_key.key

I have been making some changes to a program that I didn't
develop. I'm
using Director MX. I have opened the program probably 30
times, added code,
tested it. It ran fine without errors.
I'm doing some more work now on one behavior. I have made
some code changes
in that behavior and have run it several times. All of a
sudden I'm getting
an error on _key.key Handler not Defined. This code is not in
any behaviors
I've modified and I checked to see in the backup version if I
accidentally
type an odd char while this behavior might have been open,
but the code
matches the original version so that didn't happen.
I'm sure this is because MX doesn't recognize the new OOP
structure that MX
2004 implemented.
1) Why did this all of a sudden pop up when for a week it's
been running
perfectly?
2) Is _key.key in MX 2004 EXACTLY the same as the key in MX,
so if I do a
global replace on _key.key, I won't have a problem?
I could update the movie to MX2004 but I prefer to leave as
much of the
project as it was when I received it.

Thanks

Multiple key presses I'm stuck!!

i want to make a hidden navigation thingy so that if the user
types a word, but only the whole word it goes to next marker,
i know the keyUp and KeyDown navigation but how do i make it
only work when all have been pressed?
Thank you

How about storing the keystrokes in a global string?
Something like this:
on startMovie
global gKeyString
gKeyString = “”
end
on keyDown
global gKeyString
password = “abracadabra”
gKeyString = gKeyString & _key.key
if gKeyString.length > password.length then
gKeyString = chars (gKeyString,
gKeyString.length-password.length, gKeyString.length)
end if
if gKeyString = password then
go frame “secretPlace”
end if
end
I've not tested this code but it should work with little or
no modification.

Cannot use multiple database in my application

I have written a C++/CLI wrapper for use berkeleydb without lost performance. This wrapper run perfectly with one database but when i open a second database ( i create a new instance of the wrapper ) the application crash.
I have written a minimal pure C++ application that use the pure C++ classe of my wrapper, when a open and use only one database the code run perfectly but with two databases, the application be crazy.
infos : compiler VC++ 2008, OS : Vista 32bit
this the code of my berkeleydb class :

The application output show that when using two database the data is not correctly set. It seems that db and db1 is the same object :|.
For example in db i insert a key => toto with value 4, and in db1 i insert the same value nomaly have no problem. But berkeleydb say the the key toto in db1 already exist while not
I don't understand.
NB : sorry for my english

As a side note, it is unlikely that you want both
DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED and DB_MULTIVERSION to be set.
This combination pays a price during updates for
maintaining multiple versions, but still requires
(short term) locks to be held during reads. The BDB/XML Transaction Processing Guide states the following:
[...]in addition to BDB XML's normal degrees of isolation, you can also use snapshot isolation. This allows you to avoid the read locks that serializable isolation requires.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/xml/gsg_xml_txn/cxx/isolation.html
This seems to contradict what you're saying here.
Is there a general guideline on whether or not to use MVCC together with a relaxed isolation degree like DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED? Should the statement in the BDB/XML TP Guide rather have "as an alternative to" instead of "in addition to"?

Triggering keyDown while commandDown in OSX

I use the keyDown event to trigger various conventional keyboard shortcuts such as ctrl-c to copy, ctrl-v to paste. The problem is that in OSX the command key blocks the keyDown event in Director so instead of the OSX convention of command-c I have to instead use control-c. I can test the key events in a frame script and verify the _key.commandDown flag but the normal keyDown event is never triggered while the command key is pressed. Is there some workaround or setting to get this to work as expected? Or perhaps a different event which will work the same as the keyDown?

Hmm. I just created a new movie with nothing in it except for the following script, and it worked as expected. I am using OSX version 10.7.5 and Director 11.5, what about you? Also, are you familiar with the _movie.editShortCutsEnabled? Are you sure that the script you are writing is necessary?
My test script:
on exitFrame me
go to the frame
end
on keyDown
if _key.commandDown then
    case _key.key of
      "c": alert "command-c"
      "x": alert "command-x"
    end case
end if
end keydown

Simple example of a combobox displaying data from a CF datasource

Can anyone point me to a simple example of a Flex 3 combobox that displays data from a ColdFusion datasource? I cannot seem to find a simple example. As always, thanks!

