Hi
Is it possible to make a vertical scroller slightly shorter
than the content it is acting on? For example I want to make to use
a ScrollPane but i want its scroller to be 20%26amp; shorter than the
ScrollPane, is it possible?

url glitches: Contribute 3.1 Mac
Hi,
I'm using Contribute 3.1 to edit some pages on my site. Added
a link to a url that includes the colon symbol (:) On uploading the
page for preview, the colon is transformed to ''%3A'' in the source
code, and the link. Naturally, the link doesn't take me to where I
want to go.
I have tried entering the url through the link properties
panel and through text edit directly in the page code. Either way
the colon changes to %3A on upload.
Insights/Advice anyone?
Thanks, Pameye look

swf not showing all objects in Flash 8
Hello - This has been happening since I upgraded to Flash 8
on the Mac. When I create a flash file and hit ctrl + enter to view
it, everything is there and works correctly. However, when I get
out of Flash and just try to play the swf file, some of the
elements don't show up. Sometimes it's text, sometimes its a logo
or something. Does anyone have any idea what causes this?

Perhaps the default player used to preview SWF is an older
standalone or older
browser player. They don't support any of the new features,
hence not all items
can be visible while playback.

Centering Pages in Browser
I have a web site made mostly from a template, but some pages
are just made with layers not from a template. I would like to have
my page centered when viewed in a browser. Right now when I preview
in dreamweaver, all the pages are justified to the left. Any ideas?

Do you mean the template code? Sorry, I'm new at this. What
code do you need to see?
I don't know if geragotelis has the same question I have, but
maybe. I'm sort of new to Dreamweaver, and can figure out how to
center a table to a page, but how about a layer? How do you center
a layer so that it will actually appear in the center of all
browsers? About the best I can do is guess the percentage from the
left. Isn't there an easy way as with centering tables?
Hi,
Using css there are two techniques that I use to center a
design. The choice is a matter of preference but both do the job
well enough.
Start by wrapping your entire content in a div and name it
something semantic, like ''wrapper''. The code shouls look like this:
%26lt;body%26gt;
%26lt;div id=''wrapper''%26gt;%26lt;/div%26gt;
%26lt;/body%26gt;
Then add the following css to center the content.
#wrapper{
width: 720px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
The width is whatever you require based on your design. The
margin uses 0 for the top and bottom margin values and auto to
center the wrapper in the browser viewport. Win IE does not behave
as it should here and pre V7 browsers when in quirks mode will not
apply the auto margins setting. IE also misunderstands text-align:
center; it basically centers everything including the text when you
use this. However, you can use this to your advantage but centering
everything in the body tag with text-align: center; You can then
set the text alignment back to the left by adding text-align: left;
to the #wrapper, like this:
#wrapper{
width: 720px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}
The body css looks like this:
body{
text-align: center;
}
This code is is hack but no too intrusive. However, if you
don't want to use a hack then you can use the second option, which
uses relative positioning and margin settings to center the page.
Here is the code:
#wrapper{
width: 720px;
position: relative;
left: 50%
}
This code sets the left edge of the wrapper 50% across the
viewport, or in other words in the center of the viewport. To get
the page centered you apply a negative margin to the wrapper that
is half the total width of the wrapper. In this example that is
margin-left: -360px;
The complete code looks like this:
#wrapper{
width: 720px;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -360px;
}

Hi,
Referring to Murry's quote ''No need to do all that. You can
do it without hacks''.
Please read the entire thread. I offered two solutions, one
of which does not use hacks.
Also, the ''no need to do all that'' seems an odd comment if it
refers to either of my code snippets. Both snippets are short and
will validate. Please let me see any css that you may have that
achieves the same thing with less code. I am always open to new and
exciting ways of achieving great things with minimal css.
Nick Barling
You say their are two ways to do it, but only one of the ways
you present
will work if there are absolutely positioned elements
involved.
You say the final state for this method is this -
The complete code looks like this:
#wrapper{
width: 720px;
text-align:left;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -360px;
}
I say that the better way is -
#wrapper{
width: 720px;
text-align:left;
position: relative;
margin:0 auto;
}
No left:50%, no negative margins. So, no need to do all that.

Win IE pre v7 in quirks mode does not apply auto margin
settings correctly. Are you implying in your code snippet that by
positioning the wrapper relatively this will cause pre V7 Win IE
browsers to render the auto margin setting correctly?
Saying that only one of my examples works when absolute
positioning is involved is misleading.
I fully understand that absolutely positioned elements take
their positioning reference point from their nearest positioned
ancestor and, indeed, if the designer wished to absolutely position
an element/s using the wrapper div as a reference point then that
wrapper div would need to be positioned. However, to center a
design as I described in my first snippet works perfectly within
the context of a simple case of centering the wrapper as I
described. One could quite easily absolutely position any number of
elements within other positioned elements within the wrapper div if
they so wished.
As an aside I think it is also worth pointing out to the less
capable fledgling css coders the reasoning behind any suggested
solutions as well as any known references that may help understand
the more intricate details of css. I have certainly, in the past,
found out the hard way how many seemingly simple css code additions
had a fundamental effect on my designs way beyond the issue that I
was trying to solve at hand. I have come to appreciate any advice
that also contains detail and reasoning/implications on the code
that is offered as a solution.
I am not suggesting that you do not do this but merely that
we all should offer reasoning/implications/considerations in our
code offerings.
My final point is to say that I don't think there is a better
way, in the context of what you offer in preference to my solution.
I would say that they are different and really make not a lot of
difference to the designer. You pays your money and you makes your
choice!

