Urgent help with If statement please!

HI Everyone
Was wondering if anyone can tell me why flash seems to be
ignoring my If Statements, every time I try to use one it ignores
the condition and just actions the command. Its driving me crazy.
I'm sure I must be doing something wrong I just can't work it out.
I've put;
on (release) {
if ((_root.eyeshadow = "Pink") && (_root.lipy =
"Pink")) {
_root.correct._alpha =100;
It seems to just action the _root.correct._alpha = 100;
even when a different colour is selected.
I was wondering can flash read a variable from another
script, because if not it will not know what eyeshadow and lipy
are. I dont get any error messages though.
Please help somebody!
Thank you,
Stacy.x.

Thank you that appears to have made the if statement work,
but now i have another problem.
It doesn't seem to acknowledge wether these selections have
been selected.
I have put in the code for the pink eyeshadow;
on (release) {
_root.eyeshadow2._alpha =0;
_root.eyeshadow1._alpha = 100;
eyeshadow == "Pink";
the same code is in all the other selections, with the name
variations.
any ideas?
.x.

Help with If statement please

Hi,
First Special thanks to Kglad for the help with the AS1 to AS3 conversion.
I've been able to link up my buttons to play a different frames of the movie. this was my novice way of finally getting the programming to work.
In frame 95 I have
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("page1.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
in frame 165:
var myLoader1:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader1); var url1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("page1.swf");
myLoader1.load(url1);
My buttons link to 116 which plays a frame and loads ^
in frame 226: removeChild(myLoader).
But if the user has looped back into home from another part in the movie clip then it would need to remove myLoader1 instead of myLoader.
I'm guessing there is some really dynamic way to solve the programatic nightmare i'm developing, but I'm really novice.
So what i need is an if statement for frame 226
That would do something:
if(myLoader <> null
removeChild(myLoader)
else(
removechild(myLoader1)
Anyone have a method for this?

yes, you can use the same urlrequest but just change its url property:
// initialize, for example in frame 1. this is done once and never again:
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
var urlR:URLRequest=new URLRequest();
// then in frame 2, for example:
urlR.url="page1.swf";
loader.load(urlR);
// in frame 20, for example:
urlR.url="page2.swf";
loader.load(urlR);
// in frame 30, for example:
urlR.url="page3.swf";
loader.load(urlR);
//etc. if you're loading any swfs that play streams (sound or video), you'll want to add some code to this.

a) Table TASTING has 2 columns.... TDATE( date Tasting was Held) and PLACE ( locations at which Tasting was held)
b) Table TASTEWINE has 3 Columns.............. TWDATE( wine tasting date, BIN( ID number for type of wine that was tasted), AND QUANTITY( quantity of win consumed by bottles)
Here is the QUestion.... I am having a hard time figuring out how to connect those two tables based on this information .. What I want to do is this.....select the total number of bottles of wine served at each wine-tasting, but only for the second half of the year 1999, and I want to see not only the date and total bottles served, but also the location where the wine-tasting took place. I also want to display the date, the place, and total quantity.

Need help with If statement Please

Hi guys,
This is my first time posting and sorry if for some reason i post incorrectly.
I am having trouble figuring out what I am doing with my if Statement and why the compiler is giving me an error which says 'cannot find symbol';
Just incase you need to see the code here it is. And please any pointers would help me get back on track. And please dont laugh at the novice code i just started^^;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class Student
     public static void main(String[]args)
     Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);
     double std1, std2, std3, num1, num2, num3, num4;
     String a, answer1, name1;
System.out.println("Welcome to _____ program, press any button to continue: ")
a=scan.nextLine();
System.out.println("Good, would you like to enter a grade for a student(y/n)?");
answer1=scan.nextLine();
if (answer1 == y)
     System.out.println("Please enter the students name ");
                         name1=scan.nextLine();
                         System.out.println("Please label the test number ");
                         num1=scan.nextDouble();
                         System.out.println("Please enter the grade, "+name1+" recieved");
std1=scan.nextDouble();
if (answer1==n)
     System.out.println("Thank you for trying my program ");
else
System.out.println("It's obvious you couldn't follow a simple direction good bye ");

