Dumb Q: problem with Find And Replace window in Flash 8

Dear Flash Group,
apologies if this is trivial, it's my first day using Flash.
I downloaded a Flash project from
http://www.flashorb.com/articles/benchmark_files/flash-benchmark.zip.
This
flash calls into a web service at localhost:8080. I used the
'Find and
Replace' window within Flash Professional 8 to locate the
string
'localhost:8080' and replaced it with plain 'localhost'.
However, when I 'Debug the Movie' (Ctrl-Shift-Enter), it
still tries to
access port 8080! Obsiously, my replace command did not do
what I thought it
would do. I opened the FLA file in a binary editor, and saw 4
more
references to 8080, One if them in 'Properties' of a
WebServicesConnector,
but I cannot figure out how to find the other occurences.
Checking on google, I see lots of people having similar
problems, but no
solutions
Any ideas?
Regards, /george
PS. What do you guys do for code completion - is there a tool
that would
bring Flash on par with an professional IDE?

Agreed.

Might they be the result of that WebServicesConnector
reference?

That's really odd, actually. I'm on these boards every day,
and I've
never heard of this issue. I don't *think* the Find/Replace
dialog visits
panel contents, such as the Component Inspector panel, but I
wouldn't swear
to that.

Well, Flash is a professional IDE, of course. By definition,
if you pay
for something, you have acquired a professional product or
service. I know
what you mean, though. Flash itself rocks, but the Actions
panel can be
glaringly weak. Personally, I use SE|PY to edit ActionScript.

Possible to dock "Find and Replace" Window?

Is it possible to group the "Find and Replace" window in one
of the panels? I would prefer to have it at the bottom of my
workspace with Properties and Results.
Thanks!

It is indeed possible, providing whatever text is inside a tag of some sort. It could be in a list, heading, paragraph, div, etc... Use the Search: Specific Tag option. See screenshot (excuse the sloppy image).

Find and Replace window - command-keys?

The "Find and Replace" dialog window has got to be the most
obnoxious bit of programming I've seen, even by Macromedia
standards.
1) Are there any command-keys that work with it, e.g. to
CLOSE it from the keyboard without having to mouse up to the
"Close" button ?
2) Is there a way to type Cmd-F and then type the string to
search for AND HAVE it actually go into the "Find" field in the
window? (I've typed Cmd-F then a string 1,000 times, only to see
that the string has NOT gone into the search field, UNLESS the
dialog was previously closed. And there's no Keyboard command to
close the window either, see (1) above)
Thanks!

Help with find and replace regex

Hello.
I have a page listing about 50 services that have named
anchors to a
glossary page. Something like this:
<a href="/glossary.html#Blogging">Blogging</a>
And what I need is to have the glossary open in a new window.
So how
do I write a regex that will give me:
<a href="/glossary.html#Blogging"
taget="blank">Blogging</a>
Thanks for any help
Lance

Thanks Brendon.
It's Regular Expression; an optioin in the find and replace
dialog.
I've got to replace 50 of these anchors, each different.
<a href="/glossary.html#Blogging">Blogging</a>
<a href="/glossary.html#yadayada">yadayada</a>
etc.
to make them each open in a new window.
<a href="/glossary.html#Blogging"

Need Help With find and Replace

I am a little green to this all. I am trying to find and
replace a word inside the edit region and Dreamweaver will not
change it, because it says its inside a locked region, but its a
editable region?
I have about 900 pages I need to make this change on and was
relying on the find and replace tool to do that. I tried differn't
advanced options, nothing seams to change it. I am using cs3.
Thanks for any help

Using Templates with a 900 page site is a crime against
humanity. You reach
the optimal size for Templates between about 50 and 100.
The error you are getting suggests that there are coding
errors on the page
(perhaps even unrelated to ANY DW Template markup). We'd need
to see the
page to make progress with what that might be, as Alan says.

Problem with Finder and Menu Fonts (uppercase A)

Hello --
I'm having a problem with fonts. All the characters that appear under icons in the Finder or in the menu for any application appear as uppercase As with boxes around them. There appears to be one uppercase A for each character that should be there. If I click-pause-click to edit the filename in the Finder, the text appears normal during the duration of the change, and then reverts to uppercase A with a box around it again. All other operation of the computer is normal.
I was watching and downloading video files in iTunes when the problem appeared. When I pressed ESC to exit full-screen mode, the Finder said that my start-up disk was almost full, and I saw the font problem. Upon investigating, I discovered that my start-up disk was completely full (and the download had failed), so the first thing I did was move some video files to an external drive, which freed about 5 GB.
Since freeing the space, I've tried the following to fix it, in this order:
1. booted from Tiger CD to run Repair Disk from Disk Utility
2. rebooted from the boot hard drive to run Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility
3. run through Disk Warrior
4. created a test admin user and logged in as that user
5. removed font cache files using terminal
6. booted in safe mode, logged in as myself, and then rebooted normally
None of these actions has had any effect. The computer is still operating normally, except for the characters that don't display correctly.
I'm running 10.4.6 on a Titanium Powerbook 500 MHz with 512MB RAM. A few months ago, I replaced the internal hard drive with an 80GB Seagate.

