Is this possible with flash?
I have a client that needs a CDrom with data update
capabilities.
I've never have done something similar, but I thought some
like this could
(or not!) be done:
> The application would create a folder on the user's PC
(wich could be
> assigned by him, or into a default location)
> Would check a URL for updates, and download them into
the previously
> created folder
> the it would read the contents from that updated folder
Is this possible? One one the many problems would be to have
the flash app
remembering the 'Updates Folder' path.
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Jorge Olino
hi,
this is possible only with a help of third party application
like mdm zinc or flashjester or mprojector. flash itself doesnot
has this capability as it is made for web mainly.

Hi - Re Keynote I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album (as an artist) on USB flash drive, (accessible by both Mac and PC). What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, and play in order (like a cd) - also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. This should all be on the one page.
Is this possible with Keynote, or any other software package for Mac (am using Macbook Pro) ?
Gav 88Hi there,
Yikes, it sounds like you've been doing a lot of work on this project... Unfortunately, however, this isn't the Adobe Encore forum, but the Acrobat.com forum. While it seems like an exciting question, we're not able to address issues pertaining to other Adobe products and services. Here's a link to the Adobe Encore forum, where you're more likely to get help for this specific issue:

How about this idea with flash catalyst? Can it happen in next version or before the release?
Hi friends,
Let me come straight to my interest!
I create a datalist control asset using photoshop. Bring this into Flash catalyst by importing the artworks. Then selecting respesctive artwork and making it as an horizontal list control with custom way for sliding between thumbnails with some description text.
Till now it is 100% possible with flash catalyst beta 1.
Can flash catalyst team further tweak this ui design tool to go ahead and select the data template and add custom interaction where, we can go ahead and give the path in such a way it makes a 180 degree carousel in seconds without any coding. I just need to go into the template and draw/move the positions for 5 thumbnails which sits within the width area of the datatemplate, then all the thumbnails follow the path.
This might be two much, but next wish is to, create states within the data template for loading the thumbnails into list control with custom animations, loading the thumbnail when some search is changed , i mean on layout updated on the datalist.
So in short , my wish is second level tweaking of layout needs to be done within data driven controls.
Please come with comments!

www.fmass.comHi Adam,
You are almost right !
I am just rephrasing my question for you to understand!
But I don't mean only carousel, I love to see the list control comes in some innovative paths. As you know in flash CS4 adobe has come with motion editor concept for tweening, where you can go ahead and fix some path for the motion of any object on the stage like in aftereffects.
Now how about i take a template from illustrator where i define the data template of a data list control and scroll bar as vector assets. Now in flash catalyst, i come and fix them as data template and scroll bar. Now i double click and go into the datatemplate and then have a editor like in flash, where i can set a path for the motion of the repeated items, then in runtime it follows that path. This is my first idea.
Second one was i have a search box on top of it , then i type some name to search from the above mentioned datalist control, now it refines and updates the exisiting list with relavant repeated items. When this layout updates , each item should animate and sit back on the data list.
It's a small example for my idea! Hope you got my point!
As you said , I am also mentioning the same repeated items(a.k.a. Data Template, a.k.a. Item Renderer)! One more level of animation to avoid coding and easy to create stunning path following list controls. Even it can be used to define other controls too ! I don't mean images, it can be anything!
Can it be possible ?
Thanks!

Only if you have an airprint printer that supports ad hoc network connections (ad hoc connections are one wifi device connecting over the air directly with another).
If you search for "airprint ad hoc" you'll get plenty of hits - several printers to choose from it looks like. -
Is this possible with Actionscript 3 events?
Fairly new to AS3. Studying up on events.
Is it possible to have a simple value object dispatch an event and have the script inside the MXML respond to that event itself without having to register the event on the value object itself?
Example of what I'm talking about
I have a simple value object named Person. Not directly inherited from anything.
Has one variable. firstName : String;
When the firstName variable gets changed, the setter creates a new DispatchEvent object and dispatches a new event. It does this without any runtime errors. Back in the MXML, I want the MXML's Application to be what registers the event, NOT the Person object. In fact, it can't because I didn't inhert from the DispatchEvent class.
I've provided both the custom class and the MXML. I've kept it as bare bones and as simplistic as possible to get my intent across.
=======================================
MY CUSTOM CLASS DEFINITION
=======================================
package myClasses
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
public class Person
private var _firstName : String;
public function Person( fName : String )
_firstName = fName;
[Bindable(event="firstNameChange")]
public function get firstName():String
return _firstName;
public function set firstName(value:String):void
if( _firstName !== value)
_firstName = value;
var d:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher( );
d.dispatchEvent( new Event( "firstNameChange" ) );
=======================================
MY MXML
=======================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600"
creationComplete="application1_creationCompleteHandler(event)">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import myClasses.Person;
[Bindable]
protected var myPerson:Person
protected function application1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
// Want the "application" to be notified when the "firstNameChange" event happens
addEventListener( "firstNameChange", personChanged );
myPerson = new Person( "Scoobie Do" );
// Force a change and HOPE the event triggers
myPerson.firstName = "Shaggy";
// This is NOT being ran.
protected function personChanged( e:Event ) : void
Alert.show( "triggered" );
]]>
</fx:Script>
</s:Application>
All the examples I've seen would have the Person class inherit from the DispatchEvent class, then back in the MXML you'd have something like this
var p:Person = new Person( "thelma" );
p.addEventListener( "firstNameChange", someEventHandlerFunction );
I get that, but not what I'm trying to acheive here. I just want the Person object to dispatch the event and have someone else be able to listen for the "firstNameChange" event. Is this possible?
Thanks for the help!!!!Ahh, the age-old signals/slots vs Events debate...
The fact there is even a discussion on the topic gives you an idea of how powerful the language is (compared to other sandboxed client-side instruction sets). Architecturally, anything is possible. Hell, you could even write your own byte code interpreter if you wanted...
To get back to the original question, what you are looking for is a standardized way to get classes to communicate with each other, yes? This is usually done through a framework, or various design patterns. Pick whichever method your are comfortable with given your past programming experiences. -
Hi,
I am currently using a Horizontal Box to group a JLabel, 3 JTextFields and a JButton in a row. (it is a date entry field, with a pop-up calendar that is activated by the button.)
It looks exactly how I want it, EXCEPT that I need to make an exact replica of those objects, so the top fields will be used as a date search function FROM X date and the bottom fields will be the TO X date.
However, I cannot find a way to move the "search TO date" fields one line down or below the "search FROM date" fields.
Is this possible? Because right now my GUI looks rather silly with 10 objects horizontally spanning my screen.
Thanks in advance.You will need to use multiple components.
You probably want something like:
Search from:
Search to:
[ ] [ ] [ ]It may be a good idea to use combo boxes with fixed
values instead of textfields. If you use textfields,
then you'll have to verify the input.I'm quite happy using textfields as I have already written two classes that verify the type of input and limit the amount of characters entered.
So you'll have 4 components (1 for each horizontal
row).
Then you can create another box, but this time
vertical:
Box box = new Box(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS)
and then add the 4 components to the box.I dont really understand this part.
So, you are saying I should make 2 horizontal boxes and then put them in a vertical box?
And what is that syntax? As far as I know, you create a box using:
Box box = Box.createVerticalBox();Thanks for the prompt reply. -
Batch: Open Bridge 'Stacks' as layers in PS CS5 + run action. Is this possible with script??
I posted this topic a couple of days ago - I didn't know about this forum/group so the thread appears in Photoshop Scripting and Bridge Windows. I haven't found a solution on those forums - can any one here help?
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/880777?tstart=0
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/880779?tstart=0
I would like to automate part of my workflow that involves opening stacked images (in Bridge CS5) as layers in Ps CS5 and running an PS action that composites the layers and processes the image. Something similar to 'Process Collection' in Bridge CS5 only with my own action instead of merge to HDR/Panorama.
Apparently this is possible with Mac 'Automator' - is there anything I can do in Windows? I don't have any experience with writing scripts, but have friends that can help. Can someone tell me if its possible and point me in the right direction please?
This needs to be a batch process. I know how to open images as layers from Bridge so that I can manually run the PS action - I would like to automatically process lots of images in this same way.
To clarify, the script if possible will need to
1) find first stack (in Bridge [in selected folder])
2) open as layers in PS
3) run PS action
4) save and close (as psd preserving layers)
5) find next stack in Bridge (selected folder) and repeat.
By 'stack' I mean a set of similar files (for instance same scene -2EV, 0EV, +2EV)
Bridge's 'Process Collection' feature is great because it very cleverly recognises similar images (I think you have to stack them first) opens them and either processes them into a hdr or panoramic image. Instead or hdr or pano, wouldn't it be great if you could run your own action.
Bridge's Image Processor is fantastic at opening a batch of individual files and running your own processing action, but it won't open groups of images ('Stacks' or sets) as layers.
What I need is basically a hybrid of the two.In case you miss my late append in the other thread you may want to look at the auto collection script that ships with the Bridge and use it as a base for what you want to do. You may also be able to automat the creation of your stacks if their time stamps are close. The Auto Collection Script night now does two types of stacks HDR and Panoramas. You may be able to modify it to do a third stack type. You stack type and use your stack processing process instead of mearge to HDR or PhotoMerge.
From Bridge help:
The Auto Collection CS5 script in Adobe Bridge assembles sets of images into stacks for processing as high dynamic range (HDR) or panoramic composites in Photoshop CS5. The script collects images into stacks based on capture time, exposure settings, and image alignment. Timestamps must be within 18 seconds for the Auto Collection script to process the photos. If exposure settings vary across the photos and content overlaps by more than 80%, the script interprets the photos as an HDR set. If exposure is constant and content overlaps by less than 80%, the script interprets the photos as being part of a panorama.
Note: You must have Adobe Bridge with Photoshop CS5 for Auto Collection CS5 to be available.
To enable the Auto Collection CS5 script, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Bridge CS5.1 > Preferences (Mac OS).
In the Startup Scripts panel, select Auto Collection CS5, and then click OK.
Select a folder with the HDR or panoramic shots, and choose Stacks > Auto-Stack Panorama/HDR.
Choose Tools > Photoshop > Process Collections In Photoshop to automatically merge them and see the result in Adobe Bridge. -
Is this possible with LOG ERRORS?
I have a procedure which does a bulk insert/update operation using MERGE (running on Oracle 10gR2). We want to silently log any failed inserts/updates but not rollback the entire batch no matter how many inserts fail. So I am logging the exceptions via LOG ERRORS REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED. This works fine actually.
The one other aspect is the procedure is being called from Java and although we want any and all good data to be committed, regardless of how many rows have bad data, we still want to notify the Java front end that not all records were inserted properly. Even something such as '150 rows were not processed.' So I am wondering if there is anyway to still run the entire batch, log the errors, but still raise an error from the stored procedure.
Here is the working code:
CREATE TABLE merge_table
t_id NUMBER(9,0),
t_desc VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE merge_type IS OBJECT
type_id NUMBER(9,0),
type_desc VARCHAR2(100)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE merge_list IS TABLE OF merge_type;
-- Create Error Log.
BEGIN
DBMS_ERRLOG.CREATE_ERROR_LOG(
dml_table_name => 'MERGE_TABLE',
err_log_table_name => 'MERGE_TABLE_ERROR_LOG',
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE my_merge_proc_bulk(p_records IN merge_list)

