Help creating an external array for a scoreboard

I'm trying to create an array in an external file that will recieve and arrange scores sent from Quiz.fla upon clicking the submit score button.  I also want another fla file to be able to reference this external array and pull the top 15 scores from it, and then display those scores on a scrolling banner.  I want the banner to be able to update dynamically (I assume reloading the banner fla each time it reaches the end of its cycle, having the first frame load the external array on an onClipEvent action would accomplish this), that way it will update while remaining open.  The main reason I need two separate files for the quiz and the score banner is they will be displayed on two different monitors.  What would be the most efficient way of accomplishing this?  I know a little about actionscript but I don't have much experience with calling data and functions from external fla or as files (the array and the function designating how the data will be arranged within said array are going to be in a separate .as file).
I'm currently working in AS2, since I've had almost no experience with AS3.

So if I wanted to avoid using a server, I'd basically have to set up the
array storing the high scores in an external .as or .swf file which would
then be called into the quiz game to store the scores, and then called by
the banner each time it hits frame 1 to refresh the numbers?  But then that
would run into the problem of a shared object being used by two different
clients I guess?  Servers setup and accessing confuses the hell out of me
right now, so I'm trying not to make things to hellish for myself...
Would there be a way to create 2 external database files within the folder
holding the .swf files to somehow get around the issue of one sharedobject
being accessed by two clients?

  • How to create an External Alias for a Portal URL ?

    Hi Gurus,
    Can anybody tell me how to create an external alias for a portal link(URL). Actually, my problem is i want to send this Portal URL(link) thru' a SendMail step to the user so that when he clicks on it, it will take him to his UWL(Ofcourse after signing-in). As this URL length is > 80 char(101 char), i am not getting the full lenght URL in my Outlook mail. THough we are on ECC 6.0,Basis Rel 7.0, as per the OSS note 559234, we should have this length extended to 132 bytes. But, for some reason, its not happening. And,in the same OSS note, it was mentioned that we can use external aliases to achieve this(shortening the URL length).
    Can anybody tell me how to achieve this, either thru' increasing the URL length or thru' ext. aliases.
    Please reply asap.
    Thanks in advance

    Not an issue as of now. I'll open up again if needed

  • Can we create single External Table for multiple files?

    HI,
    Can we create External table for multiple files? Could anyone please explain it.
    Thanks and regards

    to merge 16 files having same structureWell, if files have the same structure, as per the reading of the example from the following documentation, you can create one external table for all your files :

  • Help creating struct in c for jni

    Hi. I want to create a c-struct whose values are assigned by getting fields from java using jni.
    For example,
    in java: I have some variables, such as:
    string a;
    byte[] b;
    someClass s; // this is another class who has its own variables
    Now, I am able to get the values for each variable; however, I want to return those values to my functions so I can manipulate them. So, I need to create a c-struct for those vars. I can create a struct that will have a variable for string a as char *s.  Though, I am not sure how to assign or use byte in c so I can assign the value for byte array.  Finally, I wonder how you can include another class's variables in c-struct ( i.e., someClass s)
    Please help on this issue. Thanks in advance.

  • Help creating a boot disk for ailing powerbook (and journalist!)

    Hello, I'm a journalist with a desperate need to recover my Mac.
    My Powerbook G4 (operating 10.4.8 I believe) was working fine until I did the latest suggested Mac software upgrade of Safari. Immediately Safari stopped responding hanging up or quitting. So I tried the next recommended update, thinking perhaps the two went together: Security 2008-009 I believe. It required a restart, which I did. (Note: I didn't do the recommended Java or Quicktime update at the same time because I'm currently working in Sierra Leone with terribly slow internet and figured I'd get to it later).
    Now, however, the computer won't boot up. I hear the tone, I get the gray screen with the apple, I get the blue screen, I get the opening OS X screen and the blue progress bar, which then quits early on. Then I get a blue screen of alternating hues, which continues infinitely.
    I tried all the Apple and web-suggested fixes. I cannot enter safe mode and can only perform functions with the single user mode. I've tried fsck and it said my HD is fine. The problem, I suspect, would be easy enough to fix if I could just reinstall OS X with my CD. However I am currently 7000 miles from home and CD, and in desperate need of my laptop in order to continue my volunteer work.
    I do have access to a friend's MacBook Pro 10.4.9 and the internet. I have downloaded Carbon Copy Cloner... however I don't know which files I need to copy in order to create a boot disk. Nor do I know how to create a boot disk to actually put into my computer. I have also been scared by the CCC literature that says I need to erase the target volume... which in this case is my external hard drive containing all of our video footage from the last 8 months!
    I use my computer every day, however I am a newbie at using things like Terminal and higher order functions that these occasions seem to require. CCC's Help manual, for me, might as well have been written in hieroglyphs (which, come to think of it, would have been easier as I seem to understand pictures well enough).
    I would be eternally grateful for any simple or step-by-step advice which might help me get back to work. I'm training African journalists, and without my computer to edit, we cannot do a thing!
    Thanks,
    Kim

