Hide UIPickerView with animation

Hi,
I've added a UIPickerView programmatically and I'd like to dismiss it with an animation (not with picker.hidden = YES).
Could you explain me how to do this?

Hello,
I would suggest you to hide your axis and to set your camera position during the creation phase of your animation wihtin A3D Reviewer.
you will find more inforamtion under the A3D Reviewer docuementation
Launche A3DR, Press F1 key and browse the animation chapters...
Hope it helps

" Masquer jusqu'a l'animation"("Hide until the animation")

We bought Adobe In Design CS5.
Now we have problem with animation SWF file that InDesign CS5 can generate.
When we put “ Masquer jusqu’a l’animation”(“Hide until the animation”) in preview it works correctly, but in SWF file it doesn’t work.
Can you please help us to fix this problem?

That´s a bug.
If your animation starts from outside of page area, place animated object to it´s starting point and change animation type to From Current Appearance. Object probably still flashes when user enters the page but nobody can see that since it happens outside page area.
If your animation´s starting point is inside page area, you have to create some kind of mask for it. If it´s on white page, simple white rectangle will do fine. Make sure that white rectangle is front of the animated object. When you start your animation, fade that mask first to invisible and then start actual animation. That way your animated object flashes behind the mask rectangle.
You can set the timings in Timing panel.

Problem with animated .gif

I have a problem with animated gifs. So if I set a animated gif as background and a button is over it as in the example below, then everytime the animation goes on the button disappears until I go over it with the mouse. So what can I do to solve this?
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
public class FrameBackImage {
          public static void main(String args []){
               final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame");
               frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
               frame.setSize(400, 400);
               frame.setResizable(false);
               frame.setLayout(null);
               java.net.URL imageURL = ImageApp.class.getResource("animatedw.gif");
               ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(imageURL);
             final JLabel label = new JLabel(imageIcon);
             label.setBounds(0,0 , 400, 400);
             frame.getLayeredPane().add(label);
             JButton button = new JButton ("Exit");
             button.setBounds(200, 129, 60, 60);
             button.setBackground(Color.black);
             button.setForeground(Color.white);
             frame.add(button);
             button.addActionListener(
             new ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
                         System.exit(0);
             frame.validate();
              frame.setVisible(true);
}

In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
Your usage of the getLayeredPane() method is something I've never seen before, so I don't know if thats the problem or not.
How to display a "background image" is asked all the time in the Swing forum. So to familiarize yourself with the forum you can try searching the Swing forum. Using the keywords I highlighted would be a good place to start.

How can I add 3ds Model into After Effects with animation and camera rotation?

Hi all!
I'm on my way to my final project of Multimedia Animation of my bachelor last year.
I have good knowledge of After Effects & 3ds Max.
I want to do a short movie with aliens being shot down.
So, my question is: How can I import my 3ds model with the animation(keyframes) into After Effects AND rotate the whole character and it's animation as I move the camera?
for example, having a alien being shot down at the same time I'm recording with the HD camera around, that means that I have to define planes and angles, the problem is that I'm not parenting the character correctly with the plane.

Element doesn't do pre-anaimted objects, so that would be the limiting factor. Of course it could still be handy for otehr scene elements. On that note, using AtomKraft and exporting the model as an Alembic file with animation might also be something to look into...

Script for saving GIF with Animation Loop Endless

Hi,
I am searching for a way to use "save for web" in a Photoshop CC Script.
I already found how to use the "save for web" using Script, but now i am stuck, because i cannot find any information on how to set
that the animation, i want to save as a Animated GIF File, can be set to loop endless.
I already tried to search in all the docs i found about scripting, but there is not a single information about saving gif with animation loop endless...
thanks,
Philipp

