Begginer Question

Hello all,
Just need some assistance to make one thing to work.
I need to create one simple animation that will be in the
beginning of the website, kinda promotional thing, and then go to
another flash (main flash).
I do the animation for about 30 seconds and i need when it's
over, to go immediately to the main flash or url.
Can you guys help me on this?
Bst Rgrds
JR

hmmm i'm not sure i understnad what u wants exactly. but if
you wanna play like an intro and then go to another whole different
page, you can put in the last frame of the animation this code:
getURL("
http://ww........","_self ")
_self means that it opens in the same window.
But if you wanna load another flash in the same place and the
same size of the intro, you can use the loadMovie() function

EJB begginer question

Hello,
I have been reading a little about EJB's and I have seen some EJB examples defining the class atributes inside and other examples using helper classes. I do not understand yet when it is better to use one or the other. Of course I see that an ejb uses more resources. Which is the best way of programming ejb's? Does anybody knows about a good book for learning step by step?
Thanks in advance

U can read this book
" Enterprise JavaBeans 3rd Edition" by Richard Monson-Haefel
Publication - O'Reilly.
Its worth reading. It covers all the basic concepts of EJB and other stuff

Slow motion no sound

when i put a video in the sequence it's playing slow motion and without sound.. like frame after frame, slowly..
i'm sure i'ts a begginer question but i really need help fast!

I have no idea what you mean by "it is playing slow motion without sound".
I'm guessing you're trying to play the video in the timeline by pressing the space bar. That's a rokie mistake. You must do a ram preview. Use the Preview Panel or select Composition>Preview>Ram preview. AE will render a ram preview and, if audio is turned on in the Preview Panel, you'll get audio. The preview will only play until you run out of ram.
AE is a compositing app. It's not for editing, it's for making cool shots and on occasion sequences.

Subtotal by attribute

Hi Gurus,
Here'a a begginer question related to subtotals:
I cannot make a subtotal based on an attribute wich is not 1:1 with the dimension key.
What do you suggest to do next ?
Thanks,
Markus

Suman,
Even I succeded to display the attribute in the first row, the subtotal follows the partner_key logic (you mentioned this in a post earlier) - I mean it groups according to the values found in partner_key , not like attribute fiscal_code.
By disabiling I meant I've suppresed the key and text display.
Next step is to provide two columns containig partner ID and partner description wich was already provided as an attribute in the first column ..
Thanks for your fast response and sorry not providing all the picture ,
M

Anything wrogn with this dispatchEvent?

Looks like a begginer question bu
t i really don't know wat am i doing wrong. Used to work a lot with eventDispatchers but now it seams not working.
File 1:
private function init():void{
     dispatchEvent(new Event("myEvent_eventDispatcher", true, true))
File2:
private function init():void{
     addEventListener("myEvent_eventDispatcher", myEvent_eventHandler);
private function myEvent_eventHandler(e:Event):void{
     Alert.show("Event dispatched");
Don't know why but the eventListner is not callong the myEvent_eventHandler function. I know that cause i debug the applicaciont with a breakpoint by the function.

Well... If these are two different files then they are two different components right?
Your addEventListener call is listening for an event on 'File2'. If you wish to listen for the myEvent event on a specific instance you need:
   myFile1.addEventListener(...), where myFile1 is the instance of the component you want to listen to.
If you are wanting to just capture 'myEvent' on the DOM, they what you have there is fine, just look up the interface for addEventListener and pass 'true' for 'useCapture'.
Lastly if you are expecting 'myEvent' to "bubble" up the DOM, then make sure both your File1 instance and File2 are actively on the display list, and that File 2 is somehow an ancestor to File1 in the DOM.
Hope that helps,
Corey

     Ok, sorry if the titles not good enough but i am a php programmer between begginer and intermediate but who wants to know java so i can say write a applet or something that can run from the desktop directly, also i wanted to lean OO and it in php confuses me infinately so i decided in the context of knowing nothing i might pick it up better thus java.
So most of what im doing is confusing to me so i just tried to type some code (Well the first 20 maybe lines i compiled and tested but after that i couldnt test so i just ran with it. Today i tried to compile and poof, nothing.
Any clues what im doing wrong and what i should do instead?
BTW this stuff feels weird, i feel like to take imput it should have a html form or something. I dunno.
also i dont even seem to have these acm packages im trying to import, any clue why?

