How do I give a user the option to skip a mc/frame?

Here's my problem: I am building a short "introduciton" movie that an orthodontist will show prospective patients. It has 32 pages (frames) each is it's own mc. I have a btn that the user can click and go to a screen that will allow them to choose to dispay or omit 6 of the pages (becasue they may not pertain to their practice). I have no clue how to do this since I am a graphic artist and a novice to Flash. I've watched as many tutorial movies as my brain can handle, and it's about to burst! From what I've read, I think I need to use Flash cookies (local), so that the choices will be remembered. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

I.m not sure how to make that work. The user makes the choice and then goes it goes back to the beginning. It will auto-play frame to frame (I have a dipatch event at the end of each mc). I think what I need is a true/false for each option and then at the frame before the optional frames it would read that true/false and either advance to the nextFrame() or gotoAndPlay("#frame after skipped frame")...right? How do I write the AS3 to make the choices true or false and how do I write the if/then statement? Someone had done this all in Authorware for me before, but AS3 is really different.

How can I give an user the right to change passwords

I'm still absolute server beginner, so I have to ask here.
How can I give users the right to change passwords or to view calendars?
I didn't find it, yet.
I've found an option to change rights, when I click on the user with two fingers (right mouse button). But all options in this menue are grey.

Hi Holger,
These are two fundamentally different issues. I'll try to address them each. For both you will need to have OpenDirectory set up (see the Users Next Steps list in the Server app). Once that is done. Additionally you will need the Server Admin Tools 10.7. Once you have them installed, you can specify the OpenDirectory password requirements for users
User Passwords in OpenDirectory
On the server, open Server Admin app.
Connect to you server, then click on the OpenDirectory service.
Click on the Settings icon.
Click on the Policies tab.
Click on the Passwords sub-tab, and you can set all the criteria for password requirements here.
Resetting Passwords
Users must log in as network users on the client computer.
Once logged in, to change the password, open System Preferences.
Click on Users & Groups.
The user icon will be a silhouette with stars in the background. This means it is a network user. Click on the Password tab at the top.
Click the Change Password ... button to change the password.
Calendars in iCal are much like RSS feeds: users need to subscribe to them, like we discussed in our other posting. Network users will automatically be given a network iCal calendar, and will be automatically subscribed to it. However, if you want to automatically add subscribed calendars to network user's accounts, you will need to use ProfileManager.
On the server, open Server app.
Click on the Profile Manager menu item.
Make sure that iCal service is running (green indicator next to it). Click on the "Include configuration for services: ...". Make sure the iCal icon is listed there.
Click the "Sign configuration profiles" checkbox.
Turn Profile Manager on.
Once Profile Manager has loaded (the gear at the bottom right will no longer be spinning), go ahead and click the Open Profile Manager link.
Log into Profile Manager as your directory admin user.
Click on the Groups menu item to give all users of a specific group access to the wiki calendar. This is best if you have a wiki for a group and want to share that calendar. Use the Everyone group to add this calendar for all users.
Click on Users to give access to only specific users.
Edit the profile for the group(s) or user(s) you selected by highlighting that group and clicking the edit button.
Scroll down and select the CalDav item on the left.
Click configure. Here you will need to enter the specific details for that callendar based on the subscription details you get when subscribing to the calendar via the wiki.
After all that you still need to configure each client computer to be set up for profile management, which really is a topic of its own. I recommend the following tutorials:
Installing OS X Lion Server
OS X Lion Server Administration Tool Tour
Setting Up Profile Manager on OS X Lion Server
Using Profile Manager on OS X Lion Server
Hope this helps, good luck!

What's the best way to give a user the option of stopping a vi or rerunning it? I wrote something that works but I imagine it's not the best way to do it.

I have a VI that runs a stepper motor then stops. I wanted the operator to have the option of rerunning the VI or stopping it completely. To do this I added a while loop around the entire VI.I have an example VI showing how I accomplished this, but I'm sure there's a more efficient approach. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Solved!

There is almost never a good reason to use the Stop Sign Abort Execution function.
Your while loop is fine. What you really want to do is make a state machine that has at least 2 states. 1. Running the test. 2. Idle, waiting for the user to hit a run button again, or hitting an End program button.

For one of our users the option to send a document as attachment has dissapeared in office programs such as word, excel etc

Hi,
For one of our users the option to send an email as attachment has disappeared in office programs such as word, excel etc
As you can see from the above these are the normal options you expect to see but for the user affected they get the option to send as a Text document, a pdf or an XPS the option to send as a attachment has gone.
I have logged into her PC with my account and it was fine, i have had a look and no one else has reported this throughout the company and looking for answers online has proven fruitless.
Any Ideas on why this option would have changed to only allow the user to send it as text.

