Preview SWF which contains a Run Time Shared Library

All of our assets share fonts using a run time shared library (RSL) so that we dont need to embedd the fonts in each and every seperate swf. The swf looks for a sharedFonts.swf file one level/directory up from where it is currently at. Inside the assets' RSL the url is ../sharedFonts.swf.
So with a program like Adobe Bridge I just need to find out where Bridge is previewing the file from and then one directory up from that I need to place in the sharedFonts.swf. The place that I am viewing it from is already setup that way and works correctly if I simply open the swf without using some kind of program. So my guess is that Bridge takes the swf and places it somewhere within itself and then previews it or there is simply a bug with Bridge since currently it is just crashing.
I have some logs using windows event viewer and that shows me that the module that is failing is AdobeSWFL.dll which I am guessing is library to preview items.
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS5\Bridge.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\APE\3.1\AdobeSWFL.dll
Has anyone ran into something like this before? Any ideas on what to do here?
Thank you!

I'm having the same problem. A coworker showed me how he uses Bridge to navigate all of his Photoshop and Illustrator files. As a Flash artist, I tried using Bridge to preview SWFs, and discovered the auto-crash feature.
Bridge crashes every time I click on a SWF that uses a runtime shared library. Frustrating!
Were it not for this bug, our studio's Flash artists would likely integrate Bridge into our pipeline. A fix, or directions on fixing the issue would be greatly appreciated.

Run time shared library

Hi.
I use the same library "food" (which contains apple.swf, orange.swf etc... ) for ten different games.
I DON'T check the run time shared library box on export.
The ten games import food.swf to use it's assets.
I thought that on downloading food.swf once then it was cached so it would always be local ie: why would it be advantageous to have used run time shared library.
Cheers

Are you talking about symbol RSL in Flash IDE?
If yes - symbol RSLs have nothing to do with application RSL. Symbol RSLs are authoring environment RSLs - they are asasets that shared between FLAs - not SWFs.
RSLs from SWFs perspective are different story.
Say, you have class Food. Also you have Classes Orange, Apple, Walnut that extend class Food. And each of these sublcasses have their own SWF orange.swf, apple.swf, walnut.swf.
You can compile these extended swf in regular way when they don't share their super class Food. In this case a copy of Food class will be in all three swfs. So, all three are as much heavier as Flood class is.
But if you use RSL - you don't compile Food in any of them. You compile Food into main SWF that loads these three extended swfs so that these swfs use a single copy that resides in the main swf. The three subclasses are lighter because they don't have Food class in the swfs.
In other words, orange, apple, and walnut swfs are useless on their own unless they are loaded into main application.
RSL approach is not only about loading efficiencies but also about deployment and maintainability.
Let's assume you discover a bug in Food class or make some changes that are not pertaining to these three subclasses. If you don't use RSL - you will need to recompile all three. With RSL you just need to recompile main swf only.

How to recover from deletion of JSF Run-Time Support Library

While using the library manager to add a new library, we accidentally deleted the JSF Run-Time Support library. This was a big mistake as nothing works after doing this. Is there any way to recover from this gracefully and manually reconfigure this library back into the library manager? We have experimented with it on another system and found that we have to completely delete the user's preferences and then re-install JSC2 thus losing all the developer's environment which is quite a loss. We are sure it will happen again but we would like to find a more graceful recovery solution. This is a Windows environment.

You can recreate the library definition, but doing it using the library manager tool is not possible.
Close Creator. Inside your Creator user directory, create a file "jsfsupport-runtime.xml" in the directory
.Creator\2_0\config\org-netbeans-api-project-libraries\Libraries
Add the following content to the new file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE library PUBLIC "-//NetBeans//DTD Library Declaration 1.0//EN" "http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/library-declaration-1_0.dtd">

How to use database control to execute sql queries which change at run time

Hi all,
I need to execute sql queries using database controls , where the sql changes
at run time
based on some condition. For eg. based on the condition , I can add some where
condition.
Eg. sql = select id,name from emp where id = ?.
based on some condition , I can add the following condition .
and location = ?.
Have anybody had this kind of situation.
thanks,
sathish

From the perspective of the database control, you've got two options:
1) use the sql: keyword to do parameter substitution. Your observation
about {foo} style sbustitution is correct -- this is like using a
PreparedStatement. To do substitution into the rest of the SQL
statement, you can use the {sql: foo} substitution syntax which was
undocumented in GA but is documented in SP2. Then, you can build up
the filter clause String yourself in a JPF / JWS / etc and pass it into
the DB control.
For example:
* @jc:sql statement="select * from product {sql: filter}"
public Product[] getProducts(String filter) throws SQLException;
This will substitute the String filter directly into the statement that
is executed. The filter string could be null, "", "WHERE ID=12345", etc.
2) you can use the DatabaseFilter object to build up a set of custom
sorts and filters and pass that object into the DB control method.
There have been other posts here about doing this, look for the subject
"DatabaseFilter example".
Hope that helps...

