Controlling position of thumbnails using variables

Hi the code is attached for reference.
This action script controls a photo gallery
I need to modify the dimensions of the movie clip. I was able
to change the position of where the main image clips and also where
the thumbnails appear at the starting point, however when the
scroll pane starts to move to left and right I cannot control it's
position any longer. I need to show the thumbnails about 500 from
the left of the flash and make sure it will stay this way. Right
now, when I mouse over the scroll pane the thumbnails start moving
to the left all the way to about 4 pixels from the left of the
movie.
Can someone help. I am providing links for the difference
between movie clips. Any help is super appreciated.

cool thank u so much! I've tried to change the X and Y on the
code that is attached to the frame, but its still loading in in the
same place. Take it its here that you set the positions? whats the
100 value that is attached to the button?

Controlling table column alignment using variable

Hi I'm new to Javascript, having only used Applescript before.
I'm using Indesign 5.5 on Mac and I'm learning Javascript by adapting old Applescripts that I have been using for years.
So, with an existing table, one of the things I want to do is to set the alignments in the columns using a varible. Here's what I've tried so far:
function setColumnWidthsAndAlignments()
    var myWidths=[29, 23, 13, 13, 13, 13];
    var myAlignments=["leftAlign","leftAlign","centerAlign","centerAlign","rightAlign","rightAlign"];
    var numberOfColumns=myTable.columns.count();
    for (c=0;c<numberOfColumns;c++)
        myTable.columns[c].width=myWidths[c];
        myTable.columns[c].cells.everyItem().texts.everyItem().justification=Justification.myAlignments[c];
but I get an error
-- Object does not support the property or method 'myAlignments' --
If I discard the variable myAlignments and just put leftAlign for example, it works, so maybe I'm not declaring the variable properly?
I know I could add a few extra paragraph styles and cell styles and style the table that way, but I though this would be a good learning exercise (besides which I want to limit the number of paragraph styles in the document - there are enough already!)
If anybody is really interested, I'd like to place the whole script here and would really welcome any feedback on how the structure could be improved or optimised or just tell me if I'm heading in the right direction.
Thanks and regards,
Malcolm

You'd probably have more luck trying something like:
var myAlignments = [Justification.LEFT_ALIGN, Justification.LEFT_ALIGN,
Justification.CENTER_ALIGN etc.]
and then in the other line: ...texts.everyItem().justification =
myAlignments[c];
Alternatively, you could try keeping it as you have it, but perhaps
changing it to this:
texts.everyItem().justification = eval("Justification."+myAlignments[c]);...
which just creates a string and then runs it with eval.
At any rate, the problem as I see it with what you have is that you
myAlignments is an array of strings, and you cannot access a property of
an object (in this case Justification) with a dot+string. When you put
"Justification.leftAlign" and it works, I think that's because leftAlign
isn't acting as a string -- it's simply a property of the Justification
object.

Can I use variables in mxml tags?

I want to control a lot of details in a layout. I need to use variables to do this. Of course I can use AS. Is there a way to do it in the MXML tags? See the code below. I can do the "myLine.x = lineX" in AS. But is there something like: x="{lineX}" to use in a tag? (This gives a warning, though it does work.) It would make life faster if I could...   Is there a "right" way to do this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        ]]>

            <s:SolidColorStroke color="0xff0000" weight="2" />
        </s:stroke>
    </s:Line>
</s:Application>

Hmm, thanks, that's very useful to know.
I guess that means I should use AS. It's not something I need to update often. Rather, I have a whole bunch of groups of components/graphics that I want to line up based on each other--and when I change my mind about the size or position of one thing (possibly inside a container a level or two), I'd like to be able to just change one variable name rather than have to change them all by hand. But AS can do it just fine.

How to use variables in data slices?

