Bizarre Stage Size Issue

Hello All,
I am experiencing a rather bizarre issue. First let me say that I consider myself an experienced designer and am running Master collection CS4. (Yes I am ashamed that I don't have CS5 yet .)
Here's the issue:
I designed a web page in Photoshop, sliced it up and exported all of the slices. I pop over to Dreamweaver and built the page code using pure css, easy stuff. All of my pages in the site display perfectly down to the pixel except when I take out one jpg image out of the page and substitute it with a swf file of the exact dimensions.
Safari, and IE display the page perfectly, FireFox breaks apart by 1 pixel. I am can't figure it out for the life of me. What I did was slice part of the page that had a image of the QuickTime player. I perfectly masked and sliced the "viewable" area of the QT player so I could drop in a swf file, easy stuff right? I just can't figure it out.
The slice from Photoshop is 396 x 316 px. When I pop over to Flash I set my stage size to 396 x 316 px. I just don't get it. When I take the swf out and put the jpg back in it's perfect. It just doesn't make sense as they are the identical size. Anyone run into this?

Hi Ricardo,
for the W800 you have to set the canvas to 176x176px
On the W810 you can use 176x220px when the browser runs in
Fullscreen mode
Not sure about the W550, but try 176x176 to start with and
work your way up
Best regards

Stage Size Issues in Director 11

Is there a maximum stage size in Director 11? I have set my
stage size to be 6144 X 768, in order to span 6 monitors for a
theatre project. I have used 3 monitors before, with no problem in
early versions of Director. Everything works fine while working on
the movie, but when i quit Director, I am unable to open director
again, unless I delete all the preferences and start with a single
monitor stage size.

IIRC there is a legacy bitmap dimension limitation of around
4096, so I
wouldn't be surprised if the stage also has something
similar.
You could develop separate windows (MIAW files) and display
them at
particular locations/dimensions

Paper Size issues with CreatePDF Desktop Printer

Are there any known paper size issues with PDFs created using Acrobat.com's CreatePDF Desktop Printer?
I've performed limited testing with a trial subscription, in preparation for a rollout to several clients.
Standard paper size in this country is A4, not Letter. The desktop printer was created manually on a Windows XP system following the instructions in document cpsid_86984. MS Word was then used to print a Word document to the virtual printer. Paper Size in Word's Page Setup was correctly set to A4. However the resultant PDF file was Letter size, causing the top of each page to be truncated.
I then looked at the Properties of the printer, and found that it was using an "HP Color LaserJet PS" driver (self-chosen by the printer install procedure). Its Paper Size was also set to A4. Word does override some printer driver settings, but in this case both the application and the printer were set to A4, so there should have been no issue.
On a hunch, I then changed the CreatePDF printer driver to a Xerox Phaser, as suggested in the above Adobe document for other versions of Windows. (Couldn't find the recommended "Xerox Phaser 6120 PS", so chose the 1235 PS model instead.) After confirming that it too was set for A4, I repeated the test using the same Word document. This time the result was fine.
While I seem to have solved the issue on this occasion, I have not been able to do sufficient testing with a 5-PDF trial, and wish to avoid similar problems with the future live users, all of which use Word and A4 paper. Any information or recommendations would be appreciated. Also, is there any information available on the service's sensitivity to different printer drivers used with the CreatePDF's printer definition? And can we assume that the alternative "Upload and Convert" procedure correctly selects output paper size from the settings of an uploaded document?
PS - The newly-revised doc cpsid_86984 still seems to need further revising. Vista and Windows 7 instructions have now been split. I tried the new Vista instructions on a Vista SP2 PC and found that step 6 appears to be out of place - there was no provision to enter Adobe ID and password at this stage. It appears that, as with XP and Win7, one must configure the printer after it is installed (and not just if changing the ID or password, as stated in the document).

Thank you, Rebecca.
The plot thickens a little, given that it was the same unaltered Word document that first created a letter-size PDF, but correctly created an A4-size PDF after the driver was changed from the HP Color Laser PS to a Xerox Phaser. I thought that the answer may lie in your comment that "it'll get complicated if there is a particular driver selected in the process of manually installing the PDF desktop printer". But that HP driver was not (consciously) selected - it became part of the printer definition when the manual install instructions were followed.
However I haven't yet had a chance to try a different XP system, and given that you haven't been able to reproduce the issue (thank you for trying), I will assume for the time being that it might have been a spurious problem that won't recur. I'll take your point about using the installer, though when the opportunity arises I might try to satisfy my cursed curiosity by experimenting further with the manual install. If I come up with anything of interest, I'll post again.

