Flash for a Business interactive presentation?

i work at an orthodontist office. we thrive on using
everything high tech or new technology. and are adding touch screen
all in one computers into our new patient rooms for parents to
interact with and learn about our office. I use flash at home for
personal use and enjoy all it has to offer. i was wondering if it
could be used to create a rich multimedia presentation that parents
could interact with and still be simple enough not to be overkill.
we currently run Powerpoint presentations on LCD tvs around the
office but powerpoint is very limited and cheesy.
my questions are. would Flash be a good way to go or does
adobe or anyone else offer a better solution? if flash would work
good. how would i go about doing it best, design as an offline
webpage and just run that?
My knowledge in this area is very limited right now as i only
use these products for recreational use and tinkering(networking
and computer management is more my specialty). this is a good way
for me to apply my tinkering to good use and enjoy it while helping
my job. i would love to make a very rich and professional project.
any input is much appreciated.
thanks

flash works well with touch screens. what you create, its
appearance and functionality depends on your skills, imagination
and needs.

Can i use flash for ui and interact with c++ builder for the rest

i know flash can be used in c# in visual studio but i dont remember a thing of this interaction.
is it possible to interact with c++ builder and how?
the scenario is simple
use flash for UI (showing-viewing data) maybe for a kiosk or something without mouse simply with touch input,
use c++ builder for the rest , database connection data proccessing etc
any info will be greatly appreciated
thanks

I would advise proper punctuation and grammar on a public forum, but to answer your questions, yes, yes you can! Flash can be used to produce any commercial imagery or animations for the purpose of making profit, as long as you have a valid license you purchased from Adobe. You bought it, you can use it for whatever you want.
By "book", I assume you mean the "tutorial" book series made by Adobe? If so, the name of the series is "Classroom in a Book", there's one for each versions of Flash. Personally it hasn't been of much use and I would advise simply practicing by yourself and getting familiar with the tools. Look for online tutorials and publicly available projects and see how they work.

Help creating interactive presentation for iPad using InDesign

Hello All,
So I have some very basic experience using Adobe programs for my personal business solutions. Primarily photoshop. But I just got InDesign CS6 as it was recommend for creating an interactive presentation for an iPad.
Before I get to my main question I'd like to give you the basics on my needs for such presentation. I currently own a residential painting company and we have a printed client manual we use at our sales presentations to cover our services for prospective clients. I would like to create an interactive presentation, document, whatever (is easiest and will provide the best experience) for our sales reps to use on iPad devices. This presentation will ideally be between 20-30 pages long, with a main menu and 4-5 subtopics with page links, video & picture inserts, working web links, GIF's, and anything else that might spark customer interest or be an effective sales tool.
We are trying to integrate everything for use on the ipad for our sales presentation because we can use it as an all in one tool. Specifically for our client manual, schedule, job locations, credit processing, etc... Also, I see a video review on an ipad much more powerful tool than the boring written reviews we have right now.
Anyways, I really have absolutely no idea what I am doing. I have learned Adobe programs from scratch in the past, and I am looking for any beginner advice or resources you guys may have. Maybe some good starting points or examples of presentation templates for ipad use, functionality, etc... Really lost in the fog right now, and just looking for a little beginner guidance.
Any help or advice is grealty appreciated
Thanks
Tim

Tim,
I believe you can get more specific help over here:

You may (re)consider the presentation format. A PDF (which may be created from an InDesign document) may an option for identical appearance (requiring sufficient pixel x pixel size of all appliances used. Otherwise, a floating (reflowing) format may be more appropriate. In the latter case, InDesign may be a dead end.

