How to access Image Metadata with AS3?

An image, like a jpeg, has a bunch of metadata stored in it.
The "IPTC Core" metadata usually includes the photographers name,
address, title, description, etc.
Is there any way to access this information using AS3 so
that, say, captions for images in a flash gallery could be
generated automatically?

As far as I know this is not possible with AS3 directly, but
if you are interested you could check out the as3corelib at
http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/
They have some pretty nifty JPEG things going on there
(although I do not know if this includes metadata - but I hope
so).

How to access images in my localmachine without deploying them

Hi
I am trying to access images in my localmachine from an ADF Application (11.1.2.4). If the source of the images is an url address it works fine. However, if they are in my local machine I don't know how to make it work. I don't want to deploy them with the application. I want them to be referenced like:
file:///C:/images/bla/bla.jpg
I might be failing is something really silly. Apologies in advance.
Regards

You can only address images inside your web root directly. The application can't just reference your file system.
You can archive this using a servlet which you call via an url with parameters (e.g. the filename) and send the image from there (where you have access to the file system).

How to use tile map with AS3?

I have a file that contains a bunch of isometric tiles that I need to make a map with, much like a sprite sheet but not for making animations. So using AS3, how can I divide that file into the different tiles, knowing the coordinates of each of them. Or can it be done automatically in Flash itself, so I can access each tile from AS3?
Furthermore I've been a programmer for a couple of decades but I am new to Flash. I know there are a ton of DisplayObjects like Bitmap, Sprite, Shape, MovieClip, Symbol etc. But which one would be better to use for that file? I need to access it from AS3 as described above, but I don't need it to react to mouse events, stretch or have children, just extract each tile and move it onto the stage with AS3.
It seems to be down to a choice between Bitmap and Shape, since they're both lightweight, but I couldn't find out what the advantages and disadvantages of them are, as there was no comparison between those two on Google, though between a lot of the other objects. And Symbol seems like an idea too, since when I googled this, I found a lot of pages saying that you should convert a Bitmap to a Symbol, but I never found out why.
Oh, and since I'm building an isometric map, all the tiles and all other graphics I'll be using, will be Bitmap and not Vector since I'm drawing the graphics in pixelart.

create one tile symbol (movieclip or sprite so you can use actionscript to reference tile properties - like its x and y) and arrange them (using code or by hand) into your map.
enable the cacheAsBitmap property of your map (that has some number of tile children).
assign the mouseEnabled property of the map to false and its mouseChildren property to false.

How to Access Custom Event using AS3?

Hi All,
Maybe it's that its Monday morning and my brain is still foggy, but I can't seem to figure out how to set custom events using AS3.
I have a custom GridRow itemRenderer, and have declared the event using the appropriate metatags.
Then I create the GR item dynamically using AS3 instantiation, but the event is not available for selection in the intellisense drop-down.
Let's take the following as an example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Grid
     xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
     xmlns:renderers="com.brassworks.renderers.*"
     creationComplete="componentInit();"
>
     <mx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               private function componentInit():void
                    newRow     :MyRow     = new MyRow();
                    //newRow.myEvent is not an available option to set
          ]]>
     </mx:Script>
</mx:Grid>
Then the itemRenderer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GridRow
     xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
     xmlns:classes="com.brassworks.components.classes.*"
     creationComplete="componentInit();"
>
     <mx:Metadata>
          [Event(name="myEvent", type="flash.events.Event")]
     </mx:Metadata>
     <mx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               private function itemChanged(event:Event):void
               Alert.show("test");
               this.dispatchEvent(new Event("myEvent"));
          ]]>
     </mx:Script>
     <mx:GridItem>
          <mx:TextInput
               change="itemChanged"
          />
     </mx:GridItem>
</GridRow>
How do I go about setting the handler method for custom events on instantiated items? Do I need to do this via the AddEventListener() method? Does this mean that events aren't exposed in ActionScript like they are in MXML? (In MXML all I have to do is <MyRow myEvent="handler(event)" />.)
Thanks!
-Mike

Yes, I you need to do this via the addEventListener() method.
myRow.addEventListener( "myEvent", myHandler );
I hope that helps.

How to access images stored in database using forms

i have created a table which stores images in bfile type
i would like to access the images along with other data
stored in forms.iam not able to get the image using select statement.could anyone tell me the format using which i would be able to access the image.

in my impression, Oracle's samples store the BFILE images off line though if I did not remember wrong.
If you can create a form type form using form wizard based on that image table, then you may execute query to view the image. But SELECT ... INTO will not work for LOBs on form.
If off line in file system, you may try to READ_IMAGE_FILE().

Use Bridge. You can do them all at once with Batch Rename.

