Easy timeline question

Sorry...having a Shane moment and can't figure out this shortcut (user manual and "option-h" don't have the answer either). I read about a keyboard shortcut that allows you to select all clips left or right of the scrubber, rather than zooming out, dragging a highlight, then zooming back in. Can't remember it. Anyone?
boy, do I feel sheepish.

Jonathan:
Addendum
You can add some custom buttons to your layout with the "t", "tt", "ttt", etc select tools.
That's faster than pressing several times the same key and less confusing.

Havent a clue! Please help! Easy ABAP Question!

Helly Gurus
I am loading from a dso to a cube and doing a lookup on a second dso.
eg
'Name' is in the DSO1
I lookup 'Address' from DSO2
Then load to the cube.
The problem is there may be more than one address so although I have coded the lookup to
find all addresses, I do know how to get these into my results.
Only the first address it finds is there.
loop at DATA_PACKAGE.
    select * from DSO1 where
    NAME = DATA_PACKAGE-NAME.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      move-corresponding DSO2 to itab1. collect itab1.
    endif.
    endselect.
endloop.
What do I need to do to get all of the results?
I am in 3.5 so do not have the use of an End Routine.
Thanks
Tom Tom

you need to do several treatments in fact you need to add records on the data_package (by the way it is not an easy ABAP question as you mentioned !)
So
Treatment 1: select all the records from ods2 table of adresses outside the loop
    select names adresses
    from ods2
    into table g_itab_ods2
      for all entries in data_package
      where name eq data_package-name.
Treatment 2: delete double records of the internal table.
    delete adjacent duplicates from g_itab_ods2 comparing names adresses.
Treatment 3: loop over the data_package. Within this loop read the internal ods2 table and loop over it to assign the corresponding adresses. Then append the results to the temporary data_package_tmp and move all the records to the initial data_package.
loop at data_package assigning <data_fields>.
   read table g_itab_ods2 into l_g_itab_ods2
      with key name = <data_fields>-name.
      if sy-subrc eq 0.
        loop at g_itab_ods2 assigning <adresses>
        where name                = <data_fields>-name.
          <data_fields>-adresses= <adresses>-adresses.
          append <data_fields> to lt_data_package_tmp.
        endloop.
      endif.
    endloop.
    data_package[] = lt_data_package_tmp[].
free lt_data_package_tmp.
this should do what you want to do. hope this could help you out.

Easy movie clip / timeline question... please help.

This is a pretty simple question about something I just cant
figure out.
I have a movie with 2 frames. On the frist frame are two
buttons. On the second frame is a movie clip. In the movie clip are
two labeled frames, "ball" and "box" for two parts of an animation.
One part plays a ball bouncing. The other plays a box rotating.
What I want to happen is when you click the ball button it plays
the movie clip and starts on ball. When you click the box button it
plays the movie clip and starts on box. The code for the buttons is
simple:
boxButton.onRelease = function ()
anim_mc.gotoAndPlay("box");
ballButton.onRelease = function ()
anim_mc.gotoAndPlay("ball");
The movie works fine as long as the movie clip and the
buttons are on the same frame, frame 1.
But if I move the movie clip to frame 2 it does not work.
Why!!!??? How do I point the button to play the movie clip on frame
2?
It will work if I just send the button to gotoAndPlay("2");
obviously, but what if I want to target specific frames?

I tried this like you said:
boxButton.onRelease = function ()
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
zoom_mc.gotoAndPlay("box");
Thinking it would go to frame 2, then play the movie clip
starting on frame "box" within the movie clip. But it doesnt. Of
course, it plays frame 2, and the movie clip plays, but only on
frame 1 of the movie clip, it does not go to "box" which is in the
middle of the timeline of that movie clip.
I guess there is no way to do this?
Accessing labeled frames within a movie clip from a buttion
on the main timeline requires that the button be on the same frame?
This seems strange.. I guess.....

