LONG string formatting problem- do you have answers?

Hi,
When I start my movie, I am trying to set a variable using a LONG string- concatenating "text" and getAt(x,y). I saw a solution some time ago utilizing backslashes. i keep getting the error message "variable used befroe assigned a value".
My variable is "bodder" and the string is "I can't get there until " & getAt(x,y) & ". You may have to ask a co-worker for a ride, or catch the next commuter train."
"bodder" is included as a global.
My code is: bodder = string( "I can't get there until " & getAt(x,y) & ". You may have to ask a co-worker for a ride, " \
"or catch the next commuter train.")
Thanks in advance.

Joshua,
I just used 'x' and 'y' in my post to fill-in the blanks.
I have a list with a different name, which I access/reference throughtout the movie successfully.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and I had Adobe InDesign which is no longer supported. Problem is, I have several files I need but cannot open because it was PowerPC based. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

    I recently upgraded to Lion and I had Adobe InDesign which is no longer supported. Problem is, I have several files I need but cannot open because it was PowerPC based. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

    Assuming you registered your older version, you can retrieve the serial number by going to Adobe's site and go into your account. On this page, click the My products link in the right hand column of the first three. You'll be asked to enter your user account name and password. Once in, a list of all software you've purchased will be shown, along with their serial numbers.
    That said, it really won't help you much. A PowerPC only version of InDesign means it's no newer than the original CS version, and won't be worth a cent towards an upgrade discount. To get CS6, you'd have to pay full price again.

  • Mac pro 8 core early 2008 problem is you have to unplug

    Mac pro 8 core early 2008 problem is you have to unplug for 2-3hrs before using again.

    Overheating?  Install a temperature monitor like iStat Pro, iStat Menus, Temperature Monitor, Hardware Monitor, etc. and see if you are overheating.
    When was the last time you blew out the dust from inside your machine?
    I don't understant the "unplug" statement.  Do yo mean just turn off?

  • ITunes migration problem - do you have a solution?

    Problem:
    I need to migrate a 120GB hard drive OS 10.3.9 system to a 75GB partition on a new hard drive. I have an iTunes music folder which is about 70 GB. I also just purchased SuperDuper! to help with the system cloning. I also have two SATA 300GB drives - oneof which I want to house the iTunes music folder on.
    Question:
    So, how do I do this and retain all of my preferences (iTunes playlists, playcounts, etc.)? I did a full copy/backup of the 120GB system using SuperDuper! to the second SATA drive for safe keeping.
    A couple of other questions; 1) how would I do this for iPhoto and iMovie (how do I copy the data to the SATA drive and then have all of the preferences stay on the new 75GB PATA drive partition?
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    -Jason

    I have a variation of this question. I've looked at the article and don't get an exact answer for myself.
    I have a new iMac PPC G5 and don't want to lose any of my ratings or dates downloaded info for iTunes on the old machine.
    Migration assistant is not working for me so I've tried to do the work manually.
    I have all my music and most info successfully moved, placed as it was on my old ~music/itunes.... location.
    But, I did not get and do not see how to get the info on my ratings and date/time downloaded.
    Any ideas.
    I'm connected to the old hard drive via a Firewire and am in the Firewire target mode.
    Thanks.

  • I can no longer acceess my job because you have disabled SSLv3

    I need to be able to access the mytupperware.ca site!!! Your new version of Firefox will not let me and that is most annoying as this is part of my JOB!!!

    Depending on site you may need to Modify '''security.tls.version.fallback-limit''' from 1 to 0 also as otherwise it may still use TLS 1.0 as the minimum.
    After you are done you should right-click these Preferences and select Reset to set them back to default to be safe and not vulnerable in case you use a site that you thought was secure and is not secure due to still using SSL 3.0.
    The https://my.tupperware.ca site got a rating of F at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=my.tupperware.ca

  • HT3819 This article did not help me at all. It does not show how to fix problems if you have iOS 6 or iTunes 11

    OK, so I have the Apple TV 3, iMac with Mountain Lin, iTunes 11, iPad 3 with iOS 6.
    All on the same home network.
    All signed in with the same Apple ID.
    All with home sharing enabled.
    But home sharing does not work!

    Try rebooting all devices including the router.

  • Is it possable to transfer an incoming call on your Iphone, once you have answered it?

    After receiving a call is it possible to transfer the call and hang up without disconnecting the call and the transfer location?

    {color:#000080}Read the documentation for javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet.platformRequest(String URL), particularly the paragraph related to tel:<number>.
    Note that
    -- on some devices the call may be placed only after the application is closed.
    -- pauses during dialing are not relevant in some telephony services.
    -- The user will be asked for permission before any call is placed.

  • A message to Deavonex!  Yes, what you have written has helped me! I have managed to initialize iPad touch 4th generation after it locked by itself in the middle of set up (using Mac)!  But I read only long answer you did write! I pressed all the buttons

    A message to Deavonex!
    Yes, thank you! What you have answered has helped me to initialize iPad touch 4th generation model, and unlock it!  Although, I only read your long reply first, to solve the problem that you have written before to someone else!  It did not work exactly as you wrote, but you sent me in the right direction.  Since, iPad did not have any data anyway, it did not matter if I lose any data in the process, I did not need to back any saved data.  I pressed all the buttons and held it for different  times and I don't know how it happened but eventially it turned on (logo picture apple appeared) and it was initialized!  Thank you! 

    Thank you for your feedback; I glad you are up and running

  • Struts String Array problem:

    Hello All,
    I'm working on a DynaValidatorForm in struts and I'm not able to define my string arrays without compile errors in WSAD 5.0 and it doesn't work right with the validator for those two items. WSAD 5.0 uses a 1.3 beta version of struts and that may be the problem or it may be a bug in the validator. Not sure which. This is what I have in the struts-config.xml file for the form-bean:
    <form-beans>
    <form-bean name="submitDynaValidateForm"
    type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
    <form-property name="lastName"     type="java.lang.String"/>
    <form-property name="address"      type="java.lang.String"/>
    <form-property name="sex"      type="java.lang.String"/>
    <form-property name="married"      type="java.lang.String"/>
    <form-property name="children"      type="java.lang.String[]"/>
    <form-property name="age"      type="java.lang.String"/>
    <form-property name="interests" type="java.lang.String[]"/>
    </form-bean>
    </form-beans>
    Anyone come across this problem before and do you know how to solve it other than doing the validation for the String Arrays in the Action class?
    Thanks,
    James

    I don't know how to solve it, but I'd wonder about the need to validate the array of Strings. I think that should just be a String type.
    If you have String arrays to populate a drop-down list, I think the assumption has to be that the drop-down has been populated properly. There's no need to re-check it every time. Even if the list is changing, because its contents are driven by another selection, the responsibility for getting those values correct lie outside the validator's domain.
    And since the single selection that's actually sent as input comes from an array of valid values, there's no opportunity for the user to send an invalid value.
    I think the validation framework is for checking manual, typed user input to make sure they're the correct types, no typo errors, etc.
    Business validity is another matter that the Struts validation framework shouldn't address. Those business rules belong on the middle tier, IMO.

  • I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

    I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
    When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
    I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
    I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
    thanks

    ''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' <br />
    And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.

  • A company has invaded while I was on Firefox and it insists that I buy Vista antivirus 2011 to solve the problem - does Firefox have a way to delete this?

    I had left my computer on when I went to dinner and both internet explorer and firefox browsers were on. When I returned, the screen said that I had been "infected" and a variety of trojan horses and other problems were breaking into my computer and my personal data were at risk. It insists that I buy a program called Vista Anti-virus 2011 to fix the problem and prevent future problems. A search on another computer suggests that this software itself is very malicious. I want to get rid of the infection but don't know how. Can you help?
