Context-sensitive FlashHelp from a Client App - Has it EVER been done?

We are trying to call context-sensitive FlashHelp from a .NET client application. I've found posts from people with the same problem - they can't get it to work. The help window and main topic appear, but the topic context-sensitive portion of the address (pound sign and after) is ignored. In the comments at the end of the online help topic "Program Help for .NET" (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/RoboHelp/8.0/RoboHTML/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11aff59c571-7f3 9.html) the administrator states that the information will be updated in April, 2009. Still nothing. Any solutions out there?

Joseph

The updating of the help topic is distinct from the problem you are encountering. I believe this is a bug in FlashHelp.

Problems calling context-sensitive AIRHelp from Adobe Flex App

Hi everyone...
I´m having problems calling context-sesitive AIRHelp from Flex.
I can launch the help from flex using the following code (flex), but allways starts on the default topic.
private function invocarAirHelp(tema:String):void {
      var appID:String = "pc1";
      var pubID:String = "8C47FDE4638CAF7F210634E52A5F8318D893A57C.1";
      var mgr:ProductManager = new ProductManager("airappinstaller");
      mgr.launch("-launch " + appID + " " + pubID);
the launch method can recive parameters after the publisherID, but i dont know the parameters that i should give to the method to start the AIRHelp on an specific topic.
I tryed using the parameters as the call was on the command line, ex:
mgr.launch("-launch " + appID + " " + pubID + " -csh mapnumber 12");
but i can get any results... with those parameters the help application doesn´t even start
Anyone have an idea to make this works?
Thanks in advance, Sabin

Hi Sabin,
The only supported way to launch AIR applications from the browser is the air "browser API": http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=distributing_apps_3.html#1035834
The browser API uses ProductManager internally and exposes higher-level browser API so that we change the implementation if necessary someday. The browser API will stay the same, even if the interactions through ProductManager (or something else) change.
The browser API (air.swf) has other features that make it the preferred way to launch apps. For instance, it provides accurate information about which platforms support AIR, and can therefore manage install of new apps and of the runtime itself.
Also, if the application is not installed then Browser API will return Error to the flex application, but that does not happen in case of ProductManager.
That said, you can probably use "--" to separate arguments intended for airappinstaller from arguments that should be passed through to the app itself.
mgr.launch("-launch " + appID + " " + pubID + " -- -csh mapnumber 12");

Has this ever been done before?

Main report with numberous subreports but most of the subreports are using very similar or the same parameter prompts. How to combine all these prompts into just 4 parameters.. of the numerous prompts 4 were identified as the same. any suggestions?

Hi,
Yes, this can be avoide by linking Main report parameter to sub report parameter.
Example : Main report contains a 'Country' parameter and also some of your sub reports were also using the same parameter.
Right click on your sub report and go in Change sub report links and select main report parameter and select your sub report equalent parameter ( here we are linking main report parameter to sub report parameter).
Now your report will not askuser for your sub report parameter, it will pass your main report parameter value to sub report parameter.
thanks,
Sastry

I have the same problem but in reverse. I clicked on don't allow in FaceBook when I was asked to allow it to access my photos and videos. I have been into the privacy settings as suggested by FaceBook and there is no link.

Has there ever been a way/consideration to update an ipod shuffle by attaching it to an iphone or ipad?

Has there ever been a way/consideration to update an ipod shuffle by attaching it to an iphone or ipad? With a small audio cord, would it be possible to update and charge an ipod shuffle via an iphone or ipad? This could be useful for people on the go who want to add music to a workout playlist or have forgotten to charge their shuffle before a run/ride.

No, this is not possible. A computer has traditionally been a required part of the whole package, and only recently has become optional with iCloud and direct iTunes / app downloads.
In any event an iOS device has to get its content directly from a computer or directly from Apple. There is no other way.

Has anyone ever been quoted more than $500 to replace a failed logic board?

Has anyone ever been quoted more than $500 to replace a failed logic board? A Genius buddy of mine swears that it'll never be over $500 but I' convinced he's high out of his mind.

I doubt it. They don't even take the same kind of RAM.
What makes you think a replacement "will most likely go bad in the future"? Some have had to go back more than once; many haven't. (And many have not gone in at all.) There are many iBook users out there, happily iBooking away without any knowledge of the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program because they've never had a problem.
Get it replaced, free, NOW, and worry about the future when it gets here.

Is it or has it ever been possible to select multiple PDF's and print into a single print stream using Reader

We have Multiple users who claim they have been able to select multiple PDF's and select print. It then would send to a single stream and end up as one document. These are reader users.
We have tested under reader 10.1.4 and 11.0.06 and haven't been able to make it work. Has this ever been possible?

Thanks everyone. That's what I needed to know.

IE 7 and Context-Sensitive FlashHelp

Hi all, I'm hoping that you can brainstorm with me. I have a
FlashHelp system with context-sensitive topics that are called from
the application using the
start_page.htm#topic_name.htm syntax. Up to now, this has
worked really well in all browsers (IE, Netscape, Firefox, Safari,
etc.). In the new IE 7, however, making this kind of call doesn't
display the CS topic, but instead opens the default topic
(start_page.htm). Likewise, the URL in the browser window only
displays
start_page.htm, with the
#topic_name.htm info removed. From testing we've done, it
appears that IE 7 receives the complete help call, but then somehow
ignores or truncates the CS topic info.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas as to what is
causing it or (more importantly) how I might work around it?
Thanks,
Melinda

The updating of the help topic is distinct from the problem you are encountering. I believe this is a bug in FlashHelp.

Calling EJB from from a client app

Hi all,
I am trying to call an EJB component from portal. The example EJB I have taken is from SDN Bonus Calculator example - Application Server/Web Dynpro/Samples and Tutorials/Using EJBs (20)
I deployed the EAR file - no issue
I wrote the following code in a client app and trying to connect to the EJB remotely.
          try {
               java.util.Properties properties = new Properties();
               properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl");
               properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ux0800:55304");
               InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(properties);
               //InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
               // get ejb home
               home =
                    (BonusCalculatorLocalHome) ctx.lookup(
                         "localejbs/MySessionBean");
               theCalculator = home.create();
          } catch (Exception namingException) {
               namingException.printStackTrace();
I get the following error
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl]

Hi Sabbir,
Following code works for me in calling EJB from normal java application. Did you added the jar files to your application?. see the required jar files in end of code.
Create simple java applcation do the following steps:
Give JNDI name to the EJB(HelloJNDI)->Add the HelloEJB to HelloEAR ->deploy
Proxy Program to call ejb:
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import com.sample.Hello;
import com.sample.HelloHome;
public class HelloTest {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
                   Hello remote = null;
                  try {
                    Context ctx = new InitialContext();
                    HelloHome home = (HelloHome) ctx.lookup("HelloJNDI");
                    remote = home.create();
                    String result = remote.hello();
                    System.out.print("Result:" + result);
                     } catch (Exception e) {
                            System.out.println("Exception:" + e.getLocalizedMessage());
1. Go To Run > Java Application ->New->select your project and select your main class(java program from which your going to call EJB)
2. Click next tab ->(x)=Arguments
paste the following code in VM Arguments
-Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl -Djava.naming.provider.url=localhost:50104
replace the server IP address with your server IP address where your ejbs are running.
Under Class path settings for the program put the following jar files.
You can search for them from net weaver soruce folders
or copy from D:\usr\sap\J2E\JC01\j2ee\j2eeclient
ejb20.jar
logging.jar
exception.jar
sapj2eeclient.jar
Add Corresponding ejb.jar
and RUN >>>
this makes testing of your client programs easier, you can find the error trace on which line and saves lot of time.

Deploy BlazeDS services separately from Flex client app?

Is it possible to deploy my BlazeDS services app separate
from the Flex client app? I would like to manage the 2 deployments
separately. Every example and the instructions seem to link
everything into one deployment bundle.

Hi Alex, thanks for your advice. I tried reading the client-side logs, but it just physically shows what I was saying earlier - that the consumer is connected and subscribed, but no messages are coming through to it.
I've attached the output of the 'flashlog.txt' file. For the particular session shown, the flex application was sent 8 JMS messages, but as you can see nothing got through. I put a 'trace' message in the message handler function (for my consumer object), but it never gets called.
'E2513351-75DA-0837-7263-3807B91D9630' consumer set destination to 'flextest-message-destination'.
'7D784A40-DBBB-71F1-4029-3807B91D45E3' producer set destination to 'flextest-message-destination'.
'consumer' consumer subscribe.
'flextest-streaming-amf' channel endpoint set to http://localhost:8400/FLEXTEST/msgbroker/streaming-amf
'flextest-streaming-amf' channel settings are:
'flextest-streaming-amf' pinging endpoint.
'flextest-streaming-amf' channel is connected.
'flextest-streaming-amf' channel sending message:

messageId="8A592005-3C8A-4C6C-B074-380857710C00"
operation="subscribe"

timestamp=0
'consumer' consumer connected.
'consumer' consumer acknowledge for subscribe. Client id '37CC5DED-A019-7110-3C89-A9926835103E' new timestamp 1233595684954
'consumer' consumer acknowledge of '8A592005-3C8A-4C6C-B074-380857710C00'.
Seems to me there can only be two explanations: either my BlazeDS configuration is incorrect (which is unlikely given that everything works if I use a ActiveMQ as my JMS provider with only trivial changes to my configuration), or there is some bug within BlazeDS that is preventing it from working properly with FioranoMQ. What do you think?

Has anyone ever successfully done a cont double buffer acq from multiple SCXI channels AND a spare AI of the MIO that controls the SCXI chassis at the same time?

I am trying do a sanity check before I order some hardware.
What I want to do is acquire from multiple channels in a SCXI chasis and as part of the same acquisition, also read from one of the "un-used" AI channels of the MIO card.
My concern is this:
All of the channels of the SCXI chassis get multiplexed down into a single channel of the MIO card that controls the SCXI chassis. This means that channel 0 has to do multiple A/D conversions to get a reading from all of the configured SCXI channels.
Meanwhile, the other AI channel of the MIO only has to do one to get it's reading. It seems that the on-boar
d clock of the MIO would have to run at two rates to be able to read all of my SCXI channels AND the other AI channel.
What I want to do:
I want to just configure a vitual channel for all of my SCXI channels AND one more for one "odd-ball" signal that is incompatable with all of the SCXI modules.
Then I just want to list all of my virtual channels when I configure and start my continuous double buffered acquisition.
I have successfully done all SCXI channels before, but I have never tried to use one of the un-used AI on the MIO at the same time. I have used the spare DIO lines previously, but that will not work in this app.
So...
If you have done this and it worked, I would greatly appreciate hearing about any special techniques that were used, etc.
Thank you for reading this question,
Ben

I have updated my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1.1 and I am trying to email a document from pages but it has changed and I don't know how to email directly from pages anymore can someone please help ?

I have updated my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1.1. Now I cannot email from pages . Cannot anyone help me please ?

Hi Lila,
Bring up the document you want to email, and tap the wrench in the upper right-hand corner. Under that Tools icon you will see several options, select Share and Print.
Select Email Document
Then select the document format you wish to send the document in: Pages, PDF, or Word
Tap on one, and the document will format into that selection, and then take you to a blank email page with the document attached and ready to go!
Hope this helps!

Has anyone ever been able to leave openbox for good?

I just went on a little adventure over the past couple of days trying out different WMs and DEs. I went from XFCE, to gnome, to XFCE, then compiz stand-alone and back again. I found that in every environment I was trying to make it feel more like my openbox setup. Finally I realized that I needed to come back to my comfort zone. I must confess, the main thing I miss from using other DEs is compiz and its wobbly, snapping windows. Not to mention expo, and the desktop wall. However, I hate dealing with all the crap that comes with a DE, and compiz standalone is just not there yet. I also dabbled in awesome because I like the idea of being able to tile my windows, but I don't work enough in terminals to go that far.
Has anyone else ever tried to leave openbox? If so, why? Did you leave for good?

The OP's question implies that you would want to leave Openbox.
Btw, for those who enjoy the merits of tiling WMs, just configure your openbox to behave like one. I have the following in my rc.xml file which lets me very quickly arrange windows in a tiled layout with no wasted space on my desktop using the MoveToEdge and GrowToEdge actions. Using these actions on windows without decorations lets you created any tiled layout that you want (I tried Awesome before Openbox but just couldn't stand the limited layout options). All it takes is a few drags and clicks.

<action name="MoveToEdgeNorth"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-S-Down" action="Click">

</context>
You could of course skip the mouse and create some keyboard bindings to handle all of this too.
