How to deal with multiple Android ressolutions with Flash- AIR games

Hi,
I have some Flash games that want to make run on different Android devices. How do we do so? I've seen that in one of my games, while I check "full screen" when exporting, the game area is not taking all the available space on the screen. I guess that's because the aspect ratio.
I've seen this nice tutorial to solve that problem on Flex apps/games: http://gregsramblings.com/2010/05/06/scaling-an-adobe-air-application-to-fit-multiple-reso lutions-and-netbooks/
Is there any similar solution for flash based games?
Thanks!

That article looks like it's geared towards desktop applications, and it makes sure the window never gets bigger than the original size.
You will read, any minute now, that a lot of people set the stage to not scale, and then use layout code to position the interface to look right, and will even take note of the DPI of the device to make sure that buttons are the right physical size. That's fine for typical utility apps, but if you have a detailed illustrated background, or any sort of fixed bitmap art, it may not be the right way to solve the problem.
The way I solve the problem is to not do any scaling at all, I leave that up to Flash, but I have spare content off the edges of the stage, that will be revealed on wider or taller screens.
The first time I used that approach I made the Flash stage be 480x320, and had extra content above and below the stage, to a total height of 360. That single file would exactly fit the iPhone screen and also the different aspect ratio iPad. On the iPad you would see the extra content.
That works fine if you layout for the widest device, and a have extra content for the less wide devices, but there is only one device less wide than the iPhone, the iPad. So now I have switched the technique to horizontal.
My stage is now 1024x768, and there is a lot of extra content off the left and right edges. I have enough there that it will still fill the screen on the widest device, which is the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

How can I create multiple sales orders with reference to one contract?

Hello Gurus,
Can you please how can I create multiple sales orders with reference to one contract?
thanks!
Rakesh

hi
Lets consider example
In your contract for line item 1 you have entered qty 100
You careated sales order with 70 quantity, and now you want to creat another sales order for 30
For this first you need to check what is your item category in contract (VA42)
Goto VOV7
SPRO - IMG - Sales and distribution - Sales - Sales document item - Define item categories - Go to change mode
Make the completion rule = B Item is completed after full quantity has been referenced

How do I merge multiple Excel files with more than one tab in each file using PowerQuery?

Hello
I have 12 Excel (.xlsx) files and each file has three identically named and ordered tabs in them.
I know how to merge multiple Excel files in a folder using M (those guides are all over the web) but how do I merge multiple Excel files with multiple (yet identically named and ordered) tabs? Surely it is possible? I just don't know how to do it in M.
Cheers
James

What Laurence says is correct, and probably the best thing to do when the sheets have differing structures. Here is an alternate approach that works well when the sheets all have the same structure.
When you first open the Excel file from Power Query, you can see its structure in the navigator at the right-hand-side of the screen. If you select the root (which is the filename itself) and click Edit, you'll see all the tabs in the sheet as a single table.
You can now do filtering based on the Name, Item and Kind values. When you've reduced the set of things down to the sheets you want, select the Data column and say "Remove Other Columns". If the sheets don't have any header rows, you can just click the expand
icon in the header and you'll be done.
Otherwise, if the sheets have headers or if some other kind of sheet-level transformation is required against each sheet before doing a merge, you'll have to write some M code manually. In the following example, each sheet has a header row consisting of
two columns: Foo and Bar. So the only step I need to perform before merging is to promote the first row into a header. This is done via the Table.TransformColumns operation.
let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\CurtH\Desktop\Test1.xlsx")),
    RemovedOtherColumns = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Data"}),
    PromotedHeaders = Table.TransformColumns(RemovedOtherColumns,{{"Data", each Table.PromoteHeaders(_)}}),
    ExpandData = Table.ExpandTableColumn(PromotedHeaders, "Data", {"Foo", "Bar"}, {"Data.Foo", "Data.Bar"})
in
    ExpandData

How to use the Google Android Emulator in Flash Builder on Windows 7?

I want to try out Flash Builder to create an app, but I cannot find out how to use the Google Android Emulator in Flash Builder. The simulators in Flash Builder work, and the android emulator is installed correctly and can run. I just can't seem to connect them. How do I do that?

Hi Pahup,
Thank you for your reply!!
I adapted an Android App using Flash CC on a Mac. I already published this App for the Apple App Store. When I published the App for Android I chose Air 3.7.xxx for Android. I also created the p12 certificate using Flash CC in the publishing settigns for Android. So my App is theoretically finished and ready for Upload.
When I went to the Google Play Store Developer Console I had the options to
1.) Upload APK
or
2.) Prepare Store Entry
...so I prepared the Store entry first. When I go to "APK"-Tab in the console it looks like this:
... it says "Upload APK" and the Button below "Get Licence Key". When I click on the license Key Button it looks like this:
So I think I should enter this RSA-Key somehow into my App BEFORE uploading it to the Google Play Store. This is recommended when an Ap is set to be paid. My Application is set to paid.
I did not use any kind of licensing API (until now - cause I don´t know how and what it is for)
This is all new to me. It is the first App I want to bringt to the Android market. I really hoped it would be as easy as getting an app into the Apple App Store. I found so many step by step instructions for dummies on "How to get an Flash iOS App into the App Store plus creating all the certificates needed", so I thought it would be the same for Android. But there is no help at all at the moment. I am totally confused.
So any help, hint or instrusction would be great!!
By the way - this is the App I want to get into the Google Play Store

How to back up multiple iphones/ipads with different icloud accounts but same apple id

I would like to back up 3 idevices each with different icloud accounts to itunes. But they use the same apple id so that itune purchases can be installed on each device (2 iphones and 1 ipad).
All I want to do is create a backup in case the phones need to be restored. I also want to back up before downloading iOS 8.
The Macbook Pro that I will back up to has one user and one itunes library.
Is this possible without mixing up address books and contacts etc? Appreciate if some one could direct me to detail step-by-step instructions if they exist or please tell me how I can do this.
Thanks.

With Family Sharing they don't need to have the same Apple ID anymore.
But backups to iTunes are kept separate among multiple devices; Apple ID and iCloud isn't involved at all. Just make sure the devices do not have the same name.

How do I sync multiple iCloud calendars with outlook

I am running Outlook 2007 (not exchange) on a PC and want to sync multiple (3-4) iCloud calendars with Outlook. Currently I am syncing only one and works great, but I am having a terrible time on setting up additional iCloud Calendars. Any suggestions?

Diesel -
First, Thanks for responding!!!
Second, I've got it syncing with one, and only one, of the calendars so I know that it can. The question that I have is if there is a way to sync with multiple calendars and if so how do I do it. I've got the one working by having iCloud sync with one of my calendars in outlook and my phone sync with iCloud. Does anyone have an idea how to accomplish this?

Find and replace with multiple files and with a watch folder

I am trying to create a watch folder that uses red_menace script to:
1. Have a folder that receives multiple xml files that run the script one by one.
2. then move the files to an output folder.
I tried modifying the set TheFIle to choose file -- the original text file to:
with multiple selections allowed
But that doesn't seem to work. I know i'm missing a step. Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks!
The way i'd like to setup things is having an input folder on the desktop (or just have the application on the desktop and I can drag the files onto it), and let it do it's thing. Once it's done have it export the xml files into an output folder.

Help With Multiple Class Objects With Methods

I am dealing with multiple classes. I am wondering why I am getting an error on this line it's by the bottom
          obj1.array() = newArray[i];
It gives the array out of bounds. On another note I believe I can change obj1 to just like incomingArray if I wanted correct since it's just a reference because I should be able to do this method sort on any array.

How to efficiently log multiple data streams with TDMS

Ok, first off, I'll admit I am completely clueless when it comes to logging, TDMS in particular. That said, I'm trying to work out the best way to log some data from an existing LabVIEW-based control system, so that users can later access that data in the event of catastrophic failure or other situations where they might want to see exactly what happened during a particular run.
I've got a total of between 6 and 12 data points that need to be stored (depending on how many sensors are on the system). These are values being read from a cRIO control system. They can all be set to Single data type, if necessary - even the one Boolean value I'm tracking is already being put through the "convert to 0,1" for graph display purposes. The data is currently read at 100ms intervals for display, but I will be toying with the rate that I want to dump data to the disk - a little loss is OK, just need general trending for long term history. I need to keep file sizes manageable, but informative enough to be useful later.
So, I am looking for advice on the best way to set this up. It will need to be a file that can be concurrently be read as it is being written, when necessary - one of the reasons I am looking at TDMS in the first place (it was recommended to me previously). I also need an accurate Date/Time stamp that can be used when displaying the data graphically on a chart, so they can sync up with the external camera recordings to correlate just what happened and when.
Are there specific pitfalls I should watch for? Should I bundle all of the data points into an array for each storage tick, then decimate the array on the other end when reading? I've dug through many of the examples, even found a few covering manual timestamp writing, but is there a preferred method that keeps file size minimized (or extraction simplified)?
I definitely appreciate any help... It's easy to get overwhelmed and confused in all of the various methods I am finding for handling TDMS files, and determining which method is right for me.

I need to bump this topic again... I'll be honest, the TDMS examples and available help are completely letting me down here.
As I stated, I have up to 12 data values that I need to stream into a log file, so TDMS was suggested to me. The fact that I can concurrently read a file being written to was a prime reason I chose this format. And, "it's super easy" as I was told...
Here's the problem. I have multiple data streams. Streams that are not waveform data, but actual realtime data feedback from a control system, that is being read from a cRIO control system into a host computer (which is where I want to log the data). I also need to log an accurate timestamp with this data. This data will be streamed to a log file in a loop that consistently writes a data set every 200ms (that may change, not exactly sure on the timing yet).
Every worthwhile example that I've found has assumed I'm just logging a single waveform, and the data formatting is totally different from what I need. I've been flailing around with the code, trying to find a correct structure to write my data (put it all in an array, write individual points, etc) and it is, quite honestly, giving me a headache. And finding the correct way for applying the correct timestamp (accurate data and time the data was collected) is so uncharacteristically obtuse and hard to track down... This isn't even counting how to read the data back out of the file to display for later evaluation and/or troubleshooting... Augh!
It's very disheartening when a colleague can throw everthing I'm trying to do together in 12 minutes in the very limited SCADA user interface program he uses to monitor his PLCs... Yet LabVIEW, the superior program I always brag about, is slowly driving me insane trying to do what seems like a relatively simple task like logging...
So, does anyone have any actual useful examples of logging multiple DIFFERENT data points (not waveforms) and timestamps into a TDMS file? Or real suggestions for how to accomplish it, other than "go look at the examples" which I have done (and redone). Unless, of course, you have an actual relevant example that won't bring up more questions than it answers for me, in which case I say "bring it on!"
Thanks for any help... My poor overworked brain will be eternally grateful.

How could I sync an Android device with a Mac mini?

There does not seem to be any obvious way to sync contacts, or, indeed, much of anything. 'Accounts & Sync', in 'Settings' on the device doesn't acknolwdge that the Mac exists by direct USB connection, Bluetooth, or 802.11 wireless. The device doesn't show in the Finder when connected by USB or 802.11 wireless. (It does _charge_ when connected by USB, and it does show a network connection via 802.11 and its IP shows up on the network, it just won't connect to sync anything.) It's a T-Mobile device; T-Mobile doesn't seem to have any tools to make the connection, or at least I can't find any, and there aren't any apps in the App Store which seem able to do this, or again I can't find any. It's trivial to connect an iOS device; surely _someone_ has a way to connect an Android. Surely?

How Do I Use Multiple iCloud logins With find my iPhone?

With iOS 6, I was able to link Find My iPhone accounts across multiple devices. Now, with iOS 7, it appears that I can now only keep track of devices that share the same icloud login.
Talk about a downgrade. I regularly use my phone to find my wife's iPad or my son's iPhone. Or should I say, I used to. Now I can only find the phone I'm using.
Awesome.

Here here! it seems to me that Apple is looking to get people to have one major iCloud account and force families to buy additional storage.. WIth 7 devices (and thousands of $$$ in devices) I couldn't possibly use one account at 5 gb for back up, 10 GB would be a stretch between my wife and I between our combined 4 devices. Why would I spend this kind of money again to put my kids in idevices when the BEST security device just got castrated? Really disappointing.

How do I create multiple libraries & use with multiple ipods?

Hi All,
My wife and I have different tastes in music. Currently we use different user log ons to seperate our libraries. It's a complete pain because there's no other reason to use seperate log ons.
We'll soon be upgrading to a new iMac and I'm wondering if it's possible to have two libraries operating in the one itunes sesssion?
So here are my questions:
1) Can I have two libraries sourcing the same music files?
2) We each have an iPod, can it be set to only update one of those libraries, but still automatically update when connected?
3) If we create playlists, will they be associated with only one library, or both (my preference is one, of course)?
4) I'm pretty sure iPods can be set so my iPod only updates my playlists, and my wife's iPod only updates her playlists - is that correct?
5) If we have seperate libraries, can we have seperate ratings? (Our opinion of what a five star song is is different)!
Of course, for the above questions, if the answer is 'yes' please let me know how to do this. I've had a look through the itunes manuals online, but they don't seem to have any information.
Cheers, Chris

Chris,
I have the exact same situation, and I have tried Doug's iTunes Library Manager, but it doesn't work for me. The first workaround I tried was to set up two smart playlists to group together any music that only one of us liked, which could then be checked or un-checked (control-click) depending on which iPod is being synced. This is clumsy, and if you aren't careful the Recently Added playlist will still "contaminate" your iPod.
Last night I just made a new library for my wife (hold down Option when starting iTunes), copied everything over using the Add to Library command, exported all the playlists using the Export Library command, deleted all the music and playlists she doesn't want, and synced her iPod. It took a while to erase and re-sync, but it is now synced to HER library, and she doesn't see any music she doesn't like.
Tonight I will do the same for myself. I will have, then, three libraries which can be selected by holding down the option key when starting iTunes: Mine, My wife's, and the main one with everything (called Library) All the music files stay on an external Firewire Drive. There is no way to toggle libraries from within iTunes, you have to quit and start it again holding down the option key.
Podcasts are another story, and I haven't quite figured them out yet.

How can I use multiple email-addresses with "Administration Email Address"

What syntax should I use to have more email-adresses in the screen "Manage Service - Instance Settings - Email" after the field "Administration Email Address".
I tried:
- '[email protected]','[email protected]'
- '[email protected], [email protected]'
- '[email protected]; [email protected]'
- "[email protected]','[email protected]"
- "[email protected], [email protected]"
- "[email protected]; [email protected]"
Every time I get the ORA-29279 / 501.
Please help me with the right syntax for multiple email-addresses.
Thanx!
reg.
Chris

From a google search of the docs, it looks that that field is used as a FROM address... hence it's by definition only one address.
Administration Email Address - Defines the "from" address for administrative tasks that generate email, such as approving a provision request or resetting a password.

How do I insert multiple images inline with text in Pages 5.0?

I have over 20 images in my iPhoto library that I want to insert in a document one after the other (inline with text).
How do I do this without having to insert them one by one and going into the image options to change the formatting? It's a pain to have to do it this way...
I tried using the media browser in Pages, but it seems you can only add them one by one. So I exported the pictures from iPhoto into a folder, selected them all in Finder and dragged them onto my document. All the images appeared stacked on top of each other in a random spot on my page. I can't select them all for some reason. So again, I have to click on them one by one to the formatting? Why is this not simpler? Am I missing something?
