Using a var declared in a function outside that function

Hey, i am trying to do something i thought wouldn't be difficult, but looks like i'm wrong.
So this is a function that runs from the start (creationcomplete). Inside i declare a var txt (which is a string)
public function sendString(Event:FlexEvent):void
txt = "Voorbeeld van een band";
I want to call that var outside of the function. So I make it bindable. it's also the reason why i call teh var just by "txt" in the functions above.
[Bindable]
public var resultName:String;
Now, in this label i call the var txt. However, the label stays empty. Though I don't get any errors.
<s:Label x="20" y="69" fontSize="16" text="{txt}"/>
Can anyone help me fix this? I figure it should be rather easy, but still.
Also, If i call the function from a mouseclick, will i get an error then since the label asks for a var that doesn't exist yet?
Many thanks!

Local variables can be seen or use databinding. Try making an instance variable on the class/document

If we use DML statement in function then that function can be used inside s

if we use DML statement in function then that function can be used inside select query or any DML query?

select f from t2;I think you meant to query t1.
It works if the function is an autonomous transaction:
create or replace function f return number
is
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
begin
    update t1 set c=2;
    commit;
    return 1;
end;
select f from t1But as Billy said why would you want to do DML this way. And this is not the way autonomous procedures should be used either.

Use a wrapper to build a C++ Dll that calls a C++ .lib and Use the Dll is LabView

Hi All,
I need to access some functions in a C++ .lib within LabView, but has no source code for the library. Can I build a Dll in Visual C++ that calls this library, then have LabView calls the Dll? If so, how different is building this Dll compared to building a Dll from a .cpp file? I am new to C++, could some one suggest how to use the .lib in Visual C++ 6.0 studio to build the Dll?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Rolf, thanks for the info. I will try to build a vi to call that function. For a more immediate need, I can use a downloaded vi that calls SetActiveWindow function, then use its output windowshandle to find the window name with a lvwuser32.dll function. The problem is this find window name function vi requires a windows reference input, which does not take the window handle output from the SetActiveWindow vi. How do i convert the window handle into a reference number? Thanks again.
Don't try to write a VI to call that function. That function requires a callback function pointer, something that is more or less impossible (well you can get it done but it is not worth the trouble) to create in LabVIEW. You will need an external DLL that does the enumeration and returns an array of strings to LabVIEW.
The lvwuser32.dll also just uses window handles. Look inside those VIs and you should see that those window references are typecasted into uint32 and then passed to the Call Library Node if I remember correctly. You definitely should be able to typecast the (probably uint32) you get from your other function into the window reference that that VI takes. The window reference of the lvutil library is just a nice trick to make it refnum like so that you can not inadvertly wire something else to it (and confuse/crash Windows).

Using vars declared in scriptlets in EL & vice versa

I'd like to reference the same variable in both a scriptlet and in some EL on a JSP page. Is there a different way to do this other than setting a pageContext attribute? For example, I'd like to do something like this:
Won't work:
<%
String theString;
// manipulate the string
%>
${theString}
Does work (but requires setting the pageContext attribute at the end of the scriptlet):
<%
String theString;
// manipulate the string
pageContext.setAttribute("stringFoo", theString);
%>
${stringFoo}Is there a better way to do this? I played around with jsp declarations and c:sets but to no avail. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to be working for me, which is confusing. I am using jsp:useBean b/c my CTO doesn't want to use struts, so hopefully it's doable. Also, I tried using bean:define and kept getting the exception at the end of this post. Probably something I messed up when installing struts.
Here is some code that outputs the following:
1. outside scriptlet:
2. in scriptlet: world
3. outside scriptlet: foo
4. in scriptlet: worldLooks like ${test} is not corresponding to the bean called "test." Why would that be? And how then does the scriptlet know what the test variable is then if it is not associated with the useBean? I don't have any other type declaration on the page...
<jsp:useBean id="test" class="java.lang.String" scope="session"/>
<%
         test = "world";
%>
1. outside scriptlet: <c:out value="${test}"/>
<%
     out.println("2. in scriptlet: " + test);
%>
<c:set var="test" value="foo" />
3. outside scriptlet: <c:out value="${test}"/>
<%
     out.println("4. in scriptlet: " + test);
%>Now here's that exception I was getting when trying to do a simple
<bean:define id="test" name="test" type="java.lang.String"/>

`Hi!
I've writen the very simple class get_results with one methode test:

Is there a way to use the 'search' function outside the search menu

Is it possible, to activate the 'search function' outside the 'search menu' on the iPod classic ? With 30000 songs and more on an iPod, it would be great, if I could use this option i.e. in cover flow, display songs, or display albums. This way, I won't get any blisters on my fingers, from scrolling from "A hard day's night" to "You can't do that".
Thanks for your help !

A couple of suggestions:
1. If you just have a few items you don't want included when you shuffle then find them in your library or playlist, pull up the info on the song/book/etc (File menu, Get info option), go to the "Options" tab and click the box that says "Skip when shuffling"
2. If there are a lot of items, then you may want to create a smart playlist (File menu, New Smart Playlist option) and set it up so that it excludes all the items you don't want. Then you can play that playlist on shuffle.
Hope that helps!

Declaring a variable in a function: either the function or the eventListener I'm using doesn't work

Can anyone help me with this?
I have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc.
Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. Can someone help?
The error message I get is:
1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer.
I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.
var theAnswer;
vid.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cueAnswers);
function cueAnswers(e:MetadataEvent):void{
var cuePointNames = e.info.name;
if (cuePointNames =="start")
theAnswer = "C";
else if (cuePointNames =="q2")
theAnswer = "A";
else if (cuePointNames =="q3")
theAnswer = "C";
else if (cuePointNames =="q4")
theAnswer = "A";
else if (cuePointNames =="q5")
theAnswer = "D";
else if (cuePointNames =="q6")
theAnswer = "C";
else if (cuePointNames =="q7")
theAnswer = "A";
else if (cuePointNames =="q8")
theAnswer = "D";
else if (cuePointNames =="q9")
theAnswer ="B"
else if (cuePointNames =="q10")
theAnswer ="B";
The function is called by this later:
function nkAinfo(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (theAnswer=="C")
trace("You clicked right");
else
trace("You clicked wrong");
What's going on? Is the function not being called or are my variable declarations wrong?

Probably not the answer to your question, but it could help anyways....
First there is another command that, to me at least, is much easier to read that a bunch of nested if/if elses. And that is the switch.
switch (e.info.name){
case "start":
theAnswer="C";
break;
case "q2":
theAnswer="A"
break;
//and so on
To me that is easier to maintain and read. But I don't think that is really what you need here. So just file that one away for the future.
In this case, what I think you need is an array.
var currentAnswer:String;
var correctAnswers:Array=new Array();
correctAnswers["start"]="C"
correctAnswers["q2"]="A"
// and so on.
Then your cuepoint handler function becomes something like this:
function cueAnswers(e:MetadataEvent):void{
     currentAnswer=correctAnswers[e.info.name];
And I'm a little confused by your mouse click handler. It would seem to suggest that the answer is always "C"? But I"m guessing that it is supposed to compare what the user clicked on to what the cuePoint has told it is the correct answer? Well if that is the case then it would probably look something like:
function nkAinfo(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(e.currentTarget.clickedProperty==currentAnswer){
     trace("Correct");
} else {
     trace("Incorrect");
With the way you are currently doing this I'm guessing that you have a bunch of repeated functions for each time there is a mouse click and that your code is a lot more complicated that it needs to be. And that somewhere hiding in all those lines there is an error that would be simple to fix if you could see it.
What the error is telling you is that somewhere your are trying to assign or retrieve theAnswer and it hasn't been defined yet.

Calling function outside of stage scope

So that it will be easy for me to call a hideNav() function, I put the function outside the stage scope. You can see the end of the stage closure below followed by the various things I've tried that do not work. Suggestions welcomed. The alert fires fine so it's an issue with addressing the back button on the main timeline.
     .... stage script stuff here
})("stage");
   //Edge symbol end:'stage'
// If you don't understand a concept, put all the words you know in random order and see if something happens - but it doesn't
function hideNav(){
    alert("hide");
    sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("back").hide();
    sym.getComposition().getStage().$("back").hide();
    sym.$("stage").backButton.hide();
    sym.getSymbol("back").hide();
    sym.getParentSymbol().getSymbol("back").hide();
    backButton.hide();
    sym.$("back").hide();
PS, yes I tried them one at a time. This is just a compilation of my greatest non-hits.

Here is an example using the stage to call the "back" symbol as well as another symbol calling the "back" symbol:
//Edge symbol: 'stage'
(function(symbolName) {
Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "document", "compositionReady", function(sym, e) {
    //if you want a shortcut method
    sym.hideNav = function(){
      sym.getSymbol("back").hideNav();
//Edge binding end
})("stage");
//Edge symbol end:'stage'
//=========================================================
//Edge symbol: 'back'
(function(symbolName) {
Symbol.bindSymbolAction(compId, symbolName, "creationComplete", function(sym, e) {
    sym.showNav = function() {
      //do stuff
      console.log('showing');
    sym.hideNav = function() {
      //do stuff
      console.log('hiding');
//Edge binding end
})("back");
//Edge symbol end:'back'
//=========================================================
//Edge symbol: 'something_else'
(function(symbolName) {
Symbol.bindSymbolAction(compId, symbolName, "creationComplete", function(sym, e) {
    //this is an example of another symbol using either method to talk to "back"
    var stage = sym.getComposition().getStage();
    //method 1 (calls the method on the stage, which calls the method on the symbol)
    stage.hideNav();
    //method 2 (calls the method on the symbol directly)
    stage.getSymbol('back').hideNav();
//Edge binding end
})("something_else");
//Edge symbol end:'something_else'

Vars declaration

Hello everybody,
I've got a couple of questions about vars declaration, mainly inside methods. The thing is I read somewhere that since inside a method vars wont get a default value, you should declare them assigning its "natural" default, just as a good practice and to guarantee they don't get garbage at the value.
public boolean declareVars(MyObject param) {
    boolean isEmpty = false;
    MyObject o = null;
    //do stuff
    isEmpty = o.equals(param);
    return isEmpty;
}But in some other place said, you should not declare vars at the begining since this is not C++. Declaration should be done when you need the object for the first time. What would be a better advice?
And to make the couple, here's the second. When you need a var thats gonna be instantiated inside a loop several times, is there any diference or advantage if I write the declare statement before the loop begins instead of insede the loop?
//Outside the loop
MyObject mo = null;
for (MyObject item: myObjects) {
    mo = item;
// do stuff using mo
//Inside the loop
for (MyObject item: myObjects) {
   MyObject mo = item;
// do stuff using mo
Thanks in advance for your advise.

The general guideline is that a variable should be declared in as constrained a scope as possible -- within the block where it is used, if it does not need to be accessed from outside the block.
is there any diference or advantage if I write the declare statement before the loop begins instead of insede the loop?From the performance standpoint, no difference. Semantically, if it makes sense that the variable be scoped within the loop, then that's where it should be declared.

Declaring functions in other functions and callbacks

Hi - I'm curious to know if the following situation is
possible (I haven't gotten it to work yet).
I'd like to load a series of images, and in the callback,
place them in different positions in my array. Instead of writing a
separate callback for each image, I'd like to do something like the
following:
But it looks like each version of the function gets the end
version of "i", not the version of i that existed when the function
was declared.
Is something like this at all possible?

Right. The whole point of the question is if is possible to
dynamically declare functions for use as callbacks.
For example, in the standard loading functions, you register
a callback like this:
var load:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swf);
load.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
swfloadcallback);
load.load(req);
function swfloadcallback(e:Event):void
The problem with the standard callback function is that I
can't add additional arguments to it. For example, I couldn't have
swfloadcallback take in an additional argument (for example the
index of the swf I'm trying to load). What I'm wondering is if in
actionscript 3 it's possible to dynamically declare callbacks such
that I only have to write the code once, but in essence I am adding
additional parameters to the callback.
Hence the example I listed above. What I was trying to
accomplish there was basically dynamically creating callbacks that
understood which index to insert the loaded image into. But clearly
that example doesn't work.

Need an suggestion regarding the use of a FUNCTION in a FUNCTION?(solved)

Hi,
I have created a function below.
Should i use the dynamic sql or go ahead with the function that i have italicized and bold-faced below within my main function?
If i am better off using a this function within my main function, is the syntax wrong?
create or replace FUNCTION chk_dec(p_date date)
return NUMBER
as
--DECLARE
v_dt NUMBER;
v_groups NUMBER;
v_delta NUMBER;
v_perc_delta NUMBER;
v_string varchar2(1024);
v_result NUMBER;
CURSOR c_before IS
     select date,groups,
groups-lag(groups) over(order by date),
trunc(((groups-lag(groups) over(order by date))/groups)*100,2)
     from group_statistics
          where to_date(date,'YYYYMMDD') between p_date-1 and p_date
          order by date desc;
---bringing back two rows and all records on purpose.
BEGIN
     OPEN c_before;
     FETCH c_before INTO v_dt,v_groups,v_delta,v_perc_delta;
--DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_perc_delta);
close c_before;
v_string:='select value from config_table where name=''group_dec''';
--v_string:=get_number('group_dec');
execute immediate v_string into v_result;
if v_perc_delta <= v_result then
return v_perc_delta;
end if;
END chk_dec;
Thank You

If i am better off using a this function within my main function, is the syntax wrong? Who can tell? This is a bizarre looking set of functionality. No doubt it makes sense to you but for me it doesn't seem to join up. What is supposed to happen if
v_perc_delta > v_result ????
Anyway I would forget about dynamic SQL or a function. Neither seems necessary. this will do
close c_before;
select value into v_result
from config_table where name='group_dec;

Package question - what are the uses for /var/sadm/pkg ?

I'm writing packages and noticed once a packages is installed using pkgadd, that files and dirs are created in the /var/sadm/pkg directory. I'm specificly intereseted in the pkginfo file - it contains all the variables from my request script and their values. My question is what are all the uses for this file?
I've noticed that pkginfo reads from it but would there be any problem deleting certain lines from that file (lines not used by pkginfo - just variables used in the request script that I'd really rather not have floating around in a publicly accessable file).
thanks!
Bob

I'm refering specificly to the file "/var/sadm/pkg/<pkgName>/pkginfo" - it's created during pkgadd and contains all the variable-value pairs from the packages pkginfo file as well as any variables used in the request script and copied to it's temporary response file. I'm not refering to the pkginfo file that you create as a package infofile component.
I want to remove, from the /var/sadm/pkg/<pkgName>/pkginfo file, certain var-value pairs that were used in my request scripts (not part of the InfoFile/pkginfo component). Otherwise, any user can look at this file or run 'pkgparam <pkgName>' and get that sensative info.
To the best of my knowledge, this file is only used by the commands pkgparam and pkginfo. Are there other uses?
My worries are:
-is it OK to remove lines manually during the postinstall script?
-will doing this cause problems with any admin or package maintenance functions?
Thanks-
Bob

Question about duplicate var declaration....

the ff. code will compile and run... my question is there's a duplicate var declaration
(s var as a String type)...
Big Q: "Why the compiler didnt complain about it?"
it should be "duplicate var declaration" sort of thing......
public class Bits {
     public static void main(String args[]){
              new Bits();
    public Bits(){
         f1();
    private String s; // class var declaration, var name is "s"
    private void f1(){
       // another var declaration name "s", why the compiler dont complain about this!?!
         String s=new String("Hello World!");
         f2();
    private void f2(){
    // does this var "s" refers to the class var?
         System.out.println ("s: "+s); // the output is null
}Thanks!

Big Q: "Why the compiler didnt complain about it?"
it should be "duplicate var declaration" sort of
thing......Bcos one is a local variable and the other is an instance variable. They arent duplicates.
> private String s; // class var declaration, var name is "s"
>
private void f1(){
// another var declaration name "s", why the compiler dont complain about >this!?!
     String s=new String("Hello World!"); As i said b4, this is a local variable. Within the scope of this method, this variable hides the instance var, 's' , to access which, u will have to use this.s
>
private void f2(){
// does this var "s" refers to the class var?Yes.
System.out.println ("s: "+s); // the output is null//that's bcos u havent initialized it anywhere. Local variable have to be compulsorily initialized. Instance variables are initialized to null (if they are Object references)
