Flash question...not sure which section to post in...please help the n00b...

Background: I am a designer (Illustrator/Photoshop) being thrust into the position of creating e-learning materials. I have managed to teach myself the infinitely irritating P.O.S. (piece of software) called Captivate, but am still pretty much useless in Flash.
I have a project that a former designer created a year or two back. It appears to have been done wholly in Flash, though Captivate may have been involved (not sure why it would have, but I don't know enough about what I'm looking at to be sure). She is no longer with the company, so I can't ask her directly, but I am hoping someone can help me here. The project is essentially Jeopardy, as in the game show. The design is such that it is a static screen (identical to the Jeopardy screen), wherein a user mouse-clicks a value in a category (e.g. Forms for 200), and a window (not an actual browser window, but a flash element) opens over top of the main screen, displaying the question and giving a list of selectable answers (typically multiple choice). Correct and incorrect answers are added or subtracted from the score at bottom. It seems relatively straight-forward (and I'd be happy to post all materials here if that would help anyone answer my question). What I need to do is change these categories/questions to update this material to make it concurrent with a new training course. I am hoping I can do this with the materials I have at hand from the previous designer- ideally, update the text file (I think I can follow the formatting to understand how to update questions/answers/correct answers/etc) and then "plug it in" to this framework...but I don't know. I'm at a loss.
The outputted Flash file (of no functional use to me, I believe) (.swf)
The Flash file that contains the framework (this has all "0000" for scores, "Heading" for headings...aka nothing is populated in this framework) (.fla)
The outputted html file
A .txt file containing all questions, headings, and values that would populate the framework (example below)
"&heading1=Banner Forms&
&heading2=Tricks of the Trade&
&heading3=Banner Speak&
&heading4=Surprise!&
&points1=1000&
&points2=2000&
&points3=3000&
&points4=4000&
&points5=5000&
&question1_1=What form do you use to view a Registrar hold?&
&answer1_1A=TSIAUTH&
&answer1_1B=SOAHOLD&
&answer1_1C=SGASTDN&
&answer1_1D=SHADEGR&
&correctAnswer1_1=B&"
It seems that this text file would be imported into the open framework in Flash, but I do not know the first thing about doing any of this. I will eventually be taking some Flash courses, but this project has a much tighter deadline than that.
Can anyone give me any insight into how to proceed? Please let me know if I should upload these files to link here, if it will help anyone to figure out how this works.
I apologize for what I imagine is a horribly simple question, but I am truly blind with regards to this material.
Admins, I apologize if this is not posted in the correct area.
Thanks ahead of time for any possible help.

NEAT!
Hey guy, I got your answer for you. Or should I say hey "IDIOTA".
You see, that text file is read by the HTML when you access it. As in, there is no "importing" to be done. Simply update the text file as necessary to reflect the categories/questions/answers/correct answers, save changes, and that is that! Provided that you keep the text file in the same directory as the .fla and the html (which you obviously MUST do, or else the Jeopardy screen will show all blanks), you will be good to go! All eagles! All aces! Whatever the phrase is.
Anyway, hope this helps, chump. Any other dumb questions?

as 8 doesnt divide into 3 so you have to have 8 left
also what is the possible results of (n & 5) were n is an integer variable well im thinking the only possible solutions are
1 & 5 = 0
2 & 5 = 3
3 % 5 = 2
4 & 5 = 1
5 & 5 = 0
6 & 5 = 6

Flashing question mark folder on macbook pro startup. PLEASE HELP

I have a MacBook Pro which I think is a 2011 version. When I startup the computer it comes up with the flashing question mark folder. I can't start it up via disc as I do not have the disc that came with the mac :( .

Di you try restarting and booting whilst holding down the command and R keys? Or even the command, option and R keys (assuming that you've a 2011 model)?
Some 2011 models came with discs as they shipped with Snow Leopard. Those that shipped with Lion had no discs. If your machine originally shipped with Snow Leopard, you can call Apple, with the serial number of your MBP handy, and order a set of model-specific discs (cost is, I believe, around $25 with taxes and shipping).
Please 'call back' and let us know if you've tried booting either to your Recovery partition or to Internet Recovery.

