When do you think a preloader is necessary? How large should a swf file be to justify it?

I'm looking for opinions on preloaders. When do you use a preloader? How large must a swf file be before you to put a preloader in it? I am working on a small program that is 80kb in size right now and I'm not sure if I should add a preloader.

About 500kb, you should use a preloader.
Below? It depends on your file. If everything is on frame 1 , maybe it's better to use one.
You can test it with "Simulate Download" (Control - Test Scene -> View - Simulate Download)

I'm looking into buying a prepaid phone from verizon on the website..do you think prepaid is good? how is it different from contract?

right now i'm with sprint.i really hate sprint..there service isn't good at all.my contract is up in 2 months.so ive been buying phones from all these prepaid carriers and there service isnt reliable at all.i just buy them to see how there service are..i know it sounds dumb.so anyways that's why i come here...verizon is known for being reliable..so my point is,do you think i should go with verizon prepaid?are there prepaid services good? do you think its a good idea to go with verizon? i just need some advice cause i was gonna port my number from sprint to verizon..so i just need people's opinions..
i am done with 'contracts' so i wanna go prepaid..i dont feel like signing another contract...plus i travel so thats why im considering verizon.

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

I am using a WD external hard drive for backing up my laptop with Time Machine, but I have to do it manually. How do I know when it has finished the back up? How long should it take?

I am using an external WD hard drive for backing up my laptop. I have to do it manually, so I can't set Time Machine to just do it for me. How do I know when it is done backing up? How long should this take?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
tmutil compare -E
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

Firefox is not presently compatible with Google Tool Bar. When do you think this may be corrected. I use Google a lot.

Recently I updated my Firefox to 5.0. I did not know until after the loading that it is not compatible with Google Tool Bar. I use Google for many things. When might we expect that to be corrected, if at all?

Where did you read that Google was going to update the Google Toolbar for Firefox? <br />
http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html - that is the latest information I have seen.
Plus, recent changes at Google with them renaming their '''"accounts"''' domain will break all exiting Google Toolbar programs in existence. <br />

When do you think WD will release the next line of the MyCloud Business Series NAS?

The DL and EX series are only available since the past few months, so the answer is maybe a year from now, so get your DL now..

I'm needing to pick up another NAS for the downtown office, but...I'm debating if I should just get another DL4100 and/or just use my FreeNAS for the time being until WD comes out with their next line of the Business Series... How long do yall think before WD releases another model to their line up?

When do you think the new version is coming out?

I want to try Arch Linux but I usually install a distro a week or so before the new vesion comes out... just trying to avoid that happen this time around.

Thanks, but I don't have time to read over all of those pages.
Is the answer:
no one knows for sure, but odds are before Christmas?
or, there is no guess whatsoever?
I skimmed over those threads and read about some hardware detection issues that should be cleared up with the next release. I have a difficult to setup hardware issue. I need to wait for the next realease. I am merely trying to get a really rough idea of days, weeks, months or years.

HT1449 When moving your iTunes Media folder to an external drive should the itl file be moved during the organise library process too?

I have moved all of the iTunes data to the drive, but can't seem to find the .itl folder when trying to make external drive the location for my music for a new computer.
Can anyone please assist on letting me know where the .itl file would have been copied to or whether, if I copy the .itl folder separately, would it keep play counts and ratings?
Thanks

Many people confuse moving their media folder with moving their library. A library is everything inside the iTunes folder. Unless you have a specific reason for not wanting to move the entire library it is best to do that rather than just media.

If you move only media then the main library files remain on the computer. If you want to move the whole library:
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to choose a library, then select the copied iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

How low can you go? Or in fact how low should you gp to favour Windows?

I too have had a series of complaints by now from my Windows using corporate clients that my DSP4 DVD-R/+R disc do not play on their PC's (of course they run perfectly on any stand-alone DVD-player).
After some testing with different bit-rates it has become clear to me, that the default bitrates that DSP4 works with, are simply set at too high a level for Windows Media Player.
Yes, laugh about it, consider yourself very, very lucky to work on the Macintosh platform. But for me it's my bread and butter. DVD's I produce must run on PC's.
Now what I would simply like to know: what is the best (maximum) bit rate for MPEG2/DVD video that I can use for DVD's to play correctly on a Windows PC?
And/or does anyone know of any links to the (related) answers to my question?
G5 2.7 Mac OS X (10.4.5) FCP Studio

You're not the only one to make sandwiches out of this stuff! Unfortunately I doubt that there is a definitive answer to the problem. All I can say is that DVD-R is not a replicated disc and certain considerations about bitrate will help with compatibility.
If the client can play a replicated disc (i.e. from blockbuster) then the bitrate capabilities of WMP is not the issue -replicated discs are frequently encoded at 9MBPS. It is far more likely to be down to the differences in the two types of media. A DVD-R is less reflective than a replicated disc and this has an impact on how well the player can pick up the information from it. Additionally, faster burns on DVD-R have been repeatedly shown to be more susceptible to playback errors. Finally, the choice of media itself is a factor - some just work better than others.
What you cannot control is the range of different hard/software that the client will be using, and so all you can do is work to minimise the risks.
Encode at no more than 7.4MBPS for video when working with DVD-R. Use AC3 audio.
User good quality media - opinions differ as to which is actually the best or most compatible.
Burn slowly - if you can, use Toast (which gives you more control over the burn speed than DVDSP does).

Premier elements 10 taking up memory on my pc when i am editing onto external hard drive, how do i find these files

Hi I only had 15 GB of memory left on my pc. I started to edit files saving everything to an external hard drive, then the last one i attempted it wouldnt allow me to. It has eaten up all my memory and i cant find the files, can someone help me with this as im lost :-(
many thanx in advance

Hi Trubluru,
Launch Premiere Elements and open a project.
Click on edit>preferences>media and clean the cache.
Then check the free space on the hard disk.
Thanks

My MacPro syestem setup what do you think?

