How do I set and use a custom time zone?

We're developing a mixed HTML, javascript and Flex application.
In our HTML/Flex application, one of user's settings is the time zone he wishes to use. Since this can be different from the local time zone of the computer he happens to be using, we need to tell flex to interpret all dates as being in a foreign time zone e.g. force it to America/Los_Angeles.
I'm hoping there is a way to specify this in flex, so we don't have to do offset calculations on every single Date object. This would be very complicated, as I'm sure you know (and no, it is not simply UTC + x, where x is a constant, or x is an integer number of hours...)
Is there a way to do this in flex?

P.S: I've found these related things so far:
asTimeZone: The svn repository is 404, and there seems to be no activity, but looks interesting...
A reference to the system class, but I couldn't find anything interested in the system class.
A comment that player 10 should have something useful, but I didn't find any thing about it elsewhere.
But nothing was really helpful...

Oh, perhaps this isn't possible, according to Timezone Issues with remote (Date/Time) data and flash
But if you have knowledge of a way to do it, please let us know here.

How to Set and Use a global variable within a session?

Dear All,
I'm new to jsp, and would like to ask how to set and use a global variable within a session?
Thanks in advance.

With session.setAttribute("name",object) you can store a Attribute in the session object.
with session.getAttribute("name") you can get it.
That's it.

Hi Edward,
You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

How can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it

how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it. i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this. have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off? i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.

Which version of photoshop are you using?
After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns.

You cannot use USB. It has to be a network capable printer.. is it?? You did not indicate how it is connected.. but by wireless or ethernet then scanning is possible otherwise not.

Clarisworks, you need Appleworks, which will only work with Mac OS X10.6.8 or earlier. See this tip if you must go newer. Mac Pros with newer hardware configuration than July 20, 2011 can't use Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier without this tip and then it would be Mac OS X Server. I'm not sure if the new black Mac Pro supports that configuration or not.
iPhoto, there is an iPhoto for all versions of Mac OS X.
iTunes, there is an iTunes for all versions of Mac OS X. Note with iTunes versions 11 and later, which are needed for syncing with iOS 7 or or later, you will lose coverflow, if you liked that feature. Sadly you can't run an older version of iTunes from within Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
Sketchup: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/60107 shows the versions that will work with intermediate Mac OS X versions, and this shows the latest version: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/36208 be sure to click on the operating system you choose to use.
GIF - Viewing GIFs Apple's Preview can do that. Editing them, I like http://www.lemkesoft.com/ Graphicconverter.
DMG is able to be opened by all versions of Mac OS X. This are just "disk images" which store programs on a virtual disk that will open when double clicked. Frequently you'll find the installer of the said program inside. To find out if the program itself is compatible with 10.7 through 10.9, see http://www.roaringapps.com/

Re: How do you create and use "common" type classes?

Hi,
You have 2 potential solutions in your case :
1- Sub-class TextNullable class of Framework and add your methods in the
sub-class.
This is the way Domain class work. Only Nullable classes are sub-classable.
This is usefull for Data Dictionary.
The code will be located in any partition that uses or references the supplier
plan.
2- Put your add on code on a specific class and instanciate it in your user
classes (client or server).
You could also use interface for a better conception if needed. The code will
also be in any partition that uses or references the supplier plan where your
add on class is located.
If you don't want that code to be on each partition, you could use libraries :
configure as library the utility plan where is your add-on class.
You can find an example of the second case (using a QuickSort class,
GenericArray add-on) with the "QuickSort & List" sample on my personal site

I'm relatively new to forte and I'd like to know how can you handle utility
type classes that you want to use through out your application? Ideally
what I want is a static class with static methods.
Let's say that I have a StringUtil class that has a bunch of methods for
manipulating strings.
My problem is that we have code that runs on the client and code that runs
on the server. Both areas could use the StringUtil class, but from what I
understand, I have to create StringUtil in a plan and then create a server
object of type StringUtil. The server object will eventually get assigned
to a partition. That's not good since I really want the server object to
physically reside at the server end and at the client end. (Actually, I
don't want a server object, I just want to invoke a static method of a
static class).

Hi Richard,
Your question about "utility classes" brings up a number of issues, all of
which are important to long-term success with Forte.
There is no such thing as a static method (method that is associated with a
class but without an implicit object reference - this/self/me "pointer") in
TOOL, nor is there such thing as a global method (method not associated
with a class at all). This is in contrast to C++, which has both, and
Java, which has static methods, but not global classes. Frequently, Forte
developers will write code like this:
result, num : double;
// get initial value for num....
tmpDoubleData : DoubleData = new;
tmpDoubleData.DoubleValue = num;
result = tmpDoubleData.Sqrt().DoubleValue;
tmpDoubleData = NIL; // send a hint to the garbage collector
in places where a C++ programmer would write:
double result, num;
// get initial value for num....
result = Math::Sqrt(num);
or a Java programmer would write:
double result, num;
// get initial value for num....
result = Math.sqrt(num);
The result of this is that you end up allocating an extra object now and
then. In practice, this is not a big deal memory-wise. If you have a
server that is getting a lot of hits, or if you are doing some intense
processing, then you could pre-allocate and reuse the data object. Note
that optimization has its own issues, so you should start by allocating
only when you need the object.
If you are looking for a StringUtil class, then you will want to use an
instance of TextData or TextNullable. If you are looking to add methods,
you could subclass from TextNullable, and add methods. Note that you will
still have to instantiate an object and call methods on that object.
The next issue you raise is where the object resides. As long as you do
not have an anchored object, you will always have a copy of an object on a
partition. If you do not pass the object in a call to another partition,
the object never leaves. If you pass the object to another partition, then
the other partition will have its own copy of the object. This means that
the client and the server will have their own copies, which is the effect
you are looking for.
Some developers new to Forte will try to get around the lack of global
methods in TOOL by creating a user-visible service object and then calling
methods on it. If you have a general utility, like string handling, this
is a bad idea, since a service object can reside only on a single
partition.
Summary:
* You may find everything you want in TextData.
* Unless you anchor the object, the instance will reside where you
intuitively expect it.
* To patch over the lack of static methods in TOOL, simply allocate an
instance when required.
Feel free to email me if you have more questions on this.

When I send messages off-line, they enter in the addressed mailbox with the date and hour which I've clicked “Send later”. How could I set up to the real time?

What you say about Send Later timestamp is correct.
When you click Send or Send Later a time is set regardless of when you actually sent the Send Later email.
