Open external swf from within another external swf?

Hello, I'm relatively new to AS3 and have a problem that I'd like to see if anyone can provide a response.
I have an external swf that is opened through a web page, but the swf does not diplay in a web page, we use javascript to remove the browser, control the window size to 1024X710, no scrollbars, etc. Within that external swf I want to use a button that the user can click to open a separate external swf that is located in the same folder; however, I want it to display as the original swf (without it being displayed in an Internet browser, no scroll bars, a certain size 1024X710), etc. I've been able to find script where you can open an external web page with a certain size window; however, I find nothing regarding how to open an external swf with conditions.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
We use this script on a web page to open the external swf:
<script language="Javascript">
function openSWF1(cbtFile)
window.open(cbtFile,"NewWindow","toolbar=no,directories=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,widt h=1024,height=710");
</script>
We use the following html code to call the JS and open the applicable swf file:
<a href="javascript:openSWF1('CBT/AppTrng/EIP-New-Siebel.swf')">Enterprise Image Processing (EIP)</a>

Hi,
I found this function and it works correctly; however, it seems to automatically move the movie to the next frame instead of staying on the same frame in which the function is displayed.
The first function is to move to the next frame when the user presses the Tab key on their keyboard.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, cool);
function cool(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
      if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.TAB){
           gotoAndPlay("7");
This function is to open an external swf in a sizeable window with no Internet window - it works great! However, it automatically navigates the parent movie clip to frame #7. What am I doing wrong?
query_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, MYBUTTON_link8);
function MYBUTTON_link8(e:MouseEvent):void
    //navigateToURL(new URLRequest("icb.swf"), "_blank", "scrollbars=no,titlebar=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,width=1024,height=710");
var gameURL:String = "http://opstraining.bcbsfl.com/NonPMI/RBMS/icb.swf";
var jscommand:String = "window.open('"+gameURL+"','win','width=1024,height=710,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,location =no,status=no,menubar=no');";
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
navigateToURL(url, "_self");

Unable to open CS3 Files from within the application

Good Afternoon
I work as IT Support for company looking after 10 ADOBE Creative Suite 3 end-users.
One of my colleagues is unable to open Illustrator or Photoshop files from within their respective applications, but she is able to open them from outside ok.
I have reinstalled ADOBE CS3 and this appeared to resolve the issue, only for it to return again a day later.
She has no other applications or processes running during her attempt to open a file from within CS3.
She will click on Open and the 'Open File' window will flash up for a split second, then the whole application will be frozen. It is as if the 'Open File' window is there, but isnt there because we cant click on it, but the application thinks it is displaying and so she can not click on anything else. The only way to close the application is to end the process under Task Manager.
While I am sitting here tearing what little amount of hair I have on my head, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Is this a Windows problem or an ADOBE problem do you think?
I look forward to any replies.
Thank you

Hi Bob
Ok...
Opened illustrator but was unable to open the 'Open File' window.
Changed the screen resolution, it suddenly worked!
Changed the screen resolution back to as it was before, it also worked.
What could cause this do you think?
By simply changing the screen resolution and back again, the 'Open File' window displayed itself.
Very bizarre!

PL/SQL: Executing a procedure from within another procedure

Hello, I'm a newbie and I need help on how to execute procedures from within another procedure. The procedure that I call from within the procedure have return values that I want to check.
I tried: EXECUTE(user_get_forum_info(p_forumid, var_forum_exists, var_forum_access, var_forumname));

you don't have to use execute when you want to execute a procedure (only on sql*plus, you would use it)
just give the name of the funtion
create or replace procedure test
as
begin
    dbms_output.put_line('this is the procedure test');
end test;
create or replace procedure call_test
as
begin
    dbms_output.put_line('this is the procedure call_test going to execute the procedure test');
    test;
end call_test;
begin
    dbms_output.put_line('this is an anonymous block calling the procedure call_test');
    call_test;

Fire event from within another event ?

