Basic AS3 Question
I have a function that I want to use to add a movie clip from
the library to the stage. Anyone have the code for that?
If you have a movie clip in libruary, right click on it and
chose "linkage", then check "Export for Action Script", and write
down the name in "Class" field. After that you can use this name as
usual class name, for example:
var myClip:myClipClassName= new myClipClassName();
addChild(myClip);

I have some Basic iPhoto questions before I start using the program:
- does iPhoto apply any compression or change images in any way when they
are imported?
- after images are imported, can the original source folder of images be deleted off of the mac?
- can Quicktime files exported from iPhoto be viewed on a Windows computer?
- can iPhoto handle large resolution images that might be as large as 8-15mb each? does it display them quick? are there any known file size issues?
Thanks!!!!kat.
Is there a way to use iPhoto on a network so other users can read and possibly write to an iPhoto library on a networked mac?
iPhoto is a consumer level photo organiser, not a server. It's possible to share photos but libraries are very difficult and fraught with the danger of database corruption. Some have reported success.
Is it possible to password protect or secure certain images in the library so they can not be seen by anyone?
No. The best I can suggest there is to create a second library and store it in a secure area like a protected dmg. But remember, you can only have one library open at a time.
After photos are deleted from iPhoto, are there any remaining traces or cached files anywhere other than the trash
If you delete photos from iPhoto and empty the iPhoto trash then the pics are removed from the Finder as well. They remain as findable as any other deleted file from that point, which is, very, if the searcher in knowledgeable.

Object class deployment - Basic form question
OK, I subclass calendar object from Oracle provided standard
object class. What do I need to deploy to use this form now
apart from calendar.pll and my fmx. What about the object class
from which I sub-class. Do I need to compile and deploy that
also? How will form resolve this on run time the parent object
class as I really did not copy, just sub class and we do not
deploy original class? Basic form question. Thanks.You can set the "help" property on the field (which gives you the little "information" icon link beside the field).
You could also try adding another field of another class above or below:
<Display class='InlineAlert'/>
<Display class='ErrorMessage'/>
<Display class='HtmlPage'/>

Adding Date/Time Field + X Number of Days - Basic Calculation Question
I am assuming this is a basic calculation question. New to Adobe LiveCycle Forms.
I have a simple form containing a table. The table appears as such:
Text
Formatted as Date/Time Fields
Header 3
Monday
user wil choose the beginning date (Date/Time) this is DateTimeField1
Tuesday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 1
Wednesday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 2
Thursday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 3
Friday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 4
Saturday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 5
Sunday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 6
Calculations are performed after the date is chosen for Monday. My mind tells me the simple calculation of DateTimeField1 + 1 is not going to work (and in fact doesn't!) as it needs to change Monday to a number first. I saw on another thread the following:
Num2Date(Date2Num(Date(DateTimeField1), "DD.MM.YYYY")+7, "DD.MM.YYYY")
Thought this was going to get me close. No cigars though!
Any quick help is greatly appreciated. And since I am new to this, details about what needs to be changed would be great too!
ThanksHere an addition for you date field.
This FormCalc script in the exit:Event will check it the selected date is on a monday.
If not it will go the days back until the last monday.
var Selection = Date2Num($.formattedValue, DateFmt(2))
var WeekDay = Num2Date(Selection, "E")
var NewDate
if (WeekDay eq 1) then
NewDate = Selection - 6
elseif (WeekDay eq 3) then
NewDate = Selection - 1
elseif (WeekDay eq 4) then
NewDate = Selection - 2
elseif (WeekDay eq 5) then
NewDate = Selection - 3
elseif (WeekDay eq 6) then
NewDate = Selection - 4
elseif (WeekDay eq 7) then
NewDate = Selection - 5
else
NewDate = Selection
endif
$ = Num2Date(NewDate, "EEE DD.MM.YYYY")
Hope this helps, too. -
My main question is a very basic exporting question, but here is a super-condensed explanation of my big-picture goal for context:
Large (~450 MB) aiff on CD --> trim w/ Quicktime --> small (~16 MB) MP3 in iTunes
I would like to take an audio file (aiff) that is approximately 450 MB and export it from Quicktime and in doing so, reduce the file size and convert it to MP3. When I simply try to export it, it doesn't ask me about what size I want, nor does it give the option of MP3 formatting.
I have figured out how to reach my goal, but it's a mess. After I make my trims in QT, I have to:
1. select "share" instead of "export".
2. It asks me what size I want and I select small.
3. The file is then exported as a Quicktime movie into Mail and the size is reduced from 450 MB to about 20 MB.
4. I then have to "right-click" on the attachment in the email that is created,
5. save the attachment,
6. discard the email,
7. import the file into iTunes, and
8. create an MP3 in iTunes to finally arrive at my goal.
This seems like a ridiculously convoluted process to change a large aiff to a small MP3 and put it in iTunes. Any suggestions?Thanks. I guess the basic answer to my question is that it can't be done in one or two fell swoops. The problem is that it starts on a burned disc, and I need to make edits to it before it ends up in iTunes (to be eventually used in iWeb). I was hoping to avoid juggling back and forth between iTunes and QT. I either would have to send it back to QT to do the edits after -->iTunes-->mp3, or import the large file from the CD to QT, make the edits, save changes, import large file to iTunes, convert to mp3.

