Did the Help Files Change?

I have Flash 8 at work. But I was looking something up in the
AS3 LiveDocs online and noticed that every class entry now has a
little dropdown button to show/hide inherited properties, methods,
events.
I'm pretty sure this wasn't in the built in help files when I
started using AS3. I remember looking at the the MovieClip class
and that it only had, play(), stop() and the goto versions of
those. And thinking, "Not much you can do with a MovieClip if you
follow these help files!"
So first question, have those always been there and I just
missed them?
Next question, did those get added to help files with the
9.0.2 (or whatever) update?
Final question, how awesome and helpful will that be? (Okay
that is more of a statement!)

To my recollection, it's always been there since I've had
CS3. The AS2 version in the help files don't have that, but the AS3
version does :) Yea, I think its awesome, you can go right to
methods properties or even constructor in some cases.

Photo descriptions disappeared after update to iPhoto 11 and the help file won't load, BBOD, Photo descriptions disappeared after update to iPhoto 11 and the help file won't load, BBOD

Event titles remain, but why did the individual photo titles change into numbers after an upgrade to iPhoto 11?
Why does clicking the iPhoto Help button pop open a new window and promptly invoke the beach ball of death which remains even with iPhoto closed but stops when the App Store app is closed?

When you installed iPhoto 11 did you create a new library and import your old library into it? If so that was not the way to upgrade the library. The correct way is to just open your old library with the new iPhoto application and let the application upgrade the library.
If efforts to repair the corrupted library fail you may have to start over with a new library as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.

3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Origianls (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
The Help file issue might be corrected by running BatChmod on the iPhoto application with the settings shown in this screenshot.

Where are the help files

Hi I have Adobe Captivate 5.5. When I select Help >> Adobe Captivate Help, the Adobe Help application appears, but it simply goes to a web site at helpx.adobe.com. This site lists a manual for "Captivate 7". On the status bar of Adobe Help it says "local content updates available". Under the search field there are radio buttons for Search Location: "Online" and "Local", however the "Local" button is greyed out. All this suggests that, when I installed Captivate, the help files did not also install.
Is there some way that I can download and install the help files?
Failing that, is there a site where the documentation can found online?
I have the whole Education Suite and have similar problems with all the products in the bundle.

Hi,
Please find the Captivate 7 Help guide in PDF form here :
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/captivate_reference.pdf
You can save the same to your disk as well.
In addition to this, Please Launch the Adobe Help from your disk and Under General Tab : It would siplay you the pending download for available help content for all adobe applications:

Hope this helps.

Cannot navigate the Help file

I'm using SAP B1 8.82 PL04.
It seems that I changed something in my SAP folders and files.
The thing is that SAP help file doesn't work properly with F1 function key.
For the help file, the left menus are fine, but the right contents doesn't read.
The right panel reads, "Navigation to the webpage was canceled".
Does anyone have the solution?

Hi......
Please try to run Help Upgrader once again........

No visible cursor, and question about the help-file

Right now I am using a temporary computer, as mine is being re-formated.
When I opened Illustrator to change a text-line in a picture, there was no cursor when I clicked on a word. I could still make my change, but no blinking cursor to tell me where I was. Can somebody please tell me where that setting is? It feels like I am working blind...
I looked for this in the help-file, and while doing that (and not finding the answer), I wondered, as so many times before, how they thought at Adobe when they constructed the help-file as it is now... If I open the help-file in Illustrator, select that I want an answer for Illustrator (the icon to the right of the search-box) WHY do I get answers for InDesign, Bridge and other programs???? WHY not just for Illustrator? I am NOT interested in those programs right now, I want an answer for Illustrator. Please tell me there's a setting or something to fix this, because this drives me crazy each time I want help with something.

Thanks for your answer. For some strange reason the problem is now fixed... I checked the second box in Settings/General that says something like "use exact cursors", restarted the program and no change. Then I went for a coffee break and now it works
So how do I download the pdf help-file?

Error message when I try to open the "help" files.

When I try to open the help files in Elements Photoshop 10, I get the following error message in a pop up box. At the top, the box is labeled "Adobe AIR" The message: "Application descriptor could not be found for this application. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."
I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled both my Elements programs as well as adobe air, and have updated everything that I can think of and a few more things, and still get the same message. Since I am one who often uses help files, I'd appreciate any help with this.
Thank you.

Is the help file wrong, or is it me?

Ok, so I am working through the help files, and am working on
"Enhancing the Hello World application", and I keep getting an
error message:
"1119: Access of possibly undefined property keyCode through
a reference with static type flash.events:Event."
Which is apparently having trouble with the following line of
code:
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)
The code is verbatim from the help file. I have checked
through and seen that keyCode does exist. Any thoughts?

Reify32207,
> I keep getting an error message:
>
> "1119: Access of possibly undefined property keyCode

> a reference with static type flash.events:Event."
What you need, in this case, is an instance of the
KeyboardEvent class.
The Event class, alone, doesn't have a keyCode property, but
KeyboardEvent
(which extends Event) does.
> textIn.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,
keyPressed);
> function keyPressed(event:Event):void
That second line is the culprit. Should be this:
function keyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void

RoboHelp 9 HTML: Is it possible to create a project with just the help files?

I have the help files but not the project... and I am just wondering if I can somehow import those help files into RoboHelp?

Ok, this is shameless advertising, but here it goes anyway: Peter's way works perfect, but it will take a huge amount of time. You may also want to consider one of my recovery scripts that can recover a project in minutes: Recovery script | WvanWeelden.eu
In the interest of full disclosure: Please note that these scripts are commercial.

When I drag pdf files into iBooks Author, the background in the pdf file changes into the colour of my book (brown/beige)?

Hi,
when I drag a pdf file (when working in Preview) into iBooks Author, the background colour in the pdf file changes into the background colour of the book.
This happens not consistently, sometimes the background of the pdf file does not change (and stays white), sometimes it's like the text in the pdf file is 'lifted' of the file, and put on the page in iBooks Author (with a brown/beige background).
All the pdf files are scanned pdf's, nothing comes out of Pages, Word, Excel,...
Anybody?
Thanks a lot!
Wouter

I have the same question (posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25644741#25644741).
I believe this is because the PDFs have transparent backgrounds. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix it is to export the PDF as another file, such as an image file. Or perhaps convert it to Word and import it that way.

Please fix the Robohelp bug related to supporting underscores (_) in the help files (*.chm)

There are 10 module specific projects. Further map IDs are assigned in all the 10 module projects to have context sensitivity. These are merged into a single project to generate the entire help file. The output for the project is html help (.chm).
Initially, we generated the html help and integrated with the application. When tested (pressed F1) the correct topic is displayed but with the ToC for that module and not the entire help.
Solution: I followed the steps mentioned in the following thread that I came across on Adobe forum.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/240496#240496
But the solution didn’t work as expected, Further investigation showed that since the output file name had underscore (Module1_EN.chm to denote the language), the solution didn’t work. Hence I removed the ‘underscore (_)’ from the output file name and generated the output again. This time the solution worked.
Please refer below the steps for generating the output.
Steps:
Generated output (chm) for all the modules. I had to make sure that the output file name does not contain any ‘underscore (_)’ as this caused the problem when generated the help file.
In the main help project (which is an empty container), merged all the projects using Robohelp’s Merged Project functionality. While merging, I first created empty Book and then merged the project within that book.
For example, Book1 will contain Module1.chm, Book2 will contain Module2.chm and so on.
Added window definitions using Project Setup -> New Window. Also added reference to main ToC here by clicking Advanced Properties. (Table of Contents: Main.hhc)
Selected the above created window while generating the output (Single source layouts -> html help Layout -> Properties).
Generated the html output for the entire project (Main.chm).
Decompile the ‘Main.chm’ and extracted the ToC file ‘Main.hhc’.
For each module project, imported ‘Main.hhc’ as a Baggage File, created window definitions same as the Main project and with reference to ‘Main.hhc’.
Again generated html output for all the modules.
Tested CSH for the project. The correct topic displayed with the entire ToC.

You need to post a bug report to get Adobe's attention. This is a user to user forum. Please follow this link.
http://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38
Not sure but I believe it may be a bug in the Microsoft Help Compiler over which Adobe have no control. Microsoft last updated in 2004. Good luck!

HT201274 I am unable to restore my iPad. The help screen says to select my device but this is not shown "near the top of the iTunes screen" which is what the help file states

Help file is misleading. To restore, I have connected to my Macbook and stat-rted itunes. The screen per the help file does NOT appear on my Macbook itunes software

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
