Need help with XML text

I'm trying to load in XML text. I'm looking for an efficient
method of doing so.
Ideally, I'd like the text to fade in and out with the image.
Maybe adding a subtle animation/movement to the text box would be
nice. Perhaps a MC that plays intervals of movement with a dynamic
text box... i just don't know how to do it.

start simple and build. check the xml class so you can see
how to create a simple xml file, load it and parse its contents.
then progress step-wise towards your project.

I have my post dont want to duplicate it

The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
[Reference]
Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.

Hi Sarar2333! Let's get your text tones working again!
Here's a link with instructions how to enable and change your alert sounds for your text/notification settings on your iPhone 4S: http://vz.to/1stiF8a. You can ensure text tones are enabled by selecting a tone in the "Text Tone" setting. Let me know how that works out for you. Thanks!

I have below suggestions:
1. Please use code option given in message editor toolbar for posting any formatted content like XML, Java code snippet etc.
2. replace & in your source XML with _& a m p ;_ (Without spaces, I have put spaces to make it visible here).
3. I have modified your XSLT according output XML you have given. I am not sure what you want to do with some elements like , , <var> etc. change below XSLT as you require for these elements.
Modified XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

Need help with XML delay URGENT!!!

Hi i need help making a flash movie to load everything from
xml. It has to load text, images and flv, but, it has to load them
and end them at the time said in the xml. So flash loads and
unloade the text or image or video at the time specified in the
XML! PLEASE HELP I NEED THIS DONE TODAY!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Contact me by msn [email protected] or send mail or
reply here!!

It was probably a little unclear initially (no offence
intended ) whether your problem was with getting the data from XML
or with the sequencing aspect. I assume that its the sequencing
aspect based on your recent reply.
So if it was me I would parse the loaded info into Date
objects for the load and remove times and have this information
handled by some sort of sequencing code.
At its simplest, you could compare the xml-derived date/times
for load/unload with the current system date/time and use a
setInterval function to initiate the load after the calculated
difference in milliseconds has passed. Similar for the removeclip
timing.

Need help with xml video gallery

Hello everyone
I recently bought a xml video gallery. I'm loading the movie externally into another movie. When the xml gallery loads, it cancels all sounds.
I need to figure out where in the actionscription can i reverse the cancellation of sounds. Can anyone help? if possible, I can email, whomever is willing to help, the xml gallery to see if theres another reason the sound is being canceled.
Also, the sound of the gallery doesn't work til you click the volume scroller.

Need help with automating text import/pasting/macro between Photoshop and Excel

Hey everyone,
I'm working on a large project now that seems extremely daunting, but I was hoping there would be some way to automate it using either Actions or some sort of macro program. Here's the gist:
I've created a template with 24 differently sized text boxes in the photoshop image file. Each text feild has unique text that needs to be be pasted into it, which has been compiled in excel. This wouldn't be too dificult to do, except I have to recreate this image and all 24 text fields aproximately 350 times. None of the text boxes will remain static through all 350 images as text is the title, description, and demographic ratings/percentages/data for the topic of each image. I did something similar manually last year and it took me about 3, non-stop 18 hour days to complete it.
(the test template)
Can anyone think of any way I could automate this process? I'm thinking some sort of macro that copies cell 1 in excel, switches to photoshop, opens layer 1, pastes, switches back to excel, goes to cell 2, copies, back to photoshop, layer 2, pastes, etc, etc, then does a 'save as' in photoshop and revets to PS layer 1, EX cell 1 (on tab 2) to start the process all over again. I have no idea if this would work or if there is another way to do this but I would really appreciate any help or advice you guys could give. I don't have really any expreience using PS Actions or macro programs/scripts, so I may be over my head or overlooking a really simple way to do this. If there's a way to do it, I'm persistent enough to figure it out and get it working. Doesn't really matter how it gets done, I just need to fill those text boxes as best as I can and as quickly as I can.
Any help you all could give is really appreciated.

Have you read up on the Variables support in Photoshop?

Need help with cleening text during ExportAllStories (JS-CS4)

I have altered the ExportAllStories.jsx script for CS4 to export the selected TextFrame(s).
The main function are the same as in the original.
It works fine, but I need advice on how to clean the text before it gets exported to a text file.
I have tried to pass the TextFrame object myStory, as in the original script, to a function like this:
myStory = cleantext(myStory)
The function cleantext works with a text string passed to it,like this:
function cleantext(s) {
s.replace(/\u2011/g,'-');
I guess I have to extract the myStory object to a text string but haven’t succeeded yet.
Maybe the solution is to do some search and replace with GREP or other techniques?
All tips on how to proceed would be appreciated.