Thanks Flounder,
I'll keep in mind to edit the code the way you told me too.
As far as the code goes, what do you mean 'y' is not a string and should be a variable. All I'm trying to do is give a true false statement.
For example
if (input==y)
System.out.println("________");
And in my code it gives an error stating that y is a variable.
I dont understand why.
Thanks much for all your replies.

Help with access control please

So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

Need some URGENT help with 3 DVD mastering issues PLEASE! :

Hi there,
Firstly, I am running DVD SP 3.0.2 on Mac OS 10.4.7 on a G5 Dual 2 GHz 3Gb Ram plenty of HD space...
I am creating a DVD with: An intro sequence, a main menu, 4 sub menus, and 4 sections with around 12 chapters each.
I am having some big problems, and a pretty stuck. I will lest them separately below, numbered. If you are able to help, please refer clearly to which number you are helping with. Any help is MUCH appreciated! Many thanks!!
1. Each of the 5 menus (1 main, 4 sub) have a background video, and a separate audio track. I added the background videos by simply dragging them to the assests panel, then from there onto the menu editor window. They are created in FCP and are properly encoded. However, when I click the motion button, or use the simulator, the videos do not show up. The music plays, but all i see is plain black.
What is going on?!?!?!
2. I am really struggling with rollover buttons. I have custom created buttons, and I wand them to have a soft red glow around them when hovered over. HOW ON EARTH DO I ACTUALLY DO THIS??
The buttons are in photoshop so can be exported with/without background/glow in any format.
3. Is it possible, once I have got the above rollover working, to have an image to the right hand side of my buttons which changes with the the button rollover. i.e. hover over button 1, see image 1. hover over button 2, image changes to image 2.
PLEASE PLEASE give any help you can, I have a deadline coming up and am quite stumped. Thanks again!!

I am still having problems regarding issue Number 1. PLEASE ANYONE HELP?!
Sorry, I'm not sure about the motion menus. I avoid those whenever possible. But you might click on the menu in the storyline tab (whatever it's called -- the hierarchical view with the disc, tracks, slideshows, etc.) and look at the properties and see if there's anything you have to enable specifically for motion. And be sure the motion button is on on the main display/preview area, but it sounds like you already know how that works.
For your information, here is a screen grab of the menu I am trying to create:
http://www.redhavoc.co.uk/stuff/menu.jpg
I think it is obvious that when a button is hovered over, I want it to glow red, and the image to the right will change to match the respective button.
IS THIS GOING TO BE POSSIBLE????
Yes.
First, your menus have to be layered menus. Unfortunately, there's no way to convert non-layered menus to layered menus, so if you already have non-layered, you'll have to just delete them and create new layered menus. The button (and menu item) to create a layered menu should be right by the normal new-menu item.
Next, the graphical work is all in Photoshop.
Side tip: You may already know this, but I found it's best to use 640x480 for the Photoshop document. When I do text and leave it as a text object in the Photoshop file, it resizes poorly in DVDSP. So this ends up being another 720x480 vs. 640x480 square/rectangular pixel conversion thing. DVDSP plays in the 640x480 world, at least as far as the designer can see. So I keep my images at 640x480, and it doesn't have to resize, and everything looks right.
Moving on... Set up your basic background, the part that won't change (or will have other things covering it, like for your square image).
Then put in all the buttons and images you'll be using, each part in a separate layer. This could have fifteen buttons (you have five buttons, and there can be three versions for each -- inactive, selected, and activated versions) and five or six square images (you said one for each button, and you might want a blank default if, say, you want to add a "back" button on the menu and want some blank or default image for the square when they're on the "back" button).
Sometimes people don't bother with a separate "active" button state, but you usually want some visual feedback that they clicked the button. Also, I usually just build the default (unselected) button into the background; that's less hassle later on, and it will just draw the selected or activated buttons over that when the user is on that button.
Line up all your buttons and images. All the square images lined up perfectly on top of each other, all the buttons in the right places (so you'll have three buttons stacked on top of each other in each spot). Give each layer a short but quickly recognizable name, and line them up in a consistent order. (button1-default, button1-selected, button1-active, button1-squarepicture, then button2-default, ... etc.) Photoshop and DVDSP don't care, but it makes it easier for you later.
Note that earlier versions of DVDSP won't show Photoshop layer effects. (They handle layers, just not the effects, like inner glow, outer bezel, etc.) I don't remember when they changed this, but I think it was version 4.something. So if you're using that method to make your buttons glow, you may have to flatten each selected or active button layer, and you may even need to create a dummy blank layer underneath it first to give it something to flatten onto.
Save the file as a standard Photoshop file (.psd). Drag the file onto your DVDSP layered menu and set it as the background.
Now, in DVDSP, create all your buttons. Just drag boxes over/around the button pictures you have. Feel free to make them extra-big; users won't see the actual area you've selected, and bigger areas makes it easier for people to hit them if they're using a mouse on a computer to watch the DVD. You can point the buttons to their targets now if you want, and set the end jumps on the tracks if you want. (I tend to set the end jumps on the tracks so they automatically select the button for the next track.)
Now's the fun part, since it will actually hook everything up and should be easy if your naming layer order were consistent. Click on the layered menu (in that hierarchical view) and look at the properties window. (Sorry I can't remember the technical names for all these windows; I'm doing this all from memory. So feel free to ask more questions if you can't find what I'm talking about.) One of the properties tabs should have a grid of checkboxes with a list of your layers. Make sure the background is checked for all of the states. Then check the layers you want to show for each button state, as well as the corresponding square image to show for each.
Again, I'm doing this from memory, and I can't remember exactly how things are listed in that grid. But I remember it keeps your layers in the same order you put them in the Photoshop file and shows you those names, so it should make it easy to go down the list and check the right boxes.
And another side tip: You can update the Photoshop file, but once you've put it in DVDSP, if you change the layer order, it will screw up the check boxes you checked. It always shows you the layer names correctly, but it keeps the checkboxes in DVDSP simply assigned to the layer number, so the fifth layer will keep the same checkboxes even if you juggle them so some other layer is now the fifth layer. So if you do juggle the layers in Photoshop, go back and fix the checkbox list in DVDSP.
I put a sample Photoshop file based on yours in
http://dan.black.org/layered-menu-sample.psd
It's quick and dirty, but shows the layer layout, and you should be able to drop it on DVDSP to play with. (I also won't leave it there forever, maybe a few weeks, so anybody reading this in a month or more probably will get a 404 for that url.)
Again, doing this from memory, so feel free to ask if anything doesn't work or doesn't make sense.

Hello Suresh,
I have one more question for you. Let me tell you my scenario. I have the client giving me a rough forecast for the future. I have to do stat forecast based on the history and check that against the initial forecast given by them. But, the problem I realised now is that when I go to my planning books I can see the values for 2008 in mothly buckets since I have 0calmonth. But the client gave me another file with forecast for 2008 in monthly buckets and for 2009 and 2010 in quarter buckets. So, i have a planning buck profile defined to meet that but, how do I upload the file with both 0calmonth and 0calquarter in a single file. Please let me know!! Urgent task.
Thanks again,
Chinna.

