Is there an equivalent of CSS technology in flash?

Hi
At the very outset let me apologize if my question is not in the right group here. Just like how one can use different CSS files to view the same text rendered differently in HTML. I would like to find how to do the same with Flash. My goal is to create multiple flash document templates, without the content in them ( similar to CSS ) and i be able to load content dynamically into them thru external data files.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated?
Thank you

External text data needs to be displayed in some object. In Flash it is displayed in TextField instance. So, even if there is no text - you need placers for the text that is loaded (again, placers are TextField instances).
In addition, "automatically" means that you will have to load files with data at runtime.
CSS is designed to manipulate appearance - not content.
Here is documentation for TextField:

There are plenty of examples on teh web. It seems you would benefit from tutorials on Flash/ActionScript basics.

Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there and equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template?

There are two basic menus for fonts - one from the main menu bar and one from the toolbar. You can also bring up the font manage dialog.
I don't recommend trying to hard to force an otherwise foreign font, as it inevitably needs to be usable/supported on iOS as well, and that can get tricky w/3rd party fonts, as an example, even with the expanded font support in the latest iBA.
If you need to discuss fonts more, I suggest starting a new thread....preferably with a slightly more brief title, thanks.

HT4967 Mobile Me was so handy. I pushed the little sync button and everything updated. Is there any equivalent for I Cloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)

Is there a equivalent of "Data Validation" function in Numbers?

Hi, I think this question have been asked before in 2009. But there's no conclusive answer. I just imported a medium complexity xlsx sheet into Numbers, "data validation have been removed data retained" message appeared. Is there a equivalent function in Numbers? Or can we construct one? The reason this is important is when using the Macs we are ok and less likely to "fat finger" the data entry. However with a iPad and especially the iPhone, we are more likely to "fat finger" the data entry and therefore a scroll wheel or drop-down list function will help.
If anyone has a helpful answer that will be great!

"Data Validation" as such is not supported in Numbers.
Numbers '09 does support two means of restricting data choices to a pre-determined list of choices:
Pop-up menu is a cell format that provides a pop-up list of choices from which a value may be selected. Value not on the menu cannot be inserted (except by changing the cell's format, then entering the values manually).
Slider and Stepper are two more cell formats. Both provide a mechanism for inserting numeric values, with the minimum, maximum and increment values set in the cell format inspector.
The numeric values set by the Slider or Stepper can be used, in a separate cell, to lookup a text value from a table of possible values.
The Numbers for iOS feature set is a subset of the one available in Numbers '09. I don't know if Pop-up menus, Sliders or Steppers are supported in the iOS version,

Have just purchased Macbook Air is there an equivalent program to Excel

Have just purchased Macbook Air , is there an equivalent program to excel available already on the Macbook or do I need to download a program.

My two cents:
Numbers 3.0, which is either preloaded onto the Air or a quick free download from the Mac App Store, is a very powerful application that opens many (probably most) Excel spreadsheets brilliantly. (My work involves using Excel daily both on a PC and the Mac and I was surprised by that.)
For most things Numbers 3.0 is, in my opinion, a far more agreeable environment to work in than OpenOffice, which I've tried recently. (I haven't tried NeoOffice or LibreOffice). OpenOffice definitely has more features, though.
Numbers 3.0 is not a print-oriented application, so if you need to print out lots of documents you may find it lacking. It's more oriented toward collaboration via iCloud sharing and to syncing to iOS devices than it is to printing. It's also good at charting. Numbers is now very powerful on the iPad, convenient for showing work to others in an interactive way, and doing work while you're on the go that syncs back automatically to the Mac. The syncing, a problem with the old version, now works very well.
In the calculation department Numbers 3.0 lacks the equivalent of Excel's array functions and some advanced statistical functions. It also doesn't have the equivalent of VBA; no scripting. It doesn't have pivot tables, but there are good workarounds. It's got tons of functions, more than the old Numbers version, far more than most people actually use.
If you need 100% compatibility with Excel in order to work with others who have complicated formatting or printing needs or are doing sophisticated statistical analysis or working on huge long spreadsheets, then the only application that qualifies for that is Excel. It's a real workhorse on the Mac, an excellent program.

My sister gave me her 1st gen iPad to see if I could solve an issue. It won't turn on, and when it's plugged into a power cord there is a slow pulsing sort of flash that happens on the screen....any ideas?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! Now see if it charges normally and after a period try to turn it on again. If the batter has been drained it could take 20 minutes or so for it to show that it is charging.
Also considering if the battery need replacing!

Is there a way to protect a USB flash drive from virus?

My daughter's school computer lab is seemingly infected with some PC virus but their school IT folks seem to be unable to clean them and with all the young kids using USB flash drives they brought these viruses home when they plug the flash drive into our home computer but luckily since we are using Mac at home and I have ClamXav installed it detected the virus immediately. So we are kind of safe but I am getting tired of removing this same virus every week using UNIX command in a terminal mode, as it's locked and can only removed using the sudo command (taught by some people). My questions are:
1. Is there any way to protect a USB flash drive from virus infection (it's a window PC virus)
2. is there a way or suggestion on how to stop these apart from dis-infecting the whole school computers? The problems are that these young kids are not aware of those viruses in their USB flash drives and their teachers are just too ignorant about it!
Thanks for any suggestions and help

I'd still invest in your case into Mac protection against passing along malware.
Take a look at Intego AV for one for the Mac and for dual-protection.
http://www.intego.com
Whatever you are finding is 'dormant' I assume, but that doesn't mean it can't become active or passed along either. And there are some 'man in the middle' spyware and malware, some which target online home banking (some people run their home banking from a virtual OS that is used for that purpose only, I always wished Mac OS X could be run in a VM mode as well).
The IT folks sound like they need... do their jobs properly and better.
I don't care how young they are, or the staff's ignorance. Time for education is now.

I can't download Adobe flash player, and it keeps telling me to. Is there anything else to use besides Adobe flash player.

I can't download Adobe flash player, and it keeps telling me to, especially to watch videos, is there anything else to use besides Adobe flash player?

You would download Flash from here http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-FLASH however if your running an old version of Mac OS X say 10.5.8 or earlier then you cannot run the current version of Flash which is 11.3
Remember you not only have to download Flash but you have to run the installer.
Some websites that use Flash might tell your computer the site needs a specific minimum version of Flash and as above if your running too old a version of Mac OS X then you will not be able to run a new enough version of Flash.

IS there any way I can view Adobe Flash sites on my iphone?

Is there any way I can view Adobe Flash enabled sites using my iPhone?

Search the App Store. There are some browsers that process Flash at their servers, then sent it to the iPhone. They are generally slow and unreliable, though.

Hi,
I want to know if there is an equivalent statement
in java for this PL/SQL statement:
IF strTok IN('COM-1','COM-2','COM-3') Then

End If;
I tried using : // This is giving me errors..
if (strTok.equals(("COM-1") || ("COM-2") || ("COM-3") ) )
/* Do Something */
The above Java code is giving me errors.
Any Help to reduce the number of steps for comparison
is appreciated.
thanks in adv

Something like
if (strTok.equals("COM-1") ||
strTok.equals("COM-2") ||
strTok.equals("COM-3") )Justin
