[JS CS3] Modify geometricBounds of Inline Frames in Overset Text

Hello,
I have the following setting:
I recieve a XML file , which contains <image href="..."> tags. InDesign automatically inserts the correct images as an inline frame.
The layout column are too small for the large images, so when placing the XML into the layout, the whole content is in the overset.
Inline frames in the overset do not have any geometricBounds. Can I modify width & height of frames in overset text? And how do I do that?
Thanks
Tobias

Thanks Robin!
I helped myself with the following:
with(myElement){
     // get img objects
     var theImage = myElement.xmlContent;
     var theImageFrame = theImage.parent;
     theImageFrame.appliedObjectStyle = myDocument.objectStyles.item("Img_free");
The objectStyle "Img_free" sets the image frame from "inline" to "anchored frame". So the size of the image doesn't matter any more because its outside ("free") of the text. So everything flows into visibility and I can change whatever I want. (Yes, I must not do this with a object style, but it felt right to do so.)
It's basically a similar way to your description. But I had hoped that there would be a somewhat "cleaner" way to do that. In my eyes it is more a workaround ...
Any further suggestions?
(How do people scripting InDesign Server do such things?)
Thanks
Tobias

InDesign CS3 Scripting XML Import Multiple Images into same Text Frame

I am having trouble importing multiple images into the same Text Frame using XML import. I imported 5 images into the text frame. However, all 5 images are laying on top of one another. Does anyone know if there is a way to have all images laying out like how Microsoft Word handles inline images, i.e., laying out next image to the right of previsous image in the same line and if there is not enough space left in the line, then wrap to next line. Thanks in advance. I understand I could use JavaScript to do post import processing, e.g, calculate the image size and place each images accordingly. But I am trying to see whether there is a way to do this without scripts.

You can apply an object style to all anchored images by script. A text frame containing main flow should be selected.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = app.selection[0];
var rectangles = textFrame.texts[0].rectangles;
if (rectangles.length > 0) {
for (var i=0; i < rectangles.length; i++) {
rectangles[i].appliedObjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.item("Cover");
However, there is a better approach:
Step 1
Create place holders for a single "Book" element and format it as needed -- apply an object style to the cover.
Step 2
Import the xml file -- the placeholders are replaced with data from the 1st xml element
Step 3
Drag & drop the element containing all "Books" elements into the main flow -- all elements are placed and formatted the same way as in step 1.
Finally, add a new page, click the overset text icon and autoflow text to add pages so that to fit all the text.
Hope this helps.

Page will not display properly with inline Frames

I have a html page that will not display properly in Dreamweaver. I have a basic understanding of html and want to be able to edit a website in Dreamweaver that was given to me. It looks fine in a browser, but in Dreamweaver some of the content is missing and displays the following message, "Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline Frames". I was able to open it without any problems using Microsoft Front Page, so is it possible to view and edit it in Dreamweaver?

Without seeing your page, I'm guessing that your page contains server-side includes, iframes and scripts to other files on the server that populate page with content on the server's end. You can't see it in DW because you don't have all the files in your DW local site folder. You said this views fine in FP. Was your page created in FP with FP proprietary tools?

Navigating inline frames from flash

Hi,
I have a navigation block set up in flash. Can someone please tell what the geturl script is to control external html pages loading into an inline frame?
Thanks.

o.k kglad, something odd is going on.
in my html code, I'm designating a particular file to initially load in my iframe
<iframe name="leftframe" src="swfs/portfolio/frames/logos/logointro.html" width="431" height="506" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" border="0" frameborder="0">
I'm testing two buttons to make sure they are working, but each time I click them, the logointro.html file reloads instead.
sample1btn.onRelease = function():Void {
getURL("swfs/portfolio/frames/logos/logo1.html", "leftframe");
gotoAndPlay("sample1");
sample2btn.onRelease = function():Void {
getURL("swfs/portfolio/frames/logos/logo2.html", "leftframe");
gotoAndPlay("sample2");
Any idea why logo1.html and logo2.html won't load?

Close ADF Popup Dialog with html button in Inline Frame

hi,
I'm using jdev 11.1.1.2,
I have a adf popup dialog which contains an Inline Frame(source is a jsp file).I want to close the dialog with a html submit button in the frame page. when the submit button is clicked, auto close the dialog.
can anyone help in this.
Thanks

Try to close the popup from Javascript using a sciptlet similar to the following one:
var popup = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent('<yourPopupClientId>');
if (popup.isPopupVisible()) {
popup.hide();
}where <tt><yourPopupClientId></tt> should be replaced with the popup's client ID. The client ID is composed of the popup's ID from the <af:popup> tag preceded with IDs of the eventual parent naming containers where the popup has been declared.
For example, if the tag is <tt><af:popup id="myPopup"></tt>, then the clientId might be:
<tt>  myPopup
  container1:myPopup
  container1:container2:myPopup</tt>
... and so on, depending on where you have defined the popup in your JSF page (i.e. within which naming containers), you should determine it first.

[JS CS5] Accessing an inline frame from an insertion point

Given an insertion point, how can I determine if it contains an inline/anchored frame? And if so, how do I reference the inline/anchored frame?
I know how to reference the surrounding paragraph, characters, etc., but can't figure out how to get to the inline/anchored graphic.
I normally would just loop through all the inline graphics in the document, but it this case I need to access the inlines via their insertion points.

As far as I know, Insertion point can't hold inline/anchored object, but character does.
If you select text and run this line
alert(app.selection[0].pageItems.length);
it will return number of anchor/inline objects inside selected text.
Another way is to check parent of object. Parent of anchor/inline object is always character.
Example script that copies all anchor/inline objects to new layer: http://bit.ly/aV9WMF
Hope that helps.

