Help with applets and shape/pixel detection

hi
im currently trying to write my first propear programming project, its a little evolving ecosystem but ive hit a stumbling block. im trying to write a method which returns an array of positions around a calling creatures location filled with numbers that refer to its surroundings, in the snippet below it places a 1 in reference to a prey. the method performs a pixel by pixel search of x y matches in an area around the calling creature, it then decides what location the reference is to be placed by working out which range of positions it is in.
unfortunately no one seems to recognise anybody or behave in the manner in which im encoding them to. i suspect its problem with my basic (and im sure crude) algorithm. if anyone has the time or indeed the inclination to look over this code and offer some opinion i would be very greatful indeed. or has anyone worked on a problem similar to this and could offer me some advice.
thanks
for(int index = 0; index < prey.size(); index++)
otherx = ((Prey)prey.get(index)).getXcord();
othery = ((Prey)prey.get(index)).getYcord();
for(int i = -8; i < 9; i++)
for(int j = -8; j < 9; j++)
if(otherx == xpos + i && othery == ypos + j && otherx != xpos
&& othery != ypos )
if(otherx <= xpos && otherx > (xpos - 8)
&& othery > (ypos + 3) && othery < (ypos + 8))
     objectsaround[zero] = 1;
else if(otherx <= xpos && otherx > (xpos - 8)
&& othery >= ypos && othery < (ypos + 4))
     objectsaround[one] = 1;
else if(otherx <= xpos && otherx > (xpos - 8)
&& othery <= ypos && othery > (ypos - 8))
     objectsaround[two] = 1;
else if(otherx >= xpos && otherx < (xpos + 4)
&& othery <= ypos && othery > (ypos - 8))
     objectsaround[three] = 1;
else if(otherx > (xpos + 3) && otherx < (xpos + 8)
&& othery <= ypos && othery > (ypos - 8 ))
     objectsaround[four] = 1;
else if(otherx > (xpos + 3) && otherx < (xpos + 8)
&& othery >= ypos && othery < (ypos + 4))
     objectsaround[five] = 1;
else if(otherx > (xpos + 3) && otherx < (xpos + 8)
&& othery > (ypos + 3) && othery < (ypos + 8))
objectsaround[six] = 1;
else if(otherx >= xpos && otherx < (xpos + 4)
&& othery > (ypos + 3) && othery < (ypos + 8))
objectsaround[seven] = 1;
}

I'm reposting the code with the formatting tags so that I can read it.
for(int index = 0; index < prey.size(); index++)
otherx = ((Prey)prey.get(index)).getXcord();
othery = ((Prey)prey.get(index)).getYcord();
for(int i = -8; i < 9; i++)
for(int j = -8; j < 9; j++)
if(otherx == xpos + i && othery == ypos + j && otherx != xpos && othery != ypos )
if(otherx <= xpos && otherx > (xpos - 8) && othery > (ypos + 3) && othery < (ypos + 8))
     objectsaround[zero] = 1;
else if(otherx <= xpos && otherx > (xpos - 8) && othery >= ypos && othery < (ypos + 4))
     objectsaround[one] = 1;
else if(otherx <= xpos && otherx > (xpos - 8) && othery <= ypos && othery > (ypos - 8))
     objectsaround[two] = 1;
else if(otherx >= xpos && otherx < (xpos + 4) && othery <= ypos && othery > (ypos - 8))
     objectsaround[three] = 1;

I need help with Applets and Multithreading

[hello all. first time poster. big fan of java.]
now to the important matter: Applets and Threads
=======================================
1) I have an applet with that implements the runnable interface, and has one thread (and a simple animation). If I try to view this applet in the applet viewer with JGrasp, it spits an insane error telling me
"java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThreadGroup)"
but, if I run the applet through a web browser, by putting it in an html document, it runs correctly, without error
What on earth is wrong, and how do I fix it?!?
2) I want to put 2 threads in my applet?
If I implement the Runnable interface, I can only have one Run() method in my applet, right?
So how do I define behaviour for 2 threads when I only have one run method in which to define the behaviour? Can I use two threads with the runnable interface, or do I have to make objects of my own defined thread classes?
3) I tried to make 2 threads in my applet by creating my own thread classes, and instantiating them in my applet (instead of implementing the runnable interface).
I still get the same insane error as I mentioned in my first point (which I expected), except now, the applet won't work even when viewed through a web browser!!
Please please help me. I am frustrated beyond belief (at what is probably a very simple problem)
I have searched and searched all over and found no answers on this

If I try to view this applet in the applet viewer with JGrasp, it spits an insane error telling me
"java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThreadGroup)"Don't know anything about JGrasp, but it runs with pretty tight security - thats what this insane error is all about. Use the appletviewer or a browser.
If I implement the Runnable interface, I can only have one Run() method in my applet, right?Correct
So how do I define behaviour for 2 threads when I only have one run method in which to define the behaviour?
Can I use two threads with the runnable interface, or do I have to make objects of my own defined thread classes?You can create two Runnable implementations (classes) in your applet.
example (missing code)
class MyApplet extends Applet {
void doSomething() {
void doSomethingElse() {
void startThreads() {
    Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { doSomething();}});
    t.start();
    t = new Thread(new Runnable2());
    t.start();
class Runnable2 implements Runnable {
     public void run() {
       doSomethingElse();
}If the above seems confusing, read up on anonymous and inner classes.
3) I tried to make 2 threads in my applet by creating my own thread classesTry not subclassing thread - this causes a security check

Hi,
well i am not able to get any value from connection.getOutputStream() and i doubt my applet is not able to hit the servlet. could you review my code and tell me if it has some bug somewhere. and more over i want to know how to send multiple file data from applet to servlet . i want some sample or example if possible.
do share if you have any experience of this sort..
Thanks.

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,
C
SAVING THE LIST DATA TO DB
DATA: L_WA(800).
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
ZDBTAB-DATALEN = STRLEN( L_WA ).
MOVE: L_WA to ZDBTAB-RAWDATA.
ZDBTAB-LINENUM = SY-TABIX.
INSERT ZDBTAB.
READING THE DATA FROM DB
DATA: BEGIN OF T_DATA,
             SEQNR type ZDBTAB-LINENUM,
             DATA type ZDBTAB-RAWDATA,
           END OF T_TAB.
Select the data.
SELECT linenum rawdata from ZDBTAB into table T_DATA
     WHERE repid = w_repname
     AND rundate = w_rundate
     ORDER BY linenum.
Populate calling Internal Table.
LOOP AT T-DATA.
APPEND T_DATA to T_TAB.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

Help with count and sum query

Hi I am using oracle 10g. Trying to aggregate duplicate count records. I have so far:
SELECT 'ST' LEDGER,
CASE
WHEN c.Category = 'E' THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
END
ACCOUNTS,
CASE WHEN a.COMPANY = 'ZEE' THEN 'OH' ELSE 'NA' END MARKET,
'MARCH_12' AS PERIOD,
COUNT (a.empl_id) head_count
FROM essbase.employee_pubinfo a
LEFT OUTER JOIN MMS_DIST_COPY b
ON a.cost_ctr = TRIM (b.bu)
INNER JOIN MMS_GL_PAY_GROUPS c
ON a.pay_group = c.group_code
WHERE a.employee_status IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
AND FISCAL_YEAR = '2012'
AND FISCAL_MONTH = 'MARCH'
GROUP BY a.company,
b.district,
a.cost_ctr,
c.category,
a.fiscal_month,
a.fiscal_year;
which gives me same rows with different head_counts. I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
user610131 wrote:
... which gives me same rows with different head_counts.If they have different head_counts, then the rows are not the same.
I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?Maybe. It's more likely that you need a different GROUP BY clause, since the GROUP BY clause determines how many rows of output there will be. I'll be able to say more after you post the sample data, results, and explanation.
You may want both a sub-query and a different GROUP BY clause. For example:
WITH    got_group_by_columns     AS
     SELECT a.empl_id
     ,     CASE
                    WHEN c.category = 'E'
              THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
                    ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
            END          AS accounts
     ,      CASE
                    WHEN a.company = 'ZEE'
                    THEN 'OH'
                    ELSE 'NA'
            END          AS market
     FROM              essbase.employee_pubinfo a
     LEFT OUTER JOIN mms_dist_copy             b ON   a.cost_ctr     = TRIM (b.bu)
     INNER JOIN       mms_gl_pay_groups        c ON   a.pay_group      = c.group_code
     WHERE     a.employee_status     IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
     AND        fiscal_year           = '2012'
     AND        fiscal_month          = 'MARCH'
SELECT    'ST'               AS ledger
,       accounts
,       market
,       'MARCH_12'          AS period
,       COUNT (empl_id)      AS head_count
FROM       got_group_by_columns
GROUP BY accounts
,            market
;But that's just a wild guess.
You said you wanted "Help with count and sum". I see the COUNT, but what do you want with SUM? No doubt this will be clearer after you post the sample data and results.

