ColorTransform breaks MotionTween

So I have a MovieClip on its own layer. I set up a three key-frame Motion Tween in the Flash editor (v10.0.2). The MovieClip slides in from top, then slides out to the right.
Now, in the first keyframe of the animation I set a ColorTransform using the following code.
var tc:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
//set some values on tc...
item_mc.transform.colorTransform = tc;
The motion tween previews correctly when I scrub the playhead in the editor.
However, when I trigger the motion tween in a published .swf, the tween breaks halfway. It correctly slides in from the top, but it does not slide out to the right.
When I remove the colorTransform assignment line from the code, the tween functions correctly again.
Is this result intended, or is it a bug? And if it's intended, in what ways would I correctly set a ColorTransform in ActionScript 3 without breaking the Motion Tween?

Very well, then, it's expected behavior.
Am I understanding correctly, then, that in order to get the effect I want, I would have to create the entire tween for this MovieClip in ActionScript?
If so, can I get a simple example of creating/setting a MotionTween in ActionScript? Simple linear from-to.
Would I then need two separate motion tweens? That is, would my ColorTransform line wipe the script-applied tween as well?

Using colorTransform ANYWHERE in a scene breaks GPU?

Are people aware that using a colorTransform -- either assigned by ActionScript, or in the Properties pane -- on ANY displayobject, cached or not (or even INSIDE something cached) will prevent ALL bitmaps from caching? As in, if ANY visible movieclip, ANYWHERE in the display list of the ENTIRE STAGE, has a non-default colorTransform property, then EVERY cached displayobject, ANYWHERE in the display list of the ENTIRE STAGE, will draw 'red' permanently in -renderingdiagnostics mode. Has anyone else encountered this?

Wow - that's totally true!
Was searching so long now for the error in my application. Using ColorTransform completely messes up the GPU stuff - even up the hierarchy.

Need help with ColorTransform

HELP!!
I'm trying to get a simple Tennis Court colorizer to work. I have 2 rows of buttons targeted to separate instances (inside court and outside court).
The rows of buttons color the instances the way they should, but not at the same time -- meaning; the top row colors the inside of the court, but when I click on any button in the bottom row, the outside of the court changes color correctly, but the inside of the court turns black.
Same thing happens in reverse. I need to be able to change colors on the inside and outside
I am a complete novice with Flash, but my client wanted this thing, and I'm trying to make it work. I've reverse engineered this from a nmber of sources, and trial and error. For the record, I have many (many) years of experience with Illustrator and Photoshop. Just don't use Flash, because I create usually static artwork for print.
I also need to have the color name appear above the button rows when a color is clicked.
Haven't gotten to that part yet.
Here's the page with the embedded .swf file:
http://www.jerryrussell.com/sandbox/TennisCourtColorizerCS6.html
Here's the Action Script:
// BUTTON ARRAYS with the instances of the buttons
var obtts:Array = [O_green1, O_green2, O_green3, O_blue1, O_blue2, O_tan, O_red];
var ibtts:Array = [I_green1, I_green2, I_green3, I_blue1, I_blue2, I_tan, I_red];
// sets an object with colors for each button
var set_outercolors:Object = {'O_green1':0x26822E, 'O_green2':0x1E592B, 'O_green3':0x104322, 'O_blue1':0x0665A4, 'O_blue2':0x023F5F, 'O_tan':0x766B4E, 'O_red':0x703730};
var set_innercolors:Object = {'I_green1':0x26822E, 'I_green2':0x1E592B, 'I_green3':0x104322, 'I_blue1':0x0665A4, 'I_blue2':0x023F5F, 'I_tan':0x766B4E, 'I_red':0x703730};
// sets a ColorTransform object
var oobj_color:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
var iobj_color:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
// traverse the "obtts" array with button instances
for(var o:int=0; o<obtts.length; o++) {
// set the color to each button
oobj_color.color = set_outercolors[obtts[o].name];
obtts[o].transform.colorTransform = oobj_color;
// register CLICK event for each button
obtts[o].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeColor);
ibtts[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeColor);
// traverse the "ibtts" array with button instances
for(var i:int=0; i<ibtts.length; i++) {
// set the color to each button
iobj_color.color = set_innercolors[ibtts[i].name];
ibtts[i].transform.colorTransform = iobj_color;
// register CLICK event for each button
ibtts[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeColor);
// function called by CLICK events
function changeColor(evt:Event):void
// get the instance name of the clicked button
var b_name = evt.target.name;
// set and change the instance color
oobj_color.color = set_outercolors[b_name];
outer.transform.colorTransform = oobj_color;
iobj_color.color = set_innercolors[b_name];
inner.transform.colorTransform = iobj_color;

the problem lies here:
/ set and change the instance color
oobj_color.color = set_outercolors[b_name];
outer.transform.colorTransform = oobj_color;
iobj_color.color = set_innercolors[b_name];
inner.transform.colorTransform = iobj_color;
you are setting both (inner/outer) colors everytime you click.
but if bname is an outer-color button he won`t find a corresponding inner-color and vice versa
thus it "resets" to 0x000000 (black);
you have to include a switch like this:
//look if the first string of the buttons name is an I or an O
switch(bname.substr(0,1){
case "O":
oobj_color.color = set_outercolors[b_name];
outer.transform.colorTransform = oobj_color;
break;
case "I":
iobj_color.color = set_innercolors[b_name];
inner.transform.colorTransform = iobj_color;
break;

ColorTransform messing up timeline animation.

I dynamically set a color using this function in colortransform.
function setColor(o:DisplayObject,color:uint):void
     var myColor:ColorTransform = o.transform.colorTransform;
     myColor.color = color;
     o.transform.colorTransform = myColor
I then have a short timeline animation in Flash CS5 where the height grows just a little bit, and it does not grow.
It grows in the preview, but not after compile. If i comment out this color transform function, the height animates correctly.
Any help would be appreciated thank you.

changing a displayobject's appearance with actionscript will break any concurrent timeline tween. to remedy, use only actionscript or use only the timeline.

ANY SY-INDEX REFLECT CHANGES WHEN CONTROL BREAK STATEMENT PROCESS

Dear Guru's,
                 I have a requirement where i have to move the values to variable when control break (AT END OF) process. So i want to move the values according to the end of Vendor so for that i want to know is there any sy-index available which reflects changes when Control break (AT end of) process.
LIKE Sy-subrc = 0 when select statement fetches record or sy-tabix is like counter for loop.
Hope to get reply soon.
Regards,
Himanshu Rangappa

Hi,
There is no system Fields for it.
But your requirement can be done with 'AT NEW' and 'AT END' statement.
Refer this sample example,
loop at otab.
    at new module.
      move otab-module to otab2-module.
    ENDAT.
      at END OF effort.
      sum.               "Do your calculations here
      move otab-count to otab2-count.
      append otab2.
    endat.
endloop.

Iphone 5s voice garbled, breaking up

People I call on my iPhone 5s say my voice sounds garbled and is breaking up. Is it a hardware issue?

I am getting the same complaints from people I talk to on the phone. I started keeping track of when it was happening. The only common factor that I can find is that all complaints are happening when I am talking to someone while I am in a loud environment.
I tuned off the "Phone Noise Cancelation" feature about a week ago and I have not had any complaints since. You can find this feature in the settings icon then go to General then look for Accessibility. The Phone Noise Cancelation option is about half way down the page under accessibility.
I hope this helps!

New Applescript version breaks old code

Hi there,
First off, I'm not an Applescripter, but I have one script I wrote a few years back (with help from kind people on the net) to generate and save tiny applications which, when called from within an Adobe Flash executable, would open the required file using the Mac OS native application associated with them (i.e a doc file wouldbe opened by Word if installed, TextEdit if not...)
It used to run fine on my old Powerbook G4 on an old version of AppleScript, but times change and, one whizzy Intel processor later, I'm trying to get the same script running on OS 10.8 with AppleScipt 2.5.1, with varied results.
Basically, what the script should do is read a comma delimited file in the same folder as the script, called 'fileNames.csv' which contains the names of all the files that I want the tiny apps to open. Each item will then have its own file created by the AppleScript, named after each item, which get saved in an pre-existing folder in the same directory as the script and fileNames.csv file, called 'fscommand'.
The example of the fileNames.csv file I'm having issues with:
yr2_unit_1_tn.doc,yr2_unit_2_tn.doc,yr2_unit_3_tn.doc ... etc up until yr2_unit_20_tn.doc
The script always used to work fine, but the new version of AppleScript seems to have broken it. When I run it now, it creates all the .app files up until 'yr2_unit_11_tn.doc.app' but then stalls in 'Running...' mode in the AppleScipts editor, and refuses to save apps for the final nine files in the .csv file.
It still runs ok from an older AppleScript editor (2.2.1) but this only saves PowerPC applications, which won't run on Intel Macs. And this would be me running away from the problem, rather than attempting to solve it ;-)
I'm thinking it's a filename issue, as it always seems to break when attempting to save "yr2_unit_11_tn.doc.app" when "yr2_unit_1_tn.doc.app" already exists in the 'fscommand' folder. If I create a new 'fileNames.csv' file which only contains ten entries from 'yr2_unit_11_tn.doc' to 'yr2_unit_20_tn.doc', and run the script to an empty 'fscommand' folder, it processes all the files fine. It just won't do all twenty entries from 1 to 20.
Here's the script. I know I'm doing something really stupid here, but as a rock bottom novice AppleScripter, I can't see the error, or why it would work in one version of AppleScript and not another. I can post a link to the zipped files if this is any help in solving it. Thanks in advance for any help! :-)

                    set theReversedCharacters to reverse of theCharacters
                    set theReversedFileName to theReversedCharacters as string
                    set theOffset to offset of "." in theReversedFileName
                    set theReversedSuffix to text 1 thru (theOffset - 1) of theReversedFileName
                    set theSuffix to (reverse of (characters of theReversedSuffix)) as string
                    set the text of document 1 to "tell application \"Finder\"" & NL & "activate" & NL & "set cwd to get folder of container of (path to me) as Unicode text" & NL & "open file (cwd & \"assets:" & theSuffix & ":" & theItem & "\")" & NL & "end tell"
compile document 1
                    set file_path to theFolderPath & theItem & ".app"
                    save document 1 as "application" in file file_path
close window 1
          end repeat
end tell

That seemed to be it. I put a tiny delay in between saving the document and closing the window and the file runs smoothly through all 20 items.
compile document 1
set file_path to theFolderPath & theItem & ".app"
save document 1 as "application" in file file_path
delay 0.3
close window 1
Never thought that I'd reach the day where I was trying to slow the computer down to process something more carefully :-D

In alv report can i use control break events? if no .whay?

Hi all,
in alv report can i use control break events? if no .whay?

hi,
you can use control break statements in ALV report.
for example: if one PO is having more than one line item, that time you need to display PO only once.

Free Transform breaks Motion Tweens

Sigh! Normally I try to solve problems myself... but Google isn't giving me anything about this so maybe I'm the only one in the world experiencing this particular issue.
I've used Flash for making games for years now, and I got used to using the old motion tweens for making looping animations for characters. I made the leap from AS2 to AS3 a while ago, and felt like I should try to use these new motion tweens as well since I got CS5...
I've found them completely unusable, however, due to a bizarre problem that happens when moving around objects using the Free Transform tool.
For a single character, I'll have a MovieClip with several layers, each with a 'body part' MovieClip on it, then I add the new blue-type motion tweens to all of those layers. At the end of those tweens, I use F6 to (hopefully) duplicate the starting pose; it is meant to loop, after all. Then I'll go about half way between these two keyframes and move bits around to create the A->B->A sort of 'idle' or 'breathing' animation.
The Free Transform seems dodgy though. If I select all the 'limbs' of a character at once and try to rotate them as a group, it works, but they each end up displaced a bit when I release the mouse; they get offset slightly or rotate a bit in seemingly random directions.
For example, compare these two images (it's easiest if they're opened in separate tabs, I suppose): http://scraps.fighunter.com/sparkpupagh1.png and http://scraps.fighunter.com/sparkpupagh2.png
The first one is after rotating it but before I released the mouse button, the second is what the pieces ended up like after I released the button. Most of the pieces ended up where they should be, but the head was offset slightly. This is a mild case; it's usually worse and affects all the pieces, and the slight offsets and rotations build up, too.
This in itself wouldn't be too bad - though it's frustratingly inaccurate - but it gets much, much worse the more I work on a single animation.
(Note: These strange changes don't happen if I rotate all the parts as a group if they're not also contained within new motion tweens...)
Here's a screenshot showing a frame mid-way through an animation, with one of the parts selected: http://scraps.fighunter.com/meepagh1.png
The Motion Editor is shown, though I don't use that directly.
With that feather bit selected, I then rotated it a tiny, tiny amount, but didn't *move* it at all. When I released the mouse, it ended up snapping suddenly to here: http://scraps.fighunter.com/meepagh2.png
That'd be frustrating in itself, but as you can see from the Motion Editor, it's also messed up most of the other frames in the animation, somehow. This becomes unbearable, as you can likely imagine!
If I edit the graph in the Motion Editor directly to alter the Z value and cause a rotation, it works, without problems... but this is horribly inefficient and unintuitive and not a solution. I can't animate by tweaking numbers. It's like trying to draw a portrait using an Etch-A-Sketch!
It seems to only be the Free Transform tool that creates this bizarre problem.
This has been happening since I got CS5 maybe a year or two ago, though I haven't actually had to use the animation tools much until a few days ago so that's why I'm bringing it up now. I've restarted Flash, my computer, etc, etc, many times; I also got the trial version of CS6 today to see if THAT would fix it, but the exact same thing happens in that version too.
I'm wondering whether it's my computer's fault in some way... I don't know enough about hardware and 'specs' and that sort of stuff to describe anything about it, but I'm using Windows Vista and the computer is fairly old and not exactly what I'd call reliable. I'm planning to get a new one soon, so it'd be nice if that fixed this problem... but frustrating if it doesn't.
I'll link to the CS6-flavoured .fla that those screenshots are from: http://scraps.fighunter.com/Meep.fla
I'd very much appreciate it if someone could test this to see if it's happening to only me! If I go to frame 146 (to choose one at random), and try to rotate the foot, slightly, using the Free Transform tool, it breaks in the way that I've described. (Oddly, the head feather rotates without issues on that frame...) If you were to try to do this same thing and it *doesn't* break, it might be a good sign that it's my computer's fault!
If it *does* break though... then I'd very much appreciate any help I can get from someone who understands the new motion tweens better than I do!
It'd be a shame to have to go back to Classic Tweens because of this...

What are the things 10.6.8 update break?

After the 10.6.8 update I am having so many issues,
first, the %100 cpu usage of dock, disabled parallels, and now it is ok,
then, a reboot and I am unable to login, I enter my password, it begins the login process, then logs me out,
if I persist, it logs me in after a couple of tries, but each time a few of my applications are missing at random, and the environment is very very unstable, sometimes I see no desktop background, sometimes I start firefox and I am logged out again.
I've seen some people suggesting removal of login items to resolve a similar but not the same issue, so I'm inclined to think overall, there is an issue with some applications which 10.6.8 update breaks.
For starters my login items are:
GrowlHelper
Geektool
EyeTv Helper
Canon IJ Network scanner
ituneshelper
Magicprefs
Sophosuiserver
Does anyone have any problems with any of these?

Hi Bruce and fruhulda,
ok, I found the keyboard viewer, it only shows the traditional symbol 'return'. something like a sideway u-turn continued with the arrow under. This is the Canadian or US keyboard.
btw thanks for your suggestion.

What is it about this markup that breaks DW CS3 Design View Editing?

Folks:
I'm attaching very simple --and apparently completely valid-- markup that generates the text shown between the markers below:
------------start----------------
yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda badda.
------------end----------------
As you can see by examining the file, it contains only an span enclosing text and spaces, and some following breaks. This file passes DW validation: no errors or warnings.
If I open this file in DW CS3 Design View, select and delete the last word, "badda", the entire text --every "yadda"-- is also deleted. All that text is really gone -- if I immediately save the file and re-open it, there is no text content at all, just the span pair, spaces, and the trailing breaks. This is completely repeatable.
When you edit this file, do you get the same result?
The attached file is a cut-down, simplified version of a production file that exhibits this issue. (That file also passes validation.)   When I delete single words, entire content paragraphs disappear.   So this is not just a point of curiosity. I need to figure out how to fix the production code and avoid this problem in the future.
What is it about the attached markup that causes this issue? I've fooled around with this code quite a bit and the best I can figure out is that DW is confused when both the start- and end- span tags are followed immediately by a line break. Inserting a space in either place makes the issue go away.   But the production code doesn't have any occurances of this pattern. And, anyway, line-breaks have no significance to html, just for source-code formatting, right?
Am I missing something incredibly obvious?
TIA

Nancy O:
Thank you for your response, which gave me valuable clues to understanding the issues.   (Specifically, it led me to re-read and understand better the nitty-gritty of the HTML4 specs, section 7, "The global structure of an HTML Document", especially 7.5.1 The BODY element.)
I believe you are saying --in sum-- that to be reliably edited in DW, each source file must comprise a syntactically correct and complete HTML Document.
I am attaching a second file, "badcode2.html", modified substantially as you suggest. It passes the DW validator, the validator.w3.org test, and the www.totalvalidator.com test.    No errors or warnings.
I do this:   Launch DW, open this file, choose Design View if necessary, select the final word of text, "badda", and activate Edit-->Cut (or Delete).   As before, all the other text is deleted as well. This is repeatable.
It seems to me this sample code satisfies your general principle. Could I be misapplying the three validation tests? Or that passing these tests does not assure the document is syntactically correct and complete?   Can you recommend other tests?
I'd like to add the following two points as a matter of background and a bit of niggling:
--I'm aware that complete HTML pages must contain <html> , <head>, and <body> tags, although the HTML4 specification seems to say <body> tags are optional.   All my production pages, as served, contain these tags.   My underlying design is a php template with individual content files incorporated by inclusion.   There may be only one set of <html> , <head>, and <body> in a page. The "outer" template code provides these tags, and individual content files cannot contain a nested set -- so they must be "bare" markup.   Is DW able to support this design, in which "bare markup" files are seemingly unavoidable?    Is there a mechanism analogous to DW Design-Time Style Sheets to provide virtual existence of these tags so "bare markup" files can be successfully edited? I've looked for such a mechanism but not found one.    Or some completely different method?
--You specify the inclusion of <p> or <h1> tags within the body.    Is there some special significance of <p> or <h1> with respect to stable editing in DW? My reading of the HTML4 spec indicates that a single block element is the minimal requirement for body content. Either of these tags qualify, right?   But so does <div>, and that's what I use in my current example.    Am I misunderstanding something?
Bottom line, I'm looking for a pragmatic solution for my problem:   Once in a while, among hundreds of structurally similar "bare markup" pages I edit in DW without any problem, I lose data.   If inserting an additional tag into all my content include files eliminates these occasional problems, I'm willing to do that, as long as: (1) There is an arguable technical basis for the addition, (2) the added tag does not produce anything visible on the served page, and (3) the validators don't flag the extra tag.
Suggestions, please!
Thanks,

IMovie capture from DV tape without auto scene break

Has anyone figured out to prevent iMovie from automatically inserting scene breaks in iMovie'11.
I am importing previously edited footage for conversion. This still contains the timestamps.
After importing, iMovie automatically places each clip by time/date order in Events - which means it is jumbled up because it has previously been edited.
Basically what I want is either 1) to import as a single clip, i.e. disable auto scene break, or 2) to be able to sort clips into same time/date order that they were imported.
Cheers

iMovie will assume that anything imported in DV Stream is coming directly off a camcorder, and therefore will be sorted in chronological order.
If you still have access to the software where you created these movies, you can share them out in something other than DV Stream.
For example, if you have iMovie 06, you can import it without auto scene breaks. Then Export Using QuickTime to an mov container in the DV codec. That will produce an mov file that iMOvie 11 will import in the correct order.

Activation of Creative Cloud packages created with CCP 1.3 breaks when deploying via imaging

Descption of the problem:
If Creative Cloud products are deployed as a part of an OS image and the packages are created with CCP for Windows 1.3, the activation still breaks.
The problem affects most of our class room computers but, however, not all of them.
When a standard user tries to open any of the products, an error message is displayed instead of opening the the program.
Configuration error
A problem has occurred with the licensing of this product.
Restart your computer and re-launch the product.
If this problem still occurs after restarting, contact Customer Support for further assistance, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 213:19
Installed Products: Acrobat XI,Ai,Dw,Fl,Id and Ps
CCP version: 1.3.0, build 66
CCP Workstation OS: Windows 7 SP1 32-bit
Target OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit
Workaround: running APTEE on an resolves the issue every time. Yet according to Adobe this should not be necessary.
Deployment workflow
1. Create a single package containg all of the products with CCP and an Enterprise CC serial number.
2. Customize Acrobat .mst file for the target language with Adobe Customization Wizard XI, leaving the serial empty.
3. Create a batch file to run ExceptionDeployer in pre mode, install the the other products and finally run ExceptionDeployer in post mode.
4. Install the the package to a model computer using the batch.
5. Run Windows's built-in sysprep tool with OOBE and shutdown switches.
6. Capture the image from the model computer and deploy it to other computers.
We can unfortunately reliably reproduce this issue and we are, if not happy, but at least willing to provide you all the required logs and other info to find a real solution.

Hi PT_luas,
Please send me an email: [email protected] so that we may arrange a callbak.
Regards,
