Is Flash the right platform for...

...network-oriented applications? The, perhaps, wrong
impression in my mind is that FlastLite can be used for
display-only applications. Can I, for example, use it to sent,
receieve, read SMS, store data, user-interaction?
Would appreciate a prompt response.
Best,

You can use...
status = FSCommand2( "GetDeviceID” “id” )
... to get the unique identifier of the mobile phone (for
example, serial number).
You need to check if this function is supported by the
device, 'status' will return -1 if it is not supported and 0 if it
is supported.
There are also other fsCommand2 functions to handle Device
and Player identification in the Flash Lite documentation.

Is AIR the right platform for photo management app?

I need to build a web-enabled photo management app with the following features:
server sign-in and authentication
photos fetched from server via REST API/XML
tag, rate (i.e. 1-5 stars), and edit properties for photos, with data updated on or sync-ed with server
all the RIA UI goodies, like multi-select, drag/drop, AJAX-style auto-complete, overlay icons on thumbs,
all the photo management goodies, like fast scrolling, histograms, resizeable thumbnail
able to handle 1000s of photos in 1 album (server is on a local LAN)
One key issue is how the platform loads an album with 1000s of photos in the background, and scrolls through pages of thumbnails. I tried before to build this in Java and all the threading issues were too much for me.
I have good experience with CakePHP & MySQL and some experience with Java, but I am resigned to learning a new platform/libs. I just need to know where to invest my learning time.
Can some experienced users pipe in on whether AIR the right platform for me to build on? Should I use Javascript etc, or learn Flex?
Is there anything out there I could just build on? I'm also considering building on Yahoo YUI or Google GWT as an alternative.
thx.
m.

Let me clarify the issue of 1000s of photo. I the app would need to load thumbnails for 1000s of photos, but only open the full size photo when the thumbnail is clicked. probably 120px max dimension, pre-rendered on the server. I have tried to open 1000 thumbs in a plain html page, and the photos come quickly - as if from the local file system - but it does seem to slow the UI until everything is loaded.
Is there a way for AIR to load the thumbnails is the current "view port" immediately, and the rest in the background? YUI has an imageLoader class that does something like this. Could I use this within AIR?
The other requirement is to manage a DB of tags ratings, and other attributes for the photos, but I can't imagine that is a big challenge. right?

Is Flash the Right Program For This?

I have an animation of a product that rotates, then some parts fade to show internal gears turning, then the whole thing rotates back to the starting position. I have that animation as individual frames, and .mp4 (and .avi). I need to add call-outs that appear at certain parts of the animation to explain what is happening with the product, and also to have the animation pause at those parts, while my client explains certain things. He then needs to be able to press a play button to start the animation again. This needs to happen several times during the presentation.
He will be presenting using a Macbook Air, and will not be leaving the presentation behind.
What Adobe product is the correct one to use?Is Flash the right solution?
I was originally planning on adding the call-outs in AE, but when he asked to add the pauses, and "Play" button I wasn't sure what was best anymore. The animation is rendered in HD, and the final output needs to be HD as well.

you could do that all with flash.
you might be able to do it with premiere, too but i'm not a premiere expert,

Is Flash the right program for this animation...?

Hi All,
Completely new to Flash, so thanks in advance for any advice.
I have to make a short animation from the point of view of travelling along a road, signs and words coming from the horizon line and passing by... also objects coming from far away and then moving 'through' them. It is graphic based - text and line art - rather than photorealist.
Is this the sort of thing I can do in Flash or is it a combo of something else and After Effects?
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
G.

Thanks - great news...
Having re-read my post, just to be clear the POV I mean is travelling 'into' the screen, rather than travelling across the screen [left to right for example]. I can do left to right in Powerpoint, but it is too tedious to use to give the illusion of travelling toward the horizon....
I want Flash to be the answer!
Thanks again...

Hello, is Flash the right programme for a simple interactive game with buttons and small animations?

Hello,
I could really use some advice with a new project I am undertaking,
I am looking to design a step-by-step game where users will be required to click on my artwork at each stage to get the next one. I would like different animated consequences to occur according to which button option is chosen at each stage. Eventually I would like for it to be a website that anybody can enter. I was wondering which programme would be ideal to use, I have access to Adobe Flash, Fireworks and Dreamweaver, but currently I only have a very basic grasp of them. This would be a long-term project I will be working on, so I am prepared to learn the appropriate programme, but if you could help me with which one that would be and any tips, I would be really grateful.
Thanks very much,
Hugo

WHat is the best platform for SAP EP ?

