Can haz animation advice? squiggling line

Hi, kinda new to flash animation, and i'm probably taking on something too intense... just wanted some advice.
So I'm trying to animate a logo. I have story-boarded the basics of the animation in Illustrator. Here it is.
Imagine you squirt some silly-string underwater, and at the end of the silly string is a heavy marble. The string shoots out and the marble pulls the elastic string tight and recoils. The string recoils into the wordmark.
I know i can have the whole line from the beginning, just masked off and revealed as it motion-tweens to the left.
I know i can tweak 'easing' to give it some organic reality.
But i need to figure out how to create the basic line animation...
- I can't seem to get a decent shape tween (or multiple jerky shape tweens). I hate that my smooth pen-tool created line in flash ultimately breaks down to a basic mushy pixel-based 'drawing object' and loses the math.
- I have considered constructing a chain of IK bones made of like 300 little circles... seriously? i mean i can do it, but i think IK eats up memory?
- I don't know too much actionscript, though i'm not terrible at math... and would settle for a modified sine-wave sorta thing.
any thoughts?

I did some further Investigation on my own. Actually YES YOU CAN EXPORT VIDEO DIRECTLY from flash to AVI - MOV
just select export/export movie/avi
From there you can select the output resolution and have full HD 1920x1080.

Can open PDF's on line but not downloaded files!

I had problems downloading/upgrading Adobe 9 until advised to remove Adobe download manager and start again. This I actioned and I now have Adobe 9 on my system. However, before I actioned the above I was advised to try at start up clicking F8 (I believe?) and adjust my resolution down to 800 x 600 - this I did, but, it made no difference, Adobe 9 upgrade would not load. I now find I can open PDF's on line with my upgraded Adobe 9 in full screen resolution, but, all the earlier PDF's on file reduce my screen to 800 x 600 res and still don't open. Is it possible to go back to the first action, click F8 at start up, etc, as detailed above, and reverse it? If it is can someone please repeat the actions I must make i.e. is it F8 I click when I start up my computer, and, what do I then click on the screen, etc, I would be most grateful!

OK - I have looked at what actions advice I was given and it was - Press F8 @ advanced startup options, select VGA mode, Dialog box click OK to start Windows.....could this have restructured my screen resolution for existing PDFs?

Well hi to those few who actually looked at my problem and what a pity no one has been able to help me. It is pretty obvious Adobe doesn't monitor these web pages otherwise I might have been thanking them for their help in sorting my problem out - fat chance!

Syncing via the Books tab on your computer's iTunes only syncs books to the iBooks app. If you want the PDFs in Adode Reader or the Kinlde then you will need to sync them via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes - I don't think that iBooks supports the direct copying of PDFs from it to other apps

Can I enter a subject line into automated emails from the web?

Hi everyone
I'm setting up a button on my website to enable visitors to subscribe to my mailing list.
The button opens up a new email, addressed to me, which the visitors will send back to me, thus giving me their email address.
Is there any way I can fill in the subject line for these emails so it says something like "Add me to your mailing list".
I suppose it's a bit like when you email photos from iPhoto and the subject line e.g. "10 great photos" is already filled in.
Would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance

You need to break it down into several pieces:
1. An event that causes mail to be sent.
2. Creation of the content to include in the mail.
3. Creation and sending of the mail message.
JavaMail will help you with #3. The rest are up to you.
JavaMail comes with several examples that show you
how to create a mail message and send it, given the
email address of the recipient, the content, the mail
server address, etc.
There's also pointers to many documents and tutorials
that will help you learn JavaMail. See the JavaMail
web site. And don't forget to read the FAQ.

Can it not possible that i can retrive it for all line items in a single qu

I have to make report for my application in which I am facing a following problem:
In the application there are multiple suppliers and each supplier having multiple line items and each item having multipale events. each evant having three status GREEN,RED and BLUE.
When a user select 'all suppliers' to show the the status time span for a supplier (i.e. for a supplier how many parts and upto how much time parts are in blue, red and green status)
to show the cumulative status time span I have to find out a event for each line item which is having nearest lower entry time from the lower part of the given time span.for this i have write following query
SELECT * FROM parts_events
WHERE vendorid = ? AND partid = ?
AND visible = 'visible' AND active = 1
AND entrytime = (SELECT MAX(entrytime) as
entrytime from parts_events
WHERE vendorid = ?
AND partid = ?
AND entrytime < ?
AND visible = 'visible'
AND active = 1)
the problem is that i have to fire this query for each line item, can it not possible that i can retrive it for all line items in a single query?

maybe if you can post some sample data and output will help us analyze more youre requirement.

