Flash Variable with FileXtra4

Hi I'm wondering how to use flash variables with director mx
2004 or 11. What I need to do is open external photo from my app
(cd-rom). I try with fileXtra4 to launch the external photo but I
dont know how to tell director to launch the selected image wich is
call (selectImg) flash variable. It normaly refering to something
like that: "2E-AF3-IMG1.jpg" depending of selectImg value. I found
this script on the net but to make it work with a variable instead
of a specific file name.
instance = new(xtra "filextra3")
result = fx_FileOpenDocument(instance,the moviepath &
"Img_2.jpg") <-- replace Img_2.jpg by selectImg (Flash
variable).
if result = 0 then alert "Sorry, no app is on the system to
open JPEG files"
thanx Normally I use getUrl in flash but within a director
projector it's not working.

Good I finaly manage to make it work.
I was using sprite("Rapports").selectImg and its doesnt work.
If I use sprite(1).selectImg it work. Seem to only work with
sprite number
heres the code.
on AGRANDIR
global gAgIMG
gAgIMG = sprite(1).selectImg
instance = new(xtra "FileXtra4")
result = fx_FileOpenDocument(instance,the moviepath &
gAgIMG)
if result = 0 then alert "Désoler aucune application
associée aux fichiers JPEG est présente sur votre
ordinateur."
end

  • Updating Flash Variables with JavaScript

    I am looking to update a Flash Variable that I created in my Xcelsius Component by using JavaScript.
    I would like to know if this is possible and if so an example would be great.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Christopher,
    This is possible.  To get a brief idea of what FlashVars look like in the HTML:
    1) In Xcelsius, add a FlashVar connection and bind it to a range
    2) Export your project to HTML
    3) Open the HTML in notepad and notice the FlashVar properties in the Object and Embed tags.
    Basically your JavaScript  will control the variable that go into your FlashVar parameters. I have attached a basic example for you.
    In this example, the value input updates the flash variable which is linked to the gauge component.
    Best regards,
    Jon Teopaco

  • Flash Variable is not working in Ipad

    Hi Experts,
    I'm facing with an issue, could you please suggest me your valuable suggestions.
    I have created Two dashboard (Example names A1 and B1), I need to open the dashboard B1 without asking credentials, when I select an Image in A1.
    To work in such a way, I have created a flash variable and pointed the range to cell J1.
    I have placed a URL button on top of image in Dashboard A1. I have copied following URL in a cell, and this URL I have pointed to URL Button.
    URL= (="../../../Xcelsius/opendoc/documentDownload?iDocID=M1TVABCADjs2AHoAlg123AAgoBpgwAAAA&sIDType=CUID&CELogonToken="&J1)
    Opening B1 dashboard from A1 is working fine in desktop and in Android tab, but it is not working in Ipad. Not working in Ipad in the sense a new browser window is opening with empty page.
    I have tested in another way like, passing opendocID and Flash variable to the URL button, It is working fine in Ipad but asking for the credentials.
    Experts could you please suggest me some solution.
    Ipad is Ipad2 and BO Version is 4.1 SP4.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hello,
    You hyave to use the special flash variable "CELogonToken"
    Would request you to check http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-36362   this is a SCN document
    with title "Step by step way to create parent child dashboard in BI 4.0/4.1 using flash variable".

  • Pass flash variables to server - the best way?

    I am using URLVariables at the moment to pass flash variables to the server via php script and update a database rows.
    var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
    At the moment around 9 variables are sent which are then updated in the mysql db.
    I have read that calls to the database via php are the main source of traffic or at least one of them. I am talking about 100 - 500 concurrent users.
    Obvously I am going to need expert help medium term but I would like to give things a go myself.
    I have read about amfPHP but I don't seem to understand it too well.
    Also, I can cut down the amount of php calls per user as I have them all over the place for lots of games and mini exercises.
    BUT is it possible to get those nine variables into an object and pass the object. Would one object be faster than passing 9 variables and would that object be placed into one cell of the mysql databse.
    What would that look like? At the moment I can read my db easily but if there is an object in there, how do you read that?
    Is that what serializning is? Passing an object and all the data is converted to binary etc...
    As you see I'm a little lost.
    Thanks in advance.

