Load Main movie in Skin at run time?

Good day,
I'm new to Adobe Captivate and I'm trying to create a PHP
extension for media wiki to load captivate tutorial movies for
wiki. I can load flash files into wikis fine but I'm having trouble
with the playbar skin.
So I publish a Captivate project and it generated two swf
files, movie.swf and movie_skin.swf. I noticed that the
movie_skin.swf automatically loads the movie_skin.swf if you open
it. I was wondering if there was someway I could change the movie
being loaded by movie_skin.swf that way all I need to do is upload
one copy of the movie_skin.swf and have it load different files
depending on the parameters I pass.
for example,
<captivate>file=movie1.swf</captivate>
movie_skin.swf would load movie1.swf
<captivate>file=movie2.swf</captivate>
movie_skin.swf would load movie2.swf
Or is there a parameter/property I can set in the
<embed>,<param> or <object> to tell
movie.skin.swf which movie to load?
Cheers

Hi there Freely and welcome to our community
You may wish to consolidate the playback controls with the
main part of the movie. You do this by clicking Project >
Skin... > Borders tab and DE-selecting the "Show Borders" check
box.
Sorry, no way I'm aware of to use a common Skin.SWF and pass
parameters like you are asking.
Cheers... Rick

How to change the skin at run time

I am using jDeveloper 11.1.1.3 for ADF.
My UseCase: i want to give a dropdown for skins. User should be able to select the skin at run time and it should be loaded. Please let me know how can i achieve it.
Zee

As per usecase, looks like you have the LOV containing the different skins.
You can ensure that the application is skinned according to the selected value in the LOV.
Ensure that you have a session scope variable that is set, whenever you change the LOV.
For more details, look into this link http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/e10140/skinning.htm
Thanks for your reply, but then...... what will be the skin loaded by default before the user selects the skin - drop down. Do i have to set something default before hand .?Define the LOV such that there are no empty elements. i.e the first element in the LOV is selected.
In the Managed bean, if the session scope is not set, return the skin family for the first element. This would be the scenario when the application loads.
Thanks,
Navaneeth

Error 1003 when loading a VI dynamically on LabView Run-time ini file configuration

hi all,
I have a problem with my runtime excutable.
On 4 systems, all running XP it runs fine.
On 2 systems ( one a new install of just LVRT 2011 SP1 ) I have:
Error 1003 when loading a VI dynamically on LabView Real-time
Or more spoecifically the error code is 1003 and the error source is Open VI Reference.
When the RT app runs correctly I get these paths:
Path Sent to Open Vi Reference: Yeast_Grower.exe\Tecan_talk_Control.vi,
Path Returned from Open Vi Refence: C:\Program Files\Yeast_Grower\Yeast_Grower.exe\Tecan_talk_Control.vi,
On a system that does gets the 1003 Open Vi Refence error I have the same Path Sent but of course no path returned as it does not open.
To be sure that the vi Dyanmically called vi is compiled and valid at runtime I also include a copy of in the main.vi.
To be extra sure I have also installed the runtime versions of VISA and DAQmx.
I have compiled it with and without the "Use LV 8 calling hiaracy"
My conclusion as this stage is that either the installation of LVRT 2011SP1 misses something the earlier LVRT installtions make.
or is there a MyApp.ini or LVRT .ini that controls how the RT dyanim calls are handled.
Help very welcome how to solve this puzzle.
thanks
michael

I understand that all the PCs (6 of them) have LV 2011 SP1, runtime or the development system installed. Right?
How many of these PCs have the source code available on them?
-> Only one of them has the source code.
I am not sure I understood 'I also include a copy of in the main.vi'. Does it mean you placed the subvi in the main.vi?
-> I meant I have included in main.vi the actual vi that is called dynamically - but only where it is not called.
Did you try including the sub vi which is called dynamically, as 'Always included' in the EXE build?
-> No, I did not know of this option - but the above I did this by default.
Edit: Did you verify the software versions of LV RT, VISA etc on all the PCs? Are they same?
-> I did verify even added DAQmx just in case
There is lots of material available on this forum for error 1003 and dynamic vi calling. Did you find anything useful to try among the forums threads?
-> I did view many of them.
I did finally find the answer.
I have a subvi (callNet.vi ) in the dynamically called vi (dynamic ) that calls .Net libraries.
Now the thing is that this subvi callNet.vi is coded out by enclosing it in a Disable structure.
In fact this subvi ( callNet.vi) does not even compile - ie it has a broken arrow
however if enclosed in a Disabled structure and disabled, the enclosing vi compiles OK.
However I have discovered that even with the .Net calling subvi (callNet.vi) in the Disabled state of the Disabled structure
the enclosing vi (dynamic.vi ) does NOT run - although it compiles just fine.
Once I installed the .Net libraries (I actually did include them with my app installer ) with the vender's supplied installer
then my app now successfully calls the dynamic vi.
So the Summary and warning is: Even if the dynamic called vi is included in Main.vi and Main.exe runs ( but does not call the dynamic vi - except when called dynamically at later some point ) and even if, in this case, the .Net calling subvi is disabled out ie no .Net calls are made the dynamically called vi will not run when called dynamically.
I hope that is not too confusing. In summary it seems the Disable structure does not entirely disable.

Loading the final static variables at run time.. Please help

Hello, fellow developers & Gurus,
Please help me figure out the best way to do this:
I need to load all my constants at run time. These are the public static final instance variables. The variables values are in the DataBase. How do I go about loading them.

Your original question was diffeent, but your further posts show what you really want to do:
1) all constants in 1 class
2) available readonly for other classes
3) updatable during runtime by changing in the database
Did I understand you right?
Then smiths' approach solves point 2):
Instead, make the variables available through a method
call - that way you avoid the whole final variable
versus read-only attributes problem.
//GLOBAL VARIABLES EXPOSED AS PUBLIC PROPERTIES
public final class GlobalProperties
public static int getTableSize();
public static int getRowSize();
Each "constant" should be a private static variable, and these methods simply return their values.
The variables are initialized in a static initializer by accessing the db. Ok.
You habe a table with one row containing as columns all the constants.
A method readConstants() does a "select constant1, constant2, ... from const_table" and sets all the variables.
The static initializer calls this method.
Right?
Ok, then you simply call readConstants() everytime you want to synchronize with the actual content of const_table.
Was it this?

Load/Import images with Lingo in "running time"

I would like to do the following:
When I start a Shockwave application on my website, I want to
load an images from the server and include it in my movie.
How can I do it? (The image is not initially on the movie).
On the other hand (this one is more difficult): If I have a
3D scene: Can I put such image in a wall of my 3D scene
dynamically?
Thank you a lot.

To load an external image in your movie, you can set the
.fileName property of a bitmap member. It would help to preload the
image file, so that it is available locally before setting the
filename. Look up preloadNetThing().
To show an image on a wall in a 3D scene, you need to make
the image into a texture, make the texture part of a shader, and
use that as the shader of the wall mesh. Here's a movie that does
something like that, using images already available in a castLib:

Teststand error states that a vi failed to load in the Labview Run-Time Engine

I am getting an error in teststand that states that a vi failed to load in the Labview Run-Time Engine version '14.0.1'
If I look at the software loaded on my system with the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer I have Labview Run Time engines for version 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, & 2014 on my system.
How do I get this VI to run on this system when it is called by test Stand?
Thank you

The RTE 14.0 was loaded as part of my deployment and after I ran this I got an update notice for the F1 patch which I also loaded.
I do not have labview loaded on this system, only the run time engines from running my deployment.
When I launch t he teststand sequence, when it calls the labview VI, I get the following error moessage:
Error: Failed to load VI 'C:\builds\RelayVoltageMeaure.vi' in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine version '14.0.1'. LabVIEW: The VI is not executable. This error may occur because the VI is either broken or contains a subVI that LabVIEW cannot locate. Select File>>Open to open the VI and verify that you can run it. VI Path: C:\builds\RelayVoltageMeaure.vi[Error Code: -17600, Failed to load a required step's associated module. ]
I have attached the teststand sequence if this helps.
Thanks

IE tries to load all movies if set to 'autoplay'

I have created modules with many video clips included. These are all set to autoplay when the user gets to the slide. This works fine in Safari, Chrome and FF. However in IE 7 and 8 the browser tries to load ALL the movies when the swf first loads leading to crash/hang.
If I turn off autoplay it behaves - but I would rather the videos autoplay when the user gets to a page.
Any ideas!

Hi Vish
I have tested on IE7 under XP and IE8 under Vista
In both cases it seems that IE (only) tries to load the movies in the module
multiple times. I have used an Http analyser to log calls to the server and
with IE see multiple loads of the same movie before the module has started
like below:
18     False     + 5.344           True     145.610 s     GET     200
22.37 M     (None)
http://learning.pukkafilms.com/file.php/2/moddata/scorm/13/mod1.flv
19     False     + 11.578           True     139.345 s     GET
200     22.52 M     video/x-flv
http://learning.pukkafilms.com/file.php/2/moddata/scorm/13/mod1.flv
I have tried turning off autoplay on the movies, and tried turning off the
'prloader' option when publishing and tried turning off the autoplay when
publishing but IE seems to still try and download any movies linked in the
module.
If you want to try on windows 7 you can access the course at
learning.pukkafilms.com and use the enrolement key 'trial'
Of course it may be a moodle thing!
Nick
I have now run quite a few tests... each module I have contains around 5 movies. If I split the module into 5 sub modules and link from module to module, only the first movie loads in IE and they all play OK. But this is a bore as new SWFs have to load every 3 or 4 pages. However it is a workaround!
I am still interested in why IE tries to preload all the movies linked to from a single Captivate SWF. I have updated to latest players and am using the 'patched' captivate 5 to recover from last flash player update.
The problem is not evident when playing locally - but I suspect the overhead on IE is smaller.

"open vi reference" with run time menue

Hello,
I met some problems with "open vi reference" in labview.i can't parallel run this vi with the run time menue.i can't load the any vi then the run time menue has activation.(the "open vi reference" can run after the run time menue release.). it's means labview is serial running for this both function.but now i want to parallel running in the program.so would you give the some idear?

Now I see what you are talking about. What you are trying to do is expected behavior. If you click on the menu while any state is running that doesn't lock the front panel, then the menu will halt the VI execution until you choose a menu item.
You should check the option in the event to "Lock front panel until event case for this event completes" Then you will not be able to click on the system menu until tthe VI is launched and running. If you wire a True like I suggested before, then you will fall out of the case pretty quickly in non-hoghlight mode, and the user most likely will not notice. If the VI you are trying to open is quite large, it will take a little bit of time for LV to load the VI into memory.
In highlight-mode, you just have to wait for the event to process before you select the menu.

Can an AS1/2 swf loaded via Loader class tell the main movie (AS3) that it has run to the end of its timeline?

If I load an external swf:
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("abc.swf"));
addChild(my_loader);
abc.swf starts playing - how do I get it to tell the main movie that it reached the end of its timeline and finished playing? Added bonus: the loaded swf is AS1 and the main movie is AS3. I'm not sure if I could convert the loaded swf to AS3.
Thanks,
Sean

I have not used this component but it may work for you:

Loading style sheets at run time

I have created few fonts css and compiled them into swf to
load them at run time.
There is one custom component Card, is placed into a Module
and this Module is loaded by main application.
The Card component contains TextArea, MyTextArea(custom
component) and ComboBox (which display font list).
Now when user select any font from ComboBox, Card component
load css and when it get loaded, it updates fontFamily of TextArea
and MyTextArea. But only TextArea updated with new fonts while
MyTextArea is not getting update anytime.
Can anyone help me to figure out this.
I am using following code to load css run time.
var myEvent:IEventDispatcher =
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(fontSource[0].src,true,false,ApplicationDomain.current Domain);
myEvent.addEventListener(StyleEvent.COMPLETE,fontComplete);
myEvent.addEventListener(StyleEvent.ERROR,fontError);
Any help will be appreciated, Thanks

Could you save the CSS files as SWCs instead of SWFs and compile them in to the IPA?
Just a thought; I've never done this myself.

Any possibility for loading and changing XFL/... data at run time of Flash app?

Hi everybody,
I have a quick and general question for the following case:
I want to produce some transitions and effects for a kinetic typography project in After Effects and then import these parts into Flash Professional via XFL and Bridge.
So my actual problem is this one: my Flash application should be able to load these made transitions and effects dynamically at run-time and not from a pre-configured timeline made upfront. Because there should be dynamic text fields in these XFL data from After Effects I also need to be loaded at run-time for the kinetic typography thing.
So is there any possible way to do / load / change the dynamic text fields in these XFL data or the order of all transitions and effects in Flash Professional at run-time or anything else?
I know this is a special question, but I hope there would be an answer...
Thanks for your help in advance
Regards,
Kevin

Something along this model is what I had in mind:
public class MainPanel extends JPanel
    private DrawPanel drawPanel = new DrawPanel();
    private JComboBox comboLeft = new JComboBox();
    private JComboBox comboRight = new JComboBox();
    public MainPanel()
        // add drawpanel and comboboxes to main panel
        // add item listener to comboboxes
    private class ComboListener implements ItemListener
        @Override
        public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent arg0)
            if (...) // both comboboxes changed
                // get values from comboboxes
                drawPanel.setValues(left, right); // call drawpanel's method
public class DrawPanel extends JPanel
    private int left = 0;
    private int right = 0;
    public DrawPanel()
        //setPreferredSize(....); // set panel size
    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
        super.paintComponent(g);
        //... draw the line depending on the left and right value
    public void setValues(int left, int right)
        this.left = left;
        this.right = right;
        repaint();
}

Load a variable at run time

I have the following code to load in some images and
display/move them:
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.Loader, "myLoader", 1);
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.Loader, "myLoader2", 2);
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.Loader, "myLoader3", 3);
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.Loader, "myLoader4", 4);
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.Loader, "myLoader5", 5);
myLoader.scaleContent = false;
myLoader2.scaleContent = false;
myLoader3.scaleContent = false;
myLoader4.scaleContent = false;
myLoader5.scaleContent = false;
var images:Array = ["
http://www.mysite.com/images/image_01.jpg",
http://www.mysite.com/images/image_01.jpg",
http://www.mysite.com/images/image_01.jpg",
http://www.mysite.com/images/image_01.jpg",
http://www.mysite.com/images/image_01.jpg"
myLoader.contentPath = images[0];
myLoader._x = 0;
myLoader._y = 0;
myLoader2.contentPath = images[1];
myLoader2._x = 320;
myLoader2._y = 0;
myLoader3.contentPath = images[2];
myLoader3._x = 640;
myLoader3._y = 0;
myLoader4.contentPath = images[3];
myLoader4._x = 960;
myLoader4._y = 0;
myLoader5.contentPath = images[4];
myLoader5._x = 1280;
myLoader5._y = 0;
This works great, but what I'm wondering is, can I load in
the images array variable at run time from an external file so I
could edit that file on the server in order to change images,
without having to re-publish the flash file? Thanks for any help.

Adrian,
Have a look at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/howto_create_upload_spreadsheet_form.html
It's not 100% what you're looking for (as it requires you to cut & paste from the spreadsheet), but it may do what you're after.

Control external swf file that is loaded into main movie

I've loaded an external movie into Scene2 of the main movie,
I want a button in the main movie, in scene two, which shows
up right now under the external loaded movie, to be able to
onRelease gotoAndStop at the first frame of the external movie
which is loaded into that scene. Do I just write that as:
AssociateSelected_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("RGSassociate.swf","frame1")
? I thought I tried this, but since the ext.movie is loaded
automatically on entering the scene it is not put into a level
(which would be easier to navigate)....
Any help/thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks!

Just a thought- can i refer to the external movie through the
loading component instance name?
Still wondering if I can control the time line inside the
external movie from the main movie...

Any restriction on Mac that binaries running from root dirs like /usr/libexec/ cannot load dylib's at run-time?

Hi all,
Is there any restriction on Mac OS X 10.6/10.7 that binaries running from root directories like /usr/libexec/ cannot load dylib's at run-time using dlopen() or NSAddImage()?
I am trying to run a binary like "sample" from a directory inside /usr/libexec/ which tries to load a dylib like "sample.dylib" which is present in the same directory as "sample".
It resulted in a segmentation fault with the following error and stack-trace.
Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0x0000000000003430
0x0000000000003430 in ?? ()
Using gdb, I could find out that the program crashed inside dlopen() (the path passed to dlopen() being a simple filename like "sample.dylib").
The dlopen() at the top of the stack-trace pasted below gets called around 10 times; it does not crash during this 2nd level dlopen() any-time.

After this 2nd level dlopen() gets called 10-15 times, the stack will unwind from map_images_nolock () till __dyld_dlopen (). But when it tries to finish all the instructions inside __dyld_dlopen () and step out of it, the program crashes with the EXC_BAD_ACCESS signal.
Please find below the final stack-traces obtained during debugging when I put breakpoints for AAA() and dlopen() and went on stepping inside till the program crashed.

To summarise:
For some reason, a user wants to install a product and its binaries under /usr/libexec/.
This binary tries to dynamically load a dylib using dlopen("sample.dylib", RTLD_LAZY | RTLD_LOCAL).
It looks like, the dynamic linker then opens dependent dylibs and runs module initialisers. Then crashes when returning (which sounds like a trashed stack).
Can anyone please tell me whether there is some OS-imposed restriction or OS bug which can explain this type of behaviour?
(Note: The crash does not occur if the binary and dylib are installed under a normal user's home directory and run from there.)
Many thanks,
Vinay

ITunes 9 shows/movies show wrong run time.

Things were fine with iTunes 8, but ever since installing iTunes 9 I notice almost everything in my movie list shows the wrong run time, usually double what it actually is, and the same shows up on my ipod after syncing it. I am not sure what is causing this, but it's a little annoying. So I was wondering if anyone has some info or a solution? Thanks for any help.

Attached are screen shots for the menu handling code for good1, bad1, and the launch section of the code for the main.vi. In the launch code the good1 is in the bottom loop and bad1 is in the upper loop. Pretty simple stuff, set corresponding led for the case string. If statement to handle code when led is true....
Another interesting aside, I just remembered that I had the same problem with good3 as bad1until I added the error out indicator as shown in bad1. Once I added the indicator to good3 it was fine, which is why it was added when I wrote bad1. I had intended to go back and add it to good1 and good2, but haven't found the time/need.
I did have some really elaborate code to catch and display any errors messages in bad1, but I only caught an error once and it was under some strange condition in development mode which I was unable to dupllicate. Deleted that code in frustration....
