How to use java output with other application

hi ,
I am using acme.crypto to encrypt data. this is completely written in java. i need to pass input to this using VB6 and return the output to VB6
how can i achieve the same, is there any readily available dll that can be used in vb?
I am rigorously searching solution, which i am not finding.
I need to know how should i place the java code so that it could be used with VB, as i am new to java world. Do i need to create component using java bean or how?
The code i refered above is nothing but encryption algorithm. I need to pass the input string from vb to java, which will process me the output which inturn should be passed to vb6.
Kindly guide me through this.

Why not create a Java ServerSocket in your Java program.
Connect the VB program to this ServerSocket.
Send the input to the Java Program over this socket and have the Java Program encrypt the information and pass it back on the same socket.
Don't know how hard Sockets are in VB6 but a Server Socket in Java is simple.
No need for new DLLs, JNI, etc.

Use TTS in Adobe Captivate 6 other than NeoSpeech

Hello,
I would like to test out some other TTS voices other than Neospeech - namely Acapela. Does anyone have experience incorporating the TTS with Captivate. I believe I download a SDK from the TTS provider and need to somehow incorporate this with Adobe Captivate. Sorry if I sound I don't know what I am talking about -- this is all new terrirtory for me.
Thank you !

Hi Vikram,
Thanks for the tip!

Teething troubles with Using Adobe Captivate

Hello I have never used Adobe Captivate before, and would be grateful for some answers. I know people are very busy and may not want to deal with beginners but any comments suggestions partial tips will be gratefully appreciated
I am trying to do screen recording and run into difficulties. I want to record a short (<10min) video of an instructive tutorial that plays on the internet. This tutorial has slides, and it is advanced by hand (manually) to the next slide
I was able to record video correctly, using the "Full Motion" mode. But when I use the other 2 available modes: I.e,Automatic, and Manual, I am not able to record. What happens it, I merely get a still picture upon playback, that runs as a video for 3 seconds. It turns out somewhere in "settings" there is a default which says slide length =3sec. It looks like what I am getting recorded is a single slide, containing the very 1st scene. What have I done wrong?
What I need to record are slides, some of which contain video and speech, some containing video but no speech,some are stills. In the Full Motion Mode
The video is being recorded split into many bits , and these bits (slides) are unequal in length, the first slide being of longest duration, the last slide is of shortest duration. Should they not equal in length? Also how to convert into "normal" formats like AVI? What kind of media player would play these presentations/slide shows when each slide is a short video? Further I do not hear any audio.
Also what is panning
I am shunned because I am a woman and no one helps me with anything because I am supposed by a tacit rule to be with women ALL THE TIME and I am failing in what I am supposed to do. I have no means of using my brain or actively pursuing science and technology, and others in it will not speak to me because of my defiance of that rule. I hope some MAN who doesn't mind will volunteer answers and I promise not to bother you again. I won't speak to you again, I wont come ont his site again, I have women's numbers.I wil be very grateful if you help me
Thanking you,
Yours SIncerely,

Hi folks and welcome to our community Milliemachine3
All I can say is... wow! I'm not sure where you live, but it sounds sort of "stuck in time" if you are really made to feel like an outcast just because your body has different parts.
All that aside, I'll take a stab at answering your questions.

The only thing you have done wrong is to misunderstand how Captivate is used to record screen activity. How successful you will be will depend on the version of Captivate you have installed as well as what your operating system is. For example, if you have Windows 7 64 bit and you are trying to use Captivate 4 (or earlier) you will likely encounter problems. But if you were using Windows XP you would likely be fine.
You may also be misunderstanding exactly how Captivate records the screen.

I'm not sure I've ever seen ANY software that does a flawless job of recording screen video where you are playing a video clip. You have to understand that video is usually memory and processor intensive. Not only for recording it, but also for playing it back. If you can, you will likely achieve your best result by locating the actual source file for the video and using that with Captivate. However, this somewhat depends on your Captivate version.
Also what is panning
Panning is a feature that allows you to record a smaller area of your screen. As you move the cursor around, the recording area is shifted to include parts of the screen that maybe weren't in the recording before. Maybe you are recording a 200x200 sized area. You are in the upper left corner of the screen performing some activity such as opening the File menu. But you move the mouse over to the right side to scroll the page. The recording would look as if you were peering through a small window and the larger area that was formerly hidden would appear in the window.
I am shunned because I am a *woman* and no one helps me with anything because I am supposed by a tacit rule to be with women ALL THE TIME and I am failing in what I am supposed to do.

Well, I sincerely wish you the best in your Captivate journeys. Hopefully it will comfort you to know that what you are experiencing isn't a universal rule. I think women and men are equals. And anyone that believes differently has a very stilted view of the world.