    Just my two cents.
    URLVariables is one of the ways to construct url query. There is no difference in doing it either way (second way is faster):
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/page.html");
    var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
    variables.var0 = 3;
    variables.var1 = "blah";
    request.data = variables;
    sendToURL(request);
    OR JUST
    sendToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/page.html?var0=3&var1=blah"));
    I guess object serialization will be less efficient because, I suspect, it will be a larger string and it is much more processor intensive of both Flash and server side.
    I also suspect that http servers have a very efficient way to parse and process requests and variables that come with it - after all this is server's first and the most important duty.
    My point is that I don't believe there is anything better than sending data with query string unless there is a need for obfuscation.
    As a proof - the fact that large volume and frequent updates sites like advertising servers never use anything but plain old query strings attests to the above points.
    As far as DB updates speed goes - it has nothing to do with the means info is sent but rather is a consequence of server and DB performance aspects. It's just a matter of money :-)

  • Using Flash Variables in Excelsius

    Dear Experts.
    I have a dashboard in Xcelsius which has multiple sheets(60 Sheets) where navigation to every other page is done using the push buttons " Back and Next ". This functionality is working fine without creating any issues. Now, the customer wants to print the various sheets at one shot. But, this functionality cant be incorporated in Xcelsius as we can print only one sheet at a time. Hence they decided to use Crystal reports to build the whole functionality again. Now, i thought of a solution where, if we could pass Flash variables for the push buttons from Xcelsius to Crystal reports 2008 and embed this particular SWF into CR, then we could somehow build these different sheets in CR and get the print out at one shot.
    Please give me tips on how to use the Flash Variables both in Xcelsius and Crystal Reports.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Kishan

  • Flash variable being overridden by hidden value?

    --I am doing something painfully simple - My dashboard has a single-cell flash variable; the site.  It is located in A1 on the only sheet in the workbook and is a named range/cell.  I have gone into connections and set up the Flash Variables connection, pointing it at that named cell.  The cell was originally prepopulated with a default value, but that has been cleared and the cell is now empty.
    The problem is that when I try to pass my flash variable, using the simplest of all possible HTML, the dashboard immediately switches back to the original default value.  NOTHING I pass it will override this value; If I pass it another site name it ignores it. 
    What should I be looking for here?  Is there somewhere that it takes a default entry for the flash variable (other than the field)?  If so where?  Could it have tucked that default away in a corner somewhere?  If so where and how do I get rid of it?--
    Nevermind - someone had pulled a selection object off to the side of the page and it was hidden.  Found and removed.

  • How to change flash size with ac3?

    I want to change flash size with xml. Sample config.xml
    <genGenis>300</genGenis>
    <genYuksek>100</genYuksek>
    My flash read xml and change size to 300 * 100
    After working in a flash I want to change the default values. Is this possible?

    Have you worked with XML before? You're going to need to load that XML file and wait for it to complete. After you do that, are you using layout logic based on these values to create your content? Meaning do you have code in place to realize you have (as you said) 500x200 space so your code is able to use the space available effectively? Or do you just expect the content of the SWF to scale automagically?
    As for the loader, you can use a simple URLLoader to load the external XML file. Here's a quick Adobe code snippit and explaination on how to load it:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7e6a.html
    Once you have the XML in an XML object you can just access the value via the XML variable name you make (e.g. myXML) with the name of the node while getting its text value. In your case you'll need to convert it to a Number because you may want the flexibility of using fractions (e.g. 1.5, 500.25, etc). So you'd need to case the value to a number. So to get the width it'd be like: var myWidth:Number = Number(myXML.genGenis.text()); and same for height just changing the variable and node name as needed.
    Now that you have your values you can write layout code to use the numbers and handle the content creation yourself.
    If you don't do that, as Andrei1 mentioned you'll need to affect the object embedded directly using ExternalInterface (Flash AS3 talking to the webpages JavaScript) requesting the object be resized to the new size.
    You'll want to make sure your stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT; or stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER; so your SWF content is "stretched" to the size you request. Exact fit will allow the content to distort if necessary to fill the width and height. No border will scale the content to the size specified but will maintain the aspect ratio. It's up to you whichever you want.
    If you have any specific questions on any of this just ask.

  • Error while creating a Characteristic Variable with Replacement Path

    Hi all,
        I am trying to create the Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT (Low Date') with Replacement Path on characteristic ZSTARTDT (Start Date) and it gives the error 'Source to replace 'Low Date' is not defined.
       I have created a User Entry Variable VAR_DATE (Start Date) with interval like '01/01/2009 - 01/15/2009'  and  Customer Exit variable ZVCPDAY (does some calculation based on the input of VAR_DATE) on the same ZSTARTDT characteristic. I want to get the 01/01/2009 (lower range date of the selection) into this Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT. We are in BI 7.0 and the following are it's properties:
    General Tab:
    Description: Low Date
    Technical Name: ZVLOWDT
    Type of Variable: Characteristic Value
    Processing by: Replacement Path
    Reference Characteristic: ZSTARTDT Start Date
    Details Tab:
    Variable Represents : Single value
    Variable is: Mandatory
    Variable is Ready for Input : unchecked
    Replacement Path Tab: Replacement Rule
    Replace Variable with : Variable
    Variable : VAR_DATE
    Replace with : KEY
    Why I am getting this error, PLEASE ?
    Thanks,
    Venkat.

