Moving hyperlinked objects

How does one move objects that have hyperlinks enabled, without disabling this function first?
Cheers,
Reb

Apologies - I misread your post. I took it that you wanted to move an object that had a hyperlink (what I took to be a 'hyperlinked object' as in your title), not move an object where hyperlinks are all enabled within iWeb.
Yes, as Will says, you need to disable the option first before you can move them, otherwise you end up selecting them!

Problem with seting action method to a Hyperlink object

Hi there,
as the subject says, I have a problem wih setting the action method of a Hyperlink object. Here is how the program is organized:
I have an external bean which generates an ArrayList of Hyperlink objects. In the backing bean of my web page I call a method from the above mentioned external bean to generate the list of hyperlink objects. After that in the page bean I insert the hyperlink objects in GridPanel component. So far everything works fine, but the action method of the Hyperlink objects is not called and I can't understant why.
Here is how I add the objects to the GridPanel component:
private void populateGridPanel()
        Hyperlink hyper;
        for(int i=0; i< checkboxList.size(); i++)
                hyper = (Hyperlink) hyperlinkList.get(i);
                vehicleGridPanel.getChildren().add(hyper);
    }All properties of the Hyperlink objects are set in the external bean not in the page bean, here is how:
//action method executed when the hyperlink is clicked
MethodBinding mb = (MethodBinding) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createMethodBinding("#{Page1.hyperlink_action}", null);
veHyperlink.setAction(mb);The populateGridPanel() method is called in the init() method of the page bean, after the initialization of all other components.
An interesting fact is that if I manually drag-n-drop a hyperlink object to my page and programatically set its action method with the code above everything works fine. But using the same code for the dynamically generated hyperlink objects inserted in the grid panel doesn't work.
Any kind of help is highly appreciated.
Thanks!

I got this use case to work as follows:
1. Drag a Grid Panel and set its columns property to 1.
2. Drag a Message Group.
3. Use the following code in Page1:
public void prerender() {
populateGridPanel();
private void populateGridPanel() {
if (gridPanel1.getChildren().size() > 0) {return;}
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
Hyperlink veHyperlink = new Hyperlink();
//action method executed when the hyperlink is clicked
MethodBinding mb = (MethodBinding) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createMethodBinding("#{Page1.hyperlink_action}", null);
veHyperlink.setAction(mb);
veHyperlink.setText("dynamic hyperlink " + i);
veHyperlink.setId("dynamicHyperlink" + i);
gridPanel1.getChildren().add(veHyperlink);
public void hyperlink_action() {
info("Yup it worked at: " + new java.util.Date());
4. Fix imports, Run, and then click on the hyperlinks.

Checks to be done before moving the objects from DEvV to PROD systems

Hi,
Please provide the standard methods and checks to be done in the transport requests before moving the objects from DEv to PROD.
Please help us here.

In se10 find your request and
Upper left corner - Request\task -> Complete check -> Object (syntax check) and Check Request Consistency.
This you can do for your request and all the tasks included in your request.
Note: Transport may still fail due to numerous reason (i.e) not all the objects needed are collected in the request,
but at atleast it gives some assurance that objects are not blocked in other requests etc...

Moving an object from $tmp

Hi Experts,
Suppose i saved an object by mistake in $tmp. How to move this object to quality.
plz give solution for this

Hi Lokesh,
Well everybody said the right thing i.e. if you want to transport any object from $tmp,you have to go to se38 and than-
1.Click on Goto->Object Directory Entry.
2.Click on change i.e. pencil icon and then,
3.Give your package name in the package option.
4.After that you are provided one transport request by the system.
5.Click on continue.
Through this way you can make the object transportable.
But may be sometimes you want one object only local i.e. not to transport($tmp),and mistakenly you make that object transportable.So in order to make it again local,you have to do following things:
1.Go to se09 or se10.
2.Display all the transport request made by you.
3.Now find your transport request in all these.
4.After that you find your program name in them.
5.Now delete that program.
6.After that you go to se38 and do the same procedure as do in your solution i.e. moving a object from $tmp.
7.Give your package name here as $tmp.
Through this way you can again make a object local.
If you don't follow the steps 1-5 than you are not able to make a object loacl again,because the object is locked by the transport request.
Regards.

