Help with moving objects.
Can anyone give me a hint or code or a website where i can find help on how to move obkects from side to side of the screen and also how to make balll blink (shrink, get bigger and over 5 times). Thnx
Hi,
to start you should have a look at the examples at
https://java3d.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html.
To animate objects in java3d you can use interpolators as shown in the SphereMotion.java example.

Hello, i'm new to java and i'm building applets with eclipse. I'm stuck on how to move and object to the left of the screen i can move it right of the screen with the
blueTriangle.slowMoveXPosition(50);
but how do i move it back again say 50. I know this easy stuff for you guys.
Do i have to put something on negative positions in the triangle class file?
Any help is much appreciated.

I doubt it's a standard one which anyone here would know about. I bet it's something your school provided instead, or another 3rd-party. So ask them. -
Interlace problems with moving objects using iDVD
I had an MP4 file (created by a 3rd party) from a Hi-8 analog tape which has some interlace artifacts on moving images (left image of boy) but not too bad. When the MP4 files was imported into iMovie 11 the interlace artifacts smoothed somewhat - that was OK (right image of boy). The camera was still and the boy was moving. Vertical lines on stationary objects are OK in all images. These are screen captures from the Mac of the mp4 played through quicktime and the same file imported into iMovie 11 and played. I paused both to take the screen capture.
The completed project in iMovie 11 looked OK when previewed prior to rendering. These are 20 year old videos so my expections were being met. I rendered the project with iDVD to the hard drive first and then to a DVD with the same poor imaging result on the moving object. I am using a new Macbook Pro I bought in early January which came with iMovie 11 and iDVD Ver 7.1.2 (1158). Running Mac OS X 10.7.3 Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz Corei7 8GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.
I couldn't screen capture from the MAC DVD player screen to illustrate the poor result (got a checkerboard screen) so I took a photo of the screen and imported that (below). The moving boy on the left is from an iMovie 11 screen capture, the image on the right is the moving boy from the rendered DVD I paused on the Mac (and took a pic of).
Below a close up of the poorly rendered moving boy viewed on the resultant DVD. This translates into a horrible rendition of any quick moving object. It happens with any moving image - i.e. a pan across a room with straight vertical lines like edges of a wall will show as serrated and poorly rendered edge. I used a trial version of the Daniusoft DVD creator with the same result! I am at a loss on how to resolve this issue. Any thoughts out there??
I had previously used Pinnacle Studios on my old XP PC which worked great on other tape's Mpeg files and created great DVD's (never had an interlace problem) ... until my computer died ..... so I figured Apple and associated software should be at least equal if not a superior product.

Needing help with moving pictures around
I am in need of help in moving pictures and images around
dreamweaver document window. My older brother gave me his computer
witch has dreamweaver MX (he is in Irag) so i can start building
building my own websites. I went to borders and bought a book on
dreamweaver MX. Here is where I am having a problem with: when ever
I bring a picture into the document window I can not move the
picture around the document window. The book say "place the
insertion point where you want the image to appear" but there is no
insertion point. There is just a straight line as if I am about to
type something. It's almost like I am in microsoft word. If I take
the mouse over the picture , and then left click and try to drag
the picture to the location I want it in, it doesn't move. Can
somebody PLEASE help me out with this problem. Thanks JicalNadia gave you a good place to start… Here is what you
have to understand. Web pages are based on specific code that tells
the viewer’s browser how to display the page. There has to be
something that says, “Put this picture in the lower right
hand corner, and center this image in the middle of the
screen”
Then there are further instructions that say “Put this
text here and that link there”. So Dreamweaver (and most
other web developing programs) do not work like Illustrator or
PowerPoint where you can simply grab a picture and slide it around
the page.
In its simplest form you might drag an image onto the
Dreamweaver design view page and click on the center button in the
properties dialog.
Then type in text and center it, left justify, right justify,
etc. Add another picture and so on and you could possibly create a
passable web page. Now click on the Code view button and see what
code Dreamweaver generated in order to do all of this.
That is what you will really need to understand before you
can really get proficient at web design.
At the next level, you can start to add in tables. These
actually are similar to tables in Word. You can put text in one
cell, images in another, colored backgrounds, thick and thin
borders with contrasting colors, and you can start to see how to
“contain” your images as Nadia suggests.
Now look at the code again and see how these cells are
defined around your content.
Once you understand how this works, you will get much more
comfortable with Dreamweaver. You will just have to get used to the
idea that it doesn’t work like all of the publishing software
that is only dependant upon its own format for layout. HTML is
dependant upon the many browsers, computers, operating systems,
user preferences, and a million other unknown factors.
That’s why this forum has more than 91,000 posts… -
Help with Moving Emails from Exchange Server 2013
Hi Team,
Help, I need a solution on how to copy incoming and outgoing emails together with their attachments and was hoping someone could help with a solution I need to find for this problem.
1) I have a need to copy all incoming and outgoing emails & attachments from Exchange Server 2013 mailboxes on a daily basis, so they can be archived into an external 3rd party database overnight.
I believe that the first step is that I can set up another Exchange mailbox, through Journaling to receive these emails.
Is there any way that these emails can then be moved direct from the Journaling mailbox that I have created, to a shared folder on the network? If so what format would they be sent out as e.g. .msg, .ems and what is the process?
Failing that, could they be sent to an Outlook client (not another Exchange mailbox) on the network and stored in a .pst file? (I have a program that will export them from .pst)
I would really appreciate any assistance that you can provide in this matter.
Regards, Greg.Hi,
You can set auto-forward on journaling mailbox and auto-forward emails to another mailbox. Why don’t directly archive the emails from the journaling mailbox “an external
3rd party database”.
Thanks,
Simon Wu

