Working with Cache and CacheHint property or other performance tips?
Hi,
I've been working with JavaFX for the past couple of months. I developed a GUI frontend to the system we are using. At the moment the application is fully functional and I have reached to point where I would like to slightly improve performance and also include a few transition animations in the navigation. See below for the SceneGraph structure of my applications.
StackPane (E)
*** BorderPane (B)
****** Top:
********* HBox: Logo, 3 toggle buttons for navigation
****** Centre (C):
********* AnchorPane: (Used for resizing children with window size)
************ BorderPane:
****** Top: Page/Frame title
****** (A) Centre: Content swapped by the different toggle buttons (each is an AnchorPane with different controls)
****** Botton: Optionally filled with a TextField displaying messages from a background process.
****** Right: Optionally filled with Help content for the current page
*** (D) Popup dialogs/forms stacked on top of the Border Pane
I would like to add the following transitions:
(1) fade out the current centre node of (A), replace it with the new page's node and fade it in.
(2) Scale down and disable (B) or (C) (depending which of the two seems more natural while adding (D) to (E), which is faded and scaled up.
i) So to implement these transitions efficiently to which nodes would you advice me to switch on caching?
ii) should I switch it on at (E) (root), or switch it on to specific nodes involved with animations?
iii) Is it a good idea to switch on 'high quality' (cache hint) caching for all nodes and switch the cache hint to 'speed' for animating nodes?
iv) Should I have caching enabled for nodes with textfield, listview and label controls or is that something I should avoid. These include nodes which will be animated by (1)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice.
how to keep my sidebars constant so that I can add content and keep the lengths the same without the background being affected.
If what you're asking is how to achieve equal height CSS columns, see this article.
http://alt-web.com/Articles/Equal-Height-CSS-Columns.shtml
The most popular method is Faux Columns -- a 2- or 3-toned background-image applied to your #container div & repeated vertically to fill the page.

Question
better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
DetailsAs a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
Any luck? -
I am considering buying an iPad 3. I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. On the iMac I have many photos and work with iPhoto and Photoshop Elements on the computer. Can I interchange or transfer photos and other work from the iMac to the iPad? How?

Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want. -
Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.
Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.
Microphone works fine with Quictime on another mac, so I do know how to use it. The one where it is not working (A) had an external microphone and camera attached earlier, and indeed it does work with that external microphone, but not with the internal microphone selected; and (B) had RealPlayer installed previously.
Any suggestions, please?Hi,

Adobe has given up on mobile flash for any device. They announced this a while ago.
They admitted mobile flash is a disaster and are jumping on the HTML 5 bandwagon.
Adobe has moved on, why can't you?

Hi,
How are all of you. Well I am new to Flex. But I have started
building simple applications. One of the top most problem I am
facing is working with XML and Button. Can you please assist me in
this. I am explaining my problem:
I have an external XML file like this:
<Menu>
<button>
<idnt>0</idnt>
<label>General Health</label>
<text>General Health pages is currently under
construction</text>
</button>
<button>
<idnt>1</idnt>
<label>Mental Health</label>
<text>Mental Health pages is currently under
construction</text>
</button>
</Menu>
Now I want to generate Buttons Dynamically from this XML. And
the second thing which is the most problematic is that how I code
it so that when I press the Button labled "General Health", it will
show the same text as in the XML tag coresponding to tag
"<label>General Health</label>" ?
I badly need this. I am realy confused on this. Kindly help
me.
Regards
..::DeXLet's assume that variable "node" contains one element of the
XML. For example,
<button>
<idnt>0</idnt>
<label>General Health</label>
<text>General Health pages is currently under
construction</text>
</button>
such that node.label would be "General Health", node.idnt
would be 0, etc.
You can build a Button like this:
var b:Button = new Button();
b.label = node.label;
b.data = node; // more on this later
b.width = 60;
b.height = 26;
addChild(b); // critical - adds the button to the display
list so you can see it
b.addEventHandler( MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick );
You must set the button's width and height unless the button
will be in a container that will size its own children (like Tile).
Every Flex component has a data property. You can set it to
whatever you like. For your needs it makes sense to set each
Button's data property to the node it relates to.
Now suppose that code above is in a function, createButton:
private function createButton( node:XML ) : void {
// code from above
Here's how to make all the buttons where "menu" is a variable
that contains your XML:
for(var k:int=0; k < menu.button; k++) { // menu.button is
an XMLList
createButton( menu.button[k] );
Now to handle the event:
private function handleEvent( event:MouseEvent ) : void
var b:Button = event.currentTarget as Button;
trace( b.data.text);
When a button is picked, the description element will print
in the debug console. Replace the trace with whatever code you
need. -
FaceTime no longer working with Yosemite and IOS 8.1
I have used FaceTime flawlessly for some time with no issue.
After I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBookAir and IOS8.1 on 5S and iPad air, I've had a problem connecting.
When I get a call, all the devices ring (as they should) but it will not connect on the first device I pick up on. It says connecting
but all the other devices keep ringing and finally it says I have a missed call. The connection does not happen. If I turn off
all devices except one, it will work...... do we have a bug here??Thank you for responding to my issue. I spent the better part of two hours trying to get this to work. Bluetooth is enabled on all devices. Each computer is set in Preferences/General to allow Handoff. All computers and iPhones are on the same WiFi network. I toggled all of the major settings off and on. Rebooted each of my computers several times. I finally conceded defeat. Then my daughter asked to have a try at it. She worked on the first MBP for about thirty minutes and informed me that she had gotten continuity to work. And indeed, on her MBP late 2012 she is able to use the continuity features in both directions between her computer and her iPhone 6. But it only works with Mail and Safari. I asked how she accomplished this feat. She said she turned off "everything" on her computer and iPhone (WiFi, Bluetooth, "Allow handoff" under Preferences/General) and then rebooted both the iPhone and the computer. She then turned everything back on. This worked for her. So we tried the same thing on my MBP and iPhone 6. Now continuity works partially. Email activity is mirrored on both the MBP and the iPhone regardless of which device initiates the continuity activity. But Safari activity on the computer is mirrored on the iPhone but not in the opposite direction. There is no continuity function for Pages in either direction. The telephone connectivity works fine on all of my devices– 3 MBPs, Mac Pro, iPad Air, 2nd gen iPad and 3rd gen iPad.

Looking for an app that works with Mac and iPhone that will set calendar reminders of birthdays in contacts.
Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.
Best wishes

Handoff not working with Yosemite and iOS 8
I have three Macbook Pros in my household. Two are mid 2012 models and the other a late 2012 model. Each is supposed to support the handoff feature of Yosemite and ios8. Everything seems to work properly between my daughter's late 2012 MBP and her iPhone 6. But on the other two MBPs in our family the continuity feature does not work on either of them. Receiving and sending calls works fine. But the continuity does not work even though all three MBPs and all three iPhone 6 are on the same wifi network.
I've tried all the suggestions that I could find. Toggling off and on the various settings on the MBPs and the iPhones.

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router.
1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
3. Can I create a network and how?
4. What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical. Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
RayThe key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router. I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule. -
Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.

Device not working with Log and Transfer in FCP
I am trying to get some footage off my camera into final cut pro, but Final Cut Pro does not recognise my device when I try to use Log & Transfer
The camera is question is a Cannon Legria FS20, here is a link
http://www.canon.co.uk/ForHome/Product_Finder/Camcorders/flash_memory/LEGRIAFS20/
I have looked around but can't seem to find any plug-ins to get it to work with Final Cut Pro, does anyone know any way I can get it to work with Log and Transfer
Upon inspecting the hard drive, it saves video files in .MOD format with an .MOI file (which i assume is a metadata file
How can I get it so that my device works with log and transfer?
ThanksHi -
I did a little Google searching for information on your camera and it appears that it is a Standard Definition Camera that records in the MPEG-2 format.
Log and Transfer only works with High Definition material.
You will need to convert your video clips into a format that will work with FCP.
I know nothing about working in PAL, but you want to download an free application called MPEG Streamclip from
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
This application will convert your MPEG-2 files into a format that you can use directly in FCP.
Once you have converted the files to Apple DV-PAL, with the correct frame rate (25fps?) and field dominance you can either simply drag the converted files into FCP or import them using File > Import.
Hope this helps.

The airplay on my i pad works with music and pictures but I cannot get it to work with safari and mirroring. Can someone help me to get things working? Thanks!
As an IT person, I can put my hands up to the same difficulty. Then on double clicking on Home button, find AirTV symbol amongst Music control
Solved my problem having spent hours looking for a complicated answer. Well done Apple for hiding it so well.

Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock" !!!!
Ho comprato un adattatore originale Apple "lighitning to 30 pin adapter" per poter usare i mei vecchi cavi dell'iPhone4 con il nuovo iPhone5.
Se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) direttamente all'iPhone5 , tutto funziona.
Ma se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) all'iPhone5 tramite la "base dock" , l'adattatore non viene riconosciuto e non funziona.
Pensando che l'adattatore fosse rotto, ho riprovato con altri identici adattatori originali, ma il risultatato è lo stesso.
Quindi penso che potrebbe essere un errore di progettazione della base dock che supporta unicamente la connessione diretta tramite un cavo lighning e non supporta la connessione se in mezzo c'è l'adattatore !!

WIN 7/32-bit, Acrobat Standard 9, can't save pdf in "libraries" folders
