CP5 Button WIdget FILE Open problems

Hi,
I'm running CP5. I want to have a button that exists on ALL slides, so I used the button widget. I want it to open a file when clicked. I keep getttnig "file does not exist errors". Now I know the file exists because to test, I also put a regular button on slide 1 and had it open the same file, so the file is there and can be opened. All other aspects of the button widget seem to work (open URL, go to next, etc), but I can't get the file open to work. What am I missing here?
Help....
Thanks,
Lori

Are you pointing to another CP-file? You have to point to the cptx-file, not to the published SWF.

Show button on file open if interactivity supported

Is there any way to show a button upon file open if and only if the PDF reader opening the file supports interactivity? That is, there's no point showing the button if the end user can't do anything with it.
It would be fine if the button showed if and only if the PDF reader opening the file is an Adobe product, but it's not a requirement.
Steps:
1. Open file
Expected result: If interactivity is supported (or if the reader is an Adobe product, doesn't matter), show the button.
The button is not part of a form, but rather is used to show and hide layers. It is okay if the expected result requires JavaScript, as if they have JavaScript disabled, they would get the same result as if they had no interactivity.

You could define an invisible button and have JavaScript to make it visible on open. Not guaranteed (because who knows what all PDF viewers will do) but worth trying.

File Open problem

After updating to the most recent security I have the following problems with Text edit and MS Word.
I cannot use File Open to access a file. I get the spinning ball and application not responding. I can double-click the text or Word file and they will open.
Does this make sense? Anyone have a suggestion?

It's more likely a configuration problem in the server itself, it must be configured to open that format for some reason.
You could create a download server which reads the file from disk and outputs it to the browser using the content-type "application/octet-stream". That will force a download box. Search this forum, it is asked almost every day.

File Open Problem. Open in Browser But need in Access

Dear friends,
I developed an application in MS-Access and having as "FutureStat.bak" I want this file to be distrubuted over network. So, i placed the file in Stat folder under root folder with an index file which gives a hyperlink to this file.
If i use tomcat 4.1 it prompts for Open With / Save
But my company is having Tomcat 5.5 , which opens the file in browser. with some unicode format. I need tomcat to prompt for Open With or Save is there any code for opening ???
Thanks in Advance,
Rengaraj

AFP disconnects users, file opening problems, abnormal exits and bus errors

Hi all
Since a few weeks we have been having problems with AFP file sharing with OS X Server 10.5.5 (Simple config)
Several times a day the server stops responding to save commands (especially with Adobe software) or abruptly disconnects users. The console error most frequently associated with these crashes is:
"com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.AppleFileServer[3674]) Exited abnormally: Bus error"
sometimes starting server preferences we get the following error (roughly translated from French):
An Error has occured on the server while executing a command.
the error "CANNOTFSGETVOLINFOERR" occured while executing a command of type "getVolumeList" in the module "servermgr_filebrowser"
I'm past hoping for a quick fix but any pointers or ideas of what to look for would be greatly appreciated.
Robin Lambell

I just want to make sure I have the steps clear.
disable the automounts in 'Filesharing' in Server Admin
I disable the automounts in the File Sharing tab of Server Admin by clicking on each share point and clicking the Unshare button.
then remove the sharepoints
How? Isn't that automatic? I chose to unshare a share point and it disappeared from the list. Is that enough?
Then in Terminal.app do:
sudo rm /private/var/etc/AFP.conf
Then:
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist
Then in Server Admin, restore the sharepoints back and automounts. Then restart the AFP service.
I restore the share points by manually choosing to share each of them again? I'll have to redefine each one, won't I?
Thanks for the help. I haven't done this before and I want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Embarrassing file open problem

So I'm carrying all my files with me without needing my office on the phone, right? Use mobileme or sugarsync or any of these applications and have QuickOffice or Documents to Go on the phone and I can view most any file or at least the most popular, right?
I was out with a client and wanted to go over some items on a simple spreadsheet - so I opened up my sync apps that shows all my docs stored in a remote location. I open the doc and it doesn't work... why? Because it was a spreadsheet saved as a CSV file. No big deal, right? I've got the latest iPhone, latest OS, have every document application on the iPhone and can open up 20 different types of document types. Cool. I'm the guy the client believes is fluent with technology and have the latest, advanced phone from Apple.
So how do you get a document from one application or email to be opened properly with your application that will open the document on the iPhone? From what I'm reading, iPhone applications are practically worthless unless you have used WiFi to copy your documents into that application's folder or "sandbox" or something like that. This can't be right. If it is, then why do I care whatsoever about all this nonsense about mobileme and cloud computing? It's like water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink? If this is the way applications work, it practically obliterates the whole point about cloud computing and accessibility of your documents in one primary location.
I'm just a little nervous now because I've had my phone for 2 months and this is the first time I've encountered something like this. I'm afraid to think I'll be stuck in this place for two years and hoping I must have had misinformation. I can't imagine trying to copy every file in my office 4 times into 4 separate applications (wasted 3X more space) and having to sync everything manually 4 times every day. This would defeat the purpose of all this sync and mobility.
Thanks to everyone for the help in advance.

+I believe your problem with .csv is that you lack on the iPhone a) the ability to assign a default app for opening .csv and b) a file manager. Right now, there may be no solution; however, there may be work-arounds.+
This is the problem. I get Word documents I cannot edit because while I have QuickOffice and Document to Go on the iPhone, there is no way to get files to these applications via email, mobileme/sugarsync!!!! Perhaps this is why Dataviz isn't providing any support for its iPhone application any more. It's crazy. Thanks for confirming this with me.
+"Yes, I know what csv is; I think I used that format once... on a punch card. If you want apple to support this format, make th comment to apple."+
+"CSV is not popular due to its encrypted formatting."+
What planet are you jokers from? CSV or delimited text files are used ALL the time by popular applications and download of data. Every bank offers CSV. Quicken and Money apps provide CSV files. If you want a list of anything like your domains from your registrar or any other data, there is ALWAYS a CSV option. The only "formatting" is that it places a tab or comma between columns so it can be read universally. It's perhaps one of the simplest formats.
But there is only one point - I have MANY applications on my iPhone that read CSV files. How do I get the application to READ the CSV file from mobileme or sugarsync or from email?
*Here's the other problem - sometimes one reader will do a much better job than another with a PDF, XCL or a DOC. HOW can I define what application will open up these files???*

DMS file opening problem for docx & xlsx files.

Hi All,
while opening docx & xlsx files data is getting truncated when they are transmited as external attachments from SRM with ERP PO mail through DMS.
I feel there should be some problem with DMS itself as file format doc, xls are opening correctly as they were mapped with work station type DOC & XLS.
Need your iputs to rectify the problem.
Thanks,
Ramakrishna

Hi Ramakrishna,
Kindly maintain the settings in SPRO->Document Management->General Data->Define Workstation Application (DC30).
For XLS application define file format as *.xlsx and DOC application maintain file format as *docx.
Hope this might resolve ur issue.

File opening problem

I am having a problem opening files in Photoshop. When i go to file > Browse in bridge, I get the following message:Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation. I have purged the cash in preferences, but still get this message, can anyone throw any light on this problem. I have also had the problem where bridge gives the message: building criteria and yet nothing happens.

Please go to the following link, then to the office section to download Project 2010.

CS4 extended file open problem in Windows 7

I am having a little spot of trouble. I switched from Windows to Mac recently and got myselfa copy of Photoshop CS5. I used to run Photoshop CS4 on a 32bit Windows 7 build and it works swell. Not a hitch. I've since moved CS4 onto a 64bit Windows 7 build and... it crashes when I open an image. Any image I've tried opening causes CS4 to crash.
I wonder if any of you would have a solution. I guess the only other piece of information I can talk about is that there's a version of Photoshop Elements 8 already installed on the system but I don't know if that would conflict or not.

Since you're probably still familiar enough with Windows to do maintenance, it sounds like what you're running into may be a display driver problem with OpenGL on your system...
Try this as a workaround: Go into Photoshop, choose Edit - Preferences - Performance, and uncheck [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing, then restart Photoshop.
If this works around the problem, visit the web site of the maker of your video card and locate the display driver that matches your hardware and Windows 7 x64 OS. Download and install, then go back into Photoshop and reverse the above change (remembering to restart Photoshop after).
Good luck.

Quicktime file open problem: preventing a masterpiece debut movie!!!

Hi all,
I am trying to edit some video footage I shot with a Sony miniDV Camcorder some time back. Part of the reason I bought my first mac (20" iMac duo intel) was to be able to make a short movie from this footage which I could never do on my old, tired rubbish PC. Imagine my disappointment when I tried to open the files with iMovie and they didn't open, just got an error message.
The files are listed as XXXX.mpg and they have size (multiple GB each). Also I downloaded VLC and they play fine in that. But I really want to get them into the Apple movie making software. It appears, if they can't play in Quicktime, they can't be edited in iMovie.
Originally, I used a PC Software package called "Ulead Videostudio 8", to get the files off the camera and into mpg format. Thats the only other background I have....
Can anybody please help! (Its such great footage too, was a charity sponsored classic mini rally around Europe and ending up in Italy, called (surprisingly!) "The Italian Job".
BUT it was in 2004! Help me realise my dream of a fantastic 10minute movie to impress my friends and family!!!
Thanks, Chris

I originally got the film off the camera via Firewire using VideoStudio 8 (one of the few pieces of affordable software I could find on the PC that would read the Sony's file format). I then saved it into its current form using this software.A bit of information that was too important to leave out. In any case, the DV compression format is more or less the standard for editing at the "frame level" on a computer. Any of the usual Mac editors will capture your DV data from your camera via FireWire from within the application.
This of course, brings up another question. Do you still have the original tape? If so, then the best approach would be to re-import the data directly to editor. This would, of course, reduce the loos of quality associated with your previous conversion to the more "lossy" MPEG format, as well as, any additional loss in having to convert back to a "native editing" format and then on to your delivery/distribution format for the final product.
If you don't have the original tape, then you would have to go the conversion route to do any major amount of precision editing and this brings up a secondary question -- When you say "MPG" here, are you referring to MPG as MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files? Files produced on PC platforms often use MPG as a general extension for any MPEG-1/2 audio and/or video format combination. If the files are MPEG-1 A/V, then the MPEG-2 component is not required for MPEG Streamclip but your quality will have just taken another hit due to the conversion workflow.

Url file:// opening problem after version 29.0.1 update

We use Firefox as our default web browser, even to connect to our internal microsoft outlook web app webmail (microsoft exchange 2010 webmail).
Since the last update, we can't use in the body of mails smb url links anymore : (file://Path to our local SMB share/).
A new tab is opened, with the correct url, but nothing happens, the page stays blank.
The same in safe mode, tried too redefine a user.js or pref.js file, search the web, without success.
Any Idea ?
Thanx for your help

Yes, it's true: support for the user.js/prefs.js exception allowing access to file: URLs in http:/https: pages was removed in Firefox 29. Due to popular demand, it will be restored in Firefox 30. See:
* Earlier support thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/997237 No longer able to follow local file links]
* Documentation on the change and restoration: https://developer.mozilla.org/Firefox/Releases/29/Site_Compatibility#Security
If you can run Firefox Beta (future Firefox 30), you can check that, or consider running the ESR version of Firefox, which may be better suited to organizational use due to its slower roll-out of new features. See: http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/

How to open a File open In forms6i

hi ,
Forms 6i,oracle9i
I have a table like this
image(sid number,pics blob)
and in forms 6i i have a display item namely Filename and besides a small button is there , when the user presses the button then File open dialog should be displayed and the user should select the image file and that path should be copied into display item. then automatically the Image file should be reterived in pics( as my Image block is db block).
and when the user reterives the data, the existing images in the table should automatically come.
I have searched in the forum, but very much confused about the WEB util package.
IF possible send me the steps to configure the WEB UTIL for 6i or 9i or 10G.

Check GET_FILE_NAME Built-in for Forms6i (Client/Server)

Too many files open when parsing xml

HI,
I have an application which needs to parse about 13 XML files multiple times.After parsing the XML and creating a DOM I put in values to create an XML message which is then put onto a message queue.I am getting a 'Too many files open' problem.I have run the loop a maximum of 105 times after which i get the problem.However I will need to do this atleast more than 10000 times.Can someone suggest a solution to read the XML, create a DOM and populate the DOM without encountering the above mentioned problem.If I just parse the XML and store the 13 DOMs in a HashMap and use the same, the text values from the previous call get appended resulting in an invalid XML.To overcome this we parse the XML each time a message is to be sent.We also tried increasing the system memory as suggested at some sites but the solution was of no help.
Thanks & Regards

Don't know what this has to do with Web Start but you should make sure that, after parsing a file, the corresponding InputStream is properly closed.
