How can i get browse sequence widgets to follow hyperlinks instead of TOC?
I've created a screen layout based on the standard desktop layout and am using the default browse sequence (back, next) widget buttons included with the layout. Our topics include a number of hyperlinks to other help topics - for example, a dialog box overview topic might include a link to a how to topic for that dialog. I would like the browse sequence buttons to follow the hyperlink paths to the previous and next topics viewed. Right now, they instead go to the previous and next topics in the TOC. Is there a way to modify the properties of the buttons to follow the hyperlinks instead?
Thanks for your help!I think you are confusing Previous and Next in a browse sequence with Previous and Next as in path followed by the user.
A browse sequence is not necessarily the next item in a TOC. It is whatever you set up, TOC order is a default.
You can have path followed Previous and Next in addition using javascript methods. You will find solutions posted in these forums.

How to customize sequence setting
Hi,
It is probably a very basic question but cannot find how to customize the sequence settings.
When I created new project, I chose NTCS setting.
The movie source I used is 1280x960. When I drag it in the sequence window, it doesn't fit in the format. (It looks like it crops the movie)
I clicked on Sequence Setting menu to edit, but size is in grey and therefore cannot change the size.
Does anyone can explain me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advanceStart over by making a new sequence, hit General, then change the Editing Mode to Desktop (dropdownmenu)
Now you can set everything manually.
Copy content old sequence into this new sequence if you do not want to edit all over. -
How to browse a file and extract its contents
i want to browse a file and extract its contents.My code is given below but its not working .Can anybody help me please
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(jfrm);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
//This is where a real application would open the file.
fileName=file.getName();
//This is a file function to extract data from a file.
//It reads data from a file that can be viewed on cmd
jlab3.setText(fileName);
try
// Open the file that is the first
// command line parameter
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(fileName);
// Convert our input stream to a
// DataInputStream
DataInputStream in =new DataInputStream(fstream);
// Continue to read lines while
// there are still some left to read
// while (in.available() !=0)
// Print file line to screen
fileName1=in.readLine();
jlab3.setText(fileName1);
in.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println("File input error");
}JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();

// while (in.available() !=0)
// Print file line to screenHere you are reading the first line of the file
fileName1=in.readLine();
//}and here you are displaying the line in a (I suppose) JLabel. A JLabel is not very suitable for displaying a file content, except is the file contain few characters !!!
jlab3.setText(fileName1);
in.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println("File input error");
}If you want to read the complete file content you must uncomment lines inside while instruction, like this
while (in.available() > 0) { // I prefer to test in.available like this, instead of !=
// append text to a StringBuffer (variable named sb here) or directly in a textarea.
sb.append(in.readLine());

How do I remove a duplicate browse sequence from HTML help created with RoboHelp 8?
One of my projects in a merged projects is showing two browse sequences in the merged system. I've tried deleting the project from the merged system, recompiling, checking that the browse sequence doesn't appear in the merged system, then adding back the project. The duplicate browse sequence appears again. I've also checked the individual project and there is no duplicate browse sequence when I view iit. Any ideas?
Screen shot below. Note that the browse sequence for NAACCR Data Standards and Data Dictionary is duplicated in the drop down. A colleague helped me fix this by opening the .hhp file in Notepad and deleting a second entry under [MERGE FILES] for that component of the merged project. This problem apparently happens when a merged project is copied and modified. The .hhp file can end up with two entries for a component, one with a full path and one without. I deleted the duplicate with the full path, recompiled, and the duplicate browse sequence disappeared.
Thanks for trying to help. -
Missing Browse Sequences in HTML Help
Problem
Browse sequences in our Microsoft HTML help (.CHMs) are missing after we upgraded from RoboHelp x5 (running WinXP Pro) to RoboHelp 9 (running Win7, 64-bit).
Background
We've been using RoboHelp x5 and RoboSource Control 2.3 version control for several years. Prior to 2012, our RoboSource Control server machine was a WinXP Pro VM session, while our 3 RoboHelp/RoboSource Control client (author) machines were physical WinXP Pro machines.
After the first of this year, our 3 client machines were replaced with Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit physical machines. In order to continue running RoboHelp x5, we created a Windows XP Pro virtual machine on each client machine; Robohelp x5 and the RoboSource Control 2.3 client software were then installed and run from the WinXP VM environment. Browse sequences were included in the many (at least 4 per month) CHMs that we compiled/generated during the several months that we ran in this environment without any issues.
We just (over the past few weeks) upgraded to Adobe's Technical Communication Suite 3.5 (RoboHelp HTML 9 and RoboSource Control 3.1). A new Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit VM was created for the RoboSource Control server installation, and we simply installed the RoboHelp 9 and RoboSource Control 3.1 client software directly on our 3 Windows 7 client machines. We did not remove the VM sessions from the client machines, but we don't run them either.
Since we upgraded RoboHelp to version 9 (which is also to say, started running RoboHelp in a true Windows 7 64-bit environment), none of our browse sequences appear when we compile/generate a .CHM in RoboHelp 9 and then launch the .CHM from anywhere OTHER THAN within the RoboHelp HTML application. If we launch the Help from within RoboHelp, using either the Generate Primary Layout function (and then view result) or the View Primary Layout function (HTML Help is our primary layout), the browse sequences appear and function properly.
I've already researched (including this forum and all the previous posts on this issue) and run tests, attempting to identify the cause and/or resolve the issue. The actual tests and results are listed after the next section (which provides technical details on what I believed to be the critical aspects of this issue within our environment; perhaps someone will spot something regarding the version of the HHActiveX.dll or a path/value for one of the registry settings).

Troubleshooting Tests and Results
Test 1: Ran command line: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences PRESENT.
Test 2: Ran command line: C:\Windows\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 3: Ran command line: C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-htmlhelp_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_24 4ae8599e6d81bb\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 4: Ran command line: C:\Windows\winsxs\wow64_microsoft-windows-htmlhelp_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_2e 9f92abd2ce43b6\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences PRESENT.
Test 5: Deleted HHP, CPD, and created new HTML Help SSL definition. Opened project, compiled with new SSL, opened CHM from Windows Explorer via double-click.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 6: RoboHelp install again. Didn't see any "repair" options, so I ran the install over the existing one. Then deleted HHP, CPD, and created new HTML SSL definition. Compiled. Opened the CHM from Windows Explorer via double-click.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 7: Edited the browse sequences to see if that would trigger or set a flag. Note: I already compared the "flags" (it's actually a number sequence) in the RHwnd.apj file (via Notepad) to the "flags" in the RHwnd.apj file. While I don't know which one represents browse sequence enabling, the number sequences were identical. Note: I compared RHwnd.apj files pre- and post-Browse Sequence enabling (with no other changes), but the flag values were completely different (it's not a simple 0/1 flag).
Result: N/A
Test 8: I copied older CHMs that were generated/compiled in RoboHelp x5 over to my local, Window 7 Enterprise, 64-bit, SP1, machine. Launched the CHMs from Windows Explorer by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 9: I browsed over our network (via Windows Explorer) to our old RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server, and launched older CHMs that were generated/compiled in RoboHelp x5 and still sitting on that machine, by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 10: I logged on (via RDS) to our old RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server (WinXP), and launched older CHMs that were created (and never upgraded) in RHx5 by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences PRESENT.
Test 11: I logged on (via RDS) to our old RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server (WinXP), opened Windows Explorer on that machine, browsed over the network to our new RoboHelp 9/RoboSource Control 3.1 server (Win7), and then launched new CHMs that were generated/compiled in RoboHelp 9 by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 12: I logged on (via RDS) to our older RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server (WinXP), copied CHMs that were generated/compiled on our new RoboHelp 9/RoboSource Control 3.1 server (Win7) in RoboHelp 9 over to the WinXP machine, and then launched them by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
CONCLUSIONS
The machine you are logged on to matters more than where the CHM resides (that is, locally or on another networked machine), or even the version of RoboHelp that it was compiled/generated in (although as my next conclusion states, this last one does appear to matter).
Supporting evidence: CHMs that were compiled/generated in RoboHelp x5 only display browse sequences when they are launched (via double-click) locally from a WinXP machine. Browse sequences are absent when they're launched from a Win7 machine.
The version of RoboHelp that the CHM was compiled in matters.
Supporting evidence: Browse sequences in RoboHelp 9 generated/compiled CHMs do not appear, even when the CHMs reside on a WinXP machine. Is HHActiveX.dll somehow incorporated into the generate/compile process?
Either HH.exe or HHActiveX.dll, or both, matter.
Supporting evidence: Browse sequences appear in RoboHelp 9 generated/compiled CHMs on a Win7 machine when I launch the CHM from a command line, specifying which HH.exe to use.
Is this a function of the HH.exe (there are multiple instances of HH.exe on my Win7 machine, but the command line solution doesn't work for all of them; plus, each files seems to be identical/the same version), or
is it a function of HHActiveX.dll (does HHActiveX.dll registration control which HH.exe works, which would explain why some of HH.exe's don't work from a command line; the assumption here, then, is that when I double-click a CHM, the default HH.exe that is used isn't the one that's registered)?Hello again
Hopefully Colum won't mind my offering a few answers here and there,

Thanks for the response, Rick. I appreciate the feedback.
A few follow-up questions...
Can you confirm that neither the version of HH.exe, nor its file path matter?
Unsure what you mean by the version of HH.exe mattering. If you double-click a CHM file on a 64 bit Windows system, it appears that it automatically opens the 64 bit version of HH.exe. Short of having an installation routine of some sort that reconfigures the operating system to open the 32 bit version instead, I can't fathom a way that you would be able to influnce the behavior. Obviously, application developers are able to force this choice. I say that because after you compile and choose to View Result, RoboHelp opens the 32 bit version of the CHM viewer. Now whether this is behavior that is designed by the application developer or whether it's standard Windows behavior with RoboHelp being a 32 bit application is beyond me. Only Adobe can really say for sure what is going on.
How do I identify/verify that an instance of HHActiveX.dll is the 32-bit version?
How do I identify/verify that an instance of HHActiveX.dll is the 64-bit version?
I'm not sure there is a way. At least I'm not knowing a way. I think the best you can do is supply both versions and tell your installation team to register both. Then it shouldn't matter, no?
Where can I obtain the 64-bit version of HHActiveX.dll?Based on my research, it appears that C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\Redist on our 64-bit machines would be one such location. Can you verify this?
I think Colum answered that.
Where should the 64-bit version of HHActiveX.dll that I subsequently register, reside (i.e., file path)?
Wherever you (or more precisely your installation team) decide to place it.
Likely you will think that answer is a bit snarky. But it's not intended to be that way. I'm just being honest. That's why you have to register it with Windows. The process of registering the DLL tells Windows where it is and how to work with it.
Should I replace all 32-bit instances of HHActiveX.dll on our 64-bit machines?
I've never encountered a need to replace versions. But again, likely only Adobe can answer that one with a straight face.
Assume I successfully register the 64-bit version of HHActiveX.dll. If our primary layout in RoboHelp HTML is HTML Help and I invoke the Generate Primary Layout function (and view result) or View Primary Layout function in RoboHelp HTML (i.e., I launch a .CHM from within RoboHelp HTML), will RoboHelp HTML re-register the 32-bit version of HHActiveX.dll? And if this is the case, does that mean I'll have to go back and re-register the 64-bit version each time I use either of those functions?
Launching the file does nothing to register the dll. That's why there is a separate process. The act of registering should be a one off. I believe what happens is that the Windows Registry is modified with information that HH.exe (64 bit or 32 bit) uses to determine what to do with the dll(s). Again, I'm not an application developer nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so I can't claim to be one.
I believe that once you get both dlls properly registered, it won't matter if you launch the 64 bit or the 32 bit version of HH.exe. The Browse Sequence window should then show. (Incidentally, the same dll also manages behavior of the Glossary tab functionality in a CHM)
What happens in a mixed (32-bit/64-bit) environment?
Our in-house network contains a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit machines.
We post a .CHM (with browse sequences) to a standalone PC (no RoboHelp applications are installed on this particular PC) on our in-house network.
All the 32-bit and 64-bit machines on the network can access this single .CHM file via a shortcut.
Does the existence and registration of HHActiveX.dll matter for just the PC hosting the .CHM, just the PCs accessing the .CHM, or all PCs? And which versions of HHActiveX.dll need to be registered for which machines?
Yeah, good luck with that. Years ago, Microsoft modified the behavior of CHM content to disallow working that way. CHMs are intended to be copied to *EACH PC* using it. There are ways to modify the Windows Registry to allow CHM to still work that way, but it's something your IT staff have to manage. And by modifying things to allow it, you have to relax security and that makes a machine more vulnerable to attacks down the road. Years later, Peter Grainge still reports that his page on this is still among the most often visited. Click here to visit Peter's page.
Hope I managed to satisfactorily answer your "few" other questions. I tried... LOL

Browse Sequence Stopped Working
I generated WebHelp output files on 11/19/14 (less than 2 weeks ago) in which the browse sequence works as expected. When I generated output today, I noticed that the browse sequence buttons were not displaying. I'm using RH 10 with IE 11. I am the only person who accesses the RoboHelp project files for this project.
I checked the WebHelp project settings and noticed the "Enable Browse Sequence" box was not checked. I checked it. I regenerated the project. The browse buttons now appear but remain disabled. I used the Browse Sequence Editor to regenerate the browse sequence from the TOC. It did not work as expected. Instead of following the TOC sequence, it put all the first-level books at the beginning of the browse sequence, then all the second-level books, and so on. Just the same, I saved and regenerated the project. The browse buttons still appeared, but still remained disabled. I used the Browse Sequence Editor again to regenerated the browse sequence based on the TOC using the option to create separate browse sequences for each book down to level 5 (just an arbitrary number). RH created a bunch of separate browse sequences. I clicked OK again and regenerated the project. I still see disabled browse buttons, and I tried clicking multiple topics in different books to see if any of the separate browse sequences worked. The browse buttons remained disabled.
I reviewed previous RH posts on this subject. I saw Julietta Curtis' post on browse sequences not working in IE 10 but working in Chrome and Firefox. I opened in Chrome and Firefox the last two versions of the WebHelp I generated; same results as IE 11--disabled browse buttons. I opened the WebHelp from 11/19/14 in Chrome and Firefox; the browse sequence works fine.
Note: I also tried regenerating the project using the project's .BRS file from prior processes--including .BRS files going back to 10/29/14.
Any thoughts on how to get the browse sequence working again? Thanks!Amebr, I would still be interested in knowing what you mean by "For the buttons, perhaps make sure your browse sequence hasn't become unticked in your SSL?"
I have tried everything I can think of. I took a copy of the .hhc (TOC) file, reformatted it as a .BRS file using the structure of a valid .BRS file from another project, named the browse sequence (although that doesn't seem to matter), opened the Browse Sequence Editor and verified that I can view the browse sequence and view links from the Browse Sequence Editor, and re-verified the "Enable Browse Sequence" box is checked on the WebHelp Settings window.
RoboHelp appears to recognize the named BRS file as a valid BRS file, and it exactly matches the structure of the TOC because it was created from the TOC file. The generated project still just shows disabled browse sequence buttons (which are an indication that the browse sequence box is checked because the buttons do not show up at all if it is unchecked). Open to any suggestions on how to get this to work.
Don't think this is related, but ran a batch generate process on a different project and received a message that MS Word is not installed. RH appears not to have been updated when my MS Word was updated from 2007 to 2013. Was still able to generate the other project, and its browse sequence works. What do I need to do to get RH 10 to recognize MS Word 2013? Again, thanks! -
Exporting the Browse Sequence XML file for Use in Another Project
When I generate a browse sequence based on the TOC using zero for the book level, instead of getting A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, I get A, B, A1, A2, B1, B2. The TOC runs through all 1st level items first, cycles back through all 2nd level item, then 3rd level, etc.
My workaround was to auto-create the browse sequence at a 0 level and then manually manipulate it to output according to how my readers would actually read my online book (ie A Aa A1 A1a A1b A2 A2a A2b B B1 etc etc).
Now that I have my browse sequence in the correct order for this project, I do not want to repeat these steps every time I create a new version of my OLH for the same guide after some minor updates have been made to the FM source.
There is a file named whbrs.xml inside the output folder and it contains the browse sequence order I specified during my workaround steps.
Is it possible to export this file to another location for use in another project referencing the same guide?
This methodology is much preferred as I am working at an enterprise level with multiple documents (some numbering in the hundreds of pages) and do not want to have to manually use my workaround for each project I update over the next few years.Hi Kristopher
You probably wouldn't want to use that particular file as it's an output file. You would likely have better luck using the ProjectName.BRS file as that one should be a source file.
However, keep in mind that whether (or how well) this will work will entirely depend on having the recipient project using the same identical structure and identical file names.

Browse sequence in Windows Vista 64-bit?
This is a duplicate post. I posted it nestled down in another browse sequence thread and didn't get any nibbles, so I am creating a new thread. I hope no one minds.
Hi all, I'm wondering if I can get a little help from the gurus here. I've been through the forums and internet trying to find the answer to browse sequences and glossary tabs in Windows Vista 64-bit. I am running Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium Service Pack 2.
I need to mention that my .chm files work fine on Windows XP (multiple machines tested). My project consists of a master .chm (thanks Peter Grainge for the step-by-step, which I followed to the letter) with 15 slave projects.
I've copied the hhactivex.dll from the Program Files\Adobe\RoboHelp\RoboHTML (426 KB) on my Windows XP machine and saved it in the following folders on my Windows Vista 64-bit machine:
c:\windows\system32
c:\windows\sysWOW64
I then tried using the cmd.exe command prompt (as administrator) in c:\windows\system32 to do the following:
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhactivex.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhctrl.ocx
Both commands registered successfully. When I opened the .chm, the glossary and browse sequence are still not working properly.
So, I then tried unregistered hhactivex.dll and hhctrl.ocx in the c:\windows\system32 folder using the regsvc32 and the cmd.exe (as administrator) in that same folder.
I then tried using the cmd.exe command prompt (as administrator) in c:\windows\sysWOW64 to do the following:
regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhactivex.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhctrl.ocx
Both commands registered successfully. When I opened the .chm, the glossary and browse sequence are still not working properly.
I've been pulling my hair out on this one. I've seen posts mentioning the "Unblock" Button on the .chm's Properties - General tab - Advanced dialog, but I do not have an Unblock button anywhere in the properties for these .chms. I also do not have the Microsoft KB 89xxxxx security updates on my Vista 64-bit computer that I can find.
I also say a post that put the path/filename in quotes when using regsvr32. I tried registering again using the same scenarios above in system32 (regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\hhactivex.dll") and sysWOW64 (regsvr32 "c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhactivex.dll") but still I cannot get the browse sequences/glossary to work in thses compiled .chms -- whether opening the master or the slave.
After I registered the hhactivex.dll on a Windows XP test machine, if I opened a .chm and then went into Windows Explorer and tried to delete the hhactivex.dll, I'd get a "file in use" error. However, when I open a .chm on my Vista 64-bit machine and try to delete the hhactivex.dll in either system32 or sysWoW64, it deletes without error. I verified this with all of the different registering methods I described in this post (registering, testing, unregistering, moving to next folder, etc.). Being able to delete the .dll on the Vista machine tends to make me believe that the .dll isn't really registering, Either way, it isn't being accessed when a .chm file is opened like on a Windows XP machine.
I've been around the internet trying to find out exactly how to register .dlls in Vista 64-bit, and unless I'm totally missing something I believe I am doing this correctly. If I am doing something wrong, could someone guide me in the right direction with a complete step-by-step method that works in Vista 64-bit?
I have yet to test Vista 32-bit or any version of Windows 7, but I am hoping that once I resolve the problem in Vista 64-bit that the rest will be non-issues. I hope anyway, as I have no means to test those platforms.
Thanks in advance for making it to the end of this long post of mine. I appreciate any help!
eeddingsThe 32bit version of HH.exe is kept in "C:\Windows\SysWOW64". When you double click a CHM file on a 64 bit machine, it launches the 64 bit version of hh.exe kept in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 directory.
To launch a CHM with 32 bit version hh.exe, run the following command in a 64 bit machine C:\Windows\SysWOW64\hh.exe <CHM file Path>
The other good news is that you can get the 64 bit version of HHActiveX.dll in RoboHelp 9.0. It is kept at "<RoboHelp 9.0 install folder>\Redist\x64\HHActiveX.dll"
If RoboHelp 9.0 is installed on your machine, this activeX control is already registered. Otherwise you need to register this DLL.
To register 64bit version of HHActiveX.dll,
1> Run Command prompt(cmd.exe) as administrator
2> Type "regsvr32 <64 bit HHActiveX.dll full path>" and press Enter.
3> This should show that the registration is done successfully.
Now working with 64 bit version of HH.exe should also show Glossary and Browse Sequences. -
Browse sequence buttons not appearing in RoboHelp 9 .chm file
When I first created this project two years ago, I didn't think I'd be using browse sequences. Well, of course, things change, and now I think it would be a good idea.
I followed the instructions for creating a browse sequence automatically (Tools > Browse Sequence Editor, then Auto-create from TOC). That seemed to work.
I compile the .chm file. No >> buttons.
How do I enable them? I looked at the master page layout and didn't see anything there. I looked at the Project Settings (File > Project Settings) and couldn't see anything there.
I've searched the RH 9 help and can't find any reference. My guess is that they must appear automatically and I must have, in my infinite wisdom (HA!) deleted them two years ago when I thought I didn't need them.
Suggestions?Hi, MM Acton
Allow me to chime in with my esteemed colleagues. The first issue I see is that you do not have a Window Defined. You need a window in order to select the Browse Sequence Option for the CHM.
In Project Set Up create a new window, selecting Microsoft HTML Help as the type
On the Microsoft HTML Help Options Dialog, give the Window a name such as "CHMWindow" (No spaces)
Be sure to "tick" the Browse Sequence option and click OK
Double click the Microsoft HTML Help Single Source Layout to bring up the HTML Help Options dialog
From the Default Window drop down, select the CHMWindow you created
Save and Generate
This will show the browse sequence "icon avenue" (the showy icons at the top of the CHM)
As for the Citrix thing. If the machine hosting the CHM being viewed has the HHActiveX.DLL installed, the CHM should display as advertised. Tell your Admin that Adobe licenses unlimited re-distribution of that DLL.
You can find documentation on this redistribution license and how to register it in the online help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11aff59c2a0-7f49.ht ml
Here is the path where you will find the DLL itself:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 10\Redist
BTW, the reason the DLL was created in the first place is that Microsoft never provided a Browse Sequence or a Glossary tab in their "out of the box" offering so RoboHelp conveniently provides this to authors as a "extra".
Hope this helps

RH8 browse sequence based on TOC not working as expected
I have several standalone projects for which RoboHelp's browse sequence tool correctly generates the browse sequence based on the TOC using a book level of 0 (zero) so that it picks up everything in order. If a project has books A and B (which are not themselves topics), and each book has two subtopics, A1, A2, B1, B2, the TOC-based browse sequence is A1, A2, B1, B2. For a project I inherited (originally designed as 40 separate merged projects that I combined into a single .xpj project), "books" A and B for the example above are also topics. When I generate the browse sequence based on the TOC using zero for the book level, instead of getting A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, I get A, B, A1, A2, B1, B2. The TOC runs through all 1st level items first, cycles back through all 2nd level item, then 3rd level, etc. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas how to fix it? Does the problem have anything to do with the fact that the "books" in this project are also "topics"?
Create a new TOC and make it a copy of the existing TOC.
Then remove the topics from the books and try again with the browse sequence.
I don't know that will fix it but it is what I would try first.

Hello everyone,
could someone tell me, please if Firefox is now bound with the "ask"-browser and how can I disconnect them?
Yesterday I uploaded Firefox and now my search results are showed via "Ask". But I hate it and want Firefox back.
I already tried every possibility I knew about, without any success.
Plese, help!
AAre you searching via the about:home Home page?
You can reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
* Open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar
* Type in the Filter bar: mstone
* Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
* Close and restart Firefox
If that didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

[Flex 4.5.1] How does Button's fontSize property gets applied to labelDisplay?
How does Button's fontSize property gets applied to labelDisplay when lableDisplay's fontSize is not explicitly set. I just tested it it works but I don't know how. I looked through the ButtonBase class but I don't see any code applying the fontSize to the labelDisplay nor I see code in the Label to get parent's fontSize property if not set. Could someone explain to me how this works? I would be very grateful! Thanks !
Ok I found it, thanks for the heads up. I pretty much get the idea of how things work now
Could you please take a look at one more probably very simple to you question. I had to customize a button to be able to have 2 lables in it with different fontSize and topPadding in this case. I kinda copied some of the code from ButtonBase + added the styles and some code I needed to make it work.
Here it is:
package
import flash.events.Event;
import spark.components.Button;
import spark.components.Label;
[Style(name="numberFontSize", type="Number", format="Length", inherit="yes", minValue="1.0", maxValue="720.0")]
[Style(name="numberPaddingTop", type="Number", format="Length", inherit="no", minValue="0.0", maxValue="1000.0")]
public class DialPadButton extends Button
public function DialPadButton()
super();
private var _numberContent:*;
[SkinPart(required="false")]
public var numberLabelDisplay:Label;
[Bindable("numberContentChange")]
public function get numberContent():Object
return _numberContent;
public function set numberContent(value:Object):void
_numberContent = value;
if (numberLabelDisplay)
numberLabelDisplay.text = label;
dispatchEvent(new Event("numberContentChange"));
public function set numberLabel(value:String):void
numberContent = value;
public function get numberLabel():String
return (numberContent != null) ? numberContent.toString() : "";
override protected function partAdded(partName:String, instance:Object):void
super.partAdded(partName, instance);
if (instance == numberLabelDisplay)
if (_numberContent !== undefined)
numberLabelDisplay.text = numberLabel;
if(getStyle("numberFontSize"))
numberLabelDisplay.setStyle("fontSize", getStyle("numberFontSize"));
if(getStyle("numberPaddingTop") || getStyle("numberPaddingTop") == 0)
numberLabelDisplay.setStyle("paddingTop", getStyle("numberPaddingTop"));
override public function styleChanged(styleProp:String):void
if (!styleProp ||
styleProp == "styleName" ||
styleProp == "numberFontSize" ||
styleProp == "numberPaddingTop")
if (numberLabelDisplay){
if(getStyle("numberFontSize"))
numberLabelDisplay.setStyle("fontSize", getStyle("numberFontSize"));
if(getStyle("numberPaddingTop"))
numberLabelDisplay.setStyle("paddingTop", getStyle("numberPaddingTop"));
super.styleChanged(styleProp);
So here are the questions:
1) If I am not going to use the styles in css then maybe I should better declare them as variables ?
2) I don't really understand how does the button gets updated and redrawn when I set Styles or properties like that cause there is nowhere a call to invalidate the display list (at least I couldn't find in the Button and ButtonBase classes) as I read in the Flex docs: Overriding the styleChanged() method
UPDATE: I forgot that setStyle calls invalidateDisplayList... and I just figured out that when the lable sets the text on the TextBase it calls the invalidates. I answered this one myself
3) I don't understand why do I have this code (copied from the buttonBase):
if (!styleProp ||
styleProp == "styleName" ||
styleProp == "numberFontSize" ||
styleProp == "numberPaddingTop")
instead of just the code below:
if (styleProp == "numberFontSize" ||
styleProp == "numberPaddingTop")
5) I am also not sure why I had to use content and label (again copied from the ButtonBase) when they are basicly the same thing
Currently with this Custom Component I've made, I am able to put 2 lables in the skin. One is the default. And the other one takes the default values I put on the label itself + uses the two styles numberFontSize and numberTopPadding to change that default values in case they need to be altered.
Although this works, I am not sure if I did it the best way or why does it work as you can say from my 5 questions
I hope you or someone who understands this have the time to answer them for me and anyone who reads this Thanks

How to customize flash-based web galleries?
Has anyone here figured out how to customize the CS4 Bridge flash-based web galleries? Specifically, I'd like to be able to add the "description" line from the metadata to an image, without having to add ALL the metadata (as a couple of the galleries allow).
Seems like such a simple thing. Can't imagine why Adobe didn't add it. It is standard in the older HTML gallery templates.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Barring that, does anyone know of a second-party flash photo gallery that allows for information this information to be displayed?Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
If you do a search on this forum you will find hundreds of other threads on the subject. -
Hi, I'm usine RoboHelp HTML 9, and I'm having trouble displaying the browse sequences in when I complile the WebHelp project. I Auto-created the Browse sequences using my TOC. When I compile and "View Results" I don't see the previous and next topic arrows. The TOC is there along with the Contents, Index, and Search buttons. Just the little left and right arrows are missing. Any troubleshooting suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks.
Hi Christy
Did your project begin life in an earlier version of RoboHelp? If so, that may explain why Browse Sequences seemed to fail for you.
Are you exploiting the Content Categories feature of version 9? If so, that also may explain things.
Indeed RoboHelp 9 brings new wrinkles to the mix with the whole Content Categories feature. New capabilities are added.
Think of the option you see in the Navigation section as being like the master breaker in your house. You can enable or disable things globally there. And when you define different Content Categories, you may want Browse Sequences for one category but not want them for another. Or you may have defined multiple sequences and you wish to assign a different one to each category.
I created a project from scratch and of course it didn't have a Browse Sequence. Therefore the option wasn't even available for me to turn it on. I defined a Browse Sequence and the option was enabled when I looked. I also looked in the Content Category and it was enabled there as well. This seems to suggest you either upgraded an older project and things weren't quite set as you would have expected or that someone has been playing with the settings and experimenting without fully realizing what the settings actually do or how they may interact.
