Make Tween button inactive while _MC is tweening

Hi there, can anyone help a novice flash user!
I've set up 2 buttons to tween a movie clip to go diagonally
left or right. I need to prevent the user from clicking the buttons
(make them inactive) while the _MC is tweening but I still want the
button visable then as soon as the _MC has reached it's new tweened
position the buttons should be active.
many thanks for any help!

How make a button inactive after the click ?

Hi,
how can i make a button inactive after i clik on it ? I need it becasue i have one button which play my symbol (made with this nice course https://blogs.adobe.com/edge/2012/07/18/tutorial-leveraging-independent-symbol-timelines/) but it's not working when the button is in the symbol where there is animation, it's only working when the buttons is a symbol on the stage and on the top of all over symbols, so when i clik on it works and play the symbol that i want but after is still active so i can't place another button at the exact same place of the first because it will play the first button and i need to put 20 buttons, anyone can help me please ? My buttons is just an empty rectangle so i don't talk about turn of the visibility but turn of th "activity"
Thanks a lot

If you prefer you can put the code in compositionReady
Here is a sampe on how to use a next and prev buttons to change data.I have some other examples I will add later but this one could give you an idea on how to do it.
This one uses data from an array and then moves through the info:
https://app.box.com/s/78ya0labbydgwogxra2a
If you are playing symbols then use the rigth scope to get to them.
I would make a array of the symbol names and use it the same way like I did the array for the info.
sym.getSymbol(mysymbolArray[i]).play();

How to make a button to stop and run a while loop?

Hi all,
I am a beginner in the Labview. I did a program that contains a while loop, its stop condition is connected to button. I selected “switch when pressed” to be the operation of this button. Our teacher asked us to make this button stops the loop if it is pressed and its name is converted to run instead of stop. And if it is pressed then again it starts the loop from the point it stopped in.
Can anybody help me, please?

First, please use a smaller font when composing your messages.
You will need two while loops. An inner loop which has its stop terminal attached to the stop button. Put that in the False case of a case structure. Wire a local variable of that stop button to the case selector of the case structure. Put the case selector inside another while loop which is the one that keeps the program running no matter what the state of the original Stop button. You will need a master stop button to stop the outer loop when you are ready to end the whole program. Don't forget to put small millisecond waits in each of the loops so that the loops don't eat up all the CPU resources.
For that stop button, you could rename the True title to Run, so that when it is pressed to stop the inner loop, the button will show the word Run. Pressing it again pops it back out, allows the false case to execute and the innermost while loop to run.
You could also change the words on the buttons by using property nodes.

How to setup the button inactive in pf-status?

who can tell me how to setup a button inactive in pf-status so that the button is inactive when the program is running?
there is a sample of button '&SUM' in PF-STATUS 'STANDARD'(lines 303) of program 'RM07MKON'.

Hi huanzhiyu,
In a custom (Z) program you can make PF status buttons and subsequently their OK codes inactive by using the following command:
SET PF-STATUS 'STANDARD' EXCLUDING '&SUM'.
And if you need to exclude more than one OK code
data: itab type sy-ucomm occurs 0,
wa type sy-ucomm.
move '&SUM' to wa. append wa to itab.
move '&ADD' to wa. append wa to itab.
set pf-status 'STANDARD' excluding itab.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Aditya

Buttons inactive when the playbar reaches the project end

Hi
I am using Captivate 6.
I am creating a standard UI template file. I have added a smartshape button that opens up a PDF file for download/ save. This button is visible and active throughout the Captivate project right from the first slide (timing set to Rest of the project).
The problem is when the playbar reaches the end of the project, this button gets inactive.
I checked in the forums and found a similar query in this post.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3735858#3735858
Based on the info there, I checked the frames in the project (in Project Info) and the last frame where the playbar ends. I noticed that the last frame of the playbar is 2 frames more than the frames mentioned in Project Info.
Again, taking a cue from Lilybiri's comments in that thread, I added one advanced action at the On Exit of the last slide:
Expression: cpCmndGotoFrame = cpInfoCurrentFrame - 2. (to send last frame count back by 2 frames)
Assign: cpCmndPause with 1 (to pause the last slide, so that the learners can do any other task on the last slide if they wish to)
This solves the problem.
However, is there a way to make this button remain active without using advanced actions? This template will be used by some newbies to Captivate. I feel they might think that assigning advanced actions is complicated task and hesitate to use this one.

Thanks from me as well. I'm trying to make an interactive house simulation game (basic) and hit this issue where the timeline needs to skip to the next segment as several options are available per room (listed one after the other in the timeline). Flash isn't particularly easy to use when it comes to this kind of thing. Is Flash Catalyst CS5 more suited to this?

How to make a button to stop and run a for loop?

How to make a button to stop and run a for loop? and if it is stopped it shall start from where i t stopped.

Your VI has some very fundamental flaws.
The start/stop button is outside the FOR loop, thus it will NOT get read during execution of the FOR loop, but only before the FOR loop starts. Think dataflow!
Thus the terminal of the start/stop button belongs inside the FOR loop.
Your FOR loop iterates 20x, which probably takes about a nanosecond. You will NOT be fast enough to reliably press the start/stop button during a specific iteration of the FOR loop.
Your code does not "stop and run" a FOR loop (sic). The loop always spins, but executes an empty case when "Stopped". I guess that's what you actually want?
Once you solve (2), the x indicator will contain a random value whenever you "stop".
As soon as the 20 iterations complete, the outer while loop spin an things start over, another nanosecond later.
Place e.g. a 500ms wait inside the FOR loop to solve this.
Don't place terminals of indicators on top of formula nodes.
Your formula does not produce any output, so really has no purpose.
Use a real "stop" button to terminate the while loop (mechanical action: latch when released). Right now you are using a plain switch, which does not reset to false before the next run. This means that you need to manually reset it before running the program again.
It is oftern useful to operate the VI in execution highlighting mode. You will immediately see that your button does not get read during execution of the FOR loop. Try it!

How to make a button to search something in sql

I am trying to make a button that can search for something like for example if like say i type yes, it will show me things that is under yes.But I am not sure how to make the code work as I cannot change the php code as it is under the requirement that I make the button work and not using the php code to make it work which means that I cannot type the yes to show the information and the button must somehow have the "yes" in the function to show the information.Please help me and Thanks for your help.
This is my flash code.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.Responder;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class main extends MovieClip {
var gateway:NetConnection;
var responder:Responder;
public function main() {
gateway = new NetConnection();
gateway.connect("http://localhost:8088/amfphp/gateway.php");
responder = new Responder(OnPass,OnError);
showAlBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,doAvailable);
function doAvailable(evt:MouseEvent):void
gateway.call("Books.getBooksAvailable",responder);
function OnPass(res:Object):void
var i:int;
albumDG.removeAll();
for (i=0;i<res.length;i++)
albumDG.addItem(res[i]);
function OnError(res:Object):void
trace("Error");
.This is the code for the php code that works because I already tested it out because it allows me to type yes and it shows me the required information that I need and it is not tested on flash cs6 but on local host things that allows me to test it out.
function getBooksAvailable($avail)
$this->connect();
$sql = "SELECT title as 'Book Title', author as 'Author', price as 'Price', available as 'Available'
FROM tblbookinventory
WHERE available ='" . $avail . "'";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $this->_connection);
$rows = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
array_push($rows, $row);
return $rows;

use the urlloader class to call your php file.
the php function you showed is expecting a variable ($avail) that might accept a value of 'yes'.

