Best workflow for creating games for pc and starling games in AIR

best workflow for creating games for pc and starling games in AIR.
I need to develop for tablets with starling and AIR as well as for pc without starling ie: downloading from a server.
In starling you have to
1. instantiate starling
2. use texture atlases for loading graphic assets - well its the recommended way
3. use juggler
etc...
ie: with all these differences is it best to:
1. create completely different projects
2. just create different classes for the starling specific parts
3. use a conditional compile constant
    eg: CONFIG::STARLING
            "then do this"
or      CONFIG::CPU
          "then do this"
I currently have the latter but it feels a little messy. I would prefer separate classes for each platform where the image loading is concerned.
There must be so many game developers out there but in large gaming companies that know exactly what to do. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction with a book or something.
CHEERS

The other thing is that I can't see the games being very different as you suggest. I have downloaded Lee Brimelows tut on creating a starling game on Lynda.com and the code is great for creating games using states for menu, play, gameover etc... The only difference is that he uses texture atlas and there is a great difference in loading them etc... so technically you would only need to handle them in a different class as collision and the rest of game play should be the same in both. I think!!!
Well, actually not exactly but near enough - maybe it might be easier to create separate projects and just cut and paste the new code introduced.

What is the best way to create space for a Yosemite download?

What are the best ways to create space for the download of Yosemite. I can't install it as I don't have enough space.

Did you empty Trash? Very important!
How much space do you have available? Click in the HDD icon on the desktop, COMMAND+I.
Also try a Safe Boot:

That will temporarily create some additional space.

What is the best way to create videos for my website?

Hi,
I'm a public speaking coach in Sydeny Australia. I've started a blog and want to include videos to my newsletter subscribers. I do not want to use YouTube, because I want to only share these videos to people on my list.
What is the best way / program to create good videos for my customers? I think I might need to upload these videos to my server and only share the links...? Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you

Trevor:
This may be more information than you asked for, but here goes:
Get a Samsung S10 Video camera (under $400) and a Zoom H4n Professional audio recorder. Get Adobe Production Premium CS5. The camera shoots 1920 x 1080 square pixel in a better quality than a $6000 Panasonic P2 from 4 years ago. The downside, the audio from the Samsung is poor. That's why I recommend the Zoom H4n. On the Premiere timeline, you simply align the waveform of the video with the higher quality wave from the H4n. You can buy a medium sized fold up greenscreen and place any background behind your talent. CS5 has Ultra built in, so you can easily key out the green right on the Premiere timeline revealing a nice background of your choice.
I would design a web page based upon your current website's look and feel that will be a template for your videos. You export your finished video from the Premiere timeline as an f4v. I would recommend 16x9 widescreen and use the Flash preset of "Web Large Widescreen". You can also specify a "Fullscreen" button on the video's controller. The quality is so good that the video will look good even when your client watches it full screen. You import the video into Flash CS5 using the same document dimensions as your video size. You create a Flash template and "Publish" your Flash movie TO your template. Then all that is necessary is to upload all of the associated Web ready files to your server via FTP or Dreamweaver. This workflow streamlines the process and saves hours of fiddling around.
As far as the Web page goes that has your video, give the pages an HTML name like; vid0096hvc.html and use the Robots No Follow tag:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
This is the next best thing to having a client log-in and works in a setting where people aren't paying
to see the video, but you still don't want them plastered all over the internet.

Workflow for creating animations for web (Creative Suite CS6)

Hi,
I was wondering about what the best workflow is for creating animated videos for the web (say, YouTube) once the project reaches the "computer" stage (i.e. story, look etc. are all decided).
Is it best to use Photoshop, Illustrator or Fireworks to draw everything if the software to animate these drawings is After Effects?
The project I'm talking about is as of yet hypothetical but would be relatively short (90 seconds) and simple as I don't have much experience with this at all - hence my question.
I've been looking around for a good set of basic tutorials but can't really work out how to go about this from start to finish using the Adobe Suite.
Thanks!

size is mort important than format. I prefer PSD files, but png, tiff, tga, even jpeg if you do not need transparency. Just make them big enough that at some point in your composition they are scaled to 100%. IOW, if you are drawing full frame animation cells for HD they do not need to be any bigger than 1920 X 1080 pixels. If you are going to scale them up or move in on some details then the area you are going to be pushing in on needs to be 1980 X 1920.

