Help a newbie with her timeline

(Something to keep in mind: I learned Flash 7 a few years ago
(quite in depth, actually) but forgot it all. Just recently, I have
picked up a tutorial book and have kind-of gotten back into it. I
know the basics, but be gentle in your advice.)
I need help! I have created an interactive flash animation on
our company's landing page that shows you how the product exercises
the muscles. I am having trouble with my timeline, I beleive.
Check it out here, bottom of right column:
Flash
Animation In Need of Help
Ideally, what I want to happen is the individual movie clips
will spin and then stop. Once you click on them, it will show you a
close up of a figure and highlight what muscles that exercise uses.
Then, once you click on the next exercise, the one you were on will
go back to a static (non-spinning) image of the exercise and will
stay that way, no matter whether you skip around or go from first
to last exercise (this only makes sense if you look at the above
link).
Right now I have one flash file that contains 4 movie
clips/buttons (each of the exercises).They are in their seperate
layers in the first frame. In each layer, there is the first movie
clip (spinning) in frame 1; in the next frame I have the movie clip
that highlights the muscle groups which plays once you click on the
first movie clip. Directly after this, in the next frame, I have a
button/jpg of the original exercise that does not spin, but when
clicked will take you to the highlighted movie clip. The frames are
stacked, so that each of the highlighting clips are one frame
further down the line than the layer on top of it, so they don't
play at the same time.
Therein lies my problem. For example, if you click on the
last exercise, then click on the second exercise, the exercises
beneath it spin because on the second layer, the highlighting movie
clip is on the same frame as these movie clips' spinning image (if
that doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll show you an image of
my timeline).
What I need help on is how to keep this from happening.
Again, this all might not make much sense, but please ask me if you
need further clarification.
ANY ideas?

I think you've answered your own question José!
The page is deeper than your monitor screen size (it doesn't move on my monitor set at 1350deep) and is producing a scroll bar at the right which bumps the page in to accommodate the bar size.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't keep swapping iTunes accounts to use other people's apps or you will locked out of changing back to your own account. I'm not sure how you can help her with her apps from another device.

Help a newbie with Keyboard events

Right so I'm just getting started with ActionScript (and Flash) and I'm getting a bit confused. I've got quite a bit of experience programming in other languages but I've never touched either actionscript or flash before.
I've got various books and have tried searching around the internet but I can't find anything to help me with this problem... it looks to me like it SHOULD work (but obviously I'm wrong because it doesn't!) I'm just trying to get the base for a game set up, and want to be able to take in user input via the keyboard (I will want mouse control as well, but let's focus on this problem first).
My code is:
package {
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.ui.Keyboard;
    public class Main extends MovieClip
        var isRunning:Boolean = true;
        public function Main()
            trace("Flash Project!");
            Initialize();
            //Game Loop
            while(isRunning)
                Update();
            trace("Exiting...");
        public function Initialize():void
            trace("Initializing!");
            stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, OnKeyPressed);
        public function Update():void
            trace("Updating...");
        public function OnKeyPressed(evt:KeyboardEvent):void
            switch (evt.keyCode)
                case Keyboard.ENTER:
                    trace("Enter!");
                    break;
                case Keyboard.ESCAPE:
                    isRunning = false;
                    break;
                case default:
                    trace("keyCode: ", event.keyCode);
                    break;
The errors it is generating refer to the OnKeyPressed function, and say that I have tried to access the undefined properties Keyboard, escape and default. I thought I imported all the keyboard stuff at the top? Help would be much appreciated here, I'll be fine once I'm up and running but at the moment I'm feeling somewhat lost.

Right, well at least part of my problem was that I had
trace("keyCode: " event.keyCode);
instead of
trace("keyCode: " evt.keyCode);
but it still doesn't like the word "default"? This is strange as it's coming up in blue so it's obviosly recognising it as a keyword...
If I comment out the 'default' section of te switch case statement it get's stuck in an infinite loop, even if I press escape... which should set 'isRunning' false therefore exiting the loop...
Help!

Help this newbie save her film UNSQUASHED before she loses her mind!!

I'm working on my first project in FCP v6. Managed to work out everything except how to get the thing saved at a suitable size without it being SQUASHED.
I've read just about everything I can find about this and tried all sorts of different settings. No joy. Squashed every time, and it takes about 45 minutes to save each 10 minute clip. I've been trying to do this for six weeks! HELP!
It was a mini DV clip and I need to save it for web streaming / YouTube.
I'm exporting using Quicktime conversion.
Can someone please kindly hold my hand?
THANK YOU

first of all:
make an IN (I) and OUT (O) in your timeline for testing a 5sec clip, so you don`t have to render the whole sequence or movie again and again to test the settings we`ll try.
now a few questions:
1) is your sequence playing with the correct settings in fcp? with other words, is it be squashed before or after rendering out the movie?
2) is it 16:9 or 4:3 footage?
3) do you have the Compressor Application in your system?
4) Please right click one clip in your timeline and choose "format" or Object Settings".
Please post again with the answers....

Please help a newbie with simple equal methode

With my little know how of java I have written this methode
to test the equality of two LinkedSet data structures.
provided that the linkedSet class and the iterator are
implemented correctly , can some one help me please to
figure out what is wrong or give an alternate solution.
Thanks in advance
* Return true if this set and the parameter contain
* exactly the same elements
public boolean equals(SetADT setADT) throws IllegalStateException
boolean result=false;
if(this.size()!=setADT.size())
throw new IllegalStateException(" Two sets are not equal");
Iterator a=this.iterator();
Iterator b=setADT.iterator();
LinkedSet temp1=new LinkedSet();
LinkedSet temp2=new LinkedSet();
while(a.hasNext())
temp1.add(a.next());
temp2.add(b.next());
Iterator c=temp1.iterator();
Iterator d=temp2.iterator();
if(c.next().equals(d.next()))
temp1.remove(c.next());
temp2.remove(d.next());
result=(temp1.isEmpty()&&temp2.isEmpty());
return result;

while(a.hasNext())
temp1.add(a.next());
temp2.add(b.next());
Iterator c=temp1.iterator();
Iterator d=temp2.iterator();
if(c.next().equals(d.next())) // <- Watch missing braces !
temp1.remove(c.next());
temp2.remove(d.next());
result=(temp1.isEmpty()&&temp2.isEmpty());
}Whay are you doing all that extra iteration stuff?
I mean, I see what you are getting at ...towards the empty final objects. But isn't that a really exhaustive way the get to the end of this problem? The end doesn't justify the means.
Start assuming result = true
In your while loop...
Just test 'if (!(a.next().equals(b.next())) {'
If it ever does, something didn't match.
So set result = false and 'break' from the loop.
At the end of the method, result will be either true or false accordingly.
Code that up and it should work better. But ...can we assume the iterators traverse the set in the same order always? That is the question I would ask here.

Can anyone help a newbie with "An unknown error (-609)" message?

I just bought my first iPod a week ago and so far, I haven't had any problems with iTunes. But today, I can't get any artwork for CD's I'm importing because of "An unknown error (-609)." I checked, and my iTunes is up to date. Is there anything I can do about this or is this the kind of problem that will come and go on its own?

No. I bought it online. Still can't restore. Pls help me. Thanks!

I am new to all of this Adobe setups and learning computer hardware. So please go easy on me.
First question. What would be the best way to setup my computer for the best performance when using After Effects and Premiere at the same time? I really don't understand this. What's the best options here when I only have 16 GB of RAM?
Second Question. How should I set my drives up? This is what I think to be correct but I would love a second opinion.
And also what's the best way to set this up for Premiere?

Help a newb with setting up Mail.app

Im trying to set up my Mail app with my email account hosted with my shared hosting service.
Ive used mail.app before...but i seem to be running into some issues.
Ive used mail.app with .mac and mobileme email addresses and they functioned properly,my issue is that using the [email protected] doesnt seem to work so smoothly.
For example when i send a message in Mail.app it stores it only in the Mail folder in Mail but in a new folder in webmail called Sent Messages.
I use IMAP for Mail.app and with my iPod Touch (which uses the same EMAIL Address).
When i send messages using the ipod touch i dont get the excess mailboxes and the sent messages/deleted messages etc get routed to the properly mailbox in the ipod touch and Webmail.
These are the extra mailboxes i get when using Mail.app
They show up in both Mail.app and my Webmail.
SOO my question is; How do i properly set it up so i only have these mailboxes:
INBOX
SENT
DRAFTS
TRASH
and that they all tie to gether?
for example; send a message in Mail.app it goes into the Sent folder on both Mail.app and Webmail instead of a bogus Sent Mail folder automatically created.
Any advice please????

Please help a newbie with a video render problem!

