Alarm Action Script Arguments

In SMC 3.6.1 are there any other arguments that can be passed into an action script besides the two that appear in the SMC docuentation, statusfmt and statusstringfmt?
%statusfmt
The alarm severity, such as Warning, Critical, and so on.
%statusstringfmt
The complete alarm string, including severity. For example: Critical: Machine A Kernel Reader Number of User Sessions > 10.

you don't even have to use the suggested names. change them to anything unique that you want.
or don't use the code snippets. once you've seen one, just copy and paste the code from it and reuse it just changing the listener object and listener function and function body.

Can FC put action script in a 'code behind'.

Once of the practices I do in FB3 is to move all my action script into 'code behind' files instead of having all the code in the mxml files. Does FC have the option to do that (as part of the gen process) and if not, does anyone else who 'codes' instead of 'designs' feel that is a benefit? I know I'd prefer it to be in a 'separate' as3 file. Also, if I DO move the code into code behinds (I've not tried it yet), does FC have any issues reading the code behind? I'll be trying that on a 'simple' project to be sure but figured I'd ask just in case anyone else wants to know...

The two references cited helped answer questions about Adobe's overall philosophy and approach that came up as I worked a simple example down the design/development stack of tools from Illustrator (AI) to Catalyst (FC) to Flash Builder 4 (FB).
Other questions that arose were:
Each application (AI, FC, FB) contains tools for design with some degree of overlap.
Will FC eventually include from AI (or Photoshop, InDesign, etc.) and the FB design view all functionality needed for interactive storyboarding and skin generation?
Is it the intent for FC to become the designer's tool and FB the developer's tool, at least for application design?
The diagram in the Gumbo skinning spec shows that base components and their subclasses are typically implemented in AS and skins in MXML and recommends this as the preferred design pattern. Yet when I converted one of my groups (essentially a form) to a customized component, and exported the project into FB, I noticed that FC had generated a single mxml file (CustomComponent1 ...) and not a pair of files (an X.as file for the base component and an X.mxml file for the skins).
For several reasons, wouldn't you want to generate separate files as depicted in the Gumbo diagram as a starting point for code customization?
How does one develop custom components in FB (or using AI+FC+FB) and package them as a library so that they can be dropped into FC and used in the way that the current set of 5 components (button, hscrollbar, vscrollbar, text input and data list) are used?
How will I integrate my hand-coded dynamic components for data visualization alongside more generic and static app components on an RIA page?
How would I use AI+FC to design liquid layouts where children at each level often utilize constraints (i.e. top, bottom, left, right) between parent and child?
For agile methodologies, how will refactoring the interaction or software design work in this new world where interaction designers are trying to maintain full control over appearance and interactive behavior?
Finally, I would like to know what tools and steps Ely used to develop the component shown in the video. It would be instructive to turn that into a tutorial that we could walk through, step by step, in slow motion
While I understand the arguments for separation of design and development as a workflow methodology, those of us with development and HCI/visualization backgrounds building research prototypes would like to see integration of the design and development tools (from the perspective of the workflow, not the architecture and code).
As Jordan said, the direction you are heading is inspiring. Keep up the good work.

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.

Help with Action Scripting

I have been developing a site and I am having issues with
something that is probably very simple. I have created several
movieclips that expand and contract as you roll over them. I wanted
to make a function/method so that when the user clicks, it takes
them to another scene in this movie. Here is the action script I am
using:
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 9");
Unfortunately, this is not working. I thought that perhaps
the on(release) method wouldn't work on these movie clips based on
the action script I was already using to expand/contract the boxes,
but the following code works just fine:
on(release) {
getURL("home.html");
I'm stumped. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to what I
should do? Here is the web address of the page I'm working on, it
has the movie I'm having an issue with.
AndrewJW.com. The
first image on the left next to the word photography links to
another page of the site. The image of the pearl ring next to that
is the one that will not advance to another scene in the movie.
Thanks for any and all input.
Andrew

Jeckyl>
erm... ok i've to admit my mistake in 2nd script.
_root.gotoAndPlay() takes only ONE argument,
_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 9", 1); won't works.
Thank for reminding me
actually this make me confuse sometime,
from the code hint in flash,
for
gotoAndPlay,
gotoAndPlay(
frame);
gotoAndPlay(
scene,
frame);
for
MovieClip.gotoAndPlay,
MovieClip.gotoAndPlay(
frame);
so, gotoAndPlay can accept 2 arguments only when use without
"something dot" in front.
if Andrew's script is attached to an instance of button
symbol, we can use
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 9", 1);
Since Andrew will attach the script to an instance of
movieclip, he can only use:
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 9");
where he have to give the label to the 1st frame of "Scene 9"
same name with the scene.
Am i right Jeckyl?
I heard many people said "scene"+"script"="buggy", but some
time I get it "works". What is your opinion?

Solaris packaging - "build" class action script

I tried to create a package with a build class action script but having problem with it. I am wondering if any one could give me hint on how to solve this problem? I tried to follow the example on the Solaris tutorial but it didn't work either.
In the prototype file, I have added: e build /etc/randomtable=etc/randomtable ? ? ?
In the pkginfo I have added: CLASSES=�none build�
Content of etc/randomtable in my build directory:
!install
# randomtable builder
if [ -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/etc/randomtable ]; then
echo "/etc/randomtable is already in place.";
else
echo "# /etc/randomtable" > /etc/randomtable
echo "1121554 # first random number" >> /etc/randomtable
fi
!remove
# randomtable deconstructor
if [ -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/etc/randomtable ]; then
# the file can be removed if it's unchanged
if [ egrep "first random number" /etc/randomtable ]; then
rm /etc/randomtable;
fi
fi
The error I got after running pkgadd on that package:
Modifying /etc/randomtable
/var/sadm/pkg/BPCttdb.2/save/build/etc/randomtable: !install: not found
/var/sadm/pkg/BPCttdb.2/save/build/etc/randomtable: !remove: not found
/var/sadm/pkg/BPCttdb.2/save/build/etc/randomtable: test: unknown operator first random number
pkgadd: ERROR: class action script did not complete successfully
Some links related to class action script for solaris build:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0406/6mg76stf7?a=view
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/PACKINSTALL/ch5pkgcasestudies-80583.html#ch5pkgcasestudies-56
Thanks!

I looked at the build script (/usr/sadm/install/scripts/i.build and r.build), and didn't see anything that parses the "!" directive. I'm not very familiar with build scripts, and the documentation is actually inherited from the original SVR4 documentation (not originating from Sun). But in looking at an example of a script that uses the build class, it expects the first argument to be either "install" or "remove" when called. So your example would look like this below. Note that my comment about the escaped comment can be ignored. It's surrounded by quotes, so is okay.
if [ $1 = install ] ; then
# randomtable builder
if [ -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/etc/randomtable ]; then
echo "/etc/randomtable is already in place.";
else
echo "# /etc/randomtable" > /etc/randomtable
echo "1121554 # first random number" >> /etc/randomtable
fi
else
# randomtable deconstructor
if [ -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/etc/randomtable ]; then
# the file can be removed if it's unchanged
if \[ egrep "first random number" $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/etc/randomtable \]; then
rm /etc/randomtable;
fi
fi
So basically the SVR4 Applications Developers Guide incorrectly tries to use the "!install" and "!remove" commands.

How do I use the button states in an action script?

In my Captivate 8 project I use smart shape as buttons. The buttons have different images presented dependent on the state of the button. I have also created a simple action script that shows what happens when the button is pressed. When the button has been pressed the normal state of the button appear. I, however, want the down state of the button to remain visible util the user presses another button. How do I accomplish this? Is there variables for the buttons different state or how can I create that?
BR,
Madeleine

When you talk about 'actionscript' do you mean advanced or shared actions? You cannot write actionscript within Captivate, only Javascript. If you use advanced/shared actions they'll be converted on runtime to either Actionscript (for SWF output) or Javascript (for HTML5 output).
The states in shape buttons are the normal way buttons behave (not only in Flash). If you are indeed using shared/advanced actions, and you want the down state to remain until the next shape button is clicked, you'll have to go the way described by iFlashAppsToo. Create shapes that have the look of the down state, make them initially invisible and group all those shapes on one slide. Add two statements to the shared/advanced action (please do use shared actions, you'll save time):
Hide Group so that eventual down mimicked states on previously clicked buttons disappear
Show Im_Downx to show the down image for that button

Adding data to cfgrid using action script

how can i add data to a grid row called name in action
script. i have a cfselect control containing name of students and i
want to add the values of the selected student from the list to
grid.

Did you add your instance of SpectrumCanvas to the stage with addChild()?
If so, you should boil your posted code to a more simple example.

Error message with Action Script 2.0 file

Hi,
I am trying to edit an old flash file that uses Action Script 2.0. I am using CS6 and keep getting the following error message after publishing:
Scene 1, Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 5, Column 29
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type int to an unrelated type String.
Can you suggest any fixes or workarounds? I also have Flash 4.0. Can i downsave the file? If so, how?
Thanks!

Thank you. I think that did fix the original two errors. But now upon test of the file, I get some new errors:
Symbol 'MoneySlider', Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 7, Column 3
1120: Access of undefined property ratio.
Symbol 'MoneySlider', Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 7, Column 20
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method number.
Symbol 'MoneySlider', Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 7, Column 27
1120: Access of undefined property _root.
Symbol 'MoneySlider', Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 9, Column 27
1120: Access of undefined property ratio.
And on the MoneySlide layer in Actions:
this.ratio = 0;
this.loadBar._width = 0;
this.dragger.ratio.text= "$0";
dragger.onPress=function(){
          this.startDrag(true,0,0,line._width,0);
          this.onEnterFrame=function(){
                    ratio=Math.round(number(_root.transitBenefitLimit/100)*(this._x/(line._width/10 0)));
                    loadBar._width = Math.round(this._x);
                    dragger.ratio.text= "$"+ratio;
dragger.onRelease=dragger.onReleaseOutside=stopDrag;

Using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

Thanks for your swift response.
That sounds like a good solution, but the code I have on frame 2 is this
timer = 0;
countup = function(){
timer++;
countupInterval = setInterval(countup,100);
If I added the same actionscript to frame 3 which has a dynamic textbox with a variable timer attached wouldn't it just put the timer back to 0? What I want is the last known value that was given when it was in frame 2.
I am thinking of temple run here, I am trying to caculate the total distance(set in the timer variable) from the previous try.
Hope this makes sense.

Error while loading an child movieclip if the child has any action script

Hi
I am developing an application where I need to load a child.swf . All works fine when I load the mc but as soon as I add Action Script (lets say trace("test")) to the Child.swf I get a Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. On the addChild line.
Code
trace("Toothpaste click");
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Child);
mLoader.load(mRequest);
mcContainer.addChild(mLoader);

Sorry.Thanks
Typo on the forum.
I can load the child.swf see the image/text in the child displayed in the parent but as soon as I add as3 to the child page I receive the above mentioned error. If I run the child.swf from the IDE or by itself everything works fine .
trace("Toothpaste click");
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Child.swf");
mLoader.load(mRequest);
mcContainer.addChild(mLoader);

Could someone help me with my action script?

I followed a tutorial on how to make an interactive photo gallery but for some reason the file isn't working. I am new to flash and no very little about action script.
Would someone be willing to take a look at my file and advise me?
Thanks

Did your tutorial have you download XML from a server to feed the images to the gallery? Many people forget to check for errors loading the XML file or forget to "do something" once the XML is loaded. Common things not to look for are IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR or SecurotyErrorEvents warning you the XML you're trying to load is on a different domain (a webserver online) and it doesn't have permission (a crossdomain.xml).
In those situations it can appear like it's doing nothing.
Did you just take the code of the tutorial at the end and try to play it as you went through the tutorial? If you just copy and pasted it all you'lre going to have a hard time isolating the issue. In that case you can always re-do the tutorial until you start to see issues. Then you know where they are.

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

I can't get the original disk to work on a reinstall. I get the message

I teach a class using this program on Macintosh computers running 10.9.5 and the action script is not working. It will work on any program designed using the 10.8 but if you design any animation on 10.9.5 the action script will not work for the buttons

You would have to manually delete the color profiles in question... Run the cleaner tool and see if it gets you started.

Obviously, it doesn’t function
Could somebody help me??

i don't understand, "When I try, in the Adobe Flash CS4 Professional screen, to assign to   ".fla" in the properties Publish my action script, the following message appears:"
but i do understand that error message. you need to assign the document class for your fla. in the properties panel with the backstage selected, assign sketch in the class or document class field.

Is Import to DRM by action script the only way to build hierarchies?

Hi,
If I am getting by source file as a big generation wise excel format and even properties in excel sheet with large number of custom property field values.
Is making a Import action script out of the excel to load to DRM is the only way, or do we hav any other option to load these hierechies to DRM from excel without going fpr manual efforts in making scripts one by one for large no of dimensions.

hi, the import functionality can build hierarchies. It has a draw back of only building NEW hierarchies. So if your source master hierarchy is external to DRM, action script or API is best way, if it is to be automated. If this is only be imported/updated once a month the import can be used to create the "new" version. You can use then blend update your old version.
