How to make cross platform screensavers
I work on an Imac on os X. I need to make screensavers for
cross platform (win/mac) distribution. I have flash 8 pro. Is there
any viable solution cheaper than the $200 for "Iscreensaver" or
$300 for "screentime" softwares? Failing that, does anyone have a
preference between the two? do you know if they allow flash
interactivity or just animation?
thanks in advance

Unfortunately there is no choices for you when comes to MAC.
Windows has over
30 really good screensaver tools, some of which very capable
and totally free.
Myself do not use Mac but friends who do, use the
"screentime" as preferred tool.
Check the features, see what you need and which tools deliver
what you looking
for than pick the winner :)

[AS] How to make cross reference at insertion point
Hi,
I have a book ("indb") including several documents with several "anchors"
(german translation: "Textanker") where cross references from different documents are linked to.
What I already got is to reference all anchors and collect them in a list.
Now I would like to make a new cross reference at the insertion point
in a text frame of the active document - can't get it to run :-(
Is anybody out there who can post a AS-sample doing this?
Thanks in advance!
Here is the reference to an already existing anchor:
{hyperlink text destination id 44155 of document "kapitel 2.indd" of application "Adobe InDesign CS4"}
The code I tried to make a new cross reference looks like this - but of course doesn't work:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
tell active document
make new hyperlink with properties {name:"new hyperlink", destination:hyperlink text destination id 44155 of document "kapitel 2.indd"}
end tell
end tellThanks a lot - got it now!
Maybe it could be helpful for others to look at your answer
with the placeholders replaced by "real" strings as it was hard for me
to figure out the right form:
tell document 1
set theDest to make hyperlink text destination with properties {name:"Some name", destination text:<a reference to the relevant text>}
this line for example looks like this =>
set theDest to make hyperlink text destination with properties {name:"Some name", destination text:insertion point 902 of story id 44083 of document "kapitel 3.indd" of application "Adobe InDesign CS4"}
set theSource to make cross reference source with properties {name:"Some name",source text:< reference to the relevant text>}
this line for example looks like this =>
set theSource to make cross reference source with properties {name:"Some name", source text:cursorPosition, applied format:cross reference format id 44305 of document "kapitel 1.indd" of application "Adobe InDesign CS4"}
where "cursorPosition" was defined before by
set cursorPosition to object reference of selection
(the cross reference source needs the applied format reference too)
make hyperlink with properties {source:theSource, destination:theDest, visible:true, highlight:invert, width:thick, border color:dark green, border style:dashed, name:"Whatever" }
this line for example looks like this =>
make hyperlink with properties {source:theSource, destination:hyperlink text destination id 44184 of document "kapitel 3.indd" of application "Adobe InDesign CS4", border color:black, highlight:none, border style:solid, hidden:false, visible:true, width:thin}

Cross-compatibility between FCP7 & AE CS4 on Win7-64 - how to make it work?
I'm currently capturing from an Intensity Pro on a mac OS X 10.5.8 thru HDMI so my source is very high quality.
I've been capturing to ProRes 422 HQ.
I'd like to edit in FCP7, then output clips that would be used with AE CS4 on Win7-64.
Also on the PC, I'd like to be able to use SynthEyes to view the clips to get motion tracking data.
I want to them be able to move my output from AE CS4 on Win7-64 back to the Mac for final editing.
The roadblock seems to be the lack of ProRes 422 HQ on win7-64 (unless I'm missing something).
I'm open to using another Codec (like Cineform?).
If I have to, I'll capture in Premiere (and maybe look at an Mx02 Mini while I'm at it) but I'd prefer to do my final editing in FCP7 - so I'll need a way to get the clips over to the Mac without degrading them.
Any ideas on how to make this workflow work?my only issue is how to get the resulting files back to FCP so that, when I mix them in with other ProRes files, I won't have some massive re-rendering headache.
Exactly. And the Windows machine cannot encode ProRes.
I've asked the CineForm folks if they can output a ProRes container (packaged with their codec inside) - and maybe this will work?
No...they don't do ProREs. That is an Apple codec. They do CINEFORM codec. If you convert everything to Cineform, and encode to that format on both, then you have no rendering. But I'm sure you'll need to get two licenses...one on each machine.
What codec could you use on both machines that is comparable to ProRes? Well...Cineform. Sheer by Bitjazz. Not sure if the UNCOMPRESSED codecs are cross platform, meaning that the PC can render to this. I have always exported an Animation codec to the FX guys. They do their stuff, send back Animation, then I convert to the format I am working with. Yeah, that is a lot of converting. Which is why it might be wise to use one codec both machines can read/encode.

How can I get C3PO's working in the Cross Platform Client
Hi!
I need to know if it is possible to use C3PO's in the GroupWise 7 Cross
Platform Client?
If not, is there some method documented to achieve the same functionality?
Thanks,
ChrisIt's even mentioned in the API reference, section "LrView text properties":
height_in_lines : (Read-Only)
Calculates the minimum height using this as the number of lines
that should fit. If height_in_lines is set to -1, and width or
width_in_digits or width_in_chars is specified, text wraps.

External Hard Drive won't appear on PC (want cross platform)
I have an external USB Hard Drive. I formatted it using the Disk Utility, OS Format and Journaling. Did a small partition in case I needed a system boot drive. Now my sis needed to backup her laptop (Dell laptop), but the drive won't appear in My Computer, it recognizes there is a USB device on the lower task bar, but no drive anywhere.
Do I have to reformat? what steps do I need to make this USB drive cross-platform friendly?
PaulHi, Paul.
You may not want to reformat the drive as FAT-32 since there is a limit on the size of the partition, the maximum file size, and other issues, especially if her Dell's drive is formatted as NTFS (FAT-32 does not support NTFS extended attributes). FAT-32 is unsuitable for backing-up Mac OS X volumes as it cannot preserve the extended attributes (permissions, etc.) employed by Mac OS X.
It's really best if you each have your own external hard drive for backup, as part of implementing a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution, such as I use and detail in my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ. You also don't want one person inadvertently writing over another person's backups, which could happen if one is not careful. Furthermore, it is often easiest for recovery.
How one handles backup in cross-platform environments is tricky and depends on the native formats employed by the different computers involved, and whether backup will be performed over a network or by directly connecting backup drives to the computers one is backing up.
To enable her Dell to use the Mac-formatted drive, install Mediafour's MacDrive for Windows on the PC. MacDrive for Windows is probably the state-of-the-art application for enabling you to use Mac-formatted disks and hard drives on Windows-based PCs.
Good luck!

I am using Illustrator to design a PDF. Because it's in Spanish, accent marks and other special characters are needed (á, ñ).
When I export the PDF from the ai file and view it on my mac it looks fine. However, when I open it on a pc some of the special characters are completely missing.
I tried Creating Outlines with the text, although it will make it harder to update in the future and so less preferable to leaving the text editable. Creating Outlines works fine on the mac, however on the pc the L's appear thicker than they actually are.
Does anyone know how to make special characters legible cross-platform when creating a PDF using Illustrator?
Thanks!!Does anyone know how to make special characters legible cross-platform when creating a PDF using Illustrator?
Yes. You use a correct OpenType font that has the glyphs in the place where they belong and can be embedded without limitations. Older TrueType or PostScript fonts are simply unsuitable as are fonts that cannot be emebdded and require to be installed locally. It all comes down to system language settings vs. the unified environment inside acrobat. This also requires any PDF to be created on systems with the language settings correct in the first place, i.e. creating Spanish text with a Japanese version of AI would be pretty desastrous due to how foreign language fonts are accessed... check these things and then try again. If possible, enforce embedding of the full font in the PDF settings, not just a subset and choose a suitable font.

How to make agency-level HTML banner ads
I've done a ton of Flash banner ads at agency-level over the years, but I'm trying to figure out how to create html banners now, in addition.
Here are the HTML Ad Spec requirements:
- HTML code cannot exceed 3k
- 2 images maximum, total file size of images cannot exceed 20k
In Flash, I've used these extensions to publish and am finding it's difficult to meet the required specs by the ad hosts:
1. CreateJS (creates a small html file (3k or less), but requires to be linked to js files which are double what my swf would be)
2. Swiffy (puts out just one nice simple html file, but it's almost triple the size of my swf, coming in at 86kb)
I've also used:
Edge Animate (creates a html file, but also links to js files that are over double what my swf would be).
Either my animations have to become way less complex or I'm missing something in this new world of html animated ads. It seems there's little findable information on how to make html banners at the agency-level.
Can anyone educate me or point me in the right direction?The easy answer is those libraries are full of functionality "you might use". Those libraries are not built like libs such as Modernizr where you can select the exact functionality you need to reduce the library size.
You're left with two options from there, neither are really ideal.
1) You can hand code the JavaScript you require. Libraries help by providing extensive functionality beyond your absolute needs as well as cross-platform tweaks so your results are expectedly similar in all browsers. By writing your own code (plus required tweaks) you can drastically reduce the JavaScript size (amongst minification and gzip). That puts all the hard work on you which may not even be possible or feasible in your projects timeline.
2) You can rely on newer HTML5 elements like Canvas, CSS3 and code from option #1. There are many effects in your example (directional blur, rotation, etc) that aren't easy to pull off but with the help of something like Canvas you can at least reduce the amount of JavaScript required. Think of it like a BitmapData object you can update at high speed that's mobile friendly. That aside, not all desktops users are guaranteed to support it and here comes the fallback bloated code.
Your ads compatibility requirements will guide you on either path. I'd probably opt to look forward with basic fallback (to a static image) and go route #2 with Canvas. If so, here's one of many tutorials/blogs that can get you started:

Template Cross-Platform - Version Differences
I created a template in Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac and sent it to
a programmer using Dreamweaver MX on WIndows and the formatting for
him is messed up. Divs aren't lining up where I put them. He sent a
screen shot of his directory (which matches mine) and of the
template within DW MX and the divs are out of place.
Is this issue based on OS cross-platform, DW 8 to MX and
differences in how those versions handle MX or some other issue?
Thanks,
BrianHTML is HTML, you know? It wouldn't make any difference if
you were
creating on a Mac, a PC, or a Linux box.
But - DMX is a dumb bunny when it comes to any advanced
layout methods. I
imagine the problem you are seeing is due to DMX's inability
to render CSS
layouts properly. Is your colleague using DMX6.0 or 6.1? If
the former,
they should at the least update to the latter immediately,
although that may
not fix the problems either.

Recommended way to unit test mobile cross platform C++ in Visual Studio 2015
Hello,
I'm playing with the new Visual Studio 2015 to check its capabilities for cross platform development using C++ as coding language. I've seen several videos in Channel9 about this feature but I don't remember hearing in any of these a word about how
to unit test such projects from Visual Studio 2015. Is there some recommended way to create unit tests for such projects?
I'm not sure I can use Visual Studio test projects for C++ to test the android library or the Windows Phone 8.1. If I add a new platform ARM to a test project of those, I cannot select in the platform toolset combo the values that I have for my libraries
(Clang 3.4 and Windows 8.1 respectively). So it seems that such test projects are not addressed for cross platform c++ in VS2015.
I also have tried to make a second cross platform library project to contain the tests, adding there the Catch.h file from catch framework or adding the files from Google Test framework. My idea was to link each cross platform test library with their corresponding
"production code" libraries. In both cases (catch and gtest) I have problems when trying to compile the test framework files (not sure if it is not possible or just my fault being new at C++ for mobile platforms).
Has anyone succeeded unit testing the cross platform c++ code in VS2015? How?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge.Hi Jorge,
Thanks you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, since VS2015 Preview is previews for the next major release of Visual Studio, currently we forums don’t provide support for VS2015 Preview. So the product team would accept the suggestions or feedbacks for the VS2015 now.
So you can submit the feedback/suggestions to Microsoft Connect feedback portal:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/CreateFeedback.aspx, Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously. Thanks for your understanding.
After you submit the feedback, you can post the link here which will be beneficial for other members with the similar issue. And I will help you to vote it.
Thank you for your understanding.
