Newbie - Scripting help pleaseeee

Hi All,
I am having a real problem with a script I have created;
Basically I have taken 80+ photos at my son’s soccer presentation evening and I want to add some text and the logo of the team to the bottom of each image. I have created a document with the text and logo setup and saved as a jpeg. The script runs as follows;
Open image from folder
Expand canvas by 3cm at bottom
Go to logo file and copy image
Go back to image and paste – new layer
**Move logo to below image **
Expand canvas by 3 cm all round (so I can crop them to 10"x 8" later)
Save image in new folder
Close image
Repeat until all images processed
** The problem is at this step as it seems to put the logo at different positions within the 3cm white band at the bottom, some of
them end up on part of the photo, so;
Is their any way of actually determining a gap between the bottom of the photo and the logo, to ensure they are all in the same place, or is there a way to pause the script where I can move the logo myself and then continue with the script. I can only find a 'stop' option, which obviously kills the script.
Any help would be great as at the moment 'nights and days are becoming one', and I am getting very sleepppyyyy zzzzzz
Ta
Steve.

Steve, what you are referring to is an action not a script (I think?). I was not able to find a way in which you can toggle the dialog on for a move step? It did not come up as a option? What you may be able to do as work around with actions is after paste…
1. Select all layers
2. Align bottom
3. Align left
4. Select top layer
5. Move set amount of times using arrow keys (shift optional for x 10)
Continue the rest of your action…
Retouching skills not so hot there…

Newbie Script Help CS4

Hello all, I'm starting to learn flash and scripting and i have run into a problem. I have made navigational buttons to flags i have established in the time line, and i have tow movie clips, one that plays before the other. So far i have a stop action when the first movieclip plays, and i tries adding this inside the movie clip...
stop();
gotoAndPlay("print");
I can't seem to get the movie clip to jump to the next flag in the main root of the scene. can any one help. thanks in advance.

Interesting. I copied it from this code for a script written for CS2 that applies a thumbnail script to multiple documents:
// docs is a reference to the Documents collection, that holds all open documents
docs = app.documents;
for (i=0; i < docs.length; i++) {
// instead of getting the active document, iterate through each open doc
doc = docs.index(i);
I just tested your script on our workflow and it almost works. I don't get the error I was getting before, so thank you for fixing that. Our workflow is apparently the issue now. I'm getting the error, "You can only duplicate layers from the frontmost document." How can I rewrite the script so that our logo PSD doesn't have to be already open--and thus in doc[0] position--as our action cycles through each photo?
What my wife wants to be able to do is batch cycle through a set of photographs, have an action (or script, or combination of the two) copy the layer set over to the currently open photo, relocate and possibly resize the logo on that photo, then save and close the photo and have the next one automatically open to repeat the process.
I really didn't expect this to be so time-consuming. I've now spent three hours trying to psych this out. Thanks again for the help.

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. I noticed that there was another Protocol to use to set up the printer on the Mac, I was using LPD, so I switched it to HP Jet Direct-socket, and it prints fine...thanks. I am curious as to why LPD wouldn't work; if anyone has that answer I would like to know...thanks
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".

Gallery script help, please

Gallery script help, please
Hello,
I'm new to actionscript in general, I do know a little...
I foung a gallery script, modified many things, the images
open fine, everything is working, but here's the thing:
the gallery is in 3 sections, red, blue and yellow.
I would like to know how, what, and where to put a script so
that if a "the small red image #1" is clicked, I can load any sort
of a movie on top of the "the BIG red image #1" or #2 or 3 and so
on...same goes for the blue and yellow...
If I figured things correctly on my own...the small thumbnail
images of the gallery are not buttons, that's why I can't attach a
movie (let's say) to them...but it is all written in script, using
the horizontal and vertical position of the mouse to open the large
images of the gallery...
So, I don't know how to figure things out, to attach a
specific movie to a specific thumbnail...
p.s.: I think the script that controls the gallery is in
symbol 120
I really would appreciate the help
Merry Christmas in advance to everyone

Firefox not responding, freezes, sometimes responds after a few minutes, other times a pop-up appears asking if I want to stop script - help please

firefox not responding, freezes, sometimes responds after a few minutes, other times a pop-up appears asking if I want to stop script - help please

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Flash Newbie needs help with Movie Clips/Action Scripting

Hi -
I'm having a problem with my movie clips playing
simultaneously and cannot, for the life of me, figure out what I
have done wrong. I'm new to flash, so I may have set something up
incorrectly, but here's what I have so far:
11 layers, total: 1 layer with 10 control buttons, each
button with the following actionscript:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(85);
Where the number changes in relation to which keyframe the
next movie is on.
I have 10 movies, total, but they are only movie clips,
essentially photo slide shows with audio, made all in the library.
The problem happens when I click on the second or third
button. Not only does the movie that I have selected begin to play,
but all of the previous clips do as well, so it all sounds quite
garbled. I don't know what I am missing in the action script, as my
Action Layer has a stop command on it at each keyframe where there
is a new clip to play.
I have tried to add a stopAllSounds command, but I'm afraid
that doesn't do anything because it is not a "sound file" per se,
playing in the timeline.
I'm at the end of my rope and really need some help in
figuring this one out. My project is hanging in the balance on
this, as I have scripted everything else correctly and it runs
beautifully.
Please help!
Thanks,
Caroline

Each layer has a blank keyframe before and after each
movieclip. Each movie clip is at a different frame. Even with the
blank keyframes added, the second video starts to play and then the
first video begins to play. Same happens if I click on the third
button. Third plays, and starts 1st and 2nd shortly thereafter. Is
there an action script I can put in that will tell the timeline
that, when a button is clicked, no matter where the movieclip is,
it will stop and start the newly selected movieclip?

Newbie - scripting an "all play" in an instructional dvd? PLEASE HELP!

Hello and thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I am working on an instructional dvd with six chapters. On the main menu I have 6 buttons each assigned to a track (each track is assigned to the corresponding chapter) I want to have a 7th button that says "all play" and I would like to have tracks 1 through 6 play and then return to main menu.
I didn't write any scripts for the chapters (never had a project that needed any.) I went step by step with the manual and I know it's operator error but when I hit play all, the first two chapters play and then it goes back to the main menu even though I have the 6 chapters listed on the play all script. Also I added the shopping script at the end of that list. Do I have to make 6 individual scripts? One for each chapter/track? Sorry to be so dense, I'm sure it's easy. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Newbie Action Script Help

Hello List.
This is my first try at Flash.
I tried the drag and drop demo at
http://monkeyflash.com/tutorials/flash-drag-and-drop/.
It works well allowing me to drag an item and have it register when
it is dropped on the correct target.
I want to modify it so that I can drag an item to multiple
locations... not just one.
My desired application is the ability to drag pendents or
charms onto a bracelet or chain and have them "snap" to the chain.
With the above demo, I can see how 90% of it would work, but I
cannot figure out how to have multiple targets named the same. The
bulk of the code is attached.
The line I believe needs to changed is this one:
if (event.target.dropTarget != null &&
event.target.dropTarget.parent == myTarget){
I need this part :event.target.dropTarget.parent == myTarget
to read something to the affect of:
if item being dropped is over object A OR object B OR object
C OR object D than ... rest of my code
Can this be done?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

XML Newbe -- Please Help

Hi,
In most of the OTN XML samples, the data was entered by SQL scripts.
In real life, is it possible to maintain enterprise information /data by only using XML/XSQL technology without using Java applets? Is it at all possible ?
As a newbe I am looking for some simple XML sample application.
If I can find on the basis of SCOTT schema
complete XML application through which I can INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE record including the error handling for primary key violation and so on ... would be great!
I think such kind of application will help many of us to understand the basics!
Thanks in advance!

If/then checkbox script help in Adobe Acrobat Form...

If have an order form that has two different pricing fields (regular price per item & subscription price per item) for each line item and then a quantity and then a total field. Lastly, there is a checkbox on the form that indicate if they are signing up for a monthly subscription.
What I am trying to do is create a script that totals each line by the regular price multipled by the quantity or subscription price by quantity if the subscription check box is checked ("Yes"). So far, I've tried several scripts I found in the forum but no luck at all.
The check box is near the billing fields toward the bottom so all the line items appear first in the top section of the form. So, an individual would fill out each line and the calculations would just total each row (reg price * qty) as you go down the form...then when you check the subscription box all the line totals would change to reflect the subscription pricing for each row (which can be different). Just need help with one row and I can duplicate for each row.....
Here is what I have that does NOT work yet.....:
(function () {
if (this.getField("sub").value==="Yes") {
     var b1 = this.getField("Price1b");
     var c1 = this.getField("Qty1");
     var d1 = this.getField("Price1");
     event.value = b1.value * c1.value;
} else event.value = d1.value * c1.value;

One last strange thing is that when I then do the "Value is the Sum simple total of the row total fields (where the script is) and then click the check mark for subscription, the number in the grand total field shows the opposite value as the row total field (so when you click the subscription check box, the row total goes to the subscription price and the grand total field then shows the full price)....can't figure out why that happens......?
Any ideas?