Hello,
in BI-IP I have tried to use variables in a data slice.
The user should fill these variables.
How can one use and fill these variables?
Thank you
Daniel

Hello Horst,
data slice is a very strong system lock. It is normally not a good decission to allow users to control this part becuse it sould be in administration of a responsible person.
If you allow users in the web to open or close data slices, this is like a "open period" funtion in financials: Think about what could happen, if anyone else than the responsible person could do that....
This is my point of view.
I would do it in anoter way: Create an User exit and fill a variable like desribed above. You read each line and make a decission whether the user might see this line or not (e. g. period open? yes or no?). The period and the status for the period could be maintained in a table or in a characteristic. table might be easier.

Eckhard

How do i filter the records in analytic view by using variable/parameter for a time range

i have a analytic view which has a output column as date type. i want the user who use this view have the control to decided the output records based on a time range (from x to y).
i tried to create 2 variables, 1 for start_time, 1 for end_time. Ideally, i should have a expression for filtering data like this:
$$start_time <= date_column <= $$end_time
However, the variable windows doesn't seem to be feasible for the expression as above.
Does anyone has the same problem and get it solved?
Thanks!

just figured out by my own. So the answer is using "variable" with "range" option.
Making a variable, then set the "selection type" to "range".
When preview the data, the variable input window pops up with operator on default "equal", use dropdown list to swtich it to "between", then you can enter the start_time and end_time as a range filter.

Using variable in Grand Total Label

Hi All,
I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on Windows Vista.
Can we use variable values in Grand Total label in pivot and table views?
For eg. If user chose 2013 in dashboard prompt and we saved that in a presentation variable and want to use in the Grand Total label
so that instead of text "Grand Total" we can show "Fiscal Year 2013 Total".
Regards,
Vikas

I dont think but you may go for custom captions
You can refere @ for 'Grand Total'
In caption Year@ results YearGrand Total
Other workaround : Use Narrative views to refer the variables, you might need to call variable in any of column expression and call it @n
where n is for column position from left to right

JSlider or similar for controlling position in sound files help please.

You know how winamp, wm player , etc, and JMStudio all have a "slider" bar to control position, along with a "numeric readout" of the current position.
Fairly new to Java, but know this isn't a difficult thing to do, just haven't found out how to do it.
Do not care if it is with JavaSound API or JMF, either is fine, just learning.
Have read up on Sliders at:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/slider.html#labels
But do not understand how to implement it with Audio file usage.
My goal as a new programmer is to create a simple audio playing Applet:
For a GREAT idea on what it will basically do check out:
JMStudio:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/jmstudio/jmstudio.html
My goals are to have:
Applet
GUI with: Pause/Play button and a SLIDER to control position, just like described.
Have it load and play an audio file when a link is clicked on using the PARAM tag from html
I know about the open source/commercial products,,,, but I'm trying to learn, and those are too in depth to try and learn from right now, trying to take baby steps, and having difficulty finding anything beyond play()
loop() and stop()
searched google, groups, yahoo with various phrases.
Thank you!

You have to use a JSlider and combine its events with the setMediaTime method of the player.

Problem in SELECT TAG using variables

Hi all,
I have a JSP page which updates the record for a user.Now there is a HTML select tag and when the user queries its data this SELECT tag will automaticaly select the user stored item in database automatically. It means the select tag will have a variable to select the options. Now how can i use variables in SELECT TAG. Please help needed.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but here goes.
First, are you able to populate the select box with all the names... this is what it sounds like to me.
Or are you not able to populate it nor select it.
I use JSTL for all my jsps... so for me I would store a collection on the form and then iterate through it. (arrayList being my preference)
look into using <c:forEach> or you could try <logic:iterate> which I've used before but it has been several years.
here is an example block of code.
Sorry this is going to be a bit convoluted because of what I'm doing with it..
but I have an ArrayList that contains string arrays... position 0 being the value I want returned (like 1 through 10) and position 1 being the text representation..
so it comes out like
1 - Option 1
2 - Option 2
You will notice the if statement where I check to see if the localList[0] is equal to the view field. view would be your selected value.
<SELECT name="view" size="7"
     multiple="multiple" class='OmniDlgLabel'>
               <c:if test="${sessionScope.PHI2Form.localList!=null}">
                    <c:forEach var="localList"
                         items="${sessionScope.PHI2Form.localList}" varStatus="status">
                         <OPTION value='<c:out value="${localList[0]}"/>'
                                   <c:if test="${sessionScope.PHI2Form.view==localList[0]}">SELECTED</c:if>>
                         <c:out value="${localList[0]}"/>-<c:out value="${localList[1]}" /></OPTION>
                    </c:forEach>
               </c:if>
</SELECT></TD>There is an extra > that I cannot get rid of.. should be there after the
<OPTION value='<c:out value="${localList[0]}"/>'

