Flash Paper Toolbar Buttons

I use Flash Paper 2 regularly to print documents from
Microsoft Access. In Word and Excel there is a toolbar button for
Flash Paper but none in Access, and there is nothing available in
the list of tools to add to a custom Access toolbar.
Is there any way to get a toolbar button for Flash Paper in
other applications such as Access?
Thanks

Thanks Urami! This worked. However, there is still one set of
buttons that still don’t work. These buttons are programmed
to open a new window that is a specific size and has all the
toolbars and menu bars turned off. The html page that opens in the
window contains an swf file that runs a video.
Again, it works perfectly over the Internet or when I test
the html page from Dreamweaver on my PC, but the window will not
open when the button is pressed if the program is running from a
CD.
This program was originally created with Studio MX 2004 with
Flash Professional. With that version, the CD worked on Windows
2000 PCs but not Windows XP. We re-published the entire program
with Flash Professional 8. Once I fixed the file names as you
suggested, everything works except the buttons that open a child
window. Now these buttons in the Version 8 program don’t work
on a CD running on Windows 2000 either.
Here is the code that I have in Flash movie for the button:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:newWindow('videowin_turnassist.html')");
Here is the code that I have in the html document:
function newWindow(bookgif) {
bookWindow = window.open(bookgif, 'bookWin',
'toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=425')
bookWindow.focus()
I got this html code out of a reference book several years
ago and we use it all the time to open child windows from parent
windows.
I tried other code that I got out of an ActionScript book and
from the Help files, but I can’t get any of it to work at all
(not even from Dreamweaver).
Do you have any other suggestions for opening a specifically
sized child window that will run a Flash movie?
TIA
Diane

Loading Flash Paper swf causes all other button events to fail

Hi Everyone,
I have created a project with Flash which I am using Zinc to publish as a projector for both Macs and Pcs. Now, in this app I am loading a pdf document converted to a Flash Paper swf. The moment I load this swf file into my project, it appears as though all other button events fail. If I remove the code which loads in the flash paper swf, all buttons function as expected.
Can anyone please help me with a reason / solution for this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

Did that and there were no errors shown at any point, such as when publishing the .apk file.
I found a solution. I was under the impression I needed to use touch events for it to work on a tablet, and changing those to normal mouse events solved the problem. Still not sure why it wouldn't work the other way, but for now it works as needed.
Thanks!

Director and Flash Paper

Hi Adobe forums,
I've just about putting the finishing touches together for an
interactive CD at work using director 1.0.11. I've provided users
with a print button that then in theory should open the
corresponding flash paper file and then the user can just print out
what ever he or she wants.
Don't ask me why I used flash paper over pdf, it was
something new and I wanted to try it out. It works fine on my
machine but when I burn the projector and accompanying swf and xtra
folder to cd it won't work on other machines.
I'm guessing this is a Flash Xtra problem, but I've already
selected Flash Assest and Flash Asset Options X32 via modify >
movies > xtras but this doesn't seem to solve the problem. To
handle the opening of this file I've also downloaded and installed
BuddApi as well.
Here's the code I use to open the swf file:
property pFile
global gDelimiter
on getPropertyDescriptionList
description = [:]
addProp description,#pFile, \
[#default:"test.swf", \
#format:#string, \
#comment:"Type the full filename to open: Example: test.swf"]
return description
end
on mouseEnter me
-- sets the cursor to the hand
cursor 280
end
on mouseLeave me
-- sets the cursor to default
cursor -1
end
on mouseUp me
--- setting the file path to go to, you need to put your
folder name or file structure in.
--- the moviepath is the path to the actual .exe file. So you
just need to
--- add the structure from that point on. In the below case
there is a
---folder called "pdf_files" in the same directory as the
.exe
sPath = the moviePath & "swf_files" & gDelimiter
& pFile
--- & is simply appending each item, so it is appending
pdf_files to the
---existing path, and then appending
--- gDelimiter which is either a \ or : and then finally
appending the name of
---your file
baOpenFile(sPath, "Maximised")
--- buddyAPI command you will have to download and install
buddy API
---Xtra. It is free, do a google search for BuddyAPI and the
site will come
---up, simply download the appropriate version and place in
your Xtras
---folder.
cursor -1
end
If anybody could point me in the right direction I would be
very grateful.

Thats the strange thing, at work all machines are set up the
same way via an image ripped down to them when they are first
configured. Part of the standard desktop image is the Flash Plugin.
For some strange reason the .swf file isn't recognised on the
CD. Drag the associated file to the users computer and the file is
recognised.
I'll give the error reporting alert a try and feedback the
results. It might be that I just have to embed the Flash Paper
within the Director Projector.
If anybody else has any ideas I would be very grateful.

Flash paper -explorer 7

Has any one noticed that you can not load flash paper files
in internet Explorer 7. I loved converting word documents to load
directly and it worked fine until #7. The files load if you embed
them in an html file but not directly. Has anybody else noticed the
problem and figured out a solution? I have hundreds of files out
there that are going to no longer work when people load the new
explorer.
Thanks for your help

I have the same problem. Works perfect in other browsers. But
if you click the maximize button, it opens a new popup window as it
should, but it gets a javascript error and doesn't load. Example:
http://www.justiceforvictimsaz.com/sub/forms-brochures.html
(expand the forms section). ANy help would be GREAT! if not,
guess I'll have to do the PDF thing as well. Shame Adobe doesn't
want to support a wonderful product just because it use to compete
with PDFs.

Flash paper setSelection

Hi,
I just want to load a flash paper into my flash file. I got access to Flash API, I could resize and search text.

Q1). I have converted nearly 10 Docs to swf using FlashPaper 2.0.
And I want to externally load (runtime) these docs into a Main file (fla). And I will publish the main file as EXE.
Now, Coming to the main part. I could resize the loaded docs using "setSize" flashpaper API
(IFlashPaper interface).
But using the same IFlashPaper interface i could not "setTextSelectionRange(sel:SelectionRange, skipBroadcast:Boolean):Void;".
Q2). Do I have any option to change the colour of text for the selected texts??
Using selection tool in FlashPaper, I select a range of text. And I should have a button to change the colour of that text (selected).
Thank you.

Major Questions about Flash Paper 2.0

Ok, I've been fiddling around with flash paper 2 over the
last few days. Like it a lot for my non-technical users..however, I
have a few questions. Hopefully someone can answer soon. Ok, I have
a main swf and in there I'm using a script I found (person who
wrote it, last name: Whitehouse) on the Net which allows me to load
a flash paper file from within that main swf along with some
control on some interface features. Here it is:
onClipEvent (load) {
// function: loadFlashPaper
// Parameters:
// path_s: path of SWF to load
// dest_mc: Movie clip to hold the imported SWF
// width_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// height_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// loaded_o: (optional) Object to be notified that loading is
complete
function loadFlashPaper(path_s, dest_mc, width_i, height_i,
loaded_o) {
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function(){
dest_mc._visible = false;
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper();
if (!fp) {
return;
} else if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false) {
return;
} else {
clearInterval(intervalID);
dest_mc._visible = true; // Now show the document
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
// Function called once the FlashPaper SWF is embedded:
function onLoaded(fp) {
// We can now call the FlashPaper API functions.
// Remove the standard user interface features:
fp.showUIElement("PrevNext", false);
fp.showUIElement("Print", false);
fp.showUIElement("Find", false);
fp.showUIElement("Tool", false);
fp.showUIElement("Pop", false);
fp.showUIElement("Zoom", false);
fp.showUIElement("Page", false);
fp.showUIElement("Overflow", false);
fp.showUIElement("useHandCursor", false);
fp.enableScrolling(true);
// Some additional API features (here commented out):
// Go to page:
// fp.setCurrentPage(3);
// Change the magnification to 50%:
// fp.setCurrentZoom(50);
// Now we're ready to start
// Create the destination movie clip to hold the SWF:
var theDocMC_mc = _root.labserviceworkclip;
// Position it on the stage:
theDocMC_mc._x = 15.4;
theDocMC_mc._y = 211.8;
//theDocMC_mc.useHandCursor = false;
// Load the FlashPaper SWF into the clip,
// size it, and trigger the onLoaded() function:
loadFlashPaper("labservicework.swf", theDocMC_mc, 730, 510,
this);
//_root.miningprojectspopup.hidecontainer.loadMovie("19a.swf");
Now, is it possible to:
1.) Remove the hand curser?
2.) Remove the Flash Paper splash that appears before the swf
is loaded? Maybe replace it with loader bar?
3.) Control color of scrollbar (like you can on flash
components)
4.) The main swf is set to transparency, but if make
background color in Word doc a color, that color does not show up.
Why?
4.) In Word, I want to create multiple pages that appear
seamless when scrolling down in the swf file. however, can't to get
that to work. Has anyone tried this? I'm open to any option such as
using tables inside my Word docs (am trying that now but still not
working).
5.) I created an 8 page document in Word 2003 and saved it as
swf BUT am getting this "Printer Failed.." response. If I do pages
smaller in number, works fine. What's going on with that. I also
have installed CutePDF installed..could that be screwing it up?
6.) I want to include anchors inside the swf file so that at
the click of a button, I can automatically move the scroll up or
down. Any idea how to do that?
7.) I want to inlude links inside the swf file to navigate to
different frames inside main swf. Is that possible?
8.) When creating hyperlinks in Word to swf file, (yes, I
chose correct target frame), the page doesn't appear to open into a
new window. What's up with that?

