Ultra-noob question about creating clips

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere - I don't even know where to look.
I'm working on a simple editing project. I've sucked in (I forget the proper term) an entire DV tape of material into one big file. Now I'm trying to pick out the good shots and save them as separate clips - about 50 of them. These clips will then be converted to a different format and reassembled using some special software outside of FCE to create an interactive web video.
There seem to be about a gajillion ways of doing this. Master clips, independent clips, sub-clips. Right now I'm having a problem with clip names because of the master/associate business. I want to organize individual clips into folders (Folder A -> Clips A1, A2, A3, etc). But when I try to name a clip, ALL the names change. And no amount of setting the clip as Independent seems to affect it. Not only that, but I'm so green I still can't figure out what to highlight - the clip in the timeline or the clip in the folder or both.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I don't even know what to ask.

G'Day ap0110,
Welcome aboard the FCE forum.
Here is another method:
Double click the long clip in the Browser and it opens in the Viewer.
Mark an In and Out point in the Viewer. You will have two black triangles facing one-another in the Viewer scrubber bar when completed. Notice the bit in between the triangles is lighter in color than the rest. This bit can be made into a re-namable Sub-Clip.
Go to Modify> Make Subclip. Command-U (keyboard shortcut).
The modified clip now appears in the Browser ready to be re-named. Enter new name.
Do this as many times as required.
Right click in the Browser and a pop up appears with an option to create a _New Bin_.
Drag the newly named Sub Clips into a Bin of your choice.

A question about creating packages as local objects in ABAP

Hi,
I have a question about creating packages with SE80. Whenever I create a new package it is assigned a new transport request. After that, I can create new programs inside this package, and each time I can choose whether to assign the new program to a transport request or just save it as a local object (I often do this for test programs that I don't transport and I remove them once my tests have been done).
What I would like to ask is that, is it possible to create a package (and not just programs inside a given package) as a local object? so that every new object created in this package will be considered as a local object?
Thanks in advane,
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh

Please also check the F1 help for the package field e.g. in SE80, SAP standard is in range A-S and U-X, namespaces start with "/", so you should be save. I am using the T namespace for temporary stuff since a long time and did not have a problem so far.

Thank you very much for this remark, I checked F1 help for the package field and in fact as you mentioned these ranges are for local objects.
Once again, thank you very much for your help.

2 noob questions about speaker settin

. What if I don't sync the Creative speaker settings with windows control panel speaker settings?
2. What if I the speaker settings(both Creative and windows) don't match my speaker type?For example, I have only headphone connected to my Audigy 2 ZS but I set the speaker setting to 5. or whatever else. Will this improve my sound quality in games such as Battlefield 2? Am I?supposed to get the virtual 5. surround sound effect? Because I've heard that cmss upmixes stereo sound in?games to virtual 5. or 7. surround sound for headphones.
Thanks.

Re: 2 noob questions about speaker settings?slightlys I have a slightly different set up.
I have 5. speakers that I use for movies and some games. For BF242 I use headphones because they give you an advantage as you can hear people creeping up behind. The virtual surround sound is really good with my XFi xtremeMusic.
First I don't think it matters what you select under Windows Control Panel as the Creative Console Launcher updates speaker settings in Windows. Second if you want virtual 3d with CMSS on headphones just select headphones and enable CMSS3D. Then click the 'headphone' button on the CMSS3D tab and you can test the sound - a helicopter pans around in 360 degrees.
Then in games set the software to output 5. - AFAIK. Battlefield seems to do this automatically but I can't speak for other games. I'm assuming the Audigy has the same CMSS3D tech that the XFi has.

Question about creating child domains "before" parent

Ok, this is most probably a noob question.
My company (A.com), has a DNS zone in a linux server with records pointing to different web pages, example: radio.a.com, www.a.com, webmail.a.com, etc..
For a specific service, I need an Active directory domain called: daas.A.com
Thing is, I don't have an AD domain A.com in place. So my question is:
Do I need to create an AD domain for A.com before creating the one that I need?
If I don't, and I just create the daas.A.com as a new forest, will I be able to add an A.com domain in the future as parent?
As per DNS records in the linux box, I guess I would only need a NS pointing to the DNS of the new domain, and an A record resolving that to an IP. or Something like that..
Thanks!

