D11 Cross-Platform Shockwave Issue

I just did a build of a Shockwave version of a freeware game
that I created in Director.
I'm using the DCR and HTML page generated by Director 11, but
while it loads and works just fine on a Mac, it doesn't load on my
Windows computer (or on my Mac under Parallels or BootCamp). On
Windows, it just hangs there with an empty progress bar. Forever.
You can see it in action here:

Thing is, I've done a Shockwave build of another freeware
game of mine and it works fine on my Windows computer. You can see
it here:

Anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

camino was loading content, then informing that a new plugin has to

funny games, btw :O)
installing the new shockwave plugin means that all the havok
stuff out there is lost, which i don't want. at least not now.

what definitely sucks. poor guys!
hmm, not the right place i guess - but as it seems that for
me director is history - are you using unity pro or indie?
and is indie good enough? i downloaded the trial (by the way
no problem ADOBE.... can you hear me ADOBE?! no, not listening
anyway...) and it's quite impressing, but i don't have the time to
get into it as much as i want to. so what do you think, how long
does it take to put a project from director to unity with about
20000 lines of lingo...
hmm, maybe a silly question, but i definitely have to look
for an alternative to director. and any information is very much
appreciated, especially as you are a director and unity user. by
the way, the unity-community seems to be very friendly and
helpful.

Old Macromedia - Adobe cross platform font issues

This message is more directed to Adobe.
I am aware that currently OpenType fonts are cross platform compatible but only with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
However, my primary workspace is Fireworks-Flash. There are serious cross platform issues with fonts - I have looked at truetype, postscript and opentype and they all have issues translating onto PC - many of the styles are not available.
In our studio I design on Mac but our Flash developers are on PC - our final renders and review renders always need to happen on Mac as a result of this cross platform issue. This is a little inefficient.
When is Adobe planning on resolving this issue?

"I am aware that currently OpenType fonts are cross platform
compatible but only with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign."
No, they are fully cross-platform compatible. The Adobe products you
mention, along with a very few others, are the only applications
capable of taking full advantage of the advanced features available in
some opentype fonts. And even the three products you mention don't all
necessarily support open-type in the same way.
"However, my primary workspace is Fireworks-Flash. There are serious
cross platform issues with fonts - I have looked at truetype,
postscript and opentype and they all have issues translating onto PC -
many of the styles are not available."
If you are using the same application version on both platforms, you
should have identical functionality. If you're using an older version
of Fireworks.
The only cross-platform style issue with TT or T1 fonts is that
Windows doesn't recognize any styles other than Regular, Bold, Italic,
and Bold Italic. Also, there's a font menu difference between MacOS
and Windows. Mac display all available styles, whereas Windows only
displays the family name, and you have to select the variants from
somewhere else (typically "B" "I" "U" buttons). SOME font families
from some vendors use the style function to define such variants as
Small Caps, Light, etc. MS products get ... confused.
"In our studio I design on Mac but our Flash developers are on PC -
our final renders and review renders always need to happen on Mac as a
result of this cross platform issue. This is a little inefficient."
If you're using different applications for design and rendering, and
their functionality is different, then you have a cross-application
compatibility issue. You didn't mention what applications or versions
are involved.
"When is Adobe planning on resolving this issue?"
It may be more a Microsoft issue than an Adobe issue. In addition to
the style limitations, There are no MS products that yet support
open-type features.
Although Adobe personnel do sometimes visit here, this is not a
"talk-to-Adobe' forum. Since your problem is application related, I'd
suggest taking it to the appropriate application forumsFireworks
General Discussion looks right.
And, as Bob said, you might also contact Adobe support directly with
your concerns.

Help! Cross Platform Projector issue

Hi all,
I am sure this has been a hot topic for years and I did do
various searches and was surprised not to find anything on it
quickly. Sorry if this has been discussed a lot, as I imagine it
has. We are able to make our functioning mac and win projector with
our win version of flash 8, but everytime I burn the cd on win, the
projector file does not know what to do with itself when trying to
launch back on mac.
Questions:
1. Does cross platform burning have to be performed on a Mac?
2. If so, does one need toast to do the cross platform
burning to make the mac and win projectors groovy on their
respective platforms? We have a brand new MacBook Pro - it seems
like it should have these capabilities built in at this point, but
not sure.
Any pointers here or to a technote would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Cross platform networking issue

