Go to and Play just restarts movie

I have a "GotoandPlay" action within a symbol within a
scene... I'd been having trouble getting the action to play the
correct frame within that scene when someone provided this fix,
using either "_parent"," _root" or "_level"):
on (rollOver) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("subhomeAbout");
However, now that I need the action to play a frame within a
different scene completely, it's no longer working. Have tried all
three suggestions, both with and without "Scene x". Anything I'm
missing?
Thanks!

The global property "this" refers to the timeline or object
you're
currently in. So if this script is in the main timeline and
you want the
main timeline to go to a particular frame label, "this" would
do. The
global property "_root" refers to the main timeline of the
currently active
document level. Unless you're purposefully in _level1,
_level2, etc. then
you're in _level0. You would presumably know if you were
elsewhere. So in
your situation, "_root" and "this" probably refer to the same
place -- if
your code is in the main timeline.
It will help you greatly to study some of these terms -- not
only for
this scenario, but in general. Pathing is extremely important
in
ActionScript (in most programming languages). If you have a
message and
can't send that message to the right place ... well, it's not
going to get
there, right?

Have you actually provided a frame label?

Is there a keyframe in the main timeline with the frame
lable "contact"?

I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2

My Problem:
I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2
and get the following message "an error occurred loading this content. Try again later"
Do others have the same problem of not being able to play rented HD?
All my other activities are normal. I can play Standard Def rentals, Movie Previews, HD MLB, and all else as necessary except HD rentals
I have a 13.5 Mbps connection.
I have gone through ALL of the expected procedures. Changed the cable, did a reset, did a restore.
This has happened with two TV2's as I replaced the first one due to the "unable to update issues"
The current TV2 now has the current up to date software since that issue has been resolved for all.
Any answers???
Location Melbourne Australia.

This is a new TV2. Actually my second. First bought less than 2 weeks ago. it was returned to the store and replaced because of the issue of not being able to update the TV2 software from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2.
Both machines had that same problem, and both could not play the rented HD movies.
The second TV2 has sicne been able to update to 4.2.2 when everyone else who had that problem went away this last weekend. So I have gone from 4.1.1 on two machines and no HD rentals to the current one updated to 4.2.2 and still no HD rentals.
The Standard def comes in fine and no real delay. And IF the movie previews are HD (when it is turned on in settings) then I have had NO problems viewing them.
I also have NO problem viewing HD MLB games on the TV2

Can I import and play just the sound track from a video?

I downloaded some video clips with sound and imported them as QT videos into i-tunes - no problem. But how can I now play just the sound track and import it into a music playlist so I can play it on my Ipod in the car? (Or if I put the video on my Ipod - it's a sound only one, not a video one - will it just play the sound track?)
Thanks

Without knowing anything about the nature of the video files you're talking about, all I can say is that if they contain audio, you can extract it. The process may not be lossless, unless you extract the audio and convert it to Apple Lossless, WAV or AIFF. If your iPod is an older one, you may be limited in the formats you can play.
For a simple way to extract the audio only, you can use the Streaming/Exporting Wizard in VLC. You can also, depending on the format of the source movie, export audio with Toast or even iMovie to formats compatible with iPods.

Is it possible to run two different apple tv units on the same network and play two different movies off of my iTunes library

Is it possible to play two different movies on two seperate apple tv units on two tvs at the same time using the same itunes library

AC is corret you can do that. It might work a bit better for you if you use a wired connection vs a wireless one for the ATV's.

TS1702 how can I get anyone to give us answer on the iphone apps casino game we purchased few days ago which once the token was finished we were not able to reset and play just for fun and not for gambling. we need help and not to be charged additional

few days ago I have purchased Iphone casino games from itunes apps store. One of the game was made by the company called "ARISTOCRAT" dragan game. Usually we will get basic tokens to play the game, and if we ran out of the tokens all we need to do is going into "manu" and "setting" selete "dream" and reset that we should be able to continue play the game with same amount of the basic tokens. The one game would not let us to go back to the game. There were msg came out said" game center requires an active connection to the internet"? I didn't feel comfortable because we purchased the game for $1.99 to play for fun and not to gamble. We do have credit card on your file. We don't want to be charged alot of money for something not in our well. I need help to answer the question on the following:
1. Are we able to ever play this game again without going to internet? We don't even know which site to go to, because when we press the ok button nothing else came out to direct us to any area.
2. We only purchased the few days ago order ID: MGT74GN6V7 on 10/03/12. all the other games we purchased we were able to continue to play by doing the same setting.
Thank you for your help and looking forward to hear from you!

