Basic "manual"

I know there is a load of excellent tutorials out there on EA, but I've not found anything that runs through the basics of writing code and where to place it, ie just the structure of setting up a variable like this; var Rectanglea1 = sym.$("Rectanglea1");
when to put stuff in compostion ready, and what the heck is yep nope :-) - I understand that I just "need" it to load the JS files, but why yep nope?? little bits like that would be very good. I for one would happily pay for a book or tutorial that gave the basics of coding and possibly more importantly, fully understanding where to place the code. Another example might be the pro's and cons of adding an action to buttons, versus putting the code into the main code panel. From a designers point of view it's easier to get your end around adding the code to a button, but if I have lots of buttons, then there are lots of places to change code, rather than the code all being in one nice neat place in the compostion ready? - Is that right?? examples of that stuuf would be good.
I loved flash, but never really got very good at coding; I just copied from others, and I really want to try and do better with EA, just need a little more help :-)
If anyone knows of a resource that expalins the above, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks very much
Alistair
P.S by the way I have now learned that sym.$ needs to be used in EA to "declare" the variable; (is that the correct expression, declare), but is sym.$ specific to EA? - As you can see the only coding I've ever done is early ActionScript and a bit of very basic html

SO 8 database access using BASIC

I created a database using StarOffice 8 and I want access it through BASIC. Unfortunately I keep getting the following error:
Table not found in statement [SELECT ItemDescription FROM Inventory].
This should work because my SQL query uses the same syntax and it works.
Here is the code (copied nearly verbatim from the StarOffice BASIC manual):
Dim DatabaseContext As Object
Dim DataSource As Object
Dim Connection As Object
Dim InteractionHandler as Object
Dim Statement As Object
Dim ResultSet As Object
DatabaseContext=createUnoService("com.sun.star.sdb.DatabaseContext")
DataSource=DatabaseContext.getByName("TestDatabase")
If Not DataSource.IsPasswordRequired Then
Connection=DataSource.GetConnection("","")
Else
InteractionHandler=createUnoService("com.sun.star.sdb.InteractionHandler")
Connection=DataSource.ConnectWithCompletion(InteractionHandler)
EndIf
Statement=Connection.createStatement()
ResultSet=Statement.executeQuery("SELECT ItemDescription FROM Inventory")
If Not IsNull(ResultSet) Then
While ResultSet.next
MsgBoxResultSet.getString(1)
Wend
EndIf

This can be achieved by means of an enterprise user.

Lenovo Mini Wireless Laser Mouse N10 - drivers? manual?

Model 45J7731
I just purchased this mouse, and I'm happy with it, but I was wondering if there are drivers or a manual.
The mouse works except for the left and right click of the scroll wheel. I can't find drivers, so the mouse is just recognized with the default mouse drivers. The wheel definately clicks left and right, but these don't seem to be recognized by any software.
The mouse came with 3 different materials. One was completely chinese, One was a basic manual that had a single page with pictures of how to install the battery and turn the mouse on (the many other pages were a multitude of languages, warranty info, and warnings), and the last was a laser warning packet. I think there is an LED in the top of the mouse, but I have no idea what it means or when it should be on (maybe low battery? - that would be useful).
The lenovo service website doesn't seem to have any information on this mouse, so I'm not sure where to look. Any advice for drivers and / or a useage manual?

Variable replacement path with another variable

Hi Guru's
I'd like to use the functionnality of replacement path from a variable.
Well, i have variable V_1 which is a basic manual entry variable based on a date infoobject. this variable is not mandatory and accessible.
And i have the variable V_2 which should be based on V_1 so i created V_2 with a process replacement path and in the replacement tab i put V_1 (i try with the list but i didn't find my V_1)
But the result is that V_2 is always empty but i have no problem when i check the query
So do you have any idea ?
Why i can not see the V_1 in the list of variable from the replacement ?
I don't want to use by exit. i know that it is possible but i want to use the main simple functionnality for flexibility is maintenance by users.
Thanks for help
Cyril

thanks for your answer,
svu123, my V_1 variable is of course in a correct status to be used. i made test in first without V_2.
And when i create V_2 in the first tab i activated correctly the replacement in processing type. if not i can not choose
the query or variable source and i can not see the list of variables.
Rakesh, i tried what you answered without results. i check different variables that are available in the list and i have
lots of different variables (all in ready for input) but i have interval, multiple single values, SAP standard variables my own variable on other fields.
any other ideas ?
many thanks
Cyril

Distorting text/images in converting from pmd to pdf

My company uses PageMaker 7.0 to create our manuals and brochures and then converts them into pdf's. I've run into this problem before and found that if I didn't properly place or import an image (not copy and paste an image or text) that once converting it into a pdf only a portion of the image would be there or everyother 3rd letter would exist. Thought we had corrected it. The creator of this last document saw everything correctly but when another employee opened the pdf file through the network it was distorted and wrong. I opened the document and "saved as" in my documents and then everything seemed fine from my computer but then the creator opened the file on his computer and it was wrong. The link info on some of the images is wrong even though it was placed properly- the text was entered in Pagemaker but on the pdf is missing letters and causing odd spacing. I'm at a loss now on how to correct this. I hate to upgrade when pagemaker is more than sufficient for the basic manuals we do. I did notice that I was using Reader 9 wheras they still had 8 on their computers- already had them upgrade but didn't think this would be a real issue. Any ideas on the problem or how to correct would be greatly appreciated!!

Look in the application where the users are generating the PostScript.
Many of them have an option "print last page first", so this naturally
produces a backwards PDF.

How to automatically saved a pdf form into a network folder using a submit button

Good evening to everyone,
I'm more than a beginner on adobe development reason why I would like to apologize first if my questions are dumbs. :-(
I would like to know if 'Adobe 9 Professional Extended' has the possibility to put some code into a submit button in order for the pdf form to be saved with a unique name and into a Network folder located into an Encryption Server where we handle our PII. Is it? Over the past two weeks I've been digging into the documentation but I'm unable to find something that will help me to accomplish our headquarters requirements.
If there is no possibility, is there any programming language that adobe accepts in order to configure a piece of code that will store the file into a network folder? Perhaps VB or C-SHARP?
Whatever feedback anyone can give, I deeply appreciate it.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Mr. Chaney!
I do have more questions based on your recomendation.
From my understanding, JavaScript or FormCalc will be my only options, right? If that's the case, how can a scripting language (client server side) allow me to transfer automatic saved files into a Network folder within my company intranet? I downloaded the Scripting Basic manual and all the scenarios and code are client server side such as, changing background color, add effects to a button and so on.
I did find a command under FormCalc called "PUT" can I use this command to transfer a pdf file into a Virtual Directory folder? All the examples I saw were for XML files.

Exporting to Flash, missing library item?

I am using Flash 8 (also tried CS3, but flash 8 seems to
import Captivate much better) and Captivate 3.
I want to create a project following the steps outlined in
this adobe article.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/cpvideo_03.html
(this is the link to page 3 where the steps to exporting to flash
are outlined)
I am unable to because an item the author says should be in
the Flash library is missing. From the article:
quote:
1. Import the Macromedia Captivate project file using the
Import to Library option. Be sure to deselect the audio import
option (remember, the audio portion is in the FLV file) and any
other Macromedia Captivate feature that you did not use in your
demo.
2. Upon import, open up the Library panel and locate the
Macromedia Captivate content. It will have the same name as the
original Macromedia Captivate project file but with a CPT
extension.
3. Drag it to the Stage and name the instance captivate_mc.
If you omit this step, the resync code will not work.
But I am not seeing any "captivate content file".
Anyone have any thought/suggestions?

Well I guess captivate 3 must export slightly different than
Captivate 2. I had to basically manually create the movie clip the
article talks about. When you export from cap3 to flash it puts
everything on the scene 1 timeline. So I copied ALL the frames
& layers, created a new movie clip and put it all into that new
movie clip symbol. Just kind of a pain to have to do it manually,
but not a big deal.

Cannot uninstall or install itunes!

I logged onto itunes last night and it asked if I wanted to upgrade to the newest version. So I clicked "OK" and my computer froze up during the installation of the update. I had to do a hard boot and when I tried to install the update again it gave me an error message saying "Cannot run itunes some files required are missing. please re-install itunes" (or something like that), so I did an uninstall and halfway through the uninstall the same message popped up and wouldn't complete the uninstall! I went into C-drive and manually removed all folders and files related to Quicktime and itunes. I rebooted the PC and tried to install the new version of itunes again. It installed Quicktime, but the same error message popped up when it tried to install itunes.
What should I do now?
Thank you.
God Bless

I've just wasted 5 hours on this problem...one you all helped me solve. The delete programs did not do the trick, nor did the Windows utility. I basically manually deleted all of the Quicktime files - emptied the trash and rebooted, as suggested.
Thanks for your input, but jeez, why can't Apple provide this support? Oh yeah, they created the problem and you Windows geniuses solved it - for free.
Thanks again. Will I ever "upgrade" Itunes again?

Load balancing in Oracle Reports 6 +

I had a document a while that outlined the basic (manual really) load balancing capabilities of reports server. I can't find the document on technet. Can someone direct me to the right place?
Thanks!

A couple places:
1. An overview available in the "Advanced tips and techniques with Oracle Reports Server" whitepaper
2. Technical information now folded into the "Publishing Reports" manual - chapter 6 - with Reports 6i.

Migrating existing portable homes to new server

aside from moving the homedir data from the old server to the new, there seem to be at least a few issues with migrating existing portable home accounts to a new server:
1. some of users' account details, like GeneratedUID, authentication authority, kerberos principals, OriginalNFSHomeDirectory, are different, while others (name, shortname, UID, GID, etc.) remain the same.
2. home directory (OriginalNFSHomeDirectory, etc.) point to the old server.
3. there's data on local machines that we don't sync back to the server, so we can't just blow away the existing local accounts and start fresh.
the quickest way to migrate these users to the new server (with all the same shortnames and UIDs, etc.) seems to be to remove the local cached accounts (leaving the home folders) and have them recreate new PHDs on login, syncing things back down to the original home folder. i'm guess this won't involve much syncing, it's all the same data, essentially.
the other way i can see resolving this is to replace the account attributes for each client to match what they should be when pointed to the new server. this would involve scripting the process for reliability and not moving any data or deleting accounts, but it will take more testing on my part.
what do you think? can you think of better ways to accomplish this task?
summary: what's the best way to move existing portable home accounts bound to "Server A" to "Server B," while maintaining data and portable homes pointed to the new server and storage?
thanks.

that createmobileaccount syntax was wrong. i guess you don't need the -t option and can instead specify the whole path to the user's home. it seems to work well enough, creating a portable home with no default sync settings -- basically manual. for my needs that's fine. the sync settings are managed via mcx anyway.
here's an updated version of the standalone script. i realized just now the script assumes the diradmin usernames and passwords are the same between servers. if that's not the case, you can hard code it or add a couple of variables. since they're just taken in order on stdin, add them in order. i should also add a function to interactively ask for the passwords with stty -echo to avoid having the passes logged in command history or allowing the script to curl the pass from another file on a web server or something. for now, this seems to work for my purposes. edit as you see fit.

Apps to Install and Uninstall Icons from Launchpad

I have found an application by a third party that installs in the System Preference file that allows you to Add or Delete any Icon from Launchpad with just a click.
I have installed the program and it works very good - no problems.
I also run NORTON Internet Security 5 for MAC and the program went though the filters and checks with NO problems.
Below is the link that takes you to the developer and download sight by a developer named Chaosspace.de
http://chaosspace.de/launchpad-control/
Good luck and I hope this help everyone, this problem is very frustrating!

Why? In general this type of setup is handled by using standard Windows authentication. Normal users cannot install/uninstall programs. The problem solves itself. You cannot technically prevent an admin from removing a program.
It simply isn't possible. As an admin I can remove the folder containing your program and it is effectively uninstalled. I can manually remove any registry entries you create and it is uninstalled. I can basically manually uninstall anything
that you install as an admin.

Hp 70950a osa and 8163a multimeter

Hi, I am new to this forum, I seek for help to create a basic Labview program to communicate with an old HP70950A optical spectrum analyser, connected via GPIB to a Win98 computer where Labview 6 is installed. there are no driver available, but just the HP-BASIC manual. I would like to get, via normal READ-WRITE commands, the cursor peak amplitude and eventually the wavelength. Any additional command to control the instrument will be welcomed.
I will get this data as function of measured power from Agilent 8163A multimeter,, for which there are the drivers already.
Thanks
Antony
Solved!
Go to Solution.

10 CLEAR 723 Initialize analyzer.20 OUTPUT 723;"IP;SNGLS;TS;"
30 OUTPUT 723;"CENTERWL 1300NM;SPANWL 10NM;RL -5DBM;" Set measurement range.40 OUTPUT 723;"TS;" Sweep trace A.50 OUTPUT 723;"MKPK HI;" Mark highest signal level.60 OUTPUT 723;"MKWL?;" Return wavelength at marker.
This is an example of the code I want to implement in Labview. I am now able to execute line 10 to 50, using SEND commands to the single GPIB device. The problem is line 60
I can send MKWL? as a command, but how can I get the output? With MAX it works (also ID? command works) by pressing the QUERY button, but which function to use to make it in the Labview program? RECEIVE following the the SEND does not work. I tried playing with time, to see if it is a problem of communication, but it is not.
Thanks
Antony
