Deleting unused Library items is incomplete

I began with a file A, and saved as B,C, D, to work on it in
chunks. The Library for each file is hanging on to unused Library
items. If I "select unused" Library items, Captivate does grab
some, but it leaves behind hundreds. For example, a file with 15
slides started with 800 Library items. 'Select Unused' located
about 200, and I was left with 600. Any given Library item (except
one of the 15 actually used) would show that it is indeed
unused.

that sounds weird - i personally have never seen that before.
Not sure how to advise here. perhaps
reinstalling flash?

Delete Unused LINE ITEM DIMENSION Entries

Hi,
I'm using RSDRD_DIM_REMOVE_UNUSED to remove unused items in the dimesions of a cube. However several of these dimensions are line item dimensions. RSDRD_DIM_REMOVE_UNUSED skips these diemensions. My questions are. Does someone know why? Secondly is there a way to control the size of this dimension?
Thx Rolf

Hi,
A line item dimension does not exist in the database. So the report can not delete the unused entries as there are none.
Explanations :when you have a single characteristic in a dimension of a cube, this is not worth to generate the Dimension IDs. This would be a copy of the indexes of the master data called SIDs.
By ticking the box Line Item Dimension, you precise that the indexes for the fact table will not be those generated in the dimension, but those from the master data. This is the reason why we do have indexes for master data.
To control the size of your dimensions, there is this report : SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS

Deleting Library items

Is there a way of individualy deleting default Library items in Encore CS3? (those installed as additional content)

Deleting Library Items with Action Script

Is it possible to delete the library items at runtime?
I am loading b.swf in a.swf. After some time b.swf unloads and c.swf is loaded inside a.swf. Though the b.swf unloads but the library items of b.swf remain there and conflict with the library items of c.swf. c.swf has some items with the same name as in b.swf. c.swf shows the movieclips from the library of b.swf with similar name.
I think the best way would have been to load these assets externally instead of keeping them in the library if we want to destroy them at runtime. But, we have a large number of already constructed files. Ability to destroy the library items at runtime will also help maintain memory usage in limits.

If you have swf files in your library, that is not a good way to implement a design. You should load all swf content dynamically at run time. You cannot delete anything compiled into the file, such as library objects, as far as I know.

Duplicate Library Items?

Hello. I am VERY new to Flash, although I'm doing quite well on the project I'm having to learn it for. So far I have been able to figure out what I need. I have found a very nice tutorial site, but the gentlemen's videos are 20 minutes long (at least), and they are excellent, however I don't have time to go through all kinds tutorials. I do do them when I can, but the projects I undertake need to be published with expediency and I just don't have time to go through step by step. I've always been a "learn by doing" person, anyway.
My question is: (sorry if it's basic)
When I open the library, I went through and deleted some of the components that were mistakes. I am using a GIF that was converted to a SWF in one layer, and I noticed that in the library there are duplicate frames of this item. One group are bitmaps and the others just say "graphic". They are exact duplicates of each other except that the "graphic" items all have the little edit button on them (the little "bullet-like" circle). When I imported my SWF, I did have to edit each frame to make it appear and fit on the screen the way I wanted it to. Are these graphics the edited versions of what I've done? I don't want to delete them if they're referenced to the original frame. Obviously, I want to discard any unused library items so I can keep my file size down, but I don't want to delete them if they're supposed to be there (cuz I really don't want to have to do all that editing again if I mess it up). Or are they extras from perhaps I duplicated them accidentally somehow?
Thanks for the help!
~Jessica

In the upper right corner of the Library window there is a contextual menu button. That will open a menu. In that menu, near the bottom are two options for showing the usage of each item in the Library. This will help you to know what is used in the timeline.
Those graphics objects are the representation of the bitmaps that were imported. You use the graphic. The graphic uses the bitmap. Don't delete either one. The size of the .fla file has no bearing on the size of the .swf file that you create. The .swf will only contain and use the items from the Library that it actually needs.
Cleaning up your Library is a good practice, but you don't need to obsess over it.

How can I "search" for Library Items?

I am developing a site in flash and have over 800 Library Items. My problem is, I need to edit a portion of a Library Item and cannot find the Library Item, and NO, I did not delete the Library Item because when I go to preview or test the flash document, the Library Item is there in the movie. Is there any way to search for the Library Item? I am using Flash Professional 8..
Thank you.

I'm not sure how you would search for it if you don't know how to identify it. You should be able to doubleclick on the object on the stage to open it up for editing. When you do that, the stage area will display the library name of the object at the top of the stage border in a tab. Things are ordered alphabetically in the library, so if you know the library name of the object you should be able to narrow down where it is.

Deleting Unused Swatches

Because I'm unable to invoke the "Select All Unused" menu item of the Swatches panel menu I'm trying to attack it programmatically.
What I'm trying to determine is if it's sufficient to compare the Fill and Stroke Color of each Path Item (every path item of current document) or are there other items that should be examined to achieve the same results as the command in the Swatches panel menu? Page Items doesn't appear to contain a Fill Color property. I've got AppleScript code that appears to do the trick, but I'd like to get input so as to make sure I'm not missing something that my testing might not have uncovered.
Thanks!
Stephan

Another method might be to remove the extra swatches from the startup files (or New Document Profiles as they are now known) So there are fewer unused swatches to deal with. Relatively few people take the time to modify the action sets aside from adding new ones. Here's how the Delete Unused Panel Items looks in the Default _Actions.aia file

Can't delete multiple selected items in List or Library

I am experiencing quirky behavior when attempting to delete multiple selected items from a library or list. I select a few items via check box for each item I would like to delete. Then I click the delete button in the ribbon, and all I get is "Deleting...",
but no page refresh and the items are not deleted. However if I access the same list or library via the App server and select a few items, then hit delete, the page refreshes and the items are deleted.
So I consulted the Logs and compared the Web Server vs App Server, and the there is a lot of cryptic entries. The few lines that stands out most to me is the App server is:
ConnectionString: 'Data Source=database;Initial Catalog=Content;Integrated Security=True;Enlist=False;Asynchronous Processing=False;Connect Timeout=15'
ConnectionState: Closed ConnectionTimeout: 15
In fireItemEvent(), for list Building Locations, and item: 1
In fireSyncItemEvent(), calling ExecuteItemEventReceivers()

These calls are not in the web server log.
The list I was doing the delete action on was "Building Locations". We are using claims based authentication
Thanks for any insight or thoughts.

I confirmed that there is no rewrite tags in either web config (app or web).
I did download fiddler, and when I try and delete on the web front end I get:
It tries to access the URL https://mysite/_layouts/_vti_bin/client.svc/processQuery
Then it sends me here since I have been denied
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href="https://mysite/_layouts/AccessDenied.aspx">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
The app server goes to
http://mysite/_layouts/_vti_bin/client.svc/processQuery doesn't get denied and deletes the items.

Delete Library Items

Is there a way of deleting individual default library items in Encore Cs3 (additional content)

Yes, select the item in the list, and then click the trash can button at the bottom of the Library panel.

Don't understand 'Delete unused media from duplicated items'

Can anyone help with this?
I have a large project spanned across 2 drives and want to tidy it all up to a third drive. Using Media Manager (with no specific sequences selected) it says the project size is 350Gb. If I check the 'Delete unused media from duplicated items' box it reduces to 267GB.
Given that I'm not selecting a particular sequence edit I assume it is aimaing to manage all files. So what is the variation of 84GB. If I opt for the 267GB, what is in the 84GB that I'm about to loose. I haven't duplicated anything so unsure what I'll be losing?

You won't lose anything if you copy the project with Media Manager. Test the copy afterwards to make sure it is exactly what it should be. Once you are happy with it, the original can be deleted.
You can make the copy even smaller if you exclude render files. It will have to be re-rendered only if you have to revisit the project at some point. Use the space saved for something else until it is really needed.

Deleting unused footage in the Event library?

I always make an edit of my videos and therefore end up with a fair amount of footage in each event which is not needed any more.
Is there a way of deleting unused footage from a specific project from it's event?

Use the Reject Tool to drag with your mouse over the frames you don't need. They will be marked with a red bar underneath. If you want to reject a whole clip, you can right-click and reject the clip that way too.
Then, select "Rejected Clips Only" in the selection box at the bottom.
Finally, click "move rejected clips to trash".

Sort library items on name only ?

Hi all,
Probably I am overlooking something. I would like to sort library items (in particular photos from iPhoto) in date sequence, but the only column displayed is the image name and only that column can be sorted. Problem is, that Motion 5 "automatically" sorts the photo's alphabetically if one of the two icons on the bottom right (list or thumbnail display) is clicked. Once sorted alphabetically, there seems to be no way to re-sort the photo's as they were: date sequence. The only way I have found to do this is
Go to thumbnail display mode
Quit Motion
Start Motion
Don't touch the list/thumbnail icons anymore
This is very annoying, because other elements from the library, such as behaviours, are easier shown in list format.
As said, there must be a way to sort photos in date sequence, but I ccannot find how.
Any help is welcome. Thanks

Ok... well... it's actually "in there" but not like you think, and not really very intuitive.
Go to the "Project Pane" (layers list, etc...) and at the top of the column, select the Media tab.
Go to your photos library and select the "theme" (subgroup) your images are in. Thumbnails or list view, doesn't matter — select the pane the images are in and type Command - A (select all).
Drag ALL the photos into the Media pane (they are NOT added to the layers list.)
Right click on any of the column headers (Preview or Name is good) and from the dropdown, select Sort By > File Created (or Modified).
Select the image you need and drag it onto the canvas (it will be added to the layers list.)
I will grant you it's a little strange... Also, BE CAREFUL!!!! Whatever you do, you DO NOT want Motion to Save Unused Media with the project!!!! Make sure that option is unchecked. Or, command or shift select all unused images in the Media tab and delete them before saving.

How to use a Spry Menu as a Library item?

Okay, this is my second post; but, with a different title.
I made a Spry menu for my Home Page. I saved it and a logo
together as a library item and placed the library item on a second
page. The links in the menu work when there is no style sheet
attached for the Spry meny and the menu appears just as text; but,
as soon as the .css style sheet for the menu is attached to the
second page, the menu appears correct except the drop down menus do
not work. I tried adding a link to the Spry Java Script file as it
is on the home page; still no luck.
I tried the same with a test file, which I have since
removed, stored at the same folder as the home page; same problem.
How are we suposed to make a workable library item with a
Spry Menu? Surely this is possible, no?
Here are the two pages I am referring to:
Good Page:
http://iculver.com/
Bad Page:
http://iculver.com/pages/AboutUs/Personal_info.html

Apologies - my mistake. You are correct, and my instructions
were
incomplete. That other bit is required too.

The comments 'hide' the scripting from validators and older
browsers, but
it's still recognized as javascript, since the comments occur
INSIDE a
<script> tag.
> these Spry Menus in Libraries easier to use...)
It's not so hard once you get all the pieces together.
1. Create the library item as described.
2. Make sure that each page that is to carry this library
item has the
required links in the head (to the CSS and the js files), AND
in the body.
Why not use a template instead? That way, all of these links
are managed
for you.

DW won't let me change a library item "change will be discarded"

I built a site and I have library items for my logo and
navigation and some thumbnails. I want to use a different file/lbi
file for my header. When I delete the current library item and try
to put a new one in, I get this message: "making this change would
require changing code that is locked by a template or translator.
The change will be discarded." I honestly don't know what to do; I
really need to specify a different file for my header but it won't
let me, and I have over 100 pages and I made all thumbnails,
rollovers, and all links manually and the file that it's using
isn't working right. I just want to put the correct one in there; I
don't know how I can possibly build my site completely from scratch
- what can I do?
This is a related issue, but I'm not sure how: I have two
library items named the same thing in two different folders; some
files refer to one, some to the other, but I want them all to refer
to the correct one; I can't make change since I get that error
message. I'm confused about which file is which, I'd deleted one
before, then restored it...thank you so much for any help. I'm
trying to build my portfolio site for an art exhibition...

Happily. One of the pages of the site I'm having problems
with is
http://www.hopeedwards.com/TEST_new_website/Hope_website/assorted_art.htm
I also attached code for it. [note: the home/index page only
works in Firefox but the other tabs work in IE and Safari. Also,
everything is shoved down wrong in IE and it only looks right in
Firefox] I am running Adobe CS3 on an Intel based Mac Pro with
Tiger OSX 10.4. I'm having trouble with a couple library items. The
very top library item is logo_and_navigation.lbi - all was okay
with it except I somehow had a couple different copies of it in my
Library folder, so I moved one of them to a folder within the site
called "Trashes". Then I deleted that one because I didn't want two
copies and the logo and nav disappeared on some pages that used
that one. I reinstated it in the trashes folder. The pages that use
that located in the Trashes folder are the index, Assorted Art, and
Commercial Work. The ones that use the one in the Library folder
are Clue Series and About & Contact.
I would like them all to use just one file so I only have to
edit one file if I make changes. I've tried several things: I've
tried selecting and deleting the item in the documents and
inserting the proper copy. It won't let me. I get the message
"making this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or translator. The change will be discarded." I've tried
doing a Find and Replace and replacing the word Trashes with
Library to specify the correct folder info but that doesn't work,
probably because it can't change code in the library item.
I had a similar problem with the thumbnails library items
when I tried to build my other pages doing a File Save As from the
first one I built in Assorted Art. When I tried to create a
Commercial Work page from it, I deleted the thumbnails library item
because it was the Assorted Art thumbnails. When I tried to insert
the Commercial Work thumbnails library item I got that error
message. It was so frustrating; I had to go in and build the
Commercial Work page from scratch. I had to do that with each
different tab. It just doesn't seem right that you can't swap out
library items.
Anyway, I'd completely appreciate any help or feedback! I
really would!
