Interactive pictures question

If you look at the free iBook "Life on Earth" that's in the new textbook section of the bookstore, you will find that when you tap pictures or do a two finger spread, they enlarge to full screen mode. Is this some special widget that the publisher has or can you do this with iBooks Author's standard widgets? After a lot of searching on the internet, I discovered that you can get pictures to enlarge with a tap by selecting the picture and then in the Widget Inspector clicking the title selection under layout followed by clicking the Full screen only selection under Interactive. This essentially turns the selected picture into a one picture gallery to which you can add a caption if so desired. If you do this, the picture will enlarge to its full size when taped on your ipad. However, this does not do the two finger spread enlargement mentioned above. You can enlarge the image by spreading your fingers on the iPad screen, but as soon as you remove your fingers the picture pops back to it's original size on the page. In "Life on Earth" it will stay at its enlarged size when you remove your fingers.
And yes, I have looked at Publishing with iBooks Author, but have not been able to find anything about the question above.
Thanks for any insight.

As KT said, it is a gallery widget, and thats how they work (2 finger launchs full screen)
single image with caption and "full screen only" selected, a tap lauches full screen and the 2 finger spread justs inlarges the whole page/image untill let go and it snaps back. (I have Accessibility off)
if single image not set to "full screen only", the 2 finger spread launches full screen (just like the gallery widget)

Making an interactive picture scroll with reflective floor

hEY EVERYONE. i WAS WONDERING HOW TO MAKE AN INTERACTIVE PICTURE VIEWER IN fLASH LIKE WHAT APPLE HAS IN LEOPARD AND SNOW LEOPARD. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THE PICTURE IS IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU CAN SEE
OTHER PICTURES BESIDE IT BUT THEY ARE FURTHER AWAY AND YOU CAN SEE THE REFLECTION ON THE FLOOR OF IT IS THIS A POSSIBILITY IN fLASH?

Yes, you can create such an effect in Flash. There are some prebuilt classes available for this that might make it easier for you. Here's a link to a tutorial for one of them... http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/reflect_class_as3.html
If you search Google using "AS3 Reflection" you will probably find links to other examples and classes.

Combining scored interactions and questions - navigation settings

I'm trying to get to grips with the way the Preferences > Quiz > Settings > Requried options work when my quiz combines both scored interactive objects and questions.
I'm currently using Cp4 but would be interested to know if Cp5 behaves the same.
Am I right in thinking that the effects of the different options are:
Optional
The learner can scrub back and forth with the playbar as much as they like without restrictions.
Required
The learner can scrub back and forth without restriction, but only up to the last slide with a scored interaction or question. To get further into the lesson they have to click any one of the previous scored interations, or submit a single question answer (wrong or right).
Pass Requried
I couldn't figure this out at all! I set a pass score, had a load of scored interactions and questions, but the learner could scrub right through the slides with scored interactions into later slides that weren't scored. Ah well, good job I'll be using the LMS to manage pass/fail
Edit: Oh, it looks like this only comes into play if I select 'show score at end of quiz' - you can only ontinue past the results page if you achieve the pass score.
Answer all
Learner can scrub to the end of any slide with a scored interaction or question, but to get to the next slide must either click the interaction or submit an answer (right or wrong). And if the next slide also has a scored object, repeat. Once they've 'unlocked' a slide they can scrub out and back into it in the same session.
Any observations on that?
Obviously learners won't be able to scrub back if backward movement/review is disallowed.
Incidentally, I did notice that the point Cp locks the slide seems on 'answer all' to have some very odd properties. If I removed the pause from the click box, or the learner clicks play at the pause, then it carries on into a kind of phantom frame - with no captions or slide background - but the click box still works, if you know where on the screen to aim for!
Does anyone know a way to modify that locking frame to provide some info for the learner on what they need to do to progress?
Thanks

Hi BrightonJon
For the back movement there is an additional field. "Allow Back Movement" (or close to that)
Required only mentions that you cannot skip until you have answered
Pass Required means that you have to answer it correct to continue
These are about single questions.
A locking frame often happens at strange places. I have it most often using advanced actions.

