Looking for a Flex module to do Login,...

I'm looking for an open-source or commercial Adobe Flex module to do user Login, Registration, and License management. The back-end can be either on my site (PHP and MySQL) or secure 3'rd party site.

User Interface would have the following:

Looking for a Flex module to do Login,...

That's like asking, I've got myself some pretty paint.?Now where do I get a car to go with it?

Looking for a Flex module to do Login,...

here is your car

but you'll have to invent payment functionality yourself

I've seen Flex login components out there, but I'm pretty sure you'd end up customizing the heck out of them to work with your app and back-end server. It may be faster to look at some examples and roll your own to suit.

''purchasing a license'' ... Take a look at PayPal's site for instructions on how to use their payment gateway in your app. It is pretty straightforward.

''enable Flex app features''... I would store the license information on the server, along with the user's account information. Then when they load the Flex app, a simple license check (during login) could enable certain protected views within the app.

Pardon for my newbie question.

I understand that Flex will provide just the front-end user interface and most of the stuff is done on the server side.

Still, I wanted to start with nailing down that part.

I didn't see anyone mention this yet, so check out NitroLM

On paper, it sounds like it is exactly what you're looking for.

It indeed looks like exactly what I need. I'll check it out.

newbie problem - how to refresh frames...

A few weeks ago I was handed an antiquated frame-based site to update which has given me more than a few headaches.聽 I鈥檝e managed to acquire a copy of Dreamweaver CS 3 from the power that be, and have been trying to find a solution to the following problem:

---

I am attempting to tie in a .pdf document into a simple frame template, with a static left-hand frame allowing the user to select and display the anchored point on a .pdf document on the right.聽 This I鈥檝e done with few peoblems, however when the user tries to click another link the dispayed .pdf doc after an initial selection the right-hand frame doesn鈥檛 move position to the newly selected anchor point. 聽

This I think is due to the fact that the link refers to the same document, despite the fact that it鈥檚 to a different location on the doc.聽 I have been trying to find a way to 鈥榬efresh鈥?the page when a link is selected so that the right-hand side diplay moves to the correct anchor point, but I鈥檇 had little luck.

My question to you all is as follows: is there I can tell CS3 to refresh the right-hand side frame every time a link is clicked?聽 Any help would be appreciated!

Yours, a very naiive newbie Dreamweaver user

Posting a link may also help us see why you are using a PDF as a web page as well? Is there a reason you are using a pdf as a web page?

Community Expert: Dreamweaver
Usergroup Manager: Northern British Columbia Adobe Usersgroup

The website I'm currently working on is an internal network, so unfortunately it's unavailable for general view.聽 The layout sticks pretty close to the normal two frame dreamweaver template, with a series of created links on the left frame opening an adobe document in the right frame.聽 Very basic but that's largely the intention.

The reason why I am linking to a .pdf document is simply because my work task demands I keep it in use, however since this means future revisions should be fairly easy (working off the same anchor/destination points in the .pdf document text this isnt a huge issue).

Not entirely ideal I know but at least it creates an interesting problem!

If anyone has a easy to create, newbie-friendly alternative to frames whereby I could create a site which links directly to specific areas in a .pdf document on demand I would be a very happy man!聽 Willing to potentially offer beer/first-born as payment.

Any further suggestions guys?

Help with loading xml into dynamic text...

Hi,
I have an xml feed generated from our CMS. It sends lot availability to a flash map. The map has some buttons that will change color based on availability. There is also a tooltip that I would like to display 2 more fields that the xml is sending....price and model number. I am not sure how to get this to work when one rolls over each individual lot button

This is the actionscript in each of the 4 neighborhood frames:

var _xml:XML = new XML();
_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
_xml.onLoad = myLoad;
var child = _xml;

function myLoad(ok)
{
if (ok == true) {
// for each node in the xml file
var index =0;

while (index %26lt; _xml.firstChild.childNodes.length){
//var objecttitle = _xml.childNodes[0].childNodes[index].childNodes[0].childnodes[0].nodeValue;
var objecttitle = _xml.firstChild.childNodes[index].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

if (objecttitle.indexOf(''Neighborhood1'') %26gt;= 0){

var lotnumber = _xml.firstChild.childNodes[index].childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
var ourstatus = _xml.firstChild.childNodes[index].childNodes[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
var price = _xml.firstChild.childNodes[index].childNodes[3].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
var model = _xml.firstChild.childNodes[index].childNodes[4].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

var colorful = new Color(''_root.Lot'' + lotnumber);

trace(colorful);

if (ourstatus == ''Sold''){
colorful.setRGB(0xFF3366);
}else if (ourstatus == ''Pending''){
colorful.setRGB(0xFFCC33);
}else{
colorful.setRGB(0x00FF00);
}

}

index++;
}
}
}

_xml.load(''XMLFeed.aspx?ObjectType=Lot%26amp;SortPropert y=Lot Number'');

This dynamic text fields are located in a movieclip located at:
_root.tooltip.pricefield
_root.tooltip.modelfield

Each Button has an instance name, e.g. ''Lot 100''

Here is an example of (not the full) xml:

%26lt;ContentManagementObjects%26gt;
%26lt;Lot%26gt;
%26lt;Title%26gt;Neighborhood1%26lt;/Title%26gt;%26lt;LotNumber%26gt;1%26lt;/LotNumber%26gt;%26lt;Status%26gt;Pending%26lt;/Status%26gt;%26lt;Pri ce%26gt;$1,100,000%26lt;/Price%26gt;%26lt;Floorplan%26gt;Model A%26lt;/Floorplan%26gt;%26lt;/Lot%26gt;
%26lt;Lot%26gt;
%26lt;Title%26gt;Neighborhood1%26lt;/Title%26gt;%26lt;LotNumber%26gt;2%26lt;/LotNumber%26gt;%26lt;Status%26gt;Pending%26lt;/Status%26gt;%26lt;Pri ce%26gt;$1,100,500%26lt;/Price%26gt;%26lt;Floorplan%26gt;Model A%26lt;/Floorplan%26gt;%26lt;/Lot%26gt;
%26lt;Lot%26gt;
%26lt;Title%26gt;Neighborhood1%26lt;/Title%26gt;%26lt;LotNumber%26gt;3%26lt;/LotNumber%26gt;%26lt;Status%26gt;Sold%26lt;/Status%26gt;%26lt;Price%26gt; $1,100,000%26lt;/Price%26gt;%26lt;Floorplan%26gt;Model A%26lt;/Floorplan%26gt;%26lt;/Lot%26gt;
%26lt;Lot%26gt;
%26lt;Title%26gt;Neighborhood2%26lt;/Title%26gt;%26lt;LotNumber%26gt;1%26lt;/LotNumber%26gt;%26lt;Status%26gt;Sold%26lt;/Status%26gt;%26lt;Price%26gt; $1,300,000%26lt;/Price%26gt;%26lt;Floorplan%26gt;Model B%26lt;/Floorplan%26gt;%26lt;/Lot%26gt;
%26lt;Lot%26gt;
%26lt;Title%26gt;Neighborhood2%26lt;/Title%26gt;%26lt;LotNumber%26gt;2%26lt;/LotNumber%26gt;%26lt;Status%26gt;Sold%26lt;/Status%26gt;%26lt;Price%26gt; $1,550,000%26lt;/Price%26gt;%26lt;Floorplan%26gt;Model B%26lt;/Floorplan%26gt;%26lt;/Lot%26gt;
%26lt;/ContentManagementObjects%26gt;

What do I have to do to get the price and model name into the dynamic text fields in the tooltip whenever one rolls over that unique button.

Thanks in Advance.

Bridge CS4 very busy doing nothing?

Recently noticed that while in the background, BridgeCS4 uses quite a bit of resources: Processor usage between 110-150% on a Dual G5.

At first I thought it might be building previews or something like that, but it looks like it's doing the same when pointed at an empty folder.

