Please help with simple Drag N Drop

I’m desperate and need some help with this simple drag
and drop. Here is the scenario…this animation is for a
kindergarten course. I have 6 different colored teddy bears on the
floor and the bears are to be placed on the middle shelf in the
room, in no particular order. I have the code in place to drag the
bears, and they return to their original location if dropped in the
wrong area. Everything works, except I can’t make the bears
stick to the target area. The target area has to be the same for
all 6 bears. Can someone help me out with this?
I have a feeling that the problem has something to do with my
instance names, but I have tried everything I can think of and
cannot get it to work. Is there some way I can post, send, or
attach my .fla file for someone to look at? I’m desperate.

PLEASE HELP WITH SIMPLE RESET QUESTION!!!

This is probably extremely simple to resolve...my Nano is not syncing with my computer any more. I thought I should try resetting it. I looked at the manual and pressed MENU and the CENTRE BUTTON at the same time and waited for the Apple logo to appear. I tried several times but it did not work!
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG, PLEASE??

When you restore the ipod, you need to press the menu and select (centre) button together for about 6 seconds. Try to be sure that your finger on the centre button does not touch the wheel part, and that the one on the menu button is closer to the outside edge.

Please help with slicing question

I'm new to FW and to slicing. I have tried to get all of the info from tutorials and the help that I could.I'm still confused.I'm trying to produce a multi page website mockup with FW using export to CSS and Images.
I've submitted two other posts with 0 replies. I guess my questions were too broad? I've done some trial and error and tried testing with a simplified version of the multi page website mockup I'm trying to produce. See the simplified file here:
http://www.openrangeimaging.com/test-posts/slicetest01.png
The top area would be the header. The lower bar will have some nav tabs. The circle is to be a logo that if clicked on will take the user to the home page.. Below the nav bar is to be two columns with content.
I have tried different ways of slicing this but cannot get the file to export correctly as CSS and Images. I also can't seem to include the logo as a slice with a link without getting the "overlap" problem. I have been beating myself against this for some time and have not had any success. Any help or advice on where to get help or any reply at all will be most appreciated. Thanks!

Great, my entire message was wiped out. Here it is again:

Jim, thank you for your very helpful reply!
Honestly I wouldn't even try to directly export this design from FW to a CSS based layout. I think I'd move a lot faster by exporting the graphics from FW and building the design in DW.<<
This is what I needed to know. Being new to FW I was mistakenly assuming that I could use the Images and CSS to export a clicklable mockup that would also form the html/css basis of the 15 page site I'm designing. I thought that this was possible if only I could figure out how. I expected some pretty involved work in Dreamweaver would be needed. I now understand that for what I'm doing using the HTML and Images is what should be used. Then I develop the site in Dreamweaver using perhaps some images exported from the FW mockup, but not any html or css. Thank you for clearing that up for me! I knew i had some fundamental/core misunderstanding. The export to Images and CSS is only for very simple design.
JB - It IS possible, but you have to design the site based on certain practices. Overlapping slices is one thing to avoid.
. If you're new to Fireworks, you really want to keep things simple as you learn the process. Regardless, a solid knowledge of HTML and CSS is very important.<<
Yes I'd like to keep it simple but this is a bit of trial by fire (pun intended) on a project. I have gotten books and other tutorial type stuff on html and css. I would not call my knowledge of it solid as I am new to it. i think I get the gist of it and am determined to become proficient. The only real way to do that is to actually create something/gotta start somewhere so.......
JB - getting the "gist" isn't enough. If you do not have a solid grounding in HTML and CSS, you will likely run into trouble even IF you successfully export the design, because you will need to to edit and tweak the code once you're in DW. I'd recommend building your first sites "the old fashioned way" first, before trying to automate the process.
David Hogue has created a great series of CSS export videos on the Fireworks Dev Center. I strongly recommend watching them. Likewise Michel Bozgounov has written an excellent article on setting up a Fireworks document for CSS export:<<
I had viewed a number of Dave H's tutorials. I somehow overlooked the ones that you provided a link to. I'm going to watch them straight away. I had read the Article by Michel B. also excellent. I have also read your excellent tutorials and watched your lynda.com video training. I've gained allot from all of this.
Thanks again for your help!

