Non-Standard Buttons in FLVPlayback skin

I posted this before but I don't think I explained it very
well. I'm trying to add a non-standard button to my FLVPlayback
skin, but it's not showing up. Can you add new buttons (with new
functionality) to FLVPlayback skins or can you only edit the
existing ones? This should be similar to adding a logo, does anyone
have a tutorial or anything on adding a logo to an FLVPlayback
skin?

Look
Here Edit the bar at the bottom of the Skin FLA, and add what
you want to that... unlock all layers, select all, then resize, add
a layer and put what you want. Then when selecting a skin for your
FLVPlayback component, select Custom Skin, and target it.

Why do CS4 & CS5 use a non-standard Windows GUI skin?

This has bugged me ever since I used CS4.
I have used Photoshop on a netbook, and it's really difficult to because even while maximized, the window maintains a window border. This might not seem big but on a small netbook display every pixel counts. Furthermore, if Adobe gave us an option to turn off the skin and use a standard Windows GUI customization, I could make the window border small to fit on my netbook. Right now, it ignores the settings I use.
I found a workaround in CS4 by using a program called WinPos that let me move the edges of the window off the edge of the screen so the border is not visible. This is a complicated solution, but it worked. But my company upgraded to CS5 and this workaround no longer works. No matter what I do the window "snaps" to the top edge of the screen.
The Application bar also makes CS programs difficult to use while windowed, which is helpful in certain cases. If I reach for the file, edit, object menu and click slightly too low or too high, it grabs the window and drags it around. This is non-standard windows behavior. I should have the option for a normal-looking title bar and a normal looking menu bar that integrates into Windows using the standard GUI.
I have looked at many hacks that people have tried on this forum and others, but there seems to be no way to completely turn off the application bar in all Adobe programs that use it. The Mac version allows you to turn off the Application Bar, why not allow Windows users the same convienence?
This may seem trivial to some, but it is an annoyance to a lot of people I have spoken to. The new CS Live button has also brought this design of the Application Bar to the forefront. You can turn off the CS Live button by renaming a system file, but the CS live icon is still visible in InDesign. Many of the functions of the Application bar can be found in the menus themselves, which begs the question, why do we need this redundancy?
Please, please give us a way to turn it off and make it work on all Adobe programs that use it. Or at the very least, tell me how to turn off the window snapping so I can use my WinPos workaround again.

This is a user to user forum. If you want to tell Adobe, do it here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Number of button slots for (non-standard) PhoneTemplate

Hi,
Once I create a new non-standard phone button template in the CUCM (Device > Device Settings > Phoe Button Template), the number of the buttons on the newly created seems "unpredictable" for me. Sometimes the number of the buttons are the same as on the original template, but sometimes much more.
For example, 'Standard 7965 SIP' has 6 buttons. If I create based on this template, my 'Standard 7965 SIP MyTemplate' will have 54 slots in it.
Similar: 'Standard 8961 SIP' has 5 buttons, 'Standard 8961 SIP MyTemplate' has 45.
Why? Where is this coming from?
Additional info:
I have checked the DatabaseDictionary documentation, which states :
"Before insert into PhoneTemplate, if NEW.usermodifiable = false, thenusing the NEW.tkModel, get the numButton value from TypeModel. It will contain comma-separated min, max values. Take the max value and assign to NEW.numOfButtons."
But I cannot find this 'numButton' value in the typemodel table?!

Hi,
even this small code fails:
        SortedMap index = new TreeMap(new LatvianStringComparator());
        index.put("baa", "baa");
        index.put("aaa", "aaa");
        index.put("aqa", "aqa");
        index.put("caa", "caa");
        Iterator it = index.keySet().iterator();
        while (it.hasNext()) {
            String key = (String)it.next();
            System.out.println(key);
        }because you assume '...first string is "less than" the second one'
but you did not test it.
Just add a 'less test' like:
if (str2Rank > str1Rank) {
//First string is "less than" the second one.
signum = -1;
break;
}after
if (str2Rank > str1Rank) {}and your code will work.
even better: use Collator API

FlvPlayback Skin Custom Button calling external function

Custom FLVplayback skin buttons

I have searched all over the web and have found multiple site
with titles about customizing the FLVplayback skin. But they all
seem to fall short when it comes to loading a developers own
custome graphics.
Now, I might have just simply missed the boat or I am
overlooking the obvious. But I can't seem to find any examples or
details about how to use my own custom graphics created in
photoshop, and put them in place of the default graphics used in
the Flash provided skins.
I ma looking for someone to suggest a book on this subject or
link to a detailed tutorial on how this is done.
Thanks

erm.. You just need to grab the single buttons from the
component library and replace the graphics with your owns. It's
also explained in the help file of Flash how to do that.
If you need any help, let me know.