%26gt; Hi,
%26gt;
%26gt; Using css there are two techniques that I use to center
a design. The
%26gt; choice
%26gt; is a matter of preference but both do the job well
enough.
%26gt;
%26gt; Start by wrapping your entire content in a div and name
it something
%26gt; semantic,
%26gt; like ''wrapper''. The code shouls look like this:
%26gt;
%26gt; %26lt;body%26gt;
%26gt; %26lt;div id=''wrapper''%26gt;%26lt;/div%26gt;
%26gt; %26lt;/body%26gt;
%26gt;
%26gt; Then add the following css to center the content.
%26gt;
%26gt; #wrapper{
%26gt; width: 720px;
%26gt; margin: 0 auto;
%26gt; }
%26gt;
%26gt; The width is whatever you require based on your design.
The margin uses 0
%26gt; for
%26gt; the top and bottom margin values and auto to center the
wrapper in the
%26gt; browser
%26gt; viewport. Win IE does not behave as it should here and
pre V7 browsers
%26gt; when in
%26gt; quirks mode will not apply the auto margins setting. IE
also
%26gt; misunderstands
%26gt; text-align: center; it basically centers everything
including the text
%26gt; when
%26gt; you use this. However, you can use this to your
advantage but centering
%26gt; everything in the body tag with text-align: center; You
can then set the
%26gt; text
%26gt; alignment back to the left by adding text-align: left;
to the #wrapper,
%26gt; like
%26gt; this:
%26gt;
%26gt; #wrapper{
%26gt; width: 720px;
%26gt; margin: 0 auto;
%26gt; text-align: left;
%26gt; }
%26gt;
%26gt; The body css looks like this:
%26gt;
%26gt; body{
%26gt; text-align: center;
%26gt; }
%26gt;
%26gt; This code is is hack but no too intrusive. However, if
you don't want to
%26gt; use
%26gt; a hack then you can use the second option, which uses
relative positioning
%26gt; and
%26gt; margin settings to center the page. Here is the code:
%26gt;
%26gt; #wrapper{
%26gt; width: 720px;
%26gt; position: relative;
%26gt; left: 50%
%26gt; }
%26gt;
%26gt; This code sets the left edge of the wrapper 50% across
the viewport, or in
%26gt; other words in the center of the viewport. To get the
page centered you
%26gt; apply
%26gt; a negative margin to the wrapper that is half the total
width of the
%26gt; wrapper.
%26gt; In this example that is margin-left: -360px;
%26gt;
%26gt; The complete code looks like this:
%26gt;
%26gt; #wrapper{
%26gt; width: 720px;
%26gt; position: relative;
%26gt; left: 50%;
%26gt; margin-left: -360px;
%26gt; }
%26gt;

Hi,
Referring to Murry's quote ''No need to do all that. You can
do it without hacks''.
Please read the entire thread. I offered two solutions, one
of which does not use hacks.
Also, the ''no need to do all that'' seems an odd comment if it
refers to either of my code snippets. Both snippets are short and
will validate. Please let me see any css that you may have that
achieves the same thing with less code. I am always open to new and
exciting ways of achieving great things with minimal css.
Nick Barling
You say their are two ways to do it, but only one of the ways
you present
will work if there are absolutely positioned elements
involved.
You say the final state for this method is this -
The complete code looks like this:
#wrapper{
width: 720px;
text-align:left;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -360px;
}
I say that the better way is -
#wrapper{
width: 720px;
text-align:left;
position: relative;
margin:0 auto;
}
No left:50%, no negative margins. So, no need to do all that.

Win IE pre v7 in quirks mode does not apply auto margin
settings correctly. Are you implying in your code snippet that by
positioning the wrapper relatively this will cause pre V7 Win IE
browsers to render the auto margin setting correctly?
Saying that only one of my examples works when absolute
positioning is involved is misleading.
I fully understand that absolutely positioned elements take
their positioning reference point from their nearest positioned
ancestor and, indeed, if the designer wished to absolutely position
an element/s using the wrapper div as a reference point then that
wrapper div would need to be positioned. However, to center a
design as I described in my first snippet works perfectly within
the context of a simple case of centering the wrapper as I
described. One could quite easily absolutely position any number of
elements within other positioned elements within the wrapper div if
they so wished.
As an aside I think it is also worth pointing out to the less
capable fledgling css coders the reasoning behind any suggested
solutions as well as any known references that may help understand
the more intricate details of css. I have certainly, in the past,
found out the hard way how many seemingly simple css code additions
had a fundamental effect on my designs way beyond the issue that I
was trying to solve at hand. I have come to appreciate any advice
that also contains detail and reasoning/implications on the code
that is offered as a solution.
I am not suggesting that you do not do this but merely that
we all should offer reasoning/implications/considerations in our
code offerings.
My final point is to say that I don't think there is a better
way, in the context of what you offer in preference to my solution.
I would say that they are different and really make not a lot of
difference to the designer. You pays your money and you makes your
choice!

Screen Dumps - Reducing the size
Hi. I am doing up a User Guide and need to use a load of
screen dumps of the software. I do 'Print Screen'' Command and the
paste into Fireworks. I then reduce the image down. However, all
the pixels start to look very bad and i cannot get a nice picture
to post into Framemaker. I can actually past the screen dump into
Word, reduce it, and it seems to maintain the pixel qulity.
Any assistance would be appreciated. NOTE: Framemaker or
Photshop forum was not up and running, hence i come here.Screen Dumps - Reducing the size

You might need to up the resolution before you export it to
Framemaker.
When you resize the screen print, use Modify/Canvas/Image
Size. Change
the dimensions and/or resolution, deselect the 'Resample
Image' option.
You will have to experiment a little to get the results yo
are after
but, this will help.
Freehand, if you have it, would be more suited to this job.

Hi-res bitmaps implanted into PDF will print well. They are
likely to be
displayed not so well sometimes (that's the problem of
Acrobat
interpolation, not yours). Whell, as long as I understand the
situation,
you should take screencaps as big as possible, then probably
adjust its
resolution (without any interpolation), then import it into
page layout
application like FrameMaker.

You do NOT change the resolution of a screen capture. It is
what it is. You
can't increase the resolution (as there are no pixels to add

The print size is what your publishing software will see.
Start with a 1280x1024 pixel screen capture.
Alter the image print size without resampling to 6x4 inches,
save or
export the file and insert it into your publishing
application, it will
be 6x4 inches and you didn't lose a pixel. When printed it
might be hard
to read or see detail because of it's size. It also won't be
blurry or
distorted.
In Fireworks it is still a 1280x1024 pixel image.
I agree it's not the most elegant, easiest or recommended
method but,
you can get decent print results from Fireworks.
I'll buy the next round.

If you are looking for a very quick %26amp; flexible screen
snap capability, I recommend TechSmith's SnagIT. I use %26amp; much
prefer Fireworks for website graphics, but to capture windows,
regions, scrolling web pages, and other types of visual samples,
SnagIT is extremely easy to use and powerful. You can save your
capture in a variety of output formats, including SnagIT's own
proprietary format that allows re-editing of saved images. The
SnagIT editor lets you create callout text boxes, arrows,
torn-edges, drop shadows, etc. It is the tool of choice for
Technical Writers to build instructional steps and images. It's
very inexpensive and they have a full-featured 30 day trial
download.

%26gt; read or see detail because of it's size. It also won't
be blurry or
%26gt; distorted.
You can do that, or you can just resize it in the page layout
app to 6x4.
Same exact results. Still same number of pixels.
%26gt; I'll buy the next round.
Sounds good!

If you are looking for a very quick %26amp; flexible screen
snap capability, I recommend TechSmith's SnagIT. I use %26amp; much
prefer Fireworks for website graphics, but to capture windows,
regions, scrolling web pages, and other types of visual samples,
SnagIT is extremely easy to use and powerful. You can save your
capture in a variety of output formats, including SnagIT's own
proprietary format that allows re-editing of saved images. The
SnagIT editor lets you create callout text boxes, arrows,
torn-edges, drop shadows, etc. It is the tool of choice for
Technical Writers to build instructional steps and images. It's
very inexpensive and they have a full-featured 30 day trial
download.
how to make relation between 2 tables...
hi
i have 2 tables in mysql database and i want to make relation
between the two tables
how to do that in phpmyadmin or any visual tool?
thanks in advance.
how to make relation between 2 tables...
Hi,
%26gt;%26gt;
...how to do that in phpmyadmin
%26gt;%26gt;
even if you could create table relations in PhpMyAdmin
(I can麓t, but that might depend on the version),
I麓d rather suggest doing this by using a ''JOIN'' within your
query -- here麓s a short
tutorial.
%26gt;%26gt;
...or any visual tool
%26gt;%26gt;
there is at least one commercial DW extension available
that麓s providing a sort of ''visual query maker'' tool including
creating such JOINshow to make relation between 2 tables...
MySQL is different from access, in that you have to create
the SQL to join
the tables yourself.
In Microsoft Access, you could drag a join from one table to
another.
Although this is a visual process, all its doing is creating
SQL behind the
scenes to join the tables.
With MySQL you don't have a visual editor, you have to
manually create the
SQL yourself, and theres load of tutorials on the net which
will help you
with this.

Launching Powerpoint from Captivate
I've tried to launch pwerpoint via a button and am finding a
few problems, i.e. ppt launcing in explorer. Am I missing
something?Launching Powerpoint from Captivate
I don't know if this helps, but I am having the same issue,
and not only does the PowerPoint appear in the IE window, but it
doesn't give me the control that I need either. I find that I have
to kill the IE window to get out as the ESC doesn't work.
AllenLaunching Powerpoint from Captivate
Hi folks
Out of curiosity, how exactly are your launching the
PowerPoint? Are you pointing to the .PPT file? If so, you may wish
to try saving the .PPT as a .PPS instead. If you save as .PPS
format, PowerPoint knows you are launching a show as opposed to the
editing environment.
Just a thought about something you may wish to attempt.
Cheers... Rick
![]()
Remember that PowerPoint is not a Web-native format, so it's
going to be pretty tricky to get things working. You're relying on
each user having PowerPoint installed and that the Windows file
associations on each machine correctly tell the browser what to do
with the file.
Rick's suggestion of saving as a .PPS is your best hope if
you want to keep the file as PowerPoint. Then, at least, if the
user has PowerPoint, it should launch the file. Assuming, of
course, they get past the browser security checks for downloaded
files (''Do you want to save or open this file?'' ''Are you sure you
want to open this file?'').
If that doesn't work, I think your next best bet would be to
either import the PowerPoint into Captivate or try saving the
PowerPoint as HTML (a feature that is available in more recent
versions of PowerPoint). You will probably lose some of the bling
from the file (animations, transitions, etc.) but either of these
options will at least allow you to link to the information in a
Web-friendly format.

publishing captivate files
I need to publish a captivate project and the links along
with the captivate file need to be absolute. Meaning they need to
be different from the machine they were created on. Does anyone
have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks.publishing captivate files
I'm unsure what the question is ... are you saying that your
copy of Captivate doesn't allow you to type in the (absolute) path
when you create the link? A blank for that purpose should be right
there on the click-box or button on which you set up the link . . .
Maybe I've misunderstood your question?
.publishing captivate files
Hi Larry!
Can you publish without a skin?
of the original question, or a new thought? Keep in mind that I'm
getting old, so you may have to speak ''octogenarian'' for me to
understand (well, maybe not
that old ...).
Yes, you can publish without a skin, but keep in mind that
all a skin really is is the SWF containing information on the
selected Captivate 2.0 playback control. So if you choose to do
away with the ''myproject_skin.SWF'', you will also be discarding the
Captivate 2 playback control.
You can still have a playback control, but it will have to be
either one you create yourself in Flash, or ... you can use a ''BMP''
playback control such as was used in versions prior to Captivate
2.0. To do so, go to:
''Project %26gt; Skin %26gt; scroll to bottom of drop-list %26gt;
BMP playbars''
Did that help or just add to confusion?
.
Yes, the question about publishing without a skin was a
seperate question. I will try what you suggested and see if it
works. Thanks for the advice.

Check this - trying to launch the page from different topic
so there is not problem wit speed.
see it here:

Update - seems that the problem is reading the xml files
Here is the page that is using Spry tabs and on 2 menu items
it reads data from XML (Hudba, Pohadky)
Tabs works. Accordion and spry:region does not :(
I tried to load also xml file from different direction and
then I received this spry exception:
Exception caught while loading

should convince them to allow it :(
If some one can confirm it then we can close this topic.

Hello Jiri,
This is a cross website call and as a security measure none
of the browsers do not allow to access from the JavaScript code
files on a different server than the JavaScript and HTML origin.
Browsers allowing this type of access are vulnerable because
malicious websites could access files from your machine and send
them back to the server.
In your situation you'll need to have on your server an XML
proxy that should request from the other site the XML and get back
the result to the JavaScript in the user browser. However you
should make sure that you consider the security and other problems
that may appear while using this solution to not open your server
as a proxy for world wide users.
Cristian
Hi, Cristian,
so I cannot do any test to check if the Google Apps support
spry so I can find some way around it?
(I understand the exception now thank you)
Regards
Jiri
Hello Jiri,
As I already told you the only solution, apart of hosting the
script on the same place as the XML, that I currently know is to
use an XML proxy on your server so you call back your server and in
your name the server to request from the real location the file.
You can achieve this by either using the Apache Proxy module or
create your own server side script to do that.
Cristian
thank you, Cristian,

Little review over at macworld:

Some highlights are:
Point level alignment
Better point selection tools
Better colour selections
Control Panel for many point/path operations
The new path editing adjustments make it sound more like
Freehand. Dealing with paths has always been the most frustrating
aspect of my switch from Freehand to Illustrator.
Has anyone heard if the new Illy will include multipage? If
not ,has anyone heard if Indesign will offer multisize/multipage?
If either application would offer multisize/multipage then life
might be liveable, especially if Illy has improved some of its more
annoying problems.
Nope on both fronts.... There is a plugin for InDesign that
does offer this functionality though.
However, not all is lost as Fireworks will offer
multipage/size layouts. That'll work for me and the rest of the web
design community. Not sure if that will work out for print artists
though since Fireworks doesn't live in CYMK colour space.

Best way to handle large amount of text
hello everyone
My project involves handling large amount of text.(from
conferences and
reports)
Most of them r in Ms Word. I can turn them into RTF format.
I dont want to use scrolling. I prefer turning pages(next,
previous, last,
contents). which means I need to break them into chunks.
Currently the process is awkward and slow.
I know there wud b lots of people working on similar
projects.
Could anyone tell me an easy way to handle text. Bring them
into cast and
break them.
any ideas would be appreciated
thanx
ahmed
Best way to handle large amount of text
Do you have any formatting to maintain, or is it plain text?
Ideally you would want a system that stores the entire text
for a particular document in one place and then breaks it up piece
by piece in Lingo. If you have only plain text this is quite easy,
if you need formatting I'd recommend something like basic HTML or
RTF markup which you can store in text files or field members and
display in you on stage member page-by-page.
You could write a script that calculates how much text can
fit on a page, or you could manually paginate the text so it breaks
where you want it to by using a particular character or character
sequence that you search for to use a page breaks at runtime
hth
johnAqBest way to handle large amount of text
hi johnAq
yeah I now have an idea.
Im hoping u could provide me some pseudo code. the steps u
know. If possible
please.
I'll work the real thing out.
thanx
ahmed
Hacking up a document with lingo will probably loose the rtf
formatting
information.
Here's a bit of code to find the physical position of a given
line of on
screen text (counting returns is not accurate with word
wrapped lines)
This stragety uses charPosToLoc to get actual position for
the text
member's current width and font size
maxHeight = 780 -- arbitrary display height limit
T = member(''sourceText'').text
repeat with i = 1 to T.line.count
endChar = T.line[1..i].char.count
lineEndlocV = charPosToLoc(member ''sourceText'',
endChar).locV
if lineEndlocV %26gt; maxHeight then -- fount ''1 too many''
line
-- extract identified lines ''sourceText''
-- perhaps repeat parce with remaining part of ''sourceText''
singlePage = T.line[1..i - 1]
member(''sourceText'').text = T.line[i..99999] -- put remaining
text back
into source text member
If you want to use one of the roundabout ways to display pdf
in
director. There might be some batch pdf production tools that
can create
your pages in pretty scalable pdf format.
I think flashpaper documents can be adapted to director.
My project involves handling large amount of text.(from
conferences and
reports)
Most of them r in Ms Word. I can turn them into RTF format.
I dont want to use scrolling. I prefer turning pages(next,
previous, last,
contents). which means I need to break them into chunks.
Currently the process is awkward and slow.
I know there wud b lots of people working on similar
projects.
Could anyone tell me an easy way to handle text. Bring them
into cast and
break them.
any ideas would be appreciated
thanx

Best way to handle large amount of text
Do you have any formatting to maintain, or is it plain text?
Ideally you would want a system that stores the entire text
for a particular document in one place and then breaks it up piece
by piece in Lingo. If you have only plain text this is quite easy,
if you need formatting I'd recommend something like basic HTML or
RTF markup which you can store in text files or field members and
display in you on stage member page-by-page.
You could write a script that calculates how much text can
fit on a page, or you could manually paginate the text so it breaks
where you want it to by using a particular character or character
sequence that you search for to use a page breaks at runtime

johnAqBest way to handle large amount of text
hi johnAq
yeah I now have an idea.
Im hoping u could provide me some pseudo code. the steps u
know. If possible
please.
I'll work the real thing out.
thanx
ahmed
Hacking up a document with lingo will probably loose the rtf
formatting
information.
Here's a bit of code to find the physical position of a given
line of on
screen text (counting returns is not accurate with word
wrapped lines)
This stragety uses charPosToLoc to get actual position for
the text
member's current width and font size
maxHeight = 780 -- arbitrary display height limit
T = member(''sourceText'').text
repeat with i = 1 to T.line.count
endChar = T.line[1..i].char.count
lineEndlocV = charPosToLoc(member ''sourceText'',
endChar).locV
if lineEndlocV %26gt; maxHeight then -- fount ''1 too many''
line
-- extract identified lines ''sourceText''
-- perhaps repeat parce with remaining part of ''sourceText''
singlePage = T.line[1..i - 1]
member(''sourceText'').text = T.line[i..99999] -- put remaining
text back
into source text member
If you want to use one of the roundabout ways to display pdf
in
director. There might be some batch pdf production tools that
can create
your pages in pretty scalable pdf format.
I think flashpaper documents can be adapted to director.
Plaese help, i'm going crazy
I am trying to display a repeat region from left to right on
my page, I am designing a site for a shoe company and need to
display all their different thumbs for each article they sell, the
images are coming from a db but I can only make the repeat region
display across the page, this obviously means that left to right
you only get one shoe, so that the lay out looks neat i need to
display at least 3 from left to right, I don't mind if I have to
use a table or div but just can't figure it out, someone please
help.Plaese help, i'm going crazy
when switching Dreamweaver to Code View for this page, does
this repeat region possibly add a line break (%26lt;br /%26gt;) after
each image ? if yes, you麓d simply need to replace this with
e.g. a separator to get your images displayed
horizontallyPlaese help, i'm going crazy
We have to guess how your code looks now - can you show us?

