Possible to make QT window float on top of all others?

I want my QuickTime movie window to float on top of all the others, the way some do (like the Microsoft Office Notifications window does). Is it possible? Can a window be set to be automatically on top when another window overlaps?
Mike

Thanks - this is a really neat trick! One last question: is there a way to control the size of the QT window within the note? It seems smaller than when I open it by itself.

How can I script a Flash .exe file to always stay on top of all other windows?

Hi All,
I'm new to action script, and I just need this one script
> How can I script a Flash .exe file to always stay on top of
all other windows?
Basically what i want to do is have a flash-created
step-by-step instructional movie, but for the movie to remain on
top of all windows so the instructee is able to follow the
instructions on-screen...
It would be preferable to not have to buy another product
just to do this... as I said, this is the only scripting I need.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Rick

if you create your exe with mProjector you can use one of its
new AS
commands to do this.

Photoshop cs6 is not working in windows 7 64 bit while all other cs6 programs are working.. what should I do make it work

hi guys,
My photoshop cs6 is not working in windows 7 64 bit while all other cs6 programs are working.. what should I do make it work?
My OS is windows 7
RAM - 8gb
HDD - 1 TB

are you getting any errors?
and secondly and I know this from experience, ( but on 32 bit ) is it loaded already as in sat in task manager, but not actually get at able, killing the processes cures it or a reboot of course

Whenever I launch a new Google window, Google immediately re-opens all other windows I happen to have open but minimized. I then have to either close or re-minimize each window, one at a time. What a pain!!

Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it.

How to put a JFrame on the top of all other applications

when some message is received, I want to put an existing JFrame on the top of all other applications. So that the user knows that some message has arrived.
I tried toFront(), but it blinks the JFrame on the taskbar never comes on the top of other application.
Any ideas.
Rajesh

On Windows 98 the toFront() method works, but maybe not exactly how you expected.
There seems to be a delay of about 20 seconds.
If your frame has not been active within the last twenty seconds then the frame is displayed when the toFront() is used.
If the frame has been active within the last 20 seconds then the icon will flash.
I believe this behaviour is to prevent frames from poping up all the time. Here is a simple program that shows this behaviour:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.swing.*;
public class FrameToFront
    public static void main(String[] args)
        final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
        frame.setSize(200, 200);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
        frame.setVisible(true);
        int delay = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
        final Timer timer = new Timer(delay, new ActionListener()
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                System.out.println(new Date());
                frame.toFront();
        timer.start();
}After you start the program click on the dos window to hide the frame. Try the following two cases:
java FrameToFront 5000
java FrameToFront 20000

I have windows vista home premium and all other versions of iTunes worked on my laptop iTunes 10 won't work, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my browser configuration?

I have windows vista home premium and all other iTunes worked on my laptop, I downloaded iTunes 10 and now the iTunes will not connect to the Internet. I use Mozilla firefox on my laptop and for some reason it keeps saying the connection timed out and I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my web configuration?

It probably has to do with your security and/or browser configuration.
When my laptop crashed last year and I had to get a new one, I dealt with the same thing. First, go to your control panel and select the security section. See if your firewalls are up or not. If they are, turn them off. If you have any software to speed up your browser, that can affect the connection as well. Go into that software and disble/turn it off. If this doesn't work, contact customer support. They have a few other tricks they had me try that worked, but I can't remember them now.

Is it possible to make a windows PC an IPv6 mobile node?

Hi, I'm wondering if any one used a windows PC (XP, seven or other) as IPv6 mobile node, if anyone knows a name of any tool, please give it to me.
Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by "node" but yes, you can use netsh commands to make Windows do RA and routing.

My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for one contact. All other text messages from other individuals, including iMessage, all make appropriate alert sounds. Very frustrating. Any help out there?

My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for messages for one particular contact of mine. All other text messages come through with appropriate alert sounds. Any help out there?

As always seems to happen, the next thing you try ends up working. Well almost. I
Deleted the contact and sent a message from that phone to mine -- problem persisted
Deleted the person from my FAVORITES in the phone app (the entry still existed even though the contact had been deleted). This worked!!!
It's kind of weird that the favorites in the phone app were somehow affecting notifications in Messages for a contact that had been deleted, but there you are.

FM9: Possible to make "fit window to page" the default?

