Problem Viewing Multimedia in CHM

It seems as though viewing multimedia in a CHM file generated with RH9 or RH10 is broken. I have a project that was originally created with RH7 or RH8. It's been upgraded to RH9. Today, I noticed that an SWF file embedded in a help topic is not working in the compiled CHM. It's works in the Viewer in the project. Others seem to be having similar issues. I haven't seen any definitive answers posted. What does Adobe have to say?

I'll try to better explain
Things got really confusing with the advent of commonplace 64 bit operating systems. The CHM file may now be displayed using either a 32 bit version of the CHM viewer or the 64 bit version. So the trick is to ensure you have the latest Flash player for each version.
When you launch a CHM file by double-clicking it, you are likely running the 64 bit version of the CHM viewer. As this relies on the 64 bit version of Microsoft Internet Explorer, you need to ensure you are running the latest Flash ActiveX control for that version.
The link below should assist with the IE stuff.
Version of IE 32 bit or 64 bit? - How can I tell which version I - Microsoft Community
Personally, I'd test two ways. Immediately after compiling the CHM file, click the button RoboHelp offers that runs it. Does the content load then? Also double-click the CHM and test that way.
I'm not sure about the most recent versions of RoboHelp, but at one point it would always launch the 32 bit version of the viewer. So you would see different results depending on whether RoboHelp was opening the CHM file and using the 32 bit viewer or whether you double-clicked the CHM file and caused the 64 bit viewer to load up.
Sorry to be so confusing. It's a muddy issue!
Cheers... Rick

Problem viewing some webpages

Hey
Looking for some help with my macbook. I have been having problems viewing videos on youtube and i'm unsure of the problem. When i try to view a video it comes up with this message.
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
Also youtube doesn't look right. It looks like it is all in some kind of basic format with no graphics, ads, pictures etc. (Im not particularly computer savvy)
I've checked my all the settings are correct in preferences, i've updated flash player and made sure all other software is up to date and still no joy!
I had no important data on my macbook so i wiped it and reinstalled the OS and updated everything again, it still hasn't sorted the problem.
Im unsure what to do next, any ideas would be much appreciated.
PS i recently had someone's external hard drive plugged in to it, could i have got some virus from this??

Thanks for the swift reply greg.
I assumed it probably was not a virus but i thought i'd check anyway. Thats pretty much the reason i bought a mac.
I checked the preferences and JavaScript was already enabled and all other boxes checked also. It only seems to be youtube thats the problem so far although i have not been on many other websites since.
My internet connection is not particularly fast, i am using my college wifi network and it can often be very slow. I usually need to let videos load for a couple of minutes before i can watch.
I have had the Macbook for about a week and have been using it regularly. The problem only started yesterday. I also carried out all my apple updates yesterday, i'm not sure if this is what has led to the problem??

Problem viewing forms.This form is not supported with the current version of Adobe Reader.Upgrade to the latest version for full support. That does that mean exactly?

Problem viewing forms.This form is not supported with the current version of Adobe Reader.
Upgrade to the latest version for full support.
What exactly do I need to do?

That means you were probably using Adobe Acrobat to view PDF's. Acrobat is totally unnessary, you can view PDF's in Preview (Applications - Preview).
BTW PLEASE complete your profile. It's very difficult to help someone when they don't provide any information about their system. You can easily do this by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right of this page, then click Profile and fill in the pertinent information.

Problems viewing songs in Zen Mi

Hi all!
I just bought a Zen Micro but have problems viewing the list of songs that I have transferred from MediaSource to the Micro. After I have done a sync, the list of songs do not appear on my Micro at all. I only get an empty screen with the words 'selected music' on the screen but I can't select anything because the songs are not there!
Do the songs take a while before they appear on the screen even if the transfer from PC to Micro is successful? Must I switch off and switch on my Micro before things work? Am I the only person who faces this problem? Could I have done something wrongly?
Please help. Thank you!
ijev

mmm, have you been reading any manual or so?
Sounds a bit like you are looking at the "Now Playing" screen, without music selected. In that case indeed, the screen says : "go pick some music".
What you do in that case is use the 'back' button, to get to the main menu, and then navigate to your "Music Library", and then on from there.
So either you still have to learn to use the user interface, or I misinterpretated, and there is something oddly wrong with your player

Problems viewing forms in reader - easy fix using adobe send?

My colleagues and I were having problems viewing and printing data in forms. Went to the help forums and apparently it is caused by someone filling in a .pdf form on a mac - it corrupts the file. I saw a lot of fixes suggested including a javascript for acrobat, but I only use reader, not the full acrobat, so none of them seemed to work for me.
However, I think the easiest way to fix one of these forms is to use adobe send. If I take the corrupted form and send it to an email address using adobe send instead of sending it as an email attachment, it seems to fix the form and make the data visible again. Have done it with a couple of forms now and it seems to work.
Now my question is, does anyone know why this works?

I don't think so. The problem there seems to be not being able to save the filled out form in Reader and needed to Extend features in Adobe Reader so that Reader users can save the form. This isn't quite the same.
My client can edit the form and save it. The problem seems to be needing to edit the saved and filled out form AGAIN.

Problem viewing Japanese characters in Excel sent via Email attachment

Hi All
I am using FM '''SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'' to send out an e-mail attachment (Excel file). I am able to receive the Excel file successfully. However I am not able to display the Japanese characters properly in my Excel file.
I tried to display some Japanese characters in my e-mail contents and I have no problem viewing these characters in my e-mail (I am using MS Outlook 2003). These statements becomes something illegible when I transfer it over to Excel as an attachment. In my Internal Table, these characters are displayed correctly as well.
Anyone has any advice to solve this issue?
Thanks for your replies.

Hi Divya,
refer to the link below:
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/reporting/email/attach_xls.htm
The code in this demonstrates how to send an email to an external email addresswhere the data is stored within a .xls attachment.
Hope this helps.

Problem viewing Apple website

Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem viewing
http://www.apple.com ?
I suspect I know what is going on, but would like some
verification that the page is trying to load a quicktime
clip in H.264.
Regards,
genec

I am using Windows XP Home SP2 and QuickTime 7.1.
When I try to go to http://www.apple.com
Internet Explorer 6 SP 1 crashes. So does Firefox.
The problem is, I suspect, that my computer does not meet
the minimum requirements for H.264.
I do note that the requirements for Quicktime 7 are:
Windows XP (got that)
a pentium computer (AMD K6-2 500)
and 128MB ram (have 384MB)
I have downloaded the stand alone install for Quicktime 7.1
I have the latest version of direct X and have checked for
video driver updates (none available.
So basically, I have done everything on the Quicktime
support site and it will not work.
I tried to view the WWDC, and got a Microsoft Visual C++
Runtime Library error....Bufer Overrun Detected.
I am working that issue with Microsoft.
Any further light you can shed on this would be most appreciated.

Problem view TIFF multipage images with ECL Viewer 5.1.3

Dear All,
using the SAPGUI 710 and CV04N, I cannot view the same TIFF multipage image twice in ECL Viewer, the second time, the first time every thing is ok, but the second time the SAPGUI display the error : "File C:Docume1dupondLOCALS1TempZEP_0457895 cannot be created"
To view again the TIFF mulitpage image, I need to kill the sapLogon.exe process and relaunch it again.
It seams the TIFF image file is locked by the the saplogon.exe process the first time and on the second time, SAP cannot rewrite the temporay TIFF image file.
Notes:
- I use CV04N or CV03N to view the documents.
- This problem doesn't happends with non multipage TIFF image.
- Tested on more than 20 computers.
- Computers are with Windows XP SP2 + SAP GUI 7.10 Compilation 2 + SP9 + SP12 + - ECL Viewer 5.1.3 (integrated with Comp 2)
How can I fix this problem ?
Thank you for your help
I think this is not the correct forum to post this king of problem, i create the same post on
Expert Forums » Application Server » SAP GUI » [Problem view TIFF multipage images with ECL Viewer 5.1.3|;

Can you upgrade the ECL viewer to version 6.0 and check whether the same problem still exists? you can download from service.sap.com

Problems viewing CNN videos

Is it only me? With both Firefox and Safari, whenever I view a video on the CNN.com website, it is terrible. It just shutters and the audio is shaky. Even if I wait for the whole video to download before pressing play, I get the same problem. This has been happening for a long time, with many different versions of Firefox, starting in 2.x and still in 3.x. I never have any problems viewing YouTube video or any QuickTime videos, it is ONLY on the CNN.com website. I have contacted them several times (contact us) and complained, but I have never received a reply.
I just want to make sure it isn't my machine. I have a pretty good system with plenty of RAM, etc.
Thanks.

