You can escape these problematic characters using the PHP function addslashes(). As explained by the PHP manual: It returns a string with backslashes before characters that need to be quoted in database queries etc. These characters are single quote (‘), double quote (“), backslash (\) and NUL (the NULL byte).

As you can see from my example below, I first run the content through the addshashes function and than return it to the same named string “$Page_Content” before passing it to my SQL UPDATE or INSERT statement.

$Page_Content = addslashes($Page_Content);
$query = "UPDATE site_content SET Page_Title='$Page_Title', Page_Content='$Page_Content' WHERE id_f='$id_f'";
query_db($query);

To reset the iPod mini, or any iPod for that with the wheel, toggle the top hold switch on and off then press and hold the middle select button and the “menu” button togather for a few seconds (until it resets to the apple logo).
The problem, I’m sure, was failed to disconnect the iPod before ejecting it from the iTunes device list.

Why is it that Apple refuse to assets Adobe in their effort to deploy Flash on iPhones and iPads? Some people believe that Apple fearful that Flash will reek havoc on their battery life. Some think it’s purly profit driven. Think about it. Apple only used Flash on their web site for about a year or two before strictly used QuickTime to handle all of their site’s rich-media content. So they are keep in the same vain by not supporting flash on their Mobile devices.

As a consumer and as a Flash developer, I’m split on this issue. Why? Well I’ve been a Apple user (designer) long before I became a Flash user (developer). Plus I’ve always enjoyed Apple product because they have the tendency of being much more stable than their competitors.

I do feel that Adobe is getting the short end of the stick though. Together, Apple’s OS coupled with Adobe’s creative suits has been such a perfect relationship for those of us in the creative industry. But now with all of the new growth that Apple has had in the mobile sector, they are leaving Adobe to fend for themselves.

The good new is Adobe took some huge steps to remedy this problem by adding a new publishing option in the new Adobe® Flash® Professional CS5. We will now beable to publish AS3 projects files as native iPhone apps. I’m note sure on all the technoligy behine it but they have a few apps up on line now ready for your iPhone… all build using Adobe CS5 beta. Here are a few iPhone applications build using Flash and downloadable via the Apple App Store.

1) Type these command into Terminal window. MAKE SURE TO replace “disk” with the name of your external drive. If you have a problem creating a path to your external hard drive, type “cd” than a space and drag the icon of your hard drive to the terminal window. A path will be filled in automatically.

Code:

cd /Volumes/disk

2) Type out the remove command on then hidden trash directory.

Code:

sudo rm -rf .Trashes

3) It will ask you for your password. You will not see your password as you type for extra security. Once you are done,  press enter.

Code:

Password:

If you have a lot of files that needed deleting (ex: over 20GB) you may notice a dalyed response. If so, just keep an eye on the drive’s avalible memory and you will notice a gradual increase of space right before your vary eyes.

ssh yourusername@hostname-or-ipaddress

After that, you will be prompted to enter your password. As you enter your password, the text will be hidden. Next we should switch to the “root” user. You can do so by typing the following in your terminal window:

su – root

You will have to enter a password once more. Now navagate to where you would like to store your MySQL database file. For an example of changing the directory to the “public_html” direcotry, type this:

cd /var/www/html_public

Now you can back up your db here using the following command. This command will backup all of your databases. I also chose to compress them after the pipe “|” as a gzip file. Type the following but be sure to change the user name and password to your info:

mysqldump -u yourusername -p yourpassword –all-databases | gzip >databasebackup.sql.gz

You can also target single database using the following:

mysqldump -u yourUserName -p yourDBName | gzip >databasebackup.sql.gz

Place the following code in your styles tag.

body
{
text-align: center;
}

div#container
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 900px;
text-align: left;
}

This will increase the number of apps available on iTunes store. This will also give agencies and software companies access to a market place that may have shied away from because of a lack of technical resources or fear of outsourcing.

Flash developers will have to follow the same requirement for deployment as other iPhone app developers. They will have to join Apples iPhone Developers Program and follow their guidelines. One of the requirements is to obtain a certificate from Apple in order to test and distribute your app through the iTunes store.

You can find books on Amizon already geared for Flash iPhone development. There is one by The Essential Guide to iPhone Application Development for Flash Users (Paperback).

If you can’t wait for Adobe and want to dive right in to iPhone application development, here are a few books to help you start building apps.

Authentication failed because Entourage doesn’t support any of the available authentication methods.

I took some time surfing through Google results on the matter but I finally got it working using the following settings.

Setting up your client-based email account

• Email address: MemberID@att.net
• Incoming (POP): pop.att.yahoo.com
• Outgoing (SMTP): smtp.att.yahoo.com
  1. Select SMTP server requires authentication
  2. Use same settings as receiving mail server

Advance Settings:

• Incoming mail server: POP3
• Incoming mail port number: 995  (make sure secure connection (SSL) is checked)
• Outgoing mail port number: 465 (make sure secure connection (SSL) is checked)

IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE!
Do not check the box labeled “Override the default POP port”.
Some users didn’t have to check SSL for the Out going mail.

See screen grabs below:

1) Receiving Mail

2) Sending Mail

Actionscript 2:
[as2]
var path = _root._url;
trace (path);
// here’s how to validate if the flash file is running locally off line.
trace (_root._url.substr(0,7));
if(_root._url.substr(0,7)==”file://”){
trace(“running offline”);
}
[/as2]

Most important thing here is to make sure that you initiate the shortcut:
FilterShortcuts.init();

// Import Filters
import flash.filters.*;
// Import Tweener
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
// Import Tweener propertie shortcuts
import caurina.transitions.properties.FilterShortcuts;
// *** Very Importaint *** : Initialize shortcuts
FilterShortcuts.init();
 
var glowIn:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x9A1A06,0.8,10,10,2,2);
var glowOut:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x9A1A06,0,10,10,2,2);
 
box.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver);
box.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onOut);
 
function onOver (m:MouseEvent):void {
	Tweener.addTween (m.currentTarget, {_filter:glowIn, time:1});
}
 
function onOut (m:MouseEvent):void {
	Tweener.addTween (m.currentTarget, {_filter:glowOut, time:1});
}
