I've been working on a menu I created in Flash...

I decided to make a menu to link multiple videos. Eventually, I want to create a menu for all my videos so I can access them from one interface.
-     The first thing I did was to learn a bit about animation in Flash CS4...
-     I proceeded to create graphics to represent each video like a thumbnail along with a description of each video (standard menu stuff).
-     I enabled the functionality of the buttons but I haven't found a solution that will link the button to a video file and open it once clicked in Windows       Media Player.
-     I've been unable to get around this little snag. I wrote to Adobe a couple of times in the hope that I would simply be provided with a solution. I'm             able to link a button to an address on the web so I figure it must be possible to link a button with a location and file on a hard drive external or             internal.
To summarize... I made a menu in Flash > it's purpose is to link about 60 video files > I created buttons to link to the files on a hard drive > doesn't seem to work > my question is... what am I doing wrong and how can I understand what steps I have to take next to open a video file (through the menu) in Windows Media Player

You can drag and drop a file from TM to the desktop.
Let's say your newsletter is on the desktop. First thing to do is to add something to the file name, say Newsletter_1.
Next open TM as if it is just another external drive by double clicking the icon. (This is not the same as "Enter Time Machine" which you do when you want to restore.) The file hierachy in TM follows the same logic as on your hard drive. Navigate to the date you want, find the file you want, and drag and drop it where you want it to be. Because you changed the name of the most recent version you can both files in the same space.
I do this often.
But remember if you make a back up now you will end up with both versions in TM.

  • My Apple TV has been working fine, even earlier today.  When I turned it on this afternoon, the TV indicated that "no signal" was being received.  Restarted, unplugged, reset by holding menu and down button, etc. still no signal.  Thoughts?

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • I have been working on a file in pages which I cannot open now. Every time I select it "an error occurred and pages must close" appears. Files sharing in itunes doesn't work either. Any suggestions?? THANK YOU

    I have been working on a file in pages which I cannot open now. Every time I select it "an error occurred and pages must close" appears and pages shuts down. I have tried to duplicate the document but cannot open the copy either. I am unable to email, share via iwork, itunes, idisk or WebDAV all of these options just close pages down. Does anyone have any ideas......Thank you

    And you are quite persistent, Menu Boy, in offering pernickety and pointless prattle, in response to a "support page" on iPad's buggy Pages App.
    Let's summarise, for those reviewing this threadless thread for app support..
    Mobile pages works reliably for simple docs, especially creating letters and Menus for Microsoft's Kindy canteen (even on special days with nice big pictures).
    When importing more complex docs and/or working with larger creations, it is prone to randomly corrupting files upon re-opening, along similar lines as Word (running on a PC).
    So, Menu Boy, do they let you sneak into classes every now and then? What is the secret to their training? "Say after me, if any I.T. product works just some of the time, that's a job well done, and if something randomly stops working, we call that the user's fault... And if they complain, we call them names."

  • Has anyone experienced the loss of audio when using Apple TV when it has been working fine?

    I can't get any audio through my reciever when using Apple TV. It's been working fine until a week ago. I've check my reciever, unplug the TV, and Apple TV as described but nothing. I switch to my Direct TV input and I can get audio when not using ATV. I've tried most everything I've read on blogs but nothing. One of those "pull your hair out" issues. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks, Vince

    Hi there Vfall!
    I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    If you can see video but can't hear sound
    If Apple TV is connected to a receiver, make sure the receiver is turned on.
    Make sure the input setting you've selected on your receiver matches the input you have your audio cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your receiver for more information.
    Make sure the volume on your TV or receiver is turned up and isn't muted.
    Check whether you can hear sound while playing video only. Also, check whether you can hear audio feedback while clicking through menu options.
    If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV supports audio through its HDMI port. The HDMI ports on some older TVs support only video.
    If you are using HDMI audio, try disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable.
    If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV is setup to receive audio from HDMI. For some TV's this is automatic, but for others there is a choice between digital and analog (for HDMI audio, choose digital). Read more about HDMI audio.
    Try the other audio outputs on Apple TV to see if they work.
    If possible, try using different audio cables.

