Help with buttons and hovering over them

Hey all,
I'm having trouble with a certain portion of code that I can't seem to get. What I want to do is display some sort of text when I hover the mouse over a specific button. I do not want to do this with a tool tip as there are other issues with using that method. So I need to print out something onto a JLabel whenever the JButton has the mouse over it. The catch is, the button may or may not have the current focus. How would I go about doing this? I have worked on it for a couple hours now and cannot figure it out. Thanks for the help.

how would i differentiate between each specific button that has this listener? what i mean is i have about 8 different buttons that i want to do this for, so would the code go like this:
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent me) {
if( me.getSource().getComponent() == myButton){
System.out.println("Just a test");
}i'm not near a compiler currently but i think that is correct. or am i wrong?

Hi there... I need a little help with buttons and their actions using flex builder 4.5

I run a repo company and have zero experience in the developing applications and I could use some help from anybody that is willing to give it.... Here is a basic idea of what I need... let's say there are 3 states... state 1 has a question that says "car you read this?" and a "yes" and a "no" button... when you select either answer, you go to slide 2. Slide 2 with have a question like "Is the sky brown?" and a "yes" and a "no" button and when either button is selected, you are taken to Slide 3. Slide 3 needs to be some sort of a text form that is created by the user selecting the buttons and the screen would say something like "yes, i can read this. no, the sky is not brown", or "no, I can't read this. yes, the sky is brown" . I know how to get the buttons to take the user to the correct new slide, but I do not know how to get the buttons to insert specific text somewhere else when any button is selected.... Can anybody help me? Youtube is only getting me so far, and my kids are driving me nuts while I'm trying to figure this monster out... I've gotten several slides created and some screens have several buttons, I just need to see what I need to put in the code to get it to do this type of function

Also where can I read up on setting my .Xdefaults and xmonad.hs file? I ripped someones from this forum, and it works nice, but I want to make my onw, but cant find any decent documentation. Thanks.
At the moment, the best source for configs are those posted in the screenshots thread (for both Xdefaults and xmonad.hs), the xmonad config archive (and the available docs from the root page on that site), and our own thread. Unfortunately you'll have to sort of scrounge for good docs on the xmonad.hs at the moment, since most of the information was written for the 0.4 version of xmonad. The configuration has since been made MUCH simpler.
Hope that helps some.

Help with buttons and AS3

I need urgent help for a college project, I've drawn a map and I have some photographs that appear on the map from the timeline one after another. I want the timeline to be activated when I press a Button On the map of where I've been on holiday but I have no Idea how to put it together.

While I can offer a couple ideas, you'll need to spend some time figuring out how to use Flash... maybe get some formal training with it.
For the photographs, create each set of them as a movieclip, and give each movieclip an instance name so that you can control its visibility using code. Initially you will want to set the visible property of them all to false, likely done in the first frame of the timeline (ex: imageGrp1.visible = false; ). Then you will use your buttons to make them visible.
To code one of the buttons, you need to assign it an instance name as well. Then you need to assign an event listener for that button to detect when it gets clicked, and an event handler function to go with the event listener... the listener calls the function into action when the event occurs.
ex:
// the event listener for a button with an instance name of imgGrp1Button...
imgGrp1Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showGrp1);
// and the event handler function for the CLICK listener
function showGrp1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
imageGrp1.visible = true;
If you want to hide any visible set when you select a new one, then you can create a function that sets them all visible = false and call that function both at the start in frame 1 and in each button event handler function (before you set the selected set to be visible).

Help with buttons and graphics

ok all I get on this is about a hundred runtime errors starting with NullPointerException.

ok guys comon I really need help on this one. Im using netbeans btw.