Interactive picture control/indicators

I am currently designing a front panel that draws a floor plan of an
instrument we are controling with LabVIEW. The individual
components of the instrument are drawn into a picture indicator and
their colors change according to various different states (warnings,
interlocks, etc.) I want to know if it is possible to use event
programming to make these drawings within the picture interactive
controls as well as indicators. Can I reference an event to an
individual component in the picture indicator, or do I have to work
within the picture's coordinate system (the latter would be more
tedious and probably result in me re-thinking this approach).
Sorry for the cross posting, but I also posted a similar question on an old topic from 2003:

See this thread for all kinds of picture control usage.

Hi,
Sory, but I'm still not sure, how ADF comunicates with BPM (I know that it uses EJB services and hwtaskflow.xml). But a still don't have an answers for follwowing questions:
1) I know ADF quite good. Having method in data controls (in our case getTaskDetails()) we need to invoke it somehow. I don't see anywher invokation of this method.
2) In generated task flow there is some managed beans and params - what is role of them ? Having over 50 task flows , do I need it in all of them. Where can I find description of those beans and params
3) In our approach we use BPM , ADF RC for UI and Business Components to persist data into database. Only data from payload we need is ID of master-level row. My question is - do I have to generate data controls for all human task ?. In my my opinion it should be only one communication point between BPM and ADF but not the same for all pair human task --> task flow.
All infomation I need from BPM is:
- task ID
- task flow name (to open apriopriate tab in my application)
- available outcomes
- to know is BPM operation is enabled

ARTWORK AND PICTURES QUESTION

I've been importing photos into my IPOD, but it seems everytime I bring in a new folder of pictures, it REPLACES the pictures I already have instead of just adding to them.
Also, I've been selecting all my music and clicking the Get Artwork button. But the artwork doesn't show up on most of the albums it claimed to be downloading.
Appreciate the help,

As to the images: both versions of the Store page are showing a different version of the image to the one currently referenced in the feed; it can take some time for a new image to appear, and it's necessary for you to have given the new image a different filename or the Store (which caches the image) won't know it's updated.
The image in the feed does not appear when subscribing: you have to actually embed an image in each episode media file, as described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/coverart.html
The episodes: there are 17 episodes in the feed and these all appear when subscribing. The web page version of the Store page is showing the last 9 episodes. The Store page in iTunes is showing only two but claiming to show nine - this is a long-standing bug and there isn't really anything you can do except wait for it to sort itself out.
However the non-appearance of episodes 1-8 is more puzzling as the appear when subscribing and the feed appears to be OK (you shouldn't have multiple 'enclosure' tags but iTunes will ignore those which aren't playable media or PNG anyway). Did you originally have WordPress set to show only the last nine but then increased it? In any case it's probable that the Store will sort itself out, but it's a question of waiting until it does.

Deleting Original Pictures Question?

I just started using iPhoto. Prior to that I had all my pictures organized in folders by event. I imported all my pictures in iPhoto and almost everything was correct. For about 500 photos they dates we wrong causing the events to be out of order. I changed all the dates to the correct dates. I looked in the package contents on the iPhoto library file and noticed that there is a modified folder and an original folder. My question is relating to that... I compared the two folders and found that when I modified the date it created an entire new file in the modified folder... but it did not delete the original. I can understand keeping the original if you ever want to revert back or something... but all I did was change the date. I don't see the point in having two copies of the same picture, only with different dates.
Is there anyway to delete those originals without manually going through original directory and comparing the files to the modified directory???
Thank in advance!

Is there anyway to delete those originals without manually going through original directory and comparing the files to the modified directory???
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Stationary/Background pictures question.

Hello, I just had a quick question. I am a new Mac user, I have always used a PC before, and I just bought a mac which I have had for about a week. Anyways, my question is... is there any way to put stationary/background pictures on the e-mail? I can't find any anywhere on my computer, and I just want to know if I am overlooking it or not, and if there isn't any stationary, is there a way to get some? Thanks.
As for the computer that I have, it is a Mac OS X Version 10.4.9, and the Processor is 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

I don't believe this is possible within Mac OS X Mail in Tiger but it will be in Leopard. You should check out some of Apple's iCards for now.

Interactive swf question

hello forumers.
im exporting an swf file from indesign,and id like to know why indesign or the swf generates an empty blank left hand page.?
and when im making a pdf file,everything seems a bit buckled and pixelated although my images are 300dpi
thank you.

Hi
First - There is nothing stopping you continuing to use swf's with html5 as the object/embed code used is still valid and recognised by html5.
Second - You are probably asking this question due to the fact that the iPhone/iPad does not allow flash content. Unfortunately there is no way to get flash to play on these devices, (at the moment, but this could / probably will change). To use interactive graphics on these devices requires the use of the canvas element and javascript, but unfortunately the canvas element are not usable on current versions of IE, (IE9 does allow them).
There is a javascript fix that will allow the use of canvas on IE versions prior to IE9 but I cannot recommend its use due to its speed of rendering except for very simple animations, (and I do mean very simple).
The general opinion of most designers/developers appears to be that unless your target audience is the iPhone/iPad, then continue to use swf's for such items for the next few years at least, after all, the purchasers of the iPhone/iPad did buy these devices, (in most cases) knowing that they could not render flash.

Profile Picture question

Ok sorry this is a noob question but for some reason I cannot remember how to enable this. When making a phone call I used to have my background as the wallpaper and the a small profile picture of the person I am calling on the upper right corner. How do I enable this?! Thanks in advanced!!

Photos added in a PIM program (like outlook or Address Book) will have the small picture in the upper corner. Photos added on the iPhone itself will appear full screen.

Interactive Popup Questions when entering data

Hi
I created an interactive document for work where the processor has to enter a dollar amount in a text field. Is there a way to create the form so when the processor enters the amount, a question pops up to ask "Are you sure this is the correct amount? I am trying to find a way to have the user have to confirm the amount. I really apprecate your help if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Try67.
I was hoping I might be able to bug you with one more question. Another community memeber sent me thecode below that will actually put the dollar amount in the Pop Up Question which my boss prefers. The only problem is I have a reset button and when I click the reset button, t makes the Pop Up Question pop up again with a blank amount. When I use your code, I do not have the reset button problem.
It is odd because I tried to ask this person if there was a solution but when I click on View Original Discussion in the email from him, it states it was deleted. Here is his answer:
A good event for this is the Validate event of the text field. You can use the app.alert method to ask the question, and based on the response, either accept or reject the value. For example:
var sMsg = "You entered: " + event.value + "\r\rAre you sure this is the correct amount?";
var resp = app.alert({cMsg: sMsg, nIcon: 2, nType: 2, cTitle: "Verify amount"});
// Reject the entry if user doesn't select Yes
if (resp !== 4) event.rc = false;
Again, sorry to bug you but grateful if you have a solution.

User Account Picture Question

In the drop-down menu of +System Preferences>Accounts+ that appears when you click the user account picture, there is another menu that is labeled "Recent Pictures" where there are some older pictures you have used are located.
My question is if there is a way to delete these recent pictures, as there are some that are doubles and others I simply do not want. This is really annoying me, and I can't find the directory to delete the images (if there even is one).
I've tried going to +Macintosh HD>Users>christianwilson>Library>Images>iChat Recent Pictures+ and deleting the pictures there. That only seems to make the images not appear when I click the thumbnail when viewing "Recent Pictures" on +System Preferences>Accounts+, but this does not delete the thumbnail.
In the directory I mentioned above a file exists called Recents.plist, if I delete that will it remove both the images and thumbnails from System Preferences?

set the picture to what you want, close system preferences and delete everything in the directory you mentioned (including the plist). then open system preferences. the recent pictures list should be empty.

