Getting MIAW to open in right spot

I thought I had this issue solved months ago. Then I got a
new wide screen monitor and was frustrated that this MIAW is once
again a problem.
I designed my main movie to be 1024 x 768, full-screen and
centered. I originally did this on my small 15" monitor so that it
would take up the entire screen. That monitor can only support up
to 1024 x 768, so became my minimum requirement for all my
users-to-be. An MIAW opens when the program starts and on that
monitor it opened in just the right spot. THEN I opened the program
on my wide screen (1680 x 1050) and the program takes up the middle
of the screen and the MIAW is in the completely wrong spot.
I'm not sure how I'm going to handle different size monitors
yet (I just know that I never want my interface to stretch out on a
wide screen). But I want my MIAW to be in the same spot on the
interface no matter what the screen size and what the resolution.
This is the code I have been using:
tWindow = window().new(gMIAWFugue)
tWindow.filename = "@/music/fugues/"&gMIAWFugue
tWindow = window gMIAWFugue
d = window("stage").rect
tWindow.rect = tWindow.sourceRect.offset(66, 30)
tWindow.open()
This script went through many changes and I was away from
designing this program for several months, so I can't remember what
everything is (like "d"). But I must have kept if for a reason.
This is the script that works in 1024 x 768, but is screwed up on a
wide screen.
So my question is two-fold: 1. What do I do about the variety
of screen sizes, and 2. how do I get my MIAW to open in the right
spot no matter the screen size or resolution (above 1024 x 768).
This program requires Win XP or OS X. So having the program change
the users resolution is fine with me, but not stretched on a wide
screen?

Template tab and

I'm not sure, but I think the "centered" option records the
rect based
on the current screen resolution.
Better instead to place your MIAW relative to the rect of
your stage -
which it looks like you were going to do at one point since
you grab a
reference to it:
tWindow = window().new(gMIAWFugue)
tWindow.filename = "@/music/fugues/"&gMIAWFugue
-- tWindow = window gMIAWFugue -- no need to do this
d = window("stage").rect
tWindow.rect = d.offset(66, 30)
tWindow.open()

  • Getting Finder to open the right version

    I recently updated my copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader from 5.0.5 to 5.1. But the new version doesn't work.
    How do I get Finder to open the old 5.0.5 version when I double-click on a PDF file (without deleting the new 5.1 version)?
    Gary

    "The app starts with a splash screen that indicates it is loading plugins. Then it simply quits. The only remnant is a zero-length file in the trash."
    Reader 5.1 shouldn't simply quit, provided that you're running OS 9.1 minimally. Its OS requirements specify this, so if you're running an older version of the Mac OS, then a problem might be expected.  If the installer were a corrupted download, you should have tried downloading and installing it again.
    "And it's a GOOD thing that I didn't throw the old version away first. If I had, I'd have no way to open PDFs at all."
    My suggestion to delete the older installed version was not a recommendation for you to "throw away" anything.  One should always keep older program installers stored on another medium, for future use.  Didn't you save the Reader 5.0.5 installer after downloading it?  If not, the download link at Adobe's web site can be found here.  Years ago, I saved so many third-party, freeware downloads for pre-OS X software to multiple CDs.  Corporate acquisitions (such as AMD's acquisition of ATI) often cause a decline in web-based support, in spite of promises to the contrary.  AMD dropped the popular (pre-OS X) ATI Universal Installer 4.2 - I assume - because it was considered obsolete.  One should always backup downloads for safe keeping, because there's no gurantee that you'll be able to obtain them later.  VersionTracker was always a good source for older Mac downloads, until it was absorbed by CNet.  That's when many of the files became unavailable.

    Chris....
    Thank you for your considerate and thorough response.
    I think what most of ya'll don't realize is that this OP first  appeared in the Using ASC forum - or else I would never have even seen it.
    Whether it was mis-posted by the OP in Using ASC (happens ALL the TIME), and subsequently moved to the appropriate iPhone forum,  or was mis-directed to the Using ASC forum list by the New SiteWare (happens all the time too) -- is irrelevant. I have gotten tired of trying to track which one as it seems there is and may not ever be a solution.
    When you see me in a thread/forum other than Using ASC, OS 10.4.11, Powerbook or Quicktime... you can be certain that one of the two aforementioned happened.
    The fact that it was in that list is precisely why I think it is important for those who frequent there to be somewhat jacks-of-all-trades to an extent.
    I can certainly evaluate whether an OP has provided adequate information for someone else who's bailiwick in eventually falls to help (and not have to do the simple job - "did you read how to make a good question?" )
    Thanx agin Chris

  • How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ?

    How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ? I realize there is a 'new tab' button at the right end of the toolbar but I like the new tab function placed next the tabs ?

    See also:

    The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
    Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

  • I don't know much about computers can anyone walk me through this ? How Do I Change The Software Update Server Address On A Client  ? what do I open and how do i put it in the right spot?

