Loading photos and data into InDesign

Hello
I have an Excel file containing the file location, title, description and the date the photograph was taken for about 200 photos. I need to be able to load the image and relevant data (i.e one photo per A4 page) automatically for each image.
What i want to end up with is a document containing 1 photo and the relevant file title and description per page, therefore 200 pages.
Can anyone tell me the best way of doing this. I have tried Google but can not find anything relevant.
Thanks

How do I load photos and video into existing flash

Hi,
I can work with graphics and timeline keyframes but I'm
generally clueless about scripting.
I have a page:
http://www.harmoniccycle.com/hc/swf/IMBA/pineyZ/PINEY_Z.html
that I've prepared with 3 button instances in anticipation of
loading either one of 2 photos or a video clip into a upper level
I am terrible with the loadmovie syntax, and have tried
loading the photos with a onrelease load movie script but keep
getting error reports.
I am also unclear as how best to unload the photos or video
to get back to the lowest level timeline.
I have Flash 8.
I see you can load jpegs or .swf but t seems if I can learn
to load .swfs I could then use the same load/unload solution to
load either my photos (whcih I guess I would *embed* in a .swf) or
the flash video (also as a .swf)
thanks for any help you can offer,

OWB11gR2 - simple and easy way to load XML formatted data into db tables?

Hi,
we're currently trying to load table data stored in XML files into our datawarehouse using OWB 11gR2.
However, we're finding this is not quite as trivial as loading flat files...
Most postings on this forum points to the blog-entry title "Leveraging XDB" found here (http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/09/leveraging_xdb.html).
This blog also references the zip-file owb_xml_etl_utils.zip, which seems to have disappeared from it's original location and can now be found on sourceforge.
Anyway, the solution described is for OWB 10g, and when trying to import experts from the zip-file etc. we end up not being able to run the "Create ETL from XSD" expert, as the 11gR2 client is different from the 10g and does not have the Experts menu et.al.
Also, this solution was published over 3 years ago, and it seems rather strange that importing XML-formatted data should still be so cumbersome in the newer warehouse builder releases.
The OWB 11gR2 documentation is very sparse (or rather - quite empty) on how to load XML data, all it has is a few lines on "XML Transformations", giving no clue as to how one goes about loading data.
Is this really the state of things? Or are we missing some vital information here?
We'd have thought that with 11g-releases, loading XML-data would be rather simple, quick and painless?
Is there somewhere besides the blog mentioned above where we can find simple and to the point guidelines for OWB 11gR2 on how to load XML-formatted data into Oracle tables?
Regards,
-Haakon-

Yes it is possible to use SQL*Loader to parse and load XML, but that is not what it was designed for and so is not recommended. You also don't need to register a schema, just to load/store/parse XML in the DB either.
So where does that leave you?
Some options
{thread:id=410714} (see page 2)
{thread:id=1090681}
{thread:id=1070213}
Those talk some about storage options and reading in XML from disk and parsing XML. They should also give you options to consider. Without knowing more about your requirements for the effort, it is difficult to give specific advice. Maybe your 7-8 tables don't exist and so using Object Relational Storage for the XML would be the best solution as you can query/update tables that Oracle creates based off the schema associated to the XML. Maybe an External Table definition works better for reading the XML into the system because this process will happen just once. Maybe using WebDAV makes more sense for loading XML to be parsed (I don't have much experience with this, just know it is possible from what I've read on the forums). Also, your version makes a difference as you have different options available depending upon the version of Oracle.
Hope all that helps as a starter.

In PSA I can find all the 2388 records but when I load into datatarget in transferred tab there are 2388 records but in added colum i could find only 2096.....
I deleted the request and want to load through process chains....... but how to do ?????? without flat file ...can we laod using process chains?
I appreciate any inputs.......

did you even bother looking at the links in my previous posts???
read the docs...try yourself...if you encounter specific issues, you can post them on the forum...
if you're really expecting somebody to post a step by step for process chain, i think you can wait a long, long time...

Loading new xml data into a already xml populated image display

Hi everybody,
I have a question about loading new xml data into a already xml populated image gallery.
So I have my gallery set up so it calls some xml when it first loads. What I would now like to do is load different sets of images via a different xml sheet via the click of a button.
So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and user can click on them to view the full size image. So next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would just like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones from a different xml file.
If anybody can help me with this it would be great as I am still on a steep learning curve with AS3.
Here is my AS3
var xmlPath:String = "pictures.xml";
var xml:XML;
var loader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(xmlPath));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void
     if ((e.target as URLLoader) != null )
          xml = new XML(loader.data);
          createMenu();
var numberOfItems:uint = 0;
var menuItems:Array = new Array();
function createMenu():void
          numberOfItems = xml.items.item.length();
     var count:uint = 0;
          for each (var item:XML in xml.items.item)
          var imageLoader=new Loader();
          var menuItem:MenuItem = new MenuItem();
          menuItem.addChild(imageLoader);
          imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(item.url));
          menuItem.linkTo = item.linkTo;
          menuItem.mouseChildren = false;
          menuItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, itemClicked);
          menuItems.push(menuItem);
          addChild(menuItem);
          count++;
function ***():void
     //menuItems.sortOn("zpos3D", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
     for (var i:uint = 0; i < menuItems.length; i++)
          setChildIndex(menuItems[i], i);

Thanks so much for the reply Andrei1
I think maybe my lack of knowledge when it comes to AS3 is not helping me at the moment because I thought I understood the code you supplied but there is something not going quite right.
So I messed around with the code and added the new_loaded_thumbs_btn to load in the "new_pictures.xml" but I am def doing something wrong.
import flash.ui.ContextMenuItem;
var xmlPath:String = "pictures.xml";
var xml:XML;
var numberOfItems:uint = 0;
var menuItems:Array = new Array();
var loader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
loadXML("pictures.xml");
new_loaded_thumbs_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadXML);
function loadXML(path:String):void {
     loader.load(new URLRequest("new_pictures.xml"));
function loadXML(path:String):void {
     loader.load(new URLRequest(path));
function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void
     xml = new XML(loader.data);
     createMenu();
function createMenu():void
     clearMenu();
     numberOfItems = xml.items.item.length();
     var count:uint = 0;
     var imageLoader;
     var menuItem:MenuItem;
     for each (var item:XML in xml.items.item)
          imageLoader = Loader();
          menuItem = new MenuItem();
          menuItem.addChild(imageLoader);
          imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(item.url));
          menuItem.linkTo = item.linkTo;
          menuItem.mouseChildren = false;
          menuItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, itemClicked);
          menuItems.push(menuItem);
          addChild(menuItem);
          count++;
     sortChildren();
// removes previously placed objects
function clearMenu():void {
     var menuItem:MenuItem;
     while (menuItems.length > 0) {
          menuItem = menuItems[0];
          removeChildAt(getChildIndex(menuItem));
          menuItem.shift();
function sortChildren():void
     //menuItems.sortOn("zpos3D", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
     for (var i:uint = 0; i < menuItems.length; i++)
          setChildIndex(menuItems[i], i);
When the image display 1st loads it displays the new_pictures.xml thumbs which I thought would load through my new button when clicked.
And there was me thinking I was getting the hang of AS3.
Could you please point me in the right direction in what I am doing wrong,
Thanks for your time and effort in advance

Most efficient way to load XML file data into tables

I have a complex XML file running into MBs. I want to load it's data into 7-8 tables.
Which way will be better:
1) Use SQL Loader to actually load directly into the 7-8 tables directly by modifying the control card.
Is this really possible and feasible? I am not even sure about it
2) Load data as XML Type in a table and register it. Then extract from there to load into various tables.
Please help. I have to find the most efficient way of doing it.

Sudhir

My photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos", and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here

my photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos", and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here. I need to get it working again because we're about to go on a trip!

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Regarding loading of excel data into oracle database

hello,
Can someone help me in knowing that how can we load excel sheets data into oracle database.
I will be really thankful to you.
Gursimran

Hi,
There is tool given by oracle "Oracle Bulk Loader "
you can use this.
But in order use this you need a control file, which specifies how data should be loaded into the database; and a data file, which specifies what data should be loaded.
Example :- this is the control file which has information how the data is processed.
LOAD DATA
INFILE test.dat
INTO TABLE test
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
(i, s)
Example :- test.dat which is the data file or say your excel sheet or document
(1, 'foo')
(2, 'bar')
(3, ' baz')
example of Loading :-
sqlldr <yourName> control=<ctlFile> log=<logFile> bad=<badFile>
sqlldr testing control=test.ctl log=test.log
Thanks

Loading of presummarized data into Analytic Workspace

Hi,
The structure of my AW is as follows:
DIM_A:
a1 ________
|___ a2
|___ a3
TOP_LEVEL LEAVES_LEVEL
DI_B:
b1 ________
|___ b2
|___ b3
TOP_LEVEL LEAVES_LEVEL
There is a cube named CUBE_1 based on the two dimensions and a measure MEASURE_1 defined in it.
Fact table:
DIM_A DIM_B MEASURE_1
a1 b1 100
a2 b2 2
a2 b3 5
a3 b2 4
a3 b3 3
My CUBE_1 cube is mapped to the fact table.
The structure of my AW is created in AW Manager.
What should I do to make the following row to be summarized with the rest o f t he rows?
DIM_A DIM_B MEASURE_1
a1 b1 100
I expect the value of 100 to be added to the vaue comming from the aggregation of the leaves.
In the documentation of AWManager there is said: "Data may also be loaded that has been presummarized in an other system."
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/1451_AWM10g.pdf, page 11.
Regards,
azawada

In my experience if you want to load pre-aggregated data into a cube you need to modify your cube mapping. The assumption is that your source fact table contains all the possible permutations for the specified dimension member. You then make multiple mappings from the source dimension column to each level listed in the dimension section of the cube mapping object.
Within the cube definition you then need to assign the aggregation method of Non-additive on the 'Rules' tab and de-select all the levels on the 'Summarize To' tab
Hope this helps

Loading Labview Binary Data into Matlab

This post explains the Labview binary data format. I couldn't find all of this information in any one place so this ought to help anyone in the future. I didn't want to add any overhead in Labview so I did all of my conversion in Matlab.
The Labview VI "Write to Binary File" writes data to a file in a linear format using Big Endian numbers of the type wired into the "Write to Binary File" VI. The array dimensions are listed before the actual array data.
fid = fopen('BinaryData.bin','r','ieee-be'); % Open the binary file
Dim1 = fread(fid,4); % Reads the first dimension
Dim2 = fread(fid,4); % Reads the second dimension
Dim3 = ...
Each dimension's length is specified by 4 bytes. Each increment of the first, second, third, and fourth byte represent 2^32, 2^16, 2^8, and 1 respectively. 0 0 2 38 equates to 2*256 + 38 = 550 values for that particular dimension.
As long as you know the number of dimensions and precision of your binary data you can load it.
Data = fread(fid,prod([Dim1 Dim2 Dim3]),'double',0,'ieee-be'); % Load double precision data
If you have appended multiple arrays to the same file in Labview you would repeat this procedure. Load each dimension then load the data, repeat.
Data = fread(fid,prod([Dim1 Dim2 Dim3]),'int8',0,'ieee-be'); % Load int8 precision data or boolean data
I had to create a function for my own purposes so I thought I'd share it with everyone else too. I uploaded it to the Matlab File Exchange. The file is named labviewload.m.
This was tested on Matlab R2007a and Labview 8.2.

Thanks. I have the same questions as I tried to load labview binary data into Matlab.

Loading InfoObject master data into Cube

Hi Guys,
I have a question. I created an InfoObject as a data target and loaded data into that data target. I created a cube and I want to include this infoobject in the cube. Now How do I load data into this cube from the InfoObject.Because the InfoObject doesnt have any option to select data targets, since it is master data.
Data is being loaded into the InfoObejct. But when I check the cube there is no data.
How do I load this master data into the cube without update rules?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
i think u need load some value to transaction data so that you can report on it, but how you are going to decide which row will be having which value from master data? in general value for this should come from transactional data, or you could assign some constant value to it.
Do you want to use any attribute of Inoobject in report? And if you have any key value for that coming from Transaction data, you can use rule type as read from master data
It depends upon your requirememt.
Since you want to restrict the values of the cube which are going into the report then you should include this object into the cube.
In any case if you want to restrict the value of the transactional data in the cube with either the value of the objects ot the attributes of object you will have to add this object into the cube.
As you said you can load master data and use in report but how you are going to use it..............you will have to include it in the cube to use it.
Also you can check whether this object is attribute of some other object already in the cube in that case you can make it navigation attribute and then use it for the restrictions in the cube.
In this case only you do need to add it to the cube,But if it not an attribute of any object then you must add it to the cube.
You have to get the value of your infoobject into Cube from datasource, even though you want to use attributes only.
You will have to add it and it wont have any effect the transaction data getting loaded into the cube will be different from the master data only SID's are matched during loading of the data.
You should load separate master data into the 0recontract infoobject with the master data source and make the respective object contract type and contract category as navigation there.
Also you should add 0recontract to the cube and update it from the transaction data source as you have said that it can be updated.
Then just do the normal restrication at the report level
You can make this display attribute as naviagatioonal first in the master data object and then in the cube make this attribute as navigational.
then you can use it to restrict in the cube
You can use Category as InfoObject in your cube, and while loading data for your infoobject in the rule type you can use option as reading from master data. It will take key of infoobject, and will update attribute value in your cube.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/f913426908ca7ee10000000a1550b0/content.htm
You can also restrict with attributes value, Just in the restrcition of your infoobject in query designer, slelect left-botton button of 'Dipaly Other Values', here you can select you attribute and its value for restriction as well

Hareesh

Have framemaker files generated on mac in 2000 want to incorporate data into indesign cs 6 for pc?

Have framemaker files generated on mac in 2000 want to incorporate data into indesign cs 6 for pc?

They're Apple HDV, not ProRes. QuickTime Player on Windows does not have a decoding component for these files--and as a side note, you don't need to install the ProRes decoder since that has been built into QuickTime Player for some time now.
Anyway, you can get a third-party decoder for these files: Calibrated{Q} XD Decode. Note that Apple changed something in QuickTime 7.7 and the Apple HDV clips will not work with it; you'll need to roll back to no later than 7.6.9 to use the component properly. You can get that version here: Old Version of QuickTime Player 7.6.9 Download - OldApps.com.
I have a method of converting these to a format that can be natively handled in Premiere Pro, but it's not really suited for large quantities of files like yours. Calibrated XD Decode isn't exactly cheap ($130 on sale right now), but it will get you up and running with minimal effort--that's probably worth the admission price.
