Need Help Creating Advanced Interacives in InDesign

I am a graphic designer for a multinational New Zealand based company and we are looking to create an interactive offline web site or flash programme that our reps can use to introduce people to our products. We are looking for something akin to what iBook can create on a Mac system and are thinking that InDesign coupled with a small amount of flash should do it. The final output would allow a rep to show documents, video and photos as graphically interesting (possibly ZUI) educational tools from their tablets while offline. It will require a rather large site map and hyperlinks to online content if available. I am writing to inquire about training material or courses in NZ that could cover this sort of advanced interactive design for InDesign. I have some flash experience but until now InDesign has only been used for print layouts. So is there courses available in NZ and would InDesign allow me to create such a multi-page interactive document?
Cheers - Ben

@Ben – though I would not rule out Flash altogether, I think in your case it would be benefical to try the HTML5 route.
It's not for free, but there is a trial version of a 3rd party plug in for InDesign that could perfectly fit your needs:

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
Can anyone here help me?

Vincent,
If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):

Uber Noob Needs Help Creating website!

I need help creating my webpage: It has a textbox on it were
the user enters a URL and it then redirects the end user to that
URL when they press the GO Button. It also has a check box saying
"Hide my IP", If the end user clicks this box and then clicks go
they will be directed to the website they stateted in the Textbox
but this time it shall mask there IP Address so they can bypass
proxys and surf anonomosly. Please can someone give me some HTML
code i could use for this site or a Link to a website that can give
me the code.

I assume the application is connecting to Oracle using an application ID/password. If so, check to see if that user has a private synonyn to the table. If so drop it since you have a public synonym.
Verify that the public synonym is in fact correct. Drop and recreate the public synonym if you cannot select against the synonym name using an ID that can perform select * from inhouse.icltm where rownum = 1. That is if this other user cannot issue select * from icltm where rownum = 1 without an error.
Check that the application ID has the necessary object privileges on the table.
Queries you need
select * from dba_synonyms
where table_owner = 'INHOUSE'
and table_name = 'ICLTM'
You may find both public and private synonms. Either fix or delete. (Some may reference someelses.icltm table if one exists)
select * from dba_tab_privs
where table_name = 'ICLTM'
and owner = 'INHOUSE'
Note - it is possible to create mixed case or lower case object names in Oracle by using double quotes around the name. Do not do this, but do look to see that this was not done.
You could also query dba_objects for all object types that have the object_name = 'ICLTM'

Need help activating Advanced Calling 1.0 on Verizon for iphone 6 business account

I need help activating Advanced Calling 1.0 on Verizon for iphone 6 business account. I was on the phone with Verizon for over an hour and they can't figure out why it's not working. I'm trying to activate the Voice & Data and all I get is a spinning circle but it never actually works. Anyone have any ideas?

I just pulled this from the Verizon page. Not sure if it applies to you or not, but it could explain part of your problem since you identify this as a business account.
Q: Who is eligible for Advanced Calling 1.0?
A: Any Verizon customer with a compatible phone and a postpaid calling plan is eligible. Please note that the following features are currently incompatible with Advanced Calling 1.0: Ringback Tones and Caller Name ID. Additional incompatible features apply for Business and Government customers.

Need to create a directory in inDesign using data merge

Need to create a multi paged document that contains fields with persons pix, name, address, and phone number.
It will be alphabetized and searchable using an index.
I want the end result to be a multi-page pdf.
Is data merge the tool to use?
Or please suggest some other application, mac please!
Any advice...
Lisa-renee

Yep, Data merge can do that. You'll want to make multiple records per page, have a look at the help here and report back with specific questions if you have them.
You need to get your document that you're merging from sorted first though, there's a script here that will help you arrange your images.

Need help with advanced Query

I am stuck on a query and hope someone can help me out with
it. Basically I am trying to get the average score by team who has
competed in four or more events.
So far I have my query doing a join to pull in the teams name
and their category. What I want to do is be able to count the
unique locations and do an average of the four highest scores on a
field called overall.
I have tried putting a couple different COUNT in my query's
WHERE statement but it errors out.
Any ideas? Some how I have a feeling I need to create a new
table.
Thanks

You need to use GROUP BY. Will need to know more specifics
about the
table construction along with sample data, and an example of
the
expected results.

Need help creating landscape in AE

Hi, I need to create an animation of a train moving through different landscape scenes. I want the hills to be an actual 3D rendering with the train moving through them but I am unsure how to do this. I am familiar with 3D and can create the hills in my 3D application but how do I get my 3D hill into AE so the train, camera and lights etc. can interact with the hill?
1. How do i get my 3D hill into AE?
2. How do I add the train so it goes around the hills?
3. How do I get the camera and lights etc. to reflect on my 3D hill?

First of all, it would be very helpful to post an example of the kind of look you're going for or a similar shot you're trying to recreate. In animation there are limitless ways of making things so it really helps to be very specific. For now I can advise this much...
1. Render your hills out of your 3D application as an image sequence that supports transperancy if you want to layer them or you want the sky to show up behind them.
2. If you want the train to go around the hills, it really depends on how you make the train. Are you also rendering that in a 3D app?
3. I don't know what you mean by getting the camera to reflect, but when you make a layer 3D, After Effects shows the Material Options settings that allow you to control how your layers react to different lighting setups.

Aperture Workflow - need help creating workflow for photo management

Hi -
I currently shoot with a Canon SD890 (point & shoot) and a Nikon D300 (SLR). My photography is either personal photography or street photography. I may use some of my photography for a web project but that should not be considered right now. I shoot jpegs with the SD890 and RAW with the D300. I need to create a workflow that will allow me to manage all of my photos as well as the RAW vs JPEG aspect. Here are a few initial questions:
1) Should I separate the RAW and JPEGs in Aperture (two libraries)? One library for finished photos and one for negatives?
2) What folder structure should I use? Since I am not a professional photographer, I won't be shooting projects. I think something date or event driven would be best (preferably both).
I am interested to hear how others do this...especially if you use both point & shoot and SLR cameras.
Thanks for your help!

No, use a single Library. Aperture will have no problems with the various formats or with various different cameras.
2) What folder structure should I use? Since I am not a professional photographer, I won't be shooting projects. I think something date or event driven would be best (preferably both).
Actually those date or event driven batches of images are very logically "Projects" in Aperture. Simply name each group of images as you import into AP as a new Project.
IMO it is not good to import camera-to-Aperture (or direct to any app other than the Finder). Best is to use a card reader and use the Finder to copy images from the camera card to a folder on the computer hard drive.
Below is my Referenced-Masters workflow:
• Remove the CF card from the camera and insert it into a CF card reader. Faster readers and cards are preferable.
• Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive. I label that folder with the Project name suffixed with _masters, that way I can always find the Masters if Aperture forgets where they are.
• Eject CF.
• Burn backup copies of the original images to DVDs or to hard drives (optional backup step).
• Eject backup DVDs/hard drives (optional backup step).
• From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location."
• Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
• Reformat CF in camera, and archive DVDs of originals off site.
Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.
I strongly recommend that every Aperture user spend $35 and work through the tutorial CD Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2 (Apple Pro Training Series) by Ben Long, Richard Harrington, and Orlando Luna (Paperback - May 8, 2008), Amazon.com. Note that the value is in working the tutorial, not in using the book as a manual.
Good luck!

Quick Time VR - need help creating qtvr

I'm teaching my middle school students web design and flash to create an interactive school map. I want to add 360 qtvr's but I need help - I can't seem to get information on how to create them. Any Los Angeles help possible?

QuickTime Pro doesn't create VR files. It only presents them.

Need help creating arraylist

I am trying to help a friend in school with a project and we need some help...
We need to write a program to estimate how much paint is needed to paint a house. Assuming we know the square feet that a gallon of paint covers, number of coats required, and the dimensions of the wall, window, door, or gable.
We are using a GUI to enter the data for the different regions.
We have the GUI created and the hierchy competed. I need some help creating the arraylist to run the program.
The user will enter a new region by selecting:
surface type
width
height
then you will be able to add or insert to include this region in the list.
You will also be able modify, delete, or navigate to existing regions in the list by selecting the appropriate navigigation buttons below:
( |< or < or > or >| )
Classes include:
PaintEstimatorView
PainEstimator Model
Regions:
Wall
Door
Gable
Window
And the Approriate Listners
Each region will have its own height and width which are set when the region is created
Each region will compute and return its area and the walls and gables will contribute to the surface; windows and doors will reduce the surface.
each region will calculate its area.
We need to include a View and Model
The view will manage the interface and the model will provide the necessary processing.
responsibilities of the view:
Instantiate and arrange the windowobjects
instantiate and initialize the model
handle user generated events such as button clicks and menu selections by sending message to the model
represent the model to the user.
Model:
Define and manage the applications data(coordinating the activities of several programmer defined classes)
respond to messages from the view
We have the GUI completed I just need some help getting the arraylist started to run the program.
We will need to keep a count and index of all the regions created by the user and you need to be able to shuffle throught them if you need to delete or modify them. You also need to insert windows and doors which will subtract from the total surface area but you have to go back to which ever wall or gable and create the window or door before or after that region.
If anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in adavnce

Iscripts - Need help creating a form in one

I am confused about delimiting in iscripts. I need to create the fiollowing form:
In iscript named IScript1
in function: buildform
buildform has these two inputs, firstname and lastname
the action of the form is also in iscript1 function getinputs
iscript getinputs will just print out the firstname and lastname
Could I get some help with this?
Thanks, Allen Cunningham

Your site is running on an Apache server, so it definitely doesn't support ASP. Apache frequently supports PHP, but I couldn't tell from the headers sent by your server whether it's supported on your site.
I suggest that you contact BT Business support to see if they offer a formmail script. Most hosting companies do. The support pages should describe how to set it up.

Need help with advanced applet

I need help with designing an applet as follows. Can someone give me a basic layout of code and material so i can fill in the rest or at leats give me some hints so i can get started since i am like no good at applets.
Design and implement an applet that graphically displays the processing
of a selection sort. Use bars of various heights to represent
the values being sorted. Display the set of bars after each swap. Put
a delay in the processing of the sort to give the human observer a
chance to see how the order of the values changes.
heres a website that does something similar

Need help creating many, many users.

Hi,
I need to create around 500,000 users in the iFS schema in the quickest possible way.
The java API will do about 2 a second, which gives me an overhead of a few days?!?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, this list has never let me down yet ;o)
Paul.

Paul, we have not tested creating that many users in iFS, so we don't know if you will run into any issues. And I don't have any timed stats for creating users through XML.
But we believe that using the Java API is the fastest way to create users.
You will want to create the users in batch, and disconnect between batches, as the JVM memory will increase during the create.
So you may want to create the users 10,000 at a time, and then disconnect and reconnect to create the next 10,000. Set your java MX setting for the JVM as high as you can (say, 768M), and then measure your memory usage for the first 10,000 users to see close to the MX setting the JVM gets.
