Project compile to Help

I use italized green text for the hot spot for expanded text
and dropdowns. I have been working on a project for three months
and compile and save a backup every night. However, today a
compiled project makes all my expanded and dropdowns look like
jumps in the Help. They still perform as expected, but the
appearance has changed and not differentiated from the jumps text.
I have selected all topics, edited the assigned the Style Sheet
Appearance assignment and have the same result.
Any ideas??? Thanks

Craig,
I had not made any changes to styles for quite a while (month
or more). When this event occurred, I made several attempts to edit
the topic in the latest work completed before compiling. But each
compile resulted in the same event.
I selected all topics in accordance to the RoboHelp Help,
then Properties Appearances tab. I checked all the bold items and
they were still as original. That is, the Drop-down hotspot and
Expanding hotspot all the same; Hyperlink + color: Green, cursor:
hand; fint-style: italic; x-text-underline: off; x-text-overline:
off; x-text-line-through: off; font-size: 10pt.
Expanding text; SPAN + font-style: italic; font-weight:
normal: color: Teal; font-size: 10pt; x-text-underline: Off;
As a matter of fact I can select the style sheet
(HtmlHelp.css) and make some edits, but the Apply button does not
enable. When I made the last edit prior to my original email, I did
check the original stype sheet. I had two listed in the projects
tab: default.css and HtmlHelp.css. I checked the edits in the
Appearance tab and I do not remember if the Apply button was
active, but I assume that it was since I now only have the
HtmlHelp.css listed in the project tab Syple Sheets folder.
I still get the expanded and drop downs appearing in the
color Blue and underlined just as the Hyperlink.
Any suggestions????
Thanks, Bruce

RoboHelp 9 Will Not Compile Web Help

Windows 7 Professional 640-bit
Microsoft Office 2010
RH 9.0.2.271
I have several projects for which I compile Web help.
Compiling the projects has been no problem in the past.
I have made no known changes to the computer or user rights.
Now, RH stops responding when the compile starts. The stop is very early in the process.
I can compile CHM files.
In Output View, I see the following message:
Initializing complier
Generating Webhelp 5.50 (9.0.0.228)…
Error: Can not register active script for language javascript
Template Error: can not resolve macro: RegisterResolvers
Fata Error: Cannot run macro: Register Resolvers in compilation.
While searching for an answer, I tried the following without success:
Note: I am an administrator on the computer. I have always been an admin on the computer.
I have not uninstalled/reinstalled RH so there should be no issues with administrator privileges.
I ran the RH executable as an administrator using a variety of methods like right-click RoboHTML.exe and click Run as Administrator.
Project is on local drive.
Created a new project.
Compiled the sample projects contained in RH.
Created a new SSL.
Create a new target folder for the output.
Copy the LNG file from the "!Language\<current-project-language>" folder to the project folder.
From the project settings dialog, change the project language to a different language, and then change it back to the current language.
Deleted CPD file.
Deleted !Language! folder.
Word macro security is Enable all macros.
Can anyone help me find something I have not tried.

First I have often found that Deactivate becomes enabled if you wait a while after opening.
Search on these two lines from your first post.
Template Error: can not resolve macro: RegisterResolvers
Fata Error: Cannot run macro: Register Resolvers in compilation.
(Was it really Fata rather then Fatal?)
Maybe you haven't changed rights but have IT done so without your knowledge?

.rft file disappeared after project compiling

Hi Folks,
Yesterday afternoon I was working on a Robohelp project in
word when I finished the project, compiled it and sent the .zip
folder of the entire project to a developer for testing/ review.
This morning, after the developer replied with his comments,
I checked the folder where the .rft file was stored to update the
project. The help project 'start-up' file is no longer present.
However, two previously unseen files have replaced them: a Help
Project File and a Help Contents File. These files are from
'Microsoft Help Workshop'.
Does anyone know what I have done and how I can correct this
issue? What are these Microsoft Help Workshop files? How can I open
the source project to edit things like the Map IDs from here?
Thanks for any help that you're able to give.
Niall.

Welcome to the forum.
I'm guessing you are opening the project by double clicking
the HPJ in Windows Explorer. Open RH first and point to that file.
Sounds like maybe the file association for HPJ needs
changing.

Files for compiling the help

Real newbie to Robosource 3.1. We have our WebHelp project in
Robosource with several technical writers working in the same
project. We all have the project on our hard drives and we did this
by opening robohelp and then selecting the lock icon at the top of
the Open page and downloading the project from Robosource. My
question is, do I use the files on my hard drive to compile the
help. It is my understanding that when I open the project in
RoboHelp, Robosource looks to see what files are the most recent
and then downloads those files to my hard drive.
If that's the case then I am thinking I should compile the
help from my hard drive as long as another user isn't in the
application. Is that correct?
Thanks.

That's more or less the way we do it. We designate a "build
owner" for each project. The build owner is responsible for
downloading the latest files from RSC and generating output. With
multiple writers on a project, having a single build owner is
helpful, especially if there are merged child projects involved in
the mix. The build owner knows what to do, and has everything
configured correctly on his/her machine.
It probably doesn't matter if other writers are in the
project, except that their changes wouldn't be reflected in the
generated output.
I think it's possible to set up command line generation that
grabs the latest files from RSC, but I haven't tried to do that
yet.

I'm getting Crazy I Can't finish this project "Compiling movie, Unknown Error" HELP

I been working on this video for weeks, when I finish, the problems start trying to burn a DVD I can send it to Encore but there is a problem too. I read some of the articles but I don't understad who to check the video clips, took me weeks for editing them, so if I put a new one from the same moves the audio and the sequence. I'm Using a MAC, Premiere Pro CS6 and Canon Camera with XMF files. Thanks in advance
CJ

Make sure you copy the entire folder structure from your camera memory card to your hard drive. Don't try to edit from the card.
Make sure you store your media on a separate physical hard disk from your system disk.
Make sure there is enough room on your system disk or your media disk to store the cache and preview files that Pr generates. Even if there is enough room on your system disk, I recommend moving those files to another hard disk.
Go to Edit>Preferences>Media and click the Clean button to remove your unused cache files and database entries.

RoboHelp 9/10 Java Error Trying to Compile AIR Help Skin

I'm trying to save a custom skin for a RoboHelp 9 project on a Windows 7 64-bit PC using AIR Browser Based Help. When I try to save the skin, or compile it into a SWF, I get the following error:
Error loading: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09\jre\bin\jvm.dll
The dll is located at that path. I tried running RoboHelp as Administrator. I tried editing a new skin with a new clean project and also with a downloaded trial of RoboHelp 10, and I got the same results. Has anyone seen this, or can anyone think of a fix?

Hello hypericon_0090001,
Have you found any fix for this, as I am having the same problem.

Can't Export Movie - Unknown Compile Error - Help!

I edited a 32 minute movie in Premiere Elements 10, and now I'm trying to export it. At some point during the export, and it seems to vary, I get an unknown compile error. I've been trying to export the movie for the past week and all I get is failure despite trying just about everything I've found written about how to solve this.
I have Win 7 Ultimate SP 1 running on a Lenovo desktop machine with an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU at 2.67 GHz, 4GB of RAM, 32 bit proc.
Premiere is installed on system C drive with 6 GB of free space.
Project and scrach disks are on D drive with 165 GB of free space.
Media files are on 2nd E drive with 50GB of free space.
Project and most source material is NTSC DV -- there are quite a few photos with motion, plus some iPhone HD video on the timeline, hundreds of clips in all plus narration, a few titles, etc.
Export destination folder is on D drive.
Everything will render to green lines atop timeline (sometimes it quits during render and I have to keep hitting Enter to continue rendering, but eventually it's all green)
So far I've tried:
- Reinstalling PE 10
- Reinstalling Quicktime
- Copying all the photos to their own separate folder
- Editing each photo slightly (outside of PE 10) and resaving to make sure none of the photos are corrupted
- Emptying the temp folder
- Deleting all the renders and cache files and letting them rebuild
- Exporting small pieces of the timeline to try to identify a bad clip -- this is a maddening process and I did find one clip that would generate the error, but I managed to export that to AVI and reimport and replace on timeline. It would be awfully nice if PE would just TELL ME which clip it doesn't like if in fact it's a clip error.
- Turning off the shadow / highlight feature I had on some clips, but this wasn't the issue, smaller sections with these clips exported fine
- Tried exporting to various formats: Vimeo SD, MPEG DV Standard, iPad Standard High Quality, AVI -- all result in the same error (the format I want by the way is Vimeo SD)
- Rebooting the machine and turning everything off that might possibly consume memory
This machine has never had problems exporting in the past. One thing I did try that worked -- installed PE 10 on another (less capable) Win 7 machine, and fed it all the media via an external drive. The other machine did the export fine (though it took a while given it is underpowered). This is nothing more than a work around though as I don't normally have access to this machine and I'm not done editing.
I'm at my wits' end! What else can I do to get this movie file to export?
Appreciate any help or clues you can provide to solve this mystery.

Oh, that is tragic!
I never had any issues with mine. Maybe it knew how respectful I was, having come from manual rewinds and a sync block? The Moviola was a godsend, at least for me. I am glad that I got to edit film, and on many setups, as some of that translated well to digital Video. Back when I was in film school, Video was 2" tape, and the only editing was by cutting at a 45 degree angle, and splicing the tape. There was not even deck-to-deck editing, way back then. Also, Video looked like crap, at least to my eyes. We could only use a switcher, to "edit," or do a feed to air. Looked like crap!
As for the Lexus, I can imagine all sorts of problems. My new LX-570 requires me to "Accept," when I put it into reverse, on the rear-view monitor! At least my wife's MB does not require that, but it is a 2011 model, so maybe the 2013 models will require that the user sign off on all sorts of "stuff."
Now, I can play Finding Nemo, for my rear-seat passengers, while driving, but the front-seat passengers cannot see it, which is just fine. When driving, I am not even a fan of hands-free calls, and declined most of the streaming stock quotes, etc. for XM/Sirius radio. NOT while I am driving. I will save that for reading the WSJ in the club at the airport.
Some years ago, our driver in London got a new BMW 7-series, and it allowed the playing of DVD's, even in the front, while driving. Not sure that I would want that, but such is life. At least his seats' ventilation system was "well-chilled," where ours' are just air. He almost froze my bum, showing off his new auto.
Now, working with PS, or PrE in an auto, or even on a mobile device, is just not something that I can wrap my old head around. I want a fast computer, with a big display, and cannot imagine editing Images, or Video, on any handheld (or auto) device.

Flex Project ; Compile Locally

When I set up a Flex project in Flex Buiilder 2 , and select
Flex Data Services, Compile Application locally in Flex Builder ,
then select root folder, root URL and context root, the application
fails to compile locally . I get an error in the problems section
stating , "Unexpected attribute 'url' found in 'endpoint' from
file: services-config.xml" . I am using LiveCycle Data Services ES.
Anyone having the same issue ? My co-worker was able to do a
similar set-up successfully using FDS2 , so I'm wondering if there
is an issue with LCDS ?
Thanks, Steve

sjlib,
I was able to resolve my same error by updating the Flex SDK
2. I found some information to do this here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=72&catid=640&threadid =1253123&highlight_key=y&keyword1=flex%20Builder
I followed the directions posted on 03/29/2007 by
"nodogbite".
After updating the Flex SDK, I removed my projects from the
workspace & the J2EE DIR and rebuilt them from the source path.
After doing this I no longer got the "Unexpected attribute 'url'
found in 'endpoint' from file: services-config.xml" when I
recompiled.
I hope this helps, good luck!

Error when trying to compile HTML help

I'm using RoboHelp 7.0 on Windows XP. All of the sudden, last
week, I start getting the following error when I try to compile
"Fatal Error: Unexpected error from Microsoft HTML compiler." I've
read the other posts regarding this error and deleted the .CPD file
multiple times and tried to compile again still with no success.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and not had any
better results. The other author in my office can check the project
out of RoboSource and compile it fine. I have it on my local drive
when trying to compile.
I'd appreciate any ideas. It doesn't make sense that is
something in the project since my other author can compile it fine.
Thanks,
Nita

Hi, Nita,
Do you have any other RoboHelp projects that you can try
compiling? This may help to determine whether there's something
slightly askew about this particular project — sounds
unlikely if your colleague can compile without error — or
whether the problem lies in your RoboHelp installation.
I'd also recommend that you run MJ's Help Diagnostics,
available from the address below. This will verify that all the
HTML Help viewer and compiler components are properly installed and
registered on your machine.

Getting a c++ project compiled to swc using Alchemy

Hi,
I am new to the Alchemy SDK. I was able to go through the sample and create and use swc created from that, but when I wanted to use this for a real project I am having some difficulties.
1. The project is a C++ project with lots of source files in separate folders linking a few libraries (which I dont have any source code for)
So is this even possible?
2. Do I have to always write a glue file written in C to communicate?
3. If someone can actually post an example with instructions for getting a project (which is a little bit more than HelloWorld ), that would be really helpful.
Thanks for the help in advance,
Chaitanya

Hi paleozogt,
Thanks for the prompt response.
1. So on this I removed the references to libraries to get myself started but I think eventually I need to figure out, how I am going to use external libraries.
2. I couldn;t find a nice example of how to use gluegen (maybe its just have to do with me being new to this stuff, but any help in this, like set of instructions or how tos would be great)
Yup and I have started creating the object interface for my c++ project.
3. This maybe obvious for someone using command line compiler but I had to use "g++" instead of "gcc" to get it compiled.
Thanks for the help once again,
Chaitanya

'Unable to open project File' Please help....

Help. Since yesterday, Final Cut Pro has been crashing every time I have tried to render something. I have used the FSC Maintenance Pack that has been recommended and ran Crash Analyser and Corrupt Clip Finder. No corrupt clips were found and the Crash Analyser fixed the problem for a while and I was able to work for a couple of hours. (prior to this I also removed some Motion files and that also temporarily stopped the crashing). I began working on my project again today, and the same thing started to happen. I kept having to turn everything off at the source until finally I gave up! Just before I turned it off I started running Autosave Cleaner but it seemed to freeze too so I Force Quit it. I have just turned it all back on again and to my horror, my project is not even opening. My other FCP projects are opening but not the one I am working on. I have no idea what to do. Final Cut opens and the message is 'Unable to open Project File'. I am so upset and really hope that someone out there can help.
I run 10.5.8, I have 10 GB memory. All my clips are imported as XDCAM EX 720p25 (original format MPEG HD) but I have been working in this project for weeks without a problem.
Thanks in advance
Gill

I don't know why it is set to the internal disk, but that is the default. That is not project related. It is system related (hence System Settings). So probably you started fcp one without the external disk attached. FCP forces you then to choose another scratch-, waveform-, thumbnail-, autosave location.
Probably you've set it all to the internal disk then.
Next time when the external disk was there again you might have only reset the scratch disk, but not your Autosave location... Just a thought.
That is, IMHO, the disadvantage of system orientated scratch disk settings...

Problem in my project EXE. Help me

I developed the labVIEW project for power plant. And I created the exe file of this project. But this exe indicate the main front panel window with all sub VIs front panel & control panel windows. Display the main window only. When I need sub windows that time only display the sub VI windows. But program is not a problem my EXE only the problem.
i want Anybody’s help me my id [email protected]

Hi Prabhi.KG
I can't be 100% sure, but this sounds like you remove the front panels from your subVIs. When you build an EXE the default setting is to remove the front panel and block diagram from the included subVIs. You can change this setting on a per file basis under the "Source File Settings" in the properties of your Build Specification.

Hello.
You must include the firm events include file before <sys/vuid_queue.h>.
This file is named something like <sys/vuid_event.h> or <sys/firm_event.h> (I'm not 100% sure):
#include <sys/vuid_event.h>
#include <sys/vuid_queue.h>
I hope this helps.

How to view area-specific projects in merged Help?

Hi-
While I have been successful in getting RH Server to merge the projects shown below:
...and access the merged projects in this landing page...
http://localhost:8080/robohelp/server
... I can't seem to access one of the individual projects, such as Minerva API HTML Documentation.
The HR Server docs say:
You can access area-specific projects using the following URL:
http://<server-name>/robohelp/server?prj=<project-name>&area=<area-name>
What I think this means is that I should be able to browse to Minerva API HTML Documentation like this:
http://localhost:8080/robohelp/server?prj="Minerva API HTML Documentation"&area=general
However, when I try this, the merged project opens up (as though I were browsing to the first red URL above).
Please advise as to what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks in advance!
-Kurt

Thank you very much !
Just one more question please.
Let's say l want to view and see the oboe, trumpet and clarinet score parts together in the score excluding all the other instruments? How would l go about doing that?
So l can see selected instuments together on the score part under one another.
Thanks for any help you can give !
