Newbie needs scroll bar help

Hello anyone,
I am fairly new to flash, I am using the MX version. I am
having trouble getting my scroll bars to load with the page load?
The bar shows up, but it does not give the option to scroll. If I
click off the page and return to it then the slider is there and it
works, but not on initial load. I have tried to set the action
script run on load but this has not worked. I am a little confused
and any help would be greatly appriciated.
Also as an aside issue, can you load images into a text
box?

am I on the right board for this type of question? I am not
very knowledgable in action scripts, but I have been trough the
tutorials and I bought the action scripts for dummies book, however
I have done everything that they say to do and still can't get the
bars to work right.
any help or redirection for help somewhere else would be
greatly appriciated.

Scroll bar :help for a newbie

Hello, I need some help to introduce scroll bar into my programs;
For example I have a JPanel in which I have to introduce a scroll bar when it's needed.
Can you help me please?

hi
JPanel jp = new JPanel();
JScrollPanel jsp = new JScrollPanel(jp);
getContentPane.add(jsp);

Issue with Multithreading and vertical scroll bar - help needed to debug!!!

I have been working on a desktop Visual Studio 2010 application for quite a few years. It is written in C++ and MFC. This code is a combination of code I have written and code I inherited. It worked great for years on Windows XP, but when I ported
it to Windows 7, a tricky problem has come up that I am having the darnest time trying to figure out
In summary, it is a single .exe desktop application. There is the main thread (thread A), which launches another thread (thread B). Both threads share a pointer to a single window object which displays events. This window also implements a vertical and horizontal
scroll bar.
The interaction and message processing between the threads seems a little sticky to me. Both threads A and B call the same member function of the CWnd object. BUT, Thread B ALSO posts messages to thread A's queue.
So, in thread B, you will see code like this, which makes a direct call to the output window object, AND THEN it also posts a message to Thread A's mainframe window like this...
if( m_pEventLog )
pOutputWindow->AddLine("Some test...");
if( m_phNotifyWnd[RECEIVE] && m_puiEventWMsg[RECEIVE] ) {
::PostMessage( m_phNotifyWnd[RECEIVE], m_puiEventWMsg[RECEIVE], 0, (LPARAM) pPkt );
WHEN thread A receives the message that thread B posted above, it only does the following:
LRESULT CMainFrame::OnSocketReceive( WPARAM, LPARAM lParam )
CSPkt* pPkt;
CRWPkt* pRWPkt;
CSPktSocket* pSocket;
ULONG ulType;
CString csTemp;
CBSWords bsWords;
CSSSWords sssWords;
CRWPkt* pLoopBackRWMsg; // used if we have to send a loopback msg back to sender
CLMsg lmsg;
m_wndTextWindow.AddLine("Test message");
return 0;
So both threads are writing to the output window via the .AddLine() member function.
void COutputWnd::AddLine( CString& strLine, COLORREF crColor )
UpdateVScroll();
return;
And this function then makes a call to :UpdateVScroll(). The problem seems to arise because thread B does a
post to thread A, where thread A in turn writes to the output window. Eventually, the program
HANGS in the call to
SetScrollInfo() below...
void COutputWnd::UpdateVScroll()
CSingleLock lock( &m_CSVertScrollLock ); // lock things up while we are in here
BOOL bok = lock.Lock();
if (lock.IsLocked() == TRUE)
int iMax = m_FifoIndices.GetHighestIndex();
if( iMax < ( m_iMaxViewableLines - 1 ) )
iMax = 0;
//SetScrollRange( SB_VERT, 0, iMax, FALSE );
//SetScrollRange( SB_VERT, 0, 9, FALSE );
SCROLLINFO scrollinfo;
scrollinfo.cbSize = sizeof(SCROLLINFO);
scrollinfo.fMask = SIF_RANGE;
scrollinfo.nMin=0;
scrollinfo.nMax= iMax;
SetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &scrollinfo, FALSE);
lock.Unlock();
It doesn't take long for the program to hang...maybe about 10 seconds.
When I hit DEBUG->BREAK ALL, I get the output below in the CALL STACK WINDOW.
ntdll.dll!770070f4()

NOTE: If I never make the call to SetScrollInfo(), the program never HANGS.
Sooo....I am trying to determine if there is a fundamental issue with the way the threads are communicating that is causing the issue, or if maybe I have a memory overwrite. It always hangs in ::SetScrollInfo(), no matter what I comment and uncomment. This
makes me think that scroll bat behavior is different in Windows 7 than on XP, but I have not been able to find any documentation about it.
Can anyone provide any insight as to what may be the cause of the program hanging>

It might look like working but it will crash eventually. The windows are thread affine and other thread must never touch other threads windows. Sometimes you might get along but usually it just crashes.
Thread B must use PostMessage ( or SendMessage if suncronous action is require) to thread A's windows to achieve correct updating. Some very basic calls are implemented directly with SendMessage so they are safe to use but then you must individually check
which ones are safe.
Also having multiple SendMessage calls from B to A require rendezvous which might cause other problems ( thread B stalls or program deadlocks, depending on other program structure).
So PostMessage is the way to do it ( or create yourself another inter-thread mechanism, possible but usually too much troble)

Button & Scroll Bar Help

Hello,
I am making a website in flash and need some help with the
actionscript,
Firstly I have coded the drop down menu, its a little buggy
but the main problem with it is the buttons will only work if its a
get URL command rather than go to and stop.
Secondly, I need some help coding the scroll bar if someone
wouldn't mind offering a bit of help with that. I have just under 4
days to get this finished, it’s for my final major project in
college, and would you believe it our technician broke FLASH so I
can't get help form my tutors.
If some one could help I would be extremely grateful, thanks.
Oh and here is a link to the flash file so you can have a
look at the coding.

Needed scroll bar in text field

Hi,
I have two text fields continuously. Sometimes either one get expanded. I kept all the fields in subform type positioned. Comments fields are getting enlarged when it has more number of lines. Lets say, If first field get expanded, it override the second one.
so I want to give scroll bar in a text field.
Thanks in advance.
Ram

You should not use positioned subforms at all. If you need to move a field right for example, the wrap it into a subform and set the left margin of the subform. Do not use positioned subform and just move the field. You will probably resolve your problem if you remove content: positioned on all subforms relevant to your problem (for example all parents of the text fields).
Use content flowed and layout autofit as often as possible!

Swing (JScrollPane - scroll bar) help

Hello all..
I am new user in Swing. Currently I am developing a program using JSCrollPane. I have to draw a kind of chart in it. Therefore as a drawing media, I used the JPanel, in which I put it inside my JScrollPane. Then.. since my graphic is long.. then I set the
setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy value to ALWAYS. Then I put my JPanel using the following commands :
this.jScrollPane1.setViewportView(this.jPanel2);
this.jScrollPane1.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
Fyi, my JPanel size is set to be wider than the jScrollPane3 size. Nevertheless.. during the run time the horizontal scroll bar is not shown. I am completely loss on how to solve this. Does anyone has any clue or solution for this problem. Thank you very much in advance.
Kariyage.

Fyi, my JPanel size is set to be wider than the jScrollPane3 sizeYou should use panel.setPreferredSize(...) not panel.setSize(...);

Photoshop Elements 7: Newbie Needs Drop Shadow Help, Please

Hello.
I'm brand new to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 and need help with the Drop Shadow feature, please.
I've read the documentation, but it's not crystal clear to me, so maybe someone can guide me through it.
I want to create text on a blank white canvas, and add a little bit of drop shadow to it. That's all I want to do--plain and simple.
I can create the text, but I can't for the life of me find any drop shadow options.
The documentation I'm using is the on-line, web-based help. I type in Drop Shadow in Search, and select Add Text to a Slide.
The third step says, "In the Properties palette, set any of the following options" and then offers some options, including Drop Shadow and Drop Shadow Color.
I'll be darned if I can locate the Properties palette. Obviously, I'm not well-versed with Photoshop, so if anyone can just steer me towards this feature, I'll take things from there.
I know this is probably rock-bottom basic, but I'm stumped. Thank you!
J. Danniel

I need a lot more help with this than I thought.
The problem I'm having is this: After creating the drop shadow effect, when I try to save the image as a transparent GIF, it quite simply.... looks horrible.
Here is what I'm doing in detail:
1. New/Blank File.
2. Blank File is set to transparent. (Is this the right way to make a transparent GIF?)
3. Creating text.
4. Cropping text.
5. Selecting drop shadow effect.
Now, here's where I get confused. Do I just select File/Save As, or File/Save For Web?
When I just use File/Save As, and select the GIF format, the drop shadow effect in the final file looks horrible when I embed the image into a web page. The text looks good, and the file is transparent, but the effect is ugly.
When I try to use Save for Web, there is a Before/After screen. The Before side looks decent; the After screen looks horrible, too.
So, now I don't know what to do. Can you or anyone guide me through this a bit further, please? Thank you! Jd

Newbie needs some simple help on triggers

Hi there. I need to create a trigger and am very new to this language and would love some help.
I have tables STUDENT, BOOKS, BORROWING.
When a student borrows a book, a composite entry is created in the BORROWING table. In the Books table, their is an attribute 'Borrowed' with a Y or N.
When a new record with the same Title as a book is created in borrowing, the value of 'borrowed' needs to be set to Y. So far I have the following, but forgot that I need to insert a WHERE clause so that it doesnt update every book, but only the book that causes the trigger.
I am having trouble with this- how would i go about doing this? Any help appreacited...
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER book_returned_trigger
AFTER DELETE ON borrowing
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE books
SET
borrowed= 'N';
END;

Hi guys. Am really having some trouble now. Funny thing is I had it working!
I have the following tables:
>
CREATE TABLE STUDENT
     studentID VARCHAR2(8) NOT NULL,
     firstname VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
     lastname VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
     gender VARCHAR2(10),
     dob DATE,
     address VARCHAR2(20),
     suburb VARCHAR2(20),
     phone VARCHAR2(8),
     PRIMARY KEY(studentID)
CREATE TABLE BOOKS
     title VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
     publisher VARCHAR2(20),
     year DATE,
     borrowed CHAR(1) CHECK (borrowed IN ('Y','N')),
     PRIMARY KEY(title)
CREATE TABLE BORROWING
     studentID VARCHAR2(8) NOT NULL,
     title VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
     PRIMARY KEY(studentID,title),
     FOREIGN KEY(studentID) REFERENCES student(studentID),
     FOREIGN KEY(title) REFERENCES books(title)
>
My Triggers look like this:
>
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER book_borrowed_trigger
AFTER INSERT ON borrowing
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE books
SET
borrowed= 'Y' WHERE title = :OLD.title;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER book_returned_trigger
AFTER DELETE ON borrowing
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE books
SET
borrowed= 'N' WHERE title = :OLD.title;
END;
>
and some sample date:
>
INSERT INTO student (studentID, firstname,
lastname, gender, dob, address, suburb, phone)
VALUES ('34025492','Sally','Field','Female',
'26/FEB/1970','123 Latrobe Pde','Dromana','59812553');
INSERT INTO student (studentID, firstname,
lastname, gender, dob, address, suburb, phone)
VALUES ('98503345','Ray','Blackburn','Female',
'9/NOV/1954','52 Murawa Dve','Sorrento','59812433');
INSERT INTO books (title, publisher, year, borrowed)
VALUES ('Harry Potter','Roundhouse','1998','N');
INSERT INTO books (title, publisher, year, borrowed)
VALUES ('Twilight','Jones Books','2000','N');
INSERT INTO borrowing (studentID, title)
VALUES ('20737785','Harry Potter');
>
Now I cant get this trigger to change the value of the 'borrowed' column in 'BOOKS' to Y when I create a new record in the BORROWING table that references one of the Books.
Any idea why? I cant see why! Thanks for the help so far guys

Verizon DSL Newbie needs Home Networking Help

I am a brand new Verizon DSL user (on my i-MAC G3 OS Panther) and I would love to be able to access the same DSL connection with my i-Book G4 (also OS Panther with an Airport Extreme card built in).
I tried looking this up on Verizon's website and quickly became totally confused. Verizon seems to think MAC users are second class citizens.
Would someone be willing to tell me exactly how to do this? Do I need a router? Do I need an Airport Base Station?
Thanks much, and please forgive my ignorance.

