What is the best practices workflow from illustrator to flash in cs 6?

Hello- question from an illustrator to flash workflow n00b.
I'm creating a flash experience with animated characters.
I'm building my art assets in illustrator.
I've found it relatively easy & straightforward to import assets from illustrator into flash.
I can conveniently import my layers and symbols from illustrator as separate layers and symbols in flash and manipulate them.
However, let's say after import I want to change something with an asset using illustrator. For example, I have a character with facial features, including eyes. I want to change the eyes in illustrator and have those changes then be propogated in some way- automagically or manually- in flash.
What is the right way to do this? Are there best practices for being able to go back and forth between flash and illustrator?
Thank you!

Thanks for the reply Suhas.
I guess the answer to my question is that there is no good way. In the photoshop/illustrator workflow, I can paste a document from illustrator into photoshop and then double-click it in photoshop to open it back up in illustrator and edit the original. I have seen posts on people doing this between Flash and Illustrator with the now-discontinued Flash Catalyst- a process that was apparently called round-tripping. Ideally, this is the functionality I'd like to have between Flash and Illustrator but I take it from your reply that the answer is 'Does not exist.'

  • What is the best practices recommended from microsoft to give access a intranet portal from internet externally

    Hi
    what is the best practices recommended from microsoft
    i have a intranet portal in my organization used by employees  and i want to give access for employees to access external from  internet also
    can i use same url  for employees access intranet portal from internally and externally or diffrent url?
    like ( https://extranet.xyz.com.in)  and (http://intranet.xyz.com.in)
    internal url access by employees is( http://intranet.xyz.com.in)
    and this portal configured with claims based authentication
    here i have a F5 for load blance and
     a request from external to F5 is https request and F5 to sharepoint server http request
    and sharepoint server to F5 is http request but F5 to external users it is https response so 
    when i change below settings in alternate access mapings   all links changed to https
    but only authentication link is still showing http and authentication page not opened.

    Hi,
    One of my clients has an environment similar to yours with an internal pair of F5s and a pair used for the access from the internet. 
    I am only going to focus on the method using an F5 Load Balancer and SSL Offloading. the setup of the F5 will not be covered in detail but a reference to the documentation to support SharePoint and SSL Offloading will be provided
    Since you arte going to be using SSL Offloading you do not need to extend your WebApps to use separate IIS WebSites with Unique IP Addresses
    Configure the F5 with SSL Offloading
    Configure a Internal AAM for SSL (HTTPS) for each WebApp that maps to the Public HTTP FQDN AAM Setting for each WebApp
    Our environment has an additional component we require RSA Authentication for all internet facing Sites. So we have the extra step of extending the WebApp to a separate IIS WebSite and configuring RSA for each extended WebSite.Reference:

  • What are the best practices for generating an EPS logo from InDesign?

    Our costomer is running into technical issues with the logo we sent them, which was exported from Indesign. Images were not embedded and fonts missing. I was able to embed the images and fonts. However, we DO NOT want them to be able to make any text changes. So after exporting an eps, I opened the file in Adobe Illustrator and made all the text outlines. I hope this works. But I just wanted to post the question on what are the best practices for doing this?
    The client needs the logo with transparent background, images emebdded and type in outlines. Also, they need some space around the text. When I exported the eps, the file is right up on the edge of the type.

    It sounds like you are pretty far from "best practice" with regard to logo design and delivery.
    These days, the very use of the EPS format should be considered bad practice, and some other terms in your post, (i.e., 'images,' 'missing fonts'), make it sound like there is not a seasoned logo designer involved.
    That said, you probably already got the advice you need to get out of the immediate jam. However, without proper logo design, you and the client will soon be facing other problems. You should be delivering a 100% vector graphic in single-color (black) and corporate-color(s) versions, with no live font data, that has been test-scaled to very small and very large sizes; ensuring it will work at postage-stamp size and on the side of a truck or building, with specific spot color(s) and proportions that will enable it to be offset printed, embroidered and screen-printed on apparel, and cut into signage materials and decals.

  • What's the best practice to upgrade 3GS from 3.1.2 to 4.2.1

    I was reading the thread which was very helpful:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2665989
    But there is a slight difference here with my situation:
    -- I'm planning to upgrade from 3.1.2 to 4.2.1, yet in that thread the guy was trying to upgrade from 4.1
    And recently a friend told me he had an error 1013 during upgrade. Google also mentioned another error code, 1015, related to upgrading to 4.2.1
    1. Does anyone know what exactly caused Error 1013 and 1015?
    2. what is the best practice to upgrade from 3.1.2? Upgrading to 4.1 first and then upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2.1? Will that eliminate the occurring of these itunes errors?
    *(Yes, I know apple has officially terminated supporting upgrading an iphone firmware to anything below 4.3. But can we just discuss my questions hypothetically?)*
    Thanks people.

    I can recon against LDAP and create the IDM user. But I cannot create AD acct in the same recon process. What is the best practice to do the above.

    i think you have to have a "Per-account Workflow" set which creates the user in AD.

    What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

    It depends on a various factors. There is no "generic" solution or best practice recommendation. Which migration tool are you planning to use?
    Quest (QMM) has a VPN migration solution/tool.
    ADMT - you can develop your own service based solution if required. I believe it was mentioned in my blog post.

  • What is the best practice in securing deployed source files

    hi guys,
    Just yesterday, I developed a simple image cropper using ajax
    and flash. After compiling the package, I notice the
    package/installer delivers the same exact source files as in
    developed to the installed folder.
    This doesnt concern me much at first, but coming to think of
    it. This question keeps coming out of my head.
    "What is the best practice in securing deployed source
    files?"
    How do we secure application installed source files from
    being tampered. Especially, when it comes to tampering of the
    source files after it's been installed. E.g. modifying spraydata.js
    files for example can be done easily with an editor.

    Hi,
    You could compute a SHA or MD5 hash of your source files on
    first run and save these hashes to EncryptedLocalStore.
    On startup, recompute and verify. (This, of course, fails to
    address when the main app's swf / swc / html itself is
    decompiled)

  • What is the best practice for inserting (unique) rows into a table containing key columns constraint where source may contain duplicate (already existing) rows?

    My final data table contains a two key columns unique key constraint.  I insert data into this table from a daily capture table (which also contains the two columns that make up the key in the final data table but are not constrained
    (not unique) in the daily capture table).  I don't want to insert rows from daily capture which already exists in final data table (based on the two key columns).  Currently, what I do is to select * into a #temp table from the join
    of daily capture and final data tables on these two key columns.  Then I delete the rows in the daily capture table which match the #temp table.  Then I insert the remaining rows from daily capture into the final data table. 
    Would it be possible to simplify this process by using an Instead Of trigger in the final table and just insert directly from the daily capture table?  How would this look?
    What is the best practice for inserting unique (new) rows and ignoring duplicate rows (rows that already exist in both the daily capture and final data tables) in my particular operation?

    Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
    to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for: 
    https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
    >> My final data table contains a two key columns unique key constraint. [unh? one two-column key or two one column keys? Sure wish you posted DDL] I insert data into this table from a daily capture table (which also contains the two columns that make
    up the key in the final data table but are not constrained (not unique) in the daily capture table). <<
    Then the "capture table" is not a table at all! Remember the fist day of your RDBMS class? A table has to have a key.  You need to fix this error. What ETL tool do you use? 
    >> I don't want to insert rows from daily capture which already exists in final data table (based on the two key columns). <<

  • What is the best practice to display info of completed task in process flow

    Hi all,
    I'm starting to study BPM modeling with CE7.1 EHP1. Thanks to the tutorial and example on SDN site and I can easily build my own process in NWDS and deploy to server, start it, finish it.
    I like the new runtime which can show a BPMN diagram to the processors. However, I can't find a way to let the follow up processor to review the task result completed in previous step. I'm more familiar with Guided Procedure, and know there is "Display Callable Object" which can used to show some info of a completed task when the processor/owner/admin/overseer click on a completed task.  Where is the feature in BPM ? What is the best practice to show such task information in BPM environment.
    For example, A multiple level approval process, the higher level approver need to know the comment written by the previous approver. Can he read this information from process flow ?
    I think it is very important feature for a BPM platform. In Guided Procedure, such requirement can be done with Display Callable Object + View Permission, and you just need some coding for the UI. If BPM is superior to GP, I think there must be a way to achieve this, I just do not know how ?
    Can anyone shed me some light on it ?

