Probably a simple solution to tweak a particle preset, please help

I am doing an effect for a friends video where a UFO is hanging in the air. I have tweaked the look of the 'Pulsing Laser Star' to what I want, however, the camera pans from the actors face to the light. I can't figure out how to already have it there. it's always births from nothing. I have tried setting the birthrate to 0 and the initial number up but that doesn't do it. I haven't used Motion all that much but I liked the look of this particle. Probably something simple. Can anyone offer any advice?

You mean you need a particle emiter to just stand still?

Probably a simple solution, but . . .

Hi there - There is probably a simple fix to this - and it probably doesn't even matter, but I'm curious. When I attach an exported file to an email, it is attaching as a picture of the document, rather than as an icon with the document's name. The thing is, it used to attach as the icon and not the actual document. I know it probably doesn't matter, but I liked it better when attaching the icon representing the doc. I've probably hit a button or flipped a switch I didn't know I hit or flipped, but where is it and how can I reset it? Thanks a lot!
Craig

Craig,
I may not have understood the original question. The comment and action James has posted would relate to whether a file would View in Place as you compose -- it does not impact what is sent.
However, I thought you were describing the file Icon as having a Preview or Thumbnail, and not a full View in Place? If a file has a photo-like thumbnail, it is the result of the saving of the file, and not something in Mail.
Please clarify?

Can't run very simple DOM parsing source on my machine - please help :(

Hi Guys,
I am trying to run the following very simple program on my machine to parse a very simple XML file.
It just returns Document object NULL.
Same code is working fine on another machine.
Note: there is no silly mistake. i have valid xml file at valid place.
Please help.
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import java.io.*;
class XML
     public static void main(String[] args)
          try{
               String caseFile = "c:\\case-config\\config.xml";
               DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               factory.setValidating(true);
               DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
               Document doc = builder.parse(caseFile);
               System.out.println("\n\n----" + doc);
          }catch(Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
}

You could also work with JDOM, which I find easier to use than regular DOM:
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import java.io.FileReader;
import org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder;
import org.jdom.Document;
String caseFile = "c:/case-config/config.xml";
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new FileReader(caseFile));
SAXBuilder builder= new SAXBuilder();
Document document = builder.build(inputSource);Just an alternate suggestion.

Entered Wrong Email Address : Help Needed - Probably a Simple Solution But Driving Us Crazy

Recently, when signing into a website I have used successfully many times - I accidentally typed in the last few letters of my email address wrongly ( email address and password are required to log on to the site) Now I can't access the site at all because I enter my correct email address when asked, but as soon as I move down to enter my password...the email address reverts back to the one I typed in wrongly and of course the site dosent recognize me. I have turned off and on my auto fill thing, cleared my cookies, reset Safari, tried all the simple things I know but they haven't worked. I suspect the solution will be an easy one for those that know more than I do ( which isn't alot!) and would be grateful for some quick advice!

You will need to contact the website. Have you checked to see if the site has customer or tech support?

This is probably a simple solution, but, so far, not for me.

I have a MacBook running Tiger. I moved my iTunes Library to an external HD. iTunes works fine for me, but I'd like all the accounts on my machine to be able to access iTunes easily. I've repaired permissions, changed permissions, etc. all to no avail. My sons and wife cannot use my iTunes library.
Is there a simple setting I can use so that all the accounts on my MacBook can use, listen to, add to and access my iTunes library? Any help is appreciated.
TIA

I get a message that says the iTunes Library file is locked
Where is your iTunes Library file located? For your purposes, it should be in the ~user/Music/iTunes folder. If you moved it to the eHD, you should ideally copy that file (and iTunes Music Library.xml) back to your Mac, then launch iTunes with the Option key pressed down, then Choose Library.., then point to where you moved it back to.
The basic principle is this : if you want all users to have their own playlists etc, then everyone needs their own iTunes Library file, preferably in their own user account, in the Music/iTunes folder.
To learn more about how iTunes handles content, libraries, etc, read this article : http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
Finally, if you are having problems with permissions on an external drive, I'm wondering how it is formatted? If in MS-DOS FAT32 it MAY be the cause of your problem, in which case you should back up everything on there and reformat to Mac OS X Extended.

