[CS3] How can I jump to an embedded frame?

I'm using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2.0 and I have a
project with just one scene. Within the scene are 10 frames and
within each of the 10 frames are movieclips that I'm going to call
"chapters". Each of the chapters have numerous frames within them
that we want to user to go through one at a time. We have a "next"
and "back" button on each frame so they can go back a frame to
review something and go forward a frame once they've sat through
the content on the frame.
The problem is that when they enter a new chapter I don't
know how to code the "back" button to go back to the last frame of
the previous chapter. I tried this code:
on(release)
_parent.gotoAndStop(_parent._currentframe - 1);
gotoAndStop(12);
which takes you to the first frame of the previous chapter,
but I think once you're there it doesn't see the code to
gotoAndStop(12) (12 being the last frame of the previous chapter).
How would I get it to go to the previous chapter and then jump to
frame 12?
Thanks.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to keep that in mind for
future projects, but we've been working on this for about 2 months
and it would be a huge burden to have to change the navigation
system now. Here's a photo of the main timeline:

And here is an example of one of the chapters:

All of the chapters are set up the same way. There is a
"chapter" movieclip on each of the frames in Scene 1 so all of the
base items (background, navigation buttons, etc) are the same in
every chapter.
So, if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

  • Window vs view - how can i jump to a view which was previously created?

    Hello!
    how can i jump to a view previously created without the push or pop to view function?
    I have a UITabBarController with several view(s) (controllers)* and in one of my views i am using a navigation controller which pushes to various views. At the end, i would like to have a button, where the user can go back to its initial view (when the application is starting) i guess, that it has something to do with the rootview Controller.. the problem is: i dont have a root view controller because i am working with the TabBar example from apple, which is using the IB.
    thx for any hints..

    You know what, about 30 seconds ago I figured out what I did. I set the Quiz preferences to “Required to pass before continuing” instead of “Required to take quiz”.
    I am sure Action Script is the wrong term (I’ve only used Captivate for 2 weeks). I applied an Advanced action to skip over the knowledge checks. I got the tutorial from this link:

    How can I send pictures not embedded, but as an attachment? THX

    I had the same problem. I closed  the message, tried again selecting the correct imessage contact number and it worked.
    I'm guessing I first selected a non-imessage phone number and it got stuck in a gray/can't send mode (bug).

  • How can I forward email with embedded photos?

    How can I forward email with embedded photos so that the recipient gets them that way instead of all the text followed by all the photos?

    Hello,
    Thanks (or merci beaucoup).  I am using Mail version 5.2 (1278) that came with the iMac (Mac OS X 10.7.4).  When I forward the email to myself at my "me.com" email address from my "cox.net" email address, the photos come out as attachments even though they were embedded when I received the email on my cox.net email.   What setting(s) can I make to have it get to me.com the way it was in cox.net, i.e. embedded instead of as attachments?

  • CS3 - How can I preserve Links and Hyperlinks in my INDB?

    I am still pretty new to ID, so please speak slowly :)
    My problem - I create an INDB that consists of several indd chapters. The chapters include numerous Links (to PNG & PSD images) and Hyperlinks both to Text anchors to other chapters within the INDB, as well as to URLs. I have all items saved on my local HD. Once complete, I do "Package for Print", check the Preflight report to make sure all is OK (it is) and then save the new INDB folder in a new location on my local HD. This all seems to work just fine, BUT if I move this packaged INDB folder (such as to a backup drive, or give to another worker that copies it to their HD), upon opening the INDB file, some links and Hyperlinks are broken.
    It seems that these broken Links and Hyperlinks are still pointing to the original locations on my HD. But obviously not all are, since most links/hyperlinks DO work fine. The Hyperlinks to Text anchors within other indd chapters seem to typically break. Is there a way to force these to reference the packaged assets within the INDB folder? Seems ID would be smart enough to look there itself!
    Also, I was creating some Hyperlinks as "cross referenced" - that is, I created a URL Hyperlink Destination in Chapter 1 indd and then created Hyperlinks pointing to it from other chapter indd in the book. I have learned that these ALWAYS break in the above scenario, so I started creating the URL destination within the same chapter indd and pointing to it there rather than across chapters. But this is just more work to keep re-creating the same URL destination in every indd!
    I'll keep running into these problems since I need to share my finished INDB with other CS3 users. I also would like to be able to do a Save As of the INDB when creating a revised, newer version, but I see this also results in the new INDB links/hyperlinks still pointing to the original INDB's assets! Any way to make the Save As update the Links/Hyperlinks in the new INDB?
    Thanks greatly for any insight. I can find no help in the Help on these issues!

