Dynamic Embeded Assets

So I have a class with a bunch of embedded assets for my
project. I now want to re-use this same code base for another
project and dynamically switch out these dynamic assets depending
on the project. Is there a way to insert a variable in the source
of these embedded assets.
[Embed(source=myBackground)]
[Bindable]
public static var background:Class;
I

did you try adding width/height attributes to the image. they say the img tag is experimental still, so with the symbol reference it might not know the width and height to use, it still displays properly (the image piece only) but the rest of the html text doesn't know how to deal with it?

Embedded Assets and app size

Hi,
I am embedding assets into our Air app. The same asset will be embedded in several components. It is my understanding that this would lead to multiple copies embedded in the .swc file and it would be better to create a file which declares a class of each embedded asset to be refered to by the components. Is my understanding correct or is the compiler smart enough to see that the same file is embedded multiple times and embed it once and optimize?
Thanks

Yes, you can dynamically load the needed fonts at run time.

How Automate Dynamically Embedding Customer Names from a List into PDF Footer?

Mavens,
After discovering that a PDF training workbook of mine has been widely copied (without authorization), I'd like to "personalize" future versions of this artifact with the customer/user name dynamically embedded in each PDF's footer.
Based on your experience, what is the easiest, quickest & most economical way to: generate a set of PDFs (from a "Master") where each individual PDF is personalized with a user/customer name in the footer (e.g., "This document is licensed to {FRED BLOTZ} at {BIG COMPANY, Inc.}. Duplication or distribution is not authorized.").
The desired workflow is:
1. Create an MS-Excel Workbook with a list of all trainee (user) names.
2. Open some type of "PDF Personalization" tool.
3. Provide the path to the "Master PDF" to the tool.
4. Provide the name of the customer (company) to the tool.
5. Provide a path to the MS-Excel Workbook with list of individual's names.
6. Provide a path to a folder where the tool should write the generated PDFs.
7. Click a button ("Generate Personalized PDFs").
Then...distribute individualized PDFs to trainees.
Is there a tool out there somewhere which provides the desired solution?
Thank you in advance for your experienced-based suggestions.

Dynamic embedding of view in used component

Hi All,
I have a scenario were i have to provide print functionality to all the views of an existing web dynpro component. This component has around 20 views. I have developed a new component for the print functionality were i am using BSP to fire the CTRL+P function.
But the problem is how do i get the view at runtime in my print component.....?
I tried passing the view controller reference to the print component through context binding, but i am unable to embed the view through the reference in to the print component view container element.
Is there any way i can acheive this....???
Any help will be appreciated..!

Bug in InlineGraphicElement with embedded asset

embedded asset set to source of InlineGraphicElement does not
show up until a real edit operation occurs
src:
var bullet:InlineGraphicElement = new InlineGraphicElement();
bullet.source = "
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/images/flashplayer_100x100.jpg";
//new bulletClass();
bullet.width = 15;
bullet.height = 15;
var pf:ParagraphFormat = new ParagraphFormat();
pf.marginLeft = 20;
pf.textIndent = 0;
p.paragraphFormat = pf;
var sp:SpanElement = new SpanElement();
sp.digitWidth='10';
sp.fontFamily='courier';
sp.fontSize = 10;
sp.textAlpha = 0.1;
sp.text='.';
p.addChildAt(0,sp);
p.addChildAt(0,bullet);
_textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllContainers();
private function
graphicStatusChangeEvent(e:StatusChangeEvent):void
for each(var bm:bulletMap in map)
if(bm.bullet == e.element)
trace('found');
bm.para.textIndent =
-InlineGraphicElement(bm.bullet).actualWidth -12;
_textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllContainers();
//InlineGraphicElement(e.element).graphic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
onBulletClick);
_textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllContainers();
if i replaced embed source with normal url , it loads and
shows up correctly.
Any idea on it ? A bug ?

