StageHeight bug with bandwidth profiler

I just noticed a workaround something that's been annoying me for a long time. Occasionally my projects vertically line up funny if clip y-coords or heights are based on frame 1 stageHeight. I always thought it was a load-time duration or something like that, but it turns out to be bandwidth profiler (CS4 authoring). Try this on frame 1 of a new, empty project:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, this.entf);
function entf(evt:Event):void
trace(this.stage.stageHeight);
When bandwidth profiler is on, the first frame reports -100 the real stageHeight. Now to avoid the problem I just turn off bandwidth profiler. Is it just a bug?

Ha - haven't seen this one in a while... been around for ever. Hard to believe it hasn't been corrected. It's one of the reasons I normally use hard coded statics for the stage size, instead of relying on stageWidth and stageHeight.

Bandwidth profiler and publish preview to HTML?

Really? These are no longer present? I see that it shows the swf file size history in the properties palette but its not the same nor nearly as convenient as COMMAND/B. Publish Preview swf embedded in HTML is just gone and any search I do to find out where it is brings up the new Canvas publishing abilities. How can features that have been in for a decade be taken out.

Yanking tools out that have been in a piece of software for a decade seems like a really bad idea. I still use Flash but only for Display. Everything else is "HTML5". I upgraded to CC to check out the canvas support. The bandwidth profiler and the publish preview taken out has caused my entire workflow to change, not in a good way. Flash is already on its last leg. Adobe should be in touch with its shrunken user base. Its used for Display, Games and some video at this point. It has a much more narrow focus now. I use the bandwidth profiler 30 times a day since Display has strict file size constraints. My banners use dynamic content so I need to see them embedded in HTML so I used the publish preview function just as much.

Test Bandwidth Profiler Duration Only 2 Frames?

Hey all,
I have a Flash movie that I created, which spans 1800 frames. When I test the movie, it plays correctly. However, the bandwidth profiler only displays two frames. One where my "play" button is, and the other containing the rest of the frames. How come my bandwidth profiler is not displaying the timeline correctly? The reason I ask is because a preloader that I'm trying to use is not working. I assume it's dysfunctional because of this problem. My code should be correct because I used the same preloader and code for another Flash movie, and everything works as it should, preloader included.
Here is a picture of what I see for my Flash movie that does not work properly: http://www.flickr.com/photos/90130393@N08/8185730489/
Where it says, "duration," should say 1800 fr., but instead says, "2 fr." However, when I remove the instance name of my preloader, the bandwidth profiler displays everything as it should with the correct duration, but of course my preloader does not work as a consequence.
I think this is the root of my problem that's causing my preloader to not work.

Here it is:
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad)
function preLoad(e:Event):void{
var total_bytes:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
var loaded_bytes:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
preLoader.preLoaderFill.scaleX = loaded_bytes/total_bytes;
preLoader.bytesPercent.text = Math.floor((loaded_bytes/total_bytes)*100) + "%";
if (total_bytes==loaded_bytes){
gotoAndStop(2);
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad);
Again, I don't think the code is the problem because it works fine with another Flash movie that I made. To be frank, I'm not sure how I got the preloader to work in that movie. I really wish I remembered. Spent hours trying to figure out how to make the preloader work in the Flash movie that I'm currently working on right now. However, I've been unsuccessful. :/
I guess I should also add that even though my preloader doesn't work, I still see the default one with the 5 continuous dots repeating.

Bandwidth Profiler/Simulate Download deprecated in CC ? lame

I've been using CS6 because the Object Level Undo was deprecated in CC. Now its back in CC 2014...thanks
I just noticed that the Bandwidth Profiler/Simulate Download/Download Settings - Options are deprecated as well.
Really? This was necessary? These tools are quite useful and don't function the same way in Scout at all.
I was building a timeline banner recently and noticed it was gone.
I build all sorts of things with Flash (banners, desktop apps, iOS/Android) and when I need to do timeline animation and check my frames K size quickly, these options are awesome and handy.
Especially the Download Settings. I use Scout for my larger more demanding applications, debugging and optimizing. Plus Scout doesn't allow you to what the bandwidth profiler settings do. Firing up Scout to check where the data peaks are for a 15 sec banner is overkill to me. Especially when the Bandwidth Profiler did its job just fine. Especially being able to go frame by frame. Its not the same at all.
I don't know where you get your info from but removing stuff like that seems like a odd choice. These options have been in Flash as far back as I can remember. Maybe 10 years at least.
How about allowing it to be added as an extension to Flash? Release the code in MXP/ZXP format? Then you can keep the same CC 2014 core build and let people add what they need.
I'm sure there are lots of people that feel the same way about some of the other deprecated options.
Is this an option?
For now I will use Flash CS6 and Flash CC for different things.
I love Flash but you guys really know how to annoy me.

We all tried Scout and found it lacking the feature we want.
What is the deal with Adobe removing useful things? I need to simulate how my file behaves under various download conditions. Why would Adobe take that away? Who treats their customers like this?

Multiple effects and no bandwidth profiler

Hi
couple of questions please.
If I select view I expected to see the band width profiler as an option but I dont has it been moved in cs5?
Second I've created a tex/symbol effect using the presets with the text coming in from the right.
I now want to duplicate the text/symbol onto another layer and have that as a preset pulse animation.
Is there a way to do this or do I have to start from scratch ie type in the text, convert to a symbol and then add the animation.
I was then going to try to use action scripting to tell the movie to loop starting at the pulse animation.
Is this the correct approach?
thanks
Ian

Still you have the bandwidth profiler in the view.
Copy and paste the frames, select the layer put Ctl+Alt+C and paste the effect Ctl+Alt+V in a layer. then swap the symbol that you want.

Error while saving a smartform in pdf with action profile in service order

Hi experts,
I have a problem in saving a smartform which is converted in pdf.
WHat i m doing is.
The action profile is configured with new Z class and Z method. CL_DOC_PROCESSING_CRM_ORDER and CRM_SRVORDER_EXEC_SMART_FORM.
But when i click the button in the Order, i m able to save the pdf in local drive, but an error is coming in the Order page(at the bottom) "Action could not be executed successfully".
The action has been setup with "Printonly" and "Smartforms print" in customization.
I have a dount whether, this action Printonly is only to print the smartform ??? Or can we use just to save the smartform in pdf.
But when i remove the pdf conversion and save dialog and try to print it directly, Its printing the smartform. No errors are coming.
But guys, please help me on this. I have tried all the tricks i know.
I just want to save a smartform in pdf with action profile configured.
Thanks in advance.

30EA3: German language bug with user defined reports still not fixed

In 30EA2: Limited folder functionality with German language
I wrote about a bug in 30EA2. Was this message noticed by the developers?
The bug still exists in 30EA3.
In new folders for user definded reports only the options "Kopieren" and "Exportieren" (copy and export) are available, when SQL-Deverloper runs in German language mode.
A workaround is to force language to English with the line
AddVMOption -Duser.language=en

Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

(N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

AppV 5 slow to refresh with roaming profile (no redirects) but fast with local profile

Hi,
I have an issue I can't get thought out. I have an AppV5 SP3 full infra, with SMB share and local caching of packages enabled. Everything works from a functional level. However I have an issue where users with a roaming profile get a very slow AppV refresh
during login.
I created a few testaccounts, a few with local profile and a few with roaming profiles. For these testusers there are NO folder redirects. The only difference between them is local profile or roaming profile.
When I login with a local-profile user initially, the AppV client rather slowly refreshes the applications and shortcuts. It generates quite some CPU load on the RDS host, but as soon as the shortcuts are placed everything is fine. When I log that user off,
and log in again, the shortcuts are there immediately and I can immediately start the applications (Office 2010 for example). Blazing fast. Also when logging in, the refresh-UI is there for about half a second, it really flashes and it's done.
Then with a testuser with roaming profile, the initial refresh is about the same. But when I logoff that user and login again, it's all very slow. The shortcuts are there but blank initially, it takes about 5-10 seconds to get the correct icon. It takes
much longer before the refresh actually starts (sometimes up to 30 seconds after login), and it takes 5-10 seconds to do the refresh, with 100% cpu load on the thread AppVclient.exe is running on. Also right after loging in when the shortcuts are blank they
don't work until they get the proper icon. WHen everything is refreshed it works all fine though. It's just painfully slow at start.
I don't understand this. I can reproduce this every single time. Without folder redirects I don't see the difference between roaming and local profile from AppV perspective, as the roaming profile is of course copied to the server and in that sense the server
just works with a local copy anyway.
Anyone encountered this, and how to troubleshoot, or better fix this?

So is the fact that there is a 5-10 second delay during refresh actually an issue? What I mean by that is - are any users comparing the local profiles with roaming profiles experience, or complaining that the delay is there?
Roaming profiles and Folder redirection are of course very simple to configure; however for the best user experience I recommend managing profiles with a real profile management solution.
If you have MDOP, then you'll also have access to UE-V. You've mentioned your environment is RDS, which sadly doesn't get UE-V, even though you have App-V.
Here are some resources on UE-V + App-V and what's required when managing App-V with roaming users:

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy... When I search for a file, A) it asks me if it's a name, or it wont produce anything, and B), its slower than in prior OS versions and in some instances I have to toggle to a different directory and go back to my original directory in the search: menu bar or the search wont produce anything... Very buggy.