    Here's some trouble shooting methods that I've copied from Apple KB articles:
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time. Release the keys.
    If zapping the PRAM doesn't work, try resetting the PMU.
    Warning: Resetting the power manager also resets date and time settings. Performing a PMU reset returns the iBook and PowerBook hardware, including NVRAM, to default settings and forces the computer to shut down.
    PowerBook G4 (DVI) and PowerBook G4 (1 GHz/867 MHz)
    If the computer is on, turn it off.
    Disengage the two keyboard latches located between the Esc and F1 keys, and the F11 and
    F12 keys. (You may also need to disengage the keyboard locking screw located between the
    F5 and F6 keys.)
    Lift the keyboard. To ensure no harmful static electricity is transferred to the computer,
    properly ground yourself before performing this procedure.
    Press and release the reset button located on the upper right side of the logic board near the power button, shown here. Wait 5 seconds.
    Press the power button to restart the computer.
    PowerBook G4 and PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet)
    If the computer is on, turn it off.
    Press and release the reset button located on the rear panel of the computer between the
    external video and modem ports. Wait 5 seconds.
    Press the Power button to restart the computer.

  • Help creating/updating external links

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie to DW8, previously most familiar with DW4. In
    DW8, I cannot figure out how to create or update external links (to
    websites), such that when I click on that text or image on my site,
    an external webpage will open in the same (or new) window.
    I read in the help section that in the 'edit link' section
    I'm meant to enter the absolute URL. My problem is that it still
    wants me to specify some local file or folder to find that link
    within. This does not make any sense to me! There must be a really
    simple way to right-click on any text on my site and create a
    hyperlink to an external webpage?
    many thanks!

    This is one thing which didn't seem to work properly in
    Dreamweaver MX. There
    may be a better way, but the way I developed (which works
    equally well in
    Dreamweaver 8), is as follows:
    1. Select the name/image you want to attack the link to
    2. Drag the wheel on the 'Link' box (under 'Properties') to a
    convenient file in
    your local directory (it doesn't matter which one you use)
    3. Point your browser at the web page you wish to link to,
    highlight the
    address, and copy it (ctrl_insert)
    4. Find the code for the link you have just inserted. It will
    be something
    like:
    <label for="name"><a
    href="blog_01.php">Name:</a></label>
    5. Highlight the local file name (between the two quotes) in
    the a href, e.g.
    blog_01.php above
    6. Paste in (shift_insert) the external Link, so that the
    code now reads
    something like:
    <label for="name"><a
    href="
    http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/ngvmembers/email/20061024/">Name:</a></label>
    7. In the 'Target' box select '_blank' if you want the
    external page to open in
    a new window (I always do).

  • Creating a cas array for exising prd mailbox servers

    Hi

    Regards

    I just want  to know when we do this change , any client re-configuration is required or automatically redirection will happen to cas arary from outlook client.
    Hi,
    I'm afraid that you need to manual re-configuration from outlook client.
    I recommend you refer to the following article:
    Demystifying the CAS Array Object - Part 2
    5.A CAS array object should not be configured after creating Exchange Server 2010 databases
    The profile will not update itself because the client will not receive an
    ecWrongServer response from CAS. It will not receive this response because any CAS is a valid connection point for any mailbox database via RPC (over TCP) so clients can survive datacenter switchover/failover events without being reconfigured and all
    an admin has to do is flip the CAS array object DNS record to point to a surviving pool of CAS. Currently the only way to fix mailbox profiles would be a manual profile repair within Outlook, by publishing an Office PRF file via GPO (not going to work for
    non-domain joined machines), or by decommissioning the CAS server named in the users’ profiles so the endpoint is no longer available. This last option should (test test test!!) trigger a full profile repair by Autodiscover in Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010.
    Outlook 2003 is only repairable with a profile repair or a PRF file. Autodiscover will not as of this article’s writing update a profile to a new server name as part of the normal Autodiscover process which updates the Outlook Anywhere configuration and discovers
    EWS URLs for other features such as OOF Management, Free/Busy, and Inbox Rules management.
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks.

  • Help creating an animated gif for a navbar!!

    Hey guys, I am very new to fireworks and dreamweave and am having a problem that is making my head spin! I have to create a simple animated .gif for a navigation bar (which will be made in dreamweaver). The navigation bar should function similar to this: http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/functionality.html. Essentially, all that is happening is I create this animated image and in dreamweaver, when I create the AP NavBar, I set the mouseover to that image. My problem is that in comparison to this website's mouseover image  ( http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/images/navi/audience_OVER.gif ) my animated gif has multiple layers and states, where as his only has one layer. I can't seem to figure out how to include both the text, and the gif image, and incorporate them under the same layer.
    A follow up question after having found how to incorporate both into the same state, would I have to lasso out each piece of my animated gif for the individual state I want to have it applied to?
    Any help/pointer to where the information can be found would be greatly appreciated. I've read through the manuals and watched many of Babbage's videos but haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks!

