Is Dynamic Loading of Text from an external file possible in Captivate?

Hello all,
I am wondering if Dynamic loading of text is possible in captivate or not.
As we can load an external file in flash.
& which is the universal font to be used for the text entry box which will visible on any media?
Thanks & Regards,

How can I place text from an external file as an updatable link?

Currently we create presentation documents InDesign. Each presentation page is a linked Illustrator file (the file contains drawings and description texts). We write the text in Illustrator instead of over it in InDesign because multiple designers/writers will work on each page. We have text that sometimes appear on multiple pages, this text has previously been copied and pasted into each Illustrator file that it needs to appear in, this is inefficient and prone to error.
Is there a way to link to a text file in Illustrator that remains updatable? I poked around here and found information relating to Variable Data – things similar to Data Merge in InDesign. This isn't the solution I'm looking for however. It seems like a plugin or script is the solution.
much appreciated

I have to imagine that you have good reasons for structuring the workflow as you describe. However, this:
We write the text in Illustrator instead of over it in InDesign because multiple designers/writers will work on each page.
doesn't make sense to me. Between the two, InDesign, (particularly CS6), is far more capable of efficiently supporting a linked-single-source-of-text workflow than Illustrator...without any additional plugins or scripts.

Help with delivering dynamic text through an external file, through XML?

I'm struggling to find the best way to deliver dynamic text
from an external file, through XML, to a Flash file.
I use small Flash pieces to deliver multiple sets of content
through a single .swf file. An example is here:
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/government/federal.asp
In the .swf file at the bottom, I'm using a three-scene .fla
file. I'm putting the actionScript in the Actions layer atop each
frame. Example:
stop ();
loadVarsText = new LoadVars();
loadVarsText.load("fedNews.txt");
//assign a function which fires when the data is loaded:
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("done loading");
//Now that we know the data is loaded,
//set the text content of the Text Field
//with the instance name "scroller" equal to the
//contents of the variable
scroller.html=true;
scroller.htmlText = this.var1;
} else {
trace("not loaded");
In that .txt file, I'm putting the information like this:
var1=<a href='
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/classroomtraining/dau.asp'>DAU
Grants ESI Course CON353
Equivalency</a> Advanced Business Solution
in Contracting (CON 353) is an equivalency for DAU's CON 3535
course, Advanced Business Solutions for Mission Support. <a
href='
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/classroomtraining/dau.asp'>Continue</a>
So much of this is pick-ups from what I've researched in
Google. I'm looking for a way I can feel more confident in my code,
and also have that code follow CSS.
Lastly, I recognize the problems in XML with using single
quotes / double quotes, and the & symbol. This is one of my
largest time sucks, and I'd like to find a better way to do this.
Thank you

Hi,
Did you ever find a resolution to this? I'm having a similar
issue that I can't seem to get multiline dynamic text working in
CS3.
The font is embedded but it just displays the first line, and
then a blank. I'm sure this worked fine in Flash MX.

Loading text from a .txt file

I want to do something that should be VERY simple, but due to
Adobe's insistence on using #$%^ing tutorials instead of just
providing step by step instructions, it's very frustrating to
figure out how to do it.
All I want to do is load the contents of a text file into a
dynamic text field, but I can't figure out how to do it (I'm not
all that familiar with AS). I'm working with Flash 8. Please help.
Thanks.

Create the dynamic text box, and name it schedule.
Then, in the frame on the timeline that the text box resides
in, the corresponding actionscript would be used to create a text
variable and assign the text from a txt file to it:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("externalfile.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
schedule.text = this.textbody;
Where does the "textbody" variable come from? In the external
text file (externalfile.txt in this example), you have a variable
called textbody, and the externalfile.txt should read along the
lines of:
textbody = "I'm the external text that needs to be read
in"

Syntax error while loading hierarchy from an external file

Dear Expert:
I am new to BW and I met a problem today while loading hierarchy from an external file. Actually I am following below article to load the hierarchy:
/people/prakash.bagali/blog/2006/02/07/hierarchy-upload-from-flat-files
When I schedule the infopackage, the error message says: "Syntax error in template RSTMPL9C, ROW 76". Actually there is only around 20 lines of records.
Since I am not familiar with hierarchy load, so:
1. while loading from external file, do I need to create one hierarchy in advance through "Maintain Hierarchies" in the infoobject? My understanding is since I can load that hierarchy from file, so I do not need to create one in advance, once the load completed, the hierarchy should automatically generated there. Is my understanding correct?
2. Before loading the hierarchy, do I need to load the master data of external characteristics in the hierarchy first? Here in my example, the sales hierarchy has 2 external characteritics (Country and region) in the hierarchy. Do I need to load some data first?
3. My 'Preview' function in the infopackage is gray so that I can not test the data loading. Why is it gray?
Information like file name, file dir, file type(csv), seperator should be correct there.
Can anybody help me take a look into that? Many thanks for your time in advance!
Tim

Hi ctsiszidane:
There are some other SAP Notes that can help you solve the problem. Depending on your Support Package level check which of them is applicable.
Note 659461 - RSAR 682: Syntax error in template RSTMPL9A, row 246
Note 605690 - Escape characters are not processed correctly
Note 620152 - Syntax error in RSTMPL9A during data loading from a file

How to load some text from properties file ?

Hi again,
problem is i dont know how can i load a text from properties file like #{xxx['key']} in managed bean, i tried to find some solution but havent seen this kind of use this file in java code. Is it supposed to work only for labels in jspx pages ?
thanks for help ...

Hi,
a managed bean is nothing special from any other Java file. However, if you look at SRDemo, you find a nice way of using the same message bundle that you use on the page
See the messageFromBundle() method in the JSFUtils class of the UserInterface project

P.s. You can download and setup SRDemo from JDeveloper help--> check for updates

How to extract text from a PDF file?

Hello Suners,
i need to know how to extract text from a pdf file?
does anyone know what is the character encoding in pdf file, when i use an input stream to read the file it gives encrypted characters not the original text in the file.
is there any procedures i should do while reading a pdf file,
File f=new File("D:/File.pdf");
               FileReader fr=new FileReader(f);
               BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(fr);
               String s=br.readLine();any help will be deeply appreciated.

jverd wrote:
First, you set i once, and then loop without ever changing it. So your loop body will execute either 0 times or infinitely many times, writing the same byte every time. Actually, maybe it'll execute once and then throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. That's basic java looping, and you're going to need a firm grip on that before you try to do anything as advanced as PDF reading. the case.oops you are absolutely right that was a silly mistake to forget that,
Second, what do the docs for getPageContent say? Do they say that it simply gives you the text on the page as if the thing were a simple text doc? I'd be surprised if that's the case.getPageContent return array of bytes so the question will be:
how to get text from this array? i was thinking of :
    private void jButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        PdfReader read;
        StringBuffer buff=new StringBuffer();
        try {
            read = new PdfReader("d:/getjobid2727.pdf");
            read.getMetaData();
            byte[] data=read.getPageContent(1);
            int i=0;
            while(i>-1){
                buff.append(data);
i++;
String str=buff.toString();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("D:/test.txt");
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "UTF8");
out.write(str);
out.close();
read.close();
} catch (Exception f) {
f.printStackTrace();
"D:/test.txt" hasn't been created!! when i ran the program,
is my steps right?

Importing Arabic text from an XML file

Importing text from an XML file to appear as text in Flash
works in English, however if the text I want to import is in
Arabic, when I test the movie there is no text at all.
Is there some particular syntax to preface the Arabic text?
I'll want to import text from XML in other languages too.
(French)
I'd cut and pasted some Arabic text into the XML file that
displays pictures and text in the "slideshow.fla" (
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/applications/jpeg_slideshow_xml/jpeg_slideshow_xml03.ht ml)
Substituting Arabic text for English text, editing the XML
file with Dreamweaver.
Any ideas as to how I might achieve my objective of importing
Arabic text into Fash?
I'd started developing my prototpe in Macromedia Director 7,
and then Director MX, but I have not found a suitable Arabic font
that I can embed that will allow me to display Arabic fonts in
Adobe Director. I have the Arabic text in a Word document.
I've dicovered that my Flash MX Pro and Dreamweaver both
support Arabic fonts, but I want to import text from an XML file.
I'd prefer using cast libraries and cast members, but I don't
know of an equivalent in Flash to what I'm comfortable with in
Director.

Oh so many questions. You probably aren't going to like the
answers. I have Flash MX04 pro (aka Flash 7) and things made a big
jump between MX (aka 6) and MX04. If you only have MX, there might
not be a way to do this. All my advice is based upon MX04 or
higher.
It is possible to do complex languages in Flash. My
experience is with Hindi and I've helped a few folks here with
Arabic.
You won't be able to use text from Microsoft Word – at
least I don't think so. The XML file will need to be saved in the
UTF-8 format. I think Word uses its own scheme and won't work. But
I'm not a Word expert. Something like Text Edit (Mac) or WordPad
(PC) should be able to save a UTF-8 file.
The next problem is you mention "suitable Arabic font that I
can embed." AFAIK, you can't embed any of the complex scripts in
Flash. You just have to rely on the end user having appropriate
fonts installed and enabled. Most operating systems from 2000 on do
have this – although some folks like to remove them to save
space.
Next issue will be line composing. I've found that when using
anything above the normal Latin range that Flash suddenly forgets
how to make a line fit into a text area. It will just break things
in the middle of words and not even notice the spaces between
words. I've written a little snippet of code that "composes" the
lines. It works well with Hindi and folks here have used it with
Arabic and not come back saying that it doesn't work. Search the
forums (both the Flash and Actionscript) if you can't find it I'll
dig it out when I get home.
So here is the checklist:
Make sure the XML is saved in UTF-8
Import the XML file
In Testing environment go Debug–>List variables.
Does it show up correctly there?
Does it show at all in a text field?
Use the "composer" to make the lines break.

Photoshop touch can I edit the text from a psd file with that app ....

Can photoshop touch edit the text from a psd file from my iMac on my ipad with that app ....

I don't think you can because a Photoshop file (PSD) with layers will be flattened when you open up in Photoshop Touch.
I prepared a Photoshop file with one layer of image, one layer of text over a background using Photoshop CS6 on my Mac Pro and upload the PSD file onto Creative Cloud. I then open this file in Photoshop Touch (on iPad) but it comes out as a single flat layer merging all three layers. Hope this helps.
Below: 3 layers in Photoshop CS6 (with one layer of text)

Problems deleting a string from an external file.

hi!
I am working on a program but am having problems deleting a string of information from an external file. The code I have managed to do only seems to be deleting the surname. The rest of the string remains and the Surname from the string bellow the one that should have been deleted moves to where the surname that was just deleated was.
this is the code snippet that should be deleting the string:
 System.out.print("Please enter the last name of the contact: ");
 last_name = dataInput.next();
 int z = 0;
 for (int i=0; i < number_of_records; i++)
 if ((last_name.compareTo(lastName)) i))
 z = i;
 for (int i = z; i < number_of_records; i++)
 lastName[i] = lastName[i+1];
Anyone got any ideas why its not deleting the whole string?
the extrenal file is set out like:
surname,,first name,,phone number

I don't think you have given enough information to answer this question completely; however, here is my guess:
The code that appears to be doing the "deleting"
for (int i = z; i < number_of_records; i++)
 lastName[i] = lastName[i+1];
}is only acting upon the lastName array.