Screenshot:

http://img.skitch.com/20090708-p68ki3hqua2iwm9rk26nwxefxf.jpg

So, to get any work done in PSCS4, I now have to quit Bridge...

I tried resetting prefs, that didn't work.

Thoughts?

Bridge CS4 3.0.0.464

PSCS4 11.0.1

OSX 10.4.11

Mac 2x2GHz G5

5.5 Gb

HDD1: 113Gb used / 35 Gb free

HDD2 (scratch/cache): 107Gb used, 190Gb free

Bridge CS4 very busy doing nothing?

Rene-),

On my machine, Bridge in the background is using less than 1% of CPU resources (0.40% to be exact), 68.29 MB of Real Memory and 602.13 MB of Virtual Memory.?I haven't quit Bridge for several days now, so the cache is thoroughly built up.

My understanding from recent discussions with Adobe engineers is that the Central Cache is always on, even when you're set to distributed folders.?My speculation is that your central cache could still be being built, otherwise there's something weird going on.

Bridge CS4 very busy doing nothing?

Ah, that might be it. I did add a few Gb worth of tiff files to the disk a day back.. I'll try leaving it on for a while

Seems like that was indeed the case. After leaving bridge on for the night, it's back to normal CPU use

XMP when sharing video

Hey everybody.?I am fairly new and am trying to 'Share' my video, but the share function keeps seperating my video (MPEG) from a audio and creating a file that has a xmp extension.?Can you tell me why it is doing this, and how I can get them together?

On aside, the video is fairly huge, and I have been trying to 'export' but I don't think that my PC can handle it cause I keep getting a 'fail' saying that Adobe cannot compile video.

Thanks for the help.

James

XMP when sharing video

Can you tell us a bit more?

What is your operating system, how much RAM do you have and how much free, defragmented space is left on your hard drive?

What are the source files for your video project? If video, what type of camcorder did it come from? If photos, did you resize the photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels?

Finally, what type of file are you trying to share your video as, and what settings did you use to share it?

XMP when sharing video

James,

The reason that you are seeing the files that you are, is because of the failure of the system to complete the process. When Exporting/Sharing to a muxed file (one file that contains both the Audio and the Video), they are initially created as separate files. There are up to three ''helper'' files, though you may only get one of those, during the process. The XMP and often XMPES files tell the system how to combine the Audio and Video files into one. If the process did complete, the two individual files, plus the helper file(s) would disappear, and you would be left with one muxed file per your settings. One can watch this happen, if they have Windows Explorer open to the destination folder, while the Export/Share is taking place. In your case, the process stops, so you are left with the pieces, prior to combining.

Now, Steve has asked some very important questions, to help find out why your system is not allowing the creation of the muxed file to complete.

The common issues are:

1.) Inadequate HDD space for the process. As you can see, the files created in the process are rather large, and there are more of them, than what you will end up with. PE needs room to work. That is the reason that this forum recommends so much free, defragmented HDD space.

2.) System problems:

A.) This can be overheating, as the process is CPU intensive. This often leads to a system reboot

B.) Bad RAM

C.) Issues with your Page File (Windows Virtual Memory) - goes back to #1 above

D.) MoBo issues

The answers to Steve's questions will get everyone started on the troubleshooting path, and may even contain the answer to the problem immediately. For more indepth trouble shooting, you might want to see this ARTICLE.

Good luck, and let us know the answers to Steve's questions, please,

Hunt

Once again, thank you so much for all your help.

James

James,

Welcome back to the forum.

From your system specs, I don't immediately see an issue.

Can you give us the full specs on your Share/Export settings. There might be a clue there, as to why your resulting file is not being muxed (combined Audio %26amp; Video). What you are ending up with is basically the intermediate step. You get the elemental streams, and the XMP (basically instructions for combining the two streams into one). If one Exports to a muxed file, and open Windows Explorer to the folder, where the Export is directed, they will see the creation of the two elemental streams, plus the ''instruction'' file, and then see these disappear, as the final Export file is ''assembled.'' It's that ''assembly,'' that is not taking place in your case.

Have you had any error messages, such as ''Low on Resources,'' or ''Memory Errors?''

Do not remember if I linked to this already, but you might get some tips, on setting up your computer for an editing session in this ARTICLE.

Now, back to the defragged free space. You defrag regularly, but how much free space do you have on the HDD, to which you are Exporting? In My Computer, you can Rt-click on that HDD, and choose Properties. That will tell you how much free space is available. Because the two elemental streams are first created (takes up a lot of space), it could be that there is not enough additional space to create the muxed version, so you end up with a partial Export - elemental streams, instructions file and no muxed final output. Just guessing here.

Good luck,

Hunt

You nailed it.?That is exactly what is going on for me.

I read your article, good stuff.?Can you tell me how to run MSCONFIG?

I have about 500Gb left on my HDD, so I think I have plenty.?

Estimated file size = 771kb

Once again, thank you so much for the help.

J

I have about 500Gb left on my HDD, so I think I have plenty.

While we're testing, under the Multiplexer tab, change Multiplexing to ''MPEG2'' from ''DVD,'' and see if that makes a difference.

Good luck,

Hunt

Version control options for Flex 3

At work we need to implement a source control system for Flex code.?I know that Flex 3 builder has native support for CVS and SVN, but can GIT be also used?

Thanks!

Version control options for Flex 3

Flex code can be used with any version control system I am aware of.

I was unaware that Flex Builder had native support for any version control.

However, Eclipse, which Flex Builder is based on, has plug-ins for a lot of things, including version control systems.

Take a look at the team development category here: http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/

Version control options for Flex 3

Version control can be a very big problem, if you truly want to make it work.?Backing up some source files on a disk may be all you need.?But if you want a workgroup to restore old versions over time,?you've got a lot of planning to do.

I'm pretty sure there are Flex Builder / Eclipse plugins for Git, but what's wrong w/ the command line??

Show/Hide Structure Pane

Hi all,

I want to show/hide the structure pane in the indesign document dynamically using Indesign scripting. Is it possible to do that through indesign scripting? Please help me out.

Thanks in advance,

Anitha

Show/Hide Structure Pane

Hi

Try this by changing value true %26amp; false

app.activeDocument.xmlViewPreferences.showStructure = false;

Show/Hide Structure Pane

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I am using Adobe Indesign CS3. I guess ''XMLViewPreferences'' is not available in CS3. Its giving me error, when i try to run the script.

Thanks,

Anitha

I am also using CS3 and getting as expected. May I know what u tried?

This is what i have tried,

var myDocument = app.open ('sample.indt', true);

I am adding some data into the template and am trying to save it as an .indd file. Before saving it, am trying to set ''showStructure'' as false.

app.activeDocument.XMLViewPreferences.ShowStructure = false;

myDocument.save(new File('test.indd'));

But its giving me an error saying ''Object does not support the property or method activeDocument''.

Kindly help.

change this line

app.activeDocument.XMLViewPreferences.ShowStructure = false;

as

app.activeDocument.xmlViewPreferences.showStructure = false;

yeah. I tried that too. I guess the issue is that the Application object 'app' doesn't contain a property called 'activeDocument'. I checked it in Help-%26gt;Adobe Indesign CS3 Server Object Model too. The property 'activeDocument' is not being listed under Application.

Kindly help.

You can surely use app.activeDocument with InDesign CS3. Maybe you are within a with clause?

Also since you have defined myDocument you can use this variable instead.

Ralf

I dont understand wats the problem on ur side. Though, check target application is whether ''indesign cs3'' or not in toolkit.

or quit indesign and delete ''OMV'' file in the following path ''c:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Adobe\ExtendScript Toolkit\2.0'' then restart indesign and check the same code.

or try as

myDocument.xmlViewPreferences.showStructure = false;

InDesign Server does not have an activeDoument. You need:

app.documents[0]

But why are you trying to set the structure pane visibility in ID

Server?

