Where I am stuck is, i need to have a section of the program implemented so that if the user presses the 'W' key twice for example a message is displayed to say "you have pressed the W key twice"
Another task is that i have a button on the stage that when pressed it puts the letters in alphabetical order. I am very unsure about how this would be implemented into the program.
I am very new to flash programming and any help would be fantastic.
Looking forward to your replies,
Thanks

Using partition variable in task sequence

I need to configure a piece of software as part of a task sequence to direct some of its files to a specific partition. I have the ts creating 3 partitions and I'm specifying variables for each: DataDisk = 10GB, UsersDisk = 100GB, OSDisk = 100% remaining
free space.
The 100GB partition is the one I need the software to use. In the "Custom Tasks" section of the ts "Dump MDT Variables" step dumps all MDT variables to a text file on the local machine so I can see at that time UsersDisk = D:\, DataDisk
= C:\ and OSDisk = V:\, but after the deployment finishes UsersDisk = E:\. Also in the "Custom Tasks" section I'm running the "Configure Data Igloo" to configure the program. Is there a way to set UsersDisk = E:\ before I run
the "Configure Data Igloo" step when there's also an internal DVD drive likely using E:\?
Edit: I should add that it's all working properly at the moment but the "Configure Data Igloo" step is referencing E:\, not %UsersDisk% and I see this causing problems latter. Does anyone know how the drive letters are assigned? That is,
why does %DataDisk% = D:\ and %UsersDisk%= E:\ after deployment, why not the reverse?

Thanks for the reply Keith. I'm not thrilled about having to customize the partition structure either but because we use Deep Freeze we need use Data Igloo to cache user profiles on a partition other than C:\.
What I've ended up doing is using the 'Set Task Sequence Variable' tasks to set DataDisk = D:\ and UsersDisk = E:\ and then I can reference these variables for the task that configures Data Igloo. To be clear for anyone trying to follow this, I'm not
actually changing the letter assigned to the partitions, I'm just assigning a value to a variable which is then referenced in later task sequence steps.
The thing that I'm not sure about is how the partition letters are assigned. In my case the DataDisk partition is always assigned D:\ and UsersDisk is always assigned E:\. I thought it might be alphabetical but I changed the 'Format and Partition
Disk' step to rename UsersDisk to ADisk and it still gets letter E:\.
This isn't a big deal but if anyone knows how the letters are assigned please let me know.

How do I sort ALL my bookmarks into alphabetical order with ONE CLICK? (continued)

You can sort all your bookmarks alphabetically in one shot with the Auto-Sort Bookmarks add-on.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookmarks/?src=api
Note: Since the other thread with this name was closed, I'm posting this in a new thread.
Here's the old thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/933835

I've been watching this (general) thread for years and waiting patiently for Mozilla to address it, w/out any success at all - obviously. And, no, the answers are NOT helpful to me!
I understand many people have no interest in bookmarks but clearly lots of people still use them. If you're going to have the feature that purports to sort bookmarks, for pete's sake, make it work. I'd think it would be an embarrassment to have a part of your program malfunction for so long. I mean, what are you folks? IE!?! Why don't you just ask someone to spend a couple days addressing the issue and get it straightened out? (Clearly i care enough about it but I don't code, so… I'm useless.)
For the record, a user shouldn't have to individually sort each folder within their Bookmarks folder. One should be able to pick an option that would apply to all folders. Sure, leave the ability to sort individually but add an "apply to all" feature to the mother folder. Then, find a way to have it automatically maintain that status, whatever is selected. Doesn't sound like that difficult a task, given all the other great things you guys and girls do all the time! That's my ¢.
By the way, I'm using a MB Pro 4,1 (early 2008), OS 10.6.8, and Firefox 19.0 beta. Thanks for listening to my bitching.

