Help with AS to freeze bitmapdata animation

I am using BitmapData to create an animated flag waving with
Actionscript. This is for an ad, so the coded animation needs to
stop after 30 seconds. I would like to "capture" an image from the
animation and use this for the last frame instead of just removing
the dynamic clip from the stage. Does this make sense?

I have:
this.onEnterFrame = animateSlices;
and:
this.animateSlices = function(){
var amplitude = 100; // amplitude (0-100)
var frequency = 85; // frequency (0-100)
//var waves = sliderW/10; // number of waves (0-100)
var waves = 7.9;
//trace(waves);
var tyw = .18;
var byw = sliderBy/100;
var txw = 0;
var bxw = 0;
var w = Math.PI*frequency;
var k = waves/w;
//etc....
The flash movie is one frame.

  • Help with Premiere Pro freezing after importing MPEG files

    I have
    had some files sent for me to edit which are MPEG I believe.  They will import, but
    as soon as I try and do anything with it, the whole thing freezes for several minutes!  It is unworkable.  I have tried waitin
    g for the audio file to conform.  I have tried rendering the work area.  None of this helps.  If it does play, it lasts for a few seco
    nds with sound playing at what appears to be twice the speed!  I normally wortk with DV files and these are fine.  By the way, the files I am struggling with do play in media player/real player etc.  I cant believe that premiere would not support this format.  Even Movie Maker just about manages it!  When it does freeze, it really freezes!  As in it wont even let me shut down without literally ripping out the power cable!!  Please help with simple English if possible, and sorry if I havent given you specifics that you would need.  But I honmestly dont know as these were just files sent to me on a memory stick. It was filming from a camcorder, but not sure what type.  The thumbnail says MPEG and the properties just says movie file.  It is about 2GB for an hour I think.  Thanks for any help.  My version is Premier Pro 1.5

    Genuinely sorry that I dont know all the technical things that people need
    to know.  I always try to find out when I am asked specifically and told how
    to find them.  I did look at the link, but that just seemed to be a lot of
    stuff about posting ettiquette, nothing about MPEGS.  Perhaps I got the link
    wrong.  All a bit hard for me as I have a visual imp[airment.  Thanks again

  • I need help with a frequently freezing macbook pro late 2011.

    The problem started about three weeks ago. Since then I have been trying to troubleshoot myself. With every page or site I go to, including mac applications, my computer freezes with a spinning wheel every 30 seconds or so. The problem began before I upgraded to mavericks. When that did not fix the problem I tried to erase and reinstall mountain lion in recovery. I was able to erase but was only given the option to reinstall mavericks,which I did. I keep seeing the same things in my console. I am not sure if I have one related problem or multiple problems. Please help.
    Here are the results from my eyre check

  • Help with ibook G4, Freezing and wont turn on :-(

    Can anyone help a fellow MacLady?
    I have an ibook G4, her her a year with no problems,
    2 days ago cursor froze, and I turned off and restarted and am left with a blank screen.
    Every now and then it starts up, all my documents are there, connects to to wireless ok, and last for anything from 5mins to 1hr. Then freezes again.
    Took it to a local PC man who looked and said he doenst really know apples but guessed it was Hard Drive.
    Have no lost NO information from the PC, its all backed up now thankfully as I do occassionaly get access to it, though all my 876 entourage emails have strangely dissapeard. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    Have an appointment with a "Genius" in Bluewater on Wednesday (earliest they can see me), but just wondered if anyone knew what the problem might be and how much I am maybe looking at for a repair? As the PC man told me to buy a new one as this will cost hundreds.
    I work from home so not been able to print or do hardly anything so am running out of time
    Thanks for any help, the PC is here next to me (am on my old Win one, blergh) so if anyone can help or give advice I would really appreciate it,
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi LadyMacB and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First of all see if you can start up inSafe Mode.
    Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup.
    What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode.
    If you are able to start up in Safe Mode and reboot into normal mode this may, in itself, be enough. If not restart in Safe Mode, if you are able, & put your OS X install disk in and restart holding the C key until you see the spinning gear wheel. When you get to the Language screen select your language and select 'Next'.
    At the top of the screen towards the left in the menu bar select Utilities>Disk Utility. Select the Drive name at the very top, then look at the report at the bottom of the window. Amongst everything else you will, hopefully, see S.M.A.R.T. status 'Verified'.
    If it says 'Failing' then your PC bloke is spot on. Be grateful that you were able to get everything backed up. Otherwise proceed…
    Select your OS volume 2nd down in the left hand box, then click the 'Repair Disk' button. Leave Disk Repair to run, If it reports that repairs were made select 'Repair Disk' again until you get the message that the Volume appears to be OK. If DU reports at any time that it could not repair then third party utilities may be necessary or, irrespective of the S.M.A.R.T. status report, your HD may be shot. Try the above for starters and report back.
    Best of luck,
    Adrian

