Basic swf & layers question

If i make a swf of a dot at center stage and publish it, then
add it to a layer in DW, it shows up as a grayed out box blocking
whats underneath making it difficult to work on whats underneath,
also much larger than the actual movie needs to be.
1. Can I Do anything about the grey to view whats underneath?
2. Can I crop the movie so that the layer is smaller only
showing the area of interest?
Thanks

hard to understand - this may just be a DW question.
What "gray box"? is it a rectangular graphic in your flash
doc or the stage color? Or are you
looking at it in the DW authoring tool?
You can't "crop" flash movies - but rather you can edit the
width and height in the html (or DW)
after it has been embedded into the page.
If you must "crop" - go back to source FLA and edit the width
and height of your movie - but flash
only "crops" from right and bottom edges of the stage - so if
your circle needs to be center - then
you will need to use the align panel to center it again.

Basic Hyperion Workspace question

Is there any way to Drill-Down to data by double-clicking on the chart item in Hyperion Workspace? I can do this in Hyperion Reporting Studio.

hi all,Hi Neerav
I have very basic clone database question
If i create database A and clone database B using A...
I want to know that any operation done on A will be automatically done on Cloned database B.Oops....Now you're asking about rocket science. Sorry, I don't know.
I know about some basics:
Streams or Replication--> Which can give you data on B in read-write mode.
DR--> For safeguarding your database and B will work as DR solution.
Hope u understandNo, please make us understand.

Basic recording/feedback question

I'm recording basic vocals against accompaniment tracks using an APOGEE ONE and Audio-Technica 40 series AT8449 condenser mic. I use only headphones, no external speakers.
If I record with "monitoring" on I constantly battle feedback/distortion, especially on songs with a wide dynamic range. When the feedback protection kicks in the message indicates that I'm getting feedback through my external speakers (which I don't have), I can minimize the problem by turning "monitoring" off but I lose the reference vocal. I know I must be overlooking something very simple. Any help is appreciated.

Basic PDF/SSL Question

Okay, I know this is a basic question, and I'm not sure if this is really where I should be posting it, but maybe someone out there has experience with this.
I have a PDF form sitting on a secure server. I have it set up to email the completed PDF back to our company when the user clicks the SUBMIT buttton. Whether or not the PDF is secure coming back to us would be dependent on the email server the user uses - not that the form sits in a secure area on our server or that the PDF is security settings are set, correct?
Any input appreciated.
Thanks

Basic wifi service question

basic wifi service question
A Windows-using friend of mine subscribes to a service from Verizon that is sort of like a cell phone for a computer - wifi service that you can access from theoretically anywhere, for something like $60 a month -
as far as I can determine, one CAN get this for Mac but ONLY if you have a 15 or 17 inch laptop with PC slots - unless I am missing something. It requires a special kyocera card.
Another company, T-Mobile, offers a similar service, but with no MAC access at all.
So my question is: is there a similar service, wi-fi access theoretically anywhere (or even just anywhere in New York City) ? Hopefully with just the regular mac airport card and not any additional special hardware?
Thanks!
Will

Hello WillFriedwald2
The kind of service your describing is probably a 3G and GPRS service.
Phone companies now offer mobile high speed connections using EDGE technology or GPRS2 and supply a 3G or GPRS PCMCIA card.
However some companies are now offering a package whereby you get high speed 3g and gprs and also wifi.
So to use this service on a laptop that has no PC card slot you need to get a 3G or GPRS2 phone that supports blue tooth then you can connect your laptop to the phone over bluetooth and therefore access high speed internet.
But if you had a desktop mac such as a G5 you would be better just getting a regular cable or dsl connection in your home and invest in a wireless router.

Basic JDBC transactional question

Hello all,
I have (what I believe) is a basic transactional JDBC question.
Here's what I want to do:
begin transaction
select a row from a table where (some condition).
that row may or may not exist.
if the row exists: update the row
else if the row does not exist, insert a new row
end transaction
I want this entire thing to be atomic .. I don't want the select to complete, then have something else come in there before the update/insert takes place.
I'm using MySQL .. I seem to remember hearing about some proprietary MySQL command which would do a SELECT + UPDATE atomically .. which would be fine, but I can't find it.
Wrapping this with a row-level lock would be fine too .. I'm just not sure how to do that in JDBC.
Thanks!
-d

By thte way, and not that it helps the orignal poster, who's using MySQL, but Oracle has a proprietary MERGE statement that does "insert or update" in one go. For example:
MERGE INTO bonuses D
   USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
   WHERE department_id = 80) S
   ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
   WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
     DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
   WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
     VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*0.1)
     WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);