PowerShell Scripting help to combine two scripts

I have a script that helps automate virtual server builds. The script creates a specification document which is used to perform the actual builds.
# Spec-And-Build.ps1 - Loops through a directory and performs an
# end to end specification generation and build on each request in that directory
[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string]$RequestDir,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string]$SpecDir,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [pscredential]$Credential_CPR,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [pscredential]$Credential_VDC,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [pscredential]$Credential_Admin
if (!$Credential_CPR) {
    $Credential_CPR = Get-Credential -Message "CPR Domain Credentials."
    if (!$Credential_CPR.UserName.ToUpper().StartsWith("CPR\")) {
        $Credential_CPR = New-Object pscredential(
            ("CPR\" + $Credential_CPR.UserName), $Credential_CPR.Password)
if (!$Credential_VDC) {
    $Credential_VDC = Get-Credential -Message "VDC Domain Credentials."
    if (!$Credential_VDC.UserName.ToUpper().StartsWith("VDC\")) {
        $Credential_VDC = New-Object pscredential( `
            ("VDC\" + $Credential_VDC.UserName), $Credential_VDC.Password)
if (!$Credential_Admin) {
    $Credential_Admin = Get-Credential -UserName "Administrator or root" `
        -Message "Enter the Administrator or root password for the new VM. The user name here will be ignored"
.\Gen-VMSpec-Many.ps1 -RequestDir $RequestDir -SpecDir $SpecDir -Credential_VDC $Credential_VDC
$caption = "Continue Build"
$message = "Please validate the generated specification files in $SpecDir - Then click Continue to start build"
$opContinue = new-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription "&Continue","help"
$opAbort = new-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription "&Abort","help"
$choices = [System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription[]]($opContinue,$opAbort)
$answer = $host.ui.PromptForChoice($caption,$message,$choices,0)
if ($answer -eq 0) {
    .\Build-VM-Many.ps1 -SpecDir $SpecDir -Credential_CPR $Credential_CPR -Credential_VDC $Credential_VDC -Credential_Admin $Credential_Admin
} else {
    Write-Host "Build step aborted, run Build-VM-Many.ps1 manually to continue."
This script works well. Now I need to add a section that adds Active Directory groups to the built servers from the spec document. I found this script which also works well:
# Create local group on the local or a remote computer
Write-Host -foregroundcolor Yellow 'Admin Privileges Required!'
$computerName = Read-Host 'Enter computer name or press <Enter> for localhost'
$localGroupName = Read-Host 'Enter local group name'
$description = Read-Host 'Enter description for new local group'
if ($computerName -eq "") {$computerName = "$env:computername"}
if([ADSI]::Exists("WinNT://$computerName,computer")) {
    $computer = [ADSI]"WinNT://$computerName,computer"
    $localGroup = $computer.Create("group",$localGroupName)
    $localGroup.SetInfo()
    $localGroup.description = [string]$description
    $localGroup.SetInfo()
My question is, how do I make one script from the two? I am very new to PowerShell scripting.

Here are the instructions on how to use PowerShell:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx
Your question is vague and is asking for someone to do this for you. It is better if you do it yourself and post back with specific questions.
In the end you have to write and debug the scripts. We will not do this for you but we will answer questions.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Saveas Scripting help request

I am trying to piece together a maro that will initially resize an image and save it with a different suffix at different size increments. I found within the cs5 scripts folder the macro 'Fit Image.jsx' that would allow me to resize correctly but am lost on how to add in the subsequent save steps and additional resize and saves. I would like to have it save the image with 5 different file sizes and suffixes (400x400 '-2' suffix, 250x250 '-2T', 150x150 '-1', 100x100 '-0', and 50x50 '-2S'). I found some information on the saveas http://forums.adobe.com/message/2652204 but have no experience with javascript. I have some understanding of VBA and believe a loop could be used but haven't the slightest idea how to set this up. Is there anyone out there that could help walk me through this and lend me a hand?
