Sudden trouble tweening text

Hi,
Hopefully someone has had this issue before and managed to
resolve it. For the last couple of times I have opened Flash I have
been unable to tween text. I am turning it into a Graphic symbol
and using a Motion tween as I have always done. The tween is
working (if I slide the timeline scrubber across I can see the
effect working) but when I preview (CTRL, Enter) the text just
stays in its full Alpha state and refuses to tween
Any ideas!!?!?
Thanks,
Ben

glad you worked it out - yeah searching the forums is the
answer - i personally have helped answer
this a number of times so it has been reported.

How do I know if my mouse is bad? I'm having trouble highlighting text with my mouse, model A1152

How do I know if my mouse needs to be replaced or if it something else? I am having increasing trouble highlighting text, it either won't hold the highlighting, or it won't highlight . . . making it impossible to create a link in my emails, to delete text, or copy and paste.
I have an iMac that is about 4 years old and the mouse that came with it uses a USB port to connect.
Thanks for any information or suggestions.

Is it one of those with a little moving/rotating ball on the bottom of it? Have you ever taken that out and cleaned it and the area holding it? It could be dust/dirt in there. I always used a QTip slightly moistened with alcohol.

Trouble manipulating text in PSE9

Running PSE9 under Mac OS X 10.6.8.
There are some things I've forgotten about working with straightforward black-on-white text entry.
1) While doing text entry, the entire document turns pink, and keystrokes generate white text. When I accept it with a green check, it changes to moving diagonal shadows and it doesn't solidify until I save it.
(I had inserted a .jpg file here showing an example of the problem, but it disappeared when I posted the article.)
2) If by some lucky keystroke it settles down, I don't seem to be able to get back into the text box to edit its contents; i.e. correct typos, change font size, etc.
I'd appreciate any sympathetic help.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about the little camera. Thanks.
We've finally got it licked, thanks to you guys. The image mode I had was Bitmap. When I went in to change it, the only other choice I had was grayscale -- the others were all dimmed -- so I checked that. When I went in a second time, nothing was dimmed so I chose RGB color.
Layers started working for me, giving me the versatility that I needed.
I discovered that there's a great difference between the foreground/background colors and the font color!
Finally (you're not going to believe this!) I was having trouble editing text because I was green-checking the text box before I tried the text work!
The thing is, I knew all this stuff at one time, but I'm out of practice, and my memory is shot. What do you expect? I turned 78 last week.
Thanks again!

Suddenly, I cannot text my friends Barb or Jeanne from my iPhone4s. They can text me. We can talk.

Suddenly, I cannot text my friends Barb or Jeanne from my iPhone4s. They can text me. We can talk.
When I try to text them, I receive a message from 923-0 "Message sent using invalid number of digits. Please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code. Msg 2114".
Sprint cannot fix. Says it's an Apple problem. Tried reentering the number, reformatting the number, updating, etc.
Used to be able to text Barb. Cannot think what changed.

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Motion Tween Text

Hello -
I am trying to motion tween text and it is not working. It looks jerky. I am trying to create a "rubberband" effect on some text and two tutorials I found online used the Motion Tween. I right click and select Motion Tween and I see the blue shading but when testing it looks like there is no tween and looks jerky.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I am using Flash CS5.5
Thanks!!

- Only a object can be animated for each layer. (blue shading have a doted line?)
- Is best if the text is a Symbol (select the text and press F8)

Suddenly I cannot text one specific contact

Suddenly I cannot text one specific contact. They can text me and we can both call each other. My service provider shows no record of texts being sent, even though they appear to be sent from my iphone 4s. Can anyone help?

Tween Text too jerky

What can I do to smooth the jerkiness of my tweening text? The actual textFields are all already set to "anti-alias form animation". But they aren't behaving as nicely as they could be. I tried embedding the font etc...

Using the onUpdate property sounds like it would help a lot but I am not sure how to pass that number to the Tween...
Since I am using TweenLite to create the tween how do I get it to hit only whole pixels?
TweenLite.to(mc, time, {x:fmotion, scaleX:.96, scaleY:.96, onUpdate:functionForWholePixels, ease:Linear.easeNone});
//but I would have to somehow pass that variable back into and already created tween..... I don't understand.
Thanks for all your help,

IWork suddenly stops placing text in documents. Trying to enter a letter produces a space bar.

Recently installed Mavericks and updated iWorks. Since then, the cursor in either Pages or Keynote suddenly stops entering text and instead each attempted character acts like the space bar.

No, sorry you do indeed have Pages '09 (your comment on the icon fooled me) and need to update it to v4.3 to make it compatible with Mavericks:

Pages 5 is the new Mavericks only version. Best avoided till Apple fixes it.

Having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software

Hi there,
I am having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software to IOS7. Also I am unable to get i messenger to work, it keeps saying waiting for authorization. I am wondering if anyone else is having these issues and what I can do to fix it.
Thanks,

She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine. Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

Trouble selecting text

I've never had trouble selecting text by moving the cursor to the beginning of the text and holding down the "mouse" and scrolling down to the end of the area to be copied, pressing the command button + c and voila! But tonight, the spooks have come and won't let me go directly to anything that is about 6 double spaced lines from the bottom of the page and then wants to put some light sepia colored box. I'm working on my dissertation and I don't need this trouble. PLEASE, PLEASE help me figure out if I've accidentally set something wrong. I need answers ASAP.

While it's readable, export your document as Word and as RTF so you will have ways to revive it if needed.
Try to export it as Pages '08
then open the new Pages '08 document in Pages '09 in hope that the transcoding will clean the odd behavior.
You may also try to open the doc in an other user account. If it behaves well, you will know that something is corrupted in your current account.
Most of the time it's the Preferences file :
Macintosh HD:Users:<userAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
Quit Pages
drag the preferences file on the Desktop
Restart Pages.
If it behave flawlessly, the problem was in the prefs. Continue to work with the newly created prefs file.
If nothing change, move the preferences file back in it original location to retrieve your original settings.
