»  Javascript question

Is it possible to put javascript directly into flash??? And if so, how? ThanksWhat is it that you really want to do? What I mean is, what would be the point of putting it in there?this might clear it up... no, you can not put javascript in your swf's. but you can call javascript functions (and pass variables to them) from a swf. so, if you want to open a new window you can't just put getURL("javascript:new.window","_blank"), but you could write a javascript function that opens a new window and call that function like this: getURL ("javascript:functionNameHere(parametersHere)","_blank"); if you are passing dynamic parameters from the swf: getURL("javascript:functionNameHere("+parametersHere+")","_blank"); hope that helps! jeremyI am wonderi...... - 2008-11-19

UPDATE: Roche: Companies Need To Stockpile Flu Drugs By Val Brickates Kennedy BOSTON (Dow Jones) -- According to a senior executive of pharmaceutical giant Roche, companies should plan on stockpiling avian flu vaccines and antiviral medications in order to protect employees from the ravages of a possible avian flu pandemic rather than relying solely on the government. According to George Abercrombie, chief executive officer of Roche's Hoffman- LaRoche division, companies should consider stockpiling enough of the flu- fighting products to protect at least 25% of their workers.

» Selecting artists from music library takes over a minute

I have a relatively recent T3CH build of XBMC (xbmc.log says "Built on Apr 6 2008"). I have a music library shared over samba with about 200 artists, 500 albums, and 8000 songs. In music settings "Fetch album information on scan" and "Fetch artist information on scan" were both on when I scanned my library. Now my problem is that when I view my music in library mode, if I click on "artists" it takes over a minute to list the artists with a lot of hard drive thrashing on the xbox. The other menu items (albums and songs) work as quickly as I would expect: Artists: 1:13 Albums: 0:01 Songs: 0:07 These times are about the same regardless of whether the setting "enable tag reading" is enabled or not under music settings.

Hi, I have a problem with my Canon EOS 300D and an old Quantaray 80-300mm lens (I bought it 1995, need to check the correct name). The lens works fine on my EOS 500 (which it is supposed to be made for since it's a film camera) but when I want to use it on my 300D I can make one, sometimes two shots and then the camera tells me ERR 99. All other "analog" lenses work fine on my 300D. Can anybody tell me if this is a general problem or if may be just the lens contacts are dirty or something along these lines?

» Why XBMC should support Ogg Theora

Hi, XBMC desperately needs to support Ogg Theora video. Why? First, because it is a shame that one of the leading open source projects in multimedia still has no support for the one truly open video codec. Second, because Theora is gaining popularity: though there may have been a time when only hardcore open source advocates would use it, nowadays more and more people are producing Theora content (just take a look at videos from many conferences!). Third, because current mplayer versions already support Theora. Surely it can't be that difficult to backport Theora support to the mplayer version used by XBMC?

Well, part one was in another forum a while ago and I couldn't find it. After last night's showing matching up very well against Brazil and scoring the lone US goal, Carlos Bocanegra once again proved to me that he would be an improvement in central defense and could join Woodgate in the back. Earlier this year, the rumor was that sides were going to wait until the MLS season ended, when Boca would be available on a free. I say don't wait; pay MLS and sign him for now.Getting Bocanegra would be a great addition to the backline seeing that that area needs work. If I was NUFC, I'd also wait for the MLS season to end to sign him for free so as to save money & if he turns out to be an awesome player, then it's a shrewd business move. B...... - 2008-11-19

» Disney closes the vault on Narnia, Lady and the Tramp, and Bambi

You'll never be able to buy them again... until the next time Disney re-releases themI find this policy of deleting the titles infuriating... and suspect they keep missing out on the latest batch of small children who would love the movies! When my daughter was about two, she was mad on Lady and the Tramp, and I had to keep renting a fast-disintegrating copy of the VHS video from the local library because it wasn't available to buy (it had been deleted before she was born.) By the time it came out again on DVD, she was too old to be bothered about it!;) (Although I'm sure she will always have a soft spot for the movie, as I do...)Wow..Narnia? That kind of sucks. I can understand the others, but I guess they just want to make narnia a re...... - 2008-11-19

Lao Foreign Ministry spokesman Yong Chanthalansy confirmed a report on the Web site of the Vientiane Times newspaper that the Lao government's National Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Committee on July 18 had confirmed that the chickens died of bird flu. The results of laboratory tests to determine whether it was the virulent H5N1 virus were expected in a week or...... - 2008-11-19

» Using Userdata Folder from XBox in XBMC Live

Hi, I try to use the userdata folder from my xbox (only the master user is in use) to works in xbmc live. This is very important for me because I add 1000 of actors thumbs manually to the database. If I copy the userdata folder to /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata on the xbmc live I get a blue gui after the restart. So I think some folder/file rights not correct or additional/different files are necessary to use the old databases and thumbs on the xbmc live system. Usually I found problems in the xmbc.log file but I don´t find a log on the live system. The debug mode in XBMC is switched on. Have anyone an idear how it is possible to run the xbmc live with an integrated userdata folder from the xbox and where the debug log is located...... - 2008-11-19

» Portrait questions - shooting toddlers

I am a total newbie and have the d40x. I am trying to shoot pix of my toddler daughter who won't really stay still for too long. I just got the 50mm 1.8 per recommendation from another board and I'm impressed but hate that I have to manually focus since I am already trying to shoot in Manual and it takes too long to focus, get my exposure meter correct, etc... before my daughter has changed positons or has had enough. Anyways, I am shooting indoors with natural light. I feel as if I am not getting 'crisp' enough - my photos still seem a tad blurry and not focused. I am not sure what I am doing wrong - is it that I am not focused as best as can be with manual? What tips do you have for making these shots better, and keeping my daughter si...... - 2008-11-19

» Tab Title Disappear in IE6 with non latin characters

When trying to set a title to tabs in a non-latin language (Hebrew in this case) I got an annoying bug in IE6 (see attached images): 1. The tab is not showing as a tab but as a long blue div 2. The non-latin characters are not showing unless surrounded by latin characters It is working OK in FF and in IE7, but it means that I can't have Hebrew titles to tabs as most of the users are still using IE6. To test it simply change in the example at: http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/tabs/tabs.html the following lines in tabs-example.js var tabs = new Ext.TabPanel({ renderTo: 'tabs1', width:450, activeTab: 0, frame:true, defaults:{autoHeight: true}, items:[ {contentEl:'script',...... - 2008-11-19

» 4th 5th & 6th

I was trying to find out why we had an outbreak 3 days in a row. why did the system produce three consecutive outbreaks? Did the system get blocked, was it moving very slowly, what happened?As the main trough dug in from the west, the low became a "cut-off" low, tearing away from the main branch of the jetstream. With extremely strong speed maxes wrapping around the low consecutive days (up to 80/90kst in some areas), outbreaks of supercells and tornadoes occurred, and largely in the same areas, because the origin of the energy (cut-off low) didn't move. In a typical scenario, the same thing happnes except the trough stays with the jet, does its thing, and then kicks back out with the main jet....however last weekend, we had what I call a ...... - 2008-11-19

» YUI reset-fonts-grids-min.css breaks yiu-ext grids

Hello, When using the css from yui "reset-fonts-grids-min.css" it breaks yui-ext especially the grid when using borderlayout. This happens also when the yui style is loaded before the yui-ext.css style. The behaviour is slightly different in IE6 and Firefox 1.5. For example, using complex.html from yui-ext, IE does not render all columms of the grid in east after load, but renders when one item is clicked. But then resizing does not work proper. In Firefox, it looks ok. Another effect: when adding a grid to the center region via the panel, it fails in bot FF and IE. I am not sure wether to treat this as a bug, but since "reset-fonts-grids-min.css" is used in most yui projects i might be worth to mention. Regards Wol...... - 2008-11-19

» Sending web pages by email

I've been using the rule shown in the attachment to allow me to send URL links to friends directly from Internet Explorer. It's much tighter than just allowing the default "email client" presets. IE allows you to send either the actual page or just a URL link to someone by email directly from IE without loading up Outlook Express (yeah, I admit it; I use OE (shame, shame)) :rolleyes: It's a selection from the "Files" menu. This OP rule permits IE to access my SMTP email when I want it to but pops up an report dialog so that I'll know if something is trying to use IE to send email without my permission.