Probably a simple solution :-)

Hi,
Im rather new to Java. My program is compiling but when I run it, it simply prints out:
1
Please enter a filename to read from
Then ending...It doesnt seem to want to do anything with the BibParser.
import java.util.regex.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class BibParser{
public static void main(String[] args){
    try{
      System.out.println("1");
      BibParser p = new BibParser(args[0]);
      System.out.println("2");
    } catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e){
      System.err.println("Please enter a filename to read from");
      System.exit(0);
    }catch (IOException e) {
      System.err.println("Error reading from file: "+args[0]);
      System.exit(0);
public BibParser(String file) throws IOException {
       System.out.println("3");I think this is the relevant chunk of code.... I would be expecting to see it print out the number 3. Or is it me?
Any help will be appreciated :-)

I know it makes a new instance of the BibParser class, but what does the args part
of it do, why do I need this?Yes it makes a new BibParser. But if you look at the constructor (at the end of your code), you'll see that when a new BibParser is made it is based on a String file. In effect you send the constructor a String (the file name) and you get back a BibParser.
args[0] is the string that you are sending as the file name.
As for what args is... When you start the program, as well as "javac" and the name of the main class ("BibParser") you can add other instructions. These other instructions (also known as arguments) make up the args array in your main() method. You can access them as args[0], args[1] etc. So the command to start your application might be:java -cp . BibParser c:\temp\bibtest.datWhen main() starts up it will have an args array, and in particular args[0] will be the String "c:\temp\bibtest.dat".
The lineBibParser p = new BibParser(args[0]);should now make a bit more sense. It will construct a new BibParser based on the file (name) c:\temp\bibtest.dat and assign it to p.
Your if statement should check the length of the args array to make sure a file name has actually been specified. Maybe something like (between "1" and "2"):String filename;
if(args.length == 0) {
    System.out.println("Please enter a filename to read from:");
    BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader ( new InputStreamReader ( System.in ) );
    filename = stdin.readLine();
} else {
    filename = args[0];
BibParser p = new BibParser(filename);

Probably Really Simple Solution (Where Exists in Update Statement)

Right,
I have one table. In this table there are 5 fields for arguments sake:
COLUMN_ONE COLUMN_TWO COLUMN_THREE COLUMN_FOUR COLUMN_FIVE
On this table there will be duplicate records, but only column 1, column 2 and column 3 on these "duplicate" records will be the same, column 4 will differ (column 4 is not a unique identifier, but if there are duplicate records it will be different between at least 2 records). Column 5 is not yet populated, it's all null.
I need a way of updating column 5 on these duplicate records. However, I would only like to update it on one of the records and the criteria for this will be where column_4 = 'hello.'
So far I've came up with a update statement similar to the following but I don't know where to with it:
UPDATE DANS_TABLE
SET COLUMN_five = 'DUPLICATE'
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT column_one||column_two||column_three, COUNT(*)
FROM DANS_TABLE
GROUP BY column_one||column_two||column_three
HAVING ( COUNT(*) > 1 )) and column_four = 'hello';
Thanks a lot for any help!!! Very much appreciated,
Dan

Here is the query that updates only one duplicate row for column_five. Hope this helps..
UPDATE DANS_TABLE x1
SET COLUMN_five = 'DUPLICATE'
WHERE EXISTS
select r_id from
( select max(rowid) r_id,column_one||column_two||column_three
from DANS_TABLE t1 where exists
select str from
SELECT column_one||column_two||column_three str, COUNT(*)
FROM DANS_TABLE
GROUP BY column_one||column_two||column_three
HAVING ( COUNT(*) > 1 )
) t2 where t2.str = t1.column_one||t1.column_two||t1.column_three
) group by column_one||column_two||column_three
) x2 where x1.rowid=x2.r_id
) and column_four = 'hello';

