Help for the clueless

Hello
I am giving up trying to get BT to help me with this. I wont repeat the endless frustrations that I am sure you hear here all the time.
I have no technical know-how, so here are the only tests I have managed to run, as I cant seem to get some of them to work.
My problems started a couple of years ago when BT shut down our connection for a days work on planned 'upgrading'. When it was switched back on my normally zoomy broadband connection had slowed to a crawl. It crawled along and limped along for about a year, then got to an almost acceptable level ( though only a shadow of its former self ), and now is up and down between unbearable and just enough to be a damned relief from the endless spinning wheel of doom, or things like the BBC iPlayer message of "insufficient bandwidth to stream this programme'. YouTube clips often need half an hour to load, with the computer switched to silent, then played back from cache.

Help For The Clueless - Where To Start?

Let's say, hypothetically, that I have no programming
experience beyond writing a random number generator in basic on my
Commodore 64 back in 1984. Let's pretend that I haven't the
slightest understanding of Javascript and only a handful of basic
HTML tags in my programming arsenal. Imagine that I have no real
idea of the method or syntax of any modern programming language.
Where would I even begin to learn how to apply ActionScript to my
Flash project?
I have plenty of animation and design experience, am
extremely familiar with AfterEffects, Carrara and other
timeline-based animation programs, and am fairly intelligent, but
almost every "basic" Flash ActionScript resource I find online
seems to assume that I have a basic understanding of computer
programming. I need something that tells me how to "speak" AS3 -
what a bracket means as opposed to a parenthesis, what a "string"
is and how it's used, what's an "event handler", etc.
Can anyone recommend the best way for a non-programmer to get
a grasp on the basics? If I could learn those, I'm pretty sure I
could figure out much for myself. My sincere thanks in advance for
any advice.
PS - What's got me skeered is that I went online to find out
how to make a text box populate one letter at a time as if it was
being typed. It would seem such an effect would be pretty popular
and thus have an easy mechanism built in to accomplish it. The
answer I got pointed to a huge page of code that was entirely
cryptic to me. Is this pretty much what I'm in for?

The big break-through for me was when I was able to wrap my
head around
the concept of objects. In short, everything of useful value
in
ActionScript is an object. Movie clip symbols, button
symbols, text fields
... those are objects. But even nontangible (or only vaguely
tangible)
things, like math functions, glow effects, today's date ...
those are
objects too.
They have characteristics, such as a movie clip's width and
height, its
x and y position on the stage. They have things they can do,
such as
play(), stop(), gotoAndPlay(someFrameHere). They have things
they can react
to, such as a mouse click.
Characteristics are called properties. Things an object can
do are
called methods. Things an object can react to are called
events. Generally
speaking, you'll find these three categories (as applicable)
in the class
entry for every object in the documentation.
Objects are defined by something called a class, which is
basically a
recipe or blueprint for the object in question. Movie clips
are defined by
the MovieClip class, text fields by the TextField class, and
so on. The
date/time is defined by the Date class. Arrays (lists of
things) are
defined by the Array class. There's a math class for math
methods, a String
class for strings (collections of characters), and countless
more. Some
classes work in groups (consider the Sound, SoundChannel, and
SoundTransform
classes).
So when you're considering how to accomplish a given goal,
consider
first what object you're dealing with. Is it a text field
(what you were
calling a text box)? Check out the TextField class. Your next
question is,
What aspect of this class am I intereted in: property
(characteristic),
method (thing it can do), or event (thing it can react to)?
Like us, classes take advantage of inheritance. I'm a human,
but I'm
also a mammal, and I'm also a vertibrate, etc. The closer you
get to the
branches of the family tree (i.e., the human side), the more
specific it
gets. For example, there's no reason for the Human class to
describe
spines, because that's already covered by the Vertibrate
class. That said,
humans *do have* spines, so when you look up the Property,
Method, and Event
headings of a given class entry, make sure to click the "Show
Inherited
Properties / Methods / Events" hyperlinks to see the full
functionality
available to that class.
The TextField class, for example, features an alpha property
(transparency) that it inherits from the DisplayObject class.
From that
same branch of the family tree, text fields also inherit
their x and y
properties, which makes sense: clearly, text fields can be
positioned at
any number of (x,y) coordinates on the Stage. TextField also
has a text
property, which indicates the text content displayed by that
text field
(that property isn't inherited).
If you look up the methods for that class, you'll find a
setTextFormat()
method, which is something an instance of this class can do:
it can set the
formatting (visual style) of the text it contains. As you dig
deeper,
you'll find a TextFormat class, and so on. Everything is an
object. :)
Events include mouseOver, mouseOut, keyDown, keyUp, and
more. If you
want something to happen when the user types into this text
field, you might
write an event handler (a custom function) and associate it
with the keyDown
event.
I'm giving you a high-level gloss, obviously ... but when I
finally
grasped the organization of the Help docs ... it made all the
difference.
If you're creating objects with code, you'll do what's
called
"instantiating and object," or "creating an instance" of that
object. Could
be like this:
var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
At this point, the variable myTextField is an instance of
the TextField
class. You use that variable as a "nickname" or "handle" to
the object you
just created. If you want to add text to your new text field,
you reference
it by its instance name and set the TextField.text property
of that
instance:
myTextField.text = "Now I actually say something.";
If you want to positiion it somewhere in reference to the
timeline or
object in which it resides (might be the main timeline, for
example) ...
myTextField.x = 50;
myTextField.y = 100;
And to make it show up on the Stage, you have to add it to
the display
list. This is a new concept in ActionScript 3.0, but it's
easy to do. You
just invoke the DisplayObjectContainer.addChild() method on
whatever
DisplayObjectContainer instance you want -- on whatever
object should be the
container of, in this case the text field.
As it turns out, the main timeline is an instance of the
MovieClip
class, and MovieClip inherits from DisplayObjectContainer, so
it features
that method. Assuming this code appears in a keyframe of the
main timeline,
you can get your reference with the word "this" (sans
quotes):
this.addChild(myTextField);
or you can just drop the "this," because Flash understands
that your point
of view (your "scope") is currently the timeline in which the
code appears:
addChild(myTextField);
Obviously, you can also create some objects (like text
fields) with the
drawing tools (e.g., the Text tool). In that case, you don't
need to
instantiate the object, because it's already there. But you
*do* need to
give it an instance name, which you do by selecting that
object on the Stage
and giving it a name in the Property inspector. You'll
typically do this
with movie clips, text fields, and components.
Other classes are more abstract than that. There's a Tween
class, for
example, that allows you to programmatically create tweens.
There's a
String class for creating strings.
... I could go on, and so could many of the other regulars
on this forum
(and I hope they do). But I hope that at least gives you a
start. I've got
a fairly popular blog on various Flash topics (mostly AS2,
just by
historical happenstance), but that might help you out a bit.
http://www.quip.net/blog/
If you're a book learner (I am), you'll find a number of
book books on
the topic. Just make sure to read your Amazon reviews (even
if you buy
elsewhere) and make sure you're getting a book that talks
about ActionScript
in this sort of object-oriented approach.

Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4

Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4. Unable to preregister when I ordered the new 6 in September. Now can not contact VZW recycle program regarding.

When I ordered my phone on Sept. 13th in a Verizon store, I had to ask the salesman how I went about getting the $200 rebate. He said shipping materials would come with the new phones. When I received the confirmation e-mail of my order, it contained a link for the rebate. Fortunately I clicked on the link, filled out the form online, and received the packing materials to send my phone in shortly after. My phones came in on Oct. 14th and I sent 3 of them back. So far I have received a gift card for $200 for 2 of the phones; the other is showing not received. I don't know what your situation is, but I think the promotion ended Oct. 15th. If I had listened to the salesman I think I would be out of luck as well. I hope I am wrong for your sake.

Edited by: Sudhakar Are on Jul 6, 2010 4:17 PM

Hi Pramod,
I don't know how it is done in infoset. But if you have a context node and attribute for the field which is displayed in the view, create a custom dictionary search help for the field you want. Design the search help as per your requirements (what fields to be displayed etc..).
In the context attribute of that field property, select 'Dictionary search help' in the Input help mode. Enter the name of your custom search help here.

F4 help for the screen fields in module pool program

Hi All,
I have a requirement that, i want to provide F4 help for the 2 fields in module pool program. the fields are document number and fiscal year from rbkp table.
i could provide search help for two fields.
but how to select matching fiscal year for that document number.
problem: i am getting fiscal year as first four digits of document number.
please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Namratha.V

Hi,
If your requirement is after selecting the document no from f4 help then the corresponding year should be updated in the document year field then use FM --> DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE
In this function module pass the screen no program & field for which u want to update value

Providing F4 help for the same field on selection screen

Hello Experts,
My requirement is :
There are 2 radio buttons and a parameter "p_file" on my selection scree.
1. rb_appl
2. rb_pres
If the radio button rb_appl = 'X', I need to place the logic of F4 help of application server for the field p_file. Else if the rb_pres = 'X', then I need to place the logic of F4 help of presentation server for the same field p_file.
I have written the code in the below manner
PARAMETERS: rb_appl RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad DEFAULT 'X',
                         rb_pres RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad ,
                         p_file   TYPE ibipparms-path.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
IF rb_appl = 'X'.
      PERFORM f_applictn_server_filenm.
ELSEIF rb_pres = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_presentation_filenm.
ENDIF.
But I am getting the F4 help for only the radio button for which i have placed the default value in the parameters.
So please let me know how to define the F4 help for the same field based on the radio buttons.

