Feedback on several containerController

Hi,
If you use several dynamic ContainerContainer, the last container must NOT be empty. Otherwise you can get some #1009 error on text selection... in any case, it's my case.
In my app, if the text in the TextFlow is not present in all containerController, it is impossible to select text. In the method scrollTimerHandler(event: Event) (on ContainerController), findFirstAndLastVisibleLine () return an array of null object, and an #1009 error is throws (lastVisibleLine is null).
Now I test the existence of the text in all containerController, and it works fine. But It seems to me that is a little annoying if we not being able to create empty ContainerContainer...
It's an unusual case of use ? The last ContainerController must not be empty? Perhaps, I use a bad way for the creation of containerControllers (even if it seems to me that this is not very complicated). anyone else with this type of problem?
regards
Fabien

I use the last version of TLF ( I checkout the Flex4 Sdk on Svn ). My version is actually 483 (712413).
I have build a basic app : see the zip project attached for the exemple of my problem.
( or the online 'viewsource' url : http://www.lafabrick.com/labz/tlfTest/srcview/index.html )
During the creation of my example, I find something strange .... If you uncomment the line 153 of Class TlfComponent, there is apparently any more problem ...

Scrolling of several ContainerController

Hi,
I have a TextFlow with several containerControllers. Is it possible to scroll several linked containers? It appears that the text placed in each containers can't "move" a controller to another ... Solutions exist, or I need to implement a custom scrolling?
Regards
fabien

I think you want to scroll your text through several linked containers. That's an interesting use case but TLF doesn't support that natively.
With scrolling enabled TLF supports two cases of scrolling in horizontal text.
1) vertical scrolling in the last only by setting vertical scrollpostion. That doesn't push text into the previous container
2) horizontal scrolling in all containers when text stretches out beyond. Generally this only happens when the textFlow's lineBreak property is set to "explicit".
You'll need to do some type of custom scrolling to move text through the chain of containers.

First visit to the Feedback Forum and 10% of the threads were already read?

I don't think so!!! I didn't read a single one and opened up 5 pages in pages to find that at least 10% didn't have new content at all, which means that I looked at them. Considering I haven't looked at Feedback for several weeks, I find that a MAJOR bug!

Krista,

Why don't gif animations work in Mail 3.4?

I posted this earlier today on what I thought was the 10.5 Leopard section and as it turned out, it somehow posted in the Panther OS section. Doh! I'm sorry if you saw the other post and this is the second time you have read this today.
I have read through the Mail discussions since the release of Leopard trying to figure out why gif animations do not work in Leopard Mail but they do work in Tiger Mail. I have read several explanations by several different people giving various reasons why they do not work. I have little faith in the answers I've seen to date as to why they do not work in Leopard Mail, as every now and then I get an email with an embedded gif +that does animate+ in Leopard Mail.
If I download from Leopard Mail an animated gif file to my desktop that does not animate in Mail and then open that gif in TextEdit, it animates just fine.
If I take some of the gif files that do not animate in Leopard Mail and publish to an iWeb page, they animate just fine when I visit the published page.
If I open the same email that will not animate in Mail 3.4 in my .mac/.me account using Safari, the animations animate fine in the webmail.
This one really gets me. If I forward an email that contains embedded gif files that are known to animate and that do not animate in Leopard Mail to my iPhone, +they animate just fine in iPhone Mail+. *Go figure!* Why should/would they animate in my little old iPhone 3G Mail but not my full sized Mac PowerBook, using the powerful mail application, Mail?
According to some people who have posted responses as to why Leopard Mail does not support animations, Apple does not read the Discussion posts! I have made more than one trip to the Apple Genius Bar and asked why Apple does not read the Discussions and each time the answer has been, "Apple does read the Discussions. Apple employees do not reply to them." I really do think Apple reads these posts somewhere along the line and that software changes do occur because of some of the posts.
Apple: If you are reading this, what gives with Leopard Mail and gif animations? Why the step back from gif animation in Tiger Mail to hit and miss (mostly miss) animation in Leopard Mail? Why not post an Article explaining why animations should not work/do not work in Leopard Mail?

I have used OS X Feedback on several occasions and have never heard back from Apple regarding any of my queries nor have I seen any software changes come about because of any of my queries.
Apple doesn't respond to Feedback; they get way too many to have any time for that, but their engineering staff do keep track of what comes in and evaluates suggested changes all the time. I've made a good number of suggestions and I do get replies, but that's only because I have the email addresses for those who make the decisions, and I can't give those out.
Just because you haven't seen changes doesn't mean they didn't consider your suggestions or that they aren't planning on incorporating a feature that you and others have suggested in the future. After all, the next version of OS X, Snow Leopard, isn't due until next year, and they're working on things for beyond that even now. Nothing has been finalized, so everything is open to more change after Snow Leopard.

How to find cause of db performance problem??

Hi,
I am facing continuous performance issues with our database and for that I want to know how I can get information about the following points:
1- How to find most accessed table(s) or tables with highest hits or top queries is accessing which table(s)?
2- What indication can tell that a particular table need to be rebuilt?
3- When to rebuild indexes? and how to know that an indexed need to be rebuilt?
Your prompt reply is highly appreciated
Thanks,
Younis

Hi,
a good starting point for investigating poor database performance is AWR (if you have a license for that) or statspack (if you don't). If you need help interpreting it, you can refer to J. Lewis's series on statspack reports (also applies to AWR):
http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/statspack-reports/
I have also made a few blog posts on this topic, see http://savvinov.com/tag/awr/
Regarding your other questions -- countrary to popular belief, rebuilding indexes or tables is seldom helpful. More often, performance problems are caused by bad execution plans (side effects of bind peaking, inaccurate statistics, correlated predicates etc.), data design issues, bad coding practices, not using bind variables etc.
Database performance topic is a huge topic and obviously cannot fit into a discussion thread. Christian Antognini's book "Oracle Performance Troubleshooting" can provide you a gentle introduction into performance tuning, provided you already have good familiarity with Oracle architecture.
Or, if you want help with your particular problem, post your AWR report here and briefly describe what your users are unhappy about -- there is a good chance that you get valuable feedback from several renowned experts.
Good luck!
Best regards,
Nikolay

OT: The Dreamweaver team's blog post about the Dreamweaver modernization effort

Hi all,
The Dreamweaver team has shared its thoughts on the rationale behind changes in Dreamweaver CC in its blog post http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/06/a-look-at-the-modernized-dreamweaver-cc.html. The blog post also touches upon what's ahead while providing alternatives to some of the older features that did not make it to Dreamweaver CC.
The team has taken into account feedback from several quarters before formulating a reply. I thank all of you on this forum who have provided us with inputs and constructive feedback to help us respond to your concerns.
I would like to particularly call attention to this sentence from the blog post:
We have just begun the modernization process and invite you to voice your opinion. We are committed to taking action on customer feedback and remaining as transparent as possible about our future plans.
In this context, it is worth noting that the Creative Cloud provides us with the flexibility to quickly try and address issues and areas that fall within the purview of our shared vision for Dreamweaver.
Thanks,
Preran

Namaste Preranji,
That URL that you posted is broken it should not be "dr eamweaver" but "dreamweaver" I hope that is not a bad omen. (-;

Adding an image to the Static Button Widget

Hi all
I managed to convince my client to let me do my own navigation instead of using the by default navigation bar and its limitations. I finally will be able to do branching and customised feedback on several slides! Great. BUT. There is a but. I need to make the new buttons look like the current ones: Pause/Play, previous, next, TOC and Exit.
I was happy to discover that I could use a static button widget on my master to deal with my previous and next buttons for all my standard slides. But when I try to add an image of my button the way I want it to look, it looks like that:
If I resize the button the picture remains at the same size:
I don't get the Image feature here at all and I wonder if it's possible to customise the button with our own pictures...
Any success anybody?

