Learner needing a little guidance re: actions

Hi there!
I was a graphic designer specialising in branding and print
focused artwork until I decided to go solo and start freelancing at
which point more than half the work being offered to me was web
design (which I used to do for a job some 7 years ago). So I've
decided to re-train in web design/development software and
techniques and have started learning Flash CS3 (Mac) using a
tutorial book. The book is called "The Web Collection Revealed" and
on the whole it's actually been pretty good, but there is one
subject that seems not to work each time I follow the books
instructions...
The problem is to do with a simple set of timeline control
STOP and PLAY actions. I've got a flash movie made up of six layers
which is a total of 79 frames in length. Four of the layers are in
place to animate four separate objects on the stage. The other two
layers are called "stopmovie" and "continue".
The stopmovie layer only has a keyframe inserted in frame 71
which has the action assigned to it: "Global Functions", "Timeline
Control" and "Stop".
The "continue" layer also has a keyframe inserted in frame
71. It also has a text box which has been converted to a button
symbol which displays on the stage from frame 71 to frame 79 and
which reads "Click to Continue". After inserting the keyframe in
the continue layer at frame 71 I selected the "Click to Continue"
text (ensuring the "click to continue" button was displayed in the
lower left portion of the actions window) and assigned the
following action to it: "Global Functions", "Timeline Control" and
"Play".
According to the book, when the movie is now played, the
movie should stop at frame 71 at which time it displays the text
"Click to Continue", and only goes on to finish the last 9 frames
of the animation once that text has been clicked. Unfortunately, it
doesn't. Instead, the text "Click to Continue" appears, but nothing
happens once it has been clicked upon?
The text recognises it is a button, but when it is clicked,
the movie does not move forward. This problem has happened twice
now whilst reading this book and I am beginning to think that the
author has described the process incorrectly!
I'm sure that this is really simple and boring to the vast
majority of flash developers out there, but I'd be so grateful if
someone could help me solve this niggly problem as I am sure I am
going to come up against it numerous times in the future.
Thanks so much

I think I figured it out. Both you and the book are correct!
I created a video tutorial and uploaded it to my blog. Check it out
at
http://blog.americanmonk.com
The FLA files I used can be downloaded from the links
directly below the video.
If you have any questions about the video please leave a
comment on the blog.
I hope it helps and good luck with your business!

(Click and move to next scene). Need help with a simple action, just need a little guidance.

I am building a simple flash movie clip in Flash cs4. All I want to do is run the play head through a one 5 frame scene and stop, and then you press a button that will send the play head to the next 10 frame motion tween scene.
When I run the movie all I get is a movie clip that pauses for a millisecond then loops back around.
I have three different books on flash action script, read all three still not doing so hot. I am using the navigational button concept maybe that is what I am doing wrong. Can someone show me the right method or lead me in the right direction.

You can just place an invisible button on the top layer of
the flash time line and code it to getURL. When you said "hyperlink
to another page", are you referring to an html page or another swf
file? To make an invisible button in Flash, you can hit Ctrl+F8 to
bring up the dialog box to create a new symbol, name your button,
make sure you select the type of button, hit ok, now you are inside
the button and need to create a "hit" area. Click on the "hit"
state and press F7 to create a blank key frame. Using the drawing
tools, select the square, no stroke, and any fill color you want,
draw a square shape, click on the shape and in your Info Panel,
change the size of this shape to match the size of your stage,
lastly, make sure the registration point is (0,0) by using the
Align Panel. Go back to your main time line, add a layer on your
time line and make sure it's at the top, drag your new button from
the library to the stage and align it to (0,0).
There are two ways to code the button, so to make it easier,
click on the button once to select it, hit F9 to bring up the
actions panel and type this
on(release){
getURL("
http://www.someWebsite.com",
"_blank");// you can also use "_self" //
If some of this isn't new to you, disregard parts of it. If
you have any buttons in your Flash application, this will cause
problems because the invisible button will counter-act anything
below it. Let me know if this works for you. Of course, this all
assumes you have access to the flash file.