/I tried this at the end of the procedure, but it does not work, probably because I am not using SAVE EXCEPTIONS:
IF (SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS.COUNT > 0) THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20105, SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS.COUNT || ' rows failed for the batch.' );
END IF;Also the one thing we would like to have is the datetime logged for each failure in the ERROR_LOG table. We may be running several different batches over night. Is this possible to manipulate the table to add this?

Correct - you need to use SAVE EXCEPTIONS.
I know there is the FORALL command, but I figured there was a way to do this with MERGE since the procedure does an update if a match is found instead
But you can use MERGE with FORALL and add the SAVE EXCEPTIONS to handle your problem.
I still have a question as to what the source of the PL/SQL table provided by the parameter Is this table being prepared in another PL/SQL procedure, in Java, or how? Are you confident that the number of rows in the table will be small enough to avoid a memory issue?
If in PL/SQL you could pass a ref cursor and then in this proc use a LOOP with a 'BULK COLLECT into' with a LIMIT clause to do the processing. -
Is this possible in flash CS3 or later to resize a movie clip but not its childern
Hi
I want to make a movie clip inside another on, and when I
resize the outer one by code or manually, the inner on should keep
it size as I created it first?
If this possible please give me the code for that (AS2.0 and
AS3.0)
thanks a lot.Hi,
I am not sure so I will just give some some "ideas" you can
try:
1) can you assign a "variable" to the size attribute? like
mclip.size=myvariable;
and then changing it?
2) can you use something to "record" the current size of the
"inside movie clip" like StoringVariable=this.size;
and then call it again later?
3)can you siply not "reassign" the size two times?
like for one "button click:
on (release)
movieclipparent.size=something;
movieclipinside.size=something else;
I think its definitely possible...
Have a look at the Keyword "_parent" or "this" for example...
or "_root.moviclip.movieclip" -

Open the picture file, go to Image>resize>image size. Read what the resolution is in px/in, write it down, do nothing else here at this time
Go to File>new>blank file, Enter the dimensions , resolution the same value that you wrote down in step #1, background color to suit, ok it.
Go back to the picture file, go to Select>all, go to Edit>copy to put it on the clipboard
Go back to the blank file, go to Edit>paste
Get the move tool out of the toolbox, position the picture, and resize with the corner handles of the bounding box, if necessary..
Note: For printing, the rule of thumb is that the resolution be in the 240-300px/in range, although I have had good results below this value. For web work, 72 px/in is ok. -

Is this possible - Import Flash swf which then imports an external swf
Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to (as the title says) to import an swf which itself imports an external swf?
Explanation - I've got an scrollbar created in flash...and to keep it tidy i've created the scroll 'content' as another swf which is imported into the scrollbar swf.
Whenever i publish/render the project the scroll bar appears but the content does not.
Is it possible to do this?
Captivate > imports flash > which imports external swf
Cheers
Craig.Yes that shouldn't be a problem at all. You probably won't be able to see it working when you preview the project from within Captivate but if you publish it and manually copy/paste the external swf to the publish directory, it should work just fine.

I have been mostly programming in java and new to flash. I am designing a web based webcam/video application. I need following functionality. Can this be done in flash? For the purposes of this discussions, the application is basically many to many webcam based video chat.
1) blurring of the webcam video on remote computer. Meaning the other person will see your stream blurred. Will I be able to achieve this by just low frame rate transmission? that way I can save the bandwidth as well? or I will have to use special effects in the flash. I do not want to have a blank window during inactive time. There is some value for the blurred motion in my application design.
2) when the user on remote computer wishes to chat with you then he/she will either move the cursor on the flash player or click a buttton to activate the chat. This will create some kind The activation basically takes the blurring away. Then the regular video chat begins.
3)Thanks for the reply.
I didn't explain this right. Let me try again. Will I be able to program my player such that when the blur filter is ON then use very slow frame rate to save bandwidth or this needs to be done on server side???
