Problems creating rich symbols

I followed the step to create a rich symbol, when I get to
the create symbol script, I browse to common library/custom
symbols, I click plus, but there is no info in the element name
box, I can not type it in, can not contine from that point as it
will not continue further without an element name, any idea what
step I probably missed?

Hi Terry - Make sure the objects in the layer have unique
names. For example, creating a rectangle is called rectangle by
default. Change the name to something specific like "upstate"
instead of "rectangle". Also make sure you do not have spaces
(whitespace) in the object name.

Not remembering 9-slice guide placement for rich symbols

Y'all,
I'm learning to create rich symbols in the new FW CS3, and
I'm having some difficulty with the 9-slice guides. I create the
rich symbols, enable 9-slice scaling, save them to the common
library, and generate the accompanying JSF file. Then I drag the
new symbol onto the canvas, double-click to edit it, position the
9-slice scaling guides, and click DONE. The rich symbol now behaves
properly for all instances in the current document.
However, when I open a new document and drag the rich symbol
onto the canvas, the position of the 9-slice guides has reverted to
the default placement. The positions that I defined for the guides
in the previous document do not seem to be saved with the master
rich symbol.
I've looked at other rich symbols (that come with FW CS3) and
see that the scaling guides are clearly positioned and that those
positions are remembered and stored with the master symbol.
How do I get FW CS3 to remember the placement of the 9-slice
scaling guides for my custom rich symbols so that I do not need to
edit and place the guides EVERY time I open a new document? I've
tried to look through the help documentation, and I've searched
online and the forums here, but I haven't found any instructions
for creating rich symbols that remember the 9-slice scaling guide
placement.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

OK, I figured it out over the weekend:
When you define the 9-slice guides for the rich symbol, they
are only applied to the symbol instance(s) in the current document,
so you need to go to the Assets > Library panel, select the rich
symbol, then go to the options menu and choose "Save to Common
Library", then browse to the rich symbol filename. You will be
asked if you want to overwrite the existing symbol file, and yes,
you should. The placement of the 9-slice guides defined as defined
in the current document will now be saved to the rich symbol master
file, and the placement of the guides will be preserved and used
for future instances of that rich symbol in new documents.
Seems kind of odd that there are multiple disjointed steps to
create a rich symbol: draw it, save it, define the JSF script, save
it, define 9-slice guide placement, save it. If I check "Enable
9-slice guides" when I save it initially, shouldn't FW CS3 insert a
step asking me to define their placement before I save the rich
symbol to the common library?
Just a thought.

Creating a symbol from shape with gaussian blur = problem

I am trying to create artwork to map to a globe using the 3D revolve effect...the problem is the shape/layer I'm using to create the "glow" effect (compound path filled with white and a gaussian blur applied):
When I create a symbol out of this, here is the problem (note the "excess" areas on the top and right):
...resulting in this messed up globe...
Doing an outer glow effect instead of gaussian blur results in the same thing (its definitely the blur causing this, deleting the shape fixes the problem). Expanding the shape with the blur results in an image the same size as the bounding box in image 2 above. Any ideas how to address this?
thx

Yep, that did it! (something strange going on now with the longitude/latitude lines going thru India, but I'll work on that later)...Thank you!

Script to insert an existing Rich symbol throws error

I have an existing Rich Symbol called RSymbol. Now I write a script to place RSymbol into a certain layer which create. The problem is, that everytime i import a symbol like this with
fw.getDocumentDOM().importFile(fw.appSymbolLibrariesDir+"RSymbol.graphic.png", {left:136, top:108, right:136, bottom:108}, false, 0, false);
Fw doesnt import the properties for this symbol and throws an error "Component graphic or script edited An error occured"
I also tried to put the rich symbol in the appSwfCommandsDir but it didnt work either. I guess the problem could be that the RSymbol isnt in the Common Library folder. appSymbolLibrariesDir doesnt point to the common library folder but to some other folder (Adobe Fireworks CS5\Configuration\Libraries).
I also tried to use fw.getDocumentDOM().importFile(fw.appSettingsDir+"/Common Library/... but it doesnt work either.
I want to use this script in a panel so I cant hard code the absolute path.
Any suggestions how to import a rich symbol and make the rich properties available?
Thanks a lot!

Sadly, I don't think there's any way to programmatically insert a rich symbol while maintaining its "richness". I tried and failed to do that in my QuickFire extension: http://johndunning.com/fireworks/about/QuickFire
The best I could do was to insert the symbol in a way that if you had already dragged that symbol from the common library into the document, the new instance would still show something in the symbol properties panel. Here's the code that QuickFire uses to insert symbols:
function insertSymbol(
     inSymbolName,
     inPath)
     var dom = fw.getDocumentDOM();
     var middleX = Math.round(dom.width / 2);
     var middleY = Math.round(dom.height / 2);
     try {
               // first assume the symbol is already in the library and try to
               // insert an instance. there doesn't seem to be an API to list
               // the symbols in the document, so we just have to try it.
          dom.insertSymbolAt(inSymbolName, {
               x: middleX,
               y: middleY
     } catch (exception) {
               // replace the user or app JS directory path tokens with the
               // actual path, so that importSymbol will find it below
          inPath = inPath.replace(/^:U:/, k.UserSymbolsPath).replace(/^:A:/, k.AppSymbolsPath);
               // the symbol isn't in the document yet, so import it. we use
               // importFile instead of importSymbol because the former seems
               // to preserve some magic that allows you to turn it back into a
               // rich symbol if you later drag the same symbol from the Common
               // Library into the doc and replace existing instances.
          dom.importFile(inPath, {
               left: middleX,
               right: middleX,
               top: middleY,
               bottom: middleY
          }, true);
// this is a failed attempt to import a rich symbol.
               // the jsf filename doesn't include the .graphic bit
          var jsfPath = inPath.replace(/\.(graphic|animation|button)\.png$/, ".jsf");
          if (Files.exists(jsfPath)) {
                    // to change the opCode, so that the rich symbol's jsf file
                    // will give it the default values, we need to create a proxy
                    // Widget object. but first save off the actual Widget.
               var _Widget = Widget;
               Widget = {
                         // we want this to be opCode 1, which will set the symbol's
                         // default values
                    opCode: 1,
                         // the symbol we just imported is Widget.elem
                    elem: fw.selection[0],
                    propString: _Widget.propString,
                         // pass these method calls on to the real Widget
                    GetObjectByName: function()
                         return _Widget.GetObjectByName.apply(_Widget, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0));
                    isWidgetSelected: function()
                         return _Widget.isWidgetSelected.apply(_Widget, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0));
                    UpdateWidget: function()
                         return _Widget.isWidgetSelected.apply(_Widget, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0));
               fw.runScript(jsfPath);
                    // reset the global to the real Widget object
               Widget = _Widget;
Hope that helps.

Rich Symbol Contents don't update properly

Hi Fireworks people,
I have a Rich Symbol in which you can type text and set a few properties. Saving works but sometimes when there are many instances of this Rich Symbol in a document only parts of the entered text are displayed on the stage. In the symbol properties the text is still there.
It looks like the Rich Symbol doesnt update properly for some reason. Is there a way to "refresh" the symbols to show the full text from the symbol properties on stage as well?
I thought by calling the applyCurrentCalues() function of the Rich Symbol, Widget.UpdateWidget or smth like that. BUt the documentation on these methods as well as other properties of the Widget Object isnt sufficient!
In some cases when many Rich Symbols with text are on stage the text is even lost. Its visible in the symbol props but wrapped in a new line(red outline in image). You cant access the text anymore and have to re-create the symbol.(see screenshot) and an error is shown (blue outline)
I guess the second problem is some sort of bug but maybe someone has a tip/trick/advice for the first problem, to update the Rich symbol.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Matt

Pagemaker is old software, it was designed for use when fonts were quite limited. It will only display the first 256 characters in a font. Modern fonts have moved way beyond this limitation. The solution is to stick with older fonts, or to upgrade to indesign. It does sound like your souvenir font could be corrupted, running font management software is a good practice no matter what program you use.

Why won't rich symbol properties show when the .jsf file exists?

In FW CS4 I've created a rich symbol via the "create symbol script" command, then I reloaded my common library, and put the symbol from common librray on a page. Even though I have a .jsf file in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\Common Library\Custom Symbols to match my symbol, there are no symbol properties available for it on my page.
I can use the create symbol script command again on this symbol & it comes up with the same properties I had already defined.
What would stop symbol properties from showing up when the symbol is taken from a recently reloaded Common Library & placed on a page?
I've discovered that I can see the properties when I use this symbol in a totally brand new Fireworks file, but I can't in an existing file that ever had that same symbol before, even when I tell FW to "Replace the existing item."
Below is my jsf file contents.
Thanks!

Solution Found: I had to explicitly delete the existing copy in my orginal FW file even though when I used the one from the common library I told it to "Replace the existing item" I guess the replace doesn't really work for rich symbols. After I deleted the symbol with the same name from the document library & pulled in the one from Common Library, it showed its rich symbol properties.

