Is Flash the best tool to ....

I was just tasked with creating an online, interactive Getting Started tutorial for a software application.
It will basically walk you through the windows to perform a typical setup, with some branching off for special cases.
Essentially a main series of screen shots with text that you can scroll through using arrows, with links off to other screen shots or sequences as need.
My boss wants it to be "hip and flashy", so wants me to look into Flash.
But is that the best tool to use for this ? In all the Flash tutorials I have been watching I haven't seen anything that looks like that kind of application.
Is there another Adobe prodct that might be better ?
Thanks

Flash is well-suited for this task, and is capable of realizing whatever your boss considers to be hip and flashy.

The Best Tool For Multiple Animated Objects

Hi,
I am expirimenting with Flash Web Sites, and I would like suggestions as to a starting point for my project, and I am assuming a Flash website is where I would start.
Basically, If I were to open up a web page, I would like to see multiple animated objects. For example, if I were to simulate an Emergency Room, I would have an EKG displaying a heart rate, then perhaps see a breathing maching apparatus moving up and down, a Drip bag (sorry, don't know the real term), dripping into a patient's tube. And of course, if I were to roll over an object it would animate, and if clicked on more animation or on to another page.
I tried creating the animated objects in Fireworks, and I thought I could combine various Firworks files into one, but it didn't work (too many frames), either becasue I lack the knowlege of how to do this or simply it cannot be done that way in Fireworks. I had a background with one animated flashing object (that was easy), but combining multiple independent objects, I could not figure it out.
Someone suggested that I would have to use Action Scripts, which made me realize, I don't know the best way to accomplish my example above, and although I know I may be over my head, I would just like to get direction as to where I should begin.
Should it all be in Flash in the first place? To continue on with the example above, after a user clicks on the rollover image, a girney comes rolling in and we are giving choices on a monitor with what our next actions should be, which would take us into another page. (this is just to give you perpective of what I am trying to accomplish).
Should I create independent animated objects (files) in Fireworks, then somehow import them into their specified location in Flash.
I hope this makes sense and I am hoping someone is kind enough to provide a starting point.
Best.

Flash is the best tool for what you want and most of it can be done once you get a handle on the basics.
For you interactivity (rollOvers / triggering more animations with mouse) you will need some actionscript but don't get hung up on that now.
There is a world of info out there. Google "animation basics in flash) you may have to weed through some garbage but you will find what you are looking for somewhere.

I want to play AVCHD videos in ipad from my JVC camcorder.which is the best tool for converting the avchd videos to formats that ipad can play?

I have a JVC HD camcorder that creates videos in AVCHD format that ipad cannot play. Which is the best tool to convert these avchd videos to the format ipad can play?

Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

Hi All,
I need a few suggestions about the best tool for quality check in our ADF applicaiton.
ours is a small size WebCenter Portal application which neither uses any task flows nor consumes any portlets.

We have come across below option to implement the code quality tools.
1. Jdeveloper inbuilt Staus option in View tab
2. PMD extension for Jdeveloper
3. Red Samurai
Few more suggestions or best practices would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Usha

What is the best tool for making a "coupon" for my website?

What is the best tool or app for making a "coupon" for my website?

Not according to the people I have rented from because I asked them. They provided me with a suggestion I simply thought I would get another opinion.
I am not trying to get anything for free I just want more than 24 hours to finish watching a movie on my iPad. If iTunes would give more than 24 hours to finish a movie (like 48???) it would help. I have spend endless hours trying to comunicate with Apple about the issue. Guess what no one cares! I love Apple and my Apple products, I am a very good customer but I think they are over the top on this issue, they have a monopoly.
Maybe you have another suggestion??
This is the first time I have ever used a "Support Community" for ANY product, sorry I broke the rules. I have never taken anything for free from anywhere.

Is Business Manager the best tool for our company?

I have a number of quesitons to answer to figure out if Busienss Manager is the best tool for our company. The ONLY reason we are pursuing changing from individual accounts is that Share Screen has been removed from some of our accounts with the latest Skype update.
Can we port existing Skype account names to Business Manager?
Will Skype contacts be kept?
Is 'Share Screen' part of Business Man.?
Is it east to add and delete user accounts in Business Manager?
What are the admin issues?
Can more than one person be the administrator? Is it easily transfered?
The Business Manager literature refers to credit allocation, tracking and reporting as a benefit of Business manager. Credit is not a concern for our company as we seldom use Skype to call phones. What are the other benefits of Skype business Manager?
Thank you for your time and help.

Up until a few weeks ago I would certainly reccomend Skype, but my advice is for youy to look for another company.
Skype doesn't care about it's business customers, I and others have been trying to buy credits for week but the system is broken with no fix in sight, I was told it would be fixed by the end of the week, it hasn't been!!
Read for yourself then go look for another phone provider, Skype is not responsive to business customers!

What is the best tools for analyzer VoIP

I need ur help, i looking the tool helps analyzer VoIP in WAN/TDM. What is the best tool for Cisco System or wich recommends.
Thxs!

Hey turbot,
Thanks for contacting National Instruments support. Each set of the vis you mention are the latest, and some use similar methods to do the FFT than the other. The SMT is usually the best in most applications. There is also another option in the case of scope, you can fetch FFT data from the driver. The FFT is not actually implemented in hardware, but in the driver, and this is transparent to the user. It's simpler to use, but not as efficient as the SMT.
I hop this answers your questions. Let me know if I can be of further help.

What are the best tools for converting .shg files to HTML image maps?

After trying several different ways to import our WinHelp
project into RH HTML, I'm left with recreating the project in HTML.
There are over 200 .shg files. What's the best tool for converting
them? Is there a free program that converts them? Or is there a
better way?
Lacona

Yes, I have not been able to import the .hlp file, which was
my last posted question/issue. I have tried creating a Microsoft
HTML layout in RH4 Word; it begins to compile and, somewhere in the
process, just freezes. I've tried importing the .hlp file into RH
HTML; same result. I've tried creating a new HTML project with the
.hlp file; same result. If I could import the file, it'd be great.
Otherwise, I'll need to recreate the entire project, which brings
me to converting the .shg files. Any ideas?

The best tool for determining which website to visit - and not getting a virus.

www.mywot.com/
This browser add on is community serviced - and free. What it does is it has a database of user reviews of websites - to determine if people have had problems with the website (adware, virus's, false information, etc). If it is a RED rated site, you'll get a huge popup telling you so, and why. It also places rings next to website links with a green, yellow or red coloring - letting you know if it's safe to click.
This protects a lot of people who are uncertain, stumbling around on the internet. Ok, it also protects people who are more advanced that just plain arn't paying attention, LOL
Best Buy obviously does not endorse this tool, etc - this is just my personal opinion. But use it
I am a Bestbuy employee who volunteers on these boards on my own time. I am not paid for posting here, and you should understand that my opinions are exactly that - opinions. I do not represent Bestbuy in any way.

Great suggestion Red. I think you made it clear it wasn't fool proof and I doubt any of the av tools is going to anything above and beyond the info you are going to get from this kind of free tool.

Is Dreamweaver the best tool for creating a review site with user ratings/reviews? CMS?

Hello everyone,
I am really wanting to develop an online gaming review website and have some Dreamweaver/Wordpress/CMS questions i am hoping you can all help me with, thank you in advance for your patience as i am new to site development.
I am thinking of creating a review site which will involve me writing about 100 online gaming reviews, and then getting users to upload their comments/feedback, etc. Each of the reviews would be updated monthly with stats, performance, and other details. Each review would contain a text review, video review, and various images and screenshots. Integrating user-generated content will be a big factor.
I am trying to de-confuse myself with all the prep work around making sure i have the right tools and technology i need to be successful. Many people tell me i should use Wordpress due to the nature of my site, or at least a combination of Wordpress and Dreamweaver - not sure how that would work exactly. I dont want to be too dependant on just Wordpress because i want to be sure my site can be customized and i grow and enable more advanted value for my site visitors. ...i would love to have a members only area at some point in the near future.
Please see below for some questions running through my head:
1. Do i need a seperate CMS tool? ...and which may be best considering the nature of my site?
2. Should i use Wordpress instead? ...or a combination of Wordpress and Dreamweaver? - why should i use a combination of the two?
3. SEO is a major factor - does that make a difference?
4. My reviews will need to be updated monthly, so i will try to maximize the use of templates, etc. Do i need to create a dynamic site in Dreamweaver or will a CMS manage that?
5. Which options are best to avoid as much as manual coding as possible
Thank for you taking the time to read this, ...any tips/guideance would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Harps

Short answer: You don't need Dreamweaver. Simply install WordPress on your server and use it to build your site & add/edit content.

Is WebI the best tool for Excel file reporting?

For many years we use BO/DeskI to produce reports. The data source was DB2.
From time to time, the users find the production so user friendly the begin to use DeskI for reports with Excel files for input.
They create hundreads of reports with the 'Rich client' service.
Now we are upgrading to WebI and the Rich Client will be on the server. The BO Service server is a small machine, because of the licences we have.
We have bigs questions :
is WebI/Rich Client still a good solution for Reporting for external file like Excel?
Is this solution will create a ressource problem on the server when more then 100 peoples will connect and use the service?
Should we limite the external file for the rich client location on the server (we do not want to install any more software on client computers like with DeskI)?
Is a product like Crystal Report a better solution for office reporting (file like Excel, Access, text file, etc)?
In one word, is WebI the best solution for office reporting or we should go for a product like Crystal (server, ressources and licence limitation)?
Thanks

You should not compare Crystal Reports with Web Intelligence. If you were using DeskI then you should go with WebI because that means you are using ad-hoc reporting. WebI is the new DeskI. Crystal Reports is used for other purposes not for Ad-hoc reporting. You use Crystal for pixel perfect reports not for analysis.
For excel data sources, are you going to use Excel with universe design or directly in WebI?
If you are going to use it with Universe, then you will have some connection limitations. If more than one user tries to refresh the report based on excel universe, you will get an error.
On the other hand, if you will use the excel directly in WebI, you cannot refresh the report on InfoView (BIlaunch pad).
As you mentioned with not installing client tools then your choice will be the first one excel universes.
Hope this helps.

What are the best tools to test why Mac Pro is so slow?

Hi,
I have a 2 x 2.4 GHz quad core intel xeon with 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 RAM. 2 x 1 TB Western Digital disks (WDC WD1001FALS-41Y6A1 (boot disk- 50% disk free) and WDC WD1002FAEX-00Y9A0).
I am often surprised at how slow the machine works. Especially when coming out of sleep mode, where the machine could take minutes just to show the login prompt.
Yes, I do keep more than a few processes running all the time, but am I expecting too much? After all it's got some reasonable horsepower. When I check task manager its usually the Chrome renderers that are hogging up a core (or two) but there are still many cores left (at least according to istat menus).
Anyway, I'm wondering what are the right tools to diagnosing the situation and how to improve it.
I've started off with disk utility and everything seems fine.
Can someone please recommend my next steps?   Are there any freeware utilities?
thanks
