Dragging rotated and nested symbol causes registration point issues

Has anyone noticed registration point issues when trying to drag a nested symbol or if you place a symbol on the stage and manually roated it with the rotate tool?
I have been tryig to master the science of this and am still having a helluva time. It looks like it thinks your mouse is the 0,0 point and instantly jumps the symbol you are attemping to drag.
Has anyone else noticed this and figured out a workaround?
I noticed if I dynamically place the symbol it doesnt have this issue but I would prefer to not be forced into that

Yes there is. After you have paused at the IN-point, hit shift + left arrow, this will mark the IN-point. Play to OUT-point, pause, shift + left arrow and the clip is selected from the two points.

Help: Flash Drag, Rotate and Drop

Hi, it's simple i know some of you knows how to do this. This
is just a sample idea wheel, see picture:
http://www.geocities.com/varcharcode/dragrotatedrop.jpg
how to make something like that in flash? You drag the
answer, you rotate it then drop it inside the wheel
do you have a sample .fla? I know how to make a drag and drop
but i don't know how to make it rotatable.

Hi R
Note that the Border simply adds space to the project so the
playback controls aren't covering part of your movie. Assuming you
want that to continue AND have a playback control, you might resize
the project so the playback control is included in the main movie
as well as being placed in an area that doesn't possibly obscure
any screen activity.
Cheers... Rick

Updating link to Word Doc is causing a permissions issue

Hi. I am attempting to update a link to a Word file, and it is causing a permissions issues in Word when I try to open the Word document back up while the InDesign file is still open.
Is there any way to link to a Word document that can be worked on while the InDesign file is being worked on? I think I can use buzzword as an alternative, but I'm looking for the easiest possible solution.
Thanks!
Alicia

Word checks for locked files. In that if another app is using the file, you can not open the file until the other app closes the file. It does this to make sure word has the lastest version of the file. This is partly due to word being using in an office environment were multiple people can be working on the same document.
Since word is fairly quick to open. You could use the edit original icon in the links panel of InDesign. Make your changes in word once the document opens, then use the keyboard shortcuts ctrl-s to save and alt-F4 to close word.

Registration and pivot point issue

The pivot/rotation points default back to the center of the symbol when I drag them from the library for later use.
Here's what's happening. I create a symbol, double click to edit and set the registration point (the cross hairs); the pivot point (the white dot) automatically moves to the registration point. Great! When I drag the same symbol from the library to the stage in a later scene the registration point is the same but the pivot point has defaulted to the center position of the symbol. How do I keep this from happening? Am I leaving out a step? Help, please!

Never mind. I think I figured it out; create the object on the stage, edit the registration and pivot points in the symbol in the library, return to stage, right click symbol and 'set transformation point.' I might be able to set that last action as a hot key.
Thanks for all your help. You should write the manuals.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

- Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery. Just the icon.
- Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
- What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

TS3579 I found this useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up

I found this (TS3579: If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac Learn about If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac) useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up in Finder.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

I'm trying to play Symbol A and it's nested Symbol B and C with one button, and play Symbol B and C without playing Symbol A with a second button...

I can't seem to get the nested symbol to play without it's parent playing too.
This works for getting both symbols to play on button 1
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("marketing_buttons").getSymbol("online").play();
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("marketing_buttons").getSymbol("promotions").pla y();
Everything I've done to play just B and C play all three. Is what I'm trying to do even possible?
Thanks in advance.
-h

sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("marketing_buttons").getSymbol("online").play();
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("marketing_buttons").getSymbol("promotions").pla y();
This works now to play all three from one button. With a different button, I want to play just the nested "online" and "promotions", plus add an completely new animation to both. All without effecting the animation in "marketing_buttons".

Movieclip registration point defaulting to top left of nested movieclip when placed on stage

basicaly there is a movieclip holding multiple movieclips with animations that pass from right to left making the overall registration point of the parent MC to somewhere right of the stage
in the parent movieclip there is a background that is the exact size and placement of the stage and the top left of that background is where the parents registration point is being loaded at..I
I'm not sure if this has any relivance but i defined the movieclip as a variable and placed that variable at the specified coords..
addChild(PLevel);
PLevel.x = w/2;
PLevel.y = h;
where w is the max width of screen and h is the min height
my registration for that moveclip would be the bottom of the movieclip centered on the stage background

I can't find anything of a question or problem in your posting. You mention three different locations for registration points, but I am unable to determine anything from your doing so.

Contain a drag and drop symbol within a specified area.

I am very green with Adobe Flash but I have a question I was hoping you could walk me through like a child. I have CS3 using AS2 and need to know how you can confine the area of movement of a drag and drop symbol within a specific area. I have an rectangular field in which I need items to be able to drag and drop but not outside the field.
Thanks,
Soups

If you look at the startDrag method you will find that it provides the options for specifying the limits of movement...
startDrag([lockCenter: Boolean], [left: Number], [top: Number], [right: Number], [bottom: Number])
See the help documents: startDrag in ActionScript 2.0

Flipping and Registration Points

Say you have a movie-clip you dynamically added to the stage,
either with createEmptyMovieClip or attachMovie. The registration
point, by default, is in the top-left.
A common way to flip it horizontally it is to negate the
x-scale, or you can apply a transformed Matrix to it.
In either case, the result is the same: the movie "flips"
over the vertical axis (left edge). To get it to look like where it
was before, you shift it over.
But that breaks the co-ordinates! What was previously an _x
value of, say, 20, is now something like 142 (depending on the
width of the object).
My question is: is there any way to flip a movie-clip
in-place without changing its co-ordinates? That is, to make it
flip, and look like it's in the exact same place, without the _x
and _y values.
I've tried _xscale and Matrix transformations; I'm also 95%
sure you can't move the registration point on dynamically-attached
movie-clips (to make it flip about the center), is that
correct?