  • Need help with masking a time-lapse animation

    Hi all,
    I'm working on a time-lapse project where I have taken 240 shots of a highway heading into my city, and have erased the cars from the shot, creating the look of an "empty city". This will be one of many sequences like this.
    I got the highway background plate perfect, no cars, and I threw that into my AE comp (CS6), along with the 240 images as a JPEG sequence. I've layered the background plate on top of the image sequence and used a mask to "hide" the cars from the highway.
    The problem is, some of the cars are taller than the roadway (trucks, busses, etc), so they push into the upper part of the frame where the motion is supposed to happen. If I extend the mask upward, you can see a literal bisection between the still plate and the animated JPEGs. If I just move the mask path to hide cars as they go by, the moving mask becomes VERY obvious in the exported QuickTime.
    I've attached a still of my setup and a short video for explanation. If anyone can help me salvage this shot, I'd be very grateful. I do NOT want to have to erase out the tops of the cars in every photo I took

    Dave LaRonde wrote:
    A lot of planning went into those shots. 
    You'll note that in many of them, the things that move -- clouds in the sky, for example -- can easily be masked, and they were shot time-lapse over a short duration of time.  In other shots, the sun wasn't an issue: it was cloudy or it was night.  Others were assembled shooting in real-time with masking, and again, changing light angles would not have been an issue.  
    There are a lot of different techniques used in those things.  It's interesting to note that at this web site, the photographer/editor/VFX practitioner only mentions some of them: particularly the use of clamps instead of tripods.  He doesn't give away many of his tricks.
    I presume you've doped out how the zooms, pans and tilts were done.
    Easily masked is I think where I got tripped up. In the Golden Gate shot, for example, it's pretty much a straigh mask up the center of the shot. In mine, there are curves with lots of buildings right next to the highway. Poor choice of location, perhaps.
    Yes, Ross definitely doesn't share a lot of how-to, mainly just erasing objects and layering in After Effects. How he deals with problems/challenges isn't covered, so that's my learning curve.
    The zooms are easy, you can do that in post if you shoot high enough resolution. The pans were done on a pocket dolly using a remote device that automatically tracked the camera across the scene over time. Couple hundred bucks to rent one, but too advanced for me at this point. I'm more concerned with getting stable, usable shots.

  • Help with slow and freezing MBP

    Hey, So my MBP is running really slow. I got it mid last year and it was fine. I could browse the net while also using Photoshop, and listening to music, no issues what so ever. Now I've noticed in the last couple of months its being stupid slow and apps are freezing(not responding) having me to force quit them.
    If I start browsing the web then try to do anything else really it bogs the system down(no multitasking), the only way to get it back to usable speed is to restart. but I don't want to be doing that every hour or so. 
    Another this is if I have a few different apps open and don't use one for about 10 mins it stops responding and I have to force quit it.  I have tried a few of the "speed you mac up" options and cleared my caches and there's about 100gb of free space on my HD so I'm just not sure what's going on. Are newer updates of every application just more power hungry now? do I need to upgrade my ram?
    Any ideas or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks
    Jeff
    System specs :
    osx v 10.7.4
    Processor 2.2gx i7
    ram 4gb 1333 MHz DDR3
    500g HD( 100ish is free)

    Hi..
    First, try Starting up in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot deletes system caches that may help. And a Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
    If that didn't help, use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary or reintsall the Mac OS X.

  • Helping with internet channels freezing constantly

    I've had bt infinity for around 8 months now. In these 8 months I've had nothing but trouble with it.
    The first two weeks the engineer installed faulty and the incorrect open reach white box and bt home hub. When it finally got sorted, I've had more and more problems. I'm getting sick and tired of having to call up an go through the same steps every time, even though I tell them I've already done that.. My youview box is the worst.
    I can handle the internet dropping from time to time on my iPhone and iPad but the internet channels are unwatchable. I have the sky movies package and the extra + channels.. They freeze and break up every 3-5 minutes, it's worse when the weathers bad.. But it's currently sunny and decent weather so I don't understand why it's doing what it's doing.
    I'm seriously considering going to sky because I never have this problem at my sisters, she has sky all the packages an her internet is brilliant, never drops! I've trouble shooted every thing.. Every single one that's available. Googling the problem shown me I'm not the only one. I'm constantly restarting and rebooting my open reach box, bt home hub and the youview. Everything's all up to date according to the advanced settings on both routers and the youview.
    Can someone please give me back my sanity? I'm considering sky so much, even more so now. I've also complained and was not offered refunds or reductions. I'm paying £26 a month for my sky movies which I can't watch, and £13 ish for the extra channels. I've got the sky go app so i can get them on there when I'm not using my wifi. But it's beyond annoying now, can't watch nothing

    Hi
    Why are you paying £26 for Sky Movies? They cost £16 per month: http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/tv/​extra-channels 
    Also the weather shouldn't affect your extra internet channels or broadband, but of course a poor broadband connection will cause problems with the channels.
    How have you connected the YouView box to the Hub? Are you using a direct cable connection or homeplugs/powerlne adapters? 

  • Help with Citrix Receiver Freezes

    I have my first ever iMac, I have to use Citrix Receiver to access my work server. I keep getting screen freezes in Citrix and if in the Mac desktop and cannot get back to the desktop or be able to quit any applications or safely shut down so am having to turn off power by the power button. How do I stop this as I am sure this could damage my new iMac?

    You might try running the test CD provided by apple when you purchased your laptop and see what, if any, problems might be reported. Are you running any app's such as haxies that modify the kernal: check system preferences on the last pane call Other. If so you may want to remove these items using a find search from the File menu. Do you have any fonts other than suplied by apple in the OS.

  • Help with Repeating actions InDesign CS5 animation/buttons

    I have an interactive catalog that I'm exporting out as a swf. I have one button on one of the catalog pages to where you click on it a movie plays and a "close" button is shown. When I click on the close button the dissappear animation is called on both the movie and the close button.  However, when I go to repeat the actions by clicking on the original button that is supposed to play the movie and show the close button, I can only hear the sound but can't see the movie or my close button. If I go to another page of the catalog and come back it performs properly. How do I work around/fix this? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • Problem with Desktop Skype freezing, please help

    2 days ago, Dec. 23rd, I started up Skype as usual, but after about a minute, it froze, soon becoming "not responding". I opened Task Manager to try to end it manually, but Task Manager quickly became "not responding" as well, as did Chrome when I opened it when I tried to search for a solution. This had never happened before, and since has only happened when I am trying to use Skype for Desktop. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, switching to an older version, and running an antivirus scan to see if a virus might be causing the problem, but none of this helped, and it still freezes itself along with all my other programs, forcing me to restart my computer if I want to be able to use it. I have been using Windows 8 Skype instead today, with no problems, but Skype for Desktop is more convenient for me, and I would very much appreciate it if someone would please help me.
    Also, I don't know if this might be related to the problem, but today I had Task Manager open before starting Skype for Desktop, hoping I could end it before it caused everything to freeze (I couldn't), I was able to see before it froze that Skype was using 100% of my Disk.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
    Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

  • Need help with computer freezing up.

    I seem to be having some trouble with my computer freezing up from time to time. Usually it's when I'm using the program Transmission or Toast Titanium. I can't access the applications files, the Dock icons or do any force quit on the programs. Also I can't do a restart or shut down. I have tried using the keystrokes to shut down and restart, but as well this doesn't work. Everything gets frozen. The only way I can stop the freeze is to manually turn the computer off by the on/off button in the back of the computer. I have heard it is really bad to do so. What else could I do when the computer is frozen like this to get it unstuck? Also being that this has happened a few times, how do I correct the programs so that it won't keep happening?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    When you run a program in Mac it loads the necessary information to the RAM and access it from there. If other programs are running in the computer along with the Toast Titanium then there is a possibility of the memory unable to address all the requirements. The best way is to keep an eye on the memory usage from Activity monitor when you start using the Toast next time.
    While trying to burn the data into a CD the files are first loaded into the memory so that it will be written to the disk. So what I will suggest is to close all the applications and wait for a reasonable amount of time to see whether the computer frees up memory and starts to write onto the disk.
    If not, you will also need to free up some hard drive space.
    Also in the ~/Library/Logs/Crash Reporter look for crash files and see what is causing the issue.
    Shutting down the computer with the Power on/off button is not that good however if nothing else is working, you have no choice other than that.
    Hope that helps....
    I wanted to add few more tips.

  • Photoshop is split-screening & freezing causing me to lose work? "Support" did not help with this.

    I have Photoshop CS5 and the problem started about a week ago.
    I opened an image, got 3/4s of the way through it, and the computer screen "split into two" and froze. Causing me to shut down my computer, entirely, and lose an hour and half's worth of work. I shut my computer down, completely and did a full system reboot, and tried again. This time I didn't even get a full step into editing before the same thing occured.
    Worried, I had contacted Apple Support because I thought it might have been something with the video card. After putting me through various tests, all of which turned up clean, Apple said it was something that showed it wasn't with Mac, it was with CS5 itself (or at least with Adobe's Photoshop application). They told me to try calling Adobe. However, they only have certain hours, so I tried chat support - which was hysterical, becuase they kept sending me over here to the forums. (Apple's support takes much better care of their customers, I've noticed, at least when it comes to full "chat support".) Anyways, I had given this computer a break for a day or two, completely shut off. Today, I turned it on, and the same thing happened. Opened a .Raw image, got it into the Photoshop main screen, got a step into editing, had the computer screen split again, and freeze.
    I would greatly appreciate anyone's help with this subject. I have been unable to work for about a week, which is completely devastating to someone who runs their own business. Advice, or thoughts?

    You say it only happens when you work on raw.  Is this only when you’re using the Camera Raw plug-in?  If you work on a small JPG in the ACR plug-in, does it happen? 
    Have you tried turning off the OpenGL acceleration in PS / Preferences / Performance as Mylenium suggested? 
    I would agree it sounds like a video hardware failure, due to it locking up your computer.   Do you have a way to photograph and share what the screen looks like when it is locked up?

  • I need help with a button animation!

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help with a simple-looking problem which
    nonetheless has me stumped!
    I have a feeling that I've missed something obvious.
    I've created a movie clip to act as a button (I've called it
    "abs_button") and placed it on the stage.
    My main movie has one frame.
    Within the "abs_button" movie clip there are 5 layers.
    Labels, actions, default button state, rollover state and rollout
    state.
    Technically, default button state, rollover state and rollout
    state could be on the same layer as they don't overlap, but I've
    given each animation its own layer for clarity.
    FRAME 01.
    Default button state is one frame with a graphic of the
    button. Just a label at the start ("abs_up") and a "stop();" action
    at the end.
    FRAME 02 to 31.
    Rollover state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
    ("abs_over"), "stop()"; action at the end.
    FRAME 32 to 62.
    Rollout state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
    ("abs_out"), "stop()"; action at the end.
    All animations were achieved with tweens.
    My initial "abs_button" code:
    on (release) {
    getURL("targetPage.htm", "_self");
    on (rollOver) {
    gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_over");
    on (rollOut) {
    gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_out");
    As it stands, the animation jumps to frame 1 of "abs_out" on
    rollout.
    I need the "abs_over" animation to always play through to the
    end, as the "abs_out" is "abs_over" in reverse (i.e. image grows
    large on rollover and shrinks again on rollout.
    I've tried for 2 days to solve this, but I clearly need help.
    My experiments with variables simply didn't work.
    I would be grateful if someone could tell me where I'm going
    wrong!
    Thanks,
    Andy

    use this:
    on (rollOver) {
    gotoAndPlay("abs_over");
    Since the code is attached directly to the movieclip, you
    don't have to
    identify the clip. A gotoAndPlay() function takes a frame
    number or a
    frame label name as its argument, never the name of the clip
    that
    contains the frame number or name.
