Proper way to link files

I’m trying to create a *.cp Movie and run it from a
MenuBuilder file (*.mgp) which itself is run from ANOTHER
Menubuilder file.
What is the correct procedure?
1. Create a Captivate Movie (*.cp); Save it.
2. Publish it as *.exe or *.swf or whatever.
3. Create MenuBuilder file#1: (*.mgp) (This is the Top Level
Menu); Save it.
4. Export as *.exe or *.swf or whatever.
5. Create MenuBuilder file#2: (*.mgp) (This is the Second
Level Menu which is run from the Top Level Menu); Save it.
6. Export as *.exe or *.swf or whatever.
Linking the Movie and the Menus:
Should the Menubuilder file#1(Top Level menu) (*.mgp) file
link to
the Menubuilder file#2 (Second level Menu) *.exe file?
OR
Should the Menubuilder file#1(Top Level menu) (*.mgp) file
link to
the Menubuilder file#2 (Second level Menu) *.mgp file?
AND
Should the Menubuilder file#2(Second Level menu) *.mgp or
*.exe file link to
the Captivate *.cp file?
OR -
Should the Menubuilder file#2(Second Level menu) *.mgp or
*.exe file link to
the Captivate *.exe file?
What is the correct combination of files?

  • Is there a proper way to name files?

    I know that folders can have spaces in the name, but what about actual file names themselves? Is it OK to name our files with a space or should we just use a "_" to be safe? What could go wrong if we use a space in the file name? What other characters should we avoid in file names?
    Thanks!

    The article I refer to was somewhat vague to me and I guess my first statement of "adopting a new standard" is incorrect/misleading as I believe it was an adoption of the rest/more of the current standard as opposed to an all adopting an "all new" standard. Standards don't need to be followed 100% for something to be "compliant". This is an area that is gray to me as I understand it is also some sort of proprietary Apple code. The trade names and underscore situation I have discovered on my own.
    I am quite certain I have a copy somewhere on an external HD but I am waiting for my third power-cord for my G4. I gave up on replacing battery connectors and now it heats the cables until the insulation melts away shorting it out. I will not connect externals to the MBP as they don't work properly and must be repaired when I try to use them in 3.9. I have already lost one HD and can't afford to lose another at the moment. Unfortunately if it doesn't arrive today or tomorrow I will not be able to post it as my .Mac trial is about up and I have no use for it to warrant purchasing a full account.
    None of these files have been named pre OS X and all of these HD's, folders, files and my file naming convention I have used since 10.0. OS X.4 and Quick time have tightened their adherence, and not necessarily changed, to different standards, ISO, IEEE, MPEG, ASCII etc. One that I believe to be a major problem in 10.4 is with the ISO time-codes as equipment and apps alike do not convert or correct the "normal errors" properly.
    I'm quite certain even this problem is caused in this "I/O Kit" as at least two separate OS architectures come together here possibly 3 (I am clueless how/if classic fits into the picture here). Then it's supposed to run on three different processors w/ various supported and "unsupported" HW configurations. Quite an incredible accomplishment IMO. Something was bound to be overlooked/misplaced/added/deleted especially when one looks at the speed at which all this conversion took place. I just wish that kernel panics made others as nervous as I and would cause one to report them to Apple. The amount of HW destroyed on my PB G4 running 10.4 and a MBP that wants to act like a PPC is enough for me to be convinced me that the situation is very serious.
    Here's what others experience as well, in this situation I believe it is the extensions creating the problem. Unfortunately I read hundreds of pages a day as my MBP is useless for what I bought it for (iMovie) and I have nothing to do but to try and fix it. A lot of the self proclaimed experts on the various Apple boards believe that OS X.4 and a MBP are supposed to be slow and sluggish and that the problems that abound are "normal" or acceptable. IMO the iMovie board in particular is full of outdated or misinformation.

    I believe I may have stumbled across it from this email or in another Apple link if not a Developer Reference Manual. Adobe has issues with characters at the moment as well. I have thousands of files that can't be browsed in the PS browser as certain file names are shutting it down. No report being produced anywhere so I can't narrow it down. These files and folders were all named and organized in PS and I have used them, cross platform, for years without a problem. The only way to access these folders/files are by booting into 10.3.9 or less on my G4.

    You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash in Mac OS X
    In Mac OS X, each user account has a separate, invisible Trash folder that is in the home folder. When you view contents of the Trash, you see only items you placed there and not the Trash folder of any other accounts. If other writable volumes are present, you may also have individual Trash folders on these volumes.
    How to delete a file
    Drag an item's icon to the Trash (in the Dock), or select the item and press Command-Delete.
    Choose Empty Trash from the Finder menu.
    Tip: If you're trying to delete a file that wasn't completely downloaded or copied, check out this document.
    Tip: In Mac OS X 10.3 Panther or later, you can securely delete items by choosing Secure Empty Trash from the Finder menu.
    If you change your mind about deleting the item before you choose Empty Trash:
    Click the Trash icon in the dock.
    Drag the item out of the Trash.
    If you can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
    For example, this message might appear when you try to empty the Trash: "The operation could not be completed because the item '(item name)' is locked."
    First, try holding the Option key as you choose Empty Trash from the Finder's File menu.
    Otherwise, you can check for these conditions:
    Is the file locked?
    If files are locked, unlock them before deleting or delete using the tips in the "Deleting locked files" section below. Also, see Mac OS X: Unable to Move, Unlock, Modify, or Copy an Item .
    Do you have correct permissions to modify the file?
    Every file and folder in Mac OS X has some permission settings to help define what you or other users can do with the file or folder, for example whether you may modify it or not. If see an alert box with a message that says you do not have "sufficient" privilege or permission, see the tips in the "Emptying the Trash" section of "Mac OS X: Troubleshooting Permissions Issues".
    Does the file or volume have special characters?
    Usually, Mac OS X can delete files whose names contain special characters, but sometimes you might need to follow this advice.
    Note the name of the volume which the files are being deleted from. If you are not sure of the item's location, you can verify that by selecting it then choosing Show Info from the File menu. If the name of the volume contains any special ASCII characters, such as a bullet or trademark character, temporarily rename the volume so that it does not contain these characters.
    Example: If you cannot delete files from a volume named "·Dox", rename the volume to "Dox". After the Trash is empty, restore the volume's original name as desired.
    Examine the name of the files or folders you cannot delete. They should not contain a solidus ("slash", "/") character or any other special ASCII character such as a trademark, quotation mark, or copyright symbol. If the file does, remove the special character or slash from its name, then delete it.
    Example: If you cannot delete a file named "Things/Stuff·", rename the file to just "t", then delete it.
    Deleting locked files
    Locked files can easily be deleted if you press Shift-Option or Option key combination while emptying the Trash (in Mac OS X 10.1 and later). For Mac OS X versions 10.0 to 10.0.4, use Show Info to deselect the item's Locked checkbox.
    If you still cannot delete the item, start up your computer from the Mac OS X CD-ROM and choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu of the first screen. Use Disk Utility to verify and, if necessary, repair your disk.
    Tip: When started up from CD, do not click Continue. Disk Utility is only available in the first screen. If you click Continue, restart the computer from the CD.
    If a file can't be unlocked, you may not have permission to unlock it. See "Mac OS X: Troubleshooting Permissions Issues" to learn how to get write permissions.
    If the issue persists, use Disk Utility's Repair Permissions feature to check your Mac OS X volume. For Mac OS X 10.1.5 only, download and use Repair Privileges Utility 1.1 instead.
    Advanced tip about deleting locked files
    If there are several locked files in the Trash, you can unlock them all at the same time at the command line. Follow these steps:
    Open Terminal. It's located in /Applications/Utilities.
    Type: chflags -R nouchg
    Note: Type one space (not pictured) after nouchg in the line above, so that it ends in "nouchg ". Do not press Return yet.
    Double-click the Trash icon in the Dock to reveal the contents of the Trash. If necessary, arrange the Finder window so that a portion of the Terminal window is still visible.
    Press the Command-A key combination to select all files in the Trash.
    Drag the files from the Trash to the Terminal window.
    Note: This automatically enters the pathname for each file. This eliminates the need to individually empty multiple Trash directories, particularly when multiple disks or volumes are present.
    Press Return. No special text message will be shown indicating that the command was successful.
    Empty the Trash.
    If the Trash does not empty or if you see a message in Terminal that says "usage: chflags [-R [-H | -L | -P]] flags file..." you most likely did not type the text in step 2 as indicated or did not leave a space. Repeat the steps if this happens.

