Parent talking to child fails some of the time?

Hi All,
Have others found that sending a value (stored in a variable) from a parent (main timeline) to a child (movie clip) fails some of the time but only when the movie is running as a .swf (it never fails when testing in authoring)?
My main timeline's actionscript has:
XYZ_ChildMC.variableA = false; //parent talks to child movie clip
In the child MC script:
import fl.video.*;
var variableA;
function completeHandler(e: fl.video.VideoEvent): void
     if (variableA == false)
             myFLV.seek(0);
             myFLV..play();
This seems to fail about 5% of the time when running/rerunning the .swf in a browser.
Anyone have a similar experience?
Thanks

never had that problem. most likely you have a timing issue.
use the trace function or textfield to determine if completeHandler is executing before variableA is assigned.

I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices. However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even power if off. I can't access the hardward ID which Apple support seems to require for Chat.
It might have happened when I was accessing my camera bypassing the lock screen!
All I know is that the thing is now useless and it looks like I will have to wait for the battery to run down to see if powering it back up afterwards will solve the problem.

I have since discovered the "hold down home key and power button" together for a few seconds and this seems to have worked .... phew!

My iPhone does not alert every time I receive a text message, only some of the time. Anyone else have this problem?

My iPhone 4S does not alert every single time I receive a text message, only some of the time. The software is all up to date. Anyone else have this problem?

There are a number of different alerts that can be played on the iPhone. Have you turned the mute switch on? That is located on the side of the phone. When it is in the down/on position (the orange is showing) you should not get any sound alerts. Also, it could be an SMS, a voicemail, an email, a 3rd party alert (if you have particiular apps that provide alerts). You would need to check all of those settings, but with the mute switch on you should not get any sound alerts.

Why does CC update .png files only some of the time?

I am creating some lower thirds from a template in PS, saving them as .png files and bringing them into the project. When I get updates from our clients, I will make those changes in the .psd, and save over the original .png file. Sometimes CC will update that file in the project without having to re-import and everything is fine. It isnt a huge hassle to just replace the file but Id like to know why it only works some of the time.

Hi Landshrkk,
The script only outputs the names of the services that have deployments, because the get-azuredeployment cmdlet encounter error and didn't pass the result to select cmdlet, please try the script below:
$output=@()
Select-AzureSubscription MyAzureSubscription
$ServiceNames = Get-azureservice
foreach ($service in $ServiceNames){
$ServiceName = $service | select -ExpandProperty ServiceName
$ServiceDateModified = $service | select -ExpandProperty DateModified
$s=$service |get-azuredeployment -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable NoDeployment
$output += New-Object PSObject -Property @{
ServiceName = $ServiceName
DeploymentName = $s.DeploymentName
Status = $s.Status
CreatedTime = $s.CreatedTime
LastModifiedTime = $s.LastModifiedTime
ServiceDateModified = $ServiecDateModified
NoDeployment = $NoDeployment}
$output|Sort-Object -Propert DeploymentName |export-csv "outputfile.csv" -notypeinformation
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Push Notifications to APNS Fail 50% of the Time

