Newbie question (tutorial pointers needed)

Hi, folks
I am new to this tool, Dreamweaver. I heard of that it's
convenient to use it to create website. I am wondering if any one
can give me a pointer to start to learn this tool. My background is
in the backend and some interface using Java, JSP and I used to
hand-code the pages. I never use a tool like this and hope it will
speed up setting the site and polish the interfaces of the site.
Btw, I just installed Micromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 in XP.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Spend a while with learning HTML and CSS. Then your learning
curve into DW
will be trivial.

Newbie question II - Still need help........

Thanks! But I'm still lost.....
Here's my entire program...
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Lab10 extends Applet implements ActionListener {
private Button plusOne;
private Button minusOne;
private Button reset;
int buttonCount=0;
private Color myColor = Color.blue;
//Color myColor = Color.red;
public void init() {
Button plusOne=new Button ("Increase count by one");
add(plusOne);
plusOne.addActionListener(this);
Button minusOne=new Button ("Decrease count by one");
add(minusOne);
minusOne.addActionListener(this);
Button reset=new Button ("Reset the count");
add(reset);
reset.addActionListener(this);
add(plusOne);
add(minusOne);
add(reset);
}//end of init
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.setColor(myColor);
g.drawString("The count is:"+buttonCount+".",50,50);
}//end of paint
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e){
if (e.getSource()==plusOne); {
buttonCount=buttonCount+1;
g.setColor(myColor);
myColor=Color.blue;
else (e.getSource()==minusOne);{
buttonCount=buttonCount-1;
g.setColor(myColor);
myColor=Color.green;}
else {
(e.getSource()==reset);{
buttonCount=0;
g.setColor(myColor);
myColor=Color.red;}
}//end of else
}//end of if
}//end of actionPerformed
}//end of class Lab10
I'd appreciate any help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still getting the variable g error too!
Thanks

Hi!
In the actionPerformed method, you are trying to access a variable named "g" which is only accesible by the paint method. The point is that you CANT use g on actionPerformed.
To solve your problem, just delete the line where it says:
" g.setColor(myColor); "
Also take the semicolon out on every "if clause", like this one:
" if (e.getSource()==plusOne); { "
and finally...
after the line:
" myColor=Color.blue; "
just type:
repaint();
That way, you will call the paint method automatically, which is exactly what you need.
It should look like this:
if (e.getSource()==plusOne)
buttonCount=buttonCount+1;
//g.setColor(myColor);
myColor=Color.blue;
repaint();
Ok, that should do it. Take care and hope it works!!

WebDynPro Newb question

Hey All,
I need to begin working with WebDynPro. I have a couple of Newb questions:
1) I need to jump right in fairly quickly, so can anyone suggest any good documentation that could help me get the basics down about working with WebDynPro?
2) I loaded a Sample WebDynPro project into NetWeaverDev Studio, but I am unable to export this to our instance of EP on our Development Server. For a .par file its easy to do exports, but I can't for the life of me find where i go in NetWeaverDev Studio to do an export of a WebDynPro project. When I goto export in the WebDynPro perspective, it appears to only want to allow me to export locally, but I need to push to a different server. Can anyone help me with this?
I appreciate any advice and suggestions. Thanks All!!
Take care,
-Kevin

Hey Rich,
I have the Engine setup, but I do not get prompted for the SDM password, do I need to configure that somewhere? I get the following error when trying to deploy:

Newbie question. coldFusion w/ Flex 2 tutorial

Hello.
I am very new to F2 and CF. Fairly proficient at Flash, DW,
css, html, etc. I have purchased and worked through a couple really
great F2 and CF books. I am able to construct some good basic stuff
with either. But am not really finding a tutorial or book that is
exclusively committed just to the subject of to using CF with Flex
2. There always seems to be a just a cursory mention, or a
brush-by, but not much more than that. I get it: if you got this
far, you probably arlready know everything about the two and
shouldn't need such.
If you could point me to a couple good references, I'd be
very appreciative. I'm looking for a good step-by-step, just on
this subject.

