Creating links to other topics very slow

Hi, I have RH 7 and when creating links from one topic to
another it takes a long time for the dialog boxes to appear. I have
about 10 links per topic and at three minutes per link, that's a
lot of time. Thanks, Becky

I'm having the same, or a similar, problem. I'm trying to
insert lots (more than a thousand) of help jumps into a Word 2007
document and it's taking a minute or so per topic. I'm running on a
laptop with an electronic disk. I don't see any CPD files to
delete. I tried dragging a help topic from my project window to the
Word document, but that didn't seem to do anything. Something I
thought would work, but whch didn't, was to create the links as
Word 2007 links (which is fast), then do a conversion and convert
links to help jumps. I still haven't figured out why that didn't
work. If there are any other suggestions, that would be
appreciated.

Can you please confirm that you want to link to Word files and where these files are? Also if they are external to your RH project, where they reside. The answrs to these questions will help us help you.

How can I create links to other pages in iBooks that will function in PDF?

Hi,
I know some people have asked previously how to create links to other pages of their book within iBooks. I having an issue with this myself that I haven't been able to resolve. I am able to create the links, and they seem to function within the program, however, once I export the document as a PDF file (the format in which I need to have this ebook!), the links seem to be non-functional. Does anybody have a fix for this?
Thank you so much for any suggestions you may have!! I really need to figure this out for my client.
Regards,
Meggyn

Exporting as a PDF does alter/lose/remove certain functions. Adobe Acrobat has its own page navigation system.
A lot of the hidden engine of iBooks Author is basically very similar to building a website! so links and books marks are an "internal" function.
IF you have Acrobat and not just the Adobe Reader, you can make links. I have never needed to try, but I see a working link related index in the many software manuals I have.

How to create links to other pages i create??

I have finished my "homepage" and it has 5 buttons on it.("home",
"Contact us", etc.).
I have no idea how to create links to other pages i create.
For example, if the user clicks on "Contact us", i wnat contact information
to appear. So, do i create another html document that will contain contact
information and then call that page whenever the user clicks "Contact us". Or
do i just create another applet that contains contact information and display
the applet in the appropriate area, whenever the user clicks "contact us".
Hope that wasnt confusing. Bascially, I am sitting here looking at my buttons, not knowing
what code to put under the actionPerfomed part of each button.
thanx
trin

... judging from your question... the best way i think is to create another page...
.... so when ur user clicks on Contact Us..... he/she will be taken to another page...
there are other techniques besides this.... but it is always better to stick with the easiest one
... so you need to create separate pages for all of your links....
... if you have any questions... let me know
.... have fun

Creating ImageIcon from Image is very slow

Hi I have a program which reads a number of files which may contain (amongst other things) image data in various formats such as JPG.I read scale this down into an image object fine, and then I want to display a small version of it on screen so I put the scale dimage into an ImageIcon which i display later using a JLabel.
Anyway it runs very slow , the funny thing is using JProbe Ive tracked the problem down to creation of the ImageIcon constructor, the actual thumbnail image creation is very quick.
Why does ImageIcon take so long or is there a simple way of displaying the image in a Swing Application
without using JLabel.
BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(new DataInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(imageData)));
Image thumbnaiImage = image.getScaledInstance(20,20Image.SCALE_FAST);
ImageIcon thumbnail     = new ImageIcon(thumbnailImage);

If you're not too picky about the image quality (and I see you're using SCALE_FAST), you can set the
source subsampling on your ImageReadParam so that you never construct the large image: you start
with the thumbnail.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class AllThumbs {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        String prefix = "http://www3.us.porsche.com/english/usa/carreragt/modelinformation/experience/desktop/bilder/icon";
        String suffix = "_800x600.jpg";
        JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,3));
        for(int i=1; i<9; ++i) {
            try {
                p.add(getThumb(new URL(prefix + i + suffix), 200, 150));
            } catch (IOException e) {
                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        JFrame f = new JFrame("AllThumbs");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.getContentPane().add(p);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
    public static JLabel getThumb(URL url, int maxWidth, int maxHeight) throws IOException {
        String suffix = getSuffix(url);
        Iterator readers = ImageIO.getImageReadersBySuffix(suffix);
        if (!readers.hasNext())
            throw new IOException("No reader for suffix " + suffix);
        ImageReader reader = (ImageReader) readers.next();
        reader.setInput(ImageIO.createImageInputStream(url.openStream()), true, true);
        int w = reader.getWidth(0), h = reader.getHeight(0);
        int subsampling = Math.max(1, Math.max(w/maxWidth, h/maxHeight));
        ImageReadParam param = reader.getDefaultReadParam();
        param.setSourceSubsampling(subsampling, subsampling, 0, 0);
        BufferedImage image = reader.read(0, param);
        String path = url.getPath();
        String text = path.substring(1+path.lastIndexOf('/'));
        JLabel label = new JLabel(text, new ImageIcon(image), SwingConstants.CENTER);
        label.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
        label.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);
        label.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5,5,5,5));
        return label;
    public static String getSuffix(URL url) throws IOException {
        String path = url.getPath();
        int dot = path.lastIndexOf('.');
        if (dot == -1)
            throw new IOException("No . in " + path);
        return path.substring(1+dot);
}It is also possible for there to be thumbnail images stored in an image file. (These thumbnails
don't even have to be related to the main image.) ImageIO has methods to read these directly,
so if you have control over your image files you can create them with thumbnails in place.