Using variables in shape's coordinates - urgent

Hi,
how can i draw using a variable to set the shapes coordinates ?
i need to increment this variable to continue drawing in the panel
at the last position.
LIKE THIS:
g.fillRect(490,210,300,100); ==> it works
g.fillRect(x+100,y+100,150,150); ==> it doesn't
x=x+100;
y=y+100;
when i scroll the panel and back to see the shape, it disappears.
This happens because I am using variables in the coordinates of the shapes. Then, when the variable is incremented, the shapes lose its initial position.
how can i do it ??? PLEASE HELP ME.
THANKS.
here is the code to execute. its very simple.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class SamS extends Frame
public SamS()
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent ev)
dispose();
System.exit(0);
ScrollPane sp = new ScrollPane();
Board pan = new Board();
sp.add(pan);
add(sp);
setSize(700,500);
setVisible(true);
public class Board extends Panel
int x=20;
int y=20;
public Board()
super();
setLayout(null);
setSize(2400,2400);
setBackground(Color.white);
public void paint(Graphics g)
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.fillRect(10,10,100,100);
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.fillRect(410,410,100,200);
g.setColor(Color.orange);
g.fillRect(490,210,300,100);
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.fillRect(x+100,y+100,150,150);
x=x+100;
y=y+100;
public void update(Graphics g)
paint(g);
public static void main(String args[])
new SamS();

Your incremented values (x and y) are out of the visible area as the repaint method will be called many times while scrolling. Increment your x and y to lesser value (say 1 or 2).

In the above procedure if i substitute the values with hard coded values i.e. AR_orgid = 123 & pcountry = 'Austria' then it runs faster.
Please let me know why it is so ?

Move used variables/strings

Dear all,
I try to use Dasylab to control and collect data from several equipments at lab (thermostat, stirrer, syringe pump, manostat, thermometer...). Now I have prepared several worksheets (each for single equipment) and it +- works (it is necessary to complete with some functionality but for collecting current lab data it is sufficient). The worksheets works, but only for single equipment, but I need to work with all of them. So I rebuild the worksheets that the each equipment is packed at black boxes (each worksheet one black box ant it works). Then I save all of black boxes and put them to one worksheet. Unfortunately, the worksheet prepared this way doesn’t work because there are problems with global string and variables. When I save the black box, I don't save the string/variables definitions. For instance the expression of one string in original worksheet is calculated automatically this way: "R" + SubStr( "000",1, 3-(${VAR_51}>=1000)-(${VAR_51}>=100)-(${VAR_51}>10)) + StrFmt(${VAR_51},8,0)+${STR_52} to prepare output string "R0120\r". I am able to export and import global string and variables but only as whole package of 999 variables. I don’t know how to move only used ones (I am able to move them at TXT format, but I am not able to read them to Dasilab as variables).
I have two questions:
1 - Is there any possibility to set "calculate expression automatically" for string/variable during running of program (using some action module or something like that)?
2 - Is there any possibility to save only used strings/variables and collected several packages of variables to one (for instance VAR_1-VAR_50 for thermostat and VAR_100-VAR_150 for thermometer)?

I found that if I used the Define Global Variable dialog, and clicked the Save button, it gave me a choice of saving defined variables (those whose settings are not the default) or variable with descriptions.
I saved the file. It gave me a file that included all of the information.
I tried to use the Global Variables and Strings Import dialog, but the file was not ordered correctly.
I opened it in Excel and changed the columns around to match the Help (see picture). Then, I saved it as a TXT file again.
It imported with some errors - notably the additional settings, such as read at start, do not import. The one formula that I created imported correctly.
I think that you can save the used variables from your various worksheets, combine them into one file, change the order of the columns. Since it's a text file, you can change the variable numbers if you need to...
Unfortunately, you cannot import strings this way, as the Help says "DASYLab can only read in strings from VAR formats." Personally, I agree that this is a major limitation!

Error-Receiver File Adapter using Variable substitution when file is empty

XI Experts,
We are on PI 7.0, SP14.
We are using variable subtitution to get the filename from source message. This works fine as long as we have data in the payload for filename element. But we have a scenario where we don't have to create file when certain condition does not exists in source message so in the message payload filename element will not exists in such condition and file will be empty and we should not create file.
Parameter in the communication channel for Handling empty message is "Ignore".
Does anyone knows how to handle this scneario. We don't want to default any file name in the message mapping if source file name element does not exists.
We are following getting error in the Adapter engine.
MP: Exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: file: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: file
Thanks
MP

You can implement this by writing the module to throw an exception or whatever method you want to execute.
If you don't want to receive an error message then module is suitable for you.

Using variables to insert data in the table

I want to insert datas in the table. I use constants,
all the constants are stored properly in the table. But,
when I use variables I get the error message
"Too few parameters. expected 6".
(I declared all the fields of the table as text only.)
My program is "newt.jsp"
<%@ page language="java" import="java.sql.*" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>storing customer information in the database</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
String cno1 = request.getParameter("cno");
String n1 = request.getParameter("n");
String add11 = request.getParameter("add1");
String add21 = request.getParameter("add2");
String phone1 = request.getParameter("phone");
String email1 = request.getParameter("email");
Connection con = null;
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:customer"," "," ");
Statement statement1 = con.createStatement();
Statement statement2 = con.createStatement();
statement2.executeUpdate("create table cust1 (cno varchar(20),n varchar(20),add1 varchar(20),add2 varchar(20),phone varchar(20),email varchar(20))");
statement1.executeUpdate("insert into cust1 (cno,n,add1,add2,phone,email) values(cno1,n1,add11,add21,phone1,email1)");
catch(SQLException sqle) {
System.err.println(sqle.getMessage());
catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
System.err.println(cnfe.getMessage());
catch(Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
finally {
     try {
     if(con!=null) {
          con.close();
catch(SQLException sqle) {
System.err.println(sqle.getMessage());
%>
<br><br>
Mr./Ms. <%=n1 %> <br>
Your datas have been stored.<br>
</body>
</html>
Those who know answer please reply.
My thanks in advance.

I would expect your insert statement to be this:
statement1.executeUpdate("insert into cust1 (cno,n,add1,add2,phone,email) values('"+cno1+"','"+n1+"','"+add11+"','"+add21+"','"+phone1+"','"+email1+"')");
If you just create a string, it's not going to fill in variables into the string by magic.

Using variable with the same name as field name?

I have a complex proc where I have variables with the same name as field name used on a query. something like this:
SELECT a.id_table WHERE a.id_table = id_table
where the last id_table is a parameter sent to the proc:
declare procedure myproc(id_table int)
Is there any way or notation to declare the variable inside the query as a variable or I have to use a different name?

Well, variables are not the only thing you have to change if you want to switch to Oracle.
Although I don't think it is good practice (to use variable name same as column name), here is one example how you can achieve it using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and bind variable
SQL> select deptno, count(1)
2 from scott.emp
3 group by deptno;
    DEPTNO   COUNT(1)
        30          6
        20          5
10 3
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> declare
2 deptno varchar2(10);
3 i number;
4 begin
5 deptno:=10;
6 execute immediate
7 'select count(1) from scott.emp where deptno=:deptno' into i using deptno;
8 dbms_output.put_line('OUT ---> '||i);
9 end;
10 /
OUT ---> 3