HTML5 canvas app: flash for presentation layer

Hi there,
I'm a html frontend developer, so I'm quite new to this flash environment.
For a project we're doing right now, however, we decided to go with flash for asset management and presentation layer development.
So we have an MVC javascript project "finished" already, that uses assets exported from a HTML canvas project in flash pro cc. Right now all functionality is coded inside the javascript project, and only assets, animations, etc are loaded from the exported fla. This seems to work fine. However, there is still a strong connection between the javascript views and the exported assets. Right now we're in the position where we need to reskin the whole application, and to allow external developers to design skins as well. This strong connection between assets and views is becoming a problem.
For example, at a certain point in our application we have to show a list options with a variable length. So we draw a container in flash that will contain the list, add a mask, create a scrollbar, etc. Then we have code in the javascript project that uses all these elements, adds displayobjects to the container, scroll the whole thing up and down, etc... That means that a skin designer, who only has access to the fla, is unable to make, for example, a theme where this list is shown horizontaly instead of vertically.
I was wondering how other people handle these scenarios?

you'd have to code and create the graphics for horizontal scrolling just like you did for vertical scrolling

How much flash storage do I need for 13" Air for work/business?

Hello - I have a 2010 15" MBP that I use for home and business, but I've decided a need a lighter, more portable notebook to take to/from the office, on business trips, etc. I'm not familiar with flash storage, but I've been fairly happy with my current MBP response times. It has 4GB of storage which is nearly at capacity with my entire iTunes library and a number of movies I have stored on it, but I don't need the MBP optical drive and all of those media files with me when on the road. I would primarily use my MBA for Keynote or PPT presentations, playing short form video, MS Office and Web access. I plan to keep my MBP as my main workhorse PC at home for as long as it holds out, and use the 13" Air as a portable notebook.
So... do you think the standard 256 GB of flash storage likely sufficient for me, or should I spend the extra $500 for additional capacity?
And is it reasonable to assume I'll be able to transfer working files easily between my Pro and my Air 2-3x/month via a Thunderbolt/Firewire adapter, or should I just move everything to the Cloud?
Thanks!

As long as you aren't planning on storing a large collection of large movies and you have reasonably sized media (iPhoto/iTunes) libraries, you should have no trouble working with 256GB of storage.
As for transferring things, I would say that anything that is "mission critical" should still be retained (and backed up!!) locally. But for general documents, iCloud and other cloud services (Dropbox, etc.) work just fine (and have the added advantage of making things available to view/edit on mobile devices).
Also, in regard to transferring files, you might want to consider AirDrop, which you can read more about here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11376
Hope you enjoy your MacBook Air!

Which program for basic business presentations?

Forgive me but I need to ask for advice on what program to use for video editing for basic business presentations. I think Premiere Pro is way beyond my needs, mainly in terms of learning curve (as well as the cost).
For what it's worth, I'm an avid Adobe user, and have been for years, for other programs: I currently use InDesign, Photoshop Elements, Dreamweaver, Audition, and Acrobat Standard (and also subscribe to the Acrobat Connect service). So, I don't feel too bad asking this forum to recommend "different" software for video editing. (Maybe Premiere Elements is best for me, but maybe not.)
I do not have any experience in video editing, and I do not have any time for a significant learning curve. I also don't need to do anything fancy.
I bought a MiniDV camcorder (Panasonic PV-GS300). I'm using a PC (3.6G, 1G RAM, half the 160G HD available, though I'll have to add a Firewire PCI card shortly) and Windows XP Pro. I'll get tripod lights and a good headworn mic. I use Nero Burning ROM 6 to burn DVDs (I've used its simple wizard to convert files and burn DVDs).
My purpose is to create about a dozen or so 6- to 12-minute clips consisting mainly just of me standing and giving a verbal speech and with some still images created from the computer (PDF, GIF, or whatever) stuck in between the video (I'll probably want some of the speech from the video taping, or else some speech I create in Audition, to play through the showing of the still images).
I'm not concerned with fancy video effects! I don't need it and I can't justify the learning curve (or cost) for it! Fades in and out are probably as advanced as I will get, though I really don't even need that.
I'll want to create the videos in file formats for Windows and for Mac, and to put them on our web site for streaming video as well as burn DVDs.
I'm sure I'll want to be able to adjust the image sizes and file sizes by choosing the tradeoff level with quality, though I hope there will be a set of standard defaults. I also really need good user forum support (I have no idea if Premiere Elements is enough for me but I sure have come to rely on the users on the Adobe forums).
I need to ask whether I should get Premiere Elements or... yes, I know it's blasphemy but I swear I'm a loyal member of the clan in all other ways... whether there is another video editing program that's light-weight enough to be pretty quick in getting through the learning curve for the basics I want, and that's relatively inexpensive. (I've been told on one forum... blasphemy again, I know... that I should look into Vegas 7, but the price and sophistication seem way beyond my needs based on an initial glance on the web -- but maybe I should just spring for it and go. It also seems Vegas 7 is more practical for my needs than Premiere Pro -- but I'm really hoping I'll be pointed at much lower-end programs.)
I really appreciate any advice I can get. I run a small business with big growth ahead (I have a tiger by the tail) and need to jump on this and to do it myself for now, and I just do not have a lot of time for learning.
Thanks so much!
Jay

