Newbie Needs Help:Hide/Show Object

Hi
I am brand new to using Flash and need some help to set up
and script a very basic movie:
it would have 2 white circles at opposite sides of the screen
that would alternately show and hide,one then the other, every .5
seconds, for 30 seconds, then stop.
I have tried every way I can figure out (plus read in
tutorials) and can not get this to work.
Being so new to Flash, it would be very helpful if someone
could provide a step-by-step walk-through. This will help me learn
as well as be able to create this animation.
Kind Regards,
saratogacoach

Sara,
I think I understand your dilema correctly. Just to clarify,
you want these dots to appear and reappear on their own, not with a
push of a button or an action of any kind, correct? Assuming so,
here's what you need to do.
1. Draw the cirles on your stage.
2. Turn the cirles into movie clip symbols (select the
cirlce, hit F8 and choose movie clip and name it).
3. Once the object is a movie clip double click on the circle
to enter the movie timeline.
4. Here you will see a blank timeline with your circle in it.
Now apply a keyframe at the points you want it to appear and
disappear. Alternate deleting the cirlce and pasting the cirle to
simulate the dissappear and reappear animation. Once you've done
this enough to cover 30 seconds worth apply a new layer called
actions. at the final keyframe on the actions layer pull up the
actions menu and apply a stop tag.
Now the movie will start and play for the duration of the
animation and stop at the end.
Let me know if this all makes sense and if you need further
clarifications.
Good Luck!

Newbie - Need help for making object selections in InDesign CS2

I am an old PageMaker user and am having difficulty getting indd to make multiple object selections. Is there someone out there who would be willing to do a private discussion so that I can make progress? So far, I have been unable to select multiple objects to copy or move. I do not understand how indd works.
Thanks for any assistance

There are basically two ways to select multiple objects, as explained above. Either "marquee" using the selection tool (black arrow) by holding down the mouse button as you drag throught them (same as Pagemaker, except everything you touch will be selected rather than having to completely surround it), or to hold Shift as you click multiple objects, also the same as Pagemaker.
If this isn't working for you, there may be something else happening. First, are you using the Selection tool? The white arrow is the Direct Selection tool which is used to select the content of a frame, the frame path for editing, or any node on any other path for editing. The only time the Direct Select tool will select an entire object is if it is part of a group.
Next, is the object locked in some way? Pehaps the entire layer is locked, or the object is locked individually. I find it easiest to identify locked objects by opeing the Layers panel in CS5 or CS5.5, it's less easy in earlier versions which don't have the expanded Illustrator-style layers panel. In earlier versions, though, you should be able to select an individually locked object, but not one on a locked layer, though you will not be able to move it. In CS5/5.5 there is a preference for whether you can select locked objects, and it is off by default, which in my opinion is a poor choice if you work with legacy files or templates where things are locked to prevent shifting.
Perhaps these unselectable objects are on a master page. Since CS4 objects on a master page have displayed a dotted edge when frame edges are showing. It's possiple to confuse this with the slightly heavier dashed line used to denote the bounding box of a group until you get used to it. Unlike Pagemaker, if you need to select a master object, it can be overridden onto the document page by holding Cmd (Ctrl) + Shift and clciking on it.
The last possibility is there is actually something wrong with your installation of ID. If you run Windows 7 or Vista it could be a problem with large fonts (see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403039.html). Otherwise it's most likely corrupt preferences and you should read Replace Your Preferences
It would help us help you if you tell us your OS and the version of ID you are using.

Need help for finding objects impacted by size change for an infoobject

hi all,
need help for finding objects impacted by size change
for xxx infoobject, due to some requirements, the size to be changed from
char(4) to char(10), in the source database tables as well as adjustment
to be done in BI side.
this infoobject xxx is nav attribute of YYY as well as for WWW
infoobjects. and xxx is loaded from infopkg for www infoobject load.
now that i have to prepare an impact analysis doc for BI side.
pls help me with what all could be impacted and what to be done as a
solution to implement the size change.
FYI:
where used list for xxx infoobject - relveals these object types :
infocubes,
infosources,
tranfer rules,
DSO.
attribute of characteristic,
nav attribute,
ref infoobject,
in queries,
in variables

