Preloaders, loading order and -levels

Hi, everyone
I am using Flash 8 and AS2 for my project.
My website is now working just about as I like, as long as
the whole movie has loaded. I have a main time line and several
movie clips on the time line.
Only problem is, that the movie seems to load from beginning
to end, regardless which button you choose in the menu.
If you choose a button that takes you to a frame or a movie
clip that has not yet loaded, it will act confused and show you
something other than what you want.
I am new to _levels in Flash 8.
Does the level number decide in which order things load? My
feeling is that the hightest
level number loads first, and the main movie time line is
always _level0. Is that correct?
I am thinking, if I put a preloader in each frame that the
menu points to, in f.x. _level50, then the load order would go
straight to that particular chosen frame on the time line, run the
preloader and then the movie clip (or frames following it) ,
without loading anything undesireable in the meantime. And
eliminating delay.
Is that correct?
You see many good flash sites that run preloaders at the
beginning of each new menu point. They seem to very responsive.
Is that why?
Can anyone suggest a very simple preloader script, say for
just a progression bar, (I dont care about numbers running)
that would take me to the exact frame that I want to load,
run the preloader and then the next frame?
Should the preloader be located in the frame preceding the
frame you want people to see? Or should it be imbedded in the
movieclip (if I am using a movie clip)
I want to be able to re-use the preloader easily.
Also the latest preloader scripts I have seen do not seem to
allow you to select how many frames you want loaded of the
_parent time time line before going to it. It seems you used
to be able to decide how many frames it should load.

Related to this, is there any default behaviour on the order between WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib? I guess WEB-INF/classes are found first but not sure if this is official and guaranteed behaviour.The Servlet specification (Section 10.5, page 78) defines the order of loading for WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib as follows:
>
The contents of the WEB-INF directory are:
The /WEB-INF/web.xml deployment descriptor.
The /WEB-INF/classes/ directory for servlet and utility classes. The classes in this directory must be available to the application class loader.
The /WEB-INF/lib/*.jar area for Java ARchive files. These files contain servlets, beans, static resources and JSPs packaged in a JAR file and other utility classes useful to the Web application. The Web application class loader must be able to load classes from any of these archive files.
The Web application class loader must load classes from the WEB-INF/classes directory first, and then from library JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory.

Unlicenced Options in OWB- target load ordering & variables in workflows

In need to perform overall repository check-up , to see if unlicenced "features" : Target Load Order and Variables in Workflows have been used in Mappings.
Ideally, I would just like to wirte a query, to "comb" the repository and find the offending Mappings and Workflows.
The problem is : I don't know which tables to query - the view structure in Repository is pretty complex. The view ALL_IV_OBJECT_CONFIGURATIONS seemed like a good starting point for detecting usage of target load ordering but I kept getting ORA-22835(since there are CLOBS in underlaying tables) and couldnt get rid of that , since there are 10 levels of sub-views underneath-so I lost track and am not sure which column refers to CLOB any more..
Can anybody help me ? Is there a way at all to retrieve this kind of information from the repository ?

Reggy,
for list of used variables in processflow use ALL_IV_PROCESS_VARIABLES OWB public view.
Regarding Target Load Order - maybe using ONLY configuration property Target Load Ordering is not the base case because this flag enabled by default for new mapping. You need to perform additional check - that mapping contains more then one target table.
I cannot help with ALL_IV_OBJECT_CONFIGURATIONS view (ORA-22835, on OWB 10.2.0.3 have same error), instead try OMB*Plus script like this
OMBCC '/PROJ/TARGET_MODULE'
set mapList [OMBLIST MAPPINGS]
foreach mapName $mapList {
# it is a configuration property Use Target Load Ordering
set targetOrderFlag [OMBRETRIEVE MAPPING '$mapName' GET PROPERTIES(TARGET_LOAD_ORDERING)]
# it is coma separated list of target tables
set targetTabList [OMBRETRIEVE MAPPING '$mapName' GET PROPERTIES(TARGET_LOAD_ORDER)]
# check that targetTabList contains more than one tables

Font load order

I have a situation where Arial Narrow (TT)v 1.15 and Arial Narrow OTTT v 2.35 are installed in the library/fonts folder. when I open a doc on my 10.5x mac(created elsewhere on a mac) that uses the older version in ID3 , it will not even see the older TT, but wants to substitute the 2.35. How can I force ID to recognize two versions of this font or at least to use the older one when called for?I have to swap this file back and forth several times during a production cycle and it's a gib pain in the butt. There are about five fonts like this in the document.
If there's an article about font loading order and/or recognition, I'd love to read it. I coudn't find one.

[edited to fix font display]

Very simply, you can't have two versions of the same font, with
identical internal font names, installed on the same system or in use
at the same time.
A font manager could activate your choice of sets of fonts, then
de-activate them when done. This is the equivalent of installing and
un-installing automatically.
I don't know how it works on a Mac (for operating system specific
questions, you'd be better off in an operating system forum), but
under Windows, the installed font takes precedence (it doesn't allow
multiple fonts with the same font name to be installed in the first
place); if not installed, the first one opened dynamically is the one
used - BUT it can get confused. Type 1 and Truetype fonts aren't
always handled the same way, just to confuse things further.

Parent-Child Apps and Classloading...Wrong load order?

Ah, everyone's favourite two oracle topics slammed into one. I've been using Oracle's parent-child application deployment for some time, to reasonable success in Oracle App Server 9.0.4. Though screwing about with the classloaders in this way usually fills me with dread, the benefits of developing child apps in isolation from the parent are excellent.
In general I have always deployed in the following way:
server.xml
<application name="msip-app" path="../applications/msip-app.ear" parent="default" start="true" />
<application name="msip-services" path="../applications/msip-services.ear" parent="msip-app" start="true" />
default-web-site.xml
<web-app application="msip-app" name="msip-web" load-on-startup="true" root="/msip" />
<web-app application="msip-services" name="msip-services" load-on-startup="true" root="/msip-ws" />
orion-application.xml (parent app)
<library path="./msip-web/WEB-INF/classes" />
<library path="./msip-web/WEB-INF/lib" />
(Note: this generic approach has always worked...)
Now I am trying to upgrade to oc4j 10.1.3.x, and I seem to be trapped in configuration hell. OC4J now appears to load the child application first, which inevitably screws up the classloader for the parent app. Surely this doesn't make any sense, as the parent app is the dependency and should be started first?!
I haven't discovered any way to control the load order for apps in the config files; the only workaround is to set the load-on-startup for the child app to "false". This is fine, until I redeploy through Oracle EM, which switches load-on-startup back to true. Again, there doesn't seem to be any way in deployment to control this parameter!
Why in the heck would oc4j have changed it's load priority for parent child apps? Is there any way to force load order through config? Am I just crazy and no one else has seen this?
Help.

Thanks for the reply. Gave that a look, but unfortunately, that link concerns a problem at a lower level than the one I've encountered. A classloading problem alerted me to what I believe is a bigger issue, namely that oc4j appear to be launching my child app before the parent app, and this consistently screws up the initialisation phases for both ear files. This appears to be an explicit decision in the Oracle app loader about which war file (parent or child) to launch first, but for the life of me, I can't find the offending code by decompiling oc4j.
If it turns out that this intentional, surely this must be a mistake? The parent app is the dependency and must be loaded first! or I missing something big...

