I'm currently running 10.3.9 on a G5 and am going to install Tiger in the next couple of days, but have a few questions first. I understand there's an "archive & install" option, but I'm curious as to what that actually archives. In other words, after I archive my current system and install...

Hmm... Okay, I could try that. But what about files that are brand new, created on the server? For example, I can make a new Indesign document that only exists on the server, and it'll have the same linking problems. Shouldn't it only affect files that have existed locally as well as now on the...

Yes, in a manner of speaking-- the old "server" is each of the local Macs. ;) Prior to switching over to the network drive, each designer was working off their own computer. m19

My company uses Indesign CS (3.0.1 on Mac OSX). We recently moved our job files over to a network drive, a Dell PowerEdge with Windows 2003 Standard Server, to help centralize operations. Problem is, I've noticed I couple oddities in Indesign when using the files on the server. The most...

Yep. PDFing the presentation in greyscale makes the text black, too, before it's even printed. It's definitely PPT that's causing the black text, so I need to figure out if it's even possible to get the black text to print white. Oi. m19

I'm whipping up a Powerpoint presentation for a client and am running into an issue with printing. The title slides have dark backgrounds with white text; when I or the client print that slide in color everything's fine, but when we try printing in b&w or greyscale all the white text prints as...

Picture this: you open a new document in Photoshop (CS, in my case), and drag the bottom-right tab out a bit so the document window is bigger than the document itself. That extra "frame" space should be grey. A minute ago I was working in Photoshop and suddenly that frame area turned black...

Anyone? m19

I'm working on a site with dropdown Javascript navigation creatd by Dreamweaver but instead of using the solid color DW sets for when you rollover one of the menus, I'd like to have an image instead. For example, instead of hovering over a button, having the dropdown appear, and then having the...

Okay, I'm no Flash master and I haven't been able to figure out how to set up a movie that'll call to other movies, either with action scripting or otherwise. Can anyone help with that (and hopefully very quickly)? m19

I tried out Ta-Da (and it appears Milk is much the same) but to be honest, those might be too complex for what I have in mind. ;) I'm going to keep trying Ta-Da and see how it works though, so thanks for the links! m19

I'm thinking of creating a list of films to remind myself of ones I want to see or get, so I don't forget about them. At first I was thinking of just creating a Word file and adding to it as I think of movies, but I can see that being a pain to add to it at home, save it, email it to myself so...

Hmm, I'll have to look into doing it that way, as it sounds like it's just about the only feasible method at this point. ;) Just wish I knew anything about actionscripting. m19

But doesn't that just play one Flash movie? The whole point is to have it cycle through six or seven each time a user refreshes or revisits the page, but it doesn't look like your code would do that... m19

I was wondering if there's a fairly simple way to set up navigation to behave in this way. Let's say that I have a cell on the left side of my site that has simple text links as navigation, set up with the following main sections: Home About Us Archives News What I'd like to happen is...

I don't know, that's why I asked. ;) I tried swapping out the filenames (inserting the Flash files instead of images) but it didn't work. I'm just not sure what I should replace... ri='<IMG SRC="'+ iArray[ri]+ '" BORDER=0>'; with... m19

Anyone.....? m19

I have six Flash movies that act as a header on a webpage and would like to randomly change which one displays each time a user visits/refreshes the page using Javascript. I've done it with static images before using this code in the header: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">...

Got it. The padding was being applied to the A elemenets; I just needed to create a separate style for just the P elements and it's working great now. m19
