FlashTracer and Windows 7
I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and have had to re-install a few things so I figured I would post the instructions as I set them up. This is about setting up the extremely very valuable tool for every Flash developer that is Flash Tracer. But it CAN be a pain to setup with multiple versions scattered around the web, various instructions on different blogs, and quite often important tips buried in the comments of said blogs. Hopefully this can help you setup Flash Tracer without a lot of effort.
I am using Firefox 3.5.5, on Windows 7, with the Flash Player 10,0,32,18 debug installed.
Firefox Search Add-ons
Here are a few plugins that can help you find the information you are looking for faster by adding a couple add-ons to Firefox.
Context Search 0.4.3: This is a very handy add on that after you highlight a word on the page, you can search specific sites. Make sure you have added more than the default search sites here.
Search Cloudlet:
When you perform a search after installing this plugin, there will be a cloud of related search terms to help you further refine your search.
Search Everywhere: This plugin adds a button to the bottom of your browser that when you click it, allows you to (among many other features) limit your search to just that site. I find this one particularly helpful as i can usually remember where i read something but did not save the exact url.
Confluence Personal Labels Tip – Bookmark Toolbar
Using personal labels in Confluence is just one of the many ways you can organize your content. For those of you not familiar with labels, think of them as folders where content can live in multiple folders, without physically being duplicated. Having a quick way to access this list can really speed up the way you use the wiki and make you more efficient. Read the rest of this entry »
JDeveloper and Firefox
We ran into a problem at work running JDeveloper (10g12) with Firefox (3) where the css files would not load properly. The error in the error console of Firefox stated:
Error: The stylesheet http://comp.domain.org:5555/OA_HTML/xxwv2masterstyle-v8.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "application/octet-stream", is not "text/css". Source File: http://comp.domain.org:5555/OA_HTML/ibeCZzpHome.jsp?intra=t&log=t Line: 0
To fix this we simply added the following node to the web.xml file in WEB_INF:
<mime-mapping> <extension>css</extension> <mime-type>text/css</mime-type> </mime-mapping>
You may also need to modify a mime-types file but we did not.
