Help with TOC headings/sections for ebook

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble creating an active Table of Contents for an ebook using Pages.
I would like to have the headings on the TOC refer the reader to a page in which the information is contained without the TOC heading appearing on the text. For example, the TOC heading that says 'Copyright' refers the reader to the copyright page in which a body text of copyright appears, but not the actual heading 'Copyright' above the text on the actual page document; or a 'Title Page' heading in the TOC linking to the page in which the actual title of the book appears, etc
I was able to create an active TOC with headings on the body text using the styles drawer, but when I change/delete the heading 'Copyright from the body text to insert the actual copyright notice, the heading - as expected - dissapears from the TOC...).
I could not find the answer anywhere else in the forum. How do I this?
Thanks a million!
PS: I've access to both Pages 4.0.3 on Lion and 5.2 on Mavericks
PPS: it might be relevant to say that the Pages document will later be exported to EPUB. Thanks again

I finaly understood the error and got the SectionChange to work.

Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC, Don't have older Version of Adobe Acrobat 9, 8 or 7.

You don't need to install the older version, you only need the serial number from your original purchase. If you don't have them to hand, did you register? If so, they should be in your Adobe account. If not you really need to contact Adobe, though it isn't clear they will be able to do anything without some proof of purchase etc.

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
Product: D110a all-in-one
OS: Windows XP Professional
Error messages: None
Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
trunk is a round, solid object.
I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

Hi everyone,
I noticed the following message when network starts on my gateway
Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
brazzmonkey,
you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
Use, f.e., netcfg:
Comment your old lines.
In /etc/rc.conf insert:
NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
First one is named Eth0-dhcp.
Contents:
CONNECTION="ethernet"
DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
INTERFACE=eth0
HOSTNAME="your hostname"
IP="dhcp"
DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
Second one is named Eth1-static.
Contents:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='whatver'
INTERFACE='eth1'
HOSTNAME='hname'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.10'
GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
Hope it helps.

PS: netcfg must be installed.

[solved]Need help with a bash script for MOC conky artwork.

I need some help with a bash script for displaying artwork from MOC.
Music folders have a file called 'front.jpg' in them, so I need to pull the current directory from MOCP and then display the 'front.jpg' file in conky.
mocp -Q %file
gives me the current file playing, but I need the directory (perhaps some way to use only everything after the last '/'?)
A point in the right direction would be appreciated.
thanks, d

You should also quote the variables and output in double quotes to make the code robust, e.g.
filename="$(mocp -Q %file)"
dirname="${filename%/*}"
cp "$dirname"/front.jpg ~/backup/art.jpg
Without the quotes, whitespace will break the code. Even if you don't expect whitespace in any of the paths, it's still good coding practice to include the quotes imo.
thanks for the tip.
here it is, anyhow:
#!/bin/bash
filename=$(mocp -Q %file)
dirname=${filename%/*}
cp ${dirname}/front.jpg ~/backup/art.jpg
then in conky:
$alignr${execi 30 ~/bin/artc}${image ~/backup/art.jpg -s 100x100 -p -3,60}
thanks for the help.

Need help with Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message. Adobe fix isn't working.

I am still using CS3. A while back I received an error: "Licensing for this product has stopped working" for my CS3 programs. I used the recovery program suggested by Adobe and was able to get Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver to work, but I still can't open Photoshop or In Design. I went back to the Adobe site and did every other trick they suggested to fix the error, but nothing has worked.
I then tried to uninstall photoshop from my CS3 suite (so I could reinstall) but got a JavaScript Alert: "Critical errors were found in set up. Please see set up log for file details." Seeing as I am not the best with the behind the scenes technical stuff, I have no idea what this means or where the set up log even is. Any help anyone can provide?
I have had CS3 installed on my computer for over a year. I started having problems about 4 months ago.

