Flash app that allows users to create mini animations
Hi,
I am fairly new to flash, and was wondering if the community could point me in the right direction for my current project.
I am looking to build an app that allows end users to draw and save mini animations (simple predetermined shapes that move in 2D). So far I have a written a app that allows the user to draw a single frame using simple shapes and lines, but I am having some small troubles at this stage, and have not attempted to allow the user to animate or save the drawing.
If anyone knows of a tutorial or some other resource to put me on the right path I would be very grateful. I can also share what I have if anyone would be willing to give me some pointers (I am going to assume that as a newbie, my code could use a lot of improvement).
Regards,
Robbie Vos
Hi Andei1,
Thanks for the input. I figured that the save functionality would be a little difficult.
However, if I can get the basic app going (allowing users to create mini animations) I think I should be able to get save going with some (ok, alot) of effort.
Regards,
Robbie Vos

why not actually use a spreadsheet program? You can do everything you describe in Excel. i don't use apples equivalent, Numbers, but Im sure it is quite capable.

There is Dragon Dictation for iOS. How well it works depends on how clearly you speak so YMMV. It's free so worth a try. -
Any way to create a form that allows users to create profiles that can be viewed by other users?
I'm working on a social media site, and I would like to give users the ability to create simple profiles that can be viewed by other users. Is there any way I can do this in Muse CC? Any good resource websites with code I can embed?
Muse form widgets can only email the form submission data to a specified email address for non-BC hosting at this time. For BC with webCommerce plan and above, this should be possible with the help of webApps however, that is an advanced topic and would require some knowledge of CMS and HTML to implement <http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/web-apps.html>.
Also this will not be possible with Muse on its own as Muse outputs static pages only and what you are looking for requires backend technology to work (that BC offers).
Thanks,

Looking for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for playlists to migrate to iPad
I am specifially and exclusively looking for recommendations for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for my playlists to be migrated to iPad intact and playable.
iTunes -> Podcast/Music/Videos does not support mixed (music/video/podcast) playlits or video playlist at all. The app(s) should be able to easily create these playlist on the Mac (and manage content) much like iTunes (10).
On the phone with tech support today and they agree this is missing functionality from Apple. They suggested I reach out on to other users that may have a thrid party solution.Requires each device/user have an unique Apple ID(verifiable email address):
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8
Otherwise you can use Find My Phone, but requires logging in for each separate user. Find My Friends(built by Apple) will show everyone's location on one device. -
Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered? It was described to me as a dvd matrix menu but I can't find anything like it for mac. The idea is that there are multiple videos on the dvd menu and you can choose to play "video A, then B, then C" or "video B, then C, then A", etc, in different orders each time. And it would play the sequence that you choose.

I think that's on the right track but I'm wanting something that allows the viewer to choose the sequence when they're looking at the DVD menu. I only see how the creator of the DVD can make different sequences. It's a yoga tutorial DVD and we are wanting the viewer to be able to pick a sequence from the menu items as such: pick one of the 3 warm-up videos, then pick one of the 2 yoga practices and then pick 1 of the 3 cool-down videos and then the dvd will play the sequence of selected warm up, practice, then cool down. And it can be differently chosen every time the viewer uses the menu.
You can do this on a DVD with DVD Studio Pro.
DVD's have some very basic storage called SPRM/GPRM scripting IIRC.
There are a few tutorials around for DVDSP…
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/dvd_language_nattress.html
http://www.digitalproducer.com/article/DVD-Studio-Pro-Scripting-Part-4-28784
You use scripts to set values that are stored in a tiny amount of memory on the player & then have to use additional scripts to respond to the values set, so that at the end of a sequence it will jump to the one a user previously chosen.
Some things to consider…
DVD's have limits on the number of chapters & titles, you need to plan around that.
Some DVD players are terrible to navigate, the settings that a user selects will be forgotten when the player is powered off. Users will need to make the choices over & over, every time they use the DVD (computers may remember it - I haven't tested this in years).
You will also need to setup many variations of menus to be able to indicate what selections they chose.
It is not a trivial task, you may want to hire a programmer to set it all up.
Testing is also a lot of work - too many combinations can quickly cause issues for testing, different players can also do odd things too.
I have used scripting for basic, 'play all' or 'play chapter' menus where the video is encoded once on the DVD & the scripts will either play through, or simply play a chapter & return to the same menu.
You may find that it would be better to invest in setting up a website with this. On a custom site it would be possible for users to save a playlist or several, they can also share playlists etc, it would be more flexible & usable IMO.
See roaring apps for info on others who have used DVD Studio Pro with various OS's…
http://roaringapps.com/app/dvd-studio-pro …it looks like 10.8 may be the last OS to work correctly with DVDSP.
Other DVD authoring apps may be able to do GPRM scripting too, but you will have to search for them.
I think the registers are part of the DVD spec, so devices should support them, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video -

