AS3 alternatives to _global variable path?

Hi, through out a very old complicated fla there are buttons which set variables using _global paths
such as:
function menu1_2(Event:MouseEvent) {
global.mode = "hide_hotbox";
MovieClip(this).gotoAndStop("stage_1_b");
How can I make the variable "hide_hotbox" and others like it accessible and changeable from any movie clip -- whether they be nested in other movie clips or on the main timeline, etc?
Thank you...(wits end)...extremely appreciated

yes I will
and post the code here
in the meantime, I'm also going to ask as a side note on future threads: how can one keep up with scripting trends and expected actionscript changes?
I just have one, very, very complicated website -- and otherwise work in CG, etc. most of my time...a few times a year I make graphical changes to this website but updating it from AS 1 to AS 2 and now AS 3 has been a heart stopping nightmare...I'm sure, absolutely confident, if and when I have a family and children I just will not be able to keep up this site...I plan to scale it down, but, how can one be sure to write code now which has a chance of lasting? Are there trends and viewpoints within the Actionscript community which one could use to anticipate changes in AS 4. I would have put my code on timelines rather than buttons and named all the buttons when I originally created the site in AS 1 if I had known I'd have to refamiliarize myself with the guts and bolts of this monster horrific site once again. When I am senial, this site is dead...it is taking every neuron I have.

How do I make a variable path in AppleScript?

I'm mass distributing an application, and for the next update I want to add customization. My application currently make a folder in the "Documents" folder. The folder is called "MCL_CONFIG". What I need to do is make a unicode text file in "MCL_CONFIG". Since it's going to be used on many different computers the path to where I'm making the new file has to change depending on the user. How can I make a variable path to a non-directory? Here's the section of my code with the problem:
tell application "Finder"
    if folder MCLConfig exists then
    else
        display dialog "Welcome to Mc Launcher! You will only recieve this message once, unless you delete the MCL_CONFIG folder." buttons {"Ok"} default button 1
        make new folder at New_User with properties {name:"MCL_CONFIG"}
    end if
end tell
It's not shown but I set the variable MCLCONFIG to (path to documents folder from user domain) & "MCL_CONFIG" as text.
As a side note how do I make the code look like it does in applescript, here?

You can do something like:
set supportFolder to ((path to application support from user domain) as text)
set appName to "My Spiffy App"
set subFolder to "MCL_CONFIG"
tell application "Finder" -- add application support folders if needed
if not (exists folder (supportFolder & appName)) then
    make new folder at folder supportFolder with properties {name:appName}
    make new folder at result with properties {name:subFolder}
end if
end tell
Edit: it is recommended that the folder in Application Support be named with your application's bundle identifier, but most just use the application name.

Dynamic ORACLE_HOME in env variable PATH not working

Hi,
We have an issue whereby we want the PATH to be dyanmic with respect to the ORACLE_HOME.
Have implemented the solution in 'ORA-12557: TNS:Protocol Adapter Not Loadable' While Running OUI [ID 735400.1 but not working.
We have Windows 2008 R2 server with Oracle 11.2.0.3 client installed.
First when did set to check environment varibales, fouND no env. variable for ORACLE_HOME even though in registry so have set ORACLE_HOME as user env variable.
Have changed system env variable PATH to have %ORACLE_HOME%\bin; at very start
when do PATH to check value shows
literally as %ORACLE_HOME%\bin at start rather than translating to the real physical location as it does with other logical variables.
How can we ensure translates the ORACLE_HOME correctly so PATH is O.K.

How to access _global variables in different domain

hi
i am loading a swf in local and this has to be communicate the swf which was in the server(different domain). using the system.security.allowdomail i can access the variables, but i can't able to access _global variable.
Pls tell how to access _global variable in different domain
Thanks in advance
@flash

Ganesh,
It should work the way you mentioned it. I don't see why it
didn't unless there is a spelling mistake or something. If there
is you should have a got an error message. :-)
I actually don't recommend using globals at all, I would rather
use a PL\SQL Package Specification to define Global Variable.
These variables are valid for the duration of the Session and
they are restricted to Char(255) limit. It reduces the number of
mistakes when converting dates and Such. It also forces the
developers to place all the globals in one place instead of
multiple places. Read Feurstein's book on PL\SQL Programming for
more details.

_global variable lost outside of function?

