First FC site created and Thoughts about FC

Just completed my first site created using PScs4 and FC beta 2.
bigimpressionsmobile.com
Program does just what I want. No Coding!!! Took about 15 hours to create the site. Would have taking me a week to do it in flash. I know a little action script but do not wish to learn it in-depth. I am a designer.
Please note: Background image may not match the background in flash. No wmode transparency support .
The Bad first.
Hate that there is not a timeline scrubber!!!!! Current preview system between states slows down my productivity. Would like to see live feedback in the final.
Timeline panel is very confusing when you have a lot of animation. I am guessing this is do to this being beta. I hope the timeline will work like the layers panel. I would like to restructure the order.
Deleting does not delete. I get why it just hides it, but I would still like a short cut option to do a complete delete in the final.
No indesign support! Please create Indesign Catalyst.
When converting to buttons name changes. I am guessing this is a beta issue. Better be.
That's really it b/c I know this is just a beta so I will not go crazy about my other issues! Like no support for video alpha channels and cue points.
The Good
No Coding!!!
Takes me half the time to create an interactive site using this program! No Coding! No headaches.
Easy to use. Air deployment
This program is a sure winner if the final has video alpha channels, cue point support, better timeline and animation functionality similar to flash, and wmode transparency support, third party plugin compatibility with slideshow plug-ins like slideshowpro.
Final thoughts
After creating my first fc site. I see myself only using this program for interactive headers, microsites with no more than 20 states, slideshow navigation, interactive web banners, custom preloader creation, Quick and simple online presentations a la powerpoint and keynote style.
Would use it heavily for video interactivity if you guys put in video alpha channels, cue points support, and custom skinning functionality(same method as the scrollbar and sliders)! I do a lot of green screen shoots.
State(Page) transitions(slide, page flip, dissolve, swf alpha transitions, etc.) as an option. Then being able to manually animate in the content would be a nice addition.
If there were any kind of coding I would like to see, the coding method used to create menus in Encore from Photoshop. I can handle that! I woulds speed up productivity. Maybe put that in CS5!!!
Thanks Adobe.

Thanks for the feedback!
When I imported video with an alpha channel I got a black background. Is the preview going to be black in playback? I did not export the file to test though. I will try it again and see if it works. How should I set my alpha channel when I export from AE or PSCS4?
The timeline panel is not that confusing. I think the main issue with the current version is that I cannot reorder them and when I add a new effect most of the time the effect goes to the bottom, but sometimes they pop up at the top or middle.
If the object order in the timeline matches the layer order, that would be a big improvement. I still would like to have a preview scrubber in the timeline. It will speed up my productivity.
Will there be another beta before the final release? Is it still scheduled for Q1(before end of march?)
New Issue (probably just beta issues)
"edit original" is causing a lot of headaches!
I have created the bigimpressionsmobile.com all in PSCS4. When I choose "edit original" It only gives me an edit in Illustrator option. Not sure why, but it is causing major problems when I try to update a graphic.
Everytime I update a graphic I loose all the effects and the name changes. That slows down productivity BIG TIME!
Other things I would like to see...
1. Would like to have edit original functionality for AE.
2. A skew and reflect shape button.
3. A simple built in form script.
4. I know cue point support and action script is the best way to interact with video, but I would like to be able to trigger a state or nested state when I reach a certain point of the video. This maybe a little complicated and I guess I can create some type of workaround.
This is my vision. I want to be able to have an actor appear on screen and say "Welcome to my site. Blah Blah Blah....Please choose from one of these options listed below." When the actor says, "listed below," I want to be able to go to the next state with the animation happening while the actor is still in the background moving or walking away.
This could work if I can add 1 video to 2 states and have it stop at a particular time then start in the next state at a particular time. I know this could be done with just 2 different videos but I would have to export "TWO DIFFERENT VIDEOS."
A good example of a solution is incorporate the "trim video" option found inside Keynote.
Another option is doing something similar to Powerpoint's, on the mac, "Play across slides" for video option. I can delay the transition to anytime to go to the next slide while the video still plays. This functionality would be a GREAT solution if cue points are not an option!

More questions and thoughts about Anti-Flicker

I am working on a video that consists entirely of digital photos provided by my client (all jpgs - not my decision). Many of them flicker terribly in the final video. I did a search for "anti-flicker" on this forum and read a number of threads about it. There is one thing I am experiencing that I do not believe was covered in any of those threads.
First of all, selecting "flicker removal" in a clip's field options is useless. I don't know why this should be so, since this worked very well in Premiere 6.5 (my previous version).
However, adjusting the anti-flicker filter in the motion settings works great when one renders a preview. But this seems to have no effect on the final video output, and strangely, all the anti-flicker settings reset to zero if I exit the program. This seems like a bug to me. Does anyone else experience this?
Here is my work around. If I also make an adjustment to the scale of the clip, then Premiere will remember the anti-flicker filter setting, and the final video output is flicker free. If my photo is already sized for the screen, I'll set a scale setting of 99%. If the photo is large, I will either resize it in Photoshop, or uncheck "scale to frame size" and resize it with the scale adjustment.

The forum is called "support" so i thought there should be some admins and technicians of nokia itself on the forum...
I send my request direct to nokia, although i am sure that there will be no change of thinking in future. A mobile, especially a music mobile, should be able to do that. That way it works now it will never challenge a iphone or ipod, i think.

I rented 2 movies today on my MacBook Pro. I transferred them to iPad. While on flight went to play the first movie on iPd and thought the movie is there when I hit play I get a message "Cannot Open". The same happened on the 2nd movie.

I tried to transfer back to Mac but message says they are not on iPad. Now they have disappeared from both Mac and iPad. Help!

Why the dependency of "Site settings" for the "About me"-button in the top menu?

Hello, I recently had a customer case where the customer asked why certain users couldn't see the "About me"-button in the top personal actions menu, after they clicked at the user name/avatar. Only user details, "Sign out" and "My
settings" was visible for the user, who had an user license and a my site. There was also no customizations whatsoever in either javascript or css that could cause this, and the masterpage or the personal actions control doesn't seem to actually have
anything to do with the "About me"-button.
After some tracing and testing of Microsoft's code so we now know why the "About me" is not visible to all users. "About me" button depends on whether the "Site
Settings" is available in the menu or not. For the "Visitors" then there is no "Site Settings" because of their "Read"-permission level and thus does the "About me" button not appear in the menu.
In sposuitenav.js there is a loop for all ie:menuitem and inside of that there is these lines:
if(menuItem.id.indexOf("MenuItem_Settings") > 0) {
hasSiteSettingsMenuItem = true;
And a bit further down the code there is this:
if(!hasSiteSettingsMenuItem) {
a.AboutMeLink = null;
Which will cause so that the "About me"-link is null and is not rendered in the personal actions menu. Otherwise the AboutMeLink would have had the default value that is set by the code earlier.
So my question really, is why have Microsoft made the "About me"-button depending on whether or not the "Site settings" is visible for the user?
Because neither I nor my client can understand why there should be any relationship between Site Settings and the About Me link. Shouldn't anyone be able to go to their "my site"? As long as they have one, I can't see any reason to prohibit
anyone else than site administrators to see and use the "About me"-link.

It's a recent change it seems, people on the Office 365 Yammer network have noticed this as well. Microsoft has confirmed this as an issue and will work to fix it.

Host Header Site Collection and Web App Setup - Thoughts

I am trying to understand relation between AAM and web app extension .Please share your expert opinion. I have not seen any TechNet article talking about it clearly.
Here it goes: in 2010 it was recommended Not to use AAM with IIS bindings without extending the web application. This was mentioned in several TechNet articles also its a known “Mistake #4” on TechNet articles.
So question is, is that still the same case in 2013?
Most of the times it is recommended to remove web app host header from IIS if you are using this web app for HHSC, otherwise sites will not be accessible. I have find no issues by leaving web app host header and adding more bindings for host header site
collections any thoughts on this ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I found some articles for helping understand Extend web application and
Alternate access mappings.
“If you want to expose the same content in a Web application to different types of users by using additional URLs or authentication methods, you can extend an existing Web application into a new zone. When you extend the Web application into a new zone,
you create a separate Internet Information Services (IIS) Web site to serve the same content, but with a unique URL and authentication type. An extended Web application can use up to five network zones (Default, Intranet, Internet, Custom, and Extranet). For
example, if you want to extend a Web application so that customers can access content from the Internet, you select the Internet zone and choose to allow anonymous access and grant anonymous users read-only permissions. Customers can then access the same Web
application as internal users, but through different URLs and authentication settings..”
After you extend web application, there is a new site created in IIS but the content are the same. We extend it to a new zone for different authentication methods, so that we could support different security between Internet site, Intranet site and Extranet
site.
“Alternate access mappings direct users to the correct URLs during their interaction with SharePoint 2013. Alternate access mappings enable SharePoint 2013 to map web requests to the correct web applications and sites, and they enable SharePoint 2013 to
serve the correct content back to the user.”
AAM is to offer different urls to users to access one site. Sometimes the url of a site is not easy to remember , we could use AAM to create simple url.

I was setting up my Airport and thought the first set up did not go through, so I set up again and I ended up with two accounts instead of one. How can I manage to have only one account now? Thanks for the help.

I was setting up my Airport and thought the first set up dod not go through, then I set up again and ended up with two wireless accounts. I use it for the prointer and the iPad, and I can see both accounts in the iPad. How do I get rid of one account? Thanks for the help!

me.com accounts can be used for iCloud. See the FAQ section in:

but it may be too late if you have already created a new AppleID.
A few years ago Apple said they were working on allowing account merging, but it never happened (maybe objections from copyright holders).

