Installation of Away 3d 4.0 - actionscript

I have some programming experience with Actionscript 3 and am totally new to Away3d. I have not been successful in installing the library on FlashDevelop, which is my favorite editor, although I also like FDT ( free version though... ). If someone out there could patiently walk me through the installation process I would immensely appreciate the courtesy. Marcos

You might use this excellent tutorial for setup your project. Flash is just no more in beta stadium, so if you didn't already download it from adobe sites, do it here not from those links in the tutorial (and yeah, version number little differs).
If you'll have some specific questions (or errors) feel free to ask.

You do not have to install it. Away3D is a library, so just follow these steps:
1 - Download here http://away3d.com/download/ for free the sec file or the source files;
2 - if you have downloaded the swf file, just put it inside your projects path (anywhere inside), right click it and choose "add to library". You are done.
3 - if you have downloaded the source code (you can edit it as you like and better understand the process) you can just open it, enter src folder and move it's contents to your project`s src folder. You are done.

Can't create a directory in the correct directory in AndroidStudio 3.0

Am reading the Android App Dev for Dummies 3rd edition. I've had no headaches till I reached page 92 where it asks me to
"...create the file
src/main/java/com/dummies/silentmodetoggle/util/RingerHelp.java"
The only thing is that I cannot find a way to create the directory "util" in the proper directory. I tried it many ways, including doing it manually within File Explorer, but that didn't show up in my project.
According the File Explorer the directory is in the right place. But according to AndroidStudio it is not (appears to be one level up).
It appears that there was a lower version of AndroidStudio when this book was published, yet I do appear to have the latest version of the book.
I feel as if I am asking a stupid question, I hope the answer is something obvious that is right in front of my nose.

How to import the SAPUI5 Demo Apps SDK to eclipse

I would like to ask for your help regarding importing of SDK Demo Apps to my eclipse workspace.
I have downloaded the zip file containing the SAPUI5 Demo Apps. When i unzip it,
i saw the folder containing the demo apps.
enter image description here
Now I have tried to import the project in my eclipse, but no project is found whenever i select the folder.
How do i import these demo apps in eclipse? I have searched the internet but i just cant find the right solution.
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance! :)
I am going to be a bit cheeky here but your first solution might be to NOT use eclipse ;) I am a bit of a Sublime Text fan and with lots of plug ins you can get 90% of the of the functionality with 2% of the memory footprint and an incredibly fast editor.
Ok, with that out of the way, my serious answer to your question would be to create a SAPUI5 project in the normal way (I am going from memory here)
File -> New Project (SAPUI5 Project)
Once the shell of that project is created you could then copy the root folder of the tdg project into the shell just created in eclipse.
Repeat this process for each of the examples you want to run in eclipse.

Linking to an external www-folder - Tools for Apache Cordova (VS 2015)

For a project I'd like to use an existing website as a base for a cordova app. My project setup looks as follows:
One Solution with two projects
A ASP.NET webservice project (with website aka html/js/css)
An tools for apache cordova project
I don't want to copy the html/js/css files from the website on every build. Instead, I thought I could get away with some kind of a link to the www-folder in the ASP.NET project. I tried several approaches:
Creating a filesystem link (tried 'mklink' with parameters /D and /J - /H is not working for directories
Editing the .jsproj file and add a tag to link to the other project's www-folder
The second approach didn't work at all. Just got some weird errors when trying to load the project again (saying something about file duplicates).
The first approach worked a little bit: It is working, when targeting the windows platform. It is NOT working, when targeting iOS.
When targeting iOS, everything is copied just fine to the platforms\ios folder (read, all the content of the linked www folder is copied to the platforms\ios\www folder). But it is not copied correctly to the remote build tool on Mac OS X! It really just copies the directory link as a file. Remotebuild then failes with a 'missing www directory in top level' message.
Any suggestions how to add a link so the content is copied (instead of the actual link)?
Is there a way to take detailed influence on the build process for specific platforms?
Is there a way to create a hardlink to a directory in windows? What are the drawbacks?
I'd really like to avoid copying the files on build (which would be simple enough with a prebuild script), because there's a high risk of loosing changes made while debugging.
I'm aware that setting a link is also not the best solution, since it has to be done per machine and can't be checked in to a version control system. So, if somebody knows of a better aproach to handle my scenario, let me know.
I work on the Tools for Apache Cordova in Visual Studio at Microsoft.
I'm sorry but VS-TAC does not support add as link. To prevent confusion we removed the option in update 3.
The best solution I can give you is to copy files from one project to another. Another user asked this question a week ago and came up with a hacky solution. Please see this for more information:
VS2015 typescript cordova add as a link
Sorry for the trouble and thank you for the feedback!

view pdf in program(delphi) by use free library(not activeX)

Is there are any open source or free-ware library to display PDF file in my Delphi program?
I had looked for one, but most of them are commercial or not fully functional.
PS: this solution need to be cross platform by using wine.
One possible solution might be to include the open source SumatraPDF viewer with your program and use it to display the pdf's.
http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/index.html
One nice thing about SumatraPDF, other than it being open source, is that it doesn't require an install. It consists solely of a single .exe, so you could just stick the .exe in your app's folder and call it to display pdf's. SumatraPDF is a pretty bare-bones viewer, so it may be one of the ones you've already looked at and rejected as "not fully functional", but I'm not sure whether you're going to find any perfect open source solution.
As others brought up in the similar thread that was linked from this one, you might consider using the Gnostice library or the WPCubed wpdfviewer component. You have to purchase a developer's license for those, but then can incorporate them in your app and deploy as many as you want with no runtime licensing fees.
My answer to this question discusses the Adobe API.
I missed the PS. Some other answers to the same question may help.

Is it possible to create a custom distribution of OpenOffice, or a way to package it into my java application?

I've got simple java-based ppt->swf sub-project that basically works. The open source software out there, OpenOffice.org and JODConverter do the job great.
The thing is, to do this I need to install OO.o and run it in server mode. And to do that I have to install OO.o, which is allot of software (~160MB) just to convert the source PPT files to an intermediate format. Also, the public OO.o distributions are platform specific and I'd really like a single, cross platform set of files. And, I'd like to not interfer with a system's current settings, like file extension associations.
As things are now, my project is not particularly 'software distribution friendly'.
So, the questions are:
Is it possible to create a custom distribution of OpenOffice? How would one about this?
How lightweight and unobtrusive can I make the installation?
Would it be possible to have a truly cross platform distribution since there would be no OO.o UI?
Are there any licensing issues I need to be aware of? (On my list of things to check out, but if you them already then TIA!)
I have no idea to accomplish such task, but Microsoft has its PPT viewer that is for free and very small, maybe in .NET (C#) you can use some kinda function to save into a intermediate file that you need...
and by the way, how are you handling slide transictions?
I found a software that does that but you need MS PPT installed.
this was just an idea, now regarding your actually question:
you can create your own installation of OO, just jump to the Installation project and follow the lines.
I did not read 'til the end, but from the 1st paragraph it seams what you are searching for.
No, not unless you are neck deep coding in the OpenOffice project.
