Javascript API and server-generated URLs

I'm creating a Shopify site for a client and part of the site is a complex Adobe Edge Animate animation. Shopify uses server-generated paths to files. My animation uses images and audio.
It looks like the animation sets a base path set in the Publish settings then it sets everything itself in the Javascript runtime and associated files. With Shopify, I end up with image URLs that are like this one: "cdn//path//image.gif?234324". I don't have a absolute path with an absolute file name.
Does anyone know of a way I can put these specific unique server-generated paths to the files needed for my animation in the files for my animation? Basically, can I customize and control the entire URL to all the files needed for my animation?
I see how I can put any URL for assets in the edge.js file. My bigger problem, I think, is being able to customize the URLs for the edge.js and edgeActions.js files.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd really, really appreciate it!

I am getting close on this! I'm hoping someone can help me figure out the last step.
I am using an iframe and sandbox method to load the swf video player like this:
<iframe id="playerFrame" src="player.html" sandboxRoot="http://localhost/air/" documentRoot="app:/"></iframe>
So now the JavaScript API for the player actually works in player.html. The BIG problem is that the videos are downloaded to the app-storage directory. Well, based on AIR security, the iframe (non-application sandbox) content cannot access the application storage directory. So now only videos that are in the app:/ location will load. Unfortunately, this application downloads video from a central server and places them in the application storage directory. Security also will not allow me to download to the app directory. So I am in an endless circle!
I can't use the API if I am in the application sandbox because there is no domain (sandboxRoot) available.
The API works in the non-application sandbox, but I can't access the downloadable content.
What am I missing here? Surely, people have needed to interact with a SWF file using JavaScript and load dynamic content at the same time.

Javascript API and Player Control

Spent hours the last few days digging through the forums, documentation, and WIKI to see if I could find some answers. Unofrtunately, thus far, the data is sparse. Can somebody direct me to some documentation on the Javascript API and what events ara available to control the player? For example, how do I send the player an event to "mute" the volume? Or, how do I send the player an event to "seek" to a point in time in the video? Or, how do I "listen" for a point in time in the video and then use javascript to do something else (like play another clip).
I have found some very sparse information on the use of JQuery, but, we do not use that (at least, not yet). Simple javascript through an API is ideal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Local Javascript API and AIR

I'm having a hard time describing this problem, but I'll try...
Is there anything I can do to allow Adobe AIR to load a JavaScript API to interact with JW Player (longtailvideo.com)? The API already exists, and I can port my AIR code over to an HTML page on my server and it works fine.   Longtail support boards say that the API will not load locally (either locally on a folder OR "locally" in an AIR app). They said it is a restriction of Flash. Is this correct? I did put my HTML files on my desktop and the API did NOT load. It only seems to load when I put it on my server and run it on a domain.
I assume this is somehow related to security. JavaScipt cannot interact with Flash unless it is on a domain? Is that correct?
I can get the player to load and play video just fine in AIR. However, the API never loads, so I cannot interact with it.
This is the last piece of a very LONG project I have been working on, so any help would be greatly appreciated!    Is it possible to get AIR to "pretend" it is on a URL? I tried referencing files with app:/, and that had no impact.

Javascript API and Bucket objects

Hello,
In the MapViewer User Guide 10.1.3.1 various types of Buckets are described. In the 10.1.3.1 Javascript API I just see the MVNumericRangedBucket. Because I have non numeric data, I need to create for instance a CollectionBucket. Is that not implemented in Javascript?

How to trigger the automated row fetch process and open modal window by javascript api?

Hi,
I would like to click the one row of column of IR report, to open the modal window of current page. <----------------it is ok. I can use "javascript:openModal('windowID')" to do it.
There is one form in this modal window, Meanwhile, I would like to pass column data to this form.    <--------------------- it is ok also. I can use " $s('P7_ID','column_value');" to do it.
But I don't know how to trigger the "automated row fetch" process of this form to retrieve other field's value in this form.
I tried to use following 2 ways. But failed.
First method:
add one ajax process of "automated row fetch" in "page processing" block, named "get_fetch_data"
when click IR column , call "openModal", and call "apex.server.process ( "get_fetch_data", {}, { success: function( pData ) { } } );" , I tried to call above ajax process to refresh form. It is failed.
Second method:
add one process of "automated row fetch" in "page rendering" block, named "get_fetch_data"
when click IR column, call javascript api "apex.submit" to submit current page , then call "openModal".
such as : javascript:apex.submit({request:'MODIFY',set:{'P7_ID': #ID#}}); openModal('trade');
But it is failed also. the modal page is showed firstly. then page refresh. but modal window will not open again.
I am not sure if my thinking is right. Could you please provide any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
Ping

Hi Ping,
You can try to set the session state of your modal page's primary key before opening the modal page. Use one dynamic action (on click of IR row) with two true actions. First one to set session state of modal page pk, second on to open modal page.
Or you can add the modal page url as link in your report by extending your query:
select ...
,         apex_util.prepare_url( 'f?p='||:APP_ID||':7:'||:APP_SESSION||'::'||:DEBUG||':7:P7_ID'||COLUMN_VALUE ) as link
from ...
This will give you the url of the modal page, with set primary key.

How to open an URL and close the URL window, using adobe javascript

Hi,
Is it possible to open an URL and close the URL back again(without allowing the user to perform any other operation)? I was able to acheive the opening of the URL, using the app.launchURL("address". true); - But here it lauches in new window, and how do i close the window using the javascript. Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi all
In addition to what Bobby W - Adobe TS added, you might find
the following useful as a bypass or workaround to the pesky prompt.
var pw=window.parent;pw.opener=window.self;window.open("
http://www.adobe.com");
pw.close();
I think this will only work for IE browsers. Actually, I
think the whole window.close() only works for IE, but could be
wrong about that.

Generating a PDF file from the date entered on line and serving it to user

All,
I need to create a page where the data will be entered by the user outside the company.
The requirement is to create a pdf file which dynamic images and a bar code and server ir once the user clicks a button.
In short, they do not want the user to go to the report manager or process monitor to see the image.
Any thought on how this can be accomplished ?

Is there a special reason to create PDF file? I have generated dynamic images and HTML content including Barcode based on user data entry on the fly.If you need more information, please contact me at [email protected]

Hi Satosh Sutar,
Based on the description, you got the error message when you update the apps from version 1.0 to 1.1.
From the error message, it seems the menifest include some settings no allowed in the new version. Would you mind sharing more detail about how you update the project?

Pull large amounts of data using odata, client API and so takes a long time in project server 2013

We are trying to pull large amounts of data in project server 2013 using both client API and odata calls, but it seem to take a long time. How is this done
In project server 2010 we did this creating SQL views in both the reporting database and for list creating a view in the content database. Our IT dept is saying we can't do this anymore. How does a view in Project database or content database create issues?
As long as we don't add a field in the table. So how's one to do this with creating a view?

Hello,
If you are using Project Server 2013 on premise I would recommend using T-SQL against the dbo. schema in the Project Web Database for your reports, this will be far quicker that the APIs. You can create custom objects in the dbo. schema, see the link below:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee767687.aspx#pj15_Architecture_DAL
It is not supported to query the SharePoint content database directly with T-SQL or add any custom objects to the content database.

Required Info About End Point URL and WSDL generated in SOA

Hi All
Consider the follow example WSDL
http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/DehydrationDetails/dehydrationstorebpelprocess_client_ep?WSDL
The above is the END POINT URL generated in my SOA.
Can i have a control over it ? I mean whenever i deploy the total url is something like this : http://host:port//soa-infra/services/default/CompositeName/BPELName?WSDL
Can i customize to have it deployed into another location of my SOA and have WSDL URL like this ? : http://host:port//BPELNAme?WSDL

I guess not easily: the part /soa-infra is the URL for the SOA Suite webapplication, / is the URL for FMW Welcome Page Application.
Try to change these around, good luck :-)
You can look this up in your weblogic console application.
Groeten,

Get Javascript values and use them in a servlet?

Hey
I have a HTML which has Javascript scripts which I have to get values from (a array to be exact) and pass them to a servlet so I can process the information in a certain way. I cant seem to find a way to do this properly as the servlet is server side and Javascript is client side. How can I implement this?
Using a quick example example I have
C:/index.html
C:/js/script.js
Index.html contains:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/script.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
a href="javascript:void(0);" id="add"><img src="images/menunew.png" alt="plus" border="0" />
/a>
</body>
</html>
Script.js contains:
var Script = Class.create({
a:4,
b:5,
add: function(){
return (this.a + this.b);
(Ignore syntaxis errors as this is a quick example I wrote up just to see if you can give me a practical example on how to read it.)
How can from a Java servlet access a and b from the script.js file (which contains a class named Script) and also access the function add which returns that value?
Thank you for the help

1: Yes, it seems like the logically answer but Im not too up on AJAX and even less on mixing it up with servlets. Do you mind giving me a simple add (function) sample or something similar?You are looking at it the wrong way. What you actually want to do is to have the browser send a request (which somehow contains that Javascript data) to a URL which causes the servlet to receive the data. There's no "mixing it up" going on there. The client and the server are entirely separate.
And since that request would be an HTTP request, it's just text. There's no concept in HTTP of transmitting objects, whether they be Javascript objects or Java objects. Anything you want to transmit has to be converted into text by the sender and converted back into objects by the receiver.
So there's no such thing as "a simple add function". You're going to have to stop thinking in that way and start thinking of client-server systems in the way they actually are.The thing is I want to start simple to grab a simple concept....

     xmlHttp.open("GET", "index.html", false);
     xmlHttp.send(value1 + value2);
     var result = document.getElementById("res");
     result.innerHTML = xmlHttp.responseText;
This shows 2 comboboxes full of numbers and link saying "Do" which calls the javascript function and adds the two numbers in the comboboxs and shows them on the screen without refreshing the page. This does not work and I would like this to work before I continue onto the bigger picture.
