Teach me to fish!

I'm working on a PC (not a MAC) using Flash and Premier Pro CS3.
PROBLEM: I want to save a Flash animation and place it in Premier Pro.
I don't have Quicktime installed on the PC so I exported the animation as an AVI instead. When I imported the .avi animation into Premiere it was small in size and the image quality was very low. Illegible.
QUESTIONS:
A.) Do I have to have Quicktime installed on a PC? If so, where can I get it?
B.) With Quicktime installed, will I be able to save Flash animation as an .mov? I've visited a few forums that seem to say that CS3 doesn't work with Quicktime now.
C.) How come there aren't a billion different ways to save a Flash file and import it into Premier? Why isn't it easy? They're both Adobe products. AM I MISSING SOMETHING?
Thanks in advance to all of you wicked smart folks!

Well I'm not one of the "wicked smart folks" so I need to know at least the following from you:
- What
codec did you use in the AVI
export?
- What
pixel resolution and
pixel aspect ratio did you use for the
export?
- What is the
pixel resolution and
pixel aspect ratio of your
project?
Cheers

  • I want to save 2 users game data now, use Properties?

    hi, i just realized that by using "Properties" to save a users game data like the following
    experience=2000;
    level=3;
    zone=forest;
    it will write to the text file, but i just realized, when another user goes to play my game, how do i save his game in another spot, can i still use Properties? otherwise, the new user will get the previous user's saved data. and just when i was all happy about saving ONE users data. HAHAHA. :-D

    its a simple text based game. ive already written one in C++ it will be no problem in Java. but im a bit pissed off that people have a problem with me using their code that they FREELY gave me in the forum to help me. if they have a problem with it, they should give it out in the first place. i got my questions answered and thats what i wanted today. i just gave navy coder 10 duke stars for his work, and my thanks. thats all i can give. i gave the other guy who wrote my code 8 duke stars, and my thanks. now that im using the code, why are they bitter and angry at me after they freely gave it to me , i never said I wrote the code myself. so stop being bitter at me. im just trying to get my questions answered, and yes when i write the rest of the game which is not that hard, i WILL be solving my own problems. youre just seeing a major problem that is PART of my game im having. derekI think you've misunderstood. Nobody's pissed off at you, well, certainly I'm not, and I can't see that anyone else is either. But you just seem to be relying on the forum to write the bits you can't, rather than put in a bit of effort to do it yourself. That's not very satisfying. You were going to use a database for this, and thank god I talked you into using Properties instead, because some poor guy would now be writing reams of JDBC code and SQL for you, and telling you how to install and configure MySQL and Connector/J. I prefer teaching people to fish rather than giving them dinner, it's a bit disheartening when people don't go for that approach. But nobody's pissed off at you. In all seriousness, I think you've been working away at this all weekend without much of a break and it's getting to you. Do yourself a favour and take the night off. It'll all seem so much easier when you've been away from it for a bit

  • Too Much Code? Novice Question

    Greetigns,
    First off, know I searched for an answer but being that I am
    new to the AS game (as well as programming in general) I coudl not
    find an answer that suited my needs. I am using Flash CS3 w/ AS3
    Basically I have a row of images that serve as thumbnails;
    when I mouse over each thumbnail it changes the image in the
    background of my movie clip.
    I have assigend each thumbnail image an instance name and
    created a simple function to swap the image out. Everything is
    working great, and you can call me greedy, but I have a sneaking
    suspission that I could accomplish my goal with far less code using
    a variable.
    Anyone care to teach me to fish? Code below.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Grouping and ordering data

    I want to use grouped data from a query column. At the
    moment I can output and group the data using cfifs dependant
    on months and years. How can I find recordcounts and use the
    variables #doct07# #dnov07# #ddec07# #djan08# #dfeb08# #dmar08# so
    they keep the values in the cfoutput query? TIA
    <cfquery name="qrysales">
    SELECT clientinfo.visit
    FROM clientinfo
    order by clientinfo.visit
    </cfquery>
    <cfoutput query="qrysales">
    <cfset datesbymonth=(month(qrysales.visit))>
    <!--- 2007 entries --->
    <cfif qrysales.visit contains "2007">
    <cfif datesbymonth eq 10>
    <cfset doct07=#datesbymonth#>
    #doct07#
    <cfelseif datesbymonth eq 11>
    <cfset dnov07=#datesbymonth#>
    #dnov07#
    <cfelseif datesbymonth eq 12>
    <cfset ddec07=#datesbymonth#>
    #ddec07#</cfif>
    <!--- 2008 entries --->
    <cfelseif qrysales.visit contains "2008">
    <cfif datesbymonth eq 1>
    <cfset djan08=#datesbymonth#>
    #djan08#
    <cfelseif datesbymonth eq 2>
    <cfset dfeb08=#datesbymonth#>
    #dfeb08#
    <cfelseif datesbymonth eq 3>
    <cfset dmar08=#datesbymonth#>
    #dmar08#
    </cfif>
    </cfif>
    </cfoutput>

    See attached screen shot:
    To understand how the optional grouping works look at the attached
    example. I put some print lines on two charts that write out to a file.
    You will need to change the location. In that example my data comes
    in like:
    sourcedata[0][0] = 10;
    sourcedata[0][1] = "Chris Kwai";
    sourcedata[0][2] = 232;
    sourcedata[1][0] = 10;
    sourcedata[1][1] = "Ice Bella";
    sourcedata[1][2] = 291;
    sourcedata[2][0] = 10;
    sourcedata[2][1] = "Nola Dicci";
    sourcedata[2][2] = 567;
    sourcedata[3][0] = 11;
    sourcedata[3][1] = "Chris Kwai";
    sourcedata[3][2] = 312;
    sourcedata[4][0] = 11;
    sourcedata[4][1] = "Ice Bella";
    sourcedata[4][2] = 614;
    sourcedata[5][0] = 11;
    sourcedata[5][1] = "Nola Dicci";
    sourcedata[5][2] = 212;
    So for 3 users I have 10 and 11 value. If I do not optionally group my
    chart (But I group sum on x-axis) gets two sets of data one for the
    category and one for the summed values for each user.
    Series Data <undefined>
    Chris Kwai
    Ice Bella
    Nola Dicci
    Series Data <undefined>
    544.0
    905.0
    779.0
    If I use optional grouping I get three sets of data. One for the
    category and then one for each optional group (ie 10 and 11):
    Series Data <undefined>
    Chris Kwai
    Ice Bella
    Nola Dicci
    Series Data for month 10
    232.0
    291.0
    567.0
    Series Data for month 11
    312.0
    614.0
    212.0
    This will then draw two bars (10 and 11) for each user.
    Does this make sense?

  • Copying Finder items into same folder as Action

    I want an Action that can copy Finder items directly into the same folder the Action resides in, i.e. without specifying where or asking the user where.
    Is this possible? All I've been able to create so far is an Action whereby I need to specify the folder or get the user to specify it.

    OK, I am now going to try to teach you to fish
    It might be a little bit easier to visualize if you think of the values passed along in your workflow as a stack of playing cards. Some actions do something with the cards and then just pass them on, some take all of the cards, and others add cards to the stack. The Set Value of Variable action takes the current stack of cards (the results of any previous action(s)), assigns it to a variable that is named whatever you want to name it, and passes the stack on to the next action. The Get Value of Variable gets the value of one of your previously named variables and adds it to the stack. You can also use a previously named variable in input fields of various actions, such as locations to copy to. I'm not sure why you are getting the path to the desktop (unless that is where your workflow application is located), but here are some additional comments for my previously posted workflow:
    1) Run Applescript (with the Applescript posted earlier)
    - if your workflow has been saved as an application, the results of this action will be a path to the folder that it is in (if not, the path will be to where the Automator application is, which isn't what you want)
    2) Set Value of Variable
    - this action will take that path, assign it to a variable with your specified name, and pass it on
    3) New Folder
    - this action makes a folder with the specified name in the specified location - you can drag variables into these fields, in which case their current values are what will be used
    - the result of this action is a new folder, and the path to the folder is added to the current stack of cards (if any) and passed on to the next action
    - since we just want the path to the new folder (and none of the previous cards), first we throw away any cards we may have (with the "ignore input" option) so that our results don't get mixed up.
    4) Set Value of Variable
    - same as (2) above, except that the value is now the path to the folder that got made in the previous action (3)
    5) Ask for Finder Items (Type: files, Allow Multiple Selection)
    - the results of this action will be whatever items you selected, and of course, they will be added to our current stack of cards unless we throw them away first with the "ignore input" option
    6) Copy Finder Items
    - this will copy Finder items (the ones we selected in the previous action) to the location that is specified - you can drag a variable into the To: field, in which case it's current value is what will be used.
    - the result of this action will be the paths to the items that were just copied, but since this is the end of the workflow it doesn't matter
    You can use the View Results action to see what the current stack of cards is, so you can see if what is going in and coming out of your actions is what you expect, and tweak accordingly.

  • Samsung CLP-315 doesn't print

    I was looking through this discussions for two days now and tried everything to make my Samsung CLP-315 print via Time Capsule. If I plug the printer into my iMac it works fine, but if I plug it into Time Capsule it will print a few times only. I'm very disappointed because the printer is Mac compatible and Time Capsule is supposed to support all printers, since there is no list of supported printers.
    I guess it can only be a compatibility problem...

    It seems like this list is marketed a lot by the experts. Can you please teach us to fish? What are the specs to look for / ask about to determine compatibility? HP had a matrix on their drivers of some sort on their website a while back, but cannot find it.
    The problem is this - folks want to buy a printer; which should they buy? Apple keeps thinking of the problem as - i have a printer, how do i get it to work. The latter may be valid - but I keep reading the former and it doesn't appear as if it can be addressed.
    Please help us use your products. thank you.

  • Force vert scroll bar & good design reference

    OK, yes I'm a self-taught nube with LiveCycle. After numerous tutorials and lots of reading, I know I need to code to force vertical scroll bars to appear as default on a multi-line text field. I'm a designer - not a coder- and I have yet to find an example to plagiarize work off of. Can somebody please show me how?
    Also, I started by scanning a form and letting LC design a form from that. As I explore the hierarchy, I cannot decipher the magical, mystical logic as to how text and text fields are distributed amongst cells, paragraphs, and rows; why some tables get a header row and others have the header shoved into a body row; and so on. To further my education, can somebody also point me to a good treatise (preferable on-line) for basic best-practices for design within LiveCycle?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Finding and removing malware, key-loggers, spyware

    There have been many threads about finding keylogers and spywear on OSX, but most of them are akin to giving a man a fish than teaching him to fish. For instance Linc Davis responded to the below thread with some instructions in terminal and requested the output be copied to the thread. This will not help anyone who doesn't have access to a "Linc Davis."
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4243511?start=0&tstart=0
    Is there a tutorial or something that we can use to monitor these kinds of things? I look in Console, Activity Monitor, Little Snitch but I don't really know what I'm looking for. And when you do find it how do you remove it? I heard once that if you back up your infected computer to a drive and computer you now connect that drive to can get infected (like my freshly wiped HD with a new copy of OSX). A list of all known malware process names.
    After looking at my output in the above link someone suggested that  com.BT.kext.bpkkext was a suspect and that Blazing tools Perfect Keylogger was the software. I can't remove it; I even downloaded the uninstaller from Blazing tools.

    Here is my output, if someone only has time for a fish instead of a leason. Thanks in Advanced!

  • How to keep the horizontal top column letters and left row numbers????

    When working on a table, there is a vertical column on the left of the row numbers and a row across the top with letters that identify columns. I would like to keep this (as in Appleworks) but whenever I click on the table, or use Print View, or Print, these two identifying features disappear! I have tried everything to keep them, but no luck. Is there any way to do this?
    thanks

    Hello
    may you take care of the existence of the Search field on the right side of this forum?
    may you also look at the already existing threads (at least in the first two pages).
    Your question is available four or five rows below yours.
    Using it with the button more options and selecting The Numbers forum
    enter the keywords lock AND title .
    You will discover that yoy may get quick respnce to a lot of questions without asking for them in the forums.
    I know that some posters dislike this kind of response.
    I think that it's more useful to teach how to fish than to give a fish

  • Confused about why LR 4.3 won't export jpgs

    Good evening, major frustration.
    I apparently cannot export some jpegs from my catalogs after about 4pm this afternoon.
    Win 7 64 bit-24gigs ram LR 4.3 exporting onto Local h
    LR 4.2 simply stopped at 12% exporting low res files to a local HD-
    rather than bore with specifics location suffice to say, there was nothing different in the manner in which the files were exported that worked previously.
    The program simply stated it was exporting the files, then promptly stopped.
    I upgraded to LR 4.3 in the hopes that something would fix, nothing did.
    however I can export full res 300 dpi @ 100 quality with no restrictions, while this is fine, I need to produce low res watermarked versions for online as well as registration.
    Whilst I appreciate inquiry about what I am doing differently, please note the answer is nothing, my workflow is the same as it was for years.
    I'm hoping someone could think outside the box (and that doesn't mean do I have Admin privleges?) and suggest what might be INTERRUPTING the output of lower res jpegs, or what signals might have been corrupted.
    *I have not changed any program, altered any firewall, etc. etc. prior to this problem occurring, it simply started.
    I am positive that it's some kind of interference with the command, I simply do not possess the technical know-how to spot check local/app/local settings gobbeldy-****...Damn it Jim, I'm a photographer, not a code breaker.
    So, any input that doesn't involve the previously mentioned spot fixes like-reboot-upgrade-admin-new program, and instead can suggest WHY this is happening, and thus teaching me to fish in this instance.
    would be appreciated.
    Again-export to (local HD) will not operate, simply hangs whilst the memory usage of the CPU increases and increases, the program is doing something-it just isn't producing jpegs. (and no-these jpegs are being looked for in the correct location)
    thanks

    You are going to have to render using lightroom in order to use the latest ACR updates since you can no longer get ACR updates for PS CS4.  But when you click on Render using LR, it still should open in CS4 I would think.  You might be able to fix this by telling LR that you have another editing program, CS4, and then select it instead of the generic photoshop at the top of the this.  But I would not think that you would have to do this. 