I have a verizon westell dsl wireless router which is working fine when the 3 macs (1 g3 powermac, 2 ibook g4's - all panther) on the network are hard wired.. but when you try to connect wirelessly, the ip address found in the TCPIP DHCP is a 169 address.. not 192.. and even though it seems to see the router.. you cannot connect to the internet. Anyone have a clue... I've tried manually typing in a 192 addy in the range which for a moment fools Airport and it states in Network Status that is's connected to the internet.. but it's not... I've also done the old un plug the router. restart the mac.. turn airport on and off drill and again.. nothing...I'm stumped... At one time we were able to connect wirelessly to this router.. but now no...HELP PLEASE!

Newbie ~ Need iWeb / movie help ~ PC's having problems

Hello, please bear with me, I am a newbie. I am using iWeb to create a site for family and friends to keep up with my kids.
www.jimcreighton.com
or
web.mac.com/creightonfamily
I have recently tried my hand at a small movie clip. When I go to the site I see it just fine. When I use my sons PC, using IE, I see it fine. However I am getting lots of emails from frustrated grandparents and others that they are either totally unable to see it at all. (A white "box") or they are able to see the screen but when they hit play, they get sound only.
Is this an issue on my end? Or on thier end?
Please remember that I am a total newbie at this, so be kind in your replies! Thanks in advance for any and all help.
G5 iMac, G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Those that get a white "box" and sound are using older versions of QuickTime.
Ask them to download QuickTime Player version 7 from this link:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Once they've installed version 7 they'll be able to see your movie.

ITune Newbie needs Log-in Help

I just purchased a iPod Classic last week and should receive it tomorrow. In the process I created an Apple account.
I want to purchase a few songs before the iPod arrives but the iTunes account does not reconize my password. I have reset it three times but still can not get into iTunes.
Do I have to create another different account for iTunes?
Thanks for your help,
Doug

Wish I had been so lucky. I have now been in e mail discussion with the iTunes support centre for a fortnight with what sounds like the same initial problem.
I have a fully functioning Apple Id which i can use successfully in the Apple store, but this is not recognised by the iTunes store. Unfortunately I am not getting the follow on message allowing me to create the iTunes account under my Apple ID.
Has any one else had this problem? If so, please let me know how to resolve it as I have had no luck with iTunes support to date.
Thanks

Newbie needs InDesign CS5 help: text overflow into new page

Hello... so, I've been using InDesign CS5 to create a document, because it transfers nicely into the pdf format. I had written most of the stuff a couple months ago, am transferring it to InDesign via copy and paste, and then have to go in an "re-do" the bolds and italics and hyper links etc, b/c it does not transfer those things to InDesign. I can live with that. However, with this 10+ page document, how can I copy all my text and paste it onto 10 pages+ of InDesign, rather than piece-by-piece on a page-by-page basis?
As of now, I have to take the first page of my original, and then copy and paste and estimate, add and subtract until the sizing is right... and then I have to do that with page 2... and page 3... and page 4.. and... well, you get the idea. More than 10 pages of this! Now, the straw breaking this camel's back is the fact that I have to go in and do a revision in one part... so that I have to move and shift part of page 2 to page 3, and page 3 to page 4, and page 4 to page 5, and... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Is there ANY way to get text to simply overflow from one page to the next? When you try to drag a text box down to the next page you've added, it stops at the bottom of the page and will not let you flow into the next page. I am not particularly tech savvy and don't know coding or html or etc. I am looking for a way to allow text to flow from one page to the next as if you were writing a Word doc.
I have 80 more pages and 7 more documents to do this with. Please help! I want to cry at the thought of dealing with this in every single 8 to 12 page document I'm recreating.

All is not lost for autoflow even using copy paste. Here's a nifty little trick that will help you:
ID does not require a text frame before you paste, so if you don't start with one, or don't use the one you've already drawn, ID will conveniently draw a 2" square text frame in the center of the screen if you issue a paste command. This frame will contain all of the copied text, but most of it will be overset (you'll see a red plus sign inthe "out port" on the lower right of the frame).
Overset text can be picked up and flowed using autoflow, just as if you were placing a text file, so use the selection tool (black arrow) to select that small text frame if it isn't already selected, then click the red plus sign to pick up the overset. You should now have a loaded text cursor that looks sort of like the upper left corner of a page. DON'T click it anywhere yet.
First press backspace to delete the small text frame (which should have remained selected). Now you can start your auto-flow holding the Shift key and clicking your loaded cursor wherever you like. All of the text, including what was visible in the now deleted frame is in the cursor waiting for you.