How to access time capsule with an old mac

I recently upgraded from an old 12" PowerBook G4 to one of the new MacBook Pros. I also purchased a Time Capsule, am using it as my wireless router, and have been making regular backups with Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had to send away my new MacBook because of an equipment failure even though I just got it three weeks ago (that's another story). So I'm back on my old PowerBook for the time being. I'd like to manually grab some files from the Time Capsule so I can pick up my work where I left off but I don't know how to access the Time Capsule with this PowerBook. It doesn't appear in my finder like it does on the MacBook. Can someone help me out? Thanks a lot!
Brendan

pretty sure you need at least 10.4 to use your TC as a HD

if you have 10.4, you would install this to gain access to yout TC:

How to access Oracle 10g with COBOL

Hi there,
I didn't find anywhere better to post this, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place.
I'm having major problems trying to find out how to access an Oracle 10g database with COBOL because I have no directions. I've never programmed anything that access a database before, and my first time must be in COBOL (wich is a language I started learning yesterday)
My teacher (who is not a nice person) gave us no directions at all, and when we ask her for it she is rude
"Do you know something called library? Or maybe, Google?"
So I am here, desparate, asking for anyone's help, for any diirections.. like
-How to access?
-Wich COBOL compiler to use? (free)
-Do I access the database with commands in COBOL? wich commands?
-Any tutorial around the web about this?
I have to deliver the full project in a month.. lol
Oh well...
thanks in advance!
Oscar

I do understand if she want us to be resourceful, but yes, she was tottaly irresponsible with us... but what is done is done.
Thanks alot for the information APC
I gave a quick look on the documentation you gave me and it is perfect, I now know how to connect to the database and somewaht use the commands.
But I looked for 2 more things and didn't find it, I'm sorry if I missed there
1) Do I need to instal anything? Something like a Pro*COBOL installer? I'm using Fujitso COBOL compiler, do I need to use other?
2) I looked at the commands on how to connect to the database but I don't understand something (again, sorry if I missed something)
LOGON.
MOVE "SCOTT" TO USERNAME-ARR.
MOVE 5 TO USERNAME-LEN.
MOVE "TIGER" TO PASSWD-ARR.
MOVE 5 TO PASSWD-LEN.
EXEC SQL
CONNECT :USERNAME IDENTIFIED BY :PASSWD
END-EXEC.
DISPLAY " ".
DISPLAY "CONNECTED TO ORACLE AS USER: ", USERNAME-ARR.
How does the CONNECT command know where to connect? I mean.. where do I put the adress of my Oracle Database?
That's all I could think about with this quick look, when I start implementing I will read the guide with all my attention.
Thanks again for the help

How to access Android Market with OS 2.0.0.7971

It is not obvious to me how to access the Android Market with the latest Playbook software update. Would someone please enlighten me?

There is no access to the full Android Marketplace, instead, developers repackage their android apps and submit them to Blackberry's App World. So to the end user, there is no difference between an android app and a true blackberry app.

How to access images files outside an ear file

I tried accessing images that are not part of the ear file which i deployed. And
which created on a fly during the execution of applicaiton. I get URL not found
error, can any one let me know if is there any way where in i could access the
files not part of deployed ear. I am uisnig Weblogic 6.1 Awaiting for a reply
ASAP.
Thanks
Anastasia

Generally, accessing files that are not within your
          war hierarchy is not allowed. Everything the webapp
          needs should be contained within the webapp.
          WebLogic does have an extension known as "virtual
          directories" which does allow you to access content
          outside the war. There is information on it at:
          http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/ConsoleHelp/war_webappext_virtualdirectorymapping_config.html

Hi,
First check whether the given object is supported by streams are not by querying DBA_STREAMS_UNSUPPORTED.
If it is supported then we can set the negative rule to avoide the problematic column.

How to name image sequences with the convention "name.[####].extention"?

Quicktime doesn't seem to respond to the naming convention used in other programs like After Effect or Combustion for naming image sequences when you are exporting the sequence. It does let you put a space before the sequential numbering but this is no good for using image sequences in Maya for example. During the save prompt if we were to save the image sequence as AppleMovie.[####].jpg in these programs we would yield an image sequence with AppleMovie.0001.jpg, AppleMovie.0002.jpg, AppleMovie.0003.jpg, etc. Anyone know if there is a way to do this as I've described?

Open ExtendScript Toolkit this can be found here:-
PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities
MAC: <hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities
Copy and paste the code into a new window and then save the code to:-
PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS#\Presets\Scripts
Mac:- [hard drive]/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS#/Presets/Scripts/
If photoshop was open, close and re-start it so that Photoshop can pick up the new script.
Now you can create an action to run the script and do your save so that this action can be batched.
To add the script to your action:
File - Scripts - select the script (this will add the new layer)

How to layer object created with as3

I have cartoonish looking sun rays that rotate in the
background. They are created and animated(rotated) with as3. My
problem is that I now want to place a layer in front of this
animation. Is it possible to assign the object to a layer so i can
place other layers on top of it. The script is rather long, but i
believe this is the pertinent part of it:
==============================
SunGlow.addChild(sun);
addChild(SunGlow);
SunGlow.x=stage.stageWidth/2;
SunGlow.y=stage.stageHeight/2;
========================================

Then you could create an empty movie clip container, on
stage, in the layer
you want and then addChild on it...