Can't edit multiple tracks - plus 2 easy audio questions

I have a sequence with 1 video track and 6 stereo audio tracks. I set an in and an out point. The area on the clips in the timeline between the two edit points highlights, I hit delete. Normally, the tracks between the points should disappear as the two segments come together and form one great edit.
But all the tracks do not highlight and edit. The video track and stereo audio tracks 3+4 and 5+6 highlight and LIFT off. But audio tracks 1+2 do not highlight or edit. And the whole sequence doesn't close together where the edit should be.
Only way I have been able to overcome this is to use the razor blade tool, cut each track individually. Highlight them all, and then hit delete.
This didn't use to be the way. FCP used to edit through one track, 3 tracks or all tracks, no problem.
Two audio questions. How do you stop the waveforms from drawing onto the clips in the timeline, in order to speed up FCP?
How do you get the audio in captured clips to be a Stereo Pair, from the outset?
Thanks to all you who help!

Is it usual for FCP to bog down on a 4 minute piece when audio wave forms are turned on??
<
No. Should run fine. You get up into 6-12 audio tracks, FCP gets all moody and pouty.
But it depends on your system's capabilities and how well you have chosen your sequence settings.
Audio waveforms n FCP are a cruel joke compared to many other NLEs. Often easier to leave them off in the timeline, use the waveform in the Viewer and set markers for hooks in the audio tracks.

Easy runtime question

So I bind a variable in an ActionScript and store a value at
compile time. Now I want to update that var at runtime, say
calculate a meal.

I had the following Java versions listed on one computer and one of them would not uninstall, so I am wondering how much of a problem that might be for the end user.
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03
Java(TM) 6 Update 3
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.1_15 (this one is "stuck" within "Add/Remove Programs" listing)
After removing all of the above Programs and rebooting the computer I installed "jre-6u7-windows-i586-p.exe" which translates as "Java(TM) 6 Update 7" (137.00 MB) for us simple humans to read.
Suggestions:
It would be great if the naming conventions of these programs made a little more sense or if the Downloads area of the Java web site had a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) prominently featured at the top of the page explaining the history of these versions. I have been supporting the installation of these Plug-ins or Programs for several years and feel it has not gotten any easier with regards to names.
It might even be nice to see a Timeline of versions showing:
Java(TM) 6 Update 3, Released January 2008
Java(TM) 6 Update 7, Released October 2008
This would allow people using specific pieces of older software, as mentioned above, to have some idea of whether the version of Java they find on their machine is the appropriate version for some in-house application that was written and released in December 2007 (for example).
If a web-based office application I use was written in February of 2008 then I might feel confident "Java(TM) 6 Update 3" is the right version for me!
If this is confusing for me as an I.T. support professional, I can only imagine how the End Users view these cryptic file names!

A few magnetic timeline questions.

I've gone back 10 pages and not found these topics. So a few questions.
1) When I delete a clip a gap is left. One should have the option of Ripple-delete AND Non-ripple-delete. Is there a Ripple-delete> How does one SIMPLY delete the gap?
2) Even in TRIM mode, somtimes a trim doesn't ripple. Bug?
3) Although there are no tracks -- below the string of clips -- there is a an odd set of "shadow clips" that match the clips above. What are these?
4) When clips are deleted, these "shadow clips" remain but no longer exactly below the actual clips. What's going on?
5) When draging clips, they'll pop up or down "tracks." What's going on?

"Do yourself a favour and actully take a little time to learn how to use it before you criticise it."
Having written a book on iMovie I certainly agree with learning an application.
BUT, after 20 years of using almost every NLE -- it seems crazy that simply sending a clip to a timeline and deleteing a clip from a timeline would -- given it's Apple software -- not be intutive!
Frankly, watching a tutorial seems overkill when you were able to point me the right direction with a few words, "OK. None of your clips are on a storyline."
Perhaps what's needed is TIP in Apple's PDF for those who come from iMovie and have zero reason to bother with stories and magnets. TIP:
1) Click Append to send to Timeline after setting IN and OUT on a clip in the Event Browser.
2) Press delete to remove a clip with ripple.
3) Press forward-delete to delete leaving a gap.
4) Drag a video-only or audio-only clip, after setting IN and OUT on a clip in the Event Browser, above or below an AV clip to create an "insert."
5) Drag edges to trim -- which oddly works in both A and T modes.
For me everything else about FCP X seems intuitive -- although I have not yet found a way to place a clip at a TIME so it doesn't move. In other words stick to a spot. Gee, isn't that what tracks are for.
So now that FCP X is mostly working for me I'm happy. But, iMovie is still faster at: Rotate clip in Event Browser; place clip as Cutaway, PIP, etc.; apply Ken Burns effect. For ME speed and ease is what makes an NLE "superior." When I want power I use Media Compser or FCP.
Thank you for your help!

Easy swing question for Java friends

Hi could somebody test this short application and tell me why the "DRAW LINE" button doesnt draw a line as I expected?
thank you very much!
Circuitos.java:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.URL;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class Circuitos extends JApplet {
     protected JButton btnRect;
     protected Terreno terreno;
     private boolean inAnApplet = true;
     //Hack to avoid ugly message about system event access check.
     public Circuitos() {
          this(true);
     public Circuitos(boolean inAnApplet) {
        this.inAnApplet = inAnApplet;
          if (inAnApplet) {
               getRootPane().putClientProperty("defeatSystemEventQueueCheck",Boolean.TRUE);
     public void init() {
          setContentPane(makeContentPane());
     public Container makeContentPane() {
          btnRect = new JButton("DRAW LINE");
      btnRect.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            terreno.pintarTramo();
          terreno = new Terreno();
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          panel.add("North",btnRect);
          panel.add("Center",terreno);
          return panel;
     public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Dise�o de Circuitos");
          frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
               public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                    System.exit(0);
          Circuitos applet = new Circuitos(false);
          frame.setContentPane(applet.makeContentPane());
          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);
}Terreno.java:

public class Terreno extends JPanel {
     Graphics2D g2;
     public Terreno() {
          setBackground(Color.red);
          setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,500));

I don't think the date I became a member has anything to do with it. Yes, I signed up a year ago to ask a question or two when I didn't know anything. It wasn't until recently have I started to use this forum again, only to try and help people as well as ask my questions. It took me a year to get to this point to where I can actually answer questions instead of just asking. So don't be silly and judge a person based on their profile.
Secondly, I agree with you, the search utility is great. I use it all the time and usually I'll find my answers, but if I don't is it such a pain in the butt for you to see the same problem posted again?? I know how much you want people to use the resources available before wasting forum space with duplicate questions, but it's not going to happen. Some people are not as patient and you being a butt about it won't stop it.
My point in general is that there are nice ways to help people and even rude ways, and your comments at times come across rude to me, even condescending. You have a lot of knowledge, therefore certain things seem trivial to you... but try to understand where some of the new people are coming from. The Swing tutorial is extremely helpful but if you don't understand the concept of programming or java that well... then it can be overwhelming and you don't know where to start. It's a huge tutorial and when people are stuck they just want an answer to their one question. Most figure it's easier to ask someone who already knows instead of reading an entire tutorial to get their answer.
I've learned by both methods, by taking the time to research it myself and by asking a lot of questions. I have the time. Some don't. Please realize that not everyone is like you and they will continue to ask whether you like it or not. You have a choice, either help them or not.

Audio Not Showing in timeline Question

I keep having a problem and was wondering if others have experienced this and what the issue might be. I have a bunch of audio files that were recorded in a studio as WAV files. I import them fine into CS3 and see the files in the preview monitor, but when I drag it into my seguence, nothing shows up. The audio still plays, but there is nothing to be seen in the timeline. It makes editing things hard since I don't know exactly where the audio starts. I took my CD of Wav files and brought them into ITunes and made them MP3 files, but it still does the same thing. Anyone else have this problem or know a solution?
Thanks

Open Format Timeline Question

Hello,
I'm planning on switching to FCP soon. I am editing on premiere right now and if I get a positive answer to my question I will probably make the switch really soon.
I have a project coming that includes SD footage, HDV and XDCAM EX. Would I be able to edit in real time in Final Cut Pro even without any cards (AJA or Blackmagic)?
Thanks a lot.

Yes.
Will you need to eventually render? Yes.
Will the quality be EXCELLENT on all formats? No. SD blown up to HD won't look the best.
Can you mix frame rates? 23.98 and 29.97...25? Well, it will work, but it won't look good. Mixing formats is one thing, frame rates is entirely different. Best to match frame rates before you edit, and if you do that, might as well make the codecs match too. Because mixing frame rates is a BAD thing. Avid doesn't even let you do it. FCP does, and people think that they can then get away with it and are shocked when it looks juttery and horrid.

Help Please! Timeline Question with Invisible Buttons

I am new to FLASH and have created a rotating banner for our website with 5 roatating images with 5 invisble buttons linking to 5 landing pages. And it works the first loop through. However when it gets to action 5 for my last image, that link continues for all the buttons is subsequent loops. What do I need to add to my code to get the actions to loop like the timeline is looping?
Code used for the links. This is the link that continues after the first run of the banner:
var url5:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.facebook.com/MoDOT.KansasCity");, onStageClick5);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK
function onStageClick5(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(url5,"_blank");

i can't tell what's causing your problem but that code doesn't look right. use:
var url5:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.facebook.com/MoDOT.KansasCity");
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK
function onStageClick5(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(url5,"_blank");

"Easy Setup" Question: best setting?

Howdy. I'm creating video with my HD Kodak Zi6 and the output looks a bit squished. (I'm fatter than usual.)
I've had this trouble before and suspect that I have the wrong setting checked in Easy Set Up.
What do you folks recommend?
Thanks.
Brad in Denver

Hey Tom, I've been reading a lot of your posts on this forum advising not to get the Zi6 if you want to edit in FCE, but I bought the camera before I found them. I was meaning to ask why this is a bad camera to use, because I've been able to open and edit footage in FCE as well. By going to File > import. I used the easy setup:
Format - HD, Rate - 29.97, Use -HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30
Here is a link to a few clips thrown together with some transitions. I don't really know what I'm doing, so, it's terrible. (You've been warned)
http://www.vimeo.com/3956558
I'm really thinking about returning this camera though if it is terrible to pair with FCE, because the only reason I got it was to start learning FCE. I only have 2 days left to return it though. So I need to figure it out real quick. Do you think I should pay the restocking fee and get a cheap used DV camera off amazon/ebay etc?
Appreciate all your help and posts.

Timeline question

I am using iMovie HD 5.0.2 (111).
The story in my Timeline is complete. Yet the playhead keeps playing for about two extra minutes despite the fact that there are no more clips or audio. It's supposed to stop at the end of the sequence, correct?
I think this is throwing my exported QT file out of synch. When I try to play the QT file in Final Cut Express and FCP, the audio and video are out of synch.

Sometimes iMovie leaves the remains of an audio clip at the very end of the movie. This is just a few frames long and hard to see and delete. Try zooming in the timeline as much as possible and scroll extreme right. It should be there!

Easy DMS Questions

1. When Creating a DIR thru EDMS, must it be assigned a number using a defined number range?, Can it not be an External and determined by user?
2. Folder Numbers (Same ? as above)

Hi John,
generally it is recommended that documents in EasyDMS allow the usage of internal numbers. That means for the document type used in EasyDMS in internal number range should be maintained in transaction DC10.
The usage of external number could be useful for folders and is required for the 2 standard EasyDMS folders:
private: <userID>
public: EDIPUBLICROOTFOLDER
Here the number is assigned externally. For other documents and folders you can also use external numbering during the creation process if you navigate to the tab "Technical Details". Here you can enter a document number as well but this is not that easy when using Drag&Drop function for example.
Best regards,
Christoph

Quick DW Timeline question

Please help! I'm trying to jump to a specific frame in a
timeline in dreamweaver, conditionally, based on a value passed in
the url. I know this should be simple enough, but I'm a little at a
loss at how to modify the MM timeline javascript that executes when
the page loads.
I added a "go to frame" instruction on frame 1, thinking I
can easily modify it and specify which frame to go to based on a
value in the querystring.
Within my MM timeline code, I found the part that specifies
which frame to go to on frame1:
document.MM_Time[0][6].frame = 1;
document.MM_Time[0][6].value =
"MM_timelineGoto('Timeline1','2')";
I just need to know how to insert an "if, then, esle"
condition in the second line based on a value in my url query
string. For example:
document.MM_Time[0][6].value = "MM_timelineGoto('Timeline1',
if request.querystring('jump")=true then '65' else '2')";
Can anyone help me with the correct syntax to use for this?
Much appreciated.
Christopher
