Adobe flash CS5- transfer your video file to flv format, using FLVPlayBack component for progressive download

Originally I have video file wmv format. Using Adobe Video Encoder, I clicked File ->Add in the menu and add myvideo9.wmv,
( there is a problem with avi format for encoder, you need to use window live movie maker to change it to wmv format)

1) click Start Queue button, the video is transformed to flv file format: myvideo9.f4v.
2) Open Flash Professional CS5
3) File ->New->ActionScript 3.0, save as myvideo9.fla
4) Open the component library
Menu Window->Components or hit Ctrl-F7.
5) Drag the FLVPlayBack component from the components library to the stage.
6) right click middle of FLVPlayBack, click set source, find your flv file source: myvideo9.f4v
myvideo9.f4v should be the same directory as myvideo9.fla. In the property menu, remove the path for
myvideo9.f4v, or in future you can not find myvideo9.f4v in the web server due to path problem.

For loop/autoRewind:

name the video in property as myFLV, press F9 to input following actionscript:

import fl.video.*;

myFLV.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, rewind);

function rewind(eventObject:VideoEvent):void {

myFLV.autoRewind = true;

myFLV.play();

}

7) Control->Test Movie->in Flash Professional or (Ctrl enter)
you can watch swf file
8) File->Export->Export Movie, save as myvideo9.swf
9) upload myvideo9.swf, MinimaFlatCustomColorPlayBackSeekCounterVolMute.swf (skin for controller) and myvideo9.f4v in the same directory of web server
10) My result:

There is a bug during embedding, the control bar lost. The original swf can be found
HERE.
For embedding a flash file:
1) you can directly link to swf file, only for a small file and few connections.
2) progressive download video, you need two files: a FLV video file and a SWF file to play the video. It is better than directly embedded, but worse than streaming.
It is OK for a large file but not for too many connections.
3) Using flash media server for streaming. Best!

reset admin password for moodle

I installed Moodle in my Windows 7. When I logout, I forgot my admin password.
Below is how to reset admin password.
1) click start menu, go to All Program, click MySQL, Click MySQL Server 5.1
click MySQL command line client
2) enter your mysql password.
3) type following:
show databases;
use moodle;
show tables;
select username, password from mdl_user;
4) Here password is md5 encrypted (varchar(32)), you can set a password and use following php script to get md5 password:
<?
$password = "mypass";
$password = md5($password );
echo $password;
?>
for example you get: a029d0df84eb5549c641e04a9ef389e5
5) update mdl_user set password='a029d0df84eb5549c641e04a9ef389e5' where username='admin';
6) commit;
7) Now you can use username: admin and password: mypass
to login your moodle.

Evernote

Evernote is a suite of software and services designed for notetaking and archiving. If you find anything interesting on the web, you can copy it to your Evernote. You can write your diary and notes on Evernote.
Evernote can be downloaded and account creation via:
http://www.evernote.com/

Users with internet access and an Evernote account can also have their notes automatically synchronised with a master copy held on the Evernote server. This approach lets a user access and edit their data across multiple machines and operating system platforms, but still view, input and edit data when an internet connection is not available.
One of the best features about Evernote is the Web clipper. Using the desktop version, or a Firefox extension, you can add selections of pages, or even entire Web pages, into Evernote with only a couple of clicks.

When you add a note to the service, it is secured like your email would be at a high-end email provider. This means that your notes are stored in a private, locked cage at a guarded data center that can only be accessed by a small number of Evernote operations personnel.

The free online service has monthly usage limitations (currently 60 MB/month)

Summary of Actionscript 3.0

ActionScript 3.0 is a case-sensitive language
1. variable
Use var to create a variable:
var myVar;
var myVar:String;
var myVar:String = "Hello World!";

2. Data type:
Boolean, int, Null, Number(used for integers, unsigned integers, and floating-point numbers), String, unit, void, Object (the base class for all class definitions in ActionScript).

3. Code comments:
//This is a comment
/*
This is a comment
/
4. Trace()
Traced values are rendered to the output window when we export for debugging(Pressing Ctrl+Enter).
Example:
var myNum:uint = 10;
trace(myNum); // output is 10

5. The Semicolon
The semicolon( ; ) is used to terminate a statement

6. Creating a Sound object and a Datagrid object.
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();

var myGrid:DataGrid = new DataGrid();

7. Using if..... else if..... and else

var numA:uint = 5;
var numB:uint = 5;

if (numA != numB) {
trace("Numbers do not match");
} else {
trace("Numbers match");
}

8. for loop



var i:uint;

for (i = 1; i <= 4; i++) 

{     trace(i); }



var myArray:Array = ["France", "Great Britain", "Italy", "Germany"];



for (var place:String in myArray) {



trace(myArray[place]);



}

9. for each ( in ) loop
var myArray:Array = ["France", "Great Britain", "Italy", "Germany"];

for each (var place:Object in myArray) {

trace(place);

}
10. Built-in core function, such as Math.round() in this example
var myNum:Number = 5.7;

var roundedNum:uint = Math.round(myNum);

trace(roundedNum);

11. Custom Function
function sayHelloWorld () {
var string1:String = "Hello ";
var string2:String = "World!";
var myPhrase:String = string1 + string2;
trace(myPhrase);
}

sayHelloWorld();
--------------------------------------------------------
function with arguments:

var string1:String = "Hello World!"; 



function sayHelloWorld (var1:String) { 

     

    trace(var1); 

