Best way to create a "marker" in a swf for object placement

Hello, I need to dynamically create and place some objects in
actionscript, but I want the locations of those objects to be data
driven by some sort of marker inside of my movie clip swf.
For example, I could draw a box, and then in actionscript
find the location of that box, place my dynamic object there, and
then hide the box so it doesn't show up.
But I wonder if there's a better way to do this, so I'm not
actually creating these unused graphics?

Right, I understand that I can change the location of the
objects using x and y.
The issue is that I want to decide what values to set x and y
to by some marker placed inside the swf file. So for example, maybe
an artist will put a marker where some item should appear at some
time. then in code, I create that object, and set the x,y to some
value that the artist marked in the swf with some "marker".
The question is, what is the ideal technique to use for a
"marker"? Just an empty movie clip?

Best way to create DVD

I've exported a movie that I created in FCP 3 to a Quicktime file. I would like to burn the movie to a DVD that I can play on a DVD player. I've been trying to use iDVD 4, but its not recognizing the audio in my quicktime file. Is there another way to do this?

With all due respect, I fail to see how my comments are off the mark. iDVD has two settings... that to me is for consumers. How can any professional slice the art of compression into 2 settings? Compressor provides many more choices that a pro would probably use. And even Compressor isn't great as higher-lvl compression software, but at least its a start. The topic of this questions is BEST way to create a DVD, not the worst way, and clearly the BEST solution does NOT have iDVD in it. It's the same reason you don't edit in iMovie over FCP, it's the reason Windows users don't use MovieMaker. iDVD is a decent entry-lvl program, but frankly not cut out for anything above home video.

What is the best way to create a SSRS 2005 Line Chart Report for a 12 month period?

I'm looking for advice on how to create a SQL Server 2005 query and line chart report for SSRS 2005.
I need to display the peak number of patients assigned to a medical practice each month for a 12 month period based on the end-user selecting a
single month and year.
I've previously created a report that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month but I’m looking for advice on how to
how to produce a resultset that shows the peak number of patients each month for a 12 month period. I thought about creating a query that returns the peak count for each month (based on my previously created report which displays all patients assigned to the
practice for any single month) and then use a UNION statement to join all 12 months but I'm sure that isn't the most efficient way to do this. The other challenge with this approach (twelve resultsets combined via a UNION) is that the end-user needs to be
able to select any month and year for the parameter and the report needs to display the 12 month period based on the month selected (the month selected would be the last month of the 12 month period).
For the report I’ve previously created that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month, the WHERE statement filters the
resultset on two fields:
Start Date - The date the patient was assigned to the practice. This field is never null or blank.
End Date - The date the patient left the practice. This field can be null or blank as active patients assigned to the practice do not have an End Date. When the patient
leaves the practice, the date the patient left is populated in this field.
Using these two fields I can return all patients assigned to the practice during Nov 2012 by looking for patients that meet the following criteria:
start date prior to 11/30/2012 (using the last day of the month selected ensures patients added mid-month would be included)
AND
end date is null or blank (indicates the patient is active) OR the end date is between 11/1/2012 -11/30/2012 (returns patients that leave during the month
selected)
Regarding the query I need to create for the report that displays the peak count each month for 12 months, I'm looking for advice on
how to count patients for each month the patient is assigned to the practice if the patient has been assigned for several months (which applies to most patients). Examples are:
John Doe has a start date of 6/01/2012 and an End Date of 10/07/2012
Sally Doe has a start date of 8/4/2012 and no End Date (the patient is still active)
Jimmy Doe has a  start of 7/3/2012 and an End Date of 9/2/2012
Given these examples how would I include John Doe in the peak monthly count each month for May - October, Sally Doe in the peak monthly count for
August - December and Jimmy Doe in the peak monthly count for July – Sept if the end-user running the report selected December 2012 as the parameter?
Given the example above and the fact I'm creating a line chart I think the best way to create this report would be a resultset that looks like
this:
Patient Name
Months Assigned
John Doe
June 2012
John Doe
July012
John Doe
Aug 2012
John Doe
Sept 2012
John Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Aug 2012
Sally Doe
Sept 2012
Sally Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Nov 2012
Sally Doe
Dec 2012
Jimmy Doe
July 2012
Jimmy Doe
Aug 2012
Jimmy Doe
Sept 2012
From the resultset above I could create another resultset that would count\group on month and year to return the peak count for each month:
June 2012 - 1
July 2012 – 2
Aug 2012 - 3
Sept 2012 - 3
Oct 2012 - 2
Nov 2012 - 1
Dec 2012 - 1
The resultset that displays the peak count for each month would be used to create the line chart (month would be the X axis and the count would
be the y axis).
Does this sound like the best approach?
If so, any advice on how to create the resultset that lists each patient and each month they were assigned to the practice would be greatly appreciated.
I do not have permissions to create SPs or Functions within the database but I can create temp tables.
I know how to create the peak monthly count query (derived from the query that lists each patient and month assigned) as well as the line chart.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. I reviewed them shortly after they were submitted but I'm also working on other projects at the same time (hence the delayed reply).
Building a time table and doing a cross join to my original resultset gave me the desired resultset of the months assigned between dates. What I can't figure out now is how to filter months I don't want.
Doing a cross join between my original resultset that had two dates:
08/27/2010
10/24/2011
and a calendar table that has 24 rows (each month for a two year period)
my new resultset looks like this:
I need to filter the rows in yellow as the months assigned for stage 3 that started on 8/27/2010 should stop when the patient was assigned to stage 4 on 10/24/2011.
You'll notice that Jan - Sept 2011 isn't listed for Stage 4 assigned on 10/24/2011 as I included a filter in the WHERE clause that states
the Months Assigned value must be greater than or equal to the date assigned value.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Best way to create pop-up menu's

