TLF possible VerticalAlign question

Hi folks,
There is a simple question here...
I have a TLF object in my project, That I want set vertical align for specific part of that!! let me describe it more:
Look at this code:
<s:RichEditableText editable="false">
     <s:textFlow>
          <s:TextFlow>
               <s:img source="adobe.png" />
               <s:span>Adobe!</s:span>
          </s:TextFlow>
     </s:textFlow>
</s:RichEditableText>
Result is something like this:
But I don't want it in this way. I want something like this:
How can I make this?!

Try using baselineShift to move the image around. 
This sort of worked for me.
<img baselineShift="-90" lineHeight="16.8" height="100" width="100" source="surprised.png"/>
The surrounding text was 14 point with leading of 120%.
TLF won't wrap around the image on the following lines.
Hope that helps,
RIchard

  • APEX possible feature questions

    I posted another question that was answered, but have 2 more. We're attempting to configure APEX so that students can access it and run SQL commands on their own tables.
    I've got how to get each student their own workspace that they can configure without touching any of the other students workspace, however, I am continuing to play around and read about APEX features and I am wondering if there is any possibility that I can disable the GUI wizard part that allows users to create tables so they can only use SQL commands (I'm starting to doubt that this is possible)
    also
    Is there a way for the administrator of the database to view the work done by each user and view their SQL work?
    Thanks in advance!
    We're running Oracle 11g R2
    Application Express 3.2.1.00.10

    You can create a single workspace and a single schema for each student. Then just revoke the CREATE TABLE priviledge from the database schema.
    Is there a way for the administrator of the database to view the work done by each user and view their SQL work?No. Although the DBA can of cause see all the stuff (tables, views, objects) that is in the database.
    Otherwise I agree with acadet. FIrst learn SQL. Then start to use fancy tools like SQL Developer and/or APEX.

  • Newish to iWeb so excuse the possibly dumb questions!

    I am not a web designer also, so technically my skills in web stuff on a mac are basic ( i used to do some basic HTML stuff on a PC). I have my .mac account that I use for my family site, which is fine. But now I have a registered domain for my photography business, so I went ahead and created another web site for that, separate from my family site. I got it all done then went to save it to a folder and it is saying, "the document iweb could not be saved." I have tried a few times but nothing. IT won't even let me publish it to my .mac site. I NEED to get this done and am at my wits end. I am wondering if it would be easier to use the Adobe Creative Suite to design the webpage!
    Also, is it easier to FTP the site to the domain server, or to have it at my .mac site, redirected from the new domain?
    Last question. Can iWeb do a photo gallery that is more sophisticated than the slideshow option? As a photographer I would like something a little more snazzy that can also be divided by genre (babies, kids, family etc).
    Thanks for any help!

    You could publish your photos to a +.Mac Web Gallery+ and make a simple hyperlink to it from your web site. Here's info about +.Mac Web Gallery:+
    If you upgrade to iWeb 2 in iLife '08 you can pseudo embed a +.Mac Web Gallery+ into your site: Here's a video tutorial briefly showing that about half-way through:
    To really embed your +.Mac Web Gallery+ into a web page, use HTML's IFRAME. Unlike frames created using FRAMESET and FRAME, IFRAME creates a frame that sits in the middle of a regular non-framed web page. IFRAME works like IMG, only instead of putting a picture on the page, it puts another web page.
    iWeb 2 in iLife '08 uses IFRAMES to easily embed widgets into web pages via iWeb's +HTML Snippet+ window. Here are instructions to embed a +.Mac Web Gallery+ into an iWeb site via iWeb 2's +HTML Snippet+ window:

  • Possible Stupid Question on Aliases

    We're on iMS/SunONE 5.2. What I've yet to figure out is how to do something so simple that I may be overlooking the obvious solution. This is to duplicate what /etc/aliases does in sendmail. I.E take an email address which does not match a particular existing user and deliver that message to the specifed recipient. There are two aspects of this which I need to address.
    1) Delivery of inbound mail if account is local. For example... [email protected] to [email protected] I think I understand this as I just need to add an alternate address for bob.jones into the ldap. Not centralized but the concept makes sese.
    2) Forwarding of inbound mail to other mail servers. For example [email protected] to [email protected].edu where our.listserv.edu is handled by a seperate mail server. In this case the /etc/aliases file sendmail uses makes this dirt simple. Unfortunately i've poured through the iMS docs and have yet to find how to do this. It may have to do with terminology as I'm not sure what iMS calls this type of proceedure. We have many of these (hundreds) and not having a centralized way of handling these would be very very difficult. What is the solution here?
    Thanks,
    -Patrick

    Not a stupid question at all, I fought with the same concept coming from sendmail. The concept is that it's simple to redirect mail using the aliases file (/etc/mail/aliases) and it only took one line to do it.
    Under iMS you need to expand your mind and accept that ldap is <insert deity> and everything is done differently.
    Alias entries need to be adapted to one of -
    individual accounts (mailalternateaddress)
    or
    a new ldap entry with it's forward settings going to your other addresses.
    or
    a mail list, for local one to many distributions.
    This applies to direct ldap and dirsync mode, however if you're running in dirsync mode, ensure you run the dirsync after making changes.
    Finally, if you create an aliases file in -
    <msg-home>/config/aliases
    and you are thorough on the addresses, they still work.
    Just my experience, search for "aliases" in the forum.

  • Help with possibly noobish question

    Hello,
    I need to make some complex graph structures such that this format will not do
    1: 2 ->4
    2: 4 ->2
    I have several additions to each node to take care of that is the main problem.
    each node has aarity which I could hold as a separate array to be accessed for each object instance of a node
    Part 1:
    The problem is that i have to know which node is connected to which arity element and then I have to search for the free elements and label their indexes with characters. I think I can solve this
    Part 2:
    The second problem is maybe a little worse as I have to translate certain groups graphs to something like this and then connect them to any graph as needed. Will i need to make a separate object for this purpose??
    | ..................| n input wires connected |
    |???????????????????????????????????|
    | Wires maped to edges from graph |
    |___________________________________|
    | ..................| n output wires wires connected |
    Part 3:
    To compound this I have to find a way to implement a menu selector to choose random graphs or parts of graphs for a Genetic Algorithm. Selection is not the problem here its is mapping the structures into a chromosone which is causing me the problem.
    Part 4:
    Each connection has the graphs triggers different application specific rules that cause the graph to reduce or change connections.
    Any help on strategies for these problems would greatly be appreciated
    kind regards
    Prashant

    Hello all and thanks for the replies positive or not. Sorry if I offended you bbritta. I guess its not such and easy question after all.
    Well its not due tomorrow and I am doing some research into a wierd topic so you guys are along the right lines. The topic I am researching is non-determinstic interaction nets. I don't know too many people doing this. Interaction Nets invented by a guy named Yves Lafont and you can google this and the topic I am researching.
    All the code written thus far exists in C and is very hard to interpret as it uses a Lex and Yacc parser to implement the creation of tokens and syntax rules of the Interaction Nets programming language.
    Basically its a high level visual graph programming language however it can also be used on low level based on interpretation. Thus the need for graph data structures. Essentially I have to modify this programming language for non-determinism and demonstrate this in a Genetic Algorithm. The latter would be no problem if I could get the data structure sorted. People familiar with Lamda calculus, Linear Logic and Process Calculus might have seen this in some research papers.
    However I have not had a very good theoretical background so finding the data structures to map the complexity of the graphs is a little problematic. I will outline my idea and what I have done a little clearer below.
    So far I have broken the prob into smaller steps as suggested by someone, I hope the pseudo code helps a little more.
    class Symbol
    convertASCIItoINt( char value) : return int
    getChar() : return char
    checkAvailability() : return boolean;
    //each Symbol is assigned to a free port and is traditionally input.
    //several instances of this obj are used to
    class Port  implements Symbol
      initialisePort( num);
      checkFreePorts( ) : return boolean;
      setPortSymbol (port [num])
      private ports [ num ];
      setEndPortAsSpecial( ports [ num ]) // each node has a special port called principal port
    // each node has a set of port and each port can have a label as a string
    class Node
    setNodeSymbol()
    getnodeSymbol()
    public Port node_obj [ port_num ];
    setSpecialSymbol( string)
      //destructor to delete node connected to
      //duplicator to create a copy of cell value
      //constructor create a copy of the cell
    getSpecialSymbol() : return string symbol;
    checkSpecialSymbol(node_obj [ port_num ]): return string symbol;
    //so far as a typical graph goes i think its acceptable to connect the nodes in an vector with
    //a list at each element although this is not shown below.
    class Net
      connecNodes( node_obj [ port_num], node_obj [ port_num] )
      checkDeadlock(): return boolean; //check for cycles
      public Node net_obj [ node_num ];
      checkConnected( node_obj [ port_num], node_obj [ port_num] ): return boolean;
    //this is where the execution engine will be placed
    class InteractionRules
    ruleTrigger( )
      Node n = new n
      n.checkSpecialSymbol()
      // its here where things get complicated with the data structure as according to the rules I have to delete
      // add or copy a value of a particular node in a Net
      determineReduction()
        //if (ports [ num ] = num )
        // a reduction occurs according to the rule in the method above ruleTrigger();
       //at this point the relevant nodes will be removed and new nodes will be added according to the rules
    storeCopyofOriginalNet()
       //needed to rollback if rules are infeasable or deadlock occurs.
    }I desperately still need help to complete the data structure I have also considered manipulating the complex associations between the sets as multimaps and maps
    Sorry if I am not clear I am trying my best to explain something I have had little background and almost no help in as I am creating the special rules as I go along such as keeping an copy of a net / graph before modifying it in the Genetic Algorithm.
    Kind Regards and Best Wishes

