Progression 3 Plug-in

I'm a film major not a web designer so excuse my ignorance. In high school I learned that flash is essentially summed up as a swf that loads on a single page of html. I recently found a site that breaks this rule.
http://www.loworks.co.jp/
If you pay attention, in between pages are normal animations that appear to be inside a single .swf but the address of the page changes. Looking more closely I found the plug-in that makes this possible (site below)
http://progression.jp/en/showcase/
So my question is, considering that most of their site is in Japanese and I can't seem to find any in-depth tutorials on implementing their solution into my website, is there any alternative to this plug-in? Is there another easier, straight forward solution (preferably...in English)? Is this something that Flash CS4 is maybe capable of producing on its own now?
Or am I the only one who knows about this?

I do not believe it is going to a different web page (except for the store).  That "#" in the address normally involves anchor points within a web page--tags marking different sections that you can jump to by clicking links.  I do not have Flash CS4 but it is my understanding that the ability to add anchors into a Flash file's timeline is a new capability, and I think that is what you are seeing.  As far as the address changing, there was another posting with some discussion about that yesterday...

  • External Drive "Disk Erase Failed"

    Hi All,
    This is my first post to the supportcommunity and want to confirm i have searched around and while i found similar stories to my own, i did not find anything specifically helpful.
    Recently i had the bright idea of moving my whole iTunes collection to a WD 500GB USB External Hard drive. The transfer was fine and iTunes was ok with the move of data. I Progressed and plugged the WD Drive in to my Airport Extreme and my Mac Book Pro recognised the drive no problems and again iTunes was able to connect to all my movies, songs etc etc.
    I also tested this with my Apple TV 2 and found streaming a breeze in each room.
    This morning however i noticed an error on my Apple TV 2 "Your Device does not have any movies" (or something similar), i checked my MBP and noticed the hard drive was no longer mounted nor available under the "Shared" drives list in Finder.
    I tried the obvious steps first
    Restart MBP
    Restart APE
    Restart MPB & APE after disconnecting WD Drive
    Nothing above worked. I opened "Disk Utility", reconnected my WD drive directly and found my drive listed as expected. However if you see the image attached to this post you will see while my MBP recognises the drive, it does not recognise the partition created only a few days ago called "iTunes". Also the Verify Disk & Repair Disk options are not available which is a real bummer.
    Finally i tried connecting the drive to a spare windows xp laptop i have, windows will start to install the device drivers which are the usual generic type and confirm the installation was complete, however My Computer does not show any drives attached.
    I know i "Erased" the drive before moving my data in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and i did not set any security options.
    I can understand Windows not recognising the drive, of course it is not NTFS or FAT32. But for my MBP to see the drive in Disk Utility and not show the partition is strange and frankly worrying.
    Litterally every song, movie and TV series i ever purchased via iTunes is on that drive.
    My iPhone has my music but im struggling to get that off the phone and back to my MPB, my iPad has a couple of movies but not all.
    Finally i fogot to mention i tried to use disk warrior however this didnt recognise any drives other than my MAC HD.
    Any help would be amazing thank you very much.

    Hi guys,
    Wondering if you can help me out...
    I made a time machine copy on a 500gb external hard drive of my 13" MBP with a HDD currently in it.
    Then took my 500gb SSD from an old 15" MBP, removed the HDD and put it in my 13" MBP.
    Opened up 13" MBP in restore mode. Chose restore from time machine back up.
    Choose the time machine external drive as source. Then chose the SSD drive to restore to.
    Said it was erasing the drive... Asked for a password...
    I typed in my usual password. It then said the SSD drive couldn't be erased.
    Took the SSD out and put the original HDD back in.
    Plugged the SSD into a firewire 800 caddy to try erase it in disk utility as an external.
    This drive will show up in disk utility but the erase option isn't available.
    I can repair the disk but it says the disk is perfectly fine.
    I can click on the partition option but everything is greyed out and I can't partition it at all.
    This drive will now no longer show up on the desktop or finder.
    This is driving me crazy!
    Just want to erase the SSD, use time machine to restore onto it and get busy.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • 2009 iMac 3.06 (w/Nvidia 130GT) not supporting 1920x1080p on a HP w2338h

