It sounds like you just need to try to implement what you have described - take it one thought/step at a time and it should all get tied together by the time you get thru it all. After you do that you should come back if things don't work and explain what you tried, including the code that you implemented with it.

Screensaver help - downloading.

Hello,
I just got an intel iMac 20' alum. computer today and i'm trying to download a screensaver that I had on my previous iMac G5 - problem is, I can't. I read that the Stuffit Expander does NOT come with this model so I downloaded that myself. I then went to the website and selected that I wanted to mac version. The stuffit expander opens - extracts the files, and then the screen saver starts to download. At the end it says an error occured because an error occurred - 5000 (really helpful!).
Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? Maybe it doesn't work with Leopard?
If anyone is wondering what screensaver I am trying to download - it's the "Hairspray" movie one on the official website.
Thanks!

The Get Info window will tell you the code used in an app; PowerPC, Intel or Universal. To see the Get Info window, highlight an app with one click and either left click and choose Get Info or press key combo Command + "I".

Making Java Game Help ^^

We're making a game for our Java course and we're thinking of making something like Flash Flash Revolution, only in Java. Is this anywhere near possible? Or should we just make a tile-based game like Spyhunter...?
I'd really appreciate some help or comments. ^^

This can 100% definetly be done.
The only real hard part is getting the arrows to perfectly sync up with the BPM of the music. Your going to have to write a routine that can change the scroll speed and timing of the arrows based on varying BPM values.
There are some free programs out there you can download that will give you the BPM of songs you feed it. The non free tools allow you to get a higher and more accurate BPM precision.
Of course if you simple make the game only have 1 song, and you already know the exact BPM, then you can code the initial arrow movement speed for that one song and pretty much the rest of the game is a cake walk to program.

Making training videos, help please

Hi friends,
I'm trying to make some training movies, similar to what you see on Lynda.com. Basically, they are a movie capture of what you're doing on the screen. Can someone please help me with the settings? Does the resolution of your monitor matter? I'm using Snapz Pro X to capture what I'm doing. Is that the best program? What should the compression settings be? I've been using "animation" as suggested by the program but the file sizes are huge.
I'm on a MacBook Pro but most people who view it will be on a PC. Will they need to download something to view it?
I'm sure this has been done many times before so if someone can give me advice, I would be very appreciative. I'm tired of testing, testing, testing.
Thanks.

Why am I having trouble making any download helper work?

I have a new MacBook Air. I have tried downloading several Download Helpers to download videos from YouTube, but none seem to work. When I downloaded the product "Dowload Helper" I did see an icon on the tool bar. When I would open Firefox I would see it in color momentarily, then it would "ghost". It would never activate or spin on any videos.

stuart7491,
Firefox is released on a posted 6 week schedule, so their is no reason for any add-on developer to be caught by surprise when their add-on stops working or needs to be updated.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar#Future_branch_dates
Central (Nightly), Aurora (aka Developer Edition), Beta, and Release
All "channel" versions are available for anyone that wants to "test" them, to see what is "coming down the road", or to contribute to the development of Firefox.
The "life cycle" of each new version of Firefox is 24 weeks.
6 weeks in the Nightly channel in Alpha 1 development.
6 weeks in the Developer Edition / Aurora channel - Alpha 2.
6 weeks in the Beta channel - "fit and finish" stage. ''(And very rarely a new, smaller feature is added in Beta when it was developed off the normal "channel route" in secret. Has happened just once, iirc, somewhat recently.)''
Then 6 weeks as the latest Release version, before the next Release version comes out.

Photo Screensaver Help

I have my photo screensaver set to all photos and not to a specific album, but when it plays back the photos it doesn't include photos from certain albums and repeats a lot of the same photos from one album. It is using multiple albums for the show just not all of them. Does anyone know why this would happen. If I select the album I know its not using as the only album for the screensaver it plays back fine so I know that the photos are synced and working. Just when I tell apple TV to use all my photos it doesn't. Any thoughts?

I don't have any suggestions for you, except that I'd always thought what a good job apple had made with this feature, on my tv's I'm extremely delighted with the way it shuffles my photos. Clearly something is not right for you because my tv's are so good at shuffling pictures, it has to be more than just different opinions about the same experience..

Wallpaper/Screensaver HELP!

Hello. My 13" MacBook Pro's desktop wallpaper will not change.
So when I open System Preferences, and click Desktop Wallpaper/Screensaver, the color wheel appears, and where the images are supposed to be shown, "loading images" is seen. After a few seconds, the application does not respond and I have to Force Quit it. I've waited hours upon hours for it to load, but nothing happens! Could anyone give me any tips on how to fix it? I can change my wallpaper in Safari, but I can't set anything in my iPhoto library/Pictures library. Thank you in advance.

Are the photos in a format the Touch can handle? Technical specifications for a second generation Touch state: "Syncs iPod-viewable photos in JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PSD (Mac only), and PNG formats" so I assume it's that same for the latest Touch's too.
Note that the PSD format says Mac only.
Other than that, I've no more ideas.

Can't disable Screensaver, HELP!!

Yes i did search the forums, yes i did use Google, yes yes yes. This is my last hope before i go insane.
My issue:
-When i lock Screen by using keychain toolbar menu, even if i have my screensaver set to NEVER, after the screen is locked, it comes up anyways.
I have tried to find any information about this issues, and got nowhere.
I will post a screen movie capture so you can see what is that i am talking about.

Still, not the best solution, i need to find an answer to this thing my god i need to think!
As I noted, mine does indeed activate the screensaver.
Why don't you consult your console logs? You might also create a new plain-vanilla user account and see if the problem exists with that new account.

Exact same issue here!
I think it has to do with some third party app. I've used Kuvvo to automatically get wallpapers from the net en change them.
After I decided to go back to my own wallpapers and removed the Kuvvo app, my wallpaper prefs is crashing.
I tried to reinstall Kuvvo with the hope of fixing broken links / references but to no avail!

IWeb stopped making thumbnails automatically - help!

I've been using iWeb for a couple weeks and when I write a blog entry, the photo I use on the entry page is automatically resized as a thumbnail and put on the index page. This is one of my favorite features. BUT! Yesterday it stopped doing this, and I don't know why or how to fix it despite searching everywhere.
Has anyone got any advice on how to fix?
Thanks!

Pixelgirl...
What happened is that you probably hit DELETE to take away the stock photo (skiers?) instead of simply dropping a new photo into the image placeholder box. This results in the image placeholder box getting deleted and the link to the preview image broken.
The only way to get the box back is to create a new entry and start that entry over. Don't hit DELETE! Just drag and drop a new picture in to replace the stock photo!

AS2 Screensaver

HI all,
I really need your help in making a screensaver in Flash Pro CS6 using AS2. Basically, what I have is a video which is my screen saver on the 10th frame. I want the screensaver to work so that if the mouse isn't clicked for 5 mins, the video is automatically shown. Obviously, if the mouse is pressed, the timer should be reset. I know at the moment that I need to use the onMouseDown function to reset the timer and the setInterval and clearInterval to set and reset the timer. However, I'm not sure how to put it all together. I'm guessing that the code would have to go on a separate layer on the timeline with one set of frames which covers the whole scene.
Thanks for your help

I need a clarification : Can I use EJBs instead of helper classes for better performance and less network traffic?

My application was designed based on MVC Architecture. But I made some changes to HMV base on my requirements. Servlet invoke helper classes, helper class uses EJBs to communicate with the database. Jsps also uses EJBs to backtrack the results.
I have two EJBs(Stateless), one Servlet, nearly 70 helperclasses, and nearly 800 jsps. Servlet acts as Controler and all database transactions done through EJBs only. Helper classes are having business logic. Based on the request relevant helper classed is invoked by the Servlet, and all database transactions are done through EJBs. Session scope is 'Page' only.
Now I am planning to use EJBs(for business logic) instead on Helper Classes. But before going to do that I need some clarification regarding Network traffic and for better usage of Container resources.
Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable
1) to get better performance and.
2) for less network traffic
3) for better container resource utilization
I thought if I use EJBs, then the network traffic will increase. Because every time it make a remote call to EJBs.
Please give detailed explanation.
thank you,
sudheer

Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable :
1) to get better performance
EJB's have quite a lot of overhead associated with them to support transactions and remoteability. A non-EJB helper class will almost always outperform an EJB. Often considerably. If you plan on making your 70 helper classes EJB's you should expect to see a dramatic decrease in maximum throughput.
2) for less network traffic
There should be no difference. Both architectures will probably make the exact same JDBC calls from the RDBMS's perspective. And since the EJB's and JSP's are co-located there won't be any other additional overhead there either. (You are co-locating your JSP's and EJB's, aren't you?)
3) for better container resource utilization
Again, the EJB version will consume a lot more container resources.

Need some help in creating Search Help for standard screen/field

I need some help in adding a search-help to a standard screen-field.
Transaction Code - PP01,
Plan Version - Current Plan (PLVAR = '01'),
Object Type - Position ( OTYPE = 'S'),
Click on Infotype Name - Object ( Infotype 1000) and Create.
I need to add search help to fields Object Abbr (P1000-SHORT) / Object Name (P1000-STEXT).
I want to create one custom table with fields, Position Abb, Position Name, Job. Position Abb should be Primary Key. And when object type is Position (S), I should be able to press F4 for Object Abb/Object Name fields and should return Position Abbr and Position Name.
I specify again, I have to add a new search help to standard screen/field and not to enhance it.
This is HR specific transaction. If someone has done similar thing with some other transation, please let me know.
There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
It's urgent.
Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

A search help exit is a function module for making the input help process described by the search help more flexible than possible with the standard version.
This function module must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. The search help exit may also have further optional parameters (in particular any EXPORTING parameters).
A search help exit is called at certain timepoints in the input help process.
Note: The source text and long documentation of the above-specified function module (including the long documentation about the parameters) contain information about using search help exits.
Function modules are provided in the function library for operations that are frequently executed in search help exits. The names of these function modules begin with the prefix F4UT_. These function modules can either be used directly as search help exits or used within other search help exits. You can find precise instructions for use in the long documentation for the corresponding function module.
During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
timepoints
The following timepoints are defined:
1. SELONE
Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
2. PRESEL1
After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
3. PRESEL
Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
4. SELECT
Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
5. DISP
Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
7. RETTOP
You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
9. CREATE
The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
10. APP1, APP2, APP3
If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
Hope this info will help you.

Steps for creation of search help exit for a search help

Hi,
I have created a search help. I need to create a search help exit for this search help.
Please let me know how to create a search help exit as well as how to link it to my search help.

1)Copy the FM F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE to write your own FM. (check the documentation and coding of FM F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE).
2)write your code depending upon the functionality you want.
3)attach the FM in search help through SE11 in "search help exit" field.

Value Transport (Exporting) to multiple screen fields in Search Help

Hi all,
I have created elementary search help using exit and attached it to data element. After F4 when I get hitlist I want all the values from the selected rows to get copied to the screen fields. I.e. I want the value transport.
In the search help I am exporting those values which I want to get copied back but I am unable to get the result.
With Regards,
Chandra

Hi,
You can get this behaviour only by making the SEARCH HELP assignment at the STRUCTURE level.
You need to create or use an existing structure to create your screen fields which you want to populate using the search help. Then assign this search help directly to the structure and there do the mapping between structure fields and the search help export params.
Only by doing this you can autopopulate the values using one search help.

Sesh
