Using a linked file as navigation for a folio

So I'm trying to simplify my workflow and hopefully make a template that I can easily modify.
I've duplicated the scrollable frame table of contents that Adobe uses for the Inspire magazine. But I want to be able to add, delete and modify the contents of the scroll without needing to extract it from the frame, ungroup it, make the additions, re-group and paste back into the frame. An obviously lengthy process.
So I tried to make the buttons for the Navto links in a separate, linked, INDD file which would be placed into the scrollable frame. (See attachments)
Is this just something that cannot be done? Or am I missing something. Please let me know if this doesn't even make any sense. I'll try to clarify.
Thanks in advance!
Created a linked INDD file with the navto buttons and placed into a frame within the "contents" page.
Made all the images navto links and the linked INDD file a scrollable frame.
Sample of a page that would be linked to in the folio.

Won’t work with a placed ID file. It comes in pretty much as a graphic.
But you don’t need to ungroup and regroup. Use the layers panel to drag items into your group.
I showed this technique in my lynda.com DPS course. It’s in the how to create a pull tab lesson.
If you don’t have a lynda subscription, check out my blog post for a link to the course and a link for a one week trial.

Safari: how to autofill filename when using 'download linked file as' option

I usually need to download email attachment to specific folders, not to the downloads folder. When I use "download linked file as" I get the option to choose the location, which is great, but the filename is '0'. I don't want to have to cut and paste the filename every time - why doesn't Safari grab the filename automatically, as it does when you just click download? Is there a way around this? It's a big workflow issue for me, and the reason I switched to Chrome previously .. surely there's a fix for this basic function though?
I'm downloading from Gmail running in my browser.
Safari: Version 7.1 (9537.85.10.17.1)

You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply. :)
Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?

How to use a link bar or navigation bar for display only?

My app has a link bar in an Application Control bar that is bound to the view stack of the steps in my application.
I would like to use this as a mechanism to show the user which step he is on and how many are left, but NOT to click on it to navigate between steps. I have provided wizard-like buttons to step navigation.
How can I have the link bar not respond to clicks, or, if not, programmatically disable certain steps in it (e.g. "step 2" not available until I say so)?

OK, I have decided it might be easier to use a repeater with buttons in it, such as:
<mx:Repeater id="toolbar" dataProvider="{dataXML}" >
<mx:Button label="{toolbar.currentIndex+1}. {toolbar.currentItem..stepTitle}" enabled="false" />
</mx:Repeater>
So now I'd like to progressively change the buttons in the repeater to "enabled" as I am ready.
However, toolbar.getChildAt(0).enabled = true fails with:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property enabled through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

Using a FLV file in Flash for Web Graphic

Hello thank you for looking in.
I made a FLV file in After effects. 5 seconds long. I would like to convert it (So I think) in Flash so I can park it on my website for some 'eye candy' I was able to import the FLV an After Effects creation exported as an Alpha FLV.
I import it to the stage, have a few options about players when doing so. I used the stand alone Player option when opening my sequence. I prewview it and it works fine using both Browser and Player mode when previewing movie. However, I am unsure how to make that file play or loop forever? I am unsure of exporting it so I can just upload it to my Wordpress site and stuff it in my header so it plays when a browser opens that page. I know that is a tall order to ask. If you could either direct me to a link to the proper steps I would need to learn I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any direction on this one. I have created a flash poject or two and exported them as swf and have had them work, but I have never used an imported FLV is there any diff? And how come it does not automatically loop without the ACTION ()Stop ?

I was able to get my FLV FLASH to Loop, must have been a glich on my end. Closed it and reopened it and it reverted back to a loop. I am still wondering, or I forgot the steps to exporting my work with JS ? I cannot remember where I found that info, nor how I did it. As of now I turn on JS toolbox and my Html export is a white box....I would love to export as no background, or Alpha and have the JScode export so all I need to do is cut and paste into my HTML page and change the upload address or A href " " Steps...Anyone? Thanks
BTW I was able to export my AE file as a SWF however all the cool stuff that made the eye candy was not supported like fill over stroke or 3d when exporting out of AE direct as a SWF with LOOP. FWIW