    I just purchased a new 2009 3.06 iMac (stock) and upon hooking up the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter to a DVI to HDMI cable and plugging it into the HP w2338h it comes up at the proper 1920x1080 resolution but the iMac will only drive it Interlaced and there is no option for Progressive. Plugging this same monitor into a much older Macbook Pro via just the DVI-HDMI cable brings the display up at the proper 1920x1080 progressive.
    Edit: All other resolutions below the monitor's native (1920x1080) come up in progressive mode.
    Message was edited by: The Doctre

    I found a cheaper solution than buying a Dvi kvm. Like you I also only got the interlaced option in system preferenceS; lets just say that it looked really bad. The solution is to go into the display settings and change to a resolution like 1600 x 900 that has progressive support. Now choose "Show displays in menu bar" option. Once that is done go the menu bar and choose the display icon (it looks like a monochrome fullscreen display) click on it. and choose 1920x1080 60Hz. Whoa-la, it is now in progessive.
    I think this is a bug from OSX's DVI recognition software, since it clearly can output 1920x1080 in progressive if you do those steps.

  • Music sound gets low while earphones are plugged in.  To fix it I have to slide the music progress bar.

    When listening to music with any pair of headphones or earphones plugged in, all of a sudden the volume will get really low for no reason.  Example: say the volume is at 15.  All of a sudden the volume will drop to like a 4, but the volume slider is still positioned at 15.  To fix it, I have to open the music app or control panel, and slide the song progress bar around and then the volume returns to normal.
    This is not an issue with the headphones.  I tried twisting and jiggling the jack and there were no changes.  Not even static.  The issue happens with the aux cable in my car as well.  It's also not an issue with the songs.  These are the same songs I was playing yesterday and they are all perfectly fine.
    Right now this is happening on my iPhone 5s with the most recent iOS8 update.  I've also had the update for awhile and this has only started less than a day ago.

    It sounds like dirt in the headphone jack. I would use a vacuum cleaner to "suck" out any dirt that might be in there. You might also want to look carefully and see if anything in lodged in there.

  • Is there a plug-in or a way to remove the green progress bar from the address bar/AwesomeBar?

    Much as I love Firefox, I'm not overly enamoured with the wee green progress bar that's integrated into the awesomebar in 5. As I have Status-4-Evar installed, I really don't need it, and I find it kinda ugly, to be honest.
    Are there any plug-ins or preference options to make it go away, or am I stuck with it until my brain just learns to ignore it?

    Use the options in Status-4-Evar, on the "Progress" tab, uncheck "Show progress in the Location Bar". There is now an icon "S4E" on the location bar or use the options through the add-ons manager.

  • TS1362 My iTunes has stopped playing - it will not progress. I have updated iTunes, and can't figure out how to find any plug-ins - can't figure out how to find hidden files on the iMac Finder.

    How do I find hidden files on my iMac? My iTunes has stopped playing music and videos - the playbar does not progress, and it may be that there is a plug-in that is stopping it. How do I fix it?

    Well, it sort of solved my problem. Now every time I start a lecture with sound, there is no sound, but the slides advance. If I go back to iTunes and turn on a cd, it plays the sound. If I then go back to the lecture, the sound goes on. So each time I start a slide show with sound, I have to turn on iTunes. How can I fix this?

    Lost all contact info.  All my Aps are there but all the data/progress is missing.  When I plug my iphone into the usb fto synch up with my itunes on the computer a message comes up and says "enter the password to unlock your iphone backup file".  This is very frustrating

    I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two.  Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

  • Question about plugging in an ajax progress bar component onto a black-box.