Irregular TNS -12535 , did some diagnosis and now need a little guidance

Hey Guys,
I tried searching and searching for this error, tried a couple of different things but right now I am stuck. I must first say that this forum is very helpful so thank you for everyone who contributes and answers the questions.

I also setup a sqlnet.ora file within $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin with the parameters
DIAG_ADR_ENABLED =OFF

in the client machine(database 1) i have the same as above within the listener.ora set INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER=0
I also setup a sqlnet.ora file within $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin with the parameters
DIAG_ADR_ENABLED =OFF

Also within the tnsnames.ora files i have put (SERVER=DEDICATED) (just to be on the safe side)
I thought with this there should not be a tns error at all..yet i am getting them daily at random times.
I tried to talk to networking but lets just say I need to proof it somehow that its there issue not mine.
Thanks in advance for your help

Need a little bit of guidance

I need a little bit of guidance.
My plan is to make a PKGBUILD, but I've ran into a few snags. I'm trying to make PKGBUILD for ToME-223-src (Troubles of Middle Earth). But first I want to compile and install it locally so I'll have a good idea of how to make the PKBUILD right and to test it for awhile. So the PKGBUILD is something later on to worry about.
I have a bit of delimma. For some reason, the developer(s) of this game have the binary for it to use suid (I'm not sure their reasoning since I'm not a very experience programmer). Fortunately, in the makefile, it uses the variable OWNER=games by default. This is what is responsible for setting the ownership of all of the files when "make install" is ran appearantly. This presents a few challenges.
When you get to the point of where you make install it, it's install rule wants to recursively run chown on all the files being installed like a nice and tidy makefile does. So if you're not logged in as root when you do the "make install" it gets choked up a bit and doesn't copy/install all the files. So a regular user account doesn't generally have needed privileges to run chown and it has to be assumed when someone is going to install my tentative package they won't either.
Another delimma is that since it wants to utilize suid, this creates the necessity of a regular user account to be the owner of these files (I don't like the idea of this game running with root privileges personally). We don't want root ownership on whatever files have their suid bit set I would think. So this will require the making of the appropriate user. Again, this usually requires high enough privileges by the person building.
This of course could be solved by using useradd in the build function, and the having builder being logged on as root when they makepgk, but I really don't like that nor feel it's a very kosher approach.
Any idea of how I can come up with an elegant solution to this? How is this sort of situation normally handled with ABS?

If a package needs chown on install, or a new user created, this is typically done in the .install script. When pacman installs the pakcage, the .install script is run as root.
Based purely on your description, my suggestion would be to skip the make install stage, and use install commands in the PKGBUILD to put the files in the right places. In the .install script, create the required user and associated permissions.
Here's a typical example.

Need help with Quizzes & Advanced Actions

Hi, I am relatively new to Captivate (v6) and I am looking for a way to force learners to respond to a question BEFORE navigating to the next page.
On my question slides, I have a submit button and the next page button but no playbar.
I want the submit button to be active to provide feedback to the question with the next page arrow inactive. It would be great to have a message pop-up (similar to the incomplete message) when the learner presses on the inactive next page button. Once the question has been answered and submitted, then I want the next page arrow to be active for the learner to navigate to the next page.
Do I need to create an advanced action for this? Either a standard action or conditional?
Can anyone help me with this? I would be most appreciative!

Normally they do not need the Next button, except during Review (if you'll allow that after the last Quiz attempt).
So my most simple solution is to drag the Next button under the Clear button, it is normally stacked lower so it will be hidden. During Review, the Clear button will not be there and the Next button will become visible.
Have a look at my blog posts about functionality of Question slides:

ECC 6.0 Upgrade - Tips, Tricks, Lessons Learned needed (Esp. in SD, LO, MM)

Greetings Experts!
I am searching for information and/or documentation in regards to tips, tricks, lessons learned, and "steps to take" while upgrading to ECC 6.0 (from 4.6c, to be specific).
We have the install guides, and I'm currently looking at the ERP Solution browser to discern the differences between the two releases... however, we're in need of information on specific actions or things to look for after the technical upgrade. I am having trouble finding any SAP documentation of this kind.
Links to SAP documentation are highly desired. Personal documentation in this regard would be highly appreciated as well! My e-mail address is in my profile.
Many, many thanks in advance!

