    - Microsoft VX3000 webcam on Vista Guys I had heard about problems to use webcams with vista and now I know it is. Ever since I bought my acer with builtin 1.3 mp camera it worked once. Some people had it resolved when they deleted/removed all pictures (even sample ones) from the MyPictures folder. This did not work with me. So if someone/microsoft knws the solution. Please respond to this post. Many thanks H. Tag: MSN Adcenter API Errors

    - window.ero.setBoundingArea in v5 Perhaps its this line: Code Snippet var shape = map.GetShapeByID(e.elementID); As I think this won't work because you need to truncate the last few digits and the last underscore in the ID. If you alert this and compare to the actual ShapeID, you'll notice the ShapeID is shorter (and I think its the correct ID) to pass into the GetShapeByID method. Also to note: Code Snippet window.ero.setBoundingArea( new Msn.VE.Geometry.Point(0,0), new Msn.VE.Geometry.Point(document.body.clientWidth, document.body.clientHeight + 600)); I threw the above into an html file, loaded with no problems. Likely its the code before this that is failing somewhere along the line I'd have to see your entire source code to debug it properly though. Tag: MSN Adcenter API Errors

    - Facebook Mashups I've been messing around a lot with Facebook mashups. I've made a mashup that fits (a), it's called the FBFriendsStack. It gets all of my Facebook friends and displays their profile pictures in a PhotoStack. If you'd like to see it, check it out on my profile: http://www.popfly.ms/users/Alliekins Basically I used two Facebook blocks and one PhotoStack block. I like to drag all the blocks onto my work area first; you can do that if you want. 1. Set the first FB block, Facebook, to "getFriends();". There are no parameters for that. 2. Connect the first FB block to the second FB block, Facebook (2), and set FaceBook (2) to "getUserInfo();". The single parameter, 'userID', should be reteived from Facebook and should be the field "id". 3. Connect the second FB block to the PhotoStack block (or other image block of your choice). For PhotoStack, parameter 'imageURL' should be retreived from Facebook (2) and set to "photoURL" (this is the person's user picture). For my mashup I like to display the person's name with the picture, so the second parameter 'title' I set to "name"- again, from Facebook (2). I also happen to be working on a Facebook Friends Map, which sounds like what you're trying to do with your second project. Hope this helps! Tag: MSN Adcenter API Errors

    - Changes in AdCenterOrder? Ok, I downloaded all the wsdl this morning and built a new package for the API so I haven't checked if there were other changes. It does not seem to be a new version either! I am wondering what would happen if there is that kind of modification when the api developer (me for instance) is on vacation... our system will just stop doing its job! Tag: MSN Adcenter API Errors

    - Automatically refresh a PhotoTile? I'm trying to fetch images from a web page which constantly gets updated with new images and then have these images displayed within a PhotoTile or similar block with the help of a timer. But the ImageScraper block doesn't seem to update with the new images, nothing actually happens, and when I leverage the DirectImageScraper it just adds images to the already existing ones. I need some way to clear the array of already existing images in the PhotoTile viewer or just add additional images, please suggest Regards Johan Lindfors [ MSFT ] Tag: MSN Adcenter API Errors

    - Change Background Color of Popfly Web Page? No problem just checking as the mashup editor has a different way to set the background colour. Alas for the web page editor your limited to the themes and colours in the site designer and can't add custom HTML. If you go to the "Page Style" tab you should see options under Color that will change the background colour. Tag: MSN Adcenter API Errors

    - API for Windows Live Messenger functionalities such as Intant Messaging and Presence? I am planning to develop an application that will leverage Windows Live services. It seems to me that many existing services are provided through SDK API, but I am wondering if there exist an API that allow me to directly control the communication to Windows Live Servers for Instant Messaging and Presence Service If the API currently not available, is it on the roadmap to become available in the future Or is the low level Window Live Messenger protocol open and published somewhere Your help is really appreciated!