Shipping question, not sure which dicussion folder to use

Hi,
i am currently in Korea, and am looking to get a new mac notebook.. however, the prices here are more expensive than at home in north america... i have found some great deals on mac refurbished computers from their website and am really interested in buying one... however, i have virtually NO way to get it to me in korea because they don't ship internationally.
i know apple is a huge company, and isn't likely to make exceptions for one person... but i have recently been convinced to buy a mac (have always used pc's), and am really excited to get started! i don't want to have to wait for another year until i am back in north america!
is there anyone out there who knows ANY way to get a mac that's located in the states to me in korea? any way they can ship it to a mac store in seoul and i pick it up? anything!??
thanks for any advice!

Apple can't possibly do this. It is against trade laws. The only way you could get a new American mac in Korea is if someone sent it to you as a gift, and then, you really should be first checking what the law is in korea regarding receiving such gifts by mail. That may very well be illegal too. I depends on what country you are sending the gift to.
Think about it...if everyone in Korea could buy a computer in the US without paying import tax, that would really upset the Korean government.

I'm not sure how to explain this but PLEASE HELP! ...

okay so I'm not quite sure if anyone is going to understand what I'm talking about...
But for some reason when someone adds me to skype (sends me a request) it says "Hi, White Asian!... so and so wants to add you.. blahblah etc." It says something other than my current user name, or my current display name, or my first and last name. I have know idea why it says this. I've had skype for a long time now and several years ago I believe that I changed my display name to "White Asian" as a joke. It hasn't been that for a long time now and I have no idea why it shows up like that when someone sends me a request on skype. I've tried changing every possible thing to do with a name in the profile/user settings to no avail. THe only time it shows up (that I'm aware of) is when someone adds me.
So if you have any idea how I can fix this or why it's happening please let me know immediately!
Its driving me mad because I don't know how to fix this!
Thanks!

I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

The delete key does a backward delete because it is the natural way to delete while typing. May not be to you and the millions of youngsters who grew up with windows computers. When you are typing and want to delete that which you just typed you are already at the end and you delete back to where you want to re-type. When you go back to a document and want to delete a selection, you have to go to the end of the selection instead of the beginning. it's just the way its always been done on macs. it takes some getting use to.
If you select text to be deleted with your mouse then the delete key deletes the selected text. same for either delete key method.
It is not convenient when you tab to fields in a form. That why fn-delete does a forward delete.
Macs have a couple of keyboards. The small "wireless keyboard" only has the (backward) delete (fn-delete forward). The larger "Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" has both a Delete (backwards) key beside the = abd it has the "delete >" key in the groups with fn, home, end, Pg up and Pg dn. This keyboard is best for users who have switched from windows or are familiar with the windows forward delete.

Not sure which way to go for transfer.....

First; let me say that I did search for the answer to this, but I'm not sure which way to go with a lot of the answers. I'm sorry I'm asking this question for the umpteenth time. Yes; I'm one of those that understands enough about computers to make me dangerous...
Our computers are set up on a home network. Before I got my iPod last year, we ripped all our CDs and saved them on a completely separate external drive named "M" (for music), so all 3 computers could have access to the information on the M drive.
I get my pod & have the office computer set up to be the 'main' iTunes location, since we purchased a USB2 hub for it. I quickly learned how to direct iTunes to 'pull' the music from the M file & understand how all that works. Life is good. I even took the time to put an album art file on the M drive & insterted everything into iTunes by 'hand'.
Bless my hubby's heart. Completely filled with computer envy, he just purchased me a brand spanking new shiney computer. Needless to say, with all these new bells and whistles, I can now use my computer as the 'home base' for all things iPod/iTunes instead of having to go downstairs to do updates, etc.
I looked up & printed out "How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer" from the Apple web site, which basically says to download everything onto my iPod's harddrive & do the transfer on the new machine.
I think what I'm trying to ask, is since all the music is located on an external drive:
When I download iTunes to iPod harddrive, are all the tags still in place? Will all the album art be correct, so when I download it onto the new computer, everything will be identical to what's on the old computer?
--or--
Is there another trick I can do to have everthing the same on the new computer?
--or--
Am I better off just having my computer go to the M drive & upload all the music onto my new computer & reload all the album art by hand again?
My real hesitation on this method is I have a lot of things on the M drive that I changed the tags on in iTunes, & I would really hate to go & search through everything again & redo what tags I can find wrong.
I know that this may sound like a lot of trivial questions, but with over 6,000 tracks, I'd really like the process to go as smoothly as possible.
And once again; I'm sorry if this seems like just another 'how do I transfer' question. As I was reading the search results, I didn't notice anything that dealt with external drives being involved & I don't know if any of that makes a differance or not in all of this.
Thank you SO MUCH for your time!!

