Best way to do a simple slide animation in GoLive 6?

Hi,
I'm an illustrator and manage my own site (only) in GoLive 6. I only update rarely and this last time it has been 3 years. My index page has a single image, but I'd like to use 4 or 5 images cycling in that spot with the best "disolve" I can get.
www.daveseeley.com
I've tried building the animation as a swf file in Imageready (cs2) = 10 second download of 3.4mb file in DSL=nonstarter...then tried an animated gif in which is about the same size, with much worse image quality, and it loads immediately and plays while continuing to load....so could work, but not ideal. I see that GoLive has a slideshow action, but cannot figure out how to do it.... Will that be with no dissolve setting=harsh transition if I just have the 4 or 5 images as jpegs with no transition files, or is there a way to do that automatically?
I do have photoshop cs3, but haven't yet loaded it.
Thanks for any help...
Dave

Yes, GL's slide show action doesn't do transitions. I use a simple application called SWF'n Slide to create lean Flash slideshows: <a href=http://verticalmoon.com/products/swfnslide/swfnslidecommon.htm> I have the Pro version, but the standard version offers loads of features, too. Check out the samples: <a href=http://verticalmoon.com/products/swfnslide/samples.php> It's cheap and easy to figure out. -- Cheers Martin

Best way to code a simple wait/delay?

What is the best way to code a simple wait/delay so that my application idles for a few seconds before continuing? I'd rather not use a loop to do this and am looking for a better solution. This code will not be threaded, so I'm not going to use sleep(). TIA

From the OS level, yes it is a process; from Java's perspective, it's a Thread, at least in Sun's implementation.
According to the JVM specification, section 2.1.9, "The Java virtual machine initially starts up with a single nondaemon thread, which typically calls the method main of some class. The virtual machine may also create other daemon threads for internal purposes. The Java virtual machine exits when all nondaemon threads have terminated."

Best Way to Draw A Simple Isoceles Triangle, and Fill it.

Hi,
What I assume is a relativly simple problem, ive got the coordinates of the bottom two points of an isoceles triangle, and the height, and need to draw it in Java2D. It's base will always be parrellel to the bottom of the screen.
I also need to be able to fill or not fill it very simple, what would be the best way to do this?
Thanks for your time,

Create your triangle as an instance of [java.awt.Polygon|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Polygon.html] and call [java.awt.Graphics2D.fill(Shape s)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics2D.html#fill(java.awt.Shape)] to paint the triangle to a BufferedImage or in a paintComponent override.

Looking for best way to convert 35 mm slides to digital images

Hello Apple Community,
Am researching best ways to convert several hundred 35 mm slides into digital images. There are numerous scanners/converters out there but want to ensure I get the best unit compatable with my iMac (27 inch, Late 2009). Any suggestions welcome.

For scanning 35mm slides you need a scanner with a good photometric resolution and geometric resolution.
For the photometric resolution: Get a scanner with a high density range (D-max) value, to get a good resolution of highlights and shadows.
For the geometric resolution - sharpness and detail - try to get at least 3200 dp,i to be able to get good 8"x10" prints from your scanned slides, a higher dpi value, if you want to be able to print larger images.

Best way to implement a simple read of multiple stings from a db

Hello guys,
I am trying to read a collection of countries (Strings) into a collection inside a Movie object. The countries reside in a separate DB table with a FK referencing the Movie.
My questions:
1) What is the best way to implement this? Do I need a seperate entity 'country' ? Is there a general way to read many strings into a collection?
2) the countries list does not have to be updated, only read. How do I make sure it is not persistent?
I have noticed that in my JPA implementation (in netbeans) I do not have something like CollectionOfElements (that is present in hybernate).
Thank you,
Marek

Best way to do a simple Boolean test?

Hello All,
Trying to do a simple Boolean test, but it is proving to be more complicated than I would have expected. Hoping that I am missing something simple.
I have a Labview code module that provides a Boolean value for the output. I want to evaluate this value and provide pass/fail results to the report. Sounds simple, but here is what I am running into:
-The built-in NI step type "Pass/Fail Test" will evaluate the Boolean directly with True=Pass, and False=Fail. This would be fine, except that I have situations where I need False to equal Pass. I've read a few posts that speak of inverting or negating the Boolean result, but they all involve passing the result to a parameter or variable, and then evaluating it outside of the test step. This adds several layers that I don't think I should need.
-I have read a post that suggested I convert the Boolean to a numeric inside of the code module. This does indeed make sense, but this is not practical in my situation because of the scale and implementation of my code modules. I use custom type definitions for controls and indicators from a Labview project, and would have to create a new control/indicator for every one if I wanted to change the data type.
-Next logical step was to see if the "Numeric Limit Test" would recognize a Boolean. Turns out it doesn't.
-After this, I looked into creating a custom step type. This would probably be the most useful, but it is beyond my current ability to do so. I got as far as making a copy of the built in step type and putting it in the custom "MyTypes" directory, but I have made very little progress in editing it to make it a work. Additionally, I've read a few posts that recommend avoiding custom step types.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Please advise.
Thanks,
GSinMN
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You could change the Data Source based on what value you want. Since there doesn't appear to be an logical XOR, you will need to use a case statement. For example, you could do:
Locals.Desired? Step.Result.PassFail:!Step.Result.PassFail