Harbs

Dear Anitha,

Just use below line:

app.activeDocument.xmlViewPreferences.showStructure=false;

As you know javascript is a case sensitive code.

ritu....

Hi Harbs,

I have a requirement where the structure pane should be hidden by default. I cant do it manually by opening the file and pressing Ctrl+Alt+1. I have to do in Indesign script. I am running the scripting using indesign server.

I checked in Help-%26gt;Adobe Indesign CS3 Server object model. ''xmlViewPreference'' and ''activeDocument'' attributes are not available. Please help.

Sorry I didn't mean server.?This works perfectly in Indesign CS3 desktop version.

I responded on the Server forum.

Harbs

Hi Anitha,

What you want to do with structure pane? Why you want to show it?

The object is not available with ID Server.

Transparent area

This is probably a dumb question but I'm new to this and can't find the answer anywhere.

How do I set an area to be transparent in ActionScript 3.0?

At the moment I'm creating a subtitles area to sit over the player and it has the following code:

? subtitlesArea.x = player.x;
?subtitlesArea.y = player.y;
?subtitlesArea.width = player.width;
?subtitlesArea.height = player.height;

Is it just a case of adding ssth like this?!

?subtitlesArea.transparency = true;

Transparent area

You can set the alpha property to 0 or you can set the visible property to false.

subtitlesArea.alpha = 0; // 1 for full visibility

subtitlesArea.visible = false;?// true for full visibility

Flex and search engines

Hi all,

I looked at old messages, but couldnt really find an answer in recent subjects.

I had my website in HTML before, and it was pretty high indexed in all the search

engines. Now I moved exactly the same information into a flex application and

it can't be found on the same positions anymore in the search engines.

What can I do to get back my old rating ?

Do I have to put the source open ? Or can it be found with hidden code as well ?

Thanks for all info.

Acrobat Plug In...Could not find...

F8as2 - Headscratcher! +=...

F8as2

Background:

In trying to respond to a question I wrote a bit of code that just adds 0.01 to a number.?It is displayed in a dynamic text field.?If I start counting from 0 it only counts to 0.06.?The counting stops but the onEnterFrame keeps running.

The Code:

var num:Number = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
?num += .01;
?trace(num);
?num = Math.floor(num*100)/100;
?trace('' ''+num);
};

The Output:

0.01

?0.01

0.02

?0.02

0.03

?0.03

0.04

?0.04

0.05

?0.05

0.06

?0.06

0.07

?0.06

0.07

0.06

repeats 0.07

?0.06

The Question:

Why did the code stop incrementing after 0.07??

Thanks,

F8as2 - Headscratcher! +=...

It seems to have something to do with your line that is performing the Math.floor function on the calculation. When I comment that line out the increment works as expected. If I change it to Math.ceil it works as expected. However if you code it like this with Math.floor

var num:Number = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
?num += .01;
?trace(''before floor:'' + num);
?num = num*100;
?trace(''after multiply:'' + num);
?Math.floor(num);
?num = num/100;
?trace(''after floor:'' + num);
?
}

It works as expected. Apparently there is something sneaky going on in the call to Math.foor(num*100) that proper mathematics does not like. It's interesting because I am sure I have done this in code before, but maybe I haven't.

Anyway just perform the floor command on a number after you have the final number you need floored.

F8as2 - Headscratcher! +=...

It may just be a case of the imprecision in calculation, which isn't abnormal in Flash.?Sometimes you need to round values to get better results...

num = Math.floor(Math.round(num*100))/100;

Thank you MaxManNH?and Ned Murphy .

Problem solved.?If I didn't use Math.floor I did get .0699999999999999 instead of .07.

Thanks for the quick responses.

There use to be a function to export single frames so you can use them as still images; However, I can't find the function in this version, nor have I been able to find the info in the tutorials or support forums.

Can you export frames in CS4?

find the frame you want then hit

file

export media?( AME will launch )

then choose from the dropdown list either

Gif

Tiff

and it will save a frame.

Can you export frames in CS4?

THank, I'm really starting to hate the fact you have to call secondary program to do stuff, its waste of resourses

With 4.1 it does not call up AME anymore.?When you go to File, Export, choose you file type and then it will ask you where to save it and it is done.?It made me crazy too when you had to wait for AME to launch just for it to run for .5 sec.

The one little limitation/omission with the ''fix'' in CS4.1 is that the Exported still does not get added to the Project, as it did in other versions through CS3. Once, one had the option to either add it, or not. Now, the still must be Imported into the Project, as there is no longer a choice. At least this simple and necessary feature was added back to CS4.1, though with that one change.

Good luck,

FrameMaker 8 and WWP 2003 interworking...

Hello all,

we have previously been using FM6 in conjunction with WWP2003 to produce HTML output. Due to new requirements we are facing the update to FM8 and encounter problems. Evidently FM files cannot be used at all to produce HTML output in WWP and if we import MIF files instead, then output is generated but many special characters are missing.

Is this a known problem, or are there perhaps updates available for WWP (I have not found any)? I think that moving to WWeP will not be an option. Any comments would be helpful because we have to determin whether the current workflow is possible at all under FM8.

FrameMaker 8 and WWP 2003 interworking...

Robert,

You might have better luck asking at the WWP users list over on Yahoo - http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wwp-users/

My recommendation would be to dump WWP and go with mif2go.

FrameMaker 8 and WWP 2003 interworking...

The special character issue may be due to unicode. I'm not sure there is an easy way to avoid it.

Could the workaround proposed by Shlomo in this thread

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/457771?tstart=0

be applicable here?

Thanks for the responses, evidently the special character problem is realy related to the new MIF format and not to FM8 in general. I found that if I save as FM7 MIF, then the problerm is gone! Even though this is not a very fluent workflow, it does provide a preliminary solution.

Non-interactive swf compilation

Hi all,

I'm using Flex Builder 3 for creating swf files.

I know Flex Builder already comes with command line compiler tools (mxmlc), I wonder if it is possible to completely rely on some scripting building system (e.g. Makefile-based) for compiling a Flex/AS project rather than doing it from the IDE.

Can someone say if this is actually possible, and provide hints/links in that direction?

Regards.

Non-interactive swf compilation

sure! most popular solution is Apache ANT

Hebrew in Input Text fields.

Hello.

I designed a website for Israeli users, that suppose to support Hebrew.

When I published the site and uploaded to the web and tried to write Hebrew at the ''Contact Form'',

I couldn't. It doesn't matters if I'm changing the language, nothing matters. It's just not working.

What interesting at this story, that Windows users can write Hebrew, but Mac users, like me, can't.

Why it's happening?

I'm sorry about the poor English. I'm just 14.

Problem after moving ''Pictures'' to a...

Windows Vista. Photoshop Elements 4.0.

I, foolishly it seems, moved my Pictures folder from c drive to d drive. There are several thousand pictures.

When I then started Photoshop Organiser the program immediately went in to a search . While doing this the priogram would not accept any commands and could only be closed through Task Manager. I left it running for several hours but there was no change. I am not even sure that it was doing anything - there didn't appear to be any processor activity. But if it was searching through the whole computer for each photo in turn this could take weeks!

I then moved the pictures folder back to its original location. This did not solve the problem. The program just went into this endless search.

I then uninstalled the program and reinstalled it assuming that with a clean sheet I could point the program to my pictures folder and all would be well. However this didn't work. As soon as I started the program it went into this endless search again! I noticed that it had picked up my Collections from the previous installation so I guess there must be some data or index files somewhere that were not deleted in the uninstall and told the program to look for my pictures.

Any suggestions as to what I can do now?

PSE 4 is not supported on Vista.?PSE 5 and above are.?That may be part of your problem.

Did you move the pictures folder to precisely its original location??Are the path names exactly the same??I would expect that moving the folder back would solve the problem.

If you are familiar with MS Access you can use that to edit your .psa file and change drive letters.?I believe Open Office has a database program that will work also.

Did you do a file%26gt;catalog%26gt;recover at any point??That often clears up catalog problems.

How to play swf file in flex builder3?

Hi!!!!!! I have made a video player in Flex project ......In source of video display I have added the path of my swf file which is as follows:

%26lt;mx:VideoDisplay id=''player'' source=''C:\Documents and Settings\sachin\Desktop\absolute-values.swf''
maintainAspectRatio=''true''
width=''450'' height=''300'' autoPlay=''false''
playheadUpdate=''videoDisplay_playheadUpdate(event)?;''/%26gt;


But when I am clicking on Play button ,I am getting following error:


Error: 1000: Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server.
at mx.controls.videoClasses::VideoPlayer/play()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0\frameworks\proj ects\framework\s rc\mx\controls\videoClasses\VideoPlayer.as:1327]

Can anyone help me in removing this error?Kindly give me a?code?to Play,Pause and stop my swf file.

How to play swf file in flex builder3?

Probably the path to the FLV file cannot be resolved.

If your video MXML component is in a different directory than the main MXML file, you may need to have the path to the FLV relative to the main MXML file, not relative to the video MXML component, because it all gets compiled into one SWF file.

If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

How to play swf file in flex builder3?

If you plan on publishing the project to the internet, you can't use c:\harddrive\my.flv.

If you specifty the source as filename only, next to the main.swf.?It will work on the harddrive and the internet.

GRag and Mesh are correct. You cannot use Flex to access a file on a user's hard drive, which is where your path is pointing.

Instead, create a folder within your Flex project, under the ''src'' folder (example: src/assets/videos), and put the SWF there. Change the path in your code to point to the new location, like ''assets/videos/myVideoFile.swf''. Note that you don't refer to the src folder; it is the ''root'' of your application, and when you deploy all your files to your web server, you will be copying the folders you created to the root folder of your web server. So, all the paths will remain consistent. Flex will attempt to find ''assets/videos/myVideoFile.swf'', starting from the ''root'', or location, of the application itself.

VideoDisplay accepts only FLV format.

For SWF, you can opt for SWFLoader or Loader. For more, please refer to livedocs.

D'oh missed that minor point!

Printing pdf weird problem

I have posted this on the windows forum, as I use windows and created the form in question on a PC.?But I think we have narrowed the problem down to being a platform issue, so I am just curious if anyone else has encountered this.

I have a fillable form (distributed) placed on the web for registrations.?It has a submit button.

A person filled in the form and emailed it back to me.?I can see all the fields filled in, but when I go to print all the text will not print, only the one check mark from a check box prints.

The person who filled out the form, is on a Mac, can fill out with ease, can print no problems, but when tries to submit.... does nothing.?So they saved the pdf, and sent it back as an attachement. I receive it no problem, can see it all filled out.?Only the printing issue.

Any thoughts??Thanks in advance, as I am leaving town for a few days and will not actually get to view these replies.

Looking forward to a possible solution to this quark.

AE Time Code Numbers

Question ---on After Effects Time Code Effect with changing numbers.

1. Is there a way to do the Time Code Effect with Letters Not Numbers. Want to do the Time Code Effect with Text not numbers.

Thanks a lot for all the great help on here!

Adobe After Effects CS3

AE Time Code Numbers

What do you mean exactly.

Do you want something like that:

1) one hour : seven minutes : two seconds : tenth frame

or like that:

2) er:hg:rt:za

In case it's the second one, do you want the letters to be totally random each frame, or do you want them to do related to numbers like N = 0; x = 1; %26amp; so on

Anyway, you can't do this via the timecode effect, but a simple text layer with expressions can give you that.

AE Time Code Numbers

Hi thanks for the reply.

Like to have the time code effect using text instead of numbers and they turn and eventually stop and spell out ''Your Imaging Package''

So in other words

A. want the same exact Time Code Effect of changing letters

B. Letters change like the numbers do A thru Z

C. Then Stop and Spell out ''Your Imaging Package''

Bascially want the ''Time Code Numbers Effect'' exactly the same only using TEXT instead of numbers.

Thanks

Joe

As Sebastien suggests, animating text on a text layer can do what you describe.

Here's a link to an example in After Effects Help that does something similar to what you describe: ''Example: Offset characters''.

There is a text preset for randomly transitioningt to any kind of text that comes with AE. Just doubel check your Effects%26amp;Presets palette....

java.util.Map to flash.utils.Dictionary

Hi,

I have a Map in the server side that has typed objects as keys. I want it to convert to a Dictionary in the Flex code with those typed objects (or untyped objects if necessary). For now the entire map is converted to an untyped object having the properties as the 'toString' of the keys.

Is there a way to get it to convert to a Dictionary? Why isn't that the default behavior?

Thanks,

Eyal

java.util.Map to flash.utils.Dictionary

I also have the same question.?What is the best way to preserve java.util.Map keys as objects??I know I can parse the string representation, but is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,

java.util.Map to flash.utils.Dictionary

Ron,

There's no way to do it with the current AMF protocol since it doesn't support serialization of AS Dictionary. You can write your own code to simulate the serialization but I couldn't find anything like that.

Martin Zach

DateFormatter: In initializer for...

In the current Flex 4 trunk the error message reads something like - so hopefully a bit more descriptive.?

'DateFormatter' declaration must be contained within the %26lt;Declarations%26gt; tag, since it is not assignable to the default property's element type 'mx.core.IVisualElement'.

java.util.Map to flash.utils.Dictionary

Hi,

I'm using Blazeds for my remoting between Flex and Java. I have an Object-to-object map on the Java side. This converts to an untyped Object in Flex having the properties as the 'toString' of the key Object.

Has anyone been able to convert an Object-to-object java map to a flash Dictionary object? Why wouldn't it do that as default?

Executing Actions thru Applescript only...

Hi All,

Created an applescript to execute a pre-recorded action from illustrator. When i ran the script, actions only execute the first step in the recorded action.

ACTION: Created an action called ''TestScript'' under ''Default Actions'' which contains --%26gt; Select All ---%26gt;Create Outlines. This action will select all the text frames in the document and Outlines all the text in the selected text frames.

APPLESCRIPT:

tell application ''Adobe Illustrator''

activate

do script ''TestScript'' from ''Default Actions''

end tell

Problem: When i run the applescript, script executes the action, until ''Select All'', it is not executing the second statement which is Create Outlines.

I might be missing some simple steps here. Any advise would be appreciated.

Rgds

JaiM

Executing Actions thru Applescript only...

If your goal is to convert text to outlines, you'd be better doing it all in Applescript instead of calling an action.

Executing Actions thru Applescript only...

Thanks Mark. Converting all text in the document to outline is part of my goal, i have to do few things before and after converting text to outline. I did try using Applescript to do this and had a major problem which freezes my illustrator.

When i run the applescript with a document containing normal text frame, everything works fine, but when i tried to use the same script when the text frame contains variable data, it freezes my illustrator.

Hence trying to use Actions?

Any advise will be much appreciated.

Thanks

JaiMS

I haven't run into any problems myself using applescript to convert to outlines, but I haven't tried it with variable data.

What is the code you were using?

Yes, I am facing issues only when the document contains variable data, if not, the script works fine. See the code below...

''I have some codes here to process variable data''

tell application ''Adobe Illustrator''

set countLayers to count every layer of document 1

repeat with i from 1 to countLayers

if visible of layer i of document 1 is false then

set visible of layer i of document 1 to true

end if

if locked of layer i of document 1 is true then

set locked of layer i of document 1 to false

end if

end repeat

convert to paths (every text frame of document 1)

end tell

Where is HTML help for uploading...

Hi Ravi and welcome to the RH community.

