Having trouble adding action script to button symbol

Hello everyone:
I am hoping someone will read this as I am a developer in
'dires straits' with Flash ( a newbie). My problem regards a
layer called "button" which has already been converted to symbol
and turned into an invisible button. The problem lies when I try to
use the selection tool to select it so that I can add action script
to it. Instead of the actions dialogue box saying "actions-button",
it says "actions-frame", and as a result, the action script doesn't
work. I don't know what to do, it should be simple to select it but
something is wrong. If you feel a need to help a developer in need,
you can email me at [email protected], and I can e-mail
you the file so that you can help. Thanks, or you can call me at
310-867-5167
Corinna

Can you plant the fla file on a server and provide a link to
it? Zip it up first if possible.

    Hello, I am having Trouble adding Audiobooks in iTunes 12.1.2.27 with OSX Yosemite 10.10.3, I downloaded 4 Audiobooks from Audible, Synced my iPod but the new Audiobooks do not show up in either the Audiobooks or Music section of my iPod after I sync my iPod, I do see them in the Audio section of iTunes but not on my iPod, any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you Michael

    I do have an icon of my iPod but if I click on it it disconnects my iPod from iTunes.

  • Having trouble adding purchased and imported music to my playlists

    I'm having trouble adding purchased and imported music to my play lists. For example when I purchase or import new music to my playlists I have to re sync my ipod or the new songs don't appear on my playlists. Perhaps this is because I once unplugged my ipod w/out first disconnecting it. Previously when I purchased and imported music songs would appear on my play lists when I dragged them from purchased to playlist.

    Remember to authorise your new machine with the Apple ID
    Essentially copy the itunes folder and all sub folders over to the same place in the new computer.
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

    You have to choose – one settigf or another.
    The thing is.your HD clips will look better in an SD project than your SD clips will in an HD project.
    WIthout knowing much more about your project and the kind of content, it's really hard to be specific. But generally I'd let my project settings be guided by what fraction of my timeline will be made up of HD clips and how much SD clips. If it's 75% HD, I'd probably do an HD project…and so on,
    Good luck.

  • Having trouble adding information to a join table

    I am building a Proof-of-concept HR application in Apex using the hosted site and having trouble entering information into a join table. There are three tables in my schema: Applicants, Postings, and ApplPostings
    "Applicants" fields: Applicant_ID (PK), Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone, Email
    "Postings" fields: Posting_ID(PK), Posting_Number, Item_Number, Posting_Date, Title, Description
    "ApplPostings" fields: Appp_ID (PK), Apply_Date, appl_appl_id (FK), post_post_id (FK)
    I have 5 pages in my application
    1. A Report that shows all Applicants
    2. A Form that shows Applicant details and allows editing
    Contains 3 regions: Applicant Detail, Associated Postings, Available Postings
    3. A Report that shows all Postings
    4. A Form that shows Posting details and allows editing
    5. A Form that allows creating an entry in ApplPostings
    On page #2 (from the list above, it's p3 in my app), the "Associated Postings" region shows data from the Postings table for selected applicant per the ApplPostings table. This is the SQL:
    select jp.posting_number,
    jp.posting_date, jp.title
    from applicants ja,
    applpostings jap,
    postings jp
    where ja.applicant_id = jap.appl_appl_id
    and jp.posting_id = jap.post_post_id
    and ja.applicant_id = (:p3_applicant_ID)
    The "Available Postings" region uses this SQL to show information on the remaining postings:
    select jp2.posting_id, jp2.posting_number, jp2.posting_date, jp2.title
    from postings jp2 where JP2.POSTING_ID
    not in
    (select jp.posting_id
    from applicants ja,
    applpostings jap,
    postings jp
    where ja.applicant_id = jap.appl_appl_id
    and jp.posting_id = jap.post_post_id
    and ja.applicant_id = :p3_applicant_id )
    The Posting ID column in "Available Postings" is set up as link to page #5 (from list above, p7 in my app)
    This page shows three fields: Apply_Date, appl_appl_id, post_post_id
    Source information for appl_appl_id:
    Source used: Always
    Source type: Item
    Source value or expression: p3_applicant_id
    Source information for post_post_id:
    Source used: Always
    Source type: Item
    Source value or expression: p3_posting_id
    Both ID fields populate with inherited values correctly.
    The problem is when I try to use the Apex generated "Apply Changes" button
    Nothing happens, there is not data added to that table.
    I get the "Action Processed" message, but the row is not created in the ApplPostings table.
    Any suggestions on what to do next will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Jody

    Hi,
    On the form, any items that represent database columns must use "Database Column" as the Source Type and the column names as the Source Value or Expression. The "Fetch Row..." and "Process Row..." processes refer to these to determine where to write the data. So your first step is to change the two page items to use these settings. Without these settings, there is nothing to write into the table - the "Action performed" message will be displayed because there is no SQL error.
    Now, on your report, your link should pass in the two values needed. In the Column Link settings for the column you are linking on, you have three pairs of fields headed Item 1, Item 2 and Item 3. Each item has a Name and Value setting. Into the Name setting enter in the page 7 item names. Into the corresponding Value setting enter in the column names that contain the values these items need to receive, surrounded by # symbols (for example, #POSTING_ID#).
    Then, when you click on the item in the report, you are passed to page 7 and the fields are correctly populated. As the form correctly identifies these fields as database columns, when you click Apply Changes, the insert can take place.

