How to create delay before tween or function in AS?

Hi there
I have a number of cases where I have a tween happening in ActionScript, but I would like it to happen after a delay from the event that triggers it. At the moment I'm creating this delay by having a tween that does nothing (eg. an "_x" tween for which the start and end points are the same) and then using tween1.onMotionFinished = function(){… to create the one I really want.
Is there a way to create this delay more neatly? At the moment what I am doing works fine, but it's still a workaround and if there's a better way to do it I'd like to learn. It'll probably help me out in the long term.
I'm using AS2 in CS3.
Thanks!

Try using setInterval

Put Delay Before 'return' in Function

When I create function that allow flash to detect object's velocity, a problem happen. I can't put delay before 'return' executed. It's cause result of function is null or 0. There's the script:
function SSvelocity(Target:Object,target_property:String,delay_ms:int=1000):Number
 if ((target_property!="x")&&(target_property!="y")&&(target_property!="z")&&(target_property!="rotation"))
 trace("ShortenScript: err(SSvelocity[1]): SSvelocity("+Target+","+target_property+","+delay_ms+")");
 trace(" SSvelocity(the_object,target_property,delay_millisecond)");
 trace(" position should filled with \"x\" or \"y\" or \"z\" or \"rotation\"");
 trace(" and don\'t forget about quotes(\")");
 DisplayError = true;
 return null;
 var detecta:Timer = new Timer(1000);
 var detectb:Timer = new Timer(1000);
 var resulta:Number;
 var resultb:Number;
 detecta.delay = delay_ms;
 detectb.delay = delay_ms;
 detecta.start();
 detecta.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, handlera);
 detectb.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, handlerb);
 function handlera(event:TimerEvent)
 detecta.stop();
 if (target_property == "x")
 resulta = Target.x;
 else if (target_property=="y")
 resulta = Target.y;
 else if (target_property=="z")
 resulta = Target.z;
 else if (target_property=="rotation")
 resulta = Target.rotation;
 detectb.start();
 function handlerb(event:TimerEvent)
 detectb.stop();
 if (target_property == "x")
 resultb = Target.x;
 else if (target_property=="y")
 resultb = Target.y;
 else if (target_property=="z")
 resultb = Target.z;
 else if (target_property=="rotation")
 resultb = Target.rotation;
 // I want put delay before return, because it's resulting NaN and often 0
 return (resultb-resulta);

I agree with Ned that you should rethink your approach. Objects A and B are your Information Experts (GRASP (object-oriented design) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) on the problem at hand, so they should be responsible for storing their own previous positions and calculating velocity.
Let's assume that it's possible for you to apply the same Base Class to both A and B. That Base Class might look something like this:
public class VelocityClip extends MovieClip {
 //each history will contain the past 10 values for that property
 protected var propertiesHistory:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
 //by adding or removing property names to this Array, you can change what properties are being tracked
 protected var trackedProperties:Array = ['x', 'y', 'rotation'];
 //capture values every 100 ms (10 times a sec)
 protected var timer:Timer = new Timer(100);
 public function VelocityClip() {
 super();
 for each (var property:String in trackedProperties) {
 //create a spot to store the history of each tracked property
 propertiesHistory[property] = new Vector.<Number>();
 timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, storeValues);
 timer.start();
 protected function storeValues(e:TimerEvent):void {
 for each (var property:String in properties) {
 var history:Vector.<Number> = propertiesHistory[property] as Vector<Number>;
 if (history.length > 9) {
 //stay at 10 total indices by removing first item
 history.shift();
 history.push(Number(this[property]));
 public function getVelocity(property:String):Number {
 var history:Vector.<Number> = propertiesHistory[property] as Vector<Number>;
 if (!history) return NaN;//no history for this property
 if (history.length < 10) return 0; //haven't been moving for a full sec.
 //history[9] was recorded sometime in the last 99 ms, and history[9] and history[0] are 1 sec apart
 //subject to the limitations of the Timer Class
 return history[9] - history[0];

Hi,
Go to snro
create an object say zabc
specify short text and long text and
number length domain say num10
then click number range interval at the top and specify starting and ending number.The number you want
for ex
from number 5700000000
to number 6799999999
make sure i should be no of digits in specify in previous .
Then you use this object i.e zabc where ever you want
for ex
 call function 'NUMBER_GET_NEXT'
 exporting
 nr_range_nr = '01'
 object = 'ZABC'
 quantity = '1'
 SUBOBJECT = ' '
 TOYEAR = '0000'
 IGNORE_BUFFER = ' '

How to create a generic datasource from function module?

Dear experts,
I have created a generic datasource from function module. For this extrator, I created a function module and a structure.
I have now some difficulties to continue:
In this function module, i get data from different transparent tables. Then i put these data into an internal table.
I just don't know what is the relatioin between the structure i defined and this internal table.
I should make "iTab structure AA" in the source code?
Thanks

Generic Extraction via Function Module
/people/siegfried.szameitat/blog/2005/09/29/generic-extraction-via-function-module
1. Create s structure with the fields that you need from the 4 tables . Activate.
2. Goto SE 80 Select The Function Group , Copy , Select the Function module
" RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE " and Give a New name starting With
Y or Z .
3. SE37 ->Your Function module name -> Change , In table tab give your structure
name by deleting the associated type given in " XXXX " .
4. Now select source code and Do the coding . Give Data source name in Coding .
In your case you have to take data from more that 1 table .
5. Activate the Function Group .
6. In RSO2 Create the Data source , Give the Function Module Name , And Save.
7. RSA3 -> Give data source name and Check for the Records .
Creation of custom datasource. (Using function module)
.Create a function group .
. Structure ZTXXXX
Create function module (i.e. ZTESTXXX) .
. Create the data source using transaction (RSO2).
. If structure exists for the table parameter of your function module then ok else create a structure for the table parameter .
Test the datasource in R/3 using transaction RSA3.
Transfer the data source to BW System and replicate it in the BW-System.

How to create a new request for function group?

Hi Friends,
My client has changed their development server. Now all the objects in old DEV server are transfered to new one. Except for function group objects, we have created new change request number for all others. Now I need to create a new request for function group objects. Can anyone suggest which transaction code I have to use for this purpose?
Thanks,
Kaarthick.V

Hi Karthick,
If you want to Change the request for your FG means,
1. Go to SE80 -> work bench -> Edit object.
Here you have the option two change the request.
or If you want to create the Function Group means,
Go to SE80 -> Select Function Group -> Enter name -> press Enter

How to create scripts that perform these functions?

Hi Apple people
I got Mach Desktop because I saw this screenshot:
But it turns out that you have to create scripts/Shell scripts yourself. Googled it, and all that shows up is their website with "sample" Desklets that are tiny grey windows with words in them.
So can somebody please tell me how to create the battery percentage script, the weather, & the date?
Thanks so much!

Battery Percentage:
pmset -g batt
Weather, replace the following POSTALCODE&u=f with your postal code in the example on Mach Desktop wed site. Hmm, if you want to know if it's raining of the President then:
curl --silent "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=20500" | \
grep -E '(Current Conditions:|F<BR)' | \
sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/ //' -e 's///' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/ //' -e 's/<description>//' -e 's/<\/description>//'
The date is very easy:

How to create a dynamic multi-line function in SQL Server

>> Unfortunately I really need to form a dynamic query in a table valued function on the SQL SERVER. I have another tabled valued function that needs something returned as a table in order to further join the data. I am not allowed to use Stored
Procedures in that function. <<
You do know that real SQL programmers hate the proprietary nightmare of tabled valued functions? This is how you procedural programmers avoid learning set-oriented declarative and functional programming.
Your mindset wants to write to a scratch tape or disk file (aka “tabled valued function result table”) just like you did BASIC, FORTRAN or COBOL. QL programmers do not have to materialize their data. We can use VIEW or a drive table as well as a base table.
>> Plus, there are occasions where I don't want to pass in a field [sic: columns are not fields] parameter or need to change a parameter list such that I don't wish the table function to filter by a particular field [sic] or other setting. <<
What you want is a magical “Automobiles, Squids and Lady Gaga” function. An SQL programmer might write a complex VIEW then do simpler SELECTs off it.
>> My application pushes the WHERE clause from EXCEL to SQL to do the hard work as EXCEL is not the application in which I want to process the SQL statement and pass it via ODBC. I cannot run macros in Excel on the web.<<
This is a crazy language system. Usually we fetch data in SQL and then pass it to a math package, report writer, etc. We never keep logic (aka WHERE clauses) outside the database.
>> I am bummed about the fact that this feature doesn't work. It will up my server management costs to maintain unique tabular based functions based on WHERE clause query <<
So stop writing those “tabular based functions”, change your mindset and start learning SQL and do it right.

