Display dead until splash screen
Kind of an odd problem. For a while the display would not work at all.
Zapped PRAM, Reset, NVRAM, removed ram upgrade and Airport card, no change.
I finally try and boot from the recovery CD's and amazingly, it works again.
Now, it works once it gets inside the GUI. But, from the startup chime to the "Starting Mac OSX" screen, it's dead. I dont get any video at all until I get that blue splash screen. No single user, no verbose boot, no grey boot screen with the apple.
I can boot into OF and Single User modes, and they work, I just get no video at all.
If anyone has an idea of what I can do about it, I'd appreciate a pointer, I'm pretty stuck right now.

Display Image on Splash Screen
have just found the world of Java, having used VB for a while.
How do I get a mobile application to display an image on the splash screen, I have created the screen and added an image but cannot get the system to pick the file to display?class SplashCanvas extends Canvas
Image splash;
SplashCanvas()
try{
splash = Image.createImage ("/splashImage.png");
} catch (IOException ioe)
public void paint(Graphics g)
g.setColor(255,255,255);
g.fillRect(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());

Displaying error after splash screen
I am writing the client side of a client/server app that relies heavily on the connection between client and server.
I have made a splash screen and while it attempts to connect it displays the splash screen.
what i need though is that when it fails to connect it should display an alert box in the center of the screen say it has failed to connect.
I don't understand how to do this i tried using
JOptionPane.showInternalMessageDialog(null, message);
and
final JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane(message, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
then telling it to go to sleep but nothing.
how should i do this?

Are there official icons for displaying on About/Splash Screens or in Brochures?
I am writing an Air Native Extension that utilises the Adobe PDF Library, and we are including an official Powered By Adobe PDF Library image into a screen to advertise this fact.
There is a space beside this image, that we would like to fill with a similar powered by Adobe AIR, Flex or Flash Builder or similar, but we are unable to find any icons or guidelines on how to add them.
My question is whether this is allowed, and if so, where would we find the images and/or guidelines to be able to do this?Patrick Jean wrote:
this is a big one: when i copy layer effects and shape attributes, it seems like there is no simple short-cut command for it. so i end up doing 2 copy & paste operations each time. is there a way ideally to select a shape and then copy & paste both values at the same time?
Not sure I fully understand what you're doing now, but here's what I do:
1. I right-click on the layer I want to copy effects from and choose Copy Layer Style.
2. Then I left click and Control-left click on all the layers I want to paste the style to, then right-click on any of them and choose Paste Layer Style.
Is that what you were talking about re doing 2 operations?
Note that if you have styles you use over again a lot, you can create a preset. You access those by double clicking a layer, then clicking on the Styles heading at the upper-left.

Useful Code of the Day: Splash Screen & Busy Application
So you are making an Swing application. So what are two common things to do in it?
1) Display a splash screen.
2) Block user input when busy.
Enter AppFrame! It's a JFrame subclass which has a glass pane overlay option to block input (setBusy()). While "busy", it displays the system wait cursor.
It also supports display of a splash screen. There's a default splash screen if you don't provide a component to be the splash screen, and an initializer runner which takes a Runnable object. The Runnable object can then modify the splash screen component, for example to update a progress bar or text. See the main method for example usage.
It also has a method to center a component on another component (useful for dialogs) or center the component on the screen.
NOTE on setBusy: I do recall issues with the setBusy option to block input. I recall it having a problem on some Unix systems, but I can't remember the details offhand (sorry).

