You Are Rad If You Know How To Do This...

Hello My Fellow Flashophiles
So, I will bow down to you if you know how to help me with
this one.
I have a MovieClip in my Flash file which emulates a
signature being drawn by animating a mask that covers over a bit
more of the underlying bitmap (of the actual, static signature)
frame by frame. I'm interested in allowing the color of the static
signature in the bitmap to be set dynamically. Here's the
pseudocode I've come up with so far:
- Access the bitmap in the MovieClip
- Replace (somehow) every black pixel in the bitmap (the
signature is black, the background white) with a pixel that is the
chosen color
- addChild the MovieClip to the main timeline
I am also considering separating the bitmap from the
MovieClip and just setting the MovieClip as its mask
dynamically....
Any ideas on any part of this? You're rad!
Thanks,
Graham

Oh! Cbeech is the winner once again... I'm really starting to
owe you, friend. Thanks once again for your invaluable help...
So, yes, I decided it would be best to strip the bitmap out
of the mc. Instead, I load it programmatically, apply the threshold
method (I
knew there had to be such a function! -- thanks, Beech!),
then set the animation as the mask programmatically. Note to
Cbeech: the colors for both the bground and the signature are
selected via the sampling method you helped me with before.
Here's the outcome:

A lot of work for modest results, but I suppose that's the
name of the game. I'm not complaining, tho. My understanding grows
geometrically, and it's fun!
Be Well,
Graham

Whenever my new iMac updates or is shutdown, I lose all the Bookmarks that I've created in Safari are gone. Anyone know how to prevent this?

Several times now I have created a Bookmark list in Safari but everytime the iMac updates the software, or I shut the computer down, I lose all the Bookmarks. Only the pre-installed Bookmarks remain. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening?

After the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan and save the file to desktop or documents. You can only see the image in the print preview area. Does anyone know how to fix this or when a fix will be out?

After Aple support downloaded the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade on my MacBook Air, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan a document and load the file on to my desktop or document file. (You can see the doc image in the preview but it doesn't save it.) Does anyone know an Apple fix for this or when the fix will be out? After hours of trying reloading, and the usual fixes, etc. Apple told me to call HP, and HP told me they don't support Mac. It does not seem honorable of Apple to put out an upgrade and not tell people it will destroy their scanning ability, and that the only thing to do is to buy another printer/scanner.

Have you tried using Applications/Image Capture to scan.
Vuescan often works.

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

Yes:
Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
That's it!
So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
This document gives location:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
Which OS?
If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

Hi, I need to take my daughter off from our Apple account and set up her own. So, delete her from one account and create her own. Realize I sound imbecilic for not knowing how to do this. Any ideas? Thank you so much. Jules

You don't have to take her off your account exactly: she needs to sign out from your account on her computers and devices. Then she can obtain an Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com and use it to sign into System Preferences or Settings>iCloud.
However, there are some issue about this. If she has been syncing her calendars and contacts to your account then the data will disappear from her devices, but remain on your account. Individual calendars can be exported as .ics files and reimported into her account, but if she has her contacts mixed up with yours she will have to enter them individually in the new account (or export yours, import them into hers, and delete the ones she doesn't want.
More intractable is the email issue. She cannot move an address from your account to hers, so if she has been using a alias on your account to have her own address she cannot transfer it. She will have to create a new email address.

I am facing troubles as Firebug is not compatible with this version, I dont want to use any older version. please let me know how to fix this or if you have any other workaround.

I am facing a lot of troubles as Firebug and my other add-ons are not compatible with the new releases of firefox.
I don't want to switch to any other older version of firefox...
Please let me know how to fix this.. or I request you to provide a solution / work around ASAP.
Thanks...

Firebug has development versions that should work in Firefox 4 beta builds. Try the latest version (1.6X.ob1) available from http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6X/
This is a beta version of Firebug.
For other add-ons marked as incompatible, you can install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 Add-on Compatibility Reporter], this will enable all of your add-ons and you can test to see if they work. If the add-ons do not work you can disable them. Note that the current release version of Firebug will not work, you will need to use the beta version.

When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
// Get the icon from the b3 button
var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
// Get reference to the b0 button
var f = getField("b0");
// Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
// Show the b0 button
f.display = display.visible;
This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

Hi Apple_Mom,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've noticed issues after updating to iOS 7.0.2, you may want to first update to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released.

Please, I really need to know how to do this on my own but I do not know what to do.Thank you in advance to anyone that is answering this question that I know most everyone but me knows how to accomplish. thanks!!!

In iTunes go to the Help menu in the upper menu bar. Then click on iTunes Help. Then on Sync your iPod, iPhone or iPad and follow the instructions.
