Adding objects to Anchors / intersections

Lets say i made a number of curves, and used the intersect mode in the pathfinder, so all my lines have anchors were they intersect: i would like to add a circle at each of the intersections or allanchors of the lines. How can i do this?

Hi
I do not have a solution but hope this is of interest to your plan. I believe you are referring to the "divide", not the "intersect" option in the pathfinder menu?
Result of intersect:
result of divide:
The important bit to notice is that even if it looks like you have one point at the intersection it is in fact three points as the figure consists of several objects. If you find a way to put circles at the intersections you would then get three times as many as you need, possibly making your file larger than necessary.
Hope you find a solution :-)

Error Adding object to collection

Hi all... I'm using Toplink + ADF Faces...
We have the following problem: There are 2 tables involved, table A and table B
Table B has a FK to table A, therefore a one-to-one mapping from B to A and a one to many mapping (collection) from A to B.
What I want to do is to add an object of type B to the collection of an A object. I'm showing an input form for the constructor of type B, a submit button, and a read only table bellow to show the items of the collection. I have done this several times and worked fine, now I have NO clue why this is not working.
What I used to do to achieve this is to call the method of the type A "addB(B)" (to add the object) and then the "Execute" operation (to refresh the table shown) of the collection in which the addB method is adding objects.
What I get is just:
2006-11-17 13:53:30.421 WARNING JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.lang.NullPointerException, msg=null
2006-11-17 13:53:30.421 WARNING java.lang.NullPointerException
and no more details.... :-S
Does anyone know why this could be happening???
or
Is there some other way of adding objects to a collection using ADF and toplink?? Any suggestion is more than welcome!! I've been trying for too long to solve this... :-(
Thanks in advance

Here is another symptom:
a few days ago, I developed a search page of objects of type "C". This type, has a collection of objects of type "B". This page is working fine, now... I do exactly the same steps to create a new page with the same search functionallity, and I get the same NullPointerException described above (with no extra information).
Since the development of that working page until now, I manually added the mapping of table "A", which was not mapped by the time we developed the working search page. So I guess something is wrong with this new mapping.
Here are the steps i did to map the new table "A" and define the relationship with table B (through a foreing key defined in DB):
- created Java objects from tables for table "A".
- added a FK from "B"->"A" in table "B" in the Offline Database Sources (just like the FK in the real DB)
- added a ValueHolder attribute to class "B" (with the appropiate get and set, and initializing it in the constructor of class "B")
- added a List attribute in class "A" of objects of type "B" (with the appropiates add, remove, get and set methods), and initializing the List as a new ArrayList in the constructor.
- in the toplink map, mapped the new attributes:
one-to-one for the Valueholder in class "B" (using the appropiate FK)
one-to-many for the List attributes in class "A" (using the appropiate FK)
- refreshed all possible datacontrol
And thats it... am I doing something wrong or missing something??
Is there any other way to map a new table into an existing toplink mapping? I'm using Jdev 10.1.3 Integrated workbench...
I will really appreciate any suggestion or comment, I really have no clue why this is happening.... Thanks in advance

Drawing object on the intersections point of 2 lines.

hi guys, im very new in actionscrip , please give me some guidance.
i'm doing this project , about 2 lines intersecting each other(the 2 lines are not always on the same position) . i try to find the intersections point using collision detection method but how do i place an object on the intersections point?
if(line1.hitTestObject(line2)) // so this is how we find the intersection point but we do not know how to draw/place an object on the intersection point.

then it's easier to calculate the intersection algebraically:
function intersectionF(x1:Number,y1:Number,x2:Number,y2:Number,x3:Number,y3:Number,x4:Number,y4:Number):Array {
     if (x1==x2) {
          if (x3==x4) {
               if (x1==x3) {
                    return ["line1"];
               } else {
                    return [null];
          } else {
               // line 1 vert, line 2 not
               var m2:Number = (y3-y4)/(x3-x4);
               var b2:Number = y3-m2*x3;
               return [x1,m2*x1+b2];
     } else {
          // line 1 not vert
          if(x3==x4){
               // line 2 vert
               var m1:Number = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2);
               var b1:Number = y1-m1*x1;
               return [x3,m1*x3+b1];
          } else {
               // line 2 not vert
               m1 = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2);
               b1 = y1-m1*x1;
               m2 = (y3-y4)/(x3-x4);
               b2 = y3-m2*x3;
               var x:Number = (b2-b1)/(m1-m2);
               return [x,m1*x+b1];

Offset Path in AI CS4 added overlaping unnecessary anchor points.