Help with Importing and Editing an Image

Hello All,
I am working on a project where I need to import an image into LabView and edit it. The gist of my program is that I want to create a VI that generates an interactive floorplan.
I want to be able to import the bitmap or png into my file so I can edit the file by assigning flashing colors to each room, etc.
I tried to import the .png by wiring "Read png" --> "Draw Flattened Pixmap" --> "new picture".
When I run the program I get a "general I/O" error in the "Read PNG" block even though it lets me select which png I can import.
Does LabVIEW 8.5 not allow for importing PNG files? Does anyone have any idea why I am getting this error?
On another note, I was reading about some of the IMAQ VI's and they seem like they may work for importing an image and creating graphics, etc. Should I try to delve a little deeper into the IMAQ stuff?
Thanks much for the help!

Great call on checking whether it was just a bad file.
I tried to convert it from a .bmp to a .png by simply renaming it which LabVIEW did not like...
So I just opened it up and re-saved it with photo editing software and it worked!
Now I just have to play around with my editing options to get the graphics I want.
I'll post some sample code just for suggestions that anyone may have. This is just my preliminary structure without most of my condition statements. All the code inside the case structures will be added when I figure all this stuff out.
My goal is to have each strobe and interlock correspond to a different graphic on the floorplan. For example, when strobe 1 reads red, I want the corresponding room to flash red and vice versa with green and yellow. Also, when interlock 1 reads false, I want a flashing light to pop up next to the corresponding door.
Anyone have any ideas for how to make these kinds of graphics? I figured I may be able to use a color box for the solid colors and LEDs for the flashing lights but I would rather edit the pixels to make it look more professional.
Thanks for all the help!

Need help re applet and oracle thin

In contrast to what many people say in this forum, it is possible to have an unsigned applet access a database. You don't even have to manipulate the client's policy-file. The requirement is that the database is located on the same machine as the applet is downloaded from.There are however other things that can break this possibility. One is the database-driver itself.
In the case of Oracle we have tried using different versions of the driver. When using version 8.1.7 or 9.0.1 things work nicely, but when switching to version 9.2 it stops working. There is a question on OTN [1]. Let's see what Oracle has to say about it.

Quick help with flash and html

Hi folks,
just a quick query that i'm sure someone out there will know
the answer to (or at least i'm hoping someone will)
I've been working on a new site (first attempt so be gentle
with any criticism please!!)
I used fireworks8 to create a navmenu and it works a treat,
however i also have flash on some of the pages, and the fireworks
submenus don't seem to like showing up over the flash!
see
http://www.gammies.co.uk/construction.asp
for what i mean. the nav links to construction, groundcare and
recreational don't show becuase of the flash. I was trying to see
if there was some option to send the flash to the back of the page
as such so that the navmenu was on top but couldn't get it, and i'm
no sure what i'd have to do code wise to change it (if it's a code
issue). By the way it does it in both firefox and IE
All help greatly appreciated..
Thanks
Chris

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
properly!).