Basic Flash/AS3 Question - Please help!
I am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?
ActionScript Code I have that needs to be altered:
stop();
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 1);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerListener);
function timerListener (e:TimerEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("over1");
image1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, image1overFunc);
function image1overFunc(e:MouseEvent):void {
myTimer.start();stop();
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 1);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerListener);
function timerListener (e:TimerEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("over1");
image1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, image1overFunc);
image1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, image1outFunc);
function image1overFunc(e:MouseEvent):void { myTimer.start();
function image1outFunc(e:MouseEvent):void {
myTimer.reset(); -
Hi,
I'm trying to learn AS3. I was very comfortable with AS2, but
now even the most basic things seem impossible for me. If someone
could give me a hand with this I would really appreciate it. This
is a basic AS2 example that I want to be able to replicate in AS3
and from them learn more about the logic behind it:
In AS2:
I could have a movie clip act like a button, and add
properties to it to be called later.
// myClip is a movie clip on the stage
// create a new property for it: temperature
myClip.temperature = '57F';
// have the clip trace the value of temperature once it is
pressed
myClip.onPress = function(){
trace (this.temperature);
so the question is, how do you do something like this in AS3.
I have tried many different ways and none seem to work.
Thanks so much for any help.SummerLongSince,
> I'm trying to learn AS3. I was very comfortable with

me.
Have you read any of the migration articles published in
Adobe's Dev
Center? These may likely give you a good, general purpose
start with the
new stuff.
> In AS2:
> I could have a movie clip act like a button, and add
properties
> to it to be called later.
This hasn't changed in AS3; not in principle, anyway. In
your example
code, the event handling syntax has changed.
> myClip.temperature = '57F';
> myClip.onPress = function(){
> trace (this.temperature);
> }
In AS3, that could be rendered like this:
myClip.buttonMode = true;
myClip.temperature = "57F";
myClip.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(evt.target.temperature);
Let's take a quick look at the differences. The first line
instructions
Flash Player to show the finger cursor when the mouse is
rolled over the
myClip instance. Without that line, the event handling still
takes place,
but because this is a movie clip symbol and not a button, the
cursor does
not automatically change from the default arrow shape.
The second line is identical to the first line in your
example. I used
double quotes, but it doesn't make any difference in this
case.
The remaining lines show the biggest difference. The
structure of AS3
event handling goes like this:
object.addEventListener(eventToListenFor, functionToPerform);
There are additional parameters (optional) you may provide
after these
first two, but the ones shown are the basic necessities: what
am I
listening for? what should I do when I encountered the
dispatched event.
As you can see, I split these two parameters over a number
of lines, but
the principle is the same (and honestly, not unlike the
principle in the AS2
version ... even there, the same concept applies: what am I
listening for?
what should I do when that thing occurs?).
AS3 event handling is similar to one of the *four* (yes,
four!) ways
event handling was possible in AS2. There was the
on()/onClipEvent()
approach, the newer dot notation approach (as used in your
example), the
addListener() method, and finally (for v2 Components) the
addEventListener()
method. In AS3 -- barring a teensy example or two in video
programming --
event handling is managed the same way. This consistency,
alone, marks a
significant improvement to me. Once you know it, you know it.
Not that instead of the global "this" property, the AS3
version's
trace() statement refers to the expression evt.target. The
variable evt
(short for "event") is found between the parentheses of the
function
literal. The name evt is arbitrary, but it refers to the
MouseEvent
instance passed into the function when the
MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN event is
dispatched. The MouseEvent instance features a target
property, and in AS3,
that property refers to the object that dispatched the event
in the first
place, which makes the expression "evt.target" equivalent to
"this" in this
case. An alternative would simply be to replace
avt.target.temperature with
myClip.temperature in the trace() statement.

Few basic SRM questions .......
I recently completed the SRM training from SAP and I have few basic questions and need help. Full points will be rewarded.
These are my questions and it is based on SRM 5.0 Classic Scenario with R/3 backend
1. Invoice & confirmation transferred to R/3 via ALE ? . All other documents are transferred to R/3 via RFC?
2. Based on the configuration, if the material is available in the backend then reservation will be created. Other wise PO will be created. For text items, PR will be created.
a. Who (purchaser) will process the PR in R/3 and how it is processed?.
b. Who (purchaser?) will process the reservation in R/3 and how it is
processed?. Assume no sourcing is setup in this case and No MRP run.
3. How the vendor is linked to the Material or product category in SRM?. During the vendor replication from R/3, vendor and material/prod category link is automatically maintained?
4. How the vendor is linked to a specific purchasing org/group? Is it based on the prod category assigned in the org structure for each purchasing org or purchasing group?
5. How to do delta prod category replication?
6. How to do Delta Material Replication?.
7. Contracts and vendor list:-
In our SAP training we created these from the browser. But in the actual
implementation how do we create this?. Is it always from the browser?
8. Direct Material and Plan driven Procurement.
Can we use catalog items as direct material?. Just for example - > What
about Car Batteries that is directly used in production and has the inventory
also. But we are using electronic catalog for procuring this item. Is it possible to
order this as direct material?
9. How to replicate Plant. How to use DNL_PLNT?. Is BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL will replicate all the PLANT's and its locations from the R/3 backend?
10. In the HR system, which transaction we can view the org structure?Hi

You can use the following three routines to download locations from the backend system and store them as business partners in SAP Enterprise Buyer.
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL
To get all the location numbers from each backend system that is connected
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_FROM_SYSTEM
To get all the location numbers from one particular backend system
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_SELECTED
To get selected locations
Previously, locations were not given business partner numbers in SAP Enterprise Buyer. If you are configuring an upgrade, you can use routines BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_FROM_SYSTEM and BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_SELECTED to check that the following conversions have been made:
· Conversion of user favorites
· Conversion of user attributes
· Conversion of old documents
Routine BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL checks these automatically.
Once you have run the routines, the location data is available in the SAP Enterprise Buyer system. Table BBP_LOCMAP contains the mapping information (in other words, which business partner number corresponds to which location in which backend system).
For more information, see SAP Note 563180 Locations for EBP 4.0 plant replication

I just started looking at swing yesterday because I want to provide a GUI to replace a command line utility we use. I've basically finished it but have a quick question about form - I will get some literature later but would like to get a feel from the people here. If you have a JFrame with a few JPanels each which contain some other components, what is the best practice for variable declaration? Should I just declare the variables locally or should I make them instance variables? The reason I ask is that I have a button that submits a message but that message is dependant on check boxes, etc. from from the frame. If I declare them at the method level I then have to start passing them around whereas if I declare them as instance variables I can access them very easily BUT this may not be good form.
For example:
my class is SendMessageToo so in the main method I have a line like:
final SendMessageToo smt = new SendMessageToo();
now all the instance variables that I have can be accessed my the methods simply using smt.methodOne(), etc. Does that seem OK or is it just pure crap? :-)Thanks, that was something that crossed my mind before I just made eveything an instance variable. It was during that process that I thought, do these all need to be instance variables? Then I thought, SHOULD they all be instance variables. At that point my brain imploded so I came here. :)

Very basic compiling question: multiple c files
Hi,
I've been playing with alchemy for a few days, and hit a road block. I'm sure there is an easy answer, but I can't find it...
I have a .c file "alchemy_project.c" that lets me call 3 functions from actionscript. I have the basic main() function that sets up the functions and calls
AS3_LibInit(result);
It is working well. However, I want to add another c file "support_functions.c" with a function I can call from "alchemy_project.c".
int testFunction(){
int i;
i = 2;
return i;
I made a header file "support_functions.h":
int testFunction();
I included this header in "alchemy_project.c" by placing it after my AS3.h include:
#include "AS3.h"
#include "support_functions.h"
I compile with:
alc-on
gcc alchemy_project.c support_functions.c -Wall -swc alchemy_project.swc
When I run my flash file, it gives:
Undefined sym: _main
If I add a main function to support_functions.c:
int main(){
return 0;
I get:
[object AlchemyExit]
Any tips?
Thanks for the help!This helped me a little bit:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/465926

gcc -c file1.c -o file1.o
gcc -c file2.c -o file2.o
then link them with

I don't get any errors about main(), but actionscript gives me the error:
Undefined sym: _testFunction
when alchemy_project.c tries to call the testFunction() function in support_functions.c -
Switching to mac, basic noob questions
Hi, I'm new to this. I have some xmas and bday money and i need a laptop. I have two desktop PC's (one XP and one Vista) and have had PC's all my life. I feel like switching it up and giving macs a try, it would make my purchase more fun. I've done some research and i think i want the black macbook with 2 gigs of ram. Here are some questions i need answered before going much further.
1.) I notice that every 6 months new macbook models come out. I also noticed that the last three (at least) have been very similar in hardware. Is it common that the new macbook probably coming out in the summer will be unvieled at macworld? If there is a big difference i might wait, i don't want to get the last model in a product line. Id the difference is another slight processor speed increase i won't bother waiting. As far as i know this isn't available information yet, so i'm just looking for a 'usually they do/don't' type of response.
2.) Is the apple care support really all it's cracked up to be? I'm not about to let my purchase go to waste on me, but at the same time if the support is rarely needed i might not bother. I'm a student and don't have too much money to blow if it's usually a waste. I generally like getting the warrenty for my things, i'm just looking for a more experienced opinion.
3.) Are the Apple stores in the Best Buys independent from Best Buy, or are they the same? I would like to put the 900 or so dollars i can down on this and put the rest of my best buy card to pay off over the next few months.
4.) If they're the same, does anyone know if the apple computers fall under best buy's "no interest for blank months of purchases over black?"
thanks!Hi Thomes08!
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like you're in the process of making an excellent decision to go with a 2.2GHz "BlackBook" and up your RAM to 2.0GB. I think you'll be extremely pleased with your purchase.
1.) Unfortunately, these forums are not designed to be used as a means of product speculation. Matter of fact, it's against the Terms of Use (of these discussion pages) to speculate on upcoming product releases. We'll have to wait the 2-weeks for Mac World to see what comes out, there's no way to have any insight into the excitement that Steve's Keynote brings to technology.
2.) I'm a big fan of AppleCare, mostly because it ensures peace of mind over the reliability of my product for the 3-years that it'll serve as my primary machine. While, I've had multiple Macs last beyond 3-years, I also typically swap it out for the "latest and greatest." Especially with a portable and your student discount. The cost of APP for a MacBook is a relatively "no brainer" especially if you consider the cost (for parts & labor) of even the most basic repairs if the machine falls out of warranty.
3. I'm not entirely familiar with the logistics of the agreement that Apple has with Best Buy, so I'd rather not speculate. I do know that Apple also offers financing options through BML (Bill Me Later) and Juniper Bank, but I'm unfamiliar with the specifics of a split payment. Buying an Apple product through Best Buy still entitles you to all the same "benefits" of ownership, so there's no advantage (or disadvantage) to shop @ Best Buy. -
4 basic java questions..
ok so I already learned Java last year (in grade 11), but my teacher didn't really teach anything, we learnt everything by ourselves from the API... so theres a lot of things I actually don't understand, but for now I want to ask 4 basic questions:
1. What does static mean?
2. Why would u "final" a constant variable? ie. If you have a variable called SIZE which is set to 5, so if u want it to be a constant, just never change its value. But what does the keyword final do to it?
3. What's super? I see it sometimes, and my teacher showed us in the applet exampls to use super.paint(g) or somethign like that for the paint method, but I never use that because I noticed it works fine without it..
4. Whats a question mark? I saw a game that was made in java and it had a lot of places where it had a question mark , which was part of the syntax. For example,
int j1 = i != 0 ? i - 1 : 199;
OR
JUMPVEL = (fSuperSlime) ? 65 : 31;
I really don't understand these lines...
feel free to answer any of these questions...wow cool...thanks.. that question mark thing is nice
saves a few lines..
now, about super, so u mean u can access the parent
class's variables?Variables, methods, constructors, if the access level is such that it's allowed.
This will be covered in any tutorial or text though.

