No cursor change for link

I've successfully created a movie that links to another web page, but there's nothing to indicate that the movie is a link - the cursor doesn't change to a hand when over the movie - I'd rather not put text beside the image to indicate the link, since that would ruin the desired effect...anyone know how to get the cursor to change - or a workaround?
Thank-you
G4 Dual 1.25 Mac OS X (10.4)

If you made your link the last frame of your "movie" you could use the "target" (the capital T in the code) "_blank" (without the quotes) and your page would open a new browser window without any user intervention.
The .txt file would look like this:
{QTtext}{font:Geneva}{plain}{size:12}{textColor: 65535, 65535, 65535}{backColor: 0, 0, 0}{justify:center}{timeScale:1000}{width:160}{height:64}{timeStamps:absolute}{l anguage:0}{textEncoding:0}
[00:00:00.000]
A<http://your URL here> T<_blank>
[00:00:01.060]
You may confuse your visitors, however. I use a simple "click here for more info" image file for my linked files.

RollOver/MouseOver cursor change bug in external loaded swf

I have a master movie with navigation that loads a external swfs. The external swfs serve different purposes and typically have a series of buttons that navigate the timeline. The external movies with their buttons work fine running individually. When the movies are loaded through the master movie, the buttons in the external movies looses the cursor change on rollOver. These are basic invisible hotspot - button symbols. The buttons typically navigated to different frames. I am curious why the cursor change fails when loaded through the main movie, but works when run on its own.
I have done some searching in Google, but didn't find a similar issue. Any ideas? Throughout all the movies, I probably have over 200 buttons, I don't want to create rollOver and rollOut cursor changes for each. Again, these are basic button symbols.
Any clues?
Dave

Actually, the some of the external movies were created with InDesign - which is the worst application for developing Flash content with.

My cursor changed to a crosshead

Hi,
I run an apache server (for website develpment) on my MacBook Pro late 2008 runnning mountain lion and I tried to change the permission to be able to run a PHP mkdir() function. I read a lot of posts on internet saying that I needed to go in the terminal to change something... So I entered the command line : sudo chmod 775 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs...
Now, I still cannot run the mkdir() function and my cursor changed for a crosshair, but sometimes the real cursor flashes 1 second and than the crosshair comes back...
HELP ME !!! Please !!

Changing the permissions on that file will not cause any obvious changes to your Mac. Only when you go to execute that file, it may actually open instead of whatever it was doing before.
That would have no impact on the mkdir() function, unless you were making directories in the directory whose permissions you changed.
Having the cursor change to a crosshair is pretty bizarre.
It sounds like you are having to do a lot of heavy lifting just to get the tools to go. Have you considered running Mac OS X Server? I run 10.6. Server, and it includes Apache.

RH Automatically Changing HTML Code for Links

For some reason, RH is doing something to the links I create. In my stylesheet, I have the following code for links:
a {
    color: #054abc;
    cursor: pointer;
a:hover {
    color: #336699;
    text-decoration: none;
a:active {
    color: #333333;
When I create a link, the HTML code looks like this *at first*:
<a href="Development_Plan.htm">Development Plan</a>
But then, after I save the file and switch to HTML view, the code looks like this:
<a href=" Development_Plan.htm" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline; ">Transcript</a>
I am not doing anything other than saving the file, and that apparently causes RH to automatically add the style (color and text-decoration). Why is RH adding that? It's causing my links not to change color when you hover over them.
How can I make RH stop doing that, so my links display as defined in the stylesheet?

Hi,
This is strange behaviour. How exactly do you create a hyperlink? I have seen this behaviour only with links that are empty or contain a single space.
As a workaround, in your css, add the !important declaration to your hover styles:
a:hover
Although this isn't an elegant solution, it will overwrite the inline styling of the link and thus change colour on hover.

Cursor does not change for pop-up window

I created a link for a pop-up window. The link does work, but the cursor does not change to a pointy finger, the standard link icon.
I don't know a lot of javascript, but can figure it out if it's just adding some code. Any help would be appreciated! Here's the code:
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
Thanks in advance.

