Discuss: Preloading, How & When

This is a discussion about preloading with flash, not just
making a preloader that waits for the movie to load and then plays
it. This is about loading stuff behind the curtains and then using
it later, so the user doesn't even have to wait when they click
something.
Here is an article that talks about this, but from a slightly
different view than most of us are interested in, I think:
http://www.jonathanboutelle.com/mt/archives/2004/08/latency_must_di.html
From a technical perspective how do you actually preload
images/xml/swf/movies without using them directly? What is a good
way to plan, what and when to preload?
Only help I've found from adobe is this method of "parking"
swf:s

Got any better ideas than that?
Have you tried any solutions for this and how did it work
out?
Let's get some answers, experiences and opinions in
here!

On my 55sl417u, you can just plug an optical cable from a port on the back of the TV into the receiver. The TV sends all of the sound down the optical cable. Then you just have to turn the volume on the TV all the way down. Pretty easy.

    You could just try changing your Input Sources under System Preferences>Language & Text:
    But I kind of doubt that's going to work. It may be a hardware problem or a system problem. If you take it into Apple they might be able to determine which and might advise a reinstallation of System software. I would take it to an Apple Store or an AASP but, first, make sure that you have a backup just in case they suggest a clean install of the system.

  • How / When Does a Device Jump from the 2.4 GHz Network to the 5.0 GHz Network

    I understand -- through another thread that I started -- that the Guest Network will be both 2.4 GHz as well as 5.0 GHz....I would like to understand how / when does a device jump from the 2.4 GHz network to the 5.0 GHz network as I understand that: the 2.4 GHz network is slower but has greater range relative to the 5.0 GHz network.
    Thx...

    A device will connect to either the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band based on its own capabilities and distance in relation to the router.
    So, if you have a 5 GHz capable device that is in close proximity to the router, it will connect at 5 GHz.  If that device moves a few rooms away from the router, it will switch over to the 2.4 GHz band since that signal will be stronger....and likely faster at that location.
    Think of 5 GHz as a "same room" connection or "line-of-sight" deal. It might be OK through one wall....if it is thin.
    You do have an option to assign a separate name to the 5 GHz band in AirPort Utility. Once you have done that, simply "point" the device at the network with the 5 GHz name. Some users swear by this and some swear at this.
    The downside to doing this......the device will likely try to hang on to the 5 GHz connection if it moves a few rooms away from the router.....at a location where the 2.4 GHz signal is stronger and likely faster.
    Again, thanks for the very helpful response.
    It occurs to me from reading the above that it makes sense to let the device (using your words) connect to either the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band based on its capabilities and distance in relation to the router as I can see / understand the downside and issue of manually pointing to or selecting  a specific network.
    The reason that I purchased an Apple router is the hope that it will work better than some of the other routers I have tried as far as the 5 GHz / 2.4 GHz dual banding is concerned because in most of these cases I have had to disable the 5 GHz band to maintain a reliable internet connection...hopefully the Aiport Extreme will not require me to do so [i.e. it will work]!
    With respect to *BOTH* the Primary Network and the Guest Network being dual band I can only conclude that this work because there are essentially two separates networks [i.e. 10.o.x.x and 172.16.x.x] that are using the send / receive configuration capabilities.
    Thx...

    No, the serial number goes with the product. You should deactivate all your installed copies before selling it. Also, if you've used it qualify for upgrade pricing on a later version you can't sell it. Well, you could but the new owner won't be able to install it.

  • How do I get iPad working?  Just says, "iPad is disabled"  It is telling my to connect to iTunes but how when it won't let me do anything?

    How do I get my iPad off of "Disabled"?  It is telling me to connect to iTunes but not sure how when it won't let me do anything on my iPad?

    When you connect to iTunes do you see the iPad in the sidebar and if you click on your iPad name do you see the summary tab on the right? If you do, click on the Restore button.
    If you see the iTunes logo and the USB cable on the iPad screen, you are in recovery mode. Read this for more information.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Design Mode Preloading alert when upgrading from SDK 3.6 to 4.5.1

    I am getting an alert in Flash Builder while I am in the process of upgrading my application from 3.6 to 4.5.1.  The alert is titled "Design Mode Preloading" and includes the following text:
    "Preparing the design mode for this MXML is taking longer than usual, likely due to the complexity of the layout..."  Then I am asked whether I want to continue the preloading.
    I did not get this alert in the same Flash Builder instance when building my application with SDK 3.6.  As such, I am uncertain if this issue is a product of Flash Builder or the SDK.
    Has anyone faced this same issue?  If so, were you able to resolve it, and how?
    Thanks as always!
    Lee
    **Origininally posted in FlashBuilder AForum**

    I continue to get this error.  Could an employee please comment?
    My application is data-centric and contains over 100 DataGrids.  I do not know if this matters.  In Flex 3.6 this error does not occur.  Only once the app is converted to 4.5.1.
    Thanks,

  • Preloader Stuck When Rewinded

    Hi,
    My .fla file takes a long time to load, which is evident
    through my preloader. So when I test my movie (ctrl + enter) it
    goes straight to the first frame of my movie, but when I right
    click and click on rewind it goes to my preloader which is at 100%
    and it just stays there forever. Then when I right click again and
    click on play, my movie works but then my cursor feature doesn't
    work properly. When my movie plays after rewinded, I have two
    cursors appearing, my own designed cursor as well as the
    normal/custom arrow cursor showing.
    Here is my preloader code on frame 1 of my main timeline:
    t = _root.getBytesTotal()
    l = _root.getBytesLoaded()
    p = Math.round ( (l/t) * 100 )
    _root.percentLoaded.text = p;
    Continuation of preloader code on frame 2 of my main
    timeline:
    if (this.getBytesLoaded() >= this.getBytesTotal()) {
    gotoAndPlay("movie");
    else { //loaded is less, keep looping
    gotoAndPlay(1);
    And here is my mouse AS on the a separate layer (all the way
    through) on my main timeline:
    cursor_mc;
    startDrag("_root.cursor_mc", true);
    Mouse.hide();
    Any ideas on how to make this work better?
    Thanks again

    Hey Joanna,
    That right click and rewind thing is, as far as I know just a
    feature of the
    flash player. When you click it, it goes to frame 1 and
    stops. (I could be
    wrong, I've never really looked into it.)
    If you really don't like it, there are ways to eliminate the
    "right click->
    rewind" functionality altogether, but an easy fix is to put
    a:
    play();
    line under the line:
    _root.percentLoaded.text = p;
    That should solve it.
    The earlier pause thing is a bit more tricky. I'm not quite
    sure, but the
    first thing I'd try is to change the code from an
    onPress=function(), to an
    onRelease=function(). Also, I kind of think it should be:
    pause.onPress=function(){
    not:
    this.onPress=function(){
    Give that a try.
    Cheers,
    Brock
    (By the way - I really like the rotate tween on the resume
    button.
    Actually, I really like all the animations. Really cool
    stuff.)

  • I have an apple id for my itunes and want my wife to be able to access it on her ipad but not sure how when her id is different?

    I have an apple id for my itunes on my computer not a mac......and want my wife to be able to access the music I purchase on her ipad....but not sure how she can do it when her ipad has her own apple id and it says she would have to use my apple id.....any suggestions?

    You can use one account with iTunes on your Mac, and different account(s) with the Mac App Store (for buying/downloads apps or OS updates for your Mac), iCloud (System Preferences > iCloud) and Messages (Messages > Preferences, or command-comma)
