Interesting jquery plugin... why can't flash do this?

I thought it of amusing(?) mention to note to the community here that I am using the following in a flash project:
https://github.com/gokercebeci/droparea
(this plugin enables one to drag a file from their desktop to a division in the page, and have it both seamlessly upload, resize and be immediately viewable in the page rendition without browser refresh for co-operative browsers - in this case firefox and chrome and probably safari/webkit as well)
The idea is that I should be able to do the following:
- Make of flash.external.ExternalInterface to access a script that brings up a division's z-index above the flash SWF.
- In that division access functionality expressed with this jQuery plugin....
Pardon my sense of ironic humour as I refer to the AIR "only" classes and have this be an invitation/petition for Adobe to review access to specific methods in these classes.
What do you guys think?

Tested IE9 and Safari 5.05 : they don't work.
Chrome and Fox4 do.

Why can't Flash Video be as simple as QT?

After weeks of unsuccessfully trying to convert my
QuickTime/Windows Media-based video gallery to a working Flash
gallery, I finally gave up and returned to the
old-school-yet-tried-and-true QT/WMV.
But I'm still curious - QT & WMV are able to use a single
file (.mov or .wmv) while Flash requires the file AND a player
(Somehow my track record of getting the swf to play the flv was
sketchy). One of the perks of Flash, as I understood it, was that
the majority of browsers are able to play Flash movies. But it's
not quite as simple. Being required to upload the swf in order to
play the flv seems to be like imbedding a QT plug-in to play the
.mov. Why can't Flash Video be as simple as simply downloading the
flv just as playing a Quicktime Movie is as simple as downloading
the mov (as long as the user has the correct plug-in)?

HT1528 Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

Hi UI Guy,
I can't provide the technical reason, however, I'm farilry certain it is a function of Forum structure itself.
Don't know if you are interested in suggestions to meet your need to "bookmark pages within the Apple Support system so you can refer back to them easily", but I use them regularly, and do this one of two ways (I use both):
If it is strictly an Apple Support page that I retrieved from Apple, I bookmark it with clear easy to find names, and put them in my Apple Support Folder in my bookmarks (I use Firefox). That way, when I need to provide a link to someone I'm replying to, I can quickly find the item I want them to be able to link to.
I also bookmark discussions that have links in them that I may want to use, and tag them so I can find them later.
I have to say, however, that for Apple Support Pages, the best solution for me has been to have my Apple Folder with my personally named bookmarks in Firefox. Easy to find, easy to cut and paste into a discussion on a separate window, easy to reference when I need to know something.
Again, don't know if you even wanted to know any of that, but thought I'd share!
Cheers,
GB

I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.

Any ideas ?

I'm afraid that once an address has been associated with an Apple ID you can't re-use it in any way. You will have to create another address (such as a free on from GMail or Yahoo for example).

Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed and saved file name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
If that does not cure it backup up your iPhoto library and rebuild it - depress the option and command keys and launch iphoto and use the options there - exact option depends on teh version you have
And always remember - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - nothing - no deletions - no name changes - nothing

A Playlist idiot. Why can't I get this to work?

In iTunes I have music Playlists set to shuffle (blue double arrow button) and audio books Playlist set no shuffle. I have been unable to get my iPod to follow these settings. A suggested work around is to use the iPod Settings to set the shuffle function to "songs" when playing music and then switching to off for audio books. There has to be a better way. How do I set the Playlists on my iPod to function the same as it does on iTunes?

LeftyLucy,
Using your process are you able to set your iPod to shuffle then listen to the audio book without it shuffling the chapters? I have tried your suggestion with the iPod setting set to shuffle and the chapters shuffled. This is the issue from my original post. I want to listen to music with the shuffle function and listen to audio books (no shuffle) without having to change the settings every time I switch.
Keep in mind that is not a purchased audio nor a imported book.
Using a tip from the following post:
Tom Graves, "A Playlist idiot. Why can't I get this to work?" #11, 05:26pm Sep 28, 2005 CDT
I have attempted to make the audio book file into an authenticate file but that did not help.

Why Can't QuickTime Do This Anymore?

About a year ago, I used to be able to create muxed MPEG-2 TS (transport streams) using Compressor and open them using QuickTime. Of course I have the MPEG-2 plugin for QuickTime too. However, it seems QuickTime can no longer open MPEG-2 TS files. I can still create them using Compressor, but only MPEG Streamclip can open them, QuickTime cannot. I can't believe this shareware program can do something Apple can't. It MUST be a legal issue involving QuickTime. Does anyone know for sure? I have spent a lot of time looking for the answer to this. Why can't QuickTime play TS files?????

MPEG Streamclip is a better all around solution so instead of figuring out why Apple did something move on to a superior multipurpose and conveniently, free, application as you have found.

What is local storage? Why can't I get this app?

So I'm trying to get the sims free play app on my ipod4g. It requires 569MB. So I click download and it says I do not have enough local storage. Which I clear do cause I just deleted almost everything off my iPod. I have 1.0GB of free storage left. I don't get it??? Why can't I get the app???

You do NOT have enough space. Most apps require 2 or 3 thimes the space required in order to install the app.
You will need 1.2 - 1.8 gb or so free

Two Apple IDs Why can't you fix this?

Why can't you fix the problem for those of us who ended up with multiple Apple IDs and permit us to merge just once? I understand that IDs are tied to software updates but surely you chave the capability tod o this?

These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). It is not currently possible to merge, or transfer content between, iTunes accounts - if you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Why does Color flash like this when I edit footage?

I'm working with ProRes 422 footage and I keep getting this flash. Whether the footage is rendered or not, I keep seeing this.
Here's a video attached of what's going on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVF3e6Nh1w8
Any idea how can I get around this? Is this normal?
Thanks a lot guys. Happy to see people still talking about Color

It's not normal and is probably due to some peculiarity of your general computer setup and FCS creating some form of conflict.
All I can suggest is try the usual troubleshooting/spring cleaning steps such as Repair Disk Permissions with Disk Utility and trash preferences with http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
If these measures don't work you could create a new user account and run FCS from that.
I assume that apart from being disconcerting the flashing has no bad effect on the final video?

Why can't I delete this video file from my trash can?

I have a video file that I will not disappear from my trash can when I click the "empty track" button. I managed to move the folder containing the video file from documents to the trash after a lot of effort, but it kept telling me that I didn't have the privileges necessary to delete the video permanently. Now the video file is sitting inside a folder inside the trash can where I can't move anywhere else. If I try to move it anywhere else, it simply copys to that folder but stays inside the original stays in the trash can as well, but I can still delete the copy and the original stays sitting in the trash can. Can anyone help me so I can get rid of this file once and for all.

ho yeah .. i know that, but i tried even in a low quality and it's not worked.
Maybe it's related to the TimeQuick?

"While executing canInspectSelection" Why can't Adobe address this?

I downloaded some widgets from Adobe exchange, including some from YUI and PhatFusion. Since then I keep getting the "While executing canInspectSelection" error 11 times (I have eleven widgets in all, I guess) when I try to edit any library item, and on other occasions. I click OK 11 times and I can work on the page.
Using Dreamweaver CS4 on a G5 Mac, upgraded from CS3 (still on my hard drive), using Extension Manager CS4.
I see this asked about in the forums and on other sites, but I never see it dealt with by Adobe so we know how to get rid of those warnings.
Can't Adobe check this out and offer users some solutions? It must be a frequent problem for many Dreamweaver users. I am getting very frustrated about this...
Thanks,
Doug Dye

This is an extension code problem (from the mxp file), the message you are getting is Dreamweaver checking the inserted (or potentially inserted), item. It may also be a conflict of items (2 extensions doing the same thing) the only way to fix this is:
1. uninstall one of the conflicting items.
2. Contact the extension builder and see if they are aware of the conflict, (many are not, and rely on feedback).
Building an extension change when it became a CS product any many of the older extensions now conflict with the DW API, (the old Macromedia API was much easier to use).
The canInspectSelection() is a JavaScript function from the Dreamweaver API.
The only way Adobe can solve this problem is by only allowing a limited number of extensions (neither desirable or wanted).
