Exectue a function at the beginning

Hi,
I need some help here, I have an action in my backing page that reads an xml file and creates menus, and I would want to execute this action right after the jspx page is created or during the creation.
I don't want to use neither appModule nor the page definition, if there's other way.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
AiDiL

Hi AiDiL,
You could try a PhaseListener to achieve that. The phase you would be interested in would be beforePhase with PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE.

Any ideas on a cleaner way to write this? - run through a function with multiple steps; if any step fails, restart the function from the begining

Basically there are 3 different functions for various "tests"; they each return "1" if the test passes and "0" on failure. A "master" function calls these 3 functions in the desired order and keeps a counter
of tests that pass. The counter has to be 1 to proceed to step 2, has to be 2 to proceed to step 3, and when it's 3 the loop closes.
This approach is giving the expected results, but I was wondering if anyone has ideas on a cleaner approach? What I really wanted to accomplish was to have the 3 tests past in succession and to provide an overall pass and proceed to the next step;
and also to exit the function if any step fails rather than running through each step before trying again. If the script were to for example loop through the 3 tests and wait until each one passes, tests 1 and 2 might pass, but then 3 might fail
a few times and finally pass before the script exits. I did not want to allow for that scenario to count as an overall pass.
Function Test1 {
If PASS Return 1
If FAIL Return 0
Function Test2 {
If PASS Return 1
If FAIL Return 0
Function Test3 {
If PASS Return 1
If FAIL Return 0
Function TestAll
[int]$counter = 0
$Check1 = Test1
If ($check1 -eq 1) {$counter++}
If ($counter -lt 1) {Exit}
Start-Sleep -s 15
$check2 = Test2
If ($check2 -eq 1) {$counter++}
If ($counter -lt 2) {Exit}
Start-Sleep -s 15
$check3 = Test3
If ($check3 -eq 1) {$counter++}
If ($counter -lt 3) {Exit}
Return $counter
Do {$STATUSCOUNT = TestAll}
While ($STATUSCOUNT -lt "3")

This is cleaner:
Function Test1 {
If PASS Return 1
If FAIL Return 0
Function Test2 {
If PASS Return 1
If FAIL Return 0
Function Test3 {
If PASS Return 1
If FAIL Return 0
Function TestAll{
while($true){
while($true){
$counter=0
if(($counter+=Test1) -ne 1){break}
if(($counter+=Test2) -ne 2){break}
if(($counter+=Test2) -ne 3){break}
return
Write-Host ('try again' + $counter) -fore
TestAll
Of course all of your test functions have syntax errors.

How to modify a Visual Studio project for having traces at the beginning and the ending of a function

Good afternoon,
I am working on a Visual Studio project (written in C) and in order to do some debugging, I would like to add traces.
This can be done in different ways:
int function_1();
{ #ifdef DEBUG
printf("function_1\n");
#endif... }
=>But as this implies that I need to copy the name of the functions everywhere, this is a lot of work.
A better approach:
int function_1();
{ #ifdef DEBUG
printf("%s \n", __FUNCTION__);
#endif... }
=> This is already better, but I still need to add those lines of code everywhere at the beginning (and the end) of my functions.
So I'm wondering, would it be possible to modify my Visual Studio project in such a way that some lines of code are added at the beginning and the ending of a function, and this for a whole file, project, solution? Does somebody know how to do this?
Thanks
Dominique

Hi Experts,
Could you let me know if there is a FM to find the "Begin Date of the Year".
I appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Do you want the Begin date of the <b>current</b> year..Try this..
DATA: V_DATE TYPE SY-DATUM.
V_DATE = SY-DATUM.
V_DATE+4(4) = '0101'.
WRITE: / 'Beginning date of the year ' , v_date.
If you are mentioning about the Fiscal year..Then you can use the FM PERIOD_DAY_DETERMINE

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
     var pos = sym.getPosition();
     if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
          sym.stop(0);
          clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Fred

Any way to reset videos to the beginning?

Im sure that those here who use iTunes to view videos are aware of the function that makes iTunes remember where you stopped watching the video.
I find this quite useful if I am watching long movies that are a couple of hours, but if I watch a short podcast, say Happy Tree Friends. After the toon is over they start to roll the credits, and I don't want to see that. So I close the window or if I'm on my iPod I press menu.
But the problem is that the next time I want to see the same episode and I start to play it, it automatically starts in the end, where there are only credits!
Is there no way that I can like reset it? Like select all my videos in iTunes except for the long ones and reset them so that they all start from the beginning?
It is really bugging me out if I want to see a video I watched ages ago, and then it starts in the middle of the video!
I hope there is a reset function in iTunes, otherwise Apple should do one.

