windows - swf to exe, real world experience -

-

i'm facing challenge of rebrushing , updating 10-years old screenweaver project, , looking decent modern swf-exe convertor. don't have time evaluate options, therefore i'd hear responses actual working experience such tool.

since winapi interaction must, default projector not option.

similar questions (no concrete answers there)

package swf exe or app

create exe swf using flex 3 without requiring air?

many thanks

upd: 300 bounty can me practical answer.

i've been experimenting different swf projectors long time now, , far think i've tried if not of them. i've explained in more detail best projectors have used below.

mdm zinc

http://www.multidmedia.com/software/zinc/

i remember in when had vista mdm had quite few bugs running under os. took while them fix bugs - bugs didn't stop running, interfered functioning of methods in program. reason, decided not continue testing zinc , moved on projector. saying though, i'm have fixed bugs now.

the program has nice intuitive interface, , allows create screensaver exes (which you).

the product pricey - @ $349.99, put me off. can generate mac , linux projectors attractive, requires additional license each cost lot of money.

swf studio

http://www.northcode.com/

this 1 of projectors enjoyed working with. it's featured, has great community support , developers on hand help. projectors generates compatible windows operating systems, , i've never had problems bugs on one.

northcode offer student license swf studio $49. purchased license these guys reason why didn't because found projector better scenario come onto in moment.

i can tell 1 of reasons why didn't use projector (it sound trivial) because had large file size. swf studio allows select size projector want in terms of filesize - options tiny , compact think smaller file types might have dependencies other files in directory. means have bundle application folders , additional files exe itself.

swf studio has option create screensavers.

mprojector

http://www.screentime.com/software/flash-projector

mprojector has gone version (from 3 4) since last used it, may incorporate lot more features in version. remember product transparency, , showcases 'screen buddies' use transparency virtually walk screen. reason why didn't use projector because didn't have many actionscript functions have liked, believe has lot more nowadays. in project wouldn't of problem because want screensaver.

it reasonably priced @ $399 both windows , mac compatibility, can buy windows or mac if wish cheaper price.

janus flash

i going explain product in more detail have realised website no longer exists! janus projector liked , ended using because of sheer amount of features available use in code.

like projectors have mentioned above, each 1 adds functionality flash don't swf. each product includes pre-built actionscript methods can interface operating system things can't in flash sandbox. example, each 1 of these projectors allows manipulate files (add, edit, delete e.t.c.) on computer. janus had methods available out of projectors tried. partially because janus used .net framework (which meant .net 2.0 required on system executing projector on).

also mdm zinc, product allowed create applications mac too. managed cheaper price when contacted them directly explaining student. contacted janus-flash ask future of product, , said may re-release janus in future, it's off market.

some other products have used worth mention haven't explained in detail: swfkit, jugglor, f-in-box (more developer releated required cutting code).

a quick search brings these might worth look: flash2me, flash exe builder , swf screensaver.

for project think best option swf studio. has lots of nice scripting features can use interface os, , nicely priced @ $299 full license.

i hope helps in decision projector use, , save trying out many different projectors did on several months!

php - What is the difference between $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']? -

what’s difference between $_server['path_info'] , $_server['orig_path_info'] ? how use them? when run print_r($_server) , path_info , orig_path_info not present in array. why not? how can enable them? i have read php manual on them, still don’t understand them. the path_info variable present if invoke php script this: http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php/hello_there it's /hello_there part after .php script. if don't invoke url that, there won't $_server["path_info"] environment variable. the porig_ prefix uncommon. path_info standard cgi-environment variable, , should never prefixed. did read that? (there issues around php3/php4 if invoked php interpreter via cgi-bin/ - hardly has such setups today.) for reference: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875

queue - mq_receive: message too long -

i implementing communication between 2 processes using queue. problem when call function mq_receive, error: message long. i have done following: struct mq_attr attr; long size = attr.mq_msgsize; .... // initializing queue "/gateway" int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, size, &prio); if print size value, size=1, while when print same size program (got same mechanism), not long integer ( -1217186280 )... how can solve error?....so while size = 1, believe it's right "message long" why 1? p.s. have tried put : int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, sizeof(buffer), &prio); but no result. it seems need read docs more carefully. when call mq_receive should pass size of destination buffer. this size must greater mq_msgsize attribute of queue . in addition, seems have error in queue attributes initialisation makes proper mq_receive call impossible. here standard message queue session: fill mq_attr struct ( doc ): struct mq_a...
