A few questions about Adobe Flash

questions:
1.Can adobe flash use web services?
2.How does adobe flash handle the back button or bookmarks?
3.Can adobe flash interact with javascript on a page? Like
call a javascript function and pass it XML as a
parameter?
4.How does adobe flash handle asychronous post backs?
5.Can flash interact with cookies or store information on the
users computer which the flash file can interact
with?
6.Can a adobe flash file be created dynamicaly on the server,
so the flash file the user receives will be more
tailored to them? Or is the Flash file just a static compiled
file thats imported into the html? By this I
mean can the information and images and menus the flash file
will display be pulled from a database and
dynamically generated per user?
7.I've read somewhere a while back that google was trying to
make flash files serchabe so that they can be
listed on googles search engine. Is this an easy
implementation or can only professional flash programmers
accomplish this?
8.Whats the learning curve for learning adobe flash, if I
have many years experience in programming web
applications using html, css, vb.net, and javascript? Not
just learning actionscript but also learning how to
use Adobe flash to create full flash websites?
Okay, so thats more than a few questions :) Once I started
writing my first few I just couldn't stop. But please anyone who
can answer these would be of great help to me in deciding if I
should invest any time into adobe flash.
Thanks for your time,
Evan

>>1.Can adobe flash use web services?
Yes
2.How does adobe flash handle the back button or bookmarks?
It doesn't, but you can use SWFAddress to do just that. Works
great.
3.Can adobe flash interact with javascript on a page? Like
call a
javascript
function and pass it XML as a parameter?
Yes.
4.How does adobe flash handle asychronous post backs?
All net calls are asynchronous - you can use
LoadVars.sendAndLoad or
remoting... I like AMFPHP for remoting.
5.Can flash interact with cookies or store information on
the users
computer
which the flash file can interact with?
Yes - you can use a server-side language like PHP to set
cookies directly,
or use Flash's built in cookie like feature: The Shared
Object
6.Can a adobe flash file be created dynamicaly on the
server, so the flash
file the user receives will be more tailored to them? Or is
the Flash file
just a static compiled file thats imported into the html? By
this I mean
can the information and images and menus the flash file will
display be
pulled from a database and dynamically generated per user?
Entire flash sites can be dynamic - it's what I do... I use
PHP / AMFPHP and
MySQL to build dynamic flash content.
7.I've read somewhere a while back that google was trying to
make flash
files serchabe so that they can be listed on googles search
engine. Is
this an easy implementation or can only professional flash
programmers
accomplish this?
Easy is a relative term... the best way right now is to use
SWFObject
(Google for swfobject seo) - essentially you build an html
site inside the
Flash's <div> so the spiders will see the alternate
content.
8.Whats the learning curve for learning adobe flash, if I
have many years
experience in programming web applications using html, css,
vb.net, and
javascript? Not just learning actionscript but also learning
how to use
Adobe flash to create full flash websites?
If you have experience programming the curve will be
smaller... but there
are lots of elements to absorb. And no matter what, you
always have more to
learn.

I have a question about Adobe Flash Player.

I am wondering why the iPhone doesn't support the Adobe Flash Player. I tried downloading it onto my phone but it's not available?

Flash takes too much processors cycles and there is no cooling system on iOS devices.
That's really what it comes down too.
It's not Adobe's fault, Flash was designed for PC's and increasing processor capabilities not for new tiny Atom like processors enclosed in airtight case devices.
Flash runs fine on larger machines no sweat.

I have a question about Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Beta for Mobile.

Hi everyone. I'm newbie at forum , if I opened this topic to the wrong place ; please , excuse me I'm an HTC HD2 user. And I noticed that ; Flash 10.1 support to the Android OS had come to HTC Google Nexus One , with "Froyo" update. I watched some videos at Youtube , about "Open Screen Project" (that Adobe leads) . And Adrian Ludwig(at Flash team) was using HTC HD2 and showing the Flash 10.1 at phone. I'm thinking that , if he used Flash at HTC HD2 , then there must be a release for phone too. I'm not sure , it's very important for me. Thank you , for your answers. Have a nice day.

