Need help with moving objects

Hello, i'm new to java and i'm building applets with eclipse. I'm stuck on how to move and object to the left of the screen i can move it right of the screen with the
blueTriangle.slowMoveXPosition(50);
but how do i move it back again say 50. I know this easy stuff for you guys.
Do i have to put something on negative positions in the triangle class file?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

blueTriangle.slowMoveXPosition(50); What class is this 'blueTriangle' reference talking about?
I doubt it's a standard one which anyone here would know about. I bet it's something your school provided instead, or another 3rd-party. So ask them.

  • Needing help with moving pictures around

    I am in need of help in moving pictures and images around
    dreamweaver document window. My older brother gave me his computer
    witch has dreamweaver MX (he is in Irag) so i can start building
    building my own websites. I went to borders and bought a book on
    dreamweaver MX. Here is where I am having a problem with: when ever
    I bring a picture into the document window I can not move the
    picture around the document window. The book say "place the
    insertion point where you want the image to appear" but there is no
    insertion point. There is just a straight line as if I am about to
    type something. It's almost like I am in microsoft word. If I take
    the mouse over the picture , and then left click and try to drag
    the picture to the location I want it in, it doesn't move. Can
    somebody PLEASE help me out with this problem. Thanks Jical

    Nadia gave you a good place to start… Here is what you
    have to understand. Web pages are based on specific code that tells
    the viewer’s browser how to display the page. There has to be
    something that says, “Put this picture in the lower right
    hand corner, and center this image in the middle of the
    screen”
    Then there are further instructions that say “Put this
    text here and that link there”. So Dreamweaver (and most
    other web developing programs) do not work like Illustrator or
    PowerPoint where you can simply grab a picture and slide it around
    the page.
    In its simplest form you might drag an image onto the
    Dreamweaver design view page and click on the center button in the
    properties dialog.
    Then type in text and center it, left justify, right justify,
    etc. Add another picture and so on and you could possibly create a
    passable web page. Now click on the Code view button and see what
    code Dreamweaver generated in order to do all of this.
    That is what you will really need to understand before you
    can really get proficient at web design.
    At the next level, you can start to add in tables. These
    actually are similar to tables in Word. You can put text in one
    cell, images in another, colored backgrounds, thick and thin
    borders with contrasting colors, and you can start to see how to
    “contain” your images as Nadia suggests.
    Now look at the code again and see how these cells are
    defined around your content.
    Once you understand how this works, you will get much more
    comfortable with Dreamweaver. You will just have to get used to the
    idea that it doesn’t work like all of the publishing software
    that is only dependant upon its own format for layout. HTML is
    dependant upon the many browsers, computers, operating systems,
    user preferences, and a million other unknown factors.

  • I need help with moving my iTunes library to a new disk...

    I'm soon gonna get a new SSD which is half the size of my HDD. So i guess i wont be able to restore with time machine or use disk utility to clone the drive. I'll have to start with a fresh copy of moutain lion.
    What I'll want to do is that keep all my music on my ssd and let all the podcast and itunes u be on an external hdd.
    can someone outline the steps to...
    create a library on the ssd on which os x is installed.
    move music, playlists and apps.
    let the podcast and itunes u be on an external hdd and yet be accessible from itunes, like being referenced.
    in the past i did this by moving the entire library to the internal drive and then while itunes was running, move the videos from the library folder to the external drive. it autoMAGICALLY was able to find the videos on the external drive while my music and apps were stored in the internal.
    now my library size is so big with all the videos that i cannot do the above steps as i want be able to copy the entire library to the internal ssd.
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks in addvace.

    Sometimes we sleep.  We have even been known to be away from the keybord to bathe (but usually not for longer than 2 minutes once a week ).
    I don't know how you automagically did it last time - your details are lacking.  iTunes is normally terrible at following you moving things, especially from drive to drive.  You either have to let iTunes do the moving (by consolidating to a new location) or you have to disable iTunes managing your media in which case it will follow moving inside a drive but still not between drives.
    Despite the new version, iTunes still does not make it easy to split your library between drives.  Probably since you only buy your items from iTunes and are never away from a high speed Internet connection it doesn't matter since you can always stream or download items you need from your Match subscription, right?

  • I need help with a Object Array

    I am having trouble and this maybe really simple seeing that I am fairly new to java but I have text that is being broken down in to preset part with those parts stored in Object arrays.
    Now I also have a object array inside my object array. Within the second object array are the broken down parts of the text and I want to compare this text with another string so for example this is what I am trying
    boolean found = false;
    for (int i = 0; i < FirstObjectArray.length ;i++)
         Object[] SecondObjectArray = (Object[]) FirstObjectArray;
         if(SecondObjectArray[0] == "string")

    sharkura said all the OP needs at the moment. I just wanted to clarify a bit why You don't use == 99.999% of the time with objects, and never with String.
    I have argued elsewhere in these forums that it is inappropriate to tell anyone that you never use == to compare objects. This has not always been accepted. I have, on rare occasions, known experienced developers to blindly compare two objects with equals(), and cite the professor that taught them, 15 years iin the past, that object references are never compared using ==, but always with equals().
    However, the cases where == is appropriate and equals() is not are indeed rare, but not, in my experience, non-existent. In my statement, I probably exaggerated. And String is a case where I can probably accept that you will probably never go wrong with equals(). If the String has been pooled (see String::intern()), you can actually use either. From the javadocs: "*It follows that for any two strings s and t, s.intern() == t.intern() is true if and only if s.equals(t) is true.*"

  • Need help with moving sight over to Iweb

    I would like to start using IWeb but I already have a website built that I used Frontpage to create. I want to make some changes to the sight so if I cannot convert some of the things I have, Im ok with adapting!
    www.DarnGoodSeasoning.com
    1st question: (Visit site above) if you hover over the links on the left they turn green Can I do that in Iweb? I figured out how to do it with font but not pictures. I have the .gif of each in yellow and green.
    2nd When I have created pages in the past www.HeyRobi.com It changes the name in the address bar to http://heyrobi.com/Mac/HeyRobi.html Call me petty but I want it to say HeyRobi.com can I fix that?
    Thanks in advance for any help or tips. If there is any advice or tips how to improve the Darn Good site I am always up for constructive criticism. BTW I am dropping the frames!
    TIA HeyRobi

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. 1 - The rollover options are only available for text, not images.
    2 - To get must HeyRobbi.com to show in the URL window you'll need to use standard domain name forwarding with masking. Then every page of your site will display only that. The downside to that is visitors will be able to only bookmark the first or entry page of your site. That may or may not be a problem for you. My tutorial site, toadstutorials.info, is setup with masking.
    The following is a screenshot of how I setup my site with GoDaddy.com for forwarding and masking. Although every domain name provider is different your's will have a similar setup for you to set the masking for your domain name.

  • I just upgraded to CP 5. Need help with drawing objects.

    I am trying to put a simple drawing object around a word.  Like a square.  I can't figure out how to not have any fill, just the outline of the box.  Any suggestions?  I was able to do this in CP 4.

    Hi there
    Personally, I'd use a Highlight Box to accomplish this. But that's just me.
    Here are the steps for a square drawing object. I'll assume you have already inserted the object and placed it and all you want are instructions for dealing with the fill.
    Look inside the properties inspector at the Fill & Stroke section. Click the Fill color and configure Alpha to 0%.

  • Need help with Calling objects

    I have created an object named "user" and I currently have 1 Frame in my program. The first frame is called "LogonFrame" and the second is called "UserDataFrame".
    In the main method of the application I declare a "User" object as user and then call LogonFrame to retreive the logon_name and password from the user. The logon_name and password will be placed in the User object to be accessed throughout the application.
    When I compile the application I receive the following error message:

  • Need help with moving items betwen 2 netui select boxes

    Hi,
    I have 2 multiple select boxes for possible courses and assigned courses. I need a way to implement move of option items from one box to another using buttons. The user can select courses from one box and move them to another. I am not sure how I would do that with netui select boxes and a pageflow method. If I use javascript, i get all kinds of errors even though I am trying to use the tagid. If validation fails, then the select boxes dont save the updated content.
    Please help.

  • Need help with class object? Please somoen

    hey guys,
    It's been few days since i'm working on making a small bingogame program but i'm getting stuck frequantly.
    I've different classes, in the main class i'm asking the user to input number of players who would like to play then i'm asking the player's name and how many bingoCards each player wants.
    I'm stroing all that info in a BingoPlayer class's array object. But for some reason when i get out from the loop and try to retrive the info from that array it only gives me the last input entry (player's name & number of cards) at any index of the array.
    Can please someone tell me how i can store the given information for each player in that object array on different indices of the array?
    I'm providing the code where i've the problems:
    public class BingoGame
        public static BingoPlayer players[] = new BingoPlayer[5];
        public static void main() throws IOException {
            int numPlayers = 0;
            int numCards [] = new int [5];
            String name [] = new String[4];
            BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in)); //allows input
    // ask for the number players who wants to play
            System.out.print("Please enter the number of players in this game (2-5): ");
            numPlayers = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
    // make sure the entered value is within range
            while (numPlayers < 2 || numPlayers > 5) {
                System.out.println("Invalid number of players ");
                System.out.print("Please enter the number of players in this game (2-5): ");
                numPlayers = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
            System.out.println();
    //ask for the names and numebr of cards for entered number of players
    // and make sure the number of cards are within the range,
    //and assign the players that many cards using the BingoPlayer object 
            for (int i = 1; i <= numPlayers; i++) {
                System.out.print("Please enter name of player " + i + " : ");
                name[i] = input.readLine();
                System.out.println();
                System.out.print("Please enter the number of cards (1-5) for player " + i + " : ");
                numCards[i] = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
                while (numCards[i] < 1 || numCards[i] > 5) {
                    System.out.println("Invalid number of cards for the player " + i);
                    System.out.print("Please enter the number of cards (1-5) for player " + i + " : ");
                    numCards[i] = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
                System.out.println();
                players[i] = new BingoPlayer(name, numCards[i]);
    * here it only prints out the information for the last player, instead it should return the information for both of the player
    for (int k = 1; k <= numPlayers; k ++) {
    System.out.println(players[k]);
    //players[k].genCards();
    for example if i enter 2 players:
    Player1: name: Jami, number of cards 1
    Player2: name: Joey, number of cards 2
    in the last loop it just prints out :"Joey, 2" 2 times instead of printing out: "Jami, 1" & "Joey, 2"
    Please someone help! i really need to complete this within 2 days. Thanks in advance

    Without seeing BingoPlayer's implementation, all it
    would be would be a guess.
    My guess: The name and numCards members of that class
    are declared as static, so all instances share the
    same values.Thanks it worked, declaring them static was the main probelm..thank you very much

  • Need Help with moving to an iMac.

    Hey,
    right now I'm writing from my old PC, I've orderd the new iMac 5K with upgrades like 16 GB ram' 3TB fusion drive and intel i7 so it means it takes more time.
    I've never had a Mac and I actually bearly used one, but since for the past 4.5 years I've been using iPhone and 2 years iPad and I really enjoy Apple's eco system and contuity feature I decided to make the switch.
    but because I don't have a lot of friends with Macs and I never used one I have some questions:
    1.) Can 'pages' show me a .docx files without make them look wierd as it does so on the iPad?
    2.) I saw a lot of ways to move my files (which I really need since I'm a student) to the Mac but I'm really not sure which one is the best for me. I need to move a full iTunes library, word and powerpoint docs, photos, movies and my Explorer 'Favorites'.
    3.) In my past computer (not these one the one before) I had a lot (a lot) of viruses so now I have East Nod32 8 and its protecting my computer fully. should I buy a liecence for the Mac or as I saw posts online Mac don't need an anti virus?
    4.) I heard that there's going to be 'office 2016' for OS X so I really thinking about purchesing it when it'll come. is office for mac works ok or it is a waste of money?
    5.) I would like to use 'BootCamp' to have windows since some of my software doesn't support OS X, how much space should I give it?
    6.) As I wrote here above I've never had a Mac before, what should I know about the software and the iMac 5K hardware?
    (sorry if my question is too long...)

    Hey Biransider,
    I’m in the same boat as you; recently got rid of all Winders boxes and opted for the iMac 5K and I picked up that new 12” macbook. However, this is not my first mac, and had a 2010 MBA for the past five years. I also already received my iMac 5K and it's just plain great!
    I’ll skip the obvious ones already answered.
    2) You can try the migration assistant (never bothered) but with your specific requirements you can do this all with a simple external HDD or even thumb drive. The biggest thing with storage you have to understand between Winders and Mac is they use a different file system. Winders = NTFS, MAC = Mac OS Extended format as defaults for anything this century. You Mac can read NTFS formatted drives, but cannot write. There is middle ground; FAT32, a very old file system, can be written and read from both Winders and Mac, however it does not support a single files that are over 4GB in size (single 4GB+ file). So do you have an external HDD lying around? It’s likely formatted in NTFS for Winders. Just copy your files there and your Mac can copy them over. When you’re all done with Winders, I would reformat that external HDD with Mac OS Extended (journaled) so you can read/write to in going forward.
    3) I’ve never once purchased antivirus software for my 2010 MBA and used it daily. Winders, I would not let it join the Wi-Fi network before it had AV
    4) Office 2016 is currently in FREE preview mode right now. http://products.office.com/en-us/mac/mac-preview I have it running and it’s 100% free until they go live in June. I would not get the current Office 2011, get the free preview for now, and just buy the license in June; no reinstall needed, just buy the license in June.
    5) the Drivers and software Apple used to make bootcamp work so well puts the HDD size requirement well above Winders “minimum system requirements” I believe it burned 55GB just for the Winders 7 on my iMac.
    6) Did you also upgrade to the graphics card to the Radeon M295X? From a GPU processing standpoint, that is a big upgrade from the standard M290X it has by default. If you plan on doing ANY modern 3d gaming or video editing I highly recommend you update your order and get the updated GPU. Honestly, unless you plan on running a bunch of virtual machines at the same time on your iMac, I’d dump the memory upgrade for the GPU upgrade.

  • Need help with moving files?

    I now have two challenges.  As a new user I need to know how to copy my iTunes files onto a USB stick.  I am not sure how to find the files, copy them or anything,  the second thing that I need to know is how to remove files from the desktop.  While trying to copy these same music files I clicked at the wrong time and now they are all piled up on the desk top.  There are 1800 files all piled up.  Just want these gone.  Thanks for any help.

    While trying to copy these same music files I clicked at the wrong time and now they are all piled up on the desk top.  There are 1800 files all piled up.  Just want these gone. 
    Click Finder and desktop. Assuming for simplicity that there are only the 1800 files on the desktop that you want to delete them (important that you have saved them somewhere else where you want them) .... click on the first one in the list to highlight it, then move to the last one in the list, hold the shift key and click on it to highlight it. All in between should also now be highlighted. Either drag that group to the trash or right click and choose move to trash. Then empty the trash.
    If you want to copy the files on the desktop to the USB stick, follow Niel's instructions above.
    On your hard drive, you'll find your itunes library under your user ID / music / itunes

  • Need help with moving files into Itunes and syncing

    Please help.
    I have an external hard drive with my music on it.  I created a new playlist in Itunes and did a drag and drop from my external hard drive into my newly created playlist. 
    Now that I go back and play the items I brought over, I get an error that says "original files not found" and it won't play and therefore does not seem to be syncing to the Ipod to be able to play.
    Can you please give me guidance as to what I can do without recreating all the work I had already done?
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    Is the external drive connected?
    Has the drive letter possibly changed due to being disconnected and reconnected?

  • Getting new Hard Disk. Need help with moving files from old one.

    Hey guys so here is my dilema. So I have a Lacie 500GB Hard Drive and made the mistake of accidently deleting all my backups.db into the trash but thankfully never emptied that. There was no way to put it back into the backups folder so it caused me a lot of distress. I have decided to grab a portable hard disk instead such as the Western Digital. Heres my thought. I really only want to transfer a few things from the Lacie such as photos, movies, and a few documents from all the backup dates but nothing else. Is there a way to maybe automate so that certain files will transfer over instead of it all?
    Thanks in advance!
    On a sidenote, if you have any suggestions for portable, small, lightweight, yet large capacity (at least 1TB) portable hard drives let me know!

    Lacie is a Seagate drive
    To move specific files, open the backup database (time machine, backups.db). When you open Time Machine and select a date to restore from, you should see a Finder like view of that particular backup.  Navigate through the backup the same way as you would through the Finder and choose the folder or files you wish to restore.
