Hope someone can help me out.

Actually, you CAN'T with iDVD. You CAN put a variety of content into the DVD-ROM area, but that isn't accessable from any menu in an iDVD created DVD.
If you use DVD Studio Pro, you have some ability to add the kind of links you ask about.

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Creating a link to text file in a tomcat server not working in JSP webapp

I am using netbeans to create an web application within my desktop, and then I load the build/web folder to a tomcat server to test the application. Everything works fine. However, when I try to link up my JSP pages to text files (.txt) create by the application on the server, I seem to be getting files that might be kept in a terminal.
When I get the Real path of the servlet context, I find that it is to a C:\ type file rather than a //hostname type of directory. So obviously those files are not being reached.
Does anybody know how to deal this problem?

There are a number of ways to get to the Flash Global Security settings dialog.
My favourite way is just to double click on a Captivate SWF (not the HTM file) to open it in a web browser, then right click on the playing screen to get the Flash context menu. On the context menu, click the Global Settings option.
In the web page that opens, click the link on the left to Global Security Settings.
Add the folder or drive location of your published Captivate content to the Trusted Locations.

Trying to load a javascript link from text file into a dynamic textfile

Can anyone help me with this problem? Im trying to load in a
newsfeed from freshcontent.net into my text field. If i put this
javascript link on an html page, the page shows correctly, which is
im supposed to get 3 dynamic links with news content headlines.
Please view the link to see what i mean:
http://www.freshcontent.net/directory/real-estate/real_estate.html
Now, i cannot get this same type of display behavior in my
text field if i just paste into my text file the javascript link
thats supposed to bring up the 3 headlines. It is my understanding,
that flash cannot do this without some sort of specific
actionscripting, that involves asfusion, and/or externalInterface.
Im not sure exactly how to go about setting this up to make this
work. My current code looks like this:
If anybody could tell me where im going wrong and what i
should change in order to get the desired result im going for, Id
very much appreciate it. Thanks

well sorry there fanmap - but I don't think you're going to
be able to get this to work. here's why: the link points to a php
file - which gathers dynamic info from a DB - the return from the
php is generating a string that is based on the DOM and
'constructs' a javascript method that in turn writes to the html
document. although we can embed html into a textField in Flash
there are a limited number of supported html tags - and JS methods
will not operate internally. in addition, (i'm not certain someone
correct this if i'm off) there's no way to 'change' the output of
the php call, therefore you will not be able to read the return
because it is designed to use the DOM and write solely to the
current document. Even if you were to access the JS method from the
swf file (which one can) it will still only write the content of
the php return to the html document - and the output is not
compatible with the textField class.

Having active file links to text files in pdf

Hi,
I have a Word doc that has a number of embedded text files that are accessible by double-clicking the text icon. When I convert the Word doc to pdf these will not launch Notepad with the actual text file that is needed. Any suggestions on how to embed the text file so that it is launchable from the pdf? I originally just copied and pasted the icons from the email as they were sent to me. They launch from Word with no issues but will not when converted to pdf. Thank you.

I have tried to embed the mp3 and mp4 files, but the place command will not recognise them (they are always greyed). The only way I have been able to make the sound files play is by linking to the files using a button, but the 'embed all' command on making a pdf doesn't seem to work with this.

Dynamic table linking to text file

Access 2013.accdb
A large quantity of text files will be arriving to the user. They will all have the same fixed width format, but their file names will vary, and their stored location.
The data needs to be appended into Table1
I am thinking this approach: Link to a model text file Model.txt, and as part of that normal table linking I can set up the fixed width definitions for the fields. I have already done this ok. So I have this linked table 'Model1' in the navigation
pane
When a new text file comes the user will archive it in a folder: New1.txt
I can then get the path as a string: "C:blah blah \New1.txt" lets call this NewString
So what I am thinking is in order to Append in the new data; to first dynamically change the link table path to Model1 into the NewString and refresh the connect.
The AppendQuery is looking for Model1 so that table name must not change, and the fixed widths that were part of the Model1 initial linking must not change.
Does this sound viable - and what is the code for Model1 table relinking? Table Def connect properties is not something I've delved into and much of the research I've found is seriously old mdb vintage
I do not think the import spec feature of 2013 allows a dynamic change in file location / name - though if I am wrong on this point please let me know. And I think in terms of a TransferText import I would lose the fixed widths definition and
it would come in only as a single field file. So these are the reasons I am thinking of manipulating the table path connection.
Definitely would welcome advice on this one. TIA

getting a path to a file is pretty straight forward code out there for Windows Explorer file selection:
'file select
Dim strFile As String
      With Application.FileDialog(1)
           If .Show Then
               strFile = .SelectedItems(1)
           Else
               MsgBox "No file selected", vbInformation
               Exit Sub
           End If
       End With
'end file select
so strFile would be what I termed NewString in my original post; I have found code to change links to Access tables and even excel files - but haven't found what works to a text file....the code that I've experimented with does not like the .connect
refresh......

Creating links to text files with Tomcat and JSP

I am trying to create links in a JSP page that bring up text files. Currently, the links point to a file format. When the links are clicked, however, the text files are not displayed in the web browser. When an "http:" format is used, the links point to terminal files that are not being written dynamically (and therefore are useless to me). So in short, I'm looking for a way to get these links to (1) point to text files on the network, and (2) get them to display in a new browser window. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You cannot expect Tomcat or any J2EE Server to give access to the Network files.
You need to design a different way to give access to the Users.
What you can do is write a proxy (HttpServlet) which can pass a request parameter as the file name. The Servlet can read the file and then paint it in the Client Browser Window.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and regards,

Self links from text file

hi,
am using dreamweaver cs5.5 ... i have stored lotta hyperlinks in a txt file (more than 50) ... want to add them to my site ... so can i make all those 50 links active or working in an html page automatically ???
thanx

Hey Blue -
Not sure what you mean by "automatically" or "selflinks", but outside of DW you can prepend any missing parts of the HTML link code (like) <a href=" and append the "</a> using find & replace.
When you are happy with the modified text file, you can then open DW, and copy & paste it into code view of your HTML page

HOW TO: BASIC DVD MENU BLACK BKGD SOME TEXT AND CLIPS

hey everyone!
i was hoping someone could help me out with this. i need to make a really basic dvd thats just a black background, some text, and the links to the clips i want to played. any tips with this?
thanks

Crumbs - it doesn't get more basic!! No images for the background needed?
OK, what you do is very simple indeed. Create a menu if you haven't already got one, and click on it so it appears in the editor window. Click and drag out a button rectangle and use the property inspector to add text to the button and include it in the button highlight. Set the target for the button and repeat the process for any other button you want to add. Make sure that you use the 'Settings' drop down box and assign the button navigation.
That's it.

Link from FM file to a Word File

How do I link to a word document in a FrameMaker 7.0 file. I figure that I would use a maker but what type of marker and what wording do I use?
Thank You

You need to use the "message openfile filename" construct in your marker. This will translate to a hypertext link that will open the "filename" in the system-level associated application.

Adding a link to an excel file in DVD Menu?

Can you add a link in the DVD menu to open and excel file?

This will be an option for those who have excel installed.
I am already including the file on the DVD in a folder called Excel File. However, I would like to make it easy for those who choose to open it. Other wise PC users need to the following:
1) Go to My Computer
2) Right click on the DVD
3) Click "explore" (Not open - which many will do)
4) Open the Excel File folder
5) Open the file
So my reason for doing this it to make 5 steps into 1.

There are a number of options and it depends on what you want to do.
1) If the user will supply a different file each time. Let's say your program takes this file and "processes" some data in it for example. Well then via command line argument or alternatively throw up a JFileChooser.
2) If the file will never change... well it should be in the jar really. Enough said.
3) If what you really want is a file that will seldom change or you want your program to look in a certain spot for a file or files then I would use the preferences API to store "the location" in which to look for the files. The preferences API stores this information somewhere on the computer but it's agnostic to you and your code as to where exactly.

Links on DVD menu aren't working.

Hi, I recorded a short Camtasia video showing how a chunk of the links on my DVD menu aren't working. I can't figure out what's going on. I cannot click on anything past "Marianna Ingraham", including "Main Menu". I burned a disc image and a hard copy DVD, neither of which worked. Can someone explain to me what's happening? Is there a link limit? Thanks.

Any way to link a controls' custom shortcut menu to a new .rtm file?

My project programmatically generates controls from a template. The template has a custom shortcut menu that is saved in the project directory, and the generated controls all work fine with this. However, now I need to be able to export the project to other directories/machines, and so now the generated controls can no longer 'find' the .rtm shortcut file, despite it being in the same folder as the control. This means if I want to be able to use the menu I have to open every generated control (which there can be hundreds of) and right-click -> advanced -> run-time shortcut menu -> and then reopen the file.
Is there any way to programmatically link a controls' shortcut menu to a new .rtm file, or is there any way to set a controls' custom shortcut file as a relative path instead of an absolute one?
Cheers

Many people can solve their problems with the 20 page limit using custom components. You should check out this thread
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2500263#2500263
It is possible to use the onClick -> go to State and set states on a custom component or any of its subcomponents.
Catalyst does not currently support linking to a local files.
