Flash Questions And help

Okay, firstly I havent used flash in a while, and now, when i
come to use actions i cant get the option for suggestions of what
can actually be used. Eg im typing goto and it would give me a list
of options like gotoAndPlay and AndStop, now its not doing that so
is there anyway to turn that back on. Secondly, I'm trying to make
a wobbly head nodder. I've tried to make it as a button, with
movies in the up over and down state. the up and over state works
perfectly. However when i click down and hold, the wobbly head
should get pulled back and stay in a fixed location... but it
doesnt, it just goes back to playing the over state, but in the
loaction of where the head has been pulled to. Then my final
problem is that when its there, i want it to boing back as the
mouse button is released... and i just dont no how, any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi Landice,
Welcome to the forums!
One problem that you might face is that Flash can load and
render external SWFs but not (complete) HTML pages.
If the contents of the HTML page is simply an SWF, then you
can modify your code to allow Flash to load the SWF instead of
opening a new window. That is, change the XML code to reflect the
location of the SWF, not the HTML file. Then, in Flash, make use of
the loadMovieNum, loadClip, or loadMovie methods to either load the
SWF to a _level or a MovieClip.
Otherwise, you may have to rethink your set-up.
I imagine that this gallery page is mainly comprised of
images? If so, it might be better to represent the gallery page as
another XML page with the URLs of images specific to that gallery.
And then just as your 3D carousel loads in XML, you could load in
the XML for a particular gallery and then load in each image using
the loadMovie or loadClip methods.

Moving images/catalogue from daughter to main catalog - Question and help requested on flow

All,
I have been using LR since 1.0 and now on 2.5 on a PC (Vista & Windows 7)
My picture management work-flow
I pull-in photos onto laptop which has a small catalog of 2009 images and usually only 6000 in (Nefs D300/D70) (Daughter catalog)
On laptop I keyword etc and prepare photos.
Once my hard drive (250GB) gets about 2/3 full I move 10-20 folders (I store images by shooting date) to a "master" hard drive (1TB) using the freeware "Syncback".
I back up catalog at this point.
Also moving the images to the 1TB means those photos are now going into my Main catalog, and I export the catalog of images that I transfered above and import that intot he main catalog that sort of works
Now question(s) come(s)
I lose in the 2009 catalog the link to the images once they have been moved by sync back to the 1TB driveand have to manually reconnect within lightroom.
I am sure there is a better way yo do this, is there and can anyone help me -
Can I drag and drop in the library mode in the "folder LH view" the images from the local (c) drive to the 1TB drive. I haven't tried this (I'm a coward)
If I eschew the use of Sync back and then export the catalog and images from the Daughter catalog, how can I make sure when I import them into the Main catalog that the images are stored on the 1TB drive correctly (Images/yyyy-mm-dd)?
Is this handled through the image import dialog when moving the exported catalog into the Main one ?
I hope this is understandable, as I say I have been a little timid with these steps
Many many thanks in advance for help and pointers
Simon Leppard

When you import a catalog, the Import Dialog will come up. Click copy to new location and Import. Lightroom will import using the existing folder structure as is.

Grey screen flashing question and apple logo

My power mac G4 wont boot passed a grey screen flashing apple logo and question mark. Have tried every option that the support can give you. still nothing. tried the apple hardware test and doesnt seem to be effecting it at all??? What should i do?

If you hold the Option/alt key at bootup, what shows as boot choives?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Or does it not show at all?
Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

No aim in my ichat (a newbie questions and help)

I am relatively new to ichat as I have never needed it use it untill the girlfriend took a job on a cruise line. With that I bought my imac g5 about 3 years ago and never messed with ichat. Now that I wanted to start using it I started with the apple ichat 101 guide. I created an aim account, made sure it works (at least I think it does as I have no buddies on it yet), then started up ichat. In the first time tutorial it says a start up screen will appear to register your .mac or aim account. When I started ichat, this initial setup screen didnt pop up. It just opened the program and aim runs in the background. I then go into prefferences and accounts under the file menu and the only thing listed is bonjour. I cant seem to figure out how to change it to the aim account. I believe I am running ichat 2.1 (what ever came with the first gen imac) and downloaded the latest version (4.7) of aim yesterday. Could this be a problem? I am also using a wirless router, but my internet seems to work. I see that there are lots of posts about router settings on this board for aim accounts, but dont know if thats an issue either. Forgive my ignorance as I am also typing this on my windows computer at work and am not sure exactly which version of ichat I have installed on the computer at home. Anyhelp would be gratly appreciated as I am new to the ichat world. Recommendations on a camera would also b helpful since my computer does not have isight and am looking for a cam. Thanks in advance

Go back to ichats prefs/accounts and at the bottom you will see a +, click on it and put your AIM account details in.

