Is anyone looking to integrate more (non-Flash Lite) devices into ADC?

Every device in ADC supports Flash Lite. But scores of
unrepresented devices support wallpapers or video. I'm sure
everyone who designs for the enormous mobile phone
wallpaper market would love to streamline the workflow from
Photoshop or Illustrator into the various supported wallpaper
formats. I'm sure the same goes for Premier users and the peculiar
format and frame rate concerns mobile presents.
Wallpaper and video dimensions (as well as file types... also
frame rates and audio codecs for video) are all over the map and
supporting the widest possible number of handsets is critical,
particularly for a wireless carrier like Verizon. Most
handset/carrier combinations throughout the world will allow you to
send a link to a 600x600 jpeg and everything works out fine. The
wireless carrier allows their customer to surf to pretty much any
link. The phone scales the image or video automatically. Nobody
gets hurt. But Verizon (and some others) are particularly nasty,
requiring an on-the-fly decision as to whether the phone supports
the content at all based on whether the user agent profile is on
your 'VIP list' of supported handsets.
Is anyone interested in making a more robust device directory
with handset data that is significant to wallpaper/ringtone/video
content producers? Is this already being done? Is there a cheap and
easy way to take the XML in
WURFL and turning it into
the format ADC reads (as outlined in Anant Parekh's excellent
article
here?
dotMobi is also
building a mobile phone
database. That would probably be an even more reliable source
for device capabilities than WURFL.
If anyone knows if the above is being pursued, is possible,
or sounds interesting, please feel free to contact me at
TOMatGIMMEMOBILE.COM. I'd love to hear some thoughts.

Ciao Tom,
I am one of the contributor for Flash Lite in WURFL. I
understand what you mean but I see it difficult to include all
those infos into ADC, or at least a major effort.
I agree with you that it would be a great addition to ADC
which will be used not only by FL developers but by mobile
developers in general.
Also I would like to invite you to join the Mobile and Device
User Group of Boston, www.flashmobilegroup.org
Ciao
Alessandro

  • Anyone able to mount more than 3 firewire devices on their Alum 2.4 imac?

    Hi.
    I can't power up more than 3 firewire devices or my imac kicks everything off. I have 2 Lacie 1T drives piggybacked on the 800 port and then a powered firewire hub plugged into the 400 port. I can have either another firewire external HD OR an external Cd/Dvd recorder plugged into the hub. If I try both (or any combination of 2 firewire devices) - the imac kicks everything off firewire, both on the 800 port and the 400 port. All my devices have their own external power supply. It also doesn't matter how I chain the drives. I can have 3 on the 800 port but then nothing on the 800 port.
    This is a bummer for me. I migrated from a Dual G5 2GB with 4 external HDs and an 2nd external DVD writer attached. My drives are 2 1Ts, a 800 GB and a 400 GB. I do a lot of photography and video editing so I really need the external space. I guess this imac really isn't a "Pro" model but I didn't need any more speed and I wanted to save space and money. And I love the 24" screen. I think Apple should say up-front if there are significant limits to the imac's Firewire capabilities.
    Are any of you you able to attach 4 firewire devices at one time? If so, then I guess my machine is defective and I'll start working with Apple on exchanging it. Please let me know.
    Thanks

    I think you should be able to do much more than 4 - I believe the theoretical maximum is somewhere at 20+ devices (if they are self-powered). I don't have a 24inch but instead a 20 inch but I'm running three HDs and one DVD drive and in fact, all daisy-chained onto one single firewire port on the Mac. Do your external drives have two ports or just one? In the former case, you might want to try skipping the hub and just daisy-chaining them. I've never owned a firewire hub so I don;t know if they can be touchy but you might want to give it a shot.

    Hello there,
    I am have a similar kind of problem. I am trying to run a video on Pocket PC (WM5) using video.play() method on FlashLite 2.1. It works fine in Device Central and my Nokia mobile (symbian OS with default FlashLite 2.1). Video is obviously embedded in FlashLite 2.1 and was originally in *.3gp format.
    Can you please help me where I am going wrong or what am I missing ?
    As ever,

  • Flash Lite Update??

    Anyone know if there's a flash lite update for the N95 yet/soon? I know that youtube etc wont work on the web browser but surely this is down to the flash player not being at the same standard as what is widely available on the net.
    If the flash lite player were to be updated perhaps youtube would work?

    no the version on the handset doesn't open up a lot of flash content on the web already - like youtube, certain banners/music players on myspace, etc...
    ...I wanted to know if there are any plans to upgrade flash lite to allow these functions to work.
    there is no information on the adobe website about this, and the most recent version on flash lite is already installed on the handset - plus it doesn't list n95 as a compatible handset on the adobe website.

  • Looking for a non-Flash mp3 player

    Can anyone recommend a non-flash mp3 player?  I've looked around on the web quite a bit but it seems the ones I'm finding all use flash.  I need one that will work on the iPad and iPhone for my websites.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I wonder why not show you how to use Quicktime.
    Because I would use the html5 audio, that way the browser chooses the 'player' to use, and I wanted to give the OP the choice -
    <audio controls preload="auto" autobuffer>
      <source src="elvis.mp3" />
      <source src="elvis.ogg" />
      <!-- now include flash fall back -->
    </audio>

  • Best way to insert non-flash photo album in Dreamweaver CS5.5

    Using Dreamweaver CS4, I created my wife's art website.  It is:  www.tanglewoodbrushstrokes.com
    To insert photo albums, I used Bridge and Fireworks.  Once past the initial learning curve, I was able to create these albums fairly easily.  However, these albums have two limitations that I would like to address.
    1.  Adding or deleting an image requires creating a new album and then posting it on the page.  Now that I have practice, it doesn't take me very long to do this but there must be a simpler way.  As you will see on my wife's site, she has many pages of photo albums.  Moving photos from her "Recent Creations" page means those images my be disbursed over three or four different albums.  So this can be very time consuming.
    2.  The albums created in this manner are flash galleries and are not visible on Iphones or Ipads.
    I recently purchased Dreamweaver CS5.5 so I could use HTML5 in order to make my site work on Iphones and Ipads as well as PC's.  I have nearly completed the tutorial and am about ready to create a new site.  Today I have done some searching for ways to use non-flash galleries and have not come up with a definitive answer.
    As you can see on my wife's website, the galleries are fairly simple.  All I really need is a page of thumbnails leading to a larger image with a description.  I want to keep it that way.
    Any suggestions?

    There is no one size fits all solution to this.  You're using DW to make a gallery and it's not really a gallery creation tool per se.  It's web authoring software.  So whichever gallery solution you choose it's going to come from someplace else.  And then you must integrate it into your HTML pages.
    Personally, I really like dynamic slideshows with jQuery.  Add some PHP code to your page.  Upload jQuery   scripts and optimized images to your server.  Done.
    To swap images later, add/delete files from image folder on server. Done.
    You can see a live demo of this below:
    http://alt-web.com/DynamicSlides/
    http://jalbum.net/
    If you want to generate a lot of different galleries quickly, look at JAlbum.  It's a commercial product that creates the thumbnail images & HTML pages for you.  There are lots of skins (styles) to choose from and you can further customize layouts with CSS.

  • Web Gallery in non-Flash format?

    Are there any extensions or anything to allow Bridge to Export a Web Gallery into a non-flash format? In my site I am trying to pay particular attention to accessibility and flash is inherently non-accessible, and also does not work with some of the most popular mobile devices (iPad, iPhone, iAnything). Essentially I am looking for some kind of HTML5 Web Gallery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'd try posting your question over in the Flash general forum. You could also try the Flash site design forum. The folks over there will probably be able to help you solve your issue

    wouldn't it make more sense that a flashtard is someone who
    just generally sucks at flash and asks idiotic questions?
    anyway, so i pretty much got the banner done - but i'm stuck
    on one problem. I made a motion clip of a heart, and i want the
    heart to fall from top to bottom, following a squiggly motion
    guide, and to rotate 1/4 turn on the way. I got it as far as
    following the motion guide, but when i try to select the instance
    in the first frame and rotate it, shouldn't the motion tween make
    it appear to slowly rotate, rather than stay put then rotate 1/4
    turn at the last frame? When I select the clip and play around with
    alpha and stuff, that works fine. What the heck?

  • When importing rendered clips from davinci into premiere they look darker and more contrasty.

    After importing the graded and rendered clips from davinci into premiere pro cc they look darker and more contrasty. I've checked the exported files from DaVinci and they look totally fine if you play them with any media player, but when I import them in Premiere Pro CC, they appear darker and way more contrasty than I've graded them in Resolve. Anyone have a solution for that?
    Thanks!
    Andrew

    This is a long-standing and complicated issue.  To start with, different media players interpret footage differently.  You can hope for the best, but there can be no expectation that footage in one player will look the same in another.  Ridiculous, but true.  The situation is further aggravated by different display cards and different monitors, and no prevailing standards of how color and levels are interpreted.
    In your specific case, you need to look at the waveforms, in Resolve and in PPro.  It sounds as if the blacks are being crushed in PPro, which could mean you're monitoring them at 64 in Resolve, but they're being output at 0 or remapped to 0 in PP.   This may also relate to whether you've monitoring with data or video levels in Resolve. 
    Is there a setting in PPro which covers how values are mapped, as data or video?  I think so, but just can't recall....  Anybody?  Staff?

    Looks like this issue is the same as the one tracked in:
    http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=57046
    Also, the thread http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=55897 discusses the topic "SJS8EA: how to add netbeans4.1 update center" ; users can add nb41 update center to jse and download and install the modules from netbeans update center. Users can also obtain the nbms directly from netbeans.org and other third party vendors and apply them to jse using "manually downloaded modules" option in autoupdate client. Of course, users should ensure that the downloaded modules are compatible with the version of nb a given jse version is based on.

  • I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router....any ideas?

    I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router, and used msconfig to bring up each service individually to see if there is an effect.Flash and iTunes have been re-installed  ...any ideas?

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/
