How to open a file and display the complete file path?

In my script, I want to create a dialog that prompts the user to define a few variables for the script. One of those variables is the path to a template file. I want it to work the same way that an upload form works. You click the browse button, the dialog appears so that you can browse for the file and then when you click OK or Open, the full path of the file is displayed in the text box next to it. How do I do this with JavaScript? I got this far and it seems to be working, but the wrong text is being displayed in the text box. Plus: How do I properly restrict the file types to PSD. The code doesn't seem to work, despite the fact that there are no errors reported. Initially the Text box is blank, but After I browse for the file, the text box says: "File". Here is the problem area:
defineVars.STPnl.STBrowse.onClick = function browseST() {
var stbFile = File.openDialog("Select the Single Mugshot Key Template File", "File Types: *.psd, *.PSD");
defineVars.STPnl.STPath.text = stbFile;
Thank you to whoever assists me! :)

Change this:
defineVars.STPnl.STPath.text = stbFile;
To this:
defineVars.STPnl.STPath.text = stbFile.fullName;
The reason is that stbFile is a File object, you need to access its properties in order to get the full path.

The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
* The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
I suggest a couple of things.
- Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
- A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
Edit 1:
..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.

How to open a document out side the .war file

Hi all,
I have initially stored a document outside the WEB-INF in the .war file to retrieve it from a jsp file of the same war file. But now the file has been stored at a location on the same server and outside the .war file. how can I retrieve the file path and location outside the war file from the jsp. I ve previously used the following code when retrieving from a directory "docs" of the same .war file as:
<td class="FormLableLeft"><a href="#" onClick=window.open("/docs/<%=colData.get("DOCUMENT_NAME")%>")><%=colData.get("File_NAME")%></a> </td>please suggest me how to retrieve the document located outside the war.

Create a servlet which reads the file from the local file system and writes it to the outputstream of the response after having set the response headers accordingly. Then simply call that servlet by URL along with the file ID as request parameter or pathinfo. You may find this example useful: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html].

How to open an URL and close the URL window, using adobe javascript

Hi,
Is it possible to open an URL and close the URL back again(without allowing the user to perform any other operation)? I was able to acheive the opening of the URL, using the app.launchURL("address". true); - But here it lauches in new window, and how do i close the window using the javascript. Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi all
In addition to what Bobby W - Adobe TS added, you might find
the following useful as a bypass or workaround to the pesky prompt.
var pw=window.parent;pw.opener=window.self;window.open("
http://www.adobe.com");
pw.close();
I think this will only work for IE browsers. Actually, I
think the whole window.close() only works for IE, but could be
wrong about that.

How can I get a preloader to launch a main (external) swf file, and have the main file remove the preloader once it's fully loaded?

Using Flash MX, ActionScript 2:
I’ve been struggling for several weeks, trying to get a preloader to work on a large (~80 MB) photo portfolio file (using the method where the preloader is on frame 1 of the file, and when loading is completed, it jumps to the content). I’ve done countless tutorials, and none seem to work on my presentation. I even tried downloading a trial version of CS4 so I could export every one of the file’s library movie clips and images so that they load on Frame 2 (a feature MX doesn’t have). It takes about 20 seconds for the .exe to load from a CD, and no matter which preloader construction I use, it always seems to appear in the last few seconds before the movie loads completely. During the initial wait time, there’s no indication that anything is happening: no hourglass on the mouse, and not even a blank screen. This is only true for the first time that the file is loaded from the CD; on subsequent loads, the file must already be in RAM, because it loads within a few seconds.
I decided that I’m going to try and make the file which the user clicks on (one named Windows_Portfolio.exe or another called Mac_Portfolio.hqx) the preloader so that it would be tiny, and would load instantly. I want that file to launch the external huge portfolio file (renamed files.swf), keep track of its loading progress, and cycle through a slideshow (10 thumbnail images that transition into each other over 100 frames) proportionally, based upon the percentage of files.swf that had been loaded.
I assume that there should be a loadMovie() or a loadMovieNum() command on the preloader’s timeline to launch files.swf, and that the initial code of files.swf should have some sort of this._parent._visible=false or other way of deleting the preloader on level0. Can anyone explain the steps to me, or direct me to a good Flash MX tutorial that explains how to launch another external swf from a preloader .exe, keep track of its load progress, and delete the preloader .exe once the external swf had been loaded?
Also, I’ve read that, using this construction on a CD, every file has to be in the same place, and that I can’t nest files.swf in a folder named “files,” and reference it with files/files.swf. Is this true?
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

If you know JavaScript (ECMA Script) then you might be able to get it done applying a for loop and a random function
to the for loop if you know how to get a page-loaded request into JavaScript.
But an easier solution, if you know ActionScript 3.0, and if your SWF's don't need to be recoded and can load into a "container" SWF would be to create a master FLA file that loads your SWF's in a random fashion using Math.random() as a multiplier, though you won't see much variation if you only have 2-3 SWF's to load--if you had more than that then you would begin to benefit from the random function's capabilities. In ActionScript 3.0 use the load() method along with addChild() to load the SWF and add it to the stage. You will be able to search for specifics on how to code the FLA properly by using Flash's Adobe Help tool and also using an internet search.
-markerline
P.S. Once you have the master FLA coded you can Publish it to an SWF and an HTML and if the container/master SWF needs to be in a page with other content you can simply copy and paste the object and embed tags for the container SWF from the published HTML into any place on your master HTML that you need it to reside. You can then use CSS to control placement of the SWF object if it is in a div tag.

Reading from a text file and displaying the contents with in a frame

Hi All,
I am trying to read some data from a text file and display it on a AWT Frame. The contents of the text file are as follows:
pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1,
pcode2,pname2,price2,sname1,
I am writing a method to read the contents from a text file and store them into a string by using FileInputStream and InputStreamReader.
Now I am dividing the string(which has the contents of the text file) into tokens using the StringTokenizer class. The method is as show below
void ReadTextFile()
                    FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(new File("nieman.txt"));
                     InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(fis);
                     char[] buf=new char[1024];
                     isr.read(buf,0,1024);
                     fstr=new String(buf);
                     String Tokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(fstr,",");
                     while(st.hasMoreTokens())
                                      pcode1=st.nextToken();
                           pname1=st.nextToken();
          price1=st.nextToken();
                          sname1=st.nextToken();
     } //close of while loop
                } //close of methodHere goes my problem: I am unable to display the values of pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 when I am trying to access them from outside the ReadTextFile method as they are storing "null" values . I want to create a persistent string variable so that I can access the contents of the string variable from anywhere with in the java file. Please provide your comments for this problem as early as possible.
Thanks in advance.

If pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 are global variables, which I assume they are, then simply put the word static in front of them. That way, any class in your file can access those values by simply using this notation:
MyClassName.pcode1;
MyClassName.pname1;
MyClassName.price1;
MyClassName.sname1

How to compare two images and display the difference on Front Panel

I have attached two images.

The missing thing. You have to keep in mind that what you see is not the same as the camera sees.
So when using IMAQ Substract it gives you the difference of the value of every single pixel!
In order to find the mouse as only difference you have to manage that every other pixel value stays the same, e.g. with a proper lightening.
At the other hand you can combine different filters or alogorithms to get the object, e.g. if the object is darker or brighter then everything else in the image you could use a threshold and then use morphologic operations to get the objects size and position.

Include text file and display from text file

Ok. I'm found the site with the monkey on the the flash thing and all it shows is a name, email and something else and I used it and it works by including a txt file and displaying text from that file as putting down this information
name.text = this.name;
and I can't find the site anymore to get help.
I want to know how to include a PHP script that shows this information like this
text=something I need&username=My Name&email=[email protected]
I want to show this stuff on the flash but every time I execute by using it as localhost/test.php, it will show a sentax error.
This is really stressing me out and I need a lot of help on this stuff.
Can someone help me?

ok. let me describe something else.
there's 3 text boxes that is dynamic text.
one of them is called name
the other one is called email
and last one is called location
in the text file, it shows this for importing to the flash file
name=My Name&email=EMAIL&location=My Location
When viewing the flash file that you created, it shows the name, it shows the email, and it shows location.
When I do it on my own even with a text file, it keeps on saying that there is an error on line 1.
I found a site that shows how to do it and it shows what to put in a text file, and it shows the action script. On the FLA file that he shows me has a monkey on the flash file and it has 3 text boxes that I described above. As well as the text file, it is the same. I used the example and it worked but I can't find the example again. I don't know what happened to the website and I don't know what happened to the download I had but it is not downloaded any more. I have adanced systemcare pro so it clears out my recent web searches and my recent downloads so I can't find it. I did a google search on anything about action scripts. I even did a monkey action script search and I couldn't find it.
It's making me mad and I don't know what to do. This is stressing me out way more than you think.
UPDATE:
I did a google search on a file I found in my www folder and I found it. finally.
Here's the site.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm
now, I need to figure out how to load it from a PHP file.

Hi,
You can download a zip file like any files with the Webclient class, look at the details and examples in the msdn documentation for downloading content on demand it even talks about how to download and get a specific file from a zip archive.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc189021(VS.95).aspx
Besides, if you want to list the files,you could check articles below:

Reading a Blob (CSV file) and displaying the contents

Hello Experts,
I’m currently working on a system that allows the users to upload an Excel spreadsheet (.xls) in the system. The upload page is a PL/SQL cartridge. Then I’ve written a Java servlet (using Oracle Clean Content) to convert the XLS into a CSV and store it back in the database. (it is stored in the “uploaded_files” table as a blob). I’m trying to create another procedure to read the contents of the blob and display a preview of the data on the screen (using an html table (will be done using cartridge)). After the preview, the user can choose to submit the data into the database into the “detail_records” table or simply discard everything.
Can anyone provide me any guidelines and/or code samples for reading the contents of a blob and displaying it as an html table? My data contains about 10 rows and 20 columns in the spreadsheet. I’ve been looking into using associative arrays or nested tables but I’m getting confused about how to implement them in my situation.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

BluShadow,
Thanks for your response. The reason that it is a blob is that we use the same table for uploaded files for several applications. Some files are text, some excel, some other formats. Hence the table has been set up in a generic sense.
However, in my procedure, I'm using
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary and
DBMS_LOB.converttoclob
Is there any way you could possibly provide an example of how to read the contents of the file?

How do I work on my raw files and not the jpeg files that currently dispaly

When I launch Aperture my pictures display in jpeg format, I do however take all my pictures in both raw and jpeg. How do I convert and work on the raw files? Is my interpretation that I am working on my Jpeg files correct?
My thanks for any help provided.

The preference to import both and use RAW vs. JPEG as master can be set on import and you can convert on a project-by-project basis.
You can tell what Aperture is using a few different ways. If you select the meta-data tab then show the "File Info" (the pull-down menu) it'll show you exactly which file it's using as the master.
Also if you right-click over the mouse you'll see one of the pop-up menu options to "Set JPEG as Master" or "Set RAW as Master" (it'll show whichever one you aren't using -- so if it offers to "Set RAW..." then that means it's currently using JPEG.
To convert a whole project, it's as gocuk says in the reply above.... select the "Library" tab at left, make sure you highlight the Project you want to convert, then in the menubar pick "Photos" -> "Switch Project to use RAW as Masters" (which will only be bold and selectable if it's currently set to use JPEG).

How to FTP file and extract the zip file automatically?

Hi,
My app needs to FTP another site and also automatically unzip the transferred file over the internet by user clicking on one button. Any experts? thanks.

How do you open a can of beans before you take it out of the pantry?
However I suppose your question only sounded stupid like that, you didn't really mean it that way. One problem is that you didn't mention which way the transfer was going. I assume you are asking about getting a file and unzipping it? Many of the FTP clients described in the article that jmennen referred to allow you to get an InputStream that allows you to read bytes from the server. You would take this InputStream and wrap it in a ZipInputStream. That way you could unzip the file as you transfer it from the server, rather than having to use a temporary file between the two steps.
But if you really meant that you wanted the unzipping to take place on the server before you did the download, no, you can't do that.
