Help Making a Countdown

hey everyone, this is pretty much my first time using
ActionScript and I am having a couple of problems that im hoping
someone could help me with. Im trying to make a file that will
basically countdown from 4 minutes to zero displaying minutes,
seconds, and milliseconds. They way that i went about doing it
(which may be way more complicated than i need) was to get the
current date and then add four minutes to it. It would then
countdown from that point. The more i think about it though, the
more that i realize that this is basically a loop in which every
time it runs through it will get the new current date and then add
4 minutes to that, so it would never be counting down. Im not
really sure if that is what is happening and what the solution to
it would be. Here is the code that I have been working with, thanks
for all your help in advance!

Here's a countdown script that I found somewhere online. You
should be able to manipulate it to do what you want (change the
hundredths to thousandths) unless it is fine as is (using
hundredths). Note that in this code as soon as it reaches the zero
count, it advances to frame 2 to exit the enterFrame looping. Since
your new to AS, you oughta study it and see how to adapt it to the
way you approached it... you may find you weren't too far off (I
haven't looked into your code specifically).

Help making a Install USB of os x 10.4.6. for my Macbook 1.8ghz

Hi,
I need help making the USB install of os Tiger.
The drive is having trouble reading the install disc I own so I am trying to make a USB install of it.
I wantto install from the usb not install to it to be clear.
Things I have!
X1 8gig sandisk flash drive
1 Macbook white 1.8 ghz Intel
1 Pc with Macdrive 7
1 Install disc that seems to have trouble being read in the drive > few marks on the disc and the mac DVD drive make lots of noise reading it but
It will go to Disk utilities.
Seems to be a bug in Tiger and restore doesn’t seem to work as in I can’t drag and drop a source to the restore the DVD to the flash drive.
I already tried only 1 time to copy the DVD to the formatted flash drive using Macdrive and it read it as a bootable drive but the apple simple came up
And then I got a the error (Can’t find driver for this platform error APCH or something like that.
I have a torrent download of OS x 10.4.6 as well just in case some files are corrupted > I own the disk so it’s not illegal.
I am new to mac but long time user of PC.

Ok ..you need another Mac to make this work!
you just use another mac even a old one like g4 to make a restore to a flash drive that you have formatted and verified.

I need help making Adobe Edge animation appear correctly on iphones, ipads and android phones.

I need help making Adobe Edge animation appear correctly on iphones, ipads and android phones. It currently looks fine on desktops and androids. I am using wordpress with a responsive theme (Canvas). I will need you to document The url is http://adamhtc.org.s183459.gridserver.com.

Thanks George, interesting thought. I looked on Adobe's site and they "advertise" fillable forms for the iPhone and Android markets, but on the Windows Phone tab, that is mysteriously missing. lol Maybe it will come later? Meanwhile, I'll google to see if there are any PDF viewers that can handle it now. Thanks for the reply. :-)

Help making a logon page

I need help making a simple logon page in Dreamweaver MX. I
have tried Visual Basic. and several other methods to no avail. If
someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated
Ron Hansen

Hi Ron
The proceedure is pretty much the same in
PHP/Coldfusion/JSP/ASP.
There is a very easy to follow example in the Dreamweaver
Help File.
Just go to Help-->Developing Applications Rapidly -->
Building pages that restrict access to your site (ColdFusion, ASP,
JSP, PHP) --> Building a login page
I don't think it can get much easier. But remember that you
will need to have a database table of user details in place to
complete the process.
Good luck.

Help making a clock

Hey,
I was hoping to get some help making a clock update for me, but I don't want just to show the actual date, I know how to do that. What I want is to be able to set a time, and then the clock start running from then. For instance, after I enter Jan 3rd, 2005 at 3:43 as my time and date, I want the clock to start from there and update every second. Does that make sense?
Could someone help me out where to look to get this to happen? Thanks!

I think the OP wants to be able to set a time OTHER
than the current time. He doesn't want to wait
untill the time you entered to have the clock tick,
he wants to have it tick immediately from the "fake"
time that you've entered.
At least that's how I understood him. The offset is
the difference between the real time and the fake
time entered by the user.
If he just wants to display the current time, but not
stat doing that untill some point in the future then
yeah TimerTask is the simplest way to do it, but I
don' think that's what he's trying to do.thanks for the replies guys. I appreciate it. Sorry if I was a bit unclear. Norweed was right in saying that I want to set the time and start updating immediately, not wait until the time reaches my entered time and then count. Sorry for the confusion.
I was thinking that a offset would work, thanks for recommending that. I'm wondering if the time will get off after a while, I need this program to run probably arounnd 2-3 hours. Hopefully it won't drift very much over that time.
Thanks all for the recommendations and I will check all that out.

Help Making a Ringtone!

Hi,
I can't seem to make any ringtones for more than the first 15 seconds of a song in garageband. I know the songs I am trying to use are unprotected because they are recordings of me playing jazz and we didn't protect them, they are in mp3 format. But I can't get mp3 mp4a or AAc format to play more than the first 15 secs. I tried tuneclone, mp3 converter and everything. All i want to do is create a ringtone of a song. please help.