Please help with simple Classes understanding

Working further to understand Class formation, and basics.
At the Java Threads Tutorial site:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/threads/timer.html
Goal:
1)To take the following code, and make it into 2 seperate files.
Reminder.java
RemindTask.java
2)Error Free
Here is the original, functioning code:
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
* Simple demo that uses java.util.Timer to schedule a task
* to execute once 5 seconds have passed.
* http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/threads/timer.html
public class Reminder {

    public Reminder(int seconds) {
        timer = new Timer();
        timer.schedule(new RemindTask(), seconds*1000);
    class RemindTask extends TimerTask {
        public void run() {
            System.out.println("Time's up!");
            timer.cancel(); //Terminate the timer thread
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        new Reminder(5);
        System.out.println("Task scheduled.");
}Here is what I tried to 2 so far, seperate into 2 seperate files:
Reminder.java

import java.util.TimerTask;
* Simple demo that uses java.util.Timer to schedule a task

}After executing Reminder, the program does perform, even does the timing, however, a NullPointerException error is thrown in the RemindTask class because of this line:
timer.cancel(); //Terminate the timer thread
I am not sure of:
If I have packages/import statements setup correctly
If I have the "Timer" variable setup incorrectly/wrong spot.
...how to fix the problem(s)
Thank you!

Hi there!
I understand that somehow the original "Timer" must
be referenced.
This is a major point of confusion for me....I
thought that when importing
Classes from the same package/other packages, you
would have directly
access to the variables within the imported Classes.I think you have one of the basic points of confussion. You are mixing up the concept of a "Class" with the concept of an "Object".
Now, first of all, you do not need packages at all for what you are trying to do, so my advice is you completely forget about packages for the moment, they will only mess you up more. Simply place both .class files (compiled .java files) in the same directory. Your program is executing fine, so that indicates that the directory in which you have your main class file is being included in your classpath, so the JVM will find any class file you place there.
As for Classes/Objects, think of the Class as the map in which the structure of a building is designed, and think of the Object as the building itself. Using the same technical map the architect defines, you could build as many buildings as you wanted. They could each have different colors, different types of doors, different window decorations, etc... but they would all have the same basic structure: the one defined in the technical map. So, the technical map is the Class, and each of the buildings is an object. In Java terminology, you would say that each of the buildings is an "Instance" of the Class.
Lets take a simpler example with a class representing icecreams. Imagine you code the following class:
public class Icecream{
     String flavor;
     boolean hasChocoChips;
}Ok, with this code, what you're doing is defining the "structure" of an icecream. You can see that we have two variables in our class: a String variable with the description of the icecream's flavor, and a boolean variable indicating whether or not the icecream has chocolate chips. However, with that code you are not actually CREATING those variables (that is, allocating memory space for that data). All you are doing is saying that EACH icecream which is created will have those two variables. As I mentioned before, in Java terminology, creating an icecream would be instantiating an Icrecream object from the Icecream class.
Ok, so lets make icrecream!!!
Ummm... Why would we want to make several icecreams? Well, lets assume we have an icecream store:
public class IcecreamStore{
}Now, we want to sell icecreams, so lets put icecreams in our icecream store:
public class IcecreamStore{
     Icecream strawberryIcecream = new Icecream(); //This is an object, it's an instance of Class Icecream
     Icecream lemonIcecream = new Icecream(); //This is another object, it's an instance of Class Icecream
}By creating the two Icecream objects you have actually created (allocated memory space) the String and boolean variable for EACH of those icecreams. So you have actually created two String variables and two boolean variables.
