Fade effect makes LiveCycle unusable

The last thread on this seems to have died so I am re-posting. I really need to find a solution for this as I would very much love to use the software I purchased.
When designing a form - starting with a brand new form, empty page - every element that I drag onto the page gradually fades into view, taking about 5 seconds from the time when I drop the element onto the page to the time it is actually in place and ready to be modified.
It does not matter which element I drop in, every one of them does this. It makes the program so slow that it is unusable.
Is there a way to turn off this visual effect somewhere? I don't need it and it really causes a problem with the base function of the application.

I don't see an issue. I'm running a slightly older version, but I have to believe that if this was a version issue Adobe would have heard about it from more people. Are you running on a laptop or desktop? All I can think of is for you to check your video card settings, and maybe play with some of the settings for h/w acceleration and effects. Maybe there's some wierd driver thing going on.

IE7 fade effect makes fonts ugly

EDIT: well i pulled a real jerk move, turns out this has been
addressed, alot.
Put a background color on your div and or set the font styles
to the bold text.
thx :)

I have found a workaround, the problem may be in the freetype version, I have downloaded freetype2 from a 0.7 archlinux repo:
ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr … pkg.tar.gz
Instead of installing, you can uncompress the package an copy the file libfreetype.so.6.3.6 to /opt/openoffice/program/libfreetype.so.6
This will make oo use that library instead of the systems one
It's weird, why all apps except oo work with the latest version?

Fade effect question

I can implement a fade in effect with a single image, but I
cannot get the same code to work with the arrayed images generated
in the "photoDemo" tutorial on the Adobe site. Sho Kuwamoto has a
fade in working in his tutorial (
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flexbuilder2/tutorials/#)
though with different syntax (that I can't make work either), so I
know the array isn't the issue. Why does this work in one, but not
the other, example?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the FB3
Beta for the moment.
Thanks in advance.
1) In this example, the fade out works fine ...
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="

2) In the itemRenderer ("thumbnails" here) of the "photoDemo"
tutorial on the Adobe site (
http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/Flex/1b.+Code+Files),
it does not. It compiles and runs, but seems to ignore the effect
call. Why?

I've never used this effect. Maybe if you preload the image(s)...
Go to Behaviors panel.
Click the plus sign (+).
From the drop menu, select Preload Images.

Fade Effect

I have a code on my buttons, which makes a blank image
currently on stage get replaced with a different one when a button
is rolled over.
The code I am using is this:
on mouseenter me
sprite(3).member="a"
on mouseleave me
sprite(3).member="blank"
end
Very simple lingo. Is there a way that when the new image
comes to view, it fades in when the mouse rolls over the button,
instead of just popping in, and fade out once the mouse leaves the
button, so that I end up with a smooth transition.
Thank you.

Guys:
Thanks for taking your time to help me with the issue.
I actually got an answer from another member that solved my
problem. The code that was posted here was making the button sprite
do the fade effect.
My friend did some tweaking to that code to achieve what I
needed.
Here is the code:
property fadeSprite
property totalSteps
property eachStep
property animateMe
on getPropertyDescriptionList
myPropList = [:]
myPropList.addProp(#totalSteps,[#comment:"select the number
of steps for the
fade:",#format:#integer,#range:[#min:5,#max:20],#default:10])
myPropList.addProp(#fadeSprite,[#comment:"enter the sprite
to fade:",#format:#integer,#default:1])
return myPropList
end
on beginSprite me
sprite(fadeSprite).blend = 0
animateMe = true
eachStep = 100/totalSteps
end
on mouseEnter me
animateMe = false
end
on mouseLeave me
animateMe = true
end
on enterFrame me
if animateMe then
if sprite(fadeSprite).blend > 0 then
sprite(fadeSprite).blend = sprite(fadeSprite).blend -
eachStep
end if
else
if sprite(fadeSprite).blend < 100 then
sprite(fadeSprite).blend = sprite(fadeSprite).blend +
eachStep
end if
end if
end
With this one, I am able to select which sprite is fading in
and out. Again, thanks for your help.

Fade effect: how to do with "onEnterFrame"?

Hi,
I have a map with each city represented as a dot (MC). When
you mouse over the dot, another MC with more city details/text
quickly fades in, and fades out when you roll out. But I can't get
the full fade effect working. Need your advice...
In the dot MC, I put:
on (rollOver) {
_root.showCity();
on (rollOut) {
_root.hideCity();
In the root, showCity() and hideCity() are functions to fade
in and out the city details MC (city_sanfrancisco). I figured they
should be at the root level so they can be used by other city dots
(city_sandiego, city_boston, etc.) as well:
//this lets me change the speed for fading in and another
speed for fading out
var speedIn;
speedIn = 20;
var speedOut;
speedOut = 20;
//hard-coded city for now; set city to invisible when movie
starts
var city = city_sanfrancisco;
city._alpha = 0;
//this shows the city details by fading in
function showCity(){
city._alpha += _root.speedIn;
if (city._alpha > 100){
city._alpha = 100;
function hideCity(){
city._alpha -= _root.speedOut;
if (city._alpha < 0){
city._alpha = 0;
What this doesn't do is the full fade effect, because the
function only executes once, so city._alpha doesn't reach 100 when
it fades in. I've seen in other fade effect scripts, that they use
the enterFrame event, but I don't now how to use it here... or what
is the right syntax to make the city details MC fade in to 100% on
rollOver, and fade out to 0 on rollOut... and still be able to
apply a speed setting.
Any help would be appreciated.

you could try something like this:
on(rollOver){
onEnterFrame = showCity;
then modify your showCity function slightly:
function showCity(){
city._alpha += _root.speedIn;
if (city._alpha > 100){
city._alpha = 100;
delete onEnterFrame;
.. with similar adjustments to you on rollOut code.
Hope this helps,
Sinead.

Opening a popup window with fade effect

Hi,
I have a scenario where I want to open a pop up title window with some nice effect.
Can you please suggest how do I achieve it?
I have a repeater that repeats set of Text UI comps and I want to show a pop up window on MouseOver or MouseClick of each of these Text UI comps.
Please help.
Thank you,
Amey

if you want to open an title Window with a smooth fade effect there are more than one possible ways.
1. Declare Fade Effect
     <s:Fade id="windowFade" target="{_titleWindow}" alphaFrom="0.0" alphaTo="1.0" />
2. Execute the fade effect on openening
     2.1 start the effect after the PopUpManager.addPopUp
     PopUpManager.addPopUp(_titleWindow, this);
     windowFade.play();
     2.2 start the effect on added-Event
     protected function titlewindow1_addedHandler(event:Event):void
          windowFade.play();
3. Make sure the effect is stopped before you start the animation with windowFade.stop()

Tabbed Panel with Fade Effect

Open my site, dg-ad.com, and the tabbed panel drop down menu has the first level visible. Click on a menu item and the second level becomes visible. The second level has a Spry fade effect so it fades into view nicely. The class .TabbedPanelContent sets the visibilty of the second layer hidden, and there is no distracting flicker, good so far.
Besides clicking on menu item I often send clients a link with a string query which lands them on my site with the tabbed panel open to what I want them to see initially., I use a string query in the URL per Dave Powers technique often refered to in this forum titled'Spry: Opening Specific Tabs and Panels from Another Page".
Because the visibility is set to hidden in the CSS the second level of the tabbed panel is still invisible, So I am looking for suggestions that may involve scripting the style or playing with the CSS to overide the CSS and make the second level visible when users arrive via the query string method.
Thanks for taking a look!

For Spry 1.0 widgets, each widget had one core file. Each of them had common things like addClassName(), removeClassname(), along with a bunch of basic functionality. So that adds up to a lot of redundant code.
This way, all that common stuff is kept in a single file. That means that each widget base class just has what it needs to glue everything together.
Many widgets are 'panel' based: accordions, tabbed panels, slideshows. So handling those panels is done via the PanelSet and PanelSelector files.
You will find SpryTabbedPanels2.js much smaller than the first version.
By components, for instance: SpryFadingPanels.js is only needed if you want to fade between panels. If you don't want that effect, you don't need to use it. WIth components and plugins, you or anyone else can write a different transition and make that available to all your Spry UI widgets.
I don't like all the includes either but it's the right way to go with what we are doing.
Thanks,
Don

Appear/fade effect problems

I'm working on a portfolio website: www.carolinedelson.com
The index page image appears how i want it to, but when you click s/s 2013 and click one of the gifs, the images flash on the screen then display the effect. i don't know how to change this to a smooth fade in. I also work in the display mode of dreamweaver cs6 a lot more than directly with the code, so any simple fixes would be really appreciated!

Transition fade effect does not show at beginning

I'm using TabNavigator and added fade transition between the
tabs.
I can not see the transition effect on the first tab of
TabNavigator when page shows up at very first time.
The transition effect does show up when I change tabs from
one to other. I understand that when accessing
the page at very first time, there is no transition. But I
still want to see the fade effect on the pictures.
Is there a way to make the fade effect showing when the page
is displayed at very first time?

You could do that as well, but if have your component's
visibility=false in mxml, you'll have to change it to true every
time you want to actually see/edit it using the FB design mode. So
unless you never use that, it makes sense to just do what Amy
mentioned before or a variation. You could probably also set the
visibility to false, and then immediately set it to true in a
creationComplete event handler, but that's just getting
silly.

Appear/Fade Effect Trouble

I'm using the appear/fade effect to make the elements on my

just fading in, they flash on screen for a millisecond before they
fade in. How do I solve this issue?
Here's an example of the code:

How do I create a fade effect w/ a sample?

Hi...
I'm trying to get a certain effect but have yet to stumble across a good way to get the effect.
I want to make a sample repeat until fade... In other words, I want it to play the sample and then loop 3 or 4 times until it fades into nothingness. For some reason I have a feeling there is a few ways to get to this type of sound...
What is the best way? An FX Plugin, Loop/Sample Editor, Inside the DAW itself? Maybe another way?
I'd like to get some tips on how to accomplish this effect... Let me know if I'm not explaining the type of sound I'm looking for properly... But it's basically an echo to fade effect used quite commonly... I just don't know the best way to achieve it.
Thanks!

