• Variable + Loop = "undefined".

  Hello

  I want to make that a single loop in my animation and then continue.

  To do this, I added a trigger on my calendar and added this code:

  if (typeof oneLoop == 'undefined') {
    var oneLoop = true;
  }
  
  if (oneLoop) {
    oneLoop = false;
    sym.play(0);
  }
  

  But the loop is infinite because the variable resets.

  How to do?

  I'd do it quite differently, but hey, I like different.

  in compositionReady, add:

  isplaying = 1;

  SYM. Play();

  on the section where you want to loop:

  {if(IsPlaying==1)}

  SYM. Play (0);

  isplaying = 0;   change the value of the variable to 0 so it will not loop again.

  }

• Is it possible to rename the variable loop for I?

  I do a lot of work with 2D arrays.  Sometimes, it would be useful when browsing the tables for one of the index named i and the other named j.  Is it possible to change the name of the variable increment other than what actually in another variable?

  Thnaks.

  Hummer1,

  As already said, there is no way to change the image of the final iteration.  However, you can add a description to the wire.  Click with the right button on the wire, then select "Description and Tip", type the name/description you want in the box.  Now you can move your mouse over the wire, and the description will appear in the context-sensitive Help window.  I hope this helps.

• document.variables.removeAll)

  Using CS5, I would like to remove all the variables that appear in a panel of document variables, so that newcomers can be put in without any error happening. But removing them causes an error of Illustrator. After inspection of the OMV, document.variables is a read-only element. Why is it a removeAll(), at all, or are there other ways to achieve this goal?

  I had the same problem with other collections thrown errors with removeAll() as well, I just tried to delete all sets of data and that works fine, so not all readOnly collections I have this problem.

  for variables, loop through them and remove one by one.

  Have you ever tried adding the line Add-PSSnapin the scriptblock in the 2nd script.

  Another problem could be that the script sends messages of 'warning', and these may cause crashes in tasks in the background as well.

  Try to set $WarningPreference = "SilentlyContinue".

• PL/scope

  Hello experts,

  I'm trying to understand what makes PL/scope and how it might help with the programming. What I understand, it seeks all identifiers in PL/SQL (variables, loops, input/output parameters etc.) and records in a table.

  Can what additional information I turn on PL/scope? and how dangerous is it possible because I saw a caveat on some sites you might need to restart the database or drop it:

  Oracle PL/SCOPE

  Do not try this with any database, that you are not ready to give up

  Just watch, and that the warning is just recompile the standard package of in the SYS schema with the option of identifiers: PL/SCOPE.

  I agree, that doesn't look like a good idea.

  Read the documentation and use it to your own code, not for stuff SYS.

• Help with animation and buttons

  So, I have a small question. I have an animation that is configured to stop when I open the swf file. A 'play' button is ther and works fine, when I hit him he plays through the animation, but stops once it's done. I need the looping animation at the beginning. Can someone help me?

  If you have a bunch of code the first image that defines what you can not return to the first image in your loop. Only you know what you have for the code on the first frame for answering this question. If this is the case then on the last frame of the animation just skip the first image by saying to go back to the frame 2 to complete.

  On the last picture:

  gotoAndPlay (2);

  If you want to repeat the frame 1 then put your stop() in a condition. Something like this:

  If (loop is nothing)

  {

  first row (var loop does not exist)

  define the var so there will be next time

  var loop: Boolean = true;

  stop at the start

  Stop();

  }

  The next time that animation refers to the Framework 1 variable "loop" will exist and the stop() will be ignored, says the head of (looping).

• Workaround for calling from InDesign on Mac Acrobat

  With the help of @Test username and @Gilad D, I could get my original problem about 90% fixed.  Now, I need to tie everything together in order to solve this puzzle.  This puzzle called Acrobat from a script on Mac InDesign.

  Windows users have no trouble because BridgeTalk is available for their use, allowing them to call Acrobat directly from InDesign script.  Mac users, on the other hand, have been cheated by Adobe.  BridgeTalk does not work with Acrobat on a Mac.  Unfortunately, where I work, I found myself in the unenviable position to require a script (written in JavaScript/ExtendScript) InDesign to call Acrobat to a simple page of replacement function.  And, of course, our computers here at work are all Macs.

  With the help of the above, I, at least, got most of the way.  I discovered that AppleScript can be used to call Acrobat and do things.  And there is a 'doScript()' JavaScript function, which allows the scripts to another language to be run inside a JavaScript script.  Unfortunately, I ran into a wall when have AppleScript to save a file, but at least I can have call a function of the JavaScript script folder level to take care of her for me, I looked for work.  Yes, you can see the complications here.

  So what must happen, then, is a JavaScript script that calls an AppleScript script which in turn calls another script JavaScript that runs inside Acrobat.  Phew!  Talk about a script-reception!  But I was actually able to make this work!  However, I ran into a little snag.

  You see, I need to pass a variable through each of the three layers of scripts so that it works.  I'll post what I have so far.

  First of all, the top-level script, which runs inside InDesign.  This is just a test script to make sure that it all works before I integrate it with the real InDesign script:

  var fName = "testfile2.pdf";
  var aFName = new Array;
  aFName.push(fName);
  scriptFile = new File ("/apache HD/Users/apache/Documents/unlockCover.applescript");
  app.doScript(scriptFile, ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE, aFName);
  

  Now, the AppleScript file (the middle layer), you can see being referred to above:

  on run argv
            set unlockedFile to item 1 of argv as text
            tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
                      do script ("unlockCover(" & unlockedFile & ");")
            end tell
  end run
  

  
  

  This should, in theory, finally call the last script (low level), which is a JavaScript file saved inside the box at the level of the files for Acrobat, so that it runs automatically as soon as the launch of Acrobat and the function remains in memory to be called at any time:

  var unlockCover = app.trustedFunction(function (fName)
  {
            app.beginPriv();
            var myDoc = app.openDoc("/g/ ArtDept/Product Templates/ ProofCover/proof_cover.pdf");
            myDoc.replacePages(0, "/apache HD/Users/apache/Desktop/Old samples/407471 Folder/407471_cover.pdf", 0, 0);
            myDoc.saveAs("/apache HD/Users/apache/Desktop/" + fName);
            myDoc.closeDoc(true);
            app.endPriv();
  });
  

  There are the real meat of it.  These four lines between "app.beginPriv ();" and "app.endPriv ();" are those that this is all about.  However, I get an error message when I try to run the script at a higher level:

  End of line but found consistent application or review.

  If I send a call to each of you scripting gurus out there, how can I put the last nail in the coffin of this monster and call it a day.  I'm pretty sure 100% that the problem lies in trying to pass the argument ("aFName' in the top-level script) for the intermediate level AppleScript script.  Any ideas?

  Problem solved.

  I played with it a bit more and discovered that it was, indeed, passing the variable of AppleScript script that was the problem.  I used 'on run argv', I read on some site earlier today as the way AppleScript handles the arguments given.  More recently, however, I discovered that JavaScript uses a table defined as 'arguments' whenever AppleScript him passes a variable.  So, on a lark, I decided to try to use 'arguments' the other way ' round (I also had to add an extra set of quotes in the line "do script" AppleScript seems to save strings to variables without them):

  set unlockedFile to item 1 of arguments
  tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
            do script ("unlockCover(\"" & unlockedFile & "\");")
  end tell
  

  And who did!  I can now pass a variable all the way from code JavaScript/ExtendScript InDesign JavaScript Acrobat low-level code top-level!  YAY!
  

• General optimization

  Hello world!

  I have a few questions about genral code optimization, I demonstreate examples below:

  (1) is it better to use: for (i = 0; i < Array.length; i ++)

  {

  Code of...

  }

  or:

  length = Array.length

  for (i = 0; i < length; i ++)

  {

  Code of...

  }

  (2) is it better to use: for (i = 0; i < NUM; i ++)

  {

  If (tempArray [i] .property is something)

  {

  Code of...

  }

  }

  or: for (i = 0; i < NUM; i ++)

  {

  tempVar = tempArray [i]

  If (tempVar.property is something)

  {

  Code of...

  }

  }

  (3) (may somilar to 2..)  is it better to use: for (i = 0; I < NUM: I ++)

  {

  table [i] = new object (...)

  }

  or:                                                             for (i = 0 ; i < NUM : i ++)

  {

  tempObject = new object (...)

  table [i] = tempObject

  }

  I have more questions like that, but respond to those who should help me get started...

  Also, is there aby fomral documentation Adobe concerning these things? I couldn't ' find there... So, if someone could refer to such (if it exists), I'd be grateful.

  (Edit: by preformance I mean time to use and them RAM - I develop for mobile so this is crucial)

  Thank you!

  It's the optimization chapter in a book I wrote:

  For loops, While loops loops

  The bottom line of fast execution loops in Flash is reversed for loops are the fastest.  If a list stored objects of the same type is required in the loop, a loop reversed using a vector to refer to the list of objects is faster.

  All three loops run faster if you use an int for the iteration parameter if you use a uint. All three loops to run faster if you decrement the loop variable, instead of increment.  (Note: If you decrement a variable loop i and use I > = 0 as long as the condition of senior year, you will trigger an infinite loop if i is a uint.)

  All three loops run faster if you use a variable or a constant for the terminal condition rather than a property of object or expression.

• Interactive package vs permission issues?

  This piece of code works fine when entereed (or using the source @) in a sqlplus session:

  I am aware that ORA-942 means usually not sufficient privileges. But in an interactive way, I choose the table successfully (it is owned by sys). I tried two schemas different non - sys, with the same result.
  
  Help?

  When you want to use a table inside a stored procedure, function, or package, you must grant access directly to the owner of the procedure/function/formula.
  You can't grant by role. Grant through role is sufficient for interactive sql, but not for the stored procedure.

  So:

  1 login as the owner of the table
  2. select on grant

  à ;
  3 log in as the owner of the procedure
  4 compilation

• AppleScript Variable error

  Hi all

  I'm writing an applescript script which is called with a variable and then use that variable in the script. For example:

  on run argv
    set a to item 1 of argv
    tell application "iTerm-2"
      tell current window
        tell the current session
        write text "ssh" & a
        end tell
      end tell
    end tell
  end run
  

  There is something fishy's going on with the open with - command args and AppleScript. I suggest that you run your application as follows to capture item 1 of argv:

  osascript mypp.app machine

• Get the value of the cursor in variable AppleScript

  I'm looking for a pointer on where to start with this project, please.

  I want to create an application with a simple slider - say, the divisions of 10% on a scale of 0 to 100% - and then to feed this entry in a script variable.

  I guess it will be something with AppleScriptObjC.  If this is true, can anyone recommend that a good getting started resource please?

  Yes, you can use AppleScriptObjC, but there are also many other languages and tools that can be used.  Are you familiar with AppleScript and cocoa, or programming in general?  I ask because AppleScriptOBjC is a framework that allows you to access Cocoa classes and methods go AppleScript, so you would need to know a bit about the two of them.  In addition, the Interface Builder in Xcode is what is used to generate the UI for your typical application of cocoa, so you would need to know a little more about this as well.

  Apple doesn't have a lot of specific other than their Release NotesAppleScriptObjC documentation, because they expect you to be able to use the existing Objective-C stuff.  However, an early AppleScriptObjC tutorial can be found at MacScripter.net, and something more to date can be found at MacOSXAutomation.com.