  • Installing iTunes (possible dumb question?)

    Now I am no computer expert so for the savvy out there I trust you not to laugh at this question!
    When you download a file such as iTunes and save it prior to install I understand it is visible as e.g. iTunes.exe. Opening the .exe file will cause a programme to be installed. Understand that.
    Now, are you safe to delete the original .exe file you downloaded? This won't mess up your newly installed programme? Presume what goes for iTunes.exe in this regard goes for any .exe file? I would simply like to be in a position to delete any unnecessary files from my PC.
    Comments anyone?
    Local retailer custom built pc. Pentium 4 chip 2.4GHz   Windows XP   SP2 20Gb iPod

    I always keep the last version of iTunesSetup.exe that I like. So I can go back to it, if there is a crummy update, which some of them have been....
    hi y'all!
    i've been religiously keeping a copy of every installer file i've ever downloaded from itunes (and ipod software upaters too) since my 5.0.1.4 install.
    the most recent version of it lives on my desktop (for reference purposes, if i can ever find it in that cyberpigsty). when a new itunes version comes out, i go through my ritual of creating a folder for my previous version of iTunesSetup.exe, and tucking it into bed to leave room for the brand spanking new iTunesSetup.exe on my desktop.
    (i'm inclined to believe my behavior is a bit perverse in this regard, though.)

  • Possible Noob Question: Correcting Colors From Cheap Digital Camera

    I'm somewhat embarrassed to ask this here, but ya gotta start some place.
    I'm a web dev so forgive my ignorance. I work with photos a lot, but they've always come to me from people who know what they're doing. I don't really understand digital -photography- that well---which is quite different I realise than film.
    Anyhoo, I'm trying to get better colors from a  pocket digital camera (Canon Elf 310) which (supposedly) has 12MP. The pictures I want to take for the job I have in mind involve clouds and landscapes and I gotta take a pocket came because we're camping/fishing.
    Anyway, they -could- be very cool but the tests I've done show that the colors are going to be just -wrong-. And by 'wrong' I mean everything either seems -under- saturated or hyper-statured. For example... the subtle pinks in clouds are rendered as washed out or will be overly contrasty (hyper) yellow to orange.
    The detail is quite sharp, however so does that mean there's something 'there' there which can be properly corrected? And if so, how?
    If it's too wordy, perhaps maybe someone can just recommend a good text on the subject?
    TIA,
    ---JC

    I completely agree with Mylenium.
    Beyond working with the various Tools in PS, for "Color Correction," I would start with a properly calibrated monitor, so that you know that what you are "correcting," is the Image, and not the monitor.
    Next, familiarization with those Tools, such as Hue/Saturation, will be very useful. The Help file can get you started, by defining what each Tool can do, and a short-course on how it does it.
    I would always work with non-destructive techniques, so that one can always go back and re-edit things. For that Hue/Saturation, mentioned above, I would use a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. Same for Color Balance, and the rest.
    Last, you eye should be your guide, on that calibrated monitor. Adjust, until you get what YOU like (or what your client likes). Remember that by default, most of those "corrections" will be "global" for the Image, BUT with Layer Masks, you can restrict/constrain the corrections to just certain areas of that Image. At that point, knowing about the various Masking techniques will be very helpful. Besides the Help file, there are many useful tutorials on various Masking techniques, and many will apply to Layer Masks.
    Also be aware that different camera sensors might bias differently, and also with lower-resolution Images, you will likely not have a great deal of Dynamic Range to work with. Start with the best possible, from your camera. If possible, shoot in Camera RAW, and use the "processing" power of ACR (Adobe Camera RAW), to get started. You should be able to create a Preset for your camera (maybe shoot a McBeth Color Checker card, and calibrate that), to get that processing started.
    Good luck,

