Background controlled by navigation (Dynamic Background?)

Hello,
I would like to create an effect that loads a fullscreen background image that changes according to the navigation selection. The background will be replaced everytime the navigation is activated.
This effect can be scene here: http://www.meatmarketmiami.com
Where do I start?
Thanks
Richard

Start with creating a movieclip that contains different background images as movieclips. I cannot address the specifics of the transition effect used in your example site, but a simple version would be to use a Tween that manages the alpha properties of the movieclips so that one fades out (or in), and manage the depths to agree with the fade in or out approach... fade out, the one leaving is placed on top, fade in, the one appearing is placed on top.

Controlling the Navigation Pane from Topic links

I've followed Rick Stone's instructions (in his Skinny on Skins tips file) for controlling the navigation pane from topic links, but I've included the reference to whtbar.js in my Master Page (as I want it to be available to all my topics) instead of in a single topic in my WebHelp output. It works fine, however, I'm experiencing a page flicker whenever I click a link which opens the TOC, Index, Glossary, etc. Does anyone know if this can be avoided?
Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Willam
No your method still works fine thanks (without any page flicker). However, it only opens and closes the navigation pane. What I've been playing around with is the idea of hiding the standard WebHelp toolbar by setting its height to zero in the .SKN and then creating my own toolbar in a Master Page that controls the navigation pane, i.e. with Home, Contents, Index, Search, and Glossary links. That way I have more control over how the toolbar looks and, for example, I can use some script to power drop-down menus, etc. I've been looking at using the Bootstrap framework.
I seems to work okay, apart form the annoying page flicker when I use the links in my custom toolbar.
Oh well, maybe I'm trying to push the boundaries a little too far?!
Thanks anyway,
Jonathan

Failing to take control of navigation

Hi,
Im trying to take control of the navigation. Im using MyFaces.
let me explain:
I wish to have my own piece of code to parse the request URI and control the navigation to the next JSF page.
This functionality is desired for accomplishing a permalinks scheme of some sort.
For example
The link root/yuval/yuvals_stuff should cause the following to happen:
- I parse the request with a servlet filter and know that we need to load some data for yuval.
- I use a ViewHandler to load the data (it delegates the call to some service that gets the data from the database)
- I now forward the user to a known jsf page that is bounded with the viehandler and presents yuval's stuff .
Actually, the first time i try to use the code, the navigation goes well. But right after refresh or calling the same url again I get an exception. The code and the exception are provided here:
Here is what i do inside a servlet filter (I also tried to put this code inside the faces servlet, just for testing):
<code>
FacesContext fc = FacesUtils.getFacesContext(req, res);
String action = "#{viewPollViewHandler.go2}";
javax.faces.application.Application application = fc.getApplication();
MethodBinding mb = application.createMethodBinding("#{viewPollViewHandler.go2}",null);
String outcome = (String)mb.invoke(fc, null);
String fromAction = mb.getExpressionString();
NavigationHandler navigationHandler = application.getNavigationHandler();
navigationHandler.handleNavigation(fc, fromAction, outcome);
String viewId = fc.getViewRoot().getViewId();
UIViewRoot view = fc.getApplication().getViewHandler().createView(fc, viewId);
view.setViewId(viewId);
fc.setViewRoot(view);
fc.getExternalContext().dispatch(viewId);
fc.responseComplete();
</code>
Explanation:
First we try to get the FacesContext, using the current request and response objects. Now we know what action we want to invoke on what ViewHandler, so we go ahead and make a method binding for this method through the JSF Application context. Now we invoke the method and get the outcome String from it. Till now everything seems to work ok � we get the ViewHandler's method invoked correctly and we get the proper outcome String from it.
This means the ViewHandler is now populated with our needed data, so all we have left to do is go to the presentation page that uses this ViewHandler.
We use JSF's NavigationHandler to navigate as usual, giving it a "fromAction" and an outcome. Now we want the name of the page for this navigation, so we get the view id from the FacesContext. The view id is correct and points to the next page as states in the faces-navigation.xml, so we set it as the new view root and try to "dispatch()" (which is the same as "forward()") to it.
The result seems sufficient, as we get to the next page and all the data is presented correctly (sometimes, in IE only we experienced some javascript errors that were unknown). The big problem occurs when trying to hit "REFRESH" or clicking back and then trying the original href link again. We suddenly get a NullPointerException that occurred in the "getValue()" method of JSF's getValueBinding()".
Can anyone contribute?
Thank in advance!
Yuval.

Diference between view controler and navigation controler

Hello,
please what is the diference between view controler and navigation controler.
Thank you for your answer

a Navigation Controller is a Subclass of a View Controller. It has some additional Functionality. Please read the Apple Documentation for further information
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/UIKit/Reference/UINavigat ionController_Class/Reference/Reference.html

Control of Navigation

Hi, I am a fairly experienced Captivate user, but not a
programmer. I have several small movies that I am jumping back and
forth between in a longish branching scenario.
I put one button, on Slide 4 of Movie 1, that jumps to Movie
2. No problem.
I WANT To put a button... or just make Movie 2 go when it
ends, back to Slide 5 of Movie 1.
I cannot find a way to do this... does anyone know if there
is a way to make the OPEN PROJECT command on a button you place go
specifically to a certain page within that movie?
This seems like basic navigation to me.. surely Adobe didn't
overlook this one... does anyone know the way to do this?
My eternal gratitude, rainyrainy

Okee Dokee,
Navigation in captivate seems to be a big problem (at least
for me).
I have not quite come up with a viable solution. I am still
working on an idea or method. I am open to suggestions. I have got
some help from this outstanding web site. I mean, it is really
good. Check it out, and click on links for Captivate,
LegacyCaptivateController, etc.
http://pipwerks.com.
Even with all that good info, I have yet to come up with a
satisfactory plan. I am also looking at Articulate.com, which is a
Flash quiz site, which will require something like javascript to
get running from a Captivate slide. I am thinking that I would use
javascript, or an embedded "code" swf to open the quiz.
Any suggestions for navigating through a fairly large
project?
In my case the application is going to have to run on a CD.
I have tried exe files, lag time too long between each exe to
appear on the screen. I have also tried using the small version of
server2go.
this is a cd web server, using Apache and php, etc. The
dumbed down version (small file, and no reqmt for mysql) was the
only one that would open on my system, and seems to work fine.
I have many separate apps. This is supposed to be a training
course for MS Excel. We have two people creating lessons on various
features for excel. We plan to use quizzes as well.
This course has 4 major sections (this would be a menu with 4
big buttons on it, and a pretty background). Each section will have
multiple lessons, and quizzes. We need to be able to go back and
forward 1 slide at a time (yes, I have looked at using the secret
Captivate variables, and it works). We need to go back to previous
lesson and go forward to next lesson. We also need to be able to do
this from a quiz, and we also need to track which lesson they have
run, and also to go back to the very start of things. All this is
pretty ugly for captivate. We have tested a Captivate only example
with users, and they always come up with "why can't I go back?"
etc. We do not have an LMS.
I am open to any navigtion techniques, plans, or suggestions.
This is a great forum.
thanks,

SWFLOADER Control - Passing parameters dynamically

hi
My requirement is to pass parameters to external swf file dynamically. For this I am using SwfLoader control. I am trying to bind the source property of swfLoader to a variable which gets set at creationComplete event of application but this do not work and swf file is not rendered.
Second option I tried creating the control dynamically in creation complete event of application, but this is also not working.
I am using Flex 3 and flash 9. Please let me know how to proceed. The parameter to the external swf should be passed dynamically. Below is the code.

Screen Personas: Create or control button visibility dynamically

Hi,
In Screen Personas, would it be possible to do the following with use of scripting functionality,
1. Dynamically create controls e.g. buttons and assign actions to them
2. Control Field Visibility( for GUI fields or Persona fields) at runtime
Regards,
Jeron

Hi Tobias,
Thanks for clarifying. We are currently evaluating Screen Personas for use in SAP DMS.
Scenario we are trying to simplify is the workflow process in DMS. A DIR(Document) in DMS, has a status field with various values such as
1. Initial Draft
2. Submit for Approval
3. Approved
4. Rejected
5. Archive
6. Retire etc...
Users, have to pick right status values from an F4 pop-up to pass document along the business process. This is not very intuitive and we would like to provide buttons on screen corresponding to each valid status that can be selected at that point in time. When a button is selected say, "Approve" or "Reject" the corresponding status value should be filled up in the standard status(hidden) field.
We have numerous doc types and too many status values. Hence, the static approach of defining buttons in Personas does not scale up and is not support friendly.
I hope i have been able to explain the scenario correctly. If required, i am open to having a call and can elaborate this in detail.
Regards,
Jeron

Lync Server 2010 Control Panel - "navigation to the webpage was canceled"

Hi All,
I just installed Lync Server 2010. The SQL 2008 is installed on a separate box and both servers are on Windows 2008 R2.
However, when I try to start the "Lync Server 2010 Control Panel" i get a blank page with the following message "Navigation to the webpage was canceled"
The Installation had no errors and went well. But I did have one problem in the Topology Builder where is asked to create a File Share and asked for FQDN and File Share. I entered "Server1.domain.com" and File Share "Poolshare" but it did
not like it and error with a red cross saying..
"FQDN Server1.domain.com is already used in this topology"
So in the end I just change it to "Server1" then published and ran the installation sucessfully and all services are started OK
Any idea? could it be that the file share is not using FQDN?
Thanks
ECL

I have reveiwed this topic but have not been able to fing my answer. I am getting the same result when attempting to connect to the Lync Control Panel and the webpage saying "navigation was canceled..". Here are the details, any assistance is greatly
appreciated:
I have an existing OCS 2007 R2 server setup in the domain. My domain is company.CORP. It is a Standard Edition server for IM and Presence only. There is an Edge server as well and I have PIC enabled. My sipinternaltls SRV record to the current SE Front End.
All works great. There is a SIP.company.com record in the domain too. I am standing up LYNC 2010 environment on HyperV and ran topology builder twice because I had to fix a name. (I see in Mac's comment that I need to run step2 again. Why is that?)
My Share is on the HyperV server that is hosting the Front End server but they are completely different servernames. My topology published successfully and create some data in the File Share and the Backend DB was created and populated with tables. The certificates
were successfully applied and all services started right up. The latest version of Silverlight was installed and the server was rebooted. Still the darn White Page with 'Navigation to the webpage was canceled'.
I am able to go into IIS and launch the Control Panel successfully by browsing on the "cscp" directory for the Lync Server Internal Web Site. I can also connect to the Control Panel by using the
httpS://admin.company.com/cscp but I have to put 'cscp ' in the path. I cannot browse AD using the Control Panel to find my TestLyncUser1 account but I can find the account, and successfully enable
the account, using the Lync Management Shell. The account was enables and was able to successfully login to the Lync FE server (manually, since the SRV record point to OCS).
This is where I am stuck. Why won't it launch from the Programs File Tool and why do I have to designate the CSCP in the URL? I am Not sure why I couldn't browse AD successfully in the Control Panel yet I could with Powershell. I will begin troubleshooting
that issue next. Could it be because my sip.company.com record points to a different OCS Pool? Or my SRV internaltls record points to the OCS Pool? Microsoft supports standing up the two environments side-by-side and migrating but maybe I am missing something.
Any ideas anyone?
I want to add that I will be having a FE Pool and have named and published my second FE but I have not installed it. The Pool VIP is created in DNS and only pointing to FE1 right now.

N96 music controls around navigation key

I'm sure when I first got my N96 the music controls around the navigation key only lit up when the music player was active. Now they come on all the time.
Can this be changed or is it a fault?

i believe they are lit on whenever the keypad light is on, they are off when you slide the phone to reveal the upper player controls in which case the ones around the navigation wheel will turn off.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

Flash movie controlling Captivate navigation in an Aggregator project

Hi everyone,
I have a Flash movie which shows a Continue button after an interaction is completed by the user. This functionality prevents the user from clicking through the interaction slides so there is no captivate playbar or nav available. This Continue button works fine in advancing the Captivate movie that contains the Flash movie while published as an individual captivate file. However, when I take that published captivate movie and load it into an aggregator project, the communication of the cpCmndGotoSlide variable does not function properly. I'm using the following code in the Flash movie:
// captivate access...
 var myRoot:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
 var cptxMovie:MovieClip = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
 var slide:String = cptxMovie.cpInfoCurrentSlide; // get current slide for workaround below
// Continue button handler...
// cptxMovie.cpCmndNext = 1; // wouldn't work at all
var theNextSlide:Number = Number(slide) + 1; // workaround for cpCmndNext not working
cptxMovie.cpCmndGotoSlide = theNextSlide;
Is this because I'm calling the root, and the root is the outermost parent (the aggregator movie) and I need to communicate with the immediate parent of the flash movie (the submodule captivate)?
How can I access the intermediate captivate while it is in aggregator?
This is an AS3 flash and captivate and I'm using Captivate 5.
Thanks in advance!
Brian

Hi Tristan,
Thanks for the reply and the great code!
I tried it out and got the dynamic text field to display that it had found the main timeline, however, it still would not advance properly. Maybe I'm not doing something right with it. Here's how I had it:
// captivate access...
var cptxMovie:MovieClip = getParentWithProperty("cpCmndGotoSlide", this);
var slide:String = cptxMovie.cpInfoCurrentSlide;
function getParentWithProperty(propertyName:String, startFrom:DisplayObjectContainer):MovieClip {
 if (startFrom.hasOwnProperty(propertyName)) {
 trace("Found the Captivate Main Timeline");
 checkCode.text = "Found the Captivate Main Timeline";
 return startFrom as MovieClip;
 else if (startFrom == stage) {
 trace("Could not find the Captivate Main Timeline");
 checkCode.text = "Could not find the Captivate Main Timeline";
 return null;
 else {
 return getParentWithProperty(propertyName, startFrom.parent);
// advance button handler...
function advance(e:Event):void {
 for (var i:uint=0; i < orangeCircleArray.length; i++) {
 orangeCircleArray[j].removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollover);
 orangeCircleArray[j].removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onRollout);
 var slideNum:Number = Number(slide);
 var theNextSlide:Number = slideNum + 1;
 cptxMovie.cpCmndGotoSlide = theNextSlide;
 btnContinue.removeEventListner(MouseEvent.CLICK, advance);
Thanks! Brian

Controlling instances in dynamic forms with a strange twist.

Hello, Is there a way to program a numeric text field that controls the number of instances of a subform? For example, I would like to have a nested subform appear twice in the form if the user enters 2 in the numeric field. But more importantly, I would like to see its corresponding XML output appear like the following: <SUBUNIT_1> <LENGTH></LENGTH> <SEQUENCE> ELEESGGGLVQPGGRQSPEKGLETHYAE </SEQUENCE> <N_TERMINAL>Yes</N_TERMINAL> <C_TERMINAL></C_TERMINAL> </SUBUNIT_1> <SUBUNIT_2> <LENGTH></LENGTH> <SEQUENCE> ELEESGGGLVQPGGRQSPEKGLETHYAE </SEQUENCE> <N_TERMINAL>No</N_TERMINAL> <C_TERMINAL></C_TERMINAL> </SUBUNIT_2> If you pay close attention to the above code, you will see that I want the parent tag's ending digit incremented each time the subform is repeated. <SUBUNIT_1> <SUBUNIT_2> <SUBUNIT_3> ect . . . That is the twist! Is this programmatically possible? Regards. Harold

Harold, The code to create a specific number of instances is as follows: JavaScript Subform1.setInstances(2); or Subform.instanceManager.setInstances(2); FormCalc comments.setInstances(2); // Subform name = comments If you are looking for documentation watch out: it's listed as setInstance rather than setInstances! If your form is associated to a specific data structure via a Data Connection (typically an XSD) then a subform repeats based on a repeating element in the XML or, if the subform instances are instatiated programatically as yours would need to be, then the generated data will have repeated elements. If, however, your form fields are not bound to any specific data structure then you've got your work cut out but I think you could achieve the twist you require. I think you will have to write some code to build the XML structure that you require. Your code can refer to the fields on the form to extract the data and build the <dataset>. You'll need to know about scripting DOM (Document Object Model) to achieve this. A third option, if you are using Forms Server or LC Workflow to process the form submission, is to write Java code that processes the submitted data and transforms it to the required strucure. Or a fourth that has just crossed my mind is to associate an XSLT stylesheet to the form to process the outgoing doing. I'm afraid I don't really know any more about that to be 100% sure that would satisfy your requirement. Hope these ideas help. Neil