And how do we reference variables, objects, etc...?
Well, we're selling icecreams, so lets create an icecream salesman:
public class IcecreamSalesMan{
}Our icecream salesman wants to sell icecreams, so lets give him a store. Lets say that each icecream store can only hold 3 icecreams. We could then define the IcecreamStore class as follows:
public class IcecreamStore{
     Icecream icecream1;
     Icecream icecream2;
     Icecream icecream3;
}Now lets modify our IcecreamSalesMan class to give the guy an icecream store:
public class IcecreamSalesMan{
     IcecreamStore store = new IcecreamStore();
}Ok, so now we have within our IcecreamSalesMan class a variable, called "store" which is itself an object (an instance) of the calss IcecreamStore.
Now, as defined above, our IcecreamStore class will have three Icecream objects. Indirectly, our icecream salesman has now three icecreams, since he has an IcecreamStore object which in turn holds three Icecream objects.
On the other hand, our good old salesman wants the three icecreams in his store to be chocolate, strawberry, and orange flavored. And he wants the two first icecreams to have chocolate chips, but not the third one. Well, here's the whole thing in java language:
public class Icecream{ //define the Icecream class
     String flavor;
     boolean hasChocoChips;
public class IcecreamStore{ //define the IcecreamStore class
     //Each icecream store will have three icecreams
     Icecream icecream1 = new Icecream(); //Create an Icecream object
     Icecream icecream2 = new Icecream(); //Create another Icecream object
     Icecream icecream3 = new Icecream(); //Create another Icecream object
public class IcecreamSalesMan{ //this is our main (executable) class
     IcecreamStore store; //Our class has a variable which is an IcecreamStore object
     public void main(String args[]){
          store = new IcecreamStore(); //Create the store object (which itself will have 3 Icecream objects)
          /*Put the flavors and chocolate chips:*/
          store.icecream1.flavor = "Chocolate"; //Variable "flavor" of variable "icecream1" of variable "store"
          store.icecream2.flavor = "Strawberry"; //Variable "flavor" of variable "icecream2" of variable "store"
          store.icecream3.flavor = "Orange";
          store.icecream1.hasChocoChips = true;
          store.icecream2.hasChocoChips = true;
          store.icecream3.hasChocoChips = false;
}And, retaking your original question, each of these three classes (Icecream, IcecreamStore, and IcecreamSalesMan) could be in a different .java file, and the program would work just fine. No need for packages!
I'm sorry if you already knew all this and I just gave you a stupid lecture, but from your post I got the impression that you didn't have these concepts very clear. Otherwise, if you got the point, I'll let your extrapolate it to your own code. Should be a pice of cake!

Blackberry Virgin - Please help with these questions

Hi there
I have just received my Blackberry 8900 and have a few questions if anyone can help:
- Is there any way of having a clock display whilst the phone is on "sleep" mode. I use my phone to keep track of time alot so is there anyway of having the clock permanently displayed when phone is not in use?
- I cant seem to be able to send a contact by SMS which seems a bit strange. Usually with my old phones I have been able to click on the Contact and access a "Send contact by text" option.
- The track ball I find a bit uncomfortable to use especially when having to click it, are there other navigation type pads on other phones rather than track ball?
- I am not currently connected to internet and wont be until next week when my new billing system starts. Can I use IM without internet access?
Thats it for starters! Thanks in advance for your help

Please help me!! Nobody can help you unless you have shown the willingness to learn and are seeking help only where you are stuck.
My assignment is due in 2 days That doesn't matter to people over here.
hese are practice questions and not part of the actual assignment so dont hesitate to provide the answer!!Doesnt matter again. what you have posted here is a problem text without any effort on your part to understand it or implement it. That is an assignment to us and we did our Java assignments for our course work long time ago.
Bottom line - learn Java. If your course is not helping you with that, find a different course.

