Click a button to run a script

hi, I'm runnning Solaris server, create a Java GUI application. I want to achieve the following task:
1) Once I click on the button on the Java GUI application, the application will invoke a script written in perl. (in this sense, the button acts a bridge to run the perl script)
Any one know how to achieve this, using what Java classes to run scripts written by other scripting language?
Thanks in advance:)

To execute other stuff (such as perl scripts), use Runtime.exec(String command). Check the API documentation for details.
(I think you are confusing yourself and setting up for bad design by dragging the button into the "how to run a script"-part of it, but that's another issue.)

How to insert and delete fragments by clicking a button and how to script it?

I have a question on livecycle. I am collecting the inventor information as a bunch of text fields, each asking for a certain details. Please see below
Now I have grouped them all in to one fragment called inventordetails and saved as .xdp file, so I could reuse this entire block. I want to add a button underneath this block, “ADD MORE INVENTORS” and when clicked this will insert another block and so forth and so on. However I was not sure as to how to insert and delete a fragment. Do you think you can help with this? I appreciate any help in this regard.

1.       I have a subform1 which is flowed
2.       I have subform2 inside subform1 which is positioned
3.       Inside subform2 I have two buttons 1. ADD INVENTOR 2. DELETE INVENTOR
4.       Also inside subform1 I insert a fragment called inventor
Now I want to script the buttons so that when clicked the inventor fragment either gets inserted again or deleted.
I greatly appreciate any help in this regard.

Run a script by clicking on a button panel

Hi,
i am very new to scripting in after affects and in general.
Several month ago i write severals little scripts to speeds up my workflow. I launch them via the "Launch Pad" script Panel.
Now, i would like to put my scripts in my own panel but i'm missing the properties to link the "script part" and the "panel part".
For the panel i have (just one button for the moment):
win=new Window("window","new project",[0,0,500,500],{resizeable:true,});
but_1=win.add("button",[33,16,103,36],"Sharpen3Way");
win.center();
win.show();
and my previous script that work independently.
myComp = app.project.activeItem;
// Selectionne la composition active
app.beginUndoGroup("Sharpen 3 Way");
// Start Undo Group
mySolid01 = myComp.layers.addSolid([100,100,100], "Sharpen", myComp.width, myComp.height,1);   // Ajoute un layer Solid
mySolid01.adjustmentLayer = true;
// Transforme le Solid en Adjustement Layer
mySolid01.label = 5;
// Attribue la couleur d'un Adjustement Layer
mySolid01.opacity.setValue(40);
// Change l'opacité du Layer
myEffect = mySolid01.property("Effects").addProperty("Unsharp Mask").name = "Unsharp Mask Large";
// Ajoute un effet sur ce calque
myEffect = mySolid01.Effects.property("Unsharp Mask Large")(1).setValue(10);
myEffect = mySolid01.Effects.property("Unsharp Mask Large")(2).setValue(40);
myEffect = mySolid01.property("Effects").addProperty("Unsharp Mask").name = "Unsharp Mask Medium";
// Ajoute un effet sur ce calque
myEffect = mySolid01.Effects.property("Unsharp Mask Medium")(1).setValue(65);
myEffect = mySolid01.Effects.property("Unsharp Mask Medium")(2).setValue(1);
myEffect = mySolid01.property("Effects").addProperty("Unsharp Mask").name = "Unsharp Mask Fine";
// Ajoute un effet sur ce calque
myEffect = mySolid01.Effects.property("Unsharp Mask Fine")(1).setValue(95);
myEffect = mySolid01.Effects.property("Unsharp Mask Fine")(2).setValue(0.5);
app.endUndoGroup();
// End Undo Group
How do i make the relation to run the script when i click on the but_1 ("Sharpen3Way")
thanks you.

Hi,
if you don't have that many scripts and they are short like this, you can make them into functions, and on click events the function is called.
A bit off topic but i think important, (1) avoid windows of type window, palettes are better, (2) you should use the keyword "var" when declaring new variables,
(3) to make it dockable have a look at David Torno's tutorials ([Tutorial] After Effects ExtendScript Script Writing).
Edit : And also (4) You should use matchNames (or index) to refer to properties, not english name. If you hand this script to someone who does not have AE i english, it will probably not work
For instance myEffect should be instead: myEffect = mySolid01.property("ADBE Effect Parade").addProperty("ADBE Unsharp Mask2");

How to run a script A from a button "Button 1" ?

Hi all, I've got this problem for having a window with several buttons named "Button 1" "Button 2"... and run the script "Script A" if we click on the button 1, the script "Script B" if we click on the button 2 etc...
Here is my short script :
#target indesign
//make a table of contents which send directly to the right script
var w=new Window("dialog");
var buttongroup=w.add("group");
var panel=buttongroup.add("panel");
var button1=panel.add("button",undefined,"Script A");
var button2=panel.add("button",undefined,"Script B");
var button3=panel.add("button",undefined,"Script C");
var cancel=buttongroup.add("button",undefined,"Cancel",{name:'cancel'});
buttongroup.addEventListener('click',press)
w.show();
function press(e){
    if(e.target.type=="button"){
        if(e.target.text=="Script A"){
            //w.close();
            app.doScript(new File("c/scriptA.jsx"),ScriptLanguage.javascript);
        else if(e.target.text=="Script B"){
            app.doScript(new File("c/scriptB.jsx"),ScriptLanguage.javascript);
        else if(e.target.text=="Script C"){
            app.doScript(new File("c/scriptC.jsx"),ScriptLanguage.javascript);
Each script A, B and C begins with an app.dialogs.add()
And here is the problem, it tells me that an alert or a modal dialog is already active
I tried the w.close() but it doesn't work...
I don't think addEventListener is what I need, maybe I'm wrong for using a window but it's the only way to give names to the buttons, isn't it ?

Now I get it... I work both on Mac and Windows but when I tried the 'palette' I forgot that I had only the version CS4 on Windows
(and I launched the script from the ESTK instead of the script panel..mistake !!)
Now it works great on the Mac, thank you Peter for the help and for the pdf scriptui

send_reminder needs to be defined as an application process
Alternatively, you can define a dynamic action and do this more declaratively.
It's easy to define a DA that fires on click of a button that runs PL/SQL, and you can also define which page items are sent to and received from the plsql via session state.

Trying to makea report run when clicking a button on a form

I am trying to run a report by clicking a button on a form (Forms 9i)
I have modified the registry settings for FORMS90_PATH and REPORTS_PATH to include my development directory, and now at last the report is generating. However the command to display the form in a window is not doing anything at all - no error even. Can someone please help, the trigger code for my button is displayed below:
DECLARE
     rep_result VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY('INVENTORY_REPORT', REPORT_FILENAME, :GLOBAL.project_path || 'Inventory.rdf');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY('INVENTORY_REPORT', REPORT_DESNAME, :GLOBAL.project_path || 'Inventory.htm');
     rep_result := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT('INVENTORY_REPORT');
     --MESSAGE('Rep result: ' || rep_result);
     WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('file:///' || :GLOBAL.project_path || 'Inventory.htm', '_blank');
     --WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('file:///C:\Temp\Dev\Inventory.htm', '_blank');
END;
thx

Hi,
may be this could be helpful for you:
You have to include the following code to execute a report:
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status Varchar2(20);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object(report_name);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,report_server_name);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
if rep_status = 'FINISHED' then
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver90','_blank');
else
error report not exists
end if;
END;
Also you have to create the report server with the command:
"rwserver - install service_name autostart=yes
report server name must be the same that appears in the code above
You must add the report to run in the REPORT object type in your .fmb and put there with the same name
The report server to install ought to be the one and only in you network to avoid mistakes...

How do I run a video in one cell of a table when a user clicks a button in another cell?

In other words, I want to put 3 buttons in one cell of a table so that the user can run one of three Flash videos in a cell beside the buttons. How do I do that?
Header 1
Header 2
button 1 runs video 1
button 2 runs video 2
button 3 runs video 3
video 1, 2, or 3 is inserted here when the user clicks the button

You will have better luck if you find a Flash Player that uses a playlist. Direct links to FLV files don't work.

Another option is to upload your videos to YouTube.com. You can customize a YouTube player and populate it with videos you specify. Then paste their player embed code into your web page.

How to run a subVI without poping up normally, but when clicking a button, popup the front panel?

I know pop-up the front panel of a subVi when called by selecting VI Properties>>Windows apperence.
But what I need to do is: always run the SubVI inside the parent VI as the nornal subVI do without poping up. But when I click a button"show front panel", the SubVI popup the front panel.
Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks,

ossoo,
You can use a static VI reference to the subVI and then use the Front Panel Open invoke method to show the front panel when you want. I have attached two VIs that show this. I saved these VIs for LabVIEW 2009 so you should be able to open them up and run them in 2009 or later. Add.VI is the subVI that you are calling. The Caller.VI is just a While Loop that contiually calls the Add subVI. Inside of the While Loop is also a Case Structure with a Static VI Reference (you might need to change the path this is pointing to after downloading the VIs to your computer for this to work) and the Front Panel Open invoke method. You can run the Caller.VI and interact with the main Front Panel as normal and see the subVI but then you can click the Open subVI? boolean button and it will open the subVI's front panel. You can continue to interact with the main front panel and see the values update on the subVI's front panel as well. You can just close the subVI's front panel when you are done viewing it. Does this help?

On clicking a button run external class which refrances main application

I have a reader ReadXML and a Jframe Cpass, on clicking a button on Cpass, an new filechooser opens, this then fills the input jtextfiled12 . When clicking "load" button on cpass I need to send jtextfiled12.getText() to ReadXML (this runs, and updates mank text fields on cPass)... but I cant reference from a static context Cpass>>ReadXML>>Cpass.... so having a problem
relevant cPass in cPass.java:
public class Cpass extends javax.swing.JFrame {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Cpass C = new Cpass();
     C.show();
public String getIn() {        return this.jTextField12.getText();         }
relevant ReadXML in ReadXML.java:
public class ReadXML {
private void ReadInXML() throws IOException {
     String XmlInText = Cpass.getIn();
          BufferedReader allData8 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
(new FileInputStream(new File( XmlInText)),"UTF8")); }
Edited by: Mr_Tuition on Dec 5, 2007 3:44 AM

but since cpass is already running from cpass, i cant reinitialise it, I need to used the insatance that is already shown, since it contains the infomation needed to pass to readXML
public static void main(String args[]) {
   Cpass C = new Cpass();
   C.show();
   }When selectinfg a button on C (which selects the file location), that then opens readXML, I cant open a new version of Cpass (since this wont contain the infomation, eg the file the user has just chosen)
I need to run Cpass
Click a button that selects a file
then file location is set in a text feild on Cpass
on selecting "load" on Cpass, this runs readXML.java
*readXML some how gets the file location from Cpass (which is still C.show();)
the XML is read, and sent back to Cpass via:
          public String[] getStrAllData() {
                  return this.arrayXML;
         }One way arround thios is to copy the readXML function into Cpass but thats just messy
Another would be to write out a "cookie" type file that saves the location, then readXML can use this .. less messy, but not what I wanted.

Those are not necessarily running. It's a list of previously opened apps for the most part. You can flick the cards upwards to get rid of them.

How to run a batch file clicking a button?

Hi All,
Can you tell me anyone how to run a batch file clicking a button? And also the progress bar showing the progress.
Arif

As said: write the insert statement like above (of course replace the databaselink, column and table names with your own) in a stored procedure and call this procedure in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger.
As for the progress bar: how many records are you processing and how is the network connection between your database server? As above method is rather fast it might take just a few seconds and you could spare you the progress bar (this might be a little tricky to implement).
cheers
