Flash brush sensitivity help.

In flash CC, my brush has no problem rendering, but when i put pressure sensitivity on, it all of a sudden will not show my strokes until i am done making the stroke

Hi Talonnn,
This issue has been fixed internally and the same will be available to you as part of the upcoming Flash CC release.
Thanks,

Unstable brush sensitivity in Flash CS4 answered

This question is finally answered. I reposted this since the last thread contained unreltaed discussions, I figured this way it would be easier to see the issue and get right to the resolve without scrolling through the meat of the other thread. I have been going through this issue with Adobe and Wacom for months trying to figure it out,
Adobe writes:

engineerting was able to reproduce the issue thanks to your information.
It seems to be windows based only but a bug hs been logged with a fix
planned for a future version.
Unfortunately there is no workaround at the current time. I'd be happy
to address any further questions on the issue.
In the end it is a combination of my system windows vista64, with two monitors, undocking the stage from the main flash interface, putting the stage on my Cintiq, and keeping the Flash interface window on my primary monitor that causes the brush sensitivity to disappear when the brush size is changed.
It is a bug only for PC, only (as far as I know) when the above steps are taken.
Unfortunately this is how I like to work since my Cintiq is a 15X I want to maximize my work space.
It's a bug and I hope they get around to fixing it.
In the meantime the workaround is to have the wacom preferences window open and when you change brush sizes, just draw in the test area of the Wacom preferences window and it will reset sensitivity until you change brush sizes again. It sucks to have to do everytime, but at least it works.
Or go get a bigger cintiq and keep the stage docked! I guess it's time to upgrade.

I'm fine with my old-school Graphire4

Unstable Brush Sensitivity Flash CS4

I have found in my experience with Flash CS4 and using a Wacom tablet or Cintiq that the brush sensitivity is unstable.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
As long as I open Flash and do not change the brush size, then the sensitivity stays just fine. If I change the brush size then sensitivity disappears and all I can draw is solid lines of a single width.
I contacted Wacom and was on the phone for two hours. After trying every possible fix, we decided it was a Flash error, since Photoshop works. Other machines were tested, other tablets were swapped in and out, new pens were tried, they all had the same problem.
I contacted Adobe and this was their response:
"As I understand that you want to use Flash on Wacom and brushes lack pen
sensitivity . I understand this issue & i found that brushes lack
pen sensitivity because it is not compatible with wacom tablet."
This is news to me that Adobe decided to not support Wacom tablets with Flash. Is this for real?
I responded saying that the response sounded wrong.
I have read other threads regarding this issue but was unable to find a solution.
UPDATE:
At 4:30 I spoke again with Wacom and it has been discussed that I need to file a bug with Adobe. They also confirmed that Flash CS4 does support the pen and eraser functions, so Adobe support was wrong.
My only hesitation for filing a bug is that for a program bug to exist, then wouldn't thousands of other people be experiencing the same issue?
UPDATE:
3 hours on the phone with Adobe and they are escalating the problem, so i have to wait to hear back. The current technical assistant was unable to replicate my issue.
Am I the only one with this issue?

How can I reference an external help file from context sensitive help at the control level?

My goal is to provide context sensitive help for each control displayed on the front panel using a help file created externally. I know that at the VI level I can specify a Help Path; I want the same behaviour for each control inside a VI. I also know about creating a custom control and specifying the Help Path in there, but it doesn't help in this situation, for I have hundreds of controls in my application and I cannot go back and replace each one with a unique .ctl. If I could override each instance of the custom control with unique path data that would do the trick, but that's not how it works.
Is there a way to add the Help Path information to regualr controls?

This functionality is not yet built into LabVIEW.
About all you can do is cut and paste the help for each control into the description for the control. It is tedius but a finite task.

Is there a way to open context-sensitive help in a new window with RH10?