Problem Creating Hyperlink to another workbook

I am having a problem creating a hyperlink to a worksheet in another workbook.
Here is what I have done:
Created the master and detail reports in 2 different workbooks.
Executed the master worksheet to display the data
Right clicked the field in the first row where I want to create the hyperlink, and chose Manage Links
Clicked the New Link button
Chose Worksheet for Where do you want to link to?
Clicked Browse by the Destination Worksheet
Clicked the detail report from the list of workbooks but the select button is grayed out
Does anyone have any idea why it won't let me select the detail report to link to?
I have OracleBI Discoverer Plus 10g
Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Yes, I did add a parameter to the detail report so that I could get detail just for that one item. The part that is giving me trouble is specifying the Destination workbook/worksheet. I see the detail report when I browse but the Select button is grayed out so I haven't made it to the part where you identify what values to pass to the detail report yet.

I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to iCloud, following your instructions and now I can not use my mobileme e-mail address. How can I contact directly with Apple, not just an automatic reply phone number

I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.

Can I Create A Symbolic Link to folders stored on an SMB Share folder?

Hello,
I am very new to Unix and was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction with regards to Symbolic links and an SMB share folder ....
Have purchased an ext. LAN Drive enclosure (http://www.macpower.com.tw/products/hdd3/pleiades/pd_usblan) which connects to my wireless router via ethernet like my G5 (main Mac) - our iBook connects via Airport. I have copied all my general documents/files to the SMB share folder on the ext. drive so that I can access them from the G5 and also the iBook.
However I'd also like to be able to store my actual Mail folder (/Users/Mark/Library/Mail/), , Safari folder (/Users/Mark/Library/Safari) + my Address Book and other folders sitting in the Application Support folder on my SMB share so all important docs/folders are in the one place. I've tried storing these folders on the SMB share and putting an Alias to these back in Users/Mark/Library/Mail etc but of course an Alias doesn't work.
Question 1: Can I create a symbolic link to these files if these are stored on an SMB share folder? If so, could you please tell me exactly what I'd need to type into Terminal? My SMB Share path is smb://STORAGE-XXXX/MARK
I have copied my iPhoto library and iTunes library to the SMB share and are working fine.
Question 2: Is it possible/worth attempting to move my whole home folder to the SMB share folder? Ideally, I'd like to be able to access my Mail from the iBook as well. If I could log into either the G5 or the iBook and access my latest Mail, Address Book and other Application Settings, that would be perfect. Would this be possible?
Thanks
Mark.

Dear Mark,
Yes you can. The command to create a link will look something like this:
$ ln -s thisFolder /Users/mark/thatFolder
I did this while I was hosting a microsoft based game. This put all of the players into a common directory.
SMB just resolved the link and everything worked fine.
However, as I understand it, some other applications do NOT work very well with links. As I have NOT tried it with other applications, I fear I can be of NO help to you in this matter.
The only way to find out which applications work with links is to try them and see what happens.
Best of luck,
Kurt

Problem creating Allocation Table with Reference to a PO

Dear Folks,
I am having problems creating an allocation table with reference to a PO in T-code WA01.
I read the SAP help that some prerequisites need to exist:
==> You can only reference order items flagged as being relevant to a stock split (the Allocation table relevant indicator in the additional item data).
Can anyone advice me where to find this stock split indicator?
Also, can anyone advice me how to reuse an allocation table? For example, I had previously created an allocation table with many articles and various allocation rules. I already generated follow on documents for this table.
Say after 2 weeks, I have the similar requirements that I can make use of the same table, only with minor adjustments to the quantity. How do I create a new allocation table using the existing allocation table data?
Thanks and Regards

Any idea please?

Problem creating Network ACL for a ROLE in Oracle 11gR2

According to Oracle Documentation when you create a new Network ACL you can add privileges to a user or role. I need to create a new ACL for the UTL_SMTP package for a specific role, but when I granted it the users who have that role are still getting the "ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)" error when they try to send an email. If I grant the ACL privilege to the same users directly it works fine. Is there any step I'm missing? This is the test I have made on my Solaris 10 - Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) Standard Edition server:

I'm aware that role privileges doesn't apply inside procedures, functions or packages by default, but this is an anonymous block so it should use the active roles for the user. I also tried adding a "dbms_session.set_role('TESTACL_ROLE');" at the beggining of the anonymous PL/SQL block but I got the same access error.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give to me on this question, it would be very hard to grant the ACL to all the individual users as they are more than 1000, and we create more regularly.

Thanks for your quick reply... I don't have a problem creating the basic ACL with the privileges granted for a user. The problem appears when I try to create an ACL with privileges for a ROLE. You can see here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25788/d_networkacl_adm.htm#BABIGEGG than the official Oracle documentation states that you can assign the ACL principal to be a user or role:
Parameter
Description
acl
Name of the ACL. Relative path will be relative to "/sys/acls".
description
Description attribute in the ACL
principal
Principal (database user or role) to whom the privilege is granted or denied. Case sensitive.
My issue is that when I try to create the ACL for a role it doesn't work.
Have you ever created an ACL for a role? if so please send me an example or let me know which step I might be missing. Cheers.

