How can I get an "Overflows" frame property in IDML?

I am using InDesign CS5.
In scripting, I can get the "Overflows" property to see if a given text frame requires overflowing. I could not find any similar property in IDML. Is there any way to determine solely from an exported IDML if text overflow is required? By this, I mean that the story is too long to be displayed in its entirety and thus a continuation text frame needs to be displayed.
What I am trying to do is to take an IDML, check on each text frame to see if there is undisplayed text due to a "too-small" frame, and if so take requisite action. Any IDML-based suggestions, workarounds, or pointers would be gratefully accepted.
TIA,
mlavie

IDML contains unformatted text, and you cannot see how much space is going to take up when opened with InDesign -- it's InDesign itself that does all the formatting, word-breaking, justification, paragraph composing and all the rest. IDML only defines the pages, the frames, and the text that's going into it.

  • How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

    how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
    ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES
    and it contain
    8326=sun developer
    4306=sun java developer
    3943=java developer
    how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
    plz help guys..............

    The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
    props.load(is);

  • How can i get a component from frame?

    how can i get a JTextField component from the frame?
    in my program i use button and text fields, when button is pressed the action listener performs the needed actions: it must take the values in the text fields and do something with them,
    for example i have a button - view:
    look at the comments
    public class _ActionListener_search implements ActionListener {
         private JFrame frame;
         private database dtbs;
         public _ActionListener_search(JFrame frame, database dtbs) {
              this.frame = frame;
              this.dtbs = dtbs;
         @Override
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
              if (arg0.getActionCommand().equals("view_person"))
                                            //HERE i want to get values from text fields!
                                            //i need to get JTextField component from frame and use it
    view.addActionListener(new _ActionListener_search(frame, dtbs));how can i do it?
    is this a correct way?

    If you know that you're going to need the data held in them why not give the class that holds them a public method that returns the Strings that they hold.
    public String getTextFieldXyzText()
    return textFieldXyz.getText();
    }Then if your actionlistener has a reference to this class's object, it can simply call the above method.That's what I was thinking. The view has a method getXyzText() and the listener (or some larger, enclosing controller) knows the view.
    What I would get away from is a single, switch-board listener hooked to a 100 unrelated buttons.

  • How can I get the frame option that diffuses the edges of a picture in pages 5.2

    I recently updated to Pages 5.2 and have discovered that my favorite and most used framing option is no longer a choice.  How can I get the frame option that allowed you to diffuse the edges to soften a picture edges on 5.2? 

    That is called the vignette, and yes Apple has removed it from Pages 5 along with 100 other features.
    Pages '08/'09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder so use that.
    Be aware that Pages 5.2 is not only short of features it is also buggy and prone to leaving you with files that won't open.

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

    How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

    It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

  • How can I get the underlying object from the ObjectReference

    Dear friends,
    I think this question has been asked a couple of times. But, I am still wondering if anybody has found an answer to it. Maybe this is some common need ...
    I would like to get the underlying object for which the ObjectReference is
    a mirror For example, I have a class Customer in my application, and I can get an ObjectReference through JDI during runtime. But how can I get the target VM's object which is a real instance of Customer, by which I can invoke methods defined in Customer?
    Thank you so much for any input!
    SunnyDay

    I'll preface this response by admitting this far from an elegant solution, but I did write a function addressing this question, mostly as an exercise.
    If passed an object with an InTextFrame property (Pgf, AFrame, Cell, Fn) that resides in an open document, the function will return the Doc object. Otherwise, it returns undefined.
    function getParentDoc(testObj) {
        //Get object for current page
        try { var curPage = testObj.InTextFrame.FrameParent.PageFramePage; }
        catch(er) {return;}
        //Step backwards to first page in document
        var prevPage = curPage.PagePrev;
        while (prevPage.ObjectValid())
            curPage = prevPage;
            prevPage = prevPage.PagePrev;
        //Compare with first pages of open documents
        var testDoc = app.FirstOpenDoc;
        while (testDoc.ObjectValid())
            if (curPage.id==testDoc.FirstBodyPageInDoc.id) return testDoc;
            testDoc = testDoc.NextOpenDocInSession;    
        return;
    To your PPS: Rather than seeing the native framework grow bloated to address additional features, I would love to see Adobe and other developers publish libraries of useful functions and class extensions.

  • How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

    This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
    We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
    I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
    Problem:
    My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
    Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera. 
    I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software. 
    Even after removing all the old software, same result:  
    I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.   
    Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.  
    Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution? 
    I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software.  I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome. 
    I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software. 
    I test my camera before going online.  It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.   
    When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

    Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
    if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
    any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
    disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

    Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
    I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
    solution.
    His reply is below :-
    The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
    went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
    160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
    blank screen.  Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
    adjusting the frame rate.
    I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
    might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
    Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
    to adjust the frame rate (?).
    He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
    something does the trick.
    If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
    please jot on a note on this thread.

  • How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV?

    How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV? I currently do not have an HDMI device to connect it to, and the MAC is not listed on the box or the Apple TV itself.
    (to answer the obvious, I am trying to pair it with an iPad, and I need to register the Apple TV for the network so the two can see each other)

    As long as I know java doesn't have support to work on link-layer, only internet and transport layers. You may write simple native code. On windows, IP Helper functions, like SendARP allow you to pass an IP address and get the hardware address. You store the hardware address on your database/file and later, when that machine is off, you send a frame to the address you stored previous.
    [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366071(VS.85).aspx]
    I haven't seen it on Linux, but if you need help let me know I'll check the Linux API's too.

                         System.out.println("selected row is : " + newValue );
                  });

    HI,
    I have found a solution to find it
    First ,you need to set person property 'id' as the input parameter for your customized component method 'public void updateItem(String item, boolean empty)'
    ratingCol.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<Person,String>("id"));
    firstNameCol.setCellFactory(ratingCellFactory);and then you need to implement your customize component like this:
    import javafx.scene.control.ContentDisplay;
    import javafx.scene.control.TableCell;
    public class RatingCell extends TableCell<Person,String> {
        private NabiSyncRating rating;
        public RatingCell() {
             rating = new NabiSyncRating(5);
            this.setGraphic(rating);
            this.setContentDisplay(ContentDisplay.GRAPHIC_ONLY);
            this.setEditable(true);
        public void updateRating()
             if(rating!=null)
                  rating.selectRating();
        @Override
        public void startEdit() {
            super.startEdit();
            if (isEmpty()) {
                return;
            rating.setDisable(false);
            rating.requestFocus();
        @Override
        public void cancelEdit() {
            super.cancelEdit();
            rating.setDisable(true);
        public void commitEdit(String value) {
            super.commitEdit(value);
            rating.setDisable(true);
        @Override
        public void updateItem(String item, boolean empty) {
             if(item!=null && item.length()>0)
                  if(rating!=null)
                       rating.setId("NR"+item);
                       this.setId("NC"+item);
                super.updateItem(item, empty);
    } and find the current like this :
    tableView.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener() {
                       @Override
                       public void changed(ObservableValue observable, Object oldvalue, Object newValue)
                            Person person=(Person)newValue;
                            Set<Node> colNodes=tableView.lookupAll("RatingCell");
                            for(Node nod:colNodes)
                                 System.out.println("person.email:"+"NC"+person.email.getValue()+"|nodId: " + nod.getId()+"\r\n" );
                                 if(("NC"+person.email.getValue()).equals(nod.getId()))
                                       System.out.println("get current instance" );
                                      ((RatingCell)nod).updateRating();
                       });Edited by: noob on Apr 20, 2012 4:49 PM