FCE helps making better quality videos than imovie?

I have been using iMovie HD and it looks like its corrupted and cannot re-install it since I lost the disk image.
I am thinking of going to FCE over upgrading to iLife 09.
Does FCE helps making better quality videos than imovie?

if your source is miniDV/Standard - yes.
if your source is 720p or iFrame - no.
in terms of speed and simplicity - iM09 is 'better'.
in terms of options and feature - FCE is by far superior.
note: iM09 is no 'upgrade' of your version, but a from ground off new app.
another note: FCE has a very steem learning curve, but after managing that is a fantastic tool!

Helping making countdown in Motion 3

Hello I am trying to make a new years countdown in motion 3. I tried using the Templete "Clockwork" from motion library and set the timing to 1:00 in the inspector. The problem is after 10 seconds the template disappears. Also what is the best way to Make numbers countdown in motion from 60-1? Do I have to set a new for each second in motion? Any help would be appreciated

I see so if I do a 60 second countdown I will have to have 60 text tracks.
That seems like a lot for a project like this..is there a easier faster way?
It's only "a lot" if you don't need the control and fun of controlling the elements. You can build a timecode countdown in FCP, export it, and mask out everything except the numbers you want. You can use After Effects. Or, as noted, you can purchase third party filters or use Flash. Motion's a difficult application to grasp for your first hundred projects.

Needing help making a Slideshow in Premiere 7

Back in 2008 several contributors on this forum helped me make a slideshow using Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4, which I am forever grateful for. It was a long process as I had never made a slideshow before, but after much labor I created a wonderful slideshow of my Alaska photos with music. After a lot of reading I decided to upgrade to Elements and Premiere 7, which I was able to actually do for free. I purchased the Muvipix.com Guide to Adobe Premiere Elements 7 as I was told this would be a great resource to help me out. Well, here I am two years later trying to make a slideshow again and still as confused as ever. I am trying to make the slideshow in Adobe Premiere Elements, as I was told last time it was easier to do it that way if I wanted to add music to it. I am just getting started and am already confused.
My first question is: Am I best off making the slide show in Premiere Elements rather than Photoshop Elements? I want to add music to it.
I have tried using both the book that came with the program and the Muvipix book and I am lost on step one.
In the Adobe manual it says to deselect the Show Video and Show Audio buttons. Why do I need to deselect these?
In the Muvipix book it tells me to select a number of clips amd then either right-click on them or click on the ">>" button to access the "Create Slideshow" too. I can't find the ">>" button. How do I access the the "Create Slideshow" feature?
I have a question about the stills that show up in the panel. Many actual photos appear in this panel. However, there are also a large group of boxes with two swirling arrows, one green and one red. Why are they there rather than actual photos? I have tried double clicking on a few and they all bring up the same photo folder from "my pictures." I am confused.
Sorry if my questions seem very basic, but this is not what I do for a living. It is a once every couple of year hobby. Perhaps if I ever get it downpat I will do it more often.
Thanks for any help you can give me. I am sure I will need a little more handholding. I have been looking for the last two years for a class on this program. I know that is what I need. However, none have been available in my area.

Thanks for the response Steve. I am hoping it will be easier this time around.
"If you're seeing empty boxes with swirling arrows in them instead of your photos in the Project panel, it means that the program no longer has access to the photos -- either because they were moved or the device that they were on (your camera?) was disconnected from the computer. You really need to copy these photos to your computer's hard drive if you're going to use them in a project"
These photos were still on the harddrive. I checked in Photoshop Elements and they needed to get reconnected. Here is what I think happened. When I download my photos, they go into MY PICTURES. When I move them from where they automatically get placed by the program, into a folder of my choice, they seem to get "unconnected". I was able to reconnect them and now they appear in Premiere Elements. Thanks for the tip which actually led me to a solution.
"There are actually at least four different ways to make a slideshow in Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements. Each has advantages. Which method are you using? (In all cases, as I say in my book, you should make sure your photos are sized to no larger than 1000x 750 pixels in size before you begin.)"
I am just starting and I was using Premiere Elements 7. I thought I was told back in 2008 on this forum it was easier to do it all in Premiere Elements if I wanted to add music rather than creating it in Photoshop Elements and then moving it to Premiere. As far as photo size, I am a real beginner here. I have no idea what size they are or where to look to find that out. All I know is that my Alaska slideshow turned out great and did nothing about changing pixels. Where would I find out how to change pixel size?
"It sounds like you're using the Create Slideshow tool in the Project media panel. (As I say in Chapter 1, you'll only be able to see the >> menus if you go to the Window drop-down menu and select Show Docking Headers.) You can also access this tool by selecting all of the photos you want to include in the Project panel and right-clicking on them."
I did read about Show Docking Headers and did follow that instruction. That was the first thing I did, actually. However, when I am in Premiere ELements, I still don't see where I find the Create Slideshow tool that you mention on p. 59. I am a bit confused with this option. I can move the photos I want from the panel to the Timeline, but I am confused as to where the "Create Slideshow Tool" is located.
Thanks again for your help.I know I will get this done, just very slowly.

Help making a list of missing/not working features

Since Adobe isn't talking why not help me make a list of features that aren't in Premiere anymore as well as one's promised for premiere CS4 but aren't there until it's updated.
No AAF
No single click save stills - AECS4 still has this
No more stream hinting in quicktime
HDV and AVCHD audio synch problems
Track Matte effect doesn't work
Media browser doesn't preview 24p correctly,
XML to Final Cut doesn't work
No OMF
No edit with Audition,
No 3rd party codecs - Cineform, Quicktime dvcproHD, Blackmagic, Raylight
Have to 'Interpret Footage' for 24p and 24pa
These just off the top of my head and not bug related issues listed here http://premierepro.wikia.com/wiki/Known_Issues

Here's another one from November 13th.
'Good morning one & all,
We've been cranking out code with the RED team, lining up for the same schedule.
Next week we'll ship a full native workflow for RED in Premiere Pro CS4, After Effects CS4 and even Encore CS4 (the RED to Blu workflow).
We've come a long way since the IBC demos --- more performance, more stability, more options, and tuning it to CS4 which is architected for 64 bit systems so that you can stuff it full of memory and get that smooth as butter experience.
Import your R3D files, change resolution on the fly, pop into full resolution for some detail work, drop all the way down to 1/16th for fast cuts on a laptop --- it's all there.
We're right up to 2K at full performance with the latest drop.
Oh, and did I mention that we're working the RED gang on exposing more control on the realtime de-bayering ? ... and of course with Assimilate on making it a full, clean, raw end to end workflow ?
Expect the importer to be posted with RED and linked from Adobe before Thanksgiving. Nov 20th is looking like the date (not that dates ever change).
Many thanks to our beta-testers ... you've been awesome turning things around and helping us shape the future.
It's cool.
It's Christmas come early.
Enjoy.'

Need Help making a navigation menu for a website

Alright so I've been having some problems getting this to work correctly. I am making a navigation menu for a website and I'm trying to get when I hover over the main header a drop down appears animated of course below it. I also want when you highlight a specific text line for it to highlight blue along with a rectangle behind it to change to a lighter shade of red.
Some of the problems I have been running into is play and stop commands on mouseover and them not stopping when they should and getting the text to change color.
Thanks for the help.

Your page's code is still a bit of a wreck. Do you ever look at it?
<html>
<style type="text/css">#p7MBM_1 {
width: 951px;
You need a doctype first - I recommend HTML4.01 Transitional. Open this (and other pages) in DW and use FILE | Convert > HTML 4.01 Transitional, then save. But wait until you do the other changes recommended below before doing this.
Add a <head> tag below the <html> tag.
Add a <title> tag below the <head> tag.
Add this below the <title> tag - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Add </head> below this -
<style type="text/css">

</style>
You may want to change that font-family style to "Goudy Old Style, Geneva, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif", since Goudy is not web safe.
Move <body> below that </head> you just added.
That will clean your code up a bit. Let's look at the page again when you have done these.

I need help making a pie chart

Hello, hoping for some help with making a chart that will update as i continually input data
I have a chart that has many columns logging details of win/loss records. I would like to make a pie chart that represents a set of columns and shows the ratio of wins for each of the columns.
I will try and give some better details. There are 5 columns (j,k,l,m,n) and each represents a color. In each column there are check-boxes. 1 or more will be checked on each row. On the same row there is a tally of wins. each row represents a different day. What I am looking for is a pie chart that shows how many wins i have in each color.
for example.
nov 1st: 5 wins in color J
nov 2nd: 2 wins in color k
nov 3rd: 4 wins in colors m and n
the pie chart will contain a total of 15 'wins' split up on the chart between each color....... 5(j) + 2(k) + 4(m) + 4(n). theoretically the J should take up 1/3rd of the pie and so on.
I also have a total at the bottom of the colors column, but this will not show which color got the wins.
Hopefully this makes some sense to understand and if I am very fortunate someone much smarter then me will be generous enough to help me out.
Thank you very much, all help is appreciated.

Hi Anthony,
This table may be what you want. I added a row at the top (you don't need that row. It is just may way of getting around the poor screen shots in this forum).
I hid some columns, then I copied the table and pasted directly into this reply (I have had it with screen shots ).
A
F
J
K
L
M
N
Date
Wins
Colour J
Colour K
Colour L
Colour M
Colour N
Nov 1
1
TRUE
Nov 2
1
TRUE
Nov 3
2
TRUE
TRUE
Checkboxes show as TRUE (not a tick) in this pasted table. But a tick = TRUE .
Formula in F3 (Wins, Nov 1)
=COUNTIF(J3:N3,"=TRUE")
I hope this helps with your pie chart.
Regards,
Ian.