  • Why Do Questions never get exact answers????

    I find that the answers to questions here are so vague. Anyone agree? No wonder why software companies want staff with good communication skills.
    I asked 2 questions and wanted exact answers not "click on this link" or 2 or 3 words that put me in the general direction. I've already spent hours researching the problem so I've got a pretty good idea what to do

    "Give someone a fish and they eat for a day. Teach someone to fish and they eat for life"
    My answers are based on the context of the question. And frankly your questions have not been very clear and we have had to guess what you are asking.
    That is why many of answer include a link to a section in the tutorial. The hope is that you actually read the applicable section and then remember to use the tutorial as a reference "before" asking further questions on other topics.
    We are not here to do your homework for you. We are here to provide guidance and point you in the right direction.
    The more effort you put into a question that shows that you've done some basic problem solving on your own, the better the information you will get in your answer.
    In one of your questions you where asked to provide a small demo program and your response was:
    "i'm using the built in form editor so its not really that small but here is a snippet:"
    This is exactly my point. If you are not will to take 5 minutes to create a simple demo program showing what you are attempting to do then don't expect us to provide working code either. If you truly understand your problem then a demo program can be created in 20-30 lines of code.
    If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
    And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.
    Also, remember, you get what you pay for.

  • Pin to taskbar common MS Office programs during OSD

    sccm2007 sp2 R2; Windows 7 x64 - OSD image.
    i am trying to pinning some office applications like word, excel, ppt, outlook to taskbar after office 2007 installed in osd image.
    I tried unattend.xml file (4 specialize\Taskbarlinks) with no luck.
    Link0 :%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Office Excel 2007.lnk
    Link1 : %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.lnk
    Link2 : %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Office Word 2007.lnk
    I had tried following
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2009/04/08/pin-items-to-the-start-menu-or-windows-7-taskbar-via-script.aspx?PageIndex=3#comments
    cscript.exe %SCRIPTROOT%\PinItem.wsf /item:"%CSIDL_COMMON_PROGRAMS%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Office Word 2007.lnk" /taskbar
    No Lucks.
    Thanks in advance if someone can assist on this.
    orion

    When  you are working for over 20 thousand computers, it is nice to have pin atleast office applications....
    Sorry, that's what I get for skimming.
    Not to turn this into a sidebar of whether you should or shouldn't, but 20,000 users means 20,000 different ways of doing something -- why is your opinion of pinning things to the taskbar taking precedence over the user's opinion? I'm not trying to say your
    opinion isn't valid, but it's only valid for you. If the user's want to pin something to the taskbar, teach them how -- teach them to fish.

  • [Solved] Trick pacman into thinking I have installed a package

    First, I would like to say that if there's another thread on this, I haven't found it. I did find one similar thread that was solved, but the person that solved it just gave a PKGBUILD and told the user to install it. I'd at least like to know what he/she did so I can do it on my own. The package I self-compiled was different from his, so I cannot use his solution, plus I just like to know how to do these things should the problem ever show itself again or I need to do this to another package or for another person. Give someone a fish/teach someone to fish...
    That aside, one of the first things I did with my arch box was compile JACK myself. I always like to tweak it's options and make it just right for what I want to use it for, and I use an irregular version, so it made sense to compile it from source. One configure, make, make install later, I had JACK in my system! Unfortunately when compiling like that, pacman's database isn't updated so it was convinced that I did not, in fact, have jack. Since then I have lived with editing jack out of the PKGBUILDs of any jack-requiring package I wanted to install.
    There has to be a better way! So, I call upon you, those who are archier than I, to assist me in solving my problem! I've been using linux for years, so you don't have to explain it to a three year old, but I have only been using arch for a couple months (and so far, it's AWESOME!). Thanks in advance, and have a great day!

    My apologies, I've never made a pkgbuild before. I don't make packages, I just use them.
    I did make a PKGBUILD just now, though, and it does appear to work. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
    For anyone else that needs this, I'll copy and paste what I have in the PKGBUILD file. If it's wrong, you can slap me on the wrist, but it seemed to do the job!
    pkgname=('jack-fake')
    pkgver=('1.9.5')
    pkgrel=('1')
    arch=('x86_64')
    provides=('jack')

  • Weblogic 9.2 and Java 1.4

    I've been unable to find clear, authoritative information on this...
    I have an app which requires Java 1.4.x. Should I be able to deploy it on WL 9.2, or does 9.2 only support apps written in 1.5?
    Can anyone teach me to fish here, and point me in the direction of the information that will answer this?
    Thanks,
    Paul
    === Some Details: ===
    If I attempt to create a new Domain using Java 1.4 I get the following Exception on startup:
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/management/DynamicMBean
    If I create a new Domain using 1.5 start up is fine, but the 1.4 based app doesn't run (it happens to be the ColdFusion 7 Administrator).
