Fastest way to create buttons from TOC entries?

I am trying to make a TOC interactive by applying rollovers and links to each entry. What is the fastest way to create buttons out of each entry? Would the "create outlines" command be appropriate? As it stands now, I am copying an entry, pasting it into a new frame, aligning it over the original entry, then converting to button and applying behaviors. There's got to be a more efficient way to do this!
Using CS3 Design Standard.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Matt,
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

above. The "temporarily" was an understatement at the time -- this has been in effect for, what? the past 2 years? Now it's just a poignant Daily Reminder of Jive's many shortcomings.

Fastest way to create DVD from HD

I would like to compile and render a single layer DVD from multiple .M2V files.
The DVD threshold of 4.7GB is required as most projectors here in Asia can not handle multi-layer DVD.
Is there another way to go about compiling and rendering that will decrease processing time? Another format? A modular methodology?
Our processing time using to create M2V files using Compressor is taking more than 8 hours. All advice welcomed!

You need faster hardware. A Powerbook G4 is going to take a long time no matter what you do. Time to upgrade - time is money.

Fastest Way To Create Ultrabeat Instrument From Wav Loop?

Hello, can anyone share the fastest way to create and instrument from a WAV file?
I know you can convert a wav to ESX24 instrument but I use Ultrabeat not ESX.
Im finding my self divinding each shot into region and then exporting that to its own file.
Is there a faster/simpler way?
-Thanks

You're right! It does work, however, if you follow these steps:
1. Right-click on wave file in Arrange and choose "Slice at Transient Markers" or use the corresponding key command.
2. Select all the split regions right-click on them and choose: Convert > Convert to new audio file(s)
3. Again, with all the regions selected choose: Convert to new sampler track.
4. Now launch Ultrabeat. Click on the Import button anc choose the .exs file you've just created (will be located in your project folder). Then drag the audio files into UB as desired.
You could skip Part 3 altogether and simply slice at transients, convert to new audio file(s) and then in a new kit of UB drag them into the sample window of OSC for each part...

Fastest way to create subtitles

Hi! What is the fastest way to create subtitles. I have a short film with one hundred subtitles. I have a text list with time codes, can I use that somehow? Or do I have to enter every subtile separately? And what are the basic settings?

A possibility seems to be using Quicktime Pro to add your text to a Quicktime movie. The Apple instructions are in Text Track Tutorial. I never used it in real life,... but I tested it in the past and it seemed to be doing what I expected: to layout text over an existing movie at preassigned timecodes...
For sure you must first adapt your text and timecodes to the required format, and most of all you must have the "original" timecode in your movie untouched (all timecodes your text is making reference to). But if you edited and exported your movie from FCE you lost the original timecodes... so I'm not sure this may help you.
The other approach is manual: in FCE add a text clip at the correct timecodes, one at the time...

Brilliant way to create titles from text files

It was just pointed out to me by a fellow named Greg Hester that there is a way to create titles from a Microsoft Word file using Adobe InDesign. You can create as many titles as you need, and even change text positions around from title to title. Then you export as a PNG.
If you need to go back and change a color or a font type or size or whatever, you can do that to all of them at once and then just export again. They will automatically update in Premiere Pro.
I have never even opened InDesign before, and I was able to follow the instructions in this tutorial without a strain.
The tutorial doesn't show that you can import a frame capture from the video to help position the text, but you can.
This is very cool. If you subscribe to the Creative Cloud, then you have access to InDesign.

Best would be to have this template/style functionality in the title tool itself though
Agreed.
Remember, all this InDesign thing does is create images that can be used as titles. My Macro created actual titles.
What really needs to happen is to have a plugin that creates titles from simple text files like the ones created from Notepad, so no Microsoft program is required. The file could have the text, the font style, and many other parameters, and then it could have the time to place the title on the sequence.
But in the meantime, this InDesign thing seems to be the best we can do for now. If, however, you want to use a fancy font style and it will all be in English, you can use my macro.

Fastest way to transfert data from cRIO

Is anybody know the fastest way to transfert data from cRIO? I tested shared variable, but it's not fast enough. What is the fastest speed could we achieve with shared variable in cRIO? how can I transfert 50000 32 bit word per second from cRIO to my PC? This should run 24h/day.
Thanks

Hi Benoit,
Thanks for your post and I hope your well. I noticed you've not received a reply - and I would like offer my advice.
Shared variables are one way to communicate over the Ethernet. You can use UDP, TCP and VI Server also.
UDP is the fastest network protocol but it includes little error handling and can lose data. TCP is commonly used for large systems. TCP takes more programming effort than shared variables, however, it provides a good mix of speed and reliability. You can use the VI server to run Vis and/or access and set the value of controls and indictors, but it is slower and not recommended for larger data sets.
Please let me know what you think,
Kind Regards,
James.

Fastest way to create child class from parent?

As the subject states, what do you folks find is fastest when creating child classes directly from the parent? (esp. when the parent is in a lvlib) I thought I'd post up and ask because the fastest way I've found to get working takes a few steps.
Any suggestions ae appreciatized!
-pat

Thanks for the quick response Ben!
Yea, I apologize, in your response I realize my OP was more than vague haha (it hapens when you get used to your own way of doing things I guess huh)- I'm trying to create a child from a parent so that it has all of the methods that the parent has.
In order to do so I currently have to open and close LV a few times during my current process so that vi's in memory dont get mixed up- Currently I save a copy of the parent class in a sub dir of where it is saved, close out of LV, open the new 'copy of parent.lvclass', save as>>rename 'child class.lvclass', close LV, and open up the project to 'add file', then right click>>properties>>inheritance.
Is this the only way to do this?
Thanks again!

p.s. I'm tempted to steal your cell phone sig, hope you dont mind haha good stuff!

Fastest way to create a group from list of recived emails

I thought this would be as easy as drag and drop but no such luck.
Here's the situation. I had a class of 25 students email me from their mobile phones all using the same subject. Now I'd like to create a mailing list / group so that I can easly contact all of them if need be. I tried creating a new group and dragging all of the emails into it to no avail. I also tried right clicking and checking the menus to see if there were any options which there weren't.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'd be open to using automator or something similar if it worked.
Thanks,
Greg

I think the fastest way to do this is in Mail>Message>Add to Address Book, then in AB>File>New Smart Group>Card:>Was updated After... say yesterday, then select all those & make a new (not Smart) Group to drag them to so it won't change after that.
Unless you could get them all to eMail with some other unique that AB can see as a Group field.

Fastest way to transfer information from my old MacBook Pro to a new one?

What is fastest way to transfer data between MacBook pros? It takes forever on wi-if.

Sometimes the fastest way would be just to transfer only your files via a external hard drive via drag and drop methods into the same named accounts on the new machine. This is especially useful if you want to avoid corruption of the old machine and have a chance to clean house of older files.
By the time one fiddles around finding a Firewire cable and adpaters, a standard USB 3 external hard drive could be done already and be gotten at any local computer or office store.
Also Retina's have SSD's and any data on them is not scrubbable like hard drives can be. Scrubbing SSD's would involve the entire drive being filled and this would wear them out prematurely as they have limited writes to each sector.
If you want to use Migration or Setup Assistant, there is some element of risk involved because your copying the corruption over from the previous machine if it exists. If you know the previous software is fine on the older machine, then you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the whole OS X boot parititon to the external USB drive, then hook this up to the new machine and run Migration/Setup Assistant against it, just like you would in Firewire Target Disk Mode if you don't want to wait to get a Thunderbolt to Firewire adpater from Apple.
If you already have the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter and a cable/adpater to the old Mac, then that's the fastest way.

Fastest way to create a track of Whole notes beginning to end

I am trying to create a tapper track consisting of a series or low G (G2) whole notes.
What is the fastest way of doing this. (they really should be quantized) And, they should also be on beat-one only, throughout an occasional meter change.
In logic you could drag blocks. I realize I could simply loop and then convert loop to real midi...
But.. would this run amuck with meter changes. (Remember I just want notes beginning on beat one, and ONLY beat one.
-Thanks

Where you have sig changes, copy the region, and adjust it's length to fit the meter … you only need 1 region, rather than try to anticipate the myriad of time sigs that may crop up.
I understand exactly what you mean, and it makes a lot of sense. I think it's strictly a question of the pattern of usage. If his style when writing is to frequently throw in some odd time sig that he hasn't used much before and is not likely to use again anytime soon, then what you say seems like the best approach. On the other hand, I'm assuming he's more in a situation where he tends to throw in, say, a measure of 2/4, 3/4 or 5/4 every now and then. And it's just a few sigs like that which he tends to use frequently. Therefore it might be slightly easier to have a few regions like that already prepared, and in a place where I can grab them easily. If I have them marked clearly by name and color, I can feel comfortable that I'm avoiding an error. Whereas if I'm creating them over and over again each time I need one, the snap settings and zoom level are relevant, and it's a little too easy to make a careless mistake, if the phone rings at the wrong time.
Also, he sometimes wants whole notes, and sometimes quarter notes. And maybe there are some other variations like this. This would also be a reason to have some material prepared that I can use over and over again.
But of course if one day I decide to emulate Stockhausen and throw in a bar in 142/8 time, it makes sense to create that only when I need it, because if I create that region in advance it probably won't get used much.
So in practice I could picture him doing it a combination of both ways, because chances are certain sigs are used often and others are used rarely. I think it really depends on the writing style, and the pattern of how the unusual sigs are distributed. And also if he sees an advantage in the marking by color. That could be considered helpful, or it could be considered ugly and distracting.

