Flash Forms data in the SWF Question

When you have hidden cfinput fields. The data that is
contained in them is
that in the SWF file. Can that data be gotten if the SWF is
decompiled?
Thanks!!

Thanks for replying. I said save to a separate file, not print. I just meant I tried printing from the form file, when that didn't work I saved the filled in form to its own file and tried printing that, still no luck.

Access the adobe form data in the workflow container for further processin

HI,
I am using HCM processes and Forms. I need to access the form data in the workflow container once the workflow kicks off.
I need to access these data as would need it for further processing in the workflow.
I know that TS17900110 allows to import form conatiner to
-> WF Container in the field name and value pair. But I need to access a lot more fields than what is in the task. Is there a standard task which allow to retrieve all the fields in the form in one task or do I need to develope a custom class to do that. If so could you please provide some clue as in how to code this specific requirement as i am somewhat new to OO ABAP.
Thanks...

hi,
in the livecycle designer under libary tab u have webdynpro tab--->choose submit to sap button and place it in the adobe form ur designing. u can use this button to trigger the code that u have written in webdynpro java.
for eg if u have
a value node details
and under that two value attr fname,lname
import the model (Insertdata---it has two import param fname and lname)u need for updating the data to r3 system.
in the ctrller have a method submit.Here write the code to insert fname and lname into the db.
IPrivateMyForm.IDetailsElement elem = wdContext.nodeDetails().currentDetailsElement();
Insertdata_Input input = new Insertdata_Input();
wdContext.nodeInsertdata_Input().bind(input);
input.setFname(elem.getFname());
input.setLname(elem.getLname());
try
wdContext.currentInsertdata_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
wdContext.nodeOutput().invalidate();
catch (Exception ex)
{ ex.printStackTrace();}
ul bind details to the datasource.
when u edit ur interactive ui element these attr(fname and lname) vl be visible under dataview tab u can drag and drop them to the form
now add submit to sap button in ur form.
this button correspond to the onactionSubmit dat u have written in the ctrller.
so wen u click this the data vl be inserted

Getting Flash form data as a variable?

Hi,
I really don't have any actionscript experience, so please
bear with me!
Is there anyway I can put an input box (like a form... you
know) into my flash project and have the info entered in it stored
as a variable? I need the user to be able to enter numbers and have
the flash project accept them as variables.
If I were doing this in Javascript, I would use parseint...
something like: var n1=parseInt(n1.value);
Now n1 is set to whatever number the user has put into the
input box.
I found that parseint also exists in actionscript, but it
didn't seem to have the same usage. Is there any way I can do this?
Or is it completely weird and impossible in Flash and I'm just
being silly?
Thanks

Hi Freddy,
If you know JS, then actionscript shouldn't be too hard for
you to pick up.
To achieve what you're asking, do the following:
1. Place a textbox on the stage and in the property
inspector, change the type to input text and give it an instance
name of myText.
2. Then, if you want to access the input data and manipulate
it you can type var myVar = myText.text;
This will create a string with the value myVar. If you want
it to behave as a number, you could say myVar =
Number(myText.text);
Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction.
Cheers,

Publishing .index Vs .swf How to make my file look like the .swf Question

Hi, I currenly have a site published where the domain is reading
www.mysite.com/index.html (example)
When I view this site the image is not centered and when I expand it in different browers it does not look good.
When I view the site by looking at it through the exact location of where I have the flash, for example www.mysite.com/index.swf It's exactly how I want it to look.
Is there a code I can put into the html where I can have the same look as the .swf but view it with the .index.html
For example when I am testing the .swf extension and change the size of the browers or expand it, the flash movie is always centered and looks great in every brower.
I was thinking of changing the domains link to the .swf file to solve the issue, but is by having the .html extension provide greater serach information. What is it nessary?

You seem to be confusing the .swf file with the Web page that the .swf file goes on. For Internet delivery you want the index.html web page.
You can "Publish" the page directly from Flash. Under the "File" menu, look for Publish Settings and review ALL the options before "Publishing" the swf.
If you don't understand them, Google for that specific option.
Also review "Flash scaling"
Here are examples of different scaling parameters available in the Publish settings. You can also add these parameters directly in the html (<param name="scale" value="noscale"). All the examples replace the actual Flash dimensions with 100% for both width and height (width="100%" height="100%"). These examples use the old <object> and <embed> to illustrate the different ways to scale Flash. Once you understand how it works I’d recommend that you use swfobject to place the Flash in your final project.
View the source code for each page to see the full code.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/exact_fit.html
"exactFit" scales the file to fit exactly within the confines of the screen, irregardless if the movie becomes consequently distorted. The original aspect ratio is not maintained. So round things are not round and squares are not square.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/noScale.html
"noScale" is the default setting, and causes the movie to be displayed at the originally designed dimensions.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/no_border.html
"noBorder" causes the movie to be scaled to what ever dimensions are needed to have no border surrounding the movie within the player, which consequently could result in some of the movie being cut off from view. In other words, the movie will maintain the original aspect ratio and will fill the screen completely. But if the movie has to be streched wider to fill both sides of the screen, it will also stretch taller, but then some of the top and the bottom of the movie may be cut off from view.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/show_all.html
"showAll" scales the movie to the size of the screen (which could cause pixelation if the file contains raster information), the difference between showAll and exactFit is that showAll mantains initial movie size proportions. Because it maintains the original aspect ratio, there can be space to the sides or the top and bottom. But everything always shows and they are not distorted. But notice the photo in the center, it becomes pixilated at larger screen resolutions.
The trickiest part of trying to go full screen is that it’s difficult to make the Flash wider without making it taller also, that is, to maintain the correct proportions or aspect ratio of everything on the stage. These methods are just simple scaling accomplished with html. There are also methods to dynamically scale the stage and it’s elements using Actionscript… but that’s a much more complex undertaking.

How to insert Adobe Form Data in the SAP backend?

Hi there,
I am very new to Adobe Forms. I am supposed to come up with a working scenario of inserting few form fields into the SAP backend. Is this done through a BAPI call? Or is there any other way for this to achieve?
I have downloaded trial version of Adobe LifeCycle Designer. But I don't know how to integrate this with the SAP system. Is there anything else that I need to install in my system?
Is there a document on how to configure all the installations for both local machine and the server (if any)?
Please help.....
[I went through the forum for this, but I did not get anything]
Warm regards,

Flash Navigation Not Working (the swf works, but the external links don't)

I used Illustrator and Flash Catalyst to make a navigation bar for my website, but it's not working... I click links and nothing happens. I click one of the links to the sub-menu (the "careers" button and "advertising" button go to other menus) and those work fine, but the links themselves aren't working, even though they were when I first uploaded it...
I've double and triple checked, and they all have the right links associated with them in FC, so any ideas on what I should do to fix it?
The site: http://www.sorean.net
ALSO: Anyone not using Firefox, if you could see if they work for you, I'd much appreciate it.
Anyway, you click on the logo to bring the main menu back up if you're in a sub menu... But I've had to put text-based links above the navigation so that it wouldn't be a huge inconvenience while I'm trying to make it work.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
- Amanda

I figured it out... I was trying to use the navigation on multiple layers (sub-folders) of my site, but putting a full URL makes the external links NOT work
like "http://mydomain.com/file.swf" instead of just "file.swf" but when I changed it to NOT include my domain, it works great. ... SO, I did have to put a copy of the swf in each sub-folder, but that's ok, 'cause as long as it works, I'm good. I'm so excited.

