Unexpected behaviour with my navigation buttons

Hi Guys,
I've just noticed some strange behaviour for my nav buttons in a project I've recently created. My project uses click boxes to naviage and has a Home Button which jumps from any slide (aside from Question Slides) to the first slide in the project. A next and back click box which are all set to go to the next slide / go to previous slide...
All works fine and as expected (i.e as soon as I click on the next button it goes to the next slide regardless if audio is still playing of the if the slide has finished playing) until say I get two or three pages in to the project and click the home button. It goes to the first page as expected where I click a go to next slide click box (this one takes a few seconds to appear on this slide) which immediatly goes to the next slide. Here is where my problems start... I click on next and I hear the click sound but it refuses to skip to the next slide - It plays the whole slide (50 seconds worth of audio) before it will go to the next slide...
For the life of me I cannot see why it would do this.
The click box is set to infinite attempts.
Anyone ever had a similar issue???
Thanks
JT

Help please with my navigation buttons

Can anyone please help me with my vertical navigation buttons. I'm trying to set up my nav bar so that all the buttons have a background image (button.jpg) behind them at all times and the only thing that changes when touched or the mouse rolls over them is that the colour of the text changes, except when the sub buttons appear, because the name of some of the sub buttons are so long i have created another button image that is longer (button2.jpg), i only want this to appear on sub buttons otherwise the buttons will end up taking most of the pages space. I'm having great difficulties getting the sub buttons to appear with the correct image (button2.jpg) and am getting increasingly frustrated with it, can anyone please help!!!
www.milesfunerals.com/index2.html

index2.html is a broken link for sure. The main index page looks like it's working fine.
A little styling critique if it's okay... Personally I'd have gone with a CSS or Javascript multi-level menu across the bottom of the header. Saves visitors from having to scroll all the way down the page to see every menu item. And I'd rethink the color of the "Miles & Daughters" in the header image. It kinda gets lost in the roses.
If you have a link to the "broken" page please put it up so we can analyze it.

Best Practice with Browser navigation buttons

My Web Ap does a secured login and then the user is
guided to various pages via Command buttons and links.
The question I have is if the user presses the browser buttons to
go back the various prior screens appear with waht the user
entered. I do ot want this.
What is the best practice to stop this functionality and or capture a event
that f the user does this the screens are cleared?

(I believe all Faces page navigation is done via POST (command{Button,Link}).)
In our app (pre-Faces, but now we're moving to Faces, and I just can't tell you how much fun it is grafting Faces onto an old JSP/servlet app), we chose to open a new window when the user logs in, without browser decorations (i.e., navigation buttons). (This is done via javascript window.open(), with the appropriate options.)
The old window can't be closed due to Javascript security constraints, so we redirect it to another page so the user won't be confused if he or she stumbles across what looks like a login page (by exposing that old window).
After that, it's mostly an effort in user education: we just don't tell them about things like alt-left-arrow to go back or F5 to refresh or right-click anything (except View Source when we're debugging a problem). If they're "smart", we tell them "Don't do that", where "that" is either "stick your finger in your eye" or "use alt-left-arrow", depending on your sense of humor and ability to parse my idiomatic English.
[There's an old joke in which a man goes to a doctor and says "Doctor, my eye hurts". The doctor says "Hmm, can you tell me more?" The patient says "Yes, it hurts when I do [i]this," and proceeds to jab his finger into his eye. The doctor says, "Ah, I see. Well, don't that any more," and the patient walks away satisfied with his "cure."]

How to keep db session when navigating with a navigation button?

Helllo,
I have created a navigation button on an existing page (personalization). The destination URI = OA.jsp?page=/xxxe/oracle/apps/ar/webui/ShippingReportPG. In the existing (oracle) page, a tempory table is used. However, when navigating to my new page, the data in the temporary table does not seem to be available anymore. How can I show the data of the temporary table in my new page? Is there a possiblity to keep the same db session? Is it possible with the 'retainAM=Y' option?
I tried with 'retainAM' in the destination URI and changed the AM of the page to the right AM, but nevertheless it did not seem to be retained. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Guy

Hi,
Thanks for your reply!
When navigating to my new page a new db session is started (with my own AM), but I would like to keep the same db-session and AM in my new page so that the temporary table can be used. There is no specific flush-code because it is standard Oracle functionality that the data is only visible within 1 db session. Any idea how I can retain the AM?
Thx

Unexpected behaviour with "require password" and screen saver

In 10.6.x, I checked "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins" and after the invoking the screen saver (via a hot corner) moving the mouse or typing on the keyboard brought up a password dialog.
In Lion, this is what happens with the same settings:

That got posted somehow before I finished. Here is what happens:
The log in screen is displayed.
I select an account and log in.
The log in screen is displayed again.
I am logged in, but have obviously been logged out in the meantime.
This looks like a bug to me.

Unexpected behaviour with FlowN ?

I've tried FlowN to be more flexible in handling multiple messages. What i did is simple:
- receive incoming message with multiple childnodes
- use FlowN to handle each individual childnode
- assign data to invoke-inputmessage
- invoke synchronous/asynchronous WS
What happens:
- when invoking async WS: runtime error: conflict with BPEL4WS standard (not more than one of the same Invoke allowed)
- when invoking sync WS: every invocation uses the SAME data. Which means: all the assigns are done, then all the invokes using the same data. The Assigns show the real assigned data!
Any ideas on this one?

Check the variable (containing the request) is defined inside the scope of the flowN.
I hope it helps,
Good luck

Unexpected behaviour with SuspendThread()

Hi,
I'm building a JVMTI agent in C++ that controls the threads that are running in the JVM. My agent uses bytecode injection and JNI to intercept and suspend a thread ( using SuspendThread(jvmtiEnv* env, jthread thread) ), just before it executes particular bytecode instructions.
When I call jvmti->SuspendThread(NULL) (i.e. to suspend the current thread), I have found that although the current thread does suspend before returning to the Java environment, the lines of C++ code that follow the call to SuspendThread() are executed before the thread is suspended.
The JVMTI documentation says that "If the calling thread is specified, this function will not return until some other thread calls ResumeThread". Am I missing something here?
A simplified version of my agent code looks like this:
#include "SuspendTest.h"
#include <jvmti.h>
#include <string.h>
static jvmtiCapabilities capa;
static jvmtiEnv* jvmti_env;
int counter = 1;
* Called via JNI
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_SuspendTest__1suspendMe
(JNIEnv *, jclass) {
     printf("%d: About to suspend thread\n", counter);
     jvmti_env->SuspendThread(NULL);
     counter++;
     printf("%d: This should not be reached\n", counter);
     counter++;
     printf("%d: This should not be reached either\n", counter);
* Called when the agent is first loaded...
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Agent_OnLoad(JavaVM *jvm, char *options, void *reserved)
     jint res = jvm->GetEnv((void **) &jvmti_env, JVMTI_VERSION_1_0);
     if (res != JNI_OK || jvmti_env == NULL)
          printf("Error getting environment: %d", res);
     (void)memset(&capa, 0, sizeof(jvmtiCapabilities));
     capa.can_suspend = 1;
     jvmtiError err = jvmti_env->AddCapabilities(&capa);
     if (err != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE)
          printf("Error setting capabilities: %d", err);
     return JNI_OK;
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Agent_OnUnload(JavaVM *vm) {}When the Java_SuspendTest__1suspendMe function is called via JNI, I see on the console:
1: About to suspend thread
2: This should not be reached
3: This should not be reached eitherAny suggestions?
I should probably add that this is:
java version "1.6.0_06"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode, sharing)
Linux 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
Edited by: RichardBounds on Jun 19, 2008 2:40 AM

HotSpot doesn't suspend threads in native code as this can cause deadlocks. For this example, I believe it will "self-suspends" if you try to re-enter the VM or the native method exits.

Unexpected behaviour with the websites

Hi,
We are using internal sites for our enterprise, running on OHS (Oracle HTTP server) and enabled static file cache.
Thing is, IE seems to be properly caching files and reading them in matter of milli-seconds, but firefox is not.
Firebug is showing the files are still read from cache, but it's taking lot more than IE.

That got posted somehow before I finished. Here is what happens:
The log in screen is displayed.
I select an account and log in.
The log in screen is displayed again.
I am logged in, but have obviously been logged out in the meantime.
This looks like a bug to me.

How to hide navigation button in xml config file

I have a photo gallery with a navigation button that allows for additional photo categories that I don't want to appear. Unfortunately, I can't open the .fla as it appears to have been created with a newer version of Flash. The code in the config.xml file is basically:
<navigation>
<menu 1> <content>
</menu 1>
<menu 2> <content>
</menu 2>
etc.
</navigation>
Is there a tag I can add to make the navigation link disappear?

Deleting the navigation tags will make the xml malformed. You need to keep those, but the parts in between can go.

Navigation button animation

Im very new to Flash and am making a website using Flash CS3.
Im having problems with my navigation buttons. I want them all
(five) to be in a line and when you hover over them a fading
animation highlights them and when you stop hovering another fades
it out. Also I want an image to highlight the page you are on and
when you click another page it moves along to highlight the page
you are on.
Thankyou for your help and if anyone can explain the best
layout for my website, e.g. different scenes for each page etc.
please do so.
Thankyou,
Ben

The first 2 lines import the classes that you need. It's
built into Flash, so just put those lines in and you'll be fine.
The rest of the code is the button functions. "button01" -
"button04" would be the instance names of your buttons. It creates
a variable that holds the Tween object, and defines which instance,
what property, and passes values to define what you want it to do.
You want to animate the "_alpha" property, using regular easeIn,
and you want it start at 100% and go to 50% within .5 seconds. true
at the end of the line means that you would like to use seconds
instead of frames. If you would rather have it fade within a
certain number of frames, then change .5 to whatever number of
frames you want, and change true to false. You can look it up the
help files and it will be expalined better :)

Navigator buttons

Hi,
I work with JSF, and I want to make actions with the navigator buttons, but I don't know how. Any Ideas?
Thank you!!
Siddharta.

first definite <h:commandButton action="">
then write some codes in the configuration file named faces-config.xml as following:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/start.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome></from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/show.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
note that the value of action should be the same to the value of outcome,
next you click the button, and it works as you want.

Framesets and Navigation buttons

Greetings All:
Now I know what you're going to say first, "don't use
framesets", yada, yada, yada, however, I have had some success.
But, I'm having a problem with two navigation buttons. I have
linked the buttons to the main frame in the inspector as the
instructions tell me. For the "Events " and the "contacts " button
when I click on them I see an error page not found message. Below
is the link to the site. Please advise on what I can do to fix this
problem. The framesets work best for our purposes. Thank you in
advance for your help.

The percent of times that they *are* the best way to go is
vanishingly
small. So, you are much safer saying "they are bad" than
saying "they are
good" by a long shot. In fact, they are awful, particularly
in the hands of
someone who doesn't understand frames and how they work, and
why they work,
and why you shouldn't use them.

Events & Tab Control Navigation Buttons

In the attached example, I use a Tab Control with several pages, some of them being hidden.
To access them, I use the navigation buttons on the top right corner of the Tab.
Unfortunately, changing the pages using these navigation buttons does not trigger a "Value Change" event as it does when changing by clicking on the desired page.
This is visible in the upper control that is updated with the page name when the "Value Change" event is triggered.
How can I have the TabControl also triggering the "Value Change" event when selecting the pages with the navigation buttons ?
Attachments:
TabControl.vi ‏26 KB

That's a good one, NI should have made the control fire the value change event in that case too. You could make a timeout event and check the value there (and fire an event for it if you wanted) but that's not very elegant. Personally I would go for multiline tabs, it's not often you see a tab with a scrollbar like that so the user's would probably find it more intuitive to have multiline tabs or another level of selection.

Help with Re-Linking Navigation Buttons

I have Adobe Flash CS3 Pro.
I have a navigation header flash file that came with my website template and I am having difficulty making sense of the actionscript. It has a logo section with effects, 5 main nav buttons that move, and two extra link buttons above the navigation bar. Let’s focus on just the Navigation buttons for now. Here is what I have gathered. I have multiple text buttons on one movieclip, and I have successfully edited the text for each button. If I look at the actionscript in the top layer of this movieclip I see:
“gotoAndStop(parent._parent.num);”
I also have a separate movieclip symbol (with effects) with 5 buttons layers listed in the actionscript with the following actionscript tied to each button from numbers 1 through 5:
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=1;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=2;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=3;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=4;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=5;
On the top layer of these 5 buttons I have the following actionscript:
stop();
this["item"+_root.button].gotoAndPlay("s1");
_root.link = _root.button;
I also have a separate button symbol with the following actionscript:
on (rollOver) {
            if (_root.link<>1) {
                        menu.item1.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
            if (_root.link<>1) {
                        menu.item1.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
            if (_root.link<>1) {
                        _root.menu["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
                        _root.link = 1;
                        getURL("index.html");
Now my website template came with 5 html pages that my flash navigation buttons correspond to: (index.html, index-1.html, index-2.html, index-3.html, index-4.html, index-5.html). My problem is that I have created new pages (index.html, about.html, featured.html, projects.html, contact.html). I would like each of the 5 buttons to correspond to these pages, not the existing standard “index-n.html” pages.
Also, this is probably not relevant, but each html page has something to this affect so I can see how they correspond to each button.
<script type="text/javascript">
          var fo = new FlashObject("flash/menu_vf8.swf?button=2", "head", "100%", "144", "7", "");
          fo.addParam("quality", "high");
                    fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
                        fo.addParam("scale", "noscale");
          fo.write("head");
        </script>
I guess my real question is: What actionscript do I need to update or remove for the nav button LINKS to work with my new html pages rather than the standard 5 index-n.html pages that it automatically wants to link to?
When I try and add a “getURL” command to each of the 5 buttons and test preview the movie, the links work, but it messes up the effects of the movieclip. In other words, the buttons don’t move, they are motionless, however the links work. If I added this command to each button in some way, what actionscript would I need to remove so there weren’t any complications? I need some expert help here for it would be much appreciated. I am a novice with Flash script and its killing me that I can’t figure it out. I asked for help from the template support and all they came back with was the following message and it wasn’t helpful:
You need to duplicate each button you are editing - it is very important.
2) Update the scripting to look similar way:
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
_parent["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = num;
if (num == 1) {
getURL("index.html");
} else {
getURL("index-"+Number(num-1)+".html");
Update it to:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com");
Also, I read through the following discussion, which was helpful to a degree, but it still didn’t answer my questions about getting the links to work.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3614092#3614092

First of all, thank you for showing interest and helping out in my dilemma here. I wish I understood your meaning behind “on” because with my luck there is probably some hidden way of placing script on an object that I don’t understand or haven’t discovered yet.
This is what I know:
I have multiple text buttons on one movieclip entitled “textbutton1” (see previous picture), and I have successfully edited the text for each button and created two extra frames/buttons to make 7 total. If I look at the actionscript in the top layer of this movieclip I see:
“gotoAndStop(parent._parent.num);”
But there is no action on each individual frame (all 7 of them) on that layer.
Like I mentioned before I have a separate movieclip symbol (entitled “menu effect”) with 7 button movieclip layers listed in the actionscript with the following actionscript on each layer.
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=1;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=2;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=3;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=4;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=5;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=6;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=7;
On the top layer (layer 4 frame 25) of these 5 buttons I have the following actionscript:
stop();
this["item"+_root.button].gotoAndPlay("s1");
_root.link = _root.button;
I can upload another particular image of the movieclip/actionscript if it would be helpful. Let me know.

Export a pdf to a swf file with navigation buttons???

I have CS4 and I've tried to export a couple indesign files using the swf export feature, but it the navigation of the file is very weak and not very intuitive, and when you zoom in to any of the text the text goes fuzzy.
I would like to just convert a PDF to SWF file with navigation buttons, page controls, zoom in/out, single or two page view options, so that my end user can view it with the free flash player, but I don't have time to build the file in Flash and I don't want to use an online service that comes with a per month or per publication fee.
Any suggestions??

I've looked at that, but most of the pdf's that I need to convert are more than 10 pages. I want a program I can download, install and use without a per use cost, or per publication cost.
I'm looking more for a plug-in for either Acrobat, or Indesign or stand alone program that would convert them without adding copyrights, or ads to the file.
