Automatically updating links in Flash AS2.0

Hi all,
I made a website for a client a while ago, and he came back
now wanting the ability to update his Monthly Newsletters.
This is out of my ability to do. I need some help with
creating a function which (hopefully) will read all files in a
specified folder, and automatically create links in the flash movie
it's self, to open each file inside the specified folder.
Is this even possible?
If not... can anyone suggest other ideas on achieving this?
thanx to all in advance for any help.

All files are in the same directory (relative path) including
the folder (newsletters) which the PHP reads and sends to Flash.
I dont think this is where the problem is.
The permissions...i dont know for sure. Im using Filezilla to
FTP files to the server, which gives me details of permissions on
each files. I dont know how accurate these are tho.
The permissions are the same for all files, ( -rw-rw-rw- )
which im thinking means read and write permissions to the
directory.
But i dont know much about server side tech, and servers in
general. Are there some other permissions that are worth looking
into?
The SWF file where the code is going into, is set up abit
differently to the test file i was using. I originally thought this
might cause the problem.
But i made copies of the files needed (from the site) to the
temp directory i was using to test the PHP reading script. and it
works perfectly. So the problem cant be there either.
I dont know what else to try.

  • InDesign CS6 not automatically updating links

    In previous verisons of InDesign, if I select a linked file, then click "edit link" from the links panel, the link will open up in Photoshop or Illustrator or whatever program, and once I edit, save, and close the file, when I switch back to InDesign, the file would automatically update. CS6 is not updating. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue?

    I tried trashing the preferences a couple times. No luck. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same problem.
    I haven't tried leaving the file open. What I generally do is:
    1. From ID, click "edit link".
    2. Once the linked file opens, edit as necessary.
    3. Save the file, then close it.
    4. Switch back to ID and it updates automatically.
    I'll see if if works by leaving it open.
    It's not the end of the world if it doesn't work. It's just more annoying than anything else.

  • How can I automatically update links to bookmarks that change?

    The documentation I am working on currently outputs to WebHelp, Word, and PDF.
    The files include numerous equations and figures. I created styles to automatically number these and bookmarked them for linking. It just occurred to me, however, that these figures are likely to change over time. Is there a way to automatically update the links as figures are added or removed?
    FWIW, I am using RoboHelp HTML 9.0.2.271 on Windows 7.

    There is no automatic way of updating bookmarks that I am aware of. Can you not create bookmarks that avoid the numbering as they will not be seen by users.

  • How to automatically update links

    I used to be able to edit a photo (by alt-clicking to open it in photoshop - then saving it) and when I would go back to InDesign and the link would update itself immediately. Now it doesn't update itself without me going to the links pallete and telling it to update. Is there a preference somewhere so that it will automatically update the link again? I need that efficiency!
    Thank you!

  • Automatic updates management in Flash Player 11

    Hello,
    I know that with the latest 10 version the mms.cfg file is still the valid option to customize the automatic updates behavior (even if the new Control Panel applet's dedicated option is not greyed, I read the autoupdates are anyway blocked).
    Is it the same with the 11 version? I have just installed it with the same mms.cfg file I used for 10, and still the Control Panel applet is not greyed...
    thanks

    @fabio_s
    When you created the mms.cfg file, in what character encoding did you save it in?
    @TalonT,
    You actually have conflicting directives in the mms.cfg file.
    AutoUpdateInterval=0 tells Flash Player to check for an update every time it starts.
    AutoUpdateDisable=1 disables Flash Player from checking for updates.
    To disable AutoUpdate, you should only have AutoUpdateDisable=1
    You said previously "The packet sniffer shows the auto-update request traffic to http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/",  Can you provide the entire URL that the request is going to?
    I will investigate further after receiving this information.

  • Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page...

    Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page..

    [BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
    I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
    Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
    I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
    I hope this helps!
    EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
    https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
    EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

  • Automatic update of links appears broken in 2007 format word documents

    this is all in Word 2013 Pro + [15.0.4569.1504] under Win7 [6.1.7601].
    legacy DOC (XLS) format documents.
    have LINK fields with the following format:
    { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "c:\\test\\test.xls" "Sheet19!A1:D11" /a /p }
    Excel spreadsheet is in the same folder.
    copying the two files to a different folder (test2) and updating the links causes the path to the spreadsheet to be updated automatically.
    { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "c:\\test2\\test.xls" "Sheet19!A1:D11" /a /p }
    saving the same files as DOCX (XLSM) format causes this updating to stop working.
    { LINK Excel.SheetBinaryMacroEnabled.12 "c:\\test\\test.xlsm" "Sheet19!A1:D11" /a /p }
    using "Edit links to files" to update the links causes the range parameter to be lost 
    this is unacceptable for obvious reasons.
    what am i misunderstanding?
    how can i get this to work as it did?
    mtia,
    e. <;)

    Alas, not possible.

  • Does Firefox support to automatically update flash plug-in?

    I am using Firefox 31.0 and want to know if it supports to automatically update flash plug-in. If it does not, is there any plan to improve this?
    Thanks.

    You can specify flash to update automatically by clicking start on your
    computer then type in flash in start search.
    It should bring up Flash Player,click it then go to Advanced.
    Check the option for : Allow Adobe to install updates.
    It can also be done by right clicking on a flash video,then click global
    settings.

  • How to automatically update Smart LINKED Object

    Hi.
    This is my first post here, I'm French, so excuse any English mistake i may do.
    I'm not an artist / designer / ..., still new about using image software editing like photoshop.
    So i downloaded Photoshop CC to try it because i wanted to do something on my spare time.
    I want to render digitaly a card collection based on a online Collectible Card Game (Duel of champions if you wanna know).
    For this I downloaded their card art from their site.
    Then i want to add several effect / filter to render them nicely.
    So i read and watch many tutorial in this purpose.
    I ended with a good result for 1 card.
    Here is an example :
    Hi.
    This is my first post here, I'm French, so excuse any English mistake i may do.

    Then i want to add several effect / filter to render them nicely.
    So i read and watch many tutorial in this purpose.
    I ended with a good result for 1 card.
    Here is an example :
    So what i did :
    I get a source card art image, adding its red border, embossed it to get relief, adding a gloss effect in 3 different layers (the card art, the border and the gloss effect). Than i duplicate all this layers, swap them vertically and moved down to get a reflection.
    I added a gradient to this new group of layers to have a nice fading effect to the reflection.
    As I do not want to redo all the process again and again if I change main the source card Art, I want the reflexion to automatically update.
    This was done using Smart object, both main source card Art and the (vertically swapped) reflexion card art using the same object storing my different main source card art.
    So when i change in this object the main source card art used, it automatically change both the rendered card and its corresponding reflexion.
    And then i Added a displacement filter to simulate a water reflection.
    And the first problem (solved by now) occurred :
    If i want to apply a filter to the group of layers corresponding to the rendered reflexion card, Photoshop have to convert and merged the whole group of layers into another new smart object and then apply a smart filter onto it. That worked but i lost the auto updating of the reflexion as the previous conversion have made Photoshop create in fact a whole new duplicated object storing a my different main source art.
    So i partially resolved This by using Smart LINKED object instead of Smart object. I say partially because it is not really fully automated anymore.
    Now if I change the main Source card Art to render a new one, I have to "manually" save file / update smart object to get the reflection updated.
    I kinda accelerate this using a action performing a batch of saves to get a "save all" options (that clearly miss in photoshop). But for this i still have to open all my smarted linked object in order to apply the "Save All" batch.
    But know I want to generalize the process to cards left, and render my whole card collection.
    So i created a template based on what i've done so far using in this template Smart LINKED Object for the Main source card art and the reflected one. By the Way I exported the Reflection group in a PSD file, and refered to it as another Smart LINKED Object in my template. Doing so i'm sure Photoshop no more use a temporary PSB object correspond to the converted / merged reflexion Smart Object (remember : created in order to apply a smart Filter on it).
    So what Happen now ?
    I create a new testing psd file in witch i embed several new smart objects each one is an occurence to my template. Here i have to used smart Object and NOT smart LINKED Object because if so i'll always end up with the same rendered card several times. I have to get Phososhop create it own temporary duplicated object so a modification to one don't affect all the others after "Save All" batch on the corresponding working card.
    So with what I have now, if I want to change 1 of the rendered card, i go its corresponding (duplicated) template object and from there i access again my LINKED object storing all my main source card Art.
    I change to what source card art I want, and I have to open the reflection smart LINKED Object too in order to apply the "SAve All" batch.
    Here is the "fun" (issue) thing : I have to apply the batch 3 time in a row to have the rendered card changed in my main testing psd file. I suppose saving 3 time time propagated the change along the Smart LINKED Object chain.
    AND I have to make sure ONLY the corresponding smart (LINKED) Object file are opened before. If another file from a different rendered card is opened too the change will also be propagated to it and so having a duplicated rendered card. (I only want each card rendered once, but using the same template to avoid repetitive work).
    So I explained in detail, but maybe not clearly, my situation and the step i went through.
    TLDR
    To summarize : I have a collections of Card art (jpeg).
    I created a Template applying effect to render 1 card.
    I created another template appliying same effect to render 1 REFLECTED card.
    In both i use the same Smart LINKED Object that Store my collection on Card Art.
    I make another Smart LINKED Object in the first template that reference the second one.
    So with my first template I can update the rendered card and its rendered reflexion after changing the main source card art  in the subsequent smart LINKED Object that store my whole cards art. I have to had all corresponding Smart LINKED Object file OPENED and save them all to have th updated result.
    So not really automatic.
    Then I want to render my whole card collection with effect and reflexion.
    I create in my project a duplicate of my first template for each card to be rendered.
    Then I have to open ONLY all subsequent corresponding Smart LINKED(or not) Object file of current working rendered card and change the main source card art, save all the file (several time to propagate change) to properlly update the current rendered card.
    I have to do this for EACH of my duplicated template in order to render EACH of my cards.
    Definitively  not automatic process, and prone to errors.
    Do you know a way to fully automatically render my card collection ? The only thing I want to do is chose one time the main source card art for each rendered card.
    Finally another way to explain this issue and maybe get an answer is to instead explain simply what I want to do :
    I have a collection of (jpeg) card art from an online card game.
    I want to render them all with effect (gloss, emboss border, faded and water filtered reflection).
    I want to do this automatically.
    The only thing i manually want to do is chose the card art to be rendered for each of the card i want to render in my collection.
    Here is an image of what i want based on what i've, not automatically, done so far :
    Thanks for any help from photophop professional here.

    Hi,
    The delta load does not work for product categories but only products.So to bring in the new product categories into SRM you will need to start the load of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.
    The CRM middleware allows the following two methods for replication.
    -Initial loads:
    Launched manually (R3AS), the objects (customizing or business) are replicated between SRM and R/3, according to the filters you've put on the object (R3AC1 for Business objects like MATERIAL, R3AC3 for customizing objects like DNL_CUST_PROD0 and 1).
    -Delta loads:
    This option is only possible for Business objects, which is the case of MATERIAL.
    With this option a daemon is launched between the 2 servers. Every modification made on an object on SRM or R/3 is transfered as soon as this object is contained in the filter retrictions (creation and/or modification). this is done through transaction R3AC4.
    Also refer the foll thread:
    Material group from R/3 to COMM_CATEGORY (SRM)

  • Win8 automatic update for Flash 11.6.602.171

    Win8 Pro with automatic updates did not install KB2819372 (providing 11.6.602.171) correctly.
    Result was that some flash-source (e.g. youtube) would play normally (metro and desktop!), other sources would not start (facebook, macromedia and adobe test sites that show the version, e.g. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html).
    Also, the HP Solution Center (used to scan on HP devices) would not start, as it did not detect the IE plugin.
    Error message was all alike: no Flash plugin installed, guiding me to the adobe download area (which does not work for Win8/IE10, as the plugin is provided by Win8), or leaving the flash area greyed out / empty.
    After KB2819372 was manually removed and reinstalled via windows update, IE10 behaviour returned back to normal.
    As I did not find any working solution for my problem, I thought I could share my experience.

    Thank you for posting!  I'll let our Win 8 team know and will keep this in mind if anyone else encounters this problem.

  • The latest automatic update was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived with the same "request". Why and what do I need to do to stop this?

    The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7.

    Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 is not the latest version of Flash. '''r152''' is the latest.

  • Is Using the Automatic Update for Flash Player Safe? It is Installed In System Preferences On My Mac

    Hello-
    One day I noticed that there was an icon on my MacBook Pro of Adobe Flash on the last row of system Preferences.  I had never seen it before, and I had ben using Flash for a long time and updating it regularly.
    It recently told me there is a newer version.  I did not let it install it because I am having so many problems with viewing Flash Videos on websites.  I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I use Safari 5.1.5, the latest as far as I know.
    In using this automatic updater for Flash (there are actually several tabs when I click the Adobe icon not just the updater) in the Advanced tab of the Flash Player icon are there any special things I should do if I click yes update?  should I close all the windows, apps, Safari?  do a restart?  I am debating if I should do a Clean Install, wipe all Flash Player off the Mac and just install the latest version rather then letting the updater install the latest version, which I think is 11.2.202.228.  I currently have 11.1.102.64 with a bunch of video issues.
    Thanks for any assistance.

  • Windows 7: Flash Player automatic update fails due missing admin privilege. UAC issue?

    The Windows 7 account I am using has admin privilege.
    The automatic update displays an error message pop-up. In English it would be something like: "The installation encountered errors: You need administrator privlige to install Adobe Flash Player. Please log on as an administrator and try again."
    At Windows 7 I am using the standard UAC security level settings and I am not willing to lower them. I am also not willing to install a Player update manually for three browsers every other week.
    Any solution?
    Thanks

    Your page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html mirrors my Flash Player as
    at Chrome: 11.2.202.229
    at Firefox: 10.3.183.11
    at IE: 10.3.183.11
    So I manually update once more for Firefox and once more for IE and hope it will update automatically from then on.