How to use javascript to "save as" using form data in the file name

I want to be able to use a button to "save as" and have it automatically pick up and use certain data from the fields in the file name. without having to manually type in the file name.
Name: john doe
Date: 1-25-13
file name would be (john doe 1-25-13)

You will need two parts for this. A folder level script (which you place in a .js file under the JavaScripts folder of Acrobat), and a script embedded in the file itself (probably attached to a button).
The folder-level script will look like this:
var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function(oDoc,cPath) {
    app.beginPriv();
    try {
        oDoc.saveAs(cPath);
    } catch(e){
        app.alert("Error During Save");
    app.endPriv();
The doc-level script can look something like this (of course, you might need to adjust the names of the fields used):
var filePath = this.path.replace(this.documentFileName, "");
var newFileName = this.getField("name").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("date").valueAsString + ".pdf";
mySaveAs(this, filePath+newFileName);
You should be aware that several characters are not allowed in the file name, including comma's, forward- and back-slashes, line-breaks and excalmation marks, so if you try to use them the script would fail. It is possible to create a more advanced version of this script that will automatically remove such characters from the file-name, or alert the user if they used them.

How to validate date fields in the flash form

i want to validate the date fields to make sure the values
are not greater than today's date and from-date is less than or
equal to to-date in the flash form. Does the actionscript have a CF
DateDiff function for the validatation?
Thanks

I finally (after much reading up on actionscript) figured out
my problem with date validation...which was similar to yours...
I posted the solution I found for my AS date validation issue

How to save form data as XML using Reader XI

Dear all,
I have designed a form using live cycle designer 9 and activated the form extensions using Acrobat X Pro.
The form includes an email send button.
Our clients uses the Reader X and XI.
Using Reader X the pressing of the button will open a dialog box asking the user to send the form/form data using the default email client
OR
one can save the form data as xml file on the local machine and attach it later.
However, using Reader XI there is no such possibility of saving the data as XML. One can just chose between the default email client or another email account.
I tried even a button using javascript xfa.host.exportData("",0); but nothing. In fact the button shows no function at all.
What do I wrong?
Does anybody has a hint please?
Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty impressed of Adobe and their stuff (I do NOT refer to the community), how helpful they are.
Perhaps I didn't understand the meaning on the offical customer support website, stating:
The best way to contact us...
Ask our experts

Even worst, their is a similar question from 25/09/2013 (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5711946#5711946) and no feedback form Adobe stuff at all.
Great service guys!

Form Data and Automation

I have a few questions about collecting data and automating a process with a form. I've created a sample form to illustrate my questions.
I would like to create a PDF form which could be distributed among workers at an office. I'll send the form to the office manager and won't know how many people will use it or how many times it will be distributed. I realize I could create a webpage form to accomplish the same thing but I don't to require users to go to a website, register, and then submit the form. I think a form (if feasible) may be more user-friendly considering the users.
Questions...
1. I'd like the data to be collected in a database on my server. This shouldn't be an issue in a stand alone form but how would the following criteria effect this?
2. When the data is stored into a database on my server, this triggers an automatic email to whatever company was checked under #1 (lite pink). Could a copy of the form be sent to each company sent without disclosing the other companies solicited? Only part of the form is visible? With comments, you can display but not print. Is there a way to use these capabilities for something like this?
3. I'd like capture who's using the form so info in 2, 3, and 4 (red). Its important for me to collect feedback from the user on the effectiveness of this form. Did the companies reply with a price?
4. I would like the companies to answer specific questions about their product (yellow). For example, specific price, warranty or delivery. Sometimes when asking companies for this information, they may or may not provide all this information in their response. By using this form as the platform for their response, the company would need to answer the specific information. So, can this form then be sent back to the user after completed by the company?
5. The company my want to attach a written proposal along with the information on this form (green). Can they attach to the form?
I assume other systems will need to be developed in conjunction with the PDF to accomplish this wishlist. Essentially, i want the PDF form to be the conduit for communication back and forth between the parties and I want to capture the data behind the scenes in my server. This may be outside the realm of possibilities of the PDF form and more appropriate through a website but a form with this group would be more user friendly and used more frequently. They wouldn't have to bookmark a website, register with a name and password, or seek out this website. The PDF sits on their desktop.
Any thoughts on one or more of these questions would be appreciated.