Execute SQL Task fails when specific column names are mentioned in Excel Query

Hi,
I have a requirement for extracting Excel data with thespecific column order. So instead of using the below query,
Select * From [Sheet1$A1:ZZ1]
I use the below one,
Select col1,
col2,
col91
From [CRM$A1:ZZ1]
So I have totally 91 columns.
I don't face any issues when i use the before query. i.e. direct select * from sheet1
But when i specify column names and do a select from the sheet it throws error as below,
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "Select
[Col1]
From [Sheet1$..." failed with the following error: "No value given for one or more required parameters.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not
set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I just need to retrieve the column name alone and not any of the values to it. So when i do simple select * it gives the column names in the order of what it is been with the excel. But i do want it to be sorted in alphabetically and to retrieve the column
names.
I am not getting any proper solution for this for past 1 and a half days. May anyone of you please help me get it sorted? - Thank you!
--------------------------- Radhai Krish | Golden Age is no more far | --------------------------

Please use something like below:
SELECT F1 AS Col1, F2 AS Col2, F3 AS Col3, ...
FROM [Sheet1$A1:ZZ1]

CF9 Scheduled Tasks Sort order changed; how to fix it?

I just notice in my CF9 administrator under "Scheduled Tasks", the tasks now display Alphabetically IN GROUPS BY FREQUENCY rather than the straight alpha by Task Name. Is this a new "feature" of CF9 and how can I change it back to "normal" sort by Task Name? We have lots of scheduled tasks and it's really more convenient to see them the old way. I haven't found any obvious place where I can change the sort order. Any help is appreciated.

You could experiment with changing /CFIDE/administrator/scheduler/scheduletasks.cfm to be the one CF8 uses instead. I dunno if it would work, but it should.
Or you could write your own CFAdmin extension to display them however you like.
I don't know there's an "official" way to revert to the old view.
I'm not sure why they bothered changing this. I think they could have better spent said time on something else... like providing a proper API for managing the tasks, without needing to rely on using the service factory.

Sorting grouped tasks in MS Project 2010

Dear Forum,
I created a view and grouped the tasks in MS Project 2010. The following problem comes up: As I can only change between "ascending" and "descending" while creating the Group, all my tasks sort alphabetically but I want to have them
arranged in chronological order. When I try to sort them, they stay as they are.
One solution I could think of would be to add for example numbers in front of my tasks (e.g. 1_task1, 2_task2..) so Project would arrange them accordingly but that would not look nice, neither would I have to Change it manually each time.
Another solution would be to create a custom field including the sequence and then Group my tasks accordingly but I was wondering if any of you folks know any smart solution to this problem?
Regards,
Heiner

Heiner,
I believe the attached link explains that unfortunately what you are requesting is not possible. I was looking for something similar to this as well.
http://www.msofficeforums.com/project/10176-groups-sorted-start-date-ms-project.html
I'm using PWA 2010 and open up a portfolio of projects at one time. The best work around I have found is remove the grouping, insert the field called "Project", and then sort by Project, then by start date.
Good luck,
Sandy

Alphabetic Listing of Songs

How do I list the songs in iTunes in the normal alphabetical listing?
As they are lsited now, included in the list of all song names starting with "A" would be song names like "The Apple" or "The Archies".
How would I change the listing to have "The Apple" and "The Archies" under song names starting with "T"?

This sorting issue was the source of much frustration for myself for a long time as I wanted the albums on my iPod to show up in the order that they were released, not alphabeticaly. (yeah I'm anal!)Easy enough task in iTunes, but difficult on your iPod.The way I did it was to go into the sort menu of the first song of an album and under 'album name' insert the year of release BEFORE the title. eg, 1983 Texas Flood. (And here is where it relates to you,) The next step is to select the entire album, right click, and instead of selecting 'get info', click on 'apply sort field'. Another drop box appears,you then click on whichever is appropriate, in my case, 'same album'. The same technique can be used to sort artists. In this example, under 'sort artist name',I entered 'Vaughn Stevie Ray', he is now listed under V instead of S. You can do all the sort changes you like for an album in one hit and when you click on 'apply sort field', select the option 'all matching fields'. You can sort the artist name on all of the albums by one artist in one hit using this method, just be sure to only choose the 'same artist' option when doing it or you'll stuff up album titles as well. Also be aware that when applying sort fields to multple tracks, that the track at the top of the list is dominate and all those below will be made to match it. If you sort the artist by their surname and it begins with a letter that is closer to Z than their first name is, eg: Ben Harper, the first track you change will drop below the rest (if your library is set to display albums by artist)because it is now by Harper Ben, not Ben Harper. To combat this you will need to go to the column heading where it says 'album by artist' and click on it. This should reverse the order and put the newly altered track back at the top where you need it.(Hint It helps to isolate artists or albums you are sorting by locating them via the search menu in the top right hand corner of your library before you start, so you don't have your entire library jumping all over the place at once.) Good luck, hours of 'fun',I can assure you.

Sort a list alphabetically

Hi, I am using Pages version 5.2 and can not figure out how to sort a list alphabetically. There surely has to be a way to do such a basic task! Would be most grateful if somebody could tell me how this can be done. I have searched the communities and have so far not yet found an answer.

Katie,
Open a Finder window. Press command+J, and on the pop-up menu, select Show Library Folder. The hidden Library folder will now appear in your login directory. Find the WordService.service file, right-click on it, and choose Copy "WordService.service."
In a Finder window, you can now double-click the Library folder, and scroll down until you encounter a Services folder. Double-click the Services folder, and right-click in the white space, and choose Paste Item. You can close the Finder window if you choose.
In System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services ... scoll down the items in the right panel window until you find two items: Sort Lines Ascending and Sort Lines Descending. If their checkboxes are selected, they are now active. Note the keyboard shortcuts already assigned to them. Extra-credit: You may want to scroll back up slightly and enable Initial Caps of Sentences. Quit System Preferences.
In Pages v5.2, select your list of items to sort. Press shift+command+A, or shift+command+G, to sort ascending or descending respectively. This is simpler than the alternative of selecting Pages > Services and the sort command from a menu.

IOS 8, notifications & today task bar

Where is the notifications and Today Tasks bar on the introduction screen on iOS 8 maybe without swiping first? I don't see any email entries? Can I edit or customise the notification center on iOS? I mean, selecting apps on one big introductions screen is just one task of iOS. Starting and app by tapping on an icon is just ONE task on ONE big screen.

SSIS- BPCs OPTIMISE TASK

HI,
The out of the box optimise task, takes an application set offline (if the user select full optimise), and updates / zaps the various fact tables. HOWEVER, it does not put the application set back online.
OK, I added a SystemAvailable task to follow the Admin_optimise Task (and called the package something different).
I added:
TASK(SystemAvailable Task, APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(SystemAvailable,USERID,%USER%)
to the modifyscript, expecting it it work.
Yes it makes the applicationset Available again BUT:
right at the very beginning it asks which Applications you want to optimise, as a free form TEXT BOX.
(if it was any good, it would be a dropdown list showing all applications within the application set, but never mind)
The only application it accepts is an application we have called ADVERTISING. I'm guessing it accepts this, because its the first application (alphabetically speaking) that exists in the appication set. No other application is acceptable to it, and the documentation on this sucks.
What other properties of the SystemAvailable Task do I need to update to get around this, or is this yet another feature of SAP BPC.
If you can help, please......