SCN document: 'Insert Image' greyed out at a certain stage/size

I noticed a similar issue likeTammy has reported in discussion/thread .Cannot insert or upload an image
After having inserted text and several images to a draft document, the 'Insert Image' icon became greyed out at a certain stage/size.
I did some tests following document Solution for Error: Cannot Insert Images on SCN Content, but the the behavior remained the same. Only after having deleted the last inserted image in the document > Save Draft > Edit again the 'Insert Image' icon was not greyed out anymore which is argueing for a size restriction.
The same html coding as in the document put into a blog does not grey out the ‘Insert Image’ icon. But I found out that after clicking on the ‘Insert Image’ icon > ‘From your Computer’ tab ‘Browse’ is greyed out. Strange and argueing against a size limit is, when I choose ‘Uploaded Images’ I can select images and still insert them into the blog.
Does someone have similar experiences / can assist.
Thank you, Barbara

We have a recent discussion in SCN support.
He has same problem. Have a look into the discussion Issue with 'Insert Image' button while creating document in SCN
I suggest to split you document into two part as part 1 and part 2.

Set stage size?

Is there a way to have the stage size change during this one
section that is vertically longer? I'd prefer not to have the html
scrollbar through the whole site, but I need overflow to show for
this one page of the Flash website (website is one long timeline
with labeled frames for each of the pages)
Thanks to all the smarties!

in a manner of speaking you are correct jp - you *can* use
the onResize event of the Stage class to adjust the size of the
stage to the browser window or table, you *can* also 'scale' the
content of the stage through publishing and code, on-the-fly
durring runtime in a similar manner. however that is not what the
halo's problem relates to, he wants to change the stage only during
one portion of the site navigation, so unless the entire site was
built dynamically, and any other page content was present, it would
be problematic to scale the contents 'all' to the height of the MC
in question. a better solution for the issue as he describes it is
to use a scrollpane window, as i'd mentioned.

Maximum Stage Size Possible in FP 10

Does anyone know what the max size is in FP 10 for the stage?
When I scale a swf larger than 4080 I get a black line at the
bottom below my content. Can anyone reproduce this?

It is true that the Flash IDE restricts stage size to 2880.
My question is really how large does the flash player support
scaling content?
If I have a swf that I created in the IDE at 100x100 and then
I open it in the player and tell the player to scale to 5000x5000
it appears that FP 10 doesn't complain. FP 9 and earlier did
complain by not rendering content past a certain pixel boundry.
Flex seems to have an issue if you have a gradient set on the
mx:application component (I haven't tested others yet), which is
probably the issue with the 4096 single bitmap boundary.
The crux of the matter is that I am getting artifacts on the
screen when I scale the player to a very large size that has a flex
swf loaded. The artifacts are not part of any content that I load.
So either they are caused by the flex framework components or the
flash player itself.

Flash CC Brush Tool abruptly stops drawing when stage size is small

When using the Brush Tool, I'm having an issue that the stroke I'm drawing will abrupty cut off at a certain point on the screen (roughly halfway down the monitor, it doesn't relate to the canvas position or any coordinates). This seems to happen when I have the Stage size set to a smaller size (64 x 64 pixels for example). I've been able to reproduce the same behavior on multiple files, and on both a Windows 8.1 machine and a Windows 7 machine, both using the up-to-date version of Flash CC. Both machines are dual monitor, I'm not sure if that plays a factor in this.
To reproduce:
1. Create a new FLA in Flash CC and set the stage size to 64 x 64 pixels.
2. Use the Brush Tool and attempt to draw from the top to the bottom of the screen (zoom level and position on the canvas does not matter, as long as your cursor is going from near the top of your monitor to the bottom of your monitor).
3. The stroke will abruptly cut off mid-drawing at a certain point on the screen, roughly half-way down. You can continue to draw and move upwards and it will reappear when it crosses this barrier again.
This does not happen if the stage size is set to something larger (640 x 480 for example). This also does happen in Flash CS5 or CS6, and have only noticed this happening in Flash CC.
This is happening using the mouse for drawing, and also happened when I tested it on a different PC with a Wacom tablet attached.
Is this happening for others as well, and is there any fix for this behavior? (aside from always using a large stage size)

Hi All,
Just want to update you all that the latest Flash CC 2014 release(14.0.0.110) has the fix for this drawing issue.
This release also features
* New and improved Motion Editor
* SVG export

Flash stage size problem

Am using Flash Pro CS5 and although the documentation for Flash Player 10 at the link below
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/size-limits-swf-bitmap-files.html
says that the max is 4050 by 4050.
We are trying to run a swf in a monitor array of 3840 by 4320 but in the editing of the document properties the limit is only 2880 by 2880.
Has this been fixed in FLash CS6?
Does anyone have any advice?
We are stumped.