ok, but when having this page containing the repeat region
loaded in Dreamweaver, you sure should see ''something different''
when clicking on the ''Code'' button located above the page ?
you should actually see some ''code'' then, and you麓d
simply need to copy all that you麓re seeing now and paste it to
your next reply.

thanks, that麓s the clue we need ! My initial assumption
was right: all your fields are getting separated by a line break
(%26lt;br%26gt;), what makes them all appear vertically -- but as you
have more than just the image field, it麓s time to consider how
all of that should be displayed to your mind. One option were to
restructure all this information within an ''inner table'', that is,
another table with just one row, that麓s containing...
1. a cell to the left that麓s displaying the image only
2. another cell to the right that麓s displaying the
description on top and the price below.
If this suggestion makes sense to you, it麓s easy to
provide a complete code
Sounds good, i'd rather have Image on top then description
below and the price below that but if your code is already wrote
then I will try and adapt it, either way I would really appreciate
the code. Does this compensate for my last post ie breaking after a
set amount of products?
%26gt;%26gt;
Sounds good, i'd rather have Image on top then description

%26gt;%26gt;
please forgive me, but isn麓t this the result you already
got with your original code containg the %26lt;br%26gt;麓s ? If
that麓s your preferred solution anyway, I don麓t see any
sense in suggesting something else ;-)
No, Currently I get the following Image

cross referencing keywords
RHx5 WebHelp, existing project.
In Index Designer I create a keyword, click Properties, and
select a different keyword from the list to cross reference it to.
The lower pane correctly displays the cross ref info.
In the saved, generated WebHelp, I expect to see and click
''lifecycle models'' and the index should jump to ''models''. However,
the new keyword isn't even displayed. Adding a subkeyword causes
the new keyword to display, so keyword entry seems to work fine.
Thank you,

Live CS3 Launch Event Webcast?
I'm trying to figure out the CS3 launch event page at
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/launchevent
It says
''On March 27, 2007, at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time, Adobe Systems
will host a webcast of the official launch of Adobe庐 Creative
Suite庐 3, live from New York City. To participate, bookmark
this page and join us back here on March 27. ''
So I bookmarked the page and have been trying to view but I'm
not seeing anything different.
Do I have the times mixed up perhaps? I think 3:30 New York
is 12:30 in San Franicsco. If I'm late an hour and it actually
started at 11:30 San Francisco time then I'd think the page would
have changed. I've been trying to access since about 12:00 noon to
make sure I can view the event.
Was anyone else able to access?
Thanks,
DAN
Live CS3 Launch Event Webcast?
I just noticed the time on this forum says it's now 9:24 PM.
Wonder where that's at?
It's actually 1:26 PM on my local computer in
California.Live CS3 Launch Event Webcast?
I'm in Seattle, and it started her a few minutes late (around
12:35 or so).
Forum time for me is showing as 1:40pm. I believe the time
zone is set under individual preferences. Click on the Profile link
near the top of the page.
does not work with Safari. Good job Adobe...way to show your
acumen at producing web authoring tools for the multi-browser age.
Oh, and need I mention the technical issues with the
presentation. Oi vey. Good thing they are in the software
development business. At least PS works like a champ!
I've been trying in both Safari and Firefox (latest
versions). Maybe it's an Adobe/Apple issue...
Setting my forum profile to use Pacific Time doesn't change
the times for me. I've logged out and back in using both browsers
with no change. I even changed my password to try and refresh my
account and that didn't work in Safari so I HAD to use Firefox to
enter a new password. And still no luck changing the time in the
forums.
At the CS3 launch event URL I still see just the invitation
and purple shoe artwork:
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/launchevent/
Seems like that should have been at least been updated in
Firefox or Safari.
I'm disappointed I blew off something else to view the
webcast and couldn't even access it.
No launch event for me.
Bummer Adobe
I have Pacific time selected and also have a Time Zone Adjust
setting of -8 and I am seeing correct local time in the Forums.
Thanks for the details. Setting both the time zone and the
time zone adjustment corrects the time displayed now.
Thanks.
After checking the link again today I think someone at Adobe
just simply forgot to update the launch event invitation page.
At
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/launchevent/
it still says ''bookmark this page and join us back here on
March 27''.
It's not a technical browser issue or Apple incompatibility
issue. Just human error I'm guessing.eye look

acumen at producing web authoring tools for the multi-browser age.
Oh, and need I mention the technical issues with the
presentation. Oi vey. Good thing they are in the software
development business. At least PS works like a champ!
I've been trying in both Safari and Firefox (latest
versions). Maybe it's an Adobe/Apple issue...
Setting my forum profile to use Pacific Time doesn't change
the times for me. I've logged out and back in using both browsers
with no change. I even changed my password to try and refresh my
account and that didn't work in Safari so I HAD to use Firefox to
enter a new password. And still no luck changing the time in the
forums.
At the CS3 launch event URL I still see just the invitation
and purple shoe artwork:
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/launchevent/
Seems like that should have been at least been updated in
Firefox or Safari.
I'm disappointed I blew off something else to view the
webcast and couldn't even access it.
No launch event for me.
Bummer Adobe
I have Pacific time selected and also have a Time Zone Adjust
setting of -8 and I am seeing correct local time in the Forums.
Thanks for the details. Setting both the time zone and the
time zone adjustment corrects the time displayed now.
Thanks.
After checking the link again today I think someone at Adobe
just simply forgot to update the launch event invitation page.
At
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/launchevent/
it still says ''bookmark this page and join us back here on
March 27''.
It's not a technical browser issue or Apple incompatibility
issue. Just human error I'm guessing.
new server(fresh install fms2)
Hi guys,
i am having a bit of bother with FMS 2 on the new server.
Everything i am working on works fine on the developer
server.
I am unable to connect to fms admin panel via my desktop or
via the web browser.
It is the same for all my apps.
Connection failed.
I am able to login into fms admin panel via remote desktop
connection but as soon as i click on manage servers i get an error
saying that some script in the movie is causing the player to run
slowly.
I have ran the port tester from the server browser and all
green lights.
Any ideas?
anything else i can check or test?
thanks

session variable
I am trying to save session variable to an Access 2000
database. For example if someone visits the site I want to be able
to save their ipaddress, referrer and hostname etc to a database
table. I was thinking of using enviroment variables along with
session.
Any ideas, or maybe a better way to do it rather than using
session variable
Thanks in advancesession variable
why do u want to collect the ip address,
it you want to know your site traffic Google analytics is

Flash flyer template
I see these all over the place, but can't find a decent
template for dropping pdfs or jpgs into a flash file and having a
professional looking animated flyer.