Hi Maruthi,
The parameter substituion , I guess is used like setting the values for

What I'm trying to do , is change the sql at run time based on some condition.
For example ,
consider the following query :
select col1,col2 from table t where t.col3 > 1
At run time , based on some condition , I need to add one more and condition.
i.e. select col1,col2 from table t where t.col3 > 1 and t.col4 < 10.
This MAY not address your issue but if you are trying to add "optional" parameters
you may try including ALL the possible parameters in the SQL but send in null
for those params that you don't want to filter on in any particular case. Then,
if you word your query
as follows:
select col1, col2 from table t where t.col3 > 1 and (t.col4 = {col4param} or
{col4param} is null) and (t.col5 = {col5param} or {col5param} is null) ...
you will get "dynamic" filters. In other words, col4 and col5 will only be
filtered if you send in non-null parameters for those arguments.
I have not tried this in a WL Workshop database control but I've used
this strategy dozens of times in stored procedures or jdbc prepared statements.
Good luck,
Dan

How to Convert swf which Contain Buttons to DVD?

Hi. I'm designing a multimedia application which contain buttons and animation and i wanted to convert it into DVD as DVD cannot support swf file. Do i use a converter to just convert it or is there any other solution to this?
Thank you.

If your target media is a Video-DVD that must be playable on standard NTSC/PAL devices, Flash is the wrong tool.
Use After Effects to create your animations and encore to author the Video-DVD

Run time shared lib

Hi,
We have several projects referencing same lib which compiled into a runtime shared swf .
The swfs(projects) can be loaded in several(independent) iframes in the web page.
Is it possible for the projects to use the first runtime shared lib swf
that has been loaded on the client side(It’s supposed to be a singleton)
and communicate (pass compmonents).
Or set the loaded swfs to the same sandbox the “main” swf project got into?
Thanks,

I'm pretty sure separate iframes are separate player instances so no
sharing.

Which version of run time

I have an exe. It was either compiled with LabVIEW 8.2 or 8.5. I need to know which, so that I can install the correct run time engine.
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

Aeh, true, you wont see which version it runs if the runtime engine of the correct version is available.
But i dont understand: Now you state you want to uninstall runtime engines, in the intial post, you are talking about installing.....
Another point is that e.g. tools from NI do already install LV runtime engines (RTEs) as well, so simply removing installed RTEs can mess up those. So please dont do it except you want to revert the machine to "clean" state and start reinstalling all tools/drivers and applications you "really" require.
As last feedback, you CAN include custom code in your LV application to display the version it runs.

XFL-Based Author-Time Shared Library Workflow

I'm creating a large project with many different FLAs using symbols pulled from a shared library FLA at author time. It works great, however, the workflow could be simplified (possibly) if the shared library were saved in XFL format.
I saved a copy of the shared library FLA as XFL. Then, I tried to import a symbol to another FLA from the XFL as author-time symbol references. Flash recognized the XFL document as an accepted source, but did not offer a menu giving a selection of symbols.
Has anyone tried this at all? Any luck? Is it a bug in CS5?

Im having the same issue. With an FLA, hitting the browse button brings up the symbol browser. With an XFL, the symbol browser does not come up. Nothing happens.
Also, if you copy/paste from an FLA library, it will maintain the "Source" reference and have the option to Update the symbol. If you copy/paste from an XFL, it loses its reference and the ability to update. It looks like a bug with CS5...
However,
If you use runtime shared libraries it works. This is probably the better approach anyways, since you only need to change and recompile a single shared asset.
Watch out though, i've found a bug with CS5 and RSL...using the new TLF text fields will cause shared library swf files to fail to load! So stay away from TLF in shared libraries.
So for you, just take the symbols that you want to link from one XFL to another, and split them into their own shared assets XFL. Now go to the symbol properties, and export as runtime shared library. Enter the swf name as the URL. Comp
Now copy/paste the symbol into the second XFL or use the Import / Open External Library.

How to unload externally loaded swf which contains 3D Carousel?

Hello to all
I am learning AS3 and have been taking on various tutorials found on the net. While learning about AS3 I came across a lesson on http://tutorials.flashmymind.com/2009/05/vertical-3d-carousel-with-actionscript-3-and-xml/ titled "Vertical 3D Carousel with AS3 and XML".
I completed the tutorial and all worked fine so I then wanted to load the swf into a existing project. The loading of the swf goes fine and when I unload my loader it is removed but only visually as in my output panel in flash CS5 I get an error as follows
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at carousel_c_fla::MainTimeline/moveCarousel()
this error repeats over and over again slowing my swf movie.
So does this mean my main flash movie trying to still play / find my unloaded 3D Carousel?
If so how do I unload remove all the AS3 that is trying to run from the 3D Carousel?
I have included the AS3 below from the tutorial page and I understand that this is what I have to remove to "break free" from the 3D Carousel swf when it is unloaded. This is where I am stuck as my knowledge of AS3 is limited - Can you guys / girls help?

