Xml slideshow controls, need help!

Hello,
I am new to actionscript and am trying to make a slideshow
with next and previous controls. The info for the slideshow is
coming via xml. I have it up and running but there are two issues.
When clicking on the next or previous buttons the new image will
load but the first image will be present under the new image. So if
you are navigating from image 2 to 3, while image 3 loads, image 1
is visible. The next problem I am having is I would like for the
slideshow to repeat itself once it gets to the end.

Sorry 2 more things.
In the above link to get to the slideshow, click america,
then new england.
And it appears that on the initial load the first image loads
17 times, which is the total number of images in the slideshow.
Thanks again

Success_URL in web.xml not working - Need help

Hi:
I developed my whole application in Jdeveloper 10.1.3.2 and all the security are done through custom module. Everything is working fine except one of the part that is success_url in web.xml.
1. There are total 10 pages in my application independent of each other.
2. I configured the custom login procedure and it is working fine.
3. From Jdeveloper if I run any page (i.e. one of 10 pages) it is prompting me to login and after login it is redirecting to the page I ran.
My issue is that after the login is completed as in step 3, I want the page to be redirected to predefined page called UserResp.jspx. I don't want to redirect to the page from where the login page was called. As per the notes in the ADF document, I configured the success_url in the adfAuthentication servlet as below. But after login it is not redirecting to the success_url but it is redirecting to the page from where the login was prompted.
Do I need to perform any other step for this success_url to work. Could you please guide.
Below is the details of my web.xml.

Hi All:
Thanks for all your help regarding the adfAuthentication success_url. Now I am able to configure to make this work. But now I am facing another issue i.e. I am getting 401 Not authorized message when the success_url is pointed to the jspx page.
Note: I am using custom login module similar to DBProcOraDataSourceLoginModule so my roles are stored in the custom Role class. So I am not sure how to pass this role info to the security in ADF in order to authorize the page to be viewed.
Could you please help and can you point me to any specific link.
Thanks & Regards

Sound is saying selected device has no input controls need help??(Motu Ultralite mk30

Hey all
I'm having problems with my new Motu. I have uploaded and installed all drivers including new uodate from MOTU direct! My iMac Pro is saying that the selected device has no input controls I have updated my iMac software now running OS X Lion 10.7.2. Have tried going through Firewire, unplugging rebooting everyway!! Also through USB both to no avail. I have sound through output and I can seee levels in the sound (System Preferences) so what am I doing wrong. I'm new to both mac and Logic but great with Cubase need your help....thoughts and any suggestions
Thanks MH

'selected device has no input controls' - this is because it doesn't need them - it's for interfaces which have no hardware level control: it doesn't affect whether it works or not, it's just that there is nothing to adjust.
Presumably the mixer has a main audio output: do you get audio out of this?
If no: then you haven't routed something correctly in the mixer.
If yes:
If you go into System Preferences>Sound, choose 'Input': can you see the mixer in the list?
If no: driver not properly installed
If yes:
Select the mixer as the input (this is for testing, it doesn't affect GB).
If you feed the mic into the mixer and you can hear it on the main audio output, do you see the meter in the Control Panel moving?
If no: the interface between the mixer and the computer needs looking at.
If yes:
In Garageband, check you have the mixer set as the input.
Record something on a track and play it back (having checked that playback of anything else, e.g. a loop. is OK): can you hear it?
If yes: enable monitoring in the track info.
If no: then we need to look more closely at the problem - please report back.

Poor image quality -slideshow iDVD-need help asap

Hello
does anybody know how to create a better quality slideshow???? It sim,ply does look totally unprofessional .. when the dvd is burned.
We have supersharp images .. but once the DVD is burned and you pop it back in the unit .. the images look fuzzy .. and not as crisp as when you actually run them in iPhoto, or iDVD...
this is really urgent .. I'd appreciate if somebody give us a hint ... what to do .. or is there an alternative to created 100% quality slideshows on a dvd.
We need to play the burned DVD's on a computer (to show to clients) as well as on a TV .. in case the client wants to view the DVD at home.
please respond to
[email protected]
Thank you!
I understand that it might look fuzzy on a TV screen .. but why does it look so bad on a computer screen? That is not a good way to present work/images .. please help!