FYI: What's happening here is that composition is being
recursively called. With the embedded graphic the status is being
set during the first call to updateAllContainers and then the event
handler recursively calls into updateAllContainers. That is
confusing the composer.
Rather than requiring the caller to figure that out I'm
adding a boolean to the composer so that calls such as
updateAllContainers etc simply return on recursive calls. Once
that's done the example is working.
It'll take a while for the fix to percolate through the
system and be posted.
Note that simply adding your own booleans around the first
call to updateAllContainers may not quite work. You'll need to also
call compose again if you see a recursive call - there is one more
internal change to do with delayed handling of the format change
made in the event handler.
By the way you are using a fairly old build - I think it
would be worth updating to buid 370.

Dynamic embedding of DTD in DOM

Hi
I am parsing the below XML which is uploaded by the user.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<carList name=>
<car>
<name/>
<model/>
<cost/>
</car>
</carList> Similarly user can upload even truck.xml or flight.xml, which are having seprate DTDs for validation.
I have a DTD to validate the XML file provided by the user. But I dont want the user to know about this validation and DOCTYPE element will not be available in XML file
( <!DOCTYPE car SYSTEM "someurl/car.dtd"> ).
DOM provides option only to enable validating (setValidating(boolean). But, Is it possible to set the DTD file too dynamically ???

Azure indexer for dynamic packaged asset

Hi I have an mp4 uploaded in the media services and I ran the Azure encoder to create a dynamic package of the video. I also ran the Azure indexer to create the index files for captions.
I am using the Azure Media Player using the iframe code below in my webpages, however I do not see the captions.
<iframe src="//aka.ms/azuremediaplayeriframe?url={mp4 url}" height="300" width="200" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen/>
I see the ttmland vtt files got created under the asset folder the source mp4 resided but nothing on the dynamically packaged asset. What is the correct way to reference the manifest to get the captions showing?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
If you deploy the application to local Tomcat, can you access the site using root URL? The StackOverflow thread states it is needed to rename the war file to ROOT.war, and remove the out-of-the-box ROOT/ directory. Please double check whether you have done
that. You may also want to refer to
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html, where it states:
The context path of this web application, which is matched against the beginning of each request URI to select the appropriate web application for processing. All of the context paths within a particular Host must be unique. If you specify a context path of
an empty string (""), you are defining the default web application for this Host, which will process all requests not assigned to other Contexts.
This attribute must only be used when statically defining a Context in server.xml. In all other circumstances, the path will be inferred from the filenames used for either the .xml context file or the docBase.
Even when statically defining a Context in server.xml, this attribute must not be set unless either the docBase is not located under the Host's appBase or both deployOnStartup and autoDeploy are false. If this rule is not followed, double deployment is likely
to result.
And this link(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16160565/configure-the-path-localhost-of-the-war-application-to-be-the-root-java-ee
) may help you.
Thanks.

No video of Dynamically Linked asset from AE to Encore

Hi Folks,
I’m working with Adobe CS5 Collection Premium and I experience the following problem with bringing animate assets through a dynamic link into my encore project. I’ll try to explain briefly the issue:
I’m building a blu-ray disc in Encore, which has animated transitions between the menus. These transitions are created in After Effects and brought into Encore via a dynamic link. All the dynamically linked transitions are output correctly in the final disc with the exception of the first-play animated introduction (created in AE) to my main menu – the sound is there but there is no video. There are no issues during the preview of the project in Encore - everything plays just fine and all dynamic links to my animated transitions play ok in Encore. The problem occurs after burning the BD-disc - the video is missing from the intro scene.
Has anybody had a similar issue with dynamically linked assets to Encore projects? I tried bringing the same animated asset via dynamic link with After Effects CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5. The result is the same – the first scene lacks the video. Could it be because my Encore project settings are 20mbps, which causes the blu-ray player to struggle with the first-play animated menu?
Any solutions?

The composition background is transparent. It has per se no color and does not react to blendmodes and such. It's imaginable that Encore resets it to black for whatever reason (wouldn't know, as I design my menus always with full frame backgrounds to begin with). Still, I would consider it a bug regardless, so please fiel away:

OS X Flash Player + Flex Modules + Embedded Assets cause errors

I'm getting some strange errors when using modules which have
embedded assets, the module will load fine the first time it loads
after compile, but after then everytime I load the module I get
lots of the following errors (once for each embedded asset, images,
fonts etc.):
TypeError: Error #2023: Class
Test__embed__font_EmbedTrebuchet_medium_normal_1428760394$ must
inherit from Sprite to link to the root.
at flash.display::MovieClip/nextFrame()

at
mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/mx.core:FlexModuleFactory::moduleCompleteHandler()[E:\dev\flex _201_borneo\sdk\frameworks\mx\core\FlexModuleFactory.as:454]
However this only seems to be happening on OS X and seems
related to the flash player, I originally had 9.0.47 installed, but
got the 9.0.28 version of the debug player to try (which gave the
same errors).
I've tried to access the same application from a Windows
machine and vice versa and the errors only occur when viewing the
application from OS X. Also this only seems to happen when I'm
using the debug version of the application, the release version
seems to be okay - but obviously this is making developing the
application difficult when I'm on OS X.
I have tried the latest beta version of Flash Player 9 also,
but as that doesn't have a debug version it doesn't really tell me
if it resolves the issue or not.
I can't find any reference to this error elsewhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-D

I found a suggestion in another debugger problem thread to run a Flash Player installer from within the Flex Builder folder. I found an app named "Flash Player 9 Silent Installer.app" and ran it. My debugging functionality is back now, but the player version is a lot older.
The only culprit I can think of for this problem is Firefox. I recently upgraded to v 3.5.3 and I remember it popping up a warning about Flash Player needing to be upgraded immediately. I wonder if it overwrote something that caused this?

Transcoding Dynamic Link Assets

Am I missing something, or does Encore 5.0 not allow transcoding of Dynamically Linked assets before building? The usual suspects of Transcode Now and File>Render>Project are all grayed out. Seems the only way I can get the linked PP sequence to render is to Build.
Is that normal?

The next option would be that the transcode has already occurred for the type of project currently set (DVD -> DVD transcode setting is "transcoded or do not transcode"; bluray is bluray transcoded).
It would be very odd indeed for Transcode Now to be unavailable. Not where I can play with this, but I can't imagine a scenario that would produce the problem.

Dynamically embedded swf, has it ever worked

I have to repost it. Wondering what adobe will say about it.
I have tried this for a couple of days. I created a swf object in window.onload (also tried to create it directly while the script was loaded ), then call an AS function from JS. statically embedded swf works for both IE8 and FF, FF also fine for dynamically loading. In IE, this call externalinterface.call("echo", "as returns " + b); always shows "as returns false". The callback function has never worked in other approches with dynamic creation. Anyone has good experience?
Thanks.

How to use the BitmapData of an Embeded Asset

At the top of my class I embed this
[Embed(source='icons/16.png')]
private var icon16:Class;
I could make this class the source of a dummy image
var dummyImage:Image = new Image();
dummyImage.source = icon16;
then wait until the asset is loaded into the image and go
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = BitmapData(dummyImage.content);
then I could add it to my NativeApplication's icon's bitmaps
array
but that seems improper as I would have to create a useless
image and listen to some event on it.
Is there a more direct way to extract the BitmapData of an
embeded image?

You can make a BitmapAsset of it like this:
var bA:BitmapAsset = BitmapAsset(new icon16());
You can then use the bitmapData property of the Asset.

Dynamic Embedded Character Sub-Setting ???

