How to get more independent of screen resolution

Read already a number of topics about this in this forum. But I still wonder
how to set up ones Swing components for different screen resolutions. What
I did up to now is checking for the current screenwidth and setting sizes for
each resolution. Worked OK. But nowadays there are so many different
screen sizes, this is getting too complex.
I mean, one has to set the component's size, its location, the fonts used,
possible Icons in the Toolbar, the size of the components internal panels,
the insets, border sizes, and many other things. So, assuming ones window
with all the components looks great in one resolution, the developer still has
to check whether it all looks so great as well in any other thinkable screen
resolution. Even in those which the developer isn't even able to create using
his graphics card.
So, my question is: Is there somewhere a clever tool inside Java which makes
the total layout of components and their sizes inside the user's main window
more independent of the screen resolution?
For instance, it would be great to be able to define the component's size,
location, and so on, using the actual size it should appear on any screen.

You are right. For those using advanced high resolution
monitors, this will be a disadvantage. However, I'm quite
sure, the average user I'm aiming for, still uses rather
standard type of monitors. Of, course, in the (near?)
future, everybody may be using high resolution (same
progress as with our tv-screens). So I may have to include
these screen sizes as well later.
Your presentation made me aware of the great need for
everybody in the graphics business for a solution for this.
Still think, this can be automated in a not too difficult way.
I mean, if I can hard code this in such a way, that nobody
is able to see the difference of the program running on a
different resolution, it must be possible to include an
option in whatever programming language, to create ones
graphics components in a resolution independent way.
At least, I think. May be a good starting point for my next
project.
Thanks anyway for your help an remark. I think you still
deserve your dukes. Here they are.

How to get more features for Captivate 6

Hi all,
I've installed Captivate 6 on my laptop at work, I use it for creating training material for our project management system. I was just looking at some Adobe video tutorial and there are some features shown in the videos that I can't find on my captivate (for example Drag and Drop interaction, some particular widget like "Hangman" etc...). I tried to download them, clicking on the "Download more interactions" but there are any available. So, is there a way to get those features, at least those shown in your video tutorial for Captivate 6?
Thank you very much
Elena

Hello,
thank you for your answer.
I have the version 6.0, so maybe I can't get those features because of the version that I have.
Even if I click on "Download more" on the Interactions window, there are no Interactions available, but is it a problem related to my version or it's because there aren't available new features?
Thank you very much,
Elena Bettarini

Hello and welcome,
I cannot remember for the Hangman interaction anymore, but Drag&Drop was only available for subscription users, for version 6.1.0.3190 Maybe it was not clear in the video you are pointing at, that not all features were available for box licenses. Which version do you have?

You can look at the material stored and see what you don't need and delete. But a better way is to get an external hard drive and move large quantities of material to the external storage. That will free up internal storage capacity.

How to get more than 256 bytes data

hello.
I use Schlumberger 32K Card�iJava Card 2.1�j.
Please tell me how to get more than 256 bytes data from the applet in the card!!
According to JCRE specification, need to use Get Response Command.
What is Get Response command?
Do I have to write processing of Get Response command to an applet?
Or JCRE processes Get Response command?
If knows, please tell me about!!
Thanks.

Thanks for your response!!
I understand that I have to write processing of Get Response command to an applet.
But case of Schlumberger 32K card, when host send Get Response command to an applet, card reply 6F-00!?
I'm investigating now, and it seems that response is returned before applet processes Get Response command(CLA = 00, INS = C0).
Do JCRE perform the process of Get Response command?

Newest compared to what?
There is a reason we don't say use the "latest" or "best" methods to complete tasks, because they are vague ill defined terms.
Could you return us the favor and tell us exactly what version of Pages on what version of OSX.
The answer varies.

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

Anyone know how to get to the security screen with a " Crashed" phone?

Getting the message "Restore Needed" but it says I can't connect with my Iphone because my phone has a security code. I can't get to the Security code screen on the phone. Anyone know how to get to the security screen with a " Crashed" phone?

Restore the phone on the same computer it was last synced to and it will not require the unlock code.
If you don't have access to that computer you will have to use Recovery mode, which will wipe all content. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.

How do I develop for multiple screen resolutions using Adobe Air

Hi,
I'm looking at developing mobile apps using Adobe Air but there's something I'm not quite sure. Sorry if this is a newbie question or has been repeated but I have looked at tutorials, etc but just want to get a general idea on how to prepare the assets. Here are some of my questions:-
1) If I want to develop for the iPhone non-retina and retina resolution, do I actually need to only write the code and layout the graphics in retina(960 x 640) stage size and it will automatically scale down for non-retina resolution?
2) How do I cater for iPhone 5 resolution? Do I actually need to swap say the background images through code by detecting the resolution size it was in? or do I actually just leave the background image longer it exceeds the stage height so when it's iPhone 5 it will show everything?
thanks for the help!

If you are talking about regular Flash work, and not your own code-layout application, then what happens depends on the scale mode of the stage. Typically, when doing code layout the stage is set to no_scale, and you have to do all the hard work yourself, calculating the size of things, and laying them out with ActionScript.
If it's more of a typical Flash graphical scene there are two other scale modes that make life easier for you.
The default scale mode is show_all. With that you will be certain to see all of the content of your original Flash stage, and if the screen is a wider ratio than your stage, the content that is off the sides of the stage will be revealed. See this app I made, that uses that technique:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meet-heckerty-funny-interactive/id514220257?mt=8
It works well enough, I have enough extra background graphics to go out to a 16:9 screen, including iPhone 5. That particular stage is 1024x768, and it will scale all the way from iPad 3 Retina down to iPhone 3gs.
The other scale mode that is useful is no_border. In that mode you are certain to not have any black borders around the stage. It achieves that by cropping into either the left and right, or the top and bottom, of the stage. See these apps I made, that work that way:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/milkshake-mayhem/id556962979?mt=8
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/p.s.-snowflake-yourself/id571384475?mt=8
In both of those cases I have content that is correct for half way between the ratio limits of 16:9 and 4:3 (or 9:16 and 3:4 for the portrait case). When the app runs on your device, some amount of the left and right, or the top and bottom, of the stage is cropped. I have enough background content for that to be ok, and all of the important content is within the middle 14:9 or 9:14 area of the screen. The stage size for the landscape app is 1680xx1080, exactly 14:9. This approach is better than the show_all one, in that the user doesn't feel like they are seeing a lot of blank space, as can be the case when viewing a 4:3 stage on a 16:9 screen.
One last thing, even with either of those techniques the app won't fill the iPhone 5 screen. To get that to work you have to include a splash screen that is 640x1136, and name [email protected]. With that in place iOS knows to make your app use the full width or height of the iPhone 5.

How to find out the current screen resolution/width in webdynpro.

HI,
Can any one please tell me how to get the screen resolution in webdynpro?
Regards
-Sandip

Hi Sandip,
- view size can be set by setting the 'width' of the RootUIElementContainer. By defalut, it will be 100% only. Also, It is always better to use the % coz it does not distort your view with different screen resolutions.
- while creating the iview, you have the property like 'HeightType'. There you can set the value as FIXED, AUTOMATIC & FULL_PAGE. If you wish, you may leave it as it is.
- All you have the properties like 'Fixed Height' etc to set the size values.
Regards

How to get past License Acceptance Screen? (PSE8) - Part 2

Well, I thought I had solved this problem by re-installing PSE 8, since it worked again for a while. However, now inexplicably it has started having the same problem again (i.e., refusing to get past the license agreement screen even though I click "accept") - see this thread for the first part of this problem/discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4823143#4823143
This time, after trying all the suggested solutions without success, I again tried to just go ahead and re-install PSE8 to solve the problem. HOWEVER, this time I keep getting an error message during the attempted installation (actually, during the beginning part where it makes you uninstall PSE8 before it will install it again) that prevents the installation from completing. The error is shown below:
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/Cladean/PSE8installerror_zps4fc701de.jpg
So, I'm stuck and unable to use my copy of PSE8.
Anybody know how I get past this mess and get it working again?

OK - thanks for trying to help, but I'm outta here. After telling me last night that the Adobe Chat service won't support or help me with my PSE 8 problem because it's too old, I D/L'ed and installed the trial version of PSE 11 last night. It fired up OK last night, but today it said it had some updates to do, so I let it install them. Now, PSE 11 fails to open. I tried to chat with Adobe support, explained the problem and gave them a copy of the error message details.
They then said that the Adobe Chat service will not support or help me solve the problem with their latest version of PSE, because it's the trial version and they only help with the very first launch, and they only support the full version. I guess they expect me to buy the full version when I can't get the trial version to start and they won't help. Gotta say, that won't be happening.
Just for grins, the relevant portion of the chat log is set forth below.

Chat Transcript
Thank you for your patience.
info: You are now chatting with 'Basavakumar '
Basavakumar : Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Basavakumar : I have received your query. Please allow me a moment to verify your account and to review the details of your request.
Panthercules: Hello again - I think we chatted last night
Basavakumar : As I understand that you are unable to work with Photoshop Elements 11.0, am I correct?
Panthercules: That's correct now - since you couldn't help with my PSE8 problem last night, I decided to try the PSE 11 trial version again to see if I could get that working
Basavakumar : Thank you for confirming.
Basavakumar : I will be glad to check and help you with this issue.
Panthercules: Thanks - here is the error details on the message I'm getting when it stopped working today (after working OK last night):
Panthercules: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: Photoshop Elements 11.0.exe Application Version: 11.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 505e85c3 Fault Module Name: StackHash_0a9e Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 00000000 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Read our privacy statement online: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104288&clcid=0x0409 If the online privacy statement is not available, please read our privacy statement offline: C:\Windows\system32\en-US\erofflps.txt
Basavakumar : May I know what is the exact error message you are getting when you try to launch Photoshop Elements 11.0 application?
Panthercules: see above
Panthercules: It starts with the popup saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 has stopped working"
Panthercules: and then gives the above info as "problem details"
Basavakumar : Just to confirm before you were able to launch Photoshop Elements 11 application?
Panthercules: Yes - it installed last night (without choking on the failed PSE8 uninstall as I thought it might), and it launched and imported the PSE8 catalog just fine. I launched it a couple of times last night, just to see if it was working. But when I tried to launch it today to do some scanning, it popped up a message about updates being available. It installed those, but now fails to launch
Basavakumar : Thank you for confirming.
Basavakumar : In this case you need to refer the Adobe forums.
Basavakumar : Please click here Adobe Forums.
Basavakumar : Please click on the above link to visit Adobe Forums
Basavakumar :
Basavakumar :
Basavakumar : Is there anything else I can help you with?
Panthercules: So, again you're saying that the Adobe Chat support doesn't support even the latest version of PSE 11 and you can't help me with this?
Basavakumar : Yes chat support is available for Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 fullversion.
Panthercules: So, somehow you expect me to buy the full version when the trial version stops working and you can't help me get it working?
Basavakumar : For trial version support is available only for first launch.
Basavakumar : So please visit the forums for further assistance.
Basavakumar : Is there anything else I can help you with?
Panthercules: No - no point - looks like I won't be needing any support from Adobe as I never plan to buy anything from an outfit with this lousy support - thanks anyway.
Basavakumar : Thank you for contacting Adobe. Good Bye.
=======================
For those of you stuck with troublesome Adobe software, I'm glad you have a helpful Forum here, but I can't see it making any sense to buy any more software from a company that has such crummy official support, so unless my copy of PhotoShop goes belly-up sometime I guess I'm gone.
Thanks for trying to help folks - too bad Adobe doesn't have the same attitude.
