How to import from / export to multiple flows

Hi all,
we have developed an FM unstructured template where each page contains basically two text boxes: a main text box where all the content goes (main flow), and an info text box where specific page-related information goes (info flow(s)).
Now, we want to make a Structured FrameMaker application out of it. My question is: Is there a way to direct XML content into a particular flow, depending on the elements (or whatever)?
I may add a question which is kind of off-topic from the above, but also not: How can I deal with the FM built-in line, circle, ... graphics in an structured application? I mean, how can I export and import them? I have no read/write rules found supporting these types of objects. If I have to write an import/export api client, how does FrameMaker behave when inserting a new line? I mean, how is the Structure View informed to do an update (knowing that my drawn line is a "line" element inside the structure tree with appropriate attributes)?
BR,
Conrad

Russ,
Thank you for your reply. So your answer confirms what I supposed after going through all the documentation. Probably, we will just keep to .FM format, because actually we do not need XML as source. This will keep things easy - and we can avoid an import/export client.
But the problem with multiple flows is also: you may mix unstructured and structured flows in a document, and "Validate" will not complain. So we have to set up our "own" validation to guarantee 100% structured flows.
The other questions: It was about the FM drawing objects, if there is a representation for EDD or read/write rules. But based on my research, I think there is no such representation, as it is e.g. for anchored frames (you click on an anchored frame and the corresponding element in the structure view is highlighted and vice versa).
Best regards,
Conrad

  • How to Import from an external HD to LightRoom.

    I am brand new to Creative Cloud and to LightRoom. I have read and listened to importing from a memory card but am unsure as to how to import from the backup drive from my older Mac Pro to my new iMac. The external drive is already the backup for the new iMac, is plugged in and working. I can see the HDD in the LR panel and can find the "pictures" folder within the dropdown. I am not sure if the "pictures folder (on the lefthand panel) is the old b/u or the iMac HDD. I can get to where I need to be if I can figure out what I'm looking at and what I should look for as to the 2 HDD's, b/u and/or iMac. I am aware of the righthand panel but the interactions are totally unfamiliar to me. Thanks for any help and advice. TCrowe

    If you are importing from a hard drive then you don't need to worry about the right-hand panel in the import dialog. You would locate the folder that you want to import in the left-hand panel. At the top of the import screen you would choose the "Add" option. This will add those images to your catalog without having to move them anywhere. If you want to place copies on a different hard drive then you would choose the Copy option at the top of the import screen. Then the right-hand panel will enable you to specify where you want the copies to be placed.

  • After "upgrade" to new firefox, bookmarks didn't transfer. Help tells how to import from another browser but not old firefox. Also my anti virus (latest update) apparently not compatible with 4.0 Can I restore my old version

    Question
    After "upgrading" to new firefox none of my bookmarks are in new bookmarks help topics tell me how to import from another browser but not from previous version of firefox. Another problem is my anti virus ( most up to date) is apparently not compatible with 4.0 liked the old firefox would never have "upgraded" had I known my anti virus wouldn't work. Can I get old version back

    Check with Kaspersky as to what versions of Firefox their programs are compatible with. It is up to Kaspersky to keep their stuff up to date as Mozilla releases new versions of Firefox. And if they are unwilling or incapable of doing it, they should inform their customers of such and maybe refund their customers instead of stringing them along.

  • How to import from old address book?

    Hi all, I've searched the net about my problem but with no result.
    I have an old mac (a G3 iMac running 10.3.9) with a lot of contacts on its Address Book, and I do mean a lot. The computer is completely dead, but I have a copy of the contents of its internal hard disk on a new mac running Lion. My problem is importing the old contacts into the new Address Book. The file formats have changed and the old files can't be imported into the new application, they are not even recognized as addressbook files. Obviously I can't export from the old system since it's not running. The old AddressBook.data file is a terrible junk of names, addresses, telephone numbers and everything else organized in an incomprehensible way (I can't just manually copy the addresses from the file). Does anyone know how to import those contacts into the new format? Otherwise, I'll have to find somebody who owns an old system with an old Address Book application so that I can export the files from there. Thanks a lot

    As it's been 3 months, you probably have resolved this by now, but I had a similar problem today and resolved it with help from a tech at the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store.
    If you ever backed up your "Library" folder from your old Mac, it contains the "Application Support" folder which in turn contains the "Address Book" folder.
    On your new iMac, running Lion:
    1)open Finder
    2)select "Go" on the menu
    3)with the "Go" window open, press and hold down the "Option" key on your keybord. Doing this will expose the hidden "Library" folder.
    4) in the Library folder you will find "Application Support"
    5) in the "Application Support" folder, you will find the "Address Book" folder
    6) assuming you have the old "Address Book" folder from within the backed-up "Library Folder" from you old iMac, delete the "Address Book" folder on your new iMac and copy your old backed-up Address Book folder to the "Application Support" folder in its place.
    7) Open the Address Book application and you should see your contact records. 
    I just finished doing this and it worked for me.
    Cheers

  • How to Import from  Web Page or QuickTime movie

    Help! I accepted what I though was an easy assignment to make a DVD of a web page clip
    so my sister-in-law can show it as part of the Veteran's Day program at her school. The
    clip is
    http://home.comcast.net/~carmat/scene4.swf
    A friend got it into QuickTime movie format for me but she wants it on a DVD
    so it can be played over the projection system that plays normal DVD movies.
    I tried using Toast and it burned a nice coster that plays a slide show with no audio.
    I could use some help on how to import a QuickTime move into something that
    will burn it to a DVD.
    Any help will be appreciated. Anybody need some DVD coasters?

    .. that is a very tricky file..
    ctrl-click on your link, choose from context-menu 'download file'.. got a 5.8MB scene4.swf file..
    opened that with QTpro + perian.org plug-in.. plays..
    'Export/dv' generates an audio-less file ...
    2nd try:
    using VisualHub, set output to dv.. boom!.. aborts.
    3rd try:
    using VisualHub, set output to h264 - audio only file ( ?? )
    but, now I have an audio-less dv + and a video-less h264.. so, I simply copy/add trimmed the audio from h264 to the dv file in QTpro.. tadaahhh , done.
    note:
    I mostly doubt, that all pics in this 'show' are free for use, and not © protected..
    for sure, the music has some © ...
    and: as the credits tell you, the whole swf claims a © ..
    be nice to copy rights ..

  • How do import from iphoto backup disk

    My wife cleaned out her iPhoto library the wrong way. She deleted from the albums and said photos are still in the photo library. I made disk backups from Share/Burn for her current albums. I started a new library but can’t fine how to import them back with the same  albums she had them set up as. I can import as Event names only.
    Any Idea?

    You can do this from within iMovie.  In the content library at bottom left of the iMovie window there should be an iPhoto icon.  if you click on it you can select the pics you want.

  • How to import from desktop (file) avchd in FCE4.0.1

    I copied from a camera onto my macbook avchd footage for later use in FCE4.
    I used the importcommand log and transfer.
    I have three maps; DCIM (empty), MISC (AUTPRINT.MRK) and PRIVATE with a lot of files.
    I tried all the maps (or files in it) to drag into L&transfer but that does not work.
    I am sure I am doing something wrong. How to import avchd footage in FCE?
    Thanks!
    Bruce.

    Read the section in the manual on log and transfer. Once again you can NOT drag and drop to the log and transfer window.
    If the application is crashing you have more serious problems.
    Do NOT go inside the folder structure of the SD card. Select the top level of the folder structure. If that crashes the application, you should take your computer to an Apple service technician.
    I'm assuming the the operating system was correctly installed, and the application was correctly installed from the disc in the Applications folder.

  • How to import a album with multiple artists in the one album?

    How do I import a album with multiple artists as the one album.  Everytime I try to do this it does not collate it into one album, the other artists come up seperatley, also if this is possible can you set so that it works automatically everytime?
    Hope someone can help.
    Cheers,
    Fuzzi G.

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