Thanks for the response, but the example you provided is more complex than I need. For example, I have a simple table accessed through ColdFusion. The table has one filed with 7 records. I need a flex page to display that data in DataGrid, ComboBox and List controls. The Datagrid displays the 7 records but the ComboBox and List are blank. How do I get the values from the database to display in the BomboBox and List controls?

Thoughts on adding ConcurrentMap methods to StoredMap?

as far as i can tell, StoredMap has the potential to implement the extra methods in the jdk 1.5 ConcurrentMap interface. Database already has a putNoOverwrite method which would be the implementation of putIfAbsent. Personally, however, i am more interested in the other methods, all of which basically do their work only if the current value matches a given old value. this enables safe concurrent updates to a StoredMap even outside of transactions, basically using an optimistic scenario:
- read existing key,value (hold no locks)
- copy current value and modify the copy
- write modified value only if current value matches what is now in the database (this line within the context of a RMW lock)
any idea if this could be incorporated in the je codebase anytime soon? i may end up implementing it in our codebase, although the je api is not easy to extend as most classes/useful methods are package protected (arg!).

hey,
just wanted to follow up on this a little. after using the concurrent implementation for a while (with transactions enabled), i experimented with extending the api to add a "transaction-like" extension to the concurrentmap api. this basically blends the concurrentmap api with the option of better performance when transactions are enabled in the underlying bdb. there are three methods added, which basically allow for "locking" a given key and "committing" or "rolling back" the updates as appropriate (if transactions are not enabled, the new methods are largely no-ops, and you get normal concurrent map behavior). thought i'd post the new code in case you were interested in providing this facility to other users (or, you could just stick with the original version posted above).
Example usage:
Object key;
try {
Object value = map.getForUpdate(key);
// ... run concurrent ops on value ...
map.replace(key, value, newValue);
map.completeUpdate(key);
} finally {
map.closeUpdate(key);

Good Lingo Coders Check this out!

I want to make a Naruto game for mac and pc that allows you
to play as many characters that I have collected. I have created
custom chakra bars and all lot of stuff! I need good coders since I
am new to director and I don't know how to code. At one point, I
made a flash and I thought this would be the same so I tried it and
found out it was different. If you can help, first tell me please
how I can make my character controlled by arrows as I have searched
many articles for it. Also, how can I set other keys or make a key
configuration window?

your project is interesting.
Is it commercial game?
I'm pretty sure someone out there will be interested if you
give out more details.
you can use the following code. It is basic. you'll need to
adjust it to your needs.
-- example on how to use keyDown
on keyDown
if(_key.key = SPACE)then

JMS destination key used for message ordering not working

Hi there,
i'm using Weblogic 10.3. I've been trying to implement ordering of messages using a destination key assigned to a JMS message queue. The default ordering is FIFO (it uses the JMSMessageID in ascending order for this).
According to documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/ConsoleHelp/taskhelp/jms_modules/destination_keys/ConfigureDestinationKeys.html) one can also configure the queue to behave in a LIFO manner by creating a destination which sorts on the JMSMessageID in a descending order.
I have tried this, it does not work. I have also played with different message priority settings and tried to sort on the JMSPriority field of the messages in ascending and descending order, it changes nothing. Messages keep being processed in a FIFO manner.
Has anyone been able accomplish message ordering other than FIFO? Am I missing something?
Any assistance would be highly appreciated!