Hi All,
I have been having a heck of a time doing something that i
would have assumed to be relatively simple - specifically creating
a pup-up menu.
My first set of approach was to dynamically create a movie
clip on a button rollover, and within that movieclip create several
other movie clips that i then assigned actions too. The problem was
that since i applied a action on "rollout" on the initial movie
clip, it became a button, and as such all of the sub
movieclips/buttons became in active (any click was only detected on
the parent).
My second set of attempts have been around the MenuComponent
(see other posts), but here too i have hit problems, initially with
animation and depth. I solved the animation issue, but the depth
problem remains.
Now, i see pop-up menu's everywhere, so i assume that this is
a relatively simple problem - so what am i missing. A google search
showed up lots of examples of how to do using menu that are created
in the UI (rather than purely in AS), using purchased components.
The first case is not an option since i need to create it fully
dynamically, the second would be an option - however i typically
need a far greater level of visual control than off the shelf
components provide (hence i have needed to build up my own class
library for many common tasks).
So after all that, i have a simple question.
"What is the best way to create a dynamic popup menu in
AS2?"
Regards
Neil

I guess you want to make your own popup menu, if I understand
correctly. Nothing simpler, your first attempt was in the right
direction, you just don't assign button actions to the parent clip,
because you won't get the child clips to work, but add another
child at the lowest level inside the parent, that acts as a
"background" clip/button.
And for the rollout for the entire popup, you can add a
transparent clip just under the popup (which is at the currently
topmost depth) covering the entire stage, give it rollover that
acts as your rollout, and make it not use the hand currsor, so you
can't tell it's there.
That's how I do it, anyways..

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CREATE AN XSD FILE (TO BE USED BY SOAP ADAPTER)

Dear friends
I have a simple scenario.
OUTBOUND DATA --> SOAP ADAPTER --> ( XI ) --> RFC ADAPTER --> INBOUND DATA
The XML file that I got from mapping area of IR (Design) is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_NAME_SOURCE xmlns:ns0="http://test3.com">
<FIRSTNAME>DAVE</FIRSTNAME>
<LASTNAME>SMITH</LASTNAME>
</ns0:MT_NAME_SOURCE>
If you notice, there are only 2 fields.
I need to create an XSD file and import it as an external object, which I can use for SOAP Adapter.
Which is the best way to create it.
Also, I need to know if there is any step by step of sending a message from XML SPY. I have downloaded this software, but am not able to undertand how to use this.
Hope to hear from any experts on this forum.
Thanks in advance
Ram

Hi Ram,
See the below blog..
It shows how to send SOAP message using XML Spy.
It also shows how to generate wsdl.

What is the best way to create business documents in CRM

Hi All,
What is the best way to create business documents like contract, sales order, debit memo etc in CRM ? Unlike R3 we can't use our good old BDC with recording. Moreover for most of them although there are Business Object but no BAPI to creation so what is the way ? I found in SDN there are two MAGIC Function module CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE. Do I need to that alawys ?
Is it nees to via IDoc and cannot be done just by calling from ABAP program ? The input parameter of the FM is a complex deep structure.
Please help.

Ashim,
Try looking at the program:
CRM_TEST_ORDER_MAINTAIN
I think that should help you figure out the parameters.
Good luck,

Best way to create slide show with last photo having links

What are some of the best ways to create a slide show (more like a season greeting flash) with the last photo having links and buttons for the viewer to click?
I already have the code for the slide show. What I need now is how do I reference or point to a keyframe that contains the last slide as the background with buttons and hyperlinks? Perhaps, I also need a way to not showing this slide until the last? How do I do that? This last slide with buttons and links are on it's own layer.
The other route would be to create the buttons and hyperlinks in the AS3 code instead of design time. If so, how do I do on the last slide?

What is the best way to create a database schema from XML

What is the best way to create a database schema from XML?
i have a complex XML file that I want to create a database from and consistently import new XML files of the same schema type. Currently I have started off by mapping the XSD into Excel and using Mysql for Excel to push into MySQL.
There must be a more .net microsoft solution for this but I cannot locate the topic and tools by searching. What are the best tools and way to manage this?
Taking my C# further

Hi Saythj,
When mentioning "a database schema from XML", do you mean the
XML Schema Collections? If that is what you mean, when trying to import XML files of the same schema type, you may take the below approach.
Create an XML Schema Collection basing on your complex XML, you can find
many generating tools online to do that.
Create a Table with the above created schema typed XML column as below.
CREATE TABLE youTable( Col1 int, Col2 xml (yourXMLSchemaCollection))
Load your XML files and try to insert the xml content into the table above from C# or some other approaches. The XMLs that can't pass the validation fail inserting into that table.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon!

What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple PXI(Real-Time) to GUI PC?

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple Real time (PXI) to GUI PC? I have 16 Nos of PXI system in network and 1 nos of GUI PC. I want to send command to all the PXI system with using single variable from GUI PC(Like Start Data acquisition, Stop data Acquisition) and I also want data from each PXI system to GUI PC display purpose. Can anybody suggest me best performance system configuration. Where to create variable?(Host PC or at individual PXI system).

Dear Ravens,
I want to control real-time application from host(Command from GUI PC to PXI).Host PC should have access to all 16 sets PXI's variable. During communication failure with PXI, Host will stop data display for particular station.
Ravens Fan wrote:
Either. For the best performance, you need to determine what that means. Is it more important for each PXI machine to have access to the shared variable, or for the host PC to have access to all 16 sets of variables? If you have slowdown or issue with the network communication, what kinds of problems would it cause for each machine?
You want to located the shared variable library on whatever machine is more critical. That is probably each PXI machine, but only you know your application.

What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

There is no way to import pages documents to Aperture and convert them to an Aperture book. Aperture books can only be created by manually adding images and text to the pages of a book, and using the layout of the predefined templates.
The best you could do, would be to print your pages document to pdf and import the resulting pdf file into Aperture as a new project. This will create one image for each page. Then select the page images all at once and create a new book. Select a theme with fullsize page images, like "picture Book", and then add the images of the pages to the empty pages of the book.
But probably would you get a much better quality and layout, when you recreate your pages document in Aperture, by starting with an empty book and copying and pasting the text from your Pages document. But don't paste the photos from the document - try to use the originals of those photos.