Sending a notification to an iOS device fails half the time with this error:
The Push Notification System returned an Internal Server Error
Here is my setup:
Free Trial version of Azure
Sandbox certificates uploaded to a Mobile Service/Notification Hub
App developed with PhoneGap and built using Adobe's PhoneGap Build service
Using the com.microsoft.azure-mobile-services Cordova plugin
I am able to use either the DEBUG page on the Azure site, Visual Studio 2013 (Server Explorer -> Azure), or the ServiceBusExplorer open source program to send test JSON messages to Apple. It works, half the time, and the other half of the time I
receive the error above.
Steps to reproduce:
Open Visual Studio --> Server Explorer --> Azure. It points to my trial account.
Context-click on my Notification Hub a pick "Diagnose"
Under Device Registrations, I delete any registrations I've previously accumulated. There are now no device registrations.
Delete and re-install the test app on the iPhone (iOS 8)
Launch the test app. A new registration appears in the notification hub. The type is "Native." (I've also had problems with "Template.")
Go to the Test Send tab; Recipient: Broadcast; Message Type: Apple (Default)
I am using the default, sample notification (but I get similar outcomes with other JSON messages):
{"aps":{"alert":"Notification Hub test notification"}}
Hit "Send"; It fails. Under "Message Result:," for my single registration I have this error message: "The Push Notification System returned an Internal Server Error"
Wait 90 seconds, hit Send again. The notification works, it appears on the phone, the message result is "The Notification was successfully sent to the Push Notification System"
Wait another 90 seconds, hit Send again. The notification fails
with the same Internal Server Error that it did the first time.
Wait another 90 seconds, hit Send again. It works perfectly just like it did on the second attempt.
Overall it is working about half the time. In the example above, it worked every-other time, but this is not always the case--it can succeed multiple times in a row or fail multiple times in a row. I'm not changing the JSON at all between
the above test messages. Even if I vary the JSON, I get the same outcome. I get similar outcomes regardless of whether I do the testing through Visual Studio (above), the Azure portal (the DEBUG tab), or through the ServiceBusExplorer program.
What is causing this? How do I troubleshoot this?

Hi David,
I don't have an answer for you, but I wanted to chime in because I am having problems as well. I get the same "The Push Notification System returned an Internal Server Error" message trying to send a test push via either the Debug tab in the manage.windowsazure.com
console or in Visual Studio.
I have been focused on troubleshooting this problem since yesterday (Saturday February 21) but I believe it has been happening quite a bit longer.
At one point I was able to get some notifications through after clearing all the registrations, but now it is failing again. I have had the same certificate since last April (2014) and it has worked fine, so I know the certificate setup is good.
More data points:
using the SimplePush PHP script from
raywenderlich.com with the same certificate, the notifications go through immediately.
Normally we send notifications from our Mobile Service using the Javascript backend, and it gets a "success" response from the Notification Hub even when it fails, e.g.
{"isSuccessful":true,"statusCode":201,"body":"","headers":{"transfer-encoding":"chunked","content-type":"application/xml; charset=utf-8","server":"Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0","date":"Sun,
22 Feb 2015 05:05:20 GMT"}}
We have another notification hub with our production certificate, and it seems to be working better.

[SOLVED] Netbeans - Run fails - most of the time

Hello everybody,
I have just today installed Netbeans Verion 7.0 and all plugins are up to date.
I have a strage error with a simple "Hello World" program:
The program builds always fine, but it runs just in about 1 of 5 tries.
Here are some screenshots:

I also realized, that when I choose "Debug / Debug Main Project" this works all the time.
Any suggestions?

just found a workaround here:

Profile, uncheck "Show profiling indicators during run".
solved the problem.

IE not using some CSS or JS files, some of the time..

