Continuous loop with graphic symbols

Hi,
I have created a slide show that fades in and out using graphic symbols. I would like this to continously loop in Dreamweaver. How do I set it up in either Flash or Dreamweaver to continuously loop?
Thanks

I doubt that the number of frames involved is an issue. A Google search tells me the max for a Flash file is 16,000 frames.
Does the file play thru entirely, to the very last frame? To be sure it does, place some unique visual in the last frame (like "The End").
If it does play thru to the very end, then you can add the following code to the last frame and see if it forces the looping:
gotoAndPlay(1);
To add it, select the frame in the timeline, and enter the code in the Actions panel... That small 'a' I mentioned should appear in the frame if done correctly.
I don't have CS4 primarily because of all the problems that have been reported with it since it was released. I cannot say whether you are encountering a known issue with it. The bottom line is, if a timeline-based movie has no code to make it do otherwise, it should continuously loop on its own.

Graphic Symbol First Frame Issues with Tweening

I'm working on some fairly detailed character animations, and accordingly have made most of the characters parts into graphic symbols. For instance, his hand is a graphic symbol which has multiple frames for each perspective or pose of the fingers, and I set the symbol to the proper frame in the characters main timeline.
I've been having issues, however, when tweening these symbols. I noticed this first when I was working on a jump animation and I just wanted the hand, once its pose is in a state which will be used for the majority of its frames, to tween up and rotate with the arm and body. When I create this tween, however, it forces all other frames of that graphic symbol to be set to that same frame. The start and end frames of the tween are set to the same first frame, and even after trying to manually fix the subsequent frames of the symbol, it wont let me. I've triple checked all my symbol names, frame numbers and settings, and anything else I can think of and everything is in place, so I really have no clue why this is happening.
Does anyone know how to fix this?? Thanks for any help!

Are you using new motion tweens with CS4? If so, then that's "expected" in that new motion does not (yet) support changing symbol frames - only one object and one frame per tween span. You will need to use classic tweens or split the motion span.

How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene?

How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene? There are buttons for the other scenes in these frames. The below works well until I am at the last frame in scene one, then it goes to the next scene and plays. How can I make scene one a continually loop.
stop();
var timer:Timer = new Timer(20000,0);//<--
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timer.start();
function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
    this.nextFrame();
    //or if you want to jump e.g 5 frames
    this.gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+5);
Thank you for any help.

For this code to work, you need to empty the first frame and place all the photos a frame ahead. Then, place this code on the first frame. DONE!
If you need more help, I'll try to answer it the fastest I can.
Oh, and I could actualy make your photos fade out and fade in as they rotate from frame to frame, it would be awesome. Just tell me if you want me to do it. Good luck
import flash.display.Scene;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
stop();
var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000,0);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timer.start();
function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
if (this.currentScene.name == "Scene 1") {
if (this.currentFrame != this.currentScene.numFrames) {
   this.nextFrame();
} else {
   this.gotoAndStop(2);
nextFrame();

How do I run one vi that has a continuous loop in parallel with other vi�s

I am currently attempting to run one vi that has a continuous
loop in parallel with other vi’s. When I
run the program it hangs up in the continuous loop vi and does not execute any
other steps in the program. The loop vi
is for temperature checking, control and recording once it reaches a certain temperature
gradient. The other vi’s are for other functions
like pressure readings and flow rates, for example.
Where am I going wrong and what can I do to fix this
problem. Thank you for your time and
help.

Here is a zip file with the vi in question. The
spraycooling6 and the TempStep5 both run fine alone but when I add the TempStep
to the Spraycooling6 it only runs the TempStep and hangs up the program.
I'm new to LabView and know that the code is probably not optimized for some
functions. In addition, this is still a work in progress for me so this is
not the final vi. Again, thank you for you time and input I
appreciate it.

Loop at field-symbol (any table) into string ?

Hi Everyone,
I need little help, I have a requirement to extract table content with columns names as the header.
After doing some search I figured out the best way to this since table name will be only avaialbe at runtime through
a selection field . my problem is to loop through field-symbol and convert a structure to string value so that I can
write to the file.

CREATE DATA o_data TYPE TABLE OF (table_name).
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <table> TYPE ANY TABLE.
ASSIGN o_data->* TO <table>.
SELECT * UP TO 100 ROWS FROM (table_name) INTO TABLE <table>.
OPEN DATASET v_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

Error: Could not continue scan with nolock due to data movement, DBCC proccache will clear the probelm