Yes thank you that solved it! Great!
I did not try this because in the Swedish iTunes it says "Kom ihåg plats" and if you translate that it means kind of "remember place". So I asumed that it had something to do with playlists and not the playback.
Thanks for the help!

[Web Dynpro]How to add a new function in the implementation of a view?

Hi, all,
   I'm trying to add a inputfield check method in the viewname.java , the method is used to check all the 12 inputfields in the view, at least one inputfield should be filled.(Is there any other methods I can use to do this job?)
however, when I clicked the save meta data button, the function disappeared from the viewname.java. The import statements were still there and showed that they are never used...
   Could you please give me some hints to avoiding this?
   I want to save my function in the viewname.java.
Thank you in advance.

Hi folks,
I'm somewhat new to WebDynpro and when I want to declare my own methods I generaly put them at the bottom of the file underneath the comment;
   * The following code section can be used for any Java code that is
   * not to be visible to other controllers/views or that contains constructs
   * currently not supported directly by Web Dynpro (such as inner classes or
   * member variables etc.). </p>
   * Note: The content of this section is in no way managed/controlled
   * by the Web Dynpro Designtime or the Web Dynpro Runtime.
//@@begin others
This way I can delare them as private methods for the class. Am I wrong in saying that anything you declare in the 'Methods' tab will be public?
Since I'm new to WebDynpro I don't know all the best practices so any clarification here will be appreciated.

Make an alert box at the beginning of every month

I'm writing a budgeting tool and at midnight at the beginning of every month I want to pop up an alert saying it is the start of a new month and enable a button in jsp.
I have tried a couple ways to do this. First I wanted to keep creating a calendar and check if the date was 1. But then this would be much more work than is needed.
Next I tried to use the TimerTask class and set a boolean to true at the first of every month, but then I couldn't figure out how to make the javascript run when the run method of that thread executes. I tried using a while loop in the jsp page itself to check the boolean but this just caused the page to hang.
A third idea I was trying is to have an invisble form with a hidden field using this boolean. I was trying to figure out a way to use onChange to trigger the javascript, but this would only work for some sort of visible input.
Anyone have any exprience on scheduling a task like this at the beginning of every month or about how to force a page to reload at a specific time? Thanks.

You could even put that in a frame with a form to navigate a seperate frame:
//frameset
<html>
<frameset frameborder="0" framespacing="0" rows="26px,*">
<frame scrolling="no" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"
    marginwidth="0" name="frameA" noresize src="testingB.jsp" />
<frame scrolling="no" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"
    marginwidth="0" name="frameB" noresize src="http://www.google.com" />
</frameset>
</html>
//then your time-important page (called testingB above)
<html>
<body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function navigate() {
          var navigateTo = document.forms[0].address.value;
          if (navigateTo.toLowerCase().indexOf("http://" == -1)) {
              navigateTo = "http://"+navigateTo;
          parent.frameB.location.href = navigateTo;
          return false;
        function doAlert() {
            alert("Time to do Something");
            window.location.reload(); //so it will happen again next month.
<%
    //When first created, the calendar points to now.
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    long curTime = cal.getTimeInMillis();
    //then, lets set it to the 1st day of the month, at 00:00:01.00 (1 second after midnight
    cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
    cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
    cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
    cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 1);
    cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
    //finally, add a month to get the first second of next month
    cal.add(Calendar.Month, 1);
    long triggerTime = cal.getTimeInMillis();
%>
        //set the doAlert to occur after the # of milliseconds between now and
next month.
        setTimeout("doAlert()", <%= (triggerTime - curTime) %>);
    </script>
    //form will read address you type in input, and navigate the other frame there.
    <form onSubmit="navigate();" name="nav">
      <input type="text" name="address" size="100" style="margin:3px" />

Help on getTimer() function = affects the main animation...