You need to contact itunes support

Can you put your iTunes data on your airport and then have your computers with the same apple id sync to this music/ and play list / podcast / movies / iTunes u?

I have a laptop and desktop can I sync my itunes to a master libary on a nas or my airport extream? this would be similar to syncing my devices to my imac (iPad, iPhonce, ect.)

two answers as I am unshour to what you want to do:
Setup homeshareing or:
1) QUIT not just Close iTunes if it open
1) Make a folder on the shared disk
2) Move the "Users/username/Music/iTunes folder you want to share with all the devices to the folder on the shared disk
3) Make that folder accessable by all the users you want to access it.
4) Hold the "Option/alt" key down and click iTunes and it will ask if you want to "Choose a Library"
5) click "Choose a Library" and choose the one on the shared disk
6) Do this on evey meachine you want to have access to this library
8) REMBER THAT IF YOUR NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR SHARED DISK THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR LIBRARY but you can choose librays at any time by using step 4 and you can have as meany librarys as you like.
I hope this answers your question
Sorry for any bad spellings I am dyslex......

My iMac updates at startup with the logo then once it's done it shuts down. So I restart it and it just restarts the update and shuts down again. Any one know why?

So I don't know why my iMac is doing this. It's a late 2009 model I believe. I was literally working perfectly fine a few minutes before this. I decided to reboot my Mac and this update started and I can't seem to get out of it. And I've rebooted several times and this update never seems to finish.
The most recent update as I usually update when the new ones come out..
None the less does anyone know why this is happening?

Okay. So the third or forth time resetting all those things didn't work. So I started up in safe mode. And currently it's spinning with a circle with the cross logo.
I have it running off an external hard drive. I think it's due to to that nhence the logo.
So I'll just let it sit he unless there's a way you know to make it pick up right away.

Itunes cannot detect and play my mp4 movie file. any suggestions..?

i tried dragging the movie file into itunes and selecting from the file select menu on the top left corner of itunes, but it still can't be detected. the format is in mp4 format so what went wrong..?

can't also...
Error -2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie
that's what appeared on screen when i tried opening with Quicktime..

Is there a way in iTunes to separate the stereo tracks and play just one side?

Files that I have can be played so that you hear one of the two stereo tracks of a song. So far I have not been able to figure out a way to do this in iTunes. Does anyone know how to do this? Is this a lost cause?

It's a lost cause.
I sould add that Quicktime has a left/ right control.
Window>>Show AV control.

Hi,
Sorry to hear that still it does not work.
Can you update now?
Please try to update your phone even with the same sw if new is not available.
If it still the same, i think it is best to visit Nokia Care Point in your area.

Can't load facebook flash games completely, can load and play games anywhere else

I have adobe flash player 10.2 for firefox installed. I've got 3.5.18 Firefox. Up until about February I was able to play flash games just fine, even with an apparently outdated Firefox and flash player 10.
Then I suddenly couldn't completely load games like Frontierville or Treasure Isle. No matter what I would do; including clearing the cache, clearing temporary internet files, reloading the page repeatedly, restarting my computer and uninstalling/reinstalling my flash plugin and my browser, the loading screen would hang at about 98% completion. This is now a common issue across the site for me. No games at all will load.
I can go to any other site however, and play any flash movie or flash game I wish. It will load properly, and play as normal.
Any and all addictinggames.com games and any and all miniclip.com games work just fine, as an example.

I have played the facebook games on firefox, they run perfectly fine on firefox. no problem with the games. All the games are working fine. Facebook games, chrome games or be it online games, they work absolutely fine on my firefox. There might be some problem with your computer. Try to fix it yourself. My firefox runs absolutely fine. The favicon on my site is a movable one which keeps sliding. Even the favicon works on my firefox which does not work on Google chrome. Internet explorer completely messes up my website but firefox is absolutely working good. I play games on [[Racing Games|http://www.racinggames9.com/]] and i haven't had any problem with any of the games here. Miniclip is also working fine on my firefox.

Why does the new Quicktime NOT play my old MOV files?

