Using variable to create a "cartoon strip"

Ok, here's my situation. It's a bit complicated to explain,
but probably does not have a complicated answer, so please bear
with me.
I'm developing a script that will allow the user (who happen
to be 2nd grade students) to create their own cartoon strips. This
is how I'd like it to function:
The user sees a screen with four images that have some sort
of visual relationship with each other. The student can arrange
these pictures by dragging them into a zone of rectangles numbered
1, 2, and so on. This will determine the sequence the pictures will
appear in for the next part of the activity. The student then hits
an "OK" button that will move the user forward.
Depending on which of the images they chose to be #1, the
user will see a screen with just that image appearing. To the side
they will have some cartoon "speech balloons", which will be their
own dragable movie clips that can be placed on top of the images.
These speech bubble movie clips will have an area inside them that
will allow the user to enter text. After the user has positioned
the speech bubble where they want, and have entered their text into
the bubble, they hit the OK button to move forward. This process
will repeat itself for the 2nd imaged, the 3rd, and so on.
After the student has finished this process with the four
images and speech balloons, they will be presented with a screen
which displays all four of the images in the sequence they
selected, with the speech balloons positioned where they had been
placed earlier, containing the text they had entered during the
previous steps. The student will then hit a print button to show
their work.
I had first looked into whether Flash was able to do "screen
grabs" to be saved as .jpgs, but found out this could not be done
without 3rd party add-on software which I'm unwilling to purchase
at this point. So the other solution seems to me that certain
variables need to be saved and retrieved for later.
The variables would be, the names of the images which had
initially been selected randomly, the order which the students
selected them to appear, the ._x and ._y values of the speech
balloons, and finally the text that was contained within them. I
know this can be done, but I'm an ActionScript newbie and am not
sure how to write this in a way that it will work.
I'm already familiar with how to randomly fetch an image (or
series of images), and I'm also familiar with how to load Movie
Clips onto the stage, and I also know how to create the dragable
movie clips. It's the storing and passing of the variables that I'm
going to need some help with. Any brave volunteers willing to offer
me some starting advice? Would it be more helpful if I first had an
.fla file with the basic elements in place? Please advise, any
information will be very helpful to me!
Thank you.

Use variables to create a custom Closed Captioning option

Hey,
I have a click box and text caption. On click of the click box I want to display a text caption and then on all slides throughout a project want that text caption box to remain on each screen, but want the content in that box to change per screen.
What's the best way to do this?

It is possible to do this but it's a bit involved because it requires that you run a check ON Slide Enter of each slide to find out if the CC captions should be displayed. And since those captions will be different objects on each slide, you'll need to set up a different Conditional Advanced Action for each slide. That's a lot of work just to replicate something that Captivate can do with its own CC text feature.
Here's one way to do it:
You place text captions that share the same style and size on each slide. Each caption should have the appropriate CC text for the audio on that slide.
Set up a variable to track whether the user has clicked the button to activate CC text, then set an Advanced Action to show the text caption on the slide where the user clicks this button.
For all the other slides, you need a separate Conditional Advanced Action to be executed ON Slide Enter to check the value of this CC variable and then SHOW the CC text caption if the variable is set to TRUE.
If you don't have too many slides in your project then this might be OK. But if you have a longish project with dozens of slides, you're going to get to hate this pretty quick.

How to get a field that using variable in order to create a query

Hi,
I found a difficulty when creating a query. so, I would like to ask you some question.
1. How to get a field that using variable which that field I want to put it in my query?
For example, I would like to take quantity field in inventory audit report. And when I put my cursor in
quantity field, there was only variable, item, etc. How to get this and put it in query?
2. How to combined the invoice quantity with inventory audit report quantity?
3. I have a query like this:
SELECT distinct T0.[DocDate] as 'Tanggal', T0.[DocNum] as 'No.Faktur', T1.[ItemCode] as 'Kode Barang',
T1.[Dscription] as 'Deskripsi', T1.[Quantity] as 'Quantity', ((T1.[LineTotal])/(T1.[Quantity])) as 'Harga
Satuan', T1.[LineTotal] as 'Harga Total', T3.[CalcPrice] as 'HPP Satuan', ((T3.[CalcPrice]) * (T1.
[Quantity])) as 'HPP Total', T4.[ItmsGrpNam] as 'Jenis Barang', T5.[SlpName] as 'Nama Sales', T1.
[WhsCode] as 'Kode Gudang' FROM [dbo].[OINV] T0 INNER JOIN [dbo].[INV1] T1 ON T0.DocEntry =
T1.DocEntry INNER JOIN OITM T2 ON T1.ItemCode = T2.ItemCode INNER JOIN OINM T3 ON T2.ItemCode
= T3.ItemCode INNER JOIN OITB T4 ON T2.ItmsGrpCod = T4.ItmsGrpCod INNER JOIN OSLP T5 ON
T0.SlpCode = T5.SlpCode WHERE T3.[TransType] = '13' and T3.[CreatedBy] = T1.[DocEntry] and T0.
[DocDate] >=[%0] and T0.[DocDate] <=[%1] and T4.[ItmsGrpNam] =[%2] and T1.[WhsCode] =[%3]
Is it possible if I just take one invoice with invoice quantity and only show up at once although I have a
lot item cost for that item? (because I'm using FIFOmethod).
Please help me.. cause I'm stuck with this thing :l.
Thank you very much, and I'm waiting your respon soon.

Sisca

Try this one:
SELECT distinct T0.DocDate as 'Tanggal', T0.DocNum as 'No.Faktur', T1.ItemCode as 'Kode Barang',
T1.Dscription as 'Deskripsi', T1.Quantity as 'Quantity', ((T1.LineTotal)/(T1.Quantity)) as 'Harga

Dynamically creating file using variable

HI, i am facing an issue in creating file on run time using variable.
i have a variable FileName. In refresh tab i have written a query like SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYY,MM,DD') || 'TEST' FROM DUAL. i tested the variable and its value is correct.
i have created an interface to extract the data from table and store it in file. i have assigned variable FileName to the file.
Now when i run the interface...the file is created but the header is created in different file and its name is ambiguous e,g(19) and the data is placed in other file with the name which is the value of variable FileName.....
ISSUE is two ODI creates two files one for header only and other for data....
when i run my interface in a package the file created perfectly ..... but i dun want to use package i want to create file through running interface only

one file name is some number like 19.txt and other filename is 20121211_TEST.txt (this name is coming from variable).....
however when i create a package with variable and interface,only one file is created 20121211_TEST.txt (header and data are not created in separate files.)
create header     (ID,
     NAME,
     DEPT)

Help creating a path using variables.

HI
I;m trying to create a path to a movievclip created with
attachMovie. I need tio create the path using variable:
_root.var1.var2.gotoAndPlay("something");
How can I tell flash that var1, var2, etc are variables and
not a relative path?
Tks,

Hello Tks,
depending where the movieclip is that you are trying
communicate with you need to use either other movieclips or you
will need to use _parent.
var gong:MovieClip;
var bong:MovieClip;
var song:MovieClip;
this.attachMovie("gong".....
gong.attachMovie("bong"....
bong.attachMovie("song"...
to access song from the timeline in which all these movie
clips were attached
this.gong.bong.song.variable
from song to the timeline in which all movie clips were
attached
song._parent._parent._parent.variable
Hope this helps..

Error-Receiver File Adapter using Variable substitution when file is empty

XI Experts,
We are on PI 7.0, SP14.
We are using variable subtitution to get the filename from source message. This works fine as long as we have data in the payload for filename element. But we have a scenario where we don't have to create file when certain condition does not exists in source message so in the message payload filename element will not exists in such condition and file will be empty and we should not create file.
Parameter in the communication channel for Handling empty message is "Ignore".
Does anyone knows how to handle this scneario. We don't want to default any file name in the message mapping if source file name element does not exists.
We are following getting error in the Adapter engine.
MP: Exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: file: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: file
Thanks

You can implement this by writing the module to throw an exception or whatever method you want to execute.
If you don't want to receive an error message then module is suitable for you.

Using variables to insert data in the table

I want to insert datas in the table. I use constants,
all the constants are stored properly in the table. But,

Those who know answer please reply.
My thanks in advance.

I would expect your insert statement to be this:
statement1.executeUpdate("insert into cust1 (cno,n,add1,add2,phone,email) values('"+cno1+"','"+n1+"','"+add11+"','"+add21+"','"+phone1+"','"+email1+"')");
If you just create a string, it's not going to fill in variables into the string by magic.

What is the advantage of using IB to create XIBs/Class Objects over coding?

Hi all,
I hoping someone can provide me some pros and cons as to when I should use IB to create XIBs and/or class objects as opposed to directly coding them.
For example, if I choose Apple's Template for creating a Navigation Based Application (cocoa touch), the project creates two NIB files - MainMenu and RootViewController.
However looking at one of demo apps SimpleDrillDown, it does not have a RootViewController XIB and instead creates it via code.
Another example from the same two apps is that the template generates a "Navigation Controller" class object in the Mainmenu.xib. SimpleDrillDown does not bother with this in the XIB, but uses code to generate the controller:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
// Create the navigation and view controllers
RootViewController *rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *aNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
self.navigationController = aNavigationController;
[aNavigationController release];
[rootViewController release];
// Configure and show the window
[window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
as opposed to the template which only needs this:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
// Configure and show the window
// Navigation Controller is defined in MainWindow.xib
[window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
So what are the advantages of each approach. Why does apple suggest one approach and yet all its demos use another.
Any thoughts, answers gratefully received.
TIA, Michael.

You can do whatever you're comfortable with, but most of the best Cocoa programmers--the ones on the Mac, I mean--recommend putting everything you can into Interface Builder.
It's a little like the difference between writing a program to do a bunch of financial calculations and using a spreadsheet. Yeah, the program can do everything the spreadsheet can--and more besides--but you'll find it far easier to create, use and modify the spreadsheet.
Interface Builder takes away a lot of completely meaningless choices ("What order should I create the objects in? How should I name the variables? How should I create their frames? What order should I set the attributes in?"), leaving you with an interface optimized for creating and arranging objects, and allowing your code to focus on what you really do need to think about--your application's logic.
(By the way--part of the reason Apple's demos don't all use Interface Builder is that the very first SDK releases didn't have it. Back then, you had to create all your views programatically. Believe me, I have no wish to go back to setting autoresize masks manually. Now get off my lawn, whippersnapper.)

Environment variables (user) created at OS level dont show up in BIDS 2008

Environment variables (user) created at OS level don't show up in BIDS 2008.
I had a variable ConfigLocation created and it is not showing up when I am trying to configure it in BIDS
Is this a known issue or a bug?
Now in BIDS it doesnt show up
Mudassar

Yes it shows up after restart of BIDS .
But during design time this is a bug I hope Microsoft fixes this bug in the future releases
Mudassar
It's not really a bug. Visual Studio loads the environment variables when starting up.
In future releases you use projects and parameters instead of environment variables, so the issue goes away ;)

How to use variables in data slices?

Hello,
in BI-IP I have tried to use variables in a data slice.
The user should fill these variables.
How can one use and fill these variables?
Thank you
Daniel

Hello Horst,
data slice is a very strong system lock. It is normally not a good decission to allow users to control this part becuse it sould be in administration of a responsible person.
If you allow users in the web to open or close data slices, this is like a "open period" funtion in financials: Think about what could happen, if anyone else than the responsible person could do that....
This is my point of view.
I would do it in anoter way: Create an User exit and fill a variable like desribed above. You read each line and make a decission whether the user might see this line or not (e. g. period open? yes or no?). The period and the status for the period could be maintained in a table or in a characteristic. table might be easier.

Eckhard

How do i filter the records in analytic view by using variable/parameter for a time range

i have a analytic view which has a output column as date type. i want the user who use this view have the control to decided the output records based on a time range (from x to y).
i tried to create 2 variables, 1 for start_time, 1 for end_time. Ideally, i should have a expression for filtering data like this:
$$start_time <= date_column <= $$end_time
However, the variable windows doesn't seem to be feasible for the expression as above.
Does anyone has the same problem and get it solved?
Thanks!

just figured out by my own. So the answer is using "variable" with "range" option.
Making a variable, then set the "selection type" to "range".
When preview the data, the variable input window pops up with operator on default "equal", use dropdown list to swtich it to "between", then you can enter the start_time and end_time as a range filter.

How can I create an ad strip?

