How difficult would it be to create something like this? 

I'm looking to create a flash widget similar to what WoW has
on their main page -
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/index.xml
It needs to have images & text that could be called from
a php or text file, so that it can be dynamically changed. Movies
will also be integrated in the rotation as well for the Flash.
How difficult would this be for someone who's new to flash?
How long would it take and what all is needed to learn how to
re-create something like this?

The difficulty and time to do it depends on the learning
capability of the new programmer. Patience and a drive to learn is
what all is needed. Accomplishing one step at a time is probably
the best approach, whether you're new or well-versed.

  • How easy would it be to do something like this in FB4

    I was looking at a cool aniumation
    http://www.hbosdeal.com/Demos/bos-treasury-options-demo.swf
    Would it be easier to do the animations in flash and use Flex4 (importing the flash stuff using the flash component in flex 4) for the interface stuff like the buttons and the tracker?

    WIth a few things like pixelbender, as3dmod, away3dlite anything is possible.
    If the charts were with static data then flash would be easier, with dynamic data i found even flex 3 was easier than flash for chart animation.
    Things that take a lot of effort(programmatically) in flash are just easier in flex. As an example , the following link is something I was experimenting with a few months before flashbuilder beta was out(using a february build of flex4 sdk), and in just a few dozen lines of code I got page flipping working reasonably well.

  • How difficult would it be to create a bittorrent server/client?

    I was thinking about creating a program that would use bittorrent to upload/download. I was wondering has someone created a package to make this easy? How difficult would it be to create something like this?

  • It is possible to create something like this in AE?

    Hi, i want to know if its possible to create something like this in AE (not in 3D) but particles that 'builds up' the text in some way? i have a text that is a vector, and the same as PNG, it is possible? Please tell me!

  • Anyone know how to create something like this?

    I've been asked to make something like
    this
    except for newsletters instead of business cards. If anyone
    has seen any tutorials covering anything like this I would love to
    hear about them, or if you have some ideas of how to start.
    I tried using image swap for the background and writing over
    it using layers but realized I wouldn't know which background they
    chose and the text on the layer won't move to accomidate each
    template. Is this something that needs to be done in Flash? Any
    advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    Chris

  • Anybody help to create something like this?

    HI, I was wondering if any of you Flash Gurus can help me with this.
    I found this lovely website @  http://www.studio28couture.com/v2/designyourowndress_COTTON.html
    and I was wondering how to achieve something like it, not the flash movie clip or any graphic but more like the script behind to
    handle the dress making selection.
    Anyone ideas? or Something similar?
    Thanks!

  • OSB db-adapter: how to pass a proxy user or something like this?

    Hello, on OSB with a Oracle db-adapter, I'd like to do some database updates. Usually the db-adapter is set up with a technical database user.
    But on database side, this way I don't know exactly which user has been updating my table because only the technical user will be inserted into "Created_by" Column
    (select USER from dual ==> technical user).
    Now I thougt about using Proxy Users. But there exists some other Problems:
    - every proxy user has to be initially created in the database
    - how can I pass proxy user and technical user from OSB to the database?
    (using JCA, JNDI and JDBC Data Sources)
    ... on JDBC datasources I can only specify hard coded userid/password (--> technical user)
    Any help would be appreciated. Maybe some good white papers or tutorial exists in the web, but I can't finde a good one.
    Thanks
    Best regards

    You can pass in the adapter header property "jca.db.ProxyUserName". That way you can specify a user for each invoke.
    I got confirmation that OSB supports setting these properties. The sample adapters-db-201-MovieImages on soasamples.samplecode.oracle.com > Adapters shows working with header properties but with Mediator.
    Thanks

  • Is it even possible to create something like this using imovie?

    So recently I started messing around with imovie creating a handful of projects just to kill time. Then one day I came across this video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBZfg8TkBwM .
    Somehow I don't think imovie can let me make a video like that. I'm interested in what kind of software that user used in creating that video. Any ideas?

    @ Karsten Schlüter
    What program should I be using to make those effect in my videos?
    I recently came across another footage :
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FORAalwdi8o
    Fast-forward to 3:35 and you will know what I mean. I want to add those interactive elements (number counter, moving clock etc) but don't know where to start or what to use!

  • What would something like this be called?

    Hello all and good evening,
    If you go to www.realtree.com, they have an "Articles and How-To" spot where when you click one of those buttons, such as "Most Popular", it switches to a different information box while not showing the previous. How would I go about creating something like that and what exactly is something like that called? Is there any good templates that I could download for that?
    Thanks in advance!

  • How Can I Create Something In This Style?

    HI guys, I am currently working on graphics for a mobile game I am making. I have some skill in vector, mostly through Inkscape, but I am trying to use Illustrator more. The thing is despite what program I use I can't figure out how to create something in the style I desire. I would like it to look something like this...
    I can create the vector objects, like the saws,door, and chest pretty well, It is just the background and foreground in which I am lost. I notice they have a texture to them, with various colors, and almost a hand drawn look. Can this be accomplished in Illustrator, or will I need to use Photoshop? If so, how can I go about getting something similar to this. Are there any tutorials for work in this style, because I haven't been able to find any? Any information would be great. Even if their are any vector tutorials in this cartoon style, that would be nice too,since I can always improve. Thanks in advance!

    There are many ways you can achieve this effect you just need to learn.
    Here are some useful links for you to teach yourself some trick and effects:
    Tutorials - Adobe Illustrator - Digital Arts (lots of useful tutorials for adding textures & effects!)
    How to Create a Cartoon House in Illustrator - Illustrator Tutorials - Vectorboom
    Hope these help you achieve what you want.

  • Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

    Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
    Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

    The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

  • How difficult would it be to implement an iMessage whitelist..?

    iMessage spam is a really big problem to me and my family members.  And getting worse by the week.
    Blocking individual senders is ludicrously ineffective and Apple seems to be reluctant to allow us to block entire domains (which would really help).
    So how difficult would it be to implement a whitelist?  (For example... I don't want any iMessages from anybody not in my Contacts list!)
    I'm really close to disabling iMessage altogether.  It is barely worth the effort now.

    The difficulty and time to do it depends on the learning
    capability of the new programmer. Patience and a drive to learn is
    what all is needed. Accomplishing one step at a time is probably
    the best approach, whether you're new or well-versed.

    Not sure exactly what the effect you are looking at, but my first glance is just an overly of 3 or more pictures.  The portrait in the back is just like 50% transparency.
