Problem of the scope of variables

• Problems with the scope of variables or reference (AS2)

  Hello!
  
  The code simple below maps onRelease functions to 8 buttons.
  The goal is to load the image into a single central imagePanel whenever a button is clicked.
  
  There are 8 instances of the same MC on the stage (called g0 to g7), each containing a button (btnShow)
  
  The function 'downloadImage()' load the image when the onRelease event is triggered.
  Each image file path is taken from the _global.paintings Array (the url property).
  
  The problem:
  It looks like this, during the transfer, a link for the "removal" of the 'I' variable, instead of its VALUE.
  So, at runtime, the 'I' is equal to 8 (value at the end of the loop for EACH function of downloadImage), instead of the value incremented (0 to 7)...
  
  Leading to each button of the same image, rather than the corresponding image loading (end of the url in _global.paintings property [0] to [7])
  
  Well, not easy to explain properly, I hope you understand what I mean...
  
  Thank you very much for your help, I am quite lost here!
  See you soon

  Try this:

  function formatGal() {}

  for (var i: Number = 0; i<8; i++)="">
  . _root ["g" + i] btnShow.myIndex = i;
  _root ["g" + i].btnShow.onRelease = function() {}
  downloadImage (_global.paintings [this.myIndex] .url);
  trace (this.myIndex);
  }

• The strangeness of the scope of variables?

  I'm having a problem with a script component, and I think it might be a bug.  I reproduced the problem with this simplified version:

  If {(true)
  int Packers = 1;
  {
  Packers = 5;
  patExecContext.setProcessDataIntValue ("/ process_data/@nTest", Packers);
  }
  }

  I think that my variable Packers of process should be out in the 5, but I get 1. The same problem occurs with ropes.

  Can someone reproduce cela and let me know if I'm losing my mind here?  Thank you.

  Jared

  Hi Jared,

  I can reproduce the behavior so that your mind is ok.

  The custom Script is a BeanShell implementation and on the top of my head I don't know what version of BeanShell is. Apparently the scope has changed in BeanShell (see http://www.beanshell.org/manual/syntax.html).

  This works...

  Boolean test = true;

  Packers int;

  If {(test)

  Packers = 1;

  {

  Packers = 5;

  patExecContext.setProcessDataIntValue ("/ process_data/@nTest", Packers);

  }

  }

• Problem with the Table result variable

  When you save a document structured in XML, the Table Continuation variable is translated to an entity named "fm.tcont".

  Strangely, the content of the entity is a control character (0 x 11). The file is saved in XML format, but the Analyzer Returns an error,

  Error message to the file d:\test\100219\doc_test.xml.1F0, line 31, char 22,: Invalid character (Unicode: 0 x 11)
  Error on line 31, tank 24, Message: expected a value of literal entity or PUBLIC/SYSTEM identifier
  Parse error on line 31, tank 20: not well formed (invalid token)
  The abandoned analysis.

  The contents of the variable nothing suspicious, it's just '(continued)', where the first character is a normal space.

  If someone had the same problem and knows how to fix?

  It's on FM8.0p277 on Windows XP.

  Thank you very much in advance,

  Johannes

  Johannes,

  I don't have the direct response, because I've never tried. But my EDD has a TableContinuation element that is empty; ESD inserts the table continuation variable. When you export to XML, the element is there as a "marker"; It has NO content. When open in the frame, ESD inserts the variable again. My reasoning is that the table continuation variable has meaning ONLY within FrameMaker. It's a formatting object, not a content container. No post processing of the XML data would not need if so, ITS engine could provide what it is able to understand.

  Anyway, here's how I deal with it.

  Good luck

• problems with the link Date variable

  I am using a Date as a variable binding in a display object, and I'm running into difficulty. I have the binding variable type defined to date and the control flags for the Type of Format and Format defined respectively on 'Date of Simple' and 'yyyy-MM-dd ". When I run the application test module and enter the date in the correct format, the View object returns the expected results. However, when I try to set a property to bind the query for a group of JHeadstart parameters in my definition of the application in order to highlight the variable to an input dateField control bind, I get the following exception:

  However, it seems that the value of the parameter link has actually changed, according to the message issued by the procedure JhsApplicationModuleImpl.applyBindParams (...) debugging:
  
  30 - Jan 08:46:23 DEBUG (JhsApplicationModuleImpl) - ViewObject ViewObj: bind move_date param value has changed: old value = null, new value = Wed Jan 07 00:00:00 CST 2009
  
  
  
