IS the audio time line gone?

In older versions there was a time line for adjusting the volume (mixing)
over the period of your movie. I think that is now gone right?
I keep using the older version because I can incrimentally tweek volumes that
clash with other things like dialogue.

So what is a guy to do?
I use (and like) both iMovie 09 and iMovie 06. But when I need the audio time line or better quality I use iMovie 06.
If you like iMovie 06 better, as many do, you can continue to use it. I find that it works perfectly with my Mac Pro, iDVD 09 and the latest Mac OS.

Replacing the music in the prime time line

I am working on a music project with dozends of audio file in the prime time line and hundres of video clips joint to them.
Now I have re-recorded the music and want to replace all the old audio files by one new audio file (with a lenght of nealy two hours) but keep all the joint video clips joint to the original audio tracks. (of course I have to move them a bit to adjust them to the new music track)
How to proceed ?

SSelect all the clips in the primary and make them a compound clip. Drag your new file onto the compound and use the replace function.

My iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!

If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select?

Can I access a label inside of an MC and then go back to the main time line

Here is my current set up.
I have a labeled section on main time line which has icons of 12 different videos. Each icon acts as a button and brings a user to a labeled section with a FLV Video Playback component impemented to play the corresponding video. These labeled sections are located on the main time.
This methog makes my main time line very long. Is there a way to make an additional MC which will hold all the video buttons and then have this MC separated into labeled sections.
In other words can I access a label inside of an MC and then go back to the main time line?
My present code for accessing the label located on the main timeline is:
HowTo_maininfo_mc.theArrangement_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, theArrangement_btn_amimated_btnDown);
function theArrangement_btn_amimated_btnDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("theArrangement");
How would it look if my label "theArrangement" would be located inside of an MC?
Is there any specific code if I want to have a close button located on the label inside of an MC and it needs to fire out to a label located on the main timeline?

Oh, WOW! It is working perfectly now.
My mistake was that I was specifiying the var sourceVar:String;
for every single button. It was not clear to me from the first example that it has to be specified only once.
I made a small test Flash file and everything works now. It still doesn't work on my big flash file, I guess some other code messes it up and I can' not figure what it is exactly.
I would like to include the OUTPUT error message in hopes that you can spot right away what a mistake could be:
VideoError: 1000: Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server
          at fl.video::VideoPlayer/stop()

If there is no immediate cure for it, I will go through code line by line. Since it is working on the test it must be something wrong with my main file.
Additiona question (please let me know if I should paste it as a new thread)
I have similar set up with UILoader. Where different buttons set up to bring a user to individual labeled sections with individual UILoader. Should it be arranged in the same way that it is only one loader and "var sourceVar:String;" code is the one which brings up different content for each button?

How do I acces a var from the main time line in to a movieclip?

I'm making a quiz-type animation, since I'm new with ActionScript I had developed my own way to make this work.
I want to add like a meter that shows one out three position depending on the answer given, I had made this animation as a movieclip but now I need it to react according to the answer, so it changes on every question to do that I need to access the variables I'm using in the main time line, how can I access the the main time line variables from the movie clip?
The movie clip (meter) is basically the background and the questions will change and advance on top of that movie clip so it'll change with each answer until you get the final result.
Since I cant attached my FLA file here I could email my it to whom may want to help me, THANK YOU!!!

I kinda of make it work using what you suggested: var meterVar = MovieClip(this.root).userAnswer;, but I have different problems now I'm getting this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
     at divameter2_fla::MovieClip_1/frame1() and the meter movieclip only change from the original position to the second and stays there even if the first answer supose to sent it to the third or four position. here is the code for the main and movie clip:
Main:
The following code I have it in separate frames, I know is probbably not the best way to do it but I'm new with AS.

Where did the current-time-line go in Calender?

I can't find the line that says what the current time is in Calender.. Is there any way to put it or get it back in? IMO it was one of the features why Calender was a really good app. It looks like Apple just forgot to put it in... Is this going to be updated.
Should look something like this;(like we had before)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3dtvkw37vkw70hj/Screenshot%202013-10-25%2015.01.122.jp g

I can’t tell you what’s causing it, but it is working fine here. The line is red and moves with the current time. But it is only visible when you are in the current week. If I move to the prior or next week it won’t show.

FCE Audio Time Line

What do I need to do to get the audio to play when timeline bar is dragged over it? Also does anyone know how to disable the "snap to" function in the audio track? I'm not savvy enough to see the benefit.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Audio scrubbing is turned on in the View menu. Snapping is toggled with the N key.

Controlling the main time line of a movie via a button within a movie on a different level.

Hi there!
I have two movie is two different levels,
Level 5 is my base movie and I am loading another movie on
top of this into level 10.
Once the user clicks onto a button within the movie on level
10, I would like the animation in level 5 to stop (the animation
runs on the main root timeline of level 5).
Once the user clicks on a different button within the movie
on level 10, I would like the animation on the main timeline of the
movie in level 5 to start again from the point where it previously
left off.
Is this possible?
It would be great if someone could help me out with this.
Thanks, midi_ie

_level5.gotoAndPlay("someLabelframe");
Use your regular action to target timeline or movie clips,
just define the level number at the beginning of the path.
Pretty much it :)

Is there anyway to move the sequence time line past 0 into -0 and beyond?

Sometimes I I need a little more room in the begining of the sequece timeline, but don't realize it till I have got 90% done with the movie.
Or is there an easy way to slide everything over?

With the Timeline window active, select all (Command a), then type the amount you want to move the clips. For example, if you want 20 frames, type 20 then hit Enter. If you want 5 seconds, 10 frames, type 510 and hit enter.
Or simply drag the clips to the place you want them to be.

Access the main time line function

Hi all,
In as2 we can use _root to access the main timeline function from the inside some movieclip or button.
In as3 how to access the main timeline function from inside the movieclip or button.can any one please tell me.

"root" is the AS3 equivalent, but using it alone will often not wortk. You more often need to cast it as some form of object before the compiler will recognize it. Using "MovieClip(root)" will usually do the trick.

When I have two clips, one above the other, I would like to hear the audio from one at a time. How do I suppress temporarily one of that, in a easier way? Thank you.

When I have two clips, one above the other, I would like to hear the audio from one at a time. How do I suppress temporarily one of that, in a easier way? Thank you.

I would think you would drop down the audio level lines in the "Stereo" tab (FCP 6.0.6 view to me) in the clip's video window.
But then again, in my old version, I can't play two clips at once. But I figure if the newer FCP allow you to do that, then that's what I would do.

Audio on time-line

Is there a way to decide on which audio time-line the audio is put when dragging a clip from the viewer (or browser). I can't find out the logic how it works...
Thank you

Normally it should go on Audio tracks 1 and 2, unless you are superimposing video.
If you want to put it on different tracks you can deselect the "Linked Selection" button at the top right of the timeline window and drag your audio where you want.

Multiple Audio with in a single Time Line

I understand that a single time line can contain multiple audios (dubbed voices, foreign languages, director's commentary, etc). And when I do this, I can hit the "Audio" button on my DVD remote and the audio will change seemlessly while viewing the movie. This is desirable because you don't have to render several time lines of the same video. I'm trying to achieve this very thing - in order to reserve as much space on my DVD/Blu-Ray for the feature presentation. Here's my actual question.
Now that I have this single timeline with 2 audios, I want my menu buttons to interact with these different audios. I want my "PLAY FEATURE" button on the main menu to play my main time line with audio #1. Then I want my "DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY" button in the Bonus Menu to play the same time line, but with audio #2 this time. Is there a way to make Encore do this?
I was hoping there was a way to "group" that time line with the 2 audios in that they each create their own asset in the project panel (and can be linked via pick-whip), but each asset uses the same main timeline, just different audio.
I really hope I haven't written this to be more confusing than it is. I also hope you're the right guy to answer my question, and if not - can you pass me along to someone who can? I appreciate your time and thanks for reading my long-winded question.
I'm using Windows 7 and Encore 5.1

Start here re how to handle navigation with audio tracks.

I was hoping there was a way to "group" that time line with the 2 audios in that they each create their own asset in the project panel (and can be linked via pick-whip), but each asset uses the same main timeline, just different audio.
I'm not sure what your question is there, and this may be clearer to you in reading the above section of help. But the timeline (with the video asset) must have both audior tracks, or there is no savings in creating two timelines, for each audio, but each then also requiring instances of the video.

Going Back to the main frame, from inside a movie clip time line.

In flash CS5 I want to go back to the main time line, from inside a movie clip button, so when i click the the movie clip it goes to another frame on the main time line..
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Daniel Derrick

your can use _root to reference the main timeline from anywhere though that can lead to problems if your swf is loaded by another swf. because of that eventuality, it would be better to use a relative path back to the main timeline.
so, from a movieclip's timeline (when the movieclip is on the main timeline), you can use _parent to reference the main timeline.
but even better would be to use no code on that movieclip's timeline and keep all your code on one timeline (the main one).

IS the audio time line gone?
