Mouse event problem (NEW problem)

Sorry guys...
The last problem was solved, yes... but another one has shown
up!
Remember the code:
txt82.visible = false;
botao82.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, botao82over);
botao82.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, botao82out);
botao82.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, botao82click);
function botao82over(event: MouseEvent)
txt82.visible = true;
function botao82out(event: MouseEvent)
txt82.visible = false;
function botao82click(event: MouseEvent)
gotoAndPlay("video82");
where i wanted a texto to show or hide depending on the mouse
event?
Ok...
Now, when i CLICK, i'll go over to "video82" allright, but
i'll ALSO get an error!
"Cannot access a property or method of a null object
reference" - on botao82out
which means that: when i click and move up to "video82", the
mouseout is also called to make the text dissapear but the function
is no more available because we've moved up to another time.
Any possibilities?
Erik.

Hi Haran,
bota82 IS the movieclip, which has to be like that because of
the naming of it's instance, used to get called in the code.
But anyway, guys, i found the solution! YEP! Increases
tremendously the code, but... well... it works!
i had the button layer extended all over the time.
The problem with this is that when i clicked and went to the
frame video82, for example, all the buttons still showed as
clickable.
How did i solve that?
More magic! Disappearing magic!
at the beginning of the code i certify the buttons to be
visible:
botao82.visible = true;
and so on with all of them...
then, right before the click function, i turned them all OFF
! :D
function botao82click(event: MouseEvent)
botao82.visible = false;
botao83.visible = false;
botao84.visible = false;
botao85.visible = false;
botao86.visible = false;
botao87.visible = false;
botao88.visible = false;
botao89.visible = false;
botao90.visible = false;
gotoAndPlay("video82");
Phew! It worked!
Know what? I think clearer when i discuss the problem with my
fellows here in the forum! Thanks everyone.
Hope this helps others in the future!
Erik.

  • Old Problem/New Problem: Lightroom can't find file, then finds, but won't edit it.

    (Lightroom 2; Macintosh G5; OS X (10.4.11))
    First, the old problem which, though unresolved, is here mostly for background:
    A little over a month ago, I posted a question (at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/480423?tstart=0 ).
    The short version of that problem is that certain previously accessible images were not able to be opened in Lighroom. The preview image appeared in the main window accompanied by this message across the top of it:
    "The file named "[name of image/file]" is offline or missing."
    When I right clicked on the image and selected "Show in finder" I got this message:
    "The photo '[name of file]' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    Below which was shown the original path to the file. In the middle of that path, one or more folders appeared with colons in their names in place of the slashes originally part of the names (some folders have dates in their names). Following the path via the Finder, the file was exactly where it was supposed to be, although, of course, slashes appeared instead of the colons that were in the Lightroom summary of the original path, but Lightroom couldn't find them.
    I was convinced that Lightroom was renaming the folders (but only in its interface; the original folders had correct names in the finder -- which is the only way they could have been named, since colons are illegal characters and won't be accepted as part of a file name). But I see now that there is some weird thing going on in the Finder itself. Even though I see the correct name on a folder when I search for it, or navigate through the hierarchy, if I click on the file at the end of that hierarchy (the file that Lightroom said it couldn't find) and ask for file info (via Command - I, or other method), the path to that file shows colons where slashes should be, but only in the names of the folders that were so named in Lightroom. All other folders with slashes in their names are listed correctly. So it's a Finder problem. Though this is still a mystery, I have been able to work around the problem. But how is this happening? (Note that I will be reformulating the question and posting it on the Apple discussion groups soon; I don't expect this forum to deal with Apple system issues. Just thought that others here may have had the same problem.)
    Now, the new problem, possibly related to the old one:
    In the same collection where I noted the previous problem, I selected an image that I wanted to print. The preview came up with this message:
    "The file could not be found."
    But when I right click on the image and select "Show in finder" it opens the correct Finder window with the file in question highlighted. The file, a TIFF, opens normally in Preview or Photoshop.
    So why does Lightroom think it's not there? (even though it can show me exactly where it is)
    I have edited this photo in Lightroom before. I have printed it from Lightroom before (as shown in the Lightroom history). But today it can't be edited, won't print and "could not be found"!!!
    I know I can print from Photoshop, or re-import this photo into Lightroom (along with any others that Lightroom "can't find"), though both would require time and re-editing the original. I would rather understand (if that's possible) why this is happening in the first place, so hopefully I can avoid such wackiness in the future.
    I realize that may have to burn some sage and hire a Shaman, but any ideas that won't smoke up the house or scare the cats would be most welcome.
    Thanks for reading.
    Leonard B.

