Exporting an swf as an animated .gif the correct way?

I have read all kinds of posts on this, most are old from back in the early 00's. I have some flash banners that I made that need .gif back ups and I find myself pretty screwed if I can't do this. I tried exporting an .swf thru the publishing settings in Flash and no matter which setting I choose the gifs are pixelated and very bad quality. I just finished reading a post where it said to use the file - export from the menu which I did use and the quality is much better but nothing near acceptable for the client. I also read to export the swf to Quicktime and QT can convert to animated gif so while I look at that option is there someone that can point me in the right direction as this could spell trouble for me if I cannot come up with a solution as I have multiple swfs that need to go through Google analyctics and need the gif back ups.
thx
rder

After spending hours losing my hair finding an answer, I found that there is no answer. reality is that Flash (at least CS3) has an export to gif feature but this is a waste as the gifs are horrible quality. Publishing as is no better so that closes the door doing it that way, so on and on I went searching and saw a post that Quicktime can do this, so I publish as a QT file and then export QT file (in QT) as an image sequence. It worked but it delivers each frame so the longer file you have the more frames. Useless to me, so in 2009 as far as I see there is NO WAY you can convert an swf to an animated .gif if you are on a Mac. Go ahead and search for OS X swf to .gif and you will see tons of misleading adds and then when you open each you see they are all .exe files and you know what that means!
So, thank god I have a pc as well and found about 100 apps all kinds from freeware to sharewrae that will convert swfs to animated gifs (IF YOU HAVE A PC)

What is the correct way to format file paths and names in the structapp file?

I am trying to create a structured application to export fm files as xml, and probably read the xml back to fm.
In the structured application file (structapp), I need to specify the locations of the various files (DTD, read/write, template, etc). I would like to place these files on a shared server so others can use the same structapp file (that is, a cop of it). What is the correct way to format the file paths and names? Can folders folder names and file names have spaces in them? I tried the following, for example:
\\serverName\shareName\folder 1\folder 2\file name.dtd
I use the same format for the template file and the read/write rules file.
When I try to save an fm file to xml, FrameMaker says that it cannot read the DTD; however, the resulting xml file appears to be well-formed. The DOCTYPE element in the resulting xml is formatted with forward slashes and spaces replaced with %20.
I tried using forward slashes and replacing spaces with %20, but then I get an error about reading the read/write rules.
NOTE: I have another structured application to read xml into fm. This application does not have a DTD file. The template and read/write rules files are specified as above. Except for complaining about a lack of a DTD, the application works fine; it even applies an XSLT in the process. Again, when I DO add a DTD to this latter application, I get the same complaint about not being able to read the DTD.
I am using fully patched FrameMaker 9 in Windows XP.
Thanks,
Van

Hi Van,
The XML parser and FrameMaker are not the same thing. The Error Log says which component created which message. The XSL processor is another option that can throw messages. The "\\server\path\some.dtd" syntax in structapps.fm seems to be fine for some tools, as Internet Explorer with XML tools successfully finds the DTD which appears as "//server/path/some.dtd" in the XML. But apparently Xerxes, the XML parser bundled with FrameMaker, does not like this notation.
If you have a path with a drive letter, "H:\path\some.dtd", FrameMaker turns that into "file:///H:/path/some.dtd". It seems, Xerces would like to see "file:/" in front of absolute paths.
This is what I have in structapps.fm:
Template: \\server\path\projecttemplate.fm
DTD: some.dtd
Read/write rules: \\server\path\projectrules.txt
DOCTYPE: …
Entity locations
Entity search paths
1: \\server\path\
In the structapps.fm I have the DTD without path information. The resulting XML (without XSL postprocessing) then contains just the file name with a relative path back to the book folder (when saving a book as XML). It therefore requires the DTD to be available at this place. I handle this using an event script that fires for NotePreSaveXml and copies the DTD to the folder of the original document.
As I always use XSL postprocessing and using XSLT1 it is not possible to have the doctype-system as a parameter I have this in my XSL stylesheet:
<xsl:output doctype-system="some.dtd" />
For the resulting XML the DTD is expected to be in the same folder as the XML file. This is handled by the same event script as above, it therefore copies the DTD to the source and the target folder.
Bottom line: If you want/have to use UNC paths, you have to do some programming to work around a FrameMaker bug.