Urgent help with Pages 5.0 needed

Hi guys,
I need urgent help! I deleted Pages 5.0 (as I HATED it) but now can't open a very important document. Can someone please tell me how to reinstall it??
Thanks
Kellie

Downloading again is not as easy as that. you must find the app in the "Purchased" section of the
app store and I think you then must hold down the option key to reinstall it.
BTW, I only worked with one document as a trial for Pages 5 and then imported it to Word and saved it. I then deleted Pages 5 (I can't believe anyone who works with software would think that piece of worthless junk would sufice for anyone who uses a word processor professionally), reopened the Word document and saved it in Pages 09.
I hope this helps

Hi HJK,
I am referring to the last reply of yours.
" Hi, there are three approaches I can think of offhand:
1) make sure the user-context under which you run the java app has the right to access the remote drive.
2) Do the network connection in a batch or c program and call that at the start of your java app with Runtime#exec.
3) Write some c/c++ code to open the connection and integrate that via JNI.
Let me know what (other) solution you came up with in the end!
Regarding the 1st.
I am supposed to write a remote installation utility actually. There are around 200 PC(s) in a network on which I need to copy these java class files. My problem statement is such that at runtime I only have username, passwords, domain access. I am not supposed to map any drives. Its supposed to be done dynamically. No manual intervention required. :(
How do I do the network connection in a batch mode ? Let me know that?
If 2nd option can be done, probably I can think of action-3 at the moment I am quite blurr :(

Help with Switch statements using Enums?

Hello, i need help with writing switch statements involving enums. Researched a lot but still cant find desired answer so going to ask here. Ok i'll cut story short.
Im writing a calculator program. The main problem is writing code for controlling the engine of calculator which sequences of sum actions.
I have enum class on itself. Atm i think thats ok. I have another class - the engine which does the work.
I planned to have a switch statement which takes in parameter of a string n. This string n is received from the user interface when users press a button say; "1 + 2 = " which each time n should be "1", "+", "2" and "=" respectively.
My algorithm would be as follows checking if its a operator(+) a case carry out adding etc.. each case producing its own task. ( I know i can do it with many simple if..else but that is bad programming technique hence im not going down that route) So here the problem arises - i cant get the switch to successfully complete its task... How about look at my code to understand it better.
I have posted below all the relevant code i got so far, not including the swing codes because they are not needed here...
ValidOperators v;
public Calculator_Engine(ValidOperators v){
          stack = new Stack(20);
          //The creation of the stack...
          this.v = v;
public void main_Engine(String n){
     ValidOperators v = ValidOperators.numbers;
                *vo = vo.valueOf(n);*
     switch(v){
     case Add: add(); break;
     case Sub: sub(); break;
     case Mul: Mul(); break;
     case Div: Div(); break;
     case Eq:sum = stack.sPop(); System.out.println("Sum= " + sum);
     default: double number = Integer.parseInt(n);
                   numberPressed(number);
                   break;
                  //default meaning its number so pass it to a method to do a job
public enum ValidOperators {
     Add("+"), Sub("-"), Mul("X"), Div("/"),
     Eq("="), Numbers("?"); }
     Notes*
It gives out error: "No enum const class ValidOperators.+" when i press button +.
It has nothing to do with listeners as it highlighted the error is coming from the line:switch(v){
I think i know where the problem is.. the line "vo = vo.valueOf(n);"
This line gets the string and store the enum as that value instead of Add, Sub etc... So how would i solve the problem?
But.. I dont know how to fix it. ANy help would be good
Need more info please ask!
Thanks in advance.

demo:
import java.util.*;
public class EnumExample {
    enum E {
        STAR("*"), HASH("#");
        private String symbol;
        private static Map<String, E> map = new HashMap<String, E>();
        static {
            put(STAR);
            put(HASH);
        public String getSymbol() {
            return symbol;
        private E(String symbol) {
            this.symbol = symbol;
        private static void put(E e) {
            map.put(e.getSymbol(), e);
        public static E parse(String symbol) {
            return map.get(symbol);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(E.valueOf("STAR")); //succeeds
        System.out.println(E.parse("*")); //succeeds
        System.out.println(E.parse("STAR")); //fails: null
        System.out.println(E.valueOf("*")); //fails: IllegalArgumentException