Now that you have seen the marvel that is the RH Server you need to create a help project using RoboHelp 8 (or you can also use RoboHelp 7 with the 7.0.3 patch installed). In RoboHelp 8 you will find two single source layouts called WebHelp Pro and FlashHelp Pro. Use the one according to whether you are created FlashHelp or WebHelp output. This will publish the help to the RoboHelp Server so you can see the projects in the Projects tab of the Administration Console.

A word of warning though. Check the file names in your RoboHelp project to ensure there is no %26amp;, ', %26lt; or %26gt; characters. If there are, your project will not publish correctly. Note this only affects the file names. Topic titles and TOC entries are OK.

Hey Colum,

thanks for your reply. As you have mentioned that ''you need to create a help project using RoboHelp 8....'' and ''In RoboHelp 8 you will find two single source layouts called WebHelp Pro and FlashHelp Pro....''.

So please help me out to locate that :

1. Where can I find Robo Help 8. (as I am now in Robo Help server).
2. How can I find the ''two single source layouts called WebHelp Pro and FlashHelp Pro...'' ???(as I cant trace how to open the these two single source layouts!! )

Please tell me about it.

Thanks in advnce.

- Ravi

RoboHelp 8 is a completely different application from RoboHelp Server 8. RoboHelp 8 is the application that is used to create the actual help files and publish them to the RoboHelp Server. You'll need to have RoboHelp 8 installed on your PC to enable you to do so. Once you have, you will see a Single Source Layouts pod inside which are the two ''pro'' layouts.

I hope you don't mind me asking but are you the one who is responsible for creating the help projects? If so, do you have experience of this? If not, install RoboHelp 8 and create a test project. You'll find the interface relatively easy to use but you can post specific queries to these forums.

---

Read the RoboColum(n).

Colum, thanks so much for your response.

I am new to Robo help but i dont think there will be any problm in learning it... So i am sure I will learn it with ease (with help of forums and net).

As I had mentioned earler, I have already installed RoboHelp SERVER 8 on my pc, so can I install RoboHelp 8 also on my PC, or do i need to install Robo Help 8 on another PC and call it from there ??

Whilst you can install both RoboHelp and RoboHelp Server on the same PC, as the name suggests it is normal to install RoboHelp Server on a server complete with (in the case of RoboHelp Server 8) Tomcat and the Java Runtime Environment. The purpose of the RoboHelp server is to allow you to run lots of different reports on the help file's usage.

My first question is whether you need the RoboHelp Server application at all. If all you want to do is produce a help file that can sit on a server you don't need RoboHelp Server and you certainly would not be the first person to fall down that hole. The RoboHelp application is a completely separate product from Robohelp Server and is purely used to create the help files and place them in the desired location.

I admire your confidence to get things working but can't help feeling that if you are asking these types of questions that you can a big mountain to climb. I'd strongly recommend you look for a training course before going any further. There are people who monitor these forums who can help here depending on where you are. If you'd let us know where you are, we'll see if we can put you in touch.

FB4 Migration Tip

Thanks to the help of several Adobe members I was able to successfully import a styled (.css) Flex 3 project into Flash Builder 4 and have it retain its aesthetic and functional attributes. I wanted to take a moment and share what I found with everyone, in case you may find yourself confronted with the same issues.

1.First, to bring in my Flex 3 project to Flash Builder 4 I needed to add a single line in my .css file:

@namespace ''library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo'';

FB4 Migration Tip

Hi

Glad to here it all went to plan.

Was just the same here.

After all the talk of things breaking it's good to hear a success story.

I used a similar approach to this, rather than using the compiler argument I just grabbed the css file from the halo components and included that above my other style sheets includes at the top on main.mxml. Im not sure if this just gives exactly the same result in the end, but it defiantly worked for me.

I know that almost all of the styles that were set by using the default.css (i think that was the file i used) and then overriding the values with subsequently included style may seem kind of redundant, but my thinking was, well at least when my custom style are being added they are working from the same base that they were expecting in sdk3.

All in all our projects transition to sdk4 has been very smooth. This is a large project (it's an intranet application for a uk architects and bespoke joiners, and when complete will be used at just about every stage of their workflow. I was expecting a lot more pain during the conversion than we had)

It's my opinion (and it's a very strong one) that the advantages of moving to sdk4 are more than worth the initial conversion.

At present the application uses a mix of sdk3 and 4. And this mix is quite deep. As time goes by more and more has been changed to sdk4. It was my initial intention to get the project working as was, then continue to use new features as and when they were advantageous. What has happened though, is that having found new sections of the application written in sdk4 being so much better, easier to read, flexible, that we've started re-writing perfectly useable sections of the app over to sdk4. Trust me when I say we wouldn閳ユ獩 have done his extra work if there wasn't some pay off.

Anyway, good to hear how things went for you

Cheers

FB4 Migration Tip

Glenn,

There is always the lure to immediately embrace the newest

technologies. I'd been considerably eager to see what Flash Builder

had to offer and it does, indeed, provide a broader landscape of

possibilities. After everything has been said and done I believe the

Flash Builder team should consider a Migration Assistant to help

transition Flex 3 projects to the Flash Builder 4 code architecture.

Upon importing a Flex 3 project the user could be asked if they would

like to formally convert the entire codebase into a native FB 4

project. It would then go through the document, possibly stopping

occasionally asking for approval to do something, and update all

relevant code so it becomes a true FB4 app. There could also be a list

provided after this conversion that specifically outlines all changes

made.

I've been working in Flex for a number of months now. Prior to this I

was using the Flash IDE. Upon exploring Flex, the advantages were

clear and substantial. Flex is absolutely outstanding for both

designers and developers in my opinion. The issue, however, is that

Flex users should be, above all, anxious to migrate to Flash Builder

4, not worried. If a Flex 3 developer has finished a huge project

(like you and I apparently) in Flex 3 we shouldn't have to go through

all of our code trying to figure out what needs to be changed. There

should be something that helps developers do that automatically.

Technology is relentlessly changing. Monthly, weekly, daily even.

That's great but for something like Flex, new versions shouldn't have

developers searching everywhere trying to find patchwork solutions.

The folks over at the Flash Builder 4 team have been great assisting

both myself and the multitude of other users with their issues, so I'm

pretty confident things will unfold well.

Different Tooltip style for different...

Hey all,

I've a set a general style for all Tooltips and want to use a different Tooltip style for a particular image component:

ToolTip

{

border-skin: ClassReference(''skins.customToolTip1'');

color: #ffffff;

font-weight: normal;

}

ToolTip.myImage

{

border-skin: ClassReference(''skins.customToolTip2'');

color: #ffffff;

font-weight: normal;

}

Is there a way to do this?

cheers

Different Tooltip style for different...

Hi,

Id selector will be only in Flex 4. See http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/CSS+Advanced+Selectors

If you use Flex3, you only can manually set this style to your toolTip in handler of toolTipCreate event.

Different Tooltip style for different...

Thanks Natasha.

I did look at that event but couldn't figure out how to return a tooltip instance with the style set - but just figured it out:

private function toolTipCreateHandler(e:ToolTipEvent):void{

var t:ToolTip = new ToolTip();

t.styleName = ''tooltip'' + model.myCurrentProperty;

e.toolTip = t;?// this is the bit I was missing!

}

%26lt;style%26gt;

ToolTip

{

border-skin: ClassReference(''skins.defaultToolTip'');

color: #ffffff;

font-weight: normal;

}

.tooltip1

{

border-skin: ClassReference(''skins.customToolTip1'');

}

.tooltip2

{

border-skin: ClassReference(''skins.customToolTip2'');

}

%26lt;/style%26gt;

Looking forward to Flex 4's final release!

cheers

Problem printing to pdf with marks &...

When i check 'All printer's marks' on the print dialog screen the preview whites out and i get error message 'the pages selected to print are all blank'.

Does anyone know why this is?