  One thing I noticed that may be of interest - if I run the debugger in the procedure JhsApplicationModuleImpl.applyBindParams (...), a default date in my link variable arises as an object of oracle.jbo.domain.Date when it comes out of the next line:
  
  Object oldValue = vo.ensureVariableManager () .getVariableValue (key);
  
  as opposed to the new value that is sent from the input value of the dateField control, which presents itself as a java.util.Date in the following line:
  
  Object value = args.get (key);
  
  
  
  In the chain of functions leading to the following in the stack trace:
  
  at java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:104)
  at oracle.jbo.domain.Date.toDate(Date.java:348)
  to oracle.jbo.domain.Date. < init > (Date.java:279)
  
  It seems that the value of the java.util.Date is converted to a string and then passed to these functions to be turned into a java.sql.Date object. However, depending on the function of java.sql.Date.valueOf (...), it is expected date format "yyyy-mm-dd", by the header comments:
  /**
  Converts the date a string in JDBC escape format to
  * a Date < code > < code > value.
  *
  s @param a String < code > < code > object representing a date in
  * in format "yyyy-mm-dd".
  * @return a java.sql.Date < code > < code > object representing the
  * date
  * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the specified date is not in the
  * Exhaust JDBC date (yyyy-mm-dd) format
  */
  
  When the input value of the entered dateField control is added as a java.util.Date, the toString() is produce the incorrect date format, that could be seen in the debug output I've included above that says that the binding variable has changed.
  
  
  
  Anyone done this before that can has let me know what Miss me and how to fix it? I have search everywhere on the web, and all the articles I've seen related to bind variables only refer to those of the digital types or string, that are not giving me problems. Same article of "5.9 Using Bind Variables Named" Developer's Guide (http://database.in2p3.fr/doc/oracle/Oracle_Application_Server_10_Release_3/web.1013/b25947/bcquerying009.htm) do not reference using a Date type.

  I had the same problem on a year (using JHeadstart 10.1.3.2.52):

  15 Feb 14:10:31 DEBUG (JhsApplicationModuleImpl) - research component corresponds to the bind param query SubjectenKernPeildatum, value set for 2000-01-01

  It appears a java.util.Date is put on the map criteria in the searchBean, this cannot be used as input for a Houston. Bindvariable date.

  My ugly solution was to substitute ' public void applyBindParams (String voUsage, HashMap args)
  in MyProjectApplicationModuleImp (which extends from JhsApplicationModuleImpl of course).
  Check if the value is a java.util.Date, then
  value = new java.sql.Date (((java.util.Date) value) .getTime ());

• question about the scope of variables and memory

  I searched the Adobe documentation for an overview, but apparently, I'm not in the right place.

  Here is an example of simplified code:

  < AS >

  loadedImages:Array = new Array();

  function createImageData(imageNumber:Number):void
  {
  var imageData:BitmapData = new BitmapData (width, height);
  
  Switch (imageNumber)
  {
  case 1:
  imageData.draw (loader1.content);
  loadedImages [imageNumber] = imageData;
  break;
  
  case 2:
  imageData.draw (loader2.content);
  loadedImages [imageNumber] = imageData;
  break;
  }
  }

  < virtue >

  ImageData defined inside the function createImageData(), I know that I can not access any outside level of the function block.  But what about memory?  ImageData still exist once the code has "left" the createImageData() function?

  For example, if the function above is called twice (once with imageNumber = 1, once with imageNumber = 2), what I remember?

  -BitmapData objects stored in loadedImages [1] and loadedImages [2] and 1 BitmapData object named imageData

  -BitmapData objects stored in loadedImages [1] and loadedImages [2] and 2 BitmapData named imageData objects

  -BitmapData objects stored in loadedImages [1] and loadedImages [2] and nothing else

  Is there a way to see the 'elements' in memory, not just the quantity?

  If you call twice createImageData, for imageNumber = 1 and imageNumber = 2, there will be only 2 persistent objects to the Bitmap in memory, and they will be made by the loadedImages table. The imageData variable is just the first to receive the pointer to the allocated memory and past him on the elements of the array until it's life is over. Only when you delete the table, you will release the objects for the GC.

• Legacy, causing loss of the scope of variables?

  Hi all
  
  I am working on a class right now, "Block" that has several private variables (call)
  _Color,
  _x,
  FLF,
  _parent...
  
