How do I call a function using local connection?

I have 3 Flash banners on 1 page that run through a synched animation together. At the end of the animation, there is a replay button in each of the 3 banners. I want the replay button when clicked in any of the banners to call a replay function in all 3 banners. Is there any easy way to do this? Using localconnection?
The banners are already using a local connection for the syching of the animation, if that helps.
Thanks!
Elliott

I take it back... I figured it out. I just needed to paste the function below into each of the other banners...
Thanks! :-P

How to access Call Back Functions using *.dll in the Labview?

Hai,
I am Pavan Ram Kumar Somu.
I am new to Labview, currently I am working on MVB Interface.
I need to access the API functions from *.dll file in Labview, as of now , I am doing this with Call function Library node in Labview but it does not support the following data types like
    1. Pointer Arguments(To which memory it points in Labview)
    2. function pointers Arguments
    3 .pointers in structures and pointer structures in structures and many other data types.
Please Answer the below queries also:
1. How to pass pointer arguments to API functions in DLL and how to collect pointer
    return types from API functions in DLL
2. How to pass structure arguments to API functions in DLL and how to collect structure
    return types from API functions in DLL
3. How to use callback functions(nothing but function pointers) in Labview and how to
    collect callback fuctions return types from API functions in DLL
I need your help while passing these datatypes to API functions in DLL from labview.
Suggest me if there is any other alternative for implementing this task.
I am referencing some examples here:
Examples:
I)
Unsigned short int gf_open_device(void *p_device_config, unsigned long int client_life_sign_timeout, unsigned short int *device_error)
void *p_device_config: How to access/pass these arguments in LabView and to which memory location it points in LabView.
II) #include <windows.h>
     #include <process.h>
     HANDLE rcvEvent0, rcvEvent1;
/* Function call*/
CanGetReceiveEvent(handle[0], &rcvEvent0);
Above is a piece of C code, Now I want to use HANDLE datatype which is windows based, how to use these type in the LABVIEW.
With regards

Search the forum (forums.ni.com) for callback, pointer or handle, and you'll find that it is all possible, but not very easy.

How do you call a function within a package using OCI in C

I am trying to call a user-defined function in Oracle 8.1.7 using OCI in C. I am getting a ORA-06550 PLS-00221, <function name> is not a procedure or is undefined. Can anyone tell me how I would call a function using OCI?
Thanks.

I think I figured it out, but I am now getting a ORA-06512 error; numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.

Can I call a function using array index?

I've defined an array which stores the function name, like this:
var aresetButtonTop:Array = new Array(resetTop1,resetTop2,resetTop3,resetTop4,resetTop5);
Then I have a button named"btnresetTop" which when clicked will call one of the five functions stored in the above array(aresetButtonTop). The functions are called at run-time depending upon some conditions. I need to figure out how I can call those functions using the array index. I'm using the following code to call the function. The value of i has been already calculated.
btnresetTop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aresetButtonTop[i]);
After doing this I'm getting the following error when I click the button:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter listener must be non-null.
    at flash.events::EventDispatcher/addEventListener()
    at gallerytest_fla::MainTimeline/thumbTopClick()
Note: thumbTopClick() is a function inside which all these codes are written.
I need to find out whether it is posible in AS3 to call a function name using the array index or not. If yes, could you pleas ehelp me out.

Thanx Andrei1, you were right, i was out of range.The value of i will obviously expire outside the for loop. Now I have corrected my mistake by assigning the value of i to a variable index inside the for loop and then use the following code:
btnresetTop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aresetButtonTop[index])
It was a silly mistake but I was not able to figure it out for the last 2 hours. Thanks once again for your help

u r calling lightParse method without passing the expected "String" argument. There must not be an overloaded method for lightParse without any arguments.
So u should use this:

How do you call a function in an attached MovieClip from the current MovieClip?

Hi there,
I have this MovieClip A (converted as a symbol) and put in my
main MovieClip B using attachMovie() , and I am wondering how I can
call a function defined in A from within B.
Is it possible?
Thanks

Hi kglad,
yes, I did the attachMovie of the symbol B and it seems like
none of the ActionScript written in B was not carried over.
This is how I built B into a symbol :
(1) Two layers ( one for the ActionScript only, the other for
the Components)
(2) I defined the functions to be called remotely by A in the
ActionScript layer
(3) I selected all the components in the Components Layer and
did a Convert To Symbol
(4) I added the Symbol into A's Library
(5) I used attachMovie to instantiate the Symbol of B
I must have missed out something somewhere
Thanks

Hi,
Why do you want to use LDAP for Hard disk monitoring..???
U can do this by creating a MD5 checksum for all the files existing in some
perticular
directory and every hour or any configurable period u can recalculate the
checksum
to find out the change in the content.
I guess all u need is to get the code for "updatedb" utility of Linux and
instrument it for ur needs..
Hope it helps...

How can I create a function using TestStand variables and call it from a step's Pre-Expression?

In one sequence I have dozens of Pre-Expressions which are almost the same thing, like this...
Locals.tagID = (Parameters.singlePhaseEnabled ? "L" : "D") & Str(Locals.phase) & "006"
...and the only thing different is that three digit string at the end ("006" will vary). How can I write a function that I can call from a step's Pre-Expression so it would look something like this? ...
Locals.tagID = MyNewFunction("006")

You cannot write custom commands for expressions.
That being said, there are a couple of options:
Create a subsequence with a single step. Use a parameter of the sequence as "function parameter".
Create a custom step type including a substep module which implements the function. Add an edit substep to enable the user of the steptype to gracefully change the parameter.
Store the variable parameter in a local/file global variable and modify the value in each step. This will, at least, keep the "function" the same for every step.

How to implement a callback function using LabView's Call Library Function Node?

I am trying to call a fuction from a SDK.dll library using the Call Library Function Node. The SDK was provided to
me and I do not have the source code, just the .dll and .h files.
The SdkSetPropertyEventHandler function has a callback fuction as one of its parameters. How do I implement the
callback using the CLF node? I am a good LabView programmer but this is my first time using the Call Library
Function Node. I have read all the info I can find on NI's web site and the discussion board but cannot figure
this one out. I am using LabView 8.6.
The SDK.h deacribes the function as:
// Function:   SdkSetPropertyEventHandler
SdkError SDKAPI SdkSetPropertyEventHandler(
            SdkCameraRef                    inCameraRef,
            SdkPropertyEvent                inEvnet,
            SdkPropertyEventHandler         inPropertyEventHandler,
            SdkVoid*                        inContext );
// Description:
//       Registers a callback function for receiving status
//          change notification events for property states on a camera.
// Parameters:
//       In:    inCameraRef - Designate the camera object.
//              inEvent - Designate one or all events to be supplemented.
//              inPropertyEventHandler - Designate the pointer to the callback
//                      function for receiving property-related camera events.
//              inContext - Designate application information to be passed by
//                      means of the callback function. Any data needed for
//                      your application can be passed.
//      Out:    None
// Returns:    Any of the sdk errors.
A separate header file called SDKTypes.h contains the following data:
typedef SdkUInt32 SdkPropertyEvent;
typedef SdkUInt32 SdkPropertyID;
typedef void       SdkVoid;
typedef struct __SdkObject*    SdkBaseRef;
typedef SdkBaseRef    SdkCameraRef;
SdkPropertyEventHandler
typedef SdkError ( SDKCALLBACK *SdkPropertyEventHandler )(
                    SdkPropertyEvent        inEvent,
                    SdkPropertyID           inPropertyID,
                    SdkUInt32               inParam,
                    SdkVoid *               inContext );

Basically you do not do that. LabVIEW does not know pointers and certainly not function pointers. What you should do instead is writing a C DLL that implements the callback and also exports a function to be called by LabVIEW that translates between the callback and a LabVIEW user event. Look for PostLVUserEvent() here on the NI site to find examples how to do that.

How do you call a function that belongs in a package?

Hello,
Can anyone help me with this issue? My intent is to create a procedure that returns a cursor to the results of the query without passing in the cursor to the function. After reading thru online tutorials, I found that I had to create a function, not a procedure.
I created a .sql file as such:
create or replace package GetEmployeeCursors is
type empResultSet is REF CURSOR;
function Funct1 return empResultSet;
end GetEmployeeCursors;
create or replace package body GetEmployeeCursors is function Funct1 return
empResultSet is
tmpResultSet empResultSet;
begin
open tmpResultSet for
select * from employee;
return tmpResultSet;
end Funct1;
end GetEmployeeCursors;
Both the package and package body were created without any problems.
Then, I tried to call the Funct1() in many ways, including the following:
call System.getEmployeeCursors.Funct1()
call getEmployeeCursors.Funct1()
call Funct1()
All produced the following error message:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06576: not a valid function or procedure name
How do I call Funct1()?
Thanks so much in advance,
--Anna

Hello Frank,
Thanks for the information regarding not using the system schema when creating packages.
I tried what you suggested to call the Funct1 in many ways:
SQL> mycursor := system.getEmployeeCursors.funct1;
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "mycursor :..." - rest of line ignored.
SQL> mycursor := getEmployeeCursors.funct1;
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "mycursor :..." - rest of line ignored.
SQL> mycursor := funct1;
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "mycursor :..." - rest of line ignored.
SQL> select *
2 from table(system.getEmployeeCursors.funct1);
from table(system.getEmployeeCursors.funct1)
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item
Could there be something else I need to do before making the function call?
Thanks alot!

thank you in advance.

There are two ways to call a function from within an ItemRenderer. One way is to dispatch an event from your ItemRenderer and listen for the event in your main application. This approach has the advantage of creating loosely coupled code which is eaiser to maintain and extend if needed, but it takes a bit more work to set things up than using the second aproach lised below. You could also create a custom event to have greater control over what data is sent with the event.
private function callOuter():void {
     this.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent());
The other approach is to call the main application by using parentDocument.
private function callOuter():void {
     parentDocument.handleItemRenderer();

This forum section here is about Small Basic programing language!
I dunno Python, but the few droplets I've heard about is that Python is very strict about global variables!
And that every time we need to assign values to them, we gotta declare it w/
global keyword inside each function that needs it:
def ask_player():
global counter
while counter != "counter 1" or "counter 2":
counter = input("Do you wish to move counter 1 or counter 2?")
return counter

How do i call a function in a library package in a form 6i ?

Hi guys can any help me ?
This is the decalred part of my function in the package specification named SECURITY_NEW:
==================================================
FUNCTION LOGON_AUTH ( P_user_id IN users_codes.USE_ID%TYPE,
P_password IN users_codes.use_pass%TYPE,
P_allow OUT BOOLEAN )
RETURN BOOLEAN;
i called it in a form like that:
====================
SECURITY_NEW.LOGON_AUTH ( V_USER_ID ,
V_PASSWORD ,
V_EXIST );
This gives me error LOGON_AUTH is not a procedure or is undefined
can any help me in calling the function..?
Thanks in advance..
Abdetu.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

oh, overseen the other problem:
PL/SQL variables can be accessed like this
V_VALUE := 'TEST';
if V_VALUE = 'TEST' then
the parameters of the procedure/function can also be accessed like this (note: don't forget the restrictions of IN/OUT/IN OUT)
global variables, forms-parameters, items can be accessed via copy, name_in and default_value
e.g.:
default_value('TEST', 'global.testvariable')
initializing :global.testvariable with 'TEST' if it is not initialized; if :global.testvriable has already a value, this will not set the value of the variable
to set the global variable, you use the copy just like the default_value built in:
copy('TEST2', 'global.testvariable')
if you apply now another default_value call, this call results in no change of the variable:
default_value('TEST', 'global.testvariable')
the variable :global.testvariable is still at the value 'TEST2'
to access it, you use the name_in built in:
if name_in('global.testvariable') = 'TEST2' then
this also works for forms-parameters and items:
name_in('parameter.test')
or
name_in('block3.item4');
so in your case, it seems that you are trying to assign an IN variable...that's not possible.
e.g.:
procedure testproc(ibBoolValue in boolean) is
begin
ibBoolValue := false;
end;
=> this is resulting in an error, as you try to assign a value to an in-parameter...
procedure testproc(obBooleanValue out boolean) is
begin
obBoolValue := false;
end;
=> this works; but as this is an out-parameter calls like:
testproc(true); will not work, as "false" cannot be used as an assigment target...
try this:
declare
bBool boolean;
begin
bBool := true;
testproc(bBool);
end;
=> this will work, but as it is an out parameter, the boolean value will be set to null when entering the procedure, and after the procedure bBool will be false.
last case IN OUT:
procedure testproc(iobBooleanValue in out boolean) is
begin
iobBooleanValue := nvl(iobBooleanValue, false);
if iobBooleanValue then
iobBooleanValue := false:
else
iobBooleanValue := true;
end;
when calling like this:
declare
bBoolVal boolean;
begin
bBoolVal := false;
testproc(bBoolVal);
end;
bBoolVal will be true after the call of testproc and vice versa when bBoolValue is true
also like in the OUT parameter Sample, calls like:
testproc(true);
will result in a compile-error, as "true" is also no target...
so everything shortly:
if you want to access forms-parameters, globals or items, use copy, name_in, default_value (as in librarys :block3.item4 := 'asdf'; will result in an error)
if you want to access variables it's just straight like in forms-packages...
Just take a look at the Online-Help; this is all well-documented.
regards
Christian

How do I call a function from another file?

In MainView.m I have one function -(void)goTell;
I want to be able to call the function from SecondView.m. How do I do this?
I have declared the function in the MainView.h and added #include MainView.h to SecondView.m, but it still doesn't work.
This code crashes my program (for some reason this board takes away my brackets... assume the code is written correctly):
[[MainView alloc] init];
MainView *myMainView;
[myMainView goTell];
By the way... goTell has nothing in it. It's just a blank function for testing purposes.
Ethan

BTW - Wrap your code like this in posts tags so it stay readable.
put code here
Your code needs to be:
MainView *myMainView = [[MainView alloc] init];
[MyMainView goTell];