Problem printing to pdf with marks %26...

perhaps that is true, perhaps you hve selected an artboard that hase no content and perhaps you are not aware of it.

Screen shot of the document and layers and appearance panel would be good as well as one with the artboard tool selected.

Problem printing to pdf with marks %26...

I have only one artboard open, the artwork is basic with no appearance adjustments in a single layer. here are 3 images of the problem.

You clearly have two artboards showing but it says there is only one. I would cut and paste into a new empty document.

Just one artboard. The problem only arises when i check 'All marks printers marks', when i uncheck the box the preview reappeares and i get the error message 'Cant print the illustration'

I have restarted, reset preferences etc but to no availe.

Can you attached the file here?

The print preview should not be doing that under any circumstance that I can think of.

see attached images 'b' and 'c' above.

I see those.... but they don't help much. They are just screen shots of the print dialog.. don't show anything about file constructions really. Can you attach the Illustrator file showing the issue here?

You are right one artboard I do not know what I was thinking.

I have seen the problem once posted here before, but I cannot recall

the cause and cure.

But you can try copying the artwork to a new document saving that

document with a new name and then see if it is still happening.

You might try to do a search on the forum for your problem.

Capture issues (black screen)

Hi

one of my friends just bought a new pc (i7 920, asus p6t, 6 GiB dd3) for doing video editing suff with premiere pro cs4. now, he cannot caputre anything from his video camera through firewire cable. after some minutes capture screen show corrupted images and then it turns black. from this point he must reboot the pc or he cannot capure anything. installing update 4.1.0 made things worse: the capture screen turns immediately black. premiere says that no frames have been captured. the strange thing is that on my pc everything works fine with the same camera. any ideas?

Capture issues (black screen)

Likely the sequence settings do not match the DV material or the camera is not properly set to DV, or DV was not used during shooting.

Capture issues (black screen)

no. as I said i can capture on my own pc without errors

In that case, are you sure that the sequence settings on your friends machine are correct? He may try with Scenalyzer, a much better capture tool than PR. Does your friend have other firewire devices connected?

sequence settings? I think they are the same. we did not change any settings and he does not have other firewire devices. we tried to capture something with vista's capturing tool (x64 sp1) with the same result: first image corruption and later black screen. we will try scenalyzer

If you both use the same settings, first let him try a repair install. If that does not work, look at the link below, click on the second link in that post and report the results asked for in the second part of that message (Process Exporer, DXDIAG, MSINFO and the like.)

Post inline graphics into the text. How?

Hello my friends!

1. I want to know how can I post graphics into text like in this manual http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs2at_anchoredob.html

What commands I should to use? Could you give me an example of code?

2. Also, how can I make the text wrapped around the posted graphics?

I use CS3.

Thank you!

Post inline graphics into the text. How?

Thanks for your answer, Thomas B. Nielsen!

But seems like your example isn't working properly like in this http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs2at_anchoredob.html example. I mean, if your text moved, your graphic doesn't moved with it

They should, the first one is placed inline, moving at the basline.

The second is placed relative and will move down if you add lines above it's anchor marker.

The script is for Indesign CS3

Ohh, seems like I've understood. Thank you!

FM8 and DITA: attribute ''rotate'' in...

Hi there,

I tried to add the attribute ''rotate'' for table entries. The Developer's guide and the additional reference guide were a good help here. Everything you need for your dtd and read/write rules is listed there.

%26lt;!ATTLIST entry

...

rotate %yesorno; #IMPLIED

...

%26gt;

element ''entry''

{

...

attribute ''rotate'' is fm property rotate;

...

}

In the EDD, the attribute has not to be added, I think.

But anyway: I have added this attribute to some table entries. And now I always get the error message that the attribute 'rotate' was not declared for the element 'entry', when I open the xml-file in FrameMaker.

Does anyone know, what else I have to do?

Thanks in advance,

Anna

FM8 and DITA: attribute ''rotate'' in...

Hmmm, just answered this question myself

I just noticed that it the problem is due to the external dtd that is given in the read/write rules ...

There is a wrong reference given.

Transparent area

OK, I think this is a simple question but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere!

I'm overlaying my Flash Player with a 'subtitlesArea' where subtitles will appear. Dumb question, but how in Actionscript 3.0 do you set the area to be transparent?

My code for setting the area is:

??subtitlesArea.x = player.x;
?subtitlesArea.y = player.y;
?subtitlesArea.width = player.width;
?subtitlesArea.height = player.height;

Is it sth as simple as adding:

??subtitlesArea.transparency = 1;

Working with small images or low res?

I have 2 images,

Last week my client gave me an image that?is 8'' x 8'' at 72 dpi, That I need to place on a poster at the size of 20'' x 20''. I told them that I needed a better image, but that was all they had..?So they sent the art to the printer and the proof came back and the image looks bad.

So today they sent me a second image and it is 4.5 '' x 4.5'' at 300 dpi.

My question is will this print any better then the orginal image and is there anything I can do to make this new image work?

TIA

Karleen

Working with small images or low res?

You are pretty well stuck with the original quality of the picture.?Unlike TV detective stories there is little one can do to increase picture quality.?A litle bump in contrast and shapening may help some, but will add to problem if blown up much.

DPI is a printer spec., with photoshop you need to work in PPI (pixel per inch). How will they look - best quick test is just enlarge them on screen to see the difference.?Since the first one is twice the size you would need to enlarge it say 200% and enlarge the 2nd one 400% and see how they compare.?You know how the first image printed, so you should be able to guess how the second image will print at the same paper size.

Working with small images or low res?

The first was 576 x 576 px (= 972KB)

The second was 1350 x 1350 px (= 5.21MB) so it should be better.

But not if they just tweaked the first one to ge more pixels interpolated.

As John points out, the second should be better. When up-rezing, you might want to consider ''stair-stepping'' the interpolating at about an increase of 10% per operation, until you have the desired size. This will take a bit more time, but is likely to yield better results. Many seem to prefer an increase of 20%, and are satisfied with the results. Maybe try both, and judge the two results. Be prepared for less than stellar output. If you and the client felt that the first was at all close, maybe ''better'' will do.

Good luck,

Hunt

PS it amazes me how clients can find things that did not exist, only after they see the results of the first attempt. It happens to me all of the time too.

wenn ich das mit after effects erstellte intro weglasse funzt es. ich habe das intro als .avi importiert. was kann ich da falsch gemacht haben? ich hatte die after effects cs4 trial drauf. diese habe ich aber nach lizenserhalt deinstalliert und ae mit aus der erhaltenen dvd neu installiert.

als was w鐪塺det ihr das intro speichern um es in premiere einzubinden? und warum?

In dem Fall ist es m鏋歡lich dass der benutzte CODEC zu Schwierigkeiten leitet. Untersuche mal mit GSpot welcher Codec benutzt wird und wenn das nicht MS DV AVI typ2 ist, sondern Lagarith oder HuffYuv, dann kannst du einfach diese codecs von dem Internet holen und installieren. Wenn es ein sonstiges Codec ist, musst du konvertieren nach MS DV AVI typ2. Dazu kannst du Google benutzen um ein Konverter zu finden.

Wenn du jetzt wieder AE zur Verf鐪塯ung hast, kannst du nochmals exportieren von AE, aber bitte nur als MS DV AVI typ2, denn das klappt am Besten.

