• BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry noob a few questions.

  Hello. I am quite new to the Blackberry platform. I was a Windows Mobile user for a long time and now I made the switch. Once an expert with WM devices, but now a complete noob with Blackberry. So please don't be too hard on my noobness . in any case to my questions...

  (1.) I wanted to sign in BB online so I can manage my e-mail accounts in the computer oppose on my camera and it wouldn't let me create a sign in ID or connect. Whenever I have enter my PIN/imei number it tells an account has already been done, but I don't have an account. The only thing I did with my blackberry so far is implemented my gmail on my blackberry account and my gmail info does not appear to be sufficient for connection to blackberry online.

  2.) I have set up my gmail to keep the messages on my machine during 15 days. After the 15 days are up these messages are removed from my email all together? or did he just disappears from my camera, but stay in my email account?

  (3.) from WM platform, I got used to having my calendar on my home screen. I guess I have to download a new theme for my blackberry, but I don't want to bog down the new theme to the effectiveness of my BlackBerry smart phone. That will be the case if I download a new theme or am I just being haunted by fears of slowdown I've experienced with the platform WM glitch? suggestions as to what theme?

  You must connect on your BB device and create a user/pw name it for the opening of the office.

  Just removed from your device.

  It should not. There are a few bloated themes out there (mainly those with animated backgrounds).

  For example, here's one that I use now that I like much, with the upcoming calendar events and the last messages displayed on the home screen:

• NOOB on P2V question

  Thanks in advance for any input-

  NOOB here after having downloaded and saved a VMware vSphere on a single server hypervisor (quad core Xeon 22 Gb ram 4 NIC and disk of 1 TB Raid 5). First attempt, use the converter stand alone on my PC. Worked perfectly. Then Server #1 Windows 2003 SP2 on IDE drive. A ran "Convert the Machine" even under XP. BSOD on startup. No safe mode. Attempted to change Boot.ini od but file was accurate. Reran conversion more than 2 times the same result. Then, the server #2. Once again Win 2003 SP2. Ran "convert to Machine. Web information found and ran "Configure machine" after sysprep installation correct files including install VMware tools. Exact same results except that now I get a VM splash screen before auto BSOD then reboot. Able to access safe mode. BSOD before anything else. What the hell I'm missing?

  In the converter (step 3) wizard select 'trick' and the "disk controller" the value of "Preserve the Source" "LSI Logic.

• Basic AS3 Question

  Hi to everyone.

  Why does ActionScript 3 must be on keyframes and not in the object I'm working?

  Thank you...

  AS2 should have been only on managers too much than to put code in various places is bad style. AS3 is just good behavior of coding.

• noob on SegmentedControl question

  Hi there I started coding, and while I use the segmentedControl button, I do not know how to run a function when you press a segmentedcontrol option.

  

  As you can see, I want it when the 'new' is pressed, it instantiates a function that does what I want, but how do I do this? I'm just a beginner and I still have to learn how to code any help greatly appreciated.

  Here is an example of code I just wrote which should be able to help you understand the segmented control:

  SegmentedControlTest.as:

  package{   import flash.display.Shape;   import flash.display.Sprite;  import flash.display.StageAlign;  import flash.display.StageScaleMode;  import flash.events.Event;
  
    import qnx.ui.buttons.SegmentedControl;   import qnx.ui.data.DataProvider;
  
    [SWF(width="1024", height="600", backgroundColor="#E8E8E8", frameRate="30")]  public class SegmentedControlTest extends Sprite  {     private var mySegment:SegmentedControl;       private var buttonArray:Array;
  
        public function SegmentedControlTest()        {         super();
  
            // support autoOrients            stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;            stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
  
            buttonArray = [{label: "Black"}, {label: "Red"}, {label: "Yellow"}];
  
            mySegment = new SegmentedControl();           mySegment.dataProvider = new DataProvider(buttonArray);           mySegment.setPosition(150,125);           mySegment.setSize(300,30);            mySegment.selectedIndex = 0;
  
            mySegment.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, onChange);
  
            addChild(mySegment);
  
        }
  
        private function onChange(e:Event):void       {         trace("A change has been made.");
  
            switch (e.currentTarget.selectedIndex)           {             case 0:
  
                    fillBackground(0x000000);
  
                    break;
  
                case 1:
  
                    fillBackground(0xFF0000);
  
                    break;
  
                case 2:
  
                    fillBackground(0xFFFF00);
  
                    break;
  
            }     }
  
        private function fillBackground(value:uint):void      {         this.graphics.clear();            this.graphics.beginFill(value);           this.graphics.drawRect(0,0,1024,600);         this.graphics.endFill();          } }}
  

  Make sure you use the e.currentTarget to get your segmented control and you can access any of its properties. Also note that ounces, you use the SelectedIndex in code when you create, it distributes the Event.CHANGE event. So just be ready for it. Good luck!

• variable and as3 question text

  Hello

  I have three vars:

  var textMessage1 = "Text 1";

  var textMessage2 = "Text 2";

  var textMessage3 = "Text 3";

  I have an another var that increases it's the value by one whenever I run across a particular setting:

  nextText = 1;

  I have a text box - textBox - I want to display 'Text 1' if nextText = 1, or "text 2" If nextText = 2. "

  I can't get the TextBox to display what I want (it is formatted and everything has been set up to properly, of type textBox.text = "blah", shows "blah".)

  This is incorrect, but how do I display - textBox.text = [text + nextText];  ?

  I tried textBox.text = ['text' + nextText]]; but I'm told there is no such variable as text message, it's true.

  I tried different versions of the above, but I don't have this right - of ideas how to?

  Thank you

  Shaun

  use:

  var tl:MovieClip =;

  var textMessage1 = "Text 1";

  var textMessage2 = "Text 2";

  var textMessage3 = "Text 3";

  textBox.text = tl ["text" + nextText];

• Noobie layers? Question

  Hi all, I am new to photoshop and I have an interesting problem. I'm trying to do a background image for a Web site, so far I can see well enough set up but I want to only certain parts of the image to stay on top of the "Press Center" section of the site. Example is here:

  http://www.Vigil-Guild.com/

  What should I do in the picture to make sure they can stay on top (Im assuming that I need 2 images... being the normal background and the second being the parts that I want to stay top of page to connect to the first.)

  Save your piece of foreground image in a format that supports transparency, such as .png.  Carefully place the images in your HTML layout, so that they line up, the image that you want to be on top expressed after the pieces of information.

  The .gif format supports transparency as well, but it's much more limited it can carry only 256 colors.  It has the advantage of being able to ongoing animation, however.

  To create a partially transparent image in Photoshop, do the image layer (you can do this with a simple background image by double clicking on the background in the layers palette), then simply erase the parts you want to be transparent.  In Photoshop, you'll see a through the transparent parts checkered pattern.

• Add a child on 4 with as3 framework

  Help: I have a flash homepage using xml with different pages on different periods. I want to add a photo gallery of xml on frame 4 so that it only appears on this page on the homepage. The photo gallery is in another flash also using xml. When I try to load the Gallery he either appears on all pages or none at all. Can someone help me, what code should I use to upload the Gallery to fram in my flash 4. I'm a noob in as3.

  If you place the code to load the slideshow as part of 4, which will load only under 4.  Regarding the show only in box 4, if you add an empty movieclip on the stage as part of 4 manually and load the slideshow as a child of this movieclip, then it should only display in 4.

• Navigate to and from various movieClips

  Hi all

  I'm a real noob in AS3. Its so frustrating now to try to re - learn how to navigate to different movieclips at different levels in my flash demo... Or for that matter, how to navigate in all with keys on the timeline.

  I have a clip called mc_Flyouts in my main script. Inside are a right arrow and a left which, once clicked the shutter an interpolation and flyout buttons appear. I want him out when the user clicks one of these buttons appearing in this film, they jump to another picture-key back on the main timeline.

  I got the following code to work, but her send me errors:

  CODE:

  Stop();

  mc_Flyouts.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
  var btn_Home = "btn_Home";
  function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
  btn_Home = event.target.name;
  gotoAndStop (btn_Home);
  }

  ERROR:

  ArgumentError: Error #2109: frame label left_arrow not found in scene 1 of the scene.
  at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
  to Main1 / btnClick)

  (Theres more, but they are not specific to this question)

  Once I execute this part of the film and go to "btn_Home" on the main timeline, I use the same code, but with instance names different etc to try to go to another section on the main when scenario the user clicks another button within a movie on 'btn_Home '.

  Nothing will work.

  Any suggestions?

  Is there a good book that anyone can recommend for most who deals with these questions?

  stop your timer when it is not necessary.  If the deletion of a displayobject of the displaylist should trigger that, use the removedfromstage event.

• Dynamic (lazy) loading the source .as

  I know that this is probably a pure AS3 question, but the purpose is related to the PlayBook I ask here.

  Is it possible to code ActionScript3 'lazy-load "?  (It would be like what you would call a dynamic linking of libraries, rather than statically linking).

  In the Python world, the 'import' statements are indeed true statements, transformed the runtime load (and even on the fly compilation if necessary) other modules.  You can even put 'import' inside functions, so that they will be run well after the loaded application, even by only if you call a function that is rarely used.

  Is this also possible with AS3?  (I confess that I have not yet tried to 'import' in a function.)  If it is, it works the same way, where any code is not yet loaded from the file SWF (or wherever he may be) until the import statement execution?

  A use case would be to allow a very wide application start execution, perhaps display a custom splash screen, as it continues loading the modules "in the background".  They have alluded to this in a few videos (first WebWorks webcast?) where they mentioned that the image of custom in the file of your blackberry - splash screen tablet.xml "could even be integrated into the application.  That makes no sense to me, unless there is a form any lazy loading were available.

  You can use the Modules for this to dyanmically load views, code, services, what ever.  Unless she changed, imports are included during the compilation step not the enforcement stage (However, I was wrong once before).

• "Shading" packages qnx.*

  A different PlayBook related but effectively generic AS3 question for the experts:

  Is this possible in ActionScript3 of components of "shadow" in the standard namespaces?  I use the term "shadow" in the sense of "replace/overwrite with another with the same name and signature, so all calls to the original go to the replacement.

  This is entirely feasible and common for the purposes of testing in the Python world, because everything is dynamic.  You can replace, for example, the "time.sleep ()' by your own function, so that any code (your own, or even the code of the standard library) time.sleep () of appeals (which normally blocks for the specified number of seconds) to go to your function instead, which can do whatever, including return instantly, or changing the duration of sleep etc.

  If it was possible in AS3, I imagine it would be quite possible to create a library of qnx.* of replacement for some of the elements that are not supported out of the Simulator.  Things like qnx.pps.PPSChannel, for example...

  Does anyone know if this is possible and if yes, how would you do?  (I suspect that it is not possible for some reason any, because if it were then I think we would see a person having already and by releasing the package in open source.)

  Peter,

  There are a few options but without the source of its pretty much a shot in the water. I have advanced and tried a method and it worked for the classes that the error because of the PPSChannel. Basically, I added a qnx.pps.PPSChannel class for my project and did nothing then the error would go far.

  Again, this will affect the functionality of QNX classes but it gives you at least the possibility to give the page/interface design user on the desktop instead of publish a bunch of times on the Simulator.

  Here's the full entry on how do:

• AE problem make given the constraints of format

  Good so I'm doing my first all the video in Ae(its an introduction). I'm really happy and I'm just as mourad makes it * and brag to everyone I know about what Ae hardcore user I am, when adobe makes my video of 8 sec to about 1.2 GB and I'm just like waiting is not right and I started googling and apparently many people face this problem and it can easily be solved by compressing your video more far by setting your DV NTSC, PAL DV or DV (24 p advanced) video codec. I go ahead and change the video codec and the BAM 'Parameter Mismatch'. It shows that all of these codecs operate at 720 x 480 Max while I was working on my original project was created in 1920 x 1080. If I still continue with this and make my audio not not synchronize and is a few seconds behind that there where it should be at the origin. This is because is executed in 1920 x 1080 at 30 fps while 720 x 480 runs at 25. If someone familiar with this problem was help me I would be indebted to you.

  All the good guys its my first time on this forum and I might sound like a noob asking this question, but Googling it does not clear results.

  
  

  Thanks in advance

  You do not want to be using standard codecs, you want be using Adobe Media Encoder to render files to the h.264 format using a standard HD preset. Check out the third video here: Basic Workflow
