Familiar with GRAYSCALE ?
can i convert a color image to grayscale.
PLEASE!
is it using colorTramsform? or the matrix one?
well any ideas are welcome
thanks
It is possible with color matrix, but not to
"true" grayscale, as the fact that different
colors actually show up differently on certain monitors may make
some colors that are lighter show up darker when in grayscale and
vice-versa, but i'm sure you're not after that kind of accuracy as
you probably won't even notice the difference.
var mat:Array = [0.33, 0.33, 0.33, 0, 0, 0.33, 0.33, 0.33, 0,
0, 0.33, 0.33, 0.33, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0];
var colorMat:ColorMatrixFilter = new ColorMatrixFilter(mat);
clip.filters = [colorMat];

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.
os x, Mac OS X (10.6)I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy.

After a months of stable work my new IPad suddenly denies to find cell network under any circumstances.Please advice if anyone familiar with that problem?
It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

I am not a newer to Java.
Frankly, I am familiar with the basic principle of java.
But I don't know how to further my study.That doesn't really tell us anything. "Familiar with the basic concept" has lots of interpretations, and beginners tend to think they're more skilled than they really are.
For beginner level stuff, check out the links below. If you find them too elementary, then you should have an idea of a particuar area you want to learn--sockets, web applications, database operations, etc.
If you just want to improve your overall skill, then study up on OO concepts, create some software, answer questions here and pay attention when you get corrected.

Anybody generally familiar with laptop monitor sync ranges?
After having been happy with arch linux on my desktop for almost 12 hours, I'm now configuring it for my laptop. I'm now working on my XFree86 configuration, and I've hit a snafu. I have no idea what the horizontal & vertical sync ranges ought to be. I never got any monitor documentation with my laptop, and the technical specifications provided by gateway (the manufacturer; not very OSS friendly hardware, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone getting a new computer) (on the other hand, the boxes are very pretty) are a little bit lacking.
Consequently, here is everything I can dig up. Is there anyone generally familiar with the kind of frequencies that modern laptop monitors can handle, who can give me a good idea of some values to use?
We've got:
15.0-inch active matrix (TFT) LCD color display
Maximum panel resolution: 1024 × 768
Maximum color depth: 32-bit (16.7 million colors)
LCD supported video modes: XGA
LCD maximum refresh rate: 60 Hz
Thanks!my lcd-config looks like this:
Section "Monitor"
Option "CalcAlgorithm" "CheckDesktopGeometry"
DisplaySize 305 230
HorizSync 28-95
Identifier "LCD"
ModelName "FlexView 1600X1200"
VendorName "IBM"
VertRefresh 52-82
# UseModes "Modes[0]"
ModeLine "1600x1200/60Hz" 162 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204
1250 +HSync +VSync
Option "DPMS
EndSection
but the data i got from the manual, so it's not guessing but knowing
you can try the refresh and sync rates i use if nobody answers specific for your machine --- i know this settings work on 4 different lcd's for sure and never heard that they made trouble
instead of the Modeline (i use), i suggest you to write modelines and then just include the Modes-section you wrote to the monitor section (the out-commented line i added)
would be better you get other replys specific on your hardware - mine is more general, sorry -
Anybody familiar with the details of implementing the Adobe PDF virtual printer?
Hello, all.
We need to implement a virtual printer similar to the legendary one by Adobe. The images processed by it will be detailed CAD drawing.
Can a kind soul point me in the appropriate direction? For starters: what type of data (what format) is the virtual printer expected to receive?
This will be for Windows.
TIA,
-RFHWell... it isn't really a data format. A device driver (which includes a printer driver) provides a number of callbacks which correspond to the graphical calls made by a printing program. (At least, that's how it was when I looked into it a very long time ago). A driver might be asked to draw lines or boxes, to output text with particular fonts and attributes, or to accept a variety of raster graphics. This is something for an experienced programmer, or team, already very familiar with Windows graphic models such as GDI: device drivers are not easy to develop or debug, and because they run with special privileges; bugs in them have the potential to completely crash the system (blue screen of death) (although I read of something called "user mode drivers" which might be safer).
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/gg463348.aspx is a place where some of this seems to be discussed. I don't know whether you have to sign up with Microsoft. You might, because recent OSs will only install signed drivers.
Updated: if you still want to make a PDF, this is an enormous task, so big that Adobe dropped the two drivers they once had. Adobe don't even write the Adobe PDF driver. Rather, they use the operating system's PostScript driver, then convert PostScript to PDF using Distiller, a tool they conveniently already had. Adobe provide what I think is called a "print monitor" (?) that takes the output from the driver once it is fully formatted. If you can process PostScript you could do the same. (Note: a PostScript interpreter from scratch is a considerably larger task than a print driver, so that isn't an easy option; look at 5-10 person years if the people are sufficiently skilled). -
Anyone familiar with Flash Presentations?
Hi.
I continue to have problems playing movieclips on certain
slides of a Flash Presentation.
If anyone has *reasonable* experience with Flash
presentations please let me know. You might be familiar with the
problem, or have suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Kchez Lou,