I am new to Pages and struggling to layer objects. I am working with opacity, but unable to move one object on top of another.
thanks for any help,
KimWelcome to Apple Discussions Kim
When you insert any object in a Pages document & have it "fixed on page," by default wrap is turned on with a 12 point gutter. This results in objects "pushing" other objects out of the way. With your object(s) selected, go to the wrap inspector & uncheck "object causes wrap." Unfortunately, there is no way to change this default setting, it will have to be done manually for any object inserted. You may wish to leave feedback for the Pages team asking that the ability to have wrap apply to all objects or not be added as a preference in future versions of Pages. -
I'm having problems copying data across my network to my new mac mini and i'm looking for some help with how to resolve this issue.
I'm using "Connect to Server' to connect via SMB to a Vista x64 machine that has the files I need to copy. I'm mounting the share as the user that has permissions to the files on the vista client. The connection is fine, but when I start the copy process, I receive an error message about not having the appropriate permissions to copy files and then the entire copy process fails. Here is the exact error message:
Copy
The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
OK
From the vista machine I have logged in as the same user and I have taken ownership of ALL of the files and folders I'm trying to copy. I also made sure that the folder is shared with EVERYONE having full access (not something I would normally do, but figured it might help this situation). The vista machine is in a workgroup if that makes a difference.
Question 1: how can I do this via command line so that instead of stopping the entire file copy it skips the ones it can't copy and copies the rest of them?
With hundreds of subfolders and thousands of files, I have no idea which ones it is failing to copy making this process quite painful.
I'm also stuck on another basic issue - when I originally connected to the share, I told the OSX machine to remember the password. If I want to reconnect to the share using a different username and different password, how do I get OSX to reprompt me for this information?
HelpYou are probably better off using
ditto
In a terminal
man ditto
and read the description and instructions.
Yes, sadly, many copy process when the fail at a file abort the rest of the process. Windows does this as well. -
Help with shared objects...again...
Okay, I've been looking at a really good tutorial for shared objects in AS2, and I think I've gotten the basic concept down of how they work... now the problem lies in just integrating it into what I already have, which is making my brain hurt. Basically its for a quiz game, which will have a dynamic scoreboard. I want the scores in the shared object to update when the submit button is pressed, and then have the new values loaded into text boxes. Displaying the values is going to be the easy part, its just updating them is what my brain doesnt want to wrap itself around. Here is the array I have at the moment (yes, horribly inefficient, but the last time I actually did any coding before this was over 2 years ago when I was still a computer science major... with all of 4 actual Comp Sci courses under my belt -_-)
scores= new Array();
names= new Array();
insert=function() {
var newscore;
var newname;
newscore=0
newscore=_global.correct;
if (newscore > scores[0]) {
scores[14]=scores[13];
scores[13]=scores[12];
scores[12]=scores[11];
scores[11]=scores[10];
scores[10]=scores[9];
scores[9]=scores[8];
scores[8]=scores[7];
scores[7]=scores[6];
scores[6]=scores[5];
scores[5]=scores[4];