I'm looking for a simple Flash design consisting of the
following:
1. Graphically pleasing and professional looking animated
flipping pages of the flyer
2. Zoom in and out of the flyer pages
3. Ability to print pages
4. Drag and drop functionality of the PDF or JPG files into
the Flash template so the flyer can be used over and over again
with minimal work
Here are some examples of very professional designs of Flash

responseXML
I have a nifty xml builder that diligently sends me nicelyformatted errors if a ''trappable'' one occurs on the server. Since Ibind my datasets with a specific xpath expression I cannot get tothese messages when I receive one. I would like to be able toexamine the responseXML in the onPostLoad event to deal with thesemessages. Any advice would be appreciated.responseXML
Hi got2code,
We currently don't have a hook for developers to be notifiedimmediately after the data is loaded, and before it is flattenedinto a data set using the XPath. I've been meaning to add one, soI'll make sure we have one for the 1.5 release.
Until then, you can add your own hook by adding a notficationthe Spry.Data.XMLDataSet.prototype.onRequestResponse() method. In1.4 it looks like this:
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet.prototype.onRequestResponse =function(cachedRequest, req)
{
this.setDataFromDoc(cachedRequest.doc);
};
But you can add your own hook like this:
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet.prototype.onRequestResponse =function(cachedRequest, req)
{
var notificationData = { xmlStr: req.xhRequest.responseText,xmlDoc: cachedRequest.doc };
this.notifyObservers(''onDataLoaded'', notificationData);
this.setDataFromDoc(notificationData.xmlDoc);
};
and then you can add an observer to your data set like this:
ds1.addObserver(myObserverFunc);
...
function myObserverFunc(notificationType, notifier, data)
{
if (notificaitonType != ''onDataLoaded'')
return;
// You can now access the xml string or DOM document via:
//
// data.xmlStr or data.xmlDoc.
//
// Then adjust the XPath as necessary, or report your error.

Controlling loaded movie clip
Hi all,
I have a movie that loads other movies into it, one of which
is effectively a page footer. As some of my movies are different
heights (all pages conform to one of 2 heights), I want the footer
to animate it's y position to sit at the bottom of the content.
I am currently loading the footer into _level0, the content
into _level1 and the navigation into _level100.
One of the pages (loaded into _level1) requiring the footer
to change positon has the following AS on the first frame:
_global.isTall = true; // (For pages where the footer should
be at the normal height, this is false)
trace(''This ''+_global.isTall);
if(_global.isTall = true and _global.wasTall == false){
_level0.gotoAndPlay(''TallPage''); // (The animation for the
footer to its new position)
_level101.gotoAndPlay(''out'');
}
The button (at _level100) relating to this page has the
following AS attached:
on(release){
_global.wasTall = _global.isTall;
trace(''Last ''+_global.wasTall);
loadMovie(''cars.swf'', 1);
}
This works as expected once, but if I press the button twice,
while already on the page, the trace tells me that _global.wasTall
is false, when previously on the same page it traced true.
Am going about this in a completely backwards way?

Looping Spry values into Javascript...
I'm a somewhat of a novice but I do this is elementary for
someone to help me with.
I've loaded an XML file bound to a Spry object. However, I'd
like to pass repeating values within the object to a Javascript
array for use in a function.
I've defined my array early on:
%26lt;script type=''text/javascript%26gt;
var dsGallery = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet(''gallery.xml'',
''gallery'');
var dsPhotos = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet(''gallery.xml'',
''gallery/photo'');
var galleryArray = new Array();
%26lt;/script%26gt;
and later on in a repeating Spry element, I have nested
within it:
%26lt;script type=''text/javascript''%26gt;
galleryArray.push('{name}');
%26lt;/script%26gt;
However, the array comes up empty. I've even put the .push
action into a Spry element that has spry:state=''ready''.
I'm thinking that perhaps I'm not approaching some event
properly. Do I need an event handler of some kind? Whether it's in
what I'm doing now or in something else I need to do (maybe a JS
function that maps directly from the Spry object into the array?).
I'm pretty much at a loss here. Help much appreciated.
thanks and regards,
VictorLooping Spry values into Javascript...
Hi Victor,
I'd have to see your region markup and how you declare your
galleryArray in context to figure out what is going on.
That said, you do know that you can get the names directly
out of the dsGallery, without resorting to creating another array?
You can do something like this:
var rows = dsGallery.getData();
rows[ 0 ].name; // The name stored in the first row.
rows[ rows.length - 1 ].name; // The name stored in the last
row.
--== Kin ==--Looping Spry values into Javascript...
Thanks, Kim - that got me on the right track, combined with
another reply of yours about using an event observer (link
here
for completeness).
In any case, my goal was to link a lightbox script
(specifically slimbox) with Spry. This seemed to do the trick.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to do a Spry version
of lightbox but for anyone who's trying to integrate the two, I
hope this followup helps. This may actually be a first seeing I
wasn't able to google a solution directly.
Keep in mind that I'm still a novice so I'm more a MacGyver
than a Stephen Hawking when it comes to coding.
I wasn't able to use the rel=''lightbox[galleryname]'' - I
believe the libraries conflict with each other in some way but I
haven't investigated beyond the inability to parse the 'rel'
attribute. I used a javascript onclick function instead. The
trouble is that it works great on single images. The challenge is a
way to use JS to bind all related images in a gallery.
Luckily Chris Beyls, author of Slimbox posted a method:
%26lt;script type=''text/javascript''%26gt;
function openGallery1() {
return Lightbox.open([['url1', 'caption1'], ['url2',
'caption2'], ['url3', 'caption3']], 0);
}
%26lt;/script%26gt;
With the activating link being:
%26lt;a href=''#'' onclick=''return openGallery1()''%26gt;Click
me%26lt;/a%26gt;
Here's where the fun stuff with Spry comes in.
You'll need to push your Spry data into the openGallery
function. Part of it requires us to have a Spry observer so that
the pushing happens after the XML has loaded. You can probably skip
using the galleryArray intermediate by combining the postload
process with the openGallery function but I just wanted to keep it
nice and easy to follow (for me, especially!).
My XML looks something like this:
%26lt;?xml version=''1.0'' encoding=''UTF-8'' standalone=''yes''?%26gt;
%26lt;gallery xmlns:xsi=''
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance''%26gt;
%26lt;photo id=''001''%26gt;
%26lt;caption%26gt;Frank and Jean at the beach%26lt;/caption%26gt;
%26lt;filename%26gt;../img/photos2006_001.jpg%26lt;/filename%26gt;
%26lt;thumb%26gt;../img/photos2006_001th.jpg%26lt;/thumb%26gt;
%26lt;/photo%26gt;
...
%26lt;/gallery%26gt;
So my javascript looks like this:
%26lt;script type=''text/javascript''%26gt;
var dsPhotos = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet(''gallery2006.xml'',
''gallery/photo'');
var galleryArray = new Array();
var obs = {};
obs.onPostLoad = function() {
var rows = dsPhotos.getData();
for (var k=0; rows %26amp;%26amp; k%26lt;rows.length; k++) {
galleryArray.push ([rows[k].filename, rows[k].caption])
}
}
dsPhotos.addObserver(obs);
function openGallery(idx) {
return Lightbox.open(galleryArray, idx);
}
%26lt;/script%26gt;
Now, my onClick handler looks like this:
%26lt;div id=''thumbnails'' spry:repeatchildren=''dsPhotos''%26gt;
%26lt;div%26gt;%26lt;a href=''#'' onclick=''return
openGallery({@id}-1);''%26gt;%26lt;img src=''{thumb}'' alt=''{caption}''
width=''120'' height=''120'' /%26gt;%26lt;/a%26gt;%26lt;/div%26gt;
%26lt;/div%26gt;
Presto, it looks pretty snazzy if I may say so, myself. A
couple of notes: I had some consistent sizes for my photos and all
my photos were parsed from the same XML file. The '{@id}-1' is used
to match up the Spry id position to my galleryArray index; Spry ids
start at 001 while my galleryArray starts at 0. No problem...
light/slimbox still indicates the correct number of photos based on
the array length.
Hope that helps someone else out, and thanks again, Kim.