How to create an app with this function?

Hi, people. Total beginner here.
How can I create an application that auto-generates instantly downloadable PDF files with contents based on whatever the user chooses to click on or type on the front-end interface. I saw such Flash app before on a Facebook Page so I kinda believe it's possible.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

you can try using an actionscript class like purePDF (http://www.sephiroth.it/weblog/archives/2010/02/purepdf_a_complete_actionscript_pdf_l.php) or use server-side code like fpdf (www.fpdf.org).

Creating delay before navigating to another page

All,
i am trying to create a popup with loading image on a page such that if you load this page the "loading... image in small div is displayed like for few 2-3 seconds then the page automatically navigates to another page and pass one parameter value.
here is what i did:
1. added a popup div in my page header and within iam referencig <img src=#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#loading.gif /> this works correct when the pages loads
2. created DA to submit the "NEXT" button,
the problem is that #2 is firing so fast before the iamge is loaded or seen,
so how to make changes so #1 runs for 2-3 secs then #2 executes to go to target page ?
apex 4.2,
thanks.

Hi,
I use the jQuery plugin called blockUI (jQuery BlockUI Plugin)
It basically blocks and darkens the screen (and shows a "loading" animated gif) while the next page is loaded and prevent users from accidentally double-clicking any buttons.
Or from further interacting with the page when they shouldn't be,
eg the IE progress bar is located at the bottom of the page and not plainly visible.
The other benefit is that it actually informs the user than something is happening, rather than staring at a "stuck" screen.
Hope this helps.

HOW TO CREATE A GLOBAL USER DEFINED FUNCTION

Hi Expert,
I'd like to know if there is a way to globalize a user defined function?
I'd like to reuse a user defined function (e. g. DeleteLeadingCharacter) in several scenario/SWC instead of recreated it from scratch everytime - Is it possible?
Thanks

NO you cannot not reuse one UDF not even in other namespace even in the same namespace in diff Mapping programme.
UDF is liminted to GraphicalMappingProgramme that you created you cannot reuse it in other MappingProgrammes.
Like your MM =A has function getMyName
you can use it in MM=A but if you want to use it in MM=B then u cannot.
So its not possible in XI or PI.
But it is possible in new release PI 7.1. That says you can write UDF and can reuse in any MM programme.
Thanks

How to create a motion tween?? :S

Hii
I know it is very easy. Right click>create motion tween>drag to where I would like the text/object to move
BUT
Sometimes it doesn't seem to work when i drag the text. It will work the first time and for the second text on the frame it won't work. I don't why .....any help???
Can someone tell me the requirements of a motion tween when it comes to text on a single layer in the same frame.
Thanks

You can only tween one object in a layer, so if you are trying to tween more than one it will break the tween. Keep your different textfields on different layers.

How to create textpool by using standard function module?

hi,
gurus.
I have find two function modules ( RS_TEXTPOOL_READ / BX_AGR_READ_TEXTPOOL ) which is used to read but i want to write into the textpool is there any standard function module

REPORT ZTEST1.
WRITE : / 'ddddddd'.
WRITE : / 'ddddddd'.
WRITE: / 'hhhhhhh'.
WRITE: / 'ddddddd'.
WRITE: / 'ddddddd' , 'uuuuuuuu'.
WRITE: / 'ddddddd', 'sssssssss'.
for example i am this report i want to convert it into text elements like
REPORT ZTEST1.
WRITE : / 'text-001'.
WRITE : / 'text-001'.
WRITE: / 'text-002''.
WRITE: / 'text-001''.
WRITE: / 'text-001'' , 'text-003''.
WRITE: / 'text-001'', 'text-004'.
this elements also store into the textpool so how can we achieve this functionality by using standard function module.
can any body give some idea .
