How do I learn to make truly interactive graphics (beginner)?

Hello. I would appreciate some guidance to learn how to make truly interactive graphics for the web. I am a beginner, with most of my experience in print design. I am not an experienced high level coder, and the less I have to understand about coding, the better. I am seeking helpful tutorials, books, online courses, etc. that can help me on my way to learning these skills. I have done extensive searching on my own before this post.
What I want to know is how to create interactive graphics that have several hotspots, timelines, etc. without loading seperate pages. I want people to be able to explore the content of my creation that will be just one page on a larger (wordpress) site. I am not sure if HTML5 with Adobe Edge can do this. I am not sure if HTML5 if the answer. Ideally, I want to use one thing that will work for most browsers and be intuitive for me (an avid Adobe product user) to make.
I am willing to learn code if I just know where to go, and if it can be made easier to understand for the complex vision I have.
Any ideas where to start? Thanks in advance.

javascript is not java.
So to answer your question: you read a book and try things out.

Learning to Make Basic Interactive Site

I want to learn to make a basic interactive site with Flash.
My ultimate goal is to design a portfolio website including video
and graphic design samples, but I want to start by learning how to
make a basic interactive site. I know the basics of drawing and
animating in Flash 5, but I don't know how to make Flash
interactive. I don't even know where to start on creating a website
in Flash. All I'm asking for is a starting point. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.

Oh, thanks for the compliment.
But i still feel like a beginner. Flash is a fantastic
program and its possibilities are mind-boggling.
Maybe 2 or 3 years ive been playing around with flash. Not
enough as i would like to however. I havent "trained" or anything
though. I did buy a couple of books but, to be honest they were a
waste of money. Everything you need is to be found on the web.
My template? Well, i just made a sample site and decided to
turn it into a template. Changing the text to xml text and trying
to make life easy for anyone who wanted to buy it. Im just testing
the water and these are early days.
Funnily enough I remember a couple of years back seeing one
of the templates on templatemonster and thinking "Wow! i wanna do
that!". But i quickly realised what a task that was and just
plodded along making sites.
I couldnt even begin to explain how to make the site though,
it would be like writing a book. Believe me id love to able to tell
you exactly how to acomplish your task.
Like ive said earlier, maybe your best bet is to get hold of
a free flash template, just a simple one, and open it up and have a
poke around.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Open the library CTRL L and look for folder call
"PageElements"
You will find there movie clips call page1 page2 page3 page4
etc...
Every page is a movie clips so whatever you import from PS
will
need to be converted to movie clip. Name it page"number"
according
to your order and do not forget to give it LINKAGE name.
To linkage clip you need to right click it while in library,
go to
LINKAGE than check the box EXPORT FOR ACTION SCRIPT and type
the
page name same as the library name (example) "page88"
Now, on timeline you have layer call ACTIONS and on 5th frame
of that
layer is the place where you add pages using action script
once all
the library stuff is in order. You will find there :
addPage("start");
addPage("page1");
addPage("page2");
addPage("page3");
addPage("page4");
addPage("page5");
Just add as much as you need.... Pretty much it

Can someone suggest how to make an interactive poster?

Hello everyone,
Could someone suggest how to make interactive images using photoshop. A professor of mine created a poster that had interactive graphics that made movements when rolled over as well as graphics. If someone could suggest a tutorial it would be appreciated. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
Sincerely,
Jimi Ryscovyan

Images are not interactive on their own. There has to be more then an image file created with Photoshop. I'm sure the poster image you referring to was being displayed on some electronic device of some kind which was use by some image display application like a browser, that there was some programming involved for example interactive dynamic html, mouse overs , on click perhaps some javascript or even flash. And of course an input device like a mouse for a user to use. More then Photoshop is involved.

BEST Tutorial guides to follow when learning to make Flash Templates

I'm trying so hard to try and find either videos or books or
anything on learning to make Flash Website templates, but I'm
having trouble coming up with REALLY GOOD walk throughs as to
learning to use and create interactive flash website templates.
Does anyone here know of the best resources to go to or what
I could buy that would REALLY help my knowledge on the flash
program. Who here didn't know anything about Flash, and then what
did you learn to help you learn the program.
Again, I want to create flash website templates, but I don't
know what guides or tutorials to follow when learning, so could
someone please please direct me to the best place, thanks.

Is it possible to make an interactive symbol?

I'm trying to make a relay for use in multisim, and I don't quite understand how the symbol editor works, but is it possible to make an interactive symbol, like a switch that opens/closes ?
I think I should be able to use spice data from a relay(modified) to get mine to work?

Thats precisely what I did, and made a symbol for it but it isn't working quite right so maybe the spice data is wrong.
I originally made a circuit using 2xSPDT NO and 2xSPDT NC relays to make a DPDT. I used that spice data and had someone help me cut it down into a single model.
This is what I ended up with.

How do I learn?

Good morning all,
I am relatively new to creating interactive forms in Adobe. While I have been able to learn basic stuff on my own and with help from these forums, I want to learn how to create the JavaScript programming it takes for complicated forms. All of the books I see relate JavaScript to web pages. It appears to me that the JavaScript used in web pages is different than what Adobe uses. Is this correct? I cannot find any resources that relate learning JavaScript to Adobe interactive forms. I tried to enroll in a "certified" class offered by a vendor, but the class was repeatedly cancelled and never came to fruition.
So the question is: How do I learn this stuff?
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!!
thanks

Hi,
My tuppence (two cents) worth...
Outside of the general recommendation, I would strongly recommend JP Terry's book on LC Designer which is excellent - "Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer". This starts at the beginning and clearly sets out key learning points. By the end there are some good examples, which you can copy across.
Where is some reference material for this?
We have some solutions and blog posts on our website http://www.assuredynamics.com.
There is also a range of online resources. You may find these resources helpful:
http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_scriptingBasics
http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_scriptingReference
http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_formCalc
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/Adobe_XML_Form_Object_M odel_Refer ence.pdf
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/lc_migrating_acrobat_xmlform. pdf
And a very handy resource (and while it is for version 6 it is still very good because of the way it is laid out):http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/CalcScripts.pdf
The help file also helps with syntax and LC Designer comes with templates/examples.
Lastly, check out the Developer's Network on http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/
Also a book that doesn't deal with scripting at all but is very good on form layout is "Forms that Work" by Caroline Jarrett and Gerry Gaffney.
The Adobe "PDF Forms Bible" is okay, but mainly focuses on AcroForms.
Windjack Solutions have a subscription based service for solutions and scripts at http://www.pdfscripting.com. It has a lot of AcroForm script that can be amended to suit LC Designer and a growing library of LC Designer solutions.
Good luck,
Niall

How to start learning German?

I love Arch. Absolutely love it. But with the announcement of April 1 regarding the transition to German, I was wondering if there are any books available that will help me learn this fine lanaguage and continue using this excellent distro?
Hopefully, I would like a German version of the edutainment game "Reader Rabbit" to begin the basics; preferably open-source, but if I must I'll get wine working if I really have to!
Thanks, Archers!
Gute Nacht!

If you are actually serious about learning German: First of all make sure, that you have an ongoing motivation to learn the language. If that's missing, you'll probably give up frustrated after some weeks, because learning a language can be frustrating.
Then get yourself a dictionary and a course book with many demonstrative explanations for the grammar. Start by learning the basics: nouns, articles, verbs and the basic sentence structure S-V-O (subject-verb-object). Try to find a German-speaking friend and try to practise your knowledge, even if you can only say simple things like "Ich spreche Deutsch.", "Der Mond ist rund." or a little more complicated: "Heute ist der erste April."
Also start to read as much as you can. Learning vocabularly is no fun, but it's easier if you remember vocabulary from the context, because you see that a word is important and not only word of many in a vocabulary list.
Now expand your knowledge slowly by learning more, reading more and practicing your new knowledge as often as possible and try not to get frustrated once you encounter the more challenging parts of the German language.
Also consider a stay in a German-speaking country once you have basic knowledge. You'll be amazed how fast you learn when you're in contact with native speakers - just don't get frustrated.
Good luck!
Funny thing is that I started looking for resources to learn German this morning.
I studied it at school for 5 years (over 30 years ago) and although I can read German pretty well, albeit with a limited vocabulary, I have never spoken it since.
My daughter is moving to Bonn in May and I plan to visit her in September / October so I want to have some proficiency by then.
At the moment I am sure my grammar would be like the Englishman in Allo Allo.

How can I learn where a missing class resides?

I'm going thru a tutorial that autogenerates a few small Java source files in a small project. They SHOULD compile without error, but don't, apparently because various classes are referenced and are not present on my PC.
How can I learn where they are? How can I get the needed classes, and can I trust the files I find, assuming I find them out on the web somewhere.
The message of the moment (produced by NetBeans 4.1) is:
"class com.sun.xml.rpc.tools.ant.Wscompile cannot be found"
I plugged that classname into Google, and found someone wonder in a forum where this class is, then reply to his own question saying he found it in jaxrpc-impl.jar
Maybe that's right. Now I have to find this Jar file.
Hopefully there's a better way to find this stuff!
Any advice appreciated.

That's how you do it.
In this case, I believe that the jar is part of the JAX_RPC functionality (recently renamed to JAX_WS), and a copy is included with Sun's Application Server - and also other downloadable packages, but I don't know exactly which others.
The class is part of the umbrella J2EE system.

How can I hide or make visible the fields at the order and at the delivery?

How can I hide or make visible the fields at the order and at the delivery?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For sales order, use user exit :
MV45AFZZ and FORM userexit_field_modification.
For deliveries, use BADI :
LE_SHP_DELIVERY_PROC (see with Tcode SE18) and method CHANGE_FIELD_ATTRIBUTES.
Create implementation in ref to this badi with Tcode SE19.
