Newbie needs help with Flex app

Hi there. I am very new to Flex and also fairly new to
programming although I do have a little experience.
I am trying to create an app which stores code snippets or
common text I tend to use every day in my documents and emails.
So basically I need help on a design level. I can refer to
the developer's manual for exact instructions for commands, but I
need to know what to code first.
The app will consist of:
-a tree directory structure where I can create groups.
-There will be a basic text editor where I input all my data,
basic text formatting options (font, bullets etc) would be a bonus.
-A search function
-Finally it will ideally allow multiple client apps write to
a central database file over a network
Can anyone suggest how I should approach such a project?
Or are there any tutorials / source files which demonstrate
each bullet point?
thanks.

Hey jono,
I'm new too. But I think I might know the right components.
If you google any of these + flex 3 you should get some
decent documentation
tree - advanced dataGrid component
basic text editor - rich text editor component
search function - well, you're gonna need to read up on
arrays, and arraycollection. Once you get that stuff working, you
can write up a function to search for a string in an array.
network functionality - HTTPService, you can dump the
datagrid into a database, and have it load the database when you
open up the application.
Give these things a shot, tutorials / sources will come with
the google searches.

  • Newbie needs help with browser compatibility

    Ok, so I'm new at this, so this may be something really
    simple, but browser compatibility? I made a site in DW;html and it
    shows up perfect in safari but internet explorer and firefox not so
    much. I did a browser compatibility test in DW and it says nothing
    is wrong with my pages, but obviously something must be!!
    On my home page, the image of a house that I have next to the
    company name shows up fine in safari but not any other browsers.
    And my page layout, everything is moved over funny in other
    browsers. Also there are link boxes around the table I created with
    different brands of products. On safari the boxes do not show, but
    all the other browsers it does!! I'm new at this and frustrated!!!
    Need help!!
    The link is holmeshifi.com and I posted code from the home
    page!

    OK thanks Ned sorry to soo dumb I'm on a learning curve here!  what 
    I'm trying to do is go to the URLs of web galleries of images from my 
    main site
    so I would presumably have to rename them on my server? i.e. does that 
    mean adding the code ", "_blank");
    to the files on the server?
    At the moment I have to use the back button on my browser window which
    takes me back to the main site which then has to reload (tediously!)

  • MSI P67A-C45 (B3) Newb needs Help with connections..

    Hi all..
    First time posting here, but have been in the shadows for quite a while..   
    Anyway, i decided to finally take the plunge, and build my own PC, and now i'm beginning to hit a few bumps.
    I have a couple of questions that i would like some help with, if possible to reassure myself i may be in the right direction..
    I bought THIS PSU and was hoping someone could tell me where the Blue connectors (one labelled CP and one labelled U1) Connect to?
    Is it into JPWR2? And does it/do they only connect in the correct way? (Do i remove the plastic cap and attach both?
    and i bought THIS VIDEO/GRAPHICS CARD and i'm guessing the RED "PCI express" and "SLI ready" connect to that somehow (Haven't opened box yet for card)
    Again, wondering is there a certain way for them to connect.
    Also, from my chassis, the "AC '97" and "HDA" connectors go to JAUD (I guess), does it matter which one? (I currently have "HDA" connected)
    I have i5 2500k already on board. (If that makes a difference).

    Quote from: Ben_Cartwright on 26-May-11, 22:05:35
    Do the Audio plugs go into JAUD? and does it matter which one?
    Yep, connect the front panel audio to the JAUD. If you need the pin layout, it says in the manual. I would say the HDA connector is the one to connect.
    Quote from: Ben_Cartwright on 26-May-11, 22:05:35
    Any recommendations for testing it all, before i plug it in, and press the power?
    Should i (Can i) test individual parts first?
    Thanks again.
    Check all power connections, seating of the RAM and add-on cards, check the HSF is plugged into the fan header, and obvious things like that.
    As for testing, enter the BIOS and make sure the CPU isn't running too hot. Set up the RAM with the required timings and voltage, and test with >>Memtest86<< for several hours. No point starting the Windows installation if say your RAM has errors, since it will corrupt files during the install, if it installs at all.

