Help making a preloader

I've been following tutorials on how to put a preloader
before a Flash movie, but it's not working for me and I think I
know why, just not how to fix it.
My scene is already built, so I'm suppose to add another
scene and add that whole "ifFrameLoaded ("movie", 100)" thing. My
problem (I think) is that the movie scene is just one frame with a
movie symbol in that frame. So basically, my actionscript would be
("movie",1), but that doesn't work. So is there a way to tell it to
load the symbol instead of the scene? Or is there a way to "step
backwards" so that my movie symbol becomes a scene.
Please help! (Or let me know if this makes no sense).

If I'm following the goal, I would think that the following line would be all you need, making use of the percentDone variable already available...
Preloader_MC.gotoAndStop(Math.round(percentDone*Preloader_MC._totalframes/100));

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.

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?

Eswar M wrote:

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!

Help with a preloader in AS3

Hi,
I upload a website and I have problems with the preloader did it in AS3. It starts after two or three minutes. I have a MC with an animation of 100 frames and the dynamic text of the percent. The preloader is located in the 1 frame to the 10, I mean, first frame with the actions and the other three layers (text, MC and background) with a lenght of 10. The movie has 525 frames. Here is the code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, lodeando);
function lodeando(event:Event):void
          var bytesTotales = stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
          var bytesCargados = stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
          var porcentaje = Math.round(bytesCargados * 100 / bytesTotales);
          textoPorcentaje.text = porcentaje + "% Cargados";
          cargaAnimada_mc.gotoAndStop(porcentaje);
          if (bytesCargados == bytesTotales)
                    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, lodeando);
                    gotoAndPlay(2);
                    textoPorcentaje.text = "";
                    removeChild(textoPorcentaje);
                    removeChild(cargaAnimada_mc);
Please, Could you help me?.

These screen captures show the library of the movie. As you can see I export the most of them. However I have doubts about if I must convert to symbol the graphics. I have the preloader in the "presentación" folder without any exportation.
Please, Could you correct the website?. Please, tell me an e-mail address and I send you the website via WeTransfer.

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.'

Help with Flex preloading and transitions please

I downloaded and installed Flex Builder 3, and I think I have
my slideshow project about 75% finished. It's the last 25% that I
can't figure out, regarding preloading and transitions. Can someone
take a look at the code below and see if you can help me? I tried
to write the code in such a way that you can debug it from any
computer as it's calling an PHP/XML file and images that are on a
server.
Here's what's finished...
1. PHP file looks at image files on server and builds XML
file.
2. Flex app calls PHP file and traverses the XML in the
response.
3. Flex app figures out how many "slides" there and displays
the slides one at a time, each slide with 3 images, with a 5 second
delay between "slides."
Here's what's not finished...
1. I would like a fade-out to white at the end of each slide,
and a fade-in from white at the beginning of each slide.
2. I need each slide to stay put intil the next slide is
pre-loaded. That is, during the 5 seconds that a slide is
displayed, the next 3 images need to be preloaded, and then the
slide should not progress to the next until slide is completely
loaded.
3. The very first slide should not appear until it is
completely loaded, and when it does appear, it should fade in from
white.
How do I do this?!? Please help! Here's the code...

oXML.slide[iSlide].photo[2]["@filepath"]);
iSlide++;
if (iSlide >= oXML.children().length())
iSlide = 0;
PhotoA.load("

oXML.slide[iSlide].photo[0]["@filepath"]);

iSlide++;
if (iSlide >= oXML.children().length())
iSlide = 0;
setInterval(ChangeImages,5000);
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>

What you've done is beyond my capabilities, as of now. But, I
ran into the same problem with the fading in and out of the photos.
Here's my solution.
I defined my fade with only the id and the duration
parameters. No 'from' and 'to'.
Then I used the 'showEffect' and 'hideEffect' parameters.
showEffect="{bannerFade}" hideEffect="{bannerFade}"
Works like a charm for my project.
I hope this helps.

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.
Here are some screen grabs of what I am doing

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.

Help with Page Preloader

I have a legacy application that has been working fine with
<cfflush> to act as a preloader for display a large amount of
records. However, I am being forced to port this application
(currently in frames) over to a new template that usese tables
& nested tables. The portion of this new template that I can
put my content is now buried within a nested table and from what I
read, cfflush will not work with this since it won't display any
information until that portion of the table is loaded. What can I
do? I have tried a couple Javascript page preloaders, but they are
not working. I was not the original developer of this code and
really don't want to rewrite it. Any help would be much
appreciated.

Too bad you aren't still in frames, there is a real sneaky
way of doing a preloader in Frames for this exact situation.
One way of doing this that is a bit clunky but with tables it
may be your only way, is to put javascript at the bottom of the
page that opens a 1px by 1px window. This window has the template
that processes your query or whatever. When it is done it writes it
out to the PARENT page (tables page) where you want it.
