Animation Issue (Part 2)

With the suggestion that I create an animation file in Flash instead of Fireworks, I did a bit of research (tutorials, workbooks, even one for Dummies, no less) and after following instructions I went ahead and tries to create my own file.
The project: to set up a "movie" screen with several pictures appearing and fading in and out, one after the other. Seems like a simple procedure.
Wrong.
For starters, I created a rounded rectangle in the shape of a regular TV screen. Converted it into symbols (graphics). Imported a JPEG picture, resized it to fit within the rectangle and converted that into symbols (movie file).
Now that I have both layers in the Timeline, I locked the rectangle so that I could work with the picture. Selecting "Create Motion Tween" on the first frame and then selected "Insert Frame" on, say 60. However, when the dot is placed on frame 60, the rectangle disappears. (The idea was for it to remain visible and in place while the picture appears for a few seconds, then fades out, and another picture sets in, etc.)
Adding to the confusion was trying to locate the opaque (or transparency) section in the Properties table (to fade the picture near frame 60), but all that shows up are the Label, Tweening and Sound sections.
Not quite sure what else to try here except maybe go out and find another workbook.
Working with Creative Suite CS4 Premium on Windows XP (SP3)

From you description it sounds like you extended the layer with your jpeg picture to frame 60 but you did not extend the layer with the tv screen artwork. You will need to extend all of the layers so that their content will be visible further down the timeline.
The Properties window can be confusing. It is displaying the properties of whatever has been selected. If you select a frame in the timeline, then you will get information about that frame, not what is in the frame. To get information on the object on the stage at any given frame, move the playback head to that frame and click on that object on the stage. If you are trying to get to an object on the stage that is tweened, then you will have to select that object at a keyframe. The icon in the upper left corner of the Properties window will tell you what object is currently being displayed.

CR for VS2010 - Progress animation issue

Hi,
We are in the software business for years.Till last year, our software was windows application. Now we are releasing the web interface for it. In our windows application we use crystal report for reporting. We have registered license for crystal 8.5 and 11. Now for the web, we are planning to use the same crystal features.
We downloaded CR for VS2010 and we changed configuration and everything. We tried to launch a report without parameters, it is working fine. When we trying to run a report with parameter it will show parameter popup and after giving parameter values when we press OK button it will show a progress animator and it will not close. This is what happening while pressing Next and Previous button. For Export button it is not showing any progress animation and it is working fine.
NB:
1.   We are developing reports using CR 11. The same report we are using for our Windows application and web application.
2.   Our windows application is developed in VDF and front end and SQL server as backend. We are using CR 11 SDK in windows application. It is working fine.
3.   Our web application is developed in VS2010, SQL server and CR4VS2010, which is showing progress animation issue as mentioned above.
4.   We changed CR2VS2010 to CRXIR2 for VS2005 it was working fine. We have issue only with CR4VS2010.
We are about to release our web application soon, so before releasing we want to buy the redistribution license for CR4VS2010 if there is any solution for this issue otherwise we need to think about CRXIR2.
Thanks

Hi Ludek,
As you mentioned I created a sample web application, it is working fine.
But when I change the code as below it will show the problem.
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument doc = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
doc.Load("C:\Program Files\.......\Report1.rpt");
this.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = doc;
Response.Write("Ok");
While debugging I found the last statement Response.Write("Ok"); is causing the issue. If we remove that statement and run it will work fine.
In our actual program we have created a class by inheriting ReportDocument and we are doing all the actions like assigning SelectionFormula, setting Database connection, dynamically assign values for some formula fields in the reports. (These all are part of customisation of our CrystalLayer). Just for a debugging purpose we put a Response.Write in our CrystalLayer class. That caused the issue. Now we removed it and it is working fine.
NB: This issue was not there in CRXIR2. I think the progress animation is using some javascript and the Response.Write we are using in our program not allowing that animation to stop.
Thanks

Safari - Animated GIF not Animating Issue

I am frequenting site and have noticed animated gifs not animating properly on this page. The site is http://www.woot.com
Problem Detail:
There are two "whirly lights" on each side of a progress bar under the item currently for sale. The left light starts to animate while the page is loading but stops while the right light continues its animation.
This particular site may usually only uses these images every once in a while so if no one checks this in the next couple days the images will no longer be there. I created a web archive the site which I could send if this page does go away. The issue does not happen in Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions
I get the same effect as you in Safari. Loaded with no problem in Firefox. Page does have coding errors, which can lead to inaccuracies in how the page is rendered. Safari is much more strict about correct coding than Firefox, adhering to web standards set out by Web Standards Project.

Animation issue in Adobe photoshop cs6

This is an annoying issue within photoshop. I am working on an animation for a video and when I try to change the position of a charater on a new frame it also changes the positioning on all of the frames previous of it.
I am making a walk cylcle and I want the character to walk from one end of the screen to the nextl but, when I make a new frame, move him to the opposite end of the screen on a NEW FRAME it changes the previous frames position to match the current one I am on.
How do I fix this reoccuring problem.
HERE IS A VIDEO DISPLAYING THE PROBLEM(Sorry, no mic):

Full res retina iPad and Edge Animation issues

OK So I have been building folios for the new iPad (retnia) and the only way I can get a full page animation built in edge to work is to build it on a stage that is half res (1024x768). If I build a full screen edge animation (2048x1536) it just shows a blank screen on that page on the iPad. Anyone have any tips on this? The folio is built at 2048x1536. So when i place a 1024x768 oam file I have to stretch it and use "scale to fit". Although the animation works like this it is not as pretty as the full res pages that follow. Ideas?

Alright. So I did a bunch of testing. Good news is that text created in indesign looks identical in quality regardless of if the indesign file is 1024 or 2048 when using PDF as the folio format. Bad news is that images (i.e. placed psd files) look not as great. Definantly better than when i was trying to upscale in folio Automatic from 1024 to 2048 but not as good as a indesign file created at 2048.
Wish there was a way to solve the image quality issue. Oh and of course all the Edge animations work like a charm using PDF and 1024. They still are not as sharp or high quality as Edge animations built at 2048 but at least they work.

Powerpoint animation issue

I'm losing animation on numbers that I have coming in at bookmarked places in a slide. I return to a home page and return to the slide no problem but if I return to homepage then a different slide, then home page and the initial slide...the animated numbers
won't work. I believe (I guess) the page hasn't reloaded...but all the fixes I have seen for this problem I can't get to work with 2013. 1) they say add a blank slide before the problem slide and set the transition time to zero (well it won't let me set the
transition time to zero...lowest it goes is 1 second...maybe thats why it won't fix the problem 2) install a macro to fix the problem...I have no idea how to actually do that? I've been trying to remedy this for weeks now...so if anyone can please please help...please
do!
Thanks

Animation Issue in publish

I imported flash animation movie in captivate. If I publish it with other slides, it does not work when I try to see it in browser, using F12 function. After I publish, final .swf file also does not work. Does it mean we can not import animation movie in captivate?
Thanks

Hi,
We can insert animations in captivate and it should work.
Is it possible to share that animation with us, so that we can check what the issue is?
You can e-mail me to my e-mail address [email protected]

After Effects 4K Title & Animation Issue

Hello,
I am having an issue implementing titles for my project in PP that were created in AE. I had someone make me title animations and logo animations for me. He designed them for 1920X1080, but my footage and sequence is 4096 X 2160, and now he's on vacation for three weeks in Europe. I have all the assets and project files for this project. I tried to do a simple change in the sequence settings of the comps but that didn't solve anything. I also tried scaling up the layers but then the animation paths got messed up. How can I re-size the titles so they match the sequence correctly?
Thanks,
Ben
AE - 11.0.2.11
MAC OS X - 10.8.3
4K RED Footage - 4096 X 2160

Check the comp resizer script that comes with AE and there's a similar, more advanced floating around on AEScripts or AEnhancers somewhere. Though the aspect ratios being slightly different you may still need to intervene manually. If ev erything is based on shape layers, vector artwork and text layers, enabling the collapse transformations switch might also allow scaling the pre-comps up without any loss of quality whiel retaining the animation...

Adobe Edge 3 animations issues with webview on Android v4.1.1 and v4.2.1

I am developing an Android App using webview (using phonegap/cordova v2.8.1 ) . I used Adobe Edge 3 and generated few animations using SVG images and couple of html pages
Query #1:    Scaling of image is continously increasing with every orientation change
             On Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 (all with Android version v4.4.2) the Adobe Edge animations work as expected in my App, however there is one issue when ConfigChanges option in Android manifest file is set to "orientation|screenSize" used in the main activity of my App to allow it to automatically resize this screen/images when screen orientations between portrait and landscape. This works but image size keeps increasing (never reset to original size) every time change the orientation of my Android device from portrait to landscape and vice versa.
Is there any issue with Adobe Edge based animations w.r.t to automatically resizing based changes to screen orientation on Android ?
Query #2: Images(i.e. symbols) are incorrectly loaded/shown and sometime stage itself is not loaded
    On Samsung Tab 2 (v4.1.1) and Samsung S3 (v4.2.1), the same Android App runs fine, however some images are not loaded randomly, sometimes the image is blank and sometimes incorrect symbols are overlayed onto the stage1 and stage 2 screens.
Has body faced similar issues while using Adobe Edge generated animations with webview/phonegap based Android applications ? if yes how it was fixed ?
This Android App uses only the two html pages (as stage 1 and 2) and then it loads different symbols (i.e svg images) using hide and show , load composition methods to create animations.
Let me know if there are any Adobe Edge 3 related issues specific to different version of Android ...in particular Android v4.0, v4.1 and v4.2 ..because the same App works fine on Android v4.3 and v4.4
I suspect it is due to differences and support available in webview implementations in different versions of Android.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated !
thanks

Sadly I don't have answers either. I'm not sure what happened but as of the last few days i've been having the same problems. There are also times when my mac mini wont even connect to the base station.
What I find strange is that my sister has the same airport firmware installed and her machine is unaffected. I'm on hold with apple atm, so we shall see what they can figure out.

SWF animation issue in Captivate CS4

Hello All...
Okay, I have been working on this for hours, and I am getting pretty frustrated.
I have an swf animation that I need to insert into Adobe Captivate CS4 slide. I have thested the swf file and it opens and plays just fine. I am able to insert it into the Captivate slide just fine, and it plays - however it only plays for about 27 seconds then cuts out. The total swf animation is approx. 40 seconds long.
Why is it cutting out the animation? When I import the swf file, it plays the entire animation before I actually insert it (in the Animation window). However, the "duration" only shows 27.7 seconds. Why is it only showing a duration of 27.7 seconds, when the actual animation is longer?
I extended the slide to be over 40 seconds in length, and I am playing the animation for the "duration of animation" - but it is still stopping early!
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help, it is much appreciated!

Hi there
I'm wondering if the issue might be a mismatch of frame rates. You need to investigate the frame rate the SWF was created at. Captivate typically uses 30 frames per second. So if the SWF animation has a different frame rate, perhaps that explains it?
Cheers... Rick

Creating Native InDesign Animation Issue

Hello,
I've been following Bob BringHurst's DPS Tips apps on "Creating Native InDesign Aninmation". In Indesign CS5.5, I've created a very simple animation using the custom preset "Fade in", and exported it to a .fla file
I then downloaded the CreateJS Toolkit. I didn't have Flash Pro so downloaded the trial of Flash Professional CC. CreateJS did not install due to Flash being a later version.... I've now read that this version of Flash has the toolkit built in anyway. Is this correct??
However, when I open my .fla file in Flash Professional CC there is nothing displayed apart from a white box, so I download Indesign CC thinking it may be an incompatibility issue, and created the same animation and exported the .fla file as before.
When opening in Flash CC I see the same result.
In the DPS tips it states export to HTML5 but I dont see this option in Flash CC.... export to Image/Video/Movie only.
Any help greatly received.
Regards,
Iain...

Yes, CreateJS is built in to Flash Pro CC. In Flash Pro CC, choose Command > Publish for CreateJS.
As Bob said, that CreateJS workaround is useful only when you've created an elaborate native animation in InDesign that would be time-consuming to rebuild using a different app. If you're starting from scratch, use Edge, Photoshop, After Effects or another app to build an image sequence.

Neo4 platinum installation issues part 2

Okay, well last night I finally got my new neo4 platinum board to recognize and boot with the cd rom drive that I had attatched, as well as run through all of the POST without any issues. Now I have another one.
I'm reinstalling XP on the hard drive that I'm using (which is now blank and reformatted) and I can get past the initial "blue screens" wherein you choose the partition to install to and XP loads up all of the preliminary files etc. However, when it asks to restart and says that the "installation will continue" once the restarts is complete it boots back up and freezes on the "Accessing DMI data pool" (i think that's what it says, something like that anyhow) and then doesn't move. If I reboot again after that and try and boot off of the cd again, it just takes me through the initial setup steps all over again. I have no idea what the problem is and am completely stumped. Any suggestions?

Quote from: Bowen on 15-July-05, 22:29:53
Well it could be a few things. Can you tell if the computer is running hot at all? These are just things you need to check off even if you might not think it would affect it. Is your memory the same? Did they come in one package? Also, is the first one (closest to the CPU) in the green slot and the second one in the purple slot. This doesn't necessarily have to be that way (that is toward the front) but when something's not working correctly, you want to make sure everything is installed as recommended until you get your problem nailed down. I know your probably not doing this but don’t overclock either.
Oh hey, I just noticed something about your specs. I see you have an Antec 430 Watt PSU. Is it a AGP (20-pin) or PCI-E (24-Pin) PSU? The older 20 pin connectors are supposed to work with PCI-E mobo's but that doesn't mean that it will. I'm not certain but if that's your old PSU you were using with your AGP mobo, I bet that's your problem!
You can pick up a good PCI-E PSU at Monarch Computer. A good PSU for a cheap price, which I have BTW. It's a Enermax 530 Watt PSU, PCI-E of course and it's only $80! http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=100122&Category_Code=ps-500 or if you want to stay with Antec, try this one but it's more expensive: http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=100241&Category_Code=ps-500
Crap. I really hope it isn't my PSU. I just bought the stupid thing two days ago, and yes it IS a 20 pin connector. I'm using the adapter thing that converts to 24 so I figured that there wouldn't be an issue. Would this really cause it to freeze up like that? The other thing that I've noticed is that during the installation processes there are some LONG pauses in "action." A few times I actually thought that it froze up on me, but walked away for awhile and came back and saw that it had advanced. Until it gets to the "DMI" message and then it craps the bed for sure.
:::sigh::: I've had these parts for three days now and haven't been able to play with them. I've got Far Cry, Half life 2 and BF2 all waiting to be played on max settings but I just can't get the darn thing to run.
Someone else mentioned awhile back that my PATA hard drive might be dated enough that the mobo just doesn't like it. I really really don't want to spend a whole lot more money on this thing, but obviously will if I have to.
If anyone out there has any ideas or can offer any advice, I'd love to hear it. I just want to get this thing fixed.

UIImageView alpha fade animation issues

I'm a newbie iPhone developer going very well, almost finished my first app minus this one issue which I am a little embarrassed to be asking but...
I have a UIImageView that I have animated to fade (alpha value) over the period of 60s. After the animation a UIButton displays. In addition by tapping you can force the alpha value of the UIImageView down as to make the animation appear faster. But I am having trouble determining when the alpha value of my UIImageView is below zero - so that I can display the button - even though the animation is still running. Here is my code:
- (void)fadeTheImageView
[fadeImageView setAlpha:1.0];
[UIView beginAnimations:@"theAnimation" context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
[UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:@selector(yourAnimationHasFinished:finished:context :)];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:10];
[fadeImageView setAlpha:0.0];
[UIView commitAnimations];
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
if ( fadeImageView.alpha <= 0.0 ) {
[saveButton setHidden:NO];
[fadeImageView setAlpha:(fadeImageView.alpha - 0.1)];
- (void)yourAnimationHasFinished:(NSString *)animationID finished:(BOOL)finished context:(void *)context;
[saveButton setHidden:NO];
The error is with the if ( fadeImageView.alpha <= 0.0 ) {
incompatible variable types.
I've tried everything.
Any help would be appreciated

I've worked around the problem.
What I have done is to animate the alpha of the button along side the UIImageView.
So no need to rely on that conditional.
- (void)fadeTheImageView
UIImage *fadeImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Base.png"];
fadeImageView.image = fadeImage;
[fadeImageView setAlpha:1.0];
[saveButton setHidden:NO];
[saveButton setAlpha:-10.0];
[UIButton beginAnimations:@"saveButton" context:NULL];
[UIButton setAnimationDuration:30];
[saveButton setAlpha:1.0];
[UIButton commitAnimations];
[UIView beginAnimations:@"theAnimation" context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
[UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:@selector(yourAnimationHasFinished:finished:context:)];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:30];
[fadeImageView setAlpha:0.0];
[UIView commitAnimations];
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[saveButton setAlpha:(saveButton.alpha + 1.0)];
[fadeImageView setAlpha:(fadeImageView.alpha - 0.1)];
- (void)yourAnimationHasFinished:(NSString *)animationID finished:(BOOL)finished context:(void *)context;
[saveButton setAlpha:1.0];

FireFox Animation Issues iFrame

We recently built an animation for the Peercover home page. The animation works on every browser dev.peercover.com/animation but when placed on the home page http://dev.peercover.com in an iFrame, many of the animated SVG symbol objects are moved down on FireFox. I suppose this must be a big issue for many people since edge animations belong in iFrames for proper loading reasons on JS insertionary pages. Please help!

Hello,
I just ran into the same issue.
Setting all child symbols to position: absolute seems to fix it, as far as I can tell.
I just added the following into the <style> tag in the Edge Animate HTML file:
div { position: absolute !important; }
I just tried this on your site with your animation (via Firefox dev tools) and it seemed to work.
Brief testing doesn't appear to show any adverse affects in other browsers.
I guess, with some animations, it probably would be necessary to be more specific with the CSS, so it only targets the problem symbols, rather than every <div>.

Having the animation issue with iOS 5 SDK generated build

I am working on a enterprise application. I upgraded the xcode 4.2 and generated the build with iOS SDK 5. I observed the strange behavior in the animation of the views. The view are moving horizontally, even though we are setting the frame vertically.
But if I run the app in debug mode, it works fine.
Can anyone please help me?

The following piece of code I am using in my application,
Here pBgImageView is UIControl object.
                    CGRect frame =pBgImageView.frame;
NSLog(@"frame x.o = %f, y.o = %f",frame.origin.x,frame.origin.y );
                    frame.origin.y += (62 + 15);
NSLog(@"frame x.o = %f, y.o = %f, bg.x = %f, bg.y =      %f",frame.origin.x,frame.origin.y, pBgImageView.frame.origin.x,pBgImageView.frame.origin.y );
And the logs I am getting is,
frame x.o = 15.000000, y.o = 88.000000
frame x.o = 92.000000, y.o = 92.000000, bg.x = 15.000000, bg.y = 88.000000
frame x.o = 92.000000, y.o = 92.000000