Don't count on FCE or DVD Studio Pro to be better. I think your issue is with MPEG-2 compression.
I build my slideshows within iDVD, not iPhoto or iMovie HD. Here's an example:
Ireland 2004 iDVD Project
Nearly 800 images dragged into iDVD as organized folders from the hard drive. Transitions on each image, and menus, sub-menus, and sub-sub menus. The sub-menus are created by clicking on the Folder icon on the iDVD interface.
Main Menu has 6 buttons: Downpatrick, Antrim Coast, Letterkenny, Sligo, Trim, and Extras. Behind each button are additional buttons ranging from 3 to 6 buttons. The Extras button goes fairly deep. When you click on Extras, it gives you 3 choices on a new menu. The "B&Bs" button opens a new menu with 5 buttons. The "Movies" button opens a new menu with 4 buttons. If you click on the "Irish Music" button, you open a new menu with 2 buttons. At that point, you are at a "sub-sub-sub menu."
Music was on 95% of the slideshows. Some movies converted to QT DV from Canon S400 digicam .AVI files (iDVD 4). Now convert to H.264 with QuickTime 7. Images are original 4MP (2MB) JPEG images from the same digicam. This DVD project is around 4GB with all pictures as DVD-ROM content.

                     <category>Maths</category>
                     </categories>
           <link>50001.xml</link>
      <name>UNSW</name>

                     <category>Maths</category>
                     </categories>
           <link>50102.xml</link>
</UNI>For now i am reading an xml containg the following xml code.
BufferedReader is = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(f));
                    String inputLine;
                    while ((inputLine = is.readLine()) != null)
                    out.println(inputLine);
                    out.println();
                    is.close();          } but when i read the file i read the whole file.
instead i want to know how i can read and output on certain aspects of the file.
eg i would like to only output the words UTS and UNSW
or only the categories for UTS i.e English and Maths
i was hoping someone knows how to do this..
PLEASE help its very important
thankyou

You can use Parsing API of Java.
You can use DOM (Document Object Model) Parser for the same.
So that you will get node name like <name> and also its value as UTS.
You can refer this link to use DOM.
http://www.developer.com/java/other/article.php/3292751
or you can follow following steps
1. Get instance of DocumentBuilderFactory as
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(false);
factory.setNamespaceAware(false);
2. Use DocumentBuilder as
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
3. Then Parse the file as
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document dom = parser.parse(file);
4. Using element class u can get root & usingNameNodeMap you can get attributes for root follows
Element root = dom.getDocumentElement();
NamedNodeMap attrib = root.getAttributes();
5. Get and process children of the current node
NodeList children = node.getChildNodes()
Here u can write recurssive function named traverseTree(Node node)
Firstly, u'll pass root node as a parameter to this function
6. Get childrens of cuurent node
NodeList children = node.getChildNodes();
7. Iterate this 'children' node.
for each child do the following
Node child = children.item(c);
if(child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE)
NamedNodeMap attrib = child.getAttributes(); // using this , u can have Node name & Node value. Here you can get UTS & UTWS as node value for node <name>
traverseTree(child ) // if child is ellement node again traverse the child

XML: Displaying & Storing - Need help

Welcome all,
Have the following problem:
Have an application (no gui) that sends periodically xml messages to a Servlet. This servlet acknowledges the application messages has been recieved.
Now the problems begin:
1) The xml messages need to be added to a database. (I have never stored xml in a database before). When it is received by the servlet it is in DOM document format. Do I store this in the databse as a BLOB?
2) A client interface, preferably web-based needs to be notified that new messages have arrived and then request to view them. It should be able to display the xml messages using xsl.
I need advice about those two points.
With respect to the second one I do not see how I can create a Java based client that can display XML, as far as I was aware JEditorPane supported only HTML.
Thanks in advance
Thee olde wizarde
p.s (Shame I can't conjure up the solution)

How about storing XML as text. Then, parse it whenever you retrieve it from the database.
As displaying XML, you can easily create a tree that display the XML using SAX (there's a tutorial on this).
Often, I don't see a good reason to display XML to users directly. Usually, you display some UI that that has the data stored in XML. However, your case can be different.
There could be other methods that are much better than the one I suggested.

Developing XML-driven map - need help with function.

Hey all,
I've created a map that loads a bunch of locations, saved
with labels and X&Y coordinates which is all stored in an XML
File. The list is populated into a list component, where a user can
click an item and see the map zoom over to the corresponding
location. This part works fine.
What I'm trying to do now is make it so when you click a
location on the map, it has the same behavior as if you clicked the
same item location in the list. Problem is, I can't figure out to
write that function, so I figured 1000 brains are better than one.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks, I appreciate it...It's gotta be something simple I'm
missing.

