• Please notify script Newbie question - iD

  Hello

  I just started learning InDesign script - (about 2 days ago in fact). AppleScript and JavaScript.

  Is there something that I need to create immediately (or very little). It sounds simple enough, but I'm not sure.

  My question is this - is something that requires a simple script I could create today?

  Or is it something that will require much more research?

  Heart - if I have TO do this as soon as POSSIBLE should I use my time trying to create a script or is it better for me to do everything by hand (chore, but doable) and let the script learning for another time.

  That's what I want to accomplish-

  I have a page with a single element that is not a master page element (in my case, a block of text that contains the title of magazine)

  I want to be able to quickly see this page in many versions where the only difference is the the title font.

  Example:

  I have this page with a single point and I have a list of 20 fonts that I want to try. I want InDesign to make my document of one page in a 20-page document where all pages are identical - except for the font used for the title.

  This is the same as the use of a feeder of type when you create a font scheme. type the text and displays each font in your game. What I want is to see a preview of each font, BUT already in MY layout with all the other elements of MY page. I can quickly select which characters works best.

  I would be grateful for any advice any more experienced scripters.

  Thanks in advance

  It's in CS4 and before you used labels from script to page name elements. In CS5, you name in the layers palette, like this:

  

• Features of the Matlab script node

  Comparing only the specific features that overlap of Matlab and Labview, is there an advantage for the latter to be able to run blocks in parallel? What exactly is the purpose of the Matlab script node in Labview?

  MathScript can be deployed on real-time hardware (if that is the question). I don't know about the others.

• Choosing a date, then to have this date fill in the next two weeks.

  I have a form that has a start date, put end to date fields then 14 representing the next 14 days. I wish that she either auto fill all fields when you choose a date. For example, if I choose the start date of 01/01/2016 then the end date would be auto complete to 14/01/2016 then each field day below that would have filled in with 01/03/2016...01/14/2016 01/01/2016, 02/01/2016.

  Currently, I have date pickers for each field and it works fine just painful.

  Thanks for any help.

  You should read these tutorials:

  https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-Acrobat-JavaScript-part-3

  Basically, the process is to use a custom calculation script to read the date entered, string to convert to a Date (using the util.scand method) object, to add X days (using the setDate method) and then print the new date (using the util.printd method).

• How to create an Image/Picture button

  Hello..

  Well you can do it in one of 2 ways: -.

  1 put the tablespace contains the data offline files, copy the data index files to the new location, and then change the database rename ' old/file/name/location of the file' to 'new/file/name/locatio. put storage space online. Completed successfully, remove the file data from the old location.

  2. in the hope that these two data files belongs to 1 tablespace and tablespace that contains only the index, you can create a tablespace with its data on the new mountpoint file again, then rebuild the index of aid (dynamic script)

  change owner.index_name tablespace new_tbs_name n parallel reconstruction;

  Once all the indexes have been moved to the new tablespace you can drop the previous old tablespace.

  I would prefer 1.

• Newbie needing help, setting a Pixel dead using scripts

  Hi all.

  I have an EOS 550 d and if it takes pictures fine, with some video recording settings, it has a pixel died in 1308, 877. It leaves a small but noticeable black-purple spot with a radius of about 3 pixels on my raw images.

  I'm hoping to write a script that takes the color of pixels outside of the affected area and sets the point to be the correct tint, which makes it less visible, but I don't know how to do this and unfortunately a little on the internet and in books I have on the use of legacy lacking documentation. I tell myself that I can do if I just make a mask of the affected area and write an expression for the hue adjustment but it seems such a chore to put everything for all my images and if there is a simpler way, or a way to automate that, it would be appreciated. So nobody here knows how to do this with scripts? Or point me in the direction of a tutorial or something that can show me how to do this? Write a script or plugin even what should I do to solve this problem?

  Sorry for what is probably a newbie question very, but there still to change the color of a single point on an image probably doesn't come too. And before anyone asks, I have a lot of experience with JavaScript - but not with the SDK of AfterEffects.

  Thanks in advance!

  Mathematics of color is delicate. No way around that. It doesn't matter that it's expressions, scripts or modules hardcoded, especially that in your simple case an average of any color mode necessarily would not give a good result. You know, perceptional stuff like appearing on the other hand, if the error is near one edge and all that... And you cannot change the data pixels directly with expressions and scripts, anyway, so you could for example use a circle to camouflage the task and animate its color. Since you know JavaScript, you might be able to remove one way or the other, but outside the tiem to knit the code, the performance would be pretty horrible. The AE expressions are the most basic script without any optimization like runtime bytecode generation or threading same interpreter... To cut a long story short: for the particular scenario, you can simply consider RevisionFX' RE: fill. Does everything you need.

