Newbie needs help with passing variables or creating flash object based on parameters

Hello Community,
I'm an amateur developer of Ms Access databases. In one of my applications I want to visualize the options available when reaching a certain score.
What I'd like to get from this trial period, is a flash animation of a dartboard. Depending on an array of variables that provides the fill color (or reference thereof) the layers of the flash object will be dynamicly created, altered, or switched. The dartboard itself remains "static". I'm hoping to use 9 colors.
I can manipulate the array any way needed. I can provide XML coding to pass the array variables. I'm just too new and untrained to incorporate this in a Edge animation or Dreamweaver.
There is no need for interaction, once the object is created (ie no user feedback).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
thanks in advance,
Jay from Stockholm

Hi,
I see you're using System.Data.OracleClient (which has been deprecated by MS) rather than Oracle.DataAccess.Client, but this works for me with Oracle's ODP, maybe it will help.
Cheers,
Greg
using System;
using System.Data;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;

        using(OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection("user id=scott;password=tiger;data source=orcl"))
            con.Open();
            using(OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("select ename from emp where ename = :1", con))
                cmd.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("myename", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 50)).Value = "KING";
                OracleDataAdapter da = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd);
                DataSet ds = new DataSet();
                da.Fill(ds);
                foreach (DataRow row in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
                    Console.WriteLine("ename: {0}", row["ename"]);

  • Need help with accesing variable with xpath.

    Hi All,
    I need help with xpath in "Switch" BPEL construct. Switch is used to compare value assigned to output vairable and follow one path for "Deny" and another for "Approve". The following is data type for output variable.
    <element name="processResponse">
         <complexType>
              <sequence>
                   <element name="result" type="string"/>
              <sequence>
         <complexType>
    </element>
    The following expressions in Switch statement throw lava.lang.Exception. It error is xpath internal error".
    x20:compare('Deny',$outputvariable.payload/client:result)
    x20:compare('Deny',bpws:getVariableData('outputvariable','payload','/client:processResponse/client:result')
    It works with x20:compare('Deny','Deny'). So I assumed it must be accessing the variable.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Satish

    Cany you try the following
    x20:compare('Deny',string($outputvariable.payload/client:result))
    x20:compare('Deny',string(bpws:getVariableData('outputvariable','payload','/client:processResponse/client:result'))

  • 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.

  • 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 a variable

    I ahve a report that I want to show Free to Sell stock - stock that is in the warehouse that hasn't been allocated.
    I have created a variable called Freestock which basically uses a Physical Stock quantity minus the allocated stock quantity. 
    It is currently just adding all the figures together, instead of splitting it by item, so this is wrong
    Here's the formula I'm using ;
    =Sum(<Warehouse Physical Quantity>-<Outstanding Allocated Quantity>)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated in getting this sorted
    Thanks in advance

    George,
    I am sure the formula is correct.
    It is currently just adding all the figures together, instead of splitting it by item,
    You need to pull this variable with the item object. it will automatically break the number by the Item.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Need help with pass/fail expression​.

    I've got an array of strings parameter called Parameters.CAN_Switch_Channel_Name[0] (equal to a string) which gets passed into a subsequence.  During run time when this subsequence gets called, a new parameter gets created which gets named the string which is passed in through Parameters.CAN_Switch_Channel_Name[0].  So for instance if Parameters.CAN_Switch_Channel_Name[0] is equal to CC_VS_Spd.CC_Set_Switch, then a parameter will get created at run time called: Parameters.CC_VS_Spd.CC_Set_Switch.  I want to create a pass/fail expression to check the new parameter.  I am not sure how to build the expression.  I tried:
    Parameters."Parameters.CAN_Switch_Channel_Name[0]"​  This didn't work!
    Parameters.(Parameters.CAN_Switch_Channel_Name[0])​  This didn't work either!
    I need a way of pulling out the value in Parameters.CAN_Switch_Channel_Name[0] and appending it to Parameters. to reference the parameter created at run time.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I read this a few times now, and just when I think I got ......
    In your SubSequence you have a parameter which is called CAN_Switch_Channel_Name[] which is an array of strings.
    Now do you wish to change the Name of this string array from CAN_Switch_Channel_Name to CC_VS_Spd.CC_Set_Switch or is it that the contains of the array is set to eg
    CAN_Switch_Channel_Name[0] = "CAN_Switch_Channel_Name to CC_VS_Spd.CC_Set_Switch"
    and is this done in the Sequence or before the sequence ist called.
    Maybe a small example of what you are trying to achive, even if its not working may help.

