How the heck do you move the clip?

wrong forum, reposted in actionscript

Hi ooba,
Actually, moveTo is part of the drawing API. It's used to
move the
drawing cursor to a specific location without drawing. I
don't believe
moveTo has ever been used to move a movie clip (or any UI
object for that
matter). In ActionScript 2.0, you must update the "_x" and
"_y" properties
(as kglad pointed out), and in ActionScript 3.0 they're "x"
and "y"
respectively. Unless you have your own "moveto" method, you
won't be able to
use it to move anything, even movie clips.

  • How the heck do you remove the Open Firmware?

    Ok so here is the problem. I have a Powerbook G4 (the A1095 model). Now first off ever since I got the thing the second ram slot never worked. But my main problem is that anytime I try to boot form a DVD, use the Firewire, or reset the PRAM and NVRAM I keep getting asked for some password and a big lock button shows up.
    Now after many weeks and almost completely giving up I found out that somehow open firmware was used to put in a password. Now I have tried absolutely every password I have ever used, and even some other things and nothing works.
    I honestly don't know how this was even set but if it was from me it was obviously an accident. Now the other thing is that I don't have any ADMIN password. I have it set to blank so you just hit enter to login/install things. I wonder if this has anything to do with the open firmware issue???
    I have tried as I said searching apple.com and many many many many many other places to find a way to fix this problem but can't find anything even close to a possible solution. I have 3 OSX boot disks, I have even tried using an Umbuntu CD to attempt to use the disk utility on there but nothing works.
    To anyone out there I have tried letting the main batter AND the PRAM battery run dead and that still seams to change nothing. So I imagine its a saved file someplace on the main board. Oh and I also removed the Hard drive, and PRAM battery and attempted to boot like that but still nothing works.
    I can boot up and use the computer just fine. Surfing the web, installing programs, etc. all work fine. I just can't use the FireWire transfer or Boot from anything but the main HD.
    Please someone help me with this. I need to get my personal information off this computer and reinstall OSX on it. Oh and last thing, Im not sure if it has anything to do with it but the rear two fans do not seem to work either. My other G4 Powerbook seemed to have the same problem too though. Replacing the fans on that one fixed the issue.
    Anyway I waisted over $500 to get another laptop (one model newer) all because of this problem and I really need to fix this so I don't have to worry about my personal information and I can finally either use it or sell it. This is such a frustrating issue, what can I do???
    THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP OR AT LEAST POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION (PLEASE DON'T TELL ME TO GO TO THE APPLE STORE. I HAVE FIXED PROBLEMS THEY COULDN'T BEFORE AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE $300 BILL TO HAVE THEM INSPECT IT, PLUS THIS MODEL IS OUT OF DATE AND THEY WON'T FIX THEM ANYMORE ANYWAY. FYI TO ALL YOU EARLY MODEL G4 USERS!)

    Since http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352 says:
    Warning: The Open Firmware Password can be reset and changed by any one of the following (except MacBook Air):
    1-By any administrator user, as designated in the Accounts preferences (or in Server Admin).
    2-Via physical access to the inside of the computer.
    3-When the computer is started up in Mac OS 9.
    I would try this suggestion: http://maczealots.com/tutorials/security/

  • How the heck do you remove the battery cover on a ...

    Please don't tell me to push the release button and slide the cover - been trying that all day, and my fingers are sore from doing it. Help!!!!

    Hold the phone in one hand but try to avoid covering the top of the back cover with that hand, using "gentle" pressure press the button at the bottom (if you press too hard you'll jam the cover. Using your thumb on your other hand press up (not in as well)against the moulding around the camera and that should do it. If it wont come off when using reasonable force I would take it to a CNSP for repair.Message Edited by megadodo on 17-Aug-2006

    have recently had problems with itunes freezing on me so having done various things to remody it , im now going to try to create a new user account but i cant find where to start things ! ive been told to go to the start menu but where the heck is it ?