  • Crypto newb: Need help with encrypting data for offline Swing app

    Hi all,
    I'm VERY new to cryptography. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I've created a Swing application that is intended to be used offline (no network connections are established by the app). I need to export XML files from this application, to be transported via floppy to another instance of the application on a different computer for import. The information is sensitive and must be encrypted!
    I started looking into AES and using asymmetric ciphers (public/private key encryption). But then I realized that if Jane is exporting a file for Bob to view, she won't have access to Bob's public key (no network access). Ugghh!
    I noticed another solution in this forum where the person suggested using password encryption. It was an old post and I think it used DES. Anyway, password encryption doesn't seem too secure.
    So, I thought I'd create a symmetic key (correct term?) once, store it in the program directory, and distribute it with the application installer. That way, everyone would have the same key and would be able to encrypt/decrypt each others files. Right? Err... I'm not sure.
    Like I said, I'm a newb at crypto. If someone could suggest the best/most secure way to accomplish this, I would be eternally grateful.
    PLEASE HELP!!! :-D
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, Grant. I must've posted that last one just
    after your response. I was intending the message to
    be for Anand. Heh - you have no idea how many times I've done the same thing. It's an artifact of the asynchronous nature of message boards.
    Your response is very helpful. Out of
    curiosity, does my last post provide any more insight
    that would change your mind? Or do you still believe
    that using password encryption and letting the user
    choose/provide the password is the best solution?Well, as you noted, giving everyone two sets of keypairs is semantically equivalent to giving everyone a single symmetric key. And, as I've noted, it's completely INsecure - everyone who gets access to an install disk, either legitimately or no, can read every transmission your app makes forever after. Cryptographically speaking, this is Not A Good Thing.
    The advantage of PBE is that it's easy for your users to exchange keys when their machines can't see each other. The real key here is that your app, if you really want it to be secure, MUST allow/require that transmission between Alice and Bob use a different key than that between Alice and Carlos or Bob and Carlos - otherwise, if Eve compromises any user of your software, ALL users are compromised.
    I'd go with PBE, just because other alternatives are painful for your end users. You could use generated KeyPairs, for example, if you provide a means for users to exchange public keys. If you display Bob's public key in encoded, String-able form, then Bob can either email that to Alice or read it off to her over the phone. Into your app Alice loads/types in that public key, and the app now knows how to secure communications with Bob.
    Public keys are large, though, and people screw them up typing them in. And many users have TERRIBLE key discipline - if Bob loses access to his private key, he can't read anything Alice sends. And if his private key is readable on some public shared folder (which happens with a totally-frightening regularity), then we're back to no security at all.
    Use one of the triple-DES PBE Ciphers, and get on with making your app do what you really want it to do, would be my advice. (Free advice, of course, being worth every penny you pay!)
    Once again, thanks a bunch!Glad to help.

  • I need help with downloading apps?

    I got an iPad 2 today and I entered all my details in and also my bank details in, but then it's saying to me to enter 'security code' in? And I don't know what it is. I have realised that a lot of people are having this problem and it obviously needs to be sorted? Please help me?????

    Thanks for your responses but when I go on app store and then on featured, I press 'free app' and then it says 'install app' and then I click on 'use existing apple id' - so then I enter my username and password, then all my bank details ans everything else, there all correct but then it comes up with... 'your payment method was declined, please enter another payment method' - all I want is FREE apps, no paid ones? Is there anyway I could get around this? - I have noticed a lot of people are having this problem HELPPPPP lol x

  • Newbie need help with Web BEx setup!

