Flash "Collection Item" metadata tag?

Hi!
While creating Flash components I am using metadata tags Inspectable and Collection. This two allow me to do everything I need, in most cases. But in Flash IDE using Component Definition panel you can define much more:
For me "Collection Item" support is much preferrable than [Inspectable(type="Object"...)], because white editing Collection I can specify enumerations and Booleans -- with Objects only text fields allowed. How can I specify it in my code? Is there any documentation about additional metadata tags supported in Flash IDE?

Where do you see the metadata tag injectors? That is not a documented Flex Metadata tag that I have heard of.
A lot of frameworks create their own and you should be able to use that in both Flex and Flash Pro [assuming an AS3 framework].
If you google on Custom AS3 Metadata in Flash Pro quite a few links come up. Here is one: http://patrickmowrer.com/2010/03/03/compiling-custom-as3-metadata-flash-professional

Flash CS5.5[Publish Settings]: How to include custom Metadata tags in swf?

In Flash CS5, the 'Publish Settings' for the fla had an 'Export SWC' checkbox that took care of that.
The option is missing. Why was it removed and how can that be done in 5.5?

Thanks sinious, but, it doesn't work.
Let me elaborate on what I want to do:
I'm trying to create a swf in Flash CS5.5, that's using a flex library (swc) that relies on Metadata tags (anotations).
I need to use the metadata tags in my as3 code (in the fla), and They need to be compiled into the swf (by Flash CS5.5 compiler...).
Although, when I load that swf, the metadata tags aren't compiled into it (I'm using describeType to check if tags are available in the swf).
In flex, I would use the '-kepp-as3-metadata+=' compiler setting to do that, in Flash CS4 & CS5 I used the 'Export SWC' in the publish settings, but that's removed (WHY???).
Checking XMP Metadata didn't change that, the tags are still not included in the compiled swf.
Anyone?

Flash CS4 IDE based project and embed metadata tags

I posted this in one of the other sub-forums before I realised this one was available.
I am moving over to using the Flex based embed metadata tags to import assets into my Flash CS4 IDE based project. This is working very well but I have hit one small problem - how do you now create a pre-loader? I've done the usual google to look for a solution and found many Flex based solutions and tried them all out but they do not appear to work from within a CS4 IDE based project - even when tried out on a web page.
Is there a solution to this?

I'm doing the same thing, it's great to have the embed function, but the swf loads all embed content before anything else. This for me makes the feature useless. I make games and game sites want everything in one swf, so making a separate swf preloader wont work for me. Hope Adobe creates a solution for this.
Here are my post on the subject:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/499997?tstart=0
and
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/499994?tstart=0
Also I submitted a feature request with Adobe, I suggest you do the same.
good luck!

How can I convert the metadata tags on my mp4s to xml files so that they can be read in Windows Media Center?

I have a library with almost 3000 movies and TV shows that I have fully tagged. However, I have decided to start using Windows Media Center and it does its metadata tagging through XML files. I wanted to know if anyone could tell me if there was a way to extract the metadata from those mp4s and convert them to a format that WMC could read? Thanks!!!!

iTunes can make XML playlists so it might be all you need, I made a simple one file playlist and exported it from iTunes. The result is shown below. In principle I could delete the playlist and the entry from the library, as long as I don't delete the file, then later reimport the XML playlist file. I haven't tested this particular scenario, but I assume that iTunes will read all the properties as listed unless it can read some kind of tag from the file itself in which case the current value of the tag would take precedence.
What I don't know is what media center would make of this file, or what its files look like, however assuming they have a similar structure that can be decoded then it should be possible to read data from the iTunes library and write out a text file that will make sense to media centre.

Move metadata & tags to original file

I installed PE 4.0 a year ago, and organized my many photos that I had taken since 2001. I always saved the original photo files to one master file, with subfolders by year that the picture was taken. I then would use the camera software to rename the files which I then saved in various folders (for business: by client name; and for personal photos: by event or subject). I did not have a lot of hard drive space, so I often backed up and copied files to off-line media. Now that I have installed a much larger hard drive, I have moved all of my photo files onto the hard drive. I would now like to take all of the metadata & tags associated with these copied photos (almost 10,000 photos) and move it to the original photo(s) so that I can then delete these copies of the originals that are spread all over the place. I could <GET> the original files and bring them into the collection. I could then retag and retype the information on every photo, over to the original file and then delete the copy. Does anyone have any suggestions on a faster method of moving all of this date to the original files?

I started by importing all of my existing photo files into PSE and tagging them and adding captions. Before PSE, I would download my photos using software that came with my camera. My first camera was a Kodak easyshare. It would download the files from the camera to a folder: "Image Transfer/Photos <year>/<date of download>/DSC00xxx.jpg". It would then open the files for editing. I would rename the photos and file them under sub-folders in "Business" and "Personal" folders. I backed up the original "Image Transfer" files frequently. When I installed PSE 4.0 a year ago, I imported the photos in the "Business" & "Personal" files, rather than the original files in "Image Transfer". At various times I have had corrupted files and had moved some photos without using PSE. I have "re-connected" several times, not always to the copy that was originally used, but sometimes to another copy stored elsewhere on the hard drive or sometimes to the original photo in "Image Transfer". In the process of adding a new hard drive a few months ago, I moved files and copied files and backed up files all over the place. I now have copies of all of my 10,000 photos in PSE, or should I say at least the thumbnails, with all of the tags and metadata. I have had to "re-connect" many of the files. I now have most of the thumbnails connected to a photo file, but often that file is a copy of the original and the copies are spread out over many files (the original "Business" and "Personal" files as well as various other copies or backups that I have spread over 3 hard drives). I would like to take each thumbnail and have it point to the original photo file (under "Image Transfer/Photos 200x/<date file originally saved>/DSC .......), rather than the copy. I could then get rid of all of these other files spread over the hard drive. Remember that the original files have no tags or captions. How can I get the tags, captions and metadata moved or copied from the copy over to the original? I hope that this is clearer.

Documentation of the FDS metadata tag

Better yet, this limitation no longer exists in 3.0.

The documentation is a bit misleading: we do support the order column in
relations. The only limitation is that you cannot have the one-to-many
optimization with the "inverse" attribute and use ordering at the same
time. But if you have a join table (or use Kodo's default generated
schema), then you should be able to specify ordering on your relations
just fine.

Hey Kodo,
I noticed your ordered and order-column extensions in the manual. I'd

collections but only for collections of simple values etc. Can you tell me
whether future versions of Kodo will support this, and if so, when?

Custom metadata tags?

I know that by tweaking the flex config files you can have
custom metadata tags and you can extract them with reflection (
describeType() )
But can this happen in flash?
Can they be substituted by a clever use of interface or
inheritance?

File a bug with a simple test case if there already isn't one. No
guarantees it will get fixed? Why can't you put the metadata on the class?

FDS destination metadata tag

Can anyone point me in the direction of information regarding
the <metadata> tag in an FDS destination?

Hi,
You need to call describeType for the Class. So, something
like this:
var theClass:Class =
ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition("mx.controls.Button")
as Class;
var desc:XML = flash.utils.describeType(theClass);
Then you need to extract the data you want from the XML. It
will help to dump out the XML for a couple class to figure out how
to get the Inspectable metadata that you want.

Using Content Query webpart for specific Document library with multiple managed metadata - Document with multiple metadata tags not showing up

Hi,
I am having an issue where when I insert a Content Query webpart into a page, and filter to managed metadata, all the right documents show up except one document that happens to have two metadata tags attached to it. The content query webpart is set
to only look through a specific document library. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Here is the one document with two metadata tags:
Below is the Content Query:

Hi,
As I understand, you did not get the results with multiple metadata tags through Content Query web part in SharePoint 2013.
Check things below:
1. Check if you have set the item limit more than the display items in Presentation section of the web part. If the item number more than item limit, the rest items will not show.
2. Check if the item you cannot find uses the content type you have set in the content type section of content query web part.
When you edit the properties of the item, you will see the content type the item is using.

My assistant and I are using two Lightrooms (i.e. two serial numbers) and need to share between our two computers. I provide originals to her onto a flash drive. She tags them and returns them to me. I then copy the photos from her flash drive onto my computer and load them in my LR. The photos appear but witthout any editing or tagging. We need to be able to have her working on the photos on her computer with her copy of LR and me on my computer with my version of LR being able to access what is already tagged and given back to me. This seems hard. We need advice on if it is at all possible to have two computers simultaneously working on LR . I bought her her own version because I was told at the time of purchasing that that was the only way to share. Please advise urgently! Thanks.