OK, fair questions.
In my opinion, the learning curve for the most commonly used 95% of the programs is exactly the same between Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements. It really is. Capture video, figure out what you want on the timeline, put it on the timeline, add transitions, add music, export to something a DVD program can use, all of that. It is darn near identical.
However... then you decide you want to do something interesting. You come online and we tell you that is it very simple. Just use Premiere Pro to do... oh, wait, you don't have Pro? Just Elements? Too bad.
OK. Then you say "How do they make those great motion titles?". We say "It's easy, just use one of the text animation presets in After Effects". What? No After Effects? Too bad.
So let's say you like using After Effects for titles and you decide you want to expand your knowledge. Simple. Get some projects from Dean Velez and modify them to suit you. Do you need to learn it all at one time? No. Just what you need when you need it.
This is one reason that if you buy the Production Premium, one of the choices for extra goodies is a one month subscription to Lynda.com to watch their tutorials.
Spend the time watching the tutorials. If something catches you eye, write down where you saw it so you can go back and really learn it.
Just because you own a hammer and a saw and other hand tools doesn't mean you need to learn to be a carpenter. It just means that when your wife asks you to do something, you will have the required tools so you can go on the web and learn how to do that task, without having to run to Home Depot - which may be closed at the time you need it.
I originally bought Premiere 6.0 and when I went to an Adobe demo at DVExpo in NYC back in 2002 I saw an After Effects demo. I called from the Adobe booth to order After Effects. Why? When I saw that the learning curve was only hard if you tried to tackle the whole thing, and I realized I could just use the part I needed, my whole opinion changed.
If you only used After Effects for text in motion and for Stills in motion (Ken Burns and much more), you would get your money out of it. And that stuff can be learned in 15 minutes. Add in the real need for you, the chroma key, and the time savings is HUGE. You really need to know less to use Keylight than you do to use Premiere Pro to attempt the same thing.
Having the full version of Photoshop is nothing more than you have now. Until you need more. Then you have it.
The ability to use all of the Adobe products together outweighs any Vegas or Avid (consumer) advantages.
Besides, we are much more helpful on this forum than those other guys! ;)

Offline Interactive Form Upload for creating Business Transaction

Hi All,
I am using CRM Web Request for creating Business Transaction through Offline Interactive Adobe Form.
For that i have done PDF upload coding and then converting the PDF form to XML format.
Now the XML format of form is converted to string from xstring.
And then passing the XML to function module CRM_WEBREQ_EXTERN_CREATE_DOC along with the corresponding request category configured for the web request.Created the corresponding request category structure also.
still the business transaction is not getting created, the following error message is coming "XML incompatible for data structure of request category" .
Please respond if anybody has done the same scenario.
Or is there any other process that can be followed to upload offline interactive adobe form to create one order object.
Regards,
Madhu

Hi Maarten,
Is that aatribute binded to Dropdown field lying under a node of cardinality 1..1??
I think if that's so, ur error can be resolved by just putting this attribute in a node with cardinality 1..n.
Hope this helps..!!
Thanks,

Is there any where that I can voice why I returned my beloved new Ipad? I was told I could move my Keynote presentations to it and then use it for my business presentations. Unfortunately that turned out to not be true. I need the IPad to work with a remo

Is there any where that I can voice why I returned my beloved new Ipad? I was told I could move my Keynote presentations to it and then use it for my
business presentations. Unfortunately that turned out to not be true. I need the IPad to work with a remote.
The Ipad is on a short cable to my projector. I am usually on a podium 30 feet away. No infra red receiver on the IPad and
the Iphone remote needs wi fi which is not always available in all the locations I do my teaching and lecturing in.
If you can build a remote into the Ipad in the future I would really like to use an Ipad to replace my heavier lap top for business travel. Thank You Kathy McNeil.

Get a longer cable?

Flash, Flex, AIR Which is best for producing small interactive apps?

Hi
I posted to the flash forum but really looking for feedback from flash, flex, AIR users as well
I'm looking for the forums thoughts and advice on which of Adobe's current technology set (CS5) is best suited for creating small interactive applications/packages by users who would not have any background in coding and very little interest in learning coding.
The idea is that users would know basic drag & drop development and maybe extend it to include some basic scripting to wire up elements of it. The ability to develope applications for a range of access points (website, mobile, desktop) would also an added benefit
The over arching idea would be to let the users create some apps/programmes/packages quickly on any topic they like but not bog them down with coding
Which CS5 technologies would be best for that

I don't see how it would be any different for mobile than for desktop, considering the biggest difference is frame-size.
Flash Builder is very good at building fluid layouts. VERY good. By extension, Catalyst, built on the same framework, should be too (haven't seen the final version, but the betas were looking good in this regard).
The entire platform has been getting optimized for mobile creation lately, and CS5 should have a lot of tooling towards that end.
I would suggest downloading the trial version of the softwares when they are released (supposed to be mid-may) and playing around with it before you decide.
If you want to, you can hit up labs.adobe.com to download the beta of Catalyst right now, which might give you the answers you need. (Flash Builder was already released, and is available on adobe's site for trial download currently)

Shockwave Flash may be busy or it may have stopped responding error. Can the Mozilla team fix this for Firefox 34?

Hello people, sometimes I would get the message "Shockwave Flash may be busy or it may have stopped responding". There is no way I can fix this. I have tried Google and they don't show tutorials on how to permanently fix this. What year is this? 2002? Not it's not. It's almost 2015. Can you please fix this for Firefox 34 or newer?

Shockwave Flash is an Adobe product - it's up to them to fix it. All we can do here at Mozilla Support is offer suggestions that have worked for us and other users.

Web Conference: https://conference.oracle.com/imtapp/app/cmn_jm_hub.uix?mID=150764532
BIWA Wednesday TechCast Series - Sixth Event!
This presentation will showcase different options for OBIEE-based Analytical Reporting such as:
1) Oracle BI Applications for supported Oracle E-Business Suite Modules and other Oracle Applications.
It will include real world experiences for implementing BI Apps Version 7.9.6
2) Custom OBIEE Development against E-Business Suite (when no BI apps are available)
3) Migration of Discoverer EUL to OBIEE RPD using Migration Utility
While OBIEE and BI Apps are clearly the strategic analytics reporting direction from Oracle, only certain Analytics applications are available. Sometimes all customer needs for BI reporting may not be met by these pre-built analytics. For instance, JD Edwards has pre-built ETL connectors only for Financial Analytics. While more BI Apps and ETL connectors are in the pipeline, how can users meet their reporting needs today as they go live in near future? In this session, we will look at several short and medium term solutions without deviating from the long term strategic goal of using pre-built BI applications to reduce the overall risk.
Several real life situations will be evaluated with demonstration of the steps involved such as how to Migrate Discoverer reports to OBIEE with the highest degree of automation. Likewise, we will cover how DBI views be used for custom OBIEE reporting.
Presenter: Shyam Varan Nath is an OBIEE Architect for IBM Global Business Services with extensive experience in implementing OBIEE and BI Apps. He has worked on several Oracle Data Warehousing Projects for customers including Citigroup, Air Force, Land O'Lakes, and Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. Shyam has been a Certified Oracle DBA since 1998 and has 18 years of industry experience.

Which Adobe product should be use to create interactive presentations?

We have an interactive presentation that we developed for a client a few years ago in Flash. The client is concerned that Jobs has hurt the future of Flash as a development tool. Is there another Adobe product that we should switch to or is Flash still the premier product? Note: I need something sophisticated enough to do complex animations (many moving parts with masks). Play back has to look good with possible auto and video intergration. At the moment mobile/tablet is not an issue but may be desired in the future.

Two primary considerations, IMO.
1. If the product is already developed in Flash, and still works fine for all target devices, and maybe just occasional/simple updates are needed here and there..
2. If mobile delivery of the product is not at all required.
Then stick with Flash.
BUT if mobile is going to be a targeted platform, or the product needs a significant revision, then consider another approach.
Tools like Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, and Trivantis Lectora are solid tools for creating HTML5 (mobile-compatible) content...but since HTML5 support and the spec itself are still evolving, there are certainly more limitations on animation, interactivity, etc.
So the longer you can hold out updating the product to HTML5, using whatever tool you prefer, the better...but on the other hand, balance that against the efforts and updates you put into a Flash-based project that's likely going to have a limited future.

Error while changing the PO BOX value for a Business partner

Hi Friends,
We are getting an error when we try to change the PO Box value for a Business Partner.
We have the dependency like when we give the value for the PO Box we also need to give the postal code value. And also we have a specific format for the Postal code. We gave both the values (a valid postal code) and try to save the details, then error message "The attribute GUID of Organization (a Contact Person is assigned to) of the Business Object contact person is not valid" is displayed. We have no clue why there is a conflict for the contact person details.
Can any one suggest the reason for this?
Thanks & regards,
Swarna Seeta

Hi Swarna,
You are getting this message not because you have entered wrong Post code .It will come even if you try to change some other field and save it. This is because on saving a business object, the framework tries to validate all the associated objects depending on the relation.In this case the data in the mobile client is either not present or is no longer valid.
Check if the field of the Business object which is being shown as invalid, has some data in the table. Check the combo associated to it and from where the combo is doing the validation. The table from where the combo is doing the validation does not have that data and so the value is invalid.
Also compare the number of entries in smokna1sht table in ides and in CDB.

Count of number of campaigns executed for a business partner?

Hi all
I'm hoping someone can advise me on how to fulfil this requirement. Basically I need to find a way of ensuring that customers are only included in a maximum of five campaigns per month.
My current idea centres around
1) Creating an interaction object for each business partner every time they are included in an executed campaign
2) To execute a custom-developed program (or a BW query?) that will count the number of interaction objects created per business partner in the past month and write the count value to a marketing attribute called "campaign count" assigned to each business partner
3) Exclude any business partners with "campaign count" >=5 from the target group of future campaigns
I'm sure there's a cleaner and better way of doing this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Mike

Interactive presentation with hyperlinks on iPad (Keynote,ppt)

Hey there,
since 4 month I am trying to find a solution to this problem (See title). How is it possible that Apple can´t bring out an update for that? This is in my opinion one of the most important functions especially for companies who are presenting their work on iPads, having 50 slide presentations and need to switch from slide 34 to slide 4 and back. Anyways, it makes no sense having keynote without being able to use hyperlinks on the ipad...
*When is Apple bringing out an update?!* PLEASE APPLE! Is there any other possibility to make interactive presentation work on the ipad, keeping the hyperlinks and all the animations the way you created them on the mac or pc?
Thanks!

These are user to user forums and nobody here can tell you anything about Apple's plans. To ask Apple for new features, best use the channel they have set up for that:
