Learning Flash AND swing

hi.....do u think Flash > Applet AND VB.NET> Swing ?
I have little knowledge on Applet AND Swing......but I think Flash and VB.Net has exceeded and captured the market of Applet and Swing . Now a days most sites are using Flash for interactivity and VB for interface. do u think learning Flash and VB.NET would be worthy ? or should i update my knowledge on Applet and Swing ? One more bad thing regarding swing is , the code becomes bulky to get a simple interface .
i have one more doubt,......suppose i made a interface in VB.NET ( front end ) , can i run java code in back end ?
plz let me know what should i emphasis ?
thanks

It all depends on your current situation. Are you employed in IT? If so, what technologies is your employer using now. What technologies do they see themselves using next year? In 5 years?
What skills do you have now? Are you proficient in any technologies? Think about whether you want to be a jack-of-all-trades or very proficient in a smaller number of technologies. Are your current skills saleable to an employer? Should you improve your current skills or start learning new skills?
Hey, for a forum answer, I've certainly typed a lot of question marks!

Flash and Standards

I'm a big promoter of web standards when it comes to (X)HTML
and CSS. I like to write meaningful code that will work across each
browser/platform.
This is where the question comes in: If I was to learn Flash
and Actionscript, where would I start? I would want my code to be
as meaningful and 'standards' promoting as possible.
Does anyone have some beginners resources to learn standards
based flash? Thanks in advance.

There are not necessarily standards in Actionscript. In order
to have
standards, generally you need two or more similar products
(like
browsers) that are competing in the market place. Instead,
like most
programming, there are design patterns. If you want to write
robust
code you should be taking advantage of Actionscript 2.0 at
least. And
to leverage all of it's capabilities you should try to start
writing
classes.
Here is a book I recommend. It is a really good one if you
have any
sort of programming background.

Learning interactions and Flash player

I am trying to place a standalone multiple choice learning
interaction on my timeline. I can place it on the stage and see
everything in the component inspector, (only broke apart once!) but
when I test it, it appears that I cannot see any of the UI
components such as the checkbox or radio buttons. Searching this
forum, someone suggested previously that I had to be running Flash
Player 65? I installed Flash Player 9 from this site to ensure I
had the latest and it still does not work. I tried it at work,
where we are running Flash Player 7 and it seems to work fine. Is
it still my Flash Player? Do these interactions ONLY work with a
specific player? If so I need to know so that I can specify that in
the delivery. Thanks.

open the fla in flash and see if there's an flvplayback component on stage. if there is change its size to match your flv. if not, search for .source (as3) or .contentPath (as2). that will lead you to the object that plays the flv and you can assign its size using actioscript .

I can't get the websites like youtube, facebook, etc to load. everything comes up as just text/words. i've downloaded adobe flash and real player on windows xp.

i have windows xp. i just got the computer and internet on it. i downloaded adobe flash and real player. but i still can't get sites like facebook and youtube to work. i always get popups that ask if its a trusted site and to add the exception, which i do. yahoo and msn work, i can see photos and pictures and images just fine, but facebook and youtube are still all just words and error messages. any suggestions besides what i've already tried? i'm not tech savvy so step by step is how i learn best!

Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the <b>issuer of the certificate</b>.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

Posing a question for those well versed in flash and flex

I would like to start an off-line communication chat with those of you who are well versed in Flash and Flex.
I've worked with Cold Fusion but I am not up to date on all the technologies available. This seems like the perfect forum for this question.
I simply want to build an application (web or desktop is unknown) in which a person can learn a foreign language, in this case English.
I need some technical advice as to whether Flash, Flex, or a combination of technologies (Cold Fusion for server side functionality) is the best choice for this application. I do not understand the technical aspects of Flash or Flex in building applications so I need the advice of you experts.
As with most foreign language textbooks, audio, or foreign language video training, the material is not interesting, not pertinent to daily life, and is great for late night insomnia. I've never seen any type of foreign language training that is interesting, fun, or uses current events as part of the curriculum.
I would like to illustrate my idea with an example. I want to use an existing English beginners textbook (for kids), scan the images in the textbook, store the content (rules of grammar) in a database and store example sentences in a database.
I would like to record basic audio sentences from the textbook (Do you know tomorrow's weather), incorporate some animation (baseball player hitting a home run), incorporate some basic video (purchasing an item at the grocery store), add a quiz, test question or puzzles, etc..
In addition, since this is a classroom setting and the kids are split into groups, I would like to store a seating chart with the kids names and pictures in a database. After the first segment is finished (e.g. purchasing a toy at the store) the kids next perform an activty. I want to use a combination of audio, video, and animation to explain the activity, give instructions, split the class into groups,and perform the activity.
As I mentioned before, I would like to start an off-line discusion for those of you who are willing to share some of you knowledge and experience with both Flash and Flex. Since you are extremely busy, maybe you might be able to point me in the right direction.
Hopefully, some of you can provide some sound technical advice.
Thanks in advance
Michael Poplawski

This is an abitious project even for some-one well versed in flex/flash, i have to give you points for outstanding courage on this .
You need to cover quite a few areas in a project like this both for the client and the back end, you need a strong understanding of animation(either through code or the flash timeline), data parsing, logic trees for the quiz/test elements and a lot more before the first line of code would be written.
In Australia there are already a few companies using flex for online educational applications and at least 1 state educational Authority. A search on the internet will find several sites pertaining to flash/flex based online education software and this would be a starting point to give you an idea of the strength flex has in this area.
Beyond this it is not the sort of project that 'help' would be readily available for unless it was relating to very specific issues you could readily define. Also this is not the best forum to request this type of help as the forum is more about testing a beta product. I am sure that if you start learning about flex and have trouble understanding different aspects of how things work there will be plenty of support from the flex community.

Best book for Web Developer learning flash

I've gotten far on my own just using online tutorials and dinking around in Flash on my own but my boss(es) are starting to ask for more complex stuff that I simply can't learn by just piecing together my Flash education.
I know there's many, many books out there that will teach you Flash but can anyone recommend any particular one(s) that are more concentrated in creating Web elements as opposed to game or animation development?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I hope this link would be helpful for you books For web developer Using Flash by "William Sanders"

Newbie wants to learn Flash

i want to learn flash. I have a very simple idea, but i need
to start somewhere. I didn't get anything with my software. Where
can I go to see a tutorial on Flash. I found some, but they go into
all the cool things, and I need to learn the very basics, like
size, fading, etc.
thank you!

Flash comes with numerous excellent tutorials for beginners.
Check the Help menu. If they didn't come with your software, it
seems that perhaps you don't have a legal version of Flash?

Trying to learn flash... Any good methods?

I'm trying to teach myself Flash and ActionScript inside and
out. I already
know Fireworks and Dreamweaver like the back of my hand so
now it's time for
Flash. I figure that to get good it will take me atleast a
year but I have
all the time in the world so that's fine. Anyways I was
wondering if anyone
knows of any sites that might offer video training tutorials?
Also are
there any other sites that are good for Flash Tutorials? I
did a search for
it on Google but honestly there are SO many tutorial sites
that it's hard to
decide which one would be a good one that covers alot of
subjects. Anyways
any help is much appreciated!

Really like the ones listed by Klaus Dewald. Also really
recommend the help files.
Don't use the search function in the help files. (But do use
it in these forums!) Use the ActionScript Dictionary or the AS 2.0
Language Reference (whatever it is called in your version of Flash)
to go directly to the different classes you need.
Classes or types of things you can use – some of the
most popular are MovieClip, Button, array, and TextField. Within
each of those classes are listed properties, methods, and events.
Properties usually can be related to physical or realworld
properties. So in the MovieClip class you will find things like _x,
_y, _visible,and so forth. In the array class you might use the
length. Often properties start with an underscore, but not always.
Also they are usually nouns.
Methods are things can can be done. So in the MovieClip class
you might see the gotoAndStop() or createEmptyMovieClip() method.
They are usually verbs or sometimes a verb and a noun put together.
This is to show their active-do-somethingness. They will always
have parenthesis after them. Sometimes there will be arguments
inside of them. The help files will tell you which kind of
arguments are required and which are optional.
Events are things that happen. Again with the MovieClip class
(really the central idea that Flash is built around) you might see
the onRelease or onEnterFrame. Usually they have a preposition and
a noun. They are implemented with an "event handler" – some
code that happens whenever the event occurs.
The help files are organized by all the classes and give the
properties, methods, and events for each class. With very few
exceptions everything that can be done with a given class is
explained in the help files. And almost every entry (at least since
Flash 7) includes sample code.
I really recommend browsing through the help files, picking a
class you don't know much about, and making some little test file
to help yourself learn how to use that class.
The other piece of advice I can give is to break things up in
your head. People often post here with questions like "How do I
load an external graphic using XML?" Well if you check out the XML
class you will see that it has nothing to do with loading external
graphics – for that you want the MovieClipLoader class. So
first learn how to load some XML nodes and then use that
information to pass off the name of a graphic to an instance of the
MovieClipLoader.
A subtle distinction, but it helps if you learn how to use
each class independent of each other. They say it is hard to
remember that you started out to drain the swamp when you are up to
your *** in alligators.

FAQ: How do I go about learning Flash Pro?

Because of the many different ways of using Flash Pro, and the overabundance of learning materials for it, knowing where to start is a challenge in itself.
Here's what we recommend:
The Flash Pro Dev Center provides a guide called Five steps to learning Flash Professional. It will give you a clear sense of what to focus on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
Learning the Flash workspace - This short video provides a good overview of the workspace.
Creating your first Flash Professional CS5 document - This tutorial is a great introduction.
Introducing Flash Professional - And this video is a good intro to Flash in general.
Also, Adobe TV has a show devoted to Learning Flash Professional CS5 & CS5.5. Focus on the videos with titles that start with "GS" (for Getting Started) first.

Srami... welcome to the forum...
your question is MASSIVELY broad and depends on your requirements and delivery expectations.
Basically... 'best' for what?
It's helpful if you provide some details for people to assist you.

Should I learn flash?

I'm in the first year of my degree and don't really have to spend much time studying because I've done most of it before. We learn the basics of HTML, CSS, Javascript, Flash, Photoshop etc but it's not specific enough to get a decent job with.
I want to focus my attention (and money) on learning one main thing and mastering it but aren't sure which to go for. I like using flash and love all of it's capabilites but also realise how important it could be to maybe master photoshop and look at digital art type stuff.
Or maybe learn CSS or something like that.
I want to maybe go in to website design, but am also interested in many other things. I mean, even if I do go in to web design, should I learn flash or should I focus my attention on photoshop and HTML?
I'm not really an arty type, I don't want to just be a programmer I want to at least do some design.
I want to look at how easy things are to learn, how fun it would be, if it would be useful in a few years and also the demand for it.
Thoughts?
Cheers!!

It really depends on what you want to do mainly when you start your career.
Personally, I wanted to learn everything to be as valuable as possible in not only a corporate setting, but also personal projects.
I attended Art Institute for Web Development and took classes on all the most popular platforms and applications. The list includes...
XHTML/CSS
Photoshop
Flash
Dreamweaver
AS 3.0
PHP/MySQL
On top of that, we learned about things like Color Theory, Design Theory and other Web Dev concepts.
In the grand scheme of things though, what I learned in school is only a fraction of what I've learned once I graduated and started working. I continue to learn things everyday, it is pretty much endless.
So getting to your question about Flash...
I think it is a valuable skill set to have. I wouldn't stop at Flash though. You still need basic knowledge, if not, advanced knowledge of XHTML/CSS and PHP/MySQL because your Flash projects will most likely require those technologies to implement in real world applications.
It's a crazy journey to say the least and every day, things get crazier with technology evolving so quickly.
The topics I outlined above are things you want to have a strong foundation in.
From there you can really focus on what type of work you want to do. I pretty much do a little bit of everything but like you are wondering, it does limit how far you can master one particular thing. But with time, I believe you can master most if not all of the topics.
Hope that helps.

        ChartProperties chartProperties = new ChartProperties();

        AxisChart axisChart = new AxisChart(dataSeries, chartProperties, axisProperties, legendProperties, AxisCharts.width, AxisCharts.height);
        axisChart.setGraphics2D((Graphics2D) this.panel.getGraphics());
        axisChart.render();
    //axisChart.renderWithImageMap();
     * Exit the Application
     * @param windowEvent
    private void exitForm(WindowEvent windowEvent) {
        System.exit(0);
    public static void main(String args[]) throws ChartDataException, PropertyException {
        new SwingDemo1();
}

I googled the problem and seems this may not work in my situations? As from my code, I am getting the graphic object and render the image.
Also, how can I pass my own arguments to the paintComponents method?
axisChart.setGraphics2D((Graphics2D) this.jPanel1.getGraphics());
        axisChart.render();
class MyDrawing extends JPanel {
    . . . // Methods, constructors, fields.
    @Override public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
         super.paintComponent(g);    // paints background
         . . . // do your drawing here
}

Publishing Flash and embedding

Hello everyone,
I'm afraid I'm very new to Flash and learning as I go, I'm
equally new to webdesign, so apologies in advance.
I've created a flash movie, and I've published it and got my
various files plus HTML file and my alternate JPG.
I can get the movie to work fine in Firefox but not at all in
IE, so I just want the alternate jpg to display instead. However in
the code where it says:
//end AC code
} else { // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
var alternateContent = 'Alternate HTML content should be
placed here.'
+ 'This content requires the Adobe Flash Player.'
+ '<a href=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflash/>Get
Flash</a>';
document.write(alternateContent); // insert non-flash
content
I put in img src=gloworb.jpg where it prompts "alternate html
content should be placed here" and nothing happens at all. Can
anyone help?
Thanks,
Ryan

Hiya, thanks for replying. Here is the final chunk of code of
the published flash. Bold is my addition.
//end AC code
} else { // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
var alternateContent = '
img class="absol" img src="glowing orb.jpg'
The class just relates to the positioning Ive assigned to the
main logo, and if the flash movie cant play I just want the static
regular logo to be visible instead.
Thanks

Flash and audio and text quality & Documentation/Manuals

Like a donut i posted in the wrong bit so here are the links
to my previous questions rather than duplicating them:
Documentation
/ Manuals
Flash
and audio and text quality
Apologies and thanks

There is no polite way to say this: You need training to
learn how to use Captivate to create learning objects for a LMS. It
doesn't need to be a "long" training period, but you are trying to
shortcut ALL training and begin at the end. I advise you learn to
use Captivate as a generator of learning objects (LO) for the LMS.
You seem to be thinking you can to use it as a "shell" for your
Flash output and it just isn't a Flash plug-in ... it is a
self-standing and sometimes complicated - but usually easy to learn
- learning tool in its own right (by "easy to learn" I don't mean
overnight, in any case).
Reasons why include the fact that Flash SWFs are vector based
while Captivate uses bitmapped graphics. Audio is handled entirely
differently on the two. Captivate's communication with the LMS is
not - I think - going to pass on scoring from the movie-in-a-movie
approach you are trying to use. And on and on.
Sorry I don't have more encouraging news for you. Good luck,
michelle.