Problem creating hierarchy based on 2 physical dimension tables

I'm having a problem creating 1 logical dimension with a drill-down hierarchy, based on two separate physical dimension tables. The errors I receive when navigating the drill-down hierarchy is:
"Cannot find logical table source coverage for logical columns" &
"Missing join between logical tables".
I'm using OBIEE 10.1.3.4
Here are the details of what I have setup sofar:
Physical layer:
Dimension table DIM_ORG with columns:
-dimension_key
-org_total_code
-org_total_description
-org_detail_code
-org_detail_description
Dimension table DIM_DEPT with columns:
-dimension_key
-dept_total_code
-dept_total_description
-dept_detail_code
-dept_detail_description
Fact table FACT_SALES with columns:
-fk_org
-fk_dept
-sum_sales
Physical Joins:
FACT_SALES.fk_org = DIM_ORG_dimension_key
FACT_SALES.fl_dept = DIM_DEPT.dimension_key
Business Model & Mapping layer:
I created a logical dimension ORG_DEPT. It contains two logical table sources (DIM_ORG & DIM_DEPT) and the following logical columns:
- All Departments (mapped to dept_total_code)
- Organisation (mapped to org_detail_description)
- Organisation Number (mapped to org_detail_code)
- Department (mapped to dept_detail_description)
- Department Code (mapped to dept_detail_code)
The business logical key is based on the combination of Organisation Number & Department Code
The hierarchy I need is: All Departments -> Organisation -> Department so I created the following hierarchy for ORG_DEPT:
- Total Level containing: All Departments
- Organisation Level containing: Organisation Number (defined as the Logical level key) & Organisation (defined als the Drill level key)
- Detail Department Level containing: Department Code (defined as Logical level key) and Department (defined as Drill level key).
In the LTS of the dimension ORG_DEPT I've set the Content levels for the sources:
DIM_ORG : Organisation Level
DIM_DEPT: Detail Department Level
In the LTS no -inner- joins have been added against related physical tables.
I created a logical fact table SALES (based on the physical fact table) and joined it against the logical dimension table ORG_DEPT.
In the LTS the Content level for ORG_DEPT is set against the Detail Department Level. No - inner- joins have been aded against related physical tables.
When I create a report in Answers to test the hierachy and select only 'All Departments' I get the correct dimension value returned. When I try to drill to the next level I get the following ODBC error:
"Cannot find logical table source coverage for logical columns: [All Departments]. Please check more detailed level keys are mapped correctly".
When I create a report in Answers and select both 'All Departments' and 'Sales' I get the correct result. When I try to drill to the next level I get a different ODBC error:
"Missing join between logical tables DIM_DEPT and DIM_DEPT: There must be at least one physical join link between the underlying physical tables".
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!

Hello Robert,
Your suggestions were known to me but I still wanted to combine the two physical dimension tables in one logical dimension. So I've played around a bit more and found the solution: In my original setup I had two seperate logical table sources (one for each physical dimension table). The solution was to combine the two logical table sources in one logical table source. I achieved that by logical joining the DIM_DEPT table to the FACT_SALES table and subsequently to the DIM_ORG within the 1 LTS and using inner joins.
Then I created the logical table key (a combination of org_detail_code & dept_detail_code). After that I could create the hierarchy with no problem.

GS-12: Creating button symbols | Learn Flash Professional CS5 & CS5.5 | Adobe TV

Create a button symbol from text, a bitmap image, or a vector shape. Define keyframes for the up, over, down, and hit states of the button, and swap out the artwork for the different states.

I am watching the tutorial over "creating button symbols." When it gets to the part where while in the over keyframe you are supposed to click on swap, my properties panel looks different and does not have a swap button. Any suggestions?

Problem Creating VirtualProviders Based on the DTP

Problem Creating VirtualProviders Based on the Data Transfer Process .
(1) I have created an Data Source(extract structure and extractor) on SYS1. Tested the extractor. It returns data as desired.
(2) Then I replicated this Data Source to SYS2.
(3) In SYS1 I created InfoCube(VirtualProvider based on data transfer process for direct access) .
Till this point I have no issues .
(4) But after that I am not able to "Create Data Transfer Process" for this Virtual Infoprovider . When I try to create DTP the DTP type available for selection is "Scheduled" where as per the documentation I need to create DTP of DTP type "DTP for Direct Access".This DTP type I donot see.
Is it a problem with the BW configuration or some user error.Any suggestions which may help would be realy appreciated.

Corrected some typo in my earlier update...
