Basic functionality in spry would rule!

Here is a problem that should be extremely simple to fix.
However ExtJS/Spry left out some basic functionality, like ...
accessing a Grids' properties. Take a gander at the documentation
(since adobe provides virtually none), @
http://www.extjs.com/deploy/dev/docs/
Make your way down to ... API Documentation > Ext >
grid. You will notice that there are no way to access a grids'
properties, such as it's name ....
Do I need to role my own basic functions?

You're kinda all over the place here.
Are you using CF8's built in AJAX features or did you
implement ExtJS yourself?
ExtJS is not Spry.
The link you supplied is for ExtJS v2.1. CF8 is using v1.0 or
v1.1 (I forget which). v2+ has major differences over v1.x.
You can pretty much do anything under the sun with ExtJS. It
is extremely robust to the point that it can be quite complex. I'm
sure that you can do anything that you need to, it may just take
some digging over at ExtJS to find it.

Passing values to a function from spry:repeat

Is this a viable solution?

may help with error handling???
Thanks,
Victor Corey
I know u could use functions in Spry if, im
using them my self i should show a row based on cookie values ( the
function checks if certain data is in a cookie, and if its there it
shows the row).
I was about to use the same technique for my own project my
self to, so i thought it would be a good way to gather certain
data, based on what u get returned from your own data set.
And if u add a javascript block, each time u repeat it, it
has to be created. its allot smaller size wise to create a little
span (or u can even add it to the repeat self). That was basicly
the reason why i suggested using a spry:if ^_^

Basic functions (high) in query formula for highest # of days past due

Hi All,
I hope you can help. I am trying to create a formula in a query for FIAR Line Item Cube (0fiar_c03). I would like to calculate the hightest number of days past due for open line items. There is an operator 'high' in basic functions within the query formula. Is it possible to use this?
Regards,

There is a workaround usind conditions.That is you can try to filter the top 10 % or top 10 after calculating the no of days past.However this way you will not be displaying complete dataset

Inspire 5.1 Digital 5600 - LOSE BASIC FUNCTIONALITY?

