Help with menu button and movie load

Hello everyone....I am very new to flash and actionscripting
and am self taught using mostly web research.
I am building a site with a menu and a banner that is
controlled by the menu (two swf files). I have managed to get them
to communicate however, I am stuck at this point.
When "bt_1" is hit I would like a "mv_1" to load in the
banner.swf with is respected intro animation...this I figured out
how to do...however now when "bt_2" is clicked I would like play
the remainder of the animation of "mv_1" to unload the movie before
"mv_2" loads with its respected enterance animation....this I would
like to do for several buttons. The method I am using for my local
connection is this....
Sending script
mySender = new LocalConnection();
on (release) {
\\ each button has a different param...1,2,3,4,5,6
_root.mySender.send("menuconnect", "action", 1);
\\ this is the best way I could figure out to disable the
appropriate buttons..there might be a better way??
home.enabled = false;
couple.enabled = true;
events.enabled = true;
bridal.enabled = true;
media.enabled = true;
rsvp.enabled = true;
Recieving script
myReceiver = new LocalConnection();
myReceiver.action = function(doThis) {
if (doThis == 1)
gotoAndPlay(2);
if (doThis == 2)
gotoAndPlay(3);
//and so and soforth for all six buttons
myReceiver.connect("menuconnect");
If all this makes no sense I'm sorry...I tried my best...
If some pro out there can understand what I'm trying to do
and can help me I would greatly appreciate it....thank-you all
sjs

KGlad...I'm stuck again....:-(. I guess I'm not understanding
this linkage thing well enought...
if you don't mind tell me what you had in mind when you
helped me with that code...this is my situation again....
here is the actual website....www.beckyandsangeeth.com
the menu on the left of course has the buttons and I want the
animation pertaining to each button to load in the apparent banner
region, (which I am still working on the indivual animations).
I guess I'm not understanding where the movies are loaded and
how they are linked...and so and soforth...thanks again
Also I don't mean to be specifically speaking to
kGlad...anyone out there I am open for ideas.
thanks

Re: Satellite A500 - need some help with FN button and Toshiba programs

Hi,
The FN button, Eco button and other specialized buttons such as the one which opens Windows Media Player have stopped responding on my A500 PSAM3A-03P00E which runs Windows Vista. I can still change screen brightness with the FN button but no menu appears at the top of the screen.
Also the Toshiba programs which are meant to run at start up such as PC Health Monitor are not auto starting, even though they are selected in System Configuration (msconfig).
Bluetooth manager is however running at start up.
I have previously had blue screen errors however they are not a problem since I updated the BIOS to 1.5 and uninstalled Zonealarms.
Cheers

Thanks all,
All problems have been fixed after downloads of Toshiba value added package and the new version of PC Health Monitor (V1.3.2.0).

Help with Touch photo and movie copy/paste issues

I recently moved all of my photos and movies from my Touch to a USB drive, and now I want to put them back but the Touch won't let me - how do I replace them?? My ultimate destination for the files is the Cloud, which I've just loaded.

It sounds like the poster tried to paste the photos into the DCIM folder in My Computer since that is how you can get photos taken by or saved to the iPod into your computer. However the reverse does not work for moving photos from computer to iPod.

Help with menu customization and video "previews"

Hello. Thanks in advance for any answers to my question that are offered.
I just bought a 160GB iPod classic. I have been busy filling it up with music and videos, and had a couple of seemingly simple questions that I am finding it hard to find answers for in all the documentation.
First: Is there any possible way to separate videos into categories in such a way that they would not all be immediately visible from the video menu?
Second: Is there a way to turn off the splash screen preview shots randomly displayed when "videos" is selected in the menu? This is the same feature that displays random album art from the music library when "Music" is selected. I would be happy to just turn this feature off altogether to avoid those random stills from showing up when "Videos" is selected.
Let's just say that there are some videos on my iPod that I don't necessarily want popping up all the time, either in the menu or in those preview stills mentioned in my second question. Is there no way to somehow compartmentalize my videos, separating them into different categories between those suitable for the general public and those not? And if this is not possible, could I not at least deactivate these still shots that randomly display images from my less than suitable for public viewing videos?
Thank you, and I do appreciate any help or advice that is offered.

I'm new to the world of iPods too and just got my Classic 160Gb last week. I'd also be interested in learning how to do this sort of categorization too. I hate having all my videos showing up under the "Movies" category and can't figure out how to move them from there to the Music Vid category.
I know there must be hundreds of users on this forum that should be able to advise how to do this. Your input would be great appreciated.
Cheers!

Help with email buttons, and uploading from a webpage you created

Would anyone know how to create a 'contact us' page for a website, so people can send you their contact info and files?
The GoLive book says your provider does this, but my large hosting provider said you do it in GoLive.
Most sites have a 'contact us' page, where you can fill in your name and address, and send a PDF or file, just by clicking a 'send' button.
If someone could help me with this, I'd appreciate it.
Thank you.

If your provided provided PHP scripting you can use NateMail from MindPalette (NateMail 3.0.15), and it's free. It's a forms fill-in email contact that can be built in GoLive. I've used it with great success on my site.
Here is a link to my page:

Hope this helps.

Help with radio buttons and show/hide javascript

Hi. I'm new working with LiveCycle and also pretty much at a basic/beginner level of javascripting. I'm creating a pdf fillable form and one of the tasks I've been given is to add a function where if Option A is chosen by the user, then the correspondng table will appear, and if Option B is chosen another table will appear. After some searching I Iearned more about how radio buttons can be used, so I created a set of radio buttons. I have tried several different things, the latest was making both tables "hidden", and then taking to the radio button list group and applying the show/hide script to each of the radio buttons in the group. Still nothing seems to be working as I want it to. The table remains hidden when I click on the . This is what the code looks like right now. I know I'm obviously doing something wrong, this seems like such a basic thing to code. Getting to the frustration point, if you can sort me out with what I am missing/overlooking please let me know. Many thanks!
Note. The radio buttons are not in the same table, they are higher up in the form outside of the tables that I am trying to show/hide, but they are in the same subform. I don't know if that might be an issue?
form1.#subform[0].RadioButtonList::click - (JavaScript, client)
form1.#subform[0].RadioButtonList.#field[0]::click - (JavaScript, client)
   if ( RadioButtonList.#field[0].selectedIndex == 1)
     form1.#subform[0].Table1_Work.presence = "visible"
   else
   form1.#subform[0].Table1_Work.presence = "hidden"
form1.#subform[0].RadioButtonList.#field[1]::click - (JavaScript, client)
   if ( RadioButtonList.#field[1].selectedIndex == 2)
    form1.#subform[0].Table1_Official.presence = "visible"
else
     form1.#subform[0].Table1_Official.presence = "hidden"

Hi,
For starters you have unnamed pages, which is not a good idea. This makes it more difficult to reference objects. In your JavaScript you would have to resolve the node, however the simpliest route would be to name the page first. Something like "page1". Have a look at this example for referencing objects: http://assure.ly/kUP02y.
Next I would not place the script in each of the radio buttons, as this is likely to cause conflicts and is doubling the script. The best place to put the script is in the click event of the radio button exclusion group. This contains all of the radio buttons. See an example here: http://assure.ly/h7whb8 and https://acrobat.com/#d=ALebgueDXjewHjGyYRdrmw.
You syntax for JavaScript if/else statements is potentially incorrect. The script within the statements should be wrapped in curly brackets. While you can get away with it for single lines, I would not be inclined to take that approach. So:
if (a test) {
     // do something
else {
     // do something else
With the radio button exclusion group you can use its rawValue, just specify it in the Object > Binding palette. So on the basis of chaning the page name:
if (this.rawValue == "1") {
     page1.Table1_Work.presence = "visible";
else {
     page1.Table1_Work.presence = "hidden";
There is a syntax checker button in the Script Editor that should highlight errors.

Help with layout buttons and loops

Hey,
I am using mainstage for the first time for my band. We have a bunch of loops that we want to play in the background when i hit each corresponding button on my M-Audio keyboard, but i do not see an option to set a button to do that within Mainstage. Is there any way to set this up? I cant open up logic and press play and pause in the middle of a set.
Thanks

Have you tried creating an EXS instrument with the loops? You have to do this in Logic then open it on a channel strip in Mainstage.

iOS updates can take a while, try back in an hour or so. My iPad took half an hour for an incremental update. And that was on a fast home WiFi.

HT1657 I rented a movie and accidentally hit the menu button and now I can figure out how to go back and watch it . When I try to press rent again it says you have already downloaded this movie go to settings and check for downloads but I can find it.

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

Help with assignment- buttons that control movie clips

I am pretty new to flash and my professor gave us an assignment with little help or tutorials.
He wants us to create a SWF that features a house and it's front yard and two buttons.
One button that says Sunrise, and one that says Sunset.
When I push the sunrise button, the sun needs to rise above the house and stay there. When I push the Sunset button, it needs to set- and then a ufo needs to land on the lawn.
So i think I have a pretty good grasp on the assignment, but the actionscript is throwing me off. How can I make buttons that will control the sun movie clip to rise- stay above the house, and then set? The ufo is a whole new matter. The sunset button should make the sun lower and then a ufo land on the lawn.
Please help explain/link me to the proper tutorials. One thing that i'm worried about is that the sun will rise- and then stay above the house even if i click the sunset button.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Well i can think of a few ways to do this.
Depending on what you have been taught so far you should be able to do this if you know how to make a button, a movie clip, and the basic script for the timeline. ie. play,stop, gotoandplay etc.
I understand you have been set a task and you want the answer straight away. But i doubt he would have given you anything you couldn't handle. Also I learnt more from trial and error and searching the net than from most of my teachers at coll and uni, It's frustrating i know, but the buzz you get when you finally crack it is amazing. Stick in there!
That being said i remember the panic I suffered and like to help so here's a thought:
You could just have the 2 buttons play a basic movie clip. The sky could rotate one way to make the sun rise and add a "stop" in the actions to make it stay there, and to the left to sunset with both images together but not being shown all the time by using a mask. You could even add in the ufo to the clip but this would only work if you added an extra part to the movie so that when the ufo has landed it flys out again and then begins to rotate the sun and moon again. ( buttons would be dissabled during the play modes to avoid chaos) This is just a quick thought. I'm sure there are several ways of doing this depending on how fancy it needs to be.
If your teacher really has given you no notes on buttons,movieclips and actionscript i would sujest Adobe TV. Nice videos that explain step by step. OR try downloading a tutorial file with buttons and movie clips and look at the coding they use in the file. Thats how i have learnt most of it since finishing Uni.
Good Luck

If you have a external USB enclosure - trying installing your hard drive in that enclosure and connect it to your usb port - restart your macbook while holding down the options key. If you Macbook boots to your desktop then you have a faulty cable. If you get the same error, then your hard drive just died on you.
good luck.

It's not an Apple issue and Apple has nothing to do with it.
The only way to buy an iPhone officially refurbished by Apple is to buy it from an Apple store or via Apple's website.
Refurbished iPhones sold via other retailers are not refurbished by Apple.
Sounds like Wireless Wave did all they could... they refunded your money.
Your only issue is with them. Stop getting all worked up over it.

you can't use the button itself if you want to maintain the
DOWN state after
release as button automatically resets itself once the mouse
lives the HIT zone.
Use movie clip instead and on press simply send it to a frame
where there
is DOWN state like image.
