External XML using Javascript

Hi
By using captivate 5.5, I have created the Glossary using Javascript. But I am unsure on how to 'call' external xml content in a textbox in Captivate 5.5. Please guide me on how to call external xml using javascript.
And is there any possibility to call "For Loop" javascript in the captivate 5.5. Please advice on how to proceed further.
Thanks

Try to check this document Browser Support for SAP and use PAM (Product Availability Matrix) to check for the compatibility of your SAP system with the browser.
If you are only the user of the Web Dynpro you would have probably no other choice than change the browser.

Opening an external link using javascript. Keeping new window in front

I am displaying a photo from an external link when called upon from my swf. When the user clicks a button, up pops a corresponding photo in a new browser window. After the photo window has opened, if the user clicks another button the photo browser will update but its no longer in front. I know I need to use the focus() command but cannot figure how to incorporate it into my AS3 code.
var req=new URLRequest();
function scrollPanePopulate(event:Event){
     //create the temp variables
     var calledPhoto=pntxml.row[pointindex].PhotoUrl;
     req=pntxml.row[pointindex].PhotoUrl;
     var jscommand:String = "var newwin=window.open('"+req+"','win','height=400,width=600,left=650,top=50,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,location=no');";
     var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand +"void(0);"); navigateToURL(url, "_self");
The above code works great but I want to keep the photo window in front when it is refreshed. Any suggestions?
thanks in advance...

How can i read XML from local drive using Javascript into Live Cycle

Hello,
I am creating PDF Form using Acrobat LiveCycle.
I want to write java script for load data into relative field and data present into xml file which is located at local drive
I have write all method for parsing xml which is required ............... but i am stuck into how to read/open/load local drive xml using javascript?

sandyrock:
You'd better post this message to Adobe LiveCycle forum: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbeda8d/
You can use postMessage method in LiveCycle JavaScript to communicate with host application,the host application can be a web brower like IE.
In IE you can use IE javascript to access local XML file.

Import external xml file in PDF using Livecycle

I require sending some values in main xml file from the external xml file during sending mail on button click. Doing so, I want to read values from external file into a hidden field or send the external xml/text file as an attachment.
1. Is there any feature in live cycle to attach multiple xml/text files in mail using button click?
2. Is there any way to read an external xml file to pre-populate a textbox using javascript?
Kindly help me to find out the solution.
Thanks in advance
Vikram Kumar

Hi,
1) You can do this with a script. But this script works only with the Acrobat Pro not with the Adobe Reader!!
2) Sure.
You open your form.
Go to File | Form Properties | Preview | then choose your xml-file
Then you have to got to the textobject | mark this | go to "Object" | "Binding"
Here you can bind the field: $record.PRINTJOB.PMSDATA.ObjectNameXML (You have to adapt this in the path in your XML to the field in the XML)
If you make a preview you will see the value of the XML in your textfield.
You can also script the databinding. You have to go to the initalize.event and write:
this.rawValue = xfa.record.PathToYourFieldInYourXML.ObjectNameXML.value;
Hope it will helps you,
Mandy

AS3.0 External Interface: Pass variables to flash using javascript

Hello all,
I am looking for a simple and straightfoward example of how I can pass the value of a variable into flash using javascript.
Specifically, I'd like to use javascript to pass the filename of an external video file that I would like to load into my flash movie.
I'd also like to call a function in the SWF that plays the movie once the filename as been passed to the flash movie.
External Inferface looks like the way to go.
I've found a few decent AS2.0 examples, but converting them to AS3.0 has proven difficult and many of the examples are much too complex for what I am trying to do.
If you have any code samples or tutorials showing the HTML/Javascript and the associated actionscript I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!
Tim

if you create a swf (eiTest.swf) and html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>eiTest</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
        <script language="JavaScript">
         function thisMovie(movieName) {
         if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
             return window[movieName];
         } else {
             return document[movieName];
     function f1(value) {
         thisMovie("eiTest").jsF(value);
</script>
    </head>
         <body onload="f1('yourfilename.ext');">
     <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

             codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab">
         <param name="movie" value="eiTest.swf" />
         <param name="quality" value="high" />
         <param name="bgcolor" value="#869ca7" />
         <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
         <embed src="eiTest.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#869ca7"
             width="550" height="400" name="eiTest" align="middle"

you can use:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.addCallback("jsF", asF);
function asF(fileS:String):void{
trace(fileS);

How can I use JavaScript extention functions with Xalan for transforming XML with XSL

While transforming standart XML and XSL files to HTML with this servlet:
package mypackage1;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.mozilla.javascript;
public class Servlet2 extends HttpServlet
private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html; charset=windows-1252";
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
super.init(config);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException
try
response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(new FileReader("c:/aaa.xml"));
Source xslSource = new StreamSource(new FileReader("c:/bbb.xsl"));
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource);
transformer.transform (xmlSource, new StreamResult(out));
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
everything is going ok,
but when try to use javascript function in XSL file, for example like in this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt" xmlns:my-ext="ext1"
extension-element-prefixes="my-ext">
<lxslt:component prefix="my-ext"
functions="getdate">
<lxslt:script lang="javascript">
function getdate() {
var d = new Date();
return d.toUTCString();
</lxslt:script>
</lxslt:component>
<xsl:template match="/">
<p><xsl:copy-of select="my-ext:getdate()"/></p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
recieve error-message:
XSL-1000: (Fatal Error) Error while parsing XSL file (Extension function namespace should start with 'http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/'.).
What kind of namespace I should specify?

