Use variables inside MovieClip names to call them in ASP 3.

This line of code works fine for me:
this.helpB1Btns.helpB1B3.alpha = 0.3;
But I wonder how can I use variables instead of numbers ( 1 and 3 ) above??
I mean for example:
var i:int = 1;
var j:int = 3;
this["helpB"+i+"Btns.helpB"+i+"B"+j+".alpha"] = 0.3; //Error
["helpB"+i+"Btns.helpB"+i+"B"+j+".alpha"] = 0.3; //Error
this["helpB"+i+"Btns"].["helpB"+i+"B"+j+".alpha"] = 0.3; //Error
For instance, this code works fine:
this["helpB"+i+"Btns"].alpha = 0.3;
(this.helpB1Btns.alpha = 0.3;)
But I have no idea to code this:
this.helpB1Btns.helpB1B3.alpha = 0.3;
I appreciate your help or any refference I could learn this fundamentally?

ahhhhhhh......I was only one DOT wrong and trying different methods for HALF AN HOUR!! lol
I wish Flash was more intelligent to correct such small mistakes!!
Thank you SO MUCH for your reply

Please help on how to use variables inside a method call

Hello guys,
How's it goin?
Pardon me if you find my question silly, but I am relatively
new in ActionScript 2.0 programming.
I have here a simple problem. It seems I can't use a variable
inside a method call of an object. Here's the code. Please note of
the authParams string variable below.
import AkamaiConnection;
import mx.services.WebService;
var GeneratedToken:String;
var authParams:String;
// Create a Web Service object
var TokGenService:WebService = new WebService("
http://webservice.asmx?wsdl");
// Call the web service method
var myToken:Object = TokGenService.GenerateToken();
// Create an AkamaiConnection object
var connection:AkamaiConnection = new AkamaiConnection();
connection.addEventListener("onConnect", this);
connection.addEventListener("onError", this);
// If you get a result from the web service, save the result
in a variable
myToken.onResult = function(result)
// If you get a result from the web service, save the result
in a variable
myToken.onResult = function(result)
GeneratedToken = result;
authParams = GeneratedToken +
"&aifp=v001&slist=37414/test/Streaming/";
//Call the Connect method of the AkamaiConnection class
connection.connect("cp37414.edgefcs.net/ondemand",true,true,5,true,false,"443","rtmpt",
authParams);
But then, if I use a hard-coded string value in lieu of the
variable, the method call works!
connection.connect("cp37414.edgefcs.net/ondemand",true,true,5,true,false,"443","rtmpt",
"testStringvalue");
I don't know what I'm missing or what I'm doing wrong... Can
somebody help me please? I am using a 30-day trial version of Adobe
Flash CS3. Also, when I Trace output the variables, the values are
there. It just that they can't be read or recognize inside the
method call. Is this a ActionScript limitation?
Thanks so much in advance!

The result param is a returned, “Decoded ActionScript
object version of the XML”. I am not exactly sure what that
means but I have had issues of returned XML values and their
datatype. When I did have these issues I had to cast or convert
into the desired datatype. Try one of the following, assuming the
problem is related to the code that you have bolded.
GeneratedToken = result.toString();
authParams = GeneratedToken +
"&aifp=v001&slist=37414/test/Streaming/";
Or
GeneratedToken = String(result);
authParams = GeneratedToken +
"&aifp=v001&slist=37414/test/Streaming/";
Or
GeneratedToken = result.toString();
authParams = String(GeneratedToken +
"&aifp=v001&slist=37414/test/Streaming/");

HT2305 Since updating my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7, my Ipod Shuffle, 3rd generation does not recognize last 3 playlist names; it calls them out as "playlist 3, playlist 4 -- even though in the panel the names are showing just fine. The music

I have recently updated my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I have just added three new playlists to my Ipod Shuffle, 3rd generation. On the panel in ITunes in view on the computer, all looks fine and music plays. However, after syncing a million times, when clicking to "hear" the playlists, the voice will call out all the old playlists just fine - except for the 3 new ones I've added; it calls them out as "playlist 3, playlist 8, or "purchased". All software for the ITunes has been updated as of the moment. Why would switching from Vista to Windows 7 cause this frustrating issue? All help appreciated.

