Multiple consecutive FLVs
I have been asked to look in to a video based flash
interface. The basic idea is that four figures walk on to the stage
and then settle in to loops until the user clicks one. The selected
figure then steps forward and delivers a short speech to camera
while the other figures step back out of the frame.
The figures will all be against a plane white background and
has been suggested that we could shoot this as four separate clips
to make the looping part easier (we will have fairly limited time
with each subject and they will not be actors).
My question is this:
Is it possible to load four individual FLVs, make them start
playing at the same time and then play through together?
My gut feeling is that there are gonna be syncing issues due
to variable download speeds and bandwidths and other unknowns but I
have little experience of using video this way and would appreciate
any comments or advice on the subject.
Cheers everyone

How do I replace multiple consecutive spaces with a single space?
I need to convert any occurrence of multiple consecutive spaces in a string to a single space. How do I create the regex pattern to do that?

Sorry, more like: String test = "Some Text Here"Want to convert to String test = "Some Text Here"
Post the code that you used to test the regex. I just tried it and it worked fine for me. All you need to do is apply the regex replaceall to your string variable that holds the string
String test = "Some Text Here";
test = test.replaceAll(" +", " ");
System.out.println(test);And thats it. -
Loading multiple consecutive .swf files in Flash 8
I have a question and hope that someone may be able to help;
this might be a piece of cake for you...
I have a container .fla movie and would like to load
consecutive external .swf files. Right now I have a play button
triggering the loading of the next movie, but what I would REALLY
like is a smooth transition from .swf to .swf using a listener so
that the next .swf will load once the previous one has finished. I
have a counter which determines the next .swf in order.
So far, my code is this:
Counter:
stop();
//SETUP OUR COUNTER
var mcCounter:Number = 0;
//THIS BLOCK IS ONLY TO HANDLE THE LOADER AND THE FIRST
MOVIE, movie0.swf
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadListener
bject = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(loadListener);
myMCL.loadClip("movie" + mcCounter + ".swf", 6);
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function():Void {
_level0.play();
//-------------------------<CLIP
LOADERS>------------------------------\\
function loadNextClip():Void {
if(mcCounter < 6) {
mcCounter++;
var nextMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
nextMCL.addListener(this);
nextMCL.loadClip("movie" + mcCounter + ".swf",6);
//LOADS PREVIOUS CLIP , WON"T GO PAST ZERO
function loadPrevClip():Void {
if(mcCounter > 0) {
mcCounter--;
var prevMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
prevMCL.addListener(this);
prevMCL.loadClip("movie" + mcCounter + ".swf",6);
//-------------------------</CLIP
LOADERS>------------------------------\\
Any suggestions? I appreciate ANY help you can offer. I have
been unsuccessfully looking for hours online, and can't find any
examples, although it doesn't seem as if it should be the hardest
thing in the world.
Thanks!You need a monitor to know when one movie clip has completed
play. A simple
monitor could be adding onEnterFrame handler to the
container_mc when
MovieClipLoader onComplete or onInit is fired. In that
handler a test to see
when the loaded clip's _currentframe == the loaded clip"s
_totaframes.
Ex:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
container_mc._x = 0;
container_mc._y = 0;
var swfNumber:Number = 0;
var swfNumberMax:Number = 25;
var swfNamePrefix = "MovieClipLoaderDetectEndOfPlay_Movie";
var mclListener
bject = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
target_mc.startTimer = getTimer();
mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
target_mc.completeTimer = getTimer();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
var timerMS:Number = target_mc.completeTimer -
target_mc.startTimer;
target_mc.play();
target_mc.onEnterFrame = function()
trace(this._currentframe)
if (this._currentframe == this._totalframes)
trace("Load Next Swf")
loadNextSwf()
var container_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
container_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
function loadNextSwf()
swfNumber++;
if (swfNumber <= swfNumberMax)
var swfSuffix = ((swfNumber<10)?"0" :"") + swfNumber;
container_mcl.loadClip(swfNamePrefix + swfSuffix + ".swf",
container_mc);
loadNextSwf()

HELP: Multiple Consecutive Numbering per Page - Multiple Pages
I am working with an 8.5" x 11" InDesign document that has eight 4.25" x 2.75" "coupons" per page - see sample below.
Each coupon will need to be automatically and consecutively numbered 00001-00008 on page 1, 00009-00016 on page 2, etc. prior to printing and cutting into eight individual coupons. I know I can do this manually, but I would rather not since there may end up being dozens of pages.
My questions...
- Is this possible?
- If so, how can this be done using InDesign?
I appreciate any help!There may be a better way to do this but this will work:
1. Set up your doc as a single page (unselect facing pages)
2. Go to the master page and place your coupons.
3. Create 2 columns and adjust your margins and gutter so the columns are the width of the text containing your numbers and in the exact postion. - These columns and margins will be un-usual looking.
4. Using 6 sets of sample numbers with a return at the end on each one, set 3 in one column and 3 with the 2 frames threaded.
5. Create a para style and adjust the space after each paragraph so the text in each column lands on the right spot on each coupon
You doc should be set up. Delete text and go to first page
6. In Excel or similar create a column (not row) with numbers you need and copy
7. Place text in first column on P1, select all the text (Ctr/Cmd A) and apply paragraph style you created - the 3 numbers should be in correct position
8. Click on red + sign, and, holding down Shift, thread remaining text into 2nd column - the text will flow into that column and create all the extra pages for the rest of yur numbers .