This is how i solved my problem.
With the help from Peter Kahrels function
function replace (f, r)
   app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = f;
   app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo =r;
   app.documents[0].changeGrep ()
And in my script I could easily do this:
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
story = app.selection[0].parentStory;
// Sample: Replace non-breaking hyphen (8209 -> \u2011) with a regular hyphen.
replace("/\u2011/g",'-');
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
And thereafter proceeding with the exporting stuff.
Thank you all contributors in this forum!

Need help with XML response to refresh document with context and prompts

I've been working with the Restful api for a few weeks now and have been able to figure out most of what I need to automate testing of our reports. However, one task that I have not been able to figure out is how to refresh a document that contains both a context and two prompts for dates.
Here is what I have tried, and what the API responds with.
1) I queried the API for this document's parameters using the following call after logging in -
headers = {:accept=>'application/xml', :content_type=>'application/xml', :x_sap_logontoken=>@token}
url = "http://our.url.net:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/12345/parameters"
RestClient.get(url, headers)
The response from the API is:
<parameters>
 <parameter dpId="DP0" type="context" optional="false">
 <id>0</id>
 <technicalName>cQuery 1</technicalName>
 <name>Select a context</name>
 <answer type="Text" constrained="true">
 <info cardinality="Single">
 <lov partial="false">
 <values>
 <value id="CTX_1">LOAN</value>
 <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
 </values>
 </lov>
 <values>
 <value id="CTX_1">LOAN</value>
 <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
 </values>
 <previous>
 <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
 </previous>
 </info>
 <values>
 <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
 </values>
 </answer>
 </parameter>
</parameters>
2) This tells me I need to supply a context, so I then replace my RestClient.get call with a RestClient.put call with the following payload:
<parameters>
 <parameter>
 <id>0</id>
 <answer>
 <values>
 <value id=\"CTX_9\"/>
 </values>
 </answer>
 </parameter>
</parameters>
3) This satisfies the context portion of the refresh. The API replies with the following response, telling me I need to answer two prompts -
<parameters>
 <parameter dpId=\"DP0\" type=\"prompt\" optional=\"false\">
 <id>1</id>
 <technicalName>psEnter value(s) for Start Date of Application Received Date</technicalName>
 <name>Enter value(s) for Start Date of Application Received Date</name>
 <answer type=\"DateTime\" constrained=\"false\">\
 <info cardinality=\"Single\"/>
 </answer>
 </parameter>
 <parameter dpId=\"DP0\" type=\"prompt\" optional=\"false\">
 <id>2</id>
 <technicalName>psEnter value for End Date of Application Received Date</technicalName>
 <name>Enter value for End Date of Application Received Date</name>\
 <answer type=\"DateTime\" constrained=\"false\">
 <info cardinality=\"Single\"/>
 </answer>
 </parameter>
</parameters>
4) Here is where I am having problems. I have tried all kinds of permutations of the below payload/response body. All I ever get from the API is a 400 - BadResponse error.
<parameters>
 <parameter>
 <id>0</id>
 <answer>
 <values>
 <value id=\"CTX_9\"/>
 </values>
 </answer>
 </parameter>
</parameters>
<parameters>
 <parameter type=\"prompt\">
 <id > 1 </ id>
 <answer type=\"DateTime\">
 <values>
 <value>2012-06-11T09:50:54.000-04:00</value>
 </values>
 </answer>
 </parameter>
 <parameter type=\"prompt\">
 <id > 2 </ id>
 <answer type=\"DateTime\">
 <values>
 <value>2014-07-11T09:50:54.967-04:00</value>
 </values>
 </answer>
 </parameter>
</parameters>
I am not very good with XML and the terminology around it, and I haven't received much training around using the Restful API other than the SDK documentation. I have a feeling there is something very basic that Im missing here. What is the correct XML needed in the response body to properly refresh the document?

If you are more confortable with JSON, Raylight supports it as well.
Best regards,
Anthony

Need help with XML structure

recommendations I
should follow.
What is preferable: using attributes that will holt the
content or rather
having xml-elements. What is easy to parce?
I would greatly appreciate any tips, help and suggestions.

I would start as simple as possible, for example with
something like
this:
<glossary>
<entry>
<term>...</term>
<explanation>...</explanation>
</entry>
<entry>
<term>...</term>
<explanation>...</explanation>
</entry>
</glossary>
Of course it also depends on what you want to do with this
structure and
if you need additional informations.

There's no real rule-of-thumb whether to use elements or
attributes.
If unsure, use elements.

Need help with optimizing text appearance when exporting video

Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. Convert a Powerpoint presentation to an MP4 (AVC) file, frame rate 30 (actually defaults to 29.97) and video bit rate of 1200kbps,using Wondershare PPT2VideoPro. (There are no actual video clips contained in the original PPT file).
2. Import the newly created MP4 video into a new project in Premeire Elements.
3. Add audio files (WAV) created by Audacity.
4. Export the final product as a video.
Here's the problem:
The text quality in the final exported film is very poor, and the screen occasionally seems to sublty flicker once and a while. I've tried multiple different settings, but all with the same result.
Can anyone offer suggestions on optimal settings for exporting the final product such that the text is as clear as possible? (The text in the MP4 file created by Wondershare looks great.)
Thanks!

One option would be to create the Text Images in Photoshop, and Save_As a PSD.
For large sets of Titles, I do the text portion in Word/WordPerfect, so I can use Spell-Check. Then in PS, I just Copy/Paste the text into an Image, where I apply all of the PS Styles that I need. Because I use PrPro for most of my NLE work, I will often do the Titles with Layered Text, and Import those as a Sequence, so that the Layers are not Flattened. This allows me to independently animate each Layer, as I need. Unfortunately, PrE does not allow one to Import the Layered PSD's, Unflattened, as it does not have Sequences.
Also note that PrE's Titler's Styles are just a starting point. Once applied, one can alter most aspects, and when they are satisfied with the changes, they can then Save the new Style and re-use it over and over. Do not forget the ability to modify those Styles.
From PowerPoint, and this depends on the version, the best that one can usually do is to Export each "slide" as a TIFF, and Import those into the NLE program.
Good luck,
Hunt

I need help with XML coding. Please reply

I recently created a podcast. I submitted it to iTunes. All was successful but the download speed was Horrible. I had about 10 people test it -- after that the ISP I use shifted my Domain to a Streaming Server. The Tech then changed the specs to my iTunes <guid>. I updated the info on iTunes, but since then no one has been able to download it from iTunes. The RSS feed on the page ( website) works, but if I type it in to an RSS feed, I am even having problems getting it to recognize it.
I feel the main problem is that the shifting of servers and changing the <guid> caused a major problem. Since my ISP and Tech rep is mainly Windows oriented, his expertise with Apple is very little. ( As is mine ).
I will insert a snippet of the code and ask for Help... I really need to fix this, because I have secured another Domain, and wish to create a new podcast.
(BTW if any one listens to any of them, I now have a mixing board and Mic.. so I am trying to better it.)

The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
[Reference]
Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.

Need help with creating text anchors with tagged text.

Can anyone tell me how to determine the correct value for a "Hyperlink Dest Index" value?
I have a script which creates a tagged text file that specifies about about 280 pages of tables (thank heavens for autoflow) , and would like to add live links between different parts. I can create a text anchor and a hyperlink to it in InDesign. The tagged text definition for the link source is simple and in-line and exports and imports nicely as tagged text. However, I see that all the link destinations, aka text anchors, are all exported at the very end of the tagged text files as global definitions, and thier location iin the document is specified by the property HyperlinkDestIndex. However, I can't figure out how to set this value progammatically. I've spent over an hour exporting links, and it sure isn't anything as obvious as character index in the story.
Any advice appreciated,
Read Roberts

Read, I'm not sure the following is going to help you. It works for external hyperlinks, but you want internal links, right? Anyway, it might give you some clues.
A funny thing: I was reviewing some script where I got links to work, and I spotted a tiny coding error. Links seemed to be defined by two separate identifiers: a "link name", which is what appears in Edit Hyperlink dialog, and a "Dest Key", which seems to be a simple increasing number. However, due to aformentioned coding error, the dest keys between the actual link and its definition were off by '1', so there was no way that ought to have matched. But it still worked! So "Dest Key" is a red herring ...
As far as I understand, it works like this (for hyperlinks): in your text, you have
HplName -- this is actually the 'title' that appears in the Hyperlink palette
HplDest -- this is the 'internal name'
DestKey. Hm. Perhaps you could omit this, per above obsvn.
CharStyleRef, the name of the auto-applied style
Hid -- seems to be always '0'
HplOff: the "offset" from this entire command to the start of the hyperlink, in InDesign characters.
HplLen: the "length" from the hyperlinked text, in InDesign characters.
and in the list of 'proper' definitions, those that appear at the very end of your file:
HplDestDfn -- the internal name again
DestKey -- see above
HplDestUrl -- finally! A real URL! (But you must escape lots of characters, such as the forward slash and colon.)
Hid -- again, always seems to be '0'.
Some of these items are perhaps optional, but experimenting with what may be left out only lead to frustration The Tagged Text guide is far from complete, as I'm sure you already knew.
As noted, some (or all) of the named items need a backslash escape for a few characters, but I can't find a definitive way to determine in advance what is 'good' and what is 'not good'.
The following script creates a Tagged Text file with a couple of working hyperlinks in it -- I don't know if this is of any help for your internal links.
var hyperlinkDest = [];
var text = "This is some text with a link [http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html] and another one [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1014617?tstart=0] in it.";
var tagtext = text.replace (/\[(.+?)\]/g, function (full, match)
 return makelink (match, 'title:'+match, match, match);
// When done processing plain text, add the destinations at the end:
tagtext += hyperlinkDest.join('');
tagFile = File(Folder.myDocuments+'/__tmp.txt');
if (tagFile.open('w') == false)
 alert ("Unable to create temporary file!");
 exit();
if (File.fs == "Windows")
 tagFile.write ("<ASCII-WIN>\n");
else
 tagFile.write ("<ASCII-MAC>\n");
tagFile.write ("<dcs:HYPERLINK=<cu:1>>\n");
 tagFile.write (tagtext);
tagFile.close();
// 'text' is the actual text that will be clickable
// 'title' is what will appear in the Hyperlinks palette
// 'name' is the internal name in the Edit Hyperlink dialog
// 'url' is the actual URL that will be linked to
function makelink (text, title, name, url)
 var destkey = hyperlinkDest.length;
 // In URL you must escape forward slashes and colons
 // .. and some other characters as well, by the way. There seems to be no list
 url = url.replace(/\//g, '\\/').replace(/:/g, '\\:');
 hyperlinkDest.push ('<HplDestDfn:=<HplDestName:'+name+'><DestKey:'+String(destkey)+'><HplDestUrl:'+url+'><Hid:0>>');
 return '<Hpl:=<HplName:'+title+'><HplDest:'+name+'><DestKey:'+String(destkey)+'><CharStyleRef:HYPERLINK><Hid:0><Brdrv:0><HplOff:0><HplLen:'+String(text.length)+'>>'+text;

Need Help with Arrays/Text

I'm trying to create a flash program that uses it's own code to send and create images. Each square has a colour and that colour gets added into the array. A black, then grey, then white is:
filecode = ["Bl", "Gr", "Wh"];
That works fine, but when I try to paste it into an Input text box it will only fill in the first part of the array.
filecode = ["Bl,Gr,Wh"];
So the program has NO idea what I want.
The only ways I can think of fixing this is by putting in 402 text boxes to suit every box...But every one of them needs a Variable Name.
Or by sending the information straight into the array. But this way you are just looking at what you just drew, and that is not at ALL practical.
Helping me with this headache will be greatly apprectiated.
FlashDrive100.

If you can explain the first part of your posting it might become a little clearer what you are trying to do and what isn't working... particularly this...
" when I try to paste it into an Input text box it will only fill in the first part of the array."
I can't speak for anyone else, but at this point, I share your file's problem... not knowing what you want.

Need Help with parsing text

Hello all, I hope this is an easy question....
I have a string similar to
<li>the latest news on my site</li>
I am currently geting a string where each new line is a new <li> from a pure http call. what I need to do is split this down into an array of strings (Yes this is my website, and no im not trying to rebrand other's work...:) ) delimeted on :
- each line needs to be a separate element within a multidimensional array
- Can't split on CrLf because further up and further down I have other entries I dont care about, so I need to use the <li></li> as indicators that they contain the information I want.
- out of each line, I need to separate them into multiple 'columns' within the array
- one for the contents of the span clas (in this case "RandomInformation"
- one element for the contents of the link (in this case my url, http://www.w2gas.com, but will be sub pages later like http://www.w2gas.com/page2.html)
- most importantly one element for the text between anchor tags (this case it is "the latest news on my site")
I tried a Regex for stripping the HTML tags out, however all I was left with was the text between anchors. I know I could do it based on character by character looping (have done that) but its terrible slow. I know there must be a way to accomplish this, however Im just too new to figure it out. (maybe?)
Thanks in advance
Lee