Okay, my group consists of about three dozen Macs (most on 10.3.9, but about half a dozen on 10.4.3) and we are hooked up to a Windows-based network which uses Extreme-Z IP to serve up the shared volumes to the Mac users. Recently, the corporate IT folk upgraded the network file servers. Now we can connect to the new servers via the "Connect to Server..." dialog, however, on most of the machines, the new file servers don't appear when browsing the network in a Finder window (on a few machines they do show up). At first I thought this must be a Tiger vs. Panther issue, but I quickly discovered that most of the Panther machines have the same trouble. Anybody got any ideas why this would be an issue on some machines but not others?
Thanks in advance.
Dual 2.0GHz G5 Powermac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Here's an update: What I said in my first post was a little misleading. You can actually see the file servers from all the machines, but not in the way we used to be able to. Previously when browsing the network we could see the Appletalk zone as a folder on the network and all our file servers showed up in that folder. In addition to that, a folder called local would show up, and all our file servers would also appear in that. What I didn't realize is that folder exists on the Tiger machines as well, except it's called My Network. So we can browse to all the file servers that way (which I'm guessing represents Rendezvous?) but they don't show up on any machines in the Appletalk zone folder. My guess now is that this is an issue with the way the servers are configured. It's no longer a crucial issue (since everyone can get to the shares via the Local (or My Network) folder) but I would still like to know what's going on. Anybody got any insights?

Cross Platform Styling Issues

I am currently styling a site and am doing browser checks on both PC and Mac. With the mac version, which is what I am styling on, it appears to render content in a href slightly different, where it favors the bottom, and on the PC it favors the top. check out the green buttons here: http://kippdelta.web2.sundaramdesign.com/
If you check it on both PC and Mac, you should see the difference.
I'm sorry if this isn't better explained. Please let me know if further information is needed.

Cross platform development issue (32-bit and 64-bit)

We are developing an application which runs as a windows service on a Windows 2008 64-bit server; the service runs under the SYSTEM account. The development environment is Visual Studio 2008 using .NET 2.0, on Windows XP 32-bit.
The application runs queries against a remote Oracle 11g database. We have installed "ODAC for Oracle Clients version 11.1.06.21" on the development system and Oracle Client 11.1.0.7.0 from "11107_w2k8_x64_production_client" on the Server installing only the default selection from Oracle Windows Interfaces 11.1.0.7.0. The DLL deployed by our application is Oracle.DataAccess.dll version 2.111.6.20. The installed DLL on the Windows 2008 server is in D:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\client_1\ODP.NET\bin\2.x and is Oracle.DataAccess.dll version 2.111.7.0. There is only one Oracle Home on the Windows 2008 server.
Our windows service throws the following exception when run on the server:
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleInit.Initialize()
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection..cctor()
We also have a desktop based test program which is built in the same environment and with the same libraries. This application connects to the Oracle server and can run queries with no problems.

Hi,
A process hang can be caused by many different things.
1. What type of application are you deploying? Is this hosted (IIS ASP.NET) or client/server (Winform/console application)
2. Are you able to determine exactly how far the application gets when it appears to hang? Or do you observe this at process startup?
2A. Do you have any sort of application logging that can be turned on to determine where the application is hanging?
3. Are there any entries being written to the event viewer log that provide any additional information for that process around that time?
4. If the process starts up or this is hosted, you may consider taking an ADPLUS hang dump of the application process/worker process when it is considered hung. Inspecting the state of the threads may provide some clues.

IPhone Cross-platform Sync Issue

I sync as follows:
MS Exchange/Outlook 2007/Windows XP SP2 <--> Plaxo <--> iCal/Leopard <--> iPhone/1.1.3
All works well, except:
Calendar entries: Multi-day, all-day, non-recurring entries created in Outlook sync properly to Plaxo and iCal, but show up on the iPhone extended by one-day; e.g., an event spanning Jan 11-13 shows properly in Exchange, Plaxo and iCal, but shows up in the iPhone as Jan 11-14. When synced back to iCal, these events are NOT extended by one day. Events created in the iPhone and then synced back to iCal, Plaxo and Outlook do not exhibit this behavior. I've upgraded to the latest build of Plaxo, deleted the sync points and iCal calendars and started over, but it still does this. Is there some inconsistency in the Outlook data format that might be causing this? Everything is on Eastern Standard Time.
Thanks,

Fixed. Plaxo for Outlook update 3.8.0.64 fixed this so that all-day events sync properly. Thanks to Drew at Plaxo support forums for the info.

Cross platform issues with InDesign CS5 or earlier

Potential client would like me (designer on a Mac) to design print docs which they can then edit on their PCs. Would love to hear feedback from others about any cross-platform issues/best practices suggestions. Thanks!

No problem at all, the only thing you have to do is make sure you both have the same fonts in a flavour (Opentype) that you can both read. So when you send them a Indesign document using these fonts they should be able to open it up on a PC without getting a "missing fonts" warning. Once you've got that sorted you're away, I do exactly this all the time.
Oh and of course you must have the same version of Indesign! You can save back one version (or from CS5.5 to CS4) but it's not recommended for this type of workflow.

Issues when a cross platform android app is run on Blackberry 10 alpha simulator

I am facing problems in running a cross platform android App in blackberry 10 Alpha simulator.The App works fine when run in iphone,android devices.But when I run it in blackberry 10 it doesn't load the template files hence a blank screen.The project is based on backbone framework hence template files.Currently the files are local in my hard-disk. I am loading the templates using an ajax call. The logcat output generated of the same is listed below:- 02-08 05:30:51.861: D/CordovaLog(233525377): {"readyState":4,"responseText":"","status":404,"statusText":"error"}
I have added in config.xml file . Is there anything else I am missing to make the app run on blackberry 10?? I had the same issue with nook HD which was avoided by using super.appView.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true); in the onCreate method.But since blackberry uses 2.3.3 of Android,I am unable to add the same settings. Please let me know If I am missing any specific configuration related content for blackberry 10.Thanks

Hey Steve_web,
This issue can be caused when MAC address filtering is enabled on the Wi-Fi network, and the MAC address of the BlackBerry Playbook is not accepted. Try adding the MAC address of the BlackBerry Playbook to the accepted MAC address list for the Wi-Fi network and test.
The following article may be helpful as well:

External Hard Drive won't appear on PC (want cross platform)

I have an external USB Hard Drive. I formatted it using the Disk Utility, OS Format and Journaling. Did a small partition in case I needed a system boot drive. Now my sis needed to backup her laptop (Dell laptop), but the drive won't appear in My Computer, it recognizes there is a USB device on the lower task bar, but no drive anywhere.
Do I have to reformat? what steps do I need to make this USB drive cross-platform friendly?
Paul

Hi, Paul.
You may not want to reformat the drive as FAT-32 since there is a limit on the size of the partition, the maximum file size, and other issues, especially if her Dell's drive is formatted as NTFS (FAT-32 does not support NTFS extended attributes). FAT-32 is unsuitable for backing-up Mac OS X volumes as it cannot preserve the extended attributes (permissions, etc.) employed by Mac OS X.
It's really best if you each have your own external hard drive for backup, as part of implementing a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution, such as I use and detail in my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ. You also don't want one person inadvertently writing over another person's backups, which could happen if one is not careful. Furthermore, it is often easiest for recovery.
How one handles backup in cross-platform environments is tricky and depends on the native formats employed by the different computers involved, and whether backup will be performed over a network or by directly connecting backup drives to the computers one is backing up.
To enable her Dell to use the Mac-formatted drive, install Mediafour's MacDrive for Windows on the PC. MacDrive for Windows is probably the state-of-the-art application for enabling you to use Mac-formatted disks and hard drives on Windows-based PCs.
Good luck!

4.0 to ECC 6 Cross Platform

Hi Gurus,
I'll be performing a Heterogenous Copy (from 4.0 Oracle 8/ Sun -
> Win2003/SQL) and then will upgrade in to ECC 6.Since this will be a very heavy task for me, really appreciated it if someone who has experience can share with me in this cross platform environment.My Question :
1) Which is the best method to perform Hetero Copy:
a. Make the target system the same level (4.0) as the source system and then upgrade to 4.6D ext or
b. Upgrade the SAP on the source system (4.0 to 4.6D ext) and then do R3Load?
2) Which one is the best pre-upgrade before upgrading to ECC 6.0?
a. Upgrade to 4.6D ext or 4.7?
b. on the target system SQL 2000 SP4 or SQL 2005 SP2 (Still not confident with the SQL 2005 yet - too many issues )
c. On oracle level, theres no need to upgrade from 8 to 9.2 is it?
Is there any sapnotes/forum that I can refer too?
TQ

First advise: if this is a production system you will need to have certified migration consultant on-site - otherwise you will loose support for the target system and for all problems arising from that migration.

Since the kernel for 4.0 is LONG out of maintenance I suggest you upgraded to the latest available 46D_EXT kernel and do the R3load export with that one. This will make sure you will have the most recent kernel avoiding problems resulting out of an unpatched R3load.
> 2) Which one is the best pre-upgrade before upgrading to ECC 6.0?
>
> a. Upgrade to 4.6D ext or 4.7?
You can upgrade straight away from 4.0 to ECC 6.0 (now called ERP 6.0).
> b. on the target system SQL 2000 SP4 or SQL 2005 SP2 (Still not confident with the SQL 2005 yet - too many issues )
I would go for SQL 2005.
> c. On oracle level, theres no need to upgrade from 8 to 9.2 is it?
If you upgrade to ERP 6.0 you will NEED to upgrade to Oracle 10g before you can start the upgrade.

Template Cross-Platform - Version Differences

I created a template in Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac and sent it to
a programmer using Dreamweaver MX on WIndows and the formatting for
him is messed up. Divs aren't lining up where I put them. He sent a
screen shot of his directory (which matches mine) and of the
template within DW MX and the divs are out of place.
Is this issue based on OS cross-platform, DW 8 to MX and
differences in how those versions handle MX or some other issue?
Thanks,
Brian

HTML is HTML, you know? It wouldn't make any difference if
you were
creating on a Mac, a PC, or a Linux box.
But - DMX is a dumb bunny when it comes to any advanced
layout methods. I
imagine the problem you are seeing is due to DMX's inability
to render CSS
layouts properly. Is your colleague using DMX6.0 or 6.1? If
the former,
they should at the least update to the latter immediately,
although that may
not fix the problems either.
