3rd Party Motion Menus

Does anybody know of a 3rd party motion menu retailer? The OEM menus are really good, but I would like to see more of what is out there. I have not yet mastered the creation of these menus, soooooo, in the meantime I am willing to pay for some really cool stuff . . . a DVD or CD or even a website . . .
Thanks,

Good day all
yes you lad's do a good job here keep up the good work
on a quick note
have there been any improvements in CS4 for excluding a thumb button from navigation - without going to AFX
or do the old rules still apply
PHOTO ONLY DISPLAY after firstly setting the link of the button to the relevant imported image timeline to complete thumbnail capture then choose convert the button to an object this effectively resolves the issues of navigation and retains the auto button routing for all remaining buttons.
FOR VIDEO DISPLAY
after setting the menu to animate buttons and linking the button to the respective video or chapter point to complete capture
the method used to exclude this button from navigation could be for example
with button routing, you just have all four directions of the button go back to itself, ie if it's button 1 then set all four directions to button 1 and it shouldn't be accessible or do any thing if you accessed it.
Then set up all the other buttons to exclude that button and make sure button 1 isn't the default button.
Jon i think your packs are well priced for the content detail and attention included well worth the money
thing that interests me - is the video video change in the motion thumb buttons noticeable when switching to the transition videos ?
can i ask if anyone has a possible solution for this ?
We get asked a lot if it is possible to use the videoroom shown here
as a motion menu
as near to this a possible - by clicking on the respective video window the stream will play
Thanks Again

3rd party Motion filter

Where do I install 3rd party filters in Motion?

They just show up in the filters list now. If the developer has published them to Apple's spec, you will have a folder with the name of the publisher. I have filter folders for BCC, idustrial design, CHV, etc.

Is blocking 3rd party cookies preventing some icons on sites' menus from showing?

I've noticed a problem in last several Fx versions where certain sites' menus & internal links - don't show icon images (for some).
Like menus on a credit card site, once logged in. Or certain webmail menu icons.
Or HP's community forum - the text editor (to add a question) menu icons - once logged in. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/custom/pa ... .hp.com%2F
It's relatively few sites - but some are important. I also noticed that any icons / images that are a problem in Fx, display in IE 9, though IE settings show 3rd party cookies blocked.
Tried a new, clean profile w/ the Fx install I was using (35.0.1). All the icon images (on sites that previously had problems) seemed to display, as long as "Accept Cookies from site" was checked & 3rd party cookies were allowed.
In the clean profile, disabling 3rd party cookies seemed to cause some icons not to show. But in IE, 3rd party cookies are "supposedly" blocked, & the icons display in it.
Obviously, the problem isn't addons - problem can be reproduced in clean profile.
Also tried a clean Fx install in another folder. Same results as above - as with my old Fx install & a clean profile.

No.
Missing icons are usually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you might see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters instead.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Motion 3rd Party Filters

How do I install 3rd party filters in Motion 3? Also.. How can I remove folders in the 3rd party filters tab within Motion. Where is the 3rd Party Filters folder in the finder? thanks

I have all that, but I don't understand how to do it.. In the original Motion, there was a 3rd party location selection in the prefs.. The manual, on page 139, says Click Choose (next to the search path). I cannot find that... I can only find the CHOOSE for the Library Path.
On page 139 it states that the FX have to be Universal, but on page 963, it says it 3rd party filters only work on Power PCs...
I've also added a few "Untitled Folder"s to the 3rd Party Filters tab within Motion. How can I remove them? Do they physically sit on the hard drive somewhere?
I'm lost. Can I do this....? thanks

Open a form from a 3rd party Java/Web based application

Hi All,
I am working for a client who has a 3rd party web application built in Java.
For one of his requirements, he wants to open a form, an apps standard form on the click of a button/url in their application.
This appears like a normal form opening from the single-signon screen where you have the self service single sign-on page, it opens the apps forms on click of the url. Can we use the same logic here? This being the case, just curious to know how is the url to open the form built? (I see that the function name, resp id etc are there in the url) So that, I can actually manipulate the url to open the forms from a url. Please see that the custom application also is included into our Oracle apps, so the user is already logged in. We just need to open the form from the click of a url/button.
Thanks,
Srini.
Thanks,
Srini.

If the ICX_SESSION is already available then the form(I am assuming you are refering to a web based form here) should open directly if the function should be accessible to the user logged in. When you say your custom application is included in Oracle apps are you launching these pages from the Ebiz home page through menus and functions ?

No SDO Communication Using CAN over EtherCAT (CoE) with 3rd Party Slave

Dear all
We are trying to establish an EtherCAT communication between a cRIO 9024 as EtherCAT master with a 3rd party frequency comverter (bmaxx 4432) as EtherCAT slave. CanOPEN over EtherCAT is industry standard.
The slave device has a CAN in Automation (CiA) configuration 402, i.e. motion and drives. Thus it has a well configured address range, input/output parameters and the like. The frequency converter remains in INIT mode and waits for a PDO definition, sent via an SDO communication.
In LabView, adding an EtherCAT master in the cRIO system works fine. Adding targets and devices on the configured EtherCAT master also works fine after we imported an XML description of our third party EtherCAT slave. LabView detects the slave type and the version correctly. Thus, there must already be a rudimentary EtherCAT communication working between LabView and our 3rd party slave.
The problem is that we cannot establish a first SDO communication.
Every description I found was about using CANopen on a CAN bus hardware (e.g. NI 9861) plugged into the cRIO. Descriptions concerning EtherCAT are usually concerning an NI cRIO 9144 extension as slave, which is not what we have.
The NI CANopen library seems to definitely require the NI 9861.
Is this correct?
1)
Either it should be possible to define a kind of virtual CAN port based on the EtherCAT port, on which we can write to and read from with the NI CANopen library. This would be the preferred solution so we can use the CANopen VIs.
Is there a way to do this?
2)
Otherwise, there should be a possibility to establish a more basic SDO/PDO communication directly based on the EtherCAT interface.
Are there any NMT/SDO/PDO VIs available to do the programming?
Is there a manual document which would describe how to start the first communication setup via EtherCAT (CoE)?
My sincere thanks for any advice you can give.
Many cheers
Markus

Dear all,
I'm trying to establish a connection between a cRIO9068 and a BM 3300 via CoE.
I already had a hard time establishing a normal EtherCAT-connection.
Finally I could set the Scan engine to active, and I was able to get from "ini" and "pre operational" into "Safe operational" and "operational".
As I can see, you had similar problems as I do.
When I add my cRIO to my project (with the EterCAT-master) I can look for the slave device, and add it to my project.
Within this slave device, I can add two mods, as seen in the attachment.
These slots should include all the parameters, the drive provides, but actually I only end up with some "position mode" -parameters, I think those are the SDO's.
If I add these to a VI, the cRIO scan engine switches to configuration mode, but can't switch back to active mode.
Actually, the Baumüller slave device should be able to provide multiple parameters for read and write.
I can see them, wehn I go to "online device state" in the rightklick menu of the slave device (Parameter.png), but there's no way I can actually use them.
I can't add these "slots" on every computer.
On some computers it's possible, on some it isn't.
Thanks for any advice, you can give.
Yours sincerely
Karl

"3rd Party Plug-Ins" Not Showing Up In Preference Pane...

I'm trying to install a couple of 3rd-Party Plug-Ins... Apparently the procedure for this is to go to Preferences, and in the "General" pane, there should be a heading that says "3rd Party Plug-Ins" along with buttons "Choose..." and "Clear" and a path.
On my General Preferences Pane, there is no such section... It goes right from "Content Library & Templates" to "Media," with no "3rd Party Plug-Ins" listed anywhere in the pane.
Using Motion 3.0.2.... Did something change and they didn't change the manual to match? Or is there some setting elsewhere that's making that option disappear?
Thanks!!!
Nick

Howdy,
The "3rd party plug-ins" section in the Library and preferences really refers to AE plug-ins. Third-party FxPlug plug-ins (like dvMatte or Boris Continuum) show up mixed in with the regular filters and generators.
That "3rd party plug-ins" path setting in the preferences doesn't appear on Intel-based Macs, as they're no longer supported. If you have a PowerPC system, they'll show up (and so will the setting).

Our converted eCourses often freeze when launched from our new 3rd party hosted LMS...

We have recently purchased a new externally hosted LMS system (Silkroad's GreenLight) and we have a 3rd party taking our older authorware courses (which are working) and updating/converting them using Adobe Captivate 5.5. Once these are done and uploaded into the LMS system, users are finding sporadic freezing at launch of the converted courses. In some cases we are using a Riverbed solution to compress content so that network performance is not an issue. With the various components involved in this situation. we are having a hard time troubleshooting and narrowing down the problem as it is so inconsistent. I noticed a blog http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/kb/projects-published-captivate-5-lms.html suggesting a fix and we tried this with one user it worked with another it did not. Our environment consist of XP (and some Win7), Adobe Flash Player 10+, and IE8 or 9. Can anyone tell us what the proposed template fix described in the blog is actually doing? Or if you've experienced this problem and have another fix we could try? Any help is appreciated....Getting desperate. Thanks!

I believe the patches offered in that post were to address an issue that sometimes occurs with Resume Data bookmarking in certain LMSs.
If you are currently using Resume Data bookmarking, try disabling it by checking the box in LMS Customisation dialog to Never Send Resume Data. If that resolves your issue, you at least know what is causing it.
In cases where there are a large number of variables, the only way to diagnose the issue may be to remove as many variables as possible first. Then when you finally get to a stable version that does not misbehave, you then re-introduce the other components to find the one/s that re-introduce the issue.
So, in your case, you may need to look at how your developers are 'converting' the authorware content in Captivate. Make sure they recreate everything using Captivate components, and insert the images via the approved menus etc. I'd also temporarily avoid using this Riverbed compression solution until you have established the cause of your issue. It may be interferring with something.

Reframing my Question for RESTful 3rd Party WebService

My last posted question did not produce any feedback for what I was looking for, so I'm trying this again.
I have a Driver entity, and an gpsVehicleData entity. Drivers can have one gpsVehicleData (relationship)
In a grid screen I use; for THE most basic understanding I can get, I have one field I need updated from my 3rd party webservice. We'll call it gpsVehicleData.MotionStatus, and I need to use Driver.DriverID in the service to find his MotionStatus.
This is the example connection snippet I was given by the vendor.
Dim responseData As String = ""
Dim uri As String = "http://ws.samplegps.com/DriverWebService.svc/drivers/"
Dim request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(uri)
request.Method = "GET"
Dim companyLoginId As String = "12345"
Dim username As String = "John"
Dim password As String = "Doe4321"
Dim auth As String = companyLoginId + "|" + username + ":" + password
Dim authHeader As String = Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(auth))
request.Headers("Authorization") = authHeader
Try
Dim httpWebResponse As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()
If httpWebResponse.StatusCode = Net.HttpStatusCode.OK Then
Dim responseStream As IO.StreamReader = New IO.StreamReader(httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream())
responseData = responseStream.ReadToEnd()
Console.WriteLine(responseData)
Console.ReadKey()
End If
Catch ex As Exception
responseData = "An error occured: " & ex.Message
Console.WriteLine(responseData)
Console.ReadKey()
Great. So this works when I run in it's own solution, and it pops up a console window and shows all data for each of my drivers. My problem is, I cannot find an example I can follow to update the Motion property in EACH ROW (each driver of my Screen with
this snippet.
(A button function seems appropriate instead of Validate method, but honestly as long as it works I don't care.
This is the closest I have found but I'm not using Soap.
LightSwitch - Consuming Web Services
This is too, but much different than the first example!
Calling Web Services to Validate Data in Visual Studio LightSwitch
One example has something and not the other, and the other example has this but not that. Very frustrating for a new person!
I do not need to dive into RIA right now which has been suggested before.
I know I am not very knowledgeable in VB, but I need to use something applicable to my environment I can make more sense of. Thanks in advance

This is the closest I have found but I'm not using Soap.

From your description, you can consider using method above, as I know, this way is available/convenient for your situation.

Resolving how 3rd party apps show free space?

I've recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and am now just learning about "Local Backups" and how they work. This seems like a pretty neat feature and great extra data protection. However, I now have trouble with 3rd party apps that monitor and notify about free space. (ie iStat Menus, TechTool Pro, Disk Inventory X). As I said, I think this new feature is great for added data protection, but it seems it has a huge flaw if it is going to make all other applications show incorrect Used/Free space. In fact, since the Local Backup seems to use as much space as it can and will only free the space as needed, it seems every application or tool will show that the disk is always on the verge of being completely full. Has anyone found ways around this? Or are there any good apps that monitor and/or display free space (like iStat Menus) that can account for, or rather disregard, the space being used by Local Backup in the same way that the Finder window seems to? I hope that in future OS updates, Apple does something about this like making the space used by Local Backup hidden in some way.

Sorry, you didn't get my point:
'Unintentional' means accidentally. I always wonder how people can delete files 'accidentally', requiring trashing them and then, in a second step, empty the trash.
I do not empty my trash before having backed up, as I was pointing out. If I did, it would not be 'unintentionally'. It would be intentionally. And I should get fired. Unless I can have the backup drive there within 40 minutes.
My point is, YOU're heading to work in the morning, not having backed up for the past 2 weeks to the external disk since your backup is always with you on your 4 months old Mac, still under warranty and unlikely to break anyway. Crossing the street from the parking lot, you need to jump to avoid some crazy driver. You make it, only your laptop slips from under your arm, drops onto the tar, and worse, before you can grab it, that bus is rolling over it. The HDD/SSD/whatever is history, and so is your work and some other important coroprate docs worth 2 weeks. Will you continue to walk into the office to resign, or will you ask the bus driver to run you over as well, please?
My view is unchanged.
Can we stop this here, please? My data is safe, and yours I've written off a while ago.

Possible to control 3rd party plugin/palette?

Is it possible to write something (JavaScript/COM programming/plugin) that has access to a 3rd party plugin/palette? I'm talking about XMPie uDirect. XMPie doesn't offer an official API for the plugin but I want to invoke a special action automatically that can be accessed only by the plugin's InDesign palette. I want some kind of automation.

This won't work, sorry. The palette cannot be controlled through the menus... except showing/hiding it.
I got the same idea with system events. It would be great to have a program that sniffs system events and gives information when I press a special button in the InDesign palette. The 3rd party plugin should be a kind of library like DLL that exports functions. Does anybody know a program that can monitor InDesign.exe with all its sub-processes, DLL handles and called DLL functions?
[Edit:] I tried a DLL viewer which can open and show XMPie's plugin files XMPBackEnd5.apln and XMPFrontEnd5.apln (APLN = InDesign PlugIn). They seem to be normal DLL files. If anybody knows the secrets of "decrypting" DLLs it would be nice to know if this can help me. I need to invoke the plugin's commands for XMPie's "Dynamic Print" (new dialog opens) and then just confirm with "OK" to start the export.

Text transitions, 3rd party plug-ins, etc.

This seems so simple, but I cannot find it anywhere. I am using motion to create moving pictures and text. I want the text to blur in and out slowly (all of the letters at the same time). I found the text sequence blur but the letters will only be in sequence like left to right or random, correct? I have looked for 3rd party plug-ins but can't find anything as simple as a transitional blur for text. Any suggestions?
Thank you!!

You can modify any of the text sequence behaviors in any way imaginable. Try increasing the Spread value to spread out the animation. Or, just add a blur filter to the text and keyframe the blur amount to change over time.

Problem with 3rd Party Plug-Ins

I am running Logic Pro 7 and recently a majority of my 3rd party plug-ins quit working. When I try to load the plug-ins or open a song that uses the plug-ins, Logic unexpectedly quits. Some of the plug-ins that cause the problem are:
Spectrasonics Trilogy and Atmosphere
Plugsounds PS01-06
Ueberschall BPM120 and PLP120
Native Instruments Kompakt
This has happened before, but for some reason within two or three weeks, they just magically started working again. I could use an update on my OS (10.3.9) and some updates are available for the plug-ins, but why wouldn't everything continue to work as it had if nothing has changed? And is this absolutely necessary because I'd rather not because I'd have to update everything.

Did you update or change ANYTHING on your system? I've learnt that once I have a stable system, DONT upgrade unless you HAVE to, as updated plugins are designed to work on the most recent software, and sometimes dont get tested and/or work with "older" systems.
However, if you have not changed anything and are getting these problems, the most likely cause is either song corruption (though you said this is happening on multiple songs, so I doubt thats the problem) or preference corruption, which happened to me just a few months ago. Dont ask me how things get corrupted, but when they do you start to experience random weirdness. For example, recently all my songs stared giving me "memory errors" on stuff that use to playback fine. Once I rebuilt my preferences, every was stable again.
Here is a link to troubleshooting tips created by Bee Jay (a wise poster here). Follow them and they should fix your problems:
http://logicquicktips.blogspot.com/2006/10/troubleshooting-logic.html
Note: if you created any custom key commands for logic, do not trash your old preferences, as you can import your key commands from this file. Check your manual under import key commands. Here is a link to the PDF of the manual, which is easier to search:http://www.apple.com/support/logic/
If you want to turn off your plugins just to see if they are at fault (though it sounds to me like song/prefs corruption, not plugin problems) use the AU
manager. I'm not in front of Logic right now, but I believe its under either the apple pulldown menu, or the file menu, or one of the other menus "up top."
(sorry for my bad description). If you still cant find it, let me know and I'll look it up, but as I said, this sound like a corruption issue and not an issue with your plugins.
Best of luck!

I can't get 3rd party plug-ins to work

I downloade the delirium plug-ins from digidesign (the demo) and when I go to motion to open up the 3rd party plug-ins...nothing is there..I went to preferences and changed it in there...but still no luck...I even renamed the folder "3rd party plug-ins" and went back to preferences and did what the manual said...still no-luck....I was under he impression (from a earlier post), that these plug-ins work with motion as well as after-effects

Heya,
I have Delerium loaded, with no problems. I just keep a folder called "AE Plugs" where I store all my installed plug-ins, and I set the preference in Motion to look at that folder. They show up in the "3rd Party Filters" category in the Library.

Any 3rd party tools to convert FORMS to XML and back?

The Oracle conversion tool that comes with 10g Forms gives errors.
I was wondering whether there any any 3rd party tools?
I searched to net with no success.
I bumped into one site which gave these 2: FormGreg or FormsTool (http://www.orcl-toolbox.com/formstool.asp).
FormGreg is not available (I Googled but no success) and FormsTool (I downloaded and installed) has no XML conversion tools.

Hi,
Thanks so much for replying. I posted the errors here (no answers though):
