Export Recordest to XML help, please

I'm trying to display my database info using Spry in CS4. In
CS3 there was a utility called "Export Recordest to XML" that was
part of the toolkit, but was also available as a registration
incentive. Is this functionality now built into CS4?
I guess what I' m really looking for is a tutorial on how to
bring data in directly from the database to the webpage. I've seen
the video of how to do it from a static HTML page, but that doesn't
help here.
I've also seen this page (
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/utils/query2xml.html)
but it doesn't offer any practical info for how to actually
implement this into a dreamweaver/spry page.
What is frustrating (aside from my own lack of knowledge) is
that one of the original raison d'être for Dreamweaver and its
ancestors, was the creation of dynamic sites from databases by
people who were somewhat programming challenged.
Maybe it is all there and I'm just missing it, but I would
truly appreciate any help.

Once you have your page that creates the xml, just use that
link in spry
as your datasource. Ignore the fact that it doesn't end in
xml, that
doesn't matter, as the output content type is xml, so it will
be treated
like xml.

Black video after exporting sequence in FCP7 - help please!

hello,
So i'm not doing anything new - i've edited my clips as usual, settings are all as usual, but after i export the finished sequence and try to play it back, all i get is a black screen, with audio, for the entire duration of the sequence.
in the canvas it plays back fine, theres nothing to render, i've tried both with H.264 and Apple prores 422 HQ and nothing, i have tried to export as QT and also using QT conversion, checked the video settings there, all good, the video is rendered, also i checked the video processing in settings, used both render in RGB and render in 8 bit YUV, but no luck.
and i dont think it has to do with in and out points because the black video I get IS the duration of the audio, and the whole sequence for the matter.
The only thing I am wondering about is that I added some png files to make "gifs" over the video - I exported this same video BEFORE adding the pngs and everything was fine, but it is after adding these still images that the whole video goes black after exporting. But I have done similar projects before, with the same type of files, and I have never gotten this problem.
note; there are only a few of these still images scattered over the sequence, the majority of the video doesnt have these pngs over, but it is the whole of the video that goes black after exporting.
Can someone help me please, i dont know what else to give a go at and i cant find answers to my problem online!
many thanks.

Could be your sequence is corrupt. Create a new sequence with the same settings and copy everything from the old sequence to the new sequence.
If you need help with this post back.

AS2 and XML help please

Hi, I found a previous post in this forum that does exactly
what I would like to do, but since I am new to adobe flash I am
missing some knowledge. I have the actionscript code and the xml
file - what I need help with is the GUI. I open a new AS2 project
and press F9 to insert the action code. What do I do next? Please
help!
I attach the previous actionscript code posted by another
member.
Best Regards Eva

Hi, thanks for Your reply. Yes, I have the .xml file, what I
need help with is the 'frame' that You display the picture in. Do I
need to create a layer or scene? I guess that myContainer_mc in the
code needs to be identified in this 'frame'. How do I go about
doing this?
Any help is most appriciated!
Best Regards Eva

Coorilis / Phoca / crossdomain.xml help please

Hello everyone,
     I am using Joomla with Phoca Gallery. It has cooliris embeded into it for a nice way to display your gallery. It states I need to put the crossdamain.xml file into the root directory. I have done this. I am using 1&1 Web hosting. I am using the code it tells me for the xml file I have upgraded to the latest versions on my website too. Any help would be great.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM
    "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
    <allow-access-from domain="*.cooliris.com" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>

Finally figured this out that it was due to a channel configuration issue. Within the remoting-config.xml file, the change made is shown below.
The one below was causing the issue and was looking for crossdomain.xml
    <default-channels>
        <channel ref="my-secure-amf"/>
        <channel ref="my-amf"/>
    </default-channels>
Changed the above to
    <default-channels>
        <channel ref="my-amf"/>
        <channel ref="my-secure-amf"/>
    </default-channels>
Thanks
Murugan.

Exporting to pdf - need help please

I work with Multi Ad Creator (at a newspaper) and prior to sending the file to the publisher we need to convert it to pdf ( we click on the file and so to file, export, pdf). There has never been an issue doing this but there is now! When the file gets converted there is a two lined-four sided graphic on the top of my file that I cannot seem to get rid of - what have I done to the program and what can I do to fix this?? The paper ended up being printed with these graphics on them which is not good!

Here is a jpeg of the pdf file that was converted.
And here is a jpeg of the crtr file converted. When I convert the crtr to pdf I get that darn graphic and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why it comes up - it comes up on any crtr file converted to pdf, but this never used to happen grrr

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want.

Help please problem with export

I had some problems with safari on my imac (OS X) so I did some "repairs" I ended up deleting some keychains and I believe that is what cause the problem I'm having. However I don't know how to fix it.
When I try to export RAW images from my Lacie rugged external hard drive to the desktop into jpg I get this error...
"An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index field 'rootFile' (a nil value)"
I have a deadline very soon (in about an hour) and need help please.