Offset Path tool in AI CS4 offen added some unnecessary anchor points, these points were hard to find because they were overlaping. But when these path were used to blend, faulty effect come. I must remove them manually. It never happened in AI CS2.

> You could use a script to find and remove these points (JET?).
A script could search for and remove
coincident points. But in my experience with the problem in CS3, the abberant results of Outline Stroke, Offset Path, etc., are not consistent enough to reliably correct with a script. In some situations, the redundant points do not have identical handles. How would a script know the right handles to retain? In other situations, entirely extra trash paths are created (as when outlining strokes of dashed paths--the supposed justification for the whole train wreck in the first place). How is a script supposed to know which paths are correct?
A proper script solution would be to replace the offset path feature altogether. But that would be a pretty ambitious undertaking.
No, the dang thing just needs to be fixed. Others (assumed to be beta testers) have reported that it was fixed in CS4. If artilu is correct here, that is not the case.
Adobe's history has not been good re fixing such bugs during the lifecycle of a major version.

Adding objects to list

Hi,
I am new java. I have a probelm adding objects to list. This is the following code.
class Test{
List <>dataList = new ArrayList<>();
public List<A> getAList(){
dataList.add(new A());
return dataList ;
public List<B> getBList(){
dataList.add(new B());
return dataList;
}In the above code what I will pass<parameterized data> to the dataList decalred as member variable?

nothing common for A and B. Both A and B are different pojos. but we can tell A and B extends from Object.I tried like that
way. But it is not working. <? extends from Object>.Both two methods have to be in the same classYou do in that case have a bad design. Why is the same list used for both. It can't be type safe so you need to cast and the user of the list might get classcast exceptions during iteration.

Hi Kamil,
I'm guessing you are talking about encountering these issues post MLR# 7 patch.
Here are some of the things ypu could start off with:
1. Check your LS Inventory to see if your patch was applied successfully
2. Ensure that all the post installation steps were performed (in the readme file)
3. You could rollback this patch and check if you are still getting the same error.
4. After rollback, if your config works fine, rerapply the patch again and observe the effects.
Thanks & Regards,

Adding Object Mannully Vs. Adding Object in SU24 for Tranaction

All,
What is the diff. between Adding a missing Object Mannully in PFCG Vs. Adding Object in SU24 for Tranaction ?
What is the diff. between chaning Vaule for a missing Object Mannully in PFCG Vs. Changing a value in SU24 for a Auth Ojbect ?
Please let me know.
From
PT.

Hi PT,
There is no direct link between transactions and the auth objects assigned to them via PFCG. Things like config and the way transaction are used have an impact on how the auths are evaluated for a given transaction.
As you know, we use SU24 to update the SAP delivered values to meet the auth checks in our particular implementations or as per our requirements. What this enables us to do is to ensure that when we enter a transaction, all the relevant auth objects and where appropriate fixed values are pulled through (so if you know that different usages of that tx requires different values then add the object in SU24 but leave the relevant field blank). If you remove that transaction from the role, the auths that are also required are removed from the role too, as long as the role is not in Manual or Changed status.
If you manually add the auth object then you have no link with the transaction/s that are required to run the object. You can remove the transaction and the auth object value will remain in the role. If not properly managed, you can end up with excess auths still present in roles, particularly with the S_* objects and in areas like FI where it is very easy to skip between transactions through menu options where there is no S_TCODE check, with the auth object check being the only controlling one.
Manually entered objects definitely have their uses as long as they are properly documented and managed when maintaining roles.

DITA - Multiple objects in anchored frame

Hi,
I'm using the DITA features in FrameMaker 9. I'd like to insert multiple objects in an anchored frame in a DITA topic.
Right now, if I save an image element containing multiple objects, FrameMaker discards any extra objects in the frame. I've also experimented with adding extra graphics elements to the DTD using the attributes listed in the Structure Application Developer Guide. I can save DITA topics containing the custom elements, but they are not added to the XML file though I can see them in the FrameMaker interface. I have not yet experimented with a DITA specialization.
When exporting anchored frames in Structured FrameMaker to XML, FrameMaker bundles multiple objects in a frame into a single CGM file.
Is there a way to export anchored frames to CGM files before saving DITA topics? Is there a plug-in out there that will automatically save the objects in a frame? Can I use read/write rules to define how to treat these frames? How about creating a specialization on the objects element?
I'd like to use the tools in FrameMaker to modify elements in an anchored frame. I don't see why doing this should break the DITA model if these objects are bundled into a single file on export.
Thanks,
- Maura