  • What is the proper way to change a url link?

    I need to tell DW to change all url links (on all pages) going to an old url to a new url. What is the proper way to do this? thanks.

    Did you even read my reply properly?
    'Defining a site' in DW has everything to do leveraging most functionality with FUNDAMENTALS of DW usage.
    'Change links sitewide' is an option within DW that will change links across sites by replacing an old link with a new - for DW to do this for more than just ONE FILE in your site, DW has to know what other files make up your site. This is why 'Defining a site' is critical.
    If you do feel otherwise, please go ahead and wait for somebody else (an expert) to post his views on this. Let's see what they have to say.
    Either which way, I really think you should change your attitude while posting on this forum. That will not only help you, but all of us here.
    Good luck.

  • Is there a way for photoshop to AUTO UPDATE all linked files after modified?

    Using the new Photoshop 2014 (version).
    This is a very frustrating task for anyone using a lot of linked files.
    As a web developer, I may have 50 files that contain one linked element.  If I go edit that element, I then have to find the layer on each and every file it's contained in and click "Update Modified Content".  There HAS to be an easier way.  I really hope I'm missing something here.
    Thanks to everyone looking to help.

    OK. Now I see what you meant.
    And you correctly understand workaround instruction. The problem is it does not work and I don't know why.
    I'm not so familiar with Automator and indeed seldom use it except for a simple services wrapper under 10.6. So I don't know of any workflows off the shelf which use "Ask for Confirmation" action. But it is easy to create a workflow that, for instance, consists of "Ask for Confirmation" action only and is set to receive no input or input from Finder or input from other application and test to see if it gets keyboard focus. As far as I can tell, this action obtains keyboard focus automatically.
    Here's another workaround you may try. Replace the "Ask for Confirmation" action with a "Run AppleScript" action with the following contents. This will show similar dialogue to let you choose two options.
    on run {input, parameters}
        tell application "Finder"
            activate
            display dialog "Are you sure?" with title "Permanently delete"
        end tell
        return input
    end run
    The workflow will look like this.

  • Any way to link to a file in Catalyst, rather than a URL or state?

    Given the 20 page limitation, I'm having to build my prototype in chunks, but so far have been unable to find a way to link up the various prototypes.  Does anyone know of a way to add a link to a local file rather than a live URL or simply another state within the same prototype?  Even in code view it seems I'm unable to delete the "http://" that it adds automatically to links...

    Many people can solve their problems with the 20 page limit using custom components. You should check out this thread

    It is possible to use the onClick -> go to State and set states on a custom component or any of its subcomponents.

    In all the years in using Dreamweaver. I have never used the embed code generated by by Dreamweaver. The coding not complete and I feel better writing my own. Untill a few years ago I found this neat little program that write a fairly complete code.
    PAGEot...and it free. It not only writes the emebed code but it can write the javascript code for IE7 (for Windows). Plus it does a lot of other neat things that you do with Quicktime...play lists, poster frames to name a few.

  • Proper way to make bulk changes the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions, ExtensionSettings

    We are going through with an upgrade/migration to SSRS 2012 and moving everything to a different domain. We have about 200 active subscriptions running, the reports are being delivered to a file share.  What is the correct way, in bulk, to change
    the OwnerId, the Path and the FileShare Username password credentials for these subscriptions?  I see these values are being stored in Subscriptions > ExtensionSettings.  I see that the file share path and Owner wouldn't be a problem to change,
    but since I see the file share credentials are encrypted I would not be able change them directly in ExtensionSettings.  Anyone know the proper way to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions without having to
    change each one of them manually in the report manager?
    Note: Reporting Services Native upgrade from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Cygnus46,
    Based on my understanding, you want to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for all existing subscriptions.
    In Reporting Services, the subscription information are stored in the Report Server database. In your scenario, you can go to report server database and run the query to list all the subscriptions, then modify the owner and fileshare paths in the subscriptions
    table. For more information, please refer to this article: Tip: Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription. If you want to change
    the file share credentials for subscriptions, you can run the query provided by
    wiperzeus from this similar thread:
    Windows File Share Delivery/ SSRS 2008 R2.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Copying a new .class file for WLS to use, proper way?

