Controlling shockwave content (dcr) from a web page using javascript

Hi,
Is it possible to control shockwave content (dcr; object="application/x-director") from a web page using javascript?
I believe this is possible using 'FSCommand' in Flash...
I'd like to use HTML to do something like:
- html_object[1].go(10);
to send playback to frame 10.
Thanks.
Mark

Sean,
Thanks - this is exactly what I was looking for.
'Shockingly' difficult ( pun intended :-)
Someone really put in some effort on this.
Very creative solution, putting a flash ( swf ) component in a director project and communicating indirectly through the flash element.
Apparently, Javascript can communicate with the SWF file & the SWF file can communicate with the DCR file, but it is not possible to have Javascript communicate directly with the DCR. Too bad.
After looking over this example I think I'll rethink my project.
Thanks again.
Mark

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,

Blocking the ability to download a photo from a web page using iWeb

You guys have been so helpful about helping me make video files and music tracks unavailable for downloading from my site by altering the javascript code on my iDisc. Now I have another problem.
The photo/pictures placeholders in iWeb permit me to place photos on my web pages. Is there a way to alter the code so that the option to drag-copy or download the picture from my site can be disabled?
Thanks for your help!
Jim

Here are some variations that make messing with strings easier.
$LocalPage ='\\server\share\sam1.html'
# build URI
$template= 'https://server/reports/116/output/?start-year={0}&start-month={1}&start-day={2}&days=1&company-code=1'
$d=[datetime]::Today.AddDays(-1)
$uri=$template -f ($d.Year-2000),$d.Month,$d.Day
(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $uri).Content | Out-File -FilePath $LocalPage -Force
& $LocalPage
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nice!

Can't create a PDF from a Web page using acrobat 8.0

I am using Acrobat 8.0, + Mac 10.5. When, in Acrobat, the dialog box comes up (File>Create PDF from Web) I first enter the URL, then try to click on "Settings" but nothing happens. Then I get an error message. Is this a known problem?

If the url is for a secured web site Acrobat can not always get the data as it is not logged into the web site. Some web features can not be converted to the PDF format. Is the web address correct? I would use cut and paste since some web addresses can be quite hard to type in.

(how) can I access Java APIs from web-page-hosted JavaScript?

Can I access Java APIs from a web-page via JavaScript if I have a JRE installed on the client machine? And if so, how?
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

And if so, how?As far as I can remember that was actually possible in the very first versions of Netscape because Netscape really wanted to pretend Javascript and Java were meant to be used together. But they soon removed that functionality. Can you guess why?
Because people were using the File/IO classes to easily steal or remove files on the harddrive, among other such niceties. You do NOT want to have such control from a web application. People will abuse it.

Using Adobe Pro X I cannot create a PDF from a web page.

After a recent upgrade from a previous version of Firefox, I am now unable to create a PDF from a web page using the Adobe Pro toolbar on the web page. A "save as" box appears and then the conversion process dies. I can print the page using Adobe Pro as my printer and it works fine. I can create other docs with Adobe Pro. How do I fix this on my browser?
Thanks.

Acrobat Pro XI: Creating a PDF from a Web Page

When I try to create a PDF from a Web page using Acrobat XI, I get the Error Code "Nothing done" and "Authorization Failure", but it doesn't happen on all webistes. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it? I'm using the trial version of Acrobat Pro XI on a Mac. Same result with either Firefox or Safari.
Thanks.

It's likely a HTTPS site or you have an authenticating proxy server where you are required to enter a password to acess the web page.

When I click on a link from a web page opened in Safari I get a blank black screen. Why can't I see the contents of the page?

Is this any link in any page, or one particular link in a particular page?

I did a COPY of some text from a web page, and then did a PASTE into notepad.exe (Windows). The text from each line was duplicated -- on the line! Instead of "Fred", it became "Fred Fred".

I just recently installed Firefox for the first time. It seems nice and quick. The version is reported as: "10.0.1".
I wanted to save some text from a web page, so navigated to that page, selected the text, and pressed the Control-C combination to COPY the selected text to the buffer. For example, the text I selected looked something like this:
Harry
Ron
Hermione
Hagrid
Albus
NOTE: Each line of text has a small icon to the left of the text.
It is not reasonable to COPY and PASTE each line individually, as there can be hundreds of lines of data. I recall, however, that
doing a COPY and PASTE on this data into Microsoft's Excel will produce cells which have the icons included in the cell, but unfortunately one cannot can't get rid of them! At least I've never found a way to remove them, but that's another issue. :)
Once I'd done the COPY operation I switched to a Notepad window and did a PASTE operation. To my surprise, the text from each line was duplicated. It looked like this:
Harry Harry
Ron Ron
Hermione Hermione
Hagrid Hagrid
Albus Albus
Thinking that there might be something unusual about the web page I looked at the source, but it appeared "normal" -- that is, as expected.
Note: I have done this operation several times before, and have never seen this occur before.
Note: In the actual data some of the lines have quoted text in them. Curiously there is weird behavior on these lines. In some cases the entire line is shown only once. (These occur at the top of the line, and the quoted text is at the beginning of the name.)
When quoted text appears "later" in the name, in some cases the quoted text is duplicated, and in other cases the quoted text is missing altogether! I have also noticed an error with the quoted text, and so will be reporting that to the web site which generates the HTML.
Note that each line of "text" is "anchor text", so if I click on a name the browser navigates to a page for that name.
I believe that the problem is that the COPY operating in Firefox is not simply copying the visible text, but also the ALT=
Below is a sample of what the source HTML looks like:
<a class="lnk" target="_blank" href="http://details.aspx?id=Harry">
<img width="16" height="16" alt="Harry" class="tb_icon" src="http://.../Harry.gif"/>
<span>Harry</span></a>
<br/>
(Because of the true length of the lines in the source HTML, I have stripped out the actual URL of the site.)
To make sure I wasn't imaging this difference I repeated the process within Internet Explorer. In that browser I did not get duplicated data.

Try:

Create PDF from Web page using Acrobat 9 Pro

I am trying to create a PDF file from a web page. The alt tags for images is not being recognized, and the reading order bounces all over the page (not the order of the web page). For example, the 1st text item on the page is #7 in the reading order, and the #1 item is an image half way down the page. All the documentation I can find says Acrobat will read top to bottom, left to right, but it's not. Any idea how to fix it?

Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
Once you have the PDF make working copies.
Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
You may have to manually tag the PDF.
n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.

Posting an XML Variable to a BLS Transaction from a web page

I am working in xMII 11.5 with all the latest service packs. I know this is probably a really basic question but I am stumped.
I am trying to pass a multi row and multi column XML data set from a web page into a BLS transaction (actually, two of them) in order to populate the parameter. I want to use the Web Service interface to the transaction. I have tried using parameters on an Xacute Query in an Applet as well with an equal lack of success. I cannot persuade the transaction to see the incoming variable as an XML data type. I have tried encoding and decoding and string to xml conversions and nothing seems to successfully allow the data set to be seen withing the BLS as anything but a string. The String to XML action will not handle the number of columns in the dataset though it seems to work if the data set has only one column. The data set is formatted in the proper "Rowsets/Rowset/Row" format. I have considered writing the data to an XML file on the server (I know I can deal with that) but that is not acceptable in this application.
Can someone share the secret with me?
...Sparks

Parameter value:
r1d1,r1d2,r1d3;r2d1,r2d2,r2d3;r3d1,r3d2,r3d2
Pass thru String List to Xml Parser with delim ";"
<Row>
<Item>r1d1,r1d2,r1d3</Item>
</Row>
<Row>
<Item>r2d1,r2d2,r2d3</Item>
</Row>
<Row>
<Item>r3d1,r3d2,r3d2</Item>
</Row>
Repeat on each row/item and pass thru String List to Xml Parser with delim ","
<Row>
<Item>r1d1</Item>
</Row>
<Row>
<Item>r1d2</Item>
</Row>
<Row>
<Item>r1d3</Item>
</Row>
Of course, your columns aren't flat but they are easy to ref, to get "column 2" for example:
StringListToXml_1.Output{/Rowsets/Rowset/Row[2]/Item}
So now you have rows and columns. Assign your data to your BAPI structured as needed.
We have passed complex XML via the SOAP interface in 11.5, but it involved some "hacks". Basically we passed the sterilized XML via a String Type Parameter, and then unserialized it inside the BLT.
I have been told on this board that there is a solution to passing XML data vie the SOAP interface using ref docs, but i have never personally seen a working example.
