Horizontal bars with SD movies

So...I'm a new ATV (2nd gen) user. We recently moved and I'm just not a 100% sure that everything is setup the way it's supposed to be...
When I rent movies on my ATV, I often have a bar at the top and bottom when viewing the movie on my HDTV (Samsung LN40A550). For example, I rented Friday Night Lights (the movie) last night, and I had the horizontal bars. I only rent SD content on the ATV since my connection is not very fast.
I realize that most movies have a higher aspect ratio and that sometimes bars on the top and bottom are common, but I wanted to make sure that THIS was the reason and not some incorrect setting on my TV...especially, since I'm watching everything in SD.
When I rent Desperate Housewives, the whole screen is filled up.
Since I'm new to renting iTunes movies, I'm just not sure what to expect. And we don't have our TV hooked up to a cable service so I can't tell what other content looks like on our TV (we live out of the country and the cable options leave much to be desired).
Thanks so much.

it's correct.
there are various different widescreen aspect ratios, and depending on which one the movie is in will depend how much of the screen is filled.

Horizontal bar with red for negative and green for positive?

I need to use CF9 to create horizontal bar chart where the intensity of the red (negative) is determined by the amount of negativity of the values and similarly the intensity of the green is based on the amount of positivity of the values.
See attached snapshot. Ignore the value label.
Can CF10 do this. I briefly looked but does not appear so.
Any advice? THANKS!!

Yes, with the new charting engine it is possible to do this with rules. Check out my example at http://www.cfuser.com/library/demos/index.cfm?do=charting&get=bcr. You have to set the threshholds and the colors. The colors are two part to allow for gradients. I have also just posted a write-up at http://www.cfuser.com/rules-preview-zoom-and-flash/

At the bottom of an account website, a VeriSign gold padlock is visible on a horizontal bar. This bar takes up needed screenspace on this site. Can I make it so firefox does not display this bar? (even if it needs to be done manually each time). Thanks!

Here is a screenshot of the horizontal bar with the VeriSign padlock:

Horizontal Spry Menu Bar with Horizontal Sub Menu

I have created a horizontal menu bar with only one main menu item leading to a sub menu. I would like this sub menu to display horizontally also, instead of vertically as added by default.
I am relatively new to dreamweaver and would appreciate any help possible.

Came across the fix by accident thru extensions in menu bar,
and choice of cursor for each section. Feeling happy! Happy New
Year everyone.

How do I create a vertical side menu with its own styling separate from the horizontal bar above it?

Hello. I need assistance in styling my side menu. I would like for it to have a different style than the horizontal bar that is above it. I would like that the side menu have a black background and with white text vertically aligned to the left. But I would also like that the mouse's arrow to turn into a hand when it touches the letters instead of during the entire width of the background. When I began styling the text, everything aligned fine until I added the links in html code. When I added the <a> tag and created a link to another page, the text goes from the left to the center of the black box. And the entire width is a link rather than just the words. To correct this, I tried renaming the div tag containg the menu. I tried renaming the ul tag. And I tried renaming the li tag and changing the declarations. None of these ideas worked. I thought about changing the <a> tag in the head of the document, but that didn't change the styling either. I also tried creating the black background by inserting a black box as a background image with the links over top of the image. It didn't work. I would appreciate your assistance.   I will supply the coding if anyone is interested in looking at it. Thank you.
Nora.

I can post a link to the page. But I will need to upload it. It will take a day to show. But after I wrote to you. I began working with creating additional a:link styles. I was able to create a shortened clickable area of one the words in the vertical menu. Your advice reinforced what I have learned. The following code shows that I started to make different styles of the a:link for each word on the vertical menu. I think that this will work. To indicate the different a:link style I used bold letters . Thank you very much.

Displaying a fraction with a horizontal bar between the denominator and numerator

Hello guys
I have a dynamic textfield and am going to display textual content in it dynamically.
But I have a fraction in that textual part and I want to display that fraction as a "typical fraction with a horizontal bar between the denominator and numerator". Hope you understand what I am asking.
Please look at the attached image.
Thanks for your input.
cheers

@dmennenoh
Thanks for your input.
So its kind of superimposing Sprite or MovieClip that has a fraction.Basically I have to make two textfields and put them together over a horizontal bar so that it looks like a fraction and then place it over a big textfield where the fraction should be.
Its a very long process.
OMG, isn't there any other easy way to do this?

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Help, I just gave iTunes the assignment to update my iPhone5 to iOS7 and now it gives an unknown error (6). The iPhone is still hooked to my laptop, and shows the black screen and bright Apple with the horizontal bar, telling it's in the middle of something. What should I do?

DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

Horizontal progress bar with interpolate color

Looking for a control "horizontal progress bar" with interpolate color and markers like control "meter"

If I get this right - you are looking for a progress bar that changes colour as the number changes. You can set the colour of the progress bar using property nodes. I have included a VI here that I used for testing this. This VI changes the colour from green to red as the progress bar advances. Colours are stored as 3 bytes: Red, Green and Blue.
I hope that this helps.

Horizontal bar is frozen

Mozilla Firefox for Ubunto canonical 1.0. My horizontal bar is frozen.
I see the horizontal bar down the Firefox window but I cannot move it, it's frozen.
I tried just close and re-open Firefox, but the same behavior in different websites.
Working with Ubuntu 12.04

Looks like a problem with detecting the current width of the browser window.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I create a horizontal scrollbar with a centered thumb that scrolls content from both sides?