Hello,
I've never had an problems viewing CNN video/audio on Safari 3.1.2 (Tiger 10.4.11).
In Safari, from the Menu Bar, select Help/Installed Plug-Ins and make sure you have the following plugin: Shockwave Flash 9.0 r151 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”. You can do a quick search of plugins by pressing Command + F in that plug in window and type in Flash in the search field. If it's there, it will be highlighed.
If not, go here and download the Safari Flash plugin: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/
If you already have the Flash plugin, perhaps you need to do some maintenance on your Mac? If you don't have a disk utility to clean out caches, run routine maintenance and cleaning scripts... get Onyx here: http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html It's free, easy to download and install and use.
Also, check your available drive space as BDAqua suggested. Right or control click your MacintoshHD icon, then click: Get Info In the Get Info click the black arrow next to General so it faces down. You will see: Capacity and Available. Make sure your Mac has a minimum of 10% free disk space, 15% is better. Not enough disk space and video/audio, applications.. will crash/free... in general, erratic behavior.

Problems viewing form

Hi,
I created a form using LiveCycle and sometimes I have problems viewing the data. The text fields are blank and if I click my mouse in the field the text shows up then if I click out of the field it goes away. If I click into the field and type a space then the text remains visible. Sometimes the radio buttons do not display as I created them. It displays a circle inside the box instead of just the box.
These problems only happen on some of the returned forms. Also, some people say they cannot save the data even though they are saving the form to thier hard drive first. At least that is what I tell them to do.
Thanks for any help on this!

OK,
Last shot at this:
AcroForm with document level javascript to populate a field with viewer type, version and variation. For example, this populates as "This AcroForm is open in Exchange-Pro, version 9.302. The variation is Full" in Acrobat Pro 9.
Update button that increases a counter by 1 and repopulates the viewer type, version and variation field.
This works in Acrobat and Reader. For example Reader comes up with "This AcroForm is open in Reader, version 9.301. The variation is Reader", which is correct.
However in Preview it is evident that document level script do not work, as the viewer type, version and variation do not update.
Also Javascript in a mouseUp event does not work, as the update button does not advance the counter nor update the viewer type, version or variation.
Lastly simple calculation script (javascript) does not work, see the quantity/price calculation.
This form is 100% AcroForm and even simple functionality does not work in Preview. I wouldn't trust Preview as far as I could throw it!!

Problem viewing photos in PE Organiser

Desperately need help with a problem viewing my pics in PE 9 Organiser. Many (most) of my photos will not display properly - instead, in their frames are yellow (?)'s in the upper left hand corner and blue (?)'s in the center. That is the situation whether I am in the "thumbnail" display or the "import batch" mode of "Display".
Strangely, I have used a number of these photos in an album recently and they displayed perfectly then.
Anyone have a clue???
Thanks tons.
Sam

Saurabhh:
It seems you are absolutely right on about the missing files. My only problem now is to figure how to restore about sixty
photos to the links -- maybe I should just delete the links?
I have another problem whch you may be able to help me with if you don't mind. I've discovered that my DVD Player only recognizes .jpg or .mpg format and my Photo Elements wants to create the slideshows in .wmv. Any suggestion sfor changing that.
Thanks

HELP! Problem viewing Youtube videos.

Hello,
I am having problems viewing Youtube videos. Everything was great until the other day. I have not changed anything on my computer to create this problem.
Diagnosis:
when viewing videos straight from youtube.com with Safari, it loads and starts to play the video & audio. after the first second the visual video disappears and the audio keeps playing. I can scroll throughout the video, but no picture.
I do not understand, I have updated everything and still same outcome. It was working the other day fine and then boom, no video. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Thank you for you help,
B

Sounds like a problem with Flash. I'd recommend visiting Adobe's web site and updating to the most current version for OS X.

Viewing PDF or CHM (compiled HTML) files in a JEditorPane (Editorkit av.?)

I want to view PDF or CHM files in a JEditorPane, for example for use in JavaHelp. Does anybody know if there is a free EditorKit available for viewing at least one of these two kinds of files (especially for PDF), or if it is possible to "plug" the Adobe Acrobat reader into a JEditorPane???

a usuful url, but I'am afraid this is not the answer for the question :)
as far as I know, either Sun or other third vendor does not provide the toolkit for PDF
or CHM viewing in JEditorPane.
