How does "root" work in 3.0

Does anyone know how to get the "root" action to work in 3.0?
It used to be (1.0 and 2.0) that using "_root." would go to the
root level of the movie (leaving a movie clip) and then you could
control the timeline (or target another movie clip), but now it
doesn't work.
Even using the Actions panel's "Target Path" - which puts in
"root" doesn't work. I understand the underscore has been
depreciated...
This is frustrating. I need to be able to make multiple movie
clips work with each other and none of the documentation explains
this issue.
Thanks,
Mike

The closest equivalent is the Stage, which serves as the root
of the
ActionScript 3.0 display list.
Can you explain about how you want to make these movieClips
work with each
other?

  • How does this work?

    This is not a complaint, but a confused sigh of admiration. I've got an email account at the university where I teach. When I got my iBook, it took me a while, and a few conversations with IT at the school, to get this account working in the Mail application. (Since I have a Verizon DSL at home, I had to include that SMTP as the outgoing server.) Anyway, I synched this mail account (along with my AOL and .Mac accounts) onto the iPhone, and it works perfectly, both incoming and outgoing. I didn't have to change any of the settings. I thought I was computer savvy, but I can't wrap my mind around this. It seems like magic. How does it work?

    The sync process with iTunes transfers the email account settings (for your chosen accounts via your iPhone sync preferences) from the Mail application on your Mac to the iPhone's email application.
    The iPhone is running OS X and the iPhone's email client can be considered a mobile version of the Mail application.

  • My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

    My iPhone was stolen.  I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message.  The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it.  I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?  Are there other ways the theif can use it.  I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

    Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
    The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes.  If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
    Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
    I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

  • Was told a USB device would create a PDF automatically from the data contained within when plugged into my USB port. Doesn't seem to work. How does this work and how can I fix the device I received?

    Acrobat is not on the USB device - only Adobe Reader needed on the PC. How does this work? How can I fix this device if at all?

    You need to ask the people who sold it to you. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Reader.
    However, you should be wary of devices that automatically try to open files when plugged in. They can also infect your computers with all kinds of viruses or malware.

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

  • How does Remote work with Apple TV?

    How does Remote work with Apple TV?
    1. Does Remote, "Play" the music that resides on your iPod Touch>Apple TV>Home Speakers.
    OR
    Does Remote "Control" the music that resides on Apple TV HD>Home Speakers.
    (If so... say you have a iPod Touch that only holds 8GB's but your music collection on your Apple TV exceeds that amount.
    Will Remote still "Control" the larger music collection on Apple TV or your computer?)
    2. Will iPod Wifi work on a patio outside a home to control Apple TV inside the home?
    thank you in advance, Tom

    Remote is a way to control iTunes on either your computer or Apple TV using a WiFi connection. See this article for complete instructions.

  • I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work

    I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work.

    Time Machine is one such program, although it is a recursive backup program which offers limited archive capability, based on the capacity of the backup destination, and it requires you set it up before you start editing your files.   Some programs are also Versions aware, which offers a kind of restore capability by file.  Again needs to be setup before you start editing.
    Just a for-your-info:
    Mac is not an acronym, it is a nickname for Macintosh.

  • Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
    If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
    Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
    If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
    I hope it works
    Cheers !

  • What is efax and how does it work?

    Hi!
    eFax® is a service provided by eFax®, not Hewlett-Packard, that allows you to send and receive faxes using the Internet rather than a phone line. eFax® is easy to use, but it is different than a typical phone-based fax machine. You don't require a phone line to use it, so you don't have to worry about busy signals and you can place your printer where you want it, not where the phone jacks are located! The fax number you are provided will not typically be a local number, and may even be in a different country. You will receive 20 incoming and 20 outgoing fax pages per month for free with this service. Your page counts will reset at midnight Pacific Time on the first of each month. You can also subscribe to eFax® Plus to obtain additional pages per month by visiting: http://www.eFax.com/products/internet-fax.
    How does it work?
    eFax® uses the printer Internet connection to send and receive faxes. When you send a fax, it is sent over the Internet to the eFax® server and then eFax® sends your fax to the recipient's fax machine over a standard phone line.
    Your faxes are received in a similar manner, but the order is reversed. The sender sends the fax over a phone line to eFax® and then eFax® sends the fax to your printer using HP's ePrint service.
    This question was solved.