• Flash Newb, button Script troubleshooting

  I'm not a total newb when it comes to Flash, but I'm not far away. Anyway I need help for coding on buttons script. I know how to have effects with flipping and clicking on the button, it's all good, but coding is when things go wrong.

  I have a layer just for coding, don't know if that's good or bad. In any case what I have so far.

  gotoAndPlay (2); < It works well.

  Nexts.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, ClickHandler);

  function ClickHandler(evt:Object):void {gotoAndPlay (11) ;}}

  ↑ This... not so much. I don't know if it's good coding or if I'm really going. In any case, I'm doing a simple flash based quiz.

  There is a question, and answered a few possible downstairs. By clicking on the bad, I kept just one button without coding.

  However for the right answer, I want it directly to the following question, which would be the framework.

  The following image is 11, but it's not working because I had planned. I worked with this last night for a few hours without success.

  If someone is willing to help a newb full script, I would appreciate it a lot. I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript3.

  I also tried a few tutorials on layers of randomization. In this way, if I click on the button of the correct answer, he goes to a random question. Although I couldn't get this to work, if someone knows a good tutorial or wants to help me with this, I would be very grateful, thank you!

  You are welcome.

  p.s. in the future, please check the useful/correct, if there is.

• Newbie script question: how to change a story in a particular style

  I am new to scripting and I'm getting to know the built-in script FindChangeByList. (I use InDesign CS4 for Windows.) I use the excellent script to find tapes of changes by Martin Fisher (modified by Kasyan Servetsky). It works brilliantly, but I have a question. I want to add a string of FindChangeList who take an object any selection or history and put it all in a style particular (the real name of my style is "Body2.TextIndent"). This should be the best thing to do, but as a newbie, I'm puzzled. The only thing I could come up with was to find 'any character' and replace it with the style I wanted, so something like this:

  text {"findWhat: ' ^?} "} {appliedParagraphStyle:"Body2.TextIndent", changeConditionsMode:1919250519} {includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:false, caseSensitive:false} //Transform the history in the Body2.TextIndent style

  This does not work, but it's very, very slow. I guess the program must change all the characters of the style I want, that's why it takes so long. Is there a faster and more efficient way to write this? Yet once, I'm just trying to turn the story into a particular style. Obviously, this could be done in two clicks in correct InDesign, but I want to integrate this into the syntax FindChangeByList.

  Thank you!

  P.S. is there a difference in the use of FindChangeByList in the Javascript version compared to the version of Visual Basic? I took the version of Visual Basic to chance and that's what I use.  (I use the script to find tapes of change to develop my strings, as I indicated above.)

  Of course, this could be done in two clicks in correct InDesign, but I want to integrate this into the syntax FindChangeByList..)

  Why do you want to use FindChange for this? It is horribly inefficient. Whence this requirement? Or you just want to tell you want to do in a script, not that it must be a FindChange script?

  The paradigm of right in the scripts here is the same that interactively - set the appliedParagraphStyle for each of the selected paragraphs, a loop on those paragraphs. Do not do operate at the level of the character and do not use FindChange.

• Newbie question: script to pause between loops

  I am a newbie Designer, graphic in Flash who knows only the basics of action scripts. I want an animation to get to the end, wait 'frozen' on the last image for an amount of seconds I specify, and then play from the start. However, when my animation is coming to the end, it plays back without waiting for (logically, since I have not introduced a script in time interval). How can I specify this time interval? What script to use and on what image should I place it?
  
  Thanks in advance for your help

  Hey Mosh,

  By default, the playhead on your main time line will start to play without any instructions. In fact he 'loop' without any outside help unless you decide.

  If you want to be sure that your animation plays everything you need is "play()" or even "this.play ()" but the result is the same. "This" is referring to _level0 if you did put a trace on it.

  So, replace your "gotoAndPlay (1)" by "play()" on the first frame
  and
  on the very last remove frame the "gotoAndPlay (1)" as you now order this action on the service call back within the "executeCallback()".

  I know it says "play()" in the service that has been created, which is fine, but you can change that to ' gotoAndPlay (1) "if it helps you to understand a little better.