Hi,
The "Send as Attachment" option only works when Outlook and word are installed from the same suite. That is required.
Thanks,

It's stopped giving me the option to skip ads on youtube?

Hello,
I downloaded Yosemite today after months of putting it off as I didn't like the way it looked.
It finished, and I have found that on youtube - I no longer have the option to skip adverts, including the long 4 minute ones, when some of the videos I want to watch are barely that long.
Does anyone know why this has happened? I use adblock, but that isn't blocking them either. Thanks!

I do believe Yosemite has anything to do with it. I have the same issue recently with Mavericks as well. I also am using adblock. Perhaps the sites are getting smarter to keep you from skipping the ads. I'm having tho issue mostly with Safari. If I use Chrome most ads get blocked.

Give user the option to update manually, don't do it automatically without user's permission

This is not really a question, but rather a suggestion or complain.
i just saw my firefox upgraded to newest version which i dont remember giving it the permission to.
I know there are many people said it is important because the update fixes security issues.
just an fyi, there are people who doesnt care about security in the browser.
and another thing, there are people who has limited data plan. If the program keeps updating itself which is eating up the monthly data plan, it would cause the user unexpected increase in bill. If anyone would pay for the bill then fine.
and there are people who run firefox on a slower PC, if the program keeps updating itself, the program will eat up more resources resulting an even slower PC, the program wouldnt be useable by then.
I saw people complaining about extension/plugin compatibility too, so it is another problem.
Please keep in mind auto updates are lame and stupid.
thanks for reading this.

<blockquote>I saw people complaining about extension/plugin compatibility too, so it is another problem.</blockquote>
Mozilla isn't responsible for plugins/extensions being compatible on each Firefox version. It's up to the developers to do that. If it doesn't work on Firefox 31 for example, then that's sad. Just wait for an update
There was a previous way by going through the Options menu to disable updates but after disabling it through there, when you would go to Help > About Firefox, it would update regardless of that setting.
I use the below to prevent automatic updates.
You can set these prefs in <code>about:config</code> to disable automatic updating: 
app.update.auto - false 
app.update.enabled - false 
app.update.silent - false 
Another thing to do would be to go into <code>about:config</code> again and set these prefs to blank. Right click > Modify > delete existing > OK.
*app.update.url
*app.update.url.details
*app.update.url.manual

How can i give multiple users admin access?

I would like to give another user on my macbook pro admin access, so that they can install programs without having to ask me for the password each time. I do not want the password to be the same for my profile, because I don't want them getting into my account. So is it possible to have a separate password for admin use only? This might be a dumb question and I know their is probably a simple way to do this, but I'm new to macs so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Convert a standard user to an administrator
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
Click the lock icon to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password.
Select a standard user or managed user in the list of users, then select “Allow user to administer this computer.”

How to set multiple home pages, the option is gone (replaced my hard drive and had to reinstall firefox) This version seems to only offer tabs, not pages?

My old version of Firefox had the option for me to set multiple home pages. My hard drive recently failed and had to be replaced, so I had to install the newest version of Firefox. The only option I see when I go to tools, options, general is to set the one home page. (and maybe tabs) I would like to open several of the same pages every time I open my Firefox. Does anyone know how to get this back, or which version had this feature so I can downgrade to that particular version?
Also, I was wondering if there is a way to get the bookmarks I had on the old version back. I think they are lost forever, but if anyone knows, I would be thankful. I do still have the old hard drive, but the way it failed was actually when you tried to open any browser, the hard drive would go and blue screen, this is why the old hard drive had to be replaced. Thanks. :)

So you mean you want to open new windows with the same page when you open Firefox?
[[How to set the home page#w_set-more-than-one-website-as-your-home-page|Set more than one website as your home page]] should help if you want to open multiple pages when you open Firefox.
As for recovering your bookmarks, you can try to plug that hard drive into a working computer, and then read [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] to copy your bookmarks from it. However, if it is failing you may not be able to do that.

How do I get all of the options to appear on a Webroot Toolbar?

In my Webroot toolbar in Explorer options such as sign in or sign out appear. In Firefox the toolbar is checked in toolbars, and the toolbar is there but not the options.

There's a few ways of doing it. The following article is worth checking through.

How to print a message in the Window created out of a Frame Object

Hello,
I created a class extended from Thread class
I want to print a message in Run method : in the Window created out of a Frame Object in the main function.
I used System.out.println function, but nothing is printed on the screen
what other function can I use, without using Drawstring method in ie public void paint(Graphics g)Thank you

Erm...I don't know whether this is acceptable or not, but...if you want to create out of the main frame, why dun u you create a new frame with a button there, so it seems like a pop-up windows (***or like JOptionPane.showMessageDialog)

Dreamweaver CC fluid grid site, how do I give user the option to view desktop version on mobile?

