There Has to Be an Easier Way ...

W3C says you should notify a visitor of where they're being
directed once
they click a link. For external links, I'm simply placing a
"double-window"
icon next to the link. At this point in time, I'm coding the
image in each
time, like so:
<img src="...." width="x" height="x" alt="..."
title="...">
It's just getting cumbersome to do this - and I've seen other
websites use
this icon technique but the explicit coding of the image was
not there.
What's the "known" work-around?

To elaborate - Thierry - I'm really interested in the
methodology your
article demonstrates the potential for. For learners like
myself - it's a
bit hard to catch on to what exactly is going on. In the
code, I don't see a
way to implement displaying the image when Javascript is
enabled and to not
do so if it's disabled.
Also - how is this relayed to only *certain* links. Looking
through your
personal code on your website, the <a> links only
contain the href="..."
location - no hooks or anchors such as rel, class, etc.
If you could elaborate - I'd truly appreciated it, Thierry.

Newbie - There has to be an easier way to enlarge a mc and shrink mc on click

First off I'm a newbie, so sorry -
What I am trying to do is make a image enlarge on click and then click it to go back to the original size. I am using TweenLite to achieve this. I am thinking that AS 3.0 code would be easier to do this. I tried it but was coming up with no error it only worked one time. So I was able to get it to work, sort of. Right now, it eases larger but when clicked again it jumps back down to the original size (no easing). I am not asking for you to do the code, unless you want to, I just was wondering if anyone knows where I could research it. I am new to AS 3.0 so forgive me. But, there has to be code for this.
Any help is greatly appreciated. File is attached if you want to see how a newbie can butcher a file.
I am using Flash CS4 ActionScript 3.0

Here is the code for the first frame.
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import gs.TweenLite;
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
TweenLite.to(p17_mc, .5, {x:275.2, y:349.4, scaleX:1, scaleY:1});
TweenLite.to(black_mc, 0, {autoAlpha:0});
function main(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("first");
trace ("something good just happened!");
p17_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, main);
Code for the Second Frame.
stop();
import gs.TweenLite;
TweenLite.to(p17b_mc, 1, {x:250, y:100, scaleX:5, scaleY:5});
TransitionManager.start(blackb_mc, {type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN, duration:4, easing:Strong.easeOut});
function home(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("firstfadeout");
trace ("going to fade out");
p17b_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, home);
Code for the Third Frame.
TweenLite.to(p17b_mc, .5, {x:275.2, y:349.4, scaleX:1, scaleY:1});
TransitionManager.start(blackb_mc, {type:Fade, direction:Transition.OUT, duration:4, easing:Strong.easeIn});
gotoAndPlay("home");
trace ("going home");
Thanks

Consolidating your library....there has to be an easier way!!

My external hard drive somehow was renamed from f:/ to g:/, and subsequently now itunes can't find half my music. So, my question is how do you delete all of the files in itunes that have an exclamaton point next to them without doing it manually (which would take hours) so you can add g:/ to the library? As user friendly as apple is, there has to be a way to delete all tracks that itunes can't find.

OOOooooohhh man, i FEEL your pain. The short answer is...NO. I had this exact same problem a while ago and there really is no way around it. The only option is to consolidate your music, make sure it will never move again, and have iTunes make a whole new library. This of course means that you will need to make all of your playlists over again. I know this ***** but consider the alternative (finding all your songs individually). The other option you may have is if you have your entire library on your iPod, then you could use a program like iPodcopy to makes things right again. Good luck and sorry.

Has to be an easier way? Rules, playlists

1) is there any way to copy a smart playlist to another playlist folder and 2) is there no way to create an "or" rule? It seems the "and" operator is the only choice. Why not "Genre contains Rock OR Blues"?
If you have 15 genre's and want a smart playlist that contains only Rock and Blues, the only way is to do 13 "does not contain" rules? And then there is no way to copy this rule to another folder?
There has to be an easier way.

