Newbie having trouble with keyframes

I'm a newbie to Flash, and have just started going through
the online tutorial here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/intro_flash_pt2_04.html
This is the problem I'm having: In the section "Creating a
frame-by-frame animation", when I have created the symbols, and
want to edit them, the Properties Inspector shows that the images
are bitmaps, not movie clips. Why is this? Shouldn't they have
become movie clips when I created the symbols, renamed them, and
saved them as movie clips? Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Did you have the bitmaps selected and chose "Modify - Convert
to Symbol" (F8) when you "created the symbols"?
Or did you select "Insert - New Symbol" (Ctrl-F8)? This would
of course have created empty movieClips and left your bitmaps
untouched.

  • Newbie having trouble with opt/rep regions

    Hi everyone. I'm migrating my site from simple, square html
    to nice, elegant css. I've done most of the work, but I'm having
    some trouble with templates. Here's an example of how a page
    created with a template will (hopefully) look:
    http://www.technfun.com/temp/example.html
    I've succeeded in making the article region (inside the white
    frame) editable, but I can't figure out how to handle the side bar
    menu. It's supposed to contain links to the chapters and
    subchapters of the main article, so that clicking there will bring
    you to the right place in the page (a simple # link, in other
    words). However, the article writer (me) needs to be able to add as
    many "SidebarLarge" entries as necessary. Under each of those there
    may or may not be the need to add "SidebarSmall" entries for
    subchapters.
    I read the help file and figured out I need to do something
    with the optional and repeating region settings, but whenever I try
    I only ever manage to make a mess of the sidebar. Anyone can tell
    me how exactly I'm supposed to do this?
    Thanks :)

    Why not just make the whole sidebar an editable region
    instead? Then you
    can add as much stuff as you see fit.

  • Newbie having trouble with template highlight (button)

    Stupid question I'm sure, but for the life of me I can't figure it out:
    When using a template, if I change anything at all about the TYPE related to a button, or the size of the button/text group, the corresponding HIGHLIGHT gets freaky. I can't for the life of me figure out how to control where that highlight appears, or even it's size, etc. So I have these beautiful DVD menus that are marred by weird highlight bars--some of them run across two buttons.
    (Yes, I figured out how to make the highlights invisible, but that defeats the whole point of course.)
    Hope my question wasn't confusing. Any help would be wildly appreciated. Thanks...

    Okay, let me pose a theory: Is it possible my installation is having trouble, in other words is what I'm seeing NOT normal?
    Can anyone verify (it would only take a few minutes) my findings? Here are the steps: Create a brand-new project using (just to make sure we're on the same page) the Apple template called "Wedding Classical Index." Next, resize any one of the main elements (labeled "button 1," etc.). OR, change the text to two words, or modify the text size/font. When finished, hit the Simulate button and mouse over the button you modified.
    Does the highlight look normal, e.g., underneath the text, etc., or has it moved to the side of the text, or changed into a vertical line, or worse?
    I just want to verify that my installation isn't being screwy. Thanks to the kind soul who takes a minute to help me out with this so I can move on...

  • Newbie having trouble with searching for apps.

    I'm an experienced an experienced Windows user, finding myself surprisingly lost on my new iPad and iTunes.
    (Surpising because, although I'm used to dealing with oddball and sometimes frustrating things on Windows,  I had heard the Mac and iPad interface fast simpler to navigate and more frustration free.)
    So please excuse what may seem like dumb newbie questions about what should be, and probably are to you experienced iTunes and iPad users, simple things:
    For starters:
    I'm search for a few apps in the app store that I know for sure exist and know the exact names:
    One is the
    iPad User Guide
    The other is
    the AOPA flight planner app.
    I know it exists because it's installed on my wife's iPad. Can't remember how I found it on her iPad.
    When I use the apps store search box (whether I do it in the app store in the iPad or in iTunes on my Windows 7 computer)
    I keep failing to find them.
    I've tried putting
                           iPad user guide
                            AOPA flight planner
      or even just                AOPA
    in the search box in both environments and clicking the search (magnifying glass) icon.
    I either get a mess of apps with  AOPA in the name (but not the one I want)
    or a message saying the equivalent of "sorry... not found." 
    What the heck am I doing wrong?
    All help appreciated.
    Alex