Help With Flash and HTML

I have just completed my website(www.Aquiteoddsite.com).
It is a variety cartoon site for my partner and I. We where
going to upload the file the other day but when we put it on an
HTML page- The Audio was happing abut a second before the
animation. I then checked to make sure it was not in the actual
file. I wacthed it by itself and it worked fine. Then I tried again
to toput it on an html page- once again it wigged out. Finnaly I
tried to put it on a different site and it still failed o work
properly. I don't remeber futzing around with my publishing
settings either.
If you be so kind as to help me, we would greatly apprecate
it. to the 5th power.
Thanks in advance. Quite Odd.

Absolute Beginner needs help with applet

Hello folks,
I know I have already started a topic on this, but it was getting a bit long and I wasn't getting anywhere with it. Here's my problem... first of all, I am new to Java, especially with Applets. I attempted to create the HelloWorld applet from this site's First Cup of Java tutorial. I was able to compile the java file fine, but when I attemted to add the applet to an html file, I get a message at the bottom taskbar saying "load: class HelloWorld not found". I can't figure out what is wrong with my code. I have all my files (html, java, and class files) in one folder, with no subfolders at all. In case it matters, I'm on a Windows 98 machine with IE 6.0 for my browser. Here is the code:
First my HelloWorld.java file, which, as I said, compiles with no problems
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
* The HelloWorld class implements an applet that
* simply displays "Hello World!".
public class HelloWorld extends Applet {
     public void paint (Graphics g) {
          //Display "Hello World!"
          g.drawString("Hello World!", 50, 25);
}And here is the HTML file which is supposed to display the applet:
<html>
     <head>
          <title>A Simple Program</title>
     </head>
     <body>
          Here is the output of my program:
          <applet code="HelloWorld.class" width="150" height="25">
          </applet>
     </body>
</html>Can someone please check this and see what, if anything, is wrong?

Hi Chris,
This isn't going to help much. I took your Java code
and put it in a file HelloWorld.java. I took your HTML
code and put it in a file HelloWorld.html. I compiled
HelloWorld.java with javac so that I had HelloWorld.class.
I then ran the program with appletviewer by typing
appletviewer HelloWorld.html.
It loaded and ran fine.
Since that sounds like exactly what you are doing,
I'm not sure what else to suggest. (I could also
run it by opening the HTML file with IE.)
There are only two things that still suggest themselves,
and they seem like long-shots:
1) Is the file named HelloWorld.java that contains your
code (including the capital W)? This is obviously a
long-shot because your code shouldn't compile if this
was set incorrectly.
2) Is it possible that you have the CLASSPATH environmental
variable set? Some programs (like QuickTime for Java)
will set the CLASSPATH and then Java just stops working.
You can find out by typing SET at the command prompt and
looking for CLASSPATH. If you find it, then you'll probably
need to remove it from your AUTOEXEC.BAT (in Windows 98),
or update it to include the runtime classes for the SDK.

What's the problem you're having ???