Hi,
You can acheive the same by the addition of [USER-COMMAND fcode].
RADIOBUTTON GROUP group [USER-COMMAND fcode] - The addition USER-COMMAND can be used to assign a function code fcode to the first parameter in a radio button group. The function code fcode must be specified directly, and have a maximum length of 20 characters. When the user selects any radio button of the radio button group on the selection screen, the runtime environment triggers the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN and transfers the function code fcode to the component ucomm of the interface work area sscrfields.
So you code should be altered as
PARAMETERS: rb_appl RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad
                     USER-COMMAND radclick    "Addition which you have to make.
                     DEFAULT 'X',
            rb_pres RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad ,
            p_file   TYPE ibipparms-path.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
IF rb_appl = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_applictn_server_filenm.
ELSEIF rb_pres = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_presentation_filenm.
ENDIF.

Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.

Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.
Currently I have an original AppleTV with audio RCA plugs to mini plug into my BOSE speakers.
The 2nd Gen AppleTv has a Toslink input. I've looked at cables of Toslink to optical mini. Will this cable work? The optical mini part I'm not sure of what it is.
Thanks so much. The monitor I use doesn't have speakers.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to connect your Apple TV2 to your Bose system using a mini plug.
You will need an optical to digital coax RCA converter (find it on Ebay about $15), then you can connect your mini cable. Here is a link to one I recently bought on Ebay: http://fwd4.me/nrQ

Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 Production

Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 is now available on OTN Downloads.
Oracle Help for the Web (OHW) 2.0 is a major update to the previous releases OHW 1.1x and OHW 1.0.x, and is designed and recommended to replace both.
Some of the new features in 2.0 include the following:
Support for Bookmarking Navigator Pages
OHW 2.0 no longer uses frames to store navigational state on the webpage. Each navigator stores its complete state on the URL, allowing each page to be bookmarked. This includes TOC locations, keyword locations, and search runs. In the view topic page, the frame information is also saved, allowing a user to forward the link via email, etc to the displayed topic. In addition, if you navigate to a named anchor within a topic page, this page position is also saved and is bookmarkable.
Multiple Locale Support in a Single Instance
OHW 2.0 can now support multiple locales in the same servlet instance. After you register the helpsets in the OHW configuration file, the OHW servlet will automatically determine the best locale to use for a user request (based on browser settings and what locales are available), and display the localized helpset (along with a localized OHW chrome) to the user. This feature also means that if you navigate to a topic in English, and then send the link via email to a user whose browser supports Japanese, if the Japanese helpset is registered, the topic link will appear in Japanese to the second user.
Search Engine Support
OHW has been specially designed so that search engine crawlers can reach all hosted content (including table of contents, and index pages) and easily traverse within and between the available navigators. Page titles have also been redesigned to make pages easier to locate from within a search engine result set.
Ability to Share Resources Across Localized Helpsets
OHW can be configured so that helpsets can share resources such as images and CSS stylesheets. Since each localized helpset no longer needs its own resources, this can dramatically reduce the size of the deployed file.
Relative Content Locations
Content locations can now be specified relative to the OHW configuration file.
True Popup Support
OHW now properly supports Oracle Help popup links. Following this link will bring up a dynamic draggable DHTML window (or a normal popup window if the browser does not support it) with the requested topic page.
All Level Merging in the Table of Contents
Using the default TOC engines, each level of the TOC will merge like elements together. This change reflects modifications made to core Oracle Help classes and mimics the feature added to Oracle Help for Java (OHJ).
New Tree-based Table of Contents Navigator
The Tree-based TOC navigator shows the data in a heirarchical fashion and allows the user to see the full TOC (and not just a limited part of the TOC, as with previous versions of OHW). The tree-based TOC navigator is a standard navigator and can be added by including it in the helpset configuration file.

Yes, I am now able to access this page and download OHW.
Thanks very much,
Lucie
