Help needed with Timer class

Hi there, could any body tell me if this is a bug with AS3
Timer class? Right now I'm developing a player with slow motion
capability using AS3, streaming from FMS3. Basically I used an
instance of Timer class to toggle play/pause at different
intervals. However, after doing some stress test (click slow then
play repeatedly fast), the flash player goes into a state in which
the video streams keeps going at slow motion and cannot be stopped
even with ns.close(). I called Timer.stop() whenever switching out
of slowmo and even removed the event. However as I was tracing it,
at the non-stoppable state, something is still calling the timer
and its handling function while Timer.running and
Timer.hasEventListener both returns false. I'm quite sure there's
nothing else that calls this specific timer handler.
Moreover, just out of curiosity, I changed my code and used
setInterval() method instead and the problem's gone. Would anybody
tell me if there's a bug with the Timer class or a bug in my own
code? I'm reluctant to go with setInterval() for good since Timer
class looks more elegant.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks, kglad! That was exactly my first thought. I made sure
I only used 1 timer object. Also, the strange thing is, the player
USUALLY works fine. It only breaks down after a a stress test I
described before. Any other suggestion on what I should do? Is
there a way to check who's dispatching the timer event?

Help needed with timer codes

i have tried to do a countdown timer but can't debug it.. can anyone help me with it or can anyone provide me with the correct coding for countdown timer..

import java.Swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.Swing.*;
import java.util.*;
public class timer
     public static void main (String [] args)
          double sec = 150;
          countDown(sec);
     private Thread countDown(double seconds)
        final double time = seconds;
        Runnable runnable(){
               public void run(){
              try{
                Thread.sleep(time * 1000);
              }catch(Exception e){}
        return new Thread(runnable);
     public void displayCountDown(){
       int seconds = 22;
       for(int i = 0; i < seconds; i++){
         Thread trd = countDown(i);
         trd.start(){
         while(trd.isAlive()){
           ; // wait
         System.out.print('\r');
         System.out.print(i);
}

I would suggest using javax.swing.Timer or java.util.Timer instead of implementing it yourself.

Help needed with Time Machine multiple drives set up

Hello, I need help in finding out if what I want to do is possible.
I upgraded to Mountain Lion today as I understood it can handle multiple back up drives. I see how to add a 2nd back up drive, however I do not see a way to put different folders onto different drives.
iMac - backed to a 3TB DRIVE A via the time machine
iPhoto Library original file - already on the 3TB DRIVE A - so no back up for now!
What I'd like to do is to also back up only the iPhotoLibrary file to a 2nd drive - lets call it 3TB DRIVE B
Can it be done with Mountain Lion or not really? I don't even seem to be able to exclude files from an External Disk actually.
Any other software I could use that would do the trick?
Or do I have to rearrange our already messy set up? I've put the iPhoto Library on the DRIVE A as its a faster drive. but I guess the solution would be to put the iPhoto Library original file onto the slower Drive B and only keep the iPhoto file on it?
Hmm any help or tips greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Is there a procedure to back-up only changed files since the last version?
Ordinarily, that's exactly what TM does. But this situation isn't ordinary. Everything you restored is considered "*new to that disk"* and will be backed-up again. See #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum, and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338
The 30% you ask about is actually 20%; the initial estimate of the space needed might be low, and TM needs workspace on the TM disk, so it adds 20% (see #7 in the FAQ Tip.)

Help needed with collection classes

Howdie all,
I'm new to Java, and for the most part, I can do it.
I'm stuck on how to do the following:
I have to write a program that simulates a deck of cards, including shuffling (involving cards are re-collected), dealing cards. I have to create 52 objects of the card class. The only things that I can use involve some of the collection classes (arrays, dynamic lists, vectors, dictionaries), queues/stacks
I dont know:
** what to use. should i use a dyn list or a vector
**how the heck would i shuffle the cards?
** for dealing the cards, i figued i would just use a loop to draw a set of cards (face and suit)
i am not asking for code on how to do it (though pseudo-code/alogorithm may help). i just dont know where to start..i am totally stuck.
thanks a bunch!

