Fix the Gradient Widget, please

The Gradient Widget is often atrocious to work with. I'm glad it's there and it's a step in the right direction but it's not intuitive and slows me down nearly everytime I use it.
I'd like to be able to grab both ends (not just the one on the right) and move both endpoints wherever I like. Using it the way it is now is like ... kinda like writing with your left hand when you're right handed.
When you rotate it it suddenly jumps to a new position. I might be using part of my drawing as a guide that I've run the widget along. When I rotate it I often need to reposition it.

I thought I might be clearer. When I said "select both ends" I didn't mean at the same time.
What I meant was, I'd like to be able to move either end anywhere I like, as you would with a single straight line segment and the Direct Selection Tool.
That would be sweet.

during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
@TJBUSMC1973-
I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

How come my external hard drive is no longer visible in finder even after ticking it in preferences? it shows in the disk utilities but does not allow me to find a problem or fix the problem? Please help.

it shows in the disk utilities but does not allow me to find a problem or fix the problem? Please help. also my external hard drive is a seagate free agent go, 500GB. it is visible on my tv but has no files in it… i'm scared i've lost everything?

Honestly i cannot remember sorry, i got it like 5 maybe 6 yrs ago and just started downloading things to it as the memory on the computer started filling up and when i wanted to see photos/videos on my TV.
My wife did tell me after i had written this post that she did try and record TV to it as it was plugged in. I think by doing so somehow has deleted everything. It reads on my TV yet has no files in it but won't show up on my computer. hope this helps.
Starting to think it is going to cost more to retrieve files on it than it will be to buy a newer and larger one.

OS 3.1.2 Update didn't fix the "updating library, please wait a few minutes

I was hoping that the software update would fix the "Updating library, please wait a few minutes" screen that comes up when I try to play a song on my ipod touch after syncing. Is this bizarre "updating library" delay going to be a permanent feature of the ipod touch now? Could someone from Apple please clarify if you are trying to fix this, or is this just the way it is now?
If you (Apple) aren't going fix it, I hope you make it known in your marketing for the ipod touch that you can't listen to your songs immediately. If you don't disclose this, I sure hope the Zune touch people make a big deal out of it when promoting their mp3 player. I woudn't have bought an ipod touch if I had known I had to wait 2-10 minutes to listen to a song.

I suspect there's something else going on here... I'm having terrible trouble syncing films, and even tho they are clearly there, they don't seem to load in the list... I noticed that especially if I had dropped my network connection - the list would disappear (and this is on multiple touches)... It then starts to look very like my issues on Apple TV, where if it cannot verify the film back throught the network to the store, it deletes the content from your box... I suspect that each time it loads on the touch, it's doing some kind of 'legitimacy' verify, and that's what's causing the problem.... If I crash the sync just before the end, the re-index seems to work okay, but there is still that slight delay....

ATTENTION Oracle Support! Fix the download problem please!

There've been several complaints about problems with downloading Oracle 8i and 9i from this site. I can't download it either (Windows XP with IE6).
OTN please respond on the issue.

ORACLE SUPPORT:
Please just go to another PC somewhere else, maybe the next block and try downloading your own files!!!
You will be surprised to learn how difficult it is to just get a set of 9i installation zips that unzip without 1 CRC problem.
The downloads sets could be too big, so why not span them further or provide downloads for individual files!!!
Phew... I cannot but wonder what you people think at the world's number one database company. I reckon you are too comfortable working in the mighty corporation that you forget there are developers out there who face other daily work stress, and bad CRCs are just one more that they gladly love NOT to deal with.
PLEASE!!! FIX IT....
Don't forget, you're still number one!

