Animation : focus on a region

Hi,
I have in my flash animation a face.
for example, i would like to focus on the nose.
therefore i would like to have 2 types of animation :
1. a zoom on the nose
2. to make understand end user that the nose is the topic of
this
animation part, to make something like a hollow (blue, red or
yellow, it
does not matter) around the nose and to make it blinking or
pulsing.
How can i do those 2 things ?
thanks a lot,
RAF.

I don't think so. One other thing is to insert javascript to the page from the code (backing bean):
                FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
                ExtendedRenderKitService service = (ExtendedRenderKitService)
                Service.getRenderKitService(facesContext, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
                service.addScript(facesContext, "alert(\"Hello!\");");Pedja

  • SAP GUI 7.20 and Animated Messages in Status Bar

    Hello Experts,
    Is there a way to disable "animated" display of messages in status bar when Signature Design is active? Currently messages are scrolled from left to right and then fade in. (Please note that this is a different from "Animated Focus" or "Animation" feature and only unique to Signature Design Theme). It would be nice to disable the animation so messages are immediately displayed without disabling Signature Design. I have asked this question in the past and there was basically no way to accomplish this. Is there any hope that this would be included in future patches for SAP GUI 7.20?
    Thank you!
    Abdul

    Daniel,
    Have you had any luck with this issue?  We recently installed SAP GUI 7.20 patch 2 and are having similar issues.  While working in t-code SWDD, "Workflow Builder", I am automatically logged out of SAP and the LOGON pad also closes out and I forced to sign back in.  This is happening when I drag and drop an event into a step and enter in information that should normally prompt a warning/error message after hitting the "Enter" key.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Reset CSS Animation With Java?

    I'm having trouble trying to reset my css animation after its clicked. Once the animation is clicked on it will not show the animation if clicked again. How can I have my animation reset after 2 seconds?
    Heres the HTML:

                            <section id="download" title="Download ASC">
                                Download
                            </section>
    Here is the CSS:
    .animated {

        -webkit-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
        -moz-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
        -o-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
        -ms-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
        animation:fadeOutUp 2s;

    .fadeOutUp {
    -webkit-animation-name: fadeOutUp;
    -moz-animation-name: fadeOutUp;
    -o-animation-name: fadeOutUp;
    animation-name: fadeOutUp;
    And here is the Java Script
    </script>
    <script language="javascript">
    window.onload = function() {
    var btn = document.getElementById("download");
    btn.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
      this.className = "animated";
    </script>
    Any Help would be greatly appreciated!

    You could use the css pseudo class :focus to fire the animation. That way, if they click on anything after clicking the Download button (like the OK or Cancel box in the download prompt), and then click the button again, it would fire the animation. You'd need to add a tabindex attribute to the link to make it work in -webkit, but that's easy enough. You wouldn't need javascript for it at all.

  • Ihab's Lenovo K900 Review

    Hello everyone How are you all doing? I just finished the write up of the Lenovo K900 Reivew. I hope you like it, and if you would like to see larger/full resolution images of the ones posted here you can check out the review over at ihabstech.com. Enjoy!
    Yes, Lenovo make smartphones worldwide now. I thought that would be an appropriate opening since I keep getting the question mark look on people’s faces when looking at the phone placed in front of me and then ask “Lenovo make phones?”.
    At first I didn’t even realize they had phones and when I did, I was surprised they actually had quite a decent range. Not only that, they had their own Lenovo UI of Android. It seems they have been working really hard to get great devices out and guess which device I managed to get my hands on? The flagship. How exciting! So, lets take a look at this phone.
    That is not a perfectly angled shot to make the device appear really thin.. Okay it is, but the device really is thin! it’s stated at 6.9mm only!
    Quick Spec Sheet
    You have to re-think your understanding of big phones with the K900, the dimensions are 157 x 78 x 6.9 mm! So it is pretty huge, but in exchange for carrying the sizeable device (or phablet if you want to call it that) you get a 5.5 inch Full HD IPS screen with about 400 PPI with the screen resolution of 1920×1080 (It is very responsive and even recognizes use with fingernails and pens) above the screen sits an aray of sensors and a 2MP fixed-focus camera. Taking a step deeper into the device, we find an Intel® Atom™ Z2760 Dual Core™ 4-thread processor running up to 2.0 GHz with 2GB of RAM. The graphics centre is an Intel® GMA graphics with 533MHz clock, and both assist in running Android 4.2.1. All this powerful hardware comes in a Brushed Stainless Steel, Polycarbonate and Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2 package that weighs 162 grams. On the back is the 13MP camera with auto-focus and dual flash, capable of full 1080[ video at 30 FPS. In regards to communication, it has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 and HSPA+ (up to 42MBPS) and wireless hotspot functionality. As for sensors, the K900 has A-GPS, Gravitation (I am guess a gyroscope?), Ambient light sensor and a Proximity sensor.
    Box Contents
    This is always the excitement of opening a box of a brand you have never dealt with before, I had no clue what to expect.
    The box had a cover which had the K900 branding in a huge cut out. Being that the box was black it didn’t make sense. Till..
    The inside of that cover was in red! So taking the box out lights up the K900 branding. Sexy! Lifting the cover reveals the phone. In first impressions I thought the phone was going to be smaller than the big box, turns out it was the size of the box.
    I know there isn’t anything out of the ordinary to expect in an unboxing, and so nothing unusual here. A Micro-USB Cable, a pair of ordinary Headphones and a SIM-Card ejector tool attached to the small manuals card. Weirdly, I have not received a wall charger, but I have so many of them laying around there is no problems and of course, the retail units will have one without a doubt.
    Design, Body and Display
    The device is a very good looking device despite its large size. I have used many devices over the past few months from iPhones, Galaxies, HTC Ones (Normal and Mini) and others and not a single one got the stares and questions asked as the Lenovo K900. It does have a personality and it is eye catching.
    To start things off, lets talk about the front (Apologies for the low quality pictures) From the top sits a small cut out for the speaker and to the left the front facing camera. The sensors are nearly impossible to notice, perfect integration that is. Lenovo branding in the center and then the huge screen all the way till the bottom where three Android buttons sit, Back, Home and Options/Settings.
    Flipping the phone to the back is where things start to get an even more premium look. Up top sits the 13MP camera, Dual-Flash and the secondary noise cancelling microphone, then comes what appears to be a back cover, but it isn’t removable. It’s in stainless steel brushed with 4 corner screws to make it look somewhat industrial? I think it has a nice touch. There is an engraved Lenovo logo towards the top and below sits the Intel logo. Finally towards the bottom sits the loud speaker.
    For all of you wondering about the stainless steel durability with us, yes the sides do scratch up a bit. I could recommend trying to find a case but I just think it looks so good without one. Also, not too sure you can find a case that easily as well.
    They kept the design clean, which means there is nothing to the top of the device. I think with a device this big, anything on the top would be suicidal because it would drop functionality dramatically. Fortunately, the 3.5mm headphone jack, Micro-USB port and primary microphone are on the bottom with nothing on the top. Thanks Lenovo.
    The volume buttons are found to the left of the device, but as one button. To the right side sits the lock/power button and towards the middle, the SIM-Card tray. Please be gentle with the tray if you get one, because as with my past experiences with metal trays, if this bends just a tiny bit, it will ruin the look and the flatness will never return again. Either way, pretty straight forward and all buttons feel metallic while the lock/power button have a little pattern on them.
    The feedback on the buttons are good but the lock/power button is slightly too soft, which may click on while holding the device in one’s hand.
    So yes, the size… Here is the K900 beside the Nokia Lumia 925 and HTC One Mini.
    The Nokia has a 4.5 Inch screen while the HTC has a 4.3 inch one, clearly being 5.5 makes it huge, plus the device is actually quite tall.
    The device feels really nice in the hands, but it does need a lot of getting used to being a phone of this size. It does slightly stick out of my jeans pocket. I have almost dropped it a few times because I am not used to using such a big device. Certainly if people are used to 5+ inch devices this might not seem too big, but I have never gone over 5 in my pockets before. It is a big device, that I started to get used to after about a week or two of use. I started to carry it differently, more towards a small notepad than a normal smartphone. I got used to it eventually! The metal back does get cold quickly especially in air conditioned areas so picking the phone up does feel special.
    As for the screen, it is absolutely brilliant. The clarity is amazing, the brightness can go up to levels that could be uncomfortable (but means brilliant in the sun). The only downside to the brightness is in the OS side as it can only be set at 30%, 60% and 100%, I would have preferred a slider but I am just being picky. Being 400PPI no pixels can be seen and the color representation is just brilliant, one of the best screens I have used in a smartphone, should be thankful to the IPS technology then. This is possibly the most inviting smartphone I have ever had in terms of wanting to watch videos on it, and I often just load videos from the laptop to the device to watch it there instead.
    Memory and Data
    This is where things complicated, and a bit unusual. Essentially the device comes with 16 GB of internal storage, which supposedly nearly 10 GB is free to the user, but what makes no sense is how it is managed..
    The device states that internal storage is 4.68 GB out of which I have nearly 600 MB free, and the USB storage is 9.77GB. On the bottom is the option to erase the SD card. There is no SD card. At first glance, it seems that the device has 5 GB of internal memory and like 10 GB of a separate internal memory, but this is actually a security thing that Lenovo has implemented, they have partitioned the drive so the system’s section of the storage remains untouched. Connecting the device to the computer, or accessing the built in file manager only displays the 9.77 GB partition.
    Sadly, as I have often stated, getting 16 GB of storage on a smartphone today is a low amount of storage, especially considering only nearly 10GB is only ever free with no external memory card slot option. Being on Android, every single cloud storage platform has an app, but Lenovo do not provide any free cloud storage on any service.
    As with typical modern day Android device (The K900 was launched in January in some markets) it comes with 2GB of RAM. With normal use, I average around 700-900 MB of free RAM. So the system seems to be managing its RAM fairly decently, and I have never experienced any memory issues in my use.
    Camera
    The K900 comes with a 13 MP camera with every option one could need on a smartphone.
    I wanted to really show the settings and viewfinder, but the K900′s screen shot utility is limited to only areas where the notification center is accessible, and all attempts to get a decent screen shot app without rooting failed miserably (before I forget, rooting this device is not an easy task, near impossible to find sources online)
    On the bottom left of the screen is where the main settings live and it has three main sections. The Basic section includes toggles for switching between cameras, flash settings, resolution, scenes (normal, low light, motion, etc), adjustments (brightness, contrast, etc), image quality settings and guide lines. The Advanced section covers the ISO, white balance, stroscopic settings and a toggle to enable or disable image capture by touching the screen. The last section is the other settings where the user can control GPS tagging, sounds, animation, focus modes and a reset tool.
    On the left of the screen there are two quick toggles for the flash and switching to the front camera. towards the right there is even more settings! on the top there is a small tool to display the selected settings in tiny icons and a arrow button to set the camera modes (HDR, low light, smile detection, macro, timed photos, burst shot, panorama, and night portrait mode.
    To the bottom of that.. is even MORE settings! well okay, not settings but there is a button that opens a whole table of effects for the photography, there is about 24 different effects to play with. To the far right sits the buttons to switch to video mode, capture an image and a thumbnail of the last photo taken.
    Here are some sample pictures taken with the K900 in various real world situations.
    A nice, decent lit Macro soft of the Blackberry Q5 (Review of the Q5 can be found here)
    Low light shot of the HTC One Mini (Review of the One Mini can be found here)
    A shot with decent lighting of a new packaged headset, lit well but notice how the device itself is over exposed.
    Decent interior lighting, the text is fairly clear at zoom, the disclaimer line is blurred though. 
    Outdoor shot in daylight
    Indoor shot with decent lighting of a portrait (best focus and lighting on the picture).
    The quality is really good, one of the best cameras I have come across in smartphones. The best? No, but very close I have to admit.
    So is it all perfect? Almost. Although there is a nice hidden feature where pressing the volume down and capture button on the screen will activate burst mode without having to go through the settings, the zooming is bad. Not the zooming itself, but the on screen controls for zooming. Tapping the screen will bring the 4x zoom bar, and it is really thin and 9 times out of 10 trying to zoom in or out, it will focus on that spot on the view finger rather than lower/increase the zoom, its very hard to zoom effectively and the volume keys don’t adjust the zoom which I think is a waste of the keys but in essence of taking pictures, it does a very good job.

    Operating System
    The K900 runs on Android version 4.2.1 with Lenovo’s own UI. It is a very interesting looking system, with tons of customizable features. No, I mean seriously, tons. Almost every single aspect of the experience can be changed, from the icon sets, size of the icons, backgrounds of the icons, special effects, tens of page transitions for the home page and various transitions for the apps page, automatic clean up (where inactive apps can be automatically removed), desktop layout backup, tens of built in apps, with up to 9 desktops!
    And I wish that was it.. there is a lot more to this OS that I thought, Lenovo did a great job.
    Let me start things off at the home screen and this essentially gives you an idea of how the operating system looks like. Pressing the menu button brings up the list of options (most of which are mentioned above) but this gives an almost unlimited amount of customization. Tapping and holding on an empty spot brings up the tools for transitions (known as effects), and the options to add apps, shortcuts, widgets and more! Lenovo’s power app has its own widget as well, which shows estimated time before battery runs out and quick toggles.
    Although most of our smartphone use doesn’t include phone calls or sms somehow, it is the base of a phone. Lenovo has done a great job here with their all in one approach. Call log, messages and contacts are all under one section. They have done it in a smart way where the dialler is on top of the log instead of two pages, certainly is more productive. The messages have a very interesting look to them, which I thought looked nice. Moving all the way into info center brings up a set of settings including a way to backup and restore contacts. It may not be a big deal to many but i think this all in one spot is a nice touch.
    The took the extra step in small touches, for instance when you call someone, the phone will vibrate the second the receiver picks up, not sure if any other manufacturer has that or not (never paid attention to it) but it is really cool especially in noisy situations.
    Before I go on, Lenovo has done something to this phone that evokes a sense of professional use or focus that has driven the development of the user interface, in my opinion.
    The applications list/page is a typical experience, but Lenovo has put their own touch. The device comes with built-in applications such as Flashlight, a whole array of google apps, file manager, evernote, uc browser, skype and a few others. The transitions are various as well, and can be set to flip as a cylinder, apps snake through each other and others.
    The device does stutter and lag a bit sometimes, but the general transitions are always smooth. I guess this always goes back to the optimization aspect, because the device is certainly more than capable, hardware-wise.
    The notification center is the typical Android 4.2.1 with a strip of quick toggles and the whole list is just a tap away. Activating Lenovo’s power app also adds a little information strip for the battery life and active functions. Two finger swipe down brings out the whole short-cut list.
    Another important aspect of the device (being the most used feature) is the keyboard. The keyboard is nice, smooth and easy to type on, no troubles there but there are a few loose ends. One of which, is the feedback vibrations. Initially it would vibrate when tapping and then suddenly it would stop vibrating for no apparent reason.
    In SMS mode, the enter button only appears when the keyboard is in Capital mode. Surely, these aren’t concerns but with an attempt to be so refined, they could have entirely eliminated keyboard issues. The numbers and symbols are a tap and hold away although I wish they applied more symbols in the same way throughout the keyboard.
    The settings menu is a whole operating system on its own! Under common settings the user will find the typical essential settings of the phone. Under Feature Settings is where things start to get interesting. The Lenovo K900 has many smart sensory features like engaging maximum volume when it detects its in a pocket, decreasing of volume when device is picked up while ringing, enabling the volume keys to turn the screen on, shake to lock the device and knock to turn the screen on.
    Do these really work? They all do but not without fault. The shake to lock the phone comes in handy because the device is huge and if it is being held one handed, it would eliminate the need to go up to press the button. The problem with this is, it would lock when moving around the device. In regards to the knock to unlock, it works by sudden movement rather than tapping/knocking the screen, which in my use, meant the screen came on when I would move about or place the phone on a table or anything solid. The rest worked fine. Cool features just need to be optimized perhaps.
    Under All Settings, the device can be almost completely be adjusted to liking from communications, application and account settings, device storage and running applications and finally system settings and all these can be seen above.
    In typical Lenovo way, everything built in has its own Lenovo touch. The file manager is quite smart! It allows traditional folder access, search, history, etc and also an automatic access of files based on their categories.
    Lenovo has done a very good job with their own Android UI. There are various applications built in, a lot of customizable options to keep things individual and all transitions and UI related functions run flawlessly. The processor I believe is the only source of things being out of hand. It runs up to 2.0Ghz, with no mention of what it’s general speed is and due to that, there are times when there would be stutters and lags. When the processor is running on full speed, everything is super smooth but I cannot deny when it is not.
    Applications on the K900 run absolutely smooth being in full 1080p. I have not experienced any applications having any issues what so ever, but what did have negative experiences was some games. The general non-resource hungry games always work, but games like Real Racing 3 were really out of order. It would stutter and eventually crash. I even downloaded Asphalt 8 (just out by the way, nice game, I somehow prefer 7 till now) and although it didn’t crash, it would lag! I tried it earlier today and it ran for much longer than the last time, then lagged.
    Again I believe this must be due to the processor’s optimization and Lenovo’s focus on professional use I guess. Without a doubt it isn’t a slow or weak device, just lacks a little.
    The imaging on the K900 is called SuperCamera and the image viewer is called SuperGallery. The self-claimed Super Gallery is quite feature-full and it allows creation of combined images and GIFs. It also is capable of providing the complete details of an image (such as size, resolution, device used for capture, etc)
    Multitasking is taken care off in the typical Android way, but for some reason, there is no button to clear all open applications and being that there is no limit to open apps in the list, it can get a bit annoying swiping away all the open applications to clear it.
    Aside from those few criticisms, with the huge and beautiful screen on the K900, and good performance (especially when its running at maximum juice) it is a very solid device in regards to the operating system.
    Performance
    There is no doubt in my mind that this is a powerful device, because it really is but with the processor feeling not entirely optimized, there is slight sluggishness while operating the device. Is it evident enough and noticeable? Slightly. There are times when I unlocked the device and the home page is still loading its widget, or swipe to another page and the icons pop up but weren’t already ready.
    Switching between applications and running applications is really smooth, the processor really does handle it well, but I wish the processor ran on 2.0 Ghz the whole time because I feel when it is idle or nor running at maximum performance is when it gets sluggish. I have tried several attempts to really work up the processor and then try the general OS transitions and everything was perfectly smooth. I feel the Intel processor isn’t the best for Android or at least isn’t optimized well enough.
    In typical, simple, basic ihabstech fashion, here is the quick fish tank test, which gives a rough idea of how good the device’s graphics and processor can be.
    (running at 980×440 resolution)
    With 100 fish, it held 18-21 FPS
    With 250 fish, it held 11-13 FPS
    With 500 fish, it held 9-11 FPS
    Keeping in mind the HTC One had a 1.7 GHZ Quad Core Snapdragon processor, it had about an average of 1-3 FPS less, the Lenovo K900 is a performer!
    To try it out the Fishtank Test for yourself, you can visit this link, and I think I shall be using this with future device reviews too.
    Battery
    The battery of the K900 is an interesting topic. Before getting into my experiences, the Lenovo Power application that integrates into the OS, is pretty cool.
    This is the essential app, where there are quick toggles for the system tools and an estimated time, in the best case scenario, till the battery would die. There are also several battery modes and a custom mode with estimated battery life for each.
    The following are two sample battery life tests I have experienced.
    In first test, I managed to pull out 12 hours of battery life with nearly 6 hours of standby time.
    While this second attempted pulled out 16 and a half hours of battery life with roughly 8 hours of standby time.
    The shocker is that I have once managed to drain the battery in less than 6 hours of use. What this essentially tells me is that the battery life of the 2500mAh sized battery in the K900 is very variable to the users use of the device. I am sure if I had set things up rather than running at max, I could get a whole day’s use. I recommend anyone who buys this device to play and test a lot with the battery application and find the best of both worlds, battery life and active functions. It essentially has a decent battery, even though I have no idea how they fit that battery in there.
    Wrap up
    The Lenovo K900 has been a delight. Yes, the device does need polishing up in various aspects, but that does not take away the fact that this device is solid, right now.
    The build of the device is phenomenal, the blend of stainless and full glass front is just a beauty and the device doesn’t even think of creaking. The camera is really powerful, full of features, and speaking of features the system really feature-full and is speedy, efficient and very smart. Sure, it does have a few loose ends in terms of battery management, operating system and processor optimization but for professional and ordinary use of the device, it runs near perfect.
    I am sure Lenovo are already working on the next generation of models, including a new flagship, and if this is how they handled things early 2013, I can just imagine they would do really well in the smartphone market!

  • Long video clip challenge

    I have a video clip that has over two hundred animated

    the video sprite the entire length of the movie (about 21,000
    frames give or take a thousand), does anyone know of an easier way.
    By the way I'm using MPEG Advace extra with my MPEG 2 video file,
    for what it's worth.
    Thank you for any help,
    Devin

    With Mpeg Advance, you can save cuepoints wherever you want
    to have
    something sync up. Check the docs. There is a page about how
    to use
    them. I have used this to time external audio with the video
    that is
    playing.
    You should not even try to sync stuff to a video using score
    animation.
    That will play at different speeds on different machines.
    Just put
    the Mpeg Advance sprite in one frame with a 'go to the frame'
    frame
    script. Have a behavior script on the Mpeg Advance sprite
    that checks
    for mostRecentCuePoint or cuePassed.
    You could also use the currentTime property to sync stuff
    without using
    cue points.

  • InContext Editing - Trouble creating links

    I have set up the editing for my client to go in and add links and images to link to other websites. For some reason both he and I are not able to create any "links" on the pages without having to do a lot of extra work.
    When I go into the account and "edit page", click on the "link" icon and select the type I want the user to be able to click on to link....Adobe does not allow me to type anything into the "URL" box. Is there something I need to set up in my Dreamweaver code? The ONLY way I can set up links is if I first try to link to a "page in my site". Once I have selected a page to link to I can then go in and change it to link to "web page" and finally it will let me type in the url address in the box. This is extra work for my client that I was hoping we could avoid.
    Any suggestions??
    Here is the website link to the page example:

    Thanks!

    It seems you found a bug in InContext Editing: when using Internet Explorer or Firefox and click inside a TABLE element inside an absolutely positioned DIV inside an editable region inside does not focus the editable region and no toolbar buttons are enabled. The element can be edited but the save button does not get enabled.
    I've reported this bug in our internal bug tracking system.
    To reproduce this, simply have this HTML inside a page:
    <div ice:editable="*" >
      <div style="position: absolute;"><table><tr><td>absolut table</td></tr></table></div>
    </div>
    Clicking inside the TABLE will not focus the editable region and no toolbar buttons gets enabled.
    Workaround: do not use absolutely positioned elements inside an Editable Region.

  • Unicode/glyph/font advice needed for porting WinForms app to Macintosh using AIR

    I've written an application in WinForms/.NET that I'd like to port to the Macintosh platform. I have never developed for the Mac but it seems as though AIR might be a good choice. I'm totally new to AIR. Some advice and info would be much appreciated!
    Can an app be developed in AIR on a PC running Windows and then later be deployed transparently on a Macintosh? Or do I need to be developing on a Mac?
    The app is a search interface for use against text-bases comprised of texts composed in ancient European languages. I pre-index the text-base and store it in SQLite as a fully-normalized (1NF) set of relations:  TITLES, WORDS, WORDOCCURRENCES.  So the app is really nothing more than a (query-only) database application with some specialized glyph-rendering requirements.
    In the WinForms app, I used a custom third-party edit control with  extensive support for the RTF specification, in combination with some third-party fonts that contain the necessary glyphs for rendering the Unicode characters corresponding to RUNES and to some abbreviations found in medieval manuscripts. BTW, these special non-ASCII characters are represented in the database not as unicode codepoints but as entities that can be represented in standard ASCII (e.g. "&thorn;"   ); when rendered to screen, the correct glyph has to be substituted when the Unicode codepoint for the entity supplied -- in this example the codepoint would be [U+00DE] and a thorn glyph  ( Þ) should be rendered.
    Since it might not be possible to find a single omnibus Unicode font that contains a glyph for every codepoint I need to render (what are the most glyph-rich freeware Unicode fonts for Macintosh, btw?)  the text widget must let the programmer "wrap" a Unicode character or series of Unicode characters in whatever font may be required at that point in the text. Is there a rich-text widget for AIR that can do this?  A widget that can render HTML and supports CSS stylesheets would be ideal (inline-CSS-only would be OK too). If the widget had CSS stylesheet support, the string of Unicode codepoints could be wrapped with a <span class='rune'>.....</span> and  the font-name for the .rune class could be specified in the CSS stylesheet.
    Thanks very much if you've taken the time to read through this tedious stuff !

    Flash Professional started as an animation tool and was expanded with a programming language that became ActionScript (now ActionScript 3.0). Content creators began using Flash to develop applications rather than just animation, so a lot of developer-centric and application-centric functionality was added to Flash, including pre-built user interface components (written in ActionScript). All that functionality and those components are still available in Flash Pro today. However, many developers who came from a traditional programming background had trouble getting into Flash Pro because it is really an animation design tool -- so it uses a timeline, layers, visual drawing canvas, and it required some figuring out to learn how to structure an application in that type of tool.
    In response to this, Macromedia (now Adobe of course) created Flex. Flex uses ActionScript just like Flash Pro. Flex also includes numerous user interface controls, written in ActionScript. Flex also adds advanced, flexible layout control and many utilities for common programming tasks like loading data from or sending data to a server, formatting values, validating user input, and more. With Flex, you can define your user interface using an XML markup language (MXML); the compiler then turns the MXML into ActionScript code before turning it into your compiled application. As far as tooling, an eclipse-based IDE called Flex Builder was created that gives you a code editor, a workable but not designer-oriented design view, and other developer tools like debugging and profiling. (Note that Flex Builder has been renamed to Flash Builder for the next release, which is currently in public beta.)
    So to generalize, Flash Pro favors a more visual design and animation type of working style, whereas Flex favors a more text-based, code-centric working style. (But that's just a generalization -- many people, especially people who "grew up" with Flash before Flex, still prefer Flash Pro even though they're heavy coders.)
    Also, if you want to write everything in code with no pre-drawn visuals (i.e. Flash Pro) and without using MXML or Flex components, you can create your application entirely in ActionScript code. Flex Builder supports ActionScript-only projects for that purpose.
    Here are a few links for getting started with Flex, which I would personally recommend if you haven't used either one and you're building something that's more "application" focused rather than media or animation focused:
    Flex "Quick Starts" -- short articles focused on specific tasks in Flex
    Flex "Getting Started Experience" -- designed as a set of training courses, intended to take 12+ hours to complete (but you can skip around of course)
    "Flex in a week" video training -- a free 5-day video tutorial series on Flex
    Flex Developer Center "Learning Paths"
    As a side note, the link you included actually goes to the JavaScript version of the documentation, which is what you would want if you are going to use HTML/Ajax to build your app. However, if you're wanting to use Flex you would want to use the Flex version of the documentation:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/HTML.html
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/html/HTMLLoader.html
    And if you're wanting to use Flash, you can use the Flash Pro version of the documentation:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/html/HTMLLoader.html
    Yes, it's somewhat confusing and overwhelming. We're definitely working on improving things in that regard.

  • Can intermedia be trained to do the image comparison

    I already sent email to Larry, I think he is working on my questions now, and I tried to use the functions to compare two teeth image signatures which from one person,same teeth pictures with some difference, then I got totally different results.
    float lscore1
    = OrdImageSignature.evaluateScore
    ( img_sig1, img_sig2, "color=0 texture=0.9 shape=0.1 location=0" );
    System.out.println("case1 color=0,texture dominate>>>" + lscore1);
    //>>>11.3160
    float lscore2
    = OrdImageSignature.evaluateScore
    ( img_sig1, img_sig2, "color=0 texture=0.1 shape=0.9 location=0" );
    System.out.println("case2 color=0,shape dominate>>>" + lscore2);
    //>>>>87.6091
    float lscore3
         = OrdImageSignature.evaluateScore
         ( img_sig1, img_sig2, "color=0 texture=0.5 shape=0.5 location=0" );
    System.out.println("case3 color=0,weigh half half>>>" + lscore3);
    //>>>49.463
    float lscore4
         = OrdImageSignature.evaluateScore
         ( img_sig1, img_sig2, "color=0 texture=0.2 shape=0.7 location=0.1" );
    System.out.println("case3 color=0,shape dominate, texture major, location minor>>>" + lscore4);
    //>>>79.6232
    since intermedia user JAI internally, I am wondering if the comparison method used by JAI or intermedia are based on neural network knowledge, if so, is there a way to train intermedia for specific application like mine--teeth image comparison? can the comparison only focus on the shape of one or two teeth in the middle of the pictures?
    thanks for any answer,
    Tianjian Wang

    No, we are not based on neural network technology, and currently there is no way to train interMedia for specific domains. Also we currently do not have the ability to focus on one or two teeth in the middle of the picture (that is, focus on a region).

  • Animated gif does not work in spry region

    Trying to display an animated gif while xml file is loading.
    The gif displays while loading but does not animate in the spry region.
    <div spry:region="dslistings">
    <div id="loadXML" spry:state= "loading"><img src="loadinganimated.gif"/></div>
    <div spry:state="ready" </div>
    Thank you in advance for any help.
    Jeff

    I believe you are correct, I tried to place the same animated gif outside of the spry region
    and it also did not animate until the xml (approximately 500 records) loaded and completed displaying.
    Once the xml loaded, the gif outside of the spry region started to animate.
    So how then could you display some sort of animated loading indication?
    Thank you
    jeff

  • Set focus to a report region after select value (user) report region

    Hello,
    On my page I have 4 report SQL Query report regions (among themselves). After selecting (user) of a value (report region number 3 with column link), the result shown in report region number 4. However, the focus is on report region number 1. The user sees the results do need to scroll down to see the answer(in report region number 4).
    Does anyone have a solution for me with an example. Thanks.

    Hi Varad,
    sorry for the delayed response.
    Please check the page:- 9999 of App:-964
    I have made 2 simple reports with a button in each region.
    SUCCESS MESSAGE of first one:- first process run by first report
    SUCESSS MESSAGE of second one:- Saved Data..process run for second report
    when first process is run by clicking the <b>SUBMIT</b> button in the first region, we will see the same first region back. But, when we click the <b>SAVE</b> button of second region, page submits and we will see the first region and user should scroll down to see the second region.
    so, I am trying to see if I can have user see the same region back[second region,when SAVE button clicked, in this case] if he has done any operations on second region. My actual page has around 6 regions where scrolling down might be pain full for a end user.
    Have created this page in a hurry .. My actual pages and processes are doing some use full job, the page I have given here is only for our testing purpose. please do not mind.
    Thanks a lot for helping me..

  • Detail Region as TOC for captivate (.swf) files

    Hi All,
    Not sure how to explain this, but i will do my best. I didnt like the TOC/Aggregator for CP 5. Thinking maybe to use Spry data using the Detail Region sample. I thought it would be simple to just combine the Detail Region code with the publsihed .swf and .htm code. But not sure what im doing wrong or if this is even possible to do. I was experimenting just using the exact same code and xml for Detail Region sample and modifying it a bit. See below...

    Hi,

  • Hiding and unhiding arbitrary nodes in a scene graphs with animations

    Could someone point me out to how could I dissolve (or any other animation effect) an arbitrary node (with its children) in the scene graph when I click in certain label ?. And how could I show them, also with an animation, when the label is clicked again?.
    I am thinking in using a label since hyperlinks have always an annoying rectangle surrounding them. Is it correct to use a label for what I want ? if a hyperlink is better, how could I hide the rectangle that surrounds it by default ? (I think it means that the hyperlink has the focus).
    Thanks!

    The node disolves smootly, but then the space is suddently reclaimed once it has been dissolved. I would like that the node shrinks until it dissappears. For a resizable node (e.g. a layout pane or control)
    Use a Timeline. Adjust the maximum size of the controls to 0 as a KeyValue in a keyframe.
    http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/layout/Region.html#maxWidthProperty
    http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/layout/Region.html#maxHeightProperty
    http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/animation/Timeline.html
    For a non-resizable node (e.g. a Shape or Image), put it in a resizable node first, then adjust as above.
    You might also need to set the min size to zero to allow the node to disappear completely.
    Afterwards, I would like to put it back to its default preferred size when a certain event occurs.Store the current value of the max size before you start to adjust the Node's layout and restore the max size once done.
    Another alternative to the above is to adjust the Node's clip.

    I have an (simple) Edge animation I am putting into a Wordpress site but it takes forever to load when looking at the site on a browser - trying it on ipad, Google chrome, firefox, and safari. The .oam file is 1.9mb. Is that big?
    Here is the link (site in development so kinda messy!):

    first of all thanks for using EdgeSuite for wordpress. Did you use shortcodes? Would it be ok to use your site as a reference for edge suite, I would list it on edgedocks.com if you would agree?
    Now to your question: By looking at the network traffic you can tell that your homepage is more then 3.1MB big, thats quiet a lot. Use google pagespeed extension for chrome, yslow for firefox, the network tab in firebug or just http://www.webpagetest.org to get an idea of what's going on.
    For example, the three icons FB, twitter, vimeo are each 500KB big, so these three icons are already have the size of your page. That is one thing to fix, but probably not the only reason for your composition to load slowly. You are using a lot of small assets, it just takes some time to load these. Does the composition load right away locally? If you want to further reduce loading time you could use spritesheets. You can combine small images within a bigger image and clip the focus when using the image as a backgound for a div. And try to reduce Photo1 2 3, each 150KB big.
    What about adding a preloader for the animation, the then user at least knows that there is more to come.
    Just suggestions.