I would suggest you to use the LinkedList class for the deck representation.
To create the cards you could use
for i = 0 to 51
new Card(i);
In Card constructor do something like
int colour = i/13+1; // (1-4, one for each colour)
int value = i%13+1; // (1-13, ace-king)
To shuffle you could
for i = 0 to 100
j = radom(52)
k = random(52)
swap(card#j, card#k)
This will swap 2 random cards 100 times.
To draw cards
Card c = cards.remove(0)
or
Card c = cards.remove(radom(cards.size()))
In the later, the shuffle part is not really needed.
thought about this some more and now i have another
question:
when using a dyn linked library, i am not even sure
how to create the 52 objects. previously when doing
project like this, i just used a random function to
generate the cards, and used switch statements for the
non-numbered cards and for the suite. how would i do
accomplish this when using a collection class?

Help needed with time capsule

I have a 3tb Time capsule and Mac set up with Virgin Hub
Back ups work fine but most times i try to acces anything on the time capsule it comes up with not available
It works if i restart or boot through airport utilty
I have the data file with a music sub folder and have a 1 drive plugged to usb both of which seem to be a little to illusive
can you help

This is a bug on Lion and 7.6 firmware and greater on the TC..
There is no fix.. Ring applecare and ask why it does that.
I suspect Apple will have no idea. Although we have plenty of posts here with the same issue.
I can suggest a bunch of stuff.. nothing from what I gather is a cure.. but it might help.. perhaps this will be auto fixed in ML.
I stick with SL as it has decent networking btw.. and no issues.. !! If you are still on SL you should not have issues if you go back to 7.5.2 firmware on the TC.
First off, tell us a bit more.
Is the TC part of the network, bridged or router or setup independently of the network. Not sure what the virgin hub is.. but please describe the network a bit more.
Try going back to 7.5.2 firmware. Apparently can be very difficult for the most recent versions of TC but if you run lion you should also try it.. download the 5.6 airport utility if not already using that, and try to go back to earlier firmware.
Other things..
Reset the TC and use short no spaces names for TC and wireless. Pure alphanumeric.. no special characters. Is the TC main router.. ?? set the dhcp server to short lease time. Like 10min.. if the virgin hub is the router do the same in that.
Are you connecting by wireless.. ?? Lock the wireless channels and use different name for 5ghz from 2.4ghz to prevent wireless clients jumping around.
When you lose the TC next time.. open terminal and ping it.. by name and ip address.. tell me what happens.

Help needed with Time Machine

I've installed Boot Camp because I wanted to play an old game. I understood eventually that laptops are not made for that purpose (my one year old MBP was heating too often and I didn't like that). Unfortunately even during that period I've started experiencing some oddness when switching to Snow Leopard 10.6.2. Eventually I've decided to uninstall Windows and after three hours playing with Snow Leopard in order to make it as it was before I understood I'm not qualified enough to mess with plists and I do not know what else, so brut force solution - reinstalling entire system from the Time Machine.
Everything now works very fast, very nice, I've saved time doing that (soooo happy TM saved my life ... again).
So here's my question: After reinstalling system TM started normal back-up procedure and I get message not enough space on external disk. I use 200Gb for around 100Gb that I have on my computer (I know not so much but works well for me). What I do not get is why does TM need around 30% more space compared to the space I'm using (wants to back-up 130Gb) and why is it not backing-up the system I've just installed but tries to back-up everything from scratch? Is there a procedure to back-up only changed files since the last version?
What I'm doing know is just saving old back-up on a second external drive (just in case if something goes wrong) and I'll "clean" my primary TM disk and then install again ... of course if somebody knows how to force TM to back-up only the files that changed ...
Thanks in advance and cheers,
Sharlo

Help needed with "Time Machine could not complete the backup" because it is too large

I'm receiving "Time Machine could not complete the backup" because it is too large for the backup disk. I have a 500 GB Time Capsule 802.11n (2nd Gen) and a MacBook Pro running on 10.6.8. I just replaced my laptop's original hard drive with a new 1 TB and restored that with what was on my Time Capsule. Now, I have no backups on my Time Capsule prior to the new hard drive. When I click get info on my hard drive, it states only 296 GB of the 1 TB is used. However, the Time Machine error message states that the backup requires 315 GB but only 221 GB are available. It has deleted all of my old backups, so I would think my Time Capsule should have plenty of room to backup the 296 GB on my computer. Is my old backup from my prior hard drive stuck on the Time Capsule and instead of Time Machine trying to just update those files, it is preserving the old hard drive backup separately and trying to make a new backup of my new hard drive using the remaining space? If so, how do I fix this? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Help needed with SimpleDateFormat class

I am trying to do this:
try {
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
expirationDate = df.parse(expirationDateStr);
}catch (ParseException e)
The problem I am having is it takes in dates like 15/6/2004 and converts it into 3/6/2005. Doesn't java provide validation for that? Do I need to do the validation myself for months and dates?
Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

Cool Thank you..That worked..

