Blackberry Accessibility, features and functions

Recommendations:
The Blackberry Screen Reader setting “silent on call” should either be expanded to include when the blackberry Assistant is operational or a separate switch should be provided to avoid conflicts.
There should be a way to mute the screen reader during video, music play back and while receiving voice assisted directions.
The Blackberry Screen Reader when creating a new Email should resolve to the To field immediately upon the app opening verses the body of the Email as is currently happening.

Blackberry Assistant, features and functions

According to the Blackberry Classic user guide, when using the Blackberry Assistant and working with E-mails you can: Send an e-mail, reply to an e-mail, and search your e-mail messages. However I'm unable to search or find any E-mails using the assistant in that it responds that no E-mails were found. If I issue the command "read messages' the assistant will search and notify me of any text messages and request further direction such as read, reply etc.
Now, I have the Hub configured to display all E-mails, messages etc. in separate folders only but given that text messages are being read I don't think this should make any difference.

Blackberry Screen Reader, features and functions

Gestures when using the Blackberry Screen Reader indicates that to “Pan or scroll a list” that an audio cue indicates that the scrolling action is complete, and the BlackBerry Screen Reader updates the point of regard so that you can continue reading from the new location.
Swipe up with two fingers to scroll toward the top. Swipe down with two fingers to scroll toward the bottom. This action sets a new point of regard.
Q: Do you first have to set the list as the point of regard to enable scrolling?
Q: Does the size of the Text Chunk have any baring on the scrolling action?

Great information! Will keep this in mind when I get my Classic. Thanks!

Accessing variables and functions between loaded external swfs?

Using AS 3.0: Say I have a menu.swf that loads a content.swf
below it using the following
var newContent:Loader = new Loader();
newContent.load(new URLRequest("fowContent.swf"));
addChildAt(newContent,0);
Now say I have a frame label in newContent that is an
animation ending the display of that swf. Upon clicking of another
menu button in menu.swf, can I access the content's ending sequence
by:
newContent.gotoAndPlay(newContent.endingSequence);
Also can you use while loops in AS 3.0? I would like to have
a boolean variable "ended" in the newContent that becomes true
after the ending animation has played.
while ( newContent.ended != true)
//wait
then have it run the function to load and display the new
content.swf

Thank you very much for the help.
Would I need to declare a MovieClip variable before using
that statement or does that automatically cast newContent as a
movieclip and go to the frame?
So in order to achieve the flow I'm looking for.
I'll have this in the menu.swf looking for clicks. It will
run a function in the content.swf that runs the ending sequence and
receives a string variable which is a concatenation of the
buttonclicked (which is also the filename of next content) and
.swf. (can I cast the event.target.name into a string the same way
you casted the other into a movieclip?)
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void //in the menu.swf
var nextFile:string = string(event.target.name) + ".swf";
MovieClip(newContent.contentLoaderInfo.content).endSequence(nextFile)
fowContent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
In the content.swf I will have a public variable nextContent
and the function that the menu.swf calls, which begins the ending
sequence.
public var nextContent:string;
function endSequence(nextFile:string)
nextContent = nextFile;
gotoAndPlay(endingSequence);
Then at the end of the movie sequence I could call this
function that passes back the variable that was modified by the
previous function and runs the loader.
parent.loadNext(nextContent) //in the content.swf
function loadNext(nextContent:string) //function in menu.swf
newContent.load(new URLRequest(nextContent));
addChildAt(newContent,0);
I'm sure theres a better way to do this, and I don't even
know if this will work. But I'd like to make sure it makes sense
before I try to implement it.

Can't access instances and functions in MC

In this example, the code works fine on properties of a
dynamically generated MC (alpha, name, etc...). However, it fails
to access anything inside of the same MC (textFields, functions
etc).
Why?

You are not adding the content to the stage at 0,0, you are adding it to panel2 at 0,0. THen you take panel2 and assign it to be something that likely doesn't exist by the time you assign it. You need to wait until the loader completes loading before you attempt to do anything with its content, otherwise it has no content (null). Similarly, you cannot control anything in the loaded swf until it has finished loading. So assign an event listener to the contentLoaderInfo property of the Loader to determine when loading is complete, and have the event handler function deal with starting the interaction with it.
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("SWCS_S3_500x250_exp_panel_2.swf");
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processLoadedSWF);
myLoader.load(url);
function processLoadedSWF(evt:Event):void {
// deal with the loaded swf here
// but you don't want to be assigning it to the panel2 object that contains the loader
As far as controlling anything inside the swf you load, is it an AS1/2 or an AS3 swf?