Hi Ned thanks for the reply,
Ok so I have a button in my main movie that loads the external swf
stop();
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
var my_btn:Button = new Button();
var my_pb:ProgressBar = new ProgressBar();
my_pb.source = my_loader.contentLoaderInfo;
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startLoading);
function startLoading(e:MouseEvent):void{
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("carousel.swf"));
addChild(my_pb);
my_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finishloading);
function finishloading(e:Event):void{
addChild(my_loader);
my_loader.addEventListener("killMe",
killLoadedClip);
removeChild(my_pb);
function killLoadedClip(e:Event):void {
my_loader.removeEventListener("killMe",
killLoadedClip);
my_loader.unloadAndStop();
removeChild(my_loader);
Then I have a button in my loaded swf that closes the loader
This is spread over 2 frames
Frame1
function closeIt(e:MouseEvent):void {
parent.dispatchEvent(newEvent("killMe"));
Frame 2
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeIt);
Frame 2 also holds all the code for the carousel
Thanks for your time and help in advance people ; )

Flex 4.6 IOS Mobile packager - can it load and play swf's dynamically at run time?

I have an app that shows the viewer slides in a SWFLoader object. I load the slides at runtime from a remote server. When I package the app for IOS using 4.6 the swf slides load and play fine in the IOS emulator on the PC. They don't load, however, when I deploy to a provisioned iPad.
My guess is that IOS can handle doesn't know what to do with dynamically loaded swf data. I'm not positive though because it plays in the emulator. Is that emulator truly emulating xcode or is it running flash?
Note: this same app plays an rtmp flash stream just fine even on the device itself. Just can't handle a dynamically loaded swf.

The correct answer to this question appears to be that Apple's terms of service *do not* prohibit the loading of swf's on IOS from remote servers dynamically at runtime. They prohibit the loading of swf's that *contain executable ActionScript code*.
I loaded a PPT into Adobe Connect and then retrieved the resultant slide swf's from the Connect server. I took these swf's and loaded them into my iPad app, dynamically at runtime, from a remote server. The swf's loaded and animations played. I made no changes to my code. I'm just using a plain old SWFLoader object.
Loading swf's dynamically at runtime from remote servers into IOS works - if you make the swf's right. How to do that I'm not sure.

LabVIEW 2009 3D Plot has no Loose Fit property and Axis AutoScale does not function at run time ?

I cannot find a Loose Fit property for the new 3D plots (waterfall, ribbon) in LV 2009. As a result, my data range of 1402 to 1407 ends up on a Z axis range of 1400 to 1500 and looks like a flat line.
The Z Active Axis properties Range Maximum and Range Minimum can be used to set the range but the Z Axis Autoscale property had to be changed to False using either the front panel Plot Properties at edit time or using the Range Auto Scale property at run time on the block diagram. It could not be changed at run time by popping up on either the plot border or on the Color Palette.
In edit mode, R-clicking on the Color Palette's AutoScale Z did not make that property toggle or stick and did not change its function.
At run time, there are two AutoScale Z selections shown. One along with the X and Y scales and another by itselfat the bottom. Again, clicking the one that is part of the X and Y axis did not make its setting stick and did not have an effect. What does happen though is that the other AutoScale Z shown at the bottom of the Color Pallete popup does toggle its state. But clicking on the AutoScale Z shown at the bottom does not toggle its state.
The grey border region of the plot area contains at run time, popup setting for X,Y and Z AutoScale that likewise have no effect.
Or am I missingsomething ?

Steve,
you should be able to successfully change the scales based on the min and max values as long as you explicitly turn off autoscale. In your program, I just right-clicked the Range Auto Scale property selected "change to write", then made a control so that I could set the value myself. Clean up the broken wires, and the program runs like it's supposed to - resetting it's scale range:
is this the result you wanted?

Manage query - run time errors

Hi,
we have one user working at one desktop which receives error "run-time error 5" followed by "401 Automation error" when selecting the manage query wizard proceeding from the BPC Excel action pane.
We only have this at one desktop. Any ideas?
Dries

Hi,
You can check the query run time by using T code RSRT.
1. Go to T code RSRT
2. Give your query name.
3. Click on the "Execute + Debug" tab
4. Various check boxed for Debug options will appear on the screen
5. Under the "Others" node you will find the check box for "Display Statics Data"
6. Check this check box and click on continue.
7. This will execute the query and provide you selection screen if any.
8. Once the query is completely executed, click on "back" button or simply hit F3.
9. This takes you to the "Statistic Data for Query Runtime screen"
10. Here you can take the total of "Duration" column to get the total duration for query execution.

ITunes Feature Request: Shared Library Enhancements

I use iTunes to manage the music library for my home network, then share the library to each system on the network. The only gripe I have is that I can not make my local systems load the artwork from music in the shared library. I am also a bit dissapointed that the "jukebox" view doesn't work for shared libraries, and that you can't make a playlist containing songs on a shared library.
I'm assuming these features were left out to conserve network bandwidth, which makes sense, however I think it should be an optional feature that that can be enabled for people with the hardware to support it. If you're running a gigabit home network then there is certainly enough bandwidth to spare to support this.
I'm a windows user and will always be, however I'm very impressed with iTunes and how efficiently it operates and handles tagging and other features. I just think that the shared library capabilities should be expanded. It'd even be nice if you could grant permission to a specific computer name or IP range giving systems permission to edit the library. Remote Desktop/VNC solutions work well for this, but it'd be nice to have an internal feature to support it.
