Stop Right click and dragging

How do I stop right click save and also dragging of images from my site - I am not bothered about screen shots because at the enbd of the day - its just a screen shot.
Is there any way to do this on Muse or is there some code that I have to insert - I have seen a few disscusssions where they say you have to insert code - though nothing which really states what code and where to put it.
Also can any one explain meta data to me please and if I should apply it to my images as an extra precaution?
Thanks for the help

The associations menue in Bridge affects right clicking in Bridge only and has nothing to do with the file associations in Windows 7.
I am not trying to right click and edit a jpg file in Bridge! I am using the Windows explorer or desktop.
I need to find out how to change the file association for right click and edit with a jpg in Windows 7.
Thanks

Can't right click and drag clips anymore?

I recently started using version 3 and I can't get the right click and drag to work in multitrack view. I can't remember if it ever worked in this version, but it seems like these two things coincided. Am I missing something? Or could this be a different problem? I've checked and double checked, none of the clips are locked in time. All I wanna do is move files around!

Out of the four possible cursors in MV, you need to use the first one (the Hybrid tool) if you want to right-click and drag.

Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos on iweb?

Re: protecting photos when using iweb as your web designer...
Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos using iweb? I have seen tutorials about creating a text box around each image - but is there a better way?

However, there is no way you can prevent someone from making a screenshot of the image as it is displayed on the screen no matter what application you use to create the web page.
You can add a watermark to dissuade the casual "thief" but those who are serious about stealing the photo for their own use can remove the watermark with some effort.

Captivate 2 right-click and drag and drop in simulation

Captivate has been suggested as a suitable replacement for
Authorware since the announcement that Adobe doesn't plan to
continue with Authorware. I find myself in the position to put this
to the test. I'm in the process of recreating a course that had
been created in Authorware in a toolset comprised of Artuculate
Presenter, Articulate Quizmaker, Articulate Engage, Captivate, and
PowerPoint.
The simulation created in Authorware has these feautures:
-learner right clicks on items on screen to see a context
menu then selects option from the context menu
-learner drags toolbar and other items on screen to another
screen location
-learner selects item from Windows Start>>Program and
other application menus. As the learner's mouse moves over the
menu, menu options highlight and flyout menus appear even if
they're not directly involved in the simulation
-learner logs into course with an employee ID number. This
information is stored and is used in the simulation in which they
log into the system being simulated.
Can I do any of these things in Captivate?
I suspect I can simulate the flyout menus with a number of
mouse over hotspots - exactly the way it's done in Authorware.
However, I haven't found any way to do simulate the other items:
-use of drag and drop where the learner performs the action
-use of a variable value to check validity of what has been
entered in the text field
-use of right click to advance Captivate simulation.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me. After all, I've
heard many people claim that Captivate can replace Authorware.
Thanks

Hi Grace,
Captivate is indeed a replacement for Authorware, but only in
the way that an Audi is a replacement for a Ferrari. They do the
same basic job, but you need to do some after market modifications
to the Audi to level the playing field somewhat.
1) Flyout menus are indeed possible, if you're willing to
create "rollovers" that display a picture of the expanded menu when
the user mouses over. You are limited to exposing only first-level
menus, however. Captivate does not allow for rollovers on
rollovers, except possibly via Captivate 3's Slidelet
functionality.
***EDIT***: You can also use Paul Dewhurst's rollover widgets
to fake multi-level menu behavior. They are available from Paul's
site here:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=29
2) Drag-and-drop in Captivate is currently only available as
an add-in Flash object, each of which must unfortunately be built
by hand in Flash. Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst offers
source files for such interactions on his website:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=29
3) Captivate has built-in checking of field values, but you
are limited to hardcoded values only. If you need variable-based
input checking, you must create it yourself in Flash and insert it
as an animation.
4) Right-click is possible in Captivate, but must be added
manually. Captivate community contributor William Heinz has created
a nifty right-click solution for HTML/SWF publication and Paul
Dewhurst again comes to the rescue with a solution for .EXE-based
output:
HTML/SWF-based Output:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/rightclick.html
EXE-based Output:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=29
Unfortunately, making these modifications to Captivate files
comes at a cost. First, there's the overhead of tracking down and
implementing the custom enhancements. More importantly, Captivate
has no way of "scoring" custom enhancements, so any such
interactions will not be reflected in the user's reported results.
If you're willing to live with these limitations, and a few
others, Captivate can indeed be a suitable replacement for
Authorware.

I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Can't Stop Clicking and Dragging

My trackpad on my MBP will not stop clicking and dragging, even when I'm not clicking. Whenever I move, it thinks I'm clicking and dragging.

