Publishing/actionscript help needed

Okay, first time poster and this is a complete newb cry for help:
I had someone create a template site for me that is pretty simple - a single swf that pulls resources from a directory of xml files and assets. In theory, I should be able to update the xml for my site and provide new assets. Simple.
I'm not a total neophyte, i know some code and within the xml there are some <font> tags that over ride the swf's formatting or provide and href. Again simple.
My problem is that I now have to update our logo, which is hard coded into the source .fla file, which I know how to get in and swap out (the guy who did the work is not available). My problem is, when I publish, the new swf with the new logo does not want to read the <font> tags anymore. I have tried everything and I can't crack this. I've narrowed it down to two possibilities:
1. Something in the Publish settings, though I've tried every conceivable variation to no avail.
2. Something in the .as file that defines page template.
I know I need to provide more info but this is a start. I'm working on a Mac (as was the coder) and we were both using CS4.
Thanks for any and all help/direction.

If your in the .fla, and you are simply swapping one symbol in the manner that your speaking, I would probably do a couple things, first I would make sure that the logo your swapping is the same type of object/symbol, same size is good, and then I would backup a copy of the original, and then delete the logo symbol and bitmap, import and name the new logo image the exact same as the other, and then convert it to a symbol with the exact same name as original, then either drag it to the stage in the layer and position it should be with the exact same instance names.
I'm thinking in terms of a currently working product that I don't want to recode. So simply by taking a working one, and doing absolutely nothing more than changing the object, with everything identical, the code should do what it did before because all the actionscript instances, objects, var, event, and function names are identical, and therefore should use the proper instances at runtime.
I think.

Actionscript help needed for website

Hey everyone,
I am just beginning to learn the basics of creating web sites in flash. I posted this in site design a while ago, but no one has responded yet and I need help asap.
I have been following a tutorial and have it done pretty well, but they only cover one main button, and I am at the point where I need several more, but I am doing something wrong.
The tutorial is at this page: http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/advancedWebsite-flash-tutorial- 3.html
You can skip to the end and download the .fla if you want.
What I want to do specifically is to add probably 4 other main buttons that can also have drop down menus. Please be as specific as possible because the extent of my code knowledge isn't very far.
Thanks in advance
The code for the main page is as follows:
menu = ["About", "Bio", "Contact"];
this.createEmptyMovieClip("content", 1000);
this.attachMovie("sectionBackground","mask",1001);
mask._y = content._y=208;
mask._x = target=68;
content.setMask(mask);
content._x = -1000;
imageScrollSpeed = 5;
xStart = 125;
yStart = 51;
bWidth = 79;
bHeight = 17;
interval = 50;
countDown = menu.length;
menuOpen = false;
theTime = 0;
buttonScrollSpeed = 2;
for (var i = 0; i<menu.length; i++) {
var section = content.attachMovie("section_"+menu[i], "section_"+menu[i], i+100);
section._x = section._width*i;
var b = this.attachMovie("subButton", "subButton"+i, countDown);
countDown--;
b.stop();
b._x = xStart;
b._y = ySwtart;
b.interval = interval*i;
b.target = yStart+(bHeight*i);
b.txt = menu[i];
b.pos = target+(i*-section._width);
b.onPress = function() {
target = this.pos;
closeMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(1);
b.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
b.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
b._visible = false;
function closeMenu() {
for (var i = 0; i<menu.length; i++) {
var b = this["subButton"+i];
b._visible = false;
b._x = xStart;
b._y = yStart;
menuOpen = false;
mainButton.onPress = function() {
if (!menuOpen) {
theTime = getTimer();
menuOpen = true;
for (var i = 0; i<menu.length; i++) {
   _root.main["subButton"+i]._visible = true;
} else {
closeMenu();
mainButtoncopy.onPress = function() {
if (!menuOpen) {
theTime = getTimer();
menuOpen = true;
for (var i = 0; i<menu.length; i++) {
   _root.main["subButton"+i]._visible = true;
} else {
closeMenu();
function scrollButtons() {
if (menuOpen) {
for (var i = 0; i<menu.length; i++) {
   var b = this["subButton"+i];
   if ((theTime+b.interval)<getTimer()) {
    b._y += (b.target-b._y)/buttonScrollSpeed;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
content._x += (target-content._x)/imageScrollSpeed;
scrollButtons();

That's all AS2 code, so you'll be beter off posting in the AS2 forum.

