GotoAndPlay in seperate movie file

i'm having problems figureing this out :/, it doesnt seem
like this should be so hard, so not sure whats wrong with me, but
iv been trying to figure it out for like 6 hours now..lol
What i'm trying to figure out is, I have a swf file that
loads other swf files within it. I have on main swf file that
loades example1.swf in it from the start through actionscript. What
i want to be able to do is use buttons that are contained in my
main file to gotoAndPlay(); within example1.swf so i can navigate
the embeded movie file from buttons contained in my main movie
file. Can anybody give me some hints or some help :)? thank
you^^

oo ok, i didnt know that was possible to do :/..lol. What
woudl be the syntax for loading the file into a specific _level?
and if i load another movie into that same level does the first
movie automaticly get replaced and unloaded? or do i have to code
that?..This is how iv been loading up till now
var _Rightloader:Loader;
_Rightloader = new Loader();
addChild( _Rightloader );
_Rightloader.load( new URLRequest( "MovieOne.swf" ));
_Rightloader.x=180;
_Rightloader.y=120;
is this right? Or is there a better way? Also, one last
question. The targetMC example you gave. Is targetMC the instance
name of an already existing movie file i want it to replace? or is
it a instance name the newly loaded movie file will inherit and
there doesnt have to be a movie file already named that on the
stage? or none of the above? (if that makes sense..lol)
(and ty so much for your time and help yet again
kglad^^)

Converting mov files to animated gifs

Basic question: how-to convert MOV files to animated GIF files. I have been searching for free/opensource/shareware to do this but so far no program I found could do this.
I'd love someone to answer, definitively, about free/opensource/shareware, but my hopes are down.
So, I ask what MAC program (even if I have to buy it) will let me convert MOV files to animated GIFs or MOV frames to seperate images (is that at all possible?).
Secondly, does anyone have experience with software that does this?
Thanks in advance.

Quicktime Pro 7 can take video (ie mov files) and export them as image sequences.
It can be purchased at the Apple store for $30.

Opening a video in a seperate flash file

Hi i am currently designing a site for a client and i need to be able to have 2 seperate flash files one with a video playlist in it and the other as a video player in a seperate file. Is there a way to link the 2 files and make them interact with each other?
Would i be better doing this entirely in HTML?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Webserver in seperate exe file??

Hi Guys
So - I'm developing a piece of software that aqquires data from a USB board - this has been working well for years, everybody is happy..
Now I want to publish the results to users via the NI web server.. Using the web publishing tool I have created a html doc from a sub VI within the main application with the front panel I wish to publish, and that displays various values updated every 5 seconds..(the monitor function, NOT remote control).. I quickly realized that when a number of browsers are looking at the VI my main application starts to hang - have not been able to fully understand why, but I guess the NI core waits for each request to be shipped.. not really a problem since I'm not doing a VI to be published on facebook with +1.000.000 viewers - but since it potentially stalls the entire application, I risk that my measurement is disrupted, which is a no go, since the measurement may be in the field somewhere, and not next to a guy at an office desk.. Thus - I moved the call to the sub-VI into an external call using a static VI reference and the front panel open / Run methods and the "wait untill Done" flag set to false.
This too is working very well and inside the development system I can now "sabotage" the application with multiple hits on the "refresh" button of a browser without stalling the application.. now problems arise - part because I do not have a full working knowledge of how the runtime engine operates, i guess - but... when I build this program into an exe, I can again stall the program by hitting the "refresh" button fast.... I assume that the runtime engine treats everything called from within the exe file in one thread??
Questions:
Is there a way (in a labVIEW .EXE file) to call a VI from another VI that totally separates them from each other so that if 'mainprogram' calls 'webserver', and 'webserver' hangs for some reason, this does not cause 'mainprogram' to equally hang? Could I for instance change the execution system of the VI with all 'webserver' related contant in the "execution" options?
If not - I guess building two exe files 'mainprogram' & 'webserver' and then launch 'webserver' using system exec from 'mainprogram' will prove a solution.
however - this means that now passing of data is no longer possible - in 2010 using lv8.6, what is the best means to move data back and forth between two seperate exe files? Ideally I would send a cluster of refnum's of the indicators from 'mainprogram' then read the values of these in 'webserver' and update the display here - but is the reference addresses from one exe, anything worth in the other exe (two seperate address spaces etc)?
Should I learn to use datasockets - or would a TCP approach be the best? We are not talking massive amounts of data - in the area of 15 value and string controls + 2 graphs with less than 1000 points. Remember that this should only be done locally between two exe files on the same computer, to I would prefer to keep this as simple as possible - something like a pipe used in Unix code.
Last but not least - is there a way to run 'webserver' as some sort of service, so that the user will avoid having a window open he does not need, or a minimized 'webserver' window in the taskbar?
many questions - and yes I know that I can read all about datasockets and TCP in the forum halls - and I'm doing it, but I would prefer to not waste too many days brushing up on new stuff not needed because my plan is wack from the start..
Thank you for your help.

this is my question regarding the .exe files.
what if i whant to make my project available for every one, not only for those that already have jre instaled, and someone that doesn't know or doesn't want to install jre want's to benefit from it????
what do u have to answer to that??
a serious answer please..!!

Use Automator to move files and folder structure to another folder, retaining destination contents

I have been struggling trying to setup Automator to move files and folder structure to another folder, retaining the destination contents. Basically, I need to add files at the destination, within the same folder structure that exists at the source. Here's some details about the scenario:
-I have PDF files that I create on a seperate computer than I my daily use machine
-For security reasons, the source computer doesn't have access to any shares on the destination computer
-The destination computer has access to shares on the source computer
-I want to delete the original PDFs at the source after they are moved or copied
I haven't been able to get Automator to move or copy the folder contents (files and subfolders) without dropping everything copied at the top level of the destination, resulting in many duplicate folders and a broken folder structure.
So far I've only had luck getting this to work at the command line, but I'd really like to have this setup in Automator so that I could have either a service or application that I could use for any folder, prompting for the source and destination folders. I'm a relatively new Mac user with limited Linux experience, so this is the command that I've cobbled together and currently accomplishes what I'm looking for:
ditto /Volumes/SMB_Temp/SOURCE ~/Desktop/Documents/DESTINATION
cd /Volumes/SMB_Temp/SOURCE
find . -type f -name "*.pdf" -exec rm -f {} \;
Thanks for any ideas!

If you have a command-line syntax that works, why not just create an Automator workflow with a single 'Utilities -> Run Shell Script' action, where that action has your (working) shell commands?
Seems way, way simpler to me than trying to reinvent the wheel and transcribe shell commands into individual Automator actions

Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
Who can help me??
Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
- make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
- do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
- perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
- make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
- after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
Still, I will go through the other tips too.
(will post progress)

No thumbnails or playback of MOV files in Adobe Bridge CC

Hi
I recently downloaded and installed the latest version of Bridge from the Creative Cloud and I am unable to view thumbnails of .MOV files taken with an Apple iPhone5. I am able to open the file but there is no audio or video in the playback. Anyone else have similar issues? I am able to view these same files in Lightroom CC fine. I am using Windows 7 64-bit. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Only thing I can think of is there must have been some kind of mixup in
the transfer process. Here's what I did: I plugged her phone into our
Macbook Air at home and transferred her stills and movies off from her
camera (using iPhoto) to a connected portable hard drive. From there I
copied and pasted the files onto a removable thumb drive. From there I
brought them to work on my PC and copied them off to a portable hard drive
there. Seems to me the MOV files got lost in translation somehow. It's
possible I didn't do this correctly? I know with MY iPhone images and
movies I copied them directly from my phone onto my computer (PC) when it
showed up as a device in my device listing. It wanted to use iTunes for
this but I bypassed iTunes and did it the old fashioned way. These are the
files that I am able to view correctly on my PC at work in Bridge. So I
guess I need to recheck my workflow here.

Unable to import movie files from iphoto '08 into imovie HD

I have recently bought a 2008 macbook (2.2 GHz) and have recently downloaded imovie HD in addition to owning iLife '08 due to its extra capabilities. I have found that I am unable to import any of my movie files from my iphoto library folder as it seems to need to open the actual iphoto application before the files can be accessed. In addition, when not using any specific program it would be nice to be able to access my photo/video files within the iphoto folder without iphoto automatically opening as the default viewer.
Any ideas??!! Thanks.

.. and I import AVI video clips directly without converting to .dv, without problems.
lucky you.. .avi is just a container, no 'format'/codec .. I can show you dozends of .avis, which will NOT import into iMHD6, due to being playback-codecs, not convertable by the underlying Quicktime engine into separte, editable audio+video streams ..
.. If you convert to .dv, the size just blows up.
dv is 13GB/h and a codec meant for editing; e.g. it stores every frame (video=30 frams/sec) of a recording, as mpegs usually doesn't do so.. = your Mac has to estimate content, when converting and 'recovering' the content = lossy process.
iMHD6 is a dv-editor; the mpeg4 feature is only a toy, to spice up iSight recordings.. for sure, the QTengine can convert a lot, but too much conversion (from one lossy codec, e.g. divx, into another, e.g. mp4) means a (dramatic) loss of pic quality..
my 5€ cents ..

Voice Memo .mov files lost in iphone Limbo

Hello.
After doing some research it appears that:
There is a bug with iphone (mine is 3g) that when voice memos are recorded they are recorded as .mov files, and then converted to .m4a.
I assume this is because .m4a is a more complex algorithm and the little iphone processor can only record .mov on the fly.
The issue is that if the iphone is interrupted in this process, you will have a voice memo that goes for 0 seconds and a .mov file on your iphone taking up space.
I noticed in iTunes that i had 3.9 GB of "Other" taking up space on my iphone. After using third party software, i looked into the files on the iphone and found that most of this space was being taken up by files in my "recordings" folder. I went into 'voice memos' on my iphone and individually** deleted all the voice memos (after backing them up) and freed up a significant amount of the 3.9 GB. However, there are still 1.2 GB of .mov files still taking up space on the iphone, and I cannot find a program that will let me delete the files (write to the iphone hard disk) and the iphone itself cannot recognise the files!
It seems the only way to delete the files is to Jailbreak. I don't want to jailbreak the phone, simply because i believe that when you pay for apple products, you are paying for a product that 'just works'. In other words, they have done all the trouble shooting and tweaking of things to make it all work seamlessly. Jailbreaking reopens the can of worms of software clashes, and you get back into the land of using a windows style system.
Does anyone have a way around this?
I have iPhone 3g and Macbook 2.4ghz Core2Duo.

They won't sync back to your phone as far as I know. You can sync them from your phone to computer to listen to them in itunes. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
You might try this:
In iTunes, select the voice memo you want on your phone, go to “Advanced” and select “Create MP3 Version”. See if you can sync that back to your phone.

Quicktime does not convert my .MOV file into a watchable format on Quicktime

Hi guys!
I won't give you all a long sob story but basically, I went to my first music festival over the weekend and uploaded my videos onto my friends computer, I then uploaded these videos (i took with my iPhone) to Google Drive. When i got back onto my own computer, I download the .MOV files from Google Drive, these videos would not convert into a watchable format. It gives me the message -
"QuickTime Player can't open "IMG_8788.MOV". To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More."
It says that Quicktime should support MOV files. I am using version 10.3 Quicktime player with iOS Mavericks. I really want help with this issue as I will be devastated if these videos are lost. My friend obviously deleted them off his computer because they did take up alot of space!

iPhone recorded files should already be compatible QT X v10.3 (and QL) as is in the MOV file container. However, the process of downloading, uploading, and again downloading the files may have created some sort of issue causing QT X to not properly "recognize" the content and thus, wants you to check for additional support.
In any case, will the files open in any other media players? (E.g., VLC, MPlayerX, NicePlayer, QT 7, MPEG Streamclip, etc.) For instance, if the files open in QT 7 Pro, MPEG Streamclip, or VLC, you may be able to copy the data to a new MOV file container which QT X will open and play. (I.e., this procedure does not recompress the data and is reasonable quick. Also not sure if using the "Command-D" Finder option to "duplicate" the file will create a "readable" file or not but you might try it.)

Why does iTunes create disk errors when deleting movie files?

I use a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.7.5. When I delete movie file from my iTunes library I get disk errors. I need to option boot select the recovery disk and repair the disk. Deleting a movie file I have placed on my desktop with finder does not create any errors. Most of the movie files are created as .m4v movies. They all play just fine with my Apple TV. I have tried turning off the Apple TV and rebooting before I delee files but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?
Lance

If you let iTunes organise your media folders then that is the way it is. An option would be to change the Media Kind to TV Show which would gather them togther in one folder, but in a different part of the library.

A Espinoza,
The iTunes Media folder is set in Preferences > Advanced, and is the key to most iTunes folder organizational activities. So I doubt that the automatic deletion will work for files that are somewhere else within the folder structure.
However, I have not experimented with that issue in quite a while, so you are welcome to give it a try in iTunes 11.

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks

Cannot delete movie file from iTunes

After converting movie file via Quicktime and adding it to the iTunes library, I am not able to remove it anymore. If you try to delete it, it crashes iTunes and after that all desktop icons are frozen. The movie does not play in iTunes, you cannot edit its info without crashing iTunes either. Movie plays in preview pane in Finder....
Is there any other way to remove the file from iTunes?

Try deleting the file without iTunes running.
When you next open iTunes it should then be marked as a missing file and you should be able to delete the entry from iTunes.
Hope this works
Regards,
Colin R.