    Out of curiosity, I decided to install Netweaver so I can have a play with it. I am a complete newbie to Netweaver therefore I apologise if this is out of context...
    Here's my question:
    How do one go about getting Web BEx to work?
    Whenever I activate the link in the portal, I get an error about unknown "SWITCH_AXES" command and 0ANALYSIS type 4 error. I search the forum and the few passing mentions of the problem points to OSS notes that is only accessible through service marketplace (which I don't have an ID). I have check the object types in BI content and seems that 0ANALYSIS is already activated. There must be something I am missing. Tried blindly and randomly installed other BI content (mostly Web templates and objects) but to no avail (and encounted a few short dumps).
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    So far, here're what I did:
    1) Install Netweaver 2004S ABAP and Java on the same machine. Instance 00, 01 and 02 respectively.
    2) Try to run BI-Java template installer, but met with error part way. So some of the steps are done manually.
    3) Set up SLD (both instance are in the landscape), and 'partially' set up SSO. Partially as while JAVA to ABAP seems to work, ABAP to JAVA is not working. Anoying but livable.
    4) Installed TREX (instance 03) and are seen by ABAP and JAVA.
    5) ABAP is seen in the portal and I can create transactional iviews and put them in the Portal (with working SSO).
    6) Did reverse-proxying with Apache, but I don't think it matters as it seems to be a backend module issue.
    7) Business planning/wizard is working (in ABAP and Portal) as is Broadcast. As you can see, Web BEx is the only thing that is not working

    The default link for Web Analyser in EP 7 seems to point to the new template. When opening the analysis template in the new BEx windows tool, the same error is being reported. Using 3.5.x WAD, I can't locate the template.
    More on this issue Although for that case, the meta data is not installed. Is there a way to trace missing component and reinstall the needed BI content in RSA1?
    BTW, these are on JAVA SP9 and ABAP SP11.

  • Newb needs help with dynamic text

    Hi Everyone,
    I don't like being a newb - but that's how it is...
    I'm trying to create a multipage registration form that
    allows uses to register products.
    The first page asks for name etc, and on the second page I
    want it to say "Welcome "+username "!" - that sort of thing...
    The problem is I can't get it to keep the dynamic text values
    accross the pages.
    I can get it to repeat the input on the first page with this
    code:
    _root.firstname_txt.onChanged = function() {
    _root.firstname_repeat.text="Hello
    "+_root.firstname_txt.text;
    However when I call it on the second page it is undefined:
    second_repeat.text="hello "+_root.firstnamt_txt.text;
    trace (_root.second_repeat.text);
    I'm sure this is something simple and I'm just a programming
    dunce...
    Any help is appreciated.
    ta

    if your textfield (_root.firstname_repeat) doesn't exist on
    the 2nd frame, its text property will be undefined.
    to remedy, either extend your textfield's existance into the
    frames needed or use a variable to store its text property (in your
    onChanged handler) and use that variable to retrieve the value you
    need.

  • Need help with Java app for user input 5 numbers, remove dups, etc.

    I'm new to Java (only a few weeks under my belt) and struggling with an application. The project is to write an app that inputs 5 numbers between 10 and 100, not allowing duplicates, and displaying each correct number entered, using the smallest possible array to solve the problem. Output example:
    Please enter a number: 45
    Number stored.
    45
    Please enter a number: 54
    Number stored.
    45 54
    Please enter a number: 33
    Number stored.
    45 54 33
    etc.
    I've been working on this project for days, re-read the book chapter multiple times (unfortunately, the book doesn't have this type of problem as an example to steer you in the relatively general direction) and am proud that I've gotten this far. My problems are 1) I can only get one item number to input rather than a running list of the 5 values, 2) I can't figure out how to check for duplicate numbers. Any help is appreciated.
    My code is as follows:
    import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner
    public class Array
         public static void main( String args[] )
          // create Scanner to obtain input from command window
              Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in);
          // declare variables
             int array[] = new int[ 5 ]; // declare array named array
             int inputNumbers = 0; // numbers entered
          while( inputNumbers < array.length )
              // prompt for user to input a number
                System.out.print( "Please enter a number: " );
                      int numberInput = input.nextInt();
              // validate the input
                 if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
                       System.out.println("Number stored.");
                     else
                       System.out.println("Invalid number.  Please enter a number within range.");
              // checks to see if this number already exists
                    boolean number = false;
              // display array values
              for ( int counter = 0; counter < array.length; counter++ )
                 array[ counter ] = numberInput;
              // display array values
                 System.out.printf( "%d\n", array[ inputNumbers ] );
                   // increment number of entered numbers
                inputNumbers++;
    } // end close Array

