Automatic absolute to relative paths conversion

Hi,
I have a bunch of Flash (.fla) files where I need to convert all absolute (root) target paths in timeline scripts to relevant relative ones. Doing it manually in Flash CS4 is very tedious work and using "replace" action is tedious too as there are multiple nested timelines. Is there any way to automate this task?
Any ideas?
Rgs,
Ziggi

Yeap,
You know - I used to write my own tools for Director but not for Flash yet.
Thank you, anyway - I'm glad you dropped your previous anger on myself :-)

Frame 12 converting relative paths to absolute paths

Hi all,
We recently upgraded to Frame 12 and now have a persistent issue with relative paths to referenced images becoming absolute. These paths do not traverse a drive and so I believe Frame should be maintaining a relative path for these. In most cases -- perhaps in all, although I have not done exhaustive testing -- the problem paths are for images on a master page.
Any idea why this might be occurring and what we can do to fix it? Our docs team shares files checked out from a server, and each time one of us opens a document, it has an absolute path to a location on another writer's computer. We each maintain the exact same directory structure for all Frame/image files, and again, the path to the problem images is local and does not traverse the C drive.
Thanks in advance,
Shelley

May or may not be relevant, but do the affected relative paths need to traverse the root directory of the logical drive?
I seem to recall, in experiments some years ago on FM7.1, that the final /../ needed to be at least one level down.

Only Use Absolute Paths, Disable Relative Paths

Hi All,
I am trying to work out how to disable Relative Paths in
Dreamweaver 8. We are wanting to create some eBay templates in
dreamweaver. Once these are created we want to copy and paste the
code into the eBay description. However when using relative paths,
this breaks the page when it is uploaded to eBay. Obviously because
it is looking for ../../images/logo.gif etc.
What it saves as currently: src="../../images/logo.gif"
What I want it to save as: src="
http://mysitehere.com/images/logo.gif"
So how can I completely disable relative paths and have
Absolute Paths in its place.
Regards,
Joel

You can't.

Absolute path of a file specified in a relative path

Hello,
If I refer to a file using a relative path, what will its absolute path be? How can I change it?
Thanks.

File file = ...
String absPath = file.getAbsolutePath();

How to create a relative path for Flash video on a CDROM

Hello - I need to distribute a web site to a client on a
cross-platform Hybrid CDROM so that they can edit and make
adjustments. This website also includes 2 flash videos that need to
be included on the CDROM.
My problem is this: I encoded the video in the Flash Encoder
app and brought them into the main Flash app for conversion into
swf files. I also used the media controller parameter to add a
control skin to the movies. I now have 2 swf files associated with
the flv video file, and I understand that all 3 of these must stay
together for the video to work properly. The video plays correctly
along with the controller skin on my Mac however only the
controller shows up but no video on the CDROM. I believe that this
has something to do with absolute vs. relative file paths for the
video flv file to the swf controller file.
I do not know how to change this path - I know "where" to
change it within the controller parameter options box but do not
know what syntax exactly to place here. How do you specify a
relative path here? When I try to do it I get an error saying that
the flv file cannot be found.
I am trying to use the following syntax: /video/welding.flv
where video is the name of the folder and welding is the name of
the file. I have done numerous Google searches on this subject and
stil cannot find an answer, so any help is appreciated.

OK - I assigned the FLVPlayback component the instance name
of videoPlayer to keep it simple. And I copied the above code into
an Actions - Frame on Frame 1. FYI - The name of the video has been
changed from welding to Timet Sponge.
Now I get the following error messages:
**Error** Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 1: 1119:
Access of possibly undefined property contentPath through a
reference with static type fl.video:FLVPlayback.

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ?

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ? Please help me as its urgent.THanks for your help in advance.

Hi Jay,
SSIS can only recognize the absolute path of a XML Configuration file, the relative path is not supported. Furthermore, if the XML Configuration file is already generated, we can use the Environment variable package configuration type instead so that
SSIS runtime automatically looks for the configuration file from the path defined in the environment variable. This is convenient when we need to deploy a package to different environment. We only need to define the environment variable for package configurations
once on each server, and then the variable can be used by all the packages on this server.

Can't use relative paths in jsp pages or javabeans

Hi everyone,
Can someone please help me with this little problem.
When I want to use in a JSP page the object 'FileReadInput' to read in a file, it can't find when I only give the filename. The target file and source file are in the same directory so I would expect if I only give the filename, it will automatically search in the current directory. But when I give the complete absolute path, everything works fine. Is it possible to use relative paths in a jsp or javabean file?
By the way, I am working with JDeveloper from Oracle. (maybe that has something to do with my problem)
Can someone help me???
Thx

My dear friend,
It will not work at all. coz, for any jsp file, ur application server will create a .java file and then .class file in a directory other than the directory where ur .jsp file present. that's why, ur file to be read can't be found. that's why use the following.
String path=getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRealPath("/")+File.seperator+"yourfilename";

Use Relative Path for Photoshop Action?

I have a Photoshop Action that is programmed to open an existing file located in a specific directory. The path to this directory is an absolute path, i.e.:
C:\Program Files\Photoshop Actions\filename.jpg
As long as the Action can find the file in the specified absolute path, everything works fine.
My problem is that if someone tries to run this Action on a different computer (like a Mac), the path specified in the action does not exist and the Action will not work.
The simple solution to this would be to make the action open the file located at a relative path. This way no matter what computer the action is run on, it will always be able to find the file.
Unfortunately, I don't think Photoshop Actions allow relative paths. Does anyone know if using a relative path in an action is possible?
Failing this, how would I use a Photoshop Script to somehow direct the Action to find the correct location of the file? Or is there a better solution?

The idea that I use in the xtools installer and else where is this:
1) Convert the action file to XML.
2) Package the XML file and the apps/ActionFileFromXML script with your stuff.
3) An installer script will do a 'replace' (or whatever) on the XML file so that the paths are converted to whatever is needed.
4) The new XML is saved and then converted to a .atn file which is then loaded.
There is an xtools forum at ps-scripts.com that may have some info in addition to the PDF file that comes with the package.

How to specify relative path for background image in xsl

Hi,
I am generating a PDF from Apcahe FOP. I have an xsl for that, in the xsl fo:block I am displaying a background image. When the image path is absolute like..C:\image\logo.png it works fine. But I want to have the image in my WebContent\images folder and my xsl file is in WebContent\xsls folder. So when I try giving the relative path as ../images/logo.png, the image is not displayed.
Can anyone tell how to do this???
Thanks,
Sanjeev.

I have a fo:block like this :
<fo:block border-style="solid" border-width="0.2pt" text-align="left"
                         background-image="url('http://localhost:8080/Project/images/table_header_center.png')"
                         font-size="8pt" font-weight="bold" color="white" padding-top="1pt"
                         padding-bottom="1pt">
                         <xsl:value-of select="tr/td/span" />
                    </fo:block>In the above code you can see that the the background-image="url('http://localhost:8080/Project/images/table_header_center.png')"
has been given as absolute. The images folder is in my WebContent directory. I want this path to be relative to the context of my application , something like background-image="url('../images/table_header_center.png')".
Thanks.

hi there,
had the same problem... you need to use following API:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)
In your case something like that:
// get the servlet context
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
// directory name where the file is located
String realPath = context.getRealPath("/config");
// get real path to your file
String propertyPath = real+"filename.txt";
hope that helps!!

Problem defining relative path ofr images in struct tiles

hi
I have a jsp pages in which i am setting the layout using tiles . To display an image
i am using < img src= "./../images/abc.gif" />
this doesnt seem to work.
but if i give absolute path like src="C:\myDoc|....\abc.gif" it works.
As i have to deploy it so i cant give absolute path.
One solution i found is to use request.getContextPath()
<img src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/tutorial/images/abc.gif" works.
is there any way we can give relative path like ?
< img src= "./../images/abc.gif" />

Hi , I have found the solution.
<c:url value='/javascript/menuscript.js'/>"{code} can be used to avoide the absoulte path . The c:url tag takes default value as Webcontent . so you need to give only path after the webContent

Problem with include and relative path in jsp

Precompile jsp with wlappc in 9.2, I got the error "The include file was not found" when the jsp use <%@ include file="../includes/dataEntry/code_error.html" %>
          This code used to work with 8.1. I notice that someone has report the same problem with 9.0 and you have patch for it. Is it fix in 9.2 or do I require a patch as well?
          Thanks,
          Khuemy

When you precompile, can you say "Keepgenerated=TRUE". It might help you track
          down the difference with the URL. You should only get a 404 error when the
          resource is not found at runtime, which is independant of when you compile. The
          difference should be in how the URL is compiled.

How to give relative path in web.xml?

Hi All,
Im creating a servlet which has to load the properties file.
I don't want to give the location of the properties file as ABSOLUTE PATH. But I'm unable to provide the same as RELATIVE PATH.
When I give the path is given as ABSOLUTE PATH (drive:/dir/) it is working. But if I give the RELATIVE PATH(../), the same is not working.
Kindly help me in this.
Regards,
Kumar Madhavan.
My web.xml file is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">

<!-- This is the tag in which I would like to
          <param-value>../</param-value>
     </context-param>
</web-app

Hi.
Exclude the directory path from the <param-value/> in
the web.xml and just keep the property file name.
Place the property file in the classpath and load it
like this from the servlet:
Properties props = new Properties();
String propFileName = "" // Read param-value from web.xml
try {
InputStream is = TheServlet.class.getResourceAsStream(propFileName);
props.load(is);
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Prop file not in classpath!");

Open Other Project - Relative Path

I hate to keep asking this question ... but has anyone come up with a workable solution for opening another project in Captivate 4 using a relative path? I see this discussion starting and stopping in various places ... but there never seems to be an answer that works. I can't quite understand why Adobe took this functionality out of this version ... as it has made the product almost useless to me. I need to be able to link from one project to another somehow, and I don't know what the absolute path is going to be when I am creating the training.
I don't know where else to turn for help on this. Anyone?
Thanks.
