Dissapearing letters..

Hi,
Here's the senario:
I created some text "Welcome", and then made it a graphic
symbol on frame 1. On frame 30, I moved the symbol and enlarged it
with free transform, and created a motion tween between the two
frames. The tween works fine, except the "e" on the end of welcome
dissapears a few times during the tween. I'm stupmped - Any help
would be greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance

lol - you're welcome! I guess that did the trick eh?

Dissapearing letters in forms fields

After creating a multi-record block displaying 12 records I added a text item that only displays one item per record. If an item (the text item in my case) has a different number of records displayed as defined within the block properties (block = 12, text-item = 1) then the first character entered into the text field must be entered twice before it is displayed. You can see the character being written and then being immediately removed! My version of forms (Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.16.1 (Production))
Thanks in advance!

It is some sort of bug.
I encountered that problem in forms recently, too. I had a multi-record block with some items' "Number of Items Displayed" property set to 1. And by the way, I had also set the background color of the canvas. On the singly-occurring fields, the first character entered was erased.
Metalink said they would report it as a bug, and then found a workaround: Instead of directly setting the canvas background color, assign the canvas to a visual attribute, and change the background of the visual attribute. Doing this got rid of the disappearing character.
Go figure...

Broken keys

Hi,
I have a 8 months old iBook G4 1.33MHz and this morning I decided to give the keyboard a clean so I released it from the laptop, when I was manipulating it suddently the screw lock key jumped off (it wasn't locked to the laptop) this is the one between F5 and F6. I could see that the right hook side of the key was almost gone and it wouldn't click properly. Using a bit of force I managed to make it stay. I assumed it was a faulty key but made me think if Apple in these cases sends a new replacement keyboard for the customers themselves to change or you have to send the computer for servicing.
I would like to have a new keyboard (expensive laptop with a not so good keyboard, no thanks ) or use it for spares (I heard comments of dissapearing letters)
Has any anybody had a similar experience?
It stuck today but it might not be tomorrow.
Thanks

don't know how it works in Spain, in the U.S. parts for iBooks are not available as do-it-yourself (except for the batteries.)

contact Apple authorised service provider in your area, they should be able to order keyboard.
also, you probably do not need to return your old keyboard, but confirm with your service provider.

Dissapearing Image

I am having trouble with the following code, which reads in a set of .png images that are named 1 -26 respectively, and outputs 25 of them in a grid. I draw each image to an offscreen image, back, which I then draw to the JFrame.
When I run the program, I see the image for a second (actually much less time) and then it dissapears.

Using a DocumentListener makes other components dissapear.

I was wanting to use a DocumentListener to cut down on some code but when I used it all the buttons and TextFields dissapeared. Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem. Here is some of the code.
// Only activate the button if there are more than 3 letters
Document doc = lettersField.getDocument();
doc.addDocumentListener(new MyDocumentListener());
Document doc2 = addField.getDocument();
doc2.addDocumentListener(new MyDocumentListener());
class MyDocumentListener implemets DocumentListener {
JButton = tempButton;
Document = tempDoc;
public MyDocumentListener() {
if(letters.hasFocus() ) {
tempButton = letters;
tempDoc = lettersField.getDocument();
} else if (addWord.hasFocus() ) {
tempButton = addWord;
tempDoc = addField.getDocument();
public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
try {
if( (tempDoc.getText(0, tempDoc.getLength()) ).length() >= 3) {
tempButton.setEnabled(true);
} catch (BadLocationException badLoc) {
// Deactivate the button when there are less than 3 letters
public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
try {
if( (tempDoc.getText(0, tempDoc.getLength()) ).length() < 3) {
tempButton.setEnabled(false);
} catch (BadLocationException badLoc) {
public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) { }
}

First of all the first two lines of your MyDocumentListener class won't compile ("JButton = tempButton"? What's that supposed to mean?)
Second, the constructor for that class is testing whether certain fields have the focus. That only happens when you create the MyDocumentListener, so what's the point?
Mind-reading time again. I am guessing you want to associate a JButton with each instance of the listener, so that the listener can enable and disable it as necessary. So, do this:class MyDocumentListener implements DocumentListener {
JButton associatedButton;
public MyDocumentListener(JButton theButton) {
    associatedButton = theButton;
}Note that I didn't tell the MyDocumentListener what Document it was listening to. I don't have to do that because DocumentEvent has a getDocument() method that tells me that for each event. So use this as one of the methods in MyDocumentListener:public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
Document doc = e.getDocument();
try {
    if(doc.getLength() >= 3){
// sorry about the >, it's supposed to be the greater-than symbol but it won't come out that way.
      associatedButton.setEnabled(true);
} catch (BadLocationException badLoc) {
}Finally, in your main program do this to assign the listeners to the fields:lettersField.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new MyDocumentListener(letters));
addField.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new MyDocumentListener(addWord));

Loops dissapeared

Hi
My Loops dissapeared from my browser, I guess I must of clicked on something without realising what the consequences were/are (LOL). When I click on the Loop browser it just tells me it can't find them and asks me to re-install them!
I (of course) can see them in my audio folder (home/library/audio/apple loops .... and all the other stuff apple loops index etc) so I assume you don't need to re-install. However, how do I get them back into my Garage band - and later I hope into Logic which is what I more often use.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. i'm still on Tiger and so using 3.0.4. But that shouldn't make a big difference.

