Clickable Overlay MediaElement via VAST

I am in the process of modifying the VAST system and have everything working for the most part, but I ran into an issue in regards to non-linear overlay ads.  What is the best approach to making smaller VAST image overlays clickable?  It seems dificult to make this happen as MediaElements are not Sprites or MovieClips etc.  Samples in in the repo generally make the container object the clickable element, which works for linear video ads, but this will not work as I only want the smaller ad overlay to be clickable.  Any suggestions?
Does this require an extra media container, or is there a way to make this work with just the one?
Thanks,
Dave

I can apply the correct scale-mode when I directly use the creative mp4 and core OSMF components : DefaultMediaFactory, MediaContainer and MediaPlayer. I'm maybe wrong but the issue seems to be located in the OSMF VAST Library.

  • Opening a web overlay frame via button press (and closing it again)

    Hi all
    Is the following possible:
    Push a button
    A web content overlay window opens, displaying the web-based content within the frame (in this case, a URL pasted in from a google mobile search result). This window is smaller than the normal page size, so around 200 x 550px
    Push the same button to close it, returning the page to the original state
    The web content overlay launches automatically, but there's no 'hidden until triggered' option, as per the button panel.
    I don't want the reader to have to 'leave' the app and go to the relevant full page browser via the folio (or Safari).
    Many thanks
    Martyn

    So there is no way to restrict the readerd access to the 'second' page, so it's only accessible via the button tha triggers the web overlay? Do the other apps you mention have the same issue - that the user can reach the duplicate page just by navigating as normal.
    Anyway, I'm using the button method as suggested, made two pages etc. I've created the button, and made it jump to the other duplicate page, only problem is that the new page 'swipes' in, very quickly, which kind of negates the pop-up effect of using a web overlay window. Is there any way to make the duplicate page appear instantly over the old page (without pushing in from the bottom)?
    Thanks

  • Overlays to control chapters - like Flash- Is this possible?

    I realize this is a tall order, but I thought I'd post in hopes there's some Quicktime wizard out there who may know if these are possible:
    I'd like to have clickable overlays on my Quicktime video that control which chapter a user goes to. So the video will play up to a certain point and then the user can choose which chapter they go to next.
    If this is possible, can this Quicktime then be exported to an flv file that keeps the functionality?

    I think perhaps you misread Tangier's statement...
    QuickTime has a boatload of capability built right in. What is missing is an authoring tool *similar to Flash* to give content creators the ability to leverage that capability.
    Adobe once provided something in GoLive before they bought Macromedia, and Totally Hip gave us the ill-supported and massively overpriced LiveStage Pro. But apart from that, nobody did much with developing a good sprite editor and programmer for QuickTime because you could just do it all with a Flash track instead. Heck, even Apple used Flash tracks for interactivity in QuickTime movies. Then along came QT 7.1.3 that broke flash tracks, *without warning*.
    Some years ago, I visited a Hong Kong web site that was presenting television news. The site crashed my browser when I tried to watch video, because they were using a combination of Windows Media, a custom ActiveX control, and a very complicated bit of JavaScript to present a news clip with audio in two languages and subtitles in three. Had they used QuickTime instead, all of that metadata (the three languages of subtitles) and the two audio channels and the video track could all have been handled natively by QuickTime alone.
    The power is there. What we need is (a) some reasonable assurance from Apple that it won't all be abandoned in QuickTime X, and (b) some good tools for making use of it.

  • 2nd monitor view

    Hello, if this feature is already implemented please tell me where!!
    It would make a lot of sense to me to allow a second / external monitor output / overlay, much like you can do in Premiere through the program monitor's playback settings.
    When I'm on set, as the director, I don't want to be tied down to the laptop that's running OnLocation.
    It would be practical, intuitive, and AMAZING in general to include the ability to see the video feed coming from the camera both on the primary monitor for the recording operator's use (with the vector scopes, etc) and an overlay output via the second monitor (HDMI / DVI / VGA) so other people, such as director, makeup, clients, etc can see just the video signal.
    Often the laptop screen isn't the greatest, and being able to connect to a high quality monitor would be very helpful as well as practical and convenient.
    You would want it to show the video being recorded / live image, and then when playing back, it would show the playback, just like OnLocation currently does.
    I dunno - this just seemed to make sense.
    Thanks very much!

    I guess it's a bug.
    (In case you wonder about my setup: my second monitor is smaller and I prefer to use it for tool panels etc. It would also be ideal to carry the Lightroom grid view by default for quick navigation, while working on the individual images on the first monitor. Not too far-fetched a setup, I guess.)
    No it's by design. The grid on the second monitor is actually a vertically stretched version of the filmstrip. So, you can forget any ideas about being able to edit multiple images on the second monitor.

  • OutOfMemoryError in unknown location

    I am trying to track down an OutOfMemoryError in a large application. The error occurs when there is still room available for the VM to grow, provides no stack trace and there is nothing providing clues as to where it is occuring.
    What I need is a way to identify where this is occuring. It is only occuring in production and the VM it runs inside houses 5 CORBA objects. The error could be occuring in any one of the calls on these objects or objects and methods that they call. The possiblities are nearly endless and would take an extremely long time to add code into each in order to find this error.
    I have been experimenting locally trying to override the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError in order to attempt dumping a stack trace or providing some other type of helpful output, but am unsuccessful in getting the class to be used properly. I am overlaying it via the -Xbootclasspath argument sucessfully, but I do not see my constructors firing. Yet, I am able to call a custom method on mine and see output from it when I cast the caught Throwable, so I know mine is being used.
    I also tried overlaying Throwable and again, I can see that mine is being used, but the constructors do not appear to be firing.
    Any advice on how to get my OutOfMemoryError class working properly, get the original OutOfMemoryError object to dump a stack trace, or another way to proceed with finding where this error is occuring?
    Any help appreciated. Thanks,

    Did you ever figure this problem out?
    I am having the same issue and can't for the life of me figure it out.

  • How to make a VR html file autoplay via the Web Content overlay

    Hello,
    We have created a VR using Object2VR and have loaded the .html file via the Web Content Overlay panel in InDesign CS5.5.
    We want this VR to play automatically on page load, so we have checked the box 'aut play' in the Web Content overlay panel, but it won't play automatically.
    We've tried switching the auto play off in Object 2VR and switching it on in the Web Content overlay and vice versa and also with both on, but still we cannot get it to autoplay.
    Any suggestions? Is this a bug?
    thanks,
    AG

    DPS is no longer supported in 5.5 you need Indesign 6 or Creative Cloud.
    Set you auto play delay for the web overlay to something other than zero seconds, 0.125 works, if it is set to zero seconds. Leave the auto play enabled for the VR.

  • Text as rollover via overlay problems

    I've been trying to search posts for an answer to this, but nothing I've found seems to be helping.
    I'm currently making a simple DVD with two menu buttons. One rollover has the word "english" pop up under the english title of the movie, and the button next to it has an "espanol" rollover pop up when the user hovers over the spanish movie title.
    So I made an overlay with a black background and white text, trying to make photoshop use only 4 colors since I only have 3 bits of colors to work with. I did my best to make them look passably smooth via tweaking the highlight colors, but in the end the client keeps complaining that the rollovers look aliased (especially that tilde that they've been going on for 3 days about). Is there a better process for creating text overlays, or is this a recipe for disaster due to all the curving lines? Can anybody give me a place to look that has a definitive "DVDs can not do this", if it's really a technology limitation I'm up against?
    Thank you in advance.

    Instead of 3 colors make it one color and use a grayscale overlay. This will be "better" but you will still see some "stair steps". The other solution, which a lot of "Hollywood" DVDs use is just have a underline under the word and not have a overlay of text.

  • In firefox I am unable to submit information via form buttons. The buttons are present and clickable but nothing happens once they are clicked.

    I am having trouble submitting information via form buttons. I click on the button but nothing happens. It isn't site specific and is a problem that has only started to happen recently. I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it without any rememdy. The problem does not replicate itself in Chrome or Internet Explorer. Can anyone advise what maybe the problem? Is it s a javascript setting within firefox that I may have accidentally turned off? Please help.

    I am pretty sure you had the same diagnosis and solution to start it in safe mode, and if it does work, go disabling each extension one by one until you determine which extension is the culprit.

  • Failed TM backup after Mavericks upgrade via clean install. Nothing works incl. "tmutil" command. The time points appear but not clickable.

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion via clean install. Restoring my data via migration assistant failed. Then I tried Time Machine. Altough I can see all backup time points no one is active. Then I tried to inherent and to associate the backups to the "new" disk, but it didn´t work.
    Thanks in advance

    Hit the nail on the head Eric, I have quite a lot in there due to system age, so turned them all off and had a nice fast system returned with no hanging.
    so definately something in the startup group and i will try each at a time and see where the problem comes from..
    Looking at more logs my guess is the problem will be with one of -

    both of which starting on login, both using databases and im seeing sql errors on startup...
    more info when i have enabled/disabled some more apps.

  • Urgent: Passing Metadata to SWF loaded via SWFElement?

    Hi!
    my problem: I have a SWF-Animation made in Flash. This animation will be loaded via a OSMF-Plugin as an overlay (SWFElement in ParallelElement). That works perfectly so far. But now I have to pass some Text (Metadata) to the SWF. Passing the metadata to the plug in works. But how does the plugin inject the metadata into the SWF or how do I access the metadata within the SWF?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Simon

    Since the forums were down I played around on my own. I came up with the following solution.
    I'm not sure if there are better ways that are more straight forward (e.g. with metadata etc.) but it works fine so far.
        override public function set proxiedElement(value:MediaElement):void {
          log( "proxiedElement was set" );
          var overlayResource:URLResource = new URLResource( OVERLAY_URL );
          var overlayElement:SWFElement = new SWFElement( overlayResource );
          overlayElement.addEventListener( MediaElementEvent.TRAIT_ADD,
            function(e:MediaElementEvent):void {
              if ( e.traitType == "displayObject" ) {
                var el:SWFElement = e.currentTarget as SWFElement;
                var dot:DisplayObjectTrait = DisplayObjectTrait( el.getTrait( MediaTraitType.DISPLAY_OBJECT ) );
                var loader:Loader = Loader( dot.displayObject );
                if ( loader.content.hasOwnProperty( "setMetadata" ) ) {
                  Object( loader.content ).setMetadata(
                    { title: "Grant Skinner", details: "FITC 2011 - Amsterdam" }
          var layout:LayoutMetadata = new LayoutMetadata();
          layout.width = 520;
          layout.height = 100;
          layout.bottom = layout.left = 0;
          layout.index = 999;
          overlayElement.addMetadata( LayoutMetadata.LAYOUT_NAMESPACE, layout );
          var durationElement:DurationElement = new DurationElement( 5, overlayElement );
          var parallel:ParallelElement = new ParallelElement();
          parallel.addChild( durationElement );
          parallel.addChild( value );
          super.proxiedElement = parallel;

  • BLOB download via WPG_DOCLOAD not working: what's with the document table?

    Hi,
    We upgrade our APEX application to 4.2 on RDBMS 11.2.0.1.0, and now our file downloads are failing with 404-not found errors.
    Documents are stored as BLOBs in a dedicated table TICKETDOC. Uploading works fine via APEX, I can query the docs in the table and all is looking fine so far.
    I have a report column formatted as HTML, making it a clickable thumbnail which should open the file in a separate browser window when clicked.
    HTML format for column:
    +*
    <img src="#OWNER#.DOWNLOAD_FILE?p_id=#THUMBNAIL#" height=40">
    </a>
    *+
    This is supposed to call our own procedure TICKET.DOWNLOAD_FILE, which calls WPG_DOCLOAD:
    +*
    create or replace
    PROCEDURE "DOWNLOAD_FILE" (p_id in number) AS
    l_mime varchar2(255);
    l_length number;
    l_file_name varchar2(2000);
    lob_loc BLOB;
    v_found BOOLEAN := FALSE;
    CURSOR c_doc IS
    SELECT doctype, doc, naam, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(doc)
    FROM ticketdoc
    WHERE ticketdocid = p_id;
    CURSOR c_mail IS
    SELECT mimetype, content_attachment, filenaam, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(content_attachment)
    FROM mailattachment
    WHERE mailattachmentid = p_id;
    param_val owa.vc_arr;
    p_table Varchar2(200);
    l_errm varchar2(2000);
    BEGIN
    p_table := 'TICKETDOC';
    IF p_table = 'TICKETDOC' THEN
    OPEN c_doc;
    FETCH c_doc INTO l_mime, lob_loc, l_file_name, l_length;
    IF c_doc%FOUND THEN
    v_found := TRUE;
    else
    END IF;
    CLOSE c_doc;
    ELSIF p_table = 'MAILATTACHEMENT' THEN
    OPEN c_mail;
    FETCH c_mail INTO l_mime, lob_loc, l_file_name, l_length;
    IF c_mail%FOUND THEN
    v_found := TRUE;
    END IF;
    CLOSE c_mail;
    END IF;
    IF v_found THEN
    --initialise owa with some environment variable
    param_val (1) := 1;
    owa.init_cgi_env(param_val) ;
    -- Set up HTTP header
    -- Use an NVL around the mime type and if it is a null, set it to
    -- application/octect - which may launch a download window from windows
    owa_util.mime_header(nvl(l_mime,'application/octet-stream'), FALSE );
    -- Set the size so the browser knows how much to download
    htp.p('Content-length: ' || l_length);
    -- The filename will be used by the browser if the users does a "Save as"
    htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' || l_file_name || '"');
    -- Close the headers
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    -- Download the BLOB
    wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
    END IF;
    exception
    when others then
    l_errm := sqlerrm;
    raise;
    END;
    *+
    The idea is to display a thumbnail image which, when clicked, will open the document (image, pdf, whatever) in a new browser window.
    Executing the procedure in SQLDeveloper works fine and I can query the downloaded BLOB (getlength etc).
    However, when I click the thumbnail in the APEX application I get a 404.

    As I understand:
    The procedure works.
    The link 'appears' to work. (ie you saw the procedure run a 2nd at the database level)
    But it doesn't actually work (because you get a 404)
    I think I ran into an issue, on a completely different page type, that produced an 'error 404'. (I can't seem to reproduce it, though)
    The only way I discovered what was really going on was with an HTTP sniffer. (eg HTTPFox for FireFox)
    Through that, I noticed that the browser was (for some reason) calling a completely non-sensible APEX page. (hence the PAGE NOT FOUND error)
    My solution was to add a "submit to self" branch point.
    If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss.

  • Some links look clickable but don't work - Word 2010 with Acrobat PDF creation

    Windows 7
    Latest Acrobat subscription
    Word - Office home and student 2010
    I can create PDFs via Acrobat and Word on Windows 7,  but after editing the PDF with Acrobat on Mavericks OS X, only in-document links remain clickable. External web hyperlinks, both exposed URLs and blue text with URLs hidden under link text do not work in the PDFs that are edited on MacOS. They look like they work, because in the PDFs the hand cursor appears and you can click the links, but nothing happens in the browser.
    I can't find any troubleshooting information about this.
    My process:
    Word: Options: Advanced - remove check in "use ctrl-click to follow hyperlinks"
    Convert file using the Acrobat tab in the Word ribbon.
    Set compatibility to Acrobat 8
    Create PDF (icon)
    Click Options
    Check "create bookmarks"
    Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks
    Accept defaults, which are:
    Convert document information
    Enable Accessiblity
    Reflow the tagged Adobe PDF.
    The PDF is converted. Links all seem to work as expected.
    Take the PDF to MacOS Mavericks, add pages, optimize, using Acrobat on MacOS.
    Afterward, only some kinds of links in the PDF work.
    This is a new problem that seemed to start when I recently began to use Acrobat's subscription version on Windows instead of FoxIt to convert the Word docs on Windows.
    Q: Is this a known limitation that MacOS Acrobat creates unusable links despite the initial PDF conversion being done on Windows Acrobat?
    Q: Should I do something additional so that external links remain clickable after processing on MacOs?
    Thanks for any clues.

    Thanks for your reply.
    After some experimentation, it seems that the place where *some* links stop working is when I take a PDF file from Windows and optimize it on MacOS with Mac Acrobat Pro. All the links work *except* the kind where the URL is hidden behind blue underlined text. These look like they work but when you click them nothing happens.
    So to fix it, I think I need to optimize the PDFs on Windows Acrobat Pro.
    The MacOs Acrobat Pro, which I paid many hundreds of dollars for is therefore completely useless for documents with this kind of normal hypertext link.
    Also, Windows Acrobat Pro is required in order to ensure that table-of-contents links made in Word (MacOS) continue to work in the PDF. The trick there is to regenerate the TOC on Windows Word before using CreatePDF to convert it.
    I hope someone else benefits from this insight, because I wasted weeks of my life trying to troubleshoot this undocumented problem.

  • Horizontal Bar Chart and Overlaying Line Chart

    I am using SSRS 2008 and developing my reports in BIDS.
    I have a report with two data points. I want to chart the first as a bar (horizontal) chart and then the second as an overlaying line chart.
    I created both data series, originally, as a bar chart. I have clicked on the second series in the "Drop Data Fields Here" area and changed the chart to a line chart. When I do that, it changes both series to a line chart.
    However, if I use the column (vertical) chart for the first series, it will let me make the second one a line chart.
    Is this a limitation of SSRS 2008? Can I not have one data point be the horizontal bar chart and the second one a line chart?
    If so, are there any suggestions how to get around this?
    Thanks.

    Both charts for SSRS 2005/2008 are very limited when it comes to horizontal charts and are infact supporting only left-to-right bar charts, with no ability to combine them with other charting types (lines, areas, points etc.). For a SSRS charting solution that supports all types of charting type combinations in left-to-right and right-to-left horizontal fashion you can use Nevron Chart for SSRS - www.nevron.com. Besides a huge number of charting types and subtypes (most of which are not available in the MS Chart for SSRS 2008) it also provides better image quality in 2D and 3D modes, more settings, has support for rich text formatting in texts, has image filters, ability to customize via C# code and implements many more large and small charting related details.
    Best regards,

  • How do I get aperture to automatically insert a .png overlay onto incoming photos from a tethered camera and constantly view the incoming photos in full-screen without retreating back into gallery?

    As per the discussion title, I would like to be able to shoot with a tethered camera that will input images and display right away on my Mac on full screen, with each incoming photo display as such without ever going back to gallery view, and in each instance a .png graphics template is automatically overlayed on each photo that enters aperture such that when I print every photo the graphic template will appear on print.
    Is aperture able to do this on its on? If so, how?
    If not, is Apple script the only way to make this possible?

    Would it then be possible to direct aperture tethered shoots to a folder where aperture will hot import, from which I can use action after import via the scrip as you mention?
    I've seen it being done with my own eyes but I wasn't able to inquire more...
