Opening an external file as a layer?

Hi experts - I know I've run across this in a tutorial somewhere but I've just spent 10 minutes looking through every menu in 5.0. How do i open another file as a layer in my current working file?
Thanks,
Chris

How to open an external file in Labview?

Hi, Who knows how to open an external file in LabView? I want to open an .UDL file(data link API) which is a dialog window letting me input correlated database information, but I dont know how to open this type of file in my LabView Program.
Thanks.

A UDL is technically a text file, so you could open it with "Read Characters from file", put the result string into a string control, edit it and save it back using the "Write Characters to File".
UDLs however have their own configuration dialog embedded in the Windows OS. You can use this dialog in your LabVIEW application. The attached VI shows how to create a new UDL. You can edit an existing UDL by switching the method node to PromptEdit and wiring in an open ADO connection reference.

When I click "File" and then "New" it keeps opening a new file as a layer and not a background. RGB is selected as the mode.

When I click "File" and then "New" it keeps opening a new file as a layer and not a background. RGB is selected as the mode.
With new files opening as a layer and not a background I'm not able to create multiple layers and it wont let me convert the layer to the background.
How did this happen. I used PS just yesterday and had no problems. Today my computer did mandatory updates and now this.

Yes. You are using the Ellipse Tool's Pixel option. So it is laying down pixels as it is supposed to do without creating a layer.
Choose the Shape option:
Also Layer menu > New Layer creates layers and the curled paper at the bottom of your Layers palette also creates a New Layer. I hope those work.

Opening an external file containing javascript code

I'm trying to develop a PDF in two languages. When pushing a button, all questions and list-of-values for possible answers should be translated.
I created and initialized several variables with the two language phrases with javascript. Everything is inside my code.
Is there anyway that when a button is pressed an external file is read, bringing that javascript code for questions ans list-of-values? My concern is that currently I have a duplicated code, but if I want to implement three, four languages it will grow without control.
This is an example I wrote in my code:
var TxtAuxL1ESP = new Array();
var TxtAuxL1ING = new Array();
TxtAuxL1ESP[0]=", como ";
TxtAuxL1ING[0]=", such as ";
TxtAuxL1ESP[1]=": el último año ha obtenido ";
TxtAuxL1ING[1]=": last year it obtained ";
TxtAuxL1ESP[2]="%, en los últimos tres años ";
TxtAuxL1ING[2]="%, in the last three years ";
TxtAuxL1ESP[3]="% y en los últimos cinco años ";
TxtAuxL1ING[3]="% and in the last five years ";
if (P1.BtnIdioma.border.edge.stroke == "raised") {
    var TxtAuxL1=TxtAuxL1ESP;
    var TxtAuxL2=TxtAuxL2ESP;
    var TxtAuxL3=TxtAuxL3ESP;
else {
    var TxtAuxL1=TxtAuxL1ING;
    var TxtAuxL2=TxtAuxL2ING;
    var TxtAuxL3=TxtAuxL3ING;
What I was thinking is to store TxtAuxL1ING in one file, TxtAuxL1ESP in another file and read them from my javascript code inside the PDF. Is it possible?

Open an external file with as2??

Im building a portfolio on Flash.I have created my menu buttons and need to open files with doc, pdf, avi and swf extentions.
So far I have been using the getUrl command and it seems to work for the pdf and swf. How can I get this to work for the other types?
They all seems to work when I try them from my computer, but once they are burned in the cd, it fails miserably. Help!!!!

adjust your security settings to allow your cd to be in the trusted zone and retest to confirm this is a security sandbox issue:

External files opening behind the projector

I have used 'baOpenFile' function to open some external files
(pdf, pps etc). In most computers everything works great, but in
some computers the file opens behind the projector (which is in
full screen mode), and user doesn't see that the file has opened.
To solve this problem I have used
'baWindowToBack(baWinHandle())' to send the projector window back
before the external file opens. It works, but it's ugly solution
(especially if there's many windows open on desktop). Does anyone
know why external files open behind the projector, and is there a
better way to fix the problem than the one that I've used?

Instead of sending the Director window to the back, it may be
better to
bring the new window to the front. That will bypass the issue
of other
windows appearing over the Director window.
I do not know why this happens, and I have seen it in action
many times
myself. It is annoying, but easily worked around.

If you want to open the text or picture with notepad or windows picture viewer you can use the System exec vi. There is surely of lot of other methods depending on want what you exactly want to do.

Select the type of file and browse to it.

Trouble opening external files in Web Player

When using the Web Player with Authorware 7.02, whenever I try to open an external file in Winword (Microsoft Word) it looks on the desktop.
This happened even when I used the "get. put. bin win file name.doc" in an .aam web file, so instead of looking in the same folder as the .aam is in as the Map file basics instuctions indicated, it looks on the desktop.

The FileLocation is a variable that holds the location where your file is currently being executed. It doesn't go in the aam file it goes into the JumpOutReturn call...
JumpOutReturn("",FileLocation^"A1ChangeStrategyAgendaR.doc")

For loop not working & way to include an external file

Hi everyone, i am new to java and am having some problems with my program.
I have a for loop but it doesnt work it completely gets ignored and i have
no idea why it does that.
IS there a way that i add another option in the menu to open an external file
which would be similar to this but it would be for cabinBooking. If so how do
i do that. if opening an external file is impossible then could you please show me an example of how to extend the booking class.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
public class Booking{
Booking(String bId,     String bName,int bNum){
bookId = bId;
bookName = bName;
bookNum     = bNum;
String bookId;
String bookName;
int     bookNum;
public double calculateBookingPrice(){
double cost     = bookNum *     genBookingcost;
return cost;
double genBookingcost =     80;
public void     summary(){
     System.out.println();
System.out.println("Booking Number is: " + bookId + ", ");
System.out.println("Booking Made for : " + bookName);
System.out.println("Cost of booking = $" + calculateBookingPrice());

               if (answer == 'a' || answer == 'A'){
                    System.out.println("Booking     ID : ");
          String idstring     = keyboard.nextLine();
          System.out.println("Booking     Name : ");
          String namestring =     keyboard.nextLine();
          System.out.println("number of people : ");
          int     ppl     = keyboard.nextInt();
          bookings[bookCount] = new Booking(idstring,namestring,ppl);
          bookings[bookCount].summary();
                    bookCount++;
               }else if (answer == 'b' || answer == 'B'){
                    System.out.println("Enter printing");
                    bookings[0].summary();
                    bookings[1].summary();
                    // this is the loop that it is ignoring GGRRRR!!!
               for(int i = 0; i >= bookCount; i++){
                    System.out.println("Counter: " + i);
                    bookings.summary();
               }else if (answer == 'x' || answer == 'X'){
                    System.out.println("Exiting the programme...");
System.out.println();
System.exit(0);
}while (answer != 'x' || answer != 'X');
public static void menu(){
     System.out.println("********** Main Menu ***********");
          System.out.println(" A. Make General Booking");
          System.out.println(" B. Print Summary");
          System.out.println(" X. Exit program");
          System.out.println("*****************************");
          System.out.println("Select one of the options above");

in order to extend the Booking class, you can create anew class like this..
public class CabinBooking extends Booking
   public CabinBooking( /*String bId, String bName,int bNum .. more args or fewer, or none.. */)
    // add new methods or override ones from Booking
}

Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 program error when I place a layer or open a new file

I have just updated to the most recent PS CC2014 version. Twice, in fact, and the same problem persists. At some point while working on a file it will become impossible to place a new layer or open a new file. Other program functions work, but these will produce an error message: "Could not complete your request because of a program error." It's very frustrating and the only solution is to restart the program which will run fine for a while and then do it again.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Or better still, has anyone found a solution to this issue?
Richard

I am experiencing a similiar problem.
Ever since I upgraded to CC I have received this error after using Photoshop for more than 5 mins, or trying to performing tasks such as: placing a linked file, copying and pasting, dragging and dropping an image or even using "File>Open"
I did a complete system clean install of Yosemite, and reinstalled CC completely 3 times.
Any assistance in resolving would be greatly appreciated!

How to open and read an external file in Dashboard widget?

I am new to Dashboard widgets and also Javascript. I have written a widget that needs to open and read a file on the local file system. I have searched a lot and have not found any documentation or reference on the internet as to how to do this.
I know it can be done since there is a checkbox in the widget attributes that says "Allow External File Access".
can anyone help me out here?
Thanks

You need to define the AllowFileAccessOutsideOfWidget key to Yes.
You also need to define the AllowFullAccess key.
You may also need to define the AllowSystem key (to Yes of course).
Mihalis.
PS. If you cannot find any other documentation please check http://widgetbook.blogspot.com.

Open RAW file as linked layer

Hi!
I know that when I open a RAW file as a smart object in PS I can convert it to a linked layer afterwards. But during that PS asks me where to save the RAW file.
Now that seems terribly inefficient to me as I already have the RAW on my hard disk (where I just opened it) and I don't want to create another copy of it.
So is there some way that I can open the RAW file so that it is linked to the original from the start? And I certainly don't want to overwrite the original RAW file with the one extracted from the smart object (I don't like touching originals, messes up backup etc.).

I'm half way there, but stuck at:
Getting a file location reference when the .jpg is first brought into PS as a layer.
Getting a script to write the location of the file into the medata for the PSD in some field
Reading back the metadata file location for the .jpg and bringing it back into the PSD again.
Any help would really be appreciated.
I can make the completed script(s) available when its complete, as this has possibilities for other uses, batch process, and more.