  • A possibly dumb question re exporting clip for web use

    Hi,
    I've been experimenting with diff resolutions etc for exporting a clip intended to be added to a web page. Diff levels of mpeg compression, etc.
    I'm most impressed with the quality of H264, the video codec for the video ipod. I play it in a quicktime player just fine & it looks great. Its a choice in FCP HD 4.5
    The question is, can I make a little clip in H264 & put it on the web? Will web browsers with plug-ins set up to play quicktime files be able to play it? are there any compatibility issues? Windows browsers? etc?
    Thanks
    Duane

    Yes, they are playable on the web. They were able to do that before the video iPod came along, so that was their original intent.
    For others to see it they need to have QT7, and unfortunately many PCs cannot see videos in this format.

  • Possibly easy question.

    I created my applet through Visual Cafe.
    I have a database on a different server from the html & class files.
    When I try to open the applet through the web, I get an error in my console as follows:

    No example provided
    F is the drive letter that maps a folder from another server. Shopload is the database &
    JDE_WkCtrs is my table.
    The problem is the applet GUI pops up fine, but
    it would say
    Error: F_Shopload___JDE_WkCtrs_Record

    maybe its because in an applet you cann only access the server from which the applet downloaded. Thats a question of security.

  • Possible Complicated Question

    Hello. I asked this question in the FCP forum, and was directed here. Hopefully I can get some help.
    Hello. Is there a way in FCP (or, rather, Motion here) to have a certain point in your video be "anchored" and "followed" by another "point", so to speak? I'll try to explain: Can I take, say, a certain specific area in my frame A, mark it, and then take ANOTHER specific area of another frame B, and have B follow A's movements across time? The reason I ask is because I'm doing a rather complicated matte and I need my matte to move over a pretty specific area WHILE the area to be matted is moving rather dynamically. I've tried individually moving each point in the 8-point garbage matte that I'm using - which 1) was an ABSOLUTE nightmare (not something I recommend for ANYONE with a level head upon their shoulders), and 2) it, ultimately, didn't work, because the movements didn't SUPER coincide, and you were able to tell that there WAS a matte there in the first place (which defeated the purpose of having it). So I'm trying to see if I can get FCP (Motion) to do the work for me this time . . .
    Anyone understand what I just wrote?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!
    Javier Calderon

    There are some plug-ins for FCP, I believe Boris (Red? Blue? Green? Some primary color) has tracking. After Effects also. But you might pay more for those as Shake. iStabilize is another option, but I don't know it will track a matte for you...
    There is a very complicated way of using a stabilizer to track a matte. If you have to go that route, lemme know and I'll try to explain it.
    Also, the masking tools in Motion are Far superior to the 8 point garbage matte. So if you have to do hand tracking, you might try them.
    Good luck,
    Patrick

  • Generating all possible combinations question

    i'm trying to generate all possible combinations for several single column tables each with one string column.
    so - if table 1 has values (aa, ab, ac)
    table 2 has values (zz, zx)
    table 3 has values (qw, qe)
    the result set would contain all possible combinations:
    aa, ab, ac, zz, zx, qw, qe, aazz, aazx, aaqw, aaqe, aazzqw, aazzqe, aazxqw, aazxqe...etc.
    I've tried cross joins - but that does not get the smaller combinations.
    I've looked at some code examples but they seem to be focused on single letter or number combinations.
    I need to do this using tsql.
    code examples or links to such would be of much help.
    Thanks.

    Something like this might work:
    with t1 as (
    select val from table1
    union all
    select ''
    ), t2 as (
    select val from table2
    union all

  • TLF and CMS question.

    Greetings,
    I have a Flex app (browser based) that will be displaying formatted text in certain sections. Formatting will include (font color, font weight, lists, paragraph padding, italics). I would like the client to be able to update the content in these sections themselves as it will frequently change and may be in several languages.
    Am I right in understanding that TLF is the best way to go about this?
    If I use TLF to handle the formatting, what are the options for allowing the client to edit or generate the content? Do I need to build and provide them a subset of the functionality at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/ ? Or is there something easier available?
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Am I right in understanding that TLF is the best way to go about this?
    lists and paragraph padding you mentioned are the features only TLF can provide, rather than the classic text (textfield text). TLF is an AS3 text layout framework with support for high-quality, typographically  rich, flowable text in Flash.
    PS:
    Direction and BlockProgression are the formats you should set manully when you layout the languages that should be vertical or right-to-left, such as Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic.

    Can you access the source code of the demo you mentioned?  The complexity of the demo is mainly about UI things, while the codes for TLF in the demo are pretty simple.
    What you need is a s:RichEditableText and some buttons. Then when you press a button, you get the textflow in the RichEditableText and set its formats and re-compose.

  • Two possibly unrelated questions - Hard Drive and something else.

    Sorry I only have symptoms not specifics at this point. I have an intel core duo mac mini, running 10.5.6, with 4 gigs of ram. I have a couple of issues that may be unrelated: A possible Hard drive issue and another strange issue. I don't know if there are related but since I may have to go through the hassle of cracking open my mini I thought I would ask.
    First issue when I stream video over the internet sometimes and only sometimes my machine will suddenly restart, no shutdown, no prompts, just instantaneously restart, other times it will stream hours of video without issue. This issue has plagued me since 10.4 and all subsequent upgrades.
    Second issue is what I believe is a hard drive failure, but I'm not sure and I don't want to buy/replace it if that's not the issue. I updated to 10.5.6 a few months ago and was running with no issues although lately it has been getting slower. Last week my parents came over to watch "24" online so after working on my computer all morning I restarted my machine thinking it would stream better, upon restart it would get to the large apple with the spinning graphic and hang up, then about after a minute in it would simply power off. Confused I restarted with the same results. I tried this probably 10 times with the same result. Checked all the cables, etc. nothing. so next I booted into the Leopard Installer and ran disk utility. At first the hard drive didn't show up in the left column so I quit disk utility and launched startup disk, again no hard drive, then I re-launched disk utility - now it showed up. I ran repair disk since repair permissions was greyyed out. It came back with errors saying disk couldn't be repaired. Sorry the only error message I recall is a damaged catalog B-tree. So I restarted and for the first time in 10 hours my machine actually restarted and everything came back. From here I backed up everything important. Since then it has restarted 3 times will no issues, other than running a little slower than usual. So last night I ran Disk Warrior and receive the error message. " Could not rebuild due to a disk malfunction. A disk malfunction is a failure of or damage to any mechanical component of the disk device or any component connected to it. Since I had disk warrior in there I checked the hardware test option where it checks the S.M.A.R.T. something or another, sorry for the choice of words I've never done that, and it returned saying the drive was fine. So here I am a bit confused if it's the hard drive or another issue any ideas.

    Hi daredman01-
    Could the unit simply be overheating? Have you vacuumed out the air vent that rns along the bottom edge of the mini?
    Good job getting things backed up. How full is the hard drive?

  • Possibly stupid question re: nvidia driver install

    Hi there. I was wondering... Is it possible to install the nvidia driver without compiling the kernel? I don't want to repartition my drive to give Arch the space it would need to do that, and even if I had the space I'd rather not have to waste time compiling.
    As a side curiousity, if I do indeed need to rebuild the kernel, can anyone explain why I need to? It seems to me that if whoever compiled it in the first place included the sources they used, and if they made a copy available, it would avoid a lot of hassle. Am I wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    No - 3.) ln -s linux-2.6.4 linux (this step is debateable whither is necassary or not)
    OK - 4.) run the NVidia installer (say yes compile me one when it says it can't find any on nvidia's site)
    OK - 5.) update XF86Config-4
    OK - 6.) add nvidia to the modules like of rc.conf
    Just wanted to debate. If you fetched the kernel source, you should have a look inside its readme. There is a strong warning not to link your source to linux. Instead, give your nvidia installer the option where to find the source.
    nvinstaller --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-2.6.4/
    Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. Will not do that any more