  • 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!)

  • Need help with maintaining variable choices in new session

    I have a flash app. set up with several variables. Is there a
    simple action script that will allow the user to maintain their
    choices after closing the .swf and re-launching it?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    how are you checking if those components have been checked or
    ticked. actually, i probably don't want to know that.
    you really should be using a listener to detect when your
    components have changed and then you can use the changed method to
    set your variables and update your sharedobject.

  • 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.

  • Need help with passing a variable in a function

    Hello. I am working on a Flash app that needs to play videos. I have code using netstream that works great for one movie. The problem is I have 3 movies I want to play and I need to figure out how to replace the string variable with the correct path info depending on what button is pushed. I'm thinking this needs to be an array which I have coded but it is not working. Here is the code:
    var buttonArray:Array = [chamber.btnV01,chamber.btnV02];
    var strSource:Array = ["HiFlow_Conventional_4.mp4","Tool_Less_5.mp4"];
    trace (buttonArray)
    for (var i:int = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++) {
    buttonArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClicked);
    function playClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
    // check's, if the flv has already begun
    // to download. if so, resume playback, else
    // load the file
    if(!bolLoaded) {
    var clickedIndex:int = buttonArray.indexOf(event.currentTarget);
    nsStream.play(strSource[clickedIndex]);
    bolLoaded = true;
    trace (strSource)
    else{
    nsStream.resume();
    This is just set for two buttons for testing. I keep getting the "1120: Access of undefined property event." right at the "nsStream.play(strSource[clickedIndex]);" line. The variable strSource is what I am trying to pass different movie paths into, but I am having no luck. Am setting this up right or is there another way to do this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
    -Shawn

    use:
    var buttonArray:Array = [chamber.btnV01,chamber.btnV02];
    var strSource:Array = ["HiFlow_Conventional_4.mp4","Tool_Less_5.mp4"];
    trace (buttonArray)
    for (var i:int = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++) {
    buttonArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClicked);
    function playClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
    // check's, if the flv has already begun
    // to download. if so, resume playback, else
    // load the file
    if(!bolLoaded) {
    var clickedIndex:int = buttonArray.indexOf(e.currentTarget);

  • Task Scheduling Script - Need help with passing the scheduled command (variables are not being evaluated)

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm trying to get a simple task scheduler script to work for me and can't get the command I need passed to the scheduler to evaluate properly.
    Here's the script:
    ###Create a new task running $Command and execute it Daily at 6am.
    $TaskName = Read-Host 'What would you like this job to be named?'
    $Proto = Read-Host 'What is the protocol? (FTP/FTPS/SFTP)'
    $User = Read-Host 'What is the user name?'
    $Pwd = Read-Host 'What is the password?'
    $Server = Read-Host 'What is the server address?'
    $NetworkDir = Read-Host 'Please input the network location of the file(s) you wish to send. Refer to documentation for more details.'
    $RemoteDir = Read-Host 'Please input the REMOTE directory to which you will upload your files. If there is none please input a slash'
    $Command = 'winscp.com /command "option batch abort" "option confirm off" "open $Proto://$User:$Pwd@$Server" "put $NetworkDir $RemoteDir" "exit"'
    $TaskAction = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "$Command"
    $TaskTrigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At 6am
    Register-ScheduledTask -Action $TaskAction -Trigger $Tasktrigger -TaskName "$TaskName" -User "Administrator" -RunLevel Highest
    Write-Host "$TaskName created to run Daily at $TaskStartTime"
    What's messing up is the $Command creation, the command needs to have the quotes around "option blah blah", but if I wrap the whole line in single quotes the variables that are evaluated for the "open blah blah" strings (which also need
    to be inside quotes) and the "put blah blah" string are not being evaluated properly.
    I've dorked about with different bracketing and quoting but can't nail the syntax down, could someone point me in the right direction? My Google-fu seems to be lacking when it comes to nailing down this issue.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Grant
