Open a web browser from an After Effects script

Hello

It is perhaps a silly question, but is it possible to open a web browser with a URL from an AE script, other than the lanuching explicitly the application browser via a sys.callSystem () command?

I'm asking because obviously scripts must run on Windows and MacOS, and favorite browser / default user will not necessarily be IE or Safari. It and I will have to find the path of the file to the browser that anyway in some way.

It's to view external help.

Thank you

Christian

OK, so I found a method that works.

Within your script dynamically create a local, temporary HTML file that performs a simple URL redirection, such as:

called something like "openwebpage.html".

Then use the new File("openwebpage.html").execute (); to open the HTML file in the default browser. The Javascript code in the head tag of HTML forward to the web page you want.

    Any browser (IE, Chrome, etc.). Any application as long as it's a subway app (mail, etc.). If I click on a link to a Web page from any metro Windows 8 app it is 10-15 second delay before its opening.

    Hi all

    I have a problem with the reception of emails on my 8330.  It is a relatively new problem for me.  Everything worked fine until a few days ago.  My camera will display only new emails when I open the web browser.  I have not changed anything in the settings.  I can send emails fine.  I have read similar problems, but have not been able to find a solution to this problem.

    If anyone can help me please let me know.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    I suggest the following, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come):

    (1) registry HRT

    • Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > host Routing Table > (it matter little what line is current) > sign up now

    (2) Service reference books

    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

    (3) restart to take batt

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact probably your carrier for formal support.

    Is it possible to add a post to post it here at the front of the forum to host the pdf after effects Scripting? Fortunately, I will post the guide Guide AES CS6 and CC JavascriptTools if it is authorized by Adobe to do it in this forum. Don't want to break the law of author/legal/anger a God somewhere.

    I only ask that I noticed a considerable number of issues that can benefit from these guides. During that they can be difficult at times to decifer for the unknown. As it is now, the official site of these guides is supposed to be here:

    http://www.Adobe.com/devnet/aftereffects.html

    Unfortunately the CS6 guide is located on the region of interest here:

    http://blogs.Adobe.com/AfterEffects/2012/06/scripting-changes-in-after-effects-CS6-plus-ne w-scripting-manual

    and the Javascript Tools Guide is not anywhere (to my knowledge) online. The only way to get it is by downloading ESTK, who is not everyone uses. That's why excluding them from some of the answers they can get.

    If I'm basically asking permission to place, from this date, the PDF straight forward course in this forum. Please enough with the frosting on top.

  • I installed CS6 Web Premium is why After Effects CS6 in trial mode?

    I bought Creative Suite Web Premium this summer before the creative cloud became mandatory. I used After Effects on Friday, November 14, 13 for several hours and it was quite good, but when I tried to open it last night, 18/11/13 he put me an end to my free trial version and I need the software under license. I tried to restart my computer, does not work and then I found my serial code for the creative suite, but it still doesn't work. Then I downloaded cloud creative and put to update my After Effects, hoping that it would make a difference, and there is still no change.

    I used a free trial version before I bought the Creative Suite, if it makes a difference, but I paid for the program and you need it for a project. Help, please!

    > I bought the Creative Suite Web Premium

    After effects is not in the suite Web Premium, so the only version of After Effects you've ever had would have been the trial version.

    If you have a creative Slóð subscription, then you must download and install After Effects using the creative Cloud service.

  • How to jump to an anchor html when you open a web browser in LabVIEW?

    I would like to have the possibility to access an HTML anchor in a page I open in a web browser using LabVIEW.  I found a hacky solution to the former position of following forums (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/HTML-VI-Help-and-Firefox-bug/td-p/242055), , but I thought I'd check and see if there were other, better solutions available.  I don't want to use an ActiveX control to accomplish this task.

    You should be able to add #anchor - label at the end of the URL to access the anchor to the anchor label. Who does not work for you? What browser?

    I did a clean boot, as was suggested in another post on this forum, but the problem persisted. Any help would be appreciated, because I still can't use a web browser.
