I don't understand how this Forum works

I have a question getting the proper version of Flash Player for my computer.  So I went to the Flash Player forum and typed my question into the question box. 
But all I received was a notice saying that no similar questions were found (or something to that effect).  In other words, it did not let me ask my question to the Adobe FP community--it just did a run of the keywords in previous posts.
I need to ask my question to the Adobe community and have just spent half hour going around in circles.  Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Because they want very few people to use their forums so that answering the questions becomes as easy as possible.
That has not been the impression left on me. Recently, Adobe initiated a special department, to better manage the forums, as Adobe realizes the service that they provide. Much has been done to simplify, and coordinate the tasks of using the forums, with some fairly major re-designs.
Have all those efforts been perfect? I rather doubt it, but the process is on-going, with many discussions on how to make the forum "experience," both easier and more satisfying to users - both those who post with problems and questions, and for those who answer the questions. Not every change has improved things for everyone, and I have had a few complaints on some. Still, the effort (and expense) is being put forth. Many are working very hard, and there have been improvements, with more to come. The forums will never be perfect for all users. That is just the way that it is. However, with a focus on "the greater good" of the "majority," then that might be, as good as it gets.

  • I really can't understand how this recursive works??

    Hi all,
    I have got a recursive function that checks for palendrome string. But it is confusing. I know that a string is palenromme if it is empty or has a char or first char and last one are same and middle is palindromme too.
    but can't understand how this function works.
    class Palindromme
         boolean palindrom(String s)
              if (s.length() <= 1 || s.equals(null) || s=="") //this is the stopping point
                   return true;
              else
              {                    //recursive definition
                   return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1));
    specially i don't know how palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1)); is working cause it has to be increased for each loop.
    abdul
    PS: actually i don't know how recursion works from Data structure point of view

    Hi,
    ok your palindrome is : "otto"
    return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1));
                  o                     o                                   tt
    so first part is true                                        
    in the second part palindrom is called again but with the remaining tt
    so second time :
    return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1));
                   t                     t                                 ""
    Third time:
    if (s.length() <= 1 || s.equals(null) || s=="") //this is the stopping point
    return true;after all for otto the recusion is:
    return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && s.charAt(1) == s.charAt(s.length()-2) ) && nothing left of otto);

  • I have, by mistake, caused all my photos in a large book I am making to revert to the original. This after a long time spent editing etc. I don't understand how iPhoto library works. I have aTime Machine. I also have an EHD backed up 2 days ago.

    Yosemite 10.10.3
    i am making a photo book with iPhoto, had already started it when Photos superseded iPhoto so I carried on. Have spent a lot of time on it, it's a large book.
    BY mistake I caused all the photos to revert to original.
    I have Time Machine and I backed up Photolibrary to EHD 2 days ago.
    BUt it I don't understand iPhotos library. If I replace existing library from Time Machine,  all my projects, albums etc. be there as they were before my BIG mistake?
    I have read that Time Machine is not suitable for back ups of iPhoto so should I try to use my EHD? In finder it just shows 'iPhotoLibrary'. So the same question arises - does the Library incorporate all my projects and the work I've done on them up to the date of back up?
    I would be so grateful for help and advice

    My 6 year old was playing on an app we have used for ages then last night i recieved numerous emails stating about $600 of in app purchases had been made! i dont know how this happened as my child does not know my apple i.d. password!

    You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they give you a refund or credit for some/all of it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchaes, Billing & Redemption.
    To stop it happening again you can turn off in-app purchases on your iPad via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases, and also in Restrictions change Require Password to 'Immediately' - the default is 15 minutes during which it doesn't need to be re-entered.

  • Don't understand how flash video works

    I hate to bother you guys here but I'm trying to convert a
    quicktime video to flash. When into flash professional, brought the
    video in just as the directions say, exported the video as a file,
    not as and html page or what ever.
    I get a flash file thats like 35K on my desk top and click it
    and it plays. This is a much much bigger video file. Does the flash
    file just link to the actual video file? Seems that that must be
    what needs to be done. I know that when I click on the file if I've
    mover the qt file to another folder - nothing happens.
    What is the best way to create the smallest size quicktime
    file that would work with this situation. The place holder is
    280x190 . I'm tired, but keep trying though. Any help or place for
    additional reading?

    You don't say which version of Flash you have, but here's a
    Good Practice page from Adobe for Flash 8, which gives guidelines
    on compressing video.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flash8_bestpractices_06.html
    In QT Pro, the Help articles will guide you through the
    various compression choices, for both Video and Audio. They open
    under Options when you choose a format for Export, probably AVI or
    other format Flash will be able to import. You may have to
    experiment with bit rate choices, to see how quality changes.
    I don't do video, but the other day I had a 4.5 MB MP3 sound
    track I couldn't safely compress further. I added it to my Flash
    movie, exported, and was startled to find it all played at high
    quality, totalling 400 kbs, less than half a MB. But I first set
    the option to streaming. So Flash itself will do some
    compressing.

  • I don't understand how udev rule work

    I had a problem with xsane only running as root a while ago and so copied a udev rule into /etc/udev/rules.d
    The scanner was then detected and added to the scanner group and I could use it. I've very recently had to do the same with a different scanner. But in both cases the same rule already existed in /lib/udev/rules.d/53-sane.rules
    Why was this not used in the first place? Is there something wrong with my udev that it would not look in /lib/udev/rules.d and find the correct rule... or are people supposed to copy them over from /lib/udev/rules.d to /etc/udev/rules.d ?!?

  • I don't understand how ADF Security  works

    In short I used ADF Security wizard to make a secured fusion webapp (Form authentification, XML id store, no grants). It made me the error,login and welcome page and I added one more (a page with a table). I granted that page view access to one role defined in jazn.xml. I noticed that at deploy the content of 'jazn.com' is merged into 'myrealm'. Everything goes well when I try a user defined in jazn.xml, but when I add a new user directly from the WLS console (same group as the others defined in jazn.com) I can login but I cannot access the page with the table because I'm not authorized. I think it's a role mapping issue but I'm quite not sure... I tried to look after the valid-users=users mapping but I haven't managed to find the users role into wls.
    How is the application getting the users and roles (groups) from the wls realm? Why I can log in but not authorize ?
    Thanks
    Kquizak

    Hi,
    at devlopment / testing time the way the user provisioning works is that existing users and groups of the same name are initially removed and then re-created. So in your case you have a user created in WLS that is added to a group that is re-newed by the develop-test cycle. This means that when running the application, you no longer have the user to be a member of the group. In a next version of JDeveloper 11 we probably make the user/group provisioning an option, in which case your settings will be preserved. Note that this problem doesn't exist if you deploy the app to a stand alone server, like in production

  • HOW DOES THIS FORUM WORK?

    I'd be interested to know how this forum works - are there any moderators who read the posts.  I posted earlier today regarding a problem I have on my printer - it hasn't even been viewed.
    Quite frankly I'm feeling extremely let down by HP recently.  I've always been an HP printer fan but I'm starting to wonder if it really is worth ALL my time and effort - Epson reviews next on th list!!!!

    Cook book techs.
    Follow a logic tree and hope that the questions asked were for the actual problem. The real problem is that words mean things and if we each have our own meaning.
    Freeze--- 5 minutes I see no change? 10 minutes? 2 days later the computer has not done anything?
    Hangs up - - no change in 5 minutes? no change in 10 minutes? no change in 30 seconds? 2 days later the screen is different it turned it's self off.
    hesitates - - no change in 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 2 tv shows later there is something different.
    I am a patient person. Hesitates no change 30 seconds; hangs 2 tv shows later; and freeze 2 days later. Some one else may react differently 2 seconds for hesitates, 30 seconds hangs, freezes 31 seconds.
    So the cook book teck may ask whats your problem give you 4 answers to choose from. And each of us may give different answers from our unique prospective. Me it was hangs up where the same problem may be a hesitation or a freeze to another. Of course then the teck decides to enter another answer cos she don't think you know what you are talking about....

  • Trying to understand how MIDI Clock works in Logic

    Hi,
    I'm syncing a Roland MC-909 Groove Box with Logic.  I'm also using a MOTU MIDI Express interface.  The MC-909 syncs to Logic, thus it is in Slave mode. Under Preferences->Sync->MIDI Sync Project Settings, I've discovered something odd, and I'm trying to understand it.  It could be just a lack of understanding regarding the MIDI Spec.
    Under MIDI Clock, I necessarily need to set the destination to the MC-909.  I cannot use 'All'  or else the MIDI Express starts playing back at 8x the tempo set in Logic.  Not sure why this happens but its probably something weird with the MOTO interface.  Anyway in Logic, MIDI Time Code (MTC) is disabled, Song Position Pointer (SPP) is disabled, and MMC is disabled.
    So basically I'm only sending MIDI Clock to the MC-909.  Here's what is wierd:  As I locate to different places in the Arrange window (not in play mode), the MC-909 is locating to the correct time offset within the pattern!  This basically guarantees that you can start the Logic song anywhere, and the MC-909 will start playing back the pattern at the right time.  I don't understand how this can be happening given that I've disabled SPP in Logic.  The only sync communication between Logic and the MC-909 is MIDI Clock, but I don't believe that MIDI Clock is even capable of transmitting offset information that specifies the time-offset into a drum machine pattern, Does it?  Or is Logic sending SPP info as I click on different locations in the Arrange window?
    Another point, is that if I select to transmit MIDI Clock to another device other than the MC-909, but still using the MOTU MIDI Express, then the MC-909 plays back synchronously (i.e. its getting MIDI Clock from Logic, even though Logic isn't sending MIDI Clock to the MIDI port connected to the MC-909), but it does not track the pattern offset described in the previous paragraph.  The only way I can get the pattern offset to work, is if I select the MIDI Clock to be sent to the MIDI port connected to the MC-909.
    I would like to figure this out because I'm thiinking about buying an external MIDI synchronizer, but I don't want to lose the ability to have logic specify the offset into the pattern on the MC-909
    Thanks,

    While it is possible you have a faulty unit I'd agree that the menu system took a step backwards with the itunes store centric take 2.0+ software. I think I'm in the minority here though. Apart from the 2.0+ top level interface being butt ugly and confusing to navigate, it simply isn't as responsive as 1.0/1.1 and I think most of this is to do with displaying a combined sync/stream menu. if you sync stuff try setting 'show only synced items' in the AppleTv device tabs in iTunes and see if it makes the issue go away - easy to revert back.
    Huge libraries (number of files not actual size of the files) can also be problematic given AppleTV's modest hardware specs but that's more exception than the rule.
    With streaming/syncing combined I also think any network deficiencies show up more than they used to.

    How much does this cost? & I still can't understand how this work

    Hello mkopti,
    ePrint is a free feature include on most of our wireless printers that are e-all-in-one enabled. It allows you to register your printer on HP's website http://www.eprintcenter.com and create an account. Once an account has been created you can enable the web services feature, after connecting to a valid network with internet access, which will print off a registration code you can use to add the printer to your account and customize an email address for the printer. This allows you to print to the printer from virtually anywhere simply by sending an email to the printers email address and when it is received it will print.
    Most of these printers are also Airprint enabled meaning you can print locally from the same network on the iPad, iPod, and iPhone (version 4.3.2 and higher) by using the built in "Print" command in the idevices.
    If you have any other questions or need clarification feel free to reply to this post and I will try to answer any questions you have.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
    Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

    OK and when I run desktop manager then what do I do?  There are no instructions after this setup with my mobile carrier, they just leave me hanging.  Also, is my phone going to be wiped or will it just update the OS?  I don't want to lose all my settings that took me hours to setup on this thing and have to redo everything all over again.  Backup?  I don't understand how to do that either (again all of this is new to me).  I don't have a second phone where I can call T-Mobile on the phone and have them walk me through it, I only have my cell that's it.  They refuse to give me instructions unless I'm on another phone when I call them, why they won't let me write them down is beyond me...these carriers are getting mighty picky these days on customer service/technical support.