First off I would recommend buying the non academic full version for $20 more because its worth it. So when Aperture 2.5 or 3 comes out, you do not have to pay the full price for it.
As for your library, make a backup if you want, but all you need to do after installing a licensed version of Aperture 2 is go to your previous library and then select "open with..." then chose Aperture 2 (default)
Once you do that you will receive a message stating that "once your library has been updated, it will not open in previous versions of Aperture, do you wish to continue?"
After you do that your library will be fully imported into Aperture 2 exactly as it was in the previous versions of the program.
Hope that helps.

Photoshop CC Toolbar buttons sticking.. getting stuck on single click

Toolbar buttons get stuck in dropdown menu with single click... it's extremely irritating especially being in photoshop all day. I have to click the intended tool button twice in order to get rid of the drop down menu options. I realize it should do this when I double click or hold down click.. but not when I simply want to select a tool with a single click. I've tried everything. Please help!

Try resetting the tools:
Also try changing the mouse settings such as double click speed..

Issue with custom toolbar button in alv and leave screen

Hi,
in one subscreen (say screen 100)i have an alv with custom ADD toolbar button..so in the user_command event handler ,i call a antoher screen(dialogue)..like if i click on ADD button ,it should display dialogue screen(say 200) and after entering input in dialogue screen i click on CONINUE to retrun to screen 100..problem is for the first time i click on ADD button its working fine ,succesffyuly returned to screen 100...but for the second time i click on add button , i have to click on twice the CONTINUE button to retrun to screen 100..when debuggin i found the user_command event routin is executin twice ..any solution..
Thanks,
srini

Apparently handler is set for every new ALV instance. This you get by executing CREATE OBJECT alv... every time PBO is raised. Ensure you are executing this statement only once duirng program lifetime. Then the system will match event handler only with one ALV instance (executing it once).
if r_alv is not bound.
CREATE OBJECT r_alv ...
SET HANDLER ...
endif.

Use a different device.
Adobe did not develop Flash for iOS devices and has ended all Flash development for all mobile devices.
You could try a different browser from the App store such as Skyfire or iSwifter.

Sample script to pop-up txt box on mouse-over on skin toolbar button?

RH9,WebHelp Pro
I am completely new to scripting. I have customised a toolbar button in the skin and while it is easy enough to place a hyperlink to be activated on click, I would also like to display a text caption when the user rolls over the button before clicking.
Can anyone provide or point me to an example of the required syntax?
Thank you.

Hi,
You have to modify the title attribute of the link. The browser will show that text when you hover the link. I believe that WebHelp uses the text of the button as the title.
If that doesn't work for you, you can use the onMouseOver event to show and hide a tooltip. Check out Walter Zorn's tooltip script: http://edwardsmark.com/proofOfConcept/walterZorn/ It has some good examples of how to set up the script.

