• Can I access a label inside a MC and then return to the main time line

  Here is my current set up.

  I have a section marked on the main timeline that has the icons of 12 different videos. Each icon acts as a button and brings a user to a section marked with a FLV Playback component work video to play the corresponding video. These marked sections are located on the main of the time.

  This methog is my very long time mainline. Is there a way to do an additional MC which will hold all the buttons of the video and then have this MC separated in marked sections.

  In other words can I access a label inside a MC and then return to the main time line?

  My current code to access the label placed on the main timeline is:

  HowTo_maininfo_mc.theArrangement_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, theArrangement_btn_amimated_btnDown);

  function theArrangement_btn_amimated_btnDown(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  gotoAndPlay ("theArrangement");

  }

  What it would be like if my "theArrangement" label would be located inside a MC?

  Is there a specific code of if I want to have a close button located on the label inside a MC and he needs to get on a label located on the main timeline?

  You should have an image with an flvplayback component and having each button assign the variable value from a source that is used by your component:

  var sourceVar:String;

  function theArrangement_btn_amimated_btnDown(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  sourceVar = "arrangement.flv";  for example

  gotoAndPlay ("flv_pb");

  }

  ///

  and as part of the "flv_pb", use:

  yourflv_pb.source = sourceVar;  where yourflv_pb is your component instance name.

  Hi Stelana,

  If I understand correctly, the computer turns off when you want to disconnect.

  This behavior may be caused by this security software on the computer, or the computer might be infected with the virus.

  To refine the question, I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1: Disable the security software and test, follow the steps mentioned below

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Activate security software once it's all done.

  Because this problem occurs after cleaning registry, critical registry keys may have been changed.

  Some programs available for free on the Internet may contain spyware, adware or virus. Only download and install programs from software publishers that you trust. Even if the website, that you download the program trust, you must also trust the Publisher of the program. For more information, see when to trust a software publisher.

  Please see the link below:

  Registry cleaners are needed?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/are-registry-cleaners-necessary

  Step 2: Run a scan online for any threat and try to correct

• The clicked State remains on until the user clicks again and then return to the normal state

  I'm doing a light switch.

  Don't worry how, but here the click switch and stay in position of eon th until you click New.

  Using the buttons in the muse, the switch moves during the click on but goes back to the normal state

  http://www.cathylbrown.com/testf/

  Is it all similarly to this light switchwork.

  Good late night puzzle.

  I would reach this using a slide show.

  Put the two images in the slide show, and then have just a next button with an opaque fill 1%, which was set to be over the switch. When the user clicks, the slide show will move to next slide (which will be State of the switch). I probably also decrease in the duration of the default transition for the melted transition so it's faster than the default value of 3 seconds.

• I Zoom on the page, but if you go to another page and then return to the initial page, zoom has been reset. This didn't happen with Firefox 3.6.1, the zoom level would remain.

  This only happens with my laptop running windows 7. No problem with my desktop running windows vista.

  You are not running in mode for private browsing in Firefox when that happens, you?

• I tried to post a coupon on xianet and my computer has been taken over by a Trojan horse.

  I tried to post a coupon on xianet and my computer has been taken over by a Trojan horse. My report says: Win32/fakeSysDef. He directs me to a data recovery site that charges $75 to solve the problem. No idea how to do to remove the Trojan horse?

  Microsoft support addressed my problem and Javier took control of it and solved the problem.

  It has been pretty smooth how I got the Trojan horse. When I tried to display a coupon, a dialog box came asking if I wanted to download a software. I clicked 'Cancel' and this is meant to 'run '. That's when all this started.

  Thanks for help.

  I received a call Thursday last of someone who said they were by the Windows team and that my computer has been altered.   The call was clearly from abroad and had a bad connection.  Basically, they wanted to sell me something for $99.  Is it a scam?  Called again today and they make me nervous because I don't know that much about computers.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

• I received a phone call from someone claiming to be windows saying that my computer has been infected.

  only, I was contacted by a person claiming to be windows saying that my computer has been infected and he called for help.  He hit me the windows and "R" key at the same time.  Then I typed in "eventvwr" and who showed me a list of some events with indicator red and yellow.  Then he wanted me to go back and enter "iexplore www.support.me", so he could fix my computer.  I became very suspicios and did not continue with his appeal.  Is it a hoax or someone really trying to help me?  Because I did not communicate with him, I feel that this is not a legitimate operation.  Thanks for your help.

  original title: telephone call from Windows?

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

  Read this Information from Microsoft:

  "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

  Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

  That's what you do if you never give them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  See you soon.