    - Help starting up Mm, maybe there's a switch to php5 somewhere, or you'll have to give the Live-files an other extension, maybe .php5 Try this: Create a file called phpinfo.php, with this as contents: < php phpinfo(); > Browse to that file and look at what it says about the PHP-version. Then rename it to phpinfo.php5, and look at that file... Tag: MSN Adcenter API Errors

    - Using Live ID Authentication and User credentials Information ? The way I see it, this is to stop phishing attempts for the same reasons that the authentication ID system for websites require you to divert to the microsoft.com site to enter credentials. By providing a pre-baked login window, applications don't get access to Live ID passwords, a far safer option in my opinion. Tag: MSN Adcenter API Errors

    - This is so frusterating! Okay, this is beginning to really frusterate me. I have the newest version of MSN, Windows Live Messenger (Plus), and I have had this problem for a little while now. Where it displays my contact names, instead of showing what my contacts wrote as their MSN names, it is showing the nickname I chose for them. I don't know how to change it so I can see what they chose for their names. Any suggestions Thanks! Tag: MSN Adcenter API Errors

    - Account Expiration concerns Hi, we are a small website looking to integrate Live ID authentication. Our users come to us, ask questions, get answers, and then might not come back for a little while (weeks months ). We are concerned that each time these users come back their Live ID account will have expired. This is a big problem for us as our service does not require daily or weekly consistant logins. Does anyone know the amount of time a Live ID must remain idle (not in use) before Microsoft expires it How are other websites dealing with this Thanks. Tag: MSN Adcenter API Errors

    - "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site" Error Are you trying to create your own Google Homepage item or are you using one someone already created. If this is of your own createn. You need to have any events that attempt to access elements on the page (that may not have already been added to the DOM) to the onLoad event of the document.

    - Map not loading in Firefox 2+ Here's how I create the map container and draw the map. ConstuctMe() creates the container and calls RenderVEMap() which then fills the container. var constructMe = function() { m_containerDiv = bodyDiv; if ( createContainingDiv == true ) { m_containerDiv = document.createElement("div"); m_containerDiv.className = mapDivClassName; m_containerDiv.innerText = "Loading VE map - ID: " + m_containerDivID; bodyDiv.appendChild(m_containerDiv); } // set the ID to the one we need for this instance.. regardless of where the container div comes from.. m_containerDiv.id = m_containerDivID; RenderVEMap( ); } var RenderVEMap = function( ) { try { // FF 2.0 fix from MSDN Forums - http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=852512&SiteID=1 // Avoids the "Browser does not support SVG or VML" error // If the browser is Firefox get the version number var ffv = 0; var ffn = "Firefox/" var ffp = navigator.userAgent.indexOf(ffn); if (ffp != -1) ffv = parseFloat(navigator.userAgent.substring(ffp + ffn.length)); // If we're using Firefox 1.5 or above override the Virtual Earth drawing functions to use SVG if (ffv >= 1.5) { Msn.Drawing.Graphic.CreateGraphic=function(f,b) { return new Msn.Drawing.SVGGraphic(f,b) } } // End of fix m_VEMap = new VEMap(m_containerDivID); // initial zoom factor is 12. if (typeof initialZoomFactor == 'undefined') initialZoomFactor = 12; m_VEMap.LoadMap(m_VEMapCenterLatLong, initialZoomFactor, VEMapStyle.Road, false, VEMapMode.Mode2D, false); m_VEMap.Resize(width, height); } catch(e) { //TODO: log alert("Error loading VE map: " + e); } } Tag: MSN Adcenter API Errors

Port of Dreams

I realize the API is still young, but the MSN Adcenter API errors out and/or lags behind much more frequently then Google or Yahoo. Also, for us larger advertisers, having to call each account individually rather then being able to pull reports for an entire portfolio can cause further programming headaches. Are we going to see some big improvements in the near future

Yes, you are going to see improvements in the future, and specifically the ability to pull reports for multiple accounts in one request.

With regards to quality problems (the errors you mention), it will help us if you specify the details, such as which methods, etc.

Thanks!

Shai