    If you have an old goat around that's not doing so well, consider the sacrifice.
    The one thing that occurs to me besides the Gremlin, is the use of colons or slashes or some other character that the OS or LR doesn't like in some file name or other.  I think you'd have to change same in Finder, then show LR where the images are.

  • How can I disable any mouse event while is another is processing?

    Hi!
    I've a problem and I need some help.
    I'm downloading an image in the MouseAdapter's mouseClicked method. So I need to disable any other mouse events produced durring this download. These events can be removed from the queue or is there is any way to disable entering mouse events to the queue while another one is processing?
    If anyone can halp me, thanks a lot.

    Interesting situation. I would suggest that the downloading be done on another thread; long processes shouldn't be handled on the swing thread in most situations. Then to stop the mouse events you'd simply disable the component that has the mouse listener until the image has finished loading. That way these events will be processed and discarded while the image is loading.
    ie,
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
      final Component source =  (Component)e.getSource;
      source.setEnabled(false); //stop further mouse events.
      new Thread()
          public void run()
             loadImage(); //should not return until image is loaded
             source.setEnabled(true);
    }Hope that helps. :)

  • Ical Icloud synch problem - new

    I have a problem with Ical sync with iCloud on one of my two Imacs, both running latest Lion 10.7.3.  On one of the iMacs, the synch works the way it should - meaning that any change I make in the iCloud calendar gets pushed to that iMac, and any change that I make on the desktop iCal gets pushed to iCloud.
    But on my other iMac, with exact same configuration of iCal, exact same config of iCloud the results are puzzling.  I have a total of 6 calendars, nonoe local to either desktop and all 6 on the cloud. On 2 out of the 6 calendars, iCloud changes geet pushed to the desktop, but I am unable to even see any events on the other 4 calendars - all of them are checked to display.  I went through the website troubleshooting which included quitting iCal on the desktop with difficulty, then unchecking iCloud clendar, then waiting a minute, then rechecking the iCloud calendar. Then restarting the dsestop. Same results. I did it twice to be sure. I still only see 2 out of the 6 calendars.  Can't figure it out.  Another odd thing is that when I create a new event on the problem iMac desktop, I don't get a chance to indicate which calendar I want, or which dsate I wawnt, or what tiime I want. The event just defaults to my default calendar, gets pushed to the cloud, gets pushed to the other iMac  and shows up, but I can't see it on the problem iMac.

    Greetings,
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    --- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard.  You will see "Library" in the menu.
    4. Launch iCal and test.
    If the issue persists:
    1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    --- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps!

  • I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature:   Problem Event Name:APPCRASH   Application Name:lightroom.exe   Application Version:3.4.1.10

    I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature:   Problem Event Name:APPCRASH   Application Name:lightroom.exe   Application Version:3.4.1.10

    First thing to try is the latest version of Lightroom (currently 5.6). If it don't crash, then problem solved - upgrade.
    If Lr5 won't run on your machine, then Lr4 instead.
    If both Lr5 and Lr4 crash on your machine, then at least you know it's a not a Lightroom version problem but something wonked in your system.
    If you can't figure out how to resolve the crash on the system you have, then it's time for a new system (or try another converter/editor app).
    PS - A few things to try:
    * After re-installing new version, if that doesn't fix it, then get rid of all Lightroom-related data files (rename them so they can be restored), in case problem is in Lr data file.
    * Remove all non-essential hardware in case problem is hardware/driver.
    * Startup up machine with minimal software services.
    * If still no go, consider updating driver software, including mainboard drivers and/or bios firmware if need be.
    * Of course run all the system hardware and software diagnostics you can - problem could be failing disk or ram..
    * Check system event logs for any clues.
    If you don't know how to do some of these things - ask.
    Do not say "you've tried everything" unless you want a lecture - there is most definitely something you haven't tried. It's like when you can't find your car keys - you haven't looked everywhere -  there is somewhere you haven't looked!
    PS - Has Lightroom EVER worked on your machine? what's changed since then..
    Good luck,
    Rob

  • New problem of photos looking "splotchy" in imovie but not in iphoto?

    I've made a bunch of home movies in imovie 08 but on my most recent one I have a new problem.
    I noticed a number of photos have what I call a "splotchy" or "granular" look to them. Yet, when I view the same photos in iphoto, they look fine. I notice most of the "splotch" takes place in darker colors, especially blues and such. For example, I was in a photo wearing a navy blue shirt. The stomach to the arm of the shirt looked like I had an enormous sweat stain even though nothing was there in reality. The picture looks fine in iphoto.
    On my camera, I did make one change. I maxed out the pixel count to the highest that my picture allows rather than the one below it. I think the compression is set to the maximum allowed. Not sure if this would impact it.
    When I expert, I use expert settings to go to quicktime.
    Any thoughts as I'd like to avoid this in the future and possibly convert this movie again to avoid the splotches, if possible.
    Thanks.

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • A new problem: cannot drag anymore

    In addition to all recent MacBook Pro problems (keyboard dead and USB not working after wake up) I am suffering for a new problem: I cannot move files with the mouse or trackpad anymore.
    I can select a file, but drag operation does not start. I didn't do anything recently (e.g. installing new stuff) that could lead to such a problem.
    Moreover, even after a restart the issue remains - so I'm definitely stuck.
    Any idea or suggestion?

    Have you guys checked the settings of the keyboard and mouse on the system preferences? sometimes you gotta set them up again in the case of a different profile.
    hope this helps

  • T3i 'movie recording has automatically stopped' and other ongoing and 'new' problems.

    I purchased a T3i in March of 2011 and within a year of purchase we started experiencing problems.
    Firstly - I purchased a three year Mack Warranty with this camera.
    By June of 2012, the 'movie recording has automatically stopped' problem was no longer our only issue. That month we lost a whole production day of video. There was no explanation. It was on the same card that we had used before and we sued it after. It was not a particularly hot shoot because we were inside and out frequently. All footage from that day was gone from the camera. I ran a recovery on the files; they were present, but they were unrecoverable. When this happened again a couple of weeks later, we threw away the card that it happened on and on the third event, We were using speed 10 cards only.
    On August 31st, I sent our T3i in to Mack who looked at it, couldn't duplicate the problem (movie recording auto stopped, much less data loss) and they got it ready to send back. I spoke with Mack support and got a supervisor to look more closely with a technician at the problem (I had sent a very detailed description of the problem) based on my description and a technician paying attention, they were able to duplicate the problem but not fix it. They sent it to Canon. Canon duplicated the problem and 'fixed' it. It was then sent back to Mack because they won't send directly to Mack's customer. Mack sent it back. I received it sometime after October 23rd. Note - that's no camera from 8/31 to 10/23 + a couple of days shipping. Nearly two solid months.
    'Movie recording automatically stopped' would not go away but we were not losing footage. I called Canon. Canon support told me that it could be a card speed issue and if not that, maybe a bad make or brand. They said that this is a problem with DSLR's or maybe rebels specifically and we would need to learn to deal with it - something about data capture and data block sizes. The problem is that when you're shooting a scene, it's not always just 'incidental' if you have to start over because of an error, is it? And is this how Canon's products are to work, really?
    In December, a white dot appeared on our sensor. We sent it in on Jan 10 and got it back sometime after Jan. 31st. Movie Recording Automatically Stopped is still occurring. It comes and goes. :Lately it's been infrequent.
    A little while ago I pulled the camera out to take some snapshots of a system I'm working on. No matter which mode, autofocus on, with the flash up, attempting to get an autofocus (depressing snapshot button 1/2 way) I get this strange electric sound and a flash. Autofocus will not engage. Again - no matter which mode - no autofocus, a strange electric sound and a flash. Movie recording works fine. But that's not the only capability of this camera, is it?
    Canon - it is apparent to me that we got a lemon. This will not work for my business any longer. Trying to get problems solved with this camera has been lengthy, disconcerting, painful. My disappointment has me throwing in the towel and asking - why the heck would I buy a Canon again much less the Mack warranty to go with it?
    Please give me a solution beyond going for another two months without a camera that comes back and develops a new problem within one to two months’ time.

