2 simple questions about opening and closing seperate windows via iWeb...

I'm a web newbie, so please excuse me for my lack of terminology. My questions are... 1. How do i have iWeb open a separate browser window "simultaneously" from my main page to display a quicktime movie or piece of artwork? 2. Is it possible with iWeb to create a "close" window button within that same seperate window so that the veiwer does not have to click the red button in the upper left hand corner. Thanks guys and girls!

Sorry! i meant I tried all of the links that are on your web page. There are quite a few of them and I watched most of the movies but there aren't any that open on a new window with a link to close it. I thought that happened because I had a pop-up blocker but even after dissabling the blocker and trying opening some of them again they still opened in the same window. I did come accross a couple of links that changed the window and made it do wacky thinks like moving fast left and right and forcing the window to get smaller. Kinda fun but this is not what I had in mind.. lol The rollover javascript is nice but I couldn't find it on the page's source. Is it the part that says "<script language="JavaScript1.2" src=..."? I'm just curious to know which software you used to make the flash movies and how difficult it was. Maya rocks by the way!

Simple question about mount and delay script

Hello, I have a simple question about mounting volumes on start up.
My computer wakes up auto - and then auto there are serveral applescript tasks (mount and start up programs)
I use this script (daily) for serveral connections with external volumes I always need the connect to. ( In the script I use this code 3 times for other locations) I do this on start up.
set Uname to "XXX"
set Pword to "XXX"
set someVolume to "afp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/XXX/XXX
mount volume someVolume as user name Uname with password Pword
(same code for 2 other locations)
When i do this on start up sometimes the script says there is no connection possible. I guess it's because on start up the connection isn't there. And 1 minute later when computer is total ready the connection is ok. When I run the script then It works. Just sometimes ( In the morning) 'It' want to connect but the script stops. When i do it manually(I run the script again) it works just fine.
Is it possible that I need a delay? Can someone explain this?
How would I make a delay handler for this script? Is that the best solution?
Thanks in advance. This is something small i'm wondering about.
Colin

BTW, If you saved the script as an application +(and not as an application bundle)+ you could drop the script on to *Drop Script Backgrounder* (freeware).
Then the script would run in the background, so, you wouldn't see it running in the Finder.

Question about open and close of MySqlConnection

hi
i'd like to ask a question.
  MySqlConnection connection = newMySqlConnection(stringConnection);
                MySqlCommand cmd = connection.CreateCommand();
                connection.Open(); and i have a try catch. accoding to your opinion, i should put connection.Close() in the block of try,or outside of block of try? according to you,if i open the connection and do not close,is it bad?or i open 2 times(using different istancse,like connection1 and connecton2),is it ok? thank u very muchbest regardsmartin

This code will work in tests. But it will propably fail in a production environment. You don't even close the connection and that is bad enough. This is how you should never,
EVER work with disposeable objects!
try
MySqlConnection connectionLev = newMySqlConnection("server=P30LSIMUL;user id=root;database=cncp20l");
MySqlCommand cmd = connectionLev.CreateCommand();
connectionLev.Open();
Console.WriteLine("OK");
catch (Exception ex)
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
try
MySqlConnection connectionLev = newMySqlConnection("server=P30LSIMUL;user id=root;database=cncp20l");
MySqlCommand cmd = connectionLev.CreateCommand();
connectionLev.Open();
Console.WriteLine("OK");
catch (Exception ex)
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
If code like that runs in any production environment, you are about to get fired.
From a catapult.
SqlConnections implement Finalize so when the GC does collect them, they will be properly closed. That can be anywhere between "milisccond the reference vanishes" and "the programm is closed after 100 years of the computer running without
a hitch and reboot."
Put one of those blocks (or both) into a loop that runs 100 times and you will run out of avalible SQL conenctions.
Since you alraedy have a try...catch block, just use the construct that Magnus showed you:
Put the variable outside of the try (so finalize can access it). Check for null (in case an exception happened before/during the creation, not during the use of it) then Dispose.
Note that finalize is even run after the function it is contained in returns (about the only code that can still run then). And that you should always log/expose ex.ToString(), never only the message (that one contains only 5% of the information, the otehr
95% are much more important).

Simple question about flex and AS 3.0

Hi, this might sound like a simple question so I apologize...
I have both a copy of flex 2 and 3, and i want to simply code in AS
3.0 not mxml. I referred to the help of both flex 2 and 3, and all
i could come up with is "you can add dynamic behavior to your
documents using actionscript", which means to me, you only write
your functions in AS and create instances with mxml (...ugh).
personally, i find mxml to be ugly (mainly because it looks like
html to me), and i'd rather not use it. coming from programming in
an IDE in Java, it seems like it would be nicer to have something
similar, all the while having the power and cool features of flash.
I'm not fully educated in this matter so i understand that i could
be totally wrong.
i mean, if i have to code in mxml, i will. i'm a web
programmer for a living, and if a more experience programmer said
something like "if you don't code mxml in flex, you'll never get a
job coding in flex", i would trust the advice, and learn the ugly
code. :)
yes, i do have Flash cs3, it's great but it seems like a pain
to me the way you organize classes.... i've only seen a few
tutorials, ones that explain how you cannot simply import a custom
class, you have tell your movie to link to it, put it in the same
directory, or manually name the package, it's sort of confusing.
my main point here is that i'm very eager to start building
apps in straight AS 3.0 instead of using flash cs3 (for some
projects), and it would be cool to get some help or be pointed in
the right direction.
to simplify:
can i write AS 3.0 and only as 3.0 in flex 2 or 3? how? can
you link me to a tutorial? any advise?
thanks!

Hey William, thanks for the post. It's a great coincidence
because I'm reading that book as well. I'm about half way through
it, and I love it. I installed mxmlc on my linux box and am writing
pure AS 3 apps. I think that's the way to go, though I know it's
not for everybody.
My problem with mxml is that it has a weird syntax for
function calls, and it's not as 'intuitive' for a person like me,
who came from C++ and Java programming in the past. I like writing
programs in the C++ and Java style syntax, and since so many other
languages use a similar syntax, I don't see any reason to learn the
nuances of mxml, unless I was getting paid to do it. As far as I
can tell there is no benefit.
I hate using Flash to write flash apps as well, I feel like
they become messy and confusing, especially when trying to write an
OOP application. I only use it if I want to move an object in a
very specific way and can't do it with the Tween methods.

Simple question about telnet and characters

Hi all,
We've installed for the first time a SUN machine. So i think it's for a SUN expert a very simple question.
Normally when i type a special character it will be dispayed like " � " [alt+132]
But when i use a telnet session and i type "alt+132" i get a "d" and not "�".
Does someone know where i must start to find out how this works ?
Thanks you very much.
ESP

This is probably related to the locale your server is in. I don't remember the default locale a box is installed in if you don't specify. I think its "C". I use the UTF-8 or en_US.ISO8859-1 locales at home. At work, usually C but sometimes applications may require UTF-8. BEA Weblogic required this for a project a while back. This is defined in /etc/init/tz.

Few questions about partitioning and formatting in Windows 8

Hello,
I'm very shortly after a Windows 8 reinstall and I want to make use of this moment to finally understand partitioning and formatting in Windows 8.
Before using Windows 8, I was an XP user for 5 years and I actually never bothered myself with formatting my main system partition, that's probably why my computer ended up working like a slime for the last years. Anyway, by now I have been using Windows 8 for a year.
Three weeks ago I faced a system-related problem with my laptop (IdeaPad Y580) which prevented it from peacefully shutting down. A good friend of mine (XP user for his entire life, and now Windows 7 newbie user) told me, that I should keep all my non-system stuff on separate partition and that I should do the main system partition format from time to time to keep my PC out of trouble. It is sure that he took his knowledge from using XP, and here's my first question - does this method apply to Windows 8?
I mean as far as I know, back then, in XP, partitioning was possible only during Windows installation, and now, in Windows 8 we have a Disk Management for this, which do not require running Windows installation to create new partitions.
I'm mentioning this due to the fact that originally (I mean by factory settings) my drive has only one visible partition - C: (1TB), so I would need to use the Disk Management to take some space from C: partition and allocate it to the new D: partition.
In case I do this whole partitioning operation and create a D: partition, is it sure that formatting my system-only C: partition won't have effects on my D: partition, and all the programms and data I have here will stay on their places and work after format? (I'm worried about this because I've seen in some partitioning guide a warning not to format the main partition after the partitioning operation, because it would erase totally all data - I'm not sure if I misunderstood something or is it a mistake? EDIT: here's the link for this guide, just jump to the "Final Thoughts" section to see what I'm taking about: http://www.technorms.com/8438/windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition ).
If this whole method of keeping your system running fine doesn't apply to Windows 8, I guess I'm okay with having only one C: partition.
By the way, it doesn't matter for me if I create new partition in terms of conflicts with preinstalled Lenovo OneKey Recovery, since I had to reinstall my Windows 8 recently from non-Lenovo CD, and either way my laptop is now totally clean, without Lenovo stuff (I found Lenovo Recovery CD for Y580 on the internet, but it had non-single-language Windows 8 in it, and I needed a single-laguage one in order to have my Product Key recognised, so I just used a pure Windows 8 SL installer)