    How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?
    I restated the Question as follows
    Can "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be set on multiple cells at the same time.
    In both cases it is not asked if multiple cells can be set to....
    That is a given.
    Step back a second...  It is like selecting multiple cells and setting the text color of the currently selected cells to red. This can be done. More than one cell at a time modified because they are currently selected.
    Whats is being asked is:  if more than one cell is selected at the same time can the settings "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be applied. No table I put up will help with that question.
    YES or NO
    If YES how?

  • How can I have small video embeds play full screen?

    I have a design with embedded videos (pulling from my photo album).
    In the design they fit inside other elements, often at a reduced size.
    When I tap them in a presentation, I'd like them to go full screed instead of playing at their "native" embed size.
    Tap, full screen play, tap, return to page and pause.
    Much like a website does in a "lightbox" mode.
    Is this possible?

  • How can I jump to certain region on the same page?

    Hi,
    I want to jump to certain region on the same page.
    1) Let say I have 5 regions on page 15 and I have to able to redirect from region 1 to region 5 with out scrolling.
    2) I have to able to branch from page 2 to page 15 ==> region 4.
    How can I do it?
    I thank you for any help in advance.

    I can get this to work but the page is submitted, either when I use a button with URL link or from a link on a display only text field.
    Is this how it is supposed to work? I thought it was supposed to work just on the browser so it is fast.
    IGNORE THIS!
    =============================
    I resolved it easily by modifying the URL from f?p=blah blah to #LINK_NAME

  • Illustrator CS3 - How can I remove a "linked" image???

    I have an illy file that has several "linked" images.
    Some of these I wanted to keep and have embedded.
    However, I would like to delete two in particular...which the images are no longer available or desired. But I see no way to do this.
    I have tried to go to outline mode/wireframe view... and there are no boxes indicating where these images should go...so I can't delete those.
    The two images that Illy keeps asking for when I open the file have a red ? to the right of the image names.
    How can I permanently get rid of these?
    Thanks.

    Interesting. I will try that next time I have that problem.
    But on the off-chance it doesn't work for someone, what I have done in the past is to make a very small dummy file with the same name -- say a solid block if red -- and link the file to that. Then, Go To Link > Delete will work. It can be slow and painful if there are a lot of missing links, but it works.

  • How can I jump from Safari window to Safari window?

    Hey all,
    How does one jump from one Safari window to another? While Im at it, also from Tab to Tab?
    On Window to Window in WinXP, I would use Command/Tab. However, in OSX, if I Command/Tab, then I get a different program list other then available, open Safari windows.
    When in a single Safari window and have multiple tabs, to go from Tab to Tab, in Windows, you use Control/Tab. But in OSX, this does not work. I have tried variations to see if I could figure it out, but have been unsuccessful. Many thanks for any help and input.
    LH

    Command + ` is a system-wide function to toggle between open windows within any running app. Works for everything.
    In Safari 4 and 5, ShiftCommand (right or left) arrow moves tabs for me. I noticed that in Apple Discussions, should I have a "reply box" open, this copmmand will go to the that tab and stay there, highlighting text. Otherwise the combo wrks fine.

  • How can I jump from a portlet to another one in other page?

    Hi
    I'm doing a tasks list porltet, when the user makes a click over a task, the user
    has to see another porlet in other page. How can I activate a porlet residing
    in other page?
    Thanks for All

    In all portal versions you need to add the pageLabel param to the URL and the application
    automatically go the good page (for synthax look at the URL in the browser)
    For exemple in portal 8.1 using the bea tags add the following link in the jsp
    of the portlet one : go
    to the second portlet page
    You can also use a form instead just add the "_pageLabel" param to the form using
    directly
    an <input> tag not a <netui:param> tag that would prefix your parameter with the
    current portlet instance label.
    We did it for our project and it works.

