Blank Canvas Problem - Newbie

Just started using Motion today.
When I start a Tutorial, Template or even a blank file the canvas stays white and won't display anything.
If I set the video output to my second monitor the project plays back perfectly but still nothing on the canvas.
I've reinstalled but it still doesn't work.
I've been through al the prefs etc. and nothing seems to be out of place.
Any help appreciated.

I solved this through discussion with phone support.
I swapped my two 30" monitors about.
I connected my primary monitor to the second 7300 card.
I then swapped the 'virtual layout' in monitor prefs so that even if the monitor was connected to card 2 it was set in software to be my primary monitor.
This solved the problem !!

How to insert an image onto a blank canvas doc?

i am trying to create a blank canvas (700 width and 400 length) and then insert a photo onto it. I am trying to make slides for a slideshow on my website's home page.
PLEASE help. i am new to photoshop and i have been searching for an answer. I have a MAC

This forum is intended to specifically support the Photoshop Getting Started experience, and in the future you'll likely get a faster response in the Photoshop forum. That said, here's what you want to do:
Open Photoshop
Select File, New
Enter the size you want, you may need to change the size drop down to pixels
Clock OK to create the blank canvas
Select File, Place, this will let you select the image to insert
I'll just add that if you want to create a web page slideshow, then you probably want to use Photoshop to edit or resize the images, and then Dreamweaver to actually build the web pager slideshow.

Photo CS6 won't let me drag my photo to a blank canvas

I try to put it on the blank canvas and it won't. Nothing pops up saying it can't. It just won't go on the canvas. I'm new to photoshop so if anyone knows how to help please be detailed. Thank you!

What is the Mode of the blank canvas? It needs to something like sRGB if it is a colour image you are trying to add to the canvas.
Is the image also open in Photoshop, or are you trying to drag it from outside Photoshop, and if so, where from?
What operating system are you using? (Windows 7? Apple 10.???

Xcelsius 2008 5.4.0.0 - XLF file - All components missing/blank canvas

xcelsius 2008 5.4.0.0 build 12,4,0,1166 --
working on a xlf file - save it -- go to reopen it and get a blank canvas -- look in object browser and ALL objects are missing - none showing
did the resedit thing removing the en file --
rebooted windows and xcelsius several times
tried to go into preview mode -- nothing there
tried doing an export to html and viewing html -- nothing there
other observations --indicating it may not be the "typical flash" issue
#1 - other XLF files open and objects are there and act and behave normally
#2 - other html files etc all operate fine
somehow something is corrupted - had a wierd thing when i started up - it showed the split screen components were there etc -- but then the program seemed to crash - and then the sap window came up and it started up again - there might have been a warning that it was busy or retry or something -- that is the only thing i noticed
using newer components -- bubble chart - but nothing really out of the ordinary
please help - would hate to rebuild -- DO have the underlying data in xlf and exported it to xls so im safe there
thanks

With SP1 and FP3 this issue is resolved. Closing thread.

Resize a photo over a blank canvas

This has got to be easy, but I sure can't figure out how to do it. I created a blank canvas (new file) 3.5 x 5.5 inches. I then open a photo, and drag it from "Show Open Files" window to the blank canvas in the main editing window. The photo is much, much larger, but I can't figure out to make sizing handles appear so I can drag the corner of the photo and size it (actually a portion of the photo) to fit over the blank canvas. Adobe Elements Help says to double click on the photo to make the sizing handles appear, but this does nothing. Help!
Thanks.
William

Click on the move tool. Then click inside the image.

Ultrabeat...can i start on a blank canvas?

Hi
JUst gettin to grips with logic and was trying to find out if I can have ultrabeat open as a blank canvas with no presets so i can just use my own sounds and samples??
thanks

You cannot init Ultrabeat with one command. However, if you control-click on the individual instrument names, you can init each voice. You could make an initialized set, and save that with the name #default. Then it will load every time you insert Ultrabeat.
regards, Erik.

Is blank canvas no longer an option for layout in Pages?

Hi everyone,
I really hope there is help for me. I am not an advanced user of photoshop, nor do I have access to CS4. For this reason I do all my photo editing and publishing in Pages. Crazy right? Well now with the new pages (OS X) there is no layout for blank canvas. I rely on the blank canvas to let me play with objects as I wish. Does anyone know if that is gone now? Or am I just not finding it?
Please help!

Hi Trailgirl
Thank you so much. That has been driving me crazy.
Cheers Phil x

I try to copy a selection into new blank canvas however the layer in the new canvas becomes gray/black/white, did i wrongly click on something ? Please help , Thank you in advance

Hi Gurus,
I have a beginner in photoshop , I tried to copy a selection into new blank canvas however the layer in the new canvas becomes gray/black/white, did i wrongly click on something ? Please help , Thank you in advance

How did you open the new document? What Image mode is the document in and what exactly did you copy to the clipboard? What was the current Photoshop target when you did the copy? Was it a straight copy or a copy merge etc...

Java3D Disappearing canvas problem

I have a Canvas3D embedded in a JPanel, which is embedded in a JTabbedPane. When I resize the application, on average about one time out of six or so, the Canvas3D won't repaint properly and I'm left with an empty gray panel.
The recommended solution to this problem (which hasn't worked for me) is to subclass Canvas3D and override the paint method to call Toolkit.sync().
I'm using Java 1.5.0_06 and Java3D 1.4 (latest "release" build)
Here's some sample code to reproduce the problem:
    public static void main(String[] args){
        // Main Application Frame
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        // Frame contains one component - a tabbed pane
        JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
        frame.getContentPane().add(tabbedPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        // First tab in tabbed pane is blank blue panel
        JPanel bluePanel = new JPanel();
        bluePanel.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
        tabbedPane.add("Blank", bluePanel);
        // Second tab in tabbed pane contains the canvas enclosed in a JPanel
        JPanel panel3D = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
        Canvas3D canvas3D = new Canvas3D(SimpleUniverse.getPreferredConfiguration()){
            public void paint(Graphics g) {
                super.paint(g);
                Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync();
        panel3D.add(canvas3D, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        tabbedPane.add("3D", panel3D);
        // Create a simple universe with a root branch grouop
        SimpleUniverse universe = new SimpleUniverse(canvas3D);
        universe.getViewingPlatform().setNominalViewingTransform();
        BranchGroup bgRoot = new BranchGroup();
        // Create a colored cube that is slightly rotated
        TransformGroup tg = new TransformGroup();
        Transform3D transform = new Transform3D();
        transform.rotY(Math.PI / 8.0d);
        tg.setTransform(transform);
        tg.addChild(new ColorCube(0.2));
        // Place the cube inside the universe and compile
        bgRoot.addChild(tg);
        bgRoot.compile();
        universe.addBranchGraph(bgRoot);
        // Display the frame
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize(500,500);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

After experimenting with this for a while, I can confirm this issue happens even if you don't use a JTabbedPane (i.e. you have a Canvas3D inside a JPanel inside a JFrame). Seems to be a race condition of some sort, because the following (ugly) piece of code will solve the problem (for now):
        Canvas3D canvas3D = new Canvas3D(SimpleUniverse.getPreferredConfiguration()){
            public void paint(Graphics g) {
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(100);
                } catch (Exception e){}
                super.paint(g);
//                Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync();
        };    Would really appreciate input from anyone who has experienced a similar problem. Thanks.

IIS, Javascript, Signed Applet and ASP Blank Page Problem

Hi,
I'm having a problem using a Signed Applet in a site that runs in a IIS (Windows Server 2003).
My aspx web page uses the applet to read my smart card and get information from it.
This applet uses an auxiliar dll (stored in a second Signed Jar file) in order to read the information from my smart card.
The way the solution is design:
1) Aspx page is asked from server
2) Internet Explorer recieve the page and asks the server for it content (images, applet, javascripts, etc)
3) After this the JVM runs (console opens)
4) After the Aspx page render fully a javascript register onload fires and call an applet method
5) Applet receive the call and run the logic of the method:
     - reads the smart card;
     - calls Javascript function in order to fill aspx fields with information from smart card
     - calls Javascript function the simulates a click in a botton of aspx page (in order to call server side part sending data readed from smart card to server)
5) The server makes some logic with the information receive and responds to client registering in aspx page a call to another Javascrit function
6) The client received the asnwer from server and runs the Javascript function registered on step 5)
     This Javascript calls another method from applet and runs the following logic:
     - reads more information from smart card;
     - call javascript function in order to fill more fields of aspx page with the information readed
     - calls Javascript function the simulates a click in a botton of aspx page (in order to call server side part sending data readed from smart card to server)
7) The server makes some logic and call another pages with no Applets
8) Client asks for a second page with the same applet and we start with another logic express on steps 1);2);3),4);5) and then 7).
This is all ok, until sometimes the server stop responding correcly for requests regarding this two pages with the Applet.
When this happens the server just responds with a blank page.
     - with fiddler I can seer the request for the aspx page (that uses the applet)
     - but server responds with a blank html page
The JVM doesn't fire.
The IIS log don't show errors.
The eventviewer doesn't show errors.
The problem is solved with an IIS reset or a Application Pool reset.
After a while the problem returns.
This problem occours for other user in another machine, the server just stops responding correcly to request regarding pages with applets, the other pages still continue to work.
If we disable Java Control Panel->Advanced->Java Plug-in->Enable the next-generation Java Plug-in the problem seend to stop, but we can't force all clients to disable this option right?
Or there is a way to force the Applet to run with this option disabled?
As anyone experience similar problem?
Regards,
OF

