Animate Song Lyrics within a custom length marquee

I am looking for a way to display the lyrics of a song
beneath a centered picture.
I want the lyrics to scroll within a custom length marquee
(approximately 3" centered)
Now the hard part;
I want to have a 'ball' (round dot) 'bounce' upon each of the
lyric words in sync with the music.
Is there a way to do this with HTML or is this something that
I might be able to do using Flash?
With appreciation,
Charles

A script to pick up song lyrics from the web - feedback

Below is a PC implementation of this script written by Chris Schull which uses google to grab the lyrics of the selected song in iTunes and add them to the tags for the song.
Enjoy Andrew's first go at converting an Applescript to .net for the PC. I guess it is written in C++ since the file he gave me is .cs ?

On the iPhone 4: where are the song times within an album in iTunes Store?

Has anyone noticed that song time (or track time) has been omitted from the view of album contents in the iTunes Store on the iPhone 4? If one takes an iPhone 3 running ios 3.1.3 and looks up an album in the iTunes Store and checks the songs listed within the album, the time of each song is shown in light gray before the buy/price button. However, if the same procedure is done with an iPhone 4, the time of each song within the album is missing! (Search an album on each phone—such as the Beatles’ Revolver—see the list of songs included and observe the difference.) Since it has nothing to do with the iTunes Store itself, why is this? In my internet search, I have not found a comment about this curious omission of important information—the length of a song (certainly useful before one buys a song from an album or if one compares various versions of the same musical composition by different artists). Because song time is available in iTunes online by using a computer, why not show this on the current iPhone 4 since it can be seen on an iPhone 3 that still uses ios 3.1.3?

You can't on your phone, you can only gift the album - you will need to use your computer's iTunes

Song Lyrics on iPod

I noticed that a some of the songs on my iPod have their lyrics also on the iPod. I was wondering how the lyrics get onto my iPod and if I could get the lyrics for other songs as well.
Thanks.
iPod Video 30gb Mac OS X (10.4.8)

With recent versions of iTunes you can add Lyrics to your songs. On each song's info screen in iTunes there is a tab for Lyrics.
You can download them as well as Album Art (Covers) with various free software available on the Internet. There are also several widgets which will do the same thing.
Check the Widgets site at www.Apple.com. You can also do a search (type in Lyrics) within VersionTracker at the following link ...

How to reuse standard Activity subcomponents - Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within a custom work center?

Requirement : We have a requirement to reuse the standard Activity subcomponents Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within a custom work centre. The requirement is to leverage and copy all sub functionalities Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails available within the standard activity work center. This feature is available within Accounts, Opportunities, Leads etc. (Refer screenshot: Std_Act_Screen.jpg)
We are unable to consume/embed the standard Activity (Work center) sub components Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within the custom work center. This is because of backend consistency check violation UI designer error message displayed. (Refer screenshot:Error while consuming standard activities.jpg)
Ø Open Question:
a. Is there a limitation to consume/embed the standard Activity (Work center) subcomponents Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within a custom work center? We have noticed that this standard Activity Work center subcomponents Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails has been repeatedly reused within the application in Account, Opportunity, Sales lead, Lead, Sales Quote Objects.

Hebrew language is shown gibberish in songs lyrics

Hi,
I have just got my new iPhone 5.After syncing the new device with iTunes, all songs lyrics in Hebrew are now shown in gibberish and cannot be read.
I have re-checked the songs info and these show the text correctly.
I was using iPhone 4 and never had this problem.
HELP anyone?
Thanks!

I tried the "convert ID3 tags >> Reverse Unicode" option on a few songs. It only caused the gibberish song names and titles to change to different gibberish.
The odd thing is that I have some songs that had english in some ID3 tags (such as "name") and Japanese in other ID3 tags (such as "artist") and for those, the Japanese text looks great. And yet some song text doesn't.
I tried deleting a few songs from the iTunes Music library, then click-and-drag the songs from Windows' My Music folder into the iTunes program. It adds it back with the Japanese text still unreadable, same as before.
I don't know what else to do. I've searched the discussions database here and found instances of the same problem but no fixes.
Thanks for the help though, and I'd be glad to see any other ideas.

WebLogic Server 7.0: Including another JSP from within a custom tag

Hi all,
          has anyone made experience with including (ie. processing) a dynamic
          resource (JSP) from within a custom JSP tag?
          Using the following code inside doEndTag():
          pageContext.include("/templates/blub.jsp");
          throws a ServletException (Note: the JSP is a part of the web app
          which is deployed as war). Does it make a difference if the web
          application is warred up into and therefore include cannot resolve the
          specified relative URL?

IPhone doesn't display song lyrics

Since last iOS update (4.3.3) my iPhone doesn't display song lyrics anymore. That is, it displays only when I switch back to the album cover view and back to the lyrics view. When the next song starts, again only album cover art remains visible with the scrolling bar at the top, but lyrics is missing. Tap once to remove scrolling bar at the top, tap again and both scrolling bar and lyrics appear. And so for almost all tracks. Last iOS update to 4.3.4 didn't change anything here. Any ideas?

when ? - maybe with next firmware upgrade? - I don't perceive this as a hardwared issue, but a firmware update issue? would you agree?

What app will let me organize multiple pdfs so I can put song lyric pdfs in the order I sing them

I want to use my iPad to view my song lyrics in pdf form as I perform. I'd like to be able to customize the order in which the pdfs are stored so that I can have a different set of songs for different shows. I also want to just swipe from song #1 to song #2 in my set so don't have to search for a thing while onstage. Did I mention I want to be able to change the order of songs in the set and also have multiple sets in a night. 3 sets of 10 to 12 songs each show with the ability to change the order of songs/pdfs for each show. I also have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4s and I can use dropbox or iCloud or many other storage options if this helps. I'd like to be sure how many pdfs I can store in my iPad also since not all of my shows have wifi connections.

You can try Quickoffice Pro

How do I get song lyrics to display?

How do I get song lyrics to display on my iPod Touch 4g and iPad 2?
The lyrics are in iTunes. They do display on my iPod Touch 2g.
I did try a reset on the iPod Touch 4g, but did not fix problem.
Thanks to anybody who can help

The word "lyrics" is never displayed, but if you paste lyrics into a song, they'll be shown when you press the centre button "enough" times. Note that if there are _no lyrics_ associated with the song (because you didn't put them there) the "button pushes" will take you from On/Off (the shuffle feature) to Play - no mention of lyrics!
I hope that helps!

How can I see song lyrics in iOS 5.0?

Before updating my iPad 2, I could see lyrics for the song playing just by touch the screen in "iPod" app (the screen in which the album cover appears). But now I can't see the lyrics at all, and I'm sure they're attached to the songs (I can see them in my iPod nano 5th; I sync the same songs between iPad and iPod). How can I do it now? Is there some way of seeing the lyrics, or the functionality was removed at all?
And, of course, is there anyone else having this same problem?
Thank you all =D

This may be a bug for all that I know but I am too cynical to believe that.
From everything that I have read, it appears as though Apple did remove the feature. What the reasons could be for that are beyond me. And I did find the paragraph that states that feature exists in the iPad. I copied this from the iPad User Guide for iOS 5. The free book that I downloaded in iBooks.
"Display a song’s lyrics
Display the album cover by tapping the thumbnail at the top of the screen. Lyrics appear if you’ve added them to the song using the song’s Info window in iTunes."
However, who knows with Apple anymore. Case in point - Apple changed the wording on their website about multitouch gestures being one of the new features of iOS 5, a day or two after the update came out. They decided to release the feature to work on the iPad 2 only - even though the website promoted the feature as being one of the new features for the "iPad" for months leading up to the release - leading all users to believe that it would work on the iPad 1 as well. I don't know if you read any of those threads but the screaming is finally starting to die down on that one.
My point is that even thought the guide says that the song lyrics works, I have not read of anyone that can confirm that it does. Maybe someone else will confirm that the feature is in the iOS, but I don't believe that it is. So for the time being - for me anyway - it is not a bug - but another "why did they do that" decision by Apple.

Retrieve data from AD from within a custom sharepoint 2010 webpart

Hi,
I have a requirement to retrieve user data from AD and display from within a custom built webpart.
I am using the PrincipalContext class etc to get the info from AD, i have sucesfully done this in a console program without having to specifiy a username/password.
In the webpart i have successfully retrieved the data by hard coding my domain username/password.
Any ideas what i could do to get the webpart to retrieve information from AD without having to specify username/password?
thanks cjm

Hi C.J,
I wrote an example of this using credentials stored in the Secure Store in the TechNet Wiki. The article is here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20110.sharepoint-retrieving-credentials-from-the-secure-store-application-using-c.aspx
There's an example in the above article about building a webpart that connects to AD using the credentials.

Tiles + JSF error (Illegal to flush within a custom tag)

What worked for me was to add a flush="false" to each of the <tiles:insert tags in my layout page.
I'm using this with JSF so it may be different for you:
... Layout stuff ...
   <tiles:insert attribute="body" flush="false" />
... More layout stuff, including more inserts with the flush="false" ....

Best approach to using command link from within a custom component

I have created a navigation component "Menu" , used as follows:
<custom:menu />The contents of menu are stored in an xml file and the Menu component delegates the rendering to a custom renderer, which basicaly writes out html links. (Actually, the component does a lot more, but I'm simplifying to get to the point.).
Sometimes, I need to render a command link instead of a regular html link. I don't want to re-invent the wheel here, so I want to delegate this to the standard command link components.
Approach 1: create child components within the Menu component constructor, e.g.
HtmlCommandLink c = new HtmlCommandLink();
          MethodExpression e = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getExpressionFactory().
               createMethodExpression(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext(),
               "#{registrationEditor.enterSubmission}",
               String.class,
               new Class[] { });
          c.setActionExpression(e);
          c.setValue("TestLink");
          c.setTransient(true);
          getChildren().add(c);Approach 2: delegate to the CommandLinkRenderer within my custom renderer, e.g.CommandLinkRenderer delegate = new CommandLinkRenderer();
                    HtmlCommandLink link = new HtmlCommandLink();
                    ExpressionFactory elFactory =
                         FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
                    MethodExpression actionExpression =
                         elFactory.createMethodExpression(context.getELContext(), c.getExpression(), String.class, new Class[] {});
                    link.setActionExpression(actionExpression);
                    link.setParent(component.getParent());
                    link.setValue(c.getLabel());
                    delegate.encodeBegin(context, link);
                    delegate.encodeChildren(context, link);
                    delegate.encodeEnd(context, link);Is either of these a respectable approach - they feel a little hackish. If so, which do you prefer. If not, what do you recommend?
Thanks

I think either is a fine approach and not at all hackish. I prefer the second, although I couldn't tell you why (just a gut feeling). That said, I haven't tried either so there may be hidden problems. My main concern would be what happens when the request is submitted from the page, that the Restore View phase is done correctly so that the proper event is fired.

Changing state of application from within a custom component

Hello, I have several custom components all of which are included in the parent application.
When I try to change state from a custom component, I get an error saying "undefined state: state name". How do I change the state of the application from within a custom component ? All the states are defined in the parent application.

@linrsvp,
If you are using Flex3 try Application.application.currentState = "somestate";
If you are using Flex4 try FlexGlobas.topLevelApplication.currentState = "somestate";
Don't forget to import the corresponding namespaces for the above.
Thanks,
Bhasker
