Very basic question from beginner

Hello,
In Photoshop Elements I can only save a slide show as wmv or
pdf file. Is it possible to export/convert the photoshop slide show
directly to flash (swf) format? If not, how should I proceed in
order to get the slide show as a flash file (swf)?
I have downloaded Flash Media Server 3 from Adobe.
I would need some very detailed advice, because I'm a TOTAL
beginner! Thanks in advance!

Well I think since you saved the file. Open up Flash and then
click file new. Then click file>import>to library> and
then import your file from there.

Some very, VERY basic questions from a newbie.

Hi all.
After an intense week of trial and error I'd came to the
point where to create and apply a template to my project. Only to
see that everything screwed up big time. So, I now belive I better
start over and get it right from the beginning. Therefore I need to
know;
(I am using ISS 5 as webserver on my local machine.)
1.
Where to put up my site "mysite.com". Like this,
"inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\index.html" or just like
"inetpub\wwwroot\index.html"?
2.
Can I use a index.php insead of index.html as the default
page when uploading all to the real internet? See, when I type
http://localhost/index.php in
Firefox and IE it tries to download the file but When using Opera
it shows properly.
3.
When creating a site I shall use links that are relative to
siteroot yes? What exactly is my siteroot(depending on the answers
in Q. 1?)(Better safe than sorry this time :) ).
4.
Depending on Q. 1 again. What will my links look like? I
will use "graphics" as my picture folder containing several
subfolders. Will it be like
"../graphics/subfolder_name/picture_name.gif",
"/graphics/subfold..." or simply just
"graphics/sub...". or should it be something else?
This problem I have is why I decided to start over. For
example, in one file I have that is based on my template I have
them here pictures;
graphics/sitegraphics/logo_<?php echo
$row_recordset_site['site_name']; ?>.jpeg
graphics/sharkr/btnread0.gif
graphics/shark_small.gif
The first one shows up nicely both in DW and in browser.
The second one shows up only in DW.
The third one doesnt show up at all.
They are all located in the same(and only) editfield
5.
When creating a new page based on the template, should I
create it directly from the template rather than applying the
template to the page when its done. I have only done the later, and
that showed to be rather unsuccessful :(
Thats all for now. I now this dynamic templateusing
websitebuilding is way over y head, but what the heck :)
I thank you in advance

You're still very confused.
The root of your site is the first folder that contains all
of the files in
your site, but NO files for another site.
> Ok, Then if I use the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\ layout
and chose wwwroot
> as
> my root folder
You wouldn't. You'd choose 'layout' as the root (assuming
that this is the
folder that contains all of your site files).
Look - my sites are like this -
C:/Documents and Settings/..../MyCompanyName/Client1/site
C:/Documents and Settings/..../MyCompanyName/Client2/site
C:/Documents and Settings/..../MyCompanyName/Client3/site
C:/Documents and Settings/..../MyCompanyName/Client4/site
C:/Documents and Settings/..../MyCompanyName/Client5/site
In each case, the root folder of the site is "site" and it's
the one under
the respective client name.
> And this would work both from the templatefile and the
html-files, so that

files?
Any link in a template file MUST work from that template
file. If that's
the case, then they are sure to work in your child pages. in
other words,
ALL links in a template file MUST look like this -
<img src="../whatever... (because you have to go UP one
level from the
template file to reach the root of the site, which contains
all of your
site's files/folders), or like this -
<img src="/whatever... (because the ROOT of the site is
always the root of
the site).
A document relative path is like what would happen when you
get a call from
a friend coming to your house looking for directions - you
start by saying
"where are you"? They tell you, and you say "OK - go 3
traffic lights, turn
right, and I'm 4th on the right". Your directions are
dependent on where
they are at the time you state them.
A root relative path is like when you say to that friend -
"OK - wherever
you are, get to the town square, and with the clock on your
right do the
following....". Your directions are dependent on some fixed
location, and
will work no matter where your friend is when he/she calls.

