Totally basic question..new to flash

Ok, I apologize for asking something sooooo simple probably.
Honestly I have Flash to redesign a template I purchased. I should
not have to do much in Flash and I don't have the time to learn it
all right now.
Can someone just help me with this one thing?
I purchased a template online. Full flash site. There are two
flash files, a folder of psd files which are the pages. I made a
change to one of the pages to start with.... but when I resaved the
flash files and exported the old page was still in the website.
Sooo I assume there is somewhere that I tell the flash files to see
the pages (psd files). But where? How do I find it?
Thank you for your time.
Blessings.
Michelle

Thank you! I knew it was probably VERY simple. I just
purchased flash 2004 MX because the template said I had to have it.
Other than updating the pages I don't want to change any of the
flash itself.... so at the moment I am going to take learning the
program slow but I want this website up and running soon.
I appreciate your time in helping me !!!!!!!!!!!
Blessings.

Question - New to Flash

I am new to flash and building a simple picture slideshow with buttons for the next frame and previous frame to use on a website. I have two questions. 1. How do I get the pictures to start over at the beginning once I get to the last frame? Right now I can only got forward or backward. 2. I tried to use a video clip in the last keyframe and when I test the movie in Flash it works fine but when I posted the .swf file to the website all of the pictures played except the video clip. I am using the following action script:
stop();
next_btn.onRelease=function(){
nextFrame();
prev_btn.onRelease=function(){
prevFrame();
I am a complete rookie. Any help would be much appreciated. Also any recommendation on where to learn to work with action script would be useful
Thanks

It looks like you are working with ActionScript 2.0 here where you would actually be hoping to integrate ActionScript
3.0 and above (3.0 is the latest out right now). The two types of AS are very different in structure and 3.0 is much more like JavaScript and other ECMA scripting languages that incorporate Object Oriented Programming (OOP). I don't know a lot about OOP other than it can be used to house Classes and call upon them in an organized fashion to save you a lot of coding in the long haul. Don't worry about OOP right now.
Where you should be looking for resources are online and in books. There are lots and lots of books about ActionScript 3.0--just check your favorite online book retailer and also do a web search for ActionScript 3.0 tutorials. You will probably find one that will explain how to code the logic for you to return to the first frame of your timeline and continue going in the forward direction and vice versa if you were rewinding and wanted to loop to the last frame and continue going in the backward direction of your timeline.
Also, there is the ActionScript 3.0 Reference Manual which ships with Flash and will allow you to look through code examples. Just go to your Help menu for Flash Help.

Basic question about part-flash websites

Okay, so really basic stupid question:
If I'm making an html-based site with flash elements (like a
table of contents, header, etc), then how do I avoid having to
reload the movie every time I go to a new page? Ie, if I have a
flash contents bar, then won't the user have to click to restart
the movie in order to go to a new link every time it loads, which
would translate to every new page that the file is embedded into?
I know I must be missing something obvious, but I'm not sure
what it is :-) I'm working with a template that does this right
now, and it's really annoying-- how do well put together sites deal
with this question?
Thanks!

have the buttons load the page into a frame, so the page
doesn't need to 'refresh'.
EX:
my_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("myContentPage.html", "myContentFrame");
my_btn2.onRelease = function(){
getURL("myHomePage.html", "myHomeFrame");
and so on...

Sorry... totally basic question

I'm a major newbie to Final Cut.
I've put together a few clips and now I want to export as a Quicktime movie to import into DVD Studio or iDVD.
But every time I do it, the result in both iDVD and DVD Studio is totally "blown out" ... way too light on my TV screen.
Without getting too technical, is there a setting that I'm overlooking? My Movie looks great in Final Cut... but much too light on TV.
Help!

You need to monitor your work on an external video (NTSC or PAL) as you are working.
The monitor should be calibrated to display the PLUGE color bars correctly. Once you have that you can figure out where the problem is located - in the computer, the footage, the DVD burning process or your TV.
A basic TV can work for this. Read up around here on connecting an NTSC monitor via firewire. Lots of posts. Also do a search for NTSC Color Calibration and I know you'll find more than a few posts discussing that process as well.
Good luck.

Basic questions of structure Alchmy inside the AVM ans corePlayer ? Help!

Hello community:)
Flash Player 10 has been amended in order to run the new code from the compilation Alchemy! Is this correct?
The new ABC Alchemy is for new features such as memory pointer, asynchronous functions? is that correct? and what else?
This amendment consists of a small AVM separated from the Tamarin ? where everything is in Tamarin?
The memory allocated to code from Alchemy is separated from the memory area allocated to the AVM and PlayerCore? it is like that?
The CorePlayer flashRuntime and had to be changed?
The ABC from Alchemy is intended only as to the AVM? or also to CorePlayer?
Alchemy can access the BIOS? especially for 33h the mouse? if not, is it possible to control the mouse in one way or another with Alchemy?
Immagine it would create a code C to produce sound from a bytesArray to replaceSampleData AS3 class, it's possible? If not, why? a restriction of the sandbox?
Can be added directly to the assembler code using Alchemy? or it's prohibited because of the respect of cross platefrom?
Thank you for maximum responses! although one can easily imagine some answers, I have confirmation:)
Too many people claim things on forums, affirmative behave as if it was the system programmers themselves FlashPlayer! Outside, people sometimes give wrong answers! Two days ago, I had a guy who claimed that the AVM does not compile ABC! The ABC was executed directly . It's sad and a shame to read such things. He obviously did not read and do not know the JIT
This post is aimed at people on what they say and who were able to verify the information. Alchemy or programmers themselves.
Thank you all!

In order to understand things and not waste our time trying to code without knowing ifthey are not working because of am or even if it is because it is not impossible or not the player, I'm posted this on the forum Player. But my post is not answered .. Adobe programmers never come on this forum? Nobodyknows exactly how it works?
Hello everyone
I have some basic questions about the Flash player and AVM2..
I made this little flow chart for Player 9 and above >
Can anyone tell me if it is consistent and fair to me or to report a possible error?
AVM2 the only accessing the CPU and Ram? and in no event in the device or OS API, right?
The AVM2 in our current players is always a Tamarin?
The next step is to replace the JIT by the nanoJIT spiderMonckey?
The byteCode from Alchemy is well executed in the AVM and not elsewhere?
The memory area codes assigned to Alchemy is the same as that of the AVM or is it different andseparate?
Thank you for your answers.
Gordially, Alain.

(hopefully) basic question about buttons in Flash site

I'm new to Flash & Actionscript and learning as I build a basic site. My question is: I have a homepage to the site with navigation buttons, but on all other pages of the site, the buttons need to be in a different position- is there a way to have the buttons move once leaving the homepage? Or would it make more sense to create a new set of buttons for the rest of the site? If the latter is an option, can I get rid of the original set once the user leaves the homepage so they're not sitting there in the wrong spot?
I'm using Flash Professional CS4 and a Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.6.
Also learning through a Lynda.com membership if that's helpful to know.
Thanks for any advice!!!

you're welcome.
p.s. in the future, mark helpful/correct responses if there are any.

Basic questions from a new mozaic owner

I have some very basic questions about how to use the new mozaic 2G mp3 player. I bought the Mozaic because it has a speaker and sleep timer, but I'm finding it to be much harder to use than other mp3 players that I have had (Ipod shuffle, clix etc). This may reflect my failure to look in the right place but I have to say the "help" section isn't much help.
Here goes:
. I download podcasts to listen to during my morning run. WMP provides an easy to find place in its program, "recently added," which allows the user to just work with those files. As near as I can tell, Creative makes you wade through all of your tracks. Is there some way to create a file to which "recently added" tracks, or specific tracks, can be dumped? How about automatic tagging of these added files?
2. I have several thousand pictures on this hard dri've. Apparently, the Mozaic Centrale
Is going to copy all of them, which strikes me as a waste of space. Is there a way to shut this function off? I couldn't care less if a single photo was added to the centrale program (or whatever it's called). Is it really going to duplicate all of the jpg files?
3. I have the Zen Stone plus speaker which has served me very well. I had similar problems working with whatever Zen was calling its media player and wound up using WMP instead. I"d like to take a run at using the dedicated Zen media player....
I apologize for the basic nature of these questions, but the answers weren't obvious to me from the materials I was able to locate.

what exactly is the model of your Mozaic? Is it EZ 00, EZ 300 or plane ZEN Mozaic?

Basic question about Flash video. Please Help

Hello,
Sorry for the noob question but I'm struggling with the basic
understanding about the Flash video.
I just need to reduce a large video file to a small size with
a nice quality and the Flash Video Encoder does very god job with
that. But when I double click the compressed .flv file it opens as
a blank screen in the stand alone player without playing any video.
I can use Dreamweaver to produce a web page playing the file, but I
don't need this file for posting it on a web page, I just want the
file smaller and to simply play it on my computer or send it to
others.
What is the way to do this?
I appreciate your help.

It sounds like you're not having problems with the actual
compression of the videos, just the playback, correct? All you need
is a standalone player that plays FLVs. Like Quicktime Player plays
MOVs, and Windows Media Player plays WMVs, you need something to
play the FLV files. There are many free options available. On a
mac, I use something called, strangely enough, SWF & FLV
Player. You can find it here:
http://mac.eltima.com/freeflashplayer.html
Just do a search for FLV players and you should find
something appropriate. The only downside is you'll need to make
sure anyone you're distributing the videos to also has an FLV
player. If you're sending your files to just a few people, no big
deal. If this is for the public in general, you would want to embed
a Flash video player in an HTML page and send it like that.
Hope that helps.

Basic questions from techie thicko with 'new' G4

I've looked but can't find the answers to these basic questions.
My new (reconditioned) computer as below came with just the operating systems and something called 'Cloner' plus some Utilities.
A) What is the best way to switch between OSX and Classic?
(It defaults to X on start-up and I can get to X from Classic by re-starting pressing 'x'. If that's the right way to do it, what is the approved way of getting into Classic?)
B) I'm not sure (after reading about it!) what I can do with Cloner and how.
C) I have AppleWorks on OS9. Can I update this for OSX? Failing this, is there a Software Download that will give me a basic DTP facility until I can afford to buy an advanced programme? I also have Pagemaker 7 in Classic.
D) I have been transferring stuff to Classic from my iMac DV 9.2.2 with my card reader and this seems to work well. Anything to watch out for?
There's more but I can't impose on members' kindness too much!
For future reference, is it possible to post pictures on these boards and if so how please? I have Photoshop and hosting sites.
Sorry to be a pain but I really am an idiot about techie stuff.
Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure what Cloner does. It sounds as if it may clone the hard drive, a bit like Carbon Copy Cloner:
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
I'm wondering whether it was just used to put the operating systems and utilites onto the drive in the first place when they reconditioned the computer. Perhaps they use a 'master' drive and just clone it to the drives in the computers they're reconditioning, rather than installing everything separately and repeatedly.
I think version 6 of AppleWorks runs under both OS 9 and OS X natively. If you have an earlier version, I'm not sure whether it's a free downloadable upgrade or whether you have to pay for it.
I'm sure the card reader works fine, although you could network the two computers together with an ethernet cable and create a small network. With two computers you just need a crossover cable to create a crossover network:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106658
If you're thinking of keeping your iMac, that may be a better long term solution. You could then use the iMac as your OS 9 machine and the PowerMac as your OS X machine if you wanted to.

New to computer based recording - have a basic question

Hello all,
I have been recording on a stand alone multi-track machine for some time. I'm wanting to expand how many tracks I have and utilize the editing possibilities of Garageband 3. So, here's my basic question. I already have some songs recorded on the multi-tracker. The unit has the ability to export each track as a wav. file to the computer. I'm trying to find a fairly simple computer program that will allow me to import each track, remain in sync, and continue adding new tracks from the stand alone. For example, say I record 14 tracks on the stand alone and I still need another 10 tracks. I loathe bouncing because of the loss of control. Using Garageband 3, can I import the 14 tracks to a separate track each, record another 10 tracks on the stand alone, import those 10 tracks into the same project as the other 14 tracks, remain in sync, and then be able to edit, sweeten, etc all of the tracks? I have no real desire to record direct to the computer since I have a really nice set up already. I just want more tracks and the ability to edit them better than on the stand alone. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Randy

Hi,
Yes, you can, as long as all your Tracks have the same Start point.

Basic question inbound / outbound and source service (ASA 5505)

Hi there,
I'm new to the ASA 5505 appliance and have a few very basic questions. Hope I get some responses and not flamed for being a total newbie. :-)
Inbound versus outbound: I'm having a difficulty understanding the inbound versus outbound terminology. Can somebody please clarify? For example, if I want to block all http traffic from hosts on the inside to the internet but allow all https connections, intuitively I'd configure a rule to block outbound (= outgoing) traffic for the http protocol for the inside network. However, it seems as if I have to add this rule for inbound connections. Why is a connection from a host on the inside to a web server on the internet considered an inbound connection on the inside interface?
When I add a rule, I've got a "service" field and a "Source Service" field in the "More Options" section. What's the difference? Do I have to set both to the same value?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Ralf,
Yes, if you put a deny http, it would drop all packets for destination as http port, but be mindful that when you apply an access-list on your inside interface, it automatically activates the deny ip any any right at the bottom, you would be able to see that in the ASDM. So for the users that need be allowed access to the http, needs to be explicitly allowed http access, so your correct configuration would be:
access-list inside_access_in deny tcp host 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 any eq http
access-list inside_access_in permit tcp any any
access-group inside_access_in interface inside
This would block 192.168.1.1 to go to internet, but allow all others.
Second question, i haven't chceked the ASDM, but just remember out of memory, that this service option should be the protocol, whether ip,tcp,udp,esp or gre etc.
Moreover always try to block connections as closed to the source as possible, this would mean, if you want to filter traffic going from inside to outside, that should be done on the inside interface not outside.
Thanks,

Entities not showing Contribution - very basic question

Hi guys,
Apologies for this very basic question - I'm very new to Hyperion, with just a weeks training! Anyway I'm building a basic model and have noticed that in the Value dimension my entities are not rolling up to the [Contribution Total]. This means that Entities do not roll up!!
One suggested issue was that I needed a Sub Consolidate in the Rules, however I've set the attribute "ConsolidationRules" to be = to N. In the documentation this is defined as "N to use the default consolidation and eliminations."
Wondering is there anything else that is needed to use default consolidations, or do I need to create some Rules??
Thanks
G

Why do you think it is not rolling up? If your Consoldiation Rules are set to 'N' you do not need rules.
Make sure your accounts are set to IsConsoldiate. Make sure you are viewing a 'Parent.Child' at Contribution Total.

New To Flash - Developed Slideshow

Is there anyway that I can set the window size for the
slideshow when the user clicks on the link to open? Right now it
opens in a new window that shows the background color.
I would like for it to display as when I hit ctrl+enter to
test the slideshow.
Is the *.swf file the only file that I need to upload to the
server for it to function correctly or do I need to upload the
*.fla file as well.
I know these might sound like stupid questions but again I am
new to flash.
All help is greatly appreciated.

For the web generally any file that will generate a web

>>questions.
The Flash Movie is a file that is loaded by the OBJECT tag
for Windows IE
and EMBED tag for other web browers. How the tags get there
can range from a
static html document to a serverside script. Even a static
html document
having Javascript write out the OBJECT and EMBED tags.
Basic Flash files are
1. MyMovie.fla - the Flash Document you keep in the
development computer.
Only accessible via the Flash Authoring software.
2. MyMovie.swf - a Flash Movie that can be played in the
Flash Player. Most
commonly placed on the web server and will require a web page
with the
OBJECT and EMBED tags to load the movie. Also can be loaded
externally by
projectors discussed in next item.
3. MyMovie.exe and MyMovie.hqx are Flash Movies that include
the Flash
Player and can be run from the Windows and Macintosh desktop
respectively.
Also called projectors. No web browser is involved so no need
for html tags.
If you look at File->Publish Settings and the Format tab,
you see what files
you can choose to publish. The above are the most common and
most useful.