Originally were using FP11.2 and then tried FP11.1 and went back to FP11.2 but couldn't load the swf at full stage with either. We can load a 1920 by 2160 stage but it doesn't look to be the right size - but were able to load the swf with the smaller stage size.(That is a separate issue though - the non-exactness of the stage dimensions.)
We are attempting to output to a two by four monitor array aiming for a 3840 (1920 x 2) by 4320 (1080 x 4) and the large stage size should be possible according to the specs but no go.

JavaFX Framerate & Stage Size

Hello,
I am new to JavaFX and I am currently evaluating whether to port some Swing based applications. I really like the API. It is definitely fun to work with it! But unfortunately I noticed some performance issues which I would like to understand before starting with implementing real applications.
Question:
Why does the framerate drop if the stage size increases? I add nodes that stay in a rectangular region of the stage that does not change in size. The stage size increases. Unfortunately the framerate drops. It seems like there is some delay which increases if the stage size increases. This is a problem for applications running on big screens such as iMac 27″ (2880×2560). Sometimes I get framerates far below 60 fps. Users do notice that. But as I said, while changing the size I don't change the number of nodes! They are still in the same region as before. Dirty region optimization shoud prevent this behavior. Am I doing something wrong?
I created a benchmark that demonstrates that. Here are my benchmark results: http://mihosoft.eu/?p=280
Thanks for your help!
miho

miho,
Do you notice a difference in framerate when you have some of the Window sitting outside of the desktop screen? So lets say you have a good size window that has good FPS... now drag that window so that part of it sits outside of the desktop screen. do you notice a drop in FPS?
This is what I am noticing.
thanks
jose

Edit stage size without effecting elements position.

Question. Can you change the size of your stage, say smaller than what you started with, so that when you move your elements to the new position of the stage the motion paths do get messed up because you moved everything?
I have a "full" page layout that I would like to cut in half but the stage jumps to a "middle" point and when I try to move all my elements, some with motion paths, it increases the distance of the path and destroys it. I don't see any way of locking the paths to move an element and I have 23 elements with paths to move so moving each would suck.
I know Edge is basically in Beta 24, 7 because it's still not flushed out anywhere near where it could be. If they just allowed you to adjust the stage size by locking a region kinda like page size in Photoshop or adjusting the page like in Illustrator with cropping.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for the fast reply.
I guess I checked fullscreen when creating the project, however, when setting fullScreen to false (and uncommenting the still commented node?!) in de descriptor file I get the following compile error:
Error occurred while packaging the application:
/private/var/folders/gv/gv-j1H1UFJ4olvFpGwVTVk+++TI/-Tmp-/AOT1309729499262/Box2DiPad-app.x ml(109): error 103: application.initialWindow.fullScreen is an unexpected element/attribute
User error somewhat or bug?
... Rats! In case anyone messes up like me: The fullscreen node gets rewritten all the way at the bottom of the initialWindow section. So it needs to be changed there....
Is there anyone who can shed some light on AIR 2.7 update progress?
Thanks,
Manno

Changing Stage size at runtime

I have been poking around and not finding any info on this.
What I want to do is change the height of the STAGE (not a
MovieClip) based
on which view I'm showing the customer at a particular time.
For instance...
I may have a thumbnail and a detail view for a product. I
don't need a lot
of screen real estate to show the thumbnail view, but I'd
like to make the
swf taller if the user switches to the detail view.
I don't simply want to make the swf taller by default because
I'll have a
ton of unused whitespace in thumbnail view, which will look
stupid.
I shouldn't have a problem with the JavaScript to change the
height
properties in the HTML tags for the Flash object, but not
really sure if/how
to do the other part in Flash. Everything I've seen so far
has been
read-only properties.
Thanks,
Chris.

did you change stage size?
how can you do this without javascript?

Possibel to give stage size as parameter in html ?

I know Stage size width and length are read only, but i think
to remember that it was possible to change it the moment you call
it from html ?
No ?

Just to add my 2 pence to what was already said..
One of the rules for Robust Software is not to rely on implicit data type conversions to make things work. And that is what you are doing.
The parameter is a date type. You pass a string value. Oracle now attempts to implicitly convert that string to a date.
Sometimes it will work. Sometimes not. Why? Because it depends on things like the NLS settings of that particular sessions that governs implicit data conversions. Like what format must a string be in to be successfully converted into a date?
And relying on this, is bloody dangerous. Consider the string '12/01/2008'. One session has a NLS date format of 'dd/mm/yyyy' and the other the format 'mm/dd/yyyy'.
The result will be a successfully converted date.. but the WRONG date. And slowly and silently (no errors) your application starts to corrupt data in the database, because your code relies on implicit data type conversions.
General rule: Implicit data type conversions are EVIL! Do not use!!

Smartcardio ResponseAPDU buffer size issue?

Greetings All,
Ive been using the javax.smartcardio API to interface with smart cards for around a year now but Ive recently come across an issue that may be beyond me. My issue is that I whenever Im trying to extract a large data object from a smart card, I get a javax.smartcardio.CardException: Could not obtain response error.
The data object Im trying to extract from the card is around 12KB. I have noticed that if I send a GETRESPONSE APDU after this error occurs I get the last 5 KB of the object but the first 7 KB are gone. I do know that the GETRESPONSE dialogue is supposed to be sent by Java in the background where the responses are concatenated before being sent as a ResponseAPDU.
At the same time, I am able to extract this data object from the card whenever I use other APDU tools or APIs, where I have oversight of the GETRESPONSE APDU interactions.
Is it possible that the ResponseAPDU runs into buffer size issues? Is there a known workaround for this? Or am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here is some code that will demonstrate this behavior:
* test program
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.smartcardio.*;
import java.lang.String;
public class GetDataTest{
    public void GetDataTest(){}
    public static void main(String[] args){

            byte[] biometricDataID1 = {(byte)0x5C, (byte)0x03, (byte)0x5F, (byte)0xC1, (byte)0x08};
            byte[] biometricDataID2 = {(byte)0x5C, (byte)0x03, (byte)0x5F, (byte)0xC1, (byte)0x03};

            Card card = terminal.connect("*");
            CardChannel channel = card.getBasicChannel();
            //select the card app
            select(channel, aid);
            //verify pin
            verify(channel);
             * trouble occurs here
             * error occurs only when extracting a large data object (~12KB) from card.
             * works fine when used on other data objects, e.g. works with biometricDataID2
             * (data object ~1Kb) and not biometricDataID1 (data object ~12Kb in size)

            return;
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println(e);
        }finally{
            card.disconnect(false)
    }

Stage size for a Flash website?

I am taking a beginners Flash course and our final project is to create a movie/website in Flash. 100% Flash based. In a previous course, I made an HTML site. For this project, I am recreating that website in Flash. But what should the stage size be? That is where I am stuck. I don't know what a normal Flash site size should be to fit the screen like a normal HTML site. Can anyone help me here with this please? I already know to havethe dimentions set to 100% and 100%. But for some reason, when I use Control > Test movie, it never seems to fit right. It's either crunched together to much or spread out to far to where the header and footer are partially off the screen. I've seen posts on the web from years ago that said 950x550 is the size needed. Is that still the case? Because it just doesn't look right. With HTML the page height would adjust to the content and it would automatically scroll if needed. But Flash doesn't seem to do that. It seems that you are stuck with 1 size and you have to work around it. But I don't know what size that is supposed to be. Sorry for the long rant. Just getting really frustrated. I'm using Flash CS4 if that helps any as well.

if you want to use 100%x100% and not have your display objects resize, set your stage's scaleMode to noscale. check the stage properties for your actionscript version for exactly how to do that.

Recording File Size issue CS 5.5

I am using CS 5.5, a Balckmagic Ultra Studio Pro through USB 3.0 being fed by a Roland HD Video switcher. Everything is set for 720P 60fps (59.94) and the Black Magic is using the Motion JPEG compression. I am trying to record our sermons live onto a Windows 7 machine with an Nvidia Ge-Force GTX 570, 16 GB of Ram and a 3TB internal raid array (3 drives). It usually works great but more often now when I push the stop button in the capture window, the video is not proceesed and becomes unusable. Is it a file size issue or what. I get nervous when my recording goes longer than 50 Minutes. Help

Jim thank you for the response. I have been away and busy but getting
caught up now.
I do have all drives formatted as NTFS. My problem is so sporadic that I
can not get a pattern down. This last Sunday recorded fine so we will see
how long it last. Thanks again.
