Big picture - conceptual guidance

As a newbie buying CS5 Web Premium I started using Flash Catalyst first. I initially found Catalyst was more useful to me as I am more interested in Flash use for web design. I tried out all the main features and loved it. However, there are some things that FC just will not do and so I need to develop my knowledge of Flash Pro.
Here's the thing I need guidance on. I find the Page/States so easy to grasp. They are excellent for tranistions and make designing web pages/sites so much easier, that concept is simple and fluid to me. What I fail to grasp is how one would operate in Flash Pro - in a similar way. I apreciate the Timeline use in Flash Pro for animation but Animation is not my thing. I will make more use of the 'website interaction' stuff that Flash is capable of.
So I guess the 'big picture' question is this - How does one use Flash Pro in a kind of Page/States way ?
Does one use grouped layers instead of page/states - or - does one use key frames instead of Page/States ?
Before I start designing, I really want to grasp the concept of operating in Flash Pro to produce websites so I have the foundation set in my mind.
I hope I got the issue across - I fear I have not communicated this very well but hopefully, someone out there will understand.
regards

There are a number of different ways to approach a web site design in Flash, and all kinds of variations among them and in combining them since each can serve a useful purpose.  You can use the timeline to isolate separate sections, or you can use movieclips to contain them and manage their visibility, or you can have your sections as separate swf files (or library content) that get loaded dynamically, or you can have content that is created entirely dynamically using internal/external data resources.
I'd say rather than picking one to follow, learn them all since they all offer certain features that prove useful under varying circumstances.

  • Small picture inset in the big picture

    Why would the printer print a picture that has part of the picture set in the big picture?  On the page preview it doesn't show up but.  It has happened when printing a PDF and also when printing a bmp. file.  Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Displaying a Big Picture on Flash CS4

    Hello folks..........
    It is possible to create a flash picture that the user
    can drag around ?
    In another words, this will be a big picture
    on a small area or screen and the person with
    scrollbars or mouse can drag / pan the picture.
    Thanks
    Gesy

    Yes, if you place the image inside a movieclip you can use actionscript to control the x and y properties of the movieclip (to move it around with scrollers) and to have it draggable.  You can also add a mask over it to define the area of it that will be viewed.

  • How to separate 2 divisions via authorization; Big Picture needed

    Hi,
    we are going to use our CRM System for a second Division and we are planning to do this with the SAP Authorization Concept. (Main Issue: Div 2 is not allowed to see the BPs of Div 1)
    I found some relevant SAP Notes for this; for example Note 545334(Separate the BP Transaction Results of the F4 Search) But I`m still missing the BIG Picture.
    Does anybody have some hints for me how to get the big Picture?
    Thanks in advance
    Best regards

    Dagfinn,
    You probably need to send email to Amit Levavi. Technically with my infrastructure/landscape project experiences, I would agree with Alternative 4. If SSL and Security is not an issue, and you have the same audience (external/intranet, etc.), then it would be my approach as well. Even with a Big Portal, with J2EE WAS 6.40, you can always add servers.

  • KCLP - can someone give me the big picture?

    In a project I have to review I stumbled into some log files displayed with Tx KCLP. It's some "external data transfer" logs.
    Unfortunately I miss the big picture and I did not find much on KCLP. Can someone give me a hint what's the big picture, e.g. what kind of applications use the KCLP logs.
    Thanks Frank

    I know KCLP is used by CO-PA to import external data via KEFC.
    THe bigger picture is
    - provide an import structure
    - define some transfer rules
    - post the data

  • How much Image Data can the Scenegraph hold?  handling big pictures?

    I have some jpg pictures that are taken with a standard compact camera.
    Pictures are around 2MB in size. I would like to load them full size so I can Zoom into them later.
    I can load about 4 of this pictures (total 8MB data), but not 5 of them.
    Where is the limitation?
    How much Image Data can the Scenegraph hold?
    any tweeks or workaround for big pictures?

