Hi i have bookmarklet code to load a scripts from a mirrored backup location if my main hosting goes down, it works but i want to know the best way to do this as i know the current way i am doing it is probably not the best way.
(this is a example of my backup bookmarlet code expanded)
javascript: (function () {
var scriptname = 'testscript';
function checkServerStatus() {
var v = setTimeout(function () {
loadscript('backupserver.hardiman.co.nz')
}, 4500);
var a = document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('img'));
a.onload = function () {
clearTimeout(v);
loadscript('screepts.com')
};
a.src = 'http://screepts.com/ping.gif?' + Math.random();
}
checkServerStatus();
function loadscript(b) {
var a = document.createElement('script');
a.type = 'text/javascript';
a.src = 'http://' + b + '/bm/' + scriptname + '.js?' + Math.random();
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a)
}
})();`
And this is it wrapped up as a bookmarklet :
Test Script
Any help or advice on loading a script from a backup server would be greatly appreciated..
Okay sorry i should have been more specific on the question. Since my hosting went down i was able to test the above code properly. I think the only thing i need to do is parse what server was loaded to the script.

I'm looking for a way to give my SharePoint users a way to create new wiki pages from an existing template. In the process of researching I found a great walkthrough that seems to fit the need (http://www.mssharepointtips.com/tip.asp?id=1072&page=2), but I'm having trouble getting it to work. The problem seems to lie in the assignment of a path to PATHTOWIKI-- if I use "/Weekly Update Wiki", the script returns an error of "There is no Web named '/Weekly Update Wiki'." If I use "Weekly Update Wiki" without the forward slash, I instead get an error of "There is no Web named '/sites/[parentSite]/[childSite]/Weekly Update Wiki/Weekly Update Wiki'."
Any ideas about what I'm not understanding here?
function myCreateProject() {
// Configure these for your environment
// include no slashes in paths
var PATHTOWIKI = "Weekly Update Wiki";
var PATHTOPAGES = "Pages";
// file name only for template page, no extension
var TEMPLATEFILENAME = "Template";
var myPathToWiki = encodeURIComponent(PATHTOWIKI);
var myPathToPages = PATHTOPAGES + "%2f";
var myTemplateFileName = encodeURIComponent(TEMPLATEFILENAME) + "%2easpx";
var EnteredProject = document.getElementById("NewProjName");
var myNewName = EnteredProject.value;
if(myNewName == "") {
alert('Please enter a name for the new project page');
} else {
myNewName = encodeURIComponent(myNewName) + "%2easpx"
$.ajax({
url: PATHTOWIKI + "/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.dll",
data: ( "method=move+document%3a14%2e0%2e0%2e4730&service%5fname="
+ myPathToWiki +
"&oldUrl=" + myPathToPages + myTemplateFileName +
"&newUrl=" + myPathToPages + myNewName +
"&url%5flist=%5b%5d&rename%5foption=nochangeall&put%5foption=edit&docopy=true"
),
success: function(data) {
var rpcmsg1 = getMessage(data, "message=", "<p>");
$("#myInfo").append("<br />" + rpcmsg1);
if(rpcmsg1.indexOf("successfully") < 0) {
// get error info
var rpcmsg2 = getMessage(data, "msg=", "<li>");
$("#myInfo").append("<br />" + rpcmsg2 + "<br />");
} else {
$("#myInfo").append("<br />Go to new page<br />");
}
},
type: "POST",
beforeSend: function(XMLHttpRequest) {
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("X-Vermeer-Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
}
});
}
}
Update: I figured out what needed to happen in my case. Since I couldn't get a grasp on the relative approach, I just went with the absolute path for PATHTOWIKI and slightly modified the append in the ajax call.
PATHTOWIKI:
var PATHTOWIKI = "https://[domain]/sites/[parentSite]/[childSite]";
append:
$("#myInfo").append("<br />Go to new page<br />");
The change in the latter line of code is subtle; since I used an absolute path in PATHTOWIKI, I just removed the leading forward slash in the anchor tag, so that <a href=\"/" became <a href=\"". This renders the script slightly less portable, but since it's a one-off effort I'll stick with this unless anything comes along to expand the scope.
I have a game with a preloader in scene 1, with the following code on the time line.
stop();
loadingBar._xscale = 1;
var loadingCall:Number = setInterval(preloadSite, 50);
function preloadSite():Void {
var siteLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded();
var siteTotal:Number = _root.getBytesTotal();
var percentage:Number = Math.round(siteLoaded/siteTotal*100);
loadingBar._xscale = percentage;
bytesDisplay.text = percentage + "%";
if (siteLoaded >= siteTotal) {
clearInterval(loadingCall);
gotoAndPlay("StartMenu", 1);
}
}
The code works fine when there are no music files linked to frame 1. If there are music files linked, then everything loads before the preloader shows up.
I found this great webpage about preloaders, which speaks about the linkage issue, and suggests I put all the big files on frame 2, after the preloader, then skip them. I put my large files on frame 2 as suggested and the preloader worked again.
My question is, is there a better way to do this. This solution seems like a hack.
The only better option I can think of, is to NOT store the MP3 file in your Flash file, but rather load it in your preloader with your flash file's content. This is provided that you're storing your MP3 file somewhere else online (like on a server).
stop();
loadingBar._xscale = 1;
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
sound.loadSound("http://www.example.com/sound.mp3", false);
var loadingCall:Number = setInterval(preloadSite, 50);
function preloadSite():Void {
var siteLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded()+sound.getBytesLoaded();
var siteTotal:Number = _root.getBytesTotal()+sound.getBytesTotal();
var percentage:Number = Math.round(siteLoaded / siteTotal * 100);
loadingBar._xscale = percentage;
bytesDisplay.text = percentage + "%";
if (siteLoaded >= siteTotal) {
clearInterval(loadingCall);
gotoAndPlay("StartMenu", 1);
sound.start();
}
}
I am trying to write a big project which involves of a lot of code. That's why I want to separate functionalities from different files.
the first file, dataJS, I make an AJAX call to get data from a JSON file.
the second file, showJS I want to display the data obtained from the dataJS file.
When it comes to implementation, I realise that AJAX call takes longer time and even though I include dataJS and showJS in order, showJS will still get a null data
therefore I made a function called continueFromDataJS() in showJS file
and call continueFromDataJS() at the end of the AJAX success function.
I think it's a rather makedo solution. Is there any standard way to do it?
In addition, all intellisense in my Visual Studio is gone. Despite separate files, is there any way to make visual studio get intellisense from the dataJS?
Thank you
sorry, I don't know how to add a follow up question
this is the code
for simplicity I rename some of the files and only take some part out of it. Hope that helps
code in html
code in dataJS.js
var planets = [];
var jsonData = null;
$(function () {
$.getJSON("Scripts/planetData.js", function (data) {
//planets[0] = new planet("uranus", "career", 45, 700, 400, 0.1, 5, 3);
jsonData = data;
for (var i = 0; i < data.planets.length; i++) {
var curPlanet = data.planets[i];
planets[i] = new planet(curPlanet.graphic, i, curPlanet.field, curPlanet.planetInitialAngle, curPlanet.distanceFromStar, curPlanet.planetRadius, curPlanet.planetRevolvingSpeed, curPlanet.planetRotationSpeed, curPlanet.contents.length);
$("#result").append("<p>" + curPlanet.graphic + " " + curPlanet.field + " " + curPlanet.planetInitialAngle + " " + curPlanet.distanceFromStar + " " + curPlanet.planetRadius + " " + curPlanet.planetRevolvingSpeed + " " + curPlanet.planetRotationSpeed + " " + curPlanet.contents.length + "</p>");
}
callDisplayScript(); //**continue from showJS.js file is that the way to do this?**
});
});
// more functions below in dataJS.js
showJS.js
function callDisplayScript() { **// this is the ugly part. What's the proper way to do it?**
$("#display #close").click(function () {
$("#display").fadeOut('slow');
});
$article = $("#display article");
$article.empty();
var data = jsonData.planets[pID].contents; // **this line won't get jsonData if it's out this curly brace.**
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
$article.append(data[i].title);
$article.append(data[i].content);
}
$("#display").fadeIn('slow');
};
don't forget to answer my intellisense question. I want in datajs.js automatically hint planets and jsonData declared in datajs.js
is it possible?
I am creating some campaign swf banners and I don't use action script very often so any help from the experts would be great thanks.
I am supplying my banners on my website as resource downloads. And tutorials of how to embed the swf which has some javascript flashvars.
These flash variable is then concatenated into a google campaign link to change the utm_source.
This is my javascript...
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.campaignSource = window.location.hostname;
var params = {};
params.loop = "true";
params.quality = "best";
params.wmode = "opaque";
params.swliveconnect = "true";
params.allowscriptaccess = "always";
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("banner.swf", "banner_mpu", "300", "250", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
and my html...
<div id="banner_mpu">
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
<img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
</a>
</div>
So the above js works great, however, not everyone will use my tutorial code and will probably use there own methods to embed the swf banner on their site.