Help with encapsulation and a specific case of design

Hello all. I have been playing with Java (my first real language and first OOP language) for a couple months now. Right now I am trying to write my first real application, but I want to design it right and I am smashing my head against the wall with my data structure, specifically with encapsulation.
I go into detail about my app below, but it gets long so for those who don't want to read that far, let me just put these two questions up front:
1) How do principles of encapsulation change when members are complex objects rather than primitives? If the member objects themselves have only primitive members and show good encapsulation, does it make sense to pass a reference to them? Or does good encapsulation demand that I deep-clone all the way to the bottom of my data structure and pass only cloned objects through my top level accessors? Does the analysis change when the structure gets three or four levels deep? Don't DOM structures built of walkable nodes violate basic principles of encapsulation?
2) "Encapsulation" is sometimes used to mean no public members, othertimes to mean no public members AND no setter methods. The reasons for the first are obvious, but why go to the extreme of the latter? More importantly HOW do you go to the extreme of the latter? Would an "updatePrices" method that updates encapsulated member prices based on calculations, taking a single argument of say the time of year be considered a "setter" method that violates the stricter vision of encapsulation?
Even help with just those two questions would be great. For the masochistic, on to my app... The present code is at
http://www.immortalcoil.org/drake/Code.zip
The most basic form of the application is statistics driven flash card software for Japanese Kanji (Chinese characters). For those who do not know, these are ideographic characters that represent concepts rather than sounds. There are a few thousand. In abstract terms, my data structure needs to represent the following.
- There are a bunch of kanji.
   Each kanji is defined by:
   - a single character (the kanji itself); and
   - multiple readings which fall into two categories of "on" and "kun".
      Each reading is defined by:
      - A string of hiragana or katakana (Japanese phoenetic characters); and
      - Statistics that I keep to represent knowledge of that reading/kanji pair.Ideally the structure should be extensible. Later I might want to add statistics associated with the character itself rather than individual readings, for example. Right now I am thinking of building a data structure like so:
- A Vector that holds:
   - custom KanjiEntry objects that each hold
      - a kanji in a primitive char value; and
      - two (on, kun) arrays or Vectors of custom Reading objects that hold
         - the reading in a String; and
         - statistics of some sort, probably in primitive valuesFirst of all, is this approach sensible in the rough outlines?
Now, I need to be able to do the obvious things... save to and load from file, generate tables and views, and edit values. The quesiton of editting values raises the questions I identified above as (1) and (2). Say I want to pull up a reading, quiz the user on it, and update its statistics based on whether the user got it right or wrong. I could do all this through the KanjiEntry object with a setter method that takes a zillion arguments like:
theKanjiEntry.setStatistic(
"on",   // which set of readings
2,      // which element in that array or Vector
"score", // which statistic
98);      // the valueOr I could pass a clone of the Reading object out, work with that, then tell the KanjiEntry to replace the original with my modified clone.
My instincts balk at the first approach, and a little at the second. Doesn't it make more sense to work with a reference to the Reading object? Or is that bad encapsulation?
A second point. When running flash cards, I do not care about the subtlties of the structure, like whether a reading is an on or a kun (although this is important when browsing a table representing the entire structure). All I really care about is kanij/reading pairings. And I should be able to quickly poll the Reading objects to see which ones need quizzing the most, based on their statistics. I was thinking of making a nice neat Hashtable with the keys being the kanji characters in Strings (not the KanjiEntry objects) and the values being the Reading objects. The result would be two indeces to the Reading objects... the basic structure and my ad hoc hashtable for runninq quizzes. Then I would just make sure that they stay in sync in terms of the higher level structure (like if a whole new KanjiEntry got added). Is this bad form, or even downright dangerous?
Apart from good form, the other consideration bouncing around in my head is that if I get all crazy with deep cloning and filling the bottom level guys with instance methods then this puppy is going to get bloated or lag when there are several thousand kanji in memory at once.
Any help would be appreciated.

