Help with Launchpad Needed please.

Question

Please can some one tell how to stop getting all these updates in my Launchpad, I downloaded some code which got rid of the icons,(Happy) I started to organise them all,  then Microsoft update put 20 icons on it, and they cannot be trashed. Hate This! Its a waist of time using the code to delete if everytime there is an update on something or other, loads of icons appear. Why can I not have control over my own Mac!

Answer 1

I think Ive worked out my own problem...
After I attach the model to the parent with addChild, i then
set its transform to transform(). ie.
theChildModel.transform = transform()
Which solves the problem of the child being offset from the
parent.
(below is a seperate problem, I'm using a sphere primitive,
so theres no issue with possibly the sphere having an popsitional
offset when i attach it as a child. My previous question was in
relation to when I attach the actual head object, which did have an
offset)
But Now, I have a problem with the parent being positioned
incorrectly when I try to use boneplayer to animate it.
I tried to get down to basics, to work out where the position
was first going wrong, and its when i add the bonesPlayer modifier.
These are the simple steps I take...
I copy the Torso model into the 3D world. (this has a bone
structure and a dummy Model in the correct position for head,
hands, feet)
Then I create a sphere primitive.
Then I add the sphere as a child of the Torso's child[1]
dummy Model, which I know is the 'head's dummy Model.
That works fine, the sphere is in the correct 'head'
position.
But then when I add the bonesPlayer modifier to the Torso
Model, the sphere jumps to an incorrect position(about in the
middle of the torso model).
Anyone experienced something like this before? Should I be
doing something first before I add the bonesPlayer modifier?
I have a very trimmed down demo of what Im talking about, if
anyone would like to see the code.
Any help greatly appreciated.
