Just type the 10 digit mobile number and get the information on the map

Mobile Tracker

All cell phones constantly broadcast a radio signal, even when not on a call. The cell phone companies have been able to estimate the location of a cell phone for many years using triangulation information from the towers receiving the signal.

But using the GPS( Global Positioning System ) it is easy to calculate the live movement of the object using the tracking system.

Because of very simple user friendly app the Mobile number tracking is getting popular. Uses of mobile phone tracking or tracing helps to find the children or elderly people in the time of need.

How Google's Search Algorithm works

2011-04-01T15:22:00.000+05:30

How Google's Search Algorithm works:

The story of Google’s algorithm begins with PageRank, the system invented in 1997 by cofounder Larry Page while he was a grad student at Stanford. Page’s now legendary insight was to rate pages based on the number and importance of links that pointed to them — to use the collective intelligence of the Web itself to determine which sites were most relevant. It was a simple and powerful concept, and — as Google quickly became the most successful search engine on the Web — Page and cofounder Sergey Brin credited PageRank as their company’s fundamental innovation.

Google Websearch Process:

Web search is a multipart process:

First, Google crawls the Web to collect the contents of every accessible site. This data is broken down into an index (organized by word, just like the index of a textbook), a way of finding any page based on its content. Every time a user types a query, the index is combed for relevant pages, returning a list that commonly numbers in the hundreds of thousands, or millions. The trickiest part, though, is the ranking process — determining which of those pages belong at the top of the list.

Google’s massive computing power and bandwidth give the company an undeniable edge. Some observers say it’s an advantage that essentially prohibits startups from trying to compete. But Manber says it’s not infrastructure alone that makes Google the leader: “The very, very, very key ingredient in all of this is that we hired the right people.”

Handling Errors in Actionscript 3 | Flash CS5 try catch in Flash Player

2011-04-01T15:19:00.002+05:30

Flash Player 8.5 supports a try/catch methodology for handling errors in ActionScript. That means you can write code that can intelligently deal with certain error types should they occur. While you cannot handle syntax errors (the .swf won't even compile in that case), you can handle most other error types, such as missing or invalid data. The benefit is that you can attempt to resolve the situation programmatically.

Use a throw statement to throw an error when it is detected. Place any potentially error-generating code within a try block, and then have one or more corresponding catch blocks to handle possible errors.

An example situation:

Suppose we are creating an email application in flash actionscript 3.0 using smtp. We have

To
Subject
messase box

We need the above three as input from user, the first input "To" to whom we are going to mail is mandatory list. so if user forgot to type any mail id or if the typed mail id is not valid then we need to throw an error and exception, must handle error in actionscript.

There are two basic parts involved in working with errors in ActionScript: throwing the error and catching the error. There are several errors, which are thrown automatically by the player, such as IllegalOperationError, MemoryError, and ScriptTimeoutError.

Assign IPV6 Registries, Implement and enable IPV6

2011-02-04T13:30:00.002+05:30

In the same way your phone is associated with a unique number, your computer is assigned a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address when you connect to the Internet. The current protocol, IPv4, allows for approximately 4 billion unique addresses—and that number is about to run out.

This morning the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced that it has distributed the last batch of its remaining IPv4 addresses to the world’s five Regional Internet Registries, the organizations that manage IP addresses in different regions. These Registries will begin assigning the final IPv4 addresses within their regions until they run out completely, which could come as soon as early 2012.

As the last blocks of IPv4 addresses are assigned, adoption of a new protocol—IPv6—is essential to the continued growth of the open Internet. IPv6 will expand Internet address space to 128 bits, making room for approximately 340 trillion addresses (enough to last us for the foreseeable future).

Google, along with others, has been working for years to implement the larger IPv6 format. We’re also participating in the planned World IPv6 Day, scheduled for June 8, 2011. On this day, all of the participating organizations will enable access to as many services as possible via IPv6.

Today’s ICANN announcement marks a major milestone in the history of the Internet. IPv6, the next chapter, is now under way.

Honeycomb - Android3.0 for tablet devices - Google Android

2011-01-29T20:34:00.000+05:30

ANDROID 3.0 - HONEYCOMB

Google will be holding a press event next Wednesday, February 2, at its Mountain View headquarters to show off Android Honeycomb, the company’s tablet-optimized OS.

The stage presentations will begin at 10:00 a.m. PT. Google is calling it the event “A Taste of What’s New from Android.”

What is Android - HoneyComb?

Honeycomb is the next version of the Android platform, designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets. We’ve spent a lot of time refining the user experience in Honeycomb, and we’ve developed a brand new, truly virtual and holographic user interface. Many of Android’s existing features will really shine on Honeycomb: refined multi-tasking, elegant notifications, access to over 100,000 apps on Android Market, home screen customization with a new 3D experience and redesigned widgets that are richer and more interactive. We’ve also made some powerful upgrades to the web browser, including tabbed browsing, form auto-fill, syncing with your Google Chrome bookmarks, and incognito mode for private browsing.

The Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS will be built for both mobile phones and tablets, but speaking truly as the reports have it will be the first Android version that’ll be built for the tablets specifically. The Honeycomb as we have said will come with an improved user interface, a clear app page and a new email interface, which could resemble the Gmail app for the iPad, where in the landscape mode, the inbox is displayed on the left side of the tablet’s screen while the message occupies the rest of the space on the right. Besides the aforementioned feature there’s a solid belief suggesting that the video chat facility, which may have been missed in the Gingerbread, could find place in the forthcoming Honeycomb.