This is all ok, until sometimes the server stop responding correcly for requests regarding this two pages with the Applet.
When this happens the server just responds with a blank page.
- with fiddler I can seer the request for the aspx page (that uses the applet)
- but server responds with a blank html pageWell, if http requests look identical in case of success and failure (pay attention to cookies, etc) then it has to be something on the server side.
It could be that server gets into this wrong state because of previous requests made by applet but it is hard to tell.
I am not clear how old/new plugin can make a difference unless your applets run in the legacy mode (i.e. you are actually trying to reuse SAME instance of the applet when
it is loaded next time).
I'd start with
1) carefully comparing good/bad sessions
2) checking whether server will serve correct response to another client when it serves "bad" page for current client
3) add debug statements to aspx - it is scripted page, may be some condition is not met and then it returns blank?
4) record all http requests in one session until you get to "error" state and then use any http server testing tool to "replay" this set of requests.
You should be able to get server into the same state without use of applet. Then you can try to tweak set of requests to see what makes a difference.

How to downgrade kernel 3.10 - blank screen problem after upgrade

After a recent upgrade, which included kernel 3.10, my ASUS zenbook ux21a boots into a blank screen as reported in these topics:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167411
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167463
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167518
How do I downgrade to kernel 3.9, please?
On this laptop I only have dual boot Arch and Win8 (but also a vacant partition). My grub timeout is set to 0 seconds because I almost never use windows, hence my problem is to get any control of the PC. I have attempted a fresh install from USB, but it takes me into exactly the same blank screen. I also attempted install of the older arch version, which went ok until post-installation reboot, following which I ended up with the same blank screen - probably because during the installation the new kernel 3.10 was downloaded.
I read in the above topics that people solved the problem by downgrading the kernel - somehow via chrooting from live arch usb. I lack knowledge on how to perform the kernel downgrade - perhaps someone can give instructions or at least tips how to get started.
Interestingly, the same kernel 3.10 upgrade did not cause problems on a very similar predecessor model ASUS us21e - this info may help the advanced guys to diagnose the source of the problem.

Thanks, andrekp, but it didn't work on my UX21A.
Here's what I did (screen stays black all throughout):
1. Boot the computer. I believe this takes me to login promt at tty1.
2. I login by blindly entering userid, <enter>, password, <enter>
3. speaker-test <enter> - I hear noise. Ctl+c to get out (noise stops).
4. Switch to tty2 by pressing ctl+alt+f2.
5. In tty2, I login by blindly entering userid, <enter>, password, <enter>; then speaker-test successful on tty2.
6. Switch back to tty1 by pressing ctl+alt+f1; speaker-test successful again on tty1.
7. Type startx. I assume that X and openbox are started successfully: I start lxterminal by pressing my custom short-cut keys combo that I specified in openbox's rc.xml; and speaker-test gives me audible noise from within lxterminal.
Again, screen stayed dark as night all the time, so the problem remains.
As my time allows, I try to come up to speed and follow/replicate the attempts to identify/resolve this problem made by more advanced guys in other topics:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167411
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167463
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167518
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167314
The problem originally arose at # pacman -Syu, which included kernel upgrade from 3.9.9 to 10.3.3. After a later upgrade to 10.3.5, the problem remains. I've enabled 'testing' repositories on my other laptop, UX21E (which doesn't have this problem despite being the closest model!) - and I wait for the new 'testing' kernel to be released in arch, hoping to do a blind upgrade on UX21A and that it solves the problem. I also monitor https://www.kernel.org for when kernel 3.11 becomes available. If I manage to install kernel 3.11 even before it's released in arch-testing, maybe the problem will be gone...
In the mean time, I keep using the UX21A computer having installed Lubuntu on another partition (it has kernel 3.8).
Thanks again!

(another) stacked canvas on content canvas problem

I've searched the forums for the last 2+ hours and can't find a solution for my problem, although there are hundreds of questions on this subject.
I have a stacked canvas on top of a content canvas. The canvases share the same window. They also share a data block. I added radio buttons on the main canvas to "show/hide" the stacked (my ultimate goal is to have 2-3 stacked and toggle. When hide, the stacked canvas is hidden, but when i click show, it is not. I understand reading all the posts that the block with focus will display, and I've added both a go_block and go_item prior to the show_view. Below is my code. MEL_DETAILS is content and MEL_LINE_ITEM is stacked.
IF :stack = 'SHOW_STACK' THEN
GO_BLOCK('MEL_ITEM');
GO_ITEM('MEL_ITEM.MIS_PROJECT_NO');
SHOW_VIEW('MEL_LINE_ITEM');
SET_VIEW_PROPERTY('MEL_LINE_ITEM', visible, property_true);
SET_VIEW_PROPERTY('MEL_LINE_ITEM', display_position, 718, 583);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('PROJECTS.STACK',MOUSE_NAVIGATE,PROPERTY_FALSE); -- radio button
ELSif :stack = 'HIDE_STACK' THEN
HIDE_VIEW('MEL_LINE_ITEM');
SET_VIEW_PROPERTY('MEL_LINE_ITEM', visible, property_false);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('PROJECTS.STACK',MOUSE_NAVIGATE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
END IF;

