MovieClipLoader - end of play flag

Hello all,
I am making a
movie slideshow viewer with sound. I would like the
functionality to be similar to a self-playing
still image slide viewer, but with each "movie slide" being
a small SWF movie with sound. Each of these individual "movie
slides" varies in length (time).
My plan was/is to create a "master.swf" which uses the
MovieClipLoader class to load in each of the individual "movie
slide" SWFs (which would be named "slave_0.swf", "slave_1.swf",
"slave_2.swf" etc...). The problem with this method is that I do
not know how to have my loaded SWF movie slide (slaves) "tell" the
"master.swf" file that, ok, I have loaded
and played my entire timeline, so it's ok to load up the
next slave. Is there a nice way to have the slave (loaded via MCL)
tell its master that it has finished playing its timeline and that
the master now needs to bring in the next slave?
Or, is it better to stream all of my SWF's into FLV files and
use a NetStream class?
Any info would be very much appreciated.

How would this function in the slave's last frame look?
Something that just sends a variable back up to the master, or
what?
> ...or you can initiate a loop in the master that
continually checks the play-progress of the slave.
How would this loop look? Some sort of OnEnterFrame deal?
Thanks for input thus far -- appreciated!

I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
any suggestions on how to fix?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

Delay-updates-until-end-of-tx flag behavior in WLS 6.1 SP4

Hi All!
I'm a bit in trouble with a strange behavior with the
<delay-updates-until-end-of-tx> tag.
I didn't find any message about my problem here around, so I don't
know if I missunderstand something. Has somebody had the same
(following) experience?
We are migrating from WLS 5.1 to WLS 6.1
We tried do keep ejbs "as are" in 5.1, so we're talking about EJB 1.1
on WLS 6.1: it should be allowed!
Everything works fine, but when a session bean (SL) modifies some
entity bean(CMP or BMP) and try to read from it in the same
transaction, read data are NOT up to date.
To solve this problem with WLS 5.1 we used the
delayUpdatesUntilEndOfTx tag, and it went fine, but with WLS 6.1 it
doesn't work, even if reading bea docs I understand it should.
Looking at the console, flags are correctly un-setted for the entity
beans we need, but the behavior is like if it wasn't.
Any idea?
Thanx in advance, Paolo.

Hi
Well, delay-updates-until-end-of-tx is setted tu false, so it
shouldn't wait 'til the end, but write immediately.
When I "read" I call finders.
Anyhow, I went on with tests, and tried to use EJB 2.0 entity beans,
and it works fine.
So now I have 1.1 session bean on 2.0 entity beans well working.
It seems that troubles are only with 1.1 entity beans on WLS 6.1.
1.1 entities on WLS 5.1, and 2.0 entities on WLS 6.1 are ok for me.
Maybe a bug?
Paolo.

Did u set delay-updates-until-end-of-tx to true or false?
When you do a "read", are you calling get cmp fields on the same bean instancesor
are you invoking finder methods?

ODI 11g SCD@ IKM is not updating End Time and Flag

I am implementing this IKM from Oracle ODI 11g and after executing it inserts a new row/dimension [which is correct] but sets the flag indicator for old and new ros both to '1' and Ending Timestamp value is not set for old row [I was expecting the ending timestamp will be updated ot todays timestamp but not happening]. I follwed all the steps mentioend in SCD2 [in this forum] and made the column behaviour to appropirate SCD Behavior. I do not have any "Update Row on change" but all the details are "Add row on change" apart from Starting Timestamp, ending timestamp and Current Indicator flag.
Can any one help me with this issue? Please let me know what details you need to debug or make analyze it.
Thank you and appreciate in advance for your help

I guess that is correct. 'historize old rows' was missing in my SCD2 [I have copied it from Oracle SCD2 and might have removed that command [??] But after your response, I checked and used the original SCD2 and it's working after fixing few issues with End Date in my data. Thanks .
'Mav (watch TopGun?)' ofcourse Yeah!!

End of image flag?

Am writing a stenography software (hobby) am kinda stuck, i need to know what kind of bytes does jpgs/bmp/gif have to determine eoi (end of image)

These file formats usually consist of a series of records, each starting with a type flag and length. You'll need to find the specification for each file if you're going to do it with the files. Actually I'd have thought you'd be better off loading the image into a BufferedImage and tweaking that rathere than processing the image files yourself. You can't put stenographic date into the control fields etc. anyway for obvious reasons.

I can't figure out how to get my music to shuffle on my iPhone 5s. If I try to skip a song, it skips about 100 songs. It only ends up playing 4 or 5 songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

I can't figure out how to get the music on my iPhone5s to shuffle. If I use the arrows to skip a song, it shuffles through a handful of the same songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Jump at end of play to the previous button pressed DVDSP4

I know this subject has been covered well but I still can't find the correct answer. Is there a way to return to the last button pressed in a menu without using scripts? I have only simple tracks and slideshows.
I have created two scripts that work very well for the tracks but the slideshows will not run he pre script and thus will not return to the last button pressed.
Any answers/help here will be greately appreciated.
Ken

This is Ken. I just found the answer to my problem by going back to the manual for the 1000th time. My jumps in the slideshows were all to the first slide which DFDSP4 says will not go to a pre-script. I found that the jumps could go to the word "slideshow" in each slideshow asset and in that format everything works as expected.
Sorry for this post but I've spent 2 days on this problem.
Regards, Ken

Latest Version of Player not playing YouTube videos to end.

Version 11,4,402,287 on Chrome and Safari play YouTube video short of end.
1080p is like 15 sec from end, 720p plays to 10 sec from end, 480p to end or just short of end.
Seems like a buffering problem.
But Version 11,5,31,101 on Chrome Canary plays fine.
Mac OSX 10.7.5

This sounds like a problem with the current version of the PPAPI version of Flash built into the Chrome browser (especially if this is fixed in a canary build.) Try installing the system plugin version and switching Chrome to that one to see if it helps.

How to Ignore chapter markers and play track without interruption to end

I have imported an FCP track with half a dozen markers in it.
In the main menu I link to this track and want to play it through in its entirety without stopping
In a separate Chapter Menu button, I link to a bunch of submenus so you can play each chapter separately.
Ever since putting in the submenus, the track won't play in its entirety and stops and goes back to the main menu when the play head hits the first chapter marker.
How can I make it do what I want?
Also, what is the accepted practice with chapters...does one set them to go right to the end of the track or just to come back to the submenu where they were first started?
TB

Yes, I did,, but in desperation, I removed all the menus except the main menu...so now I have
just a DVD with Two tracks in it. When I play the first track, it plays to the first chapter marker then suddenly jumps to the end and plays the last few secs....Do I need to start all over again with a fresh import?

Need help playing 2 SWFs in sequence

I have two SWFs that I want to play in sequence, using a
third SWF (that has nothing besides this code). This should be
simple -- play the first, wait for its timeline to end, then play
the second. Problem is I can't get the timeline to wait.
To load the first movie in frame 1, I have this, which works:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcHolder", 1);
var oListener:Object = new Object();
var mclLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mclLoader.loadClip("first movie.swf", mcHolder);
mclLoader.addListener(oListener);
In frame 10, I want to unload the first, then load the
second. That happens, but w/o waiting. Here's what I have, so far:
stop();
if (_level1.currentFrame == _level1.totalFrames) {
// unload first movie
mclLoader.unloadClip(mcHolder);
// now load next movie
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcHolder2", 1);
var oListener2:Object = new Object();
var mclLoader2:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mclLoader2.loadClip("second movie.swf", mcHolder2);
mclLoader2.addListener(oListener2);
I suppose there's something wrong with my If statement, but
what?

So other than the fact that my code was riddled with errors,
it was fine!
After implementing your instructions, I created an interval
that runs the if-then statement 10x a second, then cleared the
interval immediately after the If statement.
One more question, though: the reason I was unloading the
first movie was to clear up some memory. Are you saying that isn't
necessary, since I'm now loading the second movie into a higher
level?

Multiple copies of music on iPad, and some songs play as a different song

Hi,
I've been having this weird problem that I have been looking into for many times and never have found a straight answer.
I've been finding that I have multiple copies of the same song on my Music (built-in) app on the iPad 2. I don't know why it's been doing this. Yesterday, I finally got a chance to restore my iPad 2. After the restore, the same problem consisted. Not only has that been happening, but I also have been having another weird problem with the music app too. I have a song that I want to play , but it ends up playing a different song. For example, choose the song "we are the champions" or some song, and then it plays a different song like "We will rock you" or some other song. (it's not these songs, I don't have them in my library. They are just examples) but it keeps the name. So when the iPad "says" it's playing "we are the champions" it is actually playing "we will rock you" or any other song.
Sorry if I haven't made this clear enough. I tried the best I could. I have never had this problem until I updated to iOS 5. I am currently running iOS 5.0.1
Is there any way I can fix this problem I have been having? I already tried the restore. I don't know what else to do.

I'm not sure about the playing a different song when you choose a nother, but I Just figured out the multiple copies issue.I had been having the same problem and realize that some of the songs in that album were marked as "part of a compilation." SO i went to each individual song in that album and unchecked the box (when you go to th e"get info" screen) Hope that helps.

At the end of my patience with BT

Two weeks ago, a rushed delivery driver rounding the tight corner in the dark outside of my house crashed into my telegraph pole (actually on the roadside). It made a very loud noise, I rushed outside but he had driven away leaving part of the vans trim behind (which I have still got). I find it hard to believe that the instant problems that I have had with my telephone and broadband since then are not connected. Initially I noticed that the telephone line was very noisy, then I noticed that the broadband (usually 6.5-ish MBps) was much reduced - I used the BT Wholesale Speedtest and discovered that it was 3.9 MBps,
I contacted Technical help, going through the checks they identified that when we unplugged the broadband line the telephone instantly cleaned up, they ordered me a replacement Hub as they felt the original was faulty (they were not interested in the Telegraph pole story). The Hub arrived 2 days later and I fitted it - no change, I called in the problem again and spend a couple of hours going through all of the checks, including getting cut off a couple of times during transfers between Departments which necessitated calling in again, starting from scratch. It was suggested that the reduced IP profile and slow speeds was the result of the new Hub not being stabilised and so I was asked to leave it a few days, if it hadn't levelled out, call it in again.
It didn't magically mend itself. I spend another couple of hours trying to get to someone who can help but 'the script' is unavavoidable. I was cut off at least twice being transferred to 'Level 2' which meant 'start again from scratch'. Because of the noisy line and the amount of time involved I also tried the Online Live Chat on 3 or 4 occasions but was unable to get anywhere - it is so easy to get 're-queued' when the problem outstrips the agents grade, Everyone was very kind and caring using the exact same apologetic phrases, no-one owned the problem enough to solve it. I asked to be transferred to the department who would handle my cancellation, at last, someone based in the UK!! I vented my total frustration and she was most sympathetic, I explained that the offshore call-centre and the convoluted telephone system was not working for me, she was sure that the engineer who I had been allocated for the next day would sort everything out for me, on the spot. I relented putting my total disatisfaction down to the fact that within the last 10 days I had probably devoted 12 hours to simply reporting, testing, waiting on hold for an advisor, or using the Live Chat - like everyone else - I simply don't have time for that the week before Christmas. I am a Phone, Broadband and Vision customer, Vision is useless with low speed, phones are useless when so noisy, broadband is pointless when contantly dropping out.
The engineer visited, he replaced the main socket to a brand-new one as the existing socket (although the newer vision style, one socket above the other) was known to have issues. The phone was quiet, broadband showed 4.5 MBps but that was because the IP Profile was 4.5MBps - he suggeated I call it in and get the Profile reset. As he left I was on the phone, I waited 12 minutes to get through to 'stage 1' and noticed that as time passed the a noise started and grew to the same level as before his visit, I then spent another 3 hours reporting the problem, getting disconnected, starting again, getting cut-off when line testing whilst I was invited to accept a call on my mobile which being in a poor reception area was always going to be a bad option, then getting cut-off again between transfers to 'Level 2' and restarting the whole thing from scratch. Ultimately a very nice Level 2 lady promised me that unlike my experience to date, she would personally ensure that my Profile was improved and call me the next morning (today) between 9 and 10am to confirm everything was ok and if not, send out an engineer. By 10pm last night I indeed had a connection speed of 6.9MBps, the phone line was quiet, my Profile was 7.1MBps. She called this morning and I thanked her for her help and we went our seperate ways.
Twenty minutes after her call it rained, the phone line became very noisy, my connection speed dropped to 2.5MBps dropping out every 5 minutes, disaster. I called it in again, another wasted 2 hours that I will never get back, only cut off twice this time, on one occasion I got a voice mail message saying "we were cut off, call in again and someone will help you" I felt quite angry by that point. On my final try I got through to someone who listened and has arranged an engineer for Tuesday (Christmas Eve!) but that as he can see nothing wrong with the line, and as the noise cleared up during the course of our conversation, that I will possibly get charged £129 for the privilige. Throughout all of this, no-one would consider the Telegraph pole damage as a potention cause of a HR fault, especially in the presence of water from rain. I have tried to get it across but one of the Bangalore crowd just gave me Openreach's telephone number to get it sorted, I only realised that was a 'get rid of him' tactic when the chap at Openreach said that basically they only deal with poles knocked over or dangerous in some other way.
The last Adviser suggested I left it a few days and if not resolved call it in again, it was 13.03pm, I explained that it had taken from 10am to get to that stage with him, there was no way I was going to start from scratch reporting the same problem on Monday, he promised to call me on Monday (the day before the engineer visit was arranged) so we had time to cancel it if all was well (although as nothing was being done in the meantime, no IP profile reset etc it was most unlikely to mend itself by my past experience) He thought it was probably a faulty Hub, he asked me to refit the original which I did, the inevitabilty of the eventual fail is so draining.
I live in a Rural area, there is no fibre optic, I have spent the last few minutes prior to registering on this forum investigating Satellite Broadband. Why can BT simply not send one person, capable of broadband AND phone? Why is the Indian Call-Centre so regimented in adhering to a standard script showing almost no initiative. What ever happened to the UK Call-Centre? Most importantly, bearing in mind that my current fault is the same as it has been since the van-crash - what do you Moderators suggest that I get the engineer to specifically do if on Tuesday when he turns up he finds 'no-issue'? - ask him to wait for it to rain?
Apologies for this long rant but the inability to talk to a UK based, free-thinking Technical Help and Customer Service Departments must be costing a fortune. Forget the savings in running the technicians abroad, they cannot possible offset the wasted time, replacement equipment thats not needed, engineer visits that are not addressing the real issues (my first engineer was telephone, not broadband) and the resulting customer disatisfaction must force customers to leave BT in droves. I used to be with Plus Net and only transferred to get Vision, Bt own Plus Net, they could learn a great deal from their Customer Service model, this is all so sad.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Engineer called on Christmas Eve and diagnosed a HR fault which he struggled to find. In the end he re-routed the line feed back to the exchange (700 metres away), found the connection in the exchange, came back to the house and the phone line was silent and the broadband experienced a solid connection. Since then I have had a 4.8/4.9MBps connection as the IP profile is set at 5MB. I received a call from the Tech in Bangalore who put forward a reset for me but being by that time 5pm on Christmas Eve It would be unreasonable to expect it to be implimented before the end of play on Friday 27th - so I am being patient.
Many of us, who have vast experience, feel frustrated by the call-centre 'script' system that treats us all the same ("have you tried turning it off and on again? What colours are the lights on the front of the hub?"!!!) But just how do you get the Call Centre staff to appreciate that some of us can diagnose quite complicated problems on our own, and only contact them when we know an engineer is required on-site? Personally I would PAY to have a way of contacting a UK based BT Tech Support that could listen and respond appropriately, for BT, surely that would save them time and money too.
So other than the IP profile issue this is now solved, it was a High Resistance fault, I told them that when I first reported it on about 12th December (at which point the Bangalore Call Centre Chap said "what is a HR fault?" - I had to explain it). Since then I have spent probably 14 very frustrating hours on the telephone to BT (in the busiest week of the year), had two engineer visits (the first was a 'phone only' subcontractor not trained in broadband, the second fixed the issue) and I have also been supplied with a new Hub (which was unnecessary, I did point that out) and I am left feeling let down by their inability to listen and consider that the customer may have been right.
If the speed issue is not resolved I will re-post stage two of this saga, other than that I do hope that I do not need to come back to post on the forum again. Simple faults turn into extended and unbelievable drama thanks to the way BT organise their customer service nowadays, everyone has at least one story, some have many. I have 10 months of my contract left, maybe I should go back to PlusNet ? They have UK based sensible staff and when I have experienced a fault in the past I have left it to them to bludgen BT engineering into mending the infrastructure, saving me doing do the leg-work, wasting all this time and getting frustrated and stressed myself.
For those still struggling with the BT behemoth I sympathise, I hope that you are lucky enough to get through to someone who takes you seriously and does not let go of your problem until it is solved.
Lets all hope for a Happy, Prosperous and Fault-Free New Year!

Chp Play lists - how to play only one chapter at a time

CS4
The setup:
2 timelines
1 menu
1 chapter playlist
3 buttons (all, wedding, reception)
I'm not seeing how to make the DVD return to the main menu after playing chp 1 (Button 2 [wedding]), if user clicks button 2 which is linked to chapter 1 thru a playlist on timeline 1.
That is, I can set the end action of timeline 1, I can set the end action of the playlist, and I can set the end action of ch1 by way of the playlist panel.
It appears ch1 wants its end action set to start playing chp2 (button 3 [reception]) to provide thru play if the `All' (button 1) has been used.
How then can cause chapter one to be played and at the end return to main menu instead of going an to button 3 as It would if user had hit button 1.
(all).
What I end up with is a situation where if user wants to view only chapter 1 by hitting button 2 (wedding).... it still continues on to button 3 (reception) at the end.
Since I needed this project done now... I took the hardway around and ground out another piece of video containing only chapter 1.
Now I get the result I was after, but it seems very inefficient. Ch1 on in the playlist is just setting there unused and I suspect there is a smarter way to do it.
To cut down on the amont of data on the DVD, I guess I could have gone ahead and made a piece of video contaiing only ch 2 (button 3 [reception]).
But still that too, although I've saved considerable data being written to DVD, it still seems pretty inefficient. And I suspect the playlist is provided just so I don't have to do it this way.
Can anyone outline how to deal with multiple chapters so that the DVD returns to the main menu after chp1 or any other chapter that has chpters following it. (If user so desires)?

Stan Jones wrote:
The chapter playlist will be one chapter, which you appear to have set up.
Set the END ACTION of that CHAPTER PLAYLIST to last menu.
Yes I have. Are you saying that if I set the End action of ch_PlayList to last menu, that then when a user hits button 2 which is linked to chp1 on the playlist, that play will stop after chp1 (button 2) has played?
As apposed to what I have done as descripted... setting Ch_plylist end action to Main menu/default.
In that setup pressing buttob2 ends up playing right thru the whole thing rather than stopping at the end of ch1.
PS - I'm busily coping a project to a test area now, but how can test that without having to play clear thru chp1 to see what happens?
OH Wait.. are you saying NOT to include chp2 in the playlist?.... ahhh now that makes sense.
Thanks for the input.

How to set up start and end dates for validity of contract account in FICAx

Hi,
Can anyone tell me where can I set up the validitiy period for the contract account in FICA. In contract creation, I could just see the contract validity start date. I also need to know the validity end date. Please let me know the solution asap.
Points will be awarded for all the useful answers.
Thanks
Santosh

Yes, you're right, you would then need to develop a lot of user exits to prevent the re-use of the contract account after the validity date.
I'm think in a strange solution, it could work but you'll need to test it. if a contract account is marked for deletion (Field FKKVKP-LOEVM equal to 'X') no further action can be made over it, When you create you contract account you can schedule a change using as validity date (Field BUS000FLDS-VALDT ins the change contract account screen) to the end date of you contract account and set this deletion flag. then you run FPP2A to activate the schedule changes, before you get to the end date the flag is not set, when you get to the end date FPP2A will activate the flag and the contract account becomes not usefull.
If you do this, you have be careful because all the postings to the contract account won't be possible, it means that if there are payment to be made, interests to be calculated, etc... nothing will be posted.
Cheers,

Will play count and playhead position sync back to iTunes?

I have a bunch of smart playlists that contain all the unplayed episodes of my favorite podcasts. If I drag these onto the Shuffle, will the play count and playhead position from my Shuffle sync back to iTunes?
It seems like the answer is no -- this is really a one-way copy to the Shuffle, and not a "sync".

The iPod shuffle is supposed to maintain a "played" flag for played tracks. I don't know if podcasts will work the same way as normal tracks, but I can't think of a good reason why they wouldn't. Having said that, after the iTunes 8.1 update, my shuffle's marking the wrong tracks as "played" and leaving the actually played tracks unmarked, so until the iTunes team comes up with a fix for all the bugs they introduced in that update, anything goes.
