New to Flash CS5. Need some assistance.

Hey,
I want to learn flash cs5 and before that I had some queries:
Some of my friends who are java programmers told me I need to know programming in order to learn flash. (Action scripting) I honestly don`t know any programming, so is it possible for me to learn flash? I will be using flash to make simple animation, like moving a car, smoke, clouds etc.
So I am good with photoshop/after effects and have a good design skills.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
So as I told I have zero knowledge of programming, still I will be able to do animations in flash? Also as I told I am good with maya/photoshop/after effects.
So if programming is not needed to learn flash, what are the advantages of using flash if we already know actionscript?

New to Solaris administration - Need some help with some issues

Hello all,
I am a new to Solaris administration and need some assistance with a few things. I was going to make separate posts but decided it would be easy to keep track of in one. I really do not know much about the OS but I do have a little Linux background so that might help me out. I am going to number my problems to keep them sorted, so here we go.
The machine:
Sunfire V880
4x 73GB HDs
PCI dual fiber channel host adapter
Attached RAID array:
Sun StorEdge T3 Array with 9x 73GB HDs
Sun DDS4 Tape Drive in a Unipack
OS: Solaris 5.10
Updates: Updated everything except 2 patches (Updating is a real pain isn't it? At least it seems that way to me.)
1. So I might as well start with the update issues! These 2 updates will not install:
-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
-Patch for mediaLib in solaris, (121620-03)
Install of update failed. Utility used to install the update is not able to save files. Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 4.
No idea why the PostgreSQL update is not working, but the medialib patch seems to not have enough hard drive space.
2. Where are all the drives? I don't know how to find the RAID box or the other 3 internal hard drives. When I installed the OS, I think I installed it on only one hard drive and that might be part of the reason why the medialibe update above says that I don't have enough space.
3. I probably need more space for the OS and updates, is there a way to "add" space onto the hard drive that currently is running the OS?
3. Once I see the other hard drives I wish to combine them to make a RAID 0 and RAID 5 array, how do I go about doing that?
4. How can I find/see the tape drive?
5. Does my swap space really need to be 64GB? I know the book I have read suggests it, but I only made it 5GB because it didn't seem to make sense to make it 64GB.
Thank you in advance for the help. I know these are a lot of questions to ask but please go easy on me :)

-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
Exit code 0 means there were no errors. When you run showrev -p 137004-02, does your system show that the patch is installed? You can check the log for a particular patch add attempt in /var/sadm/patch/+patch_num_rev+1- A bunch of stuff shows up, here is a portion (I am not entirely sure what it means, there must be a least a page of stuff like this):

When you run format command, how many drives are listed? Identify your root drive (compare with output of df command you ran earlier) Please post here.2. Output of df-hk, looks like I ran out of room. Should I just go ahead and reinstall the OS?

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit content without actually downloading the explicit songs?

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?

See if there's a non-explicit version and download that? Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense. You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks?

Workflow for creating Flex components in Flash CS5 needs work

Am I missing something? I thought things were supposed to be easier.
I'm creating an AIR application for a client with heavy embedded video.
I have chewed up days on trying to get stuff to work, mostly creating a graphics heavy component that I can use in the AIR (Flex) app.
Just clicking the magic "Convert Symbol to Flex Component" command won't do it if you have created your own .as class for the symbol, because it won't compile unless you extend the UIMovieClip class. Good luck trying to find it in the namespace.
After hours I found where to download the Flex Component Kit that contains the swc that gives you the UIMovieClip class.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1273 018#
Notice the title of the page: Flex Component Kit Alpha for Flex 2.0.1
Shouldn't the need for this kit be ancient history? Shouldn't that swc be built in to the new SDK's and/or Flash Builder 4?
Make my living on Adobe products, and love them, but this is sloppy. No documentation. No walk-throughs. Have burned many hours that I can't charge the client for because it make me look incompetent.
Creating a Flex component in Flash with extended functionality SHOULD be a no brainer.

I managed to get it work at the end...
First, the components directory was at this location:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS5\en_US\Configuration\Components
Then, to make a component out of a MovieClip, right click on the MovieClip in the library and select "Component Definition" and check the checkbox "Display in Components Panel". What I did then was to right click on the MovieClip and selected export swc file, and saved it in the directory above. This exported only one Component, which was fine for me. Probably it would be possible to do something similar to save a library of components as a .fla or .scw or so, but I don't know the details.

Still Have v. 10.4.11 but am configuring a new MBP and I need some advice..

hey-
I am replacing my 3 year-old MBP which never made it to the Leopard stage, because I was chicken. This one is going to be cleaned up and given to a family next door from a real poor area of Mexico and until they saw this had never seen a notebook. So I am excited about this.
anyway, I am configuring a new MBP together and I have a few questions that are probably pretty basic, but still questions. I should have thought of this before, but is getting a new MBP with Snow Leopard installed on the machine (and I was old by the support guy who helped me with the configuration since it will be used for a graduate school of architecture, planing, and preservation program too.
any feeling on jumping from 10.4.11 (which I guess is Tiger OS X) to Snow Leopard and totally bypassing Leopard? It sounds like Snow Leopard is pretty much a major "update" to Leopard, but that is probably wrong. (Just a side questions, what does the Operating System OS X mean and do all of the operating system have OS X or did it start at OS 1 and will keep going up?)
Is there a time when a person who wants to try and focus on school or other important things can pretty much be sure that a new OS has had sufficient time for the major bugs to be worked out and most likely can feel safer about making the purchase than if they had not waited and did not really care-thinking that Apple would get them fixed and the updates would fix the problems? I do not tend to think this way, but in this situation I am going out a bit from my usual "way" and living or should I saying hoping that this has happened and is true? Does that make sense? So, any feeling if SL has been out long enough now that Apple has had a chance to make sure it is doing well and has pretty much been integrated into the hardware and properly functioning of the notebook as a "single unit?"
thanks in advance for any feedback and I apologize if the wording was incorrect or I did not explain myself clear enough.

You should not find it hard to jump from using Tiger (Mac OS 10.4) directly to using Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6). Some things are a little different, including a few changes to system preferences & how the Finder handles changing views from one folder to the next, but it is fundamentally the same from a user interface standpoint. In fact, there are very few interface differences you would notice between using Leopard (Mac OS 10.5) & Snow Leopard.
What you will most likely notice the most when going from a 3 year old MBP to a new one is that its response is substantially quicker: startup is quicker, apps open faster, Finder tasks complete in less time, etc. This is due both to the more powerful CPU & other components in the new machine & to the new OS, which is more efficient than previous ones.
"Mac OS" is the generic name for Apple's proprietary operating system that runs Macintosh computers. There were versions 1 through 9 of this operating system, starting with the one developed by Apple for the first Mac that appeared in 1984, but the first version to get the "Mac OS" designator was Mac OS 8, released in 1997. It was followed by Mac OS 9, released in 1999. All of these versions can be considered decedents of the first one, with strong family resemblances both in their internal structures & graphic user interfaces. Mac OS X is much different internally, incorporating many components of the venerable UNIX operating system first developed in 1969 at AT&T's Bell lab, plus a graphic user interface update (named "Aqua") more suited to its greatly improved capabilities. It is not a "pure" UNIX variant but instead a synthesis of UNIX & Apple's old & current technologies.
Each major revision of Mac OS X has had a cat name & a "point number" like Cheetah for 10.0 or Tiger for 10.4. Each revision has brought new features to the OS as well as under-the-hood improvements. Unfortunately, these improvements come at a cost in terms of legacy support. Some applications require revisions to work with each new major version, as do some of the drivers for external hardware. Generally speaking, fairly current apps & hardware drivers have gotten or will get revised for Snow Leopard if needed, but there are no guarantees that all ever will.
There are also bugs in every major OS release from every OS maker. Generally, these are obscure, affect few users significantly, & are eliminated in updates released after the first major version, but even the updates can introduce new bugs. Snow Leopard appears to be more bug free than any prior Mac OS major release, but the possibility exists that some bug will affect you in some critical way.
That said, the chances of this are low, & you should not read too much into reports here of problems unless they are widespread & describe very closely the same problem. Keep in mind that there are already several million copies of Snow Leopard in use; any really widespread problems would result in tens of thousands of complaints & probably make the evening news as well.

New in srm, i need some help

Hy everyone, i'm new in srm, i need to learn how to create a new user in the system, i can copy an user, but if the user is external i cannot write in the table t77s0.
Does someone has a tutorial?
Thanks a lot, Julieta

Hi Julieta,
In table t77s0, you can set indicators for HR replication according to note 550055.
After this, for users which were replicated from HR system, you should not modify it in SRM system, but only HR side and synchronize the changes.

Ivy

I'm new to flash and need help with some controls

I'm builidng a site that has a portfiolio of work to display.
When the visitor arrives at the portfolio page he (or she) is
faced with a split panel. The right panel displays a summary of a
client and the work. The left panel displays the work examples
attributed to that client. By clicking forward and backward arrows
in the right panel, the visitor can call the summaries of the
different clients. Landing on a client page 'opens' a separate swf,
called using loader component, that contains the portfolio of that
client's work into the left panel
1. I want forward and backward arrows located on the main
movie in the left panel to control the progress of the loaded swf,
rather than using forward and backward arrows on the loaded swf.
2. I want to prevent the forward and backward arrows in both
panels from clicking beyond frames in the Portfolio area of the
timeline.
3. I want the backward arrow to be innactive on the first
frame, and the forward arrow to be innactive on the last frame.
I have no problems making the arrows work on the main movie
controlling the client summaries. What I don't know how to do is
make them control the movement of the loaded swf, or #2 and #3.
Any help will be greatefully appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Art

Hi Art,
There are different coding methods, depending on where you
put code..
1) Frame code
Click on a frame of the timeline to enter frame code
2) Attached code for movieclips and buttons
Click once on a movieclip or a button then enter attached
code
To make an onEnterFrame event for a movieclip, first chose
either frame code or attached code method. I personally rarely ever
use
attached code because it hides code in places that can be
hard to find. Almost all my coding is frame code, but it's a
personal
choice.
Frame code method to make an onEnterFrame for the main
timeline..
// put this code into a frame on the main timeline
this.onEnterFrame = function()
// do something once per frame at the frame rate
checkMyButtons(); // once per frame we will check on the
button status
OR
Attached Code method to attach an onEnterFrame event to a
movieclip
// click once on the movieclip (don't dbl click it .. stay at
the root timeline level)
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
// do something once per frame at the frame rate
Those two types of code are not interchangeable. One type
must be entered into a frame and the other style must be attached
to a
movieclip or you will get errors.
Then there is the DOT syntax way to write frame code that is
equivalent to attaching code..
myMovieClip.onRelease = function()
trace("release");
myMovieClip.onPress = function()
trace("press");
myMovieClip.onDragOut = function()
trace("drag out");

New to Flash AS3, Need help with some weird issues, have .fla link attached...

Basically, the buttons are not visible when siteplan_mc is replayeed after floorplan closes, but they still work. Most things are only working on double click for soe reason, tho I have them to function on click. and the back button only woorks on unit 1 floorplan, tho the code it the same for all floorplans. I have a feeling it has something to do with levels... but I really have no idea... hopefully someone can help!
thanks in advance,
Sarah

There are at least two things you're doing wrong. You can't go to a frame where something exists for the first time, and immediately do something to it. Like in your playunit functios for example:
gotoAndStop("unit1")
unit1_mc.alpha = 1
unit1_mc hasn't yet drawn itself on stage to have its alpha set, and so there's an error. That is something that was improved in Flash 10, so if you had set the Flash to publish for Flash 10 and not Flash 9, then the floor plans and the back buttons appears ok. It would sometimes work with double clicks because by the second time you clicked, the movieclip now existed. You might be able to do what you want by having all of the room units on frame 1 of the siteplan_mc, and then set their visible to true or false as you need them, instead of doing the gotoAndStop().
The other problem is that you're trying to set listeners on the Back buttons that don't yet exist. Wait until you're on the frame where the buttons exists, and then set its listener for the mouse click.
Other things you're doing could be improved too, but really you might want to get together with someone who has done more AS3, to help you become more familiar with how it works.

New Safari 3.0.4 Won't Load web Pages, Need some Assistance.

I Too have installed and updated to 10.4.11 from 10.4.10 and too am having problems with the new Safari 3.0.4 ... My Problem like all the others, is for me, Safari isn't loading any web Pages, I just get a blank Page and nothing is happening, its just sitting there doing nothing. What could possibly be the problem and what should I do??
Please someone help Me soon, I do have 2 back up web browsers but I prefer Safari because all my bookmarks are on there.
I wish Apple would fix this glitch before putting out the new Safari, because alot of people are having problems with the new Safari, is there a way that we can contact Apple and complain to them about Safari 3?
Thank you,

Im Glad you had solved your problem but I am still stuck on mine, I tried to see if I had a PicLens Plugins in my input manager Folder but I don't, what I have instead is a Folder called Smart Crash Reports info/smart cra...rts.bundle and info. icon document.
Safari 3.0 gets crashed by various 3rd party add-ons ("enhancer" programs and also InputManagers) which are doing things that are incompatible with it.
Based on what is working for other people in this forum, I think you should delete (or move to the Desktop or something) anything in your Mac's (global) /Library/InputManagers folder and also the Library/InputManagers folder specific to your logon to the Mac.
Also delete or uninstall anything else that is any sort of Safari enhancer/speeder-upper/skinner/prettifier.
If that doesn't work, it's possible that some time previously you had some add-on/enhancer thing which directly patched the insides of the Safari.app (ie directly changed the Safari application in your Applications folder, rather than installing itself in some other folders like InputManagers (and Apple has tried to do a non-destructive/merging update and left those unexpected and now incompatible modifications merged-in). In that case there are some instructions posted a couple of days ago on www.macfixit.com how to fully delete the Safari application and reinstall a completely fresh copy of it from the Combo updater for 10.4.11.
Anyway, I'd say the best first step as already posted here is to get rid of anything that is an InputManager or otherwise an "enhancer" to Safari and see if that resolves it for you.

I'm new to this and I need some assistance with centering.

I believe that it is a simple soultion but one that eludes me. From what I've read it involves tweaking the CSS rules for the container, I've tried that but no luck. I'm trying to add an external mp3 player to my page and center it with a certain distance from the items located at the top of the page. Here is my code for the page.

First and foremost, get rid of the APDiv.
AP in APDiv stands for Absolute Position. It uses a pixel distance from the top left of the page and draws the element in that location no matter what happens with the rest of the page. You can't center an absolute positioned element.
You also have some other errors in your html that are going to cause problems.
Run your page through the validator at http://validator.w3.org to get a listing and fix those problems.
If you get everything cleaned up, remove the APDivs and are still having issue centering your info, post back with your updated html and we can take a closer look.

Need some assistance to my new N97

Hello, I just got my new Nokia N97. Yesterday i used the battery blank, and it has been in the charger for 12 hours, but when the phone started i noticed something weird. I just wanna know if it is normal, or my phone displays an error. At the bottom of the phone (when it is closed), i see a Nokia sign, like a watermark behind the menu, or whatever im looking at, also pictures. I have already downloaded and updated the phone with the new firm ware twice! But it is still there, although i dont recall i was there before i charged the phone first time. Please help!!

this sounds to me like a possible hardware issue with faulty lcd, i would get it exchanged right away.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Can someone take a look at my project and give me ideas to reduce lag/optimize it? (relatively new to flash and need help)

I really need to reduce the lag happening in this project. I know practically nothing about action script except for what I've used in this project so please keep that in mind.
Im going to try and break apart the grouped art so its in its most basic form and see if that helps, and also change all my tweens to frame by frame since those two things helped me with an animation I did awhile back that was lagging severely.
But I was hoping someone with more knowledge could take a look and see if there is anything that they know of that I could do to help fix this. I'm working in Flash cs6 and using action script 3.
I have to turn this project in by this Friday (the 20th) so I would love to get this sorted by then but even if I can't I would still be interested in some possible solutions, just for learnings sake.
Thanks.

Thank you for yet another cryptic reply, remember I'm the idiot here who doesn't understand this stuff so please can you explain things in a little more detail. Thanks.
I am using the JW Player setup assistant and it lists two types of code
The "Embed code" and the "swfobject 1.5 code" but not an Object/Embed code that you mention.
This is the code that the website is telling me to use.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/embed/swfobject.js"></script>
This text will be replaced
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('/embed/player.swf','mpl','480','270','9');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('flashvars','&file=http://web.me.com/nathmac31/Flash/WaineWeddingHD. swf');
so.write('player');
</script>
My movie does play on through the player on the JW site, after about 30 seconds of waiting for the picture to appear. When I cut and paste the above code into my webpage, I don't get anything. I have dropped the "Player.swf" and "swfobject.js" files into the folder containing the contents of the page that I want the player to appear on.
Where is the exact best place to drop these files?

I am new to LR and needs some advice please

I have been using Raw shooter and have been shy of going over to LR.I am not a hugely knowledgeable user nor that technically minded. I purchased Scott Kelbys, and Martin Evenings book on LR and am learning as I go, I have been reading several threads on this site and I am concerned about all the negativity I am reading about LR being buggy, with problems?
and how it seems that Adobe are not doing enough with LR to address any such issues? I am a canon user and issues relating to Canon raw are a particular worry. I am about to put my entire collection from Raw shooter ( On External LAcie drives) into the hands of LR in the future. Is this a wise decision? Please help.
Also I want to get started if it is the right thing to do, my PC is getting on abit, with 4 yr old tech inside and only 1gb ram. I will soon get somthing more powerful with 2-4 gb ram. my second question is this. I will be running my libraries on external drives only ( LAcie F.A. Porsche).
If I have imported my images without moving folders, with LR 1.2 loaded on my pc. If later I remove LR from it and reload onto a new PC will it see all my libraries again and know all my settings again without issue and without having to re-do everything. If that is the case then I had better wait until i upgrade the Pc, before I start any work with LR, which will be frustrating.??
Apologies for a long question, but I am technically challenged. If anyone can assist me in these areas I would be grateful

LR is not buggy and it converts Canon RAW files just fine. I run LR on a PC without any significant issues except speed. LR is too slow in some areas (importing images, browsing thumbs and previews, in particular) compared to other programs such as Photo Mechanic and ACDSee, but it is very stable on a clean computer. Many features need improvement but hopefully that will come in time. Meantime LR is quite good and I bet you will like it. There is nothing better overall.
You should never risk your images to any software or anything else. Keep a backup copy of your originals separate from the copy you use for LR or other software. Plus LR is a non-destructive editor (pixels are not changed) so your images will be quite safe.
As Tomrock said you can transfer your database to a new computer without difficulty. I do recommend a new computer, a 4 year old machine with 1gb RAM will probably be frustrating. Other folks say that a quad core processor and at least 2GB RAM is the way to go. My 2 year old dual core Pentium with 4GB RAM is definitely too slow for LR. You might also consider switching to internal hard drives in your new computer and use your external drives for backups. Internal drives for your images and catalog file will be much faster.
Also Tom's advice about importing a few images at a time and then testing how things work is very good. It is definitely a mistake to import a huge volume of images until your are familiar with LR. It is very easy to delete a small catalog file and start over since a few hundred images imports quickly.
Good luck.

New to Flash CS5

I've been using flash cs3 for over a year and recently upgraded to cs5. I've also done this for dreamweaver, etc. For the most part I haven't had any problems until it came time to create a new flash project in cs5. The problem I'm having is with motion tweens; specifically, I cant find the tool or menu or icon to do fade in - fade out transitions. In Classic mode in the properties menu there is NO color effects or even effects option. I've tried preferences, using different display modes, etc but nothing works, oh, and I'm using a mac! Can someone help me in plain english??

Click on the movie clip from the stage and go to the properties panel, under color effect select alpha from the style dropdown. So you need to change alpha to 0% on one frame and then move to another frame and set it to 100%.

Need some assistance with multiple problems (8330 Curve)

Hello all,
I am recent buyer of an 8330 (Verizon). I like it a lot and find it a very useful tool. Being new to the BB world, I do have some questions, that I cannot find answered on any of the BB forums.
So here they are:
1. I have two e-mail accounts setup on my BB. So this means that I should have only two e-mail options under applications. I have three and the third one seems to get messages from both of my two other accounts. What is also weird is that there is no e-mail header on the top (like with the other two e-mail folders). How do I get e-mails to stop going in to this folder and basically delete it? The other strange thing (that I just noticed is that this generic e-mail box gets some e-mails that my other two accounts never see (even though they have their correct e-mail address on them)!
2. How do I create sig lines for my e-mail accounts? I have read the help pages, but the instructions they give me for creating signatures on my outgoing e-mails does not work.
3. Does the new 4.5 SW upgrade allow me to use the GPS capability with my phone? I bought the download Garmin SW for my phone ONLY to find out later that Verizon has blocked this feature! It should would be nice if either VZ or Garmin would have made that crystal clear when I got my phone. :-(
Thanks much for all the assistance!

1. That is the "Messages" folder. It is a dumping ground for ALL messages including all emails, sms, mms, pin, BBMessenger (if selected) and any others like Browser messages, etc. You can't stop messages from going there but you can hid the icon, if you like.
2. To create signatures for email you have to use the BIS logon from your PC. Use the link below to do this:
https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=vzw
3. Upgrading the OS does not allow you to use the GPS with other software like Garmin. This is a Verizon lock and there is no way around it. They want you to pay for their service.
