Action script with reference to root causing problems in Captivate

Hi All,
I just inserted an animation into Captivate and it seems to
be working as intended; however, i receive a warning stating that
action script referencing "root" may cause the Captivate project
not to work properly or at all.
Has anyone experienced such a problems coming from action
script reference. It appears to be working fine, so I'd rather not
touch it if I can get away with it.

If you run into issues there is a technote on Adobe.com that
will advise you
on how to remove or work around using _root references.
Ideally you would
never refer to _root at all.

Can you run Action Scripts with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8?

I have Photoshop Elements 5 and i cant find the 'Action' tab. Im considering buying Elements 8 but ONLY if i know for sure if i can use action scripts with it.
Message was edited by: Jochem van Dieten

Elements does not include Photoshop's Actions Palette function. You can get an add on for elements that will is able to Play some Photoshop Actions in Elements. Not all Photoshop Actions actions can be played for some action use Photoshop features that are not in Elements like Photoshop Scripting. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/8.0/Win/Using/WS961FF412-5006-4364-B315-1576 62B1F7E9.html

Adobe, I think, are quite happy leaving the StageWebView as a highly efficient and low-level component accessing native functionality, so I wouldn't hold my breath on them extending it.
That said, I believe somebody did implement an ANE that gives much more access and, according to the docs, does allow Javascript access.
See UIWebView as per this thread; http://forums.adobe.com/message/4832821#4832821

64 bit serial driver with 32 bit VISA causing problems?

I'm running LabView 2012 on Linux (kernel 3.10) on an x86_64 machine. I think that VISA is not playing nicely with my 64-bit serial driver. I have a few instuments connected through an NPort serial to ethernet converter. Instruments which output data constantly (unpolled) are working fine. I'm reading ASCII data from those using both minicom and LabView / VISA with no problem. Instruments which need to be polled for data are not working.
The same software and drivers are working fine on a 32-bit machine in the same lab (although I compiled the NPort serial driver for 32-bit on that machine). All I can think is that 32-bit VISA doesn't like the "bitness" of the 64 bit serial driver, and it's mashing anything I try to write to a serial port. This being the case:
1) Can I install 64-bit VISA for Linux in conjunction with 32-bit Labview? Would that work?
2) If I have to go for a 64-bit LabView, do I really need to downgrade my kernel to 2.x as suggested in a hidden NI compatibility document that I now can't find?
3) Why is Linux such an after-thought with NI?

OK. Panic over. Could be down to differences in control codes that the newer version of the driver is acting on.

Computer names persistently associated with a MAC address causing problems

Our WDS server will assign out a computer name like CompanyName### This is great.
The problem is sometimes WDS will assign a computer name that is getting associated with the MAC address somehow--I assume this is what's happening--and kick a computer off the domain that now has that computer name.
Is there some way I can disable the association of computer names with MAC addresses, or persistent computer names?

Hi,
How did you define your naming policy in WDS or in your answer file?

SB Live with XP Pro (SP2) causes problems with no sou

Ok, my computer rs relativley "old". It's a gateway from about... 2000, with a Pentium IV, .3 Ghrz, NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 video card, and I'm not sure exactly what sound card it is, I think it's SB Li've! 24-bit... or whatever came standard with these gateways from back then. Now, for some reason, after I reformatted my comp and put XP pro with SP2 on there, SB Li've doesn't work. It worked fine on XP pro without SP2 (except for the devldr32.exe thing, but I fixed that). I put the CD in, say to install it fully, then a message comes up saying that there is no CD... after auto-playing off of it! So I hit continue and the message popped right back up, so I hit cancel and it continued with the installation. I chose to restart the comp now, and I heard the sound of windows logging off, so I assumed it was working. But then when it came back on, my taskbar wouldn't some up all of the way and there was no sound. I right-clicked on the taskbar and chose to view quick launch and it popped up, but I couldn't adjust the length of the quicklaunch section, even when i unlocked it, the right border thing wasn't there. It is very irritating and I couldn't find any drivers that would help this. Anyone know what's wrong? I would e-mail for support, but I highly doubt the warranty is still good. I would be EXTREMELY thankful for anyone who could even lead me in the right direction. Thank you.

And, you can be certain it's not a Li've! 24-bit. They didn't make them back then! It's either a Li've! 5. (probable) or a Li've! 4. (unlikely if the computer was really manufactured in 2000).
You can try removing anything that was possibly added by your using the cd, then letting XP install its nati've driver for it. I would download DriverCleaner from driverheaven.net. If there's nothing in Add/Remove Programs (as there probably isn't if your attempt to install the cd version of the driver (provided by Gateway?) failed before finishing), then go into device manager and remove anything related to the card and reboot to Safe Mode and run DriverCleaner. Delete the Creative Folder in Program Files that your cd probably made. Reboot and let XP install its driver. Reboot again.
That's probably the best your going to get if Gateway didn't update the Creative software for SP2. You could attempt to install the Li've Uni-Pack stuff from the download section here, but it might or might not work on the OEM card you have. If the software on your Gateway/Creative cd had problems then your probably going to just be able to use the nati've Windows XP driver. You will still be able to adjust your settings with the Windows audio controls, but won't be able to use Creative software.
You would need to contact Gateway to see if they really don't have a package for this. Did you check their website for updates for your model?

