• Update version 1.11 of the framework for Windows drivers installed then reverts changes (KB2761494)

  Compter starting December 14, 2012, framework for drivers Windows Update version 1.11 installed then reverts the changes made after the reboot. My computer is Vista SP2, x 86 32-bit. All other updates were up-to-date.

  I uninstalled all versions of .NET 3.5 and 4.0 and then performed the "aggressive" MS Fixit 50202. I then ran that Windows update manually to reinstall .NET and subsequent updates except framework for drivers Windows version 1.11 by hiding. Then I restored the driver framework hidden update and run this update. The update has been successfully installed, a reboot is required.

  After the reboot, Windows open and reported "configuration of updates: stage 3 of 3 to 65% (pause loooong, 2 minutes), then moved to 71% (another long pause, approx. 1.5 minutes), moved to 78% (about 1 minute), moved to 100% then quickly pointed out that the update failed and returning from changes.»

  During this attempt, Windows did not start. It was frozen on a black screen! No hard drive, no display activity. Manual AC offshore and under tension. Windows started and reported "updates were not correctly configured. Returning from the changes. "And finally, Windows starts normally.

  Event Viewer error Windows Servicing 26 times at the time of the recovery. "Servicing Windows could not complete the process in a State of package Package_for_KB971286... in tiered (tiered)" the other KBs referenced in other errors are 2685813, 2685811, 2761494. Associated USB driver are all these KBs.

  I have winusb.dll version 6.0.6001.18000 created 10/23,2008 16.0 KB.

  Apparently, the impossible framework for drivers Windows version 1.11 update this winusb.dll. Please advise or refine this update.

  Thank you.

  Hi Georgeatech,

  According to the description, it looks that you are not able to install Windows Driver Framework version 1.11.

  However, we need more information about the issue to help you better.

  Please help me to answer these questions.

  1. What is the "Windows Driver Framework version 1.11" error?

  2 have had any changes made to the computer before the question.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.

  Method 1:

  Follow these steps to see the updates of Windows are omitted.

  a. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programsand then click Windows Update.

  (b) in the left pane, click on view update history.

• is it possible to make a timer with AS3, which is accurate to a millisecond.

  I am new to AS3. I have somehow developed an auditory and Visual reaction timer taking the script from here and elsewhere. I know that his is not accurate and I also know that I'll write it correctly when I heard the script carefully.

  But I was checking the net about the timer class and various positions on this issue and I am annoyed by a question "if its possible to make a precise timer with AS3?" can someone please tell me with certainty. and I will be grateful if I know how to do it properly. I can post the code I wrote (assembled).

  the answer is, maybe. but for most of the coders, the answer is, no.

  getTimer() is accurate to 1ms.  but to determine the elapsed time / and don't call or to run code on a timed basis. It can be used with the Timer class events or enterframe to do certain things with precision.

  However, the timer class is not accurate in the way of thinking of beginning coders.  It will be, on average, to allow the call of a function near the designated interval so there is no performance problem with your swf file.  It does not allow each function call to occur at regular intervals.

• Adjust the order of the layers with AS3

  I want to load an external SWF into my project. I do this by adding a charger to the scene. It seems above all, there are 16 layers in my FLA, and I want to put it between the second and the third to the lower layers. How can I do this? I looked at some things online but they are all to change the order of objects on the same layer, and they usually invole do 2 or three objects with AS3 then change the order on the same layer, always above the objects that are actually on the stage of the FLA. I want to put the SWF loaded under Of OBJECTS ALREADY EXISTING that are on different layers.

  My code:

  var pageLoader:Loader = new Loader;

  addChild (pageLoader);

  pageLoader.x = 98;

  pageLoader.y = 121;

  pageLoader.z <-as far as I know it works in a single layer, it won't jump from layer to layer.

  Some have suggested to load my swf in a clip from movie ampty bt when I do this I lose interactivity for swf file, why is this and is there away around this?

  My code:

  var pageLoader:Loader = new Loader;

  pageContainer.addChild (pageLoader);

  pageContainer is an empty movie clip

  I want to load directly to the scene and just change the layer (first method), but if this cannot be done so I need a way to get SWFs loaded into a clip vacuum film and keep their own interactive.

  I dound in connection addChildAt, which is different from addChild, because it has 2 parameters, the name of the object and its z-index. So I was able to do:

  addChildAt(pageLoader,4);

  Then I met the same problem with movie clip method is empty, I lost interactivity. Then I noticed that there movieclips above because one of them is used as a blending mode by covering it. So, I realized that the empty movie clip method did not work because there are video clips above it. So I did mouseEnabled = false. And it works, so YAY!

• Change the text with AS3 makes the invisible text

  Hi all

  Even for a total n00b like me, this is awkward: I can't even change a text on the stage with as3.

  I place a text on my stage, assign the dynamics, incorporate the police and give it an instance name. When I change the text, he evacuated the scene or if it remains invisible, I don't know.

  I thought it would be as simple as this: myText.text = "new text";   but apparently I am doing something wrong. When I put a trace (myText.text);  before and after, I see the old and the new text in the output window. Then he changes correctly, but why he disappears it? Also tried in a new white project, to ensure that it was not something somewhere.

  I'm totally distraught...

  BTW I use Flash CS5.5 on Win7

  do not enter text in the ide.  Use actionscript to assign the original text of your textfield and also change.

• Newbie request for assistance with several drag-and-drop &amp; multiple targets

  I know that this question has been asked a million times, but I get always very well the solution.  I know that the solution called for me the use of tables in a part of my code, but I have problems understanding how to implement it.  I use Flash CS 5.5 with AS3.

  I have a flash drag-and-drop file which is divided into 4 distinct zones on the stage.  On each box, there are 7 places, for 7 different "puzzle pieces".  The first two spaces on each quadrant have very a very specific order for the correct puzzle pieces, while the 5 additional places on each quadrant also have specific parts, but the order is not important.  I have included my code below for reference (note that I have not all instances, finished yet).

  Basically, in code that's been created, the following bodies have specific targets with specific command:

  D1_1_mc, D1_2_mc, D1_1_mc, D2_2_mc, D3_1_mc, D3_2_mc, D4_1_mc and D4_2_mc.

  All other instances, such as D1_3_mc, D2_3_mc, D2_4_mc, etc. have specific quadrants on which they need to fall, but what about the last 5 'spaces' in each quadrant, the order does not matter.  I know that I can continue to do what I do, but I would have preferred that the last 5 pieces on each quandrant do not have to be in a specific order.

  You can provide any assistance is greatly appreciated!

• How to write Save function based on the drop-down list box selection data in app mxml flex4 with as3

  Hi all

  I'm working on the application web flex4 with as3.

  I have a doubt, I've created a mxml it has two text boxes, except the button and a combo box that is has two option as a percentage and the amount.

  my needs are I gave here.

  need 1: when I choose option amount that two text boxes does not have to be editable.when I select text tat box two percentage option will be editable.

  need 2: when I select the percentage in combox option and two text boxes are empty, and then click the button Save-> I want to display warning msg

  need 3: when I select the option amount combox and the two boxes are emptu click the button Save-> I don't want any warning messages.

  How to validate it and how to write backup for this function.

  This is my sample code:

  list box ID = baseAmtPer

  ID TextBox1 = maxCommAmt.text

  ID = baseAmtPer.text text box

  If (((baseAmtPer.editable!=true) & & (maxCommAmt.editable! = true)) & & ((baseAmtPer.text=="") & &(ma xCommAmt.text=="")) |) (baseAmtPer.text == "") | (maxCommAmt.Text=="")) -> This condition not allowing while I'm selecing amount in combo box. How the TWO TEXT BOX WILL BE EMPTY for this problem

  any suggession or extract code is welcome.

  Thanks in advance,

  B.Venkatesan

  Looks like you are trying to do too much at once. Try to hang the events correctly

  The close event of the comboBox can do something like this

  protected function toggleTextEditing(event:DropDownEvent):void

  {

  If (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label is "Percentage")

  {

  This.Text1.editable = true;

  This.Text2.editable = true;

  }

  Else if (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label == "Number")

  {

  This.Text1.editable = false;

  This.Text2.editable = false;

  }

  }

  The button's click event can do something like

  protected function save(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  If (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label is "Percentage")

  {

  If (this.text1.text == "" & this.text2.text == "")

  {

  Alert.Show ("text is empty");

  return;

  }

  on the other

  {

  }

  }

  Else if (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label == "Number")

  {

  }

  }

  If you can put in your entire code, maybe I can have a look to see if I can find something wrong with that.

• Parental and child control with AS3

  Hello

  I am new to AS3 and although I can see some good practices and functionality, I'm constantly stuck and can still do the things I would do if easily with AS2 - I almost it relearn from scratch!. I would still appreciate little help and advice on this...

  I did a class that creates a "sort" menu with data from an XML file, and basically is what he does when he is called to create an emptyMC (a container), add a childMC (a square) and add another child (a text label). When I create the container, I am trying to add a MouseEvent that can act on each instance of container, but all I can get is a MouseEvent on the object that contains all the MCs added. The code follows.

  Can someone enlight me with that issue or explain what I am doing wrong.

  I do not understand the parental dynamics with AS3 and the absence of the use of instance names and parenting dot does not help.

  Thanks in advance.

• Select all the text in the control with AS3

  Does anyone know how to select all the text in a text control (text, textarea, etc.) with AS3?
  
  Thank you.

  Answered my own question.

  Set the properties selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex of text controls.

  For example, this selects all the text in a text box:
  yourTextArea.selectionBeginIndex = 0;
  yourTextArea.selectionEndIndex = yourTextArea.text.length;

• External hard drive for use with FCPX Thunderbolt

  I got a new iMac, but the SSD in it's tiny, so I need to invest in an external drive at least some of TB.  Should I go Thunderbolt because I think it's faster?  I'm looking at Fantom and Lacie but I'm not sure what would work best for use with FCPX.

  Any tips or suggestions for these two manufacturers?

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Well, a disc of Tb2 (which takes care of your iMac) will offer excellent performances. If you need these speeds depends on really how ask your projects are. A USB3 drive will be fast enough for the vast majority of HD projects. Expect to spend more for the readers of Thunderbolt2.

  Here is a good article on configuring systems with external drives.

  Good luck.

• What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4

  What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4. I heard some do not work and the automatic switch has problems because Apple tv is still using power?

  I installed on a cutting and not because the automatic switch works because it isn't always. It came with a remote control that is almost as good, so don't mind the fact that automatic switching does not work well. The reason why I chose cutting is because it was the first device that gave me the good picture and sound quality with my AppleTV, the Xbox 360 and the PS4. (Don't ask!)
