Help with collision and layers....
Hi everyone I'm having a problem with this isometric RPG im making where this little guy walks around in this room
with this shelf in it.
But when I go in front of the shelf I want it to swap layers and vice versa on the other side so it looks 3D my problem is that the sensors on the other side
get touched when going in front!
Then it swaps layers for the other side...
Anyone that knows how I could do this please do
This is something I am trying to figure out as well.. Anyone?

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

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.

I'm still fairly new to Illustrator so even when I tried to Google for my solution I didn't know how to word it properly so I though you guys would be able to help me.
So, basicaly I'n trying to keep my "Flag" effect applied to the ribbon/banner but i want only the top of it to be above the circle. However, if try to take the top selected layers out of the group to place on top of the circle, the "Flag" effect
resets or if I try putting the cicle in the group it gets the effect applied on to it, which I don't want. Only way I can think of doing it is with a clipping mask but it doesnt look so great :/Both Groups and Layers are nothing but sets of objects which are contiguous (next to each other) in the object stacking order. Just think of them as "brackets" around a portion of a list for organizational and selection convenience.
All objects reside on a Layer. Layers contain Groups and objects, because a Group is a kind of object in the same sense that a set of objects in set theory is itself treated as an object. Layers are not contained in Groups. In Illustrator, all objects are listed in the Layers palette; that does not make them Layers. Layers can exist and be completely empty. Groups can't.
Objects all exist in a stack. A path is an object. You cannot have one portion of object A in front of object B and another portion of object A behind object B. All such appearances of objects intertwining that way are "faked" by using multiple objects which merely appear to be one object.
It's not clear from your description what exactly you are trying to accomplish. But basically, you will most easily accomplish it by cutting either the ribbon or the ellipse at places where they don't overlap. Others often trot out recommendations involving clipping masks. In the vast majority of cases, tedious masking is not necessary, and simply cutting a path into two or more objects and restacking them is both easier and simpler in terms of the resulting constructs.

Help with Saving Progressive Layers as Video or Files
Hi, I am interested in creating an animated video with Photoshop. I have 80+ layers, each one building on the last. For example, layer 1 is a simple horizontal line ( - ). Layer 2 is a simple vertical line ( | ). With both layers on, they form a cross ( + ). Layer 1 must be visible for layer 2 to make sense, within the video. So, each previous layer must remain visible when the next layer is turned on. Then the next, then the next.
Previously, I have manually saved layer 1 as a JPG, turned on layer 2 and saved the new file, turned on layer 3, saved the next new file,and so on, until I go through all layers. Then I used a video editing program to put the files in sequence and render it as a video.
I am hoping PS (CS5) can help me. I need to render a video with each layer turning on (perhaps a .03 second delay, like in the animation strip) but with all previous layers remaining on. Onion skin's max layers is 8, so that doesn't work for me.
If I can't render the video directly from PS, how can I create an action that will
1. save file without a prompt as JPG with the layer name as the file name, in the directory where the PSD file resides
2. make visible the next layer up (or down, whatever)
3. repeat until all layers are complete, no matter how many layersThey aren't necessarily only line drawings. As an animated video, it may be line drawings, then a photo, then drawings on the photo. So it's something like this:
layer 0 = black background
layer 1 = white vertical line
layer 2 = blue horizontal line
layer 3 = photograph in the upper left corner
layer 4 = blue dot over the photograph
An example of one of my shorter films is
I did that by saving every layer as a separate JPG, then putting it together in a video editor. That's how I've always done it, but that won't work anymore due to the volume of the layers. -
Help with framesets and centering
Ok. so we designed an entire site using the fixed top, nested
left frameset. We cannot figure out how to center it. I have
designed other sites using tables or images and all I had to do was
set the alignment to center. I can't figure this one out though.
Please help!! The website is www.independence-community.com just so
you can see what I'm talking about.Actually, left and top of zero is the top left corner of the
nearest
positioned ancestor. Only in the absence of one is it the
browser top left

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.
DrakeUsually 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). -

I am trying to slide the cat into the scene a little at a time foir an animation project I am working on. However, when I export the image the back ground of the image expands with a checkered back ground( showing here in white) and shows the whole cat.
How do I just show a little of the cat on the image at a time when exporting. I am trying to give the impression that the cat is walking into the room. I do not want to have to cut the cat up.
I would be thankful for any suggestions.Provide the name of the program you are using so a Moderator may move this message to the correct program forum
This Cloud forum is not about help with program problems... a program would be Photoshop or Lighroom or Muse or ??? -

Help with Facebook and Social Media wigets (Was: How do I fix the three probs that...)
I am having problems with the facebook or social media widgets. I would like the link to send viewers to my facebook business page, but when testing it shows my pic and a 'switch' sign (see screen shot) and when I open the site the message is as the other screenshot, great, but I don't know where to find which 'asset' is the problem and why. Also why bother having child pages if the menu doesn't reflect that? I see that drop down menus are an issue, also with some other forum members.
Thanks for any help offered!, I think I have solved the first problem now but still would appreciate any help with the other 2!
For some reason the facebook widget now loads the correct page, and I give up about the drop down menu, hopefully this will be addressed in the next update of Muse??Hello,
For the "asset" issue, try locating the asset in the assets panel. It should have an icon like this: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-12-16_0917.png
For the child pages in the menus issue, go to the menu options (by clicking the small blue arrow in the right top corner of the menu), and then change the menu type to "All Pages" instead of "Top Level Pages".
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Help with WindowsDesktopSSO and AMIdentity.getAttributes
Hi guys and girls,
I need some help from you experts.
I successfully setup, thanks to this guide
http://blogs.oracle.com/knittel/entry/opensso_windowsdesktopsso
and a lot of trial & errors and googling a Kerberos authentication between OpenAM version 9.5.2 and an Active Directory Server.
When I navigate to openAM page (from a domain machine) http://<openAMhost>:<port>/opensso, it doesn't ask for credentials ...
and I can see, with ieHttpHeaders, kerberos data exchange.
Without creating an Active Directory DataStore (pointing to the same domain where I use kerberos data) in openAM,
when I navigate (from a domain machine) to /opensso/idm/EndUser page, it always gives me:
"Plug-in com.sun.identity.idm.plugins.ldapv3.LDAPv3Repo encountered an ldap exception. LDAP Error 32: The entry specified in the request does not exist."
Since my aim was to get user information from a web app ... I thought I could have done this with an agent/SDK call as I usually do with "classic" authentication.
Now I created a J2EE Agent (on openAM) to protect one of my application deployed on a JBoss 4.2.1-GA server.
Agent configured with default options and these changes:
Agent Filter Mode: J2EE_POLICY
User Mapping Mode: USER_ID
User Attribute Name: tried both with employeenumber and uid
User Principal Flag: enabled
User Token Name: UserToken
FQDN Check: tried both with enabled and disabled
WebAuthentication Available : Enabled
In my application WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
<security-domain>java:/jaas/AMRealm</security-domain>
</jboss-web>Usually, when I authenticate with "classic" (internal datastore) login, I can get user attributes programmatically with a code like this:
private String getCredenzialiUtente(HttpServletRequest request)
String SSOUsername = null;
SSOToken ssoToken = null;
SSOTokenManager manager = null;
try
manager = SSOTokenManager.getInstance();
if ( manager == null)
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to Get: SSOTokenManager");
String ssoTokenID = AmFilterManager.getAmSSOCache().getSSOTokenForUser(request);
ssoToken = manager.createSSOToken(ssoTokenID);
if ( ssoToken == null )
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to Get: TokenForUser");
AMIdentity amid = new AMIdentity(ssoToken);
if(amid == null)
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to Get: UserIdentity");
SSOUsername = amid.getName();
System.out.println("######### USERNAME FROM SSO: " + SSOUsername);
Set<String> info = new HashSet<String>();
info.add("uid");
info.add("givenName");
java.util.Map mappa = amid.getAttributes(info);
if ( mappa != null )
java.util.Set insieme = mappa.keySet();
java.util.Iterator it = insieme.iterator();
while ( it.hasNext() )
String n = it.next().toString();
System.out.println( n + " ==> " + mappa.get(n) );
else
System.err.println(" DAMN - NO ATTR ");
catch (Exception exception)
exception.getMessage();
exception.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("OUT getCredenzialiUtente: " + SSOUsername);
return SSOUsername;
} When I log to console with default "ldapService" module (outside the domain), I can get something like:

What am I missing ? It "crashes" as for getAttributes() call :/
I thought it could be because I didn't setup LDAP DataStore ... so I set up Active Directory Data Store.
While in openAM console (from outside domain) I can see (from Subjects tab) Active Directory users and relative information
(like FirstName (=givenName), Surname (=sn), Full Name (=cn), etc.) ... when I try again with idm/EndUser (from a domain machine)
I get the same error:
Message:Plug-in encountered an ldap exception. LDAP Error 32: The entry specified in the request does not exist.What should I do now ?
If you need more clarifications ... just ask :)
Thank you in advance and sorry for the big post.
Best Regards,
Tony
P.D. By the way, my OpenAM configuration does not create any "amAuthWindowsDesktopSSO.log" :(
I setup, from opensso/Debug.jsp message level for Authentication ... but it still doesn't create this log ... can you please tell me how to let openAM write it ?
Again thank youWeird enough, changing to ADAM data store (and not "standard" AD datastore) solved the problem :D
I still wonder why since both plugins share the same java [implementing] class...

Tony