PE3 installs on Vista 64; nothing runs beyond splash screen
I'm trying to install Premiere Elements 3.0 on my new Vista 64-bit machine. Nothing happens once the splash screen disappears. Here are the details:
- The PC has 4G RAM, full system updates applied, etc.
- I installed, in order:
- Quicktime
- PE3
- PE 3.0.2 update
I checked Event Viewer. Everythng had installed correctly, except Adobe Help Center (error 1063), so I ran the Help Center installer by itself (from F:\Premiere Elements\help center); this time, it installed correctly.
Unfortunately, running PE3 gets me nowhere. I get the splash screen (which indicates "v3.0.2" and "Windows XP; multi processor detected", a good sign). The last item displayed on the splash screen is "Loading Wave_Warp.AEX", then the splash screen disappears and... nothing.
Event Viewer shows no error message whatsoever. I also tried deactivating XP compatibility in the PE application's Properties -> Compatibility tab; same result.
What else can I do to make PE3 run on this machine? Many thanks for your help.There is very likely to not be a patch, especially for a program that is several years, and versions old. No one at Adobe could anticipate, much less program for, a new OS, that is quite different in all respects from that which was available upon release of PE3.
Yes, it can be frustrating when either software, or hardware, are rendered obsolete, however it happens constantly, and will, so long as each gets changed to take advantages of improvements in technology.
In real world terms, PE7 is the current Vista "patch" for PE3. I'm using CS2 PrPro (Production Suite) on my XP-Pro workstation. I want to go to CS4, but to get the full benefit from it, I need to upgrade my workstation and go to Vista-64, or Win7, when released. Talk about an investment in both time and $'s.
For some older 3D paint programs, I had to build a special computer and use WinME, just to run them. Most of the gear was then state-fo-the-art, but I could only use 512MB of RAM, and had to install a much older (and pretty lousy) OS. I needed and used those programs enough to justify that expense. Heck, just getting a 512MB stick, at that late a date, was tough, but necessary.
Good luck,

Problem with displaying a splash screen twice
I have a splash screen that displays while I am reading data from the recordstore, I use the same sceen when I am writing data back to the record store when the application exits.
The problem I am having is that the screen never appears the second time, I have tried to set it to null and then instantiate it again but it still does not appear. Can someone please give me some adivse as to why this might be happening. I am pretty sure it is some kind of race condition with the threads but I just cant seem to solve it. I am placing snipits of code below.
public class NetTools extends MIDlet implements CommandListener
public void startApp()
isPaused = false;
display = Display.getDisplay(this);
splash = new Splash();
splash.start();
settings = new Settings(this);
settings.start();
display.setCurrent(splash);
splash.StartTimer();
splash.setMsg("Loading Settings...");
settings.Load();
splash.setMsg("Loading Main App...");
splash.Dismiss();
showMainScreen();
splash = null;
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional)
display = Display.getDisplay(this);
splash = new Splash();
splash.start();
display.setCurrent(splash);
splash.setMsg("Saving Settings...");
//splash.Join();
//splash.StartTimer();
settings.Save();
//splash.Dismiss();
settings = null;
splash = null;
public class Settings implements Runnable
public void Load()
try
thread.yield();
public void Save()
try
thread.yield();
public class Splash extends Canvas implements Runnable
public void StartTimer()
start_time = System.currentTimeMillis();
repaint();
serviceRepaints();
public void Dismiss()
while ((start_time+WAIT_TIME)>System.currentTimeMillis())
repaint();
I cannot seem to figure out how to make the thread for the splash overtake the UI thread in the destroyApp(), does anybody have any ideas.
SunnyA grey box with the splash screen size is displayed.would indicate you have your "application which takes sometime to load" in the
EDT, which will prevent painting until loading finishes
use a separate thread to load the data

Hi:
I have an application which takes sometime to load and decided to display a splash screen. The splash screen is a simple JFrame with a JPanel within. The splash screen is displaying but it�s not being painted at all. A grey box with the splash screen size is displayed.
Following is the code from where I�m calling both the splash screen and the application.
private static void startApplication() {
SplashScreen splashScreen = new SplashScreen();
System.out.println("Loading...");
splashScreen.setUndecorated(true);
splashScreen.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
splashScreen.pack();
splashScreen.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
splashScreen.setVisible(true);
try {
Application application = new Application();
splashScreen.setCompleted(0.2);
System.out.println("Loading Database...");
application.initDatabase();
System.out.println("Loading of Database Complete...");
splashScreen.setCompleted(0.5);
application.initActions();
splashScreen.setCompleted(0.6);
application.initToolBar();
splashScreen.setCompleted(0.7);
application.initMenuBar();
splashScreen.setCompleted(0.8);
application.initComponents();
splashScreen.setCompleted(0.9);
application.setDefaultCloseOperation(Application.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
application.setTitle("Password Keeper");
application.setUndecorated(false);
application.pack();
application.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
splashScreen.setCompleted(1);
application.setVisible(true);
}catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.println("Failed to load the required classes.");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(splashScreen, "Failed to load the required classes.", "Loading Application", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}catch(SQLException e){
System.err.println("Failed to load the required classes.");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(splashScreen, "An error occured while connecting with the database.", "Loading Application", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
System.out.println("Application Started...");
splashScreen.setVisible(false);
splashScreen.dispose();
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
startApplication();
}The problem started to show up when the application was included. This works fine when the splash screen is displayed by itself.