Hast du die L鏋歴ung gefunden? In dem Fall w鐪塺de ich dich erkenntlich sein wenn du mir die Punkte f鐪塺 die korrekte Antwort geben w鐪塺dest. 鑴篵rigens w鐩瞨e es vern鐪塶ftiger, wenn du in der Zukunft diese oder 鐩瞙nliche Fragen in English stellen w鐪塺dest, denn die Chance auf einer Antwort wird einfach viel gr鏋歴ser. Die meisten Leute hier verstehen Englisch, aber mit Deutsch haben sie meistens Schwierigkeiten. M鏋歡licherweise w鐪塺de Google Translate dich dabei behilflich sein, falls Englisch nicht deiner St鐩瞨ke ist.

es gab ein problem bei dem intro das ich mit after effects erstellt habe. habe ich das intro (avi) durch etwas anderes wie eine psd datei ersetzt funktionierte das rendern einwandfrei. in ae rederte ich dann das video in eine mov datei und ich hatte keine probleme mehr in premiere zu exportieren.

ich schreibe in deutsch weil ich deutscher bin und mein deutsch besser als mein englisch ist. ich habe auch kein deutsches forum bei adobe gefunden und dachte mir es wird schon den ein oder anderen deutschsprachigen user hier geben. danke nochmal

Auf einer PC w鐪塺de ich nie ein MOV Formatt verwenden, wenn DV AVI typ2 vorhanden ist. Es gibt einfach zu viele Probleme mit Quicktime. Ich bin aber Froh dass es geklappt hat. Wenn du mir jetzt noch die Punkte geben w鐪塺dest f鐪塺 meine Antworte, bin ich dich erkenntlich. Einfach auf den richtigen Stelle clicken unter meine Post.

Not able to Test Digital Signature ??

Created a simple form in designer 8.2 with two fields and one Signature field.

It is not allowing me to sign in the PDF Preview mode.

Form Render Type is Dynamic XML.

File type is xdp.

if i reader extend it and open it, its works

can anyone advise on this?

Also if i try to upload this form to the 7.2 form manager, i'm not able to edit any form fields even before signing...

Need someone advise...

Not able to Test Digital Signature ??

As far as i know you cannot sign non-reader extended PDF without Acrobat.

Also you have to save a copy of your PDF when signing.

I don't think you will be able to sign a PDF in the preview mode of the Designer.

You sign them in Adobe without having to pass then through Reader Extensions.

Not able to Test Digital Signature ??

Never mind. I forgot to select the ''Basic form fill in'' option while applying Usage Rights.. Its working now.

One more issue:

I'm able to sign the doc now; but after submission all the fields are back to editable including the signature field..

Do we need to control this through code??

On the properties tab of the signature field you have and option to lock fields after signing.

You can either lock all, lock none or choose a collection of fields to lock or not to lock.

Its pretty flexible.

If you want your form to have multiple signatures and be used in reader 9 you'll have to use this property no prevent the locking of the other signature fields otherwise you won't be able to use multiple signatures (even if you certify the form first).

Locking edit pages

I'm designing quite a large web app, which will be used by numerous peole at the same time.

Is there a way I can lock the page if someone is on it?

What the best way to go about it?

Thanks

Locking edit pages

Let's see... what do you mean by ''lock the page?''?That's generally not the approach that is taken in web-apps.?Let me explain . . .

Any time that you allow more than one user to update records in a database at the same time, you must ensure that conflicting changes do not occur, such that one user's changes do not overwrite another's.?There are two ways to do that:?optimistic and pessimistic:

• The ''pessimistic'' approach is the one that you're describing:?you ''pessimistically'' assume that two users will be updating the same record at the same time, so you ''lock'' the record to prevent that.

• The ''optimistic'' (or, ''opportunistic'') approach harbors warm, fuzzy feelings about human nature and assumes that, in fact, out of however-many thousands of records, the odds are actually extremely small that any two users would in fact be updating exactly the same record at exactly the same time.?It therefore allows the user to compose his changes, then checks to see if conflicting changes did occur right before updating the record.?The record is locked only for a few milliseconds:?''lock the record, check for conflict, post changes if no conflict occurred, unlock the record, then report back to the user.''?If a conflict is detected, the user must be informed and must resolve the issue.
  

Optimistic locking strategies are most often used in web applications because of the asynchronous nature of the HTTP protocol, as well as the need to support potentially thousands of users.

Probably the most common approach that is used for change-detection is a ''change counter'' field.?It's a simple integer, and when you retrieve the record you remember what it is.?Then, later, your SQL UPDATE statement looks something like this (assuming you ''know'' that the change-counter had the value 123456):

UPDATE blahblah ...

?SET ... blahblah ... , change_counter = change_counter + 1

?WHERE ... blahblah AND ... change_counter = 123456

The statement will fail if the value of the change-counter isn't what you expected it to be, having updated none of the other fields.

Some applications also use a ''lock field,'' which is a boolean field that can be True or False.?Variations include a ''lock timestamp,'' designed to automatically provide for lock-timeout when records are abandoned (a distinct possibility).?Applications check this field upon retrieving the record and turn-away users from records that are now locked.?But some mechanism must be provided to handle ''stale locks,'' and the overhead of these mechanisms can be considerable.

Typically, it is necessary to use both a ''lock field'' and a ''change counter'' to prevent conflicts.

Do other mechanisms exist in the context of ColdFusion??Certainly yes.?But memory considerations remain, as does the need to be able to periodically restart the web-server processes without thereby losing change-control information.?Time and overhead are also an important issue:?''optimism'' is efficient while ''pessimism'' is costly.

Locking edit pages

I prefer the indifferent approach.?If Person A can overwrite Person B's data 5 minutes later, why invest time and effort into preventing him from doing it 5 nanoseconds later.?If the data is the same, it doesn't matter at all.?If the data is different, how do you know who was right?

I hope that was intended as humor.

The issue here, obviously, is when two people (unbeknownst to one another) are entering a record at the same time.

Both edits appear to ''succeed,'' but one of them overwrites the other.?Nobody knows.

Obviously this is an unacceptable situation, and this is precisely what the change-counter logic will successfully address.?Both users upon beginning their edit-sessions capture the same change-counter value.?When the first user makes his update, it succeeds and the counter is incremented.?When the second user tries, it fails because the change-counter is not the same as it was.

''Indifference'' has nothing to do with it:?it's a serious bug that might not be detected in testing (if you actually do any) or if you only do this for a hobby in ''casual'' use.

Allowing Right Mouse Click in Adobe...

Hi Lisa,

I am assuming you are using Captivate 3 (Captivate 4 has a right-click option). With a bit of work and coding you can get right-clicking to work fairly well in a Captivate 3 simulation. I would suggest taking a look at http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content%26amp;task=view%26amp;id=12%26amp;Itemi d=29

There are all kinds of things that can get in the way of this being successful, but it's better than having no options.

Hope that helps.

Passing coordinates relative to stage...

Hi

I am so very stuck, and need your help with relative coordinates please.

I am building a project where I have 15 'islands' inside one big 'ocean' movie clip.

I created navigation buttons so you can explore the Ocean movie clip and look around the islands.

my problem comes when i want to 'zoom into an island'

So basically on the stage i have a movie clip called- Ocean_mc, and inside it are 15 movie clips, one of them (for this example) is a movie clip called GreenIsland_mc.

Passing coordinates relative to stage...

Ok, I managed to solve it myself?

Basically I think I manually created the .localToGlobal thing (but i might be wrong on that).

1) I simply defined the ocean_mc original coordinates-

It wasn't a straight forward 0,0 because my movie was not properly centred, so I simply did a trace statement to find where the ocean_mc thinks it is.

2) Then I defined the original coordinates of a central zoom point for the island-

This was done by a non-sophisticated trial and error where I clicked to zoom in the island to set coordinates, and simply changed them little by little till i found the right place on stage, I am sure there is a beautiful smooth way to calculate those coordinates but I found the dirty trial and error way very quick

3) When an Island was clicked to be zoomed, I checked the placement of the ocean_mc clip in relation to it's original place and added that difference to the island's original centre points.

That's it.

