Jump to next frame label without specifying a name

Is it possible to jump to next frame label without specifying
the name of the frame label?
For example instead of saying
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Step_02");
I wanted it just to go to next available frame label.
Thanks
Jonas

not with actionscript 2.

Go back/next frame label

Hi:
How can I code a button that goes back to the previous frame
label and another that goes to the next frame label?
I know about prevFrame() and nextFrame(), but I need
something similar that references the next/previous named label and
not the frame number... Any ideas?
thank you,
Rafael.

I don't think someone who is 'new to flash' will not be able to get this by just having the attributes and properties mentioned. (If you can do that, you're pretty good at it already). Maybe someone can help me with this simple test Flash (which should serve as a begineer tutorial). (If you are a Flexer, I have made a Flash timeline with three Frame Labelled sections: "One", "Two" and "Three". Each has two buttons ("nextButton" and "prevButton") along with a text number on the stage, denoting which frame section we are on). Here is the Actionscript code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
nextButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onNext)
function onNext(event:MouseEvent):FrameLabel
gotoAndStop(nextFrame);
prevButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPrev)
function onPrev(event:MouseEvent):FrameLabel
gotoAndStop(prevFrame);
With this, I get the error:"ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label function Function() {} not found in scene Scene 1." I think this means that I'm supposed to define a function (is it the function that calls my FrameLabel array?). How do I do this?

Inserting values for all records except 1 or 2 column ,without specify column names.,?

Hi,
for example, in student table i am having 1000 columns, column names like(id ,name,class, dept,etc,.).
i want to insert 998 fields to department table from student tables except(id,class).
i don't want to mention all column names in the insert command,
is there any possibilities to filter the column names in insert command like (EXCEPT, NOT IN).
Thanks in advance..

Cue point to jump to next frame of movie

Hi. I'm a bit lost assigning an action script created
CuePoint (Entered in Paramenters Window for FLV media component) to
tell my SWF movie to advance to the next frame and thus call the
next video I want to throw onto that next keyframe.
I know this must be basics to most, but somewhere I'm
missing it. Once a CuePoint is created, how do I link that to
trigger an action?

Thanks for reply. I was out of things for a week with flu.
Serious flu. Now I have to catch up. Grrrr.
Does that mean ("cuePoint" , ... needs to be replaced with
the actual name of the cue point to work?
+ The Cue point Parameters. What should they be set
as?

Create Directory Dialog box without specifying file name

Hi all Programmers/Developers/JDC memebers
I would like to know in java is there any method or class which helps to give directory dialog box without specifying filename.
I mean to say if u have c,d,e drives and some directories under them
c:\dir1
c:\dir2
d:\dir1
d:\dir2
i want a dialog box,which dispalys all the directories of the selected drive and upon choosing/selecting that directory i should be able to get all the files under them.

Hi,
You can write a file filter for a JFileChooser, in the following way,
public class DirectoryFilter extends javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter
public boolean accept(java.io.File file)
boolean filter = false;
if(file.isDirectory())
filter = true;
return filter;
public String getDescription()
return "Directories only";
//in your code
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
fileChooser.setFileFilter(new DirectoryFilter());
fileChooser.showOpenDialog() etc. etc..
There's one small issue, by default JFileChooser has a filter called all files filter which you can select from the combo labled "files of type" . So, your file filter won't apply if this filter is chosen.
To disable the all files filter
use
fileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
and only if you are on jdk1.3 or greater since this is a private method in the JFileChooser in 1.2.2 .
Hope this helps,
regards,
Manish

Bulk Load data without specifying column names in control file

I am totally new to the world of Oracle databases and am having some trouble doing some basic data imports from a csv file. I have a large amount of data in an excel spreadsheet (a couple hundred columns by varying numbers of rows from 2- several thousand) which I want to import into my Oracle 11g Database. Currently I am trying to use sql loader and specify the import syntax in the control file. From the examples I've seen so far, it seems you must specify the columns individually for what you are importing. This is simply not reasonable for several hundred columns of data.
Is there sql loader syntax (or a better method all together) to import a comma delimited csv or excel spreadsheet into an oracle database where it automatically generates a table and columns based on the data in the target import file? Even if I must first create the table in the database, my key issue is being able to generate the column names during import to match the column headers in the import file. I appreciate any help you could provide.
FYI here is my first meager attempt at importing a comma delimited csv, here is my ctl file:
load data
infile 'C:\filepath\mock_data.csv'
into table allData
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
It says Syntax error at line 4. Expecting "(", found end of file.
I suspect there is more at issue here than a missing "("

You have to create the control file to map to the table.
Since you would already have created the tables, you could generate the controlfiles based on the table structures.
See the "unloader.zip" file under the Files link at http://asktom.oracle.com
-- it has scripts to create unload a table to a flat file and to create the SQLLoader controlfile to reload that data to another target database. It would be the second set of scripts that you can use.

How to get the name of a field without specifying it as a string (somehow v

Is it possible to get the name of a field (or method) somehow via the class in which it is declared?
The reason why I ask is, that quite often the name of a field is important, because the name is the anchor for further processing, like for example when using reflection (e.g. Class.getfield(NameOfTheField)).
Assume you have class FooSimple with the field String firstName.
Now you would do something like this:
Class<FooSimple> cls = FooSimple.class;
Field f = cls.getField("firstName");
The problem is, that the string firstName is kind of hard coded. When the name of the field in class FooSimple changes (e.g. to theFirstName), the invocation will not work anymore when you forget to change the string too.
I think it would be very helpful to have access to the name of the field directly via the class by doing something like this.
Class<FooSimple> cls = FooSimple.class;
Field f = cls.getField(FooSimple.firstName.fieldName);
The Java Compiler would then resolve FooSimple.firstName.fieldName to the string firstName. When later the name of the field is changed, the IDE would change the name everywhere where it is used. So if the name of the field would be changed to theFirstName the IDE would also change the statement to
Class<FooSimple> cls = FooSimple.class;
Field f = cls.getField(FooSimple.theFirstName.fieldName);
A technique like this would be in my opinion much more safety and more generic.
Any ideas?
Best Regards.

Well, I think the discussion is going in a wrong direction because the original issue was not to discuss if it is worth coding some helper classes or a framework or that like. Let me bring it back to my original point.
Basically you can reduce my original question to this:
Currently it is possible to use the reflection API on a class level without specifying the name of the class with a string constant.
My issue is, that I think it would be a nice extension for Java, if the same would be possible for field variables of a Java class. Currently the only way you can do this is by specifying the field variable with a string constant.
Let me bring some motivations which brought me to this issue.
Assume you have an entity bean which represents a DB table and you use Java Persistence (either JPA or something like Hibernate). Then you would have a class looking like this (very simple sample to make this reply shorter).
@Entity
@Table(name = "PERSON")
public class Person implements Serializable {
@Column(name = "NAME")
private String name;
// constructor, getter, setter, etc. not listed here
}The whole issue of the design of JPA is, that such entity beans represent the mapping between the object model and the DB model, the mapping is expressed with annotations.
Okay, now lets assume you write a query in Query Language, e.g.
String sql = select p from Person p where name = :name;name is the name of the field variable, :name is the parameter you later set with Query.setParameter method.
What is not so nice is the fact, that you use the name of the class and the name of the field variables hardcoded to construct the query. Now you could think that basically this information is part of your entity class. First you start with the name of the class (i.e. the table name) to decouple this hardcoding.
You could write instead:
String sql = select p from + Person.class.getSimpleName() + p where name = :name;This is really nice, because whenever you change the name of your Person class, this change happens automatically for the sql statement as well.
I think the next thoughts are obvious, now, since you have decoupled the hardcoded part of the name of the class, you would like to do the same for the names of the field variables. But now you are stuck, there is no way to do this using a similar technique like for the name of the class. Either you stay with the query as it is now, or, to make it a little bit better, you code string constants for the field variables and use them. This issue brought me to the point that I think it would be nice to have the possibility to get the name of a field variable in a similar way as you can get it for the name of the class.
Conceptually it is just to go one level deeper, i.e.
first level is to get the name of a class
second level is to get the name of the field variable of a class.
Another sample would be, if you want to code something by using reflection. You have perfectly access to the reflection API starting at the class level like Person.class.allTheNiceReflectionMethods. There is no need to specify the class first with a string constant first, you directly start with the class, you can even be generic and just work on the Class.class level and still have access to all these nice methods to get out the information you need.
But if you need to start with a very specific field variable (like in the sample above), you must go by using a string constant like Person.class.getDeclaredField(name).
So basically I think that there exist already millions of lines of Java code where a field variable is specified for further processing, especially in combination with the reflection functionality and everywhere the field variables are specified by these string constants in double quotes. I would assume, that everyone has the same problem, once changing the name of the field variable means to take care that also the content of the string which specifies the name of the field variable is changed.
I am wondering why one of the replies commented, why the name of a field variable is changed, it sounds to me that this is something which basically never happens. I dont know, I think that this happens actually quite often and thanks to all these nice IDEs and their rename feature this is usually no problem. From time to time names of classes change, name of field change, yes, they are often even completely rewritten, new field variables come in some are deleted, whatever it is. The way I currently can access the name of a class makes the code safer, because when I consequently go with Class.class.getSimpleName I always know, that when I rename the class all these statements are changed too If I delete such a class, I at least get a compile error.
My very simple issues is, that I think it would be nice to have the same comfort not only on a class level but also on the level of field variables, nothing more, nothing less.
To be honest, I have not browsed the forum yet if such an issue was already raised by other people (I will do this now), but somehow it is hard to imagine, that I am the first one.
Best regards.

GUI way to jump between Frame Labels?

I have a Flash movie with 15 frame labels over a long span in
a timeline. Is there a menu or palette that shows these label names
that lets me jump to specific ones (like Director)?
I checked out the Movie Explorer and didn't see the label
names, only frame numbers and various tweens, a lot of stuff. I
read in the Help and searched this forum for this answer.
Thank you for any advice or help.

Movie Explorer does show labels. Maker sure the FRAME button
is pressed.
(Show Frames And Layers, right next to the one which looks
like CD)
Tho, this won't work across multiple scenes, per single
timeline only.

Frame Label Variable

Is there any way that I can address a frame label using a variable? When I don't have a label in quotes, isn't it expecting a number?
sym.stop("labelname");
What I want to do is have labels as 1-10 so I can have a back and next button that simply add or subtract 1 from the variable that goes to the right frame label name.

I downloaded the Go To Label sample and it worked great until I tried to modify it to work in my project. I have a series of animations that I would like to have play from start to finish AND have previous/next buttons that jump to labels. The Go To Label code seems to stop working predictably when the main timeline is playing instead of being stopped as in the sample. I assume it's because it's not sure exactly where the playhead is when the buttons are clicked.
I've attached a link to a modified version of the Go To Label sample that shows what I'm trying to do. I changed all the "stops" to "plays" so that it plays continuously. I notice that the buttons work correctly at times but not always. For instance, if you let it play on its own without clicking any of the buttons until it reaches "Stop 3" and then click the prev button it will go all the way back to "Stop 1" instead of "Stop 2". It does the same when applied to my project.
Any ideas on what's happening and how I can modify it to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Thanks!

Navigating to Frame Label in mc from main timeline

Lets say that in my main timeline, I have a number of frame
labels. On stage I have a movie clip (let's call it bg_mc) which
contains a tweened animation that has been looping repeatedly (so
it has its own timeline with its own frame labels).
I would like this to happen:
- On the main timeline, the playhead enters a specific frame
called "newBackground."
- When that happens, I want the playhead in bg_mc to jump to
the first frame in its timeline, "beginLoop."
How do I accomplish this?
Thanks so much for your help!
David

Now, this brings on another question... that is, what if the
opposite is true?
For instance:
The main timeline plays to a stop(); at frame 10.
At frame 10, a movie clip (countdown_mc) which contains a
countdown timer, begins.
When the timer reaches 00:00, I want to trigger the main
timeline to continue and play the next frame (11).
Thanks again for the great advice,
David

Song wont play and just jumped to next song automatically

Hi guys, Im using MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.2, iTunes 11.1.5(5) and iPhone 4S
Actually, i added my musics on iTunes library and all of them play properly in iPhone but when im going to play a specific one it wont play and automatically jumped to next track. Once I deleted the song on MacBook's library and add it again but still cant paly it on iPhone! However, i can play the exactly same song on MacBook without any problem but in iPhone cannot!!!!
is there any solution for this issue ?!

Hi Sharif - when you go to play the music on your iPhone is there a cloud icon with a red arrow next to the length of the track as shown below?
If so the track is not on your phone. Tap the cloud and it will download to your phone and once finished you can play it normally.

Wacky problem with Frame label

I have a menu set up with three items. Menu item one has
"gotoAndPlay("video"), menu item two has
"gotoAndPlay("somethinghere") etc...
My menu items two and three always jump to the correct frame
label. I am having a problem with the first menu item.
When you click through the menu items slowly, content loads
in correctly, but it seems that if you click different menu items
too fast, the first menu item jumps back the main timeline to frame
1. My menu is inside of a movieclip. This is where my frame labels
are.
Has anyone ever seen an issue like this before or know how to
prevent this wacky behavior?

use the goto methods, not functions:
_root.gotoAndPlay("video");

Merge cell without specifying a range?

I am running a Powershell script with an XLSx function where I get output from multiple script and
the output are stored in seprate worksheets. In 2 of my worksheets I have row name for each column, I have managed to remove (blank) the duplicate row value. Now I am looking to merge those cells whose colA rows are blank. I understand that we need to specify
the range for the cells to be merge. Is it possible to merge without specifying a range?

Hi,
Would you like to share us a sample of the file? Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to merge the blank cells with above cells which include the value. And you do not want to assign the range. If it is, please try the following
code:
Sub MergeCells()
Dim LRow As Long
Dim MyRng As Range
Dim c As Range
Dim MergRng As Range
Range("A1").Activate
LRow = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
Set MyRng = Range("A1:A" & LRow)
For Each c In MyRng
If c.Value = "" Then
Set MergRng = Range(c, c.Offset(-1, 0))
With MergRng.Cells
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlTop
.WrapText = False
.Orientation = 0
.AddIndent = False
.ShrinkToFit = False
.MergeCells = True
End With
End If
Next c
End Sub

How can i run external application without specifying the full path?

for example, ms word executable file is winword.exe, but in java i am using the following command:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office10\\winword.exe\");
the thing is, i dont know where ms word is installed on every machine, so rather than making an assumption, do you know how i can run ms word without specifying the full path?
thanks

1) You could ask the user to tell you where it's at (and remember for next time)
2) You could do a file search for it (and remember it for next time)

Advanced action: jump to next slide if all text entry boxes are filled out. If not, pause project and show error message

Hi there
Working with captivate 4 and advanced actions, which is a great new feature, I encounter the following problem:
I have a sign-in slide, where the user has to insert his name and several other data. For user-friendly handling, I have the text entry boxes appearing one after another, so when the user confirms his entry, the next text entry box appears and has the focus.
The button for jumping to the next slide works with an advanced action:
Only if the user has filled out all the text entry boxes, the action "jump to the next slide" is performed.
If not, an error message is shown.
It works well so far.
Now, I want the project to pause there, and not to jump back to the beginning of the slide (as suggested in another Thread in this forum), because then the text entry boxes dissappear again.
I tried to set the movie control variable rdcmndPause to 1 in order to make the movie pause, but nothing happens.
I tried it with an external playback control bar and without, it didn't work in either case.
I found the hint:
To control the project through the skin file, add the prefix cpSkinLoader_mc to the variables. This might be the solution.(?)
But how can I change the name of a MovieControl Variable?
If anyone knows, how this is supposed to work or has another suggestion to solve the problem, please let me now.
Thanks a lot.
Petra

Hi Petra,
I believe I can help you, but from a completely different angle than anything you've tried yet. I try to find simple solutions to complex problems. No advanced actions will be needed, just a little creative timing. First, I need to be sure I correctly understand what it is you're hoping to accomplish.
If I understand you correctly, you've got a single welcome slide. On this slide you've got several TEB's (text entry boxes), set up with variables to make your project more personal or gather some required information. These TEB's have no right or wrong answers, they simply require an entry: such as an address which begins with a numeric key. The TEB's are set to appear one after another, as one is completed the next one appears. Once all have been completed a next button, set to "jump to next slide" takes them to the next slide and on through your course. You want the project to pause until the user clicks this button, and only proceed if all TEB's have been entered. If not, you wish an error message to appear.
If the above description is correct, I'd do the following:
Leave your TEB's to show up one at a time as the previous is submitted, as you've described. (each one pauses the slide till info is submitted, then "continues" the slide and the next TEB displays)
Set each TEB to "display for rest of slide".
For the next button: In the properties dialog box, options tab, name the button "Next_button" and uncheck the visibility box.
Open the properties for the final TEB that students will fill in and set the on success property to "show" then choose the Next_button by clicking the drop down arrow beside the "show" field. This will hide the Next button until all TEB's have been filled in.
There is no error message, because there is no possibility of error. Why tell a student they've messed up, just eliminate that possibility! All TEB's only display after the previous is entered, and the Next button is hidden until the last TEB is entered.
I've tested this in a simple 3 slide project and it all worked fine, including some variables. If you need more detailed info, or would like to see the sample proj. I created let me know.
Hope this helps.