I'm linking my context sensitive help using the RoboHelp_CSH.js file to my web application.
The correct topic opens when I click the help link, but it opens in a pop-up window. This causes problems in Firefox and Chrome (which block pop-ups by default).
Is there anyway to force the context-sensitive help topics to open in a new window?
I've tried adding
<p><A HREF="javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0,'http:/myurl/index.htm', HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 100)" target="_blank">Help</A>
which opens an empty tab in Firefox with no content in it. And it doesn't work in Chrome either.
Has anyone else run into this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Colleen

Hi and welcome to the forums.
Using the RoboHelp API, that is quite a bother. (Read: major pain)
Fortunately, there is a simple solution:
<a href="http://myurl/index.htm#<id=4>>newwnd=false" target="blank">Help<a/>
This link does exactly the same, only opens the help in a new browser window.

Muddled context sensitive help ids

Hi All
I've done some quite major updates to a help project,
including the creation of new context sensitive help Map Ids.
When I generate the help I get two files, cshdat_webhelp.htm
and cshdat_robohelp.htm. The cshdat_webhelp.htm contains the
correct map ids, however cshdat_robohelp.htm is still picking up
old IDs and some that look like random IDs, and this appears to be
the file that is called from the top level file
(projectname_rhc.htm) that the application calls. We can't get the
app to work with the projectname_csh.htm, so we need to use the
projectname_rhc.htm and cshdat_robohelp.htm files.
The only map file used in the project is the BSSCDefault.h
file, which only contains the correct IDs. I can't understand where
it is picking up the old/incorrect map IDs from. Can anyone please
help??
Thanks in advance,
Emma.

In case this is of use to anyone else, I found that there was
a .ppf file (whatever that is) in the directory, which was somehow
messing with the cshdat_robohelp.htm file. I deleted this, and hey
presto, problem solved.
Emma.

Cannot get simple merged HTML Help project going with context sensitive help

I have built a very simple project in RH9 from scratch, consisting of a main project and a sub-project now after I have modified our large project in changing every hyphens from file and directory names over a couple of days now only to see that context help still doesn't work.
The map IDs are not visible in the main project. To test it in the example, invoke the CSH-Test (context sensitive help test) from the Toolbox, enter !SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\main.chm in the Offline field and a number 57 in the ID field. In our large project I'm getting nothing (no window pops up). In this example I'm getting this mystical error box, saying HH_HELP_CONTEXT called without a [MAP] section.
Christoph

Hi William,
thanks having a look at my problem. I read in another thread today a description which comes close to the problem I'm facing.
Maybe I formed the mini sample not exactly as our problem is situated. (thus the doubled map ids you were claiming).
I will try to explain again: we have a couple of CHMs in separate single help projects. These go into their own TOCs, Index Glossar etc. like in sub1->Einzel. For the merged project we produce a chm that goes into the directory of the master (main) project, like in sub1->Primäres Layout.
Each Topic in the sub project (e.g. sub1->Erstes Thema) has a symbolic link address (e.g. "Linkadresse=det_org_angaben), which is mapped to the MAP ID via the .h file.
This all used to work that way in RH5.
Now it seems that this information between the map ID and the symbolic Linkaddress gets lost with the merge process.
I am not using the same ID (57) twice in my example. The MAP ID in the main project comes from the sub1 project (see the yellow locked MAP ID).
The simplest test is using the CSH-Test in the Toolbox giving the main.chm as the Helpfile to test and enter the 57 as a MAP ID.
The idea behind is to use one CHM later to have to open in the application. The other CHMs of the subprojects only need to be present in the application directory. Then you invoke HtmlHelp(with the MAPID),like I posted in this thread.
The method you are suggesting in mapping the ID to the topic in the main project will not work since the topic is in the CHM of the sub project.
I modified the sample project once again (somehow the baggage files were not showing) to come closer to the constellation we are using in the large project, though I'm getting the "HH_HELP_CONTEXT called without a [MAP] section" error (which does not occur in our large project).