Hi all,
We will see if this gets edited. This is in addition to the original message, as I have no answers, just more questions. I have bought Creative products all my life, Ill leave it up to you in deciding wether I will in the future. If anyone actually knows a way around these problems, please let me know. Im sure I wont have a reply from Creative, but I will live in hope that I get a personally deli'vered set of speakers that adds to my options, not diminishes them!.
Well, I have XP Pro SP2, Audigy DE and just bought Inspire 5.1 Digital 5600 to upgrade from my cheaper analog 5.1 speakers that sounded OK and worked fine. I read all about the 5600's and thought - better sound, heaps of connection options etc. Their NOT exactly cheap! The point I would like to make is that I had good 5.1 sound, and now I have better sound AND A WHOLE LOT OF HASSLES IN RETURN FOR SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY. WHAT A MISTAKE.
I have THE ONLY AVAILABLE 5.1 connection from my Sound Card to the 5600 speakers, 3.5 mm 4 pole jack to din to din to speakers. (thats simple isnt it!!!) I have all the latest drivers etc, etc, etc.
NOW ...
1) If Im listening to 5.1 ie DVD, You dont get any system OR ANY OTHER sound? (Thats great for when your on the Net and need to know whats happening, isnt it's)
2) So I figure, well Ill connect the SC to the decoder using analog cables, SORRY, YOU CANT DO that unless you want to lose a channell? (for the sakes of one more center\sub jack or using all the pins in the DIN plug.)
3) Well, Ill set the mixer to do AC3 Decode to try and get back any other sound besides 5.1 Dolby, SORRY, that doent work either ... No matter how you have the decoder\Amp set up, you lose the center channel, ie, no voices?!!
4) Well Ill use the passthrough feature as it explaines in the book, SORRY, IT DOENT WORK EITHER, its meant to pass the Dolby Digital straight through to the respective channels, IT DOESNT? You lose the rear channels. I have tried every combination of everything, and you cant get ANY OTHER SOUND when you are playing Dolby Digital 5.1. so you have a "on board decoder" that NOW DOENST WORK and cant be used?
5) Why buy another 5.1 Dolby decoder when your Sound Card\Software already does it ... well I wanted to be able to use the other anolog Sound Card outputs ... SORRY, YOU CANT. When you enable the digital output only in Surround Mixer, IT DISABLES ALL THE OTHER SC output JACKS as well. GREAT!!! so you cant even feed an anolog signal in to it to try and get the "other" sound back that way? THEIR IS NO WAY!
6) All the controls .. ie... Bass Redirection, AC3 Decode, Sub Volume, Center Volume, Balance and fade controls all DONT WORK at ALL when playing 5., and the bass Redirection works backwards whith standard PCM Sound!?
7) The TEST SPEAKER function in Surround Mixer is now useless except for standard stereo. (no wonder they put a test function on the remote!)?
8) Their is bad initial distortion when you ie, fast forward, start, stop ANY Dolby Digital source?
(10 THIS IS THE BEST ONE - They DONT TELL YOU ANYWHERE about any of this stuff?, Unless Im stupid, I dont feel these speakers are fit for their purpose, is that not a condition in the Trade Practises Act? Creative, please knock on my door! and PLEASE DONT send me an Email with a "reload the drivers" pre-formatted Email, I couldnt bear the added stress!
11) How come you cant plug the Audigy straight in to the 5600 decoder with a mono cable like it says you can with every other Amp\Decoder you can buy, then they could have used the other DIN Plug Pins for anolog Audio as well and at least reatained similtanious multi sound format.
I just dont get it! Why does it have to Dolby Decode a Dolby Decoded Signal?
12) etc. etc., etc.,etc. etc., etc.,etc. etc., etc.,etc. etc., etc. ....
I could write 5 pages of all the other area where you go BACKWARDS, but I have better things to do with my time, all from a relatively expensive purchase. SO what have I ended up with ... Sure, these speakers sound OK, a bit better than my old $45 speakers, but I end up hearing one type of sound from my computer at a time with NO WAY to remedy it (inexcusable) and a second Dolby Digital decoder that I didnt need in the beginning that removes the most basic functions and I also lose the analog outputs on the sound card. Also the Dolby Digital output is about 40% quieter than "standard" PCM sound! And dont forget, be carefull, dont turn them up too loud, or you might blow the fuse and have to spend a fortune and be without speakers for weeks\months while a Technician has to to replace the fuse at great cost! (thats what they tell you in the book) And dont leave that massi've 2.5 amp power supply on all the time, that will even send you more broke trying to pay the power bill.
I have never bought a product before that removes options and useability, your money is meant to buy you these things, isnt it's? Hopefully Im just an idiot and someone will tell me this nightmare is over. By reading the other posts, I can only assume that any real posts like this are nuked in seconds, so you end up with a whole lot of useless dribble that doesnt help anyone, just wastes more of their time for spending their hard earned money. Creative, you should be ashamed of yourself, especially after such a good past record. I feel for all the stress the majority of posters have and are going through to this day. Please post this message un-edited, as it will save me having to publish it elsewhere. I do not believe it is defamitory, it is just the truth.

Basic functionality missing.

After the downtime yesterday, the speed has improved from completely unacceptable to marginally acceptable, but some basic functionality has disappeared.
1. Usually when more than one answer has been given in a thread, one would have the 'Go to original post' appear. Now it often appears only after 2 or more answer and sometimes not at all.
2. When you recieve a Private message, the 'Your Stuff' field at the top would turn red, to draw your attention. No more.

MuseJSAssert: Error calling selector function:ReferenceError: Spry is not defined.

I launched Muse today and it said there was an updated available. I installed it and then made a few small changes to my 5 page website. Then i exported the HTML and uploaded it to my server.
But now when i try browsing the site in Chrome, I get the following error message:
MuseJSAssert: Error calling selector function:ReferenceError: Spry is not defined.
The only changes I made were adding some text to a few pages and adding metadata info to each page and when viewing the exported HTML locally (prior to uploading) it all behaves as it should...no error messages.
Any ideas why its doing this? or more importantly, any suggestions on how to stop it from doing this? It wasn't doing this yesterday prior to me making these small changes.
Here's the URL: www.gardensbytheseaursery.com
Thanks in advance.

This error would occur if not all the files for the site we're uploaded.
The 2.0 update includes numerous improvements in the generated HTML, CSS and JavaScript, so while you may have directly changed only certain pages, if you're using an external FTP client all the exported files and folders need to be uploaded. (The new built-in FTP support automatically only generates and uploads files that have changed since the previous upload.)

PowerBook G4 15" Titanium very slow. I want to resurrect it for basic functionality. Is rebooting from original start up discs (which I have) a good plan? And if so, what's the procedure?

My PowerBook G4 15" Titanium runs very slow. I want to resurrect it's basic functionality. I am the second respectful owner. Is rebooting from the original Mac OS discs (which I have) a good plan? And if so, what's the procedure? I'm not concerned at this point with security vis-a-vis what will be left on the hard drive, but only with re-optimizing the little beauty for core tasks. Thanks!

As a respectful lover of PPC macs, still having a fully functional one, a 2004 12-in PB, let me ask first some details: RAM installed, disk size. I assume it is running 10.2, as described.
RAM is crucial for upgrading the system, 256 MB is absolute minimum for Tiger, best 512 or, ideally, 1 GB. There were 4 generations of tibooks, beginning with Jan. 2001 through Oct. 2003, which one is yours? The CPU is also important, as the last series may also run Leopard, not only Tiger.
As a basic thought:
- if the first tiBook, with 1 GB memory, you will beautifully run Tiger, Leo may not run due to low CPU
- with the last, with 1 GB memory, you may run both Tiger and Leo, for which 867 Mhz is the minimum.
Of course the original CDs are good, if 10.2, you must be having the last generation, which is of course faster than the earlier ones, so may also install Leopard. I would make a fresh, erase-and-install procedure, and see what is that slowness you mention. Jaguar should run OK on that model, and fast enough, but do the last update too, i.e. 10.2.8

Basic function of Claim Mng

Dear Experts,
Can any one explain u2026u2026..
What is basic function of Claim Mng.
How it will be used.
Configuration of Claim Mng.
Regards
Chandra

In general Claims are of 2 types
1. Claims on Vendor
2. Claims on Customer
Exmaple of Claim on Customer:
You could have incured some additional cost in the Project that u would like to claim from ur Customer as per the contractual norms can be mapped using Claim Management.
So u create a claim document in the system and maintain various information related to Claim
1. Cutomer Details
2. Related Project ID ( WBS Element)
3. U can attache some doucments to the Claim Document
4. What is Planned Cost
5. How much Customer has payed agains that.
Also there standard approval process to approve the claim document.
Refer presentatation on Claim management on "service.sap.com/ps". Click on "Media Center Project System".
Hope this helps.

Basic Function Generator

I produce a sinus-signal with the basic function generator
and i would like to write the x- and the y-values in a simple file
for comparison with values in other files.
First i used the "write measurement file" and i could write it
properly in a *.lvm-file, but i would like to have it in a *.txt
respectively in a *.log-file.
But when i try it with arrays_functions or waveforms_functions
i always get only the y-values, sometimes x(0) as a time-stamp
but not the proper x-y-values.
Thanks for your help!!!!
Janina

Here's something that should work. Since you want time as HH:MMS, everything has to be a string.
To save to a single file every day, you will have to add some code that looks at the current date/time. For example, you could convert the date/time to a string and make it part of the file name.

Basic functions

I just got started on Flash CS3. I don't know ActionScript.
I'm a designer, not a programmer, so I just need it to do the
basic things: gotoAndStop, load movie, move around frames. If I
need something more complicated, I ask help to someone more
competent. Needless to say, I have no talent/patience/interest in
learning how to program.
On previous versions, I'd be fine knowing only that. But I'm
having a hard time finding the basic functions on CS3. Anyone can
help? Will I have to learn AS3 to make Flash do the simplest
things, or is there a better way? (If I need to learn AS just to
get started, that would deeply suck.)
I'll appreciate feedback. Thanks.