Hi again, zoobieboots —
I appreciate your initiating a new thread. Your post here helps to make the situation much clearer than in bmewolf's thread — particularly in terms of what you've already tried. Thanks again.
A few initial thoughts —
(a) As I was trying to suggest previously, you're apparently operating (after moving some files to an external drive) with ~6-10% (?) free disk space. Particularly given that you were working with large video files when this appeared, File fragmentation would be expected. While I haven't heard of this particular symptom resulting from fragmentation, that would be a concern to me — particularly since this immediately preceded the problematic behavior.
I've read some good reports about iDefrag, but haven't used it myself. A demo version is apparently available for HDs < 100GB. But you'd presumably need to free significantly more space first (you haven't actually said whether 5GB or ?? is the total available now). Having never experienced severe fragmentation, I don't fully understand its consequences — but another participant may be able to explain this.
<b>(b) You don't mention trying to troubleshoot potentially corrupt or incompatible fonts (or font caches), also as outlined in the other thread. As I suggested there, The X Lab's "undoing Font Book" FAQ is a useful resource in this.
(c) Although I agree it may be an unsatisfying "solution," an Archive & Install did work for bmewolf in the case that you've indicated matches yours closely.
I hope one of these suggestions is helpful. Please post back to discuss your progress.
Regards,
Dean

Problem with search and replace

I'm workin on Windows XP, Dreamwearver 8
When I do a search and replace in a site, the changes will be
made correctly, however, the auto date stamp that I'm using on my
pages will duplicate on random pages and overwrite text This
doesn't occur on all pages, and isn't connected with the actual
change I'm making. Has anyone experienced this?

Ok Gary, but...
in a SQLWorksheet write:
ababab
Now Edit -> Replace search for b , replace with \nb
Result (the last b is not replaced):
a
ba
bab
At this point, I want to have my string back on one line: Edit -> Replace search for \n , replace with (nothing here)
Result: The search text "\n" was not found.
And to make it work I have to tick the Regular Expressions checkbox (in this case substitute escaped characters is ignored).
While I agree that "it is good to have a choice", I personally find it confusing: none of the few text editors I use (Linux or OSX) behaves this way.
Regards.

Problem with xcompmgr and i3 window manager

Hey guys,
Had a hard time trying to search for this problem. and nothing came up for the exact problem I was having. Anyways this is my problem. with xcompmgr is that it doesn't seem to be refreshing or something. it leaves trails of previous windows for some reason. not sure why. Anyone have this problem or someone know how to fix it??!?
Here is a link to show you what i mean.
http://oi45.tinypic.com/2nlaghy.jpg
Thanks in advance for your kind and prompt attention.
Sincerely,
Sicariuxs

Wow psychadelic!
I found xcompmgr to be rather buggy when I used to use it. Try xcompmgr-dana (dcompmgr I think) or Compton. I used to use Compton and it worked pretty well.
I stopped using real transparency in favor of pseudo-transparency because I sometimes use the tabbed mode on multiple terminals... tell me how awesome it is to read three terminals stacked on each other

Problems with StringBuilders and Replacing Chars

I need to generate a password of random letters and numbers, I've been successful so far, but what I need to do is take the password I generated, delete one character, add a number to the end. Once that's done, I need to search the password for the letters L and O and replace them with underscore.
When I call makeBetterPassword() - It outputs : 4 random letters and a bunch of squares
When I call makeEvenBetterPassword() - I get the following error.
Exception: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
Here's my code - Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
public StringBuilder makeBetterPassword()
       makeBetterSB.setLength(passLength -1);
        makeBetterSB.append(randNumber);
      if(noise.nextBoolean() == true)
         makeBetterSB.reverse();
      return makeBetterSB;
   public void makeEvenBetterPassword()
      int indexStart = 0;
      int indexEnd = 0;
      for(int i = 0; i < makeBetterSB.length(); i++)
         indexStart = makeBetterSB.indexOf("l", 0);
         indexEnd = indexStart +1;
         makeBetterSB.replace(indexStart, indexEnd, "_");
   }

When I call makeBetterPassword() - It outputs : 4 random letters and a bunch of squaressquares: you have numbers in there that don't correspond to ASCII characters. You may want to limit the range of random numbers allowed.

Exception: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1So the original password doesn't have any "l" characters and returns -1. You have to allow for this.

Problem with opening and closing windows

Hi,
I have a Flex Desktop Application with a Splash screen that
displays for 5 seconds which is the initial WindowedApplication
which uses script to centre itself in the screen at 400 x 300.
It then loads and opens up a Window where people login and
closes the splash screen (using NativeWindow.close) - the login
window it opens is again 400 x 300 and centred on the screen.
When the user susccessfully logins in, the login window needs
to load and open a Window called MainWindow which is when my
software will actually begin - this MainWindow needs to be
maximised so I have a script inside it that does this
(NativeWindow.maximise). The login window also needs to close and
this is where my problem lies. I keep getting a problem when I use
NativeWindow.close in the login window and then open the MainWindow
and run the NativeWindow.maximise.
Any suggestions or ideas on how I can do this better? This is
my first Flex application and I'm just a beginner.
I can send the Flex archive if required.

