Do I have the right software for this?

I am a longtime user of Macromedia Dreamweaver MX and have just recently upgraded to Adobe CS4. I have an existing webpage that I plan to completely redesign. The website content itself is simple but I would like to make the page design template much more visually appealing and dynamic. My inspiration is http://www.wickedthemusical.com/page.php#, I really like the uneven borders of the page and the turning gears. What I would truly like to do is create my page with appearing and disappearing filagrees surrounding the basic content. Now, the question: I had just begun learning about layers in Dreamweaver MX but see that they are no longer available in CS4. Am I able to achieve the kind of effects I want to with CS4? And if so, can someone give me a headstart? I realize that the actual process will be in depth but if I can just get a general direction, I should be able to figure most of it out myself. I appreciate any help.

If you are asking how to do something with Dreamweaver CS4, then the Dreamweaver forum is the place to go. If you are asking what software you can use to design something like the website you mention, then this is the right place. People can recommend what is the best software and/or methods to do what you want.

    You need a PDF editor, at the high end use Adobe's Acrobat Professional, at the low end use the editing features in Preview (pre-loaded on your iMac). However you should probably look at the Mac App Store, you will find many of PDF editing applications. You simply need to find one that suits your needs.

  • Do I have the right software for my needs?

    I have an issue with just jumping on forums and asking for help with code and build assistance, how do i do this or that.
    My point in this visit is because of some frustration with designing a simple flash vid. I have no idea what Adobe product I should be using because the site poorly defines the products they have. All I want is a video that fades through a few pictures on a loop. Something too heavy for a gif.
    The learning video's go right past this level of basics into application building and the help files are so adjoined to hard code, I feel like Flex is not the right thing to be using.
    Can someone give me a suggestion as to what software I should look at OR a better push in the direction of learning how to use this builder. Please excuse my stubbornness to envelop myself in this software but I have less time than i care to admit.
    TIA!
    William
    If you wanted some details on what i am stuck with, for starters, i have to states (an image in each) and i'm trying to make a fade transition between the two. What i am having trouble finding is how to implement a timer that automatically activates that transition.    ....ok, i sunk to my predefined low ;p

    Outstanding! Thanks for the assistance.
    I'm all ears for any other suggestions that anyone else has.

  • HELP!! Problems syncing - do I have the right software for our two different devices?

    We have had real trouble synicing my other half's Zire.  The computer recognizes him as a user, moves horrendously slowly and then no information shows up in his Palm files on the Mac.  It's all still in his Palm, but the sync has obviously failed.  I downloaded software for my M500, because in our previous life as PC people, I'd been told that that software covered both devices.  Was I mistaken?  Do I need to remove it and download different software?  Or do I need to have two separate software programs on our Mac and is that even possible without them cancelling each other out?
    Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • HT5191 the itunes library .itl fileis locked on a locked disk, or you dont have the write permission for this file.  this is what it says every time i try and open itunes why ?

    the itunes library .itl fileis locked on a locked disk, or you dont have the write permission for this file.  this is what it says every time i try and open itunes why ?

    Sounds like a permission issue.
    Navigate to the iTunes Music Library.itl file
    The path should be Username/Music/iTunes/
    Right click on the iTunes Library.itl and select Get Info
    The window will open on the left hand side. Go to the Sharing and Permissions section at the bottom
    Click the padlock to allow changes and enter your Mac logon password
    Select yourself and make sure you have Read & Write selected. Click padlock to lock it again
    Close the Get Info window and try and start iTunes

  • Is Structured FM12 the right solution for this problem?

    I've been tasked with solving a tricky problem at my office. Briefly: We've got a technical manual that needs to be printed each time we sell a piece of equipment. Currently, the manual is produced using a combination of MS Access DB and a convoluted Word doc that uses Mail Merge to pull data from the Access DB into the appropriate fields. The DB has a hundred tables or so, and some of the tables are "calculated" values - i.e. the value in the fields is calculated based on values entered in other tables within the DB. The Word doc uses some kind of "if-then-else" logic to determine which tables to use for which fields when building the doc. This whole setup is currently maintained by the engineering, sales, and marketing departments.
    We currently use FM11 (unstructured) in the Technical Writing department, and my boss is asking me to figure out a way to migrate the Access/Word doc described above to a format we can use so we can take ownership of the documentation process for this particular line of equipment. I suspect the variables involved here go way beyond what we can do with conditional text and variables within FM, but I'm wondering if Structured FM (either 11 or 12) is more suited to this project, either by using some sort of conduit between FM and an SQL DB, or directly within FM using conditinal text, variables, or some other organizational function present in either FM11 or FM12.
    Any guidance here would be appreciated. I'm not even sure what questions to ask at this point to get a proper shove in the right direction.

    I love this line: Get that SQL queries into XML directly or into CSV and transform the CSV into XML via XSLT. Reminds me of that bit in "Good Morning, Vietnam" where Robin Williams goes through the routine about the Vice President: "Well, sir, since the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep his ETA on the QT? Otherwise, he might get KIA and then we'd all be on KP." And now, back to work...
    I'm going to try to answer all of the questions above, in order, and add a little info where appropriate.
    TW dept may or may not take over all maintenance of the doc. That's one of the recommendations I'm tasked with providing. My current thinking is, engineering should remain in charge of entering relevant tool data to the data repository, sales should provide TW with a "spec sheet" of what was sold, and TW should then use the specs to "build" the document for customer release.
    Will a DB still be used? Unknown. That seems the best way to catalog and access the data, but I'm open to alternatives if there are any that make sense.
    I am totally unfamiliar with structure, XML, DITA, HTML, etc. Literally 100% of my experience with FM has been in the unstructured workspace. This whole structured FM inquiry was inspired by a blurb in my "Unstructured FrameMaker 11" book (from p474: "If you need to use complex combinations of condition tags, consider setting up a workflow in the structured interface of FrameMaker. Structured documents allow you to create versions based on attributes, which are easier to use and more powerful than expressions.") A quick Google of this blurb didn't turn up much useful information, but this seems to jive with Lynne's input above re: attributes.
    Data is not currently in SQL - it's in Access DB. We can migrate to SQL if necessary - that's one of the answers I'm supposed to be providing.
    The reason this is all currently being done in Word is because that's what the Sales & Engineering departments understand, and currently they're responsible for these docs. I'm sure this started out as a simple, nerdy solution to a small problem - some engineer didn't want to maintain two separate Word docs when he could create a database and then use mail merge to automagically build the same thing. Since then, it's grown to hundreds of tables and thousands of possible permutations.
    We already have FrameMaker installations in the department. If we can do this with FM11, great, but if not, no big deal - boss has already said he wants to move to FM12 as soon as possible. In other words, purchasing software - unless it's something additional needed to make all this work - isn't really a budgetary consideration.
    As mentioned, I have no skills with using FM for any kind of structured project, but I'm willing to learn if it seems like a good solution. Just need to figure out how to proceed.
    Thanks for your input - looking forward to hearing what else you folks have to say.

  • Do i have the right equipment for CCNA-Wireless?

    Hello community i am Adan Ramirez, an aspiring Cisco Tech, and I'm trying to get the right equipment for the ccna wireless.
    Here is my shopping list:
    1. 2 Cisco LWAP 1252
    3. NME-WLC6-K9 module card
    Here is what i already have at home:
    1. 1841(2x) - iOS 12.4(24)
    2. 2811(2x) - iOS 15.something something...
    3. 3560 - iOS 15.something something
    4. 2960 - iOS 15.something something 
    Problem:  I don't know if the NME needs the latest iOS, the one i saw on eBay says it's version 4.2 something something.  I don't have three thousand dollars to buy a brand new module with iOS 7.0 or $ 12,000 to buy a 5500 WLC.  I'm a broke college student T_T, help!
    and thanks!

    Hi,
    This is sufficient for your CCNA wireless studies. Probably I would add a VM which can run WCS.
    If you really need a WLC, you can buy 4400 series controller (can run upto 7.0.x) for ~200-300 USD. This is the version tested in CCIEv2.0 lab exam as well.
    This is the Cisco forum you should follow for this CCNA-Wireless studies

  • Is JavaFX the right solution for this scenario...

    Hi,
    Is JavaFX the right choice for the following implementation choice I have to make? (see below for the requirement)
    Requirements:
    1. Provide a way to visualise within a web application an entity relationship type diagram (i.e. nodes with relationships between them). The backend database will hold the topology relationship. So to visualise this on a web application will need the ability to draw rectangles/lines/text etc.
    2. Provide a way to allow the use to trigger "add a new node", or "edit info in this node". For example a right hand context sensitive menu for example.
    3. Ideally will scale as the user resizes the browser window
    4. Would like the main functionality of the application to remain web based (is a Ruby on Rails application in fact), but have the visualization of the diagram render within the web application as transparently as possible.
    Options / Issues:
    * Issues I've struck with some investigation I've done is that whilst the <canvas> tag looks good for Mozilla/Firefox etc, it does not seem to have support on InternetExplorer. Hence cross-browser compatibility seems to be a real issue for the JavaScript type solutions from what I can see. This is why I thought JavaFX may be good?
    * Options therefore seem to me to be:
    - javascript (e.g. <canvas> tag) => cross-platform issue
    - JavaFX / Applet => (this is what I'm asking about)
    - Microsoft => costs $$ for development environment etc
    - AIR / Flex / Flex => ??? costs $$ again I think
    Regards
    Greg

    thanks - I'm still a little confused re their products and which would fit best so I've sent them some questions (below if you're interested)
    Hello,
    Could you please assist me in understanding which of your products would satisfy my needs. In fact (a) whether JGraph itself would and if not, or if it's not ideal, (b) which other product would.
    REQUIREMENTS:
    1. Provide a way to visualise within a web application a connectivity type diagram (i.e. nodes with relationships between them, a network connectively type of diagram).
    2. The server side (i.e. web application with database) will hold the topology relationship. HTTP type interfaces off the web application can be developed to provide the client side visualizing component with the topology data in the required format (assume this is XML)
    3. As well as just visualizing in the browser there would need to be a way for user to trigger a context sensitive "add a new node", or "edit info in this node". For example a right hand context sensitive menu for example.
    4. Ideally the diagram will scale as the user resizes the browser window
    5. Would like the main functionality of the application to remain web based , but have the visualization of the diagram render within the web application as transparently as possible. The the visualizing component would just take topology data and intelligently display this.
    6. DESIRABLE: Basic automated layout would be nice, or as a desirable (depending on cost) more sophisticated auto-mated layout.
    QUESTIONS:
    As well as your recommendation re which product would suite I had some specific questions which I would appreciate clarification on:
    Q1 - I assume if I have a web backend that can deliver topology inforrmation in an appropriate XML format via a HTTP REST type GET call that this could be used as a the source of data for a jGraph visualisation running within an Applet?
    Q2 - If running within an Applet, can jGraph cater for a right hand menu option off the nodes/links on the graph, that I could use to trigger other calls back to the backend? (e.g. to trigger an Add New Node call)
    Q3 - Following on from Q2 scenario, if I trigger an add new node scenario, if I wanted to visualise the form to type in the attributes for the new node, could this be handled within the applet by jGraph, or would this be a case of just adding your own Swing based dialogs to handle this?
    Q4 - Do the basic JGraph do any basic layout without having to go up to the layout Pro package (which I think costs if using it commercially).
    Q5 - If the answer to Q4 is No, how difficult would it be using the base JGraph library to do a basic layout? Is this doable/recommended? i.e. how would one "layout" the diagram if using only the base JGraph component? (noting from my requirements I'm really after a component I could send my topology information to in XML form and have it just visualise it for me)
    Q6 - Running the visualiation in an Applet in a browser, is the typical usage one where all changes to topology are made as calls to backend? i.e. or is there an approach where one would allow users to make changes to the topology within the applet and build up all the changes here on the client, and then at some point synch these back to the backend? (I'm assuming the keep it simple approach would be not to do this)
    Q7 - Is there a sample application/project with source code that implements a JGraph in applet/browser talking to web backend for data?
    Q8 - How does JGraphPro & mXGraph fit into the picture re solving my requirements in the most cost effective manner

  • A friend gave me his iPod touch 4th gen to update from 4.2.1 to ios6.0.1 I don't want this iPod associated with my account. Just want to have the latest software for him. What should I do?

    I want to update this iPod without losing all of my friends music and apps. What should I do?

    To update
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
    Identifying iPod models
    Since you are stuck at 4.2.1 you may have a 2G iPod.
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
