Features I would very much like to see in Flash CS5

Just a preface: I'm coming at this from the perspective of a professional Flash character animator. I've worked on two TV shows and one big-budget online virtual world/game and I've been using Flash professionally since MX 2004. I've also written a lot of JSFL commands and done a little actionscript programming (I used to be a software engineer, so the programming comes pretty maturally to me).
So with that said, here are some of the things that I'd really like to see in the next version of Flash, approximately in order from more to les important:
3. Stability and user friendliness. Please, guys, spend a little more time on polish and leave off the one or two extra cool features that you were thinking about throwing in.
13. Color management. I can't emphasize this one enough. COLOR MANAGEMENT! Take a look at Toon Boom Studio for what I'm talking about. Particularly in large projects, the ability to have a real color palette, rather than just having each shape have an RGBA value, would be incredibly useful. That way if I decide I don't like the color of a character's shirt I could just change the shirt color palette entry and it would automatically update every shape in the file that used that palette entry. An extra bonus, though less important, would be to be able to control it from Actionscript -- to be able to change a palette entry dynamically at run-time.
5. non-affine transforms for symbols. Particularly, we want trapezoidal/perspective skew! I've heard SO many people talk about wanting this. I was hoping that the 3D stuff in CS4 would allow it, but no such luck. While it's theoretically possible the controls just aren't set up to allow it.
1. Make EVERYTHING in the Flash authoring environment scriptable. Currently there are a number of things that can be neither scripted nor given a keyboard shortcut, (for instance the onionskinning controls).
2. Make Flash remember its maximized status from the previous session (this is a problem in many Adobe products).
4. Real hardware 3d acceleration.
6. Refine the JSFL API to be more thorough and consistent (see also #1). Make it so that everything you can do in JSFL happens in a way that makes sense. For instance, a couple problems I had recently: delete a shape from the stage and then draw a new one with Path.makeShape() and the new shape is created as if the old one were still there (with extra vertices at edge intersections); and Path.makeShape() won't create cubic paths -- it automatically converts cubic contours to quadrilateral ones.
7. Speaking of types of paths: Make the distinction between quadrilateral and cubic paths clearer to the user. Most people I talk to don't have any idea what the difference is, or that cubic paths are likely to produce more vertices than they expect in the final SWF. In fact, I think you should consider ditching the distinction entirely, at least from the user's perspective. Make every path in the authoring environment cubic, and just convert them to quadrilateral (if you must) on export. This'll relieve a lot of annoyance from users unexpectedly finding that their shape they just created very frugally suddenly has three times as many vertices.
8. Make bones work better on raw shapes. In fact, make them work more like Maya: each bone should affect each vertex to a degree decidable by the user. Currently bones affect each vertex either 0% or 100%, which means that, for instance, it's nearly impossible to get a smoothly curving snake.
9. Add at least one new fill style: we have radial blending, but the major one we're missing is the OTHER kind of radial -- with rays shooting our from a center. Perhaps less realistically, I can't tell you how much it would rock to be able to use a path-based color blend -- where the blend actually follows an arbitrary path (like what you can do in Synfig -- www.synfig.org).
10. Add precision to the stage. Currently it's very hard to position things when zoomed in close, and display artifacts are show up on curves, where they get flattened out for no apparent reason. I think the display artifacts are new to CS4, so perhaps it's just a bug that needs to be worked out in the new display engine? But the current situation is a real pain -- where any symbol that's created relatively small will unavoidably contain rendering and positioning issues.
11. A feature that's been missing (and sorely missed by TV animators) since Flash 8 is the ability to smoothly copy and paste from Flash to Illustrator. There's absolutely no reason this shouldn't be an easy task, and I'm still confused as to why it disappeared from MX 2004 to Flash 8. It's extremely useful for applying art brushes to paths or animating 3D door swings in Illustrator and then bringing the art back into Flash.
12. For that matter, what about art brushes in Flash? I realize they would be heavy in the SWF -- either in rendering time or in space used -- but you've already got stipled brushtrokes, and aren't those just as heavy? Art brushes would be INCREDIBLY useful to animators and designers.
14. Engage with the people who use Flash. Get some dialogue going on between users and developers. Most Flash users I meet (admittedly mostly character animators and character rig builders/designers) have very specific wishes for Flash, and for the most part they coincide very nicely. Yet release after release we don't see any of the changes, features, or bugfixes, that seem the most obvious.

