External JavaScript Editor

I'm curious which external JavaScript Editor others use?
I use PSPad, which has lot of nice features, but I don't have a syntax highliter and clip/autocomplete for all the Acrobat JavaScript methods. Is there a simple list of all these methods available?
Also PSPad supports access to indexed .chm or .hlp files. Is the Acrobat 3D JavaScript available as a standard .chm or .hlp Help File?
Anyone has experience with JSEclipse for Acrobat JavaScript?
Thanks for your input!

First I would look at the options Adobe provides, and Notepad++ is one of them. Since many are free, you could try them and then select which one you find most helpful. These text editors can also be used independently of Acrobat for other editing task so you might want to also consider that in making your choice.

  • External source editor

    Anyone know how to setup an external source editor?
    D11 allows one to change loads of media editors based on its
    "extension" and/or "mime/type", but there is in the list support
    for source editor, which IMHO is the most important of all.
    That and all the scripts DEFAULT to be writen as text files
    in the same directory as the cast/movie that they come from
    naturally.
    I would like to use a "serious" text editor to hack
    lingo/javascript scripts, not the internal text editor (which imho,
    should just be scraped and sticked to view/breakpoint/inspect
    mode).
    Thanx in advance,
    Kindaian

    I like to use NetBeans at
    http://www.netbeans.org/ . It
    does code folding, and has a nice javascript reference. You can set
    it up with Director by going to Edit->Preferences->Editors.
    Locate the Netbeans executable typically at:
    C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.5\bin\netbeans.exe
    Be forewarned though: You must specify an external file with
    the .js extension for Nebeans to know its a javascript file.
    Unfortunately, if you just double click any cast member that is a
    script, Director launches the editor opening a temp file with the
    extension .ls (as in Linked Script -dumb). Netbeans won't know what
    to do with it and won't show you all the Javascript features like
    code folding.
    You must specify the external file first. To do this,
    highlight the script cast member and use the Property Inspector in
    Director to specify the 'Link As' file. Note that Director cache's
    this file inside your .dir so you won't need to distribute the .js
    source with your project.

  • Access symbols from external javascript code?

    Because the coding support in the Edge editor (e.g. code completion) and the debugging tools are limited (and errors in browser console are useless), I've been moving as much of my code as possible into external javascript files.  From external js files, it has worked fine to access things on stage by jquery class selectors.  But I would also like to access symbols by instance name.  Does anyone know how to do this from an external js file?
    I noticed that using the new in version 3.0 way of adding js libraries to the project doesn't work so well for my own js because "Preview in Browser" doesn't re-load my edited code each time.  So I'm still using yepnope for my own external js.
    Doug

    Have you checkout Bootstrapping in Edge Animate http://blogs.adobe.com/edge/2012/05/15/bootstrapping-edge-compositions/
    Once the composition is loaded store the composition ID.Later you can access the symbols using the regular Animate API's
    Like :
    AdobeEdge.getComposition(compId).getStage().getSymbol('symbol_name')

  • [SOLVED] Unable to use Javascript editor in any browser

    I'm not able to edit a Tumblr theme because I cannot find a browser compatible with their Javascript editor, which unfortunately is a requirement.  I was hoping to use Firefox, which I know works on Windows, but all the editing controls such as copy/cut/paste are lost.  I have read many articles on the subject, including addons such as "AllowClipboardHelper" but I believe they're all outdated or irrelevant, since none of the solutions work.  I tried using Epiphany, Chromium, Opera, and Midori, but they all seem to do worst.  Some don't even display the text.  I did find one way though, namely to use Rekonq (not Konqueror) in KDE, but I'd much rather use Firefox in Gnome if possible.
    Edit:
    It turns out that it was the "All-In-One-Gestures" addon that caused the problem.  Once disabled, the editor works as expected.  However, I still don't see why it fails in the other browsers.  Feel free to delete this post.

    well.. this question has little to do with the VMware kit.. it's a generic SQL*Plus question.. following 3 keywords: "sqlplus default editor" in google give the answer..
    1. from the shell use EDITOR as environment variable.
    $ export EDITOR=emacs
    2. inside SQLPlus you can use "define _EDITOR=emcas"
    3. to get out of that afiedt.buf prompt, just hit Control-D.
    4. As I recall emacs is not installed due to space considerations.
    enjoy,

  • External Javascript not working with C# and XAML windows phone app

    I've added a WebView into my project. If I navigate to the html file that contains external javascript files they don't work. Bit if I write the javascript code hardcoded into the html file it works properly.
    Here is the html portion:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
    <html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title></title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="testjs.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div id="abcd"></div>
    <br/>
    hello! this is a simple html block.
    </body>
    </html>
    Here is the javascript portion:
    document.getElementById("abcd").innerHTML = "New text!";
    When I open the webview it shows
    hello!
    this is a simple html block.,
    but if the javascript code worked it would show
    New
    Test! hello! this is a simple html block.
    And in the C# code the uri is called this way:
    url = onlineTestWebView.BuildLocalStreamUri("myUrl", "problem_page/test.html");
    StreamUriWinRTResolver myResolver = new StreamUriWinRTResolver();
    onlineTestWebView.NavigateToLocalStreamUri(url, myResolver);

    I assume this is because you are using NavigateToString. Please see

    NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined

  • "Open in external sample editor" seems to be broken?

