Difference between fl and flash libraries?

(new to cs3 - java expert...)
I'm trying to write some action script to set the default
focus of a text component when the applications run...
It seems there is a fl.managers.FocusManager that
could/should do it... but for some reason, I cannot import that
package into my AS. I can import an arbitrary
flash.<something>.somthing.
Question - In the AS editor, there is a menu (plus sign (+)
icon) with all(?) the available packages/classes, languange
constructs, etc. Should I be able to use them all? Is there a
difference between "fl" and "flash" - assuming "fl" is for Flash
just like the product logo "fl"?
thanks a bunch.

The fl packages are top level classes based on ECMAScript,
while the
flash packages are specifically Flash Player APIs.
> for some reason, I cannot import
[fl.managers.FocusManager]
> into my AS
Are you writing timeline-based code, or a class file? Have
you tried
the sample code shown in the FocusManager entry of the
ActionScript 3.0
Language Reference?

Difference between FP7 and Flash Lite

can anybody tell me what the difference is between FP7 and
Flash Lite? I only want to view content not create it. Can Flash
Lite play embedded media players? (i had FP7 installed on my iPAQ
but i cannot view any of the embedded media players on the BBC News
website. Do i need Flash Lite instead of FP7, or as well as??)
thaks

Hi,
At a time in the past we provided FP7 for PPC devices and
some consumer electronics like the Wii because this was easier to
integrate than Flash.. or met the customers requirements better.
For the past year we have been transitioning OEM customers to
Flash Lite and this is our goal ongoing.
We have launched a new product called Flash Lite
Distributable Player to address the needs of the Windows Mobile
developer community. To be clear PPC is not supported for web
browsing unless your web browser ships with Flash Lite support.

Differences between 2004 and 2005 libraries

Hi all,
where can i find information on the differences between the 2004 and 2005 .dll files? Can someone post a link or URL to it?
Thanks

Noor,
If you are talking about the DI & UI Api the best place would be to look at the help files. The new objects, methods, etc. for 2005 are indicated in the help files and that way you'll know what new functionality you have.

I've never seen flex for sell.. how do I obtain a copy of it and whats the difference between it and flash?

Hey;
I've heard great stuff about flex but I've never seen it for sale. I've read that it is better for real time programs than flash. I don't know if thats true or not. What does flex offer that flash doesn't and how is the flex language better than the flash language? Or am I totally confused and is flex like an addon to flash??? any guidance would be really appreciated. I'm working on something Object oriented that needs to be in real time so I'm looking for the best program that offers that.

I'm pretty new at all thsi stuff too, and all these terms killed me for my first few weeks in this arena, but I've got my feet under me now.
Flex is an opensource SDK provided by Adobe (previously Macromedia). It used to be something they sold, but they opensourced it, Hoorah!!
Flash is the set of APIs that start with flash.*, and you can fully create flash animations with just the standard flash APIs.
Flex comes with a ton of very useful components, features, and functionalities that are built on top of flash. You should definitely download and get familiar with flex.
The flex api's start with mx.*
Flex also provides the ability to compile MXML documents into flash. MXML documents make it very easy to build Flash, full with animations, customizations, etc. in an HTML-like format. Take a look at the component explorer link below and you'll see the MXML generated for the example components. You can copy and paste that MXML (simple looking stuff eh?) and get a working app that you can expand on and play with as you learn.
Here are a few helpful links to get you moving in the right direction:

What is the difference between SWF and F4V in the context of Streaming or progressive Download?

Hello everybody,
I am absolutely a beginner in working with Captivate and furthermore my technological know how is not that good.
So, I have problems to understand if the export formats SWF and F4V are both capable to be published in the Internet as streaming video and as progressive Download? Well so, I do not really understand the difference between streaming and progessive download either?
Furthermore I was asking myself if this issue depends on how I imported flash videos (there are these two options) in my Captivate project during the production phase?
I would be very thankful for some helping information!
Greetings,
Mareike the beginner

Welcome to our community
I'm not certain I fully understand the differences myself, but will toss out what I believe to be true about the formats. Hopefully, if I'm incorrect in my bellief, someone with more definitive knowledge will chime in.
It was explained to me a couple of years back and is my understanding that "streaming" only applies to a video based format such as F4V, FLV and it doesn't apply to SWF. With SWF, you may specify a preload value. So when the SWF transmits from the web server to the PC, a certain percentage has to be received before play begins. But that's not streaming. It's preloading.
For streaming to occur, the web server establishes a communication channel between the server and the destination PC. This channel is monitored to see what speed is in use. Only enough information is then transmitted to be comfortable at that speed. If the speed improves during the connection, the server serves data at a faster rate. If the connection degrades, the information transmitted is also scaled back so as to accommodate the lower speed.
With SWF, after it has all been downloaded, a savvy user is able to poke around in their temporary internet files and save the SWF for play later. With streaming, this isn't possible because as the stream is viewed, it evaporates from memory.
Seriously hoping others will chime in here to confirm or deny this.
Cheers... Rick

Differences between standard and pro versions

I was reading the comparision of these two Acrobat versions and for Pro it says:
Edit and enhance photos to add to your PDF communications with Adobe Photoshop® CS5.
Quickly transform static PowerPoint slides into compelling, interactive PDF presentations with Adobe Presenter
Rapidly combine screen recordings, narration, video, slides, and more into a rich media experience with Adobe Captivate® 5
Does that mean that the Pro version includes Photoshop, Presenter and Captivate programs as well? Or, what are the differences? As an aside, the new look and feel of the Adobe website is confusing at best. Seems geared to being flashy, not useful.
Regards, David

Acrobat does not included those other packages. One of the pages that always struck me funny (maybe I have a twisted mind) but has this artistic background is the updates page. The background looks like a lacy bra to me. It is the first thing that comes to mind every time I see it. That is a problem with abstract images (that are typically unnecessary and waste bandwidth), that a lot is in the eye of the beholder. Actually, I have heard from many others that also see the bra.
OK, back to Acrobat. There are several aspects of Acrobat that allow you to have links to the other products built in, but they are not included. The page at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html?promoid=JIJYS provides some info, but a lot is missing. For instance there are differences with PDF Optimize and Reduce File Size I think (sorry, I do not have Std to check). One important one that is part of pro is the preflight option. Apparently Std does not include portfolios or allow PDF comparison according to the chart.
If you are into forms, then Std apparently will do them as AcroForms (my preference, partially because of familiarity), but does not include Designer if that was your preference. Some of the enabling for Reader is not available in Std. Also, Std does not allow embedding Flash. Std is limited for some of the products that include PDF Maker (not a big one for me, but might be important to you).
That is a quick summary based on the chart. However, be aware there are some other features that the chart does not seem to cover. For the difference between Std and Pro, I would suggest getting Pro. The big hit is the initial cost of the product, not the step up to Pro. In a business plan consider the time that might be wasted trying to do some of the things in Pro that are not in Std. Those are the types of issues to consider. Many folks consider the cost to be large, and for a small business it is. However, in the long term it may be worth the cost.
Keep in mind that many large CAD packages in engineering run about $30,000 for a single license, half the cost of the engineer that would use it. Some other tools are about $15,000. In that view, Acrobat is cheap (except for cheapskates like me).

What are the differences between api and sdk

Hi,
Could anybody clarify for me what are the difference between API and SDK? I googled for the answer, and couldn't find any thing on this topic.
Many thanks in advance.
javasfan

Is it correct to say that "a SDK includes all the
APIs"? or "API sits on top of the SDK"?It's a bit weird to say either. First, the JDK doesn't include all APIs. Just the J2SE core API. Others, like 3rd party libraries or J2EE are not included. Second, if you mean the API docs, they're also not included IIRC.
It'd technically only be correct to say "the SDK provides an API", I guess. The example is very lame, but: if the SDK is a machine, the API is the sum of its buttons and levers and gauges and intakes and outlets and exhausts. The API docs are the manual.

What is the difference between JDK and J2ee

Could someone explain, in simple terms, what is the difference between JDK and J2ee. I am trying to understand the difference.
THanks

Could someone explain, in simple terms, what is the
difference between JDK and J2ee. I am trying to
understand the difference.You can practice on this one first. What's the difference between chalk and cheese? No just kidding.
A JDK is a set of tools for Java development including compiler, runtime system and standard libraries. J2EE is the enterprise version of the Java technology platform (it's one of three). To use it you download the proper JDK's.

Whatz the difference between jdk and jre

i would like to know the difference between jdk and jre.

Yes JRE is Java Run Time Environment. The java programming language adds the portability by converting the source code to byte code version which can be interpreted by the JRE and gets converted to the platform specific executable ones. Thus for different platforms one has corresponding implementation of JRE. But JRE has to meet the specification JVM (Java Virtual Machine) Concept that serves as a link between the Java libraries and the platform specific implementation of JRE. Thus JVM helps in the abstraction of inner implementation from the programmers who make use of libraries for their programmes.
The JDK(Java Developmental Tool kit) comes along with java libraries and JVM embedded in it. Apart from these it comes along with the utility tools for byte code compilation "javac", Executing the byte codes through java programmes through "java" and many more utilities found in the binary directory of java. Speaking practically JDK is essential for developers, which comes along with library packages to develop Software programmes. While JRE is minimal set of programmes which executes the java class files developed by the software developers.

Difference between Java and Perl?

I'm new to Java and was wondering what is the difference between Java and Perl. Other than Java has to be compiled and Perl does not. Is one better than the other? Here is a link to my website. The languaged used is Perl. Can Java be used to write a program like this.
http://www.i2r2.co.nr

Perl - interpreted
Java - compiled (essentially -- there is no eval statement)
Perl - lots functionality built into the bare language
Java - more functionality moved into libraries
(both have huge libraries available though -- and Java's core language seems to get bigger with each new release)
Perl - loosely typed
Java - strongly typed
IMHO:
Perl - Baroque ornate language good for quick scripts
Java - Calvinist spartan language good for huge projects
I can't think of anything else to say that can't be expressed in one-liners.

What is the difference between Firefox and Firefox os please. I have a Samsung galaxy s3 mini what one would you recommend would be better for my phone

What is the difference between Firefox and Firefox os, and what one is better for the Samsung galaxy s3 mini, Please could you recommend which one is the best and most suitable for my phone please. Many thanks Michelle Petch

Thank you for your question.
Firefox is basically a browser.And Firefox OS is an Operating System.You can install Firefox in your SGS3 just like an android application.But if you want Firefox operating system on it. then you have to flash the ported Firefox OS on your device. Then it will be a completely different standalone operating system.you cannot install android applications on it.
To read more technical difference read:
Firefox OS:

Firefox Browser:

Hope this clears your query.Thank you

Difference between Null and null?

What is the difference between null and NULL?
When is each used?
Thanks,

veryConfused wrote:
There is a null in java, but no NULL. null means no value. However, when assigning value, the following is different:Although the empty String has no special role. Null means, the referential type is not assigned (doesn't refer) to a specific object. The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.
