Button using changing Instance Names

I have multiple button using the same button from my library.
I have given the all instance name and if I put that instance name
in from of my addEventListener the button works fine. However, I
have a lot of buttons on the stage so I want to be able to write
some thing the will get the instance name on roll over and place
that in front of the event listener. I am trying to avoid writing a
line of code for each button. Can this be done?

you should start here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/
go to packages->statements, keywords, & directives
you can't just ask what a for loop is. it shows you haven't
done any investigation at all as that is a very basic programming
construct. you need to learn some basics before you ask people what
to do. if you have trouble with a particular topic or getting
something to work, that's what this is for, but it's not to teach
you the language. there's way too much to learn and too many people
asking. get a good actionscript book and it will take you through
the basics.
i recommend:
O'reilly Essential Actionscript 3
good luck

Changing Instance Name - spfile

Hello guys,
i've got a little question about changing instance names and values.
For example i got the following spfile (only example values):
*.db_name=DB1
DA1.shared_pool=9000000
DA2.shared_pool=8000000
and so on...
So the db_name DB1 is valid for all instance identifiers.
But how can i specify manually with which instance name the oracle db server should start? (for exampe DA1 and DA2)
The standard spfile name can also not be used, because of oracle searches normally for $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileSID.ora file?
And which value is preferred, if i have a value for all instances (*.shared_pool) and a value for the specfied instance (DA1.shared_pool)... which parameter is valid if both are specified in the spfile?
Thanks and regards
Stefan

hi,
Every Instance having there own spfile<sid>.ora.hmm that sounds very strange to me. Because of the option with the identifier in front of the parameter (*= for every instance, DA1 = only for instance with name DA1).
I read about the advantage only having one spfile for more instances (for exampe RAC).
So maybe there is a possibility, to start an instance with the specified name (in my example DA1 or DA2).
I don't want to change the DB name... only the instance name so that i can easily start the same db with different parameters (=different instance name)..
Thanks
Stefan

Warning: conflicting use of instance name

Hey guys,
Recently a rather weird warning began to pop-up every time I publish my movie. It says this:
Warning: The instance name 'icon' is declared on an object of type flash.display.MovieClip but there is a conflicting use of the instance name 'icon' on an object of type flash.display.InteractiveObject. (Symbol 'bt_login', Layer 'icon', Frame 14)
There is only one object on the 'icon' layer, the icon movieclip itself. On all keyframes it is named 'icon'. On Frame 14 there is no keyframe at all. What exatctly should this warning mean? Thanks!
F.

you should remove all code from objects and attach to the timeline. for example, assign an instance name to the movieclip that has that enterFrame (eg, mc) and use:
mc.onEnterFrame=loopF;
function loopF():Void{
this._x = this._x + (_root.intSlideToX – this._x ) /5;
this._y = this._y + (_root.intSlideToY – this._y ) /5;
if(Math.abs(this._y-_root.intSlideToY)<1&&Math.abs(this._x-_root.intSlideToX)<1){
this._y=_root.intSlideToY;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
when _root.intSlideToX or _root.intSlideToY change, restart the loopF

Change Instance Name

Is it possible to change the name of an Middle-Tier Instance and/or the Infrastructure Instance after installation of 10gAS 904?
Bob

You have changed hostname(servername) you can follow below:
you have to rename SQL server hostname:
sp_dropserver <old_name\instancename>;
GO
sp_addserver <new_name\instancename>, local;
GO
Restart the SQL Server services.
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2525/steps-to-change-the-server-name-for-a-sql-server-machine/
You cant change installed instance name of SQL, so SQL instance will be CON.
Understand you may have CON as database but your instance name is also CON. Thats why you are seeing MSSQL$CON.
CON was select as instance name when performing SQL installation.
There is no command to rename an instance. You will need to install a new instance with name REX side by side, move the databases by whichever method you'd like (backup & restore would be fine) and drop the previous instance or have 2 instance running.

