Custom Video Timer event in iAd Producer

Hi,
We would like to know if iAd Producer automatically tracks how long a certain video plays when the creative has been served. If not, is it possible to create custom video timer in iAd Producer?
Thanks!

Determine Which Video is Playing in iAd Producer

Hi,
Can someone help me how to check what video is playing on my iAd creative? I'm working on a multi video creative banner and I would like to call an analytics code depending on which video is playing. I have a carousel object that controls which video to play. The thing is, the analytic tracking should be called when the video reaches 25%, 50% and 75% of its duration.
I'm finding ways to execute this through the CODE WINDOW and not within the Inspector or Action Lists panels.
Thanks!
Mark

The code window is where you would hook in your own calls. Otherwise, you could check the boxes in the Analytics window for the default events. Be sure that you've discussed getting this type of reporting with whomever is running your ad since video quartiles may not be part of the standard reporting roll-up.

Exporting Video for iAd Producer

I was wondering what to use to export video for use in iAd Producer. I have quicktime 7 and also premiere pro. I am trying to go by the specs that I get in iad blue prints, but I can't seem to find the correct way to make it work.
TIA!

The spec document attached to any downloaded iAd Blureprint project contains the requirements for video you'll include in iAd Producer projects. The settings you'll use to export to these requirements will vary based on the tools you're using but knowing the specs is the hard part.
Cheers,

Using a custom video player (skin) for Event Videos?

Hi
I'd like use something other than the 9 standard video skins that come with Captivate 6 (Halo, Clear and Corona). Is it possible to use a custom video player or at least a different skin for an Event video? And, if so, does anyone know where I could find a collection of custom skins (free or otherwise)?
Thanks
Paul

Well sure enough, that WPF MediaKit indeed uses D3DImage for the WPF interop. In fact he does things very similar to me except mostly he seems to use DirectShow whereas I'm 100% Media Foundation. Maybe should rethink that... If only DirectShow had H264
support in Windows 8. Stupid licensing issues. Anyway thanks again for that link.

Hello,
I am trying to create a widget in iAd Producer to add to my iBooks Author template featuring a youtube video.
I am able to create and save the widget but when I place it into iBooks Author template I get a large gray box with a small black box in the center (the video).
Is there a way to correct this?
How can I eliminate the outer frame?
Any other suggestions on adding a youtube video to iBooks Author?
Thank you.

How to create an "exit widget" button on iAd producer.

I am creating a widget for a children's book and would like to create a simple "exit button" (an X the reader can touch to close the widget). Thus far I have created the object, but i can't seem to find an an 'action' to associate with the "activated" event that will close the widget and return to the iBook. I realise that a widget can alternatively be closed with a two-finger gesture, but for simplicity in view of my target audience prefer to have the "exit button". Note: I am relatively new to iBooks Author, and totally new to iAd producer. Unfortunately I don't know how to script in Java or HTML yet, but am willing to learn. Can anyone please give me some pointers?

Thanks! The button didn't appear in the preview in iAd producer, so I didn't realize it was there. But I tried my widget in iBooks Author and the button is there. Thanks again!

Implementing Exception Handling Application Block in custom web parts, event receivers

hi,
I am currently implementing try {} catch(Exception expp) { throw expp;} to handle exceptions in my intranet appln.
I have several custom web parts, event receivers, few console applciations as timer jobs etc. If i want to implement a robust exception handling what should be the approach. by searching, i saw, ms patterns n practices provides the
appln blocks.
But I think[ pls correct me if i am wrong ] those appln blocks are meant for asp.net applns ONLY.
if not, anyone has implemented those appln blocks in SP development? if yes, can anyone provide one sample / link to implement Exception Handling in SP.
help is appreciated!

How to validate overtime (IT2005) with time event (IT2011)

dear gurus,
how can i validate overtime, so only overtime that occurs within time event (IT2011) which can be paid ?
example:
work schedule: 08.00 - 17.00
IT2011: 08.00 (P10 - clock in), 19.00 (P20 - clock out)
IT2005: 17.00 - 20.00
when run PT60, i want the system to calculate overtime from 17.00 - 19.00 (not 17.00 - 20.00).
how can i configure the system?
thank & regards,

Hi
There are multiple issues here ...
i.Why are you maintaining both IT2005 and IT2011 at the same time.OT calculation can be done through IT2011 solely...
ii.Anyway if you still want to write a rule yu can try as per the spec given below:
1. Generate a custom Time Type say 9999
2. Make a rule like OUTTPERTYP if P20 then SCOND=T IF otherwise SCOND=F IF.
3. If SCOND=T IF then write a rule saying that HRS=PEND
4.HRS-SWTE
5.ADDDB9999
6.ELSE SCOND=F IF VARSTP2005 (Entry exists if Y then check 9999..if 9999 is not ZERO then Kill the time types of P2005)
7.Otherwise Pass On...do nothing..

Sliders for iBook's widget built in iAd producer

I am attempting to build a widget that features sliders (general object) for iBooks in iAd producer. I added sliders in iAd Producer; have a minimum setting of 0.0, maximum of 10, and moving at increments of 0.5. I tested them in the preview funciton in iAd and the knobs on the sliders can be dragged up and down (at increments 0.5 becuase that is what I set it at), but when I export to a widget and drop it into an iBook and preview it, I lose the funciotnality of the knobs in the sliders. I can't drag the knobs back and forth anymore. Does anyone know why? Perhaps I missing an action...?

Works for me. Have you hooked in any code that may be causing a problem?
I dropped a slider and a label on a page then selected the slider and clicked the code button then selected to overrride the Did Change Value event handler and added the follwoing code:
this.onControlValueChange = function (event) {
          // Code here for the "Did Change Value" event.
    var label = this.viewController.outlets.label;
    label.text = this.value;
I can slide the knob and the label updates as expected. I did need to tap the widget before I could intereact with it in an iBook but otherwise it works the same for me in an iBook on the device as it does in preview.
Any other clues?

Drag and drop iAd Producer

hi everyone.
Anyone can help me with iAd Producer...
I'm doing widgets for iBooks
I want to do drag and drop objects, and add some effects as possible.
Anyone know how it works?
Thanks a lot!

A friend (who is more of a JS jockey than I) created a similar project. Here's how he did it.
For each draggable object, he added three event handlers:
Touched Down
Touch Dragged Inside
Touched Up Inside
These can be added by selecting the object and changing the Inspector's INTERACTION > Events brick > + {event} > Execute JavaScript, or by using the menu, Code > Object Events > {event} > Execute JavaScript.
His code looked something like this:
// Define CLOSE_X_MIN, CLOSE_X_MAX, CLOSE_Y_MIN and CLOSE_Y_MAX to be
// "close enough" to the target drop zone.
this.onViewTouchDragInside = function (event) {
var p = iAd.Point.fromEventInElement(event, this.layer.parentElement);
p.x -= this.startTouchPoint.x;
p.y -= this.startTouchPoint.y;
p.x += this.startPosition.x;
p.y += this.startPosition.y;
this.position = p;
this.onViewTouchUpInside = function (event) {
object_pos = this.position
window.theposition = object_pos;
var x = object_pos.x;
var y = object_pos.y;
if ((x >= CLOSE_X_MIN && x <= CLOSE_X_MAX) && (y >= CLOSE_Y_MIN && y <= CLOSE_Y_MAX)) {
    // close enough, right answer
    x = ((CLOSE_X_MAX + CLOSE_X_MIN) / 2);
    y = ((CLOSE_Y_MAX + CLOSE_Y_MIN) / 2);
    var p = new iAd.Point(x,y);
    this.position = p;
this.onViewTouchDown = function (event) {
var p = iAd.Point.fromEventInElement(event, this.layer.parentElement);
this.startPosition = this.position.copy();
this.startTouchPoint = p;

IAd Producer Switch Object

Hello All,
I'm attempting an iBook for my school, and I would like to add a widget to this book. In this widget I have an anatomical drawing, and I would like to use the switch object to toggle arrows on specific structures. I've been successful in getting the arrow to appear by setting the activated state of the switch to call an action whereby the arrow displays, however, there is no option for me to set the inactivated event, to "un-display" the arrow, on the object.
I need a bit of javascript to determine the state of the switch, so I can call the appropriate action list, but I have absolutely no idea how this is accomplished. I have zero experience with javascript.
any help is most appreciated.
best regards.

Hello,
Your best option would be to listen to the iAd.Switch onControlValueChange method and check the value of the on attribute to determine whether to show the arrows or not. Pseudocode follows, but you will need to tweak to suit the rest of the widget.
Include in JavaScript for the switch control (click the "Code" button at bottom of iAd Producer with switch selected):
this.onControlValueChange = function (event) {
    if (this.on) {
        this.viewController.showArrows();
    else {
        this.viewController.hideArrows();
What the show/hideArrows methods do are up to you. You could grab each of the arrows and change the visibility of the arrow.
Best of luck,
Josh

It is have to process IT2011 ?when have wrong time event records?

hi,
I use the report "RPTEUP10" upload the all time events records to SAP from time recording system, no matter it is multiple clock in or clock out(unconsciously,because someone think maybe the first time he not brush on, so he brush the card again,so there will be 2 time events records ); or maybe it is lost clock in or clock out records.
my question is : if I don't process those wrong records at 2011(because my customers don't want to correct those records,he hope just give the warning message ),
if the time evaluation can carry out to finish the end step?
now I test at my ides system ,and find I have to process the wrong records at 2011, otherwise the time
evaluation will not carry out, the system will give me error message .
for example:
one employee at start time 06:00, enter "clock in "twice ,
the first record is: 05:58:00 clock in;
the second record is 05:59:00 clock in
then I run the PT60(TM00),the system give me error message at "Call rule TD20"
"Error entry no. 20 No clock-out entry"
so I have to correct the time events at 2011.
I want to know if I no need to correct the time events at 2011 ,and the time evaluation can carry out to finish?
or if I can write some PCR to processed the TIP table ? such as insert or delete the time event at the TIP, so that the time evaluation can carry out and finish?
who can tell me how to solve this question?
thanks!
Olivia Yang

Hi Olivia,
Ok as per my understanding you want to have a waring generated when the TIP entries it means either the intime or outtime is missing then and at the same time the TIP entries should be generated automatically.
1st thing setting a warning yes we can control it.
Next Updating the TIP entries.
Ex: Assume XYZ employee has a shift of 8:00 to 18:00 now he forgets to swipe in so there will be just one entry that is 18:00 and the Time Evaluation will fail as intime cannot be detected.If we write a PCR which will update the intime as per his workshedule then there in no where that the infotype in PA30 will get updated IT2011.
And even if we ensure that Time Evaluation runs then there will be a mismatch between the results and infotype data.Please kindly explain this to your customer.
Thanks

Differences between Time ticket (CO11N) and Time Event (CO19)

Hi Guru
Could you please briefly explain differences in between Time ticket (CO11N) and Time Event (CO19) during Prd Ord confirmation?
I tried searching for relevant material but could not get any.
Please advise

Dear Lyonie,
In my understanding CO11N, is generally used to confirm the production execution at operation level or sub operation level or
normally for milestone operation confirmation.Automatic Goos movement can also be performed when this T Code is executed.
There is no track of exact setup start time,end time,execution start time and end time.
Using CO19,we can track the or post the exact or actual setup start time,setup end time,processing start time,end time for each
operation.
More related to Time Eevnt confirmation,
Time Event Confirmations
Every confirmed time event is assigned internally to a record type group:
Setup times are assigned to record type group 1.
Processing times are assigned to record type group 2.
Teardown times are assigned to record type group 3.
Each record type group can be assigned to one or more parameters in the standard value key for the work center (for example machine time). (See Customizing in Production ® Basic data ®Work center ® General data ® Standard value ® Define standard value key). The link between time event and parameter ensures that the calculated duration counts as an activity (for example, when calculating the actual costs of the operation.
The processing of an operation requires both machine time and labor time. The time event confirmation for the processing section of the operation can take effect on activity u2018machine timeu2019 and on u2018processing timeu2019, if you enter record type group u20182u2019 for the parameters u2018machineu2019 and u2018laboru2019 in the standard value key.
You can only confirm quantities when you confirm processing time events.
You can only confirm activities that cannot be assigned to a particular record type group (Set-up, processing, teardown) by using the time event u2018Variable activityu2019. The confirmed value is assigned to corresponding value in the standard value key parameters.

Check marks on custom run-time menus

Is there a simple way to add a check mark for currently selected item on custom run-time menus?
The only method I have found is to fire off of the "Shortcut Menu Activation?" event, grab the menu reference, and basically recreate the shortcut menu with the proper check marks based on boolean values. This method just seems ... cumbersome for something that should (in theory) be fairly common. I can't help but think there is a better solution.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Bown,
you can assign custom menus with the menu editor to your controls/VIs. They will be saved as rtm file.
Using the known tag names of such custom menus you can set the checkmark for your tags without rebuilding the menu on activation each time…
