In September 2003, Macromedia released Flash MX 2004, and with it, ActionScript 2.0, a dramatically improved version of Flash's programming language. ActionScript 2.0 introduces a formal object-oriented programming syntax and methodology for creating Flash applications. From a developer's perspective, the new OOP-based techniques in ActionScript 2.0 make applications more natural to plan and conceptualize, more stable, more reusable across projects, easier to maintain, change, and expand upon, and much more. In short, they enhance the entire development process. In Essential ActionScript 2.0, bestselling author Colin Moock--one of the most universally respected developers in the Flash community--covers everything you'll need to know about the new ActionScript language and its methodologies for producing movies, animation, and applications on the web. Moock guides readers through this important new territory with his trademark easy-to-understand style and expertise. Moock's goal throughout the book is not just to get you to use object-oriented programming in your daily Flash work: he wants you to reap the benefits of OOP; he wants you to understand ActionScript 2.0 completely. And without question, Moock is the author who can make this happen. Essential ActionScript 2.0 begins with a tour of the language, including the fundamentals of object-oriented concepts, syntax, and usage. Those who are new to OOP will learn the basics and how to apply their understanding. Those who are familiar with OOP will leverage their prior experience to learn about Flash-based OOP. The next part of the book shows how to structure entire applications with ActionScript 2.0, teaching you best practices and techniques to build scalable, extensible, stable apps. Next, you'll explore a variety of approaches to various programming situations by applying object-oriented programming strategies, known as design patterns, to Flash. Experienced Flash developers and programmers coming from other languages will enjoy the sheer depth of Moocks's coverage and expertise in Essential ActionScript 2.0. Novice programmers will appreciate the frequent, low-jargon explanations that are often glossed over by advanced programming books. As usual, Moock guarantees quality and accuracy by working closely with Macromedia Flash engineers, including Rebecca Sun, lead developer of ActionScript 2.0. Whether you're ready to make the move to ActionScript 2.0 now or simply assessing it for the future, you'll find everything you need to know within this book. Essential ActionScript 2.0 is the one book every ActionScript coder must own.

In the second edition of Principles I have attempted to maintain the emphasis on basics, while updating the examples to include more recent results from the literature. There is a new chapter providing an overview of extrinisic fluorophores. The discussion of timeresolved measurements has been expanded to two chapters. Quenching has also been expanded in two chapters. Energy transfer and anisotropy have each been expanded to three chapters. There is also a new chapter on fluorescence sensing. To enhance the usefulness of this book as a textbook, most chapters are followed by a set of problems. Sections which describe advanced topics are indicated as such, to allow these sections to be skipped in an introduction course. Glossaries are provided for commonly used acronyms and mathematical symbols. For those wanting additional informtion, the final appendix contains a list of recommended books which expand on various specialized topics.'

If you work with Macromedia (now Adobe) Director, there is sometimes a need to open protected casts. You can do it using very good application DirOpener, but it has one weakness - can't open compressed casts '.cct'. Use cct-cxt-opener to plug the gap. It can change both types of locked casts - '.cct' and '.cxt' files into unprotected '.cst' files.

DVD ReBuilder ver.1.26.1 PRO | 10,9 MB
That's where DVD ReBuilder (DVD-RB) comes in. This program was built to bridge the gap between the incredibly easy but limited "one-click" solutions and the incredibly complex but high-quality methods of DVD ripping and backup. Another advantage of DVD-RB when compared to older methods is that it doesn't require access to an expensive authoring package. DVD-RB includes its own reauthoring engine that reconstructs the DVD in a way compatible with its original design.
Over the course of the past couple of years DVD ripping techniques have changed dramatically. Newer "one click" programs have made backing up a DVD a fairly simple process... but there is a significant trade-off. The quality that can be attained by even the best of these programs is poor in comparison to original techniques that used Cinemacraft Encoder, TMPGEnc, or other top-notch encoders. The reason is simple. When using one of these encoders the picture is rebuilt from scratch and optimized for the resulting bit rate. One-touch transcoders usually change quantization and/or motion info in order to lower the bit rate. This can result in pixelation and poor overall picture.

DVD Rebuilder PRO features:
- Closed Captions - Now DVD-RB will extract closed caption data from the original DVD and remultiplex it into the MPEG stream during REBUILD.
- Menu Encoding - The ability to scan and reencode menu segments in the same way as standard title sets.
- Multiple encoder instances - On multiple core computers and some very fast single core computers using hyperthreading this will take advantage of unused processor time.
- Movie and Menus Only capability - allows you to get the best quality within limited available space.
- Movie and Menus Only capability - allows you to get the best quality within limited available space.
- Segment Blanking - Provides you a capability to remove annoying intro screens.
- Slideshow Mode - Convert "Extra" segments into a slideshow, saving valuable space for the Feature.
- Advanced Encoding Features - Modify GOP size, add customized encoder quantizer matrices, set DC precision.
- Movie-Only - mode that gives the highest quality possible. Every available bit is dedicated to the feature.
- One pass encoding support for HC encoder - Gives high quality results in much less time.
- Graphic Analysis display for use in analyzing the IFO structure - draws PGC/CELL relationships.
- ISO file creation is now supported to make it easier to archive or burn DVD-RB's output.
- Automatic burning using ImgBurn or DVD Decrypter - makes complete DVD Backup truly "one-click".
- Remapping audio tracks - set the default to your language or preferred format.
- New intuitive interface - modernizes and simplifies control of your rebuild!
- Full support for video interleaving (ILVU) - re-encodes angle and seamless branching.
...and more... with many additional features planned in the near future!

Changes in version 1.26:
- Added a new MODE called "Enable Bitrate Redistribution." It should be considered to be in Beta status (meaning it's there for testing -- bugs are possible). This feature is especially useful on sources that were not optimally encoded (such as CBR or on-the-fly broadcast encoding. It will perform an initial first pass using the OPV feature of CCE SP, HC, QuEnc, or AutoQMatEnc to redistribute bits across all segments using a constant base Q value, before doing the standard encode. This mode may also improve picture quality on sources that use a less than perfect bitrate distribution on the original source. Results of the redistribution can be reviewed by reading "REDISTRIBUTION.TXT" in the D2VAVS directory after PREPARE.
- Added a hidden value for adjusting the size of the redistribution pass by setting the option "Redist_Percent=" in the "[Options]" section of the REBUILDER.INI file. The default value is 10.
- Corrected a bug related to the implementation of matrices when using OPV and CCE SP2.
- Updated several routines to better handle error conditions.
- Enhanced the OPV routines to better select Q values under certain specific conditions.
- Updated the multiplexing engine to better integrate audio when certain anomalies are encountered.
- Fixed a rarely occurring bug related to closed captioning.
- Other minor and cosmetic changes.