Continues all the way down to scores[14]
Now, if I wanted this to pull data from the shared object, would I just put user_so.score[3]=user_so.score[2] for instance? Or would I run the array and just update the new valued individually once the array insertion function completes? THe problem with the latter is that it's not directly accessing the shared object so I'd need to find a way to pull them out into other variables first, and this is about the point where my brain just decides to short out on me and stop working alltogether...yay...
So yea, any help on this would be much appreciated.
also, would the array have to be declared within the shared object as well? If so, how would I do that exactly? Probably something so simple but the fact that it's shared objects is throwing me off...Ok, the shared object WAS working just fine until I had the banner start referencing it. Then the quiz began giving me syntax errors like crazy, and even when the banner isnt runnit it gives me issues.

these are the lines it's telling me I need an on handler for, which I do have, at the very start of the entire code.
Ive counted the brackets and those seem to line up, but I'll double check again. The code is on the submit button itself (yes I know it's poor coding form, but this is how I learned it and what I'm used to, and since I'm on a bit of a time schedule now isn't the time to completely re-learn the proper conventions and etiquite of coding in flash).

Poor quality Export for HD with moving objects
When I export from iMovie6 any moving image is very poor quality. I am using a Sony HDR-HC1 and trying to export at the highest possible settings.
When the image is still the quality is very good, but if anything moves the image goes "wobbly" and "jigsaw" like. Panning shots are hopeless and anyone walking in the shot goes wobbly.
The original capture image seems fine, so I assume it is an exporting problem. Exporting at lower setting, ie for an iPod, the image is great.
I have tried all different setting, some are better than others.
Can anyone help?Your description of the problem - a 'comb' effect - sounds as if the "fields" which make up the resultant picture have been put together in reverse.
(..You don't normally see 'interlaced' video in iMovie's playback window - you normally see just a single field of the two, to make the picture clearer and simpler to display..)
[..A video picture's generally made up of two "fields" which each comprise half the number of lines down the screen: one field comprises the odd-numbered lines, and the other the even-numbered ones. Your exported video should be encoded with the lower (2nd) field first ..as described in this Apple document ..and the problem's mentioned here as well..]
However ..you said in your first post that "..I am using a Sony HDR-HC1 and trying to export at the highest possible settings.."
This is an HDV camcorder, and you didn't say if the original footage which you shot was HDV or normal DV. (HDV is recorded differently from normal DV, as it's recorded in a more compressed format, and it has to be automatically 'unscrambled' by Apple's Intermediate Codec while you're importing it into iMovie HD.)
It seems as if somewhere along the chain of importing>editing>exporting, the fields are being reversed, so that you get this jumpiness on replay when QuickTime tries to deliver a "highest quality" interleaved replay of both fields:
Ah ..sudden thought: you mentioned that you exported thro' iDVD: "..I have used iDVD by dropping it into a DVD theme and it seems to work ok, although the playback is a little jumpy, not quite as good I would have expected.."
You may have left the iDVD settings at their default 'NTSC' instead of switching them to PAL.
Check your iDVD Preferences ..that may be the problem. -
Hi All,
New to Flex and wanted to get some help from the public.
Basically, here's what I want to do.
I have a tab navigator with multiple tabs. Each tab has a
datagrid on it. When you click the tab, the grid should update to
new data based on the tab clicked. That's no problem. The problem
I'm running into is that because the data is taking a while to
retreive from the server, users are getting the previous's tabs
datagrid until the information is updated. I wanted to do two
things:
1) Change the cursor to a "thinking" or "processing" icon
where clicks can't be done until the full data has been retreived
and updated. This is a nice to have; i haven't the slightlest clue
on how to accomplish this.
2) In lieu/addition to #1, i wanted the datagrid to be
dynamic. Meaning, if you go to the tab, it'll add dynamically the
datagrid to the tab and then show the data.
Here's my code, but it doesn't work very well. Any help i can
get from you guys would be great:

Thanks all for your assistance.I think Ned is on the right track, but the specific form of
the command may be off. If the ProgressEvent handler is defined on
MC_Holder_Image, then the command to get the
MC_Holder_Preload_TextField object should be something like:
var oTextField:TextField =
this.parent.parent.MC_Holder_Preload.getChildByName(childname);
oTextField.text = "some text";
The first "parent" references MC_Holder_Sprite, the second
MC_Holder. If there are several instances of MC_Holder_Preload,
then the above would have to be modified to account for that by
first using the getChildByName method to acquire the appropriate
instance like so:
var oMC:MovieClip =
this.parent.parent.getChildByName(HolderPreloadName);
var oTextField:TextField = oMC.getChildByName(TextFieldName);
Hope this (a) makes sense, (b) helps and (c) actually works.
Regards

I've been thinking of submiting some of my Illustrator designs to iStock and I want clean up the files and perhaps combine some of the objects so there isn't this bigg mess of layers. The problem I'm having is that some objects need to be on top of other objects - for example a shadow on a foot needs to be above the layer with the foot's primary color. So if I wanted to combine objects that are in this kind of order would anyone have any tips or suggestions? I also want to combine layers that have just lines I've drawn on them, like movement lines which are just open paths with strokes. If I could get these types of objects all merged into one object then I could cut down not only on the size of the file but also the number of layers involved. This way when someone buys it from iStock they're not faced with this huge file with hundreds of layers.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.Fully familiarize yourself with these topics:
Combining paths. These are functions common in vector programs which union, punch, and intersect multiple paths. In Illustrator, they are called Pathfinders.
Outlining Srokes. Creates unstroked filled paths around the edges of stroked paths. Understanding this is integral to using path combination functions in Illustrator especially, because Illustrator is so poor at cutting and dealing with open unfilled paths.
Transparency and other Raster Effects. You need to understand which effects and transparency settings result in rasterization, and what that portends regarding the scaleability of your artwork.
Color Model. Are you going to deliver CMYK or RGB files? Do you know why?
What format do you intend to provide to the clipart reseller? Native AI files? If so, what version?
Merely having Layers in your AI file does not significantly affect file size. An AI file is a stack of objects. That's true whether the whole stack of objects resides on a single Layer or a hundred Layers. Layers are nothing but another way of "grouping" subsets of the object stack for organization purposes. You seem to be thinking of Layers in AI as similar to Layers in Photoshop. That is a very common and very basic misunderstanding of the nature of vector artwork.
It's the object constructs that you need to concern yourself with when creating clean, efficient, reliable, versatile, and easy-to-work-with vector artwork. "Normalize" things to their simplest constructs. Avoid unnecessary anchorpoints, clipping paths, masking, so-called "transparency" and "live effects."
I very much applaud your desire to build clean files. (There is far too much sloppy, convoluted crap floating around out there nowadays.) Not meaning to discourage, but the fact of your concern about Layers frankly suggests that you may not really be ready to be delivering ready-made and problem-free artwork for widespread use as clipart. You need to fully understand the items mentioned above, and alot more. Asking questions in a user forum will be a very slow method of learning that stuff--there are too many variables and specific situations.

I need help with moving my iTunes library to a new disk...
I'm soon gonna get a new SSD which is half the size of my HDD. So i guess i wont be able to restore with time machine or use disk utility to clone the drive. I'll have to start with a fresh copy of moutain lion.
What I'll want to do is that keep all my music on my ssd and let all the podcast and itunes u be on an external hdd.
can someone outline the steps to...
create a library on the ssd on which os x is installed.
move music, playlists and apps.
let the podcast and itunes u be on an external hdd and yet be accessible from itunes, like being referenced.
in the past i did this by moving the entire library to the internal drive and then while itunes was running, move the videos from the library folder to the external drive. it autoMAGICALLY was able to find the videos on the external drive while my music and apps were stored in the internal.
now my library size is so big with all the videos that i cannot do the above steps as i want be able to copy the entire library to the internal ssd.
any help is appreciated.
thanks in addvace.
NeeravSometimes we sleep. We have even been known to be away from the keybord to bathe (but usually not for longer than 2 minutes once a week ).
I don't know how you automagically did it last time - your details are lacking. iTunes is normally terrible at following you moving things, especially from drive to drive. You either have to let iTunes do the moving (by consolidating to a new location) or you have to disable iTunes managing your media in which case it will follow moving inside a drive but still not between drives.
Despite the new version, iTunes still does not make it easy to split your library between drives. Probably since you only buy your items from iTunes and are never away from a high speed Internet connection it doesn't matter since you can always stream or download items you need from your Match subscription, right?