Layers scenarios:
Layer 1: pics animation
Layer 2: text animation
Layer 3: graph animation
Layer 4: a movieclip()
Here's goes, inside the movieclip on Layer 4 it is nested down to bubble movieclip which inside is an actionscript that animates the premade animation for the bubble just attaching those movieclips to an empty movieclip.
The problem goes like this when I test the movie in the first maybe 5 or 10 seconds the animation seems just fine but after several seconds the animation becomes slower in the root timeline. It seems that getTimer() affects the animation, as far as I know getTimer() function returns the time the swf file begin playing in milliseconds. The code I was working on is based on the getTimer().
What would be the work-around with this kind of scenario? I guess theres another function that works the same as getTimer that cannot affect my main animation.
By the way, my animation on Layer 4 which is nested movieclip is a random bubbles with total of 200 instances.
Thanks and more power to us all!

Okay. Here is what I came up with. I'm not sure exactly what was in your timeline animated tweens. So perhaps this isn't what you wanted at all....
All you need is the bubble artwork (set to export as "Bubble") and this code. It is full of "magic" numbers that I just fiddled with until I thought it looked pretty on my machine.
Some important bits are the part where when the bubble gets off the top of the screen it removes itself.
var home:MovieClip = this;
var counter:Number=0;
var totalBubbles:Number=200;
clearInterval(bubbleIntervalID);
var bubbleIntervalID=setInterval(attachBubble,150);
function attachBubble() {
var curBub:MovieClip = home.attachMovie("Bubble", "bubble", 1000+counter);
curBub.blendMode = "hardlight";
curBub._y = Stage.height + 100;
curBub._x = (Stage.width - 50) * Math.random() + 50;
curBub._xscale = curBub._yscale = Math.random() * 60 + 40;
curBub._alpha = Math.random() * 80 + 20;
curBub.vy=-(Math.random()*5+1)
curBub.ay=-Math.random()/30
curBub.x0=curBub._x;
curBub.var1=Math.random()*100;
curBub.var2=Math.random()*300;
curBub.factor1=Math.random()/100;
curBub.factor2=Math.random()/200;
curBub.onEnterFrame = floatUp;
counter++
if(counter>totalBubbles){
clearInterval(bubbleIntervalID);
function floatUp() {
this.vy += this.ay;
this._y += this.vy;
this._x = this.x0+this.var1*Math.sin(this._y*this.factor1)+this.var2*Math.sin(this._y*this.factor2) ;
if(this._y<(-this._height)){
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.removeMovieClip()

Is it possible to define a function in the MathScript Node

Is it possible to define a function in the MathScript Node

You can not define a function inside of a MathScript Node, but only because it isn't necessary. The way custom functions work in MathScript is that they are saved in .m files located in paths in the MathScript path list. When the MathScript compiler receives a function that it doesn't recognize, then it searches for it in the path list, and upon finding it, compiles and loads the function. You can specify these search paths manually by going to File>>MathScript Preferences from the MathScript Window or dynamically by using the path() command within a script.
To answer your original question, if you would like to create custom functions dynamically within a VI, then you can simply build your custom functions using strings and then save them to an ASCII file with the extension .m. You could either save the file to a path already in the MathScript path list or you could dynamically specify the path by passing the path into a MathScript Node as a string and by using the path() command at the beginning of your script to set it.

Simplest way to display a title or caption at the beginning of each scene?

I am editing a video to make an instructional dvd covering 23 separate lessons. Without some kind of text in the first few seconds of each scene, there is no way for the viewer to quickly and efficiently distinguish one scene from another as they jump forward or backward from scene to scene. They would have to go back to the main menu between each scene to find the one they're looking for, and that's cumbersome.
I would like to add a caption/title (not sure what the technical Adobe term is -- I'm obviously an amateur) to the screen at the beginning of each scene. It can be a text overlay on top of the video, or it can be a blacked out screen (or whatever) with text that lasts a few seconds before each scene begins. I just need something to let the viewer know which lesson they are about to see.
I went through the footage and added scene markers at appropriate places, and the menu is functional. Now I'm looking for the most efficient (least time-consuming) way to accomplish my goal. It looks like one alternative is to manually split the clips at each scene change, then go to sceneline and insert a title between each scene, then manually type in the text that corresponds to my description of each scene. I hope this isn't the only, or the most efficient way.
Anyone know a simpler alternative? The simpler the better, as only a few people will be using the dvd so I don't want the cost (measured in editing time and effort) to outweigh the benefit of viewer convenience. Thanks in advance.