Load order overwrite impossible and ORA-01790

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 11g Rel. 1 EE and I have some problems with a mapping in OWB. I mapped my customer dimension (SCD type 2) with the corresponding tables. The first problem is that I can't overwrite the load order for this dimension.
I've set up the customer dimension with following levels: customer, city, state, country, region and I also configured the foreign keys. The load order is changing every time I do an inbound synchronization for this dimension. In the manual it is written that the order is based on the foreign key relations but it is not in the correct order. When I try to change the loading order within the mapping and save the mapping, the settings will be resetted after I closed the mapping window. Why is the loading order changing all the time, although the dimension has not changed? And why can't I overwrite the loading order in the mapping, is there any restriction for this setting?
My second problem is that I get the error: ORA-01790: expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression. In the sql code it seems that the problem is my attribute "Birthyear". The source table delivers an integer value for age. The dimension stores the birthyear as char(4). Therefore I used an expression to convert the age into the correct year as char(4), but I still get the error message. I assume that the compiler gives me the correct line number where the problem occurs and it is always where Birthyear occurs. Did anybody experience a similar problem and knows a solution for this?
Greetings,
Joerg

The post Was truncated... here is the rest of the story:
And what is worst: I can not drop the table because I receive an ORA-00600 !
I can not even drop the USER, I still receive ORA-00600.
I would really appreciate any help. All I want is to drop the user and clean
up my database.

Jose Hime

Want to see combination of Purchase Order and A/P report at material level

Hello,
Anyone familiar with an InfoProvider that will show a combination of Purchase Order and A/P data combined?
I'm specifically looking for a source that includes the PO information at the Vendor / Material level with order value and quantity at the time the PO was created AND accounts payable data at the Vendor / Material level with the invoiced amount and quantity (which may vary for the PO amounts).
Thank you,
Jim

Sale Order Item Level Text Field which table and field

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply and best solution.
Can you please tell me one more thing, in sale order at item level the TEXT Field maintaining by user at transaction level now they want that field in one of the report, so can you please tell what is the table and field where i will get this sale order item level text details.

Hello,
is this going to work for item level text as well.
can you tell how to proceed with this functional module
or is there any other thing required.Please elaborate to
understand better way.
You can check out two table in respect to Sales TEXT i.e. STXH (STXD SAPscript text file header) and STXL(SAPscript text file lines).
The best approach of tracing out the Text in respect to Sales Order would be to use the Function module READ_TEXT and put this FM in SE37 and execute with the following parameter.
Client
Text ID of text to be read
Language of text to be read
Name of text to be read
Object of text to be read
Archive handle
Text catalog local
When you are essentially looking to read item level Text with respect to Sales Order then your Text OBject would be VBBP.

Undesired Load order of FLV and MP3s

Hello
I have added a scrolling Flash page with a FLV and several
MP3 files in each their own player to site below.
I have set the video to autostart.
The MP3s are set to not autostart.
When I export the FLA the swf nicely plays the video first,
and the mp3s are loading in the background simultaniously.
When viewing the page in Firefox and Netscape the same
happens, just as intended.
Problem:
But in IE and Safari all the sound files are loading first
(and not playing) and not until they are fully loaded will the
video start loading and playing. This results in viewing an empty
video window for a long time.
1) Is there are way to make all browsers load the video first
and play it first?
2) And in general manage load order of video and audio files
in a Flash file?
Thank you on beforehand.
ggaarde
http://www.corpstory.com/video.htm

no, the sounds wouldn't be playing until you used the start()
method of those sound instances or you assigned the source property
of your mediaplayer and you wouldn't want to do either until your
flv completed play.
in fact, it would be optimal to first load one sound: the mp3
that follows the flv. then when that sound completed loading, load
the 2nd sound.

DMS Object Link at Maintenence Order and Service order level

Hi SAP Gurus,
We had a requirement for maintaining DMS Object at Service order and maintenence order level, as Standard DMS does not provide any Standard Object link at Order level, we went for development and following the Standard procedure i could bring the Order Tab in CV01N Object Links, and also i could search the relavent maintenence order and maintain documents relevant to it,
But the biggest problem now is i could not create DIR from the Maintenence or service order screen IW31, and the document i have placed at the order is not visible in the order screen at all,
i know it is some sort of enhancement in the Order screen to allow DMS Documents to appear in the Order screen to provide this funtionality.
let me pls know what exactly has to be done, as there is no config at the order level to get the DMS Screen, as DMS is not a standard object at the order level.
one approch as suggested is modifiying the Order screen or using Screen Exit Enhancement for Order but not sure which one to use or how to move ahead,
Thanks n Regards
Priya S

