Is there a way to create a dynamic random playlist?

I am upgrading (downgrading?) from a 60gb 5G iPod to a Touch. Since the Touch has less space on it than my former iPod, I would like to know if there is a way to have it filled with different random songs each time it is docked.
I know how to create a playlist that consists of random songs, but I want this list to change periodically, so that I have a different variety of songs available on the Touch.
Is there a way to do this?

You need to make sure that the smart playlist has a criterion that will vary with time, such as Playcount is not 0, or Last played is not within the last x days". You also need to make sure that live updating is checked.
You may need to play around with it a little to get the mix you like.

Is there a way to create a math.random that doesn't overlap movieclips?

Hi,
Actually I have two questions. I am creating a memory sequence game and I was wondering:
1. Is there a way to random position movieclips on the stage without having them overlap each other?
2. Is there a way to have flash draw a vector line from one clip to another in sequence and then have the user retrace what flash did? I have 6 movieclips on the stage, each with their own instance (ex. obj1_mc, obj2_mc, etc.). Is there a way to tell flash to always draw a line between movieclips in sequence even though the movieclips are randomly placed on the stage?
Thanks,
OJ

sure.
1. the easiest way to position objects without over-lapping, IF you can assume it will always be possible, is to use something like:
var mcA:Array=[your movieclips]
var index:uint=0;
positionF();
function positionF(){
// assuming top-left reg points of your movieclips
mcA[index].x=Math.random()*(stage.stageWidth-mcA[index].width);
mcA[index].y=Math.random()*(stage.stageHeight-mcA[index].height);
var hitBool:Boolean=false;
for(var i:int=0;i<index-1;i++){
if(mcA[index].hitTestObject(mcA[i])){
hitBool=true;
break;
if(hitBool){
positionF();
} else {
index++;
if(index<mcA.length){
positionF();
} else {
// positioning complete. do whatever
2. you can use the graphics class to draw dynamic lines.

Is there a way to create a library of playlists in iTunes

I have recently created a number of video playlists and I'm wondering if there is a way of creating a library of these playlists.Secondly is there way of adjusting the brightness of videos without downloading third party software.

Playlists in iTunes are stored in the main database iTunes Library.itl. They don't exist as a separate class of files. You can use File > Library > Export Playlist... to export individual playlists in various formats. These could be imported into another library if all of the required files of the playlist were on the same paths. In general however there is no need to export and reimport playlists to iTunes. Simply Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy so that the entire library, or any individual files, can be restored if needed.

Is there any way to create subfolders instead of playlists for videos?

I know that ipod has changed things up by adding a "tv show" feature in the video section. However, what if you have a video that doesn't fall into one of the categories already listed. That being, "Movies", "Music Videos", "TV Shows, and/or "Video Podcasts".
Instead, what if you wanted to title a folder yourself. Does Apple not offer the capability yet?
Furthermore, is there a way to categorize videos into an episode format, much like in the "TV Show" section, but in the "Movies" folder. Or can you sync videos into the "Video Podcast" section from itunes with the possibility of being able to create subfolders for view on the ipod.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

iPods, unlike iTunes, don't support folders or subfolders for videos or music. So, for now, you'll have to make do with playlists.

Is there any way to create or edit existing playlists in the Cloud?

As an example, all Beethoven symphonies should be in a playlist, in order by number. Is there a way to do this in the Cloud?

You should be able to create and edit playlists on iOS devices and in iTunes. Probably much quicker and easier on the computer, and I believe smart playlists can only be created in iTunes.

Re:- XMII is there a way todynamically create local or transaction variable

Dear all,
Is there a way to create local or transaction variable dynamically inside the BLS transactions.
I have a scenario where in i am reading the XMl document and based on the number of node (sub node ) items i need to temporary save those values into transaction variable . I want to use these saved transaction variable tvalues o later insert into database

After reading your second post, I wonder why you want to temporarily store the separate values from the XML node in a local property.
If you already have all values available in a XML, than it would be easier to process the XML directly in MII, as that is what MII does best. MII can directly access the node values and use it as input for your databse inserts. Using a repeater action, you can process 0 to n nodes. Use XPath to transfer the node values to the query parameters.
Is this the option you are looking for, or do I miss something?

Is there a way to create a local package repository

Is there a way to create a local package repository without technically being a mirror. For example, setting up multiple AL box's on my network and having them grab all the latest packages from one AL box?
Thanks,
Craig

What you most likely want is an ABS tree of your own, containing only the PKGBUILDs of those packages which you want to be included in your repository.
You should already have heard of the gensync program. In short, the parameters are the root of PKGBUILDs, sorted in subdirectories (ie. like the ABS tree), the intented name and location of the repository database file, and the directory containing the binary packages.
Let's assume you downloaded the current ABS tree to your hard drive, as well as all matching (same version as in the PKGBUILDs!) packages from a mirror, but you don't want the reiserfsprogs package in your repository. To achieve that, you must remove the /var/abs/base/reiserfsprogs directory, and may optionally remove the binary package, too. Since gensync analyzes the ABS tree you supplied as a parameter, removing the subdirectory of a specific package will cause this very package to not be included in the generated database. Assuming your packages lie in /home/arch/i686/current, your gensync call would look like this:
gensync /var/abs /home/arch/i686/current/current.db.tar.gz /home/arch/i686/current
If there are any discrepancies like
- PKGBUILD, but no matching binary package found
- PKGBUILD and binary package versions do not match
- permission problems (writing the db file must be possible)
gensync will gladly complain.
Otherwise you should find the db file in the place you specified. Keep in mind that the name of the db.tar.gz file must be equal to the repository tag in the pacman.conf to use the repo.
To make sure the db contains the right packages; use
tar -tzf current.db.tar.gz | less
to list the contents. Every package has it's own subdirectory including the metadata, which is rather obvious considering the file's generated from such a structure in the first place.
The binary packages along with a correctly generated db file are all you need. Make the repository directory containing these files available through FTP if local availability doesn't cut it for you, edit your pacman.conf if needed, and use it!
Adding packages works similar; All you need to have is the PKGBUILD in an ABS-like tree (it doesn't have to be the official tree; gensync doesn't care where the files come from. Just stick to one subdirectory per PKGBUILD, and you'll be fine), and the matching packages somewhere else, run gensync with the appropriate directories, and cackle with glee.
HTH.

Is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"?

is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"? that would make it easy to mobile sync the last import to my ipad, and do further picking/rejecting while away from my laptop.

well, yes, of course i could do it that way. i guess i wasn't specific enough. is there a way to create a smart collection, with the photos in the "previous import" as members of the smart collection. earlier i mentioned about using this smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, to do further flagging.
so my intention, use a smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, and the smart collection to include the photos from my previous import.
i guess another way to ask the question, is there a way to create a smart collection, by using some rule or condition in the smart collection, to automatically include previous import photos.
the documentation says that "previous import" is a collection, even though it shows up in the catalogue side bar section. but i see no way to choose that collection when making a smart collection.

Is there a way to create user logins or some other way to ...

Is there a way to create user logins or some other grouping for a set of applications to use (memory) resources optimally -- for example only mail and Safari and Word in one grouping and another for Safari and an audio recording application, etc.?

It is possible to use Parenal Controls to limit which applications can be used be a particular user account.
But it's not really necessary as far as managing memory.

Is there a way to create three different physical calendars in ical so that I can get a fiscal view of the calendars?

Is there a way to create three physically different calendars in iCal so that I can view the calendar and events from a fical point of view?

iCal just shows the calendars you have created in your account(s). So if you are using iCloud just log into your iCloud account in a web browser and make as many new calendars as you wish to have. Then enable those in iCal.
If you use Google accounts or something else for the calendars, then create them as needed, and enable them in iCal.
I have several separate calendars all displayed in iCal - a couple linked through my Gmail accounts, and one through my iCloud account. Each uses a different default item color so they are distinct in iCal.

Is there a way to create scripts to use tmconfig...

Is there a way to create a script to execute tmconfig and change CLOPTS parameters

If you've got perl on your machine, you can download the tuxedo perl module and
write perl scripts to call tuxedo services. There's also a tuxedo::admin module
at cpan now.
