What's the correct syntax for this?

Hey guys
If...
trace(rowsHolder.getChildByName("mc"+newStr).y);
...correctly outputs the y coordinate of (in this case) mc001, how do I output the y coordinate of a movieClip called item_base_mc that's within the timeline of mc001?
trace(rowsHolder.getChildByName("mc"+newStr).item_base_mc.y);
...gives me a display object error.
I've tried permutations of the above with [] brackets in various places, but haven't cracked the code.
What would be the correct way to write it?
Thanks for taking a look.
Shaun

I don't know how to really explain this, but from documentation you will notice - getChildByName() - is actually a function from - DisplayObject - not MovieClip.
Link here provides a better explanation!

Can't figure out the correct syntax for this select statement

Hello,
The following statement works great and gives the desired results:

Hi, John,
Not that you asked, but as you proabably know, analytic functions are much better at doing this kind of thing.
You may be amazed (as I continually am) by how simple and efficient these queries can be.
For example:
WITH     got_grp          AS
     SELECT     proj_id, proj_start, proj_end
     ,     proj_end - SUM (proj_end - proj_start) OVER (ORDER BY proj_start)     AS grp
     FROM     v
SELECT       ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY grp)     AS proj_grp
,       MIN (proj_start)                         AS proj_start
,       MAX (proj_end)               AS proj_end
FROM       got_grp
GROUP BY grp
ORDER BY proj_start
;Produces the results you want:
PROJ_GRP PROJ_START PROJ_END
         1 01-Jan-2005 05-Jan-2005
         2 06-Jan-2005 07-Jan-2005
         3 16-Jan-2005 20-Jan-2005
         4 21-Jan-2005 22-Jan-2005
         5 26-Jan-2005 30-Jan-2005This is problem is an example of Neighbor-Defined Groups . You want to GROUP BY something that has 5 distinct values, to get the 5 rows above, but there's nothing in the table itself that tells you to which group each row belongs. The groups are not defined by any column in hte table, but by relationships between rows. In this case, a row is in the same group as its neighbor (the row immediatly before or after it when sorted by proj_start or proj_end) if proj_end of the earlier row is the same as proj_start of the later row. That is, there is nothing about 03-Jan-2005 that says the row with proj_id=2 is in the first group, or even that it is in the same group with its neighbor, the row with proj_id=3. Only the relation between those rows, the fact that the earlier row has end_date=03-Jan-2005 and the later row has start_date=03-Jan-2003, that says these neighbors belong to the same group.
You're figuring out when a new group starts, and then counting how many groups have already started to see to which group each row belongs. That's a prefectly natural procedural way of approaching the problem. But SQL is not a procedural language, and sometimes another approach is much more efficient. In this case, as in many others, a Constant Difference defines the groups. The difference between proj_end (or proj_start, it doesn't matter in this case) and the total duratiojn of the rows up to that date determines a group. The actual value of that difference means nothing to you or anybody else, so I used ROW_NUMBER in the query above to map those distinct values into consecutive integers 1, 2, 3, ... which are a much simpler way to identify the groups.
Note that the query above only requires one pass through the table, and only requires one sub-query. It does not need a WITH clause; you could easily make got_grp an in-line view.
If you used analytic functions (LEAD or LAG) to compute flag, and then to compute proj_grp (COUNT or SUM), you would need two sub-queries, one for each analytic function, but you would still only need one pass through the table. Also, those sub-queries could be in-line views; yiou would not need to use a WITH clause.

What is the correct syntax for using a variable in an ad hoc query?

Hi all
I am an occasional DB user and at the moment need to update about 1000+ records so that a certain column gets a unique value.
So I thought that I would use a variable for this.
I then built this kind of SQL statement for just a small subset of the records:
variable recNumber number;
exec :recNumber := 1;
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + recNumber
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
I get the invalid SQL statement error when attempting to execute above (besides the prompt that asks for a value which I would like to omit).
Anyway I also tried this one:
CREATE SEQUENCE seqCounter;
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + seqCounter.NEXTVAL
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
From this one I got the error ORA-01722: invalid number...I am guessing this comes because seqCounter is of type number and the COL_TO_BE_UPD is of type character...(?)
So what I would like to ask is what is the correct way to define and use a counter type of variable to append a number at the end of a character string?
Also another question that I would like to ask is that are variables that are used in ad hoc queries also called 'bind variables'?
Thanks muchly

If you want to append a unique number to a column then this would do it:
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD ||to_char(rownum)
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');

What is the Correct Component For This?

I'm lost as to what component to use for navigation within my application. Across the top of my app I want something which horizontally displays a list of categories which the user can click to select. This is fine if I use a tilelist but I also want to allow my client to add and remove categories and for the width of the component to adjust so that new categories fit in but it seems impossible to apply <fit to content> to a tilelist the way you can to a hbox which obviously means scrollbars will appear and if you switch the scroll policy off this simply means any added categories won't be visible if they are past the set width. It seems that anything with the selecteditem property (which is what I need for my app) operates on set width's.
If a hbox had a selecteditem property that would be perfect. Is there any such way of getting a component to work like this?

That sounds great and I am starting to see a lot of flex 4 solutions to problems theses days although 3.5 still seems to be the norm. One thing I'm confused about is this - I'm still a web dev student until june. When I started my course I uploaded a scanned image of my uni id card and got a flex 3.5 serial key and was able to use it and install it for free. I assume that I will do the same to get this new version but 1. Will this invalidate my previous key and disallow me to use the version I have installed now (maybe I'm being paranoid) and 2. Will I be able to use the one I've installed currently or, if I get the new version, use that forever and install them as many times as I like even AFTER my current degree is finished? Basically I'm unsure as to how it works.
One thing I've been worrying about is what if my course finishes and I get a job which involves me working from home on websites and all of a sudden flex deactivates from my machine because I've finished my course but again maybe I'm just being paranoid and once you have a key you can use it for good. I have to say that is crazy generous of adobe if that's the case and if so I might aswell get a key for the new version before I'm out of education.
What do you think?

What's the correct syntax for animate scale

I have tried to animate the scale transformation of an object from code.
I had a little success with the code from here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5029035/how-do-we-add-css-animation-in-jquery
But animating the scale looks jerky on the iPad with this hack.
There must be an option of doing it from within Edge since a timeline animation which does the same (just transform scale of an object over time) runs smooth.
I know there are jQuery extensions for things like that but I don't want to interfere with anything Edge does itself.
Can someone give me a hint what syntax I need for animating the scale of an object within Edge?

Hi Bittamer,
There is no built-in code to animate objects. If you don't want to use the CSS scale code, you can use jQuery animate to animate the width and height props of your object, like so:
sym.yourHeight = 500;
sym.yourWidth = 500;
sym.$("your_symbol").animate({height:sym.yourHeight, width:sym.yourWidth}, 500, 'swing');

What is the correct syntax for Sumif when condition is for a text string?

B2 and b3 both contain the text "Grc".
C2 contains 1 and C3 contains 2.
F2 contains a Sumif that reads as: =SUMIF(B2:B10, "=Grc", C2:C10)
The result is "0" when it should yield 3
I can't figure out what happened.

What is the correct syntax for referencing a page item (P23_ID, for example) in a PL/SQL page process, after submit?
See "About Referencing Session State" in the documentation.
Within an anonymous block in an APEX page process, use the standard bind variable syntax:
:P23_ID
In general, use bind variable syntax when referencing session state values in SQL or DML:
select
    ename
into
    :p23_name
from
    emp
where
    empno = to_number(:p23_id);
and obviously when assigning values to the item:
:P23_ID := foo.nextval;
PL/SQL function references v('p23_id') and nv('p23_id') [for number values] must be used to access values in stored program units called from APEX, although it's usually better to pass the values as parameters: foo(:p23_id).

The correct syntax for a recursive chmod command in Terminal

I need to set recursive permissions on an external HDD to '777' or 'all read&write'.
I have tried all of the following commands in Terminal:
sudo chmod 777 -r /Volumes/...
sudo chmod -r 777 /Volumes/...
sudo chmod a+rw -r /Volumes/...
sudo chmod -r a+rw /Volumes/...
...all of which being back a 'no such file or directory' error, e.g.
sudo chmod 777 -r /Volumes/232Gb
chmod: -r: No such file or directory
Can anyone confirm the correct syntax for this command?
Thanks in advance...
Message was edited by: ChippyDeluxe

If there were a solution that didn't involve using Terminal, I would prefer that.
The reason I ask is, since my old iMac died and I connected my iMac's external HDD to my MacBook, thousands of folders on my external HDD have 'stop signs' on them and require me to go to
Get Info -> Sharing & Permissions
...and add my MacBook username and set the privilege as "read and write". A bigger problem is, no backup software I've tried will back up this external HDD onto another external HDD any more, so I no longer have an up-to-date backup, which is very worrying.
I am looking for a way of fixing this, and the chmod command appears to be the answer.
Ideally, I don't want any permission restrictions on my external HDD at all, so I can connect it to any machine without problems.

no, just update your content and recreate the Single Edition App. Your certificate should still be valid so there is not need to recreate these.
... your App ID absolutely need to be the exact same one you used for the first version if you want to make sure this is an update.

Hi Ashok,
this is easy to do.
Open Two SAP Screen with same user ID.
Run SQL trace using ST05 transaction.Open ST05 transaction in One and make
Trace on ,Run the report in another screen.
Once report run is over.End the trace process and click on display trace in same ST05 transaction.There is a click button on ST05 Transaction screen to start trace
process,End trace process and Display track process.
The SQL trace will give you all the table details which is used in that particular report.
You have not mentioned about the report name so I have suggested this way.

WhatÃÂ¢ÃÂÃÂs the best practice for this scenario?

Hi,
My users want the ability to change the WHERE and/or ORDER BY clause at runtime. They may define user preferences on each screen ( which is bind to a view object). They want to see the same records based on WHERE/ORDER BY defined on the last visit. That is why I keep the users preferences and load the screen based on that, using :
View.setWhereClause(...);
View.setOrderByClause(...);
View.executeQuery();
This works good when only one user working with the application but faced low performance when more than one user working with the application.
What are the points to increase the performance and what is the best practice for this scenario?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Sung,
I am talking only about 2 users in my testing. I am sure i missed something but could not recognize that.
This page is my custom query page including a tag to instantiate app module in stateful mode at the top <jbo:ApplicationModule..> and a tag to instantiate data source <jbo:Datasource...> and release tag at the bottom <jbo:ReleasePageResources..> and some java code in the middle(body). The java code constructed the query statement and then fires the query to set the view object based on the query statement using the above methods.
So, I am facing very slow performance(speed) when two clients load this page at the same time. Looks like the entire application locks for others when one client load this page and fire the query. i realized the battle neck is where executeQuery() is executing.
what do you think.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Hi,
You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
- the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
- the value set values and description
Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do...
