Widget creation on Flex builder and related problems - need some help

Hi all.
I am trying to create a widget like application and it seems
I have made a mistake. As you know, desktop widgets are like small
stickers, they do not appear on taskbar and can be hidden or
docked.
The problem is that I created an AIR application using Flex
Builder 3 Beta and now I cannot find how to make that application
behave like custom-shaped window. My app appears on Windows taskbar
and I don't want it. When I drag the window (which is a custom
shape) it shows that nasty dragging rectangle around it.
As far as I found out (and tried it) I need to use cod like:
var initOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = new
NativeWindowInitOptions();
initOptions.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE;
initOptions.type = NativeWindowType.UTILITY;
to hide my window from the taskbar. But it seems I cannot use
such a code for class mx:Application. Or can I (would be grateful
for some idea)?
The main question is:
if I want to migrate my app to that NativeWindow based
solution - then NativeWindow is not an mx class and I cannot find
how I will use Flex Builder Design mode to arrange my GUI elements.
Is it somehow possible to wrap my mx:Application inside
NativeWindow and do not have to migrate the design from mxml files
to pure ActionScript?
The second issue - if I want to use some kind of subforms -
like widget settings window - when I move that window with the
mouse, it is being clipped to the region of my Application. Does
that again mean that I need to use NativeWindow for creating such a
"Widget settings" dialog window?
Thanks for any ideas (and especially for useful links and
examples :-) )

I am the biggest "Newb" on this site, and I really need some help please..

Ok, the short of it.... I started training on Database programming about 2 weeks ago. I still don't really know a thing, or even understand the concepts. Now, my boss wants me to fix a bug in Oracle, and I haven't a clue. The ONLY help I've gotten was a link to this forum, and a speech about how I need to help myself. I told him I have the same chance of fixing anything, as monkeys typing hamlet. Anyone up for a challenge?
When I go to Application System, then Application Entry and enter the password a dialog box appears.... "FRM-40039: Cannot attatch library Empower while opening from APPUSRAPP."
That's what I have to fix. I have no clue. I don't even really know how to click around in this program. Please help, someone.
UPDATE: I've been told that everyone's pretty much going to be a jerk to me for asking this, and I'm currently searching old threads and can't find a way to delete this one I posted. So, you could just ignore the post, or jump in and be the internet tough-guy and tell me what I already know.... I'm a newb.

As this appears to be a Forms error (the error begins with FRM) you might get a better response by posting this in the Forms forum:

The Community Feedback forum isn't meant for product-related questions (as it says in the title).
Still, you should consider searching Metalink as well. If you've paid for support, you have every right to use it.

Let me warn you up front: never mark your questions as urgent. People really don't care how urgent it is to you, and will likely only irritate them enough to not want to help you. Lucky for you, I couldn't care less ;)
you seem to want to get an uploaded file using FileUpload. Did you see the user guide on how to do this? You seem to be going about it in completely the wrong way.
[FileUpload user guide|http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/using.html]
Also:
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C:/Documents and Settings/Andrew Hobbs/Desktop/helloworld.txt");Hardcoded paths in your code? Not very portable is it. I would define paths in a properties file. Read this:

865pe Neo2-V problem. need some help, please

i clocked my CPU [email protected](box culer-40C idle) and i believe that i can raise FSB more but i have problem.my Kingmax(512ddr400) goes to 505 MHz, and i can't stop her. i can't put FSB/DRAM 1:1. it is allways 4:5. My old Transcend too. So it isn't memory. In BIOS i have options:
ddr - 266/333/AUTO. i have tried 333 and AUTO and DDR is 4:5. Also, i don't know where i can turn off "performance mode".
DDR modul is in slot1. I did not tryed to put him in slot2 or 3. Default timings are 2.5/3/3/7. i chosed 2.5/4/4/8.
also, when i chose "by speed", BIOS do nothing, and latencies is like before i chose "by speed" so i need to chose 2.5/4/4/8 by myself.
BIOS version is 6.1(latest)
this is my stable selection:
CPU - 3.33 GHz(18x185) - 38 C temperature now/ motherboard 29 C
DDR - 462 MHz
Thanks

my memory now runs @ 1:1 after i chose option DDR 266 and my cpu goes @3.78!!!!!!!!. excelent.

an out file. The problem is that my in file has a few lines and i do not know how to dubstrin g different linec can anyone help me?

Well,
I took the liberty of rewriting your code to make it readable, and expurgated most of the carp... what you've got there boils down to a really complicated-azzed implementation of cat.

        int len = line.length();
        String substring = line.substring(0, len);
        System.out.println(substring);
        output.println(substring);
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
      if(input!=null)try{input.close();}catch(IOException e){e.printStackTrace();}
      if(output!=null)output.close();
}The substring doesn't do anything.
Now, What did you need it to do? Print the first so-many characters of each line or something?

