Text links in Flash CS5 - Am I doing something wrong?

Hi all, I tried searching for an answer but did'nt have much luck. I decided to finally learn how to do a web page in Flash and everything is progressing except for text links. I'm importing a .psd file and I keep the text as editable, the page has 5 text links plus a text logo, the logo text link works when tested (returning to the home page) but the links to the other pages do nothing. I have tried each one seperately, pointing to both the intended page as well as the home page with no luck, the only one that I can get to work is the logo text. I have also tried grouping the text for links seperate from static text in Photoshop. I'm sure it's something simple and I'm probably over thinking things but whatever the case I can't get it to work.
Thanks
Pat

It figures 5 minutes after posting this question I was able to get the links working in the test window. What I did was I imported the .psd to the stage and after defining a url for the text link I DID NOT assign a target, wha la it worked.

    I have a Windows 8.1 and it's even running slow.  I'm a complete novice with computers (I've only had this one for 3 weeks) and I'm probably doing something wrong, but I haven't a clue what.
    The tools are not responding when I try to use them.  Some of them work sometimes, but not others and some don't work at all.  I'm in a design class online and I need these tools desperately.  I have an assignment due Monday and I'm losing the whole weekend because Tech Support is only open M-F!
    Any help anyone can give me will be appreciated.

  • Bug in shuffle? or am I doing something wrong?

    Hi,
    I have a number of 1-minute clips that each have a 3 second text name on them in track v2. I've decided I want to re-order some of the clips, and I'm having more trouble with it than expected.
    First I tried to attach the name to the audio and video clips using
    Modify->Link, but that does not seem to work for linking two video clips in the timeline together. (I also tried attaching the text to one of the audio tracks, but all that did was unlink the "real" video that went with the audio.)
    I decided it's not that hard to just select both video tracks for each move, I'll just shuffle them together. I can't get shuffle to work properly! It worked (sortof) once. I selected both video and audio tracks, dragged them to the new location, hit "Option", watched the pointer change, and released the mouse. The selection moved, but instead of rippling the change down, it left a gap. It did not overwrite the other item in the track as though I had not hit option.
    I can work around that I'll just be left with a gap as I move segments forward to where the correct sequence is.
    Now comes the problem: I can't even repeat that! It seems no matter what I do, I can't shuffle segments in the timeline, they will overwrite. I've tried moving just the V1 segment, with the intent of moving the text later, no luck; it overwrites! I make sure that the arrow changes when I press the option key, and it does, although sometimes it changes to the right arrow instead of the little bendy one. Either way it overwrites instead of inserting. I've tried cmd-x cmd-v to cut and paste, but again it overwrites.
    Is this a bug I've triggered? or am I doing something wrong? I've read through page 200-201, volume 2 of the manual fairly carefully and I think I'm doing it right.
    I am using FCP 5.0.4.
    Thanks,
    --Beth
    PS. Even if it did work correctly, I think I'd prefer to shuffle automatically, and overwrite by pressing the option key. Is there any way to set that in a preference?

    It always works for me. You cannot shuffle multiple clips. Well, if you do, it will leave a gap. Why? dunno.
    I believe if your video and audio are not linked (cmd-L and you can only link audio and video, not multiple video clips) they will be considered multiple clips.
    The "bendy" arrow is the one you want and it varies based on where in the track your pointer is. Lower - insert, upper (I think) leaves a gap. Also, I always press the option key after I've started moving, but before it settles, but I don't think that should affect your operation as long as you push option after you've started moving, but before you let go.
    As to changing the option behavior, I don't think there's a way...

  • HT201318 Hello. I have just built a website using iWeb but cannot upload it. I curently have the 25gb account. There doesn't appear to be any facility here for the net. ASm I correct in thinking I need an upgrade, or am I doing something wrong?  Thanks

    iCloud does not provide website hosting. You will need to find another website hosting service - there are many to choose from - and upload your site there. How you do this depends on what version of iWeb you have.
    In order to upload your existing site in iWeb '09 and above:
    Click on the name of the site in the sidebar: the publishing settings pane will open. Set 'Publish to' to 'FTP'. Enter the name of the site and a contact address (if desired).
    In the 'FTP Server Settings' section you will need to know the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. Your site will be published in a folder with its name at root level of the server, with an index.html file at root level (which will overwrite any index.html file which may be there already). The 'Directory/Path' field may need to include a path such as '/webspace/' or 'ht_docs/' - this is dependent on your hosting service and they should tell you this. If you want to publish within a folder you can add that to the path.
    You can then click the 'Test connection' button so that iWeb can check that it can get access to your server space. You should enter the URL of the site in the 'URL' field so that rss feeds and internal links have the correct address.
    To publish using an earlier version of iWeb:
    From the File menu choose 'Publish to a folder'. You should create a folder somewhere convenient specifically for this and choose it when publishing to a folder: this folder should not contain anything else.
    You now need an FTP program (FTP is the 'protocol' used for uploading) to upload the contents of the folder to your server.Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. You can drag the contents of your folder to your webspace, or create a folder there and drag the contents to that if you prefer.
    Some facilities that iWeb provided when hosted on MobileMe will not work on other servers: comments on weblogs and photos, password-protecting your site (some hosts may provide this), searching in the weblog, and a hits counter (again, some hosts can provide code for this). Slideshows in iWeb will work on other hosts than MobileMe (they use different code when FTPing which doesn't depend on scripts hosted on MobileMe as the MobileMe version does); however there is an issue with the 'buttons' which control the slideshow which are images hosted on me.com - these depend on images which used to be hosted on MobileMe. The poster 'Old Toad' on the Apple Forums has provided a workaround, described at http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html.

