Very Simple Question About Animated GIF Background

Hi,
Till now I didn't realise that I don't have to copy the whole
picture into every frame, I can simply keep the "static" part as a
background, and animate only the changing object (for example, some
letters). This way the final file will be much smaller in size.
I right-click on the selection and choose Animate Selection,
but then I don't know how to arrange the animated selection and the
background static picture to achieve the desireble result.
Please advise.

Seeing your PNG file would take a lot of the guesswork out of
this, but
basically:
Put the static elements on one layer and choose to share that
layer to
frames.
Either add your animation elements to separate frames or read
up on
using animation symbols.
You can check out this list of tutorials as well, and/or post
a link to
your PNG file so we can be more detailed in our advice.

Question about animated gif

Is this possible to accomplish using only Photoshop? (without resorting to Flash etc...)
Let's say I am creating an animated gif of a simple transition from image 1 to image 2 to image 3 and back to 1 again.
Can I make all 3 images link to separate urls?

I didn't see how it was possible...thanks for the javascript site recommendation...I'll check it out!

Could this be a problem?
2 different background images defined for the same container?

and...
#topContent {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url(../images/Index.jpg);

Just a thought..........

Very simple question about webapp list layout.

Hi Everyone!
I am having a very simple issue. I have created a web app and it has a default list layout looks like:
<table><tbody><tr><td>{tag_counter}. {tag_name}</td></tr></tbody></table>
I have placed web app module (using {module_webapps,14273,a} ) in one of my page. In front-end it has show every thing fine except it shows table tag for each item:
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>1. <a href="/lot/lot-101">Castlepoint Lot 101</a></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>2. <a href="/lot/efg-lot">EFG Lot</a></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>3. <a href="/lot/some-lot">Some Lot</a></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>4. <a href="/lot/some-other-lot">Some Other Lot</a></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
When I delete table and tbody tags from list view, it stop showing table related tags instead it start showing it without any tag.
How to correct this issue? Please help!!!

Here is what you can do:
-edit the webapp list layout via FTP or via the "alpha" File Manager. The WYSIWYG editor will attempt to "correct" your HTML code. Enter something like this:
<tr>
<td>
{tag_counter}. {tag_name}
</td>
</tr>
-on the page you need the listing placed on enter this code:
<table>
<tbody>
{webappmodule here}
</tbody>
</table>
When the page renders you will get the desired result:
<table>
<tbody>
<tr><td>1</td><td>Item1</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td><td>Item2</td></tr>
<tr><td>3</td><td>Item3</td></tr>
<tr><td>4</td><td>Item4</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Very simple question about how to change a specific field in a table

Hi,
I'm working with a simple JSF web application, I have just drag a table, the "travel" standard example, and I just had 3 columns, one with a drop down list, other with a static text field and a Button.
Then I introduced the following java code in the Button:
public String button1_action() {
int quantity=Integer.parseInt(dropMenu.getValue().toString());
quantityChosen.setValue(quantity);
When the button is pressed, I can print and check that the value obtained is the one selected in the drop down list, of the respective row.
The problem that I would like to write it in the respective static text field (in the same row) where the button was pressed.
What happens is that it write the value in all the column. So it reads from the write place and then write in every column?
How to write in the respective row?
Thanks in advance, Junkeira

Very simple question about the turtle

I'm kind of new to java, and I'm currently working on a university project involving the wellknown java turtle. Does any of you know how to change the turtle into another thing, like replacing the drawing of the turtle with a jpeg for instance? (I am using Guzdials turtle class)
Thanks for helping!

Very simple question about formula EXACT

Hi,
i'm new to Numbers. Trying to use the 'exact' formulas.
It's not working, so I'm reading the help section about it...
The example is the following : =EXACT("toledo"; "toledo") should return a TRUE value.
Numbers keeps telling me I have a syntax problem... Don't know where it is...

I don't know where you are and this may be the problem.
If you are running your program on a system using the period as the decimal separator, in Numbers the operands must de separated by commas.
My guess is that your system uses the decimal period and that French is the 1st language in the International Pref pane.
EXACT() is used in the English version but this one doesn't use the semi-colon in the Help or in the insert functions tool.
It's used also in the French version which use the semi-colon in the Help and in the insert functions tool because in French (of France) the decimal separator is the comma.
The two eastern localized versions uses EXACT() too but they assumes that the decimal separator is period so the parameters are separated by comma.
If my guess is true, you may go to my iDisk:
<http://idisk.mac.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
and download:
foriWork:for_Numbers:pour_modifierNumbers.zip
which will give you the ability to change two plist files giving you an "insert function" tool inserting functions with the comma as separator matching the fact that the system uses the decimal period.

Very simple question about declaring variables

if a create a new ' int ' as in the code below :
static int counter;
does the value of counter automatically default to ' 0 ' ?
Does this also apply if i declare the var to be public, protected etc ( but not final )
thanks

Most languages will initialise an int to 0 if no value is specified but it is dangerous to rely on this as it is not always the case. It is therefore recommended as good practice that you always initialise your own variables to ensure they start with the value you wish and not something unexpected.

This is a very simple question about multi-channel audio playback

I have an mp4 file that i made and i made it 7.1 surround sound, and i'm pretty sure that this 7.1 surround sound works, as it can be played in VLC. i'm using netstream to load my files now. How do i make it so that flash can playback all 8-channels of sound? I suppose kglad would know the answer

Flash doesn't support multi-channel audio (yet?)

Very Simple question about JList

Hi,
I am newbie to Java, and I want to show a couple of items in JList Control, but it doesn't show up, anyone can help me. When I use system.out to printout the contents of the ListModel, it does tell me that those items are in it.
Thanks a lot!!!!
Code are like this:
import java.lang.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class listExample extends javax.swing.JApplet {
public void init(){
String[] data={"one", "two", "three", "four"};
jList1=new JList(data);
for(int i=0; i<jList1.getModel().getSize(); i++)
System.out.println(jList1.getModel().getElementAt(i));
public listExample() {
initComponents();
private void initComponents() {
jList1 = new javax.swing.JList();
getContentPane().add(jList1, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
// Variables declaration - do not modify
private javax.swing.JList jList1;
// End of variables declaration

The objects in your list probably don't know how to display themselves. To do this you must overload the toString method that is originally in java.lang.Object. So basically if you have an object with a String for a first name and last name, for example, you would write a toString() method that looks something like this:
public String toString() {
return firstName + " " + lastName;
When you put this object in a list the JList will use the toString method automatically to place text in teh JList object.
Hope it helps.

Very simple question about DBMS_SCHEDULER jobs

Hi,
I have a scheduled job and its repeat interval is every 30 min for all hours.
And also assume that my job is started at 11 am but it couldnt be completed till 11.30 am and it is finished at 11.45 am.
What will be the scheduled execution on 11.30 am? It will start just after previous one finished?

Create a table for testing:
SQL> create table scheduler (starttime date, endtime date);
Table created.
SQL>
Create a testing procedure:
SQL> !cat wait_a_while.sql
create or replace procedure wait_a_while(waittime IN int)as
l_starttime date;
begin
select sysdate into l_starttime from dual;
insert into scheduler (starttime) values(l_starttime);
dbms_lock.sleep(waittime);
update scheduler set endtime =(select sysdate from dual) where starttime=l_starttime;
commit;
end;
SQL>
Schedule a job every minute:
begin
   dbms_scheduler.create_job(job_name=>'wait_a_while_job',
                             job_type=>'PLSQL_BLOCK',
                             job_action=>'begin
                                            martijn.wait_a_while(120);
                                          end;',
                             start_date=>sysdate+1/(24*60),
                             repeat_interval=>'FREQ=minutely;interval=1');
   dbms_scheduler.enable('wait_a_while_job');
   commit;
end;
Let this go for a while, and query the table:
SQL> select * from scheduler order by starttime;
STARTTIME            ENDTIME
2013-DEC-14 14:59:59 2013-DEC-14 15:00:02
2013-DEC-14 15:00:24 2013-DEC-14 15:01:24
2013-DEC-14 15:33:09 2013-DEC-14 15:33:10
2013-DEC-14 15:36:40 2013-DEC-14 15:38:40
2013-DEC-14 15:38:40 2013-DEC-14 15:40:40
2013-DEC-14 15:40:40 2013-DEC-14 15:42:40
2013-DEC-14 15:42:40 2013-DEC-14 15:44:40
2013-DEC-14 15:44:40 2013-DEC-14 15:46:40
8 rows selected.
SQL>
So.....play around a little.
But I would say that the next job waits until the first job finished.