New iPad Mini with Retina - Wifi+Cellular causing problems.

Bought an iPad Mini with Retina - Wifi+Cellular last month.
It is lagging now. Animation during opening of minimized apps, scrolling and games are lagging. Took it to the service center, they said its an OS issue. I am using iOS 7.0.4. Please advice me what to do and will there be any updates soon from Apple for iOS 7? Will the problems be solved after update?

Do yourself a favor and search the forums on this topic. Many people ask this daily and always get the same answer. Probably, but...
Check that the LTE frequencies match your operator.
Understand and accept the fact that if anything goes wrong, the warranty is good only in the US. Apple will not fix it for you in India (or anywhere else for that matter). You will need to physically get it back to the US as Apple does not accept shipped iDevices.
You will also see that many people run into these issues and then are angry that their iDevices don't work or won't be repaired by Apple. If you're ok with accepting the risks, then it will likely be ok.

Action Script Import

Hey Guys I love the idea and I know it is a daunting task to convert .fla into html5. I am working on removing any action script in any of my .fla files so that, 1: they may convert, but in doing so I realized that It may be possible to create a seperate stand alone action script...place it in the server, and the import said script into html5 the similar way you would when calling an image href, but the problem is... How if at all would I be able to import script into html5, and/or java for each individual scene related to a large .fla? My thoughts are I would need to create a new individual (Java class's) related to each individual action script scene and then import those into the html5 code! I am on track with the thought, or am I just crazy...
In order to accheive this I would need to import the action script standalone into the root folder any recommendations?
For example: stop(); frame 10 scene 1 layer Bck_Ground
Then file name would be: layer 1 Bck_Ground.AS
Java class 1Bckground. js
.requires(
bck_ground.as
This only as an eample of thought not real code!
and or the ssame ideal in HTML5?
Could this work?
Thanks James

Then no offense to Adobe, but this to me is an intermediate way of creating an animated gif...Granted if I wanted to create a animated gif from.swf I have to go through several steps, but at least I don't get the annoyance of ".fla not supported"! My input to Adobe in your Wallaby creation is this...Please consider the creation of a re-write enging for pre-existing action script that will interpelate the data of each scene, and layer directly from the .fla, and then import it into several native languages that the user can select such as java, html5, possibly C, xml, and be compatible for Mobile Web, IOS, SDK, and Stand-Alone Java!, and export all media assets into a seperate file folder with the a fore mentioned extensions placed and housed with coresponding media...After-all none of us Flash Heads really want to re-write code the hours of code we spent developing for a product that can't or won't be seen by mobile applicatioins. If you can do that I would pay my top dollar for it...and I would think everybody else would agree with me! Thanks for your hard work...keep plugging along!

Setting timeout settings for Action Scripts

We are using OIM 11gR1 along with the AD and Domino connectors. We are also using Action Scripts to perform some post create actions on the AD and Domino resources that get created by OIM. The action scripts are being invoked with the correct set of parameters and they do their job. However for both connectors, the connector server (Java connector server for Domino, .NET connector server for AD) times out when waiting for the script to complete. Our scripts are expected to take a long time (30+ seconds).
Based on our testing, the AD connector times out in 30 seconds, and the Domino connector times out in 20 seconds. You would get the below exception in your Java Connector Server log file:
Dec 4, 2013 2:36:41 PM org.identityconnectors.framework.api.operations.ScriptOnConnectorApiOp runScriptOnConnector
FINE: Exception:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Timeout waiting for action, process was terminated
    at org.identityconnectors.domino.WinJni._executeWinCommand(Native Method)
    at org.identityconnectors.domino.WinJni.executeWinCommand(WinJni.java:31)
    at org.identityconnectors.domino.ScriptOnConnector.executeCmdScript(ScriptOnConnector.java:143)
    at org.identityconnectors.domino.ScriptOnConnector.runScriptOnConnector(ScriptOnConnector.java:88)
    at org.identityconnectors.domino.DominoConnector.runScriptOnConnector(DominoConnector.java:316)
Is there any way to configure OIM so that it waits longer for the action script to complete. The real problem over here is that if 2 users are being provisioned to AD and/or Domino simultaneously (we use access policies to trigger provisioning rules), then the connector (Java or .NET) does NOT invoke the action script for the second user if the action script for the first user times out. It does however create AD/Domino resources for all applicable users. This in itself is a defect - but I need a workaround.
Looking at some old Sun Identity Manager documentation (which became Oracle Waveset), it seems that the entire OIM concept of action scripts has its origins in Sun Identity Manager/Oracle Waveset. And these products did support the notion of timeouts. Have a look at :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19225-01/821-0092/bzbuc/index.html
Does anyone familiar with Oracle OIM code know if custom timeouts are supported by AD and Domino connectors?
Thanks

Safari 5 installation caused problems between apps and Mail.