Moving selected objects up and down with keyboard is automaticly applying a colour fill.

Hi,
My InDesign is strangely applying a colour fill when i move an objects up or down using the directional arrow in my keyboard. If the colour pallet is open. Nudging an object up makes the pallet disappear on the first press. It then reappears on the second press while filling the object (text frame) with black. This is instensly frustrating. How can I stop this? Suggestions would be very appreciated.
I have already reset the preferences.
Cheers,

Thanks for your reply.
I fixed the problem by replacing the keyboard!

I have to ask if you reset the prefs uing one of the methods in this thread: Replace Your Preferences If not, there's a good chance you left out one of the files, so please try again using one of the listed methods. And please tell us the OS and your version of ID, including the patch level. Obviously this is not normal behavior. It sounds as if the Swatches panel has focus when you are pressing the arrow keys.

Illustrator crashes after moving an object

On the first day everything was working fine, but now I have a problem moving an object. Every time I am moving an object with the cursor the illustrator crashes. HELP!!!!
(a friend told me it's graphic card problem, but still I can't find what causes the problem)

sokiN,
The issue seems to be caused by the Chrome Pushbullet extension, see this post #3 by Matt with the solution:

Moving multiple objects in a Finder window

Try a simple experiment in Tiger (10.4): in a Finder window with the icon view + snap to grid ON, select multiple grouped objects (e.g. 10-20) and move them to a different place in the same window.
They will not stay grouped but be sometimes dispersed in a random way or even move to places belonging to different grids.
Another experiment is to move a single object from one window into another one: this changes the grid of the second window from time to time.
This is extremely annoying when you want to keep the icons ordered.
This bug existed also in Panther.
I'm convinced it will exist in the next Mac OS X release. Do you bet ?

Hi DarkStar,
In my case there are no other major application running when I see the moving multiple objects bug in the Finder. And (as for econupmac) the problem is intermittent.
I've checked the bug again and realize that it appears mostly when I'm moving a group of objects belonging to different columns. Here is what I did:
Create a folder with the 'Snap to grid' option ON and 'Icon size 16x16'. Set its View as Icon. Load this folder with 30 files and organize them into 3 groups of 10 files side by side. Enlarge the size of the folder to have plenty space by maneuver.
Now select the 5 bottom files of the middle column and move them gently around, then release them. The 'Snap to grid' feature will work fine and the files will be shifted to the nearest grid position... except when the files will stay in the middle of nowhere (you might need to do it several times until it happens).
THIS IS THE APPLE BUG.
This bug is more easily seen when a group of objects belonging to 2 adjacent columns is moved. Check this on a nicely arranged folder : Select the 5 bottom files of the middle column and the 5 bottom files of the right column and move them slightly. I bet that they will not stick to the grid. This will create a second grid which corrupts the folder. The next time you'll move around objects in this folder you'll see how crazy the folder behaves.

Transform handles are moving the object and not scaling.

I've been running into trouble with the transform handles on objects moving the object instead of scaling/stretching the object. It seems to happen on the bottom and right sides vs the top and left sides. When I have the mouse over the handle it shows the scaling icon, but when I press the mouse it turns into the black selection arrow. Is anyone else experiencing this and know how to fix it?

kjredin,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

Error Cannot join on Memo,OLE,od Hyperlink object

Hi,
I made the data migration from access to Oracle. I use access forms and ODBC to connect with Oracle. When I execute queries in access, this error occur: "Cannot join on Memo,OLE,od Hyperlink object table1.column=table2.column". Any ides how to solve this?

What are your versions of Oracle, MS Access and SQL Developer?
I don't know the type "note" in MS Access, my version of Access is 2000 and let me create a field of type Memo but not a field of type Note. Is that the same, my Access knowledge is not so deep?
A text field is converted to varchar2(50 char), and a memo field is converted to CLOB, but that depends on the charset setting of the Oracle database, mine is UTF8, and yours?

Problem selecting and dragging or moving an object with hyperlink activated

Hei!
It is impossible to select or move normally an object, for instance a photo, which contains an activated link, and that's very annoying.
First: Let's say I have that object on the top of the page and I want to put it lower, or maybe cut it and paste it somewhere else. First I need to select it, but as soon as the mouse is on top of it, the mouse over activates and opens a webpage to the designated link.
Second: before I do anything with it, I need to select the object and the only way to do it is by drawing a selection rectangle, which gives me the problem of needing to avoid surrounding objects which I don't want to select. If I don't have space enough, I have to let them get selected together with the desired object, and then unselect using the command key + mouse click.
Third: if I want to move it, i can only do it with the arrow keys, because if I use the mouse, I get back to first problem. So it's that, or disabling the hyperlink, move the object normally, and putting the hyperlink on again. None of it very practical.
If I actually want to cut the object and paste it in another page of the site, after I went through first and second problem, I can cut normally the object, got to the desired page and paste it there. If once there I still need to move the object to place it where I want, I end up in third problem anyways.
Is there any way to avoid this trouble?
Thanks

Thanks Mark, but you answered what I already included within my question. I wrote "So it's that, or disabling the hyperlink, move the object normally, and putting the hyperlink on again"
With that, to "Uncheck the "Make hyperlinks active" you need to first select the object, and you end up back to the first and second problem I wrote.

Issue with moving grouped objects in Captivate 8

Hi,
I use grouping of objects a lot and Imake extensive use of the arrow keys to move objects and / or groups around a slide. When moving groups in Captivate 8.1, however, and this never happened in CPT 6 or 7, Captivate does the action twice.
So when selecting the group of objects and pressing the arrow keys, it moves the groups 2 pixels at a time instead of just the one. Likewise, when pressing both Shoft and an arrow key, it moves the group 20 pixels.
To add to the fun, when you select both a group of objects and a single object on the slide, the arrow-move moves the group twice but the single object only once. Jolly good fun...
This is really annoying, so if anyone has a solution for this? Is this a bug or is it a setting I should be aware of? If it is not a bug but an actual new feature of Captivate, I would love to know the reasoning behind it, but for me, it rather defies any logic right now :-)
Obviously, I figured out the workaround of 5 times the arrow key to move a group 10 pixels, but it is now impossible to move the group 1 pixel using the arrow key.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Jan.

It is a known bug, I have logged it already, please do the same. Earlier on this happened also for individual objects (prerelease), now this annoying behavior is only for groups.

I need better code for moving an object

I'm currently using an older code to move objects around where the code is on the object being moved. I'd like to swap it out for code that isn't on the object, but I'm not too sure what it should be. Anyway, this is what I have right now:
_global.speed=10
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
     if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
          this._x -= speed;
          if(this._currentframe==1){
               this.gotoAndPlay("walkLeft");
     if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
          this._x += speed;
          if(this._currentframe==1){
               this.gotoAndPlay("walkRight");
     if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
          this._y -= speed;
          if(this._currentframe==1){
               this.gotoAndPlay("walkUp");
     if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
          this._y += speed;
          if(this._currentframe==1){
               this.gotoAndPlay("walkDown");
     if (! Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) && !Key.isDown(Key.UP) && !Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && !Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
          this.gotoAndStop (1);
     if(_parent.border.hitTest(_x+(_width/2),_y,true)){
          this._x -= speed;
     if(_parent.border.hitTest(_x-(_width/2),_y,true)){
          this._x += speed;
     if(_parent.border.hitTest(_x,_y+(_height/2),true)){
          this._y -= speed;
     if(_parent.border.hitTest(_x,_y-(_height/2),true)){
          this._y += speed;
So, how would I move this off the object and onto a frame? Is there a better way to handle the hitTest? How do I make it so that the object keeps facing in the direction it was moving when you stop pressing the arrow key?

