What are some good virtual chat websites for preteens that don't require flash player?

My computer will not install flash player for some reason. I really need some good virtual chat websites that don't require flash to play. I already know about Runescape, so please don't suggest that.

What are some good virtual chat websites for preteens that don't require flash player?
Try Gaia Online or Neopets.





Neopets does require Flash to play games but you don't have to play them. If my memory serves me well I'm sure Gaia doesn't use Flash for any of their interactivity.

Can anyone tell me why my Vista IE7 shows some flash movies on Youtube but not others?

I have updated Adobe flash player several times, used their support section to try to fix my problem but I am still not watching my vids. One day it will work the next nothing.

Can anyone tell me why my Vista IE7 shows some flash movies on Youtube but not others?
This type of situation occurs frequently -- usually because


YouTube has shut down many of its servers without telling


anybody. (They do this often in order to do stupid things like


-- change their Inbox system back-and-forth every few days;


-- remove all their blog comments, only to put them back;


-- upgrade their look, even if it results in a downgrade; or


-- ensure that your "reply" to someone's video comment


always appears as a "new comment".)





If YouTube is slow/stuck, and you get messages or advice


to change things, DON'T. It's never a good idea to tamper


around with things you may not be knowledgable about or


comfortable with -- such as java scripts, firewall settings,


flash players, antivirus utilities, pop-up blockers, registries,


or even different kinds of browsers -- because absolutely


none of those things are going to help you in the end.


Your computer/YouTube was working fine before, right?





The first and best option should always be to try and work


with what you already have -- rather than disabling, erasing,


uninstalling, separating, altering, downloading, installing,


or changing things (which may make things worse for you).





The problem of slow or stuck video downloading/buffering


often corrects itself within a few hours or by the next day.


If it doesn't, then there may be a problem with your "cache",


particularly if you get "java script" or "flash player" messages.


(That's why channel pages may sometimes appear normal,


but not regular video pages.)





Whenever YouTube seems stuck or displays weird things,


it is best to empty your cache of all "temporary internet files",


"cookies" and "history". Things are usually okay afterwards.





If you're not quite sure how to do this, or if you want several


other tips on how to make YouTube run faster (all without


having to change anything), then please click on my avatar


and email me. I will lead you through "cache" clearing and


all the other tips with easy and understandable "baby steps".





(Note: a big source of problems is Google Web Accelerator.


If you have it, uninstall it -- even if it contradicts my advice).
Reply:you can try a different browser...





these will help you...





1. Use Opera browser, it will load faster and smoother, and re-install latest flash.





get the latest flash player, and install it.. make sure all the browsers are NOT running during installation...





OR..





2. It could be due to slow connection or high traffic.


Try watching it during off peak hours, the video will be smoother.





Or you could watch it offline smoothly... try using 'zillatube' .





It works well - Just yahoo or google search "zillatube" to get it.

I found a tutorial ebook on flash and am confused if its for Micromedia or adobe flash software?

Am planning to study web page designing.I am confused if micromedia or adobe flash are the same?

I found a tutorial ebook on flash and am confused if its for Micromedia or adobe flash software?
they are the same as Brenda M stated. the basics of Flash have not changed much since even the very early versions. it is much more robust now with action scripts and dynamic data-binding, etc. and is much more of a platform than a simple vector graphic tweener set to a time-line, but the basics are still very much the same. to really be able to use Flash, you need to know the basics and almost any tutorial can get you started. once you get that down, you'll be better equipped to start looking for help with what you want to do with it next.





good luck

How do I transfer files from a Sandisk cruzer 1gb flash drive to my playstation 3?
After you put the drive in ...on the main menu goto Video once the drive is highlighted press triangle not X.. select view all files. the files should show up. then select all or what ever files you want to copy , it will prompt you for a destination...Or you can just watch them from the drive.
Reply:When you put them onto the flash drive you have to make a folder in the flash drive called VIDEO and put the video files into the VIDEO folder... Then its just a matter of copying them onto your ps3.

What program should I use to draw my symbols for use in Macromedia Flash 8?
Softwares that you will need::





%26gt;%26gt; Adobe Illustrator (or Macromedia, now Adobe Firework or Corel Draw - but I will advise you to stay away from Corel!!!). These softwares will help you drawvector graphics which could then be exported as .SWF files (under the menu bar, cick on File --%26gt;Export--%26gt;Flash). However if you don't want to save the vector editibility of the graphic you can do a "save for web" and save it as GIF, JPEG or PNG. The Same goes for Adobe Photoshop (or Macromedia, now Adobe Freehand) - you can use these to create your artwork and later on export it as GIF, JPG or PNG (the good thing about PNG is that saves files with Transperancy, i.e. if you have a artwork with a drop shadow, it will save the drop shadow with the transperancy, however you should decide on your own what images should be GIF/JPG or PNG, since that will make the file size smaller
Reply:You need to save your image using a format that lets you retain a transparent background. .png is a good one for use in flash.


