The Flash Player ActiveX Control is the add-on for Internet Exporer; the plugin is for other browsers like Mozilla Firefox.
If you need more information, please ask in the Flash Player forum.

Beginner font questions

These are some beginner font questions if someone has the time/patience.
I've never paid much attention to fonts over the years, never installed
any other than those that might have come with applications. Early on,
15 years ago or so, I settled on Palatino and I've stayed with it for
most docs (Word 5.1a and now Word vX) and often for other apps (Safari,
Now).
I just upgraded to Tiger (10.4.4) and I use Word vX.
Questions:
1. I gather from looking at Font Book that when I'm using Palatino in
Tiger that OS X is getting it from my OS 9 System folder for Classic.
It does not look like Palatino is in any other locations including MS
Office vX. Does that make sense?
2. I always thought that Palatino was a very basic, always available
font. Not so?
3. If I decide to stop using Classic, and I'm close to that time, can I
transfer those fonts to OS X? If so, to which location is best.
4. And are the same fonts used for printing and screen? In other words
back in pre OS X days I thought some fonts came in screen versions and
print versions but my memory is hazy on that. Not only that.
Thank you for any education or links for info.

That's correct.

It seems to be out of favor.
3. If I decide to stop using Classic, and I'm close
to that time, can I
transfer those fonts to OS X? If so, to which
location is best.
Yes, you can just put it in Users/username/Library/Fonts (or Library/Fonts for all users).

Designer beginner's question: How to populate form with XML web service output?

sorry, here is yet another Adobe Designer beginners question: My form uses a webservice data connection which returns an xml-string like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <CurrentWeather> <Location>Sion, Switzerland (LSGS) 46-13N 007-20E 481M</Location> <Time>Apr 26, 2007 - 09:50 AM EDT / 2007.04.26 1350 UTC</Time> <Wind> from the WSW (240 degrees) at 15 MPH (13 KT):0</Wind> <Visibility> greater than 7 mile(s):0</Visibility> <SkyConditions> partly cloudy</SkyConditions> <Temperature> 80 F (27 C)</Temperature> <DewPoint> 46 F (8 C) </DewPoint> <RelativeHumidity> 30%</RelativeHumidity> <Pressure> 29.88 in. Hg (1012 hPa)</Pressure> <Status>Success</Status> </CurrentWeather> What is the simplest and recommended way to extract the element fields to my form? Thank you very much an kind regards, Hans Grund

The question is still unanswered!
Let me give some details and break up the problem
in more specific questions:
- In Designer 8.1 I click new data binding --> wsdl -->
http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx?wsdl
A message box comes up and says "cannot load wsdl file"
==> 1. Question:
Why maybe refuses Designer to load the http-wsdl,
although this option is explicitly allowed?
- When I save the wsdl to a file, Designer loads it
without any problems. The web service uses two input parameters
(CountryName and CityName) and returns an xml-string GetWeatherResult)
like the one in my first posting. I drag these fields from the binding view to my form, and it runs ok!
- THE PROBLEM IS, THAT I NEET TO EXTRACT THE ELEMENT FIELDS
FROM THE RESULT XML-STRING!
==> 2. Question:
How to extract xml element fields from wsdl output into a form?
- I tried with eclipse and XmlSpy to build a modified wsdl file
with structured output definition, so that the specific element fields
show up in the data binding view and are usable to my form,
and the modified wsdl maps consistently to the web service result string.
So far without success: In the PDF -preview or Reader-
when the wsdl-binding is executed and the web service output
should show up in the result fields, just nothing happens.
==> 3. Question:
Can this strategy to provide a "modified wsdl" possibly succeed,
and how?
==> 4. Question:
Is is possible -and how?- to check whether an xml string
is valid as web service output against the wsdl-definition?
==> 5. Question:
How to debug a web service connection with Designer?
- Finally I tried to find a way to load the result xml-string
into a local var in the script editor and parse it, much like:
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.load(DataSet.MyForm.GetWeatherResult.rawValue);
==> 6. Question:
Is it possible -and how?- to use a framework like dotnet?
How to utilize SAX or DOM in Designer?
Many thanks and appreciations for your help!!

Submitting a PDF form via HTTP Post: Beginner's Questions

Hi,
I am completely new to PDF forms, so I have been finding the documentation and options overwhelming.
I am hoping to get pointed to the documentation/tutorials/examples I really need.
I would like to build a "proof of concept" for my boss. I would like to include a screen in our Java ( JSP & Spring ) webapp where either a PDF form is embedded or is accessed via a link.
I have
Adobe Acrobat Distiller X standard license
Adobe Acrobat X Standard
Microsoft Office 2010
I made a small, 3 field Microsoft Word form. I then converted it via DIstiller into a PDF form.
I then found this document about how to submit a PDF form to a server side component:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/form-submit-e-mail-demystified
My big problem with this document it doesn't have an example nor an example showing what is going on in a full HTML page. As I result I have some questions:
Can I see such an example somewhere?
Does the call to the javascript function doc.SubmitForm(urlToMyServerSideComponent) go in a script tag on the HTML page like other javascripts?
Can I execute that submit function from an HTML button or do I need to put a "submit" button on the PDF form?
Do I need Adobe LiveCycle in order to create a PDF form with a "submit" button? Free versions?
Can I send via HTTP POST ?
Do I need Adobe LiveCycle to crate a PDF form with a digital signature?
Is there a document/tutorial that fits where I am starting off from? ( Please no books, I am tyring to show my boss that this is something that can be done, in a reasonable amount of time, not time to get and go through a book ).
Thanks in advance for any tips that get me pointed in the right direction
Steve

To answer some of your specific questions:
2, 3. The submit form button needs to be on the PDF. You can either configure a Submit Form action or use the submitForm JavaScript method.
4, 6: No to both questions. You can create the form in Acrobat. Such forms are knows as Acroforms, as opposed to XFA forms that are created with LiveCycle Designer. Acroforms have wider support.
5: Yes, that's the method that's used when submitting to a web server. You have your choice of formats. The "HTML Form" option causes the form data to be submitted in the same format as an HTML form, so the same type of server-side code can be used to process the data. As Dave's tutorial shows, the server should return an FDF as the response, however, as opposed to HTML content.
It's a mistake to try to embed the PDF in a web page. So much depends on the user's browser, PDF viewer, and how both are configured. PDF forms can be submitted directly from Adobe Reader/Acrobat, so it's not necessary for them to be viewed in a browser. Note that Adobe Reader for iOS/Android don't yet support submitting to a web server (apart from FormsCentral), but that's is supposedly being worked on.
Since you mentioned digital signatures, be aware that for Reader users to be able to sign, the document has to be Reader-enabled, either with Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is not the same as LiveCycle Designer). Digital signatures in PDF forms are not yet supported on mobile devices. Also, you will want to submit the entire PDF, as opposed to just the form data, when submitting a digitally signed form.

Beginner's Questions

As a really new beginner for BEx, I would like to ask you guys some basic questions.
1) I have a problem with designing a query to serve our requirement.
Fiscal Year Accounting Num. Amount AVG(Amount)
2006 10001 100 250
2006 10002 200 250
2006 10003 300 250
2006 10004 400 250
 Total(AVG) 250
2006 10005 300 350
2006 10006 400 350
 Total(AVG) 350
What I want is the forth column, which is equal to the average value of amount in the third column. For example, in group 1 (Accounting Number 10001 - 10004), the average of 100 - 400 is 250. In the forth column, I want to get 250.How can I do this?
2) How can I load a hierarchy from a text file in BI 7.0. I just see the option to maintain the hierarchy in BI, but I can't find the way to load the hierarchy from a text file.

Hi,
1.Create a formula or CKF which is equal to Amount. name it AVG(Amount).
right click AVG(Amount) in the query definition.select properties.select calculate single value as 'Average of all values<>0'.
i thnk this shld work!
Regards
Dhanya.

Beginner SSL questions

I am still very much a beginner and this is my first time trying to set SSL up. I am experiencing some issues and I am not really sure what to do. I hope this is the right forum to post this.
When I go to https://xxxx.xxxxx.net/myContext my login index.jsp page displays however
1.) In IE it's not showing the page as secured(no lock).
2.) When I log in using valid credentials the url becomes http://xxxx.xxxxx.net:443/myContext/myServlet
and the page I expect to display doesnt. It only displays this:
3.) None of my stylesheets are being used.
When I go to http://xxxx.xxxxx.net/myContext my login index.jsp page displays perfectly and I am able to log in and do see the expected page.
Apparently I missed a step somewhere or just the obvious but how do I get my index.jsp to use SSL. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Are you intentionally leaving a connector for port 80 open? If you don't need anything to be non-ssl enabled then you should comment out the port 80 connector and just have a connector for port 443. You should then be able to access any of your stuff via https://whatever/whathaveyou...
[edit]
this is an obvious question but you didn't mention it so just in case - you did create a self signed server certificate and import that into the keystore right? (or use a commercial certificate and import that and the CA chain into your trust store)

Beginner's question re:SAM's TY CS3 in 24 hours...

Presently I am teaching myself to use Photoshop CS3 on a Macbook Pro. In my tutorial the picture of the brushes palette includes Diameter, Flip X/Y, Angle, Roundness, Hardness, and Spacing.
The problem is that my brushes palette only includes master diameter.
I'm quite frustrated at this point, so I appreciate any explanation a more experienced user could offer.
Thanks.

> Come on John, you Buko and Charles gallantly put down the Op's selection of a $30 book.
Oh no no no no!
I did not at all mean to belittle "anon b52"!
Sorry if it came across as a personal slight. Just wanted to point out the absurdity of "teaching yourself" Adobe Photoshop CS3 in 24hrs.
Tick, tick, tick... Kiefer? Can we diffuse these Adjustment Layer Masks in time?
>better response would be to recommend a better book...
I have no idea the quality of the book anon mentions! If he asks for recommendations for good book on PS, I will, as many times in the past, recommend many books I've had the pleasure of reading.
My ONLY criticism here was the absurd title! That us why I quoted the title in full. Holy crow!
>Rarely does a newby return after one of you gets hold of him/her. If you've not noticed that, you too are so wrapped up in your self worth that you are completely blind to reality.
Please Barry, point out ONE of my posts where that is the case. Please, I like to review it.
I really try to be helpful in this forum.

Absolute beginner's question: scaling video in embedded player

Hi folks,
I'm an absolute beginner in flash video embedding - my company has purchased FMS 3.5 and I have to -simply- stream videos from a server via following HTML-Code:
<object width="800" height="600" id="videoPlayer" name="videoPlayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000">
<param name="movie" value="../swfs/videoPlayer.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="flashvars" value="&videoWidth='800'&videoHeight='600'&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=r tmp://<here the url>&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true" />
<embed src="../swfs/videoPlayer.swf" width="800" height="600" id="videoPlayer" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" name="videoPlayer" allowfullscreen="true" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="&videoWidth='800'&videoHeight='600'&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverU RL=rtmp://<here the url>&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</embed>
</object>
My problem is simply the scaling of the videos. The files are .flv-files and do stream very well from the source directory to my browser. But when I change the object-width or object-height the video is just cut instead of scaled.
If I change the videoHeight or videoWidth (in Flashvars) it has no effect. What am I doing wrong?
ps The player naturally scales the clips slightly larger than they really are. So I already guess that there's a setup-file with settings, but I have no idea where to look it up to configure the player.
I would appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance!
kuk

IN CASE someone has this problem too, it seems the standard Adobe stream player integrated in the FMS-Installation (...) cannot resize the video. So the solution seems to be using another player. I'll use the free FlowPlayer which I also used for replaying .flv-Files, and which has a rtmp-plugin for streaming. Good luck folks...

Beginner CSS questions

I previously designed an html website in Dreamweaver MX 2004
that I need to switch over to CSS. I've been studying pages and
pages of tutorials, and have some questions that haven't really
been addressed, or else I've been missing the point!
So far, I've successfully created a simple, external .css
file that had paragraph and heading rules, linked it to an
existing, table-based, html test-page, published it, and it worked
fine.
Now I want to get away from using tables to using divs, and
there's a sample layout in DW that I selected: Two column, elastic,
with header and footer. Now I'm confused.
In the sample page, along with css rules and instructions,
there are paragraphs of content:
<h1> Main Content </h1>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing
elit. Praesent aliquam, justo convallis luctus rutrum, erat nulla
fermentum diam, at nonummy quam ante ac quam. Maecenas urna purus,
fermentum id, molestie in, commodo porttitor, felis. Nam blandit
quam ut lacus. 
Question #1: Does this mean this isn't supposed to be an
external style sheet? Because I'm pretty sure one doesn't put any
content on an external style sheet. Can I turn this into an
external style sheet, and what do I need to do in order to
accomplish this?
Question # 2:
As mentioned above, my first foray into an external style
sheet worked fine with one of my table-based html pages. What I
fail to grok is when you set up an external style sheet with divs
how exactly do you put your content on your page in design view? Do
I need to convert tables to divs, which would be on each individual
page? Then am I giving up having the divs controlled by an external
style sheet? I don't mind making all new html pages to be
controlled by the divs on a css, but then I'm back to the first
question - how do you place content on an html page, when the divs
are supposed to be controlled by the external ss. This seems to be
a never-ending loop in my mind!
Many thanks in advance for trying to straighten this out!

Beginner: some questions

Hello all,
I am just a beginner for EJB, and writing a simple example of EJB. Some questions confuse me.
1.     about server
I just use JDK1.3.1 and JSDKEE1.3, is it all right? Do I need another things, for instance, weblogic ( what is this?)?
2.     about deployment
I wrote some code( CMP) include: home interface, remote interface, implement class, and primary key. Now , deploy it? Use ��C:\j2sdkee1.3\bin\deploytool�� command, is it?
I thought every EJB need a XML deployment descriptor, my question is: I write this by myself or use deploytool?
3.     about datebase
I notice some example use Cloudscape, is this database? Whether can I use another database, for instance, MS Access? If I can, how to access it in CMP, and what is the ��Database JNDI Name��( if I use MS Access) when I deploy using deploytool?
4.     about direction
if I finish coding, then compile, and deploy, now, is it OK? I mean, I should move some file to special direction? (I remember the .class file is placed in special direction when I use servlets. )(suppose: I work in C:\mybean. Every file in it)
5.     I use JDK1.3.1 and JSDKEE1.3 to write a simple example, do I need anything else in order to achieve EJB?
Thanks

1. No you do not need anything other than J2SE 1.3.1 and J2EE SDK 1.3 J2EE SDK 1.3 includes a reference implementation that you can use to do pretty much everything that is J2EE platform standard.
Products such as WebLogic, WebSphere are comercial implementations of J2EE platform specifications. And you would use them for commercial/production quality applications.
See http://java.sun.com/j2ee/faq.html Especially the questions about using reference implementation.
2. You as a developer write the deployment descriptor and the deployment engineer customizes it if required at deployment time.
3. You can use JDBC-ODB driver to work with Microsoft Access databse.
See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/bridge.doc.html#996747
4. No. The files go to the right place at deploy time.
5. No. If you have J2SE 1.3.1 and J2EE SDK 1.3, you arealready on your way to achieving EJBs.

Beginner's question about scripting and deployment automation

I am new to the SAP and BusinessObjects world. I do production support for BusinessObjects XI R3.1. One of my functions is to deploy Universe.unv and WEBI Report files from development into QA and production. This is currently a manual process involving downloading files and lots of key strokes and mouse clicks using the BusinessObjects Client Tools. My question ->: is there a way to automate this process? Can I do this with the SAP scripting wizard? I am familiar with many different scripting and programming languages, I just need to be pointed in the right direction.
Thanks for your help!

Beginner's question: Using Time Machine with a WD External Drive

Hello folks,
Could someone help me with some basic questions?
I have a MacBook with Mac OSX 10.5.5. It has Time Machine but I've never used it before. I've just obtained a Western Digital External Hard Drive which is Mac compatible but, I'm told, may not be formatted for Mac.
1. If that's the case, how do I format it for Mac so that I can use it with my MacBook? Or can I just plug-and-play?
2. Once ready to use, I'd like to use the external drive for two purposes: (a) to create back-up images of my entire computer using Time Machine, and (b) as a second drive where I can just drag-and-drop selected files when needed (e.g. so that I can put photos in a photo folder on my external instead of on my MacBook hard drive). Will my MacBook let me do this, or will using Time Machine effectively reserve the entire external hard drive for Time Machine and not allow my to drag-and-drop files?
Thanks! And Happy New Year!

Question 1:
1. Launch Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utility folder.
2. Click the "erase" tab
3. Select your entire WD disk on the sidebar (the uppermost icon).
4. Format: "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"
5. Name the Disk
6. Click on "erase"
Question 2:
What is the size of your drive? If it is large enough you can partition it but Time Machine backup will "grow". So if it's important to you to save all backups you'll want to give it the whole disk. If not, you can partition the disk at the same time you format it.
Follow the steps here. It will accomplish both Q1 & Q2.

Beginner's question about naming helper classes

Hello,
I am building a pretty basic multi-tier application. I want to reduce a much as possible the dependencies between the web tier and the ejb tier. Ideally I would like for the web tier to construct a request object (of class MyRequest) and send it to the ejb tier that would then return a results object (of class MyResults).
These would therefore be the only two classes that BOTH the ejb and web tier would be aware of. All other classes would either belong to the web tier OR the ejb tier.
My question relates to the naming of these two classes. I would like to have different package names for the two classes as follows:
-web-tier request object will be of type com.mycompany.web.MyRequest
-ejb-tier request object will be of type com.mycompany.ejb.MyRequest
-web-tier results object will be of type com.mycompany.web.MyResults
-ejb-tier results object will be of type com.mycompany.ejb.MyResults
I am getting errors with that. Is there a way around it?
Thanks in advance,
Julien Martin.

Hello PinkyDead and thanks for your answer,
I got the errors on another project and can't remember which. Class Cast Exceptions perhaps. I had to change the package names so that they matched in the web tier and the ejb tier. (which is what I don't like).
As far as the new project is concerned I am trying to design the application as well as possible and your comments are therefore useful. Better getting the design right before starting coding.
Can you or anyone tell me what architecture would be better that the one I proposed?? Don't you agree that at least some classes have to be shared by the web tier and the ejb tier? How can it be otherwise?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.

Beginner's question: how to call JSP

Hi,
Is the following a right way to call a JSP?
GET /app/im/iClient.jsp?user=[email protected]&pass=welcome HTTP/1.1
Host: st5.abc.com
I am trying to manually send a HTTP request. I am sure the directory is right, but no response. Should I use "POST" instead of "GET"?
Thank you!

I dont believe that... If you're trying to get a response InputStream, or the response formatted as some object, for a request to an HTTP server, and you are just now writing Socket connection stuff, then you can just replace that with URLConnection and let it do the work given a URL.
Otherwise, you should already have a class which uses Sockets internally to get what you want, and you shouldn't be asking us this question because it should take a URL and make the connection and give you what you want...
I don't see any other possible "stage" at which you could be at that you need to a) use Sockets over URLConnections, b) need to know the details of HTTP, and c) can't change one or the other.

Beginner's question

i started to work with labview newly, the task im tryin to do is the following : i have a microcontroller and i wanna know if it is alive or not .. simply am tryin to open a port (com) and to ping the microcontroller using the functions (.dll provided).
as it could be seen from the attached file i have tow functions, the first opens a port (to the microcontroller) and returns a handle to the second function which pings the module (microcontroller). i tried to see if the functions return something but it looks like they don't.
am really stuck, i tried to read some manules but i didnt get what i want out of them!!
in all cases thx in advance .

As Dennis mentioned without additional details no one will be able to accurately answer your questions. However, based on what you have provided I am not sure you will need the .dll at all. Basic serial communication is very easy in LabVIEW. There are several examples that ship with LabVIEW that you can look at. You would use VISA to open a serial connection and to read or write data on that connection. The second function call you specified may be a bit more challenging to implement in LabVIEW without a full understanding of exactly what the function is doing. A basic ping sounds fairly straightforward though and would probably be easy to reverse engineer what that function is doing. A serial port monitor would show you what was being sent and received. From there you should be able to implement it directly in LabVIEW.