Best way of creating request for a query

hi,
what will be the best process to create the request for the query.
1.go to rsa1-> transport connection -> select query -> select BEx bus-> create the request, then change the query and save
OR
2. change the query first and assign the request in the transport connection
Please help me put.

Hi,
You would get problems when you transport it by the second method, like the Variable might get missed out when you edit the query and save it to the request.
First method through Transport connection is the best way to do it, to make sure all the objects are collected.

Workflow for creating files for online printing

I recently asked a question about making a copy of a file in Aperture 2 but am still unsure as to the best method to use. The original is cropped for posting to the web, and the duplicate is to be cropped for standard print sizes. I didn't quite get a clear answer, so I wanted to ask what other users' workflow is for preparing images for printing at an online site (I use adorama, which has an aperture plugin). In my case, my "ideal" crop, posted to a mobile me gallery, is not a standard size, but I do want the print to be a standard size. How do you keep the preferred crop for viewing online but change to a standard crop for printing?
Thanks,
John

FM for creating longtexts for BP ?

Hello forum,
is there an fm for creating/changing longtexts for a business partner ?
We have customized longtext fields for business partners and now we want to fill them
with data, but I haven't found anything.
Hope someone can help me !
Best regards
Gerd

hi, in same to ERP, in CRM save the long text need to call function 'SAVE_TEXT'
several parameter is important to call it,
LINES the contents of your long text
HEADER it include the text ID text language, text name (normally the name is the document number, in your case it is the BP ID)
text object(you must know it when you configure the long text)
if you don't know very clear how to call it, you can set a breakpoint in it, change a long text in SAP GUI or WEB UI to trigger, and search out how SAP standard call it.

Simplest approach for creating database for small collection of data - new project design phase

Hello. I am at the design stage of a VB.NET project, which I hope will help me strengthen some skills I have learnt so far, and learn new ones. I have a couple of questions. Firstly regarding data types, is there a unified, standardised, all-convergent
data type available I can use? Secondly I've read about numerous avenues to create a database, namely binary serialisation, access-based, excel-based, notepad-based - The project I intend to create, will only require storage of a "relatively" small
collection of data, which may grow over time, but not significantly - so, taking this into account, which method is advisable for creating my database? (a beginner-friendly option is preferred). I have included a couple of images, with my questions, to give
a rough idea of what I'm planning to do. Thanks for your advice and suggestions.

