Am I approaching this fold animation the correct way?

Hi guys,
I am using Flash CS6 on OSX 10.8.2. I am trying to create an animation of a box that is folded in half down the middle before opening up with a concertina movement. (I've attached an image that will hopefully be able to explain what I am trying to make a little better!)
This is how I have gone about trying to achieve this:
I have created two rectangle shapes each on a separate layers and converted them to movie symbols.
The top symbol has a nested animation which is a 3D rotation.
The 3D rotation centre point is set on the centre of the top edge of the symbol and rotates on the x-axis.
The bottom symbol has essentially the same nested animation however with the 3D rotation centre point set on the centre of the bottom edge.
The bottom symbol then has a motion tween (not nested) to move downwards as the nested animations play.
As the animation is playing though I am having a bit of a problem making everything line up correctly! I've tried few other ways of trying to achieve this (shape tween) but with no real luck. Am I approaching this the right way? If anybody had any feedback or advice I would really appreciate it! I'm trying to get the basic animation correct first before I make it more complicated!
Thanks in advance
Henry

Hi Ned
Thank you for your advice it was very helpful. I did as you suggested the panels now move together seamlessly when they rotate
I have been experimenting this afternoon and added two more pannels. My only problem now is that I am having trouble getting everything to line up properly after the animations are complete. Allthough each panel is set to rotate at the same angle for the direction it is suppose to rotate in everything looks out of place on the final frame. Has this something to do with the perspective and vanishing points? The vanishing point is currently set at the center of the stage and the perspective angle is 55. (I've attached the another image so you can see what I mean!)
Also I was wondering why sometimes when I try to edit the co-ordinates for the 3D centre point in the transform panel that it automatically defaults to another value? Say for example I set the centre point on the X-axis to 200 pixels on an object sometimes it automatically defaults to 201.1 or 198.9.
Thanks again for your help.

I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.

Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

Hi,
I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder. "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
The files we're shot with HD cameras. Edited in Premiere Pro CS3. I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash. I tried this twice....
    Thanks in Advance

Hi Hunt,
       Here is the skinny. A window base PC. footage shot with HD sony HD cameras, Project imported to Premiere CS3. Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality. Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3. After about ten files or so. I got the error message. Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch. Even build a new test project with the same problem.
    Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded. So it will be a double compression and I dont want that. So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
   what do you think ????

Is this possible and the best way to approach this?

hello all, back again with more questions
What I would like to do is load an external swf (preloader) into a container swf, when the preloader swf is loaded, run code from the preloader's document class that will check to see if the container swf is fully loaded. Once the container swf is fully loaded, load in another swf and unload the preloader swf.
I would like to keep all code in external classes and off timelines while creating a situation where I can load this preloader swf into any parent swf and do that check. is this possible and the best way to approach this?
any advice/help would be great.

Why not just do it the more straightforward/normal way and use the preloader to load your other files? The preloader would load the 'container' you have now, and when it's done load the other swf you mentioned.

Ok, does anyone know the correct way to do this

Hi all
would someone beable to explain the correct way of attaching dynamic text to a rotaing menu so that the text moves with the image as it rotates,
I am now being told that in order to have dynamic text rotate/move I have to embed the font, by placing a text field on the stage outside my flash area and then set embedFonts property to true, and then apply a textformat.
first, is this the correct way of doing it?
second, can someone please explain(by breaking down into steps, as I am a newbie) how I go about setting embedFonts property to true and applying a textformat.
what I have created;
1.)I created a movieclip called 'textHolder' inside this has two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' & 'bodyText' <<<<< IS THIS CORRECT?
2.)I have an xml file which will load the text in as well as the images with the rotating menu, see below; <<<IS THIS CORRECT????
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data>
<image name="image 1" path="img/img1.jpg"
    textHolder.headerText="Sunset"
    textHolder.bodyText="The hour of night is near, as the skies get blood-filled" />

In my case its a new computer the old one was stolen and the time machine disk did not work for a restore but did for copying the info to the new mac