Hi Swetha,
You will have to manually make the table adjustments in all the systems using SE14 trans since the changes done using SE14 cannot be collected in any TR.
How to adjust tables :
Enter the table name in SE14. For ex for any Z master data(Say ZABCD), master data table name would be /BIC/PZABCD, text table would be /BIC/TZABCD. Similarly any DSO(say ZXYZ) table name would be /BIC/AZXYZ00 etc.
Just enter the table name in SE14 trans --> Edit --> Select the radio button "Save Data" --> Click on Activate & adjust database table.
NOTE : Be very careful in using SE14 trans since there is possibility that the backend table could be deleted.
How to collect the changes in TR:
You can collect only the changes made to the IO --> When you activate, it will ask you for the TR --> Enter the correct package name & create a new TR. If it doesn't prompt you for TR, just goto Extras --> Write transport request from the IO properties Menu screen. Once these IO changes are moved successfully, then the above proceduce can be followed using SE14 trans.
Hope it helps!

Pavan

MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing wirelessly to XP shared printer

MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing to XP shared printer
Bear with me please. I read tons of articles on this but somehow as a newbie to MAC (girlfriends sick daughter), I am missing something. 10.5.2
Currently, she can print directly if we plug in the HP Deskjet printer directly via USB to the MACBook. No problem.
When we first got the MACBOOK I tried setting up the MACBOOK wirelessly to recognize the workgroup where the printer was attached via USB to the Windows XP PC. However it printed out garbage since I did not know there was a difference between XP printing and MAC (Gutenberg/gimp printing/drivers).
Now I know there is a difference.
But in reading various instructions, I no longer can find how to connect the MAC to the Windows workgroup. Note we do have a printer set up currently as USB-HP Deskjet on the Macbook (not sure I need to delete it yet).
I went to System Preferences on MACBOOK and clicked on printers, more printers. In the drop down box was CANON, APPLETALK, IP HP printing and Firewire. There was no WINDOWS selection as I saw in other online web instructions.
So not sure how to proceed to find a way to:
1. Connect to Windows workgroup (click on what exactly), step by step please!!
2. Add correct HP Deskjet 5490 printer (perhaps there is one with Gutenberg or perhaps I need Gutenprint-really not sure what I am talking about)
Thanks so much in advance. Fiancé's kid has had her cancer recur in a different place and someone was nice enough to buy her a MACBOOK as a gift.
Sincerely
Peter

OK...I figured it out...no need to reply.

Any chance of posting the Protocol you used to connect to your printer with your laptop? I'm have the exact same problem printing from my MB. Same error message "..is busy".

Need help with show/hide and layers moving

I'm more of a designer, so I don't know code or CSS well at
all. I'm doing an online portfolio for a class and need help with
layers not staying in place in different browsers. The portfolio is
created with a table, but I wanted to use the show/hide function
for thumbnails of work. Are layers the only way you can use this
function? I read layers don't work well with tables, so how else
can I make it so when you mouse over a thumbnail, the larger image
appears in another cell?

> I don't know code or CSS well at all.
That's unfortunate.
> layers not staying in place in different browsers.
Layers don't move. But the rest of your page does.
Before you get too wrapped up in layers, though, please read
this -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layerlaws.asp
They are not good when be used as a primary layout method.
> I read layers don't work well with tables
They work fine with tables - but you have to understand both
tables and
layers to use them.
Why not show us your page, so we can see what you are
struggling with?

Javascript help - Hide/Show a page item

Environment:
APEX 3.1.00.09 running on AIX 5.3
Sample application on apex.oracle.com:
Workspace: GALWAY
UserID: gwicke
Password: gwicke
To see where my issues are:
1- Start on page 3
2- In the Agency drop down select 'J & B Marketing'
3- In the Contract drop down select the only contract that appears
4- Click on 'Edit Existing Contract'
5- Note the page item 'LY Closings' has the value 261
6- Click on the link (really a tab in my theme) at the top labeled 'Cost Detail'
7- The 'Estimate Justification' is the page item to be displayed/hidden as noted below.
8- The 'Homes Per Year' under the 'YEAR1' column is the user input page item
9- The P2_BUILDER_CLOSINGS (value 261 noted above) is the page item to be used in the comparison
I need to do a couple of things with a potentially hidden page item:
1- Every time the page loads I need to check to see if the page item (P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICATION) is not null and if it is indeed not null, make it displayed.
2- When the user enters a value in another page item (P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1), call a function to see if that value is more than 120% of another page item (P2_BUILDER_CLOSINGS) and if so make the above page item displayed (P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICATION).
I have the javascript function created (showHideEstimateJustification) and in the HTML Header of the page. The function is being called currently with an onChange check on the page item entered by the user as noted above (P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1).
Issues:
1- I need to force a SUBMIT after the user enters the value for P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1 so it is available in session state and hence to the javascript function (other ideas welcome!)
2- I am currently using the x.style.display = 'inline' versus 'none' to hide/show the page item, where x is derived from var x = document.getElementById(P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICATION) Is there a better way????
Any help is greatly appreciated.
-gary (a.k.a. Javascript newbie)

Hi,
Only your messages use the session state. The code would use the entered value, but you would need to change:
var homes = parseInt(document.getElementById('P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1'));to
var homes = parseInt(document.getElementById('P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1').value);so that "homes" becomes the numeric version of the value of the item
Normally, for the label, you would just enter an ID="xxx" into the HTML Table Cell Attributes for the label which you can then use in your javascript. For some reason this doesn't seem to want to work in this page.
What you could do is find all the labels and then check which is the right one before showing/hiding it. Something along the lines of:
var xx = document.getElementsByTagName("LABEL");
var zz;
var label;
for (zz = 0; zz < xx.length; zz++)
if (xx[zz].htmlFor == 'P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICTION")
label = xx[zz];
xx[zz].style.display = 'none';
{code}

Need help - Hide row of a recursive grouping if textbox value is empty

Hard to explain, but I will do my best.
I have a simple report that has a resource (accounting) recursive grouping. The group and the recursion is working correctly. The only dollar values I have to display are at the lowest level of the hierarchy so instead of having a simple SUM("POSTED_TOTAL_AMT")
field to show the rollup totals I did the following =Sum(Fields!POSTED_TOTAL_AMT.Value, "TREE_NODE", Recursive).
TREE NODE
POSTED TOTAL AMT
ALL_RESOURCES
24163945.66
BANK
BENALL
7027062.56
BENWL
3490587.96

COMAB

INCWL
2178540.52
CASH_FLOW
CHRTY
COGS-ENS
Everything I have read shows you how to hide a row based on a dataset field but I need to hide the row based on the textbox expression. For reference here is the expression for the values showing on the report: =Sum(Fields!POSTED_TOTAL_AMT.Value, "TREE_NODE",
Recursive)
I added this into the row visibility: =iif(IsNothing(Fields!POSTED_TOTAL_AMT2.Value),True,False)
But when I run the report I get the following error:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The Hidden expression for the grouping ‘TREE_NODE’ refers to the field ‘POSTED_TOTAL_AMT2’. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current dataset scope or, if inside an aggregate, the
specified dataset scope. Letters in the names of fields must use the correct case.

Hi BlackHills_SD,
According to your description, when you use the iif expression to set visibility of the row, you got the error message.
When we write expressions, we will find that the term scope is used in multiple contexts. Scope can specify the data to use for evaluating an expression, the set of text boxes on a rendered page, the set of report items that can be shown or hidden based
on a toggle. It seems that POSTED_TOTAL_AMT2 is not in the same dataset as TREE_NODE. We can refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:
Right-click the report and click Insert to add a text box.
Right-click inside of the text box, then click Expression.
Click Datasets, click First(POSTED_TOTAL_AMT2), scope of POSTED_TOTAL_AMT2 will be listed.
For more information about Understanding Expression Scope, please refer to the following document:

Need help filling this object please!!!

I need to fill shape 1 with a solid color. Shape 2 is what the object looks like when selected. Shape 3 is what happens when I try to fill it with color. I need it to stay within the boundaries shown on shape 1. Please help, I'm relatively new to Illustrator and cannot seem to find out what it is that is happening. I'm working in Illustrator CC.

jbizzle,
However I needed to redraw the object, and instead of lines I had to use rounded rectangles to create it.
Can you reuse the outer shape that looks like part of an ellipse?
If you can, you can start by recreating the top one as follows (Smart Guides are your friends):
1) Select and copy the upper/outer elliptic shape to the front (Ctrl+C+F), then lock the original full shape;
2) With the Line Segment Tool ClickDrag between the end Anchor Points of 1) (Smart Guides say anchor when you are there), then drag over the H value in the Transform palette and Ctrl+C to copy it;
3) Click with the Ellipse Tool on the Artboard and insert the value divided by 2 for W and H, then cut it at the top and bottom Anchor Point, then delete the right half;
4) Move the half circle on top of the lower left half circle shape as closely as possible, then select both the half circle and the outer ellipse, click the outer ellipse again and in the Align palette click Vertical Align Bottom;
4) Create a copy of the half circle and move it up by its height, then ShiftDrag it to fit the upper right half circle shape as closely as possible;
Now you should have the curved parts in place, and you only need the straight parts;
5) With the Direct Selection Tool Click each pair of Anchor Points to be connected by straight segments and Ctrl+J to join them;
Now you should have one clean path to fill. After that, you can rotate and move a copy.

Newbie needs help comprehending CSS Password Manager functions

Hello All:
I own a TP W500 4062-27U running Windows 7 Ultimate. The computer is trouble-free.
I am seeking a solution to the following need: An application that will securely remember my passwords for various websites, etc. and enable me to log in using the fingerprint reader or similar.
I am aware that Lenovo provides both Fingerprint Reader software and Client Security Solution software, but I don't know whether or not either one (or both) of these applications will provide the functionality I am seeking. I have spent a fair bit of time looking around the Lenovo website, but cannot find a document that describes (in a general, overview manner) the functionality that CSS provides.
I don't need to log into VPNs, or company networks, or anything really fancy like that - I just need something that will enable me to log into about 20 different websites, using a different password for each website. Right now, I'm generally using the same password for every website (that way, I can remember what it is), and as I think you will agree, that is probably not a very good practice so far as security is concerned.
If anyone could point me towards a document that explains how I can get CSS to do what I want it to do, I would be very grateful. If CSS does not have the functionality I am seeking, I would very much appreciate a recommendation of software - possibly non-Lenovo - that does provide the functionality I am seeking.
Thanks very much for your assistance.
Michael

Hi PanEuropean2,
Welcome to Lenovo Forum!
In regard to your question, Client Security Solution (CSS) should be the right fit for you.
I have a T410 with Win 7, and have several passwords to remember which is really killing me. However, by using CSS, Fingerprint software and Password Manager, I need to enter all the passwords only once when access a website or a tool, and let it saved in CSS.
The next time i turn on the machine and open up a website which needs user ID and password, I just need to swipe the fingerprint that I've enrolled, then viola!
Just take note that after the first swipe of fingerprint, tools or website that are to be accessed later will automatically show the password in the box directly without having to swipe fingerprint again. You just need to click to log in. I"m not sure if this is the experience you're looking for, however, no harm to give it a try.
Here's the user guide for CSS. It has
Client Security Solution components
Client Security Solution installation considerations
Client Security Solution features
Hope this helps
Cheers,

Newbie needs help with browser compatibility

Ok, so I'm new at this, so this may be something really
simple, but browser compatibility? I made a site in DW;html and it
shows up perfect in safari but internet explorer and firefox not so
much. I did a browser compatibility test in DW and it says nothing
is wrong with my pages, but obviously something must be!!
On my home page, the image of a house that I have next to the
company name shows up fine in safari but not any other browsers.
And my page layout, everything is moved over funny in other
browsers. Also there are link boxes around the table I created with
different brands of products. On safari the boxes do not show, but
all the other browsers it does!! I'm new at this and frustrated!!!
Need help!!
The link is holmeshifi.com and I posted code from the home
page!

OK thanks Ned sorry to soo dumb I'm on a learning curve here! what
I'm trying to do is go to the URLs of web galleries of images from my
main site
so I would presumably have to rename them on my server? i.e. does that
mean adding the code ", "_blank");
to the files on the server?
At the moment I have to use the back button on my browser window which
takes me back to the main site which then has to reload (tediously!)

Newbie needs help hiding shape outline

i'm sure this is simple for someone who knows what they are doing -- i created three circles which overlap at certain points, and each of the spaces is filled in with a different color. i need to hide the thin, black outline of the circles. i have made sure that there is no stroke, but it's still there. any help would be greatly appreciated!

hi lynne, and jacob,
does this help?
i went through and made sure there was no stroke on the lower right, but this is my first day, so i'm sure i'm missing something.

Newbie needs help - doing a phone book - tips needed

Guys/Gals
Thanks for taking the time to read me.
I am a graphic designer, been working daily on Illustrator /Photoshop for years, I have InDesign CS3 installed on my computer (PC) and never worked on it, until today. I have a project of doing a phone book for a local organization.
There will be ads, and names/addresses and phone numbers (just like a yellow page book).
The names/phone numbers have been given to me in an Excel document. With over 3000 lines, 5 columns (name, address, street name, postal code and tel number).
MY QUESTIONS:
1- How do I put the Excel document inside InDesign? I want all pages to follow. If by any chance I add a name, I want the whole document to slide down one line..Or if I increase/decrease the font, I want the number of page to readjust automatically...you follow me?
As I said, I am a newbie in this program, so please give me the step by step on how to do this.
There will be ads and tabs added through the contents, and I do not want this to become a nightmare...
2- With past experience you may have had on similar projects, any other tips that I should think about before starting?How do I create an automatic page layout (numbers on the bottom, line over, etc)?
Thanks for all your help
Jack

2- With past experience you may have had on similar projects, any other tips that I should think about before starting?How do I create an automatic page layout (numbers on the bottom, line over, etc)?
Page numbers are comparatively easy; check out the sections in the help file about page numbering and master pages.
"Automatic page layout" is not really what ID does, so you're asking a very complicated question. "Line over" is called a "rule" in ID, and there's a few places where you could set that up. However, the best place is in the Paragraph Styles menu. You should get to know this menu very well before you even think about starting work.
This is not something that can be easily described in a step-by-step programmatic fashion; or, rather, it can, but you don't yet have the vocabulary to implement those steps. So, if I tried to describe the step-by-step instructions for using smart reflow (another help entry you should read, as that will answer 30% of your questions about having additional pages added on the fly), and you followed them to the letter, you'd still find yourself back here asking questions. Or perhaps accidentally munging your document according to a forum regular's instructions, simply because the forum-ites can't easily look over your shoulder as you work. However, if you already have a background in text manipulation in Illustrator, you'll be able to pop over the steepest part of the initial learning curve with comparatively little effort.
So...
If by any chane I add a name, I want the whole document to slide down one line..Or if I increase/decrease the font, I want the number of page to readjust automatically...you follow me?
As I said, I am a newbie in this program, so please give me the step by step on how to do this.
I'm pretty sure that Smart Reflow will handle this for you, but I've always found it to interfere with my working style, so I avoid it. I typically make whatever changes I want to the text, and then quickly go to the end of the document to see if I have text overflow. If I do, it's a very small number of keystrokes & clicks to add new pages, apply master pages to 'em, flow in new text, and so on.
There will be ads and tabs added through the contents, and I do not want this to become a nightmare...
Some more useful terms with which to search the help file: anchored objects, text wrap. As you can see, most of us responding to your post are advising that you study some before you start building your document. If you have significant Illustrator/Photoshop experience, you're not going to be completely lost. However, ID's text manipulation tools dwarf those of Illustrator, so you may be in for a bit of an unpleasant awakening if you expect ID to handle text with the automagical interference that you'd find in Word or Powerpoint or Publisher.

Newbie needs help with Flex app

Hi there. I am very new to Flex and also fairly new to
programming although I do have a little experience.
I am trying to create an app which stores code snippets or
common text I tend to use every day in my documents and emails.
So basically I need help on a design level. I can refer to
the developer's manual for exact instructions for commands, but I
need to know what to code first.
The app will consist of:
-a tree directory structure where I can create groups.
-There will be a basic text editor where I input all my data,
basic text formatting options (font, bullets etc) would be a bonus.
-A search function
-Finally it will ideally allow multiple client apps write to
a central database file over a network
Can anyone suggest how I should approach such a project?
Or are there any tutorials / source files which demonstrate
each bullet point?
thanks.

Hey jono,
I'm new too. But I think I might know the right components.
If you google any of these + flex 3 you should get some
decent documentation
tree - advanced dataGrid component
basic text editor - rich text editor component
search function - well, you're gonna need to read up on
arrays, and arraycollection. Once you get that stuff working, you
can write up a function to search for a string in an array.
network functionality - HTTPService, you can dump the
datagrid into a database, and have it load the database when you
open up the application.
Give these things a shot, tutorials / sources will come with
the google searches.

DVD Studio Pro Newbie Needs Help!

I have a presentation deadline approaching and I need help desperately. I created my presentation using Keynote 3 (800*600 slides) and exported it to a Quicktime movie using H.264 compression at 29.97 fps (high quality settings). I then proceeded to use iDVD 6 and imported the Quicktime movie and created a simple menu using the templates provided.
I saved the entire project as a disk image and used the DVD player to check the disk image file. The quality of the DVD disk image file looked nothing like the original Quicktime movie. The images and text looked blurry and unprofessional.
I've spend quite some time on the iDVD and Keynote discussion forums and can't find a solution to my problem. The conclusion I've come is that the mpeg-2 encoder that iDVD 6 uses is problematic.
I don't want to start using DVD Studio Pro but I will in order to preserve the quality of my original Keynote presentation. So here are my questions...thank you in advance for your help guys....I really need it:
- I plan on playing the DVD on a 42" Plasma display at a sales office and also distributing it to potential buyers. Are my Keynote export settings optimal for iDVD use? Should I be using H.264 @ 29.97?
- If I must use DVDSP then what export/compression settings should I use in Keynote to preserve the quality? Keynote doesn't give me an option to use mpeg-2. I have ffmpegX so I can encode different formats...just need to know the correct one.
- Keynote exports separate audio and video files. I combined them using Quicktime. Is it possible to use the combined file in DVDSP or do they need to be separate.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any reading material pertaining to this matter please provide link.

PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

You can use a mov file that contains both audio and video. DVD Studio Pro will compress the mov itself. I am not overly familiar with the codec H.264 but either way its a codec that compresses the video, and if I am right that codec is used for compressing video to web based file sizes, which means heavy compression. When I create DVD material I use M2V format which is what DVD SP wants anyways so it cuts time and drive space in half. If you export an mov and import it into DVD SP, DVD SP compresses the file again which is M2V. Now you have two files, with twice the compression time. When creating M2V the only thing that you need o be aware of is the bit rate, which needs to be adjusted pending the duration of the video. Use 29.97 if you are NTSC and full frame rate, which you should be.
If you can not create an M2V file with associated aiff audio file, than export your QT file as uncompressed or as a QT Movie. The file itself will be huge but DVD SP will compress it properly.

I'm running winXP and have downloaded the latest CS 5.5 version of Dreamweaver - I've created a small series of interlinking web pages with the 'main site' being a folder on my Desktop called Testsite. As far as I'm aware all the relevant pages/documets/images are contaned within my Desktop folder and everything runs from index.html which sits within my testsite folder. Ultimately, I would like to be able put a CD in a drive and automatically launch a browser that would open my home page (i.e. index.html). I need help on all this but I will googe for the auto launch bit - at the moment I would appreciate any advice on burnng my site to a CD. Because I have created the site on my PC I'm assuming all my dreamweaver internals/links are in the form C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\Testsite - so I'm guessing if I just copy my Desktop Testsite folder to a CD and run index.html on another PC my little web site is not going to work. I have googled but keep getting pages about running the actual Dreamweaver applicaton from a CD and installing it on a PC - not the way I want to do it. I'm not interested in moving Dreamweaver to a CD - just the site/pages I have created. Any advice apprecited.

All long as all of your files are linked with relative links (eg: /path/to/file.jpg and not http://www.domain.com/path/to/file.jpg) you should be fine. Auto-starting can be an issue because there are some operating systems that don't auto start discs. So you should maybe include instructions with your disc in case the autorun does not work.
