Future for Director ??

I've been using Director on and off since 1995 and when D7
users couldn't upgrade to MX we didn't upgrade. Now I see Adobe is
offering an upgrade path for D7 users for $399. But this begs the
question, what's the future for Director, moreso now that Adobe
owns the product?
I think Director is a great and powerful app, does anyone
have any insight as to a product refresh?
thanks.

Sugestions for Director 12

(hope someone in Adobe reads that)
Before its too late
1 Make life easier for tlash users who want to make some 3d,
add to Director only ONE more languages:
ActionScript2 ( AS3 sux )
2 game lybraries game lybraries game lybraries
3 a better IDE, dont even have to create a new one, copy the
flex one
4 help files with WORKING EXAMPLES
Adobe please never forget your market is NOT the old Director
users but the flash users that want to make some 3d but would
rather user papervision(bleargh) tham Director

I came across an interesting article by Colin Moock (good
Actionscript book author) regarding the controversy around AS2 vs
AS3; one and a half year after its release AS3 is still
controversial and not widely accepted among Flash developers. Moock
does some fine myth busting (by comparing AS1/AS2 vs AS3 line by
line showing that it isn't that different), and while he himself is
definetly an AS3 'fan', he also puts Adobe on the trial: has Adobe
killed multimedia??!!! Then he does a division which is what I
think is relevant in this discussion about Director as well: there
is the TOOL and there is the LANGUAGE. While AS3 is an enormous
improvement over AS2 is in its consequence and strict logic, this
is mostly to the benefit of engineers; not designers. While it is
fine that for instance ‘buttons’ now is an object like
any other, this/it requires a level of abstraction that is
irrelevant for the designer. Irellevant, irritating, disturbing;
hence counter productive. It is not that designers are stupid, but
this is not what they should use their intellectual resources for
anyway. Even if conceptually brilliant, you should not need to
write five lines of code for simple navigation. The solution
(inspired by Moocks article) is not to reintroduce or cling to old
ways, but to make things like simple naviagtion available in the
TOOL. This division makes sense to me, and I hope it will be
possible to keep these things separate when we discuss the future
of Director as well. Generally Director has been better off than
Flash. Originally our app had plenty of ‘visual
programming’, for instance pauses and transitions directly in
the Score, but this has been downplayed and not improved upon. In
Flash you can’t access individual Layers, while in Director
the Sprite is of course identical to the channel/layer, and
it’s a good thing. We also have had drag & drop
behaviours for simple navigation and such stuff for quite a long
time, but again: this needs to be done even better, so that it is
obvious that this is the right way and the best way. Do not open a
script window – for c&#% sake – for a simple
‘go to’!
Whether Lingo needs imporvement, or be exchanged with
something else, is another debate. I like Lingo, and for me it has
offered a fine gradual transition into more complex programming.
Whether Lingo offers ‘real’ or ‘fake’ OOP
is a moot point for +90% users; you don’t use any of that
anyway when you make a portifolio disk for a client.
As Moock also states, designing a good ‘tool’ is
not an easy task. From what I’ve read about the development
team in India, they seem to lack a deep understanding of what
Director is and needs to be. I don’t blame them, but if
they’re left alone in their development without interplay
from a strong reference group of actual users, I’m not too
optimisitic on Director’s future. Adobe seems to have killed
multimedia – for the time being – by letting Director
drift away, and while Flash is gaining popularity and kudos among
Java developers et al for AS3, the disperancy between that and the
visual environment most people actually is working in is becoming
larger; from a crack to a shaft. It's amazing that they're letting
this happen.

Open letter to adobe: What future for Fireworks?

Open letter to adobe: What future for Fireworks?
Hello, My name is Fred and I'm a Fireworks user since ever.
I prefer to warn you about my complete addiction to this software.
There's many discussions on this forum and others, on how you deal with Fireworks "improvements". Some say that you are in the process of discontinuing this program, others of a possible resale ... I even read some arguments about switching to Creative Commons license.
All this is the literal translation of a sincere concern!
Can you give us some answers on the future of Fireworks?
I think our community is quite alive and active, so I hope that you'll respond in a clear, fast answer.
Thank you in advance.
If I made huge mistakes of spelling and grammar, I apologize.
English is not my language.

From the looks of it, the writing is already on the wall. I own a Creative Cloud subscription and one of the main benefits touted for the Creative Cloud is regular updates and bug fixes. And every other app like Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Bridge, Lightroom, the Edge Tools, etc. have seen multiple nice updates as part of the Creative Cloud subscription which has made me a big fan of Creative Cloud.
All except for Fireworks.
Not a single update or bug fix has occured for Fireworks in Creative Cloud. Even for the simplest of things. I have reported typos in Fireworks that still have not been fixed. In fact, I think the only app in Creative Cloud that has not been updated is Fireworks.
So like I said, it seems the writing is on the wall. It's a shame too because even with its lack of care, it works phenomenally well for designing user interfaces. But now others are starting to catch up and people seem to be switching to alternatives because Fireworks appears to be a dead end.
Without Fireworks, Adobe doesn't have a single UI design app in their portfolio and in particular it seems lots of UI designers are jumping ship now from Adobe to Bohemian Coding and their Sketch app. I'm dumbfounded that Adobe has allowed this to happen.
From what I understand, the Sketch app is created by just two people which makes the inability to keep Fireworks updated all the more baffling.

The Shockwave for Director plugin is no longer working in Firefox 7 for mac

Dear Firefox,
I run a website which uses Adobe's Shockwave for Director plugin to view an animation. This plugin worked perfectly in Firefox for mac, up until Firefox 7. Firefox now sees it only as an unknown added plugin and the animation can no longer open. I have the latest plugin version installed from Adobe, which works fine in Firefox 7 for windows, in Safari (mac, win) and Internet Explorer (win). The Flash plugin is also working fine.
In the preference panel, I have allowed Adobe to install plugins. Do I need to change other settings? Is something stopping Firefox for mac from properly loading the plugin?
Many thanks for your help.

Have you tried this one?

Firefox 4b8 not working with Shockwave for Director 11.5.9.615

Have installed Firefox 4b8 and Shockwave for Director 11.5.9.615. 
Also have Firefox 3.6.13 with '''separate profile'''. 
Director plugin works fine in Firefox 3.6.13 but not in Firefox 4b8. 
Loading a Shockwave for Director page is initially blocked in both Firefox versions by NoScript;
*clicking on the space for the game/whatever loads in Firefox 3.6.13
*clicking on the space for the game/whatever in Firefox 4b8, the entire space for the game/whatever disappears and never re-appears
What I have already tried:
#Uninstalled Shockwave for Director and re-installed - no change
#Firefox 4b8 in Safe Mode - no change
#Tested Firefox 4b8 on Mozilla plugins site - shows correct current version
#Tested Firefox 4b8 on Adobe site with games - won't work (Firefox 3.6.13 works on same site)
#Copied '''''np32dsw.dll''''' to Firefox 4b8 installation folder/plugins, ran same tests -no change
Any suggestions?

Found a solution based somewhat on cor-el's reply with some interesting differences in Firefox 3.6.13 and 4b8. '''cor-el''', please see my question at the end.
I added the item (boolean) ''dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.np32dsw.dll'' in about:config and set it to false. There was no change. I changed the value of that item to true and the box/area where the SWF item was to be located on the page did not disappear as before -- that was an improvement! -- but the SWF item would not load.
I then discovered that I needed to allow a site (temporarily) in NoScript and everything worked.
Some interesting differences and findings in Firefox 3.6.13 and 4b8 regarding this situation; all based on the same web site behavior with the 2 versions of Firefox:
#preference ''dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.np32dsw.dll''
#*Firefox 3.6.13 '''does not''' require the preference to exist in order to work
#*Firefox 4b8 '''requires''' the preference, set to true, for everything to work as expected '''
#**the preference ''dom.ipc.plugins.enabled'' can be set to '''false''' or to true with no negative difference in behavior (the preference ''dom.ipc.plugins.enabled'' when set to false seems to be ignored when ''dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.np32dsw.dll'' is set to true)
#NoScript (same version and exactly the same settings in NoScript for both versions of Firefox)
#*Firefox 3.6.13 '''does not''' require user to temporarily allow any other domain for the item to work properly
#*Firefox 4b8 '''requires''' the user to temporarily allow another domain for the item to work properly
'''cor-el:'''
*Should I post this in Bugzilla for investigation?
*It would be good to know what the difference is in 4b8 that necessitates the 2 above items in 4b8 and not in 3.6.13 on the same web site.