Yes, even if initially it is an empty root, otherwise the child domain will become the forest root.
So the A.com domain will need to duplicate those records that Linux currently hosts otherwise AD clients will start having name resolution issues. If you just need to stand up AD for one application then I would go ahead and standup the empty root, add the
child domain, install the service that needs AD and go from there. That is if you think at some point you will use the a.com domain.
Active Directory will actually create 2 zones (A.com and _msdcs.A.com)
Daas.A.com will have 1 dns zone daas.a.com and will also utilize the _msdcs.a.com
So I have been in environments which have had both a windows dns server and a Linux dns server, eventually after enough duplication of records in both areas and the pain points that caused, we have retired the Linux dns servers and just used the AD DNS servers
(with the exception of DNS servers that were internet facing which we kept on Linux) Primarily the ease of administration and the fact that AD and DNS are tightly coupled.

A question about creating READ ONLY users.

Dear all,
I have a question about read only user accounts and I would appreciate if you could kindly give me a hand. I have a schema named SCHEMA1. Whenever I want to connect by using sqlplus I run the following:
sqlplus user1/[email protected] SCHEMA1.WORLD is the entry in the tnsnames.ora referring to the schema SCHEMA1.
I need to create a read only user who is able to SELECT all tables and views created by user1 on SCHEMA1 (this user will not modifiy anything at all. The user is used only for a person using SQL queries to read data). for several tables I write the grants explicitly, for example:
CREATE USER user2 IDENTIFIED BY user2;
GRANT CREATE SESSION to user2;
GRANT SELECT ON S001_COR_ECLASS TO user2;
GRANT SELECT ON REF_ECLASS511 TO user2;Is there anyway to do the same thing but for all the tables (because there are a lot of tables and views)? Besides, even with these granted permissions when the user connects with SQL Developer to the database, he is not able to view the list of tables/views in SQL Developer GUI. What causes this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

Hello Dariyoosh,
he is not able to view the list of tables/views in SQL Developer GUIyou can either go to "Other Users" - user1 - tables. There you see every table you have permission to select.
Or you can create a synonym in schema2 for each table in schema1 and set a filter on the tables node of user2 "Include synonyms".

Super noob questions about cs6 and air project

Hi, I'm trying to pass a complicated game I developed few months ago with CS5.0 for desktop and I wanted to try, at least, how it worked in a android/ios simulator... but it's becoming something harder than I though.
1) How I know if I'm developing in flash or flex? I only see "flash" or "air"; should I try with flash builder instead? is it better for games development?
2) Why do we have the option to publish as swc if it's a mobile app? If it's IOS is supposed to created a IOS compilated file... so... swc??
3) I'm having really bad times with all the swf and swc I had before. Seems like it doesn't read the sfw in runtime, publish them as swc and add them in the as3 project's configuration doesn't work either. Any sort of known issue?
4) Can I ask you about tutorials or any sort of information? not about creating animations and launch them in the simulator, that's fine. About managing project and this sort of "more advanced" stuff. I don't find any sort of information anywhere!
thank you!!!

Sorry, I misinterpreted that part of the qustion. Yes, Colin is of course correct. Apple won't allow you to run any non-compiled code (C compiled, not AS-compiled) on IOS. So you can neither bundle a swf with the ipa nor call to a server to load a swf, if that swf contains any code whatsoever (even something as simple as a stop() action or a linkage identifier).
What you can do is embed a swf into your project, or link to your swc and use its assets in that way. This results in a single swf that gets compiled into your ipa, thus satisfying Apple's requirement.
Oh, and a little more on #1: You asked if you should use Flash Builder, and if it's better for games development. The answer is: "it depends". Most every "serious" dev I know develops in some sort of dedicated coding environment: FB, FDT (this is what I use principally), IntelliJ, FlashDevelop, emacs, etc. That said, I worked quite successfully in Flash for many years and its coding tools are adequate (arguably). If you start building large systems, though, you will probably rapidly get tired of the limited toolset and want to graduate to something with a bit more firepower.
<edit>
BTW...I'm talking about my experience, not passing judgement. Anyone who considers themselves a serious dev and yet codes in the Flash IDE, I respect your preference. If you consider yourself a serious dev and haven't *tried* working in another environment, I still respect you; but I also suggest you look at the advantages of other work environments.