Best way to create blocks from "No Year" to each year

Hi,
I have a scenario where I need to create blocks for each year based on the data in "No Year", keeping all the other members same.
Years in Year dimension are not fixed as every year it would be added, so I do not want to hard code the years.
I was looking the Datacopy command but am not able to get it using the same.
Following is the extract of the code that I am trying to execute.....
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
SET CREATEBLOCKONEQ ON;
SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH;
FIX(
     [Scenario],
     "No Year",
     "ALDAR PJSC",
     "ICE99999",
     "ARB-Al Bandar","P115101", /* Projects */
     @RELATIVE("Emp013",0), /* Employees*/
     @RELATIVE("EMPG001",0), /* Employee Grade */
     @RELATIVE("D100000",0), /* Department */
     @RELATIVE("Period",0), /* Period - Dense */
     "ADJ120",     /* Adjust - Dense */
     "ST02021300" /* Account - Dense */
     [Version]
          [Version] = [Version] + 0;
ENDFIX
In the above case, I want to use @RELATIVE("Projects",0) which has around 90 members, but it takes huge amount of time. So, I tried having only one Project member initially and it took around 1 minute; then I tried using 2 members from Project dimemsion, then it took 2 minutes...
Let know if there is any way to create blocks......

Why not do a DATACOPY with a substitution variable as the target?
FIX(
[Scenario],
[Version]
"ALDAR PJSC",
"ICE99999",
"ARB-Al Bandar","P115101", /* Projects */
@RELATIVE("Emp013",0), /* Employees*/
@RELATIVE("EMPG001",0), /* Employee Grade */
@RELATIVE("D100000",0), /* Department */
@RELATIVE("Period",0), /* Period - Dense */
"ADJ120", /* Adjust - Dense */
"ST02021300" /* Account - Dense */
/* Copy the data, creating blocks along the way. */
DATACOPY "No Year" TO &NextYear ;
/* Get rid of data, but keep blocks. */
FIX(&NextYear)
CLEARBLOCK ALL ;
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
That would be pretty quick.

Fastest Way to Render PDF from XML

Hi
I have used XSLTC(pre-compiled XSL files) to render PDFs.Parser i have used are the latest from XALAN.
Using FOP 0.20.5
Using JAXP 1.3 i am using the validate framework for validating XMLs against XSDs.
This is the fastest approach which i could possibly come up with for rendering XMLs into PDFs
I am just wondering..with so many API etc available is there any accepted fastest way of Rendering PDFs through XML.
I mean this should also take into account the rendering capability of the transformers.
Any insights would be welcome.
Thanks.

Logging and Capturing? Or Logging and TRANSFERRING? This being P2...I'll assume the latter. It should take about a gig a min to transfer...the same time needed to back up a card.
But you are L&T right from the camera...so I assume that you are not backing up the footage...just importing? Why not back up? That's step #1. Unless you are backing up later. Connected to the computer via USB or Firewire? And the drive is connected to the computer how? USB or Firewire?

Fastest way to create a KeyboardEvent.ENTER submit function.

Hello, a submit button is on the stage next to a text input field. It must be possible to use both mouse and the enter key to press the button.
What's the fastest and easiest way to add an eventListener to the ENTER key, on the button?

So it would have to be something like this? But now the MouseEvent won't work? Do I really have to create a duplicate of the function for both to work? Seems like a hassle..
submitBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,handler);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,handler);
function handler(Event){
if(event.charCode == 13)

Create LOV from OID entries

I do not know how to build a LOV from the available list of user ids in Internet Directory. My intention is to use the Internet Directory as my "system of record" for Personnel and reference the User ID in records in the database. Is there a way to build a materialized view for this? or is there some other mechanism you can point me to?
I am building a slew of data capture forms of which I would like to enter the userid of the logged in user. I know how to use wwctx_api.get_user_id however my user may want to override their name with someone else.
Ergo, my need for an LOV.

I had the same problem
not sure about going to the tables direct, a little messy
have a look a d the OID developers guide there is an example of querying the OID using DBMS_LDAP