I am getting an error report and not sure how to fix the script. Please help... 3

So now Im getting a new error report. I named the instance of the button in the properties panel btn_ccbil.
Here is the code I have now:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var url:String = 'http://www.lexiefyfe.com/ccbill9001/index.htm';
btn_ccbil.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onOrderClick);
function onOrderClick():void
      var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
      try {
            navigateToURL(request, '_blank');
      } catch (e:Error) {
            trace('An error occurred');
Here is the error report:
Scene=photogallery, layer=buttons, frame=1, Line 7 A type identifier is expected after the ':'.
Scene=photogallery, layer=buttons, frame=1, Line 9 The class or interface 'flash.net.URLRequest' could not be loaded.
This is the original code for the billing from ccbill I am trying to get to work with flash:
<A HREF="http://www.lexiefyfe.com/ccbill9001/index.htm"><img src="ccbutton.jpg"></A>
Is this just something that flash can't do? If so will someone please let me know. I am running in circles at this point and very frustrated... I'm new to as3 but I thought it could work.
Thank you to all for the help and consideration,
Thomas

You appear to be using AS3 code in an AS2 setting. Go into your Publish Settings and change the actionscript version to AS3 in the Flash section.
Other matters...
You do not need to import the URLRequest class while coding in the Flash IDE.
You need to put an argument in the function definition due to the listeners throwing one when it is triggered...
function onOrderClick(evt:MouseEvent):void

Thank you for any consideration,

You have a mixture of things going on... AS3 code in an AS2 setting. Those are all AS2 error messages, and they are indicating you have placed the code on the buttons. To use that code, it must be placed on the timeline, and your Flash Publish Settings need to have AS3 specified instead of AS2. AS3 does not allow code to be placed on objects like AS2 does.

I fainted and fell while holding my iPad and the screen cracked; it still works fine. It's just cracked. I have had this iPad for less than a year so it is still covered under warranties. Does this apply? If not how much to fix the screen?

How can I fix the time in my iphone5c

My iphone 5c time sets still, it loops back to the time of last reset. I have done different resets, and even taking it to the genius bar and they were not able to make my phone show the right time. they say it is a hardware issue, not software. Any ideas? it all started with wifi issues, then imessage until finally time issues. change the settings to manually, back to automatic and still didn´t fix the time. Please help.
I updated to the last IOS 8.1.3, done setting reset, content and setting reset, itunes restore/reset, applecare guided reset. change time manually and automatic. genius bar reset, and time issue has not been fixed.

You will get this warning, if your book includes textboxes that still include the default text, like "Insert Title". You need to find these boxes and add your own text. Look for boxes like this:
Make a PDF-preview of your book and look, where the preview differs from what you are seeing in iPhoto.

Proposed Fix for the Gradient Problem (programmers please read)

I think I realised a solution for the problem.
The problem, as I see it:
a great number of the screens have brightness and/or colour distortion. It is more severe on some machines than others and some people are more sensitive to it than others.
A solution:
A simple background compensation utility. It would let the user manually calibrate the screen in red, green, and blue channels. the user would choose a channel and define multiple horizontal and vertical gradients over hot areas of the screen. That way we could calibrate our screens to the darkest spots in each colour channel. The screen would end up dimmer overall but at least it would be even -- and we could then compensate for much of the dimness by increasing the brightness slider (although few 'graphics people' run their screens at full brightness).
Since OS X has total control over every pixel displayed, this should be a simple, small application to write. It's just too bad that I'm not nearly smart enough to know where to begin!
Now, if some of you smart people reading this know how, please, please get to it cause I also don't want to return my Mac.
Cheers

No hard feelings. Just having some fun with ya. I have been following this issue on the before mentioned post for the last 2 days now and remember seeing this fix of yours along with a few other creative ideas as well. Glad it works for you but I don't think Apple should leave us to fix their problems with super glue, duck tape or what ever.

It's all good fun thanks for the link. I certainly agree that apple shouldn't leave us to devise our own workarounds for a potentially faulty product. Now that I have addressed and fixed the antenna issue I can say that I am completely satisfied with my iPhone 4. I don't plan on putting a case on it but I think I'll spend another $29 on front and rear shields so that I can at least set it down without fear of scratching it. Thanks

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

Hi,
I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and when I try to use Siri it loads and loads and then says, "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."
I rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I just got my iPhone 4s (unlocked right from Apple) several weeks ago.

Siri has been a bit more erratic than usual in the last week or so. Apple has announced a major announcement for 9/12. Conclusions are left to the reader.
Best of luck.

I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone.

Fix the Gradient Widget, please