%26lt;div id=''thumbnails'' spry:repeatchildren=''dsPhotos''%26gt;
%26lt;div%26gt;%26lt;a href=''#'' onclick=''return
openGallery({@id}-1);''%26gt;%26lt;img src=''{thumb}'' alt=''{caption}''
width=''120'' height=''120'' /%26gt;%26lt;/a%26gt;%26lt;/div%26gt;
%26lt;/div%26gt;
Presto, it looks pretty snazzy if I may say so, myself. A
couple of notes: I had some consistent sizes for my photos and all
my photos were parsed from the same XML file. The '{@id}-1' is used
to match up the Spry id position to my galleryArray index; Spry ids
start at 001 while my galleryArray starts at 0. No problem...
light/slimbox still indicates the correct number of photos based on
the array length.
Hope that helps someone else out, and thanks again, Kim.

Polymorphism
Hello all.
I'm a new programmer in this technologies. In my project, I
need to create some diferent objects, configured by the user in an
xml file. All these objects extends from Canvas and all are defined
in separated mxml files.
I am creating obect instances in runtime with
flash.utils.getDefinitionByName, but doesn't work. I've read some
articles and this feature works only in built-in classes. In
user-defined classes, it works whenever you define one var of your
desired type previously. I cannot do that.
My question is: Does exist another way to make this type of
polymorphism?
Thankyou very much in advance.
Polymorphism
getDefinitionByName() will only work if you already reference
the class somewhere else in your project. This is because the AS
compiler only compiles classes that are actually used. You can have
a whole load of files in your Flex project but the compiler won't
touch them unless they are actually referenced. So
getDefinitionByName isn't much use when you don't know in advance
what classes you will load.
However, in Flex 2.0.1 Adobe introduced Modules.
mx:ModuleLoader is a container that takes a url property as a
string. You could therefore read the names of the modules from your
XML file and then load them into a host container. You could then
build each component into a module and load it dynamically at
runtime.

Linux - We need this....
Hello Adobe,
With Linux support in the making I can't express how
important it is for AIR to allow developers to execute other
applications from an AIR app. It should even allow the developer to
interact with the command line. Meaning that a developer can
receive printed text and pass key strokes to the executed app in an
interactive manner. Think KCommander (
http://www.kcommander.org/).
Right now AIR is positioned to open up the door to mainstream
development of Linux cross-distribution applications. Write it once
and it runs on ubuntu, redhat, etc. No need for messing with rpm,
deb, etc.
Linux - We need this....
From what I've heard, the reasons for not including
command-line access or the ability to execute programs, is to
ensure compatibility for AIR applications across all operating
systems. As soon as you have the ability to launch external apps
from your AIR application, people will start bundling .exes and
.dlls with their package, thus destroying the whole principle of
cross compatibility.
While I'm very much on the side of ''please can we have
command line access?'', I'm not holding my breathe. for these very
reasons.Linux - We need this....
So what happends if you want to start and/or stop a service?
What do you do?
IMO think it would be very sad to prevent AIR from
interacting with other applications.
There will be times when an application will be built to
target a specify operating system. For example, An AIR app designed
to provides an easy to use user interface to a config file.
Someone at FITC mentioned an AIR project that was bundled
within a python script, allowing it access, via proxy, to other
applications. This method might be ok for some, but it's still not
really ideal though.
There may still be some hope though. A quick browse through
this slightly out of date page on Adobe labs:
AIR:Developer
FAQ
throws up this:
Will developers be able to extend Adobe AIR with native
code?
No. This functionality will not be available in Adobe AIR
1.0.
Will Adobe AIR applications be able to launch default
applications for a file type?
No. This feature is not planned for version 1.0.
Will Adobe AIR applications be able to directly launch native
applications?
No. This functionality will not be available in Adobe AIR
1.0.
The addition of
''in Adobe AIR 1.0'' in those answers gives me some hope that
we might see it in a future release.

