Coding actions
Hi.
I was wondering how can I code actions for automator. I want, for example, to have shell scripts to act as actions if possible, or, I don't know what, python scripts, whatever else.
I was wondering how is that possible.
Thanks
You can of course use Automator's "Run Shell Script" action to make a quick and dirty "glue" action for your personal needs. If you want something with a slick UI for distribution, head on over to Xcode and review the Automator developer docs. Basically you set up a gui in Interface Builder (use size small controls!), then connect the parameter bits to your script with Cocoa Bindings.

JSF Actions and ActionListeners with Tiles and forms
I�m having a problem trying to use the Tiles functionality in Struts 1.1 with JSF and was wondering if anyone could help me.
I have defined a very simple header, menu, content Tile that doesn�t involve nesting of tiles (ExampleTile_content1Level.jsp).
I have 3 JSP pages, the first testHarness.jsp is NOT built using Tiles and is just used to load some test data into a session scoped bean using an actionListener and then forward to a Tile generated page (ExampleTile3.jsp) using a hard-coded action �applicationSummary� when a commandLink is pressed. This works fine for both the action and actionListener.
ExampleTile3.jsp contains another commandLink that is meant to forward to another tile ExampleTile2.jsp. This also works until I try to add the <h:form> � </h:form> tag around the outside of the <h:panelGrid> tags in ExampleContent1.jsp when the action and actionListener then fail to fire and I get an �Error on Page� message in Explorer the detail of which says �Error �com_sun_rave_web_ui_appbase_renderer_CommandLinkRendererer� is null or not an object�.
However I need a form so that I can bind UI controls to data from the bean stored in the session scope. This is only a problem when I use Tiles to define the pages. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi everybody,
I want to overload a method so it can take either 2 Actions, 2 ActionListeners, or one of each. The issue with this is that I'd have to make 4 overloaded signatures and almost identical methods, like this:
method( action, action )
method( action, listener )
method( listener, action )
method( listener, listener )
Well, if you want to support that then you are just going to have to do suffer through it, the only shortcut I can recommend is that your method(action, listener) and method(listener, action) are the same so you only have to implement 1 and just use the other as a entry point to call the one you wish to contain the code. -
HELP! How do I remove the paragraph tags in the Actions window?
Hi =)
When I'm coding action script in the Actions window of Flash, in line breaks, the paragraph symbol is present, and there are dots in all the spaces, etc., etc.
I accidentally turned this on, and don't know how to turn it off.
It's like the paragraph symbol button in Microsoft Word.
Can anyone help? I'd be FOREVER grateful.
-"DLA"OMG THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Man, I was really starting to sweat it here, but it worked!
I'm forever thankful,

I am really sorry but I am still stuck. Please help.
Please can someone help me with the following code. I have a number of questions. So far all buttons that I have coded actions for work fine. When The program saves it does it correctly as I have seen the text file. However I have some problems.
1) How can I declare the arrays in another way without setting them to "" when the program starts. I need the program to start and show the previous saved arrays instead. I dont know if my method used for retrieving data from the file is correct either?.
2) When retrieving the values from a file that has example (all are string values). ADAM SANDLER 111 222 333 MICKY MOUSE 222 444 666
Where I want them to be in the follwing arrays as an example.
String name[1] = ADAM
String surname[1] = SANDLER
String home[1] = 111
String work[1] = 222
String cell[1] = 333
String name[2] = MICKY
String surname[2] = MOUSE
String home[2] = 222
String work[2] = 444
String cell[2] = 666
Here is my code.

It's pretty easy to write objects to file, but it depends on what you want to do with that file. Do you want it to be a human-readable text file? Is it only to be used by your program? The file is to be used by my program to save to and to read from. But I understand now that saving each entry as a string and not writing it to an array may be easier. Do I use the buffered reader instead of InputStreamReader? Oh sorry I forgot to mention that the file I save to will later be used when I convert my application to a database type/SQL tyype aplication.

How can I get rollover text to show pictures?
The original flash has a publish setting to Flash Player 5, and I have to have the publish setting set to Flash Player 8 (actionscript 2). The original flash works with the Flash Player 5 setting however when I change it the rollover text to picture stops working.