    Your gif doesn't need to have multiple layers, but it does need to have multiple states. To save yourself a lot of confusion, create the animated gifs first, and then export them. Create your navbar in the usual way, with simple rolloveres or swap images. Export the navbar.Rename the animated gifs with the names of the over state of the navbar images, and then delete (or mone to another folder) the over state images of the navbar. Move the renamed gif animations into the image folder of the navbar. Preview in browser. The animated gifs should have replaced the original over state of the buttons.

  • Help creating a site-map for my iweb website

    Hello,
    I was able to list my site with google, no problem. However, following the instructions below to verify didn't work. #1- text edit has no choice for a simple text file. #2 - my mac will not allow me to save any kind of file except html file ending with html. #3 - I've tried using word and no matter what kind of save I attempt to save the google file name, I keep getting the same message, which is -> Verification status: NOT VERIFIED
    We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header.
    And the site map thing is simply over my head. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks ---- Roy
    Here's what I want you to do... your going to register with Google, submit your site for verification, and then make and submit a sitemap for your site. Okay? Here goes...
    Go to this page and login or register for a Google account... http://www.google.com/webmasters/
    This opens up a lot of tools to see how your site is doing. I have already confirmed that Google has none of your pages in its index using the Site Status Wizard.
    Once registered, click on "Webmaster Tools" and then enter your iWeb URL under "Add Site". I want you to type in your iWeb URL like this: http://web.mac.com/jlutz/iWeb/
    Click OK. Congratulations, your site is registered with Google. Now onto verifying that it is your site...
    Click on "Verify" next to your registered URL. You'll be presented with a choice of verification methods. Choose "Upload an HTML file". Google will give you the filename to use, like "googlef429021c837438ca.html" All you have to do is to create a blank file with TextEdit. Save it to your desktop as a plain text file. Then rename it with the filename that Google gave you (yes you want to use the .html extension in case you are asked). Then just copy this file to your iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/ folder. That's it.
    Click Verify...you should get verified immediately. Congratulations.

    The error you are seeing (We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header.) is something I have noticed on and off with my .Mac sites lately too. It used to work fine, but now sometimes .Mac verifies, sometimes it doesn't. Try both verification methods and see if one works over the other. If you are still having trouble, I know Max (

I have downloaded the ziped ISO files from sun.com, I have extracted them (sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-c, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-d, and sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-e) Now what? I burned them to a DVD but its not booting to them (I have checked my boot sequence) I figured I would have to make a bootable DVD but I don't know how. All the instructions I am finding are for doing it in Solaris 9. Can someone please give me instructions on what I need to do now that I have downloaded the files or point me to a site that already has the instructions? Also I have Nero 7 Essentials as my DVD burning software.
    Thanks

    Copy all unzipped pieces into one directory (sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b etc... all 5 pieces)
    take command prompt and goto that directory and run the below command
    copy /b sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-c + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-d + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-e sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso.iso
    It will create sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso.iso file.

  • Need help creating a folder action for creating folders based on filenames.

    I want to create a folder action that will monitor a folder and every time a file is added to the folder it will create a directory using the filename (minus the extension) and move the file the that directory

    on run {input, parameters} -- create folders from file names and move
      set output to {} -- this will be a list of the moved files

    This script almost does what I need except for the fact that it screws up on files with periods in them
    for example
    1.2.3.4.txt
    will create the directorys 1, 2, 3, and 4 instead of 1.2.3.4

  • Help setting up external service for email (MX record)

    I am new to all of this so bear with me....
    I am trying to set up mail using an external service...
    Previously my website and email was hosted by justhost.com... i used muse to develop the website so i recently switched to business catalyst to host and im using domain forwarding to the new site hosted through the business catalyst. (not sure if this plays a role in my issue)
    my email was (as i said) through justhost and i had it set up on my computer with outlook and on my phone. worked fine before...
    when i switched to busines catalyst email went down so now im trying to set it up with the mx record. I have gotten it to work intermittantly but overall no success.
    seems like im missing something simple???
    please help

    Thank You a_chin
    However, my client in frustration for not getting mail on his phone and (I'm sure at this point) thinking that I don't know what the heck I am doing with his website call ipage.com.
    They confirmed to him that the name servers are pointed at worldsecuresystems.com (the Business Catalyst server). My client told me that told him that he had to wait for the MX server to propgate. My client told me that they made no indcation that they did or would make any changes on the ipage.com side of things. Oddly my client started getting emails after about an hour. I check the new muse website I had built and the URL pointed at his old wordpress site. I was confused to say the least. I logged on the the ipage.com admin panel and the name servers where changed back to the ipage defult name servers.