} 



sayHelloWorld(string1);

12 Using the rest(...) operator to send array data into functions

function myFunction(... argArray):void {

for (var i:uint = 0; i < argArray.length; i++) {
trace(argArray[i]);
}

}
myFunction("Joe", "Betty", "Suzy", "William");

13. Returning Values From Custom Created Functions

var v1:String = "Hello ";
var v2:String = "World!";

function sayHello (var1:String, var2:String):String {

var myPhrase:String = var1 + var2;
return(myPhrase);

}

var storedResult:String = sayHello(v1, v2);

trace(storedResult); // output the stored result to view it

To setup a RAID system, you need a raid controller and at least two identical hard disk drives. A RAID controller is a hardware device responsible for managing physical drives in a system. Some specific cards are
(check your motherboard menu if any embedded raid controller before buy a new one)

HighPoint RocketRAID 2300

3ware 9650SE-4LPML

PROMISE SuperTrak EX8350 RTL

Areca ARC-1220

RAID 0 (block-level striping without parity or mirroring) provides improved performance and additional storage but no redundancy or fault tolerance (making it not true RAID, according to the acronym's definition).

In RAID 1 (mirroring without parity or striping), data is written identically to multiple disks (a "mirrored set").
RAID 6 (block-level striping with double distributed parity) provides fault tolerance from two drive failures; array continues to operate with up to two failed drives.

On motherboard setup, you need to configure hard disks as “RAID” instead of “IDE”.

Software-based RAID: creates virtual storage devices from the physical drives, operating system dependent.

Hardware-based RAID: A hardware implementation of RAID requires at least a special-purpose RAID controller. On a desktop system this may be a PCI expansion card, PCI-e expansion card or built into the motherboard.

How to wrap text around google ads and image in Blog?

1. Wrap text around Google ads.
Using float:left in div to wrap text around Google ads, this can save space and get more attention from readers. HTML code:
<div style=”float: left; width: 300px; height: 250px; margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom; 8px”>
Adsense code here
</div>

Using float:right in div to put Google ads around the right side of text. HTML code is:
<div style=”float: right; width: 300px; height: 250px; margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom; 8px”>
Adsense code here
</div>

Left ad is 300*250. For different ad size, you need to adjust parameter in div, such as width, height and margin. I successfully wrap text for two ads.

2. Wrap text around image:
using same code, replace the Ad code by image code <IMG SRC="http://www.hickerphoto.com/data/media/161/symbols-of-peace__MG0813.jpg" ALT="eagle" >+ text. Another method, we can use align=right in the img code.

Install Wordpress in my website

I built a new wordpress website to backup my posts in blogspot.
http://www.jiansenlu.zoka.cc/wordpress/
for rss feed, you just need to add ?feed=rss
http://www.jiansenlu.zoka.cc/wordpress/?feed=rss
Below is the procedure, quite simple and straightforward .

1) Download Wordpress from http://wordpress.org/download/ and unzip it (I use free software TUGzip) and extract to my directory in local desktop.
2) I use WinSCP to upload the package to my remote host sub-directory htdocs
3) Go to mysql database create new database: zokac_6523693_wordpress
user and password not changed

4) copy wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php
change database_name_here, username_here, password_here and localhost in wp-config.php to real ones.

----------------------- original wp-config.php---------------------------------
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'username_here');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
-----------------------------------------------------------
5. run install.php, in my case:
http://www.jiansenlu.zoka.cc/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
input site title, user name, password and click install
6 Login page:
http://www.jiansenlu.zoka.cc/wordpress/wp-login.php
7. This is my wordpress website:
http://www.jiansenlu.zoka.cc/wordpress/
8, For adding new theme, go to http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ to download new theme and upload to your server. I choose
Fresh Ink Magazine
9. For adding Adsense, put your AdSense code in sidebar.php as mentioned in
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/adsense/
or you can blend your AdSense as html code in your post.

Usage of Metadata

Metadata is defined as data providing information about one or more other pieces of data, such as:

* Means of creation of the data
* Purpose of the data
* Time and date of creation
* Creator or author of data
* Placement on a computer network where the data was created
* Standards used

For example, a digital image may include metadata that describes how large the picture is, the color depth, the image resolution, when the image was created, and other data. A text document's metadata may contain information about how long the document is, who the author is, when the document was written, and a short summary of the document.

Metadata is data. As such, metadata can be stored and managed in a database, often called a registry or repository. However, it is impossible to identify metadata just by looking at it because a user would not know when data is metadata or just data.

onMouseDown in Javascript

Code 1 : move mouse to produce alert: <html> <body> <img src="image_w3default.gif" onMouseDown="alert('You clicked the picture!')" width="234" height="91" /> <p>Click the picture</p> </body> </html>

Code 2: move mouse to change webpage to pink: <body onMouseDown="document.bgColor='pink'" > <p>Mouse click to turn to pink</p> </body>

Using PHP to identify browser type

Main function to use is: $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']. This can tell us more about the user's operating system, as well as their browser.

DetectBrowser.php is following:

<?php

include ("Browser.php");

$browser = new Browser();
echo "<center><h1> Check Your Browser!!</h1></center>";
echo "Your Browser is ".$browser->getBrowser();
?>
The result can be seen HERE.
Here Browser.php is free software from Chris Schuld.
