What is a good technique for making a scrollable area in Flash Professional?

For example if I have a long list of chapters and I want users to be able to scroll up and down. In a web browser with html the scrollbar automatically appears.

One simple option is to use a ScrollPane component.

Were can I find a good turtorial for making a contact scheme in flash?

I am making a flash site, and wonder were I can find a good turtorial for making a contact scheme, where people can answer questions who is sent to my email.

Just search Google using the terms "AS3 contact tutorial" and you should find a few good tutorials.

What's the best technique for making this page work?

Here's a link to a jpg showing a design for a portfolio site that I'm building:
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll130/Mickmastergeneral/test_modeling_texturing.jpg
The image of the ATV will be a Qucktime file; the visitor will be able to scrub the slider to see a pre-rendered rotation of the model. The visitor will then be able to view a different model by clicking on one of the thumbnails at the bottom of the page. So far so good.
But the visitor will also need the ability to display the model's texture map in a new window (by clicking on one of the the texture map icons on the right), as well as choose wireframe or shaded mode (by clicking on the appropriate text button; this would load a quicktime movie of either a wireframe or textured model turnaround).
So, the trick is getting all the appropriate stuff to load when the user clicks on a lower screen thumnail: The Quicktime movie, the appropriate texture map icons for that model (which in turn need to link to pages containing the correct image), and "Shaded" & "Wireframe" text buttons (that link to the appropriate Quicktime movie.)
I haven't done any web design in years, so I'm using an ancient version of DW (Dreamweaver Ultradev 4), and I'm definitely not up on the latest techniques. I know how to work with frames, but I've heard that it's a good idea to stay away from them. Would layers work for this? I've worked with Behaviours and I know how to do image swaps and hide/show layers, but I don't know how (or if) I can use that trick to make the appropriate texture and wireframe/shaded links appear. Any ideas how I should proceed?

So, do you think it would make sense for me to just bite the bullet and learn Flash?
No - I don't think Flash is a good tool for a general purpose website other than for special cosmetic effects. But I do think it is the thing to use if you want those, and not QT.
- I already have a ton of those model animations rendered out as h.264 Quicktime files. They look pretty good and are a reasonable file size. If I bring them into a Flash file, does that convert them into Flash? Will that affect image quality or inflate their file size?
They should convert quite acceptably.

What is the best technique for resetting a view?

I was wondering what is the best technique for resetting the initial state of a view?
I am creating a form and want to provide a reset button for the user. I could write an initialize() method that my action handler calls, but I am wondering if the framework already provides this functionality in a more elegant way.
If I write an initialize method, then I have to manually populate my fields with my context mappings in my initialize() code to mimic what happens automatically by the framework the first time the view is called. This seems prone to error since this is duplicating the mapping logic.
Michael

Hi,
Even though it boils down to the same logic, for consistency sake it is good to have the initialization logic coded in the inbound plug method and then to call the outbound plug on reset.This make more sense when you have multiple navigation possible to the same view through multiple inbound plugs.
Else, have an initialization method.
PS: check whether the reset() method of IWDContext make sense. This is helpful when you have remove dynamically added nodes and attributes.
Thanks and Regards,
Sam Mathew

What's a good book for getting started?

I've been doing web design in HTML and ColdFusion for almost 3 years. It's clear that ColdFusion is on it's way out and I need to learn J2EE/Java/JSP etc. I have a few questions:
Java is a term I've heard associated with C++ and other types of programming as well as Web design. Are the Java/C++ Java and the Web Java basically the same type of language? Is the Web Java and JavaScript the same thing? I'm very confused!
What is a good book for getting these types of questions answered and getting started in J2EE/Java/JSP? There are quite a few variations of script languages out there and I want to make sure I learn the right stuff, ie the stuff that employers are going to be needing.
Thanks!

Here is a free online version of a good book:
http://pdf.coreservlets.com/Core-Servlets-and-JSP.pdf
Print it off or read from the screen. Otherwise, there are several good Java books out there. What I would do is go to the bookstore and thumb through a few books. Depending on what type of book you want (example based or theory) find the books that you think would satisfy your learning style. Write down the names and authors, go home and buy them used online at Amazon for tremendous discounts. This way you can buy several versus just one.

What is a good strategy for keeping the OEM GRID up and running?

Hi,
What is a good strategy for keeping OEM GRID up and running? Currently, we have grid installed on one linux64bit box with 4 cpus and 8 gigs of RAM, oms 10204, repdb 10204, agent 10204. In addition to using this oem grid for notifications and performance monitring, we are also using this oem grid for scheduling over 700 jobs running over 30 targets.
What is a good strategy to have to backup the grid so that when this box goes down, we can restore and then recover the grid? Please lead to white papers or documentations. Thank you.

Take a look at Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture, a set of architectural recommendation on setting Oracle software up for high availability.

What program do i need for making dvds I can play in a dvd player

what program do i need for making dvds that i can play in a dvd player?

iDVD.
Apple no longer sells it. Buy any version of iLife from your favourite software vendor. iLife 11, 09, and 08 all contain the same version of iDVD.
When you get the disc install only iDVD, then update it here:
iDVD 7.1.2

1.67GHz PowerPC G4 processor
2GB memory (DDR2)
120GB 5400rpm hard drive

ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics card with 128MB DDR memory
The Latest or the last model of Powerbooks
Is it good enough for making music or editing few video clips?
Will Snow Leopard run on it?
Can i upgrade more ram in it ?

Yes, that Powerbook can be used to make music or edit video clips. When it was new, it was required at the North Carolina School of the Arts for their Film program, using Final Cut software. Having a more powerful Intel CPU would speed up the rendering and processing times, however, the 1.67Ghz Powerbook can certainly handle video editing.
I know people that have used Garageband on it to make music.
The last operating system you can run on it is OS X 10.5 Leopard, with the last release being 10.5.8.
It's RAM is maxed out at 2GB.
As long as you don't need newer software that requires an Intel processor and aren't going to rely on that as your system to access streaming video's on the internet, it should work for you.