    I don't know much about computers can anyone walk me through this ? How Do I Change The Software Update Server Address On A Client  ? what do I open and how do i put it in the right spot?

    The simplest method is to run a defaults command on the client Macs (easily pushed via Apple Remote Desktop):
    defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL 'HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG'
    for a user. If you run it via sudo it will set it for whenever you use softwareupdate as root.
    The HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG has been changed with Mac OS X 10.6.  If you use MCX it will automatically pick the new catalog – however if  doing it manually the following URLs need to be used for whichever  client version is in question:
    Mac OS X 10.4: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog
    Mac OS X 10.5: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.sucatalog
    Mac OS X 10.6: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog
    Mac OS X 10.7: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
    Mac OS X 10.8: index-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
    To double check this applied you can run the following command:
    /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    and /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    to see what settings are for the computer and user appropriately.
    If  this is working correctly when running Software Update (GUI) you should  see the server address appear in parenthesis in the title of the  window.
    MCX
    Another alternative is to use Workgroup  Manager to manage the preferences via MCX from your server. This can be  done for users, or for computers if they are bound to your Open Directory.
    If you are using 10.5 Server or newer: you can simply use the Software Update section under Preferences.
    Manually:
    Choose the accounts, computers, or groups to have the preference applied to.
    Click on Preferences, and then the Details tab
    Press the Add… button and navigate to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    Press Edit…
    Under Often, add a New Key and enter the name CatalogURL
    Make sure the type is string and then enter your SUS URL (eg. http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog or if using 10.6: http://mysus.examle.com:8088/ – see above from the defaults section)
    Press  Apply Now, then Done. Once users/computers have refreshed their MCX  settings (usually the next login or restart) the new settings will take  over.
    If this is working correctly when running Software  Update (GUI) you should see the server address appear in parenthesis in  the title of the window.
    In order to have a system-wide configuration one has to run the following:
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index.sucatalog"
    In order to correctly work both on Leopard and Snow Leopard the right command to issue is:
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog"
    Happily used and tested on my network
    The DNS trick that Chealion points out is fantastic. I use it at our office, and every computer on our LAN  will automatically pull the updates from the local repository at high  speed without any configuration.
    Create the swscan.apple.com DNS zone on your internal DNS server, and have it resolve via an A record to your Mac

  • We can't get to the camera roll right now

    I have a dell Latitude 10 table with Windows 8.1 RT. Last week I decided to unload all the pictures from the camera roll to my PC and I did it without a problem, but in the process I removed the camera roll folder under the public pictures library. Since
    then, the camera app is not working and it gives me the following message: "We can't get to the camera roll right now". I've re-created the folder, set the default save location and public save locations to the Public Pictures folder but the error
    keeps popping up every time I open the camera application. If I try to shoot a photo or a video it tells me that it couldn't be saved. How do I set the camera app to use the new folder?

    I had the same Problem, and all experts could not help. I even dowloaded tools that say thy would fix the problem. Anyway as a matter of fact it still is a computer, no magic.
    I found a way: Open regedit, search for "User Shell Folders".
    Then check all the directories.
    In my case one of the directories refered to the one I deleted. I just changed it and restarted my computer.
    On my iconia it saves into this key:
    I changed it | Keep the Name of the folder "Camera Roll" depending on your language it will rename the folder in the Explorer library automaticly. (in Germany to Eigene Aufnahmen)

  • How can I set up a WD My Cloud with my Airport Extreme - I can't get it to open ports 80 and 443?

    For remote internet access to the WD My Cloud Mirror, I have been advised that ports 80 and 443 must be open in order to reach the WDMyCloudMirror.  My Motorola Gateway (Surfboard SB6141) is connected directly to my Airport Extreme (WAN port) which is in turn connected to the WDMyCloudMirror (all by ethernet cables).  I do not have FULL instructions on how to properly manually configure the Airport Extreme to open the ports.  I have tried an earlier posting which provides many of the steps, but not all of the required information is included (how to determinge the IP address to be assigned, etc.).  I did the best I could with the information given, but the test using "YouGetSignal" showed the ports as still closed and attemps to reach the WDMyCloudMirror by the internet failed as well (of course).  The WDMyCloudMirror has enough Apple "stuff" included in it (software, I suspect) that an Apple legal acceptance is required for its set-up, yet Western Digital Tecnical Support is unable (or unwilling?) to help with this aspect of its configuration required to work within the Airport Extreme environment.  I have returned the WD My Cloud Mirror to Amazon as "not able to work", but I have not given up the hope that I can eventually get the ports open so that I can get this cloud device, or one similar, to permit remote internet access.

    Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
    It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
    Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
    In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
    But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.

  • How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

    When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
    For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
    I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
    *Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
    *Ctrl+left click the link
    *right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
    Open link/bookmark in new window:
    * Shift+Enter on the link
    * Shift+left click on the link