Vexing riddle: why are my global variables undefined outside
of the functions that use them?
Loading XML file and creating arrays from the child nodes.
Like this:
var modules:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
_global.moduleContents = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i<modules.length; i++) {
_global.moduleContents.push(modules
.attributes.contents);
then I have another function that recursively extracts each
index from _global.moduleContents array and pushes them into a
_global. pageContents array. (see attached code)
I made sure to use _global. in front of all global variables.
The code workd flawlessly in itself. I am able to trace the whole
array or single array indices from within the functions.
But they are undefined outside of the functions! I checked to
make sure there is no local variable of the same names - in every
case I use _global before the variable name.
The crazy part of it is I tried testing some simple functions
with global variables in a new movie to understand the scope issues
and they worked fine!
function messages() {
_global.greetings = ["hello", "hi", "how are you?"];
function sayHi() {
_global.greetings.push("how goes it?");
sayHi();
messages();
trace("this is outside: "+_global.greetings);
Why not in this:

Gotcha, what is happening is that you call a loading script
that basically works in the background of other scripting
operations, you can call multiple load actions and they will all
execute at the same time, because you have your trace call after
the load action and you are not waiting for that file to be loaded
you are getting an 'undefined' var.
You may want to put something in at the end of all of your if
(success) statements like
_global.docstructureLoaded = true;
checkLoadStatus();
then say this on your next load function;
_global.pageContentsLoaded =true;
checkLoadStatus();
then in your root area
checkLoadStatus(){
if(_global.pageContentsLoaded==true && .... ){
//when all your loads are done do this ...
Just to make sure that you arn't calling any other functions,
or moving your timeline ahead before your data gets to the right
place.

Alternative to Substitution Variables

I'm attempting to loop though some logic X number of times based on a user-defined (defined using substitution variable) parameter. Within the loop I need to have user-definable parameter as well. Since substitution variables cannot be used in a loop I'll need an alternative.
Here an example:
accept L_num_recs NUMBER PROMPT 'Enter Number of Records (0-9);
BEGIN
FOR i in 1..&L_num_recs LOOP
parameter1 := &m1
parameter2 := &m2
END LOOP
END;
Because &m1 and &m2 are substitution variables they are bound each time through the loop.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Just assign those subs to local variables and then use the local variables in the loop:
sql>accept l_num_recs number prompt 'Enter Number of Records (0-9): '
Enter Number of Records (0-9): 3
sql>declare
2    v_text1 number := &m1;
3    v_text2 number := &m2;
4 begin
5    for i in 1..&l_num_recs loop
6      dbms_output.put_line( v_text1 );
7      dbms_output.put_line( v_text2 );
8    end loop;
9 end;
10 /
Enter value for m1: 55
old   2:   v_text1 number := &m1;
new   2:   v_text1 number := 55;
Enter value for m2: 77
old   3:   v_text2 number := &m2;
new   3:   v_text2 number := 77;
old   5:   for i in 1..&l_num_recs loop
new   5:   for i in 1..        3 loop

Alternative for session variable in OBIEE Translation

Hi all,
I am working on translating OBIEE reports to various languages. I am using specific xmls for particular language which has entries for translated text.
Now in few of the reports I have case statements/BINs defined in column formula. This 'column formula' content is not a part of xml and hence not getting translated.
One of the solution that i found was use of language specific session variable defined in rpd. When user logins with specific language, corresponding translated text is provided by session variable. This approach was correct and is working fine.
But the problem is in few of my reports there are about hundreds of such case statements and hence thousands of texts to be translated for each particular language. hence it is a cumbersome task to define session variable for each of these column formula. Plus I am not sure about the performance issue that will be there after defining thousands of such session variables.
Is there any alternative available for use session variable in OBIEE translation? Please reply.

Hi,
Check if this helps-

Environment variable PATH and Sql*Plus

Hi all,
i have a problem with sqlplus.
It might seem not to be able to read the path environment variable.
I need to launch some sqls without typing their path (to put the path i should modify morre than 300 shell scripts), e.g.: @script.sql.
My shell scripts are invoked by the database using java.
Inside the shell scripts we have commands like "sqlplus -silent <login> @script.sql [parameters]"
So if sqlplus is not able to read the PATH environment variable, the command hangs waiting for something to do without the chance to close it.(it is silent).
I run RDBMS v8.1.7 on compaq tru64 Unix.
Can someone help me??
Thanks in advance.
Marco - Milan, Italy

Where do I set SQL*Plus SQLPATH variable??As every other unix environment variable - either in your profile or in your current shell whatever you like
Is this the PATH where SQL*Plus searches for .sql
files??SQL*Plus searches for your files in your current directory, and then the directories you specify with the SQLPATH environment variable.
SQL*Plus searches this colon-separated list of directories in the order they are listed.

[AS3] reference to stage variable from MC

Hi!
At the begining I'm sory for my English ;)
I've been coding in AS2 for a while, but now I decided to try
AS3. The situation is like:
- I've got one Movie Clip on a stage
- I have a code in the 1st frame of the Main Timeline:
var somevar:String = "somevalue"
- I have a code in the 1st frame of the Movie Clip's
timeline:
trace(root.somevar) // error
trace(parent.somevar) // error
How to trace that variable?? The same is with stopping the
Main Timeline's playback.
parent.stop() and root.stop() don't work :(
HEEELLLP MEEE! ;)