I was wondring if there is any top free app for cleaning up the computer and make it run faster while booting, on startup and while surfing web. I am using a macbookpro with IOS10.8.5, under chrome,safari,firefox net environment. thanks on yourhelp

I was wondering if there is any top free app for cleaning up the computer from malware, phinishing apps, adware, and othere malicious softwares and make it run faster while booting, on startup and while surfing web. I am using a Macbook pro with IOS10.8.5, under chrome,safari,firefox net environment. thanks on your help

I was wondering if there is any top free app for cleaning up ...
There is no such thing, since the problems you are describing can have various causes. Seeking anything claiming to "clean" your Mac is asking for trouble, since all of those products are scams, whether they are "free" or not.
If you are having trouble with your Mac, describe what it is. Be as specific as possible. For general recommendations read below.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose:Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

How to make the screen dim while music is playing

I can't get the screen to dim while playing music on my iPod Nano. It used to be that the screen dimmed while music was playing until it lit up when I hit a button to change volume, track, etc. This preserved the battery life. It seems that I inadvertantly changed some setting just a few days ago because I saw the apple logo appear on the screen and since then have not been able to figure out how to make the screen dim while playing music. I think the fact that the screen is staying on while I'm listening now is making the battery out very quickly. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thank you!

Hello ZingMA,
You need to reset the backlight timer.
Go to settings, general, and backlight. You should be able to set if from there. I am assuming you have a 6th gen nano. If you have a different model the user manuals have the steps. Found here:
iPod nanos
Hope this helps.

Make transparent "buttons" just for function?

I tried to make hyperlinks when I click text of vita, art,
statement, for example.
I just want to make sure what I am doing is right.
- Instead of making buttons for each of text ( i.e., vita,
art, statement),
- I will make one transparent "button" symbol (which means
just 0% alpha setting for color on Up/Over/Down but some color on
Hit state).
- then I will place this transparent button under the each
text.
- then, select each button, and make get URL actionscript.
Is this transparent button will work do you think?
One more question. If I put this button under "statement"
text, can I scale to make bigger enough to cover the text?
Or do you make each button symbols for vita, art, statement
of text?
Thanks in advance!

>> Instead of making buttons for each of text ( i.e.,
vita, art,
>> statement), I will make one transparent "button"

That's a good way to go. :)
>> (which means just 0% alpha setting for color on
Up/Over/
>> Down but some color on Hit state).
Actually, *all* you need is some shape on the Hit frame. The
other
frames can be empty. That makes it easiest.
>> then I will place this transparent button under the

I would place it over each text, not under.
> then, select each button, and make get URL actionscript.
Sure. Or any other action.

scale to

Absolutely.

statement

No, no! Use one single button symbol -- that's the whole
point: one
symbol used for many purposes ... saves on SWF file size and
makes your
Library less cluttered.
> yes, it will work. yes, you can scale it using the free
transform

change the

copied from.
That all depends on how you're handling those button events.
Back in
Flash 5 (that's quite a while ago), you had to use on() or
onClipEvent(),
but since Flash MX (aka 6), it's been possible to put all
your code into a
single script layer. This is the current recommended "best
practice," and I
agree with it. Just give each button instance -- in this
case, each copy of
that single "invisible" button -- an instance name. You
accomplish that by
selecting each button on the Stage, in turn, and filling in
the Instance
Name field in the Property inspector.
Then use each instance name in a frame script and assign a
function to
the Button.onRelease event for each:
buttonA.onRelease = function() {
getURL("
http://www.domain.com/page.html");
buttonB.onRelease = function() {
getURL("
http://www.domain.com/some_where_else.html");
// etc.

Is there a way to make text messages silent while on a phone call?

Is there a way to make text messages silent while on a phone call?

Engage the mute switch. It's the little slider just above the volume buttons. If orange is showing, it's on mute.

My iphone 5 will freeze up and turn off and back on. It will go to the apple screen and then go black MULTIPLE times before it comes back on. No buttons work while this happens. My phone is a week old.

User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you perform these steps and it still doesn't work, then make an appointment at the Apple Genius bar and have the hardware checked.