Whoops, my bad. Didn't note that HD2 is WinMo.
As I understand it (and I am just a consumer, not official in any way) - the intention is to get 10.1 on every device possible, including the iPlatform if Apple ever decides to change their mind (HA!).
As for the status of WinMo currently, I am not sure about that. I know 10.1 is being tested on Blackberry, Palm, and Android for sure, but I don't know what Microsoft has been up to, considering they have their own competing tech at stake here too...
If I had to take a guess (and it would be a guess) I would say that the highest probability is 10.1 on WinMo7 devices, though I have no information to back that up, its just a guess.

Easy Question about Adobe Flash Builder

Could someone please tell me why i cant call the function game.newgame ?
It does not recognize functions from another classes.
Sorry for my grammar , inglish is my second language
game = new Initgame

Yeah, this is the new 10.3. It installs a Preference Pane in Other in Sys Prefs. You can select a number of settings there. I basically allow it to do as little as possible, except for the update notification.
In storage, I would select "Block all sites from storing...." (That's the option to disable "Local Shared Objects," Adobe's cute euphemism for cookies. Until now, they have been hidden away in the Macromedia folder in your home folder>Library>Preferences where I've locked everything up, after trashing the Macromedia folder and getting a new one after visiting http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_man ager07.html)
I can give you instructions for doing that. Post back if you want them. Not sure how effective the new Pref Pane is, especially now that I see it reset the default of "Allow sites to save...." and all the defaults. Maybe it only sticks from an admin account and I recently started running from a standard account, while using an admin account solely for authentication. I will have to look into that.
Definitely turn off Camera and Mic. In Playback check "Block all sites...."

A few questions about how ZPM works.

We have patch management (in ZCM 11.2.2), but honestly don't use it much. I have a few questions about how it works that might make me use it more, if I understand it more.
If I deploy a patch (or a set of patches), it creates a bundle for that deployment. That bundle seems to include actions that deploy the actual patch bundles (correct?). Do I have to recreate a new deployment bundle every time I want to push a new patch? i.e. If I push a Java update, and a month later, a new one comes out, do I build out a new bundle with the new patch in it, or do I modify the old one?
Once the patch is deployed, can I safely delete that deployment bundle, or should they just pile up?
Is there a way to "auto-approve" patches? Lets say I always want a group of machines to have the latest Adobe Flash Player patches. Can I set up ZPM to automatically cache and push the latest patches for a specific product, or do I have to manually remediate each patch? (I'm thinking of how MS's WSUS does "auto-approval")
I see most packages aren't cached in list, but occasionally, a patch is cached without me touching it. Why? Can I change what gets automatically cached?
Thanks for any help/answers you can provide.

For #1, (assuming you're not using baselines), you would check the new version of the patch (vulnerability) and do a new deployment.
#2 - once you're satisified that the machines are deployed (or the best to your ability) you can delete the DEPLOYMENT package. It doesn't delete the actual vulnerability bundles to my knowledge. That's why it's a good idea to name your bundle deployments with something meaningful, IMO (and maybe include a nice desription).
#3 - currently I don't believe this is possible. I know you can probably configure it to auto-download the patches, but not auto-deploy everything. Given the propensity for software to wreck other things (hello MS .NET patches), this is probably not a good idea. At least I'd never auto-download and auto-deploy any patches without testing them first, and certainly take my servers a little more cautiously than my workstations.
#4 - I think you can configure what's cached, but I could be wrong.
I know there's a lot of improvements coming in the pipeline, and it doesn't hurt to "vote" for your enhancements via the enhancement system (more work for Shaun--haha)

A few questions about Patone colors

I have a few questions about patone colors since this is the first time I use them. I want to use them to create a letterhead and business cards in two colors.
1)
I do understand that the uncoated is more washed out than the coated patone colors. I heard that this is because the way paper absorbs the inkt. This is why the same inkt results in different colors on different paper (right?). My question is why is the patone uncoated black so much different than normal black (c=0 m=0 y=0 k=100) or rich black:
When I print a normal document with cmyk, I can get pretty dark black colors. Why is it that I cannot have that dark black color with patone colors? Even text documents printed on a cheap printer can get a darker color than the Patone color. It just looks way too grey for me.
2) For a first mockup, I want to print the patone colors as cmyk (since I put like 10 different colors on a page for fast comparison). I know that these cmyk colors differ from the patone colors and that I cannot get a 100% representation. But is there a way to convert patone to cmyk values?
I hope that some of you can help me out with my questions.
Thanks.

