Swf and Universal Binary

I've produced a application (standalone player) on Mac for PC
customers. It's pretty heavy, it includs videos and flash
didactical sequences. All play fine on my 2 computers (G4 bipro
1,25Ghz and G5 1,8 Ghz) and on the customer computers.
But I've to install it on a MacBook Laptop (with only 512Mo)
and then problem...
The video and animations are slow, even if I play the swf
separately the simple animations are slow, so I think that the
standalone player uses Rosetta...
How to solve that problem ?
Is there a Flash 9 player installer (not only for browser) ?
If I found a Flash player 9 to compile again the projector
will it works on Universal Binary computers ?
Thank for your help ;)

Look like it's done! In the download page :
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
There is a link to download the INTEL version of the Flash
Player (release and debug!). But in fact, it's a Universal Binary
app, not just Intel !.
So, they should flush the link for the PowerPC version...
It's working fine on my G5 powerPC too.

  • Lion Upgrade and Universal Binary Plugins

    Hey All,
    So I read the apple press release about the Lion upgrade and if memory serves correctly I read that, with Lion, Apple will be discontinuing support for Universal Binary applications. 
    I'm currently running Logic Express 9.1.4 on Snow Leopard and I have a few Universal Binary AU plugins. 
    If I do upgrade to Lion, will my Universal Binary AU plugins also cease to work when I run Logic on Lion? 
    Additionally, will an upgrade to lion require me to run another series of upgrades in order for my system, and all my other apps, to run smoothly?
    Not really complaining about this, just weighing the options before I decide whether to upgrade or not

    I read about the Universal Binary support as well - don't remember where, did some googling. I'm not a big Apple/computer tekkie, but I have a feeling that going to Lion will be like the OS9 to OSX transition, but as if Classic Environment never existed.
    I'd make the Lion decision based on your current hardware and software - is it working now? Or are you looking at some future release that only Lion will support? I bought Macromedia Studio (Academic) 2004 for about $200 or less back then, it's $529 now on Amazon, no cheaper/Academic version available that I can find (well, it's Adobe now.) Final Draft is screenwriting - basic word processing - no need to shell out close to $200 for a new version or a $99 upgrade that does the same thing on Lion (though after fighting with the company about their dropping support for my version, I was offered a cheaper upgrade - still, no need.) Also, MS Office works fine on the mini - again, basic word processing (I only and rarely use Word) seems crazy to upgrade, based on trying a new OS.
    My G4 tower (I believe currently running 10.4.x) worked for my needs for what, 8 years? Still does all I need, I'll hold onto it, but chokes up a bit on Garageband, Final Cut 4 drags (but I never use it.)**  I upgraded to Mac mini for the Intel processor (for Netflix streaming and any new Intel apps I may desire) and I can see this one with 10.6.8 lasting me for years, since it's running all my old apps and any that are available right now.
    Good luck, whatever you choose, but I still say don't do it unless it's a dual boot situation.
    **These are hardware issues, OS was never an issue except, of course, for the very first OSX.

  • Universal Binary..Once and For All

    I know this topic has been discussed, but I'm still a little confused. I want to put this issue to rest, at least from my perspective.
    If you install a Universal Application via download or CD/DVD does it install an application that would be able to run of BOTH an Intel or PPC Mac. I know that the file size isn't exactly doubled, but does it still add extra unneeded code.
    I'm on a PPC Mac and I want to know if I download a Universal App am I getting the Intel version too. I really don't want this because I want my drive to be a slim as possible.
    If the Universal App does install both version (which I think was clearly evident in the huge increase in size of iLife '06 and iWork) is the only way to get the Intel version off to use "Trim the Fat".
    I don't really want to get into the nitty gritty...I just want to know if unneeded code is being installed and taking up space on my iBook because of this new Universal App thing.
    Thank you so much.

    The answer is yes.
    Universal binaries typically include both PowerPC and x86 versions of a compiled application.
    Universal binaries are usually substantially larger than single-platform binaries, because two copies of the compiled code must be stored. The size of the resulting universal binary is usually not double (roughly a 30% increase in size) as a significant portion will be resources which are shared between the two architectures.

  • Old school, has anyone here been able to install and run Logic Pro 9.1   on a dual 1.8 G5 PPC? I know LP9 is not officialy supported on non Intel CPUs, But  9.0.0 and 9. 02 are ok on the G5 PPC as it is universal Binary, while I hear 9.1 wont work

    ok thanks, that's what I tought,looks like apple machines are only good for two - three years, the software developers are ahead of the hardware to a certain point, love macs but this is forcing us to buy new macs just to keep  up with development. There was a time it was the opposite.
    By the time we get up on new stuff it's time to change again. Gotta be rich to deal with macs ...LOL

  • Macbook 2.0ghz and Sims 2 Universal Binary Patch

    Please help.
    I have downloaded several versions of the Sims 2 universal binary patch. Everytime I double-click the patch to execute it, my Macbook freezes.
    Has anyone experienced this or installed the patch sucessfully?
    Thanks!

    Hey. Now I have my Macbook, and this exact same thing happens to me. Whats weird is that it was working before I reinstalled Tiger...

  • Universal Binary and Appleworks

    Will my beloved Appleworks be moved to universal binary. I do realize of course I do not do anything that would require a non-Rosetta enviroment. But still...

    According to www.macrumors.com as of today... it is
    supposed to official that AppleWorks will not be
    updated for Universal Binary.
    It works pretty well with Rosetta apparently.
    But there's not a way in the world it ever would have been made a Universal Binary. The whole application would have had to rewritten in Xcode (it was created in Metrowerks Codewarrior which is defunct itself) and new staff hired. Apple were never going to spend tens of thousands of dollars (likely hundreds of thousands) to do this when they've acknowledged they're replacing it.

  • Mac Universal Binary Support (c'mon guys)

    Lack of Universal Binary support for the Mac is kinda hard to
    believe since there exists a version 8 universal binary in beta
    form. No further Mac releases should be available without UB
    support. Please let us know what your plans for UB support are
    going forward.

    I'll second that sentiment. It is frustrating enough
    (although understandable) that Flex Builder is unavailable for any
    Mac platform but not being able to even test content on my MacBook
    Pro is just silly.
    I finally took the time to install the SDK and setup Xcode to
    provide code hinting for AS3 (still working on MXML) and compile
    the .swf files but now I can't test. I guess I go back to Bootcamp
    again or parallels workstation to run this stuff in an XP
    environment. Major bummer.
    Best regards,
    Rob

  • How to tell if an app is "Universal Binary" i.e. Intel-compatible?

    I have various freeware and shareware apps on my new MacBook Pro which I "migrated" over from an old PowerBook G4 which I had been using until getting my new MBP last week. To whatever extent possible, I want to avoid using old PowerPC-chip designed apps, since they'd have to go through Rosetta translation in order to work, but using Rosetta extensively slows down Snow Leopard's snappy response time.
    So, I want to make sure that each app is designed to be Intel-compatible. And if it isn't, I will try to track down a newer version, or if there aren't any, then find a replacement app that will do the same function.
    However, I don't have documentation or "read me" files for most of these older share/freeware applications, so it's not easy to tell just from "looking at them" whether or not they were written in Universal Binary (or in some other Intel-compatible way). One could always look at the date the application was made, and if it's really really old, then one could assume that it's not Intel compatible; and if it's really really new, then one could assume that it is compatible. Unfortunately, most of the apps are from that exact transitional period when some apps were made for PowerPC, some for Intel, and some Universal Binary, etc. -- mostly they're from the 2006-2009 era.
    So: Is there some method for "peering inside" applications to see if they're written in Universal Binary?
    As an example:
    I have a program called flvThing 1.0.1. If I control-click its icon, choose "Show package contents," then go flvThing>Contents>MacOS>flvThing, and do "Get Info" on the excutable file therein, it says "Unix Executable File (Universal)." Does that mean that it was written in Universal Binary?
    If that's true, can I use this same method to peer inside most/any apps and see if they are a "Unix Executable File (Universal)"? Or is there some other method for finding this out?
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

    Yow! That was easy! Thanks. Worked like a charm. "Solved."
    Two follow-up questions:
    1. I see five ancient apps listed as being "Classic." I presume that I might as well Trash those right now, since no Classic apps will ever run in the Post-Snow-Leopard world? None of these five Classic apps are important or necessary, so trashing them is not a problem.
    2. Some of my Intel apps are listed as being 64-bit, and some as not 64-bit. Should this concern me? Does it matter? I presume that both 64-bit Intel apps and non-64-bit Intel apps will both work perfectly fine on my i5 MacBook Pro 15" -- right?

  • Exporting Flash(SWF) and Getting No Audio

    Hello All,
    I'm new to these boards and have only posted once previously.
    I'm recording lectures with Captivate 3 for University
    professors speaking in front of a class using power point. I have
    one Captivate project with about 570 slides. When I publish this
    project to SWF and play it in html and/or the skin player there is
    no audio.
    There is audio when I play each slide or when I preview the
    project but no audio when I publish it.
    I have audio selected as MP3 96 kbps, 44.10 KHz in the
    preferences of Publish but there's just nothing.
    Any ideas of what could be going wrong?
    Also, I'm not sure if I should post this in the Recording
    category but during some of these long recordings, part of the
    lectures end up recording blank white slides. There is audio as the
    professor is speaking and surely there's an image on the computer
    with power point but Captivate is recording pure white. Troubling.
    THANKS!

    I have the same problem here. I only have 47 slides, and
    about 12 have audio. The total size of the .cp file is 15 mb. I
    only hear audio when I am looking at the slides and press F3. None
    of the slides are muted. I have made sure that the "Include Audio"
    checkbox is checked. I do not have audio in preview mode or in the
    published swf or exe file. I am at a loss here.

  • Deleting Universal Binary Files

    I have just downloaded OS X Lion and I am trying to delete some file on my Macbook to speed things up.  I have downloaded cleanmymac and it had found universal binary files. Can i delete theses.  I am using a mac with 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo.

    I have some spareparts from my first car, 2th and 3th car, 5th and 6th car... from the 70s and 80s and 90s and we can never know - perhaps one day we need it....  I never dit use one single part yet, because the new cars use more smart devices and parts - the old will never fit... but still I keep all this stuff. My new car have to stay outside, there is no space left in my garage or the carport, because all the spareparts.
    I have also spareparts from my first 8086 PC, Apple II Apple III Lisa 1 + 2, the Commodore 64, Amiga 2000 and all PC and PPC and Mac sience. The parts will not fit in any of the new iPad Post PC Devices anyway. But never know, perhaps one day.... I have to find soon another house - there is no space for me in my bedroom anymore - more spareparts from the first iMac and the MacBooks I do not use anymore because of the iPad...
    So better keep all the Universal Binaries - never know - perhaps one day we need it... ;-)

  • HELP!!!--- Canon Pixma MG5420 Mac OS X 10.5.8 PowerPC Universal Binary Print Driver...... ---

    Greetings Everyone!
    I am a bit miffed at the moment.
    I purchased a Canon Pixma MG5420 Print-Copy-Scan machine with the intention of using it with my Power Mac G5, PowerPC, Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    But alas. Apparently it is not to be. The box in which the printer came cleary displays the Mac Logo and the Universal Logo, the Universal Logo looking like this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_binary
    The Mac OS X system requirements also notate the OS X to be a minimum of 10.5.8!
    The driver CD only contains drivers for Mac OS X Intel.
    So Someone....ANYONE!....please tell me why Canon has stooped to this low level of "False Advertising"???
    Let's FLAG this issue and find out WHY!
    NEED HELP!
    ....and could use working drivers!

    IT"S OFFICIAL!---> Canon has stopped porting any of their drivers to the Universal Binary format for MAC OS X which is a combo installer for PowerPC and Intel machines.
    The MG5420 MFP that I have was released in December 2012 and they *said* that I was the first person to "complain" of this issue!....REALLY!?!?....wow...so there is no one else out there using the PowerPC platform??? I find the G5 (model M9592LL/A) to be quite adequate and useable for what I do!  I guess the engineers couldn't be bothered to "port" it to the PowerPC platform!  Listen Canon, if you don't think the PowerPC is still useable, go visit http://www.macofalltrades.com/ and watch the "trend" of what sells and what doesn't.....or maybe you should call another authority of Apple products http://www.macsales.com/ and ask what volume of PowerPC compatible parts they sell?!  
    And Canon, I know you offered to buy back this "mistake", but for the $99 I bought it at, (extra set of ink not included) I may just hold on to it and do the "workaround" of scanning to and printing from a Windows XP PC shared folder...No, Canon, I'm not completely stupid!....I set-up MFP's for my job, so I know a little bit about networking!  ...enough to be dangerous, at least!  ;-)   Any way, I just got this G5 a year or so ago and it is new to me...I probably wait a little longer and then get an Intel Mac, and THEN it will work natively with this INTEL CANON!....LOL!
    What do you think?!.....Thoughts?.....Ideas?
    Oh, and Canon.....get your "engineering" team and your marketing "box makers/printers" in Thailand to get their "info" to correspond and be accurate....that way there will be no false advertising and misrepresentation of Apple's "Intellectual Property" and "breach of contract!.....You darn well know they have an "Image" to uphold!
    https://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/maclogo.html
    CHEERS!
    PS--you better watch your back Canon on this little faux pas!....Epson might use this to their advertising advantage!....they still support Universal Binary!

  • Will non-universal-binary Logic+plugins run on an Intel Mac?

    Hi,
    this may sound like a dumb question, but I haven't found a straightforward answer on this question yet: will my Logic 7.1 (not Universal Binary) install on an Intel-Mac?? Our local Mac store expected that Rosatta will take care of everything, and that only performance will suffer a bit.
    That would mean that all non-universal-binary plugins would run, too??!!
    Just curious...
    Thanks!

    Hi Jaap,
    In a word, nope!
    It seems you're more informed than your local dealer, :o)
    Rosetta will not handle the plug-ins & third party (AU) need the (U B) upgrades. You need the 7.2 (U. Binary) to run logic on the new Intel machines.

  • Office 2007 Universal Binary?

    Hey everyone, I am going to buy an iMac soon, and will have to purchase Office soon. Does anyone know if it is planned(if at all) to have an Office 2004 UB or just release it as UB in Office 2007. If anyone on the intel core duo iMac with 1GB of memory or less uses the non universal binary version of Office, can you give me a report on how well it runs with Rosetta? Thanks
    Max

    As far as we know, Office should be a UB on the next release.
    It runs, albeit slowly on the stock 512MB that I had in my BlackBook. The added RAM really does make a big difference. If you are running any apps through Rosetta a realistic minimum is 1GB for the RAM. Anything less and you will be choking the system.

  • Why won't XCode 2.2.1 produce a Universal Binary of my program?

    I know that it is unreasonable to expect any specific help with the information provided below, but I hope that someone can point me in the right direction for more effective troubleshooting than I've been able to do on my own. Perhaps there is something obvious I am missing.
    Here are the facts:
    Using Cocoa and XCode 2.2.1 to make a Universal Binary of a small application.
    1. The previously compiled PPC version (560KB) runs under Rosetta.
    2. A simpler version (108KB) was sucessfully compiled as a Universal version.
    3. The expanded version (identical program logic and form - just more of the same - additional variables, objects and methods) appears to compile with two prebind ignore warnings (despite having prebinding disabled).
    4.When the compiled app is run in XCode, the interface window correctly appears, but the app menu bar does not. Selecting an input field places the insertion point correctly, but typed input is displayed in the Run Log window, not in the field text box. Executing a calculation method via a button gives a result consistent with no data in the input fields.
    5. The app/build/Release/App.app file does not have a processor type tag in the Finder Get Info window (ppp or universal).
    6. Double clicking the App.app file produces the error message "You cannot open the application "App" because it may be damaged or incomplete."
    7. The Contents of the App appear to be reasonable in number, names and size compared to the original ppc and simple versions.

    Thanks - I had earlier done what you suggested, with no effect. I finally decided to use a bigger hammer and copy the program files to a new project in XCode/Interface Builder. The most significant labor was re-establishing all the connections in the interface. This version compiles successfully as a Universal (ppc & i386) without compiler errors.
    I am troubleshooting some (now) obvious calculation errors in the original program code that do not affect the results in the ppc version (but should?), and do cause incorrect results in the i386 version.

  • Flash Player Universal Binary

    Hello,
    I recently bought a new imac with intel. when I try to veiw
    sites containing flash content i am directed to a macromedia site
    which says i need to
    1. download flash player universal binanry.
    2. replace old plug in by coping new one into same folder as
    old one
    this has not worked both plug ins remainin file (and I still
    can not access flash) Is it ok to just delete the original plug in?
    or is there an uninstall process? Do you think it will work?
    Thanks Shontelle

    Antonio, I think we may have a communication breakdown here. lol.
    An Intel Binary is for Intel processors only.
    A PowerPC Binary is for PowerPC processors only.
    A Universal Binary is for both.
    Adobe offer an Intel download and a PowerPC download, which would lead one to believe that one is for Intel processors only and one is for PowerPC processors.
    However, the Intel download has "UB" in its filename, which would suggest it is a Universal Binary after all, not an Intel binary as the website states.
    A Universal Binary and an Intel Binary will run the same on an Intel machine, I was just wondering which one it actually was.