Multiple Consecutive Popup Dialogs
Hi,
I am having a poblem with the following code;
package com.innsite.inntouch;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class TestApplet extends JApplet{
public TestApplet() {
super();
validateForm();
public boolean validateForm() {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,
"Eggs aren't supposed to be green.");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,
"they should be red.",
"Inane warning",
JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
return(false);
}This lilttle example is fine unless the browser is running is 'kiosk' mode. In kiosk mode (can be achieved by pressing F11 on IE) the second popup momentarily displays then jumps to the back of the browser.
Is this a bug?
I am running Windows XP with JRE 1.4.2_08 and IE 6.0
Thanks for replies.Hey guys,
Do you have a code example for me please?
I am using the popup for a piece of code that takes some time
to run.. and when its done running i remove the popup. But when i
run the script again, my popup doesn't appear. :(
Here the code i use:
private var pop2:Canvaspopup;
public function imageSelected(event:Event):void // i cum
here on the select event from a file dialog box.
trace(pop2);
if(pop2!=null)
pop2=null;
pop2=new Canvaspopup();
pop2 =
Canvaspopup(PopUpManager.createPopUp(Application.application as
Sprite,Canvaspopup,true));
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(pop2);
// here i do some image stuff like use a loader for the
selected image
public function handleImageComplete(event:Event):void //when
the loader is complete i cum here
// do some image resizing and saving
PopUpManager.removePopUp(pop2);
pop2=null;

Fading transition between multiple streaming flv files
I am currently accomplishing this by switching between two NetStream, NetConnection, VideoPlayer combinations. The problem is that it is considerably cumbersome. Is there a better (easier) way of doing this? I looked into the play2() method, but it doesn't seem to have any way of overlapping the streams to create a seemless fade-in/fade-out.
Thanks for any help.There is 1-to-1 relationship between NetStream and Video it is played in. So, seamlessness/smooth transitions (however you define it) cannot be achieved with the same NetStream.
play2() is designed for dynamic streaming of the same asset encoded at different bit rates from FMS. -
Multiple EEM consecutive policy of processing a single event
Hi!
Please help me understand.
I do not quite understand the algorithm of MULTIPLE CONSECUTIVE policies are processed the SAME event.
As happens so that a policy ends and the other is called?
As ONE policy is activated understandable. It ends with some "exit status" which affects the execution of "default action".
But as a start for the first second policy and what is the relationship between "exit status" and "entry status"?
This is the same and "exit status" stored in _entry_status system variable, after execution first policy,
and then verified by a second policy the of "entry status"?Exactly Joseph!
I agree with you and checked.
But here is what is written in the documentation:
"sync (Mandatory)
A “yes” means that the policy (the event publish) will
run synchronously with the CLI command; a “no” means that the
event publish will be performed asynchronously with the CLI
command. The event detector will be notified when the policy
completes running. The exit status of the policy indicates whether
or not the CLI command should be executed: if the exit status is
zero, which means that the policy is executed successfully, the CLI
command will not be executed; otherwise, the CLI command will be
executed."
"Exit status" no effect in async mode, policies and cli command are executed independently.
It would be correct to replace the words synchronously and asynchronously,
replaced by an regardless and independly of the EEM policy.
Thanks! -

Replacing multiple spaces with a single space
Hi friends,
I have a string. It can have zero/one/multiple spaces. I want to make the multiple spaces to single space.

Both REPLACE and TRANSLATE do not help. I don't want to go for LOOP logic. Please help me to get it in SQL query.

This site is doing exactly what you want the function to do: it replaces multiple consecutive spaces with a single space. As a result, it's hard to see what you mean.
To preserve spacing on this site, type these 6 characters
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section where you want spacing preserved.
2. ' a b c d e f g h ' should be changed to 'a b c d e f g h'
3. 'a b c d e f g h' should not be changed
4. 'abcdefgh' should not be changed

Thanks in advance!Regular expressions make this easy:SELECT TRIM ( REGEXP_REPLACE ( str

) AS compressed_str
FROM table_x;
You can use nested REPLACE calls to get the same results, but it's messy.

How to select multiple files with Trackpad
I am new to Mac and to the Trackpad. I apologize if this has been posted.
When I work on a Windows PC, if I want to select multiple consecutive files I can click on the first file, press and hold SHIFT and then select the last file and all files in between are selected.
I tried that using the Trackpad and it doesn't seem to work the same way. Is there another key combination? I can select multiple files by either using SHIFT (on Picasa website for example) and then tap or by holding COMMAND and then tap each individual file. But how do I select multiple files similar to Windows, clicking first file pressing a key and clicking the last file.
Thanks in advance for any input on this.If you choose 'view as list', you can use the shift-key. Select an item, press the shift-key while you press an item below and all the items between are selected.

Selecting multiple files with mouse now wonky
Using Windows 8.1 on HP machine
All updates up-to-date
Hardware: Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0
Explorer Folder Option selected: Single-click to open an item (point to select); Underline icon titles only when I point on them
Display: Detail list (Ctrl + Shift + 6)
No touch input
Here's the problem: For as long as I have used windows, I can select multiple files by pressing ctrl-left mouse button. If I want to select multiple consecutive files, I move my cursor down to the last file in the list and press shift-left mouse button.
If I want to select multiple files that are not listed consecutively, I move my cursor along the list of files and press ctrl-left mouse button to select each individual file.
This does not work for me any longer and I do not know why.
Often I will press ctrl-left mouse click and the file will not select. When I move my mouse away from the file I've selected, it will UN-select. If I continue to press the CTRL key while attempting to select another file and float my mouse cursor down the
list of files to select ONE single file further in the list, ALL the files in between the first file I click and the final file will become selected.
Moving the mouse cursor carefully and steadily to select individual files yields varied results; sometimes I can select individual files; sometimes, I can click multiple times to select an additional file and the file will not become selected. More often
than not, I will select several files and earlier files will become unselected.
Extremely frustrating.
I have been a Windows user since version 3.1 and this has never happened to me. I have been a Windows 8.1 user for over a year now and this is a new wrinkle. I have done system restore multiple times and it has not solved the problem. I have uninstalled
Intellipoint/Microsoft Keyboard & Mouse center and reinstalled and the problem has not solved. I have checked every setting for my mouse in the mouse center and cannot see a setting that imposes this feature.
Changing folder options to Double-click to open an item (single click to select) solves the problem. I am able to navigate and organize my files the way I always have. Only happens when single-click feature is enabled. Please note: I have been using the
single-click select feature since Windows XP.
Your guidance and actual solution to this irritant is appreciated.Hi,
During my test, I cannot repro this issue even I configure the same setting with you. Maybe a hardware issue or software issue.
Does this issue happen to other mouse?
Can you test in safe mode to check how it works?

From RSS into multiple sql statements
Hi all, I'm trying to import RSS into my database for this I
created an XSLT
stylesheet that transforms the XML into a series of SQL
statements like
below
INSERT INTO rss_feed(feed_title,feed_link,feed_description)
VALUES('','
http://...','');
SELECT @feed_id := MAX(feed_id) FROM rss_feed;
INSERT INTO
rss_channel(feed_id,channel_title,channel_link,channel_description,channel_language,chann el_copyright,channel_managingeditor,channel_webmaster,channel_pubdate,channel_lastbuilddat e,channel_generator,channel_docs,channel_cloud,channel_ttl,channel_image,channel_rating,ch annel_skiphours,channel_skipdays)
VALUES(@feed_id,'...','...','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','');
SELECT @channel_id := MAX(channel_id) FROM rss_channel;
INSERT INTO
rss_item(channel_id,item_title,item_link,item_description,item_author,item_comments,item_ guid,item_pubdate)
VALUES(@channel_id,'...','','...','Joris van Lier','','','');
SELECT @item_id := MAX(item_id) FROM rss_item;
INSERT INTO
rss_enclosure(item_id,enclosure_url,enclosure_type,enclosure_length)
VALUES(@item_id,'
http://...','...','...');
My problem is: I can pipe this into a command-line sql
session but when
executing it from PHP it gives me a sql syntax error, running
the statements
separately does not preserve the needed context with the
foreign key
variables.
Second problem: how do I select the last inserted id in

There's no mysqli support on this server, phpMyAdmin has an
internal parser
that splits the queries and tries to handle delimiters in
strings, and then
uses mysql_unbuffered_query or mysql_query, so it seems that
using one of
these functions with multiple consecutive queries preserves
the context of
the previous query.
Using explode will split strings that contain a semicolon,
I'm now trying
to escape the semicolons in strings to avoid writing my own
parser, so far
I've been thinking about HEXing them, but hexing complete
input will
seriously hurt my ability to read the queries, the
alternative CONCAT('foo',
0x3b, 'bar') still isn't pretty.
Do you know if it's possible to embed hexed characters into
strings (without
introducing a semicolon)?

How can I delete more than one Email (but not ALL) at once in the new Mail program?
In OS X 10.7 it was possible to just right click an email and then scroll down or up to delete i.e. 10 Emails at once. But in OS X 10.8 this doesn't work anymore. I have to delete one mail after the other which is exhausting after a while and with a lot of emails! But I don't want to delete all of them (would be too easy with CTRL-A and then Return) just a few. Any ideas? I didn't find it out yet and I want it the easy Mac-Way and not the complicated Windows-way
Thanks for any inout on that!!You can now double-click and drag down the list of emails to select multiple, consecutive messages to delete.
For non-consecutive messages, command-click on the ones you want to delete. -