  • HT1766 My iCloud back up estimates a waiting time of 21 hours, is this accurate or am I doing something wrong?

    I wonder if im doing something wrong. The phone is plugged into the power outlet and occasionally I check to see if it progresses. I am doing it manually thru the icloud section.

    >When you use the includeIn command, by default the object will only be created when it is needed. Hence, you will execute a creationComplete
    >event, and therefore atleast 100 million (sometimes 400 million) loops, when each required Button state is needed. Obviously, once each button
    >state has been created the creationComplete handler (invalidateDisplayList) will not usually be called again.
    So are you saying there is a better way or another way to do that? Or are you just telling me that's how it works? Because I know that the includeIn isn't creating the other buttons untill they are needed. I need them created when the button is created. That is my question, how do I get the other states to be created when the button is created so that I don't see the button flash black?
    >As written, bioStyleChanged will always remain true
    >if(!bioStyleChanged) {
    >       bioStyleChanged = false;
    >}    
    >this code does nothing for you.
    Sorry, I missed that when cleaning up the code to ask for help.

  • Extensions appeared in my Photoshop CC but no longer appear in my Photoshop CC 2014? Am I doing something wrong?

    Extensions appeared in my Photoshop CC but no longer appear in my Photoshop CC 2014? Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi,
    This problem has been widely commented on this forum. Key point : since Adobe has withdrawn Flash support in PS extensions, most of them are now incompatible with PS CC 2014 and have to be rewritten.

  • Am I misunderstanding stateful webservice or doing something wrong?

    Hi there...
    I am trying to create a stateful webservice... this is what I did exactly in JDeveloper
    1: created the following class
    *public class test {*
    public int O;
    *public test() {*
    *public String getIt() {*
    O++;
    return String.valueOf(O);
    2: Created a webservice out of it exposing the getIt method. I made sure that it is a stateful webservice. I set its scope to be for the session, lasting for 3000 second.
    3: run the webservice
    4: connected to it from VB.NET using the wizard
    5: adding the following code in vb :
    Dim J As New ServiceReference1.MyWebService1Client
    J.Open() ' open the connection with the service
    For I = 1 To 100  ' execute the call 100 times
    MsgBox(J.getIt) ' call the method and display the result in a message box
    Next
    J.Close() ' close the connection
    what I was expecting is that the counter should return the the values 1,2,3,...
    however what I am getting is the value 1 all the time. This means that the object test is being destroyed and created again with each call.
    I am doing something wrong here for sure, what I want to do is that the object test is being created once , and it should last for the whole session so that I can get the values 1,2,3,4, .
    kindly if you know how what I am doing wrong let me know.
    thanks.

    Hi there...
    thank you so much for these links. I just modified the webservice to generate an application module and store it in the session of the user. When doing multiple calls I was able manage different transactions.
    for now I am not releasing the application module. The question is now if the session of the user is destroyed, will all the resources of the application module go back to the system? I assume so...
    thanks again for your help.
    yours

  • I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

    I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

    Unfortunately, photo stream on a PC is iffy at best.  Many people have problems getting it to work properly, including myself.  A work around would be to use an app like PhotoSync on your PC, which can send photos wirelessly to the camera roll on any of your iOS devices on the same wifi network.  Once in the camera roll, you iOS device will be added to your photo stream.

  • Iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone.

    My iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone. I am still able to download apps and music from itunes on my phone though.
    I already restored it but that didn't help.
    TIA for any replies.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

    DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good.  You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

  • Is this a bug in ipod software or am i doing something wrong?

    I got my ipod video a few weeks ago and was excited to be able to carry all 7000+ songs around in one place.. but then i ran into this problem and i'm not sure if it's a bug or if i'm doing something wrong.
    let's say i have exactly one album by an artist.. and i also happen to have some singles from the artist, with no album set... (i prefer not to have albums set for songs i don't have the entire album for, to keep from having to sort through a truckload of albums i don't completely have).
    when i browse by artist, and i select the artist, only the songs in the album shows up, all the non-album labeled songs are not visible! the same thing happens when i choose by genre..
    in fact the only way to find those songs not bound to an album is to select them from the song list.. and having to scroll through 7000+ songs to find one really bites..
    curiously enough, if there is two or more albums, then i can find the songs without albums.. definately sounds like a bug to me.. the software for the ipod video is only at v1.0, maybe they'll fix this (hopefully other ipods don't have this problem, i have no way of knowing though).
    one work around i have tried is to set an empty album for the artist's song that has none, but i mean i don't want to do that for all my non-albumed songs because i'm interested in preserving the timestamp of songs (to know when i got them) and i can't reasonably search for songs that have exactly one album to just set those..

    when i go to Music > Artist > All, as you suggested, i see all the albums i have listed. doesn't really relate to my problem with artists with songs in one album, as well as song w/o album set, and the latter not showing up.
    but that reminds me, why is it when i go to the All section from a particular artist and they do have more than one album (or even no albums), the order of the songs is in the order they are in the albums.. if i wanted the order it is on albums, i would have selected that album for example.. it would be nice if the songs were in alphabetical order when you're NOT browsing by album, making a particular song easier to find (what if you have thirteen albums for example and u aren't sure which album a song is on, now you have to scroll through a seemingly random ordered list to find one song, alphabetical would be SOOOO helpful!)
