Do same files in html widgets get shared in a book?

If there are multiple html widgets inserted in iBooks and use the same underlying js/css files do they get shared somehow when published or does each widget gets it own copy? We are worried about the size as we will have multiple html widgets using the same underlying files.

Each carries own afaik.
Sames aren't linked to one source inside the xml (you can dig into the book file to see if you like) - if they did and you deleted the main, they'd all go south...ouch.

Calling .jsx functions from .js files using HTML Widget

Hi there,
I'm using the HTML Widget in a panel to load an html file along with some javascript files. Is there a way to call .jsx Adobe functions from a .js file? I've successfully been able to call an alert() of a .jsx file from the html but have not been able to do anything further than that.
For example:
.js file:
var x = foo('bar');
alert(x);
.jsx file:
function foo(x) {
    alert('This works');
    var dir = $.fileName;
    alert('This doesn't work because of $.fileName');
    return 'Directory: ' + dir;}
So, ultimately I would like to have an HTML Widget in my panel, press a link that will call fiddle with the open document and layer, then return some values back to the HTML Widget's js file.
Thanks

To the client browser, JSP is just HTML. Adding JS makes it DHTML, which provides the kind of applet/web page interaction you were referring to in the first post. Note that the applet and JS are both being run 'client side', whereas the JSP is generated 'server side'.
A JSP environment can in some cases replace the JS (e.g. submit a form with values to the server, and use JSP to write the resulting applet page). This can be handy in the event that the end user does not have JS enabled, in that you can offer a 'pure HTML' solution. OTOH though, it is slower (requires a round trip to the server to do what the user asked for) and most users prefer the quicker 'click and see' philosophy of the Java/JS combo.
So, my advice to you is that JSP adds very little value, here.

HT201301 When I share a file, does my information get shared with anyone else?

I was making a ring tone from "Ringtone Maker App" and it said to locate it it would be under shared files in iTunes... Does that share files with anyone else?

No, shared files in the Apps pane in the iTunes app on your computer is how you transfer files/documents to and from 3rd party apps on your iPad.

What video format is supported when creating a HTML widget?

It doesn't support mp4, m4v amd mov. I tried video/mp4, video/m4v and video/quicktime, they don't work. Anything wrong with the following code. Pls help. Thanks.
<video id="sourcevid" autoplay="true" loop="true">
<source src="00048.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

Thanks for the tip, Rycankun. I just tried changing my m4v ext to mp4 and the video worked just great in an HTML widget with a HTML5 video tag. The video opens in a new page the same way any html widget does with the video centered on the page -- just what we were looking for.
I commented on your other post about HTML widget and left some additional info on encoding videos so I thought I'd paste that same info here as it's more relevant to this thread:
A few thoughts about encoding -- we started out using the documented Quicktime 10 > Export > Format iPod touch & iPhone 3GS but there's no control over the video/audio compression settings. We then went to Compressor and used a modified version of the SD or HD preset for Apple devices - had more control but still weren't able to get the files as small as we needed at the quality we desired. We finally have settled on using Handbrake to create our mp4 using the iPhone & iPod Touch preset and adjusting the Constant bitrate RF value and audio settings to get the quality we desired. The resulting mp4 is not directly useable in iBA but it's easy to convert the mp4 container to a m4v contrainer using Subler (for Mac) to transcode to Main @ 3.1 profile. Transcoding with Subler doesn't re-encode the video or audio - those tracks just pass through and Subler converts the movie container to the selected Main @ 3.1 profile. There's probably a way to create the m4v directly from Handbrake with Main @ 3.1 profile but so far the closest I've gotten is Baseline @ 3. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

HTML Widget zooming effect

Hi,
I am trying to make my HTML Widgets in my iBooks Author book to being fired up when user taps on a small button in the side of the book.
For that sake, I place my widget first, then I drag my small button graphic to the widget area so it becomes the poster image of it.
Problem is that when I test my book and I tap on the button, there's always a "zooming effect" of the button prior to execute the Widget itself, that enlarges the little png for a little while, so it shows the big pixel jagged image. I don't like this effect, is there any way to get rid of it?
Thank you,
Ignacio

I am just using finally this workaround:
1) Place the HTML widget as usual, but without poster image, nor Title, Background... so it is sort of a "transparent hot spot" in the book
2) I draw a figure with text inside, as a button, and organize it so it lies below this transparent widget
When I run the book in the iPad, I see a crisp, clear button that I cap tap and the Widget plays at full screen without that annoying jagged PNG zoomed in.
Same thing if you use an image button rather than a figure.
Greetings,
Ignacio

How do I add new data to the same file in a State Machine?

Hello,
I have a State Machine, with a State where 3 samples of data are collected in a For Loop. I would like to save this data in a file and keep adding new data to the same file each time I get to this state. The problem I'm running into is that each time I reach this State, my old data in the Excel file gets replaced with the new data instead of being continuously added in the same file.
Ive tried Shift Registers but I may not be using them correctly since my file keeps displaying only 3 new data points.
Any ideas will be appreciated!
Thank you, so much.
-Peter

Where should I place these shift registers? Where should I place my File I/O VIs? Is it possible to use the Write to Spreadsheet File VI in this situation?
Ive attached a very simple example of the problem. Thank you.

Html widget

How do I create an html widget? I have a Paypal html code, but I don't know how to create a widget. Is an html snippet the same as an html widget?

What do you want to be able to do?

2 computers at home working with the same files i keep on an external hard drive to free up space the internal drives. I have an airport extreme time capsule to back up both computers. how can i get it to back up the hard drive plugged into time capsual?

I want to run both my macbook pro and imac from a single external hard drive.
i bought a time capsual and set it us as my network and plugged my external hard drive into it. so now both my computers can access it and work on the same image and film files. the time capsual does a lovely job of backing up both my computers and my wifes. but i cant get it to back up the external hard drive that is conected to it. ive looked on the forum and it seems to me that its not possible, which seems odd to me that mac would enable you to plug a hard drive into the time capsual but not let you back it up, what is the point in that!?
so my question is can i back up the external hard drive with time machine, and if not how do i set up my home network so that all my computers can access the same files and time machine will back everything up?
I did the upgrade to maverics on my imac which has caused me a major headache as now all my apature albums have been updated to 3.5.1 but my macbook pro can no longer open them because im unable to upgade it to maverics, but thats another story.
If anyone can help me with my time machine issue i would be very greatful.
many thanks

The TC for whatever it is promoted as,, is still a simple hard disk in a router. It was designed for laptops to use as a backup. A desktop can use a USB drive, faster cheaper and more reliable than a network drive but the laptops need a network wireless storage. Hence the TC. It is NOT nor was it ever designed to do the job you are trying to use it for.. it is not a NAS.. it has no internal backup.
What is more Time Machine has no ability to backup network drives no matter what their format.
So the solution is to either use a real backup software.. eg Carbon Copy Cloner which can do far more than TM can or ever will. It is around $40 so hardly expensive. But since the TC was never designed for it, this will be slow.. and the next question is where are you going to back to. Using the TC as backup location for your files is less than great. Primarily because all your files are still on the same device albeit on different disk. It is also because mixing data and TM backups is not so great. The TC cannot be partitioned although you can alleviate some of the issues..
See this info.
Q3 here http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Let me go back to the question.
so my question is can i back up the external hard drive with time machine, and if not how do i set up my home network so that all my computers can access the same files and time machine will back everything up?
Fundamentally the TC is the wrong place to do this.
The right place is to plug the USB drive into the iMac.. since it is a desktop machine and you are probably not lugging it around. Simply share the USB drive to the network.
The MBP can then access the USB drive, and it will be around twice the speed of networking to the same drive on the TC. TM on the iMac can then also backup the USB drive to the TC as part of the normal TM backups.
The only thing is the iMac needs to be turned on to allow MBP access.

Opening a file in the host from a link in the HTML widget

Hi,
I'm trying to create an inDesign panel that opens an inDesign file (.indd or .idml) when I click on a link in an HTML list of files that appears in the HTML widget.
Can anyone tell me how I can achieve this either width html or javascript/extendscript ?
What's the best practice?
Thank you very much for the help.

Get app.preferencesFolder, Folder.userData or similar in html widget (CS5)

I want to find the path to a writable location inside a html widget, preferrably the path pointed to by app.preferencesFolder or Folder.userData. The current user's home directory could also work.
Is there a way to communicate these paths back to the panel (without running as administrator)?
As a workaround, would it be possible to have Extension Manager write that path to a file in the assets folder (which would be readable from the panel...)?
Note: that my question is for Photoshop CS5. I know how to get return values with Configurator 4.
All ideas are welcome. Cheers.

Getting Keynotes/HTML widgets to 'automatically play' in iBA

I'm trying to make use of iBAv2.2's new 'automatically plays' feature in iBA. My question is regarding a Keynote widget, but the same query stands for HTML widgets
I thought what should happen is that when you navigate to a page, the keynote wouldn't require a tap to play – the widget would be active on the page so the user can just use it. I assumed, therefore, that it would not have the 'play' icon either.
I have imported the Keynote, and selected 'play on page', and 'automatically plays' within the 'interaction' tab of the Inspector. However, the resulting iBA file still shows the 'play' icon, and still requires a tap by the user.
Have I missed something out here? Is there something I need to do with the Keynote file itself (within Keynote) before I import it into iBA? The iPad I'm using is a Retina version running iOS7, if that's relevant.

My bad.
Didn't have 'Play automatically' set on the presentation in Keynote.

The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file. Does Snow Leopard Server File Sharing (AFP) provide similar features?

The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file. Does File Sharing (AFP) on Snow Leopard Server provide similar services?

Were you ever able to solve this problem. I'm having similar issues since upgrading to snow leopard. Four macs connect to a Windows Server 2003 for shared files. Each user has full permissions & when we "get info" it shows read & write permissions. Two of the computers were running 10.4, two were running 10.5. Everything worked properly until upgrading to snow leopard. Some files let me copy, move, delete. Others either just hang up or we get a "no permission" error. Also getting a "pdf is in use" error, even when the file/folder doesn't contain a pdf. We had our IT rep check the server who said everything is in working order. They don't represent macs any longer but feel that it's a mac problem. I would have to agree since this problem only started after the upgrade, and the one machine that was not upgraded (still running 10.5.8) is not dealing with these problems.
Lastly, I would install 10.5 back on all of the computers if I could, but the leopard disk that came with one of the computers wouldn't work with the 2 machines running 10.4 and I didn't see it available at the apple store. I'll buy it if it's still available, but why wouldn't the disks that I have work?
Thanks for any help

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

Elements 13 - a jpg file always opens in B & W raw and I cannot get it to open in colour. Same file open OK in colour in Elements 9. Any suggestions how I can get it to opens in colour in Elements 13?

Elements 13 - a jpg file always opens in B & W raw and I cannot get it to open in colour. Same file opens OK in colour in Elements 9. Any suggestions how I can get it to open in colour in Elements 13?

Thanks for your reply - I just open the file with "Open" in the File menu - all my own jpg files open fine in colour. This is someone else's photo given to me and it does not matter how I open it "Open", "Open in raw" or "Open with ..." it always opens in B & W raw in the raw dialogue box. In Elements 9, which I also have on my PC it opens fine as jpg in colour so I can edit it there, but I am just wondering why I am getting this problem in elements 13. If I open it in any other programme such as Windows Photo viewer or Office 2010 viewer it opens fine in colour.
Not sure what you mean by "basic settings" menu.
Thanks for the reply
