Method to determine whether or not the main clip is playing

Is there an AS3 method that will return whether or not the swf has been paused? I tried to google this but I'm not getting anything.

I have no familiarity with Captivate. Isn't there any ability for the captivate button to indicate that the pause has been executed? Maybe you should try posting in the Captivate forum.

How to Quickly Determine Whether or not Specific Hotfixes or Updates are Installed?

I have a handful of applications that require specific hotfixes or updates to be installed. An excellent example of this is Internet Explorer 11 which has
9 prerequisites. (well only 6 are required, the remaining 3 prerequisites provide a better experience.)
Is there a reliable & fast way of checking for whether or not a specific hotfix and/or patch/update has been installed?
I am aware of `wmic qfe` but
According to
this, it will only "retrieve updates for Windows OS itself and its components (such as Windows Internet Explorer (IE) or Windows Server roles and features)"
Even if I'm checking for just 1 hotifx, it takes roughly 6 seconds to retrieve that information. When we're checking for dozen or two hotfixid's that quickly adds up. `Measure-Command {wmic qfe where "hotfixid='kb982018'"}` So
for IE11, we're looking at nearly 1 minute of waiting. Nonsense.
Note: I'm not asking "is my system patched?" nor am I asking for a report of installed patches. I could use WSUS, SCCM, MBSA and a multitude of other solutions for that. I need something scriptable that will install a specific prerequisite
at runtime, so I'm looking for a batch/vbscript/powershell solution that'll be quick, like 1 second quick, not 5+ per KB.

Thanks. I'm no expert. I don't have a slew of characters before or after my name. This isn't an I'm right/you're wrong situation. I don't claim to know everything - just trying to mitigate the questions I know I'm going to be asked.
Prior to posting, I saw
your post here (which is great I might add) which works, and it will work for determining whether or not a machine has a specific update/hotfix installed. But it consistently took 6 seconds to retrieve a single result on our assets. This
was on a Core i7 with 8GB and an SSD running Windows 8.1 Pro. This doesn't bode well for our day-to-day systems which are Core 2 Duo's with 4GB and spindle disks. Unless my math is wrong, if I'm checking for all 6 possible required IE11 prereqs
thats 36 seconds of wait time just for WMI queries. I'm just shocked it takes so long which made me wonder whether or not there was a faster retrieval method.
Why would I think there's a faster method? The closest example I can think of might be a software install. Sure, I can query WMI, but that too takes a while. But I could a
`reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{product code}` or `reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox 29.0.1 (x86 en-US)`
then check errorlevel to determine if the product was installed, right? Or take it a step further & check the `/v Version` to make sure it matches what I expect it to be, right? We don't have fancy tools here like Altiris or SCCM
:( Reg query just appears to be significantly faster than wmic/gwmi in that specific scenario. That gave me hope there
might be a faster option for checking for installed updates & hotfixes.
IE11
tries to install the proper prerequisites. If that fails, they'll have to be done manually.
And it just so happens that the IE11 install
does fail in our environment when we don't install the manually. Fortunately we're not ready to deploy IE11, so there's no rush to push IE11. I was merely using IE11 as an example because by virtue of the articles existence, this
is a possible real-world scenario. If I know that we can safely regression test the 6 patches for IE11, and just have it be an optional installation for the users that want or need it, then I can add the prerequisite logic to the script to help ensure
a successful installation. Again, an IE11 deployment isn't the goal here. IE11 is just the example.

I am also looking to get whether or not the document is open in a browser window which can be done with event

I am also looking to get whether or not the document is open in a browser window which can be done with event.target.external, but I want it to happen without any user interaction and all the events that I tried while loading the document cause an error. I also tried xfa.host.name, but it always returns "Acrobat" whether the doc is in Reader or the browser, so I guess that is not it. If I put the call to event.target.external in a button, it works (I guess those libraries might not be initialized yet, they are legacy, but I don't know if there is an event that happens on load after that lib is initialized).

// Check the document URL to determine if the form is open in the browser (online) or not (offline)
var MyDoc = event.target;
var MyURL = MyDoc.URL;
if ((MyURL.indexOf("http:") >=0) || (MyURL.indexOf(".tmp") >= 0))
ONLINE_STATUS_SAVE.rawValue = "ONLINE";
else
ONLINE_STATUS_SAVE.rawValue = "OFFLINE";

Please check your Firefox Installation's version. (can be found by clicking the main menu, either clicking or hovering over the help button, and then clicking about firefox in the sub menu). depending on how long ago you set up sync you may still be using the older sync version. firefox 29 introduced a new (and might i add far less tedious) sync version. see [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync|this Mozilla support article]] for information on upgrading your sync to the new version.

