Handling timelines in SSAS

Does anyone know something about timelines in SSAS? Currently looking into timelines in Cubes and I want to slice the data depending on time. So, the dimension is SCD2 (Type II). So I have records with inactive old records and active new records.
Hennie

Hi Hennie,
According to your description, you want to slice the data depending on time, right?
In this case, you need to create a date dimension in your SQL Server Analysis Services database, and then using Excel to interact with a SSAS cube. Excel 2013 introduced a Timeline filter. Specifically designed to visualize dates, the Timeline filter works
similarly to regular slicers which were introduced in Excel 2010. Here are some useful links for you reference.

How can I handle Timeline dynamically....

I want to handle the timeline attribute dynamically....

Is it what you want to do?
var myNode: Node = Group {
        content: [
            Rectangle {
                width: 100
                height: 100
    function doCustomAnim(flag: Boolean) {
        var target = if( flag )0. else 1.;
        var tm = Timeline {
            repeatCount: Timeline.INDEFINITE
            keyFrames: [
                KeyFrame {
                    time: 1s
                    canSkip: true
                    values: [
                        myNode.opacity => target tween Interpolator.LINEAR
        tm.playFromStart();
    }

Scroll Timeline in a Div?

Example: http://www.bartmclaughlin.com/scroll_div/scroll_div_v1.html
Edge project: https://www.yousendit.com/download/elNJc2ZOR0Y1R1BWUThUQw
Now I want to control the timeline of a symbol on the stage using scroll. I’ve posted an example above, with a button that scrolls down the div.
I don’t know how to simultaneously scrub the div’s timeline when scrolling in the div.
This code below (that I got from Tim Jaramillo’s post here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5058756#5058756) will scrub the timeline of the Stage when it’s placed in the Stage.scroll event, but I don’t know how to use it to scrub the timeline of my symbol.
var myCalc = e.currentTarget.scrollTop/(e.currentTarget.scrollHeight-e.currentTarget.clientHeight);
var pos = Math.round( myCalc * sym.getDuration() );
sym.stop(pos);
This question is similar to my question here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6263651#6263651
that was answered by hemanth kumar r. Thank you!

Hi there,
Here is an example:
http://www.timjaramillo.com/code/edge/scroll_div_scrub_timeline/
Here is the source:
www.timjaramillo.com/code/edge/_source/scroll_div_scrub_timeline.zip
Since you aren't using the Stage.scroll method, you shouldn't put your code in that event. I think there was some confusion there.
1) So, start by removing your code from Stage.scroll event.
2) Place the below code on your button click event (calls function on Stage.compositionReady):
sym.getComposition().getStage().onClick();
3) Place the below code on Stage.compositionReady:
// timer constantly runs to check scroll position, and handle timeline scrubbin'
var timerScroll = setInterval(function() {
          sym.scrubTimelineScroll();
}, 10);
// this function is called on click of your button
sym.onClick = function()
     sym.$("parent").animate({scrollTop:500},750);
sym.scrubTimelineScroll = function()
// calulate percent scrolled
          var myCalc = sym.$("parent").scrollTop()/sym.$("parent")[0].scrollHeight;
   // get percent of timeline length
          var pos = Math.round( myCalc * sym.getSymbol('parent').getDuration() );
//scrub timeline
          sym.getSymbol('parent').stop(pos);

So I download perian from apple, (its listed as 1.1.4, but the .dmg is 1.1.2, so I get the 1.1.4 from mac update. When i go to the preference pane, it says that perian is installed but parts are not installed. Nothing happens when i click "Install perian". When I attempt to remove the preference pane completely, it says "The perian preference pane cannot be removed because an error has occurred". When launch the .dmg for 1.1.4, it tells me to double click the "Perian.prefPane" guess what! Nothing happens. It seems that I am quite stuck in a pickle here... any ideas?

Javascript error in event handler event type = timeline

Hi,
I have a small EdgeAnimate projekt with version 1.5.0 and the local export works fine... I must include the package at a CMS and I update all paths to absolute paths and all files are loading...
but I the animation dont play - I see at the javascript console the follow output
javascript error in event handler event type = timeline   edge.1.5.0.min.js:143
Springender Punkt: Rettungswagen - Der springende Punkt
I dont found any solution... :-((

Hi Scott,
I have gone through your shared composition created in older verion of Edge.
If you open the older composition html page in browser, there already have some of the error messages in the console as you mentioned above like
      Javascript error in event handler! Event Type = timeline.
And as you said with the latest Edge, when you upgrade the old composition, some new error messages gets added to the existing ones.
As in the latest Edge, the whole of runtime has been shake-up, some of the attributes has been removed and are added in different way.
Example: To access timelines of a symbol:
     Old way:           sym.timelines['Default Timeline']
     New way:          sym.data[sym.name].timeline
You need to make some modifications in index_edgeActions.js file like:
     1. Search & Replace "timelines['Default Timeline']" with "data[sym.name].timeline"
     2. And in the code taken from EdgeCommons.js, replace "getVariable("symbolSelector")" with "_variables["symbolSelector"]".
Hope, these changes will remove the new JS issues you mentioned.

When creating keyframes on timeline, why does it sometimes add bezier handles and sometimes not?

OK, so one of the key steps in my workflow is to do a pass of manual audio 'normalization'. Yeah, I keep getting the feeling that there might be automated tools that could do a better job, but I'm also listening for content.
But what is driving me a little crazy right now is that sometimes, the ctrl-click adds a normal keyframe and other times, it adds a control handle for a bezier curve. This is especially frequent when doing speed ramps, but it's just so inconsistent that it drives me nuts.
I am working on one timeline and halfway through the sequence, it comes to a clip where it ALWAYS adds bezier curves. And when I try to drag the keyframe down, it grabs the bezier handle instead, creating this bizarre S curve.
I just don't know what I'm doing differently in that segment compared to other places. Hundreds, if not thousands of edits like this and I haven't come across a problem like this.
Undo, and do it again causes the same thing.
But one segment over, creating keyframes doesn't create any bezier handles.
Production Premium CS6

This is helpful as it explains why suddenly there are a few in a row that are bezier.
But it doesn't explain what it is that I did to make them bezier in the first place. It just seems random. I'm just control-clicking on the timeline.
When I get back in the office, I'll check on this a bit more carefully.

SSAS Tabular: Handling time datatypes

Folks,
I have two dimensions related to time in my DW. One is for dates (dDate), and another which is for the time of the day (dTime), with the granularity set to minutes (we don't care for seconds).
Here is the code for creating my dTime table:
CREATE TABLE dTime (
[timekey] smallint, --NOT SURE ABOUT THIS SEQUENCE AS THE PRIMARY KEY ** MUST REVIEW **
[Hour of Day (24)] tinyint, --0-23, military/European time
[Hour of Day (12)] tinyint, --1-12, repeating for AM/PM, for us American types
[Meridien] char(2), --AM/PM
[Minute of Hour] tinyint, --the minute of the hour, reset at the top of each hour. 0-59
[Half Hour] tinyint, --1 or 2, if it is the first or second half of the hour
[Half Hour of Day] tinyint, --1-24, incremented at the top of each half hour for the entire day
[Quarter Hour] tinyint, --1-4, for each quarter hour
[Quarter Hour of Day] tinyint, --1-48, incremented at the tope of each half hour for the entire day
[Time String (24)] char(5), --military/European textual representation
[Time String (12)] char(5), --12 hour clock representation sans AM/PM
[Time Value] time(0), --Time in 00:00:00 T-SQL time datatype
CONSTRAINT PK_dTime_timekey PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (timekey)
GO
For the sake of completion, I have recently added a time(0) field to my table. I am creating an SSAS tabular model based on data from this DW. However, it comes to my attention that SSAS in Tabular mode does not handle time-only fields. Is that correct?
Could someone please advise?
Best Regards,
P.

Multidimensional and Tabular are different.
Tabular has a dictionary for every column, so there is only one data type (datetime) that contain both. If you have a TIME data type in SQL, it is automatically imported in the right way and assigned to a date in the past (1/1/1900 or something similar).
In order to optimize the column, lower the number of unique values. If you don't need seconds, round to the minute.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to move the handle of the timeline window to scroll it forward and backward......?

I want to use keys to control the part of the timeline that I want to see by scrolling the timeline ahead and backwards.....exactly what we do with that handle at the bottom of the timeline......

I don't know a keyboard combination to scroll the timelime left or right, but you can easily do it, either
using the trackpad (two finger drag), the magic mouse (1 finger drag), orthe "Hand" tool. Press H to select it. Click and hold, and drag.

Exporting clips in the timeline with handles

Is there a way to export a selected clip in the timeline with handles? I know you can export all the clips in the timeline with handles using Media Manager, but is there a way to do it with just one clip?
I should ask- is there a quicker way? because I know one way is to drag the clip up to V2 and just manually extend handles to the clip and export it that way. I was hoping for a quicker method. I need to export some self-containted clips that I can reinsert for sending the sequence to Color.

Thanks. Snap is enabled.
I added 30 clips at once from the project bin onto the timeline. So I was really amazed that there were small gaps between some clips.When I tried to repair this (hold CTrl and move the clips to the left) the puzzle began. It happened that moving the clip only three frames to the left, I lost 15 seconds of the total. I discovered this was either a total loss of a clip (not he one I moved, but a clip say three clips to the right) or it was considerably shorter in time.
First I thougt it had to do with my good old dualcore (1.8Ghz), but on the new one (Quad 2.4Ghz) it is still the same.
This is the first time it happens (after 3 completed small projects).
From now on I will only drag one clip at the time to minimize the chance on this behaviour.
But you will understand, I'm not happy...

Timeline: How to handle a still like a clip?

I would like to paint on a clip I generated from a still.
Now I can´t use the OnionSkins and if I paint my brushstroke
is on the whole clip not only the first frame.
Do you know any workaround?
Thanks,

I'm having a problem understanding what you have written I use a PC not a Mac it may be a nomenclature thing.
"I would like to paint on a clip I generated from a still."
It sounds like you have created a clip. What file format is this clip of yours.
"Now I can´t use the OnionSkins"
What are OnionSkins and where did they come from.
"if I paint my brushstroke is on the whole clip not only the first frame."
What in Photoshop did you paint on. I just don't understand what your Photoshop active document looks like. Can you post a screen capture of Photoshop with your active document with Photoshop panels visible in the screen capture.

Handling armature timeline and action control

Hi, im a bit new to flash and i have knowledge in programming langs such as c,c#,xna, java and now i want to learn how to create games and movies using flash, on windows 7. i have been working with flash cs6 for about a week now and i know how to create animations using symbols and bones. i mostly work with armature and my question is after creating all the animations i want, how do i apply them to a movie i can control? for example, to move with keyboard control, when i press the right arrow key the animation between frames 10-50 will be played and the characters location will change? i succeed in making it move by how much i want with symbol, but i dont understand how to control the animation, and i want to know how to use both. i read about how to use AS3, but i dont understand how to combine it with my layers and the frames. if there is a turorial or a source that u think could help me it will be much appreciated... ty in advance

Creae a variable called lastBtnClicked and when you click a button assign a value to that variable that will associate somehow with the button that is clicked--this assignment should be done after you do the codnitional test. The conditional test in the click handling function for one of those two buttons would be something like...
var:lastBtnClicked:String = "";
E26_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displaytick2);
function displaytick2(e:MouseEvent):void {
     if(lastBtnClicked == "E218"){
          // show a tick
     this.OddEven1_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
     lastBtnClicked = "E26";

Handling a function on the timeline vs. button

* never mind * forget this post... it actually does work... I
was calling enabled = false and then enabled = true further down in
the code without realizing it... duh...
this is working...
on(release){
_root.QuitButton.enabled = false;
this is not working...
button script:
on(release){
mDisableQuitButton();
timeline script:
function mDisableQuitButton(){
trace("disable function called");
_root.QuitButton.enabled = false;
the trace is visible, but the '_root.QuitButton' is still
enabled... ???
thanks for any feedback

why not just put _root.QuitButton.enabled = false on the
timeline?

Why does my Web Handler work with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox

I am trying to develop a web page that uses the Simile Timeline (http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline) with data from SQL Server.
In initial testing of my timeline I tested it with Example.xml, a static XML file in the correct format to be event data. I wrote the following in the appropriate place within mytimeline's Javascript: -
var WebHandler = "Example.xml"
tl.loadXML(WebHandler, function (xml, url) { eventSourceFamily.loadXML(xml, url) });
This worked fine with both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I then changed the assignment to
var WebHandler = "GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=" + getControlValue("input", "hdnUser");
so that invoked a web handler that could look up the SQL database and return the XML that I wanted, and wrote this web handler.
This works perfectly with Internet Explorer, but with FireFox the timeline band is blank. Yet when I examine the http traffic with Fiddler2 (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) I see that with either browser there is a response from URL
/GDB_pages/GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=robertb
that returns the XML that it is supposed to.
I have previously used web handlers with Firefox before, with no problems. The Fiddler results conclusively show that the web handler is invoked, and returns the appropriate XML, and this XML is identical to the XML from the static test with Example.xml.
Where do I start looking for answers? I don't even know if this is a Simile problem, a Firefox problem, or an ASP.NET problem.
Thank you, Robert.

Problem solved. The issue: Content Type was not correct.
Visual Studio creates the web handler with dummy code like this: -
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
context.Response.Write("Hello World")
End Sub
I wrote a database query that set a string variable to the XML I wanted: -
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
Dim Outstring as string
' my logic to fill Outstring with XML
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
context.Response.Write(Outstring)
End Sub
This works with Internet Explorer. However it's not strictly correct: to make it work with other browsers as well,
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
should be
context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
It now works with IE, FF, and Chrome, and presumably all others.

Mixed file formats in timeline not always playing nice.

Im using the latest version of premiere pro cc, and one of the great things about PP CC is that you can drop any file format in the timeline without trancoding it right? BUT! sometimes it doesn't play well when you add effects or titles, or adjustment layers. Lets say I have a 1080 DSLR timeline and I have a mix of H.264,ProRes and MP4 footage. When the footage is in the timeline with no effects, the playback is fine, but when I add a transition, a title or a adjustment layer over the footage, when it plays over that section, the footage sometimes stutters, or plays choppy. The footage will pause for a few frames an then continues, BUT only does this when effects are applied. Its behaves as if there is not enough frames to accommodate the transition or effect, which is not the case. But if I delete the clip and drop it into the timeline again in the same spot or I adjust the length of the transition the clip will play with no issues. Why is this happening? And yes ALL footage is rendered and I have powerful enough system to handle the work. Such simple effects should not affect timeline playback.

Hey Jim, with all do respect the symtoms may suggest that, as you stated but I know I have a powerful enough system. Im running a 8 core mac pro, 22gig ram,SSD drives and Radeon 5770 card. I have edited RED footage and Canon C500 footage with dynamic linked After effects on my system with no issues. So im certian its not my system.

Audio out of sync with video in timeline SOLVED

The audio and video are in sync when playing .MP4 video (but may apply to other video files) in the Premiere Pro viewer and Windows Media Player and VLC however, as soon as you drag the clip into the timeline it goes out of sync. Since it took so much time for me to figure out how to get around this problem I wanted to share this, ESPECIALLY For all the people who are semi Adobe Premiere noobs (with no disrespect, I fall into this category) at this and google isn't helping to figure out why this is happening I'll give you the easy fix. For all the people in this forum who are going to ask the detailed information, codecs, etc. I'll give that as well.
FOR THE NOOBS:
All the information I've read online all seems to point that the timeline sometimes doesn't like certain audio contained in the video. It conforms incorrectly, etc. Personally, it doesn't make any sense to me. Forget all that.. you just want to get on with your project.. to heck with the details, you're tired of googling. Here's the solution I found. Extracting the audio from the problematic video file outside of Adobe Premiere. I use avconv, because it's free, open source, and you won't lose audio quality. Then linking that audio with the video in Adobe Premiere.
First if you are using a windows 32 bit computer download avconv here: http://win32.libav.org/win32/
If you are using a windows 64 bit computer download avconv here: http://win32.libav.org/win64/
go to the bottom of the page and click on the newest date version. DISCLAIMER: This is open source software. It's free. I didn't make it so I'm not trying to sell you anything.
It's a zip file so you will need to use winzip or 7zip to uncompress it. You can't just click on the installer. You can uncompress and save the program wherever you want on your computer. Say you didn't pay attention and you automatically saved it in the default spot in your downloads folder. The place you'd find the program might look like this if you're on a 64 bit computer:
C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64 If you're on a 32 bit computer it will probably look like this C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win32
Just make sure you know where it is located and copy it down in notepad. If you can't find it, do a search on your C: drive for avconv .For this forum thread we will assume you have saved avconv in the downloads folder and you're on a 64 bit computer.
Click on the Windows key on your keyboard. Type in Run and then press enter. Type in CMD and press enter. This will open up windows command line. Don't worry, it's not as scary as you think.
Now hold down the Windows key and press E. This will open up a windows explorer window for you to find the video file you are having issues with in Adobe Premiere. Once you have found the file, copy the location of the file. So.. if your file was here: c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.mp4 you would see that at the top of the windows explorer in what's called the address bar. Copy that. Paste it into your notepad.
Now switch back to the windows command line window. Now I'm going to have you type a command into the windows command line but before you do I want you to understand how to type it in.
#1. Do you know the exact path (location on your computer) where you installed avconv?
#2. Did you copy the exact path (location on your computer) where you have your video file?
If so.. type in the command below but change it with the information you have above
C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64\usr\bin\avconv.exe -i "c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.mp4" -vn -qscale 1 "c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.wav"
So let's break it down so you understand and help troubleshoot any issues you may have.
C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64 this is the example location we said we installed avconv. The actual avconv.exe program is located inside that folder so the full path would be this: C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64\usr\bin\avconv.exe
-i just tells avconv what the input file is.
"c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.mp4" is the path (location on your computer) where your video file is.
-vn just tells avconv you only want to extract audio from the video
-qscale 1 just tells avconv you want the best quality
"c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.wav" just tells avconv the path (location on your computer) and the name you want to give the audio file you're taking from the video. This will save the audio wav file to the path (location on your computer) where the problematic video file is saved.
Once you have the audio wav file import it into Adobe Premiere. In the timeline, unlink the audio from the mp4 (or whatever video file you have). Highlight the now unlinked mp4 audio and delete the audio. Then bring your audio wav file you created using avconv and bring it onto the timeline at the start of the video. Now link it. Hopefully that did the trick.
If you have any questions regarding the command line or installing avconv please feel free to comment and ask. I'm pretty good at windows command line and can probably help identify what the issue is.
FOR THE INFORMED PREMIERE PRO USERS:
Here are the details of the problematic video file that I had this issue with. This is from avconv:

I don't know the type make/model video camera that was used or if it was converted before being given to me. This is just what i had to work with and the solution I found to fix it.

if you are using a windows 32 bit computer
Then you won't be using anything above Premiere Pro CS4, and this thread would be in the wrong section.
By the way, the process is significantly easier using something like Xvid4PSP, which can strip out the audio using a fairly easy to understand GUI, as wel as convert those oddball videos into something PP can handle.