Alright thanks for your suggestions. Yes I am publishing to a slightly different location and I pasted the picture at the root of the published folder. The pic is found but it appears tiny:
It should replace the button by default but it is added to the button actually, by its side.
Cheers
Helene

IOS 7 App Store review dates missing

I notice since updating to IOS 7 that the dates for reviews are no longer appearing in the App Store app. They still appear in the reviews in the iTunes Store app.
Is this supposed to be gone with the update? If so, it's a step backwards... funny how I've relied on something as simple as the date of someone's review when deciding whether to purchase an app or not.

I wrote this to itunes feedback after several mails written to apple. I got several mails back but they sounded more like a computer generated feedback. There is not ios app store thread in here so only ipad users read this post...very clever i think to not let customers unite.
"The review dates are missing in ios app store. It makes it much more difficult to find quality apps.
Harder to make out the fake reviews from honest ones, harder to see which update there is talk about etc.
With 95% of apps that are simply garbage and no 15 minute regret option like on google playstore you are making it very difficult to see through that garbage. (which i actually think is illegal in my country) i would like to know also why they are not there anymore? Also i can not choose ios 7 below in the option which ios im running..this makes me belive feedback is not a high priority in the apple money machine. And why is there no ios app store thread in apple forum? There is a mac app store forum thread.

ATT: Apple - Adding "copy/cut & paste" soon??

Attention Apple:
Any plans on ADDING the "copy/cut & paste" feature into the iPod soon??
It's getting ridiculous that it's been so long and after many reviews from various tech magazines and other reviews that the "copy/cut & paste" feature is still NOT available!
Yeah, yeah, Apple users probably do NOT make any mistakes typing but PC users actually Do! That's still also a problem with Mac computers in that it does NOT offer an easier way of using the "copy/cut & paste" feature since the Mac computers doesn't offer a dual button mouse, but must use the keyboard shortcut instead!
It makes life simpler when texting!!
Thank you!

I've been using a 5 button Microsoft mouse on every iMac I've owned (going back to a 1999 iMac G3 with OS 9) - I hate the shape of Apple mice and Microsoft ones work without any drivers needed on OS X.
Apple has been selling 4 button mice (left, right, squeeze, and scroll ball click) for years and they've been standard in the box for quite some number of years too.
Cutting and pasting is easier on a Mac because Expose allows much more rapid shifting between windows and dialogues than Windows does (I endure WinXP for around 7 hours everyday at work).
I absolutely agree that Cut and Paste needs to be added to +iPhone/iPod touch+ and I have left feedback on several occasions accordingly:

Current progress in fixing 10.4.6 failed install

I'm now making some progress in understanding the failiure, however it's leaving me with some BIG questions as to the checks apple put in.
This still hasn't fully worked for me! This is also an abbreviated account, please don't try unless your familiar with a shell prompt! Once I know what's going on better, I'll expand.
I've so far done the following (appologies for any typos, I7m typing on a tiny pda keyboard).
booted from dvd
opened a terminal.
noted chroot /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/ /bin/bash seg faults
created a dir fakesys at the root of the hd
copied /var /bin /sbin and /usr from the dvd dir into fakesys
made a tmp dir there
copied the pkg dir for the upgrade which had been moved out of trash just before I rebooted to the fakesys dir as well as stuff like gunzip from /usr/bin on the hd.
chrooted to fakesys running bash
gunziped the Archive.pax.gz
made a subdir, and from it pax -r -f ../Archives.pax
backed up the /usr/lib from the hd (using tar cf - * | tar xf - - C <dest> to preserve links perms etc ... no man pages so couldn't look up the cp switches to do that! . Backed up kernel too
did the same tar trick to install all updates from root
noted a few files were a lot smaller, such as libMath something, libobjc and the kernel...
tried chroot, diffferent error, about math lib. put in old,and chroot worked!
rebooted... no joy... back to dvd, replace old kernel
rebooted... (watching in verbose mode)... system got some way, than auto rebooted as per upgrade! (excitment rose!)
as comming up again, lots of errors about libobjc.. booted from cd and replaced.
tried again in verbose mode.
looked good but then Firewall.app failed. after that I got lots of memberd couldn't find root users. Now on further reboots it panics with the kernel straight away.
I'll keep on digging, and will update this thread as I discover more. I think the problem maybe the library files i had to roll back, as the dmesg command still seg faults in the chrooted environment

Where did you obtain this? If the install failed,
isn't it possible or even likely that the file was
damaged at that point & the truncation is a result of
that? I'm no expert, but the man page for pax says
something about it only partially extracting files if
one is terminated by errors. Additionally, there is a
cryptic man entry under "bugs" about pax not
recognizing multibyte characters, which may be a part
of it.
Also, in another thread, you mention terminal was
open at the time of the install. Were you doing
anything that could have caused the install to fail?
Terminal was open (I normally have it open for ssh/scp to other machines), but wasn't running anything except bash.
As I said, I obtained the file via Software Update, left it downloading to install then went to work. When I returned I had a message the install had failed, and the pkg was in the recycle bin. The machine would not run anything from this point, and even shutdown failed. Is it likely that a failed install would truncate the file? I really can't see why. Why would you write to an archive file in an install situation? Anyway, as I said, I can't say much on pax archives, but the archive was compressed. If you have a hard time understanding my confusion, try the following experiment. take a copy of one of your files, then do the following with a reasonable large file (split by default splits after 1000 lines):
% gzip <file>
% split <file>.gz
% mv xaa xaa.gz
% gunzip xaa.gz
Split will create several files (slipting your compressed file). You'll see unziping a truncated file produces an error.
Now it is quite possible that the install uses something like gzcat, which only produces errors at the end, such as "gzcat Archive.pax.gz | pax -r" the thing is, running gunzip Archive.pax.gz on the file SU downloaded produced no errors, so that's what confuses me. At any rate, it is best practice to checksum patch archives before running, and apple clearly don't do this, which is incredibly poor. I'm really not sure why there are a large number of people on this forum who find it so hard to believe that apple can do no wrong, and that every fault must be that of the user. Apple are not perfect, far from it. This is beginig to tire me. I found a solution when everyone else seemed to be saying use another mac, or re-install. I looked into what happened, and found the update the su had downloaded to be corrupt. I came up with a fix and shared. I think apple should look into this, and take feedback on several issues I've raised (and I'm sure others who found what I did would comment on too). If you want to insist it's not an apple problem, that's your perogative. I'd be the first to admit that I don't know much about macs (and didn't have much nice to say about them pre-osx), however, I do have a lot of experience with unix, and that's what I'm basing my comments on, and what I used to fix my mac.Anyway, enough ranting I need sleep.

Issue editing a new record in simple ADF form

I have a simple ADF entry form and table that saves to a database table. The database table has columns that cannot have null values.
I can create, edit, delete and save rows in the ADF form without problems.
The problem I have is when I edit a row that I just created and saved. I get an error message that says I cannot save null into the fields that cannot have null values in the database, even though my form shows that my newly created and saved is data there. I seem to have to edit those fields to get the model entity to recognize that there is some value in them.
So the sequence of events leading to the error is this:
I create a new record with ADF form using the 'Create' or 'CreateInsert' operation command button, I enter data into all the fields and hit commit.
I decide I want to make a change to one of the fields, I enter some text, click commit again and an error message pops up saying that I cannot enter null into a required field, but there is data in the field and I did not change anything in it.
The only way I can save without error now is either by running a rollback operation now or making a edit to all the required fields to get the linked entity to not send a null value to the database.
This error will still occur even if I navigate away from the newly created record to other records, if I ever navigate back to that record created in the current session, I will get that error message.
Anyone else experience a similar problem?
Are there any settings or properties I need to set in the entity that can avoid sending null values to the database when a value already exists?
I thought at first it was because I'm using the 'CreateInsert' operation to create a new record as opposed to the 'Create' operation, but the same problem exists with both operations.