Basic questions from a new mozaic owner

I have some very basic questions about how to use the new mozaic 2G mp3 player. I bought the Mozaic because it has a speaker and sleep timer, but I'm finding it to be much harder to use than other mp3 players that I have had (Ipod shuffle, clix etc). This may reflect my failure to look in the right place but I have to say the "help" section isn't much help.
Here goes:
. I download podcasts to listen to during my morning run. WMP provides an easy to find place in its program, "recently added," which allows the user to just work with those files. As near as I can tell, Creative makes you wade through all of your tracks. Is there some way to create a file to which "recently added" tracks, or specific tracks, can be dumped? How about automatic tagging of these added files?
2. I have several thousand pictures on this hard dri've. Apparently, the Mozaic Centrale
Is going to copy all of them, which strikes me as a waste of space. Is there a way to shut this function off? I couldn't care less if a single photo was added to the centrale program (or whatever it's called). Is it really going to duplicate all of the jpg files?
3. I have the Zen Stone plus speaker which has served me very well. I had similar problems working with whatever Zen was calling its media player and wound up using WMP instead. I"d like to take a run at using the dedicated Zen media player....
I apologize for the basic nature of these questions, but the answers weren't obvious to me from the materials I was able to locate.

Problem with speaker. I read you need to do a firmware update to get the speaker option on your product's menu so i've completely updated it, but still no option to switch speaker on, and won't just come on when i unplug the headphones, any ideas?
what exactly is the model of your Mozaic? Is it EZ 00, EZ 300 or plane ZEN Mozaic?

Possibly a very basic question but I have set up a spread sheet in Numbers and have viewed help videos but I can't get it to give me sums for the columns I highlight. Keeps coming up with the figure zero. I have version 09 2.3(554). Can anyone help

Possibly a very basic question but I am going nowhere without a solution. I have set up a spreadsheet in Numbers but it won't give me sums for chosen columns. I have viewed the run through videos and used the formula but nothing happens apart from giving a figure of zero or a red arrow. The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total as I understand from the video that you can drag whatever total is here onto the relevent position on your spreadsheet. I have Numbers 09 version 2.3 (554). Can anyone advise. Thanks.

Hi Sohojools,
To sum a column, use a formula such as this one in Cell A6
Type this in a cell below your data:
=SUM(A2:A4) or whatever range of cells you want to sum. The easy way is to type:
=SUM(
and then drag or shift-click to select the range of cells. Close the formula with a final bracket ")".
The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total
To see the sum (and other simple statistics) in the bottom left, select a range of cells. That tells Numbers which cells you are refering to.
The videos are good, but the Numbers'09 User guide, and the Formulas and Functions User Guide are better. Download them from the Help Menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Ian.

Very basic questions on text/email

So I'm now convinced - with the 3.0 OS and the 3GS handset, the iPhone finally does all I want it to do and I'll be buying my first one in a couple of weeks.
Before I do, though, I have a couple of very basic questions:
1. Does predictive text only work in the SMS app, or does it work in the apps for email, writing notes, etc?
2. Can you turn the predictive text off? (I find it wildly irritating, because I know far better what words I want to write than a pesky phone does!)
3. Having email sent to a mobile is a whole new world for me! Do I need to subscribe to MobileMe at £££ per month, or is there another way of having email from my three accounts forwarded to my mobile?
Hope someone can help!
Cheers,

1. Does predictive text only work in the SMS app, or does it work in the apps for email, writing notes, etc?
It works with Safari, the Mail client, the Notes app, and with the SMS app.
2. Can you turn the predictive text off? (I find it wildly irritating, because I know far better what words I want to write than a pesky phone does!)
Yes.
3. Having email sent to a mobile is a whole new world for me! Do I need to subscribe to MobileMe at £££ per month, or is there another way of having email from my three accounts forwarded to my mobile?
You can access any IMAP or POP account with the iPhone's Mail client, and access multiple email accounts. I currently access to email accounts with the iPhone's mail client - my MobileMe account, and a business POP account. You can access all 3 of your email accounts with the iPhone's Mail client.

