Help with Blog - Bolding

Hey there,
For some reason on my blog in BC I can't bold or italicize text; it shows up in the bold module but upon preview on the actual site they do not show up.
Any idea what is happening? Underlining however does work.
Thanks!

Hey Liam, here's an example of one of the pages

Help with Blog image

Hello BC gurus....
I have a blog set up on a site of mine:
http://nganet.businesscatalyst.com/nga-blog
Quick easy question for all.. With the "{tag_blogpostbody}" in the list layout... Can you set this to display an image with the preview of the copy to then click through to read more?
No matter what i do i can only get the image to display on the full tag.. I've tried "{tag_blogpostbody,600,... Read More}" but if i do that the image doesn't display.
Any help and suggestions would be awesome.

Liam,
If i do that then it renders the image as the first para and then only displays the "... Read More". I want the image not as the article preview. See the attached.
Is this a massive fail for BC. Surely there is a way to insert an hero image for article lists without java or additional coding.
cheers

Help with tweaking blog and webform built in Adobe Muse

Hi there.
A client of mine had a 3rd party do a re-design (in Adobe Muse) of their current site in BC. Managed to get most of the re-design all launched except for a couple of tweaks that have been giving me major headaches.
Firstly, is it possible to edit the site that was built in Muse directly from BC itself and not Muse? I don't have a Muse subscription.
If so, I need help with the following that I have tried to tweak myself, but just can't find out how. BTW I am not a developer but muddle my way around editing existing code etc etc.
1. On the contact us page, I need to add an additional field to the webform. A radio button question: "preferred contact method". Phone or email. I know how to add the field to the webform in BC. Apparently Muse forms don't support radio buttons? Anyway, I can't figure out how to edit the source on the contact page to include the fields that I add to the webform.
2. Some minor tweaks to the layout of the blog page. I need to make the horizontal and vertical lines meet up and not have a space. Also, the left column width needs to be decreased and the right column width increased. Basically I need the current live blog http://www.robertsonburns.com.au/blah-blog to look like the previously coded muse blog (which is not live) http://robertsonburns-test5.businesscatalyst.com/blah.html which it does, except for these two minor issues.
Would appreciate anyone's help and/or advice.
Thanks.

Hey there,
Yes you just go to the site either via... site.buisnesscatalyst.com/admin or livesite.com/admin
Once you do that you can login. It depends how it was built though. Properly a site will have content holders and templates and the pages just hold the content. A user can go to those pages, webapps, blogs (dependng on the plan and build of the site) can edit that content.
Muse is not the best in terms of handling that and making updates, I am aware the Team updated Muse to handle fetching updates etc though but there is a note of caution on that stil though.
1. What is the plan of the site? If it is just a CC site then there is no web form manager with that plan of BC. You will have to edit and update the form built in Muse.
If it is on a plan that supports web forms it also depends on how you built it. If in Muse you should be able to just update the form in Muse I think and it posts into the system to update. If not then you need to go into the admin and web form manager and edit the html to make changes. This depends though if the form was inserted as a module, if not you need to navigate to the template or page and update it there once you have added the new fields to the form under the web form itself.
2. Layouts are managed via SFTP under the folder Layouts or in the admin under Module Templates in the main menu and Blog layouts.

Need help with overlapping divs!

Hey everyone,
I'm working on another website and I have come up against a common problem for newbie designers from what I hear, the dreaded overlapping div problem! I have a 2 column fixed layout with a floating left div. My left div has my nav bar and various images. When my main content div has more content than the left floating div, the left div border does not reach the footer! Until now, I have gotten by with just hitting return in my left column div until it reaches the footer. I am sure it is not the right way to do it but it has worked so far. The problem is, now one of the pages has the left column div overlapping onto the footer! I did some reading and I am guessing it involves either the box properties or clear float which I am not too familiar with.
Any advice would be stellar! I know this is just another stumbling block to get over but I would feel so much better if I was doing it the right way.
Here are screens of my issue,
And here is my code for the page in question.

