Question about viewing .swf in email

My client wants to send an .swf by email. lat year the file was 975kb and when they clicked the play button the animation played immediately Yay! This year the .swf animation is 2.4 - 3 mb and I am worried the client will have to wait for it to load.
I thought of uploading the movie to Youtube but the client wants the large area of white to surround the animation. (the animation is a funky shape on a whie background).
What other options do I have?
Is a 2.4 to 3 mb .swf too large to send by email for quick viewing?

Whichever way you deliver it, it will take time to deliver and/or load. Why not just publish an html page with a white background and place it on a server. Send the client a link to it.

Question about view/controller/nib class design

Assume you need to make an application with, let's say, 15 different views in total. There are two extreme design choices you can use to implement the app:
1) Every single view has its own view controller and a nib file. Thus you end up with 15 controller classes and 15 nib files (and possibly a bunch of view classes if any of your views needs to be somehow specialized).
2) You have only one controller which manages all the views, and one nib file from which they are loaded.
AFAIK Apple and many books recommend going purely with option #1. However, going with this often results in needless complexity, large amounts of classes (and nib files) to be managed and complicated class dependencies, especially if some of the views (and thus their controllers) interact with each other or share something (something which would be greatly simplified if all these related views were handled by one single controller class).
Option #2 also usually ends up being very complex. The major problem is that the single controller will often end up being enormous, handling tons of different (and usually unrelated) things (which is just outright bad design). This is seldom a good design, unless your application consists of only a few views which are closely related to each other (and thus it makes sense for one single controller class to handle them).
(Option #2 also breaks the strictest interpretation of the MVC pattern, but that's not really something I'm concerned about. I'm concerned about simple design, not about following a programming pattern to the letter.)
A design somewhere in between the two extremes often seems to be the best approach. However, since I don't have decades of Cocoa programming experience, I would like to hear some opinions about this subject matter from people with more experience on that subject. (I do have object-oriented programming experience, but I have only relatively recently started programming for the iPhone and thus Cocoa and its design patterns are relatively new to me, so I'm still learning.)

Somehow I get the feeling that my question was slightly misunderstood.
I was not asking "which one of these two designs do you think is better, option #1 or option #2?" I already said in my original post that option #2 is bad design (unless your application consists of just one or two views). That's not the issue.
The issue is that from my own experience trying to adhere very strictly to the "every single view must have its own view controller and nib file" often results in needless complexity. Of course this is not always the case, but sometimes you end up having controller classes which perform very similar, if not even the exact same actions, resulting in code repetition. (An OO'ish solution to this problem would be to have a common base class for these view controllers where the common functionality has been grouped, but this often just adds to the overall complexity of the class hierarchy rather than alleviating it.)
As an example, let's assume that you have a set of help screens (for example one help screen for each major feature of the app) and a view where you can select which help view to show. Every one of these views has, for example, a button to immediately exit the help system. If you had one single controller class managing these views, this becomes simpler: The controller can switch between any of the views and the buttons of each view (most of them doing the same things) can call back actions on this controller (eg. to return to the help selection or to exit the help screen completely). These help screens don't necessarily have any functionality of their own, so it's questionable what do they would need view controllers of their own. These view controllers would basically be empty because there's nothing special for them to do.
View controllers might make it easy to use the navigation controller class, but the navigation controller is suitable mainly for utility apps but often not for things like games. (And if you need animated transitions between views, that can be implemented using the UIView animation features.)
I also have hard time seeing the advantages of adhering strictly to the MVC pattern. The MVC pattern is useful in things like web servers, where MVC adds flexibility. The controller acts as a mediator between the database and the user interface, and it does so in such an abstract way that either one can be easily changed (eg. the "view", which normally outputs HTML, could be easily changed to a different "view" which outputs a PDF or even plain text, all this without having to touch the controller or the model at all). However, I'm not seeing the advantages of the MVC pattern in an iPhone app. It provides a type of class design, but why is it better than some other class design? It's not like the input and output formats of the app need to be changed on the fly (which is one advantage of a well-designed program using the MVC pattern).

I have a question about Flash swfs and Scripts

I have a Flash swf file and it is made up of my logo and stuff going past it and around it, behind it, and such. What can I do to it, so when somebody enters the page the logo will appear at the center of the page and then progressively move up until it hits the page logo and then kills the swf file?

I wouldn't give up hope on getting some ideas for how to get what you want, trying things can be the best way to learn. But you should clarify things because your current description is a little hard to follow. You say you want a logo centered on a page moving up the page towards a logo, but then you say the page fades in when the logos meet (Wasn't the page there already?). It's hard to differentiate the logos and the pages from your description. Or maybe it's just me not being able to follow it.
If you want a splash screen, then typically a splash screen will play thru whatever it does and then initiate a redirect to the home page. This redirection would be coded into the Flash file.
If you want the home page to fade into view, then you'd either have to build that page as a movieclip in the Flash file or try to utilize a page transition in the browser. It has been so long since I even tried using a browser page transition that I couldn't tell you how to set it up, but if memory serves me well, IE was the only browser at the time that supported them, and I don't know if that has changed. (I don't know enough to know if there is a CSS solution to making a page fade in)

Question about future of push email & syncing with Mac and PC on iPhone

I have two questions that I've tried to get answers from at two different Apple Stores, but I get many different answers - so I thought I'd give it a shot here.
1) I understand that push email is coming in the 2.0 software release this summer - but will that only be for Microsoft Exchange customers? My small business uses DreamHost (a private mail server company) that runs postfix under Debian Linux and supports Courier IMAP...our IT guy told me this, I'm not sure what it all means - he's a PC guy...
2) Can I sync my iPhone to my Entourage Mail & Contacts from my Mac AND sync my iTunes from my PC? Is this a bad idea?
THANKS!

Question about Apple ID/iCloud email/and purchases?

Hi,
I know that these have been discussed at length, but I want to ask these two question for myself to get a definite answer, Pleas help me!
1. Does an iCloud email alisas act just as a regular email? I can send from the new address, recieve email from people mailing to this new address, and sign into my content with this new address just as if it was the original one?
2. I really want a new iCloud account to start over. I have had an Apple ID for years before iCloud came out. If I delete my iCloud account and create a new one, will it be integrated with all my past purchases? Are the Apple ID and iCloud account sparate? I want to keep my Apple ID, but be able to sign into it and access my purchased content from my new iCloud account? Can this be done.
I am really grateful!!

An email alias will act just like you iCloud email address, and it will receive incoming mail at the same inbox. It will be added to your existing iCloud account/ID so you can continue to sign into your account with your current ID.
Your iCloud ID is separate from your iTunes account ID. You can keep your current iTunes ID and add a second ID for your new iCloud account; they do not need to be the same. If you want to migrate your data to a new iCloud account, on your device go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (this only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud). When prompted choos Keep on My [iDevice]. Then set up a new account with a different ID and turn your iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted, choos Merge to upload the data to your new account.

Question about setting up an email server

I want to store my own mail in a dedicated server I have but I don't know if it's possible to send and receive email reliably if I'm unable to change the server's PTR record. Anyone has any experience?

Hi there,
I know it has been quite a few days but better late than never i guess
First of all, PTR record has nothing to do with receiving emails so you will be ok for that part.
For out going emails, short answer is I have seen quite a few servers run without matching PTR records so it leads me to believe it is possible. It will probably increase the spam score of your messages so you may want to look at things like SPF and DKIM to balance that.
Long answer goes something like this:
In an effort to minimimize spam on my servers I have set my MTA (postfix) to reject emails that don't have have matching reverse dns records. It backfired big time. I found out even some of the biggest companies don't have proper PTR setup so it was rejecting all kinds of valid emails and I had to disable the check. This leads me to believe all the big hosting companies/ISPs don't block emails based on their originating server's PTR so you should be good to go. You "might" run into problems with paranoid mail servers but in my experiance it doesn't really happen.
Also if you are setting the server up at home/small office make sure your ISP doesn't block port 25 as most does. You can also contact your ISP to see if they would agree to set up an PTR record for you. If they agree it would be one less thing to think about

Interactive Reports - Question about Downloading PDF, CSV, Email, etc

I recently installed the latest version of APEX. I deployed it as an EAR on Oracle WebLogic. I then created a simple
interactive report that has the search bar above the report. The downloads (emailing, pdf, etc) do not work after I
run the report.
What setup\configuration is required to get the emailing and downloading of the other files to work?
fyi: right now I have Oracle WebLogic, Oracle 10g, and APEX running locally on a XP based laptop.
Thank you in advance,
Wes

Hello Wes,
Sending a report as an email requires an SMTP server. You need to configure your instance settings to point to the SMTP server.

To download a report as a pdf, excel or RTF... you need to have a reporting engine installed. Check this link for details...

Question about viewing folders

Guys,
I was wondering how to view a folder in list view and make all the other windows open the same way. I recently came from Windows and I know there was a setting that would "apply to all folders". Does OS X have something like that? Also, if I have a folder that has pictures in it, is there a way to view it so it shows the thumbsnails of it instead of importing all them into iPhoto? Thanks everyone!

Yarzy,
For a detailed discussion of how to deal with setting List view, please see this thread.
As far as seeing thumbnails, I prefer to use Column View. Column View will show thumbnails for any image files, it will display a preview of PDF documents, and it will even allow you to play audio and video directly in the Finder window; very cool!
Also, it is very easy to simply drag-select several image files at once in column view. Having done so, you can Control-Click (or right-click) on your selection and choose "Slideshow" from the contextual menu. This is one of the coolest capabilities of OS X, to view a full-screen slideshow from the Finder, with the option to "tile" all the pictures, or to add a single pic to your iPhoto library with the click of your mouse.
Give these options a try, and let us know how you like them.

