CS4 Can't Use Actions Scripts

Win XP Pro SP3. I run Batch Actions Scripts all the time to (i.e.) resize a group of images foir web, etc. Suddenly batch actions won't work. Trying to run the same script I've already run all morning (and in the past) I get a pop-up telling me that "Image Size Command is not available". None of the commands are available. Funny thing is I'm getting the same error message whern I try to run the same action in PS6. I've re-booted, tried creating new actions (in both versions).. nothing works. I even tried worling thru a new user ID log-in in XP.
Nothing works. Adobe won't help unless I pay the $39.
Help ???

There are several reasons that might happen.
Could you post a screenshot of one of the actions and also of
the batch dialog?

Using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

Thanks for your swift response.
That sounds like a good solution, but the code I have on frame 2 is this
timer = 0;
countup = function(){
timer++;
countupInterval = setInterval(countup,100);
If I added the same actionscript to frame 3 which has a dynamic textbox with a variable timer attached wouldn't it just put the timer back to 0? What I want is the last known value that was given when it was in frame 2.
I am thinking of temple run here, I am trying to caculate the total distance(set in the timer variable) from the previous try.
Hope this makes sense.

Item renderer using action script

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to use item renderers using actions script,
I have a data grid and iam using item renderer in mxml works fine but it is causing memory issues >
So i want to know to use item renderers in action script to avoid memory issue.
Thank You,
Anu

use the ClassFactory
example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:ComboBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" >
</mx:ComboBox >
and in ActionScript
private var myComboFac:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(MyCombo);
private function myFunction():void
    colCombo.itemRenderer = myComboFac;
and in DataGrid
<mx:DataGrid xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:columns>
        <mx:DataGridColumn id="colCombo" />
    </mx:columns>

Can you run Action Scripts with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8?

I have Photoshop Elements 5 and i cant find the 'Action' tab. Im considering buying Elements 8 but ONLY if i know for sure if i can use action scripts with it.
Message was edited by: Jochem van Dieten

Elements does not include Photoshop's Actions Palette function. You can get an add on for elements that will is able to Play some Photoshop Actions in Elements. Not all Photoshop Actions actions can be played for some action use Photoshop features that are not in Elements like Photoshop Scripting. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/8.0/Win/Using/WS961FF412-5006-4364-B315-1576 62B1F7E9.html

Increasing the speed for a certian frames in Flash Cs5 using Action Script 3

I have 60 frames I want to increase the fps value for frames from 20 to 30, and the remaining frames fps value should remain the same
Using Action Script 3 or Action Script 2
Thank you and regards

I have found a script online
Q: How can I speed the frame rate or slow it down when the movie is playing? For example, I would like to slow the frame rate from the default of 20 fps to 15 fps from frame #80 to frame #150. Then frame rate should speed back up to 20 fps after frame #151, (fps = frames per second).
A: One way is to use “interval”. An example of changing the speed of the movie from frame #80 to frame #150 is shown below.
Create a key frame at frame #80 and place this script:
var fps:Number = 80;
var intervalID:Number = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);
stop();
function advanceFrame() {
clearInterval(intervalID);
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+1);
if (_currentframe<151) {
intervalID = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);
} else {
play();
I have changed the values from 80 to 20 and currentframe value to 30
I get syntax error
at :
intervalID = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);
and
var intervalID:Number = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);