Download Flash Shockwave Video get only advertisement, not the main show

I want to watch the TV show on the website http://www.cbc.ca/video/swf/UberPlayer.swf?clipId=2556767122
I downloaded UberPlayer.swf (1715KB) by the the “Media” tab of the Firefox web browser.
That file is only an advertisement, not the main show.
Please help to download the main show.
Thanks.

Questions related to Flash should be asked on a forum for the Flash Player
That said, I dare say the clipId parameter effectively tells the server and/or player what content to display. If you had a packet sniffer installed you could probably find a URL for the content you are trying to (illegally?) download

I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fualt lies at my end or at the other end

I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fault lies at my end or at the other end

If only the language is Hebrew, you should correct it in the Paragraph and Character Styles.
But in such a case I would expect more problems.
If you are a creative cloud subscriber you should additionally install the InDesign version, English with Hebrew support:
Go to the preferences of you CC.app. It is found behind the Gear Symbols on the top right.
When the preferences open, go to the Apps section.
Change the App Language to English with Hebrew support.
Now you can install it. It will install on the very same place where your InDesign program is found some additional plugins, which will give you access to Hebrew functionality, like RTL text. Otherwise you will inherit in the document (and where you copy and paste it from such a document into another one). But now you can change or repair problems.
Now repeatstep 1 + 2, but you need not to install your own language again. InDesign will now, when started, run in the language of your OS (when you have it installed in that language) but with more functionality to handle problems with Hebrew documents.
The same steps you would have to do with Arabic or Asian documents. These languages will also add more plugins. But keep it limitted to those language you need. I have installed it that way, because I get sometime documen where the text flows the wrong direction or the numbers come up in Farsi digit, not in Arabic digits. For such purposes I need versions in languages I don’t understand myself.

Is there a script that it can make Overflow text automatically routed Next?(Not the main text frame)

Export the slideshow out of iMovie via the File ➙ Share ➙ File menu option as a 480p Quicktime movie.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How do you add songs from iTunes 11 that is not the main synced library to an old 80GB classic iPod?

My boyfriend and I found his old 80GB iPod classic in his stuff. I synced it to my Macbook Pro. I was then trying to sync all his music from his iMac onto the iPod so that the iPod contained both libraries, but in the iTunes 11 I cannot manually drag and drop all the music onto the iPod. I could've with the other devices on the computer but not the iPod Classic. Is it just too old? How can I put all our music onto this one iPod?

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

IPhoto 11 - keeping pictures in an album but not the main library

Hi there,
My main iPhoto library contains all my images which I am happy with, I have created another folder so I can put all my videos in there to separate them from the main library.
However whenever I delete the video from the main library it also disappears from the album which I have placed it in if that makes sense?
My aim is having an album just for the videos and using the 'library' for all my photos.
Is there any way to stop this happening? Or will I have to create two albums i.e. one for images and the other for videos and the library will have everything?

iPhoto works on a Library principle.
Every time - photo or video - is in the Library.
Albums are a subset of the Library.
This is similar to iTunes, where every song is in the Library and every Playlist is a subset of the Library.
So, you cannot have something in an album that is not in the Library.
Want to make a fast Album of all your movies?

Keyword -> is -> Movie

Back button returns to the movie, not the main menu

I created an iDVD with a main menu of three options: 1) Video, 2) Photo with audio track, and 3) Photo with audio track.
When I watch the video option and hit the "back" button, I return to the main menu. Perfect. But when I'm in either of the Photo/Audio pages and hit "back", I return not to the main me menu (which is what I want), but to the video.
Why is this happening and how do I correct it? Thanks!

I am a bit confused. When you say the "back" button, do you instead mean the "Menu" button?
Normally the back button would jump you back to the last chapter. If there are no chapters in your movie, then the back button would just back to the default first chapter at 0:00. In other words, back button should restart the movie from the beginning.

Making the main stage timeline play in reverse.

Hey all thanks for looking. I figured out how to do this with movie clips but I can't seem to get it right with the main stage. Can anyone tell me a simple methood of telling the stage to continue playing in reverse, after a button is clicked, until it reaches a keyframe that will tell it to stop? I'm trying to make it so buttons will tell the stage to play a transition from beginning to end and then have it play in reverse when the "back" button is pressed. I'm currently searching online to find an answer but I haven't had any luck yet. Thanks for the help!

Hi, i've made a video in final cut pro, the problem is that when i export it not the entire video is played, just the first 3 seconds

i made a video in final cut pro x. The entire thing isn't that long, however when it comes to sharing it only the very first few seconds are playe.
Thanks,
Jamie

see where the clip ends and then the timeline becomes black? when i add on an extra clip that line thing with the arrow does not move and if i try to export the video not all of it is played, just till that arrow.
