I think I have a similar problem. I'm using TOAD for MySQL and my error message is: Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts I can connect to a database on a remote server, just not on a database on localhost. The version of MySQL is 4.1 and is newly installed - TOAD is 5.1 and...

Ahhh, the old debate - To get certified or not to get certified. The answers to that question go beyond a simple yes or no to the variety of people who ask it. As with most things in life, I think the benefits from participating in the education process are tied to the investment made in the...

Hey Dan - thanks for the response. That's exactly where I want to go. I figure, window.error isn't seeing anything wrong with window.open returning null so the handlePopupErrors() function isn't even getting hit. I changed the showPopup() function to include a variable I can test. function...

Hello everybody! (hello, Dr. Nick) Seriously - I have this site written in Flash and PHP and one part of it has to pop up in its own window (Gaa - not a popup?!?) - yeah, a popup. But the client gets what the client wants. So Microsoft has this bit of Javascript that's supposed to demonstrate...

Yeah, for some reason that particular line of code doesn't even remove the border when testing only the scene. I wonder if .setStyle is MX2004 syntax and .setStyleProperty is just MX. Anyhoo - I think I came up with a temporary, albeit much less elegant solution - I opened up the scrollpane...

From the debugger window I see the following path: _level0.SECTION_ORGANIZATIONAL_CHART.OrgChartMC.boundingBox_MC.boundingBox It looks like there's only one level for the whole movie. OrgChartMC is the name for the scrollpane instance.

I have the usual kind of scrollpane problem - getting rid of the border. Oldnewbie had a good tip to use the following in the actionscript for the scrollpane movieclip instance: _level0.scrollpaneinstance.boundingBox_mc._visible = false; I've also tested this: myColor = new...

Right on Wullie - you got it all figured out. Let's hear it everybody - Bully for Wullie. Best of luck menstroy - I feel your pain and I hope you don't have to pursue legal action to get hostonic to do right by you. Cheers, cyclegeek

Wullie, Prepare - to be shocked (but probably pointlessly). I personally was thwarted from having multiple domain DNS entries changed by a host because of how they register domains. Here are the hopefully not pointless details: The host in question was CI Host. By the way, they suck. CI...

Not to beat a dead horse or anything but to follow up on a couple good suggestions: Registering one's own domain oneself thru an official registration channel like Network Solutions, or Registrar.com is better than having a host or other third party firm register a domain name. Even if a third...

Haha - almost forgot about this story (how could I). A couple classmates at the Chubb Institute had the following experience. The Chubb Institute acts as a recruiter/placement firm for graduates and as such sends students on interviews to client firms. The better you do in class, the better...

Step one: Right off the bat start calling yourself a web developer. At parties tell people you work for Honda AND have a side business as a web developer. Step two: After con[ning]vincing someone to give you work, hit Tek-Tips, ProgrammersParadise, ExpertsExchange, etc. to get the (FREE)...

Yup. Tried double clicking it, opening up it's properties dialogue box and hitting the edit button - nada.

New to Flash and just took over someone's Flash site. There's a symbol that I can see in the library that I think contains a mailto e-mail address typo I'm looking for. In the library dialogue there's a symbol that looks like the one I want but when I click edit in the symbol's properties...

Take this post with a grain of salt because the previous posts that suggest using ASP to feed data to MySql or Access databases are probably the best bet, even if you're a sql newbie. If you're totally new to data access stuff and the amount and kinds of data are not exceedingly complex then...

Yeah, I'd say development is probably more diverse than administration, although I think right now DBA's get a bit more money than developers. And you can move between environments (MySql, Oracle, SQL Server etc.) without huge adjustments because the programming syntax is basically the same for...

For tutorials on html, css and lots of other really useful things like xml and scripting go to www.w3schools.com. Cheers, cyclegeek

Okay - so, most of this thread is now moot, because I boffed part of the technical interview and therefore didn't make the cut. But, I'm not exactly teary eyed considering I couldn't have afforded to go without work for three to four months and I have the option of trying again in another...

Wow - once again thanks everyone for helping me out on this one. LesleyW - Yeah, if I can't speak to a bunch of grads then that clinches it. I forgot to mention that the rep I've been dealing with made sort of a big deal over the number of hours their career people spend with students during...

Varocho - that's a nice thought but this opportunity does not sound too good to be true - the problems are the clearly identifiable pitfalls. The point unixtechie makes is one of my biggest fears. I don't think their people wind up flipping burgers, but I don't want to get referred to the same...