A very basic question regarding data block

Hi All,
I've a very basic question concerning data blocks in oracle forms 10g.
I want to make a view only screen (only query allowed, no update, insert or delete).
I'll have 6-7 fields on the screen but all the fields are not from a single table.
For e.g, let say we've field names to display on the screen are f1, f2, f3, f4..
Out of this f1 and f2 will come from table A and f3, f4 will come from table B.
Now, my question : Is it possible to create a data block using the data block wizard for such situation if we select create data block from table options?
If no, can you please tell me an approach to do this.
Regards,
Navnit

Hello ,
First write your query & select datablock property.
just change the below properties
Query Data Source Type=From Clause Query
Query Data Source Name = (Paste query here)
now you should add the block ITEMs and give their names according to query columns names. shows the column on canvas and run..
Best Regard

One very basic question about inheritance

One very basic question about inheritance.
Why we need inheritance?
the benefit of inheritance also achieve by creating instance of base class using it in other class instead of extending the base class.
Can any one please explain why we are using inheritance instead of creating object of base class????

One example of inheritance comes in the form of a vehicle. Each vehicle has similarities however they differ in their own retrospect. A car is not a bus, a bus is not a truck, and a truck is not a motorbike. If you can define the similarities between these vehicles then you have a class in which you can extend into either of the previous mentioned vehicles. Resulting in a reusable class, dramatically reduces the size of code, creates a single point of definition, increases maintainability, you name it.
In short there are thousands of benefits from using inheritance, listing the benefits could take a while. A quick Google search should give you a few hundred k if not million links to read.

If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question

If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question. Trying to hold out as long as I can, but purchasing an iPhone for Christmas and new iMac next year when warrently expires.

Thank U very much for the quick reply, I wanted to upgrade this weekend, but still on the fence. I can live with the software that is not compatible, they are on another compuetr, just didn't want the obvious stuff to stop working.

Very basic question... can photoshop overwrite the original file?

Very basic question... can Photoshop Elements 13 overwrite the original file?

You will need to check the Photoshop Elements for any particulars about that software.
For Photoshop, if I make changes and exit saving those changes, yes the original is overwritten.
Keep backups at all times and don't work off flash external drives. When people tell me their original 500 layer file got corrupted, and they didn't keep copies, I hate to tell them their weeks of work is down the bucket.
In Photoshop, we use Image > Duplicate to work on a copy if we don't want the original touched, or File > Save as... where we give the file a different name. We save image.psd as image1.psd and image.psd is closed. We then have a copy, "Image1" opened.

Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.

Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
Ihave a Mac Pro with a .75 TB and 1 TB drive. It also has a 1 TB 2ndinternal drive. My current external drive is too small so I'll begetting a 1.5 TB or 2 TB drive.
Obviouslythe new larger 2 TB drive will backup everything on the Mac Prointernal drive with Time Machine. But there will be 1 TB of space leftover going to waste.
ShouldI partition the external drive so that the TM portion will be 1 TB andthe use the remaining extra partition for additional file backups withCarbon Copy?
Thanks for any insights.
I tried searching around on the new Apple discussion forum, but I find it much harder to use than the old forum I used to use.

The problem with terabyte drives is that that a 3 TB is about as big as you can get without going into RAID territory. Ideally, a Time Machine drive should be 3 times as large as all the drives you are backing up. So, if you have 2.75 TB of internal storage, you should have 8 TB of Time Machine space.
Of course, that is "should". If your TB drives are mostly empty, then you can get away with something 3 times the size of your used disk space. Just remember that you are pushing it. Linc is right about Time Machine needing space to work.
It is unlikely that you have regular churn on 2.75 TB of disk. I suggest identifying which drives and folders have the most activity and excluding those drives and directories that don't change much. It would be better to archive the data that doesn't change often and keep it out of Time Machine. Then you may be able to get away with a 2 TB Time Machine drive.

Entities not showing Contribution - very basic question

Hi guys,
Apologies for this very basic question - I'm very new to Hyperion, with just a weeks training! Anyway I'm building a basic model and have noticed that in the Value dimension my entities are not rolling up to the [Contribution Total]. This means that Entities do not roll up!!
One suggested issue was that I needed a Sub Consolidate in the Rules, however I've set the attribute "ConsolidationRules" to be = to N. In the documentation this is defined as "N to use the default consolidation and eliminations."
Wondering is there anything else that is needed to use default consolidations, or do I need to create some Rules??
Thanks
G

Why do you think it is not rolling up? If your Consoldiation Rules are set to 'N' you do not need rules.
Make sure your accounts are set to IsConsoldiate. Make sure you are viewing a 'Parent.Child' at Contribution Total.

How do I gather some very basic data from visitors to my site

I'm new to DW CS4, the learning curve has been steep but I'm getting the hang of it now. I have created an airshow website here (www.hollisterairshow.com ) which works just fine. I've been asked to add some basic questions to the web site (are you coming by car/ airplane,which day, camping overnight etc). I have a draft of the questions at the lower right corner here www.hollisterairshow.com/index2.html , they are very simple and all I need is to a total showing the sum of the answers, no login, no reservations etc. Ideally I'd like to have a submit button that changes to a "Thank you" message when a user has submitted their response and remains as a "Thank you" if they visit the site again. Do I need to set up a data source or something for this, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to start. So, what's the simplest way of implementing something like this?
Thanks
Tony

I've been reading up on JavaScript and think I understand how to do the coding for setting/ testing for a cookie which will tell me whether the user has already responded and allow me to display the questions or the totals, thanks. I'd prefer to not have potentially hundreds of e-mails that have to be read and answers counted. Can the totals just be stored on the website and incremented when the user presses "Submit"? The totals I would need are:
Saturday - #Autos, #Aircraft, #Other, #occupants
Sunday - #Autos, #Aircraft, #Other, #occupants
#campers
This is not a financial application and the results will not guarantee attendance, we're just looking for an idea of how many might come each day as this is the first time we've run this event, so this doesn't have to be a bulletprooof application. What is the simplest way to implement this?
Regarding enabling PHP is this just a yes/no option in the control panel or there other options for it? I don't have direct access to this because the City of Hollister owns the website, I'm just volunteering to create it so I need to know what to ask the city's web administrator for.
Thanks so much for your assistance,
Tony Babb

Very Basic Question i think ?

Hi im very new to flash but am looking to learn some more
about it i have tried to use the pre-built components in flash and
was just wondering where or how you can retrieve the values from
the checked boxes
i know how to do for 1 checkbox by using
if ( instancename.value = true){
trace("Box was ticked");
but what i am looking to do is run through a series of 5
checkboxes and retrieve all the labels at first i can probably work
out the checking if they are ticked but all i get traced is
undefined which i guess means no value.
This is the code i used to try to retrieve all the labels of
every checkbox on press of a button
on(release)
trace("Clicked");
var i = 1;
while (i < 5){
trace("While Running");
i++;
trace(CheckBox
.Label);
trace(i);
It would be most appreciated if anyone could point me in the
right direction for very basic tutorials on flash components as i
could only find the macromedia livedocs which i didnt find a lot of
help as its all technical speak which i am not familiar with
yet....
Thanks Pinky

Many Thanks!!!!!
This was the output i had to change the for to say i < 6
to do the final checkbox but it is exactly whati wanted to do
without having to use multiple if,s :D
Many Thanks now just gotta try to work my head round
comboboxes which i would have to start a new thread :D lol

Basic questions from techie thicko with 'new' G4

I've looked but can't find the answers to these basic questions.
My new (reconditioned) computer as below came with just the operating systems and something called 'Cloner' plus some Utilities.
A) What is the best way to switch between OSX and Classic?
(It defaults to X on start-up and I can get to X from Classic by re-starting pressing 'x'. If that's the right way to do it, what is the approved way of getting into Classic?)
B) I'm not sure (after reading about it!) what I can do with Cloner and how.
C) I have AppleWorks on OS9. Can I update this for OSX? Failing this, is there a Software Download that will give me a basic DTP facility until I can afford to buy an advanced programme? I also have Pagemaker 7 in Classic.
D) I have been transferring stuff to Classic from my iMac DV 9.2.2 with my card reader and this seems to work well. Anything to watch out for?
There's more but I can't impose on members' kindness too much!
For future reference, is it possible to post pictures on these boards and if so how please? I have Photoshop and hosting sites.
Sorry to be a pain but I really am an idiot about techie stuff.
Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure what Cloner does. It sounds as if it may clone the hard drive, a bit like Carbon Copy Cloner:
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
I'm wondering whether it was just used to put the operating systems and utilites onto the drive in the first place when they reconditioned the computer. Perhaps they use a 'master' drive and just clone it to the drives in the computers they're reconditioning, rather than installing everything separately and repeatedly.
I think version 6 of AppleWorks runs under both OS 9 and OS X natively. If you have an earlier version, I'm not sure whether it's a free downloadable upgrade or whether you have to pay for it.
I'm sure the card reader works fine, although you could network the two computers together with an ethernet cable and create a small network. With two computers you just need a crossover cable to create a crossover network:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106658
If you're thinking of keeping your iMac, that may be a better long term solution. You could then use the iMac as your OS 9 machine and the PowerMac as your OS X machine if you wanted to.

Basic Questions from Prospective Lion Server Switcher

I have five servers I am running right now using Windows 2003 Server and various 3rd party packages.     Several years ago I became a Mac fan, moved all of my client based stuff to Mac, and now want to start moving my server based equipment to the OSX platform.
I stopped by my local Apple Store, and they had a version of OSX Lion Server running on a MacMini, but couldn't seem to answer the most basic of questions because as their business people stated "We are not Server Certified" ... they recommended I talk to an outside consultant to get these basic questions answered which seems a little extreme.
So I'm hoping the group can help.
(1) I read through most of the Lion Server Advanced Administrative manual.    Lion server appears from the manual to do most of what I need.   However, when I tried doing some of the functions in the manual on the demo Lion Server at the Apple Store, many of the functions I wanted to do did not seemed to either be installed, or their were buttons missing in the Server App.     I do not know if this was a permission level problem, because the account I setup for myself had administrative rights.
(2) In the mail app, it only appeared you could setup one mail domain.    It appeared you could setup virtual domains and users through the user app, but not through the mail domain itself?
(3) I could not find any where to enable DNS services.    The manual seems pretty straight forward in turning on DNS, but the Lion Server I saw had no DNS services running, or any way to enable them?
(4) Same for mailman listserv type function ... manual seems to be straight forward on enabling under the mail server, but again, no signs of the settings or enabling under the mail service.
(5) Under the mail app, didn't find any way to setup alternative SMTP ports ( I allow now Port 26 besides the standard Port 25 and SSL ports for my users.) ... I find port 26 gets past most firewalls at hotels etc.      Didn't see any way to control SMTP authentification too.
(6) Under the Lion Server tech description, it talk about a built in web editor, saw nothing of the kind.
So did the apple store have a limited install or am I missing something that the lion server manual does not match the capabilities of lion server.
Love to get a straight answer before purchasing hardware to replace 5 present machines.
Thank you.
David

Thanks for quick response.   Indeed, in hindsight, it appears that they had only installed the Server App, but not the Server Admin tools.
Unfortunately, I am not a system admin, but I played one on TV <grin>
All kidding aside ... I'm willing to learn, but would need most of the basics controlled through the GUI ... and then feel comfortable reading up and editting configuration files and running commands from the Terminal.
On this line, is there good documentation of this, or is this something that you know because you are familiar with Unix?    ie something like the alternate port issue ... is this something in the GUI, or something I would have to edit via Terminal?
Just trying to make an informed decision before jumping platforms.
Thanks
David
