Which is better .SWF or .FLV

Hi,
Which video type is better to use in Breeze .SWF or
.FLV?

Usually .flv format is the way to go. It will progressively
download so your viewers don’t have to wait for the entire
video to load and I think it’s a better quality video.
I’ll only use an .swf video when I need to sync the
video with audio over the phone. This is because you can preload an
swf video (with no sound) in the background of a previous layout.
Use the .flv format. It should give your users the best
viewing experience.

Controller for .swf and .flv files is disappearing

When I place an .swf or .flv file in Dreamweaver, the controller, which I created in Flash, disappears when previewed in Safari. Do I forget about creating a controller in Flash before exporting to the site directory in Dreamweaver and create it in Dreamweaver instead? Can someone either tell me in simple terms how to do this, or direct me to a tutorial? Many thanks.

If you put the page, the .flv file, the .swf files, and the Scripts folder online, we should be able to help. Otherwise, all we can do is make wild guesses as to what you've done.
BTW, the most common mistake is forgetting to upload the Scripts folder if this is what I think it is.

TLFTextField or TLF, which is better to use in CS5?

Hi,
I have been developing content using TLF with CS4 and in Flash Builder. Recently when I switched to CS5, there was this cool TLFTextField. So now I wonder, TLFTextField or TLF, which is better to use in CS5? Almost all of my text will be dynamically generated. Please share your thoughts - possibly with pros and cons.
~ Shiyaz

I assume you've found TLFTextField in Flash Pro (I can't remember if Flash Builder made a TLFTextField class or not). Anyway, if you're considering using Flash Pro, here's some background on the TLFTextField class:
This class was created primarily for backwards compatibility with Classic Text coding. If you used Flash Pro CS 4 or earlier versions, and you wrote ActionScript for your text objects, you were using TextField objects. So, when you upgraded to CS 5, and you decided to convert all your old Classic text objects to the new TLF objects, all your code would have broken were it not for TLFTextField class. TLFTextField implements the TextField API so that your existing TextField code can be used in the TLF environment.
So, if you're an ActionScript programmer who is already comfortable programming using the TextField API, it certainly makes sense to continue doing so but using TLFTextField objects. However, if you want to take advantage of the new TLF features, the old API doesn't really give you the ability to do that. So, the TLFTextField provided a new API:
function get textFlow():TextFlow;
The TextFlow class is the top level class of the TLF model objects. Using that object, you can then set attributes on your text just as if you were working with TextFlow in Flash Builder. So, in essence, TLFTextField provides backwards compatibility, continued use of the familiar API set, and access to the TextFlow model class.
Another nuance to be aware of is that if you choose to embed fonts, TLF requires the newer "DF4" (for DefineFont4, based on the SWF Tag name) vs. the older "DF3" fonts that TextField requires. For text on the stage, Flash Pro will do all the tricky work for deciding when to embed DF3 and when to embed DF4 fonts, but just be aware that mixing Classic text and TLF text when using embedded fonts can cause a "double tax" on your SWF size because it may embed the same font both as DF3 and DF4.
Good Luck!

How to convert a flash demo (either FLA or SWF) into FLV file

I first converted the FLA file into AVI file by using the option of export movie in my flash software. But the ouput was not good, the quality of the demo was hit. The animations looked shaky. Then I tried converting the same file into QT format but as I use Flash 8 I was told to change the version in the publish settings to either Flash 5 or a lower version which did not support the actionscript and the animations that my file had. My file occupies 13,320 frames which makes the FLA and the SWF file quite heavy. Is there any way in which I can convert my demo to FLV format without using a third party software and just use Adobe Flash and Adobe Flash Video Encoder to do the same?

I wanted to know how can the conversion be made without using any tool apart from Quick Time movie player and Adobe Video Encoder.
Though I managed to make the FLV file I discovered that the background music was not playing.
I want a solution through which I can make the FLV using only Quick Time player and Adobe Video Encoder and not lose the background music and the voice-overs that exist in my file.

Exporting FLA/SWF to FLV

How can I turn my Flash 8 animation into an FLV file?
The only solution I've found is exporting it as a .MOV file.
But to do this I have to use Flash 5, which destroys my animation
since there's no movieclip filters.
There has to be a way to do this, or Adobe is just retarded
for not seeing the massive need for animators uploading to the web
via FLV. My searches online for a solution have been fruitless.
Please help!
Thaaaaaaaaaaanks.

I realize that this is a response to a post that was first added a loooonng time ago, but thought I'd weigh in on this topic after cruising through this forum.
One possible solution to converting SWF to FLV (although many other folks have suggested using other 3rd party tools) is to export your fla as a .MOV file. Afterall, the Flash Video Encoder that comes shipped as part of the Pro version of the software will only allow you to encode .avi/.mov, etc files.
So, while working in Flash, rather than converting the file to swf, go to File -> Export -> Export Movie and output the file as an avi/mov file or whatever. From there, import the resulting file into the Video Encoder and that will help convert the file into an flv.
Hope that helps, and sorry for the delayed response to this post!

Unload external swf from flv component

Please help.
Is it possible to add action script to the flv player
componet buttons?
I am trying to unload an external swf file (voice over) if
the viewer chooses to play one of the many videos in the
presentation. Currently I am using an invisible button over the flv
component play button which unloads the swf. This works but would
rather assign the action directly to the flv play button on press.
Any suggestions? Thank you

I've created a empty movieclip at x : 0, y : 0 instanced as "container"
i've got working like this,
but now i 'm trying to call a function in root, directly from child.
luca.swf (back button_
box.bt_voltar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClosed);
function onClosed(e:MouseEvent):void {
          if(this.parent) {
                     if(this.parent is Loader && this.parent.parent)
                      this.parent.parent.removeChild(this.parent);
                     else
                      this.parent.removeChild(this);
          var p:MovieClip = this.parent.parent as MovieClip;
          p.traceEntrada();
and main.swf
function lucaHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
                    limpaHome();
                    bt_luca.visible = false;
                    bt_conheca.visible = false;
                    bt_jogo.visible = false;
                                var ldrLuca:Loader=new Loader();
                              ldrLuca.load(new URLRequest("luca.swf"));
                              ldrLuca.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
                              addChild(ldrLuca);
                    function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event):void{
                              container.addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
function traceEntrada():void{
               trace("called from B.swf");
Now, as you can see, how can i call a function in parent from the loaded swf.
how can i call this trace function from the external loaded swf?
    var p:MovieClip = this.parent.parent as MovieClip;
     p.traceEntrada();
ps, im not using classes

How do I convert a .swf to .flv

Hi,
I'm currently developing content for a flash e-learning
environment that requires .flv extension. I'm using Captivate 3 for
the task of creating the content, but have not found a way to
export or convert the .swf output of Captivate to make it .flv
I'm totally at a loss - can anyone help?

I'm not sure this will help, but what I know is that the FLV
format is designed for streaming or progressive download of video
from the server to the user's browser by converting it to the flv
format via an import procedure into a Flash doc. Normally I use
Flash to import a movie into a Flash file layer, add a sound layer
for, say, a background music loop, on another layer and publish it
as a swf and flv, using the Component Inspector to set the rewind
to "true" or "false".
This process creates two required files: the final swf and an
flv which calls the swf when the page opens or other event occurs
on the web page. The user experience is absent the jerky appearance
that often occurs from swf alone or movies alone.
The video component that is imported into my Flash doc as
described in my first paragraph above, can either be a .mov from
anywhere or one I create in Flash and export as an .mov
I don't know about formats other than .mov I think it depends
on your final deployment, i.e. web, dvd, whatever.
I have not used captivate, but if it will create a .mov for
you, should do it. You may have, however, other controls to build
in as well. Flash 8 and above allows you to do that in the process
of creating the .flv
Then, you must load the .flv and swf onto the server at the
same level. Or, you must make other code changes so the flv "finds"
the swf. A different path can be entered using the Component
Inspector in Flash.
Hope that helps.

Which is better to use: BEx query or Web Application as an iView in portal?

Hi gurus!
Are there any experienced opinions, which is better - publish a BEx query in portal or publish a BEx Web Application in portal? Is it easier to alter the layout attributes etc. if I create a BEx Web Application first before publishing?
What is the way of fixing for example filter item height if I publish BEx query in portal - is there a Web Application that it uses anyhow which I can fix? Or can I use in that case iView -properties in portal?
Thankful for advice
Sari

ok, means i can use jsp:useBean tag for all my
classes that are not actually bean. so it will be
instantiated at run time and provide efficiency .No. Jsp:useBean is used for java bean components.
>
but when should i use import statement in my jsp and
it happen at translation time so will it create any
type of burden for my code if i import multiple
classes.For non-java beans, you need to import the classes, period.
It's not a burden, it's a necessity.

Which is better for performance Azure SQL Database or SQL Server in Azure VM?

Hi,
We are building an ASP.NET app that will be running on Microsoft Cloud which I think is the new name for Windows Azure. We're expecting this app to have many simultaneous users and want to make sure that we provide excellent performance to end users.
Here are our main concerns/desires:
Performance is paramount. Fast response times are very very important
We want to have as little to do with platform maintenance as possible e.g. managing OS or SQL Server updates, etc.
We are trying to use "out-of-the-box" standard features.
With that said, which option would give us the best possible database performance: a SQL Server instance running in a VM on Azure or SQL Server Database as a fully managed service?
Thanks, Sam

hello,
SQL Database using shared resources on the Microsft data centre. Microsoft balance the resource usage of SQL Database so that no one application continuously dominates any resource.You can try the
Premium Preview
for Windows Azure SQL Database which offers better performance by guaranteeing a fixed amount of dedicated resources for a database.
If you using SQL Server instance running in a VM, you control the operating system and database configuration. And the
performance of the database depends on many factors such as the size of a virtual machine, and the configuration of the data disks.

Which is better??????

which is better?Dam really confused which speaker to buy??
i currently have a creative m2600.but am not getting enough performance or that feel while watching movies like avatar,step up 3 etc......so am planning to buy a 5.1.......not planning but i have decided to buy a 5.1....so..
which is better? the 6160 or 6060 or 6100.
which of these will provide me relly great exprience while playing games and most importantly while whatching hd movies and while listening to music.......
and other than this what i have to ask is...what is this "db" in speakers. i mean while looking at a speaker specs we can see it..like 65db,85db,75db..etc........
and when i compared specs of the three speakers i mentioned above i saw that the 6160 has low "db"........why is that?

The specs is just a guide, you won't be able to tell the slight difference in db using just your ears. Besides, it is just a comparison between the level of a music to the level of background noise, it does not necessary mean which speaker sounds better. If possible, please make a trip to your local electronics store and try out the speakers system yourself.

Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ? and why ?

If you are going to be making a lot of brochures, with photos, you probably want both. Photoshop to edit the photos, and InDesign to assemble and layout images with text.

Which is better an android or apple

Which is better getting an android smart phone or an Apple I Phone?

As the poster Horses 547 said its a matter of personal preference. However I own and use both. Printing via air print is smooth and easy on an iphone. Printing on a android phone is iffy and tedious and you will have to find an app to print since there is no native app to do so. I purchased http://www.printhand.com which costs around $12 from the app store. but it is in my opinion the best printing app out there for android. I use it on my android tablet as well and its great. This company is the maker of the print app on iphones.
The iphone is a little harder to put your own ringtone on the device. However very easy from the Itunes you put on your computer and hook into.
Another thing an iphone does is if you use their cloud service or pay for a song it is available on all your ios devices. Iphone, ipad, or ipod or up to five computers registered through itunes on those computers.
Google play music also can sync with all your android devices.
Iphone don't have external Micro SD card slots, so the storage on the phone is all you have.
Iphones use imessage which does not count against your text allotment to another iphone or ipad user. it send regular text to non iphone users.
Another thing is Face Time but I found a better program called oovoo at http://www.oovoo.com or in the Google Play Store for free.
Iphones are paper thin but I have an android that has a larger view area and is also paper thin and light. Depending on the android phone it may have a removable battery, whereas iphones are sealed as are some new androids. I have found the sound for music better on my iphone, and videos are crystal clear. Again on some better androids the music and video is comparable .
There is really not many differences but it up to the user.
One last good thing is iphones are updated via Apple, no long waits for OS updates like is done with Android devices, and android devices on Verizon.

all pretty identical tho I would go with cs, just because I
like the GUI much
more than other versions...

Which is better for bulk message scenario in sap xi RFC or Proxy

which is better for bulk message scenario in ( RFC or Proxy ) ?
Edited by: prabhatxi on Aug 6, 2010 4:44 PM

Proxy will alwaays be better option in this case, as it is adapter less framework, and communication happens directly with XI central integration engine. So it is always fast communication and gives good performance.
But still you should consider other factors, you may consider using RFC as well, as sometime we go for RFC/IDOC as this are the standard interfaces already available rather than creating structure...
May be you can share more info on what type/volume data are you planning to send via XI?
Hope this cleart your doubt..
