How to load and increase size of a custom cursor on a certain monitor (1st or 2nd)?

In my application I need to load a custom cursor, make it big and display it on the my second monitor in a dual monitor setup to let user click with an additional mouse. I found this thread able to solve the first 2 questions, however the cursor only changes within the VI panel. I had tried but couldn't get a handle to the second monitor, in face, not my primary one as well since I'm not familiar with winapi. I also want to restrict when the user can use the second mouse and only in the second monitor if possible. By the way I am using windows 7 64 bit with Labview 9 32 bit.
Thanks,

Ishi,
More than likely, you are going to have to use Windows OS APIs for this. It sounds like you would like to integrate your program at the operating system level, and will have to make calls to Windows to accomplish this in the proper manner. You can make calls to Windows in LabVIEW through several methods. Check out this example that sets the position of the cursor via a Call Library Function Node to the Windows SDK.

How to load and instantiate FXG at runtime?

Hi
Let's say I have a Flex 4 app whose SWF size in KB/MB should be small. While the app runs, the user might want to make the app load 10 of 1000 FXG components that are available. How to load and instantiate these 10 FXG components?
(I want to avoid compiling an SWF that would contain 1000 FXG components and thus would be large in file size.)
Here are snippets from an example which can instantiate FXG components, but would probably be too large in SWF size if would contain all the FXG components.
fxgstuff/rect.fxg and fxgstuff/circle.fxg contain this:
<fxg:Graphic xmlns:fxg="http://ns.adobe.com/fxg/2008" version="1">
   <fxg:Group>
Snippets from the main MXML file:
import fxgstuff.*;
import spark.core.SpriteVisualElement;
public function addRect():void {
    var _rect:SpriteVisualElement = new rect;
    _rect.x = _x_rect;
    _rect.y = _y_rect;
    container.addElement(_rect);
public function addCircle():void {
<s:Button label="Add rectangle" click="addRect()"/>
<s:Button label="Add circle" click="addCircle()"/>
<s:Group id="container"/>
Tobi

You put each graphic into a MXML Module (not MXML Component) which stays on the server and is loaded at runtime when you request it, as in:
// >>>>> Imports <<<<<
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import mx.events.ModuleEvent;
import mx.modules.IModuleInfo;
import mx.modules.ModuleManager;
// >>>>> Variable Declarations <<<<<
private var urlLdl:URLLoader;
private var modInfo:IModuleInfo;
private var oneGraphicsModule:Object;
// >>>>> Methods <<<<<
private function moduleLoader( pathToModule:String ):void
// Loading one Module
modInfo = ModuleManager.getModule( pathToModule );
urlLdl = new URLLoader( );
urlLdl.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
urlLdl.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, bytesLoadedHandler );
urlLdl.load( new URLRequest( pathToModule ) );
private function bytesLoadedHandler( event:Event ):void
modInfo.addEventListener( ModuleEvent.READY, moduleLoadedHandler );
modInfo.load( null, null, event.target.data );
private function moduleLoadedHandler( event:ModuleEvent ):void
oneGraphicsModule = modInfo.factory.create();
// Do with the module what you need to . . .
So all of your graphics stay on the server, you "just" need to put each graphic or group of graphics into a MXML Module.

How to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames?

I do not have much experience on Adobe Flash or Action Script 3, but I know the basics.
I am Arabic language teacher, and I design an application to teach Arabic, I just would like to learn how to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames.
Thanks

Look into using the Loader class to load the swf files. If you want to have it happen in different frames then you can put the code into the different frames.

I just updated my iTunes and I do not like the newer version.....can I go back to the earlier version?? This new version does not have the iTunes DJ nor does is show at the bottom as in the earlier version how many songs and the size of my library.

I just updated my iTunes on 12-7-2012 and I do not like the newer version.....can I go back to the earlier version?? This new version does not have the iTunes DJ nor does is show at the bottom as in the earlier version how many songs and the size of my library.

To do this in iMovie 11. use the SHARE menu. Share your project using the Share menu and choose Export Using QuickTime.
In the Dialog box that comes up, choose Sound to AIFF, or one of the other sound options. This will create a file that you can drag into iTubes.

How to load and unload Multiple External SWF

hello there,
i need help to figuring out how to load and also unload(removing) multiple external SWF.
so here is what i;m trying to do,
i want to load multiple external SWF and play it on my main SWF now i hove no problem with just loading multiple SWF and placing it in the display list .The problem came up when i tried removing those loaded SWF from the display list ,The problem exist because i have no way to refer to what i have loaded and placed on the display list,
i used a single loader instance to load all that external swf,
i do know that we have to remove all the event listener related to the external SWF that we want to remove and for this purpose i have crated a function called destroy which the main objective for this function is to remove all event listener inside the swf and also isolating all variable so it would be eligible for garbage collecting, here is what the code look like:
// Create this in every object you use
public function destroy():void
     // Remove event listeners
     // Remove anything in the display list
     // Clear the references to other objects, so it gets totally isolated
sorry it just a kind of pseudocode cause this function will customize with it's own property i did this just for the purpose of simplicity and easy understanding..,
so now back to main problem how should i solve this problem??
i tried used an arraf to save all the loaded swf
     the array is just used to save the what the loader is loading but the adding to display method is using
movieClipActAsContainer.addChild(e.target.content); //the event is from the Event.COMPLETE
but i have a hard time using that arrya back and matching it to the one i got from the display list.
please do help me,
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated,
and if can pleas show me a source code or pseudocode of what you're suggesting to me cause my english is not so fluent yet,
thanks before.

Hey EI,
I had done this kind of project recently and for loading and unloading different swfs. I had used loaders specific to that filename and for removing I had used a single movieclip instance name and on clicking that specific loader request name that needs to be removed will be requested from the specific function. As mentioned below
Loading SWF:
===============================
swfLoaderIndia.load(swfRequestIndia);//This will load the request
If you are inside a movieclip while requesting use below code
MovieClip(this.root).addChild(swfLoaderIndia);//This will load swf on stage
or else
Stage.addChild(swfLoaderIndia);
Unloading SWF
=====================================
If you are inside a movieclip while requesting use below code
MovieClip(this.root).removeChild(swfLoaderIndia);//This will unload swf on stage
or else
Stage.removeChild(swfLoaderIndia);
Above code will be in specific function which will be requested when the loading and unloading is required.
I hope this helps you in your project.
With Regards,
Sagar S. Ranpise

Can't do the finger spread on trackpad and increase size

I used to be able to do the the finger spread on trackpad and increase size of pages on internet and some other things like Word. I looked at sys prefs and it's checked. What's up and can I do anything about it?
Thanks.

Actually, the problem has been going on for a while, at least a couple weeks, so I have rebooted many times. A bit perplexing. I can do the expansion/contraction thingy in FCP, but not elsewhere that I used to.
Thanks for the reply!

How to load and show PDF on stage in Flash using AlivePDF or PurePDF external libraries?

Hello,
I searched a lot on internet but didn't find a proper way to load and open/show PDF on stage in Flash. Following are my understandings about this topic.
I know Flash does not have the built-in functionality to load and show pdf document on stage.
I know you can do this in AIR application using HTMLLoader class but it required adove reader to be installed on your machine.
I have used AlivePDF/PurePDF and I know how to export/generate a PDF File using these libraries but I don't know how to use them to load and show PDF document on stage in Flash. According to my research, I think these libraries can accomplish my task but how, I don't know. That's because I am here for your help.
People suggest to first convert pdf into an image or swf file and then import it into Flash but I don't want this solution because my clients will be importing/uplading PDF file into my software.
Some people suggest to "Convert PDF renderer code written in C/C++ using Alchemy to flash library" and then use that library to my project. I don't have any idea how to do this. If anyone can help me to achieve required functionality this way, please guide me.
Now you know about my understandings, so you can guide me in better way. Let me give you an example what kind of functionality I want. Please visit: https://www.pdffiller.com. Upload a pdf file there and you will see that it shows that pdf to user (At the moment, I want this functionality) and pdf annotation i.e. write text on pdf and other functionalities.
NOTE: I am not a Flex and AIR developer. I am a Flash (Actionscript 3.0) Developer. So please first help according to flash. If you want to offer the solution according to Flex and AIR, you are most welcome.
I specially want "ADOBE EXPERTS - Adobe Flash developer from Adobe" to comment on this and help me out. It's about 4th day I am without a solution. I am afraid, I'll loose my client if I'll not have a solution in next couple of days.
Thanks,

Just to throw in a $0.02, I looked at those libraries myself quite a while ago and all they had the ability to do was give you information and assets from the PDF. At that point you literally had to read each page in the PDF (whatever the library could extract), use the information it extracted (position, type size, images, etc) and create a layout engine that could "reconstruct" the page piece by piece.
I hope it's better these days but that's what I took from those libraries quite a while ago and it may still be true. That would explain "Convert PDF renderer code written in c/c++ using Alchemy to flash library". Someone may already have written a quality layout engine. Otherwise there was no "load pdf, run this ShowPDF() function to add to display list" functionality at all.

How to load and save custom workspaces in PE7

I've written a little utility which allows PE7 users to load and save custom workspaces. It's attached to post #1 of this thread.
System requirements
The utility has been tested with Windows XP Pro SP3 only. It might or might not run under Vista. It will only work with PE7 installations where the executable files are in the default places.
Installation
When you have downloaded the utility (it's only 199KB) you can run it from any convenient place in your system - it doesn't need to be installed as such.
Usage
It's pretty self-explanatory in use but here's the manual!
Run the downloaded utility "PE7WS.exe".
A file selection dialog appears. Choose the workspace layout file you wish to use. "LastUsed.layout" is the last used workspace (that's all you will be offered the first time you run the program). If you press Cancel at this point, the program will exit and nothing will happen.
Once you have selected the workspace, click "Open" and Premiere Elements 7 will run, using the workspace layout you chose.
After you exit from Premiere Elements 7, a workspace layout file save dialog will appear. If you made changes to the workspace during your Premiere Elements 7 session, you can now give the revised workspace a name and save it.
Do not save the workspace in a different directory from that which the dialog offers!
If you have changed an existing custom workspace, and you want to update the version previously stored, just select the name and over-write the saved workspace layout with the new one.
If you don't want to save the workspace at all, just click "Cancel" - next time you run Premiere Elements, you can choose the "LastUsed.layout" workspace to use that last used unsaved workspace in any event.
If you use the PE7WS utility to run Premiere Elements 7, and then you use the menu option "Window > Restore Workspace", then exit, you can either cancel the workspace saving stage, (which will mean that "LastUsed.layout" will contain that default workspace), or you could give that default workspace a name like "PE7 Default" so you can start a future Premiere Elements 7 session with the default workspace, even though you last used a custom workspace.
If you run Premiere Elements 7 in the usual way without using PE7WS.exe, the workspace that appears will be the last used one.
The usual disclaimer...
The utility should be entirely safe in use, but I can't accept responsibility for any loss or damage it might cause. However, the only file manipulation is does is to workspace files in the directory that Premiere Elements 7 uses purely for the purpose - the utility doesn't go anywhere near your precious project files.

I'm finding it very handy on my particular twin 22" monitor setup to sometimes use a one-screen layout and sometimes a two screen layout. I 'discovered' that having the timeline on the second monitor enables me to tweak edits there while having the playback full size after pressing the "full screen" button on the first monitor. Where the timeline would normally be I have the history, mixer, and other windows always open. As the second monitor is also used by another PC (the one I have the net and email etc on) using "Maxivista" monitor sharing software, I revert to single screen layout when doing stuff like exporting to DVD so I can see what is going on with the render while typing stuff like this.
Selectable workspaces are dead handy!

How to load and access bitmaps?

Hey there!
     After a few days of frustration and searching the web, I've finally come to understand how to make a sprite sheet and animate it. I understand classes and how to import external actionscript files which contain them into my Flash project. The problem is, I can't figure out how to properly name and load a bitmap file from the folder and pass it onto my functions as arguements. >_<
How do I load and access an external bitmap in Actionscript 3.0?
I'm using a class I found online here: http://www.bensilvis.com/?p=229
The problem comes around when I try to access pieces of my bitmap, as he attempts to do here: http://www.bensilvis.com/?p=317
var currentSprite:SpriteSheet = new SpriteSheet(sheet, 20, 20);
This is the only line that is confusing me, becuase he uses a variable "sheet", which is a bitmap, and I'm not sure how to define/name my external bitmap image as such.
SpriteSheet(tileSheetBitmap:Bitmap, width:Number = 16, height:Number = 16)
tileSheetBitmap: the Bitmap of the sprite sheet we will use
width: the width of tiles in the sheet
height: the height of tiles in the sheet
Thank you! <3

Actually, nevermind. I got rid of the "new" and it worked fine. My bitmap was converted and displalys fine. Thank you very much!
However, I keep getting one last error:
"Call to a possibly undefined methond DrawTile through a reference with a static type SpriteSheet."
...I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's the DrawTile part of the class:
public function drawTile(tileNumber:int):BitmapData
            tileRectangle.x = int((tileNumber % rowLength)) * tileWidth;
            tileRectangle.y = int((tileNumber / rowLength)) * tileHeight;
            canvasBitmapData.copyPixels(tileSheetBitmapData, tileRectangle, tilePoint);
            return canvasBitmapData.clone();
...and here's my trouble code:
var sprites:Bitmap = Bitmap(my_loader.content);
                     var MySheet:SpriteSheet = new SpriteSheet(sprites, 32, 32);
                    sprites.bitmapData = MySheet.DrawTile(0);
                    addChild(sprites);

How to load and unload same SWF with different xmlFilePath?

I have a slideshow on my homepage and try to load and unload same instance with different xmlFilePath based on language on the same page.
var flashvars = {
        xmlFilePath: escape("http://www.bodto.com.tr/kik.aspx"),
        xmlFileType: "OPML",
        lang: swfobject.getQueryParamValue("lang")
        //initialURL: escape(document.location)
      var params = {
        bgcolor: "#000000",
        allowfullscreen: "true",
        wmode:"transparent",
        allowScriptAccess: "always"
      var attributes = {}
          swfobject.embedSWF("/swf/slideshowpro.swf", "flashcontent", "550", "400", "10.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
Actionscript3
var langPath = root.LoaderInfo.parameters["xmlFilePath"]+root.LoaderInfo.parameters["lang"];
my_ssp.xmlFilePath = langPath;
var fileType = root.LoaderInfo.parameters["xmlFileType"];
my_ssp.xmlFileType = fileType;
Based on above informations, how could I achieve it?

Suddenly that code in the following gives me some error
var langPath = root.LoaderInfo.parameters["xmlFilePath"]+root.LoaderInfo.parameters["lang"];
my_ssp.xmlFilePath = langPath;
var fileType = root.LoaderInfo.parameters["xmlFileType"];
my_ssp.xmlFileType = fileType;
Access of possibly undefined property LoaderInfo through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
The only code snippet works is
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (var param in paramObj) {
   if (param == "xmlFilePath") {
      my_ssp.xmlFilePath = paramObj[param];
   if (param == "xmlFileType") {
      my_ssp.xmlFileType = paramObj[param];

How to test and develop the HTML/Backbone custom content viewer on IPad?

Hi
I have been tasked with developing and amending the HTML/Backbone custom content viewer as nicely detailed and explained by Derek Lu here:
https://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/html-default-library.html#
I can see that by removing the reference to libs/AdobeLibraryAPI.js in Index.html i am able to "test" on the desktop.

and that data is bought in via the fulfilment XML feed and the parse method is called on Librarycollection.
I have made the changes to hook up the viewer to bring in some folios that we are developing.
However, although this provides the ability to test and develop on the desktop in one form since we are using JS and Backbone, there are various checks within the provided code to see if ADOBE.isAPIAvailable.
If it is, then the behaviour is different than on the desktop, so once the viewer is packaged up and put on the IPad there is disparity between what you were able to check and test on the desktop version against what is shown on the IPad.
The question therefore is... is there a quick way to develop and test on the Ipad ... it doesnt seem like a viable option to develop blindly on the desktop and then package up the content viewer within Adobe DPS to check how those changes behave on the IPad?
To re-iterate the viewer is to make use of backbone / js example to provide greater functionality and options for customisation.
Thanks in anticipation.
Dave

Thankyou for taking the time to respond and for providing such detailed articles on adobe dps development, it is much appreciated.
I had completely missed that article and was struggling to find anything useful from googling!

How would I create a layer ABOVE a custom cursor? [CS5 Pro]

...so the custom cursor would disappear behind the layer when moved across it.
Currently if the layer is simply put at the top of the layer list [above the mouse cursor layer] when published the mouse cursor supersedes it and appears above all layers... not behind any
Many many thanks for your help in advance oh Holy Whizzkids

First, try removing that first line and see if it helps.
Second, if it doesn't help, after that line do the same for whatever object you have in the layer you want to sit above the cursor... it'll need to be objects that you can target with code.
What addChild() does is it takes the object being targeted and places at the top of the display list. So that first line is essentially uprooting whytehand from the timeline and placing it above all other content planted in the timeline. So either you don't use it, or you also use it to place the other content above the cursor.

Loader and Stage-Size

I'm loading a .swf (flash game) (719 x 480) into a new .fla that is bigger (1280, 720) than the dimensions of the .swf
The game appears to load well, but when I start playing it, I realize that the game is messed up because it is actually running in the dimensions of the .fla
Can somebody tell me how to constrain the loaded .swf to 719 x 480?
NOTE: I can't change the .swf game file's coding
And the .fla stage-size has to stay the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!!

Theres no way to have a box/window inside my .fla that essentially makes the .swf work in it's own little stage? I just need something that will constrain/mask the images that keep coming out of the enlarged .swf game.
I need the targets to all stay inside that background, as it normally is when I play the .swf outside the .fla