BIOS flash question and Diskboot Failure

First time caller but long time listener...
I just recently built this box but I'm having a few issues at the moment. The mobo has bios v1.5 and I need to reflash it to recognize the second core prior to loading OS. Now I'd like to try the floppy method and I can't seem to be able to boot from a floppy tried bot the XP and win98 OEM bootdisk method but after posting all I get is:
Boot from CD :
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER...
So I tried changing the boot order to: Floppy, HDD, CDROM (and other variations like floppy, cd, HDD)
tried the following:
booting disabling all other bootable devices
disabling everything except floppy in boot order
changed out IDE connector
changed out 3.5drive
My question is should I just go ahead and load the OS and try liveupdate but I run it to the possiblility that I may need to reload the OS so it sees both cores.
Or...should I just try the boot CD method which sorta freaks me out with all the warnings that I see. I'm also completely unfamiliar with it. Is there any special process that I have to go through for a boot floppy to run?
not that this matters but I had to disable the onboard gigaLAN, b/c it was giving me errors.
thatnks much.

Is your floppy Disk controller enabled in bios? Does drive 'a' show 'none' on main bios page? If so, select your floppy drive.
Standard CMOS features shows DRIVE A: 1.44MB 3.5in

Try pressing F11 at POST and a one time menu of boot options will display; pick floppy.
Yeah, I tried that highlighte floppy and hit enter.

I normally use win98se boot disk but you say you have tried 2 boot disks. Google win98se and give that one a go.

Site Navigation Question and Help

Hoping there is a simple solution to this problem. I'm a designer, not programmer so I'm pretty clueless in that regard.
Here's what I'm attempting to do.
I've managed to create an animation in Edge Animate and everything works fine.
I imported that animation into Muse so that it plays on the Home Page. Everything works fine there as well.
I have a Nav Bar for the 4-5 other pages (as well as the Home Page) and everything functions well there also.
What I'd like to do is have the animation play to the end when the user opens the home page (which it does and it's very short) but when they return to the home page after visiting other pages, I would like the animation not to play, but return to the last still frame of the animation.
Hope this makes sense and I'm hoping that it's a simple fix.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I believe the only way that could be done is to add some javascript to your edge animate animation that would place a cookie on the users computer and have the animation to go to last frame if cookie exsists.
Other than creating a duplicate home page with just the last frame as a graphic in place of the animation and have all your internal homepage links link to that. However, it may not be a good idea for Search Engines to have duplicate content.

General Questions and HELP!

We have a website which currently uses frames. This website
is not an e-commerce and will not be an e-commerce site. This
website is heavy on showing product. If you would like to view the
site it is:
http://www.aaglobalind.com
Our site is hosted on ValueWeb. I would like to turn this
site into a dynamic site. From what I understand, which is not
much, I need to create a database of the products. What easy-to-use
application do you recommend for creating this database? What type
of database do you recommend? We use DreamWeaver 2004 MX. Is it
extremely difficult to inegrate the database into DreamWeaver 2004
MX? What resources or books do recommend? Any pointers, tips and
resources are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

ValueWeb is hosting that site with Apache. This means it's a
*nix server.
That suggests that PHP/MySQL would be a good choice for you.
> Is it extremely difficult to inegrate the database into
DreamWeaver
> 2004 MX?
No. But honestly, I recommend you a) upgrade to DW8, and b)
get a copy of
Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8, by David Powers. Everything
you need to
know is in there, including how to get PHP going with Apache
on your local
testing server, how to create the database in MySQL, and how
to access data
from the database and display it on your page. It would be
money well
spent.

On my Yahoo emails and certain websites I get an error message. I download and install Flash Player and I still get the error. How can I fix this? It's very annoying because I have to use IE instead.

When I use IE I don't have this problem. It's only with Firefox.