    You are not doing anything wrong. Those apps just do not appear to be available any more.
    They will always be available to your wife since she downloaded them and they are backed up in her iTunes Library (assuming she synced it with iTunes since downloading them) but it would appear that anyone else trying to find them will be unsuccessful.
    These are not dumb questions nor are they trivial concerns. The whole digital distribution method has many advantages, but you just ran into one of its drawbacks.
    "Ownership" of software was always a controversial subject, but the way things are going the argument will soon be a moot point... unfortunately.

  • Brand-newbie having trouble with "paste into"

    I am teaching myself InDesign using tutorials and just tried to use the "paste into" function unsuccessfully.  I have a document with a picture of a dog (a black silhouette) and a picture of a polkadot pattern.  I selected and then cut the pattern one, selected the dog, and went to try "paste into" but the option was not available.  I rewatched the tutorial and it's exactly what was shown (there was a picture with a pattern that was then pasted into a black airplane photo).  Any idea why I wasn't able to do it?  Thanks.

    This is the video tutorial I watched, if anyone has a minute to check out the part I'm trying to replicate.  It is at 7:40.  I guess I need to know how the instructor got the "picture" of the plane there in the first place so I can do the same with my dog silhouette.  I downloaded an image of a dog and did Command D to drop it in.  Forgive me if I'm using the wrong terminology...

  • Newbie Having Trouble with MaxDate

    First let me say that I am pretty new to writing code, so I apologize if I don't use the correct terminology. Now to my issue. I'm trying to write a query that will return several date fields. The problem is that there can be several instances for each primary key, so I want to see the Max Date of each instance. I've googled and googled, but I don't seem to be finding the right answer. Additionally, I have a couple of fields in particular that raise an issue. I have instances where a primary key is showing up multiple times because the Template field can have multiple entries. I can't seem to figure out how to write the code that only pulls in the Template value of A in the event an A and C are present.
    Output
    P_Key Template Template_Removed_Date
    1 A
    1 C 10/23/11
    2 C 08/15/11
    2 C 04/12/10
    2 C 12/05/09
    Desired Output
    P_Key Template Template_Removed_Date
    1 A
    2 C 08/15/11
    Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated!!
    Also, if there is any online training that would be of assistance to my cultivation in PL/SQL, please let me know.
    Cheers!

    This doesn't have anything to do with Oracle Designer. You should ask this in the SQL forum.
    Anyway, your design is wrong:
    The problem is that there can be several instances for each primary keyThat is NOT possible. A primary key is a unique value. It is impossible, if you create the PK properly, to have more than one instance. So, you probably mean something else, but ask this in the SQL forum.

  • Newbie having trouble with iCloud

    Hello-
    I was at the Verizon Store today for 3 hours trying to learn the basic of the iPhone 5. There is a lot for me to learn, but one day at a time. For some reason I was able to use my iTune sign-in info for an App that required it and I can sign into apple.com/support and apple.com to get to the forums, but when I try to sign into icloud it keeps telling me that "Verify Your Account" This apple IDs email address cannot be verified. Change your Apple ID's email address at appleid.apple.com to sign in to iCloud."
    If I change my iCloud email address will this mess up me being able to sign into iTunes and the other places I use my Apple ID?
    Is the Apple ID the same as the iCloud sign-in information? It says under iCloud. Apple ID and Password. I have tried it literally 30 times and it still will not sign me in.
    should I change my Apple ID or does anybody know what the hang-up could be? Occasionally I have had an issue signing in to apple.com/support where it has said you cannot use an email address, but I click sign in again and it signs me in. I have had the same apple ID and password for years with no issues really until I got this iPhone and tried to sign into iCloud.

    I never had this problem.  I went to the apple support page for setting up icloud and it said to use the same info you use to sign into itunes.  I realized that one had my email address as minus the @gmail.com and one had it added at the end. I just added it to the one that did not have it, clicked slect and agreed to the terms and I got an email saying Welcome to the icloud.  then i used what I had already put in the iPhone 30 times and this time it accepted it.  therre were so many people at the Verizon store trying to figure this out.
    It asked me now if I want my contacts and all to go the the Cloud? I selected Yes, was that the right thing to do?
    So what does this allow me to do now because it obviously did not affect me getting into iTunes or the App Store like the support article said it should.  the article said it is BEST to have the same Apple ID for iTunes, Icloud, etc.
    It is now saying 5 GB Free and under that payment information.  Does sending the stuff I clicked Yes to cost?

  • Newbie having trouble with M-Audio Interface

    I'm probably overlooking something obvious, but I cannot get my M-Audio FireWire 1814 to be recognized by my Mac, I've reinstalled the software multiple times and still it tells me that there is no device. (I've been careful not to hot-plug the FireWire connection). Here's my setup: IMac, (running OS X.4.8), Logic Express, M-Audio FireWire 1814, and Korg Trition Studio. I'd appreciate any help.
    -Crog
    IMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    i don't think that is what the org poster meant. i think they were meaning that he hasn't blown his firewire connection, and that he is letting the m-audio driver load at startup.
    i don't think that it had anything to do with m-audio being hot plugable.

  • Newbie- having troubles with background color when opening new document

    Hey everyone and thanks for the help in advance. New to the forums and haven't been able to find the answer online. Whenever I open Photoshop (using Adobe Creative Cloud) I set my size, my background to white, etc. The document always opens looking like this: http://screencast.com/t/BzCYc4akl
    Almost like it's transparent but I don't have that selected. Can anyone help here? Thanks!

    Hi,
    It looks like the Grids are enabled.
    If in photoshop you go to View>Show and click on the word Grid, does that make a difference?

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

    I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
    When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
    I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
    I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
    thanks

  • I am having trouble with my Mac Mini's ethernet connection.   Defining a new network interface shows no ethernet adaptor.  Reloading SL from DVD repaired.  But SL update lost ethernet again.  Will Lion Fix?

    I am having trouble with my mac mini ethernet.  It had been working for weeks after an update to SL 10.6.8.
    Once it went out and i repaired it by defining a new connection from System Preferences ->Network->(left panel service, +).
    But yesterday, after a power up.  my ethernet was not working again. I tried this old trick to repair it, but the interface choices
    listed for '+' a new service did not include Ethernet any more.  And the Utilities->System Profiler->Ethernet Cards shows
    no ethernet available.
    As a last ditch effort i reloaded my original SL from DVD.  (I think it was version 10.6.4 but i could be mistaken on the version).
    The ethernet worked!  But KeyNote wasn't going to work because apparently the version i purchased depends on 10.6.8.
    So I upgraded again to SL 10.6.8 (Plus some other updates like AirPort which i don't use).
    Now the Ethernet is not working again.  I see the same symptoms as before with the Ethernet seeming not installed.
    Is this a problem seen by others?
    Would going to Lion fix the problem?
    Could AirPort actually be the culprit and not SL?
    If i stay with my original SL, would i need to repurchase a version of KeyNote for the older version of SL?

    Have you reset the SMC?
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.

  • I am having trouble with some of my links having images. For example, Foxfire has a picture that looks like a small world. The links in question are blank.

    I am having trouble with my links/websites having images attached to them. The place where the image should be is blank. For example, AARP has an A for its image. My storage website has a blank broken box where the image should be. I forgot I had trouble and had to reset Foxfire, this problem occurred after that reset.

    cor-el,
    Mixed content normally gives the world globe image, unless you are using a theme that uses a broken padlock instead. Maybe the gray triangle means invalid? I came across that in a few themes (what is invalid was not made clear), but those were not using triangle shapes to indicate that.
    I came across that mention in one of the pages you posted:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Site+Identity+Button
    I cannot attach a screenshot because I have not seen a triangle of any kind in my address bar.

  • I have an Ipod Touch (4th Gen) and I am having troubles with my downloads from purchasing music from the Ipod. On my downloads icon in the Itunes Store (on Ipod) there is a symbol of how many songs I still have waiting to download, but they wont download.