  • Action Scripting for button

    I created a little 'movie clip' of a continuous animation and
    want to make it a button that can be used in dreamweaver. I was
    told I would have to link it from flash (as dreamweave can not link
    a swf file to a webpage). I was having a problem trying to action
    script the movie clip - when I selected the 'movie clip' graphic it
    said: Current selection can not have actions applied to it. How
    should this be done?
    Thanks

    you're right - that should work. my first thing that i test
    when something like that happens is that every keyframe in the
    tween contains exactly the same instance. A common problem is that
    the instance name of the clip may be slightly different(eg a space
    somewhere) in different keyframes.
    Rather than looking for the problem, I usually just clear the
    keyframes in the tween and then put them back in. In your case I
    cleared the keyframe on frame 12 on layer "see more" and then
    inserted keyframe(returning it to color: None) and tested the
    movie. The button works fine!
    So then i went back to your original movie to try to find
    what was inconsistent between the two keyframes in 'see more' and
    couldn't find the problem... so anyway, this looks like a situation
    where we may not know the reason for the problem but at least we've
    found the solution...

  • Action Script and button Behavior

    Imported a bmp as png, made it into a movie clip. Setup the
    AS to call for page 4. It works great. I would now like to have a
    text box come up on the rollover. I tried to nest the mc into a
    button. I can make the text box work but the script won’t
    work when I click.
    Could you refer me to a resource that would explain the
    relationship between the two. Or is there another way to do this.
    So the text box says “Click here for more Info”.
    Can’t click to execute Action Script, I think it is not
    addressable because it’s nested in the button.
    If I reverse the nesting then the text box in the over frame
    won’t execute.

    Sorry, a bit chaotic and i can't really get your arrangement.
    Please upload what you have so far, we will go from there.
    There is so many ways to achieve the same thing in flash that
    there
    is no point going into it, could turn up suggested solution
    totally

  • Having trouble adding new collection in ibooks?

    Hi
    I am having trouble a adding a new collection in ibooks.  When I click on "+New Collection" it disappears and the keyboard does not pop up and then seems to freeze.  It was working fine yesterday and only encountered this problem this morning.
    Has anyone else had this problem or know how I go about fixing it?
    Thank you!

    The problem is not thru TWC... I can access my account in Outlook and also by Webmail.
    The problem is on the Iphone 4 (I had no problem on my 3G). Like I said, the settings I have entered are the same as the settings for the other 4 accounts. The only portion of the setup that I cannot access during the "failed" setup is the "Advanced" where I can turn SSL off and confirm password authentication.

  • Error in action script and button

    I have a page that i have designed for practice. i have three
    buttons on each page and have been tring to get them to link to the
    proper page/frame. For instance the button for ABOUT US should link
    to the second page/frame. The code i am using is as follows.
    on (release) {gotoAndStop(2);
    This should have it go to page/frame 2 and stop but when i
    test it it gives me this error.
    Scene 1, Layer 'about', Frame 1, ... 1087: Syntax error:
    extra characters fou... on (release) {gotoAndStop(2);
    I am using action script 1.0 & 2.0. I am not sure what to
    do.

    The way that this function is written, on (release), it
    should be
    directly attached to a button or movieClip instance. However,
    the
    gotoAndStop(2) command is telling the button or clip to go to
    frame 2,
    not the main timeline. If you change that line to
    _parent.gotoAndStop(2), you'll get the playback head on the
    main
    timeline to move, not the playback head in that button or
    clip.
    A far better method is to assign instance names to each
    button or
    movieClip that you want to react to actionscript. Then you
    can write the
    function(s) for those instance names. You would write the
    actionscript
    to a frame instead of directly on the button or clip. This
    makes the
    actionscript much easier to find when you need to edit.
    So, for instance, you could then write a set of functions to
    move the
    playback head. Something like this:
    // we'll assume that the buttons are named button1, button2,
    button3
    button1.onRelease = function() {
    gotoAndStop(X);
    button2.onRelease = function() {
    gotoAndStop(Y);
    button3.onRelease = function() {
    gotoAndStop(Z);
    // where X,Y and Z are the frame numbers that you want to
    move to
    // you don't need an explicit reference for the timeline for
    the
    playback head to use here. The code and the objects are all
    on the same
    timeline.