Hi Todd,
i got the same problem.(cursor not change for pop-up windows) and because i m not an expert in internal html code i did try several solutions to fix it.
The easiest (but also even longer if u need to do severals) is to create a button (withs 2 overflight changing pics) with "inserer", "image survolée"
the "image survolée" can be linked to a pop-up window with the correct effect. To do so highlight the "expected new link to" and on right side task bar ad a "comportement" named "ouvrir la fenetre du navigateur" and optionally choose the size and windows available function of the pop-up. It works even if u need to proceed first with an overflight changing button.
The result is longer to obtain and not absolutely perfect. So I guess it s only an help solution for a single mateer. i would be glad to get another solution with a text link rather than using the overflight button system. Technically it should be better, more efficient and faster to proceed with applying an html code that really makes the text appearing as a classic link to a new windows whatever pop up or full size window. Please let me know if u get further answer to fix this problem.
Many thx and excuse my technical english translation about DreamCs4

Creating Link to New Window with Defined Size and Cursor Change

Hello,
I seem to be having a problem having a hot-spot link open a new window and perform the way I want it to. I have tried a few different ways of going about this, as described below:
The first method when defining the hot spot was to use the properties menu provided at the bottom of Dreamweaver when I click on the hot spot. When I test the page, the cursor changes to a hand and I can open the link in a new window BUT I cannot define the width and height of the new window.
The second method was after defining the hot spot, using the behaviors menu from the tag inspector. From here, I would add an Open Browser Window behavior using the onClick event. Here, I can open the new window in a pre-defined width and height BUT when I test the page, the cursor does not change to a hand. It just remains the standard arrow.
The question is, how I can define the hot spot to where the mouse will change to a hand when I scroll over it AND when the window opens, it is set to the width and height I want to define?
Thanks,
Smartin1007

Good Morning Gentlemen,
I tried placing the cursor script into the code without success. Either I'm not applying it correctly or it could be that the code in use is a combination of html and Java scripting.
Right now, I converted all of the image maps to the behaviors technique because I need the specific window sizes for the application that is being created. Steve, I am using DW CS4, and a sample of the code is provided below:
map name="Map"
area shape="rect" coords="19,466,56,503" alt="Stage Hydrograph - North Fork Licking River at Mt. Olivet, KY" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('StageHydrograph/MtOlivet.html','','width=915,height=665')"
/map
Note that there is no href reference, because I haven't found a suitable way of having an href reference with target=_blank to where I can define the new window size.
I really appreciate the advice and time that is being taken to help solve this problem.

Changing text-colour for links

Script for changing tif links to jpeg

Hi,
I have a file linked to a bunch of tifs. I've run a script in PS converting those images to jpeg. I could manually change each link, but I'd much rather use a script to go through my doc and convert my link urls from *.tif to *.jpg
Has anyone come across a script for this? and if not, I can build one, but I'm having trouble finding the InDesign Scripting Reference pdf. Can someone point me in the direction?
Thanks,
Stan

I attached a new version of the script, but I haven't properly tested it yet.
Is there a repository of InDesign scripts online somewhere? if there isn't there oughtta be....
Here is Scriptopedia by Loik.
I started a new page on my site where I want to post scripts for download and links to scripts on other sites, sorted by categories.
There are loads of scripts on InDesign Exchange, but some of them are quite outdated — it takes ages to post scripts there.

Find/Change for internet links?

Is it possible to do a Find/Change for internet links?
That is, if I have URLs that do not appear in the text of the AppleWorks document, but in the links window, and I want to change all the links beginning with http://us.imdb.com to http://pro.imdb.com
It seems this is not possible through the Find/Change function under the Edit menu, but perhaps I just don't know the right way. Otherwise, the only way to do it would seem to be to change each one individually in the links window with the edit function.