I need help with a Object Array
I am having trouble and this maybe really simple seeing that I am fairly new to java but I have text that is being broken down in to preset part with those parts stored in Object arrays.
Now I also have a object array inside my object array. Within the second object array are the broken down parts of the text and I want to compare this text with another string so for example this is what I am trying
boolean found = false;
for (int i = 0; i < FirstObjectArray.length ;i++)
Object[] SecondObjectArray = (Object[]) FirstObjectArray;
if(SecondObjectArray[0] == "string")
found = true;
break;
else
found = false;
}Help would be very appreciated.astlanda wrote:

sharkura said all the OP needs at the moment. I just wanted to clarify a bit why You don't use == 99.999% of the time with objects, and never with String.
I have argued elsewhere in these forums that it is inappropriate to tell anyone that you never use == to compare objects. This has not always been accepted. I have, on rare occasions, known experienced developers to blindly compare two objects with equals(), and cite the professor that taught them, 15 years iin the past, that object references are never compared using ==, but always with equals().
However, the cases where == is appropriate and equals() is not are indeed rare, but not, in my experience, non-existent. In my statement, I probably exaggerated. And String is a case where I can probably accept that you will probably never go wrong with equals(). If the String has been pooled (see String::intern()), you can actually use either. From the javadocs: "*It follows that for any two strings s and t, s.intern() == t.intern() is true if and only if s.equals(t) is true.*"

Hello,
First off thanks in advance to anyone who helps. I am trying to write a program that using a class string object to convert this kind of "text speech" to english. For example if the user inputs "HowAreYou?", I want the program to output "How are you?" I am having too much trouble with strings for some reason. This is what I have so far and I am not sure where to go from here. Should I use a do loop to check through the input string until it is done seperating the words? And how should I go about doing that?
import java.util.Scanner;
public class P8
public static void main( String args[] )
char choice;
String line = null;
String answer = null;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
do
System.out.println();
System.out.print("ENTER TextSpeak sentence(s): ");
line = scan.nextLine();
System.out.print( "Converted to English: \t ");
System.out.print( textSpeaktoEng( line ) );
System.out.println();
System.out.print("Want more TextSpeak?\t\t ");
answer = scan.next();
choice = answer.charAt(0);
if( scan.hasNextLine() )
answer = scan.nextLine();
}while(choice != 'N' && choice != 'n');
public static String textSpeakToEng(String s)
String engStr = null;
if( Character.isUpperCase( s.charAt(j) ) )
engStr += ? ?;
engStr += Character.toLowerCase( s.charAt(j) );
scan.close();
}I got my program to compile and run but I have a problem. If I input something like "ThisForumIsGreat" it will output just "t f i g" in lower case letters. Any suggestions?
import java.util.Scanner;
public class P8
public static void main( String args[] )
char choice; // Repeat until n or N
String line = null; // Sentences to toTextSpeak
String answer = null; // Repeat program scan
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); // Read from keyboard
do
System.out.println();
System.out.print("ENTER TextSpeak sentence(s): ");
line = scan.nextLine(); // Read input line
System.out.print( "Converted to English: \t ");
System.out.print( textSpeakToEng( line ) );
System.out.println();
System.out.print("Want more TextSpeak?\t\t ");
answer = scan.next(); // Read line, assign to string
choice = answer.charAt(0); // Assign 1st character
if( scan.hasNextLine() ) // <ENTER> character
answer = scan.nextLine(); // Read line, discard
}while(choice != 'N' && choice != 'n'); // Repeat until input start n or N
public static String textSpeakToEng(String s)
String engStr = null;
int i;
for ( i = 0; i < s.length(); ++i )
if( Character.isUpperCase( s.charAt(i) ) )
engStr += " "; // Append 1 blank space
engStr += Character.toLowerCase( s.charAt(i) ); // Append lowercase

I just upgraded to CP 5. Need help with drawing objects.
I am trying to put a simple drawing object around a word. Like a square. I can't figure out how to not have any fill, just the outline of the box. Any suggestions? I was able to do this in CP 4.
Hi there
Personally, I'd use a Highlight Box to accomplish this. But that's just me.
Here are the steps for a square drawing object. I'll assume you have already inserted the object and placed it and all you want are instructions for dealing with the fill.
Look inside the properties inspector at the Fill & Stroke section. Click the Fill color and configure Alpha to 0%.
Cheers... Rick
