Using a custom video player (skin) for Event Videos?

Hi
I'd like use something other than the 9 standard video skins that come with Captivate 6 (Halo, Clear and Corona). Is it possible to use a custom video player or at least a different skin for an Event video? And, if so, does anyone know where I could find a collection of custom skins (free or otherwise)?
Thanks
Paul

Well sure enough, that WPF MediaKit indeed uses D3DImage for the WPF interop. In fact he does things very similar to me except mostly he seems to use DirectShow whereas I'm 100% Media Foundation. Maybe should rethink that... If only DirectShow had H264
support in Windows 8. Stupid licensing issues. Anyway thanks again for that link.

How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals in Report Builder 3.0?

In Report Builder 3.0, I have the following custom code entered:
Public Function SafeDivide(Numerator as String, Denominator as String) as String
Try
If Numerator = “” or Denominator = “” then
Return “-“
End if
If Numerator = “-“ or Denominator = “-“ then
Return “-“
End If
If CDbl(Numerator) =0 or CDbl(Denominator) = 0 then
Return “-“
End if
If IsNothing(Numerator) or IsNothing(Denominator) then
Return "-"
End if
Return Val( ( (CDbl(Numerator) / CDbl(Denominator) )*100 ) )
Catch
Return "-"
End Try
End Function
I call the custom code in the cell with the following equation:
=Code.SafeDivide(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value),sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value))
I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
I want the result to be formatted as a Percentage, but instead I get values like:
-78.9473684210
80
300
-100
I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals?

Hi AngP,
After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it. Based on my research, I find this issue is caused by the type of Units_VAR_Percentage cell is string, while the type of CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value) is double, so they cannot be
compared.
To fix this issue, we can add a hidden column (Textbox91) next to the Units_VAR_Percentage column, and type =(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value)) /sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value) as the expression. Then use the expression below to control the
BackgroundColor:
=iif(iif(reportitems!Units_VAR_Percentage.Value=CStr(format(reportitems!Textbox91.Value,"0.00%")),reportitems!Textbox91.Value,0)>CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value),"Yellow","PaleTurquoise")
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Custom Presenter player skin?

Is there a way to customize Presenter's player? I want/need to redesign and arrange the player bar. Is there an API or FLA to tweak to achieve this?
Similar to this in Articulate:
http://www.mozealous.com/how-i-created-a-custom-articulate-presenter-skin-in-less-than-an- hour-2/

I don't think you can. The only customization that you can do with it is within the Settings >Appearance tab> Theme Editor. I know that doesn't help much but even with a connect pro server license one can't do much with customization.
Have you considered using Captivate? It does have more options to the play bar.
Good Luck.

JSF: Using own custom styles in skin css file?

I have created custom skin by defining custom css file and implementing predefined ADF style definitions (aliases).
Also, I need some other styles for use on specific parts i application, and my idea was to put these styles in same css file which is used in skin definition.
For example:
.footer_txt {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; color: #FFFFFF}
My intention was to use this styles in styleClass attribute of various
adf faces components
But after starting application, I can't find my additional styles in generated css file (pfmskin-desktop-10_1_3_1_0-ie).
Looks like that css generator is ignoring any styles which are not ADF predefined styles?
I was thinking that this is possible, because at the end of srdemo.css file (in SRDemo application) there is one part like this
/* custom styles that I made up and set on the styleClass attribute of various
adf faces components */
.adfFacesDemoSearchPanelGroup
width:100%;
padding:6px 6px 6px 26px;
background-color: #0099CC;
I can put my styles in separate css file, but then I have to include this file in every application page...
Is it possible to have custom defined styles in skin css file, and use them in styleClass attribute?

Hi,
skinning only works with the ADF faces skin selectors. There are plans to support custom selectors in a future version

Using ATV as media player exclusively for years, now what?

My G5 crashed more than a year ago. I was using my ATV and imac together flawlessly. Since the crash, I was unable to afford a new one, so I was using the ATV as my only link to the internet and purchased quite a bit of media from itunes. I finally have a computer again, albeit a PC but would like to get the purchases back to a itunes library on the computer. I am aware I cannot get the pictures and non-itunes music back, but can I get the music and videos I bought back on to a PC before the 1st gen ATV crashes too?
Im aware that I can search the itunes store for every song/album I've bought and act like Im purchasing it again, and it sometimes says, " youve already purchased this song, would you like to download it again?" and sometimes it says, " youve already purchased this song, would you like to purchase it again?"
Any ideas? I've spent too much $$$ on this media to purchase it again or walk away from it.

