Export Captivate Movie to Macromedia Flash 8

To export a Captivate movie to Flash, you should have Macromedia Flash MX 2004 installed.

Since Macromedia Captivate 1.0 is designed to export to Flash MX 2004, when exporting to Flash 8 in Macromedia Captivate, you can receive an error message like the one above. Macromedia Captivate 2.0 may solve this issue but till then, follow this:

Although Captivate is designed to export only to Flash MX 2004, you can import your Captivate project into Flash 8 by following the directions below:

1. Close Flash 8 if it is open.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Captivate
4. Copy the RDMFISTUB.dll file.
5. Navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration
Note: The 'Local Settings' folder by default is hidden. If you are unable to locate the 'Local Settings' folder you can unhide it by opening Windows Explorer, select Tools > Folder Options > View, and select the option to 'Show hidden files and folders'.

6. Create a new folder called Importers. Your final path should look like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Importers

7. Paste the RDMFISTUB.dll into the Importers folder.
8. Open Flash 8.
9. Create a New Flash Document.
10. Select File > Import > Import to Stage.
11. Browse to and select the CP file.
12. Click OK.

Note: Mouse movements will not be preserved when importing to Flash 8. The beginning and ending mouse placements will be imported, but the motion tweens for the movements will need to be recreated.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
