Animation Background Changes/Differs

When I import .gif animations with a clear (white)
background, it frequently changes to a BLACK background. The image
saves successfully but it's during the import when it switches. Any
ideas why?
Chuck

Hi Chuck
I wish I had an answer. Unfortunately the same thing happens
to me.
I always figured it was something to do with either the
Transparent Color used or possibly the method that was used to
animate the GIF.
Cheers... Rick

Change different background color in row grid

Hi,
i want to change different background color in row grid..ex.two different colors should continue in all row grid..pls guide me ..
Regards,
Senthil.

Hi Senthil,
If I understand you correctly, you wish to show a grid with alternating colours down the rows.
You have a few options:
1) Apply a stylesheet nd display it as HTML. But this solution lacks the advantages of the iGrid
2) Return a field with alternating 1's and 0's in the query and use this field in the Colour-Context mapping
3) Use JavaScript to loop through each row and set alternating background cell colour for all columns
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jai.

Add length to animated background clip--how does one do that?

Howdy there,
I am kind of new with Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express...I just purchased some animated clips off a website to use as a background for a foreground clip after getting the chroma key worked out with the green screen thing. What i am struggling with is to add length to the animated background clips. I can easily do that with still image where i can just change the time length but with a video, i.e. a .mov file used in the V1 track to go with a video in the V2 track it would not let me do that. The animated background clips that i have are something like 30 seconds long and i want to make them to be as long as i want them to be.
By the way, on my MacBook it is Final Cut Express, so i don't know if that makes a difference in having such capacity.
Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

You could change the speed of the animated clip. But if you want a longer clip without a speed change, you'll have to either buy the length you need, use a loopable clip, or make your own.

Background changes for every button?

Hello, I am using encore 5.1 and I was wondering if it's possible to have the background change every time I go from one button to the next withtout actually changing menus?
I would like to do something like in the video I'm linking (watch only the first 10 seconds to get an idea of what I'm talking about). Granted, in the video, what's running is a program and not a dvd menu, but is something similar possible in encore?

I know I can make it so I go on a button, click enter, this brings me to a new menu with a new background, but I want to cut on the amount of menus. I like the idea of the background changing automatically without having to go to a new menu.
Thanks for your time and help!

When using dupe Menus and Auto Activate, I strongly recommend that one sketch out the flowchart first, and also think about using Button and Menu names, that relate directly to where they need to Link. With a bunch of Buttons, it can get involved pretty quickly. With a bit of planning, things will be much easier. I usually will layout my flowchart in Adobe Illustrator, and use the images of my Menus, in that image. It really helps me plan things. However, using AI might be overkill for some Projects, and a pencil and paper would do the job.
Good luck, and remember, if played on a computer, the effect will not be so fluid, as the user must click on the "original" Menu to get to the "dupe" Menu with the different background - just a limitation of Auto Activate on a computer. In a DVD player, it will be pretty seamless, and can look beautiful. I use this general technique to create what appear to be Sub-picture Highlights, that are really graphics.

When I test my animation it runs differently from when I drag the timline

When I test my animation it runs differently from when I drag
the timline.
I have a mask with text under it and I reveal the text from
left to right with a rectangular mask. I then squish and then
desquish the test. In the movie it does none of this.

Select the text field on the stage and in the properties
panel at the bottom of the screen you will see a small drop down
menu which will be displaying either static, input or dynamic. Just
change it to static OR if you NEED to use dynamic text then you
need to embed yopur font so select the text field and select embed
from the properties panel, then select the oprion you need from
there.
Hope this helps
Thanks Alan

Satellite A500-13F - strange noise when background changes

I hear "zzzzzzzzz" when the background change and when i switch from open page to other one;
I tried to change the audio driver from realtek but it doesn't work and when i played, it be very strong and get high...
Please help me !!!

Hi
As far as I know the Realtek sound driver install additional Realtek HD audio Manager which contains a lot of different settings which could change the sound properties.
Usually you can find the Realtek HD audio manager in control panel.
Please check all the possible options
Otherwise it would be advisable to contact an ASP technician for hardware check
I mean if this issue still persists even after system recovery, then a hardware check should be done

Animated background with command buttons

Is it possible to make an animated background in Muse and transition the animation through buttons?

Here's a guess...
I would say that the only way you can make an animated background is with a .gif image. But then you can't use buttons.
==> But a work around would be that you can make a master with your animation with buttons. Then by using that as the master, when you add the rest of your content to your pages (that use that master), it won't be shifted or moved while your setting up the pages.
==> You can also put your animation with buttons on a page as the back most item then after you have them where you want them - lock them.
I would suggest you do one of these options anyway because until browsers change their mode of dialing up, background images for some silly reason are always the last to dial up. So by doing one of these methods your animation would start appearing quicker.
Hope this helps, all I can think of.

My Mac's background changed to white and i can't change it back

Dear anybody,
Yesterday I plugged in my external harddisk, and I just moving some folders from one partition to another. then in the middle of progress, it opened an error window and the external hd disappeared from my desktop icon and finder. I tried to plugged out and plugged in again but it's not recognized until I restarted it. and the process of restarting takes about 5minutes (it's not usual since I just need about 30-60secs to reboot my mac). then I logged in and my background changed to white. I thought it was missing my bg pict, then I searched for the picture and set it again as desktop background but nothing happened. it's still white. but the strange is when I press f9 or f10 button (expose), I saw the picture on my background and a lot of windows exposed, then when I click one of the window, it disappeared again, changed to white.
so, please anybody who had ever gotten this kinda problem, help me out. Thanks for your attention!

Background Change Picture Feature Not Working

I have had my macbook pro for about 6 months now and my change background feature worked fine when I first got it. I could add folders of pictures and tell it change ever 5 seconds and it worked. Over time, I messed with my dock settings and background settings with other third party programs and stuff and decided I didn't like them so I would just go back to the features built into Leopard. I tried to do a random, change every 5 seconds background change folder deal the other day and it never would change. I tried doing it on the default folders like the apple images and the nature ones and stuff but it would never change. I can still add folders. I can click the option of random order and change every x times. When I close out my system preferences, it resets what I did. I go back to my background panel and they are unchecked. How can I fix this and is anyone else having this problem?

delete the file com.apple.desktop.plist from homedirectory/Library/Preferences and log out/in. You background settings should be set to defaults and you should be able to change them as you like.

The background changes from solid dark grey to solid dark aqua blue, when I make a quick user change. It happens automatically. Even when both desktops have the same (dark grey) background. This is a mess. Is it a bug?

Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac.

Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac. I have background switching unchecked in my preferences, and I have never selected it as an option. Also, when I go to my preferences, it will show the icon of the picture I changed it to, even though the desktop itself has switched back.

I would start with some basic troubleshooting.
