InDesign To SWF Strange Behavior Text Showing

Hi
I am using InDesign 5 (not 5.5.) with updates on a Mac. In the past I have exported SWF from InDesign without any issues. The current project is causing problems, namely when exporting either the full file is not exported, random text appears in the exported SWF (outside of the area where there is any text at all) or both the front and the underlying background on a spread are exported as two pages.
Kind of driving me nuts.
I took an older project that worked fine, re-exported that and the SWF was fine, which leads me to believe that it is something in the current InDesign document. The strange part is that the issue is not consistent, meaning that sometimes the first X number of pages work, sometimes the first Y number of pages work. And exporting small sections of the project work. When the entire project is exported though, the text issue (usually) crops up.
1.) I have deleted preferences (more than once)
2.) Exported IDML (more than once)
3.) Removed Master sheets
4,) Tried various combinations of export
5.) No warnings or errors are found in the document, and no overflow text errors.
Has anyone run into this before? The document is a long one and right now do not really have time to restart from scratch.
Not sure what else I should be chasing down to see what could work.
Thanks!

Thank you very much for that information, been beating my head against the wall and right now doing builds to see if the is something consistent.
Had been down the track many times in the last few days, figuring something had to be corrupted, but could not find a pattern or clear point where there was a problem, so it very well may be what you are saying, since the projects are all basically the same size give or take a few pages.
If it continues and it is not a clear cut "spot" I may need to revise to cut down the number of objects somehow. Have not really pursued that in the past (having not run into the issue) thought I saw some posts on the subject.
Will let you know how this goes when I try to put it together one last time.
Again, thank you for the information, thought I was losing my mind a bit

SWF Export, no font showing in Acrobat and zoom border problem (Acrobat & Reader) - Indesign CS6

Hi Everyone,
If anyone could help me on this that would be great, I've spent hours on the forums and manuals to no avail.
I'm making an interactive PDF brochure in Indesign for one of our new products and I'm having issues (actual or perceived??!!) with the SWF export and PDF creation. I'm placing animations and video in the INDD, exporting it as an SWF (with the text option as Flash Classic Text) and then opening the SWF (not importing to a word doc or anything, just opening the SWF) with Acrobat using the advanced options to import the video resources and to enable the content when the page is opened. I then save the file as a PDF. In the PDF everything works as it should, the animations, the buttons, the video plays and so on. Great.. hmm not quite.
The trouble I am having is that all the content of the SWF when viewed in Acrobat seems to be getting rasterised/flattened - is this correct? After the SWF is opened, Acrobat indicates no fonts in the fonts tab in the document properties so when the SWF is zoomed in Acrobat, or the saved PDF in Reader, the font gets pixelated and the document is not searchable/text can not be highlighted. The images are not selectable either - it is as if the entire page has been flattened to one image. Is there a way to stop this so that the SWF opened with Acrobat retains the font and individual images like a normal PDF? Do I have to open the SWF in Flash first to set some parameters or something? Is there something I am doing wrong when exprting the SWF from Indesign? I think I have tried about every possible export combination. When I open the .HMTL (exported at the same time as the SWF from Indesign) in a browser, the same happens. All the animations work but the text appears to be rasterised/flattened/not searchable. Sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology.
I have tried importing the SWF back into another new INDD and exporting that as an interactive PDF but then the video does not work. I suppose I could try exporting all the individual animations as SWFs, importing them all and trying to get them to work with the video but I can see that will take quite some time and does not seem to be a guaranteed solution from what I have read on the forums - video playback being the issue.
Another problem is that when the SWF, or saved PDF, is zoomed in Acrobat/Reader between approx 150% and 210% a thick white border appears in the document and the content is squashed into the middle creating a slightly pixelated and narrow page. When I zoom out from the page I get a small white line on the right hand border at around 70% zoom. Please see images. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
On another, sort of related topic, my timing panel went blank yesterday and was not showing any animations in documents that it had been used to order and synch animations on page load as well as new documents. The panel was blank. I updated to V8.0.1 and the panel sprang back into life - hope that helps anyone else finding the same problem.
I am not very familiar with Indesign/Acrobat/Flash so I guess all the above could be what I'm doing or I could be asking really dumb questions - apologies from a newbie.
Best,
Emily

Hi All,
I have now pretty much solved all the issues by creating the SWF in Flash rather than Indesign. I would advise anyone looking to create an interative PDF with animation and interactivity to go with Flash from the start. While Flash is a little more involved to create the same effects as Indesign, the extra time taken will ensure a more controllable and better looking PDF in terms of text quality, scalability and so on. Plus you will not spend days trying to get video to work along side imported SWF etc in Indesign. One of the best controls in Flash is being able to set the stage.scaleMode for the document so the PDF still looks crisp when zooming, no white borders etc. So, create the .fla, export to .SWF, open the .SWF with Acrobat, modify the advanced settings to enable start on page load and save as a PDF. If you don't know Flash, I didn't a couple of days ago, watch a couple of tutorials on Youtube.. buttons, tweens, embedding video and you'll be ready. Don't be put off by ActionScript, there are really handy Code Snippets in CS6 that do all the heavy lifting for you.
Sorry Indesign!
Best,
Em

Overlaying SWF Asset with layer components - Strange behaviors.

Hi !
I am brand new at Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst.
I have been spending most of my time in Catalyst at first and realized later on that I needed some of the nice features inside of FlashBuilder.
I created a few FlashBuilder components and brought them in Catalyst in order to speed up my designing requirements.
After bringing in several SWF assets in Catalyst I stumlbed upon a few curious behavior.
1. If I load SWF assets in a same page and if they are inter mixed with components layers issued either from Photoshop or made from within Catalyst, I am unable to select most of them. Only and only if I move them away from the other components, I can actually select them. They also become available when I make a test run, which they weren't before, if they were close or under other layerrs, but stll visible.
2. Is there a reason why the names of the SWF are not visual at the layer level within Catalyst ? All I see once the SWF are loaded is the terminology SWF Asset with the Skin name Wireframe. This also seems to be creating a conflict in how the SWF components are selectable, since every time I select one of the SWF Asset, it is the one at the highest level in the layer stack that gets selected and not the one that I am attempting to select.
3. I ran once into a problem which was related to Skin name convention where I was duplicating buttons that always kept the same Skin name, which made it impossible to re-use them, since any modification would affect all of the duplicated components. Why can't Catalyst create new Skin names in order to avoid this behavior?
I am pretty happy using Catalyst and Builder, but I gotta say that some of those behaviors are putting a dent in my schedule.
Anyone would have a few words of advice ? I am especially concerned with the "perceived" impossibiliy to use more than one SWF asset within Catalyst.
Thank you.

Oops, on looking back at my original post I can see I was not
clear on an important point. The layers that hold the three
different swf files are in Dreamweaver, one layer holds
Parks_Monuments.swf, another holds Land_Seascapes.swf and the third
holds Cityscapes.swf. As it works now you click on the appropriate
button on the left and through the use of Dreamweaver behaviors it
shows the associated swf by hiding the other two layers. BTW the
buttons are quite crude right now - no over or down states.
I realize I can't use the layers in an Actionscript to do
something but would it be possible to add a script to the down
state of a button so that it would show/hide the Dreamweaver
layers? I guess another way of doing it would be to put each swf on
a seperate page and have the script call up it's URL. Seems like
that would add a lot of overhead and duplicate uploading each time
the user switches photo categories.
Sorry for the confusion and thanks for taking the time to
give me some guidance - much appreciated.

Strange behavior with Label#setWrapText(true) in GridPane.

I've got a strange behavior with a Label, which has setWrapText(true) in a GridPane.
Check out the sample and click the button.
You see, that the GridPane suddenly behaves as if it had GridPane.setVGrow and HGrow set for the lblStatus.
(it takes the full available space).
Furthermore the first column shrinks to a minimum, so that lblText1 can't display its text anymore.
Tested with 2.1 GA.
Any help with that?

It seems the Label doesn't like it, that it is in a GridCell with rowspan = 2
If it is in a normal cell (no rowspan), it works.
If I add ColumnConstraints to the gridpane, it kind of works, but the Label still occupies more space than it should.

Strange behavior with Bindings??

Hello to all JavaFX 2 Binding experts,

What I need for my application is the use case in useBinding1(), i.e., a BooleanBinding where several listeners are attached to. The problem is that I never get a callback in the ChangeListener if one of the RadioButton.selectedProperty() is changed.
Now I tried what happens if I use the same BooleanBinding for another binding to a property plus the listener, now the listener gets callbacks as expected! (see useBinding2() )
Than I thought may be Bindings must be bound in order to trigger listeners and tried useBinding3() where I bind the BooleanBinding to a new BooleanProperty, in this case the listener doesn't get callback anymore...
And now I'm very frustrated and hope that anyone out there can help me to understand this strange behavior.
Thanks a lot!
WhiteAntelope

All these work just fine for me: the listeners are all called as expected. Note that the listener is only invoked when the value of the binding actually changes, which doesn't happen every time a radio button is pressed. (For example, if both buttons are unselected, the binding is false. If one button is selected, the binding remains false and the listener is not invoked. When the second button is selected, the binding becomes true, and the listener is invoked.)

Strange behavior with "insertTextAsContent"

Hi,
I've got a strange behavior with this loop :
for (j = 0; j < myParagraph.characters.length-1; j++) {
     var myCharacter = myParagraph.characters[j];
     if (myCharacter.appliedFont.fontStyleName == "Regular") {
          alert(myCharacter.contents);
          myXmlElement.insertTextAsContent(myCharacter.contents, XMLElementPosition.ELEMENT_END);
I loop through every characters of a paragraph, test if they are "regular", "italic", "bold"..., and store them in different xmlElement. Everything is fine except that every double characters (in french : homme, cette, elle, ville...) output in my xmlElement as one only character (home, cete, ele, vile...). I try with "aaaaaazzzzzzeeeeeerrrrrtttttyyyyy" and it give me, the same way, "azerty" ?!
The "alert" line output the correct full sentences character by character ("h", "o", "m", "m", "e"...).
If you have any idea to explain, you are more than welcome
Thanks
** edit : don't know if it's important but I'm using CS6 **

Hi
Have you seen this in the object model viewer?
XMLElement.insertTextAsContent (using:varies, position: XMLElementPosition ): Text
Adobe InDesign CC (8.0) Object Model
Inserts the specified text as content before, in, or after the XML element.
using: Data Type: varies
The text to be inserted. Can accept: String or SpecialCharacters enumerator.
position: Data Type: XMLElementPosition
The position at which to insert the text. Note that text inserted before or after the element does not become part of the content of the element. Instead, it becomes content of the parent of the element.
Don't ask me why it works when there is no doubled character
So i tried the following and it worked. I hope this will solve your problem.
function main() {
     if (app.documents.length != 0) {
        var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
        var myParagraph = myDoc.textFrames[0].paragraphs[0];
        var myXmlElement = myDoc.xmlElements[0];
        for (j = 0; j < myParagraph.characters.length-1; j++) {
            var myCharacter = myParagraph.characters[j];
            if (myCharacter.appliedFont.fontStyleName == "Regular") {
                alert(myCharacter.contents);
                myXmlElement.contents += myCharacter.contents;
                alert(">" + myXmlElement.contents+ "<");
            }     // if
        }     //for
    }     // if
}   // main()

Strange behavior - icon thumbnail instead of image - CC@OSX10.10

Hi,
my CC (@OS X 10.10.3) showing a strange behavior using vanishing point filter.
After defining grid and try to paste the image OS X paste the icon thumbnail instead of the image,
Many thanks in advance!!

It is probably related to the fact that you are setting the tables row height in the renderer this will fire a render message when the height changes. One height is applied to all rows of a table. This means that is you have images of different heights you are continually changing the tables row height and therefore continually rendereing.
My approach would be to have all the images fit into a set size ( say 64*64 ( with scaling if neccesary ) you could then have a popup show the full size image if required.

Strange behavior when I try to match a mpeg2 video with the menu size image

hello all,
got a strange behavior when I try to match a mpeg2 video with the menu size image,
menu size is 1920 x 1080 (photoshop file)
mpeg2 video 1920 x 1080 (1second 19 frames)
the idea is to go from the menu link to the next sub menu with a video as transition, using the same image on the video as the menu and then zooming in (in my case through a door) to end up after the zoom in the next level menu.
I try to achieve a smooth change from the first play menu picture to the video image into the next level menu picture,
everything works good but when I watch it on the preview mode on the left and right side of the video it shows a black bar at least 15 to 25 pixel wide, that means the video image appears smaller and it causes a little jump what is preety disturbing and can not be sold as a professional work.
why encore treats the video size and picture differently?
it's gratful appreciated if somebody who got experience in a transition I mentioned obove posting any solution,
thankl you all

Hi all
I'm having a very similar problem with Encore. My menu items are distorting (a minor but infuriating squashing top and bottom) when previewed.
Using Encore,PS,AE CS4
DVD format SD PAL DV widescreen
I created 3 menu frameworks and 3 video transistions to link them in AE. On the final frame of each transistion in AE I saved the frame with Composition>Save Frame to> Photoshop Layers. In PS i added the button functionality and saved.
In Encore I use Dynamic link to import AE transistions as timelines and imported each PS menu twice, once as "menu" and once as an asset.
When I link the timeline transistions to the menu and preview at the point the menu begins the whole image is squashed. When the next transistion is activated the image returns to its original size.
Thinking it was the use of PS that was causing the menus to distort I used the menu asset directly in the time line. Obviously no menu functionality but also no distortion. The AE transistion flowed straight into the "menu" just as I expected.
In the properties panel the menu Aspect Ratio 16:9
The AE transistions PAR is SD PALwidescreen 1.4587.
I did try the Blu Ray suggestion above but the same distortion was apparent.
Any suggestions short of squashing the video to match the menu would be welcomed.
Thanks

*** (all on one line with the new line in front)
As Value I use:
<%=PayloadFormGenerator.selectNodeValue(payload, "/ns0:task/ns0:payload/ns1:abstract", form.getNamespaceMap(),"string", context.getLocale())%>
and as mentioned: It works fine for <INPUT>.
What do I do wrong? Is this a bug?

Had the same problem, could not get it to be consistent. I would say this is a bug, but decided to edit payloads via the database in the end...

Conditional text showing as white space w/ condition indicators On

We are using condition indicators with both a color
and an overline, underline, strikethrough, etc. When
we have the condition indcators on, and do Show All,
some text shows up as white space until we change
the indicators. Unfortunately, the behavior is not
consistent in that when I change an Overline to As Is
with some colors (like the standard Red or Blue),
the text remains whtte. It's only if I alaso change
the color to one of the custom colors we are using
for headings that we can actually see the text.
A similar disappearance is happening with cross
references that use a charaacter tag Hyperlink
with standard Blue as the color (no underline) in
the cross ref format. The text tagged with Hyperlink
disappears while black text (Default para font) shows
up. If we change the cross Ref format to use a different
character tag, it shows up.
Track changges is Off. It has neer been turned on.
Bug or feature?

Sodal, I tried and I got a "Missing arguments for command '\position'."
I had used a field on bottom of page 1 before but I got a "field not found on subform CONT" error.
Does anything else come to mind. Thanks!!

Strange behavior after using NIK plug-ins

Every once in a while I encounter this strange behavior of Aperture. I first process the NEF's in Aperture (white balance, Exposure, Enhance... and, when needed, Cropping) and then I fine tune the image with the NIK plug-ins; when needed DfIne 2.0, Viveza, Color Efex Pro 3.0 and Sharpener Pro 3.0 Output Sharpener.
If I look at the processed picture then, I get a perfect presentation of the photo;

But when I press Z to zoom into a 100% preview I get this;

When I select the Loup in the normal view mode I get this;
!http://users.skynet.be/fc419085/Aperture-3.jpg!
This doesn't happen with all my pictures, yesterday I processed a series of 8 pictures an 6 of them showed this behavior the other two acted normal and I can't see what I did differently whit these last two.
When I export the strangely behaving photo's to a Tiff or a Jpeg, I get perfectly normal pictures.
The original NEF behaves normal. I have seen this behavior with NEF's from a Nikon D200, D2x and a D300. I have Aperture 2.1.2 running on a 2.33 GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.6
Does anybody know what's happening and if so, how to solve this problem?
Cheers,
Ivan

I did some testing and what I found is too weird to be true.
First this mashed up look doesn't only happen after using NIK plug-ins, it also happens when making a roundtrip to Photoshop, given that certain conditions are met.
Give it a try yourself. Crop an image to an uneven pixelcount dimension, for example 4227 x 2797 and make a roundtrip to Photoshop. Then have a 100% view look at the new image in Aperture. You'll have a mashed up view, at least I do.
Now crop the same original image to an even pixelcount dimension, for example 4228 x 2798 and make an roundtrip to Photoshop once more. When you have a 100% view of the new image now, you'll see a perfectly normal photo.
Do you think Aperture developers are reading this forum?

Strange behavior in updating and standbying

Hi,
In the last 4 weeks I've been facing some strange behavior from my iPhone 4. First, sometimes when I pick it up its screen is already on (dimmed) and showing the lock screen (with some elements missing though). Secondly, and more annoying yet, when I try to update the apps via app store the initial process occurs normally but after loading the first app it begins installing it and keeps in it forever. I have to soft reset the phone. After that, the app (that kept installing) seems ok. So, I repeat the process of update from the beginning (app after app).
I've already tried to hard reset the device without any luck with any of the problems. Any suggestions about what is going on?
Thanks
Adriano

Hi,
I'm not clear on the distinction you're making for type of access.
Well, to be honest, now that I've re-read that this morning I'm not completely sure what I had in mind either. I think I was thinking about using the collection in what I believe the documentation calls "slices". However, given the other information you've posted it doesn't seem like that would be a feasible alternative in any case.
I understand what you mean about varray and nested-table with the upper-bound limit for the varray's... I've not actually compared the two for performance so my idea that there may be a difference could be completely incorrect. Beyond that, creating code that only works in batches (or slices) may be less performant than what you currently have.
I hope I've not detracted from the thread and maybe someone else with more experience will have an "ah ha!" sort of observation.
Regards,
Mark

Strange behavior in Financial Reports (drop down feature)

Hello Gurus,
I have currently performed migration of Financial Reports from 11.1.1.3 environment to 11.1.2.2 environment with the help of a staging environment.
We migrated the reports over to 11.1.2.2 using LCM from the Staging 11.1.2.2 environment.
We are observing some strange behavior with the Financial Reports that have drop down functionality in our new environment.
When we open a report in our current environment (113) and select a particular member (India) from the Page dimension(Page has almost 30 members in it) it returns appropriate data, however when the same report is opened in new environment (122) and when we select the same member(India), it does not return appropriate data(Page has almost 30 members in it).
However if we design a sample report with the same member in the page (Page has only 1 member (India)) and then open the report it shows correct data.
So the issue occurs only when we have more than 1 members in page and it works as expected when we have only 1 member in page.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello Neeraj,
We are trying to understand the potential reason as to why is it causing this. Is there anything similar caught in .303 patch?? I will have a look at the .303 patch readme.
Thanks,

Strange behavior in deleting images - works on second but not first try

In Library mode, Grid view, right after importing, after I select several images with an "x" to be deleted, when I bring up the "Delete Rejected Photos" dialog, I find this strange behavior. I get the message that there are not photos marked for deletion. I then invoke the dialog again, and my photos that were marked show up, with the choices of deleting from disk or removing from the catalog. What am I likely doing wrong? I'm on WinXP Pro with LR 2.2. Thanks!
Dilip

Dilip,
I too have seen this behaviour in all versions of LR. Even when deleting a single image in the develop module. If LR is writting the preview you can't delete the file until the preview is rendered. I think it's more to do with the OS not allowing the deletion of a file being accessed than a LR bug as such.
