Moving frames.....Simple problem.....

Hello all,
I am new to flash and am having a problem which I thought
should be an easy resolution but it is killing me......
I have a movieclip on my stage in frame 10. In the movie clib
there is a button that when pressed opens another movie clip which
hols 2 buttons. It is essentially a menu item that when clicked
opens a subsequent menu with 2 more items. When one of the
subsenquent menu items is clicked, I want to jump to frame 20,
however nothing is happening.
On the "on(release)" of the subsequent button I have the
"gotoandstop("scene 1", 20 " coded....... can anyone shed some
light why its not jumping there for me.
Thanks in advance
SH

Hello, I assume you have used a line of code similar to this
for your button
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(20);
this will go to and play frame 20 of the movie clip that your
button is sitting in. What you want the button to do is to
play frame 20 of the main timeline. _root is the keyword
which always refers to the main timeline. So by adjusting your
buttons code you will alow it to communicate with the main
timeline.
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(20);

    Hello
    Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
    With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
    I was like ????#$%?&*(???
    Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
    Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! -  is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
    The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
    How to disable it ??
    Simple question - can't find the answer !

    Helllooo !?
    sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
    Thanks !!

    Hello, how are you?
    I tell her that I'm developing a flash content with as2 and I have a very simple problem, I hope you can help me
    I happened to create a movie clip and inside to create a scroll that is two isntancias,
    I mean:
    in the first frame create a button in the 6 to 5 buttons and an action to melleve the sixth frame and another to return. (Elemental truth)
    Now I have a problem. In creating a movie clip instance name to each button and in the average place the next fram as2,
    boton.onRollOver name = function () {
           gotoAndStop ("Scene 1", "eqtiqueta");
    because what I want is that from inside the movie clip, go to the scene proncipal to a frame that is three in the label name.
    however, does not work.

  • MOVED: MSI 975X PROBLEM WITH INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS VISTA

    This topic has been moved to Vista problems.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=101708.0

    Beta 2 or RC1 candidate???? RC1 should support..........
    Beta 2 is real, slow and you have alot of updates to DL, but both are pre-release products and will not work 100%.
    Even when Vista is released, they will still be alot of hardware that will not work 100% and this is purely because software is always playing catch up to hardware.
    It was only September, when Nvidia released some Beta2/RC1 drivers that worked properly........

  • I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

    HI All
    I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
    I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
    for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

    Hi abdelhady,
    I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
    There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.

  • Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

    Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

    Well then maybe you could take a screenshot because the appearance of such a window is news to me.
    Also post your OS X version and what model Mac you have. The more detail, the better. Thanks.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse or trackpad. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • Very Simple Problem-- Need help in method selection process

    Hello,
    It's difficult to explain the background of the program I am making-- but I am stuck at a very simple problem, that I can only solve with a very long block of if statements:
    I have 3 possible numbers-- 1, 2, or 3.
    Imagine two numbers are already taken-- say 1 and 2. I want a variable to set itself to the number that's not taken (3).
    So, again: If two numbers were taken say 2 or 3-- I want the variable to be sent to the other one that isn't taken-- 1.
    Thank you for your help,
    Evan.

    Actually, I'll just tell you the context of the program-- here is what I have so far:
    This program is meant to simulate Monty Hall Problem:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
    The program sets up an array of three possible values. Each one of those values represents a door with either a goat or a car behind it. It then randomly sets one of those values to 1 (in order to represent a car as per the Monty Hall problem), and 0's represent goats.
    The user, which is simulated by the program (does not involve actual interaction), chooses a door initially.
    The game show hosts then reveals a door that is not the users initial choice, but IS a goat ( an array value of 0).
    For example if the array was [0][0][1]
    The user could pick door one (array position 0). Which is a goat.
    The game show host then reveals a goat that is not the users choice-- which would be array position 1.
    After the game show host reveals the goat-- I want the user to always switch his decision to the only other remaining door that was not his first choice.
    Then I wanted the computer to test to see if his final choice is the one with a car. And to tally up the amount of times he got it right.
    --Sorry that was long winded:
    import TerminalIO.*;//imports TerminalIO package for system.out.println
    import java.util.*;//import java.util for random
    public class Monty_Problem
         int doors[]= {0,0,0};
         Random rand= new Random();
         double wins,totals=0;
         public void carAssignment()
              int car_door= rand.nextInt(3);
              doors[car_door]=1;
         public int judgesChoice(int judgeDoor, int initialChoice)
              if(judgeDoor != initialChoice && doors[judgeDoor]!=1)
                   return judgeDoor;
              else
                   return judgesChoice(rand.nextInt(3), initialChoice); //infinite loop right here that I cannot remedy.  I want the program to have the judge pick a location that is not occupied by a  '1' and is not the user's choice. 
         public void gamePlaySwitches()
              int initialChoice= rand.nextInt(3);
              int judgeDoor = 0;
              int secondChoice= 0;
              judgeDoor= judgesChoice(rand.nextInt(3), initialChoice);
              //This part is meant to have the user switch choices from his initial choice
                   // to the only other choice that hasn't been revealed by the judge. 
              while(secondChoice == initialChoice || secondChoice== judgeDoor)
                   secondChoice++;
              if(doors[secondChoice]==1)

