Flash gets bad reputation from lazy programmers

Hi all
I would just like to say Flash gets a bad reputation from
lazy programmers. I talk about flash with friends and they say
'Flash is to costly to bandwidth' or 'Flash files are to big for
the net' or 'I hate preloaders they take too long'.
I've learned that Vector graphics are the most efficient way
to display images on the net. People are loading unnecessary PNG,
JPEG or bitmaps in flash movies. Often they do not even optimize
the images. Even further they do not allow their Flash movies to
print the images to a printer. So why do lazy programmers do this?
I have created a site using Flash elements to illustrate the
content, and this is the most efficient method there is on the net.
Flash Vector graphics are faster, cheaper and better than the other
formats. If I have to hear another person complain about Flash
again!
Vector Graphics
driven site

I have to agree that Flash drawn graphics can provide a
substantial efficiency and clarity. I will use them whenever the
opportunity presents itself. But I don't think lazy programmers are
responsible for any sort of bad reputation that Flash might have...
I haven't heard that it has one.
At one end, programmers are just that, programmers, not
graphic artists, and they have to rely on others to create graphic
elements for them. And while Flash can be used to create some nice
drawings it does not have all of the features and capabilities that
software created for drawing has to offer, so graphics people are
more prone to use such software, it's what they are trained in,
which is why Flash often ends up with jpeg and png files. And alot
of web-based content utilizes complex imagery such as photographs,
3D renderings, and video... which Flash vector drawing cannot be
used to recreate.
And on the other end are those that use Flash almost solely
for animations and have little to no programming skills nor need
for any.
One of the nice things Flash does, which some of your friends
apparently take exception to, is provide preloading capability. Not
all of the preloading you see is always what lives in a flash file,
a good portion of that preloading could be image content and other
media that is dynamically brought into play later on. A very small
Flash file can end up presenting a very large amount of content
this way. Sure, in this microwave oven world we live in, nobody
likes a long wait, but I think it's better to wait the one time up
front than to have to wait every time some new piece needs to be
flown in from a server like your average web page often makes you
do.
You're not likely to find an anti-Flash attitude popping up
much in these forums... the folks that come here a usually those
who have fallen under its spell and seek to enhance their abilities
to use it.

the first advisor told me there are no apple store in brussel and you have to travel to paris ... it's not my fault if the advisor was not good trained ... i bought my iphone and he still on warranty to 27 December i will this iphone 5c repaired
it's a iphone 5c 16Gb from (sprint)
if this iphone is not repaired i will do a complaint !!!
thanks for understanding

Apple will not touch any iPhone that has been opened by anybody other than certified technicians, especially when they install an unknown battery from an unknown source. You have sacrificed any support and warranty from Apple:
"This warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries or protective coatings that are designed to diminish over time, unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports; (c) to damage caused by use with another product; (d) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external cause; (e) to damage caused by operating the Apple Product outside the user manual, the technical specifications or other Apple Product published guidelines; (f) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider ("AASP"); (g) to an Apple Product that has been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple; (h) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Apple Product; or if any serial number has been removed or defaced from the Apple Product, or (j) if the product is stolen or Apple reasonably believes that the product is stolen based on information provided by law enforcement authorities."

IP getting bad scoring on SenderBase

Hello,
I'm having an issue where a particular owner of a domain(IP 202.123.27.157) is getting a bad reputation from senderbase. The IP is not in any blacklists and the owner does use authentication for sending out mails.
Given that i implemented a few IronPorts at some clients, the guy contacted me to ask if there's a way to remove this bad reputation from Senderbase.
On Monday, they did disable a feature on their mail server where the server was sending out a reply to sender asking for authentication before the server accepts the mail. But they did disable that feature thinking that it might be the cause of the issue.
They have been using this IP and server since 4 years and why have this issue now?
Can someone pls help on how to contact Senderbase to get this IP reputation clearing?
thanks,
Vinesh

Sorry to hear that the owner of the IP range is having difficulty with respect to their mail getting delivered to other IronPort appliances that are implementing SenderBase Reputation Scoring.
However, allowing IP ranges/addresses to be modified or tampered manually or from a request would compromise the integrity of the system.
There is usually an event in the customer's network/environment that causes the reputation of the IP address to drop drastically and deviate into the negative range. Some common causes are computers in the network that get infected with a virus, become compromised and start expending a lot of unsolicited e-mail traffic(spam) that is generated from within the network and going out to the Internet. Thus, the cause of the company's IP address to become blacklisted and acquire a low SBRS score. Other causes are incorrect network settings on mail servers that allow them to become open relays.
The best way to increase the SBRS(senderbase reputation scoring) is to re-examine the firewall and mail servers at the outer perimeter of the network. They should be locked down so that only a few mailservers are allowed to relay through your IronPort appliances. When adding machines to the Relaylist, use specific IP addresses instead of open ranges or entire octets. If you feel that you've combed your network and don't see where the problem is, you may want to contact IronPort customer support will the IP address that has the low score and Support can assist in shedding some light into why that IP address/range garnered a low SBRS score.
Good luck!
Kevin

Apple's is getting a bad reputation because they hate Flash

I belive Apple is getting a really bad reputation because they hate flash. I have tried to address this issue on this forum earlier, but my post's just disappear after a few minutes -I am a Mac user and I am really shocked to see the censorship on this forum in action -reminds me of North Korea.

This is a user-to-user tech support forum. Since your question isn't a tech support issue and since other Mac users like yourself have no input on the Apple/Adobe tiff, there is nothing anyone here can do.
You are welcome to send feedback to both Apple, http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and Adobe, http://www.adobe.com/bin/webfeedback.cgi. It is quite obvious that they are both to blame for the situation. It is really just corporate grandstanding. They have both "saved face" now and are starting to work with each other again.
I am a Mac user and I am really shocked to see the censorship on this forum in action -reminds me of North Korea.
It isn't censorship. There is nothing anyone here can do about it. Such questions do nothing but initiate flame wars, as you can see by most of your responses so far. That is why they get deleted.
Furthermore, such questions do not go unnoticed. There are people who are drawn to such fights like moths to a flame.

I have a carillon 25 keyboard (bad choice, I know) and I can't get it to communicate with my mac at all! I'm running logic pro 9 and reason 5. I get signal in from my M Audio trigger finger so I know it isnt an entirely mac based problem. Thanks!!!

Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.
And driver? OS X driver?

Flash accidentally got uninstalled from my pc laptop (Chrome), and now won't even load websites so I can't download it. Can I copy it from my desktop? Or how do I get it back onto my laptop?

Flash accidentally got uninstalled from my pc laptop (Chrome), and now it won't even load websites so I can't download it. Can I copy it from my desktop? Or how do I get it back onto my laptop?

Hi micha164,
I am curious to know how did Flash Player get uninstalled from Chrome? If you can please share steps to reproduce how your Flash Plugin got Removed?
Also, Can you open chrome application Goto Chrome://plugins and See if Adobe Flash Player Plugin is Disabled? If yes, kindly enable Flash Player Plugin by clicking the [blue colored]enable link and restart the browser to see if the changes have reflected.
Because Flash Player cannot be uninstalled from Chrome using any uninstaller, as it is embedded part of the app installer/update and can only be removed if you remove the plugin reference from the location on disk. Possibility is that your plugin got disabled and did not get enabled after that.
Please see if it helps. If the above does not work then the only resolve is to update Chrome app. Please let us know if your query got resolved or not.

How to get color group from illustrator into flash

Hi,
I have difficulties with the color management between Illustrator and Flash.
I have the original vector files in Illustrator and would like to use the color groups, I have in Illustrator, also in Flash.
One way doing it is using the Kuler.
But I can not get the colors from Illustrator into Kuler.
Can someone advice how to manage that process?
Many thanks in advance!

