Quick image question - clipping or windowing a section of a larger image

I've forgotten what it's called, to search the documentation, so maybe someone here can help me to remember...
I know it's a lot better to use one image, with clipping regions, rather than a lot of little images, so I've created a graphic which contains all of the 32x32 pixel images I want to use in my app. I can easily display the entire image, just fine and it's scaled properly.
Now, how do I display a specific 32x32 pixel rect at a specified place on the main window, possibly displaying multiple copies of one or more of the smaller images at different places on the main window simultaneously. (like game pieces, or a terrain map).
Code would be nice, but a pointer to the right documentation will be best. It seems I should be able to do this with one hidden window containing the graphic, and then multiple instances displayed in a separate main window.
Do I need to use 2 windows, or can the image reside in memory and not be part of a view except when drawn on the main window?

simply add "/mac/library/" between developer.apple.com and documentation in the links!
(someone tell Apple to tell their webservers to do this automagiccally It would save developers a lot of time!

Can't access old ver. 9, 11 & 13 clips after Windows upgrade

In Sept. 2014 I downloaded PE 13 from B&H, worked fine and was able to access old PE9 & PE11 clips. In Dec. 2014 had problems with Wind. 7 Home Ed. and had to upgrade to 8.1 (decided on Pro). Installed 8.1 Pro end of Dec. 2014 and bought PE 13 DVD from B&H to reinstall after I backed up my hard drive. Problem after install of 8/1 Pro and installing PE13 from DVD I can't access and restore old clips from 9, 11 & 13. Tried everything I can think of....any suggestions PLEASE!

Very good, I completely understand. Please understand "I am not a computer geek!"
With the old computer system, you have Premiere Elements 9, 11, and 13 projects. And, you import media into each and see thumbnails for each of your imports in the project media area of the program (in version 11 and 13, called Project Assets). CORRECT! Please as we go forward I have the PE 13 that was downloaded from B&H and worked perfectly with my previous assets in PE 9 & 11.
When you go to open a project in one of these programs and go to the project media area, do the source media thumbnails still show as before with image in the thumbnail? Or does the thumbnail have a display of circular arrows? If the present as before, can you drag the file from the project media area to the Timeline? If you cannot, it that the problem? NO! (First info is when I set up my new PE 13 after copying all data to a 1T desk drive and loaded Windows 8.1 Pro to replace my Windows 7 Home Edition, I set up the PE 13 and used 64 bit as suggested.) NOW...When I locate my previous Project Assets on the 1T drive they show as "red blocks" with a play arrow in them where previously were thumbnails, but I can't retrieve them. As such there is nothing to add to the timeline. Last night I added to the NEW PE 13 a 22 min program I'm working on. I have all those assets, thumbnails and everything is working as wonderfully as it did in 9, 11 and downloaded 13.
Now in response to a previous question you asked:
1. When you open Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace, go to Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, do you see a list of presets when you explore
the Presets" field there? NO.... I can get to /Computer but there is no QuickTime there! I did download QuickTime yesterday after your suggestion.
2. You wrote
Restarted PE13 and received the message "The selected file cannot be played becuse your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser (codec) installed.
Where are you getting the selected file---- from Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace Project Assets to where it was imported originally from a hard drive save location?
Or other? What is the specific full name of one of these files that is giving the error message?
With everything I've been trying, I'll have to recreate this series of events to answer directly.
When you did the switch from Windows 7 Home to Windows 8.1, did you go 64 bit to 64 bit or 32 bit to 64 bit in operating system? Help me with a way to determine what the bit was on 9 & 11!
Were two separate computers involved or did you manage to change the operating all on one computer? All on one Computer
The major focus for me right now is to make sure I know what file triggers the ".....not have the required compressoer/decompressor (codec)"? And to know that
you are in the Premiere Elements 13 Editor and not the Organizer 13 workspace. Help me understand!!!! I know the difference between "Add Media", "Project Assets", "Organizer", "Editor" and "Workspace". But "Project Assets" and "Workspace" are part of "Editor", so I don't understand your question.

Quick NativeWindow questions.

Hi,
Two Quick Questions about native window actions (I am using AIR with HTML and JS):
1. How do you "refer" to minimize button ? - So, when a user clicks minimize, it should do an action defined in javascript.
2. How to define click event for System tray icon ? - So I can display something when my system tray icon is double-clicked.
Thanks.

1. Add an event listener to the window.nativeWindow object, listening for the NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent.DISPLAY_STATE_CHANGING or DISPLAY_STATE_CHANGE events.
2. Add an event listener to your SystemTrayIcon object. You can listen for click, mouseUp or mouseDown events, but doubleClick events are not dispatched by this object.

Can you change the default size of the Clip Monitor window in PE 13?

Can someone please confirm whether it is possible to change the default size of the clip monitor window in Premiere Elements 13. Searching this question brings up a reply to someone who asked the same question about PE 7; the answer then was to open the clip monitor window, adjust its size and then leave it open for the duration of the editing session. Is this still valid for PE 13, or is there some other way of adjusting the default size of the window so that the next session opens at the same size as the last one? Help appreciated.
CD.

Major Sparky
Just a supplemental observations
There are certain actions even in the project that remains open that will close the opened, sized, and positioned Project Window.
Also
1. If you go to dual monitor system, typically the program does not remember the dual monitor setup when the project is saved closed and reopened.
2. If you use the project without a dual monitor system and save close project with the Preview Window open, sized, and positioned, when you re-open the project, the Preview Window is gone and would need to be reopened, sized, and positioned again.

Editing quick time movie clips with sound

We are editing together some quick time movie clips but we can't get the sound to come up.
Is there something we are doing wrong? Can you split the voice from the visual when you bring these clips into Final Cut?

A QuickTime movie can be made from any number of codecs. Which one are you working with?
If it's an MPEG video, chances are it will need to be demuxed. You can use MPEG Streamclip for this and other conversions.

Hi all .hope all is well ..A quick trim question

Hi all
Hope all is well ......
I have a quick trim question I want to remove part of a string and I am finding it difficult to achieve what I need
I set the this.setTitle(); with this
String TitleName = "Epod Order For:    " + dlg.ShortFileName() +"    " + "Read Only";
    dlg.ShortFileName();
    this.setTitle(TitleName);
    setFieldsEditable(false);
[/code]
Now I what to use a jbutton to remove the read only part of the string. This is what I have so far
[code]
void EditjButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    String trim = this.getTitle();
      int stn;
      if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -2)
        trim = trim.substring(stn);
    this.setTitle(trim);
[/code]
Please can some one show me or tell me what I need to do. I am at a lose

there's several solutions:
// 1 :
//you do it twice because there's a space between "read" and "only"
int stn;
if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -1){
    trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -1){
      trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
//2 :
//if the string to remove is always "Read Only":
if ((stn = trim.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf("READ ONLY")) != -1){
   trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
//3: use StringTokenizer:
StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(trim," ");
    String result="";
    int count=st.countTokens();
    for(int i=0;i<count-2;i++){
      result+=st.nextToken()+" ";
    trim=result.trim();//remove the last spaceyou may find other solutions too...
perhaps solution 2 is better, because you can put it in a separate method and remove the string you want to...
somthing like:
public String removeEnd(String str, String toRemove){
int n;
String result=str;
if ((n = str.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf(toRemove.toUpperCase())) != -1){
   result= str.substring(0,stn);
return result;
}i haven't tried this method , but it may work...

How to divide the Prompts window in sections?

Hello,
I'm a beginner in Web Intelligence and BO, I have a report with a lot of prompt filters, I want to divide the Prompts window in sections, Is that possible? I'm using web intelligence to generate my reports.
Thank you,
Marcela

Hi,
Yes this is possible by using the concept of cascaded prompts in universe.
Tools - List of Values - Create cascading list of values.
In webi, you would see the prompts on same screen and in the same order you selected the list of values.
Thanks,
Jayendra.

I strongly recommend that you install iTunes to the default C: paths. You can change the perferences to keep the actual music files on your D: partition.

I would like to be able to clip out a rectangular section of any screen on the iPad (not just web pages)

I would like to be able to clip out a rectangular section of any screen (not just web pages and not just text pages) on the iPad and then email that clip or send it to Evernote or whatever. I can't find any means of doing this. I know how to take full screen shots and crop, but that's a poor solution.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

That is not a feature of iOS and no 3rd party app would be able to do that. You're going to need to continue taking a full screen shot and cropping it.

Crashing when clicking on clip appearance window

Final Cut X is crashing and logging users off when selecting/clicking anywhere on the "clip appearance" window. Has anybody seen this happen? We have about 34 iMacs doing this. All other software installed seem to function well with no other issues. Systems are currently running 10.6.8 with two partitions on a 500gb drive. Thanx.

What software version?

re- directs back to the main index page after a few seconds ?
Thankyou for any help.

I don't think I "gave" you that script. I might have corrected a problem with it, but I certainly didn't write the original script.
What you're using is far from perfect, but to suggest it would lay you open to MySQL injection attacks is ludicrous. For you to be prone to MySQL injection, you would need to be entering the data into a MySQL database, not sending it by email.
There is a malicious attack known as email header injection, which is a serious problem with many PHP email processing scripts. However, to be prone to email header injection, you would need to use the fourth argument of mail() to insert form data into the email headers. Since your fourth argument is null, that danger doesn't exist.
One thing that might be worth doing is checking that the email address doesn't contain a lot of illegal characters, because that's a common feature of header injection attacks. This is how I would tidy up your script:
<?php
$suspect = '/Content-Type:|Bcc:|Cc:/i';
// send the message only if the E-mail field looks clean
if (preg_match($suspect, $_POST['E-mail'])) {
header('Location: http://www.example.com/sorry.html');
exit;
} else {
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Feedback form results';
// prepare the message body
$message = 'Name: ' . $_POST['Name'] . "\n";
$message .= 'E-mail: ' . $_POST['E-mail'] . "\n";
$message .= 'Phone: ' . $_POST['Phone'] . "\n";
$message .= 'Message: ' . $_POST['Message'];
// send the email
mail($to, $subject, $message);
header('Location: http://www.example.com/thankyou.html');
exit;
?>
Create a new page called sorry.html, with a message along the lines of "Sorry, there was an error sending your message". Don't put anything about illegal attacks. Just be neutral.
By the way, when posting questions here, don't use meaningless subject lines, such as "Quick script question". If you're posting here, it's almost certain to be a question about a script. It doesn't matter whether it's quick. Use the subject line to tell people what it's about.
