I had in the last days. I use Firefox all the time and probably because of the cached files or something else it started to lag when I was browsing in more than 4-5 tabs.
I found good solution solving this problem.

Win 7 solution
1. Clear the whole cache of your browser
2. Go to C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\FireFox\Profiles
3. Find the folder of your default profile.
4. Delete all sessiostore*.js files

Restart the browser and then everything should be fine.

Hope this will help you. I made it and now it’s working a few times faster icon smile Firefox lagging .
P.S. I can’t imagine if I had to use Chrome LOL

I met this problem a few times already and I decided to write about it. I will start and repeat this again: DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER AS YOUR DEFAULT BROWSER

The problem is simple: When you have a flash container which is loading xml data generated from php script, this data won’t be loaded properly in the flash because of missing headers. Of course this happens only with IE. The solution is simple. You should add a piece of code which will check if the requests are coming from MSIE browser and if yes, then you just add additional headers.

Here is the code you have to use before the script output the generated xml

if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE")) {
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
    header('Pragma: public');
}

Hope this will help you!

Cheers!

My partner was trying to compile one very big project which has a lot of components, libraries etc …

He added a new component that we were making and try to compile it. But after the swf was compiled it was empty, there was nothing in it and it was half of the original size which had to be.

We had to find a way to solve this compiling problem and the solution was to increase the heap size of JVM. This is only for CS5

Here is how you can do that:

1. Got to C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS5\en_US\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0

2. Find a fila called jvm.ini

3. Open the file and find a line -Xmx128m

4. Change this to -Xmx512m

5. Save the file and start Flash CS5

Note: Flash must be stopped in the time you are changing this!

I hope this will work for you and you will be able to compile you big projects icon smile Flash cant compile large .fla files

Cheers!

I had to change the way of getting the “today” date. By default the datepicker gets the user’s local date/time.

I had to add a feature that is getting the server’s date/time, but according to a specific UTC offset. That’s why I had to rework a little bit the jquery UI.

Here is the necessary code + example how to use it:

1. Necessary changes in jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.dev.js:

/* Generate the HTML for the current state of the date picker. */
    _generateHTML: function(inst) {
        //we set today date
        var now = new Date();
       
        //we get the time offset

        //we calculate the current time according to the time offset
        var localTime = now.getTime();
        var localOffset = now.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;
        var utc = localTime + localOffset;
        var utcTime = utc + (3600000 * timeOffset);

That’s why I found a better way to preload images and it’s 100% working for all browser. Here is the example:

jQuery.preloadImages = function() {  
     for(var i = 0; i<arguments.length; i++)  
    {
          jQuery("<img>").attr("src", arguments[i]);  
    }
}

To use the function you just have to use this:

$.preloadImages("image.gif", "/folder/image/another_image.jpg");

Well … I found a solution icon smile Install ffmpeg, ffmpeg php and codecs automagically (Centos 5.2) . It’s very simple and easy.

1. You have to have installed PHP on your server. It’s better to install the latest version which is now 5.2.9 i think.

2. After you are done with this just follow these steps in the linux console (most of the times we use putty)

mkdir ~/ffmpeg-packages
cd ~/ffmpeg-packages
wget <a title="http://trulymanaged.com/ffmpeg/ffmpeginstall.tar.gz" href="http://trulymanaged.com/ffmpeg/ffmpeginstall.tar.gz">http://trulymanaged.com/ffmpeg/ffmpeginstall.tar.gz</a>
tar -xvzf ffmpeginstall.tar.gz
cd ffmpeginstall

If you don’t want the author to be emailed upon a successful installation, comment out line 47 of install.sh Here is how…

At the command prompt

# nano install.sh

Now comment out line 47

From

echo `hostname -i `|mail -s " FFmpeg installed $_version " vps @ esds.com

To

# echo `hostname -i `|mail -s " FFmpeg installed $_version " vps @ esds.com

Once you have done with this (if you want of course) just run the install script

./install.sh

After everything is done, just reboot your server and check your php configuration (create a php file and use phpinfo() function to get the config of php) if everything is ok and you have installed ffmpeg properly.
