Help, please! to stop animation of one symbol from anover or stage

I'm not a great specialist in jquery, but I've had to deal with it. And have some expirience... But i can't do an elementary thing in edge animate, i guess. So, help me please!))
I need to stop some child symbols from the timeline of parent symbol(or Stage). On the timeline of stage, i have trigger. At this moment all the child clips have to stop as one...
I try to insert into trigger this code:
(child clips names: 'stan', 'bizan', 'bak')
var stantostop = sym.$("stan");
stantostop.stop();
var bizantostop = sym.$("bizan");
stantostop.stop();
var baktostop = sym.$("bak");
stantostop.stop();
and I'm sure, I'm doing something wrong(!!!), cause nothing changes.
If you cant help, please advice me some source with a lot of examples of typical operations and commands like this! So thank you for reading!

Thank you very much for your answer. I,ve started three topics before i,ve got an answer!)
But I think I have some different problem
It is in the organization of my clips:
Stage->Ship_going->Ship_swinging->stan
Stage->Ship_going->Ship_swinging->bizan
Stage->Ship_going->Ship_swinging->bak
Stan(and overs) are the clips wich are looped, and thats why, I think they can,t stop.
(They are the flags of ship. And the problem is in that fact that when ship stop i want to stop all animation including the loop animation of flags, then I want to deleete all clips, but I cant delete this clips in the same way Icant stop them)
I can show the example of my clip for you(itis rather amusing)))) and i guess you shall understand what i'm talking about)))
Can I send you the zip with clip?

Hi, Strashevsky-
You don't need to refer to the jQuery object if all you want to do is stop the timeline.  You can simply do this:
sym.getSymbol("stan").stop();
OR
var stantostop = sym.getSymbol("stan");
stantostop.stop();
Hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction!

  • HELP Please!  If I deleted one of my accounts can I restore?

    Hi,
    I had set up 2 identities/accounts on my new macbook pro. I decided I would rather just have one combined so I THOUGHT I backed up all my info. Then I deleted the two accounts and did not ask it to save as a deleted account. Are my files associated with each account still hiding somewhere on my hard drive or are they gone forever? If they are still there, how can I get them back?
    Thank you in advance for any advice.

    Hmm, This is more than I know how to deal with. One more question for you before I give up:).
    Do you have TM backups from before you deleted those accounts? If yes, you can recover the data from there. If you don't have a TM backup (and really, you should make one!) then you are in trouble. Still, I know that it's possible to recover data in such situations but I personally don't know how. Search the forums and keep asking for help.
    best of luck.

  • Help please with adf table select one

    Greetings:
    I have a table made from a "data control" an af:tableSelectOne. I put an af:CommandButton on the same page. When I click this button I want to set the current record to the selected row, then I forward to a page where the user is asked to confirm deletion of the selected record. My problem is that no matter what I select the first row is always returned.
    What I tried to do was binding setCurrentRowWithKey to that button, this made no difference in the behavior. The delete page always comes up with the first row selected.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    troy

    Is your button inside the <af:tableSelectOne> area?
    This should work by default if you drag the data-control to create a table with a select option and a submit button. Then you can drag the delete button next to the submit button, or even bind the delete operation to the existing submit button.

    Hi,
    Here's an example of a SQL*Plus script.
    Use any text editor to create a file (let's call it aug_6.sql) that contains all the statements you want to execute in order, like this:
    --      *****  Begin aug_6.sql  *****
    CREATE SEQUENCE rownum_incrementing INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1;
    CREATE SEQUENCE increment_order_num INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1000;
    Insert into orders_main(order_num,order_date,sapak_num,status) values (increment_order_num.nextval, sysdate, '12','new3');
    Insert into orders_details(row_num,order_num,item_num,quantity) values
    (rownum_incrementing.NextVal,
    ( select max(order_num) from orders_main) ,'14','40');
    Insert into delivery_main
    values (increment_del_num.nextval
    ,(select max(order_num) from orders_main)
    , sysdate
    , (select sapak_num from orders_main where order_num = ( select max(order_num) from orders_main)));
    --      *****  End aug_6.sql  *****Note that I made a lot of changes in what you posted, because there seemed to be a lot of mistakes. (See list below.)
    Once you have saved the file, you can run it in SQL*Plus by referring to the full path name of the file:
    SQL> @c:\aaa\bbb\aug_6This is very useful if you have to do the exact same thing more than once (for example, if you are going to create the same sequences and INSERT the same data in your development database, then in your test database, and finally in your production database).
    Here are a few things for you to watch:
    (a) "Query" means "SELECT statement". Use "SQL Statement" if you're talking about any kind of SQL command (including CREATE SEQUENCE and INSERT).
    (b) Every SQL statement must end with a semicolon (;) or slash (/).
    (c) Make sure single-quotes always occur in pairs.
    (d) Make sure parentheses occur in pairs, every "(" followed by a ")".
    (e) Don't use strings to refer to numbers, or vice cersa. For example, if the columns item_num and quantity in the table orders_dtails are NUMBERs, then give them NUMBER values (without quotes) like 14 and 40, not string values like '14' and '40'.
    (f) As part of a larger statement, you can simply use
    SYSDATE
    instead of the scalar sub-query
    (SELECT SYSDATE FROM dual)

