Help with Calculate Script
The script below gives me The pattern: date{EEEE, MMMM DD, YYYY}
( DateWeekEnding.rawValue==null)
Calculate Event for TextField_A:
if
then
$.rawValue = ""else
Num2Date(Date2Num( DateWeekEnding.formattedValue, DateFmt(1)) +1, DateFmt(4))
endif
DateWeekEnding is a date fiels with Display pattern date.short{} and populate the date in the TextField_A
How I can get the pattern: date{EEEE, MMM DD, YY} ?
Thanks
Hi Niall, for 5 text fields on Calculate event I am using the script below(the only change are the number:+1,+2,+3,......):
if ( DateWeekEnding.rawValue==null)
then
Num2Date(Date2Num( DateWeekEnding.formattedValue, DateFmt(1)) +1, "EEE, MMM DD, YY")
The script above populate the date from DateWeekEnding fiels plus 1 day.
For the DateWeekEnding Date field I am using the object display pattern: date.short{} which give me MM/DD/YY.
Is it possible for this field to have the pattern:EEE, MMM DD, YY same as the other fields?
If I change the display pattern to date{EEE, MMM DD, YY} does not give the corect year for the text fields!
Thank you Niall

Hi,
I found this Apple script online and here's how it works:
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
try
if not (exists document 1) then display dialog "Please open a QuickTime movie." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 with icon 1
set thefile to (choose file name)
save document 1 in thefile
close document 1
end try
end tell
+I run the Apple script+
*1. It prompts me to open a movie file in Quicktime*
+I open a movie in Quicktime+
*2. It prompts me for an name and directory to save the new file in*
+I enter a name and directory+
*3. It saves a new reference movie in said directory with said name*
This is useful if I want to customize every file, but unfortunately, I just want to mass create reference movies for a whole bunch of files.
What I am looking for is for an Apple script that is a drag and drop application, so I can drop say 100 movie files or so, and have the Apple script create reference movie files with the same name and in the same directory automatically with no prompts.
Since I am unfamiliar with Apple script I was wondering if someone would be able to edit my existing script to do what I want.
Thanks so much for your help!Use Automator. It's great for repetitious tasks (like the one you've described), and it's very user-friendly. Open Automator, create a new workflow that executes the action you want, and you can apply that action to the resources you wish to edit.

I was wondering if someone could help me with a simple bit of action script 3. I need to make a movie clip (single_mc) disappear when the user clicks on the mouse (stop_btn). Here’s what I have so far.
function setProperty(event:MouseEvent):void
single_mc.alpha=0;
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setProperty);
Also I was wonder if you could recommend an Action script 3 book for me. I would like one that is not a training book, but has situations and then the script written out. For example: I click a button and a movie symbol disappears from the stage. I am a graphic artist, that from time to time, needs simple interaction in flash, but cant justify the time to learn the script.
Thanks for your timeuse the snippets panel to help with you with sample code for basic tasks.