Any clues what im doing wrong and what i should do instead?I can take a stab at your code.

String yodawg;
yodawg ="I heard you like saxaphones ";This is not an error but plain weird IMHO, if you are declaring a variable then initializing it, you might as well do it all on one line.
if (/* String? */username == "yes" || "Yes" || "YES"){
testingthiscrap LeroyJenkins = new testingthiscrap
LeroyJenkins.LetsDoThis()
}This code will not compile and should produce one of possible many compiler errors. The condition inside the if statement requires each condition to be independent of one another. e.g. (username == "yes" || username = "Yes" || username == "YES").
This also represents one of the most common errors presented to new comers. Equivalence of Objects such as Strings are compared using a method .equals() and not the term "==". The latter actually compares two Strings by the address stored in memory.
class runBy convention all Class names begin with a capital letter
Also it appears that the class run contains main method and an inner class in which itself contains a main method. I will conclude right here that you are biting off far more then you can chew. Start with the basics, e.g. Google for Java tutorials and start from "hello world" then make your way from there. Tackle one problem at a time and learn the concepts of the tutorial which will hopefully stay with you, as these fundamental concepts will be your foundation to development using the Java language.

Begginer Flex Apps for browser Questions:

Begginer Flex Apps for browser Questions:
To change Dim in Flex App I must change file in address bar of browser, in other words create another page?
Usually Flex Web sites come in only one file or many [upper 10?]?
Scrolled Area in Flex how called [I mean like XHTML DIV Scrolled area?
I book Flex 4: vol. I , Tranning from the Source, from Adobe press, covered:
Scrolled Areas
email components
publish to live server
if not, then all these covered in vol.II?

to change the dimension of your flash window inside the browser you can use javascript... or you can have your flash-element in full size of the browser window and handle the resizing flash-intern, so you do not need an extra page for that. Just take a look at the HTML-Code and ask again if you are not that skilled with HTML/JavaScript.
usual you have only one SWF.
You can use the spark Scroller (see http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/05/01/creating-a-scrolling-spark-panel-container-in-flex -gumbo/ for example)
Sorry, I don't know, but I can give you some hints:
for scrolling you can use Scroller
I don't know, what you mean by e-mail but you can use javascript to create a "mailto:"-link (see http://flexonblog.wordpress.com/2007/12/18/mailing-in-flex-using-javascript-function-mailt o/ )
the easiest way to deploy you just have to copy your swf and html-files from your flex-project to a web-server.

Begginer`s question . i think

Okey .. so i'm new with java but i need to find out something ..
i'm using a java application for my mobile, a notepad to be exact.
For it to store notes it uses a .rms file ( from what i've seen is a db of somekind ).
I was wondering if there is a application or something to see all the entries of this .rms file from the pc and to edit them.
Is this possible ?
Thank you.

Yes. About that.
What is the reason that it's phone dependent ?
I've seen a lot of similarities in .rms files with different records:
The begging is the same:
midp-rms [? :??wI"?9*{?????? and i think after there some variabiles that are in some connection with the file size and the number of the records
and the separator from recordings is:
? ( where ^ is variabile )
So .. i repet my question: What is the reason that rms files are phone dependent ?

PL/SQL has no mechanism for promting the user and getting keyboard input. You'll have to do that through your front end. If you're using SQL*Plus, you can use the SQL*Plus ACCEPT command to prompt the user, get input and store it in a substitution variable.

A question about /usr/include/sys/select.h header file

good day! i hope i can get some help about this and i would be very grateful if my question will be answered. i have a question regarding the select.h header file that we include in our programs when we use the select(3C) function.
* Select uses bit masks of file descriptors in longs.
* These macros manipulate such bit fields.
* FD_SETSIZE may be defined by the user, but the
* default here should be >= NOFILE (param.h).
29 #ifndef FD_SETSIZE
30 #define FD_SETSIZE 1024
31 #endif
its says here in the header file that the value of FD_SETSIZE may be defined by the user and i need to know how. i've already tried declaring a constant at the beggining of the program but it didn't work...
example:
#undef FD_SETSIZE
#define FD_SETSIZE 2048
the FD_SET macro generates an error if a value larger than 1024 is passed from in the first argument. i need to increase its value in order for me to wait for more than 1024 socket descriptors on select function. how can i increase or modify its value? thanks in advance...

