How to create a flash automatization script?

Here's the situation. I have a font support library, however for each font I have to manually create a new swf file, such as Tahoma_14_bold.swf - which is a lot of work.
I need to create a Flash automatization script (extension or command, NOT AS3 code) that automatically opens up a file, changes the font of a pre-existing textfield on the stage to, for example, Tahoma Regular 10 with bitmap font setting, saves it as Tahoma_Regular_10.fla in a destination directory, compile, then change the font size to 11, save it as Tahoma_Regular_11.fla, compile and so on and so forth, up until all fonts are created.
The end result would be 30 or so swf and fla files for each possible variation of the font.
How would I go around doing this? Is this at all possible?

1. Efficiency:
Application has a fontStyle manager. The application never (outside of debugging purposes) creates textfields by itself. All textfields used to display text are created by a call to the fonts manager, like "fontsStyleManager.createFont("header1");"
As such, each fontStyle has an associated font SWF and other textField parameters. The website owner can specify which particular font SWFs are to be loaded at start, and all unused font SWFs are highlighted, to be deleted of the list.
2. Flash font embedding sucks
Flash embedding sucks. I've had whole projects refuse to compile and not even display any messages. I had fonts that changes sizes and font faces. I've had fonts not embed at all, even though I specified explicitly for them to be included. Embeding by code and at runtime is cleaner, and it works
3. Neccesity
Embedding fonts from Flex embeds all European characters including German, Greek, Norwegian and so on.. except Polish. In here I can specify my own precise character set using the flash IDE.
4. Fonts in Flash are complicated
Normal, vector fonts are embedded easy. Size doesn't matter, as the font can clearly scale to any size and remain nicely anti-aliased. Embeding a Bold style doesn't mean yhou embed a Regular. Bitmap fonts are embeded by font size, that is, embeding a 14px bitmap won't make it possible to use a 16px. In addition, embedding a Bold doesn't embed a Regular bitmap font. What's interesting is that you can take a 12px embed font and set the TextFormat to, say, 22px, and get a very interesting-looking pixel effect, as the font gets scaled up.
5. Flexibility - the ability to see a completely different set of fonts in your project without having to recompile - priceless.

How to create a barcode in scripts and smartforms

hi
how to create a barcode in scripts and smartforms

Hi,
For Script:
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
The next part of the equation can be a bit tricky as you will need to get a printer to print that barcode font. Regular laser printers does not normally print barcode fonts, only specialized industrial printers that is specifically designed to support that protocol and that uses specialized label media and heat transfer (resin) ribbon to create the sharp image required for barcodes.
Not to fear though, there are two ways to get around this:
- You can have your IT department do some research -
most laser printers can accept a font cartridge/dimm chip (similar to computer memory), called a BarDIMM that will allow a laser printer to support the printing of barcodes.
- Secondly, you can buy software that you can upload in your SAP print Server that will convert the barcode symbology as an image that will print on a regular laser printer. I found that this option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to support barcodes.
- Thirdly, you can buy a third party software like Barcode.dll and install on your frontend PC connected to the laser printer.
Now you have a barcode printed - what next?
Well there are two options, depending on your business requirements:
- You can use an existing SAP transaction on a regular workstation and get a barcode wedge reader to hook up between the keyboard and the PC. These wedge readers comes in a wand or scanner format. There are even wireless wedge scanners available that allows you to roam a few yards from the workstation to scan a label. This approach is mostly used where you want to prevent human errors in typing in long material, batch or serial numbers in receiving or issuing of material. The problem is that it's just replacing the keyboard input and you are basically locked down in one location and have to bring all the material to that location to process.
- Another solution is to use SAPConsole transactions
or write your own ABAP Dialog programs that will fit onto a barcode enabled wireless handheld terminal and that will follow the business logic as executed on the shop floor.
These programs are highly complex exercises in industrial engineering and ergonomics because of the limited screen sizes and limited ability to accept keyboard input. The user is instructed step-by-step and only scan and push F-keys to interact with the SAP system. Scan, scan, beep, beep, enter - highly automated.

Tracy,
Thanks. That worked. However I have another related question:
I convert the xml feed to a XMLListCollection by doing:
<mx:XMLListCollection id="mission"
source="{xmlFeed.lastResult.day}"/>
and
<mx:XMLListCollection id="mission1"
source="{xmlFeed.lastResult.day.tBlock}"/>
On the chart I have
<mx:ColumnChart id="missionReadiness" height="150%"
width="100%"
paddingLeft="2" paddingRight="2"
showDataTips="true" dataProvider="{mission1}">
<mx:series>
<mx:ColumnSeries xField="" yField="@today"
displayName="Today"/>
<mx:ColumnSeries xField="" yField="@tomorrow"
displayName="Tomorrow"/>
<mx:ColumnSeries xField="" yField="@afterT"
displayName="After Tomorrow"/>
</mx:series>
</mx:ColumnChart>
the yField works, but for the xField I want to have the @date
but refers to the parent node, so I am clueless on how to refer to
it.
Also, I would like to display on the chart only the values to
a specific date (like @date="05/17/2007").
Any suggestions on how to do that?

How to create a table in script

hi gurus
can any one suggest me
how to create a table format in script output
i want the output be in table format
thank you
regards
kals.

Hi Kalyan,
There is option for creation of table in Scripts .
We can make the output to b displayed in table format by using BOX command .
see this
Setting default parameters for a box:
You can use the POSITION and SIZE commands to set default parmeters for a box.
Instead of:
/: BOX XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '5.31' MM HEIGHT '10' MM WIDTH '20' MM INTENSITY 10 FRAME 0 TW
You can write:
/: POSITION XORIGIN '11.21' YORIGIN '5.31' MM
/: SIZE HEIGHT '2' MM WIDTH '76' MM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 10
This can be usefull if you gave several boxes that share the same parameters.
If you want to set the position realtively to the window use POSITION WINDOW
to set the position to the top/left start of the window. Then use POSITION
to set the current position relatively to the start of the Window.
Note that you uses "+" or "-" in the ORIGIN position to the set the position relatively.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN '5' MM YORIGIN '10' MM
the position is now 5 MM from the left and 10 MM from the top of the window
NOTE: After using the position command you can move the current position
realtively to the last used position
/: POSITION XORIGIN '10' MM YORIGIN '20' MM
Now the position will be X = 15 and Y = 30
Drawing a line. You can draw a line by setting the Height or Weidth to 0
and add a frane. E.g. a horizontal line:
/: SIZE HEIGHT '0' MM WIDTH '200' MM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '14.81' MM INTENSITY 100

How to create incremental flash archive?

Hi all,
For ease of installation, I created an flash archive of an Solaris server using flarcreate. Since there are some changes to the system since the date of creation, I would like to update that flash archive the changes we have made. I understand that there is a way to update flash archive, but just don't know which command to use and its syntax. Would appreciate if someone can help, thanks!

Thanks Solarisfan. It works!
However, there is some error while generating the differential archive. Do you guys have any idea what it is?
Here is the command I use:
flar create -n wp22diffarchive1 -A /var/flashtest/S9.wp22.flashimage -c -x /var/flashtest/ wp22diffarchive1.flar
// where S9.wp22.flashimage is the original image which stored in /var/flashtest directory.
Here is the error message I got:
Differential Flash

Integrity OK.

Hi!
I would like to create a DVD menu that offers two languages. So the first page gives two options: Language 1 and Language 2. Then depending on which language you choose, you go to a menu that proposes different videos and a photo slideshow.
Regardless on which language button you click on initially, you get the same content but in different languages.
I've been looking at Premiere's templates, which I can certainly customize, but I really don't see how to create the double menu. Does anybody have an idea?
Put the video with the first language on the timeline followed by the video with the second language. Use chapter markers so you can have each video as a chapter in the menu.
I use Premiere Pro, so I can't give more specific directions. Perhaps somebody like ATR will chime in.
Also, I have another question: can I put videos from different projects in the same DVD with Premiere or must all of the videos that go into the DVD be in the same project?
Thank you very much!!!

They must be in the same project.

How to Create a LiveTrace Options Script

Hello everyone!
I am using Illustrator CS3 on WinXP Pro.
Let me begin by saying that this is my first attempt at scripting anything and any help would be truly appreciated. I have written a script:
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var mySelection = myDocument.rasterItems[0];
mySelection.selected = true;
app.selection[0].trace();
app.selection[0].cornerAngle = 180;
app.selection[0].fills = true;
app.selection[0].ignoreWhite = true;
app.selection[0].minArea = 0;
app.selection[0].pathFitting = 0;
app.selection[0].threshold = 256;
app.selection[0].tracingModeType = 'TRACINGMODEBLACKANDWHITE';
app.redraw();
This script is tracing the raster image (barcode). However, it doesn't appear that it is using any of the tracing options.
Does anyone know how to properly script this in order to utilize the tracing options and then expand at the end?
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Many Thanks!

I didn't hack this out, so I may be off - but from what i gathered from the JS guide :
the trace() method returns an object.
-- From the Guide --
A tracing object, which associates source raster art item with a vector-art plugin group created by tracing.
Scripts can initiate tracing using PlacedItem.trace or RasterItem.trace. The resulting PluginItem object represents the vector art group, and has this object in its tracing property.
ie:
myTrace = app.selection[0].trace();
myTrace.cornerAngle = 180;
myTrace.fills = true;
app.redraw();
myTrace.expandTracing();