  • Help please!  I can't get songs from icloud onto my laptop.

    Hi, I have had a terrible time with my music and iTunes of late. All of which I am sure is because I have installed and unistalled so many times in the last 3 weeks that
    I have created a huge mess. I can see the songs in itunes - (most have been purchased) but when I try to listen to them, put them in a playlist and try to burn a cd- I get a message stating that they are not on my computer. I have been trying to download songs from the icloud to my laptop and I get a message that states:
    The file name was invalid or too long. Please check that connection to the network is active and try again.
    or
    There were problems downloading some purchase items.
    Before this whole nightmare began I had added "google drive" to my computer and I think that alot of the files are stored there. When I open the music folder the thread goes on and on.and on.. So frustrated. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    I fixed my problem - yours might be different, but it might be the same too . . . My problem was similar to what you described. The hardware connected sound was there but the device seemed to not be recognized. Turned out that it was just running very very very very very slowly (thinking that it was an old as hell Iomega Zip dri've)
    The Creative device was using a driver written by Iomega (that was the tip off)
    Once I got rid of the Iomega stuff, it works fine.
    If you have any slower (older?) mass storage dri'ves - you might try uninstalling them to see if that fixes the problem . . .
    good luck

  • Help please....phone icon missing from screen suddenly

    Hi,suddenly I looked at my home screen and it seemed different. I noticed that the phone option is missing from the bottom of the home screen. It is usually down with the icons "mail" "safari" and "ipod". Where did it go and how can I get it back???? Thanks...

    Hello szabc,
    Welcome to the Discussions Boards!
    ride1992 is correct. You may have moved the Phone icon to another page of your home screen. Fortunately the Phone icon is not one that can be deleted - only moved. Information for editing or resetting your home screen is found in the pages ride1992 mentioned.

    I have read past topics. Those are really helpful, but I still haven't got my job done. I tried the following:
    String command1 = "ls -la > ls1.txt";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command1);
    String command2 = "tcsh -c ls -la > ls2.txt";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command2);
    String command4 = "cp keywords.txt copyversion1.txt";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command4);
    String command5 = "tcsh -c cp keywords.txt copyversion2.txt";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command5);
    String command6 = "tcsh -c 'cp keywords.txt copyversion3.txt'";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command6);
    Only "command4" works. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much Gautam. Your solution certainly works. If you don't mind, I would like to ask you (or anybody who is willing to answer) something else. I am trying to run other types of unix command lines as well. I thought that the format you gave would work for everything. But it doesn't seem so:
    String command1[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "ls -la > ls1.txt "}; // this works as you suggested
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command1);
    String command12[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "lynx -dump http://www.yahoo.com > webpage.txt"}; //working fine.
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command12);
    String command10[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM10 &"}; //doesn't work
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command10);
    String command[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "/u/drspeech/sun4/bin/ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM0 &"}; // doesn't work
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
    String command13[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "ngc -text keywords.txt -lm LM13"}; // doesn't work
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command13);
    String command8 = "ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM8 &"; //doesn't work
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command8);
    String command9 = "/u/drspeech/sun4/bin/ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM9 &"; //doesn't work
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command9);
    I tried "commandd1" and "command12". Those worked fine. No problemo. However, there's someting else I need to get done for my job; that is "command10". But it just didn't work. I thought maybe, it's because "ngram-count" is not part of the standard UNIX commands. So, I thought I might just add another alias for it in the ".cshrc" file and call it "ngc" instead. Then I tried to call the alias "ngc" instead. But it didn't work also. Then I thought, maybe, I should call it by referencing it from its original directory "/u/drspeech/sun4/bin/ngram-count". That didn't work either. I tried a couple of other combinations. None worked. I would really like to see how to solve this.

