Newbie question? Probably. I just need a quick bit of help!

Hi folks
I don't use iMovie too much, but can usually figure out the program enough to suit my needs... except today, I can't for the life of me figure out how to lop off the end of the video which is dead space!
I have 5min22 of content, with a 5min13 song. However, there is over a minute of dead space hanging out at the end of the timeline viewer. I tried to hover the mouse over the right side of the clip viewer to find some kind of editing ability that would let me squeeze in on the content and get rid of that extra minute of dead space. Can't seem to find it, though...
I'm TOTALLY missing something, right?!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out!

Ah ha! Found what I was looking for by switching to the clip viewer-- an uninvited clip of 1min of BLACK.
Clip deleted, user pleased.

Need a quick bit of help using Terminal

I have something simple I want to do with Terminal but I am obviously doing it wrong!
I want to change the format of screen grabs (I have to do a ton of them at work and I'm tired of re-saving PNGs as JPGs).
I've read I need to type the line into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg
So I did. Then I logged out and logged back in to my computer (just for good measure? I dunno). It's still saving my screen grabs as PNGs.
It's got to be something simple that I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance for any help!

As an easy way to change the user interface aspect of Finder to save
screenshots as jpg instead of png, I've used OnyX from Titanium
Software, a free running interface utility that can so several things.
{Not that I got it to do that, but found the extra options it allows can
be of some use, outside of the chance you could really mess up
the OS if you mis-use some aspects of this kind of utility.}
While there is a way, & someone had posted how to change it
in terminal (in single user mode, etc) I do not remember all that
because I use OnyX for general maintenance every so often &
have it in my computers. There is a version for your Mac's OS...

well forget what i said then. I see what you are trying to do and it can be done this way but I don't really like it. My opinion however is not important yet!
I suggest you start by calling the init() method in the constructor. I don't see where you called this method and since you didn't then none of the text fields are created.

Novice in need of a bit of help

The last time I put together a website was with Frontpage, so
this is the first time i've attempted to do serious work in DW.
I'm currently at a stage where i've done the website layout
in PS, have sliced it up in IR and am editing it in DW. I've also
done a Flash menu that i'm trying to integrate into DW.
I've run into a number of problems though:-
1. I can't seem to move the images around in DW - the center
of the website will be taken up by a white portion (where all the
text will go) and i've tried to delete that and put it back in as a
background image. But when I do that, the image that's directly
below it (a grey bar for the bottom of the website) get's pushed
up. I can't seem to move any of the images around. Is there a way
of locking all of the images, bar the one that's currently
selected, that I don't want to immediately move around (e.g. with
different layers in PS)?
2. When I try to import the Flash menu into DW, I can't move
it around either. It just sits in the spot it was inserted in.
Additionally, I can't find a way of giving the Flash menu a
transparent background. I just need the Flash buttons to sit over
the background image. Is that something I need to correct in Flash
or can I do that in DW?
3. When I eventually get the Flash menu sitting nice and
pretty on top of the background image, how do I link the Flash
buttons to the different pages?
4. How do I insert a pdf d/l function into the website?
There'll be a tonne of documents on there (it's for a small
accounting firm) and the client wants the ability to offer some of
the documents as pdf downloads.
Any help/advice'd concerning these issues would be greatly
appreciated, thanks.

While this is not surprising, it's a VERY bad start. One
should never use
HTML written by a graphics program for 'serious' work. It's
fragile, and
poorly formed, and will break at the slightest provocation.
I'd guess that
in excess of 20% of all the posts here are directly related
to the use of
such HTML.
In addition, Flash menus are bad business. You create a
monster for
yourself, since DW will not manage the links in that menu, in
the event that
files are named or moved from their current location. They
are also
inaccessible to those using screen assistive devices, and are
just downright
bad.

You are suffering from a well-known disease, called "trying
to build HTML
pages without knowing HTML", often also called "trying to use
an HTML
authoring program as if it were Microsoft Word". I'm not
trying to be
snarky here. You will just need to learn some HTML. When you
do this, you
will quickly discover that HTML doesn't allow you to just put
things on the
page as if it were a graphics program, or a printed page
layout program.

See above. Also, to make Flash transparent is a trick. You
can use the
Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
properly!).

You have to do this in Flash, not HTML - another good reason
not to use
Flash Buttons.

Zip them, and link to the zipped document as you would to any
other file.
You can force a download, but that would require
server-scripting that I
don't think you are ready for yet.
Good luck - there's lots of help here to get you up to speed.

Need a tiny bit of help please!

Hey guys,
I have a full set of renders for a character. At this time I
have a 3 point stand and an 8 point walk motion. Basically 3
separate images for standing and 8 separate images for walking.
I want to use AS3 and have the character standing and doing
the 3 point animation. Then I want to make him walk via user
control with the 8 walk images.
To this point I have searched everywhere for a tutorial on
how to do this but all I end up finding is for artists and how to
draw the animations. But like I said, I have the animation images,
I just need to learn how to implement them into flash.
In the end to learn this, all I want to do is to properly
encorperate the images into flash so that I can do a test movie and
have the character doing his stand animation and then when I press
left or right have him do the walk animation. From there I will go
onto collision and whatever I feel like learning at that time.
Right now, just getting a standing animation and a user controlled
walk would be great.
Could anybody point me towards a good tutorial on how to do
this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

A lot of the avi files made on Windows machines use variable bit rate mp3 audio, which QT will not play. One workaround is to use this freeware Windows video processor to change the format of the avi audio.
VirtualDub
Open the avi in VirtualDub, set the video menu to Direct Stream Copy and set the audio to Full Processor Mode. Then choose either uncompressed audio in the compression item in Audio Menu or IMA audio. Now open the avi and then use Save as Avi in the File menu. The video will be passed through with no change to the new avi but the audio will be changed to the new compression setting. The two compression types I mentioned will play in QT Player with no problem. You will need to have the video codec for the avi in Video for Windows form. If you can play the avi in Windows Media Player you have the right codec already.

Need a little bit of help with substring...

Im very new at java programming, and need a bit of help with a problem:
Here is what I have:
System.out.print("Enter a string : ");
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
stringy = scan.nextLine();
Now I want to split the string "stringy" like this: h:hi:hip:hipp:hippo
I know this uses substring, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Any help would be great, thanks!

I know about the length method, what I dont knowis
how to use the length and substring methodstogether
to solve the problem i mentioned initially. There are three ingredients to perform this task:

- String.substring(int start, int end)
- for-statement:

Pseudo code:IN <- input String from user
LOOP FROM 0 -> IN.length()
print IN.substring(?, ?)
print ":"
END LOOP
Remember, Im very new. ;)Remember that by just handing you the solution, you
will learn far less than finding things out by
yourself.

Hi jbobst,
if you go to the support site, http://support.lenovo.com/us/en, or click on support at the top of the forum you will be able to search on the model type of your system after selecting Search by Machine Type Model.
If your system is a CTO, Configured To Order, this wont unfortunately tell you which OS was preinstalled in which case you can use Parts Lookup; this will usually state which OS was installed. For Parts Lookup only the first 4 characters of the MTM are required.

Newbie Question - what do i need ?

Hi ... I am an animator and I want to write a soundtrack for my demo reel. I do have some musical background and would like to restart my interest in composing music. Should I go for logic express or just use garage band ? If i stick with garage band I need to get that symphony jam pack. Is there anything similar for logic. I am a complete newb to all of this. I guess i don;t really know what I need. I was thinking a USB midi keyboard, logic express and some kind of sample add-on.
Thanks everyone !

oh yeah ... i was also wondering if express has all the quantization tools that pro has. thanks =).

Newbie question... pointers needed

Hi all,
Environment: Weblogic 6.1 SP2 Sun Solaris, Oracle 8.1.7
We've a large table where we need to assure that only one person at time
updates certains rows of it.
Currently we're using direct connections from the client with "select for
update" but we are suffering from the performance penalty of establishing
these connections instead of using connection pools... and this is driving
weblogic to a halt. Also there are a lot of connections to the database and
some of them might be stalled from killed clients
What's the best way to implement this type of code efficiently?
TIA,
Pedro Ortigão

My suggestion would be to use a connection pool, but I am not sure I
understand you situation well enough to come to that conclusion.
If you want to have only One person update a row at time. My suggestion,
and this is just one idea, would be to create a Singleton Class that has a
Synchronized list (or hashtable, or what ever would be easiest) of row keys
that are being updated. Only one user would be able to lock and unlock
a row at a time, but I don't think this will be a problem unless it takes a
long time to add something to your list of locked rows.
public class LockedRows
private LockedRows()//can't be instantiated outside this class
public static boolean isRowLocked(int rowId)
//if the rowId is in the list return true
//else return false
public static synchronized lockRow(int rowId)
//add to your list
public static synchronized unlockRow(int rowId)
//remove from your list or tree or hashtable
just an idea.

I just need a quick poll here

I'm debating to upgrading to 4.1.171 but 4.0.206 is so stable. Cisco asked me not to I guess due to bugs but to do some cool things like RFID (Aeroscout exciters, etc..)I will need to upgrade.
What do you think?

Hi Linda,
I would go with Cisco on this one :) Have a look at some recent threads (the word nightmare pops up a few times);

Ipod Audio Error. Just need a quick answer...

My ipod will not put sound out to the right channel on my headphones. I have tried different sets of headphones, so i know it is the ipod. Any idea what the issue is? I tried cleaning out the 3.5mm jack on the ipod with a q-tip and alcohol. Any other ideas?

Hi,
It is likely a hardware issue if doing the Restore does not solve the problem.
Cleaning by inserting a q-tip is a bad idea, as it could damage the headphone jack further.
Purly guessing, the metal part contact of the headphone jack, may some how widen the gap and the headphone's right channel jack losses tha contact with it.

I need a little bit of help if possible that is

so i got my ipod about 3 weeks ago or so and i was diconnecting it right the entire time but i left in to charge one night and my sister decided she need that port for her camera and pulled it out incorrectly at first the screen was frozen on do not disconnect but i got past that..now i have nothing on it when i go to put my music on it i get the message "The iPod "IPOD" cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found" is there anyway to fix that?????? Thanks
