Hello. I have a table of contents (TOC) for the images in a book I'm typesetting. The TOC style gets all items with a certain paragraph style, that is applied to the titles or subtitles of each image. The document has a master page with a main text frame, where all text is displayed. The images...
Hi. When I try to draw an oval shape with the Oval Tool, holding shift, I get a perfect circle. Or so I thought. I go over to the properties panel and it always indicates the shape is taller than wider. Where I could expect something like w: 25px, h: 25px, I get w:25px, h: 28.7px, for example...
I'm typesetting a book using InDesign CS4. As usual, I have "H&J violations" turned on and go around fixing the worst cases, changing tracking and the horizontal scale.
Say I have a paragraph with 10 lines, all of them with varying degrees of h&j violation. Usually, when I make ammends to one...
Hello. This must be a very simple issue, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere. I'm using Flash CS4 and need to underline some text in a static text field. But I can't find that option anywhere.
Can anyone point me out how to do this? Thanks.

Hello. I'm working on a book and the TOC has the page numbers aligned to the right, via a right indent tab, that I defined on the paragraph styles the TOC uses.
Some of the entries, however, are a bit long and so they get too close to the page number or even fill more than one line. This makes...
I'm trying to create a prototype for an animation for a simple preloader. I'm using a line that grows from one side of the screen to the other (1000px wide). I drew the line, created enough frames for the animation, then selected the frames and created a motion tween. On the first frame I made...
The post title is basically my question. I'm building a website that has a video background and a menu on top of it. One of the menu buttons allows the user to view the website fullscreen (that I got working), but everything scales accordingly. I would like to make the menu remain in its normal...
Hi. I'm building an interactive pdf that will work as the content of an interactive cd. The main document is saved on the "cd" directory, on the desktop. I created a button that will open an external pdf file. The link to the file is an absolute link:

Hello.
I have a book I'm converting into an interactive presentation. I've included a running header in my master page and I'm trying to have it work as interactive breadcrumbs. The running header shows the title of the current chapter, and I'd like to click the running header and jump to the...
Hello. I've created a simple custom class that extends Sprite and called it Sprite2. It has no specific methods nor is it in any way different from Sprite, it just extends it. When I create instances of Sprite2 and try to access properties like rotationX/Y/Z or z, I get an error saying "1119...
Hello. I'm trying to build a gallery with thumbnails that, when clicked, grow to display the full-size image. I created an xml spry data set and I'm using a spry:repeat to go through each row of the data set and create the thumbnail. Then I attach the grow effect, but since the target is each of...
Hello. I've been trying to build a website using Spry XML Data Sets, and while I've accomplished my goals for now, I don't think the solution I came up with is the best.
The website consists of several areas that show projects. Each project has several fields that are to be filled with content...
Hi. I'm learning to use the Spry framework and I've ran into some problems while creating nested xml data sets.
Here are some samples from my code:

<language>english</language>
<language>portuguese</language>
</language_list>
projects.xml:

Hi.
I've built a page with several collapsible panels and inserted some flash animations on the tabs. When I click on a part of the panel tab that is not filled with the animation, it opens and closes normally. When I click on the animation, however, it does nothing. Can anyone tell me how to...
Hello.
I'm pretty sure this issue has been discussed before but I couldn't find a suitable answer.
I need my flash website to fill the whole browser window. In the 1st frame of my .fla file I used:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
In the Publish...
I have a swf file with a preloader on the stage at authoring time. The preloader centers itself by retrieving the stage dimensions and calculating the coordinates it needs.
This works everytime in Flash preview, but once I put it online it only works sometimes, mostly after I refresh the page...
Hello.
I have a swf with several MovieClip instances on the stage at authoring time. For example, say I have mBuilding that contains mFloor, that in turn contains mAppartment.
I have an xml file that contains data so the swf knows what to do with the MovieClips.
//xml

Hello.
During projects, I often use the same files and pin the script on the same frames in the actions palette, so I can switch easily between them. I don't know if there is a way you can save your workspace in order to include all of the open files and all the frames with pinned scripts...
Hello.
I have this menu item, which is a Sprite. The menu item then has several other items, also Sprite, as children. All items have a listener for click events. When I click the parent item, it's all ok, but when I click one of the children, both the child and the parent Sprite's event...
