HTML Clipping

I'm writing an email client for a project called 'Full
Circle' and I've hit a wall when it comes to rendering html emails.
The two basic methods that I can find are the htmlText property of
the mx:Text component, and laying an HTML element over the flash
movie. But neither really work. The Text component crashes when you
send it anything more complex than basic text formatting, and more
often than not renders even simple text formatting wrong (from
Apple mail for example), and an HTML component is too limiting in
it's integration with the rest of the application. As far as I can
tell you can't clip an overlayed HTML component (contain it within
a scrolling container for example), nor can you create any popup
windows or have any elements cover any portion of it.
Where is the middle ground? Is there a way to clip an HTML
component? Is there a native Flex html renderer that actually
works? What do I do here?
Thanks,
Nicholas Stephan

I found the same thing, beautiful app. The problem is that
you can't lay anything on top of it. So if I want to render
something, then have a popup hover over the top, it just simply
won't work as the popup (TitleWindow or Panel) is in the flash
movie, which is under the iFrame rendering the html. I've emailed
Drumbeat, and his response was that "the HTML component is a wild
animal, you can't put it in a cage smaller than itself." Which
makes sense.
I've pretty much discarded this iFrame hack completely at
this point. What I'm looking for is a 100% Flex html
renderer.

  • Blog: Can't see HTML clips and YouTube

    I have tried to insert YouTube clips by following the Web Widgets/ HTML snippets directions. I can see the YouTube clip on iWeb, but not on the published site. What else should I do? I publish through .mac.

    Try to Empty the cache of your browser (Open Safari, go to Safari in your Safari menu and select Empty cache) and reload the page.
    If that didn't help make a 'Publish All' form the iWeb File menu.
    If that didn't help either you might provide a link to a page so someone could have a look at it

  • Is there a way to capture video of what you do in preview window

    i find it fascinating to toggle rapidly forth on a scene in the preview window.
    is there any way that i could capture this rapid backwards and forwards movement on video?

    If you upgrade to iLife 09, you can have fast motion, slow motion, reverse motion without any third party tools. [See this link for a screenshot and description|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#clip%20adjustments]
    You could also use a screen capture application like Snapz Pro X, or similar.

  • Assign a URL to an image in iWeb 2.0

    I want to insert an image to my iWeb 2.0 page and apply "Shadow" and "Reflection" to the image, but do not want this image source from a local file. Instead, I want to assign it a URL to an external webservice. Using an HTML snippet will solve the problem of external resource insertion, by using an IMG tag with its SCR property set to the external webservice.
    *But, I cannot apply "Shadow" and "Reflection" to an HTML snippet.*
    If anyone knows how to either:
    1. Apply "Shadow" and "Reflection" to HTML snippets;
    2. Source iWeb image from an external webservice;
    please post your answers here.

    This is not a great answer but it'll work in some cases: If the image from the HTML clipping is more or less static, especially at the bottom (like, say, a Google calendar insert, where the bottom is a blue bar with the same text and graphic all the time), use Grab to nab a copy of it, then use Graphic Converter or something similar to trim the edges and convert to JPEG. Then drop the JPEG where the HTML clipping will go, and scale to fit. Create a reflection of the JPEG, and, finally, drop the HTML clipping in a layer over the top of the JPEG. That way, it looks like the reflection of the JPEG is actually a reflection of the HTML.
    A bit of a kludge, but hey. If it works, it can be better than nothing, which, as I understand it, is pretty much the only other option.

  • Integrating flash

    I'm working with PHP/mysql for a dynamic ecommerce site.
    During a search, I am currently able to retrieve all information to
    display dynamically, such as thumbnails and product descriptions
    and so forth without a problem. I have a search.php, results.php,
    then detail.php product page. On my details page, I would like to
    retrieve flash video files to display dynamically, but to no avail.
    The .flv files are listed in the database in the field "ItemMovie"
    as .flv files and they do appear in my recordset "items" table in
    the bindings panel. I've found that adding an image file to a
    dynamic site is easy in DW CS3, but when it comes to adding a flash
    file it simply doesn't work (there is no "flash" placeholder
    that I know of). Right now, I've created a work-around on my
    details page by applying an open
    browser window behavior to a thumbnail placeholder (the
    behavior calls up the flash file which is
    already set as a progressive download on a standard html
    page) and I'm using this code in the URL of
    the behavior (items/CP_Windows/<?php echo
    $row_WADAitems["ItemCPWindow"]; ?>) with CP
    windows being those individual .html "clip preview" windows,
    but that's somewhat of an extra step
    and would require me to create hundreds of pop-up windows
    that link to the details page. I simply want the flash video file
    to populate in my details page during a search just as any other
    info would populate from my database. If someone could be of
    assistance, I would be very grateful. I'm no PHP expert (I'm
    actually somewhat new to it) so if you have any coding solutions
    please spell them out as best you can in layman's terms. Even if
    there's a plug-in that would allow me to do this, that'd be great,
    too! Thanks in advance!!!

    hey, try getting both communicated with XML

  • XML, XSLT and Omniportlet

    Hello, I hope I can find some help.
    Using 10.1.14.
    I'm importing an XML document. I don't know if it's in rowset/row format (don't know what that is).
    I use XSL to transform it. When I click "test", I see pretty much what I want. A table tag, a td with a value, a td with another value, this repeats 4 times. This is the number of "item" elements I have. Great. Everything is set to default.
    When I view my page, however, this is the response: Error fetching XML data. Or nothing, because I've tried many different configurations of XSL. When I view my page, it never works.
    this is my xml:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <record name="N/A" type="content">
    <item name="Title"><value>Disclosure of Position Reclassifications</value></item>
    <item name="Language"><value>eng</value></item>
    <item name="Other Language File Name"><value>/sm/srh/prh/cngc/dsc/Reclass_f</value></item>
    <item name="Content"><value>
    & lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="450"& gt;
    & lt;tr& gt;
    & lt;td colspan="3"& gt;& lt;h2& gt;Disclosure of Position Reclassifications& lt;/h2& gt;& lt;/td& gt;
    & lt;/tr& gt;
    & lt;/table& gt;
    ***LOTS OF HTML CLIPPED***
    Act& lt;/u& gt;& lt;/i& gt;& lt;/a& gt; does not appear on this web site.& lt;/p& gt;
    & lt;/td& gt;
    & lt;/tr& gt;
    & lt;/table& gt;
    </value></item></record>
    this is my xsl:
    <xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
    <xsl:template match="record">
    <table>
    <xsl:for-each select="item">
    <tr>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="value" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></td>
    </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
    </xsl:template>
    </xsl:transform>

    Hi there,
    I think missunderstand some basics.
    to display XML documents, omniportlet takes in input onlu XML docs like this :
    <rowset>
    <row>my 1st line</row>
    <row>my 2nd line</row>
    <row> ... </row>
    </rowset>
    That means that the XML tags of your document MUST be ROWSET for the group and ROW for each element.
    Omniportlet will render the previous XML fragment like this :
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>my 1st line</td>
    <td>my 2ndline</td>
    </tr>
    <table>
    So you got to write your XSL in order to transform your Initial XML in the rowset/row format. Omniportlet will take in charge of the HTML-table rendering.
    Otherwise, your XML is not written in a good way. It should have been like this :
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <record name="N/A" type="content">
    <Title>Disclosure of Position Reclassifications</Title>
    <Language>eng</Language>
    <OtherLanguageFileName>/sm/srh/prh/cngc/dsc/Reclass_f</OtherLanguageFileName>
    <Content>
    & lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="450"& gt;
    & lt;tr& gt;
    & lt;td colspan="3"& gt;& lt;h2& gt;Disclosure of Position Reclassifications& lt;/h2& gt;& lt;/td& gt;
    & lt;/tr& gt;
    & lt;/table& gt;
    ***LOTS OF HTML CLIPPED***
    Act& lt;/u& gt;& lt;/i& gt;& lt;/a& gt; does not appear on this web site.& lt;/p& gt;
    & lt;/td& gt;
    & lt;/tr& gt;
    & lt;/table& gt;
    </Content></record>I recommand you to have a look at XML tutorials : http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_elements.asp

  • Referencing HTML page from within a movie clip

    Hi
    Hope someone can help with this.
    I have a simple horizontal scrolling gallery of 24 thumbnails
    in Flash, the thumbnail images are loaded into the boxes using
    actionscript. I would like each thumbnail to link to a html page of
    my choice. There is a movie clip instance called panel with the 24
    buttons inside it and on the first button as a test I've placed the
    following action script:
    on (release) {
    getURL("team.html","_self");
    When testing this movie from within Flash (CTRL, ENT) the
    button links to the html file (which is in the same folder as the
    SWF) with no problem. The problem is when I preview the page in a
    browser and try to click on the first button nothing is happening.
    I've tried it in both IE7 and Firefox with the same result.
    The flash thumbnail clip is placed as a flash object into a
    html page using dreamweaver.
    I'm sure this is something simple such as navigating the
    timeline but I've tried a few things like _root. but still no joy.
    Hope someone can help.
    Thanks, Jo

    Try
    on (release) {
    getURL("
    http://site.com/team.html","_self");
    }

  • HTML/CSS animation clipped on iPad

    Hi list...
    When inserting html into an inDesign document intended to be published as an iPad app, I'm running into issues with seeing the entire html.  The bounding box that holds the html collapses down to the size of the "This is arbitrary html" message that's displayed in inDesign at design time.  Second, when viewing on the iPad, this collapsed box is fully black at first, and you have to touch it in order to see the now clipped html.
    Am I missing a setting in inDesign somewhere?  In the html, I attached styles to force the <body> and a <div> wrapper to be 500px by 500px.  That doesn't seem to help.
    Any ideas are appreciated.
    - Michael M.

    Thanks again Bob for following up.  I appreciate your diligence.
    I'm trying to insert an svg graphic, with some css animation.  That renders fine, but the svg gets shrunk down to fit the bounding box, and the bounding box is clipped.  Also, it's filled with black first until you tap it (only then does it display the svg).  Below is the html I'm inserting.
    Hopefully this is helpful?

  • Finding HTML behind Web Clip Widget

    Is there anyway that I can find the HTML for a Web Clip Widget that I have made?

    I'm not sure what you mean, but if you are looking for the URL of the page used to generate the widget, it's stored in the file:
    ~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.web-clip.plist
    You can open that file with TextEdit, but I've not seen any documented way to manually edit it - so unless you know how to read the formatting, don't tinker with it. You can certainly highlight and copy the URL to the clipboard so you can enter it into your browser or as text elsewhere.

  • Create previews of video clips with multiple thumbnail and export in html?

    Hi all!
    I am trying to make a list of the videos that i have shot with my digital camera....my 1Tb is almost full, so you can understand that is not that easy as looking into a folder with the big thumbnails
    this is the expectation: to find an app that can
    -create a preview of each video (qt, mov, m4v, wmv, avi, rm, etc)
    -create few frames that shows the content of the video
    -export the list of movies as web page, with the title of the video and the snapshot for each of them
    Do you know if there is any way to achieve this result, without making manually everything?
    I've found a software on pc, that i can use with parallels, but it takes just 1 shot of the video, and not multiple, with the result that is hard to get what is in the video, especially when the video is 10-15 min long, and the name doesn't help to recall what was happening in that video
    Is there a way to achieve these results with just the apps available on the OS or is there an external sofware to do that?
    thanks!

    This is how i resolved:
    I use a software called screen grabber, that reads video files and makes a sheet with previews
    then i use thumbsplus on parallels to load these sheets and create an html page with the sheets and thumbnails.
    Takes some time, is kinda cumbersome, but this gives me nice html pages with previews taht ar clickable (so you can see the full size sheet with the video preview).
    Maybe someone else will stumble on the same problem that i had and find something better than my solution

  • HTML video clips

    How do i go about converting these into a format which can be played on my Nokia 6630. Also on the few i think i have in the correct format i am unable to transfer them from my pc to phone using PC Suite, what could i possibly be doing wrong?
    Sorry for all the questions but i'm an amateur when it comes to this!

    Hmm.... this works fine when I drag and drop from my hard disk into the 'Nokia phone browser' with Windows Explorer.
    If you still can't get the dragging and dropping to work, fall back on the (faster) method of sticking your expansion card (MMC) into your PC card reader, and putting the files on there directly.

  • Problem with clipping and concerned objects (or rather their color)

    Greeting everyone,
    I hope i don't bother you with things that are already known or, in the end, are a product of my own stupidity ;P
    My problem is the following:
    I was working on a neat design for a list. The first version (without clipping) looked like this:
    [http://www.7pics.info/?image=GHApp-Gradient-Mobile-HowItShouldBe_2c5.jpg]
    As you can see on the bottom, the list was on top of all graphical elements.
    And because this looks stupid, i decide to simply clip the list via "clip: Rectangle{...}".
    Well... turns out it's not as easy as i hoped it would be; all of a sudden the list looks like this:
    [http://www.7pics.info/?image=GHApp-GradientProblem-Mobile-1_fb7.jpg]
    From the left to the right you see the following: first picture is what you'd see initially, from the second to the last i scrolled down one entry each (respectively moved the list up 30 pixels).
    Further scrolling down doesn't change the look, it stays like in the last picture.
    Scrolling up again delivers the same image, but in reverse order.
    The clipping seems to change something in the style of the list elements.
    To be more specific, the gradient of a single element is now applied to the whole list.
    here is a Listing
    //the group which contains the list and the clipping
    Group{
         clip: Rectangle {
              x: 0, y: 70
              width: PublicVars.screenWidth, height: 210
              fill: Color.BLACK        //which color i use doesn't change the look
         content:[
              createChoicesList()
    //create a box for each entry and add text from a string sequence "results"
    createChoicesList():Node[]{
          for(result in results){
                           singleField = Group{
                   Rectangle {
                        fill:  LinearGradient {
                             startX : 0.0
                             startY : 0.0
                             endX : 0.250
                             endY : 0.250
                             stops: [
                                  Stop {
                                       color : Color.LIGHTBLUE
                                       offset: 0.0
                                  Stop {
                                       color : PublicVars.coolGradientBlueTransparent
                                       offset: 0.5
    }I have no clue why this happens. I tried to shift some things around, thinking it had to do something with the order of some elements but... it didn't change anything.
    Another thing i noticed afterwards:
    If i run the App as a desktop program, the gradient effect is all messed up. but this time it doesn't matter if I clip the list or not:
    [http://www.7pics.info/?image=GHApp-GradientProblem-Desktop-1_d5e.jpg]
    The gradients are totally misplaced and if I scroll down they move and appear/disappear randomly across the list entries. sometimes the highlighted elements even look like this:
    [http://www.7pics.info/?image=GHApp-GradientProblem-Desktop-2_89f.jpg]
    Any Ideas?
    P.s.:
    Could it be that retrieving the resolution of a mobile device via
    "var screenWidth = java.lang.Integer.parseInt(FX.getProperty("javafx.screen.width"));"
    isn't very accurate?
    If i use the values i get from this method for the desktop application, the screen will be smaller than in the emulated mobile phone

    Not sure about your problem, but I can answer your last question: you can now use the [javafx.stage.Screen|http://java.sun.com/javafx/1.2/docs/api/javafx.stage/javafx.stage.Screen.html] class to get screen dimensions.
