Graphics help - screenfull of scrolling characters

I need a graphic for my timeline that shows the screen filling up with characters. It doesn't have to be crazy raining characters like in "The Matrix". Just a bunch of code or other english letters filling the screen.
Any help?
Thanks!

Not at my machine right now-- does the typewriter text effect still exist? I remember using it once back in v3. Less is more here. Try text on different layers at different sizes, moving, growing shrinking. You can also apply timecode generator filters with different start times, staggered around. It'll take some playing with to get what you're after. Also dive into livetype and see what you can find there.
Have fun.

  • Issue with graphics tearing on thumb scroll in Flex 3

    We are seeing some off issues with graphics (one using the charting package and the other using degrafa) tearing on thumb scrolling in a large Flex 3 app.  It's very hard to reproduce on OSX with the latest versions of Safari and Firefox, but it shows almost immediately when you run the app on Windows or Linux (regardless of the browser).  I took one of the pieces out of the app and put it into a very simple testbed app and can't get the problem to show on Windows (i was hoping to isolate the issue in a smaller test case, but no such luck).
    So, ii've got a few idea's on how to work around the issue, but i was wondering if anyone else has seen this type of problem before?
    Problem:   
         - graphics tear on thumb scroll
         - doesn't happen if you click in the track or use the arrows
         - one view is using the charting package, the other view is using degrafa
    Thanks for any comments or suggestions...

  • Is it possible to change the search help to have Scroll capability instea

    I am using ABAP Webdynpro.  is it possible to change the search help to have Scroll capability instead of Next Page/Next line/Last line.  We would rather use a search help to do this as the user wants to have their own personal value list.

    Found the answer on SDN

  • Can someone please help me color in characters?

    I have this picture so far. I need help filling in the characters with color.

    You can also use the Blob Brush Tool to fill in color. It's mentioned towards the end of the video link:
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/csinsider-design/illustrator-a-closer-look-at-the-variable-width -tool-for-illustration/
    Just make sure to either "Send to Back" the color shape or draw it in a layer underneath your line drawings. So that you can keep your drawing in front.

  • Help with smooth scrolling (masked movie clip)

    Ok, I really need help here, and I'll be very grateful for
    help before Monday.
    Someone has made a movie with a different set of text on each
    frame, the text goes out of the viewable area.
    I have been asked to make these frames appear in a pop-up on
    another flash and be scrollable.
    i thought this would be easy...just cut and paste them into a
    movie clip, then using a mask to hide the rest of the text.
    However, it is going painstakingly slow.
    Seems to be a performance issue, but it might be my code.
    Any help with the code, or optimisation elsewhere would be
    helpfully.
    Heres a simplified version of the flash;
    www.darkflame.co.uk/flashwork/Flash_popuptest.fla
    Code for the scrolling;
    _global.MoveUp = function(text) {
    _root.ITproduct.IT_productlist._y =
    _root.ITproduct.IT_productlist._y+6;
    updateAfterEvent();
    //trace('press');
    Called and stopped by;
    on (press){
    //this._parent.IT_productlist._y =
    this._parent.IT_productlist._y +10;
    //_global.scrollon = "yes";
    clearInterval(IntervalID);
    IntervalID = setInterval(MoveUp,100);
    updateAfterEvent()
    //updateAfterEvent();
    //MoveUp();
    //scroll on
    on (release) {
    //this._parent.IT_productlist._y =
    this._parent.IT_productlist._y +10;
    clearInterval(IntervalID);
    updateAfterEvent();
    //scroll off
    which is linked to a button.
    I dont know if this is a actionscript problem, or the way the
    page is made, or both.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Thomas Wrobel

    you have extraneous graphics on-stage that are slowing the
    scrolling (and even causing problems in the authoring environment).
    here's your file with those graphics removed:

  • Mac osx lion screen texts and graphics jitter/flicker during scrolling

    Hello,
    I have recently upgrade my macbook (late 2008, the only aluminum Macbook model) to OSX Lion, and the screen scrolling is causing fatigue to my eyes as the texts and graphics jitter/flicker even at the slowest scrolling speed setting. This problem causes serious discomfort to reading long text on the screen that requires scrolling.
    Have anyone experienced this problem? Is there away to make the text scroll smoothly without jitters?
    Thanks

    HI PAT:
    HAPPENING to anyone that has the old Acrylic Cinema displays that use the ACD-DVI adapter.
    unplugging the adapter and replugging solves the issue bu it only last for one session if you reboot the flickering comes back so you have to unplug and replug again. is a Pain in the B.
    lot of people complaining about it. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16357859#16357859http://
    Hope this helps

         JScrollPane amortScroll = new JScrollPane(amortBox);The argument passed to a JScrollPane constructor specifies what's inside the scroll pane. Here, it seems like you're trying to create a scroll pane that displays a JLabel.
    Also, I'm not sure what you're trying to do here:
    amortScroll(showAmort);I don't see a method named "amortScroll".
    You need to make a JTextArea, pass that into the JScrollPane's constructor, and add the JScrollPane to your frame.

  • Need help with smooth scrolling of a sprite

    Hi All,
    Something that i have had many problems over the years with
    is creating the same nice smooth scrolling effect that i see on
    many sites (my scrolling always appears jerky in AS2 even when done
    on a movieClip with a high framerate - with onEnterFrame updates).
    At the moment i am building my first AS3 site, and want to
    use it as an opportunity to "do things right".
    So far i have a very simple setup that is scrolling a sprite
    that contains a series of loaded images based on the position of a
    scrollbar. As one would expect from something this simple - it is
    rather jerky.
    I tried a number of variations of using a Tween to do the
    scroll, and kill/update that tween when the mouse moves again.
    However in all cases the results were not good (multiple tweens
    seemed to still be active - so killing the tween wasn't working).
    So clearly i am doing something wrong.
    I have searched extensively, but have not come across any
    examples that seem appropriate (some predefined components - but
    that does not help me understand the fundamentals) . I have seen
    some examples that register a timer, and manually calculate the
    offset for each frame, is this the correct approach?
    Below is my existing simple (jerky) implementation.
    All help to understand how to make this scrolling smooth
    would be hugely appreciated.
    One more thing to add incase it is relevant, is that the
    contents of the Sprite are a series of jpg images loaded with the
    Loader class (although i plan on switching to using the BulkLoader
    class created by a developer in the AS3 community).

    nope. the approach for the smoothest tween would be to:
    1. initialize your parameters
    2. create your timer.
    3. add your timer's listener method when needed (when your
    slider is clicked).
    4. in your timer's listener function repeatedly poll the
    slider's position and update your sprite using the parameters
    determined in 1.
    5. remove your listener when the slider is released.

  • Help: Problem with scrolling my html items and placed objects they keep cutting through my top menu

    Basically whenever i place an html item in my Muse site or an object I encounter a problem when scrolling down past that object in the preview. I have a horizontal menu bar that sits on the top of my site and whenever I scroll down the html items and objects
    cut through my menu. Is there any way to rectify this? - i've tried pinning objects but can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    So you have a pinned Menu in the Master page but is being overlayed by the objects in page when you scroll down? If that is the case, select the Menu in the Master, right click on it and Move To Master Foreground.
    Thanks,

  • Need help in solving garbled characters in the translated es-mx applicaiton

    I followed the APEX Globalizations instructions to translate an application from es-us language to es-mx language. After I uploaded, applied, and published the translated file, the es-mx application was displayed based on my browser's language setting. However, some translated texts with special characters are garbled. For example, the "Number" is translated into "Número", but it is displayed as "N�mero".
    After our DBA has verified that the PlsqlNLSLanguage is set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8 in the APEX DAD configuration file, the garbled characters still appear in es-mx application.
    Any help or suggestion on how to tackle this inproper translation issue is greatly appreciated.

    With your suggestion, it triggered me to check the Encoding setting on my Internet Explorer which was set to Western European. After I changed my Encoding setting to Auto Select, all translated texts are displayed in es-mx lanaguge correctly.
    Thanks for your suggestion.

  • K550 won't print graphics - Help!

    Working great till one day suddenly stopped printing graphics.  Prints text copy fine.  Photos, clip art, etc missing from print.  Ran Diagnostics - okay; ran Configuration page - okay.   Laptop prints fine when connected to another printer,  which eliminated a 'computer' issue; definately a printer setting problem.   Help!!  I'm out of warranty :-(

    As near as I can tell, the printer is not the problem. I have tried three different printers, all with the most up-to-date drivers, and even tried Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, which should bypass all of the above. The graphic elements that worked perfectly in my previous system simply disappear in Snow Leopard. My workaround is to send them to an "older" Mac NOT running Snow Leopard, then convert them to PDF files, then print from Snow Leopard, and all is well. Absolutely frosted! I have publishing deadlines to meet!

  • Can't change background to graphics - help please?

    Have trawled the help topics but I've been unsuccessful. I'm importing a tif or a jpeg and am getting it onto the browser but then I want to alter the background so the graphic blends in better.
    Any suggestions on the best way please?
    Thanks

    Hi Tom. Say I have a jpeg of a flag on a white background. You see it against the black FCE generates each time. To get the flag to "float" in white I need to change the background in the browser to white.

  • Registering The iPhone 3G HELP! Horizontal Scroll Bar!

    iTunes tells me that i have to regiser my iPhone3G, so i do and i get to the iPhone Software License Agreement.. i scroll to the bottom and it only gives me three things to click. a box (The Box that states "I have read and agree..."), another box that says Cancel, and another that says Save. Obviously, a button is missing, and it is on the far right, but iTunes somehow, does not stretch that far!!! it doesn't make sense, but it doesn't have a horizontal Scroll Bar (THE BAR THAT MOVES THE SCREEN LEFT TO RIGHT). please help. i've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7.7 twice already. and there's still no horizontal scroll bar!
    i heard i have to change the screen resolution... will that work??

    I am having the same issue. Went to the Apple Store in Boston and the Genius Bar escalated the problem to the Engineers and they could not even solve it. They needed me to send them an image of the issue. I went to another Apple store and the Genius there had much better problem solving skills. He used his own critical thinking and discovered that the horizontal scroll bar sits at the same height. The height is exactly where the split keyboard ends. If you take screen shots and compare...you will find they are all at the same height. He thinks since the keyboard is a new feature they havent worked out the problems yet...and we will have to wait for the update.
    Ever since Steve Jobs has been gone the call to response for issues is getting increasing slower and slower. New products continue to roll out but they all have problems and bugs. Take Maps for instance...they still have not fixed all the issues (even with this 6.0.1 update). The Ipad mini I spend 700$ for and it is such a faulty product. For what I spent I would have thought I would have gotten a great product. I have all Apple products...phone, desktop, laptop, Ipad original, and Mini...but they have done me wrong over and over. It may take months for them to roll out the fix the way the compnay has been operating under Cook.
    When will the fix come....I do not know... best of luck!

  • Pls help - Displaying Simplified Chinese characters

    Hi all,
    I am using Servlet to generate HTML.
    When I use setContentType="charset=big5" and out.println(" . . . ."); with Big-5 Traditional Chinese characters, everything is fine.
    However, when I use setContentType="charset=gb2312" and out.println(" . . . ."); with GB2312 Simplified Chinese characters, everything is trash with some ??????.
    The internet browser in both cases can correctly set to the appropriate character set, that is, in the 1st case it is big5 and in the 2nd case it is gb2312.
    Pls help

    It should be because the font provided cannot handle the characters. Java only ever sprays question marks or rectangles at you if the font you're using is incapable of displaying what you're trying to show.
    I'd imagine that the system's default font is capable of displaying Big5 Chinese characters quite happily if it's working on the page. The problem will come when you switch the encoding of the page and the characters within it. The same default font obviously can't display GBK stuff. So switching the font (probably through the use of <FONT face=""> tags) might do the trick.
    Hope that helps!

  • Help with arrays & counting characters in arrays

    I am trying to figure out how to count how many times each characters appears in the array (but I have to do all the counts at once).
    I am supposed to store the counts in an int[] array of 27 elements (26 letters & an extra count for everything else). How would I go about declaring the array, allocating it, & then setting each of the 27 elements zero?
    Thanks so much the help.
    public class CharCount {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              new CharCount().process();
         public void process() {
             // This declares an array of char and then assigns it a value.  The value comes from another one
             // of my secret programs.
             char[] countThese = Lab8.simple();
             printChars(countThese);
             for (int count =0; count < countThese.length; count++) {
              System.out.println(countThese[count]);
        // This method should print the characters in the array called print, one-by-one
        // Use a println ONLY after all the chars have been printed.
        public void printChars(char[] print) {
        public int charToInt(char ch) {
         if (ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z')
             return ch - 'A';
         else if (ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'z')
             return ch - 'a';
         else return 26;
    }

    I take it the charToInt method was given to you. If you don't know what it does, it will give you a value from 0 to 26 depending on what char you pass as a parameter. So if you pass an 'a' or an 'A' it will return 0, 25 for 'z' or 'Z' and 26 for anything else. You use this value to access an array an increment the value (the number of times that letter has occured.
    int value = charToInt('a');
    arr[value]++;
    System.out.println("Number of a's = " + arr[0]);
