Flash Builder 4 - some basic Questions

-Very well, I'm a total essential with flash, so I apologize for the nubbish garbage, I will say...

.. .and like any node of forum, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.

That out of the way, I have a few questions.

First of all, I would like to get the software to create flash games, flash animations and web design in general. I guess that Flash Builder 4 is the right software for it? If this isn't the case, please let me know what is.

I'm quite familiar with the Eclipse IDE for Java. I read somewhere that the environment of the building was "based on Eclipse,' which for some reason any actually surprised me a lot. This environment of standard construction with FB4 or is it part of something else?

Assuming that it is the correct software, and this is the right section to ask, where would be a good place to start to learn flash? I have a computer science background, so I know the basics of most of the stuffs programming. The program built in tutorials? They are all good? I'll probably use w3schools for more help as well. Where can else I learn some tips?

Also, I noticed there are a few discounts for students. I attend college full time, so is that enough to be eligible for discounts of such?

Hello

You can create animations and games with Flash Builder, but honestly, I think you'll find more easily and more quickly using Flash or Flash Professional because it gives you easier control of this type of installation (Visual rather than code).

Flash Builder (Eclipse) is really the best way and the most common is to develop Flex applications, you can use the standalone or plugin Eclipse and dive into it with full functionality in both. Is there another IDE, but personally, Flash Builder is still my favorite and actually convinced me to use Eclipse more for other projects and languages.

Adobe has great resources for getting started, there are also some fantastic courses on lynda.com, which is where I always go to form upward on a product or a new topic (I'm not affiliated, just a fan), including on a Flash animation which may interest you with ActionScript 3 animation, there are some courses. Most of these forums have some great people ready to answer and help with questions, also Adobe Press books are great to touch the ground with. Shameless plug I've also conditioned videos on my site www.uibuzz.com.

I'm going back to my first paragraph if, I think Flash is likely to agree with you're needs more Flash Builder, but the great thing is whatever allows you to become familiar with the ActionScript 3, all this applies, my background starts with Flash, and then moved to Flash Builder with little or no re-learning other than the Flex framework.

Hope this helps,

Kind regards

  • Some basic questions on TestStand

    Hello

    I'm new on the test stand and I just finished my first sequence. I have some questions on how to do better.

    My sequence steps about 100 it is running. One of the steps that happen quite frequently is a break so that the previous output VI can take effect. Right now I use a VI with one that takes an integer as an input and makes a break during this time. Is there a more elegant way to do it?

    VI another I use saves some data and runs all the 6 step or so. The only difference between each execution is a setting of path for the filling of journal to be issued. I wish that the sequence to be as clean and well placed as possible. Is there a clever way to short-circuit the number of steps down?

    Basically, it seems that you have basically 3 things that could potentially happen: travel, Journal, break sensor.

    So why not create a data type for every thing.  For example, your MoveSensor data type would be a container that looks like this:

    MoveSensor

    Boolean SensorFlag

    Digital NewPosition

    Digital CurrentPosition

    etc...

    Your Log data type would look like this:

    Boolean LogFlag

    String FilePath

    Digital time

    etc...

    Your break would be just a number (PauseTime)

    Then, you bring a container with each type of data into it.  And then do a table of these containers.

    Now by using the ForEach flow control step type, you can iterate through the table.  The pseudo code would look like this:

    ForEach item in my table

    If CurrentElement.MoveSensor.SensorFlag is true

    MoveSensor to CurrentElement.MoveSensor.NewPosition

    CurrentElement.MoveSensor.CurrentPosition is equal to the new position

    If LogFlag is true

    Log LogPath (maybe the loop on that for a certain period of time)

    Wait (CurrentElement.PauseTime) set to 0 if you do not need to take a break

    End ForEach

    This way you would add just the elements in the table.  You can also write the array a property object (read about those in the help) file and the test, just read in a different property object file that would fill your table with different values in function.

    Hope this helps some,

  • Some basic questions please about iCloud photo library

    I am today store all my photos locally in my iOS and OSX devices.

    In addition, I use time machine and cloud CrashPlan backup.

    Recommend using iCloud library instead of my present meanneging photo?

    IN the affirmative. When turning on photo library from iCloud, it will replace the unlimited lacal automattecly?

    Thank you.

    1. using iCloud photo library or not it is a personal decision - nobody else can do it for you - my personal choice is to use it for a small library, keeping a larger separate library and the use of PowerPhotos to move photos between libraries that I find that the best compromise between cost and the connivance to me - you and others can find some better implemented

    2. so far nobody has restored successfully a library of Photos CrashPlan form then I suggest that not rely you on it for a backup - and ICPL is not a backup, is a way to share your library among multiple devices

    3 / ICPL-turning will not replace the photos - it merges your libraries in a library that is exactly the same on all devices and is related any modification on any device is made on all

  • Some basic questions

    Dear all:

    I'm new to workspace so please accept my apologies for these fundamental questions.

    So I installed vworkspace console management as well as the connection broker role. but when I want to add the broker for connections to the location it gives the error (the system could not find all servers in the domain XXX). It would be appreciated if you can let me know if additional configuration should be made at this stage

    Thanks to you all

    Hello Sina,

    You can check the services and verify that the "computer browser" service is enabled and running. If not then turn on and start the service, leave a few minutes and then check back the vWorkspace Console to see if you can now see the domain servers.

    Hi Avinash,

    Once you have activated the trace from the front-end server, it should ideally add trace data in the same file.

    #1. XX_DEBUG_ON - based on pqp_utilities.set_trace_on

    settings - P_TRACE_DESTINATION (-entered text only), P_TRACE_COVERAGE (text - entry only), P_ERROR_MESSAGE (text - output only)

    settings - P_ERROR_MESSAGE (Text - output only)

  • Some basic questions that I have answered :)

    (CS3)

    Hey, I use Photoshop professionally for 6 years and am JUST to get into video editing, I have a few questions.

    Please bare with my noob questions.

    1)

    I import a video of 200 MB and add a simple black fade for the beginning and the end.

    I then export as a movie and it explodes to 400 MB! What gives?

    2)

    In addition, every time I export under film, video quality always seem to suffer. Even with no compression selected. Is there a solution?

    3

    I really want to download my videos on YouTube, so what is the best method of compression for this? (while maintaining a high quality video)

    4)

    My original video image size is 640 x 480. First presets is that size (the closest is 720 x 480)

    How can I create my own custom image size? It is not yet this uder "Custom settings" option

    And my original frame rate is 30 fps, but first has only 29.97 FPS at the beginning...

    Thank you very much. I'm sorry if it's asking a lot, but any help will be MUCH appreciated.

    video 720 p from a digital camera seems strong enough...

    Any type of 'video' a sounds of the camera as a bad idea if you want to change things.  At least until the manufacturers of these devices go account that their 'video' must be in a professional, editable - format DV, DVCPRO HD, AVC-I.

  • very urgent! some basic questions about the discoverer

    1. If I've made a few changes to a workbook (for example: change certain conditions) on Discoverer Desktop, them take effect at the same time the plu discoverer?

    2. how and where can I do control for a user access to some folders and an another user to access some other workbooks two on desktop and more? (access to workbook control)

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    If I've made a few changes to a workbook (for example: change certain conditions) on Discoverer Desktop, them take effect at the same time the plu discoverer?

    When you save the report using the desktop computer the workbook to changed for all users, including the most.
    But in order to see the change you'll have to re-login to more.
    This is because the workbook is saved in the memory of the user's PC.

    How and where can I do control for a user access to some folders and an another user to access some other workbooks two on desktop and more? (access to workbook control)

    Only the owner of the workbook can do that.
    This is done in the office as well as in more.
    In desktop go to the toolbar "-> manage workbooks-> file sharing" then choose the workbook and share it with who ever you like.

    In addition, you can find it in the toolbar "file-> manage workbooks" then click on one of the reports and select "share" from the right.

    You must make sure that the shared user have access to the BA that the workbook is the result, and that the user has the privilege of using the office/more computer (this is done in the System Administration tool)

  • The GPS metadata - please help with some basic questions

    I have a GPS (from GiSTEQ) encoder which I use to collect location data. I use GeoSetter to encode the image files. I have a set of jpg of my camera that I've already imported into LR 3 (under Win7 64-bit). After importing, I loaded GPS data using GeoSetter and collected the device GPS data. I know, I should have updated the jpg files before import.

    * Now that the jpg files are there, I can't figure out how to make visible the GPS metadata. I tried to update the metadata of the file and looked at various metadata views of the Panel in the library, including "EXIF and IPTC" module (my default), 'Place', "Default" and "All plug-in metadata", but nothing seems to resemble GPS fields. What I am doing wrong?

    * How can I easily I updated all jpg files of this collection to include their GPS data and not lose the metadata, develop settings, etc I already applied for in LR?

    * I usually shoot RAW - what I would do differently if I had coded the location of RAW files is coded import before or after?

    Thank you!

    Dilip

    I run Geosetter and LR but only with RAW files, but I'm guessing that the same steps are necessary for JPEG files.

    1 open Geosetter and open the folder containing the images

    2. synchronize images with the GPS log file - check Geosetter finds a match for the images.

    3. get location data

    4. save results - Geosetter should prompt you if you leave without it.

    5. in LR select images and metadata for files read - this will import data from co - ADR and the location of the GPS from the image or sidecar file.

    If an image is a not all GPS areas data do not show in LR so it seems that your images do not have the data.  You can check by opening Geosetter and looking at a picture in the list of files - it will show GPS data

    I hope this helps.

  • Return between Flash Builder and catalyst?

    It is, or will be - this, be possible to return to Flash Catalyst once a project was brought in Flash Builder?

    I imported the .fxp project into Flash Builder, made some code changes, then exported a .fxp project again.  I want to be able to edit this in catalyst so I can make changes, but when I try to open the project that catalyst says that it cannot be opened because it has been published outside of the application.  Is there something that I am missing or is this all just not yet implemented?

    It would be a shame not to "round trip" of catalyst on the generator.

    Thanks for your time and the product sounds very exciting.

    Hi Watern,

    For the first version of catalyst, we put the spotlight on the one-way workflow of the catalyst on the generator (start in catalyst, complete in Report Designer). We realize that this is a big limitation, hope to address shortly after the first exit.

    There are a number of partial solutions to this problem, you can find by searching on the forum. Most of them involves the Division of labour between the catalyst and Flash Builder as cleanly as possible, which is surprisingly easy to do given the new skinning architecture. Here is an excerpt from a post I wrote and which seems to have been lost:

    "If you are iterating between catalyst and Builder on a custom component, you can find that should divide the component custom off that way. I intend to write an article explaining this, but here is an overview:

    • In Report Builder, create a new subclass of the SkinnableComponent. The logic of the component put in there.

    • If you need to add logic visuals as "now pass the konfabulator 10px left", you should get konfabulator a part of the skin, using the metadata (see Scrollbar.as, in the Flex 4 SDK, for example).

    • If your component has States, declare them with metadata.

    • In the catalyst, make sure your custom component has the parts and States.

    • Then import the custom in Builder component.

    • In the MXML file for the custom component, change the tag root to . It's now a skin (not a component custom).

    • In the MXML file for the skin, add metadata [HostComponent ("com.me.MyComponent")] (see HScrollbarSkin.mxml, in the Flex 4 SDK, for example).

    • Each time that you create the instance, change the code to . Now you can create an instance of your component skinnable and assigning the skin created in catalyst.

    Fact! If you make changes more catalyst, you will have to repeat steps 5 to 7 times (for now!). »

  • Questions unanswered in the Forum Flash Builder

    Hi Adobe - we have a few lingering unanswered questions in the Flash Builder forum.

    I am looking for a download link for Flash Builder 4.7 - for the non-CC version.

    OR

    Creative cloud version will work with my Flash Builder Premium of 4.7 serial number and do I just install it through the creative process of cloud?  I really don't want to go creative cloud at the moment - but I don't know if it's the same file in Flash Builder 4.7 anyway and as soon as I put my serial number, it will take me off creative cloud.

    So... looking for a download link for Flash Builder 4.7 for the serial number of my non creative cloud.

    Urgent-thanks!


    Dan

    Thanks kglad.  I ended up going with just the installer of creative cloud - which is very nice!  He installed Flash Builder 4.7 and then it was the trial version - so the next time I opened it, it gave an option to add a serial number - I did and it worked.  So I think we're good!

  • Question on dnuee install Flash Builder 4.6

    Hello

    I curretly have Flash Builder 4.6 installed on my computer - it was initially installed as FB4.5 when I installed MC CS-5.5, but the 4.6 version was made available as a separate installation of MC.5 when it became available in November - so I'm now having FB 4.6 as a stand-alone installation.

    My question is this - do I have to uninstall my standalone installation of FB4.6 in order to install MC6 via my dnuee subscription (when it will be available may 11) - or FB 4.6 in CS6 installing install without errors (at a different place?). The reason why I want to make is that FB can sometimes be buggy and I the current system works well. I would like to install the new 4.6 FB and make sure that I work and compiles well before uninstall stand-alone verson of December last FB 4.6.

    Thank you

    Hi Bobba1,

    The apps included in the subscription of creative cloud are installed individually, so you could simply not install FB and let the installation stand alone current, you have as it is.

  • Flash Builder 4.6 for PHP and SDK 2 questions

    I have problems with Flash Builder for PHP 4.6 and the Playbook Air SDK 2.0. It worked fine with the Air SDK 1 Playbook, but for 2.0 he moved not (error integration with Flash Builder) and when I try to update in Flash builder I get an error of missing requirements. Flash builder 4.6 works fine with the PlayBook SDK, but not the PHP version. I bought the PHP version after the end of my trial of 4.6 so I could build an app that tied in the server services and to think that both versions are the same.

  • Pre-Noob question, Flash Builder for PHP and MySQL... can pack and write?

    So I am COMPLETELY new to Flash Builder and Flex universe, but I'm familiar with PHP / MySQL. One thing that has not been specifically stated to me, is what Flash Builder with (Zend) PHP with the MySQL database when it is packaged and exported? If he did enter the database and is able to execute the query PHP application to the MySQL database within the application?

    I'm confused if she needs to go on the web and communicate with the server. Can he communicate with a LOCAL database?

    Thank you!!

    No Flash Builder package not the final result with data base and

    webserver. To run your application locally you would need to have a

    PHP and Mysql Web server running on your local computer.

    Maybe watch using wamp http://www.wampserver.com

    http://www.imonggo.com/> on your local computer.

    Otherwise I suggest you will probably need to create your program in

    Java who can speak directly to local databases without the need for php.