Following on from here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11634165 . It would appear that a new version of the WebKit, installed with Safari 5, has caused problems with applications setting up an output message using Mail.
I am using Filemaker and, using a Filemaker command in a script, I call Mail with a PDF to attach and some text to imbed into the body of the message. Since installing Safari 5, the text has a black background and the PDF is in a strange framed box with a large "X" in the corner!
I don't want the framed box and the receiver of the message cannot read black on black. Please correct this bug!
Fingers have been pointed at WebKit!
I have discovered that selecting the text and toggling "plain text"/"rich text" clears the background. But I cannot do this automatically AFAIK.
Any other suggestions please?

First of all: Sorry for my bad English ... school is very long ago ..;-)
I've got the same problem and it seems to be "unsolvable" for us .... but I found out a way, to live with it for a while ...
1. Build a new script in Filemaker, e. g. "mailformat"
2. Put the following steps into the new script (sorry, it's out of the german version of filemaker)
a) "Scriptpause setzen", one second (translation - perhaps:-) : script brake, the 2nd term in the list of functions in scriptmaker window
b) Applescript ausführen (translation perhaps: execute applescript, nearly at the end of function list)
the applescript, you need, are only 4 rows:
activate application "Mail"
tell application "System Events"
key code 17 using {command down, shift down}
end tell
3. After each "send Email" Event in your database, execute the new build script "mailformat" ....
In my case, I need the brake at the beginning of "mailformat", otherwise, the text is for a few milliseconds visible, after that "the black hole of Safari" appears again ...
HTH and sorry again for the bad English

Action Script GetUrl

Dear all how can I open a file on a cd rom using flash action
script with the geturl() function without specifying the name of
the drive?For example"E:\\Firas.ppt",I dont want to put the "E"
letter ing my url coz the cd rom drive may be using another letter
such as "F" and "G",Thanks for ur help

You can assign simply as its parents folder.
No need to mentions the drive letter in all the cases.
Look , Consider this is your folder structure.
MyProject/Flash/Index.swf
MyProject/Flash/Files/(The files which in turn open by Flash)
In this case,
To open any files in the "Files" folder from Index.swf file,
You can use the
getURL("Files/YourFile.pdf");
If you want to open any files in the "Flash" folder means,
you can
directly give the file name as argument for getURL.

Devtools update causes problems with sudo when used in a script?

I'm a little confused by this one, but I'm not convinced that it's a bug.. yet.
Long story short, I compile packages using the ABS via a script/wrapper which uses devtools. The script is available here: https://github.com/WorMzy/compilepackage
Now, this script is far from perfect, but has worked perfectly well (in various states of completeness) for the past year or so. However, with the recent update of devtools (20120720-1 => 20121013-1), my script fails to execute correctly. After entering the password when prompted (by sudo, at this line: https://github.com/WorMzy/compilepackag … tions#L107), the script terminates unexpectedly.
Downgrading devtools "fixes" this problem, but I'm not sure if this is a bug in devtools, sudo, zsh, my script, or something else.

Update: It appears that the cause is systemd's nspawn. Disabling it in mkarchroot (have_nspawn=0) resolves the problem.
However, I don't understand why it's causing this behaviour. User input works fine for the sudo password prompt, but then fails for the pacman user prompt? Do they use different input buffers or something? Does that question even make sense?
Anyway, I'll open a bug report on flyspray and upstream about this when I get the chance.

Problem with action script from Schewe and Frasier book.

I am working on a Photoshop CS3 action script to
open raw files, do a couple of modifications
in Camera Raw, exit camera raw and save
the file as a jpeg.
I think this should work, because I am working
on an example out of "Camera raw with Adobe
Photoshop CS3" by Schewe and Frasier which
shows the step recorded.
See page 344 of Schewe and Frasier.
In figure 9-11 you see, after the open
statement, 10 lines of details like
"As camera raw"
"Model:Canon 350d" etc.
I get the file path and name line, but
none of the other details reflecting
actions in Camera Raw.
The problem is that in setting up the action, none
of the steps done in camera raw after I do the
open get recorded.
And it works in my old CS version !
Out of frustration I repeated the action
script creation in my old CS version and
it worked fine.
Any idea where I am screwing up ?

Crappy format justification:
I sometimes have a day of family
type pictures that are in raw format
that I want to put up on the internet
quickly. I would like to be able to
apply the "Auto" feature, as in general
it seems to be pretty good for something
quick.
OK, it sorta works in CS, go here

It sets up all of the details and gets the
"As camera raw" but opens the .dng file
rather than the Camera raw window.
The point is, these important settings
seem to be saved, which does not happen
in CS3.