    Hello,
    I have the following problem: I want to integrate an ajax progress bar component to a j2ee application and I am in reference to the following pattern (https://bpcatalog.dev.java.net/nonav/ajax/progress-bar/design.html). It seems I need for the "task" component to return the percent. The problem I have is that I am calling a legacy method (i.e. as400) that does not return a percent as it is to me only a black-box. Here is a snippet of what it looks like to me:
          AS400 sys = new AS400("AS400D.calyonfinancial.com");
           sys.setUserId("jmartin");
           sys.setPassword("jmartin");
           CommandCall cmd = new CommandCall(sys);
           cmd.run("my as400 command goes here");
           AS400Message[] messageList = cmd.getMessageList();
           for (AS400Message msg : messageList) {
               System.out.println(msg.getText());      
           sys.disconnectService(AS400.COMMAND);At best I can know whether or not it is completed.
    void actionCompleted(ActionCompletedEvent event) //Invoked when an action has completed.What do you advise I do bearing in mind I want to avoid using an indeterminate progress bar??
    Thanks in advance,
    Julien Martin.

    That's not a legacy method. The latest version of JTOpen was issued less than a month ago. And note that it's open-source, so you could change it yourself to provide percent-complete data. (Of course you'd have to be able to get that data from the underlying iSeries command.)
    It wouldn't be easy, but if you think about it for a minute you'll realize that you can't display percentage complete in a progress bar unless you have some way of finding out what percentage the task has actually completed.

  • My iphone 4s recentley got cracked. the other day my phone wouldnt turn on at all, but then today i plugged it in and it says its charging but it has been hours and no progress. what do i do?

    help!

    What do you mean by "my iphone 4s recently got cracked"?  By itself?  If by cracked, you mean jailbroke, go somewhere else for a solution.  This forum is for stock IPs, but there is google for risk takers.

  • When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

    Problem:
    When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
    Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
    Symptoms:
    1)   Sync:  It’s not completing the sync.  Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options.  I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
    waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
    backing up (step 2 of 7)
    preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
    determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
    preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
    importing photos (step 6 of 7)
    waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
    syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
    canceling sync
    apple icon
    2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone.  All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto.  All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
    3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list.  If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes.  But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
    Other Potential Pertinent Info:
    The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago).  Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed.  I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive.  Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself.  However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive.  All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
    Settings/Status:
    MacBook Air
    OSX v. 10.9
    iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
    iPhone iOS 7.0.4
    iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
    Summary Tab
    Backups (This Computer)
    Options
    Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected
    Sync only checked songs and videos
    Photos Tab
    Sync Photos from iPhoto (429 Photos)
    Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include (no Events)
    Albums – 9 are selected

    You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

  • Next-Generation Plug-In settings in the Enterprise

    I work in a company of 1000+ desktops and various user groups running various core systems. For background, we've been standardized on IE 6 for years, and we're trying to move to IE 8.
    I'm looking into an issue with one of our core systems. It's a 3rd party solution that relies on an applet that fails when the latest JRE is downloaded and the "Enable the next-generation Java Plug-in" is checked (which it is by default).
    I've been searching the web, and I know most of the work-arounds, including how to run ssvagent.exe -high -jpisetup -old from the JRE install folder. I'm almost ready to pass this information on to our desktop admins, but I have a few questions I know they are going to ask. I would deeply appreciate any help in answering these questions:
    What is the possible impact of disabling the next-generation Java Plug-in on other applets from other 3rd party vendors? Are we likely to run into some applets/plug-ins that fail when this option is disabled?
    The vendor of the app that's failing isn't being very helpful. Is there any info we can give them on how to recompile the applet so that it works under the default setting?
    What are other large enterprises doing to manage this?
    Thanks in advance for any answers. Until we have this resolved, we're unable to upgrade users to the current JRE.

    I tried the java_version param. It prompted me with a warning informing me that the app would run an earlier version of Java. I clicked run, and continued having the same issue. I captured this from the console:
    Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20

  • My iphone 4s only works when plugged in, experiences random crashes, and the wifi is grayed out?