Dear Christoph Hopf
Many Thanks for your answer,
i went through the said SAP Note, but it only speaks about the notifications level, where SAP itself has provided the standard DMS Object links, and iam in latest ECC-6 version where this note is taken care of i think,
iam looking for creating DMS Document (DIR) from the maintenence Order IW31 transaction screen, and have developed new Object link for Maintenence order,
but the main problem is, iam not able to create DIR from the IW31 Screen directly as Maintennce order is not a standard SAP Object,
please let me know how to get the list of documents that i have attached to a maintenence order to appear in the IW32 maintenence order screen, and also we need to create the documents (DIR) directly from IW31 / 32 screens.
Thanks and Regards,
PriyaS

Loading SWF into level and setting height/width/location?

Hi folks, I am an old AS2 guy who gave up on Flash heavy coding when it switched to AS3. Always thought it was less intuitive, longer, and a brand new language and I got tired of trying to keep up when most of my clients did not want to pay for a full flash site. But I got this client...
Here's the problem, I can load a swf into my main stage or into an MC , but I cannot find out anywhere how to set parameters or load into a level so it doesn't replace the current material or fix to a size that doesn't block my other material.
I've gotten this far:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
loadGallery();
function loadGallery():void
var l:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("shortstack.swf");
l.load(req);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, galleryLoaded);
function galleryLoaded(e:Event):void
addChild(e.target.loader);
What i want to do is load shortstack.swf into level 5, say, and fix it to the bottom left corner of the stage, and set its height to 400px and width to 980.
I have a an MC on the stage at those exact dimensions called placeholderMC, but I cannot figure out a way to target it, and the tutorials I've read have to do with loading on CLICK (I want it to load on enterFrame), and none of them tell me how to set parameters, as I could in old AS2.
FWIW, AS3 may be more powerful, but AS2 was easier to understand.
TIA,
Jeff

New sales order and Change sales order in item level or delete at item leve

I got one requirement. Daily i have to display one report on new sales orders created on that day and any sales order item is modified or any item is deleted or any item is added.
                  How to get the sales order numbers and position numbers which will follow above creteria. I found one function module but it is not giving position numbers and new sales order details.
         Is there any BAPI for this requirement.

I am using "CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ" function module to get the new sales orders created and changed sales order items on a particular time. This function module is getting data from CDHDR and CDPOS tables. But only change sales orders is coming. New sales orders which is created on that time is not getting.
          One of my friend is telling like we have to activate one change pointer to retrive new sales orders also. Which is like there will be one check box.
Is any body having idea on this. Please reply me on briefly with the code to retrive new sales orders and changed sales orders

SWF Load order.

Hello all,
I have a group of FC outputs that I have used to create a virtual tour of my client's showroom here:
electronic-lifestyle.com
But the SWF files I have linked in the FXP are loading from back to front. The last Page is loading first and the first loads last creating some issues. I have one more pass I need to maker to fix some glitches with the vertical scroll bar and several other points but I need to know if I can adjust the order in which the SWF files load into the page. I would prefer they load when called for but if that is not possible I would like to load from the first page to the last.
On an associated thought, is it possible to create a progress bar in FC or Flash that will give the viewer some feed back on the SWF files loading in. Right now the area is blank until they arrive.
I have a feeling that this level of control is something achieved in Flash Builder, not in FC. That is fine, I am planning on importing the file into FB to enable deep linking anyway but since there is no round trip function I figured I would get all of the FC work finished first, then go into FB and make whatever changes need to happen there.
It is starting to seem silly that the two programs were separated to begin with. It seems a natural evolution that Catalyst and Builder be joined into the same application sometime in the near future. Once the round trip issue is taken care of, why not just work toward combining the two apps?
Anyway, if someone could give me a pointer on the load order issue that would be wonderful.
Thanks,
Brett