Create links to other Pages documents

I am a singer and have been using a binder with all my lyrics in it for shows. I got an iPad for my birthday and want to use it in the binder's place. With each show the set list changes and I'd like to be able to create a setlist document in Pages with links to other Pages documents with the corresponding lyrics. The lyrics documents would be static; the setlist document would always be changing. The links in the setlist document would be like hyperlinks of sorts, except instead of taking you to the web, they would take you to other Pages documents in the My Documents folder in Pages.
I've searched all over the place for a solution. I've even tried using spotlight to search for the lyrics documents as a workaround, but spotlight doesn't find the Pages documents. Is this something I can set up on my MacBook and then transfer to my iPad? Is there other software besides Pages that can do this?
Thank you in advance!

I think it would be much simpler to save your lyrics as pdfs and use one of the many dedicated music apps that allow you to create setlists. I use forScore (love it!), but you might also check out Unreal Book and Music Reader.
If you have a Mac, of course it's a cinch to print any file to PDF. For windows, possibly the free version of CutePDF would work for you.
EDIT I see you already have these printed out in binders. Just scan to PDF, then.

How to create links to other solutions using C# MVC?

I am creating a project with multiple solutions. I used MVC Framework. I have a problem on creating a link for other solutions I added in the project. I'd like to include each solution to be executed in each tab that when I click one tab one solution
will open. Is it possible? If possible, how can i create a link to access and execute other solutions?

WiFi card makes initiating a connection on other cards very slow.

Hi All -
Java 5
Windows XP, 2000, and Adv. Server
We do programming for multiple closed networks, so my development box has 4 NICs, each going to a different isolated network (each has its own subnet).
All was well until recently we had some WiFi cards installed in our machines. Now initiating a socket connection on any NIC that is not on the same subnet as the default gateway takes a long time - about 30 seconds, but it can vary. Once the connection is made, its just as fast as ever, but creating the connection takes a lot of time.
The strange part is this: it doesn't matter if the Wifi card is even in use at all during the transaction, merely having it enabled as a card causes the problem. I have tried modifying my routing tables so that the only option is the correct one just to see if that makes a different - and it doesn't.
This problem is reproducible on Windows XP, 2000, 2003 server, on at least 5 completely different computers, and in Virtural PC. The only thing they all have in common is the same D-Link WiFi cards.
Take this example:
NIC 1: 192.168.1.x -> default gateway is a 192 address, this is the card that connects to the internet. All connections are fine using this card.
NIC 2: 10.30.100.x -> Wifi card. This card is enabled but not being used for this transaction at all.
NIC 3: 128.0.0.x -> Normal card, any attempt to open a socket with the Wifi card enabled takes a long time.
NIC 4: 10.10.10.x -> Normal card, again, the Wifi card being enabled will slow down the opening of a socket.
This configuration is merely an example, I have tried changing which card services which subnet, what cards are enabled or disabled, more cards, less cards, multiple IPs per card, single IPs per card - nothing makes any difference either way except for enabling the Wifi card slows it down and disabling it solves the problem.
I've also disabled 'Wireless zero configuration' on advice from another network programmer - makes no difference either way. I've also tried binding to various specific local IPs, tried different servers to connect to (and different types of servers). and tried pretty much every constructor available for Socket. This did not change anything.
Anyone else experience this? Any more information I could provide to help solve the problem?
Thanks!
Jason

edex67,
I'm new to wifi so the info you sent, i.e.; inSSIDer, is something I didn't know about. So thankX for that. Interference not part of the problem. I did change channels from 11 to 5 as some of the neighbors are on 11 and 6. That didn't help. 5 Ghz change doesn't help either. Have reset to factory specs twice along with deleting my first network and beginning from scratch. Still didn't speed things up. ISP isn't a problem either. Separate diagnostics shows download speeds great. I've even restored my computer to a previous date when the Airport Express was screaming downloads. The slowdown happened yesterday as I was trying to set up my old computer; changed motherboards and can't access the internet, needed to find drivers on line and somehow in the process Airport slowed to a crawl. Must have changed something and can't get back to the speed of yesterday morning. Have been working on this since 8 AM. Did I mention that I hate Microsoft?
So, even restoring factory specs and installing from scratch doesn't get me back to speed.

Creating Links for other Web pages within Flash C23

Hello Everyone,
First of all, I'm sure you're tired of answering the
questions regarding "Links". Although, I'm having a very
difficult time with this issue. I just purchased Flash C23,
taken all the tutorials from www.lynda.com, but
I do not find answers for linking one web page to another
within Flash C23. I have read all the answers
on this forum and still can not get my buttons to link up to
my other web pages.
I have figured out how to create the buttons, although, I'm
not doing something right when I try to link up my web
pages. You have to realize I'm coming from Adobe Golive (no
need for codes or scripts). I do not want to stop
using Flash... Can someone help?
Thank you so much, it's appreciated.

replace 'siteName' with whatever you use to target your site
in a browser. 'FranchelleDesigns' is what you named your page in
GoLive.
function loadPage(event:MouseEvent):void{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.siteName.com/FranchelleDesigns.html");
navigateToURL(myURL,"_blank");
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPage);
EX: my website is
http://www.damonedwards.net
lets say I create some HTML page that I want to link to, and I save
it as, ContactMe.html... this is what I would use in flash to link
to it
function loadPage(event:MouseEvent):void{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.damonedwards.net/ContactMe.html");
navigateToURL(myURL,"_blank");
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPage);

Find Text and create link to other PDF

Hi all,
I need to know if the following is possible with either Javascript or VBA..
- Open a PDF
- Find all text that starts by a specific set of character (let's say in this case '1M-')
- For each text found, Select the entire word (not just 1M-) and..
-Highlight it or change its color
- create a link to an other PDF. (the other PDF will have the name of the selected text).
- Save the PDF and close it.
I already started using VBA, but I'm not a 'expert' programmer.
Thanks
Marc

Would it be possible only with VB/VBA ?
Just so I get this straight. When it's Javascript.. is it internal to a PDF file or it could be Javascript in a HTML page ?
If it's in the HTML page only, can I do everything in Javascript ?
I'm sorry for those question but I'm really not a pro in programming.. I'm more on the mechanical side and just want to help my company to get a better product .
Thanks

Create link to help topic from Flash file

We have started using Flash to develop our online learning
modules. So far they have been stand alone modules accessed from an
internal web site, published as .EXEs. Our latest Flash module is
related to a system for which we have an HTML help file. We'd like
to embed the Flash module in the help file b/c we want a link in
the Flash module to open a specific help topic.
I can get individual .SWFs into the help file but these Flash
modules are more complex, using many .SWFs for navigation, the TOC,
the frame, and for each interaction. In other words, the main .SWF
(or .EXE) calls many other .SWFs as the user navigates through the
module.
If I can't get the Flash module into the help file, and I can
only link to it as an external file, can a link from within a .SWF
in the Flash module open a specific help topic in the .CHM?
Any other ideas?
Thanks for your help,
SueM2

no it doesn't. getURL() causes no security issues unless you
try to open the html locally and (try to) access something on the
internet.
unless your "flash site" is your local computer there is no
security issue. if your local computer is an internet server, you
just need to set the security settings for your local file and give
it permission to access the internet zone.

External drive refuses to work and the other is very slow

I was not sure if I should put this in Lion or macbook pro section since thats what I am trying on (mid 2010) version.
Hi,
I purchased maybe 4-6 months ago a Toshiba E05A100SBU3EW_C STOR.E ART 4 1TB USB 3.0 2.5 inch Hard Drive - Black from amazon and one day it just suddenly stopped working and I was wondering if any one knew how to get it working again on my mac or windows machine, please as it has a lot of important data
it is this hard drive: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004NE76KQ/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
it makes no sounds or noises on my mac but when I plug it into my windows machine it does make a noise but then there is nothing in my computer and it will not recognise the device at all
Toshiba E05A100SBU3EW_C STOR.E ART 4 1TB USB 3.0 2.5 inch Hard Drive - Black
warranty is valid but I really hope I can save the files
I am getting a message from my macbook pro saying that its disconnecting it due to too much power or not enough, why would it say this and how can I re enable the drive?
Also I have a second DW or is it WD I forget but it works but its just runing 10 times slower then normal and I cant figure out why as I never touched them they just one day started acting this way after I had my macs scren replaced one of the ports is 3.0..
do you think the guy could of swapped out the usb t a 2.0 one? but then why would my mac keep telling me that its ejecting the drive

Have you tried updating your software? The issue with the keys will either be a software issue or an issue with your hardware, if you're on the newest software try re-installing it. It's very simple to do using the desktop software, if this does not work it seems to be a hardware issue, meaning repair or replacement is needed.
Also, updating/re-installing your software should also resolve any slow/freezing issues and hopefully stop your dialling problem.
Hope this helps

Creating text boxes is causing VERY slow performance

i've read the threads about how slow indesign cc has been from last year. i would assume this issue had been fixed by now, so i just switched our
whole company over from cs5 to cc. we are a prinitng company that makes calendars with many text boxes, and indesign cc is about 1/2 as fast
as cs5 was in creating these from scratch. i've noticed the more text boxes, whether used or blank, causes it to slow even more. i can't do anything
without it lagging and pausing, which is not productive whatsoever.
is there any fix at all to this or is this ever going to be fixed? i have found no solution.
we have 32 gb ram and decently fast macs (not the newest but decent), but processing speed can't be the issue when it seems everyone is having these same problems. (we do not have retina dislplays, just normal samsung monitors)
we have tried saving new files out as the new cc version but that doesn't help.
try it for yourself. make an 8 1/2 X 11 document with 100 step and repeated text boxes. even left blank, the whole programs slows down.
i need help, or else i have no choice but to roll everyone back to cs5.

You did receive the file. You already replied to me about the issue. See below.
Since I have last spoken with you I did download os 10.7.5, and I will work with it today to see if it's any faster. Unfortunately as I predicted it "broke" 2 of our other powerpc applications that I absolutely have to have, so that's a whole other set of issues that this has caused me.
I will let you know if I still have the same performance issues. This is the last thing I can try because I cannot upgrade this mac to 10.8. If the performance isn't better I guess I'll just be forced to go back to CS5.

Hi Chris,
We are officially NOT supporting 10.6.8. The official supported platforms of Mac are 10.7 onwards.
I too would recommend that you upgrade as we haven't performed much testing on 10.6.8. It currently works but the outcome may not be nice as you are already facing.
Maybe you can try upgrading to 10.7 or 10.8, your mac may support these platforms and so does InDesign.
Thanks

Safari (and other browsers) very slow loading "content rich" web pages

Hi,
I'm a very "light" user of my mac, using it basically for surfing the web, uploading pictures and music, etc... and recently any web page that has a lot of content (examples are nfl.com, nba.com, nhl.com, mlb.com, united.com, continental.com) takes a very long time to load (most other web pages load normally). Safari (and Firefox as well) gets to the web page in an instant, but then sits there trying to load content (mostly high res pictures and ads I suppose), which sometimes takes minutes or just never fully downloads the content. I'm connected to the internet via ethernet (high speed cable modem from Time Warner), and they've already come out and verified that everything on their end is fine. I've followed the instructions posted on some of the other similar posts (emptying cache, deleting cookies, disenabling add on's, reseting safari, logging in as another user, etc..), and this has not helped. Since this problem is persistent with both browsers, I'm wondering if this may be an OS issue as opposed to a browser issue. If someone can walk me through a solution (keep in mind that I'm a novice), that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

HI and welcome....
Since this problem is persistent with both browsers, I'm wondering if this may be an OS issue as opposed to a browser issue
Could be.
Since the problems exist with multiple browsers, login to another user account on your Mac. Try Safari there. If you see the same behavior with Safari there, then follow the instructions here. You will need your install disc. The startup disk may need repairing. Even if Safari is ok in another account, it's still a good idea to check the startup disk. That way you can rule that out.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your startup disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free space.

Creating link to other Portlet's Header links

I would like to have a link, in a HTML Portlet or someplace, to the 'Customize' or delete ('x') on a portlet's header. This way the user can click my link directly instead of searching for the portlet and clicking the Customize link there.
I can do it by copying the shortcut for the Customize and pasting it into my HTML Portlet, but this will only work for me, because it has my IDs in the URL.
How can I find the link to use for the other Portlet's headers that any user can use?
Thanks,
Gary

The user identity is not included in the portlet customization URL (it comes from somewhere else). The approach you describe works just fine.