Noob question about launching apps

Greetings all,
Just made the switch to a Powerbook with OS X Tiger, and have a question about launching applications; specifically how to do so without using the mouse. On my Linux boxes (one at home, one at work), I do most of my work from the keyboard, without resorting to the mouse, even in Gnome or KDE.
In Tiger, I can select applications on the desktop, but haven't been able to figure out how to launch them without "clicking"... I've Googled and searched these forums, but no luck so far. Under Linux, it's the Enter key. I assume in Tiger it's some key combination...
I know there's probably a simple answer, but I've not been able to happen upon the appropriate key combo it at random, so I thought I'd ask the experts.
Be gentle, I've only had my PB a week!

To help you in your quest to keep your hands on the keyboard you should check out apps like LaunchBar and Quick Silver. Your hands will never (well... rarely) leave the keyboard again.

Question about creating JPEG still from movie clip?

The aperture help says that a frame will be copied as part of a stack .. But I do not see this to be the case. When I make a frame from a movie, I don't see ANYTHING different in the browser window. Please help!

Yes, you can do that, but it's a little difficult to advise
you the best way with the information provided:
Can you clarify:
Do you want to play the main clip while the thumbs continue
to load... or do you want to preload the thumbs, then play the main
clip, then do the tweening when the main timeline reaches the end?
This way is easy enough.
If you want them to continue to load and then do the tweening
at the end of the main timeline (e..g with a stop() on the last
frame) then its also not complicated, but you need to cover the
situation where the loading of the thumbs may not yet have
completed by that time (perhaps the risk is low if the timeline is
long, but its a sensible thing to address regardless).
Also consider whether you want anything to be hidden (i.e.
_visible=false) at any point - e.g. before the thumbs have finished
loading.
As a starting point I suggest you would probably put the code
after
removeMovieClip("thumbLoading");
and before the last curly bracket (" } ") in a separate
function on the main timeline, e.g.
function tweenThumbs(){
//code here
(its actually not easy to be sure, because I can't visualize
what exactly it does)
what you would do next depends on the answers to the above
questions.

Questions about creating a foreign key on a large table

Hello @ll,
during a database update I lost a foreign key between two tables. The tables are called werteart and werteartarchiv_pt. Because of its size, werteartarchiv_pt is a partitioned table. The missing foreign key was a constraint on table werteartarchiv_pt referencing werteart.
Some statistics about the sizes of the mentioned tables:
werteart 22 MB
werteartarchiv_pt 223 GB
werteartarchiv_pt (Index) 243 GB
I tried to create the foreign key again, but it failed with the following error (Excuses for the german error message):
sqlplus ORA-00604: Fehler auf rekursiver SQL-Ebene 1
sqlplus ORA-01652: Temp-Segment kann nicht um 128 in Tablespace TEMPS00 erweitert
The statement I used:
alter table werteartarchiv_pt
add constraint werteartarchiv_pt_fk1
foreign key (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
references werteart (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
on delete cascade
initially deferred deferrable;
So the problem seems to be, that Oracle needs a lot of temporary tablespace to generate the foreign key and I do not know how much and why.
My questions now are, and hopefully someone is here, who can answer all or a part of it:
1) Why does Oracle need temporary tablespace to create the foreign key? The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.
2a) Is it possible to tweak the statement without using the temporary tablespace?
2b) If it is not possible to avoid the usage of the temporary tablespace, is there a formula how to calculate the needed temporary tablespace?
3) Is it possible to modify data in the tables while the foreign key is created or is the whole table locked during the process?
Any help or hint is appreciated.
Regards,
Bjoern

The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.Because it's validating the data to ensure the foreign key won't be violated. If you had specified ENABLE NOVALIDATE when creating it then the existing data in the table wouldn't need to be checked and the statement should complete instantly (future data added would be checked by the constraint).

