Wierd button behavior: flashing between Up and Over, won't go to frames

I have this strange behavior with buttons. These are button instances, not movie clips used as buttons.
I created a list of buttons for a drop down menu. Created the first one then dupliacted the symbol to create the others. The buttons have an Up and Over state. I coded each button in the normal way - for example:
on (release, releaseOutside) {
gotoAndStop("M1-2S-1");
Problem: the first button works fine but all the duplicated buttons act like movie clips with no stop. They cycle between Up and Over states and the goto code does not work.
I an using Flash CS5, Actionscript 2.0

Do all the instances have unique ids? Are the duplicate buttons displayed as Movie Clips (check the Properties tab)? If you're using goto actions anyway, why are you using buttons?

Screen flashing between grey and background, dock not showing

I don't know how this happened, but I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion: as soon as I'd logged in, the Dock dissapeared, and the background started flashing between grey and my background. The only way for me to open anything is through Spotlight.
Whenever I try to make an app fullscreen, it glitches halfway through: half the screen is grey, and half the screen flashing. Opening Notification Centre flashes between grey and open and background and closed. Mission Control won't open, and CMD-tab fails to do anything.
Upon inspection in Activity Monitor, there is an abnormal amount of processes named "com.apple.dock.extra": closing them does nothing. One process exists and then doesn't in time to the background flash, and the amount of "dock.extra"s grows and shrinks from 3 to 10.
Can anyone help me with this strange problem?

Open Spotlight and type Terminal. Select the Terminal application.
Type 'sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Dock'. Ensure it looks exactly like that (minus the quotes) and hit enter. Type your password if you have one. Then, type the command 'killall Dock' and hit enter. The dock will terminate and restart, and it will hopefully be returned to its previous state.

My key between z and c won't work

I am getting dings! My, well, key between z and c won't work in either case and dings at me when pressed. My MacBook is fairly new and I have never had any trouble before. Who knew I would need that key so much?

The first thing that comes to mind is that you might have accidentally set up the "x" key to be a keyboard shortcut ... which results in an error because whatever it's a shortcut for is often not possible in the context when you're typing.
Check System Preferences, in the Keyboard and Mouse section, and click on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab. I would first check at the bottom where you can add custom keyboard shortcuts, but you may also need to look through the other sections to see if you somehow set "x" to be a shortcut for any of them.
Of course, if you remember going into that preferences section, you might be able to more quickly determine what happened...

I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

Seems a common problem.
What OS are you using, Windows 8 64 bit or something? Win 8 has an embedded Flash Player on it, and I have been told here that if this is the case, installing a new version of Flash Player is not necessary, but Fire Fox needs the plug in. They came out with a Flash Player plug in for use with Fire Fox that includes a debugger, but I have not tried it yet. (see below).
I have tried installing Flash Player 11.8.800.994 and 11.7.70.224...... and all crash. I think maybe some anti virus software needs to be disabled to allow installation, or the anti virus thinks its malware. I am also not sure if I need to also install Shockwave Flash for the whole thing to work?
Not sure the following will help and I am about to try it because I am going round in circles, too.
If 11.7 extended support release works for you, would you please update your success by adding a reply at the bottom of your original post, and let us know what you did that worked?
Good luck!

IPhoto 9.2.1 Update causes screen flash between desktop and blank

A customer brought his MacBook Pro to us after updating his iPhoto to 9.2.1.
When he boots up, it loads and flashes between his desktop and a blank bluish/black screen in 1sec intervels.
If you pull up iPhoto it will stop and everything runs "normal"
I have run a Software Update on iPhoto and the System as a starting point.
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Processor: 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
iPhoto 9.2.1
Any suggestions?

At this time, I'm leaving iPhoto on.
The Finder works just fine. Don't see any problems.
I restarted.
At first it did not blink. Saw the desktop.
Then it began to alternative between a color and the desktop.

What does it mean when my magport charger flashes between green and amber and isn't charging the MBP?

It runs the computer but won't charge the battery...trying to figure if it's a battery or charger issue. I can't find any info on it flashing between the two colours. The battery appears to be in good shape and it only a few months old

Unless it's from a same model of Mac, I wouldn't do this.
For some reason the laptops are having issues using other models of chargers, I think Apple started doing this recently to avoid people using the wrong charger with the same connector.
So just take the machine in for service,
I have some MagSafe trouble shooting links here under #1 SMC Reset

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hello AmrElShayeb,
If the steps provided in that article didn't work, then you will need to contact Apple Support. From the article:
If the button or switch still isn't working, if it works intermittently, or if it's damaged, contact Apple Support to set up service.