How To: Use FCPX to create iPhone Portrait Movies (and other non-standard formats)

Goal: Use Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 to produce a 640x1136 video (iPhone 5 Portrait). You can use these same steps to produce virtually any dimensions you want. My example is for the iPhone 5, in Portrait mode.
This information is available in various places, but you have to realy work to find it, so I thought I'd post a step-by-step guide here.
By the way, you might think you could just create a FCPX Project with your desired dimensions, but you can't (at least with 10.0.7). Projects only support certainly dimensions. But there are other ways, as the rest of this post describes:
1) Create an initial movie with the desired dimensions, to serve as a template. We'll call it "Template.mov". The only thing that matters is the dimensions. It can be in any codec FCPX understands, and virtually any length.
I'm using a 2 second video shot on my iPhone for the template. You could also create a blank image (.png, whatever) with the proper dimensions, copy and paste it into a new Quick Time Pro 7 window, and Export it using custom settings. There's lots of different ways to do this.
2) Drop Template.mov into a FCPX event.
3) Select Template.mov in the Event browser, and select File->Duplicate (or command-D). You probably could just edit "Template.mov", but it's a good idea to save it for reuse.
3) Change the name of the copied video. I'm using "iPhone Video".
4) Right-click "iPhone Video" and select "Open in Timeline".
5) If you made the Template video from a still image, you may need to change the duration (ctrl+D). You don't have to make it very long, but it needs to be longer than 1 frame. A few seconds should be enough.
6) Use this timeline like you'd use a project's timeline. Drop in new content, trim, transition, etc. There may be things you can't do in it, but I haven't found any yet. I'm guessing Chapters may not work, but I haven't tried them.
7) Note that when you drop new content into the timeline, it may size funny. That's because the default setting for "Spacial Conform" is "Fit". Simply select the newly-dropped content, and in the Video settings inspector, scroll down to "Spacial Conform" and change it. You could use "Fill", which fills the frame vertically, or "None", which uses the source's original height. Then crop/transform/whatever to get what you want.
8) When you're ready to render, select "iPhone Video" in the Event browser, then use the "Share" button. You want to use the "Export File" destination, which you may have to add. Pick your codec, and let 'er rip.
9) When the rendering is done, you should have a video in your desired dimensions.
That's all there is to it. Hope this helps someone.

PS: Don't ask why someone would want to create an iPod video using FCPX. The point is that you may need to create a video with non-standard dimensions at some point in time, and this is how to do it.
PPS: Most of this information came from http://library.creativecow.net/articles/payton_t/FCPX_Custom-Resolution-Timeline s/video-tutorial. I just wrote it down, while I tried to do what the video suggested.

Instructions for using QuickTime Pro 7 to create a template video with unusual dimensions.
I suspect that anyone savy enough to be using FCPX has probably already figured out how to do this, either using my technique or another, so there probably isn't a real need for me to post this. For that matter, I may be the only person who cares about this at all. However, while I was trying to learn how to do all of this, I would have really appreciated having all the information in one place, so here goes.
If you want to create a video with unusual dimensions (like 640x1136) using my steps above, you'll need a "template" video first. Here's an easy way to create one, using any image editor, and QuickTime Pro 7.
1) Open QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP for short).
2) From the menu, select File->New Player. You'll get a window with just the bottom portion of the player, i.e. the playback controls.
3) Using an image editor, create a still image in the desired dimensions. You can use any image editor. It doesn't matter what the image contains (although it will end up showing as a thumbnail in FCPX).
4) Copy the image to the clipboard.
5) Switch back to QTP, and paste the image into the new player. Don't worry that there isn't a video window showing - just paste it into the window that has only playback controls. As soon as you do, the video window appears.
6) Advance to the end of the movie (the short, 1-frame movie), then hold down Command+V (paste) and keep holding it down to paste multiple images in. Watch the time advance. You could, if you want, just hold down Command+V until you get the length you want. But if you want a long video, there's an easier way:
7) When you reach a few seconds (or whatever duration your patience allows), select all (Command+A) and copy (Command+C). Then hold down Command+V to keep pasting in the longer clips. Wait until you reach a longer duration, then repeat the process. So, for example, 1 second, then 10 seconds, then 1 minute, then 10 minutes, then 1 hour. Or whatever you want.
8) Save the video however you want. I usually use File->Export with H.264, with Quality set to "Least". Just make sure you don't let it change the dimensions. If you resized the player window, depending on which "save" or "export" method you've chosen, it might default to the resized dimensions, so double check that to make sure.
That's it. You now have a template video you can use with my previous post(s).

Non-standard fonts in JOptionPane

I have looked extensively through this forum, and no one has answered this specific question, even though it has been asked several different ways. Maybe someone has an answer now.
I am writing a client app using Java 1.4.2_02 that needs to display many languages. I have all of the European languages displaying correctly in JFileChooser and JOptionPane. I even have the Asian languages displaying correctly in JFileChooser. What I can't do is display the Asian languages (and probably any non-standard font) in JOptionPane correctly - all I see are boxes in place of the characters. Here is the relevant code of what I have tried so far:
        Locale.setDefault(Locale.JAPAN);
        int option = JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION;
        String [] buttonText = null;
        switch(option) {
            case JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION:
                buttonText = new String[2];
                buttonText[0] = UIManager.getString("OptionPane.yesButtonText");
                buttonText[1] = UIManager.getString("OptionPane.noButtonText");
                break;
            // other cases...
        JOptionPane jop = new JOptionPane("Do you wish to display Japanese fonts?",
                                          JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE,
                                          option,
                                          null,
                                          buttonText);
        // Have tried many fonts - MS Gothic seems to be the one that should work, though.
        // BOLD seems to slightly work - I see a (Y) or a (N) after the strange characters.
        jop.setFont(new Font("MS Gothic", Font.BOLD, jop.getFont().getSize()));
        JDialog jopDialog = jop.createDialog(null, "Dialog Title");
        jopDialog.show();Even though most of the above code is from a post by one of the authors of "Java Internationalization", this doesn't work. Has anyone solved this problem?

To solve this problem, you have to tell the UIManager to set the font everywhere you need the new font. Unforunately, there is no one method call to do this. So here is the short version:
        localizedFont = new Font("MingLiU", Font.PLAIN, 12); // or whatever font you need
        UIManager.put("ToolTip.font", localizedFont);
        UIManager.put("OptionPane.font", localizedFont);
        UIManager.put("Button.font", localizedFont);
        // etc...    Another thread (I forget where) gave code to extract all of the properties of UIManager - find that thread to get all the properties.

How to solve sync problem between Outlook calendar and iPhone when reminder is set to _some_ non-standard values?

Hi,
I am having a sync problem between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook calendar events (Outlook 2010).
Here is the description of the problem:
1. In Outlook - please create a new event/appointment (e.g. "Test").
2. Reminder is set by default to 15 minutes. You can change it by using a dropdown menu - please select: "0,5 days".
3. Click on "0,5 days" and change it manually to "14,5 days".
4. Click on "Save & Close".
5. (Do not snooze or dismiss the reminder.)
6. Sync with your iPhone/iPad.
7. Open this new event on iPhone/iPad - you can see that alert is set to "15 minutes before" instead to a correct value that was set in Outlook.
The same problem can be seen if you set the reminder to e.g. "3 weeks" (standard value is "2 weeks").
However, it is interesting that non-standard values like "1,5 days" (and all other until "13,5 days") are synced without any problem.
Does anyone have a solution how to solve this problem (different than the trivial solution of not using those strange values)?
Thanks!

Thanks to another post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17501071#17501071) I reset the sync history, here is what to do:
Launch iTunes.
Before you hook up your iPhone to the PC and iTunes do this: Go to iTunes Edit menu > Preferences… > select the iPhone > click the Reset Synch History button > click OK.
Connect the iPhone to the PC and let iTunes recognize it.
In the top right corner is the iPhone icon, click on the left side of the iPhone icon > the iPhone menu launches.
In the menu along the top click on Info > make your selections > click Sync button > it gives you a dialog at the top with the steps it’s going through during the sync.
In the top left of the iTunes app > click Exit.

Change text for standard button

Hi,
Anyone has an idea of how to change the text of a standard button, e.g. the Go button of the advanced search header.
TIA

In your first post you asked about ALV and now about non-ALV...
So about ALV you have the Excel download by default and you are able to change the text.
About non-ALV download I think you have to use the method: cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response.

Add Non-Standard Web Link in Mac Mail

Does anyone know how to add a non-standard web link? The add link dialog box does not like my url.
I need to add a link like this: http://someserver100/index.html.
It disables the "OK" button as soon as I add the "100" after "someserver".
Prior to the Leopard upgrade I never had a problem doing this. Now it seems that Mail is trying to be too clever. Please help, this is an important business need for me to be able to send links like this.