A PDF form can be set up to submit to a web server, so what you outlined can be done with a PDF form. Most of what you need will have to be done server-side, so someone will have to write the program on the server that pocesses the incoming submissions and takes appropriate action.
You can set up certain fields to be required so that if they are not completed, the user won't be able to submit the form.
To include attachments, there are basically two options.
1. Set up a field to work like a HTML file upload field. This involves a bit of JavaScript in the form: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.734.html
If using this method, it might be best to submit as "HTML" and process the form as though it were an HTML form, with the exception of the response (usually FDF) that must be returned. There is a lot of mature code/libraries available for processing HTML forms.
2. Set up the form to submit the entire PDF, as opposed to just the form data. This requires that the PDF be Reader-enabled, which allows Reader users to attach a file as a comment and submit the PDF form + attachment. The problem is the server-side processing become more difficult since you have to find a way to extract the form data from the PDF. If everyone will be using Acrobat, or Reader 11 (or later, presumably), then the document does not need to be Reader-enabled
There's more to know, particularly in dealing with security and the client-side issues relating to how Acrobat/Reader respond when submitting and receiving a response from a web server, but I hope this can get you started.

Flash Forms Not Appearing

I have an intranet web site on a server that I manage. I have
flash forms up and running on a daily basis.
I just recently added another website to the same box, with a
new IP Address. I copied the Flash forms over to the new site, but
none of them work.
The error I get is "lc_id is undefined". on line 175.
There is no lc_id in any of my databases, or any of my cfm
pages. There never has been. I suspect this is an internal file
used by the flash form. Heck, none of the pages in question even
have a line 175!
Is there something that I need to turn on in IIS to get Flash
to work on the new site? Permission changes perhaps?

Fixed.
I just had to copy my CFIDE directory from the working site
to the new site.

Access the SWF loaded by a SWFElement?

Is there a way to access the SWF loaded by a SWFElement? For example in a plugin, load a SWF, then pass data to the SWF and or listen to event broadcast by the SWF.

Well we got it working. Excluded classes make the framework really frustrating at times.
What we ended up doing is creating a new media element that extends MediaElement and just did our own loading and then applied the Loader/DisplayObject via a DisplayTrait.

Should i use flash to create/edit an swf interactive online book?

Hello I'm new to Flash; as Indesign limits what I can do in terms of sound for interactive swfs (specifically I need an mp3 player/controller that would allow a reader to control a number of sound files from any page of the swf), would flash be a suitable program for creating such a book? The aim is to upload the final swf to a website for viewing online.

Just a follow up if you don't mind... My main issue is with an mp3 file I placed in indesign, opting for a floating controller; the problem is that the controller is huge and the file stops playing on page turn, and I can't change either of these things from indesign. Can I make these changes in flash or flash builder while preserving the swf document as it is? Or should I restart the project from within flash? Ideally I'd like to use indesign to create ebooks with interactive audio, and edit them in flash to give them an interactive transcript feature that indesign can't do. Is this a reasonable workflow?

How to retain form data with cfpdf flatten option

I created an intertactive form from an existing pdf using
Acrobat 8.0/Live Cycle designer. Now I am trying to use it in my
application where I use cfpdfform tag to first populate the pdf,
and then create a flattened copy of the form using cfpdf
action="wrtite" flatten="yes" command. But when I flatten the form,
the form data is lost. This does not happen with other government
forms like Form I-9 or W-4 that could be downloaded as interactive
forms from their respective sites.
I came across this article through a Google search
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_p-q_02.html.
If you scroll down about half the page you will see this:
"You can use the cfpdf tag to assemble interactive PDF form
files into a single PDF document and flatten forms created in
Acrobat (by using the flatten attribute with the write action);
however, to process PDF form data, use the cfpdfform and related
tags. You cannot use the cfpdf tag to flatten forms created in
Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES."
This is confusing - why can't the forms created in LiveCycle
be flattened? What other tools we have to create interactive forms
that can be flattened with form data?
Please assist me with your pointers and responses. Would
appreciate an early reply.
Thanks very much.
Raj

Here's how I did it. LiveCycle form does work in ColdFusion. It even includes an image wich works untill I flatten the form.