Hi Maura...
The short answer is .. you can't do that.
DITA knows nothing about "frames" and only allows a single object to be referenced by an image element, so to remain in compliance with the DITA specification the content of a frame is tightly controlled by FM. There's nothing that you'll be able to do via read/write rules or EDD tricks to get FM to write out the data from multiple objects as a CGM .. this is overridden by the internal DITA plugin within Frame. You're correct that in theory FM could merge multiple graphics into a CGM, but this really wouldn't be a good way to operate since the text or other objects would no longer be editable. You can do this now using Illustrator or other applications that let you store the text and objects on separate layers, then save to a single file. Reference this single file in the image element in DITA.
That said .. we are looking into supporting some subset of multiple graphic objects within a frame in DITA-FMx, and this feature may be available in an upcoming beta.

Need to ungroup objects in anchored frames

Hi all,
Going round and round in circles with this one...and have found other posts around anchored frames, but not this issue.
I created a book (file) with a lot of grouped images (screenshots, arrows, annotations - composed and grouped on clean area).
I created anchored frames, cut and pasted the groups INTO the anchored frames.
So far so good.
Six months later, I need to update the book (it is now a book in InDesign terms, so I was only coping with one section at a time).
I can select each item inside the group using the direct selection tool - so where just a bit of text in an annotation needs to change, that's what I'm doing.
I also need, though, to update some of the screenshots, add new arrows and new annotations (which are just small text boxes).
Nothing I do lets me ungroup the object so I can replace the screenshot and then regroup them.
I have tried releasing the anchored frame, but that doesn't help.
I've tried using the direct selection tool on the frame contents to try to copy it out of the frame, but ungroup remains stubbornly greyed-out.
I've resorted to using the direct selection tool to copy each element individually out onto a clean area, put the new screenshot in the middle, group them all and then re-insert into an anchored frame. One screenshot, one arrow, one caption = nuisance, but OK. One screenshot, 20 arrows, 20 captions = real pain.
Because my deadline is fast approaching, I've just been superimposing the extra arrows and annotations - which will do to create the PDF, but I need to sort it out at some point or I'm going to have a nightmare the next time around with floating arrows all over the place.
I must be missing something, but what?
Wrong selection tool at wrong time?
Thanks in advance,
Alison

It was the stacking problem that really took me to the "copy them out one by one" phase as I needed to replace something that was originally obove some elements but below others. For example,one page originally had two partial screenshots, now it has three. I need to insert one into a layer between the first two (basically, I'm shorf of space on a printed document, and the bottom right section of each screen is blank so I'm taking advantage of that space to overlap).
can delete the "original" top image, then put the two in in the correct order, but I'm covering the arrow heads...by the time I get to this stage, it's as quick to start again comosing a new group.
I'm not putting so much in anchored frames this time around - I thought it would save me time, but it isn't.

Can objects be anchored to boxes instead of/in text?

I'm working on a newsletter and have created my "continued on page x" and "continued from page x" boxes to connect my articles together. I've been able to create Object Styles for each one and have anchored them to the text box. My problem is that if I should happen to resize the main text box which contains the article, for instance, the text obviously flows; and depending on where the anchors are, they may jump to the next text box. My workaround has been to place my anchors close to the middle of the text in the text box (especially after the first text box). Occasionally I run into problems if the text is edited or removed then I lose the anchors altogether.
Is there a way to anchor objects so that they don't reflow, can lock to a particular box or simply anchor to the box instead of the text? If there is a better way, I'm open to that too.
thanks!

There's a trick which I've been preaching for years:
Use text on a path to anchor the continued text to your text frame.
You'll need to construct your text frame the right way around to
prevent the text on the path to creep around the frame as it's resized.
You'll need to be careful in CS4 though, because of a bug which
prevents text on a path from being exported beyond a certain page...

Adding objects to the stage & acceessing stage properties - I'm a bit confused..

Hi,
I'm a little confused on two fronts regarding display
programming:
A. What the best way to add objects to the stage?
B. How to access stage properties.
I can do both of these when the project is an 'Action Script
Project', but I'm having trouble when it is a 'Flex Project' (e.g.
an MXML file). See the two attached files with questions included
in the comment to see exactly what I mean.
A. What the best way to add objects to the stage?
=====================================
In an action script project that extends Sprite I can just
call addChild()
In an MXML project I can add objects to the stage by first
adding them to a UIComponent, then adding that to the stage.
1. Is that the best way to do it?
In this doc:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=05_Display_Programming_02.html
it says that
quote:
Each SWF file has an associated ActionScript class, known as
the main class of the SWF file. When Flash Player opens a SWF file
in an HTML page, Flash Player calls the constructor function for
that class and the instance that is created (which is always a type
of display object) is added as a child of the Stage object. The
main class of a SWF file always extends the Sprite class
2. why cant I just add a sprite object direct to the stage
without the UIComponent?
3. What is the 'main class', and how can i get access to it?
B. How to access stage properties.
=========================
In an action script project that extends Sprite I can just
call trace(stage.framerate)
But in an MXML file I cannot figure out how to access the
stage properties.
See the attached code for the things that I tried, but which
didnt work.
In the page:
http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=140655
It says
quote:
For stage access you have a couple of rules:
* natively, only display objects have inherent access to
stage
* display objects only have a valid reference to stage if
they're within the stage's display list (on the screen, after added
to it with addChild)
* The only display objects which immediately have access to
the stage before the use of addChild (in their constructor) are the
document/application class instance (root) and any instance from
the library placed on the timeline (not created with AS).
* Non-display object classes have to be passed or assigned a
reference to the stage from another object which already has access
to it - they cannot access it otherwise.
4. How do I access the stage properties in the MXML project?
5. I suspect this is related to the "main class", which I
dont yet understand - is it?
Sorry for the long post.
cheers

I created a vector and added objects, but the vector is empty

I created an object called a facility, it accepts 2 strings in the creator but stores the data as a string and a float. as you can see from the code below, i have tried to create a vector object to contain facilitys and named it entries. when i add objects to this vector, the vectors size does not change, and i cannot access elements of it via their index. but when i print the vector out i can see the elements? what is going on here. i am very confused. ps, if it helps i havent worked with vectors much before.
FacilitysTest.java
import java.util.*;
public class FacilitysTest {
     public static void main (String [] args) {
     Facilitys entries = new Facilitys();
     entries.add("Stage","3.56");
     entries.add("kitchen","5.00");
     entries.add("heating","2");
//     System.out.println(entries.firstElement() );
     System.out.println("printing out entries");
     System.out.println(entries);
     System.out.println();
     System.out.println("There are "+entries.size()+" entries");
     System.out.println();
     System.out.println("modifying entry 2");
     entries.setElementAt(new Facility("lighting","1.34"), 2);
     System.out.println(entries);
     System.out.println();
     System.out.println("deleting entry 1");
     entries.remove(1);
     System.out.println(entries);
}the following is what happens when i run this code.
the number (0,1,2) is taken from a unique number assigned to the facility and is not anything to do with the facilitys position in the vector.
printing out entries

are you reffering to where i have public class
Facilitys extends Vector {
     private Vector entries;
     public Facilitys( ) {
             entries = new Vector();
That's correct. That's your problem.
i added the extends Vector, because without it i got

How to remove/avoid faint line after dividing objects and recoloring intersection

I created two rings which should pass through each other similar to the olympic rings.
I recreate the two rings (both objects, filled no stroke) and position them. I select them both and click divide using the pathfinders tool.
I then change the color of one point of intersection to that of the background ring (in this case from pink to black).
However, as shown in the image below a very faint line is left. This shows up when I create a .pdf file of the ring.
How can I prevent this faint line from showing? Have searched for the answer but can't find it.

Probably just an artifact. But you can select that oath and look at the appearance panel and make sure it only has on fill and no stroke.
Orr you can turn that into alive paint group and use the Live Paint Bucket to fill it with black even though it already is black.
Or you can redo this by creating outlines of the rings as you did before selecting both outline rings and clicking on the live paint bucket to turn the art into a live paint group and fill the segment with black.
If using CS 5 you might want to hide the original path after using the outline stroke command.
In CS5 when you outline a stroke the original Path is preserved so you either want to use it delete it or turn its visibility off.
This is the result of the live paint group method

Adding objects into query Panel and no display report

Hi Folks,
I had an issue with WEBI .
Iam running the report with few objects at first time , all objects are displayed in the table format of report.
I saved and closed the report .
Later i opened the report and edited the report by adding new objects into query panel and runing it.
but this time i did not find the new objects in display table in report as like DeskI.
If we find the solution for this , it will be great help to me.
Thanks
Mahesh

The objects will be in the data tab. Objects are not automatically added to your report in Webi, they are made available in the data panel, and you can choose which objects to add.