Hi All,
I have instruction movies with 30 plus languages that I will be uploading to YouTube. I have Flash CS5 - AS3 - Player 10 req.
I need to add only the font groupings (Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese, etc.) needed for the language specified and ideally only those characters that are being used by the selected language when the file is processed/complied.
1. Can I programmatically add the characters being used to the internal list of embedded characters? Even if I have to run it twice to get it into the Library Font Object?
2. Can I programmatically set the language grouping? I know I can turn layers that call different fonts off and off.
3. Does the embedded character subsetting have a character limit? I can always make a utility to read the XML tags the have my displayed text and make a file or clipboard that I can paste it into the library. But, this is slow and tedious when you have 30 plus languages and 30 plus movies. I am trying to automate this whole process and limit inspection and non-automated testing.
When I use this on a users CD, all fonts will be in a shared SWF. The fonts are over 8mb in size.
I have a small issue with the #2 method - I have the potential need have Unicode characters in a text string that is in a ASCII based programming language. (FYI - the programs parser is smart enough to process the text string embedded in the code). I would hate to burden the movie with all the Chinese Characters or my newbie users/programmers (cough, cough) of my movie template with the task of ensuring that all characters a truly emdded and supported.
Thanks,
Jim

A few points:
(1) The point of embedding fonts in a PDF file is to make it possible for the PDF file to be properly displayed and printed by recipients of the PDF file that don't have the same exact fonts you do. Adobe recommends subset embedding of fonts whenever possible for highest quality display and printing of PDF file text. The subsetting includes only the glyphs you use and thus can save considerable file size. (For example, the Arial font in Windows is over 700K in size including all the glyphs for not only Western Latin languages, but also Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew alphabets. Subsetting usually reduces the amount of the font embedded to 25K or less for typical documents.)
(2) You don't own the fonts. You own a license to use the fonts. That is a very important difference!
(3) Remember that PDF is a “final form file format” with very limited editability. If you need to do any extensive editing, you should have the source file, whether .AI (for Adobe Illustrator), .INDD (for Adobe InDesign), .DOCX (for Microsoft Word), etc. to you. You are responsible to getting a license for the fonts used in these documents if you don't already have one.

Embedded asset will not load from aliased domain

I have a flash movie with an embedded flash movie that uses the get_URL to load an externally linked movie. The file works fine if coming from the root domain, but we also have three different domains virtually hosted to the same web root and the embedded movies will not load if accessed from those other domains. Current external URLs are absolute and not relative, still no loading:
www.topconpa.com
www.topconprecisionag.com
please advise

Ok, since I am stuck I did a complete DE-install/Re-Install of all Flash Players and Flash Builder. Clean slate. Thats not it.
As I have multiple web sites and bounce between Mac and Windows, it can be challenging to keep track. I had been using the Firefox FireFTP Addon to move files around as it was convenient. This was the problem. Simple answer is FireFTP was doing something wacky (?) to the SWF files when going from Windows to the Linux hosts. Using the builtin Microsoft Network Places FTP client or the excellent Transmit 4 on Mac OS X both resulted in working SWF files from my web sites.
Final Answer: the FTP client messed up the SWF file. Gotta watch that!

Dynamic embedding of video file in pdf

Hi,
I wanted to embed a video file ( *.mp4 format) in a pdf file programatically.
I am using C# / Asp.net 4.0.
Please let me know if there is any way / any tools do to it.
Thanks,
Uma Nath

1
Open the PDF in which you want to embed and autoplay a movie in Acrobat Pro. Click "File" on the menu bar and choose "Open" to display the Open dialog box. Navigate to the PDF, select it, and then click the "Open" button.
2
Go to the page where you want to embed the movie. Acrobat's "Page Navigation" controls are on the left side of the Toolbar.
3
Click "Tools" on the menu bar and choose "Multimedia," and then select "Flash Tool" from the Multimedia fly-out menu. Click and drag on the page were you want the movie to display to draw a Flash object control box. This opens the "Insert Flash" dialog box.
4
Click the "Browse" button to display the "Select a File" dialog box. Navigate to the SWF, select it and click the "Open" button. Click the "Show Advanced Options" check box at the bottom of the Insert Flash dialog box to expand the dialog box to display advanced options.
5
Click the "Launch Settings" tab. Click the "Enable When" drop-down and choose "The page containing the content is opened." Click "OK." The movie will now autoplay when the page containing it is opened.
