Coding : noScale

One thing if you used to worked with Emulator, you can test your application to many handset available on Flash 8 Mobile Emulator.Its equiped with different device profiles. Most Nokia have 176 * 208 (3230,6260,6620,6630,6670,6680 etc), but Nokia N-90 has 352 * 416.So it will be a problem if we like to test out on N-90.It will be scalling up and looking bad.

So if you want to support both device we'll have to use

Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"


or you can trace it size with

trace ( _root._xscale);
trace ( _root._yscale);
trace (Stage.width);
trace (Stage.height);

and you can set the display location by Stage.align = "TL", it will moves the swf to the top left corner.

Stclaus1 post on FLash Lite grups with his opinion ; "The second solution is to leave stage as is (Stage.scaleMode = showAll) with no content change. But there is problem of the final
output which will be displayed on N90 handset and its distortion.
I am using only dynamic textfield and device font."
While Richard give a simple and powerfull FLA file to test this issues. You can download here.

Handset :Adjust Memory Usage on Device Emulator

When we develop application to Flash Lite 1.x, we should consider the file size of it.Emulator would do his job to give us warning when we forgot about this.It just like when we design website on 90's :D
But Flash Lite 2.0 now become more potential to create bigger application or game.With Flash 8 we can adjust adjust memory usage on device emulator.Just go to ;

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Mobile\Devices

We can tweak the config of XML file.For example Nokia 6680 is set to 1024 (1 Mega),so you can pumped it up to 2 Mega.And your application would work great both in Emulator and Phone.

Embedding Flash Lite in Mobile Pages

For some reason, my friend trying to publish our swf file to mini wap site.And it take XHTML tags to apply it.Well, im not kind of familiar for coding with wap site.

So i go through googgle to find help.It took me to Richard page.Nice tips of using Dreamweaver 8 to embedded flash file to specific type. It have capability to set page into XHTML mobile1.0.
And here are the tag ;
Richard say : that this doesn't work on all phones, only phones with the Flash player integrated as the plug-in, such as most Japanese i-mode handsets and according to the Nokia emulator at least, the new wave of Series 60 (ed 3) phones soon to be released. On our developer installs this still prompts us to click the Flash movie to open it.

Application : Styleable LineChart Component for FlashLite 2.0

Peter Baird, a user experience consultant from Adobe created a line chart class that can be used in your Flash Lite 2.0 app.

Simply import the class, instantiate it, and assign an array of data to it, and ta-da, you’ve got a line chart in your app.

A chart can be added to your FlashLite app with just a little code, as shown, where "myData" as an array of numbers of any length:

import com.adobe.charts.lineChart;
var myLineChart:lineChart = new lineChart();
myLineChart.chartData = myData;
myLineChart.drawChart();

including a sample fla that uses the class, and shows all the available style properties that can be customized.

Web : Wanna try Flash Lite in Indonesia Handset?

I found interesting news regarding Flash Lite in Indonesia.How can we try those application in here?

So here it is....Sony Ericcson just released w900i to Indonesia.And the great thing is...there is Flash Lite embedded on this walkman phone series.They said Macromedia Flash Lite™ use for wallpaper, animation, menu and other impresive graphics element.

Well....when i check the price, it cost Rp. 6,200,000 :((...still to expensive for me.....

Training Day 2

On the next day, I set up Flash MX 2004 to my computer's friend.
As Macromedia say, Flash Lite 1.x can only available to Flash MX 2004 and higher.

My friend told me she has installed Flash MX 2004 to her computer, then the problem appears.She can not find Flash Lite 1.1 on publish Flash option.
So anytime she publish the swf file, error message always shown.
"You should publish it to Flash 5 etc..."

When i checked the software,I found Flash MX 2004 Professional version 4.0.So i uninstalled it, and install to the machine with new version (ver. 7.2), and its works.

The only problem if we use some action scripts is, it need Flash Lite 1.1 to published.I dont find any problem when I developed a simpe wallpaper without any script embedded.

And what more interesting if we develop Flash Lite with Flash 8 is, we can find any devices to be tested.More complete action script help on panel, and also new features on publish option. There is Flash Lite 2.0 on it.

So my suggestion is....upgrade to Flash 8 to get more powerful support.Of course it need more space on your hardisk, and if you have computer with Windows 2000, you need to check Service Pack.It need Service Pack 4 to run.Or if you use Windows XP, you need to make sure your machine is using Service Pack 2.

Training Day 1

Its been pleasure for giving training to my friend.
She used to work with FlashMX 2004, now after some theory of Flashlite, she just can say "such a simple script to create great application" :D

We do have a good news from our partent.They planning to sell some wallpaper with Flashlite environment.So they asking me to find new partner to do so.

Our first application is wallpaper running on Flashlite 1.x.Then other projects come.

Cant wait to produce new application.

Where can i find tutorial and some sample programs?

-http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/devices/ -http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?view=sn310 -http://www.flashmobileforum.org/node/13

And vickymustdie on flash lite groups give more note about this :

Very first thing you need is Macromedia FLASHLITE Player
installed on your handset and also whether your Handset supports
Flash files or not. For which you need to check out the listing of
Macromedia Flashlite supported handsets
http://www.macromedia.com/mobile/supported_devices/handsets.html.

From the link, you have to confirm..

1) Whether your handset supports Flashlite Software from Macromedia.

2) If yes, which version of Flashlite is supported either Flashlite
1.0 or Flashlite 1.1.

3) Also need to verify the Supported Operators, ie. in case of you
downloading the files from online (and not from PC to Mobile using
Cable, Bluetooth etc.). Basically its GSM Handsets works all over
the world. But in the country like JAPAN, it supports NTTDocomo
Operators.

4) If all the above points turns positive for you, then you need to
go for Flashlite Player, which is free with some website or trial
packed, you need to buy it from Macromedia website :
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/store/index.cfm?store=OLS-
US&STOREREGION=us#loc=en_us&view=ols_prod&store=OLS-
US&category=/Software/Development/StandAlones/FlashLite&STOREREGION=u
s


5) Some Handsets comes with preinstalled Flashlite Player.

Making an Animation:

While making an animation for the mobile phones, you must take care
of file size and the size of the movie. The file size should not be
too high which will take down your handset memory while accessing
the flash applications. It will slow down your handset. The size of
the movie(screen) differs from handset to handset. In my case, i'll
take the movie size as "176 x 208" (Nokia 3230).

You'll need Flash 8 Professional Software for the animation (As it
includes Flash Lite emulator which lets you preview your content as
it will function on an handset. You must also take care of the
following rules for the production.

*** FLASH 4 SCRIPT
Flash Lite supports the Flash Player 4 version of the ActionScript
language for the Flashlite Applications. And so most of the Flash 8
commands and syntax are not supported with Flashlite.

*** FLASHLITE KEYS
Flash Lite supports the following keys on mobile devices:
Softkeys
Five-way keypad keys (Up, Down, Left, Right, and Select)
Left and Right soft keys
0-9, *, and # keys

*** KEY HANDLING
Assigning Key Handling to the Keypad Keys (eg.For "ENTER", you'll
press the Left/Right arrow key on your handset 's keypad.

*** TEXT
Flashlite supports all 3 text options. "STATIC", "DYNAMIC"
and "INPUT".
Using fonts available in device.
Rendering text.

*** SOUND
Flash Lite supports MIDI and MFi device audio formats as well as
native Flash sound compressed with PCM (or WAV), ADPCM, or MP3 audio
compression.
Event and Stream Sound.
Flash Lite does not support the Effect, Sync, and Edit options for
device sounds.

*** MOTION
For the Animation, Flashlite supports Vector quality at Low, Medium
and High Level.
Handset CPU Power Limitations for BITMAP and VECTOR images. Image
Compression.

You can learn more of Flashlite Development from Macromedia
Website : www.macromedia.com/software/flashlite/

Following this rules will help you make applications/games for
mobile devices.

Finally...

You need an installer in order to convert your .SWF files to .SIS
format (Supported by all the major handsets).
You can do that by using Softwares like SWF2SIS and MAKESIS.You can
download SWF2SIS software from http://www.blueskynorth.com/swf2sis/
and MAKESIS software from
http://www.symbian.com/developer/downloads/tools.html#makesis

After conversion of your file from .SWF to .SIS, you need to upload
your file online and then can download it from your Handset using
GPRS. Or You can either transfer it from PC to MOBILE using Data
Cable / Infrared / Bluetooth.

Web:DoCoMo starts to sell 3G FOMA mobile phones with Windows Mobile 5 OS

Last week I heard news from my friend in Japan about Japan's operator that they no longer market their handset with their own OS.It start this year on 2006.I didnt think that would be problem for Flash lite developer so far....until....

I just read this article :
DoCoMo quits FlashLite to sell Windows OS phones



I really want to know what will happen next. On Dec '05, i still have possibilities to develope some wallpaper in Flash lite environmnet. I hope Windows Mobile 5 OS be equipped with Flash lite just like some operators in Japan does.

Which handsets are certified to support Flash Lite 2?

Today's supported handsets include:

• Nokia 3230
• Nokia 6260
• Nokia 6620
• Nokia 6630
• Nokia 6670
• Nokia 6680
• Nokia 6681
• Nokia 6682
• Nokia 7610
• Nokia N70
• Nokia N90

Check back often for updates, as we continue to certify new devices. See the detailed list of Flash Lite supported devices.

What Is Flash Lite?

Flash Lite is the Flash technology specifically developed for mobile phones and consumer electronics devices. Flash Lite dramatically accelerates the delivery of rich content and browsing, and customized user interfaces. Designers and developers now have a new level of expressiveness, efficiency and interactivity for content creation.

Flash Lite has seen explosive adoption by OEMs, operators and developers in Japan and Asia, and is quickly growing worldwide. This growth is driven by the mature Flash authoring environment and rendering engine that delivers enhanced content and browsing, customized UI & a rich mobile experience across devices.

Coding : Best Practice for Key Detection in Flash Lite 2

Tips using key Detection from luar Using Button

In Flash Lite 1.1, if we want to detect a key press (single press or continuous press), we need to attach the code to a button:

keyPress “”{
no += 1;
}

In Flash Lite 2, we can use back modern ActionScript, use Movie Clip or Object to do the key detection, for example:

Using Movie Clip as Key Listener

mc.onKeyDown = function(){
switch(Key.getCode()) {
case Key.UP :
no += 1;
break;
}
};
Key.addListener(mc);
Using Object as Key Listener
obj = new Object();
obj.onKeyDown = function(){
switch(Key.getCode()){
case Key.UP:
no += 1;
break;
}
}
Key.addListener(obj);

However, using key listener has a side effect, you cannot detect continuous key press (press the key without release). If you want to detect continuous key press, you need to use an

MovieClip.onEnterFrame:

mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
no += 1;
}
};
//Key.addListener(obj);

By the way, I find the Flash Lite 2 emulator is even worse than Flash Lite 1.1 emulator because the latter one support pressing keyboard for testing (single press or continuous press), no need to use the mouse to click the phone button.

Here is the summary of the above testing:

Continuous Pressing Detecting Method	Press without Release in Handset	Press phone button without Release		Press the key in the PC keyboard without Release
		FL 1.1 Emulator	FL 2 Emulator	FL 1.1 Emulator	FL 2 Emulator
Button	Support (Slower)	Not Support	Not Support	Support	Not Support
Object	Not Support	N/A	Not Support	N/A	Not Support
Movie Clip	Not Support	N/A	Not Support	N/A	Not Support
Movie Clip onEnterFrame	Support (Faster)	N/A	Support	N/A	Not Support

Flash Lite 1.1 and 2.0 installation conflict

Alessandro posted on the Yahoo Flash Lite User Group to install Flash Lite 2.0 on a phone which had already Flash Lite 1.1 installed.

A workaround could be the following (I did not try but thoretically should work):

1. Unsis one of the players on your PC
2. create a pkg file
3. replace the UID with another one and make any necessary changes to file names)
4. create a SIS using makesis
5. try to install

Coding : Creating Trials for Flash Lite Apps (Part II)

Another tips from Richard Leggett in creating a 10 day trial Flash Lite application.

In Flash Lite 2.0, we can do this with Local Shared Objects, this is also great to keep the information from prying eyes as you have to know where to look for the SO's in order to try and crack them, the down side is that a little bit of digging a while back showed they look fairly similar (if not the same) as desktop Flash Player SO's and therefore there are already tools available to read them. Either way, they are a boon to Flash Lite development for many other reasons.

However, we aren't able to use SO's in Flash Lite 1.1, so we are going to use a very simple EXE bundled with the app to write to and update a text file, "config.dat".

The first step is to create a new Flash Lite 1.1 FLA, and create a sub-folder in it's directory called "config". Into this we put our EXE, Christian Halbach's flash2file (for which the source is available), and a plain text file named config.dat, which contains the following text:

uses=295

You might think that it's strange to set the number of uses to 295 to start, but this is because we are piping that number through a formula to figure out the real number:

Figure to store = 300 - (3n^2 + 5)

Where n is equal to the number of uses so far. So with that in mind, we can visualise a table to suit:

Number of uses:	Figure to store:
0	295
1	292
2	283
3	268
4	247
5	220
6	287
7	148
8	103
9	52

Now that we can "hide" our number of uses in a not so obvious manner, we can go about hooking up our Flash Lite app with flash2file to read and write this value. On frame 1 I have the following code:

fscommand2("SetQuality", "high");

// Load in number of uses so far
uses = -1;
loadVariables("config.dat", "/");

On frame 2 the following:

// Loop until number of uses has loaded
if(uses != -1)
{
// Convert figure to useable value
// i.e. find x where x = 300 - (3n^2 + 5)
numUses = 300 - uses;
numUses = (numUses-5)/3;
numUses = (numUses==0) ? 0 : int(Math.sqrt(numUses));

// Display usage information
gotoAndStop(5);
}
else gotoAndStop(2);

...and finally on frame 5:

// Display number of uses
usesTxt = numUses add " uses so far";
if(numUses>=9) usesTxt = "Demo expired";

// Path to flash2file.exe
appname = "c:/documents/flash/flash2file.exe";

// Path to the file to write to
path = "c:/documents/flash/config.dat";

// Update numUses
numUses++;
uses = 300 - ((numUses*numUses)*3 + 5);

// Text to write to file
txt = "uses=" add uses;

// Update number of uses to text file
argument = appname add "," add path add "," add txt;
fscommand("Launch", argument);

As you've probably guessed, I've got a textfield with a variable name of "usesTxt", and not much else apart from the code. That's it. Now you could either exit the app, or display a nag if numUses is >= your desired figure.

Now we are ready to copy it all to the phone in order to allow flash2file to do its job... So our directory structure that we will mirror on the phone is as such:

- 10daytrial.swf
- config.dat
- flash2file.exe

Finally, copy the SWF and config folder to the phone's c:\documents\flash\ folder, and test the SWF. Ideally you would package this up as a SIS installer and get it to install to a non-public folder to better hide your config file.

You can download the finished project here - I have not included flash2file.exe as Christian has requested that you contact him for the latest version.

Summary:

This method is inherently insecure. The reason for this is that we are using some incredibly weak protection, simply using ord() and chr() to mask the number of uses is not really acceptable, but even if you did take the time to port md5 to Flash Lite 1.1 the SWF is still accessible, decompilable and crackable. There is nothing we can do about this, it happens on the web all the time. On the web we like to let the server deal with the security. On a phone we can do the same, but that might annoy the end user, so instead we need to look forward to some DRM integration and standardisation across the handset manufacturers in order for Flash Lite to leverage this functionality. One plus point is that mobile content is dirt cheap, it has to be; and it is therefore not usually worth the time it takes to crack even the simplest form of protection we might employ. The ringtones and mobile downloads industry is still booming even though people are able to bluetooth items for free.

Note if you are using the Flash Lite 2.0 player:

If using the FL2.0 player you will need to change the paths to c:\Nokia\Others or e:\Others for the Flash Lite player to pick up your SWF and for the app to function correctly.

Nokia 6125 With FlashLite on Sale

As its report on Nokia, they launched 6125 with with Flash Lite pre-installed.

And because mobile phones are about so much more than making calls, you can set it to flight mode and use the calendar, music player, or games while you're in the air.

Bad news is, they only sell it on Europe, Middle East, Africa :(

Coding : To Center Loaded Image Tips

We have to wait until the image is fully loaded before you can get it's dimensions, (so that is the onLoad handler in Flash Lite 2, with Flash Lite 1.1 you'll have to embed the image in a swf and use the _framesloaded and _totalframes to check if it is fully loaded). With that done you can access the _width and _height and use:

my_mc._x = Stage.width/2 - my_mc._width/2;

my_mc._y = Stage.height/2 - my_mc._height/2

Coding:Creating Trials for Flash Lite Apps

This is Richard Legger answer for David Williams question on the Flash Lite Yahoo Group asks, how do I make time limited trials in Flash Lite 1.1?

There are a few options to consider:

• Time out after a few minutes each time.
• Time out after X days and never run again.
• Lose functionality after X days or weeks.

Unfortunately it is getting late and I have work to do, so I've only got time to cover the first in that list, but I'm still writing my book on Flash Lite which is due March, and that will have detailed instructions and samples for each - end plug.

So the code for the first example is very simple, and I've included an FLA which contains a movie clip in the library that you can simply drag into your game or app to make sure it exits 3 minutes after starting up.

First up, create a new Flash document using a mobile template, and create a new movie clip, called "TrialMaker". Edit that movie clip and type the following code on frame 1:

timeout = 180;
startTime = getTimer();

Next up, create a keyframe on frame 10, and add the following:

if(getTimer()-startTime > timeout*1000)
{
fscommand("quit");
}

gotoAndPlay(2);

I chose frame 10, as this creates an automatic loop, a loop that doesn't execute code all that often thus having a negligable impact on your game execution speed whilst remaining fairly accurate (which we all know is essential for Flash Lite games). You can modify the value of timeout to any number of seconds you wish, I chose 3 minutes at Davids request.

Download FLA.

If you are lucky enough to be using Flash Lite 2, you can simply add the following code to frame 1:

setInterval(function() { fscommand("quit"); }, 180000);

Set Numeric Input

This is one trick to set up our form variable into numeric.

The fscommand2 is SetInputTextType, and it works on 6620.

You have to be sure that "variableName" matches the variable that you've
assigned to the text field, e.g. if your text field property has the
"Var:" property set to input1, you should use

fscommand2("SetInputTextType", "input1", "Numeric");

Flash2File.exe

For people who don't want to compile the project, but need the .exe:
Here it is.
It can be packaged with the flash files into one .sis.

Button Skema

Using Button
In Flash Lite 1.1, if we want to detect a key press (single press or continuous press), we need to attach the code to a button:

on (keyPress "") {
no += 1;
}

In Flash Lite 2, we can use back modern ActionScript, use Movie Clip or Object to do the key detection, for example:

Using Movie Clip as Key Listener

mc.onKeyDown = function() {
switch (Key.getCode()) {
case Key.UP :
no += 1;
break;
}
};
Key.addListener(mc);

Using Object as Key Listener

obj = new Object();
obj.onKeyDown = function() {
switch (Key.getCode()) {
case Key.UP :
no += 1;
break;
}
};
Key.addListener(obj);

However, using key listener has a side effect, you cannot detect continuous key press (press the key without release). If you want to detect continuous key press, you need to use an MovieClip.onEnterFrame:

mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
no += 1;
}
};
// Key.addListener(obj);

By the way, I find the Flash Lite 2 emulator is even worse than Flash Lite 1.1 emulator because the latter one support pressing keyboard for testing (single press or continuous press), no need to use the mouse to click the phone button.

Remote S60

Buat yang sering melakukan presentasi, ada baiknya ada mengecek yang satu ini.

Remote S60.

Alat ini memiliki kemampuan untuk melakukan remote terhadap perangkat telepon genggam, misalnya dari Nokia 3650 atau 7650 hanya dari desktop PC.Artinya untuk melalukan navigasi ke HP kita, cukup gunakan keyboard dari PC.Kebayang kan kalo kita suatu saat perlu memperlihatkan aplikasi di HP kita kepada audience.Atau tak usah jauh-jauh lah, misalnya kita perlu kirim sms panjang, atau perlu kirim MMS, tangan kita akan lebih mudah menyiapkannya dengan keyboard di PC.

Remote S60 sangat berguna untuk:

• mengatur dengan mudah Nokia 3650/7650
  (misalnya add/edit contacts, bookmarks; configure settings, dll.)
• menulis dan mengirim pesan SMS
• membaca/mengirim email dari 3650/7650 di PC
• melakukan pemanggilan/menerima telepon dari PC
• mengambil screenshots atau merekam video AVI
• melakukan pelatihan atau presentasi aplikasi di Nokia 3650/7650 via sorotan
• Melihat tampilan kamera dari PC.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aplikasi lain yang dapat digunakan untuk keperluan serupa adalah : ImageExpo ,dari Sysopendigia.
Bedanya aplikasi ini menggunakan Internet (TCP/IP), Bluetooth or USB untuk berkomunikasi dengan perangkat HP.

FriendlyGhost

Ada postingan baru dari Faizal mengenai software untuk debugging yang dirilis Orison Technology
yang bernama : FriendlyGhost.

Menariknya software ini memiliki kemampuan untuk debugging untuk Flashlite.

• Mendukung Flashlite versi 1.0 dan 1.1.
• Aplikasi debugging real time.
• Berkemampuan melakukan debugging baik melalui emulator dan juga di lingkungan produksi.

Berikut beberapa screenshoot dari aplikasi tersebut.

Nokia Akan Dirikan Pusat Teknologi di Bandung

Nokia mengatakan akan berinvestasi di Indonesia pada semester pertama tahun 2006. Investasi itu berupa pembangunan laboratorium teknologi bernama Nokia Technology Center (NTC) di Bandung.

Hal itu disampaikan oleh Presiden Direktur Nokia untuk jaringan di Indonesia, Marko Kytoharju, di Hotel Grand Hyatt Jakarta, Rabu (23/11/2005). "Investasi ini sebagai bentuk kontribusi kami kepada Indonesia yang telah memberikan banyak manfaat," ujarnya.

Laboratorium yang direncanakan berlokasi di Bandung itu akan fokus pada pengembangan jaringan. Hingga saat ini, ujar Marko, investasi itu belum dimulai.

Hal itu, lanjutnya, masih dalam tahap persiapan. Termasuk mencari lokasi dan menyiapkan segala fasilitasnya.

Meski demikian, Marko mengaku sudah membicarakan hal itu pada pemerintah. "Saya sudah beritahu menteri selaku regulator dan responnya positif," imbuhnya tanpa mau menyebutkan siapa menteri yang diajak bicara.

Soal berapa besar investasi, Marko juga tutup mulut. "Pokoknya signifikan," ujarnya singkat.

NTC antara lain akan mengembangkan sistem dan teknologi untuk jaringan 2G, 3G dan teknologi lain yang akan datang. Kemudian, NTC juga diperuntukkan sebagai pusat pengembangan kompetensi dan transfer teknologi untuk konsumen, pegawai, dan mitra lokal Nokia.

Nokia juga tak menutup kemungkinan bagi penyedia konten lokal untuk berkolaborasi bersama melakukan uji coba aplikasi dan konten dengan jaringan Nokia. Selain itu, universitas lokal juga akan digandeng untuk program riset dan pengembangan jaringan.

Meski sudah merancang Nokia Technology Center, Nokia mengaku belum mempertimbangkan Indonesia sebagai target untuk mendirikan pabrik Nokia. Hal itu dikarenakan iklim politik, keamanan, dan ekonomi di Indonesia dianggap belum memungkinkan. (sumber:detik.com)

Grapari Telkomsel Dago

Bagi para pengguna provider Telkomsel di sekitar Dago, ada Grapari terkini di Jln Dago, tepatnya 100 meter diatas simpang dago.Dikunjungi tadi secara tidak sengaja, Grapari ini belum resmi di launch, jadi untuk penggunaan skarang-skarang ini dijamin belum ada antrian.

Bahkan papan petunjuk antrian pun belum aktif.Belum ada kartu yang disediakan apabila ingin mengambil urutan.Tersedia 3 meja layanan untuk pelanggan, dan satu meja kasir.Tampak kompak untuk ruangan seluas kira-kira 20 meter persegi
.
Atau kalo ingin gampang cari sih, liat aja BTS yang paling deket diatas simpang, disitulah tempatnya.

Alternatif kan, kalo misalnya grapari di A Yani atau di BEC penuh.

Analog clock with flash lite 1.1

Sebenernya ini seperti halnya jam analog lain di flash, hanya saja untuk visualisasinya menggunakan jam omega sebenarnya, jadi poto jamnya di trace terlebih dahulu untuk memisahkan bagian jarum jam dengan tempatnya.

Ada 3 jarum yang dipisahkan, detik, menit dan jam.sedang 3 jarum lain yang lebih kecil diabaikan karena tidak ada parameter yang diperlukan.

Setelah masing2 jarum dibuat vektor, kita beri nama masing-masing moviclip sebagai detik, menit, dan jam....dan tentu set property :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
setProperty ("/detik", _rotation, seconds * 360 / 60);
setProperty ("/menit", _rotation, (minutes + seconds / 60) * 360 / 60);
setProperty ("/jam", _rotation, (hours + minutes / 60) * 360 / 12);

//
// Ada bug dengan system _rotation No.108579->http://lyris.macromedia.com/read/messages?id=153446

setProperty ("/detik", _xscale, 100);
setProperty ("/detik", _yscale, 100);
setProperty ("/menit", _xscale, 100);
setProperty ("/menit", _yscale, 100);
setProperty ("/jam", _xscale, 100);
setProperty ("/jam", _yscale, 100);

Service Pack 2 di Windows 2000 pro

Ada 2 Cd yang mesti dibeli pagi ini.Masing-masing Cd material untuk 3DMax, dan satu lagi Flashlite.

Bisa bilang apa kalo yang didapat ternyata bukan keduanya.

Justru 3DMax 6 dan juga FLash 8 yang masuk ke kantong.
Itu juga hasil rekomendasi dari yang jaga toko di Borma setiabudi.
So...kita coba instal.

Pertama sih berjalan normal..hingga ahirnya....

your computer need service pack 3 or higher to finish instalation.

abis itu...klik button dan balik lagi ke desktop.

Yah....gagal!

coba kita upgrade windows 2000 profesionalnya.

di halaman updatenya windows tersedia...tapi lama downloadnya...bisa2 ampe sore nih....kalo gitu kita mesti cari cd update service pack lagi di ketapang CD

"oh ada mas....kita ada sp3 sama sp4 yang terbaru"jawabnya disana.

Balik lagi kesana.

Dapet!...satu cd berisi exe untuk service pack 3

balik....dan instal....berhasil!

ternyata untuk program grafis yang terbaru, bukan hanya di windows 2000 saja yang memerlukan service terkini, namun juga di Windows XP misalnya, untuk flash membutuhkan service 2....yang terkini.

Setting IP Baru di RedHat

Permasalahan di kabel ethernet masih terulang.Kali ini yang berasal dari radio masih tampak rentan getaran.Lebih sering lampu petunjuknya mati daripada kelap-kelip sebagai tanda normal.

Rencana pertama : GANTI KABEL.
Hasil : Masih sama, lampu petunjuk belum berubah normal.

Rencana kedua : GANTI ETHERNET CARD
Hasil : Ethernet pengganti di rooter lama masih normal meski dicolok ke kabel dari radio.Tapi....tunggu dulu....ada rencana lebih mudah;

Rencana ketiga : GANTI ROOTER
Hasil : Tinggal dicolokan kabel dari radio, lalu ganti IPnya dengan menggunakan perintah

ifconfig eth1 202.***.***.*** netmask 255.***.***.*** broadcast 202.***.***.***
route add default gw 202.***.***.***

beres....

>>\selamat HARI RAYA IED 1426 H/<<

>>Taqabalallahu minna waminkum,shiamana wa shiamakum<<

Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1426 H.
Mohon maaf lahir dan batin.

Nyuwun pangapunten, mugi ALLAH SWT nampi ibadah kita, amien.

Mikrotik dan Redhat

Panik!

Itu yang terjadi sore ini....
Begitu rooter tersambung dengan radio, dan login dengan user dan password yang telah ditentukan, ternyata koneksi masih belum tersambung.Bisa rugi nih kalo dissconnect terus padahal trial sudah dimulai dua hari ini.

"Konfigurasi IP-nya bener kan?" tanyaku ke 7333633.
"Coba deh liatin IPnya disitu",jawabnya.
Dicoba...

[wins@WINS]ifconfig
no such command or directory missing

Ups..kami juga ga menduga bakalan mendapatkan reaksi seperti ini.

Begitu juga saat mengetikan
[wins@WINS]su -
no such command or directory missing

tambah kaget!

buru-buru berinisiatif mengembalikan rooternya saat itu juga meski jarum jam sudah menunjukan angka 8 malam lebih.tapi daripada nunggu besok-besok kan...

dan disitulah permasalahannya ketemu.

rooter ini tidak lagi menggunakan redhat 7.2 sebagai OSnya.namun Mikrotik rooter OS v2.7.14.

untuk cek IP dengan perintah sederhana di redhat, disini terbilang repot.

[wins@WINS]ip address
[wins@WINS] ip address> print

woala..keluar....

terus bagaimana kalo mau keluar dr mesin?
biasanya command exit cukup, tapi disini harus naik satu direktori..

[wins@WINS]ip address>/
[wins@WINS]quit

beres.

repot juga ya buat pemula

Pindahan Kantor

How to Get Under 80 Kilos

Ini bukan iklan penurun berat badan.

Selalu saja setelah dipublish angkanya masih menunjukan ke 90 hingga 100an.Harus dibawah 80, pesen Nyonya.
Jadilah dotnya dikorbankan.
Untuk Full Level, hanya disertakan tiga dot ditiap movieclipnya.
Sedang Medium dan Low masih boleh berbangga dengan 12 lebih dot.

Sehari kemudian ditemukan tipsnya.
1. Kurangi sedikit mungkin frame disetiap MovieClipnya.Terlebih untuk animasi yang menuntut perlambatan.Biasanya disini kita langsung memperbanyak frame.
2. Ganti Symbol dengan beberapa vektor yang di Group untuk Tweening.
3. Ini bisa namun tidak berlaku untuk dicoba ke handset : Menggunakan Object Property semisal color untuk menduplikasi MovieClip.Untuk Emulator sendiri dipastikan tidak ada masalah.(Mungkin karena previewnya masih menggunakan PC juga).

Pokoknya....nanti minggu depan kita tidak banyak menggunakan vektor lagi, ada beberapa gambar di filmnya Mr and Mrs. Smith yang akan digarap di FlashLite.Tentu saja setelah dot ini selesai kan?

Buka Bareng Anak Q

Ada satu orang yang demen kalo ngumpulin anak2 Q angkatan pertama.Dari dulu sampe...sabtu ini.

Paginya sms masuk kenomerku :
Guse,bubarnya jadi.Ditunggu di Q jam 4.

Langsung kuajak istri untuk siap2 sore nanti bawa kaka.Eh siang ini juga ada janji dengan Pak agam dari BOLEH.NET untuk ketemu di kantor.Kalo jadwalnya pas, hari ini bisa dapetin dua-duanya.

Sudah hampir jam 2, Pak Agamnya masih terjebak macet di jl. Merdeka.Hari sabtu gini pasti bakalan merepotkan untuk bepergian.Sudah menjelang lebaran ini semua pusat perbelanjaan rame.Pembeli berjubel.Lihat demikian istriku menggerutu, BBM naik tetep aja belanja jalan terus.Tapi gara2 inilah tempat kerja istriku tetep berbisnis kan ;).

Setelah melalui beberapa kali sms, Pak Agam dan rombongannya pun tiba.Ada Bu Nia dan beberapa SPG ikut serta.Wah rombongan nih.Apalagi SPGnya menggunakan kaos dengan kata "BOLEH" tepat di dadanya :D.

Ada beberapa hal yang akan diteruskan setelah perbicangan ini.Namun konsentrasinya sedikit bergeser ke jam 4, saat jemput istri untuk siap2 ke Q.

Jam 4.50 sore kita sudah tiba di Q.Gepeng tampak sudah standby di pos jaga.Dah lama ga ketemu ya....

Sorenya berurutan ada Acon,Ocha,Inge,Aris..dan tentu si Bos...Alpi.
Hore....jadi kita ke LAOS ya!

GetLevelBattery

Pertama kali diminta untuk mengecek kondisi battery dengan menggunakan Flash, pikiran langsung bertanya, buat apa? bukannya PC menggunakan listrik AC untuk mensupport dayanya.Buru-buru nyari scriptnya di Google juga boro-boro dapet.

Tapi begitu tahu kegunannya untuk aplikasi Docomo di Jepang sono, pikiran baru ngeh..ohh..buat cek battery di HP,,,ngobrol to :D.

Dan ga lama, emulator buat check file swf untuk Flashlite sudah terinstall di PC.
Dengan mnggunakan perintah (baru) FSCommand2 (bukan sekedar FSCommand biasanya).Ini script baru yang diperkenalkan macromedia untuk kondisi tertentu.Misalnya cek kondisi battery, signal, volume dst.

batteryLevel = fscommand2("GetBatteryLevel");
maxBatteryLevel = fscommand2("GetMaxBatteryLevel");
if(1==batteryLevel)
{

trace("Jangan lupa dicharge. Battery mau abis 1 menit lagi!");

}

ayo teruskan belajarnya....kita hanya punya waktu 5 hari lagi!

Marketing Yourself: Tiara Lestari Story

From Hermawan Kertajaya site :

I was interviewed this morning by Firman Yursak from Matra, a magazine for The Metrosexuals. He was interested to talk with me about why more and more people are going ‘naked’ today in an open society. Think about blogosphere for example. Firman Also asked me why I want to share my personal diary on the internet through weblog.

I told him the reason I want to have a blog for myself is because to strengthening my positioning as well as to market-ing myself. I consider blog as a vehicle which can drive marketing activities of Hermawan Kartajaya brand. I also told Firman that everyone is a brand. He, himself is a brand. Madonna is a brand. Hitler is a brand. Agus is a brand. and so on.

Anyways, the very simple reason for me to go into this blogosphere is only to express my feeling, share my opinion about what I see during my journeys. I see this as the perfect medium for me to do so.

Having said that, of course, I also need to keep relevant as the marketing guy. I mean, I can’t just go on sharing my feelings with you all without giving you any ‘marketing aspects.’ That can harm my reputation as the ‘bad guy in marketing.’

Some people go and create their personal blogsite for PR reason. I also see more and more corporations go blogging for that reason. Marketers even go blogging to do customer insight.

Last June, I read an article on Asian WallStreet Journal about how marketers scan blogs for customer insight.

minivan maker knows that little kids love minivan, but teenager love SUVs more.

Camera and film maker found out that consumers want long-lasting photos.

They all got such insight from blogosphere.

Some people also say that Blogs is so powerful as it has reforming information. BLOGS=Information Reformation. The news, stories, headlines, information you get through all these years are basically from media corporations who has their own idealism. Why blogs have change all these is simply because individuals nowadays got their chance to participate.

I was told by the guy from Matra about Tiara Lestari. A Solo-born model, based in Singapore who has now gone international. After years modeling, she found her ‘ultimate bliss’ by being covered in Playboy Netherland and Penthouse in Spain and Thailand. She’s now one of the leading model in Indonesia. And controversial too perhaps. I guess you know it well why.

Tiara herself just published her weblog site with more-or-less the same reason why I chose to create my weblog. She told “I wanted a medium where I can voice my opinion and share my feelings.. I have it. Even with 24 people reading them."

She is well aware with the fact that many people are talking about her now in the country. Not to mention all the media which are currently hunting for her to get some news. With the help of Matra, Tiara can be hided away. And smartly, Matra told her to create a blogsite, so that whenever people (and / from) the media want to check and re-check about Tiara’s activities, they know where to find her.

Tiara is apparently doing one thing very smart (I would do the same if I were her): Marketing herself through blog. I am not talking about her promoting her sexy body. I am not talking about Tiara Lestari goes naked and shot by Playbboy. But I am talking about her marketing strategy.

see her on this site first, then i'll tell you later about it. or perhaps some of you might know already how Tiara market-ing herself?

Lagi rame soal NPWP

Kenapa ya kalo NPWP bisa jadi seheboh ini.Lihat aja di detik, ada warga PRT yang menerima NPWP bahkan sampai ada pengangguran terima NPWP juga.Kabarnya ini sehubungan dengan Target Ditjen Pajak menjaring 10 juta NPWP pada 20 Oktober 2005.

Nah yang ini moga berguna :

Mereka yang berhak memiliki NPWP adalah:

1. Pemilik tanah dan bangunan mewah

2. Pemilik mobil mewah

3. Pemilik kapal pesiar atau yacht

4. Pemegang saham, baik di dalam negeri maupun di luar negeri

5. Orang asing

6. Pegawai tetap yang berpenghasilan di atas penghasilan tidak kena pajak (PTKP) dan lain-lain, yang belum ber-NPWP.

Selain itu, NPWP juga wajib dimiliki oleh WP yang memiliki rumah dengan
harga di atas Rp 150 juta. Untuk kategori ini jumlahnya mencapai 13
juta.

Untuk kategori pemilik mobil mewah dan kapal mewah, jumlahnya mencapai
600 ribu orang. Namun data tersebut baru data dari kota-kota besar di
Indonesia, belum di seluruh Indonesia.

Yang paling utama adalah penghasilan seseorang setelah dikurangi PTKP
sebesar Rp 12 juta per tahun Contohnya seorang WP yang memiliki gaji Rp
20 juta per tahun. Setelah dikurangi PTKP Rp 12 juta, maka WP tersebut
harus membayar pajak untuk Rp 8 juta sisa pendapatan setelah dikurangi
PTKP.

Ketentuan pajaknya adalah:

1. Penghasilan di bawah Rp 25 juta per tahun pajaknya 5 persen

2. Penghasilan Rp 25-50 juta per tahun, kena pajak 10 persen

3. Penghasilan Rp 50-100 juta, kena pajak 15 persen

4. Penghasilan Rp 100-200 juta kena pajak 25 persen

5. Penghasilan di atas Rp 200 juta kena pajak 35 persen.



Para WP yang berada di luar negeri pun tidak akan luput. Kantor pajak
di luar negeri seperti di AS (IRS) juga memberi data berapa banyak
orang di Indonesia yang berpenghasilan tinggi. Misalnya di AS, memberi
data sekitar 40 ribu item transaksi.

Namun memang ada sejumlah data yang salah. Misalnya saja untuk kasus
yang sudah meninggal dan masih diberikan NPWP. Mungkin saja kita
menerima datanya pas WP itu membeli mobil atau rumah sewaktu belum
meninggal. Kalau demikian, silakan saja komplain.

