RH9 ShortCut Help Control
Hello,
We are using the evaluation copy of RoboHTML 9 on a Windows 7 64bit machine. We are considering upgrading from x5. We are creating Microsoft HTML Help chm files. I'm having a problem with ShortCut Button Text. I convert an x5 project that uses Shortcut HTML Help Controls. All the shortcuts in every topic now appear with "value" as the button text. I try changing to the text I want and it appears correctly in Design. I then save the file and it still appears correctly. I open another topic, then come back to the topic with the shortcut and the text is back to "value". I've tried changing it in the HTML code also in <param name="ControlLabel" value="value" /> and <param name="Button" value="Text:value" /> but the same thing still occurs. Note the "value" text in these. I change "value" to something like "Yes" and it reverts back to "value" after doing the above.
I tried inserting a new Shortcut on an existing and new topic but the same thing happens with these as above.
However creating a new project does not experience the above problem. It appears to have something to do with the project conversion.
Does anyone know what is causing this? Is this a known problem or something with using an evaluation copy? We use shortcuts in a number of places and would need to know how to fix this before purchasing RH9. I can't see having to start all over again with a blank project.
Files are on the local drive, not network.
Thanks
John
Hi John
Couple of things I'd be checking here.
1. I'd begin by first ensuring I have a backup copy of the old X5 project. Once you are sure you are good there, try clicking Tools > Update DHTML Effects in Topics. I'm not certain this will have any effect, but suppose it's worth trying.
2. When you examine the HTML code behind a Shortcut control, you should find there are two distinct areas. One appears with green text. That code is the "Design Time" code. The darker red code that immediately follows is the actual code used by the compiler. I find that often when copy controls I have to resort to amending things via HTML view. And some values are repeated more than once in the Design Time code.
I might suggest trying just removing all the green Design Time code leaving behind only the darker red code. RoboHelp should re-add the Design Time code for you if you do this. Maybe it will work differently this way.
Another possibility would be to click Tools > Options > General category and enable the option labeled Convert RoboHelp-edited topics to HTML. Again, I'm uncertain it will have any effect, but it's worth trying.
Cheers... Rick

Look at the airdrop shortcut in control center!
Hi!
I have the same issue with my 5s (iOS 8.1.1) and I could solve it by opening control center in landscape mode and then getting back into portrait. Also it will fix if you restart the phone but the first way is faster and less annoying.
Hope this helps. -
I have a .chm file with a number of HTML Help Control
Shortcuts within it.
When the .chm is run from the local machine everthing works,
however from the network/intranet the .chm is opening and working
fine apart from the Help Control Shortcuts???
Any ideas?
Many Thanksabdab35,
HTML Help Shortcut commands were permanently disabled in
non-local CHMs by a Windows security update (numbered
323180) that
Microsoft released two years ago. There is no way to re-enable
them, unfortunately; applying the workarounds to the more recent
896358 security update doesn't have any effect in this case.
If you need to implement Shortcut-like functionality in a
remotely stored help file, one possibility is to use the
KeyHelp ActiveX
control. This provides a KeyShortcut command that performs the
same function as the standard Shortcut command but isn't subject to
Microsoft's security restrictions. The only drawback is that you
must install KeyHelp on your users' machines.

RH9 application help "Contents & Index" broken
I have been using RH9 for months now and I still fail to grasp how the RH9 application help is supposed to work.
When I click the Help button in the main toolbar, I am supposed to choose from the available options. The option that looks TO ME like "normal" application online help functionality is the first one, called "Contents & Index".
So I click it, and what happens? After a wait, what happens is that our default IE browser home page opens (which is our corporate intranet home page).
So what the blazes am I supposed to do with THAT? Does that sound like "Contents & Index" to you? Well it doesn't to me either.And if you are on a 64 bit system, the path is likely to be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Help\
Personally I'd be shocked if the AIR runtime wasn't installed. I believe it gets installed when RoboHelp (or the Tech comms Suite) is installed.
Cheers... Rick

I use Control + Tab and Control + Shift + Tab or Cmd + ~ and Cmd + Shift + ~ to switch between tab back and forth alot how do I change the shortcut to something else?
On Photoshop CC 2014 macNo, there isn't. you can't even set your own shor cut keys as you don't know what the documents will be named. Normally you can add short cuts keys but only for those menus options that already exist but your documents will change. I have searched for the answer earlier as I also want it.
There is in the Pages Help menu an option for Keyboard shorcuts but nothing is mentioned ther about changing document windows. -
Require help controlling the time line of movie with AS 2.0
I am trying to control a movie clip via action script through a button.
My Flash File has a master movie clip "masterMC" that contains all of
the movie clips for the flash movie. It is essentially a calendar that
when the user clicks on a date a small box pops up with the event(s)
scheduled for that day.
Inside "masterMC" there is a movie clip "calendar" and a movie clip
"events" both with similar instance names. Inside the "calendar" movie
clip are calendar graphics of different months (oddly enough) where the
dates on which an event falls is a button symbol. I have a layer in the
"masterMC" that holds the action script for the buttons. I am trying
to, when a button I pressed, trigger a specific frame to play in the
"events" movie clip that brings up the box with the events. One of my
button's code looks like:
Oct18_btn.onRelease = function (){
eventsMC.gotoAndPlay("oct18");
I have verified all instance names, frame names, letter case etc... And
cannot figure out why when I test the movie nothing happens when I click
the button. Is there a problem in the code or could it be something
else? Thank you.I apologize for harping on about this, I have been away for a couple weeks and just saw this. I think this is the case. The "eventsMC" and "calMC" are in the "masterMC" however the button is inside of another movie clip called "octMC" within the "calMC" therefore I cannot seem to manipulate the action script correctly to achieve the result I want. I have tried everything that has been posted as a possible solution and have gotten nowwhere. I tried putting the script directly on the button as:
on(release){
eventsMC.gotoAndPlay ("oct11");
and all varients using "_root." etc... and have gotten nothing. I attached the .fla file if anyone is willing to take a look and help me; the only button I have been working is the one for OCT 11. I simply want to repeat the same process each time an event falls within a day of the month. Thank you. -
Change tabbing shortcut for controls
Is there a way to change the tabbing shortcut to the Enter key, instead of using the Tab key? And is it possible to set the tabbing order for controls?
Thanks,
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.I would advise against it as using the Tab key for navigation has been standardized for a long time. But you could use the Key Down? filter event in an event stucture to modify a keys behaviour. Specifically if someone hits the enter key pass 9 to Char and ASCII to VKey. You could also use this to disable the tab key.

HELP: Controlling speed of photo slider
I need some help in controling the speed of this simple photo
slider. Here's what I have.
Individual movie clip(Photo):
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.xdist = (_root._xmouse-_root.xcenter)/20;
Main Action:
movieWidth = 300
xcenter = movieWidth/2
// this code loops right
function movePiece (target) {
with (target) {
_x += xdist;
if (_x>movieWidth+_width/2) {
_x = -_width/2;
if (_x<(0-_width/2)) {
_x = movieWidth+_width/2;
What action code, etc. can I put into this code to slow down
the scrolling or control the scroll speed? Any help would be
appreciated! ThanksThanks, I can't believe I missed that. That worked. The
higher the # the slower.

Keyboard shortcut for Control+F2, F, Enter
Hello,
I am trying to create a keyboard shortcut that would be available to all Applications deliveres the same result as these keystrokes:
1. Control + F2 (move focus to menu bar)
2. F (moves focus to the File menu bar menu)
3. Enter or down arrow (Displays the File menu)
WHat I am looking to do is create the Windows equivalent of alt+F (displays the contents of the File menu)
I have created a System Preferences Keyboard Shortcut for All Applications that has "File" as the description and ^F has the Shortcut...this doesn't work. Is there a way to assign a shortcut to display the menu bar File menu in its open state?ReidRik_Von
Here's one approach to try...
1) Open System Preferences > Universal Access and make sure "Enable access for assistive devices" is checked.
2) Highlight and copy the block of code below and paste it into your AppleScript Script Editor (located inside your Applications > AppleScript folder):
*tell application "System Events"*
*keystroke tab using command down*
*set theApp to name of (first process whose frontmost is true)*
*tell process theApp*
*click menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1*
*end tell*
*end tell*
Choose Save As from the Script Editor's File menu, File Format: application, leaving the Options unchecked. Give the script application a name (Display File Menu, e.g.), and press Save.
3) To assign a keyboard shortcut, you might consider downloading and installing the excellent Spark program.
From Spark's File menu, set up a New Hot Key to launch an Application, in this case the application being your newly created AppleScript application. When the new System HotKey sheet drops down, hit the Choose button and navigate to the location where your new AppleScript application was saved. Select it and press Open. Click inside the editable Shortcut field to make it active, and on your keyboard keystroke Option (alt), plus the letter "f." Then press Create.
Start the Spark Daemon by selecting it from the File menu, or by pressing the Stark Spark Daemon button on the Spark panel itself, and then quit Spark altogether. The Spark Daemon and your enabled keyboard shortcut will run as a hidden process, using a minimal amount of RAM.
It worked for me...
Good luck!

Help: Controlling transitions in flash web galleries from CS4/Bridge
Hi all,
Is there a way to control the transitions from one image to the next when generating a flash web gallery? I'm using CS4/Bridge on WinXP.
The fade out/in from one image to the next is very chunky, no matter what the file size. And that's on my local copy before I've uploaded it to the web.
I also haven't found a way to generate web galleries from within CS4 itself (looked at file/automate, as well as window/output, but nothing obvious in either location).
Many thanks for your help!
jYour procedures are correct. The pertinent features have been moved from PS to Bridge. You can use the old method by finding the respective scripts on your install DVD's Extras section (or downloading them). Regarding transition performance and speed I don't think you can do anything. that is solely determined by the Flash template used for that and if you have no way of creating your own ones, there doesn't seem much point in even worrying about things you may not be able to change. Use it or loose it, if you allow me to put it that way. You can however certainly find enough other gallery tools on the web, they may just require you to change your approach and learn some basic web design stuff...

Hi,
I find it rather annoying and I think it used to be better:
Calling any (user-defined) search help using F4 I always get a dialog control almost covering the full screen height - regardless of the number of entries shown.
Is there any way, i.e. in the search help exit DIS step to control the size of the control created?
Could not find it in the forum.
Thanx for useful hints.
Regards,
ClemensThere are two related posts that suggest that it's not feasible:
Search help output window re-size
Increase standard pop up size
It might be possible in a custom report if you program F4 call yourself. -
Need Help controlling the time my program stays connected to a network
Hi,
Every time I open a Thread to listen to client connections, ou to send data to a server, i need to control how long the other side takes to respond.
This is to fulfill two objectives:
1) if the client or the server takes to long to respond the connection is terminated.
2) if, for example, 30 seconds have passed, the server could send a packet with information that tells the client to wait a little more.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.BigDaddyLoveHandles wrote:
Before you read, remember the timestamp:
timestamp = System.currentTimeMillis(); When you want to calculate how much time remains:
long soTimeout = socket.getSoTimeout();
if (soTimeout == 0) {
//handle no timeout case
} else {
long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
long timeLeft = soTimeout - (now - timestamp);
//use timeLeft somehow
Great, that works.
i think i will also try to use the classes Timer and Calendar to create a scheduler, and see which option if better for what i need.
Thanks for your help.

Going from Mac to PC environment - keyboard shortcut help
I just began working on a PC workstation and realized how much of a hassle it is due to the fact that the keyboard shortcut locations are so different. For instance...
If I wanted to perform an Undo, I would push Apple+Z on my Mac keyboard. However if I am on a PC and wish to do an Undo, I would have to push Ctrl+Z (which unlike a Mac is NOT the button next to the spacebar).
The button next to the spacebar on a PC happens to be the Alt button, which is what I always end up hitting because I'm so used to working on a Mac1 Does somebody have a PC Adobe Creative Suite preset file that conains all the keyboard shortcuts with the Alt and Ctrl buttons already switched? Or is there some way I could easily switch the Alt and Ctrl buttons without having to change each individual command manually? Thanks.copaesthetic wrote:

How about thinking outside of the box... the Creative Suite box? What happens when you are using something other than a CS app and need to undo something? Those CS shortcuts would not really help you and would cause more confusion.
As one that uses both platforms, I can assure you that what you are experiencing should be very temporary. It is not that difficult to mentally manage the shuffling of a couple keys.
If you are committed to modifying your keyboard, you could try an app like this:
http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/
You could also use this app with a Mac keyboard connected to your Windows computer, as suggested above. If I recall correctly, a Mac keyboard on Windows will make the COMMAND key equal to the WINDOWS key. Either, way, you are setting yourself up for huge headaches because these keys mean slightly different things on each computer. Just learn how to use the Windows keyboard as it is. I'm sure you cannot really be mentally challenged over this. -
Contextual / Shortcut / Right / Control click response delay
An old puzzle which lingers after various O/S upgrades etc. when I right click, Control click or otherwise request a shortcut / Contextual menu.
First there is a pause for a few seconds, then the beachball spins for a few seconds and finally the menu appears. Not the instant response one would expect.
Once I have done this once per application though the problem goes away for that application until the application is launched again.
Any tips would be appreciatedEdwin, thanks for responding. I looked in the folders you mentioned. There are a couple of files in each. Nothing that looks out of place to my uneducated eye.
The problem does not discriminate, all programs suffer the same delay. I don't know OSX methodology but it seems that whatever routine that loads the contextual menus on application start up is not running. I have lived with it for years as it is not critical hoping that at each OS upgrade (Mine is one of the original 10.2 models) it will fix it. I am right up to date with the latest 10.4.7 but still this little thorn in my side niggles an otherwise fantastic experience I'm having with the computer.
