Hello!

I'm trying to install an Oracle application onto Win XP SP2 and am getting the following error:
user1.pin(20): OS_ERROR while spawning
ifsrv60 -install Forms60Server port=9000...

Thanks guys. I had been looking at differences between the old implementation's DLL versions vs the new, and didn't even think of the fact Word may be a culprit. It would be great if I could just...

Greetings all!

I'm facing a problem that's been throwing me for a loop for a while now. I'm implementing an old VB application that someone else wrote a long time ago onto a VM. I've...

Thanks. Found that the IDE created some text that throws the system off. Goofs up the system.

OK, this should be easy (in theory) but I'm having issues with the java applet showing up in the HTML. The applet works when I run it within the IDE, but when I try to run the applet, a message in...

Thanks for your help. This is resolved; will now play with getting the right size for each of the buttons and then add the listeners.

OK, I'm trying to add the buttons as discussed (place the buttons down below display). 2 questions:
1) How would I set the display to be its own panel seperate from the buttons (or should I just...

Cool, thanks. Good to know about PreferredSize control too. As for doing a layout for both the display screen and for the buttons, can I set that within the related panel, or do I have to set it...

So basically 2 Layout managers are involved, one for the main screen, and another for the controls; that should work. already coding out the FlowLayout for the buttons. Cool, I'll try that. Thanks.

Thanks, I'll go through that. Was looking at a diff one, but my main concern is button size; don't want the buttons to be huge on the screen.

OK, I have one giant button coming onto the screen, but it's behind the display screen. What's the best way to get the buttons to show up at the bottom of the screen? I'm thinking some sort of...

Thanks, but here's the kicker: HOW do I add the button?? I'm sorry to say I can't get a button to show up on screen at all.

I currently have a program using keyboard input from the user, but am trying to replace keyboard input with onscreen buttons. Does anyone have any information on the best way to do this? I've...

So assuming I change that part of the code the class files can be used? That would be good.

So basically I can just deep six the applet variable inside the ImageEntity class and just use that? Hopefully that will work. Is that basically it?

I've been playing (more like struggling) with a few ways to illustrate an explosion for a Fireworks display in an application. One of my reference books dealing with Game Programming had a very nice...

Good to know. Will this allow me to create an image without any flickering when updating?

Thanks!

Is there a way to create a buffered image inside a JPanel instead of an applet? Was going through looking around for this, but the code doesn't like what I'm trying from the books.
Any references...

Played with the code more. The run() works up to updateGame() call. The rest of the function works fine.

I've tried placing a run() function in the extended class, but it doesn't do any good (only result was a black screen, and no score paint, or firework, or anything). I also tried getting rid of run...

I should have mentioned what IDE I'm using.....Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 (it generates some of the stuff that your system didn't like).

As for the primary file, the fireworks.java is the...

Sorry 'bout that. Didn't think about that part. Here are those classes below.

Constants

public class Constants
{
static public int WIDTH = 800;
static public int HEIGHT = 800;
...

Below are a few more of the files associated with this application. To save space I didn't add Constants, FireworksSpinnerSprite, and FireworksRocketSprite. The instances for the latter two can be...

As I tried to say before, the two panel classes handle two seperate aspects of the application: the first one handles aspects dealing with the game itself, such as starting the game, stopping the...

OK, one problem with trying to implement run() within this file is due to a possible conflict (didn't realize till now). The Panel file extends another file that has a run() function; I'll paste...

Thanks to both of you for the reply. Looking at both recommendations. I'll let you know if I have more questions.

No-go. I'll try doing this in another file in the program but it still just only shows the last image in the array. Been going nuts on this part of the code for the last two months now (trying a...

Good to know. I'll try that today and see what I get. Thanks.

Can I do that within a JPanel? If this was an applet that would be my first thought, but with this using JPanel instead of applet, didn't think that was an option.

The whole objective to this part of the application is to illustrate an explosion. In theory, the array would have several images, each a different stage or level of the explosion's burst. The...

One thing to add is that this is all for a JPanel, not an applet. With an applet I'd say a good SLEEP statement would be good, but that's not going to work here.

I'm trying to create a burst on the screen by running through an image array. As a test I created 3 gif images named One, Two, and Three (each one displays the associated number). The problem is,...

Thanks Ezzaral, you helped. I was looking at the paintSprite() method in order to post it, and saw the problem; didn't realize it before now. Had simple logic error and am now good to go.

I'm getting an error message below and can't figure out why. The message is as follows:
Exception in thread "Thread-3" java.lang.StackOverflowError
at...

It WAS something simple, I left out a line initializing the array's objects. I'll leave this thread open in case I run into any further issues, and will close out once this is completed. Thanks to...

Forgive me if this is something obvious, but I'm still getting stuck on this. Right now the elements in the array don't seem to be initializing since I get NullPointerExceptions repeatedly in the...

Thanks Phaelax, I'll try some of that. Was about to post something when I saw your reply so I'll hold off posting problem code until I play with that a bit more.

Thanks.

Thanks majestic0110, I'll try that. I've been playing around with another version I found a while back, and have trouble integrating it into the rest of my app (get errors that G is null from a...

Hey, I'm new to the Java arena, and am trying to create an application (using JForm and JPanel) displaying a fireworks show. The problem is creating an explosion for the display. Does anyone have...
