Another FLV Question

Hoping someone can help. And have searched alot of forums to no avail. Have got flash CS3 installed and so have the quicktime export components for compressor so I can export an flv. When I do, great, I can view the file in adobe media player but not in flash player 9. Tried sticking it on a webpage and navigated to the site and....blank screen. On a couple of sites ( creative cow) I found someone else with this problem and they were told that flash player only plays swfs and you have to take the flv into flash and export an swf. Yet I look up flv on wikipedia and it says this "Flash Video is a file format used to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player ". Now I'm totally confused. Can someone tell me how I can use compressor, export and FLV, so I can put it on a webpage an view it. I understand yiu tube uses flv's and I can see those movies just fine.

Ask in Adobe forums and don't even mention Compressor. To see/play a FLV movie in a browser you need to build a "player", what means using the FLV in a Flash project, add the player component and then, use the resulting SWF file (besides the original FLV) in the web page.
AFAIK you cannot just add a FLV movie to a web page ... and then egain, is not related with the way you generate the FLV. It's a web design matter.
Hope that helps !

Play another flv file in between a flv file

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to play another flv file in between
a flv file. Say, I play flv A for 10 seconds then play flv B and
then resume back to flv A where it just stopped.
Is it possible to do this and roughly how to do it?
Thanks!

No it can't, you need SWF to load the file within.

Another newb question: multiple virtual servers

Hi, I have yet another ignorant question. I have several unrelated web projects that I am working on, and I would like to be able to set up a virtual server for each one for testing purposes, such as: http://project1, http://project2, http://project3. Can someone tell me if this is doable, and if there are any tutorials/resources on this for someone who has 0 experience running a web serer? Sorry for being so ignorant!

Yes, it is doable.
You can setup virtual server either by IP or by name.
If you have one IP, and want to set them up by name (ex. http://project1, http://project2, http://project3) you can do so easily with this type of configuration:
<virtual-server>
    <name>mydomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.mydomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/domain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
<virtual-server>
    <name>myotherdomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.myotherdomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/myotherdomain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
....The important part here is that
a) all virtual servers share the same HTTP listener
b) which virtual server serves the request depends on the $HOST request header send by the client. Sun Web Server does the matching for you. It will match $HOST vs. the virtual server's host attribute. Depending on which site you connect to the right virtual server will be used.
c) if the $HOST request header does not match any of the virtual servers, then the default virtual server defined in the HTTP listener will be used.
To create a virtual server, use the Admin GUI, access the configuration, and then add new virtual server. Or use the following CLI command.
wadm> create-virtual-server --config=myconfig --http-listener-name=http-listener-1 --document-root=/www/docs/myserver.com --host-pattern=myserver.com --log-file=../logs/myserver.com-error_logs myserverHost pattern will be used for matching. Some of this elements might be optional.
Hope that helps. And keep the questions coming :D

Which of the following objects can be filtered in the query definition?
A. characteristic
B. Key figure
C. Structure

HI
1.The answer could be A,B,D.you can not apply filters on hierarchies
2.Whenever there is a change in Attribute data(like Location,Num etc...)that has to be reflected in all aggregates of the cube.Thsi can be done by running "ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN".

Yet another standby question...

Hi gurus,
Please help to resolve the quiz. I have completed manual physical standby installation. It is up and running. I then decided to install Grid Control and to use Data Guard for the standby creation. I've successfully installed GC, deployed all agents, I can see my previous standbys, life is good in short. Now, when I am trying to create the second standby for my production database using the Data Guard I stuck on a logical question:
On the step 3 of Data Guard standby creation, there is a note, saying:
The instance name (also referred to as the SID) must be unique on the standby host.
Yeah, fair enough. But i can't understand what should I do next? I have:
db_name YELLOW - primary prod
db_name YELLOW - standby prod 1st
and i need db_name YELLOW - standby 2nd
But I can't create it on the same server where the first standby resides.. What options do I have? Do I need to create the second standby on another server? Do I need to kill 1st standby? Is there any way to avoid this conflict? I am confused. I have no equipment for TWO standby servers... I thought I can install there up to 9 standbys.. But it seems to be a problem.. And definitely, I cannot give my second standby other name than YELLOW as all my applications are strongly tied on db_name...
Friends, please clarify this if you can. I am kinda lost in here..
Thanks as usual,
Maria

well, that's a good question! :)
because I don't have spare server for the standby. the question is not about: 'should I or should not put more than one standbys in one server' , but more about: 'is there any way to put two standbys with the identical db_names in one server'. I know that I probably sound unprofessional, but I just wanna know.. If the answer is 'no way', I will kill the first standby then and recreate the second one using DG with the correct name.
Thanks for writing to me,
M.

Re: another build question! (sorry lol)

Hi all
right, after days and days of researching all the excellent articles on here ive had to write a post! So apologies for going over old ground
Im going to build a new CS5.5 rig (having had a guts full of Apple and their FCPX fiasco its back to pc!)
so although i appreciate the 990x o'c is prob best option, bang for buck is leading me down the sandybridge i7 2600k o'c option on p67 mobo with 16gb of ram (option to take to 32 down the line when the chips are out)
anyway, im sorted on chip mobo (msi big bang marshal p67), nivida 570 etc , its the drives im struggling on!! Im edit avchd video and some after effects, small amount of 3d, and in FCP i always transcoded everything to prores. Now on cs5.5 it looks like real time performance is possible with high end hardwear.
So mobo, ram, and chip aside, my HDD config im unsure on, ive not really got the cash to go crazy with raid controllors etc, but understand need for seperate drives, etc and tbh might even go downt he cineform route as a prores alternative (prob avoiding hassles of drive speed with avchd)
im thinking as the SSD's are now dropping in price and the ocz are producing these 500 mb r/w speed sata 6 120gb drives for a reasonable price, would 3 of these drives (one for os, one for media , one for scracth disk ) be a good set up or is it a waste of cash and should i raid 0 from bios/mobo?
I appreicate that 120 gb drives for media etc are small, but i would take project media from another much large backup drive and just use the 3x ssd set up as working disks for editing & os? once project over, clear out drives to larger back up and start new project!
Its either that or i go SSD as bootdrive, but some sort of cheap raid set up for my scratch disk, media drives? prob is if i do that, from what ive read (brain dead now) i would be best off with 2 x raid 0 as scratch disk and orginal media respectively when workign with avchd
HOWEVER, on my mobo there are only 4 sata 6 ports, so if i use one for ssd boot drive, and then im left with 3 x sata 6 ports and another 4 x sata 3 ports to raid on? how does this work? any point in getting the sata 6 drives as one would be stripped with a sata 6 drive plugged into a sata 3 port (this was my reasoning behind using 3 small sata 6 ssd's plugged to the sata 6 ports and rest of sata 3 ports as storage and backups!
confused lol!! I just want the overclocked sandybridge system with decent gpu card, as much ram as possible at present, but im thinking my bottleneck will be in the HDD config! any suggestions are much appreicated! im not that techy so whilst have read all the articles am more confused now (plus normally a mac user, so its out of the box configuration usually!) for what its worth looking to purchase something from scan uk in terms of parts! total build cost including a reasonable screen £2,000
many thanks

You have a limited budget, especially in the UK, but then don't we all?
Going for the 980X will triple the cost of the CPU, but even when editing AVCHD material the gains are not sizable enough IMO to justify that cost differential. Add to that you will need 24 GB instead of 16 GB and that carries an additional price tag. Both factors will easily move you out of budget range if you want to have a number of disks and possibly a raid controller.
Did you read my article To Raid or not to Raid, that is the question. It can be found under the Overview tab at the top of the page? (Currently responding from abroad on my notebook and not having the bookmarks available for easy linking). http://forums.adobe.com/thread/525263
With media and projects I would advise against a raid0, because of the lack of redundancy. For pagefile, media cache and previews (scratch disks) raid0 is quite OK. They will be recreated if needed. The performance gain from a raid0 for media and projects over a parity raid is easily offset by the time spent on making backups. For parity raids do not use WD Caviar Blacks, but look at the Hitachi 7K3000 line of disks.
The question of Sandy Bridge versus the old X58 platform is essentially one of 'which limitations are acceptable to me'.
The Sandy Bridge is a great processor and at least the equal to the old i7-9xx quad cores. However, the platform, the chipset, has its shortcomings in terms of PCIe lanes. Whether that is relevant to you, only you can decide. But hey, we would be in serious trouble if Intel did not manage some progress in two years time from the i7-920 to the i7-2600K. So of course the i7-2600K shows much more potential than the almost retired 920, it is the chipset for the Sandy Bridge that is 'flawed' in comparison to the X58, but that is no surprise, since the Sandy Bridge is a 'middle-of-the-road' platform and the X58 was a 'high performance' platform.
BFTB-wise I think that within your budget limits, you should look at the i7-2600K, but with the best disk setup you can afford.

Another Noobie question - readLine()

Hi all
This is another one of the extreme noob questions. I wrote a small program to read form a text file
    String NetworkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while (in.readLine() != null){
            NetworkLine = in.readLine();
            System.out.println(NetworkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }My Test.txt is
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
without the *
The output I get is
Two
Four
Six
I cannot figure out why only even no. lines are being read. I inserted a breakpoint at the line
          System.out.println(NetworkLine);This shows me that only even no. lines are being read by readLine(). Any help will be appreaciated.
Thanks
Ayesha

    String NetworkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while (in.readLine() != null){ // <-- This reads a line, checks it for null ,and drops it
            NetworkLine = in.readLine(); // <-- this reads the next line
            System.out.println(NetworkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }So the upshot is that you print every other line.
Corrected:
    String networkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while ((networkLine = in.readLine()) != null){
            System.out.println(networkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Another beginner question about targeting functions

I've read what I thought was an excellent thread about scope in EA, but I'm still not getting some of the basics (btw the thread was http://forums.adobe.com/message/5287753#5287753).
I have "slides" in the symbol library and in the main composition compositionReady script I've set up a generic script for playing back sound. That script works fine when I bind it within the compositionReady script to a symbol and click, so I know the funciton itself is fine. My question, I'm programmatically loading the slides from the library as I go along and want to use the generic function I created in the compositionReady script, but I can't seem to create the proper syntax to call the script. Here's some that I have tried. What is the correct syntax? The script is on frame inside the slide symbol.
//sym.getComposition().getStage().playSound();
//sym.getComposition().playSound();
//Edge.getComposition("CER_1").playSound();

Thanks for having a look. Yea, it's getting to the script fine but it doesn't like the syntax. Console always indicates javascript error, which is what happens when Edge throws an exception because it doesn't know what to do. The article that Elaine posted on above gives me the sense that it might be best to change the function to a variable, then it would be in scope to call but I have parameters I'd like to pass with it and I don't think I can pass a parameter with to a variabalized (word?) function. I know it's just me moving from ActionScript to Edge JavaScript and scope. Whereas I could always find a homebase in ActionScript with the stage, it seems that the stage in Edge is just another symbol and calling a function within the stage is never getting there. Elaine hints at putting outside the stage closure and it would be accessible, which, of course, has led me to start readying JavaScript books and learning more about scope etc. It seems like that is life as a developer. I dont' get that, oh, better take a day or two to understand that concept, oh, that function works now, next problem. ;-)

Flash will not publish + FLV question

Hello,
I am currently building a game in Flash CS4, but am stuck due to a Flash problem. I have searched the forums for a sollution, but have yet to find one.
The Problem:
Adobe Flash will not export, or publish my .FLA file, nor will it create a .SWF at the chosen destination under the publish settings. Whenever I try to export/publish my .FLA, the export/publish pop-up window opens, and the progress bar runs all the way through. Once that is done, the window which normally appears immediately afterwards, in order to test the flash, does not appear.
Furthermore, Flash seems to have deleted the .SWF, and any other files I wish to publish the moment the publish/export process is completed.
The strange thing about this problem is that I may be lucky and have Flash actually export and publish correctly on its first go. However, when I try again, it won’t publish/export until I restart flash.
This problem happened on three separate windows machines (Vista and 7) under both Flash CS4 and CS5.
Note:
I have discovered that this problem may be related to the many embedded FLV video clips I have created for the game’s character animations (6+ characters with 30 very short animations each).
These animations were rendered in a 3D CG software, which were then edited in Adobe After Effects, and exported as .FLVs for use in Flash.
Oddly enough, once I’ve deleted all the embedded FLV clips from the library, Flash will once again publish and export. This is not an acceptable solution to my problem, however. I already searched for any corrupted FLV files, but could not find any.
My questions are:
1. What can I do to make Flash publish/export once again, while having my embedded .FLV clips within the library? Is there something I am over-looking, or any settings I must change in Flash?
2. Which settings (in Adobe After Effects) are best to export .FLVs for use in flash?
3. If I cannot use FLVs, what other options do I have, in order to use my CG animations in Flash? I tried PNG sequences, but Flash complains about low memory, and crashes (FLVs were working great up until now).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I've also experienced problems with the Publish process dropping out and failing to complete - no error messages in the Output pane or Compiler errors, just a total hang of the Publish status bar (and no published files...).
I can't say I've pinpointed the exact cause of this, but it may be related to having all objects on the Stage locked (possibly when they are not placed in the main canvas area).
Adding a new layer and creating a new object seems to help. If the publish process (including TestScene) has stalled, restart Flash and reload the movie...
Hope that helps! It's kinda scary watching that Publish bar disappear into nothingness when you've got literally hours/minutes/seconds left to get the thing built and running :-)

hi,
I read an excel file like this:

SET PROPERTY OF gv_excel 'VISIBLE' = 0.
CALL METHOD OF gv_excel 'Workbooks' = gv_books.
CALL METHOD OF gv_books 'Open'
    EXPORTING
      #1 = p_file
      #2 = 1.
FREE OBJECT gv_cell.
FREE OBJECT gv_excel.
FREE OBJECT gv_books.
FREE OBJECT gv_sheet.
CALL METHOD OF gv_excel 'QUIT'.
the question is, why the excel process is not kill in the task manager?

Hi ,
i think Rich is right.
another problem could be if you've used an object to
save your data:
like :
CALL METHOD OF H_EXCEL 'Save' = h_save.
so you've to free this too:
FREE OBJECT H_save.

Windows 7 Another Preorder Question :)

Ok bestbuy.com has taken out the 108$ deposit and now the order is confirmed so does
bestbuy.com hold the Funds and use them when it ships or can i use the 108$ for something
else now since the order is done and i Can just put another 108$ in there for them to take it
out on 10/22/09 the release date or when it ships
i need to know if i can do this thanks

Well you can purchase either an upgrade or a full copy. Difference is, one has to be upgraded from a previous operating system (XP or Vista) and the other can do a clean install without the need to have a previous operating system. The Windows 7 Upgrade program provides you with an upgrade copy of Windows 7.

ANOTHER formats question...

I've been using Streamclip to convert mpeg2's to Quicktime. I've experimented with Apple MPEG4 and Sorenson 3. Not the jpeg format so much.
My question: which is the best format for keeping the file size about the same and losing the least video quality? These files are for multiple purposes. Some will be used on the internet and others will find their way onto dvds.
Is the option from streamclip to DV good for Final Cut and Quicktime?
I realize the short answer to my question is that it totally depends on what I want the file for. But what I'm really looking for is a primer on the diff between Sorenson, MP4, JPEG-A(B)....etc.
I'm moving toward using h.264 for everything, but not everyone has qt7 - you know?

My question: which is the best format for keeping the file size about the same and losing the least video quality? These files are for multiple purposes. Some will be used on the internet and others will find their way onto dvds.
Everybody has their own picks. However, you might also want to consider the fact that not everybody has upgraded to latest QuickTime Player.
My general pick would be Sorenson Video 3 for general purposes. Sorenson Video 3 performed better (in terms of quality) then MPEG 4 when you limit the bitrate to some small number (i.e. small filesize). As for DVDs, you might want to export in another format for it.
Is the option from streamclip to DV good for Final Cut and Quicktime?
It is, assume the original file is good quality.
But what I'm really looking for is a primer on the diff between Sorenson, MP4, JPEG-A(B)....etc.
I made this page awhile back, you might find it useful.

Another resolution question.....sorry

Thanks to Zac and Bogie for helping me out with the whole resolution questions but I do have one more....sorry. Do I need to log and capture in FCP in order to import the file into compressor to change the codec or is there another way? Maybe direct from the camera so it doesn;t get any more compressed than it is?
Thanks again for putting up with me
Rick

If you shot on DV, for example, capturing it isn't compressing more. It is what it is. You shot it DV, it is DV. What's on the tape isn't "better" than what gets captured to your hard drive.
Anyway, yes, you have to capture or ingest the footage or have some sort of existing movie file to put it into Compressor. You can't take it from the camera directly.

Another 5GHz question

I have an older Extreme, not Simultaneous, that is upstairs and an iPad that lives downstairs with an old iBook G4. The iBook doesn't have much problem with its 802.11G connection over 2.4 GHz but the iPad is often weak. I'm thinking of getting a new Extreme so I can run both Bands. I'm also hoping the newer antenna will cover the house better. Going out on the deck with the iPad is almost impossible.
Question is - if coverage is still spotty can I use the old Extreme to extend the network and pick which Band for it to extend?
Thanks for any info.

+It's the square version; does both bands, just not simultaneous. I already have Ethernet down to my Entertainment Center so my plan was to relocate the older Extreme down there. But now, as I think about it, would I actually be setting up another wireless network?+
Ethernet will work much better to connect the Extremes together. Technically, you would be setting up another wireless network...but, if you configure this network with exactly the same wireless network name, security and password, then you will in effect, have a much larger wireless network. Computers and devices can "roam" from one area to another and stay on the same network. For this to occur, the older Extreme will need to be configured as a "bridge".
+Would that work; wire the two Extremes together and have the newer broadcast from both bands and the older put out just 5GHz+
Yes, you could try 5 GHz on the older Extreme to see if that provides the coverage you need. Keep in mind that you may need to use 2.4 GHz on this device because this signal is stronger and penetrates obstructions much more effectively than 5 GHz, which is more of a line-of-sight deal.
Post back if you need step by step to configure the older Extreme. It's a bit tricky and users get confused easily here. One of the reasons for this is that you do not use the "extend a wireless network" setting, as you might think.