Help with at start up folder that flashes between ? and Mac OS Icon.

So I have an eMac that had Mac OS X 10.3.5 on it. About a week ago a software update came over on my Mac for 10.3.9. I tryed to download it and upgrade my OS. Somewhere along the line something crashed and I tryed to revert back to my 10.3.5 after that I turned off my Mac and turned it on again and I got the darwin screen. Now I dont have the original OS disk that came with this Mac, I got it off a friend of the family. I did have a Power Mac G5 OS X 10.4 CD that I was able to get into the CD by holding down C when started up. the Disk First Aid said everything was fine, and I tryed to install that and it told me that I could not install this software on my Mac. So someone I work with told me to erase the drive in the First Aid menu and the computer will reboot the OS. So I Erased the hard drive and went into the menu that lets you choose the start up OS and that did not load. Now when I turned on my eMac it just goes to a screen with a folder that blinks back and forth between a question mark and a Mac OS Icon.
Another person I work with has a Mac OS X 10.3 CD and said that should get everything up and running again , but he has not found it yet. Last night I tryed my parents iMac OS 10.2 CD and that CD will not load when I hold down C when I start the Mac.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

More accurately, this should read "...that will "only" run on that particular computer model." Those disks are always gray in color.
Generally, a Mac will not accept/run an OS version lower than the one it shipped with.
The Hobo is exactly on target when he asked for the specific model. There are two distinct generations of eMacs and that can affect recommendations. We can better help you if we know which one.
I'm a little confused about the disks. Did any of the disks you're tried or will be borrowing come from an eMac? Did your eMac come with 10.3 pre-installed or did you upgrade from an older version of OSX?
It's a little late in your case, but I have a way of dealing with Software Updates (SU) that's never (knock wood) killed any of our 13 Macs: When a system update is first offered, I don't let SU install it then. I finish what I was doing, closing all active applications, then use Disk Utility on my hard drive to Repair Permissions (RP) BEFORE I allow SU to install anything. Then I run it again AFTER SU finished. Permission repair is controversial but harmless, but I'm doing something right that has kept me from having update problems, so I keep doing RP before installing any updates that SU pushes out.

Flash, After Effects and Photoshop won't launch!!

Hi,
I've been a CC member for quite some time now, and recently I've had to re-install Windows 7 due to a major crash. Getting almost back to normal, I installed all the apps (above) which are required for my average day job. Only this time none of them will even launch, they don't show the splash screen anymore. Is there a fix for this?
I'm running :-
Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1)
GTX 680 - driver v335.23
I've signed out the CC panel, tried running but nothing happens. I saw another thread suggesting renaming OOBE, which I did and then I do get an error. I have also tried to uninstall the programs but I can't, it won't allow me as there are no un-install files in the folders.
Please help, arghhhhhh

Any ideas on what could be wrong, I forgot to add that Lightroom does launch! I haven't tried my other Apps. I'm thinking this might be a graphics card issue!?

HT1386 Auto sync between iPhone and iTunes won't turn off

Somehow my iPhone still starts to autosync with itunes on connecting, despite the option 'Prevent iPhones etc from autosyncing' in Preferences being checked (and saved!). Highly annoying. Why does it ignore this setting and how can I REALLY turn it off?

When that happens you have to have iTunes restore the device.

PowerBook constantly alternates between charger and battery & won't charge

One my PowerBook G4 15" is no longer charging the battery. Since I have twin laptops, I checked that all batteries and chargers worked properly. The recalcitrant Powerbook recognizes that the charger is plugged in but will not start without a battery. So I swap the battery for a full one, charged with the other laptop and I can boot up. Now the computer indicates that it is running from the battery then quickly goes into power adapter mode, yet won't charge, back to battery after 2 seconds, back to adapter after another 2... on and on and on, dimming the screen up and down and draining the battery quickly. I did reset the PMU and the PRAM according to instructions read on this forum, to no avail.
Suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
There are only 4 components in the charging circuit: Power adapter, battery, dc-in card, and logic board. It sounds like you're sure the power adapter (you did swap power adapters to confirm that?) and battery are functioning. That leaves DC-in card and logic board. It's possible that there's a dc-in card issue where it's not letting enough power through ... is the female jack on the side of the Powerbook loose? You could compare it to your working Powerbook. If not, then more likely it's a logic board issue. Take it to Apple, have them send it to the Apple repair depot, and if your case is in good shape, they'll replace the logic board for around $325, which is less than half the rate if they did the work in the store. We recently had charging problems, and sent it to the depot, and they replaced the old battery too at no additional charge.
