Creating instances of symbols with unike instance-names in Actionscript 3

Hey
I was wondering if it is possible to create a large number (lets say 100) of symbol instances where each of the different instances had its own unike instance- name and later . The names beeing something like ball1, ball2, ball3, etc..
Normally i would just create all these and manually give them their name, so a solution to this would spear me alot of time.
Thanks

How to auto create a global variable with specific variable name in a global vi ?

how to auto create a global variable with specific variable name in a global vi using lv ? Because i need to add a lot of global variable in this global vi. But you know, if i manually add them , it will be a much time-costing work. So i want to use someway to auto generate ? Can i ?? Thanks a lot !

Hi
what aartjan is saying is the way for you. but you can develop an utility which will actually help you create global variables. To get the details on this just have a look at VI Scripting section on LAVA forum.
But i would like you to suggest few things
1. If your programs have so many global variables (Thats why u want utility) then you should take out some time to read about LabVIEW design patterns. I think if programmer follows these practicess he dont need a single global variable.
2. Their are some other ways to achieve similar functionality as of global variables (Uninitialized Shift Registers, Single Element Qs and so on) but they are much faster than global variables.
I am Attaching Whatever Resources i am having I will also attach the template of the design pattern i generaly use in short duration

Here's a very simple example that should get you started:
var howMany:int = 100;
var itemNameList:Array = new Array();
function populateScreen() {
     for(var i:int = 0 ; i < howMany ; i++) {
            var newBox:box = new box();
            addChild(newBox);
            newBox.name = "box" + i;
            itemNameList.push(newBox.name);
            newBox.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth/2;
            newBox.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight/2;
     trace(itemNameList);
populateScreen();
Have a movieClip in the movie's Library with a class name of "box". Create a new instance of that object, add it to the display list and then set a name property. I then added each name to an array so that you can keep track of the objects. I then placed each one at a random location on the screen.

Reducing a SWF file size / creating "instance names" for website loading time improvement

Im hoping someone clever can help...
What i have done so far:
1) Created a flipbook using indesign CS5.5 that contains approx 25
images (embedded PNG's), these need to be good quality as this is a
portfolio - I'd also like to keep the 'page curl' effect. This makes the SWF generated cira 25MB.
2) created a Flash website "wrapper" to hold the above flipbook and add
features such as "bookmarks", links to other sites and forward/backward
page navigation buttions.
The issue we have is that because the flipbook SWF is 25MB the site
load time is slow.
What can be done to speed this up without compromising the image
quality?
1) Is there a way to make the indesign SWF smaller?
2) is there a way in indesign to properly give each page an
"instance name" so that they can be controlled from flash and therefore
I can load each pages image as and when needed.
any other ideas?
(If you'd like to visit the website to view the loading issue http://www.lizblackdesigns.co.uk)
Thanks

these need to be good quality as this is a portfolio
The approach to your portfolio website seems very outdated and will not help you in the near future. Flash is being used less and less with the increase in Mobile Devices being used to access the internet - a large chunk of which include Apple's iDevices which don't support Flash. This alone is a reason not to do it, however there are a few other big issues with the method you have chosen.
There is no "content" on your website for any search engine to find. No text. No meta data. No image alt tags. No titles. Nothing. In other words, your website will not be found by the people you are trying to attract. I would imagine for a portfolio site, you may want to re-think this approach.
The way the Flash file was created is the worst possible way to add Flash to the web as you have only embedded image files - and this is your entire site?! You could have included some text, which would have been viewable by search engines, and used color shapes to increase quality but lower filesize.
The filesize meant it took me over 1 minute to get off your home page. The average internet user will leave your site if you do not keep them interested after 5 seconds. In other words, you should have content of interest viewable within 5 seconds of load time.
If you are set on keeping the Flash setup for your website, re-build using as much text, color shapes and lines as you can (vector work in other words) and do not rasterize/export as image. This will drastically reduce load time and increase quality. You will also want to divide your file into sections and create more than 1 HTML page so that the browser only loads a bit at a time. You might also want to set a maximum size container for the Flash file as on my browser, it looks extremely pixelated and is very large, but unclear.
I would suggest looking into HTML5 if you are keen to create a website that can be viewed by around 98% of the web surfing people and it will also mean you can use an image slider (or similar) to show good quality images of your work. This will aid your site in being found by search engines but will also allow you to update sections of the site without re-publishing the entire Flash file.