It seems that an event fired from within another event does not
actually execute its code until the firing event completes. The fired
event's Time value in its Event Data Node indicates the time that it
was told to execute, but using GetTickCount calls shows that its code
does not execute until the firing event is finished. This happens
whether Value Signaling is used to generate a Value Change event or if
CreateUserEvent and GenerateUserEvent is used. Is this because events
are placed in a queue ? This behavior is different from Delphi for
example where the fired event executes right away when called from the
firing event (before the firing event completes).
I have an event that executes upon a button value change. I would
like that same event's code to execute when another button is pressed,
but also have other code in the second button's event execute after
that first button's event's code completes. Is there another way to
accomplish this ?

I'm not that familiar with Delphi, but LV events are asynchronous.
Window
s OS has two ways of firing events, Send and Post. The LV events
are always posted. The primary reason is that the LV events are handled
by a node, not by a callback. The node you are calling is in the middle
of a diagram, and reentering it not valid.

The best way to reuse code is to use subVIs. Firing events, or rather
sending events is pretty close in other events to making a function call
dispatched to anyone interested in the event. The event just hides who
you are calling and makes you put your parameters in a funny format
stuffed inside the event. IMO it also makes the code very hard to read
since you don't know what calls what.
Instead, just put the code into a sub
VI and call it whenever you need
to, from the event structure in one or more locations, and from other
loops and diagrams.

Need help to call a simple function from within another function?

I created a movieclip which has a function in its one and only frame.
function testx() {
x = x+2};
This movieclip is in the main timeline (in its own layer).
In another layer on the timeline I have created a single keyframe with a button instance called myBtn
myBtn.onRelease = function() {
var x
x =2
testx(2);
trace (x);
What I want to do is call the function in the movieclip frame from the button press function. However, I can't seem to reference it properly.
Can anyone help me to basically call a simple function from within another function?

Yes am using CS4. Have saved it as CS3 now. Ok the file is somewhat complicated and what I am testing is not what I ultimately want to do but if I can pass that variable I can figure it out. In terms of describing the file I think the only parts of importance are what I put in my previous post (please let me know if there is something I should be telling you that I have missed). I am 99.9% sure that I am using the correct instance name.
Scene1 Layer3 Frame1 has the function call for the button.
myBtn.onRelease = function() {
var x
x = 2
testx(2);
trace (x);
Slideshow layer //Actions Frame1 has the function
function testx(x) {
x = x+2};
thank you so much for helping me.

How can I call a LabVIEW executable from within another LabVIEW executable?

I have a customer requirement for two LabVIEW executables. Based on their current setup, they need to run executable "A" or "B", both of which are under independent revision control. I have created a third "selection" executable that allows the operator to choose between one of the two, but I am receiving errors when I attempt to call a LabVIEW executable from within a LabVIEW executable using either the "System exec" VI or the "Run Application" VI. If I call a non-LabVIEW executable (such as Windows Explorer) everything works fine.

As with the other poster, I suspect a path problem. You might try the
path out in a shell window, and if it works, copy the complete absolute
path to LV to see if that works. LV is basically passing the comma
nd to
the OS and doesn't even know what is in it, so you should be able to get
it to work.
The other poster commented on subpanels, which is a good suggestion, but
without going to LV7, an EXE can have open more than one VI. You can
use the VI Server and the Run method to fire up another top-level VI.
The decision is whether you want both to be in unique processes.

Cannot open pdf docs from within Eudora. Registry problem?

My email client is Eudora, which has worked well for many years, but it recently lost the ability to open pdf email attachments in Adobe Reader from within it.
I have tried the standard file association solution and that has not helped.
I am posting to see if anyone thinks my problem is caused by registry settings, and if so, if you can give me a lead on which settings to change and what to change them to. Here are details.
I am currently using Eudora 5.2. Adobe Reader 9.4 is my default pdf viewing software and OS is Vista Home Premium SP2.
I was recently given a nuance product, pdf converter pro 7, which set itself as my default pdf viewer.
I have succeeded in restoring Adobe Reader as my default pdf viewer (e.g., in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer), but now, when I try to click on a pdf attachment in Eudora, the file doesn't open and the following pops up in an error box:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel."
I have gone to the associations control panel and set Adobe Reader as my default program for opening pdf files. However that has had no effect on the problem in Eudora.
The attachments to emails in Eudora have the little Adobe pdf icon next to the file name and have a .pdf extension, but all I get when I click on them is the error message. If I right-click on the attachment's file name, I get a context menu, but if I click on "open with..." and then select to always open with Adobe Reader, the pdf attachment does not open and nothing changes.
If I try to use the context menu to do a "save as," to save the attached pdf somewhere on my hard drive, everything looks fine, except the pdf is not saved to the other folder.
Other files attached to my emails open fine from Eudora, as always (e.g., Word documents), just as pdf documents used to do for many years.
I can go to Eudora's attachments folder in Windows Explorer and open the attached pdfs from there, and they open in Adobe Reader and work fine. However, that takes time to hunt them down in the hundreds of attachment files, which I would rather avoid.
I tried reinstalling Eudora. The problem persists.
I assume nuance's pdf converter pro 7 hijacked an Adobe Reader registry setting, or maybe a Eudora registry setting, but I have not been able to find it and would not know what to do if I did.
Any suggestions for a fix will be appreciated.

No, I can't, sorry.

Open client socket from within a Web Service

Hello,
I need to open a client TCP/IP socket from within a Web Service-type WebLogic
Workshop app. When I try to read from the socket, the socket read operation hangs.
When I use the same code in a J2SE Java app on the same machine using Eclipse
everything works fine. It also works fine from within WebLogic, if I use a "URL"
object instead of a "Socket" object. (However, I cannot use this type of connection.)
Can anyone tell me how to work with raw TCP/IP sockets in this situation?

Hi Udi,
I have tested my code from within a Servlet and it works fine.
The Servlet and the Web Service both call the same simple JAVA class. This class wants to access a DB, and therefor, I am using the Data Source.
When the Servlet calls the class, everything works fine. But when I use the Web Service to call this class, I get the Exception "No attributes are implemented".
I hope this information helps you understanding my problem?
Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards,
Nadine

Calling a java application from within another class

I have written a working java application that accepts command line parameters through public static void main(String[] args) {} method.
I'm using webMethods and I need to call myapplication from within a java class created in webMethods.
I know I have to extend my application class within the webMethods class but I do not understand how to pass the parameters.
What would the syntax look like?
Thanks in advance!

why do you want to call the second class by its main method ??
Why not have another static method with a meaningfull name and well defined parameters ?
main is used by the jvm as an entry point in your app. it is not really meant for two java applications to communicate with each other but main and the code is not really readable.
Have a look at his sample
double myBalance = Account.getBalance(myAccountId);
here Account is a class with a static method getBalance which return the balance of the account id you passed.
and now see this one, here Account has a main method which is implemented to call getBalance.
String[] args = new String[1];
args[0] = myAccountId;
Account.main(args);
the problem with the code above is
main doesn't return anything so calling it does do much good. two the code is highly unreadable because no one know what does the main do... unlike the sample before this one where the function name getBalance clearly told what is the function doing without any additional comments.
hope this helps.... let me know if you need any additional help.
regards,
Abhishek.

Cannot open iwork documents from within the iwork program

I am running OSX Mountain Lion on an imac 3.06 GHz core duo. Everything is uptodate. I have documents from Numbers, Pages and Keynote stored on icloud. I can see them when I go to icloud.com. When I try to open them from within any of the iwork programs, all I can see is greyed out document icons.

Hello
It seems that Pages is coded to save an imported file (which is the case for a .doc one) in the folder from which it was imported.
When the folder belongs to a CD, this can't be done and Pages refuses to import the doc.
I's not a bug, it's a feature.
Delberate or not is an other question.
If this feature is annoying from your point of you, described the problem to the official channel because here we are users trying to help other users.
We are not members of the Pages team.
So, *go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Pages" menu* and describe what you wish.