I found a script online that turns my images into a square (by extending the canvas size of the short side to match the length of the long side) which is awesome, but I would like to do an additional step and I have no scripting experience so hopefully someone can help.
now that my images are square I want to set a maximum dimension of 2500x2500 px, i have found scripts to set a resolution to a specific size but what I want to make sure I avoid is upsampling, so I just want any image larger than 2500x2500 px to down sample to 2500x2500 px
any knowledge on the code for this would be much appreciated.
When I am at the machine with the script I currently use I will paste it here in the meantime if you know something about scaling images down but preventing scaling them up I could probably chimp with the code I have and make it work.Photoshop shipts with a plug-in script that will do that for you. its found under menu File>Automate>Fit Image. Set both width and height to 2500 and check do not resize images that fit so your small square images will not be resized up in size. You could also just create an action that uses both scripts
step 1 menu File>Scripts>Make canvas Square.
setp 2 menu File>Automate>Fit Image. The 2500 x 2500 no upsize option settings will be recorded into the step and when the action is used its dialog will be bypassed and the recorded settings will ne used.
You can then batch the action using menu file>Automate>Batch or menu File>Scripts>Image Processor. -
Would anyone be willing to help me with a script? I need to Find the first table using "ERTStyle1" table style, convert it to text, change the text style to "Tabfix" paragraph style, then convert it back into a table using the table style "ERTStyle2" convert the top row to a header. It needs to repeat this process until there are no tables left using the "ERTStyle1" table style.
I think I could almost do this myself using VBScript, but I am relatively new to scripting, and to be honest, I am hoping I can use this script to jump start my knowledge of VB in Indesign.So all of this is just to set the column widths to the sizes pre-defined in a paragraph style, i.e., always the same?
I feel like I almost could do that in VB!
But in Javascript, all it needs is sth in the ilk of
var myWidths = [ 10, 50, 100, 50, 12 ]; // in whatever units you fancy
var myTable = app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables[0]; // (just grabbing some table)
for (i=0; i<myTable.columns.length; i++)
myTable.columns[i].width = myWidths[i % myWidths.length];
.. and the most interesting thing here (written from top of my head) is the "myWidths" lookup: it doesn't matter how many columns there are in this table, 'cause the widths array wraps around. (But you won't need this because you know all of your widths in advance.) -
Help with two scripts - Mounting remote DMG and Checking which network I'm connected to
Hey guys, I need some help with two separate scripts:
1. The first script I'm trying to create to mount a DMG stored remotely on another Mac using an AppleScript or shell script. Using the following:
set cmd to "hdiutil mount 'afp://username:[email protected]/Lion/Users/username/Desktop/Test.sparseim age'"
do shell script cmd
results in the following error:
error "hdiutil: mount failed - not recognized" number 1
I'm not very experienced regarding AppleScript or using hdiutil, could somebody point out what's wrong with my script?
2. The second script I'm working on to try and essentially prevent the 'Could Not Find Server' Finder dialog when a network mount is unavailable. I guess what I'd like it to do is detect which network I'm connected to, and if I'm connected to the correct network, then mount the shares, otherwise just fail silently without any errors. From the searching I've done, using try statements should do this, but they do not, and I'm still presented with an error dialog after the server cannot be found.
Does anybody have any suggestions on this script? Also, I've seen some tips regarding detecting which wireless network the Mac is connected to, which could work, but what about when connected via Ethernet?
Thanks!Edit: I need to clarify on my first script request:
I need to mount the DMG on the remote Mac, not on the Mac I'm running the script from. -
Can anyone help with the scripting on this file?
Hi, I hope someone with a bigger brain can help me out here.
I've got an existing Flash CS3 file that makes up the result at http://www.infusion-set.com/flash/Elearning/Inset30/inset30_eguide.html.
The client has asked if I could add an extra tab at the top after 'Reconnecting' called 'Contact Us' with link to an extra page. All the design has been done in ActionScript 2 with references to XML files for the dynamic content because it's been done in other languages as well.
I've amended the existing XML file with the correct references for a new page and an accompanying .swf file to play in the animation area.
