Help me figure out where to start learning flex/flash/air/etc.
Hi all,
I'm hoping a few generous souls can help figure out where to start learning to use Adobe programming / application tools. I've read through a lot of the info on Flash, Flash Builder, Flash Catalyst, Flex, Flex Builder, Actionscript and Air – and frankly my head is spinning.
Let me give you some context of what I know, and where I'm trying to get to.
What I know
CS4 - Dreamweaver / Photoshop / Illustrator / Fireworks
Raw html, and some css
Various macro languages over the years (excel - macro level meta-procedural stuff)
Basic database experience (mysql, database design)
Training in procedural languages like Pascal about 100 years ago (ok maybe 20)
Where I want to go
Develop online trivia application
Multiple, simultaneous users
Polished interface (look and feel wise) - 'flashy' if you will
Database connections on back end to serve questions and manage users
At a very basic level it would be similar to those trivia systems you see in bars, like this: http://www.buzztime.com/games.html , but with an educational focus / spin to it.
When I want to get there
I realize this isn't going to happen overnight. I'm hoping if I spend 20 hours a week or so I can put something basic together by the end of the summer. This is as much about learning the tools for me as building the app.
How I need help
I plan to get a Lynda.com subscription to help me learn the tools. The basic problem is I don't know which tools to learn, in what progression, to accomplish my goals. If I'm never going to use Actionscript or Air I'd rather not learn them. So what I need is 2 pieces of advice
For the app I described, what tool(s) would you build it in?
What is a good learning path for those tools?
Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer, I really appreciate your help!
Larry
For creating a web application using Flash, there are broadly two workflows (with different tools to use):
If you are a designer, you may want to start learning Adobe Flash Professional for a more design oriented feel application development:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/
You can start learning how to use the tool from here. You would also want to keep checking our developer network for new articles on Flash.
If you are a developer you would generally find Flex more natural because it allows you to code your application. For this you can use the Adobe opensource Software development kit or Adobe Flash Builder The Flash Builder IDE comes with support for intelligent coding, debugging, and visual design and features powerful testing tools that speed up development and lead to higher performing applications.
For starting with Flex and Flash Builder, you can check out the 'Flex in a week' videos:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining/
As you go along the videos you can also check Flex language reference:
Alternatively, you can also use Adobe Flash Catalyst (still in Beta) to design your application. Catalyst will generate Flex code for you. This code can then be imported in Adobe Flash Builder where you can use Flash Builder Data centric features to connect to a database backend.

Nothing has helped me figure out how to re-install Adobe Flash Player
I have researched everything I could find and nothing helps. I uninstalled Flash Player because I was getting frequent 'shockwave has crashed' problems when I played some games. Now, I can't reinstall it. Tried many times; turned off my firewall; etc. Flash is not showing in my control panel as an existing program (because I uninstalled it), but I get the message "only one instance of this ap can run" when I try to complete installation and run it. I have Windows 7 and use Firefox. None of the related articles has helped me. When I click on "check if Flash is installed" it tells me not installed or not enabled. When I try to enable it, Flash or Shockwave is not even listed under Tools > Add-ons in Firefox. I have no idea what is left to try.
By the way, it appears that I can watch videos. But I can't access my Pogo games any more. Says Flash is out of date. I'm very confused.FINALLY! This worked. Thank you. Why on earth do you need a special (and secret) Adobe uninstall site? Crazy. Nothing told me that Flash was still installed in some secret computer place causing problems. (I uninstalled using the Control Panel.) People like me who are barely versed in computer inner workings are at a huge and uncomfortable disadvantage.
Thanks! -

To listen to music with a headset or earbuds via bluetooth requires a bluetooth stereo headset.
File transfer via bluetooth is not supported. A friend or relative can purchase music for you via the iTunes music store with an iTunes store gift card or by sending you the music gift via email from iTunes. -

In my Java Prefs App I unchecked
J2SE 5.0
J2SE 1.4.2 was already unchecked.
Did I get this right?
Wasnt sure if I was was disabling Java or Java Script here....
That is Java. Those are also really old versions. You can actually keep them turned on in Java Preferences.
What you want to change is in Safari > Preferences > Security and turn off Java there. Leave Javascript turned on.
This way, the only thing you disable is Java applets, which are useless anyway. If you need to run any Java programs, they will still work. If you have any specific site that requires a Java applet, you can always turn it on just for that site and turn it back off when you are done. -

at DistributionPlagiarist.randomphrase(DistributionPlagiarist.java:146)
at DistributionPlagiarist.main(DistributionPlagiarist.java:112)I will attempt to explain what this does in as few words as possible. For a breakdown of the lab go urlhttp://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~paolo/teaching/494MJ/labs/lab8.shtml{url}. If you don't feel like reading that: THe program reads in some command line arguments. From there it reads from the file provided in the command line and creates "keys" from the specified length. From there I need to create a phrase of the specified length. If i am supposed to create more then one then i do. That is pretty much it. I can't figure out where (really why) the NullPointerException error is coming from.
Help is appreciated!!Post the actual error text (copy and paste, don't "interpret" it) here.
It should include a stack trace which references a line number of the program -
unless you suppressed the trace, in which case change your error handling
so that the trace is produced.
Identify which program line in your post the error is pointing to so that we can match
the error with your program, since your post doesn't have line numbers..

if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$values = array ('name','email','message');
$required = array('name','email','message');

?>Thanks. I'm working with different hosts and I guess thats where the confusion for me is coming in. In bluehost, I simply submit my form through form action to http://www.bluehost/bluemail. With the php form construction it 's form action is contact.php. Does this mean that the server I'm working with will uinderstand how to process contact.php and where to send it based on paramaters previously submitted? Or do I instruct the server via the php form? Thanks again

The reason why this is done in php is because php is server-side scripting. It's telling your server to do stuff. HTML doesn't tell your server anything, it tells the client (the web browser loading it) to do things. Only your server can send an email.

