Querying a Flash Lite content type running in the player

In the current Flash Lite specs, it's not possible to query
the content
type that is running from within the Flash Lite player
(wallpaper,
screensaver, standalone, etc).
My questions:
1.) Is this something that can be (easily) implemented in the
next rev
of Flash Lite? I can think of a few use cases where this
might be
(potentially) useful.
Basically, this would allow for a detect mechanism, and thus
provide a
way to disable or enable functionality within content based
on how it is
being run (based on the content-type detected).
For example, if FL content is run as a screensaver, no custom
softkey
navigation would appear. However, if run as standalone
content, a custom
UI might appear ... say giving the user the option to quit,
get more
info, etc.
I am posting here to see if others would be interested in
such
functionality.
2.) From my tests, I don't think the FL content type is
inserted into
the Flash Lite SWF header, but can it be? Injecting meta data
into SWF's
is tricky business ... does it make sense to add this
functionality in
the next rev of Flash Lite? ... again, this info might be
useful in some
content use cases, which tie back to #1.
Thoughts?

I could see some strong potential FL improvements by opening
this door. This could be very useful in the sense that developers
could then #include a single .as file that would act as a master
library regardless of content type.
Another feature that ties into this that I would love would
be FL version detection. Granted, this file could sort of be
created with FS2 command detection. But still, creating one library
file that covers all user input methods would be very nice.
To take this a step further, could this also detect what
edition a phone is? Again, this could be done with via a
WURFL, but that is a huge
pain (not to mention memory intensive). It would be sweet if my
code could (simply) detect a 3rd edition series 60 Nokia and
automatically build in controls for screen rotation and soft key
repositioning.
To sum up, I agree with you Scott. Btw—nice to see you
in the forums.

New flash lite content

Hi all,
just a quick note for anyone that's interested...
SMS.ac are offering $100 for flash content from developers
new to their system.
I've spoken to them directly, and whilst their 'mobile pods'
aren't currently supported on mobiles, flash lite content IS
accepted as they are trying to get it working on mobile at the
moment so they want content for when they are ready.
if you are interested here is the email of who to speak to
for details...

and it's only for your first swf)

How do customers download Flash-Lite content

Hi,
I'm looking at making Flash-Lite content (.swfs) available to
customers for things such as company brochures.
One thing i'm not sure of is how do customers get or download
the content onto their phone. Obviously tey could down load it to
their phone from a website or email.
My question is how do you set it up so a customer could say
request a Flash-Lite movie and have it download striaght to their
phone?
Any help greatfully received.

Hi ,
in addition, if you need to have billing system (like, for
games that are not freely distributed), it works just like with
J2ME content. The user writes a SMS to shortcode number, send that
to the billing system (server), and a SMS is returned (from
server), with a link to the content (.swf). Opening that link
downloads the .swf and starts it.
We tested this some time ago: set up a server, and tested on
different finnish carrier/operator SIMs -- no problems.

How to update content types enheriting from the System Page Content type

After importing a design package I found out that my content types was missing some columns. I could add the missing columns to my "page" and "Article Page" site content type. When adding the exisiting columns I could choose to update
everything that inherits from this type:
This is working. However I still miss 2 columns in the "Page" Content type:
1. Rollup Image
2. Hide physical URLs from search
If I roll back my dev environment I can see that these are inherited from the "System Page" content type which is not editable. The columns are in the "System Page" content type but They are gone in "Page" content type that
should inherit the columns.
So how do I update these?
Thanks

Hi Alex,
Thank you for replying. I totally agree with you regarding not to modify the OOB content types. The content types I have created/modified is also my own "new" content types.
However the designpackage import messed up the OOB content types somehow so I'm only trying to get back to the state before the import. The only thing I see is still missing is the two previously mentioned columns in the "page" content type.
Do you have any other suggestions in how to get back to the "OOB State"?
Thank you
Update: this is my page content type. It's not set to read only so it should update the last two missing columns from its parent (system page content type) right?

InfoPath 2010 - How to connect to another content type form from the current form with a click of a button?

I have two different form library forms for each different content type published to the same Form Library. I like to know if by a click of a button, if I could close the current form and jump to the next and vice versa? If so, what steps
would I need to take using OOB technology?
Thank you,
SRAEngineer

Hi Guru:
Thanks. However, the Views do not work in my case, as one form has different required fields than the other and set of fields also changes a bit for each form.
However, researching more I have been able to find the solution since I posted this request.
I will try to describe the Solution:
First I deployed both the forms to a SharePoint Form Library. Then I opened the template from the advanced settings and copied the URL from the top search box of IE.
Went back to the design view of the form, highlighted the writings/title of the form and right clicked to paste the hyperlink.
Quick published it again and now the hyperlink is working active/live in the deployed form as well and doing its job to get to the next form. I repeated the process to the other form to do a toggle.
Thank you for your input though.
Regards,
SRA

Error while adding content type fields in the EditForm.aspx for an customlist item.

This is office 365. I have content type which is attached to custom list.
Added new site column "CustomerAction" which was added to Content type, now when I added this field in the EDITForm.aspx using the SharePoint designer, this form is called when the custom list item is being edited.
But when I added this extra field to EDITFORM.aspx it is giving error,. the standard correlationid error.
Can anyone suggest, what could be problem !
Thanks

Labhesh Shrimali

Hi Labhesh,
When we add the site column to the content type, there is an option to update the all
content types which inheriting from this type.
If we set this to Yes, then the site column will be added to the list where the content type or its child content type has been used and this column will be added to the EDITFORM.aspx too.
So we don’t need to re-add this site column to EDITFORM.aspx.
Thanks,

How do I add a content Type (PDF) to the Applications in Firefox preferences

Hello George,
This tutorial should step you through the basic process of configuring the device and connecting the thermocouple:
Tutorial: Connect Thermocouples to a Data Acquisition (DAQ) Device
http://www.ni.com/gettingstarted/setuphardware/dataacquisition/thermocouples.htm#Connecting a Thermocouple to Your Device
From there, there are a number of things you can do- I'd recommend taking a look at the LabVIEW shipping examples (Help>>Find Examples...) as well as the DAQmx getting started tutorials:
Getting Started with NI-DAQmx: Main Page
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5434/en
At first glance, the 6363 you're using should have enough resolution to acquire usable data from a thermocouple- if you attempt reading raw voltages be sure that the acquisition range is configured for +/- 0.1V, though.

Tom L.

Preset default value of DropDown based on Content Type selection in the SharePoint 2010 library

Hi,
I have three site content types (Admin, Technical & Well) derived from base content type "Base" and added this content types to "Documents" library. I also have one site column "Category"(Dropdown) with values (Admin, Technical
& Well) which is available in all the content types.
Now, when i try to create a document based on "Admin" content type then "Category" value should be preset to "Admin", similarly when i select "Technical" content type then "Category" should be preset to "Technical"
and same with "well".
Can some one provide me how i can achieve this?
I am working in the SharePoint 2010 environment.
Regards,
Chakradhar

My understanding is that , you have to display the category in all the content types.
So in that case create a content type like
Create a base content type -- with column category.
Create a Admin content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in admin content.
Create a Technical content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in Technical content type.
Create a Well content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in Well content type.

Protocols or COntent type used by the iPod Maps app

I use the Map app on my iPod Touch (2G) all the time. Today I am on vacation and in spite of the fact that I have good WiFi connectivity, two apps will not function at all: The NY Times reader and the Apple Maps app. While you can use Safari to bring up the NY Times website (http://www.nytimes.com) and Google maps (http://maps.google.com), you cannot bring up http://mobile.nytimes.com in Safari.
I believe the local WatchGuard Firewall at this resort is filtering out certain types of content it believes may be somehow destructive. I can see the error message: Unsafe content type "application/xhtml+xml" reported when attempting to access mobile.nytimes.com
As far as the Maps app goes, one cannot bring up any bookmark nor determine one's current location, viz., "Your location cannot be determined." after some delay. I understand that in certain circumstances the message simply implies that the WiFi access point in use may never have been mapped, but the inability to look up any known good arbitrary address implies to me a communications problem.
Anyone know what protocol and/or content type may be is use by the Maps app?

If you want to create a message that has both plain text and html versions of the main
message content, you want to create a multipart/alternative message, as described in
this FAQ entry.
If that message also needs to have attachments, you should embed the multipart/alternative
part in a multipart/mixed message, along with the attachment parts.
If the html part needs to reference images included with the message, you would replace
the text/html part with a multipart/related part, as described in this FAQ entry.
Combining all these techniques together can seem a bit complicated unless you understand
recursion! :-) Remember that in addition to creating a body part with a text content type,
you can create a body part with a multipart content type, and use that body part in the same
places you would use a text body part.
As for making sure your message isn't marked as spam, well, you're probably asking in the
wrong place, but the simple answer is to make sure that it's actually not spam! Usually the
structure of the message isn't as important as the content of the message.

Cant delete orphaned content type, it says : "The content type is part of an application feature."

I created site from existing site template that previous vendor working with company created. I could figure that they saved site as template and when you do that sharepoint creates sandboxed solution. When I create site based on that template, it adds orphaned
content type and when I try to delete it, it gives error : "The content type is part of an application feature.".
I looked on internet but solutions dont seem to fit in my scenario.
Following are possible solutions I read on net.
1) Deactivate feature that has content type and all dependencies for content type and then delete content type --- In my case there is no feature in feature galary that you can deactivate as it is part of site template.
2)Get the WSP and edit in visual studio, I am working on client machine and I do not have access to sharepoint server. When I try to create new visual studio project with "Import sharepoint solution package", it says Sharepoint server is not installed
on this computer. I tried to get Microsoft.Sharepoint dll from Microsoft virtual lab but I can only work on web client and windows client doesnt work. Web client is not letting me copy files into my local desktop.
Any suggestions ? I just need to take that content type out and generate WSP and upload it back

Below is how I recreated problem , my findings and solution to this problem (Everything is done through Sharepoint UI)
Problem :
Create site and create custom content type using sharepoint UI.
Save site as template.
Use above template to create new site.
New site contains orphaned content type, when you try to delete that unnecessary content type sharepoint gives error: The content type is part of an application feature. Sharepoint will not let you delete this content type.
Delete original site from which template was created.
Findings:
When you save site as template, sharepoint creates and activates Sandboxed solution in solution gallery of Root Site.
Sandbox solution has same name that you gave when saving site as template.
Activation of Sandboxed solution adds feature having name of original site from which template was created, and this is Site Collection Feature. I could not find any site feature for it and also I could not find any site feature for custom content type
as well. I think when you create content type through Sharepoint UI, it doesnt create site feature for that.
Deactivating site collection feature for that site template doesn't let you delete that orphaned content type from newly created site.
Solution:
If you deactivate Sandboxed solution from Solutions gallery, it will remove corresponding site collection feature as well as that orphaned content type from site. Reactivating that solution doesn't add orphaned content type back to newly created site.
Above process only deletes orphaned content type from newly created existing site but you will have same problem when you create more new sites from that site template.
I would say once your problem is fixed with deleting content type, solution is to replace site template. In this way newly created sites wont have same problem again.

When useing Adobe Flash in for example youtube. The player will get more and more delays when using the player tools untill firefox freezes for about 10 sec.

After freezing the player's delay will be reset to 0. I can replicate this "crash" by just moving my mouse on the youtube progress bar and see the delay building up. This only happens when firefox is my main window.

please make sure that firefox.exe, plugin-container.exe and FlashPlayerPlugin_*.exe aren't blocked or sandboxed in any way by your security software or in case this doesn't work either try switching your AV provider (I'd recommend microsoft's security essentials, it is quite reliable and lightweight) or [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-doesnt-load-video-firefox#w_solution-2-downgrade-flash downgrade to flash version 10.3].

TS1702 problems with flash based products not running on the ipad 2

I have problems viewing certain web pages in safari, getting the message that the laatest version of flash player is not loaded, does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Re: content types: what is the protocol of "file" and the content type of m

The protocol is the string that goes before the "://", so for files it would be "file".
Your guess for mpegs is correct, and you can check MIME types here.
shmoove

Pretty much any number or a space character. Punctuation does too, in theory, but I'd advise to limit it to hyphens and underscores. Periods are OK in the middle of file names but you won't be able to start a file name with one at the Finder level since that would actually hide the file.