In code terms-

1)

// So I started by setting original coordinates for the ocean_mc movie clip-

var origOceaonX:Number = -200;

var origOceaonY:Number = -310;

2)

// Then setting the original coordinates for the zoomed in island

// (this is basically the coordinated that will place the island movie clip centre stage if it is clicked before anything is moved )-

var origIslandX:Number = 180;

var origIslandY:Number = 270;

// and then I defined 4 new vars-

// two to hold a new adjustments for the centre point for the islands-

var centrePointAdjstX:Number;

var centrePointAdjstY:Number;

// and two for setting the new centre point for the islands-

var newCentrePointX:Number;

var newCentrePointY:Number;

3)

// and then when ever the zoom in button was clicked I looked where the ocean_mc movie clip was in relation to it's starting point and simply adjusted // the island's centre coordinates accordingly

FDF does not send textfields over 255...

hi,

if I try to send a form with text more than 255 chars is does not send anything (submit.php#FDF).

and furthermore: RFT codes are not submitted.

has sombody an idea?

thanks

edgar

FDF does not send textfields over 255...

Which kind of RFT codes? I have never seen RFT codes in a PDF document.

FDF does not send textfields over 255...

I mean RTF (Rich format Text). If something is bold or underlined.

FDF does not send it. only ASCII with no format info and max 255 chars. Why?

If you are using the Rich Text type of field, you need ot exprot as XFDF or XML. Then the file will have both the plain text field data and the Rich Text field data.

yes, true-works. and what about image data?

Problems with ArrayLists

Hi!

I have one service in blazeds thas has 2 methods:

public String test(String x){
?return(''one'');
?}

public String test(ArrayList%26lt;String%26gt; x){
return(''[1]'');
}

When I invoke those methods, using for instance blazemonster, the first method is always called, even when I put one array of Strings in the parameter!!

Anyone have one idea about this problem?

thanks in advance,

Rui

Problems with ArrayLists

Hi. ActionScript types do not map directly to Java types which makes it difficult to support method overloading where two methods have the same number of arguments but the arguments are of different types. As a result, having two methods with the same name and same number of args in your service is not supported. A bug was logged for this awhile back but it got deferred and then closed so I don't see this behavior changing any time soon.

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12726

Hope that helps.

I know that Actionscript types do not map directly to java types ... but when we use AMF0(flash remoting) it was possible to call overloaded methods in Java without any problem

Hi I am new to the CS2 indesign and was picking things up fine, however I have hit a glitch. Whenever I open a document I have previously constructed the images seem to be converted to extremely low res files. Previously the doucments were all fine and correct showing hi res imagery, this happens with anything I now open, I can't remember conciously changing anything, can anyone point me in the right direction to 'fix' this?

What is best way to get FH cmyk file...

Hi,

What is the best way of converting the colours in a complex freehand file with approx 40 colours over to rgb when they are cmyk ? I have found that as cmyk, they are displaying wrong in Flash8 when imported to Library, e.g. 100 0 0 0 is nothing like pure cyan when in Flash, but convert it to rgb and its a lot better.

I have a map of many routes featuring all these colours to import into Flash8 library, then these individual routes each to take into Flash8 library separately.

Freehand has an export to Flash but with no rgb option.

Freehand 9 does not have a save as rgb command.

I am with 9 but if only MX can assist here then I could open into MX then do it from there.

Envirographics

What is best way to get FH cmyk file...

Have you tried this method?

1. Save as new file.

2. With your usual color management preferences selected, run Xtras%26gt;Color%26gt;'Name all colors'.

3. In color swatches list, select all colors. From swatches pop-up menu 'Make RGB'.

4. In Preferences%26gt;Color, set color management settings to 'None'. The RGB colors should look about the same as they did with color management on.

Now you should be able to export to Flash with RGB colors that look quite close to your CMYK version of the file.

This should work the same in FH9 or FHMX. I hope it does the trick for you.

IF condition to see if a function or...

I have a movie clip which is brought on to the stage by a tween function called introTween. After the introTween has finished, it has an eventhandler inside it which calls on 2 new tween functions to start. These are tweenX function which contains the myTweenX tween and tweenY function which contains the myTweenY tween. these functions loop round to keep the movie clip floating along the bottom of the stage. The movie clip can be dragged by the user.

The problem I have is that when the user drags the movie clip during the introTween the dragIt function is called (see below) and when called its looking to stop the myTweenX and myTweenY tweens. However, because the introTween function hasn't finished, and thus hasn't called the tweenX and tweenY functions...then the dragIt function can't find myTweenX and myTweenY to stop().

Any ideas how I would go about solving this problem? Is there some sort of IF condition I can put in the dragIt function which looks at whether the tweenX and tweenY functions have started or even the myTweenX and myTweenY tweens have started?

Wow! I used the word tween in that explanation a lot.

ActionScript Code:IF condition to see if a function or...

You can probably just use status variables that you set true for the tweens when they start (and false when they finish if that's involved as well).

Currently I have files strcutured like this: %26lt;main disk%26gt;\%26lt;year%26gt;\%26lt;month%26gt;\%26lt;filename%26gt;.cr2 and I would like to move these to %26lt;different disk%26gt;\%26lt;year%26gt;\%26lt;month%26gt;\%26lt;filename%26gt;.cr2

The Export functions look as if they will put them all in to one big folder??Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.

There are several approaches to this problem. You could do this via the Folders panel in LR. You can do just about everything in the Folders panel that you can do in Explorer or Finder. Just create folder and drag and drop.

Another way is to do this outside LR use Explorer (Windows) or FInder (Mac). after you're done then go back into LR and tell LR where to find the moved files. Depending on how many you have this could be a bit tedious.

Another method is to choose the files you want then Export them as a Catalog. When you do this be sure to include the option to export the negatives. Point the new catalog at you other drive. It will recreate the folder structure during the export. Then remove the images from your present catalog. Don't delete from disk just remove. Now import from catalog and choose the newly exported catalog. This time choose the option to add the files without moving them. Once you are sure everything is back and is fine you can use Explorer or Finder to go into your original file structure and delete the files that were moved to the new drive.?Be careful to only choose the moved files. If you are separating the RAWs out this should be relatively easy.

I hope that helps!

Hi Gene.?Thanks so much for your quick reply.?I should have mentioned There are 6000 RAW files in about 500 folders that I want to move.?This renders your first 2 solutions useless.?Your final solution was spot on though - I didn't realise that exporting to catalogue would keep my directory structure.?So as I speak Lightroom is churning through my files doing exactly what I want*.?So thanks very much for the help - considert his question answered!

* One thing I have noticed is that a couple of jpgs have crept into the newly created folders.?Not a big problem but strange.?The Smart Collection I am exporting is correct (filetype = RAW).?The jpgs are definitely standard JPG (ie not RAWs with the wrong extension).?Again not a problem just a suprising mistake by LR.

Yes. With 6,000 images in 500 folders a catalog export is the way to go.

Interesting that the JPEGs snuck in. Probably just a hiccup since LR is usually good about its filtering algorithms.

Good luck!

I have worked out the rogue JPGs.?Even with the Smart Collection set to display just RAW it is displaying some images that are listed as ''%26lt;filename%26gt;.CR2+JPG''.?In explorer the file is 2 separate files one that is RAW and one that is JPG.?For some reason it is diplaying them as merged in lightroom and therefore they (the JPGs) are being included in the export.?I did notice in the preferences for Import an option ''Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos''.?This is not ticked by default therefore I guess this needs to be ticked and a new imported done

I have further investigated and it is something to do with ''Side Car Files'' - whatever that is!

When you set your camera to shoot RAW+JPEG every press of the shutter records a RAW file and a JPEG file. The names are identical but the extensions differ. This option allows you to choose whether you want to see them as separate files or not.

The sidecar file reference is about the .XMP file. Since you cannot write to a proprietary RAW file format all changes are written to the .XMP file (or sidecar file). So if you have_IMG223.CR2 in your catalog when you make a change it gets recorded in _IMG223.XMP. Changes to a JPEG, however, are written to the file directly. To avoid the whole sidecar issue I regularly convert my proprietary RAW formats to DNG which can have the data written to it.