I'm using FM9, structured, on Windows 7. (My company recently upgraded from FM7.0.) In FM 7.0, my documents seemed to remember the last zoom I had set, and if I saved them having set "Fit Window to Page", the next time I opened the document that setting would be in effect.
This doesn't seem to be the case with FM9. Every time I open a document, its window fills the screen, and I need to manually fit the page to my preferred zoom (100 or 90%) from the Zoom status bar menu. There are a lot of options for tweaking preferences for windows - I have not selected to open documents as tabs, for example - and I wonder whether a preference setting is preventing the fit window to page setting from being remembered per document, or whether there is any other way I can make that the default for opening documents.
Thanks very much for your help.
-- garyZ

Still struggling with this, and the possible confounding factors, like differnet interface preference settings. Some online research I've done seems to point to this being a problem in FM9, that is, setting a default zoom and fit for all documents. There are some third-party plugins that say they can do this... but not for FM9. So maybe the answer is "upgrade to FM 10", but that isn't an option for my department at this time.
Further symptoms:
- If I open all chapters in a book together in a single tabbed window, and explicitly set the first document to Fit Window to Page, I get what I want for that document, but as soon as I choose another chapter in anotehr tab, the window widens (I show a single page only), leaving a lot of gray empty window space. I can explicitly set THAT document to Fit Window to Page, but when I click back on the first chapter I was working on, it opens wide; it has lost the Fit Window to Page I originally set for it. Working that way, any time I change tabs, and frequently when I do operations like changing the conditional text that shows, the window containing all the tabs widens. I would like to prevent that if possible.
- Even when working on individual chapters, if I set one to Fit Window to Page (a setting that held, if I subsequently saved the document, in FM7) the setting is not (consistently, it seems) remembered, and the next time I open the single chapter, the window opens wide, or maximized (23" wide monitor) as if it is trying to give me a two-page view, but I'm only working with one page views (my preference because it's what I'm used to).
- Regardless of how the files open individually (sometimes the zoom and fit seems to hold), when I open a book file, then use Open All Files In Book (having set the interface to NOT open all the files as tabs in a single window), I get this bizarre Time Tunnel effect whereby each chapter opens in a window that fits within the bounds of the previous chapter. If the first chapter opens correctly, say 100% zoom and Fit Window to Page, the second opens at 100% zoom, but fits in the first, the third within the second, and if the book has enough chapters, the last chapters are vertically tiny, not showing more than a line or two of text. So I need to manually rearrange and re-fit them all before I work on them. What a pain.
I have to say, the FM9 interface is awfully clunky. I don't know if it's implemented (partly) using Flash or what, but whole book operations like opening or closing all files, saving a book as PDF, sometimes even just switching the conditional text that is shown generally result in a frozen screen and a title bar that indicates "not responding" for a couple of minutes before FM9 gets it's act together and returns (often with windows resized and zoomed). It can be pretty frustrating to work with, and can really slow me down.
I'm using structured FM, but not DITA - in house designed EDD, probably based on docbook, but I'm not sure. FM9 is completely updated with available patches.
I've tried playing with the different Interface Preferences, to see if that helps - variously having FM open files as tabs to share the same large tabbed window, or turning that off to have them open as individual files in individual windows. I still cannot get Fit Window to Page to hold consistently. It's a relatively minor nit, but it is annoying, and gobbles extra time for me to keep resetting the working environment as I like it. I have set up a workspace for myself, but this doesn't seem to include the zoom settings, only the various palettes/panels and their states and positions.
If anyone knows of or discovers a fix to this issue, your help would be much appreciated.

Top and bottom of FireFox window disappear in seconds (the window expands too far). All other windows operate normally. Now what? I've uninstalled and reinsta

I was using Firefox for a few years with great enjoyment. Recently I opened it and within a second or so, it enlarged to the point that the top and bottom of the screen expanded off the screen. No other windows in any other program are doing this. The only way to close it is by using the task manager. Very frustrated. What other info do you need?

Hi ConnieHampton,
FIrefox will remember the last window size you had, which is why it keeps opening too large each time you open and close it. To fix this, try resetting Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changes-toolbars-and-window-sizes-are-not-saved?esab=a&s=resize+window&r=7&as=s
If you don't see your menu bar, you may be in full screen mode, and can turn it off by following these instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-make-firefox-and-websites-go-full-screen?esab=a&s=full+screen&r=0&as=s
If this doesn't work, please let us know and we'll figure out another way to fix it.

How to make a jframe or jdialog on top of all other applications

I just want to know if there a way to make a jframe or jdialog on top of an application like games?
Thanks in advance...

Try searching the forum?

Why does firefox keeps forcing itself on top of all other windows? it doesn't matter what website im on, it always does it! Really gets on my nerves when im watching a video only to have it minimized and firefox slammed in my face lol...

It's not to do with what website I'm on - Firefox ALWAYS does this even if I just have a blank tab open! Seems to happen in ubuntu and windows 7. Does anyone know why this is??

Hi,
You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

I just installed the lastest update of Firefox and now the Firefox window is always on top of all other windows - what a pain! How can I fix this?

I looked at all of the options available to me and did not see where there is a link or anything saying "always on top." Is there such a thing somewhere and if so, where?

Well hells bells - I went to watch TV and came back and all is good. Is it magic? :) (Some days I just plain don't understand anything - I swear!)