Thank you. You are right on with the direction of your
answer.
Immediately, I am just trying to create a simple method of
add/edit/delete records to tables from forms that I could access
remotely with Flex 2. I just assumed that CF would be the best
method, both being Macradobe products. If I am wrong about that, so
be it. Utlimately, I would like to print specific "quotes" relative
to specific customers and products to .pdf. This is for my own
personal use (as an insurance broker). Not commercial. Nor is
anyone paying me to develop this.
Maybe a better newbie question would be: what would be the
preferred method to add/edit/delete records, remotely, from a Flex
2 application for later printing to .pdf based on various selection
criteria? I have figured out how to do this on my own stand-alone
machine. Now I want to be able to do it remotely from anywhere.
I'm
not looking for instruction from anyone here, just direction
to your favorite learning tools so that I can dig in and learn.
I bought the books you recommended (adding to my own Library
of Congress).
Thanks again!

Newbie Question: How much computer do I need?

Newbie Question:
I would like to use MainStage 3 in a live performance environment to play bars, parties, etc. I'm not looping, using it to playback recordings, processing outboard equipment or vocal processing. I want to stop carrying Rolands, Nords, Korgs, etc and get to a controller and a rack with a Mac Mini in it.
I tested a download of Mainstage 3 on my home Mac Mini (late 2012, 3.5 Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB drive) and it seemed to run fairly well. $30 well invested so I trekked forward... I purchased a Mac Mini (late 2009, 2.52GHz Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for $200. I started to do more elaborate keyboard setups to see how the CPU would hold up. It typically runs from 30% to 50% of capacity (CPU and Memory) It actually boots and runs better than the i5. I hear the occasion gitch, but it actually seems to be getting better in time (or I'm rock and roll deaf.
I got a rack, an Airport Express, a Radial USB interface and a Nektar Panorama P6. It's starting to get expensive, but I'm emboldened by the actual quality for the sound and the flexibility of arranging for live performance. What used to take me two and three keyboards to play, I can now fit on one performance patch.
OK, now the question... am I at the limits of this little Core 2 Duo? Should I upgrade the i5 with more RAM and a bigger SSD and use that? Should I get a new(er) i7 and bite the $1,500 bullet for the additional RAM and SSD?
I see that most of you are running pretty nice Macbook Pros with i7 and lots of everything. My needs are modest; am I OK?
BTW, I want to run a Mac Mini in a box because I don't want to carry a laptop out in the open. If I was doing bigger shows I wouldn't care but I play some rowdy bars and constantly have folks hanging off me while I'm playing. It's fun, but hard on gear. If you can't drop it or dip it in beer, it won't last long where I work.
Matt Donnelly

Rule of thumb: newer and faster is better. But, depending the complexity of your needs you may be OK with an older Mac. Some glitches that happen in a live performance are due to loss of communication with USB or Firewire inputs, so make sure they're secure. I recently upgraded from a 2010 Mac Mini 2.6 dual core with 16 GB RAM, which was used live for nearly four years, to the latest Mac Mini 3.0 i7 with 16 GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD. I was getting an occasional stuck note with the older one. The new one is rock solid. Some of my patches may have up to a dozen channel strips mapped to three keyboards. The Mini is mounted in a rack next to a MOTU Ultralite Hybrid. It is a good idea to map a panic button on your keyboard to controller # 123(all notes off). Also, you might want to invest in a battery backup power supply(APC, Cyberpower, etc.-$40-$60) to protect your Mac against power loss, which can damage you hard drive.

MailServer Newbie Question..

So my first time i setup a Mail Server with Mac OS X Server.
Everything works like a charme. I can send and receive emails internally. That means
i can send and receive emails from mac to pc and vice versa. Now my question.
How do I setup the Server to catch my external eMail adresses and send it to my internal account.
And how do I setup to send throw my server to the rest of the world without getting banned and
blacklisted
I how someone can write a small tutorial for me or can post a link for this newbie question.
Thanx in advance..
mike
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English. But I am from Germany

how to configure the server to accept mail for my own domain ?
Any domain you want to receive mail for goes into the Local Host Aliases pane (in Advanced-> Hosting tab). However, you said that you can already send and receive internally so presumably you have it set up for a domain already? If this is not the same domain as you want to use, just change whatever settings you are using to your real domain. You can then test sending and receiving internally for your own domain but without changing your external (public) mail provider. When you are ready to change your outside mail server for your own one, get the public MX record changed so that all external mail starts getting directed to your own server.
how to get the public DNS record (MX Record)
If you have a 'real' domain then someone is hosting your DNS for that domain. THis is probably whoever you bought the domain from. You need to get them to change your MX record (or the IP address for the host name record which the MX points to - see my first post).
Is it really impossible to catch the external email-accounts with the server via pop.
my idea behind that is to synchronize the external email accounts with the email accounts on the server..
I have never really looked into getting a mail server to use a pop download from another external mail server - it may be possible by manual configuration but it never made sense to me. Why have two mail servers in a 'chain'? Basically, the public will see only one server responsible for your mail (via MX record) - you have to decide whether you want to leave this with your external provider or take the responsibility yourself.
Your configuration for the incoming mail seems to me like you would change the
external email server completely to my internal server.. right ??
Correct. Once the public MX record is changed then all other mail servers will send to your server and not your current provider. You can always revert back by changing the MX record back to your existing provider (as long as your account is still open).