  • A Simple problem I`m sure BUT ITS DRIViNG ME CRAAAZY!

    Hello,
    I hope someone can help.
    I published a site with the first podcst episode using iweb.It went through onto iTunes bo problem so all`s good... so today I put together the 2nd episode, submit it to itunes as before...up comes the `..please provide the link to the podcast RSS feed ...' etc
    Podcast Feed URL:http://rss.mac.com/jubemeg/iWeb/Bandwagon/podcast/rss.xml is the address I`m given as with the first episode, I press continue and ....Unfortunatly THE FEED HAS ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED.Course it has! Help!
    I have looked through the tech specs and I cant make head nor tail of it can someone help me in real basic layman language!
    Thank you,
    Jules

    Jules, it's a simple problem with a simple fix. (and it drove me nuts too)
    Publish to .Mac (or your server if it's different)... then PING itunes to let them know to go look for new content on your server (or .Mac). You PING iTunes by cutting and pasting the url addy below into safari and clicking return. You'll get an error message, don't worry, it's supposed to happen. About an hour later, maybe a bit longer, your new episode will be available.
    DONT submit your podcast by selecting the "SUBMIT PODCAST TO ITUNES" menu selection again. That command is for your first submission, not your subsequent ones. Think of your podcast as a book. And each episode is a chapter. When you ping iTunes, they go get the whereabouts of the new chapter and make it available for the world to come and read, hear, or watch.
    the PING url is...
    https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=INSERTYOURFE EDIDHERE
    Your feed ID number is in your original email from the itunes folks when they sent you your acceptance email and said that your podcast was now up and running on the ITMS.
    Hope this helps.

  • A simple problem in j2sdk

    I am in a great problem with a very simple problem. I am new to J2EE. I had installed j2sdk1.4.0_03 / tomcat 4.1 in windows 2000. my problem is that the servlets are not being compiled. The error is " package javax.servlet is not found". error are also there in all the classes of this packege like in HttpServletResponse, HttpServletRequest etc.
    The classpath are correct. One of my friend is working with the same version and with the same classpath but in Windows XP..
    can anyone tell me why this is happening. and how to overcome this. PLEASE...............

    Add the jar that contains the javax.servlet package to your javac classpath using the -classpath option. Not sure why your CLASSPATH isn't working maybe youi have some invalid characters or directories with spaces that aren't quoted etc... I believe the servlet APIs are in servlet-api.jar, or at least they are in 5.0. Also please searxh the forums in the future this is a pretty typical question and has been answered numerous times.

  • A simple problem to solve... I hope.

    $A simple problem to solve... I hope. Hi Guys,
    This is my first post on this forum, and I'm hoping that the problem I'm encountering at the moment is down to my own stupidity rather than technical issues.
    Firstly, I should mention that I have used my X-fi sound blaster xtreme audio card for months now in my old PC which was running XP 32 bit with no problems whatsoever. In the last day I've built a new PC which has the following specs:
    Intel I7 860
    tb HDD
    4gb Ram
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64
    Nvidia GTX280
    Sound was very quiet and of a fairly poor quality to begin with, and I soon realised that I hadn't installed any drivers for the soundcard, so I went ahead and did so. Following this, I enter a **bleep**storm of illogical proportions which to me makes absolutely no sense.
    I get no sound from my speakers or headphones whatsoever. I have a pair of M-Audio AV-40 monitors at the moment, and no matter what I try, I can't get sound to work. When I go to the mixer, it seems odd to me
    http://yfrog.com/7fxfiproblemj
    I thought that there would be options for Line Outs etc, but I may be wrong.
    I've run the diagnostic tests and everything comes back absolutely fine.
    The weirdest thing however is the fact that when I test the speaker configuration, it responds to nothing except from the 7. surround sound, and my speakers react to the bottom left and bottom right speakers. I've tried installing, re-installing drivers no end. Looked for fixes and checked google as well and found nothing that matches the description of my problem.
    Am I missing out on something really obvious here? Or is there a more technical underlying factor ?behind this issue.
    Any help is hugely appreciated, thanks?

    Thanks for all of you help, but I still don't think the problem's solved.
    Here's the problem explained more thouroloy. I have a java program that uses lots of jar files. That means that to run my program, I need to have the CLASSPATH set to pick up all of these jar files. I'd also like to be able to give someone a copy of this program on a cd and have them immediately run it without having to assume anything about their configuration (except that they have java installed).
    So what I did was create a batch file that (at least temporarily) sets up the CLASSPATH to meet my needs. It then calls "java myProgram <all the other parms...>".
    Things run fine, except that the command window that gets opened up stays around while Swing program runs, and doesn't close until I close the Swing program. I'd like that that didn't happen.
    -- echo off
    Not going to do anything to help. It will stop the batch commands from echoing, but that's about it.
    -- javaw
    I tried this and it also doesn't work. It seems that neither java nor javaw return until after the program that it is running actually end.
    -- Executable jar
    Sounds promising, but will it work? How do I make sure the CLASSPATH is properly set before running this?
    Thanks again for all of your hlep.

  • I loaded Mac OS X v10.7 Lion yesterday. Everything's running fine, except for a simple problem. Any time I want to copy a file, JPEG, etc., I am prompted "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I don't want this!! Is there a way

    I loaded Mac OS X v10.7 Lion yesterday. Everything’s running fine, except for a simple problem. Any time I want to copy a file, JPEG, etc., I am prompted “Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.” I don’t want this!! Is there a way to unlock “Finder” or rid this process?

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

    Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
    When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
    1280x720
    frame rate of 23.976
    using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
    "embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
    When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
    I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    -Mike

    Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.

  • MOVED: Media Live : Problem with graphics card with vista Ultimate

    This topic has been moved to Vista problems.

    Thank you for replying. I had no idea I had a response. It is a Windows 7 Home Premium. The game is actually now a few different ones for my child, Baby Luv, Brave & Disney Princesses. None of them will work. I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 graphics card in this (Compaq Presario All-In-One Desktop PC) and I just posted another question in the forum about wanting to know if I can replace the grahics card with a HD card and if so how? I have looked online but can't find an answer. Is it possible to replace the card or with it being an all-in-one is it not possible? Thank you.

  • Ghosting effect - Is it a frame rate problem?

    I've just made a music video lyric video (I'm still really new to movie editing) and there's this ghosting effect. Does anyone know what may cause it? Is it a frame rate problem, or the frame blend thing?
    Here's the cliup on YouTube: (You can really see the ghosting when you watch it in HD.)
    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7 (32 bit)

    hmm, looks like you need to read a few things maybe...to understand some stuff.
    Here's some links I got from google for you
    NTSC
    Short for National Television System Committee. The NTSC is responsible for setting television and video standards in the United States (in Europe and the rest of the world, the dominant television standards are PAL and SECAM). The NTSC standard for television defines a composite video signal with a refresh rate of 60 half-frames (interlaced) per second. Each frame contains 525 lines and can contain 16 million different colors.
    The NTSC standard is incompatible with most computer video standards, which generally use RGB video signals
    ============
    info about aspect ratios... and better to scale down than up...or just stay the same as source.
    http://www.techsmith.com/tutorial-camtasia-understanding-dimensions-prior.html
    ================
    Soooo, you didnt export ntsc and it looks like you upscaled to 1080p but a different fps than original also.
    In gereral if you start at say 24fps and make it 30fps, your editor has to "make" new frames ( add 6 per second ) and it does that by creating new frames out of what you have on timeline. Sometimes a VBR 2 pass will give you better results than 1 pass, but you have to experiment a bit ( just export small section of timeline for tests...and try to use area where you see your "ghosting" ).
    good luck
