« Last post by gtech on Today at 10:32:36 AM »

You do not have to change any files extensions to make it work om your website.

Did you uploade everything correctly on your site?

Setup Support (MZ3 / HTML / ...) / Setting the param for ASUL files to extension xml

« Last post by aiet on Today at 08:38:57 AM »

After I upload all the files to the web server, I run index.html, and I got Error #2032. I knew I need to change the megazine.mz3 file and .asul files to xml.
 
I change the setting inside the index.html for megazine.mz3 to megazine.xml, is OK.

I knew I need to change all the *.asul file to xml inside GUI folder, but I still

need to adjust the ASUL files to extension xml, where can I set the param for the asulextension. The param is inside which file? Please help!

Technical Support (AS3 / JS / ASUL) / Errors When Directly Coding new MegaZine()

« Last post by dw_reiss on Today at 05:42:50 AM »

I want to create an instance of a Book and add a page just with code, which is stated in a code snippet in your wiki so I've done the following:

book = new MegaZine();
addChild(book);   
book.loadXML();      
book.addPage();

but I get a null error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
   at de.mightypirates.megazine::MegaZine/addPageAt()[C:\Users\fnuecke\workspace-fb\MegaZine3\src\de\mightypirates\megazine\MegaZine.as:1546]
   at de.mightypirates.megazine::MegaZine/addPage()[C:\Users\fnuecke\workspace-fb\MegaZine3\src\de\mightypirates\megazine\MegaZine.as:1395]

Do I need to wait for an initialization event?

Thanks

User Contributions / SWFTOOLS on a Mac

« Last post by gtech on Yesterday at 05:47:02 PM »

As I am in the process of moving my applications from a PC to a Mac, I also played with the idea of using Megazine3 on my Mac.

One of things that would have to be done is transposing Windows batch files to Applescript or another language. But first, the SWFTOOLS must be installed to permit the "Conversion of a PDF File into an MZ3 Book".

So that's what I finally did today, and I must say it wasn't as easy as I thought. And in case someone else want to do it someday, here is a detail that is good to know...  there is a mistake in a link right now and it won't install because of that...

Here is where I found the answer to why it wasn't installing  https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26075

It may be mentioned elsewhere but that's where I found it first.

So I had to:

sudo port clean -f --all db46
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install db46

to fix it and compile the swftools on my Mac as instructed

To compile swftools on Mac OS X,
You need to get Mac Ports. After this, do this:
   sudo port
   install swftools

Now, pdf2swf works on my Mac, and I can begin to keep working on the real goal... use MZ3 on my Mac

Technical Support (AS3 / JS / ASUL) / Customizing the navbar - Noob

« Last post by gordee on Yesterday at 03:31:38 PM »

Hi all,

First of all, Megazine is brilliant!

However, I am confused about how to change the size and colour of the navbar. i can add or remove buttons OK but I want to change the colour of the background bar and make it shorter as required. I can't see this in the ASUL file, and the buttoncolor, navbuttoncolors don't seem to do anything unless I'm using them in the wrong place....

really appreciate any help or examples.

Thanks a loot

General Support / Adapting pagenumbers

« Last post by rdgouw on Yesterday at 01:26:04 PM »

Hi,

Currently I have created a MZ3-book based on a discontinuous set of pages. The original book has been fragmented and parts of it are missing. This fact also causes a discontinous page numbering. E.g. its starts with page 21 to 30 then skips to a page number set 45 - 66 and ends with 74 - 81. Of course it would be nice if the corresponding numbers could be shown in the navigationbar. I know there is something lik a 'page offset' and that will help for the first set of pages. A problem rises however when the first 'gap' comes by.
Is there a way to define a set of page numbers that corresponds to the numbering in the incomplete book? Besides this I'd like to be able to present a customized page numering. The book I'm talking about uses for example the following system: "f. 21v" and "f. 33r" for page 'foilium 21 verso' and 'folium 33 recto' respectively.
Can this be done?

With kind regards,

Richard

Technical Support (AS3 / JS / ASUL) / Since update asul text width problem

« Last post by DevZeal on Yesterday at 12:41:03 PM »

Since i updated from 2.06 to 2.10 i noticed that my back-link text in navigation.asul got cut off.
I noticed it in the wiki aswell.

To reproduce it go to http://www.megazine3.de/doc/Category:ASUL and paste

Code: [Select]

<text name="backToLink" width="700" style="back-link" value="Nazad na www.example.com" />
The width is set to 700 but the text is cut off...


Am i doing it wrong?

Technical Support (AS3 / JS / ASUL) / Re: Jump to / zoom in on area possible?

« Last post by rdgouw on Yesterday at 12:34:21 PM »

Hi,

Sorry for responding so slowly; I was on holiday for a few days (has to be done too, sometimes )

I will try to explain the background of my question a bit. Currently I an experimenting with digitizing a very old handwriting. MZ3 offers some cool tools to show this material to a larger group of people (instead of keeping it in a safe). In many of these old books the following situation is applicable: a tekst on line A on page X refers to line B on page Y. Basically it says on line A: continue reading on line B on page Y (could even be in another book in some cases). As the teksts are in latin I'm using areas and title fields that show a translation of the tekst underneath the area while hovering over it with the mouse cursor. It would be very nice if someone could click on an area  that covers line A on page X and jump to page Y (that step is possible now) and highlight an area that covers line B (this step seems not possible for the moment). And vice-versa of course...
