Simlpe way to load an image with URL link into iOS with AIR
I want to be able to display an image (basically a small banner) inside my iPhone game which is loaded from my server where I can advertise new games.
What's the best way to do this?
Are there any technical issues I should be aware of?
Does it fall foul of any of Apples policies?
Thanks for any advice.
It's not at all against policy but you do need a backup plan for devices without connectivity. Package a default banner to load if there is no internet access.
Apple does not require you to ask the person permission to use the internet (like Android does). You're free to load whatever you like.
You can't load or change code regardless so don't worry about that. In fact you can only even package a SWF that contains absolutely no code, otherwise it won't load, so there's no way to change the code in an iOS app. All it can do is read something on the outside and modify its behavior via pre-written and packaged code, but you can't "load or change code" in any way.
For now, mobile apps are not getting the "premium feature" tax Adobe is putting into motion August 1st. They excluded mobile. But be warned (because you made a game and might use Stage3D, who knows) that things might become more complicated if your game is serving custom banners, you're turning a profit on it and you exceed $50,000 in sales while using premium features. Like I said though, this doesn't pertain to mobile apps, yet..

How to display URL images and URL link (html) from Smartforms?
Hi Gurus,
I'm having difficulty on how to display targeted URL images and URL link from the smartforms, after i sending it out as html mail. The mail i sent just can be preview as a plain text, which can't execute the html code that i put inside the smartforms itself. I follow a few step from this very useful blog.. Hopefully, you guys can give me some solutions or ideas on this.

Thanks and Regards.1- put your images in a directory under the web app directory. Example: app/images/
2- in your jsp, use: String file = application.getRealPath("/images/"); to get the images directory. See http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)
3- it's not the right forum to post this kind of question. Post them in the JSP/Servlet JSTL forum instead -
When I am in firefox and I go to google and click on a link, it pops up as something else randomly. The only way it works is by coping the link into address bar. I thought it might be google so I went to bing and it did the same thing. it will not go to the link but instead change to livesearchnow or ihavenet.com
It is really a pain as I search google ALOT. So please someone help. I reset firefox once and even reinstalled it once as well as updated it once. Nothing works.Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />

Hi,
Is it possible to insert a url link into the itunes description tag in a feed. I want the user to be able to access my webpage from within itunes
ThanksIn the next release, we will be making adding our Measurement Studio components to existing projects much easier, but for now what you would need to do is add the support for Measurement Studio to your MFC project manually as detailed in our Knowledgbase at:

How do I insert a URL link into a text document
How do I insert a URL link into a Word document
Don't have Word available to test, but it seems to depend on the program.
In Pages and TextEdit, if you drag the favicon from the addrss box in your browser into the document, it will be pasted in already formatted as a clickable link expressed in plain text. The favicon (I think that's the name for that element) is this item -
However, in AppleWorks 6.2.9, all that did was drop the raw URL into the document; and it is non-clickable, just text. In AW 6 you need to type the plain-text name for the link (how you want the underlined bit to appear), select that, then go to the Format menu and select Create Link, from it choosing Internet. In the new screen, the linkname will already be entered in the upper box; paste the URL into the lower box, and it's done. -
Fastest way to load an image into memory
hi, ive posted before but i was kinda vague and didnt get much of a response so im going into detail this time. im making a java program that is going to contol 2 robots in a soccer competition. ive decided that i want to go all out and use a webcam instead of the usual array of sensors so the first step is to load an image into the memory. (ill work on the webcam once ive got something substanical, lol) since these robots have to be rather small (21cm in diameter) i can only use some pretty crappy processors. the robots are going to be both running gentoo linux on a 600 mhz processor, therefore it is absoleutely vital i have a fast method of loading and analyzing images. i need to be able to both load the image quickly, and more importainly analyze it quickly. ive looked at pixelgrabber which looks good, but ive read several things about javas image handling beging crap. these articles are a few years old, and im therefore wonding if there anything from the JAI that will do this for me. thx in advance.
well i found out why i was having so much trouble
installing JAI. im now back on windows and i cant
stand it, so hopefully the bug will be fixed soon. oIt's not so bad. I mean, that's why we love Java! Once your linux problem is fixed you can just transfer your code there as is.
well. i like the looks of JAI.create() but im not so
sure how to use it. at this stage im tying to load an
image from a file. i no to do this with pixelgrabber
you use getcodebase(), but i dont know how to do it
with JAI.create. any advice is appreciated. thx.Here are some example statements for handling a JAI image. There are other ways, I'm sure, but I've no idea which are faster, sorry. But this is quite fast on my machine.
PlanarImage pi = JAI.create("fileload", imgFilename);
WritableRaster wr = Raster.createWritableRaster(pi.getSampleModel(), null);
int width = pi.getWidth(); // in case you need to loop through the image
int height = pi.getHeight();
wr = pi.copyData(); // copy data from the planar image to the writable one
wr.getPixel(w,h,pixel); // pixel is an int array with three elements.
int red = pixel[0]; // to find out what's the red component
int[] otherPixel = {0,0,0}
wr.setPixel(w,h,otherPixel); // make pixel at location (w,h) black. And here's a link with sample code using JAI. I've tried several of the programs there and they work.

How to supply events with url links in a public readable event calendar?

hypertext links so reader can click on it and lead to a 'more info' page?

(ba_music.ics) to JSmith's BayAreaMusic calendar, I got no problem when
importing. Then, when I looked at the calendar, I expected to see hyperlinks,
yet what I saw were only plain text html, no links, no images( such as -

Hi,
I have a BSP with MVC design.
I assume that the URL link to the application is the URL I see when I go into the Controller page under the BSP in SE80.
Is that correct?
The problem is that when I take that URL and copy paste it into a web browser, I get the first view but when I click on any button, the controller class is not called.
If I do a right click on the BSP and select the TEST option, all is working perfectly.
Do you have any idea why this is happening or do I do something wrong?
Thanks,
ItayHi Stefan,
Same issue i have as well.
My Understanding is, in NWBC desktop, if you open a non sap (eg: html) page, NWBC becomes an IE Browser.
That means you are now out of SAP for that tab (with html page) and whenever you try to launch any SAP transaction (using the method from HTML) it will launch in a new window and ask for Login.
May be Experts like Samuli Kaski & Melinda Ludanyi can put some light on it.
But, I have one more solution for this which is partially working in my case. May be helpful in you case as well.
Issue: From some SAP transaction in NWBC (say tab A), you are launching the html page (say tab B) and then want to launch another SAP transaction (Say tab C) from html.
Solution: Embed the HTML in SAP using HTML Viewer class and launch SAP custom transaction using the interface IF_LSAPI. It will launch it in new tab as a sap transaction with your html page.
Now if you want to launch the SAP transaction from your html page (Which is embedded in SAP custom transaction) you can use HTML Viewer class Events and you can pass parameters as well. Re use the same interface IF_LSAPI and launch it in new tab
In my case i am facing problems as the web developer has so many things on java script and they are not working properly. He is working on it and i am hoping it will be fine.
Regards,
Nik -
In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.
This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.

Can Mail send interactive PDF attachments with URL links?
I have tried without success to send a PDF that has URL links embedded (made in InDesign CS3). When this mail arrives the links are stripped out from the attached PDF. I do not want to send html mail for this purpose.
Anyone have any answers? Thanks.Jon,
The strong probability is that a SPAM filter in the path to the recipient has stripped them out -- Mail would not cause this. Have you tried opening the PDF with Acrobat Pro, doing a Save As, and then attaching that version to see if the same behavior continues.

Hey all
I just finished publishing my AIR mobile app for iOS and Android, both featuring freemium style in-app purchasing/billing, for a single purpose only - opening the app to be full featured.
Now the client wants a desktop version of the app. I need a way to monetize the same way: the user wants all the features - they click a button in the app, pay the 2 dollars, and now all the features are accessible.
I think going out to PayPal, paying there and returning to the app would be best, but I cannot get the files I found here to work.
Do you have any suggestions of a workflow with examples, or a service with AS3 support?

External URL Link Into HTMLDB Application
Hi,
I have a non htmldb application that I want to link into my htmldb application via a url so I can run a report, in order to run this report I need to feed in some variables
This link i am using is
http://dev.oraclecorp.com/pls/aitmarvel/f?p=100:8:::::P8_REFRESH_HEADER_ID,P8_SR_NUMBER,P8_TARGET:82,3526357,ADMAT
The variables being
P8_REFRESH_HEADER_ID,P8_SR_NUMBER,P8_TARGET
in this case I want populated with
82,3526357,ADMAT
It goes through single sign on OK and then displays the correct page but the variables have been stripped off.
Any ideas??
Thanks ANDYHi,
are there any ideas out there to this question?
I am having exactly the same problem.
What I additionally noticed is that when you hit the link
for a second time, the parameters are passed fine.
It seems to work only when a htmldb session already exists for the application.
I am using "HTML DB as Partner Application".
I have a feeling this problem is more related to the
Single Sign On server...

You need to embed the url link within the swf itself. The way
I used to
do it was draw a transparent button over the whole aera of
the swf and
attached the url to that. Get_url I think.
I can't exactly remember the steps to produce the results but
that the
direction you should be lookin in. Maybe ask on the Flash
forum for
specific steps.
