Russian and Chinese Flash movies - general advice needed please

Hi all -
This is a plea for some general 'jumping off' advice. I am an experienced Flash developer but now have a request to convert an existing xml-fed movie into both Russian and Chinese. I speak neither of these languages so we have had the content of the movie translated by a professional translation service.
The movie contains both png/jpgs with embedded text - created in Fireworks and also (for the bulk of the content) external xml files. I still need to be able to develop in an English environment - so purchasing a full version of Flash/Fireworks in Russian/Chinese would be folly. How should I go about this? If it is a matter of fonts - where should I get them from? And are there any considerations to be met with regards the xml files? Basically, I would really appreciate some general advice on this subject as it is completely new ground for me.
Much obliged,
Hugh

Thank you. Having the airports all in proximity was the key and, of course, I eventually found the same advice in an apple help file. I set the new AExtreme up as WDS main with an ethernet disk for backups and music. An old AExtreme as WDS remote serves the Cube by ethernet and a usb printer. An AExpress as WDS remote serves one stereo. The other AExpress is WDS relay serving another stereo and helping the network reach the office where the last old AExtreme is WDS remote with another USB printer. The 3 mac laptops are happy. I have yet to try any PCs.

Variables into flash movie - Urgent help needed, please

I am hoping this is simple:
Here is my HTML code:
<param name="movie" value="orig2.swf" /><param
name=FlashVars VALUE="sname=video1.flv"><param name="quality"
value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
I need to pass video1.flv to the flash movie.
Here is the MOVIE data. I was told this is how to do it, but
I am sure it's missing something basic.
//insert sample link below
mediaDisplay.directLink = "
http://flash.xxx.com/flashgen.cgi?sname=&aname=xxxxxxxx/_definst_";
//pulls sname from param value in HTML
mediaDisplay.simplePlaylist = sname;
streamnameTxt.text = sname;
So, it should pull the SNAME variable from HTML and feed it
into player. If I type in SNAME variable and manually place it in
DirectLink line above, it works, but I need it to feed from HTML.
PLEASE HELP!!

I know how to pass the variable TO flash, but how do I get
the FLASH movie to receive it??
Again, here is the code in the FLA file
//insert sample link below
mediaDisplay.directLink = "
http://flash.xxx.com/flashgen.cgi?sname=&aname=xxxxxxxx/_definst_";
//pulls sname from param value in HTML
mediaDisplay.simplePlaylist = sname;
streamnameTxt.text = sname;

Some general advice needed please

Until today my network was DSL, AE802.11g with ethernet external drive and usb printer, a cube and printer on a remote AE802.11g and an express for the stereo. I had 3 laptops connecting except from one room that I want to move a printer to and use as an office. So I bought some more kit to extend the network.
A new AE802.11n and another express arrived today. Because the house is big with thick walls I think I need at least one airport set up as a relay rather than remote. After reading the discussions I managed to get the new AE set up and connected to the DSL. but, I seldom get more than 1 or 2 AE or expresses show up in airport utility making it hard to set them to join the network which seems to keep disappearing. The most remote AE is near one of the expresses but does not see the network.
Any suggestions for the optimal settings for each device? And what order should I set them up in?

Using SQL*Loader to Load Russian and Chinese Characters

We are testing our new 11.2.0.1 database using Oracle Linux 6. We created the database using the AL32UTF8 NLS Character set. We have tried using sqlldr to insert a few records that contain Russian and Chinese characters as a test. We can not seem to get them into the database in the correct format. For example, we can see the correct characters in the file we are trying to load on the Linux server, but once we load them into a table in the database, some of the characters are not displayed correctly (using SQL*Developer to select them out).
We can set the values within a column on the table by inserting them into the table and then select them out and they are correect, so it appears the problem is not in the database, but in the way sqlldr inserts them. We have tried several settings on the Linux server to set the NLS_LANG environment to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8, AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8, etc. without success.
Can someone provide us with any guidance on this? Would really appreciate any advice as to what we are not getting here.
Thanks!!

The characterset of the database does not change the language used in your input data file. The character set of the datafile can be set up by using the NLS_LANG parameter or by specifying a SQL*Loader CHARACTERSET parameter. I suggest to move this question to the appropriate forum: Export/Import/SQL Loader & External Tables for closer topic alignment.

Layout in Arabic, Russian and Chinese. Exporting text from a PDF

I am laying out long documents in Arabic, Russian and Chinese. The text has been provided as a PDF when I copy and paste this into Indesign it comes up as boxes question marks and other characters having nothing to do with the text I am trying to layout. I have set the typeface to the Myriad Arabic and the Arabic dictionary still nothing resembling Arabic or any language for that matter. Same with Chinese and Russian. Any suggestions on how to get the text in from the PDF where it is the actual language. Appreciate any help with this. Thank you.

Thanks for the callout, Ellis
Soooo, KK: you are in for a world of hurt. The intials "WP" at the beginning of these fonts means that the text came out of WordPerfect. Doing multilingual layouts in WP was annoying, but possible. It was developed in the pre-Unicode world where every single method of complex-script layout was a dirty hack. If you like knowing All of the Nerdy Dirty Details, I can tell you how it worked, but suffice it to say that trying to harvest non-Latin-script text from WP and repurpose it for use in InDesign is just pure pain. The WordPerfect-specific codepages were never really supported anywhere outside of WP.
That being said, I have a script laying around somewhere for conversion of WP-Cyrillic into Unicode. (Actually, I think it does Windows CP 1251, but that works just as well.) But that is only one out of forty-five languages? And the Chinese has been rasterized? And the PDFs were originally generated by Distiller 3? If you have any choice, it's time to walk away. If you don't have any choice, I really hope you are billing hourly. My experience in this area (painfully extensive) is that it will cost three to five times as much to extract the text as it would to have a translation professional rekey the text, and then to have a second translation professional review the rekeyed text looking for typos.
Russian OCR is pretty damn good these days, but Chinese OCR is hit-or-miss. I have never seen good Arabic OCR - doesn't mean it's not out there, but I couldn't help you find it. But chances that all 45 languages have reliable OCR available, and that the result of said OCRing will not need to be reviewed by someone who knows the language, are basically nil.

I am using InDesign CS5. I have a body of text which is ranged left with tabbed indents. My client now wants the copy to be justifed, keeping the tabbed indents. Help and advice needed please!

Hi
That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
Hope that helps
Paul
PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

Your signature in 1st post was 10.8.2.
You went backwards?
Did you reformat and reinstall when you first purchased it?
If not I HIGHLY recommend you do that before you do anything else.

Flex and a flash movie clip

Hi All,
I'm looking for some information on how to take an embedded
flash movie clip and control it through Flex. I want to be able to
manually move through the movie clip, select frames to display etc.
Any information pointing me in the right direction would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

For Flash SWF's:
Inside your componet/app def:
private var movie_clip:MovieClip;
private var myLoader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
onInit() {
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.INIT,loadHandler);
myLoader.trustContent = true;
myLoader.load("../assets/my.swf");
this.addChildAt(myLoader,0);
private function loadHandler(e:Event):void{
movie_clip= e.target.content;
movie_clip.gotoAndPlay(2);
movie_clip.some_custom_as3_method();
For Flex SWF's here is an example:
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.managers.SystemManager;
import mx.core.Application;
// * gets rid of type checking so we can leave strict enabled
[Bindable]public var _appLoaded:*;
private function
onCurrentApplicationComplete(oEvent:Event):void
_appLoaded = Application(oEvent.target.application);
private function onCompleteAppLoader(oEvent:Event):void
var smAppLoaded:SystemManager =
SystemManager(oEvent.target.content); //get a ref to the loaded app
//listen for the application.complete event
smAppLoaded.addEventListener(FlexEvent.APPLICATION_COMPLETE,
onCurrentApplicationComplete);
// call a custom public method in your application mxml file:
public function setPlaylist(id:int):void {
if(_appLoaded) {
_appLoaded.change_playlist(id);
]]>
</mx:Script>
 <mx:SWFLoader id="player" x="0" y="0"
source="@Embed('../assets/Player.swf')"
complete="onCompleteAppLoader(event);" trustContent="true"/>

Photoshop Elements 8 advice needed please

Hello!
I received PSE8 for Christmas and have Never used one of these programs before! I noticed it does not come with a manual of any sort and did find a few books on amazon and was wondering if any of you "experienced" users could recommend one to me!
Was looking at either the "Dummies" book for PSE8 or the "Missing Manual" series.
Any advice is appreciated! I learn quick but need good clean explanations!
Thanks!
Carrie

I used PE The Missing Manual by Barbara Brundage when I started out with an earlier version of the program. The chapters are well written and illustrated. It is a quality product and should serve you well. Barbara moderates this board and is generous with her advice. I have no commercial connection with the author or with the publisher.

Access List (ACL) to Block Russian and Chinese Nets From Routers

I see people asking if there are premade ACL's to block Chinese and Russian nets from their edge routers. Since I spent so much time creating entries for them based on information received from http://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/ i decided to share them. They are in the attached Word Docs.
There are alot of entires but since it is in a standard ACL it should not tax your routers too greatly.
Sean Odom
Sybex/Wiley Cisco Author

Well, I'd rather not tax the IPS even further for something that the edge router should be capable taking care of. Especially since the source of the traffic should be denied at the closest managed point.
If you do not want this traffic coming inbound, closest for some would be the edge router. Others may only have their firewall as the closest manageable point.
Suggestion to those that do not manage their edge router would be to compile a list such as the one listed above. Then send it to your provider requesting they place it on this router. Of course this may become a double edge sword in a sense. If there is legit traffic from one of these source IP addresses that you identify down the road, it might be a hassle to get the block resolved.
Or, you can also apply these right there on your firewall as well.
Thank you for providing this list!

If SharePoint is good tool for a "customer portal" (general advice needed)?

Hello, I'm looking for the best solution for my needs and consider SharePont. Please have a look.
I'm in B2B business and results of my work are files (presentation, pdf, video etc). All files are grouped by "projects". Every project has at least name, number and date. I have not so much customers, let say, 50 and one hundred projects a month
total.
What I need is that my customers could log into some web-site with nice interface, find project by name, date or number and download files from the project.
Additionally, we use in-house .Net/SQL developed software for operations. I also need to incorporate some data from SQL (like project progress in %%) to the project page.
Could you point me out if SharePoint is a good solution for this task and how to get started?

Nikriaz,
As I understand that you want your client to download files and you want to update project status from sql data.
If so, then SharePoint foundation will work for you. It has user login, Document management, search, default workflow and web part functionality inbuilt.
You may need to provision authentication to your client, for their login using passport/live/Hotmail account or so.
On the other side, if you move to office 365(E1/E2) then passport authentication already taken care of and all functionality will be there except project status data sync with sql unless use enterprise licence
with BCS.
Hope these information will help you.

General Advice Needed

Hello all,
I have a 15" Macbook Pro (Version 10.6.3) running Snow Leopard purchased in September 2008. I has so many issues and I would like to know what my prognosis is.
First of all, I have one of the Macbook Pro's with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT that I've read so much about. I believe (or rather, hope) that it is this causing at least some of my issues.
I won't detail every problem because I don't want to waste your time. I'm am not looking for 'fix' details as I'e tried everything. I seek advice as to what to do next.
Firstly: Only a few days after purchase, my laptop would continually crash and shut itself down, refusing to restart for 24 hours+. I didn't understand what the problem was so I took it to an Apple Genius who simply told me what programs were running what it crashed. Deleting them all (including BootCamp) my laptop worked again, for over a year when the issue started happening again. My computer would shut down randomly and not restart for a long time.
Is this due to the NVIDIA issue? My nearest Apple store is a long drive away and having been let down before, I don't want to go all of that way for nothing. If I'm honest, I don't trust them, either. I've heard stories of people being told there's nothing wrong with their computer multiple times before a Genius would finally admit fault. I'm also afraid that the tech will take my laptop, find an 'unrelated issue' and charge for £200+ for a fix that I didn't specifically ask for (Apple have promised free warranty for those with the NVIDIA issue.)
I've tried my level best to find out exactly what the problem is, but I'm not very technical minded. I hear that the NVIDIA chip causes mis-shaping of the Macbook case? (which mine has, on its right hand side, near the firewire etc ports.) Does it affect iSight, because that, too, has inexplicably stopped working over the last few days, as well as a number of other things.
Basically, does it sound to you like I'm owed a repair or not? This issue has been troubling me for such a long time and I've had such a hard time trying to get it fixed that I'm sapped of all of my spirit. After nearly two nears of ownership, my laptop DOES have some general wear and tear which is my fault and I don't have a problem with, but considering my issues first started DAYS after I made my purchase and I TRIED to get it fixed then, surely, it must be an inbuilt problem?
Please help me make sense of my next step. Is NVIDIA my problem? Am I entitled to a free fix?
Thank you for your time and advice. I await response with eager ears.
Nick

Hello. I ran the hardware test that you recommended and came back with the follow error.
With only a small amount of research, I have discovered that this is a graphics card issue: specifically, the NVIDIA one as highlighted in the original post.
Now I know for certain I have a faulty NVIDIA card, I'm sure Apple will do the repair for me (although I still hear stories).
I was just wondering if there are any other symptoms to this issue? Is this why my laptop has overheated and mis-shapen? Is this why my iSight won't work? Please arm me with as much information as you can give, so I know what to expect/ask from them.
Thank you once again for your time and thank you a brody for your extremely helpful tip - you've made me a content man.