Probably a simple solution to a problem that has me baffled: javac

I have downloaded the software and set the classpath. My old programs do run, however the compiler wouldn't take javac as a command when I tried to compile a test program.
It gives me this message: 'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I'm incredibly confused why it understand the java command but won't compile any source code!
Thanks!

if you are running windows:
open file c:\autoexec.bat
put something like:
set path=%path%;c:\j2sdk1.4.2_02\bin;
set classpath=%classpath%;.;C:\;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_02\jre\lib\plugin.jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_02\jre\lib\servlet.jar;
you have to specify the location of the folder containing the java.exe file. In my system, it is
c:\j2sdk1.4.2_02\bin
then, at the DOS prompt, type autoexec.bat.

I am still having issues with the TOC. I finally got several chapters and sections to show different pictures in the TOC, but have spent hours trying to figure out how to repeat it. This should be so simple. Is there an update? Please help us Apple.

I am still having issues with the TOC pictures. I got several chapter/section photos to show up, but can't seem to repeat this success. It is some mystery that happened during a time that I had practically given up. This should be such a simple thing. Drag and place a picture into the placeholder and it shows up in the TOC....right? Help, help help! want to get this thing done and it's taken two days of work just get some of the photos to show up. I am going to have to publish this ibook with no photos in several sections.....why can't this be simple? I have even had someone else spend hours trying to figure this out. This software is such a GREAT idea....come on...help with this little part of it.

I had the same problem myself. I got to the point where I couldn't replace the photo, of a new chapter, in the TOC. What I did was to duplicate an existing chapter that was working and was able to replace it's TOC's photo. I also found that if you try different areas of the photo you can sometimes get it to replace correctly. For example, instead of dragging the new photo to the middle of an existing photo, try dragging it to the right top corner.

Before we can help you we will need more information. Did you try to reset the phone while it was charging by holding the power button and home button until you saw the apple then let go? Please give a summary of what you have attempted, any error messages, what do you see on the screen, if anything.

Hmmmm. It might be worth checking to see if you're getting a Windows drive letter confusion on that laptop. See the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

You are right Justin. Oracle is not stupid as you may want to say some times when things do not happen according to you. I just created a bitmap index on status field and look what appened. Som times it uses bitmap index and some times it does not. And the reason is clear. Row count by status. 'S' status uses bitmap index where 'P' does not.
Thanks for your help.

Use a URL object to locate your image instead of a string. To do that, import the java.net.* library and create a URL object for your image:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
//import com.borland.jbcl.layout.*;
import java.net.*;
public class Picker extends JPanel
    //String imageFile = "Images/knob.jpg";
    Class cl = ((Picker) this).getClass();
    URL imageURL=cl.getResource("Images/knob.jpg");
    // Create JPanel and set the dimensions so that the crosshairs go in the right place
    Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageURL);
    JPanel hSPickerPanel = new JPanel()
}To view your Panel, you have to add a "main" method and create a frame to display your panel:
public class Picker extends JPanel
    void jButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    public static void main(String[] args)
     Picker p=new Picker();
     JFrame frame=new JFrame("Picker Example");
     frame.getContentPane().add(p);
     frame.setVisible(true);
     frame.pack();
}You can see your panel by:
- compiling: javac Picker.java
- and running your application with the "main" method: java Picker

Probably a simple newbie question...

Hi. I'm teaching myself DVD SP (4.2) by putting together a very simple project but am stumped on what's probably an obvious solution.
I have as my first play a quick slideshow with an accompanying music track. It automatically goes into my main Menu as its End Jump. I'd like that music track to continue on uninterrupted into the Menu. How do I do that? Right now it cuts out as it goes into the Menu.
Thanks in advance...

Make the slideshow in the other apps or you can change the slideshow to a track (make sure to make a copy it is only one way conversion) then bring that into a track (or add the other elements to the end of the converted slideshow) and use buttons over video to make a "menu"
Often you can make the similar slideshow quickly in iMovie or iPhoto if needed then bring that into FInal Cut (or AE) to finish the rest of the movie
