So, this is pretty silly. I'm working on a banner ad that utilizes the clicktag. It's a surprisingly fancy one that uses pointroll, and when you hover over the 300x250 banner ad, it pulls up a larger one overtop of it that is bigger and much more interactive. In total, the larger banner has 29 clicktags, all using the variables "clickTag1" to "clickTag29".
The banners are all done, everything fires correctly (according to my trace statements). However, I'm in the middle of QA, testing all of the clicktags using this validator: https://flashval-temp.appspot.com/validator/ , when suddenly, it stops working after clickTag20. I thought it may have been the validator at first, so I tried other validators. No luck. I went back into my code (everything is a duplicate of one template, so the only code changes made were the changes to the string), and made sure to test it again. They're firing off just fine according to my trace statements.
Finally, and this doesn't seem to make sense to me, but I switched the variables clickTag20 and clickTag21. The button that fired off clickTag20 worked, so I assigned it clickTag21. The button that was assigned clickTag21 was the first to stop working, so I assigned it clickTag20. When I ran that through the validator, the button that was assigned to clickTag20, regardless of which button it was, worked! The one that was assigned clickTag21 never did, also regardless of which button it was fired off from.
The variable is a string of a paramObj. How does the content of that string matter? I would have assumed it was compile order, but even in that case, clickTag21 should have fired and not clickTag20. What is going on here? Has anyone else experienced this? If so, did you have a workaround? Please and thank you!!
Here is the thing... when you set a clicktag you're waiting for a flashvar. A parameter sent from the HTML to your SWF file. (more: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/pass-variables-swfs-flashvars.html)
Usually you'd test, if this parameter doesn't exists, the banner should do nothing, otherwise, open the link.
Turns out, and this is a guess, that these validators don't know how many clicktags you have in your flash file - or how many parameters you're waiting for - , so they pass up to 20 variables to your flash file, which is more than reasonable.
The bottom line is: if your events are working, you should be fine. Pointroll has a QA team, if something comes up, they will let you know, but as far as I can see from here, you should be fine.
Good luck

Hello dear people of Stackoverflow,
currently I am writing acceptance tests with Codeception using Selenium as WebDriver module. In my test to check if our sub-navigation exists, is complete and works I struggle with the following piece of code:
$I->see('Partners');
$I->click('Partners');
all the see calls are working perfectly, but the click call fails with an ElementNotVisibleException stating that the element to be clicked is not visible, which I don't understand since the see call worked.
To make sure we're not seeing any old "Partners" string on the page but it really is the link I want to click, I changed the call by adding the a selector.
$I->see('Partners', 'a');
$I->click('Partners');
Still, I'm getting the ElementNotVisibleException from before. In the next step, I added a context to the click call to this:
$I->click('Partners', 'a');
Which made the exception disappear. Still, the click never happens, the test simply fails with the message:
Link or Button or CSS or XPath element with 'Partner' was not found.
I even used XPath in the click call like this: //a[text()='Partners'] and get the same message.
What bothers me the most with this is that the see call seems to see the link I am trying to click and moreover, even the page source and screenshot provided by Codeception after a fail contain this very link, visible and in valid HTML.
I tried to click on some other elements within the sub-navigation with the same result, while - which is even more strange - clicks on links in the main navigation seem to work just fine.
I have no idea why this doesn't work but any help is greatly appreciated.
I don't understand exactly why it happens in some cases and not others, but I've found a solution that works for me: Use CSS selectors only.
Basically in some cases (I think it has to do with clicking on div/span rather than a/button) ->see() will work with the fuzzy text string as first argument, but ->click() requires the explicit CSS selector.
So this will have the "I can see but not click" problems:
// BROKEN
$I->see("All topics", ".header-taxonomy .taxonomy-list-title");
$I->click("All topics", ".header-taxonomy .taxonomy-list-title");
But this will work:
// WORKS
$I->see("All topics", ".header-taxonomy .taxonomy-list-title");
$I->click(".header-taxonomy .taxonomy-list-title");
Obviously it's not ideal at all, partly because it requires a unique selector, but for me mostly just because it makes the tests and testing output less consistent and harder to read.
Either way, I just wanted to get this testing script finished, and now it's working, and because I'm still using ->see() with the fuzzy text locator, I'm still confident that the text is showing before I click.
Notably, this issue doesn't happen when using the PHPBrowser module, which is what tripped me up. I "upgraded" to WebDriver and found my scripts were broken in all these places due to the different behavior of ->click() (in addition to the expected need to open menus before using them, which wasn't needed in PHPBrowser)
OK. So first, I will try my best to explain so good. My friend has gotten cursed out on this forum for not explaining, so I will explain. :)
Ok so I have my program built and all. But then it hit me! Wouldn't it be better to add a news feature? One teeny tiny problem? I cant? How would I implement a interactive code into an HTML page.
Like can i connect a button to a URL that will make the program do something. Almost like you can open cydia tweaks with there identifier and url EXAMPLE: http://handleopenurl.com/scheme/cydia And then i can add urls so i can update the program, without updating the files.
