I've started updating Flare for use with Flex/Spark

Hi,
Flare is a pretty cool actionscript library which allows you to make some pretty great interactive visualisations (or visualizations if you're American) of data. A couple of problems with it though:
It has pretty awful documentation. There's a tutorial that gets too in depth, too quickly and doesn't outline how to get up and running quickly at all, or what form of data is expected. &
It doesn't play all that well with the Spark architecture, making you 'hand draw' things on the nodes of a chart rather than just applying skins.
I'm trying to rectify this by:
Writing a quick start guide to getting up and running with Flare quickly. &
Starting to recode the library to be Flex friendly.
The quickstart guide should get anyone up and running with Flare using the downloadable version there is from them.
The second post has a partially recoded version of Flare to be friendly with Flex. I've worked on it more since then, and will continue to post updates as I get more and more working and cleaned up.
I hope this will be helpful, as Flare has some pretty cool things going for it (and some baffling choices also!).

Yes,you will lose all the music files when updating the firmware. What firmware is on the device now? You will need to do the update on XP SP2 with Windows Media Player 0 & no WMP components.

Hello,I've just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium. It is recognising my player but is requesting I download drivers and the installation cd does not work. I have been searching for a solution to this and believe there is a way of updating my player using a computer with XP.Could someone please tell me how to do this?Will I lose all stored music if I do update the firmware?
Thank you!

  • Problem-Starting InDesign Server for use with CORBA / Java and IOR file not generated

    I'm trying to start Indesign Server cs3 for use with Corba, as per the document the server should generate the start-up message like this..
    InDesignServer -iorfile c:\ior.txt -pluginpath Server\Corba
    [server] Writing IOR to ... and it should generate the IOR file
    but I'm getting the usual start-up message and the IOR file is not generated, I hope IOR file is required for Java component interaction with IDS, kindly help me to solve this.
    Thanks in advance.

    [From Susan Doan, who is having trouble posting to the forum today}:
    It looks like the example command line in the "Intro to InDesign Server" pdf is using curly quotes instead of straight quotes. If you copy the command from the pdf and paste it in your command shell, it won't work because of the curly quotes.
    You can run the command without the quotes as Rich has said, but, as will all command lines, if your path contains a space, you will need to put quotes (straight ones!) around the path.
    Thanks,
    Ole

    Is that because you also ask the same question to Logitech and that was their response, since you're using a 3rd party software

  • Updating BootCamp for use with Magic Trackpad

    I am getting an error message when I try to update from BootCamp 3.0 to 3.1 which I need to be able to run the Magic TrackPad. I am running WinXP and have tried to run the BC3.1 32 bit update but get a message that the "Apple Bootcamp Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have tried downloading and running the update as well as running it off the Support site. The Trackpad works but I can't right click and have no gestures.

    Note I do not own magic jack but it looks like a standard ATA voip adapter.
    How is the TC setup in the network? ie is it bridged or main router.. Is there another router?
    Being a non-apple product you will do better sticking with SMB compliant network names.. ie short no special characters no spaces.. Apple by default break these rules.
    Also you may have port forwarding issues.. apple do not use upnp most windows and non-apple products will expect and so you might have to open the required ports not just for sip but the actual call RDP packets.
    Even if you do open ports apple routers often break port forwarding. You might find it is easier to use a modem router or alternative standard router and bridge the TC.
    Look at posts that deal with issues which will be common with airport extreme.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3662236?start=0&tstart=0
    I would say it is not working because you have not forwarded the required ports.. or it just doesn't like Apple routers.. plugged into the Mac, the networking is handled by the Mac.. and is able to auto open ports.. non-apple products cannot generally do that.

  • Looking for a starter keyboard recommendation for use with Garageband

    I've got a new iMac running Lion.  I'm looking for a keyboard that will work with Garageband that I can buy for as little as possible but will work and be decent.  Looking at the Apple Store, I see three that could fit in my price range, the M-Audio Keystation Mini 32, the M-Audio Key Studio 49 USB-Midi, and the Akai Professional LPK25 Laptop. I'd appreciate any feedback about these. 

    Good, good, and good!
    M-Audio in particular makes great "bang for the buck" controllers.
    If you spend more, you get a better physical keyboard, which can be more satisfying to play. But for budget models, hard to beat those, particularly the m-audio.
    good site to check gear out:

    No disrespect to you personally but we have no way of knowing what you might consider obvious. As often as not, when someone neglects to mention what they have already tried to solve a problem in an initial post, it turns out that they have overlooked trying something many of us would consider obvious, so experience has taught us to start there.
    Beyond that, a lot of users are apparently just too lazy or lack the skill to look for answers on their own, not even bothering to search these forums for existing discussions relevant to their issue before firing off a terse post much like yours (lots of extra punctuation & some all caps shouting for emphasis but little info). That sort of thing strongly suggests that they haven't tried the obvious, whether it is true or not.
    As it turns out, if you search this forum for "eSATA driver" you will find some very relevant topics in the top results, so you might want to check them out now.

  • Aihostadapter for illustrator cc 2014 (for use with flex)

    Flex extensions are still working in Illustrator CC 2014, so before we jump to new CEP panels - is there a way to get aihostadapter working for CC 2014? currently it's not working, i.e. I can't capture ART_SELECTION_CHANGED event.

    You can download the working copy of the AIHostAdapter plugin for CC2014 from the following URL
    https://github.com/timothybrandspencer/CEP-Resources/tree/master/host_adapters/illustrator
    A sample on how to capture events like ART_SELECTION_CHANGED in CEP extensions can be downloaded from the following URL

    Have verified it working on CC2014 64 bit version of WIN and MAC.

  • Doesn't play songs, "itunes is not configured for use with mac-formatted"??

    Hi, new ipod shuffle. Seems to charge fine, all indicator lights function as expected. Everything looks fine in itunes. But it doesn't play songs. I have the most recent versions of itunes and the ipod software. Re-set, updated, and restored, nothing works. Even restored using the restore utility. Re-started computer. Checked for volume control. Won't play songs. Tried different file types. Songs play fine from itunes library and from the device's library within itunes. Tried different headphones. Hooked it up to computer speakers. Turning volume all the way up on device and speakers, heard some very faint rhythmic static, so my guess is the jack socket (or whatever you call it) is just messed up, but it seems weird that it can transfer power and data to the device but doesn't work for sound...
    The only other issues that have come up is that the drive disappears in explorer once it syncs with itunes. Other people who've noticed this seem to have completely different problems so I don't think it's related.
    Also, I have MacDrive on my computer. And when it starts up with the ipod plugged in, MacDrive offers the message "Itunes is not configured for use with Mac-formatted ipods." It offers to automatically reconfigure itunes so it can read mac-formatted ipods. Since I've restored the device, I don't see why formatting should be an issue so I say "no."
    Should I try letting macdrive do its format thing? Should I try formatting the ipod disk on the My Computer menu? Or should I just email apple and tell them the jack's busted?
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Well, I have had my iPod for about 3 years, it is a 4th generation non-video 40 GB. One day it just stopped working, and now it does not play any songs. when I turn it on it makes this odd whirring sounds that computers make when they try really hard to do something. I cannot charge it, and it is not recognized by iTunes. Also when I turn it on, I get the apple.com/ipod/support (or whatever it is) screen. Needless to say, my warranty is expired, and so I cannot do anything for it except get a new battery, or buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this problem, or anyone out there who is experiencing the same thing?
    I'm having the exact same problem with my wife's iPod. However it will play about 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next song.
    If there is anyone out there that can help please do!

  • Does an upgrade to ilife 11 contain idvd for use with mountain lion (10.8.5)?

    Does an upgrade to ilife 11 contain iDVD for use with mountain lion (10.8.5)?  I received an advertisement about upgrading to iLife 11 and it discusses sharing via iDVD, which was disabled when I upgraded to Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5.  Would purchasing the iLife 11 download restore the functionality of iDVD, or is this just another way to get the sheep to upgrade iMovie with no way to export to iDVD or equivalent.  Why is there no Apple warning that Mountain Lion disables and does not support iDVD?  I used to think Microsoft was a trickster, but I'm of the opinion that Apple meets or exceeds their slippery machinations.  Am I just stuck with purchasing a 3rd party software to replace iDVD?

    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Min max lot size time based for use with SNP and PPDS

    Hi all, Is there anyway to set up time based min and max lot sizes? ie we want to have a Max lot size which is small for use with the first 3 months of our plan which starts life in SNP and then converts to PPDS and into blocks for block planning, but months 4 to 36 we want to leave as large max lot sizes as there is no need to have the small max lot sizes for the different horizon.
    As far as I can see there is only a material/plant lot size  and Max lot size and no way to have a different setting in a different time period.
    Thanks
    j

    Hi John,
    As you know, in the product master, the lot size maintenance is time-independent, so that obviously can not be used for your scenario. As per my understanding, to meet this using standard functionality, you can maintain multiple product specific t-lanes (for STRs) and PDSs (planned orders) with required lot size ranges and validity dates (for short or long term horizon). But, again since the validity of t-lanes and PDSs will not be automatically rolling forward so the updating the validities will be a challenge.
    The other option could be to enhance the heuristic functionality at lot size selection step while creating order.
    Regards,
    Umesh

  • Unlocked old iPhone 3GS for use with pay as you go sim in the UK on vacation. O2 sim works while ph plugged in.  Unplugged, works short time and crashes.  Sometimes won't even re-boot.  Software on phone up to date as far as 3GS goes.

    I brought an old IPhone 3GS to the UK on vacation for use with sim card.  I had the phone unlocked with approval and instructions from ATT.  Store in the UK recommended O2 pay as you go sim which works as long as the phone remains plugged into the wall.  Once unplugged, it will work for a short time and then always crashes.  Sometimes it will re-boot and crash again and sometimes it will not re-boot at all.  One store told me to sync with itunes which I did on my Mac Book.  I don't know if the sim is defective or if the software of the 3GS is just not compatible with the sim when on the battery.  I have updated the software on the phone as far as it will go.  Any suggestions?  Maybe the phone is too old to use with the latest pay as you go sim cards.  I am disappointed that this phone has not been reliable as a pay as you go and I have had to purchase a UK phone here in order to have a reliable phone.

    There is nothing you can do. You bought an illegally unlocked phone off Ebay. A lot of sellers there will tell you it is unlocked but the first time you try to update the operating system it will put the lock back on to the carrier the phone was originally locked to. Sorry but unless the carrier it was locked to will unlock the phone I am afraid you have a very expensive paper weight now. You should have bought it from a reputable dealer instead of ebay.