Total Newbie Question ... Sorry :-(

I know it's a windows thing, and I am now converted to Mac but I gotta know this because it's doing my head in. It's a complete stupid green gilled newbie question.
When installing new programs on a Mac can you create shortcuts to the programs on the Dock? I did what I THOUGHT it would be, i.e I made an Alias and stuck it in the dock, but on rebooting my Mac later on, in place of the shortcuts where 3 question marks which when clicked on did absolutely nothing???
Help?

You aren't installing something from a dmg file are you? The dmg is a disk image – kind of a virtual CD. So when you double click the dmg and then get the little disk/hardrive/custom icon on your desktop that is the same as if you had mounted a CD. You then need to drag the application off of that "CD" into your application folder. Then it is truly installed.
You can then "eject" the icon your your desktop. This is what happens when you shutdown and without remounting the image your dock shortcut can't find the original.
Just a thought.

Newbie Question. just installed IE7.. how do I set up a local host to preview sites?

Sorry for the newbie question... but it's been a long time since I have done this
Thanks!

Just define your site in DW as always. For a static site, that's all you need to do.

Domain name settings - Newbie question

Sorry for a newbie question!
I am already pointing a domain name to web hosting for email account. Now, I need an application server to run ERP software and Oracle, and installing Solaris and Oracle need a domain name.
If I point my domain name to the server, how do I receive emails from web hosting???
Install an email server to the application server instead? What can I do if I want the same domain name? Any option?

Setting up a mailserver and making sure it doesn't suddenly turn into a spambox is not something you do with the use of a few commands. I suggest to dive into the Solaris admin guide on docs.sun.com and read up on e-mail and network services.
If that is asking too much of your time you'll be better off getting your ISP to handle all this for you.

Domain Name settings in Solaris - Newbie question

Sorry for a newbie question!
I am already pointing a domain name to web hosting for email account. Now, I need an application server to run ERP software and Oracle, and installing Solaris and Oracle need a domain name.
If I point my domain name to the server, how do I receive emails from web hosting???
Install an email server to the application server instead? What can I do if I want the same domain name?

Your questions are completely off-topic for the forum.
These SunOS forums are for questions on "how do I install my OS"
You particular question is in the "how can I install Solaris while using the CD drive" forum.
So, if you had a question on how to edit the /etc/inet/hosts file to establish a FQDN on the computer, then it might be appropriate for the forum.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on where to redirect you, except perhaps to the Sun Java Enterprise System suite of applications?

Newbie question - XML version, searching by artist

Probably quite a common problems - apologies for newbie questions.
I've changed the URL of my MP3s in my XML to a new location and refreshed my feed. Is there a way of seeing what version of the XML iTunes is using? (it takes around 24 housr to refresh, right?)
Also, when I'm searching for my podcast by author it's not coming up (<channel><itunes:author>) - is there a reason for this or a way to get it to show up when people search for the artist, other than doubling it in the title? (This works by the way, but I'd prefer not to!)
Thanks.

you can do it in just one loop, going through all the image
tags in index_content and for each tag fill the values of all four
arrays
for (i...) {
get the appropriate child of index_content
first_array[ i ] = value of first tag
second_array[ i ] = value of second tag
no need for multiple loops.
flash has functionality for xml files, but it helps to write
a little wrapper around it, to simplify programming, especially if
you work with xml a lot.. I wrote my for work, so I can't show it
to you, but it's not very complicated to do

SG200-08 Newbie Questions

I have recently purchased the SG200-08 Smart Switch, but I have a few "newbie questions" about it as I get started using it.
The on board firmware shows 1.0.1.0. Is that the latest firmware to the switch?
Do I need to enable IPv6 Auto Configuration and DCHPv6 in my switch settings to be ready for IPv6 as my ISP rolls it out down the road?
How do I go about changing the switch's username? I was able to easily change the password, but having issues getting the username to change.
Do I need to do anything about the LLDP-MED settings? What exactly is that?
How do I confugure the System Time Settings so the switch functions in my time zone (USA Central Time)?
Thanks a bunch for any assistance!