Google Offers as competitor for Groupon - Google Launching

2011-01-29T19:48:00.000+05:30

After spurning Google’s offer, Groupon had to be expecting today’s news. We doubt Groupon would have rejected Google’s offer if it didn’t have a plan for competing with Google. While I admit that is my own hypothesis, Mason has proven more than capable of predicting major technology and business trends. I think it’s a safe bet to say that Groupon is prepared for (and not scared of) Google’s entry in its market.

Groupon :

Groupon also has a huge head start, thanks to its massive sales force, home-grown name recognition and $1+ billion in funding. CEO Andrew Mason and his team have proven that they can outperform the competition, despite having a product that can be easily copied. Google, on the other hand, has yet to prove that it can build a successful social product.

The group-buying giant is also diversifying. It recently launched Groupon Stores, a self-serve deal platform so that businesses can create their own stores. It also released the Deal Feed to combat deal saturation.

Google Offers :

Google Offers is a new product to help potential customers and clientele find great deals in their area through a daily email.

For Google, the daily deals market is all about developing a stronger local advertiser network. Here’s what I said when the news about Google’s $6 billion offer to Groupon first broke:

“If Google goes through with the biggest purchase in the company’s history, it will have the upper hand in local business advertising. That advantage could be so great that the courts stop this acquisition from ever happening. That’s why Google wants Groupon so badly that it’s willing to overpay by billions; if all goes according to plan, the search giant will be flooded with so much local advertising revenue that it will be able to buy a dozen Groupons.”

Google already has a major advertising network through AdWords and AdSense, but it isn’t focused on local. Still, it’s a very good starting point for launching a daily deals business. By integrating daily deals into its advertising network, Google can quickly and easily gain exposure with businesses. In fact, it probably could get enough local businesses to sign up just through word of mouth.

ActionScript Basics part6

2010-11-25T12:57:00.001+05:30

Loops are used to execute same statement of code for definite number of times.

There are three kinds of loops in ActionScript, the for loop, the while loop, and the do loop. There are also two other kinds that are loops used specifically for traversing a collection such as an Array, and can’t be used in any other way. These are the for…in loop and the for…each loop.

For Loop
The most frequently used looping statement ain any language is For loop.

for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++) {

trace("Hello.");
}
The for loop contains three expressions

1. Initialization
2. Condition
3. Increment/decrement

Logic is a part of our everyday lives – it’s a very familiar concept, therefore one of the easiest to understand. We are faced with questions all the time, with the “If” question being the most common. If I go to sleep early, I will be able to get up early. If I take this job, I will make more money. If I go to school, I will learn ActionScript. Using ActionScript, you can answer all of these questions using conditional statements.

Conditional statements allow you to setup the question or logic within your script, and if it is a true statement, then actions can be taken which are defined by you. Conditional statements create smarter scripts by performing an action based on something that has been setup in the program – it makes your scripts dynamic!

Similar to other languages, ActionScript offers designers and developers the use of the following conditional statements:

ActionScript comments are a way to keep your code clean and easy to read. Comments cannot be rendered because the browsers skip them. Most web designers are probably familiar with HTML comments, which are similar to ActionScriptcomments with the exception of the syntax.

Learn Actionscript Basics

There are two types of comments that you can use in ActionScript: single and multiple line comments. Single line comments are created using two slashes “//” in front of the line of text. Multiple line comment blocks are created by wrapping the text with a slash and an asterisk “/*” and closing the comment block by adding an asterisk and a slash “*/”. In CSS, comments are setup in a similar way with multiple line blocks.

Google chrome- Google browser

Google Chrome (BETA) for Windows

Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.

Some exciting features of Google browser :

New Tab page

A fresh take on the browser

At Google, we spend much of our time working inside a browser. We search, chat, email and collaborate in a browser. And like all of you, in our spare time, we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends - all using a browser. People are spending an increasing amount of time online, and they're doing things never imagined when the web first appeared about 15 years ago.

Since we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if you started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build.

So today we're releasing the beta version of a new open source browser: Google Chrome.

On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn't the browser that matters. It's only a tool to run the important stuff - the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.

Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better . By keeping each tab in an isolated "sandbox", we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built V8, a more powerful JavaScript engine, to power the next generation of web applications that aren't even possible in today's browsers.

This is just the beginning - Google Chrome is far from done. We've released this beta for Windows to start the broader discussion and hear from you as quickly as possible. We're hard at work building versions for Mac and Linux too, and we'll continue to make it even faster and more robust.

We owe a great debt to many open source projects, and we're committed to continuing on their path. We've used components from Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox, among others - and in that spirit, we are making all of our code open source as well. We hope to collaborate with the entire community to help drive the web forward.

The web gets better with more options and innovation. Google Chrome is another option, and we hope it contributes to making the web even better.

But enough from us. The best test of Google Chrome is to try it yourself.

Comment Widget For Blogger

2008-03-11T14:50:00.002+05:30

While Blogger doesn't encourage comments and communities, it's still interesting to see who comments on your blog more frequently. This information can be obtained from Blogger's comment feeds, but you need a tool for processing feeds.Yahoo Pipes is probably the best way to combine, sort, filter and modify feeds. Inspired by this Yahoo Pipe, I created a pipe that shows the top 50 commentators from a Blogger blog, based on the most recent 5,000 comments. You can enter the URL of your blog and the number of top commentators, but the list is not generated instantaneously since Yahoo Pipe must fetch and process at most 10 GData feeds (Blogger's API doesn't include more than 500 comments in a single feed). The pipe could also be used to add the list of top commentators to the blog, using the JSON code generated by Yahoo.Depending on the number of comments from your blog, the list may not be very meaningful. For example, if your posts get an average of 500 comments, this list will only reflect the hierarchy for the last 10 posts. To see the total number of comments from your blog, open this feed: http://BLOGNAME.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default (replace BLOGNAME with the proper subdomain), view the page's source and search for "openSearch:totalResults". Google Operating System has 15,217 comments and the most recent 5,000 comments corresponding to the last 5 months.Update. Here's some JavaScript code that uses Yahoo's JSON output.

