Connect Gallery buttons rather than thumbnails?

This seems like it should be easy, but I cannot figure out how to do this in AS3. And after pouring through several books and lots of sample projects, no one quite seems to be using this method to create galleries.
The goal: A gallery with circles for buttons that, when clicked, move already loaded images into view.
I have built a widget that creates the buttons and loads the images, but how do I make a connection between one dynamically created sprite (the button) and another (the corresponding image)?
When adding children, is there a way to find its reference in the display object list? The buttons are named and will trace their names when clicked, but I don't see this when I'm listing the display objects. And I'm not sure how I can use these names or provide similar names for my loaded images. (My confusion is becoming evident here -- or at least clouding my mind -- so I'll just leave it at that.)
BTW, I have come across several tools/players that do something similar to what I want, but I'd prefer not to use someone else's controller. (It seems like the time to code this should be less than the time to skin/understand/customize someone else's FLA/SWF.)
Thanks,
Tim

It's no problem to use an index to link these. Ideally, I want Button_1 to control Image_1 and so having Loader_1 do this makes sense.
What I'm not seeing is how to do this with event listeners. I'm going to have lots of different functions referring to the loaders, and the only way I've used this so far in my AS3 career is with globals defined outside of functions on the timeline. (I've never used classes of my own creation.)
I've tried creating a global array of loaders, but Flash kicks out tons of errors, telling me I can't use null objects. Or I try doing something like this:
var pictLdr+i = new Loader();
and get a syntax error.
I can envision that this is easier with classes (for an experience object oriented programmer!). But is there a way to do this without classes?

On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account?

I'm signed up to the Cloud and itunes match - the whole game. But I cam getting annoyed with having to delete songs one by one on my iPhone once dowloaded from the cloud as I only have a 16GB phone....yes I listen to music non-stop! So, I am thinking about getting an iPAD as I rarely use my MacBook Pro for anything other than surfing and music now... so the question is: "On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone (if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account where I know you can clear down and refill with ease)????

Is there a way to have numbers in a row show below your slideshow rather than thumbnail images?

I'd like to have just a row of numbers for the viewer to tick through, rather than thumbnail images, to save space around my slideshow...have checked the counter but that must not have been the thing

Hello,
Slideshow thubnails won't accept anything else apart from images. Slideshows only accept images. Use compositions if you wish to insert text etc.

Videos on ipad in list format rather than thumbnail

how do i get videos on ipad in list format rather than thumbnail

If anyone from Apple reads this- why can't you give us the option of a list view?
Apple does NOT read this board. If want a change, you need to submit your displeasure via Feedback at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I've already complained about this. But they'll need here this from multiple people to make a change. If not enough people complain, they assume no one cares, and list view (like lyrics) will dissappear forever.

Adobe reader opens "save as" box when clicking on save button rather than saving in the same file

Hi everybody,
I have a fillable PDF form designed in Livecycle designer and it is reader extended. When I fill that form on MAC it let me fill and save the form as many times as I like. Everytime I make any change I just click the save button it saves changes in the same form. BUT is is behaving differently on Windows. After filling the form out when I click on save button it opens up "Save as " dialogue box to save a new copy with those changes. I have Adobe reader XI and Adobe Acrobat XI installed on windows. I know I can do that with Acrobat but I want that in reader for users who dont have acrobat.
Please help me.....
Thanks

What are you filling out the form with on the MAC?

Why is PS 6 showing hourglass/egg timer rather than thumbnails in the organizer?

I have uploaded some pictures using Photoshop Elements 6 and they usually show up as thumbnails. They are showing as an hourglass/egg timer instead. All previously uploaded pictures are still showing as thumbnails. How do I correct this problem? BTW - in the lower left hand corner of the organizer - it does not say "generating" thumbnails. I have also tried right clicking the thumbnail, then update thumbnail, but this does not work. I can, however, view the pictures is full screen mode.

See this FAQ:

I'd like to modify how recently visited site are shown: Listed like before rather than thumbnails, and sorted by most recent rather than most frequent. Thanks.

I did find one thread on creating a custom bookmarks folder that contains the recently visited sites sorted by recency, but I can't figure out how to create it. I'm pretty computer-savvy but the links provided don't go to a clear path on achieving what the topic is about.
And I found nothing on changing back to the former list view that existed before the recent update that went to thumbnails. Note this is not an issue new browser windows but it is when opening a New Tab -- the new version shows thumbnails, but I'd prefer the list.
Thanks!

Firefox (version 13 and higher) shows thumbnails when opening a new tab. If you saw a list view at some point, then that feature was provided by an extension you've installed. Check if the extension in question has been updated for Firefox 13. Setting the new tab page to open ''about:blank'' may also restore the extension's functionality. See the following article for details:
* [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites]]
To create your own smart bookmark folders, you can use the following extension.

Radio Button Rather then DropDown

Hello,
I have a column with Boolean value, I know there is a way to display column in DropDown/EditBox/Multiselect. Is it posible to display Radio Button rather than Drop Down and it should work the same way as DropDown.

Hey Rahul,
Throw the following script in a text box on your dashboard page and enable html. It'll turn any dropdown box into radio buttons.
Cheers!

Can I use thumbnails rather than the {sitename} to load different galleries?

Hi all-
I'm new to Spry and all things Javascripting but I'm attempting to construct a image gallery using Spry in Dreamweaver CS3. I've used the "Original Photo Gallery" from the Spry Demo folder as a jumping off point and everything works correctly.
I would like to know if it is possible to use representative thumbnails rather than the select dropdown to launch the different galleries? I'm sure it is, but I'm a total neophyte and have no idea what to do. I'd like to set up a AP Div with 9 thumbnails in a table that would each launch a different gallery. How do I do that?

Hello, because you're SELECTing tournament.tourtype in the SELECT list, the answer is not really. If you didn't need t.tourtype in the SELECT list, you could have:
select m.memberid, m.lastname, m.firstname
from member m
where exists (select 1
        from entry e inner join tournament t on (e.tourid=t.tourid)
        where m.memberid=e.memberid
            and upper(t.tourtype)='OPEN');And you know the t.tourtype is 'OPEN' anyway, so you don't need to SELECT it. So you could have this, and the answer is yes:
select m.memberid, m.lastname, m.firstname, 'OPEN' tourtype
from member m
where exists (select 1
        from entry e inner join tournament t on (e.tourid=t.tourid)
        where m.memberid=e.memberid
            and upper(t.tourtype)='OPEN');Edited by: SeánMacGC on May 7, 2009 2:09 AM

Outlook clients are connecting to different site public folder rather than same site public folder on exchange 2010

Team,
users are unable to expand public folder from outlook, but they are able to navigate through outlook web access.
noticed the outlook connections are connected to other child domain PF server rather than local site public folder server.
due to this issue, users are unable to navigate to pf's , by restarting RPC Client access service , now users are able to connect to local public folder servers.
all the databases are pointed to local pf database. all the settings looks good.
any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Srinivasa,
How about OWA?
If it works in OWA, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
I also suggest make sure the Outlook client has the latest patch.
Also try to re-install Outlook.
Thanks

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the button is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

In popup step how do I get the "text on the button" in the report rather than button index?

(1)
How do I configure the POPUP step in "SEQ MAIN.seq" to execute the second
step (IS OUT PUT IS 20?) in "SEQ 1.seq" when "IS OUT PUT IS 20?" button
hit and execute the third step (IS OUT PUT IS 30?) in "SEQ 1.seq" when "IS
OUT PUT IS 30?" button hit.

The handle to the Step.Button1Label gets you the data, but there are several ways to get it into the actual report.
The easiest is to use the reporttext.
In a post expression, you can use something like
Step.Result.ReportText = Evaluate("Step.Button" + Str(Step.Result.ButtonHit) +"Label")
and then the default report generation will include it in the report. Otherwise, you need to get the text into the Resultlist by various means (check the user manual, or the TestStand II customisation course) and handle the report generation yourself inside of the appropriate sequence in the process model.

Can 'track list' button show your playlist rather than album track list?

Hi all
My 3GS iPhone has my music on it in the form of whole albums which live in individual playlists on my Mac, but I also have playlist 'mixes' which I've created from various songs from multiple albums.
When selecting to play a 'mixed' playlist on my iPhone I tap on it, tap the first song to start the music playing, but then if I tap the top right 'track list' button, instead of showing all the tracks in my created playlist it just shows the entire album tracks from where this particular song has come from. Visually I prefer the 'track list' screen but it seems I can't use it if I'm playing a 'mixed' playlist. Is there any way around this?
Also, this is the same if I have a double CD album: once I hit the 'track list' button it shows just CD 1 (or 2 if I'm further down the play list of course), rather than all the tracks even though on they all live in one single playlist on my iTunes. I've even taken the starts of the track names off (some of them start with '1_01 Song Title' for example) when importing them into iTunes to see if that helps but it doesn't: the iPhone KNOWS how that track was originally supplied!
Any help or clarification on this would be very helpful!
Markos

sadly, that kind of customization is only easily doable on a computer. the iPhone and it's core apps can not be changed by users. you can request the feature be put in, but unless there are a LOT of requests, you shouldn't get your hopes up as there are a lot of these kinds of requests, and by implementing it, how many other users would be angry and demand it be changed back? http://www.apple.com/feedback/
if you are playing a song that you selected in a playlist, you should be able to hit the 'back' button in the top left to go back to the playlist and view your songs in the playlist.
in regards to the 'cd 1 of 2' thing, you will need to change your song info to get this to show in the format you want. to see the song info, select a song and go to 'file -> get info'. that will show you all of the ID3 tag information, which you can edit to do whatever you want.

I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible?

I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible? In a nutshell I want to point the link to an image in a directory that uses just part of the address.

I know this is something you can do in Maya with linked files. I guess InDesign just isn't there yet.
MW Design - Yeah I think "Relative paths" is the right term! I want to create a Layout with an image in the center of the page - and then duplicate my folder structure with that file. With that, I want to replace the Linked image file with a diferent image file of the same name. In effect having multiple files of the same layout with different images. I hope that made sense.

CBMA issue in PI 7.31 - Connection type is RFC rather than JMS.

Hi,
I am facing issue with CBMA in production PI 7.31 which is working perfectly in quality system. I configured alert rules and scheduled AlertConsumerJob also. Configured alerting.isactive to true and alerting.target to '1'.
I observed that Message Alert configuration from PIMON is routed to alert framework rather than to the page where rules that are created in ID are displayed. From nwa->soa->monitor->Message Alert Configuration, able to see the rules created in ID. Does correcting this helps me?
Not sure if this is correct or not, but i even tried pinging the url http://host:port/AdapterFramework/alerting/ping.jsp, which shows Connection type as RFC in production. In quality it was JMS. Is this the issue? Please guide me.
Thanks,
Prasanna.

Hi,
Did you run the CTC wizard for this ?