I didn't originally go deep into detail as not to bore, but maybe the details will make the difference.
I am a web developer. I have a client that I vpn into to make web updates. The server that I work on is a testing / development server, not the outside world facing production server. The server is not viewable via a domain name. So I can not get to it by typing www.domainname.com. Instead, the client's IT guys have a host name set up for the server that I need to use due to some of the back end technology that serves the pages.
The server name is "development100".
In order for me to view pages on this server, I had to make an entry in my host file so my browser would know what ip address "development100" is associated with. That way whenever I type "http://develoment100" into my browser's url bar to proof my web work it would resolve me to the testing / development server.
Now, once my changes are done and posted, I need to send a notification email to the IT staff that servers two purposes. First, it gives them an exact url laundry list of what files have have updated. Second, it gives them a link to click for each item that will allow them to proof that html, jpeg, etc.
A typical item in this list would like like this: http://development100/index.html
That link should send them directly to the index page on the server for example. I have be using this system of building the notification emails with these links for over five years and prior to upgrading to Leopard, it always worked.
Now, if I try to "Add Link" and type "http://development100/index.html" in the dialog box. The "OK" button will become disabled as soon as I key in the first number in that link.
If I don't "Add Link" and just key "http://development100/index.html" into the body of the email the link will cut off at the first number as well. So the link will look like this: "http://development"
Sorry for the long explanation, but I think that it is necessary. The answer may just be that Apple is trying to verify / qualify links automatically and wont let numbers go in the link name without a .com / suffix. Thanks for the help.

More Non-standard keys

Hi
I've noticed that many Windows programs responds to a "menu"-key located next to the right <ctrl>key. (When you press this key, a popup menu shows up as if you would have pressed the right mouse button).
I would like to respond to this key in my program. A KeyEvent is produced in java and sent to the processKeyEvent method. The keycode is 0. And KeyEvent.getKeyText(e.getKeyCode()) returns "Unknown keyCode".
This is unfortunately not the only key on my keyboard which is unknown to java. (Also the "Windows"-key next to the left <ctrl>key, and the Back- and forward keys mentioned in the "Non-standard keys" posting last month return keyCode 0) Is it possible somehow to tell which unknown key has been pressed? I've tried to find any difference in the KeyEvents when pressing different "unknown" keys, but the events seem to be equal.
Does anyone know if java offers another way to tell which key has been pressed??

Hi again
Hmmm, that's an interesting thought. Aside from inserting a
kabillion Click Box objects on the slide (one for each key allowed)
there really isn't a way inside Captivate. Personally, I think it
would make for a wonderful enhancement request.

Community Expert Paul Dewhurst to create a small widget similar to

Can you adjust the height of the toolbar button in the skin file?

Can I manually adjust the height of the toolbar navigation buttons in the skin file? It seems no matter how tall I make the nav panel, the buttons adjust size accordingly. Can I tell it to be 50% or something like that? For example, this is what I see for the glossary button.
<toolbaritem mode="BtnWithIcon Mode" type="built-in-glossary" id="4">
   <name>Glossary</name>
   <text>::??DefaultWebSkinText??::</text>
   <color></color>
   <image></image>
   <icontype>none</icontype>
   <selected>
    <color></color>
    <image></image>
    <icontype>none</icontype>
   </selected>
   <style>100</style>
</toolbaritem>
Notice I am not using custom images or anything, just plain text.
Thanks

Hi Josh
You must be someone that dearly loves digging into code.
The simplest way to adjust the buttons is to use the built in Skin Editor.
Hmmm, and in writing that response it occurs to me that you haven't exactly advised which of the outputs you are creating. The skin editor I'm referring to is the WebHelp skin editor. To open it, click View > Pods > Project Set-up. Once that pod is open you should see the Skins folder. Expand that and double-click the skin you are using to open and edit it using the skin editor.
Cheers... Rick

Custom Buttons in WebHelp Skin

Hi all,
I am trying to add a button to my WebHelp version of my
project to enable readers to print the current topic. In my skin
editor, I managed to add a custom button, Print, with an image
entered window.print() in the JavaScript onClick field that is
provided (this is a standard JS call that prints the window). After
updating the view in the Skin Editor, the button is displayed, but
after re-generating the WebHelp layout, I can't see my new button.
I thought maybe the Advanced tab's Dependancies list might have
something to do with it, but I am not sure what it is for exactly.
Is there a trick to adding custom buttons to skins to get them to
display in the generated format?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
darkagn

Hi Captiv8r and thankyou for the super-fast response :)
Your reply allowed me to add the custom button to my skin.
However, the window.print() function only prints the area
with the buttons, not the topic itself. So I thought I'd re-post
and explain how I actually solved the problem of printing topics in
WebHelp in case anyone else needed the same info.
I ended up adding a button to the template that all of my
topics are derived from, in the footer so that the button remained
below the topic itself. I had to add the button in the HTML editor
with the following code:
<form style="text-align: right; padding-right: 10px;">
<input id=printbutton type=button onClick="window.print()"
value="Print Topic" style="width: 90px;">
</form>
Now, because the Print button appears in the same area of the
screen as the topic itself, the call to window.print() prints
everything in that frame (which unfortunately includes the button
itself, but this is a small price to pay to be able to print topics
from WebHelp).
Anyway, I hope this solution helps someone out
there...