  • How can i get a component from frame?

    how can i get a JTextField component from the frame?
    in my program i use button and text fields, when button is pressed the action listener performs the needed actions: it must take the values in the text fields and do something with them,
    for example i have a button - view:
    look at the comments
    public class _ActionListener_search implements ActionListener {
         private JFrame frame;
         private database dtbs;
         public _ActionListener_search(JFrame frame, database dtbs) {
              this.frame = frame;
              this.dtbs = dtbs;
         @Override
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
              if (arg0.getActionCommand().equals("view_person"))
                                            //HERE i want to get values from text fields!
                                            //i need to get JTextField component from frame and use it
    view.addActionListener(new _ActionListener_search(frame, dtbs));how can i do it?
    is this a correct way?

    If you know that you're going to need the data held in them why not give the class that holds them a public method that returns the Strings that they hold.
    public String getTextFieldXyzText()
    return textFieldXyz.getText();
    }Then if your actionlistener has a reference to this class's object, it can simply call the above method.That's what I was thinking. The view has a method getXyzText() and the listener (or some larger, enclosing controller) knows the view.
    What I would get away from is a single, switch-board listener hooked to a 100 unrelated buttons.

  • How can redirect the errorPage to another frame?

    Please advise, I have been sticking to this problem for a whole day and still can't solve it. :-(
    What I basically want to do is to redirect the errorPage to another frame, say, the main frame.
    My application has 2 frames, the main frame is a search page, the left frame is a tree which is written by JavaScript and it is a hidden frame. The form code of the search page in the main frame is like that:
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="FindAgent.jsp" target="leftFrame">
    when the submit button is clicked, it will invoke the FindAgent.jsp which will update the tree and also has codes to catch any exception if there is. The problem is that when exceptions occur, the errorPage will be shown in the leftFrame which is hidden frame so it doesn't show anything. So how can I make the errorPage displayed in the _TOP window?
    I would not mind to have the errorPage displayed in the mainFrame by changing the target to "_SELF" or doesn't specify the target attribute at all in the search page. But anyother problem arose by doing that is that the search page will go away and try to display the FindAgent.jsp which doesn't have any appearance code after submitting. So how can I keep the current search page still but the submit() has been called actually, i.e. submit the form without redirecting the current search page.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Here's an idea. Have your error page (in the hidden frame), look something like this:
    <%
      String strErrorMessage = ... // get your error message text here
    %>
    <html>
    <head>
      <script language="JavaScript">
        parent.mainframe.location = "ErrorPage.jsp";
      </script>
    </head>
    </html>So the error page loads in the hidden frame, which then extracts the error information from the exception object. Then, using javascript, the hidden frame tells the main frame (using window references) to reload to the desired page. The only issue is how to get the error message text to the new page since your exception object is lost. You can store it as a session variable, and then pass the id of the message in the url to the new page, or you could just pass the text in the url itself.
    I hope that gives you some ideas!

  • How can I highlight part of the frame and track it as it moves around in Final Cut Studio?

    I'd like to highlight part of the frame by reducing the brightness of the surroundings. My idea was to duplicate the layer, reduce the opacity of the lower layer to 80% and crop the top layer to the area I want. Problem is this, how can I then follow the area of interest as it moves around the frame without laboriously keyframing and adjusting the cropped area every frame. Moving the cropped layer moves the content so that's no good. I definitely have the wrong approach here ... struggling ...

    Regio blur (which I have and love btw) won't help me as I want everything sharp. I thought of using a box wipe transition the san duration as the clip with a cut in the middle to set the effect on and having it at 20% for example throughout and keyframing the center postion as required. Two problems with that, can't find a simple box wipe in effects (only centere wipe) and when I try it with other unsuitable wipes the size of the wipe changes when I adjust its centre position despite having the start and finish at the same percentage ... still working this one!
