Smaller problem with handling frame-borders in dreamweaver 8

Hello people
I have build a website using a frameset in dreamweaver 8.
Ewerything works fine, except i cannot drag in my frames when i
re-open the page. I try to select frames in the "windows" bar, and
click on the different frames to make the frame-border appear, but
it does not. Only dotted lines that indicate the selected frame
appear.
mabe there is a button somewhare that make the draggeble
borders come back..
if anybody knows the anwser to my problem - please write.
Thanks

Why? Are you familiar with all the problems associated with
choosing frames
for you layout?
> except i cannot drag in my frames when i re-open the
page
Hmm - I don't understand this. You have created a frameset
page in which
you define your frames, right? And you have saved both the
frame pages, and
the frameset page, right? So, you next open which page? The
frameset? Or
the frame page?

Problems with dropped frames in FCP 4.5 Log & Capture

Thanks for the advice on my previous post regarding sound problems - those are now sorted, but I am having problems with dropped frames in Log and Capture. I am using FCP 4.5 with OS X 10.4.10 on a Powermac G4. CPU 867 mhz dual processor. L2 Cache 256 kb, L3 cache 1 mb. Memory 1g. Bus speed 133hz. I am capturing from a Canon XM1 via Firewire. The scratch disk is a 500gb Seagate FreeAgent USB 2.0, 7200rpm.
Basically, the video and audio are fine while playing back in Log and Capture and I can control the device, but any attempt to capture, whether Capture Now or Clip result in a very jerky picture and aborts with dropped frames after a few seconds. The sound is ok for the few seconds before it aborts. There do not appear to be any problems with the timecode.
My capture preset is DV Pal 48hz.
Any advice or pointers gratefully received.
Thanks, Ally

Well quite. I have just tried it in the internal hard drive and it works fine now. I am going to have to capture everything to my small hard drive and move it across to the external. Then, when I have finished I am going to bang my head against the wall and buy an external HDD with Firewire.
Thanks,
Ally

Problems with still frames blurring in Final Cut Express....

I have had problems with still frames blurring. I've discovered it's related to the green line above the time line on the sequence bar. I can't find the name of the bar but it's red if you need rendering. There are green lines and when the scrubber hits the line the frame goes blurry.
I'm guessing it's related to another previous attempt at adding motion to the still. My question, I think, is how to eliminate the green lines to the regular blue?
jb

If there are any colored bars above your video other than the normal grey/light blue then you need to render the sequence out by hitting Option-R.

I have a small problem with MSI GF4 MX 420

Hi,
I have a small problem with MSI G4MX420-T(S+C) ( MS-8878 ). Exactly with nVidia WDM Video Capture (universal), which " can't be turned on " by Windows XP.
I have also new drivers ...
Could someone help me?

If you only have 10 seconds of content in a 15-second composition, then you need to either add more content or shorten your composition.
You can shorten the composition by changing the duration in the composition settings.
Since you're obviously very new to After Effects, I very strongly recommend that you start here to learn After Effects.

Some small problems with my new 3G iPhone

Having some small problems with my new iPhone, nothing major, just annoying.
1. When I plug my iPhone in to charge/sync my Adobe photoshop keeps trying to download the photos on my iPhone, which causes an error message from Adobe that it can't download and it stops all syncing and removes my iPhone from iTunes. I have to unplug and reinsert USB cable and sometimes it works ok and sometimes I have to reinsert again. Also when charging, it will disconnect, reconnect and the samething all over again, photoshop trying to get photos and an error message.
2. Can't send e-mails via 3G? Only can get, have to connected to a WiFi to send e-mails, or is this normal?

