Problem in CS5 with web URL links

HI. I have a newletter with links to web URLs in it. Until inDesign CS5, they automatically "went live" in my PDF version. Since I upgraded to CS5, if there is a line break, the URL only picks up the first line, until the soft line break, so many of the links don't work. I have set it for no hyphenation... have selected the URL and made it a "hyperlink from URL"... In some cases that works and in some cases it doesn't, and I can't figure out why. What am I missing? Thank You.

I am working in CS5 (it says version 7) - it was acting just as you describe.
I got mine to work every time by doing this:
I paste the link into the inDesign document. I make sure it has the www and everything,
but it doesn't appear to need the http:// in the front of it.
Then I carefully highlight it (careful not to pick up an extra space before or after).
Then I go to the TYPE menu, select HYPERLINKS & CROSS REFERENCES
and from the pop-out CREATE NEW HYPERLINK from URL.
This works.
I have found if I need to change it I have to delete the whole area and start over, but it gets me there.
I found if I use the global command right below that I also get into trouble trying to change things later.
Hope it helps you!

Problem in calculation with web analysis

Hi, Experts..
Here is an interesting quetion...with Web Analysis
I need to calculate mat ov/kg for a site which is obatained by (total value/total volume). When i went for calculation option in analysis tool manager and apply formula this,It is taking for only one site calculation not happening for the other sites.Totally we have 60 sites with us and would not be flexible to calculate it individually.
Is there any possibility to run calc scripts...in web analysis... or how to solve this problem?

It might be because you have set up the 60 sites individually within the Web Analysis grid? We had some difficulty when first using Web Analysis and needed to put the calculations at the highest level using the calc manager. You also have to be careful if there are lots of columns, due to the way the calculation manager applies calcs and formats due to the inheritance.
Another option would be to push the calculation back to the cube, which is best practice as it's easier, more scalable for deployments.

Design-Time Data with external url linking

I have a data list here:
http://facetmedia.com/new/
In the portfolio section I would like to make links which are clickable for the portfolio items. I now know how to use Flex Builder to make external URL links for regular buttons. What I don't know is how to edit this data list to create external links. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi trancepriest,
First, if you haven't already, you probably want to read some of the other posts here about creating a URL link button. Once you've tried doing that and feel comfortable setting up a simple URL link in a test project, then you can move on to integrating this functionality into your list.
Now -- the rest depends on how the data is represented in your list. From some of your other posts here, it actually sounds like you're no longer using a list at all, but rather just a tall layout of hardcoded items set inside a scrolling viewport. If this is the case, you can just repeat the simple button creation you did above, placing all the buttons in the appropriate places in your tall layout (on top of / next to each distinct "item" in the layout).
If you're still using a Data List with a Repeated Item, then the initial setup will be a little bit more tricky, but it will save you time in the long run since you only have to set up one button (which will then be repeated for each item). Here's how:
Find the "dataProvider" tag in the code.
Inside that will be a series of "Object" tags listing your current list data. Add a new "url" attribute to each tag, e.g. url="http://www.adobe.com".
Edit the Repeated Item's definition (in the source code, find the itemRenderer attribute on the List tag and ctrl+click it).
Create your URL link button inside there. But -- instead of typing in the URL as a string in quotes (as seen in other examples in this forum), use data.url to refer to the url attribute you added in step 2.
Hope that helps!

Send Mail with Long URL - Link getting split w/CR/LF in Email

I am using a send mail step and including a long URL so that the user can
access an Iview directly from the URL Link. The URL which is about 250 characters long is getting split across multiple lines in the MS Outlook Email therby losing the link (only the first line underlined). I am loading the container element contianing the link from a standard text and appending the necessary IView parmater to the end. I tried enclosing my URL within an href but that did not work wither. My current workaround is to code my own method
which sends the email but would rather using the standard Send Mail Step.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Cant find firefox url link window on my laptop. it just pops up the tab but with no URL link window. Help

when i open a new tab on my firefox page, it doesn't bring up the URL link window as well hence making the use of Zotero impossible.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

Problems running Application with Web Service Client

Im having some problems maybe related to some classpath details?
I am running a Web Service another computer which works fine. I have also made an application using Sun ONE Studio 1 consisting of a Web Service Client etc. and GUI which uses the Client to get data from the Web Service. This works fine as long as I use Sun ONE Studio to execute the application, but now I have packaged the application to a .jar file and have encountered problems:
When running the application from the .jar file I get the exception:

I have searched the forum and found simular topics which are resolved by adding some lines to the classpath.
How do I set the classpath? Do i have to use the classpath parameter from command window? How can I know which classpaths to include (libraries)..
Any help would be nice.. : )

Thank you for the reply..
But im still geting the same error. I have tried to include all the libraries in JWSDP pack but still.. I have managed to narrow down the place where the error occures.. It actually happens when I try to get the WebService Client Servant which is located in the package LSC:
---> LSC.LWServiceGenClient.LWS_Impl service = new LSC.LWServiceGenClient.LWS_Impl();
LSC.LWServiceGenClient.LWSServantInterface lagerServiceServant = LSC.LWServiceGenClient.LWSServantInterface_Stub)service.getLWSServantInterfacePort();
return lagerServiceServant;
Could something be wrong with the way I package the Jar? I'm using Sun One Studio and have tried including the 5 packages the application consists of; I have tried including just the files; moving the main class to <root>.. Still same problem..
Or could there be some different fundemental thingy I have forgotten ??
thanks

Trouble adding a web url link to an existing file: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:

Hi There,
We're trying to add a simple link to an existing Flash file. There looks to be at least 7 separate .as files and a separate swf that loads the main swf which all seems overly complex for what is essentially a page with six buttons on it.
However, we need to add a URL to some of the text. So we converted the text to a button, added an instance name of <ssbpurchasetickets_btn> then added the following Actionscript into the actions layer on the frame the text/button appears:
ssbpurchasetickets_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ssbButtonPurchase);
function ssbButtonPurchase(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.url.com/tickets.html"));
When we publish the file we get the following error which seems to cascade into a whole bunch more errors:
Description: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent.
Source: function ssbButtonPurchase(event:MouseEvent):void
We added "ssb" onto the button and functions to ensure there were no conflicts but the same thing occurred. If we copy the button into a new file everything works so it must be conflicting with something in the main files.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!!!
Cheers

Thanks for the reply Ned,
The file is set to use AS3 and I'm pretty sure the original should be set to AS3 as the .as files look like AS3 syntax to me - here's a sample:
protected function handleWwrdButtonClick(e:ButtonEvent):void {
Browser.open(globalVar.xml.wwrd.item[0].@url, globalVar.xml.wwrd.item[0].@target);
OmnitureTracker.trackFeaturedContentClick('http://www.url.com/movies/international', 'wwrd_button');
timer.stop();
timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
I'm wondering if all the Actionscript has be placed into one of the .as files as there isn't any Actionscript in the Flash project - a part from the odd stop()
Really stuck on this one (I'm not an expert at all) so any help in deciphering the project would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Dashboard with Webi Report link - Cannot access external data

Dear Gurus,
I've a dashboard with access to WEBI report for Language setting.
All works fine for the group: Administrators.
If I take the Users out of the Adminstrators group and assign them normal power user group, I get the message that the external data cannot be accessed. No Error # or so is displayed.
Even if I grant the usergroup Full Control / Power User on the
Universe,
the Connection
Dashboard itself,
WEBI Application
Webservices
Still it does not work.
As far as I can see is, that it can't be a Network (Firewall)-Problem, because it works for the memebers of the Adminstration groups - What else can it be?
I've attached the screen shot for your reference
Cannot find service name=WS_Lang_Pref or you do not have the rights to view this service.

Hi Guys,
This error is fixed by maintaining the security profile for
"Web Service Query"

I've tried everything... problem in CS5 with previewing mode.

I hope someone can help me. I have tried everything, I am pretty new to Flash CS5 and am using ActionScript 3.0 to create buttons, every time I preview or even insert my clip into Dreamweaver it just flashes and flashes. On the timeline everything looks correct for up, over, down & hit, so I am pretty sure it's nothing within the button.. are there any settings for this... or suggestions of what I could be doing wrong?? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been hurting my head for days with this so I figured it was time to seek help

From your description, it sounds like the Flash file is looping. Flash will do that unless you tell it to stop at the end of the timeline. Add a layer to the timeline, go the last frame of the movie, and add a keyframe in this new layer. Select the keyframe, open the actions window and add stop(); to the actions. Now your movie won't loop.

Looking for help-DVD with web/email links

Hall writes...
"snip...DVD@ccess is actually quite limited and not entirely compatible with the range of DVD playback software/hardware available on a PC... you might be better off using eDVD from Sonic (which is PC software, making use of the Interactual Player, rather than @ccess)."
I've no experience with Sonic yet but there is a small project in Chicago that needs help immediately. I'm looking for leads to pass on.
[email protected]
Thanks

Well, there's the rub.
If you use DVD@ccess then pretty much every Mac will run the software easily enough, but you have to install it on a PC and even then it doesn't work as it should in a lot of cases.
If you use eDVD then PCs will almost certainly already have the player installed (since it is a far more ubiquitous piece of software than @ccess, and is used by a high number of commercial discs already in circulation), but you'll need to install the Interactual player on the Mac...
There are probably going to be far less Mac users than PC users - which might indicate that you go for eDVD and a more PC friendly solution.
But don't be fooled - eDVD is not the saviour that we all hope it will be. There are still issues on some PCs with it, and as you have already found, some issues on a Mac as well. The thing to consider is whether the eDVD solution gives more compatibility overall with your target users than DVD@ccess will.
You could opt for a more simple solution and just place the documents that you want included into a ROM folder on the disc, then use a menu to explain what's there and how to get to it.
The strong advantage here is that you'd have to create that menu anyway for those who view the disc in a set top player, and you are also not trying to post edit your files (as eDVD requires) or use software that simply isn't good enough on PCs (as @ccess seems to be).
It may be a less elegant and less gimmicky option, but I'll bet hardly any of your users will know the difference anyway...

Issue with creating URL links with variable

Hi,
I'm trying to create a drill down report. This is the link I got for my Detail Report, I took it from the SHARE REPORT LINK and I chose CURRENT PAGE:
bidev:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bipublisherEntry&Action=open&itemType=.xdo&bipPath=%2FTEST%2F00-TEST_REPORT.xdo&bipParams={"_xmode":"2"}
I have a bind variable in my DATA MODEL called P_CREATED.
How do I pass the a value so that when the reports open, it will used that variable.
I found this on a blog: http://bipconsulting.blogspot.ca/2010/02/drill-down-to-detail-or-another-report.html
But somehow, his link is pretty different from mine.
Thanks

From various blogs and forums, it seems that the address, coming from the 10g version and the 11g version, are different.
Ex from 10g:
1) http://knishida-lap.us.oracle.com:9704/bip/Data/Trend by Country/Trend by Country.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=0&_xdo=%2FData%2FTrend%20by%20Country%2FTrend%20by%20Country.xdo&p_country=USA&_xt=Trend%20Chart&_xf=html&_xmode=0
2) http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/Country_Name/Country_Name.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=0&_xdo=%2FCountry_Name%2FCountry_Name.xdo&P_COUNTRY_REGION=Asia_xt=Country_Name&_xf=html&_xmode=4
And this is what I got from 11g:
http://bidev:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bipublisherEntry&Action=open&itemType=.xdo&bipPath=%2FTEST%2F00-TEST_REPORT.xdo&bipParams={"_xmode":"2"}

URL link is visible instead text in pdf OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7

I used formula column with GO URL link in the analysis.

I set the column format to @[HTML].
Links work fine.
Customer would like to print this analysis in pdf. I get hyperlink instead
value of column after print and export to pdf. Page is ok after print and export to html.
Please advice

HTML Tags Showing when you Print or Export to PDF from a Report or Dashboard is a long known bug. Oracle don't have a solution and its anticipated to be fixed in 11.1.1.7. For more information refer: bug 5747757 or ID 1064060.1.

URL link

I would like to know if anyone knows if it is possible to display a status message which would also create a link such as how the current iTunes track works.
This way I could put up a message with a url link.
-Thanks

Hi Alfeo,
No. AIM stopped them some time ago as they were being used maliciously.

URL Link works 1st time only

I created a report that displays a document name with a URL link to the document. 1st time to access it, works fine in both IE and Firefox, but the second time accessed, it hangs.
The only "unique" thing I am doing is wrapping the anchor in a paragraph tag with a title for the paragraph so that it displays a short description on mouse over. Seems like when I wasn't using the paragraph it worked every time.
I am using the following query for the report:
select '<p title="' || short_description || '">' ||
*'<a href="' || content_url || '" target="_blank">' ||*
content_title || '</a&rt;</p&rt;' content
from program_content
an example generated is:
<p title="One page list 5 reasons to standardize / purchase CRM OD for internal use.">Top 5 Reasons to Standardize on CRM OD</p>
Any ideas on why this doesn't work on a second access?
Thanks,
Stephen

Hello
I think the usage of paragraph should be eliminated.
You need to use title in A tag

Simple question: calling URL link with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT is not working

Hi folks,
this should be an easy question, but I have no idea why it's not working :-(.
In one of my form, I would like to place an URL link behing button.
For this purpose I'm using below code:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://www.google.com','_blank');But when above code is executed, nothing happens :-(.
Could it be because I'm using it within modal type of window?
Thanks,
Tomas
I'm using Oracle Forms 10g

have you checked with using self instead of blank to see if it will replace your current page with the one you are tyring to call?
Have you got any other firefox plugins running such as Ad block? can you try disabaling all addons and even the internal pop-up blocker jus to see if this will work?
if self works but blank does not how about having the main app called from a multi frame page. one frame with the app in and the other frame with some javascript that can be called to open a new window? dont know if that will work and its late so probably not thought it thorugh fully :)
