How do you make a movie clip play in CS4

Hello, I used Flash MX a long time ago (beginner level) then
left it for years. I'm now using CS4 and am stuck. I have a stage
with a movie clip placed onto it. I want to create a simple 'click
to play' button so that the movie clip only plays on click of this
button. Can someone please give me a step by step (idiot-proof)
guide on how to do this please

Cases that use to be _property in AS2 are now just property
in AS3. So _x is x, _y is y, and _visible is visible. This should
work:
function showPlay(event:MouseEvent):void
play_text.visible = true;
pause_text.visible = false;

How can you make a movie clip zoom in on play?

I simply have a rectangle vector image of a landscape and I want it to zoom in when I play it...and I guess stop at a certain point. Not a clicking function or roll over, just when I start up my swf file or go to that specific scene I want it start zooming (gradually, not fast either). Please help me. Thank you!

Convert the image into a movieclip, give it an instance name, and look into using the Tween class to provide the gradually changes of the scaleX and scaleY values of whatever object you wish to zoom.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var twX:Tween = new Tween(instanceName, "scaleX", Regular.easeIn, startValue, endValue, zoomSecs, true);
var twY:Tween = new Tween(instanceName, "scaleY", Regular.easeIn, startValue, endValue, zoomSecs, true);
The code above is written instructively more than literally. Anything I've bolded you can/need to define.
Many people will recommend using third party tweening classes due to better performance and other reasons. So you may want to look into them after you get this working.

How do you make a 2D line form the outline of a circle.

How do you make a 2D line form the outline of a circle. I want a line to come in from the side of the screen and bend round to form the outline of a circle. In flash pro cc?

you can use one tween to move your line from the side of the screen, then another (shape) tween to bend it into a circle. you will probably need to use shape hints for the 2nd tween.

How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom? Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom?
Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
"Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.
Michael Jones

Something that works (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
Be well...

Using the retouch tool, how do you make it change color? The old iPhoto one did, this one seems to be flesh-tone only, which is not how I need it to be. In old iPhoto, used the local color to blend, it was great.

I don't know which old version you're referring to but iPhoto 6's, 7's and 8's retouch tool works exactly the same as iPhoto 9's. The color of the enhance tool's area while applying is a light brown color but the retouch works on any color using the surrounding colors as a basis.

Boundary for movie clips following the mouse

here's my AS...
myInterval = setInterval(KBMOglobal,15);
function KBMOglobal () {
KBMOglobal1._x -= (KBMOglobal1._x - _xmouse)/10;
KBMOglobal1._y -= (KBMOglobal1._y - _ymouse)/10-2;
ok, so my movie clip follows the mouse around, with a small
delay and the y axis is slightly lowered. the stage of my movie is
380 x 640. does anyone have any suggestions on how to create a
boundary, equal to the size of my stage, that does not let the
movie clips that follow the mouse extend past? does that even make
any sense? essentially, i would like the movie clips to follow the
mouse, the entire movie clip stay visible on the stage. because of
the positioning of the items on the stage that initiate this
function, i only have to consider the width of each movie clip,
which luckily is a constant = 200. does that make any sense? let me
try this all again....
how do adjust the above function so that the movie clip,
KBMOglobal1 (which has a width of 200) stay within the horizontal
limits of the stage (which is 380)?
thanks for your time and to everyone in this forum that has
been so very helpful with all my questions in this project so far,
yall rock!

would you please be so kind to explain what your script is
doing? because i'm not a total idiot, i realize i could probably
replace 380 with 760 (double the width of the stage) and it would
work as expected. however, if you could spare the time to explain
what the following two lines are doing, step by step....i'll give
you my first born.....

thanks again for your time!
do you know ?: operator? it is like if...else... statements,
when we say:
somethingIsTrue ? do1() : do2();
it is exactly same meaning like:
if (somethingIsTrue) {
do1();
} else {
do2();
Now, we look at this line:
KBMOglobalGeneralCancelDispatch._x<0?
KBMOglobalGeneralCancelDispatch._x=0:
KBMOglobalGeneralCancelDispatch._x;
it is same like
if (KBMOglobalGeneralCancelDispatch._x<0) {
KBMOglobalGeneralCancelDispatch._x=0
} else {
KBMOglobalGeneralCancelDispatch._x

How do you make a patch list display the actual patches?

The Large Patch Display and the Selector controls show the current patch and a list of available patches respectively.
However, if I drop a "Compact Patch List" or a "Full Height Patch List" on the screen, it only displays "Set Name" and "Patch Name" values. How do you make it show the available patches?

Is it that you want to only see patches without sets, or that you more patches than are displaying in the list?
Either way, you can change both of these things in Layout. Select the patch selector object then in the Inspector on the left you have some display options.
Hope that helps!

How do you make one long clip camera import FCPX

Does anyone out there know how to make one long clip from a DV camera import in FCPX??? Why the designers thought it was a good idea to chop the clips up during import is beyond me...

You're expecting one continuous take to import as one single clip, right?
From my experience with DV-format cameras like the Canon HV20, it's not unusual for there to be enough of a discontinuity (control track??) to create two or more successive clips when importing, dropping a small number of frames between clips. This could be caused by dirty heads or a tape that has been used more than it should.
A string of separate takes should import as separate clips, I believe.
Hope this helps.

How do I make a movie clip play between scenes?

I am VERYnew to flash so please bear with me. I am having a
problem with a movie clip playing between scenes. As scene 1 plays,
the movie works correctly. When I click on my button to go to scene
2 the movie clip starts over. I would like it to continue from
scene 1 seamlessly. Is this possible? How do I do it?

avoid scenes - they are only for timeline management inside
flash only - upon export it all becomes
one long timeline - using them can be useful but in many
instances it can cause navigational issues
such as yours. Many developers avoid scenes - the ones who
use them are mostly animators who have
longer timelines with different scenes (actual settings, like
backgrounds and characters).

How Do You Make an Image Flow with the Text?

Hello all,
I am using CS4 InDesign on Windows Vista. I am fairly new to Indesign but try to do my research and homework well before asking what I hope is not a really dumb question.
I am writing a book of approx. 350 pages that is an illustrated encyclopedia of 156 plants and their oils.
Each 2 page spread is a single entry for a plant. The graphics frames on each spread are identical in size, position and styles for a consistent look throughout the document.As you can see (hopefully) each page is a single column. See screenshot below
In order to overcome my first problem of positioning and sizing the graphics frames uniformly, I created the master pages with the graphics placeholders sized, positioned and formatted to my liking. This worked wonderfully and I placed all of my 300+ graphics by simply over riding each frame.
Then in my editing I decided to add another 2 page spread somewhere in the middle of this fairly large document.
What a NIGHTMARE. The text predictably shifted but now ALL of my graphics were no longer associated with the corresponding text! Arrrgghhh.I had not anticipated this behavior (used MS Word for 15 years) or I would have done something different.
3 hours later I finished re -"placing" the images associated with the correct text.
I researched the help file and found out about the neccessity of anchoring graphics to text. I have read through the threads in this forum, followed links to "indesignsecrets.com/make-an-image-flow-with-the-text" and " Working with anchored objects by Anne Marie Concepcion"
My concerns are this.
An inline graphic places the graphic back onto your text layer for some reason ( Previously my graphics each had their own layer)
Not wanting to start (again) from scratch with my graphics I converted them to inline/custom anchored objects.
But to select then cut then paste every pre existing graphic to anchor it inline seems to be cumbersome and counter intuitive although the top smaller graphic did position well and the text seemed to wrap ok.
When I placed the larger bottom graphic on the left facing page using custom positioning I was not able to get the text to wrap at all.( The in line anchoring did not seem to allow for positioning on anything but the 'Y' axis).
It seems that there would be a simpler way to place text and graphics where you want them and have them associate and flow together (or not) when you want them to and have text wrap easily around an anchored object without keyboard gymnastics. It would seem that the concept of a certain graphic being associated or linked with certain text would not be an unusual concept in desktop publishing.
Am I missing something?
Can you place an anchored graphics frame on the master page with your desired options?
How would this be done if possible?
Is there any other way (i.e grouping) to keep graphics associated with the desired text so that it flows together if extra pages are added?
Is the fact that my graphics frames are on my master pages responsible for my text wrap difficulty? (I have text wrap enabled on my master pages)
Are there any settings, redundant or otherwise, I need to be aware of?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or directions
L.N.

Hello Again,
Thank You Bob but I am still a little fuzzy on this. I have already created object styles for the graphics frames. For instance the small graphic underneath the heading (Its a drop of oil) has an object style applied. Now I checked and it has the anchored object options checked in the style dialog box. When I reapply the style to the next similar graphics nothing happens. It is still not anchored. Do I need to create a new style based on "nothing" add my effects plus the anchoring options? Basically start over. If thats what I need to do thats OK. As to your instruction that object styles could accomodate this anchoring thing...thats what I thought too but somehow I can't get it to work. See object style dialog box screenshot below:
For the larger graphic on the bottom of the left facing page. I still cannot get any text to wrap. In the screenshot example the text describing this particular plant doesn't go to the bottom of the page so the wrapping issue on this page is moot. However I have some entries where the body of the description is more involved and does go to the bottom of the page and the text WOULD need to wrap around the plant (larger ) graphic.
Hi there Harb, Yes I found out early on that object styles can't apply size (that would be on my wish list for sure) That is why I found that creating my graphics frames on the master page with the correct size, effects and positioning tickled me so much. Can you believe I originally went through and MANUALLY resized and repositioned each and every 300+ graphics in this book but it still wasn't right. I'm nothing if not persistent. (Now if I could just get my grown sons to pick up their socks!)
Anyway the master page graphics frames idea would be perfect if I could get the images to anchor in their respective spots on the master page as well.
For your second suggestion. I am not clear about why I would need to break the threads of each spread so that each spread is a seperate article. Is the threading issue the thing that is causing my text to move on leaving their associated graphics behind? If so how do I go about doing this?
So to recap:
1. I need to know if I can modify my object style or recreate from scratch with the anchoring option (as I said it didn't work)
2. Can't get text to wrap around the Custom anchored graphic at bottom of page at all
3. Im not clear on the breaking the threading on the spreads
I am willing to go back through and start from scratch (new master pages, styles etc ) if neccesary. This book is the culmination of 7 years of research and artwork.Basically the project is DONE. Now if I can just format it correctly.
I can't thank you both enough for your time, suggestions, expertise and patience.
Thanks again

How do you make an exchange account as the default?

I had an iphone 5 but that became bricked a few days after installing IOS 8 on it. So I went back to an older iphone 4 until the end of October when the 6 plus is due to ship (hopefully sooner though).
On the iPhone 4, there is no way to make my work Exchange account the default. For mail I can only mark gmail or icloud as a default mail account. However for Calendars, my work e-mail is the default. On my previous phone, the 5, my work exchange email was the default.
Currently I cannot send a photo from the photos app and make it from my work email. I can view and reply to work email messages, but its just not possible to make it the default account. The account is pushed to the devices via MaaS360, but so was the account on the iPhone 5 (and all other devices accessing corporate credentials).

Here is the KB 20098 article URL for setting up an Exchange Active Sync. You need to follow theses steps to set this up on your device. Remember that a certificate needs to be added to the device; either a self-signed or privately issued certificate.
