Question about text rendering in flash authoring tool and in flash player.

Hi everyone, i have found that:
1. There has a subtle difference between a static text field in flash authoring tool which has been set to use the device font when it's got focus(state that user can type character in) and lose focus;
2. There also has a subtle difference between when it is being rendered in flash player and in flash authoring tool.
(Note that the key factor here is setting the text field to use device font.)
I want to know what causes this difference. Thanks in advance!

both in flash authoring tool not flash player.

Some question about fade in // fade out by hideEffect and showEffect in Actionscript

Some question about fade in // fade out by hideEffect and
showEffect in Actionscript
Please kindly take a look at the following page:
http://camusmiu.no-ip.com/HounganQuestion/PictureHolderTest.html
(can view source)
I tried to make an image preloaded and scale the image to
it's preferred size.
When I came to consolidate the stuff into a component, I
found the application goes weird as I implementation the show/hide
effect.
The third trial which just hide and show the images directly,
instead of using viewstack, fail to bring the second image onto
screen.
It just used fadeOut instead of fadeIn(you see there is a
flash of the second image)
After some study of showEffect and hideEffect behaviour,
seems the mechanism of hide/show a component works in this way:
this._fadeIn:Fade = new Fade();
this._fadeIn.alphaFrom = 0;
this._fadeIn.alphaTo = 1;
this._fadeIn.duration = 1000;
this._fadeOut:Fade = new Fade();
this._fadeOut.alphaFrom = 1;
this._fadeOut.alphaTo = 0;
this._fadeOut.duration = 1000;
Component_A.visible = true;
Component_A.setStyle("showEffect", this._fadeIn);
Component_A.setStyle("hideEffect", this._fadeOut);
then when I set Component_A.visible = false, the sequence
works like following:
Component_A.visible = true
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 100;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 50;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 0;
Component_A.visible = false;
The above sequence works visa versa as:
Component_A.visible = false;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 0;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 50;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 100;
Component_A.visible = true;
(Correct me if i am wrong)
========================================================================================== ====
From what I observe from the application, I have two
question.
1) When more than one component using the this._fadeIn,
this_fadeOut as the hide/show effects, the component in instance of
this._fadeIn? will it mess out if more than one component using the
fadeIn instance in the same time?
2) from the third component, i.e. PictureHolder3, when I load
other the picture , it fade out the new image instead of fading
in... Seems there is problem if I hide show too frequent. I think
when I hide then show right the way, the component only do the hide
part...
Can someone pls look into it and tell me what I did wrong?
Cuz in normal practice I don't think appropriate to use ViewStack
in Actionscript...

Hello Jack,
Currently, you can only import an swf file or you can embed videos from youtube, vimeo etc. into Muse / add HTML5 Video to Your Website.
Take a look at these simple videos that explain the currently available processes for adding videos in Muse, in a step by step method:

Staff? Text rendering incompatibility Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6 Websafe fonts render issue

Text rendering incompatibility
Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6
Websafe fonts render poorly when on top of a
‘Browser Fill’ has ‘Image added’ and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
or when
Any ‘composition is set below the text and composition is set to ‘pin’
Comparison Web safe fonts render
Chrome = all good
Firefox = all good
Safari running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad
As mentioned these are websafe font / also occurs with self/hosted fonts
unfortunately client is viewing on Ipad that is non retina and uses Safari.
Any work around?
Thanks
Milton

Hi Zak
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have been reviewing this issue on a number of screens an Browsers – I realise the huge hassle of compatibility comments.
Below links and further explanation and screen shots
Thanks again
Milton
Web safe fonts (e.g. helvetica / arial) render poorly when:
Any ‘composition’ is set below the text and the 'composition' is set to ‘pin’
See first scroll page at www.edehorton.com
The top slideshow is 'pinned' and it is this action that creates the issue for text on the whole page.
It also occurs when text is on top of a ‘Browser Fill’ that has an ‘Image added’ and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
See first scroll page a www.edehorton.com/judaica.html
creates the issue for text on the whole page.
I can remedy these situations by ‘unpinning' the 'compostion’ or placing the ‘pinned' 'composition' above the text
or in the second instance by turning the ‘scrolling’ radio check button in ‘Browser fill’ on.
Screen snap shots below
Comparison 'Web safe font - Helvetica' plus 'Webfont' render
Chrome = all good / Firefox = all good /Safari running on ‘retina’ displays = all good Safari 5.06 on' non-retina' = all good
Safari 7.06 running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point. The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge. The initial green light shows a good charge. The red light means the battery is drained.
Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds. Then, turn it back ON. This resets the shuffle. Does it play again? If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again. Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays. Then, connect it to power and charge it to full. See if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery. If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.
If you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides

Graphics using graphic API are drawn below the loaded content created using Flash authoring tool

Here is my problem.
I am developing a Analog Dial component. Here , I am
extending UIComponent and loading a swf file generated using Flash
CS3 authoring tool ( the swf basically has the circle and needle)
and adding the loaded content as child of Dial class.
Next I use Graphics API to draw the major and minor ticks on
the dial.
As mentioned in the curveTo method of flash.display.Graphics
class documentation (
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/index.html),
if you are using graphics api and also loading content created
using the flash authoring environment the vector graphics will be
drawn underneath the loaded content.
Well , Is there any way to make the graphics appear on top of
the loaded contents?

It appears that this may be accomplished more easily if I do something similar to the StrobeMediaPlayback implementation. Looking at the StrobeMediaPlayback source code it looks like Adobe has done something a little different than their ControlBarPlugin, placing the controlbar and root media element inside separate MediaContainers and then adding those containers to the display list. Is this recommended over using the frameworks ParallelElements? If so, is communication between the control bar and root media element still a matter of just updating the target reference via metadata?

Question about get web service result in actionscript and convert data format

Hi, All
I have question about how to get dataset from web services
and put it in tree structure. I have 2 questions about this:
1, How can I get data correctly in actionscript?
I have no problem to get data by
<mx:ArrayCollection id="acFolder"
source="{mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(MyGServices.getFolder.lastResult)}"
/>
And display in datagrid.
But when I try to use
public function
handleFolderContents(event:mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent):void{
arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
acData=new ArrayCollection(arData);
input.text=acData.getItemAt(0).id;
Seems I can’t get data, it always say:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
2, how to convert data format
I get data from web service and want to convert it to tree
structure, as mention below:
I get:
<Array>
<id>111</id>
<Name>Production1</Name>
</Array>
<Array>
<id>222</id>
<Name>Production2</Name>
</Array>
Convert to:
<mx:XMLList id="treeData">
<node>
<node label="Production1" data="111">
<node label="Production2" data="222"/>
</node>
</node>
</mx:XMLList>
Please help me.
Thanks.

First, don't specify the package path in the argument
declaration. Instead import the event object:
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
The docs state this emphatically.
Second, try "lastResult", in place of "result":
arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.lastResult); // I am
not positive about this. I maybe recall reading that result was ok
for the event object, but maybe not.
Finally, why do you want to convert the xml? You certainly
could, but it would be a manual process, recursively reading the
existing xml nodes and building the new structure, but again, why?
Just use a labelFunction if necessary to display the nodes as
you wish.

Question about final format for integrated film clips and moving images in webpages created by Muse

About a year ago I gave up even trying to construct websites. There were too many new factors and technical aspects of correct scripts and coding to make it interesting for a designer with no interest in programming. It´s understandable that all new gadgets such as mobile surf panels, mobile internet on different cell phones, lap tops and stationary computers and a lot of different browsers made it impossible to run with just plain html. But when I found out that many viewers couldn´t even watch Flash movies or solutions with flash components I said enough is enough.
Now a while ago when HTML5 was released I heard that it made it possible to create films and almost identical content as with Flash films without using them. Bought some templates and realized that it really worked. So here are my questions:
What format does Adobe Muse CC use when I add films and stuff into it, and what format will come out of it when it´s an official website?
Do Adobe Muse CC convert film formats so they will be visualized correctly on the end viewers browser, computer or phone?
Will Adobe Muse CC advice me of what film or animation format will be the best for my viewers on the web or on a mobile internet?
Are there any guidelines available for how I shall save and export filmclips or animations before they are imported into Adobe Muse CC?
Regards
Jack

4 questions about the the top boxes - SD box and Home media DVR

Hello. I am going to be getting Fios soon and I have some questions about the boxes. I will be getting the Home Media DVR and 4 SD boxes.
1) Do these boxes have timers on them to set so the box can turn off at a certain time?
2) Do these boxes have parental control and if so is it good enough to block things that I do not want my child to see?
3) How many people can access the home media dvr at the same time to watch already recorded programs
4) If the Home Media DVR is in the family room can a record be started from the bedroom over the SD set top box (even an hd show)?
Thanks for any help.

I have been using two Standard Set Top Boxes for about a year. I have Parental Controls on and all channels locked. When I want to watch a channel, I tune to that channel, note the LOCKED message, which tells me to press the OK button to enter ther Parental Controls PIN and unlock the channel for viewing.
This has worked flawlessliy for the last year -- ON THE Standard STB's.
I just ordered the Home Media DVR STB to replace one of my Standardt STB..
On the Home Media DVR:
I can set the Parentals Control PIN and lock the channels, in the exact same way I did o nthe Standard STB's. However, when tuen to ANY channel, I still ge the LOCKED message and instructions to press OK to unlock the channel -- BUT no matter how I press the OK button, the Enter your Parental Conlrols PIN dialog box willl NOT open. Nothing happens -- you CAN NOT view any channel.
Again, it is the EXACT setup as for the Standard STB, but the OK button will NOT unlock any of the channels.
If you unlock all channels and LOCK the Ratings, the same problem recurs: OK buitton will never open the "enter your PIN" dialog box.
I have received two replacement boxes and have spent hours on the phone with some very capable and helpful Techs -- no luck.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Here's how to test your Home Media DVR:
1. Menu-Settings-Parental Controls.
2. You will be prompted to CREATE youre Parental Controls PIN
3. Enter you PIN twice.
4. Use the > button to scroll to Enable On/Off and set it on.
5. scroll down to Control Channels
6. Press > button to See Locked Channels
7. Scroll down to Add/Remove Channels
8. Scroll right to choose LOCK ALL
9. Press OK and then scroll to YES to lock all channels
10. Press EXIT to get out of settings.
11. All channels are now locked.
12. Go to any channel
13. A black screen will appear with a lock silhouette with the word LOCKED below, followed by instructions to Press OK to enter PIN and unlock this channel. (plus how to change locks...).
14.Press the OK button and, if it is working, you will see a dialog box at the bottom of the screen that is titled: UNLOCK, with the channel listed and the instructions to "Enter your PIN using your numeric pad on remote to naje this channel availabe for all users." THere's a PIN box, which shows asterisks for each number entered, with "Press Exit to Cancel" below.
15. On the Standard STB, it works exactly as described in steps 1 thru 14. On the Media Center DVR, it works up to step `13, but in 14, no matter how you press the OK button, the UNLOCK dialog box never pops us. The Remote STB light flashes on the remove and the REMOTE yellow light flashes on the DVR, but nothng happens.
If you have a Home Media DVR, can you please try this and see if it works?
Thanks,
John

CS5 Flash Brush Tool and Stage Issue

http://oi44.tinypic.com/fooozl.jpg
I have two issues while using CS5 Flash right now and it's driving me crazy.
For the first issue. (Number 1)
How do I make it so that the dots do not appear after I draw something with the brush? Whenever I draw something with the brush and select it with the mouse, it goes into a, "Dot" image that is shown in the image. This should not happen. I remember there was a setting that made it so that all objects drawn by the brush are completely solid when you select it with the mouse tool. Which setting is this?
For the second issue, (Number 2)
How do I expand the overall working stage that I use within my image? Whenever I click and drag and object to the right, it gives me a bit more room to see the overall object when I zoom out. But than it stops. How do I make the overall stage larger so I can see all of my objects that I have?
Please, someone help me out here.
Thank-You.

select the brush tool. in the properties panel is a smoothing parameter that you can adjust from 0 to 100. try 0 and see if that's what you want.

Question about MSN on my new DC G5 and about Burning on Itunes

Hey guys I have a question about ripping music to itunes, I have a Dual Core 2.0 and was wondering if it was normal that my ripping speed is round 14.5 one some cd's and on other cds 27.5 lol i have ripping to maximum, but the weirdest thing is that if i burn data to a CD, it does it faster than ever, compared to my old comp, but my old comp use to rip I tunes some times faster.
how cna i check if my super drive is working fine or is this pretty normal? like DVD's work fast on the comp, and stuff installs pretty fast? so i dont think its a reading problem, and ive done hardware tset and eveyrthing passed
Secondly, my Gf also has a mac and i think she has the smae problem or at least she says she does, and that is when running MSN Messenger i get signed off alot, saying that my network connection has been lost when i run Safari all the time on it, and works perfectly and FAST. is it just that MSN messenger has bugs with mac ? ive heard bout some bugs just dont know if this is one of them

Make sure you have your CPU speed set to highest. Ripping the CD will depend on CPU and condition of the originial disk. Old disks may take longer.
As for MSN? If only you and your GF are the users of MSN you might be better switching to AIM or iChat. Here's a review of different IM applications...

ANOTHER Question about my iMac G3. Mac OS X and RAM

Hey, I have ANOTHER question about my iMac G3.
I know that I'm supposed to have the latest firmware updates for my iMac G3 running OS 8.1, which I do, but I read some where these firmware updates could only be updated if you're running OS 9.2. Yet when I run the firmware updater, it says my firmware is up to date. I just wanted to make sure this was correct because I just ordered an OS X 10.2 CD today, and I don't want my mac to be "dead" when I install it.
My next question is how much RAM can my mac hold. It's an iMac G3 with a 233 mhz processor, if that makes a differemce.
Again, thanks to the people who have helped me with my first Mac.

hi there--
unfortunately you require system 9.1 or 9.2 for the required firmware update 1.2 for your computer http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117. so you'll have to install that if you want to install 10.2. it may work for you for a little while, but then you could possibly lose all your information. so i wouldn't advise attempting installing 10.2 without the correct firmware.

Flash media server and strobe media player

Hi,
any one is done by sample program with Strobe media player and Flash media server?if yes means please send me some tutorials or sample file with steps how to do.

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in FMS and Strobe Media Player. SMP is a out of box sample player that can play streams from FMS and no coding is required for its basic functionality.
It can play RTMP and HTTP dynamic Streaming / HTTP progressive as well as multicast streams.
Download the Strobe media playback from http://www.osmf.org/strobe_mediaplayback.html , host it on a webserver and launch in a broswer.
launch either strobemediaplayback.html or setup.html to setup your own player with different settings.
Thank you !

A question about font rendering.

Hi all - The character baselines don't seem to line up the same in FTE as in the old Textfield. Is this a known issue Adobe is looking at?
Here is an example of the Text Field:
Here is an example of the TLF engines rendering (same font, cff='true', renderingMode="cff"):
Notice how the o, u , b, c, etc.. have sections that go below the baseline and don't line up with other characters. Is this a known CFF/TLF issue? Is there a work around other than going in and editing the glyphs in the original .TTF?
Thanks,
Ryan

Re: Characters not lining up along the base correctly
TLF is based on FTE and only use actionscript-based API provided by FTE, While FTE is c-based code inside player. So there is nothing we can help. You need to ask the guys at the forum for flash player runtime at: http://forums.adobe.com/community/webplayers/flash_player

Hi Ryan,
I just did a quick search over at bugbase.adobe.com and didn't see any reference to this problem. Have you given the FP 11 RC build a try to see if it reproduces there? If it does, would you mind opening a new bug report? I'd recommend forwarding the bug around to others in the community that might be affected so they can add their comments and votes.
Thanks,

Some questions about creating web animations with lighter data and exporting to vector Flash format.

Hi, I will be creating animations in After Effects mostly using Illustrator vector files and will be exporting to SWF or XFL for using the animations on the web.
One of the priorities is light data as possible to provide viewers with slower connections with better experience. However the animation should also impress and I need to find a balance between performance and possible imagery. The animations may have sound and voice narrative.
I need help with understanding which type of non-vector data is heavier than others. Non-vector image data or sound and voice? And from non-vector image data is some of it lighter or heavier than other - for example motion blur vs smooth gradient vs many colors?
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions, tips, pointers, etc.,

Let's do a little "Myth Busters" on that one, shall we?
Vector data is per se not "lighter" than pixel data. You could have complex paths for which storing the information of the individual nodes takes up more space than a pixel image of the object.
Dynamic rasterization of vector data costs CPU performance and may in effect make things more slow than just playing a series of pixel images. That would apply to anything from path strokes to gradients.
All your pretty AI vectors don't mean anything if they are constructed in such a way that either AE or Flash need to rasterize them on import. Anything from converting Bezier paths to paths consisting of dense linear segments to converting fills, patterns, gradient meshes and so on to pixel data
Pixels are pixels. It does not matter whether they are gradients, mothionblur or just non-antialiased shapes. Flash doesn't care and neither image format that may be used in Flash stores any more or less info. They only differ in their methods, but in the end it's for you to decide whether you use JPEG, PNG8 or PNG24. They all have their pros and cons.
It makes a difference, if data is embedded in an SWF or if it is externally linked just as it makes a difference whether you enforce audio sync or not, playing every frame or not.
So for all intends and purposes, it's still up to you to make up your own mind and find the best solution. And Rick has a point - if you're really that concerned about efficiency, then do it in Flash or Flash Catalyst and consider the options there that may help like GPU accelerated layer styles for drop shadows etc., dynamic text or your vector data remaining vector in teh first place.

A few questions about Text

1) Is there any key that allows you to scale the area type, without having to select the scale tool?
2) Is there any possibility to reduce the area of the area type with a single clic in any of the bottons of the area (like you can do in FreeHand)?
3) Can you convert a title type into an area type and vice versa in a quick way?

Vaca,
Welcome to the real world.
Neither Illustrator nor InDesign provide anything like FreeHand's auto-fitting textframes.
Neither Illustrator nor InDesign provide anything like FreeHand's wrapping tabs.
FreeHand provides proper paragraph rules; Illustrator only has its lame underscore and strikethrough.
FreeHand provides an end-column formatting character.
One text object in FreeHand does more than Illustrator's two.
One text tool in FreeHand does more than Illustrator's six.
One selector tool FreeHand does more than Illustrator's three.
One pen tool in FreeHand is more powerful than Illustrator's four (three pens plus one convert).
One polygon tool in FreeHand does more than Illustrator's two (star and polygon).
FreeHand provides more grad types than Illustrator.
FreeHand knows the difference between a path being selected as an object vs. having all its anchorpoints selected.
FreeHand can drag-bend a straight segment without adding an unwanted anchorpoint.
FreeHand snaps are reliable at any zoom.
FreeHand's speed blows the doors off Illustrator.
So-called "power duplication" is more powerful in FreeHand than in Illustrator.
Select-through is quick and fluid in FreeHand; cumbersome and tedious in Illustrator.
FreeHand provides for disallowing fills on open paths; Illustrator doesn't.
FreeHand's cutting tool can cut its own open, unfilled paths (duh!).
FreeHand's path operations are more logical than Illustrator's cluttered and confused Pathfinders.
In FreeHand, winding direction in compound paths is more reliable.
FreeHand's interface doesn't encourage the creation of stray points.
FreeHand provides a proper hairline stroke weight.
FreeHand provides Connector Points to ensure tangency of curves to straight segments.
FreeHand provides a proper, straightforward, reverse path command.
FreeHand can auto-extend, auto-retract anchor handles.
FreeHand provides connector lines.
Illustrator never kept up with FreeHand in most basic functionality.
FreeHand always allowed editing in preview mode. It took several versions for Illustrator to catch up to that and, incredulously, AI users actually defended that inability.
It took fifteen years for Illustrator to acquire a Fit To Page print command.
It took twenty years for Illustrator be able to add page 2.
Illustrator still doesn't provide for user-defined drawing scales.
Illustrator still doesn't even provide live shape primitives (live polygons, arcs, ellipses, etc.)--among the most basic constructs common to vector drawing programs.
I could go on and on an on with this list. Users have been pointing these things out literally for decades. Illustrator is simply the most archaic, cumbersome, tedious, confused, and cluttered mainstream vector program on the market. Much of the basic feature set is sub-standard (see custom arrowheads). The interface is worst-of-class. Those who don't know better encounter its confused awkwardness and mistake it for "sophistication."
And we're talking about superior functionality that remains in a program Adobe acquired and discontinued how many years ago?