    Leigh...
    but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
    If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
    It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.
    Plants vs. Zombies, and that is all for additional software on here
    FYI:  Some third party software can cause issues with the App Store >   Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text

  • Does it harm the HD if you move the laptop while it's on?

    My MacBook's hard drive had crashed a couple months ago and we took it to Apple so they could replace the hard drive. We asked why this happened suddenly and the support person told us that the top two reasons hard drives crash are over heating (on a bed) and being move while the laptop is on. Aren't MacBooks supposed to be moveable? I didn't think the point of laptops were for them to remain steady and not move, isn't that what a desktop is for?
    Could this really be the reason my HD crashed and had to be replaced? Should I just not move my laptop in the future, because that seems to defeat the purpose of one.
    *Moving as in picking it up and going to another room with it on not like being rough with it and banging it into walls.

    If you move your portable (any portable) computer while the hard drive is whizzing around at 5,000 rpm plus with a teeny little read device a couple of thousandths of an inch away there is obviously potential for damage, generally the 'sudden motion sensor' will intervene and attempt to stop damage from occuring but the safest way is not to move it under those circumstances.

  • How can you move the objects from one server to another?

    how can you move the objects from one server to another?

    Hi,
    Collecting objects for Transporting
    1. rsa1->transport connection
    2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
    3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
    4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
    5. after objects collection finished, create request
    6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
    7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
    8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.
    Releasing Transport Request  
    Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
    Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
    Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
    Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
    Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
    Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
    Step 2: Click on Import queue button
    Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
    Step 4: Click on refresh button
    Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)
    Transport

  • Can you use Easynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

    Can you useEasynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

    From your Apple menu at the left end of the menubar, select "About this Mac." You get a window similar to this:
    1) The Mac OS version is just under the big "MAC OS X" line. Post what that says.
    2) We can start to figure out what iMac you have if you post what that the "Processor" line says.
    We need to find out because Apple's poor labling choices for this forum, intended for iMacs made before 2006, causes people with newer and much more capable Macs to post here by mistake.
    Without some info from you, it's much like your calling an auto mechanic and asking if you can use a certain part without telling him the make, model, or year of your car. Quess what his first question will be? Works the same here.

  • How do you move the pages arround of a newly created combined file ?

    How do you move the pages around of a newly created File ?

    Hi coypaschal,
    To rearrange pages in a PDF file, you need Acrobat Pro or Standard. With either of those applications, it's as simple as dragging page thumbnails into their new position. For more information, see Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Rearranging pages in a PDF
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

  • HT1026 When I do this a copy is created, and when I try to move the old file to trash I get a warning that this clip will no longer be visible in my project. How do I make the drag and drop move the clip and not just make a copy?

    In Imovie 2008 when I drag an event to another drive, the event is copied and not moved. Thereafter if I try to move the original clip to trash I anm warned the clip will no longer be accessible in the project it is linked to. How do I get to move the clip and keep it connected to the project?

    I have iPhoto '09. The problem occurs when I try to move a photo from iPhoto onto a document or anywhere. I click on the photo and try to drag it to the document. When I do this a message box pops up saying that the file cannot be opened because it is empty. This only happens with a small number of photos but I just don't understand the fact that I can see these photos (and print them but only directly from iPhoto) but I can't do anything with them since, for some reason, the computer is seeing the file as empty.
    Hope that helps. Thanks.

    They're probably telling you instructions based on a computer not an iPad. Different operating systems.
    What you an run on the iPad comes from the app store, and that's where you to go update it. Tap on your app store icon, go to the updates tab and you'll see any applicable updates to your device.

  • How in the heck are you supposed to drag songs

    How in the heck are you supposed to drag songs from your music library to your device (iPhone or iPod) with the new iTunes? It was simple on the older version, but it isn't at all on this one. I'd appreciate any advice.

    Thanks. It did help. Plus I don't feel like such an idiot for asking probably a simple question because somebody else asked the same thing.

    Many thanks lllaass,
    The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.