Hi Nathan,
My guess is that NAT is already on - you have one public IP address from your ISP. Your router will use NAT (network address translation) to allow multiple clients (and either dynamically assign them private IPs via dhcp or you set them statically) to connect to the internet using the one public IP. It also sounds like your RV042G is assigning both ipv6 and ipv4 addresses, and theres nothing wrong with that. Unless you have specific information re: ipv6 from your isp, however, I would suggest not worrying about it until you hear from them. Are your macs connected to the router via the SG200 switch? If so, it looks like its passing ipv6 just fine. UPnP is something completely different - thats with opening ports like you mentioned - its a way that your devices can communicate with the router to automatically enable the proper port forwarding for the device/application.
Regarding the username, create a new user account. I don't think you can edit the cisco user, but try deleting it after creating and testing a new user account..
I'm not familiar with the Polycom system, but I would leave the settings as default unless you are using true IP phones (rather than an ATA adapter). From a quick google of the polycom device, I don't think you will gain anything from LLDP/CDP as the handsets use regular cordless phone freqs. With my setup, we use cisco IP desk phones and cordless wifi phones, CDP makes life easy as the cisco access point, wifi phones, cisco switch, and cisco desk phones (connected via ethernet) see each other and know what they're dealing with automatically.
I don't see the SNTP setting for unicast / broadcast that you're looking at. For the switch to get the time from a sntp server, under administration -> time -> sntp settings, add a server, and then back on time-> system time, enable sntp server as the main clock source. What are you using as your sntp source? Do you have an internal sntp server? You don't need to enable dhcp on the sntp server.
May I also point you to the two manuals, I think they may be helpful: RV042G & SG200
Hope thats helpful.
Best,
David

Newb Question for burning DVD/CDs

I have an external DVD writer on my iMac.
I got the thing last month and an completely new to Apple (sorta)
Now how do I make a data CD and DVD?
On Winblows XP all I need to do is select the files, right click and click on SEND FILES TO CD for making data CDs.
However for DVD I need 3rd party software.
Will iDVD do the trick?
Thanks for the looking at this simple newb question.

Now how do I make a data CD and
DVD?Drag the files to the icon of the
blank CD/DVD that appears in the

software.You might want to try Patc
hBurn.Will iDVD do the
trick?No, iDVD is only for making video
DVDs and it requires a G4 processor.
Thanks for the tip Duane.
I was just reading abotu burning CD on another site. It mentions about what you said, drag the files to the CD.
However I am reading in my profiler that burning is NOT supported by OS X on this CD/DVD writer.
Will Patchburn or any other software overcome this?
Thanks

MEGA-Newbie Question

This has to be the most newbie of all newbie questions. Interestingly enough, it is the one that is most rarely answered in a non-technical way that the novice can understand.
What exactly do I need Motion for? What, in common-sense, regular-language terms, does it do?
My manuals tell me how to do all the things it does. But they assume I am an experienced editor (I'm an experienced filmmaker, but only just started working in editing) who already knows all the things that CAN be done and only wants to know HOW to do them in Motion. This is not me.
So, say I am making a 90-minute HDV feature music doc. I have footage, I have stills. I will need captions, titles and text on screen. I will need an end credit roll. What is it I will probably want Motion to do for me that FCP can't do on its own?
I'd appreciate an answer in somewhat non-technical language that addresses the practical use -- from a filmmaker's point of view -- of this no doubt amazing program.
Thank you.

hi Paul,
You are right you can do much of the things Motion does in FCP, but Motion takes them further and often makes them easier to do.
Briefly whereas FCP is generally for editing moving pictures from rushes to a coherent whole, Motion is used to composite or layers of moving pictures to make a new coherent whole picture.
So i plain words, you can meld different sources of video, stills text and other sources together to make a new end peice. You can animate text, warp pictures, create fires, smoke, hide bits ( masking), animate graphical elements. In short whenever you need to layer up multiple sources of imagery Motion is your man. Sure FCP can handle a lot of this, but Motion is designed specifically and only to do this, and does it very well. ( You would not want to edit in Motion!)
In your 90 minute example you could do it all in FCP and make it look very nice. But you might need to go the extra mile with the title sequence, perhaps the captions will have some kind of generic strap line ( lower third) under All these things could be done easier and better in motion. However you would not want to import the whole 90 minute programme into Motion and start throwing captions on it. Rather you would want to build each element ( strap line, animating titles, opening sequence etc) in Motion and then import them into FCP for the final mastering. Motion is for short sequences, and FCP is used to collect them all into one programme.
I make music commercials for a living, do all the cutting on FCP and build all the graphic elements in Motion, take a look at my site for some examples if you'd like,