Actionscript Help Needed

So this is how it goes...I've already made my website, I have
all the pages and everything made BUT...I have a few bugs. The
first starts at my login page, it is a universal login, so it has 2
usernames and passwords, I have the code for it but, It does not go
when I press the submit button. The next is when I get to my actual
website, all the webpages but one are all in different scenes. I
type in the code: on (press) {gotoAndPlay ("1","Corp") ; } but it
just goes the scene up next. I have no clue what is wrong here. I
also have a flaw with my loading page, whether than just loads fast
or not, the loading movie does not loop until the movie is loaded.
This page is also part of the movie. Can anyone help? The web
address is:
http://www.freewebs.com/cliop/
The code I am using on the button in my intro is:
on (press) {
if (username == "Cliop" or username == "X844495") {
if (password == "*********" or password == "*********") {
if (username== "Cliop" & password== "*********" or
username== "X844495" & password== "*********") {
gotoAndPlay("1", "Main");

there's an actionscript forum for your issue. Better chance
of getting help there.

Publish Error: Help needed, please!

When I attempt to publish my site changes from iWeb (I am set up to publish to my personal domain), I get the following error:
"Publish Error
Can’t create the file “cherub_overlay65.jpg.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
I do not have a photo called "cherub-overlay65.jpg." I think this jpg is part of one of the iWeb "themes."
Any advice? I have published previously and had no problem at all. =(
Thanks in advance!

OnRollOver actionscript help needed

Hi,
I want to insert an actionscript that when the user rolls
over an item, a movie clip shows up on screen at specific x and y
positions. I have only basic knowledge of flash actionscripting and
would appreciate any support. If someone could give me a basic
outline of the code, then I will probably be able to complete the
code myself.
Many Thanks

Swuut up
My Event Listener wont work once the thumb_mc has loaded the

//thumb_mc.loadMovie("images/dj1.jpg"); it works !!...but then all
im looking at is an empty movieClip that acknowledges when its

same result with an image loaded into the movieClip..mmMM.
The Code is attatched. If someone can help me out id really
appreciate it.
thanx

While I'm not going to post the working code for you, I can certainly point you in the right direction.
Take a look at the class java.util.GregorianCalendar. It contains methods (some located in Calendar) to do manipulations with dates. You should be able to use the API to figure out how to create two GregorianCalendar objects... one with the current date, one with the due date. Once you've got those, there are plenty of methods to retrieve the day of the week, the date in the month, etc. which will guide you to calculating your answer.
Excluding the weekends is going to be the trickier part, but then again, that's why it's your homework assignment. Try to get some code punched out, and if you have problems, come back here and post an exact problem, and someone will help out.

Actionscript help needed with getting Next Page to work

I just have a simple question (hopefully).
Question is:
I have a web page that displays a flash file that zooms and
pans, but I cant get the Next Page link to display. (will also want
1st, last and previous page)
1. Can the next page work and load the next or previous
numbered file?
2. Does it have to have all pages in one file, then it calls
the next frame?
Snippet below, or I can e-mail example files.
Please help, Thank you, Mike
============SNIPPET==========

<embed name="movie" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
src="1.swf" width="300" height="500">
</embed>

<form name="f" onsubmit="return false;">
<button name="button" onclick="next()">Next
Page</button>
<button onclick="zoom()">Zoom In</button>
<button onclick="zoom2()">Zoom Out</button>
<button onclick="pan()">Pan</button>
<button onclick="setzoomrect()">Rect</button>
</form>
function next() {
var flash = window.movie || document.movie; // Get Flash
object.
flash.Zoom(50);

Use the same method you are currently using. The Zoom and Pan
methods just happen to be exposed to the ActiveX control and
Plug-in. So to use the the GotoFrame() method for example, just
change your code from:
function next() {
var flash = window.movie || document.movie; // Get Flash
object.
flash.nextpage();
To this:
function next() {
var flash = window.movie || document.movie; // Get Flash
object.
flash.GotoFrame(20); // This will jump to frame 19 of your
main timeline.
It goes to frame 19 because the method you are using is
zero-based. Meaning to get to the first frame of your movie you
would pass the number zero.
To use the TCallLabel() method it would look like this:
function next() {
var flash = window.movie || document.movie; // Get Flash
object.
// to target the main timeline, use
flash.TCallLabel("/", "labelName");
// to target a movieclip on the main timeline use:
flash.TCallLabel("/MovieClip", "lableName");
Also, just so you know. These methods are getting antiquated.
To keep up with the current versions and methods of communicating
between JS and Flash you should really look into the
ExternalInterface class in Flash 8.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

If your fonts are changing when viewed on other computers - epecially those running windows - you need to look at using web-safe fonts...

