The only book that covers Adobe AIR with AJAX (html, javascript) is Larry Ullman's Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) with Ajax: Visual QuickPro Guide
All the other books cover Flex (MXML) and Flash (Actionscript) and expect you to know those things first.
Can someone give me the code to show or hide a field based on the status of another field (in this case a checkbox). The actual application is Adobe Acrobat.

Great article. Just one question - why did you choose xml and not sqlite database? Don't you think using a sqlite database is a more stable way of storing the preferences?
How can I detect whether Adobe Acrobat Reader (any version) is installed using javascript? I am able to detect the installation using IE 5+/NS7 on Windows. But unable to detect on IE/NS on Mac 10.3.3
You'll see I'm a gamer as well as a web/desktop developer and I have built so many application in both technologies.
But yesterday I was amused by something I saw. I like to play this Combat Arms game from Nexon a very well developed FPS online action game, scince I downloaded the update I noticed that when I double click on the game icon it actually open a browser where I login (in the past I log in from the game itself) when I login I press a button IN THE SITE where it says "START GAME" and the game automatically starts.
now the question is "HOW THE HECK DID THEY DO THAT?" [code]...

How do I create a countdown timer to be used in adobe flash? I have the site planned out using Flash now I cant get the timer to work. it should start at 0 and go to 60 seconds.
I have a submenu that expands over the adobe pdf reader addon/plugin. See this basic exampleI need to make it so that the menu stays above the plugin. Currently, parts of it are cut off.After some research I came across the idea of placing an iframe below the submenu to force it to stay on top. As the topic suggests this is called an "iframe shim" and I have been some what successful. See this basic example one submenu is shown on page load because i plan to take screen shots of it) The only problem is that it doesn't work in opera. I have tested it in chrome and firefox and they are working. I can't test it in ie8 at the moment because the plugin for some reason just won't work on the page, however i have tested the approach before and it did work in ie
I just downloaded the new Adobe Edge program for creating HTML5 websites. I was trying out a proof of concept for something I wanted to do on a site with a simple circle shape (will eventually be a soccer ball) rolling across the screen when clicked. The animation looks great, but it happens when the page loads, not when the image is clicked.
It's not something that's ever really come up before, but I'm re-creating a desktop application as a web-app and I'm coming across a number of places where:1. A select box may be pre-filled with data from a database, and2. Changing that select box affects the rest of the page.I'm looking for a neat way to perform an action that could happen when the page loads, and/or when the select changes. Knowing my luck it's something stupidly easy.For example, some code that is currently in progress:
switch($('option:selected',$transaction).text()){ // On Load case 'Comparable': case 'For Sale / To Let': $.each($priceFields, function(){
i followed my first AJAX tutorial on the web: [URL]
the AJAX is working fine on the site itself, but when i download the source codes provided with the tutorial, it won't run from my machine. i checked this with several tutorials and all same. i.e. no results when run from the desktop machine.
I just came across following demo application: [URL] I have a few questions about this:What is the right approach to start a project, which have heavy use of JS? how to choose which library is best, or one should develop his own library specific to requirements to keep the file size smaller?
I am trying to put together a Adobe Air Application that is basically a RSS feeder for my blog (custom made). I have the Air application all design and coded on the front end in terms of how it looks. My problem now is that I dont know how to get that XML document to my Air application using jQuery. Im still a beginner at jQuery (and JS in general).
First off, sorry if this is the wrong section. Adobe Forms isnt exactly Web Development, but its the only place I could find to post about javascript. If this isnt the correct section, Now, onto the question (please note, I am inexperienced with javascript). I have an Adobe form with a default text like this I have javascript that looks like this, so that when tabbing into the field, it skips past the default text:
function SetEnd (text) { if (text.createTextRange) { var FieldRange = text.createTextRange(); FieldRange.moveStart('character', text.value.length); FieldRange.collapse(); FieldRange.select(); } } SetEnd(this);
I was wondering if there is a way to make it so the default text cant be changed at all. Even better would be an alternative way of having the default text there but not "part" of the field, but at the same time, not being able to type over it either.
I'm using Adobe Spry for some transitional effects, based on this script: http:[url]....The page I'm working on is located here: http:[url].....As you see, on page load the first item is shown ("Giovanni Pappalardo - Nullafacente"), and then the other records are shown when clicking on each thumbnails
My questions are:1. Is there a way to hide, on page load, that first item, and showing it ONLY if relative thumbnail is clicked? I tried to apply some "display: none", but I get stuck on JavaScript part, since nothing seem to work... (honestly my JS skills are very poor)
2. While doing transitions between a record and another there's a moment in which full image still hasn't loaded (and so there's a white placeholder); is there a way to avoid that, i.e. preloading images?
I have a client which would like to use Adobe Contribute to maintain their website, and the website requires popup windows (for larger images) or a lightbox feature. The problem is how do I make images popup into new windows, without toolbars, etc. I would prefer lightbox than popup windows, if possible. How I can do this, so the client can add more images, as they maintain their website? For anyone that hasn't used Contribute, you can only edit <a href="page.htm"> and nothing else for the links, so it means onclick can't be added to <a href="page.htm">. The only way to add a link is to click on a button in the tools.
I've been searching for a script that creates a desktop shortcut for a URL. The script must work for all versions of Windows and Mac. I haven't found anything useful in my research yet. I know it sounds pretty basic but I am not sure where the limitations are when jQuery and the clients' browser interact with the OS.
Does anybody know if there has been any groundbreaking on this subject with jQuery?
I am working on getting my tumblr blog on my web site and there's a feature in the template that I would like to use on my site but after going through lots of sites offering tools, I couldn't find one the same.
this is my blog [URL] when hovering over a photo, you see the zoom button, clicking it makes the picture bigger and fades the background out.
Anyone know where I can get a script to do this? Has anyone used one of these? Do they automatically work on all images on the page without extra code on each image?
is possible with JavaScript to drag and drop a .jpg from your desktop to a small square box on you website. On drop the picture has to upload the file and store it on the server.
I have a file that generates web galleries in Adobe Lightroom. They are generated depending on which files are selected and the metadata in those files.
Basically it is a series of pages of thumbnails called index.html index_1.html index_2.html etc.
Then a set of pages for each individual image.
An example can be seen here: [url](the page navigation links are not great, but I have addressed that, they're at the bottom >> )
Currently if a user clicks on a photo there is a 'return to thumbnails button at the top, but this always takes them to /index.html
So the user could be at a picture after browsing to /index_39.html and still get returned to /index
Is there any way I can use history.go to find the last instance of index.html Or index_x.html (where x is any number) and take them back to that instead?
I 'm working on a menu which imitates a desktop application menu toolbar (like this on your firefox ).Here's a demo[1] The menu is an <ul> containing <li> elements and <ul>s for sub-navigation.[2] User clicks the top-nav <li> with the arrow indicator and sub-menu pops out.[3] By clicking again the sub-menu hides.[4] Also by clicking outside the top-nav <ul>, a visible sub-menu hides (i used focusout event for this one).[5] Last one, a usability enhancement. Once a user clicks a top-nav <li> element with arrow indicator, he doesn't have to click again the rest <li>s with sub-nav. For instance, in the demo, if i click "Articles" and the menu pops out i shouldn't have to click "Games" in order to display it's own sub-nav.I'm having problems with [2]-[3], like arrow flickering as i click but before releasing the mouse button.umber [5] is a big mystery to me, i 'm not at this level right now.
