Unix Time (mtime)?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 12:57:32 GMT

I have a command line that finds files in a folder and deletes the ones that are a over a day old. I can't seem to find a way/the write code to change the 1 (full) day into a half day (12) hours (f -mtime +1 -exec rm -rf {} ) = older than a day. Do you need to convert into milliseconds and then figure out what a half day is in milliseconds?

Help Window: StaticText Formatting

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 16:01:52 GMT

I have a dialog window, with a help button, the help button opens up another dialog window. The help window will have some paragraphs for simple info.

I can't seem to figure out how to contain the text int a pre determined width. Can you format the size of the text in the dialog to be smaller. to keep the help dialog box somewhat

small.

has anyone done this before.

Javascript version Problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 17:09:18 GMT

Ive written Javascript on my laptop which uses Indesign CS 5.5, I run the code and it works (no errors, still fine tuning it), but when I try and run it on my work computer (mac) running Indesign 5 I get an error

"Invalid Parameter". Are there differences in the syntax between these to versions?

Here is the/a line of code that causes the error (i have this code several times creating boxes.)

myrectanglesplitterleft= rectangles.add({geometricBounds:[(.75+bleeddepth), 0, (myPageHeight/3)+(.75+bleeddepth), bleeddepth],fillColor:"Proofyellow"});

Here is the whole thing if it might be something else related to this error that isn't being passed improperly between one version (5.5) and not the other (5)

hopefully someone can help

Not understanding result of rectangle moving

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:02:22 GMT

I'm building a script that will need to select some images, and move their image boxes (parent), to the left or the right.

I have the script loop through an array of images(PDFs) in the document, and finds the ones I need by filepath

once the image path matches the requsted path, I find (and select for visual conformation) the parent (rectangle) of the image.

This all works. where my confusion lies is when it moves.

when I move it the parent moves, but the image stays in position. When you select the parent manuallly in indesign and move it that way the rectangle and image move together.

Why is this not working as expected.

for(var i=0; i<imageArray.length; i++)

{

var myCurrentimage = myDoc.pageItems.itemByID(imageArray[i]).itemLink.filePath;

if (myCurrentimage==ServiceHeader_6col )

{

var headerUsed = myDoc.pageItems.itemByID(imageArray[i]).parent

myDoc.select(headerUsed )

var headerBounds = headerUsed.geometricBounds;

alert(headerBounds);

headerBounds[1] = 100

headerBounds[3] = headerBounds [3]+100

headerUsed.geometricBounds= headerBounds

}

Dialog open error?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 17:36:57 GMT

I have a document open. the dialog will allow the user to select from two radio button options. once the user chooses one. On the set button It wil take the choice (into another function), and set guides onto the document (and peform other indesign settings).

Once I hit set and try and make some document settings

*a test command*

var bleedLayer = myDoc.layers.item("Bleed Guides")

bleedLayer.remove();

I get a open dialog or alert error. Im closing the window, why dose it still appears to be open. Is it the way I have structured my code?

Suggestion on how to get the document to build guides, after the selection, and close of window

I had submitted this in a different form before, I been researching/learning but I can't seem to find the answer.

Exporting A PDF issue

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 16 Mar 2014 18:09:31 GMT

I've built an dialog window (figured out my issues with the ui from the last post). I'm having a problem exporting a file via a button "export"

when I leave the code outside a function, it works fine. Builds the PDF with the preferences on build of the dialog.

with(app.pdfExportPreferences)

{

exportGuidesAndGrids = true;

exportLayers = true;

exportNonPrintingObjects = false;

}

myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, new File(myPath+"/filesname.pdf"), false);

When I put it in a onclick function, or call a named function from the onclick I get errors. What am I doing wrong, and How can I get it to work with a button selection?

Thanks

ui Help

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 16 Mar 2014 04:01:23 GMT

I'm trying to build a small simple ui, but I am having trouble with some of the things I want to do with it. I'm trying to use location, size and spacing to arrange the items better in the dialog window. I also can't seem to figure out how to get a button to work an onClick action.

(I've done it before), but my guess is the way I built the dialog, makes it more difficult to get the buttons working.

Here is what I have built below.

for example: I would like to add space between the panel and the radio buttons, and move the whole panel up and left.

The other issue is I have a simple onclick test to check if the button works. I can't seem to get the onclic to work. Is it because I have it built in a group, and Im not acessing it correctly?

var bleedGuideDialog = new Window ("dialog", "Bleed Guides");

var topGroup = bleedGuideDialog.add ("group");

topGroup.orientation = "row"

topGroup. alignment="left";

var radioPanel = topGroup.add("panel", undefined, "Guide Options");

radioPanel.size = [140,75];

var show = radioPanel.add("radiobutton", undefined, "Show Guides", );

show.value = true;

show. alignment="left";

var hide = radioPanel.add("radiobutton", undefined, "Hide Guides");

hide.value = false;

hide. alignment="left";

var directions = topGroup .add("statictext", undefined, "Export will create a PDF with the guides to show what items would be cut off thatare in the bleed area.",{multiline:true});

//p1 = w.add ('edittext {preferredSize: [200, 100], properties: {multiline: true}}');

directions.size = [130, 100]

var middleGroup = bleedGuideDialog.add ("group");

middleGroup.orientation = "row"

var prgBar = middleGroup.add("progressbar", {x:20, y:12, width:200, height:12}, 0, 100);

var exportbtn = middleGroup.add("button", undefined, "Export");

var cancelit = bleedGuideDialog.add("button", undefined, "Cancel");

cancelit.alignment = "right";

bleedGuideDialog.show ( );

exportbtn.onClick =function ()

{

alert("click");

}

Any help/Guidence would be appreciated.

Detecting Overset from inside another textframe:Javascript

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 21:52:47 GMT

I had written an applescript that will find overset text boxes, and tried and fix them (if the text box expanded to far into another it wouldn't fix it). now I'm trying to do it in Javascript. I was able to write some code that works on a normal text box. however there are some text boxes, that are in another box (bordered 1pt). The script doesn't seem to see those.

I'm guessing because its a text frame in another (bordered frame). If this is the case Im not sure how to tell the script to look into a text frame, for another tet frame that overset.

Applescript nevermade that distinction if it was over set it fixed it.

Can anybody help

PHP array/function problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 07 Dec 2013 23:01:36 GMT

I'm having a problem trying to understand why a predefined array is not being echoed/print_r when requested from inside a function.

the array is global(?) by being defined outside the function(s). I can't seem to see why it wont show the array?

It works outside the function

$mondayset=array("setone", "settwo", "setthree", "setfour");

$tuesdayset=array(""setfive", "setsix", setseven");

function dosets ($pubdate)

$caledardate = explode("/", $pubdate);

Trying to build a better Expandable ad

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 18 Oct 2013 16:29:56 GMT

we've started to use exandable ads, using two files (swf) a small pencil, on mouseover expands a billboard below(second swf). I think the flash files were built quickly for function, not presentation. when you mouse over the top, it appears to load the swf in a lower expandable div. There is a delay so the billboard dosen't appear smoothly (it just appears).

The other is the billboard is set to only run any animation (on a timeline) on a mouseover of the billboard.

Id like to build a better expandable, and I was hoping for some suggestions guidence on a better way.

Would it help if the pencil swf perloaded the billboard swf, using something like loadclip

[there is appears some Javascript, in the flash file that I can't seem to find (found it on a spell check) to see/learn what its doing. Could it be telling the billboard to load into the div]

Is there a way for the pencil swf to communicate with the billboard swf to start an animation when the pencil is mouseover (the expansion)

Any suggestions/guidence, are appreciated

Tracking movieclip(s) problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 29 Sep 2013 15:21:04 GMT

I'm having a problem trying to build a photo slide show. specifically trying to keep track of the movieclips and repositioning them. I've done this before with only two clips, but I cant seem to figure out how to keep track of the multiple (4) positions and the index position of MC in array. I don't have a script built to show, so hopefully an expianation will do?

Set up

Need to keep track of four positions, the first position has a an array item (0) half on the stage half off, position two is centered on the stage and has array item of (1). The third position is half on half off the stage (on the other side) with an array index of (2), and a forth off stage (right) with an index of (3).

* each of these MC's are not being loaded dynamically, the are on the stage, in array contains instances of MC

What I'd like to happen

after a timeout/interval all the mc's would move Right to left, into the neighbors positon, wait and repeat based on the next index of the array, and loop back to the first frame to repeat the gallery again.

I keep getting caught in a maze, of logic a think I can controll one aspect, but then the other dosen't work. Hopefully the explanation is enough for someone to help me see a solution to the maze I'm in.

(Tried yellling Odysseus but I got now secert passage to get to my solution.....Sorry old ZORK refefence I had to make)

Creating an staggered tween assistance

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 00:37:41 GMT

I was trying to create a tween that would fade objects in one after another. Ideally when one movieclip fades in at about 90% it would trigger the next movieclip to fade in, and the next would do the same and so on. I figured I could use the onMotionChanged with if statements to trigger them at 90% and then start the next tween, but Im not getting the expected results. the code I have appears to work, until it wants to goto the next function. All the other animations appear slow and choppy

I think its because the onMotionChanged is simular to onEVENT that calls the actions every second that the tween is moving, I thought I had set up the if statements to limit that, but it still isint working. Here is the code Im using that is creating the problem. Hopefully from my description and code, someone can tell me whats wrong (what am I doing wrong) and how I can fix it.)

Thanks

function starter ()

{

clearTimeout(holdit)

var fadeout:Tween = new Tween (starter_mc,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,100,0,2,true);

fadeout.onMotionChanged = function ()

{

if (starter_mc._alpha > 0 && starter_mc._alpha < 10)

{

var fadeiname:Tween = new Tween (name_mc,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut, name_mc._alpha,100,2,true);

fadeiname.onMotionChanged = function ()

{

if (name_mc._alpha >90 && name_mc._alpha <95)

{

var fadeinaddress:Tween = new Tween (location_mc,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,location_mc._alpha,100, 3,true);

Help - displacementmapfilter (learning something new)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 19:58:35 GMT

I'm tring to expand my as2 skills with some animations. I found this and became interested in learning more. I went on the web and found a simple tutorail

http://www.emanueleferonato.com/2007/12/03/understanding-flash-displacement-map-filter/

It lays it out in a fashion I can understand, and experiment with, however the example I'm using/reusing to learn from is not working as expected. I was hoping someone familuar with this filter could see what Im doing wrong.

Problem: when the displacementmapfilter is run it leaves a white border on the right egde and bottom edge (as if the map is not the right size)

I can't seem to see why thy don't match up. Hopefully, Some one can show me my error. I then hope to experiment somemore with the filter

If any one has any websites that have tutorials for this filter please add them to the post.

Here is my code if you need it. it should be identical to the tutorail

Can't Stop a tween?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 26 Aug 2013 23:16:28 GMT

I created something interesting (by accident)[interesting because I hadn't done it yet], now I'm trying to understand it, and controll it, and was hoping for some insite. I was looking for a way for an item to drop and have some rotation while setteling off a bounce. Well I go it (or at least really close). The trouble I'm having is getting it (the rotation) to stop).

When it reaches a point it (off the bounce) it activates the rotaion to make it look more real. I'm having a problem, being able to stop the rotation when it settles from the bounce ease. It will settle off the bounce and then continue and finish the rotation.

here is what I got

var falling:Tween = new Tween (Ductwork,"_y",Bounce.easeOut,Ductwork._y,425,4,true);

falling.onMotionChanged = function ()

{

onEnterFrame = function ()

{

falling.onMotionFinished = function ()

{

delete onEnterFrame

trace("stop");

myrotation.stop();

}

if (Ductwork._y > 410 && Ductwork._y < 420)

{

delete onEnterFrame

var myrotation:Tween = new Tween (Ductwork,"_rotation",Regular.easeOut,0,16,4,true);

}

Can anybody see how to stop the rotation (at the end of the bounce.

If someone has a bettter way/better animation please let me know

Thanks

making a web app question

I created a web page in html 5. The page is going into another page, (template page). I would like to be able to have just this/my page be made into a web app (not this and the template). If I place the whole page <HTML> to <HTML>, instead of just the <body> into the template, would it make a web app of my page?

Json/Jquery Variable problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 14:17:13 GMT

I'm having an issue in building a yardsale map using jquery google map,while also providing some weather via a Json call to yahoo weather.

I'm placing map markers via a Json call of adresses. Placing the marker (if the adress is found) it builds the infowindow with info I provide (from the yardsale Json call). That works. I'm trying to add some weather data in each info window. I can get the data I need, and Assign it to a varaible, but when I try to bring it into the piece that places the info in the window, It comes as undefined.

I've tried placing the varible as a global variable outside the function (under the doc ready call)?

Can any body show/tell me how to get the vaiable to work (and why so I don't make the same mistake)

here is the code below:

$(document).ready(function() {

var val

var address="Boston, Mass"

var currdate

//weatherwidget (address)

$('#map_canvas').gmap('search', { 'address': 'Boston, Mass' }, function(results,isFound) {

if (isFound)

{

$('#map_canvas').gmap('get','map').panTo(results[0].geometry.location);

$('#map_canvas').gmap('option', 'zoom', 10);

}

});

$.getJSON('Yardsaleagate.json', function(yard_data)

{

$.each(yard_data.yardsales, function{

var val = this.address

var key = this.stuff

setTimeout(function(){

$('#map_canvas').gmap('search', { 'address': val }, function(results,isFound) {

if (isFound)

{

$.getJSON('http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20 location%20in%20(%0A%20%20select%20id%20from%20weather.search%20where%20query%3D%22'+address+'%22%0A)%20limit%201&format=json&diagnostics=true&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.or g%2Falltableswithkeys&callback=?',function(data)

{

var currdate = (data.query.results.channel.item.forecast[0].date)

console.log(currdate)

})

$('#map_canvas').gmap('addMarker', { 'position': results[0].geometry.location, 'description': key, icon: "map-icons/pins/32/pin_ys.png",'animation': google.maps.Animation.DROP, 'info': val}).mouseover(function(){ weatherlocation(val)}).click(function() {

Jquery Each loop with delay?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 20:01:17 GMT

I'm attempting to use a settimeout function with an each loop (to hopefully solve a problem)

I have a Json file containing adresses. I currently have the each loop grab the data/addresses and feed them into googlemaps

(through a jquery googlemaps plugin). The problem is that google set limits on requests, and I keep getting a query limit error.

From what I've read it appears that if you slow down the requests (not all at once as the each loop appears to do), it will take more

(hopefully all). I cant seem to figure out how to get my each loop to delay (fire off one request...Wait and then the next. to test the theory.

Can anybody help?

$.getJSON('Yardsaleagate.json', function(data)

{

$.each(data.yardsales, function() {

var val = this.address

var key = this.stuff

addMarker(val, key);

});

*if anybody knows more about the google maps api, and the best way to populate allot of locations, any addition input is appreciated!

Jquery: gmap3 infowindow help

Hopefully someone is familular with the gmap3. I'm trying to build a map with multiple markers, set by a json file. I'm having a tough time with the infowinow. Do i need to set it in the funnction call that sets the markers or outsidide, as its own event. I've tried both and I can't see to eithier ti work. Here is the code,

from examples it appears i would put the infowindow selector as the first of the values, and use the events selector to conroll it. I cant get any results (can't get a simple alert to work on the events mouseover

can anyone guide me on how/where to build the infowindow?

tween in two directions?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:46:56 GMT

I am trying to create a burst using tweens, but I can't seem to get it to work. I can get the clips on the stage but I can't control them to go in different directions. What I tried:

Generate a random number to choose a direction

var posneg:Number=Math.floor(Math.random()*(1+1-11))+11;

generate a random number for distance

var randNum1:Number= (Math.random()*(1+75-25))+25;

use posneg to choose a direction

if(posneg<5){}

less than 5 would got to the left, poitive would go right

I cant figure how to get box_mc to tween the distance or randNum1 in one direction than the the other.

Can you do this with settings or do I need to code the Css into the div?

Tween Timing Issue

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 07 May 2013 00:11:58 GMT

I have a script that places text outside the stage (based on words in an array), and tweens them across the stage (and repeats). The problem is that the words have varying widths, so one tween/words, bumps into another. I was trying to find a way to have them all move across one after another, at a consistant speed without bumping into each other. Sadly math is not my strong suite so I cant seem to figure it out. Can any body with better math skills help :]

Understanding MCs/Textfield created by a variable

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 06 May 2013 03:43:35 GMT

I was hoping for some clarification on a concept. I'm using a variable to create multiple textfields, the varible will contain all the object data of the textfield created

theWord = this.createTextField("Action_" +n, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 70, 30);

I have a concatination so each textfield name is unique.

My confusion is with the use of the variable. In other languges a variable can only hold one value. but in AS2 it appears (to me) I can have multiple textfields on the stage with/created using the same variable name? To go one step further with my confusion can you tween multiple textfiled under the sane tween name using the textfield var name(var sometween = (theWord..............), and delete them individually at the end of thier tween? Agian if the are all named by the same variable how dose it know? or to do something like this you need to use the instance names created.

Hopefully my explanation of my confusion isn't confusing ;}

Tween Problem?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:37:36 GMT

I'm loading up images dynamically and trying to get them to tween, but it isn't working as expected (or the way it should)

Once Ive creted the empty movieclip, and load the movie it appears on stage. I have a set interval and then the tweens activate. The problem is only one of them activates (and its the last one). Id like an animation that would move the image off the stage in two directions at the same time (diagnal with a bit of rotation if possible).

Here is the code,

import mx.transitions.Tween;

import mx.transitions.easing.*;

import flash.filters.GlowFilter;

import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;

import flash.filters.BlurFilter;

import flash.filters.BevelFilter

stop();

TopShelf_mc.swapDepths(100);

this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcHolder", 1);

var myLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

mcHolder._xscale=85;

mcHolder._yscale=85;

mcHolder._rotation=3

mcHolder._x=15;

mcHolder._y=-13;

myLoader.loadClip("Pool.png", mcHolder);

mcHolder.forceSmoothing = true;

var timerone = setInterval(frameOne, 4000)

function frameOne()

{

var sideways:Tween = new Tween(mcHolder, "_x", Strong.easeIn, mcHolder._x, 312, 3, true);

var updown:Tween = new Tween(mcHolder, "_y", Strong.easeOut, mcHolder._y, 230, 3, true);

clearInterval(timerone);

}

Can a movieclip created like I have be tweened ke I want (or would I need to go into some code to do it)

I've tried taking a snapshop of the current state with adjustments. then click back to the original snapshot as the source, hoping the history brush would work, but it doesn't. is there a way to use the history brush with adjustment layers?

I've see one demo that doesn't exactly use the history brush, the paint black on the adjustment layer to expose whats beneath it.

Is this how you need to work with adjustment layers?

when I open the page it the gray box fills half of the box (left), when it should be putting a box on the top that is half of both width and height.

It appears as if it is ignoring the last property. Can anyone see what is wrong with the code?

jquery:delay problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 18:05:26 GMT

I'm trying to build a image gallery that will flip over, one image after another (using css). I can't figure how to get a delay from one flip to another using Jquery. I've have used delay() with animate before, but I can't seem to get it to work with this effect. Can you use delay() here?

$(document).ready(function(){

setTimeout(gallery_effect,2000);

});

function gallery_effect(){

$('#frameone .card').addClass('flipaction').delay(5000, $('#frametwo .card').addClass('flipaction'));

};

css transform:malfunction:

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:37:27 GMT

I'm having a problem with transform not working as expected, and I can't seem to see why.

It should flip from one image to another. when I hover over it to test it, the image will suddenly only show me half of the picture. then rotate to the other side, but staying in half view. I tried tinkering with sizes, but got no result.

Can someone look at the code (below) and see the fix I'm not seeing (What did I do wrong, what am I missing?)

.flip_container

{

width: 160px;

height: 125px;

position: relative;

}

#flipone

{

width: 100%;

height: 100%;

-webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;

-webkit-transition: -webkit-transform 1s;

}

.front {

width: 100%;

height: 100%;

position: absolute;

background-image: url(../Images/skate.jpg);

}

#backone {

Understanding rotation3d

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 03:01:56 GMT

Ive been teaching myself transforms in css and I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

Im trying to understand the rotation3d . Its unclear what the syntax means/what it is doing.

Rotate 3d (x y z angle)

I'm not understanding the number values you put in x y z and how it effects the angle? I thought it might be directional (clockwise/counter-clockwise).

Can anyone give me an explanation of this

jquery: logic issue

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:56:18 GMT

I've created a gallery but I am having some problems with getting it to tranistion properly.

The gallery has a row of thumbnails, and when you click on a thumbnail the lager appears.

they are both using css transforms to animate them.

click on the thumbnail they should both move up (translateY) the thumb disappearing, the larger image appearing(translateY).

I can get the thumbnails to work, but I can only get the initial lager image to work correctly.

I've been trying to figure out how two use two divs to transition them in and out. on a click the clicked image will move up while the other moves down.

I placed my code below. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

css transform problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:01:13 GMT

I'm familularizing myself with css transforms (sticking with 2D for now). I've been able to make them work with the hover selector

I'm having trouble figuring out how to write the transform as a class, and then use jquery to use that class to effect a div/image

here is what I got

.sm_display

{

display:inline-block;

margin:0 5px;

width: 162px;

height:100px;

border: solid 1px black;

-webkit-transition:All 2s cubic-bezier(0.075, 0.820, 0.165, 1.000);

}

.sm_display:hover

{

-webkit-transform: translateY(-120px);

}

.animate_selection

{

-webkit-transform: translateY(-120px);

}

Im trying to move the img up on a click. (I've just tried manually pasting in .animate_selection with the .sm_display class to get it to work, when I do that it pops into place without animation. Can anyone show me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Help with Menu Effect:Jquery

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 16:55:42 GMT

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this? I'm creating a menu that I'm looking to animate

What I would like it to do is when I select the anchor, Jquery will rotate the image.

here is one of the menu items:

<img src='Images/LogoMenu.png?v=1'/></div><a data-file="contact_us.html?v=1" >Contacts</a>

</div>

The jquery will get the attr of the data-file, and then use that to load the page via .load().

$('.menu_button a').on('click', function(){

$('.menu_button a').removeClass('selected');

$(this).addClass('selected');

changePage($(this).attr('data-file'));

})

I need to find a way to grab the parent of the anchors divs Id based on the selected anchor so I can use it to rototate the image. I've tried using ancestors, but I'm not familular with there use, so no sucess.

Can anybody give me some help

Jquery .load not loading

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:59:59 GMT

I'm learning how to build a web app, and I'm having a problem with jquery .load()

this is what I got for Jquery

$(document).ready( function(){

setOrientationListener ();

changePage('test.html?v=1');

});

function changePage(filename){

$('.Content_Container').animate({opacity:0}, 500, function(){

$('.Content_Loading_Container'.load('/Content/'+filename), function(){

alert('loaded');

})

}

It fades out but dosen't seem to load the requested page. I have the alert just to tell me if it loaded in.

I have the index.html file in the parent folder, and the test.html in a folder called Content.

(the page is just <p>loaded</p>)

I tried different path versions to see if it was the path loaction, but still didn't work

Can anybody see whats wrong?

Joining a Path

I am having problems trying to join some objects. I have a smaller circle in a larger circle. and an arrow (just two lines) pointing right. I would like to join these objects, so that each end of the arrow will join to each the circles and make it one object.

The effect Im looking for is that the center circle is gone/transparent, and I can fill inbetween the two circles with a color (with the arrow head included). Ive included the file (or an image, whichever it takes incase my description is confusing.

Importing PDF

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 18 May 2012 20:37:18 GMT

Is there a way via applescript to import a group of PDFs into a multi-page document, so that each pdf will appear on a page?

I figure thats a broad question. I've just never attempted a multi page import and then on placing on multiple pages. Does indesign have some applescript shortcut code for this, or would I need to do loops for each Pdf to be placed on each PDF page.

Any suggestions on where to find info, or how to do something like this?

Problem:animate Volume

Im designing a flash video controller. It has a scale for the volume (10 rectangles. one slightly taller than the other) each rectangle has its own instance, so each rectangle can change color as it increases or decreases in volume.

I can get them to change color as the volume increases, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get them to change back if the volume is deceased.

I cant seem to figure out the right conditional stament