Help with if statement in cursor and for loop to get output

I have the following cursor and and want to use if else statement to get the output. The cursor is working fine. What i need help with is how to use and if else statement to only get the folderrsn that have not been updated in the last 30 days. If you look at the talbe below my select statement is showing folderrs 291631 was updated only 4 days ago and folderrsn 322160 was also updated 4 days ago.
I do not want these two to appear in my result set. So i need to use if else so that my result only shows all folderrsn that havenot been updated in the last 30 days.
Here is my cursor:
/*Cursor for Email procedure. It is working Shows userid and the string
You need to update these folders*/
DECLARE
a_user varchar2(200) := null;
v_assigneduser varchar2(20);
v_folderrsn varchar2(200);
v_emailaddress varchar2(60);
v_subject varchar2(200);
Cursor c IS
SELECT assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, trunc(f.indate) AS "IN DATE",
MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "LAST UPDATE",
trunc(sysdate) - MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "DAYS PAST"
--MAX (TRUNC (fpa.attemptdate)) - TRUNC (f.indate) AS "NUMBER OF DAYS"
FROM folder f, folderprocess fp, validuser vu, folderprocessattempt fpa
WHERE f.foldertype = 'HJ'
AND f.statuscode NOT IN (20, 40)
AND f.folderrsn = fp.folderrsn
AND fp.processrsn = fpa.processrsn
AND vu.userid = fp.assigneduser
AND vu.statuscode = 1
GROUP BY assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, f.indate
ORDER BY fp.assigneduser;
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN c LOOP
IF (c1.assigneduser = v_assigneduser) THEN
dbms_output.put_line(' ' || c1.folderrsn);
else
dbms_output.put(c1.assigneduser ||': ' || 'Overdue Folders:You need to update these folders: Folderrsn: '||c1.folderrsn);
END IF;
a_user := c1.assigneduser;
v_assigneduser := c1.assigneduser;
v_folderrsn := c1.folderrsn;
v_emailaddress := c1.emailaddress;
v_subject := 'Subject: Project for';
END LOOP;
END;
The reason I have included the folowing table is that I want you to see the output from the select statement. that way you can help me do the if statement in the above cursor so that the result will look like this:
emailaddress
Subject: 'Project for ' || V_email || 'not updated in the last 30 days'
v_folderrsn
v_folderrsn
etc
[email protected]......
Subject: 'Project for: ' Jim...'not updated in the last 30 days'

292709

190132

190159
190237
284109
286647
294631

183881
183882
183883
183884
183886
183887
183888
This table is to shwo you the select statement output. I want to eliminnate the two days that that are less than 30 days since the last update in the last column.

I would like output to either a JLabel or JTextArea to appear if a file appears on the network. Something along these lines
If file named nststrace*.* is in \\[network path] then output Download successful, please proceed.
btw I have done my best to search this forum for something similar and had no luck, but I am looking forward to Encephalopathics answer as he/she has consistently made me laugh with posted responses (in a good way).
Thanks in advance, Paul.

we're starting to get aquainted, but I think "best friend" could take a while as it is still as hard going as I recall, but I will persevere.Heh, it's not so bad! For example, if I had no idea how to test whether a file exists, I would just scan the big list of classes on the left for names that sound like they might include File operations. Hey look, File! Then I'd look at all of File's methods for something that tests whether it exists or not. Hey, exists! Then if I still couldn't figure out how to use it, I'd do a google search on that particular method.

THanks a lot

As I explained in an earlier post, you WILL NOT be able to do it yourself.
If the hardware is just disabled (the error message may be misleading), a Nokia service point may be able to reactivate it, though you'd have to pay because the phone only has warranty in Syria and because this wouldn't be a warranty fix anyway.
If the hardware is removed, then you are more than likely stuck.

Urgent help with If statement please!
