Captivate can manipulate an external file?

Captivate 4
Output: .exe, but we can convert to .swf, if this was necessary.
Like a .txt, or something else?
We have a course finished and ready to start, except for the organization of the student info (name, lesson viewed, quizz result);
We create a Delphi Menu that load that external info, to liberate the exact lesson to the student;
Now, we need to, at the end of the lesson, that Captivate access an external file, so that we can input some data (that could be used as a variable in CP) to be read by the Delphi app.
Could CP help me with this?
I just realized that, to have the level of interaction that we want to our lessons (viewed locally, manipulating the students informations in a database, and so on), I will have to build a app container in a Flash AIR. I´m starting to study AS3, and AIR (lynda.com courses are a good start?) to create this, but we are in a hurry for this initial course, that is finished, but without seccurity and database control.
Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks in advance

The solution below uses JavaScrip & ASP to post information from Captivate to a Microsot Access database.
You can test the prototype here (http://www.myshbp.com/captivate/cap4demo.htm).

Can WEBI Insert external files in report?

BO 6.5
can a Webi report be instructed to insert external files in the report layout, from .pdf or .doc files stored externally on the BO server Windows system? This will be static information, for eg a Cover Sheet.
Currently I am able to insert a small .jpg file in a cell to display the company graphics logo.
Would a similar approach work to insert a full page document? Maybe if I scanned and saved this document as .jpg? How about .pdf files? Has anyone tried this?

Avinash is simply saying that you can pull data from external data sources.
What you need is something that is NOT possible to achieve.
You want to embed external files and objects in WebI which is not in the scope of this product.
You can use Crystal Reports or upgrade to BI4.0 and create BI Workspaces

How can I load external file .txt in After Effects CC 2014.0 Release / Mavericks OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)?

ello everybody.
Someone can help me to load a external file .txt in After Effects CC 2014.0 Release / Mavericks OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)?
I tried the code bellow, but doesn't work.

$.evalFile(myPath);
eval(thisComp.name)[0];
}catch(err){
"MISSING";
The source.txt file have the texts bellow:
var comp1 = ["Title”, “Subtitle”, “Description”];
var comp2 = ["Text 0", "Text 1", "Text 2"];
var comp3 = ["Text 0", "Text 1", "Text 2"];
Thanks.

This is the text file (with the modified first line) that I used:
var comp1 = ["Title", "Subtitle", "Description"];
var comp2 = ["Text 0", "Text 1", "Text 2"];
var comp3 = ["Text 0", "Text 1", "Text 2"];

BTW - I did test it on AE CC 2014

How can i add external file as resource

When adding resources to a project, I can only add folders from the project's Properties --> ColdFusion Project --> Additional Source.
But I want to add only a single file......how should I do?
Anyone help me? Thanks a lot......

In Properties -> ColdFusion Project -> Additional source section one can add a linked folder i.e. a directory on the file system that you would like to add in the project.
If you want to add only a single file instead of entire directory then select the project, right click and select New -> File.
Click on the button 'Advanced' and select 'Link to file in the file system'.
Browse to the file in the file system by clicking the 'Browse' button.
After clicking OK you should be able to see the linked file in the project.
Let me know if this works for you.
Thanks,
Sagar.

Textinput issue from external file in AIR application (Is it bcz of mask?)

Hi
I tried to load external swf in TabNavigator. In this file, I have some input text.
I can key in external file's text input after load. But i got "Security Sandbox Violation" error.
Here is the code
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                                                     xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

                    </mx:Canvas>
</mx:TabNavigator>
</s:WindowedApplication>
To solve security issue, i used load swf as bytes. After load there is no security issues, but i cannot key in external file's text input.
Here is the code,

Thanks for your reply,
Yes, the addedToStage handler is executed every time. I set my host application up to work exactly with that behaviour. There are several events going from client to host to help the communication inside the the application. I can't get behind the reason why it won't work.
I made a case where I created a camera instance inside the host application and passed it over to the client via
client.setupFunction(inArg: arg, sendCamera: Camera);
That works. But I also need a microphone, and I can't get the mic working over with the same technique. And also I'd prefer to have it all in the client, cause I designed the application model to work exactly in that fashion.
I guess it's a secruity sandboxing problem, but I can't find any documentation on this issue.
Thanks, maybe another solution can be found here. ;-)

Compact all external files in a single projector

there is a xtras or a tool that compact all external files in
a
single projector? that have the same function of zinc , i can
put all
external files in a library and when i execute the
application unpack all
files in a directory

Great Work Kali. Thanks for sharing
One small doubt. Whenever I decompile some .class files. I find that the .java files doesnt compile properly
for example
throw new OAException(e.getMessage(), 0);
here it gives a compilation error like couldnt find new OAException(String,int) , where actually it is expecting byte
Also some times Class Names are not correctly decompiled like
Serializable a[]={a};
it decompiles as
Object a[]={a};
is there is a solution for this ? Also wanted to check if your decompiler decompiles the .class file into .java files without any such errors...
Many thanks for sharing such useful script

Manipulate plain pdf files with ADS

Hi experts,
We are struggling with following requirement:
Within a webdynpro application plain pdf files (transferred dayly to the servers file system) may be accessed and viewed.
The pdf should be viewed without any rights to print and save.
The trouble is - the pdf files are printable and saveable but can not be manipulated before this step.
We are using NW 7.01 and WD for Java.
To solve this we configured ADS an tried to convert the PDF using the clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api.
Yet we found no way to rewrite our pdf files with the api.
Looking through serveral forums did not give us a hint.
Are we going the wrong way?
Did we assume falsely that we can manipulate plain pdf files via ADS?
Thanks' and kind regards,
Horst

Hi Dezso,
thank you for this information! So don't need to invest more time in research.
As I understand the ADS is designed for forms and workflow stuff.
On the other hand to have such a powerfull tool like ADS which can not perform such simple actions like manipulation of non ADS generated pdf appears to me quite sad.
@Otto: As stated above - take a (non ads generated) pdf (e. g. from file system), add/remove rights and view it in a WD. No need of interactive form, template or data if not necessary.
Best regards,
Horst

Load dynamic text into Captivate form external file

Is it possible to load dynamic text into a Captivate file from an external file like an XML using Javascript.
I see there's a way to get it form the query scring of the URL ( http://captivatedev.com/2011/05/01/how-to-jump-to-a-specific-slide-in-a-separate-course/ ), but I have a project where I want several pieces of text to be replaced and we want to be able to edit it externally from the Captivate file.
Thanks!

Hi Ned,
What I'm doing is using a yahoo map to load addresses and
place custom swf files as the placemarkers. The main stage has an
instance of myMap, which is the map that yahoo sets us to display
the ACTUAL map. They have also provided coding for placing markers
on the map, which is what I'm using.
I have the addresses throughout multiple xml files, which I
am actually loading through 1 single xml file. These addresses are
being stored in an array, then called by the AS below to place
markers. All the markers are placed correctly, however, I am trying
to have them actually say the address - this is where the problem
lies.
The marker that is being located and placed has a text field
called load_text in it. I want that field to load the same address
that is being used to place it (from the array addressA).
I'm very confused because every loop through the * for (i=0;
i<addressA.length; i++) * loop the marker is placed at the
correct addressA
location, but I cannot actually get the address to load into the
load_txt field in the marker. I can even run a trace during that
loop and it traces addressA for each address, but I can't seem
to actually load those values into the load_txt box.
Do you have any ideas?

HT201250 Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive? I'm trying to restore lost photo files and I see them listed in Time Machine (without use of an external drive), but when I try to restore I get a error code 36.

Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive? While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean! When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message: "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"

Thanks so much Terence. I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:
http://pondini.org/TM/E9.html
That worked like a charm. I really appreciate it.

HT201250 Can I include external drives to be backed up using Time Machine. Not only do I want to back up my IMac, but I have several extenal drives for one iPhoto, one iTunes and one for other files & documents.

Can I include external drives to be backed up using Time Machine? Not only do I want to back up my IMac, but I have several extenal drives for one iPhoto, one iTunes and one for other files & documents. How do I know if they are included in the backup process?

Yes, if they are not exclude then TM backs them up.

Hello, I have two questions on time capsule I can only have it on my external hd files and free up my internal memory to my mac I can use an external hard drive, in my case a lacie rugged as shared memory for my two computers

Hello, I have two questions on time capsule I can only have it on my external hd files and free up my internal memory to my mac I can use an external hard drive, in my case a lacie rugged as shared memory for my two computers

I have a mackbook pro and an iMac if I buy a time capsule 2tb airport, I can use it with time machine and what would be the best way to use it.
There is no particular setup required for TM.. both computers will create their own backup sparsebundle which is like a virtual disk.. Pondini explains the whole thing if you read the reference I gave you.
and how to use time capsule airport whit other external hd to use my old lacie airport with the new time capsule
Up to you.. you can plug the external drive into the TC and enjoy really slow file transfers or you can plug it into your computer and use it as external drive.. which is faster than the TC.. and TM can include it in the backup.
Again everything is explained in the reference.. you are not reading it.