It appears to me that network file access is buggy in Maverick.
In my case I have a USB Drive attached to airport extreme (new model) and when I open folders on that drive they all appear empty. If I right click and I select get info after a few minutes! I get a list of the content.
It makes impossible navigate a directory tree.
File access has been trashed in Maverick.

App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS Client with hotfix 2 breaks frequently on Windows 2012R2 with User Profile Disks enabled

Hi All,
I am at my wit's end trying to troubleshoot this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
We are having serious stability issues with App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS in our environment with User Profile Disks enabled.
We have applied the latest hotfix but the issues persist.
The main problems are:
1. Periodically the client seems to become corrupted and all applications stop working for all users. All applications including the official Microsoft Office 2013 ones - not just our packages.
The symptoms are the same as if I change the App-V Client Service account to run under a user account instead of SYSTEM, so it suggests a file access issue. The log files also hint at this, and one of there errors is similar to this:
The virtual application 'C:\Users\rds.user9\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\A3EF9C01-C0E9-4AC5-B21F-DB9B1D2F700C\Root\Mindjet\MindManager 14\MindManager.exe' could not be started because the
App-V Subsystem 'Virtual Filesystem' could not be initialized. {error: 0x6740090A-0x20003}
Once this problem occurs the only way I have found to fix it is to either completely remove and reinstall the client, or (perhaps this is the big clue) rename the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\MAV\Configuration\Volumes , unpublish
an application, then republish said application.
I don't even think it matters which application gets published. The point seems to be that this 'Volumes' key gets rewritten.
I am highly suspicious that our issues are caused by User Profile disks in our RDS environment, as when I disable them on our staging collection all of these issues seem to disappear.
I have made sure all of the servers have permissions on the share (folder and share permissions). It doesn't seem to make a difference.
2. Some application fail completely with User Profile Disks enabled. If we switch the setting from "Store all settings and data on the user profile disk" to "Store Only the following folders" there seems to be some improvement,
in that at least one application that fails on the other setting starts to work.
3. We have already set that NTFS 8 dot 3 reg fix some time ago.
SOS!
We have gone live this week (not my call) and this is having disasterous consequences. :(
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I did try this a while ago without success, although it may be worth revisiting with SP2 applied.
I have left this client now.
I left them a Powershell script that deletes HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\MAV\Configuration\Volumes
and triggers an Unpublish/Publish of an application we have deployed to all of the servers.
This seems to work, but a fix would be better than a workaround.
Not really my problem now though - I did my best.
Thanks,
John

App-V 5.0 SP2 with Mandatory Profiles

Hi,
We are having some issues with App-V 5.0 SP2 with HFX2 and HFX4 on our Windows 7 x64 Clients
We use mandatory profiles and delete the local profile on logoff,
HFX2 Issue:
The AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\<GUID> is only created once, subsequent logins don't have the folder structure created for the package VFS and all folders have read/write access for the user, when they should follow the base OS folder permissions
We have found that a registry entry is created in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\AppV\MAV\Configuration\Packages\<GUID>\UserConfigEx\<USER-GUID>
if we manually delete this registry key then appv will re-create the VFS folders in local app data
AppV seems to be setting key's saying its created those folders and expects them to be there on the next login, is there a way to tell AppV that we are using mandatory profiles and to re-create the folders?
HFX4 Issue:
Hotfix 4 is a bigger problem in that a registry entry for <USER-GUID> is created in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Virtualzation\LocalVFSSecuredUser
The first time appv is used for that user, it works, all subsequent times appv packages fail to load unless that registry string is manually deleted.
Is there any way to fix App-V 5 to work with mandatory profiles which are deleted on logoff?
Thanks!

Hi Nicke,
The registry key's are located in HKLM, which causes permission problems as our uses are all standard users
the HFX2 issue sort of works, the
UserConfigEx key is created with the logged on user having read/write permissions, so as long as that user successfully runs a logoff script then the key is deleted, if the desktop crashes without running the logoff script and a new user logs in, then they
don't have the rights to delete the sub keys and all future app-v localappdata VFS permissions are broken on that client,
The HFX4 issue registry keys are all write protected from standard users,
I'm not 100% sure these are the only area's which are causing problems (they are just the ones I've found!) and that just deleting the registry entries completely fixes the problem. I didn't go down the path of deleting HKLM keys as a user as it seemed
a bit of a brute force hack to me which I was trying to avoid :)
If I give users rights to delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\AppV\MAV\Configuration\Packages subkeys
then I think they could break published applications if the <GUID> folders are somehow deleted?
I was actually pretty surprised to find out that App-V 5.0 stores permanent information about user's in the HKLM hive, I would have thought all of this should live in the HKCU hive!
I've not been able to find any documentation on how App-V uses HKLM keys to keep track of processes its already performed on a user and doesn't want to do again,
Thanks!