I guess it did not work. It started again. If the update is responsible, I think that that update should be ignored. I don't think it is benefitting anyone at all unless you buy the new magic trackpad which is what we already have. I am going to reinstall and ignore the update for the trackpad. That is, unless apple make an update that corrects this problem. This isn't like apple to make a bad update. I wonder.

When I click on a new site I want it to AUTOMATICALLY come up in a new tab WITHOUT HAVING TO RIGHT CLICK AND PUT 'OPEN IN NEW TAB'. It used to do this but has stopped,..., how do I do this?

Always before when I wanted to click on a new website or a location I found searching google for example, the new website or place I found ALWAYS POPPED UP IN A NEW TAB AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT me having to right click and say 'open in new tab'. For some reason it is not doing that anymore and when I click on an item it is coming up in the tab I am currently in. How can I set FF to automatically open a new tab whenever I click on a new site like it did before? This is driving me nuts since I am not a computer person at all and had it working the way I was used to before. Please help me fix it back.
Thank you so much.

You can also hold down the Ctrl key and left-click or use an extension to force opening a link in a new tab.

I can't click and drag my Frank Deford Podcast to my Ipod. I have being doing it for years and about a month ago it stopped working. I do not understand

Is it possible to play an animation by clicking and dragging?

I currently have right and left arrow buttons to control an animation.
I was wondering if it's possible to control the animation by dragging the mouse? So if the user clicked and dragged the mouse to the left it would play the animation, then when they released the click it would stop. And if they dragged to the right it would play in reverse.
I've been looking around and haven't found anything on this topic. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, cameronnicol-
The code should work on the Stage, as it's internally just a symbol. You should ensure that you reference the object as Stage in your code and not stage (note the capitalization). The other thing to consider is that click and drag events are not very performant on devices; touch events generally register very quickly and will give your users a better experience.

Can't click and drag bookmarks

My Firefox updated a couple of days ago. While I was moving bookmarks today the click and drag stopped working. I tried several restarts and same problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same problem. Running Windows 7. Works fine on another computer using Windows XP.

Could you describe your problem with more details?
Where are you dragging the bookmarks?
Is this to organize them or are you tying to move a link the the Bookmarks Toolbar to bookmark a web site?
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display a hidden menu bar)
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

Click and drag to control frame advance

I have a layer that contains a movie clip, instance name wwr_mc, which has nineteen frames. I have figured out how to script a roll-over function to continously move from one frame to another by rolling over the prev, or next buttons, using this code:
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(10);
var t:Timer=new Timer(250,0);
var dir:int;
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,onNextFrame);
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,right);
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopIF);
function right(e:MouseEvent): void {
    dir=-1;
    t.start();
    wwr_mc.nextFrame();
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,left);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopIF);
function left(e:MouseEvent): void {
    dir=+1;
    t.start();
    wwr_mc.prevFrame();
function stopIF(e:Event): void {
    t.stop();
function onNextFrame(e:TimerEvent): void {
    wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(wwr_mc.currentFrame + dir);
This type of navigation, while functional, is not really codusive to what I'm trying to accomplish. I would like to be able to click and drag the mouse and have the frames advance forward or backward depending on the direction of the mouse movement.
I tried using the MOUSE_Move event with very limited success.
Any suggestions would be helpful!
Thanks!

I don't see anything via that link that I can relate to this posting.
If you want to make the change in frames happen solely based on the direction (x) that the mouse is being moved, then you need to test the current position of the mouse against the last known position...
var startPosition:Number = mouseX;
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(10);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
function onMouse(e:MouseEvent): void {
    if (mouseX-startPosition >= 0) {
        wwr_mc.nextFrame();
    } else {
        wwr_mc.prevFrame();
   startPosition = mouseX;
I am not sure what you find as being too fast. When you are doing things relative to an extended event, such as a mouse being moved for some time, then it is highly likely that the event will execute the event handler function repeatedly... as fast as the frame rate of the file allows. So if you want more control of the rate at which mouse moves effect nextFrame/prevFrame function calls, then you need to build in some form of delay. In the example below, it takes the form of removing the mouse move event listener for a short period using a timing function (setTimeout in this example, though you could use the Timer class as well)
var startPosition:Number = mouseX;
var delayTime = 250; // 0.25 sec
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(10);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
function onMouse(e:MouseEvent): void {
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
    var currentPosition:Number = mouseX;
    if (currentPosition-startPosition >= 0) {
        wwr_mc.nextFrame();
    } else {
        wwr_mc.prevFrame();
   setTimeout(setListener, delayTime);
function setListener(){
   startPosition = mouseX;
   stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);

