Newbie Question: Can Flash do this?

I would like to make some movies (whatever format would load
the quickest on a website and produce the smallest file size) that
show the stroke order and formation of Chinese characters.
The viewer would see something like an animated GIF that
shows the character being formed on the screen
Can Flash be used in conjunction with a Wacom Tablet (or
mouse, for that matter) to do this? If so, how would I do this--I'm
a total newbie with Flash.
If it can't can anyone suggest a program that could do this??
I have the Adobe Master Collection, so I have access to all the
programs.
Thanks.

Flash can do it, but not quite the way you're approaching it,
I think. I would start with the complete character on the stage and
use a series of animated masks to reveal the strokes in sequence,
to make them 'appear' like they are being drawn.
There are some other ways to go about this as well, but this
would be the simplest by far.

Question: Can Flash Player Cause BSoDs?

Hi, I'm new to the forum and actually signed up mostly to ask this question.
I've had my laptop for over 18 months (19 now actually), and over the course of using it I may have had one - maybe 3 BSoD's max, but in the past 3-4 days, I've had 10 at least. Things I've noticed:
-The number of BSoD's increased after I got both Microsoft Security Essentials AND McAfee, which is a possible cause.
-I doubt it's a browser issue, because although the issue initially started in Chrome (not my default browser but the main one I've been using nevertheless), I've also had this experience in Firefox and IE10.
-Blue Screens can happen at anytime but almost always happen after 7 pm, hasn't happened before then in a while (including in the past few days).
-The BSoD doesn't happen by me just being on the computer, the computer idling, or me being on the internet; the minute I open applications/pages that require Adobe Flash Player (i.e. Pinger Textfree) I will get a blue screen within 3-5 minutes tops. After I reboot the system, I don't get another one until I reopen the application.
-Error when I reboot: Worker Thread Bad at IRQL. I've been doing research on this error and it could be having MSE and McAfee like I mentioned earlier, but I would prefer to first confirm that it more than likely isn't Flash Player since there's evidence to suggest it is.
-My system is Windows 7 Premium, 64 bit, 8 GB Ram, 640 GB Hard Drive, 2.4 GHz i5 intel processor. Something to note; I noticed that prior to today, the Flash Player I had installed was a 32 bit version. I've since been trying to see if I can install the 64 bit version.
Also, sorry I have not posted the Minidump files or any other reference files, just posted the scenario, I suppose to see if I'm the only one with this issue and/or if I should eliminate this possibility as the cause of my blue screens.
Thank you!
EDIT: I've also been scanning for viruses, and have found none.

NewBie Question: Can you make a website completely with Java?

Greetings my new Fellow Java programmers. My name is Jason and I am a computer programmer and web developer. I am verse in the following:
1. HTML/XHTML
2. CSS
3. Asp.net
4. VB.Net
5. SQL
I want to expand my skills to include:
1.JAVA
2. Action Script
3. Java Script
4. Ajax
I have always wanted to learn Java and now I think it is the right time. So my question is can you create a site complete with Java or have a majority of the site functions and look attributed to Java? Is it similar to creating a site with vb.net and asp.net which utilizes html as well? Please explain. I am eager to learn this language. Thank you.

I find it strange that you have to ask this. Of course the end result will be HTML/XHTML, that's what the browsers want. I would think that if you know the .NET side of web development, these concepts (client/server technologies) should already be clear to you.
The short answer is yes it is possible. However if you want to learn Ajax/Javascript/Actionscript, I would learn those technologies before you learn Java web development as they are completely unrelated. You know that Javascript is not Java, right? You can implement javascript/Ajax in your .NET web applications already.
Before you want to learn Java web development, learn Java. Seriously, learn basic Java first. It will be a great deal harder (and ultimately a lot more frustrating) to jump directly into the web development side of Java without knowing any of the basics. One of the biggest differences between .NET and Java platforms is that Microsoft basically holds your hand when it comes to making decision about which APIs to use and how to attack a problem; Java leaves you to the wolves to select from a gigantic amount of APIs and tools available that can each solve a problem in their very own way. Freedom is great, but it can be very daunting when you are just beginning.
So before you even think about web development, I suggest you explore the java tutorial and see if you can get to grips with the language and the tool set.
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/]
When you are comfortable with the Java language and you are sure that Java web/enterprise development is still something for you, then come back and ask the question again.

Can flash do this?

Hi
does anyone know if i can do this in flash? i need to draw
complex 3D images that can rotate on all axis, but also be able to
zoom in to items within images, for example a bolt within a tube,
which is in a lawnmower, and then add code to allow it to work
within in a ecommece website, so the image parts can be added to a
existing shopping cart system?
The images will be used like in Solidworks so you can zoom
into a part within a part, and the zoomed through part, becomes
tranparent
hope ive explained it well enough,

Yes, it's not for a novice user for sure. It will take some
decently qualified programmer.
I'm building a project very similar to this right now.

Complete newbie question - Can BI consume web services?

Post Author: Steve Lamont
CA Forum: Data Integration
I am working on a new client site working on integration between a whole slew of systems including CRM, billing, BI etc. The client is architecting a SOA oriented approach to all integration where it make sense. As part of the effort, a new BI database is being built and loaded via some ETL tool. The primary interface to access this new BI data will be business objects (BO). Now, in the current environments, there are multiple, disparate BI systems containing various data. The BO knowledge person (and he is not a business object employee) on this site is claiming that to access these other BI databases, he wants to do it by sending out requests via service calls. I fully understand that BO itself can be set up to be a service provider and provide services for other consumers to take advantage of, but how does BO itself consume services provided by other applications?
Obviously I don't fully understand BO, but my initial inclination is that this approach is wrong. If data is required from these other BI source, wouldn't they be configured as data sources within business objects? This BO guy claims that calling web services is more efficient that direct peer-to-peer calls via the database drivers.
Can any share some comments on this situation?

CA Forum: Data Integration
You posted your question to the wrong forum, please try to post it to one of the subforums in "Enterprise Reporting, Query & Analysis".
This forum is about Data Integrator, Business Objects ETL tool.
I'll try to answer your question anyway with my reporting background From what I know, YES we can consume web services in reports (Crystal reports), but for larger volumes of data a direct access to the database would be faster. A webservice approach might make sense if the webservice implements some business logic (semantic layer) which would be easier then to go directly to the tables.
And just for the record : also Data Integrator can consumer web services...

Beginners question - can BlazeDS do this?

I am looking at BlazeDS to see if it is suitable for my project. I have a Java application that provides a service and I know I can install Blaze into that application. What I also want to do is provide a Flash client that I can give to people so that the Flash client can communicate with my Java application. When I give the Flash client to people they won't be installing it on a server with any specific configuration - it will simply sit in a HTML page, on its own with no blaze specific support (no additional jars, no Blaze config etc.). Will the Flash client be able to communicate with my Java app using BlazeDS? My research so far tells me it won't work as the Flash client needs the BlazeDS code base. Is that correct?

I think I have found that it is actually possible. I installed the BlaseDS turnkey version and copied the samples/testdrive-webservice/index.html to ~/Desktop/index-test.html and then modified a few parameters and it seems to work fine. The only parameter in the whole file that I need to change is the:
// if we've detected an acceptable version
// embed the Flash Content SWF when all tests are passed
AC_FL_RunContent(
        "src", "main",
which becomes :
// if we've detected an acceptable version
// embed the Flash Content SWF when all tests are passed
    AC_FL_RunContent(
            "src", "http://localhost:8400/samples/testdrive-webservice/main",
and that was it. It looks like I should also change the references to main.swf to point to the same location and also the AC_OETags.js in the header but they were't required in this case.

Newb question: can anyone tell me what these Speedfan temps mean???

I just built my first PC (P6N SLI-FI board and Core 2 Duo 6420 chip) and I've got a few questions about cooling (I'm using the stock cooler and the thermal paste that came with the chip):
1. I installed Speedfan, but I'm not sure what each temp refers to. After having the machine run Windows XP for a minute or two, here are my approximate readings (all in degrees Celsius, obviously):
Temp1= 23
Temp2= 30
Temp3= 145 (I think this is an error due to lack of a sensor)
HD0 = 23
Core0 = 23
Core1 = 23
After playing Neverwinter Nights 2 for about an hour, Temp2 reaches about 45 (all of the other readings are lower, somewhere in the 30s I think, but I can't remember for sure).
2. I'm going to be using my computer mostly for gaming. What temps should I try to stay below? Should I think about using Artic Silver 5? (I really wanted to use it when I put the machine together, but I wimped out because I was worried about voiding the warranty with Intel )

Quote from: Snaggly Pete on 24-May-07, 23:09:08
Thanks for the info. So, none of the temperatures I've listed represent the ambient temperature? How do I find out what the ambient temperature is?
The temp in my house was probably about 70F (I didn't actually check at the time) when I measured those temperatures and yes core0 and core1 were roughly 23C. Again, I only had the computer on for a minute or two when I checked SpeedFan.
Sorry for the delay in responding to your question!
As far as case temperature, I've gone as far as suspending a household thermometer in the vicinity of the HS fan.
Fact: It is impossible for any air-cooling solution to cool the processor below the temperature of the intake airflow. Air cooling solutions, as well as liquid cooling solutions, rely on convection (+conduction and radiation) to transfer the heat off of the CPU. The amount of heat the air mass/flow can absorb is limited by the temperature of the air mass, volume and partial pressure across the heatsink(s). Except for the short time the HS is transitioning from a cooler, non-operational state, where the HS may be cooler than the incoming airflow caused by a newly started system, to the operational state with both case temperature and CPU temperature increasing, the temperature of the HS will always be above the temperature of the surrounding air.
So, given a 70F/21C room temp, you should expect the 'system' (mobo) and core temperatures to be at or probably slightly above 21C if you check Hardware Monitor in BIOS immediately and as much as 10 - 15 degrees C higher by the time you check them in the OS. Again, those figures may be lower or higher by a few degrees depending on the HS/HSF used.
Remember, when evaluating operating temps, always use the delta between case temperature and core temperature (or whichever system temp) rather than the temperature in question on its own. Say you are given two systems that use all the same components except the cooling solution. System A uses air-cooling solution 'Ace' and has a case temperature of 38C with core temps of 43C on each core, while System B uses cooling solution 'Best' and has a case temperature of 23C and core temps of 34C. Which is the better solution?
The answer is probably TEC.

Newb Question: Can someone explain what a bus is in layman's terms?

What is a bus and how is it helpful? Sorry for my ignorance. I am going to get the videos as soon as I save up. Purchasing this new Mac Pro wiped me out.

busses allow you to route several tracks to the same fader, where you can apply effects or change volume simultaneously.

Newbie question: Can't get equal object widths

I have two rectangle paths in my document. I don't remember exactly how I created them but as far as I can tell, they are very alike, same fill, no stroke. They are two vertical sides of a rectangular border around the perimiter of my doc.
I would like to change the widths to be identical. Width/height proportion constraints are off. I enter the width of one object in the width field of the other, and the width changes but to some unpredictable number. I can put in a new number again and the width changes to something new but not what I want. I have tried to use different units, same result. I have no problem changing the heights of the corresponding horizontal paths to be the numbers I want.
There is one visible difference between the paths: When the troubling path is selected, the blue outline around it is wider than on the other paths.
I ended up throwing away the trouble path and copying the good one as a work-around. But I'd like to know what's going on, I assume I'm missing something basic.
Hope somebody can help.

With the rectangle tool (hotkey: M)
Hold [Alt] and click where you want your rectangle to be centered. A window will appear with the height and width options.
If it's all symmetrical, I would then use the Reflect tool, or Rotate tool to make a copy, where I wanted. With either tool, hold [Alt] and click the point you wish to rotate around. Check the preview box to make sure you have the right outcome, and then select the Copy option to finalize.
If you are selecting one rectangle at a time and entering the new width into the Transform Panel, I am unsure what is happening.
(Note: Instead of increasing the width, in the transform panel, by replacing 128 px with 256 px ▬ you have the option to add to the original number,
so it would look like this: 128+128 px [it also works for decreasing, with subtraction])
To select and scale two objects, in place, at the same time:
Object→ Transform→ Transform each

Newbie Question: Can't Remove Text Outline

I'm modifying an existing Flash project and am having trouble
removing an outline around text. I don't see any property that
controls this effect (although I am new to Flash so I probably
don't know where to find it).
It looks like this notice (the gray outline):
click here
I've tried deleting the text box entirely and just typing
again but the outline is still visible.
Thanks for any insight.

Try clicking on the text box, than click on the Filters tab
in the Property
Inspector.
There may be some sort of filter on the text that is adding a
stroke or
shadow or something around the text.
(NOTE: Filters only appear in Flash 8 and CS3 files if I
remember right)

Newbie question: Can't get 100% black

I have created text. When it prints, I am getting 4 color plates. I filled with foreground color that is 100% black. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.
Photoshop 9.0.2; Mac OS 10.4.8; System: PowerPC G5

In CMYK, you can render black 2 ways: as "rich black" (made up of all four plates), or "black-only" (made up of black ink only.)
When you say you created the text with "foreground color... 100% black", that probably means you used Photoshop's default colors - black and white. If you open the color picker and look at how the default black is made, you'll see that it's a combination of C, M, Y and K.
If you are creating the file in CMYK mode, you can open the color picker, enter 0/0/0/100 in the CMYK fields, and fill your type or shape. You'll have 100% black and no other colors.
If you're creating your file in RGB, you're SOL. When you convert to CMYK, all black will be converted to rich black using the CMYK build as defined by the CMYK profile to which you're converting. In that case, you would have to go back into the CMYK file and manually fix all the elements that are supposed to be black-only.
It's a rather nasty can of worms. This is one of the things that keeps an RGB workflow from being accepted universally by the prepress community. There are tools available (Alwan, etc.) that will preserve black-only elements as the file gets converted from RGB to CMYK, but they are not widely used yet.

Web Architecture Question- Can I do this?

I have an application which is using cookies and client variable to process/track user activity in a cluster-server environment. A user basically is able to see one client at a time and each client has its own database. I know if you have multiple email accouts in Hotmail, Yahoo, etc, you can only access one at time in the same manner.
BUT I am wondering if there is a way for the user to access multiple clients at the "same time", meaning, one browser page is client A, one browser page is client B, one browser page is client C, etc. If the user has the access right to all clients, logically he can open any two or more clients and does his CRUD.
Can this be achieved?
Thanks

Hi
Actually I thought of a way you could do this without special codes you have to track.
All you have todo is manually set path cookie values for CFID and CFTOKEN, and use URL rewriting (mod_rewrite for apache, or isapi rewrite for iis).
In your cfapplication tag you can disable the automatic creation of the cookie values for CFID and CFTOKEN:
<cfapplication setclientcookies="no" ......
Then create the cookies with something like this (this example assume clientmanagement is being used):
<cfif not IsDefined("Cookie.CFID") or Cookie.CFID eq "">
<cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFID=#client.CFID#;HTTPOnly;path=/clientXXX/">
<cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFTOKEN=#client.CFTOKEN#;HTTPOnly;path=/clientXXX/">
</cfif>
clientXXX different for every different client instance you like. Then all you need is a super simple URL rewrite removing the clientXXX part.
So the browers url might look like: http://www.yousite.com/clientXXX/index.cfm, the server will actually serve the request from http://www.yousite.com/index.cfm. But the cookie will be set for www.yousite.com/clientXXX and not www.yousite.com