Hello
Alas, the last formula is the right one.
The URLs are not stored in the body of the document so the Find/Change tool is unable to find them.

Changing the linked image for the Image Matte Key doesn't work

When I change the linked image for the Image Matte Key in Photoshop, the link does not change in my Premiere Pro CS6. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times going into the Image Matte Key setting and locating the new matte in Explorer (each time having to re-locate the folder that the matte is in) to see it within the premier monitor. Any suggestions?

Hi
The commands work correctly here on the same OS etc: Cycle Locators jump to the next/prev marker and the Playhead jumps to the Start of the Marker.
Default KC are Control Command +Arrow Left/right
Step 1: check you are using the correct key command :-)

SG300 cant change the Link Local address for an IPv6 interface

There seems to be no apparent way to change the Link Local address for an IPv6 interface
If I create more than one interface they all appear to have the same Link Local address

Never mind, I figured it out
By adding a Link Local address to an interface, it overides the existing one on the interface

How to show the 'hand' cursor on thumbnail link?

Hi
I'm a novice user, today is the 3rd time I've even worked in Dreamweaver ..I used to use Frontpage 2000 so this a quite a change for me. <:)
I'm making a simple picture gallery using image thumbnails and wanted the full view images to load in a custom sized windows. I used the 'onclick' and 'open browser window' behaviour for each thumbnail and previewed it in IE & Safari. The windows were great, but I noticed the standard arrow pointer appears over the thumbnails even though they are links to full images..so nobody would know they are clickable. : /
Is there some way in Dreamweaver CS4 to have the cursor change to the 'hand' form to indicated this is a link? I'm guessing it might be something to do with an 'on mouseover' trigger on the thumbnail, but I didn't see anything about cursors.
Apologies in advance if I did not explain this in the correct terms or if it's a code issue that can't be addressed in Dreamweaver.
Shelley

Why not use a null link on the thumbnail to attach the behaviour to? and add the return false.
<a href="javascript:;"><img src="FW-gradient-slice.jpg" alt="" name="Image1" width="185" height="176" id="Image1" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('FW-gradient-slice.jpg','','width=600,height=600');return false" /></a>
Select the thumbnail and in the property inspectory, in the link box, type in javascript:;
Then apply the Open Browser window to the thumbnail as usual.
You may want to look at using David's Smart Link Dreamweaver extension - very easy to use and valid:
http://foundationphp.com/tools/index.php
You will also need to add the following rule to the stylesheet (or in the head of the document if the style rules are there), to remove the blue border around the images...
a img {border: none;}

Spry menu bar submenu disappears when cursor changes

Hello.
I've been working with a spry menu bar for some time, but when I expand the submenu and then move the cursor over some text on the page (where the sub-menu is on top of), the submenu disappears. In other words, it seems that when the cursor changes from a pointer to a text cursor, the submenu disappears.
Can anyone tell me how to prevent that from happening?

Sorry, but without a link to your online page, it's a time-wasting, error-prone guessing game.
If you put your test page and all dependent files online, and post a link here, we will gladly check that:
    Your server is working
    That all required HTML code is correct
    That your folder hierarchy is correct
    That all required dependent files (HTML, CSS, JS, Images etc.) are uploaded to proper folders
    That Javascript Versions are correct
    That link paths are all correct and case sensitive
Sounds like your submenus may be positioned with a small gap from your top-level links

Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE).

I have a 3 node cluster that has replica setup to replicate to another cluster off-site.
Suddenly one of the servers is not replicating with the error:
Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE). (Virtual Machine ID CC0FD4CC-F9B7-4C68-ABE8-B7D52A87899F)
All other servers are replicating fine so there cannot be a permissions or connectivity issue between the 2 clusters.
This server has 2TB of data so I'd rather not have to start the replication again.
Does anyone have any pointers?
Thanks.

Hi drensta,
Based on my knowledge , "hyper-v replica broker " is needed for failover cluster replica .
Here is a link for "Why is the "Hyper-V Replica Broker" required?"
