Need help with MC with links inside

Anyone can shine some light on trying to reproduce something
similar to this?
http://www.focus.ca/home.html
What I need is how to do one of those tabs that aniamtes down
and reveals links inside. I have been at this for days.
I am very new to flash and need more assistance on the
construction of this project.
So far, I know how to make a MC and animated it for
rollover/rollout, but the link inside won't work because the action
for the MC is interferring with the inside button actions. So, what
is my next step? I have my MC on one frame in the main timeline and
need to perform all animation inside that and add buttons also?
Would I put an Insible Button in their too?
I need help?

As example of a text based navbar like Roddy suggested can be seen here: Text Based Navbar. With it you can have complete control of the font (just use a Web Safe Font, color, rollover color and size. You can then copy and paste the text box to each page.

Need help with linked lists.

I have a school assignment to make a linked list with a linked list.
The first basic is to make a list of people, and link them together in a linked list. So far, so good.
The problem comes when I'm going to make linked lists in each of these objects that include the relationships between the people in it.
So If I have 10 peolpe in a list, person 1 might know person 3, 4 and 8. They will all know person 1 back of course. My problem is that it isn't just one group of friends, person 3 might not know person 4 and 8, but maybe he knows person 10. So all need "their own" list.
Therefor I can't see how I'm supposed to use linked lists for them, as I can't just link them togeter with e.g. "Person nextFriend;" The text says specifically to use linked lists. Well, I'm stuck.

I know it doesn't matter what the objects represent, I just needed a way to explain.
But a linked list is basically just a redirect to the next in the list, right?No, a linked list is a particular implementation of a list.
Then I can't see how it's possible to make individual friend lists.No clue what problem you're having.
People with links
null - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - nullThat means nothing.
I can't see how that can be used to make independent links. Do they mean that I'm support to stort it in arrays or something then?
The person list, is (as you can see in my "illustration") only a "next" and "previous" person, so I can't use that way to link the friends together. nextFriend and lastFriend obviously doesn't work.
That's my problemLike I said: A Person object contains a linked list. In that linked list you put references to that Person's friends.

Need help with links and fill color

Hi all, I just recently discovered liveCycle and am very impressed with it! I have been trying to make myself a homework calendar for a while now, and I have it done mostly, but there are a few more things I'd like to add that I don't know how to do.
I have some HTML and Java experience, but very little XML or JavaScript experience. I have a feeling that what I am trying to do is relatively simple, but I just can't figure it out! I have spent hours pouring over Google and the help files, and I feel like I have gotten close, but no joy yet.
I have attached my calendar so far (truncated to fit 5MB max attachment size). I'd like it to do two more things:
1. Have the background color of the table cells change from white to green when the check box is checked.
(Alternately, I'd really like to get rid of the check boxes all thogether and just have the background of the table cells turn green with a keyboard shortcut, like "ctrl + D" for 'done'. But if that isn't possible, then the color change with the check box is fine.)
2. I'd like the button called 'WORD DOC' in the upper right of the form to open a word document on my local computer. Where I just push that button and a work doc opens right up in Word in another window.
I was able to get .PDF documents to open up with those other two buttons there ('Big Java' and 'Beginning Java II') by adding the script
app.openDoc("Big Java.pdf");
and
app.openDoc("Beginning Java II.pdf");
to each of the buttons respectively, but those PDFs need to be in the same folder as the calendar for that to work. I tried just altering that script by replacing the name of the PDF file with the name of a Word doc file like this:
app.openDoc("test.docx");
but the button doesn’t work at all, it just does nothing.
So that’s what I am trying to do. I have spent hours messing around with anything I could think of to get this to work, but unfortunately I just don’t know the language well enough to get it to work.
I would really appreciate any advice on this at all. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Hi,
Thanks very much for your response! I was able to use the code to make the box turn green by adding that script to the 'click' event of textbox and changing the language from FormCalc to JavaScript. So what happened was that when I clicked in the textbox, the color turned green.
I couln't firgure out how to add it to the checkbox though. When I tried, it didn't do anything. The problem now is that when I click in the textbox to add my homework, it turns green. I need it to turn green once I finish my homework.
This would work great if the texbox turned green when I SHIFT clicked the box. Is there anything I could add to that scipt to do that?

