Easy AS2 script btn advice needed pls,

I have a nav bar movie clip in a flash document imbedded as swf in an html page. I want the button on release to go to a particular frame of a flash timeline imbedded as swf in another html page.
The html page is in a different folder at the same level, so ../ works to get to the html page. But then I dont know how to drill into the flash time line from there.
Any help appreciated, thank you.

then this isn't going to be the easiest thing for you. you need to:
1. use getURL() to open your other html page, append a query string to the url that indicates the frame you want to display in the other swf
2. add a javascript function to the other html page that returns location.href when called
3. call that javascript function from your other swf (using the externalinterface class) and finally
4. use preloader code in your other swf to ensure the needed frame is loaded and execute your goto to display the desired frame.

DropBox v TimeCapsule (advice needed, pls help)

Hi everyone,
I need advice on how to set up my home system in terms of using Dropbox, Hard drive usage and home networking.
Please bear with me while i explain my situation. I run my own Graphic Design business from a home office, I have an 27" iMac and i have a 13" Alu Late 2008 Macbook which i use for my work. I mainly work on my iMac most of the time and then use my macbook in evenings (in front of TV) and when out of the house/office. My iMac has a 1TB hard drive and my Macbook has a 160GB hard drive. I also have a 3TB Lacie external hard drive storing all of my files.
I have a Pro Dropbox account so i have just over a 1TB of storage there too. My plan was to use the Dropbox as my main file storage so it syncs all the files on bot macs and i don't have to waste time dragging files to different backups (i can also use files remotely when i am on my Macbook out of the office or downstairs etc), get a program like Crash Plan to make a backup of everything and then have a physical copy on my Lacie drive just to ensure i am safe every which way.
The problem i have is that my macbook's hard drive is only 160gb and as i use a lot of large files my dropbox just eats up my hard drive and i can't use all the files i have on my dropbox. I have tried to think of lots of ways around syncing but the way Dropbox works is exactly what i want to do. I have considered changing my plan and buying a TimeCapsule and use that as a home network then use Dropbox if i need anything out of the house. So i suppose my questions are:
Do i buy a TC and use that for my home network to save on hard drive space and mean i can work in any room but still sync?
Or, do i buy a new 1TB hard drive for my 2008 macbook so Dropbox can save on there and sync files?
Or, buy a new macbook pro (only problem is the new ones use a flash drive which won't hold the dropbox), i can really afford this option either at the moment?
Please help me out guys as i need things to just work as i am pretty busy and can't decide which to do to help me out...any suggestions welcome.

Once you boot a computer from SSD you will never go back to mechanical disks ... at least for boot.
Buy the biggest you can afford.. 500GB SSD are now around $270 here.. you don't need the best.. buy the samsung 840 evo. It might not last as long as the more expensive pro series but that does mean much for a 2008 laptop. You are stretching it already.
I have a 256GB SSD in a 2011 MBP 15" with a high res screen I got on ebay cheap. It is a great machine.. or was until i put Mavericks on it.. I will take it back to Mountain Lion when I get a chance. I run an i7 mini also 2011 with the small video card they had..
I got it cheap from ebay.. of course.. It has a 256GB sandisk drive.
Media Name: SanDisk SDSSDH2256G Media
I just got another one of these with the original 750GB hard disk and it feels so so slow.. you end up totally spoiled.. everything opens and closes instantly in the mini with SSD and the other one is so so slow. It is getting the new 500GB SSD.
I have done a few of these now for friends.. it does end up costing more than a current model mini.. but other than missing USB3 which is a pity.. they are a great little computer. And with SSD only near totally silent.. it occasionally spins the fan up if it has been running hard for a while. I am getting old and grumpy and noisy rattling computer fans are more than I can stand.
I have done some research into the Seagate SSHD and it seems that it isn't ideal for people looking to crunch larger files which would probably be me
Yes, I warned you the SSHD is not much good for very large files.. Even so a modern 7200rpm drive should work a lot better.
Note the DVD drive will be sata 1 so yes the SSD should replace the current hdd.

Wireless solution advice needed.pls.

hi there,
I have a macbook pro, c2d..and my question is as fallows.
For one, i am unclear about this upgrade for the macbook pros for the network cards, if someone could clearify that would be great.
I live in a building where internet is provided, i dont have access to the router. I do on the other hand have a pc desktop, and my question is; can i buy a wireless router and run that from my desktop (eventough there is already another router in the building), and if so, should i get the new ones offerd from apple....and upgrade that 'thing' in my MBP?
Any and all suggestions would be great!
macbookpro C2D 15 inch, 2gig ram, 256 vidcard. Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Tristan, the answer to my question is on your PC, you don't need access to the building's router. If you check the network settings on your PC you have basically two ways of setting it up. You can set it up with a fixed IP address provided to you by the people of the building or your you can set it up to receive an IP address automatically, what is referred to as DHCP.
Those same settings are what you would use when you set up your wireless router as it will take the place of the PC. Then you will connect the PC to the router in which case you will set it up to receive an IP address automatically, it will get it from the new wireless router. The Mac will be set up similarly to use DHCP and get its address from the wireless router.
Like I said, you can buy any brand wireless router you want, they all follow the same standards that allow them to connect to 802.11b/g devices that the Mac can connect to. It is just that your newer MacBook Pro can use a new standard (802.11n) which is a higher speed and more reliable then the previous standards but the new standard has not been ratified yet. There is no guarantee that the MacBook Pro will be able to use this new standard with these other routers (it will fall back to the previous 802.11b/g if it can't.) I can guarantee it does work with the new Apple router as I have one working now. Your desktop PC will work with it also but since it will be directly connected using ethernet this is a non issue.

Hi,
I had lots of photos on my iPhone which I transferred to my PC a while back but somehow I have managed to delete the photos on both my iPhone and PC and I have since taken lots more photos which I cannot afford to lose.
I have an old iPhone backup on my PC which I assume will contain all my old photos and a very recent iCloud backup with all my new photos in it.
Any tips on the best way to get my old photos back whilst keeping my new ones?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
     In my ALV report i need to display some data on top of page depending on the selection criterian. everything is working fine, but there is one field which has four check boxes. I need to display these (checked) checkboxes description on top of page. for example, if first and second checked only those two shld be displayed. if first and last only those two and if all are checked, all check boxes description should be displayed on top of page. Any easy way to acheive this..pls helpme....
        Thanks
        Ram.

Hi Santhosh,
Is that field (with 4 check boxes) belonging to selection screen or ALV?
If it is from selection screen then we have to follow Bujji's suggestion.
we need to check whether first check box is checked or not if it is yes display its description using event print_top_of_page of cl_gui_alv_grid..
same for remaining three check boxes.
here combination check is not necessary i think.U r saying that individual description of check boxes has to display.right.
Hope this will helpful.

Hi
That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
Hope that helps
Paul
PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

Advice Needed - Sports Highlight Video - How to Combine Projects?

I am trying to create a Soccer Highlight Video of my daughter. The purpose is to be able to showcase her skills in a video and hopefully generate interest from collegiate coaches. I have recorded video of multiple games which are each about 80 minutes long. I am guessing I average about roughly 2 minutes of submittable footage from each game. Once the final video is complete, it will be posted on you tube and the link will be sent out to the appropriate college coaches.
I am currently working with each game separately as an individual project. Once I have all the games editted, I would like to combine all of these individual game projects into one big project. Once combined, I will then want to cut out a good portion of the game clips and just keep the really good stuff for the final product.
My biggest question is in regard to bringing each small project together for the final project. Can I "publish" each project and then import the "published" product into Permier Elements 11? Is there an easy method?
Any advice on how to easily do this would be very much appreciated.
(I am using Premier Elements 11 (trial version) and AVCHD video files taken with a standard video camera. If I can get this figured out I will definitly be purchasing the software.)

The smartest way to work would be to set the Work Area Bar in each project so that you only output the segments of your videos you're going to use in your compilation. This will save you a lot of editing later as well as save you having to work with big, whopping files that you're only using short segments from.
The best way to do this depends on how you're going to publish your finished video. Is it going onto a DVD? BluRay? YouTube or other online site? Video for a portable device, like an iPad?
Each has its own best workflow.

I can not get Firefox to play music backgrounds on pages in browsers it works in IE and other browsers but not firefox, what HTML or Jave script do I need too use to make them work?

I'm having a problem with firefox playing background music on some sites, it works with IE and other browsers but not with fire fox, what html or java script do I need to add to the pages so that they play the music?
I develop my pages in Front Page and I know that the music only works in IE, so if someone can tell me how to correct this problem as it is important as I use fire fox as my main browser.
I thank you in advance

If a website uses BGSOUND then it will only work in IE.
BGSOUND is not compatible with other browsers like Firefox.

Converting external link as2 script to as3

Hello.
I used this script I found online to make a Flash file that accessed an external text file full of hyperlinks through buttons in the Flash movie. The code is as2. I had to update the Flash file to AS3 and now the script doesn't work. I can't figure out how to do the same thing that this script does in AS3. Can anyone help me?
Here is the AS2 script:

I know how to make AS3 button work, I just don't know the code so that when I click the button, it accesses the external file and goes to the hyperlink specified by the button.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Ned.
I have officially lost the rest of what's left of my hair over this.
Here is the code I am using now. For whatever reason the variable
buttonlink1 I have set up is not being recognized:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
            trace(e.target.data);
var buttonlink1;
buttonlink1 = this.BlackBooklink;
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("LeftHouseLinks.txt"));
BlackBook.addEventListener ( MouseEvent.CLICK, myBlackBookHandler )
function myBlackBookHandler( evt ){
            navigateToURL(new URLRequest(buttonlink1), "_self");
This is the resulting error message and below that is the text of the
external text file which is loading into Flash:
Any ideas? Thanks.

Advice needed on buying iphone as gift

I went to apple store, they do not want to sell iphone to me unless I sign AT&T 2 years plan. I thought AT&T has locked the phone and users must subscribe in order to use it. Why Apple store still not allow me to buy?
Please advice, if I want to buy online iphone for my brother, do I or my brother have obligation to sign out AT&T plan?
One more advice needed, I found the shipment takes weeks, do I have option to arrange for self-collection?
My brother birthday is coming soon, I need above advice urgently.
Thank you very much

I'm guessing English is not your first language. It's possible that you misunderstood them. Apple Store employees won't refuse to sell you an iPhone and you don't have to sign up for service in the store.
Well that's not entirely true.
Apple Stores have been instructed not to sell you an iPhone if any of the following is true:
You state that you will not be signing up with AT&T.
You do not have an ID from a US state, also indicating you will not be activating with AT&T
You do not have a credit card
For example, I've seen US Apple Store managers refuse to sell iPhones to European residents because of the AT&T lock-in.

Video intensive work on Mac Pro? Advice Needed

Hi everyone,
I've been originally saving up for a while now for an iMac 24" as it offers the best specification price wise. But now I leaning on the Mac Pro and therefore need some advice.
I know that there are alot of posts on advice - need to buy mac etc. so therfore I would really appreciate if I am afforded some help.
I am mostly going to do ALOT of video encoding (via handbrake) and I am looking for the best configuration available to achieve lowest waiting time.

I think you should go back and look at the other threads with advice, your budget. There is "ideal" and "affordable."
Will it pay for itself in 24 months so you can afford the next revision at that time?
Start with an 8-Core 3GHz.
Add a Port Multiplier controller and two drive cases, 5 drives each, nearly 400MB/sec RAID.
Throw in 8GB RAM.
Add in costs for software upgrades, two sets of backups, four internal 500GB drives.
Seagate has 750GB, as does WD. Hitachi has their $450 1000GB monster.
Give yourself time to build, test, and optimize your setup, and expect to change it over time as you learn more.
Can't afford that? then trim the 8-core. But Apple has shown how efficient next generation applications already are for video when it comes to 3GHz 8-core Mac Pro.

Had to have a rebuild of my laptop....advice needed!

Had to have a rebuild of my laptop....have now lost all my music from my itunes, but I can't transfer back on from my ipod. Also had to register my laptop (same) as another computers, so now no music showing as purchased, though I have. Also have hours of uploaded music from my own purchased, legitimate CDs, but won't transfer from ipod...it says it will erase. So very frustrated....thanks mr technician! PLEASE ....help, advice needed!

I believe that if you do a clean reinstall from your HD's recovery sector (D) or Recovery disks, the hard drive sector C is wiped clean. Everything goes, apps, data, address books, music, pix, viruses
Is that what you did?

It is easy to create a template for a collage like you show and populate it with your images with a script. However there are some limitations in Photoshop that may impose limitation on you. It may also be hard to support some thing and make it easy to create templates. Something like rotating image and perspective placement most likely can only be done by using complex templates that are hard to create and the scripts would need to replace smart object layers embedded object contents with image that are the same size as the current embedded object. I chose to make it easy to make templates and not support rotation and perspective with automation. You can still create template like you show, but images will be place in without rotation and perspective. However images will be placed image layers in the populated collage that you can change its transform manually to add rotation and perspective. You can even create a batch if these collages and add the rotation and perspective later. View Screen Capture in new browser tab or window so you can scale to actual pixels this site scales uploaded image poorly.
