How can I switch out graphics in different areas of a movie?

I have a project that I'm working on for a flooring company. They want a Flash movie that allows the user to change the look (product and color) of different areas of the floor.
I have a menu on the left side that designates the three different areas of the floor. I have the two products along with color swatches along the top. I currently have each of the three areas as separate movies that load into a main movie.
These three area movies each contain the color swatches on the top as buttons to change the color of that area using "On Release > Go To Frame Label" actions that displays each of the different colors. These movies each load on a different level based on the selection of the left side menu.
I want the user to be able to go to each of the three areas and change the product/color attributes without losing what they had already done. For instance, if they choose PRODUCT A in RED for AREA 1, then they want to change the product/color on AREA 2, I still want the movie to display PRODUCT A in RED for AREA 1, etc.
The problem I run into is that when you go back and forth between the three areas, the navigation only controls what movie is on the top level and doesn't allow the user to go back to a previous area and change the product/color attribute.
Keep in mind I'm a designer, not a developer. My knowledge of Actionscript is very superficial so don't throw a bunch of "geek speak" at me ;-)

It is not clear how you have the design arranged timeline-wise, but what you should do is get away from using the timeline as much as using movieclips.  Have each area as a different movieclip that you control with the selection buttons.  That way, changing one movieclip's current frame will not disturb another's.

    How can you find out what computers you are sharing with so you can delete some

    Oh, have you brought up so many good points. Not to take us off-topic, but I could rant all day about Eloqua consulting firms who let low-level employees (Eloqua skill-wise) loose on clients projects. Just not fair for either the employee or client. There was one company that did this to me a few years ago, and since then dozens of people have asked me about them for a reference.  Needless to say, they never get a good one from me, and have likely lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in projects because of this. Not worth it in the long-run to cut corners.
    Back to the topic at hand....
    You really hit the nail on the head in so many ways. It really all does come down to one thing: hard work. There are no shortcuts. Always keep learning. Embrace every Eloqua challenge you can, and never say never.  Never be fearful of being wrong by asking something 'silly', or 'looking stupid'. I remember several times that I've submitted Eloqua support tickets, or tickets to other related vendors about things that I was convinced were bugs/major issues. Turned out to be my mistake. But that's ok. You brush off, stand back up, and learn from them.
    And finally, be modest.  You will never know everything about Eloqua. Be willing to learn from others, and know that there actually may be a better way to do something than you may have spent days or weeks working on.

  • How can I find out what apple IDs are tied to an email address

    We are trying to set up FaceTime and got the verification error on the email address.  We went in to the Apple ID account and when we verify the email address, it tells us that it's tied to another AppleID.  My daughter has 3 other AppleIDs and we've checked each one of them and the email address is not tied to any of them.
    How can we find out what apple ID is tied to this email address?
    We have used the "Forgot my Apple ID" function and used all 3 of the different email addresses she's used on the accounts and when we access the one that says there's a duplicate, it takes us to the account and it's the one with the email address that I noted above.
    Any thougts or help?
    Thanks!

    If OS X is reporting you need to remove some items you obviously have a more severe issue.
    To fix your issue is likely too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here as it sounds like a OS X issue, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state which may or may not require new hardware/software installed.
    If your under warranty or AppleCare, take it in for service.
    You can also hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
    Have them look at your Wifi, RAM amount, extra storage and computer backup proceedures in the process.
    Good Luck.

  • How can I find out specifically what plugins are missing? Am told missing, then plugin finder tells me no suitable found, I would look for them myself but have no way to find out what exactly need to look for.

    I go into a wiki created by my employer, and get the bar at top of page almost immediately telling me there are plugins needed. I click the button offered for finding plugins, and almost immediately am told no suitable plugins are found. Plugin help offered is useless, because I have no idea what plugins I need to look for. How can I find out what plugins are being detected as "missing"?

    If there is no LR edits to keep, or if you don't want to keep the existing edits, you could delete the files from LR and import them again.
    Since the file names on disk and file names in LR don't match, you will need to manually match them up by hand individually, if you want to keep the existing LR edits.
    The easiest approach to this -- without doing any script programming -- is to go into each directory, one at a time:
    Select the correct folder in the "folders" pane. Right-click "show parent" as necessary to see the directory tree.
    Sort the LR Library by creation date.
    Using the details view in File Explorer, sort the files by creation date (add to the viewed columns if necessary).
    Assuming no more than 1 image per second, the files should line up.

  • How can I find out which vi's are dynamic?

    I am working on a project made up of hundreds of VIs. I have to make an standalone executable version of it. I was not the original developer. Is there a way I can scan the vi's to find out which of them are dynamic? What should I be looking for as a telltale sign of being dynamic (What makes a vi dynamic?)
    Are all vit's dynamic? (I was told by my senior developer to include all vit's in the dynamic section of the build dialog box.)
    Message Edited by rashid19672008 on 02-27-2008 03:25 PM

    This is not a property of a VI, but rather a way of using it. You can call any VI either way (or both ways), so whether a VI is called dynamically depends on your code.
    One way of finding whether a VI does not have static calls is to open all the VIs in the hierarchy at the same time and then go over each of them in a loop, open a reference to it and check its "Callers" property. If the array is empty, it means that this VI is not called by any other VI currently in memory and might be called dynamically. It might also mean that it is an old VI and is not used any more.
    Another option is to create a copy of the hierarchy using File>>Save With Options. LabVIEW will only copy the VIs which are called statically and you can then compare the hierarchies for files which are only found in the original.

  • How can I find out where certain prompts are used in a BI application?

    I have 2 questions...
    How do I identify all the dashboards where a specific object from my catalog is used in a BI application?
    Similiarly, how can I determine all the reports and prompts that use a specific field from my subject area?
    Thanks,
    Darcy

    Open catalog manager and create a report. That report can include column formula(field), table, catalog name and etc and will create a report that you can download to an excel dump giving all the reports and report paths that use those selected attributes.
    Open catalog manager--> go to tools--> create report and select all you need
    Hope it helps

    The only way that I know of for viewing your purchase history is on a computer's iTunes (via the Store > View Account menu option), though you should be able to see (and manage) if you have any auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
    For things such as apps, music etc you should have received email receipts from the store.

  • Datasheet pasting - how can I figure out where the errors are?

    For example, I am trying to paste a fairly large chunk of data into the Datashet view to use in a list.  (about 30 columns by 9000 rows, so 270,000 cells.) When I try to page, it tells me that about 800 could not be pasted, but does not tell me WHICH
    cells, or even which COLUMNS.   I am sure that if I could just figure out which cells were not being pasted, I could easily figure out WHY there is an error.  Can anybody give me any useful tips to help me pinpoint which columns/cells are having
    the problem? Thanks!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that to paste 270,000 cells data into the Datashet view to use in a list.
    Please make sure the view have sufficient columns, otherwise the paste operation will fail.
    A paste operation will also fail in the following situations:
    Some or all of the destination cells are read-only
    Pasting the contents into the selected cells will make them fail the validation rules
    Attempting to paste data that does not match the data type of the destination cells
    Attempting to paste data into a calculated column

  • I lost my pictures on my phone when I did the back up procedure wrong with my computer.  How can I find out if the pictures are on ICloud or on my sims card?

    How do I find pictures that are no longer on my phone?  I am not sure if they are in ICloud or on my sims card.

    If your phone is off, there is no way to locate it other than physically looking for it. It cannot be remotely turned on. Even if it were on, you would have had to have Find My Phone setup/activated/turned on BEFORE you lost your phone to have any hope of finding it.