    You mean this:
    The default maximum heap size is half of the physical memory up to a physical memory size of 192 megabytes and otherwise one fourth of the physical memory up to a physical memory size of 1 gigabyte.
    For example, if your machine has 128 megabytes of physical memory, then the maximum heap size is 64 megabytes, and greater than or equal to 1 gigabyte of physical memory results in a maximum heap size of 256 megabytes.So Java doesn't want to use a lot of ram by default. My 3 Year PC has allready 4 GB Ram. But well there are laptops with 1 or 2 gb RAM. Even my 5 year old video-pc, only there to watch some movies, has 1.2GB RAM. So Whatever, maybe Oracle will change this in Java7 or 8. As well also Anyway, i can do make the a little bit more effiecient, but if someone want to load a jpg captuared with a 12MegaPixel Camera, you just need some Ram.

  • Dragging a Big Picture

    Hello folks, I had been searching and found plenty examples on
    how to print a web page, but....
    Anyone here knows where I can find an example on how to print a picture
    on the page, not the whole page ?
    I found one, but was not well explain.....
    Thanks

    Ok folks, I went trough all the posts and I can see what
    the error is, there is a post about a coupon that should NOT be here.
    Some how got into this area.  ( That was another question )
    What I asking is for example on Java, CSS or PHP that let a person looking at
    the page " with a coupon" in the very center, to print
    " THAT COUPON" and NOT the whole page.
    Like Ken Binney indicate above, just that I hardly getting a hand on CSS
    ( Got no idea how to )
    The question about the picture, was on a script that let the viewer of your page
    to click and drag the "Big" picture around, like Google those with their Maps.
    I know the pictures are small pieces of the big picture, but cant find
    a code to do this or how to cut the big picture according / for the script.
    I had found plenty examples but they all use Flash.
    Sorry, for all the mess, but the two questions got mix here.
    One question was about printing a coupen that the customer see on the page
    The other was about the Big Picture "Dragging" with the mouse like Google Maps.
    Thanks !  ( And Sorry )

  • Packages and the big picture

    Hitting the chapter on subprograms and packages in the 2-day developer guide brought up material that is completely new to me, so I'm trying to think my way through it and hoped you guys might help me put some of the pieces together into at least a rough overall picture of how this works.
    Here's one statement that particularly caught my eye: "Many Oracle customers allow client programs to access the databases only by calling subprograms."
    To help explicate this, I'll take as an example a company with a sizeable plant near where I live: Baldor, which makes electric motors. That seems at least roughly like the kind of company that would fit the model of the hr database that Oracle provides as example--big enough to have multiple office locations, decent sized IT department but also lots of users who have no clue with regard to the inner workings of the database but who all still need to acces data of various kinds.
    Now suppose I (picturing myself with a good deal more knowledge than I currently have) am supposed to be developer for an Oracle database that is going to handle Baldor's data of various kinds. Aside from the obvious intricacies of setting up all the tables and their interrelationships, what I'm wondering (particularly since I'm coming from Access, where issues of this kind are outside the scope of the program) is how to picture the various interfaces for various user-types.
    They're going to have their administrators, who will know how the program works and how to tweak it to improve performance and all that. And they are skilled enough to use several possible interfaces, maybe develop their own, maybe just use one of the various access options that Oracle has in the drawer.
    But now, back to the packages and subprograms issue, which is the point of departure for my question: Am I supposed to set the database up so that everything that the non-IT guys in accounting, HR, sales, etc. need is set up in subprograms (that need to be designed accordingly) and will then be presented in various kinds of front ends (generated in whatever programming languages) that non-IT people can comfortably use and which provides additional protection for keeping consistent and accurate data in a context where lots of people are dealing with (and editing) it--i.e, the subprograms provide additional control over how the data is manipulated by the various non-IT people who need it and work with it.
    Is that the basic idea of how the subprograms and procedures fit into the overall scheme of things in Oracle?

    SQL and PL/SQL (or SQL Server, or MySQL, or ?? implementations of procedural SQL, for that matter) is a specialized skill set. My experience is that Java, .NET, VB, Python, Ruby on Rails, (or whatever comes next) programmers tend to not be very strong in SLQ or PL/SQL. Packages or procedures and functions provide a way to protect the database from these programmers. It also serves to allow more freedom in the front end development because the business rules and logic reside with the data and does not have to be recreated and tested whenever the front end language or platform changes. Used to be Mainframe with CICS, IDMS, IMS. Then client server. Now browser based applications. Next Smart phone applications. After that, who knows. But the data and business logic remains, the only thing that changes is how you get to it.