When your iPhone includes photos in the Camera Roll, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer, and whichever app you have selected to import photos will automatically launch to import the photos. If you haven't imported these photos, it is a good idea to do so as with any other digital camera. I import the photos followed by deleting the photos from the iPhone after the import process is complete. If I want any of the imported photos available on my iPhone for viewing, I add the photos to an existing album that is selected to be transferred to my iPhone under the Photos tab for my iPhone sync preferences, or add the photos to a new album followed by selecting the album under the Photos tab followed by a sync.
If your iPhone's Camera Roll does not include any photos that have not been imported, Adobe Photoshop should not launch automatically when your iPhone is connected.
I know how to disable the selected application for photo import from launching automatically regardless with a Mac, but not with Windows.
Regarding the sending email problem, who is the email account provider and does the email account provider have an authenticated SMTP server?
Most ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection unless the SMTP server is authenticated. When connected to the internet via AT&T's cellular network, it is no different in this regard. AT&T's SMTP server is included and available by default for use with an email account that does not have an authenticated SMTP server when connected to the internet via AT&T's cellular network, but you probably won't be able to use this SMTP server for sending messages with the account when connected to the internet with your ISP via an available wi-fi network - especially if the email account is provided by your ISP.
I access two email accounts with the iPhone's mail client and both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server. I've never had any problems sending with either account regardless the ISP being used for an available wi-fi network, or when connected via AT&T's cellular network.

Problems with margins and borders in a fluid grid layout

When I create a page using the built-in fluid brid layout option in Dreamweaver CC, I have problems adding margins and borders. to the elements I've added to the page.
Is there a method to prevent the above occurring?

Hi Ken
I'm sizing each element to specific grid sizes and, working in the "show fluid grid layout guides" view am aligning the second element alongside the first by click the "up" arrow. e.g.:
I'm using a 24 grid layout (mainly because I thought it would allow more flexibility when working on two or three column layouts)
I have the first element 10 grids wide (41.348% wide) and the second element 14 grids wide (56.9% wide)
I've populated the first element with text including an h2, h3 and p element
In the second element I've inserted an EasyRotator slideshow
The third element is below the first containing text . That is also 10 grids wide
The fourth element also contains text and is 9 grids wide and has margins of left = 8% and right = 7% so that it appears below the gallery and it has a border around it.
The problem occors when I try to place a border around the element containing the EasyRotator. When I do, it become too large and drops below the first element.
How can I control this problem?
Thanks in anticipation.
David
P.S. Can you recomment any tutorials that provide info on the above.
I'm subscribed to Lynda.com, have searched adobe TV and looked at all the tutorials that are provided through Dreamweaver CC Help.
Nowhere can I find the above subject covered.
I'd like to find a tutorial which also provides exercise files to work with if possible.

Problem with opening html page in Dreamweaver

Hello,
I would like to ask the forum because I have a problem with Dreamweaver 8.
In the past when I work with my PC on Windows XP I didn't have this problem.
Now I have a new PC with Windows 7 Familial Edition Premium.
I can open he most pages I would like, .htm particuliarly but some of them like .html don't opened in Dreamweaver 8
on PC with Windows 7.
Example:
With this page: http://www.pb-veille-consulting.com/veille.html
I can open it with Dreamweaver 8 under Windows XP on my portable PC.
But I can't open it with Dreamweaver 8 under Windows 7 on my fix PC.
Where is the problem?
You could watch the code of this page and perharps give me answers from my question.
Thanks a lot.
Patrick.

It could be that Extensions.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml do not have the full set file extensions.
The first one can be located at ~username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6/en_us/Configuration and needs to have HTML added to line 1
The second one can be located at ~username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6/en_us/Configuration/DocumentTypes and needs to have HTML added to line 3 so that it looks like
<documenttype id="HTML" internaltype="HTML" winfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,stm,tpl,lasso,xhtml" macfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,tpl,lasso,xhtml,ssi" file="Default.html" writebyteordermark="false" mimetype="text/html">

Major problems with dropped frames while trying to capture

Are there any settings where you can change the sensitivity of FCP HD or any settings that I am not aware of?
Trying to capture from DigiBeta through a Sony J30 SDI, the whole thing wount go for a minute without intruption and dropped frames.
I have tryed several tapes and finally I tried to copy through FireWire on to MiniDV on my XL1on a new unused DV-tape and then from there on capture into FCP but the problem remains.
I have had some minor problems with this earlier but never as severe.
I am capturing onto a Lacie BigDisc hooked up through Firewire 800 and there ia 170 GB free so thet should not be a problem.