I'm working with a client trying to solve a problem that just started on a site I built for her. The problem started about three weeks ago.
It's a really simple ASP.NET site: http://nancyjoart.com/ One master page loads a common CSS bundle and JS bundle on all pages, however I used to have then unbundled and only bundled them to try to limit the
problem. It didn't work, but I left the bundles as they do speed the site up.
One machine on her network constantly fails, a surface pro 2, Windows 8.1, IE11, all updates installed. Short story: On four pages, two public and two privately accessed, IE doesn't apply a CSS or run the javascript in the bundle.
Here are the two public pages that fail:
http://nancyjoart.com/default.aspx and
http://nancyjoart.com/gallery.aspx
If the NAV bar at the top has blue links instead of grey/black, the CSS didn't load. If the page has no art and shows the loading GIF, or no images, the JS didn't load.
Now the fun and amazing part: the CSS that doesn't work on these four pages, is successfully used and works on every other page.
The CSS and JS files do actually get requested and downloaded by IE, as evidenced by a Network Monitor trace session and the F12 tools, but don't get applied (CSS) or loaded(JS) on these pages.
Now it gets weirder: I can run the site fine on my Surface RT and my Pro2 from anywhere else without fail. However, if I'm on her wifi - only half the time I can't get the scripts to run or that one CSS to apply. I press CTRL+R and
they work fine when the page reloads, but only half the time. In fact, it took me about a half an hour to experience the failure. Once it happened, my dev machine would exhibit the problem, then it would work, then it would fail.
In terms of the JS - When it fails, the debugger indicates a class isn't found. IE has parsed and downloaded that JS file, and shows the file in the debugger file list dropdown - but doesn't seem to use it.
Even more odd, the request and responses all appear to happen quickly, all have 200 OK/Success results and the request and response headers look completely normal. I've even saved the JS file itself and binary compared it to what I have on the server,
and it matches, so it isn't somehow getting mangled in-transit. Even more odd than this little oddity is that once the files are requested and "fail", even if you switch to a cellular connection, the next page loads, and IE doesn't NOT load
the files correctly either. CTRL+R eventually will get it to work on this new connection type though.
Other things I've tried:
Works on her wifi on: iPhone, Windows Phone 8.1, Windows Phone 8, Windows Phone 7, Blackberry (Bold and Playbook) and her Windows 7 desktop. I've put Firefox on her machine, and it works fine every time. Anything in this list never
fails, ever except ie11 on the surfaces.
Her surface is pretty much OOB in terms of apps. Just Modern apps installed.
My surface pro 2 dev machine is OOB too. used daily for development - Again, site works everywhere but her wifi.
Minifying the CSS or JS doesn't seem to help,
Chkdsk reports nothing,
Windows Defender is the only AV installed,
all Windows updates are installed,
Bundling the css and JS with webgrease didn't help,
I've reset the IE advanced settings, security settings, cleared the cache, tried inPrivate, tried making it trusted, nothing worked.
even reset the wifi router
She reports other websites all work fine. (** caveat: not sure how complicated these sites are, or how frequently she does this...)
Does anyone have any suggestions that they'd try next if they were in my sad shoes?

you are sending back the wrong mime-type + it appears that you are not using response.close after streaming back the image in your asp.net code behind.
Open a new window in IE... copy and paste
http://nancyjoart.com/api/art/ThumbImage/fb958270-8c20-46e9-9adf-05ef6990ec85/250
in the address bar... the image loads but the document.readyState does not reach loaded. there is no EOF in the response body and it is served as text/html not image/jpg.
ensure Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"... (IE has security settings for mime types) and also that Tracking Protection is turned off for the site (Tools>Tracking protection)
+ the defer attribute on the <script> tag only applies to script tags with a src attribute... validate and correct your markup errors at validator.w3.org.

_DESCRegisterDockExtraClient failed Error All The Time

Can someone please tell me why I keep getting this error in my console log so often:
_DESCRegisterDockExtraClient failed
My iMac stalls at startup when it does this so I immediately know for sure that I will see the error in the console log once the iMac has booted. It doesn't happen every time I startup. It seems like the iMac goes through "phases" where it will do this on every startup for a couple of days, then it doesn't do it at all for a week. I've checked the hardware and software with Disk Utility, TechTool Pro 5, checked all the RAM, reset PRAM, reset SMU - done everything in the book including starting up from the Leopard startup CD and running AHT. No problems reported.
Thanks to anyone who can tell me what this means and why it happens. Below is a search for the times it has happened in the past 5 weeks:

HI Gerard,
Since this doesn't happen everytime you start the Mac, if you can, go to System Preferences/Accounts - Login Items. Delete any login items listed and restart the Mac.
And go to: MacintoshHD/Library/Startup Items. Delete any files there.
Try starting up with only the necessary external hardware. Disconnect printers / scanners... etc. and see if that makes a difference.
Try starting up in Mac OS X: Startup in Safe Mode
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

I have dragged soem of my Time Machine folders into the Trash. Now when I try to empty the Trash it says it cannot empty some of the files because the applicaitons are running.
What can I do to delete them and completely empty the Trash.
NOTE: the Trash is on my iMac, not the Time Machine backup drive.
Thanks!

Why does rsync -Pauv fail to preserve the time stamp?

I'm trying to backup files to a USB HDD using rsync. I specify -a, which as I understand it should preserve all the file attributes including the time stamp, but the time stamp of all the files on the USB HDD is the time they were copied.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
-Brad

Shoot, I did not send that particular rsync to a log file. I have logs of other file transfers, and could setup some tests. Anything in particular I should look for?
FYI, on a somewhat related note, I found out the hard way that using '*' after the last / in the path causes rsync to skip hidden folders and files in the specified folder.
For example,
rsync -Pauv /home/me/* /media/usbdrive/me
will skip any hidden files or folders in /home/me
rsync -Pauv /home/me/ /media/usbdrive/me
will act on hidden files and folders in /home/me
That may be a "duh" to a lot of users in this forum, but it was eye-opening for someone like me who has been brain-washed by Billy for the last 25 years.

Macbook Air internet fails 50% of the time.

I'm a first time mac owner and currently very dissatisfied. I've had my MBA for about 3 months now, its running 10.7.4 Lion and it was running fine for a long while. recently I have been having issues where I launch safari and the system hangs, the page either doesn't load or takes 20-30 minutes to load. It takes days for my email to sync/download. the system is nearly unsuable.
What I have done to try and make it work:
- bought a wifi repeater to extend signal range/strength
- boosted both router and repeater with 14-20Db antenne
- run dead run wired connection through my house and use ethernet USB adapter
- On the computer, turned wifi on and off, The issues is persistant with wired connection too.
- Turn off bluetooth and remove bluetooth devices
- ensure connection in network manager, I have connection via both wifi and eithernet, both DHCP's are verified and they work perfectly over the internal network.
I know the external network is not an issue, I have 3 Win7 machines, 4 android devices, an ipod touch, and 2 Ubuntu servers connected. Professonally I'm a network administrator , I know my house is wired correctly and recieving proper signal.
Additionally will this problem be solved if I upgrade to Mountain Lion? I upgraded the system very early on. That is about the time the problems started. The wifi issues were bad enough to make me revert back to 10.7.4.
I've been beating my head aginst a wall for 3 months. Really dissatisfied that I have a 1000 dollar system that only works 50% of the time.
~Casey

Connect via Ethernet and turn Wi-Fi off. Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results.

Paste option fails 50% of the time using iSupport via FireFox

At my job we use the iSupport online ticketing system via FireFox. However within the past year or so, the following has been happening:
If I have a piece of text I’ve copied, (for example the word ‘test’), and then I paste it into either of the above fields while creating any kind of ticket (Incident, Problem, etc), half of the time it will paste in said text, however the other half it will simply jump to the next line, like someone pressed the Enter key instead of paste. For example, if I want to paste something 4 times, I would get: proper paste, line jump, proper paste, line jump. It’s immediately reproducible.
Troubleshooting: This does not happen in Internet Explorer or Chrome. It appears related specifically to FireFox code because another browser I use, Waterfox, which is a 64 bit build of FireFox, suffers from the same problem. Starting FireFox in safe mode with no addons yield the same results. This also happens on multiple computers. We have been using iSupport for at least a year now and I believe that this wasn’t happening when we first started using it, so I’m not sure if a change in iSupport is the culprit, or FireFox is.
Please let me know if you are familiar with this problem and what I might be able to do to get this fixed, as it’s insanely annoying while trying to get tickets completed. Thank you.
Here is a screenshot of what our normal ticket window looks like, someone from Mozilla might be familiar with it: http://i.imgur.com/nxurtM5.png

Some of the time the back button is greyed out when i have clicked on a new link. It's not a new window or tab, and the page I came from is not even in my history!

At first I thought I had unknowingly gone to a new tab or window, but that's not it. I haven't ruled out that I have completely lost my mind, but I'm really hoping that's not the problem, although with win 7 that seems more and more likely all the time. It seems to happen at random. I tired holding down or right clicking the back button but there is nothing. The fact that the page I came from is gone from the history seems really strange.
Sorry for the duplicate post, see this topic: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/807937

This issue can be caused by the McAfee SiteAdvisor extension.
