How to catch events with ActionScript in InDesign CS5

Could some kind soul please be proivde a complete example or provide a link to a complete example to listen to and manipulate one even in InDesign with ActionScript extensions? All of the examples I see are for JavaScript and will not work in ActionScript.

TIA,

mlavie

Hey!

I suggest you look here: http://blogs.adobe.com/cssdk/2010/08/makesideheads-a-complete-indesign-cs5-panel-2.html

It is the excellent post from Olav on the creation of Panel for InDesign. There are also "id_host_adapter.swc" which is necessary to create event listeners. Import library:

import com.adobe.cshostadapter.*;

After the successful importation of library, you can attach event like this:

IDScriptingEventAdapter.getInstance().addEventListener(com.adobe.indesign.Event.AFTER_SELECTION_CHANGED, listener);

Hope that helps.

    How to record down version Cloud Creative InDesign CS5? Exported as a file .idml but still the messages that plug-ins are missing, although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    Yes. Thank you. I based on another post misled. Successfully done this by selecting 'File', 'save a copy... ". "then choosing"for CS4 or later (IDML).

    He had little patience and several tests, but I think it was because of hardware (memory) overloaded version CC cloud or something. It was a 50 MB, file of 500 pages and took 17 minutes to convert/save,

    Recap: dnuee to CS5, do not use "Export" (IDML); use ' Save as ' or 'Save a copy' and select "for CS4 or later (IDML).

    Advice much appreciated.

  • How to center the web page in indesign cs5

    Hello world

    I'm new to this forum and I hope I will get help, because I need

    I made a web page in indesign cs5, export to SWF and generated HTML.

    My swf file looks good, but my html file is not centered, web page is positioned

    in the upper left and I want it to be in the Center.

    How can I put it there?

    Thnx a lot!

    Hresta

    You must apply the margins of the car left and right in the div that contains the site. Given that I'd never use ID for a website that I don't know what kind of HTML/CSS gets exported with the SWF file.

  • Help with PDF import Indesign CS5 trial version

    Hello: I'm in a bit of a quandry. I have many PDF files I want to convert it to Epub. I called Adobe and asked them what program I need to do and they said InDesign CS5, so I downloaded the trial version to check it out. The problem is that there is no command to 'place' in the trial version, which is how could import the PDF file. So I'm left unable to perform a test with this software and don't want to buy a program that I can not confirm. Workarounds or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Krista

    No command to place? Check work spaces to make sure that you do not have one that hides the menu items.

    Secondly, I don't see how InDesign is going to be the right tool for this.

  • Problem with resizing table InDesign CS5

    I have problems with resizing of tables in InDesign CS5.

    The width can be entered and a decrease, but the right height do move up nor down when you pull in the lower right corner or anywhere else on the base of the columns.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Is it a bug or maybe just me not understanding things correctly in the help...?

    Any contribution is appreciated if you knock out. :-)

  • How do I change view percentage in InDesign CS5?

    This seems like a stupid question but I have recently updated from CS3 to CS5 and can not find where you can type in how much you want to see the page to. It used to be in the lower left corner (and is still in Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5), but I can't find it in InDesign CS5. I don't want to use the preset zoom percentages, I want to be able to type in a number like 90% or 55%, etc. I have search on several sites and gone through each menu option but can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Look up at the center of the application window. Unless you spend on it, it is grey like the rest of the toolbar. But it is there.

  • How to set up default InDesign CS5 in the system with InDesign CS4 has the default value?

    How to set the application default .indd InDesign CS5 when you installed CS5 and InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS4 is the current default (InDesign CS4 has been installed after the installation of CS5)

    Thanks, but I already tried at first, but is not effective.

    I think that its because of this reason:
    The two - InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS5 have their application/program/exe named "indesign.exe".

    Installation of either InDesign CS4 or InDesign CS5, sets a default for the 'indesign.exe' Windows path. In this case, since InDesign CS4 was installed later (after InDesign CS5 was already installed), the "indesign.exe" which has been staged "Indesign.exe" of InDesign CS5 has been replaced by "Indesign.exe" of InDesign CS4.

    But after long google and searching through regedit, I have the solution:

    1. Search for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Shell\Open\Command in regedit
    2. Change the value of the attribute (default) for "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe" '%1' / / including the quotes

  • With the help of Tibetan in InDesign CS5

    Hello


    Just bought CS5 design standard package to upgrade my suite of applications to work. This led me InDesign CS3 and Photoshop CS, where unicode Tibetan could not be entered correctly, CS5 where it works wonders, where I never had problems with the Tibetan, InDesign CS5, where I can't seem to do stack properly, little matter what I do.


    My understanding of how the unicode Tibetan works are his function of ligatures, string permutation of characters for the good stacked version, but surely inDesign CS5 contains not less strong ligature handling than CS3? Perhaps his most complex and there are just options that I need to dig up and enable or disable? Ideas for what I can do to get the Tibetan works correctly in inDesign CS5 would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, I have a feeling that I needed to be able to read Tibetan to understand this 100%. The installer is in Tibetan only, so I'm completely lost. However, he threw a whole bunch of new fonts on my machine, which have 'United' in name and appear at the bottom of my list of fonts with the rest of the standards complex script fonts. All good so far, right? However, they all have the same problem writing on Lao & Thai code points that I pointed out earlier. As I said, this can paralyse your project. This is a hack very well back into the 1990s, and it's a good hack at the beginning of the Decade. However, as I've learned painful several times, if a person led-band complex script support together bypassing of Unicode support gave the application, then this application updates can break the duct tape and cause serious problems when you attempt to update an old document with a new version of the app "even".

    I couldn't read the instructions or the program installation, but at least one of the .msi files asked me to install a new language that I didn't recognize. It has been a time loooooong since that happened to me. He also asked me to install the infamous usp10.dll, which is infamous as if you've been paying attention to these questions in the last decade. (Some bright young Cambodian children once downloaded this DLL, responsible of the character advanced for the Windows subsystem that manages complex scripts, from the site Microsoft VOLT.) They broke open, he rewrote and distributed to all and diverse to allow the Khmer Unicode script almost, just like your Tibetan almost Unicode. It was a bad time to be a composer Khmer - I already had Cambodian fonts in ten different encodings, and adding more fonts that have been the homebrew almost Unicode fonts made my shivering Cambodian workflow stop for a few weeks while I tried to figure out what works and what wouldn't.)

    Anyway, because Adobe is working on its complex-script-rendering-tools behind the scenes, they're causing your fonts to stop working. So the question is: can CS5 really make true Unicode Tibetan successfully? Or do you need to continue to use the old fonts from workaround? If you need fonts from workaround of the 20th century, it seems that you may need to convert the encoding you are using currently to another. Understand what we can do will take a lot of time; I just sent you a PM, let's Exchange e-mail addresses and then we're going to cut through what works and is not in InDesign, and then we can put a summary for people who will find this thread with Google so that they do not have to be pioneers.

  • How to manage the structure of the event with two loops

    I have a question about the structure of the user event with 2 buttons?

    key 2: STOP LOGGING DATA

    How do I control my

    super_saiyans wrote:

    the problem with moving it is that I don't have control of the DATA RECORD STARTING?

    Of course, you do.  When you get your press conference button, you say your state machine to move to the State of logging.  You must also make sure that you return to visit the State to wait for the event to check out the events of the stop button.