Hi Folks.
I'm using the lasted updated Yosemite on a 3-year old iMac.
Back in my early iMac days (3 years ago), I imported my camcorder's AVCHD files
into iMove or Final Cut Express and converted them to Quicktime MOV files.
Turns out they were rendered by Apple or Final Cut into MOV files using the
Apple Intermediate codec. I had no choice over this.
Until I upgraded to Yosemite, I was able to preview any of these movies
very easily in the Finder. Simply highlight the movie, press the spacebar,
and it opens, in a real-time, real-size screen, with a simple play-pause button
in the progress bar at the bottom. Never had a problem with any previous
Mac OS.
Now when I click on the file in the finder, instead of a movie preview, I get a
big, silent QT "Mov" icon that just sits there looking silly.
I double click it to open it up in Quicktime, and it attempts to go through this
lengthy conversion process, taking at least as long as the movie is in minutes,
then asking me if I want to save this new "converted" version.
Fortunately, I have an old version of Quicktime 7 on my Mac, and QT 7 opens it
and plays it no problem. No "conversion" necessary. No cumbersome and
space-hogging needs to create a "cloned" copy, just so the new, lame version
of Quicktime can play it.
What's up, Apple? AIC was YOUR codec that YOUR SOFTWARE chose to
transcode into. Now, your new Quicktime does NOT support this codec?
And your old version does? And why might THAT be?
Really, this is so elementary. This is not rocket science. Just like JPG images
not displaying properly in Mac Mail now. It begs the question "why" ...?
I mean, for the elementary preview abilities that always made Mac such a
friendly computer ... *uh* ... where is that?
And here we go, wasting hours of time, looking for fixes that should not
have to be "fixed"...
Did I miss something? Or did you?

Aeclay: here's a couple of ideas. And an answer to your earlier post.
Basically two options to work with here:
Store the files as native AVCHD files... OR
Convert the files to Quicktime
I keep two archives of my AVCHD recordings, partly for backup, and partly for Sony's ability to archive nicely in it's own native format on it's PC-friendly utility called "PMB". (came wtih both my NEX and ALPHA cameras). I have an old PC that I use for my complete archive; Sony's PMB utility works only on PC's and will do a good job both of archiving, providing a thumbnail database, and re-writing your choice to removable media in it's typical Sony hierarchy.
If you've only got Mac's, you can still archive your AVCHD recordings; copy them to folders named or organized to your own spec's. AVCHD is a high-quality compression format, and they'll take up way less disk space than converted Quicktime MOV files. You can open and play all AVCHD movies quite easily with VLC player.
The only extra trick to be aware of here is this. The only reason you would need to preserve the intact "sony" folders (named "AVCHD" / "BMDV" etc) is is you were using Adobe Premiere as a video editor. Somehow, it needs the hierarchical folder stuff in place to properly index the files. Not mandatory, but helpful if you are a Premiere user. Otherwise, forget the weird "package" folders; just right-click (ctrl-click) on them, choose "view package contents" and MOVE the MTS files out of the Sony hierarchy for permanent storage. Use VLC player to open and view them.
From that point on, you have control over how you manage the files and what intermediate or end-user format you convert them to for your own use.
I'm not clear on your other question about the files that add the word "converted" on. Of course Mac will convert to Quicktime MOV files. Not sure what codec they're using now, likely H.264. Anyway, don't bother converting. It'll take up a lot of time and waste a lot of disk space.
ps. I just found this free utility on the internet. It's called "MTS CONVERTER". I have not tried it, but it claims to be able to convert all AVCHD files to various useable formats.
Good luck! (and happy Valentine's Day!)

Can I play full-length movies? if so, how?

i'm new to ipod, just purchased a 60gb video... now, i'm trying to figure out how to purchase and play full-lenth movies or tv shows on my ipod... i see they have movie trailers on the site, but dont see anything about purchasing the full show.... can someone help? thanx in advance

First off any kind of video work requires a computer that is up to the task. Video conversion puts a lot of stress on hardware. In any case you should have a second clean harddrive, plenty of memory and a fast CPU with a good power supply (400 watts). If you are having trouble getting the software to even run, then you have problems with your operating system that need to be fixed first.

Import and edit motion jpeg movie from d-lux 5

I have a leica d-lux 5 that can shoot 720 HD via motion jpeg. I use the sd card adaptor to import the movies into the iPad. the movies go into the photos app and play just fine. You can also add the movies to iPad keynote presentations for example.
The thing is I can not seem to get the movies to show up in imovie which means I can edit them into a movie. Seems strange I can see the movie via keynote but not imovie...
Has someone found a way to add movie files from a camera via sd card adaptor to the iPad2. This is a great workflow for vacationing with a camera that shoots hd and and iPad2.

Greg, I have exactly the same question. It seems Apple expect you to only want to edit video shot directly from your iPad.
The only workaround I have found, and this is only if you have a free wifi connection.
From your Import folder, forward the video clip to yourself as an email attachment. In the received email, you can then detach the file into the Camera Roll.
This is very messy, but it does work.
