Need help with menu ring or listbox control.

Hi,
I would like a menu ring style of control that does the following. Initially, items will be put into the control through a string array. That is no problem. But,in addition to being able to select any of the existing items, I would like the user to be able to enter a new item. Is this possible with any of the menu or listbox controls? I prefer the menu type controls as I like how when you click on the control you get a pop up of the items in the list, as opposed to the listbox where you have to scroll. Thanks for any help.

Not as such, but one alternative would be a combination of the menu ring and
a string. Place the string above the menu ring. When people select something
from the menu ring it's copied to the string and selected. When people type
something into the string, it's added to the menu ring if it's not already
there and again it's selected.
Bear in mind though that if a menu ring gets too large I suspect a scrollbar
will appear in it when it's popped up.

Need help with LabVIEW code for motor control.

Hi,
My name is Sasi. I am a BME grad student working on my thesis topic of evaluating spine implants for low back pain. For this I am building a test machine that would apply pure moments to a spine specimen. I am using LabVIEW 8.5 to implement control of a brushless AC servo motor. My requirement is,
Step 1: Initialize the motor.
Step 2: Start moving it at a uniform RPM to the right (This RPM value too user can enter).
Step
3: While doin Step 2; simultaneously read torque cell data (Using DAQ
asst.). DAQ o/p is from 0 V to 10 V; 0 V being -10 Nm n
10 V being +10 Nm
Step 4: When Torque value reaches +10 Nm, i.e 10 V, the motor stops.
Step
5: From the position where motor stopped (i.e no need to reset to
initial position) Start moving in the opposite direction at the same
uniform RPM as in Step 2 while reading torque cell data.
Step 6: Once again when torque reaches -10 Nm, i.e. 0 V, the motor should stop.
Step 7: Repeat 'Step 2' to 'Step 6' 3 times.
Step 8: Reset motor postion.
Till now I have managed to get the motor to move forward n backward @ a desired vel, accl, n deceleration for 3 cycles. I am attaching my code. I am having problem inserting the code for reading DAQmx amidst all this. Can anyone help me out.
Thnks,
Sasi.
Solved!

Hi Sasidhar,
I took a look at your problem and I think I have a workable solution for you. I definitely agree with Lynn's suggestion of using parallel loops. This will allow the DAQmx portion to run uninhibited by the motion portion, and vice versa. Plus, you only need to iterate the motion loop whenever the voltage level crosses a threshold. So, by iterating on the motion code in the same loop that you are iterating on DAQmx code, you are essentially wasting processor.
I created a VI that should do what you are wanting. I tested it out myself and it works great. You might have a tweak a few things to apply to your system (like motion board ID and DAQmx physical channel, etc.). I used two parallel loops and event-based programming. Basically the motion loop starts the motor spinning at the specified velocity. Once the motor is spinning, it waits for the DAQmx loop to tell it that the voltage value has crossed the threshold. When the voltage value exceeds the maximum threshold (which I set to a value slightly less than 10 to allow for jitter and saturation), the DAQmx loop signals the motion loop that it can finish its iteration. The motion loop stops the motion, reverses the direction, and starts the motion again. Once motion has started, it again waits for the DAQmx loop to tell it that a threshold has occurred, but this time, it is looking for a minimum threshold. I used "Occurrences" to implement the event-based programming in LabVIEW.
I have commented the code rather thouroughly, so hopefully the comments will answer any remaining questions. The benefit of using event-based programming for this is that you save processor time, and your motion is more closely synchonized with the DAQmx. Instead of iterating the motion loop as fast as you can, checking for updates each time, you just pause it, and wait for the other loop to tell you when to start up again. In the mean time, the processor doesn't have to worry about iterating that loop over and over again. Also, when the occurrence does occur, you catch it immediately, instead of having to wait until the next iteration. Thus, you are more closely synchronized with the DAQmx portion of the code.
I hope this will help you. Please post back if you have any questions about the code or its implementation. Good Luck!

Need HELP with menu integration

I have a project in which I am needing some seemless integration between movies and menus. Let me explain what I am doing. I am essentually imitating the actions of an iPhone or iPad in which you have the lock slide...icons appear...etc. What I did was create a flash file imitating these actions @ 720x480 then exported to a .MOV file. I then saved the last frame in Flash to a jpg, took into photoshop and created my buttons. See where this is going? So what I want is for the animation to play and end up with the menu (video to menu). My issue lies with the seemlessness of it. Currently when the transition happens from video to menu there is a black pause. I want it to be smooth from one to the other. I KNOW this can be done!! What am I doing wrong? I appreciate the help in advance.
Troy

I got my issue resolved (sort of). I used the suggestion of burning my project and playing on a DVD player to see if that
"black pause" went away and to my dissapointment it didn't. What I found worked though was shortening the duration of the first play
video under the properties -> motion tab.
Now another issue I am having is when I preview, everything looks great and to my intentions, but when burned and played on a DVD player the video is one size and the menu is a smaller size. They are both @ the same 720x480 size in Encore so why the difference when played doesn't make sense to me. Any ideas out there? I am not as savvy with this stuff as most on here, so hopefully what I am saying makes sense.
Thanx
Troy

I really dislike to update my iphone's software. I have Iphone 4S and I have been using voice memo to record lectures for sometime.
It was working well till updated my Iphone's software (IOS or whatever that is). Now I can't transfer my voice memo to my computer
and I have tried so many things people have suggested online which are 1. restart my mac book, 2. turn off and on my Iphone 3.
check voice memo when syncing my iphone with macbook. It is not working. Also, I totally messed my volume control. I went to
Genuis bar and the lady who helped told me that my Iphone has some issues before which is making my Iphone go nuts.
In short, 1. I cannot sync my voicemail
2. my volume does not work....i have to turn it on and off

New to Dreamweaver and need help with menu alignment in IE

Hi l,
I am new to Dreamweaver, in fact this is my first ever website / question...
I have just produced this site for a friend
http://www.grantgibsondesign.com/A_Morrow1/
I am happy with how everything looks in Firfox etc. however, with Internet Explorer my menu table alignment goes out the window!
Can anybody suggest a quick fix?
I produced it in dreamweaver CS3.
Thanks in advance
Gibo
[Subject edited for clarity by moderator]

I'm in the same boat that why I asked. I ran it through browsershots too and everything looked fine:
http://browsershots.org/http://www.grantgibsondesign.com/A_Morrow1/
Even went back to IE 6. Which is why I asked for a screenshot. If you can go back to the person who told you about the design flaw ask them for a screenshot. Otherwise I can't really do much more than shoot in the dark.

Need help with menu in BC?

I have set up a menu in BC, a screen grab is below.
Why do the end two menu items kitchens and bedrooms appear lower than the rest of the items in the same menu, there seems to be enough room?

Hi,
Thank you that would be great! The link is www.greystoneinteriors.co.uk
I also noticed that style issue in the drop down after the the new menu items were added in, but each one seems to appear differently which seems odd too? I've attached screen grabs of the menu style for reference?
Thanks

I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.

Hi, thanks for reading!
I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
I have a problem where I need to use a corporate designed
.swf in a digital signage solution, but have been told by the legal
department that it can not be modified in any way, I also can't
have the source file yada yada. I pulled the .swfs from their
website and I decompiled them to see what I was up against.
The main swf that I need to control is HCIC.swf and the
problem is it starts w/ a preloader, which after loading stops on a
frame that requires user input (button press) on a play button,
before the movie will proceed and play through.
What I have done so far is to create a container swf,
HCIC_container.swf that will act as Target for the HCIC.swf, and
allow me to send actionscript to the file I'm not allowed to
modify.
I managed to get that done with the help of someone on
another forum. It was my hope that the following script would just
start HCIC.swf at a frame past the preloader and play button, and
just play through.
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container",
getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("MCIC.swf", container);
function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
mc.gotoAndPlay(14);
But unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Because there
is a media-controller.swf, that is being loaded by HCIC.swf that
has the controls including the play button to start HCIC.swf.
Here's a link to a .zip file with all 3 .swf files, and all 3
.fla files.
http://www.axiscc.com/temp/HCIC.zip
What I need to do is automatically start the HCIC.swf file
bypassing the pre-loader and play button without editing it or the
media-controller.swf in anyway. So all the scripting needs to be
done in HCIC_container.swf.
I know this is confusing, and its difficult to explain, but
if you look at the files it should make sense.
ActionScripting is far from my strong point, so I'm
definitely over my head here.
Thanks for your help.

Got my solution on another forum.

Need help with almost completed plugin engine project

Hi all,
For a while now I have been working on a plugin engine. After a few iterations, the engine is similar to the Eclipse engine, in that plugins use extension points and extensions to allow contributions. Unlike the eclipse engine I have added the ability for plugins to fire events through the engine and other plugins can add listeners, all through the plugin.xml manifest. Dependencies are mostly handled automatically at plugin load time (when extensions get resolved to extension points, and listeners get resolved to events). For the case where a plugin needs to use classes from another plugin, dependencies are also allowed to be declared. Like the eclipse engine, activation of plugins occurs the first time a class is used within the plugin's classpath, OR a plugin can be activated after it is loaded.
What I need help with is testing, working on examples to provide with the engine project, and feedback/suggestions before we release the M1 build. I am asking for those that are interested in this type of work to volunteer to help where applicable and possible. I want to provide a solid plugin engine to the java community, one that is easy to use, works well, and is pretty effecient in terms of resource usage and performance.
Of particular interest to me right at the moment is dealing with multiple versions. As I see it, the engine will be used within an application and as such plugins would be distributed with a specific application version. The plugin version itself is more of a notification as to what version a plugin is, although I imagine it will help when updating at runtime as well.
Just a few other details of the engine. It handles (or will soon) dynamic load, unload and reload of plugins at runtime. Plugins can be distributed in an archive file format, we call .par (Plugin ARchive), with additional plugin filename extensions configurable at runtime. The plugins can be developed and deployed in an expanded directory format as they are in Eclipse as well, or in the archive format. In the archive format they do not need to be unzipped when deployed, and they can contain embeded jar/zip libraries. The engine handles finding and creating classes directly out of the .par file at runtime.
Multiple locations to find plugins are configurable before the engine starts, and even after it starts more could be added to allow additional locations to find plugins. URLs are supported, and soon the HTTP protocol will be supported so that plugins can be downloaded and installed at runtime.
The project can be found at www.sourceforge.net/projects/genpluginengine. If you would like to get involved and help out, please sign up on the dev mail list and send an email to introduce yourself to the rest of the members on the list.
I'll also add that I am working on a Swing UI Framework built entirely from plugins. It provides a ready-to-launce UI application that developers can simply add their plugins to, extending various extension points of the framework to have menu items, toolbar buttons, status bar access, help and preferences dialog additions, file i/o choosers, tons of open-source components ready to use (or extend to add on to), and like Eclipse, hopefully... draggable window frames that can be dropped on any other frame to form a tabbed frame of windows. Some of this is a ways off, some is getting there now. Presently you can add menu items that do allow plugin activation when first clicked, so plugins can be loaded but not activated until needed. The Preference dialog works but is not completed, and a plugin that adds a plugin control panel to view all loaded plugins, activate them, load/unload/reload, view extension points, extensions, dependencies, etc is partially completed. The point is, to allow a ready to run UI framework in Swing with an easy path for developers to quickly build applications with. If you are interested in this, when you join the mail list and introduce yourself, indicate that you are interested in this as well, as we need help with plugin development for it and would appreciate more help here too.
Look forward to some replies.

Might I suggest setting up a project at a known project-site? I've seen your progress and questions posted here from time to time, but one of the drawbacks is that you have to fill each post with the entirity of your vision to explain what you're doing. That's a lot of text to read - and most folks will skip right over it.
On the other hand, a well-crafted, good-looking project web-site, with appropriate links and docs and vision statements, diagrams, etc. will have more likelyhood of attracting volunteers. java.net and sourceforge.net are likely spots to set up shop. In addition, you get CVS and bug-tracking systems, which can be quite valuable in such a large-scale project where there are lots of pieces.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here

And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using