Multiple same artists and albums missing, need some help pleas

Hi,
I just bought a Creative Zen mp3 player and for some reason, when I edit the name and info of my songs (artist, genre, album...ect...) , my player won't pick it up properly. I can have 2 or 3 different "Beatles" under artist, yet, they are spelled EXACTLY the same way. (capital letter, space, eveything is the same)
Now I used to have the same problem with my Creative Zen V Plus but I was always able to make it work after doing some copy & paste while editing the tracks info. This time, it's not working.
My second problem is the one that really bugs me the most. When I select certain artists on my player, some of the albums are missing. Ex: I select "Beatles" in my artists list and then I'm expecting to find all the albums but there are only 2 showing. Yet, if I go in the albums list,there're all gonna be there. And?as I said, the names & different info are all spelled properly. EVERYTHING IS THE SAME ! I spend alot of time editing my tracks info because I want everything to be organised perfectly on my player and it's getting really frustrating.
Anyone has a solution? thank you so much !

I am having a very similar problem. I had the problem, was told about Media Monkey, organized everything through Media Monkey, deleted all my songs off my Zen X-Fi 6GB and reloaded my songs. Again songs are missing. Here is the interesting thing. Media Monkey shows 273 items in the playlist and my Zen shows 273 songs So where are they?
I too am getting VERY FRUSTRATED! Please let me know if you find a solution!!
Thanx!

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

My airport problem has returned big time --Need some Help!!

Aloha once again:
I though that this was fixed by simply changing channels on my airport router, but that fix only lasted for a few days, but now it's back and even worse. Let me give you some background on this problem. Here's my original message concerning the problem:
I have my Airport Router connected to the Internet via DSLcable. I then tie my two computers into the internet via their airport cards. For about 6 months this system has been working just fine. Recently my desktop computer quit listening to the router and can no longer connect to the internet. It shows no signal strength and the name of the network on the Airport is not seen in the "connect to internet" panel. The same Airport works just fine on my LapTop and I am using it right now to get this message off to the internet.
I have fixed permissions, removed the airport card and cleaned the connector, the antenna plug and removed the system configuration folder from library preferences all to no avail!
This problem has been hounding me, intermittently, for over a year now What can I do to remedy this??? HELP!!!!
Dan Page
Maui, Hawaii
The suggestion to change channels, that came from this original request, worked but just for a very short time. Now I have to shut down my computer overnight to get connected and then it only lasts for several hours and the connection quits.
I thought maybe heat was a problem, but the last time it happened I opened the computer and played a large fan right on the card. This did not help. I shut it down for the night and it was fine the next morning for about 2 hours.
One new data point; if I turn off just the airport on my laptop computer overnight, that will fix the problem for a short time also.
Still need some help!!!
Dan

First, power off both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express.
Wait a few minutes, then power up the Time Capsule first, and let it run for a few minutes.
Temporarily, move the AirPort Express to the same room or close proximity to the AirPort Express and power it up.
If the Express powers up correctly, power it off again and move it approximately half the distance between the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage. Try to minimize obstructions like walls, ceiling, heavy furniture, etc as much as possible.
Please report on your results.

Broadband Usage Problem - Need Proper Help From BT

Hello,
A day ago I received a message from BT saying that I was approaching the usage limit for my BT broadband. I am on Option 2 and normally use around 20GB in a month. I checked my usage on My BT and found it was 38.64GB on 14/2. I checked again this morning and found it was now 42.73GB for the 15/2.
I've tried calling BT, but have only got through to the BT help in India. The first person I spoke to said it was because I was being charged for my BTVision usage and wouldn't accept that it was independent of my broadband. I tried again, and the second person said the same, but upon my insistence checked with a colleague - and came back apologising, saying that the BTVision usage was separate and so I would not be charged at the end of the month.
I am scared to use my BT broadband and BTVision for fearing of incurring more charges. I have not done anything that warrants high usage: I don't watch films or play games on-line. I read news, check e-mails, do banking, view video clips - the usual everyday stuff.
Please can somebody from BT help me? I am tired of trying to explain the situation and getting the same scripted answers. The stock response from the BT staff seems to be for me to upgrade to an unlimited package, but I want to know why this is happening (is it a mistake on BT's part? I did not use 4GB yesterday), how I can go back to my normal broadband usage, and whether I will be charged for this excessive usage. In short: something is wrong, I have little control over the situation despite trying repeatedly to talk to someone from BT, and I would like some help.
Thank you
Paul

I've received a very helpful message from a Forum Moderator explaining my problem. The usage monitor also included my BT Vision usage, so I have not exceeded the limit with my broadband. Hopefully this problem will be sorted out in the next few weeks.
It seems a great shame BT's staff in India aren't aware of this problem - it would save a lot of time, telephone calls and worry.
This is extremely interesting. I've been having this problem since last summer and still am. I have a similar type of usage to you with browsing, emails etc. My work IT department are gobsmacked how my usage can be so high.
I've been through exactly the same where I've stopped using my BB service for fear of being charged and i have always suspected BT Vision usage was being included. During a 1 hour phone call with India and several times since I have been told it is "IMPOSSIBLE" for BT Vision usage to be included. This admission appears to prove otherwise !!

Need some help and guidance please!