Very Nube Question About Creating a Very Basic Application Bundle / Package

I don't know anything about XCode or AppleScript, other than that they exist, so I'm coming at this with only conceptual knowledge of how applications on OS-X work. Nonetheless, I have a goal that I feel should be really easy to accomplish, I just don't know where to begin.
What I have is an html file with an embedded flash project that also references some outside files, such as pdfs for printing. This was designed to live on the web, but in reality it will be shipped out on a CD. Right now, if you insert the cd, you see the file contents (the above mentioned HTML file, as well as two folders containing the flash files and the pdfs that are embedded in or linked out from the html file).
This isn't very elegant, and doesn't accomplish the "app" feel I'm shooting for. What I'm wondering is: is there a way to create an application package that has the html file and content folders tucked inside of it, so that when a user clicks on the application package, the html file is automatically launched? What resources might you point me to in order to learn how to do this in a relatively short amount of time? (I'm not even positive if I'm using the correct terminology to search for solutions... is it an application package or an application bundle?)
Now for the limitations:
These files were generated on a Windows machine by an eLearning tool ("Articulate Presenter") and therefore really can't be fiddled with much. I can't open any of the flash files and change the directory paths for the resource files the main presentation needs. I'm fairly confident the presentation just refers to the folder the html file is in as its root, so if the file structure could stay relatively intact once all the files move inside this "bundle," I think everything will still work.
The Articulate Presenter folks aren't particularly helpful in solving Mac compatibility issues, so I thought I'd pose my question here. If I'm not being clear, I am happy to add additional details. Thanks very much for your patience with, and willingness to offer advice to, a complete newbie.
Cheers!

It's even easier than you think.
Open AppleScript Editor.
Type in the following code:
set htmlFile to (POSIX path of (path to me)) & "Contents/Resources/index.html"
set openCommand to "open " & quoted form of htmlFile
do shell script openCommand
Then do File > Save, and use 'Application' as the file format.
Then the "Bundle Contents" button on the toolbar will be enabled. Click it to open up the drawer.
Drag your HTML content and resources into the drawer.
Do File > Save again. Ta-da, you have your web-content packaged as an application.
This assumes that the top-level has a file named index.html. If not, modify to suit.

Question about creating and updating new columns in a table

Hi, I have a couple of questions that would love some answers to
Please bear in min that questions relate to datawarehouse / Just large tables with say about 50 million records
1) How do you create new columns in a big table
2) how do you update the new columns
3) would you create an index on a column in a table with 200m rows when the only two possible values are stored in the column (e.g.Y, N) - give your resason
my aswers to these would be
1) simple alter table ...
2) simple update statements
3) No need to create an index
I might be wrong on these in the context of datawarehouse
cheers
css_jay99

If the number of Y vs. N is about 50/50, you only have to parse through 50% of the
overall amount of columns.Fnord. If the ratio of Y to N was 1:20 then the index would be useful for searching for values of Y only. Or if the column is nullable and the bulk of the entries were null then it might be useful. But a 50/50 split? FTS is much more effective.
So, it does depend on the data distribution, but in most cases such an index would never be used (or should never be used).

Question about Creating DataSources for FlatFile Data Acquisition

Hello eveyone,
I am trying to create flatfile datasources. I've been checking out the existing ds in my dev system and there are some infrastructure here that have loaded data in them, all via their won flatfile DS. I've been looking at the DS and am trying to figure out logic in which they are defined. I saw that most of the fields are defined in CHAR even if they pertain to fields like quantity, Amount and so on... They are also in the Internal format. Yet they have been successfully loaded...
My question is: what are the rules of thumb in defining the DS? How do i go about in mapping the fields to objects in the system? Can anyone please give me the step-by-step scenario as to how to do this please?
Many thanks,
Philips

Hi Philip,
Pls. try the following steps ..may be helpful.
1. when ever you want to create a flat file structure..keep in mind that, what are
    fields data available in your file. second thing is you need to know the IO of
    the info provider in which you are uploading.
2. simply create your own DS with PC File, and other hand open up your infprovider, and keep on check with your flat file what is the sequence of the data
fields and what are they corresponds to in the cube/ODS
3. As your flat file sequence, keep on identify the related IO of your provider and
copy it individual and paste it in your infosouce one by one as sequence of your
flat file..
4. No need to think of what type of data it is and how it is..
5. simply copy all your correponding IO (what ever of their type) even including
    some of the ref. IO.
6. And finally save and activate your DS creation.
I hope it would help in creating your own Flat File DS.
Need further info revert...
Cheers,
Thanks=Points.