Why not try
if (_key.keyPressed(TAB)) then
-- DO WHATEVER CONDITION
end if
im not sure if that is the correct way of telling the system
to use the TAB key but this works for RETURN when the user hits the
enter key, so if u substitute the TAB for the command to use the
TAB key im sure it will work
im sorry if it doesnt tho, but its worth a try if your still

Capture ENTER key on numeric keypad

I have several chemistry tutorials where users type something and then have it evaluated by pressing the ENTER key. This works fine for the ENTER key on the main part of the keyboard, but does not work for the ENTER key for the numeric keypad on keyboards with the two ENTER keys. How do I capture the ENTER key on the numeric keypad? In other words, how do I do the equivalent of the following for that key?
if the key = RETURN then
Thanks

Key down, Key up, Key code problems

I've been having problems putting a key down handler
together, which is weird because it's pretty basic.
on keydown
if (_key.keycode = 4) then baOpenFile( the moviepath &
"help\help.pdf" , "maximised" )
end keydown
doesn't seem to do anything, key up the same. I know this is
a pretty basic thing, and in MX 2004 which is the Director version
I'm using, they've done it a little different but I can't seem to
see why it's not working.
help?!

Key functions operate in several different ways in Director.
If you have
an editable field or text member, then you can attach a
behavior to that
field or text sprite and include an on keyDown me and/or on
keyUp me
function. Because there is an editable sprite on the stage,
Director
will route key events to that sprite. If there is a function
to handle
the event, then something will happen. This sort of thing is
usually
done if you need to read and/or filter the user's input. You
don't need
a behavior at all if you just want the user to input
something.
If you are using key events for some other action, like
navigation or
game element control, then you need to tell Director to pay
attention to
the keyboard input. This is done by assigning a function as
the
keyDownScript or the keyUpScript. The assignment may be done
in a movie
event function, like startMovie, or it may be done in a
behavior.
Here's one example in a movie script window:
on startMovie
the keyDownScript = "readKeys"
end
on readKeys
case the keyCode of
4: baOpenFile(the moviePath &
"help\help.pdf","maximised")
end case
end
Here's an example in a behavior:
property thisSprite
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
the keyDownScript = "readKeys"
end
on endSprite me
the keyDownScript = ""
end
In the second example, the behavior could be attached to any
sprite that
will be available when you want the key events to be
interpreted.
Setting the keyDownScript to "" will stop Director from
paying attention
to key events.

put_sc_key -keyver 0 -newkeyver 1 -mac_key 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff -enc_key 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff -kek_key 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff(assuming that I want to change those three keys to "00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff")
I get (6A80: Wrong data / Incorrect values in command data.)
Am I doing something wrong?

So let's assume you have a GP 2.1.1 compliant card. The following script worked for putting a new key with key version 1:

PrintScreen key causes problems

Hi
My movie reacts to space key to perform some action
on keyUp
if (_key.keycode = 49) then sendallsprites(#SpacePressed)
end
But when the user press after that printScreen key, keyUp
event is executed,
but _key.keycode is still 49 that responds to space-key. and
the application
reacts to printscreen as to space-key.
Keydown event is not executed on pressing printScreen key, so
using
_key.keyPressed() function I can not check if really space is
pressed,
In on keyUp handler _key.keyPressed(49) is false even if user
pressd space
(because key is already up)
_key.keycode is readOnly so can not get reed of value 49,
until another key
with some value is pressed
Is there any way to avoid this?
Thanx in advance
Orest

A single display icon (set to 'Update Displayed Variables')
containing {Key}
will suffice. Why do it the hard way!

Changing keys

Hi everyone,
I'll go straight to the point - I can't change java card keys via GPShell no matter what I try.
Secure channel opening works, as applet loads (other script with identical begining) without issues.
Script:

hi
for me that looks simple: you're trying to change a non-existent key version/index.
did you try
put_sc_key -keyver *0* -newkeyver 1 -mac_key 404142434445464748494a4b4c4d4e4f -enc_key 404142434445464748494a4b4c4d4e4f -kek_key 404142434445464748494a4b4c4d4e4f
the key version may start at zero and should be incremented.
isn't there any indication of the key index? I don't know the command.
