Question regarding Form layout in Flex

Hi guyz. Today had a look at form layout
<mx:Form id="form">
        <mx:FormItem label="horizontal:">
            <mx:Text text="test"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
gives the output in the format 'label' - 'textbox'. But i want to change the orientation like
label
checkbox
How can i do that. Please explain in detail.

Since php files are run on the server side, can I assume that my JavaScript validations (which are part of a php file) will be done on the server side as well, and therefore are secure?
No. The PHP server processes the PHP only, and then sends the output to the browser, which is where the JavaScript will be executed.

Question regarding forms in Flex 3

Hello,
I currently have a Word form document that is filled out and then converted to HTML and displayed on several monitors at various workstations throught my office.
I would like to use Flex 3 to customize this process a little. I want to be able to create a Flex application that a manger can use to fill in the various forms, using combo boxes, etc, then export it to the workstation monitors for employees to view. The information must be locked at the workstation - employees can not have the ability to change the information.
Can I do this with Flex or is it better to jsut stick with the Word document? There will not be a need for any database interaction (unless it is required to disable functionality on the workstation monitors).
I hope I explained what I need clearly enough!
Thanks for any help!

People viewing the data would access the Flex app via a URL, and the manager could use the "admin" section of the app to enter the data.
You would need something on the back end to store the data entered by the manager.
You could use AMFPHP to implement a "push" technology to update viewers screens with new data automagically.

2 CSS Questions on my layout

Hi everyone, I have two CSS questions regarding my layout.
First off, it is located at:
http://robles.clunet.edu/~ssmi/tsr9/tsr9template.html
The CSS is embeded in the file (it will linked from a
different file once I am done with this design, but beside the
point)
My first question is about how I can keep the right top image
from being bumped down to the next line when the window is resized.
I want it to squeeze into some, but then at a point have the scroll
bars kick in.
My other question is how I could make the title image "The
Scott Report" centered between the two left and right images up
top.
Could anyone help out?
Thanks a lot!

Flex form layout - add first child vertically aligned with label

Hi all..
In flex form layout
<mx:Form id="form">
        <mx:FormItem label="horizontal:">
            <mx:Text text="test"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
the output will be
horizontal 'test'
But my constraint is i want to align the textbox(first child of the form item ) vertically with the label. How can i do this ?Any inputs invited

Hi,
You can specify the direction as vertical for FormItem and inside the formitem you can add another text for the header.
Check the code below.
<mx:Form id="form">
        <mx:FormItem direction="vertical">
            <mx:Text text="horizontal:"/>
            <mx:Text text="test"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
    </mx:Form>

Questions regarding Adobe Interactive Forms capabilities

Hi,
We have the following questions regarding Adobe Interactive Forms.
1. Not able to create a text field with dynamic size according to the data entered in the text field in a form with Static Content type forms.   We use a scroll area, but cannot print content that is not visible in the scroll area.
    We currently have Designer 7.0 and 2004 SP 16. I tried to set Form Properties -> PDF Render Format to be Acrobat 7.0 Compatible Dynamic PDF but the text field did not grow dynamically.
2. Another requirement is that once one form is accepted by the Customer, we need to generate a second, new form (with all user entered information from the first form) and the customer should be able to print the form.
    To implement this, we need to have a form that can support dynamically growing text field in some areas, and specific positioning of form elements for other areas. Can we have a dynamic form which lets the fields grow dynamically according to the data entered in the field and with specific positioning of elements?
3. Sending emails from Offline forms Requirement is to send an email as soon as the form is accepted by our Customers. But the Customers can complete the form offline. Is it possible to automatically send an email in an offline forms without having the user push the send button from their email application? Can the Adobe Form do that part automatically?
Appreciate any help regarding above questions.
Thanks,
Kalyan

HI Francois,
Thank you very much for the very helpful information.
1. I am able to insert now the floating field inside a static text but the text does not grow dynamically even when I set the form type to be "Flowed Content". Is it something that required Adobe Designer 7.0 and also 2004s ADS?
2. I can still select only Flow or position content from the option but how can we use both in the same form? I am using Adobe Designer 7.0 and it allows to select only one. Is it again a problem in lower versions that I use?
3. This is an excellent idea and I strongly believe this is going to work (am trying to create POC for this solution). The form should be able to call the webservice as long as the user is connected to internet.
Can you provide your views on the first two points. I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kalyan

Form layout question

I am trying to layout a form like this.
Employees Department
Employee # 1234 Department # 123 Department Name ABC
Employee Name Scott Department Type W
SUBMIT
I used the Panel form layout but I am not able group them like above with the headings?
Any help welcome.

If you want to have multiple columns (say 2) for each row, use as below:
*<af:panelFormLayout id="pfl1" maxColumns="2" rows="1">*
<af:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{bindings.DepartmentId.hints.label}" id="plam1">
<af:outputText value="#{bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" id="ot1">
<af:convertNumber groupingUsed="false" pattern="#{bindings.DepartmentId.format}"/>
</af:outputText>
</af:panelLabelAndMessage>
<af:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{bindings.DepartmentName.hints.label}" id="plam2">
<af:outputText value="#{bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}" id="ot2"/>
</af:panelLabelAndMessage>
<af:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{bindings.ManagerId.hints.label}" id="plam3">
<af:outputText value="#{bindings.ManagerId.inputValue}" id="ot3">
<af:convertNumber groupingUsed="false" pattern="#{bindings.ManagerId.format}"/>
</af:outputText>
</af:panelLabelAndMessage>
<af:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{bindings.LocationId.hints.label}" id="plam4">
<af:outputText value="#{bindings.LocationId.inputValue}" id="ot4">
<af:convertNumber groupingUsed="false" pattern="#{bindings.LocationId.format}"/>
</af:outputText>
</af:panelLabelAndMessage>
</af:panelFormLayout>
If you want all columns in the same row, use as below:
*<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl1" layout="horizontal" halign="center">*
<af:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{bindings.DepartmentId.hints.label}" id="plam1">
<af:outputText value="#{bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" id="ot1">
<af:convertNumber groupingUsed="false" pattern="#{bindings.DepartmentId.format}"/>
</af:outputText>

Dynamic forms in AIR/Flex

OK, this is another of those "Is AIR the right tool for the job" questions. And I have zero previous exposure to Flash/Flex, just doing a fast forward through all available information, to reach an assessment.
The app in question is mainly a vanilla database client (server component exists and has a ReSToid HTTP interface). It involves task lists, forms, all the ususal stuff and is glueing together a bunch of other (pre-existing) apps on the client which are to be spawned from the glue app.
In contrast to the legacy app which is to be replaced, the database structure shall be customizable per customer site and consequently have custom edit forms.
Now, how to implement custom, dynamic forms in AIR/Flex? It seems logical to store the forms together with custom table in the database, but in which format? It is impossible to just store MXML forms, as Flex is a compiled language and I didn't find a hook to pull in extra MXML from an external source.
Is there a Flex component turning an XML description of a form into a form on the screen, as mx:FlexNativeMenu can turn XML into a menu?
Or am I looking into the wrong direction? It seems an AIR/Ajax soulution would be able to just pull the custom form in HTML from an external source and use it. But AIR/Flex is looking to be the friendlier and more productive environment....

You can dynamically compose a form at runtime via as3.
Here is a quick example.
HTH.
ps: afaik there is no component which automatically builds a form from xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" initialize="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
     import mx.controls.TextInput;
     import mx.containers.FormItem;
     private function init():void {
          var formItem:FormItem = new FormItem();
          formItem.label = "FormItem1";
          var textInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
          formItem.addChild(textInput);
          myForm.addChild(formItem);
]]>
</mx:Script>
     <mx:Form id="myForm">
          <mx:FormHeading label="My Form"/>
     </mx:Form>
</mx:Application>

Open the form layout in input mode if no record exists in the VO?

Hi,
I am using
JDeveloper version: Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.1.0.3984
JHeadstart version: 10.1.3.1 Release 10.1.3.1.26
I have a group with Form Layout where Single-Row Insert allowed is true.
What I want to do is:
When I open this form in the browser, it will open with the existing record in the ViewObject associated with this form, if there is any record exists.
But if there is no record exists in the ViewObject, then it will open the form in input mode (user will not need to click the 'New' button to create a record).
I tried setting the property 'Auto Query?' to false. But in that case it opens the form in input mode all the time, it does not open with the existing record.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
This is not natively supported in the 10.1.3 releases of JHeadstart. Can you please ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at JDeveloper and ADF ?
You can use the JHeadstart templating to save your customizations of course, see the JHeadstart Dev Guide chapter on customization.

Questions regarding customisation/configuration of PS CS4

Hello
I have accumulated a list of questions regarding customising certain things in Photoshop. I don't know if these things are doable and if so, how.
Can I make it so that the list of blending options for a layer is by default collapsed when you first apply any options?
Can I make it possible to move the canvas even though I'm not zoomed in enough to only have parts of it visible on my screen?
Is it possible to enable a canvas rotate shortcut, similar to the way you can Alt+RightClick to quickly change brush size?
Is it possible to lock button positions? Sometimes I accidentally drag them around when I meant to click.
Is it possible to lock panel sizes? For example, if I have the Navigator and the Layers panels vertically in the same group, can I lock the height of the navigator so that I don't have to re-adjust it all the time? Many panels have a minimum height so I guess what I am asking for is if it's possible to set a maximum height as well.
Is it possible to disable Photoshop from automatically appending "copy" at the end of layer/folder names when I duplicate them?
These are things I'd really like to change to my liking as they are problems I run into on a daily basis.
I hope someone can provide some nice solutions

2. No. It's a sore spot that got some forum time when Photoshop CS4 was first released, then again with CS5. It's said that the rules change slightly when using full-screen mode, though I personally haven't tried it.
3. Not sure, since I haven't tried it. However, you may want to explore the Edit - Keyboard Shortcuts... menu, if you haven't already.
4. What buttons are you talking about? Those you are creating in your document? If so, choose the layer you want to lock in the LAYERS panel, then look at the little buttons just above the listing of the layers:
5. There are many, many options for positioning and sizing panels. Most start with making a panel visible, then dragging it somewhere by its little tab. One of the important features is that you can save your preferred layout as a named workspace. Choose the Window - Workspace - New Workspace... to create a new named workspace (or to update one you've already created). The name of that menu is a little confusing. Once you have created your workspace, if something gets out of place, choose Window - Workspace - Reset YourNamedWorkspace to bring it back to what was saved.
You'll find that panels like to "stick together", which helps with arranging them outside of the Photoshop main window.
As an example, I use two monitors, and this is my preferred layout:
6. No, it's not possible to affect the layer names Photoshop generates, as far as I know. I have gotten in the habit of immediately naming them per their usage, so that I don't confuse myself (something that's getting easier and easier to do...).
Hope this helps!

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
QUESTION 1:
I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
QUESTION 2:
I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
QUESTION 3:
Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
QUESTION 4:
Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
QUESTION 5:
If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

Well said.
Steps to set up RAID
Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
4. Name the RAID set.
5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
6. Click Create.
Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
7. Click Rebuild.

Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
/Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
Media files as needed.
Things that hurt performance:
Page outs
Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StandardRAIDlevels
(normally I'd link to Wikipedia but I can't load right now)
Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

Sirrick,
If I understand your question correctly, you want to programmatically set how many array elements (clusters) to show. You can do this with the Array properties: Number of Rows and Number of Columns. Please see the attached VI.

Adobe Interactive Form - Layout type

Friends,
I am working on an Adobe Interactive Form.
Regarding the Layout Type in the Properties Tab, what option should i choose:
Unknown Layout Type / xACF Layout / ZCI layout / Standard Layout.
I have used print forms in the past and chose Standard Layout. Please let me know what is the right choice for an interactive form.
I am trying to populate Drop Down box with values. I have chosen "Enumerated Drop-down List" from Web Dynpro Native Library.
I have done the binding under Binding tab -> Specify Item Values -> Dynamic Properties -> Binding.
Still the values are not getting displayed in the PDF preview.
Is the layout type the reason for this or do i need to work with ABAP Dynpro to rectify this error.
Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.
Thanks.

Hi,
The basic difference is:
1) ActiveX Dropdowns requires ACF to be installed on each client machine to get back the data from interactive form back to context.
2) While, the use of Native dropdowns makes a form to ZCI type, so that does not require any xACF component to be installed on each and every machine that uses the Interactive forms.
So, it is recommended to use Native dropdowns in your forms,
Also, for the population of dropdowns of type native you can go through SAP note: 1013227.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Amita