Andreas,
The J30 specs state "All standard definition, half-inch Betacam format tapes, dating back some twenty years, can now easily be converted to a 25 Mbps DV signal and transferred to a compatible DV device via a single digital interface cable.", but you say you've tried that, and from the specs I'm assuming you'd need some conversion from the deck to go straight into FCP...like a Canopus or like you did dropping to DV tape.
Have you tried a different FW port and/or cable?
Other posts have mentioned changes of FW cables or ports as a solution, so I'm inclined to agree with David that you may require a FW800 card...we purchased one, when we bought our Big Disk Extreme. However, I don't capture to it, only archives and storage.
Are you trying to capture internally to your system drive? (I'd guess not, as I've read some of your posts and would be surprised if you were)
Any recent upgrades/updates or other changes in your config?

A small problem with my Zen Xtra 60 turned into a bigger problem. Help me save it

What started as a small problem has grown to a big mess. My Zen xtra 60 GB unit started going to "Rebuilding Library" often. With 5000 Wma's on it, this rebuild was taking 30 minutes. So what I attempted to fix with reloading firmware to recognize the new Windows Media Player version, has left me with a dead unit.
I have followed many of the solutions, that have been able to fix other peoples units, but to no avail. While my computer sees the unit, none of the firmware loads will see the player. I fixed what was said in the register. Went through the 4 options of the "Rescue Mode" on the player, followed several of the knowledge notes on procedures, including hooking unit up to a new Dell Laptop. Exactly the same problem happens on a different computer.
I guess my first step is to get the computer to see the MP3 player when I run a firmware install.
Tell me what to do to save my little player.
Thanks Scott

I've had a similar experience, but to a degree. I've found that if I don't use my <EM>40GB</EM> Zen Xtra for more than one day the player will "re-build" the library... but in my case once the library has been re-built it plays just fine; none of my songs or memory are lost.
Why does the player have to "re-build" the library if the player is not used for a period of time?

Recursive mergeSort... small problem with infinate recursion.

Problems with text box borders, tabbing and saving doc in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0

When I view my form document in Acrobat Reader, there is a red border around several text boxes
in which I've selected 'NO border'
Also, I've selected 'column order' for tabbing, but tabs continue to function in order in which I inserted form item (text box, check box or radial button). Since I didn't insert these consecutively, tabs no jump all around the form instead of proceeding in order from top to bottm and left to right.
I've checked for Mac Acrobat Pro updates and see that there are three - 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and 7.1.4, and am downloading them for install.
Do any of the updates fix these problems? Or how can it be fixed?
On opening document in Reader, I also get a message informing that document cannot be saved with changes and must be printed, even though I've created it with fillable forms.
Is there some setting for allowing document to be saved?
I want to be able to have recipient be able to download form, fill it out, save changes, attach to email and return it to me.

This has been a problem since version 8 on the mac. Acrobat 7 on the mac worked fine with the right side trim but not on the PC.
We are still having this problem with Acrobat 9.4.0 on the Mac & PC.
This has now been an issue for 2 versions of Acrobat Pro.(8 & 9)
Being in Pre Press and having to constantly set the trim for jobs, this is now taking up too much time and costing money.
Please fix this Adobe.
and on another note. how hard would it be to display the trim (if set) next to where the page size is?
If the trim is set it should display it! why should we have to go to document/crop pages>trim.
Im in a busy Pre Press Dept and the amount of times you have to check a trim size is stupid.
I always set prefs to display crop / trim / and bleed boxes and this helps but it should display it if its set.
Thanks
Hope this is resolved soon.

