Loading Knob Digital Display Text Labels from External File

I have a knob interface. I display it on the instrument's front panel with the digital display.
The knob controls the settings on an external GPIB switch. The value of the 6 devices selected changes. I want to see the numbers 1 thru 6 on the knob, but the knob's digital display needs to show something like "12.5-13.5 MHz BPF".
I want to load the text visible in the knob's digital display from an external file located on the machine. I will not have the possibility of changing the VI for each location.
Can you do that?
If not, would an a case or event structure containing a text indicator, with text values read in from a file, be the best apporach?

If you don't have 8.0 and XControls, you can do something like the attached. I edited the knob control and then replaced the digital display with a text ring.Message Edited by Dennis Knutson on 04-21-2006 12:32 PM

How load text into dynamic text boxes from external file?

hi all,
my animation is very simple - a background image and 2 text boxes. one of the textboxes shows a large word, which crossfades to another word, with a total of about 12 words (showing one at a time in different text boxes fading in & out in the same spot).
i need a way to have the text be imported dynamically via xml or json (xml preferred). this article is a good start, but i noticed he's putting all of the text into one box - i need separate strings put into separate boxes from the xml.
Chris Gannon - Loading XML via AJAX into Adobe Edge
he uses
var outputField = $(this.lookupSelector(“xmlOutput”));
for his text box. what would be the best way to revise this code to include all my individual strings to be loaded into my individual text boxes? thinking an array might work, but my js skills are limited.
any other suggestions or tutorials you could point me to would be appreciated.
thanks!!

thanks joel_pau !
this is helpful in seeing how the array is created, but after giving it a go I became a little confused.
i wound up trying it again based on the example i linked out to previously, but it's not adding the text from my xml file when previewing.
here's the code i'm using in edge animate on my stage. something must be wrong somewhere. let me know if you have any suggestions on this.
// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here
// here i'm assigning a variable to each one of my textboxes at they're named in my edge animate comp
var outputField1 = $(this.lookupSelector("helps2"));
var outputField2 = $(this.lookupSelector("communicate"));
var outputField3 = $(this.lookupSelector("experience"));
var outputField4 = $(this.lookupSelector("interact"));
var outputField5 = $(this.lookupSelector("understand"));
var outputField6 = $(this.lookupSelector("overcome"));
var outputField7 = $(this.lookupSelector("flourish"));
var outputField8 = $(this.lookupSelector("collab"));
var outputField9 = $(this.lookupSelector("trust"));
var outputField10 = $(this.lookupSelector("grow"));
var outputField11 = $(this.lookupSelector("engage"));
var outputField12 = $(this.lookupSelector("survive"));
var outputField13 = $(this.lookupSelector("thrive"));
var outputField14 = $(this.lookupSelector("evolve"));
var outputField15 = $(this.lookupSelector("connect"));
var outputField16 = $(this.lookupSelector("achieve"));
$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "myxmlfile.xml",
    dataType: "xml",
    success: function(xml) {
//here i'm trying to load the the text in my xml file into my textboxes in edge animate. 'txt1, txt2, txt3' are the tags in my xml file
        outputField1 = $(xml).find('txt1').text();
        outputField2 = $(xml).find('txt2').text();
        outputField3 = $(xml).find('txt3').text();
        outputField4 = $(xml).find('txt4').text();
        outputField5 = $(xml).find('txt5').text();
        outputField6 = $(xml).find('txt6').text();
        outputField7 = $(xml).find('txt7').text();
        outputField8 = $(xml).find('txt8').text();
        outputField9 = $(xml).find('txt9').text();
        outputField10 = $(xml).find('txt10').text();
        outputField11 = $(xml).find('txt11').text();
        outputField12 = $(xml).find('txt12').text();
        outputField13 = $(xml).find('txt13').text();
        outputField14 = $(xml).find('txt14').text();
        outputField15 = $(xml).find('txt15').text();
        outputField16 = $(xml).find('txt16').text();
but nothing happens on preview. my textboxes still contain the original text that lives in my comp.

Maybe. What kind of other computer are you talking about? What operating system is it running? What kind of wireless router are you using?
Your best bet may be to just reset the router and set it up again.
Just so you know, WEP is a very old security system for wireless and is considered insecure. If you have it available, use WPA2.

Best to load preloader from external file or place it directly into existing movie?

Is it best to load the preloader from external file or place it directly into an already existing movie?

there's no one answer for everyone.
but for an inexperienced coder that's already completed their main project and is adding a preloader as an after-thought, it's usually easiest to create a stand-alone preloader.
and even for experienced coder's, that's usually the easiest way to preceed.

Creating Target Group from External File

Hello Experts
We need to create target group from external file. (That is to say we will have let's say txt file containing BP that belongs to specific target group and we need to assign these BPs to to specific target group in SAP CRM)
I have searched for it on sdn and found something benefical. I have found BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE, I have checked it but I don't understand how should we use it becuase as far as we understand it just creates target group, we cannot see anything related with Business Partner. How can we relate BPs with the target group we create by this BAPI.
What should we do, is anyone have previous experience about it? or is there a way to do it without using BAPI.
thanks it advance
M.
Edited by: Mehmet Ergul on Jan 22, 2009 11:19 AM

Hi,
You can do this from within the standard Web UI. It's straight out of the box.
Create a profile set and in there create a target group in the target group assignment block just by entering the description of the target group. Then enter edit mode of this target group and click the button "Import Members". Remeber to mark "Change selected target group" unless you want to create a new target group.

Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back

Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back after editing, thanks in advance

Lanny -
Thank you for taking the time to help with this problem. Can I just say however that as someone who has posted a first comment here and quite clearly never used a forum like this before, your comment unfortunately comes across as very excluding. It makes me feel there are a set of unwritten rules that I should know, and that I don't know them shows that the forum is not for me. In short, it's exactly the kind of response that stops people like me using forums like this.
I'm sure it's not intended to be received like this and I am sure that the way you have responded is quite normal in the rules of a forum like this. However, it is not normal for those of us who aren't familiar with forums and who only encounter them when they have a genuine problem. This is why I hope it is helpful to respond in full.
The reason I posted here is as follows. I was directed here by the apple support website. The original comment seemed to be the only one I could find which referred to my issue. As there is no obvious guidance on how to post on a forum like this it seemed perfectly reasonable to try and join in a conversation which might solve more than one problem at once.
Bee's reply however is both helpful and warm. This could in fact be a template for how new members should be welcomed and inducted into the rules of the forum in a friendly and inclusive way. Thank you very much indeed Bee!

Batch loading jpegs from external file

Hello,
I would like to preload a batch jpegs from an external file
(to make it easy for changes) - than use them in a slide-slide show
using a movieClip holder or loader component. I can use this
tutorial -
http://www.oman3d.com/tutorials/flash/portfolio_2_bc/index.php
But I don't what to have each jpeg loaded separately I want
them to preload b4 using..
What would be the best way to preload the external batch to
use for a slide show with next btn and prev btn? I can't find any
tutorials one this.
Thanks for any help,
Dave

In terms of where:
Well, for as2, you will probably need to load them as
dynamically created child clips of a single parent clip that you
use to display one swf from. You would cycle through them and just
set the _visible property of your 'current' clip to true and all
the others to false. Your next and previous buttons could change
which one was visible.
But if they are large images, you'll probably use a lot of
memory doing it this way and it would take longer to load them all
at the start. Its more usual to, for example, load all the
thumbnail images - smaller images, quicker to load - and then load
the larger one into a main viewing area when its thumbnail is
clicked.
How
There are plenty of examples of how to do this in tutorials
etc.
If you want to load all the thumbnails first, then perhaps
you won't find exactly what you want as a tutorial. Not every
possibility is covered in a tutorial. All I can really do is point
your in the right direction. If it were me I would use something
like David Stiller's MultiLoader class to make it easier perhaps
(in fact I have my own which works a little differently but was
seriously inspired by what I learnt from David's article at
http://www.quip.net/blog/2007/flash/actionscript-20/tracking-multiple-files-part1
& 2 )

Problem in displaying topics from external files

Hello,
I have a set of Help projects created using Robohelp classic
7.00.139 by Blue sky Software Corp. There is a Master project and
sub projects linked together using “.cnt” files.
Now I want to move to HTML Help format (".chm")
Using Adobe Robohelp 6 for word, I convert all the help
projects to .CHM FILES using Batch generate option in Adobe
Robohelp 6 for word. I put all the “.chm” files in a
single folder of my application. But now the links from my MASTER
projects to the sub projects are not working.
When an external topic is selected from the master it points
correctly to the topic title in TOC, corresponding to the external
sub project but the topic from the selected external file is not
displayed there.
What could be the problem? Are there any settings to be made?
Best regards

Report Viewer Control not displaying Japanese Text fetched from a file.

Hi,
I am using Crystal Report 2008.
I want my report to display values read from text file ( this file contains key = value pairs ), for this I have created a ufl ( created as .net dll and also tested correctly). The text file contains keys in english and theirs values in Japanese hence this text file is in UTF-8 format.
As said above the .net dll was tested with a .net application and the japanese values were returned correctly.
But using the same function as ufl in crystal report displays ???????? for same japanese text.
I have already installed the Japanese language pack for crystal report.
Please help as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Adding html into edge animate text box from external js file

I have a text field in edge animate that I want to update with a score. The function that is used to click and update the score is in an enternal file so I'm trying to figure out how to get my edge animate div to be read by jquery in the external file. This is what I have so far in the external js but it isn't reading the edge animate text field properly:
external .js file:
        AdobeEdge.coinCounter += 250; // this calls the variable coinCounter which was set in edgeActions.js and updates it from the original 0 value
                alert(AdobeEdge.coinCounter); // this shows it works and updated correctly
       var comp = AdobeEdge.getComposition("EDGE-172492634");
       var stage = comp.getStage();
     stage.sym.$("gameText").html(AdobeEdge.coinCounter); // this is where things go wrong. I want this updated value to read back into the textbox called "gameText" that is in the edgeAnimate composition
      stage.sym.$("gameText").html("NewText"); // nothing reads to the "gameText" textbox; something must be wrong how I am referencing it outside of edgeActions in the external .js file
Would someone mind helping me reference the textbox "gameText" correctly so I can input my new value? Thank you!!

Thank you. The learning curve is taking me awhile. It works now:
    var checking = AdobeEdge.getComposition("EDGE-172492634").getStage().$("gameText").text();
    alert(checking); //yay!
Thanks Joel!

Help with delivering dynamic text through an external file, through XML?

I'm struggling to find the best way to deliver dynamic text
from an external file, through XML, to a Flash file.
I use small Flash pieces to deliver multiple sets of content
through a single .swf file. An example is here:
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/government/federal.asp
In the .swf file at the bottom, I'm using a three-scene .fla
file. I'm putting the actionScript in the Actions layer atop each
frame. Example:
stop ();
loadVarsText = new LoadVars();
loadVarsText.load("fedNews.txt");
//assign a function which fires when the data is loaded:
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("done loading");
//Now that we know the data is loaded,
//set the text content of the Text Field
//with the instance name "scroller" equal to the
//contents of the variable
scroller.html=true;
scroller.htmlText = this.var1;
} else {
trace("not loaded");
In that .txt file, I'm putting the information like this:
var1=<a href='
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/classroomtraining/dau.asp'>DAU
Grants ESI Course CON353
Equivalency</a> Advanced Business Solution
in Contracting (CON 353) is an equivalency for DAU's CON 3535
course, Advanced Business Solutions for Mission Support. <a
href='
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/classroomtraining/dau.asp'>Continue</a>
So much of this is pick-ups from what I've researched in
Google. I'm looking for a way I can feel more confident in my code,
and also have that code follow CSS.
Lastly, I recognize the problems in XML with using single
quotes / double quotes, and the & symbol. This is one of my
largest time sucks, and I'd like to find a better way to do this.
Thank you

Hi,
Did you ever find a resolution to this? I'm having a similar
issue that I can't seem to get multiline dynamic text working in
CS3.
The font is embedded but it just displays the first line, and
then a blank. I'm sure this worked fine in Flash MX.
Cheers, Ant

Textinput issue from external file in AIR application (Is it bcz of mask?)

Hi
I tried to load external swf in TabNavigator. In this file, I have some input text.
I can key in external file's text input after load. But i got "Security Sandbox Violation" error.

To solve security issue, i used load swf as bytes. After load there is no security issues, but i cannot key in external file's text input.

How can solve this issue. Is there anything to do with css?
Is tabnavigator conatin default mask? How can user edit masked textinput without embed font?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply,
Yes, the addedToStage handler is executed every time. I set my host application up to work exactly with that behaviour. There are several events going from client to host to help the communication inside the the application. I can't get behind the reason why it won't work.
I made a case where I created a camera instance inside the host application and passed it over to the client via
client.setupFunction(inArg: arg, sendCamera: Camera);
That works. But I also need a microphone, and I can't get the mic working over with the same technique. And also I'd prefer to have it all in the client, cause I designed the application model to work exactly in that fashion.
I guess it's a secruity sandboxing problem, but I can't find any documentation on this issue.
Thanks, maybe another solution can be found here. ;-)
