Importing graphics with variables

If I import a graphic with a variable, and then a bit later
import a
different graphic with different sizes, the icon still
reports the
dimensions of the previous graphic. What can I do to update
the reported
values?
I'm using aw5.2
Thanks

Without opening Authorware at the moment, isn't there an 'As
Is' vs.
'Scaled' option somewhere on the display icon's property
inspector?
Even if so, I don't know if that would work anyway. I recall
that I
could never get images of various sizes to display in any
dimension
other than the one first linked-to, but that could be fuzzy.
Check the Property Inspector options. If you have the
settings as you
think should work but the second image still displays at the
first
images size, try erasing then redisplaying the icon...

HT4641 Importing graphics with with transparent backgrounds such as .psd or .eps

I want to use this for an art project for my sons class. Can I import .psd files with transparent backgrounds as per Word, to retain the clear cut shape/opacity of background. Or can I import .eps illustrator files with transparent backgrounds? Thanks.

If you need transparency - as I stated - you need to convert the image to GIF. PSD is a layered graphic workspace file specifically for PhotoShop; EPS can be read by more applications, but is still basically a graphic print format. It might serve your customer needs, but wouldn't be the format I would recommend for general distribution. Typically you wouldn't embed EPS in another file, it would be the container for the print ready document (and the concern for transparency would be somewhat moot).
However, I'm not familiar with the intimate details of your project or customer needs, so take that for what its worth.

Import and Export variables with same name

The nco3 throws and exception when a function has Import and Export variables with the same name.
An example is BAPI_BATCH_CREATE.
At the moment my solution is create a ZBAPI_BATCH_CREATE that wraps the original BAPI but has diferent names for import and export variables (IBATCH and OBATCH for BATCH variable).
Anyone has another more clean solution?
VB.NET CODE:
pFunct = foRFCDest.Repository.CreateFunction(fsFunctionName)
This is the error message:

How to import files with static variables into a block with methods?

i have a problem. is it possible to import files with static variables into tags like
<%!
//here i want to import a file named settings.inc
//whitch is used to set jdbc constants like url,driver,...
private void method() {
private void method2() {
%>
<%@include file="xy"%>//dosn�t work above
//only in <%%>tag

This should be done using either the Properties class or ResourceBundle. Ex.
<%
ResourceBundle resBun = ResourceBundle.getBundle(String resource);
String username = resBun.getString("username");
String password = resBun.getString("password");
// etc
%>

Problem in calling of stored procedure with variable parameters

Hello!
When we try to call our stored procudure with variable parameter (year and month) we receive various errors.
Here's the dynamic package script code:
DEBUG(ON)
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,"Please select time for restatement",%TIME_DIM%)
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,%APP%)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\%APP%\zbpc_to_fm.lgx)
TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,SIMULATION,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,CHECKLCK,0)
Our logic script file (zbpc_to_fm.lgx) code is:
*RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE=ztest('%TIME_SET%')
*commit
The problem occures while transferring the variable parameter %TIME_SET% value.
How can we correctly transfer the selected value of TIME_SET into the procedure?

Everything in the debug log looks correct -- the most important lines are the ones indicating the values passed from the user's response to the PROMPT(SELECTINPUT...)
INFO(%CATEGORY_SET%, BUDGET)
INFO(%ENTITY_SET%, 1733)
INFO(%FUND_SET%, )
INFO(%PROJECT_SET%, )
INFO(%TIME_SET%, 2008.NOV)
Are you certain that the stored proc is processing the input parameter for time correctly, when you run it directly in MS Mgmt Studio?
What error messages do you see running it from BPC?
By "customized user authorities" do you mean that the time dimension is secured, and this user has access only to 2008.total and its descendants? If that's the case, the user should be able to see only those members in the action pane / current view, but the SELECTINPUT prompt should only show the base members (and not the year total and quarters). I'm still confused as to why all 12 + 4 + 1 members are passed through to the stored proc.

Width Wrong for Imported Graphics in Frame 9

Has anyone else had issues with Framemaker detecting the wrong width when importing graphics? As an example, when I import a JPG of a button that should be 21 x 21 pixels, Framemaker displays the width as 24px and the height as 21px. This results in a smashed graphic. If I adjust the dimensions of the graphic in FrameMaker to the correct dimensions, then print the PDF, the right border of the image is off.
I have tried capturing the graphic a variety of different ways, and I always experience the same results. I can import the graphic into Captivate or Word and the sizing is correct. Any ideas? Thanks!
I am using FrameMaker version 9.0p237 as part of the Technical Communication Suite 2.

I just tested this with a sample file at the 21x21 dimensions, and you are absolutely correct. FM9 screws up the dimensions (and default dpi resolution) for PNG and GIF files. I also tried BMP and TIF equivalents and these were ok. FM8 does not have this problem, so it looks like Adobe played with the PNG and GIF filters a bit (perhaps to get rid of all of the extra colours coming in).
For a JPG or PNG import of a 21x21 at 96dpi, FM9 seems to think that it is 24x21 at 110dpi. FM8 gets it right.
For a GIF import of the same, FM9 thinks it is 22x21 at 75dpi. FM8 got it right.
What's also strange is that if the dimensions are both even, e.g. 20x20 at 96dpi, then FM9 gets it right for the JPG, PNG and GIF. However, if the *first* dimension is odd, e.g. 21x20 it gets it wrong again as before, but if the second dimesion is odd, e.g. 20x21, the it gets it right. VERY WIERD!
It's definitely a BUG.
I would suggest that you either use BMP or TIF for now OR try to increase your icons by 1 pixel to make them an even size, e.g. 22x22.
I'd also recommend that you not use JPG for these, but rather GIF or PNG, because you may generate some unwanted artifacts in the JPG due to the lossy compression used.

Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?

Imported logos with alpha channel in titler bug

Hi!
If I import this logo in Titler the small black text disappears, but if I import it to premiere then All OK.
Why?
LD_logo_3d_horizontals.png

OK, while it is a bug in the Title Designer as far as I am concerned, it is the same one from the very first Premiere Pro version.
The Title Designer does not like graphics with partial opacity. Your PNG file is partially transparent.
This is your graphic blown up in Photoshop. It is obvious to me what the problem is when I look at it.
I took your text and filled in all of the partially transparent pixels with solid black, and it worked in the Title Designer just fine. I didn't do it carefully, I just sampled the lighter pixels and filled them in. The text got a bit ragged when I did that.
I don't know what font that is and I don't have time to figure it out right this minute, but I suggest that you delete the text and type in new text. Or, very carefully fill in the light spots in the text you have.

Imported mpeg with asynchronous audio

Hello together,
i've got a little problem while creating a film for my brother.
I captured some old family videos with my video card and the software i used saved them as mpeg 2, with variable bitrate in video and constant bitrate in audio which is mp2. This video is playing properly in media player classic and vlc.
After importing one of these files i found out that audio and video are asynchronous playing in the preview video.
I looked into the elements help about this issue but there only was the hint to change the file format to avi. They do not tell which kind of avi i should use.
So, not knowing which file format to use i tried a lot with different containers, different video codecs and different audio codecs... I think it was about 20 or 25 different combinations from h263, h264, divx, xvid, flash, wmv7/8/9, mpeg2, DV, theora and so on. I used avi, mpg, mp4, mov, ogg and wmv as containers.
Half of these outputs were alreday asynchonous with the normal video playing software and the other half was asynchronous in PRE 9.
Has anyone got an idea what i could try? Is there a format combination that will work properly? Or can i change something in my source mpg to play properly?
Thanks in advance,
Norman Maehler

I did not know that it could capture to DV-AVI, but i cannot capture all files again, because its 20 hours of movie and it should be a present for my brother to his birthday which is already over... Besides i have to stay at the player because the video is quite old an broken at some times...
Next time i will try to use the DV-AVI.
But why can PRE import mpeg2 films while it cannot handle them properly? They are not asynchonous, because the can be played perfectly in sync with several media players?!
I converted one mpeg2 file to DV-AVI and imported it into PRE. There now the audio is quite good, but the video is too fast and makes some loops while playing in PRE. My media players are playing the file perfectly again...
By the way: I am using mencoder behind the Super-Gui to reencode my Video-Files if that may help?
Edit: @ nealeh It did not give me the choice for DV-AVI, because i was not recording from DV-Camcorder...
Edit2: Now with Avi container, DV-VIDEO as Video Codec and WAV-(pcm 16 little-endian) as audio codec the file is 5 times larger than before but it works

Strange Facet of Imported Graphic: ò\e2

Hello Framers,
I am using Frame 7.1 and have just taken over a project from a colleague who is sometimes, er, careless with best practices.
So I MIF-washed all files (replacing all OLE2 graphics) and tried to save as RTF. Frame crashed. I looked at the Object properties of some imported graphics and found this:
A minute later I looked again at the same properties again and the Facet was "DIB" -- in other words normal.
This is the same graphic, same command (!go). In between I had looked at some other graphics and seen another with the strange facet. Because it is intermittent it was hard to get such a pair of grabs.
I looked in the MIF and could find nothing unusual (but I am by no means a MIF-guru).
Has anyone else seen such strange facets? Or have any ideas? As a workaround I shall try re-importing all graphics and hoping that the problem does not come back.
--- Derek

Thanks Sheila and Art,
Since this is an intermittent problem it's hard to investigate. I entirely agree about BMPs and embedding, but I inherited this project and that's how it is.
I do the Save As RTF because my SME is enamoured of Word; I convert the RTF into DOC and he can then edit in his favourite tool. With Track Changes I can then see what needs to be done in the Framemaker source.
I have Windows XP SP3 running with 2GB RAM so I don't think I am hitting a resource limit.
Before posting I had extracted all embedded graphics and included them as PNGs by Reference. But Save As RTF still crashed on one chapter; it was while investigating the graphics in that chapter that I stumbled on the strange facet problem.
I'm 99% certain that the Save As RTF crash is related to the graphics; if I delete all graphics the save goes OK. I cannot say for sure that it's related to the facets but an intermittent crash related to an intermittent strange facet sounds mighty suspicious.
Yesterday after posting I re-embedded all graphics (delete and re-import with ! f i f ) but it still crashed. So I converted the larger graphics to PNG and re-imported them. I tried a quick Save As RTF and it worked. Hurrah! So I repeated the Save, this time to another directory, and it crashed. This morning it crashed again (but not before I had made a copy of the successful save ! ). There are still small graphics (screen caps of buttons in running text) but it will take me ages to convert all of them (it took an hour to do the larger graphics).
Thus I have files to keep my SME happy for now, but there may be some nasty surprises waiting for me somewhere down the line. That's why I'd like to nail this to the wall. I'll try Art's suggestion of yet another MIF-wash (which will be the third) and report back if there's anything new.

Import graphics that don't need to be rendered?

Is there a graphic format for stills that I can bring into FC4.5 without having to render on the time line? I’m importing folders full of stills (screen grabs) to create narrated slideshows, and having to re-render every time I shift a transition point...boring!
Thanks!
dc

Interesting; so might I select a different codec until I’m done editing and ready to export, then switch back to Animation?
Ultimately, I’m knocking the file down with Squeeze, exporting as QT using “Current Settings,” and getting beautiful results with tiny files, at 6 fps. Btw, the imported graphics are the same size as the project.
Appreciate the comments.

ALV with variable columns

Hi All,
I have to do a ALV with variable no. of columns. i.e Depending on the data , the columns should get populated.
Thanks in advance.
Dnyanesh

Hi Dnyanesh,
    If you know the no. of columns to be used in the ALV before hand then you can change the field catalog.
but if you dont know the no. of columns then you can create dynamic table.
eg:
1. Create your field catalog either manually or automatically using the function module, LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE. Add more rows to the field catalog table (T_FIELDCAT) at run time.
2. Use the field catalog to create a table dynamically using the method below.
DATA: T_OUTPUT TYPE REF TO DATA
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <T_OUTPUT> TYPE TABLE
Call Method CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE->CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE
Exporting
IT_FIELDCATALOG = T_FIELDCAT
Importing
EP_TABLE = T_OUTPUT
ASSIGN T_OUTPUT->* TO <T_OUTPUT>.
Now the field symbol <T_OUTPUT> is pointing to an output table of the structure that contains the fields which were determined at runtime. Now fill this table with the data and pass <T_OUTPUT> to the method SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY and the ALV grid should show the data properly.
Example:
*the content of itab will be fields of the new table
loop at itab1 into wa1.
Gs_FIELDCAT-TABNAME     = 'itab2'.
GS_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME = wa1-packid.
GS_FIELDCAT-OUTPUTLEN = 2.
GS_FIELDCAT-KEY         = space.
GS_FIELDCAT-SELTEXT_L = wa1-packid.
GS_FIELDCAT-COL_POS     = 1.
GS_FIELDCAT-JUST        = 'L'.
APPEND GS_FIELDCAT TO GT_FIELDCAT.
endloop.
LOOP AT GT_FIELDCAT INTO GS_FIELDCAT.
     MOVE-CORRESPONDING GS_FIELDCAT TO ls_fcat.
     APPEND ls_fcat TO lt_fieldcat.
ENDLOOP.
CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
             EXPORTING it_fieldcatalog = lt_fieldcat
                      IMPORTING ep_table = t_output.

Generating a List of References in FM12 to include External Cross-References and Imported Graphics, but no Imported Graphic references show in the LOR. Is this a bug in FM12 or what am I doing wrong?

and has always generated the list of references just fine. Now in FM12, the LOR no longer will give any references for the Imported Graphics. I have even tried creating a new chapter from the FM12 templates, adding the chapter to the front of the book, and allowing FM12 to use that file as the template for the LOR. Still no success - it will not give any references to the Imported Graphics in my chapter files. Is this a bug in FM12? Is there something different about FM12 that would cause this not to work with existing FM11 files??? Please help, I need this resolved and working.
Thank you,
Beverly

Arnis and Jeff,
Thank you both very much for your assistance. I was able to figure out why the Adobe Application Manager kept failing on installing the patches. Idiot me didn't unzip them first. Once I unzipped the patch files, the installer worked fine. Both patches are now successfully installed; my FM version is now 12.0.2..
To answer some of your questions:
Yes, I have administrator privileges on my PC.
Yes, I had all of the files in the book opened when I generated and/or updated the LOR file. So that was not the issue.
With the patches installed, I opened a book and all of its files. I updated the LOR and all works fine – it gives me all of the Imported Graphic references. So there must have been an issue with that release of FM12 (12.0.0.329), which was fixed with the patches.
Again, thank you both for your help!
Best regards,
Beverly

Connection Pool with Variables

Hi i am a newbie to Obiee and i want to know how to import tables into a connection pool with variables in place of Data Source Name: valueof(DSN_DM) username:value of(DSN_DM_USER)
like that i want to import my new tables into this connection pool how i can do that. i tried importing but it is coming as a new subject area.
Can any Body help me
Thanks

Hi copter,
Firstly you imported some tables and again as adding tables your are using variable in connection pool and importing tables then it takes as a new subject area only.....Instead use this variable connection pool to import all tables from scratch and then work on it.This would do.
Either if it is a seperate subject area pull the columns needed from both the subject areas and work on it.Before doing that you need to establish joins between the subject area tables.
