Providing on-screen help in flash RIA application

Dear Friends,
I have a requirement to implement a feature like providing on-screen help related to the panel/control/form(which helps the use who is using my application) i loaded in the browser.
Any idea or any direction is appreciated.
Regards,
Prakash.

Hi nikos,
Thanks for your reply. which file format i have to use so that the team who is creating help, can give me that file format. and i can access. usually .hlp file is using for standalone project. for web which file format is best to fetch help details.
The senario is, if i press F1 on textbox, it should give me a help from the help document and produce information about that field entry.
I am using flash builder to develop my application.
Please give me any idea..
Regards,
Prakash.

Providing online Help for Flex-based applications

I have been asked to provide online Help for a Flex application. As I have never done this before, I have a few questions:
- What is the format for the Help topics?
- Are there control-type files (e.g., TOC, index, project file) that need to be created? If so, what is the format for these?
- Is the Help compiled? If so, which compiler is used?
- How is context-sensitive Help created?
I'd also like to know if there are any resources I could look at that covers these Help issues. Thanks.

Hi,
You can acheive the same by the addition of [USER-COMMAND fcode].
RADIOBUTTON GROUP group [USER-COMMAND fcode] - The addition USER-COMMAND can be used to assign a function code fcode to the first parameter in a radio button group. The function code fcode must be specified directly, and have a maximum length of 20 characters. When the user selects any radio button of the radio button group on the selection screen, the runtime environment triggers the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN and transfers the function code fcode to the component ucomm of the interface work area sscrfields.
So you code should be altered as
PARAMETERS: rb_appl RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad
                     USER-COMMAND radclick    "Addition which you have to make.
                     DEFAULT 'X',
            rb_pres RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad ,
            p_file   TYPE ibipparms-path.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
IF rb_appl = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_applictn_server_filenm.
ELSEIF rb_pres = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_presentation_filenm.
ENDIF.
Thanks & Regards,

I am having trouble with my MacBook Pro. I get a blank screen with a flashing document file with a question mark in it, yes I have tried to install Mac OS X with the original disk but I get no choices of where I wish to install Mac OS X. Please help ;(

I am having some trouble with my computer, what happened was: I was playing on a game, I played with a magnet, it started to go slower and slower, I pressed F9 then it went slower and then it went to a blank screen with a flashing document with a question mark on it. I tried the original OS X installation disk but when it came to choosing the area of which I save it, it showed no areas.

Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
If the startup disk is not available from that window, you may be able to repair the disk.

My MacBook just has a white screen and a flashing file with a question mark. Please help:(

I don't really understand what's happening, but I tried to update the software. Then all these codes appeared on the screen so I help down alt, command and R and it then reset and now it's just a white screen with a flashing file and questionmark. Please help.

That is a sign that the MBA cannot locate the OSX. The storage drive may be damaged.

Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

How to create a help page in my application like the one in HTMLDB ?

Hi,
What's the best way to create a help file for my application and link it like the help link at the top right of HTMLDB ?
Thank you.

That's what I did, but I have a lot of screen captures. Where would be the best place to save those gif, server or in the database by loading them via the images tab in HTMLDB ?

My new mac mini (3 month) didn't start up,all that appeared was a white screen and a flashing folder with a question mark inside it.

My new Mac mini (3 month) didn't start up, all that appeared was a white screen and a flashing folder with a question mark inside it.
I followed by recommendations from 'Everything Mac': "shut it down by pressing and holding the power button for about 5 seconds.
Then hold down the Option key and press the power button again to start up the Mac mini. Keep holding down the Option key until
the Mac mini starts up."
But I got a Wi-Fi button only to chose and connect the local network. I connected to my network and I can't use this connection
becouse no icons.
Could you please help me?

Your Mini (running 10.6.4) should have come with grey-colored install disks. Now is the time to put them into service. Turn on your computer so that there is power to accept disk #1 into the optical drive. Once the disk is in the drive, shut off the computer by holding the start button down until it powers off. Then turn it on this time holding down the "C" key to make the computer boot from the disk. The question mark that you saw indicates that the computer cannot find a bootable volume. This can happen due to corrupted system files or an improper shutdown etc. Once you are in the "Installer" you can choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu in the menu bar. Use it to repair the disk and to see if that can solve your trouble.

I can't log in to my computer- when it turns on it has a white/gray screen with a flashing folder with a question mark in it. What does this mean and how can I get it to stop to log in?

Hi
I dropped my macbook yesterday and it turned itself off. When I tried to turn it back on all I got was a white/gray screen with a flash folder with a ? in the middle of it? What does this mean and how do I get it to stop so I can log onto my laptop?

Deev
Normally the question mark on the gray screen means it can't find the operating system. Have you tried booting up from the installation DVD? Do that, and when you come to the screen where it wants to begin a system installation you'll notice in the menubar where it say's utilites. Click on that and choose disk utility. from there choose your disk and try to verify and repair the disk. If you can you may want to also try and new install of the system. I don't know how much critical data you have, but reinstalling is an option. did you purcahse you from an Apple store? If you did you may want them to look at it. Hope this helps.

Joseph

How to provide F1 & F4 helps for a newly created field.

I have to create a <b>currency field</b> in 0100 screen like skb1-waers.
I have to provide F1 & F4 helps for that field.
Shall I give screen name as SKB1-WAERS ?
I have given as above .
But the problem is when the Processor is processing a that screen , the currency on the screen gets overwritten by another the reference account field in one of the subroutine. Since the screen uses fieldname skb1-waers, it gets overwritten when my code read skb1 table.
Was it right that I used screen name as SKB1-WAERS ( in my screen attributes for that field ) ???
If not suggest me what to do and how to proceed ?
YOUR HELP IS APPRECIATED.

Hi,
I would suggest creating a new structure in the DDIC..Then give the field WAERS and give the foreign key table as TCURC..
Steps
GO to SE11...select the radio button ..data type... give the structure name...Z_SCREEN_0100.
Press create ..
Then give the column name WAERS..
Give the data element as TCURC.
Place the cursor on the waers field and press the foreign key button..
It would automatically propose the table TCURC..
copy and generate the structure..
use the structure-fieldname to define the currency field..
Go to the input field attributes..
give Z_SCREEN_0100-WAERS..Press enter..It will ask whether the field should be dictionary reference..Press yes to continue..
In the PBO..
Move the value from the SKB1 table to the screen structure Z_SCREEN_0100-WAERS
Thanks,
Naren

How to call subscreen and provide selection screen in subscreen

Hi experts,
please anybody suggest me how to call subscreen in module pool screen and provide selection screen in that sub screen.
please tell me how to design this subscreen in module pool screen.
adevanced
thank you
regards
vijay krishna

Hi,
If you need to have select-options in module pool then follow these steps:-
To implement select-options in module pool, first design two input/output fields (textboxes) for the low and high value of the field and name it as <field_name>-low and <field_name>-high.
Create a button next the high value textbox and keep its sutaible function code.
Now, to call the pop-up on this button click, we have to call the same pop-up as in standard      select-options. For this we have to use the function module COMPLEX_SELECTIONS_DIALOG.
For this FM we have to pass the table name, field name and the range for the field whose range needs to fill when using the popup screen.
To pass the table name and field name details into the FM, we have to declare as:
DATA : tab TYPE rstabfield.
This structure comprises of table name and field name.
Pass these details in program as:-
u2003
*-- clear table and field details
CLEAR tab.
*-- append for range depending on the button clicked
*   either for sales order or line item
CASE sy-ucomm.
    WHEN 'VBELN'.
      tab-tablename = 'VBAP'.
      tab-fieldname = 'VBELN'.
*--To call the popup screen for the field use code:-
CALL FUNCTION 'COMPLEX_SELECTIONS_DIALOG'
    EXPORTING
      title             = text-002 u201Ctitle text
      text              = ' '
      signed            = 'X'
      search_help       = v_shelp u201Csearch help if required
      tab_and_field     = tab u201Ctable and field name details
    TABLES
      range             = r_vbeln u201Crange for the associated field
    EXCEPTIONS
      no_range_tab      = 1
      cancelled         = 2
      internal_error    = 3

Help ! Flashing folder icon with question mark when starting up

Hi, I have tried to restore my macbook pro 15 (2012 model with Yosemite OS X) to factory settings and wipe out the hard drive but on restarting it I now just get a blank screen with a flashing folder icon with a question mark on it. Any help/advice anyone I would be very grateful for ! Thanks, Mark

Something didn't install properly.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
