SmartObjects: placing from external files + auto-refresh

Hello,
when I place a SmartObject from an external file PSP CS3 seems to store it in the current file; if I change the external file, the placed object does not change automatically (I have to use the replace function to apply changes in the external file).
Is there any way to use external files as SmartObjects and apply changes in the external files automatically?

No at the moment everything is embedded within the file, even Illustrator Smart objects are embedded as Illustrator files. Even if you dont own Illustrator, and you get such a PSD, you can't open the smart object. External links are at the moment impossible, and it doesnt look like they are a feature of CS4 either.
I had a freelance job recently where I was working with a team of 4 other retouchers - I desperately needed the feature of external linking preferably with server access. It would have cut hours off the job just by avoiding people having to repeat each others work. pity its not on the cards.

Creating Target Group from External File

Hello Experts
We need to create target group from external file. (That is to say we will have let's say txt file containing BP that belongs to specific target group and we need to assign these BPs to to specific target group in SAP CRM)
I have searched for it on sdn and found something benefical. I have found BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE, I have checked it but I don't understand how should we use it becuase as far as we understand it just creates target group, we cannot see anything related with Business Partner. How can we relate BPs with the target group we create by this BAPI.
What should we do, is anyone have previous experience about it? or is there a way to do it without using BAPI.
thanks it advance

Edited by: Mehmet Ergul on Jan 22, 2009 11:19 AM

Hi,
You can do this from within the standard Web UI. It's straight out of the box.
Create a profile set and in there create a target group in the target group assignment block just by entering the description of the target group. Then enter edit mode of this target group and click the button "Import Members". Remeber to mark "Change selected target group" unless you want to create a new target group.

Best to load preloader from external file or place it directly into existing movie?

Is it best to load the preloader from external file or place it directly into an already existing movie?

there's no one answer for everyone.
but for an inexperienced coder that's already completed their main project and is adding a preloader as an after-thought, it's usually easiest to create a stand-alone preloader.
and even for experienced coder's, that's usually the easiest way to preceed.

Problem in displaying topics from external files

Hello,
I have a set of Help projects created using Robohelp classic
7.00.139 by Blue sky Software Corp. There is a Master project and
sub projects linked together using “.cnt” files.
Now I want to move to HTML Help format (".chm")
Using Adobe Robohelp 6 for word, I convert all the help
projects to .CHM FILES using Batch generate option in Adobe
Robohelp 6 for word. I put all the “.chm” files in a
single folder of my application. But now the links from my MASTER
projects to the sub projects are not working.
When an external topic is selected from the master it points
correctly to the topic title in TOC, corresponding to the external
sub project but the topic from the selected external file is not
displayed there.
What could be the problem? Are there any settings to be made?
Best regards

Textinput issue from external file in AIR application (Is it bcz of mask?)

I tried to load external swf in TabNavigator. In this file, I have some input text.
I can key in external file's text input after load. But i got "Security Sandbox Violation" error.

Thanks for your reply,
Yes, the addedToStage handler is executed every time. I set my host application up to work exactly with that behaviour. There are several events going from client to host to help the communication inside the the application. I can't get behind the reason why it won't work.
I made a case where I created a camera instance inside the host application and passed it over to the client via
client.setupFunction(inArg: arg, sendCamera: Camera);
That works. But I also need a microphone, and I can't get the mic working over with the same technique. And also I'd prefer to have it all in the client, cause I designed the application model to work exactly in that fashion.
I guess it's a secruity sandboxing problem, but I can't find any documentation on this issue.
Thanks, maybe another solution can be found here. ;-)

Batch loading jpegs from external file

Hello,
I would like to preload a batch jpegs from an external file
(to make it easy for changes) - than use them in a slide-slide show
using a movieClip holder or loader component. I can use this
tutorial -
http://www.oman3d.com/tutorials/flash/portfolio_2_bc/index.php
But I don't what to have each jpeg loaded separately I want
them to preload b4 using..
What would be the best way to preload the external batch to
use for a slide show with next btn and prev btn? I can't find any
tutorials one this.
Thanks for any help,
Dave

