Need some advice on how to make this Flash movie

I have 5 flash movies which are all exported swf files from Camtasia. Now I have to design a Flash movie which has 5 Icons on a blank screen which point to each of these movies. When the user clicks on one movie the exported swf from Camtasia should play and when its finished it shoudl go back to Main Menu page.
a) Is it possible to include a controllable progress bar for a SWF movie
I am just looking for advice , like do this and do that. I shall try and write the code myself.
cheers

You may find the VideoPlayer class helpful:

There's some sample code there which shows you how to put a video player on a movie and play something. You would just need to add some buttons and stuff. That example is Actionscript 3. Things will be different if you have an older version of Flash.

Advice on how to make this look up?

Hello everyone.
I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on how to do this to make it the last complex.
I thought up some complex solutions that will work but seem messy in some ways.
I need to create a look up, I'm parsing a file and transforming it based on its field name and field value. If a certain field name and field value is found, I need to create specific subfields. An example is:
say I read in a file and I come across
A class named interface
with a data field DisplayStatus and field type: INTEGER INIT(132)
DisplayStatus INTEGER INIT(132)
Then I need to create a file that looks like this:
DisplayStatus INTEGER INIT(132);
OP 'interface'.'DisplayStatus'
HAS_SUBFIELD NOTIFY;
OP 'interface'.'DisplayStatus'
HAS_SUBFIELD TIMESTAMP;
OP 'interface'.'DisplayStatus'
HAS_SUBFIELD CHANGE;
OP 'interface'..'DisplayStatus'.CHANGE
SUBFIELD_HAS_VALUE (METHODSPEC) (DUIFCRDC) ;
OP 'interface'.'DisplayStatus'
On the other hand, if I run across a field name:
CommandIndicator CHARVAR;
Then I need to create the following in a file:
CommandIndicator CHARVAR;
OP 'interface'.'CommandIndicator'
HAS_SUBFIELD NOTIFY;
So you can see, based on a specific field name, and data type, they have unique data types.
My solution was going to store a text file that contained all the field names, data types and subfields, and just create a map, so based on the field name, it will look up the value which wil be the subfields, but you can see the sub fields can either be 1 line long, or it can be multiple lines long, thats where I'm running into issues.
What type of data structure would I use? a Map<String, List<String>> ? or is that making it more complicated than it ahs to be?

To make sure I understood you correctly:
You have a file like
class classname
fieldname1 DATATYPE1 constraint
fieldname2 DATATYPE2 constraintyou want
OP 'classname'.'fieldname1'.some optional string
some line defined by DATATYPE1
...How would you store "some optional string" in a Map<String, List<String>>?
Do you just replace a special char sequence with 'interface'..'DisplayStatus'?
If so, why not just store the lines in one String including the line breaks, making the list dispensable?
Regarding XML:
I guess he meant that if you had both your source files in xml, you could do what you want via XSL transformation.
But you'll have to google for that yourself. It has been a while since I worked with that.

How to make this QT movie "acceptable" to iPad Keynote?

This is a short movie (of Teddy Roosevelt flying in a Wright brothers plane in 1910) in QuickTime format at the Library of Congress:
http://memory.loc.gov/mbrs/trmp/4087.mov
It plays fine when dragged onto a slide in Keynote '09 under OSX 10.6.4 -- but when I bring that Keynote file into Keynote for iPad, the iPad version can't handle it.
What do I have to do to this QT movie on my Mac to make it acceptable to KN on the iPad -- preferably in the simplest way that also doesn't degrade quality?
Thanks!

I've had to convert a few things.... I'm a college prof and show various films in class- I've already ripped everything to my MacBook, and am in the process of putting it on my iPad. I do wish iTunes labeled the iPad version, but it doesn't. You have to look at the file type to tell which is which.

Need advice on how to make this all work together

Not really sure where to post this, so I decided to post here. I'm trying to streamline devices and move more into the cloud. Because of some weird network issues it is complicated.
Currently I have a MacMini at home. I am a teacher so office-type documents are important. I'm currently using Mac Office 2011. I have a netbook that I use to show PowerPoint at school and to have access to documents. I use Dropbox to keep them in sync. I also have an iPhone 4 and 3rd gen iPad with unlimited 3G/4G data.
The big fly in the ointment is that Dropbox is blocked on our school network. This causes all kinds of problems because it means I have to sync my netbook in the mornings and afternoons or I get conflicts. Its also a pain to get things off the net. I have to use my school PC, then USB it to my netbook because it has no net access.
I also want to keep school and personal items completely separate.
Things I have been considering....
Moving to iWork apps to make use of Apple's cloud.
Replacing my mini with a MBP to use as a base at home, and to then be able to take to school. I would not want to use it on my projector so that's an issue.
Using an iPod Touch to show keynote presentations.
Laptop thoughts usually creep in, but to be honest I've never really used them all that often. I like lots of screen room.
I would prefer the iPad to be my main mobile computer.
Looking forward to any input.

I have a MBP, IPAD with retina display, and multiple iphones in the family. I have a Airport Extreme for my router and Apple TV hooked up to our lcd TV. The Apple TV is great because you can use any apple device to project whatever your working with onto the Apple TV with Airplay. Not sure if you would be able to connect your Apple TV to the school network, but if you could that would be the answer along with using the cloud. The key would be access to the school network.

Need Some Advice on How to Sell Star Wars Cards

I'm looking for some free advice. I've noticed that there are quite a few posters who sell cards. I have a box of Star Wars Cards from 1977. I've had them for about 10 years and there is an unorganized mass of hundreds and hundreds of cards.I haven't counted them but there are a LOT of cards. It seems like these came directly from the factory. I have no idea what they're about, nor do I have any interest in organizing them, but I do want to sell them and think they have some value. I could list them as is on eBay as is but I'm pretty sure that would be asking for problems on so many levels. I could take them to several stores in my town to see about selling. I can't stress just how far this is from my comfort zone. That's why I thought I'd ask for advice here. I've started to list these about a dozen times and always end up tossing the box in a corner because it just gives me a headache.

I think Pierre makes a good point. What is "lowball" anyway? We all know that to make money here, one needs to at least triple the price paid, so that means at best one is going to get 33% of actual retail from a reseller. So if the cards have an actual marketable value of $300 (ie the SOLD price), the best one could hope for would be $100. For a boxlot like this, there is a lot of work, so figuring one's processing time in, it is likely more reasonable to expect half of that, ie $50. if one is lucky. In my opinion, the value one gets offered will be based on whether the seller has an easy market for it and/or how much time it takes to process it and sell it. I have encountered situations where I have paid multiple times the price other reputable dealers have offered because "I have a guy" that buys the stuff being sold which allows me to pay more because I have a quick turnaround with little time invested. I am sure other folks who have not sold to me have found other dealers who have paid more, perhaps because the other dealer "has a guy" too that buys different stuff than my customers. So I know likely for certain, depending on who you ask, there will be people who think I am better than fair in terms of what I offer and others who think I am less than fair because they found someone else who offered more. I also know that I divest some stuff to fellow dealers because other stamp dealers have cultured customer bases and I actually get more money selling it to my fellow dealer than I would get trying to sell it directly myself, and with no risk of loss. Anyway, because I get collateral (non stamps) stuff like this in the big boxes/estates I buy, I try to keep "I have a guy" for the non-stamp related stuff. Usually I find them by taking "free" collateral stuff, and as it becomes clear they're trustworthy, I divert the better stuff to them later. None of that is fast, I'm in my 37th selling year now and it takes a lot of time and energy to "find the guy".... but that's what I try to do... This doesn't really answer the original question, if I personally came across these, and didn't want/have the time to spend sorting them out etc, the route I would probably go is one of my trusted antique sellers. These probably have better chance of going well in an antique store than trying to compete against the loads of stuff here - but I wouldn't have had much invested in them because they'd have been collateral..... sometimes stuff like this goes better than it should in a general auction because folks believe star wars cards are worth a lot (they can be depending on condition, if there are actually complete sets etc).

I need some advice ..How would you..

I know I can ask this is in a dedicated Forum (of some sort)... but for now ...I am after quick and easy thoughts to start with.
I want to make a "Home Page" for a retail IN STORE computer screen.
Its for customers to access specific websites at the click of an icon (LOGO).
ie 16 logos on screen ..in custom-skinned Chrome Browser.
I need this to be simple.
Placement of Logos ...easy!
1. So ...what simple application will end me up with an HTML file with each logo , linked.
I want to avoid apps such as MUSE
2. I assume its simple enough to place an appropriate file (folder?) in a Chrome "local location" and make it a Favourite and a Home Page?
Thoughts.
Thanx!

I used to have dreamweaver when it was macromedia .. before adobe got it. Did some pretty cool stuff with it using MS Visual Studio and MS Sql Server for database ASP ( dot net framework with local computer as the " server " ( called IIS ).. using windows ( pc )... pretty much the same as what Bill said...
You had choices back then about business apps or straight HTML stuff.. and it does get complicated no many levels...
One is design element ( page design ) and the other is code behind stuff ( what gets delivered from server to client pages ).
I don't have CC which would probably include dreamweaver now right ??? So, if you do have CC I'd go with dreamweaver and use their templates maybe, or else their forum for help on what you wanna do. They are cool over there at that forum.
As you probably know, the page design is basically around tables and cells and layers and all sorts of junk.. and that is dependent on the browsers and platforms ( smartphones and desktops and so on )...there's a girl over at dreamweaver forum who is really good and helpful about simple stuff and also complex stuff. and also some guys too... I'd go with that.
If you want " free " dumb HTML stuff and have windows OS .. you can try Microsoft Expression.. which I got free a couple months ago.. from MS.. it is kinda like DW but more simple...
In fact, the reason it became " free " was cause they couldn't compete with DW at all.. so they just give it away now. But it works fine for real simple stuff..
No matter what you use you have to deal with the gazillion " client " things.. desktop, tablets, smartphones, etc .. AND the browser differences.. that code ALONE to seek out what the client is and then choose how to deliver the page ... is a challenge... I bet the DW forum would be a good place to start with that...
good luck !

Need some advice on how to approach a problem

Hi,
I have a Jpanel, in which i use paintComponent() to draw a lot of things....
I pretty much have a large grid...and within this grid, i have lines, which are connected by points....The lines are moved around by dragging the points.
To check if a point is grabbed....i just get the x,y coordinates from the mouse listener....loop through my list of points, and check if the x,y coordinates of the mouse click fall within a rectangle of the point....this is pretty simple...especially since the points are rather small...
I now have to figure out a way to enable a right click popup menu to appear if the user right click on top of a line (give or take a few pixels)....now I could take the approach mentioned above...and loop through all the lines....but i would not be able to do 1 check per line...since the lines can be long/short, and take any angle...thus its not as simple to just check a specific area around the whole line (because this area might turn out to be too large)....
so what i was thinking is to create my own component, which would draw a line, and have its own mouse listeners...and the popup menu would only occur if the mouse listener for the component went off....
im not so sure of this idea...thats why i am posting to this forum....any and add advice is greatly appreciated!
thanks!

thanks for your help...i read the distance formula...and i tried to implement it...but i couldn't get it working....I think i am confused as to what the distance formula is returning...here is my math:
we have a line between points: (105,239) & (153,239)...this is a straight line across the x - axis....and i click on a point: (140,230)
first thing i need to do is convert these points into Ax + By + C = 0....so:
y = (A/B)x + C
A = (y1-y2); ==> 0
B = (x1-x2); ==> -48
C = C*B; ==> 239 * -48 => -11,472
now we have our equation Ax + By + C = 0 ==> 0x - 48y - 11,472 = 0;
the distance formula states: abs(Ar + Bs + C)/sqrt(A^2 + B^2)....using r=140, and s = 230...we get:
abs(0 - 48*230 - 11,472) / sqrt(48^2) ==> approximately 469....
now this doesn't make sense....since the point is actually only 9 pixels away from the line (in the Y direction)....
thanks for your help!

I just got the new Ipad. When I try to send a message to my friends Iphone the blue send icon wont work. Anybody have any advice on how to make this work.

The blue icon is there, its just isnt bolded and doesnt do anything when i press it. Please help!

First, 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 then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!
Then, see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database. Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer. If you have one that matches that it will label it. You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
This script will only work on Macs:

First format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
Next drag your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD. When the copying is complete launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the window that comes up select the library on the EHD:
Check the file path under the window to make sure the correct library has been selected.
Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all of your photos you can delete the library in your Pictures folder.

What happens when, after you connect your cam, you go to File > Import Media?
But before that, does your cam require you to export your video files upon USB connection? I have a JVC Everio HD and I have to "Export to Library" from the cam's menu first-thing. This was true even in prior iMovie versions.

On your iPad - go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Load Remote Images>On. Try that first.
You can also try a reset. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail and all other apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