"Playlist is whatever " has been there for years, actually. Here is my most recent playlist I got from another site. It's called Fresh Mix:
It's a playlist to give you a mix of your new tracks, favourite tracks, and stuff you like but haven't listened to for a while, and it will automatically refresh as you listen to music in iTunes or on your iPod.
You'll actually need 4 smart playlists to start, and you need to be rating your music with star ratings as well. CHange the days and limits for your listening habits and iPod capacity.
1. in iTunes create a new smart playlist and call it 'Not Recent'. Select match 'ALL' of the following rules. For first condition set 'Last Played' 'is not in the last' '2 days'. New criteria (click the plus sign), Playlist is Music to make sure no podcasts, audiobooks Movies, etc go into it. 'Limit to 600 Mb selected by least recently played. Select match checked songs, and Live Updating.
2. New smart playlist 'Not Recent and Rated'. Set match all conditions. First criteria, 'rating' 'is in range ** to ***'. (or whatever rating system makes sense to you). New criteria (click the plus sign), 'Last played' 'is not in the last' '2 days'. Add Playlist is Music. Set 'Limit to 600 Mb selected by least recently played. Select match checked songs, and Live Updating.
3. New smart playlist 'Recently Added'. Match 'all' of the following rules. Set 'Last played is not in the last 2 days. Add Playlist is Music. Limit to 600 Mb selected by *most recently added*. Select match checked songs, and live updating.
4. New smart playlist 'Top Rated'. Match 'all' of the following rules. set 'Rating' 'is greater' than 2 stars. Add Playlist is Music. Set 'Last played' 'is not in the last' '2 days'. Limit to 1200 Mb by least recently played.
5. New smart playlist 'Freshmix'. Match any of the following rules. Playlist is 'Not Recent' + Playlist is 'Not Recent and Rated' + Playlist is 'Recently Added' + Playlist is 'Top Rated'. Limit to 300 items selected by random.
So there you go! You now have a playlist that plays 20% old stuff, 20% old stuff you like/don't hate, 20% new stuff, and 40% favourites. Of course you can vary the star ratings to suit your own style, and the proportion of each category by changing the size in megabytes of each playlist (in theory).
If you want you can limit particular genres. If you want to listen to this playlist on the iPod whilst running, exclude classical music and spoken word tracks. To do this add a new condition in each of the 4 feeder lists, and for each condition set 'Genre' 'is not' 'Classical' (or Spoken, etc, and assuming you have all your music tagged like this...)

Please tell me - there absolutely MUST be an easier way to 'duplicate' a page! A simple ⌘D use to work in my older version - HELP :'(

There has GOT to be a way to sync Entourage on one mac with Entourage on...

There has GOT to be a way to sync Entourage on one mac with Entourage on another mac! So far, the only way I can find to keep my mail synced on two macs using Entourage is to kill the Daemon on one machine and copy over the contents of the Microsoft directory to the other machine, but this is NOT a sync, it's a replacement. This will not work if email has been exchanged on both machines before the copy can be done. So what are we supposed to do? Thx for any help on this perplexing problem.
coocoo

Wait, I'm confused. Chronosync is just a fancy filecopy no? I think i tried it once moons ago just for folder syncing. it worked, but i did not see much advantage of that over just dragging the files. It still won't sync the individual emails right? (ie. add new, leave old alone). But u say using an imap server will help there? I don't even know what that is, but I guess I can install it on one of my macs right? Or do I have to pay to subscribe to one (like mac.com or whatever that thing is)? not an option here in Nepal. Well thanks for ur help so far!

There Has Got to Be A Way to Do This

Is there any way to change your ipod preferences without plugging it in. If i plug it in, i will lose stuff immediately because it is set to auto update, i need to change that setting...please share your knowledge

Here is the offical apple article on that. I think it's a hassle.
Prevent iTunes From Automatically Updating Your iPod
You can just have iTunes > Edit > Preferences up on the screen, and the iPod won't update when you plug it in.
And here is yet another easy way

There just has to be an easier way

I will admit it. I am new at this stuff. I want to present a couple of newlyweds with a DVD of their wedding.
I shot the footage and captured the video into FCP using the HDV1080i FireWire Basic capture preset. Did the edits then exported the thing into compressor. I used the apple > Best Quality 90 minute setting. After 15 hours or so I loaded the result into Studio Pro and had a look. Horrible combing(mouse teeth whatever)in the motion areas and especially high contrast areas. (White dresses and all that)
Someone, on one of the half a dozen forum sites I looked at suggested that I create a new timeline using the ProRes422 preset then copy and paste the old sequence into the ProRes422 timeline...which I did.
He went on to say that I should export the ProRes422 timeline footage into compressor and apply the following settings:
Apple> Best Quality 90 minute setting.
For Audio (Dolby Digital Professional 2)
Inspector > Encoder > Data Rate 224Khz
Frame Control > on
For Video (MPEG-2 6.2Mbps 2-pass
Inspector > Encoder > Video Format > PAL
Frame Rate > 25
Aspect Ratio > 16:9
Field Dominance > Top First
Frame Controls > on
Well I did all that and 15 hours later it still looked the same to me.
Seems that if I continue to make changes at the rate of one every 15 hours the newlyweds will have had kids, got sick of each other and be divorced by the time I get things good enough to print to a DVD.
Can some person out there who understands what it is like to be a frustrated student give me a few clues to piont me in the right direction?

First, I suggest you experiment with only a couple minutes of your project until is looks right. You'll save a lot of time.
Plastique45 provided a workflow recently that really improved my output results. His post is in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7519012&#7519012
The things that made the biggest improvement were his suggestions involving Compressor settings. Specifically, the bit rate settings and the Frame Control settings.
Good Luck.

There has to be a better way.

I am tired of seeing posts where people come venting in a very rude and angry tone demanding an explanation regarding a poor customer service experience or a program on demand or a certain thing that they no longer have and every time, it sounds like a vent directed toward Verizon...on a peer-to-peer support forum. Or sometimes it will be an account or billing issue and every time, no fellow customer can possibly be expected to respond to that, particularly without knowing the details and when it's often involving someone's private account information. There are so many threads of this nature that I myself don't know how to respond to.
This is just one example of many that I often skip over and don't bother responding to:
http://forums.verizon.com/t5/General-Residential-Products-and/Blues-Clues-On-Demand/td-p/494183
These all sound like customer service issues and some of them just sound like "vents" because they don't explain what the issue is. There really should be a folder on the forums here for posting these vents and concerns privately so that nobody else in a peer-to-peer support forum has to hear all of this. There is already 1-800-VERIZON and a link to email customer service directly with any problems but it just seems like a lot of people come here to vent without reading about what the forum is really for. It seems to take away the whole focus of "peer-to-peer" support and turns it more into a sounding board for anyone to vent their frustrations.
I think the Verizon employees here are doing a heck of a job redirecting customers with these concerns to customer service or escalating the matter to someone who can get involved directly in resolving their matters. It just seems to me that if there were a separate private folder here readily available for that, it would keep the focus of the peer-to-peer support more organized. Perhaps there should be a private folder where a customer with these problems can post directly from the beginning if it's something that can be escalated, if it's a matter that a customer has been unable to resolve by calling 1-800-VERIZON.
Just my 2 cents.

I do understand customer service experiences that go overly poorly. We have all been there for sure and we have all gotten frustrated and annoyed from time to time when trying to resolve a particular issue, not always so easy when we're tired and burdened with other demands.
It just seems like now-a-days, many more customers are demanding and take more things personally. It seems very hard at times too to offer a solution to the problem that has worked but that someone doesn't seem willing to try. It's hard to know but I definitely give you credit for dealing with that because that's certainly not easy. We have all been there too with certain CSRs who are rude or who don't know what they're doing but I know that there were many other times as well when I would deal with CSRs who really were trying when it came to certain problems.
When it comes to my own occasional Fios issues which really haven't been too numerous, my objective is to get everything resolved in the end and unless certain customers really want to switch over to cable and just don't like Verizon, I was thinking that this particular idea, if implemented, could serve as some hope to keep customers who might otherwise give up and that there *is* a solution to the problem.
These forums have offered me a wealth of good information and I have learned plenty more about resolving computer issues from other knowledgeable customers here. Those positive aspects should really be highlighted.

There has to be a better way for Paths & Zooming?

Hi All,
Thanks for looking in and poinitng me in the right direction. (Trust me when I tell you I have been reading and watching tutorials)http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/12/custom-motion-paths-flash-cs4-tutorial/
I am attempting to create a Tween. with a specific path. All whilst trying to make my 2D assett, or Instance go from one point to other and rotate from one direction like this <---- to half way through the animation Tween then going this direction ----> and then having that Instance grow larger as appears to get closer. Yes there is a quick point when switching direction of the 2D Instance where it dissapears for a split second. because I cranked up the skew to get the Instance to point (or flip) the other direction or is it the 3D under "Free transform"? I forget now. Anyhow...
Think "creating from Template/Advertising/Scripted Snow" Installing an Instance like a sled that comes from the Right upper mtns across to the Left side weaving and growing in size to give a 3d look as it comes down the mountain zig zagging. -If I lost you just ask.
I did create this and with great pain. Weeding through old tutorials. Yet they do not give shortcuts. IE: Is there a short cut to make an instance grow on it's path? Instead of doing it frame by frame? As you can do with a path by setting the frame to say number 1 then place your Instance and then move your play head to say frame 400 and then drag your instance to wherever you want it to end up. Then all those frames are created. Albiet the shortest path and with barbaric adjustment of the path itself.
I come from AVID editing and if I want an asset to grow I park it in it's "start area and set it's size" then move the play head to the stop point hit 'zoom' set it's finished growth size and it grows smoothly as it moves to it's stop point. No keyframing. Does this flash software have that or must I create my flash video in Premier Pro for that kind of ease? If so ..Will Premier import an SWF form Flash into it's timeline? IF so some steps please.
I have been learning a few of these softwares I bought CS6 Master Suite and feel like I am new to the whole thing again. I went from GIMP and AVID as an intermediate to CS6 and am knocked back to a Novice. I have AVID on my desk just waiting for me to go running back to it. LOL However I know if I stick with Adobe I will have more control. Once I learn where and what the shortcuts are. I spend more time hunting a pecking looking for stuff a tutorial rips by as though I am supposed to know where the Pen tool is? Yeah it was buried under another tool. I got it now...
Regards,
NetCommercial

45 views up to date with no answer... OK I got it.
The frames that you want zoomed can be handled like this. IE: You want frames to go from 10% to 100%. When your Tween layer has been created, select the Start frame or 1st frame and shrink your image to 10% at that key frame. ( I am assuming you know about Transform tool) Next drag your object/Instance to the end point of your path and increase +90% or to desired size.
That is it.

Help... there has got to be a way!

I have spent considerable time trying to find out how I can
update the display while I'm in a for loop. I have created a self
organizing map using actionscript 3.0 and I'd like to display the
map learning. The SOM is computationally intensive and has to be in
a tight for loop. When running actionscript code in a loop does
flex respond to any events? Back in my VB days there was a
doevents() statement to allow events to be handled... anything like
that in flex?? doesn't seem like setting up a timer event is going
to work if the for loop is blocking the event.

Alex,
There is no doevents() fucntion in Flex, but there still is a
way :)
What you need to do is to encapsulate your loop in a function
listening to the EnterFrame event, this will make the hole process
slower (Since you'll do a part of it on each frame), but the
display list will be updated and the program wont hang during the
process.

When I found out this was the case I tried to reply to the email confirmation address for a refund and it came back as undeliverable. Tried to contact support but in order to talk to anybody I had to pay 20 dollars!! Why is it so hard to buy into it but oh so hard to get a refund?

'''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.
