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

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.

Posing a question to those well versed in building Flash training applications

I would like to start an off-line communication chat with those of you who are well versed in Adobe Flash or Adobe Flex.

thank you for your reply
the best answer is email or chat. I use Skype and google talk.
the reason is simple. I can probably guess that we are at least 10 time zones from each other. I am currently in Tokyo Japan; just moved last year because of my Japanese wife.
Meeting face to face is virtually impossible and the time zones make a telephone call impratical.
My English training idea stems from the fact that kids in Japan study English for 6 years. This is mandatory. After 6 years of studying any subject matter, you certainly should know it fairly well. In Japan, the education system stresses grammar, not conversation. The kids can read and write English fairly well, but can't speak much English.
This seems extremely strange; judging by the high level of science and mathematics taught in school. The system of English education is extremely broken in Japan. Everybody laughs when I tell them learning to read and write a foreign language is more important that speaking the foreign language. Well, that's how it is in Japan. I am making it my personal quest to break this broken system and give them something that is sorely needed in Japan.
Anyway, that is too much information about what I am trying to do.
If you can point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful. I also forgot to ask how Adobe Captivate might fit into all this. I notice Adobe carries a suite of e-learning products. My idea is to be interactive and fun, not so much a slide presentation look and feel.

Some dvi questions for those who really know there stuff!

Hi all, haven't lurked these forums in a few weeks but just had a quick question for those who wanna build up some "points". I'm trying to connect my MBP 15" (1.83ghz) to my Dell LCD 26" T.V. via DVI. Anyhoo, the DVI port on an MBP is a DVI-I (Dual link 24 + 5 pin) fenmale port while my Dell LCD sports a DVI-D (Dual link 24 + 1 pin) female port. Anyhoo, I went to my local Circuit City store and picked up a 6.6ft DVI-D (Single link 18 + 1 pin) male cable to hook both devices up. Should this work? If those have no idea what I'm talking about, I've included a link with a picture of allt he different DVI ports:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Dvitypes.png/180px-Dvitypes.png
If I haven't explained myself well, please post and I'll do my best to clarify.

Am I missing something? Do you actually have a problem making this work? If the plugs you chose are mechanically compatible (and both are DVI D, dual-link), then there should not be a problem.
Ah. I see the concern. The extra four pins. I believe they make the connector able to supply hybrid DVI-A and DVI-D. The Mac output is hybrid so it can easily be adapted drive a VGA monitor, too.
I think you should be fine.
I have a ViewSonic 1600x1200 LCD monitor with a DVI (single) and it works superbly with the Mac.

What is the minimum browser requirements for Captivate 5? (Specifically Flash and Java)

I create a Captivate from and upload it to our LMS. When employees access the course it takes a long time for it to load. My IT department is asking what is the minimum browser requirements for Captivate 5? Specifically Flash and Java. This is occuring on PC's and a Citrix environment.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the same.
There is nothing in specific. When you say it takes a long time, do you mean on the LMS or locally as well?
Try updaing the Flash Player.
You can download the Falsh Player Versions from the below link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Which browser you are using?
Also what objects you have in your project?
Does it have widgets or heavier graphics?
Also are you using any particular preloader? Have you tried using the default.swf preloader?
Thanks!

AS Library for both Flash and Flex

Hi all,
I want to create an action script library that i can use with
both flash and flex. i understand how to do it if i want to just
use it in flex, but i also want it to compile down in to an swf or
whatever so i can use the functions in flash. i tried creating an
action script library, but it requires me to specify a 'runnable
application file.' which doesn't make much sense, since i just want
a class library.

Found the answer (sort of). it's only partially possible. The
best way would just to edit the as files in flex builder and not
create an actual library (though this approach doesn't work if you
need to distribute the library).
In order to do create a library, you need to create a Flex
Library Project in flex builder, not an Action Script Library. the
action script library is a misnomer.
then, when you build you have to jump through some hoops to
get it to actually work, but creating a manifest file and setting
"compute-digest=false" as a compiler option. for more info, check
out the following blog post:

Question for those with a Venture & a Venture One

Has anyone apped for both the Venture One and Venture at the same time? What were your starting limits, and were you approved for both? (or approved for one and declined for the other?) I have a Venture One with a 3k starting limit. I've heard both cards have the same underwriting, so I might have a chance at the regular Venture as well? I'd love to try for that and then combine the limits six months from now. One other question: My Eq is my lowest score, and on my Venture One approval letter they had it listed even lower (637). I've heard some have had luck apping with Eq frozen... would it be a good idea to do that before I app again, and is the freeze immediate if I do?

Venture isn't going anywhere...let the Venture One age, show a history, then you can get a Venture later.

Question for those that have returned hot MacBooks.

For those that have returned, for exchange, a MacBook for heat, did you return it before the 14 day return perriod?
Mine is at 70C at idle (just running iTunes and Safari) and the top of the unit on the keboard has reached 50C. I took mine in and the Genius said it was within spec. Just kinda currious.

Closing this question.

What antivirus is better for those who work with mac and windows?

In my home I use an iMac, but in college I use Windows, and more than once I found an infected file. I know not affect iMac, but I prefer that viruses are removed. Right now I use ClamXv, but I don't know if it is effective.
Am I to continue using ClamXv? or, do I use another?
If there are others better AV for mac, what is most recommended?
**I have also used Sophos, but it makes the iMac go very slow.
Thanks for your attention.

1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to your computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandboxing security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders," for example, are outside the safe harbor, though not all are malware.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
There is an increasing tendency for rogue websites such as "Softonic" and "CNET Download" to distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous installer that also installs malware or something else that you don't want. Never visit those sites, and get all freeware directly from the developer's own site whenever possible.
Software attached to email that you didn't request is unsafe, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
Software advertised by means of spam is unsafe.
Unknown "free" software that a stranger on the Internet is eager for you to download is unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
"FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will inevitably result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Doing any of the things alluded to above should make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. New threats are emerging on a daily basis. Research has shown that most successful attacks are "zero-day" — that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based malware scanners do not defend against such attacks.
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not completely effective. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular trojan it is, but do you really care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless an institutional policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every unknown email attachment until proven otherwise.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. "Hmmmm, this torrent is a crack of that new game I want. I think I'll download it. It could be a trojan, but the antivirus will warn me if it is." Then they wonder why their Mac is so slow all of a sudden. It's slow because it's running flat out mining bitcoins for a hacker who has already sold their credit card number and banking passwords to a criminal gang. Maybe a week later the antivirus does warn them, but what good does that do?
Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

Question for those with memory issues on k8n neo plat

I have been having issues with my memory on the k8n neo platinum board since i built the system last month and i just recently discovered a fact I had overlooked.
I Have discovered that if i test the system while it is cool (having sat turned off overnight for example), then memtest will pass the ram just fine and the system will be stable for a short period of time, generally longer if no intensive applications are used, ie. doom3 vs. websurfing).
This system, once it heats up ( seems mostly to be the nvidia 3 nb that needs to be "hot"- that is, a probe placed in contact with the module reaches about 58+ degrees c) then the system becomes unstable and memtest, if used, fails.
Prime95, if used on it when its cool, will usually take about an hour or so to fail, but if its used on the system when its been running a bit ( temps from nb at 58c+ and memory module hot to the touch) then it fails after about 20-30 seconds.
I have placed an active hs on the nb in an attempt to correct this, but temps still remain high with failures occuring.
I have spent the better part of three days testing the sytem this way and the above facts have held true in all these tests.
I have tested at stock ratings ( not using "auto" in bios, but using "approved ratings" of 10 x 200 for fsb and timings of 2-3-3-7 for my ram at 1:1 (which is recommended as well) since i am testing for base stability at this point;Voltages have been left at auto settings, however.
I was wondering if anyone else with memory issues could try this out and post if this seems to be the case for you as well.
Perhaps the memory issues on these boards are directly related to a problem with the nvidia 3 chipset running too hot?
Does anyone have a memory issue with these boards who is using water cooling on the NB ?
Lack of issues from people using 'problem" memory, but having no failures with water cooled nb's would support my assumption.

Yes i did mean chipset.
I am using a stock hs/fan from amd, which seems to run a tad hot but, considering that I wont overclock until I can get board stable, its not an issue. (runs 35-40 idle and up to 72 intensive). I need the warranty more then the extra mhz at present.
I removed the stock heatsink from the nvidia chipset and bought a generic chipset cooler (green, very little in the way of fins and seems to be aluminum) with a small fan.
I used a generic silver paste from Compusa to adhere both the cpu hs and the chipset.
I didnt lap either hs, just installed each as per instructions on artic silvers website (figured it had to go on the same way even generic).
I also bought a kingwin thermal center which i ran probes from to the cpu, case, and nb chipset.
I am not using it to adjust fans so those arent connected - its just a reference temp I can see at a glance, esp considering the funky bios reading this boards been known to give.
I assume from these responces that even a nvidia 3 250 chipset shouldnt get as hot as mine?
I asked about that from the retailer i bought this from but he seemed to think it was "ok" at 50ish celcius, but then again he didnt look too confident when he said it, lol.
Idle right now reads on Corecenter at 28 celcius for cpu and 33 celcius for the chipset, although, I have readings of 37 c and 43 c from the kingwin thermal center, which i believe to be more accurate.
My voltage reads at 11.67 for the 12v line at idle right now.
The psu i got is stick from the xblade case i bought in store. (http://www.xoxide.com/xblade2.html)
I have a dvd burner, cd drive, and two maxtor ide hd's attached to the system;The only card is the agp.
Is there a way to check and see if the cpu ispower starved? software monitor or even an external probe perhaps?
I havent put a probe on it, but the ram came in its own heatspreader, which gets very hot to the touch as well.
What temps should I be looking for on these items?

Question for those running 8.02 and Snow Leopard

The notices on L9 tout better CPU handing as one of it's advantages. But Snow Leopard has Grand Central Station which is supposed to do that too. So my question is this: Is Snow Leopard making a difference in the way the processing is allocated in 8.02?

The way I see this is that 10.6 lays the groundwork for the Mac OS going forward. It will take a while for application developers (including those at Apple) to rework their software to take advantage of new opportunities introduced in the OS. It seems reasonable to me that it might take a few months, but the future looks quite bright. A couple of developers that I speak with point out that the feature set of S-L, and the detailed implementations, wasn't set until just a few months ago, so it will take time. Programmers can't be expected to finalize their designs until they have firm specs. on which to base their work.

Question for those who've upgraded re: QuickTime interaction

For some of you who've upgraded (and those of you who haven't), I have a video that used to loop when using the older version of QuickTime, but doesn't loop for me using the newest version. I know some things changed in QuickTime for security, but I was unaware that it would affect this action.
I apologize in advance for the addictive nature of the song
http://web.mac.com/makentosh/iWeb/zample/crab.html
This video uses eZedia QTI to embed the "looping" in the streamed movie. Using this setup, a user would not have to edit the .js file of the site as the Autoplay="false" didn't apply in this case. What I wonder now is if it still works for users with the old un-upgraded QuickTime but doesn't work for the newer people. Just trying to determine if this is a true change for all users or if there's something particular about my setup.

It's caused by the missing QuickTime controller.
You'll notice that Loop is grayed out in your current file during playback and even adjusting the Movie Properties to add a controller version 7 does not allow your file to loop.
But 6.5.2 does work to allow "looping" if you add a controller. Of course I can't interact with your reference movie but the menu items for loop did activate.
Version 7.1.5 has some "hidden" features (I suspect related to TV) that actually use a different controller feature for chapter tracks and move them out of the controller and into a Menu item. Maybe sub titles?
Maybe it's time for your crab song to only play once?
Others have complained that 7.1.3 no longer allows Loop (from the Menu) to be saved with the file. I haven't fully tested that one.

Question for those with G5 Quad and either X1900 or 7800/Quadro 4500

Just wondering...when you upgraded your quad to one of these high-end options, did you notice the Leopard desktop feeling more responsive/smooth? Specifically, window resizing/moving, etc.
I've tried all the hacks such as setting deferredupdates to 1 and 0 and enabling/disabling QuartzGL with the original 6600, but sometimes the desktop is still choppy sometimes. I'm hoping this would be improved with one of the many 7800s or FX 4500s floating around on ebay and such, and I would think that even an "ancient" quad G5 would have more than enough power to make Aqua smooth...
Before I drop $400 on one of the upgrades, just wondering if anybody noticed improvement in desktop snappiness. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I have considered replacing the HD (looks to be a very early SATA 7200rpm Western Digital, with no NCQ support, etc.) But it seems to me that the slight choppiness has little to do with disk access....bear in mind I am running 16GB RAM as well, so that should cut down on disk paging. It does seem like the graphics card being overloaded with say, a graphics heavy webpage, when minimizing to the dock, its just not "smooth" at times, if you know what I mean, and neither are the bouncing icons in the dock.
Also, I am running Leopard 10.5.8 so perhaps you dont see this issue with Tiger. I've heard Tiger feels snappier on G5s than Leopard.
However, if anyone else has experience with a quad/7800/X1900 upgrade, and if you noticed Finder/Aqua being more responsive, I'd like to hear it.

Question for those who are getting their broken TCs replaced by Apple:

Are those of you who are getting a replacement TC through Apple all within your warranty period, or is Apple replacing all of the 'power issue' failures, regardless of warranty?
Do you have Apple care, or are you just calling the Apple Care number?
What model of TC failed?
I'm nervous about mine....
Thank you.

Anybody?

A question for those who use tumblr app?

I follow about 10 blogs, and when I look at my dashboard it is all a bunch of posts from each blog. Is there any way to see post from 1 specific blog on the app? Also can I browse for new blogs from the app or only on desktop version?
Thanks for any help.

Question for those who upgraded to Aviator Silver WEMC

Hello, I recently upgraded to the Silver WEMC and I noticed that above the credit line it says "Revolving Credit Line" vs my Rewards Mastercard that just says "credit line". Does anyone know the difference?

Does anyone know the difference? It's likely that is in fact a flexible spending line meaning you can spend above your credit line in any given statement so long as you pay min plus overage when due.
