Simple non repeat randomiser

i have found a couple of posts on this forum that discuss
various arrays,
i'm not a programmer as such so dont understand ****....
basically i would like to replace my existing code
loadMovieNum("1.swf",1);
with a randomiser that will load at a random
any movie between 1.swf - 10.swf
i need to define the file names because in
another instance i wish to use the same
randomiser but this time to play any movie
between 11.swf - 20.swf
PLEASE HELP !!

you just need to use the Math.random() function and multiple
it by your range of numbers and at to it the minimum, oh and of
course round or floor as the case may be.
would be something like this:
var randomMax:Number = 10;
var randomMin:Number = 1;
var randomFileNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() *
randomMax + randomMin);
trace(randomFileNum); //will display from 1 to 10;
replace the randomMin number with 11 and it will now display
between 11 and 20;
then put it all add the loadMovieNum function in
loadMovieNum(randomFileNum + ".swf", 1);

A new approach : non repeat randomiser

i have been using the following code asigned to the hit area
of my animated button as a randomiser.
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay(11);
on (release) {
var randomMax:Number = 15;
var randomMin:Number = 1;
var randomFileNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() *
randomMax + randomMin);
trace(randomFileNum); //will display from 1 to 15;
loadMovieNum(randomFileNum + ".swf", 1);
which is the routine that animates my flash button and then
loads up
a random movie....
i wish to remove the
"REPEAT" feature... in other words as the viewer repeatedly
clicks
the PLAY RANDOM MOVIE button it shuffles through all X titles
in that array prior to repeating them.
the below array / option has been presented but is not
suitable / doesn't
work amidst the complex cell enviroment already runnning
other
random arrays for other routines which do not need to be
discussed,
but trust me the below is not the solution for this
problem...
Array.prototype.shuffle = function() {
for (var ivar = this.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p = random(ivar+1);
var t = this[ivar];
this[ivar] = this[p];
this[p] = t;
// don't change anything above this line
var swf_ar:Array = new Array("carousel1.swf",
"carousel2.swf", "carousel3.swf");
swf_ar.shuffle();
index=0;
function load_random() {
carousel.loadMovie(swf_ar[index++]);
if(index==swf_ar.length){
// do something. they've all played. reset index to zero if
you want them to repeat and reuse the shuffle() method if you want
to re-randomize etc
load_random()
in fact it ***** with my entire site, and turns it into
doodoo
any other simple, efficent suggestions maybe using a
variation
on my existing code ??
thanks

I don't know what your issue is, but the prototype is totally
stable and usable under an AS2 file. How does it turn your site to
doodoo?
The prototype does nothing to any existing arrays unless you
call the shuffle() method. So if you have other arrays that you
wish to manipulate other ways then simply don't call shuffle() on
them.
The only thing it could mess up is if you are using
for…in loops, you will have a problem that suddenly every
array will have one more thing in it, namely the shuffle prototype.
I had included a line that hides the prototype from the
for…in construction.
Other than this approach there is no other easy way to do
this. You could randomly pick one from the array and then compare
if it has already been selected, and keep selecting until you get
one that hasn't been selected. But this approach will get
complicated and messy.

Lost Calendar appointments (only non-repeated evnets)

I have trouble in my Palm Z22 , Palm Desktop 4.2@Windows XP.
I recently found all the NON-REPEATED Data from yr 2003 to mid 2008 has gone whereas the repeated data during the period are intact. Besides, data before yr 2003 and after June 2008 are alright. The situation is similar to another thread http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&message.id=34943
I have backup copy of files "DateBook.bak", "DateBook.mdb" in Feb 2008, which might be created by another version of Palm Desktop. I know that under my current Palm Desktop 4.2, the working file should be "datebook.dat".
How can I extract data from "DateBook.bak", "DateBook.mdb" so that it is readable to Palm Desktop 4.2?
Thanks!

You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.

Here is another link regarding data loss;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.

Creating Non-Repeating fields

Hello all,
I am creating a query that lists a bunch of student ID's and their schedules. However, the ID's of students should only show on the first row of thier schedule. I've figured out a way to do it with the Lag function, but I was wondering if there is a better way or if this is the only way? Also, does this "method" have a name?
For example, instead of:
Student ID    Course
3823481     Math 101
3823481     English 201
3823481     History 230
5293012     Art 402
5293012     English 301
5293012     CGT 212I want this to show:
Student ID    Course
3823481     Math 101
              English 201
              History 230
5293012     Art 402
              English 301
              CGT 212This is kind of what my code looks like:
-- Non-repeating PNumber
       Case Lag (ID) over (order by ID)
         When ID Then ' '
         Else ID
        End as Student_ID,
-- List Classes
       Course_Title
From (...)
Where (...)

