Changing layout mgr... can this be done?

I have created an application with an all NULL layout. I used NULL because the application doesnt need to be resized. My problem is that i created the program for a specific computer that i was told used an 800x600 screen resolution when in fact it uses 1024x768, making my application alot smaller than intended and basically worthless. Is there an EASY way to change the layout so that it fits the 1024x768 screen resolution / What would be the best and easiest way to do this?
any help greatly apopreciated... thanks

Hey, if I understand correctly what you are saying, then you have "hard coded" the placement of each component. There is not a way around the hard coding of components in an absolute layout. You are also right that since you do not have a layout now, if you do add one, then your components will not show. You cannot multipy each dimension by 1.28 and get the right size, because it is hard coded. You can, however, make a small app that reads in each word and when it comes to a dimension then it multiplies it by 1.28 and outputs it to the new file. Absolute layouts can be wonderful, but when you have to change them, they are absolutely the pits.

    hey ppl
    i have a datagrid in my form.i need to read input(fields..sort of a database) from a text file and display its contents in the datagrid.

    please help as this is urgent and important.. if possible please provide me with an example code as i am completely new to flex... 
    thanks.....  

    It's not possible to read from a file without using classes from the core API*. You'll have to get clarification from your instructor as to which classes are and are not allowed.

  • Can this be done with css rollovers?

    Hi,
       I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows PC. I understand the basics of css rollovers where you change the background image position up or down but the text used will still end up being a common font that will suit every pc. What I'd like to do is use an uncommon font in my navigation bar. I made an image in photoshop that had two versions of a word like home for example one on top of the other like you would for a css rollover but once I created a link I had the link color border around the image, so it didn't work. Here is a link to a website that is similar to what I'm trying to do http://www.inksmithtattoo.com/. Look at the navigation, can this be done using css rollovers? If not how do you think it was done? Is there a way to use uncommon fonts in a navigation bar? I even did some research on using Dreamweavers hotspot function but found that there were issues in using it for navigation. I'm getting pretty familar with Dreamweaver but I'm not that good at coding so if anyone does have any ideas please include some keywords that I can google and read more about what your trying to say, links to the info would be even better but I realize that if your as busy as I am you can't take that kind of time.
    Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you to all,  dluthier

    That site is using images only. It is not a text based link:
    here is the css they are using:
    #navAbout a {
    -moz-background-clip:border;
    -moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
    -moz-background-origin:padding;
    background:transparent url(../_img/navAbout-Home.gif) no-repeat scroll 0 0;
    left:473px;
    top:318px;
    As you can see it is an image only. See the attachment with this post. Also since it is a background image it won't show up if you right click on the so seemed text
    Please install firebug or webdeveloper plugin if on Firefox and you will be able to inspect the elements and know what exactly they are.
    Hope it helps

  • Form Validation - Can this be done?

    I have a form with several dropdown menus.
    One dropdown menu has two options yes - no
    Depending on which option is selected, i want the following
    'text' field to
    either be greyed out (if 'no' is selected) or editable (if
    'yes' is
    selected).
    Can this be done and if so, how?
    Thanks
    Andy

    Hi Paul
    Just tried your code and it does disable the text box no
    matter what was
    selected from the previous dropdown.
    How do i get the code to only disable the text box if the
    dropdown has a
    particular vaue? i.e. "no"
    it would also be great if you could point me in the right
    direction
    regarding the use of css to grey the text box out.
    Much Appreciated.

  • I I am trying to create a collage with 4-6 photo so I can print them on one sheet.   Can this be done in IPHOTO?

    I am trying to create a collage with 4-6 photo so I can print them on one sheet.   Can this be done in IPHOTO?

    Here are 3 options for future reference:
    1. With the setup you've described, apply a Match Move behavior to  the text and make the rectangle the source. Change the Transform parameter to Mimic source.  This way you can still adjust the text postion as needed, but the rectangle will drive the animation.
    2. Use a group to do the animation.  Put both your rectangle and text in the same group and animate the group's postion.
    3. Use the Link behavior.
    Each of these has it's advantages depending on what you need.

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

  • I would like to transfer the balance from one Apple ID to another how can this be done??

    I want to transfer the account ballance from my account to my son's. I unintentionally redeemed one of his gift cards to my account. how can this be done?

    Sorry, but balances can't be transferred from one iTunes Store account to another. You'll either have to make his purchases through your account, or buy another prepaid card and redeem that in his account.
    BTW, for future questions, this forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

  • I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

    I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

    You can't drag video into the filesharing pane of iTunes, you can only transfer projects.
    Videos need to come in via the photos tab of iTunes.
    The easiest way to get videos from the iPhone to the iPad is via the project export import.
    Projects can be exported from the iPhone, then imported to the iPad like this:
    iPhone Send a project or trailer to iTunes
    If the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button .
    Scroll to center the project or trailer you want to share.
    Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap iTunes; tap OK when iMovie indicates that export is complete.
    Connect your device to your computer, and then open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
    Select the device, and then click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
    Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
    In the iMovie Documents pane, select the file you just shared, and then click the “Save to” button; save the file to your computer in a place where you can find it easily.You can also save the file by dragging it to the desired location on your computer.
    Disconnect the device from your computer.
    iPad Import a project or trailer from iTunes
    Connect your device to your computer, and open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
    Select the device, and click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
    Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
    Click Add below the iMovie Documents pane; in the window that appears, navigate to the file you want to add.
    Select the file, and then click Open to copy the file to your device.The file appears in the iMovie Documents pane when copying is complete.
    Open iMovie on your device; if the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button in the upper-left corner above the viewer.
    Tap the Import button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap the name of the project you want to import.When the import is complete, the project opens and can be edited like any other project.

  • I want to have 2 seperate libraries with content in different locations, can this be done?

    Hi there, I have 2 uses for itunes, one is for my mobile DJ business and for this I store all of my music on a 2TB external firewire 800 HDD I use Traktor Pro to mix, but find itunes very good for creating playlists.  I would however like to be able to store seperate content on my internal drive in a different library for personal use as a great deal of the stuff in my DJ collection I personally have no time for, and do not want the inconvenience of needing to connect my external HDD to be able to listen to my own collection.  I have a SSD installed and have tried depressing the CMD button during startup of the application although no option for creating a new library presents its self, it may be that the start up is too quick for me to be able out this.  Any ideas guys? Many thanks.

    there may be other (better) ways out there but all i can think of is this:
    1) make one iTunes library the main one and "consolidate" files that aren't in it, but in the other computer's libraries, to it.
    you can use home sharing for this but home sharing won't copy ratings, playcounts, and original "date added". a 3rd party tool such as PowerTunes would be very useful if those details are important to you.
    2) once the "main" library is created, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) to the media server, launch iTunes while holding the option(⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the new location.
    3) repeat with the other Macs.
    with a setup such as this, be aware that only one iTunes at a time can access the library. if your intention is to enable multiple machines to access the library simultaneously, you will probably have look into a NAS with a built-in iTunes server.
