How do I make a Mouse Trace line (puzzle type) to move forward in a Flash site

I'm wondering how I would go about making a Mouse Trace, on a line that's preset but my choosing to let people enter into my Flash and/or progress throughout it. Basically, I have a picture of say, the number 5, I want to be able to have people use the mouse cursor to trace the 5 from one end to the next, and once completed the sites move forward. Though, I will be using my company logo which is a bit more advanced than a single number or letter form. If no one is sure what I'm talking about I've added a picture to demonstrate what I'm trying to do.
Another idea I have if this one can't be accomplished, is a slide bar.
Basically, it would look like a timeline control in say, VLC, and I would have the user drag a button from one side to the next to unlock and move forward.
Though that may seem a bit more simple that my main idea, I would also like to be able to get really advanced with this second function and make a series of slide bars, say, 3, and they have to be slid in a certain manner, like slide bar 1,3,2 then it unlocks and moves forward.
Any and ALL thoughts and ideas are welcome.

if you can assume your shapes are traced when a user starts at one point, drags the mouse to your end-point and does NOT go outside the shape boundary, you can use a bitmapdata hittest and loop to check the mouse stays inside your shape and you can check that they start and end within a determined distance of the start and end.

Hi! Dwagner, once again ...
I've just got my Mac last friday ... i'm still getting amazed with this new world to me ... eehe .. quite different ... but
... "i can do it, i can do it" eheeh
i'm in that period that a new question appears at almost every mouse click ... lol
so ... can you help me (once again) ..
you said you had your hard drive with this settings...
"You can partition for OSX (extended Journal) - read/write by only OSX or read only by Windows via BootCamp
You can partition for Windows (NTFS) - readable by only Windows
OR - you can format with ex-FAT and this is read/write capable for both operating systems."
how did you formated the partition in NTFS ? ... on the mac? using the "disk utility" ? or did you use another program to do so ...?
i hope i'm not "bugging" you ... this might be a silly question for most of people ... but right now ... it's a major question for me ... ehehe

How can I make the mouse follow as I point?

I am brand new to captivate and incredibly frustrated. I'm
trying to record a web site walkthrough and have selected
"Demostration." No matter what setting I change, the mouse only
moves when I click, but I want to point to things as I narrate. Can
anyone help me understand how to make that happen?

Welcome to our community, murphisto
Captivate doesn't exactly work in this manner. Basically here
is how the process works. You open an application. You open
Captivate and configure it to record the application. There are
different ways to record. You elected Demonstration. When recording
in Demonstration mode, the following happens.
Where you click or type, Captivate captures the screen. The
screen capture becomes the background image for the slide. The
mouse coordinates are tracked. In other words, where it started and
where it stopped. So each slide has a single mouse movement. On the
first slide where mouse movement was recorded, you may adjust the
start and end spots. But each slide afterwards only offers you the
ability to adjust the mouse ending spot. The starting spot is
determined by where it STOPPED on the slide before.
You may wish to investigate using Full Motion Recording
(FMR). But if you choose to go that route, you need to be aware of
some factors. Captivate was never designed to be a Full Motion
product. It's better than it used to be, but far from perfect. If
you do record in full motion, keep it very brief. Just a few
minutes worth. If you find this method of recording and playback
are what you feel are best, you will find yourself constantly
frustrated with Captivate. In that case, you should investigate a
different product that was designed with full motion in mind.
Camtasia Studio, Fraps or one of the others.
Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

How can I make a custom one-line-per-test rpt using TestStand?

I have written a 1-line-per-test report in another LabView application. How can I do the same within TestStand 4.0? I would like to display the usual information: Description, Measurement Reading & Units, Pass/Fail, Lower Limit, and Upper Limit all in a concise, one line rpt. Isn't most of this data available within TestStand?

I would have figured this to be a pretty common use case, so I was wondering if anyone has made/edited a report sequence that does this?
For example, the default report text looks something like:
UUT Report

   Units:                    V
   Limits:
   Low:                   0.1000
   High:                  0.5000
   Comparison Type:          GELE (>= <=)
   Module Time:              0.0014
Memory DataBus Test POST:      Passed
   Module Time:              0.0012
V_BATT:                        Passed
   Measurement:              3.1200
   Limits:
   Low:                   3.0000
   High:                  3.2000
   Comparison Type:          GELE (>= <=)
   Module Time:              0.0009
End Sequence: MainSequence
End UUT Report
whereas I'd love something like:
UUT Report

V_BATT      Passed   3.1200   3.0000   3.2000   GELE (>= <=)   0.0009
End Sequence: MainSequence
End UUT Report

How do you make the "mouse down event" achnolage the area of an image

Hi
I am trying to program a simple game.
In this game I would like to insert
giff images, that when "clicked on"
by the mouse, will finallly return some kind of action.
In the book that I am reading, I have learnt how to
use the basics of the "mousedown event".
This I found out would be no use to me for what I am trying to achieve
at this moment,
because it only alows me to choose one coordinate at a time.
Is there any class that will able me to click anywhere on the "area" of the giff image instead of only one coordinate?
I hope I am clear enough..