    Hi Im_cheesecake,
    Great information, if you don't mind I just wanted to piggy back off of your post, to clear any potential confusion.
    The 20 free incoming & 20 free outgoing faxes are with HP printer's that include the eFax service print app.  As of now, we have three printer series' that include the pre-installed eFax print app: HP Photosmart 7510 Series, HP Envy 110 Series, and the HP Photosmart eStation C510a.  
    eFax also has a free plan which allows you to receive a limited number of faxes but does not allow you to send any faxes. If you exceed the number of received faxes allowed, eFax will prompt you to upgrade to a paying account. Here are the main details of the free plan:
    One remote (i.e. non-local) eFax number
    Area code/prefix is selected by eFax and cannot be changed (unless you upgrade to a paid account)
    20 incoming fax pages per month (receive-only)
    You are prompted to upgrade to a paying account if you exceed 20 incoming pages, or if you need send capability.
    Say "Thanks" by clicking the blue Kudos Star in the post that helped you.
    Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"; therefore, it's easier for others to find.

  • JDBC Adapter:- How does it work??

    Dear Friends,
    I would like to know the nuts and bolts of JDBC adapter.
    1.)How does it work internally?Internally what does sap use?
    2.)In my scenario i just need to access a sap table so Can i write my Java JDBC program to access it.?
    3.)Is there any other way to sent data from Idocs to map to a external database with out using XI.?
    thx,
    jeevan

    Hi Jeevan,
    As far as the JDBC adapter goes, internally it uses, obviously JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity). Thus all the calls from this adapter are internally SQL Queries (Either Select, Insert, Update, Delete, Execute Stored Procedure) that are sent using Java JDBC API.
    In Sender Configuration, it needs a Select and an Update query to be configured into it. It polls the External Database at specific intervals (Polling Interval in the Channel Configuration),i.e., it connects to the Database via a JDBC Connection and runs the select query. The data from the query is sent to XI as an XML Document. The update query is used to update the DB such that the same data is not picked again in the next poll. This is generally done through a status field. The select query's Where clause should pick records with one status and the update should change all those statuses so that the select does not pick them again.

    In receiver configuration, the channels creates SQL statements from the XML Document it receives. This can be either Select, Insert, Update, Delete or Stored Procedure Call Statements. This requires you to give the receiver channel an XML Document in a pre-defined Schema.

Note that the kind of SQL Statement generated (Select, Update, etc) is dependent on the schema provided.
    Hope this was helpful!!!

  • The special offer for the printer that is going on with a Mac, how does that work? Is it true i can get a free printer?

    The special offer for the printer that is going on with a Mac, how does that work? Is it true i can get a free printer?

    you pay for it up front, and they give you a rebate or $99, so if you buy a $99 printer from them (Epson Stylus NX430 Small-in-One Color Inkjet Printer $99.95) then the printer becomes free. You can not get this deal unless you also buy a mac with it.

  • Outbound Dialer records to cache. how does it work?????

    Im confused, on the campaign manager one of the settings for the campaigns is
    Records to cache.  The Outbound guide says that this is "the minimum number of dialing numbers
    that each dialer caches for each of your outbound option skill groups.  Default is 100"
    how often does it cache?
    how does this work?
    Lets says I have an agent campaign mode:Predictive_Blended,
    Records to cache: 1, everything else default.
    My Admin script is set to cycle every 1 minute.
    does this mean that 1 record get cached every minute?
    thanks

    Hi
    From what I have seen it is the number of records that the dialer fetches from the database at any given moment. The dialer cahches these records and dials them.  As soon as it exausts then it fetches more.