Photoshop is a good program for making .png's, but there are others.

How do I make my computer recognize the USB Flash Drive I bought?

I keep getting a message that it does not recognize the device. I called the tech support for the flash drive and they took me through some steps and then said that I don't have a driver in my Windows XP that will recognize it and to call Windows support. I can't find a support number or email for Windows and I have tried to find a downloadable driver for the USB but can't find anything. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

How do I make my computer recognize the USB Flash Drive I bought?
the only driver you would need is USB and that's built in to everything newer than windows 98. Why it's not recognized is that it's a USB 2.0 flash drive and your usb port is probably USB 1.1. see if you have another port on your computer that is usb 2.0 compliant.

How can I set my flash photo gallery to resize to a user's browser window?

I am using an XML-based flash image gallery and I need the images to get smaller if the user's browser window is smaller. And the images would be larger (until they reach their maximum size) when the user makes the browser window larger.





Do you know how I can implement this feature in an XML-based flash program? I can also edit the actual "script" if necessary so please let me know your STEP BY STEP thoughts. :o)





Thanks in advance!

How can I set my flash photo gallery to resize to a user's browser window?
Flash doesn't create content that has flow, meaning that it has no innate awareness of the browser window size and doesn't automatically re-arrange or resize elements on resize as an HTML table would. That basically means you'd have to write code to detect the resize and do particular mathematical rearrangement while resizing happens. It's not a simple process that I can walk you through step by step. I'd recommend getting really familiar with ActionScript - buy a book or something and then you can do this.





The overview is that you have to set the physical width and height of Flash in the HTML to 100% and then inside Flash (on frame 1 of the main timeline) write Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";





This prevents the Flash from actually scaling as a whole meaning that it would scale to 100% (as set in HTML) like a photo would, but wouldn't do it intelligently. So if you have text in the Flash it gets scaled too and it'll be very odd looking. Once that's set then you need to set a handler to watch the size of the stage and scale the images only according to the size of the browser window.





Good luck.

Reply:really look at what your shoting and be aware of view points and angles,





round 105mm (3x on a compact) is generally the zoom i like to use for people, this is thinning or flatning, depends what you want,





so be aware of the zoom your using go tele as opposed to wide,





as for the flash not sure bout that
Reply:I shoot a lot of women in available light, sun light and with studio flash. It is not necessarily the flash that "makes" them appear heavier than they are.





The angle of light can accentuate certain portions of the body ... for the good usually.





The apparent increased weight can be caused by using a lens that is wider than a portrait lens. The wider the more the effect can be seen.
Reply:The on camera flash shouldn't be making someone look skinnier. Front lighting with a flash would actually widen a person's face. Side lighting makes a person look thinner. What is probably happening is that you are changing the focal length (zoom) of your lens. Zooming in slightly will make a person look thinner, zooming out flattens people, and makes them look wider.

Do you need an external flash to bounce off a reflector for studio/outdoor lighting?

Do you need an external flash to bounce off a reflector for studio/outdoor lighting?
Reflectors are usually used to bounce sunlight back onto the subject as fill light. I have never worked with a reflector bouncing flash light. Just diffuse it
Reply:You can use a older camera flash with a "slave receiver" on it to trigger your flash from the one on your camera or you can also run a pc cable to it if you have that connection on your camera. You can also use sunlight. Stay away from florescent lighting that is a type of lighting not good in photography especially shooting portraits and stuff. You could use a regular 100-150 light bulb aimed at it but it will give a slightly yellow cast which does not really hurt for portrait work. But it also depends on what you are trying to achieve.

How would i put a flash game onto powerpoint?

How would i put a flash game onto powerpoint?
Copy your SWF file to the same folder as your saved blank or existing presentation. Within PowerPoint, navigate to the slide where you want to insert a Flash SWF movie.





1. If the Control Toolbox is not already visible within your PowerPoint interface, point to Toolbars on the View menu, and then click Control Toolbox.





2. Within the Control Toolbox, click More Controls (bottom right icon). This will open a drop down menu - choose Shockwave Flash Object. Naturally, the Shockwave Flash control must be installed on your computer for the Shockwave Flash Object to be listed in the Control Toolbox.





3. Your cursor will change into a cross-hair - draw a rectangle anywhere on screen - don't bother about the size and location now - we'll take care of that later.





4. Right-click the inserted Shockwave Flash control, and then click Properties in the resultant flyout menu.


5. You'll find a "..." within the cell next to the 'Custom' option (usually the topmost option). Clicking this will open the Property Pages dialog box.