You can get Pantone's CMYK tints in Illustrator, (Swatches Panel > Open Swatch Library > Color Books > PANTONE+ Color Bridge Coated or Uncoated) but in my view, what's the point? If you're printing to a digital printer, just use RGB (HSB) or CMYK. Personally, I never use Pantone's CMYK so-called "equivalents."
Pantone colors are all mixed pigmented inks, many of which fluoresce beyond the gamut limits of RGB and especially CMYK. The original Pantone Matching System (PMS) was created for the printing industry. It outlined pigmented ink formulations for each of its colors.
Most digital printers (laser or inkjet) use CMYK. The CMYK color gamut is MUCH SMALLER than what many mixed inks, printed on either coated or uncoated papers can deliver. When you specify non-coated Pantone ink in AI, according to Pantone's conversion tables, AI tries to "approximate" what that color will look like on an uncoated sheet, using CMYK. -- In my opinion, this has little relevance to real-world conditions, and is to be avoided in most situations.
If your project is going to be printed on a printing press with spot Pantone inks, then by all means, use Pantone colors. But don't trust the screen colors; rather get a Pantone swatch book and look at the actual inks on both coated and uncoated papers, according to the stock you will use on the press.
With the printing industry rapidly dwindling in favor of the web and inkjet printers, Pantone has attempted to extend its relevance beyond the pull-date by publishing (in books and in software alliances, with such as Adobe) its old PMS inks, and their supposed LAB and CMYK equivalents. I say "supposed" because again, RGB monitors and CMYK inks can never be literally equivalent to many Pantone inks. But if you're going to print your project on a printing press, Pantone inks are still very relevant as "spot colors."
I also set my AI Preferences > Appearance of Black to both Display All Blacks Accurately, and Output All Blacks Accurately. The only exception to this might be when printing on a digital printer, where there should be no registration issues.
Rich black in AI is a screen phenomenon, unless in Prefs > Appearance of Black, you also specify "Output All Inks As Rich Black," -- something I would NEVER do if outputting for an actual printing press. I always set my blacks in AI to "Output All Blacks Acurately" when outputting for a press. If you fail to do this, then on the press you will see any minor registration problems, with C, M, and Y peeking out, especially around black type. UGH!
Good luck! :+)

Few questions about cs6

Hi
i have few questions about cs6
is there a way to let the ruler and straighten like cs5 ? i gave a look to my friend cs6 and cs6 ruler and straighten leave transparent image around the corner
and is there a way to set for each adjustament layer a size ? for example i like a big curve window but for example have a smaller level windows
thanks
cheers

mantralightroom wrote:
nope
The feature is there, where Christoph described it, though I would have liked it if they'd left an option for the Ruler Tool button to allow people to add "and crop" as well. But Adobe have confirmed they moved it out of there on purpose, presumably because new users would expect to crop their image using the Crop Tool, not the Ruler Tool.
mantralightroom wrote:
i would like to know if i can store the size of each dialog window
You MUST be talking about the Properties panel, where adjustment layer info is shown, because the dialogs you get when you do things like Image - Adjust - Levels or Image - Adjust - Curves is not resizeable in any way I can see. At least not on a PC.
No, there's no special option that allows dialog sizes to be saved separately. It's just one panel, and the size of the panel itself defines the size of the contents up to each of their max sizes.

How can I lodge a complaint about Adobe Flash Player?

How can I lodge a complaint about Adobe Flash Player? When I updated Adobe Flash Player this morning it also installed a McAfee scanning software without any warning or notification. I find this totally unacceptable. But I cannot find any information on the Adobe website that will allow me to lodge my complaint. Which I also find totally unacceptable.
Ho hum.

This is a an old complaint. I would have thoughtas much bad karma as Adobe has received would have stopped this practice espcially since it found that many time McAfeee either gets protection signatures wrong or cause more problems than it fixes.
I don't know whether mailto:[email protected] is still effective.
At one time a disgruntled Adobe products user created a FaceBook or twitter page. And many in past have claimed when there complaints got ignored or laughed at by Adobe. They suddenly got action whe airring their complaint on this FaceBook or Twitter page.
There should be a big warning Box stating:
Adobe is about to install a package Called McAfee on your computer. If you do not wish to instal click checkmark here.
Do you wish have Adobe install Products not requested on your computer yes__ or no__ please use a √
And to adhere to wishes of the customer.

