Using an Underscore in Name. Is it OK?

Is it OK if I save my .html page as:
2D_illustration.html
or
after_effects.html
I had a friend say that using an underscore in the name could present problems. Is this true?
Thanks

No. Your friend is wrong. It's better to use an underscore _ or a hyphen - than to leave a space between words which most definitely can cause problems.
Alterntively, you could use AfterEffects.html but if your server is linux and case sensitive, this can get confusing. I would suggest you find a naming convention you like and use it consistently.

Why use underscores in names?

Hi,
Ive noticed that some classes and variables etc use an underscore _ at the start of the word.
E.g.
org.omg.CORBA._PolicyStub
with the method,
String[] _ids()
Why is this?
I can understand possibly using underscores between two words although I dont use that myself. But why at the start of the word?
Cheers, Jim

In the "good old times" of C this convention was considered as reserved for the internal functions (methods are called functions in C) of the standard library.
Since all C functions were global - and one could / had to use also global variables, this distinction made sense.
Though it's ugly - at least according to my taste. But a "normal" C programmer did almost never see one of these identifiers.
If you use it in Java to mark the scope of a variable, I consider it senseful as well (and ugly again).
I myself prefer i for instance, s for static and l for local - the "name" of the variable starts with upper case then, like:String lMessage = iMessage + " ...";
if( lMessage.length() < 10 )
iMessage = lMessage;(dummy example)

Use of underscores in chm filenames

Hi Everyone,
I recently came across the following as a result of a web search..
Location
http://alist.adobe.co.uk/devnet/robohelp/articles/merged_help_06.html
Potential problem highlighted with merged projects
"CHM filenames
Avoid the use of underscores, the hash symbol and suchlike in the names of the CHM files you create. They have been found to cause problems with merged Microsoft HTML help. Stick with alphanumeric characters and no spaces."
Has anyone experienced problems related to this and if so what exactly?
I am usually led to believe that underscores in a filename is a fairly safe practice???

I have used merged CHMs for over 10 years and in the past I have had problems with underscores in the file name. The problem I faced was that file names with underscores just did not appear in the merged project output at all. Remove the underscore and it did. That was back in the days of RHX4 so things may have changed but I've never tempted fate!
Read the RoboColum(n) for a tips, tricks and musings on the Technical Communication Suite products.
Thanks for that. To be honest I was wondering of this issue might be related to a problem I've been observing with html help projects where the compiled output files revert unprompted to the same version as the baggage files. I've been unable to see what's causing that problem and whilst searching the web I came up the Adobe pages I quoted. As this was a potentially different issue I started a separate discussion...

Wat is the use of "DATA var-name LIKE SY-INDEX" statement

Hi to all,
       is there any use of "DATA <var-name> LIKE SY-INDEX" statement in ABAP, do the variable <var-name> be changed with that of SY-INDEX when we declare like this.
         Could u give me a fast response,
                                        Thank you,
                                             Srinivasa Rao k.

hi check this example..
data: v_index type sy-index value 10 .
do 15 times .
if sy-index = v_index .
write:/ 'the system index is 10 '.
exit.
endif.
enddo.
the main use of the index is used in the hr programs..
the user wants the emp salary and previous months   salary then you need to use the index .
if the table had 10 records .then you need to catch the record of index1(current) and index 2(for previous month)..
select pernr ansal from pa0008 into table it_pa0008 where pernr in s_pernr and begda in s_begda .
loop at it_pa0008.
case sytabix.
when 1 .
it_final-cursal = it_pa0008-ansal.
when 2 .
it_final-prevsal = it_pa0008-ansal.
endcase .
endloop.

How do I use the event.target.name String with an external dispatchEvent?

...I hope the title question makes sense...
On my stage I have an externally loaded SWF with a button. When clicked the button dispatches an event to the main stage.
On the main stage a listener then loads an SWF into a loader called gallery.
The gallery loader is also being shared by buttons on the main stage which use the event.target.name String to call in SWFs with corresponding names.
I am using Tweens to fade-out and -in content to the gallery when a button is pressed.
Loading the SWFs was working until I tried to create a universal button function for the dispatchEvent buttons...
The problem I have is that I don't know how to define the String to tell the newSWFRequest where to find the SWF when triggered by the external buttons.
(I may be doing this all wrong... but figured the best way to load an SWF on to the main stage from an external SWF was by using dispatchEvent??)
My code triggers the Event and the gallery loader fades out, but then it cannot find the new SWF:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
Please can someone help me understand the way to make the String point in the right direction? (I think the only errors are in bold below)
Code:
var myTweenIn2:Tween;
var myTweenOut2:Tween;
var nextLoadS2:String;
// Listen for external event dispatched from external btns
addEventListener("contactStage", btnClickExtrnl);
function btnClickExtrnl(e:Event):void {
nextLoadS2 = ?????
myTweenOut2=new Tween(gallery,"alpha",None.easeOut,gallery.alpha,0,0.2,true);
myTweenOut2.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteF2);
// Btns Universal function
function tweenOutCompleteF2(e:TweenEvent){
myTweenOut2.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteF2);
myTweenOut2=null;
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/" + nextLoadS2 + ".swf");
myTweenIn2 = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, gallery.alpha, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
Thank you.

That works – thank you!
I'm now using this code to fade in each of the SWFs:
function contactStage(e:MouseEvent):void {
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/"+e.currentTarget.name+".swf");
    myTweenIn = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, 0, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
But I cannot add the fade out function. I have amended the above code to create:
var myTweenOutX:Tween;
var myTweenInX:Tween;
function contactStage(e:MouseEvent):void {
myTweenOutX=new Tween(gallery,"alpha",None.easeOut,gallery.alpha,0,0.2,true);
myTweenOutX.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteFX);
function tweenOutCompleteFX(e:TweenEvent){
myTweenOutX.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteFX);
myTweenOutX=null;
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/"+e.currentTarget.name+".swf");
myTweenInX = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, 0, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
But get this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property name not found on fl.transitions.Tween and there is no default value.

Obiee 11g and custom j2ee app using the same cookie name

Hi,
I wrote a same j2ee web application. i'am using authentification through a realm configured in the web.xml.
This web app is deployed in the same weblogic than obiee 11g. What i want to do is to embed my application in a dashboard using an iframe tag, and use the same login from analytics to my custom web app.
In this article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/security/thin_client.html#wp1039551, it is said that by default, all web apps in the sames weblogic server are using the same cookie name so that they share authentification between them. However, i have read in the web that analytics in obiee 11g is using a cookie with the name "ORA_BIPS_NQID".
In the weblogic.xml of my custom application, i set the cookie-name parameter to ORA_BIPS_NQID. However, in the dashbord, it still prompt for authentification to my custom web app.
How can we share authentification between analytics and a custom web app in the same weblogic ?
NB : I dont want to pass the username et password through the url.
Thanks.

By default, if you don't specify a cookie-name in the weblogic.xml configuration file, the weblogic server create a cookie named JSESSIONID for your application. For exemple, if two applications use the default configuration, both of them will use the same cookie name which is JSESSIONID. In this case, when you log in the first application, your are automaticaly logged in the second application with the same credentials. I have already test this kind of integration and it works perfectly. You only need that the two applications are deployed in the same weblogic server.
Now, i want to have the same behaviour between obiee 11g and my custom application deployed in the same weblogic server. I read somewhere in the web that obiee 11g presentation service (analytics) is configured with a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID". So in the weblogic.xml configuration file of my web app, i specify a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID" to have the same cookie-name between the two application. But, it still not work. It prompt for authentification in the dashboards.
I now, that such an integration is possible, because the other bi applications (mapviewer, bipublisher,...) are actually other web applications. However when using, for exemple, maps in dashbords, the mapviwer application automaticaly user the credentials of the user connected in analytics.

How do I configure snow leopard server to allow local client to access the server using its public domain name

I have SLS 10.6 running on my local network with DNS configured.
I can access the server from a client on the lan using server.local or server.domain where domain name is my publically registered domain,
From the internet I can access my server using the registered domain name i.e. www.domain.com.
Is it possible to set my server up so that www.domain.com also reaches the server when used by a client locally? At present I get a page not found error.

The configuration you're aiming for is called split-horizon or split-brain DNS, and it's quite possible. It can get slightly hairy when you have different stuff using the same host name for different purposes, for instance, and you'll need to track all external DNS entries in your internal DNS server when you're running "split".
Here is how to set up DNS services. Split-horizon is one of the options listed there.
My preference is to use a different domain or subdomain within the network, and to avoid using split-horizon where I can reasonably manage it. One domain name is configured for and reachable outside and is effectively public, and the other domain (or a subdomain) is inside and private and only reachable directly or via VPN, for instance.

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

Creating new flat file using TextEdit w/specified name and path

Hi all,
I am working on an Applescript to create a blank new plain text file (in /tmp with a unique filename derived from today's date and time) and am missing something 'cause I keep getting an error message.
Here's the code:
<pre class=command>
set Today to (do shell script "/bin/date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S") as string
set DefaultFilename to (Today & "TMP.txt") as text
set TMPpath to "/tmp/" as text
set TMPFile to (TMPpath & DefaultFilename)
tell application "TextEdit"
set NewDoc to make new document with properties {name:DefaultFilename, path:TMPpath}
end tell
</pre>
When I run the above code snippet I get the Applescript error message:
TextEdit got an error: NSArgumentsWrongScriptError
I understand that the properties listed in the make command should be a record, and that the individual properties comprising the record should each be text.
What am I missing here? Something obvious I suspect.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Ed

You're trying to use Unix-style paths for a Cocoa app, and that won't work.
You need to use Mac-style paths, that is, colon-delimited, not unix-style (slash-delimited) paths.
<pre class=command> set Today to (do shell script "/bin/date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S") as string
set DefaultFilename to (Today & "TMP.txt") as text
set TMPpath to ":private:tmp:" as text
set TMPFile to (TMPpath & DefaultFilename)
tell application "TextEdit"
set NewDoc to make new document with properties {name:DefaultFilename, path:TMPpath}
end tell</pre>
A slightly better solution is to use the path to command rather than a hard-coded path. path to temporary items will give you the path to the current OS temporary file directory, which is more reliable than hard-coded strings, especially since non-English versions of the OS mght not use the same path names.
<pre class=command> set TMPpath to path to temporary items as text</pre>

By the way, when I use operation "Revert to Recorded" for all nodes of my test and playback it again, I see in results that the script has passed without errors, but nothing has changed in database.

How to get the XML file if we are using the Product short name.

Hi,
Till now I have used Short name of the Concurrent Program for Code while creating a Data Definition. Now saw a seeded template which has given the Code by Product short name. If we have the concurrent program then it is easy to refer the fields by checking the XML file. In this case how to find the XML file or how to refer all the fields if we have given code with Product short name. I saw this for iReceivables(ARI). Anybody please help me.
Thanks.

Hi Siva
Just to clarify, rather than the short name of the conc program there is a shipped data definition that just uses the product short name? What is the data def so I can check it.