Hi everyone,
I desperately need some help because I am at my wits end. In September I purchased a Compaq Presario CQ60-450US. Shortly after purchasing, I fresh installed Windows 7 Professional. Recently I decided to tried to dual boot ubuntu on the machine only to find that the installation failed because of CD read error. I know for a fact that the CD is not the issue because I have used this CD three other times to install ubuntu thus I came to the conclusion that the CD/DVD drive was bad.
I called HP support to get a new CD/DVD drive replaced only to spend 2 hours on the phone with a individual that decided to troubleshoot first trying to install ubuntu remotely (I informed the indiviual that the remote session would end), then by playing a DVD and "skipping throughout" the movie. He/she said that she could see no issue. (no diagnostic was run)I informed the individual that I had issues with buring as well. He/she proceeded to go online and install software asking me to demonstrate the issue after which the call got dropped mysteriously.
I called HP support back and told them that I am having an issue now burning. They proceed to connect remotely and look at the software the previous support individual downloaded and said that the software was not supported by HP. I informed the individual that I give permission to install any software needed to troubleshoot but the individual said that I could not be suppoted because I wasn't using the OS installed by HP. I was instructed to recover my machine to the OS that was installed with the machine if I was to continue to get support.
I informed the individual that the drivers and software are the same for either OS considering the CD/DVD rom is a plug and play device. The individual refused to help and told me I had lost my warranty because of my decision to install an OS directly from Microsoft or a third paper vendor.
That is where I stand. HP is refusing to give me support because I am not running their Vista Home edition even though my issue is hardware. I cannot find any warrent information stating that I need to have the original operating system installed on the machine to receive support. Can anyone point me to a reputable division that can help me with my issue? I feel I was just thrown aside so that they don't have to initiate a repair. If not has anyone filed a compalint against this outrageous support requirement?

Dear ndjumpball,
I would like to say that I have some good -- or at least encouraging -- advice. Regretfully, I do not. I had issues with my dv7 practically since purchasing it a year ago specifically so I would have a reliable computer for school. My first problem: I bought my laptop a mere 7 weeks before HP started offering their free upgrade to Windows 7. Consequently, I was forced to purchase the full installation retail or continue to deal with the wonton freezes and system failures that inevitably occurred while I was working on homework -- courtesy of HP's installation of Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Thankfully, I was able to purchase a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit through a significant student discount offer from Microsoft, and I had my new OS downloaded the evening of October 23, 2009; I had to give their servers time to free up, since it seemed like everyone and their dogs were also downloading what the reviews posted on CNET and PC World touted as being more reliable. I recall (I can't remember exactly which site this appeared) the statement, "Windows 7 is what Vista should have been from the beginning."
I was all excited and happy now that I had a laptop for school that had everything I was looking for: decent size hard drive, a fair amount of RAM, great 17.3" display with awesome colors, and a CDRW/DVDRW/Blu-Ray disk drive in the bay. Not only was I very satisfied with the hardware; it also came with a decent host of software that are thought was pretty cool, too. It came with CyberLink's DVD Suite 6 that I could activate simply by touching a soft button above the keyboard. Aside from Vista Home Premium crashing on me at the most inopportune times, I was exceedingly happy with my $1000 purchase and investment. Then came the "upgrade" to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit...Because I didn't have a "compatible" version of Vista, I had to do a full ("custom") install. In other words, I lost all of the cool features I originally bought the machine for in the first place...no more cool one-finger's brush software activation (still don't have that working), and HP Chat Support told me the same thing they told you. The following is a direct copy/paste quote from an email response I received from HP Total Care: "In order to help you relevantly I would like to request you to please revert back to Vista operating system and check whether the issue is persisting or not. If the issue is still persisting after reverting the operating system back to vista then we need to perform system recovery."
After pursuing my case for 6 months -- finally getting my case escalated to two HP Customer Care Case Managers in Texas/Oklahoma -- the best "customer support" I received was what I'm sure was a truly heartfelt and sincere apology... Oh, neither case manager was "able" to send me either the true upgrade disks that would have preserved the features purchased, nor were they willing to send me a stand-alone installation of the CyberLink’s DVD Suite 6 that is currently offered with the HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition series. (In massive frustration and anger, I bought the CyberLink’s DVD software - $100 I didn't have to spend on something I had already bought...)
A month later (late March), MY CD-RW/DVD-RW/Blu-Ray drive stopped working. After an hour online with Customer Care, I had finally convinced the rep that the drive was working fine after my ditching Vista Home Premium, and that its failure had absolutely nothing to do with Windows 7 Pro. After giving the guy my credit card number as security, I had a replacement drive shipped to me.
My personal recommendation: clearly state that the hardware failure had nothing to do with whatever software or OS you chose to install. Bottom line: your computer is only 8 months old and is still covered under warranty, they can replace the defective part, or you can return the entire machine. You probably want to be the "Nice Guy" but you need to remind them that you have other brands available to purchase.
I don't know if that helps or not, but thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent! :-)

Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect to iTunes and update via iTunes. Others have had the same problem.

thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!

Need some help in saving video message from viber to my Iphone 5S with new ios 8's program .

After loading and watching it, I press the "save to gallery" thing but it doesn't save in gallery.