    Yikes, there is a much better way to go about this that is probably within what you have already learned, but since you are a student and this is how you started, let's just concentrate on fixing what you got.
    First, as already noted by another poster, your formatting is really bad. Formatting is really important because it makes the code much more readable for you and anyone who comes along to help you or use your code. And I second that posters comment that brackets should always be used, especially for beginner programmers. Unfortunately beginner programmers often get stuck thinking that less lines of code equals better program, this is not true; even though better programmers often use far less lines of code.
                             // validate the input
       if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
              System.out.println("Number stored.");
      else
                   System.out.println("Invalid number.  Please enter a number within range."); Note the above as you have it.
                         // validate the input
                         if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
                              System.out.println("Number stored.");
                         else
                              System.out.println("Invalid number.  Please enter a number within range."); Note how much more readable just correct indentation makes.
                         // validate the input
                         if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100) {
                              System.out.println("Number stored.");
                         else {
                              System.out.println("Invalid number.  Please enter a number within range.");
                         } Note how it should be coded for a beginner coder.
    Now that it is readable, exam your code and think about what you are doing here. Do you really want to print "Number Stored" before you checked to ensure it is not a dupe? That could lead to some really confused and frustrated users, and since the main user of your program will be your teacher, that could be unhealthy for your GPA.
    Since I am not here to do your homework for you, I will just give you some advice, you only need one if statement to do this correctly, you must drop the else and fix the if. I tell you this, because as a former educator i know the first thing running through beginners minds in this situation is to just make the if statement empty, but this is a big no no and even if you do trick it into working your teacher will not be fooled nor impressed and again your GPA will suffer.
    As for the rest, you do need a for loop inside your while loop, but not where or how you have it. Inside the while loop the for loop should be used for checking for dupes, not for overwriting every entry in the array as you currently have it set up to do. And certainly not for printing every element of the array each time a new element is added as your comments lead me to suspect you were trying to do, that would get real annoying really fast again resulting in abuse of your GPA. Printing the array should be in its own for loop after the while loop, or even better in its own method.
    As for how to check for dupes, well, you obviously at least somewhat understand loops and if statements, thus you have all the tools needed, so where is the problem?

  • Oracle SQL Newbie need help with OE Demo Schema Installation

    Hello everybody !
    I'm hoping some kind soul can help out this SQL newbie.
    First of all i've installed 10g R2 database on a PC running XP SP2.
    Oracle is installed on the root C: drive
    I'm using the SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide and DBA Handbook (Both Oracle Press)
    as my reference.
    My problem is this.
    I installed the DB and created the demo HR schema without too much problem
    but it's the demo OE schema i'm having problems getting running and cannot
    find anywhere on the net that outlines a step by step SQL process.
    I am using SQL Plus to execute these commands.
    My questions are these:
    -For the default tablespace i specify "users" ?
    -What do i specify for the temporary tablespace ? "temp" ?
    -what directory path do i put for the data files as parameter 6 ?
    I put down "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\demo\schema\order_entry" but i suspect it's
    the wrong thing ?
    -What do i specify for the writable directory path for the log files ?
    Is it C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\RDBMS\log
    -And what is "Specify version as parameter 8:" line ?
    I assumed it was the db version but i believe it's wrong.
    Could somebody please help me ? I've already done my CCNA and i wanted to add oracle under my belt.
    I know if i had these few things cleared up for me it would pave the way to actually enjoying learning Oracle :)
    Thank you for any assistance :)

    I installed the DB products from the companion disk and there was no specific mention of the demo schemas. Regardless... They're all there within the demo subfolder and have already created the hr schema.. I just need somebody (I'll pay if necessary) to PLEASE just answer (what would be easy to you guys my questions so i can move on.
    this is a cap from my sql plus..

  • Need help with flex 3

    Hi all,
    I'm a newb to Flex 3 and i found it really exciting and helpful.
    However i'm facing a problem here. Apparently my Flex doesn't have some of the packages and classes. The two that i have tried and didn't work are: file.filesystem (i try to read/write on file, so i declare "var file:File as  ..." and i won't let me do it) and mx:HttpService.
    I have no idea how to install those packages and make them work so if anyone can show me the way, i would really really appreciate that.
    Thanks a lot and have a great weekend
    QP

    Update:
    I just found out the solution for mx:HttpService:
    "The HTTPService needs to be outside of the Canvas and State tags." (http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?p=831082)
    Still i haven't figure out the other problem.
    Thanks

  • Newbie needs help with MS exchange / MS Push email

    I just got an iPhone 3G a few days ago. Heretofore, all my experience has been with HTC, Motorola and Blackberry phones. As a non-technical person trying to make Pust work through my network is very confusing.
    I read the instructions / bulletins and finally made email and calendar work (sort of). It only works on WiFi and then I have to manually update mail as it does not always Push.
    Does the iPhone Push setup only work with Server 2003 / Push via WiFi? If not, can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to make it work with 3G and no WiFi?
    If possible, please be specific as I am a newbie trying to make this work for my small company.
    If I can't find a solution I'll have to get rid of this and go back to something that works.
    It seems that Apple is making it very difficult to set this phone up for Push application
    Thanks,
    Gary

    The iPhone works fine over cellular. You did mention a certificate - I am going to guess that this may be the issue.
    If you open Safari on the iPhone and connect to your OWA, do you get a warning? When you viewed the cert in IE, is it self-signed? If so you need to get it on the iPhone. The easiest way is to set up gmail or something similar on iPhone and email it to yourself.
    when it come in email your iPhone will immediately recognize it as a file that you can import it. Select it and import it, then you should be able to connect to your Outside Exchange server.

  • I need help with an app game purchase

    I recently added 20$ to my account with 2 10$ Itunes cards. I play the app called clash of clans, in the game you can buy things with itunes, I tried to make a purchase for 19.99 when there is just about 21 $ in my itunes and it's telling me I have insufficient funds. This is odd becusee a couple days ago I did the same thing with the itunes card but now I'm getting this error. I checked my itunes again and I have the money, please help!

    What country are you in ? If you are in the US then does your state's sales tax take it over what you have on your account ?

  • AE "newbie" needs help with effect - (please!)

    Hi all:
    I'm working on a highlight video of my daughter - she's the goalie for her H.S. Lacrosse team.  I recently bought the Creative Cloud subscription. I'm editing the video in Premiere Pro CC on an iMac - OSX 10.7.5.
    I'm putting together a short intro/open, and trying to add some effect to my daughter in the clip shown below.  She is running/jumping - I want to be able to isolate just her and add some sort of color effect, a glow (or even just make everything else b&w).  Obviously, my problem is with masking or roto brushing.  I've spent many hours (probably too many!) watching tutorials and reading the help articles -- and I just can't seem to get it right.  I saw a video talking about the much anticipated October update - and wondering if the new Mask Tracker will do what I need/want?
    Here is the clip - (my daughter is #11 - the only one wearing a helmet)
    Thanks in advance for any guidance/help/suggestions you can provide,
    Kim

    Thanks again for pointing me in the direction of the Motion Tracking and Rotoscoping tutorial.
    I successfully (in my opinion, anyway!) was able to apply an effect to the moving object (my daughter ).  There are a few places that I could tighten up the mask, but it's not too bad - and I just realized I forgot to feather the mask - so that will help as well.
    I tried a bunch of different effects -- but really wasn't happy with any of them.  I went ahead and just made her B&W just for illustrative purposes.
    What I'd really like to do is make the background B&W and keep her in color.
    I tried applying the B&W effect onto the footage layer -- but it seemed to make everything b&w - including my masked/rotoscoped object. I am sure that it is very simple to do -- but haven't been able to find the right instructions.
    (I looped the clip a few times - since it is only about 1.5 seconds long)..
    So - again - thanks in advance for helping me figure out how to apply the B&W to just the background!