Error in compiling Flex application - flex has expired & AAD3.mxml
I am getting below error when deployed a model to Portal (7.0) in Visual Composer (7.0):
"WARNING License Service: The evaluation period for Flex has expired; switchi

In the mean time I got below error:
"Failed to compile AAD3.mxml"
Any helps would be appreciated. Thanks.Hi Kelly,
When you generate the coding, compile and deploy within Visual Composer, you should not get this error message. Visual Composer passes the license-key to the Flex compiler automatically.
If you take the generated coding (Action Script), manipulate it, compile it outside the Visual Composer and deploy it, then this license key is not passed and you retrieve this error. For this case you need a separate license for Adobe Flex.
Check the below wiki.

Creating a custom scope... (kinda long)
Hi all, I need some help/input...
We are working on our first real JSF app and we have been doing pretty well so far, until we started encountering this one problem.
We have a first page, call it "Page1" which has 2 input text fields and a submit button. This page is backed by a managed-bean, call it "Page1FormBean". Now, when the submit call is made, an action listener method in a separate session scoped managed-bean (the view controller), is called which prints out a logger statement, and then continues to populate some other fields in that Page1FormBean with data from the database which corresponds with the user input from Page1.
A navigation rule for "success" is set up to get to "Page2". Once on Page2, the data is retrieved from the Page1FormBean and is displayed to the user. The data is in the form of a collection, and each row is displayed as a h:commandLink. At this point, I am COMPLETELY done using the Page1FormBean. The commandlinks have hard coded actions which are setup in the faces-config file, and they each call to another action listener method in the view controller. When any of the links on Page2 are clicked, the method in the view controller prints a logger message and then populates a managed bean, call it "Page3DisplayBean", with the data from the selection made by the user, which will be used on the next page, "Page3".
Here is the tricky part...
When Page1FormBean is in session scope (in the faces-config.xml file), all of this works perfectly fine. The end result is that we are on Page3 displaying the correct data from the Page3DisplayBean.
However, when Page1FormBean is in request scope, and one of the links on Page2 is clicked, the page simply refreshes and all data elements of the page are blank. The actionListener method which normally prints logger statement is NOT called at all...
Now, I understand why when this page refreshes all of the data is gone, that is simple... The scope of the managed bean limits its life so when the page is refreshed/reloaded a new null one is created and the data is gone... however, this doesn't explain why we are not navigated to Page3. Instead, we are indefinately stuck on Page2.
The problem, as far as we can tell from experimenting and researching the web, is that request scoping should not be used from the JSP level because of the postback nature of JSF... Since the JSF Framework refreshes the view underneath the hood both when the page is loaded, and when it tries to leave, the request scoped bean will be there for the initial load, but not for the post back view refresh...
The solution we have seen up to this point is just to "make everything session scoped". This approach works, and the pages work correctly, but it leaves the door open for old data to remain in memory. This means we have to write bits of rather messy code to make sure that all beans we no longer need are cleaned out or reset.
Finally the Question
Since the problem seems to be that the request scope's lifecycle is barely short of the length needed for this, a scope of 1.5 requests or 2 requests would seem like a logical way to keep the data around long enough to use it, yet still get rid of it in a timely fashion after use.
One possible suggestion was that the beans could be scoped "session" as far as JSF is concerned, but that we could write some code to manage our own sense of a scope... For example, a superclass to all of our beans might have optional constructors which accept an int parameter specifying how many requests that bean should live. Default behavior would remain the same. Then a servlet filter could be used to clean out and remove the beans which have lived through as many requests as they were supposed to...
The missing link is the code needed to increment this internal request cycle counter... I need to find a way to increment this counter... Perhaps there is a given call made on every object in session during each request cycle, or maybe there is a piece of the framework code that could be changed to increment that counter manually during the refresh view cycle, etc...
The other possible solutions are to have something on each of the JSP pages, or at the very least on the main menu page for the application that calls resets on each of these beans... If this is the only way possible, it would be interesting to find out if the JSF framework supports any type of "resetter" components instead of calling value binding methods with hidden components...
Has anyone dealt with anything like this, and could point me in the right direction, or has anyone come up with a solution to this request + 1 scoping problem?
Thanks in advance...
-Garrett
P.S. Sorry for the length...Thanks Ray. I'll take a look at that site.
I managed to figure out my problem. I never created a .taglib.xml file that reference the component I defined in the faces-config.xml file. Once I did that everything work perfectly.
I managed to use this forum post as a guide.