Hello, Paul.
I'm sure you may not use JavaScript as a language for creating XSLT extention functions with Oracle XDK Parser. This is since parser might have JavaScript interpreter to work with JavaScript, but it has not.
If you need to build any XSLT extention functions you must build them as Java class' static methods.
After that, you define the usage of the class by mean of namespace declaration as:
xmlns:your-ns="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/yourpackage.Yourclass"
(Prefix "http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/" may differs if you use non-Oracle XML parser)
and use class' static method in XSLT:
<xsl:value-of select="your-ns.staticMethodName(paramsIfAny)"/>
In your case you may wish to use standard Date class:
xmlns:date="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/java.util.Date"
<xsl:value-of select="date:toString(date:new)"/>

Using external XML document to update / change text fields inside of published captivate output.

Hello
I currently have a project where the client has requested to have the ability to update the text fields inside the project at a later date.
This is due to the nature of the content changing rather rapidly, i would like to set this up so the client can manage this them selfs.
What would the best way to do this be?
I'm thinking XML, an external XML sheet were by Captivate imports the text from this XML sheet and then displays it within the specific text fields contained within the captivate output.
This way the client would just update the external XML document(cut and paste the text in) and then the text would be dynamically updated in the published Captivate document.
any help would be amazing !
Thanks in advance
Nick

Hi Lieve
But isn't this thread more about an end user having an ability to change text after the Captivate has been published and delivered? I could see where that might be useful if making changes then publishing to create a new output. But I'm interpreting that the situation here is that a Captivate project has been published and delivered, and some mechanism is desired that allows the recipient to modify an external XML file to influence changes in the already compiled Captivate output.
Cheers... Rick

Rename an XML tag using javascript

Dear adobe experts,
I have a requirement to rename XML tags, in the interface for an adobe form, using javascript.
the XML looks like this:
<ELEMENT>
     <DATA>
          <ROW_IID>0</ROW_IID>
          <PARENT>0</PARENT>
          <CHILD>0</CHILD>
     </DATA>
     <DATA>
          <ROW_IID>1</ROW_IID>
          <PARENT>0</PARENT>
          <CHILD>0</CHILD>
     </DATA>
</ELEMENT>
and the result should look something like this:
<ELEMENT>
     <CHAIR>
          <ROW_IID>0</ROW_IID>
          <PARENT>0</PARENT>
          <CHILD>0</CHILD>
     </CHAIR>
     <TABLE>
          <ROW_IID>0</ROW_IID>
          <PARENT>0</PARENT>
          <CHILD>0</CHILD>
     </TABLE>
</ELEMENT>
Is this possible and how can I do this? I was hoping that something like renameNode() (for instance) is also possible in the javascript set for adobe forms.
If it's not possible I'm going to have to create new nodes, put the data from the existing node in the new node and remove the original node. This will be a lot more work and just renaming is easier :-).
Kind regards,
Niels

Hi,
       Thanks a lot Jeff...
        I'm doing a huge program with lot of tasks. While doing that,my mind didn't strike to check if the tag is not already exist, then only to create new tag... Thanks for all of the indesigner experts for their replies...
I used the following codes with ur idea.
                    var renamewith = textbox1.text;
                    try
                        alert(app.activeDocument.xmlTags.item(renamewith).name);
                        if(app.activeDocument.xmlTags.item(renamewith).name)
                           var testTag = app.activeDocument.xmlTags.item(renamewith);
                    catch(e)
                        var testTag = app.activeDocument.xmlTags.add({name: renamewith});
With Regards,

Using external XML to add and set parameters for AS cue points.

Hi there. I am trying to use external xml to set cue point
times (for video), titles, and other parameters. I have everything
set up, except getting the proper data from the xml file to set the
parameters for my cue points. I am researching hard and learning
quickly - at this point, I need help. Thanks!

Anyone?
Still working on this if anyone has advice. Still haven't
been able to figure out how to put xml data in the right place:
addASCuePoint(//data from xml here to set name and time of
cue point - HOW??//);
Thanks!

Import xml/xsl using javascript

I had problem in import a xml file with xsl using javascript. CS3 only take the elements in xml without any xsl information when I defined doc.xmlImportPreferences.transformFilename="c:\\sample.xsl"; What else do I need to define to allow CS3 know that my xsl file is sample.xsl.

By the way, after I maunually import them, it can be handled by the program. I wonder there must be something missing when I try to import it viw Javascript at first time.

Connecting external middleware using xml-rpc

Hello together,
I'm not a SAP specialist. But I have to integrate an external middelware in the eh&s module. The middleware is offering a xml-rpc interface only.
Can anybody tell me best practices to connect an external middleware using xml-rpc?
My ideas are to develop a JCo for the R3 based systems an to use JCA for the NetWeaver systems.
Is that best practice?
Thanks and regards,

Hi,
I am trying to implement and run the sample application given under {Forte_Root}/install/examples/xmlsvr.
I have done all the required steps, but I am getting this error given below.
I am using soap-2_3 for SOAP and xerces-2_2_1 for XML parser, my server (Forte UDS)is on windows NT.
Please Note:- While connecting to the External web sites from my office, I need to connect through the firewalls and I need to give the user name and password to access the external web sites.
so my question is,
1. while connection to the server (Forte UDS SO) does it make connection to external website such as
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsd1="http://localhost/bankservices.xsd"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
and since i have to connect through the firefall and use the passwords, Am I not able to make connection?
2. Does any body of you had similar problem and how you are able to resolve this.
3. If I need to give user name and password, while making connection to external website, can you please tell, where I need to specify that. (Will it be in WSDL file etc)?
Your help is appreciated
Thank You,
