Working with PowerPoint objects in 7

I'm evaluating Captivate 7, comparing it with Articulate Storyline. One of the adverstised features of 7 is the ablity to import PowerPoint including, explicitly, all object and animations. I have tried this and so far it only looks like it creates an image of the PowerPoint slide. I can't see how to directly interact with the PowerPoint shapes, text, etc. except by opening a linked PowerPoint session. But I would like to create a drag and drop interaction with the objects in the PowerPoint slide, or apply other Captivate effects to the objects. This is easily done in Articulate Storyline which turns the objects into Storyline objects. Can I do the same in Captivate? What am I missing?

Hi folks
Slight correction here. PowerPoint slides are imported and converted to Flash animations. (.SWF files) and the .SWF is set as the background image.
Likely what is meant by importing all objects is that they are all included in the SWF? Not sure. Additionally, while any changes must be made using PowerPoint, Captivate has a way of opening PPT under its control to make changes.
Cheers... Rick

What is QueryAsAWebSerivces ? and How it works with Business Object XI Rel

Hi Support,
We have Business Object XI Rel 2 (Crystal report XI Rel 2, live Office and Excelsius 4.5). I have taken the course on the SAP Online Learning site. "BU371e - Crystal Xcelsius: Designing Advanced Interactive Presentations.". In the lesson 6, (see the screen beblow) I found out "QueryAsWebSerives" is very interested product because it allow me to connect directly to a universe which has not been installed into my PC.
Could you please explain to me how to get "QueryAsWebServices" tool and How it supports or works with Bussiness Objects XI Rel 2? What are the requirements for it?
How can I see you the attachment screen?

WF error: There are no workflows that have already worked with this object

Hello all,
I am getting the error "There are no workflows that have already worked with this object" when I go to IQS23--> enter notification number --> workflow overview. I tried to find information related to this error message but could not find anything. If anyone happen to know anything about this error, please let me know.
Thanks.
Mithun

Hello,
As the error message says, it can't find any workflows that have dealt with the instance of the object you're inquiring about.
If you know this isn't true, or if you don't know what object this concerns, the you could try debug to see which object is being searched for.

Creating/Working With Nullable Objects in PowerShell - How?

Hi,
how do I create and work with Nullable objects in PowerScript.
None of the tips I found worked:
> ([System.Nullable[System.Int32]]1).GetType().Name
Int32
> ([System.Nullable[System.Int32]]$null).GetType().Name
You can't call a method on a null value expression.
> (New-Object System.Nullable[Int32] 1).GetType().Name
Int32
Any help is appreciated!

Well, nullable: yes, but Nullable: no.
this is what I get in .NET if I call GetType() on a variable of type Nullable[Int32]:
int? a = null; a.GetType();
{Name = "Nullable`1" FullName = "System.Nullable`1[[System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]"}

That's quite a difference to PowerShell's:
([System.Nullable[System.Int32]]$null).GetType()
You can't call a method on an expression with value NULL.
See my point? PowerShell apparently doesn't have a notion about Nullable types. That's what I need to find out for myself: "Why?"

How does operator 'less than' work with Rectangle objects?

Just found in legacy code the following:
private var firstRect:Rectangle;
private var secondRect:Rectangle;
if (firstRect < secondRect)
// do something
How does operator 'less than' work with Rectangle objects?
Doc says that object is converted to number if it is not a String.
Rectangle is not a String, though has conversion to String.
Please help.

IME the best way to know for sure is to experiment. The docs are only one person's best understanding of how things worked on the day, which is seldom 100% accurate. I find that even with code I wrote I can't accurately say 100% of what it does until I've worked with it for a while. Keep in mind that the docs are usually written when the code is written, so never expect more than a rough idea from the docs.

Working with smart objects

I've got a menu I built in Photoshop that uses smart objects to warp and give perspective to both button text as well as pictures in the menu. I built the menu at 300dpi, then resized it to 72 for working in Encore.
That 72dpi menu then became a template for other menus in the project.
Encore does not support smart objects, it converts them to shape layers. Since I had done additional design work on the menu in Encore/Photoshop, I saved a copy of it to be a template. I then opened my original of this file and dragged the smart objects back into it for my template, so that I could create new buttons, etc. for other menus.
I've since discovered that if I create a NEW smart object in that template, the smart object is at 72 dpi. However, if I modify an existing smart object, it's still at 300 dpi, even though the file is 72 dpi. Am I making any sense? So when I double click one of the original smart objects to, for example, change the text to create a new button, I get a large, 300dpi file to work with. The result is that the original smart objects are creating much sharper, cleaner text, and all my new smart objects are creating soft text. I've also discovered if I open one of the new smart objects and change it's size to 300dpi before creating the text layer, I can save it that way and the text is sharper and cleaner.
I'm not sure what my question is... I guess I'm just sharing :-), but also wondering if my workaround has a downside that I don't see.
The logical question you might be thinking is why don't I just build all the menus in 300 and then resize, and the answer is that I did a lot more work on the template after I had resized it for Encore and don't want to go back and redo all of that on the original file.
Julie

I'll test it without the warping and see what I learn and let you know, but I suspect I won't see a difference and you're right that warping the text may be more dependent on resolution.
I just created a 72 dpi file with 2 identical smart objects, except one is 72dpi and the other is 300dpi. I then put the same text with the same layer style on each. There is a difference in the appearance, with the 300dpi smart object yielding cleaner, sharper looking text. When I remove the layer style on both so they're flat, no drop shadow or bevel, there is still a very discernible difference in sharpness. Also, when I export the images to a NTSC monitor, the difference is apparent.
So it appears if you plan to warp text in a 72dpi graphic, you'll get better results if you increase the dpi of the smart object.

Working with Oracle Objects in JAVA - How-to do with views

Hello,
I am trying to access to Oracle object types from Java.
My problem is, I have relational tables, Object Types and Object Views.
All the examples I found from Oracle manuals are working with Object Tables(Table column is created as Object Type).
You run a query and get this object type (oraconn.GetObject(1)) and the query is (SELECT * FROM Object_Table) so its get first column(which is an object type) and cast it to Java Class(with SQLDATA or ORADATA).
The problem is that my data is in Relational Tables and I don't want to export them to Object tables.
I want to get it from Object View.
Is this possible? Or better is anybody has an example???
Thx in advance

Hi,
I think you will be able to help me. your question made me to think that you will be able to help me. Here the question goes.
I have a Stored Procedure which returns a user defined ROWTYPE(its a IN OUT param to the procedure). I need to call this procedure from my Java program. So I would like to know how to do it. Do we need to use any packages provided by oracle or some thing like that.
thanks & regards,

Help working with File() objects

Hi,i'm sorry for my not-so-perfect English.
I'm working with java.io.File object, to use and know the contents of a folder.
But if i try to use the function list() on a folder that is the first in my hard drive (For example: C:\Test on windows, or /usr on unix), and try to get the Parent...i receive null.
This is a regoular way,in my opinion; But i have a problem: i'm working at a Java File Manager, and i'd like to LIST all my hard driver present in my computer (ie. C:,D:, E:) but i don't really know how to do...!!
On UNIX, i can resolve this problem using a list() on /mnt folder, for mounted drive...but on Windows...how can i!?
Thanks for the answers...

Slide advancer (Kensington) doesn't work with powerpoint

slide advancer (Kensington) doesn't work with powerpoint

Hi, Todd.
I don't use an AirClick, but a quick check over at Griffin Technologies indicates one must be using PowerPoint 2004 to control presentations with the AirClick and AirClick USB products.
If you're using PowerPoint 2004, then I suggest you take up the matter with Griffin Technology's Support. They also appear to have published some updated software for AirClick.
Another place you may want to search or post is the the PowerPoint group you can find on the Microsoft Mac Support - Newsgroups page. These are Google Groups with active participation from MS PowerPoint users, including a variety of expert users.
I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but I've found numerous answers there for folks with questions related to MS products. Accordingly, it has often proved to be the first, best place to look for answers to questions such as you are asking.
Good luck!

Flash Builder Design Preview Not Working With Catalyst Objects On Stage

Hi there,
I'm working with a flash catalyst component from a flex project library, and it will not preview in desing mode. Anyone ever run into this? It seems that it may be a memory issue as the custom components themselves will preview, but now a bunch of custom components all displayed in a view.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated! For now I'm back to guessing x & y coords...

Going to answer my own thread here. This issue doesn't seem to be with Flash Builder, I think the issue lies in the browser not being able to register the button modes, namely Firefox 4. I've seen it happen in other browsers too, like Chrome, where the fix is to embed the swf as param.wmode = "window". Hope this helps someone out.

There are no workflows that have already worked with this object

Hi Experts
Good Day
I am having Problem with purchase Requisition workflow. its not showing workflow overview but i selected the line item and eniornment->item changes overview i see there its showing the workflow is trigger(WF-BATCH). its showing the some purchase Requisitions workflow overview and some not. what could be the problem . Please help me.......
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
It might be that the PR transaction WF overview is only looking for the header level workflows. In other words it is looking for workflows that are using object BUS2015. The PR item workflows are using BUS2009. Just a guess (I cannot check this from any system now). If this is a case, there are tricks to get it working, but it might requires some development.

Working with oracle object type tables

Hi,
I've created a table which only contains Oracle object types (e.g. CREATE TABLE x OF <...>). When I create an Entity for this table using the Entity wizard, I end up with an entity with the attributes of the base object type and two special attributes REF$ (reference to the object type instance) and SYS_NC_OID$ (unique object identifier). The REF$ attribute is on the Java side of type oracle.jbo.domain.Ref and the other attribute is on the Java side a simple String.
It seems this only allows me to save objects of the base type in this table. First of all in my situation this is also impossible because the base type is not instantiable. What I do want is to save several different subtypes into this table using the BC4J custom domain mechanism. Is there any way to make this possible? I first thought I could maybe do something with the special REF$ attribute, but this doesn't seem te case. So I might need to override most of the EntityImpl methods, like doUML, remove etc. Am I right? And does anyone have any hints on how to do this?
Regards,
Peter

Since you have an object table, you wouldn't use domains to achieve this. Instead, you would have a superclass and subclass entity objects, e.g., PersonEO subclassed into StudentEO and EmployeeEO.
I first thought I could maybe do
something with the special REF$ attribute, but this
doesn't seem te case. So I might need to override
most of the EntityImpl methods, like doUML, remove
etc. Am I right? And does anyone have any hints on
how to do this?
If you want, you can try this by overridding EntityImpl's:
   protected StringBuffer buildDMLStatement(int operation,
      AttributeDefImpl[] allAttrs,
      AttributeDefImpl[] retCols,
      AttributeDefImpl[] retKeys,
      boolean batchMode)
and
   protected int bindDMLStatement(int operation,
      PreparedStatement stmt,
      AttributeDefImpl[] allAttrs,
      AttributeDefImpl[] retCols,
      AttributeDefImpl[] retKeys,
      HashMap retrList,
      boolean batchMode) throws SQLException
Handle the case when operation == DML_INSERT.
There, build an insert statement with substitutable row, e.g.:
INSERT INTO persons VALUES (person_t('Bob', 1234));
INSERT INTO persons VALUES (employee_t('Joe', 32456, 12, 100000));
where person_t and employee_t are database types and you are invoking the respective constructor.
Thanks.