DEEPLY upset w/rapid-fire updates 2 FF & TB. ex: michael b unable 2 update toolbar buttons; w/out them FF/TB just other apps. this method incredibly disconcerting, frustrating, etc. PLZ RECONSIDER METHOD; go back 2 version changes. annoyed w/mozilla, LA

i've been using [& updating] mozilla FF & TB for years...in large part cause i felt they were the best for my needs, allowed the most functionality...and then became the most attractive with personas. but i found a long time ago, as with most computer applications, to wait till the second version of a new product. this was especially true of mozilla to make sure the add-on developers can keep up.
the add-ons to FF & TB give me so much more functionality....so much better than any other browsers out there. and then there are the changing personas...too match one's changing moods. [all hail MaDonna and her constantly exquisite & innovated art work.]
but mozilla has now made continuing this functionality an impossibility by its new horrible rapid update methodology. because MANY DEVELOPERS CAN NOT KEEP UP with this pace of significant change, FF & TB have been become FAR LESS FUNCTIONAL...and thus more & more like other, previously lesser, browsers & email programs out there,
is this perhaps the clue to go take a look at chrome, safari, opera and other browsers?
using this "update" methodology, will mozilla become like its predecessor, netscape.....OBSOLETE.
or, as has happened with so many other software companies including netscape, many of its employees or contributors saw that they could, in fact, do a better job and so started their own companies, as in how mozilla was born.
we can only hope this will be the case with mozilla: that many of its contributors will band together and divert from the mess that the current mozilla exec team has created.
oh by the way, ff 3.6.19 has suddenly started to crash more often, which i dont understand. and TB has started to freeze. hmmmmm......???????
if i changed browsers, i'd sorely miss personas & the many add-ons i use to customize FF & T B...making them it a much more functional than i ever could have hoped for. but each updated takes so much time & effort and so many add-ons are lost each time anyway, i would also lose that functionality anyway with mozilla. so what's the difference? NADA.
for years i have been an ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORTER of all things mozilla, encouraging friends and coworkers to install and use it....often going out of my way to install FF & TB for many of them myself.
but as a result of the current "update" methodology by mozilla, i dont think updating FF & TB is worth it anymore so i stopped updating....both personally and professionally.
not only have i stopped recommending FF & TB, as the computer tech at an elementary school i no longer update FF or TB on the dozens of our existing computers that i previously installed them on and i no longer install it on our new computers. in fact, because the update situation in terms of add-ons has given some of my people such a headache, i have actually UNINSTALLED FF and TB on some computers...and, horror of horrors, they have actually gone back to microsoft internet explorer than risk what they have just gone thru with mozilla.
many on our staff are not so computer savvy so they depend on me for my computer advise and assistance.
each our classrooms has 2-4 computers, plus we have many more in our main offices, resource room, library, etc. we just ordered a 30-laptop mobile computer lab: i will make sure FF & TB are NOT installed on them.
our entire school campus has just had wi-fi installed. this will allow many on our staff to use their own laptops on campus. i will be discouraging them from installing FF or TB too.
JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS POSSIBLE DOESN'T MEAN IT IS THE RIGHT OR BETTER THING TO DO.
mozilla's exec team has failed to realize this...and for this reason alone i think they should all be sacked!!
just as some at netscape thought they could do a better job and formed mozilla, I PRAY some mozilla people will see the LACK OF MERIT in the current mozilla methodology and move out, starting a new browser company reinstating the functionality and sensibility that mozilla once had.
many developers can not keep up with this either....they also have lives, many of them very busy.
so this update method is unfair to developers and users. THIS ALL SPELLS INCONSIDERATION BY SMARTY-PANTS MOZILLA EXECUTIVE TEAM.
another problem at mozilla, getting more and more like evil microsoft in terms of DISALLOWING customer response.. i went to make a comment in another area, it would not even let me UNTIL I "UPGRADED" [if that's what it is] till the newest frustrating version. BOO HISS. BAD FORM MOZILLA
mozilla looks like it is replicating microsoft's outrageous methodology of updating its products AND treatment of consumers. but even ms doesnt do crazy updating too often. frequency of updating is way too much. OOOPPS....mozilla IS making the oft-hated microsoft look good. who could have thunk it.
or will mozilla end up going the way of netscape.......oblivion.
my frustration increases daily with mozilla's repetitious notifications to update to TB 6. not a chance until i can have MY michael b toolbar button add-ons.
as far as i am concerned the mozilla exec team has gone from stable & reliable to chaotic messiness. SHAME SHAME SHAME.