Hi there,
I can assure you that the wishlist is monitored by our team. It does not go into a black hole or shredder - the messages are read by the Flash team, and forwarded as needed, and non-duplicate/legitimate bugs are filed.
Some of the things on your list are known. I'll go through the items, and encourage you to send some messages along these lines (I'd recommend one submission per item, but this is up to you).
* Stability and performance: This is definitely still being worked on. You'll see a lot of that work in the Flash 10.0.2 update, and I can assure you it's still a priority.
* Color management improvements: We do have bugs in this area filed, I believe very similar or the same as you have below, but please feel free to your ideas in this area if you'd like to ensure they're covered.
* Transforms for symbols (3D), and hardware acceleration: Should submit this to the Flash Player wishform (which is external, enabling votes) - if they support it, that support can be transferred to the authoring tool. http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/
* Keyboard shortcuts and JSAPI: Please submit any specific requests (exact areas that are missing). For the keyboard shortcuts for UI where they cannot yet be assigned, this would be a separate request (I'm not sure about the feasibility of buttons as opposed to menu items).
* Cubic vs quadratic paths: This is known and is a difference between the authoring tools/UI and Flash Player, and it's the reason for "10" (more precision to the stage). It's not really about artifacts or precision, but about how Flash Player renders curves in general. If you draw in an AS2 document, you won't see the change from curves to flat edges. If you export that document to the Player in AS2, you'll see the "artifacts" you see on the stage in AS3 documents. This is a known issue of the authoring UI and drawing tools, and making this better is really really high priority in my books too.
* Bones: Many issues are known and presently being worked on.
* Fill style: Please feel free to file this enhancement request, I'm not sure if it has been requested.
* Cross-product copy/paste (Illustrator): This is known, but if you have some specific issues or workflows you've encountered and want to make sure its rectified, please send that along.
* Brushes: Definitely requested/known. I'd love to see that too, in particular.
* Engaging with users: Definitely covered too! That's why we have betas (which do include prominent animators), why I hang out here, and so on. We do have designers (I went to art school) and animators on the team too. I know how it feels though - many of the features I'd most like to see can't be added yet, as Flash covers such a broad user base from coders to animators (many releases have left the coders feeling the same way). All I can say is please submit your feedback to the wishlist, and continue to voice up about what you'd most like to see in Flash with the specifics.
Great feedback!
Thanks.

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent.

i would very much like to understand why Siri is being marketed as something new. before the latest iphone Siri was a free app which was present on my old iphone. Recently purchased another 3G and Siri is is no longer available??? Assumption is to use Siri I must buy the latest and greatest iphone.

Siri that is in the iPhone 4S is "new". It is based on technology the old app used (Apple bought the company), but it has been extended, enhanced, improved and integrated into the OS in a way the old app never could.
So, yes, now to use Siri you need an iPhone 4S. It is no longer available as a separate, third-party app.

Hi! I am from Russia. I would very much like what would my phone 4 reminded me of birthdays of my contacts. It is very convenient. Thank you.

Go to your contacts, click add field, select birthday, and put in their birthday.
Then, go into settings --> mail, contacts, calendars --> scroll down to calendars --> default alert times --> and choose what alert time you want for birthdays.

Brought thee Microsoft office app on istore but app is faulty, would like a refund.. What can I do about it please?

There is no Microsoft Office app for iOS devices. What you bought is almost certainly only a book or guide about using Office on a computer. That's usually made pretty clear in the description for the book, so you probably cannot get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

Would anyone else like to see an auto-hiding Dock in full-screen mode?

Would anyone else like to see an auto-hiding Dock in full-screen mode?

Well, it doesn't work consistently here. I have Dock Hiding on. When a screen does not contain a full screen app, it works fine. Moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen (where I have the dock) pops up the dock as expected. If the screen has a full screen app in place (usually Mail or Safari), the behaviour is very inconsistent. Moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen, waving it back and forth, up and down, with the odd click, will bring up the dock in maybe 10 to 15% of attempts. Take the app out of full screen, and it works perfectly. Put it back in full screen, stops working. This is a new MacBook Pro with 10.7.1
Any ideas welcome. Meanwhile, Im getting used to the four finger squeeze to bring up the Launcher.

What would you most like to see in a future version?

I'm pretty sure the DSC development team looks at these posts so what would you most like to see in the future? For me, I'd like to be able to dynamically add tags without shutting down the engine.

Robert

Something I Would Like to see in Flash

When creating animations I start with the final image and
then animate the elements into position e.g. If I am animating the
word FRY onto the screen then I would place the artwork for the
word on screen and then create 3 seperate movies to animate the F
coming from the left, Y from the right and then R from the top.
The problem comes if the client changes something e.g. if
they want the R (only) to be in a different font. In this example
the animation for the 'F' movie would need to move to the left ...
but the problem is that you do not know how far to the left to move
it because you can not see the end position of the animation on
screen.
What I would like is the ability to select a frame in a movie
as the frame that is seen in movies which contain it (in this case
I would mark the end one) rather than the current 'default' of
frame 1. This has two advantages...
1) If only part of an animation needs changing you can easily
see where to move the other elements. (Whilst the above example
would be easy to do without this - it is not so easy when you have
animations inside animations inside animations.)
2) If the aniimation starts with a blank frame then it
becomes MUCH easier to find it on screen. (The current circle that
appears can be hard to find and hard to click on).
I realise that this would be a non-trivial change to
implement - but I can hope.

Onion skinning is very useful, but it only works (as far as I
can tell) for graphics that exist in the current movie. What I
don't think it allows for is for the following...
Put two graphics on screen.
Turn the first graphic into a movie (movie 'A') with 2
frames. Make the first frame blank and keep the graphic in the 2nd.
Return to the top layer, you now will not see the graphic as
it only shows frame 1 of movie 'A' and not frame 2.
Repeat for the second graphic (creating movie 'B') so you now
have 2 movies on the sceen, but there is nothing visible.
Now what I would like to be able to do is see Frame 2 (or any
specified frame) of the movies on screen instead of Frame 1. If,
for example, you changed the graphic in movie 'A' you can not see
how the new movie will look with BOTH the graphics in 'A' and 'B'
visible at the same time. You can run the movie but if the relative
position of the 2 graphics is off then there is no easy way of
positioning them correctly.
Obviously with only 2 frames and 2 movies you can use other
methods, but if they form part of a long and complex animation with
movies inside movies inside movies then it becomes very difficult
to make such changes.

Three things I would like to see in Flash Catalyst.

1. I would REALLY like a way to edit the code in Flash Catalyst. If Adobe doesn't figure this one out, they will lose a lot of business. I'm not going to buy an other product like Flex just so I can edit the code. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but once in a while, designers need to edit some code.
2. It would be nice if I could just double click groups or layers to edit them (like in Flash an illustrator). Currently, it is very painful having to dig through groups and layers just to edit an object. This is a real time waster and it can add several hours on to a small project.
3. Effects. I know you can add drop shadows and glows to objects in Photoshop and Illustrator, but is the a way to do these in Catalyst? That would be nice to have.
Thoughts?

Thank you for the feedback. Let me respond to each of your suggestions:
1. Code editing
We certainly recognize the value of editing code in Catalyst and recognize that designers as well as developers want to edit their code. Being about to robustly round trip code in Catalyst is a feature that we plan to address in a later version of Catalyst.
2. Editing in place/isolation mode on groups
I agree that this is a real time saver by making selections and editing much faster. For now, a work-around that may work for some artwork is to convert it to a custom component so that it can be edited in isolation. I recognize this is a trade off. If you convert artwork to a component then you can edit in place, but you won't be able to use the white arrow selection tool to "reach" into the component when you are not editing in place
3. Applying effects to artwork in Catalyst
Coming in the next beta release :-)

What additional OIM product documentation would you most like to see?

