Help with loading pictures in my organizer from elements 9 trial version
I downloaded Trial Version of elements 9 last thursday. Since then I am trying to get someone at Adobe to tell me why, when I open Organizer there are NO pictures from my Pictures Albums. No help from them because they do NOT service "trail versions" WOW. cannot believe that. Someone please help. I do get an error message when I open through the "download" page. it says "cannot open because my file is the wrong type? do not understand. I previously had elements 7 on board but uninstalled it after I lost 1000 pictures and spent 3 months trying to get info as to "where are they" no one could help. So, did I do something wrong or is existing elements hiding in my hard drive stopping me from installing 9 Help need more info ie: specific file path etc. I will provide. Thank you
Hanna,
Some considerations with the trial of CS5: obviously, only 30 days of usage, nothing MPEG-2 is supported, and many other flavors of MPEG are also not supported. This means that you will NOT be able to ingest anything MPEG-2, likely nothing AVCHD, or similar, and you will NOT be able to use Encore for any DVD/BD authoring in the trial. Though there is no watermark, the CS5 trial is very, very limited, and one can really only edit DV-AVI, and Export to DV-AVI, or very similar.
Neale's suggestion is the best solution, IMHO. There are also freeware editors, like Womble, that might work for you, but there is a learning curve, due to the GUI.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I load pictures onto my iPad2 from my PC?
I do not have an Apple Store close by and wish I could get someone to sit with me and help me get better acquainted with my iPad2. I have several questions.
1. Can I load pictures onto my iPad2 from my PC?
2 I don't know how much 3G to get.
3. When is the OS5 coming out and will I be able to get rid of my PC?
4. Since Apple does not recognize flash player, is there something else? I cannot do several things (Facebook games, some banking, etc) because of no flash player.
Sorry for all the questions but I don't have anyone to ask. Thanks for your help.1. Yes. Connect to iTunes. Click your iPad2 in the devices tab on the left. Select the photos tab. Enable photo syncing (should be a check box in the top left), and then choose which folders to sync.
2. Depends on your data usage and if you have your own home wifi network. If the only way you'll connect to the internet is through your iPads 3G, and you don't have a home network that it will connect to, then I'd go for the higher tier plan as 250mb will not get you far. If you spend time at home and have a home wifi network then 250mb might be enough as you would only use it when you're out and about.
3. iOS is coming out in September. Once you update it you could theoretically get rid of your PC in so much as an iPad on iOS5 doesn't "need" a computer for anything exactly. Again, depends on your home internet situation as updates will happen over Wifi but I don't think they'll happen over 3G.
4. Many facebook games have app store versions which you download from the app store, sign in with your facebook details and can use that way (farmville, etc). Most banks have an iPad/iPhone friendly website so even if the PC version has flash elements, you'll likely find when you visit them on your iOS device it no longer serves you flash content. For example YouTube is flash by default, but if you visit on an iPad it serves the appropriate HTML5 content. My bank has a fantastic iPhone app so I don't even need to use the website anymore - do some research. For flash video, in the event the website is *only* flash based you can use an app such as the Skyfire web browser (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skyfire-web-browser/id384941497?mt=8) to get around it. Personally, it very rarely comes up.
Hope that helps -

How do I get video clips into Organizer from Elements?
I have broken my raw video into pieces in elements but can't get it to import into organizer.
I am using Elements 11 Trial.The video is actually a football highlight film for our son and came to us as a single mp4 file with about 60 plays of video on it.
What I am trying to do is
1) Cut it down into 60 individual videos (which I did and currently have in my project).
2) Save the pieces off as individual video clips.
3) Get the ability to rank/rate each video and select the 25 or so that will make up the final video.
4) Polish/edit those that make the grade.
5) Organize and assemble.
Does this make sense?