Mouse click and drag through turntable animation

Hi all,
First - thanks for taking the time to look through and possibly helping me with this question.
I'm just getting to grips with flash cc actionscript 3.0 - so I apologise in advance to my not so technical jargon.
In the past I have used actionscript 1.0 to create an interactive html file that contains a turntable animation of a 3D model. Users can mouse click and drag to the left or right to 'spin' the model around - however what they are really doing is scrubing through the timeline which contained 360 images of it from 360 degrees. Similar ideas can be found here: Interactive Thyroidectomy
Now annoying I can't use the old code any more as I'm working in the latest flash cc actionscript 3.0
So how do I do the same thing but in actionscript 3.0?
So I've worked this bit out so far
On my main stage I have two layers - actions layer and another layer with my movie clip (movieclip_mc)
In the actions layer so far:
movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
//I should put something in here about mouseX - but no idea what
function onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void
movieclip_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent):void
//I have to put something in about total frames - width of movieclip_mc etc but I'm not sure how
// this is what someone else did on another forum - but I'm not sure what it means:
     var delta:int = backgroundClip.mouseX - clickedMouseX;
   var wantedFrame:uint = (clickedFrame + delta * clip.totalFrames / backgroundClip.width) % clip.totalFrames;
   while (wantedFrame < 1)
wantedFrame += clip.totalFrames;
clip.gotoAndStop(wantedFrame);
Also I think i need something in the beginning like.....:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var clickedMouseX:int;
var clickedFrame:uint;
var backgroundClip:Sprite = getChildByName("background") as Sprite;
var clip:MovieClip = getChildByName("animation") as MovieClip;
clip.stop();
clip.mouseEnabled = false;
.....but I'm a bit confused about what all of it means
So I understand the principle but no idea how to actually make it work - Could anyone help explain it to me or help with the code?
Thanks so much to anyone who can offer some help
Catherine

Hi Ned,
sorry to bother you again on this subject -
the script...
function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent): void {
movieclip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(mouseX/movieclip.width*(movieclip.totalFrames-1))+1 )
worked fine - but when you click and drag on the movie clip it didn't always get to the end of the movie and never carried on through the frames back to the beginning like i wanted it to (such as this one does Interactive Thyroidectomy)
So I went back to the older 2.0 script and played with it a bit to be :
function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent): void {
changeDistance = movieclip.mouseX - startX;
travelDistance = startFrame + changeDistance;
if (travelDistance > movieclip.totalFrames) {
movieclip.gotoAndStop (travelDistance % movieclip.totalFrames);
} else if (travelDistance < 0) {
movieclip.gotoAndStop (movieclip.totalFrames + (travelDistance % movieclip.totalFrames));
} else {
movieclip.gotoAndStop (travelDistance);
.... which almost works but it is very stuttery to mouse over and then it has this output error..

I've obviously put some code in the wrong place - could you help me find out what it might be?
I haven't labelled any frames odd numbers such as 15.4499999999999989 or labeled scenes than number either.
I can send you my scene if that would help?
Thanks very much for your time Ned
(p.s Or maybe if it is easier you might offer some guidance as to how i can change the action script
function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent): void {
movieclip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(mouseX/movieclip.width*(movieclip.totalFrames-1))+1 )
to allow it to be more like Interactive Thyroidectomy

Double-click and drag don't open image files

Hi,
I'm having problems loading images in Preview and Adobe apps (CS1).
From Finder, I can double click to open an image in Preview but it only opens the first image, and won't load more than one. I've tried changing the preferences to "open groups of images in the same window" or "open all images in one window." Neither solve the problem.
My adobe apps won't open a file when I double click it from the finder at all. I have to use the "open" command from within the application to open an image file.
I am a designer and photographer trying to browse groups of images at once and this is driving me crazy! I have tried copying over different preference files from my old computer (a powerbook G4), and I'm wondering if I either failed to copy the right one or copied something that is interfering with the shortcut actions.
The interesting part is, that the same actions are working fine for other kinds of files -- for example, I can open multiple word documents by double clicking their icons in Finder.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you.
Amy Hengst

Hi Amy
What kind of files are these? If I wanted to open multiple images in Preview (be they BMP, JPEG, PSD, whatever) I would select them and drag onto the Preview icon in the Dock which opens the first image in a single window with the remaining images in a 'thumbnail drawer' to the right (like you get with big PDF documents).
On the other hand if I double-click, 10 to 1 it would launch Photoshop which I use as an image editor only, not an image manager or viewer. You can of course change the application which any document uses to open it, with the Get Info window. But if you use more than one application (as I do - PS to edit, Preview to just view), then click-and-drag onto the Dock might be your best bet.