Basic easy noob question - best way of getting string from slider value

Hi all
I'm using a slider in my iPhone app to allow the user to select the number of days on a scale 1 - 10 for example.
I've got the following which isn't quite working and after battling for hours and hours to get my head around UINavigationControllers I really can't be bothered anymore. Can someone please just give me the answer
I want to get an int value from the slider which returns a float. here's my code I have (which again, isn't working correctly).
-(IBAction)numberofDaysSliderMoved:(id)sender {
NSNumber *theValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:numberofDaysSlider.value];
[myLabel setText:[numberFormatter stringFromNumber:theValue]];
I know it's crap code and i've probably coded the long way round but i'm just trying to get it working and i'm new to obj-C so please bare with me.
Regards
Wayne

First off - you can wrap your code here like this:
my code here
<-- no slash
Here you go:
NSNumber *sliderValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:numberofDaysSlider.value];
int intValue = [sliderValue intValue];
NSString *stringValue = [sliderValue stringValue];
Have a look as the NSNumber docs. Lots of easy ways to create and convert numbers.

Best Way to Record Narration for Slides

I'm new to Keynote.
1. I have created a 20 slide presentation.
2. I have recorded a 5-minute narration for the presentation in Garage Band.
What is my best option to put the two elements (slide show and audio) together so they sync perfectly? I'd like the end result to be a flash file that I can upload to YouTube and embed on my website.
Here are a couple possible work flows I thought may work. Am I on the right path? What would you suggest?
A. Cut my audio into 20 files and add those files to the individual Keynote pages. Then somehow turn the Keynote with the 20 audio files into a flash file.
B. Wait until Camtasia for Mac comes out next week. Then, add my audio track, import the Keynote slides (if possible), and tweak the timing in Camtasia so that the slide show and narration match up.
What do you think? Would either of these work? Am I forgetting some other obvious solution that would be easier? Thanks.

I have no experience with Flash or Camtasia, but I have used iMovie to create QuickTime slideshows that are suitable for most websites. This may be another option for you.
It's easy in iMovie to match up narration or music, or both, with individual slides, apply various effects and transitions, and export the results in formats for DVDs or websites. I have not tried importing an entire Keynote presentation into iMovie and do not know if that's possible. Keynote offers title and transition features that iMovie lacks; so the choices you make really depend on your end goals, which will determine which tools are best to get there.

Advice: best way to crop for games and animation

Title may be misleading:
Constant workflow block I run into, after creating an image that needs to be dissected for animation and games, where each part will be rigged into an animated composition (think character with limbs being separate images). It is common to make a rough draft sketch, then save the pieces as images, connect them in the animation app, and come back to make adjustments to the pieces (within the whole).
I used to cut the pieces into separate layers, crop the image to the pixels on that layer, save the image, and then undo the crop- repeat for each piece.
Downsides to this is that the crop can be different each time after making slight adjustments, causing issues with the rigged animation. Also, if for some reason the crop isn't undone history can be lost and you may have just lost the whole thing.
So I started converting the pieces to smart objects, this creates a file that is perfectly trimmed to include all pixels- but alas, editing the image occurs within the individual layer, and so it is not convenient to see how the editing will effect the whole.
Following me?
Any tips from others who have done this sort of thing in the past?

To avoid the risk of messing up the history I would recommend using a Script to save all Layers to new, trimmed files, sort of like an adaption of »Export Layers to Files «.
Maybe someone over at

could help you find an existing Script or to create one.

What best way to create a simple DB based GUI application

Hi
I want to develop a small home-use DB GUI application. My questions relate to the GUI:
1. If I want a main window to be a form containing mainly several text fileds (with labels attached) and a search button - what best layout manager would you reccomend?
2. For good-practice programming I want to seperate my backend layer from the UI layer. Is there a good design pattern on how to do so?

Best Way to Make a Simple Java Program Configurable?

I have a java program that does some stuff involving a database. It's basically a script, but I chose to use Java because of the nice JDBC facilities. Anyway, I plan to schedule a task to have the java program executed daily, but it would be nice if I could configure it without having to recompile the program every time. By configuration, I mean remembering about 6 lines of text, such as database connection address, user-name, password, spread sheet to update, etc. Since I am storing a username and password, I should also encrypt the data. Is there some standalone Java program that is made for creating config files, which would be encrypted and have some sort of an API to access all the data stored in the config file? I am basically thinking of a savable hashtable of Strings mapping keys to values where the values can be configured by some standalone application that allows the values associated with each key to be changed, preferably through a GUI. I could make this, but I figured there may already be something that does this.

SNYP40A123 wrote:
Only thing I still need is some way to hide the password that I plan to store in it.That's a completely separate issue. There could be a lot of discussion on this but basically you can't reliably hide a password that you store somewhere no matter what you do. You can do things that will prevent the idly curious from knowing it but it's a lot harder to prevent the determined cracker from knowing it.

Best way to create slide shows in PE4 and PSE 6

What's the best way to create a fancy slide show in PE 4 and PSE 6? I need to create a slide show of about 600 pictures. I'm on Windows XP with 3gb RAM. I've done this a few years ago in earlier versions of PE and PSE. Before i plunge into this again i wanted to get some overall guidance for what to do or not do.
My ultimate goal is to create a slide show that:
1. uses pan and zoom on every photo
2. transitions between every photo
3. has an audio track
4. has some nice special effects -- words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out.
My view is that it's easy to accomplish #1-3 in PSE 6; it's quite simple to create a slide show, add pan and zoom, and transitions. However, #4 is not doable because adding text and graphics can only be done on a slide at a time and only when the slide start/stops (i.e., you can't have text appear 2 secs after the slide has started displaying and stay on screen while the next slide appears). Need PE 4 to do that.
What i'm wondering is:
-- is it best to create the basic slide show in PSE6 and then export to PE 4 to do the final fancy stuff, or is it best to just create the show in PE4? Seems that doing the pans, zooms, and transitions are easiest in PSE 6.

eric,
I am going to offer some reasons NOT to start this slide show in Photoshop Elements. This is despite the fact that I have used the workflow of starting in Photoshop Elements and used the Send Slideshow to Premiere Elements in PSE5 - PE 3 and PSE7 - PE7.
1- Timing differences between the PSE and PE slide show construction and processing
There are many differences in timing between the two products. Transitions can start/end slightly offset from their timing in PSE once they arrive and are processed in PE. Same for pan and zoom. Does this matter? Well the more precise your timing, the more potential for a show stopper.
Example: one person who wanted continual motion using pan and zoom needed to go modify the transition positioning and the keyframing of the pan/zooms on every single slide after sending a slideshow from PSE to PRE.
2- your requirement to
"words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out."
You can't really sync the audio to a slide in PSE. The text can't move or fade in/out. I think that it will be more grief to retrofit these functions to a slide show that was created in PSE than it will be to do the all the work in Premiere Elements.
3- "Add the sound track for the ENTIRE slide show (this will be longer than i currently have slides for because i don't have all the photos"
I am suspicious that adding the ENTIRE sound track in one PSE slide show will not work.
I have done multiple sends from PSE slide show editor to Premiere Elements. However, I decided on the approach of using no audio in the PSE slideshow editor and adding Audio in Premiere Elements AFTER sending all the slide shows.
Again, your objective of syncing specific photos to music points is good artistically - but I am concerned that it will make your PSE to PRE workflow problematic.
4- "as new photos arrive, do the arrangement/pans/zooms in PSE and move them to PE"
As Steve mentioned when you do subsequent sends of the slideshow, it appends to the end - does not seem to fit your objective of replacing part of the middle.
Also if you get new photos in for the second section of the slideshow - but over in Premiere Elements you had already made other changes in the second section. There is no function to combine new changes doen in PSE and changes done in PE for that same "section" of the slideshow.
5- you did not say whether you will be outputting this slide show in Full Screen or Widescreen format. Will you be burning a DVD? If you will be doing widescreen output, additional problems with specifying pan/zoom in PSE have been identified on various forums because the PSE pan/zoom boxes are not widescreen aspect ratio.
Conclusion:
Some of my comments here are definitely subjective - however, it is my overall conclusion that your objectives and work plan are not a good fit for the Photoshop Elements slide show editor to Premiere Elements workflow.
My perspective on the Photoshop Elements slide show editor is that it is designed to simple, quick and easy. Therefore it has limitations.

Best way to perform third party app integration in version 4.6

I am working with a third-party vendor offering a freight and transportation rate software (Bourque Rateserver and Railtrac).
From our 4.6 system, we need to perform relatively simple remote SQL statements (inserts, call stored procs, reads). We attempted to code these operations with EXEC SQL abap statements, but ran into permissions problems on the remote system. We do not want to deploy middleware (XI, other EAI tools). Can anyone provide thought on the best way to develop this simple integration?

Hi Robert,
We have a very similar requirement... to call a stored procedure on Borque RAILTRAC system to get the Rail Freight Rate at the time of creating a Sales Order. Can you please give me more details on how you have implemented the call to the stored procedure and how the RFC connection is established? Thanks a lot.