Few questions about iPhone 4S

Hi,
Recently I got an iPhone 4S, it is my first new phone in a long time, before this I had an old nokia, so I just have a few questions about it.
I havve read a alot of horror stories about the 4S battery life, mine seems ok, here is what I would like to know
1) How long should a healthy battery last?
2) how long should it take to charge to 100% from 1 or 2%?
On my daily commute I use listen it to music and sometimes user twiiter/facebook. I also get alerted of emails when they come in. So far it has just about lasted just about two days maybe before I had to recharge. Is this about right? As stated above I am coming from an old nokia, which is very dated now but the battery lasted almost a week before I had to charge, so having to charge my phone this often is new to me. My iPhone is really great and I just don't want any problems. I have turned off all extras that I don't need.
BTW are the iPhone 4S battery issues a software or hardware issue?
Thanks

I attempted to read your post, but in amongst all the random, unrelated waffling, I couldn't actually find exactly what your iPhone related question for this "Using iPhone" forum was.
Would you like to clarify? Concisely.

Few questions about Lenovo G550

Hello, I plan to buy an inexpensive laptop, propably it will be a Lenovo G550L but I got few questions about this model. Here are my questions:
1. What 320GB hard disks are mounted inside G550L, Western Digital, Seagate or Hitachi (exact model if possible)?
2. How are the hinges of LCD screen in this model, cause they look pretty weak. Do they break easy, does anyone got any experience with this type of hinges which are "forward type" instead of normal?
2. I have noticed that there are two types of laptop chassis in this model one is matte black and another is grey glare. How to determine which model has which finish? Which finish got laptops with T4300, 3GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Intel IGP x4500, no card reader, no hdmi.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

my friend samsung any net, toshiba regza link, panasonic viera link is their special TM to support CEC
but just for their product not other products,for instance a samsung dvd player and a samsung lcd can sync easily with with hdmi cable
and in this case you dont need an extra remote control to control dvd besides tv.just with having a remote you can control both of them or the other audio visual products from that campany
please think???? how could you control your lenovo when it does not have a remote?
every device need to send signals to the remote not by just some wires like HDMI
lcd has a remote and a dvd player also has a remote and if those are from a unit company,they share a common signal with HDMI cable ,then you could control both of them with just one remote.
this can ease your work,as you dont need a lot of remote around your devices
but they should be from just a unit producer cause they uses different protocols
and of course they want to sell their various products and oblige you to buy other products from that producer to have the compability for having just one remote.

Few questions about recovery on P100-400

Good evening all,
I have a few questions about recovering my laptop...
So, I was thinking if the only way to clean my entire disk is to use the Recovery DVD?
I ask this because I think that the computer becomes too "heavy" with all the applications it came with. So I was wondering if I can format the Hard Drive instead of recover it.
If I format the drive do I loose warranty? Is there any future problem related to genuine software?
It's possible to install Windows XP Pro (and not the actual windows xp media center) with the original Operative system's product key?
Thank you.
Best Regards.

Hello
I will try to give you few answers and I hope it will help you.

I do not understand what you mean with I can format the Hard Drive instead of recover it but you can do follow: install OS using delivered recovery media and after doing this remove all applications you do not need. After doing this maybe your notebook will not be heavy anymore.
> If I format the drive do I loose warranty?
NO.
> Is there any future problem related to genuine software?
I do not know what you mean exactly
> It's possible to install Windows XP Pro (and not the actual windows xp media center) with the original Operative system's product key?
No. Something like this is not possible. Product key belongs to delivered and preinstalled OS.

Few questions about syncing

Hi,
I have a few questions about syncing. Since this is my first iphone and apple product, I'm not familliar with it. My mother bought the tomtom app for navigation. And she said that it has 3 uses (for 3 different devices). Now the app is in her library on her computer. So if i try to sync with her library, it will erase all my previous apps. How come? Also I'm planning to use a laptop in college so I'll have to sync it with that.
What should I do to keep my apps?

All 3rd party apps - paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the app. This is required by 3rd party app developers to prevent people from stealing from them with paid apps. If not for this, you could pay for and download the TomTom app which is not cheap and all your friends and family members with an iPhone could install the app on their iPhone without paying for it, which in effect is stealing.
There is no device limit for the number of iPods and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library on the same computer, but in regards to all iTunes content - music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.

