Help!!! Why Don't symbols play in the timeline?

I have limited Flash experience in CS 3 and 4 but I got CS 5 and built an animated movie symbol and I tried everything I could think of but it would not play in the main timeline. To sum it up the animations and tweens work in the symbol but they do not appear in the main timeline. Please help!

JDunlop,
thanks for your quick reply to my java.sun.com forum posting! i just got back from vacation, so i didn't get a chance to try your method til now. i pulled your email address off the website to update you on my problem playing an avi file in JMStudio (JMF).
as per your instructions, i downloaded the divx player at www.divx.com and tried to play the avi file. this is the error the divx player gives:
Divx Player 2.1
The file contains unknown video data
The file contains the following type of data:
Video data: FOURCC code "MP42"
You may need to install a new video codec on your computer to watch this video
Some quick questions:
1. Where could I find the "MP42" codec to play my avi file in JMStudio (JMF)? Does java.sun.com have video codecs?
2. You mentioned in your posting "If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck." Does this mean that I need to know how the avi file was originally coded and have the original codec to decode (play) it?
Thanks,
lac410
P.S. If you need more Duke Dollars for your help, I'd be happy to award them to you.

sounds to me like you are missing a video codecs. If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck. Download the player from divx.com, it will tell you which codecs the video needs (if it won't play). You can then search the net for that particular codecs.

When I edit a contact's email address and then type the name in the Mail App, I see both the new and old address. Why don't I see only the new email address?

When I edit an email address in the Contacts App, and the type the Contact's name in the Mail App, I get both the old and new contacts. Why don't I get only the updated email address?

Mail remembers previously used email addresses for a period of time. Those you no longer use will eventually disappear. After you have sent one or two emails to the new address the old address will move below the new one. Then after a period of time not sending to the old address it will disappear. Patience is the key.

The update of web page iCloud is great, but why don't u just remove the "Notes" label from the "Mail" app?
In additional, I also would like to see a "iOS liked" way to edit my "United contact" on the web page iCloud, just like on my iphone. That would be really great and more greater!
Anyway, thanks for your work!

It's difficult to tell exactly what you mean, or where you are looking.
But if you're looking in the App Store on the iPad, in the Updates area, and you still see the icons, they presumably now say "Open" to the right instead of "Update". They will stay that way as a history of what you have done. They will disappear after a while - something like 30 days. That is fine.

Why don't appointments entered on the iphone sync to my macbook??

why don't appointments entered on the iphone sync to my macbook??

With the iPad connected to your computer's iTunes, when you select the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes and the Apps tab that then appears on the right-hand side, are the apps that you want on the iPad ticked/selected in the selection list and have you then clicked on Sync at the bottom right of that window ? Do you get any error messages when you try to sync them to the iPad e.g. have you got the relevant iOS version on your iPad for them (Settings > General > About > Version on the iPad or the Summary tab on your computer's iTunes) ?

Playing off the Timeline via firewire( XdCam pal) Monitoring Issues

Hey,
I have just switched to FCP and have found that when recording the from the FCP timeline manually via firewire into a Sony XDCam PDW530 I experience 4:3 flashes in the Camera monitor and viewfinder as the timeline plays down Video Transitions. All effects have been rendered (Blue line above transition)
However the Camera appears to record correctly to disc. I played the recorded material from the camera via an XD deck into a wide screen monitor and all appears fine the 4:3 flashes are not present on transitions. play the disc back in the camera and the 4:3 flashes for the duration of the Video Transitions return????
when playing out of the Camera via SDI and Analogue Composite outputs into a wide screen monitor all appears ok as well.
It's a little odd that you cannot monitor the output correctly on the XDcam. If i change the pull down settings from 2323 to 2332 it monitors the transitions correctly but the video aspect is somewhere between 4:3 and 16:9.
Shoot in 16:9 Capture DV Pal, Edit DV Pal, Playback Output Apple FireWire Pal (720 x 576)
Any ideas????

Thanks Shane,
We have been down the PRINT TO VIDEO road with the same playback issues in the XD Camera's LCD screen. We still see the 4:3 transition on the 16:9 image when playing off the timeline / playing back the recorded media in the camera and viewing on cameras screen .
I guess this is only a monitor issue. If you don't include any video effects it plays down 16:9 perfectly in the cameras monitor
What is recorded onto the disc is fine.
Also my understanding is the what's coming off the timeline is a DV stream so not sure how the GOP format comes into play. Recording onto a XD Cam off the timeline thru other edit programmes has never been an issue. I have come from Avid Pinnacle and the monitoring of transitions was never an issue when streaming back to the xdcam.
Thanks

Audio won't play off the timeline

I have been working with a 17min. project shot in HDV and edited w FCP 6. I have tried a few different ways to get it out to DVD Pro through Compressor. I also tried to convert it from HDV to DV so I could take it back out to tape as a DV project. I went back to the project and tried to do another compressed version for DVD after being unsuccesful converting it to DV. So when I went to Compress it to a DVD there was no audio on the DVD. I went back into the FCP project and found that the audio does not play off the timeline anymore. The audio waves are still on the timeline and when I double click on the timeline it plays in my viewer. i checked the audio outputs but the audio is not showing on the LEDs in the audio mixer. Did something get changed because of my trying to export it?