Experts
Can any one help to share some information about what is the best platform for portal ?
Windows or UNIX
I have personally seen most of the customers are using windows as thier OS for Portal. When it comes to R3 BW SRM CRM and other application,its UNIX.
Interms of Performance , Windows is not right choice . I am not sure about life cycle management for the Windows.
A big advantage of using Windows hosting is that.NET technologies: ASP. NET, VB.NET easily works on these Hosts. If, the website is built using these technologies then opting a Windows server is most suitable
Microsoft Sharepoint is yet another application, which needs exclusive, Windows hosting. The only option available for users using this application is Windows server
Appreciate your inputs

Is JavaFX the right solution for this scenario...

Hi,
Is JavaFX the right choice for the following implementation choice I have to make? (see below for the requirement)
Requirements:
1. Provide a way to visualise within a web application an entity relationship type diagram (i.e. nodes with relationships between them). The backend database will hold the topology relationship. So to visualise this on a web application will need the ability to draw rectangles/lines/text etc.
2. Provide a way to allow the use to trigger "add a new node", or "edit info in this node". For example a right hand context sensitive menu for example.
3. Ideally will scale as the user resizes the browser window
4. Would like the main functionality of the application to remain web based (is a Ruby on Rails application in fact), but have the visualization of the diagram render within the web application as transparently as possible.
Options / Issues:
* Issues I've struck with some investigation I've done is that whilst the <canvas> tag looks good for Mozilla/Firefox etc, it does not seem to have support on InternetExplorer. Hence cross-browser compatibility seems to be a real issue for the JavaScript type solutions from what I can see. This is why I thought JavaFX may be good?
* Options therefore seem to me to be:
- javascript (e.g. <canvas> tag) => cross-platform issue
- JavaFX / Applet => (this is what I'm asking about)
- Microsoft => costs $$ for development environment etc
- AIR / Flex / Flex => ??? costs $$ again I think
Regards
Greg

thanks - I'm still a little confused re their products and which would fit best so I've sent them some questions (below if you're interested)
Hello,
Could you please assist me in understanding which of your products would satisfy my needs. In fact (a) whether JGraph itself would and if not, or if it's not ideal, (b) which other product would.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Provide a way to visualise within a web application a connectivity type diagram (i.e. nodes with relationships between them, a network connectively type of diagram).
2. The server side (i.e. web application with database) will hold the topology relationship. HTTP type interfaces off the web application can be developed to provide the client side visualizing component with the topology data in the required format (assume this is XML)
3. As well as just visualizing in the browser there would need to be a way for user to trigger a context sensitive "add a new node", or "edit info in this node". For example a right hand context sensitive menu for example.
4. Ideally the diagram will scale as the user resizes the browser window
5. Would like the main functionality of the application to remain web based , but have the visualization of the diagram render within the web application as transparently as possible. The the visualizing component would just take topology data and intelligently display this.
6. DESIRABLE: Basic automated layout would be nice, or as a desirable (depending on cost) more sophisticated auto-mated layout.
QUESTIONS:
As well as your recommendation re which product would suite I had some specific questions which I would appreciate clarification on:
Q1 - I assume if I have a web backend that can deliver topology inforrmation in an appropriate XML format via a HTTP REST type GET call that this could be used as a the source of data for a jGraph visualisation running within an Applet?
Q2 - If running within an Applet, can jGraph cater for a right hand menu option off the nodes/links on the graph, that I could use to trigger other calls back to the backend? (e.g. to trigger an Add New Node call)
Q3 - Following on from Q2 scenario, if I trigger an add new node scenario, if I wanted to visualise the form to type in the attributes for the new node, could this be handled within the applet by jGraph, or would this be a case of just adding your own Swing based dialogs to handle this?
Q4 - Do the basic JGraph do any basic layout without having to go up to the layout Pro package (which I think costs if using it commercially).
Q5 - If the answer to Q4 is No, how difficult would it be using the base JGraph library to do a basic layout? Is this doable/recommended? i.e. how would one "layout" the diagram if using only the base JGraph component? (noting from my requirements I'm really after a component I could send my topology information to in XML form and have it just visualise it for me)
Q6 - Running the visualiation in an Applet in a browser, is the typical usage one where all changes to topology are made as calls to backend? i.e. or is there an approach where one would allow users to make changes to the topology within the applet and build up all the changes here on the client, and then at some point synch these back to the backend? (I'm assuming the keep it simple approach would be not to do this)
Q7 - Is there a sample application/project with source code that implements a JGraph in applet/browser talking to web backend for data?
Q8 - How does JGraphPro & mXGraph fit into the picture re solving my requirements in the most cost effective manner

Is JAAS the right choice for me?

I'm trying to get my head around what JAAS is and if its the right thing for me to be using for an application I'm writing. Let me describe the situation:
Its a client-server system. The client connects to the server and sends a username and password to authenticate itself. I want the server to check the username and password against the server's local accounts to check that the password is right.
Am I right in saying that JAAS will not do this and will in fact only validate the user that the server process is running as?
I there something better that I could be using?
On a slightly different note I would also like to be able to change the user that one of the threads of the server is running as. Is this possible with any pre-existing technology, or is it possible with a bit of JNI?
Mossop

Ok, maybe I should give JAAS a try then. Its a linux/unix system so I can just knock up some native code to implement a LoginModule that calls the standard PAM library
The point of changing the user that the thread is running at is to ensure that the thread cannot access any files on the server that that particular user should not have access to. Unless anyone can suggest a platform independant way of doing this, I can only think of 2 ways, both involving native code:
1. Have some native code that given a username and a filename will return what permissions the user has on the file. This would I imagine be quite a pain to write.
2. Have some native code that changes the user that the thread runs as. Then we can query files through the File interface, and what's more, bugs in the java code cannot accidentally access files that the user shouldnt be able to access.

Is Flash the right software?

Not a Flash developer, I'm wondering if it's the right
software for a project I have in mind. I want to create a database
of 1000 or so photos. The computer with the database would be
linked to several sensors that, if tripped by people walking past
them, would cause the display of the photos (on a monitor) to
change with the following variations: 1. slowing down or speeding
up the sequence, 2. jumping from one sequence to another, 3.
zooming in on a photo, 4. panning across a photo.
I'd also like sound to accompany the photos.
Is Flash the right tool?
Thanks.
Chris

Maybe. Sounds like fun.
Flash can do the things you have mentioned. Most of it not
too complicated.
The question comes in on the "linked to several sensors"
part. As far as I know Flash doesn't offer a lot of options beyond
the regular keyboard and mouse for input. We get a lot of "can
Flash read a serial port" type of questions on the boards and the
answers generally seem to be, "No."
If the sensors you are using can do the equivalent of making
the computer believe that the space bar of the "e" key (for
example) have been press then Bobs your uncle.

An absolute URL will be a complete URL, it traces from the abosulte root of a file's location on a server...
http://www.thesite.com/assets/images/Front_Page_Rotating_Banner/banners.xml
A relative URL is anything short of including the http://domain..., and is read relative to wherever the file using it exists
assets/images/Front_Page_Rotating_Banner/banners.xml
In Flash files though, relative links need to be specified relative to the HTML page that embeds the swf. So if the swf is in a different folder than the html page that embeds it, the swf's targeting must be adjusted as if it were actually in the html file's folder.

What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model?

All help much appreciated. THANK YOU

Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).

How can i find out which Macbook is the right one for me?

I am looking into buying anew laptop and I'm currently considering a macbook as oppose to a windows laptop. which one is the right one for me?
1. I will be using it for my work at college and university so it will need to have a reasonable amount of storage and have the correct programs.
2. I use the internet alot.
3. I have an ipod touch so i will need storage for my music.
4. It will need it to be quite quick.
5. It will need to support some software that i use on windows.
Also, do you think a macbook is what i need as oppose to windows. what are the pros and cons of the macbook

This is the most important question. I would check with your school. They may have a recommendation for what you need and the software you will need to use. They also may have a discount program for you to purchase your computer. If not Apple does have an education discount plan to give you a break.
5. it will need to support some software that I use on windows.
Hard to give an answer for this as we have no idea what your going to be using or what your school requires you to use. My sons college had specific programs he had to have.

Hi,
Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.
Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
Thank You