Can you have two phone lines?

I was just wondering if you can have two phone lines going to the same house one for home and one for business?
If yes how would they do it? Just connect another line from the telephone graph to the house?
Many Thanks Luke

You can have as many phone lines to your house as you like: each pays rental.
I work from home so have two.
One is for phone calls only, t'other has my broadband and BTV on it.
The phone calls only has unlimited 24/7 calls; the second comes with after 1900-0700 and free weekend calls.
Shame BT are phasing out BT BB Talk; under that regime every customer has two phone number/lines on one copper/fibre connection

Can you view text outside of the canvas? as with the view menu you can see animation paths, bounding boxes and handles??? many thanks

re: Motion 5
can you view text outside of the canvas? as when using the view menu you can see animation paths, bounding boxes and handles???
I'm in the middle of a text animation design treatment and unless my memory is completely failing I thought this was an option.
An example would be selecting all layers and being able to see all bounding boxes and animation paths while moving along the timeline.
Of course this could be quite a mess if you couldn't selectively chose which layers, its just with this current project it would be so helpful if
I could see the text beyond the canvas to aid in my animations.
many thanks,
robert

thanks for both of your responses
I do understand shift + v " to "Show Full View Area" and shift + z to fill screen, etc.
and command + & - for zooming
what I'd like to do is selectively view, say, the text outside of the canvas as you can see the bounding box
which contains the text or object when selecting one or all layers in the layers column
I haven't used this feature in a while though I do recall using it in the past.
Any help would greatly appreciated
thanks,

know what's going on? Please see the link for more.... I believe that I setup
everything correctly and the bugs still flying in the server....

Hi!
This is a possible solution to your problem.
import java.io.*;
class AddressExtractor {
 public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
 //retrieve the commandline parameters
 String fileName = "default.html";
 if (args.length != 0) fileName =args[0];
 else {
 System.out.println("Usage : java AddressExtractor <htmlfile>");
 System.exit(0);
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileName)));
 StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(in);
 st.lowerCaseMode(true);
 st.wordChars('/','/'); //include '/' chars as part of token
 st.wordChars(':',':'); //include ':' chars as part of token
 st.quoteChar('\"'); //set the " quote char
 int i;
 while (st.ttype != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
 i = st.nextToken();
 if (st.ttype == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD) {
 if (st.sval.equals("href")) {
 i = st.nextToken(); //the next token (assumed) is the '=' sign
 i = st.nextToken(); //then after it is the href value.
 getURL(st.sval); //retrieve address
 in.close();
 static void getURL(String s) {
 //Check string if it has http:// and truncate if it does
 if (s.indexOf("http://") > -1) {
 s = s.substring(s.indexOf("http://") + 7, s.length());
 //check if not mailto: do not print otherwise
 if (s.indexOf("mailto:") != -1) return;
 //printout anything after http:// and the next '/'
 //if no '/' then print all
 if (s.indexOf('/') > -1) {
 System.out.println(s.substring(0, s.indexOf('/')));
 } else System.out.println(s);
}Hope this helps. I used static methods instead of encapsulating everyting into a class.

You aren't attached to a bluetooth headset or other device for some strange reason? Or even an automobile bluetooth, I have a friend that has this issue with his Prius because even when it is not running the bluetooth is still active and connects to his phone.

Can I hide the Address line through a URL?

Can I hide the address line (and button bar, and menu bar) from a URL address? We are generating an Oracle report, and I was hoping to be able to hide the address bar when the report is opened in a new window. Since the report server creates the html to show the report I can't control it there (or can I?).
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
the only way of achieving this is to call a Javascript function on teh page that initiates the Reports request. Thsi Javascript function would do a window.open() call where you specify the Reports request URL and all the browser window characteristics, like hiding the menu bar.
