Easiest Way to make scrolling text with color

What is the easiest way to make scrollable text that I can
set to whatever font I want (embeded of course)
have it look very well anti-aliased; like most Flash text, not like it's being read out of a regular system or browser window. (the text will be big so no probs)
have different portions of the text be different colors so I can highlight certain words and leave others alone
use actionscript to load text content into it
maybe make (all) the text semi transparent for design purposes
I'm going to use some action script to load some XML content into the text areas or whatever. Any of you know of any easy ways of accomplishing this? or have a link to any type of tutorial? (at least for Flash CS3 and above of course, along with ActionScript 3)

Go to Lee Brimlow's website. It has some great tutorials, including one on loading an XML file.

What's the easiest way to make scrolling text?

I'm creating a template to use for a site, and I put an
editable region inside of a table cell. The problem is some of the
text for certain pages is more than will fit in the cell. How can I
make it so the text scrolls inside of the cell? Is there an
extension or something that will add the scrollbars? Thanks, I
really appreciate the help!

You'll only get the scroll bar if the text height exceeds
300px. Use
overflow:scroll if you always want scroll bars.
What browser did you test it in? Some older browsers do not
support
overflow.
What element did you assign the maintext class to? It needs
to be on a
block-level element. I would not put it on the <td>.
You can always add
a <div> tag inside the <td> if there is no single
containing tag.
Yes, the height should match the table cell height.
HTH,
Randy

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on PC or DVD player using MacBook Pro?

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player? I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music. Thanks.

I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.
Good luck,

What's the easiest way to make a password system? 10 Duke Points!

Hello everyone,
What's the easiest way to make a password system in java?
I'd like to be able to:
1) store passwords for about 6 people.
2) have the people only interact with my program using my Eclipse console with no GUIs, pop-ups or Swing code.
3) let the people have the ability to create/delete their own passwords and logins. (ideally)
Having searched around the Internet, it seems that the options are to:
A) have code that allows users create files, write to files, read from files.
B) have code that serializes objects - this seems pretty difficult.
C) have code that has a hash table of some kind - although I don't really know hash tables very well and am not sure if they can store data over time unless the program is always running (which is an option).
D) use some sort of javadoc like PassWordCallback - this one looks the easiest as the code already seems to be there but I'm not really sure how to include this type of stuff in my code.
E) have code that allows users to input their password, which I've given them on a piece of paper, and then allow the code to match it to a file - this wouldn't let the users create their own passwords though.
Anyway, hope you can help!
I have a 'Head First Java' book and a 'Java for Dummies' book if you know of anything directly useful in these books.

Using GUIs and Swing is really easy, I have only been using Java for a week now and I have already made a simple application with events. First of all Swing is a package and you need to import it (as described in the documentation).
When you click on the Swing package in the documentation to the second frame you'll see JFrame when you scroll down. JFrame's are the main windows on your screen. JFrame is a class therefore it needs to be instantiated (making an instance of that class so we can use it). After all, everything is based around classes.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Title here");
Note: The "JFrame" before the frame vaiable name is the "data type" of the variable, really we're making an object type (I think its called) just like we'd do String frame if we wanted to make a frame variable that is of type String.
As explained in the [JFrame section of the documentation|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JFrame.html] in the "Constructor Summary" section is the different types of Construtors that are made available to us when we instantiate the JFrame class. One of the construtors available are:
JFrame(String title)
... which is exactly what I did above in the brackets/parentheses (its telling us we can add a String title).
Remember constructors do not have any return type or anything and is not a method, because it is the same name as the class and when we instantiate we call the constructor. And so the JFrame class has many constructors, one is for making a title for our JFrame and another is just instantiating without a title. If there wasn't the JFrame(String title) and just JFrame() constructor, we wouldn't be able to add a title as we made an instance of JFrame.
So once we've made an instance of JFrame we have all the methods available (and all of the methods are shown in the API documentation).
Hope you understand now :).Wow. Thanks a lot bastones_. I think Swing is just a bit beyond me at the moment and will require quite a bit of time for me to master. Is there not an easier way of making a password system? I think that A (see above) seems the easiest for me at the moment and D (see above) would be nice if I could just figure out how to use the javadoc.

Easiest way to create a string with a unicode supplimentary character

In my code I had previously been declaring some strings such as:
String s = "\u1234";Now I have gotten to a point where I want to use a supplimentary unicode character like this:
String s = "\u12345";This, however, does not work since Java only allows for characters in the range: 0000 - FFFF.
I've been reading over this whole codepoint thing in the Character docs but I'm still confused. What's the easiest way to make a string that contains the unicode character U+12345 (just an example number)?

This article here:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/Supplementary/
says <quote>For text input, the Java 2 SDK provides a code point input method which accepts strings of the form "\Uxxxxxx", where the uppercase "U" indicates that the escape sequence contains six hexadecimal digits, thus allowing for supplementary characters.</quote>
I believe it is referring to Java 5, although I don't see where it says that. However if you are dealing with supplementary characters it might be a good idea for you to move to Java 5 because of its improved support for them.

Just delete the same songs from your library in iTunes. Select the first song, hold the shift key, select the last song (which will select everything in between) and press delete.

Easiest way to access shared album with Lion only

one of my friends is still using Lion only and she's want to make a photobook on her Mac with the pictures from a shared album (not photo stream) that I created. She also has an iPhone and iPad that have iOS6 (she's willing to update to iOS7 if that helps) and thus can view the shared album.
under this situation, what's the easiest way for her to get the pictures over to her Mac? There are over 100 photos so email is something she wants to avoid. Apps that are not very expensive (<$10) is ok if they can do the job quickly. and high resolution preferred (doesn't have to be the full resolution)
and she's using aperture to create the photobook, not that i think it's too relevant to the question
thanks much in advance.

You might be thinking of Crossover. Not sure if Windows Media Player works under it, but their website has info on requested and working apps.
Best of luck.

Easiest way to fade in text?

Hi Guys
What is the easiest way to fade in a paragraph of text line by line? I'm creating the animation in Indesign, exporting as a FLA file and then converting it to html5 with Wallaby.
This soloution is very glichy. It only works sometimes! When I swipe the page and go back the page with the animation – sometimes this does not work!
Has anybody got any other solutions?!
Any help appreciated!
Cheers

Animation will become a new trade to InDesign users. While Flash didn't really lure many InDesign user into the realms of animation, ADPS will certainly PUSH them over the Edge (notice the pun...)
Keep in mind, that it's just like with photography: a special tool for such elements will be more capable for that task than some restricted features in InDesign. We never wondered why we can't do so much with photo's or Photoshop files in InDesign, except for crops, transformations, transparancy, and showing/hiding a casual layer. Tap your heels twice in InDesign, and you're off to Photoshop, with the original file.
So my guess is that animation will follow suit and therefore will be better off in a separate application (like Adobe Edge, or Mac-only Hype). Maybe a simple motion path or quick and dirty bounce animation will become available (as the Flash-inclined Animation panel already offered). But vast animation is a dfferent trade for competent users, requiring different tools, integrating on the Suite level.

What's the easiest way to make a SOAP client request in java?

I need to make a request to a website that provides tv listings. Basically I just need to make a simple SOAP request for the listings and the site provides them in XML format.
What's the easiest way to do this? Do I need to download a package like Axis2 or JAX-WS? These seem kind of overkill for what I want to do, since I don't need to run a server. Is there something in the Java standard libraries that will do this? Is it difficult to just write the code for this my self?

I've been trying to do it with HTTP POST commands. Here is the sample SOAP envelope that the site gives:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <SOAP-ENV:Body>
          <m:download xmlns:m="urn:TMSWebServices" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
               <startTime xsi:type="xsd:dateTime">2005-02-22T19:00:00Z</startTime>
               <endTime xsi:type="xsd:dateTime">2005-02-22T21:00:00Z</endTime>
          </m:download>
     </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>I can post this to the URL and it gives me back a generic xml file as a reply with no listings. The problem is that the site requires credentials, so I assume I have to login somehow first. Can anyone tell me how I would do this?

An easy way to make a text box blink??

Hello everyone! So I can make a graphic symbol blink easy enough, but I am trying to "simulate" an electronic LCD screen, so I would like to display the value of a variable in a dynamic text box and make it blink. The idea is kind of like an alarm clock, where you select "set hours", and the hour field blinks while you change it. Is there an easy way to make a dynamic text box blink? Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks all!

you can use a loop (like a timer) to toggle the textfields visibility.

Is there a way to make the text larger in the maps app?

When I zoom in I can read it until it resizes. I have increased the text size of other apps like mail but I can't find a way to make the road numbers larger in the maps app.

No I do not believe there is
