How do you manage different target platforms from one FLA?

I am in the throes of trying to publish an app for both iOS and Android mobile devices and am having trouble finding some guides related to how to most easily target these two platforms without duplicating code or FLA files.
So far, I have one single code base that checks CONFIG::DEVICE constant to know what platform dependant classes it should or shouldn't use, but as for the FLA, I have two copies of this same FLA with different publishing settings (one set for iOS and one set for Android, and each with the appropriate difference set in the config constant). Needless to say, managing two FLAs with nearly identical content is a pain in the butt.
How am I supposed to do it (using Flash Professional CS6)? I was considering using "Profiles" (upper left corner of Publish Settings panel) but in the past whenever I've relied on Profiles it has been unrealiable. For example, the SWF file name doesn't change, making it a pain to try and make a seperate SWF for iOS and one for Android. If I just change the target platform in the pulldown mennu for that, will it remember the old settings when I come back to a previous selection? (ie: AIR 3.6 for ios, vs AIR 3.6 for Android, etc)
Suggestions? I couldn't find anything by Googling.

Sure but why doesn't Adobe, who has been pitching Flash & Adobe AIR as "author once, publish to multiple targets" fix this very simple problem?
I experimented some more and I managed to set up one FLA with two profiles. One is configured for iOS and the other is configured for Android. It WORKS fine except the iOS settings loses all the icons except for the 3 it has in common with the Android side. Conversely, the Android side loses extra Manifest parameters I need for Admob extension integration. It's quite frustrating that this works up to 95% and then loses it. All they really need to do is tie separate app.xml files to seperate publishing profiles.
One way around this would be if I set each profile to publish to a different swf file. AH, but guess what, that is the ONE setting that a profile does NOT save!!!!!!
Thanks for your tip though.

HT1657 how do you move a movie rental from one computer to another computer

I rented a movie from iTunes and downloaded it to my Macbook Air.
I now want to watch it on my iMac, but it tells me its authorized to play on another computer.
FAQ says I need to move it from one computer to another.
How do I do this?

You may be able to move it by syncing it to an iPod or iOS device capable of playing it and then using the Transfer Purchases function; it won't play on the destination computer if moved in the normal way.
If it can't be moved that way, no.
If the MacBook Air isn't usable, ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

How do you transfer a single playlist from one mac to a new macbook?

I've just bought a new Mac Pro and would like to transfer a single playlist of mine from an iMac iTunes library to my own iTunes library without any of the other music in the library that is not on my playlist... any help?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload. Sign in and authorize the computer to your account before syncing.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

How do you select/move multiple clips from one timeline to another?

Has to do with combining multiple edls from Avid - required due to an issue with duplicate reel names in the original Arri footage. I can move them one at a time, but it is very tedious. Is there a way to select multiple clips and move them together?

Actually discovered the magic of the shift key.
IRCP Beauty doesn't recognize multiple timelines in a session, so first you have to at least get the footage on multiple tracks in the same timeline. Shift + drag on the track will allow you to move it to another timeline. Also Shift + drag on the center of the first clip in a sequence will slide the entire sequence down - which is how timelines end up getthing offset all the time. Also, if there are multiple tracks in a timeline and some are locked and some aren't, Shift + drag on a clip will slide ALL UNLOCKED tracks in the timeline.
Finally, Shift + click on either in or out marker moves both points up or down the timeline.

How do you move an access app from one sharepoint subsite to another?

Hi there!
I have created an access app for my 'Account management' subsite. This database stores lots of important information, however I'd like to move this to a new subsite which I've created called 'Campaigns'. How do I do this? I literally want to take a copy
of it with all it's contents and move it to a new subsite.
Thanks!
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
You can go with backup & Restore option.
In Powershell:
use this below commands,
Backup-SPSite <site URL> -Path "Path Location" -Force
<site URL> --> http://server_name/sites/Account management (which site you want to take backup)
"Path Location" --> C:\Backup\site_name.bak(where you want to store the backup)
Restore-SPSite <site URL> -Path "Path Location" -Force
<site URL> --> http://server_name/sites/Campaigns (where you want to move the site)
"Path Location" --> C:\Backup\site_name.bak (where you have the backup file)
otherwise you can Go with remane the subsite.
Vote me, if its helps you. Regards, Tamilarasi.

How to separate/split different drum tracks from one recorded track

Hi,
Pretty hard to explain my intentions in the title, but i've recorded drums with one mic (so there's only one track), and i was wondering whether or not it's possible to separate the hi-hat, snare, toms, etc. from each other? So basically i want to create separate tracks for each of these sounds. I know it's a tricky and pretty specific question, but this would really come in handy since you can replace the drum sounds.
The biggest problem, if this were possible, is to separate tones that are recorded at the same time.
And yes, i tried the manual, but i couldn't figure this one out.
Thank you very much

You are right: This is impossible.
The next best thing is to use Flex Time to find the attack transients and then split the audio at those transients, so you can move the individual snippets to different tracks.

How do you change the podcast feed from one website to another?

Right now I'm using www.podstrike.com.
But I ran out of storage there, so I want to switch to www.mypodcast.com.
How can I do that, while maintaining the hundreds of subscribers I have?
Thanks!

Birdhunter,
You have 3 options,
1. login to itunes on the new computer and under store hit check for available downloads and that will download all purchases.
2. Home share your files from the old computer to the new one under the advanced tab using the same itunes account and drag and drop.
3. If the purchase music is on a mobile device (i.e. iphone,ipod touch, ipad) plug it into the new computer and right click on the device in itunes and hit "transfer purchases"
Hope this helps!

How can I manage two ATV1's from one database?

Hi all,
Let me explain the situation. In have two homes. Each has an ATV1 connected via HDMI to a TV.
In my main home I have a desktop PC (I am not a MAC user) with my music and movies in an itunes database and photos. I sync to my ATV1.
In my other home I have no internet. I have a netbook computer with an external hard disk (which holds a copy of the itunes database) and a router. I have proven that I can sync to the ATV1 successfully there even without having an internet line.
The problem is that the itunes on my netbook doesn't automatically know about changes to the database I make at home#1. How can I easily put the netbook itunes in line with one at home#1 on my desktop PC?
Thanks guys
Michael

If I understand you correctly and I'm not sure I do, then put the library onto the external and carry it between your two homes.

How do you transfer your play lists from one hard drive to another on the same computer?

I had itunes running on my old computer.
The mother board gave up.
Got another computer and put the good drive from the old computer into the newer one as a slave.
I have itunes all set up but can't figure out were to get my play lists and cover art to get them to the new drive/program.
Bob

Hold shift when you launch iTunes. It will let you chose a library. Chose the one one the slave drive from your old computer and it will look just like it did when you last used it on the old one.
It will be located in your User folder under My Music\iTunes

How do you copy paste a thumbnail from one file to another in Mavericks

I used to be able to do a copy/paste and duplicate in the thumbnails...how do I do now in Maverick?

In the Pages and Numbers applications, the thumbnail view of my document no longer allows me to re-arrange, duplicate or otherwise edit the thumbnails. The fact that I can't right click on the thumbnails to manage the pages are one thing, but the fact that I can't even drag and drop the order of pages is unbelievable. Suggestions?