I have a macbook air late 2010 and keep getting a warning that my hard drive is full and to delete things so I purchased a external hard drive (1TB) but I'm just not sure what the correct way to transfer and store files to the external drive is. First MAC

I purchased a macbook air about 5 months ago and lately i keep recieving a warning that the hard drive or disk is full and that I will need to move items to trash in order to free up space on it. I purchased a external hard drive 1 TB but I'm very new to mac and ios and unsure as to how I'm suppose to transfer my files (video, pics, music etc.) from my mac over to the external hard drive in the correct way so I won't end up deleting them permenately or screwing anything up with my mac as far as the applications and programs being able to run. Am I supposed to just copy to the external hard drive and then move to and empty the trash? That's pretty much all I could come up with, but then what if i need or want to access that file again at a later time. Also, I have an i Phone and i pad so with i cloud it automatically syncs all my purcheses and if i delete something from itunes on my mac it deletes from my ipad.
I'd appreciate any kind of input i think im just a little lost here. I have to say i love my Mac and wouldn't trade it for anything (except maybe a macbook pro w/more memory)... Is there something I'm missing???

To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

OBIEE 11G Calculation the Correct Way

Hi All,
My requirement is like this that I want to calculate value Gross Profit which is simple Total Revenue - Total Expense. Now I want this to act as a Hierarchy i.e Gross Profit should be drill able to Total Revenue followed by Total Expenses. For this I created a Accounts Dimension table since no Drill Down facility is available on Fact Table(Therefore I had to move my Accounts to Dimension table rather than Fact Table). Now the problem is that there is no minus based aggregation present in OBIEE BMM layer because of which my all other sum based aggregation work correctly except where there is a negative based aggregation required like in the case of Gross Profit. Kindly Suggest what is the correct way to approach this problem. I am working on OBIEE 11g in this case.
Warm Regards
Abhishek Kapoor

Financial reporting is difficult in BI because of the user preference of how to see signs on different accounts and requirements for adding/subtracting depending on the type of account.
A few ways to approach:
a. Use case statement to make total rev and total expense columns. Subtract to build a gross profit column. You can do this in the presentation services front end or the BMM.
b. If you have opposite natural signs for rev and exp, you can create an account hierarchy in the account table which will net out to gross profit. Ex:
Column 1 – account number
Column 2 – hierarchy level 1, ex Gross Profit
Column 3 – hierarchy level 2, ex Rev or exp
Column 4 – account name
Etc…
c. Remember you can always build your own drilldown using navigation links to a report instead of the built-in drilldown.
Good luck!

Attn - The correct way to connect to the repository

From iFS Product Management.
Many people appear to be having trouble connecting to the repository and are using the wrong API calls to do. The recommended API calls changed between beta and production. For the production release here is the correct way to connect:
1. Four pieces of information are need to connect to the repository
1. The iFS User Name
2. The iFS User's password
3. The properties file to be used
4. The database password of the user who owns the iFS Schema
This is different from the beta where the database password was hardcoded into the properties file.
Note that any TNSNAMES information is still containing in the databaseURL entry in the properties file.
package ifs.demo.samples;
import oracle.ifs.beans.*;
import oracle.ifs.common.*;
import java.util.Locale;
public class ConnectionTester extends Object {
public static LibrarySession testConnection()
throws IfsException
LibraryService service = new LibraryService();
CleartextCredential me = new CleartextCredential("gking","ifs");
ConnectOptions connect = new ConnectOptions();
connect.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
connect.setServiceName("IfsDefault");
connect.setServicePassword("manager");
return service.connect(me,connect);
public static void main(String[] args)
try {
LibrarySession ifs = testConnection();
ifs.disconnect();
} catch (IfsException e) {
IfsException.setVerboseMessage(true);
e.printStackTrace();
Note that in this example "gking" is the iFS user name, "ifs" is the gking user's ifs password. "manager" is the password of the database user who owns the iFS Schema.
"IfsDefault" is the server properties file that describes the ifs connection. This file is in called "IfsDefault.properties" and is located in the package oracle.ifs.server.properties". This means that the folder that contains the 'oracle' folder that is the root of this package must be referenced in the class path when running this example.
Note, if you use the older, 3 argument form of the connect you will get an unable to connect exception as the iFS will not have the Schema Password.
null

When I run the example below on Solaris (after setting the CLASSPATH etc., I get a oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-21008: Login Failure
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10170: Invalid name/credential.
(I am providing all 4 pieces of information for connecting)
When using the web interface the same userid and password work fine (system/manager).
Please help.....

What is the correct way to format file paths and names in the structapp file?

I am trying to create a structured application to export fm files as xml, and probably read the xml back to fm.
In the structured application file (structapp), I need to specify the locations of the various files (DTD, read/write, template, etc). I would like to place these files on a shared server so others can use the same structapp file (that is, a cop of it). What is the correct way to format the file paths and names? Can folders folder names and file names have spaces in them? I tried the following, for example:
\\serverName\shareName\folder 1\folder 2\file name.dtd
I use the same format for the template file and the read/write rules file.
When I try to save an fm file to xml, FrameMaker says that it cannot read the DTD; however, the resulting xml file appears to be well-formed. The DOCTYPE element in the resulting xml is formatted with forward slashes and spaces replaced with %20.
I tried using forward slashes and replacing spaces with %20, but then I get an error about reading the read/write rules.
NOTE: I have another structured application to read xml into fm. This application does not have a DTD file. The template and read/write rules files are specified as above. Except for complaining about a lack of a DTD, the application works fine; it even applies an XSLT in the process. Again, when I DO add a DTD to this latter application, I get the same complaint about not being able to read the DTD.
I am using fully patched FrameMaker 9 in Windows XP.
Thanks,
Van

Hi Van,
The XML parser and FrameMaker are not the same thing. The Error Log says which component created which message. The XSL processor is another option that can throw messages. The "\\server\path\some.dtd" syntax in structapps.fm seems to be fine for some tools, as Internet Explorer with XML tools successfully finds the DTD which appears as "//server/path/some.dtd" in the XML. But apparently Xerxes, the XML parser bundled with FrameMaker, does not like this notation.
If you have a path with a drive letter, "H:\path\some.dtd", FrameMaker turns that into "file:///H:/path/some.dtd". It seems, Xerces would like to see "file:/" in front of absolute paths.
This is what I have in structapps.fm:
Template: \\server\path\projecttemplate.fm
DTD: some.dtd
Read/write rules: \\server\path\projectrules.txt
DOCTYPE: …
Entity locations
Entity search paths
1: \\server\path\
In the structapps.fm I have the DTD without path information. The resulting XML (without XSL postprocessing) then contains just the file name with a relative path back to the book folder (when saving a book as XML). It therefore requires the DTD to be available at this place. I handle this using an event script that fires for NotePreSaveXml and copies the DTD to the folder of the original document.
As I always use XSL postprocessing and using XSLT1 it is not possible to have the doctype-system as a parameter I have this in my XSL stylesheet:
<xsl:output doctype-system="some.dtd" />
For the resulting XML the DTD is expected to be in the same folder as the XML file. This is handled by the same event script as above, it therefore copies the DTD to the source and the target folder.
Bottom line: If you want/have to use UNC paths, you have to do some programming to work around a FrameMaker bug.

[JSF 1.2] - Role Based Web Application: Whats the correct way of doing it?

Hello,
i have a web application that in some pages is role based. I have two database tables, Role and Permissions. Role can have 1..N Permissions and vice versa.
In one page i need to render some forms depending on user role.
What is the best approach to this?
1. I have a sessionBean and on login load all the permissions (it's less secure but faster) based on user role;
2. Everytime i use rendered="#{sessionBean.checkPermissions['can-create']}" i query the database. This checkPermissions gets the user role and retrieve all permissions of that user on demand;
The first option is faster but while the user is logged if permissions changes we might have problems.
The second, if i user 3 rendered attributes i do 3 queries to the database.
Is rendered attribute the correct implementation?
Regards.

Yes, the rendered attribute is the correct way to accomplish this.
As to the question of caching the result or querying the database each time, that is something that needs to be answered on an application by application basis.

What is the correct way to set up a new Mac

A friend of mine recently migrated from Windows and bought himself an iMac. He got the local Apple store to set up his iMac and migrate his data from his Windows to his iMac. I was recently helping him set up a few a additional things on his iMac and was supprised to see how the Apple store had set up the machine.
There was only one account set up on the iMac and all of the user data had been loaded into this admin account. Now I've only been a Mac user for about 5 years, but I was always taught create an admin account with no data on it and then set up a separate user account(s) which contain all the user data and these are used by the users to log in.
Now my question is who is right the Apple shop or me? I would e intertested to hear any experts views on the correct way to set up an OSX machine.

Both of you. Either way is acceptable. However, for a single user machine there's really no need to have more than the admin account.

What is the correct way to add styling to drag-and-drop created calendars?

I have a working instance of a rich client calendar. I generated the view with the required fields (start, stop, provider, ...), put it into the App Module, and dragged it onto a JSF page to create a calendar.
Next I created an activityScope object in a class called CalendarBean (no inheritance)
Class CalendarBean()
private HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles> activityColorMap;
+..+
+public CalendarBean() {+
super();
activityColorMap = new HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles>();
HashSet setEd = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setLen = new HashSet<String>();
setEd.add("Work");
setLen.add("Home");
activityColorMap.put(setEd, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.ORANGE));
activityColorMap.put(setLen, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.RED));
+}+
+}+
Next, I linked this up as a backing bean and associated the ActivityStyles of CalendarBean to it:
+#{backingBeanScope.calendarBean.activityColorMap}+
I populated some records in the database with properties "Work" and "Ed', but they show default blue.
As I understand it, I need to do something with the getTags() method of the underlying CalendarActivity class, but I'm not quite sure how to do that.
Took a stab at creating a class, CalendarActivityBean, that extended CalendarActivity, and pointed all the CalendarActivity references I had to the new class, but it didn't seem to fire (in debug), and I got into trouble, when inserting records, with
public void calendarActivityListener(CalendarActivityEvent calendarActivityEvent) {
currActivity = (CalendarActivityBean) calendarActivityEvent.getCalendarActivity();
being an illegal cast
What is the correct way to add provider-based styling to drag-and-drop create calendars?

no that's wrong. this is TM exclusion list. you add items there that you DO NOT want to be backed up. so currently your whole hard drive is excluded. remove it from there if you want it to be backed up. the only thing that should be present on that list by default is the TM backup drive itself.
btw, see pondini's TM FAQs for more info on using TM

Is there one tell me the correct way to access remote SQL server

Hi
I have tried to access a remote SQL server by many ways but all failed
here is my trying :
String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://217.52.98.102:1433";
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"sa"," " );
String selectStr = "select * from FleetWatch..table_name";
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(selectStr);
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());
// connect to the DB by using the driver.
String connString = "217.52.98.102:1433;databasename=FleetWatch";
String strDBConnect = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://" + connString;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(strDBConnect, "sa", "");
String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
Class driverClass = Class.forName(driver, true, jdbcLoader);
Driver currDriver = (Driver)driverClass.newInstance();
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty("sa", (String)paras.get("sa");
prop.setProperty("password", (String)paras.get(" ");
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://217.52.98.102:1433";
conn = currDriver.connect((String)paras.get(url, prop);
pls tell if you know the correct way to access a remote sql server and
access it befor tell me its step to ensure it's connect

String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://your servername:1433";
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"username ","password " );
this user name and password may be diff becoz if u have only sql authentication then u have to know that user name or it can have windows nt authentication so if it is so then no probs can use ur windows nt login..
know the server name where ur sqlserver is connected to.
set the classpath for the sqlserverdrivers jar files which u have downloaded where ur working on.
then it works
i did the same and worked for me.
try it.

Am I approaching this fold animation the correct way?