Basic Layering Question

I'm trying to fade some text from 100% opacity to 0% over 45 frames,
and end my layer when it gets to 0, (Thus making it dissapear?).
My text stays there with 0% opacity (Slightly visable), untill the next layer begins.
I don't understand why I can see it when the layer it's on has ended.
I preview it with audio using num 0.
This has happened to me multiple times and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Some of my text fades and dissapears normally, but I don't understand what's different about it.
I'm probably doing lots wrong, but I'm pretty new and you have to start somewhere!
This is also my first post, hope it's in the right forum.
Any help much appreciated.
-Tyler

Make sure you are understanding how the CTI relates to the frames. View the timeline at the frame level and you'll see that if you move the CTI to frame 10 and then set the out point of the layer to the CTI position the end of the layer extends to the start of frame 11. If you put a keyframe at frame 11 the value of that keyframe will be applied after the video ends.
This shows the right way to place a keyframe on the last frame of the video for opacity set to 0.

Basic XML Publisher Question: How to access tags in the higher levels?

Hi All,
We have a basic question in XML Publisher.
We have a xml hierarchy like below:
<CD_CATALOG>
<CATALOG>
<CAT_NAME> CATALOG 1</CAT_NAME>
<CD>
<TITLE>TITLE1 </TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST1 </ARTIST>
</CD>
<CD>
<TITLE> TITLE2</TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST2 </ARTIST>
</CD>
</CATALOG>
<CATALOG>
<CAT_NAME> CATALOG 2</CAT_NAME>
<CD>
<TITLE>TITLE3 </TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST3 </ARTIST>
</CD>
<CD>
<TITLE> TITLE4</TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST4 </ARTIST>
</CD>
</CATALOG>
</CD_CATALOG>
We need to create a report like below:
CATALOG_NAME     CD_TITLE     CD_ARTISTCATALOG 1     TITLE1     ARTIST1
CATALOG 1     TITLE2     ARTIST2
CATALOG 2     TITLE3     ARTIST3
CATALOG 2     TITLE4     ARTIST4
So we have to loop at the level of <CD> using for-each CD. But when we are inside this loop, we cannot access the value of CAT_NAME which is at a higher level.
How can we solve this?
Right now, we are using the work-around of set_variable and get_Variable. We are setting the value of CAT_NAME inside an outer loop, and using it inside the inner loop using get_variable.
Is this the proper way to do this or are there better ways to do this? We are running into troubles when the data is inside tables.

you can use
<?../CAT_NAME?>copy past to your template
<?for-each:CD?> <?../CAT_NAME?> <?TITLE?> <?ARTIST?> <?end for-each?>

AS3 swf tiny question

I have a feeling that I know the answer to this. I am not
terribly savvy on Actionscript (basic sklls, not expert)..and not
in 3.0 at all!!!!!!!! I have a website that is done nearly all in
Flash with AS2.0. I recently added a video player from a video
aggregator, but their player is AS3.0.
All I could do was to build an html page and embed the AS 3
player into that. I prefer the seamlessness that Flash provides. Is
there ANY possible way to embed an AS3 swf file into an AS2
website.
I just cannot completely rebuild the entire website right now
in 3.0!!!!
Is there ANY simple solution? I cannot believe that I am the
only person who is having issues like this...Ugh!!!!
thanks for any help you can offer.

you can't use an as2 file to load an as3 file and have the
as3 file work.
you can use getURL() to load your as3's embedding html file.
if you want it to look seemless, you can load into the same window
so the user will see your as2 content replaced by the as3 swf.
in the as3 swf you can put code to load your as2's embedding
html file (using navigateToURL()). so, you can go back and forth
between your as2 and as3 swfs.

Basic VT / Video Question

I am upgrading my CM to v4.2 this month and looking to do a limited implemenation of some video. I have read the basics on VT Advantage solution and had some questions I can't seem to find the answers to:
1. Besides the obvious desktop software and hardware (camera) installation, what additonal configuration changes do I need to make to CM/Unity/gateways to get video working in the environment?
2. What kind of additional load is now placed on the network with video and what will this do to my current bandwidth configurations?