Create a toolbar/button in Acrobat 8.0

I am sorry for my rather simple title, but at this stage I do not know what I am looking for.
I want to give the possibility for someone using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 pro to be able to save a pdf document they currently have open into a database.
For example in Office this is simple, I created an addin that got the document or email as an object and I sent the object to my MS Access database. MS Access then saves the file somewhere and I upload the file with the known path.
But maybe there is a simple way maybe I can create a button that saves the pdf in a special place and then signals either the MS Access database or even a small .dll/exe I have that this button has been clicked and then this .dll/exe can wake up the MSAccess databae and tell it to do some work.
Any help would be greatl appreciated.

Ok so spoon feeding is not an option in this forum.
So could someone humour me with at least the "yes" word or "no" word.
I can create a toolbar button which will automatically load when Acrobat loads by making a Plug-in?
If my Target "Acrobat" family member is Acrobat Standard 8.1.5 (note not pro) I need to get the 8.0/8.1 SDK to help me?
My Plug-in is going to be written in Visual Studio 2005/2008?
I must learn/use C/C++ for my plugin language?
I will compile the .dll and then make it an .api file extension?
To give my .api to someone else I need only put it into the ...\Adobe\Acrobat\plug_ins?
This .api does not need to be registered (regsvr32) or something like that in the Windows registry?
I am sure that might lead to further questions but it is a good start so I know what to google to find out how to do it, and then get some sample code.

Plug-in toolbar button activation question

I'm not a plug-in developer and do not foresee becoming one, but I am trying to understand how Acrobat handles custom toolbar buttons that you add via JavaScript.
Im interested in the cEnable parameter that you can specify when using app.addToolbarButton. With it, you can specify a JavaScript expression that sets the value of event.rc to true or false to control whether the toolbar button is enabled or not. What Im trying to understand is when, exactly, does this expression get evaluated? In my testing, it seems as though it is triggered continuously, but I dont know what particular event(s) triggers it. It is not documented in the Acrobat JavaScript reference.
I tried reading through the plug-in related documentation in the SDK to see if I could figure out what event a plug-in would be likely to register for if it needed to be able to disable its toolbar button(s), but came up empty. If a plug-in wanted to disable a toolbar button in a similar manner, what event(s) should it be listening to?
What is Acrobat using to trigger the evaluation of the code specified with the cEnable parameter for app.addToolbar button? Speculations are welcome if not known.
Thanks,
George

> In that case the cEnable code is run when the button loads and each time a document is opened/closed in that view pane.
It's not just limited to that. Whatever event it is, it seems as though it is continually triggered. For example, if I set the cEnable code to be based on the value of a global variable, the button is affected immediately after I alter the global variable:
cEnable: "event.rc = global.myVar;"
Then, in the JavaScript console, if I execute:
global.myvar = false;
my button immediately becomes disabled. Something must trigger it, and I'm suspecting it's related to the ECMAscript/Forms plug-in and may not be an event that other plug-ins can be notified of.
George

So how do I REALLY get the toolbar buttons to just show icons (and not text)?

On my Bookmarks toolbar, my bookmarks "buttons" show icon AND text. I just want to show icon, not text. When I go right-click.....customize, the window "customize toolbars" opens. Down in the bottom left corner the "show" option dropdown is already set to "icons" (and only icons). But it's just not so. The toolbar buttons show icons AND text. If I cycle through that dropdown just for kicks, it doesn't change; I can choose "icons (only)" all day long, but the toolbar buttons still show text.

Either of the following Add-ons allow you to show icons only and/or to have multiple rows on the Bookmarks Toolbar. Set the options on either after installation.

The pdf security is not working in Flash Paper

Is anyone facing a similar problem.
The pdf security if applied with a passsword to select the
text & graphics, printing, etc does not work. It selects any
and every text in flash paper and pdf. Does anyone know how can one
prevent to copy any text or graphics ...

I have the same issue. My phone says the files are corrupt and they stay corrupt if I forward then from my phone. It like the phone checks for something in the PDF, when it never did before.