Changing instance names

Hello everyone i have a bit of a problem here
I am writing a program that will allow a user to create and design their own computer network. Now the problem i am having is that i want them to be able to add networking components(routers, switches, etc) to a JPanel. These are just labels at the moment with setIcon set to whatever is needed. Anyway i can get them to add say anumber of router icos but i want for every icon that is added a new instance to be created for that icon to differentiate it from the others. I know it sounds a bit mad and maybe i am going about this the whole wrong way any input would be greatly appreciated
ronmon

sorry about the vagueness of my post. What i want to do is create a component
JLabel label1 = new JLabel();
add this to a JPanel
addcomponent(label1,30,30,50,50);
this i can do but the user is going to be able to add new labels to the JPanel by pressing a button. But i need each label to be referred to by a different instance name
i.e.
1st label would be named label1
2nd label would be named label2
3rd label would be named label3
the important thing is that this is all done at runtime. Is there anyway to do this if you have some code that would be brilliant
Thanks again for your help

Buttons null; losing stage instance names

Hello, I apologize if this question has already been asked but as the title states I'm having problems with the instance names of my buttons. I am using Actionscript 3 with Flash CS5. I apologize in advance for being verbose but it'd be best if I explained my problem in detail.
I have my project set up so that everything occurs in one MovieClip and buttons within the MovieClip are clicked to navigate through the MovieClip. The MovieClip contains several frames which are all unique and contain a variety of textboxes, MovieClips, buttons, classes and other custom classes. All of these components are created directly in Flash Professional by dragging them from the library onto the stage inside of the MovieClip.
I then name these components using Flash Professional and use these instance names to work with the components. Usually this works without a problem. However, now that I am using a nested MovieClip for my project many problems are occuring. I have it so that when buttons are clicked, the MovieClip goes to a certain frame via the gotoAndStop(x); command. This works fine but I am having problems accessing the buttons that I have named earlier. It gives a null object reference error and when I trace the button it traces as "null".
Originally I thought that this problem was because the MovieClip had not yet initialized but I had used the ADDED and RENDER event listeners, Timeline scripting, and other methods but the button was still null, leading me to believe that the problem was more than that.
So I used a click event listener that traced the instance names of the components that I was clicking (trace(e.target.name)). I have a total of 8 buttons on the specific frame of my MovieClip so I clicked on them all. 6/8 of the buttons traced the correct instance name that I had given them whereas the other two buttons traced "instance 169" and "instance 177" instead of the instance name.
With all this strangeness, I commented out the code for these 2 specific buttons to see if it would work without them. Sure enough it did.
I believe that my buttons have lost their stage instance names and I do not know how to fix this problem. I have tried deleting the buttons and creating them again but to no avail. It does work, however, if I use the Button component that Flash has but I do not want to do that because I'd like to use my own custom buttons (I know the Button component is customizeable, but I'd like to use my own anyways).
If anyone could help, please how can I fix this problem? If my .fla or specific code needs to be provided, I can do so.

Without looking at your code I can't say 100% what is going on. However, I suspect what is happening is that you're doing the following:
Your button is on stage in frame 1
You add an event listener to that button
At some point, you go to a frame where the button does not exist.
When you come back to frame 1, your listener doesn't work anymore
Or some variation of above, where an instance was on the stage, is removed, and even though it appears to have been added back you can't reference it anymore. I've discussed fixes for this issue in depth in this article, but it all boils down to the fact that when the object is removed from the stage the variable that contained the instance the first time will go to null, and then when you go back to the frame with the instance on it, the variable will be populated with an instance which is probably not the same as the first one.
If the problem is what Ned Murphy speculated, you can easily fix it by setting mouseChildren to false on the buttons.

Instance names arnt working for Global Locator

Hi, i am trying to navigate through my scene, I have several

have so far is.
_global.locator;

play();
_global.locator = "contact";
};

CIB?
There is no issue with giving a component an instance name, you have to if you want to reference it from code. The instance name is in the same spot as it is for any display object, in the properties panel...

Flash actions and instance names

Hi, i'm after some advise on how to navigate around the timeline using buttons. I know this sounds simple but i'm running into some daft problems.
I've added a single instance for a button called 'button' which appears on multiple keyframes. This button only appears once per keyframe but some of the actions are getting mixed up. I know that i can create multiple instances to get around this but in principle i cant see why having one action attached to one instance per keyframe would cause an issue regardless of that fact i have the same instance appear on multiple keyframes. Should flash be behaving like this?
Andy

Hi Ned, what i have is a layer called actions that hosts a number of actionscripts with a keyframe for each script. To save time i usually create the first frame using unique instance names and then i simply copy and paste them into subsequent keyframes. So each KEYFRAME has unique instances. I thought that by doing this i would save time by not having to re-name or reposition each instance that appears on my timeline - this would take a long time not to mention the complications it would cause should i decide to shuffle a few frames about later on. For the majority of the time everything works just fine but occasionally the timeline will jump to somewhere totally unexpected. the problem is compounded by the fact that many of these buttons control video playback, so you can imagine the mess this is causing.
If what i'm doing is bad practice then i'll happily do it the right way by naming each instance but i'm still struggling to see why actions are getting mixed up when they run on their own keyframe.