Hi all, I've just built my first fluid grid site with Dreamweaver CC, just wondering what is the easiest way to give an option to the user to view the desktop version on a mobile device (so they can zoom-in and pinch around and get to see what would be shown on a desktop). My mobile version of the site is a lot different to the desktop. I've kept all the original code structure, css, media quries and use of boilerplate etc intact from the original dreamweaver cc template. If someone could please show the best way to do this would be great

Hi Ben, yes I know but I come across people who insist on using the desktop version of sites because they are more familiar with the layout of the buttons and dont want to relearn etc, I come across this many times on sites I visit myself actually where I don't have time to relearn the navigation of the site because I know the desktop version so well, if in a rush etc.
Hi Mary Blight its definatley possible, I mean I could create a new css file with desktop version only css and use jquery to change the mobile css to this new css file when a user clicks "view desktop button", its just that I must have over 2000 lines of css and about 200 classes thats properties are spread over the 3 different media queries (with different inhertence), and I really don't want to have to manually go through each if I have to.
Was hoping I might be able to use some view port meta tags like how apple does on their devices
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> something like this to fool the device into thinking its a desktop site, or something along those lines etc.

ITunes only gives iPhone 5 the option to restore from backup or eject

I know this question has been asked in the past, and I have read many threads and articles on this question, but I still have not been able to find a way to backup my iPhone 5 (running iOS 6.1.2) to my computer without losing all the data on it.
Brief explanation of my problem.
I purchased an iPhone 5 new back in December 2012 Removed it from the box, powered it on and started entering my contacts from my old (non-smart) phone by hand. After done entering my contacts, I then proceeded to setup Messages, iTunes, the App store etc with the Apple ID of my wife's phone since we really don't have a need for separate Apple ID's.
All works fine with all our Apple iOS devices.
My problem lies with me not being able to plug my iPhone 5 into my computer and being able to make a backup to the computer. No matter what computer I plug the iPhone 5 into, I get the Welcome to Your New iPhone screen. If I right-click on the phone in the left hand column, my only options are Eject (or Restore from backup... if I plug the iPhone 5 into the same computer that my wife's iPhone has been backed up to) as seen in this image.
How do I get the phone to be recognized by my computer so I can do a backup to the computer like my wife's iPhone. I currently do NOT have a backup anywhere of my iPhone 5?
Is the only time you can associate an iOS device to a computer is when it is brand new before being used?
By comparison, I can plug my iPad 2 (running iOS 6.1.3) into any computer (be it the one it is synced and backed up to, or a completely different machine) and iTunes will show the device, ask to update the firmware if an update is needed, and allow me to see what is currently installed, drag and drop items to certain apps that allow it, see the breakdown at the bottom of the screen as to what percent of music, apps, pictures, etc are installed on it and such.
So, why can't I see my iPhone 5 in the same manner when I connect it to a computer?
Any and all advice greatly appreciated.
If any further info is needed, I will be glad to supply it.
Thanks in advance to all that respond.

I would like to preface that I have NOT tried what I am about to post.
I came across this forum post that seems to answer the question I originally posted above.
The post is will itunes erase my iphone if I set it up as new?
Based on this post, it seems that if I create a new library using the hold Shift Key while starting ITunes and then selecting Create library, and then starting iTunes in this new library, when connecting my iphone I should be able to select the Setup as new and then based on the postings in the above link, give the phone a name and it should backup the phone without deleting anything from it.
Again, I have not tried this myself as I finally broke down and created a new user on my PC to do the backup. I came across this link after I had finished my backup.
Just thought someone might find this useful.

How can we give a user, alter procedure privilege on only one procedure of another schema.

Scenerio:
User A owns a procedure
called 'TESTPROCEDURE'.
User B has execute privilege on 'TESTPROCEDURE';
Now i want to give user
B , alter procedure privilege for only one procedure i.e 'TESTPROCEDURE';
I do not want to give
ALTER ANY PROCEDURE to user B since the user just wants to alter only 1
procedure.
How can we do that?
Thanks & regards,
Mohd Shahid Shaikh.

Why do you want to do this?
If I'm allowed to alter a procedure, I can alter it to do something completely different. I can modify the procedure to do anything that B can do. If that's what you want to allow, why not just log in as A?
There is no way to grant B the ability to alter a single procedure. You could, I suppose, create another procedure in A that accepts a DDL statement as a string, checks to see if it meets your criteria, and then executes it. You could then grant B the ability to execute this new procedure. A could then send an appropriate CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE statement to the new procedure that replaces TestProcedure. But that's a fair amount of effort and complexity to deal with (particularly when there are errors)-- if you can explain the underlying business problem, we may be able to help you come up with alternate technical solutions.
