Change Movie with JavaScript

Hi,
I have a Flash Media Server that is serving about 10
different video clips on demand. I have player that's embedded into
a web page which streams one of those clips. I'd like to be able to
click on a button and have Javascript interact with the player so
it loads and streams a new movie based on parameters passed to it.
My movie loads using the AC_FL_RunContent() class in
AC_RunActiveContent.js which was generated when I published my .swf
file for the web.
How can I use Javascript to access those parameters so that
when a user clicks a button the player gets updated with a
different stream from the server?
Thanks in advance for the advice, kind words and heckles for
the newbie.

Resize and hide a movie with JavaScript Fonctions

Hello,
I've read your topic about JavaScript Scripting Guide for QuickTime and I want to know if there is a solution for to rezise and to hide movie with JavaScript fonctions.
Thank in advance

It is very strange, most users who have focus on JS try to do everything with it, whereas lot of simple actions can easily be done with advanced/shared actions. I will only go to JS when it is not possible with advanced/shared actions.
You are lucky, I was just restarting to work on an advanced training for next week when your question showed up.

Controlling captivate movie with JavaScript

Hi,
I am trying to use Flash methods to control a captivate movie
using procedures documented in the support center article:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/publishexport/scriptingwithflash/scriptingwithflash_03. html
I am using the following code in a JavaScript:
var movie = window.document.Captivate1;
movie.StopPlay();
Captivate1 is the object ID assigned by Captivate when it
generates the HTML file. The movie does not respond to the command.
I have created my own Flash movie and the StopPlay command
works with it.
Thanks in advance for any help anybody can provide!

Captivate SWFs don't respond like other Flash movies. You can
use similar techniques, but must use some specific, legacy "control
variables" that are hanging around since the RoboDemo days:
To pause a movie, use rdcmndPause = 1;
A good place to find more details is here:

Playing different flash movies with Javascript

I've been researching this on the web to no avail so I figured I would post.
I am developing a homepage similar to http://www.extractable.com/
I have several different areas of text, which when you hover over them, I would like a different flash movie to play. I have created this using pictures (example of one piece of the code is below), but want to increase the flashyness with, well, flash
      if (obj.id =="txtHolderPrograms")
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").style.filter="blendTrans(duration=.5)";
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").filters.blendTrans(duration=.5).Apply();
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").src = "PMDO.png";
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").filters.blendTrans(duration=.5).Play();
      document.getElementById("imgLargePictureHREF").href = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
I have a div where I want the different movies to play in. What is the best way to get the different flash files? Keep in mind that extractable site is doing just about exactly what I want to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I can't tell how you have things set up between the title of your posting and what you say to explain the problem. What are you calling pages? How do the pageselate to the 2 flash file in the doc you mention?

Changing prefs with javascript (CS1-CS5)

Items created on one side of the spread need to be duplicated and moved to the other side (template information, etc.). We need the preferences in InDesign CS1-CS5 to remember layers when pasting during the running of the script, but we don't want to permanently hijack the customers preferences.
Is there a way to 1) check a preference setting, 2) apply a change if needed, and then 3) return the setting to its previous state only if changed?
Thanks in advance,
Seth

I'm not sure if this was even a preference pre-CS3, and, if so, if it always has been exposed to the scripting engine. In CS4, it is scriptable as a boolean value:
app.clipboardPreferences.pasteRemembersLayers
.. and the usual way of working around nasty user preferences is this:
1. Start of script:
originalValue = app.clipboardPreferences.pasteRemembersLayers;
app.clipboardPreferences.pasteRemembersLayers = true;
2. Do Your Stuff.
3. End of script:
app.clipboardPreferences.pasteRemembersLayers = orginalValue;

Change page attribute with JavaScript

Hi,
hope someone can help.
Is it possible to change a BSP page attribute with JavaScript??
I have a JavaScript array with some serialnumbers. After push a save button, i want to save the array data into a page attribute.
Some ideas?
Regards Anton

Hi,
The only way of passing vars from JS to page attributes is submitting them via (hidden) values in a form or via params in an URL.
Alternatively, you can try to let JS store things in a client cookie and let the BSP read that cookie.
I didn't try that out yet though.

I need to change the sum of a column's total with javascript.

Hi,
The HTML output of a SUM column is as follows:
<td align="center" headers="COST" class="t2data"><b> 827.49</b></td>
I need to change the sum total with javascript.
The initial loading of the page SUMs the DB values correctly. Then onchange JS for a couple of factors may change one items COST.
When that one item's COST changes I need to reSUM the total with JS.
I was trying the following.. I don't know JS to well.
     var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
     for (var xtd in tds) {
     //alert('Here:'+xtd.headers);
     if (xtd.headers=="COST") {
     // you found the element, do what you need
     alert(xtd.innerHTML);
     After inserting the above code into my javascript is popups up
     my alert, "Here:undefined"
     and never hits the alert(xtd.innerHTML);

Hi Ya'll,
I got the following working. See any problems?
headers=="COST" actually showed up in each row of the whole column, including the SUM. So it ended up being great so I could sum it in the JS.
I had to change the column type to NUMBER from VARCHAR2 for the initial SUM to work, so adding any formating to the SQL was not good. It looks pretty much what Andy has though... I found a slight hesitation it it though.. I have to work out a bug that prints the old total instead of the first.
var ltotal =0;
var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for (var k=0; k<tds.length; k++) {
if (tds[k].headers=="COST") {
var inputObjs= tds[k].getElementsByTagName('input');
if(inputObjs.length>0) {
for (var j=0;j<inputObjs.length;j++) {
ltotal+= parseFloat(inputObjs[j].value);
//alert(inputObjs[j].value);
//alert(ltotal);
}else{
tds[k].innerHTML=ltotal;

Change TextView value with Javascript

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way of changing the value of an HTMLB TextView on the client side with javascript.
Do you know how to do that ? Cannot work it out...
Many thanks
Nicolas

Hi,
this can be a bit tricky, because you have to know, how to access the element. that means you need an unique id or an absolute position of the TextView-element
if you can see, how to access the specific element in your client-pagesource, a possible javascript could be:
document.getElementById("<id of element>").firstChild.nodeValue="My new Text"
or access by name/count of the element:
document.getElementsByName("<name of element>")[#position of occurance].firstChild.nodeValue="My new Text"

     Country //// Values
      Morocco           ma
     Portugal           pt
Thanks

Hi,
Listboxes and dropdowns can be scripted against without too much difficulty.
You would need something like this in the click event of the button:
listbox1.rawValue = null; //clear previous choice
listbox1.clearItems(); //clear the list items
listbox1.addItem("Moocco", "ma"); //add new list items
listbox1.additem("Portugal", "pt");
Hope that helps,
Niall

Change margins + object move with margins

Hello!
We have a catalogue with 300+ pages!
Margins size for that catalogue are:
Top: 18 mm
Bottom: 18 mm
Indise: 12,7mm
Outside: 12.7 mm
Margins Inside and outside must to be change to 20 and 15 mm
After i change the margins, the objects(incl. contet, tables, text.... etc) is not move with new margins size!
Enable Layout adjusment.. it is not working like I want.
How can i change Margins and all object to move with new margins size?
Thank you in advance!

If the objects are not currently snapped to guides they will not move reliably. If they are all athe same distance from the current margins, however you can, with Layout Adjustment off, change the margins so they snap, then enable layout adjustment and change the margins to where you really want them.
Other than that, you need to do your moving object-by-object. If they all need to move the same amount it's probably scriptable, and you should ask in the scripting forum for help: InDesign Scripting

Changing applet parameters with Javascript

Is it possible to have an applet read a param value which has been changed with Javascript after the applet loads?
I've tried changing the param value in this way, but the applet doesn't read the new value. It reads the default value in the HTML when the applet loads, and getParameter is in the main loop of the applet which runs and updates other (internal) values fine...

Well that page says that param values can't be changed at run-time. Never mind though because I read some more and found out how to implement a method in the applet (which can be called from Javascript) that reads the host page's DOM, thereby achieving the same result.
Thanks for the pointer.

Button with Javascript appearance changed.

Hi,
I created button with javascript from
Re: Button and Function
Everything works fine, But button looks different now
No appearance of button is there & button label is displayed in orange color.
Have i missed something or i will never like original.

I have done some changes suggested by ATD for another thread.
In your app, through Shared Components, Templates create a new button template based on a copy of an existing one (pick whichever existing template you prefer, the normal Button may be ok). When the new template is created, edit it. You should see something like the following in the "Template" setting:
a href="#LINK#" class="t12Button" #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#>#LABEL#</a
There may be other HTML around this, but this is the important part as it is the actual button itself. Change this to:
a href="#" class="t12Button" #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#>#LABEL#</a
Now, on your button on the page, change it to use your new button template. In the Button Attributes setting, add in:
onclick="javascript:checkText();"
everything works fine except appearance of button.

I recently downloaded a movie with an avi extension, I changed it to .m4v and then tried to import it into iTunes but never goes through the importing process and it never shows up.

I recently downloaded a movie with an avi extension, I changed it to .m4v and then tried to import it into iTunes but never goes through the importing process and it never shows up.

That WON'T convert it.
If I do the same with an MP3 and change the extension to JPG, it DOESN'T make it a picture. It makes it unusable.
Change it back to AVI and download "Handbrake". http://handbrake.fr/
Use HandBrake to "convert" it to M4V.

Can a display image field be changed with javascript

I have a select list (P3_RECON_CONDITION). when it changes It triggers javascript..
in that javascript I would like it to change a Display Image field (P3_RECON_COLOR) without having to refresh the whole page..
P3_RECON_COLOR is a Display image filed that gets its image from a blob from SQL:
select color from projstat.condition_color, projstat.project where condition_color.condition = nvl(:P3_RECON_CONDITION,'W') and project.job_piece = :P3_JOB_PIECE
the display field works now, but only for what the P3_RECON_CONDITION is when the page is loaded..

yes, I tried that, but couldn't figure out how to do the: " dynamic action refresh the item P3_RECON_COLOR"
I have
Event: Change
Selection Type: Item
Item: P3_RECON_CONDITION (the select list)
no condition
TRUE ACTION: Refresh
Fire when True:
Selection Type: Item
Item: P3_RECON_COLOR (the display image)
(if I change the action to submit page.. it does fire.. but the refresh item does nothing..)
