Ignore overlapping elements

Is there a way I could create a button (on any shape) that has a hover state that is not overridden by the button's face text (text) that overlaps it?
Case scenario:
- I have a symbol with two shapes (button body) and (button text)
- On hovering over "button body", the desired animation plays...
- BUT, if the mouse reached the "button text" region, the animation is cancelled as the shape underneath "button body" loses focus.
- Essentially, the element "button text" must be visible but must be entirely inactive to mouse/touch events.
I have tried a few hacks for this but since the scene has many state changes, I would like to know if there's a real solution...

You might find this video helpful. As well as others by the same.

Jaxb unmarshalling: how to ignore unknown elements?

Hi,
I use jaxb 1.1 for communication with an external partner. (Took schema, compiled it, used generated classes for unmarshalling like this:
Document doc = /* some document building */
JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(MyConstants.JAXB_PACKAGE);
Unmarshaller unMarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
myObject = (MyObject) unMarshaller.unmarshal(doc);) Everything worked fine until they decided to add new elements to their xml-Document without notifiing me (nothing very unusual I think...). Now I get a javax.xml.bind.UnmarshallingException with Message "Unexpected Element". Is there any way to ignore such elements and just take the known Elements from the xml-stream?
Thanks in advance
Thomas

Update your schema with the following after you known elements.
<xs:any namespace="##any" processContents="skip" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>An extension point for arbitrary xml value fragments</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:any>

Overlapping elements in JList

Hi,
I want to develop a design tool which allows the editing and visualization of elements which are ordered linear. Each element has a start and end address so it is possible that elements overlap. This is an error case an should be visualized. First I thought to use JList to display the elements. But I think its quite difficult to realize the overlapping elements (JList entries). Is it possible with JList or it's better to draw gui representation myself ?
Thanks
Oli

Thanks for your post....I have already my own list cell renderer by implementing ListCellRenderer interface. In the getListCellRendererComponent I return a JLabel for each list item with different height (to visualize sizes). I can't see the possibility in this method to realize the overlapping. I get only the index no positions.

I try to create an html for IPad. The html page contains an element overlapping a video, now it works as for view but the focus is still with video. This denies the event of overlapping element from occuring. Can please anyone help to solve this issue?

Why does loadXML over-write attributes in data DOM even if 'ignore root element' argument is true?

I'm running Acrobat 9.4 if that makes any difference. This question was spurred by another discussion on inserting an item into a list. Basically loadXML is erasing the attributes on the reference node. For example, if domNode is a node in the data DOM and newXML is a replica of domNode's XML with some child elements changed and newXML_str is the string representation of newXML, then the statement domNode.loadXML(newXML_str,true,true) eliminates the attributes in domNode. A commenter in the above link states that it happens because the attribute is not stored in the data DOM as an attribute but rather as a child node with prefix '@' but if that were the case it would seem that saveXML should show it as a child element and not as an attribute. However, saveXML (as shown below) correctly shows the attribute as an attribute.
What I would like to happen is to have the child attribute node(s) preserved and the child element nodes replaced. It seems to me that if the second argument is true (ignore root element in xmlArg) then the root element in the data DOM (including attributes) should be unchanged but that is not what happens.
Here is some sample XML:
<docroot>
    <contact uid="29033737">
        <firstName>George</firstName>
        <lastName>Sinkenschneider</lastName>
    </contact>
</docroot>
Here's some JavaScript:
var domNode = xfa.resolveNode("xfa.data.docroot.contact.(uid.value=='29033737')");
var domNodeXML_str = domNode.saveXML();
console.println(" contact data node saveXML (domNode) = ".concat(domNodeXML_str));
console.println(" domNode.uid.value=".concat(domNode.uid.value));
var newXML_str = domNodeXML_str.replace("George", "Johnny");
console.println(" newXML_str = ".concat(newXML_str));
domNode.loadXML(newXML_str, true, true);
console.println(" DOM node after executing loadXML(newXML_str, true, true) = ".concat(domNode.saveXML()));
xfa.form.remerge();
Here's the console output from the script (including all the ugly line-feeds):
contact data node saveXML (domNode) = <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<contact uid="29033737"
><firstName
>George</firstName
><lastName
>Sinkenschneider</lastName
></contact
>
domNode.uid.value=29033737
newXML_str = <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<contact uid="29033737"
><firstName
>Johnny</firstName
><lastName
>Sinkenschneider</lastName
></contact
>
DOM node after executing loadXML(newXML_str, true, true) = <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<contact
><firstName
>Johnny</firstName
><lastName
>Sinkenschneider</lastName
></contact
>
Note that the uid attribute is missing from the final DOM node.

Looks like you may have found a bug .....If I append the new xml I see that the uid attribute is maintained (oit is not touching the root attribute). If I replace it then it seems that the attribute is ignored when the node is re-written. We will need to open a bug with support ...do you want to do that?

InDesign CS2 - don't want to ignore Whitespace elements

Hi,
I am working of InDesign CS2 on XP-SP2, while doing manual XML import i can successfully uncheck "Do not import contents of whitespace-only elements" but i can't do the same using script....
I am using following chunk of script in CS2 which doesn't work with ESTK2.
mydoc.xmlImportPreferences.ignoreWhitespace = false;
I noticed this works well with CS3 plugins in CS2. I need to resolve this with CS2 only. Let me know if you have any clue.
Thanks.

Under Document Offset, specify the number of lines that are to be ignored at the beginning of the document.
This enables you to skip comment lines or column names during processing. If you do not make an entry, the default value is zero lines.

Printing without spreads with overlapping elements.

My document is ready to print but my printer requires that I do not use spreads. I believe this is easy enough, I just turn off facing pages and send away. However, I have some elements that I want to overlap from one page to another. When I turn off facing pages I don't see an option to do this. How could I format this so my printers will still accept it?

Your printer may have asked you to not export the InDesign file as a PDF with spreads. That would make a single page out of each two-page spread, and because you likely designed the job in Reader's spreads (consecutively-numbered pages), it will be more work for the printer to impose the pages into Printer's spreads (where, for example, you might place the last page to the left of the first page in one spread, and the second-to-last page to the right of the second page in another spread). If you export without checking the Spreads checkbox, the PDF will use one page for every page in the InDesign file.
Talk to the printer and explain that you have some images that span a spread, and they will advise you on how to proceed.

Weird spacing and overlapping elements.

I'm running OS X 10.5.6 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo 24" iMac.
A huge number of web sites I view in Safari (3.2.1) and Firefox (3.0.1) have really strange spacing and elements of the site seem to overlap. Like the site is coded badly and not tested for mac.
I can't really remember if this problem started with a software update or if it has been there the whole time but It doesn't happen on my Intel MiniMac in work.
An example is this www.thrashermagazine.com . It works fine in work but is all crazy at home.
Anyone else having problems like this?

Layout cannot handle overlapping elements?

I have a custom component which elements visually overlap. I want to dynamically change the z-axis of these elements. In Flash Player, this usually means changing DisplayObjectContainer.setChildIndex() of the elements. Is it correct that the current concept of layouts (based on LayoutBase) does not easily allow to change the z-axis of elements? Currently, the z-axis seems (very) hard-wired to the position of the element in the group.
The quickest hack I've found is applying group.setElementIndex() though this is very expensive.
Thanks for a confirmation or any better hack,
Marc

I think you are confusing displaylist order with displayobject screen coordinates if you want overlapping objects that can have there priority changed (bring 1 object to the front) you can't touch the display depth(z-axis) of any of these objects, overlapping of visual objects is done exactly the same way as it was done before we were given a 3d co-ordinate system in FP10 on the assumption that you don't touch the z-axis.
If you want to use 3d co-ordinate systems you also have to adjust your programming techniques to suit, for example if an object is being zooming in on once it has a z-axis less than the object in front change the displaylist index order to match.

i think u can't modify the xml file using SAX
SAX is only for reading XML
for any modifications in xml file u have to use DOM parser....
correct me if i m wrong....

Overlapping elements and events

Hello all
I can't reproduce such scenario in Edge Animate: the large box has mouseover trigger, on mouseover the button appears - after click, the page opens. On box mouseout, the button disappears.
Have a look: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/145862/adobe_forum/Untitled-3.html
The problem is that when the mouse leaves grey area, mouseout event fires. If I put the layer with button below the large transparent box, button stays visible, but click event doesn't work.

what exactly is overlapping what?
Text overlapping box lines? - then adopt your according paragraph formats. attributes that can help you on this are: line spacing, space before, and space after.

The classpath is used for the task itself to resolve where to find the

Are you sure jdo1_0.jar is in the System classpath? While java task

take in a dynamic classpath, the actual tasks themselves require
jdo1_0.jar to be in Ant's System classpath (if you use the ant/ant.bat

You can also echo the classpath to see if it is listed there.

Overlapping elements mouseover DrawState

Hi guys!
Soo I'm really desperate and some hints or solution would be really appreciated!
I'm building custom framework for more than a year now that have some classes handling UI elements, since I want to draw elements exactly as I want. I've managed to make some goodies as drawing dashed lines, stack multiple images to build a skin with single element, but I have problems with the event handling.
I came to conclusion that you can override Group element behavior and design it quite nice, but at the moment you add custom .onDraw function, the group stops to receive MouseEvent-s, except in the Bubbling phase from a child element.
Best scenario:
Group 2 has images, borders and so on (custom onDraw) + receives mouse events (mouseover, mouseout, click) - simulates button element, but can have child elements. In this case Group 3 and 4 are children of Group 2 and Group 2 is child of Group 1:
Group 1
Group 2Group 3
Group 4
Closest so far:
Group 3 and Group 4 are children of Group 2. Group 2 and Button 1 are children of Group 1.
Group 1Button 1
Group 2Group 3
Group 4
The problem:
Button 1 does not receive "mouseover" when the mouse is over the Group 2 area. And because Group 2 is not child of Button 1, Button 1 can't have .addEventListener( 'mouseover', handlerFunction, false ) for the bubbling phase.
My workaround and the new problem:
I've decided to simulate "mouseover" event and update the onDraw method of Button 1 using the notify method of the element, but the onDraw method's DrawState always has mouseOver = false no matter what!
Simple code:
buttonOne.onDraw = function( /*DrawState*/ $drawState ){
    $.writeln( $drawState.mouseOver ) // always false except if the mouse is really over the button
function buttonOneMouseover( /*MouseEvent*/ $e ){
    $e.target.notify( 'onDraw' );
function simulateButtonOver( /*MouseEvent*/ $e ){
    var fakeMouseEvent = ScriptUI.events.createEvent('MouseEvent');
    fakeMouseEvent.initMouseEvent( "mouseover", true, true, $e.target.parent.buttonOne, 1, $e.target.window.location[0]+5, $e.target.window.location[1]+5, 1, 1, undefined, undefined, undefined, -1 );
    $e.target.parent.buttonOne.dispatchEvent( fakeMouseEvent );
groupTwo.addEventListener( 'mouseover', simulateButtonOver, false );
buttonOne.addEventListener( 'mouseover', buttonOneMouseover, false );
Any help is REALLY appreciated!
Cheers,
Tony

OK I've managed to hack another solution. I've added customDrawState and removeDrawState methods to my element's controller. They take as argument basic object that must override the original DrawState object that the element receives onDraw( /*DrawState*/ $drawState ). In my case the .mouseOver property of the DrawState object. Also dispatching custom event is useless if you override the draw state so calling the element's notify('onDraw') works like a charm. Beware that Custom elements do not have .relatedTarget for the MouseEvent object if you use addEventListener('mouseover') for instance. You have to use Button class instead in your UI.

Web service wrapper in FB4 ignores Element when Attribute exists

I created a web service wrapper in Flash Builder 4 using the "Data --> Connect to Data/Service... ".
The WSDL contains a type like this:
<xs:complexType name="Description">
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:string">
<xs:attribute name="languageCode" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
In the response XML this type looks like this:
<ns2:Description languageCode="en_US">My Description</ns2:Description>
In this case the code generator ignores the element value ("My Description") and just creates a property for the attribute (languageCode="en_US").
BTW: Not mixing elements and attributes in one type would be a possible solutions, but I usually deal with web services I did not implement and I therefore can't change.
Has anyone had this problem and hopefully solved it?
Regards,
Martin

Thanks for sharing your tips on this forum, as it will be useful for other users, that run into this issue.
Feedback like this will also help us improve error reporting in the next release, as missing class files in the packaged application is a common issue when developers are moving from the embeded oc4j instance packaged with JDewveloper to standalone instances.