What is the best tool for making a "coupon" for my website?

What is the best tool or app for making a "coupon" for my website?

Not according to the people I have rented from because I asked them. They provided me with a suggestion I simply thought I would get another opinion.
I am not trying to get anything for free I just want more than 24 hours to finish watching a movie on my iPad. If iTunes would give more than 24 hours to finish a movie (like 48???) it would help. I have spend endless hours trying to comunicate with Apple about the issue. Guess what no one cares! I love Apple and my Apple products, I am a very good customer but I think they are over the top on this issue, they have a monopoly.
Maybe you have another suggestion??
This is the first time I have ever used a "Support Community" for ANY product, sorry I broke the rules. I have never taken anything for free from anywhere.

Good Resources for making Flash Games?

I'm new to Flash, and I'm working on getting through a book on the basics. What I'm wondering though is, are there any good resources out there for making games in Flash CS4. I know I'm going to get some "learn the basics first" replies, and yes I know I need to get a solid grounding in those, but I want to be able to start gathering resources, and look ahead to what I'll be able to do with Flash in the future.
By resources I mean books, other websites, your own advice about game making, etc...

i started developing in flash about 2 weeks ago for the same reason and have written a little animation and started writing a multiplayer game, which will be fully functional and properly skinned soon. If you are like me, you have a vague understanding of object oriented programming, know at least one other programming language and can adapt to all this event-driven stuff. Here's my story in brief.
I started with some dev center videos and then went to AdobeTV for more videos, especially to newbie channels like Douge Winnie's. I think I also played along with some flash down under videos to learn more action script 3 (very important in a game, I would say).
I'm sure you want to get onto your game project right away, but you are probably 3-5 mini projects away from that. If you don't do some toy projects you'll just end up doing a crappy job on your game or plain old getting stuck. The mini projects, whether they are elements of your game, or exercises in videos, will force you to find the ressources you need to learn from.
If you want to make a multiplayer game, try smartfoxserver - it is very well documented with little tutorials and stuff. Some tutorials on
this youtube channel too (where he mostly just runs you through the documentation). Smartfox has a few good examples of nicely built interactive programs. Just make sure you are using their actionscript 3.0 stuff.
Lastly, understand and use Components. They will save you a lot of work. smartfoxserver has components (called bits) and so does flash. I imagine you can even download extra components. These are things like scrolling text boxes, buttons that look like buttons, etc.
Cheers,
Alejandro

Analog to Digital Converter-- What's A Good Product For My System?

What would be a good analog to digital converter for Final Cut Express HD 3.5 on a Mac OSX 10.4 system? I've used a Canopus on a MacPro with Final Cut Pro before and liked it, but wasn't sure what would be a good product for my macbook. I've looked at the Canopus advc-110 and 55 but am not clear on the difference and if it would work with what I have.

The ADVC-55 is capture only. It includes composite & s-video inputs and stereo audio inputs. Firewire output.
The ADVC-110 is bidirectional (meaning you can both capture and output through it - this is a very good way to monitor your video during production as you can see the actual quality on a monitor/TV rather than just your computer screen, which has limited capability to show you the actual video quality.) It includes composite & s-video inputs and outputs; stereo audio inputs & outputs; Firewire input & output.
The ADVC-300 is also bidirectional and includes composite, s-video and component video i/o (D1 connector) inputs & outputs; stereo audio inputs & outputs; Firewire input & output; and software that enables you to tweak its video settings. Helpful in cleaning up particularly bad analog videos.
I've used these things for years and they all work great. I do not believe there is any difference in the internal conversion hardware ... The primary differences are support for one-way vs. bidirectional conversion; input/output connectors; and the software that comes with the ADVC-300.
If you have basically clean analog video, any of these units will be fine. You can use any analog source (VHS deck, camcorder, DVD player, etc.) and would typically use iMovie or Final Cut Express to capture your video on a Mac.

What is a good extenstion for pop up menus?

I recently created a site in Fireworks that used pop up menus
but then found out later that they don't work on Internet Explorer
(you can view the site at www.caspre.com it is the very last menu
item at the end called "about cascade"). What I need to know is if
there is a good extension for dreamweaver (or fireworks) that won't
cause problems in ie. It should be noted that the pop up menu works
great in Firefox.

Mind to qualify your opinion in terms of code quality,
accessibility, and
support? I'm sure that would be quite helpful information for
lots of folks.

What is a good design for remote Views?

Hi All,
I am thinking how would I design my process for performance consideration in retrieving dynamic values of table/view data.
The requirement is like this:
1. We have 50 databases residing on each own server counterpart (50 servers).
2. Each database has table Patch_LeveL (apps_name, patch_level), which contains just one row only to reflect the latest patch level applied for the apps on this database. Note that are we constantly on applying service packs for this apps.
3. On our central monitoring server (db). I create 50 database LINKS for each of the 50 databases.
4. I created 50 views over these links to make it centralized to represent the 50 Patch_Level tables. As patch_level_view1, 2, 3.....patch_level_view50.
5. I then create a central view as .... as union of the 50 individual views Actually I am just planning to do the above activity.
My question is....is this a good design for performance? Can you share be a better approach?
Is there a limitation of joining "union" of 50 views?
Thanks a lot,

Is there a limitation of joining "union" of 50 views?What can happen is if the connection to one of these servers is interrupted, the big "union" view will not work. As said by above poster MV, with lets say an hourly refresh, helps with this situation as you have the data that was gathered last time (and most likely it is still valid).