  Everything we do here is establishing the function at the beginning and he put back in action when we need it. It does nothing until we call in the last picture with:
  intervalId = setInterval (Thi, "executeCallback", seconds * 1000);

  The "stop()" function on the end does what it says on the Tin. It stops at the playhead dead in its tracks and then the head of reading waiting for something to tell him to do something else. That is why the statement "intervalId.

  So in summary what we do here is paste an object into 'intervalId"that says"the trigger executeCallback() function"after" seconds * 1000 "(the 1000 is used here because Flash works with milliseconds) has passed. And why that said this is because we spent the 3 parameters to the setInterval() function. That's why > this, "executeCallback', seconds * 1000<. strange="" though="" why="" you="" dont="" need="" to="" include="" the="" "()"="" right="" after="" "executecallback".="" but="" hey="" it="">

• Newbie question: can a LabView script or exe run on a Web server and interact with PHP?

  Hi all

  I am a complete newbie. I had to have an existing LabView project and have been asking if it can work with a PHP Web site. I would like to be able to create a form (for entry) on a Web page, and then go this LabView project entry existing. The existing LabView project then treats the input and generates a text file that the user wants to download from the site.

  So my question is, is it possible? If so, how to configure it and what products/costs might be involved?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Andy -.

  There are a few limitations "Remote panels" who probably will not do what you are trying to do as possible.  First, the remote panels have only runs on a Server Web of LabVIEW, and this server does not support PHP.  Integrate a web site that uses a web server with more features of LabVIEW is to put the server on a different port and then use an iFrame or something to integrate LabVIEW remote panel page into your own web site.  Communication back will probably have to use another protocol tansportation or to read and write files that they read and write.

  I highly recommend that you look in another function to LabVIEW, called "Web Services".  These are quite a bit different approach of the remote control and are available only on version 8.6 and later (and probably only editions of developers).  Services Web of LabVIEW allows you to perform a LabVIEW program (or modify an existing one) to connect back using XML.  It is a common place to consume and send commands to a Web Service of LabVIEW by using something like PHP or Flash.  However, you are responsible to provide interfacing features in the language that you use that consume the Web Service of LabVIEW.  For example, instead of a graphic on the front, you would need graphical data output and a PHP program that can do something with it.

  Web Services are quite handy if you need a 'light' client, as well as material interaction features of LabVIEW.

• Newbie question - tide may run a remote PowerShell script or BAT file?

  My first post.  I am new to raz, but I've had experience with other planners.

  I have a PowerShell script that must be run on a remote computer.  All the script needs software is installed on this computer.

  In addition, I need the script runs under a service account.  Is it possible and if yes, how can I go about it?

  This work will be be launched manually whenever this is necessary.

  Sure. There are some screenshots. A variable one, I used for the location of the folder on the server of tide (not required but I use a lot of scripts). One for the command of tide itself. The last one is the script runs remotely on windows work. Let me know if they don't make sense.

• A Newbie Question, Windows Activation Script

  I would like to have a script that will run on my VMs and in the case of servers Windows determine whether or not they are registered.  I've been digging around, but I can't use the correct Google search questions or maybe it can't be done.  Has anyone here ever written or seen a script that does this?  In the best case, I hope to set up to run daily.

  My problem is that someone from my team of server is certain that VMs that have been properly saved are becoming unregistered for some reason any.  I suspect that they just were not recorded correctly at the beginning.  I don't have empirical data to prove it, but I think that this process of script will not only answer the question, but it will prevent also that to be a problem in the future.

  Thank you for reading this you have an answer or not.

  You can do something like this

  $computer = Get-Content Env:ComputerNameGet-WmiObject -Class SoftwareLicensingProduct -ComputerName $computer |select name,licensestatus
  

  One of the returned items should show a 1 in the licensestatus column

  

• PowerShell script for DR purposes

  Hey all, coming from a windows background that I tend use VI Client to all of my needs, but I'm trying to get in tune with the tools and scripts what better then to do with powershell. We are currently running VI 3.5 U5 and VC 4.0 U1. What we want to do is to use powershell to do a few steps from our DR plan. We would like to be able to break the snapmirror, sweep guests ESX DR, once all LUNS are present we want to then be able to run the powershell script and record all virtual machines of the Rd. and put back them online. I'm still looking since I found a few pieces of the puzzle, but I would appreciate greatly any input in this case.

  Thanks again.