use something like the following where mc is your person movieclip:
var speed:Number=10;
this.onEnterFrame=loopF;
function loopF() {
    if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
        mc._x -= speed;
        if (mc._currentframe == 1) {
            mc.gotoAndPlay("walkLeft");
    if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
        mc._x += speed;
        if (mc._currentframe == 1) {
            mc.gotoAndPlay("walkRight");
    if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
        mc._y -= speed;
        if (mc._currentframe == 1) {
            mc.gotoAndPlay("walkUp");
    if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
        mc._y += speed;
        if (mc._currentframe == 1) {
            mc.gotoAndPlay("walkDown");
    if (!Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) && !Key.isDown(Key.UP) && !Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && !Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
        mc.gotoAndStop(1);
    if (border.hitTest(mc._x+(mc._width/2), mc._y, true)) {
        mc._x -= speed;
    if (border.hitTest(mc._x-(mc._width/2), mc._y, true)) {
        mc._x += speed;
    if (border.hitTest(mc._x, mc._y+(mc._height/2), true)) {
        mc._y -= speed;
    if (.border.hitTest(mc._x, mc._y-(mc._height/2), true)) {
        mc._y += speed;

Moving text entered into a PDF without moving other objects

Sometimes, I add text to a pdf through the following:
-         Click Tools to the top right of Acrobat, beneath the X.
-         Under Content | Edit Text & Objects, select Edit Document Text.
-         Hold down ctrl before you place the cursor on the pdf.
Often, the text is not placed in the correct spot. To move it, I go to Tools | Content | Edit Object and then select the text and move it. However, this often causes other text in the document to shift along with the text that I entered. It seems somehow the text I entered gets linked to other text and I can either move all or none of it. How can I get only the text that I just entered to shift without getting other text to shift with it?

Test Screen Name: I think Add or Edit Text Box might be more practical than Edit Document Text if I need to move the text after I add it. With Add or Edit Text Box, moving the text box does not cause other elements to move, which is unlike what happens when I add text via Edit Document Text.
I think the PDF creator needs to allow the option for users to use the Forms Tool. This PDF does not have form fields. As for adding text via Comments, Add stick note creates a conspicuous text box that I want to avoid, as does Insert text under Comment | Annotations.
So Add or Edit Text Box appears to be the best option.
I believe the sender expects me to print this PDF, handwrite my entries and then scan and email it back to him. But I am trying to find ways to save time, paper and ink by adding text without printing this PDF and the many other PDFs that I must routinely fill out.

Problems moving an object with the selection tool

Im working on CS2 and since last week I have a problem moving objects with the selection tool: To move the object I am obligate to select the object first, and then click at the edge/stroke of the object to drag it. Before that I could move the objects just by selecting somewhere in the object and then just drag it to some other place in one step. I think I maybe changed something in the general preferences....

Ho thanks a lot Kurt!!!!! Indeed, that was the problem!!! Finally I can work normally again.... (the joker was me...but not on purpose)
Thanks again!

Moving an object in the stage

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have an
object that is serving as a background for a flash website. The
background object (a table) moves and rotates around when clicked,
exposing different parts of the table on the stage when the user
clicks.
Here is as close an example as I can find:
http://www.vermeersch.ca/
My problem is when i want to transition between two points on
the table, the table has to rotate and move.. and by just using a
motion tween between the two points results in the table rotating
off the stage for a few frames (thus exposing the background and
making it look really cheezy). I was trying my hand at using motion
guides, but can't do it with any accuracy.
So, my question is: Is there a way to guide an object as it
rotates and moves so that it doesn't move off screen? (there is
plenty of room on the table if i can just guide its path through
the 2 second transition). Thanks for any support.

http://www.personal.psu.edu/jwc5062/
So far you can't really see it moving off the stage.. but the
beginning is awkward because i had to zoom in really tight before i
could rotate to avoid the problem. I can't transition between
"resume" and "portfolio" without it moving off the stage for half
the transition.
Thanks for the help