>>Needless to say, I have no talent/patience/interest
in learning how to program.
I cannot judge the talent and patience part but the interest
part can be an issue. I'm an art director and was forced to learn
how to code because I was confronted with developers that said that
what I wanted wasn't possible (which isn't the standard by the way
but just specific to my experience). That became frustrating and
stood in my way to accomplish my ideas. So, I decided I had to know
what I was talking about and started to learn. Soon I discovered
the beauty behind the scenes. And learned that coding is highly
creative and it is my creative mind that always seems to find a
solution to a problem.
>>Will I have to learn AS3 to make Flash do the
simplest things, or is there a better way?.
How can you do exciting stuff that win you awards when you
just know about the basic stuff? What are you going to do with your
talent? Which client is interested in the basic stuff? Or do you
specialize in banners? I want to know every detail and get
everything and more out of the program. And please keep on
developing Adobe so I get even more horse power to do the things I
want.
>>But I'm having a hard time finding the basic
functions on CS3.
How hard can it be to go to a bookstore and pick up a book on
how to use Flash from a designer point of view. The web is full of
information. Ah, like you said, no patience.
Man, I hope the talent part is really well 'developed'.

Why do apple release products with so many basic functions missing? Print!

I love the iPhone and i love the iPad but why do apple always leave so many basic functions out of their devices.
The iPhone was missing a decent camera, mms, multiple sms send, multi delete otions, contacts import from sim.....and many other things.....they eventually got there.
Then they bring the iPad out which i would buy tomorrow and use for business to display my brochures, PDF's, port folio and type up quotes but there is no printing option.....whats all that about?
I wouldn't mind if there was even a decent app available for it but i'd really like an option in Pages to print a bloody page!
Why do apple do this? I have a Canon ip100 that i have been using for wireless printing with my IBM Thinkpad to type up quotes and print brochures on the move........if I buy an iPad i can no longer do this. It's like stepping back 5 years!
Can anyone shed any light on why apple would produce such a product without the ability to print properly. It's so frustrating!

Your obviously a huge apple fan and going to defend it's lack of functionality. A print function is not going to effect battery life, nor decrease hard drive space. If it was intended purely as a toy then why include software to write documents and create spreadsheets. I don't know many people who create spreadsheets for fun.
What about people wanting to print photo's. 'There's an app for that'
I personally think it's a huge oversight and a major disappointment for the iPad. If it is capable of it why not include it.
I agree. I think a camera is a ridiculous thing to have on the iPad.....but you should be able to connect a camera o it and upload photo's.
If apple hadn't left so many features off of the original iphone i would probably just accept that this is what apple intended the product to be used for and tough luck if it doesn't do what i want it to. But Apple left so many simple features off of the iphone it was ridiculous. They revolutionised the mobile phone but at the same time took it back 5 years in functionality. No MMS, No multi delete, no multi sms recipients.........etc.
For a company so keen on selling top notch products to as many people as possible it seems crazy not to have a print function. Loads of businesses would use this if it had. I'm not the only one that thinks it's crazy not having a print function....just do a google search and there are thousands more asking the same thing.
Adding a print function could probably sell a couple of million more units.
It is a computer by the way....it runs an OS system. It has programs......it's just not a fully functional computer!
Apparently Stove Jobs has said via an email that printing will come.......if it;s going to come then why wasn't it here to start with!

Disappointed by missing basic functionality

I recently started working with Muse, and got frustrated by the fact that there seemingly is no Show/Hide functionality.
Also, am I correct to say that there is no direct import for Mp3/4 media? If so, why not?
Lastly: if InDesign can have basic animation options, then surely it wouldn't be so hard to include it in Muse.
Muse works great, but I am quite disappointed by this lack of basic functionality.
Cobus

Thanks for your response.Yes I agree with you - I put my expectations in the fact that Muse is developing fast.
However, what I'd regard as a very basic feature for any interactivity (show/hide), is missing. Instead of having abutton that can show or hide icons on a map, I now I have to create a duplicate of the same page that don't show them. So when a user click the button, another page first has to load!
Clumsy and stupid.
Thanks for the link - I'll have a look at it.

How do i realise the most basic functionality with my zen tou

I've been playing around with my zen touch for a couple of hours now and I have to admit I'm impressed. The zen has certainly opened my eyes and challenged my previous foolish preconceptions about portable mp3 players which should be open platform, plug-and-play, straightforward and easy to use, because my experience thus far has not been any of these.
In an attempt to stop wasting any more my time I was just wondering if someone could quickly tell me how exactly do I manage the files which are already on my touch? A couple of things I would like to do:
. view and music files on my zen touch from some interface on my computer
2. copy music files from my zen touch back on to my computer
3. delete all music files without manually having to go through each and every album
Now I've probably made another crass assumption that it is infact possible to actually do this, but here's to hoping.
Now, the manual says I can use the creative mediasource organizer to transfer music to my touch. And indeed, Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 claims to be able to do just this (transfer music tracks to and from your Creative portable music player using Sync Manager and SmartFit*). My question is... how? I've run the organizer, it looks like yet another music library management tool, great except for the whole part about that mp3 player stuff. Is there a hidden setting somewhere only available to stonemasons that will let me access my mp3 player?
I've also installed the Creative NOMAD Explorer (Version 3.0.0). Now, at least this works - in the same way a person in a coma can be said to li've. When I open the 'music library' I get an empty explorer window to I can click and drag mp3 files into it and it copies them over. So, I guess I have some functionality, although it would be kind of nice to have some feedback about what files I have on there.
Now as it's not april fools I'm not quite ready to accept that zen touch as the great big joke it appears to be, so if somebody could provide some insight I would really be grateful.
edit: forgot to mention, running .0.03 firmware, and the model number on the back is DAP-HD004. Upgrading to the 2. firmware is unfortunatley not an option at the moment.Message Edited by adante on 02-24-20060:7 PM

Mosey: thank you for the information. Just out of curiousity, was I just not paying attention and was this made known somewhere? Or do creative just expect you to potter around endlessly installing software in the hopes that you might randomly stumble across the right configuration?
Perhaps I am just crazy for assuming that if the latest firmware does not have a superseded message, it is still acti've and valid.
Anyway, I'm happy to report that the situation has been resolved mostly to my satisfaction. I was able to fob off my zen touch to some other sod, and actually make a profit from it, no less! This was quite a pleasant surprise because I usually dispose of fecal matter by flushing it down the toilet (but then, I don't have to pay for it either).
I have since purchased a noname mp3 player which, while having some pretty severe firmware, provides some great additional functionality which I have to admit I really like over the touch. Primarily, this was being able to copy mp3s to and from it* and hence use it as an mp3 player! I know this concept is a little radical, but I really think creative should look into it because it would really add some value to their current line of paperweights and doorsto
ps.
So thanks creative for that hilarious little experience. I have to admit, you guys certainly do manage to distinguish yourself from the field and push the limits of mp3 player technology. Where I used to think of a nai'vely spectrum of good to bad, I have since extended this from the good, to the bad, to the creative.
* This alone is a great feature I was never able to realise with my touch, and made even better by the fact I didn't have to install all sorts of half-baked software to achieve it!

I am new to LR and have it set up on a Mac desktop and laptop. On the laptop, the Basic function under Develop simply disappeared. I am lost. Help.

Question: I am new to LR and have it set up on a Mac desktop and laptop. On the laptop, the Basic function under Develop simply disappeared. I am lost. Help.

It's a common issue. The Basic panel is merely hidden.
Hiding/unhiding panels is actually a feature of Lightroom but it is unintuitive - few people know it exists - so most newcomers are thrown when a panel somehow gets hidden.
Right-click anywhere in the right hand side panel area and a context menu will appear.
Click the Basic option to make the Basic panel re-appear.

Basic functionality in spry would rule!