Pause/Pause button that applies to everything
My Original Post:
I have been designing a visual presentation in Flash CS5, there are a few movie clips on the stage that are set to play at a certain time/frame. The problem I am having is that I am not familiar with coding/actions. I want to have a play and a pause button so I can pause at any point (not a specified frame) and discuss with the audience. Then I want to be able to click the play button to resume from that point (wherever I paused from). I hope to get help and be able to learn from your answers. I don't know how clear my question is, but I can clarify if you need me to...
Thank you very much!
A Reply:
you can stop/play any movieclip by using the movieclip's reference:
your_mc.stop();
your_mc.play();
My Reply:
Thank you for your suggestion, I tried using this, but I may still be doing this wrong. What I am trying to do is set it up so that I can click play and have everything play and then when I hit pause it will stop until I hit play again. I want to pause randomly, it is a presentation and I will have random questions where I will need to pause it. I have been getting many errors, but I do not know meanings
I have attached a photo to hopefully back-up what I am attempting to explain.please don't cross-post or open multiple threads covering the same issue.

ABAP coding in defining start condition for action.
Hi Everybody,
Can anyone tell me if ABAP coding is possible for giving condition for action? If yes, where? Is it in condition editor? I have 3 validations to be done:- 1) Filter service contract (transaction type USC), 2) Filter the active contracts, 3) Filter contracts which doesn't have billing cycle in current month.
So, do you think these validations can be done in start condition of action? First two validations are static in nature and thus can be done. But, how about the last condition?
Please help.
Regards,
Sanj.Hi Sanj
I would do this.
1. The transaction type cannot be changed, therfore I will set this up in the scheduling condition.
2. Active contracts. Depends on teh definiton of active. If it is based on some status then I will use scheduling condition.
3. use one of the dates in the date profile to determine if the billing date is in the current month or not.
See if this helps.
Thanks -
Hi ,
I'm trying to do a test automation using codedUI. This is a Windows application based on WPF.
I recorded the events and when playback I get a error.
There are two datetime pickers in the same form and when doing a playback one is picking up the date correctly where as the other datetimepicker is throwing the error as below.
Window '' is blocking the control 2015. Please move the window '' or make the control 2015 visible and retry the action. I tried even manually selecting some offset points but still the calendarfield shows empty.
Thanks,
JayashreeHi Jayashree,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
>> Window '' is blocking the control 2015. Please move the window '' or make the control 2015 visible and retry the action.
Please debug it with steps in this blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2012/03/04/handling-playback-failures-in-coded-ui-test-due-to-stale-ui-controls.aspx
Please make sure that the target control is well truly visible on the screen, and then troubleshoot action you need to take is to check if the search has actually hit the correct target element. You can make use
of the
DrawHighlight method in your test code to validate this.

One JSP Coded in JSTL with an Action Link and a Form
My JSP written in JSTL with an action link works fine. The checkboxes are well recognized ( I have a "form" specified in both the action mapping and form bean).
<%@ page import="......common.pojo.user.User" %>
<!-- Create a variable in scope called userRows from the Users object -->
<c:set var="userRows" value="${requestScope.Users}" />
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${not empty userRows}">
<!-- create a "user" object for each element in the userRows -->
<c:forEach var="user" items="${userRows}" varStatus="idx">
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${( idx.count+1 )%2==0}">
<tr class="contentCell1">
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<tr class="contentCell2">
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
<td align="center">
<html-el:checkbox property="selectedUsers[${idx.index}].selected" />
<html-el:hidden property="selectedUsers[${idx.index}].id" value="${user.id}"/>
</td>
<td align="center"><c:out value="${user.createdByUserID}" /></td>
<td align="center"><c:out value="${user.firstName}" /></td>
<td align="center"><c:out value="${user.lastName}" /></td>