Looking for 2 Product Solutions for eCommerce site created in Muse and published to BC

Seeking suggestions for 2 separate BC eCommerce website product applications: I have within BC so far about 200 image in the in a folder in the "File Manager" -AND- each image has been optimized as a low-res digital image down-load product (divided among 20 catalogs).
#1. Image downloads not for individual purchase but as (a bundle of 6 for one price) and (a bundle of 13 for second price) only.
I'm trying to customize two BC products a 6 Pack & 13 Pack of digital image downloads. Normally in BC, a visitor could purchase a single image as a downloadable product and after successful check-out they would receive an email containing the download links. I need to disable single unit purchases and enable the customer to ONLY select 6 images for one price -or- select 13 images for one price. After successful check-out they would receive links for either 6 download files or 13 based on their purchase. They could also purchase multiple pack sets.
#2. Allow the site visitor to select 12 images (from 200 images among 20 catalogs) for a 12 month custom calendar which would be printed and shipped. The BC product here would be a 12 month custom calendar. I have a product listed in BC as a "12-Month Custom Calender" and a display page titled the same. I have been looking into a drag n drop system that would allow the visitor to: purchase the product > select 12 images > submit their select by email to site admin.
I have limited coding skill and I should mention that I originally created and continue to add-on to the site with Adobe Muse. Because I chose to use Muse, I have been looking for solutions that I can embed in Muse pages as "Objects" as Muse will over-write BC custom elements as it is over-written. I have looked at either using a 12 field drag n drop which might work but I can't determine how to make the 20 catalogs available on the same page to select from.
Can ANYONE offer suggestions?
Thanks

Sorry but in no way will you get that to work using Muse.
You need to custom trigger the core functionality BC fires to add to cart in the system as well as update the visuals etc, and also overcome some of the BC scripting and what that does and function overrides etc. You need a high end front end developer at the least to be able to help you, and not using Muse.

How should we be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting our ODC files using Excel 2013 for use in Project Server 2013 Online?

Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
My questions are as follows:
I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder. I have English and French users in our environment. Do I need save them twice? Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
Likewise for the Excel file?
How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel? By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder. I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:

Thanks in advance,

Thank you Guilaume. May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me? If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)? Or does
that defeat the purpose? Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA? Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc). As you can see I am a bit confused.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Creating a first time site

what is a good stage size for building a web site in
flash...... I use to know the pixel dimensions but since I have
been out of the loop I totally forgot.
also I want to create "growing effect" in that I have these
really artsy curly lines I created in Illustrator.... but I want to
make them look as if they are growing from the side of my page....
I thought of using masks, but all the masks I do are simple
rectangles and it wouldn't give the effect of the lines "growing"
any advice in creating this effect??

there is no preferred pixel dimension - it depends on your
site design and target audience:

My boss cannot create a new subfolder by pressing "new folder" until he's already saved the file to his desktop. A "read only" error appears the first time. Is there a way to create and save to subfolder directly? It's Mavericks/Macbook Pro

Hi, when my boss wants to save a new file in a new subfolder, he presses "new folder" but cannot create a new one because a “read only” error box appears. Once he saves the file to his Desktop he clicks on “save as” again and then he can create a new subfolder by pressing “new folder.” Is there a way to create and save to a subfolder directly without having to first save somewhere else?

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Hi Srinivasa,
I guess, you didn't completed the initial setup schemaprep and adprep before starting the installation. You can do it as follows:
1. Open command Prompt as administrator and browse to the root of installation cd and run Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
After finishing this,
2. Setup.exe /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:"<organization name>" /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
3. To prepare all domains within the forest run Setup.exe /PrepareAllDomains /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms. If you want to prepare a specific domain run Setup.exe /PrepareDomain:<FQDN of the domain you want to prepare> /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
4. Once you complete all of the 3 steps, install the pre-requisities for Exchange 2013
5. Finally, run the setup program
Hope this will help you

I've installed Flip4Mac WMV in Lion and when I try to listen to audio in some sites, it starts playing and after about 0.5 seconds it starts playing again. So, I have the same thing playing with a delay... What is happening and how to fix it?

I've installed Flip4Mac WMV in Lion and when I try to listen to audio in some sites, it starts playing and after about 0.5 seconds it starts playing again. So, I have the same thing playing with a delay... What is happening and how to fix it? Is there any other way to play theese kinds of files without using Flip4Mac WMV?

Use Flash Media Server to stream the files.......set up a timer and have all three of them play at once....and have a button switch the streams depending upon which stream you want to play.....and wallah......
you can also capture the stream.time from the video playing and resume from that point on the other videos as well....havent done this theoretically so I dont know how smooth the transistion between streams will be....but it can be done....
plus u may have to use double buffering techniques to make sure it starts up right away......

How many sites can i create and publish in iweb?

i know its a dumb question - but i created and published a site for my daughter - and now i want to create one for my business. is this possible? do i simply go under file>new site, and make another one? or will it delete the site i made for my daughter?
please help!! are there third party software solutions for this if it is an issue? any strong recommendations?
THANKS
taz

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To add to Mirielle's comment regarding iWebSites let me add that I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
