Black Fri -- best phone for Flash 10.1 'touch'

I've really been 'chomping-on-the-bit' to try some of the touch programming features of the next release of flash, but I haven't got a phone for it yet. Flash 10.1 doesn't come out for a little bit so I've been putting off doing any research on it. But I glanced through the fliers tonight and I'm seeing some REALLY good deals. So the big question is, which phone would be the best for a touch screen programmer. I'm not looking to dazzle my friends, but I am looking to have a piece of equipment that will suite my needs as a developer. I understand that the iPhone doesn't use Flash, so that one is definitely off of the list.
Any thoughts from developers who might know.

Thanks for the link.
If I'm understanding the info on Adobe Labs correctly, apps built in the new 10.1 or CS5 can be run on the iPhone if they're converted from the .swf to the iPhones .ipa, but it still won't play flash streaming video such as what you would find on Hulu -- if I'm understanding this correctly.
I'll be honest, I don't understand the situation completely, but I'm a little miffed as to why, by in large, everyone seems to play OK with Flash except Apple. I look around and it seems that any designer/developer worth their salt has a Mac, so why make it dificult for iPhone developers? I'm confused.
Like I mentioned before, the iPhone seems to be the benchmark for all other handhelds, but I'm not inclined to go that route if the majority of the other handhelds will work directly with 10.1/CS5. Processor speed and data transfer will only ever increase and because of this I believe that streaming video will be a big part of the future for hand helds. In my opinion, Flash has the best platform for this. Apple has distinguished itself by standing apart, but I'm inclined to go with the mobile platforms that work with Flash directly.
Thanks for the input

Best export for flash video

I have completed an edit of a 7 minute teaser for a feature film and need to export it to be displayed online in a flash player. The footage is HD 1080i, 29.97fps and edited in the Animation coded. My experience with best exports for flash conversion is very limited so please bare with with.
1) Is it possible to export directly from FCP to a flash file? If yes, would that be a good idea, or should I use third party softwares for better results?
2) Which third party softwares are recommended for flash conversion? And what export compression should I use in FCP for best flash conversion results?
3) Any other tips and tricks to get the best quality for flash video display?
Any help would obviously be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

When I have quality HD video that I want to export for flash, I compress it with h.264 codec. Then, with the new version of Flash, you can swap out the .mp4 extension for .f4v and your good to go in Flash. Quality looks pretty good at a fraction of the file size.

They might not specify product-specific phone numbers (or if they do, maybe not for every product).
The number you mention is what also I see at:

(and click on the "+ Phone Numbers) link)
If you have own your copy of Flash, I'd imagine that this general ph# will be able to get you through to somebody appropriate, ti field your install or activation issue.

Switching to AT&T Cingular - best phone for use with Mac and iSync

Dear Friends,
I am finally about to be free from Sprint's poor customer service. I will be switching to AT&T / Cingular. (Not quite ready to buy an iPhone, but don't want to be locked into a 2 year contract with another provider).
I want to use Apple's iSync. I have reviewed the list of compatible devices and scanned the forums for related topics.
I'm still left wondering:
What is the best phone to get with AT&T for use with iSync?
I would like to sync contacts both ways. If possible, syncing cal events and to-dos would be nice, but not as important as contacts.
I prefer small flip phones. I don't plan to buy the Media pack service that includes text, web, etc. Instead, I will use the phone for calls and occassional text messages.
Sound quality and the ease of use are the most important features for me. I prefer raised keys to the flat keypads, but could give on this if need be.
Finally, using the phone as a modem with my laptop would be nice, but is not essential.
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.
David

I am facing the exact same question regarding, e.g., the Nokia 6126. There are several references:
1. Go to the Nova Media web site and look at their new product, Fone Link. Or their iSynch Plugins
2. One of the forum threads references, http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060915154526806
3. Another link I found http://soapbox.co.nz/past/2007/4/9/nokia-6126-and-isync-revisited/
But what I don't yet understand is whether or not any of these suggestions/solutions are affected by the carrier. My understanding is that the 6126 is the North America Version of the 6131. But I talked to ATT/Cingular support yesterday and they make some modifications to the phone software. They don't know if the ATT 6126 will synch with a Mac. Of course they know the answer if synching with a PC (!!)

Best practices for Flash CS5 and Flash Builder 4 integration?

With Flash CS5's new XFL file structure/format, what's the best way to structure project files for Flash CS5 integration with Flash Builder 4? Flash CS5 autocreates a folder named after the xfl file as the outer container, and then all the assets/xfl within it. Should this folder be used as the project folder for Flash Builder 4, or better to nest the xfl container folder in a "real" project folder? I would presume the latter, since you might have multiple XFL files in one project. I was hoping to see some automatic linkages between document class of the Flash CS5 XFL file and any default ActionScript class created by Flash Builder, but so far I seem to need to specify a document class directly in Flash CS5's environment and making sure that the path to a default class created by Flash Builder is correct.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Most likely, you know that, but just in case, you can integrate new Flash project into existing Flex 4 project from within the Flash Builder by choosing either Flash Component or Flash Container from the FB Design view. In such workflow Flash Builder opens the Flash CS 4 (I assume that should be the same for CS5) and takes care of the integrating the newly created Flash project into original Flex 4 project.

Best compression for flash videos on my webpages?

does anyone know the best way to convert short video clips so they will work great with flash and have the best quality possible for the web. i know a lot of different ways to convert them for the web, but i am having a hard time converting them to high, high quality for flash. can anyone please help?

you are talking about converting video, like quicktime movies, to flash right? if so, utodesk Cleaner converts abotu anythign to .flv or .swf. If you are trying to convert a worse format to flash, which is already a lower quality format (which is why it is used for web), then i'm not sure why you would.

Best settings for Flash playback on Website

Hello,
1. Whats the Best Settings for Quality and Fast loading for Video playback of Flash Video??
Website features a :30 Second TV Commercial, takes too long for website to load. any Tips to get it to load FAST but have GREAT Looking Video
Quality.
Thanks a lot

Best thing is to use the Adobe Media Encoder bundled with Flash CS4. Play with the settings until you get the optimum settings and the import the .flv to the stage. Then publish the movie "best".

Best book for flash 8/Actionscript 2.0?

I really need to get a good book - or a couple so that I can
hammer out some of this Actionscript 2.0 stuff. Does anyone have a
suggestion on good books?
Thanks!
Amanda

You can find documentation in the Flash help. Also, remoting
for Flash 8 is the same as remoting for Flash MX 2004 if you find
something for mx 2004.

Best settings for Flash output PREL 8

Hi all,
I apologize if this is a repeat question, but I've spent a couple of hours already today trying to find the answer and to no avail.
Here's what's happening: once completed, my creative agency sends me the file (mov format...details below) and I export it to flash (see settings below). When I export to flash video, all the white text on the black screen is fuzzy and borderline illegible, yet the rest of the video is fine. Any idea why this is happening?

Many thanks for your help

Do you have any control over the format that your agency is sending the files to you in? An MP4 is one of the more challenging formats for Premiere Elements to work with.
You don't say which project settings you're using in Premiere Elements to work with these files -- but the combination of that and your file format could by why you're getting such mediocre results.
If they can send you MOVs using the DV codec rather than the H.264 codec, that would be a good start. You should be able to get great results editing a DV file in Premiere Elements project set up for DV.
I'm not sure why you're outputting your FLV file at those strange dimensions (700x300), but that could also account for your blurriness, since you've down-rezzing the file to a lower resolution. Are these the specs your agency wants your video at?
Finally, how are you judging the quality of your FLV files? What are you playing them on and are you looking at them at 100% actual size or are you looking at them oversized or, worse, at full-screen on your computer? This too can affect your results.

Best strategy for flash access to an image in a protected folder

hello all,
i'm looking for a good strategy for my swf to be able to load
images in a password protected directory. since flash can't access
a file behind a protected folder i figure i'll use php to get the
image and pass it to flash.
how best to get an image from php to flash since i can't just
send a path to a file and have flash execute a Loader() to retrieve
it since the Loader won't be able to get behind the protected
folder?
is it best to have php send the file binary to flash that
flash will receive via URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY? is it best to,
at runtime, have php move the requested file from the protected
folder to an unprotected folder and after flash loads it then
delete it from the unprotected folder? maybe it's best to leave the
image folder unprotected and let an .htaccess redirect restrict
outside access to the folder?
suggestions?
tia,
michael

The built-in Firefox Sync service allows you to store your settings, including bookmarks, on a Mozilla server. This isn't accessible as a file like Google Drive; it can only be used by connecting another copy of Firefox to your Sync account. You can read more about this here: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] (I haven't tried it myself since it changed recently.)
The cross-browser Xmarks service is more focused: it just does bookmarks. http://www.xmarks.com/ (I've never tried this one either)
If you prefer working with files and you have a Dropbox or similar account, you could in theory back up your Firefox profile folder, or more particularly, the bookmarkbackups subfolder. I haven't tried that myself. To find the folder:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
A window should launch showing your currently active settings files. The bookmarkbackups folder should contain dated .json files which can be used to restore your bookmarks to another copy of Firefox.
Alternately, someone might have created an add-on for saving Firefox bookmarks to the cloud another way, but I haven't heard of one.

NEWBIE - Best Practices for FLash Website Development

I've decided to try and build my own flash website, so to help me learn the basics I downloaded the following sample Dynamic Flash Template: http://info.template-help.com/pre-sale_questions/about_web_design_templates/article25.html.
I've been playing around with it a little bit, and feel like I definitely know a lot more than I did previously, but also feel like I may learning the most efficient and effective methods.
Basically, my questions are what's the best software / methods to do the following, as it relates to the template described above.
1) I want the site able to be viewed by people who have flash enabled and those who don't. I'd like for the default website to be flash oriented, but of the browser doesn't support flash or if there are no flash plug-ins installed, I want the HTML version of the site to display. What the best way to make this happen?
2) If I use the dynamic text option for the flash site, all text is pulled from the tfile_main.html file. Is this the best way to embed dynamic text into my flash file? Is it the most efficient way or should the dynamic text be embedded from the HTML pages of the Non-Flash site?
3) Is it possible to have the flash and non-flash versions overlay each other, where if flash is supported, the flash content is displayed, but if flash is not supported, only the non-flash versions are displayed?
4) What the best way of optimizing a site of this nature for search engines? If I were to upload only the flash version of the site, embedded in the index.html file, I think that the search engines would interpret my whole site as simply being one page, which I do not want. I want them to recognize each distinct page.
5) Should I use Static or Dynamic text? Should I insert any outgoing links with the flash file itself, or within the html files?
6) I've read alot about SWFObject2.x and it seems like it would help me do a lot of the things I'm wanting to do, but I have no idea how to use it. I downloaded the .zip file, but have no clue what to do with it from there.
7) I have Flash CS3, but also currently have a free trial of the Adobe Creative Suite Premium CS5, so I have FLash CS5, Dreamweaver CS5, etc. Should I use Flash CS3 or CS5?
8) How should I set-up my Publish Settings in FLash?
Sorry for such a long message and requesting so much info. If you can only help out or provide guidance on 1 of the above questions it would be very beneficial to me and greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help and let me know if you need additional information.

No one is going to answer 8 questions, I certainly can't be bothered.
Cut them down in to different threads, in the relavent Adobe forum
But:
Use CS5.
You can use JS to determine if they have flash and show a style sheet/site accordingly, google it.
You can optimise flash sites too

Best phone for whatsapp? [And cheap!]

I own a Nokia Asha 201(qwerty) which came with a whatsapp, but I couldn't use it because it caused the internet to always be on. It doesn't have the option to switch the internet off, due to which I had to get rid of whatsapp. Otherwise I didn't really have any problems with this. I didn't really think not having whatsapp would be a problem, but since everyone's basically breathing through the app, there are so many things that aren't really easy for people who don't have it or can't use it.
So my main question is, what are the best Nokia QWERTY phones(if there are better non qwerty phones, please do suggest them as well) for whatsapp that allows you to switch the internet off? Wifi doesn't really matter either.
My budget is Rs.4,500. It would be best if it's under Rs.4,000, though.

In a Nokia Series 40 phone like the Nokia 210 with disabled mobile data, WhatsApp continues to try to go online which drains the battery. In a Symbian/S60 phone like the Nokia E6 or Nokia 700, WhatsApp can be disabled via LeStartStop and CloseWhatsApp. Windows Phone is outside of your price range. Mhm. What about enhancing your contract to include a small data volume?

Best phone for Sync-ing with iCal?

I'm due to upgrade my mobile and wondered which is the best available handset for Sync-ing with a mac. At present I have the Sony Ericson K750i which was working fine up until I upgraded to Tiger.
Any ideas?

Has anybody had any experience syncing the Motorola
KRZR with iCal?
I own a Motorola KRZR K1m (Sprint), which is supposedly supported by iSync 2.4. This seems to be a troublesome phone in regard to compatibility with iSync. If you read the iSync discussions, you will see many problems. Those that do get iSync to accept the KRZR as "supported" seem to still have problems with iCal in particular. Evidently, there are some system hacks available to force the sync to work with iCal. If you are not comfortable with getting inside files and re-writing code, then you may not be a happy camper.
Naturally, if you have access to a Windows machine, you will have no problem. (... Getting ready to duck, since that last statement will draw out all the Apple apologists and Apple-employee-wannabes ...)
Personally, I have had no success getting iSync to recognize my KRZR at all. While I can transfer files via bluetooth, the iSync issues make me wish I had some other phone. In fact, the iSync/KRZR issues are probably going to lead me to change to another (known to be supported) phone. Since I'm stuck with Sprint, that won't be easy.
Good luck!

Best phone for syncing with Office for Mac 2008?

I'll be getting a new phone in a few months and I want to get one that syncs perfectly and effortlessly with Office for Mac 2008.
I currently use a Motorola Q and a Macbook Pro and have to go through isyncing Office with the Mac versions (iCal and Address Book) and then syncing using Missing Sync. It works, but it's slow and not very elegant.
What's the smoothest solution?
- Mike

Just be careful if you use categories in Entourage for your mail, calendar and contacts and determine whether those categories will move with your contacts and other data to the iPhone when it syncs. I doubt that it will if sync services works the same way between Entourage and iCal because it doesn't support the category capabilities in Entourage which is why people had turned to Missing Sync for the 2004 version of MS Office 2004
FWIW
