Weird halo with new FLV compressor

We are creating a video with a transparent background and putting it on yellow in Flash.
The new Flash compressor is creating a strange "halo" around the subject. We can't figure out what is doing this. Even in the compressor preview in After Effects with the black alpha channel shown, we're not seeing this weird halo. Not until it's dropped into Flash.
Here's what it looks like when put into Flash: http://i.imgur.com/oBQNT.jpg
There are some issues with the project that disallow us to try other alternative methods:
- The nature of the Flash behind the video dictates the FLV must be transparent and put on a yellow background in Flash. We cannot have a background in the FLV, it must be transparent.
- There are elements in the video that look terrible when using the old FLV compressor. Oddly enough, the odd halo doesn't exist in that compressor.
Thoughts? We haven't found a work around and it's driving our team nuts!

We were also trying Flash's compressor after exporting to an .mov from After Effects, and it gave us the same result.
Btw, this is all in CS4.

Reusing HTML layouts with new flvs

I'm having issues with reusing html layouts for 'newsletter' type pages with updated text and video. The new flvs don't appear when the updated page is posted to it's unique directory on the client server.
I've narrowed the issue down to a possible problem with the AS_RunActiveContent.js file. I need force Dreamweaver to create a new one when the layout is updated. When I'm developing locally, it seems as though the page references the previously created js file. When I post the preview to my server, the videos play. But when I post the html page and image folder to new directory on the client server, the flvs disappear. Copying the old js file to the new directory on the server doesn't work.
How do I force Dreamweaver to create a new java script file when I update the content? Or is there something else I need to do?
Here's a quick rundown of the process:
Open old html page and save as w new name in new local folder
Update text and flvs (updated flvs by completely removing all content in table cell, not just updating the file name properties)
Upload new folder to my host server
Once approved, send folder to client
Client posts folder to their server - and the flv's dissappear.
Thanks for your help.
Kristen

I'm guessing you're using CS3 or earlier. DW does not create a new .js file if one already exists in a given path, nor does it need to.
I am also guessing that the problem is related to paths. You should probably make all references to that script site-root relative (with the slash in front). ie:
/Scripts/AS_RunActiveContent.js
Then upload the Scripts folder to the root of the site. All files in subfolders will still find that script using with that link, including new folders.
Does that make sense? If not, can you supply a link to one of these problem pages?

Weird Problems With New Data Plan

Hi. I just received a new Droid smartphone and have been having a great time looking through the phone and seeing all of the cool things you can do with it. I have downloaded a couple of programs and what not by connecting to my home Wi-Fi service, but I haven't used up THAT much MB's of space. However, this morning I got a text from verizon saying that I exceeded my $15 a month Data limit, but I don't see how this is possible. When I go to my account online and check out how much I've used, it tells me I've used up about 28 MB's out of 150, which is the limit. Is this just a glitch or is it a problem I need to to address with haste? Will it add on to the bill? Also, has anyone else had this problem before?

It can take a bit of time to update, like the last poster wrote. If I can make a suggestion, though: with using a droid device, consider placing the unlimited package and cutting the loss from the increase. If you go over, even by a byte, it will charge you for another full 150MB allowance, basically eliminating the savings. The Droid devices are insatiable data hogs (it is like slop to them). I see a lot of instances where users go over this feature when attempting to save a bit of money. On the Droid phones, it is usually not worth the risk of overage.

Weird Bugs with new 4th Gen Nano

I've been getting weird bugs only a week after I bought a 16GB Orange 4th Generation iPod Nano on ebay New of course. First off, while at school the other day, it shut off and the apple screen showed for about 30 seconds. Then none of my 600 songs would play. However, I reset the ipod by pressing the center button and menu and holding them down for a few seconds. What do you think is wrong? Thank you so much.
John

I just bought a PURPLE 4th Gen Nano 8gig, and I have been having the same problem. If I skip to the next song more than 4 times, the Nano shuts off and reboots. I did have one particular song, when "played," that was causing it to shut down, so I removed it. I did not attempt to re-sync it. Now, if I skip to next track more than 4 times, it shuts down and reboots. This happens a few times a day. Depending on my mood, I may not want to listen to Rock tracks that day, so I skip them to get to my R&B tracks. Some days I want to listen to DANCE tracks. So, for clarity's sake, I do tend to skip songs a lot. But that should not be cause for constant reboots, from any MP3 player. It certainly was never a problem for my Sandisk Sansa e280, that I owned before switching to iPod.
Another item that bothers me is that my tracks are not all in alphabetical order. Or rather, I should say, they are listed alphabetically in multiple sections. Out of 1500+ songs, there are approx. 20 sections of A-Z. For example: If you scroll through the song list A-Z, you will not find Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy." But after Z, the list "continues" A-Z again!! But "Nature Boy" is not in that list either. The list continues on AGAIN, A-Z... and viola, there is "Nature Boy." In the THIRD section of A-Z of the song list. Anyone, have a clue as to WHY the entire library of music is not listed alphabetically? But rather parceled out in sections?? None of the tracks are repeated, each section of A-Z contains different tracks!! It makes finding a song you are wanting to hear, a real chore!! And is NOT indicative of a world class company, nor a world class product.
And before anyone reads off their teleprompter as to how "I should check to see that my computer is blah, blah, blah......" It IS up-to-date. Every driver, every piece of software, every security definition, every release, every add-on. I spent an entire weekend making absolutely POSITIVE that THAT issue was resolved. Vista SP1, Windows Defender, IE7, Firefox 3, iTunes 8, eve-ry-th-ing!! Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. I'm looking for a little thing called "real answers." Thanks.

So after knowing that i used the patch and was able to boot vista 64bit. then the fun started. I havent been able to do anything related to 3d work since i built it. i used the latest drivers. I used the ones from the first reviews of the 8800gt. I used only one card. etc. Nothing works. wow freezes up. Age of empire 3 ad 2 freezes or plays at like 4 fps. 3dmark cant run at all. I finally got it stable to run and it only gives me 3000 for a score in 03. I decided to boot up with my old 1900xtx and sure enough after putting the new ati drivers. 22000 on 3dmark 03 and even crysis atleast runs well enough to play. I have a single slot intel board which i got with my bundle and havent tried but i was about too. I have the memory set at the manual settings it asked for. also did auto and most basic things possible. nothign seems to work. has there been any issues with the gt's. what other help can y'all give me.

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

Weird lines with drawing tablet?

Hey guys! I just bought a new drawing tablet to use with Flash. It works amazing in general, but when I tap on the screen I just get these weird... lines? It works fine with my mouse.
How do I solve this?

Sorry, Tom! I really appreciate your help and i am not meaning to be flippant. I am using the Best Quality, 90 minutes, and i don't mess with any of the presets.
I'm exporting to Compressor like so: When i'm in final cut i go to file > export > send to compressor.
Sorry, i'm still a bit new to compressor! thanks!

Apple Banned me, because of a very weird problem with my "Factory Unlocked"

Hi Everybody! Im having a very weird problem with my unlocked iphone 4.
First of all, i would like to apologize because of my english, is not very good. My native language is Spanish.
Well.. Im from Mexico, and here we can buy the iphone Unlocked on the Apple Online Store.
Here's my problem. Apple has exchanged my iphone 3 times.
I returned the iphone the first time because the screen was totally yellowish, other than that everything was working great!, that was by the end of September.
On October 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then a bigger problem started .
Before i continue, let me give you this information: here in Mexico we have basically 3 cell phone companies
1.- Telcel
2.- Movistar
3.- Unefon
OK, now on october 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then procced to activate via itunes using my UNEFON sim card (microsim).
And every time i tried to activate it, only got this message onscreen:
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s2/jorgelomeli/Screenshot2010-10-29at24915PM. png
I though something was wrong with my brand new factory unlocked iphone 4.
I have 4 more simcards from my brothers (they all had iphone 4 too)
I tried telcel sim card, and i could activate my iphone. Then i insterted the Movistar microsim, and it worked too!! But then when i put the Unefon sim, the itunes logo inmediatly appears on the screen asking to activate on itunes, and when i tried that, the only response i got was the image above saying " The Simcard inserted on this iphone does not appear to be supported"
Weird thing here is, that, when i put my Unefon sim card on my brothers iphone 4, it worked great! on all of them, internet 3g, phone, wireless , evrything!
I called apple support, and they exchange the iphone for another one.
I recieved the third iphone on October 29. Last friday. and guess what? SAME PROBLEM! different serial number, same week production (week 42) but exactly the same message on itunes.
Very, very frustrated, i called apple again, and after 1 hour with thechnical support, they told me " We are sorry, but we can only offer you, your money back, NO MORE EXCHANGES FOR YOU"
I said why?... i dont want my money back! i want an UNLOCKED iphone!, but they refuse to give me another iphone.
When i asked techincal support, why my unefon sim card worked great on all three of my brothers iphone but not on mine, he just told me, "I really dont know, i guess they just got lucky" ****, this answer put all my trust i had on apple products for years, right on the garbage.
Since they refused to give me another iphone, i accepted my money back, and inmediatly after i finished the call, i asked my brother to buy me one more time an iphone 4 using his name, and his credit card. Now i have to wait until November 8-12 to recieve my new iphone, hoping this time i get a REAL UNLOCKED iphone, and not a partially unlocked iphone.
btw. i even went to Unefon costumer service and bought a new prepiad line, with a new microsim, just to be 100% sure that this problem is not because of the sim. And again didnt worked on my iphone, but it worked on any of my brothers iphone4.
Serial numbers of the 3 iphones:
79039C0U* (this one worked great with Unefon, only problem was yellow screen)
85042GR4*
81042FJB*
What do you suggest me? any info would be really aprecciated
FYI i also restore 4 times the last iphone and nothing seemed to work, i use 3 different computers, Macbook Pro, iMac, and an Hp with Windows 7, and the same message on all three computers.
Wierd thing also, one of my brothers bougth an iphone 4 this last week too, but he bought the 16Gb not the 32Gb. His iphone production week is 42 also! and when i put my Unefon sim in his iphone works great!
I dont know what else i can do, I just need to have faith that my new iphone coming this november will be real unlocked, but what if i'll recieve an iphone and then the same problem?? time for android? just kidding really guys, what can i do? anyone with similar problem like me? i dont wanna use Telcel or Movistar, i wanna use Unefon, and thats why i bought an Unlocked iphone
btw: jailbreak is not a solution for me, because i always like to use legal software on all my apple products, and because of the warranty.

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937, there are two official carriers in Mexico (Movistar and Telcel) and neither carrier offers an unlocked phone.

Recovery did not work with new hard drive

The original Toshiba HD(250G, sata1) of my laptop( ) crashed.
I bought new one (320G, sata 2, Western digit )
The problem is that, when I tried to use the recovery CD that I used to use it with old HD before, it did not work with this new HD well!?
After cd1 and cd2 finish installing it ask to take it out then restart, I do so, but when it comes to setup setting of windows.
An error message come out says " Windows Setup could not configure Windows on this computer’s hardware”
It restart and says again " Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on theis compuiter, restart the installation."
I have been trying to solve this a lot, but no way
I tried what in this link, but it drive me with another problem http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/windows-could-not-complet...
I hope that I get the right thing to do, from ur forum by this post.
Thanks a lot

Weird problem with JApplet

I'm having a weird problem with JApplet. So first I create an Applet with this code
public class japp extends JApplet {
     public void init() {
          Container content=getContentPane();
          JButton jb=new JButton("Hello");
          content.add(jb);
}and with this in the .html file;
<html>
<body>
<APPLET CODE="japp.class" WIDTH="650" HEIGHT="500"></APPLET>
</body>
</html>
And opened it in Firefox, it worked as expected. However, when I change the code in any way, i.e.
public class japp extends JApplet {
     public void init() {
          Container content=getContentPane();
          JButton jb=new JButton("Goodbye");
          content.add(jb);
}and compile it, it still shows the old button that displays "Hello". I've tried deleting the .class file from before and recompiling, that doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Reloading the page usually doesn't work. You will need to open the Java Console and clear classloader cache (x). You can also use appletviewer for testing purposes.

Weird problems with XFCE

So I got a weird problem with XFCE (I think) sometimes everything just stops working, my PPTP vpn, can't start new applications, no shortcut commands on my keyboard works etc. For example when this happened and I tried to open a text document with gedit i got "Process /usr/bin/Thunar exited with status 1" and when I'm connected to my vpn I can't access the internet, not browsing and I can't ping other websites. And in my terminal instead of "icamaxi@localhost" it becomes "[email protected]"
This problem happens randomly and it works if you restart the computer.
my xinitrc looks like:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
exec startxfce4
I also get this error message sometimes if that helps you
"(process:1055): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
No protocol specified"
Xorg log
Another thing that is not related to this problem but that is annoying is that i can't lock my screen, when I try nothing happens, I've tried the shortcut command and also with the actions button applet but none of this work.

I'm not certain about your first issue, but does it ever occur when you aren't connected ot your VPN?
For the screen locking problem, what are you using to lock your screen? I use xflock4, and have a keyboard command set up in the keyboard commands to lock my screen.

Weird problems with battery

Hi guys,
I having some weird problems with my new battery. I changed the old battery (that died) for a brand new one. The first problem was: the mac didn't recognized the new battery in a macbook pro 13 early 2011. So, I putted the battery in a another macbook pro 13 mid 2010 and worked. So, I passed the battery again to macbook early 2011 and worked fine. I thought this very weird, but it is ok. The big problem came after: about two or three days of regular use, the mac just didn't turn on (I'm sure the battery charge was full). Even the battery charge button didn't work, like as the battery didn't stay there. However, if I shake the mac, something happen and the battery start to work normally. few minutes after (around 15 minutes), the mac shut down immediately, like as someone disconnect the battery from MB. If I shake the mac, the same thing happen again, few minutes after the mac turn off. The other strange fact is: if I open the mac, disconnect and reconnect the cable of battery (that connect with MB), the mac start work properly and 2 or 3 days after the problem go back.
Anyone has a clue?
I'm not confident about a bad contact problem of the cable with the MB, because the problem is repeated with some regularity of days (ever 2 or 3 days after connect the cable to MB).
I guess could be a problem in the logic board of the battery... What do you think could be? If the problem is because the logic board, is there a solution?
Thanks

Call Apple and get them to take a look at it, you've done all the 'customer troubleshooting' you can ...

Transferred my Library to new laptop, but how to associate/sync iPhone with new laptop?

I got a new laptop. The old laptop is still working. I transferred my library using the Home Sharing method and all of my items were moved except my apps. I plugged in my iPhone to the new computer and used "Transfer Purchases from iPhone" option and all of my apps were added to the library. But, now I don't know how to associate the iPhone with the new computer. When I plug in my iPhone to the new computer. It starts to sync. It says steps 1 through 3, spins for 20 seconds and says complete, but nothing was done. I do not get the "this iPhone is associated with another library" message when I plug it in to new computer, perhaps because I've authorized both computers. All I can find in my searches is how to avoid losing all of your data and how to transfer your library, but none has dealt with this exact situation. I am stumped as to how to get iPhone associated with new computer. Can I transfer my backup from the old computer and restore from backup? Other thoughts? Sorry if the answer is somewhere (I'm sure it is), but I have spent two days looking.

Randers4, so I carefully followed the directions (only one that confused me was about adding a fake address/calendar entry, is that for Macs, I'm using a PC?.) I restored it from the backup and everything looked good. I had hope, the final step says to sync it and when I did, I had the exact same problem. It spun, went quickly through only 3 steps (even though there were 7 sync steps with my old laptop) and nothing changed. It clearly didn't sync.
So, I had an idea that I would back up everything by right clicking in the left pane and forcing a back up on the new computer, and then erasing the entire phone and then restoring from the backup I just made to see if that would make a difference. So, after I tried that and it restored, it was weird. All of my settings were there. Some folders were there, my pictures were there, but all of my apps, folders, music and video was missing and it still wouldn't sync. So, then I had to plug it back into my old laptop and do a restore from there to get that stuff back.
Shouldn't I get a message when I plug the iPhone into the new laptop saying this phone is connected to another computer? I tried "Reset Warning Messages" but it doesn't do anything. At this point, I don't care if I lose some of the stuff from my iPhone (texts, etc)...but I want it to sync to the new computer because my old laptop is on its death bed.
So frustrating, all of my iTunes content is on the new computer, the only piece that is missing is getting it to "talk" to the iPhone. Times like this I wish I wasn't a poor teacher and could afford to get a nice Mac laptop.

Weird issue with adjustments on Olympus E-P1 adjustments with my MBP 17" i7

Hi.
I have a very weird problem with Aperture on my MacBook Pro.
When I do adjustments on pictures (RAW from an E-P1), adjustment being (for now) auto-enhance and lighten shadows applied to a whole batch of pictures, the result picture is sometimes (could not find a pattern) totally "wrong", like overexposed of with colors totally off.
When that happens, if I reset all adjustments for the picture then undo the reset with COMMAND-Z, I get the correct, expected picture.
This is a total waste of time!
Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks in advance,
Jérôme.

What software and colorimeter are you using to calibrate it? I use Spyder3 Elite and I get great results. Datacolor did recently release an update to the Spyder3 utility especially for the new MacBook Pros.
With the Spyder3 you have to uncheck automatically adjust brightness in the display settings because it has its own built in light meter that adjusts your profile according to ambient light levels.
I also have a 27" Apple Cinema display that I was able to match with the built in screen using the Spyder3.

Problems with new iTunes categories

My podcast, the Amateur Traveler (http://AmateurTraveler.com) is having a weird problem with the new iTunes categories. Using the new guidelines I changed my two feeds (AAC, MP3) to have this for the category:
<itunes:category text="Society & Culture">
<itunes:category text="Places & Travel" />
</itunes:category>
Currently my podcast shows up as one of the top 100 in "Society & Culture" but does not show up in the top 100 in "Places & Travel". Since that is a subcategory that does not seem possible.
I looked at the feeds of some of the shows that are in the top 100 and they are still using the old category. So I added this to my rss feed.
<itunes:category text="Travel" />
But that does not seem to have fixed the problems.
Ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem, but with "Sports & Rec" for the main category and "Professional" for the subcategory.
I show up in the "Show All" for Sports and Rec, but not at all in "Professional".
I know that our podcast is rated more popular than some podcasts that appear in the Top 100 for professional. We should be appearing ahead of them in that list, but we don't appear at all. Our podcasts have similar names, so if I do a search I can see that our popularity is higher. So why are they in the Top 100 and we aren't
I have my code typed correctly. I don't get it.