6. Within the movie option, type the name of the movie without any path (since it is saved within the same folder as the presentation). Alternatively, you can type an entire URL within the box to access a SWF live from the Internet. Make sure that the Playing property is set to True - you can experiment with other options as well.





Tip: You might want to reposition and resize your Flash movie on the slide.

sfc /scannow





remember that u may need the windows XP cd if there are missing files.


do u have a windows washer installed in your computer that deletes the history and borwsing things every day or week coz some of these washers delete internet explorer plug ins and u can change that by changing the settings in these washers.

What are some good websites and resources on creating flash games ?
You shouldn't start off with making flash games, you should start off with making animations in flash, which is pretty simple in my opinion, after that you should learn the functionality of the site, by making buttons from movie clips etc... a good place to learn some of this stuff is

How do you import music from ITunes onto a flash drive?

I am trying to get my songs and stuff i did on garage band from one mac to another. I inserted the flash drive and dragged my music into it, but it didn't work.

How do you import music from ITunes onto a flash drive?
To import to iTunes, you go to File %26gt; Add to Library, then load the music from your flash drive (I suggest moving it onto your computer first). If it doesn't work, then your file formats aren't recognized by iTunes.
Reply:The Easiest way to explain would be to create a new folder on your desktop and drag all of the songs you want from itunes into it. Then open your flash drive folder and drag your newly created folder into it.. the files will transfer and your good to go..


P.S. Some songs will not transfer if you bought them threw i tunes and are play only.. That's what i do anyway... good luck

How come it keeps saying I have my javascript off and I need to DL the new flash player?

Well I have windows vista i must have downloaded the new updated flash player a million times and the same thing keeps appearing..SO what to do? And i checkedf that my Javascript is on, maybe I did it wrong , if so, please explain.

How come it keeps saying I have my javascript off and I need to DL the new flash player?
Hello,


I think you are trying to play some online games eg. yahoo games and it keeps saying : enable the java script in your browser and install adobe flash player.





If that is the problem please read on. Otherwise please give more info.





1. Adobe flashplayer: install the flash player ( i know you already did but do again). After you see text saying you have installed it successfully, scroll down and click on trouble shooting the flash player. Find Uninstaller for flash player, download it and save it to Desktop. Close all the windows including Adobe page. This is MOST important step. Then click on uninstaller on the desktop. Now the flashplayer is gone.





Go to adobe page again via IE, install flash player again. Now it is all set.





2. java script: I hope you are using IE 7. Go to tools, then internet options, then click on Security tab. Click on Custom level. Scroll down to Scripting. Under Active scripting check Enable . This is also set.





Try to play the game. Any question, please give more info.





thanks.
Reply:I get that everytime because I use a portable version of firefox. Java is installed but not in the firefox folder that it runs from.

What is the correct way to remove a USB Flash Drive from your computer?

I know to you regulars here this must be such an easy question. I think I know how but I just want to double check in case I'm screwing up somehow.





I do it by right clicking on that green arrow next to my screen clock and selecting "Safely Remove Hardware" and then choosing to stop my flash drive. Am I doing this correctly?





I'm running Windows XP Home.

What is the correct way to remove a USB Flash Drive from your computer?
Yeah that's right. Wait for the little bar to pop up that says "You may now safely remove . . ." then pull it out.





One are where lots of people mess up is this: They delete something from the flash drive (which sends it to the recycle bin) and the eject the drive. This is BAD. You MUST empty your recycle bin BEFORE you eject the flash drive, or the space is never fully freed and can become corrupt.
Reply:That's the safest way. But, you can configure your USB drive for quick removal. Then, as long as your PC isn't writing to the USB drive, you can yank it out whenever you want.
Reply:When you plug in you USB memory you'll see an icon on right hand side of the taskbar. when you're done working with your USB memory, simply click on the icon and choose the only option after that you'll see a message that you can safety plug out your memory.
Reply:Yes - you are doing it correctly.





I usually just make sure its done copying and yank it out though.
Reply:Yes, that sounds right. Does a little balloon then pop up saying you can now safely remove your hardware? If so, your all set.

I want to buy a flash for my Canon XTi simliar to the Canon 430EX. Any suggestions?

I can't afford the Canon 430EX but need an separate flash unit. I don't know who makes comparable flashes. Vivitar? Sunpak?

I want to buy a flash for my Canon XTi simliar to the Canon 430EX. Any suggestions?
newworldvideodirect.com has the 430EX listed for $210.00 plus shipping.





IMO you should invest in this flash even if you have to wait until you save the money. Although there are some good after-market flash units, the 430EX was designed by Canon for its cameras.





I also suggest investing in an off-camera flash bracket. Check at your local camera store for various brands if Canon doesn't offer one.





I learned long ago that its better to have a feature and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Reply:http://www.calumetphoto.com/Lighting/Str... is a great site. This link takes you straight to Strobe Lightings.
Reply:How about Canon 220EX? But it head can't be moved like 430EX. Another option is to use Sunpak 383 auto flash, but without E-TTL, the exposure won't be as accurate as Canon flashes.


Why do I look strange in photographs with flash?

Sometimes I look in the miror then take a picture, but when the flash shines I usually look ugly while in the mirror I looked fine? Why is this?

Why do I look strange in photographs with flash?
Photography is about light. Light can be defined in several ways, including:





Quality - soft or hard light. The bigger the light source relative to the subject the softer it is. A tiny flash on the camera is very small and therefore very harsh and NOT flattering. Bouncing a flash off of a wall or ceiling softens it. In a pinch you can put a tissue in front of the flash to diffuse it.





Quantity - how much light. Most likely your flash is very bright on you and the background is disproportionately dark. There's math to explain why but I'll skip it. You may do better to stabilize the camera and shoot without flash.





Direction - When light comes from above or to the side of a subject the light defines the shape of the subject through highlights and shadows and the transition between them. (In harsh light mentioned above the transition is very quick. In soft light it's just a smooth blend from shadow to highlight.) But when you use on-camera flash the light is coming from the same direction as the lens so all the highlights face the camera and all the shadows are hidden behind the subject.





1. Get the light off of the camera. Use the lights in a room if possible, but make sure the camera doesn't shake because it will be a slower shot.


2. Use a bigger light source. The biggest (and therefore softest) light source known to man is a cloudy day. VERY flattering, and sometimes very dramatic.
Reply:Would you show us some samples?





Were them overexposed?
Reply:You can't make a sows ear into a silk purse..by that I mean you're not going to get great pictures by using a poor setup...you'd be better off setting the camera on something and using the timer to take a direct image rather than trying to shoot your reflection. As Antoni said - if you want great shots go to a pro.

if you want great shots goto a professional - they use flash and it looks great

Why does my wireless connection drop when I plug in my flash drive?

I'm running Windows XP and have a USB wireless adapter. If I plug in my flash drive while I'm connected to the wireless my connection drops. To get it back I have to unplug the flash drive and unplug and plug back in the wireless adapter. Why are they conflicting? I should be able to use both.

Why does my wireless connection drop when I plug in my flash drive?
It appears that your computer is having trouble with the USB port. First try using different ports for both the adapter and the drive. If you dont have any luck I would then try reinstalling your wireless card driver. To do this go to the Control Panel and select Device Manager. Find your wireless card from the list and uninstall the driver. Then insert the disc that came with the card and install it again. If this doesnt work try using different flash drives. Also try doing a registry cleanup and defrag. If all else fails and you cant find a solution you could try reinstalling your OS.
Reply:doing this causes a USB conflict (common, dont know why). get a hub and see if that helps
Reply:you should be able to use both unless windows is having issues with the usb controllers.





have you checked in device manager to check all are installed and happy/ok - may need updating/resinstalling of the drivers for each device





could be anything when comes to windows!!!!





i would Google and see if there is a known conflict between the brands of the flash drive and the usb adapter





also give microsoft a call and see if they know of any known clashes/issues with these devices with there os.


Can I transfer over video and music files from one computer to another using a USB flash drive?

I just got a laptop and I was wondering if I could transfer all my video (movie) files and music (mp3) files that are stored on my desktop onto the laptop through a USB flash drive/memory stick? Or is there any other way to transfer all that data faster and easier? Thanks!

Can I transfer over video and music files from one computer to another using a USB flash drive?
Yes you can, but depending upon the size of your pocket drive you may have to make several trips, also large videos may not fit in one pass which means you will have to break it up with video software. If you want to make fewer trips consider burning the files onto a CD, or even better a DVD. If you have the ability create an ISO image of the files and put them onto a DVD then you can fit a lot more info on the disc.
Reply:yes
Reply:Yes, you can. It would be easier if the two machines were networked together, but if not, just drag the content onto the flash drive, including a backup of your DRM files if needed, and then copy them onto the other computer.
Reply:Yes you can. Except the flashdrive has to have enough space for everything. Or you could just take one thing at a time.

How do you make things flying around in flash?

I have seen before people doing things like leaves flying around in flash. How do you do that? Is it difficult? Is the file going to be big? Any advice will be appreciated.

How do you make things flying around in flash?
Flash graphics are typically smaller files than more traditional animated graphics, like gif's. If you want to get into flash then take a look at Adobe Flash here (http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/)





If you're looking for something a little cheaper, just run a google search for free flash creator, or words to that effect.





Flash isn't just as easy as cut and paste sometimes, though. You're gonna have to learn a little scripting to make it do what you want.
