Moving and Arranging Objects?

I want to create a Flash animation in which a user has a
bunch of objects in front of them (say, four apples, five oranges
and three plums) and three containers. They can drag the objects
and put them in any of the three containers. How would I go about
creating the logic for this to work? Thanks.

You pretty much have the logic defined by what you just
described. The tools to make it a reality would involve the
startDrag() method, stopDrag() method, and dropTarget property.
When you drop an objet you need to test if it was released on a
valid dropTarget.

Moving and arranging folders

This should be very simple but I've been wrestling with this for quite a while and despite going to the books, the tutorials, etc., I cannot seem to solve this simple problem. Under folders I have, in red, a series of folders. I like to arrange my folders by date so I have 2007 and under that I have subfolders:
2007
utah
yardbirds
yellowstone
Now I also have the following:
2008-01-08-ant-ushuaia
2008-01-09-ant-at sea
2008-01-09-ant-new isle
etc etc
I would like to arrange it:
2008
antarctica
2008-01-08-ant-ushuai
2008-01-09-ant-at sea
etc etc
I cannot find a way to take these numerous daily antarctica files, put them under antarctica and collapse them, and put antarctica under the 2008 heading along with othe subsequent folders as the year progresses as is the case under 2007. When I try to move anything, red or white, I get a circle with an oblique line thru it. Can someone show me how this is done please?

You must first connect the folders in red with the underlying folders. You do this in LR by getting the contextual menu, and then navigating to the folder location.
Once this is done, you can move masses of files from one folder to another by selecting them in a folder, dragging one from the center of the image to where you want it.

Moving and copying objects

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WSd60f23110762d6b883b18f10cb1fe1af6-7e15a.html

Nice, but when zoomed out to let's say 80%, then the increment is 1,25px. What gives?
Where do i control increments on zoomed out percentages?

Can I create objects in Muse, assign them with a date/time and arrange on the page accordingly?

Hi,
Looking to get my site to a point where I can add content/posts to my pages daily but have the newest posts/content/objects at the top of the page.
At the moment I have to rearrange the content everytime.
It would make sense If I could group my objects, assign them a date/time and arrange them on the page accordingly. Once the page gets full it could then overflow to another page based on the master and so on. Without having to manually create the page and rearrange the contents. But I don't know if this is possible or completely stupid!!
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

Best practice for saving and recalling objects from disk?

I've been using the OOP features of LabVIEW for various projects lately and one thing that I struggle with is a clean method to save and recall objects.
Most of my design schemes have consisted of a commanding objects which holds a collection of worker objects. Its a pretty simple model, but seems to work for some design problems. The commander and my interface talk to each other and the commander sends orders to his minions in order to get things done. For example, one parrent class might be called "Data Device Collection" and it has a property that is an array of "Data Device" objects.
The Data Device object is a parent class and its children consist of various data devices such as "DAQmx Device", "O-Scope Device", "RS-232 Device", etc.
When it comes to saving and loading data, the commanding class's "Save" or "Load" routine is called and at that time all of the minions' settings are saved or recalled from disk.
My save routine is more-or-less straight forward, although it still requires an overwriting "Save" and "Load" vi. Here is an example:
It isn't too bad in that it is pretty straight forward and simple and there also would be no changes to this if the data structure of the class changed at all. It also can save more generalized settings from it's parrent's class which is also a good feature. What I don't like is that it looks essentially the same for each child class, but I'm at a loss on an effective way to move the handling of the save routing into the parent class.
The load routine is more problematic for me. Here is an example:
Again, the desirability of moving this into the parent class would be awesome. But the biggest complaint here is that I can't maintain my dynamic dispatch input-output requirements because the object that I load is strictly typed. Instead I have to rely on reading the information from the loaded object and then writing that information to the object that exists on the dynamic dispatch wire. I also dislike that unlike my Save Routine, I will need to modify this VI if my data structure of my object changes.
Anyway, any input and insight would be great. I'm really tired of writing these same VIs over-and-over-and-over again, and am after a better way to take care of this in the parent class by keeping the code generalized but still maintain the ability to bring back the saved parameters of each of the children classes.
Thanks for your time.

I'm with Ben. Don't rely on the current ability to serialize an object. Create a save method and implement some form of data persistence there. If you modify your class you might be disappointed when you cannot load objects you previously saved. It mostly works but as soon as you reset the version information in the class, you can no longer load the old objects. This is fine if you know how to avoid resetting the history. One thing that will do this is if you move the class into or out of a library. It becomes a new class with version 1.0.0 and it no longer recognizes the old objects.
[Edit: I see that you are just writing to a binary file. I'm not sure you can load older objects anyway using that method but I have never tried it.]
This will not help you right now but there are plans for a nice robust API for saving objects.

Infocubes and info objects

Hi guys,
i'm new to BI. can any one differentiate between Infocubes and info objects..
please be a bit specific.....

Hi,
An InfoCube describes (from an analysis point of view) a self-contained dataset, for example, for a business-orientated area. You analyze this dataset in a BEx query.
An InfoCube is a set of relational tables arranged according to the star schema: A large fact table in the middle surrounded by several dimension tables.
Use
InfoCubes are filled with data from one or more InfoSources or other InfoProviders. They are available as InfoProviders for analysis and reporting purposes.
Structure
The data is stored physically in an InfoCube. It consists of a number of InfoObjects that are filled with data from staging. It has the structure of a star schema.
The real-time characteristic can be assigned to an InfoCube. Real-time InfoCubes are used differently to standard InfoCubes.
ODS versus Info-cubes in a typical project scenario
ODS
why we use ods?
why is psa & ods nessasary
InfoObject: Basic building block of BW.. ( Its like a field )
Definition
Business evaluation objects are known in BI as InfoObjects. They are divide into characteristics (for example, customers), key figures (for example, revenue), units (for example, currency, amount unit), time characteristics (for example, fiscal year) and technical characteristics (for example, request number).
Use
InfoObjects are the smallest units of BI. Using InfoObjects, information is mapped in a structured form. This is required for constructing InfoProviders.
InfoObjects with attributes or texts can themselves also be InfoProviders (if in a query).

Problem in moving Rotated Shape object

Hi All,
I want to move the rotated shape object based on the mouse movement
m able to move the object which is not rotated, but m facing the problem when i move the rotated object its moving position is not correct . I am expecting to maintain both shape objects movement is same, i mean if i did mouse movement to right rotated object moves upwards and normal object moves towards right insted of moving both r moving towards to right.
Pls help me

Moving and copying selections - taking out a back drop

I want to take out a photo of lady in Chapter Moving and copying selections.....in a family photo - please

Try this in order to transfer a person from one picture to another
In Editor, go to the expert tab.
Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.
If you want to "remove" someone from a group shot, select something else from an adjacent area on the picture or from another picture, then copy/paste it on a blank layer at the top and position it with the move tool to cover over
For additional guidance, it would help if you post the picture and tell us precisely what you wish accomplish.

Input Monitoring, and Audio Objects- help?

Hi!
First part:
Input Monitoring. I am used to Input Monitoring (live signal) overriding printed material (regions). I thought that if I had Auto Input Monitoring disabled, and if I would engage Input Monitoring on an Audio Track, ONLY the Live input would pass; any regions on the track would not sound...put simply, engage Input Monitor flicks a switch from regions to Live Input. But, it does not. The ONLY ways I have found to have JUST the live signal is to mute all regions, or actually record on the track. How SHOULD it work?
Audio Objects and Arrange tracks:
If I have 3 audio tracks in the Arrange window, and I assign them all to say, Audio Object 1; why do the Arrange window audio tracks not operate independently? If I solo one, all three solo. If I mute one, they all do. Even worse, if I Rec enable one, all three do!
I thought that Arrange window Audio tracks were independent, and operated as such. Assign tracks to multiple Audio Objects, or to the same, it did not matter. Part of the brilliance of it (I thought, initially) was how you could have different "versions" of a track feeding a single Object, and then priority would determine what actually plays back; but that is not how it works? Part of my delusion, it seems, was that when you mute or solo a track in the Arrange, there is a pause, and if I then do so in the Mixer it is much, much faster, which is due to the Arrange tracks being different...or not? Seems the answer to that incurs a penalty in one case, but not another, and that makes NO sense. Where did I go wrong?
Sorry for the wicked long post, but I see these both as related, and I would love to know why this stuff looks incredibly flexable and powerful on paper, but in practice, it is nothing short of frustrating, with very little benefit over other apps...maybe worse than some other apps...

Hi!
Thx for the reply! I seem to be find the odd questions...
Sampleconstruct wrote:
Click on the track with the regions you want to solo/mute->all regions in that track get selected->use the keycommands for Solo (S by default) and Mute (M by default). Then only the highlighted regions in that track will play/mute
That works well, and I could handle using it as a workflow. But, when one wants to retain individual mute states of specific regions on that track, this would alter that when unmuting. The tip below would be a viable alternative, but...
Sampleconstruct wrote:
Also have you tried the two different modes for Solo/Mute which can be set in Logic Audio Prefs? "CPU save mode" makes the tracks assigned to the same Audio object independent from each other - "Fast"-mode makes them all dependent, so try CPU save mode.
That I did not realize. However, if I rec or input enable, no matter what ALL Arrange tracks assigned to the same Audio Object rec/input enable. Any way to stop that that? Or is that just an "idiot-synchrocy" of Logic 8? (coulda sworn 7 did not do that?) Take recording is cool, but sometimes I might want to have alternates on a seperate track. It seems to defy the reasoning behind addressing Audio Objects...

Issues in persisting dynamic entity and view objects using MDS

Hi All,
I'm trying to create dynamic entity and view objects per user session and to persist these objects throughout the session, I'm trying to use MDS configurations(either file or Database) in adf-config.xml.
I'm facing following two errors while trying to run the app module:
1. MDS error (MetadataNotFoundException): MDS-00013: no metadata found for metadata object "/model/DynamicEntityGenModuleOperations.xml"
2. oracle.mds.exception.ReadOnlyStoreException: MDS-01273: The operation on the resource /sessiondef/dynamic/DynamicDeptEntityDef.xml failed because source metadata store mapped to the namespace / DEFAULT is read only.
I've gone through the following links which talks about the cause of the issue, but still can't figure out the issue in the code or the config file. Please help if, someone has faced a similar issue.

Hi Frank,
I m trying to save entity and view object xml by calling writeXMLContents() and saveXMLContents() so that these objects can be retrieved using the xmls later on.
These methods internally use MDS configuration in adf-config.xml, which is creating the issue.
Please share your thoughts on resolving this or if, there is any other way of creating dynamic entity/view objects for db tables created at runtime.

BI-IP and Business Objects?

Please refer to the thread:
BI-IP and Business Objects?

Ian,
reading through the messages, there seem to be a few questions that are raised. After attending SAP Financials 2008, here is what I got from it:
1. IP vs BPC: IP is still in production and will be developed (no commitment on time though. I was told somewhere between 18-24 months before it goes to maintenance mode). There is some functionality difference from BPC and right now these are two separate products. There is a talk of a possible integration in the "distant" future
2. BPC is in process of being developed for BI, but currently it is only running on top of Microsoft SQL server. The BI version is slated to be released June 28th, but majority of the experts are fairly pessimistic about that date.
Now, the main question is what will happen to IP when BEx and BO tools converge into one - based on my understanding, we are going to see ADDITIONAL functionality. Since all the WAD and Excel activities are based on BEx API's, it is highly unlikely that they are going to be dismissed in the new product. The process in which we assign functions/commands to the planning model might change, but I think only for the best

Difference b/w DATA TYPE and DATA OBJECT & differences b/w TYPE and LIKE

hai
can any one say the differences between Data type and Data Object.
And also differences between TYPE and LIKE
thanks
Gani

hi,
_Data Types and Data Objects_
      Programs work with local program data that is, with byte sequences in the working memory. Byte sequences that belong together are called fields and are characterized by a length, an identity (name), and as a further attribute by a data type. All programming languages have a concept that describes how the contents of a field are interpreted according to the data type.
      In the ABAP type concept, fields are called data objects. Each data object is thus an instance of an abstract data type. There are separate name spaces for data objects and data types. This means that a name can be the name of a data object as well as the name of a data type simultaneously.
Data Types
   As well as occurring as attributes of a data object, data types can also be defined independently. You can then use them later on in conjunction with a data object. The definition of a user-defined data type is based on a set of predefined elementary data types. You can define data types either locally in the declaration part of a program using the TYPESstatement) or globally in the ABAP Dictionary. You can use your own data types to declare data objects or to check the types of parameters in generic operations.
     All programming languages distinguish between various types of data with various uses, such as .. type data for storing or displaying values and numerical data for calculations. The attributes in question are described using data types. You can define, for example, how data is stored in the repository, and how the ABAP statements work with the data.
Data types can be divided into elementary, reference, and complex types.
a. Elementary Types
These are data types of fixed or variable length that are not made up of other types.
The difference between variable length data types and fixed length data types is that the length and the memory space required by data objects of variable length data types can change dynamically during runtime, and that these data types cannot be defined irreversibly while the data object is being declared.
Predefined and User-Defined Elementary Data Types
You can also define your own elementary data types in ABAP using the TYPES statement. You base these on the predefined data types. This determines all of the technical attributes of the new data type. For example, you could define a data type P_2 with two decimal places, based on the predefined data type P. You could then use this new type in your data declarations.
b. Reference Types
Reference types are deep data types that describe reference variables, that is, data objects that contain references. A reference variable can be defined as a component of a complex data object such as a structure or internal table as well as a single field.
c. Complex Data Types
Complex data types are made up of other data types. A distinction is made here between structured types and table types.
Data Objects
      Data objects are the physical units with which ABAP statements work at runtime. The contents of a data object occupy memory space in the program. ABAP statements access these contents by addressing the name of the data object and interpret them according to the data type.. For example, statements can write the contents of data objects in lists or in the database, they can pass them to and receive them from routines, they can change them by assigning new values, and they can compare them in logical expressions.
       Each ABAP data object has a set of technical attributes, which are fully defined at all times when an ABAP program is running (field length, number of decimal places, and data type). You declare data objects either statically in the declaration part of an ABAP program (the most important statement for this is DATA), or dynamically at runtime (for example, when you call procedures). As well as fields in the memory area of the program, the program also treats literals like data objects.
        A data object is a part of the repository whose content can be addressed and interpreted by the program. All data objects must be declared in the ABAP program and are not persistent, meaning that they only exist while the program is being executed. Before you can process persistent data (such as data from a database table or from a sequential file), you must read it into data objects first. Conversely, if you want to retain the contents of a data object beyond the end of the program, you must save it in a persistent form.
Declaring Data Objects
      Apart from the interface parameters of procedures, you declare all of the data objects in an ABAP program or procedure in its declaration part. These declarative statements establish the data type of the object, along with any missing technical attributes. This takes place before the program is actually executed. The technical attributes can then be queried while the program is running.
     The interface parameters of procedures are generated as local data objects, but only when the procedure is actually called. You can define the technical attributes of the interface parameters in the procedure itself. If you do not, they adopt the attributes of the parameters from which they receive their values.
ABAP contains the following kinds of data objects:
a. Literals
Literals are not created by declarative statements. Instead, they exist in the program source code. Like all data objects, they have fixed technical attributes (field length, number of decimal places, data type), but no name. They are therefore referred to as unnamed data objects.
b. Named Data Objects
Data objects that have a name that you can use to address the ABAP program are known as named objects. These can be objects of various types, including text symbols, variables and constants.
Text symbols are pointers to texts in the text pool of the ABAP program. When the program starts, the corresponding data objects are generated from the texts stored in the text pool. They can be addressed using the name of the text symbol.
Variables are data objects whose contents can be changed using ABAP statements. You declare variables using the DATA, CLASS-DATA, STATICS, PARAMETERS, SELECT-OPTIONS, and RANGESstatements.
Constants are data objects whose contents cannot be changed. You declare constants using the CONSTANTSstatement.
c. Anonymous Data Objects
Data objects that cannot be addressed using a name are known as anonymous data objects. They are created using the CREATE DATAstatement and can be addressed using reference variables.
d. System-Defined Data Objects
System-defined data objects do not have to be declared explicitly - they are always available at runtime.
e. Interface Work Areas
Interface work areas are special variables that serve as interfaces between programs, screens, and logical databases. You declare interface work areas using the TABLES and NODESstatements.
What is the difference between Type and Like?
Answer1:
TYPE, you assign datatype directly to the data object while declaring.
LIKE,you assign the datatype of another object to the declaring data object. The datatype is referenced indirectly.
Answer2:
Type is a keyword used to refer to a data type whereas Like is a keyword used to copy the existing properties of already existing data object.
Answer3:
type refers the existing data type
like refers the existing data object
reward if useful
thanks and regards

Newbie question about entity and view objects

Hi everyone,
My first ADF application in JDeveloper is off to a difficult start. Having come from a forms background, I know that it is necessary avoid using post-query type lookups in order to have full filtering using F11/Ctrl+F11. This means creating an CRUDable view and getting as much of the lookup data as possible into the view without losing the ability to modify the data. In JDeveloper, I do not know how to build my data model to support that. My thought was to start with a robust updateable view as my main CRUD EO and then create a VO on top of that with additional EOs or VOs. But, I have found that I cannot add VOs to another VO. However, if I link the VOs then I have a master-detail which will not work for me.
For example, I have two joins to CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V shown in the queries below and need to have that show in the table displaying the CRUD VO’s data. It seemed that the best way to do this is to create a CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V entity object and view object. The view object would have two parameters, P_INSTANCE_ID and P_ATTRIBUTE name. Both the building and the unit are needed on the same record, and this is not a master-detail even though it might look that way. (A master-detail data control will not work for me because I need all this data to appear on the same line in the table.) So, I need help figuring out the best way to link these to the main (CRUD) view; I want as much of this data as possible to be filterable.
select
cieav.attribute_value
from
csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
and cieav.attribute_code = 'BUILDING NAME'
select
cieav.attribute_value
from
csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
and cieav.attribute_code = 'UNIT NAME'
Ultimately, I need to display a ton of data in each record displayed in the UI table, so a ton of joins will be needed. And, I need to be able to add records using the UI table also.

Hi Alejandro,
Sorry if I caused confusion with my first post. What I had in mind assumed that I could have a single CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V EO with a BuildingVO and UnitVO on top of it. So, I wrote the queries individually to show how I would invoke each view. When I realized that confused the issue, I rewrote the query to explain things better.
Now having seen your 2 queries. You need to create 2 EO. One for each table. Then create an association between the 2 aeO (this will be the join you are talking about). Then, you need to create a VO based on one of the EO and after you can modify and add the second EO (in here you select the join type).
After your done with this, youll have 1 VO that supports CRUD in both tables.
There were three tables in the query: CIEAV_BUILDING, CIEAV_UNIT, and T -- the main CRUD table. When you say that I should create two EOs, do you mean that they are to be for CIEAV_BUILDING and CIEAV_UNIT? Or, CIEAV and T? Assuming CIEAV and T, that sounds like it would allow me to show my building or unit on the record but not both.
By the way, everything is a reference except for the main CRUD table.
Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your help (and patience).

When I try to open any kind of links, the page first shows me "the document has moved" and then goes on to some advertisement page.

When I follow any kind of links or try to open something in another window or new tab, the browser first shows the white page with text "the document has moved", and then moves to advertisement page of some sort. Usually in the small box where the page description is it says "Jump". I don't know how to disable it, it is really irritating.

Sounds like Malware.