Few questions about mac pro before buying

Hello all!
I may be buying a mac pro in a month or so and have a few questions about it.
1. ) Any one know when Apple may release the latest mac pro? Don't wanna buy some thing that'll be significantly obsolete in a few days
2. ) Is it possible to use SATA optical drives internally? I have a SATA blu ray drive I'd like to take from my PC, if that's possible.
3. ) Is it possible to get a graphics cards better than the 8800 GT for video games? (For use in OS X)
4. ) Finally, is there a significant performance difference between Apple's seemingly super expensive RAM and 3rd party RAM? (Other than the heat syncs)
Thanks for any replies.

1. We have no idea when Apple will release any product until it's released. This is a user-to-user site so we have no more information about future products than you do.
2. Yes, it's possible. There are two additional SATA ports on the motherboard.
3. The only graphic cards are those provided by Apple when you order the computer as well as the non-Apple supplied ATI HD-3870 Mac/PC card. The 8800 and 3870 have close performance specs. You can find some benchmarks at Bare Feats.
4. There's no difference between the RAM Apple installs and what you can purchase on the open market. As long as the RAM meets the required specifications and has the requisite heat sink it will work just fine.

Few questions about Calendar / SimpleDateFormat classes

Hi.
I have few questions about Calendar class:
1. How can I get only date representation (without the time)?
after doing:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
I tried to clear unecessary fields:
cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
cal.clear(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
But after printing the time, it seems that the HOUR was not cleared:
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println(sdf1.format(cal.getTime()));
---> 03/11/2004 17:00:00
Am I missing somthing?
2. I want to make sure that two different formats couldn't be compared. i.e., if I'll try to parse one String according to different format -- ParseException will be thrown.
String date = "19/04/2004 13:06:10";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date dateObj = sdf.parse(date);
However, even though that formats are different, no exception is thrown and the return Date is 19/04/2004 00:00:00.
How can I cause to exception to be thrown if formats are not identical?
Thanks in advanced

The Calendar class has a few of what Microsoft would call 'features'. :^)
To clear the time, call:
calendar.set(calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), calendar.get(Calendar.DAY), 0, 0, 0);
If you want 'pessimistic' rather than 'optimistic' date parsing, you have two options:
1) Call calendar.setLenient(false);
See if that is strict enough for your needs, otherwise:
2) Write code to ensure a stricter parsing of the string passed in. For example, you could very simply check the length of the string to determine if time data is also present.
When parsing, a string like '02/29/02' would parse to the date '03/01/02'. Setting lenient to false may fix this, but the surest way is to do some testing and then make the parsing more pessimistic where it suits your needs.

Few questions about upgrading database

Hi everyone,
greetings of the day
I have few questions about the upgrading database,
In export and import mode
1.can we have new name for the target database,
2.I think we need to create tablespaces ,do we need to create users as well
3.If we are upgrading from 9i to 10g database ,any activity to be perfromed other than creating a new sysaux tablespace
4.How come we get consistent export
In DBUA mode ( in the same machine only)
1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the database
2.How can we move the files to the new location
3.Can we change db_name of the database
4.Can we use the old database as well
In manual upgration using catupgrd scripts
1.Can we rename the db_name
2.can we use old database as well
3.how to move the database files to the new location
4.can we perform this kind of upgrade on a different server
5.when we startup upgrade in the new home ,how it identifies the old database in-order to upgrade the old one
Thanks

1.can we have new name for the target database,Yes.
2.I think we need to create tablespaces ,do we need to create users as wellYou can create users, but it is not necessary. You need to pre-create tablespaces only if their characteristics/locations on the target are different than on the source.
3.If we are upgrading from 9i to 10g database ,any activity to be perfromed other than thisNot that I am aware of - see the steps in the Upgrade Guide - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/expimp.htm
4.How come we get consistent export wetherEnsure the database is started in restricted mode, so users will not be able to access the database during the export.
>

1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the databaseNo - DBUA will do this automatically for you.
2.How can we move the files to the new locationYou can after the upgrade move the datafiles to wherever you want - use the ALTER DATABASE RENAME DATAFILE (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_1004.htm#i2082829) command.
3.Can we change db_name of the databaseI do not believe this is possible with DBUA.
4.Can we use the old database as wellNo - the database will be upgraded by DBUA - there is no "old" database.
