Help with Creating a Jeopardy Game for Classroom Teacher

Hi,
I am a middle school teacher and would like to create a Flash Jeopardy game for the teachers at our school to use on our school website. I would like a game similar to the game on http://www.superteachertools.com/jeopardy/.
I have been able to successfully create a flash jeopardy game that uses a xml file. My problem is that I have to have a swf file and an xml file for every game we create. I want to be able to have one swf file that will load many different Jeopardy games.
I am using Flash CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, and MySQL. The files I have created are here: http://www.marylynnewilliams.com/MaryLynneWilliams/test/DownloadZIP/JeopardyGames.php
There is also a zip file: http://www.marylynnewilliams.com/MaryLynneWilliams/test/DownloadZIP/Jeopardy.zip
If anyone has time to help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Mary Lynne

Hi
I've had a look at your zip files, and with the best will in the world what your asking for is way beyond what one individual here is willing to invest.
First of all, this is AS2.0 on the Timeline, most Coders don't do this anymore. It's AS3.0 and Classes now.
If your able to invest a little time and patient in learning AS3 the rewards are far greater.
I'm sorry this might not be the answer you where looking for, but it's best you find out now than waiting indefinitely and getting no further with your project.

Creating a jeopardy game

Hi,
I'd like to create a Jeopardy game using the interaction widget but am encourntering a ton of problems.
First off often the information I input is no longer there after I leave the window in whcih I wrote it. Second, when I put anything in French in doesn't save (is there a way around this).
Third, can the categories be longer than a few caracters?
I am working in Captivate 7.
Thank you!

Need Help in creating Unix Shell Script for database

Would be appreciable if some one can help in creating unix shell script for the Oracle DB 10,11g.
Here is the condition which i want to implement.
1. Create shell script to create the database with 10GB TB SPACE and 3 groups of redo log file(Each 300MB).
2. Increase size of redolog file.
3. Load sample schema.
4. dump the schema.
5. Create empty db (Script should check if db already exists and drop it in this case).
6. Create backup using rman.
7. restore backup which you have backed up.

This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site. Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code. But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours. There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

Help with creating a Quiz

Hey i need help with creating a quiz with scoring and all.
I need a helping hand so if you can get me started that
would help a lot.
Use the Question class to define a Quiz class. A
quiz can be composed of up to 25 questions. Define the add method
of the Quiz class to add a question to a quiz. Define the giveQuiz
method of the Quiz class to present each question in turn to the user,
accept an answer for each one, and keep track of the results. Define
a class called QuizTime with a main method that populates a quiz,
presents it, and prints the final results.
// Question.java Author: Lewis/Loftus/Cocking
// Represents a question (and its answer).
public class Question implements Complexity
private String question, answer;
private int complexityLevel;
// Sets up the question with a default complexity.
public Question (String query, String result)
question = query;
answer = result;
complexityLevel = 1;
// Sets the complexity level for this question.
public void setComplexity (int level)
complexityLevel = level;
// Returns the complexity level for this question.
public int getComplexity()
return complexityLevel;
// Returns the question.
public String getQuestion()
return question;
// Returns the answer to this question.
public String getAnswer()
return answer;
// Returns true if the candidate answer matches the answer.
public boolean answerCorrect (String candidateAnswer)
return answer.equals(candidateAnswer);
// Returns this question (and its answer) as a string.
public String toString()
return question + "\n" + answer;
}

Do you know why this lazy fart-ass is back? Because when he posted his homework last week, some sorry-assed idiot went and did it for him.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5244564&messageID=10008358#10008358
He didn't even thank the poster.
It's the same problem over and over again. You feed the bears and it only teaches them to come back for handouts.
My polite suggestion to the original poster: please do your own fucking homework.

Need help with creating a brush

Hi guys,
I wanted to ask for help with creating a brush (even a link to a tutorial will be goon enough ).
I got this sample:
I've created a brush from it, and i'm trying to get this kind of result:
but it's only duplicates it and gives me this result:
Can someone help me please understand what i need to define in order to make the brush behave like a continues brush instead of duplicate it?
Thank you very much
shlomit

what you need to do is make a brush that looks like the tip of a brush. photoshop has several already but you can make your own that will be better.
get a paintbrush and paint a spot kind of like what you did but dont paint a stroke. make it look kindof grungy. then make your brush from that, making sure to desaturate it and everything.
EDIT:
oh, and if you bring the fill down to like 10-20% your stroke will look better

Help with creating a form, I want to add a check box to enable me to unlock certain fields and deselect the block again

Look to the right under "More Like This". Your issue has been discussed many many times. The error you are seeing is because you do not have enough free "contiguous" space on your hard drive. Read the other threads that address this issue to find how to solve the issue.
Or, put "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved" into the search box at the upper right of this page.

I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

Hello
I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't find it. I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard. Any other ideas?

I need help with creating some formulas

I'm not sure if anyone around here can help me, but I'm trying to create a Numbers document and need some help with creating a formula/function.
I have a column of amounts and I would like to create a formula which deducts a percentage (11.9%) and puts the result in another column.
If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an example that shows one way to do this:
The original data is in column A. In column B we will store formulas to adjust the amounts:
1) select the cell where you want to formula (in this case cell B2)
2) Type the "=" (equal sign):
3) click cell A2:
4) now type the rest of the formula which is: "*(100-11.9)/100" that is asterisk, then open parenthesis, 100 minus eleven point nine close parenthesis forward slash one hundred
The Asterisk is the multiply operator (times) and the forward slash is the division operator (divide)
now hit return. select cell B2 and hover the cursor over the bottom edge of the cell:
drag the little yellow dot down to "fill" the formula down as needed.

I need help with setting up time machine for backup

I would like help with setting up time machine for backup.

You will need an external hard drive (formatted for a Mac).
Then you plug it in and go to system preferences>time machine and select the external HD and turn it on.
The backups are automatic.

Need help with creating a formula for percentages

I am creating a fillable form for subcontractors to submit change requests. One of the sections on the form is for materials. Most subs will charge a markup which is a small percentage of the actual cost. Obviously, both amounts are variables. I want the subs to be able to enter the material cost in field 1, the markup percentage in field two, and then have field three calculate the dollar amount for them. Is this possible? Btw, I'm clueless on this, it's my first attempt at an adobe form. Thanks!!!

A more standard way is to use something like the following as the third field's custom Calculate script:
// Custom calculate script
(function () {
    // Get the field values, as numbers
    var v1 = +getField("price").value;
    var v2 = +getField("markup_percentage").value;
    // Calculate the value of this field
    event.value = v1 * (1 + v2 / 100);
This is assuming that a percentage of 20% is entered by the user as 20, as opposed to 0.2 or something else. Change the field values to match the actual fields in your form.
If the markup field is blank or zero, the total will simply be the same as the price value.

Need Help with Java Space Invaders Game!

Hi, im new to these forums so forgive if i dont follow the right way on laying things out. Im trying to create space invaders game but im stuck when im trying to create multiple aliens/ invaders. I have a class called Aliens (which is the invaders), and i can create an instance of an Alien. But when I try to create multiple instances they are not showing up on screen. I am not getting any error message though (which im hoping is a good sign, lol).
GamePanel is where all the action is and Alien is the alien (invaders) class.

Create a Multiplayer game for Android/iOS using flash?

Hi guys,
We're creating a flash - turn based game for iphone and android using flash builider (flex) and actionscript 3. We've built the game and have a working Ai and are now trying to figure out how we can provide multiplayer support on iOS and Android.
As far as Im aware there are the following options:
- Serversocket (although apparently this doesnt work with mobiles.
- p2p with native air plugin (although I understand that this requires a database as well as the build of a front end connect to players)
- apparently there is a new way with html - whereby two players can exchange data over a website without the need for a server.
- Third party package like appwarp?
This is driving me crazy as I understand the principle - i.e. send data from one mobile to a database - database fires message to opposing player - updates state of game on both mobile and on the server.
All we want is a turn based game that sends a simple string of code with the moves between two devices. Is there any way of doing this for mobile (Android and ios) using flash and actionscript 3, or flash builder - without using a database?
Can anyone recommend a straight forward way to do this?
If not - Im actually thinking of taking the finished game to a company and asking them to host the servers and port the game to android and ios for a cut of the royalties. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for you help on advance,
T.

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for you kind response.
Do you know how to use air 3.8 to create multiplayer for iOS android? It's frustrating, it's a basic turn based game so all we really need is to send 1 line of code containing a move between two devices which then changes the graphics. I've done something like this before using a MySQL server.
I have a MySQL service on my hosting package for my domain, not sure whether I could use this?
As far as I'm aware theres now an option in HTML 5 to do thus kind of thing without a server and swap data directly through a web address.
Do you know roughly how much a small server costs to run?
We're basically trying to get this on ios, android and desktop mac and pc. We also want to launch it through steam nd allow people to play each other via the steam network. Do you know or know anyone that knows about this kind of stuff?
Thanks again, for your email. Where are you based?
Tom.

Need help with creating template. Changes are not going through to index.html page

Hi all,
I have an issue with my template that I am creating and also a question about creating template Regions (Repeating and Editable).
Somehow my changes to my index.dwt are not changing my index.html page.
Also my other question is: For my top navigation bar and left navigation bar links, do I need to select and define each individual button or link as Repeating/Editable Region? or can I just select the whole navigation bar (the one on the top) etc...
Below are my steps for creating my template...I am kinda fairly new to using DW and this is my first attempt to making a template following the DW tutorial CD that came with DW CS3.
I appreciate any help with this...regards, Dano
-Open my index.html file
-File/save as template
-Save
-update links - yes
-Select Repeating and Editable Regions (I selected the whole top navigation bar and selected Repeating Region and Editable Region, same with the left side navigation links)
-File close all
-Open the index.dwt
-Save as and selected the index.html and chose to overide it..
When I make changes to my index.dwt it is not changing the index.html
I feel that I am missing some important steps here.....