Can't Access MovieClips and Functions in Loaded SWF

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to simply access anything inside this loaded SWF and all I get is 'null'.
I have code in the parent SWF that needs to tell the child SWF movieclip what to do but nothing works. This was a piee of cake in AS2 and I can't seem to get anything to crossover in AS3.
Here's my code:
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("SWCS_S3_500x250_exp_panel_2.swf"); // in this case both SWFs are in the same folder
myLoader.load(url); // load the SWF file
panel2.addChild(myLoader);   // add that instance to the display list, adding it to the Stage at 0,0
panel2 = myLoader.content as MovieClip;
photo_about.alpha = 0;
photo_downloads.alpha = 0;
//panel2.content_about.alpha = 0;
//panel2.content_downloads.alpha = 0;
function closeSection():void
          panel2.controlsMC.forcePause();
          TweenMax.to(photo_about, .5, {alpha:0});
          TweenMax.to(photo_downloads, .5, {alpha:0});
          TweenMax.to(photo_home, .5, {alpha:0});
          TweenMax.to(panel2.content_about, .5, {alpha:0});
          TweenMax.to(panel2.content_downloads, .5, {alpha:0});
          TweenMax.to(panel2.controlsMC, .5, {autoAlpha:0});
          TweenMax.to(panel2.content_home, .5, {alpha:0});
panel2 traces null and all the clips loaded within pull up undefined property errors.
Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'd be stoked to know what I'm missing and feel like this should be a piece of cake.
Thanks for any help!

Does Apple plan on restoring oft-used features and functions that were removed in the latest iWork?

In Pages alone, I am sadly missing text-to-table conversions and find and replace of white-space characters, among others. I had a running list going of features I can no longer find, but after about a dozen, I just got sad looking at it and threw it away. Is there anywhere to submit these concerns? Is there any chance Apple will respond with an update that replaces lost functionality?

You can submit Pages feedback to Apple. Just don’t expect any response. As this is a voluntary, user to user support community, Apple is neither here, nor do they reveal any future product plans to us. Although Apple has released a few updates to Pages v5, it still remains substantially limited, and any timeframe or commitment as to future updates, or content, is known solely by Apple.

Features and functionality : HW and SW

Hello Experts,
I have a read an article about functionality comparison table which compared 3G vs 3GS vs 4. That is a short list.
What i need is a more comprehensive listing of the differences between these 3 models in terms of both Hardware and Software aspects for non-jailbroken iphones.
Logically speaking, this list should be available. But where?
best regards

Ipod New Features and Functions Suggestions?

I'm sure with the continuous updates for the Ipod Software that there is a place where we can make suggestions but I can't find it? That said, I have an idea I would like to post so that someone from development could take under consideration. As well this could be a thread for other's ideas as I'm sure we all have them. Here we go:
1. Wouldn't it be great if while listening to music on your iPod using the shuffle feature, if you heard a song you like, you could press a button and have it return directly to the album from where it's located. When you have 20 - 60 GB of songs, scrolling back through menus to get to artists or songs is long and painful. This would also save serious battery time, etc.
2. How about a feature on Itunes that allows you to sort or count how many songs (and size) that you have checked versus what you don't. I have 60 gb of music but only a 20gb iPod. Currently you have to use the "Allow iPod to create a playlist" feature to select 20 GB worth of music and then edit from there.

There is a form you can use to submit suggestions for future iPods; messages submitted there will be read by the iPod engineers, while suggestions posted here may not be.

CS4 missing features and functions

Help please, I cannot get my work done!
I have just upgraded from Design Premium CS3 to CS4. InDesign is the only program I am having issues with.
I can no longer Alt-drag to duplicate an object. Using Edit-Duplicate puts the new object off the pasteboard.
I can no longer cut and paste ANYTHING. The features are grayed out in the menu, even when an object is selected. I can copy text from Word, but it will not past into the InDesign text box.
Cannot move selected objects using the mouse, only the arrow keys will move a selected object.

The problem is caused by a bug in the handling of US and GB language files either in InDesign CS4 or its installation program.
You can "force repair" this by using a macro I made: www.e-fastems.com/cs4_indesign_repair_missing_help_and_shortcuts.zip
In the last step, you need to choose the default shortcut set of your area. E.g. for me it was [Default Finnish]
I'm not sure if there are more similar problems in CS4. But in my company, we were able to fix the problem in InDesign CS4 using this macro.
Symptoms of this problem include:
- When trying to open the help in InDesign CS4 you get the message: "Adobe InDesign CS4 Help content is not installed, or the installation has been damaged. Please reinstall InDesign."
- All the tools (Tools, Control, Links) panels are missing (i.e. Workspace settings are missing)
- Copy-paste is not working
- Enter key does not work
- Delete key does not work when e.g. trying to delete a selected object

Sick of losing features and functionality with Apple "upgrades"

So far with upgrading my IPad 1, my iPod touch1 and my Apple TV, I have lost some features on everything and the iPad is slow and crashes all the time.
really ****** off, I have 7 Apple products and didn't think I would ever stray, but if this keeps up I will be reconsidering.

Ok, thanks for sharing - but do you actually have a technical question we can help with?
Which features do you think you've lost? I'm not aware if any features Apple has actually removed. You also don't mention what you gave upgraded from and to.

If I move to Mavericks from Mountain Lion, what features and functions will I lose?

I have read about the problems some users are having with interrupted downloads, slow running etc. Apple trumpets its new features but doesn't seem to mention which ones will disappear. I believe USB sync will be lost for some apps: fine if you have internet coverage but not a valid assumption in many parts of rural Queensland.
I'd like to hear what other backward steps may be involved in the "upgrade".

Hello.
I have a assignment based on comparing, OS X, and either Windows, or LInux.
Could someone please give me some information on the following.
Support for connectivty of portable media
Associated utilities
cost and support for the user
Security
ease of management
I do not now much about OS X, I have used it and thefor have a understanding of it.
It would be a great help.
Many thanks,
Jacob.

I am biased. I have been a Mac guy since I bought my first one in 1984, before there was Windows. II occasionally use the Windows machines at work, and they are horrible. The software is poorly written, uncreative, unintuitive, and soul crushing. I think it really makes people stupider when they use Windows machines. It's like listening to pop music.
Item
Mac OS X
Windows
Connectivity of portable media
Simple and Intuituve. Plug and play. Connect media, it appears on the desktop.
Complex, difficult, frustrating. Connect media, you have to hunt for it.
Associated Utilities

Cost
$19.99 at the App store
$199.99 from Microsoft
Support for user
Free online forum vs. Applecare, local geniuses at Applestore Genius Bar.
No geniuses.
security
robust. Viruses rare. Antivirus software unnecessary.
thousands of viruses. Antivirus software a must.
ease of management
easy
want to kill myself when I have to use the windows machines at work to try to do simple tasks.
By "Associated Utilities" I am not sure if you mean software in general or "Utilities", which are more maintenance or system software related items. There are definitely more Windows Software Titles, but there is no shortage of good software for macs these days. Also PC software can run on a mac in various ways, with emulation software, or macs can just boot directly into windows; the converse is not generally so true. Most (not all) professional audio, video, and commercial art is done on Macs. Windows still rules the corporate non-creative world because the machines needed are cheaper and less powerful and Apple doesn't make lower end cheaper machines. Microsoft Office is the mainstay of that corporate world; there are Mac versions of the Office Apps that communicate well with PC's.

I am not able to access the "featured" and "top charts" in the app store

I am not able to access the "featured" and "top charts" icons in the app store. Everything else works fine.

Here I am using Java Type IV for database
connection.
So,there was no necessity of creating DNS.How your app communicates with db shouldn't matter for the end user. Still, you may want to use a functional network name also for the thin client driver connection string.
So,is there any other way to solve this problem.What is the problem really? Do you not use dns for network naming? Maybe you have to manage the hosts file on every client then.
