Anyone Created a Widget Yet? Thoughts?

The next project I want to tackle is to learn how to create a
Captivate widget. I took a look at the stub code for them and it
seemed a little confusing, and the documentation doesn't say much.
Has anyone successfully created an AS3 widget yet?
I consider myself a pretty good coder but I'm horrible when
it comes to trying to interpret other people's code : (
What I plan on doing is creating an XML widget. I developed a
Flash-based course last year in which some of the 'pages' (ie,
movieclips) needed to be populated with info from an external XML
file, so that the end user workgroups could edit the content
themselves. I would think this would be a useful widget to have for
Captivate too.

to add to the discussion -
Following guidelines could help you on deciding when to use
widgets or animations - Let us take example of youtube video
1 - > If you want to show a youtube video. You can create
a animation file and write code to show a video - Read more about
this here -
http://rajntechnlife.wordpress.com/2009/01/15/use-youtube-videos-inside-adobe-captivate/
And insert that animation in captivate file . It will work.
Problem with this is that everytime you want to show a
different video - you will have to change animation code and
regenerate swf.
2 - > With widgets you can extend the code written for
animation such that when you insert the animation in captivate it
will ask the video ID of youtube and when you publish the output to
swf it will display the video id you mentioned. This way you need
not go through many steps and need not have flash authoring to do
that.
This is one of the many points with widgets. With it there
are lot of things that can be thought of .

  • S10e XP users - has *anyone* created recovery media yet?!!

    If so, how did you do it? My S10e (4068-4SG XP 1Gb 160Gb) does not appear to have OneKeyRecovery features or any other utility to create recovery media.
    I'm contemplating downloading and trying Rescue and Recovery but it looks as though I might need to have an older version installed before 4.21 will go on. 
    What have you tried, if anything?! I'm loath to go and buy extra software - it makes my already extravagant purchase of the S10e even more reprehensible!
    Apologies for the partial cross-post but I'm getting desperate!

    Make that 1.5Ghz Powerbook...

  • Creating a Widget with Xcode

    Does anyone know of a website that shows an easy way of creating a widget with Xcode? Like even if they have you build a test widget so i get the idea of how to do it? I'm completly new to programing so i would love to learn how.

    Xcode is not really meant for building widgets. Widgets are built primarily with html, css and javascript. You can code them by hand or you can get a copy of the recently released "Dashcode" beta.
    Dashcode is a development tool specifically for building widgets. It is supposed to be released along with Leopard but Apple recently released a beta that's supposed to run in Tiger (I haven't tried it yet). If you've signed up for a free online developer account at Apple Developer Connection you can logon and download the beta.
    Steve
    PS - by the way, if you go to Apple Developer Connection and do a search for "widget" you'll get some hits on Dashboard tutorials and programming guides (these are not geared toward "Dashcode" and should be useful even if you're handcoding your widget)

  • Is there a way to link or create a widget that links back to the iTunes U app on your iPad from your iBook?

    Is there a way to link or create a widget that links back to the iTunes U app on your iPad from your iBook?
    I have already found the Apple Widget Builder (http://widgets.itunes.apple.com/builder/) and that works fine if you want to link to the "App Store", but I want to know if there is a way to "open an app" that is already installed on the iPad instead of double tapping the home button to switch between apps. (I know using the home button is very simple, but I am trying to find an even easier way to just "tap a widget" or "link" that will open iTunes U right up) I am only asking if this is possible for people who may have a hard time running an iPad at the beginning.
    I appreciate any help, thanks!

    I appreciate your help, but I had already looked at LinkMaker and I thought that was my answer, but as far as I could tell that still only links to an app in the app store. Yes it will link to iTunes U in the app store and you can then hit Open, but that is too drawn out of a process. We would like to know a way to just open the app directly.
    Thank you!

  • Re: Create dynamic widgets.

    Hi Kang,
    The attached pex contains a window class, which first adds a gridfield to the
    window and then inserts 5 toggle fields into it. Clicks on the dynamically
    created toggle fields are captured via the ChildClick event on the parent
    gridfield.
    The resulting window is not pretty (or even useful), but will, I hope,
    provide you with some pointers.
    At my site, we are working with version 3d. To my delight, I have found that
    the widgets can be added to the window before it is opened. With previous
    versions, the window had to be open prior to adding any widgets to it.

    Hi,
    I've attached an example of creating datafield and textgraphic dynamically. You may use it as a reference to create toggle field at run time.

    Hi,
    Is there anyone can give me some help on how to create dynamic widgets? I
    need to build a group of toggle field at runtime and put them in a window
    that is generated by Express. I could not find any documents or samples on
    how to do that. Do I need to create a gridfield first and insert the
    widgets into that gridfield in the tool code?
    I appreciate any suggestions and/or samples.

  • Anyone develop for ANDROID yet?

    Flash Player 10.1 is out anyone develop for ANDROID yet?
    Is it easy to get an app onto ANDROID, do you have to do it through the ANDROID store, or can you just copy it onto the phone and you're all set?
    I guess you can just create a flex app and access it through the web...

  • TS4552 Skype doesn't recognise video on the new mid-2013 macbook air.  Does anyone have a solution yet?

    So Apple have known about this since June and they still haven't done anything about it! Has anyone found a solution yet? 
    Skype will not recognise my video at all.  There's no way I would have bought the computer if Apple had told me this was an issue.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
    FIX: 
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
    If that doesnt pass,
    Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

  • Webapp to create html widgets (videos, maps, ...)

    Hi,
    I have started a little project, iBook Generator, to easily create all sorts of html widgets, ready to use in iBooks Author.
    Currently, you can create a widget to embed Youtube or Vimeo videos in one click, but I'm working on a lot more generator.
    I'd love to hear from you, if you're interested.
    You can try it here : http://ibooksgenerator.com

    Not sure if I can do this but I would like to see a widget to jump from one section or chapter to another section or chapter in the book. The widge would be a button or image button.

  • Anyone create a step list for a Win 7clean install for a W500?

    I will be performing a clean install of Win 7 Home Premium edition on a new hard drive at the end of the week.  I am currently compliling all the drivers I anticipate I may need (although Win 7 will probably load most of them automatically).  I have read a few threads about performing a clean install on a W500.  Has anyone created a step procedure and the drivers that will be necessary?  Thanks in advance.

  • Creating dynamic widgets

    We have a question on how to create something similar to a dynamic arrayfield
    without mapping to an array.
    We would like the similar behavior of an HTML table with ability to add rows
    and columns with values.
    We have looked at using ActiveX but are not happy with the way Forte interacts
    with these widgets, so we are looking for a Tool
    solution. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

    I've been trying for a while to get the ArrayField working, but it seems to
    be designed for mapping onto objects that exist at runtime. Dynamic
    adjustment of the number of colums in the ArrayField just doesn't seem to
    work. So far the only solution i've found is creating a GridField and
    filling it with DataFields. You'd have to add you're own code for the
    scrollbar and implement the scrolling. As far as i've found out there is no
    other usable Tool solution. I can't give you any examples cause this is
    where i stopped looking into it. Good luck.

  • Anyone try Toast 7 yet?

    The release information says the latest incarnation of Roxio's Titanium Toast can take a 3+ hour program burned on a dual layer disc in iDVD and compress it to fit on a conventional 4.7GB disc.
    Has anyone actually done this yet? Does it work? Does the resulting program look okay?
    Thanks,
    david

    Here's what the Toast 7 Getting Started manual says (page 94):
    Copying a Disc Image File
    You can copy a disc image file to CDs and DVDs. Toast supports many popular disc image file formats, including .toast, .dmg, .img, .iso, .cdr, .sd2 and other 3rd party formats.
    To copy a disc image file to a CD or DVD:
    1 Click the Copy tab at the top of the Toast window.
    2 Click the Formats tab in the left drawer and choose Image File.
    3 Choose any optional settings:
    -->Fit-to-DVD video compression: If your original is a DVD-Video image that is too large to fit onto a standard 4.7 GB recordable DVD, selecting this option will compress it to fit on the copy. See Changing Copy Options on page 83.
    4 Drag a disc image file from your hard disk into the Content Area or click Select to add the image file.
    5 Insert a blank recordable CD or DVD.
    6 Click the red Record button and choose a recorder from the list and optional recording settings, such as “Number of Copies.” Click Record to continue.
    Toast displays a progress bar and status information as it copies your disc.

  • Has anyone created a NI-VXI driver for the Ardence RTX operating system?

    Has anyone created a NI-VXI driver for the Ardence RTX operating system?
    a VXI instrument through a PCI-VXI-8335 card (in the PC) talking to a PCI-VXI-8345 card (in the VXI chassis) via MXI-3, Has anyone created a PCI-VXI-8335 card  driver for the Ardence RTX operating system?

    Now  i want  develop driver on RTX,my hard platform is similiar(PCI8335+VXI8340+1418A),and after i read the PCI baseaddress,i find PCI8335 only has memory-map,so that means if i want to driver this board ,so i take following steps list below:
    1.use Rtmapmemory() to map the baseaddress to virtual address
    2.using memset() or memcpy() to driver the 1418A board
    is this right?
    if you can give me some hints,thanks 
    or you can contact me :[email protected]
