Using Flash Skins - any issues?

Just upgraded from RoboInfo 5 to RoboHelp 7 (long overdue)
I'm considering using a Flash skin, but am just curious if
there's any issues in doing this.
Is it possible to add a new menu button if I use a Flash skin
(I have experience using Flash, but don't think it is possible to
edit the source code so I could create a new menu button as I've
done previously with html).
Does using a Flash skin slow down the performance at all? I
won't use a Flash skin just to get a few cool animations if I know
that it slow down the application and affect the user experience.
Any other issues with using a Flash skin I should be aware
of?

Hi hughbetcha
There is no FlashHelp skins editor as there is in WebHelp. So
adding a button is normally right out, unless you have some Flash
skills. But you said you actually do have Flash skills. So you will
be interested in the Skins Development Kit. Don't worry, it's not a
separate thing you have to purchase. It's really a collection of
documentation and some source files to use. You should find it in
the following location:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 7\FlashHelp SDK

I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this?

I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this? Very new to this

The license is for the Developer not the machine it is run on However there could be soma issues with trying to develop on a public machine.
The biggest is does the library machine have or will they let you install and run Xcode and if you are developing for IOS will they let you plug in your devices?
In addition will they allow you the hours needed on the machine? Most public machines have a time limit especially if there are others waiting to use it.
All-in-all in can be done but it won;t be an easy situation.
good luck

How to use Flash Skin in Dreamweaver 8

Hi,
I'd like to use a Flash Video Skin
(SteelExternalPlaySeekMute) that came with Flash 8, in Dreamweave.
I copied the skin file (SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf) into
Dreamweaver's Configuration>Templates>Video_Control folder,
but although I see the skin in Dreamweave's popup skin menu, I
doesnt function correctly.
I assume I need to be doing somethign with the .fla file
(SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.fla), but I cant figure out where to put
that in Dreamweaver.
Any suggestions on how to get my video to work with this skin
would be appreciated.
thank you....

bump...
would really appreciate it if someone could help me out
here....
thank you.

Problem Using Flash FLV Video Via Dreamweaver CS3

I have been unable to get my FLV video to play on my website.
I seem to have two problems:
1) I want the FLV file to be hosted in a different domain to
the website itself (for bandwidth reasons) and it doesn't want to
do that!
2) I would prefer to use Flash skins rather than Dreamweaver
skins as I want to offer a full-screen option but I cannot get them
to work!
If I host the FLV file on the website domain, the video plays
ok. If I change the file location in the Properties of the movie to
become the FLV located on the other domain (using full path
http://<etc>flv) then nothing
displays on that part of the page. Firebug tells me it has loaded
the AC_RunActiveContent.js and FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf but it
makes no mention of the skin file or the flv file itself ... it is
as if it just simply has not bothered with it! I suspect I am
missing something obvious but cannot find it. All help would be
appreciated. By the way, I have loaded up a crossdomain.xml file to
the root of the domain that hosts the flv file but that didn't seem
to make any difference!
The second challenge is that ideally I would like to use a
Flash skin so that I can have a full-screen option and so that I
can have the menu bar under the video itself. However, I can't even
get that option to work when I host the whole lot on the normal
webserver! I am suspecting that it might be something that might
suddenly start working when I fix problem 1. However, if anybody
has any links to a page that provides simple instructions about how
to do this task I would greatly appreciate it!
Many thanks for your help!

1) Why not post your video to YouTube or Google Video and
then embed the
code they provide into your website. This way their servers
carry the
bandwidth for you and the scripted embed code will work on
your site.
2) If Video sharing isn't an option, and you need more
bandwidth, you can
get domain hosting for as little as $4.95 - 6.95/month at
Bluehost,
Lunarpages or Web Hosting Pad.

Skinning Components using Flash assets?

I'm trying to learn how to skin components using assets that I designed and laid out in Flash. I was quite comfortable with the Flex 3 / MX method of skinning but I'm now trying to push myself into the new Flash Builder / Spark way of doing things. I'm lacking info on the best way to go about things though.
Most tutorials I see are based on Illustrator or Photoshop design integration. I've tried to use Flash Catalyst but it seems that I can't utilize specific assets built within Catalyst and inject them into my existing Flash Builder application (unless I'm wrong?).
Ultimately, what I'd like to be able to do is to design my elements in Flash, import it into Flash Catalyst, set up specific buttons and components and then import them into Flash Builder as individual SparkSkin elements and then assign those elements to components within my application. I don't want to use Flash Catalyst to build and lay out the entire project. I just want it for building out individual components. I'd rather lay out the Flash Builder project on my own.
So here are my questions...
Is it possible to set up individual components within Flash Catalyst and import them into Flash Builder as SparkSkins? If so, how?
How can I design an asset within Flash (for example, a big graphic that is a background element) and then apply it as a SparkSkin?
How can I keep the Slice 9 properties of an element that I designed in Flash?
If I'm just not "getting it" feel free to let me know!
Any tutorials or resources would be greatly appreciated!

Flash CS6 publishing issue using accordion plug-in

I apologize if I have limited info on this issue. i'm providing remote support and my user is only providing limited intel...
I have a user running Flash CS6 and has designed a site using the accordion plug-in with XML. When she publishes it from her Mac (10.6.8) then views it the SWF doesn't play nicely. The buttons function for a short period then freeze. She had another user open and publish from a PC using CS5 it works fine. They've compared the code between the 2 and there are supposedly no differences. She has this problem when publishing from CS4 as well (again, on Mac, 10.6.8). To add to the confusion, I've been sent the URL to both her version published from the Mac, supposedly not working correctly, and the version published from the PC. I've tested them both in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on my Mac, and Chrome, Firefox, and IE on my PC and I'm not seeing any issues.
Anyone have any ideas?

Most accordion components I know need an additional xml file to fill them up with content.
This must be loaded properly into the swf, to make it show sth.
if you only have a swf file to test, its likely that the xml was left out.

Any issues using ALCS with Flex 4?

We're about to move some of our code base to Flex 4, and I wanted to check in advance if there would be any issues with ALCS using Flex 4 Beta 2 and Flash Builder Beta 2.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi,
If you are using player 10 ALCS swc and Whiteboard with Flex 4 and Flash Builder beta 2, it might throw an exception sometimes which has been fixed recently and will be updated in the next drop.
Player 9 ALCS swc should work fine. We haven't done testing extensively on Flex 4 for our framework, so if there are any issues that you come across, please report to us.
Thanks

When I click on a file to view in Finder in the view as columns, Finder stops responding. If I use Finder in any of the other views, I don't have an issue.

When I go to finder and view as columns so that the right column will open a preview of the file, I get the endless spinning graphic and when I go to Force Quit, it shows that Finder has stopped responding. When I use Finder in any other view mode, I don't have that issue. This just started today. As far as I know, I haven't done any updates today that would cause the issue. I've restarted a few times. I'm running 10.10 on iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011). I when to updates in the App Store and saw there was an update for 10.10.1 and tried to run it twice now. It starts to install and says I have 7 minutes left and then at about 3 minutes, it just opens all my windows again and acts normally. When I go to "About this mac", I'm still showing 10.10 as the OS. Also, in the App Store, when I click on updates, it shows me 4 updates that I've already installed as ready to install. Not really sure what's going on nor why all the sudden this is an issue, but I use the preview mode in Finder all the time so I would love a fix for this. I've tried logging out and logging in as another user and the same issue with Finder happens with other users as well. I've emptied my trash bin as well.

Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

Any Issues with X250 and Using 3 Monitors?

With input from this forum, I went ahead and ordered an X250. ETA first week of April. Thank you... (ask me in May if I am still as grateful )
My plan is to also purchase an Ultra dock and use the screen on the notebook as well as two external displays. I did some research and understand certain video ports take priority over others, but this should no be an issue.
After reading another thread (here) I am concerned this setup may not be as reliable as one would hope. I realize the thread references an X240 (not an X250), but would like to know if others have a 3 display setup with the X250 and if they enountered any issues?
Thanks again. This group has provided a wealth of information that has essentially kept me in the Lenovo camp. I currently use a W520 and was pretty close to moving another manufacturer altogether.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Technobob,
I'm using a ThinkPad X240 daily on a ThankPad Ultra Dock with two 1920x1080 DisplayPort monitors simultaneously with the X240 LCD. Also have an X250 which occasionally gets plugged in to the same dock and all three monitors work, no issues.
Hope this helps!

Any issues with using LDAP on LINUX for GRC 5.2 UME?

Our company is converting our LDAP servers from AIX to LINUX. The DNS name used in our UME connection should not change. Are there any issues with using LDAP on LINUX? We are currently on GRC 5.2 SP9 (in the middle of upgrading to SP12).
Also, I have been trying to connect our test UME system to a test LDAP box that has already been converted to LINUX but keep getting a 'connection failed' error when I try to test it.
Do you have to reboot the server to test changing the LDAP connections? I've been trying it by going into UME, pulling up the LDAP tab, hitting the Modify button, entering the new userid and password for test LDAP, and hitting the Test Connection button. I've verified that this userid and password is correct for test LDAP.
Is there a way to get more information about why the connection failed?
Thanks.

I've been told by our LDAP Support group that none of the other configuration settings should have to be changed. I should only have to change the id and password to connect to a test version of LDAP instead of our regular connection to the production LDAP.
Can you test a connection for a different userid/password without having to reboot/restart the server? Do I need to change these two settings, save then, reboot/restart, and then do the Test Connection button?
Thanks.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues. I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.
I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion. I now want to fix the underlying problem.
I'm not running any weird background processes and in my energy saver settings I've tagged "put the hard disk to sleep when possible:, "allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "automatically reduce brigthness". All pretty standard.
Is there anyone who can give me some pointers ?

Today I solved the same problem for my iMac running Snow Leopard. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008791#15947706. The method may help you, too.
For me it was the DynDNS Updater preventing my iMac from automatically entering sleep mode.
To my knowledge the cause of this sleep problem can only be a peripheral device or a process. So I suggest to first unplug all peripherals and test whether that's the cause. If not, I suggest to terminate one process after another and to test automatic entering of sleep mode after each. Start with user processes; continue with system process if necessary.
At least that's the way I found the offending process. Fortunately, I was able to change the configuration of that process to allow again automatic entering of sleep mode.
Good luck!

Although I have been using Google Maps App in India for a while now (without any issues) but I still want to know if there are any plans for launching Turn by Turn Navigation under the OOTB Map App for iOS?

It has been quite a while since Apple came up with Map App of their own and should be releasing improved maps with more capabilities in India.

No one here can answer your question, as there is no one from Apple here, & no one here represents Apple or speaks for Apple.

Any issues pulling files from external partners using PI File adapter?

I would like to know if there are any issues with pulling files directly from external partners using PI File adapter.
We are estimating 60 communication channels to pull files from the external vendors (25 vendors). Polling for these communication channels will be done for every 5 minutes. We have a load of around 500 files per day with peak size as 50MB and average file size as 2MB. We are currently using PI 7.0 SP12.
Did any one face any problems with respect to performance or any other issues?

The volume as described would be handled with no issues.
Memory tuning and threads tuning may be required - see this guide:
