Hyperlink in Extension Panel

I guess many of us are scrambling to update our extensions now that Adobe has banished Flash.
Can some one help me with creating a link from my panel to a web page?
I am using the "Hello World" sample which has the following files that need code:
index.html
main.js
hotscripts.jsx
Thanks in Advance - Sam

In index.html file add this code below <body> and <div> tag
<a href="url">Link text</a>
in url type the address of website/page and in Link Text replace it with what every text you want to show.

Extensions Panel greyed out in Photoshop CC on a Mac. Can't open Mini Bridge

I've just (yesterday) joined the Adobe Cloud, with full access to all the Adobe programs.
Opening Photoshop, I also wanted Mini Bridge open but the 'Extensions' item on the 'Window' menu is greyed out and can't be selected.
I've tried opening Bridge first, the Photoshop and vice versa, either way, the problem is the same. I've checked the Photoshop Preferences under 'Plug Ins' and made sure 'Load Extensions Panel' was ticked (which it was originally)
So, basically, no matter what I try, the Extensions Panel seems to remain greyed out.
Can any of you good people come up with the reason why this is happening and how I can solve i please?
Many thanks in advance

My main plug-in (resize 8) is not yet compatible, and so PS thinks there are no extensions, hence it's greyed out. but it took several days of troubleshooting to find this out.
If your resize 8 plug-in is from onOne then you need to install version 8.5.1 for the plug-ins to be available through extensions. Even before the 8.5.1 update to the suite the resize 8 plug-in was available via the File->Automate... menu item after a re-install of the suite so it detected CC 2014.

Open file dialogue hangs with extension panels

Hi. I have PS CS5 64 bit running on a PC, Win 7.
Everything has been working fine but I have recently installed two new extension panels - Fundy Image Brander and Tych Panel. When either of these scripts require you to input a file to open via the Open File dialogue box, everything hangs for 2-3 minutes. The mouse and keyboard do not lock and you can open up other windows which work fine. The open file dialogue just hangs (not just on selecting an individual image but selecting a drive or folder). If you call up the Task Manager and End Photoshop as a task a dialogue box pops up with the mesage "The system cannot end this program because it is waiting for a response from you."
Photoshop otherwise works well. It's just when the extension panel requires you to input a file to open. Has anyone else encountered this problem or has any ideas?

Hi. Both are extension panels. Fundy Image Brander is a paid for extension (http://www.fundysoftware.com/image-brander/) and the other a free extension (http://lumens.se/tychpanel/).
I have seven extension panels running and these are the only two that require the user to set file input locations.
Photoshop otherwise works just fine and I have no problems opening files. Other Windows programs also run without any problems. It's just these two that hang when the select or open file dialogue appears.
And no I haven't contacted the producers.

Resizing Extension Panel does not layout Flex controls at all, simply scales stage

Hello,
I'm having this issue with Extension Panels in Fireworks compiled with the Flex 4 SDK. When the panel is first opened, it has the correct dimensions and controls are laid out correctly. If I resize it at all, it scales itself instead of laying out it's controls to take advantage of the new space. This doesn't seem to occur when using Flex 3's mx:Application, only Flex 4. Any ideas?
Before Resize:
After Resize:
This occurs no matter the Application container control I use - mx:Application, mx:ApplicationWindow, cs:CSXSWindowedApplication, and so on.
My Application MXML is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cs:CSXSWindowedApplication
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
xmlns:cs="com.adobe.csxs.core.*" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

width="200" height="200" historyManagementEnabled="false" showStatusBar="false">
<s:Button label="Click Me" />
</cs:CSXSWindowedApplication>

So they key is apparently to have this as a compiler flag:
-includes=mx.managers.systemClasses.MarshallingSupport
And in applicationComplete:
CSInterface.instance.autoThemeColorChange = true;
Also use CSExtension as your base application class/component.

Path to the extension panel's directory from ExtendScript .jsx

Hi!
Is there a way to get the path to extension panel's folder from the external (or embedded) .jsx script?
Both $.fileName and "catch( err ) { where = File(err.fileName); }" return the path to "Adobe Photoshop CS5".
Thank you!

I read the original post wrong.
This is the function I use for InDesign scripts:
getScriptsFolder = function() {
    try {
        var script = app.activeScript;
        return new Folder( script.parent.parent );
    } catch(e) {
        // we are running from the ESTK
        var script = File(e.fileName);
        var a = script.absoluteURI.split( "/" );
        var a1 = [];
        for ( var i = 0; i < a.length; i++ ) {
            a1.push( a[ i ] );
            if ( a[ i ] == "Scripts" ) {
                a1.push( a[ i + 1 ] );
                break;
        return new Folder( a1.join( "/" ) );
Running as a script in ID, it'll just return the scripts folder. But, if that line errors, ES error objects contain a reference to the script File.
I don't know if this will work in the context of a CS Extension panel or not, but it's certainly worth a try.

No login available in Business Catalyst extension panel in Dreamweaver CS5.

I am not getting the login form in the Business Catalyst Extension panel in Dreamweaver CS5.
I have added the extension and restarted Dreamweaver, but the panel still shows two buttons: Get Started ( taking me to download the extension) and Learn More ( taking me to a page that does not exist anymore).
Does anyone know how to make the login form appear so that I can get Business Catalyst integrated with Dreamweaver CS5?

Photoshop CS6 Extension Panel

I am a Creative Cloud member. After installing the last update, my extension panel is not showing the icons associated for some of my extensions. For example: I have Russell Brown's extensions: - Adobe Edit in ACR and Flypaper Pro, which is supposed to show a colored icon with the letters ACR and the other a colored icon with a picture of a fly. Now for these extensions, it shows a pictures of LEGOs - I guess that's Adobe's icon for a plug-in. All of these extensions are showing in: Window>Extensions. What's going on?
This is what I see in my extension panel:
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have seem to fix the problem, I uninstalled Photoshop and all of Creative Cloud - including Application Manager.
I download and reinstalled Application Manager, then reinstalled Photoshop and all my extensions seem to be working again.
I was getting some errors in Application Manager when I tried installed After Effects, so I decided to reinstall everything and seems to have done the trick... have you tried this @princess0333?

Extension panel greyed out in cc 2014

how do i get the extension panel to work in cc 2014 it is greyed out?

I don't think it's a bug. As mentioned below, for the plugins to work, they need to be updated to work with the new architecture that Adobe is using for the 2014 apps. Many devs have already announced updates are available for their plugins, like Red Giant, and many others on the way. So check with each plugin developer to see if updates are available.
Again, please keep in mind that Adobe haven't specifically said this. But it's documented that plugin developers have had the new architecture specs for at least a few weeks, and have been working on updates because the new versions are NOT COMPATIBLE with the old plugins.

How do i minimize an indesign extension panel?

i have tried using NativeWindow's minimize method but it seems to just minimize the AIR app frame within the extension panel frame. what i am hoping to achieve is to mimic what happens when the user clicks on the '>>' arrows in the upper corner of the extension panel frame from within the extension... any ideas?

Nope. In windowed view that's just the way it works now. It takes advantage of the new Windows features, such as Taskbar Live Previews.
Note that if you use Tabbed view (opposed to opening new documents in windows) you will find that it does not do this, but that the tabs all remain on the display and you can move through them.
Switching from windowed view to tabbed view takes some getting used to. I was once a die-hard windowed view user, then was forced to use tabbed view for a while to work around a plug-in bug. I found it grew on me. I suggest you try it for a while.

Illustrator CS6 loses keyboard focus when using an extension panel

OS10.8.2 CS6. When clicking a button on any extension panel (even supplied Kuler), it seems that Illustrator can't get keyboard focus until something else on the screen is clicked. Anyone know a way to fix this? I need to be able to use the keyboard to copy or delete a selected object right after running script....

Read return values in CC Extension Panel

I am trying to read some information back to a javascript file in a CC extension panel. I am trying this which according to all the samples and documentation should work.
>> js/host/main.js
var getEnvironment = function(){
    var res = "1234";
    writeLn('returning '+res);
    return res;
>> js/main.js
function onLoaded() {
    var csi = new CSInterface();
    csi.evalScript("getEnvironment()", function(result) {
        console.log(result);
When I load the extension, I can see the line "returning 1234" displayed in the info panel. However the console.log(result) will not print out the value. What am I doing wrong? This is as simple as it gets and I just cant get it to work!
Please help.

This is a common stumbling block in trying to create extensions for AE CC. Contrary to the documentation and common sense, the method you're trying simply won't work. Instead, you have to use custom events and event handlers to pass data around. See my replies in the following thread, especially my last one: How to make an HTML5/CEP panel
TL;DR of it is download this project from GitHub, run it, dissect it, and it will hopefully make more sense. It's intended for Photoshop but it will run just fine in After Effects (you might have to modify the manifest file).

LCDS Session Management using an Extension Panel

We have an app that executes in an extension panel(InDesign) using both amf and rtmp calls. The lcds server then makes rpc calls to an app which returns the data to InDesign. How do you manage the sessions so that each individual user gets their own session per instance of the app. All of the examples I have found are using javascript to call the disconnects etc. Since the app is using an extension panel and not a webpage/browser those examples won't work.

correct session management is configured at the web-app level in web.xml and
weblogic.xml