Question about creating a delay in AS 20

Hey everyone. Let me start off by saying that although I
design in flash often, my knowledge of ActionScript is limited at
best. I am typically a graphic artist, using Adobe CS2 etc.
That said, I have been involved in the updating of a site
that uses a Sequential Thumbnail Loader. In the part of the code
that I'm trying to change, the thumbnails are loaded, and then
tweened onto the stage. I have created a graphic loader myself,
outside of the script, but it is completely disconnected from any
bytes loaded; simply put it's there for show atm.
What I'm trying to find out is, can I have the script begin
to load at the start of the timeline, then pause the script until
my movie clip finishes, then tween in the thumbnails? I know on
paper this seems pretty easy, but the block of code determining the
entrance of the images is this:
tmclL.onLoadInit = function() {
tcount +=1;
if (tcount<thumbs.length) {
loadThumb(tcount);
else {
removeMovieClip("thumbLoading");
p1w = myPanel1._width;
p2w = myPanel2._width;
pt = -(((p1w + p2w + thumbPad) - myMask1._width) - maskX *
2);
myPanel2._x = Math.round(p1w+maskX+thumbPad);
var tw10:Tween = new Tween(myPanel1, "_y", Back.easeOut,
myPanel1._y, maskX+0, 1, true);
var tw11:Tween = new Tween(myPanel2, "_y", Back.easeOut,
myPanel2._y, maskX+0, 1, true);
tw11.onMotionStopped = function() {
myPanel1.onEnterFrame = scrollUp;
myPanel1.onRollOver = myPanel2.onRollOver = panelOver;
loadImage(images[0]);
I have tried inserting my own "if" statements with little
luck, so if anyone could provide me with some insight, I would be
hugely appreciative.
Thanks!

Question about creating Stack!!

Can someone please help me....I need help on creating a stack..I don't understand the whole point of stack..I help on how to this question...please show me how to start this question..
You are to implement a class called Stack using arrays as internal storage mechanisms . Note well, you cannot use the java Stack class. You are to implement the following instance methods (interfaces are provided below)....etc

It sounds to me as if you need to understand the nature of a stack before you go about implementing it. Use http://www.google.com and search for "stack data structure java". There are a number of good references available there.

Question about creating Forms in Java.

Hello , im new to Java , i find kinda weird how Java creates Forms , its pretty simple in Oracle Forms ,
why did Java designers make it this difficult ? do people say this is something bad about Java ?
when i learned about the Layout Managers that Java provides i found out how much code one have to write just to create a simple form ,my question to the experienced java developers : what do you do to create a form , do you hard code it ? , or do you use something like GUI Builder in an IDE like NetBeans for example? and is the code generated by this builder easy to deal with and modify ?
Thanks ....

But the truth is that Oracle Forms application tie down all the components in fixed pixels. The typical Swing form can be resized and can function at different screen resolutions. So, when designing a Java form, we don't tend to work on a fixed grid but define the sizes and positions relative to other components. What's more the interface between the form elements and the data is completely flexible, and flexibility means extra effort.

Most I've tried have been a bit of a straitjacket, but I've recently been using the latest Netbeans offering and it's pretty good. I think the breakthrough was the introduction of the GroupLayout layout manager. This is a layout manager really designed for WYSIWYG form designers (pretty challenging to use hand coded).
The way these things work is that the class generated contains some methods which cannot be edited by hand, but you can add any amount of your own code without interfering with the generated code. You hook your own code snippets into the generated code, for example you can select a property of an object, say the model of a JTree, and select "user code", then type in an expression returning the TreeModel you want to use.
With listeners the designer will generate the method signature etc. but you can edit the body of the listener method.
However I would always recommend that you hand code a form or two before resorting to on of these editors because it's important you understand the code, even where a designer writes it.
