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,

Accessing online help in Sql developer

For some reason I have lost the ability to access Help in Sql Developer. Nothing happenx when I click on the "Table of Contents" in the Help menu. I un and re installed Sql Developer, but thie problem remains.
My OS is vista 32 bit.
Thanks
Mewbie

There's a +\sqldeveloper\system1.5.1.54.40\o.ide.11.1.1.0.22.49.42\windowinglayout.xml+ under your user profile. Deleting that should revert illegal positions (as it may have got pushed off screen).
You can also delete the whole +\sqldeveloper+ folder (or selective subfolders) to reset everything to factory defaults...
Hope that helps,

When will Apple offer a Security Update with ntp 4.2.8? In the meantime, are there companies/Consultants that provide online help?

I have a Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.1. Have tried to follow steps to patch npt 4.2.8, but it gets a little too complex when it comes to installing the Xcode into Terminal. Has anyone been able to complete this process? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

my online security company has put me out of compliance with PCI because I don't have ntp 4.2.8.
Why would anyone care what versions of software you have on your Mac? I got out of the roll-your-own-credit-card-merchant-account stuff when PCI came along. I really don't know what it requires. If you want to do that though, you need to play it smart. What kind of machine is PCI actually checking? Is this a server or something? Then give them what they want. That doesn't mean you have to use it. I guarantee that all of the massive hacks the past few years of millions of credit card companies were all perpetrated against companies with perfect PCI compliance. That is a regulatory requirement. To be regulated, you must meet that requirement. Don't let requirements dictate security. Instead, handle your security properly. Then, PCI is happy because you meet their automated tests, your customers are happy because their data is secure, and you are happy because you are using a Mac.

I want to include mouse spotlight feature in our online help so that interface could be explain more easily

We use Adobe robohelp to provide online help for our product. i am currently doing a research to include mouse spotlight feature, such that when the user moves the cursor on a certain part of the image, help pops up for that part only and rest of the image is dim.
To get an idea, if any one has visited vodafone website, there the help for the bill page appears in a such manner. i want to replicate the same for my help page.
is this possible through robohelp or dreamweaver or any other product of robohelp.
or work around for this feature using any other product of robohelp..
any idea or suggestion would be appreciated
Thanks

Nsj

Topic Properties is the one you want.
Also it can be customised to just included what information you want. Click Options once the Report window is open.

FM12-XML online help files

How do I find original source files for an XML-generated online help system created in FM12? What are POM files?
I must take over from previous tech writer to fix the files and regenerate them and I haven't a clue how to do it in FM 12.
I've created online help in the past, using RoboHELP without any coding.
HELP PLEASE. I am under the gun and struggling.
Thanks.

A quick search on the 'Net suggests that .pom may be
File used by Maven, a Java program used to build Java applications and manage their dependencies; contains build information, such as required software dependencies, dependency scope, and packaging information. […] NOTE: POM files are more commonly seen with an .XML file extension. They most commonly use the filename pom.xml.
Another post says
Maven POM files are not eBooks. They are configuration files for the Maven software dependency management system for building Java software. […] If the files you have downloaded are indeed Maven POM files, then they are a type of XML text file. You should be able to open them in a web browser or a text editor like Wordpad.
As for how to start from FM and get to .pom files, I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea. I'll watch this thread with interest … and sympathy :-}

Alex

Hello,
I am having exactly the same problemreported by Alex with online help. I'm using Photoshop CC 2014 French version under W7 64bits. I have tried with different browsers (IE, FF and Chrome).
I get error 404 when I click on Help from the Help menu (or hit F1). The address displayed in the browser is
http://community.adobe.com/chcservices/services/redirect?u=http://help.adobe.com&p=Photosh op_15.0&l=fr_FR&id=AH_HOME
independently from the browser.
I tried the same from a different laptop and encounter the same issue.
There is a separate menu item in the help menu to access help resources. It takes me to
http://community.adobe.com/chcservices/services/redirect?u=http://help.adobe.com&p=Photosh op_15.0&l=fr_FR&id=AH_RESOURCE…
This page does not exist.
Can you help please?

Where do I find examples of how to use formula functions? Online help only provides syntax

Hello,
I would like to run a formula ( for my custom field in Project 2013) that allows me to see the Finish Time e.g. 17:15 for a task. I am trawling through the online help to determine which one is best but I would like to read some examples
of how a function can be used. I hoped Help may do this but no.
Hope you can point me into the right direction. Thanks in advance.
Alan

Alan,
Yeah I agree, the on-line help is lacking in information on how to actually USE a function. However, there are some places that may help. Here are a couple, I'm sure there are many others.
https://support.office.com/en-nz/article/Project-functions-for-custom-fields-7e525143-380f-4083-8d5a-3ecc6ba44f22
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee767700(v=office.14).aspx
Since many of the custom field formulas are also used in VBA, I've found the object library reference for VBA to be very helpful in understanding and setting up custom field formulas. To get the the object library, go to Developer/Code group/Visual Basic.
Once the Visual Basic Editor window opens, hit View/Object Browser. Hit the Help menu and select the Help for Visual Basic. Type in the function of interest.
However, you say you want a custom formula to see the finish time for a task. You don't need any customization to see that. Simply go to File/Options/General tab and select a date format that includes the time.
Hope this helps.

Hi @Sunshyn2005
I timed-out waiting for advice, and contacted HP Support, who helped me get the printer back on the air. While we didn't manage to root-cause it, in the course of trying various things, the tech disabled Norton 360's firewall, which then allowed connecting to the printer, and restoring print service, which remains up after re-enabling the firewall.
The timing of the disconnection doesn't neatly corellate with any Windows updates. My own theory is that it was caused by a 360 update, but am unable to find a smoking gun, since 360 doesn't provide update history. The exact root-cause remains a mystery, but at least provides another thing for folks to try should they find themselves in similar straits.
I really appreciated your hint that a Windows update might be the root cause, and your pointing out how to review the history and back-out updates: this morning, I found that Windows had installed a batch of updates overnight, and found that no browsers worked. Using your advice, I rolled back the update, restoring browsing.
Thanks,

Does CQ facilitate the development or integration of online help?

My company has used CQ5 to develop API portals. I want to develop a context-sensitive online-help system for those portals. Does CQ facilitate the development of online help for those portals? Does it facility the integration of my online-help system with those portals?

thats a good question. i havent found a "email us" section on the website. i was planning on emailing them untilk i found this. Perhaps a site enhancement would be to add email us.

Developing Online Help for Mobile Applications

My company is just starting to develop applications for mobile devices (cell phone, iPad
, etc.). Can anyone tell me whether RoboHelp is the best Adobe application for devel
oping online help for mobile devices or if some other application should be used? Thanks.

Thanks for the insight. I haven't read about RH8 so wasn't aware of that difference. No, I haven't tried the demo yet. I guess that would be the logical next step. I've been trying to get to the STC web site to download the PDF file of the presentation, but can't get the web site to open. Oh well. Thanks again.

When I try to use online help in CC, I'm told CC isn't connected to the internet, but it is.

When I try to use online help in CC, I get a message that says Photoshop isn't connected to the internet. But I am connected.

Did you use CS5 or CS6 in the past? Did you set those apps to use offline help only so that you didn't have to watch Adobe Air update itself every time you tried to open Help? If so, there might be an old Adobe Help (CS5 / CS6) preference lingering on your machine. You wouldn't think CC would respect it, but you would be wrong. I had to install old Adobe Help (for CS5 / CS6) and change the pref.