    This problem has been posted online in many places & is a known and serious flaw with the T3i. How come Canon feigns ignorance & blames it on the card or file size? Why don't they post a positive solution or at least admit to the camera's shortcomings?
    The Canon tech rep is being disingenuous! The problem happens on and off to a lot of people using the same card!!! It has happened to me as well with me as well. Sometimes it records to the max limit & sometimes it just stops! Doesn't Canon do research into serious errors with their cameras?
    I'm sure they know of this problem & don't want to recall & fix their sh..ty camera.

  • Printing, new problem, tiny size, not cured by any steps identified in support.

    A new problem a few weeks old. When I print from Firefox, the result is a very tiny image printed at the top part of the page. If I change the settings, it chops each page up into 4 pages and prints a quarter on each page. I do not have this problem if I print from IE, so not a printer problem. I have been through every single step in the help topic on printing problems and any step suggested in answer to a forum question. No joy.

    If Firefox is not using the whole sheet of paper, this can be caused by having extracted the wrong paper size settings from Windows when reading the print driver data. Clearing it can involve finding some obscure settings, but here goes:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) For each setting for the problem printer, right-click and Reset it. The fastest way is to right-click with the mouse and then press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.
    Note: In a couple other threads involving Brother printers, the preference '''printer_''printer_name''.print_paper_data''' was set to 256 and when the user edited it to 1 that fixed the paper size problem. If you see a 256 there, you can edit the value by doubling-clicking it or using right-click>Modify.
    Any improvement?

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 installed?
    How far into the opening of the program do you get? Do you get to the Expert or Quick workspaces?
    And, if so, how long can you stay there? What are you doing when you get this message, opening a new project
    or opening an existing one that has been saved/closed or just trying to launch the program from the desktop icon.
    Are you running the program Run As Administrator and from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    Do you have the McAfee antivirus program? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer
    with Premiere Elements 12?
    What video card/graphics card does your computer use? Have you verified at the web site of the manufacturer of the
    card that the video card/graphics card driver is up to date?
    If you do not know, check the Device Manager/Display
    Adapters to determine if you have 1 or 2 cards.
    Depending on your answers, the next step will be
    Uninstall the program the usual Control Panel way.
    (If you can get into the program long enough to go to Help Menu/Sign Out, please do that to deactivate the program
    before going to the uninstall in Control Panel area.)
    Do a run through with ccleaner (both the regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) to get rid of leftovers from
    incomplete uninstalls and reinstalls.
    https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
    Reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewalls disabled.
    (If you have McAfee as the antivirus, that may be problem, and we can take care of that without having to go
    through this uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall.)
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • New problem...SSD drive is no longer recognized

    OK, I was having the memory issues so I went out and bought new memory that is supposed to be compatible (GSKILL 2x4 MB 1333 DDR3), and now I have a brand new problem.  My SSD is no longer recognized, so I can't boot my OS.  I've tried swapping ports, swapping cables, cleared CMOS...I even put the WINDOWS 7 Disc in to see if it would find the drive in the install screen, but it says no hard drive found.
    Anybody know the issue I may be having now?

    I had a similar issue, my BIOS wouldnt recognize my Intel X25 after a blue screen in AHCI mode.
    In the BIOS I had to switch the controller type to Standard IDE. This made the drive visible again but to make it operable under AHCI, I had to use a Hex Editor from a DOS Boot Disk, and manually erase the first few sectors of the drive.
    Then I could switch the controller back to AHCI in the BIOS and repartition/reinstall Windows - Until the next blue screen .
    Obviously, doing this erases the MBR, allocation tables and partition table, and therefore makes ALL data on the drive inaccessible.