Well, that would certainly be one approach, but then you
lose out on the
benefit of nested movie clips, not the least of which is
avoidance of
timeline sprawl. I played a bit more with the Slide API this
morning. I
can see what's going on. Under the hood, each slide is a
movie clip, and
they all exist at once, so if you have nested animation on
any slide ...
they all start playing even on slide 1, and might in fact
have played
through by the time you hit slide 5.
> 2. Do you know of a way to have an animation stop on the
last
> frame, yet replay on slide re-entry?
Here's what I came up with. Let's assume you have two
buttons on the
root presentation slide. By default, Flash gives you a root
slide named
"presentation" and a child slide named "slide1". In my
experiment, I added
a Next and Previous button to "presentation" and wired them
up like this:
btnNext.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
btnPrev.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoPreviousSlide();
This uses the button event handling approach I prefer,
personally, over
on() and onClipEvent() -- I'm not sure which approach you're
using. In this
approach, the code codes into a keyframe, typically a
dedicated scripts
layer, rather than attached to the object itself. The buttons
have the
instance names btnNext and btnPrev. A function is assigned to
the
Button.onRelease event of each button instance, and the
functions call
either Slide.gotoNextSlide() or Slide.gotoPreviousSlide() as
appropriate.
In order to target the relevant Slide instance, I use the
Slide.currentSlide
property, which I reference via the expression this._parent.
Let me explain that, real quick. In the above code, the word
"this"
refers to the corresponding button instance itself -- in
btnNext's onRelease
handler, "this" refers to btnNext. btnNext -- the button
symbol -- is, by
nature, an instance of the Button class. Consulting the
Button class in the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference, I see that all button
instances have a
Button._parent property, which points to the object that
contains the
button. Cool. Therefore, from a button's point of view,
this._parent
refers to the timeline that contains the button. Normally,
such a reference
points to a MovieClip instance (which is what timelines are;
they're movie
clips). That's the case here, too, but thanks to the way
object-oriented
programming works, and because we're inside a Slide
presentation, the parent
movie clip of this button is also an instance of the Slide
class.
Look up "Slide class" in the Components Language Reference,
and you'll
see the full pedigree. Any instance of Slide has the
following family tree:
MovieClip > UIObject > UIComponent > View >
Loader > Screen > Slide. Slides
*are* movie clips, but they're more than that. They're also
UIObjects,
which are objects that contain all the functionality of movie
clips, and
then some. They're also UIComponents, which addes even more
functionality,
and so on ... all the way through Slide. One of the
properties of the Slide
class is Slide.currentSlide. Bingo!
So ... this._parent (in this context) refers to a Slide
instance, which
means this._parent.currentSlide refers to the currently
showing slide, which
is obviously also a Slide instance. For that reason, we can
still invoke
Slide class methods on the reference, which is why something
like
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide() works.
Forgive me, by the way, if you already understand all of
this. Forum
replies are searchable, and who knows ... in the future, the
explanation has
the potential to help someone else, too. :)
Okay, so now the issue is, we want each current slide to run
through any
nested movie clips it may have, regardless of their instance
names, and tell
each movie clip to start again from frame 1 of its own
timeline. Amend the
above code to look like this:
import mx.screens.Slide;
btnNext.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
var slide:Slide = this._parent.currentSlide;
for (var prop:String in slide) {
if (typeof(slide[prop] == "movieclip")) {
slide[prop].gotoAndPlay(1);
btnPrev.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoPreviousSlide();
var slide:Slide = this._parent.currentSlide;
for (var prop:String in slide) {
if (typeof(slide[prop] == "movieclip")) {
slide[prop].gotoAndPlay(1);
The import statement allows us to reference Slide as a
datatype, which
happens just below the line in each event handler that was
already there.
To save a few keystrokes (basically, to make the code easier
to read), we're
creating a temporary variable, slide, and setting it to the
same
this._parent.currentSlide expression we already used. Once
gotoNextSlide()
or gotoPreviousSlide() is called, the value of
this._parent.currentSlide
changes, because now a *new* slide is the current slide. It's
the new slide
we're interested in. Using the variable slide as a kind of
shorthand, we
use a for..in loop to run through all the properties of the
current slide.
If the datatype of a given propery is a movie clip, we tell
it to go to
frame 1 of its own timeline and start playing.
What I've spelled out may or may not fit, exactly, with your
current
circumstance, but that's why I spent a bit of time explaining
the mechanics
of it. I hope that steers you in a useful direction. :)

Anyone familiar with "The Standby Wizard for Oracle "
Is anyone familiar with "The Standby Wizard for Oracle " by Relational Database Consultants, Inc?
It is a GUI app that supposedly simplifies and automates the creation, maintenance, and switchback functions necessary to implement Oracle's standby database paradigm for high-availability.
I have a very small IT shop and simplification with data protection is important to me.
I'd like to read anyones thoughts if you have such.Hi
I never used this tool. However it is important that you have the right infrastructure, too. A standby database wrong implemented is useless. You can try to call a consult in near you to implement the dataguard.
Does Relational Database Consultants has a documentation about the product?

Anyone familiar with forms and snippets

Sir, anything beyond iWeb requires effort.
Find a form creator, such as wufoo, and display the form in a html snippet with an <iframe>. In the end it's the same, whether you create the form from scratch yourself or use a service :

My webhoster provides a formcreator :

Confused: You say nothing will "catch" in the slot, which I take to mean the optical drive won't accept anything. Just spits it out. Then you say you thought there was an eject button to push, which would imply there's a stuck disc inside.
If it's the latter, try holding down the mouse while booting.

Not a chance you are being hacked through that unless you have a cable attached to that port.

Check out the security and privacy system preferences.