I've attempted a .fla version where I duplicated one of the existing tabs script, changed the XML references and changed the variables where necessary to 'con or 'Con' (representing Contact Us). Unfortunately it made the tab menu go completely off the page and was obviously wrong in some way.
Can anyone give me a clue as to what to change here on the original file as I'm a bit of a novice with ActionScripts, hence me asking.
For reference I've attached HTML files with the original file scripts and my incorrect version. The timeline is 103 frames with the scripts placed at frame 1 and 102
Thanks.
GarryThe buttons are all created using the same library object (but MC), except for the code you have in the revised file does not call on that for the con button.
You have it calling on something with a linkage name of "con", which a quick check tells me doesn't exist--so it is undefined in the code when you try to use it. I found this by using trace(newConBut._x); after its _x value was assigned, as I mentioned you should try. So the first thing you want to do is change the following line from...
var newConBut = _root.attachMovie("con", "conbut", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
To
var newConBut = _root.attachMovie("but", "conbut", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
so that it uses the but MC that serves that purpose in the library. Then you want to correct the _x assignment of the buttons to what I think you had earlier...
newConBut._x = 650-newConBut._width;
newRecBut._x = newConBut._x-newRecBut._width;
Here is a picture of what those changes do (note, without the XML file I had to finagle things just to work, so the biutton labels aren't what they will be)... -
Help With dynamic scripting for Dervied Property
Hi,
I am trying to get the the list of child nodes and then loopthorugh those nodes to do some calculation in a derived propety using dynamic scripting. I tried with below script.
var childEnumerator = node.GetChildEnumerator();
while(childEnumerator.MoveNext())
var propValue = childEnumerator.GetCurrent().PropValue("Custom.Salary");
print(propValue);
While Evaluating this script I am getting below mentioned error. Any idea what i am missing here?
DRM-16008: There was an error calculating Script property Custom.TotalSalaryExp for EMP_Zone/Emp/PPD1: TypeError: 'GetChildEnumerator' is not a function
Please help me out. thanks fr your co-operation
Regards,
SudiptaTry this instead...
var childEnumerator = node.GetChildEnumerator();
childEnumerator.MoveNext();
while(childEnumerator.GetCurrent() != null)
var propValue = childEnumerator.GetCurrent().PropValue("Custom.Salary");
print(propValue);
childEnumerator.MoveNext(); -
Hi guys,
I need some scripting help with a formula I am trying to create. Basically, the RWDerived property should replace the Spaces in the descrption of a node with an underscore "_". The description property is the system description property. Thanks.
-- AdiFrom the user guide:
"The ReplaceStr function, which requires parameters for the old and new pattern, can take
comma, space, tab, crlf, cr, lf, openparen, or closeparen, in square brackets ([]), in
addition to normal text strings."
It's much better to use "[space]" in your formula so that it won't break if someone edits it and changes the way whitespace is handled down the road. That checkbox is such an annoyance! -
Need help with a script applied by GPO
Hello,
I need to automate WebFeed insertion for Remote App Users at user logon.
RDS 2012 R2 in place. Remote Apps are provided to W7 clients.
Currently, WebFeed link must be inserted manually in each user's Control Panel\RemoteApp and Desktop Connections. There
is no straight forward way from Microsoft.
But there is a script and instruction I found on web...
I followed the instruction... Created GPO. GPO applies to user but nothing happens.
Can somebody check the script and the instruction that I could wrongly applied.
In instruction there is no word about changing something in the script but only wcx file that the script should
use.
The script is below and here is my .wcx file:
<?xml version="1.0? encoding="utf-8? standalone="yes"?>
<workspace name="Enterprise Remote Access" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ts/2008/09/tswcx" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<defaultFeed url="https://my_webserver_real_FQDN/rdweb/Feed/webfeed.aspx" />
</workspace>
I changed the quotes to vertical (") from (”) that
were in my wcx when copied the lines from web.
Still not works.
I
checked Application log, PowerShell and RemoteApp in eventviewer under user session
Everything is clean.
Were I can check the script execution log?
When the user with applied script logs in, the icon of Remote
connection appears for 10 seconds on the task bar and disappears.
Looks like it's trying...
Check please if the script really should not be touched and provide some troubleshooting
steps.
Thanks!

NEED a java coder to help with a script for a programs of mine.
I play a game, very competitively, and need someone to make and compile a script for me. I am willing to pay upwards of 100 USD for this script made to MY standards. There will be a lot of work involved...Probably 12 hours studying my game and the purpose of the script(s). I will be buying 2-3 scripts, at roughly 50-100 USD each, depending on the quality. I will transfer the money via paypal, or other means if we can reach an agreement.
Please IM me at Chadtrapier on AIM or send an email to [email protected]
Or...Add me on MSN - [email protected]
We can reach an agreement with these scripts...
Thank you, I will also check this thread, so reply if you would like.
~ChadUmmm. Do you think that's a lot of money or something? Think in the range of 40-60 per hour. And if you're talking about warcraft I don't think they java hooks to make bots. I think you need to figure out what your problem is first and maybe learn to code them yourself.

So , I edited the ITunes.java as described in the Admin guide.Copied the .class to my cgi folder in the server.I copied the itunesu file from the shell folder of the sample code.I have modified it accordingly.But when I run it in browser(Firefox) as ..../cgi-bin/itunesu it just gives me a blank page.Nothing shows up.I ran the ITunes.java file locally and it generates an HTML output, which I copied and created a new html.After I run this HTML file, it opens my itunes, but again it says page not found and url contains https://www.xxx.edu/cgi-bin/itunesu?destination=xxx.edu where xxx is my institution name.Not sure if I am supposed to display my institution name in forum.

iTunes U Access Debugging
Received
Destination xxx.edu
Identity "my name" <[email protected]> (mylogin) [1243]
Credentials Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:xxx.edu
Time 1196706873
Signature 533870b8jshdidk333lfsf6a3143a55c132ec548a4d545bd79322402e8e2596e4
Analysis
The destination string is valid and the corresponding destination item was found.
The identity string is valid and provides the following information:
Display Name my name
Email Address [email protected]
Username mylogin
User Identifier 1243
The credential string is valid and contains the following recognized credential:
1. Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:xxx.edu
The time string is valid and corresponds to 2007-12-03 18:34:33Z.
The signature string is valid.
Access
Because the received signature and time were valid, the received identity and credentials were accepted by iTunes U.
In addition, the following 2 credentials were automatically added by iTunes U:
1. All@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:xxx.edu
2. Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:xxx.edu
With these credentials, you have browsing, downloading, uploading, and editing access to the requested destination.

Help with Report Script please :(
Hi,
I'm trying to write a report script with a slight calculation and would really appreciate some help.
Ideally I want to create a report where I only get the Account and Value. I select all my members but I need a calculation on the Entity dimension. Here's what i am trying to achieve:
(All selected members for all Entities + All selected members for all Entities in group RIA-IFRS REPORTING ADJS. ) Yes I'm duplicating the members of group RI-IFRS REPORTING ADJS.
So account 100 for all Entities = 50
account 100 for all Entities in RI-IFRS REPORTING ADJS. = 25
I want to display account 100 grouped as 75 without showing a line for each entity.
This is what I have so far but it doesn't work right:
ROWREPEAT
SUPCOLHEADING
SUPCOMMAS
SUPHEADING
SUPBRACKETS
SUPEMPTYROWS
TABDELIMIT
MISSINGTEXT "#mi"
DECIMAL 2
NOINDENTGEN
<PAGE ( Years, Version, Currency, Scenario, InterCompany, "Entity", "Cost Center","Set of Books","Reporting")
"FY10" "Current" "Currency" "Actual" "InterCompany" "Entity" "Cost Center" "AB_CON_USD" "Reporting"
<ROW ("Account")
<LINK(<DESCENDANTS("Total Balance Sheet Accounts","Lev0,Account"))
{ CALCULATE ROW "Entity" = "Entity" + "RI-IFRS REPORTING ADJS."})
<COL (Period)
"Dec"

Hi Robert, I wasn't getting any data, but I managed to figure that out. Basically I created 2 columns with the values I needed and then added them up with a calc cloumn. However I can't get my essbase substitution variables working. So I created a substitution variable called CurrQtr and set this to Quarter3. In my script I'm using this @CurrQtr as a period however it doesn't use it as it's just giving me the total for the Period dimension. Any help?

have you tried like this.??