Type would be the type of recording, as in LP (Long Play - standard album), EP (Extended Play) or Compilation. Most would be LP.
Chris,
I have a start on this and I want to pause here to post what I have and to discuss it.
There’s a lot to talk about because you’re going from little knowledge of a class to a lot in a hurry. There is no real hurry
in any of this; if you don’t understand then let’s stop and talk about it – until you fully have a handle on it, adding more would only fuel the confusion.
I’ll add this at this juncture: There is no one single right way to do this. There are definitely some
wrong
(or maybe just simply ineffectual) ways, but certainly no single right way. A lot of what you’ll see in the following will reflect my preference; nothing more than that.
Also though, I’m doing some of this to expose you to it. By that I mean that I may or may not have done it this way all along,
but I decided that I want to open the doors, even though at first it’ll seem like you’re trying to get a drink of water from a fire hydrant. ;-)
I have it set up with two namespaces: CMJR and Common. The latter one is for use for what I’m considering to be a ‘common’ need
– things that you may use in several classes. In time, the routines for serialization will be there but no need to even talk about that now so it’s not there.
The code so far (which I’ll show by the end of this discourse) is about 500 lines. For a class library, that’s puny! Most of
what I have thus far is just a shell of what will be filled in later. I won’t at all be surprised that by time this is completed, that 500 lines can easily grow to 5000 lines or more.
Like I said yesterday, the great thing about doing it this way is that it’s done
your
way; the drawback is just how much there is to do though, so if nothing else, this will perhaps influence your decision on how you want to handle things like this in the future.
The namespaces/classes are laid out as:
CMJR
Music (a class)
Film (a class)
Games (a class)
Common
IDataSource (an interface)
IGenre (an interface)
Utilities (a class)
This
image shows the structure of things thus far. The reason why the enum “GenreType” isn’t expanded in that
image is because it’s hugely long! In fact I fully expect that you’ll likely delete most of those. I got them from someone else’s class library (about a decade ago) so it was convenient to use.
Let’s start from the inside and work toward the outside here:
What is an
enum?
An enum (enumeration) is a type all its own. It’s a constant (of integral type) that you define. You can think of it as “an
integer with a name associated with it” because in code, you’ll use it like a multiple-choice selection and [typically] you’ll use its name.
Any time there’s a need for some something to be “this or that”, an enum very often is a useful type to use. In what we talked
about yesterday regarding what the source of the data is (CD or PC), that’s what came to mind; select which of the two from an enum. I always include a “_String” property with these so that it can later be used in whatever will consume the class. Often it’s
nothing more than use the .ToString method of the enum itself, but remember that then enum is actually an integer, not a string.
In this library so far, I have three enums defined. Two of those are in each of two interfaces (discussed in a bit) and one
is specifically related to only the music, so it’s in the class “Music”:
       Public Enum MusicFrom
           LP
           EP
           Compilation
       End Enum
The “type” that I asked about earlier is encompassed in that enum and you can more or less see how it works without any further
explanation.
Do understand that enum is only ‘useful’ for programming. We could use strings for all that it matters, but the problem with
doing that are many, including things like typos and capitalization. That’s not the case with an enum because you select one of the choices offered. In the one above, that would be either LP, EP, or Compilation. It can’t be anything else.
So if strings have this issue with typo’s and the like, what about if we just assigned it a number (an integer). Sure that’s
a better idea but are you really going to remember what 23 means? I doubt it, or not for long.
BUT – if we had a number that has a string associated with it, yea that’s a good idea!
Right! Now you know what an enum is. ;-)
Notice from the
class
diagram though – it’s not shown; I’m not using it all and that’s because I question its worth here, at least
for the current setup. I’ll explain what I mean:
As it’s currently set up, the basic unit of the class “Music” is a song. Even though there’s a title for the album, the album
– as a type – doesn’t exist. LP, EP, and Compilation refer to the album, not the song (in my opinion here) so I don’t see how it can be used.
If, however, we create a new type called “Album”, then I can see how it could be used. In something I worked on a while back
that’s exactly how I have it set up: An album is a “container for songs” and the album (a class in what I’m referring to from a few months back) has certain properties like a name and cover art, etc..
I don’t have this set up that way, but give that some thought.
What is an
interface?
Until quite recently I ‘knew of them’ but I never used them. There may or may not be merit in it here either but I wanted to
expose you to them.
From that link above:
“An
interface defines a set of members, such as properties and procedures, that classes and structures can implement. The interface defines only the signatures of the members and not their internal workings.”
The interface is a way in which you create a ‘code contract’. You don’t define what the methods, properties and events do in
the interface – you define that they have to be implemented if a class uses it.
It’s up to the class to actually put it to use (i.e., the code that’s executed in the member of the interface).
It’s a lot deeper than I’m discussing here – including a fair amount of ambiguity – so I won’t go any further than that for
now.
I have two interfaces set up and I have them in the “Common” namespace. They are “IDataSource” and “IGenre”.
IDataSource has an enum named “SourceType” and two read-only properties (see it later in the code).
The interface IGenre is likewise set up the same way and that’s where the long list of elements are in the enum named “GenreType”
that I talked about earlier.
I think it’s a good idea with Genre that it’s a “pick one of these” rather than simply a string and here’s why: If we later
add in a method to choose songs from a collection of them, one of the options might be of a particular genre. That’s not an uncommon request I would think. By using an enum, we don’t have to worry about your users mistyping when they add the data:
RockAndRoll
Rock and Roll
Rock
…etc., and imagine some of the typos your users might come up with, so by using an enum it’s definitive rather than guessing.
I said that an enum is ‘only for programming though’ so we’ll need to make it more usable later on. For example, I can also
build in methods to hand you back a string array of the string equivalent of those enums and then later a method to turn that string back into the actual enum member. By doing this then the method(s) which will use this will filter the data from the collection
to only include those with that particular genre.
Other than something simple, I’ve learned that once you get involved in a really long enum – like the genre that I showed above
– it’s better to create a class which, all on its own, has methods for handing you the string array and then handling the conversion back to an enum, so that’s a possibility too.
That’s for use in your UI so the blinders will start to come off at that point. ;-)
Continued in a subsequent post…
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.

Error in J1IIN for create Excise for Factory sale

Hi,

When I try to save the document it gives me warning message "No defaults could be proposed for Excise utilization." and after that it gives me error message saying "GL account has not been assigned for RG23AECS in customization.".
I have maintain the entries in for OTHR - RG23 ECS Account and also specified G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction is maintianed for G/L RG23AE.
Can some one guide me is there any other config which has to be done.
Thanks in Advance