Sounds like your assistant isn't instructing Lightroom to write the tagging and editing to the files themselves, so wehn the files return to you, they don't have editing and tagging information. She need to select the photos in Lightroom and then Ctrl-S (Cmd-S on Mac). Or alternatively turn on the option to autmoatically write this information to the files.
If you are using RAW photos, then this information will be written to a sidecar XMP file, and your assistant must provide you with the sidecar file. If these photos are not RAW photos, then the information is written directly into the photo file itself.
Lightroom wasn't designed to be a multi-user program, and so it is truly not possible to have two people working on the same catalog at once. The way you are doing things, as modified above, is probably the way to go.
As an alternative, you can transfer (portions of) catalogs as well as photos back and forth and then all of these issues disappear, but a catalog might be rather large for a flash drive (or maybe not, it depends)

Question about the Before/After/Test metadata tags

i think that i have read all of the appropriate sections on the wiki but i am a little unclear on how/when i need to add extra info to the Before/After/Test metadata tags.
thus far, i have not done any unit tests that require a component to be added to the display list. i was reading the section on how to do that and i see that all of the above mentioned tags have extra info:
[Before( async, ui )], [After( async, ui )] and [Test( async, ui )]
what do those do and when/why do i need to use them?
thanks
additionally, i am trying to run this simple example derived from what's on the wiki and it always times out.
package HM.FO.User {
import mx.controls.Button;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import org.flexunit.Assert;
import org.flexunit.async.Async;
import org.fluint.uiImpersonation.UIImpersonator;
public class UserWindowPresenterTest {
//protected var window:UserWindow;
protected var button:Button;
[Before( async, ui )] public function setUp():void {
//this.window = new UserWindow();
this.button = new Button();
//Async.proceedOnEvent( this, this.window, FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, 20000 );
Async.proceedOnEvent( this, this.button, FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, 20000 );
//UIImpersonator.addChild( this.window );
UIImpersonator.addChild( this.button );
[Before( async, ui )] public function tearDown():void {
//UIImpersonator.removeChild( this.window );
//this.window = null;
UIImpersonator.removeChild( this.button );
this.button = null;
[Test( async, ui )] public function on_user_saved_clears_password_fields():void {
// this.window.pass_txt.text = "foo";
// this.window.pass_confirm_text.text = "bar";
// var presenter:UserWindowPresenter = this.window.presenter as UserWindowPresenter;
// presenter.on_user_saved( null );
// Assert.assertNull( this.window.pass_txt.text );
// Assert.assertNull( this.window.pass_confirm_text.text );
Assert.assertTrue( true );

Okay, so the async modified is used to indicate that the asynchronous statement will be used.
There is a bit of overhead adding async to tests, so, we don't actually instantiate the code that handles Async unless the async attribute is in the Before, After or Test. If you don't place the async in these tags [Test(async)] and attempt to use the async code. Async.whatever... you will get an error.
Regarding the ui, attribute, the same concept was intended to apply for ui elements... in other words we wouldn't build the necessary infrastructure.. that is an optimization and right now is not in play. so you will not see different behavior with or without the ui.
If I copy your code directly from below and paste it in my environment it passes.

Searching For Keywords embedded in metadata tags of PDF files

We have a large number of Adobe Acrobat PDF files that were converted from paper documents a number of years ago that we would like to store in OCS Content Services. They were bitmap imaged, so they are not OCR-readable.
We had already embedded keywords in the metadata tag fields associated with the PDF file, but the Ultrasearch Engine in OCS does not appear to "see" them. Is there anyway to tune Ultrasearch so that it can search these fields?
Thanks!
Mark

it calls for me to print out the line that the keyword is on. Is there an easy way to change what i already have to implement that or should i start from scratch again?Well, I haven't taken the time to read all your code to see exactly what you are doing, but it does look a little to complicated to me. I think I would simply read one line at a time from the file and search that line for keywords. This [url http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.io/ReadLinesFromFile.html]link shows the general structure.

Filter or Collection for Metadata State

When trying to save metadata, LR sometimes reports a conflict about a file having been changed by another program or other error. It is almost impossible to track down those conflicts as the only indicator of which images have the problem is the small indicator on the thumbnail.
I would like a filter or collection for metadata states. I am particularly interested in a) conflicts where LR believes the file was changed by another program, b) metadata not yet written to disk, c) any metadata errors.

And since some of these conflicts put the images in a state of constantly flipping between a metadata state of "Up to Date" and "..." and thus producing a memory leak, I too would love to easily isolate these images. If I sort them by edit time this more than likely will find the conflicts (which are completely false by the way since I do not edit or even view the DNG files in any other program) more quickly but the last time it was of no help. I have had to turn off the automatically writing of XMP to stop the memory leak and remember to save after each session.

Check two array collection items

hi guys
how to check two array collection items so that if any change
in any of the item i can update the datagrid
i already had refresh problem
any idea
karthik.k

If the AC is made [Bindable] and if it is being used as a
dataProvider for the DG changes to the AC should be reflected
automatically in the DG.
If you are trying to feed two AC into a DG and really want to
or need to do something manually, you can have a handler for the
collectionChange event and do the work there.
See FB3 help sys (or LiveDocs online) on
changeCollection.