Big Picture Questions on Aperture usage

Hi!
My company manufactures a product that our customers are nutso about. We encourage them to take photos of themselves, and send the photos to us. We then publish them on our web site.
As a result, I receive sometimes a couple of hundred photos a month, usually via email, and of widely varying sizes/resolutions.
I then categorize these with keywords, so when I need to find an image (for an ad, brochure, whatever), I can quickly trim these 8,000 images down to a reasonable number to choose from.
My questions are thus:
1. What is the best way to get these images into Aperture? I need to import them into a project so I can sort and keyword them, but they are not all a part of a single project...
2. Is there any way to create smart albums for images that do NOT contain a specific keyword?
3. I want to create an album of images that are of print resolution (150 dpi, or more). So I create a new SmartAlbum, but what EXIF data can I use as my limit? I don't see resolution, dpi, or anything similar listed anywhere... what am I missing, here?!?
I appreciate any and all help that people can provide!
Thank you,

Hi CJ,
My .02¢...
Assuming you're having Aperture manage your photos (as opposed to referencing them), here is a possible workflow.
1. Create the projects you want to place the photos into, then save the photos into folders on your desktop with names that correspond to the project names.
2. Normally you'd create a smart album based on some kind of data, as opposed to non-data. Perhaps simply rating the photos you want in this album with one star, then setting up the album to look for photos with only one star.
3. DPI is done on export, as DPI is for printing not screen resolution. Screen res and dpi are different beasts. At any rate, you may want simply drag the photos your going to print into a normal album entitled PRINT, etc.

GP and WD with Adobe Interactive form question - need some guidance.

Hello experts,
FYI, I'm running ECC 5.0 Support Stack 9, EP 7.0 SPS 11, NWDS 2.0.9_15 with Adobe Livecyle Designer.
I am slightly stuck with what I'm trying to do. I have created a web dynpro application that has an Adobe interactive form. I'm trying to use guided procedures to initiate a process so that this interactive form can be filled out and submitted to an approver. I need the relevant parties to receive a notification email. I have setup email templates and services, I just need to know how it will fit into the process. Once approved in the process, a BAPI should be invoked to populate some fields in the form. Should I be creating the Web Dynpro application to invoke the bapi or should a guided procedure callable object invoke the bapi? I know how to do these things, but I dont know which method I should use, in order to correctly have this process flow from point A - point B. Should the process appear in the Universal Worklist? If not, why not? Will it only appear in the GP runtime? I have pretty much read thru most of the tutorials but still cannot get this GP stuff to work as a WHOLE process.
Any guidance, suggestions, possible solutions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kunal.

Hi,
It seems you have not activated the Composite Form object. Only after activation you will be able to use it to create a Callable Object of type composite form.
Hope this helps,

Interactive pdf-questions from InDesign 6

I have some issues making a interactive pdf in 6 - my client wants the following (witch I cant be able to figure out how to do, or even if it is possible):
- I have some trouble making spesial caracters in the final pdf (in this case ÆØÅ - I´m Norwegian) - how do I make these letters work?
- Can you somehow make the date-section so that it automaticly comes out the right "date"-way when people type there?
- Can you do the same with numbers: fields that represents a sum of money?
- Can you add the numbers of two or more fields automaticly together, making an automatic sum? In this case prices of carparts, and adding a 25% taxes and giving the final ammount all together (ExCell-style)
I´m using MacBook Pro 10.7.5, InDesign CS6.
Thank you for any comments....

InDesign can make basic PDF forms, but in your case it might be easier to take the PDF to Acrobat, and then add formats and formulas to the fields.
I think that you should use Acrobat to fine tune the exported PDF. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/creating-distributing-pdf-forms.html