I just found out that I can't even transfer my Users folder or Program Data to other drive than the one with the system, because it would prevent me from updating my system or even from actually booting to my system. So apparently my whole topic is for nothing... I guess I should live with only one drive, and whenever my system totally crashes again I should do the backups to my external HDD. It's sad though that Windows 8 is a total opposite to user-friendly OS, to say the least.

Usual windows 7 opening and closing of windows are not working with my updated Firefox 16.0.1

My Windows 7 automatically updated recently and so did Firefox. Now, with all other Windows applications including Internet Explorer, I can open a new window by right-clicking on the icon in the taskbar (showing there because the application is open), and when I right click, it gives me the option to close all windows. With Firefox, this also used to be the case, but since the update, when I right -click on the open Firefox in the taskbar, nothing happens. And when I tried to "pin" Firefox to the taskbar, even then, I cannot close all open windows just by right-clicking, and it is a longer procedure to open a new Firefox window. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

A simple question about Drag and Relate navigation

Dear experts
I have found SAP help or related manuals only good at talking difficult things such as how to customise the drag and relate targets, etc. However, after I followed exactly and then how to test.
Then I just see pieces of information, very unstructured. Spending me a whole day, even I can't get a good simple example on how to really perform a drag and relate at least for the proof of concept at EP 6.0. It spent a lot of time in describing what the navgiation panels about, what drag and relate targets. Then how to do it in once transversal. That is, with all customisation, how to drag and relate an object.
My step is with iview A, shows a purchase order details showing a drag and relate enabled object like vendor no.
Then I try to drag this vendor no. to a display vendor iview, iview B.
I have known I have to put iview A and iview B to a Drag-and-relate targets. I am sure I have done this. Does it mean opening the portal, I will see both iview A and iview B appearing at the same time in the drag-and-relate target area? However, in my case, it is not, iview A only appears in that area when I load it once, same to view B. When I load iview B, iview A links from D&R target will be wiped off. Then how I can drag an item from iview A to B while each one of them can only appear at any time.
Can anyone give me a simple guide (don't give me an internet link from help.com) I have been tired of this.
First, I would to make sure if my so called self-learnt drag-and-relate simple action is correct in the steps or really I have made something wrong in the customisation or even a bug there.
Can anyone on the planet have this experience, pls. act as my teacher in this area?
Rgds
Stephen

Thanks
I have tried the 1st way already. But I can see both iviews existing in the D & R targets. Now I try to drag an item with business object BUS2002 from iview A to relate to LFA1 of iview B of the same back end system.
But iview B shown up with that data of LFA1 shown up (in my case the vendor no.)
I have used autocomplete relationship and I have checked it has been well-defined already. Also check from metadata at backend they are both active.
Do you have any clues to the pitfall in my case?

Simple Questions about ESB and ftp adapter.

We have the following Business Scenario:
We have a partner company that provide us a ftp server with some files. We need to transfer these files from this server to other server, we don't need to read the file's content, we just need transfer the files.
We are planning to use ESB in order to implement this solution but we have the following questions:
Is it possible use the ftp adapter in order to transfer the files?
Is there any example available about (Schema is Opaque feature) on a ftp adapter?
Thanks
Ramiro Ortiz

Thank you very much for your reply.
. I am trying to construct a FTP ( get) adapter with which I would like to do a simple FTP transfer from /var/out directory server xxx.oms.com (say) to a directory /home/in on the server bos1.oms.com (say) could not figure out this in jdeveloper 10.1.3.3 ( do i need upgraded jdeveloper?). The esb server and control exists on server bos1.oms.com. While constructing the adapter in jdeveloper it asks for physical directory? Is this the directory where it will the read the file from? How do I specify if the directory exists on the different server.
is it something like xxx.oms.com:/var/out
Please let me know.

