Targeting a symbol (to show / hide) within another composition using a trigger in the current loaded composition.

I apologize if my question is confusing. I'm still fairly new to Edge and I hope I'm correctly explaining my issue. I've been using the Edge Commons composition loader to build this interactive:
link to interactive: http://edwin-choi.com/main_screen.html
If you go to care provider --> intro --> 3, and then wait a bit, a purple glow will appear right below the primary navigation labeled "Bariatric Surgeries". This was coded using an invisible button with an 'onclick' state. I wanted to make it so that the purple glow appears on top of that primary navigation label instead of below. However, the primary navigation is in a separate composition. I tried pasting the following code into the "intro" composition to target the glow which is in the main_screen composition (which is where the primary navigation is). movie3 (in the main_screen composition) is the symbol in which the glow element is animated, and the folders are organized like the following:
mainscreen (folder) --> main_screen.html
--> patient_intro (folder) --> patient_intro.html
sym.getComposition(“mainscreen/main_screen.html”).getStage().getSymbol(“movie3").$(“glow”).play();
What happens is that none of the areas in the "intro" composition are interactive after inserting this code.
Any kind of feedback would be appreciated thank you in advance!

hey Rex,
I think I understand what you mean. This might help:
you could try making a rectangle with opacity 0% and use it as the area the user will click. then make sure this rectangle is at the top of the elements list on the main stage.
This should allow you to place other element over each other(e.g the full button glow over the button) and allow it to still be accessible by the user.
you can also use the code getComposition() with blank parameter and should work the same as getComposition(“mainscreen/main_screen.html”)
Hope this helped

Is there a way to show / hide email campaign newsletter opt-in form based on current opt-in status?

We have a secure zone with email campaign opt-in as both a part of the registration form and as a stand alone form for users logged into the secure zone.
We want to only show the opt-in form to users who are not already registered for the campaign, but cannot find a way to do this via modules / tags / liquid / API.
I have searched the forums and cannot believe this is not possible. If not possible, it should be put on the list of development requests.
Is this possible and if not, any suggestions?
The best workaround I can think of is to use a CRM field to track campaign opt-in status and then js/css or liquid to show / hide the form.
Thanks.

You won't be able to have a page showing 24 charts per host.
I really think that it is a bad idea to create a group per host, just to have the ability to add many charts.
The maintenance effort will be a big penalty.

Show options for projected amount of time based on the current date?

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to go about this, or has done something similar before.
I would like to be able to have the user see what the current date is, and then based on that, be able to schedule an appointment for say, the next two weeks, given that they can select either a Tuesday or Wednesday. (When they "schedule" an appointment, I would just be sending out that info to a spreadsheet or something.)
So, if today is Tuesday, 6/10/14, they will then see that they can select either Wednesday, 6/11, or a different Tuesday or Wednesday within the next two weeks. Ideally, they would be able to see all of those possible dates listed out, and click/select one.
If this isn't possible in Captivate, is there another way to do this, and then embed that within that as a web page or object in Captivate, or run a script, maybe?

I don't think you'd find a way to do the actual date changes and scheduling through CP - that's far more advanced that it's intended for. If there is a way, it'll take complex Actionscripting (and likely external javascripting).
BUT if your developers can create a webpage that does this (i.e. .NET or PHP), sure, you could put that on a webserver somewhere then use a 'Web Object' in CP to import that page into an iframe so users can interact.
CP won't know what the users are doing in the iframe...but with CP you could put instructions on the page too, maybe some general callouts, and follow up with a quiz or so.

In ff 36 when siging out of a website another tab opens instead of closing the current tab

When I updated to V.36 this action started . With certain websites when I try to sign out instead of the webpage closing, a new tab opens and the home page of the same website opens. The original tab is still open with my account information still logged on and the only way to log off is to click the X on the Tab.
The problem disappears when I uninstalled Tab Mix Plus. This issue did not happen in the earlier version of FF and I always used Tab Mix Plus with the previous versions.

Instead of closing the tab where you logged out, what if you reload it using Command+r (or the reload button in the address bar). Does it show that you are properly logged out at that point?
My guess is that the site is sending a redirect after logout and somehow that is getting diverted to a new tab for some reason instead of loading in the same tab. I don't have any good guess as to why that would happen. You might pose this question on the Tab Mix Plus support forum to see whether it's a setting you can change or a compatibility issue with Fx36:

Nest a DataGrid within another DataGrid using ActionScript?

I am running into an interesting issue. I am trying to nest a
DataGrid in a column of another DataGrid by setting the
ItemRenderer property. But I am hitting a well that might be due to
the way setting itemRenderers are done in ActionScript or just my
ignorance.
Here's the issue -
When I set the itemRenderer property of for a grid column, it
has to be set as follows -
col.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(DataGrid);
But if I do that, since I am dealing with the class and not
the instance of the DataGrid, how do I set the dataProvider,
columns and other properties for my nested grid? I know we can do
this in MXML but how to achieve the same in ActionScript?
Thank you.

A very interesting question. I should try this myself at some
point. If you were using a drop-in itemRenderer, it might look like
this:
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="gridData" ... >
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{data.gridData}" width="100%"
height="100%" ...>
</mx:DataGrid>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
In ActionScript, this might work, but you would need to
extend DataGrid or use a container wrapper.
class DataGridItemRenderer extends DataGrid {
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
super.data = value;
dataProvider = data.
gridData;
This should do it.

I tried to charge my iPad Air and when I plugged it in the charge symbol would show up, but my iPad wouldn't actually hold the charge. What should I do?

I tried turning the device off and on and I even reset it. I also tried to charge it overnight but that didn't work either. I let the battery run out and I've tried charging it after but it still doesn't work. I tried four different wall sockets and tried charging with my computer with no luck. Even when the device is plugged in it won't turn on all the way. The Apple logo appears then it shuts off, but it does this repeatedly as if it forever resetting (this only happens when plugged in).

The genius at the Genius Bar ended up replacing my iPad Air with a new one. It was a quick visit which made me happy, but I wish my replacement iPad had an engraving like my original one.

How do I highlight and copy material from one document to another by using keyboard commands? The tool bar is not appearing as it typically does.

How do I copy material from one document to the next by using keyboard commands. I am copying from Word into and external database and the external system seems to be covering my tool bar from which I would typically click editing shortcut commands.

Highlight what you want to copy, then command - C. To paste, select where you want it to go, then command - V.

Robo v9 Show/Hide without Twisties - One button no longer working

Hey there, as stated I am using Robo v9 with Show/Hide without Twisties (One button) with javascipts. We have most of our images using DHTML drop-downs and when folks click on "Show All Images" on the page, the GIF changes to "Hide All Images" and all drop-downs (our images) and expanding text are diaplayed.
It had been working all the time, but now it only works when I right click the topic in the TOC and choose "Edit Topic", then while in the Edit Window (Display view), when I do a View (Ctrl-W) and it displays the page within RoboHelp..I can click the "Show All Images" and it works like it always had. BUT, if that page is not in the Edit Window, and I right click "Preview Topic", the click "Show All Images" (or on the DHTML dropdown itself) it will NOT show the images, *but the GIF image does properly toggle to "Hide All Images" (and if I do again, then it properly toggles to the "Show All Images" GIF, if I do it again), but now NO images are getting displayed for some reason. It also NEVER works properly when I publish to our website (even when clicking the DHTML dropdown itself), but the GIF images toggle properly.
If I right click and choose "Preview Topic" and click "View With" and use Internet Explorer 8 it still never works anymore, unless the topic is in the Edit Window (Display View), so I know the issue is not on the server. It stops working after I do a generate and run on my pc. Also when I view it IE8 within Robo (and Allow the Blocked Content to run the scripts), many instances of the same error is shown as:
Message: Access is denied.
Line: 2646
Char: 3
Code: 0
URI: file:///D:/Users/_RBH9_TPO-Generate/v9-testing/ehlpdhtm.js
...but I *do* have access to the folder system, but in checking the coding of the ehlpdhtm.js, that area show, where I believe line 2646, character 3 starts at the "values = getAttribute(element, prop );" line below...but maybe something does not exist:
==
//End HTML code invoked function
function InitEffect( element, prop )
var values = null;
if( getAttribute(element,prop))
values = getAttribute(element, prop );
else if( getAttribute( element, "currentStyle" ) && element.currentStyle.getAttribute)
values = element.currentStyle.getAttribute( prop );
else if (element.style.getAttribute)
values = element.style.getAttribute( prop );
if( !values )
return;
var functions = new Array();

I have a much older backup when restored, it all works properly again in all cases, but I have done so much work since then that I think would need to be manually redone. I have played with keeping those some javascipts alone (in case I changed something) and updated the rest of the data files I had added, deleted the .CPD file, but it somehow stops working again, probably with some updated file. I am not sure what specific files could be causing the negative impact that is preventing it from working. Maybe if I knew what files could impact, I couldrestore those from my old backup. The newer backups when restored do not work properly, so there was a point in time where something changed and is causing this.
All prior versions of RoboHelp (v7 and v8) have always worked and still do. I am using v9.0.1.262, as the latest version has not yet been allowed on our pcs (per security), but since my earlier backup works, I thought it may not be the issue, but wanted to tell you anyway. ;->
Any ideas on how I should proceed? What files may have impact to cause it not to work anymore? The showhide.js is the only .js to show up as a baggage file. Also, the DHTML line does exits in each html page's code, as we are still using Robo v7 as the production software and the Show/Hide always works, and I copy them into the respective Robo v9 folders (and if new, then I copy them, then import them), otherwise the newer v7 updated pages are copied over the older v9 html files while RoboHelp is closed.
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

I may have figured out what to fix to get v9 back to working on the Show/Hide button, but not the "why?" .
It looks to all be dealing with the Robo automatic html coding of where to locate the .js file(s)...here is a quick overview of this issue and what I did. When I view the non-working pages within Internet Explorer 8 within Robo (and Allow the Blocked Content to run the scripts), I saw many instances of the same error is shown as this in the log, which implied since I *do* have access rights, maybe the file was just not being found.
Message: Access is denied.

OK, here are my findings. EXAMPLE #1 and EXAMPLE #2 below are excerpts of the same file. EXAMPLE #1 is from Robo v7 and is copied to the v9 folder after it was updated so our soon to be "production" webhelp will be from Robo v9 (instead of making the same manual updates in Robo v9 as in Robo v7, I copy the updated the .html file to the Robo v9 file system). Note the direction of the directory slashes of the java scripts listed below, as they are all DOS type slashes (back slashes), EXCEPT for ehlpdhtm.js as it is the ONLY one using UNIX (forward) slashes.
EXAMPLE #1 (from Robo v7)
==
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="..\..\sty-std-topic.css">
<script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript x-save-method=compute-relative
src="..\..\showhide.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<robohelp><script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript1.2 src="../../ehlpdhtm.js"
x-save-method=compute-relative></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript1.2>

</script>
==
EXAMPLE #2(from Robo v9)
This is from the restored backup of the Robo v9 files that always work when I restore them, and note they are ALL UNIX (forward) slashes. These backup files were generated from Importing/Upgrading a copy of the Robo v7 files into Robo v9.
++
<title>[Endpoint Protection] Symantec Overview</title>
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="../../sty-std-topic.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="../../showhide.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
</script><?rh-script_end ?>
++
Additional info: The following is from another file from the Robo v9 backup files that always WORK and once again they are ALL UNIX (forward) slashes.
~~
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="../../sty-std-topic.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="../../showhide.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
</script><?rh-script_end ?>
~~
BUT since all .js files are referenced in EXAMPLE #1 have DOS slashes (back slashes), EXCEPT for the ehlpdhtm.js, I decided to change the line in ehlpdhtm.js FROM src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" TO src="..\..\ehlpdhtm.js" and IT (this one page) BEGAN WORKING AGAIN after I published. So having all DOS back slashes DOES work in Robo v9!!!! BUT it appears that Robo v9 only generates new pages using UNIX (forward) slashes in ALL coding. I've read about issues like this occurring with the FireFox browser, but we only use IE8, and have not read anything like this related to IE8 issues.
So if all UNIX forward slashes and all DOS back slashes can work in Robo v9 in finding and using ehlpdhtm.js, (the Show/Hide buttons function properly) why is this problem existing in Robo v9 when there are mixed "slashes" (using forward and backward)? ...and the mixed slashes ALWAYS works in Robo v7! They do not have to all be in the same direction in Robo v7 as it appears to have to be in the newer/more advanced Robo v9. Why does it matter that all slashes need to be all the same direction, if Robo v9 CAN actually read and figure out the DOS back slashes (formatted by Robo v7 creation) and actually generates UNIX forward slashes for the .js files in new Robo v9 output within the .html?
More importantly will I have to always do a Global search and replace in Robo v9 to change the direction of the "back slashes" when I copy updated Robo v7 .html files into the Robo v9 folders (instead of manually reworking each change), while in transition from v7 to v9?
Thanks in advance any information, recommendations, and feedback as your time is greatly appreciated!

Show/hide layer bug PS 12.01.x64?

I know that you OPT-Cllick on the eyeball to show or hide multiple layers in PS on the Mac. I could hide all by OPT-clicking on one eyeball. But OPT-Clicking it again did not show all the hidden layers again. It did nothing. Even after several reboots.I had to manually turn on all the layers.
But then I CONTROL-Clicked on the eyeball to bring up the context menu, which said "Show/Hide all layers" and somehow that woke up the show/hide function when OPT-Clicking on an eyeball. So now everything works normally. The FNCT-Click (or right mouse button) on the eyeball has become a switch to turn on the OPT-Click behavior.
Anyone else notice this?
Thanks

The second Option+Eyeball click is a not a "show hidden layers" command, it goes to the previous state of visible layers... so if you opt+eyeball+click to just see one layer, then for whatever reason make another layer visible, or hide that layer and make another visible, or if you manually hid all but one layer, then that second opt+eyeball+click will appear not to work (if your expectation is to have all the layers become visible)
Kind of a convoluted answer there! But try that out and see if that is what you are experiencing.
I think at one point, quite a few versions ago, the opt+eyeball+click was a "show this layer/show all hidden layers" command. But Adobe changed the behavior because the second opt+click would make every layer visible, including the layers you had intentionally hidden.

Disjointed Rollovers with show / hide layers

Creating a series of thumnails on a page which, when clicked
on, will bring up full size image in one spot and relevant text in
another. I'm using Show / Hide Layers to do this. I've got it all
working fine except stumbling on one thing. Probably obvious.
The question I have is how to make the currently showing
layers go away when the user clicks on another thumbnail. If I was
using onMouseover and onMouseout then that would be simple. But I
can't figure out how to automatically make the layers currently
showing go back to being hidden when another thumbnail is clicked.
What I get instead is the new layers appearing on top of the old
ones and making a mess.
Probably an obvious solution, but my brain is not getting it
at the moment. Suggestions?
Thanks...
-Jesse

Don't use the show/hide at all. Use SetText of Layer to write
the required
content into a single layer.
Or - if you don't quite get that, just use PVII's AutoLayer
extension which
will show one and hide all the rest automatically.

Explanation of show/hide parent?

The reason I am asking is: I don't seem to have those options (show/hide Parent) when right clicking on folders in the tree. The way I have been organizing in LR4 is by creating a new top level folder and dragging the individual folders into that new folder (within LR).
I will be moving to a new computer soon and want to make sure the move goes well...
Thanks,
kristin

If the parent folder is shown in LR (which, in my case is D:), then all of the subfolders will not show the command "Show Parent". If you right click on the parent folder, it should say "Hide This Parent".
If the parent folder is not shown in LR ... well, I'm sure you can guess
The purpose is to allow you to configure the appearance of the Folder Panel.

Captivate: Using Javascript to show/hide text captions

Hello,
I want to show/hide a text caption using javascript. I can't find the way of doing it with advanced actions. I dont know if it's because it belongs to a question slide in a pool. Does somebody knows if it's possible and how it can be done??

You can set the length of the variable when you insert it.
15 characters is just the default setting.
What I meant by COULD is that the kind of thing you are asking about here (using JavaScript to hide objects inside a Captivate movie at runtime) is not as simple as you'd like it to be.
JavaScript is not my particular area of expertise, but there are some people that chime in on this forum that ARE experts at JS. But I think they would also be the first to say that it's not as simple a thing to pull off as just "knowing the command to hide/show an object".
The easiest tool to use in Captivate for showing or hiding objects is Advanced Actions. The next easiest thing to use is ActionScript 3, and that's hard. JavaScript is a very useful programming language, but it spends all of its life outside the Captivate movie looking in through AS3's External Interface. So JS alone is not going to solve all your issues.