The correct way to upgrade a SAP

We are trying to upgrade an old system with :
SAP 4.6C
Oracle 9.2.0.4
HP-UX 11.23
to a new (test) system with
HP-UX 11.23
Oracle 10.2.0.2.
SAP ECC 6.0
The correct way seems to be performing an homogeneous system copy from old to new.
Now, the question is .....
Is it possible to perform an homogeneous system copy with different versions of Oracle ?
Is it necessary the Oracle versions are the same ?
Or .... There it exist a procedure to perform an homogeneous system copy to a higher version ?.
Performing directly the HSC from 9.2 to 10.2.will save us a lot of time.
Thank you.
Albe

Hi Abert,
The scenario what you want may be possible. Let me brief you about how it can be done if your source system is R/3 4.7.
The steps would be :
Export the OLD system in 4.7 Oracle 9.20 using SAPINST tool (Export database)
Install SAP 4.7 Using Export dvd created in first step (NO Backup - Restore)
install oracle the 10.2 instead of the 9.2
(At the end of this steps you will have your system with Oracle 10.2 database)
PREPARE
SAPup
So, in short you need to do system copy using SAPINST tool if you want to avoid Oracle upgrade steps.
Now, you need to find out whether you can use R3SETUP for doing system copy. If yes, you can go ahead with above steps.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Nirav.

What is the correct way to set up a new Mac

A friend of mine recently migrated from Windows and bought himself an iMac. He got the local Apple store to set up his iMac and migrate his data from his Windows to his iMac. I was recently helping him set up a few a additional things on his iMac and was supprised to see how the Apple store had set up the machine.
There was only one account set up on the iMac and all of the user data had been loaded into this admin account. Now I've only been a Mac user for about 5 years, but I was always taught create an admin account with no data on it and then set up a separate user account(s) which contain all the user data and these are used by the users to log in.
Now my question is who is right the Apple shop or me? I would e intertested to hear any experts views on the correct way to set up an OSX machine.

Both of you. Either way is acceptable. However, for a single user machine there's really no need to have more than the admin account.

I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.

I have a macbook air late 2010 and keep getting a warning that my hard drive is full and to delete things so I purchased a external hard drive (1TB) but I'm just not sure what the correct way to transfer and store files to the external drive is. First MAC

I purchased a macbook air about 5 months ago and lately i keep recieving a warning that the hard drive or disk is full and that I will need to move items to trash in order to free up space on it. I purchased a external hard drive 1 TB but I'm very new to mac and ios and unsure as to how I'm suppose to transfer my files (video, pics, music etc.) from my mac over to the external hard drive in the correct way so I won't end up deleting them permenately or screwing anything up with my mac as far as the applications and programs being able to run. Am I supposed to just copy to the external hard drive and then move to and empty the trash? That's pretty much all I could come up with, but then what if i need or want to access that file again at a later time. Also, I have an i Phone and i pad so with i cloud it automatically syncs all my purcheses and if i delete something from itunes on my mac it deletes from my ipad.
I'd appreciate any kind of input i think im just a little lost here. I have to say i love my Mac and wouldn't trade it for anything (except maybe a macbook pro w/more memory)... Is there something I'm missing???

To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

What is the correct way to add styling to drag-and-drop created calendars?

I have a working instance of a rich client calendar. I generated the view with the required fields (start, stop, provider, ...), put it into the App Module, and dragged it onto a JSF page to create a calendar.
Next I created an activityScope object in a class called CalendarBean (no inheritance)
Class CalendarBean()
private HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles> activityColorMap;
+..+
+public CalendarBean() {+
super();
activityColorMap = new HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles>();
HashSet setEd = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setLen = new HashSet<String>();
setEd.add("Work");
setLen.add("Home");
activityColorMap.put(setEd, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.ORANGE));
activityColorMap.put(setLen, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.RED));
+}+
+}+
Next, I linked this up as a backing bean and associated the ActivityStyles of CalendarBean to it:
+#{backingBeanScope.calendarBean.activityColorMap}+
I populated some records in the database with properties "Work" and "Ed', but they show default blue.
As I understand it, I need to do something with the getTags() method of the underlying CalendarActivity class, but I'm not quite sure how to do that.
Took a stab at creating a class, CalendarActivityBean, that extended CalendarActivity, and pointed all the CalendarActivity references I had to the new class, but it didn't seem to fire (in debug), and I got into trouble, when inserting records, with
public void calendarActivityListener(CalendarActivityEvent calendarActivityEvent) {
currActivity = (CalendarActivityBean) calendarActivityEvent.getCalendarActivity();
being an illegal cast
What is the correct way to add provider-based styling to drag-and-drop create calendars?
Ed Schechter