 <h2>Radon Gas Inspection</h2>
 <div id="paragraphFloat">
 <h5>What Is Radon?</h5>
 Radon is a cancer causing radioactive gas. You cannot see, smell or taste radon, but it may be a problem in your home. The Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. 
 <div id="apDiv1">
 <div align="center"><a href="http://www.epa.gov/radon/video/epa-epu.wmv"><img src="_images/psa_revised.jpg" alt="What Is Radon?" width="200" height="172" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>
 If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, you're at high risk for developing lung cancer. Some scientific studies of radon exposure indicate that children may be more sensitive to radon. This may be due to their higher respiration rate and their rapidly dividing cells, which may be more vulnerable to radiation damage. 
 
 <h5>Why Is It Dangerous?</h5>
 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the Surgeon General's Office have estimated that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths are caused each year by radon. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon-induced lung cancer costs the United States over $2 billion dollars per year in both direct and indirect health care costs.
According to the US EPA, nearly 1 in 3 homes checked in seven states and on three Indian lands had screening levels over 4 pCi/L, the EPA's recommended action level for radon exposure.
The alpha radiation emitted by radon is the same alpha radiation emitted by other alpha generating radiation sources such as plutonium.
A family whose home has radon levels of 4 pCi/l is exposed to approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if that family was standing next to the fence of a radioactive waste site. (25 mrem limit, 800 mrem exposure)
 At the 4 pCi/l EPA action guideline level, radon carries approximately 1000 times the risk of death as any other EPA carcinogen. It is important to note that the action level is not a safe level, as there are no "safe" levels of radon gas.
 
<h5>How Does It Get Into My Home?</h5>
 Radon is a radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements.
 Radon from soil gas is the main cause of radon problems. Sometimes radon enters the home through well water. In a small number of homes, the building materials can give off radon, too. However, building materials rarely cause radon problems by themselves.
Radon gets in through:
<ul>
<li>Cracks in solid floors
 <div id="apDiv3">
 <div align="center"><a href="http://www.fullcirclehomeinspections.com/_assets/CitizensGuideRadon.pdf"><img src="_images/citguidecoverradon.jpg" alt="Guide To Radon" width="154" height="200" border="0" /></a></div>
 </div>
</li>
<li>Construction joints</li>
<li>Cracks in walls</li>
<li>Gaps in suspended floors</li>
<li>Gaps around service pipes</li>
<li>Cavities inside walls</li>
<li>Surrounding water supply</li>
</ul>
 
<h5>What Can I Do?</h5>
 Radon is a national environmental health problem. Elevated radon levels have been discovered in every state. The US EPA estimates that as many as 8 million homes throughout the country have elevated levels of radon. Current state surveys show that 1 home in 5 has elevated radon levels.
 Testing is the only way to know your home's radon levels. There are no immediate symptoms that will alert you to the presence of radon. It typically takes years of exposure before any problems surface. 
Let Full Circle Home Inspections ensure your family and your home are protected and safe from radon exposure!
 
<h5>Radon Myths</h5>
MYTH: Scientists are not sure that radon really is a problem.
<blockquote>
FACT: Although some scientists dispute the precise number of deaths due to radon, all the major health organizations (like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Lung Association and the American Medical Association) agree with estimates that radon causes thousands of preventable lung cancer deaths every year. This is especially true among smokers, since the risk to smokers is much greater than to non-smokers.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Radon testing is difficult, time-consuming and expensive.
<blockquote>
FACT: Radon testing is easy. You can test your home yourself or hire a qualified radon test company. Either approach takes only a small amount of time and effort.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Homes with radon problems can't be fixed.
<blockquote>
FACT: There are simple solutions to radon problems in homes. Hundreds of thousands of homeowners have already fixed radon problems in their homes. Most homes can be fixed for about the same cost as other common home repairs; check with one or more qualified mitigators. Call your <a href="http://www.epa.gov/radon/whereyoulive.html">state radon office</a> for help in identifying qualified mitigation contractors.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Radon affects only certain kinds of homes.
<blockquote>
FACT: House construction can affect radon levels. However, radon can be a problem in homes of all types: old homes, new homes, drafty homes, insulated homes, homes with basements, and homes without basements. Local geology, construction materials, and how the home was built are among the factors that can affect radon levels in homes.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Radon is only a problem in certain parts of the country.
<blockquote>
FACT: High radon levels have been found in every state. Radon problems do vary from area to area, but the only way to know your radon level is to test.
</blockquote>
MYTH: A neighbor's test result is a good indication of whether your home has a problem.
<blockquote>
FACT: It's not. Radon levels can vary greatly from home to home. The only way to know if your home has a radon problem is to test it.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Everyone should test their water for radon.
<blockquote>
FACT: Although radon gets into some homes through water, it is important to first test the air in the home for radon. If your water comes from a public water supply that uses ground water, call your water supplier. If high radon levels are found and the home has a private well, call the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 for information on testing your water.
</blockquote>
MYTH: It's difficult to sell homes where radon problems have been discovered.
<blockquote>
FACT: Where radon problems have been fixed, home sales have not been blocked or frustrated. The added protection is some times a good selling point.
</blockquote>
MYTH: I've lived in my home for so long, it doesn't make sense to take action now.
<blockquote>
FACT: You will reduce your risk of lung cancer when you reduce radon levels, even if you've lived with a radon problem for a long time.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Short-term tests can't be used for making a decision about whether to fix your home.
<blockquote>
FACT: A short-term test, followed by a second short-term test* can be used to decide whether to fix your home. However, the closer the average of your two short-term tests is to 4 pCi/L, the less certain you can be about whether your year-round average is above or below that level. Keep in mind that radon levels below 4 pCi/L still pose some risk. Radon levels can be reduced in most homes to 2 pCi/L or below.

Please if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong please please let me know! Since I am learning, I really want to get main concepts like this down so I am not constantly doing things the hard way! Thank you!
Jayson

1) Regarding validation, what does it do?
It validates by telling you where your code isn't er... valid. Sometimes the results are a bit jumbled but if you work through them one at a time and revalidate, it's a good way to learn. If you fix all of the errors shown up through the validator you should end up with standards compliant code. Not necessarily the best, most efficient code you can write but at least it will be valid and it helps you spot errors that hours of code-staring never seems to find.
I don't use the DW validation tool because I find the W3c one easier.
The W3c validator has a check box of HTML Tidy which can tidy up your code but it's not always as easy to see what changes.
2) I know the tag for spacing is wrong, I could just feel it in my bones. I just didn't know what else to do. If I all the way down won't the code be just as cluttered?
You're obviously a born web coder!
 will bloat your page if you use them to position elements.
Here you need to get used to a) the Block Model and b) CSS positioning. Once you crack these, CSS opens up for you and becomes a little more intuitive.
if you have two elements on top of each other rather than push them apart with other elements you do it with padding and/or margin. There are things to watch out for here namely, collapsing margins but if you start to read up on the above, you'll get it.
I just thought of something. If I add a div in main content, align it to the bottom center with CSS, use a line break between it and the text above, and add the image in question in the new div, will the spacing between the text and image work itself out? I just really want to get out of the bad habit.
Keep thinking! Web design is not like desktop publishing or print. Elements on a HTML page don't behave like paragraphs on a page. Once you begin to figure out why not it all gets a little easier.
If you want an image at the bottom an element you put that at the end of the content in that element. Then you need to ensure there is no margin, padding or border between the img element and the next element (your footer). HTML elements come with some styling that is applied by default in the browser. Many web developers include a rule like this:
body {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
This sets the margin and padding to zero of course and it's purpose is to override the defaults. Some people advocate applying similar rules to all elements and if your interested try googling Eric Meyer who has written about it online.
One of the key purposes of CSS is to take styling out of the page. It's leaner, more efficient for the viewer and the coder and helps with site management.
3) AP divs are weird, and I did only use as a last resort.
See? You're a natural!
The reason is I am confused by the float and clear float classes. My left column is floated left and that element is what I was having problems understanding. I tried to make new divs and float right but I screwed it all up. I am sure I am just not applying the clear float in the right places.
Getting the hang of floating is key to CSS positioning. You use a float if you want two elements to sit side by side on the page. It disrupts the "document flow." Ordinarily HTML elements are rendered one after the other, on top of each other. Floating an element takes it out of the document flow and allows other elements to occupy its space. When you float an element it should always have a width. If the element below it also has a width, that width has to be sufficiently narrow to allow it to occupy the space. In short, floated elements can't be wider than their containing element.
The clear property is used after a float to stop an element occupying the space left by a floated element. It works but confuses the heck out of me!
So that leads me to my final point. I am a novice too! I might have fluffed a few of the technical points above but it's pretty much there.

Martin

Help with htmldb_Get calling an on_demand application proccess

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help with a problem I have. I have a button (coded in Javascript) that uses htmldb_Get to call an on_demand application process that should be updating the database. Unfortunately it does not, and I cannot see what I've done wrong! Perhaps some fresh eyes can help?
Call to htmldb_get / application process
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=applicationProcessSaveToDB',0);
get.add('STO_ID',myStoId)
get.add('DTE_ID',myDteId)
get.add('ADJ',myAdj)
var gReturn = get.get();
alert( 'gReturn <'+gReturn+'>' ) ;
On_demand process code
DECLARE
l_msg VARCHAR2 (2000);
BEGIN
SELECT :ADJ || CHR(10) || :STO_ID || CHR(10) || :DTE_ID
INTO l_msg
FROM dual;
UPDATE fid_live.tffd_cash_sls
SET local_est_manl_adj = :ADJ
, est_manl_adj = pk$_sa_exchange.f$_get_ukp_value
TO_NUMBER( pk$_sa_sel.f$_sel_sto_no( :STO_ID ) ),
:ADJ,
pk$_sa_sel.f$_sel_calendar_dte( :DTE_ID )
WHERE sto_id = :STO_ID
AND dte_id = :DTE_ID;
-- COMMIT;
HTP.prn (l_msg);
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
l_msg:='Exception has occurred '||SQLERRM||', '||SQLCODE;
HTP.prn (l_msg);
END;
I was expecting to see (a) the database updated (it is not) and (b) the text string l_msg echoed back via the alert(gReturn) - it does not (but does if I comment out the UPDATE statement, which makes me wonder if the SQL is being rejected, but then I'd hope that the exception block would return an error message).
Can anyone help?
Many thanks,
MarkB...

Hi Mark,
for the future in case you have again a problem with an on-demand process. The following posting which I have written some time ago should help you to test it.
http://inside-apex.blogspot.com/2006/12/how-to-test-on-demand-process.html
Testing without the javascript call and seeing the actual result values is much easier then the through javascript.

Help with e-mailing a form

Hi, i am new to the forum and I just put up a new wesite for
my company since the other one was outdated. I look around the
forum to see what previous post could help me but no such luck. I
am using Dreamweaver 8 and I need help with emailing a form.
Here is the code of the form page and the script
Can someone help me?

The form needs to submit to a page that will have the email
processing code
on it. What you put there will depend on how you are sending
the mail ..
i.e. what server components are available to you on the
server such as JMail
or CFMail or PHPMail or ASPEMail .. etc. You already know
what server model
you are using and you should be able to find out what you
have to work with
on your host's web site.
If this is not already an active web site with a server
model, you can use
something like Form Mail, a CGI script that will do that job
for you ..

Need help with navigation within a spark list...

hey guys, so in my application when you click on a list item, it opens up an image, and along with the image a few buttons are created dynamically...
the image and the url/labels for the dynamic buttons is provided through an xml/xmlListCollection.
what i need help with is the url or more specifically when you click on one of these dynamic buttons it needs to navigate me to another part of an list or display a certain set of images that is not in my spark list...
please let me know if this makes no sence
the code i have is

i have attached a copy of the xml that i have right now to this post for reference...
any help will be greatly appretiated!!! i've been stuck on this problem for the last week and my project is due soon
again thank you in advance...

hey david... just nevermind my previous post... I was able to subclass a link button, so i now have two variables that get assigned to a link button,
one is "tabId" <-- contains the information on which tab to swtich to, and the second is, "changeTo"... this contans the label name which it needs to switch to
I'm just stuck on how to change my selected item in my tabNavigator/list
the code i have right now is
 private function customButtonPressed(event:Event):void{
 if(event.currentTarget.tabId == "troubleShooting"){
 for each(var item:Object in troubleShootProvider){
 if(item.@label == event.currentTarget.changeTo){
 private function userOptionsChange(event:IndexChangeEvent):void{
 dynamicButtons.removeAllElements();
 navControl.source = userOptionProvider[event.newIndex].children();
 currImage = 0;
 imgList.source = userOptionProvider[event.newIndex].images.children();

 if(currImage >= imgList.length - 1){
 next.visible = false;
 back.visible = false;
 else{
 back.visible = false;
 next.visible = true;
as you know, my xml gets divided into two saperate xmllistcollections one is the userOptionProvider, and the troubleshootingProvider
as is in the following xml
<mx:TabNavigator id="tabNav" width="275" tabStyleName="tabStyle" fontWeight="bold" height="400" paddingTop="0"
 tabWidth="137.5" creationPolicy="all" borderVisible="false">

 <s:List id="userOptions" width="100%" height="100%" itemRenderer="modules.apx32.myComponents.listRenderer"
 borderVisible="false" contentBackgroundColor="#e9e9e9"
 change="userOptionsChange(event)">
 <s:dataProvider>
 <s:XMLListCollection id="userOptionProvider" />
 </s:dataProvider>
 </s:List>
 </mx:VBox>
 <mx:VBox label="TROUBLESHOOTING">

Im having some trouble updating my list... basically change to the troubleshooting tab, and then select the one that i need...
hopefully that makes sence...

Please post links directly to the page having an issue. I saw
no tabs on the home page, but I noticed that there is a link on the
bottom of the page to this page that has a Spry tab on it:
http://www.so-nouveau.com/test%208.html
> I ahve double checked all uploading is correct and files

That page refers to a Spry JavaScript file and a Spry CSS
file, which should be at the following locations but are not
present:
http://www.so-nouveau.com/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.js
http://www.so-nouveau.com/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.css
Make sure you upload the SpryAssests folder and see where
you're at after that.

Help with Font on website

Hi Guys,
I'm having a little problem with a website, the soloution is probably really simple but cant for the life of me figure it out.
Welcome to 1st Winnington Scouts
Please choose your section below.
In my html the above is under the div tag "main" and the css for h1 is calibri font and it shows this in dreamweaver. Whenever I use live view, or preview in browser, or have it uploaded as it is now the font reverts back to times new roman and black in colour.
The link to the site is below.
http://winningtonscouts.hostei.com/
Any help with this would be grand

Sorry I meant to say Courier New, not Calibri
On the Style sheet there are
#main_image h1 {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    color: #51327B;
    font-size: 36px;
    font-variant: small-caps;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
#main_image p {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 14px;
    color: #51327B;
    text-align: justify;
#main_image h2 {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    color: #51327B;
    font-size: 24px;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-variant: small-caps;
    text-align: center;

Help with "simple" JFileChooser problem...

Hi all,
how do I set the font in a JFileChooser???
I have tried everything, but it always uses the Look & Feels default font setting. Can I change the default Look&Feels font setting?
Greatfully for any suggestions!
Cheers
Anders ;-D

Hello!
You can use the UIManager, e.g. UIManager.put("FileChooser.font", new Font("Arial",
Font.BOLD, 14);
Well, that didn't seem to help with my case either. So I tried something else: I overrided all of the defaults by using UIManager.put(key, value) this way I got all of the Fonts in the JFileChooser to change.
Correct me if I'm wrong... ;)
- Cathra -
Sample Code that performs the requested:
// Prepare the resources
FontUIResource font12Arial = new FontUIResource( "Arial", Font.PLAIN, 12 );
// Put values into UIDefaults (before initializing the JFileChooser)
UIManager.put( "ToolTip.font", font12Arial );
UIManager.put( "OptionPane.messageFont", font12Arial );
// shown for example
UIManager.put("FileChooser.openButtonText", "OpenUp");
UIManager.put("Button.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("Label.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("Table.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("TextField.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("ScrollPane.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("ComboBox.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("CheckBox.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("TitledBorder.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("RadioButton.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("ToolTip.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("TextPane.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("TextArea.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("Tree.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("List.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("MenuBar.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("Menu.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("MenuItem.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("TableHeader.font", font12Arial);
UIManager.put("TabbedPane.font", font12Arial);
// somewhere in the code:
JFileChooser c = new JFileChooser();
c.showOpenDialog(aParentFrame);

Please I really need help with this video problem.

Hi!
Please I need help with this app I am trying to make for an Android cellphone and I've been struggling with this for a couple of months.
I have a main flash file (video player.fla) that will load external swf files. This is the main screen.When I click the Sets Anteriores button I want to open another swf file called sets.swf.The app is freezing when I click Sets Anteriores button
Here is the code for this fla file.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
preloaderBar.visible = false;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
btHome.enabled = false;
var filme : String = "";

          preloaderBar.visible = true;
          preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = 0;
function progresso(e:ProgressEvent):void
          var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
          preloaderBar.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
          preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = perc;
function completo(e:Event):void
          preloaderBar.percent.text = '';
          preloaderBar.visible = false;
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onHomeDown);
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onHomeUp);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onSetsDown);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onSetsUp);
btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onVivoDown);
btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onVivoUp);
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onHomeClick);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onSetsClick);
function onSetsClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          if (filme != "sets.swf")
                      filme = "sets.swf";
                      carregaFilme("sets.swf");
function onHomeClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          if (filme != "home.swf")
                      filme = "home.swf";
                      carregaFilme("home.swf");
function onHomeDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btHome.y += 1;
function onHomeUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btHome.y -= 1;
function onSetsDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btSets.y += 1;
function onSetsUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btSets.y -= 1;
function onVivoDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btVivo.y += 1;
function onVivoUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btVivo.y -= 1;
Now this is the sets.fla file:
Here is the code for sets.fla
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var video:Video;
var nc:NetConnection;
var ns:NetStream;
var t : Timer = new Timer(1000,0);
var meta:Object = new Object();
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,init);
function init(e:Event):void{
video= new Video(320, 240);
addChild(video);
video.x = 80;
video.y = 100;
nc= new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatusEvent);
ns.bufferTime = 1;
ns.client = meta;
video.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("http://www.djchambinho.com/videos/segundaquinta.flv");
ns.pause();
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
t.start();
function onStatusEvent(stat:Object):void
          trace(stat.info.code);
meta.onMetaData = function(meta:Object)
          trace(meta.duration);
function timeHandler(event : TimerEvent) : void
if (ns.bytesLoaded>0&&ns.bytesLoaded == ns.bytesTotal )
            ns.resume();
            t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
            t.stop();
The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
thank you

My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(urlReq, context);

If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:

Help with embedding videos

Hello,
I please need help with embedding videos from youtube. I do this via the Web panel (not the video panel) and copied the embed code on Youtube and pasted it into my Indesign CS6 (autoplay activated). I did it according to that helpful video: http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2013/06/04/embedding-youtube-videos-into-your-dps-project/
However, when testing this on my iPad, only a white box appears and I cannot press a play button.

Are you sure, that you changed code from youtube?
Code from youtube is:
src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KulFWmvbEu4
but you need to change it to
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KulFWmvbEu4
For us, best result is to embed video via:
menu Object > Include HTML (don't know exact english name of menu), paste iframe code with correct http link and then it works.

Little bit of help with the duplication process needed

Hi
I trying to duplicate a database from one server to a remote server. They are both running windows server 2003 (my first problem) , the primary server is running oracle 11gR1 and the (hopefully) receiving server is running 11gR2(is that going to be a problem?) and I'm a little stuck on some parts of the process.
The book I'm using says to edit the listener.ora file to include a SID_DESC of the remote database. Here is my listener.ora file with the modifications
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = test.host.local)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = CGARDMSTR)
(ORACLE_HOME = G:\app\administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = CGARDMSTR)
(ORACLE_HOME =G:\app\administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = CGARDMSTR)
*(SID_DESC* *=*
*(GLOBAL_DBNAME* *=* cgard)
*(ORACLE_HOME* *=F:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)*
*(SID_NAME* *=* cgard)
(bold is what i added)
it then said to chnage my tnsnames.ora
CGARD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = test.host.local)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = cgard)
CGARD5DE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = test.host.local)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = CGARD5DEV)
CGARDMST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = test.host.local)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = CGARDMSTR)
cgard =
*(DESCRIPTION =*
*(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = live.host.local)(PORT = 1521))*
*(CONNECT_DATA =*
*(SERVER = DEDICATED)*
*(SERVICE_NAME = cgard)*
I changed the local domain to host for business reasons
The next step was to create a initialization parameter file which I am guessing is a pfile and hopefully not a spfile. It then says to only enter one param db_name and the conversion params if the filesystem is diffrent. Problem is I don't know what to do with this file, if I am suppose to switch the second database to this file then surly I would need some more params? Anyway thats the first of many questions.
When I try to run through the rman commands it describes it also trips up:
RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/*********@live.host.local
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurr
ed
The other database is up and connectable via sqldevloper so I'm guessing it was my configuration of listener and tnsnames
Ok to reiterate my questions are:
1) what needs to be in the pfile I create for the database thats going to receive the backup and what do I do with that file when I have made it?
2) I am pretty sure my listener and tsunamis config is completely wrong so can I have some pointers on fixing that?
3) Was the reason I could not connect to the receiving database my tns and listener config or is it something else?
Quite a few other questions but untill I know some more about the above I doubt I will be able to ask properly.
Also if this helps the book I am using is Expert Oracle Database 11g Administration and the page is 835(the method that begins on that page) and I am willing to write out the whole method if you need more details.
Oh and if you havent figured it out I am very new to this so if some of this sounds very wrong or just stupid just say what I need to change and I will get right on it.
Thanks

RMAN>
I did issue the commands:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>rman target /
Recovery Manager: Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production on Fri Nov 19 13:55:40 2010
Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.
connected to target database: CGARDMST (DBID=3160500813)
RMAN> connect catalog rman/rman
connected to recovery catalog database
RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/**********@cgard
connected to auxiliary database: CGARD (not mounted)
So I am not quite sure what it wants. I read somewhere about a password file but I don't understand how it will help, also most things I have looked at wernt clear on how to do it. I took a stab anyway:
G:\app\administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\BIN>orapwd file=orapwcgard password=*********** entries=20 ignorecase=n
Was run on the original database host.
File was then copied to "F:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\database" on the receiving database's host it was then renamed to PWDcgard.ora as there was file there already with that name.
It did not help(same error).
The book I am using mentions the 'PASSWORD FILE' param to be used with the duplicate command but I cant find a example on how to use it so any help with that would be great.
Thanks for the effort so far guys its really appreciated.
