cfschedule rerun if fails?
Hi, I'm trying to come up with a solution where I can use cfschedule to execute a page. If the page fails then cfschedule runs again until the page correctly executes. Is there anyway to do this? I'm trying to stay away from CF Admin to set up the scheduling. And thus would like to use cfschedule tag instead. Another question do I have to define the scheduled event first with a UPDATE and then with a RUN for the action? Or will the action UPDATE actually execute the scheduled event that I define in the tag right away? Thanks, Jack ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Detecting if java enabled for CFSET flashmoviename.swf
Patricia,
Thanks for the quick response however my problem is not that I'm trying
to determine if a browser supports Java or even what type of browser is
being used. That is easy enough through cgi variables.
Symptoms:
The problem I'm having can best be explained with the following link and
a couple of steps:
1. View http://www.trifolium.com/ with Netscape
2. Everything including the Flash file at the top should be working fine
3. In Netscape go to Preferences, Advanced, Uncheck "Enable JAVA"
4. View page, Now it should continuously show the loading screen.
Cause:
Much like this site I am using in the body tag and onload function that
= play (). The play () function is defined in the Javascript. This code
looks like this:
function go()
{
var InternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1
var header = InternetExplorer ? window.movie : window.document.movie
header.Play()
}
In the first frame of the flash file I have set a stop () command so
that soon as the user hits the page it holds the playing of the movie
until everything is loaded which then triggers off the onload function
in the body tag which in turn executes the go () function in javascript
which sends a play () command to Flash.
Again the problem's core issue is that JAVA needs to be enabled for
these steps to work. Else it will not since the message is never sent to
Flash or Received by Flash, take your pick I'm not sure.
Possible Solution:
The possible solution to this problem is since Cold Fusion code will
always execute before Javascript will there must be a way of using Cold
Fusion to detect if the End Users browser has the setting "Enable JAVA"
turned on. If that is possible then I could easily point the End User to
a Flash file that has the "stop ()" function in the first frame or a
Flash file that just begins playing after a few frames have past etc.
I know you guys at Figleaf are pretty good at merging Flash and CF
figured I'd shoot this on the chattyfig mailing list since this is an
issue I'm sure someone has run into before.
Thanks,
Jack

- Original Message ---
All,
I'm trying to come up with an equivalent solution to detecting if java
is enabled on a end user's browser and if so then use a specific flash
file in the object/embed tags that are set through use of ColdFusion. So
far I have this javascript:
if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' &&
navigator.appVersionindexOf('MSIE 3'))
var java = false;
else
var java = navigator.javaEnabled();
My question is if I am using cold fusion variables to define the
parameters and settings how can i add logic to this to be able to use
say a specific flash file instead of another? (this is a specific
problem i've seen when trying to do fscommands to flash or flash to
javascript, etc.) I want to create a work around that enables me to use
one of two flash files, etc.
The problem I see is that since cold fusion will always execute before
javascript this is not possible. Has anyone tried this and if so how?
Thanks,
Jack

Re: text to speech program recommendation? (for db->middleware->flash)
Dave, Thanks for your feedback. Why would you say it would be better to do it client side as opposed to server side? I'm guessing it's really a questions of performance/speed in getting the text to wav and then having it come into a flash file? Unfortunately because the user base will not be controlled, an IE only solution won't work. And because of the real need to have the solution server side I think I'll be stuck heading that route. :: Wonders if throwing more hardware at the problem would solve it :: >From your posting is it then safe to say If I were to go with a server side solution, purchasing of an L & H product would not be necessary since a version of it comes with MS Agent that I can use instead? I had tried giving them a ring but alas they did not want to recommend a shrink wrap package and was more interested in providing a "solution." If by using the Agent the result is the same then of course that would be more to my liking as the cost won't be an issue :) Finally I haven't really had a chance to get into COM all that much any materials you can point me to, to get me started? Thanks, Jack P.S. By the way just wanted to say I thought the presentation you figleaf guys put together down at Bethesda a couple of months ago was awesome, Flash front end interfaces to apps that really cook.

text to speech program recommendation? (for db->middleware->flash)
Hi, Can anyone recommend a text to speech "TTS" program that would allow me to create a web app using coldfusion, asp, php, etc. (lang doesn't matter) and be able to connect to a database for the text which in turn is fed to the TTS program which outputs a wav file that can be used by flash to import through generator or other and thus having dynamic sound being generated through a flash file? The process would be something like this: DB --> TextFile --> TTS Program --> WAVFile --> Generator --> Flash (of course flash would be the activation point which would actually start up the process by going to a db connectivity set page such as an ASP file which will kick off the rest. Flash's next step through Generator would then be to get the Wav file, etc. Also anyone know of a mailing list specific to generator? (news server won't work for me) Thanks, Jack -- Jack Montealegre Application Developer G.Triad Tel: (973) 428-9600 ext. 7618 Fax: (973) 428-1112 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gtriad.com FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT G.TRIAD Visit the G.Triad Corporate Web Site http://www.gtriad.com -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
Re: Integrating with Flash
Oh by the way if anyone is looking for videos on Flash check out www.Lynda.com In the third video they cover use of Loading variable information although doesn't go into detail in as far as loading data via making use of javascript that would have the flash file as a target or some of the other advanced approaches to the subject. I recently picked up a couple of books on the subject Flash 4 Magic is a good one. Has examples of Flash and PHP and some other nice tricks you can do with Flash. Flash 4 Bible seems to be very popular as well I haven't had a chance to go through it entirely however so far so good. Some places you may want to check for code examples are: www.flashplanet.com www.who-where.com There are examples of Flash and PHP/Perl/ASP/etc. Not sure if they have added CF and Flash examples actually I think there maybe one or two on those sites.

Re: Integrating with Flash
I didn't think a URL Encoded String had a max limitation. Been working with Onload Variables in Flash from a CF file for months now. Works fine. Now I just wish there was a way to speed things up into the low milli-second range ;) Actually now that I think about it I don't believe there is a limitation on the String if there is can anyone let me know what number it is?