Publishing Problem. MC doesn't work...
thanks in advance to any one who takes the time to read
this......
I have a flash movie that has some buttons on it that all do
basically the same thing. Click on a button, and two things happen:
1. A new child movie is loaded onto the stage, and
2. a html page is loaded into a different frame.
If I Ctrl-Enter to run the movie, everything works fine, the
new movie clip is played, and a browser window opens looking for
the the html file (nothing happens in the browser, but I am not
sweating that part yet. Maybe I ought to be?).
My problem lies in when i move it to the internet site
(hosted by godaddy). when I try to access it there, using firefox,
the buttons don't do squat, and I get ''Wating for
%26lt;www.mysite.com%26gt;''....with no change to either the movie clip
or the HTML frame.
I've tried publishing it with ''access local files only'' and
access network files only''.....both are giving me the same problem.
any ideas as to what this could be?
I think i correctly attached the code I am using. This is
authored in CS3, AS3
Another thing i'd like to add is that I've been doing this
for about 2 weeks now. If you think this code is sort of jacked,
i'd appreciate you telling me a better way I could construct this.
thanks again!

Sending Form data to emails
I need some help: how can I have the data people enter in a
form (say on my ''Contact'' page) to send me the information?
Anyway, I am generally confused on where the information is
sent. I create good websites, but am not a so-called 'tech genius'
and do not know a bunch of terminology, especially on this topic. I
think forums are very cool and would love to learn how to utilize
them to their best abilities!
Thanks!~

TextSending Form data to emails
The form data goes to whatever you setup.
the normal process is you put a server side script in your
site, such as
phpformmail or similar scripts. The script processes the form
data and sends
it as an email to the desired email address. Or with
different scripting it
can be put into text files or inserted into a database.
What type of server side scripting can you use on this
hosting?
If you can use php, my suggestion is to use the free
phpformmail script.
It's actively updated and current.

read the files in the docs folder on how to set it up
I've made posts in the past on the quick way to set it up-

protect your swf
Hello I know I have asked this question before, however I
haven't really got a definative answer. I am trying to protect the
work I have spent a year creating from being stolen.
1/ Most large sites have got a copyright for their sites?
anyone know how one goes about this.?
2/ Is there a way to properly encrypt your swf so that it is
not possible to decompile? as everything I have read so far
basically says there is no ponit to encrypt because anyone who
really wants to get at the file will be able to decompile it
encrypted or not?
3/ Also my swf file requires a lot of comunicating with a
database using php pages, therefore anyone wanting to decompile my
work, would also need to have the php files, therefore should I not
worry?.
Thanks to any responders. Jprotect your swf

Bottom line, you can't protect SWF files.
Even if you scramble the source, there is only how much you
can do it before
getting in trouble with the player. Might end up not being
able to understand
your file. Also any future update or new version might simply
cause the files
to stop working.
Now, whatever was scrambled, can be unscramble and
reproduced.

%26gt; 1/ Most large sites have got a copyright for their

That's just legal term, does not mean someone will obey it or
will be stopped from
taking your swf files. Best to consult someone qualified.
Each country has its own
ways dealing with intellectual properties.

Hi Luis,
If I may chime in and make a quick suggestion, Luis., mind
you? Por favor?
I didn't realize the content of your site is aimed for
specific adult audience. Please try to keep that in mind, for those
who are not familiar with your site, as I discovered just now and
didn't know... so be sure to make a note of it, so participants
will know right away or it might offend some of them, or not. It
somewhat offends me, but no big deal.
It would be nice if there is a simple warning or such
acknowledgement specifically intends for adult audience or
something. you know better than me or others.
Thanks and have a good one, Luis.
I am so sorry, it surely wasn't my intention to offend you .
You obviously must have typed my website just has the home domain
address right?
i did put my from splash page with a warning before entering
the page, but i will make sure that everytime i send a post here i
add a note with a warning.
Accept my apologies Deaf. You are a good guy, never would
offend you.
No worries, Luis.
No one is perfect. We all, as human beings, make mistakes or
forgot. So, no big deal, Luis.
But I know it might be of offending for some individuals out
there, though.

solved, but when i open my view_files.php
Text
it doesn't show the file names.
This is my code, again: i dont know what could possibly be.
%26lt;?php # Script 12.9 - view_files.php
// This page displays the files uploaded to the server.
// Set the page title and include the HTML header.
$page_title = 'View Files';
include ('./includes/header.html');
require_once ('mysql_connect.php'); // Connect to the
database.
$first = TRUE; // Initialize the variable.
// Query the database.
$query = ''SELECT upload_id, file_name, ROUND(file_size/1024)
AS fs, description, DATE_FORMAT(date_entered, '%M %e, %Y') AS d
FROM uploads ORDER BY date_entered DESC'';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
// Display all the URLs.
while($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
// If this is the first record, create the table header.
if ($first) {
echo '%26lt;table border=''0'' width=''100%'' cellspacing=''3''
cellpadding=''3'' align=''center''%26gt;
%26lt;tr%26gt;

$first = FALSE; // One record has been returned.
} // End of $first IF.
// Display each record.
echo '' %26lt;tr%26gt;

thanks so much for all the help supportview files
i have just noticed by going to by database table 'uploads'
that everything's there fine, but under there's nothing under 'file
name'.
Is this normal ??
txsview files
it is fixed. thank you so much. i had a '$' missing in my
add_file.php and i had to change my download_file.php from this:
$the_file = '../uploads/' . $uid;
to this:
$the_file = 'uploads/' . $uid;
Its nerve breaking sometimes dealing with this codes,
lol
Hi Luis,
If I may chime in and make a quick suggestion, Luis., mind
you? Por favor?
I didn't realize the content of your site is aimed for
specific adult audience. Please try to keep that in mind, for those
who are not familiar with your site, as I discovered just now and
didn't know... so be sure to make a note of it, so participants
will know right away or it might offend some of them, or not. It
somewhat offends me, but no big deal.
It would be nice if there is a simple warning or such
acknowledgement specifically intends for adult audience or
something. you know better than me or others.
Thanks and have a good one, Luis.
I am so sorry, it surely wasn't my intention to offend you .
You obviously must have typed my website just has the home domain
address right?
i did put my from splash page with a warning before entering
the page, but i will make sure that everytime i send a post here i
add a note with a warning.
