Simple Timer using the History Component

I spent ages trying to do this, but there's a simple and elegant solution, so I thought I'd better share it.
1. in cell A1 put the formula "=sum(A2+1)"
2. add a new history component, with data cell A1, insertion cell A2, and timer interval to 1 second
3. add a label to the dashboard pointing at cell A1, and you have a timer!
Here's a [swf file example|http://timoelliott.com/blog/docs/simple_clock.swf] of a simple clock example and here's [the original file|http://timoelliott.com/blog/docs/simple_clock.xlf] (Xcelsius 2008 sp3)

I have 4 places where the red and white Audio cables could go:
The red and white audio slots for "Componant."
The red and white audio slots for "DVI"
The red and white slots for "AV In" (Typical yellow white red slots.)
The red and white slots in the SCART adaptor for "RGB"
Which of these four? I have previously tried all of them to no avail.
Thanks,

  • Difference in using the same component made in mxml or action-script

    Hi,
    I made a sample project to show a kind of bug in the SuperTabNavigator component of FlexLib
    In this sample you can see that using the same component (made in both mxml or action-script) can make a difference
    I'm just wondering why ?
    Thanks
    Here is what i've posted :
    What steps will reproduce the problem?
    1. Create a button to dynamically add new tab with icon on a SuperTabNavigator
    2. Click on this button to add new tabs
    What is the expected output?
    - The expected output is tabs added without abnormal behavior
    What do you see instead?
    - Every time a new tab is created the one who had the focus has its content
    (icon + label) moving from the top-left of the tab to its original position
    Please provide any additional information below.
    Configuration:
    - Flex Builder 3 in Eclipse
    - FlexLib 2.3
    Sample:
    (see attached file)
    There is two type of tab, one in action-script and one in mxml
    They both are equal
    - Adding a new action-script tab to SuperTabNavigator works fine
    - Adding the same tab but an mxml one doesn't
    - Adding a new action-script or mxml tab to TabNavigator works fine
    -> meanings that the issue comes with SuperTabNavigator
    - Adding a new mxml tab to both SuperTabNavigator and TabNavigator at the
    same time makes TabNavigator to get the same bad behavior
    Remarks:
    - Tried everything but i'm really stuck
    - Weirdly, removing the PopUpButton correct the issue
    - In the same way if you keep adding action-script tab it automatically scroll to the
    last tab. And if you do the same with mxml tab then it add the tab at the end and
    scroll to the first one.
    => what could be the difference between using action-script or mxml object ?

    Here is one possible solution:
    You can use the ExternalInterface (
    http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html)
    class to communicate with JavaScript. JavaScript can then popup the
    media player very easily like this:
    http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/jf/column5/index.html
    The documentation on the ExternalInterface class has a nice
    example (in the bottom of the page) on how to communicate with
    JavaScript in a browser. Hope this helps,

  • Annoying 'Could not use the history eraser because the current canvas size does not match that of the history state' message

    Does anyone know if it is possible to get rid of the message 'Could not use the history eraser because the current canvas size does not match that of the history state'?. It comes up if I hit the alt/option key while I have the eraser selected. Something I do by accident all the time.

    The way you've described it, one gets the distinct impression you do not have a clue as to what the history brush does and how to use it.
    You need to read up on it.  Read the Help files and google for tutorials.
    First you need to create an image (with actual pixels in it), edit it as desired, then make a snapshot of the edited image, then target the snapshot with the history brush tool, then go back in the History panel to the step before your edits and selectively paint your edits in with the History Brush.

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

  • A question about using the history tool after using the extraction tool in photoshop cs3..

    For example:
    http://www.layersmagazine.com/photoshop-...
    When I use the history tool, it erases the image instead. Whats up with that?

    G'day Chris
    I can't tell from the link exactly which tutorial you mean!
    If the original layer is a white background and the snapshot is set to this then the history tool will paint back white even if you then paste or drag an image onto the layer above this.
    You would have to take a seperate snapshot of your image layer and set this layer as the snapshot you want the history tool to use before you start working on it.
    One neat thing you can do is if you paint back some detail with the history brush you can immediately go to Edit > Fade and fine tune how much of the effect you want to apply.
    Hope this helps.
    regards
    John

  • Dynamic Tabs using the PanelTabbed component

    I would like to use the PanelTabbed component which is bound to a managed bean to render tabs dynamically. The page will simply consist of a navigationTree on the left and the panelTabbed on the right. When the user clicks a node in the tree I would like to PPR the panelTabbed component to display the new tab. If you know of any examples or could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hello Matt,
    panelTabbed won't do for that, you're going to need navigationPane using "tabs" hint. The navigationPane should have a partialTriggers on the tree and its value should be a custom MenuModel instance that get populated from click made on the tree.
    It's not overwhelming, but I fear there's some complexity in achieving what you want.
    Regards,
    ~ Simon

  • Anyone know how to use the QuickTime Component Manager

    I have been reading that you can somehow enable the DV out in QuickTime to play video out via Firewire, but have had no luck. I guess by using the Quicktime Component Manager you can enable certain features and disable certain features. Does anyone have any idea on how to do this? Thanks everyone for the help.

    You can send a .dv file over Firewire (back to a camera for example) using iMovie.
    Maybe if your better explained your objective we could offer some suggestions.
    Many third party hardware devices can also be used to move .dv files to tape drives (like a VCR) or send the signal to broadcast devices.

  • I am trying to extend my airport extreme signal to another airport extreme can this be done? I have tried several time using the automated set up but it keeps failing... What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to extend my airport extreme signal to another airport extreme can this be done? I have tried several time using the automated set up but it keeps failing... I have selected every possible security/password encryption level... What am I doing wrong? If it os possible where can I find step by step instructions? Please & Thank you!

    The challenge with the older round AirPort Extremes are that they are "g" wireless devices.
    When you configure them for WDS, the speed on the wireless network is cut in half...and probably will not have the bandwidth required to stream video reliably from either AirPort Extreme since both are affected by the WDS setup.
    There is not an "automated" setup for WDS. You have to do this manually on both AirPort Extremes. Unfortunately, it is not an easy configuration and it's easy to make a mistake and hard to recover without starting all over again.
    Apple's instructions for WDS are here if you want to give it a try.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4262
    It is possible that it might work. Keep us posted on your progress
    Adding a single AirPort Express will unfortunately not help. You have to have "n" wireless devices at all router points.

  • How do I check internet usage history? When i use the "History" tab on the tool bar all I see is today's activity & the calendar does not change when I click on it. Thanks

    How do I check internet usage history? When i use the "History" tab on the tool bar all I see is today's activity & the calendar does not change when I click on it. Thanks

    zedzed,
    Here's another thought.
    Navigate to HD > Users > Library > Safari: Make a duplicate of History.plist.
    To duplicate the file, click once to highlight it. Press the Command + D keys.
    Drag the History,plist copy file to the Desktop.
    Highlight it. Press the Command + I keys, to get info.
    Change Open With to TextEdit.
    When you open the file in TextEdit, it will be difficult to read, but you will be able to pick out some sites.

  • Why when I use the back button I have the same web site repeated many times in the history?

    If I am on ATT home page and open another tab and later use back button to go back to ATT page there are multiple ATT addresses. Maybe 5 or 10. This page was just used as an example.

    In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
    The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
    Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
    You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

  • ? - Is there a way to validate 1 XML record at a time, using the SAX or oth

    Hello!
    Before running into space problems, i generated an XML file from a 'pipe delimited' file and and then processed that XML file thru a SAXParser 'validator' and the data was correctly validated, using the RELAXNG Schema patterns as the validation criteria!
    But as feared, the XML file was huge! (12 billion XML recs. generated from 1 billion 'pipe' recs.) and i am now trying to find a way to process 1 'pipe' record at a time, (ie) read 1 record from the 'pipe delimited' file, convert that rec. to an XML rec. and then send that 1 XML rec. thru the SAXParser 'validator', avoiding the build of a huge temporary XML file!
    After testing this approach, its looks like the SAXParser 'validator' (sp.parse) is expecting only (1) StringBufferInputStream as input,and after opening, reading and closing just (1) of the returned StringBufferInputStream objects, the validator wants to close up operations!
    Where i have the "<<<<<" you can see where i'm calling the the object.method that creates the 'pipe>XML' records 'sb.createxml' and will be returning many occurances of the StringBufferInputStream object, where (1) StringBufferInputStream object represents (1) 'pipe>XML' record!
    So what i'm wondering, is if there is a form of 'inputStream' class that can be loaded and processed at the same time! ie instead of requiring that the 'inputStream' object be loaded in it's entirety, before going to validation?
    Or if there is another XML 'validator' that can validate 1 XML record at a time, without requiring that the entire XML file be built first?

    Well,i think you can use the streaming API for xml processing provided by weblogic.It is pull model,not push model like SAX.with it,you can select the events you want without having to react to every event,and you can filter the events out.
    Sun also provide such streaming API for xml processing,and i got an very simple introduction about it on the Chinese Sun developer site.but i couldn't find any other infomation about it elsewhere! If you have such materials,please send to my email:[email protected],and if I have it,i will be sure to post the links here.hope it helps more or less:)

  • How to display the Date Time using the System Time zone

    Friends,
    Can anyone help me with below scenario..
    I have to display Date Time on a jsff page, This value associated to one of Transient View object populated from the database.. Is there any way I can handle on the screen to display the same date /time bassed on the system time zone ?
    I know one way how we can handle it.. while populating to View object we can set the time based on the system time zone.. but it would be easy and simple if there is any approach I can use on UI layer itself..
    thanks

    I don't understand why this display doesn't pay attention to the date/time format settings that are set in the language and text prefs.
    Those settings are used for date OR time, and provide for different displays depending on the space available. The menu bar does not have a fixed space available, and wants both date and time.
    In Leopard, it used the medium time format. To get the date and time, you could modify that format to include the date, but that could cause problems with software that happened to use the medium time format and expectede just the time. Also, you might want to change the medium time format without changing the menu bar display. For these reasons, Snow Leopard's menu bar clock uses its own formatting for data and time display.