- People about these parts comment on Java problems, not Netbeans problems. Netbeans has its own [forums for Netbeans problems|http://forums.netbeans.org/] (<- link), try them.
- As far as the Java code goes, you will get a much better chance of help if you..
a) Post an SSCCE (<- link), rather than random code snippets that you think encapsulate the problem. Let's face it, you don't know the answer, and until you do, you cannot be sure the fix is to be found in the code snippets you post. Can you?
b) Post code in between code tags to retain the formatting and indentation. To do that, select the code and click the CODE button on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form.Easy there tiger, this is not a netbeans problem, so he is in the right place.
The code does look to be SSCCE or close anyways (remove the ... lines and if it still compiles and run I would say this is SSCCE).
The code tags is a huge problem here though. I am trying to read it without getting a headache, best as I can tell the OP seems to be doing some really funny stuff with paint. Like is he overriding paint to paint a square? That can't be good!

Help with buttons and timing

I have four buttons, each with an advanced action. Only the first one works. I know it's related to the button timing, but I can't figure out how to fix it.

Let's try some troubleshooting 101. Remove the complexity to isolate the issue.
Try setting each button just to have a Continue action again and test. This will show whether the problem is with the buttons or with the Advanced Actions you've assigned to them.
If the buttons work fine with Continue actions, try dragging your first button off the stage area into the scrap area and then test the slide again. If the button that is first in line NOW works, but others don't, then I would look at these advanced actions carefully because there may be something in the logic that is fouling things up.
For example, standard actions do not release the playhead unless you also add an extra Continue action line, whereas Conditional Actions do not require this same Continue action.

Need help with button and motion tween...

I'm trying to create a simple game. Right now I have one button that when clicked moves the character across the screen. My issue is trying to make the player stop looping after I click the button. If I just insert stop for the last frame it will only loop once and stop, but it will not play again after the button is clicked. I've tried using players_turn boolean but couldn't get that to work. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
[AS]
package
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
    import flash.ui.Keyboard;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.ui.Mouse;
    public class Main extends MovieClip
        //Player variables
        var players_turn:Boolean = true;
        //Enemy variables
        public function Main()
            //Add event listeners
            buttonAttack.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonAttackClick);
        //Event handlers
        function onButtonAttackClick(event:MouseEvent):void
            if (players_turn == true)
                //Player attacks enemy
                player.gotoAndStop(2);
                trace("attack");
                trace(players_turn);
        //trace(players_turn);
        /*if (players_turn == false)
            player.stop();
            players_turn = true;
[/AS]

player is a symbol that is classic tweened. It has to frames. The first is a still frame with a stop action. The second has been converted as a symbol to show the player move across the screen and back.   When the attack button is clicked the player moves across the screen and back but it keeps on looping. If I add a stop action to the last frame it will move and comeback and stop but it will not move anymore when the button is clicked again.

Need help with buttons and fading clips

howdy,
I have 3 buttons on a stage that play 3 different movies.
While no button is pressed, there is a looping video on the stage
playing. When a button is pressed, that looping movie needs to fade
out and fade in the movie that button calls for. I have attached
script but it isn't working at all. Not sure where to go from here.
thanks for your help.

Hello again,
Now I'm completely lost. Where should I add that code in your
last post?
thanks.

Is it a wi-fi or cellular connection that isn't working? If its wi-fi and other people/computers/phones can connect check your settings. If its cellular, are other people's phones (on the same carrier) working in the same location? If other people can't connect then it is likely a network problem. If others can you may need to reset/restore you iPhone.

If i made an appt. with Apple, and i asked them if i could switch my black Iphone 5 to a white Iphone 5, because i always have trouble with black Iphones, would they let me?

i've had black iphones in the past, and the same thing always gets messed up, the network, i will not have service what-so ever, and when my mother's iphone will be right next to me and she will have full service. Also the lock screen button/power button broke on both of my black iphones as well. i was just wondering if they would consider. Does apple have an email i could contact?

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,

           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

Basic troubleshooting steps in the following order.
1. Reset. Press and hold both Power and Home Buttons together till Apple Logo appears.
2. Restore to a backup.
3. Backup, Restore in iTunes and setup as new.

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.

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.