From page 23 of your iPod's User Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
If VoiceOver is disabled in iTunes, you hear an abbreviated menu of playlists in numbered order, but not by name (for example, “Playlist 1, Playlist 2,” and so on).
So you'll want to make sure VoiceOver is enabled to correct this.

Using variables as table names. Ideas for alternative designs

Hi,
I am designing an application which uses synonyms to pull information from 'client' DBs via DB Links. The synonyms are created with a DB_ID in the name (example: CUSTOMER_100, CUSTOMER_200... where 100 and 200 are DB IDs from 2 separate client DBs.
I have a procedure which selects data from the synonym based on what DB_ID is passed to the procedure. I want to be able to run this one procedure for any DB_ID that is entered. I am now aware I cannot use variable names for table names and using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE doesnt seem to fit for what I am trying to do.
Does anybody have any suggestions or re-design options I could use to achieve this generic procedure that will select from a certain synonym based on the DB info input parameters? Thanks.

Hi
rules engine style with table that holds the logic or code SQL directly in the procedure and IF THEN ELSE with db_id. Latter is better because SQL is native and objects are checked every time procedure is compiled.

Need to use variable inside a text field.

I have a field in my database called "introduction" that contains the following:
"My name is #myname#"
When I output #introduction# to the webpage, I would like #myname# to show the field value - i.e. "My name is Brett". How do I let CF know to display the variable? Right now, I'm gettting "My name is #myname#"
thanks!
B.

This is a troublesom construct that will often devole into more trouble then it is worth, but almost everybody tries it at least once.
Anyway you can use the evaluate() function to do what you wish.
I.E.
<cfoutput>#evaluate(introduction)#</cfoutput>

Passing variables inside a url to call a query

Hello,
I have created a BSP-application with a restful webservice to transform a BW-query (BI7) into a XML-File for further development with XCelsius.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.highlightedcontent?documenturi=%2fwiki%2fsdn_wiki%2fwiki%2fdisplay%2fbi%2fexpose%2bbi%2bquery%2bas%2brestful%2bservice
The service works fine when I use a query that doesn't need any variables.
Unfortunately, there is a problem when I try to pass some mandatory variables.
Here is a sample-url I use to call the restful webservice.
http://<BW-System>:<Port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/z_xmlexport1/data.xml?infocube=<my_infocube>&query=<my_query>&VAR_NAME_1=<variable name>&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=<variable_value>
But I get this error message on my browser:
<ERRORMESSAGE>invalid_input</ERRORMESSAGE>
When debugging the code, I can see that all parameters for the FM 'RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA' are there and filled properly. But still the exception "invalid_input" is raised.
Any help on calling queries with mandatory variables?
Thanks!

Hello,
0COMP_CODE is an infoobject, how can you directly use an infoobject for selection. I mean am not aware of link passed to Xcelsius but what i feel is you need to first create a variable for 0COMP_CODE by opening your query in query designer. and for VAR_NAME_1 use this variable name.
You can check the definition of the variable by opening your query in query designer and under 0COMP_CODE expand the list, select your variable and on right side it shows the property. In one of the tab it will show whether its ready for input or not. (its a check box option)

XSLT Transformation - using variables in title name

Hi,
Is there a way to set the title attribute of a table tab in XSLT dynamically through xslt? I'm trying to display sections of code which have the title hardcoded and are present in the xml being rendered. I need the title of that section determined dynamically while parsing through the object nodes of the xml.
Example:
<table id="Table ID" title="/Object1/attribute1/name" columnCount="3" seqNo="1">
instead of hardcoding the title name in the XSLT can we pull the name and set it from the xml being processed?
Thanks,
Pavan

<section id="CALCULATION" title="Calculation">
               <table id="CALCULATION" title="ClientName Calculation Information" columnCount="3" seqNo="1">
                    <xsl:for-each select="//returnableObjects/IntermediateResultsJB/IntermediateResultJB">
                         <xsl:if test="resultSetName[.='Client Name Calculation Information']">
                              <xsl:variable name="Variable1" select="resultName"/>

     <resultSetName>ResultSetName3</resultSetName>
     <resultName>Name</resultName>
     <resultValue>Value</resultValue>
     <resultOrder>3</resultOrder>
</IntermediateResultJB>I want the XSLT above to use the <resultSetName> value["ClientName Calculation Information" e.g] to be set in the value of the title attribute of the <table> as well as <section>.

Using variable as table name in pl/sql query - Is possible?

I am relatively new to PL/SQL and I am trying to create a function that accepts a table name and a rowid as arguments and returns a comma-delimited record string of the values of the table/rowid being passed. The problem is , I cannot code a select stmt as follows
SELECT * FROM v_table_name
WHERE rowid = v_row_id
in PL/SQL. There must be a easy way to approach this.
Thanks for any and all advice.

I don't understand the use of the concat symbol along with the commas and field namesYou just need (if you really need it) to create variable which contains you column separated by comma:
Simple example (in the second case separate variables are used to create
the list of columns):
SQL> declare
2   rc sys_refcursor;
3   cols varchar2(200) := 'ename, empno, sal';
4   tab varchar2(30) := 'emp';
5 begin
6   open rc for 'select ' || cols || ' from ' || tab;
7   close rc;
8 end;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Use variable for symbol name

I am trying to reference a symbol element that looks like this:
elementName = variableName + "Menu";
var menuChoice = sym.getSymbol('printMenu').$(elementName);
when I console.log ("menuChoice" + menuChoice) I get
object Object
How do I accomplish using a variable as a symbol name?

Yes. I have a function that does a number of things so I am not looking to rewrite the menu Symbol.

How can we use variables for instance name?

I'm using 9 textbox in my stage. Names are similar, only difference is the last character. (s1_0, s1_1, s1_2, ...). I'm trying to use these textbox in a loop. But I couldn't find the right typing... s1_[i], s1_(i) or s1_{i} gives error.
s1_0.text=0
s1_1.text=0
s1_2.text=0
s1_3.text=0
s1_4.text=0
s1_5.text=0
s1_6.text=0
s1_7.text=0
how can make the shortest typing for this issue?

yes, its working, thank you very much...
I tried array operator but the word "this"..
what does it means ? when I delete this word, it gives error. how does flash know that it is a instance name?

How get the name of calling form

Hi to All,
I have 2 forms, for example A_FORM and B_FORM.
With a button A_FORM call B_FORM.
How can initialise in B_FORM a variable with the name of calling form A_FORM ?
Thank You and Best Regards.
Gaetano

Hi Meegada
You have understood right.
In B_FORM the trigger WHE-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE call a procedure INIT_LIST, like this:
PROCEDURE Init_List (A_FORMNAME IN VARCHAR2(200)) IS
Cursor LeRows IS
Select *
From MYTABLE
Where (MYTABLE_CODE = :BL.CODE) AND (MYTABLE_FORM = A_FORMNAME)
ORDER BY MYTABLE_CODE ;
BEGIN
END;
A_FORMNANE is the name of the calling form A_FORM.
How can in form B_FORM initialise the var A_FORMNAME ?
Thank You.
Greetings..

Move used variables/strings

Dear all,
I try to use Dasylab to control and collect data from several equipments at lab (thermostat, stirrer, syringe pump, manostat, thermometer...). Now I have prepared several worksheets (each for single equipment) and it +- works (it is necessary to complete with some functionality but for collecting current lab data it is sufficient). The worksheets works, but only for single equipment, but I need to work with all of them. So I rebuild the worksheets that the each equipment is packed at black boxes (each worksheet one black box ant it works). Then I save all of black boxes and put them to one worksheet. Unfortunately, the worksheet prepared this way doesn’t work because there are problems with global string and variables. When I save the black box, I don't save the string/variables definitions. For instance the expression of one string in original worksheet is calculated automatically this way: "R" + SubStr( "000",1, 3-(${VAR_51}>=1000)-(${VAR_51}>=100)-(${VAR_51}>10)) + StrFmt(${VAR_51},8,0)+${STR_52} to prepare output string "R0120\r". I am able to export and import global string and variables but only as whole package of 999 variables. I don’t know how to move only used ones (I am able to move them at TXT format, but I am not able to read them to Dasilab as variables).
I have two questions:
1 - Is there any possibility to set "calculate expression automatically" for string/variable during running of program (using some action module or something like that)?
2 - Is there any possibility to save only used strings/variables and collected several packages of variables to one (for instance VAR_1-VAR_50 for thermostat and VAR_100-VAR_150 for thermometer)?