Dunning costs and Dunning letters

Hi to All,
Any body can help me out, In this regard.,
In the report of Dunning cost(Sendiing Dunning letters to customers)., Customers are showing but company code was not showing.How can i get the company code for those customers.
And one more thing was customer dunning letter cost also showing differently for Customers(for one customer $ 2 and for other itwas variated to $2.50 likewise).
Where I can see the dunning letter cost per customer.
Thanks If in advance,
Dara

Hi,
Line items should reach minimum number of days, referring to the due date of net payment, to reach a certain dunning level.
In FBMP check you dunning interval. If line item has reached interval maintained for 2rd and 3rd level then items will not be dunned.
Also check dunning levels for your dunning procedure in FBMP.
If you find no problem with dunning settings then, activate additional log for the dunning run to identify exact reason for the problem.
Thanks!

If e-mail is moderately long if I delete a letter or digit the cursor disappears, have to recover it, all deleted letters or digits appear at end of e-mail

If I type a moderately long e-mail (I haven't counted the letters/digits to determine how long), then suddenly letters won't appear. If make a typing errors, and backspace over or delete the error/s, the cursor will disappear. It's not anywhere in the body of the e-mail (or anywhere else I've noticed). I can get it to reappear by highlighting every word in the e-mail, then undoing that.
All the letters/digits I've deleted reappear at the end of the e-mail--but only in the e-mail received (by the recipient). If I save the e-mail as a draft, when I look at the draft, the I'll see the deleted letters/symbols at the end of the e-mail. If I click on edit, they disappear. But recipients see all of them, regardless of whether I edit the e-mail or not.
The last time I asked this "question", I was told to update. That was probably 5 updates ago. There has been no change.
I don't know if the problem persists in safe mode because I have forgotten to switch into safe mode every time I use TB. Sometimes I remember to run TB in safe mode but don't have reason to type a long e-mail.
I'm really tired of this problem.
OS is win 7 pro w/service pack 1.

May I ask why? Have you learned that that specific problem is solved in a pre-release version? So far I've upgraded once on your advice, now I've upgraded again to 31. Problem's still there. Unless I'm told that the problem's been solved for sure in a latter version, I'm not going to upgrade because sometimes the upgrades bring problems w/them for a low tech user. I don't want to chat, etc., I just want to be able to send and receive e-mails.
I'm still working with the security software people re: some continuing issues w/FF.
I'd like to spend more time doing my work, or communicating w/friends, not dealing w/software problems.
Is there anyway of my finding out what, if any update, includes whatever is needed to solve my specific problem? I use Win7 Pro, SP1, 3.40 Gz processor, 3.19 Gb usable RAM, 64 bit OS. I don't know what other information is needed.

Wow! Mail dissapears, stores in wrong folder, wrong titles, ...

I am getting a very strange behaviour in mail.app since my update to 10.5.4. Parts of emails are stored in the drafts folder without me asking. Some mails will open with a different text from the title or header. Some mail will seemingly be sent but does not appear in the Sent folder...
I've reintiated the prefs file, rebuilt all the mailboxes. To no effect, I'm still getting the same behaviour erratically, it is not permanent, it appears very suddenly, then for no reason dissapears again. Could it be a ... (wolves crying) ...virus!?!?
Please help.
Mark

Hello mark:
You can set aside a concern about a virus. There are NO documented viruses that affect a Mac running OS X - none.
If I were you, I would download the combo updater, install it, and see if that fixes the problem. Sometimes things go wrong with either the download or the update itself.
I do see that you trashed the preference file and rebuilt the mailboxes - two things that I would have suggested.
If the above does not help, I would opt for an archive and install.

How do I change the lettering size on my HP Photosmart 5512?

I need to know if there is any way to change the size of the lettering when I print something? When I print the size on the paper comes out jumbo.. How do I make it normal size so I am not wasting so much paper? I have an HP Photosmart 5512 series printer and I am using windows vista

Does it print double when you print a certain application like email or web pages or does it do it on everything ?
If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.
I'm a printer tech with HP.