You can achieve this when you attach the MC to an empty MC.
That way you can use the coordinates of the 1st MC, while the MC
inside it can be flipped and moved.

Moving the registration point

how can i move the original registration point , for example
i draw a rectangle with the registration point in the middle , but
when i move the rectangle down the registration point stays on top
and my rectangle which is in the bottom has no registration point
how can i move the rectangle along with its registration point
????

Not sure I follow, but I'll take a guess. Are you referring
to the + sign in the middle of stage screen when creating a symbol?
or the centerpoint white dot in the middle of an object. If the
former, then it doesn't move. If the latter, just click and drag
the white dot. It will move the centerpoint (it will snap to
anchors too). Hope that helps.

Is there a way to preserve the registrations points in a legacy file?

I installed CS5 yesterday, modified a Flex skin template and exported it. To my surprise, in the Flex application, all the symbols were offset from their positions... What happens is that in CS5 the registration point is centered and not in the top left corner. This effectively kills the whole Flex skin template (with tens of symbols) and makes it useless.
Is there a way to either preserve the registration points or automatically reposition them? I do know that I can simply edit every single one and have the registration point set correctly but that is not practical, or feasible, taken in consideration my company's development time for this product... very frustrating!

What do you mean by "image number"? The file names like "IMG_7822.CR2" or "IMG_7822.jpg"?
You can create custom names with appended numbers, when you export your image files to be saved on a disk.
Sort your images by date in the browser, select them, then use the command "File > Export > Version" to write the files to the disk. Set the name format to "Custem Name with Index" or "Custom Name with Counter" to create numbered names in your current sort order.

Flash hangs because of too many nested symbols

I am trying to create an Flash application where areas expand
when the user pushes a button which pushes the rest of the GUI down
as it expands. To accomplish this, I have every line of the GUI (it
is a chart-looking interface) nested in the symbol above it,
creating nested movieclip, inside of nested movieclip, etc. This
way when the user clicks to expand the section to view more
details, it will move down all the symbols. Eventually this causes
my Mac g5 to hang indefinitely when trying to put the last groups
together.
Do you think it is the many nested symbols that are causing
this? They go as far as 9 deep sometimes. My 400KB fla file will
end up taking 1 GB of memory and spiking the CPU at 100%, and, of
course, is not responding. Thank you.

Make an official bug report on this. I and a few others have
experienced the identical problem, using PCs, but are unable to
supply sample files for Adobe to test due to confidentiality
restrictions. If you can supply Adobe with your sample file, maybe
they can figure out the problem and fix it.
By the way, the problem never occurred for me in previous
versions of Flash.
Please report it here ASAP:

ORA-06502 during a procedure which uses Bulk collect feature and nested tab

Hello Friends,
have created one procedure which uses Bulk collect and nested table to hold the bulk data. This procedure was using one cursor and a nested table with the same type as the cursor to hold data fetched from cursor. Bulk collection technique was used to collect data from cursor to nested table. But it is giving ORA-06502 error.
I reduced code of procedure to following to trace the error point. But still error is comming. Please help us to find the cause and solve it.
Script which is giving error:
declare
v_Errorflag BINARY_INTEGER;
v_flag number := 1;
CURSOR cur_terminal_info Is
SELECT distinct
'a' SettlementType
FROM
dual;
TYPE typ_cur_terminal IS TABLE OF cur_terminal_info%ROWTYPE;
Tab_Terminal_info typ_cur_Terminal;
BEGIN
v_Errorflag := 2;
OPEN cur_terminal_info;
LOOP
v_Errorflag := 4;
FETCH cur_terminal_info BULK COLLECT INTO tab_terminal_info LIMIT 300;
EXIT WHEN cur_terminal_info%rowcount <= 0;
v_Errorflag := 5;
FOR Y IN Tab_Terminal_Info.FIRST..tab_terminal_info.LAST
LOOP
dbms_output.put_line(v_flag);
v_flag := v_flag + 1;
end loop;
END LOOP;
v_Errorflag := 13;
COMMIT;
END;
I have updated script as following to change datatype as varchar2 for nested table, but still same error is
comming..
declare
v_Errorflag BINARY_INTEGER;
v_flag number := 1;
CURSOR cur_terminal_info Is
SELECT distinct
'a' SettlementType
FROM
dual;
TYPE typ_cur_terminal IS TABLE OF varchar2(50);
Tab_Terminal_info typ_cur_Terminal;
BEGIN
v_Errorflag := 2;
OPEN cur_terminal_info;
LOOP
v_Errorflag := 4;
FETCH cur_terminal_info BULK COLLECT INTO tab_terminal_info LIMIT 300;
EXIT WHEN cur_terminal_info%rowcount <= 0;
v_Errorflag := 5;
FOR Y IN Tab_Terminal_Info.FIRST..tab_terminal_info.LAST
LOOP
dbms_output.put_line(v_flag);
v_flag := v_flag + 1;
end loop;
END LOOP;
v_Errorflag := 13;
COMMIT;
I could not find the exact reason of error.
Please help us to solve this error.
Thanks and Regards..
Dipali..

Hello Friends,
I got the solution.. :)
I did one mistake in procedure where the loop should end.
I used the statemetn: EXIT WHEN cur_terminal_info%rowcount <= 0;
But it should be: EXIT WHEN Tab_Terminal_Info.COUNT <= 0;
Now my script is working fine.. :)
Thanks and Regards,
Dipali..
