Unknown Symbol SKIP_IND

I'm getting an error Unknown symbol. See Below:

HI Gary,
that was a good question... i am also not sure abt the correct answer but i believe the write_form carry only structures than variables.
if u dont want to add a skip_ind field in internal table ichar then u can use subroutine in script.
<b>/: perform test in program zprogram
/: USING &WA_ICHAR-ATNAM&
/: changing &skip_indi&
/: endperform
in program..
DATA COUNT TYPE I.
form test TABLES tab_in STRUCTURE itcsy
tab_out STRUCTURE itcsy.
DATA : skip_ind type boolean.
READ TABLE tab_in WITH KEY 'WA_ICHAR-ATNAM'.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
COUNT = COUNT + 1.
IF COUNT = 1.
SKIP_IND = 'X'.
READ TABLE tab_out WITH KEY 'SKIP_INDI'.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
tab_out-value = SKIP_IND.
ENDIF.
MODIFY tab_out INDEX sy-tabix.
ELSE.
CLEAR SKIP_IND.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.</b>

Elements vs. symbols - am I doing this wrong?

Hi,
My stage has a good handful of elements, plays fine in the beginning, then slows down as time passes.
My stage only has the main timeline. It contains 23 groups, each with two images inside. All of these (groups and images) are elements, not symbols.
My problem is that, when playing this on my iPhone5, the animations are fluent in the beginning, but towards the end (at 24 sec.) the playback becomes slow and rather choppy...
At any given time, no more than 6 elements are visible (the images simply slide into view and out again).
When I debug the edge javascript code, it seems that all tweens from start to current position are updated each frame - this indicates that playback will in fact become slower, the further it plays... this can't be right, can it?
Am I missing something here?
How do I optimize my animation?

Ok, so I'll answer this myself.
Digging into the code seems to reveal what I suspected: When a tween's time-window comes into scope, the tween is updated every update - this continues even when the tween goes out of scope, causing the animation to run slower because of updates to an increasing number of tweens...
What I still haven't figured out, is why Edge Animate inserts a host of 'injected' tweens when it rebuilds the timeline... I bet it would make sense if I understood the complete structure, but this stunt triples my tween count which is devastating to my animation.

Illustrator script to create symbols from images in folder

Time to give back to the community...
Here is a script I recently devised to bulk create symbols from images in a folder. Tested with Illustrator CC 2014.

Best practices for handling elements and symbols (including preloading)

I am trying to learn Edge Animate and I have not seen enough animations to know how this is typically handled and I searched the forum and have not found an answer either.
If you have many different elements and symbols for a project, what is the best practice for having them appear, disappear, etc. on the timeline? I ask this question not only from a performance based perspective, but also keeping in mind the idea of preloading. This is a 2 part question:
Part 1: Using elements and symbols later in the timeline:
Since artwork is always imported directly to the stage in an "always on" status, should we place a visibility OFF on every item until we need it?
or should they be opacity 0 until I need them?
or should they be set to visibility hidden until I need them?
Which of these is the best option if you don't want the element / symbol visible until later in the timeline? Does it matter?
Part 2: Impact on page loading
Does the above question have any impact upon page loading speed
or is this something handled in preloading?
or do you need to make a special preloader?
Thanks for the help.

Hi, escargo-
Good questions!
Part 1: Using elements and symbols later in the timeline:
Since artwork is always imported directly to the stage in an "always on" status, should we place a visibility OFF on every item until we need it?
or should they be opacity 0 until I need them?
or should they be set to visibility hidden until I need them?
Which of these is the best option if you don't want the element / symbol visible until later in the timeline? Does it matter?
I would recommend that you set your visibility to "off" instead of simply changing the opacity. The reason I suggest this is that when your visibility is set to off, your object's hit points also disappear. If you have any type of interactivity, having the object still visible but with 0 opacity will interfere with anything you have underneath it in the display order.
Part 2: Impact on page loading
Does the above question have any impact upon page loading speed
or is this something handled in preloading?
or do you need to make a special preloader?
Thanks for the help.
No, none of this has any impact on page load. As you already noticed, all of the assets of your project will load before it displays. If you want only part of your composition to load, you may want to do what we call a multi-composition project. There's a sample of that in the Edge Animate API in the Advanced section, and plenty of posts in the forums (and one in the team's blog) explaining how to do that.

Exporting animated symbol to image sequence

Hi guys!
I'm unable to export an animated symbol to image sequence properly because the symbol does not animate.
I created the tweens in multiple layers, then cut-pasted all layers to a new symbol. I did this so I could then just do some tween motions on the symbol.
The tweening is perfect, but when I export the image sequence, the images do not animate the way it does on the Flash player. All I get is an image sequence with the tweened symbol, but the symbol itself does not animate.
I'd really appreciate if you guys could give me a tip on how to get the symbol to animate when exporting the image sequence.
Alternatively, is there a way to motion-tween multiple layers simoultaneously? (Layers which are themselves tweened)
Thank you guys!
Any additional info, I'll be checking regularly so I can provide as much description as possible to get this to work.

Ok, I figured it out!
I changed the symbol type to "Graphic," and I was able to see the animation in the timeline. Easy!
Now I just exported the movie to png sequence, and bam! Magic!
If anyone has this problem, don't hesitate to ask me and I'll ellaborate on what I did.
Thanks!

Unknown Symbols

Hi,
While processing some files, we do encounter some unknown symbols which due to this XI doesn't process the files.
It was a hard task for us to check each individual line item to look for any unusual symbols.
I spent one hour to check a file of 10000 records by splitting and executing it in XI.
Is there any easy way of finding these unknown symbols or some interpreters to do this.
We have a .csv files which had these symbols.
Regards
Krish

Hi Krish,
As already prateek mentioned until unless you know in which encoding they fall into you can make a decision. So based upon a few characters see in wihch encoding they are falling and use it accordingly.

HP Deskjet 3052A printing English in unknown symbols

I was using my HP Windows 7 Home Premium Laptop to search a web site for a schedule of events. I tried to print the schedule and when the printing was complete, the schedule that I viewed in English was printed in some unknown symbols. I printed it a second time after disconnecting and reconnecting the printer. I printed the English version again, this time it was in a different set of unknown symbols. HELP!
I have not tried to print anything in several weeks. My printer was working fine before.

Hello ECM310,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when you try to print a schedule of events, it prints out with symbols. I will do my best to assist you! How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB?
Could you try printing from Notepad on your computer to verify if you're experiencing this different symbols?
I would recommend following this HP document on Continuous Pages of Strange or Garbled Characters Print in Windows. (This is only for a USB connection.)
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

[SOLVED] Unknown symbol usb_serial_*

Hi,
I'm trying use a module that serializes wishbone protocol over usb... The point is that I have added this module in Ubuntu distros without problems, but my Arch box is complaining:

well, all this calls are indeed in the kernel src linux/drivers/usb, but I don't see that the archlinux this usb-serial driver has...

The
depmod -a
did the trick.
man depmod wrote:
Depmod creates a "Makefile"-like dependency file, based on the symbols it finds in the set of modules mentioned on the command line or from the directories specified in the configuration file. This dependency file is later used by modprobe to automatically load the correct module or stack of modules.
/sbin/depmod -a
somewhere in the rc-files in /etc/rc.d, so that the correct module dependencies will be available immediately after booting the system. Note that the option -a is now optional.

SAPSCRIPT :error "unknown symbol adrc-name1"

Hi everyone,
In my driver program, i have fetched data in adrc.
In the sapscript, i have written "&WA_ADRC-NAME1& " in the editor.
While checking the texts, i get the error "Unknown symbol WA_ADRC-NAME1.
Please suggest,
Thanks in Advance.
Regds,

Thats just because this fielld is not defined in the script with the DEFINE statement. You are using the work area directly to display the field.
This will come for all the fields not declared in the script.
This will not put any impact on your script.

ThinkPad T500, HDAPS: tp_smapi: Unknown symbol thinkpad_*

I followed the guide at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HDAPS, but didn't get further than the tp_smapi section:
# modprobe tp_smapi
FATAL: Error inserting tp_smapi (/lib/modules/2.6.28-ARCH/extra/tp_smapi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
# dmesg | tail -n5
thinkpad_ec: cannot claim IO ports 0x1600-0x161f... consider using force_io=1.
tp_smapi: Unknown symbol thinkpad_ec_unlock
tp_smapi: Unknown symbol thinkpad_ec_invalidate
tp_smapi: Unknown symbol thinkpad_ec_read_row
tp_smapi: Unknown symbol thinkpad_ec_lock
# ll /sys/devices/platform/smapi
ls: cannot access /sys/devices/platform/smapi: No such file or directory
# ll /dev/js
ls: cannot access /dev/js: No such file or directory
What's wrong?

The module thinkpad_ec has to be loaded before you can use tp_smapi,
but it refuses to load on your system becaue it can't claim certain IO ports.
You can force thinkpad_ec to claim the ports with modprobe thinkpad_ec force_io=1,
and to make it permanent you can add options thinkpad_ec force_io=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/options.
Edit: I have to tell thinkpad_ec to force claiming the ports on my system as well (Lenovo ThinkPad X200)
and so far I haven't had any problems with it, but there's no guarantee it'll work on your system. Just try.