Help need to switch Muse site to BC on a allready hosted plan

Hi, i also posted on BC forum...
I have a client that was in a hurry to have his emails accounts before the entire website.
So i went on and bought the email marketing plan (cos he will also need to do email campains) an pointed his domain everything is working fine, at this moment he has his accounts the domain is live.
The site would be just a small 7-10 pages not to complicated.
Has a graphic designer (who has venture into Business catalyst cos it had all the solutions i needed, well that's what the promotional videos said anyway) I made a site in Muse.
First i did a temporary page thats says "comming soon", and then i made the entire site, all the design and menu but with blank pages cos the client didnt have all the content yet (and still dont have). I uploaded that site to a sub directory so he could see the evolution.
He approved the design, yay!
At the end of the process, he told me he needed to have full control with the editor. (style, images, bulleted list, need to put downloadable document like pdf etc.) i told him that he could only modify what was allready there with the Muse in Browser editing (that he saw when i made the pitch using another site) he was impress with the way it worked.
so i told him i would have to remake "template".
I thought of using a BC template, and modify the looks to adapt to my client image, Of course, use a responsive theme so he could make the change at one place only. (cos in Muse you need to make the changes on the 3 layouts).
Now, i created a new temporary site using one of the new responsive template available.
How can i import that new site onto his live domain? In other words, how can a switch from a theme made in Muse, to a BC template?
cant i just delete everything in the root folder, and upload the entire new site via ftp?
please help me find the solution. i am a bit in a panic here
hope you could understand my lousy English.
Sincerely,
i.d.

This would need to be transparent for m'y client...

Thanks for additional details.
Unfortunately we cannot change site template of a live site in BC , but as a workaround Create a site from BC using the template you wish to use then publish the site from Muse to the site created from BC and transfer the contents stored from live site to trial site. Ater final transition is done , you can delete the already paid site and make live the new trial site which includes new site template.
Thanks,

Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
That's one problem.
The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
Can anyone help ? Thanks.

Thanks for replying,
How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Answering the questions :
- Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
- Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
- In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
With publishing :
- Please try to rename the image file and then relink
- If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
- Try again to publish
With e-mail from BC :
- Under preferences , please check the country selected.
- If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Digital Publishing Suite Help | Installing DPS tools

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/installing-digital-publishing-tools.h tml

Bob,
The only way this works, even theoretically (as we haven't tested it) is to first set the metadata for Minimum DPS Version and then open up every layout in play previously checked in to the earlier Sprint version and delete the DP Artboards, reset them and re-check in all layouts to update them with the new metadata. With an average issue size growing upwards of 300 dossiers, this becomes an untenable workflow imposition. When we first tried setting this metadata based on Dennis Van Nooij's instructions it did not work. We must plan such metadata strategies up to 3 months in advance of the issue as that's when the creatives begin working on it. To ask them to open up 500-700 layouts in the "transition" issues between Sprint updates and recheck them in is unreasonable considering our tight deadline cascade. We must retain compatibility with NIM and Google Play embedded readers and these are always lagging behind a Sprint version or two. We are releasing a new custom storefront soon which requires R26 but our folios must stay at R25 and we are not sure for how long we will need to retain this compatibility so the number of layouts that must be redundantly touched by Art/Edit operators under tight deadline turnarounds makes this whole strategy very difficult. Woodwing and Adobe need to understand more deeply the impact of their strategic decisions on the actual workflows of the art depts at the publishers on the front lines. I don't remember having been consulted on this before the installers were pulled out of circulation. There are still many dynamic factors that deeply influence our ability to maintain a healthy and fully operational Woodwing/Adobe eco-system; the only way we have been able to maintain consistency and navigate around the many bugs in the software is to nail down our environment so we can control how the pieces behave. Adobe has pulled this control out from under us.

I don't know how you could create the HTML. What I'm saying is that if you want hot spots in a panorama, you wouldn't use the Panorama overlay. You would need to figure out a way to create the panorama in HTML, and then use a Web overlay. I've never seen it done.
