that said, here there is my ActionScript code to highlight the text inside a PDF page. It works with Flash 8 or previous ONLY because the new Flash 9 has a different AVM interpreter (AVM2) and many things have changed. Please note: - ``txt`` is the text to search and highlight inside your page - ``mc`` points to _root.text that's where I was keeping my swf/pdf page you should change that so it references yours. Here is the code: function hltext ( txt ) { var mc = _root.text; var my_snap:TextSnapshot = mc.getTextSnapshot(); var start_pos:Number = 0; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); while ( start_pos > 0 ) { trace ( start_pos ); my_snap.setSelected( start_pos, start_pos + txt.length, true ); start_pos += txt.length; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); } }

The online visualisation of data continues to stretch in many directions with great effectiveness. Inspired by seminal influences, such as Edward Tufte, there's an ever growing stream of online and offline tools, projects, research and resources for visualising, interpreting and researching ultimately any type of data, for a vast range of uses.

What is above all needed is to let the meaning choose the word, and not the other way around.

Cancel
When you think of a concrete object, you think wordlessly, and then, if you want to describe the thing you have been visualizing you probably hunt about until you find the exact words that seem to fit it. When you think of something abstract you are more inclined to use words from the start, and unless you make a conscious effort to prevent it, the existing dialect will come rushing in and do the job for you, at the expense of blurring or even changing your meaning

For everyone else make sure you follow these steps: 1. Use Flash 8 or previous version (I used 6) with the -T command : pdf2swf -T 6 2. Use the -f command for full fonts : pdf2swf -f 3. Test your outputted swf with: swfdump -t filename.swf , you should see a list of DEFINETEXT statements and the corresponding text. Due to a font conflict I was seeing DEFINETEXT followed by jumbled up text on my first pdf. 4. Test your outputted swf with: swfstrings filename.swf, you should see your text and a LOT of ???????s. Again, I had garbage text when trying to convert my original PDF. If the swfdump and swfstrings tests are working, load your pdf2swf.swf into Flash. Publish it for 8. I loaded it into a movieclip on my root timeline called 'loader' : loader.loadMovie("pdf2swf_files/6new.swf"); I have a movieclip called 'searchText_mc' and have the following code for it: searchText_mc.onRelease = function() { hltext ("wonderful"); } And then the hltext is as Fabio provided. This will yellow-highlight all the occurrences of the search string: function hltext ( txt ) { trace("hltext"); var mc = _root.loader; var my_snap:TextSnapshot = mc.getTextSnapshot(); var start_pos:Number = 0; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); trace("start_pos : " + start_pos); while ( start_pos > 0 ) { trace ( start_pos ); my_snap.setSelected( start_pos, start_pos + txt.length, true ); start_pos += txt.length; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); } } If anyone would like some sample files give me a shout,

Here, each view starts by checking that request.user is authenticated — that is, the current user has successfully logged into the site — and redirects to /accounts/login/ if not.

Cancel
It would be nice if we could remove that bit of repetitive code from each of these views and just mark them as requiring authentication.
...

Cancel
Now, we can remove the if not request.user.is_authenticated() checks from our views and simply wrap them with requires_login in our URLconf:

This has the same effect as before, but with less code redundancy. Now we’ve created a nice, generic function — requires_login() that we can wrap around any view in order to make it require login.

There’s an important gotcha here: the regular expressions in this example that point to an include() do not have a $ (end-of-string match character) but do include a trailing slash.

It's worth emphasizing the value of minimal, independent commits. The smaller the changes are the more useful the history will be when actually using the history, not just viewing it.
...

Cancel
Just run "git pull" everytime you want to pull in new changes that have landed in the upstream repository.
...

Cancel
Again, you'll see that this precisely matches the final portion of the output from "git pull". Using "git fetch" and "git merge" let us achieve exactly what "git pull" did, but we were able to stop in the middle to examine the situation, (and we could have decided to reject the changes and not merge them---leaving our master branch unchanged).
...

Cancel
For now, let's return back to the tip of the master branch by just checking it out again: $ git checkout master
...

Cancel
$ git --bare init --shared The --shared option sets up the necessary group file permissions so that other users in my group will be able to push into this repository as well.

Now, generally the purpose of pushing to a repository is to have some "collaboration point" where potentially multiple people might be pushing or pulling.
