               "PathForHTML/YourHTML.htm"});

Opening a file in its native application from Flex.

Is it possible to open a file on whatever native application the user runs it as? Or even, at that, to simply open the directory it's in, in an explorer window?
We have a search application and the frontend is in Flex, and I'm trying to find a way to do this, such that when a use double clicks on a result (in a datagrid - but that's trivial), it opens the file or at least the location of the file on the OS.
Any system call where I can say system("explorer.exe " + filepath); or something?
Any help would be appreciated.

Dear BillBlalock ,
thank you for answer!! You are very kind and helpful!! I would like to inform everybody that I have finally find another way of soilving my problem and I announce it to the forum in case somebody else encounters the same problem. Well, I soved the nproblem by using the following code:
    excelButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
         String filePath = "\""+saveFileName.toString()+"\"";
         System.out.println(""+filePath);
         try
           String cmd="explorer "+filePath;
           Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
         }catch(IOException ec){}
     });I hope it can be useful to somebody!! By this code, I can make a button (in my case the excelButton) to open any file in its default application. Keep up the great work you are doing guys!!

IWeb won't open .html file

Greetings,
I recently upgraded from a G5 running Tiger to an Intel iMac with Leopard. I have several basic web pages that I used to edit using the ancient Classic app, Claris Home Page.
Now that I can no longer run Classic apps, I thought I'd give iWeb a try. I right-clicked an html file and selected Open With. In the dialog box, iWeb was greyed out, so I switched from Recommended Applications to All Applications. Then, when I selected iWeb, the app gave an error message saying it could not open a .html file.
Umm, isn't that the point of the app, or is this thing designed to create some sort of proprietary file format specific for use with MobileMe?
BTW, after this, I was unable to launch iWeb directly from the Finder because it would always try to open that same file again, resulting in the same error. I had to trash the prefs files and empty the trash before I could open iWeb again and get to that opening template page.
Help? thanks
Dennis

When you create a site in iWeb it saves it in its own special format in a file called 'Domain' in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb. When you publish, to MobileMe, to a local folder, or to another server, it creates the html, css and other files on the fly and uploads them to the server. When you want to edit, you open iWeb, it reads the Domain file, and you edit as necessary and re-upload. If you want to edit the site on another computer, you have to copy the Domain file to that computer and open it in iWeb. You cannot re-import the published html files and edit them in iWeb, nor edit html files made in another application.
To do that you could use Kompozer (free).

Can't import/open HTML files in Fireworks CS4

I'm trying to import/open HTML files into Fireworks CS4 to do some redesigning. I inherited the job of redoing my companies website and we believe the person who created our website created the site using Dreamweaver 8. Unfortunatley that person moved on to a new job across the country and we can't ask him exactly how he created our website.
When I try to open some of the HTML files in FW I get the message: "Could not open the file....Fireworks could not find an HTML table in this file". Next I tried creating a new, very simple HTML page in Dreamweaver CS4 that contains just a few lines of text and 1graphic (we just bought the CS4 web suite). Again, I get the same error.
Other files give me a slightly different error message when trying to open them in FW, "The HTML document contains one or more images with absolute web addresses for the source. Fireworks cannot handle these images. --click OK-- (next error message) Could not open the file. Fireworks has encountered a problem with the HTML in this table. Verify that the HTML is valid"... and then it closes and nothing loads into FW. Bummer.
I've searched on these forums and can't find any solutions to this problem although I found a few people experiencing the same problem.
Do I need to do something to the Dreamweaver created HTML's to get them to open in FW? Any help would be appreciated.

Fireworks is a graphics editor that can export code; it is not an HTML/code editor.
If you have exported HTML from Fireworks, you ought to be able to re-import that, but I would think most people who use Fireworks exported code would just modify their Fireworks document and re-export. (Fireworks' code is not robust and it is only intended for mockups and prototypes. Fireworks is not intended for developing and maintaining live Web sites; Dreamweaver is.)
If your developer used Dreamweaver, then I really don't expect that Fireworks would be able to import that, nor any code that isn't in exactly the format that it can export. If you know your developer used Fireworks, then you need to look for .png files. Fireworks uses an enhanced version of the PNG format for its native document format.
If you are making small adjustments to your site, then you might be better off working in Dreamweaver. If you're doing a site re-design, then Fireworks is an excellent tool for laying out your design and producing your graphics, but you will, at some point, need to move over to Dreamweaver for coding.

Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

Hello,
I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry. I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC. In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jesse

I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

No option to save files, content/file type missing from Applications list

I want to be able to click a link to a file and have the option to Open the file with a specified application.
When clicking on the file I want to Open with a specified application, I only get a Save or Cancel option.
When I look in Preferences > Applications, the file type is missing from the list.
This was working. It is not working anymore. It is not a problem with the website. I need to know where in the FF settings I can change this.
FF 30.0
Kubuntu 13.10

OP, did you ever get a solution to this problem? It's driving me nuts having to specify a download destination then go into a program to open the file I just downloaded!! Have tried deleting file types .rdf and no success either!

I'm not sure of the solution on Windows. But this worked for me on Linux.
I needed to edit mimeTypes.rdf
See the links below for details. The first one was someone having a problem with Transmission. I was having a problem with ktorrent, so I just adapted that. If you're having a problem with a different file type, then you'll need to adapt it differently. But the general idea is the same.

Also, I suspect that FlashGot or some similar download manger plugin was responsible for screwing this up. I haven't confirmed it yet, but I've seen some things that make me suspect it.

FileNotFoundException thrown when opening a file for writing from EJB

Hi,
I know it is against EJB rules that access file IO from EJB. However we have a legacy system to working with and we need to generate a text file on file system.
Weblogic (we are using 10.3) allows open a file for read from EJB. When we tried to open a writer like below:
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter( new FileWriter(fileName, false));
FileNotFoundException was thrown from the native method of open. The fileName is an absolute path and permission is properly set. The same piece of code can execute correctly in a test application with same filename.
Does anyone know how to achieve this or whether Weblogic just forbids this kind of output access?

Sorry guys. Just double-checked the source code and found out a bug produced wrong filename, the filename was surrounded by "", so FileNotFoundException is a correct result.
Weblogic does allow read/write external file.

Won't open after trying to open HTML file

Hi, I had an .html file and by mistake I tried to open it with iWeb. Now, when I try to open iWeb I get an error message:
*Can’t open file “~/Desktop/websites/TRC/book40off.html.”* OK BUTTON
When you click the OK, then nothing happens. It doesn't open at all. I restarted my imac i5 27" (10.6.4) and it's doing the same thing. I really need to open iWeb, so what should I do???
I never had a problem like this where you TRY to open a file and then the application goes nuts.

###### UPDATE ######
I took the CD that came with my iMac "iMac Applications Install DVD" and installed the iWeb package over. It did the install, restarted the computer and when I look in the Application folder I can see the date on iWeb is TODAY. But, when I click to open it I get the SAME error message!!!! How can that be when I installed it over again?

Safari 7.0.5 unable to open html file

I used to be able to open HTML files in Safari so I can read the content but now it won't let me. Safari 7.0.5. Is there an issue with this version? I am also unable to see some content in our SalesForce app for work. Would a different version of Safari fix this?

You may have installed "SearchMe" or some other malicious Safari extension.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Remove all extensions with the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, remove all extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
