Detecting movie rollover without cursor changing

Hi there,
I want my flash movie to initiate a sequence of events when
the mouse strays inside a certain area. One way I've found to do
this is create a movie with a completely transparent rectangle
enclosing the 'sensitive' area (which I've given an instance name
of ActiveArea), and attaching a rollover behaviour like this:
ActiveArea.onRollOver = function () {
play();
This is fine, except that when the mouse moves over
ActiveArea the cursor changes to a hyperlink style cursor, which I
do NOT want!
Is there either a way I can stop the cursor changing, or
alternatively a completely different approach which solves this
problem?
Any help is gratefully received!
Luke

I just found another way of doing it(before seeing the
incredibly simple solution above) which seems to work... Is there
any advantage to either approach?
Here's my way:

RollOver/MouseOver cursor change bug in external loaded swf

I have a master movie with navigation that loads a external swfs. The external swfs serve different purposes and typically have a series of buttons that navigate the timeline. The external movies with their buttons work fine running individually. When the movies are loaded through the master movie, the buttons in the external movies looses the cursor change on rollOver. These are basic invisible hotspot - button symbols. The buttons typically navigated to different frames. I am curious why the cursor change fails when loaded through the main movie, but works when run on its own.
I have done some searching in Google, but didn't find a similar issue. Any ideas? Throughout all the movies, I probably have over 200 buttons, I don't want to create rollOver and rollOut cursor changes for each. Again, these are basic button symbols.
Any clues?
Dave

Actually, the some of the external movies were created with InDesign - which is the worst application for developing Flash content with.

Starting about a week ago, my cursor changes from an arrow to a 4-pointed star shape and moves erradically and won't scroll up or down.

Starting about a week ago, my cursor changes from a plain arrow to a 4-pointed star. It also moves by itself and I cannot control it. It makes it VERY hard to scroll up or down, and it stops scrolling every so often.

Hi Krist, <br />Sorry you are having problems.
It is a while mow since I used XP, I do not remember a 4 pointed star option for the cursor.
*Is this only on Firefox?
If other programs are affected it is something to do with Windows XP or software installed on that.
If it is only on Firefox then as an initial step try in Firefox's safe mode with all plugins disabled. You may start safemode by using
* Help -> Restart with addons disabled

Detecting cursor change

Hello,
does anybody know how I can detect a cursor change in a XY graph?
Lars

I think I used mouse down and mouse up events to trigger when to do these checks.

Spry menu bar submenu disappears when cursor changes

Hello.
I've been working with a spry menu bar for some time, but when I expand the submenu and then move the cursor over some text on the page (where the sub-menu is on top of), the submenu disappears. In other words, it seems that when the cursor changes from a pointer to a text cursor, the submenu disappears.
Can anyone tell me how to prevent that from happening?

Sorry, but without a link to your online page, it's a time-wasting, error-prone guessing game.
If you put your test page and all dependent files online, and post a link here, we will gladly check that:
    Your server is working
    That all required HTML code is correct
    That your folder hierarchy is correct
    That all required dependent files (HTML, CSS, JS, Images etc.) are uploaded to proper folders
    That Javascript Versions are correct
    That link paths are all correct and case sensitive
Sounds like your submenus may be positioned with a small gap from your top-level links

How would I replace just the (imported) movie portion without having to start over the entire iDVD project from scratch?

I've just added a new ending and want to burn the new version of my iDVD project. How would I replace just the (imported FCE) movie portion without having to start over the entire iDVD project from scratch?

In an attempt to help clarify:
The FCE 3.5 project I first wrote about had 10 chapters and was a mix of stills and transcoded DSLR video clips that measured 58 min in length. After FCE converted it to a Quicktime movie, it exported from FCE to iDVD 7 flawlessly until I was asked to make a last minute change.
My older software wasn't endowed with the ability to "detect modifications". However, Deleting Assets was successful and a revised version of the original video could substituted saving me from starting iDVD over from scratch (thanks to Old Toad). Luckily, the ugly iDVD BUG did not awaken during these procedures. Thanks Bengt W.
I hope this helps the discussion.

