Does anybody know of a good flash book?

Hello, I'm very new to flash, and wanted to know if any of
you knew of a good tutorial/referance book for FLASH CS4 that I
could use to help teach myself flash.
Thanks!

Flash is one of the most versatile tools I know. You can use
Flash for
everything from TV cartoons (no programming at all), to
custom slideshows,
banners, and other Web eye candy (perhaps some programming),
to games, music
players, video players, and applications (potentially heavy
programming).
This means you can focus on quite a variety of disciplines,
so for
anyone to recommend a book, it will probably help to hear
more about the
projects you're interested in pursuing. There are books
specifically on
animation (cartoon or otherwise), on illustration, on making
applications,
on demoing (faking) applications, on programming in general,
and even on
extending the capabilities of the authoring tool.
If you're interested in a good general-purpose reference --
something to
give you a broad sense of the basics -- I'll go ahead and
mention the
friends of ED title I just co-authored with my buddy Tom
Green (not *that*
Tom Green, the other one). It's called "Foundation Flash CS4
for
Designers," and this new edition is nearly 700 pages. We
cover the work
space, the various drawing tools, text, audio, video, two
chapters on
animation, CSS, XML, the UI components, and more.
http://www.FoundationFlashCS4.com/
There's also a CS3 version, if you're using CS3:
http://www.FoundationFlashCS3.com/
Both of those websites link to the publisher, where you can
read sample
chapters, and Amazon.com sells both for around $25 apiece,
which is pretty
cheap. There aren't any reviews yet for the CS4 edition, but
the reviews
for our CS3 book are generally really good.

Anybody know of any good photo printers that will take card stock?

I work for a small print shop. We have a high end production color copier. But it doesn't produce "photo" quality prints. It's a color copier after all. What I'm looking for is a small desktop size probably color printer (probably inkjet) that will produce photo quality prints. The catch is, I'd like to be able to print on cardstock. 80# to be more accurate. Is there anything like that out there?
Its just that I want to be able to provide "photo quality" prints to our customers instead of the "kind of photo quality" that comes off of our copier. Thoughts? Ideas?

All decent ink-jet photo printers are designed to work with branded papers and branded ink cartridges, via branded drivers. These work together as a system, for best and most predictable results. I'd just call up a local printer sales outfit and ask if they have anything that will print on 80 lb. cover. If they have one, go see samples, and get materials prices, because the paper and ink isn't usually cheap, and refilled/off-brand ink and paper typically doesn't get you where you want to go, quality-wise.
Alternately, get an Epson or a Cannon or whatever (which print on less-than-80-lb cover), and also invest in a dry-mount press, for the "card" part of your adventure.
Good luck.

Does anybody know of a good microphone?

I have had a microphone for quite some time, but I want to upgrade. I play the saxophone, but a microphone that records well "all over" is what I'm looking for.
Any suggestions ?

Realistically, you'd be better of splitting your budget into 2 and buying 2 different mics. One mic simply will not cover all of your needs.
My suggestions:
Shure SM57: Works great on a lot of sources, including horns.
Studio Projects C1: It's a budget large diaphram condensor mic that'll be better for vocals, acoustic instruments and even as a room mic for your horns. Just be sure you have phantom power (48V) on your digital interface.

Anybody know any Good PCI Fans I can buy?

Hello All,
Does anybody know of any good and reliable PCI Fan Cards I can buy for my Power Mac G5? Im looking at this one here? Is It a good idea to buy or no? http://www.vantecusa.com/en/product/view_detail/101 I love my Vantec DDR SDRAM Heatsinks I bought 4 of them from Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835110105 They are awesome since my 4 1GB DDR Chips got very hot. Now I need one for my Graphics card. Thanks. Im still running my GeForce FX 5200. So I cant use any fans that run from the card itself. Thanks in advance.

Hi-
One like This is nice because it exhausts hot air, rather than just mixing it around inside the case.
When installed next to an AGP card, it helps pull heat off the card and quickly expels it.
Just stirring air around can disrupt the airflow of the case.
A dual fan PCI slot cooler like This has both exhaust and a movable fan for increasing spot cooling.

Anybody knows a good debugger?

Hi.
I am looking for a debugger to debug an applet. The applet is downloaded from a webserver(IIS) that run on the local machine. The files downloaded are a .jar file containing the applet and a number of other classes, and some .class files doenloaded on demand by Class.forName(str);. The .java source files are stored locally on disk. The applet is run in IE6 and Netscape6. A debugger for debugging the applet in appletviewer is naturally of no help. The debugger must be easy to use to make it easy and fast for me to get started. Anybody knows a tool like the one I am describing?

Thanks a lot for your response! (haven't got to many of them)
Well, forte has an applet debugger that works with appletviewer. Can you configure it to debug an applet that is running in IE or Netscape as well? I didn't figure out how to do that! Is it possible at all?
Regards,
Ragnvald.

Hi,
I had this problem on a Solaris 7 system. We fixed the problem by executing the db2profile script in the user's login script. The db2profile script can probably be found in the installation directory's sqllib directory. This script sets up several environment variables required by the DB2 client software.
Be advised that you must also comment any statements that deal with the IFS environment variable as this will replace certain characters in your PATH with ':'.
Good luck!

I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)

"I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
That was all I could put in the initial "box." Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.
Proceeding ...
After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.
Help ...
Running 8.0 on 5S
Thanks!

Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

Anybody know if adding more ram to an iSight iMac will speed up front row

Just got a 20" iSight iMac (love it) with the base ram but as most people seem to be experiencing, front row seems a little sluggish. Just wondered if anybody knows if sticking another gig of ram in it would improve front row performance?

The answer is absolutely yes. I ran with 512MB for a while and I noticed it seemed like I was getting PageIns every now and again. Sometimes quite often if iPhoto or other big apps were open. A pagein is like virtual memory in OS9. RAM has to be swapped to disk to free it up to do another task.
Check out Activity Monitor- it'll give you an idea of what's going on. Don't get me wrong MacOS X is very good at managing its resources. However disk paging is a slow reality.
I upgraded to a total of 1.5GB of RAM a while ago. The difference is nothing short of phenomenal. All the big pauses in FrontRow are gone (occasionally iTunes still has to fire up if it was closed...2-3 Sec). I leave iPhoto open all the time and everything is always snappy. Daskboard is another big beneficiary- it's way better. I think 1.5GB was a good choice because I still use it all every now and again- perhaps 2 PageIns/Day, but not often enough to notice. Even upgrading to a 1GB would certainly be a big help but remember if you don't benefit from 1.5GB now you will in a year.
Cheers, Ed.
P.S. Now is a great time to buy, prices have stabilized, find a good sale and buy today- you won't regret it. I paid $96 total including all tax and shipping for a 1GB stick.

Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?

Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?
I have a client who I create a report for every year. This year there seems to be a problem with the PDFs that I have exported when they are viewed in various web browsers. To elaborate, the type is rendering inconsistently – in Chrome the weight of the type is inconsistent (ranging from light to something more heavy) and in IE the type appears more condensed, and the x-height is variable.
To my knowledge Chrome, Firefox and IE are all affected in one way or another. The problem does not occur in Safari.
We always use Helvetica Neue and have never had problems like this before. I am using the same version of Helvetica Neue as I always use, but even when I change the font to Helvetica the problem still persists.
On a deadline so would appreciate some support here. Box of beer to the person who can provide me with a working solution!
Thanks kindly
Simon Winter

Hello Ellis. Thanks for your efforts in helping narrow down this issue, and for offering workarounds for Simon. Here are the steps I sent to Simon, enhanced by the info you provided above:
1. I typed some text in Id CC 2014.0 (Mac OS 10.9.4) using the system font Helvetica Neue Light at 12 pt. All defaults were on, including ligatures.
1.a. I used the text in Simon's example, “An Annual Report marks the end of a year’s work, but it is also an opportunity to reflect on the principles that” and reduced the text frame width so that it wrapped across 4 lines.
1.b. I also tried creating an all-page text frame and filling it with placeholder text (same font, same point size).
2. Export > Interactive PDF (or Static PDF: doesn’t make a difference), using all the default PDF export settings.
3. View resulting PDF in the latest Chrome (36.0.1985.143) on that same Mac, or on Windows, at various zoom levels, on a retina display as well as on a lower-dpi monitor. It looks fine to me: all words and lines have the same even "color" or weight.
In all cases, the fonts embedded in the PDF were listed as:
HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Ansi
HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType (CID)
Encoding: Identity-H
If you follow the above steps, can you repro the problem?

Its all good, TimN8128! Mrhelper is corret with regards to making sure that mobile data is turned off when on WiFi or when not connected to WiFi, if you do not want the phone to access data services to update or refresh app services. These applications can all be configured by going to Settings and reviewing all apps that appear in that area. You can also configure a bit further by going to Settings>Cellular.