Lag when calling BLS Transaction from within another

Using MII 12.0.
In MII class, they told us a "best practice" was to check the "Reload Transaction after Execution" box in the configuration of a Transaction call within a BLS. The reasoning behind it was that should this not be checked, a previous result of that called BLS transaction would still be cached in memory and used instead of the newly assigned values from within your calling BLS.
Checking the "Reload transaction after Execution" box forces MII to reload that transaction when it is called.
In time analysis, what has been noticed is that there's a significant - up to 9 seconds - lag time when one BLS calls another BLS. On a time-sensitive operation, that is an eternity. That amount of overhead defeats any hope of using common code libraries.
Questions -
1. Is this a true "best practice", or is it one that adds unnecessary overhead to a BLS?
2. If the calling BLS executes 1 time - but is subject to be executed multiple times over a certain interval - is checking the Reload box of the BLS it is calling unnecessary?
3. Even if you pass new data each time you call that BLS, is it still going to use/return whatever data it has cached until the cache expires?
4. Is there another way to ensure that the called BLS uses the data you pass it (and returns the corresponding result set) without incurring the amount of overhead that we have noted?
Thanks

The version we're on is 12.0.6 Build 13, and moving to 12.1 (something I am not directly involved in). In this version, I'm not seeing the menu options you describe, so it's apparently in 12.1 or later.
The issue we are having if the "Reload transaction after execution" box is not selected is indeed caching of values.
For example -
BLS1 runs every 5 minutes
BLS2 is called from BLS1, and in this case, retrieves error log info from a table - a common module used by several BLS's.
BLS3 is also called from BLS1, and in this case, writes to an error log using information retrieved from BLS2 from within the execution of BLS1. BLS2 & BLS3's calls are in 2 separate sequences, one after the other.
If BLS2 & BLS3 DO NOT have the "Reload Transaction after execution" checked, each will run with whatever the cached data in memory is for them, even though inside BLS1 I am assigning values to the input of BLS1 to send to BLS2, and passing the returned data from BLS2 into BLS3. Unless it's checked, BLS2 & BLS3 would continue to be called, however, it would be with whatever data has been cached for them.
If that "Reload" switch is checked, it will reload each transaction & call it with whatever data is being passed.
This was mentioned in the MII class I was in also. This is a generalization, but the way they described it was being similar to how you might save a web page to your local PC, and that unless that page is refreshed & changed, that from that point on, every time you brought up your saved web page, it would always display the same values in it. They didn't go into great deal to explain the mechanics of it, but MII would only load it the first time it executed, and that unless you forced it (by checking the Reload switch), it would always execute using the same cached values no matter what you were passing.

Finding hard and soft open file limits from within jvm in linux

Hi All,
I have a problem where I need to find out the hard and soft open file limits for the process in linux from within a java program. When I execute ulimit from the terminal it gives separate values for hard and soft open file limits.
From shell if I run the command then the output is given below:

Installing Oracle ODBC driver from within another installation

My application requires ODBC driver. Is it possible/recommended
to install the driver from within my installation program (other
than invokig the ODBC's setup program)? If so, what are the
files that need to be installed, the registry entries that need
to be updated and other activities perfromed?
Thanks
Michael

In order for the ODBC driver to function properly, the Oracle
client must have been installed on the user's machine. If the
Oracle client has been successfully installed, users will have
the Oracle ODBC driver.
Since the Oracle client install is very large as installers
go, you probably don't want to package this with your app. In
addition, the Oracle client installation is pretty significant
in terms of what it does, so you definitely don't want to try to
replicate that work in your installer.

How to call a procedure from within another procedure?

What's the syntax to call a procedure from within a procedure.
I have a procedure z(user_id IN number, ....)
then
procedure a (user_id IN number, ....)
procedure b (user_id IN number, ....)
procedure c (user_id IN number, ....)
I want to call procedure a, b, c from inside procedure z.
How would I do that?

Same way :
SCOTT@db102 SQL> create or replace procedure a (p1 in varchar2) is
2 begin
3     dbms_output.put_line (p1);
4* end;
SCOTT@db102 SQL> /
Procedure created.

2 begin
3     if par1 != 0 then
4             a ('This is proc a');
5     end if;
6* end;
SCOTT@db102 SQL> /
Procedure created.
SCOTT@db102 SQL> set serveroutput on