Using D-Link DI-624 Router for "G" Wireless Purposes

I want to use an old D-link router in another part of the house to provide wireless "G" connectivity to my older devices, so I can use 5 GHz band for "N" connectivity exclusively via my Airport Extreme (Older version, not Gigabit).
I go upstairs, plug the D-Links WAN port to the jack that connects to one of the Airport Extreme's LAN ports downstairs. I shut off dhcp server on the D-Link. I turn on the D-link's wireless capability (unencrypted for now, just for testing).
When I plug a computer in to one of the LAN jacks of the D-Link, I have full connectivity to the internet. And I see the wireless signal from the D-Link which has a unique SSID. Unfortunately, while I can connect to the D-Link wirelessly, I cannot get to the internet.
I'm sure I have something configured wrong.
Questions:
1. I have the Airport Extreme set to hand out ip addresses in the 10. range. Should I set up the D-Link router to get a static IP address from the Airport Extreme? How do I do that. Some sites suggest a 10 series IP address, but outside the range of the DHCP addresses that the Airport Extreme usually hands out.
2. Any ideas on configuring the DI-624? I've shut off DHCP server (everyone says to do that). But Are there any other settings?
3. Some tech help sites suggest not using the WAN Port at all on the D-link, but rather, connect to one of the LAN ports. Does this make any sense? Going from one of the LAN ports on the Airport Extreme to one of the D-Link's LAN ports.
4. Once I get the wireless G network running, I'll fix the encryption.
I think that in order to answer this question you'll need some first hand knowledge of the DI-624. Unfortunately, the DI-624 is now a discontinued product and there is little information available on D-link's web site.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
kenny

If a Mac plugged into a LAN port on the D-Link gets internet access, the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) and D-Link are both configured properly.
The wireless side of the D-Link should also be acting properly since LAN access is working.
The most likely problem is that your Mac has incorrect DNS information in the System Preferences->Network preference pane->AirPort area.

WIS 10883 using large Excel File as source for report in WebI RichClient

Hi,
I'm trying to use a relatively large Excel 2003 file, say 7000 rows and 19 columns, as a source for a report in WebI Rich Client. When selecting a range of only 1500 records and 19 columns everything works, when accessing the full 7000 (or originally 30,000) I get this error message.
Does anybody know of a size limit for this and if so an option to adjust it? The only resources for this very limited.
Thanks
Norman Ruppert

Tina,
I'm not sure why you are so negative to having Excel in the mix.
Excel is only used at development time - its mearly used as a design interface to build the xcelsius model that feeds data and controls components within the flash file that xcelsius generates.
Excel is not used at run time in any way (unless one uses a third party connector to use an XLS as a data source of course).
If you attempt to use xceslius without using the OLE embeded Excel sheet at design time you will only be able to create VERY simplistic dashboards.
The new connectivity in version 4 just removes a design step to make development simpler my combining direct to components - but behind the sceens i believe it is really only connecting to a hidden part of the model not shown the the Excel interface at design time!
i think we would all agree that having excel can be a pain at design time (especially those that used/use live office!) but it does offer a pretty good interface for building very intuative looking models behind your flash components.
cheers,
Jeremy.

Using Microsoft Word file as template for Report.

fish,
So you compiled a C or C++ service function with
cl /c [... other options] myservice.c
and now you have myservice.obj?
In that case, use
buildserver -f myservice.obj [ .. other options ] -o myserver.exe
to generate a Tuxedo server called myserver.exe
Regards,
Peter.

After Effects Crashes when using dynamically linked files

When I try to edit a dynamically linked after effects, After Effects crashes, which then crashes Premiere Pro. I have CS5.5 master. Is this a problem with the after effects file (only 8kb in size) or something wrong with After Effects. The files come up as being linked in Premiere Pro but when I open the After Effects file to do further editing, it just crashes.

You told us zero about your system and your project settings on bothe ends, so this is not going anywhere. Such crashes can have any number of reasons from running out of memory to graphics card issues but we truly cannot know.

Edit and Continue does not work for VB Linked Files

Hi all,It is not possible to modify source code in the files linked to a VB.NET project when the program is running (debug mode), even though Edit and Continue is enabled, along with full debug info and no optimizations is enabled. Files that are physically present in the project's hierarchy are editable without ptoblems.hierarchy example:FolderRoot\FolderRoot\Folder1: Linked Module1FolderRoot\FolderProject : Internal Forms and Modules(The Linked Module1 is external to main project but added as link at project)I found no solution for this problem.Anyone help me, please
RegardsFilSky

The main reason for using a linked file is for sharing. With that said your best option is to create a class project and place that file into the class project and reference this class project in any project that requires the code. One caveat, if the shared
file is a code module add Public in front of Module, otherwise it will not be visible outside of the class project.
So for a code module we start with
Module Module1
' Your code is here
End Module
Add Public
Public Module Module1
' Your code is here
End Module
Nothing needs to be done for classes.

Using DB Link for SQL Server

Hi All,
When I query the SQL server table from Oracle using DB Link, it works fine for any table:
select * from testtable@DBLINK test -- This statement works fine because I am giving * i.e. all columns
But when I try to query specific columns like
Select test.status from testtable@DBLINK test
then it gives me error ORA-00904: "test.Status invalid Identifier", I can see this particular column when I query the testtable for all of the columns.
I don't know what to do.
Thanks

You need to use quoted names. SQL Server data dictionary stores names in same case they were entered while Oracle in upper case. So when you issue
Select test.status from testtable@DBLINK test Oracle parser will look for column STATUS while on SQL Server side it could be stored, for examle, as Status or status. Check column names on SQL Server side and use quoted names. Assuming column name is Status:
Select test."Status" from testtable@DBLINK test SY.

The first binary file write operation for a new file takes progressively longer.

I have an application in which I am acquiring analog data from multiple
PXI-6031E DAQ boards and then writing that data to FireWire hard disks
over an extended time period (14 days). I am using a PXI-8145RT
controller, a PXI-8252 FireWire interface board and compatible FireWire
hard drive enclosures. When I start acquiring data to an empty
hard disk, creating files on the fly as well as the actual file I/O
operations are both very quick. As the number of files on the
hard drive increases, it begins to take considerably longer to complete
the first write to a new binary file. After the first write,
subsequent writes of the same data size to that same file are very
fast. It is only the first write operation to a new file that
takes progressively longer. To clarify, it currently takes 1 to 2
milliseconds to complete the first binary write of a new file when the
hard drive is almost empty. After writing 32, 150 MByte files,
the first binary write to file 33 takes about 5 seconds! This
behavior is repeatable and continues to get worse as the number of
files increases. I am using the FAT32 file system, required for
the Real-Time controller, and 80GB laptop hard drives. The
system works flawlessly until asked to create a new file and write the
first set of binary data to that file. I am forced to buffer lots
of data from the DAQ boards while the system hangs at this point.
The requirements for this data acquisition system do not allow for a
single data file so I can not simply write to one large file.
Any help or suggestions as to why I am seeing this behavior would be
greatly appreciated.

I am experiencing the same problem. Our program periodically monitors data and eventually save it for post-processing. While it's searching for suitable data, it creates one file for every channel (32 in total) and starts streaming data to these files. If it finds data is not suitable, it deletes the files and creates new ones.
On our lab, we tested the program on windows and then on RT and we did not find any problems.
Unfortunately when it was time to install the PXI on field (an electromechanic shovel on a copper mine) and test it, we've come to find that saving was taking to long and the program screwed up. Specifically when creating files (I.E. "New File" function). It could take 5 or more seconds to create a single file.
As you can see, field startup failed and we will have to modify our programs to workaround this problem and return next week to try again, with the additional time and cost involved. Not to talk about the bad image we are giving to our costumer.
I really like labview, but I am particularly upset beacuse of this problem. LV RT is supposed to run as if it was LV win32, with the obvious and expected differences, but a developer can not expect things like this to happen. I remember a few months ago I had another problem: on RT Time/Date function gives a wrong value as your program runs, when using timed loops. Can you expect something like that when evaluating your development platform? Fortunately, we found the problem before giving the system to our costumer and there was a relatively easy workaround. Unfortunately, now we had to hit the wall to find the problem.
On this particular problem I also found that it gets worse when there are more files on the directory. Create a new dir every N hours? I really think that's not a solution. I would not expect this answer from NI.
I would really appreciate someone from NI to give us a technical explanation about why this problem happens and not just "trial and error" "solutions".
By the way, we are using a PXI RT controller with the solid-state drive option.
Thank you.
Daniel R.

"Download linked file as".....

Whenever I use Safari 8 on Yosemite to download a file from OWA (Outlook Web Access) via "Download linked file as".....the file downloads as Attachment.ashx (this happens as well using "Download linked file".
This does not happen when using Firefox, Chrome or IE.
Anyone else having this issue and if so have you been able to fix it?
Thanks

hmm... clicking on both opens up the Save As dialog, which you can change the filename.
anyhow, doesnt matter.