Hi,
Please check out the URLs below.

Problem with Finder and Samba

I have done some looking around and apparently this has been an issue for others. I have not noticed it until Snow Leopard. Basically when trying to copy files to a samba server share I will get the error:
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)
I have tried copying this same file in the terminal and it works fine. From what I was reading it has to do with the way finder negotiates the encryption to the samba server. I have never seen this until now but when thought I had was to try to dis-join from the Active Directory domain I'm connected to. I saw the apple document to allow clear text passwords but I really don't see that as a solution clear text passwords are not good enough.
It seems that this is related to active directory membership.

I have confirmed I can copy the same file using the terminal to /Volumes/ShareName.
I dis-joined from the domain logged on the local account and copied the same file connected as the same user to the file server and it worked perfectly. The only people that have had issues since Snow Leopard are the ones that have their Mac joined to the domain. We didn't see this issue with Leopard.

Problems with finder and mail. Lion no mountain lion. Sorry HELP!

I came through here as cannot open in Lion.
When down loaded up dates, had many problems in lion 10.7.5
when up loading photos and the drop down menure in finder opens, To chose file , When clicking on file another opens,
When exporting same problem , click on folder and another folder opens , I have to go through this again to get in the right folder.
i also have mail issures. and up loading issus that no one ells ssem to have that dont use mac.
When up loading to pixoto. the up loads on large files are all triped colours.
I enterd the canon marathon, dead line 9pm.. I had so much stress as their up loader would not start. i had to send e mail.
E mails : I have to clck view and tick view by date every time now, Its unstable , never stays the same.
Cannot enlarge enough to read the mail Got new galses but the enlarge only 3 steps. Same for the desk top. Un user friendly for shot sighted people.
please help resolve this , Cost my an over draft to get this mad book pro.

GMail works just fine in Mail 6 here. In what way is it not working there? As to your Canon scanner, that is a Canon issue. If Canon has opted not to update their software, you can remove it and try scanning directly from Image Capture instead.
Regarding downgrading, unless you have a backup made right before installing ML, it's not an easy task. You would have to erase the hard drive, reinstall the previous system, reinstall all your apps and then import data from somewhere. And some data formats have changed - Mail, for example, has had slight changes to its mailboxes in both the last two major system upgrades. The only way to import messages that aren't still stored on the server into an older version of Mail is one at a time.

Is there still problems with cs6 and hidpi windows laptops?

I consider to buy a windows laptop with a high resolution (3200x1800) but only if i can get photoshop, illustrator and indesign work??

What is it that you are asking? There never was HighDPI support in CS6 on the Windows side and there never will be. Nobody goes back and reworks 3 year old software just because the hardware industry decided that HD monitors are no longer good enough...

Win7, DW CS6, Find and Replace, Problem: The "Done or Found" message is cut off based on your SEARCH dropdown choice.

The Find and Replace "Done or Found" message is partially cut off for "Search" dropdown choices "Source Code, Text, Text (Advanced), but not for "Specific Tag". It appears to be a programming bug sizing the "Find" and "Replace" text boxes too big for the "find and Replace" window. Has anyone else encountered this problem.

Excuse me for resurrecting this, but I have been living with this same issue, and many more issues (I won't list them here), since migrating to CS5 (understood this thread is for CS6. However, my post is relevant none the less). If anyone has the fix I would love to know what they found. But sadly, I doubt there is one.
My system and display settings are also Win7 at 100% display. When doing a Find and Replace I can barely see what the results are for how many occurrences in the find window because the bottom is cutting off half of the text, just like the OP screen shot above. If the results reads "Done. 2 items found" it can easily be mistaken for "Done. 3 items found" if I don't study it carefully because of the bottom half of the "2" is cut off.
I don't want to rant here, but I will a little which I'll confess is the real purpose of my post. I am so disappointed in Adobe for so many different bugs in their software suite which they choose not to address, or even acknowledge as existing. I've had their tech support on the phone while they were recording my screen as I recreated issues for them, they never got back to me on any of them. I just got lip service how their engineers are looking into it and they'll get back to me. This of course was when CS5 still had free support under warranty.
At this point I'm numb to it all and I'm stuck using their software because I'm used to it, which ultimately is their goal anyway I'm sure. You win Adobe.
BTW...if anyone replies, please do not suggest the basic troubleshooting steps. All of the issues I've had exists after multiple re-installs on formatted hard drives and on both of my PCs made by two different manufacturers with different hardware specs (both exceeded min hardware requirements). Not to mention been through various techniques while on the phone with them..
Ahh... I feel better now.
