Frames or not

Hi
We are a group of students who have to build a website using JSP as an assignment.
Now there is a discussion in our group if we should use frames or not.
We have about 16 beans that will be used throughout the website and we will probebly need session variables asswell. No my guess is using frames is going to make things unnessecary difficult and that it would be much easier to use one page.
However I could be wrong, so I would like you're opinion on this matter
Should we use frames or not.
Thx Babette

I had the same problem few months ago... No, don't use frames, until you have some framework (based on XML). If you use frames without some special framework, you will have problems with forwarding from one page to another...because you can't define forward to specific frame in frameset.
If you cant figure out, what i wrote, just ask ;-)

InDesign auto-size frame feature not working in real time in InCopy why?

We have just recently migrated from InCopy CS4 to CS6 to take advantage of the new features like the auto resize frame option, however it now seems that this feature is not working in real-time.
Basically the steps are needed to be complete before it auto-resizes the frame in InCopy, we use both layout and assignment based workflows:
1. From an ID document ('doc1'), exported a 'layer' to IC, certain frames are set to auto-size in height using the text frame options. So that editorial can review and make changes to text and the frame should resize according to the specifications set. IC stories are saved to a folder located in a content folder inside the top issue working folder.
2. Editorial opens the IC software, then opens the ID 'doc1'. Check’s out correct .icml file and makes edits to frame with auto resize.
3. Frame does not resize according to text frame set options and InCopy file does not respond in same fashion as InDesign.
4. Change only occurs when InCopy file is closed and updated in InDesign, which is frustrating as this feature would save huge amounts of time serving editorial requests.
Has anybody experienced this type of workflow problem? If anyone can provide mw with some pointers as to what can I do to get this to update in real time perhaps run a script? Update file in InCopy and refresh I will very much appreciate their assistance. I have run out of ideas.
Thanks!

We've had all sorts of problems with this feature as it should've worked straight out of the box but after some testing we have found that its something to do with the way you open the actual file in InCopy. Which is far from ideal and should have been UAT by Adobe before release.
This will not work consistently work if you open the designed .indd or .icma file in InCopy using the file open command within the application.
If you need this to work, the InCopy user has to open the .indd or .icma file by dragging and droping from OS windows explorer into InCopy, we use Windows 7 acrros all the teams. Check out .icml files add text changes to the set auto resized frames, this process will expand/collapse the frames to fit the content but as you have to use the drag and drop method to open the .indd and .icma file, 2 users cannot access the same time doc at the same time (a serious flaw in the programming architecture!) which stops people working in parallel. Save changes, check in .icml content and close .indd or .icma.
However the flaw comes in if you then open the .indd and .icma file in InCopy using the file open command within the application, before an InDesign user opens and saves the file (updates the design). The corrections added in the previous stage above, will not show the frames expanded/collapsed to take in the added text and instead show over matter???? The only way around this is to ask an InDesign user to open, update and save the design that way the InCopy user will see the same result no matter what file open method they use.
Another suggestion is to design the page to have some of the auto resize frames anchored within main body of text and that way the frames will expland/collapse when checking out and editing the content. However, this does cause issues with InDesign crashing etc. so we have tried to stop this method within the working group.
Have you experienced other more serious issues with InDesign crashing consistently when re-importing .icml files? See other forums here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/671820?start=80&tstart=0
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5045608#5045608
As far as we can see this is a major flaw in how the application(s) work, we have an enterprise agreement with Adobe and purchase a large volume of Adobe products globally but so far the technical support team are unable to find a solution to this and I'm not hopeful of any resolution soon even with the new release of Adobe CC.

Problem with text frame dropshadow not completely printing to pdf file.

Hi and thanks for your speedy replies!
I am editing a file that had altered corner text frames with a .25 inset and a drop shadow added, .05 stroke and paper swatch. When I deleted text everything shifted so I had to recreate the special frames on select pages. These new text frames are not showing the top and left sides of the frames when saved to pdf file. The right and bottom drop shadow are showing. What am I missing?
Cheers!

I am using the latest version in CC. I tried several exports directly from ID, PDF/X-3:2002, PDF/X-1a:2001 and the low res setting, all with no changes. None showed the left or top border on the frames in question.
So I was getting the first screen shot instead of the second which other similarly formatted frames showed. I checked every setting I could find and they were all the same. The problem just occurred after the point in the doc that I had made changes resulting in some pages being deleted and the page formatting being thrown off which I corrected with the appropriate saved page formats. But when I went to set up the frame dropshadow and accompanying stroke and swatches, the outline just would not show in the pdf although it appeared to be showing in ID.
I've since discovered a work around for the editing so no pages were deleted, but I need to figure out why this happened and what I am not seeing. Perhaps a setting to show the border? Or maybe it is some overall setting that I need to be looking for? Just weird, weird, weird...

Frames suddenley not working

I am a teacher webdesign.
I used dreamweaver for 3 years, and stopped for 1 year.
Now I restart and I see that links in frames do not open in
other frame's, but they open a new browser window... am I the only
one with this problem?
If I make the frameset based on the samples in dreamweaver,
they work...

You teach web design?
If so, please tell me you don't teach your students to use
frames except to
warn them of the many pitfalls.

Some frames are not being shown when printed but it is there in print previ

Hello Experts,
I am currently developing a form in smartform wherein I need to put frames in all cells. When
I print preview, all the frames are there. But when I print it, some of the frames are not shown.
What could be possibly the problem?
Thank you guys and take care!

Repeating frame does not shift upwards !

Hi , i have a simple report which is built in a parent-childern pattern .
the layout consists of parent repeating frame and inside it a child repeating frame.
the parent and the child frames has a print on the first of the enclosing object property set.
in the first page the parent and the child frame are printed together well.
the outcome in the second page should be 2 child frame printed one after the other since
the parent frame is not printed and therfore should shift the first child frame upwards taking it's place
and by that leaving space to print the one after it .
instead only one child frame is printed in the same location as the previous one.
i have tried every possible combination of values in all of the properties of each repeating frame ,
including adding and removing regular frame that encloses the repeating frames .
nothing help.
it is a very important report and need help urgently.
Please help.
Thanks you.

probably a bug in repors .
i just resized the whole report and it worked .
thank you for your replay.

Frame does not refresh while Thread is running

Hi all,
following problem:
I have two frames - a "search" frame and a "main" frame.
When I double click an item in the search frame, the item should be loaded an displayed in the main frame - that works well so far.
but when i try to load larger objects the two frames do not refresh nor respond, although I use a thread to load my objects.
Has anyone an idea how to get that working (the users want to continue working while objects are loading...otherwise they'll slay me!)
i use following thread structure:
private void startLoadThread(final String l3, final String selection) {
Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
//here is the load method...
     CustomerMaintenanceApplication.chnpanel.loadBigNodesAsThread (l3, selection);
          t.start();
Thank you very much....

hi bill,
i'm eager for that main-frame joke.... :-D
yes it is a JFrame and no, I didn't read the Tut.
because i'm running out of time...!
any hints for me??
Thanks,
HendrikUch, that was it (the joke, that is). Anyway, hongmeng handed you the tut and the answer I was alluding to.

Output clip, first frame does not match rest of clip

If I take After Effects and create 30 seconds of red, that is r-255 g=0 b=0, then output this to tape in FCP the first frame does not look like the rest of the clip. I render out in AE using BlackMAGIC 8bit 1920x1080 size movie. Imports into FCP without complaint. Layoff to HDCAM-SR.
If I take a solid green clip and do the same thing it also changes on the first frame layoff.
If I take gray it does not change.
If I change the FCP sequence to use RGB processing (to match AE) this does not change anything.
This happens on more than one machine as well, and is restricted only to FCP.. The BlackMAGIC Deck Control software that they bundle with the cards does NOT exhibit this issue!
FCP v6.0.4

17 macs crankin out spots everyday.
I would like to know if other people out there see the same prob.
It looks like if something was digitized with FCP, it will output fine.
If files come from another app, the above prob results.

Frame will not rotate

My YouTube frame will not rotate ,stays in the same postion

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Mac InDesign CS5: Application Frame Does Not Save

I have a new MacBook Pro with CS5. Since I am previously a PC user, I prefer to have the application frame open all the time. In Photoshop and Illustrator I was able to turn it on, size it, and the settings saved. With InDesign, however, I was able to turn it on but the size never saves--this is driving me crazy!! Any help anyone can give is very much appreciated.

It's supposed to save. Try trashing you preferences first.
Please confirm that you open CS5, set the App Frame on, Quit InDesign, re-open InDesign, and the App Frame is not on?

Frame line not display in next page of main window

hi Xpert,
I am creating layout in SAP SCRIpt,it working fine only the main window of next page frame line is not display.
i m define next page as a FIRST page and writing main window of first page following coding
/:           POSITION XORIGIN '0.50' CM YORIGIN '7.75' CM
/:           SIZE HEIGHT '17' CM WIDTH '19.25' CM
/:           BOX FRAME 10 TW
when i run the program first page are coming properly and only when i go in second page of output then main window lines not displaying.
please guide me how to solve this problem.
Regards,
pravin

Hi Praveen,
In that case why you have to make the main window in the first page and secondry window.
You can use it as manin window itself. Print the total amount in the main window itself in the first page. and copy that main window to the second page.
In the first page under the main window create a text. and there u print the total value and text.
Now copy the main window to the second page..only COPY DONT CREATE NEW.
In the second page now under the main window create the table to print the line items. What every u add in the second page main window it will come in the first age also in the smartforms. But it will nto get printed in the first page.After the text to print the totals call the COMMAND option and call next page in that.
Hope you got me..
Regards

JPopupMenu in one frame is not closing while clicking on the another frame

Hi friends,
I have a web application which is manily applet oriented. I have two frames in the page on which i have loaded separate applets. One on the left side an the other on the right side. I have implemented a popup using JPopUpMenu in the left hand side applet in response to mouse pressed event. But when i am clicking on the right side frame which is having the other applet loaded the pop up still remains the same in the first frame. It's not going away. How can I solve this issue ?
Pls help me out in this regard.

If you dont find anything specific, a lot of the problems i
encounter like this are because one little thing is spelled wrong.
like it doesnt match whats in your php file, ect. my suggestion,
though a long one, if you know its supposed to work, and theres no
syntax error, re type it, not copy and paste, and just be careful.
keep tripple checking. you might not even find what was spelled
wrong, but it might fix the situation,

Identical actionscript works in one frame but not another...?

Hi all,
I'm working on this electronic sheep creator for my Masters
degree (don't ask haha..) which is online at
[url]www.aegreen.co.uk/creativetech/[/url] . The problem I'm having
is that a piece of actionscript I'm using for saving the sheep as a
jpg using BitmapData works in one frame with one movie clip but not
in another frame..
In frame 1 I create two movie clips - mc_modifysheep and
mc_dna:
[CODE]on(release) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_modifysheep", 1)
mc_modifysheep._x = 150;
mc_modifysheep._y = 70;
mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_body", "body", 1, {_x:42,
_y:65});
mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_head", "head", 2, {_x:0,
_y:0});
mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_legs", "legs", 3, {_x:77,
_y:215});
_global.bodycolour = "default";
_global.headcolour = "default";
_global.legscolour = "default";
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_dna", 2)
mc_dna._x = 0;
mc_dna._y = 0;
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_DNA_empty", "DNA empty", 1, {_x:8,
_y:360});
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_top", "top", 2,
{_x:45, _y:374});
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_right", "right",
3, {_x:65, _y:400});
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_left", "left", 4,
{_x:32, _y:401});
gotoandstop(2);
}[/CODE]
the sheep in 'mc_modifysheep' and the dna in 'mc_dna' are
built up over frames 2 and 3 and then in frame 4 the user decides
whether the sheep is given freedom or captivity. If freedom is
chosen then the user is prompted to name their sheep and the movie
clip mc_modifysheep is saved as a jpg on the server using
BitmapData and PHP. If captivity is chosen then the user is
prompted to name the dna and the movie clip mc_dna is meant to be
saved as a jpg on the server but only a white blank jpg is
produced, not what is contained in mc_dna.. I've tried all sorts
but I can't figure out why it's doing this..
Here's the code I'm using, that works, to save the
mc_modifysheep:
[CODE]import flash.display.BitmapData;
btn_freedom.onPress = function() {
freedom();
function freedom() {
snap_sheep = new BitmapData(305, 290);
snap_sheep.draw(mc_modifysheep);
var pixels:Array = new Array();
var w:Number = snap_sheep.width;
var h:Number = snap_sheep.height;
var a:Number = 0;
var sn:String = txt_Freedom.text;
high = 99999;
low = 00000;
ran =
Math.floor(Math.random()*(Number(high)+1-Number(low)))+Number(low);
var rn:Number = ran
var filename:String = dn+sn;
for (var a = 0; a <= w; a++) {
for (var b = 0; b <= h; b++) {
var tmp = snap_sheep.getPixel(a, b).toString(16);
pixels.push(tmp);
var freedomoutput:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
freedomoutput.img = pixels.toString();
freedomoutput.height = h;
freedomoutput.width = w;
freedomoutput.filename_sheep = filename;
freedomoutput.send("save_sheep.php", "_self", "POST");
stop();[/CODE]
and here's the near identical code apart from different
variable/movieclip names I'm using to try and save (but failing)
mc_dna:
[CODE]import flash.display.BitmapData;
btn_capt.onPress = function() {
capt();
function capt() {
snap_dna = new BitmapData(305, 290);
snap_dna.draw(mc_dna);
var pixels:Array = new Array();
var w:Number = snap_dna.width;
var h:Number = snap_dna.height;
var a:Number = 0;
var dn:String = txt_Capt.text;
high = 99999;
low = 00000;
ran =
Math.floor(Math.random()*(Number(high)+1-Number(low)))+Number(low);
var rn:Number = ran
var filename:String = dn+rn;
for (var a = 0; a <= w; a++) {
for (var b = 0; b <= h; b++) {
var tmp = snap_dna.getPixel(a, b).toString(16);
pixels.push(tmp);
var captoutput:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
captoutput.img = pixels.toString();
captoutput.height = h;
captoutput.width = w;
captoutput.filename_dna = filename;
captoutput.send("save_dna.php", "_self", "POST");
stop();[/CODE]
I know it's a problem with the flash and not the PHP as I've
tested for that, definately in the flash. I just don't understand
how the same code can capture mc_modifysheep, but not mc_dna.
argh!!!

Box frame command not working from second page in scripts

Hi to All,
            I am getting problem when i am running the script program in SE38.
Problem is I need to get the output i(Header,main and footer) in box frame for all the pages.but in one page i am getting the Box frame for all three windows(header ,main and footer window).
             But from second page onwards i am not getting the Box frame for Main Window.
           could anyone could give the result.
thanks in Advance.

This occurs typically when you puts BOXs commands on top of MAIN outside of any text element. It runs once, then is not executed any more. If you need the boxes on other pages you should put it inside a text elemente and make a WRITE_FORM with the proper EXPORTING ELEMENT for every page. But as you don't know when a new page is called... I really don't know how to solve it by this way.
My ususal solution is to have the boxes in a new window, supperpossed with MAIN, same possition and sizes. On this window you can put as boxes and lines as you want without a text element and it is going to be shown on every page.
Hope it helps!