  • Urgent help please!! decrypting a string recived from external device

    i'm using 3des, with ECB mode and PKCS5 padding to encrypt and decrypt a string with a secret Key.
    i get an encypted string from external device (remote pc). this string is represented with an array of 16 bytes.
    i pass this array directly to the method decypt.doFinal, but i get a badPaddingException :Given final block not properly padded
         at com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE_h.b(DashoA12275)
         at com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE_h.b(DashoA12275)
         at com.sun.crypto.provider.DESedeCipher.engineDoFinal(DashoA12275)
         at javax.crypto.Cipher.doFinal(DashoA12275)
    i tried to simulate this problem in my PC, so i encrypt a string and i pass the result (array of 16 bytes) to decrypt.doFinal and it's OK.
    when i pass directly an array of 16 bytes the exception is thrown!!
    does anyone have an idea please??

    does anyone have an idea please??Either you are using the wrong key or your encrypted data has been corrupted. Since you have only provided a minimal amount of code it is impossible for us (well me anyway) to provide a better answer.

  • Help (please) w/ Full System Restore after downgrading from Snow to Leopard

    Yes. I should have created a separate partition, cloned the drive, etc…. But everything was working so well I figured an upgrade to SL would make things amazing. Wrong.
    So I downgraded from Snow Leopard to Leopard, using a clean Erase and Install from the OSX DVD that came with my Mac. Told by an AppleCare techie that I could restore my system from a Time Machine BackUp, I was confident that when the install successfully completed I would be able to restore from the TM Backup I made PRIOR TO installing Snow Leopard.
    However, the 'restore system from time machine…' option that came up at the end of the Leopard installation told me I only have one TM backup, the latest one made under Snow Leopard (which obviously cannot be used to restore a system now running on Leopard.
    When I log into the OS, I can open TM and choose the last 10.5 (Leopard) backup I made, but it seems to only let me restore the 'Macintosh HD' as a folder. So here is where I am stuck:
    How can I restore my system - now on a clean install of Leopard - to the last TM backup I made under the selfsame OS. {Sorry if this is a simpleton question - I just really do not want to ** anything up}.

    Thanks, Pondini -
    Good to know the AppleCare rep. I talked to (apparently) knew nothing about time machine or how to restore a system from it. I was given nothing but wrong and bad advice…
    Yeah, unfortunately that seems to happen on occasion. They don't seem to have access to decent info on things they don't understand, or just "wing it" or something.
    Anyway, the erase and install happened, so at least my system is 'fresh'. I booted from the OSX DVD, went into the Utilities menu, found the TM Back-up I wanted, et voila. But it seems I could have bypassed the whole erase/install thing and just restored with the BackUp from TM.
    So I must say, to Apple's credit, that TM works extremely well, and exactly as described; couldn't have been more painless (not what I'm used to with computers, at all).
    That's why you got a Mac! (They're certainly not perfect, but they're pretty good!).
    Glad it's sorted out, and thanks for the star!

  • Help Please: External Hard Drive not accepting files from Macbook

    My Desktop is a PC.
    My laptop is a Macbook.
    My External Hard drive is a Belkin High Speed USB 2.0 External Drive Enclosure Kit.
    I am new to the Mac.
    The Macbook recognises the External Hard Drive when plugged into a USB port. No problem.
    I can drag any file from the external hard drive into the mac. No problem.
    But I cannot drag any file from the Mac back into the External Hard Drive. (Jpegs, PSD, Doc etc-no file is accepted)
    When I drag the file from the Mac to the External Hard Drive I get this message:
    "The item “filename“ cannot be moved because “folder(external drive)” cannot be modified.
    I did a get-info on the external drive and got this information-
    'Format: Windows NT Filesystem
    Ownership and Permissions: you can only read'
    It defeats the purpose of my working on my laptop if i cannot bring the files back 'home' to the Hard Drive-What can I do to be able to bring files back into the external hard drive? Can someone please advise me?
    I look forward to hear from you.

    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.0.x)   13.3" Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz Laptop

    if these macbooks are dual core(?) supporting mac and
    windows is there not a way for me to work on a
    file,save the file in windows and then drag it into
    the external hard drive?
    i guess not?
    Not really.
    On a related note and as an alternative, someone posted a way that I didn't think about which may get around having to do all that:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=630540&tstart=45
    i guess i'll have to go the partition route. all my
    important files are on the external hard drive-who
    can i trust to do this and how much can i expect to
    pay for it?
    I think I would try the above networking route first before playing around with the partition on the external.
    I think it should work so long as the external drive on the PC is shared.