Or even just a featured news thing would be nice. But how would i implement this perfectly. I tryed a webrowser, but the page is too big for it. I am good at html, not much at css, i mostly use Adobe Muse http://www.adobe.com/Muse
Last question. Kinda defies the first thing i said about having my program finished.
Is there a way i can add a plus button and make it add more buttons and more labels and all?
This would help with allowing users to customize more then what the program can handle. By The Way, its a winter board Theme Maker. So I have a bunch of icons with there bundle identifiers and I create the folders with VB.net and all that stuff. But i want users to be able to click a plus button to add MORE text boxes and file browsers.
Any ideas? Maybe DIM 1 as NewFileBrowser? But i need to move all the buttons and i need it to be able to be clicked an infinity amount of times. I can do the coding for all of these buttons, but i jest need to know how to create them <1 Move them and the button so that the button goes further down each time, and more boxes will go further down. Much help apreciated. THANKS:)
EDIT:
Are you trying to say that you're wondering how to have a web browser control in a vb.net >app, which displays a web page, and when a button is clicked on the page, your app detects >it and does something? – Thraka
That sums up the top part. I am using windows forms, and it is coded in VB.net
If you get the object you want, like the button, you can hook the event and have it call code in your form.
Find the object using the Browser.Document.GetElementById method.
With that object, add an event handler to the Click event.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.htmlelementeventhandler(v=vs.110).aspx for information about the event handler used
After I upgraded my programming machine to MountainLion and XCode to the new version I get this warning printed into the console everytime I run my application:
It does not make sense to draw an image when [NSGraphicsContext
currentContext] is nil. This is a programming error. Break on void
_NSWarnForDrawingImageWithNoCurrentContext() to debug. This will be logged only once. This may break in the future.
I'm not using an Image anywhere in my Application and I searched the whole project for an image but couldn't find one. Does anybody know what could cause this?
I'm using 2 nib files btw: One Popover and the Mainwindow. Neither of them contains an image.
Edit:
I found the line when this appears:
[self.popover showRelativeToRect:[appDelegate.menulet frame]
ofView:appDelegate.menulet
preferredEdge:NSMinYEdge];
But none of those object is nil. Any suggestions?
Edit 2:
The Menulet is a NSView subclass btw. So I'm passing a view.
I tried setting the breakpoint but it is called when the nib loads. So it is very non-specific. I created a copy of the nib and then deleted objects from it one by one until the warning went away. In my case, it was an NSOutlineView. But as as soon as I added a new NSOutlineView, the error came back.
I was finally able to remove the warning by rebuilding the entire NIB by hand. Painstaking but it got rid of the warning.
If you have a NSImageView that's initialized in the nib but with no image set (and you draw the image yourself in code) just set it and the warning will be gone.
In my case, it's because the image size is {0,0}, which "doesn't make sense".
Actually, the image is for a NSButton, I change the button's image programmatically. In one case, the button should be empty, so I just set an empty image with [NSImage new].
But the error occurs, then no matter how I change the button's image, the button is always empty.
After setting a size to the empty image, the problem is solved, and I can change the button's image successfully.
In my case the warning resulted in rewriting my menuIcon with a rectangle (Working on a menuBar application). Haven't solved the problem yet, but I know where it came from in my case. If you have a menubar application, check the code which generates your icon.
Got another weird/specific question for y'all: I'm able to do with this with other .swfs just fine, but Ookla's Speedtest is something of a problem. Basically we have a part of our website that runs Speedtest to determine somebody's bandwidth and use its results in some if statements. But when the person tries to change panels and come back in, Speedtest just sort of disappears. It's supposed to go back to the beginning and start again, but it's like it just keeps running and turns invisible.
When I tried loading another .swf in the SWFLoader, I could get it to reset just fine without disappearing. There's something specifically about Ookla's Speedtest that's causing a problem. If I do nothing to reset the Speedtest .swf when the user starts moving around panels, it won't disappear at least. Putting in code to make it reset is a completely different story though.
What's the trick for this program? Did Ookla design the .swf specifically so it wouldn't work like that or something? Thanks!
Evidently Ookla has designed the .swf against being used like that, which is probably costing them customers.
I've run into this problem twice in all the site's I've designed and I can't figure out how to fix it. (The flash compiler has not given me any errors for this.)
Here is the link first of all
http://rollingsquare.com/AKJ/akj.html
Once you're in the site click on portfolio and then click on "the excelsior" what happens is that for the first 4-5 clicks it won't do what it's supposed to do and it'll start randomly either stopping at a frame or playing a from a frame. Once it's done it's randomness it all works perfect again, but those initial clicks do not take you anywhere.
This is an externally loaded SWF and I've loaded it with 2 different techniques hoping it was that but that didn't fix it.
I've tried simply placing a UiLoader and linking it and what it is now, a var myLoader.
Anyone run into something like this before?
You should try to be more specific in asking programming questions. I almost took it as a spam link.
Anyway's if I am getting you correct, the initial thumbnail clicks don't load the image.You should probably use individual loader for each of those large images.