How do I get an event-based response to a graph cursor change?

I want to respond to the user moving a cursor on a data (X-Y) graph. (LV 7.0)
What I really want is an event called "Graph.Cursor.Value Change", which would supply me with the new coordinates, but I see no such event.
If I use the MOUSE MOVE event to trigger obtaining the cursor values, it does not give me an event, until the cursor has stopped moving, the button is up, and the mouse moves off the cursor line.
Sure, I could use a TIMEOUT event, and read it every 100 mSec, but I don't like the time lag.
What I did was to set a flag TRUE on Graph.MouseDown and FALSE on Graph.MouseUp. I then choose an event timeout of 10 mSec or -1, depending on that flag.
That works, but is there a more direct way that I'm missing?

No, unfortunately there is not.
To code around this limitation, I typically use the timeout event in a more complex way as follows:
The timeout is wired to a shift register that is initialized with "-1" (no timeout). The value from the shift register then crosses the event structure and feeds to the shift register on the right in almost all event cases.
I add two special event cases:
(1) "graph-mouse down" puts a small number (e.g. 10ms) in the right timeout shift register
(2) "graph-mouse up" puts again a -1 in the right timeout shift register
(x) All other event cases (incl. timeout) wire the current timeout straight across to the right shift register.
The timeout event contains the logic to read the graph cursors and associated actions.
This way there is normally infinite timeout. Once the mouse goes down on the graph, the timeout executes at relatively rapid succession until the mouse is raised again. At which point everything quiets down.

The application detected an error that prevents changes from being saved.

Hi. I'm having this problem almost all the time when I do some color correction.
"The application detected an error that prevents changes from being saved. To avoid losing your work, quit Final Cut Pro."
Any ideas why this is happening?
I'm on a 2010 Mac Pro running latest Mavericks and latest FCP X.
I already removed FCP X, and all the effects I have installed. But still the issue persists.
Thanks.

That could have happened. I can't remember though.
Is there any work around?
I currently only have 1 open library and 1 event on it. If I move or copy that event into a new library, would that in theory work?
Thanks for the help so far.

You cannot switch to a movement type without ref. to a PO

I created a PO from a P.Rq. [ from MDO4]
NOW WHEN i TRY TO DO GOODS RECEIPT .....MIGO
i GET "you cannot switch to a movement type without ref. to a PO"
{You have replaced the movement type suggested with another movement type that does not refer to a purchase order.}
I have used the PO as reference that was created from the P.Rq. nothing was edited.(mvt 501 was self proposed in migo)
what does the system want me to here ?
Thx

Hi,
Check in MIGO Transaction, what is the movement type showing GR for Goods Receipt in right side.If it is showing 501 , changed it to 101 Movement type make it Change to Default Values 101. Now you can post GR with respect to PO.
Note:
501 Movement type used for receiving goods without PO
101 Movement type used for receiving goods with respect to PO

Ms Excel move automatically without pressing Enter or Tab to the next cell

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to make Ms Excel move automatically without pressing Enter or Tab to the next cell once a certain number of digits is entered, for example, I'm using a barcode scanner to scan a barcode of 13 digits, so I want Excel
to move to the next cell once the barcode is scanned.
example: I'm In cell A1, this code appeared after scanning "AABB1234567CC", I want Excel to move to A2 in order to scan the next barcode.

Hi,
Excel has no direct feature or option to achieve your goal. We'd better try the macro via VBA code to test. Please see the thread:

[Gnome] Cursor changes when it overrides qt applications

I use gnome desktop on Archlinux x86_64.
I noticed that sometimes when I pass my mouse over qt applications (like skype, smplayer, qtiplot,...) the cursor changes and it becomes the gnome default cursor. When I move my cursor over the desktop it returns what I have chosen.
I tried changing to other cursors but the result doesn't change.

maybe edit:
/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
have it read:
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=ATER-yellow
Same to local icons as well:
~/.icons/defaults/index.theme
I think what is happening is that the system reverts to default and doesn't know what the default is... if you specify maybe it will work.