  I have a second class (BlockGenerator range block). In the constructor for BlockGenerator, I call the block using super (parent, x, y) and then I put some of the reactive power inherited from the block class. I'm trying to compile in strict mode, but it is causing the following error message:
  
  1119: access of the property possibly _color not defined through a reference with static type src.game:BlockGenerator.
  
  the error is reported on the following line in the BlockGenerator constructor:
  This ._color = new BlockColor (BlockColor.PLACE_HOLDER);
  
  I've attached some more sample code. Please let me know if anyone has an insight as to why my class BlockGenerator cannot see inside vars inherited from the Block class.

• Problems with the use of variables at the time of the SV - Loudness.vi

  Hello

  I'm rather new to Labview and will have questions, get my Time-Varying Loudness calcuations out correctly. Attached is my current VI and a .csv file of my data set (calibrated in PA. sampling frequency = 50 kHz for 5 seconds). It does not produce what I expected when I run the VI. Here are my questions:

  Time-Varying Loudness:

  (1) what are the signals so much? There are hundreds of lines, but I only expect one.

  (2) why my category axis are not a range from 1 to 24 years as bark should be?

  1/3 octave Band Analsysis:

  (1) why is it incorrect? Them should not be a linear increase the frequency...

  Data on the one hand be hurry and make a squeek. It is a transient noise that happens about 2 seconds. But, how could I go do a waterfall (Time (s), Frequency (Hz), Amplidtude (sones)) of this signal? Is there an easy way? or do I have to do all three signals and add to make a parcel?

  Thank you very much for your help! Let me know if you need more infromation,

  -Troy

  p.s. I have included a picture of the results as well.

  Hi Troy,

  (1) the SV specific volume VI 'chunks' given in blocks of 2 ms and returns then these as individual plots specific Loudness vs. Sone.  The colored lines that you see in your chart are representative of the 2 500 2 periods of time ms in your acquisition of five seconds.  Each of these plots contains 241 points, however they are ten sample "gradually", one for each sone.  The digital filter buffer takes a bit to fill and kick in properly, however, so you can give your first rows (0-. 02 seconds or more) scrutiny before using them - you can see a number of unexpected zeros around the lower sones.

  2) since you use a chart, the x-axis will be increments every race following (the previous data is stored.)  If you only want to display the most recent data, I would recommend switching to a chart, which is found in the chart controls palette.  Also, see above (#1) why the x axis are longer than 24 points.

  (3) remember that dB is a unitless measure and cannot be used in reference to another value. A typical reference for sound is 20 uPa, but you will probably need even out your data entry and determine/set dB reference.  You can take a look at the voltage from the snout to the Cloaca EU.vi scale (EU means equalized units) and from the snout to the Cloaca Set dB reference.vi.  In your case, I think the plot of Octave shows your dB from a default value of 1.  The values should be accurate with respect to the other, but you must provide a reference value to calibrate the scale.

  (4) I think that this VI is a good example how to do to create a cascade:

  Display cascading for Octave (DAQmx)

  http://zone.NI.com/DevZone/CDA/EPD/p/ID/5562

  You will need to break up of your waveform into pieces, just like the specific volume VI, but the basic concept is roughly the same (take piece of waveform, take octave measure of the piece, add octave output measure cluster to cluster table, repeat for the rest of the waveform display)

  Phew!  It was a bit of information.  Let me know if this makes sense and don't be intimidated by the detail and/or unknown functions or methods - you're definitely on the right track, or to ask it to at least the right questions.

  Make sure you that you enabled "check that file exists" in the IIS mapping.
  If that doesn't cut, find the web.xml file and comment out the research

• question of the scope of variables

  Hi guys,.
  
  Select book_key
  books
  where exists (select book_key from the sale)
  
  If we have the above query, it means that the book_key in sales is independent of the book_key in the books? As far as I see it, all what we are doing is saying that if a book_key exists in the table sales, then we want to return the books book_key. In other words, the book_key of books doesn't have to exist in sales.
  
  It seems completely different from
  
  Select book_key
  books
  where book_key in (select book_key from the sale)
  
  because in this case, we want to only return the books book_key, if it exists also in sales.
  
  Am I wrong?

  You're right, except that it is saying "If * a * line exists in the sales table": book_key may be NULL for each line in the sale, and the main query will always return each book_key books.

  EXISTS subqueries are almost always correllated to the main request.
  The following Gets the same results as the query you posted using IN:

  SELECT  book_key
  FROM    books  m   -- m for main
  WHERE   EXISTS ( SELECT  NULL   -- The column "selected" makes absolutely no difference
                   FROM    sales

• Scope of variables: Application.cfm vs Application.cfc - very confusing

  Hi all
  
  ColdFusion newbie here, please bear with me :)
  
  I am currently responsible for the upgrade of a huge project of ColdFusion 5 (more than 1,000 pages of CF) for ColdFusion 8, I tried to refactor old code in CFCS, but ran into a problem with the scope of variables, or lack thereof.
  
  In the old application, there is a single Application.cfm in which a bunch of global variables are defined, without scope, as:
  < CFSCRIPT >
  ...
  PrimaryDataSource = 'TestDB '.
  ...
  < / CFSCRIPT >
  
  It seems that variables defined as this can be viewed very well in all CFM pages using #PrimaryDataSource #, but not in one of my new pages of CFCS.
  
  What should I do for that these variables global scopeless available for CFCS? Also, what actually means if global variables are defined without any scope?
  
  I'm really new to ColdFusion, so I would be very grateful if someone could throw a light here!
  Thanks in advance.

  They are not global variables. Local variables in the variables
  scope. On one of your current pages, PrimaryDataSource would be the same
  as variables. PrimaryDataSource.

  How it works currently, is that Application.cfm is an automatic
  included file. That is, for every single request, this file is
  automatically included at the beginning of the request and all these
  local variables are defined and exist only for the duration of this request.

  When you start to refactor the code in the CFC, you'll have to
  get a better handle on how to deal with these types of broad application
  variables. There are a few choices.

  One, you can create them as truly global variables is in the
  application or session brought rather than local and temporary variables
  scope. You use depends on whether the value of a variable is the
  even for all users [app] or may be unique to each user [session].

  Second, you can set these variables within CFC itself as one
  variable local "variables" scope inside the CFC. These variables will be
  live as long as an instance of the CFC lives. So if the CFC
  has persisted in session or application scope, then the data of "variables".
  inside she will persist.

  It is a great subject and a response email will not cover
  all the ins and outs of it. You are looking at a huge task and will want to
  to do a lot of reading. I suggest starting with the ColdFusion
  documentation. It has good chapters that cover all these details
  about the various scopes of variables and other chapters which cover
  Components. After ColdFusion documentation, there are now three
  volume "ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit" by Ben Forta et al.
  Finally, there is a vast internet blogs, discussion lists and
  Tutorials that cover all these topics in lower and more details.

• Big problem with the variable PATH approx. need help!

  Hello
  I had a problem with the PATH environment variable. Instead of updating client Informatica & server paths PATH env variable, I created new PATH env variable and to establish client & server paths and saved. When I revisited this PATH Env variable, I was shocked to see the content of the PATH variable. I have to set back the old values like windows OS, DB etc paths paths. Could someone tell me how to make or do I have to reinstall the OS, DB, etc. Am on WIndows server 2003.

  I saved my PATH before configuring Informatica. Here's what I had:

  Path = C:\oracle\10gclient\bin; C:\OracleBI\server\Bin; C:\OracleBI\web\bin; C:\OracleBI\web\catalogmanager; C:\OracleBI\SQLAnywhere; C:\OracleBAM\ClientForBAM\bin;%SystemRoot%\System32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem; C:\OracleBAM\BAM; C:\Informatica\PowerCenter8.1.1\client\bin

  The critical components of the OS dependent PATH is % SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem.

• scope of variables?

  I'm looking for any discussion on the scope of variables in Captivate. I searched these forums and the help site but have not come up with something useful.

  According to the information I have encountered so far, it seems that Captivate has no local variables, which means that no matter what variable I declare will be global in this project.

  Is this correct?

  Thank you

  Pete

  Indeed, object names must be unique.

• Features and scope of variables

  I use this code:
  
  var getdata:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
  
  GetData.Load ("datatoflash.php");
  getdata.onLoad = function() {}
  var graphData:Array = new Array (this.rating1, this.rating2, this.rating3, this.rating4, this.rating5);
  };
  trace (graphData)
  
  I understand the scope of variables. But I want to check something, I learned. When the trace is made, there the Guthrie listed as indefinite. This is because it has been declared within the function. Is it all still get the function table and use them on the other where, in my film? Even if the Board is filled inside the function?

  The track is called before the onLoad never happen as it takes time for a file to load. If you did not ensure that the data is loaded to a party outside the onLoad, so this isn't a good idea to use it. In order to demonstrate that he is working, have:

  Stop();
  var getdata:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
  getdata.onLoad = function() {}
  graphData = new Array (this.rating1, this.rating2, this.rating3, this.rating4, this.rating5);
  nextFrame();
  }

  And on the next framework: trace (graphData);