Can i use Airplay with other applications different to iTunes on my Mac Pro?

Hi,
I bought a Mac Pro 13' Retina Display two weeks ago and today i bought a Bose SoundTouch 20 and i connected both to my home network by ethernet cord. when i try to use applications like iTunes to send the sound of a song from mac to bose it work perfect, but when i try to do the same with spottily (i downloaded the app for my mac) simply doesn't work and don't know why. Another issue is that either can't send the sound of the movies and videos from mac to bose (i already try this using this configuration: send by airplay the movie to apple tv and from apple tv send the sound to bose, all work perfect because all was connected with ethernet cord).
So the question is, Anyone know why the Airplay function only work with iTunes and with other applications simply doesn't?

AirPlay only works with iTunes for Mac OS, iOS devices, and Apple TV.
Not third party (non Apple) apps such as Spotify
If the Bose Sound Touch supports Bluetooth, you may be able to stream music to the Mac or Apple TV. That's for sound, not video.

When I'm using a browser (like Safari) in Yosemite, how can I shrink it and share my desktop with other applications?

I have an iMac, and after installing Yosemite (OS 10.10), all my browsers (like Safari) no longer share the screen with other applications, like Word or even Calculator. How can I shrink Safari (or any browser) and share my desktop with other applications?

When I'm using any browser (at the moment, it's Safari), I am unable to resize the window. The browser BECOMES my entire desktop. And if I open another application, suddenly the browser vanishes to the right, so I can only see the other app. AND my dock disappears into a solid black space below the screen, which I can penetrate with my curser (after dragging the curser back and forth above and below the black space until the dock eventually reappears. But if I select any app in the browser to open, then Safari vanishes instantly to the right of the screen. I've tried to resize Safari (and Firefox and Chrome) by moving the curser to the bottom right of the browser, but that old standby doesn't seem to work anymore. The browser takes up all of the screen, except for a small portion of the top, where my curser can reveal Safari's old menus, and the bottom of the screen, which is entirely black until I can locate my dock by dunking the curser up and down in the black ooze.
I really want the old convenience of my Mac, where several programs can open side by side, but Yosemite seems to have precluded that possibility. What can I do?

Yes, mission control threw everything across the screen (which is way beyond anything I could figure out), but the real answer I needed came from Apple Tech Support, which I finally called, and I learned about the two arrows in the top righthand corner, when I held the cursor there, which turned blue and resized and released the browser from total domination of the screen. Those two, opposite-pointing arrows allowed me to shrink the browser and let other applications be seen on the desktop. But thank you for extending a helpful tip, which I can use another time.

I have a MacBook Pro with mountain Lion, I was wondering if I could use dictation or any other application to have a voice password.

I have a MacBook Pro with mountain Lion, I was wondering if I could use dictation or any other application to have a voice password.

I'm not aware of any application that will allow this. Most applications won't launch until after you login (which would include any utility that could do this). I'm not sure how much use there would be for something like this. For obvious reasons, a spoken password isn't particularly secure. I would imagine a blind person using a computer would still be able to manually enter a password. I would make sense for folks with other types of disabilities I suppose... so long as there isn't anyone around whenever they use their password.

Using AirTunes with other applications

What I want to do is to stream the audio output from the 2 laptops in my house (MacBooks with Leopard) wirelessly to a hi-fi. I know an AirPort Express will do this with iTunes, but I don't think it will work with other applications, which is what I want.
Am I right, and is there any cost-effective way to do what I want to do (Apple solution or not)?
Thanks in advance.

You might try Airfoil:

How to use Adobe forms with F150 Dunning Run

Hi,
I want to use Adobe forms with the transaction F150 Dunning Run.
How do I get the adobe form in customizing? I have put the FM 'FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF' in business transaction Event, BF31 - P/S modules of SAP app - 00001720, Fi-FI. But it is still not recognizing the ADOBE form.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am also working for calling custom adobe form instead of sapscript.
While configuring BTE 1720, i noticed that configuring BTE only FI-FI application does not solve the purpose. You need to assign function module FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF for all Application Area Indicator.
Adding to IS-PS will allow to print for customer.
This solved my problem. But this setting is global so you need to take care of it.

Using Adobe Captivate 6, how can I replicate the PPt text animations wherein I can float in timed?

Using Adobe Captivate version 6.0, I want to be able to do what I always could in PowerPoint - in a bulleted list, cause each bullet to float (or other animation) into place, establish a timing for each line.

To do this in Captivate, you need each bullet to be a separate text caption. You can then apply fly-in effects and time them to coincide with the voiceover. There's no way to make the bullets fly separately in if they are all in the same text caption.

BUG: Advanced Actions duplicated when creating NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8.

Need: CREATE NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8.
Problem: NEW PROJECT (.cptx) duplicates the Advanced Actions originally configured within TEMPLATE FILE (.cpt.).
For example: Template file (.cptl) advanced action "_initializeModule" gets duplicated as "_initializeModule1", "_initializeModule2", "_initializeModule3" within NEW PROJECT. FYI, the original "_initializeModule" advanced action still appears.
MAJOR BUG, what the heck is going on?!?!!! Planning to deploy this template file to use for multiple courses with multiple users, this WILL cause epic confusion across the board.

Similar problem, think they are working on it as well: when dragging a shared action from an external library to a slide or object event, and that action is using a parameter that was already created for another shared action, there will be a new parameter created which really screws up the shared action contrary to this problem. Tip: for the moment do not drag shared actions from an external library immediately to an event, but drag them first to the Library: Reuse Shared Actions in other Projects - Captivate 7 vs. 8 - Captivate blog

Setting up Rational Set Matrix Quizzes using Adobe Captivate 7

My Boss wants me to setup a quiz with 3 set levels of difficulty in Adobe Captivate 7, he wants 5 questions each in random order. The concept is if a question is answered correctly the student moves on to the next level. For example if Question a-1 is correct move to questions a2,b2,c2,d2,e2 in random order, if the answer is incorrect the student will go through level 1 until he/she has passed to move, if these are correct the student will move to the third level a3,b3,c3,d3,e3 in random order and they will have two try's per question but they must continue in the quiz until they have passed it. Then we will gather the data for the question attempts, time, average, and percentage.
Any Suggestion? I've been using Adobe Captivate 7 for 7 months,so I'm still learning.

I've never been asked to implement a quiz structured the way you describe, but if I WAS asked to do one, I would probably implement it using Quiz Question Pools and Randomised Question Slides.
Have one quiz pool for each different level. So A1,B1, C1, D1 quiz slides would all be added into Quiz Pool 1. Questions A2,B2, C2, D2 etc would be in Pool 2, etc.
Then you need to add however many Random Quiz Slides you need to allow for the maximum number of questions your learners will be exposed to in your course.
Captivate's Branch Aware feature allows your learner's score to be calculated based on ONLY the quiz question slides they actually visit.
So if you use Advanced Actions to control which specific Random Question Slides your learner gets to see (based on which questions they get right) their final score will only be based on those specific slides.
The tricky part of this may end up being the design of your branching. You need to set the On Success and On Last Attempt actions of each Randomised Quiz Question Slide to jump to another relevant Randomised Quiz Question Slide. As I understand your description, if the user gets a single level one question correct, then they should be jumped from then on ONLY to level 2 quiz questions, is that correct? If so, then you will need a user variable to track which quiz level they have currently achieved, and use this variable in conditional advanced actions attached to the On Success and On Last Attempt events of each question to determine where they go as a result.
Like I said, it's not newbie stuff. But if you want to learn more about how variables, runtime events, and conditional advanced actions work, here are some links:

http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-advanced-actions/run-time-events
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-advanced-actions/conditional-actions
Since the main difference between each conditional action will be the actual slide jumped to, this might even be a case where Shared Actions could be useful:

Using Adobe Captivate 7 and keep getting Adobe Captivate has stopped working...

I am new to Using Adobe Captivate 7 and keep getting Adobe Captivate has stopped working on Slide 7. What can I try?

Will you be delivering this content from an LMS? If so, then the LMS should handle the menu. Break your project into separate modules and use the Multi-SCORM Packager to create a bundled set.
If you are not using an LMS, but ARE serving content from a web server, then YES you could create a menu module that you use to launch the other modules.
If you are intending to serve this content from a LAN or CD ROM, then you could create a normal HTML web page with hyperlinks to launch individual modules.

To create a simulation tutorial of an iPad App using Adobe Captivate 08.

To create a simulation tutorial of an iPad App using Adobe Captivate 08.
The solution I got is to use Reflector App to mirror the iPad on to the PC and then record the screen. And to show user taps (essential for creating a simulation) through the reflector, NRTouchPoints, a UIWindow subclass that simulates user touches on the screen, has to be included in the application. Has anyone tried this out? Is this suggestion feasible?

After developing the .swf, I'm creating a .apk (Android application
package) file which includes the finished .swf file (at 720x1280), 3 icon
files (one of which is used as the button on the Android screen to start
the app), the required .xml file (which holds the necessary info on how
Android uses the .apk file).
The finished .apk file is then uploaded to the Android device using the adb
(Android Debug Bridge) commands in a command prompt.