Small problem with applescript

Hello Again,
Every day I use a morning script to launch my programs I have to use... and some more things...
Aldo I have a problem with Golive.
When I try to type activate in the editor it makes a bigg A.
Also with cut and past.
and when i run the applescript-program it does all I need ( The golive part is at the end... but when I place it in the middle it's just stops.
I get this fault message : Can't continue <event Coreactv>
and i guess it has something to do with the A-ctivate
Is this a bugg? Or can someone explain this?
I would like to do more after launching Golive..
tell application "Extensis Suitcase X1"
activate
end tell
tell application "Mail"
activate
end tell
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS"
activate
end tell
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
activate
end tell
tell application "Adobe GoLive CS"
Activate
end tell

Some apps don't respond well to tell blocks. I don't have that app to test, but you could try using something like launch "TextEdit" or tell app "Finder" to open posix file "/Applications/TextEdit.app" to improve your results. Sometimes an ignoring application responses block can help too.

Problems with distorted frames when making movies in After Effects

I'm a 3D animator. When I get through with
rendering all of the frames of an animation and they're fine, I create a preview in After FX and it builds and plays back the preview fine. But when I go to make a movie, with those same frames, it produces frames in different spots which are blurred, stretched, distorted, spun and or dropped. What could be causing this? N E help is greatly appreciated.

There MUST be a simple answer to this problem....
There is a simple answer indeed.
Here it is:
The highlighted button in the Comp panel enables Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) Correction.
So, instead of stretching the footage horizontally, you create a Composition with the same frame aspect and Pixel Aspect Ratio as your source footage (just drag the clip to the New Comp button in the project panel and AE will automate this) and then enable PAR correction and After Effects will give you a corrected (deanamorphized) preview so you won't see it squeezed at all on a computer monitor. When you export it, it will look squeezed until you take it to the target video application. Any professional video application will handle this correctly.Millions of people do this every day, since non-square pixels are still dominant among the most popular video formats.
Even Photoshop has had support for non-square pixels (and PAR correction in the document panel) since CS (ie. Photoshop 8.0).
Note that when you turn on PAR correction (just like when you use odd magnification levels) AE switches to a draft filtering mode, which makes type and other elements look a bit jagged. Don't worry, it's just a preview.
The ideal solution, and the one video professionals rely on, is adding video output hardware to your computer, so you can connect a professional video monitor. After Effects can provide a live preview using such a set-up.
For more information on PAR, see Pixel aspect ratio and frame aspect ratio in After Effects Help.

Font problems with Gill Sans Light in Dreamweaver

The following site: www.cabrackett.com/testSite has a very small testing html page illustrating a problem I have been having with Gill Sans Light.
In Dreamweaver CS4 Design View, Gill Sans Light displays properly. When viewed in a browser (Firefox 3.5.3) or in Live View, a generic serifed font shows up. Assuming that the only reason for this could be improper installation of the Gill Sans Light font, I opened MS Word and the Gill Sans Light font works perfectly.
Also, when Gill Sans Bold is used, instead of light, the font does show up properly in all cases: Design View, Live View, and Firefox.
Any ideas what is going on? If the Light font were corrupted then how could it work in MS Word?
Thanks,
Chuck
MacPro, OSX 10.5.8, Dreamweaver CS4, Firefox 3.5.3

As Joe says, Gill Sans Light isn't "web-safe" because browsers rely on the font being present on the user's computer. I don't have Gill Sans Light on my computer, but I do have Gill Sans MT. As soon as I changed your CSS to Gill Sans MT, it worked.
Because fonts are dependent on what is available on the user's computer, you should always specify several fonts in order of preference, and end with a generic font (serif, sans-serif, monospace, cursive, or fantasy). For example:
body {
font-family:"Gill Sans Light", "Gill Sans MT", Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
The first one available on the user's computer will be displayed. If none is available, a generic sans-serif font will be used instead.