    First post here. I'm experiencing some pretty complicated issues with my iphone 4s of several years, which began yesterday at random. I'm sorry for the length, but if someone could read through all of this and help me out, I would be so grateful.
    I started experiencing some complex issues with my iphone yesterday, seemingly at random. I was taking a phone call, and all of a sudden, my phone goes dark. The battery was between 50%-80% at the time. I immediately plugged it in, and the apple logo appeared and began to power on. When it came back on however, I immediately noticed some changes. For starters, the battery leapt to 100%. The top corner of my phone where the carrier and bars should be says "searching..." (this never goes away). When I go into settings, the wifi is grayed out and says "no wifi."
    That's not the worst of it though. As of last night, the number of times my phone crashes has gotten progressively worse. Now, even when I plug my iphone in to a wall charger, it stays on for maybe 1-4 minutes before it crashes completely. After this, it sometimes restarts itself. Before the shut-down, there are usually some weird bars or colors that flash across the screen (it's always different). I'm running on ios5 (I just really like the layout so much more, so I never bothered updating).
    I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary to my phone. I walked in the rain for a short while when it was in my back pocket, but I've done this many times before and I don't see how that could create massive water damage. Also, it worked perfectly fine for a few hours after I got home. Quite literally, this just happened out of the blue. No warning, no signals, nothing. So far, I've tried...
    - turning it on and off (duh)
    - doing a hard reboot by holding down the middle and top buttons, several times
    - resetting the network settings
    - turning off data roaming and toggling airplane mode on and off
    I even attempted the freezer trick. I didn't put the phone in the actual freezer because I was worried about condensation, but I did set it down on an icepack. This seemed to keep it alive a little bit longer before crashing, but only marginally so. My original plan was to plug my phone into my computer and download all my pictures and whatnot before attempting a complete data wipe and factory reset, but this also seems impossible. When I plug the phone into my laptop, the little apple logo comes and goes, but it simply never powers on fully. And even if it did, I doubt it would stay on long enough for me to complete a download without things crashing.
    I'm totally lost here. Is my phone wrecked? I'm sensitive about my privacy, so I'm not crazy about the idea of taking my phone to the apple store and having them make some sort of copy of my data. I'm also not crazy about uploading all of my phones data to iTunes or the cloud or something like that. In addition to this, I don't know how I would salvage my in-app data. That's also something I'm worried about. I can't attempt to update my ios without wifi or the ability to plug my phone into a computer. All of this would be a lot easier if I could keep my iphone on longer than 2 minutes.
    I've had this phone for years. I really don't want to just let it die at random and never even know why. I just feel like this hit me out of nowhere. Any suggestions about what I could do? I'm willing to try everything. I'm planning on calling apple, but I was thinking of asking online first.
    BONUS: if anyone could answer these extra questions (you don't have to), that would be awesome! When you do a complete data wipe and restore your iphone to factory settings, where does all of your data go? Is it actually *gone* for good? I'm not just talking about photos, but also internet history, in-app data, and youtube history from the youtube app. Does it disappear completely? Or does it get stored somewhere. Also, is there anyway to downgrade a new iphone to an earlier ios without jail breaking it? I've pretty much lost hope with this phone, but if I get a new one, I just wish there was some way to keep using the old ios I'm used to.
    Thanks so much to anyone who can answer these questions.

    I have tried everything
    If that is the case, by definition there is nothing left you can do...
    Did you try connecting to another computer?  Did this computer ever detect the phone?  Does the USB system on your computer work normally with other devices?  What is your computer OS version?  iTunes version??

  • I interrupted my iphone upgrade to ioS 6 and now my phone just keeps showing the apple. it wont restart or show up when I plug it into itunes!!!!