I found that if I used the Define Global Variable dialog, and clicked the Save button, it gave me a choice of saving defined variables (those whose settings are not the default) or variable with descriptions.
I saved the file. It gave me a file that included all of the information.
I tried to use the Global Variables and Strings Import dialog, but the file was not ordered correctly.
I opened it in Excel and changed the columns around to match the Help (see picture). Then, I saved it as a TXT file again.
It imported with some errors - notably the additional settings, such as read at start, do not import. The one formula that I created imported correctly.
I think that you can save the used variables from your various worksheets, combine them into one file, change the order of the columns. Since it's a text file, you can change the variable numbers if you need to...
Unfortunately, you cannot import strings this way, as the Help says "DASYLab can only read in strings from VAR formats." Personally, I agree that this is a major limitation!

Using Variable in place of property name in set_item_property procedure.

Hello,
I need to change the item properties dynamically by using variables for both properties names and their values.But during compilation its showing me error "Too many declrations".Kindly suggest me any best way.

You already have the answer to that one in the posting above.
Your table would presumable include rows HEIGHT, WIDTH etc.. as text columns
So you'd cross reference as above.
Alternatively you could find out what the numerical values are for HEIGHT (1509) and WIDTH (1508) are and store them in your master table alongside the description that your user will see. Then you can simply do the set_item_property.
This relies heavily on Oracle not changing the values for these constants. Even if they did you would just have to change your table. Then your solution is generic and future proof.
Built in for all properties: Not that I know of. But you could sort of use your table as above to help. Simply loop through the constants, do a get_item_property, and show that to the user.
You'll have to be careful about maybe classifying the things in your table to ensure you don't try to get an inappropriate property for the type of item.
With a little effort this will all definitely be possible.
I saw a thread the other day where someone had created a form called "props.fmb" which showed the item properties in a tree style. See if you can find that. This was fairly hard coded compared to what you want, but it would be pretty good as a basis.

Can i use a environment variable inside a *.sql file?

Hello,
I want to create a external table.
So i am using the command
create or replace directory abc as 'C:\folder'.... inside a sql file.
Now i want the path "C:\folder" to be dynamic as i am using this path in many other places also inside the sql file.So i thought to create a environment variable and put this value there.I tried using as %PATH% but it gives error..... where %PATH%=C:\folder.
Can i use a environment variable inside a *.sql file?
But how to do that or is there any other way.
Thanks

Actually what i want is the path "C:\folder" is not fixed it can be anything which i may not know the user may decide it later. Not supported. A directory object refers to a specific physical location (directory/folder) on a file system. Not a path.
You can work around it by (creating and) using a function (running under a super user schema with authid definer privs). The caller (e.g. schema scott ) calls it with a physical path. E.g. GetDirectoryObject( 'C:\folder\2010\feb\week4' ).
This function determines if there is an existing directory object for the path. If not, it uses a wildcard search to determine if there are any directory objects for parents in the path (e.g. for C:\folder\2010\feb or C:\folder\2010 or C:\folder ).
If it finds a directory object, it interrogates the data dictionary to determine if the caller, schema scott for example, has read/write access on that directory object. If it has, it creates a new directory object and grants the caller read/write access to it. The function then returns the name of the directory object to the caller.
The caller thus do not deal directly with directory objects. The function returns the object name given a physical path as input. Also, only a single base directory needs to be created (e.g. for C:\folder ) and access granted to the schema on it. Any sub-directory in that base directory can now be dynamically accessed by the schema.

Accessing movieclip name for loadMovie() with a concatenated variable

Okay, I have a movie which generates a certain amount of
movieclips [determined by a variable]. They are given the names
mc_placeholder1 to mc_placeholderx.
Later in the movie, I want to access each of these
placeholder movieclips in turn to attach an image to them with
movieName.loadMovie(). However, which of the placeholder movieclips
is being accessed is determined by a variable, i. So, if i=3 I
would want to attach to mc_placeholder3.
Hard coding
var movieName=mc_placeholder3;
movieName.loadMovie(...)
works, but anything to concatenate the movieclip name such as
var movieName="mc_placeholder"+i;
does not, I assume because it changes it to a string.
How can I get it to perform .loadMovie on the movieclip named
mc_placeholderi where i is the value of the variable?
thank you

on the timeline where your movieclips are created use:
tl=this;
you can then use:

Use variables inside MovieClip names to call them in ASP 3.
