Hi daslicht,
im also very interrested to know the answer.
But im afraid they wont because it uses code from other proprietary tools.
And even if the community get flash catalyst source code, it will be useless (in a sens) mainly because the synergy with other Adobe Tools will not be maintained. And for me it was the main power of Flash Catalyst.
And knowing that, i think it is more easy for Apache community to create a new tool from scratch not linked to Adobe's tooling chain.
It could be a Flex app!!
For you information, the design view from Flash Builder has also been discontinued by Adobe. But in that case its a flex app incorporated in Flash Builder so theres good chances that Adobe will donate it to Apache community.
So why not use the design view as a base for a Flash Catalyst like tool? by making it a standalone tool or designers.

  • @Adobe, do you intend to contribute Flash Catalyst as Open Source Project ?

    Hello,
    in the recent Whitepaper* you write that you no longer develop Flash Catalyst.
    Wouldnt it be great if you make it open source (contribute to Apache as well?)
    or sell it to another developer so that it can be continued to be developed ?
    I think many people will totally agree with this and would be happy to continue using
    Flash Catalyst to visually built/prototype engaging GUI for the Apache Flex Framework.
    What do you think ?
    Best Regards
    Marc
    Flash Catalyst
    Flash Catalyst CS5.5 is the last release of Flash Catalyst.
    At this time, it will not be updated to work with Flex SDK 4.6 or any Apache Flex releases nor will it be included in future versions of the Adobe Creative Suite software offerings.

    JLundan,
    I want to thank you for responding to the thread I started on the forum at java.sun.com. Your solution to my problem of needing to print the code of the html pages that the file I included generates was just what I was looking for. However, I have some further questions to ask, if you don't mind. To clarify my task I should say that your rephrasing of the problem is accurate: "You wan't to display the contents of the HTML file that the web server produces in response of client's request?"
    Yes, this is what I need to do, but also it needs to display the source code of that html file that the server produces in response to the client's request. Also, in this case, I am the client requesting that the server return some html file, and I'm not sure where the server is. But the webserver.java file that I shared on the forum is on my local machine. I was wondering if I could modify this webserver.java file at my home so that any html file the server returns to me would automatically display the source code. This is a school project of mine and I am stuck on this one thing here.
    Further, where would I put the "foo.html" file so it can be written to?
    FileOuputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("foo.html");
    fos.write(bytes);
    fos.close();
    Thanks so much for your help. I look forward to your response, at your convenience.
    Regards

  • Flex Open Source SDK doesn't contain spark.wireframe skin or modules?

    Hello, I am curious if the Flex Open Source SDK no longer contains the spark.wireframe skin. It is not located in frameworks/projects/spark/src/spark/skins where I would expect it to be.
    Also, the documentation on this site specifies that a modules folder is to contain the sources necessary to build the jar files for the various command line tools. Is this longer included in the source distribution?

    I still see it in there in its own project (frameworks/projects/wireframe).
    The modules folder is the source for the compiler and other tools and is not included in the Open Source SDK.  It is included in the full Flex SDK.  Apache Flex should be receiving a copy of the source though.

  • HT201077 My wife and I BOTH want to contribute to the same "family" photostream album. We both have  our own iPhones. Is there a for both of us to contribute to the same album from our respective iPhones that we can then share with everyone?

    My wife and I BOTH want to contribute to the same “family" photostream album. We both have  our own iPhones. Is there a for both of us to contribute to the same album from our respective iPhones that we can then share with everyone?

    Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
    It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
    since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours,  I dont know.......

  • You want to downgrade because the new updates won't work? Read this.

    First of all, I'm not any kind of techie person, I just have gone through this horrible experience of not being able to get into the itunes store at all after downloading the last 2 updates (7.4.2.4 and 7.4.3.1). Once I downgraded to 7.3.2.6 I was back in the itunes store downloading whatever I wanted. But, it was not all fun & games - the library file wouldn't work with the older version of itunes, and I lost all my playlists and had to reimport all my music. The second time I downgraded I did figure out how to save the playlists, but I still haven't figured out how to restore the itunes library file. If anyone has ideas about that feel free to post here.
    I consider this a last resort if you really need to get into the store. Hopefully you have already tried other suggestions in other forums. If you do decide to try this, you should read everything first to see what you're getting into. Also, if you just bought a new ipod, it probably won't work with the older version. You should keep calling the apple support phone #.
    The process isn't that much harder than installing an new version, although you need to uninstall 7.4.x first. *If you decide to try this I highly suggest you do a backup to disk first just in case.* Uninstalling itunes doesn't delete any of your music files, but it never hurts to have a backup. Go to File>Backup to disc.
    By the way, this is assuming you're on Windows XP.
    First get ready:
    1. Go to File>Export Library. Save this file somewhere in your My Documents Folder, not the iTunes folder.
    2. Export each playlist you have individually by right clicking on the playlist and selecting Export songlist. Save these text files in the same folder as #1.
    3. Now, download the version of iTunes you want from oldapps.com/itunes.htm. I used 7.3.2 and it worked fine.
    4. While that's downloading start uninstalling iTunes under Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs. Remove Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, iTunes and QuickTime. Don't restart until all 4 are removed. (Optional, also run CCleaner - click the 'issues' button. This gets rid of a lot of little files that don't get removed in this process, but it's a little intimidating if you're not a techie person.)
    5. Now restart. After you're back up, click on the iTunes setup file you just downloaded. After it installs, when you open iTunes the first time, you'll probably see this error: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." When you click ok the box closes & iTunes doesn't open.
    Go into your iTunes folder (usually in your My Music folder) and remove this file - it will show up as iTunes Library.itl or maybe just iTunes Library. You could just delete it because you already have a backup from step #1. The other file, also called iTunes Library, is an .xml file that you can delete if you want.
    6. Open iTunes - it will look totally blank w/ no files. Don't panic! Go to File>Import and try to import the library you made way back in step #1. I'm sorry to say it might not work. If it doesn't, the next thing to try is to import an older version of the library file, which will be in the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder inside the iTunes folder. This also didn't work for me. So....
    7. If you couldn't get the library file to open, you need to add your music back in. I just went to File>Add Folder to Library and added my My Music folder. You could also try doing it from backup discs but that takes a long time; in either case, if you have a lot of music this will take awhile. Just let iTunes do it's thing.
    8. Now you can go to File>Import and select the playlists you created in step #1. This did work for me when I went from 7.4.3.1 back to 7.3.2.6.
    You should be good to go! I hope this helps some people. If you have any questions you can post them, but I can't promise that I will have answers.

    Hi - it sounds like you still need to move the library file, which is in step 5 of my original post; this is assuming you exported your library before you went back to 7.3 - if you didn't do that, don't delete anything yet - just try moving the itunes library.itl file onto your desktop:
    "5. Now restart. After you're back up, click on the iTunes setup file you just downloaded. After it installs, when you open iTunes the first time, you'll probably see this error: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." When you click ok the box closes & iTunes doesn't open.
    "Go into your iTunes folder (usually in your My Music folder) and remove this file - it will show up as iTunes Library.itl or maybe just iTunes Library. You could just delete it because you already have a backup from step #1. The other file, also called iTunes Library, is an .xml file that you can delete if you want (actually, just leave the .xml file where it is).
    "6. Open iTunes - it will look totally blank w/ no files. Don't panic! Go to File>Import and try to import the library you made way back in step #1."
    Since I wrote that I've gone back and forth a couple of times, and importing the backup library file should work. If for some reason you didn't export your library, you can try importing the iTunes Music Library.xml file in your iTunes folder. It takes a really long time but this does also work.
    If you were having the same 11333 error that I was, I was finally able to get into the iTunes store with 7.4.3 after installing certificate revocations lists as described on this page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306628
    I think that's helped a lot of people - have you tried that? Of course, to do that you would have to reinstall the newer version to try it.
    Please post again if you are still having problems with the library, but I think you should be ok!

  • I am a new user of iTunes and want to download music.   The instructions are:  1. Find the item you want  2. Click the button to download.   My problem is that I can not find a download button - what does it look like please?

    My problem is that I can't find a download button to click.   Where does it appear please?

    Thank you a million times over.   I've literally spent hours trying to solve this and I think those responsible for compiling the 'Help' notes for iTunes would be well advised to make this point clear in the downloading instructions.

    The error you are seeing is normal, all it means is that the list will be truncated meaning you will not be able to see the full list of people in the CC field but you can add more and it will send the message to all of them.

  • What's the Best Open Source DB for use with Kodo?

    Hi everyone,
    In terms of ease of setup and use, tools to view info in the database, and least difficulty in
    running with Kodo, what is the best open source database to use? I'm use to using Oracle and
    SQLPlus. I need to use an open source DB for a learning environment, and I'd like your informed
    opinion.
    Thanks,
    David Ezzio

    I have been using postgresql 7.1 with Kodo for a while with mostly positive results, and currently
    have it deployed with Kodo 2.2.3. I prefer it to mysql because its feature set is a little richer,
    and supports transactions natively. My experience with mysql (without jdo - I haven't tried it with)
    is good, but there were little things missing in mysql 3.x, e.g. the ability do do a join in a
    DELETE statement.
    BTW, there are some severe problems somewhere in the 2.2.4 release with postgresql if you intend to
    eventually deploy on it. It also apparently has some problems invoking postgresql's indices, making
    it a little less than optimal. But as a learning environment, it's what I'd recommend.

    David-
    Here is the rundown of the databases I have experience with:
    MySQL: Fairly simple to install (especially if you run Debian Linux), but
    configuration, especially adding users, can be a pain. A separate open
    source project called "mysql-navigator" makes it fairly easy to do
    simple queries, inserts, etc. In most of my tests it outperforms
    PostgreSQL, but your mileage will vary. It has a sane CLI that supports
    modern features like line history, etc (unlike the horrific SQLPlus).
    PostgreSQL: People often say that it is a more "academically
    correct" database than MySQL. I've also found it to be quite a bit
    easier to set up. Their GUI (called "pgaccess") is simplistic, but does
    most things you need. Has a CLI similiar to MySQL's.
    HypersonicSQL: By far the easiest to set up (just drop the jar in your
    CLASSPATH), but is java only, can be rather slow, and has no GUI tools
    available that I know of (except various free vanilla-JDBC GUI tools).
    We feel that Kodo works quite well with all these DBs. The MySQL JDBC
    driver seems a bit less buggy than Postgres', but their transaction
    support is very recent and not very well tested. If I had to pick one or
    the other, I would probably go with MySQL.

  • I Don't Want "Creating Overview" For audio when Opening A Project

    when opening a project , is there a way to turn creating overview off? i have it turned off when recording already. i don't want to have to wait when booting up project , to wait for audio overview that i don't need
    thanks

    OK, here's what I'd suggest...
    1. Find the Apple Loops folder on your system. On my system it's in:
    HD > Library > Audio > Apple Loops
    There's another in:
    HD > Library > Audio > Apple Loops > Apple > Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro
    2. CMD-I on these folders and see who the 'owner' is. If the name listed is not the name of your home folder, then unlock the lock and change the owner to the name-of-your-home-folder.
    3. Click the disclosure triangle by "Details:" and then, after you've changed the owner, click "Apple to enclosed items"
    From that point on you should not be getting the error message.
    HOWEVER... I've found that sometimes the waveform overview for certain "FX" (as listed in the Apple Loops browser within Logic) will not be rendered. That's a topic for another day though...
