Myflash.swf?button=2 - What Does it Mean?

I've recent purchased a template and found the following in
my pages and am confused as to why they would have this in html
code to bring up the swf file:
myflash.swf?button=2
Can someone explain what this means? Thanks

Sure thing. That's one of the ways to pass a variable (or
several
variables) into a SWF from the outside (such as from an HTML
document). The
question mark effectively says, "Hey, SWF, there's some extra
information
coming," and the rest means that a variable will be created
in the main
timeline. It will be accessible by the name "button" (no
quotes) and its
value will be "2" (this time, the quotes count, because even
though it looks
like a number, variables passed into Flash this way are
always strings). To
pass more than one name/value pair, it looks like this:
myflash.swf?button=2&drink=milk&eat=salmon
... and so on. Look around online, and you'll find references
to something
called FlashVars, which is practically the same thing -- just
an alternate
way to pass variables into Flash from the outside.

    Ana Candano, what is your Aperture version? Earlier Aperture versions - until Aperture 3.2.4 had colored icons, Aperture 3.3 and later are gray in gray. Do you have two versions of Aperture installed?
    When you post back, list your version of MacOS X and the versions of any Aperture.app you can find with Spotlight on your Mac.
    Frank, the thread you pointed to, was a different question, but probably is related. It would be good to know how it has been resolved.

  • My Power Mac G4 booted from an OS 9.1 install CD, and then froze up.  Now I turn the machine on, beeps 3 times, power button blinks 3 times.  What does this mean?

    I tried to install Mac OS 9.1.  I turned the computer on, heard the bong noise (although with some static), and inserted the OS 9.1 installation CD.  It started to boot, but froze up.  I rebooted the machine, and the same thing happened.  One more reboot, and i get 3 beeps and the power button is blinking.  What does this mean?

    Hi, it indicates a RAM problem, (or Logic Board around the RAM).
    The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted).
    If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.
    1 beep  = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

  • What does this mean? I cloud button said-.

    What does this mean? When i click on i-cloud button on the top of window, it said: I-cloud automatically shows all the open tabs on the other device.
    Thank.

    Hi Susan,
    I am afraid not.
    I have the same iCloud ID on both the Mac and the iPhone.
    I have the Safari item enabled in iCloud on both.
    The cloud button does not work on the Mac and has only once worked on the iPhone.
    Currently I can see neither device's open tabs one the other.
    EDIT !!!!
    Found it.
    In that first pic (above but today's date) is a Private button.
    It needs disabling for the Mac to "see" the iPhone's tabs
    THEN the use the Double Squares and flick up the tabs which will then reveal the linked Computer (or other Device I presume
    Example on Mac.
    The Privacy button is not mentioned in the Link and it was only chance that I pressed it to see what it did.

    Is the hold switch in the on position?  Try resetting the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  The iPod may have simply locked up.

  • So I have an iPad with the smart cover, and it's usually supposed to turn on the iPad when u open it, but it's no doing that for me. Nor is it turning off without pressing the button. What is the meaning of this?

    So I have an iPad with the smart cover, and it's usually supposed to turn on and off the iPad when u open it and close it, but it's not turning on for me. Nor is it turning off without pressing the button. What is the meaning of this?what caused it to be this way? Is there someway that I could fix it?

    Wait a sec did this just start?
    You set up the smart cover function in settings (you did that, right?) so, if you did that and it's failed you make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar now.

  • TS1424 When I click to play my songs in the library they will not play and show a circle with an exclamation point in the middle of it, what does that mean and how can I get them to play?

    When I click to pay my songs in the library they will not play and it shows a circle with an exclamation point within it. What does that mean, how do I fix it, and how will it play my songs again? They used to play before on my Iphone4 with no problem, but since I upgraded to the Iphone4s there is an issue.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

  • Error message saying this device cannot be used because Apple mobile device service is not started.  What does this mean and how do I start service....had these devices for over a year now??

    When I tried to sync my iphone 4 and ipad in iturnes, an error message popped up saying this device cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started!  What does that mean and how do I start service?  I've had these devices for over a year and update and sync regularly and have never seen this message before!

    I got that message yesterday. I'm new at this so don't know if this is the correct solution but it worked for me. I reset my iPod by holding the 2 buttons down until the apple appears AND I restarted my computer. After that everything worked.

  • I just bought a Mac today and have never had one, my Itunes shows to have all of my music on it but it won't allow me to play it out loud, it says my computer is not authorized? what does this mean?

    I'm a first time Mac user and I went to play my music on Itunes out loud and all the music I previously purchased will not play and then a pop up appears saying my computer is not authorized? what does this mean and how can I fix it?

    You need to authorize the new computer that youre working with. First hover over the store button at the top of the screen and then select the authorize this computer button then a popup will appear where you have to put in your Apple ID and Password. Hopefully this works for you

  • Images have ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail  what does this mean and how do I remove it?

    Q - My images have a
    ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?
    A - The
    ? symbol is used to identify a file that Lightroom can no longer access; probably because it has been moved using OS drag/drop or Move command rather than Lightroom.
    Click the
    ? symbol will cause a small dialog will appear. This dialog will provide information as to where the file was originally located along with an option to find (Locate) it again.
    As you'll quickly realise, clicking the
    ? symbol is fine for finding individual files that may have been relocated, but not for large numbers. There must be a better way
    Look at the Folder panel (left side of Library module) and you should find that the folder/subfolder containing the files that Lightroom can no longer find are shown in Red text. It is the red text that Lightroom uses to help you identify a folder/subfolder that contains files that it has lost track off.
    On the Mac you should
    Ctrl-click (right-click when using two button mouse) the folder/subfolder, a pop-up menu will appear. From the pop-up menu choose the command
    Locate Missing Folder, a dialog should appear. The dialog gives you access to every hard disk connected to your computer or CD/DVDs if they're in the tray. Use this dialog to navigate to the location where the folder is now located, then select this folder (not the files). Finally, press the
    Choose button and allow Lightroom to do its stuff.
    The method described above also applies to the PC version although the dialog is called
    Browse for Folder and the
    Choose button is replaced by
    OK.
    You can avoid getting into a situation were Lightroom looses track of your folders/subfolders by using a variation of above.
    A tutorial demonstrating above can be found

  • What does it mean when your whole i phone screen turns green

    What does it mean when your whole iphone 5 screen turns green

    It means that you jailbroke your iPhone with redsn0w. There are several known methods to fixing this issue:
    1. Plug it into your computer and restore
    2. Plug it into your computer, then hold the power button for about 6 seconds
    3. Hold the power button and the home button to restart it. As soon as it turns on, plug it into your computer and wait
    4. Time. Sometimes it fixes itself over time.
    I would suggest refraining from jailbreaking your device next time. I know it tempting to do so, but if you want to root your phone or play with emulators, I would suggest an android device. Btw, iOS 7 looks promising for the Apple community. Keep your ears peeled this week during WWDC.