I am using jDev version 11.1.2.1.0
In you sample, does your database have columns that require a not null value?
I think my problem lies in the entity or view somewhere, how it's sending null value for fields that don't need to be updated.
Here's the source for my entity and view.

IPhone Volume Buttons: Too Coarse

I have "feedback"ed several times over the years that, under the Music app, the volume up/down buttons provide too coarse volume-control resolution. You get a total of only 16 steps to choose from, and I find that way too few.
Am I the only person who fells that way? If not, I recommend you also feedback that to Apple.
Presumably Apple's counterargument is that you can adjust with very high resolution using the slider control. I would agree with that sentiment, if people were using the app in the same way that they develop it – on a simulator running on a Macintosh, manipulating the control with a mouse. However, that does not work with thumbs on the iPhone itself, for two related reasons: First, the slider is tiny compared to the size of a thumb, so the precision is … muddled … by that. Second, and more importantly, as I remove my thumb from the screen, the slider setting almost always "jumps."
In short, the buttons are the only high-precision way to adjust the volume, and with only 16 steps total, they don't give us any precision to work with.
Also, there's almost no downside to making he buttons more resolute, because hitting a button is trivially easy. Finding the correct button? Effort=2/10. One click? Effort=0.05/10. Three clicks? Effort=0.15/10.

if (there exists a way to make the buttons change the volume more resolutely) {
   how?;
} else if (my description of my concern suggests that I'm using the buttons or Music app in general unideally) {
   tell me more;
// and either way...
if (you agree with my concern) {
   Please also tell Apple (http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html);

Problem Embedding 3d objects in Microsoft office 2007 applications

Dear Experts-
I'm currently using adobe X professional with the 3d pdf converter from Tetra4d to embed 3d cad models into a pdf file. Maybe i am wrong to say this but i notice one missing feature if it is to be compared with Adobe Professional Extended 9.
In Adobe professional extended 9 version, i was able to embed 3d cad/object into a microsoft word 2007 by clicking the "embed 3d" on the Acrobat ribbon. However when I recently upgraded to adobe X pro, i cant find this button on the acrobat ribbon.
Am i having some settings problem or does Adobe Pro X cancelled out the ability to embed 3d object in microsoft office 2007?? Are there any work around methods that enable me to do the same?

Correct, Updates to Acrobat X Pro to support MS 2010 have occured and they do not support embedding 3D Objects. Curently the level of effort required to develop our own 3D plugin for MS products is quite large and has been out prioritized by other enhancements request by our customers.
That said, I have personally tried a free Powerpoint plugin that has successfully allowed a PDF to be embeded as a link into a Powerpoint document. Feedback from several customers is that it is also successful.
The product can be found here -
http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm
Tetra 4D is in no way associated to this product, and any questions should be directed to the developer.

This concerns problems with Vista and the Zen Sleek Photo mp3 player. The Zen software is not compatible and won?t install.
After receiving some information from ?Creative, and after some further experimenting on my own, I have put together a procedure that will, in fact, do a full install of the Zen Sleek Photo on a machine running Vista.
I have also discovered that this installation procedure also works for my Nomad Zen Xtra ? an unexpected bonus!
It worked for me, and I have received feedback from several dozen people already who have used this procedure with 00% success, so I know that it works!? I am currently getting three or four requests daily for this, and most have been kind enough to follow up and let me know that it solved their problem.
I will send this info, in Word document form, to anyone who requests it. Just email me at:

Dave, I tried to send email to [url=mailto:[email protected]">[email protected][/url]?but it's bouncing back. Can you pl post your correct ID? I'd like to get the procedure for Zen Sleek Photo Installation on Vista. Thanks?

