Help Me With Creating AutoRun CD Menu

I'm rather new to flash, I know the basics, I can do all the
graphics designs and buttons. I know how to make the menu autorun,
if I had one. I just don't know how to make the buttons open an
.exe or .pdf file when they're in the root directory with the menu.
I'm trying to make the menu be a standalone .exe so that it can
play on computers without flash. Can anyone please link me to a
tutorial or explain how to make a menu open up exe and pdf files,
etc, when everything is in the root directory?
Thanks,
Bill

Help needed with creating HTML email in Dreamweaver

Hi everyone, would really appreciate some help with a dilemma or two that I have.
I have created the following newsletter in Dreamweaver and uploaded it to our website:
http://www.nova-design.co.uk/sales/000030.html
Now, when I go into my email mass mailing client (Handymailer) and send a test out, I encounter a couple of problems.
Firstly, in Outlook when I receive the email, the grey table on the right of the eshot, is crushed and a lot of the single line text is forced to go over two lines...
Secondly, in Hotmail, the table displays fine, but it does say that "This message is too wide to fit your screen. Show full message."
Once I click "Show full message" it displays in full, but I then need to scroll across to the middle of the browser to view the email.
If I left align the newsletter will this problem be solved? Or is there a way in Dreamweaver that I can edit the entire page size so that it's not too wide?
The table is 600px wide so I assumed that any email sent out would shrink to this size.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is the first full HTML email I have sent out so it's going to be far from perfect!

I need to look into using inline css styles, I have no idea how to so need to read up on those.
I created a transparent GIF and placed it, but that moves my text down because the image is in the way? Am I doing that right?
Make the transparent gif 1px high.
Is it the links in the right column that go onto two lines? If so that could be because the links are wider than the actual column itself..so you will have to make column wider.
If you can't sort it, have a look at the code below, copy and paste into a new Dreamweaver document and test out. Inline css styling is used in the code below. I've masked your email so no spam bots get hold of it.

Help needed with creating a script

This is what I try to achieve:
Creating sequentially numbered files (any files) by dragging the original to a folder.
It should work like this:
drag a file ( i.e. myphoto.jpg) to a folder and the script attached to that folder would duplicate the file and number it (myphoto001.jpg)
I can't get it to work... does anyone know of a ready-made script or is willing to advise on how-to?
Thanks for feedback.

Hello
Here's some script you may try.
(Copy code from this web page, not from subscribed email text, for I escaped some characters for posting.)
Broadly speaking, it will do what you wish. But not exactly as you described.
A few things to note.
• It will rename file 'image1.jpg' to 'image1.001.jpg', e.g., (note period between 'image1' and '001') in order to make script simple.
(If the file name is 'image1' without extension, it will be renamed to, e.g., 'image1.001._' by adding dummy extension '_' in order to make script simple and consistent)
• It will move the file that is drag-n-dropped to the Folder Actioned folder A to an inner sub-folder B and rename the file in B. This is because renaming file in A will trigger the Folder Action, which detects renamed file as newly added file (under OSX), that is problematic.
• If the following script is used as Folder Action, you'll have to drag-n-drop the file with option key down to copy it to the Folder Actioned folder. Without option key held down, the original file will be moved to the folder.
(If the source and destination volumes are different, drag-n-drop will copy the file and there will be no need to use option key. E.g. If Folder Actioned folder resides in an external volume and original files are in an internal volume, simple drag-n-drop will copy the files.)
Please see comments in script for more details.
Hope this may help.
H
--SCRIPT
  Assumptions and behaviours:
    1) The destination folder B where renamed items are stored is in a root folder A.
      • A is determined as the folder where this Folder Action is attached or this droplet resides; and
      • B's name is given as property destinationFolderName in main().
    2) Target file F is moved to B and renamed such that -
      if original name of F is "P.R" (P = name stem, R = extension) and
      the max seq. number in name of the file(s) in B which has the same name stem and extension as F is M,
      F is renamed as "P.Q.R", where Q = M + 1.
      • Number format is given as property numberFormat in main().
      e.g. File named "name1.jpg" will be renamed to "name1.003.jpg",
        if file named "name1.002.jpg" in destination has the max seq. number with the same name stem and extension.
  Usage:
    1) As Folder Action,
      • save this as compiled script and attached it to folder A; and
      • drag-n-drop target files into A and it will move them in folder B and rename them as intended.
      (Use option-drag-n-drop (i.e. copy, not move) to keep the original file or it will be moved and renamed.)
    2) As droplet,
      • save this as application (or application bundle) in folder A; and
      • drag-n-drop target files onto the droplet and it will duplicate them to folder B and rename them as intended.
      (Exception. If target files are in A, they will be moved, not copied, to folder B.)

Help needed with creating Flash game

Hello,
I need to create Flash educational/quiz game for one of my clients. It would be based on concept like these ones for example:
Example 1
http://go.ucsusa.org/game/
Example 2
http://www.zdravlje.hr/igre/stop-aids/
Note: when you open this link you will see two text boxs which you first must fill. On the left side text box "Upišite ime" means "Type your name" and right one "Upišite godinu svog rođenja" means "Year of birth"
What is interesting about this type of games is that they are classic games (for example game Labirint where you have to find way out), but during play pop-up questions starts to appear to test end user knowledge abot certain topic (in example 2 topic is about AIDS/HIV). In case of my client, topic is about Eco environment.
Here is where my trouble starts;) : I found many useful free tutorials how to create simple flash game (most interesting example I found is this one http://www.strille.net/tutorials/snake/index.php) BUT I dont know how make that system of popup questions appear during game similar to Example 1 and Example 2?
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance for promt reply.
Greetings,
Adnan

Update: I have just read all instructions in Snake tutorial which helped be better realize how Snake game works.
a) This is what I plan to realize for my client:
1. Snake game which end users will play and during play pop-up/quiz quesions will appear on topic Eco environment;
2. For example when end user earns 50 points he must answer some of the random questions like "Q:How many ton of waste are produced by US livestock each year" with three answers A1: "1 milion" A2: "1 bilion" A3: "2 bilion" and after user scores 100 points then another question pops up and so on. This is all true if all answers are correct but in case he answer some question wrong than game can start from begining or another solution could be he looses -50 or -100 points.
3. At the end, user which gains most points wins.
b) This is what I have done till now:
I have this file http://www.strille.net/tutorials/snake/snakeGameWithHighscore.zip which I partly understand how it works with my Flash knowladge.
All functions and main game engine is in layer code:
"// Snake Game by Strille, 2004, www.strille.net

keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
    var keyCode = Key.getCode(); // get key code
    if (keyCode > 36 && keyCode < 41) { // arrow keys pressed (37 = left, 38 = up, 39 = right, 40 = down)...
        if (playRec) {
            if (keyCode == 37 && replaySpeed > 1) {
                replaySpeed--;

Now what is left to do is somehow to iclude educational quiz in this game/code. First idea that came to me is same thing Ned suggested: to create some unique movie clip which would contain all data/questions lined up but main problem for me is how to "trigger" that movie clip to play only AFTER end user clicks on "Start game" or SPACE to restart? Not sure how to solve this issue?

Help! with creating a J2ME program using the http connectivity interface

So this is what I have to do using the http connectivity interface:
1.Creating two threads – one for communication (receiving and sending) and the other (main) thread will be for interaction with the user.
2.The main thread will make use of three midlet forms. The first form will ask for web page address (URL) and separately for a delimiter which will separate the words in the URL document, the third form will display the ratio of all symbols on the page and the number of occurrences of the delimiter specified
3.The second thread should perform http connectivity to the WWW, utilise the web page address supplied and connect to the appropriate web page and read its content, count all symbols on the chosen page, count the number of occurrences of the delimiter given as user input on the same form as the web page address, calculate the ratio between the two and pass this information to the first thread to display.
I have many questions but my main concerns are:
*1. How to communicate using HTTP interface within a thread*
*2. What is a delimiter in the context above and how should it be implemented*
I've been thrown in at the deep end with little programming experience with this assignment. If anyone can share a similar example or answer my concerns I'd be more than happy.
Thanks in advance.

hi thanks for the response.
As I said I have coded in other languages before, but this is a new for me in java. I needed to get it working quickley. Now I can clean up.
I will have a look at method and see how I get on.
ANy similiar examples would be great.
Thanks.I can certainly give you a similar example.
Say you have code such as this:
int a = 10, b = 11;
int temp = 1;
for(int i = 2; i < a; ++i) {
temp *= i;
System.out.println(a + " factorial is " + temp);
temp = 1;
for(int i = 2; i < b; ++i) {
temp *= i;
System.out.println(b + " factorial is " + temp);Each section of code takes the factorial of the current variable an outputs it. The factorial code can be placed within a method to be called more easily, as such:
public void factorial(int num) {
int temp = 1;
for(int i = 2; i < num; ++i) {
temp *= i
System.out.println(num + " factorial is " + temp);
}Then, whenever you need to call it, you can just do so:
int a=10,b=11,c=12;
factorial(a);
factorial(b);
factorial(c);

Help needed with CSS drop down menu

Hi guys,
I'm trying to build a drop down menu for my site but, despite seeing a few tutorials and examples, I've had no luck yet!
I'm pretty sure my HTML is correct...
Code:
    <ul id="nav">
    <li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 3</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#">Drop Down 1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Drop Down 2</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Drop Down 3</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Drop Down 4</a></li>
            </ul>
        </li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 4</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 5</a></li>
    </ul>
My CSS looks like this at the moment...
Code:
ul#nav {width:920px; height:35px; list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0; background:url(navBg.jpg) repeat-x; font-family:'OpenSansRegular'; font-size:11px; font-weight:700; text-transform:uppercase; -moz-box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c; -webkit-box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c; box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c; z-index:999;}
ul#nav li a:hover, #nav li a:active {background:url(navOn.jpg) repeat-x; text-decoration:none;}

ul#nav li ul li a:hover {background-color:#028efd; background-image:none; color:#FFF;}
I'm really struggling with this. Does anyone know how I can get Menu 3 to display the four drop down items beneath it - not the same width as the Menu 3 button but just inline with it.
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
SM

Try this. It's been adapted from a menu I previously made on another site.

Please help start with creating venn diagram

I was wondering if anyone can give me suggestions on what type of java functionalities, resources, etc. to look up for creating a venn diagram application. I want to be able to click on regions and have it highlight and unhighlight. I also want to be able to drag and move circles around the canvas or window. Previously, I had just drawn on a canvas set circles at set locations; then, I had to go through many calculations just to get the area of the two circle overlap. There has to be an easier way... especially when getting to 3 or more circles, calculations would be more complicated. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, the AWT-package contains much useful stuff regarding this topic!

Help please with creating IF routines

Hi,
I am currently trying to create a grading system for my class at school. I have a few ideas of what I would like to create, and was wondering if anybody could help me a bit.
What I am trying to do is enter test scores into one spread sheet, and then, if a child scores below 87, his name would automatically go into a chart on a second sheet, so that I could monitor the children I need to pay attention to. We test the children twice a year, and so if his score improves he would be taken off the second sheet of course but I would also like on another sheet a record of each child who has ever been on 'special measures'. Thanks in advance if anyone could help in any way.

Hi - thanks for your interest. I did not consider this - My initial thought as far as the 'ever' children are concerened was that it would be handy to note that a child at one time had been under 'special measures'. Having said that - it would be even better I suppose if it was possible to note the date and score which caused him to be on that list. But thinking further -how would you handle a child that was continually on that special measures list? Hmmmm. You have given me more to consider!!!
By the way - my memory isn't that bad - that I would forget this info - it is just that we intend to role this idea out school wide eventually - and that each year in school has their own sheet! So it would be handy for a teacher of a 11 year old could for example not that at one time he was under special measures.

Help with creating basic menu using AS

i am working on a portfolio site for my friend who is a
photographer and am looking to create a basic menu that when any
menu item is moused over it enlarges and the other menu items move
to make room for this enlarged menu item. i have tried to show this
in the attached image.
it would be much appreciated if someone could offer me some
assistance or tips. thank you.
Link
to preview example

Hello and welcome to the forums,
What I would do there is use something like "Tweener", found
at
http://code.google.com/p/tweener/.
This is built to work with AS 2.0 and 3.0. You could also use Mc
Tween, found at
http://hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween/.
I am most comfortable with Mc Tween, I just haven't had time to
look at Tweener. Basically it would work something like the
following....
What the code does is when you rollover the menu item, it
will scale to 110% of its original size and when you rollout it
scales to 100%...
In order to use mc tween, you have to download and install
the extenstion first.
Once you've done that you will be all set... but if you plan
on eventually using AS 3.0, check out Tweener.
HTH,
Doug

My search bar for my library no longer works. Also, the menu bar is no longer visible. Noticed this problem last Saturday. Can anyone help me with this?

My search bar for my iTunes library no longer works. Also, the menu bar is no longer visible. Noticed this problem last Saturday. This might be an issue with my desktop, and not iTunes itself Can anyone help me with this?

Press Ctrl-B to toggle the menu bar on and off.
When you say that the "search bar for my iTunes library no longer works" can you be more specific? The operation of the search function has changed in iTunes 12, essentially having two very distinct modes:
when Search Entire Library is checked, entering a search string will generate a dropdown of all matching items within your whole library, from which multiple operations are available via context menus
when Search Entire Library is unchecked, entering a search string creates a filtered view of whatever your current focus is (e.g., if you're looking at a playlist the filter applies only to items in that playlist) with none of the dropdown options as in the first case