Update your Flash Player which is way out of date, even your newer one won't work well with Firefox and many security updates have occurred since..
* http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
The current Flash is Shockwave Flash 10.3.181.26 You have both Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19 and 10.0 r45 -- you will probably have to uninstall the 7.0 version through the control panel, do that first. Use the Adobe page to update as you are less likely to get crapware install suggestions from that page.
Afterwards run a plug-in update type in about:plugins into location bar and hit enter at the top of the list is a link for for plugins test which you should check out<br>
http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/
When installing updates, watch out for crapware installs, the checking and the updates are supplied by the plugin makers -- not by Mozilla.

You are on Windows 7, which means you've got decent hardware and software, you should be on Firefox 4. www.mozilla.com to get the latest version.
Next week Firefox 5 comes out, your toolbar changes changes to Fx4 will still work in Fx5. Then ...
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic

If you install "Adblock Plus" extension with a filter subscription such as "EasyList US" which you can subscribe to from the extensions options options once installed. That will eliminate many flash ads, and help somewhat with news sites which have a lot of Flash pages but possibly only the ads start automatically.

Mac book is starting up funny. I have a flashing folder and question mark or just a grey screen. IT at university is backed up all week and said it's the hard drive! Ugh need help in class now will be calling ASAP! Help please.

I get either a grey screen or a flashing folder question mark. IT at my university said it wouldn't be till after the weekend and than still a few days to get it fixed so she told me to try to back it up myself because that's the only sure fire way to ensure I get all my Info. So any hints or help? They did a hardware test and they think it's my hard drive. I did a r+command restart
And it won't let me verify the disk.... Or download mountain lion.. Okay I know I sound clueless but can anyone help me?

Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by:
Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD:
Boot From The Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

HT1379 A flashing question mark appears when I re/start my MacBook Air 2013. At first, I pressed Power & Option button and it recovered from Internet. Then, four options appeared but none of them are helpful. Could u please help me to solve it asap?

Hello,
A flashing question mark appears when I re/start my MacBook Air 2013. Then, I pressed POWER & OPTOIN buttons and internet options appeared for internet recovery. After internet recovery, the OS X utilities appears with four options (Restore from Time machine, Reinstall OS X, Get help online and Disk utility). But none of them seemed helpful. On the last option Disk utility, the icon created only with 33KB and other disk 1 Mac Os X Base system. On First Aid, the icon Repair disk is disabled. So I could not click on repair disk. Could you please suggest me how to solve this problem asap? Thank you so much for your help in advance!

You can try the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Help. iMac flashing question mark, and now power loss at startup.

Hey. I've had some really weird issues with my iMac. It's a 2.8 core 2 extreme aluminium 2007 iMac. It was bought for me at the end of august 2007.
What happened was, I was watching a movie and it started freezing. Everything was so slow. So I turned it off by the mains since it wouldn't shut down. When I tried booting it back up it had the flashing question mark. So I read up on it and tried doing what the apple support website recommended, which was to put the install disc back in and use the disk utility to repair the disk. Except this wouldn't work and it said the hard disk could not be unmounted. So I read up again and apple recommended resetting the PRAM, which I did and then it wouldn't recognise the hard drive AT ALL. But after a few tries of booting up it found it again, I got on disk utility and still said the same thing when I tried to repair. So I repaired the permissions instead and restarted and the computer booted as normal. But then was still very slow and freezing. So I opened disk utility one more time and tried repairing permission, restarted the computer and now when it gets to the apple logo and the loading icon it looses power and goes blank. I've already tried resetting the SMU. it didn't work. Has anybody got ANY clue to what I can do? Is my waranty up? I don't have AppleCare. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you have an Intel iMac, it has an SMC not an SMU, so if you used the procedure that says "SMU" on it, you used the one for an iMac G5, which is not an Intel iMac.
Since you did many different things in a somewhat random order, you may want to do the following, even if you did some of it already.
Reset PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If that does not help, reset SMC
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
which is basically disconnecting ALL cables and power, then reconnecting using a precise procedure. If you have been connecting the power cord to a crowded or old power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it directly to the wall outlet, at least initially. First, power it up with nothing connected, except for power cord. If that works, add just your keyboard/mouse and use it that way for a while to evaluate how the iMac is working. If all is well, connect your other peripheral (USB/FireWire) devices one by one. If the problem does recur at some point, identify the device added last; it may be faulty or causing some kind of interference.
If the problem remain, even when trying to start up the iMac with nothing but power cord connected, connect just your keyboard/mouse. Insert your Mac OS X installation disc (for the currently installed system) and restart with the C key held down. Sounds like you did this already. You should note if the iMac is running normally when booted off the installation disc. If so, the problem may be your internal drive; it may be faulty. Run Disk Utility from Installer's menu bar, and try to do a +Repair Disk+ again. See if it works any better this time.
You can also try using the Apple Hardware Test, including on your original disc(s)

Flash Player installation and update questions and answers

How do I verify that I have the latest version of Flash Player?
If you receive a message that tells you that Flash Player is out of date or a new version of Flash Player is available, you can verify this by visiting the Flash Player Help page with your browser.
Simply click the "Check Now" button and you'll be presented with a short message and detailed information regarding your Flash Player installation.
Where should I download the latest version of Flash Player?
Because malware authors will often employ misleading tactics to make malware look like something you should trust, it's important to get your Flash Player updates directly from Adobe.
Please verify that your Flash Player downloads and updates come from only the adobe.com or macromedia.com domains. You can always download the latest version of Flash Player directly from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
I've selected the automatic update option in Flash Player, why do I continue to get update notifications?
Periodically, users are presented with the Flash Player update dialog notifying them that a new version of Flash Player is available for download from adobe.com.
The automatic update mechanism is used for some updates, security patches that address zero-day vulnerabilities and when users, who have selected to be updated automatically, have not updated within 45 days after a regularly scheduled update release of Flash Player.
What should I expect when I receive notification that Flash Player has an update available?
When a major update to Flash Player becomes available you will be presented with a Flash Player update dialog
After reviewing new features, pressing the Download button will open your default browser and load the Install Adobe Flash Player page.
Clicking the "Update now" or "Install Now" button will then take you to the next page which will start the download process and give instructions for completing the Flash Player install.
Finally, once the installation is complete your browser will display a page confirming a successful installation.
If you encounter installation problems, we recommend you review our Windows and Mac OS installation help documents. Further questions and information can be found on the Flash Player installation forums.
Why does Adobe Flash Player installer include the option to download additional software?
Adobe offsets the ongoing development costs of Flash Player, which is made available for free, by offering users the option to download select software from Adobe partners.
What options do I have when installing or updating Flash Player?
You have a few different options available when updating Flash Player. We recommend that you choose "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" when initially setting up Flash Player
or by going into the Flash Player control panel and choosing this option in the Advanced tab.
Once selected, most updates will occur in the background without requiring any interaction. For those regularly scheduled major update releases, you will be presented with an update notification dialog
If you decide not to update, you will receive an automatic update within 45 days if you have the "Allow Adobe to install updates" option selected. Please note that when this update occurs, only Flash Player will be installed.
If you want to be notified about every Flash Player update, select "Notify me to install updates" when initially installing Flash Player or from the Advanced tab in the Flash Player control panel.
Finally, if you'd prefer not to receive any updates, select "Never check for updates (not recommended)". We do not recommend this option as we believe keeping your system up to date improves both security and stability when using Flash Player.
For network Administrators we offer additional update options, including the ability to host your own internal Flash Player update server. Please see our Flash Player distribution page and Flash Player Administrator guide for details.

Sunil, I just want to verify you are pointing me to the link under "Progress bar hangs during download / Unable to connect to server / Unable to download metafile."
If yes, then that is the file I originally downloaded based on a March post I saw here.
I just tried it again, and it (by "it" I mean the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers from download.macromedia.com) installed 11.6.
After the installation process completed, the dialog box notified me it was version 11.6, and when I went back to, the "find version" page, 11.6 was confirmed.
I did not download the exe for Internet Explorer, as I almost never use that browser.

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?

Boots to flashing question mark folder and disc utility cannot locate internal hard drive

Bottling my MacBook Pro I end up with a flashing question mark folder. I reboot holding the option key to select discs and there were no options at all. I plug in an Ethernet cable and it shows a internet recovery option. I click and it downloaded a temporary recovery mode. From there I open disc utility but it doesn't find any internal hard drives. I reset the pram and I still get the flashing question mark folder. Thinking it was my internal hard drive that failed I bought and replaced the internal hd with a new one and repeated all the processes and still no internal hard drive was found. I'm stuck with the flashing question mark folder. Therefore I've concluded that it was my MacBook pros internal hard drive CABLE that had failed. Does anyone know of any other possible problems that is causing this for my MacBook Pro or know of any solutions? Or is replacing my internal hd cable the only solution? Please help!

It was the internal HD cable. I replaced it and now my MacBook Pro works