Changing the name of the computer

Hey all, where do you go to change the name of the computer? I want to know bc when i go to the system profiler theres a (2) behind the name of that i have chosen. I dont know where this (2) came from and i would like to change it.
Thanks!

Go to System Preferences > Sharing. The name of your computer is in a box at the top of the preferences panel. Click on the edit button to change the name.
If the choices in the Sharing preferences are grayed out, you will need to click on the padlock in the lower left corner and enter your password.
Hope this helps.

Scale out question: how does instance name affect primary/secondary node

Hi:
OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4, Windows 2008
On a test instance the following happened:
1. Enterprise install of OBIEE 11g had problems
2. Reinstalled OBIEE 11g, but the installer created an instance2
3. All was well with this install
4. Performed all necessary shared catalog and RPD steps
5. On a second server, installed OBIEE 11g using the scale-out option
6. On second server, this created an instance1 directory
7. All components start up and we can log into OBIEE using either server1 or server2
Question:
Does OBIEE use the instance names in a scale-out? Our primary node is instance2 and the secondary node is instance1, though on a separate server. Will this cause a problem?
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
This can be run on any of the replicas that the availability group participates in to return the primary instance:

on nim.ag_id = ags.group_id
WHERE nim.ag_name = 'MyAvailabilityGroupNameHere'

General Question About common Instance Names in Flash CS4 (AS3)

I tried something interesting recently. I had code effecting an object with the instance name : object_mc.
Now I added another object and gave it the same instance name.
The result was, that the code only effected the most recent added object (no error).
Is there a way in flash to have multiple objects with the same instance name all being affected by one piece of code?
~ Thanks for any thoughts, advice or facts. ~

Advice: avoid it... if you want to control different instances, give them different instance names.
It depends on what you mean by "one piece of code". Directly using the instance name to target the movieclips will work as you have seen already... Last one added gets the attention.
To use the instance name to take action is doable more along the lines of testing each movie to see if it has the name, but still, you would have to target each using a different means.
For the piece of code below I have some number of objects on the stage and I test to see if they have an instance name assigned (object_mc) that is shared by some of them, and I am able to move them if they do, but I cannot use the instance name to target each of them for action... in this case I use the getChildAt method.
for(var i=0; i<this.numChildren; i++){
if(this.getChildAt(i).name == "object_mc"){
this.getChildAt(i).x += 200;
object_mc.x += 25; // only moves the last object added

Changing default name of FDF file created by submit button

Hi all,
I was wondering if there was a way to change the default file name used by acrobat when the submit button is clicked. Currently, when a user clicks the submit button on my form, acrobat allows them to generate an FDF file and either save it to their hard drive or attach it to an email, but uses the file name "<name of pdf form>.fdf" I would like to change this to a unique ID that is generated based on form data. I didn't have any problems generating the UID, but I can't figure out how to change the name of the FDF file.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks.
Jose

Do you sign the document before extending the features? If you do then make sure "Lock the Document after signing" checkbox is not checked. Try this:
Clear all signature fields.
Click on the field that you want to sign
"Sign Document" window will appear
In the left bottom corner this check box will appear.
Uncheck it.

How do I change a name of a button in a Flash movie?

Hello everybody,
I'm newbie with Flash and I have a problem.
I have a flash movie, which I want to use as a header for a website. When I play the movie, I have 5 different buttons on it. When I open through Flash the .fla file it shows me that there is one button copied 5 times.
How do I change the name in one of the buttons in the movie, I want when I play the movie, to have a different name on the button, but I don't understand from where do I change the name, if all the buttons I have in the .fla file has the About me name, I suggest the name is the same because all the buttons does the same effect when you go over them.
I would appreciate some help!

I'm assuming you mean you want to change the label that displays on the button when you run the file. Flash allows for a variety of ways to approach a design, so there is no ready-made answer. If all of the buttons appear to be the same in the fla file, then chances are they are getting their labels from actionscript code.
What you probably need to do is look thru the actionscript code that might be in the first frame or so of the timeline. You can identify frames containing actionscript because they what appears to be a lower case "a" in them. If you click on such a frame and open the Actions window, you will see the actionscript code. Look for any code that has the button labels you see when you run the file.
You might also have some other file(s) that came with the fla, such as an .as file or a .xml file. If so, you may need to look in these files also.