This could be easily added in a HTML/JavaScript page element from Blogger.

<script type="text/javascript">function pipeCallback(obj) {document.write("<ol>");var i;for (i = 0; i < href = "'" item =" ">" + "<a href=" + href + ">" + obj.value.items[i].title + "</a> </li>";document.write(item);}document.write("</ol>");}</script><script src= "http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_render=json&_callback=pipeCallback&_id=c92ac21897d8b56e61cfa85930dd89a1&url=http%3A%2F%2FBLOGNAME.blogspot.com&num=10" type="text/javascript"></script>

(merge the last two lines and replace BLOGNAME with your blog's subdomain name).

Unexpected attribute 'url' found in 'endpoint' from file: services-config.xml

2008-01-04T15:59:00.000+05:30

HI,

I got this bug in flex2.01 when working with FlexDataService:::: Unexpected attribute 'url' found in 'endpoint' from file: services-config.xml.

and i solved the bug with the help of nodogbite

This is the instruction from him..

1) Make a backup copy of the Flex SDK 2 folder

2) Unzip the flex_sdk_2.zip that came with LiveCycle Data Services 2.5. It creates a folder flex_sdk_2 by default. Copy this folder into the Flex SDK 2 folder, and click yes to overwrite all.

3) Make a backup copy of the com.adobe.flexbuilder.flex_2.0.155577 folder that is under plugins.

4) Copy the lib folder from our updated and modified Flex SDK 2 folder into the com.adobe.flexbuilder.flex_2.0.155577 folder and select yes to overwrite all.

5) From the backup of the com.adobe.flexbuilder.flex_2.0.155577 folder that you created, copy the flex-compiler-oem.jar file into our updated and modified version of the lib directory.

Reopen Flex Builder 2.01.

BlazeDS -Server BasedJava Remoting

2007-12-29T00:02:00.000+05:30

Welcome to the BlazeDS beta release on Adobe Labs. BlazeDS is the server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology that enables developers to easily connect to back-end distributed data and push data in real-time to Adobe® Flex™ and Adobe AIR™ applications for more responsive rich Internet application (RIA) experiences.

The evolution to more engaging RIAs has created the need for better data connectivity options. Remoting simplifies the reuse of existing server logic automatically marshalling calls between the Flash client and the Java methods on the server. In addition, the use of a AMF binary data transfer format increases performance, allowing applications to load data up to 10 times faster than with text-based formats such as XML or SOAP.

Previously available only as part of Adobe LiveCycle® Data Services ES, Adobe is announcing its plans to contribute the proven BlazeDS technologies to the community under the LGPL v3. BlazeDS gives the rapidly growing Adobe developer community free access to the powerful remoting and messaging technologies developed by Adobe.

The web is more interesting when you can build apps that easily interact with your friends and colleagues. But with the trend towards more social applications also comes a growing list of site-specific APIs that developers must learn.

OpenSocial provides a common set of APIs for social applications across multiple websites. With standard JavaScript and HTML, developers can create apps that access a social network's friends and update feeds.

Many sites, one API

Common APIs mean you have less to learn to build for multiple websites. OpenSocial is currently being developed by Google in conjunction with members of the web community. The ultimate goal is for any social website to be able to implement the APIs and host 3rd party social applications. There are many websites implementing OpenSocial, including Engage.com, Friendster, hi5, Hyves, imeem, LinkedIn, MySpace, Ning, Oracle, orkut, Plaxo, Salesforce.com, Six Apart, Tianji, Viadeo, and XING.

In order for developers to get started immediately, Orkut has opened a limited sandbox that you can use to start building apps using the OpenSocial APIs.

Detecting MouseWheel in Flash8

2007-12-04T16:20:00.000+05:30

Some time we need to scroll MovieClip using MouseWheel , here it is feel free to use ..

file structure(same location)

-MouseWheel.as

-TestmouseWheel.fla

Step1: open New ActionScript class file
Paste the code below

//////////code starts
/////////////////////////////////////////////
// http://sara-intop.blogspot.com //
/////////////////////////////////////////////

//importing the required class
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class MouseWheel extends MovieClip {
/////////////////////////////////////////////
// private variables
//
private var __target:MovieClip;
private var _mouseLis:Object;
/////////////////////////////////////////////
// Constructor function
//
public function MouseWheel(target:MovieClip) {
this.__target = target;
this._mouseLis = new Object();
Initiate();
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////
// private function
//
private function Initiate():Void {
//Using Delegate Class to create listener function, to get class scope to Listener function
_mouseLis.onMouseWheel = Delegate.create(this, DetectMouse);
//adding Listener to mouse
Mouse.addListener(this._mouseLis);
}
//@Param delta contains +3 to -3 depends on the mouse wheel direction
private function DetectMouse(delta):Void {
//Detecting Mouse is over the target MovieClip
if (this.__target.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.__target._y += delta;
}
}
//DisposeListener Method to remove listener Objects
public function DisposeListener(_object:MouseWheel):Void{
Mouse.removeListener(_object._mouseLis);
delete _object._mouseLis;
}
}