Help needed with runtime class

i m trying to execute some script by calling the exe to execute it through runtime.exec. it works fine when the script that does not use any library, but if it is using any then it will returns null.
Example:
public static void main(String args[])
Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime();
p=r.exec(new String[]{"c:/perl/bin/perl.exe","c:/try.pl"});
BufferedReader d= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
System.out.println(d.readLine());
if try.pl is as following then it prints hello world
print "hello world"
but if it is as following then it prints null
require "cgi-lib.pl"
print "hello world"
so how can i execute scripts with libraries?????????

I don't know Perl but I guess that "require" means the Perl program has to look somewhere else to find another script, or something like that. You know Perl... where does it look? If your answer is that it looks in the current directory, then why haven't you set the current directory?

Help needed with java

Hello everyone
I'm a Student and new to java and I have been given a question which I have to go through. I have come across a problem with one of the questions and am stuck, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out.
here is my code so far:
A Class that maintains Information about a book
This might form part of a larger application such
as a library system, for example.
@author (your name)
*@version (a version number or a date)*
public class Book
// instance variables or fields
private String author;
private String title;
Set the author and title when the book object is constructed
public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle)
author = bookAuthor;
title = bookTitle;
Return The name of the author.
public String getAuthor()
return author;
Return The name of the title.
public String getTitle()
return title;
and below are the questions that I need to complete. they just want me to add codes to my current one, but the problem is I don't know where to put them and how I should word them, if that makes sense.
Add a further instance variable/field pages to the Book class to store the number of pages in the book.
This should be of type int and should be set to 0 in the Constructor.
Add a second Constructor with signature
public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle, int noPages) so it has a third parameter passed to it as well as the author and title;
this parameter is used - obviously?? - to initialise the number of pages.
Note: This is easiest done by making a copy of the existing Constructor and adding the parameter.
Add a getPages() accessor method that returns the number of pages in the book.
Add a method printDetails() to your Book class. This should print out the Author title and number of pages to the Terminal Window. It is your choice as to how the data is formatted, perhaps all on one line, perhaps on three, and with or without explanatory text. For instance you could print out in the format:
Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:226
Add a further instance variable/field refNumber() to your Book class. This stores the Library's reference number. It should be of type String and be initialised to the empty String "" in the constructor, as its initial value is not passed in as a parameter. Instead a public mutator method with the signature:
public void setRefNumber(String ref) should be created. The body of this method should assign the value of the method parameter ref to the refNumber.
Add a corresponding getRefNumber() accessor method to your class so you can check that the mutator works correctly
Modify your printDetails() method to include printing the reference number of the book.
However the method should print the reference number only if it has been set - that is the refNumber has a non-zero length.
If it has not been set, print "ZZZ" instead.
Hint Use a conditional statement whose test calls the length() method of the refNumber String and gives a result like:
Title: Jane Eyre, Author: Charlotte Bronte, Pages:226, RefNo: CB479 or, if the reference number is not set:
Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:347, RefNo: ZZZ
Modify your setRefNumber() method so that it sets the refNumber field only if the parameter is a string of at least three characters. If it is less than three, then print an error message (which must contain the word error) and leave the field unchanged
Add a further integer variable/field borrowed to the Book class, to keep a count of the number of times a book has been borrowed. It should (obviously??) be set to 0 in the constructor.
Add a mutator method borrow() to the class. This should increment (add 1 to) the value of borrowed each time it is called.
Include an accessor method getBorrowed() that returns the value of borrowed
Modify Print Details so that it includes the value of the borrowed field along with some explanatory text

Help needed with itunes

help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

(Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

Help needed with BBDM 5.0.1 IP Modem

Hi I was happily connecting thru the Net via the IP Modem in BBDM ver 5.0.1 all this while. Only this happened yesterday. Accidentally during the connection, my 9500 was disconnected from the USB cable. From that moment on, I cannot access the Net using the IP Modem feature. Tried to reboot the laptop as well as the 9500 but now all I get is the connecting message and then a pop up saying there is a hardware failure in the connecting device (or modem) ie the BB 9500.
I even uninstalled BBDM 5.0.1 and reinstalled ver 5.0 and also updated back to 5.0.1 - same story. I can still access the Net via the BB browser etc
Advise please thanks in advance

Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

"Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
-The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
-When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
How do I make 5. render properly on vista

We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue. All is now mostly well.
Peace...