I try to insert some images on a website but the images are not in the right color mode. I do not know what to do? and also I have 1200 images to insert so I can not change one after one. So I need to set up an action, but I donot know how to do it... Thanks

What is the problem specifiaclly?
If the images are intended for web use I would recommend converting them to sRGB which could be done with Edit > Convert to Profile or with File > Save for Web, but as including a Save step in Actions and applying them as Batch can sometimes cause problems I would go with regular converting.
You could also try Image Processor Pro.

Need a little help new to mac

Need a little help I'm new to Mac.. i have had my ibook for over a year now and i like it a lot, but some times my usb post dies on my for a couple days maybe weeks. Ill have my ipod connected and when i go to plug in a flash drive. It doesn't detect my ipod anymore and my usb port don't work. it says that they were "removed improperly" and now they are not working again..i have tried to reinstall the whole os again and that doesn't work i don't have the hardware test disk so i don't know what could be the problem i know its not the logic board is there any test i can do to it to find out the problem its an ibook late 2001... there is no reset button on it. i tried to hold in the space bar and now when i boot up i get prompt to this screen that shows the world and then a folder with a ? mark but then after a few sec it boots right up im a mess need some help

+it says that they were "removed improperly"+
You have to go to the iPod's icon on your computer (or the flash drive's icon), select it and eject it there before removing it. Otherwise, data can be corrupted and/or lost. Repeatedly removing it without ejecting it from the desktop can cause it not to be recognized any longer.
If your iBook is a "late 2001" model. It should have a reset button. Check out the chart here to make sure which model iBook you have:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
+i get prompt to this screen that shows the world and then a folder with a ? mark but then after a few sec it boots right up+
It's trying to find a network volume from which to boot.
Once it's booted up, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk, and select your Mac OS X startup volume. Then close System Preferences. The next time you start up, it should start up without looking for a network volume.

Greetings, I need a little help. I have a WRT54G Wirele...

Greetings,
I need a little help. I have a WRT54G Wireless Router, and it worked well for years with my Alcatel DSL Modem (Bellsouth/ATT). The modem went out and it was replaced with Westell Modem. When I bypass the router I have no problem connecting to the Internet, however when I connect the router--no connection. I thought it would not be a problem swapping the modem out. I am running XP with Norton Internet Security and Anti-virus. I have disabled Norton and do not believe that to be the problem. Do I have to reconfigure the router? If so, can I do it with the original install CD? (I am disabled and the original CD/instructions/box is in the attic and I cannot get it easily.) I have read several different threads, but they do not specifically address my problem. Any assistance is appreciated. Eddy

Many Westell modems are actually "modem-routers" and they use the same 192.168.1.1 address space as your WRT54G. This is the root of your problems.
Try the settings at this URL.
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6323
Note that the "WAN" port on the BEFSR41 in the example is the same as the "Internet" port on your WRT54G.
Please let me know whether or not this worked for you.

Adobe, I think, are quite happy leaving the StageWebView as a highly efficient and low-level component accessing native functionality, so I wouldn't hold my breath on them extending it.

Need a little help with dial setup on CME

I've got a CME I'm using for testing and I think I need a little help figuring out the proper config to get the system to accept numbers I dial and have those numbers be passed on to an Avaya system (including the leading 9 for ARS in Avaya) via H.323 IP trunks.   I have it working well for internal 5 digit extension calls across the H.323 trunks and I also have it working well for some types of outside calls that gets passed on to the Avaya and then the Avaya dials the call out to the PSTN.   My only real problem is, I can't figure out how to correctly configure CME to examine the digits I'm dialing and only send the digits once I'm finished dialing....not as soon as it sees an initial match.
What's happening is this. I can dial local numbers in my area as 7 digits or 10 digits. The phone company doesn't yet force us to dial area code and number for local calls (10 digits). I can still dial 7 digits.   But...if I put an entry in CME that looks like this....
(by the way, the 192.168.1.1 IP is not the real IP address, that's just an example, but the rest of this entry is what I really have entered in CME)
dial-peer voice 9 voip
description Outside 7 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9.......
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
...Then it will always try to dial out immediately after seeing the first 8 digits I dial (9 plus the 7 digit number I called)...even though I have a speicifc entry in the system that accounts for calls to 9 plus area code 513. I would have assumed that if I put the specific entry in for 9513....... it would see that and wait to see if I was actually dialing something to match 9513....... instead of 9.......   Understand what I mean?   Because 9513....... is more specific than 9....... but it still tries to send the call out immediately after seeing the first 8 digits I dialed.
dial-peer voice 9513 voip
description Outside 10 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9513.......
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
...BUT...here's the interesting thing. If I trace the 10 digit call in Avaya, I see that the number being presented to the Avaya PBX is only the first 7 digits of the number....not the full 10 digits...BUT I see a few more of the digits I dialed (like the 8th and 9th digits) after the call is already setup and sent to the PSTN. It's like the CME is trying to send the rest of the 10 digits I dialed, but at that point it's already too late.   It setup the call as a 7 digit call (9 plus 7 digits), not 10 digit like I wanted.
I'm more familiar with how to setup dialing in the Avaya via ARS. My background is Avaya, not Cisco, so this dial-peer config is a little difficult for me until I understand the reasoning of how it examines the numbers and what I should do to make it wait for me to finish dialing....or to tell the system that what I'm dialing will be a minimum or a certain amount of digits and maximum of a certain amount of digits, like the Avaya does. I just need some pointers and examples to look at :-)   I think I've almost got it....but I'm just missing something at the moment.
Just so you understand, the call flow should be like this: Cisco phone registered to CME > CME to Avaya via H.323 trunks > Avaya to PSTN via ISDN PRI trunks connected to Avaya. I have to be sure I send the 9 to the Avaya also, because 9 triggers ARS in the Avaya.
Thanks for your help

Here is a good document that explains how dial-peers are matched in the Cisco world:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk90/technologies_tech_note09186a008010fed1.shtml#topic7
In your case, it is variable length dial plan you are trying to implenent. To fix it, you need to add a T to force the system to wait for more digits to be entered if there is any.
dial-peer voice 9 voip
description Outside 7 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya

Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have...

Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have the 2.4 GHz Wireless-G Broadband Router Model WRT54G version 2 I had bought some time ago (over year and a half) and never really had it hooked up since I have been moving from place to place. Now that I'm retired and staying in one place I'm ready to set up. I find myself having "several" power adaptors and not sure which is the correct one. Can anyone tell me if all the broadband routers had the Linksys name and/or logo on them? None of the adapters I have do. I want to use a proper adapter so as not to damage....are there any specs that would be helpful so that one of these adapters would work? Also I'm running WindowsXP Sorry to bother you folks with a dumb question as I'm sure there are others with far more important questions and concerns. Although I can't tell other than the end going into the unit fits, I do have one Class 2 Transformer which might be the one it's about 1 1/2 inches thick, about 2 inches tall with following written information: Model 49-12-1000D CUI Inc Input AC 120V 60Hz 20W Output DC12V 1000mA Appreciate any help you can give.....I believe my unit is an older one based on version so there may have been a "fatter" adapter then than now.

The power adapter output should be 12V, 0.5A(so 6W power rating)

Need a little help please Airport Express

Need a little help please.
I am trying to set up a wireless network at my home using Airport Express.
I have a regular phone line running in to I assume the modem. From there, there is an Ethernet cable running from that box to the back of the PC. My question is, I think, which of those do I unplug and plug into the Airport Express, the one on the back of the PC or the one that is in the back of the modem, or is this totally wrong.
Any help would be appreciated…
Thanks
In advance…
PS I have the manual but to me it is not very clear…

Your connection sequence would look like this:
Internet > Modem > AirPort Express >>>wireless to your computers.
This means that you would unplug the cable that is now connected at the back of your PC and move that connection to the AirPort Express.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Continue to follow the guided setup. On the third page, you will choose the option to "Create a wireless network" and continue the setup.