Need Help with Linking Question

Not quite sure how to do this.
I have a gallery page of thumbnails that I want to reference
a different layout page for the individual image.
What I want to happen is, when you click the thumbnail on the
thumbnail gallery page, a new layout page opens in the same browser
window with that thumbnails larger image. I know how to link the
new .html page , or the larger image, But I don't know how to link
them both so they both open?
I have many images and pages of thumbnails that I have to do
this with.
Thanks for any help

> a new layout page opens in the same browser window
You want the new page to replace the current page in the
browser viewport?
> But I don't know how to link them both so they both
open?
I guess I don't understand what "both" is?

Need help with linking my new macbook pro with my printer

i have a new macbook pro and i am trying to link it to my also new Canon PIXMA MX882 printer. I went through installation and it said everything was complete, but when I go to choose a printer nothing shows up. I am a new mac user. please help!

It's not necessary to change your Apple ID often - maybe your password every six months or so, but not the email associated with the ID.
Have you contacted the Apple ID Support folks? You can reach them at -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.
Good luck,

Need help with "paste inside" feature, please!

Hello. I'm a former Freehand user who needs to know how to accomplish the "paste inside" task in Illustrator. I have a graphic which I want to show through only in the areas where the other graphic exists. I don't know how else to explain it. Help!

Hi JBinReno,
You may be referring to a clipping mask. Say I want this image of a city to be contained inside of this sheared rectangle.
Just select both the shape and the image and choose Object > Clipping Mask > Make.
To edit the image inside of the shape, simply double click on the graphic and you can edit "inside".
Is this the solution you're looking for?

Beginner needs help with subform inside of subform

I need to add a few different subforms depending upon the answers given in the form. The first level is phase. Then they answer the question does this phase have tasks? If yes then I want the tasks subform to appear. If no then I want then I want the working org subform to appear. After they answer then they have the option of adding another phase and starting the process again. I have the phase adding again, but cannot figure out to have addtional subforms in between the phases. Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The answer to this depends on how the content of the tasks and working org sections are organized. Since each phase entry is set up as a table that's in a row of a parent table, the only way to insert a section under the phase would be to add a row. You can add a row for tasks and a row for working org after the phase row, so that every time you insert a phase you'll get both. Set them both to hidden, and unhide the appropriate row based on the answer to the "tasks" question. The only issue is that if your task and working org info is complex it'll be tricky to format all of the info as a table row. This can be done by making your row one cell wide (full width of the row) and setting that cell content to a subform, then adding all of your info into the subform. However if there's a lot of data then the row constraint may be an problem.
The other method would be to convert the phase section to a subform, then have three child subforms inside: phase, tasks and working org. The idea is the same as what you're doing now, but you're using subforms rather than table rows. You can add instances of subforms the same way that you add instances of table rows.
I wired up your example using rows; see the attached form.

Acrobat X Pro- Need Help with Linking and creating a flyout window in PDF

I'm trying to create a flyout window in a PDF document (Have Acrobat X-Pro) I'm not a programmer or graphics designer. Almost like a flyout or callout in a Powerpoint presentation.
Basically I want to create multiple icon/s on the base PDF page drawing and have several links to other pictures or items that when opened, wouldn't take up the whole screen and can then be closed so you'd only be looking at the base PDF page.
I've tried using the link tool, but only seems to let me create a small rectangle box, click on it and have a new pdf or other file window open up. This is ok, but not really what I need it to do. I want this new window (or even a flyout) to be smaller so it doesn't cover the original base PDF layer and still be able to be closed.
- Anyone have directions on how to do that in a pdf?
- Also, is there a way to create a custom link icon instead of that lame rectangle in the link tool?

Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
// Get the icon from the b3 button
var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
// Get reference to the b0 button
var f = getField("b0");
// Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
// Show the b0 button
f.display = display.visible;
This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

Need help with Link passed from XML

This is to create a flash driven navigation menu. What I have
is a coldfusion page that serves a simple XML formatted page. There
are 3 XML components, linkLabel, linkURL and linkType. The label
just passes text, the type is just a number 0-9 that is used to
determine the style of the button. The linkURL that is passed from
coldfusion comes across encoded for XML, so what I end up with is
url's that replace "&" with ";amp;".
So my question is this, is there an easy way in the
actionscript to replace the ";amp;" with "&"? Other than that
little problem, the rest of the script runs just fine, I just can't
seem to find the syntax I'm looking for to replace items in a
string. I saw the code for replacesel() but this doesn't seem to do
it, unless i'm writing it wrong.

Just in case you want something similar in future:
string = string.split("&").join("&");
is an easy way to replace something in a string (here
'&' gets replaced with '&').

Need help with QS inside pictures

I've got my G4 back after lend it to a friend. Looks like some one went through it. There is something missing on the bottom part, the wires are hanging loose. I have misplace the book that came with it. There are some pics I've found on line but don't show the lower (where the fan is) part of interior. If some one have a G4 1ghz DP QS and have the booklet, can you please either e-mail me the pages that show the interior or snap a digital and e-mail it to me at [email protected]
Greatly appriciated.
Yhai

Hi, Yhai -
It is normal for there to be a few loose wires (meaning wires with unconnected connectors) in a QS model.
G4s usually come pre-equipped to accept a second internal drive, including having unused connectors (on the data cable and power bus) available in the vicinity of where the second drive would mount.
There may be even more connectors available, for example, if the previous owner added a PCI card so he/she could have a couple of additional internal drives, then removed those drives but left the card and its cable(s) in the machine.

Need help with linking a word to a different slide.

I have made a table of contents on this document clickable (linking a word to a different slide in the presentation) So you can click on any of the words and it will take you to that page. The problem is when I open the document it is at the correct magnification - say 75% for easy reading. But when you click on a word in the table of the contents to take you to a different page - it changes the magnification to a smaller size (53% or 63%)
I need to know if we can keep it from doing that.
So we can have every page no matter what you click on easily read and viewed without having to change the magnification every time.

Hiya
Yeah one below.. What you will see is the photoshop file, then the null layer followed by the original footage. In effect I need the photoshop image to track the movement of the camera as when I currently play the video, when the camera moves it looks as though a chunk of grass (the mask) is moving different from the rest of the scene.

Need help with link colors.....

New assignment at school (our 4th project).
Our teacher has given us a preformatted .html document that we
are not allowed to touch at all.
Having a hard time grasping working this way......
How do I change the color of the link in the top header
without changing the color of the other links?
How do I line the four paragraph divs up across my page
horizontally (left to right)?
http://student.ccbcmd.edu/~rsmit459/a_study_in_css/index.html

The div that the "Select a Design" and it's links are in is
called "#styles".
I put this code into my .css file and it did nothing:
.styles a:link {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: underline;}
.styles a:visited {
color: #999999;
text-decoration: underline;}
.styles a:hover {
color: #FF0000;

What am I doing wrong?

Need help with swf inside swf

Hello. The last few weeks I have come along way in flash,
being new to the whole software. I have watched numerous video
tutorials, one from www.entheosweb.com about creating a simple
gallery.
http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/video_tutorials/basic_slideshow.asp
So after this, he saves as fla. I want it to be a movie I
embed on my flash website, labeled gallery. I have tried different
ways to do this, import to library. I exported my gallery as an SWF
movie, AND of course, FLA so I can go back and tweak as needed.
When I import the SWF to the library, so I can place it in
the gallery frame of my master movie, it brings in ALL the pictures
and next and prev buttons. It brings in all the frames into the
library, AND the SWF file. When I convert the swf to a movie clip,
and stick it in the page, its there in my gallery page, but its
playing REALLY fast, and all the action script I wrote for this
gallery has gone away. The prev and next buttons don't work. What
am I doing wrong?
I have read where I have to use file>open to library and
import the .FLA, but thats like 17 frames, and not a flattened
movie. What do I do then?
Thanks, I'm SOOOO ready to cry or punch my monitor.

You need to use loadMovie();
Do some searches in the forum for that...