I am having trouble figuring out how to create a horizontal scrollbar component either by itself or nested inside a data list component that will have it's thumb centered in the track when running and reveal content from either the right or left side when the thumb is moved. The furthest I have managed to get is to create a data list component with a scrollbar component inside that has a centered thumb that reveals content from the right side of the list (0 through 10 of the items) but only reveals blank area when tracking the other way. Is there a way to create say… negative items in the data list… 0 through -10? Or am I approaching this the wrong way. Please help. Thanks.

Mykola,
Thanks. I guess I was hoping for an answer that addressed my question from a designer's point of view rather than a developers'. As a designer with over ten years experience using Adobe products for print work it is difficult to understand why "centered" is such a complicated concept when designing art for use on the web. It is so frustrating to realize that most containers for images and text can only be resized by pushing and pulling handles located on the right and bottom; Catalyst seems like a great start but if Adobe really wanted to impress the "design" community it might consider putting all that supercharged code underneath the hood of some more familiar "design" tools. Maybe a "catalytic converter" would allow the introduction of a "centered" tool for every element.
After all, why is it literally twenty-five times more difficult, requiring the use of three additional programs to create a component that functions exactly like a typical data list and scroll bar with the exception that the thumb is "centered" on the track and reveals images from both the right and left. For that matter why not also have as an option a thumb that snaps to the bottom of the track and reveals images from the top… and one that snaps to the right and reveals images from the left when you run the project? It just seems so logical to expand the scroll bar component to include these options.
I am very glad to have Catalyst and will redesign my project to fit within the constraints of the tools available in the program but it seems that if Adobe is really serious about Catalyst being a window into the world of web design for designers/AD's that perhaps it might benefit by focusing on what might improve the program from the designer's point of view. I hate to say it but the Catalyst forum is already rife with answers to questions that are riddled with code… Literally. And to be honest most designers don't have the time to decipher that code. As a designer I work regularly and have a deep understanding of Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro, Final Cut Pro, Final Draft and modo. I do hi-res assembly, retouching, design and layout, identity, production, 3D modeling and rendering, video editing… and before I switch to using Catalyst for web mock-ups I am going to need a more "designer" friendly set of tools and definitely a "centered" control.
I really think Adobe is fantastic. But I also think it could take a lesson from a great little company called Luxology. I tried learning 3D modeling and rendering for years with programs like Lightwave, Maya and others, always with mixed results. Then Luxology came along and actually delivered on their promise to create a 3D program for artists. What was the factor that made all the difference? Well, besides the Apple award winning interface and sets of tools it was the training available on their sight. The program itself ships with thirty-six hours of quicktime movies. And hundreds more hours available for download. I have never yet not been able to quickly and easily find an answer to a question I had about how to accomplish something in modo. You know how long I have already spent on Adobe TV searching through videos and on the Catalyst forum searching through topics trying to get an answer to what I thought was a very simple question? Way too many. If I have a question about a Luxology product that I can't find the answer to do you know what I do? I call Brad Peebler, the President of Luxology. I'm not special nor do I work for some special development house with special privileges that is simply their policy. And that policy has paid big dividends. Both ILM and Pixar has licensed their technology.
Well… I apologize for this long response but I really think that if Catalyst is going to attract the market it wants that it will have to consider putting some designers on the development team. After all… Isn't that what the promo videos tout… Finally a web design program for designers. Well, I guess we'll see.

Flickering Horizontal Bar on Late 2008 MBP

I have late 2008 mbp (5,1)....NVIDIA 9400M and 9600M GT/Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93 Ghz, 4GB RAM
Having issues where on random occasions (especially if computer screen is open and laptop is just placed on a desk-so movement?), a horizontal bar on the bottom of the screen about 4.5 cm in height begins to rapidly flicker. It started happening about a week ago, and twice it has caused the computer to freeze (reboot necessary).
Also, although temp sensors seem to be giving normal values, I have been noticing that the entire surface of the laptop is getty very hot (hotter than I have normally experienced from the laptop under a normal load).
Graphics card issue, screen connection issue? Any thoughts of what it is?

Display problems do not improve over time. Make an appointment with Genius bar at the Apple store and bring it in. If you have Applecare and is still within the 3 year warranty period, your saved, other wise be prepared to pay. I have experienced display issues twice.

Horizontal Bar Chart and Overlaying Line Chart

I am using SSRS 2008 and developing my reports in BIDS.
I have a report with two data points. I want to chart the first as a bar (horizontal) chart and then the second as an overlaying line chart.
I created both data series, originally, as a bar chart. I have clicked on the second series in the "Drop Data Fields Here" area and changed the chart to a line chart. When I do that, it changes both series to a line chart.
However, if I use the column (vertical) chart for the first series, it will let me make the second one a line chart.
Is this a limitation of SSRS 2008? Can I not have one data point be the horizontal bar chart and the second one a line chart?
If so, are there any suggestions how to get around this?
Thanks.

Both charts for SSRS 2005/2008 are very limited when it comes to horizontal charts and are infact supporting only left-to-right bar charts, with no ability to combine them with other charting types (lines, areas, points etc.). For a SSRS charting solution that supports all types of charting type combinations in left-to-right and right-to-left horizontal fashion you can use Nevron Chart for SSRS - www.nevron.com. Besides a huge number of charting types and subtypes (most of which are not available in the MS Chart for SSRS 2008) it also provides better image quality in 2D and 3D modes, more settings, has support for rich text formatting in texts, has image filters, ability to customize via C# code and implements many more large and small charting related details.
Best regards,
Crank