//////////code ends

Note: save file as MouseWheel.as

Step2: Open New Flash document , Save as TestmouseWheel.fla

Step3: Draw any Rectangular shapes and conver them to MovieClip

Step4: Give any istance name to the MovieClip

Step5: Add the code below in first frame

//////////code starts
var testMouse:MouseWheel = new MouseWheel(_mc);
//////////code ends

Note: _mc is the instance name given in Step4

Code Expanation:

class MouseWheel extends MovieClip {

MouseWheel is the Class name should be same as file name that inherits properties and methods
from MovieClip Class

public function MouseWheel(target:MovieClip) {
this.__target = target;
this._mouseLis = new Object();
Initiate();
}

A Constructor function Will have same name as Class name and File name, will be initiated
when an Object is instatiated from the Class
Here we are passing MovieClip for which we need scroll function
Also we associate the values with the Object
Here this means respective Object of MouseWheel Class

private function Initiate():Void {
//Using Delegate Class to create listener function, to get class scope to Listener function
_mouseLis.onMouseWheel = Delegate.create(this, DetectMouse);
//adding Listener to mouse
Mouse.addListener(this._mouseLis);
}

In Initiate Method we are addListener to Mouse trough Delegate Class
We are using Delegate class to make listener function to class scope means if we dont use Delegate Class
then the this inside listener function denotes listener function itself not the MouseWheel Object

//@Param delta contains +3 to -3 depends on the mouse wheel direction
private function DetectMouse(delta):Void {
//Detecting Mouse is over the target MovieClip
if (this.__target.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.__target._y += delta;
}
}

We ar checking If Mouse position is over the MovieClip we are going to scroll

public function DisposeListener(_object:MouseWheel):Void{
Mouse.removeListener(_object._mouseLis);
delete _object._mouseLis;
}

We can Call this Method once we dont need the Listener to listen mouse wheel
in fla

var testMouse:MouseWheel = new MouseWheel(_mc2);
_btn.onRelease = function() {
testMouse.DisposeListener(testMouse);
};

Here we are disposing any listener

Fullscreen browser in Flash

2007-11-29T18:13:00.000+05:30

Here is a nice trick to make flash full screen from browser
Code here is for flash8, soon you can expect for AS3

1) Create New document save it some where in local drive

2) Create button in flash and be sure the button is selected and hit F9
Paste the below code

on (press) {
if (Stage["displayState"] == "normal") {
Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";
}else
Stage["displayState"] = "normal"
}

3) Press Shift + F12 (or) file->publish
This will create swf and html file

4) Edit html file usinh notepad; find param tags add the param tag below to the params in html and save
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/>

5) Run the html

Code Explanation:
Stage["displayState"] this holds the fullsceen or normal value of the flash player
And we simply toggling these values

Note:
This will work only if flash player 9, no problem if u have flash8 software

Install flash9_player

Adobe Flash Player -Code names

2007-11-22T15:59:00.000+05:30

Some of the interesting code names for Adobe Flash Player

MovieStar---->it includes H.264 standard video support – the same standard deployed in Blu-Ray and HD-DVD high definition video players. In other words, the quality of video has been substantially improved from the previous version of Flash Player 9. Also added to the mix is High Efficiency AAC (HE-AAC) audio support and “hardware accelerated, multi-core enhanced full screen video playback”.

FrogStar ----->That new feature is the ability for the Flash Player to cache the Flex framework on the local machine, meaning the file size of a Flex based SWF will be dramatically smaller.

Button Events in Flex2.0

2007-11-16T17:45:00.000+05:30

Create new Flex project in flex editor..select basic radio and choose next then enter project name and finish..

Wow you are in flex coding part

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Button id="button1" label="Click me" x="100" y="100" />
</mx:Application>

this is way for creating button in flex we have given

id name which is used to refer the button later in actionscript or mxml

Label is the text displayed in Button

Then x y values to position button

Handling Events

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public function launch(evt:MouseEvent):void{

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://sara-intop.blogspot.com"));

}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button id="button1" label="Click me" x="100" y="100" click="launch(event)"/>
</mx:Application>

Here we are going to write our button handler using Actionscript using mx:script tag
we are calling launch method in click event.

and navigating to url similar to getURL in flash8

Flex Basics

2007-11-16T17:32:00.000+05:30

HI,
Every body know what Adobe Flex is , if not

Flex2.0 (open_source) is a framework uses MXML language to output swf , that contains series of process.

Flex uses flexbuilder(Built using Actionscript classes) to convert
MXML ---> Actionscript ---> Bytecodes---> SWF which will be run by flash player.

Flex is used for application building. Thats for application developers.

MXML is an markup language .. and uses AS3 for handling events.

okie friends lets start learning flex2.0, its time for some basics...

Download Flex2 SDK

There is some nice video tuts for basic..gear up guys

Attach MovieClip in AS3:

2007-10-18T16:34:00.000+05:30

In Actionscript 3.0 attachMovie(); function does not exist, but there
are some ways new ways to do that...

Create a movieClip in the IDE.. (name: Star)

Open library (ctrl+L)..and click linkage..

Select Export for ActionScript..(Note: We can give Any name in the identifier that is the linkage name)

Open Actions panel

Code follows:

var mc:Star=new Star();
mc.x=100;
mc.y=100;
addChild(mc);

Where Star is the linkage name..and its important to add it in the displaylist

Embedding Font in Flash CS3(using AS3)

2007-10-18T16:08:00.000+05:30

Here is the way to embed fonts in AS3.0, and the code explanation follows

import flash.text.*;
var font:Font1=new Font1();
var txt_fmt:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
txt_fmt.font=font.fontName;
txt_fmt.size=24
var txt:TextField=new TextField();
txt.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
txt.defaultTextFormat=txt_fmt;
txt.embedFonts=true
txt.text="sara"
txt.selectable=false
addChild(txt);

Code Explanation:

Importing all the necessary classes..
import flash.text.*;

Creating new instance of the font from library..
var font:Font1=new Font1();
Here Font1 is the Linkage name given in the library

Creating TextFormat
var txt_fmt:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
txt_fmt.font=font.fontName;
txt_fmt.size=24

Note:
font is the instance name of Linkage name

Creating text field and applying the TextFormat created above
var txt:TextField=new TextField();
txt.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
txt.defaultTextFormat=txt_fmt;
txt.embedFonts=true
txt.text="sara"
txt.selectable=false

Adding the TextField to the DisplayList
addChild(txt);

Loading Library Assets from Loaded swf:

2007-10-16T19:07:00.000+05:30

To load Movieclip from library in AS3:
var Content_mc:MovieClip= new MovieClip()

where Content_mc is the linkage name similarly to load content from loaded swf

var Content_mc:Class = event.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition(”Content_mc”) as Class
var new_content_mc:MovieClip = new Content_mc() as MovieClip;
addChild(new_content_mc);

Note : place this code in Complete Event ie., after preloading

Drawing Dynamic object in flash cs3:

2007-09-05T18:32:00.000+05:30

Code:

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
var spr:Sprite=new Sprite();
spr.graphics.beginFill(0xFF00FF,1);
spr.graphics.drawRect(100,100,200,200);
spr.graphics.endFill()
spr.name="sara";
spr.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sarafun);
addChild(spr)
function sarafun(event:MouseEvent){
trace(event.target.name);
}

Explanation:

Sprite:
Derived from DisplayObject Class..
Lightweight..
Similar to movieclip but contains single frame or no timeline..

var spr:Sprite=new Sprite();

this is to create dynamic sprite..

Note:Similar to create empty movleclip

spr.graphics.beginFill(0xFF00FF,1);
spr.graphics.drawRect(100,100,200,200);
spr.graphics.endFill()

here how to create drawing objects...
Many ways like drawCircle(),drawEllipse()..,

spr.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sarafun);
here we are adding listener...to object...more like

Note:
onpress=onrelease=MouseEvent.CLICK
onmousedown=MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN
onmouseup=MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP
soon..

addChild(spr);
here we are adding sprite to the display list...

Note:there is no need to specify depth since it manages itself

Preloading in FlashCS3

2007-09-05T18:13:00.000+05:30

Started learning flash CS3..so i sharing what i learnt...
this is to preloading in cs3...

full code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var url:String='http://greetings.visualenc.com/shockwave/friends3.swf?cachebusters='+new Date().getTime();
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,loadinit);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,loading);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completes);
loader.load(new URLRequest(url))
addChild(loader)
function loadinit(event:Event){
trace("::::Started::::");
}
function loading(event:ProgressEvent) {
trace((event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal)*100);
}
function completes(event:Event){
trace("::::complete::::")
}

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

This is loading the necessary packages...for loader class and url request

var url:String='http://greetings.visualenc.com/shockwave/friends3.swf?cachebusters='+new Date().getTime();

string contains the url to be loaded..

that new Date().getTime()..is not new feature. when added to url files will not be cached...or no need to clear cache for new updated file..

var loader:Loader=new Loader();
Creating Object for loader class...Loader class is to load image and swf files into flashCS3

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,loadinit);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,loading);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completes);

Adding listeners ..similar to MovieClipLoader in flash8.

loader.load(new URLRequest(url))

loading external content into loader object via url request class...

trace((event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal)*100);

here we calculate the bytes loaded...

Google phone is coming, believe it or not

2007-08-29T10:56:00.000+05:30

People who have seen Google's prototype devices say they aren't as revolutionary as the iPhone. One was likened to a slim Nokia Corp. phone with a keyboard that slides out. Another phone format presented by Google looked more like a Treo or a BlackBerry.

It's not clear which manufacturers might build Google wireless devices, though people familiar with the project say LG Electronics Co. of South Korea is one company that has held talks with Google.

Google has already lined up a series of hardware component and software partners and signaled to carriers that it's open to various degrees of cooperation on their part, the people say.
Google has developed a prototype cell phone that could reach markets within a year, and plans to offer consumers free subscriptions by bundling advertisements with its search engine, e-mail and Web browser software applications, according to a story published today in The Wall Street Journal.

Google is showing the prototype to cell phone manufacturers and network operators as it continues to hone the technical specifications that will allow the phone to offer a better mobile Web browsing experience than current products, the story said.

The move would echo another recent product launched by a phone industry outsider, Apple Inc.’s iPhone. But Google’s product would draw its revenue from a sharply different source, relying on commercial advertising dollars instead of the sticker price of at least $499 for an iPhone and $60 per month for the AT&T service plan.

Negotiating the fairest way to split those advertising revenues with service providers could be a big hurdle for Google, one analyst said. Another problem is the potential that consumers could be scared off by the prospect of listening to advertisements before being able to make phone calls, said Jeff Kagan, a wireless and telecommunications industry analyst in Atlanta.

Spry framework for Ajax

2007-08-28T14:31:00.000+05:30

The Spry framework for Ajax is a JavaScript library for web designers that provides functionality that allows designers to build pages that provide a richer experience for their users. It is designed to bring Ajax to the web design community who can benefit from Ajax, but are not well served by other frameworks.

The Spry framework is a way to use the data capabilities that enable designers to incorporate XML, JSON or HTML data into their documents using HTML, CSS, and a minimal amount of JavaScript, without the need for refreshing the entire page. The Spry framework is HTML-centric, and easy to implement for users with basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The framework was designed such that the markup is simple and the JavaScript is minimal. The Spry framework can be used by anyone who is authoring for the web in their tool of choice.

This is the 6th pre-release of Spry. In this release, we are introducing many asked-for features in the data realm: Nested Data Sets, JSON Data Sets, HTML Data Sets, some new widgets and a reworking of Spry Effects.

This is just the start of the project. We're releasing a preview build now so that you have plenty of time to give us feedback on what's working for you, and what isn't. Your feedback and participation is important to us as we build out the framework.

Creating Dynamic Div - Display error in form validation:

2007-08-20T12:36:00.000+05:30

Sometimes we use alert user about wrong information supplied .. instead of using alert we can display information in document itself..

here is the full code and code explanation follows..

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#error
{
margin:0 auto;
background-color:#FFFFCC;
border:#FF822F 1px solid;
}
</style>
<script language="javascript">
function fun()
{
if(document.getElementById('frm1').txt1.value=="")
{
var div_element=document.getElementById('error_full');
var str_error="<div id=\"error\">Enter Valid Name:</div>";
div_element.innerHTML=str_error;
}
else{
var div_element=document.getElementById('error_full');
var str_error="<div id=\"error\">Hi "+document.getElementById('frm1').txt1.value+" !!</div>";
div_element.innerHTML=str_error;

}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="error_full"></div>
<form action="" id="frm1">
<input type="text" name="txt1"/>
<input type="button" value="Hello world!" onclick="fun();"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Code explanation

Style:
Styles can be applied using id or class, use #infront of style if we use id...and .(dot) if we use class.
Here we use id.
We supplied background color, boder information in style sheet..
<style type="text/css">

#error
{
margin:0 auto;
background-color:#FFFFCC;
border:#FF822F 1px solid;
}
</style>

HTML:
DIV with id error_full is where we create dynamic div
Form tag with textfield and button.
Button calls javascript function fun onclick..

<body>
<div id="error_full"></div>
<form action="" id="frm1">
<input type="text" name="txt1"/>
<input type="button" value="Hello world!" onclick="fun();"/>
</form>
</body>

Javascript:
getElementById('frm1') returns the element which has the id supplied as argument.
innerHTML=returns or writes the elements or text enclosed in the div

<script language="javascript">
function fun()
{
if(document.getElementById('frm1').txt1.value=="")
{
var div_element=document.getElementById('error_full');
var str_error="<div id=\"error\">Enter Valid Name:</div>";
div_element.innerHTML=str_error;
}
else{
var div_element=document.getElementById('error_full');
var str_error="<div id=\"error\">Hi "+document.getElementById('frm1').txt1.value+" !!</div>";
div_element.innerHTML=str_error;

}
}

Free ring tones for iphone

2007-07-30T15:23:00.000+05:30

Create iPhone ringtones from iTunes previews:

1. Create a new playlist. Drag unpurchased songs from the iTunes store into your playlist. The songs will retain their "Add Song" buttons and their price within the playlist.

2. Export your playlist. Select the playlist in the sources column. Control-click/Right-click the playlist name and choose Export Song List from the pop-up menu.

3. Save the playlist as plain text. Select Plain Text from the Format pop-up and save the playlist file to your desktop.

4. Open the playlist file. It is a tab-delimited file of columns, so you can open it up in Excel (my preference, make sure to option-drag the text file onto the Excel icon) or a text editor like TextEdit.

5. Locate the file URLs. Each file URL appears in the final Location column for each line. Copy the URL.

6. Download the files. In Safari 3.0, open the Downloads window (Windows->Downloads). Paste the URL into the Download window and allow the file to transfer. Your computer must be authorized to your iTunes account. You may want to try playing back the file in QuickTime Player just to be sure it downloaded correctly. If you're not a Safari 3.0 user, use your favorite alternate such as curl, wget, or so forth.

7. Rename. Give the file a more meaningful name than, for example, "mzi.rwgtaash.aac.p.m4p". Retain the .m4p extension.

8. Upload to the iPhone. Use your favorite method (iphoneinterface, sshfs, sftp, whatever) to copy the file to /Library/Ringtones on your iPhone.

9. Select the ringtone. On the iPhone, navigate to Settings -> Sound > Ringtone and select the new file. The ringtone will play back as you select it. Please note that some newer releases (including Nicole Scherzinger's Whatever U Like--thanks Drunk Dwarf) do not work as ringtones. I'm not sure why.

Congratulations, not only have you added a new 30-second custom ringtone to your iPhone, but iTunes usually picks the best 30 seconds of any song for its preview. Enjoy.

Updating and restoring iPhone software

2007-07-13T12:46:00.000+05:30

You can use iTunes to update or restore iPhone software. You should always update iPhone to use the latest software. You can also restore the software, which puts iPhone back to its factory condition.

If you choose to update, the iPhone software is updated but your settings and media are not affected.

If you choose to restore, all data is erased from iPhone, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All iPhone settings are restored to their factory condition.

To update or restore iPhone :

Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed iTunes 7.3 or later from www.apple.com/itunes. Apple recommends using the latest version of iTunes.
Connect iPhone to your computer.
In iTunes, select iPhone in the Source pane and click the Summary tab.
Click "Check for Update." iTunes tells you if there’s a newer version of the iPhone software available.
Click Update to install the latest version of the software. Or click Restore to restore iPhone to its original settings (this erases all data on iPhone). Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the restore process.
Restoring or transferring your iPhone settings
When you connect your iPhone to your computer, settings and other information on your iPhone are automatically backed up to your computer, including mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, and widget settings. You can restore this information if you need to (if you get a new iPhone, for example, and want to transfer your previous settings to it).

To restore previous iPhone settings:

Connect the iPhone to the computer you normally sync with.
In iTunes, select the Summary tab and click Restore (this erases all data on iPhone). When prompted, select the option to restore your settings.
Notes:
Some information you can sync (photos, videos, songs) are not backed up and will need to be resynced.
Passwords are not backed up and will need to be entered again.
If you restored to a different iPhone, you will need to reactivate Visual Voicemail.
Deleting backups
If you need to delete a backup from a computer, follow these steps:

Open iTunes Preferences:

Windows: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
Click iPhone (iPhone does not need to be connected).
Select the backup you want to remove and click Remove Backup.

Note: If you don't want iPhone to automatically sync, select the "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones" checkbox. For more information, see Help in iTunes.

Transfer Video to iPhone

2007-07-13T12:41:00.000+05:30

iPhone isn’t even a week old yet, and already it’s apparent that accessory manufacturers and software developers have been busy for months gearing up for the release of Apple’s cell phone. One example is software company Innovative Solutions, which today announced a software package that helps users transport movies from DVDs to the iPhone.

The software, DVD to iPhone, makes it possible to “put full length DVDs, downloaded movies and other video on the iPhone.”

DVD to iPhone is a Windows program, for XP/Vista. According to Innovative Solutions, it can handle any DVD source including pre-recorded and recordable DVDs. Also transportable: video file formats including AVI and MPEG.

Innovative Solutions also said that the software enables very speedy transfers, “with a 90 minute DVD being transferred in an average 30 minutes.”

The software lets users select from a variety of settings for aspect ration, video and sound quality, and language/subtitle options. Output is compressed to 480hx320w, “optimised for the iPhone and ready to be watched.”

If you’re among those who snatched up one of the first iPhones, you can try out the software free, www.dvdtoiphone.com. Full version is $34.95 (EUR 29.95) excluding tax.

Firefox 3 Alpha 6 now available

2007-07-11T17:09:00.000+05:30

Download links of Firefox3:

Mozilla has released the sixth alpha of Gran Paradiso, Firefox 3 development name. This release comes with a very short delay to the original schedule which is an important achievement considering Alpha 5 was delayed for about a week.

Some minor but nice updates have been added like a cleverer close dialog. In Firefox 2 when you have several tabs opened and have set it to ask for confirmation when closing multiple tabs, it doesn’t make much sense when Firefox asks for confirmation if you have set it to start with the windows and tabs from last time (in Options/General). Now, since it will start with your tabs and windows anyways it just closes. But if you haven’t set it this way it will ask if you want to save the current tabs and windows and have them available the next time it starts. A very nice improvement.

Another enhancement is the addition of a permanent Restart button to the Add-ons manager. Since almost every action in the Add-ons manager requires a restart (like installing, uninstalling, disabling, updating and changing the current theme) I find it a helpful addition.

Another improvement I am not so enthusiast about is the ability to define a keyword for search engines. As you may know, keywords are small words associated to a search engine you can use in the location bar followed by the search terms to perform a search. In the past, there was no obvious way to define new keywords and the process involved bookmarking a search results web page and manually editing the web address. Now it’s just a matter of selecting the search engine you want to add a keyword to in the Search Engine manager and press Edit Keyword…

Since you need the search bar on sight to access the Search Engine Manager and add the keywords I am not sure of how useful it will really be.

Other improvements include the addition of support for site specific preferences as previously reported and the ability to remember a web page text zoom as an example of what this new feature allows.

In the background, SQLite, the database engine that now powers the download manager and Places has been updated to the latest version. The download manager now shows download speeds in MB/s or GB/s as needed instead of KB/s only which could render hard to read numbers.

Other improvements include previously reported XPCOM Cycle Collector that will help reduce Firefox memory consumption and the ability to edit web page contents on the fly.

Current nightlies are being labeled prea7 which would suggest a seventh alpha is expected. This would push Beta 1, originally scheduled for late July, to August’s end. I don’t like delays but if a new alpha is on schedule it is more likely that not many features will be trimmed from the final Firefox 3. I’m still holding to a December Firefox 3 release estimate.

New Firefox 3 Features

2007-07-11T16:57:00.000+05:30

In today’s Firefox 3 (code name Gran Paradiso) meeting, developers released a preliminary list of requirements for Firefox 3. The new target release date is sometime in the third quarter this year.

Among the list of mandatory requirements, read, what is the most likely to be included in Firefox 3 we have:

Improved interaction with Add-ons: clearer, more coherent language; less steps to install; more visible way to configure add-ons, probably to be moved back to the general Options window, which I hope deeply; more noticeable alerts when updates are available; a permanent restart Firefox button.
Support for remote bookmarks, bookmarks and history annotation.
Files could be handled by web services. If I am reading this correctly, this could mean you would be able to click on an attached document and open it with something like Writely or Google Documents. And perhaps, as I asked Santa, the ability to redirect mailto: links to web email services.
A much needed print support to prevent cut paragraphs and true WYSIWYG.
The much requested MSI installer which will be a much welcomed improvement for IT administrators as it will ease deployment and updating of Firefox across a company.
In the security front: support for Microsoft CardSpace and OpenID (check tomorrow’s article for more coverage on this). Smarter credentials handling.
Airbag, the Google backed open source crash reporting tool will replace currently licensed TalkBack.
Among the highly desirable requirements:

A private web browsing mode. I guess this would mean no cache, history, password or entered form information storage.
Save web pages as PDF files, integrated with history. That would be just awesome.
Support pause/resume downloads across sessions.
Make Firefox help accessible only while online. Not sure how good and idea this is.
Microformats support.
Nice to have:

Unified bookmarks/history. Does this mean no Places?
Support for Windows Vista parental controls. I really hope this one goes up in the priority list. This would be the first concrete downer for Firefox when confronted with Internet Explorer 7.
Tab grouping and expose. This sounds like Internet Explorer 7 Quick Tabs or the foxPose extension.
Windows Group Policy. Another blessing for IT administrators.
Allow add-ons to be installed without rebooting Firefox.
Simplified interface to manage downloads. Can it be simpler? Maybe exposing commands currently placed in the context menu.

New 7 wonders

The Taj Mahal in Agra, India.

The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India. The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned it as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Construction began in 1632 and was completed in approximately 1648. Some dispute surrounds the question of who designed the Taj Mahal; it is clear a team of designers and craftsmen were responsible for the design, with Ustad Ahmad Lahauri considered the most likely candidate as the principal designer.

The Taj Mahal (sometimes called "the Taj") is generally considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements of Persian, Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar part of the monument, the Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures. In 1983 the Taj became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was cited as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."

The Great Wall of China.

The Great Wall of China (literally "Long wall") is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire during the rule of successive dynasties. Several walls, referred to as the Great Wall of China, were built since the 5th century BC, the most famous being the one built between 220 BC and 200 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. That wall was much further north than the current wall, built during the Ming Dynasty, and little of it remains.

The Great Wall is the world's longest human-made structure, stretching over approximately 6,400 km (4,000 miles) from Shanhai Pass in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. It is also the largest human-made structure ever built in terms of surface area and mass.

The Petra in Jordan

'''Petra''' (from "petra", rock in Greek; is an archaeological site in Jordan, lying in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. It is famous for having many stone structures carved into the rock. The long-hidden site was revealed to the Western world by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812. It was famously described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate prize-winning sonnet by John William Burgon. Burgon had not actually visited Petra; which remained accessible only to Europeans accompanied by local guides with armed escorts, until after World War I. The site was inscripted as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage Site in 1985 when it was described as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage.

Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Christ the Redeemer (Portuguese: Cristo Redentor), is a statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The statue stands 38 m (105 feet) tall, weighs 700 tons and is located at the peak of the 700-m (2296-foot) Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park at 22°57'5?S, 43°12'39?W, overlooking the city.

As well as being a potent symbol of the Roman Catholic Church, the statue has become an icon of Rio and Brazil.

The Machu Picchu in Cuzco, Peru.

Machu Picchu (IPA pronunciation: (Quechua: Machu Pikchu Old Peak; sometimes called the "Lost City") is a pre-Columbian city created by the Inca Empire. It is located at 2,430 m (7,970 ft)[2] on a mountain ridge. Machu Picchu is located above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, about 70 km (44 mi) northwest of Cusco. Forgotten for centuries by the outside world, although not by locals, it was brought back to international attention by archaeologist Hiram Bingham in 1911, who made the first scientific confirmation of the site and wrote a best-selling work about it. Peru is pursuing legal efforts to retrieve thousands of artifacts that Bingham removed from the site.

The Kukulkan Pyramid of Chichen Itza in Mexico.

Chichen Itza (from Yucatec Maya chich'en itza', "At the mouth of the well of the Itza") is a large pre-Columbian archaeological site built by the Maya civilization located in the northern center of the Yucatán Peninsula, present-day Mexico.

Chichen Itza was a major regional center in the northern Maya lowlands from the Late Classic through the Terminal Classic and into the early portion of the Early Postclassic period. The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, from what is called “Mexicanized” and reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico to the Puuc style found among the Puuc Maya of the northern lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion.

Archaeological data, such as evidence of burning at a number of important structures and architectural complexes, suggest that Chichen Itza's collapse was violent. Following the decline of Chichen Itza's hegemony, regional power in the Yucatán shifted to a new center at Mayapan.

According to the American Anthropological Association, the actual ruins of Chich'en Itza are federal property, and the site’s stewardship is maintained by Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, INAH). The land under the monuments, however, is privately-owned by the Barbachano family.

Colosseum in Rome, Italy.

The Colosseum or Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is a giant amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Originally capable of seating around 50,000 spectators, it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. It was built on a site just east of the Roman Forum, with construction starting between 70 and 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian. The amphitheatre, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire, was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further modifications being made during Domitian's reign.

The Colosseum remained in use for nearly 500 years with the last recorded games being held there as late as the 6th century — well after the traditional date of the fall of Rome in 476. As well as the traditional gladiatorial games, many other public spectacles were held there, such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building eventually ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such varied purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry and a Christian shrine.

Although it is now in a severely ruined condition due to damage caused by earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum has long been seen as an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome and is one of the finest surviving examples of Roman architecture. It is one of modern Rome's most popular tourist attractions and still has close connections with the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession to the amphitheatre each Good Friday.