Is it possible to define when a splash screen displays?
I'm creating an elearning phone app. I'd like a splash screen to display until the user clicks Dismiss - and then never show it again when they open the app again.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks,Yes, you can do that using Exit Hook method wdDoExit
We have used following hook to unlock the locked record of database table, which was open in edit mode.
//@@begin javadoc:wdDoExit()
/** Hook method called to clean up controller. */
//@@end
public void wdDoExit()

Display splash screen while downloading applet jar file
I've tried to search the forums, but most results I get are how to display a splash screen while the classes are loading. Unfortunately, the classes do not begin loading until after the jar file has been downloaded. How does one go about showing as splash screen as the jar file containing the classes is downloaded?
Thanks for the help!"Java 5 provides a capability in this area"- Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of our control we are stuck on java 1.4.x.
"How you do that is your problem."- I'm so glad I can count on the helpful java community. Thanks.
Since it appears that "warnerja" is discusted by my question (mabye had a bad day) and is leaving me out in the cold, does anyone have any ideas on how I can implement her/his suggestion. I can break my jar file into multiple seperate jars and as each one loads I can update a progress bar. Unfortunately, I do not know where to begin with this code wise nor do I know if this is the best solution to this problem. I would think this to be a common problem.
Thanks for your help! -
Flex 4.6 Splash screen: How can i download remote data while it's still displayed?

Thread.sleep(20000);

catch(Exception IE)
private void centerScreen()
Dimension d = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
int x = (int) ((d.getWidth() - getWidth()) / 2);
int y = (int) ((d.getHeight() - getHeight()) / 2);
setLocation(x, (y-100));
}it obviously runs the default constructor which then runs the other methods in the class but it doesn't seem to show can anybody help me to find out whats wrong? It seems to be there just before the main application launches but only for a split second. And when i am waiting while the thread is sleeping the area i have defined the Content pane for he cursor goes to the loading icon! I don't know if this makes any sence to you but if you can help me it would be most apreciated.
Thanks.SpearOne wrote:
Hi Encephalopathic
why would it work if i put it in it's own application surely it wouldn't be caused by this thread.sleep?? everything after it is in fact put to sleep. In its "own" application, nothing happens after it is displayed.
if it is the problem then could you please give me some code to add quickly to test??

Web start won't display splash screen
Hi, I am using the following .jnlp file.. The problem I am having is that web start will not display the splash screen specified below. It displays the icon fine, but not the splash screen. I cannot find an answer, can anyone help?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+"

</jnlp>I can see no reason why this wouldn't work. Can you try looking at the splash.xml file in the "splash" directory in the cache ?
the file should contain an entry for your program, pointing to your splash file.

How to display different Splash Screen depending on the Locale?
Hi,
I have a splash screen which is working fine.
I want to display different spalsh screen depending on the locale the user has.
Is this possible.
I can display different Title,Description and the text of the short-cut icon on desktop and startup Menu based on the locale by mentioning it in the JNLP and altering my browser settings. I am not able to use the icon and splash screen corresponding to the specified locale. How to do this?
EX:
<information>
<title> In english</title>
<description> In english</description>
<shortcut online="true">
<!-- create desktop shortcut -->
<desktop/>
<menu submenu="My Project in English language"/>
</shortcut>
*<icon kind="shortcut" href="images/icon_english.gif"/>
<icon kind="splash" href="images/splash_english.jpg"/>*
<!-- locale="nl-NL" specifies dutch -->
</information>
<information locale="nl-NL">
<title> In Dutch</title>
<description>In Dutch</description>
<shortcut online="true">
<!-- create desktop shortcut -->
<desktop/>
<menu submenu="My Project in Dutch language"/>
</shortcut>
*<icon kind="shortcut" href="images/icon_dutch.gif"/>
<icon kind="splash" href="images/splash_dutch.jpg"/>*
</information>
*Now here i am not getting the splash_dutch screen for the locale "nl-NL"(Dutch) and i am getting splash_english screen.
Can we acheive this?*Hi anjali...
