How do I use the button states in an action script?

In my Captivate 8 project I use smart shape as buttons. The buttons have different images presented dependent on the state of the button. I have also created a simple action script that shows what happens when the button is pressed. When the button has been pressed the normal state of the button appear. I, however, want the down state of the button to remain visible util the user presses another button. How do I accomplish this? Is there variables for the buttons different state or how can I create that?
BR,
Madeleine

When you talk about 'actionscript' do you mean advanced or shared actions? You cannot write actionscript within Captivate, only Javascript. If you use advanced/shared actions they'll be converted on runtime to either Actionscript (for SWF output) or Javascript (for HTML5 output).
The states in shape buttons are the normal way buttons behave (not only in Flash). If you are indeed using shared/advanced actions, and you want the down state to remain until the next shape button is clicked, you'll have to go the way described by iFlashAppsToo. Create shapes that have the look of the down state, make them initially invisible and group all those shapes on one slide. Add two statements to the shared/advanced action (please do use shared actions, you'll save time):
Hide Group so that eventual down mimicked states on previously clicked buttons disappear
Show Im_Downx to show the down image for that button

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's
appearing and disappearing? What I want is when I push the button on
one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
push it again, that the second panel disappears.

You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
TRUE to show or
hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
the VI name.

How do I use the CASE statement in the where clause?

Hello Everyone,
I have 2 queries that do what I need to do but I am trying to learn how to use the CASE statement.
I have tried to combine these 2 into one query using a case statement but don't get the results I need.
Could use some help on how to use the case syntax to get the results needed.
thanks a lot

GROUP BY segment_name, product_type
ORDER BY product_typeNote: You cannor GROUP BY 1,2, you need to explicitly name the columns to group by.

How do I use the Session State to manage bind variables & download xml data

I have a Report Query with more than 30 queries; many have bind variables in them. I'd like to create sample xml so that I can develop my word templates. When I try to download the XML data Source for Layout, it doesn't ask for the bind variable values.
How can I download the XML data without replacing the bind variable values in each of the queries?
Thank you.

If you are using the Standalone version, then first of all make sure to UNCHECK (BIP10g 10.1.3.4.1)
"AUTO RUN" (it is under General Settings when you select your Report Definition)
Next, you should define the parameters in the corresponding parameter Section.
Its simplest form is of "Text" type so you will have to enter values at runtime.
Then these parameters can be used in your query as bind variables.
When you run the report it will prompt for parameter values. Enter these values
and you would get a sample of your XML data.
This should work and you should not find any issues.

Jorge

Using the Insert statement in a Java program without hardcoding the data

hello.
this is james mcfadden. i have developed a program called Demo.java, which is used with another program called QueryTableModel.java (a program that allows data to be viewed in a JTable). The Demo.java program displays a menu, connects to a database, allows the user to add data into the database and allows the user to view data that is already in the database. I have a problem with the Demo.java program. I have hardcoded the Insert statement in it. How do you use the Insert statement to put data into a database without hardcoding the data?

In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false.
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.

I use the United States store and I noticed that one of my favorite bands, Busted, has some songs I want but they are in the UK store. I tried to buy them but it said I couldn't. Is there anyway to get these songs?

*i can go into any country and purchace anything with an american credit card*
And you will pay and VAT/duty/customs that were levied on that item when it was brought into that country.
And you may have to pay VAT/duty/customs when you leave that country with that item.
Besides, certain items available in one country on one label, may be on a different label in another country.

I am using two cursors.One to fetch sites and the other to fetch participants under each site.I am performing some job with that participants data.Now the problem is i am using the 2nd cursor in a loop.So it fetches the data of participants falling under one state.But when it comes to the second state,as the second cursor is already open it is unable to fetch the records.Please help me .How can i use the same cursor in a loop fro multipletimes.
I am sending the code which i have written in When-Button-Pressed-Trigger...

How can i use one SQL statement to solve problem?

How can i use one SQL statement to solve the question below?
For a Table named A, there is a column named F(char type).
Now select all the records where F like '%00' and update their F value to '%01'
Just one SQL statement.Do not use PL/SQL block.
How to do that?
Thanks.

What is the data volume for this table?
Do you expect lots of rows to have '%00' as their value?
Following two statements come to mind. Other experts would be able to provide better alternatives:
If you have index on SUBSTR(f, 2):
UPDATE A
SET    f = SUBSTR(f,
                  1,
                  length(f) - 2) || '01'
WHERE substr(f,
              -2) = '00';If most of the rows have pattern '%00':
UPDATE A
SET    f = SUBSTR(f,
                  1,
                  length(f) - 2) ||
           DECODE(SUBSTR(f,
                         -2),
                  '00',
                  '01',
                  SUBSTR(f,
                         -2));

How can I use the built-in Isight camera with an external camera (usb/firewire) at the same time?

How can I use the built-in Isight camera and an external video camera at the same time?
I'm wanting to stream over Oovoo/Skype/etc. using 2 cameras.
Thanks

Simple question with a not so simple answer.
(a) If you mean that you want to run multiple apps simultaneously using a different camera with each app, you may encounter computing power limitations. Digital video is processor intensive. The only way to know if your Mac can do this it to try it. If the video does not work together but each app works when it it the only app running, you are likely overloading your Mac's ability to process and/or move all the required data in your data bus. You can get a better indication of whether this is the case by watching your Activity Monitor utility while running the apps you want to use.
(b) If you mean that you want to have more than one compatible camera connected to your Mac simultaneously for ease of changing between video sources, some, but not necessarily all, apps you are using to operate your camera(s) allow you to select between your cameras.
How you select among connected cameras depends on which application you are using. Here is how camera selection works in a few examples:
(1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
If you cannot see the "Camera" choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your cameras. In that case, consider the suggestions fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 for iSight problems or refer to your other camera's documentation for help.
This particular choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
(2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie6 HD uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, and because my external iSight was not connected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting an additional Mac compatible webcam should allow you to choose either camera.
Other iMovie versions work slightly differently.
iMovie 9 (from iLife '11) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
iMovie 8 (from iLife '09) is slightly different as explained in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
(3) Photo Booth in Snow Leopard 10.6.x and later uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.
Note for readers with older Mac OS X: The previous version of Photo Booth that came with Tiger (10.4.x) is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless your built-in iSight is already occupied as the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use an external camera.
(If you have an external Firewire camera connected, it may be used in preference to any USB webcam. If that is a problem for you, merely disconnect the problem Firewire device.)
(4) For FaceTime, launch the app and click the Video menu item.
If your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
(5) I do not use Skype oir Oovoo. For those or other apps, see Help for each app for info on how to select your desired camera.