I want to create an ad strip at the top of every page of my website (over 300 pages) that can a have a linkable graphic placed in it. I am thinking of something that will take up 100% of the page width and approximately 60 pixels tall that will sit at the very top of the page if I have a promotion running. There are two issues I need to address:
1. I want to have a way to change the graphic and link on all pages simultaneously, in other words, I change the image and link in one place and it automatically changes it on all applicable pages.
2. I want to be able to easily hide it if I don't need it. In other words, if there is no current promotion, the space just disappears and the rest of the page content flows back up to the top of the page.
I sort of managed this by creating a div on every page that was attached to a specific external style sheet. When I needed it I placed a background image in the body of the CSS that contained the info and changed the height of the div to 60 pixels. When I didn't need it I removed the background image and set the height to 0 pixels. That worked pretty well, except I can't put a link in it since it is basically an empty div. I need something that I can place an a href in but still have it apply to hundreds of pages at once. I thought I did something similar several years ago using either templates, or editable regions, or something but I can't seem to do it now. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

1. I want to have a way to change the graphic and link on all pages simultaneously, in other words, I change the image and link in one place and it automatically changes it on all applicable pages.
Set it up as a Server Side Include (SSI).
http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/sitemanagement/includes.html
2. I want to be able to easily hide it if I don't need it. In other words, if there is no current promotion, the space just disappears and the rest of the page content flows back up to the top of the page.
Again, easily done via a Server Side Include. Just upload an empty text file or one which contains just "<div></div>".

For the last 5 years (and in IPCC3.x/4.x,UCCX/5.x/7.x) I've used the same basic subflow to read a XML document that contains holiday dates where the queue should be closed. I've re-used this script on 20+ client installs and it's always worked. The structure of the script allows you to pass the path and filename of the XML document as parameters to the subflow. (The document is in the repository)
I loaded this script in UCCX 8.0.2 recently and it crashed with a Java.IO error. It looked like it was trying to read the file system directly and not the repository. (In the Linux appliance model this kind of makes sense but why is the step trying to read the file system directly?)
So I open a TAC case (SR# 615243125) and TAC tells me that the method of using the Create File Document step is not supported anymore and that I should specify the filename directly in the Create XML Document step
The problem that I see (aside from having to edit all my scripts that use XML files) is that the Create XML Document step is looking for the input to be a type DOCUMENT and not a type STRING. This seems to imply that I have to hardcode the document in each script that I deploy for a customer. When it was a string it was easy to construct the full file path from parameters and pass to the subflow.
Questions to the group
#1 Am I missing something here?
#2 Do you assume that you'll be able to load a script that worked fine in UCCX 7 into UCCX 8 and that it should completely function when you're doing everything according to the step reference documentation.
#3 Cisco didn’t document this in any way that I can find.
#4 How can you use the Create XML Document step in a fashion that would let you construct the path of the file and the filename previously in the script so you could pass it to a subflow ? It would seem this functionality has been killed in UCCX 8

The create XML document input can only be a type DOCUMENT

#1 Am I missing something here?
You are mixing two different issues together here.
The Create File Document step is indeed not needed or supported for creating an XML document. That is why there is a unique step; to trigger XML parsing within the MIVR subsystem.
Accessing the file system is restricted to a single folder within the VOS model (i.e. 8.0+). This folder is not backed up, replicated, or cleaned up automatically. It was intended to give developers some FS access as a temporary swap location only.
#2 Do you assume that you'll be able to load a script that
worked fine in UCCX 7 into UCCX 8 and that it should completely
function when you're doing everything according to the step reference
documentation.
Assume nothing; read the documentation and attend one of the dozens of partner training sessions that CCBU put on advising of the upcoming changes.
#3 Cisco didn’t document this in any way that I can find.
You're right, I guess, on the Create File vs. XML Document step. AFAIK Cisco never wrote a notice into the Step Reference Guide explicitly stating that you cannot use the Create File Document although the documentation seemed pretty clear to me without it. File system restrictions are documented in the 8.0 release notes.
Scripting and Development Series: Volume 2, Editor Step ReferenceUse the Create XML Document step to create a logical document that maps a document to another document variable (where the document has already been pre-parsed as an XML document and is ready to be accessed by the Get XML Document Data step).Use this step before the Get XML Document Data step to obtain data from a document formatted using the Extensible Markup Language (XML).
#4 How can you use the Create XML Document step in a fashion that would
let you construct the path of the file and the filename previously in
the script so you could pass it to a subflow ? It would seem this functionality has been killed in UCCX 8
No it hasn't; just concatinate a string to build the Source Document parameter the step needs. Example: "DOC[" + myFilePath + "]"