Fantastic, these things always happen at the most inconvenient time!!!
When you've got the job out of the way reboot the Mac and try the export to desktop again. If it is still broken then in Disk Utility run Repair Permissions on the Mac and La Cie.
Who do I send the bill to???

I want to display the number of Passed / failed tests in Testtand xml report , please help me

Hi, I want to display the number of Passed / failed tests in Testtand xml report , please help me.
My requirement is later i should be able to display these number of passed/failed test in report header too.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have attached a sequence to give you an idea of how to get the Result count (I didn't check it's working ), I have used "SequenceFilePostResultListEntry" callback to calculate the Result Count,
and the Result Count is passed to the "ModifyReportHeader" through File Globals, where you can edit the XML file to show it in the Repot (follow the link in my previous post).
Hope this helps

I'm sorry to learn that you have endured the audio issues outlined in your post for almost 2 years SusanLM1! This is certainly not normal! Let's get to the bottom of this issue, first please confirm your phone model; your mention that you have the iPhone 5 but your post is on the iPhone 5S forum. Also, share the iOS version currently installed on your phone. What is your ZIP code? Does this happen mainly while you make/receive calls from a particular location (home, office, etc)?

XML Files - PLEASE help!!

Hi guys!
Am desperately seeking some help on an XML issue please!!
Am just wondering if anyone knows any limitations of having large XML files within B2B applications. Everywhere I look seems to suggest that there's no limit on the size of an XML file - this is grand, but is anyone aware of a performance downgrade when dealing with large files? And if so, what is the maximum recommended file size before performance is affected. Are there any other issues upon which file size would have a negative impact? Sorry if this sounds like a bit of a silly question but am a newbie to the design implications of XML and am in bad need of assistance!
thanks a mill for all your help
cheers
bronniebee

Well no, there's no limit on the size of an XML file by the specification, but in practice you will find that you almost always have to load the XML file into memory. This means that the larger the file, (a) the longer it takes to load and (b) the more likely it is you will run out of memory. I have seen it suggested that 10 megabytes is a practical upper limit for the size of an XML file to be processed in this way, but of course that would be just a rough guideline. If you have files much larger than that, you will have to use a SAX parser (which processes the XML sequentially) if you want to be able to handle it.
But if you are talking about B2B, then most of your XML files will be transaction packets, right? Probably you wouldn't have a purchase order that large, for example. And you will be processing them asynchronously, right? (Nobody sitting at the browser waiting for a response.) That simplifies things because you don't have response time as an overriding requirement.

Load XML in intranet ? urgent help please...

Dear friends, I need urgent help: I have a CAYIN screen (which lets me display evetns, etc) and gives me the option of loading/displaying a FLASH (SWF) file, well, I need this SWF to load some XML data ("texto.xml") but seems that when the CAYIN program which executes flash, does not allow the SWF to find the XML in the same folder...
Then I tried many ways to load the XML file with no success till now. Some tries are :
obj_xml.load("\\192.168.0.100\media\texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("\media\texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("../media/texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("\\media\texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("file:\\192.168.0.100\media\texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("..\\192.168.0.100\media\texto.xml")
I guess I am writting something wrong or forgetting something. Would anyone please help me ? because these files are in an internal server "192.168.0.100" (intranet).
Urgent help please, thanks in advance,

if the swf is in a directory with subdirectory media which contains texto.xml, use:
obj_xml.load("media/texto.xml")

Newbie help please: "Validation of XML file failed."

Hopefully my question is short and easy.
I'm a developer and haven't used FrameMaker before. However for unforeseen reasons, I've inherited our technical help documentation constructed in FrameMaker which I've never used. Unfortunately I'm under a very tight deadline and I'm attempting to update our already existing and fairly extensive application help files.
However, I'm getting a "Validation of XML file failed" error for 90% of our .xml help docs. I opened our .book file in FrameMaker fairly easily, and can see all of our .xml files. However the variables already embedded in the documents aren't being recognized and seem to be causing the above error. I've located our variable definition files (xml) in the concepts folder, but FrameMaker doesn't seem to recognize them. Any suggestions on what I can check or how I can get FM to refer to the variable definitions? I'm working with a new installation of FM, is there some setup I overlooked?
Many thanks,
dana.

Sheila and Rick,
Thank you both so much for your offer of help. My apologies for not replying earlier. Other 'emergencies' and priorities at work took me in other directions. It turns out another solution has been found for the time being. But thank you again for your replies. They say a lot about this community and its support. :)
Thanks again,
dana.

Use XML.sendAndLoad.
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html
You will need a server script to receive the XML structure
and it depends on
the server scripting language how you obtain that data. Then
you can either
populate a database or write to a static file or even email
the XML data
received from Flash.
For a basic example, I have two links I use for students in
my Flash
courses:
