Location and size of hotspot in a packaged file

Hi all,
I'm working on a authorware program in which I want to use the location ans size of a clicked hotspot to draw a rectangle. Ultimately, I would like to be able to change the size/position of a hotspot, and when packaged, the rectangle should be drawn at the new position of the hotspot, with the new size. So far, I've been succesful in an unpackaged file with:
  GetIconProperty(@Title; #awSizeX))
  GetIconProperty(@Title; #awSizeY))
  GetIconProperty(@Title; #awLocationX)
  GetIconProperty(@Title; #awLocationY)
where Title is the title of the clicked hotspot. So far so good... BUT I learned the hard way that GetIconProperty() does not work in a packaged authorware file (next time I'll first read the help section better!). My question: how can I obtain the same information in a packaged authorware file?
I have been looking at the GetSpriteProperty() function, which should work in a packaged file. However, the hotspots are not sprites, and I don't know what spriteproperties I should use for the location and size of the hotspot  (#awSizeX, #awSizeY, #awLocationY, & #awLocationX don't work). Furthermore, GetPostPoint does provide the position of the top left pixel position of the hotspot, but I need separate X and Y values for the position of the hotpot to be able to use the Box() function to draw the rectangle. And I need the of the hotspot as well. Lastly, PositionY@Title and PositionX@Title don't work for my hotspots (the value is always 0 and does not change when clicking the hotspots).
I could solve the problem by making variables of all the position values and size values of all the hotspots, but then I would not be able to change the position and size of the hotspot by dragging, and changing the rectangle accordingly.
I would be more than happy to hear if anyone has a solution for me.
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your suggestions! Regarding your first thought: I don't know what you mean by making my clickable area a hit *object. I've tried the help pages of authorware, but it drew a blank. Could you explain how I can make my clickable area a hit *object?
Regarding clickX/Y: the values depend on the exact location where the user clicks, therefore drawing a rectangle over a picture (which is not moving) is difficult using clickX/Y. I would like the rectangle to appear on a certain spot (namely on the position of the hotspot, with the same width & height), regardless where in the hotspot the user clicks.

  • Firefighter Logs storage location and size in GRC AC 5.3

    Hello Gurus,
    We are working on Firefighter configuration and are totally confused with following questions, appreciate if someone can show the light here :
    Where does the Firefighter logs stored - in backend or frontend or both? Can we check the size of existing Firefighter logs.
    Is there any mechanism to find out the approximate space requirement for Firefighter usage (based on number of firefighter id and number of transactions executed per day).
    Thanks
    Davinder

    D P,
      The logs are stored in the backend SAP system. I have not seen any space requirement for FF. You can take a look at the sizing guide for AC 5.3 and you may find some useful information.

  • Batch font face and size change

    Hi everybody,
    I'm looking to create a batch action/script the will select and change the font face and size in a series of .eps files of barcodes.
    I'm not sure if it's a scripting thing because I've never scripted before.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction or tell me how to do it (action or script)  I'd be very grateful.
    (Each image contains the barcode and three text elements, all Helvetica 24pt which I want to change to OCRB 18.5pt, on about 120 images)

  • How to locate and use files in Bridge

    A great deal of my photos were imported into my iMac using iPhoto and they seem to reside in the iPhoto database/library.  When I try to browse them in Bridge CS4 the iPhoto directory appears but when I click on it iPhoto opens and that's the only way to see the files, though I AM able to open them in PS CS4!  How can this be corrected?

    Easiest way is to go to user / pictures and select iPhoto library. Use right
    mouse click and from the drop down menu choose show package content. In this
    window go to the folder originals and copy the folder(s) that show here
    (usual folders with years showing) to a new folder on your HD.
    If you choose copy you will double the size of the existing originals on
    your HD but then you are still able to use iPhoto for editing etc. If you
    have no longer need for that you can choose move without copy to save disk
    space if needed.
    Point Bridge to the new folder and use the menu tools / cache build and
    export cache. This will cache your folder including all the subfolders.
    Let it do its job and then you can work with the files as normal with
    reorder by moving them to other folders or rate or what ever you want.

    Sorry but, i've never seen formula editor for altering position and size. If you know one please navigate me.
    I guess you have updated formula editor beside "Lock size and position" - if yes its not right. There is only one editor beside 4 items and editor is actually for Suppress.
    Anyways, A trick to change size a position is:
    Create 4-5 copies (as many as you expect positions) of the text object. place each at different positions,  right click, Format, Suppress and in formula editor for suppress write the formula: If your condition is true, Suppress=false, else true.
    Position will not change but user will feel; for different conditions -position is changed
    Hope this helps.

  • Replication of functional location and equipment from ECC to CRM.

    Hi Guys
    I have activated the required BADI's and adapter objects for func loc and equipment. but i am not able to replicate the funcloc and equipment from ecc to crm.

    As of SAP CRM 7.0 you can replicate functional locations from SAP ERP to SAP CRM. This function is supported as of SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0.
    In SAP CRM, functional locations are represented as object components of an installed base. The structure of functional locations is also replicated, and reflected in the installed base structure. If you replicate functional locations and pieces of equipment, the assignment of equipment to functional locations is also reflected in the installed base structure. The following replication processes are available:

  • Incorrect file date and size

    I have just resaved a large project in Photoshop CS6 as both a .psd and .jpg file but both the file date and size in Explorer and Photoshop>Open show the date and size of a previous save.  This was a bit confusing and concerning as I thought I had lost all my hard work, but on opening both files they contain the latest updates.
    Anyone else experienced this, and why is it happening.
    Thanks

    They show the same date because what your looking Window at The File Explorer UI and Photoshop Is using a Windows File Open Dialog are showing the same File date. I ask where you were seeing dates in Photoshop.  It turns out your looking at file open which is using a windows dialog.   Windows file system records date for files in it file system directories and knows where application store dates in some files formats. Like Image files metadata.  Windows UI has options to display many of these dates.  Some date may be redundant however if there is an option to show a date it will be stored in a different location.  Which also means these redundant date may be out of sync if they are updated at different times.  Which date windows shows by default I'm not exactly sure which one that it is or when it gets updated.
    If you right click in the dialog column title bar you can select many dates to be displayed some date will not be present in many file formats. Here is a screen capture of Photoshop open dialog have you even seen this.

  • Having troubles with aspect and size when exporting to CD

    I would like to export my pics to a CD so i can send them out to be printed in a lab. I'm confused with the aspect ratio when I crop them i know I have to lock the aspect but should I keep it on Original? Also i'm wondering when it comes to export them what size should I be placing if I want to print all sizes. like some 8x10 and some 4x6 and so on. I'm working with Lightroom 3. Thanks in advance : )

    I'm confused with the aspect ratio when I crop them i know I have to lock the aspect but should I keep it on Original? Also i'm wondering when it comes to export them what size should I be placing if I want to print all sizes.
    The crop aspect lock only comes into play while you are actively resizing the crop boundary. LR always works in a freehand manner, except that if the ratio is locked, adjusting the crop frame is allowed to alter its size and location and angle - but not its shape. If the ratio is not locked, you will be changing the crop shape freely if/when you drag the corner or edge handles around. The rest of the time, the lock makes no difference; and it is just as possible BTW to lock a random freehand aspect ratio, as it is to lock one of the standard preset ones.
    If you are uploading an exported copy for printing, you could simply upload a JPG made at the original resolution (as cropped for composition and angle) - that is, unchecking the whole resizing section of the Export dialog - and give the printer instructions as to how large the various prints are to be. Or I suppose, you could resize to the largest of the sizes that you require, but you will then need to negotiate a pixels-per-inch "resolution" setting that will be appropriate - since, when resizing to a page size, this figure governs the pixel content of the file produced.
    I would suggest that in the case of an export without resizing, where a generous quantity of pixels are included for the sorts of page sizes mentioned, you will likely not see any discernible printed benefit from setting the highest JPG quality setting for your export, but will be fine with around quality 6 to 8 - which brings the file sizes down significantly. Most often, printing services will presume that you have selected sRGB colourspace for your export, unless something different has been pre-agreed.

  • The Control Panel (top bar) no longer shows the location or size of an object when I select an object using the black arrow.

    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.

    2:  Duplicates!  Holy duplicates!  The first time I did an upload in iPhoto it uploaded everything in triplet.  The second time I did an upload, it attempted to upload in double but I selected only one of each.  How do I get it to not do this at all?  Why would I want duplicate photos in the first place?

    1. How the files are stored has nothing to do with the OS you're on. Obviously, the last version of iPhoto you had was v6 or earlier.
    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    Want to look inside?
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Standard Warning:
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Rendering location and text

    Hi
    I am rendering village locations using marker style and text style. I am using mapviewer11ea.Following is the xml format of this.
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
    <styling_rules>
    <rule column="MSLINK">
    <features style="M.MAJOR_VILLAGES"> </features>
    <label column="NAME" style="T.MAJOR_VILLAGES"> 1 </label>
    </rule>
    </styling_rules>
    Now it renders village location and village name without any problem. For identifying feature [getting informtion of selected village] I need to hilite this location and place marker where the mouse has clicked. For placing marker i am using mapviewer.addPointFeature(...) and for hiliting the selected village I am using mapViewer.addJDBCTheme(...) methods. But in the both the cases the text[village name] will go off [ text will disappear].
    Please give me suggession to solve this
    Thnaks,
    Sujnan

    Hi,
    Thanks for replay.
    Here is my addPointFeature and addJDBCTheme methods
    Point2D pt = mapViewer.getUserPoint(intScreenX, intScreenY);
    mapViewer.addPointFeature(pt.getX(), pt.getY(), 81993, M.CYAN PIN, null, null, null);
    where intScreenX, intScreenY are screen coordinates.
    and addJDBCTheme method is
    mapViewer.addJDBCTheme("MapDataSource", "Hilite", strQuery, "geom", "81993", "M.HILITE_POINT" , null, null, false);
    Xml style definition for M.HILITE_POINT is
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
    <svg height="1in" width="1in">
    <desc/>
    <g class="marker" style="stroke:#FFCC00;fill:#FFFF33;width:8;height:8;font-family:Dialog;font-size:12;font-fill:#FF0000;text-offset-x:10;text-offset-y:10">
    <circle cx="0" cy="0" r="8.0"/>
    </g>
    </svg>
    Thanks,

  • The app store says lion is installed. However it is not on my computer despite running and apparently successfully installing the downloaded package

    The app store says lion is installed. However it is not on my computer despite running and apparently successfully installing the downloaded package. Any thoughts? Obviously I cant download it again as the app store says it is installed. I cannot find the package on my mac, when I try and search for it!!

    Hi Hugh,
    Once you download Lion from the app store you still have to install it.  Its located in your Applications directory.