Some people have reported that setting up a new Computer to sync will not delete items that are purchased but have not transferred back to iTunes.
I have not been in this situation so cannot confirm, but one would hope that this is the case - clearly other material such as photos/non Tunes music will delete in preparation for a new sync library, as perhaps will any previously purchased content you had already transferred to he iMac.
You may want to contact iTunes Store support and ask them if it's safe to do this - if they say yes non-transferred material will not be deleted, then at least you have some bargaining power if things don't go as planned to potentially re-enable downloads from iTunes on the new computer (their discretion entirely though).
There are unsupported free and commercial hacks for AppleTV that may allow you to directly access the AppleTv hard drive content but they are not necessarily straightforward without some technical knowledge but might let you recover all content. If the other content such as photos is of value to you, you may want to consider this course, but no guarantees of success and we can't go into detail here.
Good luck.
I just mention this as when you set up a new sync connection it will erase stuff transferred from iTunes.

How do i download and use adobe reader, flash player etc for windows 7 64 bit program. nothing works

I have tried almost everything and adobe stuff doesn't work with windows 7 64 bit program. SUGGESTIONS?

Hi, First, you must use the 32bit since Adobe Flash Player does not support the 64bit. Second you must be the Administrator in order to install the ActiveX Control and write to the Windows Registry which Flash Player does.
Read over this Adobe Uninstall info: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

Custom Video Size

I'm new to FCE and I'm stuck on something that is so simple to do in older products like Premiere: I wish to use a custom video size. I have footage captured years ago at 768x576 which I'd like to work with at that resolution, and I've also a need to work at 128x128@15fps. I don't want to go back to Premiere on OS 9 (which does the job with a few clicks) and I don't want to pay the extra for FCP. Is it not possible just to edit the FCE's presets?
Thanks,
Carl
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.9) Size isn't everything...

No, it is not. FCE is a fixed resolution editing application. It only works in DV nd HDV size formats and frame rates.

Standard or custom procurment ODS, InfoCube for BI-7.0 implementation

hai
we are implementing BI-7.0 for first time to the clien for <b>procurement</b> .
so we need to extract the data from EKKO,EKPO and some other procurment tables.
so can if i use 2LIS_02_HDR, 2LIS_02_ITM . can i use the standard 'purchasing' ods and infocube.
If i want to use standard purchasing ods,infocube then they are in BW 3.0 . But we want in BI 7.0.
So what can i do for this one. Otherwise can i use the custom ods and InfoCube for procurement secario.
pls suggestion mw wht i have to do ..
i will assing the points
kumar

Hi.
I thought you asked me if it was OK to use the standard DSO and Cube from rel 3.0 although you are on 7.0?
You should use that DSO and cube, that's what I meant. You will not have any problems with using them although you are on a 7.0 system.
Hope I'm cear, or have I misunderstood anything?
Kind regards

Merge Flash Player Skin with Flash Video for Single Flash File

My company uses a content management system for it's website and I am the administrator. The CMS does not require or use html code. I am a new to Flash, but I am able to produce some simple files. I have compiled a simple 2 minute video clip that I need to upload to my companies website. The Flash file requires a player skin which I was able to produce. I understand that when you output to Flash, two files are created. As I understand it, one file is for the skin and the other is for the movie along with the html code that links the two. Unfortunately, our content management system does not recognize the link between these two sets of files and I am unable to import them. I can import the flash movie clip without the player, but that does not suit my needs. I can import the player skin without the movie, but there would be no point. Is there a way to output both files into a single Flash file with the player skin embedded into the Flash movie? I have the full Adobe Master Suite CS4, is it possible another program could be used for that purpose or is this an impossibility? Any information you could provide would be appreciated...thanks...

Custom skin for FLVPlayback

Hi ..
I am trying to create a custom skin for the FLVPlayback componenet... I was wondering if someone could point me in a direction of a comprehensive tutorial..
Thanks a bunch!!