</td>
</tr>
</table>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<center><H1>No User Found.</H1></center>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
......But, if I add another form (form B) with some textfield(s) and a submit button in between the opening <c:when ...> and <c:forEach ... > tag, I get the "runtime" JSP error: "cannot find bean: "org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN" in any scope".
The form B also works well. And varStatus="idx" and var="user" still work. The complaint points specifically to the <html-el:checkbox property="selectedUsers[${idx.index}].selected" />. The getter method for selectedUsers[0].selected can no longer be recognized:
<%@ page import="......common.pojo.user.User" %>
<!-- Create a variable in scope called userRows from the Users object -->
<c:set var="userRows" value="${requestScope.Users}" />
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${not empty userRows}">
<html-el:form action="/admin/findUsers.do">
// many textfields and a submit button
</html-el:form>
<!-- create a "user" object for each element in the userRows -->
<c:forEach var="user" items="${userRows}" varStatus="idx">
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${( idx.count+1 )%2==0}">
<tr class="contentCell1">
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<tr class="contentCell2">
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
<td align="center">
<html-el:checkbox property="selectedUsers[${idx.index}].selected" />
<html-el:hidden property="selectedUsers[${idx.index}].id" value="${user.id}"/>
</td>
<td align="center"><c:out value="${user.createdByUserID}" /></td>
<td align="center"><c:out value="${user.firstName}" /></td>
<td align="center"><c:out value="${user.lastName}" /></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
<tr>
<td colspan="6" align="left">
<html-el:link action="/admin/selectUsers.do">Edit Selected Users</html-el:link>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<center><H1>No User Found.</H1></center>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
......Hi,
your strtus config file looks like

Recording actions to end repetitive coding
I'm trying to set up my newsletters to work with rss feeds,
and there are a number of repetitive steps to do in the code to
accomplish this. Does Dreamweaver have the ability to streamline
this? Photoshop does by batching files (actions), and that is a
great help. I'm looking for the equivalent of batching code in
Dreamweaver.Yep. You can record keyboard actions.

Connect Firebird Database and coding in Action Script
Hello Friends
I am new for Flex. I want to ask some questions. I hope i will get right answers as soon as possible.
Thanks to all in advance.
I have Firebird database. I want to create one desktop application and i want to store data in Firebird database but i don't know how to connect firebird database?
Also i don't want to use .net or php or any other language. Is it possible to connect firebird database using action script? can i do insert,update and delete functionality or firebird database using action script?
Plz reply me and if you have links or code then plz send me . If you want to send email me the send on [email protected]
Thanks & Regards

Nichetech Solutions Pvt Ltd.Yes, atleast NOT with core ActionScript3.0.
If you are developing Flex Web Application then you must have to use PHP, .NET, JAVA
If it's an AIR app then some apecial packages are provided to communicate with database and that too with very limited scope. If you need more data intensive operation then again you have to use other language.

Action Script; somebody can do coding for me?
We create videos, amongst others for advertising purposes.
Short of just playing the video on the web, I want to interact with
the viewers and receive answers to questions, which I can write to
a database in the back. Our output format is FLash.
Our distribution goes over a P2P network, (bit torrent like)
so packets arrive from all over the place and the flv file gets
reassembled just before viewing. We achieve a near live streaming
effect, but the consequence for this project is that the solution
must be very small, like an xml file size, or enbtirely embedded in
the FLV file
SCENARIO
1- At a moment of my choice, I want to stop the video, circle
or otherwise indicate some areas of the frame and ask a written
question where the multiple choice answers (max 5) are inside these
cirlced areas. The viewer clicks the cirlced area that shows his
answer of choice. The result is written to an MySQL table on my
server and the video continues.
I want to have this in a template form which enables us the
use the concept multiple times in different videos
2- Same idea, but this time, the viewer stops the video and
we record the frame number, afyter which the viewer writes a max
100 char message. Again the results are written to a database on my
server.
Any Action Script coder interested to make a few quick buckssend me a brief email via my website.