Also, I'm calling an xml file with locations, coordinates,
labels, etc.... That looks like this:
<item>
<building>Academic Computing Center</building>
<mapnumber>1</mapnumber>
<xposition>-560</xposition>
<yposition>-638</yposition>
<mapscale>3</mapscale>
<labelx>516</labelx>
<labely>93</labely>

Need help with Berkeley XML DB Performance

We need help with maximizing performance of our use of Berkeley XML DB. I am filling most of the 29 part question as listed by Oracle's BDB team.
Berkeley DB XML Performance Questionnaire
1. Describe the Performance area that you are measuring? What is the
current performance? What are your performance goals you hope to
achieve?
We are measuring the performance while loading a document during
web application startup. It is currently taking 10-12 seconds when
only one user is on the system. We are trying to do some testing to
get the load time when several users are on the system.
We would like the load time to be 5 seconds or less.
2. What Berkeley DB XML Version? Any optional configuration flags
specified? Are you running with any special patches? Please specify?
dbxml 2.4.13. No special patches.
3. What Berkeley DB Version? Any optional configuration flags
specified? Are you running with any special patches? Please Specify.
bdb 4.6.21. No special patches.
4. Processor name, speed and chipset?
Intel Xeon CPU 5150 2.66GHz
5. Operating System and Version?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Relase 4 Update 6
6. Disk Drive Type and speed?
Don't have that information
7. File System Type? (such as EXT2, NTFS, Reiser)
EXT3
8. Physical Memory Available?
4GB
9. Are you using Replication (HA) with Berkeley DB XML? If so, please
describe the network you are using, and the number of Replica’s.
No
10. Are you using a Remote Filesystem (NFS) ? If so, for which
Berkeley DB XML/DB files?
No
11. What type of mutexes do you have configured? Did you specify
–with-mutex=? Specify what you find inn your config.log, search
for db_cv_mutex?
None. Did not specify -with-mutex during bdb compilation
12. Which API are you using (C++, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, other) ?
Which compiler and version?
Java 1.5
13. If you are using an Application Server or Web Server, please
provide the name and version?
Oracle Appication Server 10.1.3.4.0
14. Please provide your exact Environment Configuration Flags (include
anything specified in you DB_CONFIG file)
Default.
15. Please provide your Container Configuration Flags?
final EnvironmentConfig envConf = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConf.setAllowCreate(true); // If the environment does not
// exist, create it.
envConf.setInitializeCache(true); // Turn on the shared memory
// region.
envConf.setInitializeLocking(true); // Turn on the locking subsystem.
envConf.setInitializeLogging(true); // Turn on the logging subsystem.
envConf.setTransactional(true); // Turn on the transactional
// subsystem.
envConf.setLockDetectMode(LockDetectMode.MINWRITE);
envConf.setThreaded(true);
envConf.setErrorStream(System.err);
envConf.setCacheSize(1024*1024*64);
envConf.setMaxLockers(2000);
envConf.setMaxLocks(2000);
envConf.setMaxLockObjects(2000);
envConf.setTxnMaxActive(200);
envConf.setTxnWriteNoSync(true);
envConf.setMaxMutexes(40000);
16. How many XML Containers do you have? For each one please specify:
One.
1. The Container Configuration Flags
          XmlContainerConfig xmlContainerConfig = new XmlContainerConfig();
          xmlContainerConfig.setTransactional(true);
xmlContainerConfig.setIndexNodes(true);
xmlContainerConfig.setReadUncommitted(true);
2. How many documents?
Everytime the user logs in, the current xml document is loaded from
a oracle database table and put it in the Berkeley XML DB.
The documents get deleted from XML DB when the Oracle application
server container is stopped.
The number of documents should start with zero initially and it
will grow with every login.
3. What type (node or wholedoc)?
Node
4. Please indicate the minimum, maximum and average size of
documents?
The minimum is about 2MB and the maximum could 20MB. The average
mostly about 5MB.
5. Are you using document data? If so please describe how?
We are using document data only to save changes made
to the application data in a web application. The final save goes
to the relational database. Berkeley XML DB is just used to store
temporary data since going to the relational database for each change
will cause severe performance issues.
17. Please describe the shape of one of your typical documents? Please
do this by sending us a skeleton XML document.
Due to the sensitive nature of the data, I can provide XML schema instead.
18. What is the rate of document insertion/update required or
expected? Are you doing partial node updates (via XmlModify) or
replacing the document?
The document is inserted during user login. Any change made to the application
data grid or other data components gets saved in Berkeley DB. We also have
an automatic save every two minutes. The final save from the application
gets saved in a relational database.
19. What is the query rate required/expected?
Users will not be entering data rapidly. There will be lot of think time
before the users enter/modify data in the web application. This is a pilot
project but when we go live with this application, we will expect 25 users
at the same time.
20. XQuery -- supply some sample queries
1. Please provide the Query Plan
2. Are you using DBXML_INDEX_NODES?
Yes.
3. Display the indices you have defined for the specific query.
     XmlIndexSpecification spec = container.getIndexSpecification();
     // ids
     spec.addIndex("", "id", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     spec.addIndex("", "idref", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // index to cover AttributeValue/Description
     spec.addIndex("", "Description", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_SUBSTRING, XmlValue.STRING);
     // cover AttributeValue/@value
     spec.addIndex("", "value", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // item attribute values
     spec.addIndex("", "type", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // default index
     spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // save the spec to the container
     XmlUpdateContext uc = xmlManager.createUpdateContext();
     container.setIndexSpecification(spec, uc);
4. If this is a large query, please consider sending a smaller
query (and query plan) that demonstrates the problem.
21. Are you running with Transactions? If so please provide any
transactions flags you specify with any API calls.
Yes. READ_UNCOMMITED in some and READ_COMMITTED in other transactions.
22. If your application is transactional, are your log files stored on
the same disk as your containers/databases?
Yes.
23. Do you use AUTO_COMMIT?
     No.
24. Please list any non-transactional operations performed?
No.
25. How many threads of control are running? How many threads in read
only mode? How many threads are updating?
We use Berkeley XML DB within the context of a struts web application.
Each user logged into the web application will be running a bdb transactoin
within the context of a struts action thread.
26. Please include a paragraph describing the performance measurements
you have made. Please specifically list any Berkeley DB operations
where the performance is currently insufficient.
We are clocking 10-12 seconds of loading a document from dbd when
five users are on the system.
getContainer().getDocument(documentName);
27. What performance level do you hope to achieve?
We would like to get less than 5 seconds when 25 users are on the system.
28. Please send us the output of the following db_stat utility commands
after your application has been running under "normal" load for some
period of time:
% db_stat -h database environment -c
% db_stat -h database environment -l
% db_stat -h database environment -m
% db_stat -h database environment -r
% db_stat -h database environment -t
(These commands require the db_stat utility access a shared database
environment. If your application has a private environment, please
remove the DB_PRIVATE flag used when the environment is created, so
you can obtain these measurements. If removing the DB_PRIVATE flag
is not possible, let us know and we can discuss alternatives with
you.)
If your application has periods of "good" and "bad" performance,
please run the above list of commands several times, during both
good and bad periods, and additionally specify the -Z flags (so
the output of each command isn't cumulative).
When possible, please run basic system performance reporting tools
during the time you are measuring the application's performance.
For example, on UNIX systems, the vmstat and iostat utilities are
good choices.
Will give this information soon.
29. Are there any other significant applications running on this
system? Are you using Berkeley DB outside of Berkeley DB XML?
Please describe the application?
No to the first two questions.
The web application is an online review of test questions. The users
login and then review the items one by one. The relational database
holds the data in xml. During application load, the application
retrieves the xml and then saves it to bdb. While the user
is making changes to the data in the application, it writes those
changes to bdb. Finally when the user hits the SAVE button, the data
gets saved to the relational database. We also have an automatic save
every two minues, which saves bdb xml data and saves it to relational
database.
Thanks,
Madhav

