Concluding an animation before changing scenes

Hey everybody, this is my first post.
I've been working on my website for a while now and I'm
finding myself a little lost. If you take a look at my website, a
grey background drops down behind a blue background revealing that
pages text and information. What I cant figure out is how to make
the grey background retract back into the blue, then go to the next
scene (after clicking another link). Below is the link to my flash
website. Any help would be much appreciated!! Thank you.

No, I don't know of any... I doubt there is anything this
specific. Your best bet is to think it thru, and if necessary,
dirty up some paper with a pencil.
Have two variables, one indicating which page is open, and
one to indicate which page is to be opened.
var currentPage; // assigned by whatever page starts to
unfurl
var nextPage; // assigned by the button that gets clicked
Then, when you run the gray area back to where it came from,
have its dying breath tell whatever function or mechanism you
devise to make the "nextPage" open. It's then reborn to a new life,
announcing itself as the new "currentPage".
If you use an actionscript-based tween for the gray area
movement, then you'll need a listener to detect when it's done to
trigger opening the next page. If you use a timeline tween, you
only need to command the nextPage to open in the very last frame of
its rollback animation.
Until a different button is clicked, the nextPage and
currentPage would have the same value, in which case, if the next
button that is clicked is the same button, you can ignore the
request to close the page.

How to insert animation before and after this animation template??

I'm using the file from the online template below, but am going to replace the flag with a man's tie that's going to be "flapping in the wind" momentarily.
BUT I need to add a small amount of animation before this "flapping" animation begins, as well as after it, and I only want the flapping to last about 1.5 seconds or so - not continually looping.
http://www.senocular.com/flash/source.php?id=0.188
I don't know how to even begin to add the animation I need before/after, and to edit the time down on the looping. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

change the flag to your tie and change the onEnterFrame loop:
use
loopI = setInterval(loopF,40);
to start the waving and use:
clearInterval(loopI);
to stop the waving.
function loopF(){
    // move the matrix by speed along x to shift the noise
    shift.translate(speed, 0);
    // drawing in the perlin movie clip,
    // create a rectangle with the perlin noise
    // drawn in it with an offset supplied by the
    // shift matrix
    with (displace_mc.perlin){
        clear();
        beginBitmapFill(noiseBitmap, shift);
        moveTo(0,0);
        lineTo(ramp._width, 0);
        lineTo(ramp._width, ramp._height);
        lineTo(0, ramp._height);
        lineTo(0, 0);
        endFill();
    // draw the displacement movie clip in the
    // displaceBitmap (used in displaceFilter)
    displaceBitmap.draw(displace_mc);
    // apply displaceFilter to the flag
    flag_mc.filters = [displaceFilter];
updateAfterEvent();

JavaFX - applying rotation transformation - preserving transformation state before changing rotation parameters

Hi folks, let me ask you for a help with my animation experiments.
case:
- ball (sphere) is moving and rotating in one direction around RotationAxis1. Rotate transform is set on the object, rotating ball by setting rotation.setAngle(angle1)
- ball hits a wall
- rotation axes changes, now the ball rotates around RotationAxis2, new rotation for this axis starts at angle2=0
issue:
what i basically need is to preserve (save/apply) rotation transformation to the object, before changing axis and angle to new values, otherwise I am getting ugly change in the object rotation
If there would be object.rotateBy() and it would preserve it's state, I would not have such problem, as I could call
object.rotateBy(angle); object.setRotationAxis(...), object.rotateBy(newAngle);
Following piece of code works for me, it preserves current rotation state, just as it would keep creating new objects and adding transformations, this can't really be used in a real scenario:
        getTransforms().add(rotate);
    private void resetRotation() {
        rotate = new Rotate(0, 0, 0, 0, new Point3D( motion.dy, -motion.dx, 0));
        getTransforms().add(rotate); //keeps current rotation state and starts a new rotation
        //TODO: IT WORKS BUT IT WOULD CASE MEMORY AND PERFORMANCE LEAK - FIX IS NEEDED!
what I am looking for is something like:
    private void resetRotation() {
        getTransforms().remove(rotate);
        applyTransformation(rotate);     //can not find anything like this
        rotate = new Rotate(0, 0, 0, 0, new Point3D( motion.dy, -motion.dx, 0));
        getTransforms().add(rotate); //keeps current rotation state and starts a new rotation
Any hint ?
Thanks!

Some questions about how to change scenes

i have something like the following:
fxml (view/main/MainMenu.fxml):
<Scene fx:controller="view.main.CtrlMainMenu" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" stylesheets="view/main/main.css">
    <GridPane xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" alignment="center" id="backgorund" hgap="10" vgap="10">
        
        <VBox spacing="8" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.rowIndex="1">
            <Button text="Start" onAction="#Start"/>
            <Button text="Options" onAction="#Options"/>
            <Button text="Exit" onAction="#Exit"/>
        </VBox>
    </GridPane>
</Scene>main loop (cotroller/main.java):
public class main extends Application{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        launch(main.class, args);
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception{
        stage.setTitle(CtrlLanguage.get(CtrlLanguage.TITLE));
        CtrlMainMenu main = new CtrlMainMenu();
        Scene scene = main.main();          //don't know how to make Scene scene = (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("MainMenu.fxml")); work on here since MainMenu.fxml is in view/main while the main class is in controller and ended up putting CtrlMainMenu in the view although is not very correct
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.setWidth(1080);
        stage.setHeight(720);
        stage.show();
}view controller (view/main/CtrlMainMenu.java):
public class CtrlMainMenu{
    //other buttons actions
    public Scene main() throws Exception{
        return (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("MainMenu.fxml"));
    @FXML protected void Start(ActionEvent event){
    @FXML protected void Options(ActionEvent event){
    @FXML protected void Exit(ActionEvent event){
        System.exit(0);          //is there any other way to finish the program than using a system.exit?
}got few questions currently:
1. i'd like to be able to keep using CtrlMainMenu for other buttons while the ones that appear there go to the main (since will be reusing those classes from other scenes)
tried adding fx:controller on panes instead of the scene, but it doesnt work at all (it crashes) else directly in CtrlMainMenu change the scenes of the stage, but then, i have to send the stage to every controller i use? (or how do i know the stage of the scene?)
and in the case of options, i'd like after done, go back to the previous scene, is that possible? if so, how?
2.if i want to implement languages, how do i do to change the text? tried with setText() but depending on where do i put it, it crashes, so dont know where do i have to put it
3.im doing a game that may have different number of players, so, is there some way to erase/hide/add data from a gridpane with fxml?

1. ok, found the way to change scenes, with this way:
@FXML protected void Start(ActionEvent event) throws Exception{
     Node node = (Node)event.getSource();
     Stage stage = (Stage)node.getScene().getWindow();
     Scene scene = (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("../view/main/MainMenu.fxml"));     //this is just an example, will change to go to another scene
     stage.setScene(scene);
     stage.show();
}but now i have another problem, when i click on the button the stage scene is changed, but the scene is transformed to a very small one at the top left (the size seems the same as when i dont put the set width/height on the stage when creating it), the stage size remains the same, and when i resize the window, it gets "repaired"
the options, i thought on using a pane over the current pane so this way instead of going back would be just removing that new pane, would that work well?
2. found about languages that is by using <Label text="%myText"/> and java.util.ResourceBundle but don't know how to use it, can someone provide me an example, please?
3. still haven't looked on it...

Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
Thanks for any help!

This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

I want to change my store and it says that I have a 0.11$ credit and should spend it how before changing stores how can I do it?

You can use your remaining store credit by purchasing an item, and paying the extra amount using a credit card, debit card, or if your country's store supports it, your PayPal or Click&Buy account.
I you don't have an alternate payment method you can provide, then you will need to contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

Turn Time Machine OFF temporarily in its preference pane. Leave the window open.
Navigate in the Finder to your backup disk, and then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the top level of the volume. If you back up over a network, you'll first have to mount the disk image file containing your backups by double-clicking it. Descend into the folder until you see the snapshots, which are represented by folders with a name that begins with the date of the snapshot. Find the one you want to restore from. There's a link named "Latest" representing the most recent snapshot. Use that one, if possible. Otherwise, you'll have to remember the date of the snapshot you choose.
Inside the snapshot folder is a folder hierarchy like the one on the source disk. Find one of the items you can't restore and select it. Open the Info dialog for the selected item. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you may see an entry in the access list that shows "Fetching…" in the Name column. If so, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog and authenticate. Then delete the "Fetching…" item from the icon list. Click the gear icon below the list and select Apply to enclosed items from the popup menu.
Now you should be able either to copy the item in the Finder or to restore it in the time-travel view. If you use the time-travel view, be sure to select the snapshot you just modified. If successful, repeat the operation with the other items you were unable to restore. You can select multiple items in the Finder and open a single Info dialog for all of them by pressing the key combination option-command-I.
When you're done, turn TM back ON and close its preference pane.

HT1657 How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

You can always setup your GMail account on your Mac as a POP3 account, and then flag GMail to mark all messages new. The next mail check would cause your mail app to download all the messages on teh GMail server to your mail client. Once they are in your mail client, you manage them locally in there, and it won't matter if the GMail host account goes away or not, because POP3 works with the local data once it is downloaded form the server.
Be advised that doing this can cause you to redownload thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of emails depending upon your email volume and how long you have been using GMail. If I do this, my GMail wants to re-send close to 6GB of data to me again because I have been using GMail for about as long as it has existed, and I average 100-200 emails a day on that account.

Changing scene when comboBox changed

Hi,
I'm a complete newbie to Flash and programming, so please forgive my lack of knowledge! I have been trying for a good couple of hours now to do what I'd think would be a simple task - change scene when the value in a comboBox is changed.
This is the code I have:
stop();
dropdown.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changemade);
function changemade(event:Event):void {
gotoAndPlay("main", 1);
However I get the following error:
"1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type int to an unrelated type String"
I'm stumped, and Google isn't much help as code examples seem identical to what I've done. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you have AS2 experience, the order of the arguments in gotoAndPlay switches when you move to AS3...
gotoAndPlay(1, "main");

Animation Question: Changing all keyframe instances in a single layer all at once?

I am working on an animated piece in Adobe Flash. I have a
single 'head comp' layer that contains head, eyes, mouth, etc.
layers within. I have created several keyframes in this layer to
animate the entire head comp. Furthermore, I have several keyframes
within that comp for lip sync, eye movements, etc.
My problem is, I have to manually change every single
keyframe in the head comp layer to sync up with the animation
contained within. For example, if I have a keyframe on the main
head comp layer-- on frame 5-- I have to manually select frame 5,
go to Properties panel, change to "Play Once," and then type in the
frame number in the "First" field. I then have to repeat this
process several hundred times across the entire layer. There must
be a faster to to sync up the whole layer. Please help!!!

Thanks again for your help.
I think my problem here is, I'm not trying to move any frames
or anything. I just want to change the properties panel of each
keyframe in the layer to "Play Once" and have the number in the
"First" field match it's frame number (example: I want to change
the "First" field to "10" if the keyframe starts on frame 10. That
way it will match up with my lip sync animation on frame 10 of the
nested layer within.) Does that make sense? I have been having to
change each keyframe number in the layer manually. It takes
forever.
The "Play Once/Loop/Single Frame" option isnt available if I
dont create a motion tween. Again, I'm not trying to move my
animation-- just change all of the Properties at once.
Also- if this helps- I am working in CS3.

Impact, things to check before changing transport Routes (TMS)

Hi all,
I am about to change the transport routes of our landscape, we have R/3 systems, R/3 portals, BW....
Soi would like to know exactly what will be the impact on the ongoing operation, what will happened with the already released transport, etc..
Could you please tell me what thing to check, typical things to do before changing the TMS to ensure that it won't cause any issue ?
Thanks in advance

Problem in changing scene color

I want to change the theme of the application window. I have used RadialGradient in scene creation. Now i want to change the theme by changing scene color.

Hi,
If you want to change the color of your radial gradient dynamically, you can depend on the -fx-base color.,
Suppose, you have the style class to apply for gradient as
.sceneGradient{
     -fx-base: red;
     -fx-background-color:radial-gradient(center 10% 10%, radius 100%, derive(-fx-base,90%) 10%, derive(-fx-base,-10%) 90%);
}In the above class, the base color is red. I can change the theme by changing the base color dynamically.
So please check the below SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Correct Example) code

Hi,
how do I spend the last 17 cents from my balance before changing country ?
thanx

If you can, enter in a credit card temporarily so you can buy something that costs more than the balance remaining on your account and thereby use up all the remaining credit. If you cannot or do not wish to put in a credit card, go here:
