Need help with installing Yahoo style flash menu CS5

I downloaded the Yahoo style menu bar from the the available widgets.  I got the menu bar to show in Dreamweaver, but need help:
I have trouble understanding how to use the f-source  flash editor to edit the links.
I don't seem to be able to drop the  f-source.com button from the menu bar.
The bar  shows up as a tiny bar in IE8, not as I had programmed it in the widget programmer.
I was instructed to Insert ==> f-source menus ==> Edit menu in Dreamweaver.  Doing this leads to the following message: "Install at least one f-source menu'.  I did install the f-source-UI G file in the Adobe Extension Manager CS5.  What else needs to be installed?  
My OS is Windows7 and I am working with Dreamweaver CS5.  Please help.
Thanks,
Tony Uythoven

Flash menus (Flash navigation, period) is a terrible thing from a functional standpoint. It looks really nice, but the honeymoon ends there. As far as SEO goes, your entire site, beyond the landing page, is invisible. A search robot will only see an embeded Flash object.
You have to ask yourself a basic question.
1. What is the purpose of building a website and putting it online?
If it's for your own personal enjoyment and nothing more, then a Flash menu may be for you. If it's for a business or band, or a political group or social group, and you want people to be able to find it in Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. then you want as many indexible links as possible on your landing page so they will show up in related searches like schedules, articles, galleries, etc.

    Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error:  Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."  After entering Adobe password, nothing happens.  Locked from further installation.  Any ideas?  Adobe phone support could not help.

    Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

  • Need help with Installing Canon LBP 2900B on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8

    I know this is going to sound silly, but really need help with this, URGENTLY!!!
    Bought a Canon LBP2900B printer more than a year ago, and was using it on my MacBook Pro with OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.8) very well. My hard disk recently crashed and now I cannot reinstall the printer, nor can I find the driver for it anywhere for the Mac.
    Have searched all the forums and followed all discussion threads on the Apple Communities as well, but none of the solutions seem to work. Even went back to @Dexter's solution with trying to download the file from the link http://boolet.free.fr/CAPT.zip (this is what I had done when I bought the printer, and it worked perfectly) but the link doesn't exist anymore.
    Extremely grateful if anyone can put up a solution to this, or alternatively, IF ANYONE HAS THE OLD CAPT.ZIP FILE AND CAN UPLOAD IT.
    Thanks in advance. Look forward to your solutions.
    Cheers

    Depends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
    Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
    In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
    Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
    Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.

  • Need help with a Spreadsheet style app

    I was just wanting some help in working with developing an app for my iphone... i had previous experience in microsoft visual basic but i don't quite understand this code....
    I am in flight school and trying to develop an app that reflects the weight an balance forms we do... I am stuck on how to do basic multiplication and division with xcode, i have viewed several videos and tutorials but they each do things differently and i can't seem to bring it together into this app.
    So in the picture below.... what i need help with is how to do the following
    from
    aircraft weight * arm = Moment outbound
    front seats * arm = Moment outbound
    to fuel @ landing
    "0" fuel weight = aircraft weight + front seats + rear seats+ Baggage 1 + baggage 2
    If anyone has any ideas or can lend me some tip or places that deal with stuff like this that would be great

    A character class [...] robs some otherwise special codes from their magic. The +, for instance, is interpreted as a plus, not as "repeat ad nauseum" anymore.
    So your try [\d+] will simply match either a single digit or a single plus. The solution is to move the + outside of the character class
    [\d]+
    .. and in that case there is no reason anymore to create a class for just digits, as you got it already.
    The period *needs* to  be escaped, because otherwise it will match *any* character.
    Try this for a change:
    \d+\.\d+

  • Need help with Installing Flash 9

    First off, let me apologize if this is in the wrong forum, I couldn't really find a forum for my specific need.
    I was running Flash 8 just fine, but then a video requested that I update to Flash 9, because that's the only way the video would play.
    So I tried installing the PPC version, and right at the last file it needs to finish installing a window pops up saying "ERROR CREATING FILE, 1008:5,-5000 Access denied error."
    Now all flash files won't work on my browser.

    Did you enable "root user" according to "Mac Help" or did you set up a new user in the system preferences? If you did it according to Mac Help, then Flash should have been installed correctly. Did you try the other option first? That option, if it worked, would have installed Flash into the current user. How many different users do you have?
    Post back if you still need help, maybe someone else will pick up on this that is better than I am about such problems.
    Sorry that I haven't been much help.