Please help with basic questions

I hardly ever use flash, as i'm always ending up kicking
stuff out of sheer frustration. Just like with Quark Xpress, in
Flash there seem to be several 'layers' between what my intuition
tells me should work, and the actual execution of the things i want
to achieve. But nevermind, I'm just severely annoyed.
I got 10 buttons, with a graphic as bottomlayer, and a number
(1-10). Isn't it possible to turn the first button into a symbol,
and then make copies where i just have to change the number? For
now it doesn't matter if i copy/paste them or drag them from the
library, when i copy the button and try to change the number in the
copy, then the number in the 'original' changes as well.
Do i really have to 'make' each button from scratch?
This might seem like a very basic question, but i'm really
bangin my head into the wall here. And theres tons og issues like
that in Flash - for me at least - like if i say 'paste in place',
things get pasted some random place on the canvas (anywhere but in
place). If i convert to symbol, the referencepoint (or the point
which it's supposed to rotate around) seems randomly choosen as
well - at least it's never where i told it to be in the appropriate
dialog.
HELP! :-(

Go to the library and there should be an arrow in the corner
that gives you options. One option is "duplicate symbol." Duplicate
your button and give it a new name, then make the changes.

Hello to all! Please help with the question from China!!!Thanks a lot!

I am a real beginner on Java studing and I try to learn this all by myself.I had read some books translated from English format.But I dont think they were translated good enough.Sometime the meaning translated from English is totally different from what the Author want to express.So can you help to recommend some good English books for the beginner.I want to get start my studing on these books.Thanks in advance.

I used Thinking in Java 2 by Horton. I see there's an upcoming edition covering the new version 5 of Java,
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764568744/qid=1103190687/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-0972736-0816625?v=glance&s=books
In addition to the above I also bought The Java Programming Language by Gosling and others. It's not a tutorial. Instead it offers much in-depth information on why things are the way the are in Java. I didn't use much at first and found it quite impenetrable, but now I use it all the time especially when answering so called "I have a doubt" questions at this forum. -:) I think any serious Java developer should have a copy but not necessarily when starting out. The Horton tome will keep you busy for a while. And don't forget the on-line tutorials. If find the Swing tutorial especially valuable.

Possible convert to Blackberry from Palm - please help with outlook questions

I'm debating switching from a Palm Treo 800 (battery life is awful) to Blackberry Curve. I chose the Treo because of active sync with my work exchange server and ability to open Office documents.
Currently, I sync my outlook mail, tasks & calendar with work, and my contacts & notes with my home computer. So if i follow your instructions for using BIS instead of BES (my employer only provides BES service for a carrier which is not mine ...), will I be able to sync manually with a cable to my work computer for calendar & tasks and then to my home computer for contacts & notes?
I have to decide THIS WEEK if I'm going to switch from Palm to Blackberry, so please hurry! The blackberry seems like it's a lot more fun than the Palm, and your support is much more extensive and user-friendly!

Ok, so if both machines are Outlook based, I would not see a problem,
You would need 2 DM programs one at work and one at home.
For work you can specify sync for tasks and calendar, for home sync contacts and notes.
Both calendars would have to be the Outlook calendar as default.
You can the have the synced BB and would have the ability to backup on both machines, or better yet, back up on one machine to eliminate confusion. In case of failure, you have a backup of ALL data.
You wouldn't have to convert anything because Outlook is fully compatible with the Desktop Manager.
I don't see a problem.
Thanks

Please, help with simple modal progress dialog

Progress dialog will create a reader thread and block user input to main form until read is completed. It will have only a number of bytes received text message and one cancel button. It will be closed when user presses the button or thread is done with reading.
I understand the principles of IO and thread communication very well. I'm asking for modal dialog candidate. Should I override JDialog or it is possible to use JOptionPane or something else? The modal dialog should be able to register some listener to get progress messages from the reader thread.

JOptionPane should be really easy way to go, since you can pass in an Object, and that object
could be a JPanel containing your JProgressBar and any other components/layout you want.