Overhauling the Documentation for Director

Hi Everyone,
Please excuse this cross-post. You can also find it on the Direct-L mailing list and on the Director Online Forum. I will post a summary of answers to each of these places.
Rajnish Bharti, Product Manager for Director and Shockwave, asked me last week for my input on how best to overhaul the documentation for Director. In particular, he asked me to give him an idea of what the Table of Contents should look like.
You can find my first draft of the Table of Contents here:
http://www.openspark.com/adobe/Director_Documentation_01.zip
While preparing this, I contacted a number of Director teachers and trainers, talked to some newcomers to Director, consulted dozens of Director books (mostly from the Macromedia days) and pored over the various reincarnations of Director's own help.
Examples
Lots of real-life examples that you can copy and paste and
know that they will work
Images
Clear and concise screen shots that capture the essence of
a concept at a glance
Fast and Powerful Searching
Beginners don't know which menu item or scripting term they
are looking for. The search engine should help users to home
in from a layman's expression to the appropriate documentation
article. Articles should be intelligently cross-referenced.
I have suggested dividing the documentation into three sections:
1. Director Step by Step
A series of short hands-on tutorials which introduce all the
commonly-used features of Director in the context of simple
movies. Beginners can start here.
This section imagines that you have never used Director or
studied its documentation before. You select a project that
is similar to the one you are planning, and the documentation
shows you how to achieve your goal using Director.
Hyperlinks lead you to more in-depth entries in the Feature
Guide on how a feature works, or to the appropriate entry in
the Scripting Dictionary.
2. Feature Guide
This section will give detailed explanations of each feature,
category by category. It will be divided into three main
chapters:
The Workspace
Working with the various windows and menus
The Raw Materials
Understanding sprites, members, the various media types
and data types
The Process
Designing your project, animating sprites, using scripts
and publishing your work.
This section will give you a categorized view of what Director
does. It imagines that you start with a "How do I..." type of
question, and guides you to the appropriate part of the
User Interface or the correct scripting terms to use.
It will contain links both to the Step by Step tutorials and
to the entries in the Lingo Dictionary.
3. Alphabetical Scripting Dictionary
I have abandoned the idea of having the Dictionary divided
into categories. I believe it is much easier to find an
entry without having to wonder whether it is a keyword, a
method or an operator. If you don't know what entry you
should be looking for, the Feature Guide will help you. If
you do know the word you are looking for, then you only
need to know the alphabet.
Each entry in the Scripting Dictionary should link back to
the articles in the Feature Guide which refer to it, and to
each of the tutorials in the Step by Step section which use
the term.
I also suggest (Section 4) implementing a much more powerful Search engine than the D11.5 browser-based help currently features, but that is not really a part of the Table of Contents.
The document that I have posted at...
http://www.openspark.com/adobe/Director_Documentation_01.zip
... is by no means definitive, but it is at a point where I am ready to share it, to check if my general approach is acceptable.
I have not gone into much greater detail in some areas than in others, so past the 4th level, you may find certain areas are still vague. You may have better ideas for the Step by Step tutorial movies than the ones I have included.
Red text indicates new content.
I welcome feedback from all members on the community, both in terms of the content and the structure.
Once we have a comprehensive list of all the topics to cover and a consensus on the structure, then we will have to work out the most cost-effective way of generating the actual content.
Let me know what you think,
James

James, this looks outstanding!
I'm too far behind in versions to offer much here, but one thing I noticed that, I think is an oops:
3.4. Java Dictionary
should be:
3.4. JavaScript Dictionary
Unless they brought back the Java beast, that is.

Hi Arvind Subramaniam ,
>>Can i start my career as XI fresher?
Yes. It is a good Netweaver technology & u can either try as a developer or at Admin side. But there r good oppurtinities as a XI Developer.
>>what are the basic requirements i should have if i go for XI training?
XI is configuration type & maximum stuff wil be mapping . But , sometimes there arises a need to import JAVA code into XI. Hence if u know JAVA/J2EE it's a added advantage.
All the best for u'r success in future!
These r some excellent websites on basics of XI which familarizes u with XI:

Plugin Check keeps flagging Shockwave for Director despite latest version

When I point Firefox 4.0.1 to the Plugin Check page
<http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/>
It flags the following plugin as outdated:
Shockwave for Director
Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5.9
However, I have the latest version of Shockwave installed (11.5.9.620) installed. Reinstalling the plugin does not change how the Mozilla Firefox Plugin Check page sees that plugin.

Thanks Helper7677.
So, paraphrasing your answer, the Adobe Plugin isn't identifying itself fully (.620), hence the Firefox Plugin Check page thinks my copy of the plugin is out-of-date.
I had checked the Adobe sites you noted, so I was sure I had the latest version. I was thinking this might be a bug in the Plugin Check page, but you've now cleared that up.
Using Property List Editor, I examined the Info.plist within the bundle for this plugin. It identifies the plugin fully in several key-value pairs as '''11.5.9r620''', but the WebPluginDescription key it has the value:
'''Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5.9'''
If Firefox is collecting that value, then passing it along to the Plugin Check page, that explains why the Plugin Check page thinks my version is obsolete.
I don't know how Firefox checks for the version information for the plugins it loads, but if it checked the "Bundle versions string, short" key for this plugin it would find the correct version (assuming Adobe always populates that field correctly).

No option to uninstall Shockwave for director plugin

I want to get by without Adobe and have uninstalled all but am left with this shockwave for director plugin that only give options whether to activate or not. But I want it gone. How do I do that?

Thanks. The about:plugins way worked. I couldn't use the control panel as it didn't list the plugin.
Good to know this method as there are some other plugins that got installed that I don't think I need, or use, so I can declutter.

Physics for Director MX 2004 10.1

Here's the situation. I own Director MX 2004 10.1 and I need to do some physics stuff. I developed a nice simulation using Havok that works great in a projector, but it lost one critical functionality in Shockwave that I can't seem to resolve (collisions involving repositioned fixed rigid bodies act as if they were never moved). I know Havok is dead and Ageia PhysX is what I should be using, but I really don't want to upgrade to 11.5 just for Ageia. I was hoping to hold out until D12.
Is it possible to get Ageia for Director 10.1?
Are there any old Havok gurus out there thay know how to move a fixed rigid body and have it repond to collisions in the new location?
Do I have to bite the bullet and buy D11.5?

Maybe Dee McDee is my only salvation!
I have not found anything about Physx and Director.
I use 3D Max with Physx and I know how to export from Max with W3D and import it into Director.
I don’t know what procedure to use to save the physical reactions.
When I save in w3d I have no physical reaction only animations.
Questions:
1) How can I do to import and maintain the physical reactions in Director?
I would, for example, bringing down a wall and then import it into Director.
2) Really Havok doesn’t work in Director 11.5?
I have imported an old movie made with Havok inside Director 11.5 and I make the projector and it works.
Sorry for my bad English.
I don't understand what do you means to "callback" in your previous message.
Thank you very much for your attention.

The shockwave for director v-12.1.4.154 is showing as unknown plug-in.

shockwave for director v-12.1.4.154 is showing as unknown when tyied to see if my plug-ins are up-to-date or not.

It may be possible to reinstall the add on, however I think you have to remove it from the Control Panel.

Future for Visual Composer

A consultant told our department manager that SAP was not going to enhanse Visual Composer; that it would only get bug fixes. I think he may have confused 7.0 with 7.1/7.2. Is there a future for Visual Composer or is it a waste of time.

Hi John,
I found this presentation from TechEd 2010 that says that VC lives on in CE.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/media/uuid/602910e7-40ac-2d10-65bd-8e4f4abb9c79
Thank you for providing input.

Are web/cloud-based dev and apps dist the future for LV?

The direction of software companies such as Microsoft and Adobe is that they are no longer distributing media for standalone PCs. (we all know that if we didn't need to dist the hefty LV RTE life would be a bit easier)
You no longer purchase specific versions of their software instead you subcribe and login to have access to the latest versions from any location.
Examples are Office 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud. Presumably the subscription arrangement for them is more profitable.
Will this (a) be the future for LV development environment; and (b) will this make it possible for developers to adopt similar strategies for distributing their own apps?
Currently is this something that the webservices features of LV can deal with to some degree? I understand this is limited to a small number of concurrent users at a time? I also understand that web-based are not exactly the same as cloud-based applications.
Is this something NI is not moving toward since LV has traditionally been tied to fixed hardware (i.e. data acquisition) applications?
Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing people's opinions..

I can't speak for NI's future plans. But I don't think a move like this would benefit much of the LabVIEW community. I'm sure there are some that would fine a clound or web based distribution system convinient but for me many of the system I install LabVIEW, TestStand, DAQmx, XNET, and many other NI tools are offline perminently. These computers don't get future Windows updates, or NI updates unless I make an effort to put them on the network, or bring over DVDs and external drives with updates on them.
So as for distributing NI applications I don't think this is a good move. They already have a subscription based approach with things like the VLA, Enterprise solutions, and SSP. Having the user go NI.com and download the tools you want has worked, and moving to a cloud application won't really work because NI users are quite diverse. Office 365 works because if you use office, you use the same office. But with LabVIEW there are so many 3rd party tools and libraries that the LabVIEW you use can be very different from the one I use.
As for distributing your own built applications I think this would be neat, but again not right for me.