    Oliver,
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    Yes, Notes and Attachment CAN BE USED for the purpose. But I'm still looking for a more elegant solution.
    With the solution of using Notes/Attachment, the processor need to give input at two places : the task UI and Note/Attach , with similar or same data. It is really annoying.
    Is there any SAP BPM real-world deployment ? None of customer has the requirement ?

  • What is the best practice for full browser video to achieve the highest quality?

    I'd like to get your thoughts on the best way to deliver full-browser (scale to the size of the browser window) video. I'm skilled in the creation of the content but learning to make the most out of Flash CS5 and would love to hear what you would suggest.
    Most of the tutorials I can find on full browser/scalable video are for earlier versions of Flash; what is the best practice today? Best resolution/format for the video?
    If there is an Adobe guide to this I'm happy to eat humble pie if someone can redirect me to it; I'm using CS5 Production Premium.
    I like the full screen video effect they have on the "Sounds of pertussis" web-site; this is exactly what I'm trying to create but I'm not sure what is the best way to approach it - any hints/tips you can offer would be great?
    Thanks in advance!

    Use the little squares over your video to mask the quality. Sounds of Pertussis is not full screen video, but rather full stage. Which is easier to work with since all the controls and other assets stay on screen. You set up your html file to allow full screen. Then bring in your video (netstream or flvPlayback component) and scale that to the full size of your stage  (since in this case it's basically the background) . I made a quickie demo here. (The video is from a cheapo SD consumer camera, so pretty poor quality to start.)
    In AS3 is would look something like
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.display.Bitmap;
    import flash.display.BitmapData;
    import flash.ui.Mouse;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    // determine current stage size
    var sw:int = int(stage.stageWidth);
    var sh:int = int(stage.stageHeight);
    // load video
    var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    nc.connect(null);
    var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
    var vid:Video = new Video(656, 480); // size off video
    this.addChildAt(vid, 0);
    vid.attachNetStream(ns);
    //path to your video_file
    ns.play("content/GS.f4v"); 
    var netClient:Object = new Object();
    ns.client = netClient;
    // add listener for resizing of the stage so we can scale our assets
    stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
    stage.dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.RESIZE));
    function resizeHandler(e:Event = null):void
    // determine current stage size
        var sw:int = stage.stageWidth;
        var sh:int = stage.stageHeight;
    // scale video size depending on stage size
        vid.width = sw;
        vid.height = sh;
    // Don't scale video smaller than certain size
        if (vid.height < 480)
        vid.height = 480;
        if (vid.width < 656)
        vid.width = 656;
    // choose the smaller scale property (x or y) and match the other to it so the size is proportional;
        (vid.scaleX > vid.scaleY) ? vid.scaleY = vid.scaleX : vid.scaleX = vid.scaleY;
    // add event listener for full screen button
    fullScreenStage_mc.buttonMode = true;
    fullScreenStage_mc.mouseChildren = false;
    fullScreenStage_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goFullStage, false, 0, true);
    function goFullStage(event:MouseEvent):void
        //vid.fullScreenTakeOver = false; // keeps flvPlayer component from becoming full screen if you use it instead  
        if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
            stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
        else
            stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;

  • What is the Best practice for ceramic industry?

    Dear All;
    i would like to ask two questions:
    1- which manufacturing category (process or discrete) fit ceramic industry?
    2- what is the Best practice for ceramic industry?
    please note from the below link
    [https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000409682008E ]
    i recognized that ceramic industry is under category called building material which in turn under mill product and mining
    but there is no best practices for building material or even mill product and only fabricated meta and mining best practices is available.
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I understand that you refer to production of ceramic tiles. The solution for PP was process, with these setps: raw materials preparation (glazes and frits), dry pressing (I don't know extrusion process), glazing, firing (single fire), sorting and packing. In Spain, usually are All-in-one solutions (R/3 o ECC solutions). Perhaps the production of decors have fast firing and additional processes.
    In my opinion, the curiosity is in batch determination in SD, that you must determine in sales order because builders want that the order will be homogeneus in tone and caliber, and he/she can split the order in diferents deliveries. You must think that batch is tone (diferents colours in firing and so on) and in caliber.
    I hope this helps you
    Regards,
    Eduardo

  • What is the best practice for creating primary key on fact table?

    what is the best practice for primary key on fact table?
    1. Using composite key
    2. Create a surrogate key
    3. No primary key
    In document, i can only find "From a modeling standpoint, the primary key of the fact table is usually a composite key that is made up of all of its foreign keys."
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16579/logical.htm#i1006423
    I also found a relevant thread states that primary key on fact table is necessary.
    Primary Key on Fact Table.
    But, if no business requires the uniqueness of the records and there is no materilized view, do we still need primary key? is there any other bad affect if there is no primary key on fact table? and any benifits from not creating primary key?

    Well, natural combination of dimensions connected to the fact would be a natural primary key and it would be composite.
    Having an artificial PK might simplify things a bit.
    Having no PK leads to a major mess. Fact should represent a business transaction, or some general event. If you're loading data you want to be able to identify the records that are processed. Also without PK if you forget to make an unique key the access to this fact table will be slow. Plus, having no PK will mean that if you want to used different tools, like Data Modeller in Jbuilder or OWB insert / update functionality it won't function, since there's no PK. Defining a PK for every table is a good practice. Not defining PK is asking for a load of problems, from performance to functionality and data quality.

  • What's the best practice to manage the page file?

           
    We have one Hyper-v Server running windows 2012 R2 with 128 GB RAM and 2 drives (C and D). It setup Automatically manage page file size for all drives. What's the best practice to manage the page file?
    Bob Lin, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Install and Configure Windows, VMware, Virtualization and Cisco on http://www.HowToNetworking.com

    For Hyper-V systems, my general recommendation is to set the page file to 1-4 GB. This allows for a mini-dump should something happen. 99.99% of the time, Microsoft will be able to figure out the cause of the problem from the mini-dump. It does not make
    sense on a Hyper-V system to set aside enough space to capture all the memory on the system because only a very small portion of that memory is used by the parent partition. Most of the memory is under control of the individual VMs.
    Yes, I had one of the Hyper-V product group tell me that I should let Windows manage it.  A couple of times I saw space on my system disk disappear because the algorithm decided it wanted all the space for the page file.  Made it so I couldn't
    patch my systems.  Went back in and set the page file to 1-4 GB and have not had any issues since.

  • What is the best practice for AppleScript deployment on several machines?

    Hi,
    I am developing some AppleScripts for my colleagues at work and I don't want to visit each of them to deploy my AppleScript on their Macs.
    So, what is the best practice for AppleScript deployment on several machines?
    Is there an installer created by the Automator available?
    I would like to have something like an App to run which puts all my AppleScript relevant files into the right place onto a destination Mac.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    There's really no 'right place' to put applescripts.  folder action scripts nees to go in ~/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts (or /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts), anything you want to appear in the script menu needs to go in ~/Library/Scripts (or /Library/Scripts), script applications should probably go in the Applications folder, but otherwise scripts can be placed anywhere.  conventional places to put them are in ~/Library/Scripts or in a subfolder of ~/Library/Application Support if they are run by an application.  The more important issue is to make sure you generalize the scripts: use the path to command to get local paths rather than hard-coding them in, make sure you test to make sure applications or unic executables you call are present ont he machine, use script bundles rather tna scripts if you scripts have private resources.
    You can write a quick installer script if you want to make sure scripts go where you want them.  Skeleton verion looks like this:
    set scriptsFolder to path to scripts folder from user domain
    set scriptsToExport to path to resource "xxx.scpt" in directory "yyy"
    tell application "Finder"
      duplicate scriptsToExport to scriptsFolder with replacing
    end tell
    say "Scripts are installed"
    save this as a script application, then open the application pacckage and create a folder called "yyy" in the resources folder and copy your script "xxx.scpt" into it.  other people can run the app to install the script.
