  • Bizarre Error with backwards play button

    I am getting this bizarre error message that appears with a backwards play button and tells me "This computer will reboot in 5 minutes AFTER YOU CLICK OK. Please save everything you are working on and log out by choosing Log Out at the bottom of the Apple Menu." It appeared about a week ago and after I rebooted, I lost all of the icons in the menu bar at the upper right. I was able to get all of the icons back but now am seeing this error again. So far, it seems like it can be ignored, but I'm not sure if it will continue letting me do so. Screenshot of the issue is below.

    I'm confused by what this means, "I've tried eliminating the initial stop(); script, but then it doesn't play the movie at all and just goes to the next frame." It would seem that going to the next frame would be the movie playing? But in any event, yes, if your remove the stop then there is no reason for the playhead to stop on that screen and so it would just keep going AND in 4 seconds (more or less) it would also execute that function so you would be in a world of hurt.
    As for the my_timedProcess variable. That is just a number that will allow you to stop the 4 (more or less) second wait. Suppose you had a replay button that allowed the welcome to be played again. Well in that case you would want to stop the function from getting called during the replay so you could add some code to the replay button like this:
    clearTimeout(my_timedProcess);
    Also it seems a little strange that you are passing your function the number 1. Why are you doing that? You don't seem to be using arg1.
    Finally onto your real reason for posting. I have no idea why that wouldn't work. Have you tried it with IE6 on a non-hand held device? Is the real problem the 6-ness or the mobile-ness?
    Back in the day when IE 6 was more common there were occasional cache/timing issues that could often be very tricky to diagnose. Are you sure that all your content has loaded?
    Are you sure that your client has the correct Flash plugin installed for IE 6 on their device? Many times the, "It doesn't work on this one platform/computer/for this one person" issue is really that the person doesn't have the correct plug-in installed -- EVEN WHEN they swear they do. Really you would be surprised at how often that is the case.
    Other than that I don't know what could be causing it.

  • For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

    Greetings Heather,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Podcasts app. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

  • My iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?

    Hello Friends,
    I've two iPod Nanos (4th gen - 8GB). I'm facing a severe problem with both of them. For both iPods, I tried to do this method Simultaneously press the top button + home (central) button. But of no use.
    1. My first iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?
    2. My second iPod is facing more severe problem. None of the buttons are working. When I connect it my PC it showing "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting". But it is not ejecting with all the usual methods. When I manually and physically disconnect it from the PC the same "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting" is still showing till the battery goes off. After that if i press any button it is showing low battery signal. And when i re-connect it to the PC the same process is repeating. When I tied to restore it to the factory settings I'm getting "Error" report.
    (I'm using windows 7)
    Friends, Please help me with the above problems. It will be a great help.
    Thank You.

    Sounds like some hardware issues, meaning you'll want to take or send the iPods in for service or repairs. You can choose to have Apple do an out of warranty exchange for the prices indicated in the link below or find another third party service perhaps even local to your area.

  • Upgraded to itunes 8.0 - Purchased Songs now wont play - no error message.

    Upgraded to itunes 8.0 - Purchased Songs now wont play - no error message.

    You are in that awful authorization loop.
    Here are some steps to try.
    1. Deauthorize, then reauthorize your PC - it might be using multiple authorizations and this article shows you how to fix that.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206
    And make sure you authorize for all iTS accounts, even that old one from 3 years ago you may have forgotten about.
    2. Delete the SC Info folder. The entire folder, not just the file. It will get rebuilt the next time you start iTunes. Don't forget to restart your PC, as the article says.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    3. Get a free single of the week, which has the latest DRM on it, and play a few seconds of it. Sometimes the latest song of the week fixes everything.
    And if that doesn't work, contact iTS support from this page - use the Contact Us button.
    They will tell you to do the same things; reply back to their canned response.

  • Has the play button in album view stopped working?

    The play button in album view doesn't work.  Hasn't worked for the last two releases.  I'm on iTunes 11.1.1.  Apple suggested reloading all of my CDs.  (Not a viable solution--there are hundreds of them...)  They thought it might have something to do with recent changes related to AppleID/iCloud.  Also unable to add entire album to up next list.  I am able to play from songs view.

    Never mind.  Found the answer here:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/21484039#21484039

  • I can't link up the play button in Encore

    I just want one button, THE PLAY Button.
    The project has no errors and will allow a build.
    Then When I add a button It will not link.

    If you added a background, you must have a menu. So I'm going to assume you have the very basic question of how you link a button to a timeline. See screenshots.
    On the left is the project panel, with a menu, an asset (the video file with the .wmv extension), and a timeline. The middle panel is the menu viewer, where one of the buttons is selected. The right panel is the properties panel where you can see the properties of the selected object, here a button.
    In the first screenshot, the section for "Link" is empty. In the second screenshot, you can see that the "pickwhip" has been used to drag from the link to the timeline. (You link to a timeline, not to the asset.) In the third screenshot, you can see the button properties for link, now shows the timeline.

  • How to Show new Form when play button click?

    Hai all,
    i have 3 file. the first is quiz.as that contain two button. play and invite friend.quiz.fla. and quizapp.***. when i click play button i want to show the quiz that store in quizapp.as. int the quiz.as i have the mouse event that call quiapp.but when i run i got an error:

    whereas, in my quiz.fla library i have drag the button into my library but the error show nuul object reference for the button that i have created. can you help me to give some advice or sample code??

    Can you please elaborate more as the problem is not quite clear.
    However if you have the button instances placed on the stage already check if you have tick the "automatically declare stage instances" in your publish settings.
    Attach your code in a zip on this forum may be we can solve it then.
    P.S. :- Also you can access these buttons available in stage only in the document class.

  • Simple Play Button Help

    Hi, I'm really new to flash and I have just completed an animation.  I would like to add a play button at the beginning of the animation that plays the whole thing through.  My buttons name is playbutton_btn and all the animation starts on frame 2 (frame one is a blank frame in all layers but the actionscript on the button.)  here is the code I have so far (in the first frame of the animation.
    stop();
    playbutton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playit);
    function playit(event:MouseEvent):void {
        gotoAndPlay(2);
    This is in the hope that it will stop when played and prompt the viewer with the play button screen and when clicked play the animation through to the finish.
    I get the error:
    1120: Access of undefined property playbutton_btn.
    If anyone could give me a hand or point me in the right direction that would be great:).
    Cheers.

    Since the error you are getting isn't the error I would expect for what I am having you check anyways, I have a suspiscion that you need to go into your Flash Publish Settings and be sure to select AS3 as the actionscript version.  I suspect it is not currently so.

  • Trying to create Large Play button on Flash CS4

    Hello,
    I am trying to create the following: (using someone elses post from another board)
    "I am wondering if there is a way to hide the FLVPlayback skin until a certain event happens. Let me explain.
    I have an instance of the flvplayback component in my movie. I have the player skin set to "autohide" and "autoplay" set to false. Instead of having users click on the play button of the skin to start the movie I have incorporated a larger play button in the middle of the screen. The set back here is that when a user mouses over the movie to click on the larger play button the flvplayback skin appears as well.
    I'd like to basically tell the skin "Hey don't appear on mouseover until AFTER the large play button is pressed." What code would I need for this in Actionscript 3?"
    I am curious if someone can teach how to embed a regular .swf movie file into the
    "example" code, which was also posted here
    (http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=323702)
    I have very limited coding skills and very much appreciate the assistance.
    Rod

    You are looking for the visible property I believe.
    At the beginning of your code, set:
    myFLVPlayer._visible = false;
    to set it invisible (replacing "myFLVPlayer" with your components name ocourse)
    Then, onRelease of your button, set:
    myFLVPlayer._visible = true;
    to make it visible again.
    EDIT
    I just looked at your code in the other forum, and here is your onRelease function fixed:
    video_mc.video._visible = false;
    video_mc.bigButton_mc.onRelease = function(){
    video_mc.bigButton_mc._visible = false;
    video_mc.video._visible = true;
    video_mc.video.play();

  • Flash movies with play button don't work

    I have the 'simple' problem that everytime I see a "play" button on a web page with flash content, clicking on it won't start the movie.  However, e.g. YouTube movies work fine. So it seems it's just movies that do not start automatically after clicking on a link.
    Also, checking the flash player e.g. at the Adobe site (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html), tells me in a flash box I have the latest flash player installed, and I see the  flash movie 'flash player is running on your system' with the red ball rolling in it.
    I have the same problem for both google Chrome and for IE.
    I still have an old Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook with Win XP (latest updates) and ATI mobility Radeon X300 graphics chip, for which I also installed the latest available drivers.
    Experimenting with Flash Player settings was unsuccessful so far (e.g. no hardware acceleration, clearing all internet data in the Flash Player global settings tool).
    My desktop (also with Win XP and with the same browsers and Flash Players/Flash Plugins installed works fine...).
    I also know that it worked at an earlier time with this NB...
    I managed to run the movie with a Linux Live CD but that is not what I want to do every time...
    Any idea is highly appreciated.....