I agree with Steve G. on adding the Titles from the PrE Titler function. Also, being new to PrE, this article on Titler might be useful, before you get tripped up by a few aspects of a New Title: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4976998#4976998

High-pitched hiss at the beginning of p

Hi,
I recently bought a Zen Micro. Everytime I press the play/pause button (or if a skip forward/backward) to start playing a song, I hear a whine hiss for about seven seconds on the top of the beginning of the song. I noticed also, when I am using other functions while playing, the same hiss appears. It's not as loud as the song volume but since I listen mainly to classical music I am hearing the hiss once in a while on silent parts of the music.
Is this normal? Anyone noticed this? Or is just my player?
Thanks

What you may be hearing is the amplified voltage used to write the song into RAM so as not to use the HD all the time during playback.
As to why you hear it ... I have used quite a lot of different earphones with the ZM, from the really cheap to the expensi've, and have not witnessed this.
I would say that if you do hear a higher voltage converted to sound output, then the conduct line for the sound inside the ZM is not isolated correctly somewhere.
Let me tell you why I think this: I recently installed a new lamp in my room, and did that quite amateurishly. After having finished, I noticed that my speakers would play up when I switched it on. I isolated all the bits of the cable that I had cut or merged to get it to the right length, and the crackling was gone. You have, in all probability, some lamp in the house that will make, e.g., a radio act up if you connect to a power outlet directly connected to the one you have the lamp in.
Cheers,

lack of email app- makes this may purchase virtually useless. because
cant bridge with my bb 9700. maybe twice after deleting from both, and rebridging, i got connections. i cant spend an hour bridging every time. since may this is unfixable. the support people cant fix it after dozens of hours. got lots.of emails from them though. asking if i was resolved. when i answered no, they asked me to do it all again. they have no fix for this.
can type documents, but cant email them to anybody. same with excel. no way to attach documents when the bridge doesnt work.
i am a ceo,and i am moving my entire organization off bb becuase of this.
have spent many many hours from the beginning in may, and now they want me to pay a 129 dollar fee to get support when it has not worked right from the beginning.
i bought an ipad today and i am absolutely blown away by how much better it is in every single way. dozens of bbs are going away now.
slow, no.email, locks up all the time, stand by button restarts tablet, no bridging without total reload on both devices. why would i go through this anymore? it is costing my business a fortune with myself and my people trying to make the playbook work.
we will get ipads and make more money.
i have tried to stay loyal to bb, but after being told i have to pay for support
when i did once get a connection through bridge, reply locked up everytime on an email. could not type.

I would like to add my support to this comment.
Strike 1) Bridging a BB 9700 with a PB is flaky at best. Even if you run the very latest software on both, it does not work properly. This is NOT a user issue but a programme/application issue. RIM software running on RIM hardware and O/S and NOT being able to connect properly = RIM fault.(see my other post: My Bridge connects, it exchanges data like passwords, number of unread emails and my playbook notifies me when someone calls my BB, but it does NOT unlock)
Strike 2) All this used to work fine during the 90d grace suport period (apart from the flaky bluetooth issue that required a hard reboot of the BB whenever the connection was broken in a bad way)
Strike 3) Now, after a PB OS upgrade (which I faithfully applied), several phone upgrades (due to another problem) and the latest Bridge application install, it all doesn't work anymore, 100 days after I bought the flipping thing. so I have a fancy ebook reader, not the productivity enhancing tool I can use on the go.
So now I am stuck with a forum that can't help, a technical database that does not contain this support information and a broken RIM application on RIM Hardware and O/S that I paid a lot of money for. And now they want more to look at this incident????? I am sorry but if this was a problem caused by usage, configuration or any other user error, I could understand it. But this is all completely in RIMs ballpark. I have done everything right. It connects. It just DOES NOT WORK!!!!!
As I said in my other post, an evaluation of the PB in my company is ongoing as a possible management tool by people I know quite well, as I work in the area, but my advice would definitely be to stay away until basic functionality like emails, attachments, calendars etcetera are all suitably solved and usable by the average manager with sausage fingers and no clue about bluetooth, hard reboots and who won't be able to hold down the power, + & - buttons at the same time as the fingers won't fit!!
So RIM, get your finger out, open up an email support channel or get some qualified support people go through this forum and help those people who have shown faith in your products and who now have real problems with your software and hardware. DONT HIDE BEHIND A STUPID SUPPORT FEE - MAN UP TO YOUR PROBLEMS!!!

Exectue a function at the beginning