  • Need Help with DW 5.5 spry menu bars.

    I was given an unopened/registered Creative Suite 5.5 a couple days ago so I installed it and got to work on a website for my upcoming business. I got the home page finished, and so i saved it as a template to use for the remaining pages. But as soon as I click "save" my horizontal Spry Menu Bar becomes vertical at the top of my page. If i click on the Spryhorizontalmenu.css a message appears at the top of the screen that says something along the lines of "spryhorizontalmenu.css is not stored on local disk Get" but it will not let me access the link for help and I have been stumped for days. This is my first webpage and any help for this newbee would be very much appreciated.if you have questions please ask!!!

    If horizontal is turning vertical, I have a feeling what is happening is that when you publish it, it's not connected to any style sheet -- or you have the style sheets in the wrong order.
    Remember, with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) the last stylesheet trumps the earlier one. That's perfectly OK if there are no conflicts, but there may be some that can cause problems.
    Thus, you'd be looking for:
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    <link href="navigation.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    If navigation.css is first, styles.css may be rewriting your styles for your spry navigation.
    Now, I'm going to throw you a curve. Spry has been discontinued and it "going away." I recommend you learn how to make your own navigation and Spry is usually used for drop-down navigation. You can do that in straight HTML and CSS.
    Take a look at my last reply in this forum discussion for a bunch of pretty cool "do it yourself" navigation tutorials.

  • Need help with my Yahoo Email

    I just purchased a new Desktop this year and am having difficulties with my Yahoo email.
    After writing a new email, when I go to put the person's email address in, previously I could just type a couple of letters from their email address and it would automatically input different address's.
    Now after writing an email, nothing comes up. I have to actually save my email as a draft, go find the email address and copy/paste it into the new email.
    When I click on about my computer, I know it says my system is a 10.8.3
    Can anyone help me to solve my problem?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select

  • Need help with installing drivers

    I recently installed Windows 7 Professional and have been having trouble with installing the drivers necessary for sound, USB, graphics, etc. I have the Windows drivers on an external drive, but the OS won't recognize an external drive because it needs the drivers to do so. My Macbook came with OS X 10.6 installed, but I have since upgraded to 10.7 through the App Store. I believe I can use my 10.6 factory DVD to install drivers on the Windows side, but if I have 10.7 installed, will it work right? I'm confused

    IME driver is one of the very most important. TPM is only needed if you plan on using it. If you don't know what it is, then probably don't need it.
    Quote
    Please tell me in detail what drivers do what functions and which ones need to install ?
    Most of them are pretty self explanatory. Unless you set the SATA controller to AHCI mode when the OS was installed, RST isn't going to do much.
    Like Henry said. Everything is on the install disc that came with the mainboard you need, including the ones you don't need. It's even got a 'total install' selection. 

  • Need help with installing old version of firmware

    I would like to revert to an old version of firmware for my Airport Extreme base station. I have read in a number of postings that this would possibly help with the problem of my Canon Pixma ip3000 not working after the firmware was usdated. When I tried to install the old firmware, the Installer would not allow it, there was just a message that the software was up to date. Could anyone please give a step by step description of how this can be done? Is there a way around the Installer? Thanks.

    The firmware supplied with the base station was 4.1. After installing it, everything worked just fine, including wireless printing to a Canon Pixma ip3000. At one point, after being prompted by a message onscreen to upgrade to 4.2, I did the download and installation, and that is when all the problems started. No wireless printing, and I can't seem to use the Airport Admin or Assistant (not responding). Since then I have also upgraded the OS to 10.4.5.
    I am trying to downgrade to 4.1 since that is what worked initially and what was suggested in another posting I read.
    I did look at the information for the various parts of Airport and noticed that the Setup Asistant is 4.2, the Admin Utility is 4.2 and the base station is 5.5.1. Could this be affecting the problem as well?
    I will try downgrading using the link you provided. Thanks very much.

    I am trying to install the flash player and as the download progresses it asks me to close internet explorer to continue.  I close internet explorer and press the continue button and it repeats the request to close internet explorer.  I have completely closed out of everything except the installing process and it still won't continue the download, it wants me to close out of internet explorer and I have already done that!  Can anyone help me with this???  I am so frustrated.  I am not an advanced computer user, but I have followed all the instructions for this procedure and end up with the same result... close internet explorer.  I would appreciate assistance so much!

    You need to close all iexplore.exe instances; use the Task Manager's Processes tab.