Hi ..
a possible solution:
with q as(
select 3823481 Student_ID ,'Math 101' Course from dual union all
select 3823481    ,'English 201' from dual union all
select 3823481     ,'History 230' from dual union all
select 5293012     ,'Art 402' from dual union all
select 5293012    ,'English 301' from dual union all
select 5293012    ,'CGT 212' from dual)
select decode(row_number() over (partition by Student_ID order by course),1,Student_ID) Student_ID,course from q

Non repeating frame - when/how to use

Hi,
How do I use a non repeating frame on it's own.
I have one query in which I have selected 3 fields.
In the paper layout, I have placed 3 fields in a non repeating frame.
When I run the report, I get a REP-1213 error - Filed 'xxx' at frequency below its group.
When I place the 3 fields ina repeating frame, it works, because the repeating frame property inspector allows me to enter the group and the non repeating frame does not.
So, my question is, when and how does one use a non repeating frame.
I need to understand the principle behind it.
Thank you
i

You mainly use regular frames to group objects together or prevent them from being overwritten. Check the help on About Frames.

LinkedList - printing non-repeated occurrences

I have to read some data from a file. Each line is in the following format: ID_number;Name;address.
Store it and then print all the occurrences that are not repeated.
If the file had the following lines:
+12345;John;California+ <-- repeated ID
+3243243;Marie;Mars+
+12345;Jane;Madrid+ <--- repeated ID
+4344444;Jill;US+
I would print:
+3243243;Marie;Mars+
+4344444;Jill;US+
Since I don't know how many lines the file has I was thinking about using a LinkedList to store the values
instead of an array but I do not know of any efficient way to remove the repeated occurrences or just print
the non-repeated.
I'm quite new to Java. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

This is how I did it. Works but I am not sure if it is the best way to do it.
import java.util.LinkedList;
public class TestFile {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          LinkedList<String> llist = new LinkedList<String>();
          llist.add("23167;sadas sd d;asdasd Dfffd");
          llist.add("12345;sdas s sd;asd sd sasd");          // repeated
          llist.add("443324;sadasd;Asdasd");
          llist.add("12345;sGadasd;Asdd sd ssad");          // repeated
          String[] v = llist.toArray(new String[0]);          // LinkedList to Array
          boolean dupFound = false;
          // sets repeated occurrences to null
          for (int i = 0; i < v.length - 1; i++) {
               dupFound = false;
               if (v[i] != null) {
                    for (int j = i + 1; j < v.length; j++) {
                         if (v[j] != null && v.split(";")[0]
                         .equals(v[j].split(";")[0])) {
                              v[j] = null;
                              dupFound = true;
                    } //inner for
                    if (dupFound) {
                         v[i] = null;
          } //outer for
          // print non-repeated occurrences
          for (int i = 0; i < v.length; i++)
               if (v[i] != null)
                    System.out.println(v[i]);
     } //end main
} //end classBeen reading about Sets through that link and the API. Still no clue of which path to
follow. I'll try googling a bit to see if I can get enlighted.
Thank you for the help.

Does ne1 now the html code to set a background image=non repeat, center for dreamweaver or where to find it?

Im trying to set up an about me page like that of myspace.com
i know that in myspace you can set the background image center non
repeat can this be done as will with dreamweaver?

Hello,
Yes, it can be done using CSS.
You can place this in your code, right before </head>.
Just substitute your image for mypicture.jpg.
<style type="text/css">

</style>
-OR-
You can also do this using DW's dialog boxes (like a wizard).
If you have DW8 or CS3...or MX2004 if memory serves, you can
right click on
your page in design view.
Select CSS Styles > New
A CSS Rule dialog box opens.
Select tag, then in the tag box, type body.
You can select whether you want to add the CSS to this page
(like the code
above) or to a stylesheet linked to this page. If you are
going to use CSS
on multiple pages, it's a good idea to use a stylesheet. Then
you can make
changes in one place that affects all the pages linked to
that stylesheet.
When you click OK, a new box will open where you can define
your CSS.
Select "background" from the sidebar, and the fill in areas
are pretty self
explanatory.
I hope that helps.
Take care,
Tim

How to properly create a non-repeat report block?

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a front page for my report. In the report data mode I have a query only return one record, so why that query in the data model showed as a group? <It has the query name - Q_1 on the top, and a group box at the bottom named G_xxxx.>
Second question is why i use the report block wizard to create the frontpage, the wizard forced me to select a group, otherwise it give warning/error message. I only want to select the client name and his address and no need to repeat <so the frame should use the non-repeatable frame right?>.
At the moment, I have two queries in the data model, first one is the "select" query which will only return one record for the report's front page, second query is a matrix (cross product) query for the main contents of my report. Both query has no link.
This is my first Oracle report so any suggestions are the most welcoming.
Thank you
Bryan

Thanks DC
Thats what I was thinking too. Is this the only way to create a non-repeatable frame; no wizard can be use for create non-repeatable report block? Why I am asking this is because I am lazy, dont want to add all the fields and labels one by one to the frame.
Secondly, in the data model, is there any way to create a query which the data model will not recognise it as a group query but a single record query?

How to genrate non-repeating random numbers

Hi everyone, i'm trying to write a for loop that genrate a
list of non-repeating random index number for an array list but i
can't seem to get the random numbers non-repeat. I'm a newbie in
Flex 2 so it would be great if anyone could show me what seems to
be the problem in this code:
Thank you very much.
Richie
for (var j:Number = 0; j < tempArray.length; j++)
var randomNum:Number =
Math.round(Math.random()*tempArray.length);
if (j - 1 >= 0)
while (randomNum == randomIndex[j-1].index)
randomNum = Math.round(Math.random()*tempArray.length);
//Push the random number in an array
randomIndex.push({index: randomNum});
Alert.show(randomNum.toString());
}

Dont' worry about it guys, i already got it thanks!

Selecting Non repeatable random records

HI all,
I have 20 records in table. I want to get a random single record from that table.And the main thing is
if i having 20 records 1st time i'm getting a random record.the upcoming execution result that does not show previous random record .
That is out of 20 records ,each time i want to select record that does not occur previously.so at 20 executions i have 20 result with non-repeatable.
If i am confusing you,sorry for this.....pls help me to get a suffled record at each time
note: i'm used NEWID() that gives random records but it occurs previously some time

I cannot reproduce this :-)
with
[10] as (select 0 as c union all select 0),
[11] as (select 0 as c from [10] as a, [10] as b),
[12] as (select 0 as c from [11] as a, [11] as b),
[13] as (select 0 as c from [12] as a, [12] as b),
nums as (select top(20) row_number() over(order by c) as n from [13]),

Excluding a column causes non-repeating values in 2nd table view

I have an analysis (11.1.1.5) that has these columns: Month, Country, State, City, Sales, Country Sales, Share of Country. Country Sales is a level-based measure that returns sales at the Country level. Country, State, and City are a hierarchy as you might expect.
When I display the initial Table view for this analysis, the Country Sales column shows a value on every row.
When I create a 2nd Table view and exclude the City column from that view, the Country Sales column now only shows a value for the first State within each Country. In other words, each value of Country Sales is shown only once, and is NOT repeated on each subsequent row for that country.
Any ideas if this is a bug, or if it was intentionally designed this way for some reason? Is there a way to force the values to repeat? (Green Bar / Repeat doesn't do it.)

Thank you for the responses, guys. Still no luck.
I moved the Country Sales column as Deepak suggested, both in the criteria and in the view. That didn't change the results. I also started fresh with a new analysis, and placed the columns in the suggested positions from the start. Still no change.
New information: I tried excluding State and leaving City in the table view. Got the same goofy results - Country Sales did not repeat.
More new information: I added a Brand Revenue measure to the Sample Sales subject area. Brand Revenue is defined as '1 - Revenue' at the Product Brand level. Created a similar view, and it worked fine.
I'll investigate what the differences might be between Sample Sales and my repository. Hard to imagine what it might be. My repository is very simple and straightforward.

How to count non repeated cells?

I have an spreadsheet with a lot of email addresses and some of them are repeated. I need to know exactly how many email addresses I have. It's the same thing as categorize but I need a formula.
I've tried with this excel formula: =SUMPRODUCT(A2:A10"";1;0)/COUNT.IF(A2:A10;A2:A10&""))
modified to Numbers in these way: =SUMPRODUCT(IF(A2:A10"";1;0)/COUNT.IF(A2:A10;A2:A10&""))
But in both cases appears that "A2:A10" it can be considered like a unique value.
Thanks.

How to put non-repeating field in a repeating frame?

I have a formula field that creates the header for a list in a repeating frame. I seem to be in a quandary though-if I include the field inside the repeating frame the header gets repeated. If I put it outside the frame I get an error 'Field references Column at a frequency below its group'. If I move the formula column to the parent query it works except in the case where the child query returns no rows-then I get the header with no data.
So, I either need a way to display the header inside the repeating frame, but only once, or I need a way to suppress the header when the child query returns no rows.

