FAQ: How can I make a SWF from Flash Catalyst scalable?

The SWF files that Flash Catalyst publishes are fixed in size. Even if you set the size of the SWF manually when embedding it, the content created in Catalyst will remain the same size. However, with a small amount of work in Flash Builder, you can make your SWF scale to fit the width and height you want.
Follow the instructions in this tip on FlashCats.

  • How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

    How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
         used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
         requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
         drive being backed up.
    See Mac Basics- Time Machine. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
      1. Cool Drives
      2. OWC
      3. WiebeTech
      4. Firewire Direct
      5. California Drives
      6. NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • How can I make a call from iPad

    How can I make a call from IPad

    Oh, you have to get the iPhone app.
    Seriously, though .... you are aware that it's not a telephone, right? Any calls you make will be using VOIP and any of the apps and/or services (Skype, Google Talk, etc., etc.) which support that. Some of those are US-only, all have various restrictions and cost structures.

  • How can I make different catalogs from the same image

    How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

    Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
    Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
    The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
    After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
    IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
    IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
    1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
    2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
    Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

  • FAQ: How can I make my Flash Catalyst application scale/use a liquid layout?

    Flash Catalyst CS5 currently only supports applications with fixed dimensions. Custom components you create in Catalyst have absolute sizing.
    If you want to experiment with creating resizable applications (liquid layouts) and components in a preview of the next version of Flash Catalyst, codenamed "Panini",  you can find more information here:
    Introducing Adobe Flash Catalyst "Panini"
    Download Adobe Flash Catalyst "Panini"
    Adobe Flash Catalyst "Panini" help
    Keep in mind that Flash Catalyst "Panini" preview is meant for exploration and testing, not real production. If you are doing real production work, here are some options that work with Flash Catalyst CS5 and Flash Builder:
    Liquid Layouts
    If you are building an application that requires relative constraints, you can take the FXP file from Flash Catalyst into Flash Builder, and apply constraints there so that your components resize according to your application dimensions.
    For more info, see this Help topic:
    Using constraint-based layouts in Flash Builder
    SWF Scaling
    If you want your swf to scale, without relative constraints, there's a simple way to make that work in Builder as well. Simply save out your FXP file from Flash Catalyst and import it into Flash Builder. Open up the "Main.mxml" file. Remove the width and height attributes on the Application tag, and add the attribute:
    preinitialize="systemManager.stage.scaleMode='showAll'
    The entire Application tag should look something like:
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                      xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                      xmlns:d="http://ns.adobe.com/fxg/2008/dt"
                      xmlns:fc="http://ns.adobe.com/flashcatalyst/2009"
                      xmlns:ATE="http://ns.adobe.com/ate/2009"
                      xmlns:ai="http://ns.adobe.com/ai/2009"
                      xmlns:flm="http://ns.adobe.com/flame/2008"
                      xmlns:lib="assets.graphics.*"
                      xmlns:components="components.*"
                      backgroundColor="#FFFFFF"
                      preloaderChromeColor="#FFFFFF"
                      preinitialize="systemManager.stage.scaleMode='showAll'"
                      >
    There are a couple other scale modes you may want to try, such as "exactFit", which are outlined at the below link:
    Flash Stage Scale Modes
    Finally, you will have to adjust the object embed code in your html page to set the size of your swf.

    you can`t. allow your application internet access without the network admin defining an exception for it specifically.
    If you have admin rights use the router`s/proxy`y configuration software to allow an exception.

    how can i make a cd from apllication in my app store

    Export something from an app to cd?
    I'm afraid your quesion isn't very clear.
    If that's what you're wanting to do, you need to get the file off your iPad and onto your computer. You can use sync or mail it (if it's not big) or use something like dropbox to upload/download it.
    But there is no way to make a cd from the iPad. You have to get the file onto a computer with a CD drive

  • How Can I make redirect caller from agent to any branch IVR?

    I have IPCC Enterprise Edition (ICM 5.0, IVR 3.1)
    How can I make redirect caller from agent to chosen branch IVR, and send with call any variable to IVR (e.g. account number).
    Regards
    Krzysztof

    I would suggest that post-routing should not be used. The way to go is to use translation routing applications. Although post-routing is easy to set up, almost all deployments require translation routing. I can't think of anything good to say about post routing, other than it's trivial to configure.
    You want the main route point to be on the CM_PIM.RC for a number of reasons. You can check to see which of your IVRs are on line, and/or to do load balancing. If calls don't need to go to the IVR if agents are ready, you can have an LAA Select node immediately, and then translation route. Even if you just have one IVR, translation routing will enable you to do RONA more easily.
    You need to bite the bullet and learn translation routing. If you do it that way, peripheral variables attached to the call remain unaffected whether the call is under the control of the CM_PIM.RC or the IVR_PIM.RC. This is exactly what you want.
    There is no need, in my opinion, to go to an external database. In your IVR, decisions made by the caller (e.g. which "skill" they want) set peripheral variables. When the call comes out of this script you check the peripheral variable, and depending on the value do a queue to the appropriate skill group and run external script (BasicQ.aef).
    Separate the intelligence gathering IVR script from the Queuing script. Allow ICM to make the routing decisions.

    How come I can buy foreign books through Amazon as e-book, but the same book can't be downloaded from iTunes? That doesn't makes sense.
    Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
    Amazon allows it, iTunes does not.  That is why.  Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public.  It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true.  Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
    With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.

  • HOW CAN I MAKE BACK UP FROM MY IMAC TO MY MACBOOK?

    HOW CAN I MAKE BACK UP FROM MY IMAC TO MY MACBOOK?

    A couple of things, first could you re-phrase your question? It reads like you want to backup your iMac to your MacBook, if so I'd strongly recommend against even trying to do this. I woudl recommend getting an external HD or better even 2 and creating a Time Machine Backup and on a second HD create a bootable clone.
    The next thing please do not type in all caps, this is like shouting....we can "hear" you just fine without the shouting.

  • HOW can I make a .SWF default load after its first load?

    When you have the SAME parent API on every page of an (X)HTML website, can a .SWF tell itself to load from a default position when a website user navigates to different HTML pages?
    Here's my parent API as it stands:
    http://www.playingthepoet.com/
    HOW can you tell the .SWF to load from a default position once the .SWF has loaded a first time? AND from any page of the website, not just the Home page? This is an advanced .SWF networking issue. And I'm not sure if the best solution is a Javascript of if there's a direct AS3 programming solution.
    The blurs and fade-ins are a bunch of timer variables and timer event methods timer event listeners. I want that intro ONLY ONCE. And NOT every time a user changes HTML pages. Please help, and MANY thanks for your time!!

    Hi ,
    You can set a variable say "count" on stage composition ready -
    sym.setVariable("count" , 0);
    On stage click , you keep checking the value of this variable -
    if(sym.getVariable("count") == 5)
      sym.$("Symbol_2").show();
    //Here "Symbol_2" is the next button that you want to appear on screen(which is initially invisible) when the symbol_1 is clicked say 5 times.
    Now, on click of a button , you keep updating the variable count -
    var countnew = sym.getVariable("count");
    countnew = countnew+1;
    sym.setVariable("count" , countnew);
    Attaching the sample for reference.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How can I make a purchase from iTunes in Honduras!

    iTunes is finally available in my country! However, even though I input all the information I was asked, Apple asks for a zip code.   If Apple finally decided to open iTunes for Central America, it should know the fact, we do NOT use zip codes.  How can I make a purchase?
