How to make animation loop smoothly

http://dietzclublambs.com/
The Flash on this site shows scrolling pictures on the home
page. When it comes to the end, you'll see it stops abruptly and
restarts at the beginning.
Any suggestions for a way to make it look like a seamless
transition from the end back to the beginning and keep the images
continuously scrolling?

You need to create a duplicate of the row of images and on
the last frame, position the images as they are in the first frame.
You may need to nudge the duplicate slightly to get a smooth
transition but the general idea is to utilize 2 sets of images so
that the last and first image seem to be back to back. Hope this
makes sense.

How to make a loop run for specific period of time ?

hello !
i'm new to labview and could'nt found how to make a loop run for 2 sec for example, and then to exit.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Hookso,
You can do it using the different loops like While loop and For Loop. Roderic has already stated how to do it using a for loop. I have illustrated in the attached vi how to do it using a while loop and Elapsed Time function. Take a look.

Link doesn't work and makes animation loop

i put this in actionscript
on(release)
getURL("htt://glennbeyer.freeiz.com/unreal.html");
It doesn't work and it makes the animation loop instead of stopping. Anyone know how to fix this?
Is there a way to upload the files to this forum so someone can look at it?

Select the button instance on the stage and in the properties panel where it says <Instance Name>, enter the name topLeftBtn, and be sure to do it in every keyframe for that button.
The error you are getting is not what I would suspect what I am saying to do will cure though. The error message makes me think you are using that button's name somewhere else incorrectly. YOu should go into your Publish Settings and in the Flash section select the option to Permit Debugging. Then your error message should include the line number where the error is occuring.

How to make for loop pass only once in a next() method

Good Day!
Can anyone help me or suggest any idea to resolve my problem with the below code, wherein it will only pass the for loop only once. I already tried inserting the for loop in side the if (sqlset4.isFirst()) condition but the problem is it only retrieved the first row of the resultset.
Cheers!
               Statement sOutput = consrc.createStatement();
                        ResultSet sqlset4 = sOutput.executeQuery(xquery);
                        ResultSetMetaData rsMetaData = sqlset4.getMetaData();
                        int numberOfColumns = rsMetaData.getColumnCount();
                        String writefld = "";
                        while (sqlset4.next()) {
                             writefld = "";
                             for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++) {
                                 if (xxformatid.equals("1") || xxformatid.equals("3")) {

Hi everyone!
What I actually trying to do is that I have a multiple tables and from these tables I'm going to write each of it into a flatfile that is a pipe delimeted that is why I have to make a loop to know how many fields I am going to write. The code that was attached are actually working, my only concern is that it will take a longer time of processing cause every record of a table it will pass to the for loop(checking how many column) wherein number of column/ were already known on the first loop.
Hi kajbj,
I think what your trying to explain is almost the same with below code which i had already tried. The problem with this is that the every loop of the outer loop data retrieve is only the data of the first record.
               Statement sOutput = consrc.createStatement();
                        ResultSet sqlset4 = sOutput.executeQuery(xquery);
                        ResultSetMetaData rsMetaData = sqlset4.getMetaData();
                        int numberOfColumns = rsMetaData.getColumnCount();
                        String writefld = "";
                        while (sqlset4.next()) {
                             writefld = "";
                             if (sqlset4.isFirst()) {
                                for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++) {
                                    if (xxformatid.equals("1") || xxformatid.equals("3")) {
                                        writefld = writefld + "sqlset4.getString(" + i + ").trim()" + "|";
                            writefld = writefld.substring(0, writefld.length() - 1) ;
                            output.write("\r\n");
                            output.write(writefld);
                        output.close();

How to make animated blood in Photoshop CS6?

I am wondering how I can make animated blood using Photoshop CS6. I have looked for tutorials and can't find anything. I want to make a render look like it's crying blood, so the blood would be running down the cheeks and dripping off the chin. Please help!

There isn't going to be really an automated way of doing this. Animation in Photoshop is very simple. You can basically animate just position and scale (also Layer Effects, but that generally isn't as helpful). You could, of course, hand animate this by drawing each individual frame like traditional animation. Each frame of animation would be a separate layer and you could animate the layer visibility. Or you could draw the last frame of blood flow on one layer and animate a mask that slowly reveals the blood trail.

I have 10 UiWebView to load different charts and maps on an iPad,using UIScrollView to scroll through each page, problem is on loading of each UiWebView my UiScrollView does not scroll smoothly to other pages horizontally,so how to make the scroll smooth?

I have 8-10 UiWebView's to load different charts and maps on an iPad, i am using UIScrollView to scroll through each page, problem is while loading of each UiWebView my UiScrollView does not scroll smoothly to other pages horizontally, my query is can i load UiWebView on background and how to make sure the scoll of pages is smooth, even though the loading of UiWebViews may take time.
Note :i have tried disabled scrolling on webview, so when i scroll on the page the scroll event will be of UiScrollView, so believe no conflict with UiWebView.
also in ios 6 i read about suppressesIncrementalRendering = True but i want to support ios5, also as UiWebViews are said to be running on main thread by default, i suspect when loading of webViews and when user tries to scroll the page, the main thread is busy, but i want the scroll of the page to be smooth even though the loading of UiWebViews may take time.

You will probably get a faster and more accurate answer if
you repost in the Developers Forum.

How to make animations less chopy? opinions, advice require

Hi guys ive been using flex now for about 2 years. Love flex dont have to much to complaint about it is extremely flexible however i have one simple question that i just dont quite understand and im hoping someone here can shed some light. Picture this. I have a grid and a call to a webservice. when i click on the grid item it makes a call to the webservice once the webservice returns the array of items i want to play an animation. But what i have noticed is that at the point the dataprovider is assign to the grid the application basically freezes. This is due to the fact that by assining the dataprovider to the grid flex internally is looping the colletction and passing it to the grid. Well if you are trying to play and animation while the dataprovider is being assignt the animation gets choppy... is there any techniques around this? I would really love to hear about how other people have overcomed this challenge or I'm i the only idiot thats dealing with this.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Miguel

If you use XML to get data from the server, then unmarshalling of data to create objects takes a heavy toll on the processor.
If you use Blaze DS or LCDS, deserialization from binary data is a breeze and it doesn't hit the processor as much.
Now, if you don't want to change your service, consider using TimeSlicing:

How to make a infinite SMOOTH scrolling background?

This is what I have done:
var BGround1:Background=new Background();
var BGround2:Background= Background();
stage.addChild(BGround1);
stage.addChild(BGround2);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveScroll, false, 0, true);
function moveScroll(e:Event): void
                              BGround1.x -= scrollSpeed;
                               BGround2.x -= scrollSpeed;
                        if(BGround1.x <= -BGround1.width)
                            BGround1.x =BGround2.x + BGround2.width;
                              else if(BGround2.x <= -BGround2.width)
                            BGround2.x = BGround1.x + BGround1.width;
However, If I set scrollSpeed too high, the movement is not smooth. Is there any way to make a smooth animation?
Thanks in advance.
PS: I dont know how to put the code into code tag.

you can increase the framerate or decrease the scrollSpeed. that's it.
but you'll achieve better performance by enabling the cacheAsBitmap property of BGround1 and BGround2:
var BGround1:Background=new Background();
var BGround2:Background= Background();
BGround1.cacheAsBitmap=true;
BGround2.cacheAsBitmap=true;
stage.addChild(BGround1);
stage.addChild(BGround2);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveScroll, false, 0, true);
function moveScroll(e:Event): void
                              BGround1.x -= scrollSpeed;
                               BGround2.x -= scrollSpeed;
                        if(BGround1.x <= -BGround1.width)
                            BGround1.x =BGround2.x + BGround2.width;
                              else if(BGround2.x <= -BGround2.width)
                            BGround2.x = BGround1.x + BGround1.width;

How to Make Animated GIF from Layer Comps?

Have CS3 on XP.
I have 15 Layer Comps created the way I like them...How do I make an Animated Gif or animated PNG from the Layer Comps?
Id Like Each Layer of the animation to be one of the Layer Comps... so it shows the progression of the frames built from 1st to last.
Thanks
Suzzie

I'm not sure off hand since I rarely ever have used layer comps, but I believe you need to flatten them before being able to use them in an animation...

How to make animations float with transparent background

I am taking a graduate course in adv. web design for an ed
tech program at a university. Neither my instructor nor anyone else
in my class knows how to get Flash animations to have a transparent
background, or even if this is possible. On behalf of us all, I am
wondering if it is possible to create a Flash animation without a
background--or with a transparent background, and then superimpose
it onto a web page so that the web page's background shows through
all but the animated part. We are using Flash 8. If it is possible,
can someone please tell us how to do it? I have seen web pages
where the animations float over the web page. Are these animations
made with Flash or with another program? Thank you!

Yes, it's easy, but haven't done it for a while, and not
since all the new ActiveX stuff on MS IE requires Java Script to
make the dotted outline go away.
To do it well takes a combination of Flash with the
publish-settings HTML Window Mode set to Transparent Windowless,
and tightly-designed CSS with your animation positioned in a div
that lies or overlays the exact place on the HTML page where you
want it. You can even have it scale to the entire visible window,
which can be quite cool. I did one for the holidays with snow
falling over an HTML page. It can block lnks from working, though,
so you can have the div (and animation) disappear when the
animation is done.

How to make a loop that changes two different movieclips from visible to invisible every second

I am writing some code that puzzles me. It may be, because I have a cold or because I've never needed to do anything like this. I want to have two movieclips one is visible and one is not. then one second passes the one that was visible is invisible and the invisible one is visible. What would be the best approach to this, besides handcoding if statements. I know there has to be a faster way and less expensive way than handcoding if statements.
I'd like to thank anyone who replies in advance .

this is how i would do it
package
          import flash.display.MovieClip;
          import flash.display.Sprite;
          import flash.events.TimerEvent;
          import flash.utils.Timer;
          public class Main extends Sprite
                    private var mc1:MovieClip;
                    private var mc2:MovieClip;
                    public function Main()
                              // create your mc's here
                              mc1 = new MovieClip();
                              mc2 = new MovieClip();
                              mc2.visible = false;
                              var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
                              timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, loop);
                              timer.start();
                    private function loop(e:TimerEvent):void
                              mc1.visible = !mc1.visible;
                              mc2.visible = !mc2.visible;

Buffered Reader, how to make a loop to terminate

Hello, the code uses each line from the input.txt and does whatever we want, it's termination condition is when the next line is null. But this fails to work if the input.txt doesn't have an emptyline after the last line, how to change the code to work for those files?
   try {
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("input.txt"));
        String str;

I just ran your code as is (just modified it to print the lines out) with two input files: One with a blank line at the end, and one without. I got the same exact output, and no error messages.

A blank line at the end of a text file is not the same as a null, and in fact, it does not fail. If you run the code, you will see that you are not in an endless loop.

How to make animated drop down menu responsive?

Hi
I've made an animated drop down menu in Edge Animate. It works fine at 945px wide with drop downs coming from 4 of the links. When the window is resized to 700px I want to reduce the 8 top links down to 4 and have longer drop downs and the same again at 400px wide. How do I do this as Edge has no media queries. do I use symbols?
Thanks.

Hi garyt88,
Found something that could help although I have to admit that I have not tried it myself.
