Re: [Flashcoders] :: anyone passed flash 8 certification exam?::
hi flashsaavy, Thanks for ur inputs. Arin [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: arin, i recently sat and passed the Flash 8 Certification exam. i had previously passed the Developer cert for both Flash MX and MX 2004. i had never sat the Designer cert. my impression is that the Flash 8 Certification exam IS a Developer exam. my guess is that to pass the Flash 8 certification, you have to know ActionScript. mind you, when you sit the exam you might end up with a completely different set of questions. my guess is that they have hundreds of questions, of which you will have to answer 70. passing grade is 70%, meaning you have to get 49+ correct to pass. and you have 75 minutes to complete the exam. yeah, the test prep materials for the Flash 8 Cert suck. but ... here are some things you definitely should do: -- sample questions that download with the PDF at Adobe.com with the info about the Flash 8 exam http://partners.adobe.com/public/en/ace/ACE_Exam_Guide_Flash_8.pdf -- sample question that download with the PDF at Adobe.com with the info about the Flash MX 2004 Developer exam www.adobe.com/support/training/certified_professional_program/flmx2004_dev_sample.pdf -- sample question that download with the PDF at Adobe.com with the info about the Flash MX 2004 Designer exam www.adobe.com/support/training/certified_professional_program/flmx2004_des_sample.pdf -- know what is new with Flash 8. there are 1 hour of training videos on F8 new features here: http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=170 and you can get a 24 hour free pass here: http://www.lynda.com/freepass/24 beyond that, you can use some MX 2004 Developer study guide materials. tom kitta created a sample exam and put up a ton of his notes. you can find links to both here: http://www.tomkitta.com/flash/index.cfm and you can still get the MX 2004 Developer study guide book: http://www.amazon.com/Macromedia-Flash-Certified-Developer-Study/dp/0321256026/ as i said earlier, you might end up with completely different questions than I did. following are 3 topics that I saw more than 1 question on: -- LoadVars -- Font outline embedding. defaults for static text, dynamic text, input text. etc. -- Video. Video class. import formats supported. -- Audio. Sound class. import formats supported. one surprise for me was no questions related to components. v2 or otherwise. none. nada. there were non-ActionScript questions. some related to the IDE. so maybe those came in from the Designer cert, or maybe not. things like publish profiles, bandwidth profiler, etc. one last bit of advice, if you can afford to take it twice, the best way to find out what is on the exam is to take it. you definitely have to prep for the first time that you take the exam. in the event that you don't pass on the first go, you have to know enough to know what you didn't know. if that makes sense. so if you can afford the risk of taking the test a second time don't over agonize about it. prep, go, if you pass the first time excellent. if not, likely you will know exactly what you need to study up on to pass it with flying colors the second time around. i hope this helps. please post back about your experience after you take the exam. and anyone else who has taken the exam. please post your impressions too. best of luck!

Re: [Flashcoders] Problems with IE starting a sound stream.
is there any solution to this problem even when server sends Transfer-Encoding:
Chunked? Is it any bug with flash player upto ver 8.0 ?
Is there any possible solution at the client side?
Please help!

Re: [Flashcoders] Problems with IE starting a sound stream.
Tested on lot of client computers,which didn't have zone alarm installed in
them.
The problem seems to lie elsewhere, not in zonealarm.
anyone there,would be grateful for some light thrown into this.
regards,
Arin

Re: [Flashcoders] :: mp3 not playing in IE ::
Thanks a lot. But, i don't have ZoneAlarm installed anywhere. Any idea what could else be be causing the problem. --- Arin Marc Hoffman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Same problem for me was caused by ZoneAlarm. The MP3 would get downloaded into cache. It would also play directly in the browser using Windows Media Player.
