Call and display Xcelsius SWF file from an SAP Transaction

Hello Experts ,
Could you please suggest if it is possible to Call and display Xcelsius SWF file
from an SAP Transaction and if Yes how can this be achieved.
Regards ,
Jerin.

Jerin,
It is possible to embed a Xcelsius model into an SAP WebTemplate (Anil promised to write a blog about this very soon). After that you can include the WebTemplate in the GUI menu, Role menu or Portal.

How to fetch and display arbitrary log files from a managed host?

We are creating a small management portal for a custom application and need a way to display, in a browser, the contents of an arbitrary log file located on an EM managed host. The effect we are looking for is similar to what you get when you show the contents of a database alert log using EM.
I want to extend the EM agent to get the log and display the contents, but see two problems: (1) it seems like we would have to schedule the fetch of the log contents to happen on a regular basis and would not be able to do it on demand and (2) storing the results in the EM repository seems like it could consume a pile of storage, even if it only stores the logs for 24 hours.
I am pretty sure we can bypass the repository somehow because I think the "show database alert log" EM process does so. Of course, I can't really be sure how this code is getting the alert log, but it seems reasonable to assume it is using the management agent.
Is there some API for the EM Agent that I am missing?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

From within OEM it doesnt look possible. User defined metrics (UDM) can only return number or a string. The alertlog fetch is done via alertlogViewer.pl while being passed a couple of parameters.
OEM does have a preliminary/rough api available at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oem/emx/index.html but I havent seen anyone make use of it yet.
If you use just a web connection then you will probably run into security issues as a web server can usually only view/access stuff under their htmldoc dir.
Seems like some non-OEM very custom code is what you seek..

Getting Error message while open a SWF file from desktop and any other location

dear all.,
I am using Flash CS4, when I publish SWF movie and open it directly from directories I get an error message. (The image of error message attached,
Plz, help me to short out this problem. ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

hi.
When I double click on the any SWF file (from any location of my system), this error message pop up, which say that “ Windows cannot find “<< file path>>” ……………… but file is playing.
I don’t know why this error message is coming.
plz, help me to solve this problem .
Thanks.

Protecting EXE, PDF and SWF files from piracy

I am hoping others in the community have some experience with protecting their Captivate output (EXE and SWF files) from piracy. We will be selling our eLearning products developed with Captivate through our online store and want to protect them against file sharing and other forms of piracy. I have found several companies online offering DRM (digital rights management) and SAS (software activation services) that require users to enter a license key to use the products. I am looking for any recommendations from users who have implemented these types of services. What provider did you use and what issues did you encounter. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason

Most of the tools I have seen are geared towards extracting
resources from swf's. I use one myself (eltima.com) for
"harvesting" manufacturers content for my motorcycle dealers. They
are authorized to use this content, but finding someone at Yamaha
of Kawasaki or any of the majors who even knows where to find these
resources is next to impossible. I have also used it to learn from
by viewing scripts, but as you say, at the end of the day, I think
the concepts and best practices are about the only thing worth
taking away from others efforts, not the code.
Unlocking a protected file can be done as well and I remember
using a product over a year ago to get at the scripts within an swf
(I wanted the URL's that pointed to media - it was legal for me to
do this). It ran from the command line and output the scripts.
There aren't too many of these types of programs to be found, but
they exist.
My personal opinion is that it's not worth the effort. My
java classes can be decompiled and if someone wants to go to that
trouble, more power to them. To my knowledge, there isn't anything
out there yet that is perfect for backwards engineering an swf into
an MXML file, but a competitor of FLASH Decompiler says that they
can decompile Adobe 9 PLAYER swf's. For what it's worth, I plan on
posting the majority of my code on my flexdev.org site once I get
it established.
For people who make components for sale, this could be an
issue of stolen revenue if the decompilers get sophisticated enough
to reverse engineer the swc into a usable MXML file. I would be
against anyone who stole code for this purpose, for sure.

Is it possible to load SWF files from an SQL database?

Hi all, I am very new to flash (I am primarily a C'# developer!) and I have been asked to investigate the possibility of doing the following;
Create an application that allows swf files to be uploaded and stored inside of a SQL database as binary data (Why a database is a long story!)
Allow this binary data to be extracted via a http request to be dynamically loaded inside of a web page.
Now the first part was easy. I have all of my swf's uploaded and stored inside of the database. I have code that can make a request for the binary and write it to the response, so far so good. Now this is where I am stuck.
I thought I could dynamically load the swf binary data by creating a very basic swf that simply contains a movie clip holder and for now a simple loadMovie statement. My idea being that I can could provide a url for the loadMovie statement that returns the swf binary data. This is where I have ground to a halt.
I can see the call being made from the swf, I can see the data being returned but I cannot get it to render. I remember seeing an article some time agao where someone stated that they had used this method with success but I cannot find now. Has anyone ever done anything like? Is it even possible? Am I missing something simple?
I have tried to return both the raw binary data and also used response.write but to no avail. Can anyone help?

You are possibly trying to load AS3 swf into an AS2 Container at least the use of loadMovie() points in that direction. Be sure to use AS3 and target at least Flash 9 in your Loader/Main.swf. Also the AS3 concept of how to load swfs differs a lot from the old concept.
Look into the docu:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/Loader.ht ml
But the biggest Problem seems to me -what you mentioned- that Loader needs a (defined) URLRepuest and since your swf files have no "real" URL and you surely don`t want to let the user directly write to your server, a workaround would be to write the BinaryStream with AIR-functionality to a local installlation directory and load it then from there.

Loading local swf files from Application Dir (ios)

Hi Guys,
I would like to load additional local swf files to my ios release build but I am confused a little bit because of the new API changes.
As far as I know at the moment (from Air 3.7 or newer) it is allowed to load local swf files that contains compiled actionscript both from local folder and from a predefined remote host as well.
My assumption based on this article:
http://blogs.adobe.com/airodynamics/2013/03/08/external-hosting-of-secondary-swfs-for-air- apps-on-ios/
I created the text file to include all of my local swf file names and created the following node in the application.xml:
<iPhone>
<externalSwfs>assets/SampleSWFInfoFile.txt</externalSwfs>
</iPhone>
When I compile the release build (ipa) using command line adt, it converts all of my local swfs into the stripped swfs which is perfect, but even though I include all the swfs in the compiler command, it puts only the SampleSWFInfoFile.txt file into the assets folder in the ipa but not the swf files.
I assume, it thinks I will load these files from an external host, but I would like to include them in the app itself.
I tried to copy the stripped swf files from the externalStrippedSwfs folder and comment the <externalSwfs>assets/SampleSWFInfoFile.txt</externalSwfs> node in the application.xml and compile it and this way it puts the swf files into the ipa, but when I try to install and launch the app it crashes and when I test it using Flash Builder it shows an error message
"VerifyError: Error #1042: Not an ABC file."
Do any of you guys know the solution for this problem?
Thank you for your help in advance!

You're publishing in AOT mode as long as you use one of these:
The AIR Developer Tool or ADT has targets that lets you package apps either for the AOT mode or Interpreter mode. The targets for packaging in AOT mode are ipa-app-store, ipa-ad-hoc, ipa-test and ipa-debug.
Flash Pro CS6 and Flash Builder automate this process pretty well so it's invisible but the SWF loads and executes code just fine for me when directly published.
If I take it to command line I can use this to compile successfully (iPad test app):
adt -package -target ipa-ad-hoc -storetype pkcs12 -keystore my.p12 -provisioning-profile my.mobileprovision NameOfApp.ipa NameOfApp-app.xml NameOfApp.swf iTunesArtwork iTunesArtwork@2x AppIconsForPublish swfs/swfs.txt swfs/GenerateText.swf
I at least include generic icons in there but I made a 'swfs' folder and placed 'swfs.txt' and 'GenerateText.swf' in there. The SWF uses code to randomly generate text and changes every second using a Timer. I load it in using the same code you do with the ApplicationDomain.currentDomain context. I see the SWF appear and text start randomly changing.
As I compile there's a folder generated called 'externalStrippedSwfs' with the stripped SWF in there.
One thing to note is I do not supply <externalSwfs>swfs/swfs.txt</externalSwfs> in my iPhone settings. If I do that it doesn't work. I supply the path to the text file containing the SWF I want to be stripped to adt itself along with the SWFs I want stripped and it takes care of the rest.

How Can I protect my swf files from decompiling / saving

I have navigated through the internet for a long time now but
could not find the solution to my problem which is "how to protect
my swf file from decompiling/saving"?
I know that it CAN BE DONE and here is an example of a file
on the internet that cannot be saved or decompiled using any
software that I have come across (ie:SOTHINK decompiler, saveflash)
http://www.3dinternet.com/video.swf
Any help? any hints ?
Thanks

Hagop,

There is no way to protect your SWF from decompiling. Any
commercial
software on the market can be decompiled -- including the
Flash authoring
tool and Photoshop, for example -- which is why softare
generally ships with
an end user license agreement (EULA) that expects you to
agree not to
decompile or reverse engineer your purchase.
Most Flash content (other than RTMP requests for video, for
example) are
HTTP requests, which by nature means the content is
downloaded to your hard
drive, just like HTML documents, CSS files, JPGs, and GIFs.
Your browser
requests the files, downloads them to your hard drive, then
displays them
from your local copy.
> I know that it CAN BE DONE and here is an example of a

> any software that I have come across
What you've seen, then, is merely the result of software
that uses
unknown (to you or to your sofware) encryption/obfuscation
algorithms. Keep
trying, and you'll eventually nail it.
At best, you can use obfuscators to temporarily deter a
certain segment
of the decompiling-inclined population.

Tools to create a Flash 7 SWF file from Powerpoint for deployment to 4305G?

Hi there,
We are using
4305G DMPs running firmware 5.2.1
DMM 5.2.2
We have an internal customer who wishes to find a tool to create Flash 7 (or Cisco DMS compatible Flash SWF) files from Powerpoint to deploy to the DMPs. The customer is currently using a tool called iSpring to create Flash SWF files out of Powerpoint files, but this will not display through the DMPs running 5.2.1 firmware.
http://www.ispringsolutions.com/ispring_presenter_pro_now_ispring_pro.html
What other options are available?
The underlying business need is to reduce the time it takes to create presentations for deployment to the Digital Media Players.
Any advice much appreciated,
Regards,
Kathy

Not sure if this helps but I use Camtasia's powerpoint plugin to convert presentations that have animation into video files in either swf/flv or wmv format. For standalone powerpoint presentations that do not include animations I simply use a program called PPTools which allows me to export high quality images from my presentations without losing any quality.

The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
* The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
I suggest a couple of things.
- Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
- A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
Edit 1:
..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.

How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
[OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
[JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
     cd [JacobStage]
     copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
     copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
     set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
     CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
     DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
     TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
     GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
     CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
     @[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
     -- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
     CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
     grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Start the OC4J instance
7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
8) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
         NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
         show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
      http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
10) Run your form.sarah

Display a .swf file in the Gallery example

Is it possible to display a .swf file instead of a .jpeg in
the Gallery example? Any help would be appreciated.

You "CAN" do it, but it would probably be kind of clunky. A
detailed region rewrites the code and in theory you should be able
to write in a new SWF. I don't mean, write in a new "location" but
re-write out the entire tag.
Hope this helps.

Quiz results not displaying in swf file

I am creating an interactive cd which basically runs a blank
projector which then loads in various swf files from fscommand
folder as and when required.
Part of the CD is a quiz - created using one of the standard
flash templates. When this is loaded into the main projector as a
swf file it runs perfectly until it gets to the "results page" - at
this point it returns the blank templates e.g Answered = 0.
If you export the quiz as a projector file it runs fine and
gives the results as expected too.
Is there a way to make it run properly as a swf?

Hey Arunbe,
To be honest I'm pretty new to the Action Script side of
things - I'm not actually very sure where and how I check that the
variables are declared properly?!
I would really appreciate any pointers you could give me in
this area!!
I have attached some code from the quiz - it might not be the
right thing though!
Thanks for any help you can offer!!!

Protecting swf files from being decompiled

At the end of the day, our flex apps are deployed as swf
files which have the potential to be decomplied and thereby our
intellectual properties lost. There are tools in the market which
claim to secure the swf files from being decompiled. Are these
tools live up to their claims? Is it worthwhile to spend money on
these tools? Would the protected swf become harder to deployed? Any
good products already available in this line? Please point out
some. Thx.

Most of the tools I have seen are geared towards extracting
resources from swf's. I use one myself (eltima.com) for
"harvesting" manufacturers content for my motorcycle dealers. They
are authorized to use this content, but finding someone at Yamaha

Loading swf files from an iPhone Air App

Although the faq says its possible ( http://bit.ly/gyxmCo ) I can't seem to load .swf files from my app.
There's no .AS code in the .swf file I'm trying to load.
PNG files load with no problems, swf's fail.
A working example would be appreciated instead of suggestions, I've spent the entire day trying out suggestions
regards,
Martijn

Because I can't see any library assets in an as2.0 file.
I've discovered that the swf fails to load as soon as you make a symbol 'export for actionscript'
probably because it will then create a class. So you can only load SWF's as simple pictures or animations, you cant use it as an asset library with multiple animations/images/sounds in it..
As for you other questions:
it doesnt matter if the file is local or on the web. same results
I created the swf file from a fla in CS4, and I'm compiling my air project that loads the swf with FlashDevelop.