A colleague of mine was kind enough to solve this:
The calendar has ActivityStyles property = #{calendarBean.activityStyles}
CalendarBean looks something like this:
package com.hub.appointmentscheduler.ui.schedule;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.util.CalendarActivityRamp;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.util.InstanceStyles;
+public class CalendarBean {+
private HashMap activityStyles;
private String dummy;
+public CalendarBean() {+
+// Define colors+
activityStyles = new HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles>();
HashSet setPending = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setArrived = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setApproved = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setCompleted = new HashSet<String>();
setApproved.add("APPROVED");
setPending.add("PENDING");
setArrived.add("ARRIVED");
setCompleted.add("COMPLETED");
activityStyles.put(setApproved, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.GREEN));
activityStyles.put(setPending, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.ORANGE));
activityStyles.put(setArrived, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.PLUM));
activityStyles.put(setCompleted, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.LAVENDAR));
+}+
+public void setactivityStyles(HashMap activityStyles) {+
this.activityStyles = activityStyles;
+}+
+public HashMap getactivityStyles() {+
return activityStyles;
+}+
+}+
Now, go into the Bindings tab on the calendar page, double click the calendar binding, and specify the column you've defined as the calendar's Provider in the Tags dropdown.
Should show colors.

1.4.2 - What is the correct way to format output in the java.io.PrintStream

With Java 1.4.2:
What is the correct way to format output in the java.io.PrintStream?
The following is incorrect, even though it is still used in the The JavaTM Tutorial at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/
System.out.formatThis returns "cannot resolve the method 'format'"
Any detailed suggestions or information is greatly appreciated.

The following is incorrect, even though it is still
used in the The JavaTM Tutorial at:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/
The whole format thing has been introduced in 1.5. The tutorial also states it's been "updated to 1.5.".
That's all I've got to say for I don't know how you can format a PrintWriter, let alone a PrintStream, prior to 1.5. I'm not really sure there is any way. Any "legacy way", that is. There almost certainly are third-party API which achieve similar results.

OBIEE 11G Calculation the Correct Way

Hi All,
My requirement is like this that I want to calculate value Gross Profit which is simple Total Revenue - Total Expense. Now I want this to act as a Hierarchy i.e Gross Profit should be drill able to Total Revenue followed by Total Expenses. For this I created a Accounts Dimension table since no Drill Down facility is available on Fact Table(Therefore I had to move my Accounts to Dimension table rather than Fact Table). Now the problem is that there is no minus based aggregation present in OBIEE BMM layer because of which my all other sum based aggregation work correctly except where there is a negative based aggregation required like in the case of Gross Profit. Kindly Suggest what is the correct way to approach this problem. I am working on OBIEE 11g in this case.
Warm Regards
Abhishek Kapoor

Financial reporting is difficult in BI because of the user preference of how to see signs on different accounts and requirements for adding/subtracting depending on the type of account.
A few ways to approach:
a. Use case statement to make total rev and total expense columns. Subtract to build a gross profit column. You can do this in the presentation services front end or the BMM.
b. If you have opposite natural signs for rev and exp, you can create an account hierarchy in the account table which will net out to gross profit. Ex:
Column 1 – account number
Column 2 – hierarchy level 1, ex Gross Profit
Column 3 – hierarchy level 2, ex Rev or exp
Column 4 – account name
Etc…
c. Remember you can always build your own drilldown using navigation links to a report instead of the built-in drilldown.
Good luck!

no that's wrong. this is TM exclusion list. you add items there that you DO NOT want to be backed up. so currently your whole hard drive is excluded. remove it from there if you want it to be backed up. the only thing that should be present on that list by default is the TM backup drive itself.

Is there one tell me the correct way to access remote SQL server

Hi
I have tried to access a remote SQL server by many ways but all failed
here is my trying :
String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://217.52.98.102:1433";
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"sa"," " );
String selectStr = "select * from FleetWatch..table_name";
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(selectStr);
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());
// connect to the DB by using the driver.
String connString = "217.52.98.102:1433;databasename=FleetWatch";
String strDBConnect = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://" + connString;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(strDBConnect, "sa", "");
String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
Class driverClass = Class.forName(driver, true, jdbcLoader);
Driver currDriver = (Driver)driverClass.newInstance();
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty("sa", (String)paras.get("sa");
prop.setProperty("password", (String)paras.get(" ");
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://217.52.98.102:1433";
conn = currDriver.connect((String)paras.get(url, prop);
pls tell if you know the correct way to access a remote sql server and
access it befor tell me its step to ensure it's connect

String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://your servername:1433";
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"username ","password " );
this user name and password may be diff becoz if u have only sql authentication then u have to know that user name or it can have windows nt authentication so if it is so then no probs can use ur windows nt login..
know the server name where ur sqlserver is connected to.
set the classpath for the sqlserverdrivers jar files which u have downloaded where ur working on.
then it works
i did the same and worked for me.
try it.

What is the correct way to upgrade 5.0.4 to 5.1 Universal?

I just received Final Cut Studio Universal, and I have Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 installed what is the correct way to upgrade all the Final Cut Studio applications? Do install over or delete each application and then reinstall?
As always thanks in advance for reading and replying to my Post,
Sebastian

WHEN I do it, I'm going to archive what's necessary and desirable to keep, erase my hard drive, reinstall Tiger, do the upgrades, then install 5.1 clean and do the upgrades.
Might sound like overkill, but I really love a clean, fast machine and nothing does it better!

What's the correct way to handle changes in RDBMS/DBadapter?

In my project all changes to the database are not done via Jdeveloper but via TOAD. This means DBadapters must be made aware of changes in the database.
I tried to re-run the DBad.apter wizard twice (2 different services) - to make it aware of changes in the DB. Both times it failed. I think was after the import database tab. The next tab was just blank.
So what's the correct way of reconile changes in the db backwards into Jdev?
BTW, in the DBadapter wiz its not possible the remove a already imported table. How do I come across the situation where I want the DBadapter to point to af different table? - and possibly remove old references to another one - which might have been removed in the DB.
As It is now - I have to re-work all my DBadapters, which is not very much fun...
Rgds, Henrik

Trust me, I hv done that umpteen nbr of times.
I hate BA's coming to me with changes, for which I hv to modify the DB adapter.
One big loop-hole with BPEL is if we try to modify the adapters/toplink, it doesnt tend to work properly.
The manthra for such modifications is ... "recreate", which is definetely not a good practise.
You may not like but gottu live with it, my friend.
Pointing to a different table, I achieve it by doing a "Shift+Delete" to all the references of the old table in the BPEL project ... :|
There isnt a specific provision in the wzd (I am not sure of the latest version, though).

Which is the correct way to program a Desktop Application???

Hello all,
I haven't programmed in a while and I just got the free Netbeans 6.1 CD just for kicks and to try it out. I'm making a basic application for a store that one of my family members has. I was programming away as I could and right now I came to a conclusion... I think I maybe doing this wrong.
I have done all the GUI using the Netbeans IDE plugin visual designer and I just click on the button and add the event and then I program away. But just right now I noticed another file that is called NameOfProgramApp.java. Then I look to the right and I have NameOfProgramView.java where I have been placing most of my code. Is this the right place to put the code???
I think I maybe missing something or maybe doing some lousy code writing. Any help would be awsome. Is this where I put my Object Oriented think hat on to accomplish the correct way??
Thanks in advance and it feels good to be back :D

A general rule of thumb that I use it to think in layers...
--GUI {What you show the use}
--GUI code logic {local rules and edits}
--WEB/Network {interface for multiuser}
--BUSINESS RULES {rules and coding to make your business work}
--DATABASE {where do you store your durable data}
Granted, this is a very simplistic look, but it will get you a start a thinking process for your app.

Ok, does anyone know the correct way to do this

Hi all
would someone beable to explain the correct way of attaching dynamic text to a rotaing menu so that the text moves with the image as it rotates,
I am now being told that in order to have dynamic text rotate/move I have to embed the font, by placing a text field on the stage outside my flash area and then set embedFonts property to true, and then apply a textformat.
first, is this the correct way of doing it?
second, can someone please explain(by breaking down into steps, as I am a newbie) how I go about setting embedFonts property to true and applying a textformat.
what I have created;
1.)I created a movieclip called 'textHolder' inside this has two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' & 'bodyText' <<<<< IS THIS CORRECT?
2.)I have an xml file which will load the text in as well as the images with the rotating menu, see below; <<<IS THIS CORRECT????
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data>
<image name="image 1" path="img/img1.jpg"
    textHolder.headerText="Sunset"
    textHolder.bodyText="The hour of night is near, as the skies get blood-filled" />
<data>
3.What I am missing is what script I need for the main.as file, can anyone help here?
so to break down.
I have a rotating menu that is driven by xml, that loads images on the menu. I would also like to load text to the left of each image, and have the text be fixed with the image as it rotates.
I can post the as, but I would like to know if the above is correct first, if you would like to see the main script please say.
I have attached a jpg layout to give you an idea as to what I am trying to explain. can someone please help!!!!!!!!!