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

My Macbook air flash had gone for a month and I saw Apple's Macbook air flash storage drive replacement program. I'm not sure whether that program is still available for the broken device or not. Now, I'm booting from the external hard drive. Thank you.

My Macbook air flash had gone for a month and I saw Apple's Macbook air flash storage drive replacement program. I'm not sure whether that program is still available for the broken device or not. Now, I'm booting from the external hard drive. Warranty has gone in October 2013..
I want to send back my macbook air back to apple store. The problem is that I bought it from US and now, I'm using it in Myanmar. If the program is free of charge for my device, it's worth trying to send back to US. Since mine is broken, I'm afraid Apple will take charges for reparing.
So, if anyone having the same problem as me, I would like to get suggestion....
Thank you!!

I have no idea about how to handle the international aspect of your question.
But here is the Apple writeup about the problem and the remedy. Maybe that will help you.

Not sure which direction I should be heading

I'm going to drop a lot of money on equipment sometime during the next six months, and I'm really not sure which direction I should take this. As I see it I could either go with everything hardware, or I could go with Mainstage. Basically, what I want is to get the sound of me and my keyboardist up to snuff, as it's currently not that great.
What I'm thinking of getting for now:
Hardware route:
Nord Electro 73
a magically great guitarfx
Software route:
Mainstage
M-Audio Profire 2626
Midi foot controller
Macbook Pro 3,06GHz 4GB RAM
As you can see, the Mainstage route will be more expensive. At the same time it will offer more flexibility, and the ability for more bandmates to join in in the future.
Keyboardist will use the following sounds:
- Piano
- Rhodes w/ effects
- B3
- Clavinet
- Solina
- Strings
- (Maybe some C64 SID-sounds)
I guess that's it for now.
Guitarist (me) will use:
- Overdrive
- Amp simulator
- Delay (I know this takes a lot of processing power, so only one or two delay-fx simultaneously.)
- Other, typical guitar-fx.
If I go hardware I'll go with a multi-fx, but I have yet to find any that will let me tap the tempo on one patch and then keep that tempo when I go to the next patch, so they get kind of limited.
We will both be playing at the same time, and latency is important. I want to use it at 16bit/44,1KHz, as I guess that's the lowest I can go. I want to be able to play with 32 sample buffer. At 64 samples the latency gets too long. I guess I could get used to it, but the day I try to run my bassist or other guitarist og lead vocals or backing vocals through Mainstage I don't want to have to excuse the latency.
Is it stable enough? I plan on using the computer as a Mainstage-only laptop, not installing anything except Mainstage and maybe a few plugins. It'll normally not be connected to the internet, with Airport turned off.
There's probably a lot of stuff I've forgot to mention, that I might think of later, but the main question is; which route would you go in my situation? Hardware or software?

Stability will be risky on mainstage. Some people have no problems, other have lots of cpu issues.
I've been running one keyboardist and a backingtrack loaded into exs24 and have had one problem during a show that required a reboot.
EXS24 stopped playing a backing track twice as well - which was pretty major.
I'll be using playback for backing tracks and will not be sending my guitar through the computer. We will also have a drummer playing now, so if the computer breaks, we'll lose keyboards and will be able to continue on and end a song.
I think it's an acceptable risk for the flexibility and cost savings - since I already had a laptop and all the midi gear. And I try to accept a bit of glitchyness as it's a new program. Hopefully that will be changing over the next few months - as this latest version seems more stable and updates should add to that.
If I were a major act playing large shows, *I would not be using it*. And if it continues to cause problems, we'll be looking for something else.
I used the logic environment for our last band. We had three keyboards for three separate people - that worked pretty much flawlessly.

HT1349 help I would like to authorize my new laptop for my itunes library I had 5 authorized computers on my account not sure which ones they were one of the autorized computers has crashed so i want to transfer all of my account history onto my compute