In terms of where:
Well, for as2, you will probably need to load them as
dynamically created child clips of a single parent clip that you
use to display one swf from. You would cycle through them and just
set the _visible property of your 'current' clip to true and all
the others to false. Your next and previous buttons could change
which one was visible.
But if they are large images, you'll probably use a lot of
memory doing it this way and it would take longer to load them all
at the start. Its more usual to, for example, load all the
thumbnail images - smaller images, quicker to load - and then load
the larger one into a main viewing area when its thumbnail is
clicked.
How
There are plenty of examples of how to do this in tutorials
etc.
If you want to load all the thumbnails first, then perhaps
you won't find exactly what you want as a tutorial. Not every
possibility is covered in a tutorial. All I can really do is point
your in the right direction. If it were me I would use something
like David Stiller's MultiLoader class to make it easier perhaps
(in fact I have my own which works a little differently but was
seriously inspired by what I learnt from David's article at
http://www.quip.net/blog/2007/flash/actionscript-20/tracking-multiple-files-part1

Reference list of Identifiers from external file (ie .txt file)

Hello All,
I was hoping someone may be able to help me with a conceptual (and then technical...) line of thought?
I have a list of roughly 7000 loans to interrogate in an excel spreadheet or text file, is there a way I can get my query to reference this list, regard it as a temporary table and join it to an SQL query?
The list of loans are unique 8 digit identifiers. I have a very simple SQL query over two core tables that brings back the balance and currency for all loans on our system but I want to get these fields for the 7000 loans in question only.
I would normally just query all the loans and use a vlookup in Excel but the numbers are too big to make this viable.
The only method I currently have in place is to loop through the identifers one by one, querying each separately. Running the same query 7000 times seems rather inefficient!!
Is this a reasonable concept? If so I shall need some help with how to reference the external file, which will be gratefully received!!
Thank you :)
Jon

Hi Peter,
You're right this is ad-hoc, but this sort of situation arises all the time where I am given a list of identifiers to furnish with data, if I can figure out how to use external files it will be very useful. At least having some knid of work around would help.
Running

where grantee = 'REPORTER'

GRANTEE          PRIVILEGE          ADMIN_OPTION

REPORTER     SELECT ANY TABLE     NO
REPORTER     UNLIMITED TABLESPACE     NOSo I don't have the rights for the external tables if I understand correctly? Directory creation for example. I do appear to be able to create tables though so perhaps I can greate a TEMP table under my REPORTER login and populate it on an ad-hoc basis as you suggest.
I'm stil wading through that document! I'm going to try to talk to someone in our IT department as well about the server side.
Thanks for the advice, will update asap.

Sending and getting data from external file.

I'm running it in actionscript 1 and 2 since 3 wouldn't work when getting data from external media. I'm trying to find out how to post data to a PHP file and getting from that file I'm trying to make the flash for something that works like a game but differently. Since I just found out how to make the HTML stuff show up but a lot of times, some of my text will not appear so I don't know what's going on.
Does anyone know how to send and get data both at the same time from a sample file?
The sample file is example.php
It has to sent information like ID and NAME
and it has to get information like Description and userID

The tutorial I pointed you to does provide the visuals you requested, both the AS code and sample PHP code, so I can't see where your learning by visuals aspect holds up.... your approach sounds more like you want someone to hand you a tailored solution that you won't need to learn from. Visuals require reading and doing. If that fails to get absorbed or you couldn't understand/revise it, what could anyone else prepare for you that would work better?
I did the tutorial and everything but every time I press the button or even load it, it keeps on saying undefined. I like the have a sample FLA file so I can figure things out. I did everything from the site but it won't work out for me.
I did step 5 too because it was almost all that I was looking for but it won't even work. keeps on saying undefined. I would show you but webcam max won't work and I can't show you an example.
EDIT:
You know it's frustrating when I don't know how the heck I'm supposed to do this stuff. I read the whole dang thing and I still can't get this dang thing working.
I did everything. EVERYTHING. I just don't get this crap.

Loading Knob Digital Display Text Labels from External File

I have a knob interface. I display it on the instrument's front panel with the digital display.
The knob controls the settings on an external GPIB switch. The value of the 6 devices selected changes. I want to see the numbers 1 thru 6 on the knob, but the knob's digital display needs to show something like "12.5-13.5 MHz BPF".
I want to load the text visible in the knob's digital display from an external file located on the machine. I will not have the possibility of changing the VI for each location.
Can you do that?
If not, would an a case or event structure containing a text indicator, with text values read in from a file, be the best apporach?
73/gus

If you don't have 8.0 and XControls, you can do something like the attached. I edited the knob control and then replaced the digital display with a text ring.Message Edited by Dennis Knutson on 04-21-2006 12:32 PM

Read & write from external files in java

Hello everybody,
I need your help in two problems. I have to write a method that read specific numbers from a file, save them in an array, do some calculation on that array and write it again in a new file.
For example, I have a file that contains the following:
#VRML V1.0 ascii
Material {
diffuseColor [ 1 1 1 ]
ShapeHints {
vertexOrdering COUNTERCLOCKWISE
shapeType UNKNOWN_SHAPE_TYPE
Coordinate3 {
point [
          1 0 0 ,
          1 1 0 ,
          1 1 1 ,
          1 0 1 ,
          0 1 0 ,
          0 1 1 ,
          0 0 1 ,
          0 0 0 ,
IndexedFaceSet {
coordIndex [
0,1,2,-1,
0,2,3,-1,
1,4,5,-1,
1,5,2,-1,
3,2,5,-1,
3,5,6,-1,
0,3,6,-1,
0,6,7,-1,
6,5,7,-1,
7,5,4,-1,
0,7,4,-1,
0,4,1,-1,
I need to read the point coordinates only and save them in a two dimension array, then I'll do some transformation on that array and write it in a new file that contains the previous data but the point coordinates are the transformed coordinates. I tried the following:
FileReader in = new FileReader("C:\\hexahedron.txt");
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
          String line;
          StringTokenizer s;
          int [][] point = new int [8][3];
          int row = 0;
          int column;
          while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null) {
               s = new StringTokenizer(line);
               column = 0;
               while (s.hasMoreTokens()) {
                    if ( s.nextToken() == "[" ){
                         point [row][column++] = Integer.parseInt(s.nextToken());
               row++;
          br.close();
          in.close();
But when I tried it, I found out that it saves 0s in the array!
As I mentioned before, my problem is that I don't know how to read specific information from a file. I know how to write new information a file, but how to write a file that I already have with changed specific information.
I'll be grateful if you show me how to solve those problems.
And I hope that I explained my problems in an understandable and clear way.
Regards,

if ( s.nextToken() == "[" ){should beif (s.nextToken().equals("["){Also, you have two nextToken for each has hasMoreTokens, which is going to cause an exception.
You are never hitting the parseInt code because of your equals/== error. Therefore, everything is zeros.
The order of reading lines and checking for "[" isn't right. You should find the [ (maybe including the "point" word), then get numbers from the following lines (read line, tokenize, read line, tokenize, ...) until you hit the end of the points.

Read Multi Line from External File

Greetings all,
I am building a page that has random Bible scripture on the
bottom and I have the scriptures saved in a text file and flash
pulls it from there. I am trying to get the Chapter and verse
portion of the text to be on a new line when brought in to the
page. Examples:
quote0=And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as
yourself'. Matthew 22:39
&quote1=And we know that in all things God works for the
good of those who love him, who have been called according to his
purpose. Romans 8:28
&quote2=Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to
do what is right in the eyes of everybody. Romans 12:17
&quote3=Humility and the fear of the LORD bring wealth
and honor and life. Proverbs 22:4
&quote4=In everything I did, I showed you that by this
kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the
Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to
receive.' Acts 20:35
&quote5=Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the
LORD delivers him in times of trouble. Psalm 41:1
&quote6=Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell
in the land forever. Psalm 37:27
&quote7=Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him
with joyful songs. Psalm 100:2
&quote8=The Father loves the Son and has placed
everything in his hands. John 3:35
Notice at the end of each scripture is the chapter and verse.
Is there a way to get this to automatically get created on a new
line? On some of them, it looks funny on the page because the
Chapter name will be on one line and the verse numbers on the next.
You can see an example of the output at
www.southernhospitalitycaterers.com to see what I am referring to.
I have tried \r \n and many combinations to no avail and
would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks
Wally

You could create the chapter/verse# as separate variables.
OR
You could put a special set of characters, like "xyz" to
separate them in the file and then replace it with a line return.
AS3 has the String.replace() method and AS2 has the
Textfield.replaceText() method.