Click your Apple menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space. Less can slow your Mac down.
Check the startup disk lately?
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk. -
I've tried to keep my computer as organized and clean as possible. I only have 400 songs and not a ton of pictures. I can't figure out where else I need to look on my hard drive. Any suggestions?
I can't really figure out how much I have left in memory but here is some basic info:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,5
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Is there somewhere to look to see a breakdown of what memory is used where?
Thanks for your help! -
Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders? I thought upgrading to Mountain Lion would work, but I'm having the same problem as before under Snow Leopard. So, here's my situation.
I'm running 10.8.2 on a Macbook Pro. I have a 3GS iPhone running 6.0.1. I can make entries on my Mac Calendar and they will show up on my iPhone, but if I make an entry on my iPhone, it never makes it to my Mac. Also, I notice that when I log in to my iCloud account on my Mac, it has a "me.com" email address as my apple i.d., but it is not my primary account i.d. and I can't figure out how to delete it. Also, my Reminders application won't allow me to delete lists I created. Contacts, on the other hand, work instantaneously regardless of where the change is initiated.On you iPhone check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the calendars section). Here be sure you have selected the Calendar listed under your iCloud account ID as your default. If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
You should be able to delete you reminders list by, from the Lists view, tapping Edit at the top, then tapping next to the list you want to delete and tapping Delete. -
ONe of our Macs has just randomly started playing music and we can't figure out where it is. iTunes is off, all browsers are off. Anyone know how to search for the source??
Have you got iChat. There have been examples where this was the cause. If you have, turn it off to check. You could also go to activity monitor to check what parts of you system are active.

Can anyone help me figure out how to copy .jpg (pictures) from my PC to my IPAD2?
Can anyone help me figure out how to copy .jpg (pictures) from my PC to my IPAD2?
Create a folder on you PC and copy the pictures you want on the iPad into that folder. Then start iTunes and plug in your iPad. In the column on the left (about half way down) click on the name of your iPad. Then click on the photos tab near the top and to the right of the screen. Check the box that says Sync photos and then select the folder you put your pictures in from the drop down menu on the screen. Then click Apply down at the bottom right hand side of the screen. Hope that helps!

Help me figure out this script
Hey Guys,
This is the first time EVER posting a blog, so bear with me
if i'm a bit slow. My problem is that i'm just getting into Flash,
just got Flash CS3, and I downloaded a pre-made menu from
istockphoto.com. The thing is I can't figure out how to get the
buttons to link to another scene in Flash. Can anyone help out? and
if i'm not posting enough info let me know what I need to do.
Thanks for your time.
Alx.
Here's the action script, where do I change the script to
play the next scene of my movie?
on (release) {
getURL("#");
on (rollOver)
if (_root.link != 5)
gotoAndPlay(2);
} // end if
on (releaseOutside, rollOut)
if (_root.link != 5)
gotoAndPlay(21);
} // end if
on (release)
if (_root.link != 5)
_parent["but" + _root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = 5;
} // end if
}on (release) {
getURL("#");
//if you click the button this script is attached to, it will
take you to "#" in your browser.
on (rollOver)
if (_root.link != 5)
gotoAndPlay(2);
} // end if
//The above script says that if the _root variable "link"
does not = 5, to gotoAndPlay(2) of the current movieclip.
on (releaseOutside, rollOut)
if (_root.link != 5)
gotoAndPlay(21);
} // end if
same thing as above, but for releaseOutside, or rollOut, and
it will play 21.
on (release)
if (_root.link != 5)
_parent["but" + _root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = 5;
} // end if
on click, this button will will go to _parent.butx (where x
is _root.link) .gotoAndPlay(frame "s2") -- if _root.link does not =
5. make sense? It then sets the _root variable "link" to 5.
so you have two on(release) button functions, which isn't
right. Also, I've never used two on statements in the same shot ---
on(releaseOutside, rollOut) does that work properly?
so if you want to gotoAndPlay a certain scene, you can just
change a bit of the script. -- think you can figure out where with
my explanations? Or did I just make it more confusing. -
Can't figure out where "up arrow" command on Mac for keyboard shortcuts.
You guys helped me fix the presets in LR, but now I have to go and do each image by hand. When I go to "photo" in the library module, then to "develop settings," and then to "reset," it shows a keyboard shortcut of an up arrow, the apple command and R. I have never figured out where that stupid arrow is on my MAC keyboard. I would appreciate your help with this one also. I have several thousand photos to get thru. Many thanks for your willingness to share your expertise!!!!
DodieThank you so much for your time and patience! I am a middle aged woman who doesn't love computers. You have saved me a LOT of time.