So I need some back up action script 2 to get the current hostname into a action script variable
This is my action script which I have so far on my button (swf)...
on(release) {
function GetTheHostname() {
var RootFullUrl = _root._url;
txtFullUrl.text = RootFullUrl;
var lastSlashIndex:Number = RootFullUrl.lastIndexOf("/");
var DriveIndex:Number = RootFullUrl.indexOf("|");
if (DriveIndex>=0) {
baseUrl = RootFullUrl.substring(0, DriveIndex);
baseUrl += ":";
} else {
baseUrl = "";
}
baseUrl += RootFullUrl.substring(DriveIndex+1, lastSlashIndex+1);
txtBaseUrl.text = baseUrl;
return baseUrl;
}
var campaignSourceAS2:String= GetTheHostname();
if ( _root.campaignSource == undefined ) {
getURL("http://www.mysite.co.uk/?utm_source=" + campaignSourceAS2 + "&utm_medium=MPU&utm_campaign=My%20Campaign%202012", "_blank");
} else {
getURL("http://www.mysite.co.uk/?utm_source=" + _root.campaignSource + "&utm_medium=MPU&utm_campaign=My%20Campaign%202012", "_blank");
}
}
The problem with my action script is that it returns the full current URL.
Can any one please help me adapt the GetTheHostname function to get the host name instead of the baseURL
Thanks in advance
In that case, I guess it would be as easy as stripping the http:// from the url and then get all that's left to the first /
A one-liner to go from 'http://www.example.com/category/actionscript' to 'www.example.com' would be
var baseURL:String = _root._url.split("http://").join("").split("/")[0];
and to replace your full method
getURL("http://www.mysite.co.uk/?utm_source=" + (_root.campaignSource || _root._url.split("http://").join("").split("/")[0]) + "&utm_medium=MPU&utm_campaign=My%20Campaign%202012", "_blank");
I am trying to automate the process of scanning/cropping photos in Photoshop. I need to scan 3 photos at a time, then use Photoshop's Crop and Straighten Photos command, which creates 3 separate images. After that I'd like to save each of the newly created images as a PNG.
I looked at the JSX scripts and they seem to a lot of promise. Is what I described possible to automate in Photoshop using JavaScript or VBScript or whatever?
I just found this script just did the work for me! It automatically crop & straighten the photo and save each result to directory you specified.
http://www.tranberry.com/photoshop/photoshop_scripting/PS4GeeksOrlando/IntroScripts/cropAndStraightenBatch.jsx
Save it to local then run it in the PS=>File=>Command=>Browse
P.S I found in the comment it said the script can be executed directly by double clicking from Mac Finder or Windows Explorer.
Backup gist for the script here
I actually got the answer on the Photoshop forums over at adobe. It turns out that Photoshop CS4 is totally scriptable via JavaScript, VBScript and comes with a really kick-ass Developer IDE, that has everything you'd expect (debugger, watch window, color coding and more). I was totally impressed.
Following is an extract for reference:
you can run the following script that will create a new folder off the existing one and batch split all the files naming them existingFileName#001.png and put them in the new folder (edited)
#target Photoshop
app.bringToFront;
var inFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Please select folder to process");
if(inFolder != null){
var fileList = inFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif|psd|)$/i);
var outfolder = new Folder(decodeURI(inFolder) + "/Edited");
if (outfolder.exists == false) outfolder.create();
for(var a = 0 ;a < fileList.length; a++){
if(fileList[a] instanceof File){
var doc= open(fileList[a]);
doc.flatten();
var docname = fileList[a].name.slice(0,-4);
CropStraighten();
doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
var count = 1;
while(app.documents.length){
var saveFile = new File(decodeURI(outfolder) + "/" + docname +"#"+ zeroPad(count,3) + ".png");
SavePNG(saveFile);
activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES) ;
count++;
}
}
}
};
function CropStraighten() {
function cTID(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
function sTID(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };
executeAction( sTID('CropPhotosAuto0001'), undefined, DialogModes.NO );
};
function SavePNG(saveFile){
pngSaveOptions = new PNGSaveOptions();
pngSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
pngSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
pngSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
pngSaveOptions.quality = 1;
pngSaveOptions.PNG8 = false; //24 bit PNG
pngSaveOptions.transparency = true;
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, pngSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
}
function zeroPad(n, s) {
n = n.toString();
while (n.length < s) n = '0' + n;
return n;
};

Have you tried using Photoshop Actions? I don't now about the scanning part, but the rest can all be done by actions quite easily.
