Batch export for action script?

Is there some way I can apply the Linkage>Export for
action script function to multiple items in the library at one
time?
Thanks.

if you can, you'll still need to give each an instance name
to refer to when using it.

How do I batch "Export For Web" from Quicktime, one at a time

I have 20 quicktime movies in folder A.
I would like to "Export for Web" for all 3 options (iPhone, iPhone (cellular), and Desktop) to folder B.
How do I create an automator script to complete this action one at a time, until they are finished converting?
Also, I do not want to delete the originals.
I have never used Automator, but I'm guessing it should be easy to execute a shut down command when it is done...
Thanks a lot!

iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

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

No Method of Batch Export for Clips with Alpha Channels?

Good morning,
As many a flustered editor has eventually discovered, in order for FCP to export sequences with alpha channels to a 32-bit format, the timeline has to be un-rendered at the time of export, or else the transparent parts will appear black in the outputted file. This sort-of makes sense if you know how FCP and render files work, but in a perfect world I think I'd have designed the export interface a bit differently. Now that I think about it, I'm actually working in an Animation (Millions of Colors +) sequence, so converting transparent areas to black makes no logical sense at all.
Anyway, I have several sequences that I would like to export as 32-bit TGA QuickTime files, preserving their transparency. If I Export Using Compressor, the process results in pre-rendering of the sequence, turning the transparent areas black. The same problem occurs if I export QuickTime reference movies from FCP and open them directly with Compressor.
Does anyone know of a way to avoid this silly phenomenon or am I stuck individually exporting each sequence from FCP, one...at.......a................time?
Thanks,
Zap

Thanks, Andy, "Batch Export" eventually did the trick!
I forgot about that tool because I've never actually had to use it before! After playing around with it for a while, I found that as long as the sequence settings for each sequence in the batch are set to a codec with an activated alpha channel, it works just fine.
Thanks again,
Zap

Designer looking for Action Script/XML galleries

Recommendation for Action Script Text book?

I am looking for a good reference to a text book on Action Script, both 2 and 3.
(hard copy text, it is easier than having stacks of windows opened and sort through to find what I need)
Some of the questions that a good text would answer are:
1: How do I know what base classes to import into any given .as file to cover the functionality?
2: How linkage works and what I can apply it to.
for instance if I want to add an event listener, can I do stage.addEventListener(....etc)
when the class is linked to a movieClip. If I use this.addEventListener, it attaches the
event listener to the object to which the class is linked, right?
3: The feature sets that each version of Flash Player supports, as well as browser
   Flash plugins.
4: How to handle permission problems when attempting to send data via post to a server
   (if have been following an example and get errors regarding permissions when attempting
    to have action script send data about the Flash plugin the client is using).
5: How javascript in a pdf file differs from browser javascript where embedded Flash content
(in the pdf file) is concerned.
6: How to troubleshoot AS2 and AS3 linkage problems.
   (I have followed an exercise example in text I use, mentioned below, and have had the
result fail without errors. But I suspect there may be a difference between CS3 and CS4
that would account for this).
Initially, I have been generating at least 4 different versions of swf files for each version
of Flash Player back to v7. Javascript and server side code is used to determine which
version to load for the client requesting it.
Currently I am using the Adobe pdf manual and Lynda.com: 'ActionScript 3.0 for Adobe
Flash CS3 Professional Hands On Training', although I am using Flash CS4 Professional.
It is a starter text but not extensive into theory and practice.
I have done tons of Javascript and PHP programming (PHP on the server side).
It is better for me to have as much information and guidance in a text book than posting
to a forum for every problem I encounter.
Than you for advice and suggestions

Acrobat SDK for Action Script 3 developers?

Hi,
is there or will there be any possibility of accessing the Acrobat SDK via Action Script 3?
As far as I know the Acrobat SDK is based on the C programming language. I wonder if there will be an integration with Adobe AIR, Flash, Flex technologies, i.e. a bridge to Action Script 3.
Any news, help, ideas? Thanks in advance!

Adobe AIR offers integration with the Acrobat SDK. There are a variety of samples available in the AIR SDK and Adobe Labs...

Import and/or export for actionscript without extention?

I have a project in which I need to import several hundered png images.
When I import them into the library, then select all the images, then view the properties, I Check the export for action script and the export in frame 1.
Now, all my images have class names that I can access though my code, however, it included the file extensions in the class names, thus making invalid class names.
Is there any way I can import and/or set class names so they do not include the file extensions without having to do it manually for EVERY file?

My actual project has something like 9200 images in it.
if my main project, let's call it "main.fla", was to contain every one of those images, every time I tried to run or debug it, it would take FOREVER to compile... as a work around that I discovered in a previous project was to put all my graphics and media into an swc file. (Let's call it MyLibrary.swc)
While I was trying to get the swc working, I discovered that while my media in the swc was indeed setup to be exported for actionscript with unquie classes and everything, when I compiled and built my project, I could not get any of those media elements using the getDefinitionByName function.
After alot of reading and trail and error I found that the only way to get it to work was to have someplace in my code, an actual reference to the objects that I was trying to get with getDefinitionByName. It turned out, that without instantiating the object in the code, the compiler was omitting it.
Now, but instantiate, I mean doing this:
var bm:BitmapData = new MyImage();
Where MyImage.png is in my swc and has a class defined as "MyImage"
Once I do that, then I can do this
var classRef:Class = Class( getDefinitionByName("MyImage") );
But without that line above SOMEWHERE in my code (even if it's not actually executed), the getDefinitionByName returns an error saying it can't find the class.
Now, here's the problem.
When I import all my images into my swc library they get named with the file extention... "MyImage.png" and when I select all the images that Imported and batch set the export for actionscript, they get automatically assigned a class name equal to their library name, so the class name is "MyImage.png"
so if I wanted to use getDefinitionByName to access the class, I would need to instantiate it in my code by doing this:
var bm:BitmapData = new MyImage.png();
BUT, that is erronous as the period causes an error and the adobe docs says right in it that class names can't use periods or any other non-alphanumeric character.
So while the getDefinitionByName function DOES actually work with classes with periods in them, because my media is external of the main.fla, I can't load it unless it's instantiated first, which leaves me right back where I was.... having to to manually rename over 9000 classes manually one at a time.
I did some searching and found the "Flash Library Renamer" extension, but it requires me changing all my class names to be sequenial, which the vast majority is not.
Is there a way that I can import the files into the library and have it omit the file extension?
if not, is there a way that I can set the class names in a batch and not have it use the file extentions?
if not, is there an Flash Extention or plug in that will allow batch renaming using regular expression or wildcards?

Action batch export issue with image trace

So, currently I'm working on batch processing jpeg sequences using illustrator's image trace and distortion effects. I have batch exported the image traces of the sequences via Adobe bridge. Now I'm trying to create an action which opens the .ai files containing those image traces, apply a graphic style to the trace, and export a png from that. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work right now. If I do the steps (step by step... not using a recorded action) I want on a single file, it works great, but the moment I batch export using the action I've created, it puts the original .png image that the image trace was linked to, on top of the image. The result is a bunch of .png exports that look exactly like my original image sequence. If I add a "save" function to the action and open the resulting .ai files, I can see that the image trace vectors are in the file. The "linked png" however visible on the layer above those vectors. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? How do I get rid of that pesky linked image.
Also, for anyone who might be thinking that it has something to do with expanding the image trace before applying effects, this issue I'm running into, I've determined, is happening higher up in the hierarchy of the actions... If I simply make an action to open the image trace illustrator file and save it back out, the same issue occurs... placing the .png "linked file" on top of the vector image.
While I'm at it, I might as well ask if anyone knows how to change the illustrator default image trace preset.... Without being able to change it, or much less specify in the action sequence that I'd like to use a user created image trace preset rather than the default setting, it's greatly overcomplicating my workflow. Makes what could easily be one-step batch processing into two. Seems pretty silly if you ask me.
Please, if you guys have any insights on this, let me know. It's super frustrating... By the way, if you're wondering what type of effect I'm going for, the idea (as well as some explanation into their own process) starts at 12:44 of this video (http://vimeo.com/77427470).
THANKS!

Just wanted to let you guys know, for anyone who might be having my same issue... My home computer, even after a fresh install of Illustrator, was still placing the linked jpeg over the traced vector shapes when batch exporting... I did however find a workaround. Rather than using Bridge CS6 for the batch image tracing, I used Bridge CS5 to trace in Illustrator CS5. Then, I used Illustrator CS6 to batch export an action that imported and applied an effect to those image traced sequences. When you do this, it forces you to expand the tracing on import (because of the difference in Illustrator versions I'm assuming). This way, when you batch run the action, it's already working with expanded vector shapes. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I was having some issues getting Illustrator to apply the graphic style when batch exporting. I got it to work by copying an object with that particular graphic style to the clipboard, then adding in the action I was running a "paste" command, followed by a "clear" command. I can only assume that Illustrator was having issues loading custom graphics styles while batch exporting. The paste/delete technique is annoying, but gets it done.
Anyways. Just wanted to check in on this one. I'm happy I was able to muscle my way through it all.

How to Batch Export Wide Still images

Hello,
I'm currently working on a project that uses Widescreen. I have no problems exporting the movie project to DVDstudio pro file, but when I try to Batch Export the Still Clips I took, it makes it into 4:3 size, rather than 16:9. Because of this, pictures look squished. How would I fix this since I didn't see any options in Batch Export for wide.
I'm using Final Cut Pro 5.0.4

As mentioned above, that is a possibility. You haven't said how you plan to use them. If quality is paramount I would advise against doing a "destructive" stretch on them unless you're moving them to a final definitive size as in web graphics. There's little enough resolution in SD video to start with.
If you're using them in the print world they will fare much better if they are stretched within the production app. Just ignore the aspect ratio and tell it they're an inch by 9/16ths, or 16x9 cm, or whatever system you're working with.
If you dig around in Photoshop, they have a system to identify and deal with with NTSC tall pixels, perhaps they have one for anamorphic as well. More confusing than helpful to me.

Action script error on a button

I have added following code on a button, btn_lab5, but I get
an error msg ,"Must appear within on handler". Thanks in advance!!!
btn_lab5.onRelease=function(){
gotoAndStop("intro", 1);
Thanks in advance!!!

No, I don't have button within a button. But, Thanks for your
input.
Fortunately, I have found the solution by changing few things
around. Here is what I was trying to do..
1. Four buttons were placed on the same time line 15 frames
apart.
2. Added action script at each button and also tried adding
seperate layer for action script but when I ran my movie same
script played for every button.
Finally, got frustrated and placed all the buttons at the
same point in timeline and added action script by adding another
layer.Visually I am not getting the desired result with buttons but
code is working. I would really love to have buttons appear
gradually on the screen. Let me know if any one of has any thoughts
to share....
Thanks a lot!!!!

Action Script?

Hi All,
I have create a Application for transaction VA01. Can anybody tell me how to write Action script ?
Please Help. ASAP.

Hi,
Transaction code for action script is WDK_APPL_REG
1) There you need to register your Variant transaction and specify your floor plan
either QAF or GAF or OIF in Applications.
2) You have to spcify your different Floor Plan States like INI, S01, S01, CFN etc.
3) For Floorplan states you should assign dynpro assignment ( i.e., Program name and screen number ).
4) And u need to assign actions for every state.
5) Next go to Script definition and assign action script and u need to record va01 transaction with SHDB, and submit program, dynpro, bdc filed value in batchinput data.
6) If u want to raise any messages, click on Message Mapping and submit message name and number.
Finally you need to save your action script.
Best Regards,
Vara Prasad.

Script for Batch Exporting XML from IDCS3 files

Does anyone have a script they would share for batch exporting XML from IDCS3 files? I do not know anything about scripting so I do not know how to write one myself. I've also searched around and cannot find anything. I would appreciate any help with this anyone can offer.
Thanks,
Janine

Or use below Code:
try {
     inFolderName= Folder.selectDialog ("Input Folder:");
     outFolderName= Folder.selectDialog ("Output Folder:");
     if ((inFolderName != null) && (outFolderName != null))
          var idFileFolder = new Folder(inFolderName);
          var files = idFileFolder.getFiles("*.indd");
          for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < files.length; myCounter++)
               var theDocument = app.open(File(files[myCounter]));
               with ( theDocument ) {
               myXMLFile = new File(outFolderName + "/" + name.replace(".indd","") + ".xml" );
               exportFile( ExportFormat.xml, myXMLFile );
               close(SaveOptions.no);
catch (err ) {
alert("All files export");

Action script for batch-opening psd layer files flat? (alt+shift?)

hi
i am daily batch processing with an action script to make flat tiffs from psd layer files, like 10-100 files every couple of days in my workflow.
until now i could not fine a solution to begin the batch processing-action with opening layer files FLAT.
the reason is: i am working with huge files, 5-20GB .psb files, (16bit, ECI-RGB, 50x100cm, 300dpi) and it takes a couple of seconds to open with my pcie-SSD.
that multiplies the time it takes to open 50 of such files. i would gain a lot of time, if photoshop cs6 would not open it with layers, but flat.
there is a workaround i am using daily: (osx) hold alt+shift, then click on the layer file in the finder and cs6 opens it flat.
but that did not work in the action script. it doesnt store the keyboard command alt+shift.
any idea how i could save time and use the alt+shift command in the action script or any other solution please?
thanks
peter

I just tried to record this using ScriptListener, and it didn't record it either. No indo in the ExtendScript SDK on this either. I don't think that this is possible at this time. Maybe someone who know more than I do can find a way.

Export for the Web and File Naming : Batch problem in Photoshop CC

Is it possible to use "File Naming" when you are using in a batch "Save for the Web" export ?
What I want to do:
I have images that I need to resize, crop and rename (change "filename.jpg" to "filename_850x490.jpg" and make an optimisation for the web
I want to create an action that I can use in a batch
What is working :
I can use my action (resize, crop, save) and use file renaming option if I use "save as" options
I can use my action (resize, crop, save for the web ...) but the file renaming option are not use at the export,
So I have to create two actions (one for resize, crop and rename and an other to compress images with "save for the web"
==> What's wrong with "File rename" and "save for the web"?
Thank You for support !
My Environement :
Photoshop CC : last update
OS : Windows 8 Entreprise - 64 bits
Proc : Intel Xeon CPU E5 3.00 GHz - Ram : 8 GB - GPU : AMD FirePro V5900 (FireGL V)

Probably a lot easier if you use the Image Processor Pro script
