TextField shakes for no obvious reason.

I've been trying to fix this problem for hours and I'm ready to give up. Here's is the set-up:
I have a pretty simple MovieClip moving about the stage. The MovieClip has some shapes and a TextField on the top. Basically, it's a balloon with a word inside. For some weird reason, when the clip is moving, the text inside shakes (not a lot, just a couple of pixels in random directions). This is very annoying and I can't find any reason for it inside the .fla file or the class files.
If you have seen anything like that, please share your wisdom!

Yes, the font is embedded. I tried different fonts. You can see from the screenshot that I'm using Times New Roman now.
I'm moving the balloon programmatically. The code looks like this:
onEnterFrame(
balloon.x + = speedX;
I just realized that the speedX is not integer and Flash probably can't render text "in sync" with a shape if it's not aligned to the pixels. So, I tried rounding speedX before incrementing the balloon position. That solved the "shaking" problem, but obviously the movement is not smooth anymore, the balloons "step" instead of "glide". So this solution is not acceptable. Any good ideas?

I installed the Beta yesterday and FOUR times it has locked up for no obvious reason, so i had to return to the latest 3.6 version. Do you have an answer for this problem???

I do a Google search it locks-up. Other times it locks up for no obvious reason. I am using Windows 7. I never have any problems with the latest version of 3.6.
Even if I shut it down, I cannot open it again without re-starting my computer. So for me right now the beta version is useless!!!

Apple doesn't monitor all the threads, so the best thing to do is send in feedback:

Satellite L450 crashes for no obvious reason

I have a two month old L450 running "windows7".
Within a week of purchase and for no obvious reason, the screen went black with a blue message box in the centre.
It only remains on the screen for a few seconds before shutting down so I don't have chance to read the message.
This has happened on a number of occasions since.
The only words I have managed to see are "crash dump" and something about removing hardware.
Is it possible to press a key when this happens to enable me to read the screen and is ther a "Problem Log" as in "Vista" that would enable me to see what the problem is?
I could return it to the supplier but as the fault is intermittent the chances are it would not show itself.

Hi
In order to disable automatic restart follow this:
- right click on My Computer -> Properties
- On the left click Advanced System settings
- Click on Setting button in area Startup and Recovery (its a last third area)
- Remove the mark from the Automatically Restart box .
- Click OK and Apply the settings.
Now you will get all the details on the screen after the notebook has crashed again.
Why this happens?
Hmm this is not easy to say in many cases its just a software/driver issue.
Try to update the driver/graphic card driver
You should also check if your BIOS is up to date.
As you know Win7 is a new OS on the market and there could be also an compatibility issue with different 3rd party applications installed on your system
So be sure that Win 7 is also up to date!

For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh, and sometimes for no obvious reason..

For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh. Sometimes it refreshes for no obvious reason. For instance, I'll be in the middle of typing into a forum's post block & it refreshes. Or filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

You can check for issues caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Apache httpd dies for no obvious reason.

( Oracle 9iAS on RedHat 6.2 w/ /usr/local/jdk1.2.2/bin/java -version
java version "1.2.2"
Classic VM (build Linux_JDK_1.2.2_RC4, native threads, sunwjit))
Once in a while the HTTP listenneer dies giving the below entries in the error log file.
First there are alot of these, which is normal:
[Fri Mar 3 10:02:56 2006] [debug] opm_ew.c(253): OPM: EW enters process monitoring loop
[Fri Mar 3 10:02:59 2006] [debug] opm_ew.c(253): OPM: EW enters process monitoring loop
Then something bad happens and the HTTP listener decides to exit:
[Fri Mar 3 10:03:01 2006] [info] OPM: EW is exiting with sig=1073929500
Then it starts killling the child processes (which is too normal):
[Fri Mar 3 10:03:03 2006] [warn] child process 16997 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
[Fri Mar 3 10:03:03 2006] [warn] child process 16998 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
etc..
I've reviewed the access log file for suspected entries. For example if a client somehow called a buggy app I should see the same call in the access log before it dies but I can't find any reasonable pattern.
The HTTPd dies a couple times per 24h, the system resources are not heavily utilised.
Any info on this would very appreciated, thanks.

IMac Frozen randomly for no obvious reason

My iMac has been acting up weird since two accidental power-off 2 weeks ago. The power off was due to a plug fail at my old house and it happened 2 times in 10 minutes. I eventually fixed the plug and made sure that never happened again. But the 2nd power off looked damaging to my iMac since it triggered automatic safe boot, which looked daunting to me.
Now the problems is that my iMac would randomly freeze for no reason when I'm only running an iTunes (paused), IM program and 2 browsers with about 6 gb hard drive space on a iMac 20 inch model with 2.66 ghz CPU.
It doesn't make sense because I only have some web pages and itunes open(itunes not even playing anything), it shouldn't consume so much processing power that it freezes the machine over.
Random freeze means that sometimes it freeze on login, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it doesn't freeze for a day but suddenly it freezes next afternoon.
I have one new app installed for anti-virus, the McAfee, not sure if the firewall is doing anything. Also I have my mac's firewall on as well.
Here are the stuffs I tried so far:
1. Restart, boot from CD, repair disk and repair permissions.
2. Restart, reset PRAM
3. Install the snowleopard again on the same disk so it overwrites everything and i update the system once again to the latest version.
4. The mouse is working during the freeze because I can see it moving, just not other process can properly run.
Please let me know if there is any log file on the mac that I can access to further diagnose if this is a software failure or hardware failure. I certainly hope i don't have to replace harddrive and memory for this.

Your computer is a mess probably from a combination of things. I would start first by following McAfee's instructions for uninstalling their software for several reasons. First it's of no value because there are no, none, zero, zip virus's for OS X currently. Next is most antivirus applications create more problems than they solve and third they slow down a computer by taking valuable system resources.
Next I would invest in a UPS, this will help in the event you have power problems again. A UPS allows you to do an orderly shut down in the event of a power failure or major power spike.
After you have done both do a SMC reset, Repair Disk Permissions (again) and restart in Safe Mode to clear some caches. If it still is unstable you will need to bring it into your local Apple Store or AASP to be checked out.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Computer wakes from sleep for no obvious reason

The console tells me this:
11/09/2010 21:36:54 kernel Wake reason = UHC4
11/09/2010 21:36:54 kernel System Wake
11/09/2010 21:36:54 kernel Previous Sleep Cause: 0
11/09/2010 21:36:54 kernel The USB device IOUSBWirelessControllerDevice (Port 1 of Hub at 0x1a000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup.
There are no USB peripherals plugged in. What's going on?

Got the culprit!
After a couple of nights where I switched off the mouse on the one hand and the keyboard on the other, I found the guilty party who keeps waking my iMac up: the keyboard. My computer slept all night, peacefully until I manually woke it up this morning.
The night before with the mouse turned off, the same issue kept happening as previously described.
So here is the cure for anyone suffering the syndrome:
Turn off your wireless keyboard (by pressing and holding the power button on the side until the green LED has gone off), then use your mouse to put your computer to sleep, it will sleep undisturbed until you wake it up again yourself.

Neo4 board: alarm going off when booting up, for no obvious reason?

Hi,
I have a Neo4 Platinum with a AMD 3200+ / 1024 MB TwinMOS / ATI X800XL.
When booting up from cold, the Neo4 starts to beep. (comes out of the "MSI CoreCell" I think, the standard beeper is detached)
The alarm stops suddenly when the WinXP loading screen appears.
Everything is working fine, no malfunctions whatsoever. I would just like to stop my PC from waking up all of my house whenever my Neo4 boots up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies so far.
I took a look at the PC Health overview in my BIOS, and it states the following:
System Temp = 42°C
CPU Temp = 48°C
System Fan Speed = 0 rpm
CPU Fan Speed = 1622 rpm
Northbridge Fan Speed = 7850 rpm
CPU VCore = 1.42
+3.3V = 3.34
+12V = 11.97
+5V = 5.10
Nothing dramatical there I think..?
There is no value flashing, and no obvious culprit as you suggested, bassmadrigal.
SAB, where can I change the "low rpm" settings for my CPU fan? I am not sure if I can adjust the speed of my CPU fan, but I will take a look.
Anyways, is there no way to simply shut off that annoying alarm? Everything seems OK, there should be no need for screwing with everyone's nerves in this household

IPhone 4 becoming completely unresponsive for no obvious reason.

My iPhone had been charging overnight with no previous problems ever encountered since i first bought it just over two months ago.
After checking the time on it (apparently working fine), i got up half an hour later putting the iPhone in my pocket.
WHen i next checked it, it had become totally unresponsive and seemed to have completely died.
It had definitely been fully charged and plugging it in to a charger has no response.
Plugging into a computer also has no response.
Attempting to reset by holding down sleep+home for ten seconds also carries no response.
Very frustrating and and i would be very grateful for any help recieved

Ochman, the same issue happened to me, simply hold down both the home and power buttons for 10 seconds then release the power button while still pressing on the home button. The apple logo should pop on screen and the phone should start loading again.

ITunes will not open - for no obvious reason!

Yesterday morning iTunes stopped opening on my computer. I downloaded the new version a few days ago but I'm pretty sure I had used it since then and that it had worked. My computer seems to think about opening it, as it makes all the usual computing noises, but then nothing happens. I've tried re-installing it too, which apparently seems to work OK, except it still won't work! Any suggestions? Ta, Rob

When I click to open it, my pointer turns to a small pointer and a small hourglass together for a few seconds. My computer makes the usual noises it makes when opening something, only for slightly longer. Then the normal pointer returns to normal and nothing has happened.
I tried pressing ctrlaltdelete to see what's going on, and there are processes labelled as "iTunesHelper.exe" and "iPodService.exe" running, should I try closing either of those, or are they not to do with this? There is no mention of iTunes proper itself.
Quicktime opens just as usual and works fine.
I had a look through the link you offered but I don't think any of the suggestions applied to me. I appreciate your efforts!

Adobe Flash, latest version, is hitting the disk hundreds of times per second with disk reads and writes for no obvious reason. Is this normal? If not, ...

I am running Firefox 18 on Windows 7, all with latest updates. The Adobe Flash plugin (latest version) hits the disk with hundreds of reads and hundreds of writes each second. This seems to start as soon as cnn.com is loaded then as other sites are loaded it just gets worse. Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Is it normal? If not normal, how can I can stop it?

I do not really have any solid suggestions for this but
* 11.6.602.168 is now the latest version. You were using Flash 11.5 r502 Have you now updated ?
* Hardware acceleration issues are sometimes resolved by upgrading Graphics drivers [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Flash often causes issues with Firefox. From Flash 11.3 some Windows users were needing to disable Flash's ''protected mode''. Rather a longshot but it may be worth experimenting with the protected mode and trying turning it off.

Tecra M5 laptop keeps typing iiiii for no obvious reason

Hi,
Started last night, my 1 year 2 month old M5 suddenly started typing iiiii almost as if the key had stuck down, but its not physically stuck (that I can see). Problem persists even after a reboot. I'm hoping its just a "stuck" key. Anyone else experienced / heard of this and can it be cleared with a blast of cleaning air or is a keyboard off job (or even something more sinister like a virus; checkers and firewall all up to date and active though)? Laptop is running XP.
Thanks in advance
Mark

A friend of mine had another strange issue.
The cursor jumped all the time and it was not possible to use the keyboard and the touchpad.
Finally the keyboard was replaced and this has solved the problem.
I presume you keyboard malfunctions and you should contact some ASP technicians for the help. If your warranty is valid then everything should be done for free!
Bye

My screen has cracked for no obvious reason, is there anything I can do?

The warrentry says this excluded, but i haven't misused or abused it at all, is there anything I can do?

Hello,
I suggest that you bring it to the nearest Apple Shop, and see what they say.
If they are going to charge you too high for the repairing or refuse to repair it , then you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Some cases being reported, but I cant confirm it - they get the replacement from Apple!!!

Server umounts NSS volumes for no obvious reason

OES2 SP1, 2-node cluster
I had a server unmount an NSS volume with the message below in the logs.
Any ideas what could have caused this?
SAN_SERVER is the cluster pool.
USERAREA is an NSS volume in the pool.
Code:
May 21 10:21:21 vishnu ncs-resourced: resourceMonitor: SAN_SERVER.monitor failed 256
May 21 10:21:21 vishnu ncs-resourced: resourceMonitor: SAN_SERVER 1 failures in last 600 seconds
May 21 10:21:25 vishnu adminus daemon: umounting volume USERAREA lazy=1
May 21 10:21:25 vishnu adminus daemon: Failed to delete the directory /media/nss/USERAREA. Error=39(Directory not empty)
May 21 10:21:25 vishnu adminus daemon: Entries for Volume USERAREA from pool SAN are not removed during pool deactivation
May 21 10:21:25 vishnu kernel: Waiting for 2 Inuse beasts to unlink
... repeated multiple times
May 21 10:21:36 vishnu kernel: fastReadCache - Buffer's should always have an inode
May 21 10:21:36 vishnu kernel: isCached - Buffer's should always have an inode
May 21 10:21:36 vishnu kernel: isCached - Buffer's should always have an inode
... repeated multiple times

This looks as if you have a monitor script that is looking at your
resource - spots a failure and then starts a unload/load routine.
I think that your cluster monitor script has been copied from another
resource and has not been edited to reflect the change

"Skype can't connect" on Mac for no obvious reason

This started two days ago. When I turn on my Mac, I launch Skype, try to log in and it just says “Skype can't connect”. Sometimes after a hundred of attempts, it lets me in. OS X 10.10. Latest Skype version sownloaded (7.2.412)

What worked for me was to completely remove Skype and re-install the most recent version. I'm using Skype version 7.6 which is compatiable with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. To completely remove Skype follow the instructions at https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12073/how-can-i-completely-uninstall-and-then-reinstall-skype-for...