    Hi Khaja,
       We could derive a Variable value from another Variable with out Customer Exit. There is a white paper.
    First have the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'. Next create the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path for which source variable will be ZV_X and we could get the 'FROM Date' (01/01/2009) from the selection (ZV_X) into it (ZV_Y).
    While creating the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path, I didn't find my newly created ZV_X variable in the list of available variables under 'Variable' header in 'Replacement Path' tab and it is causing the error  'Source to replace variable ZV_Y is not defined'. How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path, PLEASE ?
    Thanks,
    Venkat.

  • BW 3.5 - Issue with formula variable with replacement path

    Dear experts,
    I'm facing an issue with formula variable with replacement path.
    Just to clarify, I know replacement paths is raising a lot of questions but I've been using this functionnality extensively in the past, both in 7.0 and 3.5, so I'm not looking for basic information about how to use it.
    I'm trying to setup a simple report that would show total values per plant of Purchase Order < 100 €
    To do so I've setup a calculated key figure as follow:
    VAR1 * ("PO value" < 100 ) * "PO value"
    VAR1 is a formula variable with replacement path on 'purchase order' and value attribute 'constant =1'.
    (The report has to show values summarized by plant but should not show the detail PO by PO, so I'm not looking at a solution based on condition)
    The report as characteristic "plant" in rows and my CKF in columns.
    Now let's take an example. I have 3 POs in Plant 1:
    PO1 -> 150€
    PO2 -> 90€
    PO3 -> 80€
    Because of the variable with replacement path, the result in my query should be:
    plant1 = 170 (even though characteristic "purchase order" is not in my rows, system should evaluate PO one by one and return values only for those two that are below 100).
    But the result coming is 320, which is wrong.
    I've done the same report on many other 3.5 systems and it worked perfectly, and I am not able to get proper support from SAP OSS who keep saying that this functionnality is not ready in 3.5 (although I've provided screenshot of this working on another 3.5 system!!! how frustrating...)
    They have also pointed to problems of Before and After aggregation but that has absolutely no impact. Once again, the scenario is working perfectly on other 3.5 systems with the same query design, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with Query Designer options.
    Would anyone have ever come to an equivalenet problem? I'm wondering whether the DB itself could not play a role in the variable with ref  characteristic 'constant =1' ...
    Any though is welcome!
    thanks

    Hi,
    The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
    To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.
    Regards,
    Patricia

  • Variable with Replacement Path

    Hi, I have two queries. The results of the first one should be the input for the second one. E.g. the first query shows a list of personnel numbers and additional information. These personnel numbers shall be overtaken by the second query. The personnel numbers belong to "Dimensions" in the Query Designer. I alread tried to create a variable with replacement path to the dimension personnel number. I implementet this variable in both the first and the second query (under: "rows"). It`s no "Formular variable" and no "Calculated Key Figure" but a "Characteristic Value Variable" of a Dimension. The problem is now that I cannot execute any of the two queries. The error "Abort the query cannot be released for OLE DB for OLAP. System error in programm CL_RSR_REQUEST and form PREPARE_VQUERIES:INVALID_
    What is my mistake? Thank you in advance! Eve

    Hi Eve,
    It is possible to connect the 2 queries using a Replacement Path characteristic variable. You would need to create the variable on the char whose values you want to pass from Q1 to Q2. The variable will be of type replacement path and you will need to enter the name of Q1 from which it will get the values. Make sure that you include this char in the query definition of Q1 and Q2. In Q2 you will restrict the characteristic using this variable. DO not use this variable (replacement path) in Q1.
    In your query properties check if you have turned on the checkmark for Release for OLE DB for OLAP (3rd tab). If the check mark is there, then remove it.
    We are using the scenario in a couple of places, and it works very well.
    Hope this helps...

  • Creating Variable with Replacement Path to get value from ANOTHER Variable

    Hi all,
        Is anyone has created the Variable with Replacement Path to get the value from another User Entry Variable, PLEASE ? 
    First created the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'.

How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path for my requirement, PLEASE ?
    The following is from help.sap..com:
    Replace with Characteristic Value
    Text and formula variables with the processing type Replacement Path can be replaced with a corresponding characteristic value. In the variable editor, on the General tab page, you specify under Reference Characteristic the characteristic that is to be referenced by the replacement. On the Replacement Path tab page, you can choose whether the variable is replaced with the From or the To Value and with the Key or the Name of the characteristic value. You can also specify the Offset Start and Offset Length for the output.
    Replace with Variable
    Characteristic value variables, hierarchy variables, text variables, and formula variables with the Replacement Path processing type can take their values from a different variable.
    The following prerequisites need to be fulfilled:
    Variable
    ●      The variable must not be input-ready
    ●      The variable must represent a single value
    Source Variable
    ●      The source variable must not be a hierarchy node variable
    ●      The source variable must be input-ready
    ●      The source variable must be available in the query
    ●      The source variable must represent a single value or an interval
    In the variable editor, on the Replacement Path tab page, you specify the source variable from which the value is to be determined. The value is either determined from the key, the external attribute of the key, the description, or the attribute value. You can specify an Offset Start and an Offset Length for the output here. The variable is replaced on the variable screen upon each data release.

  • I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help?

    I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????

    Prep your new drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

  • How do i use a flash gallery with xml file

    Hi there....
    I am trying to include a flash banner template i have downloaded into my webpage using dreamweaver CS5.
    the template comes with an XML file with it in which you can reference your own images etc..
    I understand how to inclued the Flash object into my webpage by insert-swf- and then navigating to the .swf file...
    what i am having trouble with is understanding how this refereces the XML file in the download pack as i cant find any references to it in the code??
    I am just getting the grey flash box with no images appearing when i hit play etc..
    sorry if this is a really silly question!!
    mart

    If you are using DW to insert the Flash, that could be the problem.  It is not reliable resource in that respect (my opinion, but a shared one). I normally only use Flash to create the code and copy/paste it into my html page.  Did you get an fla file with the set, and do you have Flash?
    What you should do is test the swf file by itself to make sure it works.   Normally you can link directly to the swf file to check that out.  Just type in the url to the swf file and see if it plays.  There may be some other setup required that maybe an accompanying set of instructions might explain.
    Also, if you have a link to the html file you uploaded, providing it here may help in getting things resolved.

  • Grey Screen with Flashing Folder with Question Mark

    Hi,
    I need some help with an issue I'm having on my Mid-2012 Macbook Pro (13"; OSX 10.9.2; 8GB RAM).  I've had issues with this Macbook for the past year.  I've worked with Apple Support and had it into the Mac Store prior to the warranty expiring (Dec 2013).  I have the exact same model with all of the same specs that my employer purchased at the same time for work as my work computer, and I haven't had any issues with that one.
    Previously, the system would slow down excessively and eventually start hanging. Occasionally the screen would start flashing.  Apple phone support had me wipe the hard drive and re-install the OS and all of my file, apps, and setting from my Time Machine backup.  That worked for about four months, and then it started again. Since it was getting close to the warranty expiration, I took it to an Apple Store. They ran a bunch of diagnostics, said the hardware was all fine but the OS needed to be re-installed.  They did that in early Dec, and everything was cool again until about three days ago.  Three days ago, it started slowing down and freezing again (even when doing non-memory intensive tasks such as broswing the web with only a couple of tabs open and no other applications open).  Last night, it froze hard and wouldn't shut down, so I had to cold boot it.  When I tried to power it back on, it came to the grey screen with the flashing folder with the question mark (which I know means it can't find the boot sector).  I waited until this morning, and it stil wouldn't boot. I then rebooted into Startup Manager, and the HDD was there. I selected the HDD, and it booted fine and ran fine for a couple of hours (I was able to do a Time Machine backup).  Then it froze up solid again. I waited for an hour or so before cold booting (don't like doing that), and when I tried rebooting, I got the flashing folder with the question mark. I tried booting into the Startup Manager again, but this time, my HDD wasn't listed. I then booted into the OSX Recovery utility (CMD R on boot), went into the Disk Utility hoping to do a disk repair, but my HDD wasn't listed. I have an external SATA to USB adapter, so I pulled the HDD, hooked it to a USB port on my other (identical except it doesn't have problems) Macbook Pro.  Once my other Macbook booted, the HDD from the bad Macbook Pro showed up fine.  I ran a verify and repair disk on the HDD from the bad Macbook, and it didn't show any issues.
    So I figured I'd be really brave. I took the HDD from the bad Macbook Pro and put it in my work (good) Macbook Pro (I took the HDD out of my working work Macbook Pro).  It booted fine.  I then did the verify and repair disk (again no errors) and verify and repair permissions (it found a few, but no more than it has in the past). I ran it that way for about an hour with no issues. That led me to believe that the HDD for my personal Macbook was fine, and it must be an issue with the SATA cable or the mainboard. 
    Here's where it gets odd.  I put the HDD from my work Macbook Pro into the bad Macbook Pro thinking it wouldn't even recognize it.  It did recognize it, and it booted fine.  I ran it like that for about 30 minutes.  It did have a couple of short freeze ups, but it didn't lock up solid. I didn't want to push my luck and possibly damage the HDD for my work Macbook, so I shut down the bad Macbook Pro ended the experiment at that point.
    I put the original HDD back in the Macbooks where they originally came from. I then ran the Apple Hardware Test (press and hold D on startup) on the bad Macbook Pro; I did the extended testing option. It ran for about an hour, but it didn't find any issues with the bad Macbook Pro. 
    I put the HDD from the bad Macbook back in my working Macbook and wiped the disk and reinstalled OSX from a Time Machine Backup from last week (before the problems occured).  Put it back in the bad Macbook and still no luck. Finally I tried resetting the PRAM because I saw that as one of the options on this discussion board. 
    I've searched and read everything I can find related to this, but I can't find anything that works, and I'm at my wits end.  Can anyone point me in a direction of what might be wrong and what else to try?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    You performed thorough and methodical troubleshooting, and this appears to be the most important result:
    I put the HDD from my work Macbook Pro into the bad Macbook Pro thinking it wouldn't even recognize it.  It did recognize it, and it booted fine.  I ran it like that for about 30 minutes.  It did have a couple of short freeze ups, but it didn't lock up solid.
    Given compatible hardware, you ought to be able to swap hard disk drives in exactly that manner, so it shouldn't surprise you that it worked. However, installing the "known good" HDD in the problem machine should not have resulted in any freeze-ups at all.
    You can conclude the hard disks (both of them) are serviceable and whatever fault exists probably lies elsewhere. Often the SATA cable is damaged or not seated properly, and is likely to fail more than anything on the logic board. Inspect the logic board's SATA connections and make sure there are no contaminants or damage. The two drives and two logic boards are going to have slightly different component tolerances, so perhaps the defective one is simply exceeding some limit.
    Apple Hardware Test is very cursory and essentially tests for the presence of operable hardware. It is far from an exhaustive test, and only a report of a failure can be relied upon for accuracy. For a more thorough test you would need to have Apple evaluate it using the time-consuming Apple Service Diagnostics. Even then, they may come up without a clue, and eventually someone will suggest a logic board replacement which can be expensive.
    It is an unusual problem, and I don't know how much time Apple would invest in diagnosing it before they conclude you really ought to buy a new Mac instead. They might surprise you though in that a "depot repair", if yours is eligible, is a very cost effective option so consider it.
    Given your ability you might also consider purchasing a replacement logic board from PowerbookMedic, or even sending it to them for a flat rate repair.

  • Formula variable with replacement path

    HI ,
    1. Is it possible to use "Customer exist- without user entry variable in the formula variable with the replacement ?
    2. if I use two variable for a same time char in one report (one is User entry variable and the other is customer exit variable for calculating current system date), then how it will work ? (User entry variable is there in the "Char restrictions" section and the customer exit variable is customer exit used in formula variable)
    Thanks in Advance.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    1. Is it possible to use "Customer exist- without user entry variable in the formula variable with the replacement ?
    Yes. use I_step=1
    I_STEP = 1
    Call takes place directly before variable entry. Can be used to pre populate selection variables
    I_STEP = 2
    Call takes place directly after variable entry. This step is only started up when the same variable is not input ready and could not be filled at I_STEP=1.
    I_STEP = 3 In this call, you can check the values of the variables. Triggering an exception (RAISE) causes the variable screen to appear once more. Afterwards, I_STEP=2 is also called again.
    2. if I use two variable for a same time char in one report (one is User entry variable and the other is customer exit variable for calculating current system date), then how it will work ? (User entry variable is there in the "Char restrictions" section and the customer exit variable is customer exit used in formula variable)
    Yes you can use both the variable of time char to restrict a characteristic but that should not be used on single characteristic.
    You can use the sys defined  0date on one field and the customised one Zsydatum on other char.