Basic database question, and subscribe/unsubscribe code
Hi there
Although I've created and manage a website, and about a million years ago I worked with databases, I'm still a bit green and in need of some help ...
I have the website based on my local machine (laptop). I want to use a subscribe/unsubscribe for a newsletter via the website.
Before I go ahead with this, I need to clarify a very basic database issue ... would I have to always leave my laptop running in order for people to be able to subscribe to the newsletter on the website, i.e. will it still connect to the database if the laptop is not running?
I'm using Dreamweaver 3, so I hope I can use this version to connect with a database? I did install Dreamweaver 4 on one occasion with the intent of upgrading the website to it, but because I'm still a bit unsure of myself and was unfamiliar with the changes the newer version created, I decided to leave it on Dreamweaver 3 rather than risk stuffing the website up completely!
I also have Dreamweaver UltraDev but for some reason it won't install.
I'm hoping to follow instructions given on Dreamweaver Developer Centre for setting up a PHP development environment (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_php.html).
If anyone would be so kind as to advise whether I'm on the right track with all this, using Dreamweaver 3, that'd be great!
Also, I'm sure this is unlikely, but is there any way to include a subscribe-unsubscribe without having to actually use a database?
Many thanks in advance :-)
Cheers, ChrissieThanks for your help and advice - much appreciated. I'm going to go the way
of hosting, as you suggest, and save myself the heartache
Quoting jj12689 <[email protected]>:
To answer your first question, yes your laptop needs to be powered on
for users to be able to access the database and subscribe/unsubscribe.
There is another way of doing it, but it requires more work on your
part. You could make an online program that would generate SQL
statements and place them in a text document on the server. Every time a
user subscribes/unsubscribes it would add them to the end of the text
document. Then you could make an update button on a back-end admin page
that you would have to push that would take that text file, open it and
take the sql statements and submit it to the database on your computer.
I would advise against this method, since it is time consuming, and not
very fast for today's world. I would recomend using a server based
database, if the host you currently have dose not have a database, I
would recomend finding another host. I use surpasshosting.com for my
hosting because they are cheap, reliable, and have all the requirements
I need.

Premiere Elements 7 Basic Editing Question for DV
Hello all,
I have PE7, a Q6600 quad-core, and Windows 7 64bit.
I have captured about 6 hours of Standard Definition 16:9 DV footage from my church's grand opening ceremony. Video was captured from an old Pana PV-GS320.
The church wants a dynamic video to be produced from the captured footage (60 minutes at the most in length). I plan on doing many different effects including semi-transparent video layering, picture in picture, inserting photographs, and inputing audio clips from the ceremony. The final product will be a standard definition DVD disc.
I've done some research regarding how DV is interlaced and output for DVD should be interlaced (unless I'm wrong in that conclusion, let me know). I also know that doing heavy editing with interlaced footage (slowing/speeding footage, zooming in and out, rotating, multiple layering, etc) may create flickering and "mice teeth" in the video. I've also searched through these forums and keep on running into HD questions/solutions... I guess I'm asking an old question that was probably answered long ago when DV tape ruled the world.
QUESTION 1:
So, if I may ask, in order to get the best results, should I prepare my raw footage in PE7 before editing it by (1) by deinterlacing it? (2) exporting it as progressive? (3) both? (4) leave it alone and begin editing away? or (5) am I missing another option?
QUESTION 2:
Also, what resolution would be best to import the photos into the project?
I know the best way to work with any video is to make as little changes as possible to it, but this is unavoidable in my case. No one wants to sit through 6 hours of video...
Thankyou very much for reading my questions and I really hope you have some time to answer it! Thanks for any information! I really appreciate it!
-141rockwellRelax, rockwell. You're making it all unnecessarily complicated.
If you've captured your video as DV-AVIs over a FireWire connection, you won't get "mice teeth" in your final product. The program is designed to work with interlaced video and create interlaced DVDs. The results should look virtually as good as the original footage! You can't damage video with "excess editing."
Just trust the program to take care of the technical issues. You can concentrate on the editing.
As for any photos you want to add, you'll get the best results if they're no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size, per the FAQs to the right of the forum.