Two 3.0GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
8GB (8 x 1GB)
750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB, Stereo 3D (2 x dual-link DVI)
One 16x SuperDrive
Both Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and AirPort Extreme
30' cinema Display x2
This system anygood you think?
Any pointers on where i should spend money on such as maybe a stronger video card??
or you think
4GB (4 x 1GB) is more than enough?

If the ATI X1900 upgrade can drive two 30" then don't bother with the Quadro. You are not going to be using the specialized features of the quadro card for video editing (i.e. stereoscopic display, higher precision 3d rendering from the drivers). The quadro cards are manufactured at a higher quality standard than the general cards, but unless you are doing dental imaging or oil drilling, you don't need it.
Also, the memory in the Mac Pro works best when you use 4 sticks that are all matched. There's a performance decrease when memory is address further down the chain (which on the memory card risers are the secondary slots). Google to find analysis and discussion of the Mac Pro memory in various configurations. It's hard to say if you would notice this or not, but if I were pushing my system to drive two 30" monitors and running full screen video editing software, I would be looking to minimize any possible bottlenecks. My argument could be completely wrong here if there's higher latency, but increased bandwidth in the 8x1GB config. Research it and decide.
With an appropriate hard drive setup (RAID with block sizes) your proposed system will edit video like a hot knife through butter. These machines are very fast and have an amazing amount of bandwidth on the bus through the processor and memory. Once you get it setup the hardware fades into the background and you don't notice it, because it's so fast it doesn't get in the way of getting work done. Good luck.

My Ipod plug into stereo, some how the stereo not work and burn the battery, its make my ipod can't turn on at all, if I need to repair it how much its cost, do you think?

Hi, I put my Ipod into the stereo, some how the power of the stereo burned out & make my ipod not work anymore. If I plug my ipod into computer its not on and the battery feel very hot, so if I send it out to fix, how much do you think its cost? And how do I check online to see what generation I was bought? I bought it online with Apple. Thanks.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What do you think about the iMac Intel 17"

I wonder if there is a big difference between the iMac 17" 1.83 Ghz (from 999$) and the iMac 17" with 2 Ghz (from 1199$). One of them includes apple remote, 1Go SDRAM and a superdrive DVD writer for 200$ more than the other. I'd like to know what you think about the iMac 1.83Ghz 999$, should i wait and choose the 2Ghz model ?

I checked out both models, and I think the 2.0 Ghz is actually a much better deal. OS X is amazing but its very graphics intensive and uses a lot of memory. The included video card in the 2 ghz machine helps a lot. Furthermore, the ability to write DVDs makes it fast and easy to archive your data for backup and portability. I would strongly recommend the upgraded system, unless your intended uses don't include much video/audio application. If you are going to be playing around with a lot of music or movies, the upgraded graphics, memory, and processor speed will really help.

Problem with music in swf file when loading site to server

Hello,
I am a newbie to Flash and have an swf file I created for a
website,
http://www.kanzamancleveland.com.
I have a button there that turns the music on/off when the site
loads. I also put some music into the swf file, but instead of
putting it directly in the swf file, I am calling it from the
actionscript code in the swf file. I want it to stream when the
site loads and start loading/playing after the site loads. The code
is embedded in the on/off button. Now this code works when the swf
file is on my local hard-drive, but when I put it on the server
with the rest of the website, it doesn't work. Any ideas?
Here is the code:
import fl.motion.Keyframe;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var _sound:Sound;
var _channel:SoundChannel;
var _playing:Boolean = false;
var _position:int;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("lowsaaloony.mp3");
var buffer:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(5000);
_sound = new Sound( );
_sound.load(request, buffer);
_channel = _sound.play( );
_playing = true;
offbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onPlayPause);
function onPlayPause(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (_playing) {
_position = _channel.position;
_channel.stop( );
} else {
_channel = _sound.play(_position);
_playing = !_playing;
gotoAndPlay(2);
stop();
I put the code together going from various Flash help
websites, and it works when everything is on my local hd, but again
as I mentioned before, when I put it up on the server, the music
doesn't play. I contacted the hosting company and they said that
they do allow streaming music on a website using Flash. Any help on
what I am doing wrong, or what else I need to do would be highly
appreciated. Thank you.

Hi. It looks like your code is not finding the mp3. At least,
I can reproduce your error code by removing the mp3 from the
directory, or renaming it.
Btw, if you test with FF instead of IE, you'd see the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032:
Stream Error.

Hope that helps.

DIV tags disappear when put over swf file background

I am working on a site which has a swf movie as a background
which fills the browser window(SWFobject). When I place DIV tags,
which reference a CSS id and contain swf files as well, over the
top (for absolute positioning, etc.) they disappear when previewed
in a browser . Is there a reason that the swfobject always takes on
top position in the browser? Do I need to change something in the
SWFoject javascript file, in the code or within either the CSS file
or the dreamweaver HTML code? Here is a link to a site that is very
similar to what I am working on.
http://www.pronghornclub.com
Any help would be most appreciated.

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
properly!).

Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon"? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of

Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon" without you adding it? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of this?

Credit card and debit card and checking and savings information is encrypted so it is possible to be hacked, but the odds are greater to get hit by the Love Boat then to have a wide scale hack.
Oh yes they do happen, Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, Target and quite a few others. But in all the years I have paid my invoice with saved card information I never been hacked.
You use good passwords and the risk is minimal.
Good Luck