Creating Dynamic Internal table with a dynamic name

Hi,
I want to create dynamic internal tables with dynamic names.
For example:
Suppose I have a table with three fields.
1. Structure name
2.Fields
3.file
And the structure of the internal table is as follows:
TYPES:BEGIN OF table_type,
      struct                  TYPE char70,
      fields                   TYPE tt_type OCCURS 0,
      File                      TYPE ttab_type OCCURS 0,
      END OF table_type.
Suppose I have one record inside my internal table with struct as "STRUCTURE", fields have an internal table content of set of fields and File has some set of records.
Now I want to create dynamic internal table whose name will be "STRUCTURE" , the fields of the dynamic internal table structure[] will be as in fields, and the records will be as in File.
Like this if i have 100 records in my internal table then I have to create 100 dynamic internal table dynamically.
Can anyone suggest how to do this?

Create a Homescreen Symbol with custom URL Scheme

Hi People,
I hope you can help me.
As the subject said I want to create a Home-screen-Symbol with a URL Scheme. Meaning a Link that directs me to a Note in Evernote.
If I Enter the URL in Safari it takes me there, that works perfect. Now I want to use the "Add to Home-screen" Function of Safari to create a Symbol that takes me to that Note also.
But there is also my problem: Safari immediately opens the App and I can't use the Function and if I get back to safari the tab with the URL is already cleaned up.
Does someone know a trick where I can create such a symbol or edit the URL of an existing Symbol?
First of all: Jailbreaking is no Option here.

Does it work without iWeb?
As in : a webpage with code you typed yourself.
If so, then display that page in an <iframe>. Or paste the code in a HTML snippet.
My impression is, that iWeb only allow http:// URLs.
And do you really want to install an app on someone's iPad just by clicking the link?
Why not provide a link to the app in the App Store?

Unable create a target file with the same name

Hi,
I have to pick an attachment from a web service and place the attachment in
a folder, with the same name (Attached File Name). I tried this using SOAP to file
scenario. Using SOAP, I'm able to get the attachment inside PI with the same
name, but not able to generate the file in the receiver end.
Please let me know if this is possible or else is there any other way to do
it.

Deepak Ravi

How to create a new folder with a different name everyday

Hello everybody,
I have another question if you don't mind. But first thank you again to V.K and red menace for helping me with the my previous post.
This is actually the same project, I just keep on seeing new obstacles when I'm almost done.
Below is my workflow. My workflow is exporting a quicktime movie to a folder in our server.
What I need to do at the end is to move the exported file into a folder but a folder needs to be created and it has to change at about midnight everyday.
For example today the file will go to Server>Client folder>File folder named 09-04-2008
Then the next day, I need to put the new exported files to Server>Client folder>File folder named 09-05-2008.
First, how can I create a sequential named folders and second how can I tell Automator to put the files in the right folders. This process is a 24 hour process.
Thanks for you future help.
Helmut
1) Get Specified Finder Items (Pointing to File Folder)
2) Get Folder Contents (tried checked and uncheck on Repeat for each subfolder
3) Get Specified movie ( I guess Filter finder items and choose .mov will work too)
4) Quicktime Export (exporting it to the Exported Folder)
5) Get Specified Finder Items (Pointing to File folder to get to the original file)
6) Get Folder Contents
7) Filter Finder Items (choose .mov)
8) Move Finder Items ( pointing to Archive Folder to move the original file)
9) Get Specified Finder Items (Pointing to Exported Folder)
10) Get Folder Contents
11) Filter Finder Items (.mov)
12) Move Finder Items (Pointing to Server Folder)

It doesn't look like there is an easy way to do this. The sort and filter actions don't let you use variables, and I haven't found any actions that will alter a list. Making a text file with the name of the newest folder seems kind of clunky, but it is an option.
What I was thinking about was an action that would take the first item in a list - then you could get your backup folders, sort by creation date, and just take the top one in the list (the newest one). Hmmm - this should be fairly straight-forward, so maybe I'll write an action
In the mean time, give the Run AppleScript action in the following workflow a try.
Tested workflow:
1) Ask for Finder Items (Type: Folders)
2) Get Folder Contents
3) Sort Finder Items (by creation date in ascending order)
4) Run AppleScript (the following script)
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters}
return the first item in the input list
input: a list of anything
output: the first item, or {} if none or error
set output to {}
try
set the end of the output to the first item of the input
end try
return output
end run</pre>
5) View Results
The above workflow should return the newest item in the selected folder.

Creating a Movie Symbol with Various FLV files

I am new to using video inside of Flash CS3. I have a series
of video clips that I want to play in succession. So, I created a
movie clip symbol which, byitself, plays just fine.
What I want to accomplish is a starting frame with some
words, movie clip and then an ending frame with logo.
When I try to play the movie, the words show up fine, but the
movie clip doesn't play...what happens is the first frame shows up
and then loops back to the first frame with the words....and even
though I have looping turned off, it keeps doing it (acting like it
is looping).
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to implement Actionscript?
HELP!
Thanks so much!

I don't think your explanation is very clear. Can you either
be more specific or include a sample fla file? I mean, there are
questions as to are you importing flv files or embedding them, how
your time line is set up, etc.

When publishing to my ftp site, iweb creates a sub folder with the same name as the url

... in other words, it publishes the material to the url "www.website.com/website.com"
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

The sitename is not an URL. It's the name of the folder.
The whole address is the URL.
You can rename the sitename if you want.
And read this post how you can avoid the sitename in the URL :

Any way to for a class instance to ask what its instance name is?

Hey. I have a class which needs to create a movie clip on the
stage. Since each instance of the class will only ever have 1 movie
clip on the stage at a time, it seems reasonable that I have the
instance create a movie clip with its own name, prefixed with "mc_"
or something of the sort.
Here's where I don't know quite what to do... How do I get at
this information? For instance, when you a dealing with an XMLNode,
you can simply use...
the_answer = xmlNodeInstance.nodeName;
...I know the analogy fails, but hopefully you know what I'm
looking for.
Thanks!

hu....
and when you create your movie clip, (assuming you don't just
build it at authoring time) you specify an instance id through the
createEmptyMovieClip function....
taking a cue from this, I'm guessing that my answer is to
change the structure of what I'm doing a little... instantiate my
object with an instance name as a parameter given to the Class
Constructor... that way the class can have it's own name on file.
I guess my only concern there is how do I keep the "name"
variable from being just completely arbitrary...?
I guess I'm getting away from application (becaust I don't
know when I'd do this...) and into theory.... but for instance,
let's say I create my class like this:
var instanceReference:mySuperCoolClass = new
mySuperCoolClass("instanceName");
So. I have my class instance... ideally, the class would
exist on the stage as "instanceName", with "instanceReference"
being another way to reference the instance. That would be ideal...
but how do I make that happen? Because in the scenario of what I've
just done, I see the class instance existing on the stage as
"instanceReference", and I've just passed it a fun, but meaningless
bit of data called "instanceName"...
I suppose I could have the class go back to "_parent" and
create it's own object.... but here again I'm getting into
territory that feels a lot like i have no idea what I'm doing...
haha!
I guess I have enough info to get back to coding for now...
But I'm deffinately open to more tips... I feel like I'm still
missing how a lot of this works.
(I'm at that awkward place where I can easily explain what
OOP is, but I'm far from experienced in how to implement it... I've
only written about half a dozen classes so far... so I still have a
lot to learn. Thanks for your patience, all of you!)