    Hello. I'm doing some servlet development and I would like to know what is

    If I just copy them into the proper directory, am I supposed to have to
    restart the server? Is that normal, or should WLS just pick up the new one?
    It does that with JSPs, can it do that with servlets and supporting classes?
    Thanks.

    I found out that I was copying the wrong file to the right place (.java

    Hi Peter,
    Normally weblogic will redeploy automatically application, either web
    or ejb, without restarting the server, when it's copied to applications
    directory on the server. Applications should be properly packaged.Servlets
    and supported files should be in war file, ejb-s in ejb-jar files.
    I'm not sure if it would work right for plain unpacked class files.

  • Is there a way to link to files in pages or numbers?

    I have a document that lists all of the articles I've written in the past 6 or 7 years.  It's in pages as a table.  Does anyone know of a way to link to the file location for each article, so I don't have to go searching around for each article through my folders?

    The only ability to link to other Pages documents on your filesystem is with Pages '09. The capability was never made available in Numbers '09, Pages v5, or Numbers v3.
    In Pages '09, you want to follow these steps for each link out of your main document to the respective article Pages documents:
    Select the individual article
    In the Link Inspector
    Select Enable as a hyperlink
    Backspace the default web link, and press return
    In the Link to pull down, choose Pages document
    Click Choose… and locate your document through the document chooser
    Click Open (it doesn't open, but is connected to the hyperlink)
    Your individual articles will open as the related document in a new window when the links are clicked.
    Hover your mouse over a document hyperlink, and the full path to the document is displayed
    You will not be permitted to export the hyperlinks to Pages documents.

  • Linked file in Asset folder won't read css

    I have put a secondary navigation on my master page. Muse automatically uploads the file into an Asset folder on my server. The linked file in the asset folder does not display the css. I tried loading a second css file into the Asset folder (tried uploading both with css folder and by itself to no avail). I also tried linking it with the full url http://www.... but this doesn't work either. The only way to show the link with style sheet is to export the site to Dreamweaver and strip out asset/. My site has 30 pages total and I am adding information on it daily so this is not a good work around.

    Nope, as noted in above posts:
    All icons look correct (and "get info" shows the proper apps);
    I've copied to other drives, zipped, copied, unzipped and opened.
    I'll try taking some over to my old G5 and see if there's any luck there.
    It seems like in some way the folder was damaged in copying. I need to upgrade my Disk Warrior to work on this OS, that would adjust any directory/database problems.
    I suppose I can pay Apple for their support time, but this one is pretty bizarre.

  • What is the proper way to convert a VHD from dynamic to basic without losing data?

    Hi,
    What is the proper way to convert a VHD from dynamic to basic without losing data?
    Our VM is running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
    Thanks in advanced

    Hi efebo,
    "After you convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk, you cannot change the dynamic volumes back to partitions. Instead, you must delete all dynamic volumes on the disk and then use the
    Convert To Basic Disk command. If you want to keep your data, you must first back it up or move it to another volume. "
    Please refer to following link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731274.aspx
    You can try to backup the dynamic volume via Windows Server Backup then restore it to a new basic VHD file ( the space is recommended to be   larger than or equal to the old one ) .
    Hope it helps

  • Proper way to install CS5

    When going from CS4 to CS5, what is the proper way? Should I install CS5, then uninstall CS4 later or should CS4 be romved, restart and then install CS5?
    I done it the first way and it gave me some problems opening up old Photoshop files. Didn't know if I did a complete uninstall first if it would make it work right.
    Thanks

    Insert the CS5 DVD and follow instructions.  CS4 and CS5 can co-exists but only one or the other can be opened a any given time. When you no longer need CS4 it may be un-installed.  Try to keep what you install into Photoshop out of Adobe install trees. However some third party add-ons insist on beeing installed into each versions of Photoshop install tree. Actions and other things like brushes shapes styles etc can be loaded from anywhere.  Photoshop  Plug-ins tree can be linked to your plug-in tree in Photoshop preferences.  Most Plugins are compiled programs and there are some that will be 32bit only and some 64bit.  If you have a 64bit OS the Photoshop CS5 will install two versions of Photoshop CS5 a 64 bit version and a 32 bit version on your system.

  • How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

    How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks
