Displaying colored thumbnail as playhead reaches certain labels

Hi All,
I am doing a simple slideshow where I have 2 sets of thumbnails, one in b/w and another in color. I have hidden the colored thumbnails using the display:none and will only appear when I move the mouse over on the black and white thumbnails.
I have written the mouseover and mouseout and everything seemed fine in what I am going to display. I have also created several labels so that when the user clicks on the thumbnails, it will jump to a specific label. However, as the slideshow animates to show the different large images, I want the associated thumbnail to become colored, what I had done is to retrieve the label position using these codes :
var getPos = sym.getPosition();
if (getPos>0 & getPos<2000){
sym.$("chrysanthemium_sm").show();
I have inserted into the CompositionReady event but when I play the composition within the browser, the colored thumbnail does not show. What happens? Did I insert in the correct event? I have inserted a screen grab so that you can just view it. I have also zipped up so you can download and help me to dissect it.
Thanks!

How to add actions only when the stage playhead passes a label/certain time?

I have an animation that is 2 seconds long. On the 1 sec mark there is sym.stop(); and a label called 'in'. At the 2 sec mark there is another sym.stop();
So what I want to happen is for the animation to play up until 'in', then on mouseenter for the stage have sym.play();, and on mouseleave sym.playReverse();. This will make it so that only the second half of the animation will get played on mouseenter/leave.
My problem is that the mouseenter/leave also gets applied to the first half of the animation, not allowing the second half to animate if the user mouses over during the first half. I know this requires an if statement but I don't know how to write it. So it would be something like this: if the playhead reaches 'in', apply mouseenter/leave actions.

yes, I am. By the way I've found the solution. Someone might find this usefull.
In design.xml having
<component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput"/>
use this
<component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput">
<defaultAttribute name="text" value="ExtendedTextInput"/>
</component>
so when adding this component to design view, it will have text setted to value ('ExtendedTextInput' in this case).

Bridge displays color images as b&w

I assume this has something to do with settings in Bridge CS4, my platform is MacBook Pro OS 6.8.10.
This question might confuse some people. To beging with, I do shoot my images in RAW files, I even have Bridge convert them to DNG files.
Upon download the images are displayed in color as they should be for RAW files. After editing images in Camera RAW, I convert most all images to sRGB. When some of those edited images come back to Bridge, they might be presented in B&W, though no color is lost to the file upon displaying in Photoshop, and I did not edit the file to be a B&W image. I have DNG, Canon RAW, Tif and Jpeg files, and most of these are displayed in color, but some are not, and I have not figured out the missing link just yet. So to be clear, I have Jpeg color images, displaying as b&w images, but they are color images. Only b&w images should be displayed as b&w.
This problems started once I learned I could edit one image in photoshop out of a series of images, then after editing, i could bring the single photo file back to bridge, and then copy/paste image settings onto a groups of images in Bridge, and all those images would then have the same adjustments made to them as a batch edit adjustment.
But now sometimes I get a B&W display on some images even when I do not apply a Bridge settings edits, and when I never edited the image for a B&W display. I has to a setting somewhere in Bridge, and I just have not figured it out yet.
Thanks in advance for all suggestions:

Yammer asked a pertinent question that remains unanswered—is that “settings” badge (small lines-triangles-in-a-circle) shown on the B/W image thumbnails (at least). If you’re not sure, then include a screenshot of a few Bridge thumbnails where some are color and some are B/W, using the little camera icon on the web version of the forum messages.
And the answer is NO!. I only have those showing up associated with the .DNG files (Camera RAW)
Another similar question would be if you see a B/W thumbnail in Bridge, try doing a right-click (or whatever the Mac equivalent is) and choose Open in Camera Raw. Is the image in B/W or color in Camera Raw.
A <Control Click> (on MAC), opens the .jpeg file in b&w, as shown in the thumbnail.
Can you upload three versions of one of the images that display as B/W: the original PSD/raw/TIF file, a normal Save As JPG that is in color, and a Save For Web JPG that is B/W? Use something like http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to the images, here.
NO, I thought I explained that real well. Only the .jpeg file that was saved through the "Save for Web" processing ( that is, the a jpeg the goes through greater compression to reduce image file size for web display), is the image file process that produces the b&w thumbnail in Bridge ONLY. All opened images, of various file formats (ie: DNG, Psd, Tif, Jpeg, & Jpeg for Web), all present Color presentations (for editing in Photoshop, and or in display browsers). It is only the thumbnail of that particular jpeg formatting processing for Web Images that produces the b&w image "THUMBNAIL" in Bridge.
When you Save As JPG or For Web, are you ever overwriting the original image with a new one or do you always save the PS-edited image with a new name?
No, never. I leave my RAW files, as RAW originals, and work on newly names images files.
A theory about what is happening is that Bridge uses Camera Raw to generate its thumbnails, and the images that are B/W have some embedded Camera Raw setting, perhaps pasted from a different filetype, that makes CR think the image should be rendered as B/W, but when you open the images on Photoshop, you are opening them directly, without using the Camera Raw plug-in, so any embedded settings are ignored, and the image displays in its original state without the settings having been applied.
It makes since, (what you are saying), and it certainly does respond in that fashion. Your suggestion to open Ctrl Click, or Right Click to open the thumbnail in Camera RAW, was an interesting test, and the response was to open the previously save color image with a b&w thumbnail, into Camera RAW as a b&w image. So Camera RAW is responding to what is in the xmp settings that describes this images thumbnail to be displayed b&w. It is weird that a browser does not.
As to what is in the window selections for the "Save for Web" editing windows, Presets for jpeg are :
Progressive
Optimize
Embed Color Profile
And I use Embed Color Profile.
Even the Preview button at the bottom of the window, shows the color image as displaying color.
I vaguely remember about a year ago doing some CS 4 Photoshop and Bridge web tutorials from an unnamed tutoring website and guy named D_k_ . It is his fault. Just kidding, I actually enjoy those tutorial.
**** Okay, this is perhaps originating from Camera RAW presets, where you can apply previously made settings to other images and then saved them as Presets. Though I don't have this checked in Camera RAW ( still something goofy is going on there), I did find that in Bridge I can reset the individual "saved for Web" image thumbnail back to the the color image by :
Right Click (Ctrl Click, MAC) on the thumbnail
menu down to the "Development Settings" and select :
"Previous Conversion", and this presents the color thumbnail.
I have now tested all the Camera RAW settings in Camera RAW, by opening an image in each one of these :
Image Settings
Camera RAW Defaults
Previous Conversion
Custom Settings
and then reducing image file size, and saving for the web, while changing file name, and each and every one of these Settings produces a Sepia Toned thumbnail. I found out the images were a subtle Sepia Toned image by enlarging the Bridge Thumbnails bigger for a better view. So I can correct the thumbnail after it has been created, but so far, I can't get the thumbnail to be correct on first creation of the web saved jpeg image file. Regular jpeg image file thumbnails save correctly.

Display color problem - asking for a color solution

So I have this serious problem with my Macbook Pro.
Some months ago I suddenly saw green colors in black area's and pink line colors in white areas.
Text on white background was extremely frustrating to read, since it was surrounded with small pink lines and flickering.
Note this was only near max white and max black areas of the screen.
I found out that it was due to a hardware failure, since slightly bending the laptop (!!) would remove the problem
Attaching an external monitor doesn't show the defect, and booting in Windows 7 (bootcamp) still shows the same screen problem.
Searching the web, it appears that it was a NVidia related heat problem, known to my model, but the offer to get it fixed for free by apple (since it was a known issue) had already run out december 2012 (!!). I think my laptop is about 3-4 years old, and the battery pretty much died on me the first year, probably due to heavy usage and the graphic card getting too hot. There are small sweat/corosion marks of where my hand are placed when typing, on the aluminium, due to how hot my laptop got. It sometimes got so hot I couldn't touch the aluminium on the top left corner near the 1-2-Q-W keys.
Fixing my Macbook is too expensive. Just getting someone to look at it to diagnose it (without repairing it), costs a lot in my country, and we have no official apple store, only authorized resellers. I know it's probably the motherboard, because I tried to unscrew the backlid and gently touch certain area's on the motherboard with a pen, while the computer was still running, to find out where the short circuit was. I only started this kind of trying to "self service" it, because I knew how expensive replacing the motherboard would be (if that was even the issue?).
I have multiple times tried to place something up against the sensitive area's on the motherboard, and then screw back the backlid, to put some pressure on it, which at first worked brilliantly and removed the color issue for some weeks, before it started reappearing. I think the heat from the laptop slowly makes the motherboard adapt, and the problem returns. Extremely frustrating indeed.
I hope I can one day afford a Macbook Air, but until then, I don't want to throw more money after my poor macbook (which I pronbably can't sell anyway, like previous mac's I've owned, the day get a new. It's too worn out + battery got only 5min on a full charge).
I think it's wisest to rather save the money for a Macbook Air, and try to survive until then. Therefor I was hoping someone could help me with a temporary solution.
In Windows 7, using the Nvidia Control Panel to apply color management, I was able to adjust the individual color output values, and thereby remove the the screen issue! Maybe the colors are not as good anymore, but it sure beats not getting a headache after 10minutes trying to read an article.
I tried the same thing on the mac, using Preferences>Displays>Color>Calibrate, but this guide is much harder to use to get a decent result (since only the last 2 options really makes a difference, but changes the colors completely, which I can't change by going back to the first color settings since then it just undos the last step I just did. I'm currently writing this with a very blue pale screen.
I also tried to use ColorSync Utility, expecting to enter values manually, but contrary to the articles I read about using ColorSync, I cannot edit the values in the color profile I created (I can only change the ASCII text input fields). Trying to save the profile gives me the error 'The Document "screenbug.icc" could not be saved.'
I tried to look for alternative color calibration software, but most of them required hardware, or expensive full version to unlock the settings I needed (like SuperCal).
I hope some tech savy users out there that can help me, or at least make my life with my macbook less of a pain.
All help is much appreciated!!
PS: I've been a loyal Mac user since always. Few things I've learned is:
1) Don't buy the first version of new hardware. Wait about a month for reviews, to check for issues. I had a problem with an expensive MacPro that had to be replaced, but luckily for free since it was Apple's mistake. Sometimes Apple products also get minor internal changes/fixes without announcements, to help solve reported issues from early buyers.
3) Take care of you Mac, especially so because you can often sell your used Mac's for quite a value the day you want to upgrade. I've sold about 3 Mac's in my lifetime, for quite a gain, though I don't expect this macbook to do as well, if at all. But it's normally something to be cautious about.
3) Don't order custom configurations from the Apple Store, if you can live without it (+ it's usually crazy overprices). I payed extra to get the NVidia GeForce 9600M, and was happy with it for the first couple of years, but is now causing me all the problems I have today + made my Macbook worthless.
Stick with what the default configuration if possible, as other configurations might not have been tested carefully.

Who exactly is your comment "I am asking you to fix this problem soon" directed at?
Remember that you are posting on a user to user forum so nobody can really help you. If you want to give feedback to Apple, then contact them directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback.
Also, if you have an iPhone 3G and iOS 4.2.1 is the latest software that you can install on your phone, then there is absolutely nothing that anyone can do to fix the problem if you want to install Skype that requires iOS 4.3 - what do you think anyone can magically do?
iPhone 3G is a very old phone now and if you want to install Skype on your phone, then you need to go out and buy a new iPhone - either a 4s or a 5. Nothing more to it. Buy a new phone.

10.9.3 update display color change

Hello all,
Is it only me or have more people noticed a change in the display color (or color profile) since the latest 10.9.3 update?
I updated a moment ago while working on some graphic designs. After restart I could clearly see the change as I used a very light (237 235 221) background color and it looks certainly different now. I checked the color profiles and I still use the Adobe RGB (1998) as I did before the update.
Light conditions in the room are the same, my eyes are stil the same, no huge amounts of coffee since the upgrade either.
I can live with this but would like to know if something begins to happen with my computer or wether it is a more common problem, then I can rest asure a fix will arrive soon ;-)
All the best!
Jeroen

WRT54Gv5 cannot reach certain sites some times

Every so often (maybe once every day or so) none of the three computers I have wirelessly connected to my WRT54Gv5 router can reach certain sites. Using tracert from the router's Diagnostic page displays nothing. Pinging these sites from the Diagnostic page either shows "Unknown host" or "DNSRDSocketRecev: FdPoll Timeout".
The sites I have found this normally effects are (please don't judge me by the list :
www.papajohnsonline.com
www.washingtonpost.com
www.worldofwarcraft.com
If I can't hit one of them, normally I can't hit any of them but other sites like CNN or Yahoo work fine. Some times it effects Google but not all the time. When I unplug/replug in the router and once the computer reconnects to the router, everything is back to normal for a day or two.
I was hoping the latest firmware update (1.01.0) would resolve it but it didn't.
I've also noticed that when this problem happens getting to the router's admin page is really slow and is some times completely unresponsive.
I called Linksys support about this many times a while ago and they weren't all that helpful. They had me changing the MTU to a different size each time I called. None of settings fixed it. They also had me switch from DHCP to a static IP which didn't fix it either.
Anyone else have any other ideas?
Thanks!
Pat

great_white, thanks much for your reply.
I've got the MTU at 1492 but the problem still occurs (expected but I appreciate the tip to keep it at 1492).
I ran "netsh winsock reset catalog" and it runs but says I have to restart the machine to complete the reset. I'd rather not have to do that on all machines.
"ipconfig/flushdns" runs successfully but doesn't resolve the problem.
Sigh. Thanks, anyway!
Guess when this router dies completely (or another need to upgrade comes up) I'll buy a D-Link or something.

Bridge CS3 not displaying .PNG thumbnails

This behavior started about 2 months ago and I cannot figure what changed or what to do to get rid of the generic .PNG icons and get back to the image thumbnails. It's not isolated to Photoshop generated .PNG's. Any app I have that can save in the .PNG format will appear as a generic icon in Bridge CS3.
.PNG's that were uploaded to our server prior to around mid-Feruary all have the proper thumbnails. Currently, replacing them or uploading the same file from before February produces the generic icon. Same thing in both in the main view and the Preview window.
The only thing that has changed on my machine between now and February was an OS bump from 10.6.1 to 10.6.3.
Every other format displays correct thumbnails. I've tried just about every suggestion dealing with missing thumbnails from the various "no thumbnail" posts in this forum...and still no luck. Does anyone have a suggestion or two...or three, that might help me clear this .PNG problem up? It's driving me bats trying to identify images.

I've tried just about every suggestion dealing with missing thumbnails from
the various "no thumbnail" posts in this forum...and still no luck.
Could you specify on that, meaning also purge cache for selection. Using
tool menu-cache, use the filter menu to select only PNG files for faster
approach.
And you may not like this but using a more then 3 year old app on a new
(intel based and 64 bit OS system) might also not be the best route. CS5 is
just out now and rebuild for 64 bit systems like Snow Leopard is.
Also keep in mind CS6 will be your last option to upgrade according to the
Adobe upgrade policy, after this you will need a new full license.

Camera Raw icons don't display as thumbnails

New Canon T3i; I download files from camera to folder; the display as generic icon "CR2" in big blue letters, file is a page with camera lens staring at me. Previous camera Canon G11 worked fine; that is, transfer pics from camera, and without any processing the file icons display as thumbnails, if I have the View settings correct. Apple says its Canon's EOS Utility, not creating the thumbnail, whereas its CameraWindow for my G11 did. But; I was able to also transfer files from Camera to a folder via Adobe Bridge CS5, and it too didnt create thumbnails. So I'm ruling out Canon's file transfer software somewhat.
Canon says it's Apple, they need to update their OS. I pointed out that their Camera Raw Updater is only for Aperture & Iphoto and wont install any codec or driver specific to the OS. I can open the Raw files fine with Photoshop or Bridge CS5, and if I save file as a PSD, Tiff, or Jpeg, the Icon displays as a thumbnail. But I shouldnt have to process the files to display the icon as a thumbnail; if my G11 an do it, then a better camera ought to be able to do it too.
So who's not allowing the display of file thumbnails; Apple or Canon ?

Jim + Jeff,
Thanks for the clarification. I know that in Bridge you can choose to sort files by pretty much whatever you want. It just seemed odd that if you just open files directly in PS (as far as I can tell) there's no way to adjust the order in which they display.
Oh well, if Bridge is the answer, then Bridge is the answer.
Thanks.

Out Of Memory Error every time my playhead reaches a slug I placed in timel

The past two days in one particular project I get an Error: Out Of Memory every time I play from the timeline and the playhead reaches the slugs I placed for the commercial breaks. I thought maybe the problem was with the commercial sequence I placed over the slug but I deleted it and still get the problem. When I get the message and then advance the playhead a little further to the right, but still over the slug, and press play I get a loud static cracking sound and the error message reappears. When I advance the playhead and hit play again FCP crashes. This happens in this order every time I reach a slug in the timeline. I am using FCP 6.0.5 (reinstalled last night) the project is HDV 1080i60 and I have a Mac Pro Quad Core with 6 GB of memory and I am saving to a esata Raid drive. I have ordered new memory although I do not think that is the problem. Why does stuff like this happen every time a deadline approaches?

meh... spoke too soon! I find that edit-to-tape (assembly edit on Sony HVRM-15 DVCAM mode) is unreliable whenever there is a slug in the timeline. Typically playhback crashes a few seconds after we hit the slug.
Im working around this by either using "black" clips rather than slug, or by dumping out the entire sequence to a separate QT movie, and then sending that out to tape.
Its puzzling that my current-gen quad-core mac pro (4GB memory total, NVIDEA 8800 card, seagate 250GB internal video drives) seems to be having such a hard time handling this...

U430 dull display colors

I got a new u430 touch. Everything seems great except the display. I get the feeling that the colors are washed out and no black levels. Tried a simple test http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php
Unable to see the first 5 black squares. Poor contrast. These are visible in my 5 yr old dell vostro. Is a dull display and lack of vivid colors on u430 normal? Pretty disappointed since display colors are very important for me. Surprised how even a latest display is not vivid. Can someone advise what my options are? Does only U430 suffer from this problem? Are there any calibrations that can fix this to some extent? Are there any lenovo laptops with good display under $600

Did you find a solution? I've got mine rigged to a really old monitor - shamefully the display on that is miles better than the U430 - feels totally washed out!!

Display-Color-Depth

Hi there.
After an application-crash (After Effects) and cold restart my monitor-color-depth suddenly switched from millions of colors to maybe several hundreds of colors. I've tried cleaning the caches, throwing out preferences-files (out of library) and also resetting the color-depth by using third-party-applications. Still not working. I suppose it's some kind of problem in one of the preferences-files in the library, but I don't know which one.
The "About This Mac" section shows that the monitor would show some "Millios Of Colors".
As I can not work like this I made a new user-account. In the new user-account everything runs smoothly but for sure I would like to use my old user-account with all my settings and preferences instead of switching to a total blank one that I have to modify again to fit my needs. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong or how to succesfully force the display to display millions-of-colors again?
When I log into my old user-account the display first shows normally, then switches to "hundreds-of-colors" after a split-second. Is there any way to slow down this process and monitor which preference-file the computer is loading in exactly this moment?
Also weird: when I connect to my old user account via remote access / screensharing (vnc://...) then the display looks normal from the remote computer.
Any ideas would be welcome. Don't know what else to do...
Cheers, Aeiou

What does it say if you go to About This Mac -> More Info -> Graphics & Displays -> Pixel Depth
1: Try resetting the PRAM.
2: Go to System Preferences -> Displays -> Color -> Select another profile or calibrate
3: Go to System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Slide the Contrast bar all the way to the left
Might end up just being a plist to snag though.