Question about Pushing ATT ISP Email Through Yahoo Push Account

So as I understand it, ATT doesn't allow outbound mail server access remotely (must use Edge), so a common workaround is to create a yahoo account with a subaccount equal to your ISP mail username, password, etc.
Ive done this, and it appears to work reasonably well, but can anyone tell me if it is possible to set this up so that the ISP address email is "pushed" as well as the yahoo address mail? In other words, I have to actually log into the yahoo mobile account and "check other mail" before the ISP mail shows up (versus the yahoo mail which is "pushed" to me without any manual intervention on my part).
I've got the feeling I've just got a simple configuration problem with the yahoo account, but I'm having a brain ****.
TIA

The ability to send with an SMTP server when connected to an internet service provider via wi-fi depends on the ISP - if the SMTP server is outside of the ISP's network, or not provided by the ISP.
Most ISPs don't block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of the ISP's network as long as the SMTP server is authenticated - and the same applies when connected to the internet via at&t's EDGE network.
I access a .Mac account and a business POP account with my iPhone. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server, and I have no problems sending with either account regardless when connected via various wi-fi networks and different ISPs associated with each, and when connected to at&t's EDGE network.
If Yahoo allows for accessing a different email account through their incoming mail server, I don't believe they provide for Push-IMAP account access for such an account when doing so.

Some questions about view options for single folders

hi,
I'm trying to customize the finder a little, but I'm running into some troubles. It seems that finder is not capable of saving view options for single folders, is it? What I mean is: For example I want my standard view to be "column view, sorted by name". But one specific folder I want to open in "list view, sorted by date modified". I can't get finder to do it.
In View Options, there is a checkbox "Always open in XXX view". But it only seems to work if I cmd-click that folder so it opens in a new finder window, but not if I stay in the same window, which is really annoying.
With file-sorting, it seems as soon as I chose "sort files by date modified" finder does this for ALL folders, not only the one I'm currently in (regardless of whether I use View -> Arrange By or View -> View Options -> Arrange By)
Ideas? I can't believe that those basic features are actually lacking in finder.
thanks!

well, I think I see what the problem is.
I usually use column view. In column view it is enough to single-click on a folder to open it. When you do that, a new column with that folder opens. When I double-click on a folder on the other hand, it behaves the way I want it to be (opens in the view I set for it). So it seems like I will have double-click every folder in order to behave it the way I want (annoying as well, but I guess there is no other solution).
Btw, if I create a new folder on my desktop and change it's default view it works, because clicking on a folder on the desktop is pretty much the same as opening it in a new window.
Thanks for your help though. If you have any idea if you can make the folders behave the right way by single-clicking than please let me know
edit: ok, seems I was wrong. it worked for the desktop-folder, but doesn't seem to work for any other folder (it DOES work when cmd-double-clicking it though). strange.

Question about viewing hard drives in windows

So I just Installed windows on my macpro, on a second internal hardrive. Now when I run in OSX I can view the harddrive that windows is installed on, but when Im in windows I can't get into the harddrive with OSX on it.
I've looked in device manager and windows is saying that there is reading the OSX drive, but basically says its blank and I can't use it.
I really want to be able to swap info between these hardrives. Any advice?

You need to install the Boot Camp drivers from a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD or third-party software such as MacDrive.

Question about viewing by conversation

Greetings, all.
I've just moved to Mountain Lion on my work laptop, and I'm noticing that Apple changed the way conversations are handled.
Specifically, now in ML, Mail organizes by conversation regardless of a message's folder location. Previous versions organized by conversation only in the same folder, but now it doesn't matter what folder a message is in (or at least Sent & Archive don't matter).
Is there any way to restore the old functionality, where "Organize By Conversation" only includes messages in the current folder, and NOT messages in the archive or in the sent folder?
Thanks.

Ah, yes! It's actually Preferences > Viewing > View conversations, but yes, that is the setting. Thank you!
I did many web searches and hadn't found it.

Question about file extension - using email delivery options in 12.1.3

So, we had 12.1.1 and we have some existing XML Publisher reports.
Now we've upgraded to 12.1.3, and there is a new option when running a concurrent request called "Delivery Options".
This allows, among other things, to deliver the output to an email address.
In testing this, I tried running a report that typically outputs to Excel....however when it sends the email (again, not using a bursting control file, but the delivery options in the concurrent request), the attachment comes over with an extension of .EXCEL instead of .XLS
Does anyone know where I can change that extension?
thanks!

Dumb newbie question about viewing drive space

I just upgraded to 10.7.5 from 10.5. I used to be able to see my drive free space in my window, at the bottom. Now I can't seem to find it without going to Get Info. I would really like to see the available space of my connected drives without having to click on Get Info. Is this possible? Thank you for any help!!!

Easy.