AFAIK, the only way to change the FD_SETSIZE value is by building your own version of the libc.a and linking it statically to your executable. Not good at all IMHO.
The sources of Solaris 8 contain the implementation of select(3C) with both standard and 'large' (64K) FD_SETSIZE.
AFAIK, 64-bit version of the libc.so contains the 64K-descriptors version of the select(3C), so you may consider building your application with -xarch=v9 flag to get 64-bit application...
As for poll(2) - there is a manual page (man -s 2 poll) and some notes in the Answerbook. poll(2) is the actual system call that is used by select(3C), which is an interface function, so there is no functional difference between these two.
There is a potential problem with portability of your code if you are using poll(), but it looks like you have no choice... sorry about it...

Question on Delta Init Loads

Hi All,
I have a basic question on Delta Inits. I am a beginner in BW and would truly appreciate any input.
At my company, we currently are doing delta loads on the cube 0RT_C35 (Material Movements). They did the Delta Inits prior to that.
Now if we were to add new fields to the cube and need to populate data to the new fields from the beggining, how do I go about doing it..?
Should I delete the Delta Init requests and redo the Delta Inits..? What will happen to the Delta loads that are running daily then..?
Can someone please give me the steps that I need to follow in a sequence.
Like I said, it might be a basic question..but I am not familiar with this process.
Appreciate your help.

Thank You very much Ravi.
I will not be doing it today based on the priority of the tasks..but this is something I will have to do eventually in the next 1-2 weeks. I will definitely let you know how it goes.
So once the mapping and everything is in place and is ready to be loaded, bascially I need to delete data from the datatarget, put the delta job on hold, reinit the delta requests and then I should be able to do the delta jobs again right..?
Thank You so much.
The other issue is that there are probably 25 Delta inits that they did based on the number range for the Material Nbr. But they have only 1 delta. So does the delta job cover the data for all the Delta Init requests..?
I am assigning full points to you for being such a great help. I will let you know when I actually end up doing this.
I will assign the remaining points when I close the request.
Thanks again

[SOLVED]Questions about a shell program and about shell: files, regexp

Hello, I'm writing this little program in shell:
#!/bin/bash
# Synopsis:
# Read from an inputfile each line, which has the following format:
# lllnn nnnnnnnnnnnnllll STRING lnnnlll n nnnn nnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ll ll
# where:
# n is a <positive int>
# l is a <char> (no special chars)
# the last set of ll ll could be:
# - NV
# - PV
# Ex:

# The program should check, for each line of the file, the following:
# I) If the nn of character lllnn (beggining the line) is numeric,
# this is, <int>
# II) If the character ll ll is NV (just one set of ll) then
# copy that line in an outputfile, and add one to a counter.
# III) If the character ll ll is NP (just one set of ll) then
# copy that line in an outputfile, and add one to a counter.
# NOTICE: could be just one ll. Ex: [...] NV [...]
# [...] PV [...]
# or both Ex: [...] NV PV [...]

echo "FILE: $outputfileNOM does not exist or does not have write permissions"
echo "FILE: $outputfilePGP does not exist or does not have write permissions"
fi
I have some questions:
I) When I do:
if [[ -r $inputfile && -w $outputfileNOM && -w $outputfilePGP ]]; then
else
echo "FILE: $inputfile does not exist or does not have read permissions"
echo "FILE: $outputfileNOM does not exist or does not have write permissions"
echo "FILE: $outputfilePGP does not exist or does not have write permissions"
fi
I would like to print the things on the else, accordingly, this is, print the right message. Ex: if "$outputfileNOM" did not have the write permission, just print that error. BUT, I don't want to put a lot of if/else, Ex:
if [[ -r $inputfile ]]; then
if [[-w $outputfileNOM ]] then
else
For the READ permission, and the other for the WRITE
Is there a way to do it, without using a nesting approach, and that maintains the readability.
II) About the:
if [[ -r $inputfile && -w $outputfileNOM && -w $outputfilePGP ]]
is OK if I use the flag "-x" instead of -r or -w. I don;t have a clear definition of what is the meaning of:
-x FILE
FILE exists and execute (or search) permission is granted
III) Notice the ATTENTION label in my code. I notice that there are some possibilities, for ex: having white spaces before, after or before or after. I'm believing in the consistency of the input files, but if they change, it will explode. What could I do in this case? Is there an elegant way to manage it? (exceptions?)
Thank you very much!
EDIT: corrected what rockin turtle wrote bellow about the format. Thank you.