Creating Link to New Window with Defined Size and Cursor Change

Hello,
I seem to be having a problem having a hot-spot link open a new window and perform the way I want it to. I have tried a few different ways of going about this, as described below:
The first method when defining the hot spot was to use the properties menu provided at the bottom of Dreamweaver when I click on the hot spot. When I test the page, the cursor changes to a hand and I can open the link in a new window BUT I cannot define the width and height of the new window.
The second method was after defining the hot spot, using the behaviors menu from the tag inspector. From here, I would add an Open Browser Window behavior using the onClick event. Here, I can open the new window in a pre-defined width and height BUT when I test the page, the cursor does not change to a hand. It just remains the standard arrow.
The question is, how I can define the hot spot to where the mouse will change to a hand when I scroll over it AND when the window opens, it is set to the width and height I want to define?
Thanks,
Smartin1007

Good Morning Gentlemen,
I tried placing the cursor script into the code without success. Either I'm not applying it correctly or it could be that the code in use is a combination of html and Java scripting.
Right now, I converted all of the image maps to the behaviors technique because I need the specific window sizes for the application that is being created. Steve, I am using DW CS4, and a sample of the code is provided below:
map name="Map"
area shape="rect" coords="19,466,56,503" alt="Stage Hydrograph - North Fork Licking River at Mt. Olivet, KY" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('StageHydrograph/MtOlivet.html','','width=915,height=665')"
/map
Note that there is no href reference, because I haven't found a suitable way of having an href reference with target=_blank to where I can define the new window size.
I really appreciate the advice and time that is being taken to help solve this problem.

Why the cursor changes only after moving the mouse?

I have used the setCursor() on a JInternalFrame to change the image of the cursor. I change the cursor to Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR and back to Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR in a new thread. Then the only way for the cursor to change from WAIT to DEFAULT is to move the mouse, otherwise it will remain in WAIT status. What's going wrong?

I am using version 1.1.2 in JBuilder1. I have an extended Dialog as an interface to change the Oracle Password. When the OK button is selected to complete the process of accessing the DB to make the change, I change cursor to the wait cursor before the DB is accessed. I have to move the mouse to trigger the cursor change to wait. I would think there would be an efficient way to do this. I would also appreciat some help. I'm not sure if this is a problem in later versions.
Thanks,
Mike

You can move the iTunes folder to a separate drive on your pc an then configure each account to use this drive / folder as iTunes library ... The problem is, that iTunes by default stores everything in your personal music folder which is separate for each user account in windows (and by default is on "C" drive).
I create a separate partition on every pc/laptop (and map a drive name) where I store music, videos and other mass data. This will also keep the "C" drive small, which is backed up from time to time and so my backup is also small.

Cogi error - Pipeline/consignment movement posted without value

Hi
I am getting a Cogi error Pipeline/consignment movement posted without value
This particular material was not having problem till last week and now all the time when confirmation of production order happens it goes to cogi with error
Price is maintained in info record
Please suggest

Dear friend,
some theory:
You always have 2 options - delete or process your COGI record.
Before to make a decision you need to analyse/find a reason why this error has happened.
run COGI;
tick your eror;
hit F6 (display errors) - bell icon
now you are able to see the reason.
depends on a reason (information you see now) you do your next steps
say, for instance, you did something to fix the reason,...
then
if you want to process, tick your error and Save
if everything is okay - system will POST it (cogi record will go away)
or , say, you do not care about the error -
tick your error and Delete
some practice:
please have a look at your material - probably someone changed it very recently - look at last changes using MM04 or MM03
good luck