    My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

    One of the memory cards was indeed faulty, and the other completely fine
    Thanks very much for all your help!
    Although there is one little thing that I've noticed. The iMac works properly, but I tried to software update to see if that may help my Minecraft sound issue (as I still don't think only having 2GB instead of 4GB would cause such a problem) but the software update application won't work. Running the "Software Update" from the apple menu on the toolbar gains no response, nothing happens. If I run the software update from  system preferences, the application icon appears for a second, then disappears (as in the blank app. icon, the blank canvas with the pencil, pen and ruler in the bottom right corner). It does this every time I try to run it. It did work when the computer was crashing, but this started when on one of the occasions I ran the app. while it was crashing. Since this occured during the crashes, and still occurs now, I'm wondering did something simlar happen minecraft, as it's sound disappeared during the crashes and is still gone now.
    However, the computer is now working again without crashes, which is the main thing, thanks for helping me fix the issue
    Edit: I would mark the topic as solved, but I'm unsure if this would lock the topic or something simlar, so I'd rather leave it open for any ideas regarding the software update and Minecraft issues I'm having

  • I'm working with a Mac, with 10.10.2 system.  My Audition program has been working fine for years now.  But, there is a problem I can't solve.  All my markers on a given piece of audio allows me to left click to highlight the time signature until my audio

    I'm working with a Mac, with 10.10.2 system.  My Audition program has been working fine for years now.  But, there is a problem I can't solve.  All my markers on a given piece of audio allows me to left click to highlight the time signature until my audio reaches the one hour point.  From there on, the left click will not give me the drop down menu in order to copy and then paste into an Excel sheet I then have to submit for the proofing purposes.  After the one hour mark, I can only control/c in order to highlight, then when I slide up to my Excel sheet, I'm able to right click and paste.  Why is the program not, all of a su allowing me to left cllick the mouse and have a drop down menu give me the option to "copy, " as it does for any time signature markers up to 1:00:00.000?

    Which version of Audition? With the latest version of Audition running on a Windows 7 machine I can't get a dropdown menu at all when I left click on the time in Markers List. The only way to do it is with cntrl-c.

  • My keychains haven't been working so I deleted something and I forgot what it was

    My keychains haven't been working so I deleted something and I forgot what it was, but it was obviously something big and now my mac is saying that it cannot find a place to store a keychain or there is no keychain available or something along those lines. I need help with this problem ASAP. This is how this problem started:
    1) A couple days ago i changed my password and turned my computer off.
    2) Today I powered up my mac and it says "This application would like to use keychains please enter your keychain login."
    3) I didn't know what the password was so I went on Safari and the messages kept popping up.
    4) I went on Safari typed in my problem and it came up with a question similar to mine on an apple webpage.
    5) I clicked the webpage and it was telling me these steps to follow to make the pop up messages stop and how to reset the keychain login password
    6) I followed the steps and one of the steps were to delete something so i did
    7) I then tried to reset my default keychain but it said "This specified keychain could not be found"
    8) so i got worried and restarted my computer and it still had the pop ups and i had to relog into my account.
    9) I got relogged into my account and the messages kept popping up.
    So now i come to you all smart mac users asking for your help and ASAP. Please help me I don't know what i did and i want my mac back to the way it was.
    HELP ME!!!! Answer ASAP PLEASE I NEED YOU SMART PEOPLE!!!!!

    Hello Chewey
    Best thing to do here would be to reset your keychain to factory default. I’ll explain below. But first let me explain the consequences: doing the action below means that your iMac will forget your passwords until you enter them again once more. Think email passwords, wifi passwords, website passwords etc. You don’t have to change all these passwords, you will have to simply enter them once more, so hopefully you either know them by heart or wrote them down in a safe place at one point.
    Either way, I think at this point you have little choice, as your description makes me think your keychain is completely broken anyway unfortunately.
    So here we go:
    1/ click on the Finder and locate the menu called “go” in the upper left corner of your computer display. For reference, this will be somewhere to the right of the classic -menu. Once found, click on it and select: “Go To Folder”
    2/ Type the line below in the box that appears, including the ~ (or copy-paste it from here of course) and click the [GO]-button.
    ~/library/
    3/ Now the Finder will enter a folder with a lot of technical-looking folders. Scroll around until you find the folder called “Keychains” Move this entire folder - with contents and all - to the trash.
    4/ Once trashed (you don’t have to empty the trash if you don’t want to) restart your computer via:  > restart. If this doesn’t work (might happen if a lot of password prompts are hanging around for example) just forcefully restart it this once.
    Your issue should be solved and you’re now left with the slight chore of re-entering your passwords one-by-one as your computer asks for them.  

  • HT204347 My MacBook Pro shut of three times yesterday after plugging my phone in but I managed to switch it back on each time. I left it to rest for about 20 hours and then today it Has been working fine

    My MacBook Pro shut off three times yesterday after plugging my phone in but I managed to switch it back on each time. I left it to rest for about 20 hours and then today it Has been working fine all morning. Using indesign and Skype which usually slow it down anyway but it's been fine. Then I plugged my iPhone 4S into it and it just shut off again. But this time it won't switch back on. No idea why this has happened but I hadn't saved my work either. I'd not long plugged the charger in to it but now, it's still plugged in, but the light on it is very dim and is just flashing.
    No idea what to do. Please help!

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

  • The song has been working on our mac for a year and has suddenly stopped working??

    For some reason it has stopped i have tried rebooting but it still does not work it has been working for 1 year and now has stopped.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk.

  • Hasn't been working properly since an update in July

    Ever since I installed an update around July of 2012, Flash Player hasn't been working properly. My main problem is that the video is severly choppy, and lags behind the audio as much as five to ten seconds. Needless to say, this is intolerable....
    My questions are, does anybody know what is causing this?- please keep in mind that I HAVE gone through all the troubleshooting that is on Adobe's help pages. And...
    Are their any programs that may be running in the background that may be preventing my uninstall program from running? I'm trying to uninstall to be able use an archived version of Flash Player, but it won't even let me do that..... HELP!!!!

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating   system  
    Browser  
    Flash   Player version
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows  
    Mac
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
    HTML5   video  
    Non-HTML5 video

    " I have been in the preferences extensively and i keep updating it to go to to new location"
    Apple does a poor job of documenting/explaining this setting - the iTunes Media folder location setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced doesn't tell iTunes where to find the content of your library.  Rather, this determines where iTunes will put new content when you add it.  Current locations are held within the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file).  As tt2 says, if you hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes and when you get this prompt:
    click on Choose Library..., navigate to your D: drive and select the iTunes Library.itl file that should be there.  Ideally you should have copied everything to D:\iTunes with this structure:

    As I said, I don't use Time Machine, so it'd be best to wait for an "expert" answer, but, with my very limited knowledge, I'd say: probably not - so, for now, I'd suggest you read up on Time Machine:

    I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
    Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.

  • My podcast has been accepted by apple and has been working on the itunes store for a few years until recently. If I search for it I can see some of the episodes but no matter which store I am in I am told I can't few the episodes in my current store

    I have a podcast that has been submitted to itunes a few years back that has been working just fine. The person updating it broke it a few months back, I have fixed the error and reformatted it but the podcast still doesn't work. If I go in itunes and choose to open stream and connect to the podcast URL there, then it works just fine, but If I search for it in the itunes store (search: Jubilee Community Church) then a couple of the episodes show up (see The Art of Marriage by Stephen van Rhyn) but if I click on any of them it just tells me that my podcast is not available in the current store. But I submitted it from the UK store and it is not even available on that store. I have send numerous emails to Apple Support but they have been incredibly unhelpful. I hoped it would update overtime and start working again but its been a month and still nothing, I can't get hold of anyone technical from itunes support to reload my podcast or tell me whats wrong, I can't even resubmit my podcast because it's already been submitted and therefore won't allow me too. I've run out of options, any help would be appreciated!

  • Artifacts and corruption on Photoshop CC files that have been worked on a lot

    I'm having the problem below when working on a Photoshop file created with Adobe Photoshop CC. I have had this issue on 2 different machines and 2 versions of photoshop, working from my hard drive. This is what I get:
    As you can see it's totally messed up my photoshop file and when I export out (as a JPEG/PNG etc) it still has the artifacts. I have now had this with 2 different retina Macbook Pros running 2 versions of CC. I've never had this before and have used CS5 for years with no issues and I'm not using a network so I'm thinking it's something to do with CC. Here's when it usually occurs:
    - When I have been working on a file a lot, these are mocks for clients and it tends to be happening on the homepage (which has had the most iterations)
    - Seems to be connected to smart layers (but not exclusively), when I try and mask with a smart layer I'll get strange banding and some of the text will render with obscure colouring
    - It also affects the layers, text layers that cover small areas of the canvas are selectable from nowhere near and they obscure other layers
    - I can click into text layers and update the colour and sometimes that will fix them and they re-render normally
    - It seems to degrade the more I work on it, the first thing will be small lines, then the layers will obscure other layers (for no obvious reason when trying to select them) and then the colour banding will appear
    At the moment is causing me a bit of a headache and I can't see how to get this PSD back without recreating the entire design.
    Can someone please help....

    Seems strange that I would get the same problem on 2 different macs with the same results. Is there anyway of finding out if it is the ram/hd before splashing out on either fixing it or getting a new Mac? Also like I said I never had this problem with CS5, which I used on one of the macs before I upgraded. I've got a feeling if I take this problem to the Apple store they are probably going to say it's the software and not the hardware.