    Hey all,
    I'm hoping that someone can help me figure this out. I'm using Logic Pro X 10.0.7 in conjunction with Adobe Audition CS6. This problem seems to happen intermittently, and on some of my machines, but not others. I've also witnessed it on others' machines as well.
    When I try to open a region of audio in the external sample editor (For which I've set up Adobe Audtion CS6 to do destructive edits), I can manage to get the file to open correctly in Audition. HOWEVER, when I make my edits in audition and try to SAVE the file in Audition to send it back to Logic Pro X, I get an error message that the file cannot be saved because it is "in use by another application". It's almost as if Logic doesn't release the file to the external sample editor in order for it to be overwritten, and updated.
    When I switch back to Logic, after I get the error message, Logic "refreshes" the waveform information, but it's still unchanged, because the external sample editor can't save the changes that I've made to the region. Can anyone relate? Offer me useful tips on how to fix this? Is it a bad configuration on my end, or just a bug in Logic?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Ok so I think I might have figured this out on my own... Apparently, if you highlight a region, and the region is open in Logic's Editor window, while you're trying to edit the region with an external editor like Audition, it will throw the "file is in use by another application" error, when you try to save the changes you've made in the external editor. I found that if I close the "Editor" window in Logic, before trying to open the region in Audition, Audition is then able to save the changes to the file.
    Derp.

  • How to  include external javascript and css resources to a jsf?

    I need to include external css and javascript files to my jsf page. Using the code below does not work because all the styles on the css page are ignored and the functions within the js files are not executed.
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/resources/styles/style.css" />
    <script language="JavaScript" src="/resources/javascript/util.js"></script>When I try to execute any js function within a script tag on a jsf page I get an object expected error.
    I googled about my problem and found this piece of code for importing styles for an external css.
    <style type="text/css">
    @import url("/resources/styles/style.css");
    </style>How could I add an external javascript file to my jsf?

    Used the relative urls in my first post as well as these, and both were not working.
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./resources/styles/style.css" />
    <script language="JavaScript" src="./resources/javascript/util.js"></script>The ./ tells that the external file can be found by starting at the current directory and working down the path to the specified file. This is my directory structure. Index.jsf is the file that references the external js and css files.
    -Webcontent
    |_index.jsf
    |_resources
    |__styles
    | |__style.css
    |__javascript
    |__util.js
    Either way I still can't reference the files that I need. Calling a javascript function results in an object expected error, and the styles are ignored.
    If I include the js file directly in the jsf then I can get it to work. I don't want to do this because I have created a handful of seperate js files, and do not want to include all of them in one page. I am using myfaces and tomahawk if that helps.

  • How can I change the default program for the external applications editor?

    I have read the on line directions for this and it reads "select a file type in the left pane."   I do not see where this is in the left pane.  All I see in the left pane is "Browser start pages" and a "How do I " Pane.  Nothing with file types.

    In order to change the default program for the external applications editor. Please follow the steps as mentioned below.
    Click on Edit menu then choose preferences.
    Once the preferences dialog box open.
    click on file editors.
    On the Left pane you will find all the file types which you want to edit .

    Any code sample to accomplish the above will be much appreciated.

  • External sample editor

    how do I open an audio file from logic in an external sample editor? I know you can do it, but can't find in the manual how you do this or how to set what the default sample editor is when you open the file in the external editor
    Thanks

    There is a key command Search:
    "external"
    in the KC window. Assign it. 1st time you use it you will gett a prompt to select the app.

  • "File" tab in external table editor replaced by "Access Parameters"?

    Hi,
    I have a few external tables where the "File" tab in the external table editor is replaced by an "Access Parameters" tab.
    Does anybody know what may have caused this or how to repair it?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Hi Ed
    I have had that happen many times but have not figured out the root cause. The fix I used was pretty basic. Delete the external table and redefine it.
    This has happened to me mostly when I move an external table definition from our TEST repository to PROD. It seems to lose the file definition it was originally attached to.
    Since my external tables look exactly like my flat file sources it takes only a few seconds to recreate the external table.
    I didn't spend any more time trying to figure out the 'why'.
    Good luck.

  • Webkit. How to connect external javascript from dir C:

    I can't execute javascript from dir C:
    I have some html, that I load in Webkit with loadContent(). In that html invoked function test(). Function contains in a separate javascript file.

    </body>External javascript (test.js)
    function test() {
            alert('It works!');
         getText();           
    }External js doesn't work. PromptHandler (AlertHandler) doesn't catch anything. If I use wEngine.executeScript('test'), appear error: netscape.javascript.JSException: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: getText.
    But that code works on any other browsers.

    Thank you for the problem report!
    This looks like a bug in WebView. A Jira issue has been filed to track this: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-17330. Note that the issue may end up classified as not-a-bug because the ability to run local scripts from dynamic contents may be considered a security hole.
    As a workaround, try saving your HTML into a temporary file and load it using WebEngine.load(). It should work as in any other browser. Another option is to include all necessary code in the HTML document loaded with WebEngine.loadContent(), but I gather that is undesirable in your case.

  • Can't Cut & Paste In JavaScript Editor Window

    Can anyone help? Can't cut & paste inside JavaScript Editor Window.
    I'm using Windows XP Home Edition & Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro

    I've had this happen sometimes while having a JavaScript console window open. IT happens after I've had the console open and switched to another application. Then when I switch back to Acrobat, the console is unresponsive. The solution I found was to close the console and open it up again from the menu. Then it's back to working as expected.