Print extra blank pages & problem receiving faxes

Hi -- My Photosmart C7280 All-In-One begins most printing jobs by printing out a blank page. Also, if I'm printing multiple pages, many of them will be blank (but the document prints in entirety) It doesn't matter if I'm printing a Word document (which I know has a conflict with HP, and which I also know does not have a blank second page at the end), or an attachment to an e-mail, or information from a web page, or even pritnting an envelope. In fact, I have to let the envelope roll through blank, wait for the error message that there is no paper in the tray, then shoot it through again before I'll receive a printed envelope. Also, if I'm copying multiple pages I'll receive the extra blank pages, but not if I'm copying pages one at a time.
Also, I used to be able to receive a fax automatically. The call would go to my recorded message. As soon as it ended, the incoming fax was recognized and it would print. It doesn't do that any more. I have to manually pick up the receiver of the phone before the machine will begin receiving the fax.
My HP printer is on a network. I can't remember if it still worked or not after we placed it on the network. Also, I recently downloaded IE 8.
This has been frustrating me for months, but have not had the time to seek help till now.

I have the same problem - print a document and a few seconds later a blank page comes out.... Any ideas?

Extra blank space problem in af:selectOneChoice

Hi All,
I m using <af:selectOneChoice> to display few items in combo box. Now the problem is when the page gets load 1st time, its show an extra blank space in item list, but after selecting any item from the list page gets refreshed and reload again, now it does not have any extra blank space in the list.
How do I remove this blank space from the combo box ???

Hi Usha,
1. Remove the Condition from you Context tab.
2. In the Driver Program check for the condition and fill the value in the internal table which is passed to
the adobe form.
3. Make the subform (under which the field is added in the hierarchy view) as flowed.
4. In the script editor, Select the 'javascript' and write the script to hide the form field specifying the condition here.
for e.g
if (xfa.form.FORM.SUB_FORM.matnr == "123") {
xfa.form.FORM.SUB_FORM.Region = "hidden";
NOTE: Javascript is Case sensitive and stops working immediately after the line of code where an error occurs.
Hope this proves to be useful.
Thanks,
Swar.

Another Drag and Drop from horizontal list to canvas problem

Hi,
This is vaguely similar to the this
topic
but I seem to have made things even more complicated.
Basic set up is a horizontal list that uses a custom
component itemrenderer to display a thumbnail and label:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="100" height="120" verticalAlign="top" verticalGap="3"
verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalAlign="center"
backgroundAlpha="0.0" alpha="1.0">
<mx:Image id="img" height="60" width="80"
source="assets/{data.file}" scaleContent="true"/>
<mx:Label text="{data.text}" fontWeight="bold"
width="100%" textAlign="center"/>
</mx:VBox>
The data is loaded up from an external XML file with this
sort of format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<thumbnails>
<thumb>
<file>thumb_image_1.jpg</file>
<text>Thumb 1</text>
<url>
http://www.blah.com</url>
<id>thumb1</id>
</thumb>
</thumbnails>
That's loaded up using the HTTPService and stored in a Model
thing.
I've got the dragging from the HL happening quite nicely and
it drops fine on to the canvas area, code all hack off from the
help files. The problem I'm having is finding out the data about
the item I've just dropped, I should at least be able to get the
source url for the thumbnail and the label text string, but I just
don't know how to get it. The call back I'm using looks like this:
private function doDragDrop(event:DragEvent,
target1:Canvas):void {
var vX:int = target1.mouseX;
var vY:int = target1.mouseY;
var vW:int = target1.width;
var vH:int = target1.height;
// follow variables give relative coordinate values so that
if window size is altered
// we don't have to do tricky calulations to reset rating
positions.
var vRx:Number = vX/vW;
var vRy:Number = vY/vH;
Alert.show(event.dragSource + " " + vX + " " + vY + " " +
vRx + " " + vRy, 'Mouse drop loc', mx.controls.Alert.OK);
I just don't know how to get the info out of the
event.dragSource.

This in the drop handler should give you back the XML you
just dropped:
var getListData:XML=
evtDrag.dragSource.dataForFormat("items");