I am having similar problem. Can't open any of CS3 programs after trying to download Dreamweaver Trial, which wouldn't work because "couldn't remove DLM extention" error message. So now I can not run Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe Reader. These are properly licensed for about a year. I get "License for product has stopped working". Have 2 pending cases open with Adobe support (one for Dreamweaver trial, one for license problem) since 8/3 with NO ANSWERS - It says answers within 1-3 business days. Was on phone support hold today for over 3 hours before line went dead with no help. What is up with adobe support? Can anyone help?

I want the label to appear for X seconds when then button is pressed and disappear after that.Then a Swing Timer is what you want to use.
I need to do this in a number of cases from a switch statement because I several buttons.Better to have several ActionListeners, one for each button or each type of button, rather than one ActionListener with a large switch statement, a so-called switch-board listener. They're messy to debug and upgrade.

Help with Proper DNS Setup for Leopard Standard Server Setup

Hello All,
Problem Description-
I was reviewing some training today on DNS setup and checking for proper setup with the sudo changeip - checkhostname tool and I seem to have an incorrectly configured DNS setup. So I need some help on correcting it. When I go to the "Server Preferences" tool I cannot log in using apple.ourdomainname.com instead in order to use the tool I have to input localhost as the server name. Now I just thought that the system was broken or something and with the help of my training I now see it's a DNS problem. I thought I had everything proper since I followed the steps of creating proper DNS/RDNS entries with my ISP. Now I am stuck wondering what else isn't working properly due to the DNS issue. Thanks in advance.
Technical Info-
My ISP provides us with 5 static IP's and we have asked them to create entries and verified the setup of apple.ourdomainname.com = x.x.x.x which is one of our public IP's assigned currently assigned to the WAN port of our Apple Airport Extreme. We have also had them create a PTR record which also is present, verified and functional. Our MacMini running 10.5.5 is connected directly to one of the ethernet ports on our Apple Airport Extreme which is our NAT/Firewall for the LAN. So during the setup of the Standard Server install the OS configured the Airport with the required ports for chat/web/vpn. And mobile Mac's can VPN in and gain folder access and web works fine too. We don't use the e-mail portion so I can't say how that works. The server is using the DNS of 10.0.200.1 which is the IP of the Airport and the airport is programmed with the DNS of OpenDNS servers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. The reason for this whole long shpeal is that I want to give as much technical background as possible for the best possible help.
Thanks

Help with building flash files for streaming

I filmed a product demonstration for a client who wanted to put it on his website. I edited the footage in PremPro CS4 and exported to Media Encoder as F4V file format. After encoding imported footage into CS4 Encore, created timeline, chose, Flash from Format and swf for output. Progressive Download which allows video to begin playing as it is downloaded (I believe), chose destinations and settings. After transcoding I had 1 file folder, Sources that contained the following files _PGC_Bpge_entryPoint_Bbp_1.f4v, and then 3 separate files, *not* in the file folder called Sources. They are
AuthoredContent.xml, FlashDVD.swf, and Index.html.
I submitted all files to client who gave them to web designer. Designer said these were the wrong files and he could not use them. I called designer and basically he said I didn't know what I was doing. I told him he needed all files to put up the flash video. Anyway, am I missing something, doing something wrong? Are there other files he needs? He said he only needed 1 file. Or is it the designer? I'm not thin skinned so if it's me please tell me so, so I don't make the same errors. Thanks. All suggestions/comments are appreciated!

<The client wants a control player, i.e. play, stop, pause, etc., that's it, so the viewer can simply provide the function themselves. This is similar to youtube, blogger, etc.
The web designer can use what you provided, which does what you describe the client wanting. But the web designer may need to integrate what Encore provided onto a web page, and the client may not have made the expectations clear and may not know what is needed. As I said, the Encore to flash player gives almost no options for the player controls and colors etc may be problems.
<Encore did encode the f4v file. When I exported from PremPro what preset should I hve chosen -- mpeg2 DVD, flv/f4v. So the only file he needs in addition to what I gave him is the original f4v file?
I don't know whether the f4v you exported from Premiere was progressive. The f4v from Encore might be fine, or you might need to export from Premiere again.
The other issue is that some "player" with controls needs to be provided by you or the web designer (who may have an issue with the client not getting the designer to lay all this out to begin with). There are several threads about "flv players" you might check out. Does the client have video on his site already? If so, you can figure out what they are using, and it will help with your process.
should I have chosen "flash server" instead of "progressive". i must admit i never did this before. other clients just have me post it to youtube and provide them with embed code.
It depends on what they want.

Help with project/folder setup for new flex project??

Hello all,
I need help deciding how to set up my projects for a new flex application we're developing.
We have an in-house custom java/jsp "framework". This framework has JSP pages for administering applications that are built using this framework. One part of the framework generates all java base and model objects from our database tables to be used in the new application.
The new application will have a back-office part (Adobe AIR) and a web facing part (Adobe Flex). Both the AIR and Flex parts of the application need to access the java model objects via AS3 classes (I believe I'll do this using remoteobject).
My questions are as follows:
After I create the base and model AS3 classes that remoteobject with the java classes can I put these in a common library project so both my AIR and Flex app can access common AS3 code. I feel I should do this to keep from duplicating code by copying the AS3 classes in both my AIR and Flex projects. Can you give my any examples or links to information on how to do this??
I plan to also create a common java project for all base and model objects generated from my db tables so that the common library project with AS3 classes could remoteobject interface with the java classes in the java project. I would like to keep all of my business logic in the java model classes. Does this seem appropriate for the projects/setup listed above?
Here are the projects I think I need in Flex Builder.
FlexWebApp
AIRBackOfficeApp
JavaApp - Common
AS3FlexLibraryApp - Common
The FlexWebApp and AIRBackOfficeApp will reference the AS3FlexLibraryApp and the AS3FlexLibraryApp will remoteobject to the java classes in JavaApp.
Any help or direction with this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Whitney

I need help with proper DNS setup for 10.5.8 Server

I'm administering a 10.5.8 server that I sold and setup about a year ago. I'm experiencing issues with getting iCal server to be happy. All of the clients are running 10.5.8, but I'm running 10.6.1. I've heard from others that connecting iCal in 10.6 to a 10.5 iCal Server should be no problem.
I'm beginning to think that I have DNS issues. Probably because I'm not and never have been 100% certain how to set it up completely correctly. I used to be able to get Kerberos tickets, but now I can't. With the new "Ticket Viewer" in 10.6, it asks for two bits of information. First is "Identity" where I'm guessing I should put [email protected] and then password. When I do this I get an alert dialog that says "Kerberos Error -- cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm example.com"
The server is a Mac Pro tower with two Ethernet ports. En2 is connected directly to the Internet and has a static IP with a domain name assigned to it. We'll call it "example.com" for the purposes of the discussion. The En1 is connected to the network switch and has a static LAN IP of 192.168.1.250. All clients inside and outside are able to reach the server via domain name for WWW & AFP, no problem.
nslookup on the static IP address returns "example.com" and nslookup on "example.com" returns the correct static IP address. Open Directory is running and happy including Kerberos. The LDAP search base is "dc=example,dc=com". The LDAP search base is a concept I haven't quite grasped, so I'm just going to assume it's correct.
The domain name is hosted outside by a service provider that forwards all "example.com" requests to the server with the exception of mail.
In DNS, I have three "sections" that look like this:
Name Type Value
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone -
192.168.1.250 Reverse Mapping example.com.
000.000.00.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone -
000.000.000.000 Reverse Mapping example.com.
com. Primary Zone -
mail.example.com. Alias mail.our-email-isp.com.
example.com. Machine Multiple values
www.example.com. Machine Multiple values
NOTE: the zeros aren't actually zeros, they are the static IP assigned to the server/domain
When I select the top element "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." down below "Allows zone transfer" is NOT checked. Nameservers shows the zone as "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." and the Nameserver Hostname as "ns.example.com."
When I select the next line down "192.168.1.250", Resolve 192.168.1.250 to: example.com.
When I select the "000.000.00.in-addr.arpa." element, it has the same settings -- nameservers "000.000.00.in-addr.arpa." and "ns.example.com."
When I select the next line down (our static IP), Resolve 000.000.000.000 to: example.com.
When I select "com." the admin email is populated with a valid email address, Allows zone transfer is NOT checked. In nameservers, Zone is "com." and Nameserver Hostname is "example.com." The mail exchangers are mail2.our-email-isp.com. priority 10 and mail.our-email-isp.com. and priority 20.
When I select the machine "example.com." it shows both the real-world static IP and the 192.168.1.250, same with "www.example.com.".
Am I doing something wrong with this setup? Should "com." be the primary zone or should that be "example.com." ???
I've been thinking about getting rid of the DNS entry for the 192.168.1.250 address altogether, but will the clients in the office suffer performance issues??? I do not think that the client workstations are configured to get DNS from the server anyway. Should the "www.example.com." record be a Machine record or should it be an alias record?
Any help you have to offer is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
In the meantime, I'm going to look around and see if I can understand "Allows zone transfer" and LDAP Search base a bit better.

Okay, I found a lovely article at the following address which I think helps me to clarify what I'm doing wrong. Despite that, I'd still like to have any feedback you have to offer.
http://www.makemacwork.com/configure-internal-dns-1.htm
Also, when editing DNS entries, Server Admin likes to set the nameserver to "ns." -- whatever your domain is. Should I be overriding that and if so, replace it with what?

Help with structuring SQL databases for multiple photo galleries..help!?!

Hello all,
As a new PHP/SQL developer I have found great technical assistance from both this forum and from David Powers and his wonderful books. I am at a crucial point in my web development and although I believe I know which direction I need to go, I am still uncertain and so I appeal to you all for your help, especially David Powers.
The website I am building is one which will house many photo galleries. I was able to successfully modify the code provided in David Powers’ book ‘php Solutions’ so that I got the photo galleries constructed and working in the manner I desired.
That being said, a person browsing my website will be presented with a link to see the photo galleries. There will be five (5) categories in which the photos will be separated, all based on specific styles. Now that I have the galleries working, I need to know how to structure things so that I can create a page, like a TOC (table o’ contents) that shows all photo galleries by displaying a thumbnail image or two along with the description. Perhaps I’ll limit the TOC page to only show the latest 25 galleries, arranged with the most current always on top.
The way I have my galleries set up, I have a separate database for each one, containing the photo filenames and other relevant data. To build my TOC structure, should I have an overall database that contains each gallery database filename along with category? This is where I have no idea what I’m doing so if my question sounds vague, please understand I have no other idea how to ask.
The site will grow to the point of having hundreds, if not thousands of photo galleries. I simply want to know how to (organize them) or otherwise allow me to build a method to display them in a TOC page or pages.
I know this is a bit dodgy, but with some info and questions back from you, I feel confident that I should be able to get my point across.
Lastly, I am still developing this site locally, so I have no links to provide (though I feel that shouldn’t be necessary right now).
Many sincere thanks to you all in advance,
wordman

bregent,
I'm chewing this over in my head, reading up on DB's in 'phpSolutions' and I think that things are slowly materializing.
Here is the structure of the website that I have planned:
MAIN PAGE
User is presented with a link on the main page to select photo galleries (other links are also present). Clicking the link takes them to the Category Page.
CATEGORY PAGE
On this page, the User will then have 5 choices based on categories (photo style). CLicking any of these 5 links will take them to respective TOC pages.
TOC PAGE
On this page, the user is greeted with a vertical list of galleries or photosets; one to three thumbs on the left, a small block of descriptive text on the right (ideally containing date/time info to show how recent the gallery is). Newest galleries appear at the top. Eventually, when there are tens or hundreds of galleries in any given catrgory, I'll need to adopt a method for breaking up the qualntity in groups (we can pick 20 for example) that can be scrolled through using a small navbar. This will keep the TOC Pages from getting endlessly long and avoid endless scrolling. User selects a gallery on this page to view.
THUMBNAIL PAGE
On choosing a gallery, a thumbnail page is generated (I have this working already)
IMAGE PAGE
On selecting any thumbnail in the grid, the user is taken to the full-sized photo with a navbar and photo counter at the top. Navlinks allow forward and back, a link to the first image, a link to the last image and one link back to the thumbnail page. (I have this working already).
I provide this info in an effort to help understand the basic structure of my site. The description above is as close to a step-by-step illustration as possible.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
wordman

Help with buttons loading sections. Code looks awkward!

Hi everyone!
I have a class that creates a navBar with some buttons. Each button loads an external .swf and everything is working just fine BUT the code is really awkward. I also wanted to use TweenLite to add transitions from section to section.
I also wanted to handle the "section change" process from yet another Class (SectionChange) but whenever I try it I fail miserably.
Here's what I have (including the vars), without the SectionChange Class, that's working.
private var _app:Sprite;
private var _navData:Array;
private var _loader:LoadDisplayObject;
private var _container:Sprite = new Sprite();
private var _currentSection:String = "";
public function NavBar(app:Sprite, navData:Array) {
     _app = app;
     _navData = navData;
     _navData.pop();
     addChild(_container);
     build();
private function build():void {
     for (var i:uint;i < _navData.length;i++) {
          var menuBtn:MenuBtn = new MenuBtn(_navData[i]);
          menuBtn.name = _navData[i];
          menuBtn.x = 420 + (menuBtn.width + 3) * i;
          menuBtn.y = 60;
          menuBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick, false, 0, true);
          addChild(menuBtn);
private function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
     if (_currentSection == e.target.name + ".swf") {
          trace("Section Already Loaded");
     } else {
          _currentSection = e.target.name + ".swf";
          _loader = new LoadDisplayObject(_currentSection);
          _loader.addEventListener("displayObjectLoaded", checkChildrenNum, false, 0, true);
          _container.addChild(_loader);
          trace("Another Section were Loaded");
private function checkChildrenNum(e:Event):void {
     if (_container.numChildren > 1) {
          _container.removeChildAt(0);
As I said, this is working, but it's going to be a mess when I start adding the Tweens.
So here is the same code now using the SectionChange class that I tryed to implement.
//Inside NavBar class (same as above)
private function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
//edit: ADDING THE _sectionChange TO THE DISPLAY LIST HELPS A LOT WITH THE ERRORS and returns only one error.
     addChild(_sectionChange);
     _sectionChange = new SectionChange(e.target.name + ".swf");
And here's the SectionChange class:
public class SectionChange extends Sprite {
     private var _loader:LoadDisplayObject;
     private var _container:Sprite = new Sprite();
     private var _currentSection:String = "";
     public function SectionChange(currentSection:String = "") {
          if (_currentSection == currentSection) {
               trace("Section Already Loaded");
          } else {
               _currentSection = currentSection;
               _loader = new LoadDisplayObject(_currentSection);
               _loader.addEventListener("displayObjectLoaded", checkChildrenNum, false, 0, true);
               _container.addChild(_loader);
               trace("Another Section were Loaded");
     private function checkChildrenNum(e:Event):void {
          if (_container.numChildren > 1) {
               _container.removeChildAt(0);
I don't know what I'm doing wrong here but I get tons of errors with this code.
edit: Now that I'm adding the _sectionChange to the display list I only get the following error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
    at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChild()
    at br.com.publishyours::NavBar/onClick()
Thanks again for all the patience!
