Is it possible to embed an external control (eg ActiveX) into a Flex app?

I'd like to build an app, and Flex seems to be a good option.
The Flex stuff would be hosted in an application within the Adobe
ActiveX Flash Player. The communication between the hosting
application and the Flex application would be possible via the
ExternalInterface. However, I'd need to embed a special control (in
fact a word processor) in one of the panels of the Flex
application. Is there a way to do it? It could be a browser window
as well.
Thx

I am new to flex myself but as musch as i know and if i have
rightly understood your problem than if the control is compatible
to flex ie: written in action script version supported by the flex
version you are using than you can create a library project and add
the action script code to it. now add the flex library project or
the resulting .SWC file to your original project's library build
path. your new control will apear in the custom controls
list

Is it possible to embed keywords assigned in Lightroom 4 into DNG files?

Keywords I assign to photos in Lightroom do not show up as "tags" when I view the photo's properties in Windows Live Photo Gallery. Is it possible to embed keywords assigned in Lightroom to the properties of the photo file?

Thanks very much for your response. Ctrl-S saved the keywords to the DNG file properties. However, my original question was wrong. I should have asked how to save the keywords assigned in Lightroom to the properties of a TIFF file. Ctrl-S in Lightroom does not seem to embed keywords assigned to a TIFF file. When I check the properties of a TIFF file in Windows Live Photo Gallery after I have assigned keywords in Lightroom, the keywords assigned in Lightroom do not appear as "tags." Do you have any additional suggestions?

Inserting external swf "Widgets" into a Flex app

Hi.
I need to insert several external widgets into my Flex application. For example the Twitter flash widget and flickr slideshows widget.
Those widgets normally give you HTML code to insert in your HTML page, like:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,124,0" width="290" height="350" id="TwitterWidget" align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
    <param name="movie" value="http://static.twitter.com/flash/widgets/profile/TwitterWidget.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
    <param name="FlashVars" value="userID=xxxxxx&styleURL=http://static.twitter.com/flash/widgets/profile/smooth.xml">
    <embed src="http://static.twitter.com/flash/widgets/profile/TwitterWidget.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="290" height="350" name="TwitterWidget" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" FlashVars="userID=xxxxxx&styleURL=http://static.twitter.com/flash/widgets/profile/smooth.xml"/>
</object>
I'm trying to achieve the same goal in my Flex application using the SWFLoader control, but I've got a lot of troubles starting with security issues, and although I just learned to pass the FlashVars values, I don't know how to pass the "<param" values.
public var twitterWidgetSrc:String = "http://static.twitter.com/flash/widgets/profile/TwitterWidget.swf?userID=xxxxxx&styleURL=h ttp://static.twitter.com/flash/widgets/profile/smooth.xml";
            <mx:SWFLoader
                id="twitterWidget"
                source="{twitterWidgetSrc}"
                height="290" width="350"
                init="setSecurity();">
            </mx:SWFLoader>
Is there an easier way to insert these widgets into my Flex application? or how can I complete the SWFLoader to achieve the same results?

I don't mean to disappoint you, but your Idea is impossible due to security violation
if you'll look inside this file http://static.twitter.com/crossdomain.xml
you'll probably find out that your host isn't listed there, so you will be not able to load any twitter stuff
Detailed info you could catch in here:

The only way to get the widget embed and working is through HTML

Loading an external webpage into the Flex app

Is there a way to load an external webpage into a Flex application. I only need to show a portion of the webpage not the entire page. For ex: Take the http://www.cnn.com main page. I only want to show the latest news column containing the bullted list of the news and not the entire page.
Thanks in advance.

You could use Flex I Frame component. Here is the link

Possible to embed video with controls in FM PDF?

I have a very specific end in mind, and I'd like to know from you folks who might have done this before if it's even possible, and if so, the steps to follow to achieve it. Here goes...
I'd like to take an ordinary AVI file, convert it FLV in Media Encoder so it's of a manageable size, bring that into Flash in order to add controls to it (stop, start, pause, etc.), import the SWF file into FrameMaker and export a stand-alone PDF file than includes the video, without needing to reference any external files or servers or anything like that. Just one PDF file that includes the demonstration video and the means to run it.
Right now the show-stopper seems to be it's possible to create a SWF file with controls, OR a SWF file that encorporates an embedded video source, but NOT BOTH at the same time. Anything that enables you to have controls seems to insist on referring to an external file, which I need to avoid.
Then the problem becomes is it even possible to import such a SWF file, with working controls, into FM and thread it through to a PDF file where it will function as such?
Anyone who can point me the way, I'd be much obliged. And thank you.

Thanks, but I've seen that file before. While it's interesting to learn you can create links below a video to do this, the really ironic thing is that the PDF file contains video presentations making use of the controls that I'm looking to include (see graphic). In fact, it was this very document that got me interested in seeing how to do this in the first place. Now, I might be mistaken, but I don't think this is a solution available inside FrameMaker itself and I'm really after a cross-application procedure from someone who's done this in the past. I appreciate the input, though.
From page 25 of the guide:

Is it possible to embed a file that can be opened with another app in IBA?

We're making a music instructional book and would like to "embed" a .tef file that can be opened by the free tefPad reader:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tefpad/id517830471?mt=8
I don't think it is possible, but wanted to see if there is some trick we haven't found.
Thanks much for any insights.

Check the iBooks Author, > Help > Media and Graphics and / or if you an iTunes Connect account, open and > > Deliver your Content on the right of some of the options are links to a number of PDF, Asset Guides, Formatting guides etc,.
iBooks Authur has a few widgets and there are many thrid party widget makers online such as Bookry, who may also be able to create what you want if its technically possible - at a price.

External Control of ABAP stack adapter/channels possible?

Hi Experts,
Can we Control ABAP based adapters/channel also (e.g IDOC communication channel) using the external control with HTTP GET and POST?
AFAIK we can control the J2EE adapter/communication channels by switching the external control on in RWB.
Is there a way to enable external control of IDOC channel ?
Best Regards,
Srinivas

AFAIK you can't externally control the adapters on ABAP stack. Anyone else, any suggestions?

Is it possible to embed some JavaScript code WITHIN a QT movie?

Hi,
This may be a job for QuickTimeKirk, as I've seen (s)he seems quite knowledgeable about QuickTime secrets...
I'm using a blog service which does not allow the calling of external JavaScript files. Furthermore, testing STAMPot from my excellent fellow compatriot *Francis Gorge* (http://www.qtbridge.com/stampot/stampot.html) did not help me enough because the posts on my blog are contained within tables over which I have little control. In particular, I cannot write a full HTML page description with the <head> and <body> tags, and all the references needed to link to the .js file (and others) created by STAMPot.
So, I'm wondering if it is possible to embed the appropriate code directly within a QuickTime movie, e.g. under the form of a additional HREF track.
What I'm trying to achieve, in the end, is to have a poster frame for my movie, and have the movie play within that same poster frame space, but WITHOUT the movie controller +(not the poster frame controller, which I know how to hide)+, and then the movie looping back to the poster frame.
Maybe I missed something, but in the case I understood correctly what I read on the QT Dev web site, when one passes the controller="false" parameter to the +<embed src="<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://...>">http://...> tag, the parameter only applies to the FIRST movie, which is, in fact, the poster frame. Even if the target movie was saved with the controller disabled, this is only acknowledged by QuickTime Player, NOT by the QuickTime plugin.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
batspray

1- You can add a frame to the end of the movie, make it an href track that points back to the poster movie. Yes. Illustrated details, here: [http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/QT4WebPage/samplechap/speci al-24.html]
2.- As to the larger question of JavaScript within the QT movie, No. "Starting with QuickTime 7.1.5, you can no longer issue javascript: URLs or call JavaScript functions from within a QuickTime movie. This feature was removed from QuickTime for security reasons." See this official notice: [http://developer.apple.com/documentation/quicktime/Conceptual/QTScriptingJavaScript/bQTScripting_JavaScri_Document/chapter_1000_section1.html].

Embed an external PDF file into the XML

Dear All,
We have a program which creates the XML file on the Application server when we execute it.
My requirement is to Embed an external PDF file into the XML file while generating it through
program from SAP.
Please let me know how this is possible.
Thanks & Regards,

Yes, you can do it. You have to use an absolute path and add it not only to the folder but to the .manifest
I wrote a blog post explaining how to do it:

External control over vst's; or some kind of midi learn

I'm moving this post from Audition Feature Requests to here, 'couse nobody ansewer anything..
External control over vst's; a midi learn-like
I'm not really shure if AA3 have it or not, but I can't find the way to get control of parameters on third part plugins with my BCR2000.. (rotary control)
I can use my midi keyboard to play Vsti
I can use my Mackie for the main mixer...
But what about the capability of automatise, for example.. a feedback level's delay whit some rotary external midi hardware?
Maybe it is possible and I don't know, but I can't find the way to do it searching in AA3... I neither can't find info on internet forums..
I'll be very grateful if anyone say something about it
Thanks!!
Nico

Hi Nico,
Currently, Audition offers no direct support for controlling VST parameters via MIDI, although there are VST effects that handle MIDI control themselves. It is a feature I'd like to see, and it is currently in our feature database in consideration for the next release of Audition.

Externally Control Count Direction with 6501

I have a USB-6501 Digital I/O & Counter card. I have an encoder that outputs a 50% duty cycle digital squarewave for a count, aswell as a digital high, low to indecate the count direction. Under the DAQmx configureation panel there is an option to have a externally controlled count direction. When selected I get an error saying:
Error - 2000777 occurred at DAQ Assistant
Possible Reason(s):
Measurements: Requested value is not a
supported value for this property.
Property: CI.CountEdges.Dir
You Have Requested: Externally Controlled
You Can Select: Count Up
Channel Name: CountEdges
To me this sounds like my USB-6501 does not support this function. If this is ture is there a way I could perform the same task in code? If not what hardware could perform this?
Thanks,
Randon Rose

Hello,
You are correct that your device does not support that functionality. The USB-6501 counter is only usable as an event counter, which means it can only count falling edges of an incoming signal. This counter is usable on only one external terminal, also port 2 line 7.
If you would like to know what you can do with this device check out this link, which is the manual.

Is it possible to connect an external USB 2.0 hard drive to a Thunderbolt Display?

Hello,
Is it possible to connect an external USB 2.0 hard drive to a Thunderbolt Display and back up a MacBook Air to the external hard drive using Time Machine?
I intend to connect my MacBook Air to the Thunderbolt Display using a Thunderbolt cable.
I would also like to connect my printer via USB 2.0 to the Thunderbolt Display. Will this also work?
Effectively using the Thunderbolt Display as a USB hub or docking station.
Regards,
Ben

Ok, thanks.
My 1 cable to ThunderBolt Display objective
MacBook Air -> (via 1 x Thunderbolt cable) -> Thunderbolt Display -> (via 1 x USB cable) -> USB 2.0 external hard drive
I would like to know if this configuration is possible and Time Machine will run correctly.
Your 2 cable suggestion (I think)
MacBook Air -> (via 1 x Thunderbolt cable + 1 x USB cable) -> Thunderbolt Display + USB 2.0 external hard drive
This configuration requires 2 cables to disconnect/reconnect from my MacBook Air.

HT5361 Is it possible to embed raw latex into a mail message to display an equation?

Hi,
Is it possible to embed raw latex (or any other meta data format like HTML) into a mail message? I would really like to be able to send equations directly without converting them to PDF or GIF first.
Thanks,
Joe

I just borrowed a quadratic equation from the MathML Wikipedia site and grafted it into an HTML document. It imaged fine in Safari 7. It should be noted that neither the latest Google Chrome or FIrefox rendered the same content accurately.
Laying out your entire email message (including MathML) in HTML can be tedious. Once it is displayed in the browser, each use of the command+I will put the browser content in a new Mail compose window. So, you cannot add an equation to existing Mail composition. Select, copy and paste (or paste and match style) will not work either.
Depending on the importance you place on email equations, at one time, Design Science (MathType) claimed compatibility with Apple Mail (4.5) where you could input your equation in MathType and it could then be placed within the email. The mail recipient would not need a copy of MathType installed for this to work. MathType even allows you to key your equation in with LaTeX syntax to generate the equation.
You could check with them about functionality (or restrictions) with Mail 6 and 7 on OS X, as it might provide a more productive way to achieve your goals.

Is it possible to buy an external casing into which a backplane ready hard

Is it possible to buy an external casing into which a backplane ready hard drive will slot?
After I set up a RAID 0 array, I will have a spare 640GB hard drive ( the original Apple one), and I was wondering whether it is possible to purchase an empty external casing which would house it.
Just a thought!
Or am I living in dreamland?

Many thanks for the advice.
Unfortunately, the range of ancillary products available to Mac users in the UK is very limited compared to the States.
I was unable to track down any UK resellers of FirmTek enclosures, and I am reluctant to import from abroad, because it would be too much hassle to return products in the event of a fault.
After a lot of googling I thought I had found the ideal solution when I came across a Macally Voyager Q Dock review in a back issue of MacWorld UK. However, although some Macally products are sold by UK resellers, I could only find the Voyager Q available from OWC.
I came across lots of external hard drive cases, enclosures and docks, but invariably they were USB2.0 and/or eSATA, with a few also having FW400 ports.
Eventually I tracked down one case and one dock, stocked by Storage Depot Co. UK, which had FW400, FW800, eSATA, and USB2.0 connectivity. I decided that the single bay case was the best option for me, and I have placed an order for one.
If any UK Mac users are looking for either a single bay case, or dock, for SATA drives, with FW800 connectivity, these are the respective links for the case and the dock:

Is it possible to format an external hard drive on my mac?

I purchased a portable external hard drive to back up my former pc in the hopes of using it on my mac. Obviously, I did not research this seeing now that I can integrate my files and photos from my pc to my mac. It appears possible to format the external hard drive to my mac os, which should be done prior to downloading files from my pc to the hard drive. Has anyone dealt with this or am I the only idiot that purchased the external hard drive thinking that was the thing to do before my pc dies completely?

A HD formatted in EXFAT will transfer data between both PC and Mac.
However dont make the titanic error most do in having merely a single external HD backup of your data, thats a tragedy waiting to happen.
HD are cheap as dirt.
Ideal situation is 3 HD , 1 for Mac backups, 1 for data archives stored away safely and updated as needed / often.
and a 3rd HD in Exfat for data transfers (or a thumb drive for the same thing to save $$)

Is it possible to embed an external control (eg ActiveX) into a Flex app?