Hello,
I have been attempting to use this code with the FLVPlayback
component - when tested, the component and placeholder image both
load, but once the user hits the play button I get an error code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must
be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at video_fla::MainTimeline/removePF()
The video still plays, but the placeholder image doesn't get
removed.
This is the actionscript I'm using:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
var pfContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
myPlayer.addChildAt(pfContainer, 1);
var pf:Loader = new Loader();
pf.load(new URLRequest('slatepf.png'));
pfContainer.addChild(pf);
pfContainer.x = 0;
pfContainer.y = 0;
myPlayer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED,
removePF);
function removePF(e:Event):void{
removeChild(pfContainer);
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

How do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom drawn components of a Flex library project?

Hello folks,
I am looking for best practices advice when (1) creating
custom components and (2) styling and skinning.
I already know how to skin a component part of the Flex
framework. I can make a class extending ProgrammaticSkin and have
my component skinned using CSS to link the component with the
reference to my custom class.
However what about those cases when you are completely
creating a component from scratch?
Imagine a "Freehand Drawing Canvas" component that allows the
user to draw on it and has some buttons to set color styles, line
styles, etc., or imagine a "Screen Flow Gallery" component that
displays visual objects in a fashion similar to Cover Flow in the
Mac.
In many components I am aware you may reuse other components
part of the Flex framework but I am trying to picture an scenario
where you would need to draw everything yourself because there just
isn't something to base it upon so you will end up drawing it from
scratch.
To learn how instead of building one of those components I
mentioned previously I decided to start with something simple that
would illustrate this like a LiteButton component that will behave
just like the Flex mx.controls.Button but will extend UIComponent
and be completely custom drawn.
The component will have a default look and will also be
style-able and skin-able. I will provide styles for users of the
component to modify and regarding skinning anyone can create a
custom ProgrammaticSkin adding its own drawing logic and link it to
the component via CSS with the ClassReference applied to the skin
selector.
So far so good and it's clear what I want to achieve. I
actually know how to do most of the stuff here but I have one
single problem.
Here is my question, where should I put my custom drawing
logic? If I do it in the updateDisplayList inside the class
extending UIComponent it works, however I thought that it would be
a better practice to do it using programmatic skins, that way I
could provide different skin themes for my component set.
The problem is that I can't make the programmatic work in
this scenario. I tried instantiating the custom programmatic skin
during the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton component and adding
it to my display object via addChild but that didn't do anything. I
also tried creating a "default.css" stylesheet and tried to use
ClassReference as I would normally do to skin an already existing
component (or composite component as well) but that didn't do
anything either.
So how do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom
drawn components of my Flex library project?
I could do it inside the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton
class extending UIComponent but again I would like to provide
different theme sets for my components so it makes sense using
programmatic skins.

These aren't mutually exclusive. When you provide a skin with
a
TypeSelector, you have to add it to the display list
somewhere, and this is
typically done in updateDisplayList or addChildren. I prefer
to do it in
updateDisplayList, because you can then change it if the
style changes.

I've never had any problem using an approach similar to
this...but I will
say that I couldn't see any advantage in creating a
default.css style sheet,
since it's not really default in the way that the one that
comes with Flex
is. It's much more obvious to anyone using your component
what's going on
there if you create a style sheet where they're likely to
spot it.

It seems like your approach is fine, but maybe you've made a
mistake in your
implementation.

You might want to consider also adding an instance of
HaloBorder to your
component. That brings a lot of functionality with it.

How to add new skins for Adobe Flash Player in DW CS4?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to insert a FLV file into my webpage using Insert | Media | FLV... from the top menu bar in dreamweaver cs4.
When the "Insert FLV" window opens up, I see a drop down list of different skins (clear skin, corona skin and halo skin) for the flash player, but none of these skins has the Full Screen button on it. How can i add a new skin to this drop down list that contains the full screen toggle?
Also, I'm using the Design view to build my website as I'm not very familiar with any kind of code.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

How can i add a new skin to this drop down list that contains the full screen toggle?
You can't. You need a height and width for your player to appear correctly on the html page.
Also, I'm using the Design view to build my website as I'm not very familiar with any kind of code.
That's a real shame. You're severely limited working only in Design View. Kind of like working with a pencil between your teeth and both hands tied behind your back. Web design is all about code. While you're learning, you should at least keep split screen open so you can see the code DW writes.