I am using Elements 11 Trial.Place the "Work Area Bars" (located on the time line) so that only a "piece" is covered. Then "Share" to a computer file. Pick a file type that suits your needs. Be sure to check the box titled "Share WorkArea Bar Only". Unfortunately, the clip piece will be re-encoded. PrE11 will do that well, but not perfect because any encoding always seems to loose a little. You did not say what camera you are using. The software that came with my Sony and Panasonic camcorders is much better for splitting clips into smaller clips. Some sort of magic is in them where re-encoding does not take place. The pieces have the same picture quality as the original. So, when I do what you want, I break it into pieces with the camcorder software, the put the video together in PrE with all the creative tools it offers. Bill

i'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!
Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

File + Edit menus missing from PSE9 trial version
I installed the trial version of PSE9 and am having a fundamental problem with the Organizer. Various functions require me to access File or Edit menus which, according to the Help file, should be at the top of the screen but they are nowhere to be found.
For example, I want to Move files offline to a CD or DVD. To do that - according to the Help facility - I have to start by clicking on File - Move, but nowhere can I find this "File".
Does anyone here know whether these menus are missing from the trial version of the Organizer ? Or are they hidden somewhere ?Thanks very much.
When forwarding this to the product management you might mention that this problem was encountered on a Window 7 Ultimate 64-bit system. I mention this because I have discovered the the "Ultimate" and 64-bit versions sometimes behave significantly differently from the other versions of Windows 7. In particular, some of my recently-purchased software has been unable to deal with the 64-bits, possibly because parts of them were written 10 years ago albeit purchased recently. -
Fonts went missing when I upgraded from the trial version (mac)
I'd been happily working away in a file using ID CC with no problems whatsoever when my trial period expired. A couple of days later, I purchased a subscription, then opened ID back up and opened up the exact same file.
When I reopened the file, it told me that all my fonts were missing, and it was going to replace them with Minion Pro (no thanks).
I checked fontbook and confirmed that those fonts are, in fact, all installed on my computer. (Even though I was sure they were because I'd been successfully using them shortly before.) I tried uninstalling and reinstalling them. I also tried closing and reopening the document, and shutting down the program, as well as shutting down my computer. Nothing has made any difference. Trying to find the fonts in preflight hasn't helped at all.
The problem is not that my fonts aren't installed, it's that ID stopped recognizing them, even though they are installed, when I switched from the trial version to a subscription.
I haven't found anyone else with quite this same problem.
Any ideas?I meant do you have a third-party font manager, and I see the answer is no.
And the font's don't appear inthe font list, or Find Font, at all?
If that's the case I might sayt it's time to uninstall, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall. -
PrE 12. How to deal with black screen "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements trial version"?
I'm really considering purchasing PrE 12 and would like to try it out. (I have another video editing software and would like to try this one.)
When I add video, I get a black screen "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements trial version". When I hit play, I can hear audio, but I don't get any video (just the black screen). Is there a work around, a setting that I can change, or is the trial version supposed to show the black screen?

Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version
Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version which I have now downloaded.
The trial version is named "Final Cut Pro Trial" and the App Store version is called "Final Cut Pro".
So, they can both be in the Applications folder at the same time, but only one can be open/launched at a time.
If, for some reason, your trial is older (like version 10.0.4) that your newly purchased FCPX (should be 10.0.5), and you do not click Update to your events/Projects, they will NOT show in the bought version!
Open the licensed FCPX and make sure it does update your things, in case it asks for it! -
suddenly my purchased copy of PS CS6 is not loading. Instead I am getting a trial version of cs6 extended. What is going on? Very annoying when a password is required.

Need help with finding picture size
ok here is my problem i have this sphere and it works great except when you click the thumbnails to display the picture, depending on the size of the picture, the pictures can get pushed to far over, and i understand why. the x and y coord never change. now my idea is to get the size of picture and use that to adjust the x-coord accordingly. my question is. how do i get the picture size? if i can. do the pictures have to be in the fla?
heres code:
The radius of the sphere, 'rad'. You can change it if you wish
especially if you use thumbnails of a different size than our thumbnails.
var rad:Number=380;
The position of 'board' that will be defined later. 'board' is the main
container containing the sphere and the black background
that reponds to mouse actions.
var posX:Number=stage.stageWidth/2;
var posY:Number=stage.stageHeight/2;
The size of thumbnails. Change the values to reflect the size of your
images.
var thumbWidth:Number=70;
var thumbHeight:Number=53;
The thumbnail images have been imported to the Library and linked to AS3
under the names 'Small1', 'Small2',....,'Small46'. The corresponding
Bitmap objects will be stored in the array 'thumbsArray'.
var thumbsArray:Array=[];
The addresses of the images corresponding to the thumbnails are stored
in 'picsArray'. The images will be loaded at runtime when the user
clicks on each thumbnail.
var picsArray:Array=[];
The Bitmap object corresponding to each thumbnail will be placed
in a Sprite, holdersArray[i][j], as its child. We have to do this
to make thumbnails responsive to mouse clicks.
var holdersArray:Array=[];
In order to depth-sort images on the sphere, we will need to keep
track of their midpoints and the position of each midpoint in 3D.
The midpoints will be stored in 'midsArray'.
var midsArray:Array=[];
The only part of our spherical menu that is hard-wired (and a bit harder
to customize) is the number of thumbnails and their placement on the sphere.
We have 46 thumbnails placed along 7 horizontal 'circles' on the sphere.
The 'jLen' vector describes the number of thumbnails on each circle.
The first 'circle' is the north pole and contains 1 image; the second
is the circle corresponding to the vertical angle of 30 degrees
from the negative y axis. That circle contains 6 images. The next one,
at 60 degree of vertical displacement contains 10 images;
the one after that, at 90 degrees from the negative y axis, is the equador
of the sphere and contains 12 images. Past that, we go symmetrically:
10, 6, and 1 image at the south pole.
All our arrays are organized to reflect that placement of thumbnails.
For example, thumbsArray is an array of arrays, thumbsArray[i], where
i corresponds to the number of each circle. thumbsArray[i][j] is the
j-th image on the i-th of the seven circles.
var jLen:Vector.<Number>=new Vector.<Number>();
jLen=Vector.<Number>([1,6,10,12,10,6,1]);
We use the almost standard parametrization of a sphere:
phi is the vertical angle measured from the vertical axis
pointing upwards (in Flash's coordinate system this is the negative
y-axis), theta is the horizontal angle measured from the
horizontal axis pointing away from the screen; that is,
the negative z-axis. phi changes from 0 to 90 degrees,
theta from 0 to 360 degrees. For each circle, phi is constant:
0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180. 'thetaStep' contains the angular
distances between thumbnails on each circle. Except
for the north and the south pole, for each circle
the angular distance between thumbnails equals to 360 divided
by the number of thumbnails on the circle.
var thetaStep:Vector.<Number>=new Vector.<Number>();
thetaStep=Vector.<Number>([0,60,36,30,36,60,0]);
//The vertical angle between circles.
var phiStep:Number=30;
To make images tangent to the sphere, we need to tilt them
vertically and horizontally. Horizontal tilt is always
equal to the theta angle of the midpoint
of the image and changes along each circle;
the vertical tilt is based on the values
of phi and is constant for each circle of thumbnails.
var phiTilt:Vector.<Number>=new Vector.<Number>();
phiTilt=Vector.<Number>([-90,-60,-30,0,30,60,90]);
//The next four variables are related to auto-rotation
//and rotation by the user.
var autoOn:Boolean=true;
var manualOn:Boolean=false;
var prevX:Number;
var prevY:Number;
//The amount of perpective distortion. Higher values give more distortion.
//Values have to be between 0 and 180 as they correspond to the view angle.
this.transform.perspectiveProjection.fieldOfView=70;
//We define and position the container 'board'.
var board:Sprite=new Sprite();
this.addChild(board);
board.x=posX;
board.y=posY;
//We call the function that draws the border and the background
//of 'board'.
drawBoard();
//Settings for our dynamic text boxes present on the Stage.
infoBox.mouseEnabled=false;
infoBox.wordWrap=true;
infoBox.text="";
loadBox.mouseEnabled=false;
loadBox.wordWrap=true;
loadBox.text="";
loadBox.visible=false;
When the user double-clicks on a thumbnail, the corresponding image
will be loaded into 'loader' - an instance of the Loader class.
'loader' is a child of the Sprite, 'photoHolder', which is a child
of the MainTimeline.
var photoHolder:Sprite=new Sprite();
this.addChild(photoHolder);
photoHolder.x=200;
photoHolder.y=100;
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
photoHolder.addChild(loader);
photoHolder.visible=false;
We will literally 'build' a shere of thumbnails by positioning
them in a Sprite called 'spSphere'. The moment we assign
any of the 3D properties to 'spSphere', for example a value for the z coordinate,
spSphere becomes a 3D container. That means we can place elements in it
in 3D. We will also be able to apply 3D methods to 'spSphere', e.g. rotations.
When 'spSphere' becomes a 3D display object, it has transfrom.matrix3D property.
The latter property holds all the information about the current 3D state
of 'spSphere'.
var spSphere:Sprite=new Sprite();
board.addChild(spSphere);
spSphere.x=0;
spSphere.y=0;
//We move 'spSphere' backwards to avoid distortion of the front thumbnails.
//You can experiment with different values for the z coordinate.
spSphere.z=rad;
//We call several functions defined later in the script.
//They names tell it all.
setUpPics();
buildSphere();
spSphere.rotationY=0;
spSphere.rotationX=0;
spSphere.rotationZ=0;
spSphere.filters=[new GlowFilter(0x666666,1.0,6.0,6.0,2)];
rotateSphere(0,0,0);
setUpListeners();
//The function that draws the black rectangle behind our sphere.
//You can change the values below to change the size and the color
//of the background. Those values do not affect the sphere itself.
function drawBoard():void {
board.graphics.clear();
board.graphics.lineStyle(0,0x333333);
board.graphics.beginFill(0x000000, 0);
board.graphics.drawRect(-640,-490,1180,1080);
board.graphics.endFill();
//We add all the necassary listeners. They are self-explanatory.
//Note that holdersArray[i][j] is the Sprite that contains the
//j-th thumbnail on the i-th circle.
function setUpListeners():void {
var i:int;
var j:int;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,autoRotate);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,boardOut);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,boardMove);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,boardDown);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,boardUp);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,doneLoad);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,loadingError);
photoHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,holderClicked);
for(i=0;i<7;i++){
for(j=0;j<jLen[i];j++){
holdersArray[i][j].doubleClickEnabled=true;
holdersArray[i][j].addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,picClicked);
The functions that are executed in response to events to which we listen.
The next one runs when a loaded picture is clicked.
function holderClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
board.visible=true;
photoHolder.visible=false;
infoBox.text="";
manualOn=false;
autoOn=true;
'picClicked' is executed when any of the thumbnails is double-clicked.
Note that in the function 'buildSphere' below, we assigned names to
all holders, holderArray[i][j]. We need those names now to know
which thumbnail was clicked and which image to load.
function picClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
var targName:String="Double Click Image To View";
var i:int;
var j:int;
targName=e.currentTarget.name;
i=int(targName.charAt(3));
j=int(targName.substring(5,targName.length));
board.visible=false;
loader.load(new URLRequest(picsArray[i][j]));
infoBox.text="";
loadBox.text="Loading...";
loadBox.visible=true;
function loadingError(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
loadBox.text="There has been an error loading the image. The server may be busy. Refresh the page and try again.";
function doneLoad(e:Event):void {
infoBox.text="Click the image to close it.";
photoHolder.visible=true;
loadBox.text="";
loadBox.visible=false;
//Listeners responsible for mouse rotations and auto-rotation.
function autoRotate(e:Event):void {
if(autoOn && !manualOn){
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(-0.5,Vector3D.Y_AXIS);
zSortPics();
function boardOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
autoOn=true;
manualOn=false;
function boardDown(e:MouseEvent):void {
prevX=board.mouseX;
prevY=board.mouseY;
autoOn=false;
manualOn=true;
function boardUp(e:MouseEvent):void {
manualOn=false;
function boardMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
var locX:Number=prevX;
var locY:Number=prevY;
if(!autoOn && manualOn){
prevX=board.mouseX;
prevY=board.mouseY;
rotateSphere(prevY-locY,-(prevX-locX),0);
e.updateAfterEvent();
The function setUpPics populates the arrays thumbsArray and picsArray.
Note the organization of thumbnails by circles on which they reside:
thumbsArray[0] - the north pole, thumbsArray[1] thumbnails of the first circle
down from the north pole, etc. 'picsArray' is organized similarly.
You can, of course, subsitute your own images, use thumbnails of
dimensions different from ours. Changing the number of thumbnails and their organization
would, however, require rewritting the script a bit.
function setUpPics():void {
thumbsArray[0]=[new Bitmap(new Small1(70,46))];
picsArray[0]=["pic1.jpg"];
thumbsArray[1]=[new Bitmap(new Small2(70,105)),new Bitmap(new Small3(70,105)),new Bitmap(new Small4(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small5(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small6(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small7(70,53))];
picsArray[1]=["pic2.jpg","pic3.jpg","pic4.jpg","pic5.jpg","pic6.jpg","pic7.jpg"];
thumbsArray[2]=[new Bitmap(new Small8(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small9(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small10(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small11(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small12(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small13(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small14(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small15(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small16(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small17(70,53))];
picsArray[2]=["pic8.jpg","pic9.jpg","pic10.jpg","pic11.jpg","pic12.jpg","pic13.jpg","pic1 4.jpg","pic15.jpg","pic16.jpg","pic17.jpg"];
thumbsArray[3]=[new Bitmap(new Small18(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small19(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small20(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small21(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small22(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small23(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small24(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small25(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small26(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small27(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small28(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small29(70,53))];
picsArray[3]=["pic18.jpg","pic19.jpg","pic20.jpg","pic21.jpg","pic22.jpg","pic23.jpg","pi c24.jpg","pic25.jpg","pic26.jpg","pic27.jpg","pic28.jpg","pic29.jpg"];
thumbsArray[4]=[new Bitmap(new Small30(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small31(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small32(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small33(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small34(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small35(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small36(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small37(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small38(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small39(70,53))];
picsArray[4]=["pic30.jpg","pic31.jpg","pic32.jpg","pic33.jpg","pic34.jpg","pic35.jpg","pi c36.jpg","pic37.jpg","pic38.jpg","pic39.jpg"];
thumbsArray[5]=[new Bitmap(new Small40(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small41(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small42(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small43(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small44(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small45(70,53))];
picsArray[5]=["pic40.jpg","pic41.jpg","pic42.jpg","pic43.jpg","pic44.jpg","pic45.jpg"];
thumbsArray[6]=[new Bitmap(new Small46(70,53))];
picsArray[6]=["pic46.jpg"];
In the next function we actually create a 3D sphere of thumbnails by positioning
them in 3D within spSphere. Note the center of the sphere is at (0,0,0) of
spSphere. It might be worth recalling that with our interpretation of
phi and theta each point P=(x,y,z) on the sphere corresponding to given values
of phi and theta is given by:
x = rad * sin(phi) * sin(theta),
y = -rad * cos(phi),
z = -rad * sin(phi) * cos(theta).
Within the function, we populate 'holdersArray' and 'midsArray'. We assign thumbnails
to holdersArray elements, position holdersArray elements, tilt them, give them names.
We literally build our sphere.
function buildSphere():void {
var i:int;
var j:int;
var tStep:Number;
var pStep:Number=phiStep*Math.PI/180;
for(i=0;i<7;i++){
holdersArray[i]=[];
midsArray[i]=[];
tStep=thetaStep[i]*Math.PI/180;
for(j=0;j<jLen[i];j++){
midsArray[i][j]=new Vector3D(rad*Math.sin(i*pStep)*Math.sin(j*tStep),-rad*Math.cos(i*pStep),-rad*Math.sin(i*p Step)*Math.cos(j*tStep));
holdersArray[i][j]=new Sprite();
holdersArray[i][j].name="pic"+String(i)+"_"+String(j);
holdersArray[i][j].addChild(thumbsArray[i][j]);
thumbsArray[i][j].x=-thumbWidth/2;
thumbsArray[i][j].y=-thumbHeight/2;
spSphere.addChild(holdersArray[i][j]);
holdersArray[i][j].x=midsArray[i][j].x;
holdersArray[i][j].y=midsArray[i][j].y;
holdersArray[i][j].z=midsArray[i][j].z;
holdersArray[i][j].rotationX=phiTilt[i];
holdersArray[i][j].rotationY=-j*thetaStep[i];
zSortPics();
'zSortPics' depth-sorts all thumbnails corresponding to each view of
the sphere. It sorts thumbnails by removing them (or more precisely
their holders, holdersArray[i][j], as children of spSphere and then reassigning
them based on the z-coordinates of their midpoints.
function zSortPics():void {
var distArray:Array=[];
var dist:Number;
var i:int;
var j:int;
var k:int;
var curMatrix:Matrix3D;
var curMid:Vector3D;
curMatrix=spSphere.transform.matrix3D.clone();
while(spSphere.numChildren>0){
spSphere.removeChildAt(0);
for(i=0;i<7;i++){
for(j=0;j<jLen[i];j++){
curMid=curMatrix.deltaTransformVector(midsArray[i][j]);
dist=curMid.z;
distArray.push([dist,i,j]);
distArray.sort(byDist);
for(k=0;k<distArray.length;k++){
spSphere.addChild(holdersArray[distArray[k][1]][distArray[k][2]]);
holdersArray[distArray[k][1]][distArray[k][2]].alpha=Math.max(k/(distArray.length-1),0.5) ;
function byDist(v:Array,w:Array):Number {
if (v[0]>w[0]){
return -1;
} else if (v[0]<w[0]){
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
The function that rotates the sphere in response to the user moving the mouse.
Note we are setting the z coordinate to 0 before rotation. Otherwise,
the non-zero translation coefficients produce undesirable effects.
Note also that we do not use this function in 'autoRotate'. That is because
when the sphere auto-rotates we want it to revolve about is pole-to-pole
axis. That means prepending rather than appending rotation.
See the function 'autoRotate' above.
function rotateSphere(rotx:Number,roty:Number,rotz:Number):void {
spSphere.z=0;
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(rotx,Vector3D.X_AXIS);
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(roty,Vector3D.Y_AXIS);
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(rotz,Vector3D.Z_AXIS);
spSphere.z=rad;
zSortPics();I won't be searching thru all that code to try to find something relevant to your post, but if you are using a Loader to load the images, you can get the width and height as soon as the loading is complete using the loader object (loader.width, loader.height). You just need to wait until loading is complete, so you'll need a listener for that if you don't have one already.

Need help with keeping pictures in focus after transitions
I am fairly new to Final Cut X.
Right now I am making a DVD of just photos with music added.
I am using transitions between photos as well.
I'm having one problem:
When I play the movie in FC, during the transition from photo to photo my pictures look great and are clear, but when the transition is not happening and the picture is just showing it goes a bit blurry.
Can someone help me out with a solution for this?
Thanks, AdamHighlight the song or songs you want to add the artwork to.
Click the Artwork button in the lower-left corner of the iTunes window (4th icon in).
The Artwork box will open.
Open the folder with the pictures in it from Windows Explorer
Drag the picture you want to the Artwork box from folder.
Press OK.
Alternatively:
Highlight the song or you want to add the artwork to.
Right click on it and choose Get Info
Then choose the Artwork tab
Choose Add and browse to the picture you want to add.
To add artwork to multiple items using Get Info
Open iTunes, highlight your selection (click on the first track in your list, hold down the shift key and click on the last).
Right click anywhere in the selection and choose Get Info
When you are asked if you want to edit multiple items say yes.
Drag your artwork to the small artwork box about halfway down on the right and choose OK.