Ok, follow me on this one.
Create an Instrument track, load the EXS24 Sampler in the instrument slot. Load any drum kit. (note: this could be a one-shot sample on an audio track as well)
Next... load the Stereo Delay into an INSERT.
If you play a snare drum sound are you hearing the ping-pong echo effect. (I know that's not what you're going for, this is just a test.)
pancenter-
p.s. if you loaded the "Sample Delay" plugin, it won't work that's a different type of delay related to timing.
ps.II I suggest trying the tape delay, experiment and become familiar with the controls, also, check out presets on all of the plugs.

[CS3] Flash buttons with fade effects.

Well as the title says, i've got some buttons in Flash CS3,
using AS 2 which when clicked changes the frame. The thing is that
i want to add a fade effect to the text area AFTER the button was
pressed. So for example:
The user is reading the text, he presses one of the buttons
(all of which change frames, in this case text) and the text fades
away and the new text fades in.
Well, i've designed the frames needed for this, so i've got
10 frames before the frame the user will see for it to fade in and
10 frames after it to fade out. What i havent figured out yet is
how i'll make the script do that. I mean, i can make the script go
forward one frame, starting the fade out effect, i can make it go
to the frame i want but how will i do both.
I've got 6 buttons and 6 corresponding texts.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
P.S.: Any ideas welcome. I can change the frame layout.
P.S.S.: Also forgot to mention that making layers for every
combination is out of question....

I've already had them placed each on their layer. I thought i
might need mobility on the timeline.
Let me see how much of this i understand...
quote:
which im assuming are MovieClip instances
They're graphics but i can simply change them to be movie
clips if it's the case.
quote:
do the same with your buttons on a seperate layer but you
will only need one for them all
I've lost you here....you're saying ill only need one AS
reference?
quote:
for(var i=0; i<btns.length; i++) {
Hmm... you're using the size of the array to set how many
times the loop control will actually loop? Took me a bit to figure
out what length an array could have
quote:
new Tween(current, '_alpha', Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 10,
false);
new Tween(clips[this.id], '_alpha', Strong.easeOut, 0, 100,
10, false);
current = clips[this.id];
//start the first clip transition 'in'
current = clips[0];
new Tween(clips[0], '_alpha', Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 10,
false);
Ok i didnt get most of this but i'll have to check out the
parameters for the Tween function.
Actually i plan on going from a 50% alpha to a 100%, but
that's just my choice.
Thanks a lot and hope i dont become too annoying.
P.S. I had a huge revelation at the end when i re-read the
code and finally understood how this is going to work.

Making a fade effect on dreamweaver

okay, what i want to do is make a fade effect on the pictures
that i have. what i have in the website are 4 pictures, positioned
like this:
|................| |................|
|......1........| |.....3.........|
|_______| |_______|
|................| |...............|
|......2........| |.......4.......|
|_______| |_______|
each number indicates another picture, plz pardon my crappy
cyber drawing. i want the pictures to fade slowly, starting with 1
and ending with 4. So like this: (image 1 appears) (then image 2
appears) (then image 3 appears) (finally image 4 appears), you get
the idea.
I know that there is a fade effect under dreamweaver behavers
but that effect isn't what im looking for because u cannot set the
duration of the fade, nor the time of it.
i also tried making .gif animation fade effects in fireworks,
but i dislike that because it takes too much space, increasing my
picture by almost 100 kb.

Version 1.3 - June 7, 2004?
I wouldn't use that - I'd use jQuery instead. But as far as I
know there
would be no way to program consecutive fades as originally
requested.

Drag & Drop - drag image fade effect

I'm attaching drag image using InitializeFromBitmap in IDragSourceHelper and I noticed attached image get some kind of fade-out effect if width exceeds 300px, which itself isn't that bad, considering normal DPI settings. But this 300px isn't scaled with
system DPI, so any drag image that I want to be opaque needs to be tiny.
Is there any way to avoid applying this fade effect, or to make it respect DPI setting?

Hi pault36225916,
As per my understanding, you are using Acrobat X and want to add images directly into the PD document (correct me if I am wrong, please).
If so, then you can follow the steps given below:
1. Go to Tools > Content > Edit Object Tool
2. Right-click the page and choose Place Image
3. Choose any of these image formats: bmp, jpeg, gif, pcx, png, jpeg2000 or tiff
4. Select an image file and click open.
A copy of an image file appears on the PDF page with the same resolution as the original one.
Hope the above information helps you.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
Anubha

Image rotation with fade effect

I am new to the spry framework and have just started going
through the examples to see if I could create an image rotator that
fades the images into each other when changing. I have taken
snippets from different places to do this and think I have the
answer but really wanted some feedback to sanity check and let me
know if this is the best way of doing it. If it is, then I hope
others will find it useful.
Here is the url to the example:
