Maybe this is a limitation of playing back flash MX video content within Director MX. Seems odd that the playback functionality would be different in the fmasl mx browser and the flash mx xtra for director.
If you're using the flash streaming server, then I would expect it to stream.
What I mean is stream from the hard drive. All the video must load into memory before it plays back. This is something that we have to deal with with flash MX video running in Director MX.
I think I am biased against flash since Flash as a video delivery tool is like requiring an extra plugin to view something that should be handled by the video plugin in the first place.
BUT more importantly, Flash does not stream video easily unless it is from the flash server. Video embedded in a flash movie must be completely loaded into memory before it plays - no streaming sections from the hard drive.
Try embedding the Matrix reloaded preview in Flash and serve that up to yourself. You won't like it, especially the loadtime.
Flash is using a version of a Sorenson Codec but that's not enough. It's like using a dump truck to bring home the ice cream when a motor cycle will do it just fine.
All we're doing is watching video right? Use a video plugin.
If you notice, this browser is 10.2 meg. After doing a get info on the file, I noticed that it supported languages that I would never use. To make your Safari smaller, do a get info on it, click the languages arrow and remove all the langs you don't want/need.
Removing French, German and Japanese brought the file size down to 7.6 meg.
Yup. Actually, I added up the time that I spend reporting each and every spam that I got. That is just me who was ripped off, not even the time and money of the ISPs whose bandwidth has been coopted to send out out their unwanted intrusive messages.
Think about it this way. I was "on" the internet back when it was spam free. We could carry out business dicsussions and get work done without intrusive interruptions. Today, we have illegitamate marketers hawking mostly 100% scam wares right in the middle of our personal and business conversations. This is an intrusion into our privacy and is exactly like having a conversation with a few people while you are walking down the street and every 3rd person jumps in the middle and tries to get you to buy what they are selling.
We HAD a great resource for communciation and productivity that several hundred leeches have tried to corrupt for their own profit at our and the system's expense. Law enforcement and government is doing nothing effective to stop it. If I could get away with it, I would.
Since I can't I'll just use a service that doesn't let them get through. That still doesn't mean we should stand for it. There are more of us than there are of them. One would think that if we ARE really intelligent, we'd find a way to shut these bastards down and remove any profits they made off the backs of small ISPs and suckers while intruding on our private and business communications.
I say it is not good for the stability of the ecosystem. Of course every ecosystem is always changing and responding to that change or going out of business itself.
Of course, I guess I should have specified what "not good" was referring to with respect to the ecosystem. To the health of the ecosystem as it surrently exists - but upon deeper observaion, that is not 100% correct.
So difficult to summarize appropriately but I'm doing my best : ]
Love the fact that my thread is overrated. This is my survival story. Grrr.
Yeah, email me at zavpublic at mac.com if you'd like more details.
I got arthritis in my spine about a few years ago while under stressful conditions at Macromeida. At that time, the neurosurgeons wanted to fuse my spine. As a result, I did my own medical reseach and took a long look at the foods I ate and slowly, I felt that I was feeling less worse. At the time, I noticed that the PBS show for Dr. Perricone recommended the same foods to avoid that I had thought I should avoid. I followed some of this and found positive evidence and a positive trend in my general health and reduction of the severity of my degenerative arthritis. Weekly research on eurekalert.org and newscientist.com has returned medical studies with evidence to back up what I had assumed AND observed in my own body. Here's a major tip. Once you eat something, check if you itch or break out 15 - 30 mins later. If so, your body is intolerant of part of what you ate or the bacteria in your skin loves what you ate and is reproducing. Email me if you want my sources. I don't want to risk geting my Karma slashed again for posting useful information.
Best and remember, arthritis sucks ass. Stop it before you get it.
You are so correct. Recent articles on newscientist and eurekalert mention what I've found out personally. Sugar and processed flour is BAD for you. Sugar leads to inflammation and promotes the body's inflammation cycle which is destructive to tissues. the inflammation cycle promotes itself and is large fault in our system. REaD: Arthritis, Crohn's disease. Also, processed flour is partially digested and very quickly converts to sugars. Sugars in addition to promoting inflammation, cause an insulin rise in the body and over a long lifetime intake, may set you up for diabetes. If your body is still tolerant of high sugar/flour intake, the bacteria in your skin might like it also and sigar is just food for them. If you eat foods with lots of sugar or flour in it, check in 1/2 an hour and see if your skin breaks out or is itchy. The bacteria in your skin is eating all that digested sugar and you're having an inflammation response or are breaking out with pimples. No fun.
Glad you brought this up Pharmboy, hopefully, since this is related, it's not too off topic. I'm recovering from spinal osteoarthritis after working to reduce the inflammation cycle. It will probalby affect us all. Better to find out BEFORE you are told that they want to fuse your spine like they did to me.
Good call. Why is it that we desire to preserve those animals that are cute or majestic but the ugly or unappealing ones don't get any press.
Sure baby seals are cute with those pleading eyes but does that make them any more deserving of preservation than an endangered vulture, possum or snake?
Extinction happens with or without our help. If extinction is caused by our actions (or not), it can change an ecosystem. This is not good. We should not encourage extnictions among organisms in ecosystems where it is a keystone organism or any organism that substantially lowers the health of the ecosystem. More interdepent organisms in an ecosystem help to balance the fluctuations (buffer) of populations within that ecosystem. Response to external stresses (famine, disease, food shortage, habitat destruction) are also mitigated. Therefore, there are levels of "bad" regarding extinction.
Creating an organism to fit into an ecosystem that was not ready to take it is also not appropriate.
And in a related note, good and evil are fallacies since what is good or bad is wholly dependent upon the perspective of the observer.
If the music industry has screwed us over for many years - remember "now that compact discs are available and cheaper to manufacture than cassettes, you will see a reduction in prices" (paraphraised from a record company exec) - is it ethically acceptible to rip off the music industry like they ripped us off? Compressing music files and file sharing software enable this type of approach. Is it ethical?
What happens to the artists represented by large companies and small companies in this scenerio?
Apple in the beginning was obsessed with the details. And this matters because the structure behind the details was right.
So what is wrong? Finder windows. In OS 10, the finder windows could be open in the background and they would update live and pretty damn soon! you could organize them so that the most recently added or updated windows listed their files at the top of the window, a godsend if you had a window you (or someone else) were saving files to.
What happens now? If the window is open, you must click on the/a file to see the contents update and reorder themselves. Damn useless if you ask me.
What is equally as bad is the new columnar windows with support for long filenames. You can not individually drag the columns to make long filenames fit AND you can not sort the contents be "most recently" modified.
Also, finder window contents are not remembered unless the window is closed, so setting a window to list view and then opening another folder within that window FORGETS the settings you just gave it. Infuriating to have this happen with every window. Makes you want to use the old finder window system since that actually remembered what you told it!
Sure, OS X doesn't crash like the Mac OSes before it but usability of several areas has taken a SERIOUS hit.
What is worse is support for samba (windows) shares. If the contents of a window have changed on the share you have visible, you must remount the volume and repoen the window to see the new contents!
I'm a mac user since 1985 and my g3 266 booted to OS 8.5 seems to act crisper than my 1G Ti with regards to UI responsiveness.
In some ways, it feels like OS X is a user hostile unix command like with a sluggish gui tacked on.
It's hard to like a new IU like this when whenever asked to comment about it, your comments turn into a bitch session. Makes you wonder if apple's engineers are really wondering about the details.
Now I am a rather big mac fan. My roomie saw my 1G Ti and had to get a 12 inch. Here's what happened.
- iSync did not work with his ericsson/sony phone. All meetings were 7 hours off from iCal settings. This rendered it useless. - The Ericsson/sony phone could not connect the 12 inch to the internet over bluetooth and was a major time sucker to try and get it to work. In the end we gave up. Time is money. - Plugged into our network, the 12 inch couldn't see through our firewall to any outside urls or tci/ip addresses including those at my house. My 15 inch worked fine. LOTS of time on the phone to tech support. No resolution. Airport support was not an option but I even did buy an airport extreme to help him out but he was already soured.
Too many issues to deal with. It was sent back to Apple and we were sad.
Stuff's got to work out of the box and work well. We were all rather disappointed. I remain the sole mac user at my company.

Shame on you Yahoo. Check your sources.
Attach an applescript to that folder that deletes all contents upon a change of contents.
I could not get this to work 100% of the time on my g3 400 but it's not TOO hard to do.

Excellent. Flash just shouldn't be used for video. Thanks.
What is so evil about quicktime? Is it more evil than real or WMP?
Didn't MS using Canyon development steal 1000 lines from QT's core years ago?
Didn't QT start this whole personal computer video thing in ths 90's?
Safari must have dropped the connect. IE is getting 163 kbps now
You'll need QT pro OR MPlayer OS X which you can get at versiontracker.
154 kbps......

For all the effort to do this, it is worth it to pay the extra 50 (or so) bucks and get the Airport Extreme with the antenna jack.
How much is your time worth after all?
If it's not worth it then by all means, go ahead and drill.
