Any workarounds for the 2880 pixel size limit?

I have a client that would like a Flash animation that's 5440
pixels wide, to span 3 widescreen monitors for a tradeshow
presentation. Flash won't let me make the stage any bigger than
2880 - does anyone know any ways around that limit?
I Googled it and found out that you used to be able to scale
the SWF beyond 2880 in an HTML file, and it would show well using
Flash Player 7, but apparently that trick no longer works in
Players 8+.
Any other ways to make a single SWF that can span 3 large
monitors?
Thanks in advance,
- Frank

The problem here is the legacy flash document size constraint of 2880 x 2880 pixels. Why is this limitation still in place? Most screen have landscape orientation and we have this square constraint that turns out to be a waste if you are developing for larger screen displays and anything that is 4:3 or 16:9. Something does not add up here. What if someone needs to make a dual wide screen HD show that measured 3840 x 1080 pixels? We can do setup documents at 3840 x 1080 pixels in PowerPoint, PDF, Silverlight (at least this is what I have read regarding Silverlight), but not in Flash. Why not?
If Flash is a platform… then it needs to spread its wings a bit and embrace all the potential uses that are non-web. Flash represents multimedia delivery to millions, but shackling it to the 2880 x 2880 pixel limitation for a document size is problem for many people now and looming for those working toward have the flash engine as a core component in media delivery. At least give us a dual Wide screen monitor resolution of 3840 x 1080 pixels instead of a square of 2880 x 2880 pixels – which no one really uses (at least I have not seen any sqaure screens lately). Hey, if Adobe decided to shave off on the unused pixels from the 2880 height (2880 – 1080 = 1800) of the format you get an additional 1800 pixels that could applied where it is needed – to the width of the document size… giving us a 4680 x 1080 pixel document. This could then be used for immersive simulation, game situations, and real-world wide-screen experiences.
Sorry I don't have an answer, just the same question. "Any workarounds for the 2880 pixel size limit?"

Any workarounds for the X11 apps segmentation faults on intel with 10.4.8 ?

Hi,
We've an X11 application, compiled for PPC, which runs fine with a G5 iMac on 10.4.8. However, it crashes with a segmentation fault on a MacBook Pro with 10.4.8 (running through Rosetta).
Searching the web, we found that this seems to be a widespread problem for X11 apps running on Intel Macs with 10.4.8.
Has this been submitted as an important bug to Apple?
Are there any workarounds for it?
Is the problem specific to PPC-only builds, or does it also happen with Universal builds?
Thank you for any hints you could give about this,
cesar
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

A powerpc-binary program running under Rosetta can only load powerpc-binary modules...can't cross in and out of emulation within a single process. Perhaps your program is trying to load a module from X11 that is present as an intel-only binary? Rosetta is certainly no future-looking cure-all, just a stop-gap to allow one to keep using older stuff, and it is kinda fragile sometimes. If your target audience is both powerpc and intel machines, compile as a universal binary so it's native for everyone.

Is there any workaround for the brother driver 2.8 update which seems to remove duplexing

It seems the brother printer 2.8 update of 12/14 has removed the ability to print in a duplex mode - i.e. both sides of a sheet. Printing proceeds in the usual fashion and the printer goes through the mechanics to print both sides, but doesn't and outputs the remainder on a second sheet. It is definitely the update as I have another machine which I, thankfully, did not update and that works fine with the same printer.
I tried to go back in Time Machine, but it isn't obvious what to restore and, so far, my attempts to do haven't been successful.

After a bit of experimenting it turns out that somehow the update either defaults to a CUPS definition that causes this weird behavior or the old profile tigether with the update is problematic. It I download the current drivers at Brother and change to Brother HL-5250DN BR-Script 3 all is well.

Any workaround for - Like '%VALUE' to reference the index

Hi
I have an index on Col1 but it is not referenced because i am making like '%value'
EX:
where Col1 LIKE '%VALUE'
this is a business request to search %Value and not Value%
is there is any workaround for that ?
Thanks

Define working perfectly.
Just because it's using an index doesn't mean it's efficient.
One proper solution here is to create a function-based index to reverse the string.
You could use the undocumented, unsupported REVERSE function to test but as a proper implementation you should probably implement your own reversing function.
That way, instead of a leading wildcard, you end up with a trailing wildcard and you can use an appropriate index when suitable.
e.g. something like
CREATE INDEX i1 ON t1 (REVERSE(col1));
SELECT *
FROM t1
WHERE REVERSE(col1) LIKE REVERSE('%Value');

Solaris-x86 mount fat32 partition, the partition max size limit?

solaris10 x86, laptop, 10G FAT32 partition for windows & x86 exchange data.
the fat32 partition mount as normal, can be read fine.
but write some file by x86, that can not find by windows.
anyboy know did the solaris-x86 mount fat32 partition, the partition max size limit? or no limit, why this problem occur?

Mounting Windows partition in Solaris
The easiest way to share data now is to do it through a FAT32 partition. Solaris
recognises it as partition of type pcfs. It is specified as device:drive where drive is
either the DOS logical drive letter (c through z) or a drive number (1 through 24).
Drive letter c is equivalent to drive number 1 and represents the Primary DOS partition
on the disk; drive letters d through z are equivalent to drive numbers 2 through 24,
and represent DOS drives within the Extended DOS partition.Syntax is
mount -F pcfs device:drive /directroy-name
where directory name specifies the location where the file system is mounted.
To mount the first logical drive (d:) in the Extended DOS partition from an IDE hard
disk in the directory /d use
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:d /d
You can use mount directory-name after appending following line is in
/etc/vfstab file
device:drive directory-name pcfs no rw
for example
c0d0s0:c /c pcfs no rw
If your windows partition like the following means
C: - NTFS, D:-FAT32, E:-NTFS, F:-FAT32
Then you can only mount D, F not C & E.
Mounting D Drive:
mount -F pcfs /dev/disk/c0d0p0:c /mountpoint
Mounting F Drive
mount -F pcfs /dev/disk/c0d0p0:d /mountpoint
The driveletter only for fat not including other file systems (ntfs or any linux filesystems).

Anybody know how to increase the plugin file size limit in Photoshop CS6 to greater than 250 mb?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to increase the plugin file size limit in Photoshop CS6 to greater than 250 mb and how to do it? Can plugins running in PSCC handle larger file sizes than CS6?

Wow, thanks for getting back to me!!
I am running the latest version of HDR Soft Photomatix Tone Mapping Plug-In - Version 2.2 in Photoshop CS6 on a fully loaded solid state MacBook Air. When I attempt to process files exceeding 250 mb with the plugin I get an error message and the plugin will not work. The plugin works fine with anything south of 250 mb. I have also optimized the performance settings in CS6 for large file sizes.
The standalone version of HRD Soft’s Photomatix Pro easily processes files well in excess of 300 mb.
I have contacted Photomatix support and they say that 250megs is simply the max file size that Photoshop will allow to run a plugin with.
So is there any setting that I’m overlooking in Photoshop CS6 that will allow me to process these large files with the plugin? Or if there is indeed a file size limit for plugin processing in CS6 is the limit higher in CC?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Airport Extreme- anybody have a workaround for the lack of Wake on LAN ?

I've read in a number of places that the Airport Extreme (and other Apple routers) don't allow for the standard Wake on LAN packet to wake a sleeping Mac.
Does anybody know of a workaround for the Airport Extreme that might allow for waking a sleeping Mac on the LAN remotely ?
Thanks,
Ed

Better workaround for the whine problem

I have discovered a workaround for the commonly reported electronic whine in the MacBook Pro.
As most will know, if you open PhotoBooth and run it in the background it will get rid of the whine. I also noticed that the same worked in ANY application that uses the iSight.
So, looking around the Apple website for widgets I stumbled across this . . . .
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/webcams/mirror.html
It solves the problem!!!!! Runs in the background, in the Dashboard, takes up no resources also!!

Didn't read that whole thread on the issue did you?
It also kills your battery life.
The issue I don't believe is related to the CPU directly but is related to the overall power drain on the system..it seems anything that causes the system to use more power 'solves' the problem.

Looks like the Silicon Image drivers were moved to the incompatible software folder during install/upgrade.
Downloaded latest drivers, errored out of install claiming that the drivers were from an unknown author!!!
Emailed their tech support this evening describing problem.

"Adobe has found a solution or workaround for the recent crash in Adobe Flash CC" ...not really.

Hi guys,
My Flash CC crashes all the time, it's always been doing it since when I started using it on CS4, and I've somewhat given up on this bug being fixed, it crashes at least 20-30 times every document I create. I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen&Touch tablet and drawing a lot, I think the problem is that it can't handle this much drawing.
Anyways, it just crashed and for the first time after reopening I found this nice message from Flash:
"Adobe has found a solution or workaround for the recent crash in Adobe Flash CC.
Please click here for further details."
Excited, I clicked on it! At last, a solution! Amazing!
...but it just points to http://www.adobe.com/
... I don't understand.
What's happening? I'm genuinely puzzled.
Also, anybody else experiencing frequent crashes?
Thanks!
Ciao!

Yes, this is not good -- you're already mad when it crashes, then "We found a solution!" But, for me clicking on the link does nothing - no link even to adobe, just a tease - nothing opens.
It's bad enough crashing a couple times a day and losing work (I do save every chance I get), but then to get taunted with this bogus message, it's discouraging and exactly the best 'user experience' for a really expensive product from company that is all about helping professionals create good design/user experience ..
I like the way this is headed though! it just doesn't work right now.

Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords?

Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords? i.e. will Apple loops follow the chord progression in a track?

I found sort of a work around. I still have Logic Pro 9. It turns out that if you go into global tracks, analyze the chords then go back to logic pro x the chord progression is preserved. So the information is preserved there just seems no way to create it in X.

Workaround for the Fade/Appear blocky text problem in IE

Just wanted to share with folks a workaround for the IE
"blocky text" problem that you see when using Fade effects like the
one used in this example:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DetailRegionEffectsSample.html
It turns out if you set the 'background' CSS property on the
element you are fading, that IE properly renders the text. So to
fix the effects sample above, all you would have to do is modify
this CSS rule in the file to place a background color on the
description region to get things to look good in IE:
#description {
opacity: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
background: white;
So if folks have been avoiding the use of effects because it
makes things look terrible in IE, you now have a workaround.
--== Kin ==--

I was using spry's AppearFade effect to transition between
"slides" in what equates to a viewstack that I created.
Then I noticed that it would take bold text in IE and make it
look all smudgy or blurry.
Well, after working on it for a while, I got to thinking,
"This problem is specific to text rendered in MicroSofts
browser"... "Hmmm, I wonder".
So, I tried using this style rule: [ font-family:"MS Sans
Serif",Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; ].
Lo and behold, feed the stupid MS browser an MS font and it
does not blur the text.
I just wanted to get this our there. Because someone might
want to solve this in a way where they don't have to set a
background color...
