Newbie: Alternative Flash Developer Tool

Hello,
does anybody know an alternative
Flash-Developer-Tool? Because the Adobe
Flash Pro 3CS costs about 700$ :-(
Perhaps there is a free tool?
Or there is a "Privat" or "Student" Version
for the Flash Pro 3CS?

maybe some investigating on the Adobe site is in order.. but
i believe there is a 'student' version, or 'education' version,
something like that. why not stick with flash 8 till the price
drops... whats the hurry to get CS3 and have to learn the syntax,
and deal with any bugs that havnt been patched yet?

Flash Alternative for developing app with lots of 2D Animation

First let me say, I know Flash does not run on iPad. And I'm not looking for an alternative to Flash Video.
I want to create an app for the iPad, with a lot of full screen, 24 frames-per-second animation. Basically an interactive Animated Movie, like the game Dragon's Lair, from days of yore.
I know how to do this in Flash, using the timeline and drawing and animation tools, and using Actionscript to track user clicks and trigger events in the movie.
Are there any alternative tools I can use for iPad app development, that will allow me to:
-- Draw directly in the tool
-- Do frame by frame animation in the tool
-- Uses a timeline
-- Uses vector images to keep the file size down
-- Has a scripting language that will allow me to track the user clicking on invisible buttons and trigger new animations?
I've looked at all of Apple's Developer tools for the iPhone and iPad, but they all seem to use Bitmapped Sprites which would make the file size way too big, and animation a nightmare.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Well, there are several 3D game developers for the iOS operating system including EA Sports and id Software's Doom Engine. And in the Apple Software Development Kit for iOS, there are numerous API's for game development. I think you should google game development for the iOS (ipad and iphone), and see what they've got.

From flash develop into flash builder?

Recently, I'm trying to use flashbuilder as the editor to associate with augmented reality. I'm useing in2ar sdk to compile the ar function. In the official in2ar tutorial they used flash develop as a example. However, when I import the sdk to the flash builder and try to run the example, it just samplely not working. In the console window, it just show [SWF] with the path of Main.swf - 1.285 bytes after decompression. Anyone know what wrong with this? The sdk and example works perfect in flash develop.

Go to the Insert menu in DW and select swf. Find the .swf that you want to use and select it. Save the file and then use the Preview in Browser tool. Alternately, you can use the Publish function in the File menu in Flash to publish an html docuement that you can then open in DW.

DocFlex/Javadoc 1.5.6, a multi-format doclet development tool and more

DocFlex/Javadoc is both a multi-format Javadoc Doclet and a rapid doclet development tool, which allows easy creation of professional quality Java API documentation generated by Javadoc in various output formats.

What is DocFlex?
Main Concepts

KEY FEATURES
Template-driven doclet architecture
- Actual doclets are created in the form of special templates interpreted by the DocFlex Doclet, which is the template interpreter / output generator wrapped in the form of a Javadoc Doclet.
- The high quality graphic Template Designer allows you to visually design most of things, whose development was possible so far only by direct Java coding.
- The templates are designed independently on a particular output format. All formatting is specified in some universal way using properties of template components. During the generation, it is rendered with the suitable features available in the selected output format.
- The elaborated support of template parameters (including multivalued list parameters). The parameters are defined and accessed within templates to adjust dynamic properties of template components. Most of options previously used to control an ordinary doclet now simply become template parameters!
- The possibility to call templates from one another. This feature (along with the template parameters) makes possible re-using the same templates for different tasks as well as organizing template libraries.
Data processing
- The entire Doclet API is represented in the form of a virtual XML document (called Doclet DSM), on which the designing and processing of all templates is based.
- Sophisticated capabilities for data querying and sorting based on an extension of XPath.
- Full support of new Java 5.0 language features: Generic Types, Enums, Annotations.
- Simultaneous support of Java 1.4 and Java 5.
Creating hyperlinks
- Generation of an extensive network of hyperlinks interconnecting the whole documentation.
- The hyperlinks can be generated in all output formats that support them (this currently includes HTML and RTF).
- The universal way of defining documentation cross-links based on the link/target keys specified in templates.
- In RTF, the cross-links can be generated in the form of page number references, which effectively makes them usable even in the printed documentation.
- In HTML, the possibility of loading several frame windows from a single hyperlink at once.
Universal support of various formatting techniques
- text formatting: fonts, colors, borders
- paragraph formatting: margins, pagination control, borders, colors
- border formatting: styles (solid, double, dashed, dotted), thickness, colors
- tables: arbitrary cell layouts, borders, nested tables
- lists: bulleted, numbered, delimited
- document fields (RTF): page number, number of pages, TOC, etc.
- page formatting: size, orientation, margins, headers/footers
- formatting styles
- rendering of embedded HTML, which means interpreting in non-HTML output formats (such as RTF) the HTML tags embedded in text data (e.g. documentation comments). Almost all HTML tags practically usable in doc-comments are supported.
Inserting images
- statically specified in templates
- dynamically, obtained by <img> tags found in Java comments
- supported image formats: GIF, PNG, JPG, WMF, EMF, BMP
Output formats
- HTML (both framed multi-file and single-file output)
- RTF (version 1.6 - supported since Word 2000).
- TXT (plain text), which may be particularly useful for various utilizations of the Java code information provided by the Doclet API generate XML files by it, or SQL files to import into a database).
Standard Template Set
- The ready-to-use Standard Template Set included in all editions of DocFlex/Javadoc allows you to immediately generate:
(*) The framed HTML Java API documentation similar to that generated by the standard Javadoc.
(*) The same documentation packed in a single HTML file.
(*) The unmatched quality RTF JavaDoc.
- Special features supported by standard templates:
(*) Excluding classes/methods/fields by custom tags and annotations.
(*) Selective omitting of package qualifiers.
(*) Selective documenting of custom tags (similar to -tag option of Standard Doclet).
- By modifying the standard templates, you can quickly customize the generated documentation according to your needs.
Doclet GUI
- Besides command line options, DocFlex Doclet supports an alternative user-friendly way to control the template-based doclets interactively -- the high quality Doclet GUI.
- The Doclet GUI starts with the Generator Dialog, where you can specify all general settings (such as the main template, the output format and the output directory), start the generation, track its progress and stop at any moment you need.
- The grid-tree-based Parameter Inspector invoked from the Generator Dialog for a selected template allows you to view the descriptions of all template parameters controlling the doclet and set their values according to the parameter data types.
- The generator options specific for the selected output format can be set in the corresponding Format Option Inspector (also invoked from the Generator Dialog).
- Once the generation is finished (or cancelled), you can start it again with different settings or a new main template without restarting the whole Javadoc.
Integrations
- With any system that runs Javadoc (in particular, see below)
- Apache Ant
- Apache Maven 2
- Eclipse
For lots more information, see DocFlex/Javadoc homepage: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/]
AVAILABILITY
DocFlex/Javadoc comes in two editions:
(1) The full edition called "DocFlex/Javadoc" as it is. This is commercial software, which includes all the implemented functionality.
(2) The reduced freeware edition called "DocFlex/Doclet". It includes only the output generator and can be used as an interpretor of any custom templates. It also includes the standard template set, which allows you to instantly use it as an HTML doclet (similar to the standard one, however with some special features) plus an excellent quality RTF doclet.
Both editions are available for downloads on the page: [http://www.filigris.com/downloads/]
THIS VERSION
New features:
- The template interpretor works 15-20% faster
- Improvement of RTF output
- Multi-valued (list) template parameters
- Custom elements
- Standard Templates: Selective documenting of custom tags (similar to -tag option of standard doclet)

WHAT IS DOCFLEX?
DocFlex is an innovative technology for development of high quality template-driven documentation/report generators by any kind of data obtained from various software applications via the Java APIs they provide.
MAIN CONCEPTS
The whole DocFlex technology is based on four generalizations:
(1) The mapping of an entire Java API onto a virtual XML-like representation made of some elements and attributes so as to process any such a representation in a universal way using techniques borrowed from the field of XML, like XPath (or more precisely, a conceptual analogue of XPath with some extensions not present in it).
(2) The abstract formatting concept based on four layouts (flow of text, flow of paragraphs or paragraph-like objects, tables and lists), which can be rendered in most modern document formats (e.g. HTML, RTF, XSL-FO etc.)
(3) The automatic generation of hyperlinks (or their page number reference equivalents) by matching the sets of keys produced from certain natural properties of the things (entities) being documented and hyper-linked.
(4) The representation of the object controlling structure of the output generator (made on the first three principles) in the form of a plain-text template with a possibility to create and edit such templates using a graphic Template Designer, which visualizes the controlling objects (now becoming template components) in a form resembling the output they will produce.
OTHER APPLICATIONS
In fact, DocFlex/Javadoc is not the only application of DocFlex technology. The following is a summary of other DocFlex software:
DocFlex/XML
The SDK and runtime environment for rapid development and execution of template-driven automatic documentation/report generators by any data obtained from XML files.
This is currently the most complex and advanced application of DocFlex technology. Actually, this tool can be considered a powerful alternative to XSLT. At least, it is definitely able to do what XSLT apparently not (for example, see XSDDoc below). We will publish a more detailed comparison DocFlex/XML versus XSLT with the next DocFlex/XML release, which is coming very soon.
DocFlex/XML home page: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_xml/]
DocFlex/XML | XSDDoc
A template set for DocFlex/XML that implements a high quality W3C XML Schema documentation generator in HTML and RTF output formats.
For more details, please see: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_xml/xsddoc/]
DocFlex/XML | WSDLDoc
A similar template set for DocFlex/XML that will implement a high-end WSDL documentation generator.
This product is not released yet.
DocFlex/Together
A template-driven documentation generator for [Borland Together|http://www.borland.com/us/products/together/] (which is a UML modeling tool).
This is the earliest application of DocFlex technology and probably the most beautiful one. It works only with Together Architect 1.x, which is now obsolete. Unfortunately, since Together 2005, Borland eliminated any open APIs (for unknown reasons). Because of this, further development of DocFlex/Together was impossible.
DocFlex/Together home page: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_together/]
See also examples of the UML documentation generated with it: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_together/examples/]
The future DocFlex/UML is going to generate something like this as well.
DocFlex/UML
A template-driven UML documentation generator based on [Eclipse EMF|http://www.eclipse.org/emf/]. This tool is in early development stage yet. In a sense, it will continue DocFlex/Together with the focus on integration with other UML tools that use Eclipse EMF.

Now, DocFlex/Javadoc v1.4 has been released specifically dedicated to Linux (Mac OS X) support:
(*) Some early bugs have been fixed, which prevented it working properly under Linux.
(*) A special RTF option was introduced to generate OpenOffice.org friendly RTF (see below)
(*) Improved support for external document viewers.
(*) Now, DocFlex/Javadoc software includes the shell script files prepared to quickly install and launch it under Linux
New RTF option
A new RTF output option "Tune output for MS Word� has been introduced. This option, actually, allows switching off that very tuning (which until now was the default mode) to produce an RTF friendly to open with other non MS Word applications, e.g. OpenOffice.org Writer under Linux.

Permissions for Developer Tools

I installed the Developer Tools on three Macs I bought for my students to try. The setup is with three basic accounts: Admin; Graham (Standard account for my use); and Student. The latter is a Managed account.
I have found in the Managed account that trying to open any of the applications in the Developer package brings up a "insufficient privileges" warning. I am reluctant to give the students increased access privileges (and Admin is certainly out) as they are (of course) inquisitive and will push things if they can. It is possible for me to use the programs in my Standard account.
I had a look at the Finder permissions for a few of the files but even when I undid the padlock, I was unable (in Admin) to change the Student account to anything that would allow use.
Is there a way to allow access to these utilities by changing permissions, or am I going to have to change that account to a Standard one, with possible risk?

"I had a look at the Finder permissions for a few of the files but even when I undid the padlock, I was unable (in Admin) to change the Student account to anything that would allow use."
How much time did you waste doing this? I say wasted because "permissions" have nothing to do with why the "managed" user can't use those applications in this situation - that dialogue is an example of a poor choice of words by the GUI designers, right up there with calling "login items" "Startup items" prior to "Tiger" (not to be confused with "StartupItems"), referring to a file owned by a uid that doesn't have a corresponding local user as being owned by "(unknown)" (not to be confused with the user "unknown" uid=99), and don't get me started about "Name", "realname", "Short Name", "name"...
Rant aside, "Michael Conniff" is correct - applications may be approved for use by a "managed" user by selecting them in the "Accounts" pref pane. The selected apps are recorded in 'mcx_settings' in "NetInfo", and represented only by eg. their 'CFBundleIdentifier', or else a string derived from their "creator code". The programme's "path" is not important.
It seems that only items in "/Applications" or "/Applications/Utilities" are presented in the "checkable" list in the "Accounts" pref pane, so the "Developer" apps can be made to appear there if their enclosing folder is temporarily to "/Applications" (they can be moved back after the apps are selected because the "path" is unimportant). Neither an "alias" nor a "symbolic link" to the developer apps folder seems to work. However, an alias to an app itself will appear in the list, so an alternative would be to place a folder full of aliases in the "/Applications" folder. A folder full of aliases can be prepared by searching in "/Developer" for items whose "Kind" is "Application", selecting "All" in the search results list, and dragging the items to a folder while holding down the "command" (⌘) and "option" (⌥) keys.

Connection Problem When Using Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio

I tried to create an Oracle Connection in my Visual Studio 2008 after installing Oracle 11g, Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) with Oracle Devleoper Tools for Vissual Studio version 11.1.0.6.20.
I followed the directions according to "Building .NET Applications Using Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio, when I click Test Connection, I keep getting the error message below.
Microsoft Visual Studio
ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
OK
---------------------------

I solved the problem.
This is what I did for the benefit of the embryonic newbe like me.
On the Add Connection Dialog
1.     For Data source name I selected Local Database
2.     I clicked on the specific User Name and I typed SYSTEM
3.     For Password, I typed orcl (the password I setup during the installation) (HR did not work for me for User name and Password according to the tutorial instructions)
4.     For Role, I selected Default
5.     Connection Name, I selected Local Database
6.     Before proceeding any further went to Windows XP SP3 where I was operating from, under Start Menu, I selected Administrative Tools then Services
a.     On the Windows Services (Local) Dialog, under name, I selected OracleServiceORCL and OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener. I clicked on them one at a time
b.     On the presented Dialog, under Service Status, I Clicked on the Start Button to start the Services
c.     Then I went back to the Add Connection Dialog. I clicked on Test Connection, it connected okay. I finally clicked on Okay to connect.

More 401 error help with developer tool

Ok so last night I posted about getting this 401 authentication error whenever I tried to download the SDK.   I fixed my problem by creating a new developer account.   That let me download the sdk.   Now this morning when I'm ready to try some sample code from the SDK I can't seem to stay authenticated in the developer tool at https://afcs.acrobat.com/ or https://cocomo.acrobat.com/.   Any time I try to do something like download the sdk again, or add a room it tells me I'm not authenticated.   If I refresh the page it asks me to login again.
I've tried this with flash player 10 in safari, firefox, and ie.   Then I downgraded to flash player 9 and tried again in IE.    Has anyone else gone through this?   Is there just something simple that I'm missing here?
Thank you,
Eric

Wow thanks for the fast response I really appreciate it.   I used
HTTPLiveHeaders to capture me going to https://afcs.acrobat.com.   Then I
logged in as [email protected]   After I was logged in I clicked on the
download sdk link.   I've attached the header results in a file.   I don't
really have an afcs applications yet I just started this yesterday (although
I've been doing a lot of flex development).
I was able to download the sdk once when I create a new account and once out
of the many times I tried to login today.
Thanks!
Eric

Older versions of Developer Tools?

I am a Mac newbie. I'm also a newbie at Java (just getting ready to start teaching myself). I have a G3 Blue Clamshell laptop with 192 megs of RAM and I'm running 10.3.12. I can't run the latest version of OS X because it requires at least 256 RAM. I've tried installing Java142Update1Tools.dmg but it says it can't install because I don't have the Developer Tools installed. But I can't find the version of Developer Tools that will work on my computer. I haven't been able to find any links to the older versions of the Developer Tools and/or XCode.
Does anyone know where I can find these? Thanks in advance for any and all information you can give.

I'm fairly sure you want Xcode 1.5. It may be on your 10.3 disks already, or you can download it from here:
http://connect.apple.com
Log in (get a free online membership if you don't have one) and go to Downloads, then Developer tools. Search for "v1.5" (no quotes) and you'll be in the right place. Warning, it is pretty huge (372 MB).

Good tutorial book for non-flash developer?

I need to learn flex for our company. I am a .NET developer
although I have used Flex 1.0 before and was doing well with it. I
am by no means a flash developer, so I'm looking for a good
beginner to intermediate book for someone who is looking more at
flex application development rather than design.
I need a book that focuses more on database/XML/webservice
integration and not something that focuses SOLEY on rich GUI's.
Yes, I would like for the book to focus also on design, but not
have that purely be the focus.
What do you all recommend? Thanks!
Ryan

I found the book Adobe Fex 2 Training from the Source VERY
helpful. I read and did everything and am also finding it useful as
a reference. One reason I liked it is that it takes you through an
appliation step by step refining the application over time as you
"discover" more succinct/efficient ways to do things (e.g. making
components and a more reusable design). It takes you through
multiple ways to get at server stuff too. I also highly recommend
reading the Cairngorm articles posted on Adobe's website to help
you get off on the right foot using good design principles for
Flex.
P.S. I am very much a newbie myself and am still climbing the
learning curve.

Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 10 Technical Preview

Hi, I've never developed a plugin for Office before. I've downloaded the technical preview of Windows 10 and have it running via Boot Camp on my MacBook (Looks good! I'll buy it when it comes out). Obviously with this being in beta it's understandable that
there are problems, so this is just a heads up on one particular problem. Maybe there's already a solution or workaround?
I've downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, brought a copy of Microsoft Office Home And Student 2013 and am currently in the process of installing Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013.
The only problem though is that when I try to install it I get the following message:
http://s22.postimg.org/dxh1gtra9/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools.png
Here is the log:
http://pastebin.com/7wWkSfjF
I also tried to download the file directly and run that.
http://s3.postimg.org/tj9vb660j/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools2.png
I right clicked on the file and noticed an options called "Troubleshoot Compatibility". There was a wizard, and I ran through the wizard a number of times through different routes but none of them worked. I was unable to find the option which turned
off compatibility mode. I then searched for answers online which told me to do some things in the regedit program but that didn't seem to solve the problem.
Anyway, I understand that this is a beta version of Windows 10 and that there are going to be problems but thought it would be best to let you know. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and buy Windows 8.
Many thanks,
Lawrence

Hi,
The newest and default version of Eclipse is Galileo which is version 3.5.x
According to the Widget development guide, widget developer tool covers Eclipse 3.3.x (Europa) and 3.4.x (Galileo).
The problem is solved by downloading one of those versions from http://wiki.eclipse.org/Older_Versions_Of_Eclipse and installing widget development tools.

Is it because I am using Eclipse 3.3.2 and not 3.3.0? If yes from where I can download Eclipse 3.3.0
Edited by: ankur malhotra on Jul 25, 2008 7:36 AM

Hi Ankur,
This happens sometimes because of the Eclipse that you use. Download the Eclipse JEE Version. When you go to eclipse.org and try to download eclipse you can do a comparision of the versions there, You download the version which supports all the web features.
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/ganymeder
Check the above link you will be able to see the package details. Please download this Java IDE for EE developers and try installing the SAP widgets foundation then, If you are facing any problems in installing the plugins thru local archived site please let me know.

Tns problem with Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools

I installed the full
Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio
now I am at the good old "[ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified]" error.
I copied the same tnsnames.ora as used on the db server
onto the client "C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\Network\Admin".
The host name is right since a normal ping works. TNSping is not available.
but I get the [ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified] error.
The listener is running and the instance as well since it all works on the source server.
I tried it with
SET path=c:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\bin
but tnsping is still not recognized.
sqlplus works on the other hand when I set it to
SET path=c:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\
what is going on...

hey
u can post your query here, and i think everyone here is to share opinion so do not hesitate to do so and please try to google before posting here,
and we know no one is expert like some people saying 'boring questions' you just try to overcome your problem and you will definitly get your problem solved .
some mpeople ar still there who answeres hopeless questions and say nothing about them but when a fresher askin a qustion is not tolarated by them they think everyone is born DBA here
they always tend to discouraging people here on forums,and i think they are vvolunteers to reduce crowd here on forums, inspite of there experience and people respect them they can not control their anger
so please post you tns here, i think there are ways to ask people to google and search docs first, but not like this
thanks and regards

I'm ready to drop Firefox because Scratchpad repeatedly opens anytime I have to Capitalize anything and at no time have I ever used the Web Developer tool

Have used Firefox for many years on multiple computers. On the home desktop, anytime you need to CAP a letter, Scratchpad opens instead. Every single time!
This is only having on this one computer, none of the others.
I have completely uninstalled, cleaned and purged Firefox from this computer multiple times. I have run multiple virus checks. I have done the Firefox reset multiple upon multiple times.
Yesterday I completely uninstalled every scrap related to Firefox I could find on the system, did a system clean to get rid of hidden and duplicate files, and with what I hoped was a clean system, reinstalled the latest version of FF. Same problem.
WHY is Scratchpad coming up anytime I hit the Shift key?
Somehow the developer tools and Scratchpad still show up and ultimately the problems start again.

Hello Mark,
I can understand your frustration with this issue - especially after you are running into this issue after resetting your computer too.
Can you please check if the scratchpad comes up, if you disable the setting ''devtools.scratchpad.enabled'' by setting the value to false. You can do this by following the instructions in the Mozillazine about modifying the configuration of Mozilla [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config Editing About:Config]
Thank you