Hey thnx Ned.
this sites are really helpful.but,i have used sound through button.so how it is possible to attavh the link with slider.i have created slider also.
Below is my slider code for sound.
onClipEvent (load) {
    mySound1 = new Sound();
    mySound1.loadSound((myScale)+"/"+(myTanpura)+"/"+(myTanpuraSwar)+"/"+(myTanpuraTempo)+".w av", true);
    mySound1.onSoundComplete = function() {
    mySound1.start();
    mySound1.start(0.058,999);
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    downloaded = mySound1.getBytesLoaded();
    total = mySound1.getBytesTotal();
    if (downloaded != total) {
        _root.dl = "You have to buy this software...";
    } else {
        complete = 1;
        _root.dl = "";
    mySound1.setVolume(ratio * 2);
This code is working for slider.I mean it scrolls the slider.but it dosent make any effect to sound.
Below is my button code.
stop();
mySoundBtn4.onRelease = function () {
          mySoundC = new Sound(this);
          mySoundC.attachSound("mySoundClip4");
          mySoundC.start(0, 300); //10 represents the number of loops
          gotoAndPlay("play1");
this is on button's frame.not exactly on button.
Button and Slider both are on diffrent scene.
Can you plese help me out?

Help with Nav Bar using Action Script 3

I am a flash NOOB to say the least. Trying to teach myself. Thank God for YouTube! LOL! Anyway, I have build a Nav Bar for a site that has a sliding bar on the bottom of it that follows the mouse. The problem with this nav bar is that when you change pages inside the site, the slider resets back to position X/Y = 0 and you really don't know what page you are on for sure without me having to identify each page in the page body itself.
Does anyone know of a way using action script to have the URL of the page sent to flash and in turn use that URL to set the X and Y position of the slider to the appropriate X and Y of the button on the Nav Bar for the page the user is on?
I have heard of using flash.external.ExternalInterface but now for sure how this really works nor if I can assign it to a variable for reference inside the action script.
Any help would be appreciated greatly!!

The Flash Nav Bar is at the top of each page. But yes, when you click a button inside the flash nav bar it takes you away from your current page and loads a new one. I am trying to tell the swf file which page it is on so I can set the X and Y position of the slider.
You will have to excuse me if I am so noob that I loose any of your replies to this as just as Flash is new to me, so is the lingo.
Thank you for your help. I will research FlashVar but if you have any other ideas then I am open to them.

How to hide layers or movies using Action Script

Hi All,
I am using a few layers and would like to hide a specific
layer using action scripts - I guess I dont mind doing it as a
movie clip too (hiding the movide clip).
Also I am interested in controling the final *.swf via an
external command to hide that layer or movie clip. How do I do
that?
Thanks in advance,
Steven

rsagi: Layers are only layers while you are editing the fla.
When compiled, layers are merged. I think the best way would be to
use movieclips as containers and hide the "container movieclips".
jlucchesi: from fl8_as2lr.pdf:
"The alpha transparency value of the movie clip. Valid values
are 0 (fully transparent) to 100
(fully opaque). The default value is 100. Objects in a movie
clip with _alpha set to 0 are
active, even though they are invisible. For example, you can
still click a button in a movie clip
whose _alpha property is set to 0. To disable the button
completely, you can set the movie
clip's _visible property to false."

Can I use Apple Script to press a button?

Is there some way I can create an Apple Script to run and press a button in another application, or create a "plug-in" type script for the program to make the button into a something that can be used by a keyboard shortcut?
I ask because I have an application that I can use to operate my digital camera, however, the button that Auto-Focuses then Shoots a photo does not have a keyboard shortcut. This is a problem because I also have the App "Snatch" on my iPhone, and, long story, short, I discovered I could use Snatch on my laptop on an Ad-Hoc network from about 1,000 feet away, maybe more. If I could find a way of making the "AF and Shoot" button into a keyboard shortcut, or create a script that could be triggered by a keyboard shortcut to press the button, I could use Snatch to control my camera remotely, far better then any part I would by from Nikon, or a third-party (Trust me, I have used a lot of them, and this method beats them all, save for the fact that I can't use bulb.)
Anyway, thanks for any input, if any.

Even if an application is not scriptable, you can generally use [GUI Scripting|http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html] to press a button. For example, using Canon's RemoteCapture DC software, the script below will press the "Release" button of the main window:
tell application "RemoteCapture DC" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "RemoteCapture DC"
click button 4 of window "RemoteCapture DC"
end tell
end tell
If you then put the above script in the AppleScript menu in the menu bar, you should be able to use a third party application, like Quicksilver, to assign a keyboard shortcut to it.

Can I use action link based on hierarchical column?

Hi all,
I used OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2.
And I want to know can I use action link based on hierarchical column? I want to show link based on some conditionally..
I try to add conditions, such as Department is equal to A, But after I added, it show me "Department is equal to", why?
Can anybody give me some hints?
Regards,
Anne

Hi Anne,
It should work. How did you add the action link? .Click on the + icon on the hierarchical column in criteria tab, this will list all the columns in the hierarchy.Each column will have its own column properties. Click on the Hierarchy level properties of Department column ->Interaction tab and define your conditional action link.

I am trying to reinstall Flash CS4 professional as the action script is not working but now I am getting an error: 2 message when I use the original CD to try and reinstall

I can't get the original disk to work on a reinstall. I get the message
AdobeColorCommonSetRGB
Error:
Error 2.
I teach a class using this program on Macintosh computers running 10.9.5 and the action script is not working. It will work on any program designed using the 10.8 but if you design any animation on 10.9.5 the action script will not work for the buttons

You would have to manually delete the color profiles in question... Run the cleaner tool and see if it gets you started.

Can FC put action script in a 'code behind'.

Once of the practices I do in FB3 is to move all my action script into 'code behind' files instead of having all the code in the mxml files. Does FC have the option to do that (as part of the gen process) and if not, does anyone else who 'codes' instead of 'designs' feel that is a benefit? I know I'd prefer it to be in a 'separate' as3 file. Also, if I DO move the code into code behinds (I've not tried it yet), does FC have any issues reading the code behind? I'll be trying that on a 'simple' project to be sure but figured I'd ask just in case anyone else wants to know...

The two references cited helped answer questions about Adobe's overall philosophy and approach that came up as I worked a simple example down the design/development stack of tools from Illustrator (AI) to Catalyst (FC) to Flash Builder 4 (FB).
Other questions that arose were:
Each application (AI, FC, FB) contains tools for design with some degree of overlap.
Will FC eventually include from AI (or Photoshop, InDesign, etc.) and the FB design view all functionality needed for interactive storyboarding and skin generation?
Is it the intent for FC to become the designer's tool and FB the developer's tool, at least for application design?
The diagram in the Gumbo skinning spec shows that base components and their subclasses are typically implemented in AS and skins in MXML and recommends this as the preferred design pattern. Yet when I converted one of my groups (essentially a form) to a customized component, and exported the project into FB, I noticed that FC had generated a single mxml file (CustomComponent1 ...) and not a pair of files (an X.as file for the base component and an X.mxml file for the skins).
For several reasons, wouldn't you want to generate separate files as depicted in the Gumbo diagram as a starting point for code customization?
How does one develop custom components in FB (or using AI+FC+FB) and package them as a library so that they can be dropped into FC and used in the way that the current set of 5 components (button, hscrollbar, vscrollbar, text input and data list) are used?
How will I integrate my hand-coded dynamic components for data visualization alongside more generic and static app components on an RIA page?
How would I use AI+FC to design liquid layouts where children at each level often utilize constraints (i.e. top, bottom, left, right) between parent and child?
For agile methodologies, how will refactoring the interaction or software design work in this new world where interaction designers are trying to maintain full control over appearance and interactive behavior?
Finally, I would like to know what tools and steps Ely used to develop the component shown in the video. It would be instructive to turn that into a tutorial that we could walk through, step by step, in slow motion
While I understand the arguments for separation of design and development as a workflow methodology, those of us with development and HCI/visualization backgrounds building research prototypes would like to see integration of the design and development tools (from the perspective of the workflow, not the architecture and code).
As Jordan said, the direction you are heading is inspiring. Keep up the good work.