Im new to After Effects so please forgive if this is a silly question.
I have a Edge Animation with a background color of #ffa800
I have imported a video into After Affects which has a transparent background.
Research tells me that video is never really transparent so I am creating a solid layer in AE, placing video above it and setting the blend mode to "screen"
I now have a video with a background color of #ffa800.
However, when I export / render the video out and import into my Edge Animate project the background color of the video is off and does not match my Edge Animate background.
I have spent all day experimenting with different export options rendering direct from AE and also via Media encoder. Im now completely stumped.
I have also tried setting the video background to color #ffa800 and then masking my video. This saves me from having to use a blend mode of "screen" but I get the exact same results.
Could anybody please give me some tips on where I am going wrong please. The back ground is so close but either slightly darker or lighter depending on what I have set which spoils the overall animation effect I am attempting to create.
Thanks,
Paul

Without exact system information, render settings and so on nobody can tell you much. That aside, there are some fundamental failures in your plan. First, web colors mean nothing in AE or in most graphics programs for that matter due to the little subject of color management and possible quantization errors. Whatever colors you dial in, do so using the normal RGB sliders. Second, blending modes do not create transparency, even if for mathematical reasons the blending formula used may appear to eradicate certain colors. Third, you need to consider Gamma values. Video is not blending linear and both your computer screen as well as the video content itself may have a built-in Gamma. As a result, your blending operation could already produce wrong results like a slight haze, the encoding of the video file could introduce Gamma skew and then finally in the last step, whatever tool you use to display may apply dynamic corrections as well or in reverse, none at all. So it basically comes down to checking those things and properly calibrating/ adjusting your monitor and your system color settings and make use of color management in AE, if relevant. In the end, though, you will always see minor color deviations. It's inherent in how compressed formats like H.264 work. You can only try to minimize them as much as you can.

Help this newbie with a 1067 error code on a SIMPLE ActionScript please

Hi, I am new to this. I am creating a presention in flash and I want to link to the narration mp3 files as oppsed to embedding them as they will change in the future..
I have two different books with 2 different pieces of script to use though the overall process is the pretty much same. For both I get the exact same error.
See below:
1120: Access of undefined property nar1.

Thanks Ned.
It's the posting. I had a nice little post written up for my initial request but when I posted-it truncated and I had to retype everything (it's the kind of morning I am having ) I will fix my typing.
I suppose I could add the mp3 files to the library and update that way but I was hoping to set the files up so that files could be overwritten as the slides were changed or swapped out without the extra steps.

HELP ME GUYS WITH CREDIT ADVICE FOR NEWBIE

Thanks for reading! I just want to ask you guys, I'm looking to help my girlfriend open her first credit card. I have plenty with all of the creditors and I began with Capital One. I believe at that time I had my student loan reporting though. She has nothing on her report aside from a few inquiries (AT&T and a few store card HPs). She said some of her friends have been approved for a low CL Discover It card. I don't know if there is a Discover It offering for newbies or if they must just have something on their report. I recommended she get a Cap1 card. That way she can have her son on the card image and I know that since I've heard they triple pull they're pretty leanient. What do you guys think? Any advice on what secured card she should get should it come to that? Thanks very much again!

Do NOT cosign for your girlfriend. If you break up, your finances could get messy.
Have her apply for an It card, they love clean, thin files. If that fails, go for a secured Boa card or Cap One credit steps. Maybe make her an AU on an Amex of yours to build history (you can artificially set a limit to limit your liability).Amex is the one I called first about AU and then Citi. I almost did it with Citi because surprisingly the rep for Amex wasn't very helpful. Should I (she) even be concerned with inquiries when she literally has no score anyway? Do they really impact a score that doesn't exist or do they hurt a score once one becomes available. The whole thing is I was just concerned that we'd apply for stuff and she woulnd't get approved and that she'd have another senseless inquiry. As I said, she already has several.

Newbie Help - 5th gen with no stuff!

Hello all - I recently got a 5th gen iPod from a friend that owed me $$ and all i got was the unit (black/silver - 30GB). Besides a charger, headphones, etc - what do I need to join the revolution? I am totally new to this but feel that this iPod is the bees knees. Any help with software, connections, videos, etc? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for helping a newbie out!
New? Windows XP DuLL desktop

Well the main thing you need, besides headphones, is a dock cable to plug the iPod into your computer. You can then put stuff on the iPod with that cable and the cable also charges the iPod from the USB port.
One nice product out there is Griffin's Powerblock which can be seen here...
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerblock/
$30 and can be bought at places like Best Buy. The nice thing about this is that not only is it a charger that plugs into the wall and gives you a standard USB port to charge your iPod and any other USB chargable devices without needing a computer (great for traveling), Griffin was even kind enough to include an iPod USB Dock cable that you need anyway.
In the meantime, if you haven't already, download and install iTunes on your computer and start importing your CD library into it.