Untuk kasus keluhan WP yang menerima penghasilan UMR namun menerima
NPWP, bisa saja orang tersebut memiliki penghasilan di luar. Bisa saja
mungkin penghasilannya di bawah UMR waktu siang hari, malamnya kerja di
pub atau restoran yang lebih besar dari UMR, makanya dikenakan NPWP.

Namun jika WP betul-betul bisa membuktikan jumlah penghasilannya, maka
Ditjen Pajak siap untuk melakukan verifikasi. WP dipersilakan
mengajukan komplain hingga 31 Maret 2006.


Nah, jadi...ga usah bingung kalo lain kali terima NPWP kan...atau bisa baca lebih jauh disini.

GeoURL

GeoURL adalah sebuah fitur baru aja yang siapa tau pengen kamu tambahin di Blog kamu.

Fungsinya? Di servernya GeoURL kamu bakal bisa liat peta dunia dengan titik-titik yang nandain lokasi blog kamu berada, atau minimal lokasi dimana KAMU berada.

Kegunaan lainnya, dengan gini, kamu bisa liat juga, blog mana lagi yang tinggal deket-deket daerah kamu. Misalnya gue nih sudah daptar sbg blogger yg berada di Jakarta, Indonesia (Hooh ga pengen ngaku ada di BKK hehe). Nah skrg gue bisa liat bahwa yg berada di Jakarta juga dan udah daptar ternyata baru ada 4 website termasuk gue. Getooo..

Oke gue tertarik skrg gimana caranya?

1. Cari koordinat dimana kamu berada. Search di Maporama kalo belum tahu. Formatnya dalam decimals jangan degree dan minutes. Ini Latitude, Longitude yang udah gue punya:

Bangkok: 13,7438,100.5242
Jakarta: -6.1862,106.8063
Bandung: -6.9152,107.6035
Yogyakarta: -7.7943,110.3685
Surabaya: -7.2734,112.7363

2. Tambahin ini di halaman HTML blog kamu. Letakin di antara tag head ama head"

<-meta name="ICBM" content="COORDINATES"->
<-meta name="DC.title" content="THE NAME OF YOUR SITE"->

Ganti COORDINATES ama Lat/Long kamu, dan ganti THE NAME OF YOUR SITE ama nama site kamu.

3. Republish blog kamu.

4. Submit blog kamunya di form ini. Dalam 10 menit blog kamu harusnya bisa keliatan disini (list sebelah kanan).

5. Pada daftar yaaa biar blogger Indonesia makin tambah banyak. :)

Pastinya Mug lagi

Mau ditunggu berapa hari, kalo emang rejekinya ya pasti dapet.
Itu juga yang terjadi kmarin.Siemens punya program reward untuk setiap pembelian handset terbarunya di BEC.Hadiah langsungnya bisa berupa mug hingga T-Shirt.Plus ada hadiah baru yang baru saja disertakan hari rabunya.Nah karena nunggu rabu itulah, istri rela deh nungguin barang satu hingga dua hari.Hingga tiba waktunya.


Pilih punya pilih, kupon yang nempel di jariku aku berikan ke stand guidenya.Begitu digores permukaan yang tertutup alumunium sudah menampilkan kata M U G.Rejekinya mentoknya ke mug lagi :).Dua bulan yang lalu kita juga dapat barang yang sama.Hanya bedanya dia masih berbentuk panjang dan terbuat dari plastik dengan balutan produk siemens dipermukaanya.Kali ini all black, dengan kata siemens menyertainya.


Buru-buru kabar ini kuberitahukan ke istri."Coba tebak, ayah dapat apa dari siemens?"godaku.Tanpa nunggu tebakan yang lebih panjang lagi, kupotong saja obrolannya dengan kata mug.Istripun tertawa kalo kali ini tebakannya jatuh ke tebakan seriusnya.Alhamdulillah, mungkin nanti rejekinya justru dari BEC dengan program Extra rewardnya.Amin....

Hari pertama puasa 1426 H

Hari ini, Rabu 5 Oktober 2005, sesuai perhitungan pemerintah,Muhammadiyah dan NU, adalah hari pertama puasa.Jadi puasa bulan ini akan genap 30 hari.Waktu yang termasuk lama, dan beruntung kita bisa mengalaminya tahun ini.Artinya juga kita diberi banyak kesempatan untuk menambah amalan di bulan yang dijanjikan Alloh dengan banyak pahala.


Pasti yang agak berat yakni sahur di hari pertama.Tidak seperti puasa tahun lalu saat kami hanya tinggal berdua, kali ini tentu jauh lebih mudah karena ada orangtua yang tinggal bersama.Bukan itu saja, ada kaka, pasti akan memberi kesan yang sangat beda.


Ternyata sahur tadi pagi juga ada kejutan.Kaka bangun dari jam 2 pagi.Tumben.Biasanya tinggal dikasih susu kaka meneruskan tidurnya.Tapi tidak kali ini.Dia malah terlihat sigap pagi-pagi itu dia sudah merangkak dan berdiri sambil berpegangan pada daun jendela.Padahal belum ada ajakan sahur saat itu dari mesjid tedekat.Sepertinya kaka ingin ikut sahur.


Begitu kami semua siap menyantap sahur, mama pun sudah menyiapkan semangkuk bubur saring, khusus menjadi menu sahur kaka pagi itu.Tapi jelas sahurnya bukan untuk puasa.Tetap saja punya kesan kami sekeluarga akan puasa hari ini.

Nanti lagi kaka bangun ya....biar bisa cepat belajar.Biar jadi anak yang soleh,taat beribadat dan selalu dekat dengan Alloh. Amin.
