FAQ: How do I make a hand cursor display on rollover or mouse over?

You can make a component in your application, for example a button or custom component, display a pointing finger cursor when a user's mouse rolls over it. Select the component, and in the Appearance section of the Properties panel, check Hand cursor.
Read the quick tip on FlashCats.

Hi there
Another approach is to use a Rollover Caption. Just remove any text and configure the caption as transparent. Then layer the Rollover area over the part where you want the hand to change to a cursor. The net effect will be that the cursor change will occur. Clicking will then result in triggering the underlying Submit button, which appers to be invisible and layered over an image.

How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s?

How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s? I have a bluetooth car device and when I try to talk through it (as I did with my old phone) to call someone it does not work. so far only hte last person called is redialed.

That is a carrier-based service. So first you have to make sure your service contract includes that feature.
It usually also includes Call Hold. So you call the first party, put them on hold, call the second, then reactivate the first. But only if your carrier allows you to.

How can I make that the cursor of a table ...

Hello,
how can I make that the cursor of a table (on the frontpanel) go to the starting position? I have placed a table that give back the number of the row if I doubleclick a row on the frontpanel, but when I restart the vi the cursor of the table is on this position. If I have many informations in the table and after restarting there are just one or two, I can`t see this information without scrolling to the top of the table. I want that the cursor (that I see) is at the first row. How can I make it?
thankyou

How can I make a gray box or gray screen in Pages over a few lines of text?

Thanks. Almost what I was looking for.
While that makes for a gray over the lines, it still does not form a box.
Any other suggestions to form a solid rectangular gray box?

How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

I'm wondering the same thing.
Under Lion, my calendars' color coding is next to useless because they're suddenly so muted.
Previously I could easily pick out which events belonged to which calendar without effort. Now, all the colors are so light as to be nearly indisinguishable; I must toggle calendars off and on to highlight a calendar's events.

How can I make one list of all events I have in over 30 libraries I made

How can I make one list of all events I have in over 30 libraries I made?

The only way I know of is to take a screenshot of the Photo mode with the View ➙ Show Event Titles selected. That will give you a list of sorts. Might take more than one screenshot per library.

How can I make my flash Webpage displayed same size on any screen resolution?

Hi,
How can I make my flash Webpage displayed same size on any screen resolution of my computer? Whether it is 1024 X 768 or 1280 X 960 screen resolution, the size of Webpage (Flash Webpage) should always be same so that user don't need to use horizantal scroll bar to view all the content.
And secondly, how can I scroll my webpage vertical on moving with my mouse like in the following link: The below link also shows that it's webpage size is always same on any screen resolution.

How do you make an X cursor?

I googled a lot, and all I can find are sites that have guides to make big X cursors, or involves the use of strange/outdated programs. (Which doesn't help.) I tried ubuntu and gentoo wiki and neither of them were very helpful. I have made a set of animated cursors a long time ago, but I completely forgot how to, and I can't seem to find the guide I used.
Does anyone know how to make a cursor? Okay, I know Linux doesn't use "cursor files", but if I have a set of images I drew that I want to use as cursors, what would I do? Where does it go? What is the syntax for editing the configuration files? Lucky I don't want to make an animated cursor so it might be a little easier.
I'd prefer it if it doesn't require the use of strange programs. I remember I was able to do it all by the commandline when I did it.

Snowman wrote:
Install them in a directory in /usr/share/icons and add in your ~/.Xdefaults :
Xcursor.theme: redglass
Xcursor.size: 16
Just replace redglass by the directory where you placed your cursors (redglass is one of the theme from xcursor-themes).
That would work if I had cursors. I just have hand drawn pngs. How would I arrange them to be cursors. Obviously putting a few pictures in a folder wouldn't work.
I could try copying the syntax of the cursors already there. I'll do that when I get the chance to go on my other computer. This computer actually runs debian, but my other computer is my main, running Arch. I want my cursors on both of them. I don't think there is too much of a difference per distro, but debian doesn't have any cursors in /usr/share/icons for some reason.

How do I show a hand cursor for a text entry box button

I'm using Captivate 5 and have run into an annoying problem...
For a general click box, there is an option for "Show hand cursor over hit area" which will result in the cursor changing to a hand when rolling over the click box region in the published presentation. I want to do the same for the 'submit' button in the text entry box. Is this even possible? I'm hoping to keep things consistent as a user is clicking through the presentation.
I find it odd that it doesn't have the same property as found on the clickbox considering it has the same purpose. I'm using a background screenshot image to simulate an entry in an application, so I'm actualy hiding the submit button, but the button I want them to press lacks the hand cursor that would indicate it is clickable. I don't want to use a click box to allow the user to move on because I still want a failure in the text entry box to prevent the user from moving on.
Hope that all makes sense.

FAQ: How do I make fire, fog, smoke, or explosions?

How do I make fire, fog, smoke, or explosions?
Yes, I know that I should seriously consider shooting real fire, fog, or smoke (though maybe not explosions) myself, because the real thing is often so much better and easier than simulations. And, even easier, I could use stock footage like that from Detonation FIlms.
But what if I really want to make fire, fog, smoke, or explosions within After Effects?

There are some links to a few good resources about making and compositing fire, explosions, smoke, fog, and muzzle flashes in After Effects Help.
There are many other good resources here: "Fire in After Effects"
See also "Muzzle flashes and gun fire in After Effects," compiled by Rich Young at Pro Video Coalition.

How can I make multi-colored links change their rollover or hover color?

I have made links with seperate colors using css, but the links with new colors have no hover property. I want these links to change color when the cursor hovers over them the same way the other links on my page do. I have tried making a new css rule for <hover> and tried writing the property into the css code but to no effect. I have searched the web and this forum for an answer and found notheing that works. Does anyone know how to give links with multiple colors a hover property that will make them change color? All of my other links change color as defined in the page properties, but the links with new color rules don't change color anymore. This is probably pretty basic. I'm new to DW, using CS6. If anyone can provide a step by step and show where the code should be inserted, this would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!

How can I make sure the Presenter Display will show up?

I use the option "use alternate display to view presenter information", and it works fine with my secondary display at home. The presenter information (Presenter Display) with my notes etc. shows up.
But when I gave a practice talk at my university, the Presenter Display did not show up, although all settings were the same. Back at home with my own secondary display, it works fine again.
How can I make sure that the Presenter Display will always show up on the secondary display?

I have a similar problem. Last year I gave a presention at a client's office using my Macbook. I had the presenter display on my Macbook screen and the presentation on their projector.
A few months ago I upgraded to the latest Macbook Pro 15" (plus there have been upgrades to OS X and Keynote in that time). This time when I tried to run the same set-up my MBP screen went blank. I tried changing settings for Keynote and System prefs with no success. The only way I cuould give the presentation without needing to look at the projector screen was to mirro the displays (and lose the Notes of course). Maybe there is a bug with the latest Keynote?

How can i make a connection between an application and a database over net

dear sir
how can i make connection between an appliction and a database over internet while the client side appliction is behind proxy and firewall
for example how the live update of norton antivirus makes connection to the data server to make comparetions and get new virus definitions
does that depend on sockets technology ?
what references can guide me to the solution please?

The ability to do so depends entirely on the JDBC driver implementation having some proxy method. It needs to recognize the HTTP or SOCKS proxy and use them to connect, and the firewall and proxy need to allow those specific port connections.
To the best of my knowledge, all of these update utilities, e.g. live update for Netscape, Norton, etc., do not connect directly to the database. As it is, no sane security person would allow a database to be exposed to the Net. Rather, they connect using HTTP or HTTPS, which normally traverses firewalls just fine, to connect to a Web or application server on the far end. That application server then parses the request and retrieves whatever it needs to from the database.
In other words, you cannot have a 2-tier client/server application. You need a 3-tier application:
your client -> Web/app server -> database
where the connection from your client to the Web/app server is over http or https through the firewall and proxies.
Hope this helps.

How do I make a video on one track expand in size over a video on a second track? Elements 11

How do I make one a video on one track expand in size over a video on a second track?
Thanks.

Sminty
Thanks for the follow up with additional very helpful information.
What you need to do is to keyframe the Motion Scale property so that it changes over the duration of the whole photo
rather than Scale being applied to the whole photo uniformly.
Two ways you could do the keyframing of Scale..
a. from the Timeline
or
b. from Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded and its Scale Property there, using Toggle Animation to initiate the process.
For now, I will describe "b"
Your scaled down image on Video Track 2
Your regular image on Video Track 1
Your Timeline Indicator at the beginning of the Timeline.
Select/Highlight the image on Video Track 2, go to Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel Expanded and its Scale Property
That area should look like
You get an abbreviated version of the above screenshot if you do not hit the Show/Hide Keyframe Controls icon. With it opened, you will see the actual keyframes being placed.
With your Timeline Indicator at the beginning of the Timeline and Video Track 2 Image selected, click on the Toggle Animation Icon. That will set the Scale property keyframes
which at that time will be at a value less than 100% because you are starting with a scaled down Video Track 2 Image.
Then move the Timeline Indicator to the last frame of the clip. Then move the Scale slider to 100% or whatever % gives you Video Track 2 Image just to full frame so
that you do not see the Video Track 1 image. Render the Timeline by pressing of the Enter key of the computer main keyboard or pressing the Render button above
the Timeline.
All sorts of things can be done by keyframing a property. The property could be other than Scale (some examples might be Position, Opacity, certain effects applied
to Timeline content, etc.)
Please review and consider and then let us know if that worked for you. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification if needed.
Thank you.
