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...

How to delete objects created with new

Hello,
I am having a problem creating a behavior or script to delete new sprites created in channels. I have a behavior script that creates new sprites using the following (simplified) script:
First, a Beginsprite creates a gChannel_list and assigns a beginning gChannel value. pSprite is used to establish the sprite that in the mousedown is clickon.
on Beginsprite me
gChannel_List =[]
gChannel = 70
pSprite = sprite(Spritenum)
end
In the mousedown the gChannel is incremented and the newly created channel is added to the gChannel_list.
on Mousedown me
gChannel = gChannel + 1
theChannel = addat(gChannel_List,gChannel)
themember = pSprite.member
channel(gChannel).makeScriptedSprite(themember, point(80,160))
sprite(gChannel).width = thememberW
sprite(gChannel).height = thememberH
sprite(gChannel).rotation = theMemberR
sprite(gChannel).moveablesprite = 1
sprite(gChannel).ink = 36
etc
After creation of several sprites based on the the gChannel, the following globals, for example, are returned.
-- Global Variables --
gChannel_List = [71,72,73,74]
gChannel = 74
My problem is that I am unable to delete these created gchannel sprites with a lingo command. Deleting them from the list, for example, using deletat(gChannel,1), does nothing to remove them from the stage (they do disappear from the list). And while I can display their attributes such as width [n=getat(gChannel_list, x); put sprite(n).width], nothing seems to relate to deleting these gchannel sprites.
How is it done?
Hope this is enough information. If not, please let me know. I can provide whatever you might need. Please help.
Rod

Sean,
DUH! Didn't even know that a 'removeScriptedSprite()' command existed! Very logical. It works perfectly. Thanks again so very much.

To load a object created with 3D Studio Max

Hello,
I am a new Java user. I have to realize an interactive presentation in Java of a three-dimensional object created with 3D Studio Max. I would like to know how I can load this object in my java project.
I should, in fact, allow the customer to modify the color of the object and to rotate it.
Many thanks
Massimo

Well, my first reccomendation is to look into Java 3D. I don't know anything about it myself, but it's the obvious place to look.

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 identify objects created by registering xml schema

Hi Everyone,
We are using Oracle 9i Rel2. I have registered an XML schema and I saw that there were several objects created for it table ,some types and a trigger . For some build purposes I want to exclude all of these objects which are associated with xml schema and should be able to drop and recreate the whole of oracle schema.
I see the user_types table does not have any parameter to indicate that these are autogenerated or are different. In user_types they look like any other type that a user would have created. Do any of you know how to differentiate these types created by registering XML schemas from the normal types.
Thanks for your help

There is no way I know of to differentiate between a type created by Schema Registration and another Type. You can query the XML Schema itslef to get the Typenames it relies on.

How to fix tables created with wrong initial extents

1.We have many tables which are created with very large intial extents. Is there a way to reduce or resize initial extent?
2.When I export the *.dmp is about 200MG, but the tablespace is more than a gig full. Why is that?
3.I have a table with about 300,000 rows and calculated the table size to be around 86M. Should I create the initial extent here to be around 100M?
4.I tried to do alter table ExampleTable deallocate unused, but did not help why is that?

Thank you,
Avanti.

1.We have many tables which are created with very large intial extents. Is there a way to reduce or resize initial extent?
export/import and CTAS.
2.When I export the *.dmp is about 200MG, but the tablespace is more than a gig full. Why is that?
Probably it is due of inefficient on managing the objects, which are heavily taken by tables/indexes. Tables/indexes were created oversize than estimation of data size.
3.I have a table with about 300,000 rows and calculated the table size to be around 86M. Should I create the initial extent here to be around 100M?
Yes, it is possible. Usually split into 2-5 extents is better.
4.I tried to do alter table ExampleTable deallocate unused, but did not help why is that?
OBJECT_NAME = EMP
TOTAL_BLOCKS = 16296

The next paragraph is guoted from Oracle documentation :
"Use the deallocate_unused_clause to explicitly deallocate unused space at the end of the table, partition or subpartition, overflow data segment, LOB data segment, or LOB index and makes the space available for other segments in the tablespace. You can free only unused space above the high water mark (that is, the point beyond which database blocks have not yet been formatted to receive data)".
Most probably on your case there is no unused block over the last used block on this table. So the deallocate function doesn't give any effect. As you described, the last used block is 11381 which is get from TOTAL_BLOCKS minus UNUSED_BLOCKS.

How To Upload Object Dependency with Long Source Code

Hi Everyone,
I use LSMW (IDoc:KNOMAS) to upload the Object Dependency with T-Code CU01. However I can not upload the formula/source code within more than 72 characters due to the maximum size of the source code field in dependency editor is 72 characters.
Is there anyone that have the same problem and know the solution? Or is there any advice / tips how to upload the Object Dependency that have long source code?
Any comments is appreciated. Thank you before hand.

Hi Mika Permana,
Same Problem am also getting when i was trying to upload more than one object dependency syntax's on CU01,
After that i came to know we can restrict that all those things before 72 character's and we can add all those things to the next line in notepad,
For Example,
Header 1
$SELF.Z_PRICE_HDC= 'HDC30' IF TURNAROUND = 'TAT5' AND NDF_COLOR1 = '4/4'
AND NDF_COLOR1 = '4/4'
Here We cant upload the object dependencies through to excel file,because KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT and ALSMEX_TABLINE function module having 'Value' field ,its length is 50 only,
so it cant allow after 50th word. so i preferred to use notepad!!!
the following code is for your reference.
LOOP AT i_index WHERE knnam_001 = it_mmtab-knnam_001.
       l_count = l_count + 1.
       CONCATENATE 'RSTXP-TDLINE(' l_count ')' INTO var1.
       PERFORM bdc_field       USING var1                               " 'RSTXP-TDLINE(01)'           " syntax
                                i_index-tdline_01_006.
       IF l_count > 15.
         MESSAGE 'LINE ITEM EXCEEDED > 15 ' TYPE 'E'.
       ENDIF.
     ENDLOOP.

Can I (and how) convert a VI created with LV 7 in LV 5?

I received two VI files created with Labview 7.0, one is VI 7.0, the other LV 6.1. My problem is that I only have LabView 5.0 installed (and no possibility of having the 7.0 release), and it doesn't open them (I get the "Error code: 8", message). Is there any possibility to convert these files to render them compatible with the LV 5.0 version? The VI is pretty complex and I'd like to avoid the struggle of recreating it from scratch.

Your best bet is to zip the vi and post them here, if you can. Otherwise you will have to find someone with the various versions of LabVIEW as each version will only save to the previous. Additionally, there have been a few (a lot!) of features added that won't translate backwards, so if any of the vi's contains them they will be broken.

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).

Need to get rid of persistent images created with as3 - pls help

I have used the following as3 code, courtesy of Jody Hall at theflashconnection.com . It's a drag and drop that works great. Problem is the drag and drop images persist when I move on to other frames. How do I clear the images when finished so they don't appear in subsequent frames? Thank you in advance.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
var sndExplode:explode_sound;
var sndExplodeChannel:SoundChannel;
var dragArray:Array = [host1, agent1, physical1, social1, host2, agent2, physical2, social2, host3, agent3, physical3, social3];
var matchArray:Array = [targethost1, targetagent1, targetphysical1, targetsocial1, targethost2, targetagent2, targetphysical2, targetsocial2, targethost3, targetagent3, targetphysical3, targetsocial3];
var currentClip:MovieClip;
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
for(var i:int = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++) {
 dragArray[i].buttonMode = true;
 dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
 matchArray[i].alpha = 0.2;
function item_onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
 currentClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
 startX = currentClip.x;
 startY = currentClip.y;
 addChild(currentClip); //bring to the front
 currentClip.startDrag();
 stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stage_onMouseUp);
function stage_onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
 stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stage_onMouseUp);
 currentClip.stopDrag();
 var index:int = dragArray.indexOf(currentClip);
 var matchClip:MovieClip = MovieClip(matchArray[index]);
 if(matchClip.hitTestPoint(currentClip.x, currentClip.y, true)) {
 //a match was made! position the clip on the matching clip:
 currentClip.x = matchClip.x;
 currentClip.y = matchClip.y;
 //make it not draggable anymore:
 currentClip.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
 currentClip.buttonMode = false;
 sndExplode=new explode_sound();
 sndExplodeChannel=sndExplode.play();
 } else {
 //match was not made, so send the clip back where it started:
 currentClip.x = startX;
 currentClip.y = startY;
DRAG AND DROP (I JUST DID THE LAST FOUR FOR THIS EXAMPLE)
MOVING ON TO NEXT FRAME, YOU STILL SEE THE RECTANGLES.

Thank you SO muchNed Murphy
I'm a newbie to AS3 and I was trying to figure it out for past 2 weeks that why did swapChildren or setChildIndex or addChild, all of these made my Target Movieclip remain/duplicate/persist on the stage even after the layer containing the Target Movieclip has blank keyframes. I surfed so many forums and tutorials for the answer but turns out it was my lack of knowledge of basic concepts. I remember checking out this specific forum as well past week but due to it being "Not Answered" I skipped it. This should be marked as a "Correct Answer", The Empty MovieClip did the trick!
I needed this solution for a Drag and Drop game, so that the current item that is being dragged is above all other graphic layers. And when all items are dropped on their correct targets, there is gotoAndPlay to Success frame label.
I created a movieclip on the top layer with the same dimensions as the stage and put it at x=0 y=0 position. Instance name: emptymc
And deleted the emptymc from the timeline during the Success frame label.
Here is some code I used,
1. MovieClip.prototype.bringToFront = function():void {
 emptymc.addChild(this);
2. function startDragging(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.currentTarget.startDrag();
event.currentTarget.bringToFront();
I didn't know how to put the addChild and refer to the currentTarget in the startDragging function itself, for example
emptymc.addChild(event.currentTarget);
- This one didn't work inside the startDragging function "emptymc.addChild(this); "
Is there a correct way I could have done it properly?
Thanks,
Dipak.

How is an object created in a workflow ?

Hello,
When i create a task and assign an organizational business object to it along with a method. When the workflow is activated then it will call this method, but who will create the object and who will fill up the initial attributes of the object. As an example:
if my organizational business object is called CAR, and it has an attribute caller COLOR, and a methif called get_Color. Then when i start my workflow, it will call the method get_color, but will it first create the CAR object ?
-Can someone point out how the workflow works ?
-Onemore question, do you know a good resource on how to create Organizational business objects
thanks
points are rewarded.

It is not clear my your message if you want to create a new instance of an object (i.e. a new car) or if you want to create an instance of an existing car.
If you want to create a new car, you need to see if there is a method CREATE for this object and if a task already exists for this method. If no tasks exists, then you need to create one.
My guess is that you want to create an instance of an existing car (i.e. you want car number 1234 and exectue method get_color). You will use object SYSTEM, method GENERICINSTANTIATE to accomplish this. The easiest way to do this is by using workflow wizards. Under the workflow wizards "others" folder, select wizard "Include 'Create Object reference'". It will create a background task that will create an object instance. All you need to do is bind the object key to the task and you are all set.

Looking for BOM and Routing objects created with a BAPI

(I ran this one up the flagpole in the data forum and didn't get any responses. Maybe someone here has see this phenomon?)
I'm invoking BAPI_MATERIAL_BOM_GROUP_CREATE from an external Java program. I believe my code matches the example I find here and in the SAP documentation (transaction BAPI). When it finishes, I get a successful return (type=I, number=000), and a message of "BOMGroup 00000070/TAM1/1 has been created. External reference:" But I can't find anything back on the SAPGUI - the material number still says it has no BOM (on CS02); I don't see any new BOM Groups (on CS06). By the way, the "00000070" number seems to be assigned by SAP: I t increments each time I run my test, so I must be doing something; the TAM1 in that message is the plant, and the "1" is the BOM Usage I assign in my BAPI (both in the BOMGroup structure and the MATERIALRELATIONS structure). I do a commit transaction at the end too, although the BAPI to create the material created it without me doing a commit, so I don't think that was necessary.
(Update since I posted this on the other forum: I tried to create a routing and have the same result - 000 message number, and a message including an SAP-assigned number, making me think I've created an object, but I don't see it anywhere. Any idea which tables I can look at to find them, and maybe see what's missing (e.g., with SE12 or some such)?)
Any thoughts on what I AM creating? Or some little thing I'm missing here?
Thanks for any insight!
Thomas.

How to use Object types with inheritance in design editor

Does anyone know how to implement Oracle object sub types in Design editor.
Is there a way of using the Database design transformer to convert entities to Object types rather than tables?
Thanks in anticipation
David

What database and connection type are you using? Are you connecting the report directly to the database, or trying to assign the datasource to object data?
It sounds like you might be trying to use a linked list, collection or other C# construct to pass your data in. This currently isn't supported by the Crystal Reports SDK. You can use a DataSet or a DataTable, and possibly also an IDataReader depending on which version of Crystal Reports you're referencing in your project. Of course you can also connect directly to the database, even if the database isn't on the same machine as the application.
The way to show master records with detail information is through the use of subreports and linked subreport parameters. Linked subreports take their parameter value from a record in the main report, so that only the data appropriate to that master record is displayed. The guys over in the [report design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum can help you out with this if you have questions on the specifics.