I) Regarding your if statement, you could do something like this:
estr='FILE: %s does not exist or does not have %s permissions.\n'
[ -r $inputfile ] || ( printf "$estr" "$inputfile" "read" && exit 1 )
[ -w $outputfileNOM ] || ( printf "$estr" "$outputfileNOM" "write" && exit 1 )
[ -w $outputfilePGP ] || ( printf "$estr" "$outputfilePGP" "write" && exit 1 )
II)The -r/-w/-x mean that the file has the read/write/execute bit set. Do a
$ man chmod
for details.
III) You should be able to do
if [[ "$line" =~ .*\<NV\> ]]; then
echo "..."
(( countNOM++ ))
fi
but that didn't work for me when I tried it. I don't know if this is a bug in bash, or (more likely) something that I am doing wrong.
Regardless, I would write your script like this:
#!/bin/bash
file=$(egrep '^[A-Z]..[0-9]{2}' "$1")
grep '\<NV\>' <<< "$file" > "$2"
grep '\<PV\>' <<< "$file" > "$3"
echo 'Count NON:' $(wc -l < "$2")
echo 'Count PGP:' $(wc -l < "$3")
Note: In reading your script, your comments imply that each line of the input file starts with 'llnnn' but the example line you gave starts with 'lllnn'. That is, there are 3 letters (AVO) followed by 2 numbers (01). The above script assumes that lines start with 'lllnn'

2 questions - one about Frame Rates, the other about Rendering

These are two areas I need to learn more about.
Any answers to my 2 specific questions below would be appreciated, but also, I need to gain a deeper understanding of these 2 areas, so if you have any recommendations on how/where to learn more, I'd appreciate that, as well.
1. I'm trying to copy a tape from an older 8mm Sony Handycam to my Canon XL-1 mini-DV, in order to be able to import the footage into FCP, however, it comes out all messed up, skipping and jumping in a way that makes me think the frame rate of the two cameras is not in sync. I don't know of a way to change, or even to confirm, the frame rate of either one of these cameras and have found nothing online. Yet, I was able to successfully copy a tape a few years ago, with the same equipment I'm using now, so I'm thinking maybe the frame rate was changed on one of these??? I don't know.
2. I've never really understood rendering - why some clips require it while others do not. The latest example was with footage from my Canon and a different (newer) Sony DCR-SR68. Because the format of this Sony is wider than that of the Canon, I shot it knowing that I'd be cropping off some of the left and right of the frame. So, in FCP, when I click and drag the corner of the wireframe in the canvas to make the Sony footage fill the square, it needs to be rendered in the Timeline. However, if I do the same with the Canon footage, it does not require rendering. I'm trying to understand why. If it makes a difference, the Canon footage was imported directly from the camera, whereas the Sony footage needed to be first imported into iMovie and saved as an MPEG before being imported into FCP.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Mr. Chappell,
Many older tapes have sat on shelves etc. for many years, It is
a good idea to,
First make sure your 8mm is mechanically sound, throw in a blank or
unimportant tape and make sure it will play etc. without causing any
phisical damage to the tape.
Then put in a tape to transfer and Fast forward to the end and then rewind
to the begginning, this will re-pack/tension the tape.
then play the tape back briefly while looking thru the viewfinder or monitoring
with a tv, hopefully all looks well.
then connect and transfer to the mini-dv (best to use a tbc, but should work
without)then playback the DV tape briefly, again, with either viewfinder or TV,
if all looks good you should have no problems unless they are related
to capture settings (they should match the DV cameras video and audio sampling
rate, check for 32K).
Hope this helps,
J>H<L