And this is how you create the JLabel:
JLabel j = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("yourImage.gif"));

How do you make a horizontal average line in a scatter plot?

In any version of Numbers, is there a way to make a horizontal average trendline? Not a "moving average", but one line that is the average that goes through the data points on a scatter plot.

sflakg wrote:
hit a few roadblocks.
I tried:
1. using the crop tool to make the canvas bigger with a transparent background.
2. Used lasso tool over people in group shot (total of 5) and saved the selection
3. Tried content aware scale to raise the image, but it keeps stretching out the people.
Any thoughts on what else I could try?
Rather than trying to stretch it taller, try to squeeze it horizontally. There are methods for telling it what to protect in the image if it gets touchy.
Another possibility is to use Content Aware Fill to make up part at the top and bottom, without any stretching.

How do I make the mouse pointer bigger?

How do you go about making the mouse pointer bigger on the IMAC?

I think it is much easier for learners, but can I suggest these forums are excellent for general help. However, do find a moment to fill in your machine details in your profile; model identifier, current OS version and RAM figure. It's a great help to those helping you to know what machine they are needing to think about.

How can i make random but custom lines as particles?

Hello, which kind of setting, option or effect can acomplish something like random lines that look like a wave/twirl floating around could let me make an animation or appearance like the photo attached here?
I already made a custom line that moves like a wave (sightly deforming the rect line) and i tried to replicate the effect, but the lines doesnt get any kind of depth like the reference image, for this i made a custom line in another layer, duplicated the object alongside the view, and move the elements around the place.
All of this i made it manually, but now i'm trying to find a more automatic solution for this, or a better option too.

You can create a custom particle using a nested comp. Stroke + Glow or any number of techniques can be used to create your wavy lines. You may also want to try using a shape layer and the repeater. It may take more than one instance of your squiggle line shape to achieve the effect you want.

How can I make a half-circle line?

I'm finding I can do simple but marvelous graphics with Pages. One thing I would like to be able to do (in a particular graphic) is create a 'half' circle: as if I could take a standard Pages circle, remove the fill, and then ERASE one half of the remaining 'line' or 'stroke' circle (as one can easily do in Photoshop).
Would someone know if this is even possible? Or what other app I might use to create a half circle on some kind of transparent bg that would import into my Pages layout document?
Ben

Though new to this discussion forum, I've read all the answers posted so far to your original question. Yet, another technique for drawing semicircles or other complicated figures can be suggested by taking a picture of a part of the screen that you select. To do this either use a keyboard shortcut (such as Cmnd Ctrl Shft 4) for copying a picture to the clipboard with the Finder or use a different shortcut (such as Cmnd Shft A) for saving a picture to the desktop with the Grab utility.
The clipboard image can be pasted directly into Pages (use Cmnd V), but the desktop picture would need two steps (use Cmnd Shft V for selecting and inserting). While it may be possible to change the background transparency of a desktop picture, I have been able to satisfy my drawing needs so far simply by continuing to draw over the opaque images that have been pasted from the clipboard and then perhaps taking another picture. In either case, it is important to keep the selection handles of the final group as conservatively constrained as possible.

How do I make my design view line up with my live view?

Thanks.

Unfortunately you cant. Design view is only a 'guidance' POV. Use Live View to see how it will really look like or test on browser.

How do I make FF4 stop asking me to ok every time facebook (or any other site) 'redirects' (refreshes, in reality, but it says redirect)?

Every time a page refreshes (particularly facebook), firefox interrupts whatever I'm doing (even if ff is minimized) and makes me 'ok' it! Are there any fixes for this? I've already told ff4 to not warn me when a page attempts to redirect, but it does it anyway.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
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 />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
If not, see this: <br />

There is a black box on my screen that is announceing everything i do: ex if i go over file it will say file 22 items. how do i make it go away?

how do i make it go away?
ex: if i move my mouse over file, it will say file 22 items

Hi,
This sounds like a setting needs changing in the Finder's View menu. Choose View>Show View Options or hit Command-J. Uncheck Show Item Info in the resulting dialogue.