So, I either need a way to display the header inside the repeating frame, but only once, or I need a way to suppress the header when the child query returns no rows.You can try one idea. Keep the formula column in detail group and create one more summary column as serial number for the detail records so in repeating frame place that field (formula column) in repeating frame and use the PL/SQL code for that field as below...
IF :serial_no = 1 THEN
RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
RETURN FALSE;
END IF;Then it should display for the first record only.

Simple, non-bloated usage of iPhoto- no "modified" folder, etc, etc wanted

Apologies if this has all been asked and answered. Searched a little and couldn't quite find the answers I'm seeking.
I've resisted using iPhoto for years, it never seemed to do what I want. Just bought a new iMac with the newer version of iPhoto, so I want to try it.
I have a lot (tens of thousands) of canon .raw images on an external HDD, organized into folders according to time and place shot, etc. I intend to keep them that way (external, and organized as they are). I need a photo organizer that will allow me to quickly see thumbnails of all or any of the photos, organized into whatever classes or groups that I want, with the ability to add and edit tags (date, place, people, etc), and perhaps be able to do simple image tweeking, resizing and printing. Sounds like iPhoto, so I just did a test run by importing a folder of raw images, and set preferences so that it didn't import the master file. Once all of the thumbnails were generated, I selected all, and hit the "play" button, assuming that it was a slideshow, to preview the images. I thought it would quickly make some temporary jpgs for the slideshow, then delete them when I quit. So far so good, but I looked into the "Pictures" directory in my user directory, and I see that 3 new directories were created, under the library called "test" that I created. One is "Data", the second is "Modified", and the third, "Originals". "Data" contains small .jpg thumbnails of all of the photos, at 30 or 40k each. "Originals" also contains all of the file names, same structure, but listed as shortcuts to the originals, also very small at about 4k each, but then there's the "Modified" folder, with 1 to 1.5 MEG files of all of the photos.
I understand the shortcuts and thumbnails, but why the "modified" folder? Is that from the slideshow? Seems that if I decide to process and create a picture, I should have the option of creating jpgs or tifs, and storing them where I wish. What's the point of all of those 1.5Meg files, slowing things down, and taking up space on the hard drive? Don't want them, don't need them. How do I avoid them? Does Aperture make similar 1 meg+ files of all images? I really don't want to spend that money on a cataloging program, but for sure I don't want all of those files needlessly created. Any settings in iPhoto that I'm not seeing to avoid having the "Modified" folder and images created?
thanks much!

RS:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The modified files are the jpg conversions of the RAW files. RAW files are like negatives and are never touched in the editing process, even by professional applications. If you shoot RAW then there's no way to avoid having the modified, jpg version of it in iPhoto. Aperture covers the RAW to either tiff or jpg to use. RAW files cannot be edited it it's natural form. It's just the nature of the beast and game.
When you're dealing with RAW then you've committed yourself to using lots of HD space. Unless you're a professional or doing very advanced amateur work, RAW tends to be a little overkill. IMO, it's just the buzz in the photographic industry right now and intended for pros.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I frequently get "Script may be busy or have stopped...Script:file:///C:Program%Files/Mozilla%20v3.6.12/components/nsBlocklistService.js:648" - what is going on please (in simple "non-geek English"...

This error occurs mainly at startup of Firefox, but also happens during a session from time to time. Generally it is OK if I select "Continue" (I don't know what to expect i I select "stop script").
I am running an Acer laptop with XP Professional SP3.
The version of Firefox is V3.6.13, but it was happening on earlier versions.
Hope you can solve this as it is particularly irritating

The most likely cause is a problem with Java on your system - older and/or messed up Java installations seems to cause this issue sometimes.
To fix:
Step 1: Try installing latest Java version. Check your Firefox/system browser plugins from this page, and install latest version: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Mozilla Plugin Check Page] (also works for most other browsers)
If latest Java (currently "Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U20 - Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20 for Mozilla browsers") does not fix the problem, you may have more versions installed on your system causing problems for each other. This leads us to -
Step 2: Uninstall those you can from Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs. To make sure it is properly cleaned out, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/595817#threadId608043 these excellent tips from noah_sumo] to clean out Java completely, then install latest version again from the [http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Java.com download page].
If you ''still'' get this error, you may have Norton or another security program which can also in some cases cause this issue. That takes us to:
Step 3: Configure security program correctly.
For Norton 360 see [[Configuring Norton 360]].
For Norton Internet Security, see [[Configuring Norton Internet Security]].
For other firewall programs, see [[Firewalls]].
If none of these steps solves the problem, please provide any detail you can think of that may be related and let us know, and we will try to find other solutions to get this solved.