I'm fairly new to this having only recently started using these tools again after six years, but will try to help! Go to "Explore", find a theme you like and click the "Edit" selection when you mouse over it. From there you can edit it or save a copy of it as is as whatever name you wish. In Photoshop or Illustrator, they will now show up in Adobe Color Themes (Window > Extensions > Adobe Color Themes) under "All Themes" in the drop menu. In these apps (and others that are Adobe Color Theme aware), any themes that you favorite on the site will show up under "My Favorites".
If you're using Fireworks, it's different as it still uses Kuler (Window > Extensions > Kuler). Themes you save or favorite on the site don't automatically show up there, however you can search for themes by name, and if you select "Custom" from the theme group dropdown, you can enter up to four names that will show up in that dropdown menu and produce as many results as the window can hold for an individual term. For instance, I saved a theme as "Copy of Industrial Calm" which if I enter in the search box, the "group" is a group of one. However, if I just type "Industrial", the window fills with options, yet there are MANY more results on the Adobe Color site and you would have to be specific to get the right one in that window.
Hope that helps.

I can't get an album from iPhoto to a flash drive

How do I get an album in iPhoto to a flash drive?How do I get an album from IPhoto to a flash drive????

Couple of things:
was able to use the iPhoto Export menu and export directly to an external flash drive. I was also able to select and drag the photos from iPhoto directly to the drive
Depending on the settings used that can yield exporting and dragging can produce very different results. This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
and apparently the limit on the number of files is above anything I have done so far.
The limit is to the number of items on the Tope Level I of the drive. I can't recall it exactly but it's a multiple of 32, hence the trick is to put the image into a folder, that way there's only one item at the top level.

Getting Bad Applet class name exception while opening applet.

Hi,
While opening an applet in my mac os x v10.6.8 machine i am getting "Bad Applet class name exception" which is working fine in mac os x v10.7.5.Java version in my mac is 1.6.0_43.Can anyone please help me to resolve this.

Apple barred Java from running on Macs in order to safeguard users by blocking Java 7 Update 11 and adding it to the banned list in XProtect.
This was the second time in two weeks that Apple had blocked Oracle's code from running on Macs. The threat was so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had recommended that all Java 7 users disable or uninstall the software until a patch was issued. This time Java is blocked through Apple's XProtect anti-malware feature.
Java has come under fire as the means by which hackers have been able to gain control of computers. In April 2012 more than 600,000 Macs were reported to have been infected with a Flashback Trojan horse that was being installed on people's computers with the help of Java exploits. Then in August Macs were again at risk due to a flaw in Java, this time around, there was good news for Mac users: Thanks to changes Apple has made, most of us were safe from the threat.
Unwilling to leave its customers open to potential threats Apple decided it's safer to block Java entirely.
In order to block older versions of Flash, Apple has updated its "Xprotect.plist" file so that any versions that come before the current one (version 11.6.602.171) cannot be used on a Mac. Users who have older versions of Flash installed will be greeted with an alert that says "Blocked plug-in," and Safari will prompt the user to update to a newer version.
Macs running OS X Snow Leopard and beyond are affected.
UPDATE for those running Lion or Mountain Lion:
Oracle on Friday February 1 released a new version reportedly addressing vulnerabilities seen with the last build.
Apple disabled Java 7 through the OS X XProtect anti-malware system, requiring users to have at least version "1.7.0_10-b19" installed on their Macs. The release dated February 1 carries the designation "1.7.0_13-b20," meeting Apple's requirements.
Oracle "strongly recommends" applying the CPU fixes as soon as possible, saying that the latest Critical Patch Update contains 50 new security fixes across all Jave SE products.
Update for Snow Leopard users:
Apple issued update 12 for Java for OS 10.6:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
Note: On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate.
If, after installing Java for OS X 2013-002 and the latest version of Java 7 from Oracle, you want to disable Java 7 and re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start functionality, follow these steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=en_US
Further update:
Apple issued this Java related security update No. 13 on February 19:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5666
and Update No. 14 on March 4: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5677
You should also read this:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT5672
The standard recommendation is for users to turn off Java except when they have to use it on known and trusted websites (like their bank). Javascript, which is unrelated despite the name, can be left on.

What can I do in Adobe that I can't in FCPX? + Why does FCPX have a bad reputation

Somewhere else, I was told that disgruntled Apple users where going to Adobe and leaving FCPX
Why is this?
What can be done in the Adobe suite of programs that isn't handled well in FCPX?
Is FCPX an all in one solution?
Does it allow me to do everything that can be done in After Effects for example? (I ask without actually knowing what After Effects is for - I've just heard it mentioned looadds)
Why does FCPX have a bad reputation?
I've read that it's not backwards compatible with previous version
That *****! But... doesn't effect me as I'm coming in as a new user
Thanks

Different editors have different needs, and while FCP X offers some really innovative features it lacks other things that some editors need in order to be competitive/get work in their environment. It is not just what you can actually edit (read: tell a story) with a piece of software but also about format support, workflows, collaboration to name just a few.
FCP X is an editor with a few effects built in, in addition to which you can get Compressor for output and Motion for VFX. Adobe actually offers a whole suite of products that range from editing to VFX, from color grading to Blu-Ray authoring.

FCP X is not an all-in-one solution. As I said above it is an editor with a few built-in effects and titles.
After Effects is for visual effects, green screen .... stuff like that. It is quite powerful but does not actually have anything to do with editing itself (that is Premiere)

Because when it was released many features that editors were relying on/accustomed to were missing (XML support to name only one at random) which caused many to switch to Adobe or Avid. That fact that some of these features were added back in subsequent updates didn't really seem to repair the damage.
Since you are a new user get the trial version and give it a go. You will need a fast machine with lots of RAM and fast external storage.

Philly man gets 17G bill from Verizon......and I'm in a similar boat!

New to this forum.
... I had purchased a USB 760 stick device and Data plan $59. per month a few months ago, so we could get internet access while on a camping trip........ Things went bad early on and have'nt gotten any better so far.
To save those of you from a longer story, which i just uploaded fully on my blog
http://ron-sheridan.blogspot.com/
the short of it is the news story "Philly man gets 17G bill from Verizon" (google it or just click on the link I put in my post) is incredibly similar to my problem. Any advice or help in resolving this ....short of fully paying what I consider outrageous fees for a service that could have been suspended or limited or ??
Thanks in advance.

Hello Budone,
Well, OK, first things first.
Yes, with such numerous responses each day on this site,,,, you are quite active ...........but, I can give you the benefit of any doubt. So, let's not get in anyones face but see if there is a way to make Verizon a more "Customer Friendly Place"...and maybe in the process figure out a way to solve about a thousand folks in my position.
Would that be something Verizon and you can feel ok about?
I don't know... what a fanboy is, but I think I'm getting your drift.
You mention the USB device(FOB?) Ok I'll learn the terms. Do YOU read all the crap that comes with everything we buy? coffee makers, door bells, even your credit card legalize...tons of blinding grayness................................. No you do not. It's in the trash. As soon as we open the item and WE, YES WE expect the device/product to work as expected (as we have learned to respect the market we live in.) we throw the crap away and go on with our busy lives. The glitches are an incredibly small fraction of the the one percent of our lives. I am there now, dealing with one of them and looking to find a way to make things better for anyone else in this predicument as well as Verizon's dealing with customers. I call that a WIN WIN if it's possible! how about you? I can not believe that IF Verizon wished, they could not make this system more user friendly and in doing so would gain a better reputation and less law suits/complaints. Isn't the whole thing about customer service? (and do not twist my words!)
I'm not a very computer literate person, I'm learning and struggling as are many... I DO NOT WANT OR EXPECT SYMPATHY! but I do expect a system that works for those that wish to be apart of the system that seems to need us as well as we need them! OK?
I accept responsibility. I'm a Vietnam Vet, Korean Vet, retired NYC. Firefighter, and now as a senior, still GIVE. But when I feel, FEEL that the "system" set up by an organization is faulty and can do better, I speak up.