Hope this helps you

RV042G Newbie Questions

I have the new Cisco RV042G router, and I have just a few "newbie questions" about it as I get started using it:
The firmware on board is v4.2.1.02. Since this is a brand new router, is that the latest firmware?
Under Time>DST Dates, what do I need to configure in there? I'm in the US, Central Time.
I want to use Back to My Mac from iCloud (formerly MobileMe). Under the iCloud preferances pane on my Mac, it's saying: "Back to My Mac may be slow because NAT Port Mapping (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is turned off on your router. Turn on NAT-PMP or UPnP." What should I enable on my router in order for Back to My Mac to better function?
I'm using a VOIP phone on the network (only 1 device with a couple phones). Are there any QoS settings I should tweak for better performance of my VOIP phone? I did change the port the VOIP phone is connected to to High (instead of Normal) under Port Settings. Will this help boost performance?
I also want to setup a VLAN on a port for guests to access the Internet, but not have any access to my personal network. Here's the steps I've done so far. Is this sufficient or is there anything else I need to do?
I went to Setup>Network, enabled Multiple Subnets.
I added 192.168.254.1/255.255.255.0 as a subnet.
I went to Port Management>Port Setup, set the port I wanted to use (Port 4) to VLAN2.
I went to Firewall>Access Rules, added two rules:
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.254.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Thanks everyone for your help!

Easy. just goto the DHCP field and fill in the Static DHCP fields.
Assigning static IP addresses by adding devices from a list
Click Show unknown MAC addresses. The IP & MAC binding list appears. If the web browser displays a message about the pop-up window, allow the blocked content.
The devices are listed by the IP address and the MAC address. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or back panel of a device.) If needed, you can clickRefresh to update the data.To select a device, first enter a descriptive Name. Then check the Enable box. Alternatively, select all devices in the list by clicking the check box at the top of the Enable column.
Click OK to add the devices to the Static IP list, or click Close to close the pop-up window without adding the selected devices. After you click OK, a message appears. The message includes important information. Read it before clicking OK. Keep the browser open and wait until the selected MAC addresses appear in the Static IP list.
Modify or remove list entries, as needed:
To modify the settings: Click a device in the list. The information appears in the text fields. Make the changes, and then click Update. If you do not need to make changes, you can click Add New to de-select the entry and clear the text fields.
To delete an entry from the list: Click the entry that you want to delete, and then clickDelete. To select a block of entries, click the first entry, hold down the Shift key, and then click the final entry in the block. To select individual entries, press the Ctrl key while clicking each entry. To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Assigning static IP addresses by entering devices manuallyIn the Static IP Address section, add or edit entries as needed. Remember that the settings are not saved until you click the Save button.
To add a new device to the list: Enter the following information, and then click Add to list.
Static IP Address: Enter the static IP address. You can enter 0.0.0.0 if you want the router to assign a static IP address to the device.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the device. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or the back panel of a device.) Enter the address without punctuation.
Name: Enter a descriptive name for the device.
Enable: Check this box to assign the static IP address to this device.
To add another new entry: Enter the information, and then click Add to list.
To modify the settings: Click a device in the list. The information appears in the text fields. Make the changes, and then click Update. If you do not need to make changes, you can clickAdd New to de-select the entry and clear the text fields.

To select a block of entries, click the first entry, hold down the Shift key, and then click the final entry in the block. To select individual entries, press the Ctrl key while clicking each entry. To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Using the Static IP List to Block Devices
You can use the Static IP list to control access to your network. You can block access by devices that are not on the list or do not have the correct IP address.
Add devices to the Static IP list as described in Static IP Addresses.
Enable or disable the following features:
Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address: Check this box to prevent a computer from accessing your network if its IP address has been changed. For example, if you previously assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.100 and someone configures the device to use 192.168.149, the device will not be allowed to connect to your network. This feature discourages users from changing their device IP addresses without your permission. Uncheck the box to allow access regardless of the current IP address assignment.
Block MAC address not on the list: Check this box to block access from devices that are not included in the Static IP list. This feature prevents unknown devices from accessing your network. Uncheck the box to allow access by any connected device that is configured with an IP address in the correct range.
Hope that helps.