If none of the above suggestions work toggle on the Audio Controls speaker icon (see image below) and if the speakers icon appear yellow single click them (same action can be performed in the audio mixer.

Remove applemobiledevicehelper.exe and why apple doesn't play by the rules?

Hi all,
I'm just wondering if somebody knows how to remove or rip out applemobiledevicehelper.exe. It's eating up resources and I don't need it since I don't have an Apple mobile device.
On the point of playing by the rules, I'm wondering why Apple believes it can just dump all sorts of crap on my computer that I haven't asked for, need or want. E.g. Quicktime, Applemobiledevicehelper. Apple seems to think it is SO cool that the rules somehow don't apply to them.

How do you remove Apple Mobile Device Support?
I just went to Add/remove programs, found Apple Mobile Device and clicked uninstall.
My iTunes seems to work fine without it, but I have an old iPod, I can't speak for the most recent models.

Why won't it play on the car stereo or external speakers?

I have a 30 Gb ipod with color display - recently purchased. It will play through the headphones ok, but when attached to the car adapter or the speakers I purchsed - no sound?? I have tried downloading the most recent software - what next?

Hi,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive will now play your DVD.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now plays your DVD.
Regards,
DP-K

Why don't I ever get the address I am seeking?

When I search on Firefox, I never get a list that actually contains the site I want. Instead, I get a bunch of sites that may eventually take me to the site I want, but to use them I either have to put up with a lot of bull or pay first. Recently one of those sights charged me $30 just to get to a site I could have connected with using Internet Explorer at no charge. I have never paid on IE.
Don't you ever list the actual sites in your search list or is it always just satellite sites whose sole purpose is to make money?

Why don't my songs in the Library match my IPod Library?

It is set for "auto updates" to my IPod, however 6 songs are missing. Why????

do the songs have album names? the new ipod (video playback) does not allow you view songs without album names, which i personally find annoying. my guess is that they appear missing since they are not displayed.
here is the "support" article:

Why wont my songs play all the way through

Hi,
I bought the Fall Out Boy PaxAm Days album a few months ago and it the songs wouldn't play on the computer I purchased them on. So today I tried a different computer and they all downloaded but half of the songs will not play all the way through. I'm perturbed that I can't play them or get my 5 dollars back.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello GHarchack,
It sounds like you made a purchase from the iTunes Store and downloaded the songs but they will not all play the entire way through. It sounds like the files in question may not have downloaded completely. Try deleting the affected songs from your computer:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
Then you can redownload them from your purchased history usign the following article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
To download an item, click its Download button .
If the issue persists I would reach out to our iTunes Support team directly with the following article:

How do I get the beeping to stop when playing in the Timeline?

This is probably one of the most elementary questions, but for some reason I can't seem to figure out - or find in the documentation - how to get FCE to stop beeping when I play something assembled in the timeline.
In other programs I've tried (Adobe Premiere Pro for example), you hit the space bar and it plays - with audio in-tact and in sync. Here, I hear a steady beep.
Doing some research, I found that this might have something to do with unrendered audio; the problem is, every time I try to render audio with this program, as soon as it finishes it locks up BEFORE the audio file is written to the disc. And I've let it sit for over five hours - nothing.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Max. The original video came from a DVD which I ripped via HandBrake. I then, after three days of googling and finally getting an answer from some one on this forum, re-exported the resulting MPEG4 into a DV format file through MPEG Streamclip.
After reading that it needs to be in 48k format, I re-exported from MPEG Streamclip and this time, hit the option for "Resample to 48k". I brought it back into FCE and put it on the timeline, but still needed to render.
This time, I watched the folder the render sequence file went into. As soon as it finished, the render file DISSAPEARED. I'm assuming it was moved or deleted but I don't know where it could have been moved to.
Trying to use anything in the FCE interface now results in the application locking up. I can't exit it or use it at all - it's force quit or let it sit (which as I said, I've let it sit for 5+ hours earlier).
Prior to starting that render, I set the permissions on the folder ~/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents/ to read and write using Finder and applied it recursively (to all sub-folders). So there aren't any permissions problems.
Honestly, I want my money back for this program. This is unacceptable. Any Apple technicians want to give a crack at this?