Gayle,
You have encountered something that I have seen with some specific versions of BPC (don't know exactly which). The problem is that you cannot select more than one application, it believe it only accepts the application that you are logged on to.
I advice you to make an entry at support for this problem.
When I encounter this problem, I normally create an optimize package for each application. I hardcode the application name in this package.
Hope this helps,
Alwin

Alphabetizing help

Hello yet again,
For my computer science class, we need to write a program that alphabetizes a list using a selection sort method.
Is there a way to quickly alphabetize the elements without creating a million if statements?
I have created code to put each word into an arraylist as a seperate string.
Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

CliffSniper wrote:
yes, I have seen that page
however, i'm asking for algorithm helpThat page describes the algorithm. I'm sure you can google for selection sort and find other examples and explanations. If you don't understand some part of it, ask a specific question.
right now, im thinking about assigning each letter of the alphabet a value and sorting the words based on their number value of the first char. Obviously, this is a very repetitive coding task and probably not the most efficient. Is there any specific algorithm for letter alpahbetization?If you're sorting words, you can use String's compareTo method to determine which word is "less than" the other.

Multiple instances of firefox in task manager but FF doesn't open

- Windows XP SP3 (up to date with all critical updates)
- FireFox 25.0.1 (Note: Originally I had version 31 but a few days ago that stopped working)
- Norton Security Suite (the comcast version) up to date
- I have IE6 and Chrome 37 as backup browsers (Note: when FF stopped working, IE8 had also stopped working - page would open, only one system process, but page would never load)
Ran the following scans:
- SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
- Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
- Ad-Aware Antivirus
- Spybot-S&D Start Center
Found a few non-critical yet potential infections (nothing too crazy)
Symptom persists as follows:
- fresh boot of computer
- open task manager (no instances of FF)
- open firefox - process appears in task manager and immediately goes to 50%
(nothing opens and nothing listed in Applications)
- open a second instance of firefox - 2nd process appears in task manager
(still nothing opens and neither instance appears in Applications
(the two instances continue to run at a cumulative 50% CPU usage - one might be 15% and the other running at 35% - or both running at 25% each)
- open a third instance of firefox
(still nothing opens, and all three instances show in task manager processes and cumulatively run at 50% - example:15 +15 + 20 or 10 + 15 + 25)
Troubleshooting:
restored a drive image from May 2014
- Note: Dec 2013 I had done a complete FRESH new install of Windows XP in prep for EOL and installed all updates, including SP3, so the image I chose from May was only 5 months old, but I chose that one because of some of the other programs I had installed that month and didn't want to go through that again
- Note #2: I have drive image run a monthly PQI backup of my C: drive and my R: drive) I have two hard drives 300G each whereas C: drive is OS only and R: drive is all my downloads, my documents, my photos, etc)
- after the image restored, I tried to open FF and IE8, neither app was problematic. FF auto updated from what version, I don't know, but it was on 31 when I realized the problem was BACK. Also ran some WIN critical updates, and IE8 stopped working too!
uninstalled IE8 (rolled back to IE6 and now IE works - but obviously I can not live with IE6 - I need to update that!) uninstalled FF31 (and deleted all temp and profile account folders) and installed a brand new copy of FF25 - whereas I immediately force stopped autoupdater and deleted the update files so I could remain on FF25.
Now FF25 will open only on the second instance of the process (the first will always go to 50% CPU, the second will open and run between 0 and 10 CPU, and only one application in Applications)
- I have learned that I can kill the 50% process using task manager or process explorer and total CPU usage will drop down to 0% - 10%
I can open many many tabs without any problems, and I can right click a link to open a new window and all is good, BUT if I use the desktop ICON, the quick launch ICON or the START > Programs > Icon, then the NEXT process will go to 50% and no second window will open
I have seen dozens of forums that have reported similar memory issues, but none have been resolved.
Can you help me? I don't want to upgrade IE6 to IE8 just yet, but I will not use it for anything but testing until I can upgrade. Note: besides being painfully slow, I have been switching to Chrome, but I have never enjoyed Chrome.... I am using FF right now to ask for help.
Any suggestions?

I have the "techie" answer for all of you. According to the tier 2 support at Norton Help Desk, the latest live update from Norton "utilizes Visual Studio 2012 which enables SSE2 instructions" and my processor can not handle that.
He said they are "working on a solution" and offered to reply back on Wednesday / Thursday this week if a solution could be found...