    Help! i accidently interrupted my iphone upgrade to ioS 6 and now my phone wont turn on completely. it just keeps showing the apple. it also wont register with itunes...i have tried turning it off and restarting it multiple times but nothing is working. HELP!

    hey man, i feel your pain... here's my story and i'm pretty sure this will work for you... on the 19th of september i went to upgrade ios 6 and paused it about 1/10 through... when i plugged my phone up at night the screen was at the normal lock screen.. when i woke up at 10:30 am i went to check my phone and the screen appeared as an apple logo with a progression bar about 6/10 full.. it didn't seem to be progressing any more, but i guess that was only because it was so slow trying to download over wifi because it had all night to finish downloading.. anyways i needed to check my texts and the time so i held down the lock button and the phone turned off during the download.. when i tried to turn it on the apple logo would appear like normal trying to boot up.. then it would fade away and cut off.. then seconds later try to turn on again, by itself, repeatedly for hours on september 20. i tried restarting it (holding lock and home button down 10-15 seconds) but the problem with that is that the phone was already trying to turn on itself so it never would restart correctly... (continued turning on and off by itself).. i went to verizon and they said my phone is screwed.. go to apple if you wanna pay.. i called apple support and a lady helped me out here's the solution that worked after hours of thinking my phone is totally screwed.. when the phone is dark and cut off.. press and hold the home button before you plugin your sync cable to your usb port.. (have itunes up and ready) continue holding the home button and plugin the sync cable.. still holding the button, wait for a message from itunes appear that says it recognizes your device in recovery mode.. press ok.. the screen on your iphone should be a snyc cable and and arrow pointing to an itunes symbol... from there it is pretty self explanatory.. you will need to restore and update your phone from there which should be an option after you press ok... it takes awhile.. your phone will then go through one, or maybe a few progression bars (it may vary, not sure).. while your itunes will be restoring software & firmware.. when everything is done on itunes and your phone.. your phone should boot right up!!! reply if you have any more questions.. i'm so glad i resolved my issue today.. good luck!

    I have a 6th generation iPod Nano.
    I almost exclusively use it as an FM radio and as a pedometer -- so far I have not loaded any songs onto it for listening, nor do I intend to in the future.
    Here's my problem:
    When my Nano runs out of juice, I have to use the charging cord to plug it into to my iMac's USB port to recharge the Nano. However, whenever I do so, two different (unwanted) actions happened:
    First, the act of plugging in the iPod auto-launched iTunes, for syncing. I solved this problem by finding the preference check box for launching iTunes when connecting an iPid, and UNchecking the box. That worked, problem solved.
    However, the second automatic action is that the iPod appears as a connected drive on the iMac desktop, as any external device with a drive would appear when connected to any Mac. But I have no need for this to be happening -- I don't intend to upload anything to the iPod, nor to sync it, or whatever -- the only reason I ever connect the iPod to the iMac is to RECHARGE the iPod, not to tinker with the contents of what's on it.
    The problem is, every time I then want to disconnect the charging cord, I have to manually "unmount" the iPod drive by dragging its desktop icon to the Trash, when then allows the "it is now safe to disconnect your external drive" state to obtain, allowing me to then unplug it without getting a warning message telling me I shouldn't have just disconnected a connected drive without first unmounting it.
    This wouldn't be such a bother, except that the 6th generation iPod Nano has a new "feature" which makes it impossible to see how far along the charging is progressing while it is still in the act of charging. Thus, the only way to know if it is has become  fully charged is to unplug it, and look at the battery monitor. While is it still connected and charging, all that displays on the iPod is the "charging now" battery icon, which does not reveal just how the charging is progressing, or if it is fully charged yet. (My iPhone, by way of contrast, displays during charging a battery icon which reveals how far charged it is by that point.)
    As a result of this Nano "feature," I often find myself having to connect and disconnect the Nano two or three or more times each time I'm charging it, so I can simply check how far along the charging has gotten, since I want to disconnect it as soon as it has finished charging and get back to using it.
    But so far, I have not been able to find any kind of setting or preference which allow me to identify this device as one which I DON'T want to "mount" each time it is plugged in.
    All I want to do is just plug in the iPod, and be able to unplug it, without having to to ANY shenanigans on the computer itself. Just plug in = recharging, unplug = not charging any more. Simple.
    Question: is there any way to achieve this? Or is it simply not possible, and must I manually unmount the iPod's drive (more than once, usually) each time I plug it in for recharging?

    I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
    What's the secret?