Inline frame problem

Hello,
I have a page at www.gwebiogas.co.uk/sitepics which contains two inline frames. The first contains thumbnails and the second displays the large version of the thumbnail when clicked.
I have two problems:
1) Internet Explorer adds a white background to the iframe, which I do not want.
2) Both IE and Firefox position the picture with a margin/border to the top and left. It's not really noticeable in Firefox but in IE the above-mentioned white background gives it away. I have set the margin to 0 in the Page Properties of the page which loads into the frame but it makes no difference.
Any thoughts please? I've tried various margin, border and padding settings but have run out of ideas.
Thanks
Stephen

Thanks for taking a look at it.
It's the frame below the thumbnails one that is my main problem ie the one that loads 'site_pic.html' and displays the large picture.
I have set every value for border, margin etc to 0, and have set background background colour to transparent in the css settings both for the iframe and site_pic.html and have also added [allowtransparency="true"] to the code for the iframe so it looks like this:
<iframe id="pic_frame" name="pic_frame" src="site_pic.html" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
- all to no avail!

For a wesite I get this error in firefox, "Sorry, Netscape 4 cannot show inline frames", other browsers are able to open it.

For a wesite I get this error in firefox, "Sorry, Netscape 4 cannot show inline frames", other browsers are able to open it.

I uninstalled all the old flash players and installed the flash player v16.0.0.235 from the Adobe website posted.
And Firefox is still the same. It takes forever to web search, It takes a long time to get on Youtube, and a longer time now to open a video..
It's actual worse since I upgraded to the newer flash player.
I'll do one more fifefox reset (this is the 8th one in a week)
and it works for a few hrs, and goes back to the slowww way of working...
Many of my friends I talked to about this, told me to switch over to Chrome like they had to do..
I guess that's the only alternative now..
Thankyou all for your help and suggestions anyway.. :)

Inline frames

i recently completed this site:
http://www.colliervillehistoricsquare.com/history
and, if you notice upon clicking on of the thumbnail images, you
have to scroll back down to see the new image. Should I have used
an inline frame for this? If so, how do I accomplish that?
Thanks in advance,
Brad

Set it to use a size relative to the parent block element. You can use percents for that.

GeoMap click event refresh inline frame

I am listening to the MapPointTheme click event. When this is fired, I set the source of my second Inline frame to another page (the main page has 2 inline frames, 1 displaying the map, and my second one displaying something else) via a backing bean. The problem is that, the GeoMap component refreshes, and not the second inline frame.
    public void mapClicked(MapClickActionEvent mapClickActionEvent) {
        // Add event code here...
        serviceName = mapClickActionEvent.getDataContent().getLocationName();
        System.out.println("Map clicked service: " + serviceName);
        hostFrameSource = "testPage.jsp?service=" + serviceName;
        System.out.println("Host frame source: " + hostFrameSource);
        hostFrame.setSource(hostFrameSource);
        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(hostFrame);
    }I am stuck as I am unsure what I am doing incorrectly.
Regards,
Gareth.

Gareth,
I don't have a sample for this but what if you surround the inlineFrame in say an af:panelGroup and ppr this group?

Prevent inline Frame URL being encoded

Hi All,
I am using jdeveloper version 11.1.1.6.0.
My use case is i want to generate url on jspx page itself like http://localhost:7101/contextPath/
My Inline Frame is as follows:
                      <c:set var="currentUrlContext"
                        value="#{facesContext.externalContext.request.scheme}://#{facesContext.externalContext.request.serverName}:# {facesContext.externalContext.request.serverPort}#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}"/>
                       <af:inlineFrame id="if_stSearch"
                                      source="http:/thirdpartyurl/index.shtml?returnTo=#{currentUrlContext}/myServlet"
                                      shortDesc="Structure Search"
                                      inlineStyle="height:900px; width:880px; border-width:0px;z-index: 0;">
                      </af:inlineFrame>It generates url in the browser (checked on firefox) is
http:/thirdpartyurl/index.shtml?returnTo=http%3A//localhost%3A7101/contextName/myServlet
Why it replaces colon with %3A after returnTo word .
and what is solution for this to build url with colon
Edited by: 925410 on Oct 15, 2012 2:44 PM
Updated
when I give url in source attribute of inline frame .It automatically encodes url .Is there any property of inlineFrame which gives me chance to avoid inline Frame url encoding
If I just put the source attribute of the inlineFrame as
http:/thirdpartyurl/index.shtml?returnTo=http://localhost:7101/contextName/myServlet
run the page and chek inline frame source in FireBug
It displays as a
http:/thirdpartyurl/index.shtml?returnTo=http%3A//localhost%3A7101/contextName/myServlet

Modify default composition start frame?

Is it possible to modify the default start frame number of 0 that is used
when dropping a footage item on the "Create Composition" icon?
I know I can create a new composition instead of dragging to the icon,
and the Composition Settings menu does remember the last start frame
number I entered, and I know that once a default sequence is created I
can use the Composition Settings menu to set the start frame, but I would
like to be able to set the default start frame number to 1 instead of 0.

> I'm not finding that to be the case with any flavor of source footage.
Right, sorry. You won't unless you have After Effects CS5.5. I didn't explain that, and my brain has been working with CS5.5 for so long now that it didn't occur to me that you weren't. Source timecode support is a new feature in CS5.5.
> It's probably not worth a feature request.
I disagree. Totally worth a feature request. That's not to say it will happen, but that we always want your feedback no matter how small the request. I can assure you that every submission is read and considered.
