Safari: SWF doesn't resize during window resize

I'm seeing a resize problem with Safari and FP9 beta, at
least when the SWF is loaded directly in the browser window without
an HTML wrapper. When you resize the browser window, the app
contents in the SWF don't change size until the window resize is
complete. In other browsers (Camino, for example), the SWF contents
resize as the window does.

This bug has persisted for two years and four months, through three major OS releases and numerous incremental updates.
Zooming Finder windows has been around since System 7, or was it 6, or earlier? How could nobody have noticed this?
Apple seems to be incapable of fixing these silly little glitches.

View Area not Resizing with Window Resize

Hello-
When I resize a window that has a pdf in it (in reader or through browser), the pdf doesn't adapt to the new window size. For instance, if the pdf opens in a small window and I maximize the window, the pdf will remain in one corner of the maximized window with scroll bars on it. The pdf area does not change size.
Is this a setting that I may have noobishly mal-adjusted? Or is this a bug/incompatibility?
The only exception to this problem is if the pdf is changed to full screen mode. In full screen the pdf changes size to match the window and re-centers.
I keep the auto-update feature on and have installed all updates. I am running Vista Ultimate on an HP tablet PC.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give me,
Andy

Node Container that does not resize with Window Resize Event

Hello,
I'm not new to Java but I am new to JavaFX.
I plan to have a container/Canvas with multiple shapes (Lines, Text, Rectangle etc) in it. This Container can be X times in the Szene with different Text Shapes. I need to Zoom and Pan (maybe rotation) the whole Szene and the Containers/Canvas.
So I was playing around with that but I have two issues.
1) all Canvas classes that I found (like Pane for example) do resize with the main window resize event. The content of the canvas isn't centered any more.
2) I added a couple of Rectangles to the canvas and both the rectangles and the canvas have a mouse listener which will rotate the item/canvas. Problem is, that even if I click the rectangle also the underlaying canvas is rotated...I think I need some kind of Z-Info to find out what was clicked.
Here is the little example program, it makes no produktiv sense but it demonstrates my problem.
Does anybody has a tip what canvas class would fit and does not resize with the main window and how to figure out what was clicked?

To answer my own Question, it depends how you add childs.
It seems that the "master Container", the one added to the Scene will allways resize with the window. To avoid that you can add a container to the "master Container" and tell it to be
pane.setPrefSize(<child>.getWidth(), <child>.getHeight());
pane.setMaxSize(<child>.getWidth(), <child>.getHeight());
root.getChildren().add(pane);and it will stay the size even if the window is resized.
Here is the modified code. Zooming and panning is working, zomming to window size is not right now. I'll work on that.

Safari 5 doesn't open a window and quits unexpectedly

My computer upgraded to Safari 5.0 and now Safari doesn't work. Is there a way to uninstall this upgrade?

Are you looking for Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
No. That's your Mac OS X.
You are troubleshooting third party Safari add-ons.
Do you think you can copy and paste a crash log here for us?
Open a Finder window. From the Menu Bar click Go / Go to Folder. Copy/paste this path into the Finder dialog: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
Click Go. The Finder will open containing the crash log. Copy and paste the most recent log here.
If you don't want to do that you can revert to a previous version of Safari here.
http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/downgrade-from-safari-5-0-to-safari-4-0-5/
But if you have trouble distinguishing between a third party plugin and your operating system, I strongly advise you to not try that.

Safari 6 doesn't have "Activity Window"

How do I set Safari to automatically resize new window when opening a link?

Here is the scenario. I have one Safari window open, I click a link that is on that page, I have Safari set to open a new window (not a new tab) so that is what it does. It opens a new window from that link, but the new window is too small. It is about 1/4 the size of a window that fills up the screen. How do I set up Safari so that when I open a link in a window, it automatically resizes the new window to fill the screen?
Thanks much,
Paula Jo

Hi Paula Jo
Next time a new window automatically opens, resize it to the desired size by dragging the lower right corner. Then, click on the red button in the upper left to close it.
Now, select a link in your existing browser window to open the 2nd window. It ought to be the same size as what was set previously.
Let me know if that works.

Safari prevents JavaScript window resize?

Hello,
I'm working to integrate some streaming video into an intranet site via popup windows. It seems that Safari is not responding to the JavaScript self.resizeTo or self.moveTo methods when we attempt to put the streaming media player into fullscreen mode.
For additional context:
Tthe expansion to fullscreen is initiated by clicking on a button in a Flash media application, but there is a defined JavaScript event handler that will subsequently call the self.resizeTo and self.moveTo methods on the browser window. This is not working in Safari, though it works in IE and Firefox.
If there are considerations or caveats that relate to JavaScript and the manipulation of window size/placement, I would greatly appreciate any information.
I found this link (http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-20050228/170191.html) that may be relevant to this discussion, but I haven't seen it validated.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,

After some testing, it appears that my problem does not exist with basic JavaScript window resizing and movement. In test scenarios, when javascript commands are placed in anchor tags, clicking the links will result in appropriate window movement and resizing. The issue seems to be the fact that the window resizing is not directly user initiated (at least not by clicking on an HTML link).
Are there any features of Safari that would prevent Flash-driven events from successfully triggering JavaScript actions?

Text runs of the page / doesn't resize with window

Window Resize Bug In PS CS5 using CSXSInterface

Hello,
I am developing a Photoshop Panel using the CS Flex SDK 3.4.0 which uses CSXSInterface.evalScript() to communicate with an Automate plugin. Sometimes this panel starts a timer to call use evalScript() to call a function in the plugin.
I have noticed that when the timer fires evalScript(), if the user is dragging or resizing any Photoshop window, the window snaps back to its original size and position. It is only possible to move or resize a window if evalScript() is not called at any time during the move/resize. At first I thought that the timer fires infrequently enough that this wouldn't be a large deal, but after testing for about a week, it happens more often than I'd like, and my testers find it extremely frustrating when it happens even once.
I'm developing on Mac using Photoshop CS5, but will be supporting both CS5 and CS5.5 on both Mac and Win before release. The panel doesn't work properly on Windows yet, so I don't know if this bug exists in Windows PS.
I have searched for a result for the past few days, and come up empty. At this point, I'm looking for one of the following solutions:
1. Some way to stop CSXSInterface from yanking the window out from under the user. E.g., is there some property I'm not setting on the CSXSInterface shared instance that would fix this bug?
2. Some way to determine if the user is holding down the mouse button anywhere on the screen. Right now I can only receive MOUSE_DOWN events when the mouse is over my panel, and I can't find a way to poll the mouse for its button state. If I knew that the mouse button was down, I could assume that the user might be dragging a window and reset the timer.
3. Some other way of communicating with an Automate plugin. I experimented with using a socket connection between the panel and the plugin, but the automate plugin is run by the Photoshop plugin, and I can't find a way to get Photoshop to run code in the plugin at regular intervals (to receive and process socket data). If there was some kind of function I could expose to PS to call on a regular basis, I could use an alternate IPC.
Thank you for your time and advice!

I apologize for the double-post, but I have now tested the panel in Windows, and the bug is even worse. My panel has a couple text boxes, and if the user is typing in one of them when the timer fires, the text box loses focus and the user's keystrokes are interpreted as Photoshop keyboard shortcuts.

Error when resizing IE Window

Hi Folks,
I am a software tester for our company and have been trying
to put Captivate 2 through our certification process. We came
across an error and I was wondering if anyone else has seen
anything similar... We start a new recording session, open up
Internet Explorer and go to a web site (i.e. www.google.com) and
resize the window. This results in an error - "Internet Explorer
has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience." We click Close and IE shuts down. When Captivate is
not recording we can resize the window without any issues. We are
running Windows XP Pro with IE 6. My personal laptop at home does
the same thing. I've narrowed it down to web sites that place a
curser in a text box by default (the search box on Google, a web
site you need to put in your credentials for). If a text box is not
selected (the cursor is not blinking), then the resize works fine.
Any ideas? I've been trying to work with the Adobe support
and haven't been too successful getting help from them yet. So
until I can end the run-around, I figured I'd post here.
Thanks all!

Hi Rick! Thanks for the quick response! All the computers
I've been using have IE 6. We are not able to upgrade to IE 7
because we know it breaks some of our critical software at the
moment. This happens in Software Simulation using any recording
mode and it I've tried enabling/disabling different options under
"Recording Options". I've also tried different resolutions and
disabling hardware acceleration for the video card as Adobe
suggested in their knowledgebase. All resulted in the error.
I just knew someone would make a comment about resizing the
window during recording
Yeah, while I don't use Captivate for production
myself, I know the people who do will definately come across this.
In fact, one of the users who came by to try it out found the
problem in the first place. And I found that management doesn't
like workarounds (I tried convincing them) because once we
"certify" it, then any problems become our problem. So I guess I'm
stuck trying to find a solution
It looks like I might finally have another chance to
call Adobe, though, so I'll see if I can get anything from them.
Thanks for your help! And if you happen to think of anything
else, please let me know.

Resize Application Window on Mac Shutdown

Hello,
I want to be able to run this AppleScript automatically during my Mac's shutdown, so Safari is positioned "correctly" next time I start my computer. It works great if I run the application from Finder, however once I created a Logout Hook to run this AppleScript, the window is no longer being resized (the AppleScript is defiently running during shutdown).
tell application "Safari"
activate
set bounds of front window to {328, 22, 1352, 962}
quit
end tell
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You have very little control over the order of processes in a shutdown scenario - if Safari has already quit before your LoginHook is called then you're just out of luck.
Instead, consider turning your problem on its head - rather than trying to fix it when you log out, why not fix it when you log IN.
A simple AppleScript as a login item that launches Safari and sets the window bounds as you prefer should take care of it, and won't have any execution order dependencies.

Allowing user to resize a Windows executable? Getting full screen visible?

I am publishing to .exe format due to some issues with SWF and the content of our presentations.
In testing the .exe, I have two problems:
-- I'd like the user to be able to resize the window for the presentation but this doesn't seem to be possible. I've tried both "fullscreen" check box and no full screen at the point of publish
-- Some of the edges of the training screens are not visible.
The part of the screen to the far right is not visible to the user even though it is visible on the screen and in other publishing modes.
I wonder if this is the fault of having a TOC?
I tried to make the table of contents more narrow, but Captivate resets my TOC width to 250 no matter what I put in.
I tried publishing the TOC both separately and overlaid.
Publishing it as overlaid with the checkbox for fullscreen seems to "solve" the problem, but the TOC is invisible unless you know to look for it.
I would prefer the TOC to remain up the entire time to the left of the presentation to allow users to review and to see their progress, but publishing it as "separate" with both fullscreen and non fullscreen publish options results in not being able to see the right side of the screen.
Any tips for me?

The minimum width allowed for a TOC is 250 pixels. You cannot go lower.
From what you describe, I would say that this is one of those "you can't have your cake and eat it too" scenarios.
When using FullScreen view, it seems that Captivate is not taking into account the width of the TOC when it resizes. Yet it knows about the TOC because the TOC is still visible after resizing, even though some of the main screen is pushed off stage.
I would recommend you log this as a bug with Adobe. There are often use cases like this that just don't get tested and slip through the cracks in a large application like Captivate.
Your workaround is to use Overlay TOC mode when using fullscreen. If the TOC icon is too 'invisible' for your taste, you can change these icons into something bigger and bolder to make it more obvious.

Computer shut off while resizing my Windows partition

So, I was resizing my windows partition using gparted, like I often do, however, I stupidly decided to do it without plugging in my power supply for my macbook, and the computer ran out of battery while the resizing process was happening. Now, gparted states that dev/sda4, my windows partition, has an unknown filesystem, and my windows partition also doesn't show up in Mac OS X finder or the option-key menu at boot anymore, which leads me to believe that either the file system information or the boot information was lost when my computer shut down. Also, I was resizing my windows partition from 115 to 135gb, and gparted states that dev/sda4 is 135gb, so my computer probably shut off after the size-increasy part. I have two ideas of how to fix it at the moment. I have a Windows 8 installation disk that I can use as a repair disk, and I was also going to try using ntfsprogs in a Ubuntu live CD to see if that fixes it. However, since I'm too scared of losing my data before I accidentally overwrite anything, I decided to try and back up my important files, so I dried to mount it in Ubuntu. Strangely enough, when I ran fdisk in ubuntu, it stated that dev/sda4 was actually fat32 system instead of ntfs, and I have no idea why. I tried to mount dev/sda4 as both a fat32 system and a ntfs system, however, in both cases, terminal stated that dev/sda4 did not exist, even though it showed up in fdisk.
Anyone else accidentally shut off their system during partion resizing? There's probably different levels of severity based on where the process was, but I hope none of my personal files were deleted. I really don't mind if I have to erase my partition and reinstall Windows, (although I'd rather not) but I do want to find some way to mount the drive to back up my important files?

If it has been an hour it is stuck. Disconnect it, reboot your computer, and follow the directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Recently, whenever a pop window opens with a prompt the window has a tab, so I have to resize the window in order to click on the action "enter" or "save". How can I get rid of this?

I'm a blogger and I use a web based text editor and when I input photos I have to click on a button that opens a popup where I put in the URL of the photo and have to hit "ok". In the last few weeks the pop up windows now automatically have a tab and I have to expand the window (resize) in order to click "ok". Considering that it only adds the tab AFTER I press paste/ctrl-v is so annoying and time consuming. It never used to do this before - what happened?
This started around the time I installed stumbleupon toolbar but I'm not sure if they're related. I took the toolbar off my default browser window and it doesn't show up on the popups. But just thought I'd give that info in case it's causing it somehow?
I don't know how to fix this :(

You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a POST form.<br />
Firefox can only make sure to get the same page by resending that POST form.<br />
Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.<br />
A way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click.<br />
Then you can close that tab or window to go back.<br />

How do webpage developers get Firefox to use the windows.resize or windows.moveTo javascript functions that seem to now be passed over?

Before V7, this code worked and did as requested every time the page was run. Now, it does not work and no error is reported. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer are able to produce th correct result.
<script type="text/javascript">
window.resizeTo(325,700);
window.moveTo(1150,10);
</script>
I have a site where I use window.open to create a login window with minimum chrome.
On successful login, the window that created the login window updates itself to another page. The login window is supposed to resize itself and move to create a console panel to the right of the screen.
I have tried to update the window from its parent at the point of successful login (flagged by a database change, checked frequently). I have also included code in the new window itself to resize itself to no avail.
The new code seems to be failing on both the conditions laid out!

Some conditions were added in 7.0 to avoid abuse of the resize and move functions:
#Can't resize a window/tab that hasn't been created by window.open.
#Can't resize a tab if the tab is in a window with more than one tab.
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565541#c24
There's still some discussion on the bug - including some solutions and troubleshooting for pages that were affected that shouldn't be - and it's being tracked to make sure it doesn't have any adverse effects.
