Modal Alert waiting to user click

Hi,
I used to programm InDesign plugins in C++. There was modal Alert with YES/NO buttons, which stops executing till user presses one of these buttons.
Now to my question. I know that such Alert doesn't exist here in Flex. Flex shows Alert and continues with executing following code. I know there is closeHandleFunction which I should use to handle it. ActionScript is event driven language and we should use ActionScript with this respect.So my question is more hypotetical perhaps. Is hugely bad idea to create such MyAlert class which would wait in loop till user press button? You know sometimes it would be handy to have such Alert.
Thanks,
//pyso

The only way o do this is to stop execution yourself
An idea that pops to mind now is that you have a global var allowExecution:Boolean=true;
When you open an Alert window you set it to false.
When you close the Alert Window, in the closeHandler function, set it to true again.
In the other functions or actions in the application, do something like
if(allowExecution) or while(allowExecution) etc.
Hope this helps.

Pause for user click missing after Seamless Tabbing fix.

I am upgrading a project from Captivate 5.0 to 5.5. Two of the lessons that worked fine in 5.0 have problems in 5.5. Both lessons use the Tab key to move from field to field in a data row and then the Enter key to calculate at the end of the row. This worked fine in 5.0. In 5.5, pressing Tab caused jump to browser address window. I searched blog and found following solution to add:    so.addParam(seamlessTabbing:, :false:);        to the htm file generated when publishing the file. This is not a desirable solution for long term course maintenance, but it did work. Unfortunately a new problem then appeared. The project moved ahead without waiting for user input in the simulation exercises.
For slides with click boxes using Tab shortcut key and no other interactive objects, the movie just skipped ahead without waiting for user click. I would like the project to pause until the user presses the Tab key and then move to the next slide. The properties for the click boxes are:
Action:
On success: Go to the next slide
Attempts: Infinite
Allow mouse click - yes
Shortcut: Tab
Options:
Captions: Failure only
Others: Pause for Success/Failure Captions and Pause project until user clicks
Timing:
Display for: Rest of slide
Appear after 0 seconds   (I have played around with this setting, but it does not seem to make a difference.)
For slides with Text Entry, the failure captions display before the user has a chance to input anything. Sometimes the captions flash several times at random. I would like the failure captions to only display when the user enters an answer that does not match the stored answers. The properties for the text entry boxes are:
General:
Default text: blank
Retain Text - checked
Validate User Input - checked
Var Associated: Text Entry Box ## (## changes from slide to slide)
On Focus Lost: No action
Action:
On Success: Go to the next slide
Attempts: Infinite
Shortcut: Tab
Options:
Captions: Failure only
Others: Pause for Success/Failure Captions
Timing:
Display For: Rest of slide
Appear after: 0.5 sec.
Pause After: 1 sec
Transition: No Transition
To test whether it was something I was doing in the editing, I went back to the original 5.0 version of the lesson and imported into 5.5 again and published without doing any editing. The lessons that worked fine in 5.0 did not work in 5.5. Then I tried replacing all the click boxes with new ones created in 5.5. That did not work. I tried adjusting the timing. That did not work. For the text entry boxes, I tried using Show Button, creating transparent button with Tab shortcut. That did not work. Several of these suggestions were ones that I found elsewhere in the Blog with similar but not identical problems. I never found a problem that combined the seamlessTabbing with the missed pauses.
I am puzzled and frustrated that these lessons that worked fine in 5.0 don't work in 5.5. Our primary edit is only to update the screen images and add a few new fields. I would often reposition an object on the slide, but not change its properties. Since most of the lessons are working fine in 5.5 and only these two that heavily use the Tab key are not working in 5.5. I don't really have the option of going back to 5.0. I need to put them in an aggregator and they all need to be the same version.
Is there a patch or a quick fix? Also, can the patch to the htm file be built in or is that what is causing the problem? For future course maintenance, it will be complicated to have to treat these two lessons specially. Also, we usually link to the swf file and not the htm file. Our users often use browsers other than Internet Explorer.
Any suggestions?   Thanks in advance.

It would seem Intego Virus Barrier X6 has an intermittent habit of putting the IP address of Apple TV into the Blocked Addresses list despite having checked the 'Trust Apple TV' box and inputting the address into the Trusted Addresses list. Over the course of less than a year this has occurred approximately 4 times to me. My last variation on getting to the root of the problem was to lock the settings with the padlock. I will monitor the situation and should it happen one more time will notify Intego of this 'bug'.

Is it possible to display an Alert when user clicks on the X on the browser

Hi
Is it possible to display an Alert when user clicks on the X on the browser.I saw some threads regarding this mentioning about js.I want to do this ins the iProcurement module and dont wnat to make changes to each and every page.
isn't there any global setup which would help to achive this?

Are you talking about Windows close X. If yes, then to my knowledge there is nothing in OA Framework to handle it. You can check if it can be handled using javascripts.

How to stop the Flex application when user clicks on Cancel button from JS-confirm message?

Hi All,
I use the next code when a user clicks on a link:
private function clickHandler():void
      ExternalInterface.call('confirm', 'Of course you want to go to the Adobe forums!');
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://forums.adobe.com'), '_self');
This will show up the javascript confimation box. But when the cancel-button is clicked, the user goes straightly to http://forums.adobe.com...
How to stop Flex performing the next code when a user clicks on the Cancel button?
Or, how to catch which button is clicked by a user in Flex?
Thanks!

I agree with Mr. Hall that using mx.controls.Alert in Flex may be a better route.
Show the Alert like this:
// show an alert with a question and yes and no choices
Alert.show( "Would you like to go to the Adobe Forums?", "Question",
     Alert.YES | Alert.NO, this, closeHandler, null, Alert.YES );
Then handle the response in the closeHandler() function:
protected function closeHandler( closeEvent:CloseEvent ):void
if( event.detail == Alert.YES )
     navigateToURL( new URLRequest('http://forums.adobe.com'), '_self' );
else if( event.detail == Alert.NO )
     // they chose no
The following documentation on Alerts may be helpful:

Is there a way to force firefox to send ajax-request when user clicks on a link and redirect occurs?

I'm trying to send ajax-request with web-analytics data when user clicks on a link. But Firefox cancels the request and moves to the link location. Sync requests or waiting for response is not an option because performance is critical.

Correct me if I'm wrong here:
<code>jQuery.data()</code> saves the <code>{"foo": "bar"}</code> JSON object to variable <code>data</code>, and then the <code>s.tl()</code> call sends <code>data</code> to the server, right?
You could use jQuery's [http://api.jquery.com/event.preventDefault/ <code>event.preventDefault()</code>] method to stop the browser from automatically following the link on click. You could wait until the Ajax request was finished before following the link.
<hr>
I hope that solved your problem!
<i>If it did, would you please choose this answer as your solution? It would help other Firefox users to find help on the forums faster and more efficiently. Thanks!</i>
And of course, feel free to post back if you need more help!
Happy browsing!

Wait for user input in middle of method

I have a method in the middle of which I want to give the user a chance to click one of several Buttons. Here is the basic design of the method:
Private Sub MyMethod()
'Code before I need extra input
'This is where I want to wait for the user to click a Button
'This is where I will be using the results from the clicked Button
'The waiting for input and using the results will happen multiple times inside a loop
End Sub
The code is in a loop, so exiting the method and putting the rest of the code in the Button handler would not be appropriate. How can I ask the user for input and then return that input to the method where I left? I seem to be tempted to use some kind of async
method, but since the input will be coming from the user (not another method), that doesn't seem like it would be right (but I don't have a huge amount of experience with async, so I could be wrong about that). Can anybody help me? Thanks.
Nathan Sokalski [email protected] http://www.nathansokalski.com/

Hi Nathan,
You're on the right track: you'll need to await an Async function to put a delay in the middle of your method. The button click will notify the async function to finish.
You could write a custom function which returns a Task and waits for the notification from the button:
Task WaitForButtonClickAsync()
// wait for button click
and then await that in your main function:
async void BigNastyFunction()
await WaitForButtonClickAsync();
The next question is how to let the button click notify WaitForButtonClickAsync to return.
We could spin up a worker thread and have it block waiting on a notification, but there is no need to complicate things like that: WaitForButtonClickAsync can just return
Task.Delay(timeout, cancellation token) and then when the button click handler fires it can cancel the delay.
See
Asynchronous Programming with Async and Await and
Async Cancellation: Bridging between the .NET Framework and the Windows Runtime for more information on cancelling a task.

Alerts For 'Uninvited' Users Outlook 2010

Hi, one of our teams uses a shared Outlook calendar for tracking changes to systems (kind of a change diary), and would like for alerts for this shared calendar to notify them of upcoming changes. However because this calendar has other teams adding to it,
they may not know about these appointments. Is there a setting somewhere where the team (or a specified DL) can be notified via an alert/reminder without having to add each member of the team into the calendar appointment?
Please let me know if you need any additional info.
Thanks.

Hi,
What’s your Shared Outlook Calendar? Do you mean it is a Calendar for a shared mailbox?
Generally, if the user directly creates items in the shared calendar without sending out any invitations, there would be no reminders or alerts for other users or attendees.
Personal suggestion, we can try the following method as a workaround:
1. Give a user (Winnie) mailbox full access permission to shared mailbox:
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity SharedMailbox -User Winnie -AccessRights FullAccess
2. Setup a new Outlook profile for Shared mailbox with Winnie’s account information (name and password).
3. In the shared mailbox Outlook profile, set delegates for it: Click File > Account Settings > Delegate Access. Add security groups (Team1 and Team2) as delegate and give them
Editor calendar permissions and check “Delegate receive copies of meeting-related messages send to me”.
4. Click OK to finish the settings.
Then if any user sends a meeting request to Shared mailbox, the request would also be forwarded to the members in Team1 and Team2. Please note the following points:
1. Please send meeting requests to the shared calendar instead of directly creating items on it.
2. Disadvantage 1: All team members can receive copies of meeting-related messages but every member can approve (Accepted or Declined) for this meeting request.
3. Disadvantage 2: The team member can receive the meeting copies once there is any user sending a request to shared calendar. But there is no Reminder popped-up automatically before the meeting happening.

Modal alert with multiple windows?

Has anyone been successful in building a modal alert when they have multiple windows opened? Is it possible?

I have a flex application running multiple windows. I would like to show an alert which would prevent the user from doing anything in the application until the Alert is acknowledged. The mx.controls.Alert class can only be modal to a single window and not the entire application.
I have found this, I am going to give it a shot and see how it goes: http://labs.flexperiments.nl/a-real-native-alert-for-flex-air/

How to make a slide wait until user has answered a question correctly, even after activating a smartshape?

Background:
I have created a quiz in which the user must answer each question correctly before proceeding to the next slide. This is what I did:
Set preferences to Settings > Required > Answer All - The user must answer every question to continue
Set the number of attempts on the question level to Infinite
Made the Next button invisible and disabled the playbar
This way, the user can only proceed to the next question slide with the Submit process – and, since attempts are infinite, that means only after successfully answering the question.
Current goal:
I want the user to be able to click on a prompt for a hint. To set this up, I did the following:
Created a smartshape labeled “click_for_hint” displaying text that says, “Click here for a hint”
Created a smartshape labeled “hint” displaying text hint
Set “click_for_hint” to show “hint” on success
Now, when the user clicks on the text that says, “Click here for a hint,” the hint pops up. So, that works – awesome! However, once the hint is activated, I would like for the user to be able to continue infinite attempts until successfully answering the question… and only then, after answering correctly, proceed to the next slide.
The problem:
If the user has submitted one or more incorrect answers and then activates the hint, the slide no longer waits until the user has answered the question correctly. Instead, it automatically resumes playing, proceeding to the next slide. I tried setting the smartshape “hint” to pause on success, but that did not work.
Is there a way to make the slide wait until the question is answered correctly before proceeding to the next slide, even after the hint has been activated?

Are you aware of the fact that your Required setting can cause problems, blocking the user? It is also totally unnecessary, because you have infinite attempts on question level, and did hide the Next button (hope you don't need Review, otherwise I would recommend not to hide that button but to drag it under the Clear button: Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog)
The hint problem is linked with the fact that a simple action will release the playhead. I would like to see the timeline of the slide, to compare the pausing points of the shape button and the question slide. And maybe this blog post can also clarify difference between simple/advanced: Why choose Standard over Simple action? - Captivate blog
As for shape buttons on question slides: Buttons on Question/Score Slides in Captivate 6? - Captivate blog

Keys don't register until user clicks

I've created a game using AIR for Android. I added support for Xperia with it's dPad. It does register the dPad, but only after the user clicks on the screen.
Any idea why this is happening? How can I have it automatically start registering keystrokes from the dPad without having the user touch the screen?
John

None seem to be visually stuck. I did try to press all letter/symbol keys to see which ones are working.
I'll try all keys tonight.
Lenovo support didn't have a solution either, they said the same thing send it for a replacement.
I didn't get any of the other issues that some people are having so I'm reluctant to send it away and wait for a few month to get a replacement

Alert based on user defined query

Hi
I have defined user defined field U_Jobnumber.I need to stop /inform user if user is trying to enter the same u_Jonbnumber again .This is being done at sales order (header level)
Can you please help me to provide solution
(Points will be awarded based on solution or advice )
Thank you
Bishal

Hi Bishal,
Rather than using an alert, you could put validation code in the SBO_SP_TransactionNotification stored procedure to check for the same job number before the document is added. This is a permitted solution as SAP allow users to add their own sql code to this proc (provided it's not inserting or updating data in SBO system tables).
To set up this solution (on a test system):
1) Open SQL Studio Management
2) In the Object Explorer expand the company database, expand Programmability and Stored Procedures
3) Right-click the SBO_SP_TransactionNotification stored procedure and choose Modify. This will create an update script in the main window.
4) Look for the following section in the script:
--     ADD     YOUR     CODE     HERE
5) Underneath the above section, paste the following code:
if @OBJECT_TYPE = '17' and @TRANSACTION_TYPE in ('U', 'A')
     if exists(select DocEntry from ORDR where DocEntry <> cast(@LIST_OF_COLS_VAL_TAB_DEL as int)
                    and U_Jobnumber is not null and U_Jobnumber <> ''
                    and U_Jobnumber = (select U_Jobnumber from ORDR where DocEntry = cast(@LIST_OF_COLS_VAL_TAB_DEL as int)) )
          begin
               set @ERROR = '9999' -- Set your own error code here
               set @ERROR_MESSAGE = 'The Job Number entered has already been used on a previous sales order.'
          end
6) Click on Execute and you should get a message stating that the update was successful
7) Test adding a new sales order
The above script will raise an error when the user clicks on Add if a job number has been specified on the sales order and that number has already been used. It will not check if a job number has not been specified
Kind Regards,
Owen

Thank you for your help, but I believe my questions remains unanswered -- mainly, because my English isn't the good.
Here's what I am asking:
1. I need something that is animated that blinks or flashes to alert the viewer to scroll down the page. I would put the wording: Scroll Down for more (and then an arrow blinks or gently moves up and down to alert the user to move down).
2. is there a way that the entire homepage on it's own moves downward?
Sorry for my poor English.
