Comparision between Modules and SWF files

I've used modules and SWF files in my flex apps but don't
seem to see or figure out what the basic difference between the two
is.
I'm interested in comparisions *excluding* file size. For
instance:
When would one use SWF files instead of Modules?
Are there things possible/not possible when using one or the
other?
Any other pros/cons?

Obviously you can use Application SWFs to break a large
application into dynamically loaded parts. Modules were created to
address the ease-of-use issue. Module SWFs provide an easier
mechanism for communication between the Modules and main (shell)
application SWF. Modules also give us a way to enhance that
mechanism in the future which would be limiting if working solely
with Applications.
Further, Modules can be reduced in SWF-size compiling them
against the symbols loaded in the shell application. This makes
them much smaller and faster to download. That was possible with
Application SWFs by using Runtime Shared Libraries. However, using
RSLs is tedious compared to using Modules.
I have an example of using Modules on my blog. The example
covers the size optimization of Modules as well as communication
with Modules.

Diff between logical and physical file path

Hi ,
Could you please explain difference between logical and physical file path's and their importance in ABAP.
Thanks and regards,
shyla

Hi
The function module FILE_GET_NAME convert a logical path into its corresponding physical path.
The advantage of using logical pathes within your applications is obivous:
If you need to change the physical path you just adjust it within transaction FILE yet no changes are required to your application.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/25/ab3a57df3b11d189fc0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
The file names that you use in ABAP statements for processing files are physical names. This means that they must be syntactically correct filenames for the operating system under which your R/3 System is running. Once you have created a file from an ABAP program with a particular name and path, you can find the same file using the same name and path at operating system level.
Since the naming conventions for files and paths differ from operating system to operating system, ABAP programs are only portable from one operating system to another if you use the tools described below.
To make programs portable, the R/3 System has a concept of logical filenames and paths. These are linked to physical files and paths. The links are created in special tables, which you can maintain according to your own requirements. In an ABAP program, you can then use the function module FILE_GET_NAME to generate a physical filename from a logical one.
Maintaining platform-independent filenames is part of Customizing. For a full description, choose Tools ® Business Engineer ® Customizing, followed by
Implement. projects ® SAP Reference IMG. On the next screen, choose Basis Components System Administration ® Platform-independent File Names.
For a more detailed description of the function module FILE_GET_NAME, enter its name on the initial screen of the Function Builder and choose Goto Documentation. On the next screen, choose Function module doc.
Another way of maintaining platform-independent filenames is to use the Transaction FILE. The following sections provide an overview of the transaction.
To create a logical filename, choose Logical filename definition, client-independent from the Navigation group box in Transaction FILE, then choose New entries. You define logical filenames
You can either define a logical filename and link it to a logical path (as displayed here), or you can enter the full physical filename in the Physical file field. In the latter case, the logical filename is only valid for one operating system. The rules for entering the complete physical filename are the same as for the definition of the physical path for the logical file. To display further information and a list of reserved words, choose Help.
If you link a logical path to a logical file, the logical file is valid for all syntax groups that have been maintained for that logical path. The filename specified under Physical file replaces the reserved word in the physical paths that are assigned to the logical path. To make the name independent of the operating system, use names that begin with a letter, contain up to 8 letters, and do not contain special characters.
Save your changes.

Encrypted packets between server - client (swf file)

hello guys,
can some1 know how can i decrypt some packets which are sended between server - client (swf file) ?
ty

You shouldn't need to sync u/gid's.
The first thing that comes to my mind here is simple filesystem perms. To test I would make the shared dir world/group readable/writeable - IE chmod 777 /my/shared/folder. then try connecting from the remote client. Remember, there are two sets of access permissions...Share level and filesystem level.
You can do user/group mapping if you're in a Windows AD or domain environment, but with stand-alone Samba servers this is not necessary.
I would also check the samba check list at the following link for a decent, simple set of items to look at for basic troubleshooting...

Communications between 2 separated .swf files AS 3

Hello,
I have spend hours searching it over internet but i have found only codes which solves this problem in Action Script 2.0 like this http://blog.circlecube.com/2008/03/tutorial/local-connection-actionscript-communicate-betw een-seperate-flash-files-tutorial/
and i want to solve it out with action script 3.0
My problem is that i simply want to communicate between two separated .swf files in one HTML page.
So if you have any ideas i would appreciate any help.

Protecting EXE, PDF and SWF files from piracy

I am hoping others in the community have some experience with protecting their Captivate output (EXE and SWF files) from piracy. We will be selling our eLearning products developed with Captivate through our online store and want to protect them against file sharing and other forms of piracy. I have found several companies online offering DRM (digital rights management) and SAS (software activation services) that require users to enter a license key to use the products. I am looking for any recommendations from users who have implemented these types of services. What provider did you use and what issues did you encounter. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason

Most of the tools I have seen are geared towards extracting
resources from swf's. I use one myself (eltima.com) for
"harvesting" manufacturers content for my motorcycle dealers. They
are authorized to use this content, but finding someone at Yamaha
of Kawasaki or any of the majors who even knows where to find these
resources is next to impossible. I have also used it to learn from
by viewing scripts, but as you say, at the end of the day, I think
the concepts and best practices are about the only thing worth
taking away from others efforts, not the code.
Unlocking a protected file can be done as well and I remember
using a product over a year ago to get at the scripts within an swf
(I wanted the URL's that pointed to media - it was legal for me to
do this). It ran from the command line and output the scripts.
There aren't too many of these types of programs to be found, but
they exist.
My personal opinion is that it's not worth the effort. My
java classes can be decompiled and if someone wants to go to that
trouble, more power to them. To my knowledge, there isn't anything
out there yet that is perfect for backwards engineering an swf into
an MXML file, but a competitor of FLASH Decompiler says that they
can decompile Adobe 9 PLAYER swf's. For what it's worth, I plan on
posting the majority of my code on my flexdev.org site once I get
it established.
For people who make components for sale, this could be an
issue of stolen revenue if the decompilers get sophisticated enough
to reverse engineer the swc into a usable MXML file. I would be
against anyone who stole code for this purpose, for sure.

Distinguishing between CSV and Excel file formats

I am trying to distinguish between CSV and Excel files. Most of the files I need to process are CSV, but some have been opened and re-saved in Excel format. I know about the Excel toolbox available, but haven't used it yet.
I need to be able to open a spreadsheet file regardless of if it is in CSV or Excel format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are two example files, one CSV and one Excel. Both have .XLS file extensions.
Attachments:
20-4-XLS.xls ‏21 KB
20-5-CSV.xls ‏8 KB

Hi Paul,
I think the matter is not the extention (xls or csv or whatever) but the format of the data written in your file.
To see what I mean, open the xls file you posted with notepad... What does it look like ?
You have tobe sure of the format of the file you want to read so that you can develop an appropriate VI... if you want to be able to read different type of data format, do a test before reading the file and then use an appropriate routine for each format.
Hope this helps you...
BTW, to read the one named CSV, a simple "read from spreadsheet file" VI will do the job

Versioning of fla and swf files

Hi there,
I am working on a small flash project with one other
developer and we email fla and swf files back and forth. So far
date/time stamps and file sizes have been good enough for "version
control".
I am familiar with versioning systems for development but
what about after a release? How can I determine a released swf
file's build version? Date/time stamps can change with copying and
development could have already progressed and multiple version of
the same swf file are out there...
I am surprised that there isn't a built in mechanism to
assign a version number to a fla/swf file (e.g. as part of the
publish profile) that one can then view via the files properties
dialog... or perhaps somebody has to show me the light... :)
Does anybody have a recommendation on how to give a fla/swf
file a version number that can be checked once the file has been
released?
Thanks,
Dan

.. or, Plan B), use QuicktimeX' ability of Screen-Recordings to record while you playback those files in their app.
The resulting mov can be treated as any other movie in iMovie.

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at http:// (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
'''Note:'''
Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

.css and .swf files are getting generated with Ibot email

Hi Team,
I have an Ibot which use to run on daily basis which contains graph and normal table views, .css and .swf files are getting generated and attached with Ibot email to the users. I'm facing this issue from last two days. Earlier there was no such attachments sent to the users.
Could anybody let me know what might be the reason for that?

any inputs?

Difference between AAC and m4a files, converting from AAC to useable format

Does anyone know the difference between AAC and m4a files? iTunes has an option to use an AAC encoder to compress CD files, but this creates an m4a file not an AAC file. I just got some actual AAC files and iTunes cannot read these, is there a way to convert from AAC to a format that iTunes recognizes? Thanks

iTunes uses AAC data wrapped in an MPEG 4 container file. If you got some *.AAC files, and they're just raw AAC files, then you need to wrap them in an MPEG 4 container. The only way I know to do this is using the foobar 2000 program. You can find more information at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org and http://www.foobar2000.org

Difference between *.SAR and *.CAR files

Hi everyone,
What is the difference between *.SAR and *.CAR files?

hi Veera
These are similiar to .zip for SAP components...
.SAR supports version of SAP above 4.6c onwards
whereas .CAR supports version of SAP before 4.6C
whenever you want to download kernel patches basing on the version of SAP these files come either in .SAP extension or .CAR extension...
please awards points if you find this useful

Rc.conf: difference between MODULES=() and MOD_BLACKLIST=()?

Is there any difference between
MODULES=(!foo)
and
MOD_BLACKLIST=(foo)
I just think that maybe the MOD_BLACKLIST could be ripped out of rc.conf and only use MODULES=() with a ! to disable a module like in DAEMONS=() to clean it up a little bit, if those 2 are the same...
Of course there is a difference, since MOD_BLACKLIST can't load modules, but all the functionality of MOD_BLACKLIST can be done by MODULES, right?

keeping only MOD_BLACKLIST wouldn't be good since you can't manually load modules then, but only NOT load them.
with only keeping MODULES it would be more like DAEMONS: you can specify the stuff to load AND you can prevent stuff from being loaded by putting a ! infront of the name.
but hwdetect would have to be rewritten to use MODULES and since hwdetect comes from tpwoa and he uses MOD_BLACKLIST, my guess is that this is not going to happen
as seen in this thread there are some people that like the MOD_BLACKLIST and they wouldn't be happy when they'd have to put the stuff into MODULES, so you can't make everyone happy.
I just thought that it doesn't really make sense to have two almost identically things in the rc.conf as it keeps all the other stuff so simple with ONE place to edit most of the system stuff in one file and imho the two ways of preventing a module from being loaded in the else so simple config file doesn't really fit in.
I don't have a problem with both arrays staying since I don't have to look at them all the time but it just feels weird to me.

Problem in dreamweaver - image file and swf file.

Hi friends.....nice to be here.
Ahnm, lets start from the beginning! J I am new here and my english isnt so good, but i´ll try to explain what was happening with my webpage using Dreamweaver CS3 and a swf file…..Im sure that for most of you it’s a basic problem with a basic solution, but I didn’t find one…..and I´m new to CS3 too ! J
I´m creating a simply webpage using 2 frames: Top frame and main frame, but my problem was in top frame.
I created an image (like a banner) to fill this frame, not background, an image with name company, phone number etc…..My intention was to put some buttons (using flash) in this image……..but NOT in all image…, so I split the image in two….half jpeg file, half a swf file…….joining this images on dreamweaver later…..
So, on dreamweaver works great……there everthing works perfect…..but on I.E, an BORDER appears, separating the two images
Well…..better than words, here is the images:
On dreamweaver

1) You don't need frames. Why Frames are bad for you and your site visitors.

2) Don't use Flash for navigation. Many people can't use Flash. What will they do?
3) Learn HTML and CSS code first. This will make DW much easier to learn.
Start here:

How can I share autocomplete lists between sheets and/or files?

I'm drafting up a P&L spreadsheet in which I keep lists of categories, vendors, etc. I'd like to keep separate sheets for each month; the problem is that once I start a new sheet, Numbers seems to "forget" the vendor names, and I have to reenter the entire name again instead of the first three letters or so... I think for obvious reasons I don't want to put a whole year of order records on a single sheet ;-)
Is there a way to preserve or export lists of field values so that they can be shared between sheets (or even files?)

Appreciate the answer Wayne, although it wasn't the one I wanted to read... I had already embedded a hidden list in *every* table in each sheet; needless to say it didn't improve the performance one bit.
Turns out that the lists aren't shared between tables either (same heading, same column) that I used to create expandable categories. Would be a nice feature to recognize a column heading and propagate the autocomplete lists, and maybe even be able to link these across tables, sheets *and* files!
Probably too late for iWork '12 ('13, '14?) , but I filed an enhancement request to be able to refer to "file foo, sheet C, table 3" column contents.