SQL Server: 2008 R2 SP2
Before describing my problem, I have gone via the forum, there is no view or functions inside my stored procedure
When running a particular stored procedure inside crystal report, the error " Could not continue scan with nolock due to data movement" comes once every few weeks. After I clear the query cache plan, it works again for few weeks and the problem
comes again. During these few weeks, there is no restart or query plan clearing.
If I run the stored procedure inside SSMS, where the SQL statement is copied and pasted from SQL profiler during crystal report run, there is no error.
I discovered running in SSMS and crystal report generate 2 different query plans even I copied the SQL from SQL profiler, I have actually saved the query plans. Unfortunately, this forum does not accept attachments, or otherwise I will post my query plans
here.
There is one thing I notice about the query plan is during nested loop operation, there is a warning "no join predicate". I don't use any views or UDF in the statement, nor did I use pre-1992 ANSI join syntax. However, I did use table variables.
My guess is whether this will cause " Could not continue scan with nolock due to data movement", after I clear the cache, I run crystal report again, and I look at the plan again, the "nested loop no join predicate" warning is gone.
Running this stored procedure took 1 second maximum, even when this error is popping up, it pop up within 1 second.
DBCC checkdb has been run
The same stored procedure running by crystal report in a SQL 2008 (non r2) live environment has no problems, so I am thinking this is R2 specific problems.
The "nested loop no join predicate" error SQL statment is below, no views, no udf, but table variables
INSERT @ChequeAccount
SELECT       PS.PaySummaryID, PS.EmployeeID, PS.CostCentreID,
           (PS.GrossPay   + PS.LumpSumA + PS.LumpSumB   + PS.LumpSumD+ PS.LumpSumE+ PS.ETP+ PS.PaymentsAfterTax   - PS.DeductionsAfterTax
- PS.Tax- PS.ETPTax   + PS.TaxRebate) * -1 AS Amount,
           CGLM.GLAccountID
FROM Pay_Summary PS JOIN Input_Sheet ISH ON PS.InputSheetID = ISH.InputSheetID AND ISH.PayrollID = @binPayrollID
AND PS.PaySummaryID NOT IN (SELECT PaySummaryID FROM @ChequeAccount)
JOIN Payroll P ON P.PayrollID = ISH.PayrollID AND P.EmployerID = @binEmployerID
JOIN CustomGLFixMapping CGLM ON CGLM.EmployerID = P.EmployerID AND CustomGLFixMappingNameID = 1 AND CGLM.CostCentreID IS NULL

The error Could not continue scan with nolock due to data movement can occur when you use the NOLOCK table hint, or use the command SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED. That is, so-called dirty reads. The error is not related to the
query plan per se, but when scanning a table, the storage engine will use an IAM scan rather than following the clustered index. If there is simultaneous activity, the storage engine may detect this and abort the operation to avoid returning incorrect data.
Or it may not detect it, and return uncommitted data or fail to return committed data.
All of these effects are transitory and they will not show up when you are alone on the system, only when there is concurrent activity in one or more of the tables in the query.
Using dirty reads is a risky business for the reasons explained above, and it takes careful analysis to understand whether you can live with the errors you can get from a particular query. The error about data movement can be handled: trap the error and
resubmit the query. But what about spurious incorrect results?
If you believe locking to be a problem, you should consider setting the database to READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT
and take out all use of READ UNCOMMITTED/NOLOCK. When the database is in READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT, readers read from the snapshot and only see committed data without blocking writers. This has some other effects like requiring a bigger tempdb,
and there is a risk for other types of concurrency errors, but they tend to be smaller risks.
I discovered running in SSMS and crystal report generate 2 different query plans even I copied the SQL from SQL profiler,
This is because SSMS by default runs with SET ARITHABORT ON. I discuss this in more detail in this article on my web site:
http://www.sommarskog.se/query-plan-mysteries.html
However, as I said, this problem is not related to the query plan as such, although some query plans are more susceptible to this error than others. (All plans are suscpeitble to produce incorrect results).

I cannot get an animated graphic symbol to be animated in my browser...

Hello and thanks for looking...
I have followed this animation using bones and armatures tutorial:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/character_animation_ik.htmlhttp://
(which is superb and thanks to the poster)
My problem is that i cannot get them to be animated inside a browser.
I have created the armature and the poses etc. and I have then selected all the leg parts and converted them to a graphic symbol as per the instructions (i have nested the leg symbols inside the 'leg armature' symbol (point 12 near figure 27). I have connected all the bones fine not a problem...
But if i then look at them in a browser they are not animated, but if i press play inside the little library window it is animated!
So each indivdual armature symbol works a treat in the library window (individually). However when i save them as whole (i.e. a walk cycle symbol as per point 1 near figure 39) nothing is animated. I have motion tweened them to move across the stage (so they have the frames to be animated) but there are no animated parts when previewed - the character just glides with no moving parts.
I have re-read it several times and cannot find what i am doing wrong! It is probably something really simple and i am being dim - it would be nice if you could tell me how Sorry if this is confusing. My head is hurting again.
Thanks v much.
(just to note i did select AS3 and i have CS6)

Dude your a superstar!
I read this and thought i had done that, but it turns out i needed to extend the frames before i converted to the last 'complete' symbol!
(i was half way through re doing it - and gettting annoyed!)
Thanks ever so

How do I replace a graphic symbol that contains text ... ?

How do I replace a graphic symbol ? It is actually made up of 3 layers including a textbox and bullet. When I double click on the symbol, I get the Text Properties menu.
When I single click on the symbol on the stage, the properties menu shows a Swap button. When I choose the correct symbol and click OK, it looks like it worked but it still shows the original symbol name (Instance of it) on this Properties menu.
Another issue is that when I change one of the symbols (by double clicking on the symbol and then double clicking on the text layer), it does change the text on that layer. However, then it changes the text on the other symbol as well even though they are different symbols.
Note that I can edit the original symbol and the new one. Both symbols are different. In other words, they each show the different text (which is what I want). It's like the original symbol is attached/embedded and cannot be changed.
Background on this issue: Rather than create a brand-new layer, I copied all the frames in a layer to a new layer because it has a motion tween on it. I only need to change the symbol that is in the motion tween. This is the only action/event happening on both layers.
This should be so easy... I have read many Q&As on this Forum and the Adobe Flash Help trying to figure this out. Thank you for your help.

It sounds like you have two symbols sharing another symbol. Since you mentioned "original" it would seem to be a case of duplication. Try creating each symbol separately without using one as a starting point for the other... or delete the part that changes for both in each instance and replace it separately in each instance with a new one.

Indesign CS5 crash during startup - problem with Graphics.rpln

I work in an architectural company and already several of our computers have experienced this very rare and unusual behaviour. During start up of Indesign (not clicking on any file but just launching Indesign) it crashes with the following error:
"Adobe Indesign CS5 has stopped working"
We use Windows 7 64bit, so the first step I did - I went into Application Log which says, so appears to be a problem with Graphics.rpln.

I have tried everything I could think of - removed and reinstalled Adobe CS5, manually removed Adobe folders under %Appdata%\Local and %Appdata%\Remote folders (why can't Adobe delete those things during uninstallation is always a total mystery), changed video adapter drivers, cleaned Temp folders, everything I knew...
None of the other apps like Photoshop or Illustrator CS5 malfunction - only Indesign. What is going on?
Can it conflict with other software we use? We have Bentley Microstation, 3D Max, Office 2010, Kaspersky Antivirus and LOGMEIN installed on this computer...Any clues, guys?

Looks to me like you've never installed any of the patches. Last patch for CS5 was 7.0.4, so I'd start with that and see if ti helps.

Newbie-made animation in graphic symbol timeline by mistake! Can't get it out

Tha't s only one problem...
I am making a very simple stick figure animation which will be intended for tv, specifically HDTV 1080p
I have no idea how i did it but I did the animation and before I knew it it was not on scene 1, but on the graphic symbol timeline. I think it is because I made my character a symbol, and i guess everything followed. But when I put them on the stage from the library, only part of the animation shows up, the part with the character i made into a symbol...not only that, but if I copy and paste all the frames from the symbol timeline onto the main timeline, it is HUGE! it doesn't match the size or placement it was on in the other timeline...
Also, are there any specific requirements for editing with intent for hdtv? I read you can't use movie clips but as for size, etc? What do you have to set at the beginning and what will change when it is exported or converted for tv? I could use Final cut if it helps with the final stuff too.
HELP!

any advice at all? Its urgent

Frame-by-frame in graphic symbol vs video?

Hi there,
I have several Flash 8 files with a fair amount of lip
syncing over approx 300-500 frames.
They are all done as graphic symbols on the main timeline.
Will it reduce the file size if I import the entire file as a
Quicktime video or would putting all the lip syncing into one
graphic symbol on the main timeline make the file size smaller?
I've also heard that exporting as a quicktime video keeps the
lip syncing more accurate vs Flash animation as your lip syncing
will vary depending on ea computer it is viewed on. Any more
blogs/info on this topic?

You can set a keyboard short cut for the palette menu items for moving between frames in Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts.

Nobody get back to me on my other question, so I'm going to try again. I am making a PowerPoint for a meeting and I want to take a 3D PDF and have it spin or rotate on a continuous loop. How can I accomplish this?

Nobody get back to me on my other question, so I'm going to try again. I am making a PowerPoint for a meeting and I want to take a 3D PDF and have it spin or rotate on a continuous loop. How can I accomplish this?

Please ignore PowerPoint comment, I can make the 3D PDF no problem with my converter plug-in for AutoCAD. Once it is made though you can spin it by hand/mouse in Adobe. but I want a video like scene with the object spinning by itself for modeling purposes?

How can I convert many .png's to graphic symbols at once in Flash CS6?

So, just as the subject says, how do I convert a ton (like over 2,000) .pngs quickly and easily to graphic symbols?
I really dont want to have to drag each one to the stage, hit f8, and name it, for each one.
I understand that, back in the CS3 days (im using CS6), it would autonatically generate them when you imported them to the library, is there a setting that I can turn on to have this happen?
Thank you for your time,
Obsidn

Select the directory with your pngs in it.
Right-click>Browse with Adobe Bridge
Select your pngs
Tools>Photoshop>Load to photoshop layers (not sure how many layers this can handle--you may wind up having to do this in batches)
Save your new psd
In Flash, create a new symbol with a blank timeline
Ctrl-R, navigate to the psd you made earlier
Select all the Photoshop layers
Check "create MovieClips for these layers."
Convert layers to keyframes or flash layers (not important, since you probaby don't need to keep this symbol)
OK
You'll have Movie Clips, not Graphic Symbols, but maybe you can write or find a JSFL to convert them and then you can block select them, click the Properties button, and change the type from MovieClip to Graphc.