Ps CS6 Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object cannot be repeated on another target

Ps CS6
OS X 10.6.8
Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object cannot be repeated on another target.
"Edit > Transform > Again" fails to transform any target after a Transform is applied to a Smart Object. The following message appears:

When ever I have a problem in CS6 and I have many I always test priot releases like cs2 cs3 cs5. I nevet nitice before you posted this problem the Photoshop has different favlors of Free Transform and that free transform for CS6 has been modified. Adobe seems to be introducind new improvement matche with new bugs,
Investgating your bug using CS5 I see the following. There are two types of free transform one type seems to be for smart Object layers and the other for other layer types. In CS5 you should see a difference in the Option bar for Free transform.
The option bar for layers other then smart object looklike this:
Transform 9 anchor point icons X: field Relative icon Y: filed W: % Constrain icon H: % Angle ° H: ° V: °
The Option Bar for Smart Object layers look like this:
Transform 9 anchor point icons X: field Relative icon Y: filed W: % Constrain icon H: % Angle ° Check Box Anti Alias (grayed out)
If I use the one for other then smart object layers Transform Again is not gratey out and I can use Transform Again on layers even smart object layers However the anchor point seems to be relative always to the first transformed layer's anchor point
If I use free transform on the smart Object Layer and not have done any transform on a other then smart object layer in this Photoshop session not even in an other document the smart object layer will be tramsformed and Transform again menu item will be grayed out. If any had done a Transform on an layer other then smart object layer even in an other document Transform Again would not be grayed out and could be used on the smart object layer at hand. The transform would not be the one just done on the smart object layer rather it be the one done to the other then smart object layer. Seems a bit bazzar to me. This may be how CS6 is also working.
CS6 also added interpolation method to the other then Smart object layer transform and not the one for smart object layers. To be consuitant Adobe should have also put interpolation into the omart opject transform for Adobe transforms smart opject layer by first rendering the pixels for the smart opject then transforms them like a raster layer. Adobe did manage to record the interpolation use into an action step. However I do not know if the made it into Scripting it did not make it into the photoshop javascript user guide. I will test the scriptlistener plugin to see if it records it for the action manager....

I have now tested the Scriptlistner Plugin it does record the interpolation for transform normal layers. Still the layer resize method in the Photoshop Javascript user guide has not been change for that support. In the past what I have done is scripting was to save the users default interpolation Photoshop prenerenvr changed the preference to what I wanted to use do the layer transform resize then restored the users interpolation preferance. Adobe broke that in CS6 if the users defalt preference is what Adobe's defalt is "Bicubic Automatic" an internal Photoshop error occurs. Adobe did not add "Bicubic Autoimatic" to scripting when I try to save the preference scriping has the internal error. There is also no way to set the preference back to "Bicubic Automatic. I'm also transform smart object layers so I would still have to use the save preference, change preference, transform, restore preferance method. This works if the users preference is set to some preference other the "Bicubic Automatic"

So to me it look like CS5 and CS6 transform work basiclly the same. There seems to have been some behavior changes made to CS6 I can not seem to put my finger on as well as the addition of the interpolation method in the option bar. I can't put my finger on it so it may be the same in CS5 and CS6.
It may have to do with the bazar behavior of Free Transform and Transform Again not being available on smart object layers if no free transform to a normal layer has been done in this Photoshop session but are available if one was done in any doument. And thet you can start to do a transform on the smart object layer and see the Transform handle but then start using transform Again shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T and watch the old transform being done perhaps rotating some virtual anchor point and not around the acnchor point bing displayed in the Transform bounding box and control points.

Over in the Adobe Feedback site several issues were posted with CS6 Transform one was marked "Not a problem" by Adobe. One was marked "Solved" by Adobe and the others have no Adobe markings the may on not be a problem
So I beleive there is a bug but I do not think it originated in CS6 the bazar things I see happing also seem to be in CS5.

Feedback on several containerController