Michael,
First off you should check out the IP Video Telephony SRND if you are thinking about deploying video. Here is the link. (It's a 4.1 reference but should be 99% the same for 4.2).
http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/netsol/ns268/c649/ccmigration_09186a00804ff6ba.pdf
Somewhat brief answers to your questions.
1. QoS for video on all network devices. The above guide discusses this but the Enterprise QoS SRND is the best reference. Switched only VT advantage isn't that hard. If you have WAN links then the LLQs should be configured independantly for video and voice(still only one llq though but this will ease admin and give the ability to police the video). Call Manager locations can be created to help enforce Call Admission Control of video calls. Provisioning the bandwidth is going to be one of the harder things to configure.
ACLs will need to be adjusted for PC/Cam to Phone communication. The phone proxies the connection for the Camera and determines the camera via CDP (local on the phone switch) and then sets up a TCP connection traversing L2 vlans to L3 router and back. So if you have Phone acls they need to be adjusted. Again this is referenced in the above document.
Regions for video types. You have a few options on video quality. This response will also answer 2. You can choose Cisco wideband, 7mps each direction for the highest quality and low amount of system overhead on the pc cpu. Of course this takes up a total 14mb for video. Should only be used on local lan. Then you have increments of h263. They range from 128 up to 1536. The higher the bandwidth the better the quality and more cpu on the local pc. You will need to use regions to set the desired video codecs and locations to enforce the bandwidth the codecs require.
Lastly multipoint conferencing and other video endpoint integration. If you want conference with video you need to add MCUs. Currently (not sure on 4.2) CCM has a limitation on determining Video conference resources in an intelligent fashion. Essentially you need to have any video MCUs at the top of your MRGLs in CCM. This leaves the potential for Audio only conferences happening on very expensive video conference bridges. This calls for Device Pool and MRGL design changes for people who really only need multi-point video conferences.
Read that SRND, great resource.
Please rate any helpful posts
Thanks

A few basic iPhoto 11 questions

I just updated my iMac from Tiger (I know...) to Mavericks and it's great, but there's a few things in iPhoto that are way different from my old version- wondering if I can re-apply these.
1) I used to be able to label photos by hovering over the photo and a dialogue box would appear, then once I titled it the title would stay under the photo. I can title photos now by going to info and titling it but when I'm in album view I can't see the titles whereas I used to. I looked in preferences and everything but can't change it, is there a way to do this?
2) This one is basic and stupid- in my old version just 1 click would enlarge the photo from album view vs highlighting it and needing to double click to enlarge. Any way to revert this back to the old way?
I know these are really stupid questions but it's just conveniences I got used to that would be nice to have back.

1. View Menu -> Select 'Titles'
2. Tap the Space Bar.

SWF Decompiler Question

Hello,
I'm trying to get a working .fla file of the .swf at the bottom of this page...
http://www.fsip.biz/About.html
I tried the free version of SoThink's decompiler, but all I got was a black box with lots of layers. I'm using Flash CS3.
Any advice?

Contact SoThink and see what their customer support has to offer.

Swf-fla question

i made a fla a while back with a little animated navigational
aid, which because my scripting skills are so poor, was quite
tedious to program. now i need to edit it but i've lost the fla.
can flash convert the swf back into a fla?
any suggestions?
thanks,
macron

thanks for running it through your program. it's interesting,
the layer names don't look the same as i remember, and it seems as
if it put each invisible button on its own layer, whereas i had
them on one. and the text shows up as question marks. it did
retrieve the animation script though, which i was dreading having
to rebuild from scratch. that's terrific. i'll take a look at
so-think. thanks for the advice.
much obliged,
macron

Basic ipod-nano questions - help !

Hi
i dont know what fifith generation ipod refers to....BUT
i want to get one of the new 8bg ipod nanos.
3 basic questions:
1. I'm really confused about the current relationship between ipods & encripted/ copy protected mp3's. I don't buy from itunes (yet) - i just want to use my current mp3 collection for now.
Can i just drag & drop these onto the ipod without any hassle ???
2. How many songs/mp3s does 8gb actually hold in terms of time/numbers ?
3. I'm on a three year old emac with OS X 3.9 - Is this an issue or can i just expect to connect up & get on with it. ( I'm fire-wire & only USB 1. on this machine.)
thanks someone....
d

A Fifth Generation iPod refers to the 30GB, 60GB or 80GB iPod with video.
1. If your current MP3s were not purchased from some other online store and are not copy protected they'll work with your iPod
2. Around 2000 depending on song length and file format. The advertised song capacity of iPod is based on 4 minute songs encoded in AAC (MP4)format at a bit rate of 128 kbps. Longer songs and songs encoded at a higher bitrate or in uncompressed formats take up more space. You'll get a similar number if you MP3 are that bit rate or lower, the figures are pretty approximate.
3. You won't be able to use Firewire to update, only to charge. USB 1.1 will be signigicantly slower that USB 2 but if you can live with that should work ok.