Simple question about WLI and admin server

Hello,
I have a domain with 3 servers in 2 machines. 2 servers forms the cluster and the other one is the admin server.
When a process finish, the WLI core execute a setStatus on JMX component of type ProcessConfiguration. This type of component is only deployed (in my installation) in the admin server. So the Integrarion cluster service depends on admin server...if I stop the admin servers all the process invocations fails...
I have tried to disable the process tracking data using wli console without results...
How I can disable this behavior?
Is there any way to deploy this type of component (ProcessConfiguration JMX) in the cluster?
Thanks

Simple question about sockets and streams - please answer it!

Hi
I have a server socket and a client socket. Both are up and runing. But I'm having problems to send a string from the client and read only the four first bytes on the server. Please read the code and some other comments below:
socket client:
DataOutputStream out =
new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
// read from keyboard input
BufferedReader myinput =
new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Type any 4 chars and [enter].");
String any = myinput.readLine();
out.writeBytes(any);
out.flush();
server socket:
in = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
byte[] id = new byte[4];
in.read(id, 0, 4);
System.out.print(new String(id));
According to the code, it should read 4 bytes from the input stream (in.read(id, 0, 4)), but it displays only the first byte. For example, if I type "hello" on client, the serve should show "hell" but it shows just "h"
Any ideias? Thanks!

Hi,
Check the Javadoc for 'in.read(id, 0, 4);' This reads up to 4 bytes and returns the number of bytes read. You need something along the lines of
int count = 0;
while (count < 4)
count += in.read(id, count, 4-count);

One Simple Question About Flash and XP

Does the latest version of Flash work with IE8 and/or the latest Firefox version, on a Windows XP sp3 Computer?
Thanks for any help.

It is best to follow Adobe's instructions for updating its software, which varies by the product & versions involved. This usually works well but Adobe is one of those companies big enough to play by its own rules, sometimes ignoring Apple's developer guidelines or inventing its own API's instead of using the Apple provided ones that do the same thing, so there is a small chance things won't go as expected even when you follow the instructions to the letter.
If this happens it is best to seek advice on a product by product, version by version basis.

Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

Assuming you do not have access to the "original" video/project and the YouTube video is the only copy, there is a method. Try "YouTube Downloader" which is a free software that allows you to download clips from YouTube as .mp4 files. You can then edit with Premiere, and re-encode again for upload to YouTube. Just keep in mind that you are re-compressing the video so there will be some quality loss. The better the quality of the original, the better the copy will hold up.

Connection/ResultSets/Prepared Statement opening and closing

Hi all another question that was sparked by a thread that I recently read. I believe it was duffmo who got the code from jverd. The code I am referring to is to have an open and close connection specified in a Utility or Database class. I wanted to know if there was any issues with having methods that open and close connections/result sets/ preparedStatements. Currently I am putting the finally blocks inside each of my methods. There is obvious benefits to putting the methods in a class on their own (namely code re-use) but I wanted to know if there are any dangers. (This may seem like a dumb question, but I've found from experience it's the things that you don't know that will cost you loads of time).
thanks again.

Hi all another question that was sparked by athread
that I recently read. I believe it was duffmo who
got the code from jverd. Generally speaking it's fine.
But as always you may have some long term design
issues to think about. If you build a simple
framework that consists of one class and that does
all that your program does then great.
Once you start add more complexity though you'll want
to be careful that you aren't reinventing the Spring
wheel or even ending up implementing your own
connection pool. Both of which, judging from posts
here seem to happen from time to time.
So I guess all in all, yes it's much better than
scattering the code all about but depending on what
you are going to be doing with it you may want to
look at the various ORM frameworks to see if they are
really the direction you should be going in.Thanks for the information cotton. I just wanted to make certain that it was a sensible thing to do. When I had first asked about connections I was told they should be opened an closed in the same spot, unfortunately I took that explanation a little too much to heart, and started opening and closing every connection resultset and prepared statement in each of the DAO classes that I was using.
Guess it's going to be a bit of work to refactor, but worth it for the cleaner code that will result.

A simple question about performance!

Hi! I have a simple question about performance. Suppouse that you have a servlet or a class with DB access, and you need to use a value several times in that page. What is best, to assign the value from say, a resultset or a request.getParameter() to a variable or to call the resultset or the request every time you need to retrieve that value? Which option uses less memory, which is faster, etc.?
Hoping the best fou u
Raul

If you need more values from a db, the best is to open some connections (connection pool) and use the for accessing the db.
To get the data only once, open the connection, get the data, store the data whereever you want: variable (class), hidden control (if you want to send from one page to another by request) and close the connection as quicky as possible.
The advantage of the first method is that the most time consuming activity (connections opening) is done only once.