    Hi BalusC, i have saved the datamodel (a ArrayList) in SessionBean. It can't be null. The rows of table display correct. I don't understand, why functions buttons with ObjectArrayDataProvider, but not with ObjectListDataProvider?

  • How to set target to Play button on begining DVD

    Man you dont use this program for a few months and you gotta take a course on it all over again.
    Ive completely forgotten how to set the PLAY button to activate at the beginning of the DVD. As in I was burning several DVDs and I tested them on my computer, and they worked fine. But the whole time I was using my mouse to navigate (I only put in one button "PLAY"). When at one point I happened to use the DVD navigator I realized I hadnt set it for a stand alone. So while if you watched it on a computer and were using your mouse you could hit the play button. But on a stand alone you cant get to it with a remote.
    I remember it being a simply thing, but for the life of me I cant figure it out. HELP!

    So are you talking about moving between the buttons on a menu screen (i.e. navigation in the menu) or are you saying you can't get the button to activate any video? Or both?
    The first issue is sorted out with the 'Settings' drop down box and choosing 'assign buttons now' or 'auto assign buttons' (but this slows down the menu creation and gets really frustrating at times). You should then be able to get to the menu (which will have the first button highlighted and ready by default) and then use the handset to move from button to button.
    The second bit is setting the target for the button - where it goes to once you select and activate it. Open up your menu in DVDSP and click on the buttons in turn. Look in the property inspector for the 'target' and make sure that each button is going where you intend.
    Alternatively, use the connections tab - this is far faster, IMO, but is slightly more abstract in concept...
    If you have done these things and you still cannot get to the button using the remote control then there is something else wrong - it could be that you simply forgot to create a button but have the text there ready... without the button rectangle being drawn out over the text (or next to it) there will be no button and no way to activate anything.

  • How can I prevent Aperture from playing slideshow when hitting the play button on the keyboard?

    I am getting a bit frustrated by the fact that the play button on the keyboard, which I use all the time for controlling audio playback in iTunes and now Spotify, is assigned to starting the slideshow in Aperture. Playing a slideshow is something I never use, and is something that causes the beachball of death to appear every time. It does not make sense to me that the slideshow overrules the audio playback in iTunes. Help is much appreciated...

    In Aperture the keyboard shortcuts are defined in the Command Editor.
    To open the Command Editor,  go to the Aperture menu -> Commands -> Customize
    and in the search field enter "slideshow". Remove or replace the key binding you find there, if it is the one you want to use in iTunes.

  • I have noticed an issue with utilizing the "stream" function on iOS 7. If you choose to just stream the movie by hitting the play button it seems to actually start downloading (which is fine) but if you are say halfway thru the movie and stop you can clea

    I have noticed an issue with utilizing the “stream” function on iOS 7. If you choose to just stream the movie by hitting the play button it seems to actually start downloading (which is fine) but if you are say halfway thru the movie and stop you can clearly see that storage has been reduced under the usage, yet under the “videos” tab it still states “No Data” the only way to delete what you have partially downloaded is to fully download the video, which is fine but there is no way to tell what videos have been partially downloaded (I.e which occurs a lot when your child switches between movies using the so called “stream” function). This becomes troublesome once the capacity of the ipad is almost met and you have no way to delete this data since you may have several videos that have started to be viewed (hence partially downloaded). Apple needs to somehow make it truly streaming or provide an update so the storage can be managed. The only way I have been able to remove partially downloaded videos is by doing a total software restore. (The video data that is in question when connected to my MacBook shows up in iTunes as “other”) if you have any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Here are the screenshots for what it's worth.

    '''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
    IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
    I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.

  • Music won't play - play button flashes  ipod touch 3rd gen

    Strange thing:
    Yesterday, all was fine--music played normally. Today, when I try to play music, the play button (the arrow), just flashes a pause button and goes right back to the play button. No music can be played. It's as if the PLAY button is stuck (?)
    Sound from other apps work fine.
    Nothing new was downloaded, no apps, no syncs, nothing. Running v. 3.1.3
    I have tried toggling various settings, searching the internet for similar issues, but to no avail.
    I cannot upgrade versions or restore settings at the moment but I am not convinced that will solve the issue. Why? Because a few months ago, my boyfriend has the same issue! One day it worked and the next day, nothing.
    At some point after we figured it is "broken", it began to work again! We have no idea how it magically restarted working. Unfortunately, mine has not magically restarted, so I hope someone in the forums can help. Please post if you have had a similar issue. I need this for my work!!

    Basics from the manual are.
    Restart.
    Reset.
    Restore.
    Have you tried any of these?
