Where do I go to discuss Adobe scripting in general?

I’m new to Adobe scripting, and I have questions about scripting in Photoshop,
which I assume I can post here,
But I also have questions about scripting in general. I ran across a post in the InDesign forum,
where the response was “moved to the scripting forum.” But that forum isn’t on the list of available forums.
So where do I go to discuss Adobe scripting in general?

Help with first Adobe Script for AE?

Hey,
I'm trying to create a script that will allow me to set a certain number of layer markers at an even interval to mark out a song. Could someone help me troubleshoot this script? I've been working on it for ages now, and I'm about to snap. I've basically gone from HTML and CSS, to javascript and Adobe scripting in the past few hours, and I cannot figure this out for the life of me.
I want to create a dialog with two fields, the number of markers to place, and the tempo of the song. Tempo is pretty simple, its just the number of beats per minute. The script is meant to start at a marker that I have already placed, and set a new marker at incrementing times. Its mainly to help me see what I'm trying to animate too, even if the beat is a little hard to pick up every once in a while.
Also, is there a better way to do this? This script will help me in the long run because I will need to do this pretty often, but I'm wondering if there was something that I could not find online that would have saved me these hours of brain-jumbling?
Thank you very much for any help you can offer.

You should ask such questions over at AEnhancers. I had a quick look at your code but could not find anything obvious, so it may relate to where and when you execute certain functions and how they are nested, I just don't have the time to do a deeper study.

Anyone know where can download some dissertation adout adobe bridge plug-in?

anyone know where can download some dissertations about adobe bridge plug-in?I`m vexationing and afflictioning ...........

So yes from what I gathered on the phone support call, the update would download and fail during the install. The support person did a remote desktop session where they dug through tmp folders checking various log files, etc. They downloaded and tried installing some other type of patch. No go. After an hour or so they threw up their hands. I did a search for that to see if they followed up with a case # for the call, and I couldn't find it. Either they didn't send me one or I accidentally deleted it (but it's not in my trash/archive so doubt that).
Prior to the support call, I did a chat session, which was dropped because a link loaded into the session, ending it. That was after I had been troubleshooting with them for about an hour. Frustrating. So I opted to call in instead of chat, see above. The case # on that chat is #0185619250. I didn't follow up on it since I went the call route. Here's another case I found on my acct, dealing w/ this matter.

Looking for an email discussion lists script.

HI! I am looking for a email discussion lists script that
works on a windows
platform. I have looked on Google but only found Mailman
which is good but
only works on UNIX/Linux. The other I found has to be
installed via a
setup.exe which is only good if you own and have direct
access to your own
server.
Does anyone out there know of a email discussion lists script
in ASP or PHP
or similar that uses an ms-access or ms-SQL database and
works on a windows
platform?

Help, where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop CS6

Okay, I admitt, .... I am an idiot that is new to Adobe Photoshop.
But help the new girl out, here.... Please...
Where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop Extended CS6.
I searched Adobe Help in Dutch already but they point me towards options that doesn't excist.
Maybe they were there in Adobe CS5 and I am reading an older version of the documentation...
But in CS6 I can only find the option Render and no Render Preferences...
Thanks !!

Adobe changed the way video is rendered in CS6. Adobe Media Encoder in now used in CS6 only a subset of the Adobe's full Adobe Media Encoder is included in CS6 is a dll. I do not think you can add new Rendering Presets however you can change some setting when you use the supplied Reddening Presets. Perhaps if you have the Adobe suite and have the full Adobe Media Encoder you can create some presets and add them to Photoshop Rendering presets. I seem some compliants about CS6 Quicktime rendering presets lack the power of CS5. The Rendering presets seem to be stored in sub folders in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder"

I'm trying to switch my adobe script membership over to the unlimited app membership one I get it.

I pay for adobe script pro monthly but i'm subscribing to an unlimited app subscription. Can I switch over My adobe script membership to the unlimited membership so I only have to pay one price? Thanks

Do you mean Acrobat subscription by Script pro monthly ?
Is unlimited app subscription referring to CC ?
If that is the case, then you can use the Acrobat 11 pro present in CC & not use the acrobat subscription.
Hope it helps you.

WHERE CAN I FIND or DOWNLOAD ADOBE FLASH BUILDER 4.7 STANDARD?

1 year ago I bought Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Standard an i have license key. Installation files i lost. Creative Cloud contain Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Premium, and does not contain Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Standard. WHERE CAN I FIND or DOWNLOAD ADOBE FLASH BUILDER 4.7 STANDARD?

You can get all the PDF and Online Help files from the below link :
http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2010/08/help-documents-for-creative-suite-5-pdf -and-html.html
And yes, you can call the Local Help by pressing the F1 key but for that you need to have Adobe Help Manager(AIR application) installed.
Open Adobe Help Manager->Go To General Settings->Select "Yes" under Display Local Help Content onlyand hit done.
Launch CS6 application->Press F1 and it should open the pdf file instead of online help.

Download and installation help for Adobe links
Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages. They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3. If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.