Usually by better design. Move methods that use the
getters inside the class that actually has the data....
As a basic rule of thumb:
The one who has the data is the one using it. If
another class needs that data, wonder what for and
consider moving that operation away from that class.
Or move from pull to push: instead of A getting
something from B, have B give it to A as a method
call argument.Thanks for the response. I think I see what you are saying.. in my case it is something like this.
Solution 1 (disfavored):
public class kanjiDrill{ // a chunk of Swing GUI or something
     public void runDrill(Vector kanjiEntries){
          KanjiEntry currentKanjiEntry = kanjiEntries.elementAt(0); // except really I will pick one randomly
          char theKanji = currentKanjiEntry.getKanji();
          String theReading = currentKanjiEntry.getReading();
          // build and show a flashcard based on theKanji and theReading
          // use a setter to change currentKanji's data based on whether the user answers correctly;
}Solution 2 (favored):
public class kanjiDrill{ // a chunk of Swing GUI or something
     public void runDrill(Vector kanjiEntries){
          KanjiEntry currentKanjiEntry = kanjiEntries.elementAt(0); // except really I will pick one randomly
          currentKanji.buildAndShowFlashcard(); // method includes updating stats
}I can definitely see the advantages to this, but two potential reasons to think hard about it occur to me right away. First, if this process is carried out to a sufficient extreme the objects that hold my data end up sucking in all the functionality of my program and my objects stop resembling natural concepts.
In your shopping example, say you want to generate price tags for the items. The price tags can be generated with ONLY the raw price, because we do not want the VAT on them. They are simple GIF graphics that have the price printed on a an irregular polygon. Should all that graphics generating code really go into the item objects, or should we just get the price out of the object with a simple getter method and then make the tags?
My second concern is that the more instance methods I put into my bottom level data objects the bigger they get, and I intend to have thousands of these things in memory. Is there a balance to strike at some point?
It's not really a setter. Outsiders are not setting
the items price - it's rather updating its own price
given an argument. This is exactly how it should be,
see my above point. A breach of encapsulation would
be: another object gets the item price, re-calculates
it using a date it knows, and sets the price again.
You can see yourself that pushing the date into the
item's method is much beter than breaching
encapsulation and getting and setting the price.So the point is not "don't allow access to the members" (which after all you are still doing, albeit less directly) so much as "make sure that any functionality implicated in working with the members is handled within the object," right? Take your shopping example. Say we live in a country where there is no VAT and the app will never be used internationally. Then we would resort to a simple setter/getter scheme, right? Or is the answer that if the object really is pure data are almost so, then it should be turned into a standard java.util collection instead of a custom class?
Thanks for the help.

Can anyone help with iPlayer and Sky Mobile?

Ok, I'm so close to giving up with this useless phone. There are 3 apps on my N97 which give me a constant headache.
BBC iPlayer
Sky Mobile*
YouTube
*I should point out that I only use Sky Mobile to set recordings on my Sky+. I do not use it for, nor have any desire to use it for actually watching Mobile TV.
All of these apps work absolutely fine over my home WiFi network. It's when I try to use them over 3G (my Vodafone Live! connection) that I start running in to trouble.
All 3 give me connection problems, errors, and simply refuse to load half the time when on 3G. I got so annoyed I just did a hard reset the other week, and magically all three started working again. However, now 2 of them are failing me again. YouTube (touch wood) is working fine at the moment, but iPlayer and Sky Mobile just aren't.
iPlayer sometimes works. But sometimes I get script errors (unable to load content), and sometimes it says something about checking my connection settings. I wouldn't mind but it's not actually possible to access any options for the iPlayer. Even in application settings there are no options you're able to set.
Sky Mobile simply flat out refuses to work ever on 3G. But it did after I did a hard reset for a couple of weeks, now it just stopped working! It wont even load. It just gives the error message 'Unable to connect to network - please check connection settings" or something along those lines.
I've tried so many different things. Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live! all the time, tried setting my video streaming settings to WAP, all sorts. Every combination I can think of.
I just can't wait to get rid of this phone. I've put so many people off buying one. They see it and think it's all swish and cool, and I just say 'Don't. You'll regret it'. I can't wait for my contract to be up so I can upgrade to an iPhone now Vodafone have got them.
Can anyone help with these problems? Thanks in advance, but I don't hold out much hope...

About iPlayer.
Have a chat with Vodaphone. Streaming iPlayer over 3G IS allowed on Vodaphone contract, unlike my O2 contract. As long as your contract allows it, and you have the correct AP address, it should be fine. Vodaphone should be able to give you the setting.
Mine only works over Wlan.
FWIW, "... streaming over 3G is not currently available on iPhone handsets on any mobile network".
p.s. Just to be clear. You say "Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live!".
iPlayer uses the Nokia browser "Web". So that's where you should make the setting "Ask when needed". It should then offer you the choice of whatever you've set in Destinations> Internet> then select whatever you've chosen as your GPRS connection.(as advised, or sent to you by Vodaphone).