Context-sensitive help breaking in RoboHelp 8

Peter - you're a lifesaver and I hope you're out there today . . . or somebody's out there who can help . . .
I shouldn't have said that in my last post about something being the "wackiest" thing I'd ever seen in RoboHelp. Now we have a new problem that's much more serious.
We have an aforementioned (in previous post) enormous RoboHelp 5 project, converted to RoboHelp 8 after much anguish, replacing hundreds of WYSIWYG graphics with true code etc. Map IDs were *not* touched.
Now the context-sensitive help for our VB app is not working, even though the map IDs are still in place on both ends (dev and docs) and all the relevant .hh files were included in my compile. Some topics (within the same help file) appear when called from the app, some don't.
A developer had a theory that in one case the topic ID was assigned (on their end) during design time, the other during run time. He's testing it now.
If it doesn't work, I have no idea where to begin. Is anyone aware of any changes in RoboHelp 8 that would affect the way the .hlp links to VB?
Thank you! - Sandy

Hi all,
I wanted to thank everyone who responded and post a follow-up to this, as well as a caution.
I felt like the world's biggest *** when I found this out, but it turns out that in my .doc files for this particular .hlp file (our project includes multiple .hlps) "Automatically Generate Map IDs" was turned on, and of course it should not have been. So the problem was on my end, not the software developers' end.
However - part of the reason it took me so long to figure this out is that I know I never turned that setting on. The other writer on this project has been here longer than I have and never would have turned it on. And it's not like that command is easy to stumble upon and set off accidentally (For those of you who don't know, it's under File>>Project Settings in RoboHelp Explorer). I have to think that RoboHelp defaulted those settings in somehow, maybe during our conversion from 5 to 8.
(Unless someone knows a way that you *can* just stumble on this setting and trigger it accidentally, maybe by inserting some random character in your .hpj . . . if anyone does, I would love to know about it.)
So, especially if you just changed versions of RoboHelp, I would encourage you to be proactive and, if you don't want "Automatically Generate Map IDs" turned on, double-check and make sure nothing is selected for Automatic Map ID Generation on the "Map Files" tab of the Project Settings dialog. After what happened to me this last time around, I'm probably going to check it every time I compile. - why not add another neurosis to the list?
Thanks again - Sandy

Context-Sensitive Help Issues

I have problem where context-sensitive help markers disappear
from my .h files.
I started with a .h file from my old WebWorks project. After
a little reformatting, I was able to get the CSH Map IDs to load
and map properly to my RH topics (I had to do the mapping manually
even though the topic names were the same) . I was also able to add
several new Map IDs to facilitate help in the latest version of our
product. The final help was tested and worked properly.
Now that it's time to update the help for another new release
of our product, I am noticing that many, many of the Map IDs that
were in my project before have now disappeared. Anybody have any
idea what is happening here?
I'm sick of struggling to get RH to play nice with these .h
files. Manually remapping the Map IDs to the topics each time we
release a new project is terribly dull work and time consuming.
Is there any way to add the Map ID numbers to the CSH markers
in FM so that RH can automatically map the IDs to the topics? I
want to use the Map IDs we already have established with our
development team; I don't want RH's automapping which starts at one
and advances incrementally through all of your topics).

I think you dint check the option "Project Map File" from drop down list in the dialog box for editing Map ids. For this, in the main menu point to "Edit" tab, select "Map Id's". Edit Map Ids dialog box appears. Choose the option for Map File as "Project Map File" from the drop down list.

Does Robohelp HTML V 7.02.001 support Arabic language to generate context sensitive help

Kindly let us know URGENTLY if RoboHelp 7.02.001 supports Arabic language to generate context sensitive help in Arabic. If RoboHelp does not support, let us know if there is any other workaround solution or third party integration tool that may help us to generate Arabic help files.

The supported languages are listed in the help file, they do not include right to left languages.
There are no tools that I know of but last week there was a post that might interest you.

Context Sensitive Help in Different Formats

I have a large help project in Robohelp HTML 8. My project manager would like to have context sensitive help for many objects in our application. I believe that context sensitive help cannot be used if you are generating a WebHelp format, but that it can be used for a Microsoft HTML format (chm file). Is this correct?

I thought you had CHM help working as CSH and were looking to go to WebHelp?
Both outputs can be used to provide CSH.
How the topics are called will be decided by your developer.

Context-Sensitive Help in RoboHelp 9

Hi -- I recently upgraded from RoboHelp 5 to RoboHelp 9. My first WebHelp project that I created using RoboHelp 9 is giving me problems with Context-Sensitive Help. When a user clicks on a Help link that is supposed to bring him/her to a specific topic, the user is brought instead to the project's main screen with the TOC, Index, and Search.
Is there something specific that my Developers and I should be doing differently in RoboHelp 9 vs. RoboHelp 5? Is the problem being caused because I made the jump from 5 to 9 without upgrading in between?
Any help that anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Maybe this link will help.

Flash CS5 Button Help

To start, I'm a total newbie in Flash, so I'm sorry if what I'm asking is ridiculously primitive, but I was literally thrown into this blindfolded and I'm using google and several forums to help me out.
What I'm doing: redesigning a website. At the moment, the website has a flash file that introduces it's logo and subcategories of its' website on the top of the page. What I wanted to do was make sure there was a hyperlink on the logo that would bring anyone back to the homepage, very basic stuff. The issue I have run into is that the logo is actually a flash movie. Different parts of the logo appear at different times, and I think this is what is specifically causing me issues.
The logo that I want to hyperlink has several layers, and what I've done so far is select them all and create a button (F8, select 'Button' and rename it). When I did that, I noticed the layers significantly changed and when I tested the movie, it looks terrible, choppy and not how it originally looked.
I know the step after that is to go into behaviors and insert the url to which I want it to be hyperlinked. The only thing is that I don't want to show a terrible flash movie to my boss even if it's hyperlinked to the homepage.
Anyone understand all that gibberish I wrote down? Or does anyone see a flaw in what I'm doing? I'm not 100% positive if the steps I'm taking are correct, I've been to several different sites, all of which tell me to do different things.
Initially I tried coding it with ActionScript, but I was having terrible issues with that as well.
If it helps, the file I'm working on was altered a while back. Could it be that the file is not compatible or proper for Flash CS5?
Help!!!

... how do I give that shape/button a url?
Since it is a button, it is already a self animating object that will react to mouse interactions, but only visually at this stage. The first thing you need to do to make it useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name. So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it. You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req);
... how do I know it's properly placed on the correct area?
What area? If you place it where you want it, that should be correct. (?)
... how do I make sure it's invisible...?
If you can't see it when you test the file and you know it's there and your cursor turns into a hand when you are over where it should be, it's invisible.
...how do I see the other objects in the flash file I'm working on?
Select Edit -> Edit Document to get out of the symbol editing mode and back to the file editing mode. If you doubleclick an object on the stage, rather than clickingit in the library, you open it up in editing mode on the stage, but the stage and everything else will still be visible behind it in a faded tone.

Context-sensitive help - where is the CS topic folder in the output files?

I have created a FlashHelpPro help file in RoboHelp 7 HTML. In the project setup pane, I have Map ID'd my context-sensitive topics and linked them to their respective pages. I generated the project, but there is no folder containing the context-sensitive topics in the output files. As a result, the developer suggested that I need to create a separate folder in the Project Manager that contains all the context-sentitive topics. Is this actually the next step, or can the developer find what he needs elsewhere in the files?
I haven't seen anything about creating a separate folder in the Project Manager, which seems redundant as there is the 'Context-sensitive Help' folder already present in the Project Set-up. Do I need to create a separate folder, as suggested by the developer? If not, where can he find the context-sensitive files in the output? Thank you.

Hi,
What do you mean that the context sensitive topics are not in the output? RoboHelp generates your output and (in WebHelp, so the same should count for FlashHelp) puts the context sensitivity in cshdat_webhelp.htm. Your developer doesn't need to worry about this, he just has to get his call right.
For information on calling the help, see http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm. It's for WebHelp but it should be the same for FlashHelp.
If your developer only wants to know which mapid's he has to call, you best give them your map files (the .h files).
Greet,
Willam