Could it be that you simply do not have set up indexes to support your query? If so, you could do some basic testing using the dbxml shell:
milu@colinux:~/xpg > dbxml -h ~/dbenv
Joined existing environment
dbxml> setverbose 7 2
dbxml> open tv.dbxml
dbxml> listIndexes
dbxml> query     { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }
dbxml> queryplan { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }Verbosity will make the engine display some (rather cryptic) information on index usage. I can't remember where the output is explained; my feeling is that "V(...)" means the index is being used (which is good), but that observation may not be accurate. Note that some details in the setVerbose command could differ, as I'm using 2.4.16 while you're using 2.4.13.
Also, take a look at the query plan. You can post it here and some people will be able to diagnose it.

Need help on how to a user can control a video clip using their mouse

I need help. I've got a video clip of a rotating 3D

control the rotation of the object using their mouse. I've looked
everywhere and i'm at a lost. Can anyone help me
Here is a link to what i'm trying to achieve:

Here are the instructions...
Update firmware with DOS CD
To boot from CD you have to hold down the option key (<alt>) during startup. A HDD icon and a CD should appear on the gray screen. The HDD has the volume name written below and the CD is named Windows. Select the CD and boot to DOS.
Hit <ESC> to skip the README.TXT
Use PG UP/DOWN keys on an external keyboard to scroll through the readme, using arrow keys may lock DOS.
SeaFlash offers some options you should explore before performing the update. If you just want to do it ASAP then hit <D>.
Hit <L> to list compatible drives and FW version. (Column New FW version should state SD24, hit <ESC> to go back to main menu.)
Hit to scan your drive(s). (Shows your model and FW, <ESC> for main menu)
Finally hit <D> to update your Momentus XT to SD24. (takes about 15s to update)
Power off your Mac.
-- Although it did made sense to what you are saying to just follow Seagate's instructions. But they only had instructions outside the realm of MS Windows is to burn it on a disk and run a cold boot to the disk drive. Otherwise if Seagate did provide detail instruction on how to install this then can you provide me a link?
Thanks again....

Just use the plain linear fit!
(If you are discussing something you found in the forum, you should always include a link so we can see what you area talking about. What you probably found was a workaround that forces an intercept of zero for a special scenario. If you want to use general linear fit anyway, your matrix simply also needs a constant term)
If you still have problems, show us your code and some data.