I would like to know if there is such an app that allows my iPhone to act as a remote for my iPad ie if I'm recording something on my iPad I can use my iPhone to press record/play/pause/forward or rewind my iPad via my iPhone
As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it. So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it. Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information. Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC). -
I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wrong?
Good to know — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
"Adobe" is the name of the company.
"XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
"Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both?
Be well.... -
IPhone app that allows cable transfer of files and viewer feature
Hi Guys,
Now I'm really getting desperate...
Does anyone know of an app that allows you to transfer files to your iPhone via the USB cable and has a partner iphone app that allows you to view the files.
I'm looking specifically for PDF and Html viewer.
I can't use the WiFi and can't download using 3G...too expensive.
I've tried a few apps thus far but they allow you transfer files to locations that the iphone apps cannot access.
Kind regards,
Neelan
Kind regards,
NeelanThere used to be an app that did this called "FileAid". The app was free, but to use it you need to purchase an app called "DiscAid" from the developer. It allowed for file transfers between iPhone and computer using a USB cable or wifi. Recently, the app was changed AT APPLE'S REQUEST to eliminate the USB functionality. Why? I have no clue, other than having this feature took away from Apple's MobileMe file transfer functionality. I did NOT accept the upgrade. Below is an email I received from the developer.
What really irks me is that I paid for the DiscAid app. By removing this functionality, Apple has ripped me off. Fortunately, the developer has more integrity than Apple has.
"As a DiskAid user, you might be using FileAid to view files on your device.
If this is your case you are maybe aware already: we had to upgrade FileAid 1.4 to 1.5 and we changed the name to FileApp, incidentally.
The USB connectivity within FileApp was removed and we did not want that: it was not our choice but the consequence of a decision taken by Apple, nor did we wanted to have to rush to release it.
Besides, all iPhone Apps supporting the USB file transfer will be affected by that.
We were very upset about Apple's decision not to let our users enjoy the simplicity and efficiency of USB file transfer, but we had no choice as you can imagine. We are very sorry about that.
DiskAid (USB transfer tool) is still perfectly functional for file storing and iPhone/iPod Touch filesystem access but FileApp won't let you view your files on the device.
It is probably pretty uncommon, but we would like you NOT to UPGRADE to FileApp in the App Store automatically, but to read the following carefully before:
Why Should you Upgrade:
If you have a jailbreak on your device
If you are a FileAid user only using WiFi connection for transferring files - WiFi connectivity issue fixed
Why You Should NOT Upgrade:
If you are using FileAid on a device without jailbreak in conjunction with DiskAid - USB no longer supported
If you have upgraded on your iPhone by mistake (or you missed the upgrade information notice prior upgrading on your iPhone) you have the ability to downgrade to FileAid if you haven't upgraded within iTunes on your desktop and you haven't performed a sync!
To do so:
1 - Check that you have FileAid in your iPhone apps within iTunes on your computer
2 - Delete the FileApp app from your iPhone (or iPod Touch)
3 - Select FileAid within the app tab in iTunes and press sync
If a message appears warning that you have a more recent version of this app on the device, accept: it will install FileAid instead of FileApp
If you have upgraded to FileApp directly in iTunes on your computer, delete it before sync (if applicable) and the FileAid app will be copied back onto iTunes at next sync.
It is a real issue for us, as the ability to browse files transferred via USB within our iPhone app FileAid was a great feature within the DiskAid program we will sure suffer from that - but we won't let our loyal customers take the blame.
We would naturally refund users that claim for, even beyond our refund policy (up to 60 days).
Also if you had a good time while the trick lasted, or if you feel any sympathy for us and you think that your purchase could subsidize the development and maintenance of the free version of the FileAid/FileApp and you do not request a refund, we would thank you in advance for your support!" -
What is the minimum permission level that allows users to view draft documents, other peoples' draft documents?
Normally a person creates a draft document and when they are ready they publish it and the Approver approves it. However, what if a power user needs to be able to see all draft documents. Not just their own but other peoples'. What is the minimum permission
level that allows then to do this?
Cheers,
Mark
Learning SharePointHi Mark,
Per my knowledge, there is no minimum permission level that allow users to view their own and other people’s draft documents.
This is based on the Draft Item Security setting you choose for your list in Versioning Settings:
You can follow the detailed steps in the link provided by Avni.
Best regards.

Allow users to create reports based on their own selection of fields
Is there a way to allow users to create reports based on their own selection of fields?
And if there is a way, then how?
In access we retrieve all demographic info on one screen and on another screen user can be able to choose specific fields from a list box to import data into file.Hi,
This can be handled in various ways - but the principles are the same.
You need to apply conditional displays to all of the columns that your user can select and base the display of a column on the value of a field on the page.
You can have a series of Yes/No options - one for each field and base the display on the corresponding field being Yes. Or you can use checkboxes.
However, if you wish to use a multiselect list (which is probably easier as you can dynamically generate the list of field names), you will need to have hidden fields that will store either Y/N or 1/0 (I use ones/zeros) and have the conditional displays watch these fields instead. Populating these hidden fields is a bit more tricky than just having fields on the page that the user can control, but is doable:
1 - Create one hidden field for each field in the report that you want to show/hide. Put these fields in the same region as the select list in a region above the report
2 - Set conditional display values to "Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2" and use the appropriate hidden field for Expression 1 and in Expression 2 enter in 1
3 - Create a page process that runs on submit, and create PL/SQL code something like:
DECLARE
lFields HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
vField VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
:P31_SHOW_EMPNO := 0;
:P31_SHOW_ENAME := 0;
:P31_SHOW_JOB := 0;
:P31_SHOW_MGR := 0;
:P31_SHOW_HIREDATE := 0;
:P31_SHOW_SAL := 0;
:P31_SHOW_COMM := 0;
:P31_SHOW_DEPTNO := 0;
lFields := HTMLDB_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(:P31_FIELDS);
FOR i IN lFields.FIRST..lFields.LAST LOOP
vField := lFields(i);
IF vField = 'EMPNO' THEN
:P31_SHOW_EMPNO := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'ENAME' THEN
:P31_SHOW_ENAME := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'JOB' THEN
:P31_SHOW_JOB := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'MGR' THEN
:P31_SHOW_MGR := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'HIREDATE' THEN
:P31_SHOW_HIREDATE := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'SAL' THEN
:P31_SHOW_SAL := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'COMM' THEN
:P31_SHOW_COMM := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'DEPTNO' THEN
:P31_SHOW_DEPTNO := 1;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
4 - Finally, add a button that generates the report - this just needs to submit the page and branch back to the same page
I've used the standard EMP table for this example and my hidden fields are P31_SHOW_fieldname. The code resets the hidden fields to 0, checks if the user has selected the field from the list (P31_FIELDS) and changes the hidden fields value to 1 for all those selected. When the page is re-rendered, the report hides the columns where the hidden field value is 0 and displays those where it is 1. The export option will then only export those fields that are displayed.
You can see an example of this here:

Trial and error.
I wish I had a better answer for you, but that pretty much encapsulates it. There is some, but not much, good wisdom out there, but it takes a significant amount of experience to be able to recognize it. The software development community if currently afflicted with a case of copy-and-paste-itis. And the prognosis is poor.
The solution is to be brutal to yourself and others. Focus on what you need and ignore everything else. Remember that other people have their own needs and methods and they might not be applicable to you. Apple, for example, can hire thousands of programmers, set them to coding for six months, pick the best results, and have the end-users spend their own time and monety to test it. If you don't have Apple's resources and power, think twice about adopting Apple's approach. And I am talking from a macro to a micro perspective. Apple's sample and boilerplate code is just junk. Don't assume you can't do better. You can.
Unfortunately, all this takes time and practice. You can read popular books, but never assume that anyone knows more than you do. Maybe they do and maybe they don't. It takes time to figure that out. Just do your best, ignore the naysayers, and doubt other people even more than you doubt yourself.