I first worked with with OIM when it was still Xellerate v7 about 7 years ago.
Despite attending the Thor training courses I found the product strangely impenetrable and often found myself in a position where I knew what I wanted to do but was unable to find any reference information or worked examples to tell me what the solution options were.
After several years working with the Sun and IBM IDM products I'm now back in the Oracle world and determined to master the beast this time. However I am still unable to find quality, solution-focussed documentation and am therefore dependent on (and very grateful to) the members of this forum who provide their support and help.
I'd like to ask therefore what additional documents would you really appreciate seeing in the OIM suite?
Whether you're a developer, technical or business analyst or customer representative please let me know. I will collate responses, post a summary and send feedback to Oracle for their consideration.
Thanks,
Bernie

The OIM documentation is uniformly awful. I think it's a cunning evil plan by Oracle to "encourage" companies to engage Oracle's consultants to do the work.
The writing style is really bad. There are paragraphs and paragraphs of really impenetrable text which you read six times and you still don't understand what they are trying to explain. Quite often all it would have taken to improve it was a picture or a concrete example. There are broken links in the docs, links to topics which the docs say will explain a term and it doesn't even mention it and references to documentation "books" that don't exist.
We're just starting the implementation process here and the biggest lack we're finding is a "Where do I start an implementation?" guide. This would be a "big picture" document containing a high-level view of what the options are for most of the common tasks that are needed when started out. It could cover things like what the options are for doing an initial load of users from an existing system and if you have to deal with multiple trusted sources are you better of using connectors to reconcile with each of them individually or could some magic be done with OVD that would simplify the process.
As a solution to the "where do I start?" question, I've seen suggestions in the forum that you should just get an installation up and running and then basically play about until you've worked out what you want to do. That's not a particularly scientific approach and makes it impossible to provide detailed implementation documentation and estimates up front for when the management wants to know when they are going to see some results from the product that they've spent a small fortune on.
The Oracle By Examples that I have looked at are pretty useful, but I could do with about 10 times as many of them. How about writing your own connectors in Java? How about to creating the organisation's structure as groups in OIM based on tables in a database?
A master index of all the books would be useful or at least the ability to search the complete documentation set. Having one place that had all the most recent documentation would also be a bonus.
There seems to be lots of basic configuration information missing from the documentation. For example, can anybody tell me where the documentation for configuring challenge questions for self-service password resets is? I've looked and looked and haven't found anything.

Are you using C++ AMP? We'd very much like to hear about it!

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I come to you cap in hand, with a gentle request: given that C++ AMP is no longer an infant, we (the team working on it) are curious about its uptake. To be more precise, we would appreciate hearing from the people that
are using it already, be it in production or for personal projects, and about their experience. This will help better guide our steps and educate our understanding of the market. So, if you can spare a bit of your time, please share:
your use case (e.g. I work for X and we are doing Y using Z because of W; this includes experimenting to see if C++ AMP would be useful for you);
what you like (including by comparison with other similar technologies e.g. OpenCL does A while C++ AMP does B and B is wonderful while A is awful);
what you do not like (including by comparison with other similar technologies e.g. OpenCL does D while C++ AMP does E and D is wonderful while E is awful);
what you would need from AMP to make it truly fit your use-case (e.g. generalized pointer support);
what were the blockers that prevented you from adopting AMP (e.g. no Linux support).
If you are uncomfortable doing it via the open forum, feel free to use my email directly (alvoicu@the_company_that_I_work_for.com), pointing out that the information provided is not public. Thank you. Cheers!

•your use case
I'm using C++ AMP to accelerate some image processing algorithms in my machine vision software, which is part of our factory automation products.
•what you like(compared to OpenCL)
Easy to learn and easy to use for a C++ programmer.
No need to do pointer arithmetic.
No need to separate host and device code into different files so that the code is easier to maintain.
•what you do not like
Code compilation speed is not fast enough.
Still can't get the C++ AMP FFT library to work with my AMD discrete GPUs on Windows 8.1.
Unable to acess vendor-specific hardware capabilities(for example, AMD's media ops extension functions accessible in OpenCL).

How can I check whether new versions of Firefox are compatible with my add-ons? I specifically need to know this regarding Zotero as I would very much hate to loose my reference data base when changing from one version of Firefox to the next ...

Is there an add-on that can help me with this? Or do I just install the new version and hope for the best?

Firefox 9.0.1 is a real old version and is no longer supported - Firefox 24.0 is the current release version.
Open the Add-0ns manager tab and click on '''More''' for each extension that you have installed. Near the bottom of each "More" there should be a link that will take you to the download page where you can verify compatibility.
Or use this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/is-it-compatible/ - but I'm not sure how well it will work when you are so many versions 'behind the curve'.

Macbook pro 2011 13" i5 slowed down, any help would be much appreciated (detailed info).

Ok first off let me preface with as much detailed information as possible, as i have read many many posts on problems and hopefully mine will be detailed enough to not cause all you wonderful people a headache.
Machine Details
Macbook Pro 13inch model (2011)
Core i5 4gb RAM 250gb Standard harddrive
As I am a very inexperienced I would very much appreciate a very idiot proof explaination, but any help I will be very thankfull for.
The laptop was running like a dream and much better than I remembered my last mac (Macintosh LC) ever did. Ive had minor hickups this last year (a trackpad that went bust under warranty and a broken power supply) otherwise its been a wonderfull experience. The final hiccup that might be a cause, not sure hence I will mention it is that my battery is Conditon: Replace Now for about a month now.
The laptop, as always was left ON, on its own connected to the wifi home network, when I returned the computer was working very slow. Any load on the harddrive/CPU. The cursor starts lagging (jumping), any keypresses are registered with a 2-10second delay. Any vidoes that i would try to play would suffer freezes in framerates/jams but audio remained fine. First step i was afraid that i may have contracted one of the new trojans so i downloaded an antivirus program, scanned the drive, but came out clean. Second step was to format the drive and perform a fresh install of OSX but no luck. Being inexperienced in Apple products i assumed that my harddrive (used to PCs) was on the fritz and went out and bought a 160gb Western Digital Black series 2.5inch harddrive. Having read all the guides and official knowledge bases on how to swap out the harddrive I did so with success. I placed in my installation OS 10.6 CD formatted the drive through the disk utility and performed a fresh install. Before doing any steps I went through the update cycle a couple of times till only the thunderbolt update remained (havent updated as I never used it). Sadly it hasnt solved the problems with cursor repsonse lag, video playback, and keyboard input lag under load.
On this install I have performed:
Verify Disk Permissions Many were found so I performed Repair Disk Permissions
Verify Disk Came up with "Appears to be OK"
performed a Pram reset (CMD+option +P +R)
My main problem is that I live in europe nowadays (Poland to be precise) and cant go to a genius bar as they dont exist, and sadly the support is a tad behind the US standards and any minor repair will be at least a 4 week wait, hence i would like to try to exhaust possible solutions before giving it off to professionals: being a month out of the warranty period has abit to do with it too:)
Sorry for the wall of text
Thanks guys for any help you could throw my way!

See the following:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire 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):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

How long can weexpect this to last? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

It sounds like your device might be in Activation Lock. Is it asking your to enter in an Apple ID & password, but only showing you the first letter of the email address and then some dots? Example: j•••••@icloud.com?
If so, do you recognize that email? Do you have an Apple ID that fits the same format? If so, then go to www.cloud.com, log in with that Apple ID & password, and see if under Find My iPhone it shows this device. If so, turn off the device, then remove the device from the list.
