Help with flash server date

hello, i have a pack with 4 swfs() and i want to change them automaticly when new season is coming using server date, can someone help me with script or documentation?

This doesn't sound like a Flash issue, unless you have some other Flash file that loads these files in them. You probably just want to see about creating a php page that writes the embedding code for the Flash file it will show based on the date the PHP sees on the server.

Hi there
I'm not sure how you wound up where you did. But you wound up in the Adobe Captivate forums. Please stand by as I move your thread to the Flash forums.

Help with flash video buffering

I need help with flash video buffering. I've created a
buffering graphic to show up when the clip is loading. The problem
that I'm having is that when the video finishs playing, the buffer
is empty and the graphic pops back on. The following is the code
that I'm using to call and buffer the video. Any help would be
great!
stop();
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.setBufferTime(10);
ns.onStatus = function(info){
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Full"){
bufferClip._visible = false;
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty"){
bufferClip._visible = true;
if (info.code == "NetStream.Stop") {
bufferClip._visible = false;
theVideo.attachVideo (ns);
ns.play("my_clip.flv");
rewindButton.onRelease= function(){
ns.seek(0);
playButton.onRelease= function(){
ns.pause();
}

Again thank you for your help in advance...

file it is showing up as being "put" to my web server. when i
checked the root folder it is there. again i am having the same

just shows that there should be a flash video there but it does not
show up.

Sorry to dig this out, but i just ran exactly into the same problem using a 7600GT. Reverting the appropriate libraries to 9.2.4 lead to a segfault in Compiz, deleting the libvdpau_nouveau files, however worked perfectly - thanks cro for the hint. But I guess, this is not a permanent solution, is there a better way to fix it? Maybe a bug report mentioning the problem would be of some use?

I need help with Mavricks Server, I get the following: an error occurred while configuring your server. I have deleted the Server.app several times along with the associated com.apple and Server folder. Any more help would be appreciated.

There are usually some log files around, related to the installation. See if Console.app (Applications > Utilities) shows anything relevant to the error, when you've done a fresh install of Server.app and tried the configuration.

Hi,
What excactly is the usecase you are trying here? Are using your external Apache to proxy your http traffic from FMS to it or do you want to use http streaming feature of FMS?
If you want to proxy it then use the following document : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_AdminGuide/WSE2A5A7B9-E118-496f-92F9-E295 038DB7DB.html

That helped. I get the correct images in the output, but not in the display. I also get the following error. Any chance you could help with that?

Help with Flash code in web page

I have a Flash file in the masthead of my web site that shows
a slideshow. I want to code the page so that if the viewer doesn't
have Flashplayer, an alternative jpeg comes up in the masthead
instead of the file with the flash slideshow. I'm afraid I'm new to
most of this.... I'd very much appreciate help with the
programming.
Thank you!
Here's the file:
http://www.ewgaphilly.com/cs3index.html
(the slide show isn't working at the moment -- a server issue). The
alternate file I want to put in is:

could tell me specifically which is the embed code (the codes in

Need help with flash templates in Mac...

Hello, I did some searches in the forum but found nothing.
I have a problem. I have a Mac and and using Dreamweaver CS5.5.
Recently I download some templates with flash from Hostgator.
The message I get is: "This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them a insert again"
Could you help me please?
Thanks,

Hello,
The support from HostGator.com told me this:
After reading about Adobe Dreamweaver and using the library SWF objects. This seems to be a fairly particular error with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4.
I have read three articles:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2958378?tstart=0
http://www.dreamweaverclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33323
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=579625
They all concur this error is completely ignorable in some way. If you include the object, and just ignore the message, your content will still upload to your site. This has to do with how adobe has changed the embedding of objects since previous versions.
However, what I can concur from all of this is that you need to simply just re-add the file to your site/library, or just ignore the error message and the embed code should work just fine.
I test a hostgator template with flash on their server, and works fine.
I want to know your opinion. T hanks for your help...

Help with a server program

Hello,
I don't know much about threading, but I've got this server program (code follows). And where it does this... :
                    // Create a new thread for the connection
                    HandleAClient thread = new HandleAClient(connectToClient);
                    cn = clientNo;
                    // Start the new thread
                    thread.start();I need it to create another instance of the client program that accessing it with the same thread(I think, as i said I don't know much about threads). That way when a remote user accesses the client program, the server will automatically open another client program on the machine the server is running on. Then while their both using the same thread, they'll be able to speak back and forth without anyone else getting their text.
Does this make sense? Can anyone help?
Here is the server code, I don't have it perfected yet to send the text, but the clients will regester with the server.

Help with Client/Server communication

Im working on a project for university, and one aspect of it is downloading files from a remote computer.
The majority of my project so far has been using RMI only, for browsing the remote computer, deleting files, renaming files, creating new directories and searching for files. All of this is done via a GUI client, with a server running on the server machine.
Ive now reached the part where I'll need to implement the downloading of files. I want the user to select a file from within the GUI and click download, and get it off the server.
I dont need any help with event handlers or getting the contents of the remote computer or anything of that sort.
Consider when I have the name of the file that I want to download from the client.
Im having trouble understanding how exactly its going to work. Ive seen examples of file transfer programs where the user types in the name of the file in the command line which they want to download. But my implementation will differ.
Every time the user clicks the button, I have to send to the server the name of a different file which will need to be downloaded.
I imagine in the event handler for the Download button I'll be creating a new socket and Streams for the download of the file that the user wants. But how am I to send to the client a dynamic file name each time when the user tries to download a different file?
I am a bit new at this, and Ive been searching on the forums for examples and Ive run through them, but I think my situation is a bit different.
Also, will RMI play any part in this? Or will it purely be just Socket and Streams?
I'll also develop an Upload button, but I imagine once I get the Download one going, the Upload one should be much harder.
Any ideas and help would be appreciated.

Hi
I'm no RMI expert... and I did not understand your question very well....
I think you should do this procedure:
you should send a request for the file from the client to the server . then a new connection between the two machines should be made which will be used to send the file.
by using UDP you will achive it quite nicely...
//socket - is your TCP socket you already use on the client...
//out - socket's output stream
byte [] b=new String("File HelloWorld.java").getBytes();
// you should use a different way for using this rather than using strings...
out.write(b);
DatagramSocket DS=new DatagramSocket(port);
DS.recieve(packet); //the data is written into the packet...on the server side you should...
//socket - is your TCP socket you already use on the server...
//in - socket's input stream
byte [] b=new byte[256];
out.read(b);
/*Here you check what file you need to send to the client*/
DatagramSocket DS=new DatagramSocket(server_port);
byte [] data=//you should read the file and translate it into bytes and build a packet with them
DS.send(packet); //the data is in the packet...This way the server sends the required file to the client .....
I hope it will help, otherwise try being clearier so I could help you...

Help with OSX server mail setup

Please if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be very grateful. I have a company with an externaly hosted website and an an internally hosted email (OSX server). I have everything kind of working, but some things don't seem quite right. I'll explain below:
I have a purchased domain: mycompany.com hosted by godaddy.
I am using Godaddy name servers: ns65.domaincontrol.com and ns66.domaincontrol.com
The external godaddy DNS has an a name entry for my mail server: mail pointing to 123.123.123.123 (which is my companies external static IP address).
There is also a null (@) a name record for my website hosting service (squarespace) pointing to 456.456.456.456
There is a cName record www pointing to the squarespace domain "www.squarespace6.com" (know this is unusual, but it is how squarespace asks this to be set up and does not work otherwise)
There is an MX record with priority 10 and host name @ pointing to mail.mycompany.com
I have a airport extreme router with the appropriate ports forwarded to the OSX server.
The DNS servers on the router are pointed to the internal IP address of the OSX server
I did not change the domain name on the router (mistake?) it is currently san.rr.com
On the OSX server I have set up host name to be mycompany.comDNS is set up with primary zone being mycompany.com
Primary Zone entries include
nameserver = mycompany.com
machine record host name is mycompany.com and the IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server
another machine record with host name "mail" and IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server.
Finally, there is a mail exchanger record with mail server "mail.mycompany.com" and priority 10
There are 2 entries autocreated in the Reverse zone
Mail is setup and running on the OSX server providing mail for "mail.mycompany.com"
Users are setup with email address: [email protected] (note: without the mail subdomain - I think this is OK?)
I am using self signed certificate.
In my clients (windows Thunderbird, Mac Mail, iOS mail), the settings are for the incoming mail server host name to be "mail.mycompany.com" and the outgoing also to be "mail.mycompany.com"
I woud have expected this to be imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com respectively, but it doesn't work when I input these values and works with the former. Have I set this up wrong?? imap seems to require SSL on port 993 and SMTP seems to require TLS on port 587.Outlook on PC gives me an error that after googling appears to be a problem with not recognizing a fuly qualified hostname form the SMTP client. I see the fix, but wanted to know if that meant that my server didn't have a fully qualified host name and whether I should change that rather than just remove that restriction???
The final problem is that my outgoing emails seem to be getting caught up in other people's spam filters too frequently. What is the main reason for this? Is it because I have set something up wrong and it brings up flags or is it simply because I am not a huge hosting company, or somethign else althogether?
If you've gotten this far, big thanks! If you can help me, even more thanks!

Well, actually they are both getting caught up in spam filters and bounced back. I actually realized that part of the problem is that I have a dynamic IP address, but it doesn't change. Regardless, on the bounce back it looks like hotmail and other domains are rejecting email from my IP and recognize it as dynamic. This was a test server that i would by physically taking to my business where there is a static business IP address (Cox).
Sorry for the very long original message, but it seems that most people don't post enough information for the problem to be solved in their original posts and I was hoping to provide as much detail as possible.
The other is the question of "are things set up right?" It seems strange to me that both my outgoing and incoming servers are "mail.mycompany.com" and not imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com and I wonder if this is going to cause me to have problems?
Is it a problem that my email addresses are [email protected] and not [email protected]?
Was I supposed to change the domain name on the router?
Also is it going to be a problem that I am using a self signed certificate?

Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

Hello,
I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive.
This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content) and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability
