Animation. tween for scale transformations

mac, mac osX 10.5.3., photoshop cs3.
When I use the basic animation palette of Photoshop and from one frame to another I am not able to get a motion tween between scale transformation of an object/layer.
When I scale something on a frame it comes to be scaled the same in each frame of the animation.
What is that I make wrong, guys?
thanks a lot
antonella

Expand the layer and look for the difference settings and you will see each setting has a stop watch you have to activate the stopwatch for each type of transformation, scale position, color transparency etc. You do so by starting the transformation at the point in the timeline where it will begin in your scene you click the stopwatch, that will automatically make a keyframe at each point along the time line you make a change in the preview window.
Hope that is clear.
Oh wait as second you are talking frame by frame , there is no tweening, it is frame by frame you have to move for each frame manually and set the the frame delay.
I am wrong about that it should work from the flyout menu tween and set that number of frames. and what you want tweened.
I never noticed they offered this wonderful feature to frame by frame.
Make a frame place or create your art. make a new frame , move your art, change the color and or opacity if you desire and scale if desired then from the timeline flyout choose tween select how many frames you want to add and click ok. Then select the first frame of that tween and shift click on the last to change the duration if you do not like the 6.6 seconds delay to some thing like 0.1 seconds, which is what the delay of your vision is. The 6.6 second default delay is probably for a slide show.
Now play your animated tweened clip.
This will help you make a transition to the time line rather then using frame by frame.
The time line is far more powerful and you will love the co9ntrol you have and Premiere and AE is even better and this will help you make that transition as well.

How to scale animation? (or apply scale transforms?)

Hi,
I made a flash game in 640x480 pixels resolution with lots of skeletal animation and bitmap-graphics. Now I want to recreate the very same game for 1024x768. Graphicwise this is no problem, since I've drawn the graphics in a much higher resolution anyway. But I have problems figuring out how to scale all the animations (tweens) I did in the Flash IDE. Needless to say I can scale each MovieClip to 160%, so they have the right size. But then the MovieClips graphical pieces look pixelated, so I would like to replace those pieces with their higher resoluted equivalents. However, if I do so the higher-resoluted-equivalents are, of course, in turn scaled to 160% as well, so they end up far too big. What I am looking for at this point is a way to apply the scale to the MovieClip as well as its contents. Is there a way to do this? And if not, how would you go at scaling animations / tweens to higher resolutions inside the Flash IDE?
Or do I have to recreate all animations? (That would be a lot)
By the way, the animations are to be read by the DragonBones-plugin directly inside the Flash IDE (it creates a texture-atlas and xml-files out of the movieclips), so affecting things with Actionscript is no option.
Best regards

I also would recommend using a tool like the above mentioned. The process will otherwise require exactly what you don't want to do, replace each piece individually with adjustments.
There is some JSFL code that can help here but honestly learning a new language just to solve this one short case issue isn't really advisable.
It might be a good time to consider Stage3D however. While this is an even larger leap than re-importing and aligning all assets, the performance boost would be so amazing it would be well worth your time. 2D sponsored engines like Starling have a texture scale during import that can help here as it seems based on your desired resolution that mobile is or may be important.

Fixes for some transform effects problems.
- We were not animating the postLayout properties in some cases where we should have, effectively pinning the object in place. We now animate those properties whenever applyChangesPostLayout is true.
- A copy/paste error meant that we did not animate the scaleZ property in cases where we should have.
- A problem in the transform code means that using a null transform center is not the same as a transform center which uses the transformX/Y/Z properties of the target object. We now force the creation/use of a transform center in all cases to avoid that problem.
QE notes: This breaks about a dozen tests in the transform effects area, but I believe the new results are correct and the tests/bitmaps should be changed.

Scale transformations in flash slideshows

Hi Group,
I do slideshows in AE CS3, mainly for dvd output, however when I export to flash for the web I seem to lose control over the images when scale transformation is applied.
I usually keep scaling to less than 15-20%, and in preview they look perfect, but as soon as I view them in DW the images are shimmying and distorting as they scale.
Whilst I appreciate that flash wasn't designed for pixel images, is there anyway that this can be applied without ruining a good slideshow.
Or is it I'm doing something terribly wrong??????
Thanks in advance to all those that take the time to give sensible answers
David

I'm not clear what you are trying to tell us. If you animate and export directly as an SWF from AE, the file will contain all operations as rasterized pixels. Any flicker and crawl you see therefore is a side effect of the underlying JPEG compression used to embed the images in the SWF. In so many words: There is not really a way to avoid it. You can crank up data rates/ compression levels to minimize it, but it will never fully go away and the slower the images scale, the more distinct the effect will be. The same applies also to using Flash video (FLV). Ergo, you should avoid scaling alltogether (or any other operation that messes with fine details and changes the compression pattern for every frame). In the long run, you should learn how to do this in Flash directly or at least consider updating to CS4, where you can transfer such animations non-destructively to Flash and export a more suitable SWF from there.

Pan Behind tool on a 3D layer for Scale

Appologies. Unable to find any info yet on whether there is a way to use the Pan Behind tool on the Z axis of a 3D layer for scale. I would like the said 3D layer to be pushed back in Z space, but to appear as if it hasn't changed size in the camera. My guess is that the scale would automatically adjust as the layer is pushed back in Z space. Have I missed something in the manuals and forums? Thanks for a reply.

I'd use a simple expression for the scale property. You could then adjust the position of the layer or the position of the camera and keep the layer the same size in the frame. Changing the anchor point in Z would then also change the relative size of the layer in the camera view. I've written out the expression in long form so that it's easier to understand. It uses the length (distance) between the 3D layer and the camera/divided by the zoom value (focal length) to create a scale multiplier. Here you go:
point1 = thisComp.layer("Camera 1").transform.position;
point2 = position;
d = length(point1, point2);
z = thisComp.layer("Camera 1").cameraOption.zoom;
sa = 100 * d/z; //scale adjustment

A few questions on making animated buttons for a website Nav

Hello, I have a few questions on creating some animated buttons for a nav.
There are 2 actions I want to trigger on moue over.
If I want to use a static (PNG) image that I created in Photoshop for the actual button, can I use that? I want to smoothly slide button down on mouse-over and slide back up on mouse off. If I push part of the button off the "canvas" (sorry, this is coming from a Photoshop guy) will it disappear in the final animation? Another way to put that is, if I put an animated element off the white area, will it no longer show up in the movie (.swf) when it's published?
For the second part; you can see a bit of what I want to do if you look at this website's top Nav: http://www.photoshopsupport.com/index.html
I need the "light" above the button and it's going to be on another colored <div> so I can't set one solid BG color for my flash document. But I want to achieve the effect of the "bar" lighting up above the button and the actual button sliding down upon moue over.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Regarding this button problem mentionned by kglad, it is easily overcome with a little trick.
I call this the undesired "jumpy button". Your button starts to hesitate down-back-down-back quickly, like it's a bug, and then it settles.
What you could do is create a simple sprite or movieclip containing only a simple shape, whatever the color, put it on top of your button's graphic, change this sprite/movieclip's alpha to 0, then add your mouse events on this invisible "target" instead of your graphic. So, when you mouse over, you have the graphic move, not the invisible "target".
Sometimes, for this invisible target, you will be using a movieclip, not a sprite, so you can easily add your own properties on it.
Example:
var graphicBtn:Sprite; // your png
var targetBtn:MovieClip; // your invisible target, created with code or not
targetBtn.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
targetBtn.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, graphicBtn.width, graphicBtn.height);
targetBtn.alpha = 0;
targetBtn.mygraphic = graphicBtn;
targetBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver);
targetBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onOut);
addChild(graphicBtn);
addChild(targetBtn);
function onOver(event:MouseEvent):void
TweenLite.to(event.target.mygraphic, 0.25, {y:40, ease:Back.easeOut});
function onOut(event:MouseEvent):void
TweenLite.to(event.target.mygraphic, 0.25, {y:0, ease:Cubic.easeOut});
So you see, you can have only one function (well, 1 for over, 1 for out) used for all your buttons. You can add as many properties you need on your movieclip to make that one-function flexible.
Here I used GreenSock's tweening engine, but use the one you prefer (Here, I am moving the graphicBtn in y for 0.25 second).

Is there a way to keep an animation playing for a mouseout event when you start a new one?

I have some buttons that on mouseover they animate scaling up and on mouseout they scale back down. This is working great except the scenario when a user mouse's over one button then immediately mouse's out to the next button the animation on the first button abruptly stops and the animation starts on the current button. Is there a way to keep the animation playing for the first button AND have the animation play work for the second button?
I have uploaded a quick demo to illustrate what I mean. Also I've uploaded the project file if anyone can find a solution. Thanks!
Dropbox - edgeAnimateButtonSample.zip

You need to create two symbols for these two buttons, so that both can play simultaneously.

Help creating an animated gif for a navbar!!

Hey guys, I am very new to fireworks and dreamweave and am having a problem that is making my head spin! I have to create a simple animated .gif for a navigation bar (which will be made in dreamweaver). The navigation bar should function similar to this: http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/functionality.html. Essentially, all that is happening is I create this animated image and in dreamweaver, when I create the AP NavBar, I set the mouseover to that image. My problem is that in comparison to this website's mouseover image ( http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/images/navi/audience_OVER.gif ) my animated gif has multiple layers and states, where as his only has one layer. I can't seem to figure out how to include both the text, and the gif image, and incorporate them under the same layer.
A follow up question after having found how to incorporate both into the same state, would I have to lasso out each piece of my animated gif for the individual state I want to have it applied to?
Any help/pointer to where the information can be found would be greatly appreciated. I've read through the manuals and watched many of Babbage's videos but haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks!

Your gif doesn't need to have multiple layers, but it does need to have multiple states. To save yourself a lot of confusion, create the animated gifs first, and then export them. Create your navbar in the usual way, with simple rolloveres or swap images. Export the navbar.Rename the animated gifs with the names of the over state of the navbar images, and then delete (or mone to another folder) the over state images of the navbar. Move the renamed gif animations into the image folder of the navbar. Preview in browser. The animated gifs should have replaced the original over state of the buttons.

What is the accepted format for creating animated emoticons for the iPhone and iPad? Are they .gif files?

I'm new to creating apps for iOS and am interested in creating an app that uses animated emoticons in messaging. I wasn't sure what format was accepted, however. I presumed that .gif files would work but want to know for sure before we begin working on them. Thanks!

So...how does one make animated emoticons for iOS? That's my question, I suppose. Thanks!

How do I create 2 motion tweens for one line of text? the text needs to "fly-in-right", I can do that,

how do I create 2 motion tweens for one line of text? the text needs to "fly-in-right", I can do that, then it needs to "fly-out-bottom" again, I can do that, but not on the same line of text...any ideas...

my question
1- there is any way to assign the Fetch process to specific region so the process take all item in these region only.
2- how can create manual process to fetch row into specific items in page ( i tray these code
SELECT col1, col2, col3 ....
INTO :P1_ITEM1, :P1_ITEM, :P1_ITEM...
FROM table
WHERE id = :P_id ) but no data retrieve .
I do not think that it is possible to have more than one Automated Row Fetch process in a given page. See the thread:
ORA-01403: no data found : Unable to fetch row multiple automated row fetch
On your second question, the manual process should work provided:
P_ID has a value when the process executes. You can do it this way:
i. Make this process as a on-load After/Before header process
ii. Make sure that P_ID page item has value when the process executes (set it from another page or before the pl/sql process executes)

How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in loop and I am forced close Adobe Bridge.

How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in a loop when I click on one and I am forced to "fore close" Adobe bridge which After Effects uses to locate the presets. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

What is your exact workflow? The proper procedure is to select your text layer in AE, find the text preset you want to use, then drag or double click that preset to apply it to your project.
It also helps if we know your version of AE and OS down to the decimal point. You didn't give us much to go on.

How to use 3rd party jar files for xml transform

Hi all,
Am using OAS9.0.4 and I deployed my .ear successfully.
In my application am using 4 jar files for xml transformation. (xerces.jar, xalan.jar, xml-apis.jar,xercesImpl.jar)
OAS has its own xmlparserv2.jar file. Its using this jar file for transforming xml data and not even looking for above mentioned 4 jar files.
In opmn.xml, I provided these 4 jar files in to class path. Then also it didn't effect my output.
I also tried as put these 4 jar files into j2ee\home\applib directory, but o result.
Can anybody tell me where should I keep these 4 jar files in OAS and OAS should use these 4 jar files instead of its own xmlparserv2.jar for transforming data.
Thanks in Anticipation,
Regards,
RK

Add the Xbootclasspath variable in the java-options field. It will somewhat look like the following in your opmn.xml file
<process-type id="<OC4J Instance Name>" module-id="OC4J">
<module-data>
<category id="start-parameters">
<data id="java-options value="........... -Xbootclasspath^/a:<location of your jar files>" />
Ensure to use th ^/a (append) signature

Adobe Flash player for Asus Transformer Pad

We're Sorry
This content requires Adobe Flash Player, which is not supported by your device. This content can be viewed on a desktop computer or on mobile devices that support Flash Player.
Why adobe.com doesn't have opportunity download adobe flash player for Asus Transformer Pad TF300T? Where I can download it?

ASUS Transformer Pads are available with Windows RT, Windows 8 or Android (https://www.asus.com/us/Tablets_Mobile/Transformer_Pad_Products/). Flash Player is available for, and works with Windows RT and Windows 8, so I'd have to assume that you have an Android Transformer Pad, which the TF300T is (https://www.asus.com/us/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/). Android no longer supports Flash Player (for almost a year and a half now).
See: "Why can't I install Flash Player on my Tablet?" (Kindle or Samsung Galaxy) which lists specifically Galaxy and Kindle, but applies to ALL Android devices, and the support was dropped by the developer of the OS and not necessarily by the individual manufacturers of devices that run Android.

Simple animation software for Arch?

Can anyone suggest a simple animation program for Linux; something similar to AnimationShop for windows. I know there's gimp-GAP, but that seems to be fairly advanced for my purposes. I just want to be able to string together images into .gif or video, perhaps with an 'onion layer' feature so you can see the previous frame transparently; that sort of thing.
I use gnome, so preferably something for GTK, or at least if it's KDE, that depends only on QT and not KDE packages.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

skottish wrote:You don't actually need GAP to do animated Gifs in Gimp. All you need to do is add all the frames that you want as layers in one image, then save as Gif. Gimp will ask you if you want to flatten the image or make an animation out of it. If you choose animation, it will ask you for a frame rate.
Thanks. I realised this eventually and got it done that way.
Still, out of curiosity are there any 'film-strip' type animation programs out there?

Table for scale ( Rebate) in CRM

Hi,
Can i know where i can get the table for scale information (condition rate,scale quantity,amount) in CRM for rebate agreement?
Thanks
Ashok

Hi Ashu,
Try in the table 'CND_MAPC_CNV_TAB' to see the relationship between R/3 tables and CRM tables
In R/3 KONM table stores the scale quanties and amounts for condition records.