When you do use "save for web" and select GIF, on the bottom right, the loop mode can be selected. But i think i wouldn't matter to me if it's being set before saving the image.
I already tried to run the script, but somehow
"charIDToTID('Ordn')" for example won't run. Is this the same as charIDToTypeID? because i found charIDToTypeID is a function, but charIDToTID is not...
also the third line from the end, one of the functions seem not to work, i think....
But already you given me a real good answer to what i may try to search for, since i did not actually know that this is set within the timeline, i always used the option within the "save for web" dialog on the bottom-right.
I Solved my own problem ...
I just made Photoshop CC with a script log everything, then gotten to this:
function setLoopForever() {
var idsetd = charIDToTypeID( "setd" );
    var desc5 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref2 = new ActionReference();
        var idanimationClass = stringIDToTypeID( "animationClass" );
        var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
        var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
        ref2.putEnumerated( idanimationClass, idOrdn, idTrgt );
    desc5.putReference( idnull, ref2 );
    var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T   " );
        var desc6 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idanimationLoopEnum = stringIDToTypeID( "animationLoopEnum" );
        var idanimationLoopType = stringIDToTypeID( "animationLoopType" );
        var idanimationLoopForever = stringIDToTypeID( "animationLoopForever" );
        desc6.putEnumerated( idanimationLoopEnum, idanimationLoopType, idanimationLoopForever );
    var idanimationClass = stringIDToTypeID( "animationClass" );
    desc5.putObject( idT, idanimationClass, desc6 );
executeAction( idsetd, desc5, DialogModes.NO );
Works perfect!

How to save expression together with animation preset?

I am trying to understand expressions and animation presets.
I have one single slider control, which controls the opacity of a layer, where the value is the slider value + slightly changed using an expression.
I can save the slider control as an animation preset, but the expression gets lost.
Yes, this is so basic that it can be, this is the way I like to learn. And as far as I know, expressions can be saved together with animation presets. I hope someone can tell me how!

The reason that the expression is not removed when you delete the slider is that the expression is only reading the slider value, the slider doesn't know that the expression is there. There's no reverse link.
You can build more professional effects but that involves editing the xml file that tells AE what effects are applied. This still would not generate a reverse link to an expression.
Enabling or disabling an effect only changes the way things are rendered. If you have keyframes on a Lens Flair Brightness and you disable the effect the Lens Flair will not render but the keyframe values will still be available to an expression. Again, there's no reverse link. Since an expression slider does not make a change in the pixel values of a layer turning the FX switch on or off will have no effect on an expression reading the value.
The "trick" in creating an Animation Preset that uses expressions and is removed with the "effect" is removed from the Effects Control Window is to only write expressions for properties that are available in the effects used. You could do this by applying the Transform Effect, or the Levels Individual Controls Effect, or the CC Composite Effect to the layer and writing the expression there instead of placing your expression in the Layer's opacity property. Take a look at this screenshot.

CSS disjointed rollovers with animation?

im redesigning my site and for some reason my rollovers arent working. the top two thumbs are active.. nike and coke:
http://www.toddheymandirector.com/SPOTS/index_2010.html
would it make sense to try this in CSS? and can CSS do disjointed rollovers with animated gifs?

They work for me, but you are not doing yourself a favor by letting the QT file auto-play. It will block UI interavctivity in many cases. As for you otehr question - an image is an image. CSS doesn't care whether the format in itself is animated or static.

Export for DVD with Animation codec without alphas channels not working?

I'm using FCP 5 with DVDSP. My FCP projects consist of quicktime movies that are using the Animation compressor (for lossless quality), and the movies contain alpha channels (thus they were rendered at Millions + colors to preserve the alphas).
This is my problem. I want to now export a quicktime movie to use in DVDSP with animation compression, so it is again lossless quality (obviously to presever the quality through these steps). But I do NOT want to preserve the alpha channels, because what I've learned is that when made into a DVD, the alphas are not preserved and the image looks wrong (as if without the alphas).
So I basically want to "flatten" the video, if there was some way.
I would assume the solution would be to, in FCP, export a quicktime at animation compression, but set to Millions for colors, and not Millions + (I was taught that the Millions + will preserve the alpha info).
Well, what's happening is when I set it to that, it renders, but then I get info on the movie in Quicktime and it says it has Millions + still. And thus, it looks wrong in DVDSP.
What is going on? Is this a bug in FCP?
Does anyone have an idea as to how to get around this. The only thing that has worked for me is to export the Quicktime movie with "none" for compression, but that's making the movie SO large that I can't work with it and it doesn't play right when I make the DVD.
I really appreciate anyones help on the matter. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. I have not yet tried laying a solid black video track underneath to see what it does, but it seems like a good idea and I'll try it out to see what happens when I get back home.
I'll try to explain what I mean by the image looking wrong.
I'm picking up where another left off, so I'm not sure of how he cut the quicktime movie together; all I know is that they used alpha channels in Photoshop and After Effects to make the image looks the way they want it. This is a drawn character laid on a white background with a black frame around the entire image. It looks the way he wants it to in the quicktime movie, and this quicktime movie is 720x480, animation millions colors +, 24fps.
This movie, along with others of the like, need to be cut together in FCP and then put on a DVD with DVDSP. When I export it and it looks "wrong", what's happening is there is a black block behind the drawn character. The guy that made the movies in AE says that, that is what it looks like when the alpha channel is not working correctly.
To test things, I've changed the quicktime compression settings in the sequence settings. If I set it to anything that is not animation, I get that black block in the viewer. (Note though, that if I set it to animation, millions + or not +, it shows the alpha correctly both ways).
In FCP's user manual it says that if you're passing your movie on to a DVD, to use a high or lossless compression to keep the quality up, like animation or PhotoJPEG. For this reason, I haven't wanted to go to DV - especially with this type of image (graphic drawn shapes), it's easy to see a quality difference.
It really seems like there is a lot of voodoo involved with compression settings. As for now the best "fool-proof" solution I've found is to re-render the movie in After Effects at millions (not+) so that it won't contain the alpha channel info, and FCP seems to like that a lot more.
I just wish I could get FCP to work with the movies as they were because I'm having to re-edit everything to work with these new movies now.
Thanks again for the tips and insight.

Hide Series with no data

Dear friends,
please your help with this issue.
I have 2D column chart with multi Series, is there any way to hide series without date.
i.e.. series depends on parameter i want to hide the Series if I did not enter the Series parameter.
I hope that was clear.
thanks all

Hi,
As far as I know, the "Hide items with no data" of slicer works for the values category in the pivot table. If the values category in the pivot table is empty, the slicer will hide the rows. And the other situations (we do not put the data in values
category), it'll not hide the rows. Because the rows are also the records of the data source. (It also applies to the table in Excel 2013)
Thanks,

What is the workflow for creating a children's ebook with animated illustration?

I would like to animate and create a children's book with animated illustrations for the iPad but I am confused as to what the workflow is. I am proficient in Flash, Edge, Photoshop and getting to grips with indesign and DPS. but I cannot find the answer as to how to create an interactive children's book anywhere, Would I be able to create it with DPS? How can I make the accelerometer? e.g. getting things falling when you turn the iPad? Ultimately what I would like is to animate in Edge or Flash and then create a page turner/table of contents (illustrated) etc. Can someone please help?

Impossible to answer, I’m afraid. There’s just not enough details here and the very fact that you’re asking tells me that you should be very careful in choosing how to get this project done.

Unable to backward while synchonize audio with animation.

Hi there,
Is anyone facing the problem which when you doing the audio synchonize with animation. I make mistake(animation appear wrong timing), with presenter 6, we just pause and move the slider backward to the newly appear animation willl disappear in order to redo it. But In presenter 7, backward of the slider nothing will happen.
This problem very waste of time when you trying to synchonize more than 20 animation with 5mins above of video for each slide.
Please aid me on this problem.
THanks~!

Resizing/Cropping slides with Animation

I have a quick question regarding resizing/cropping slides
that have some type of animation, whether it be mouse, scrolling,
typing, etc. But if I use the resize movie option, and then crop.
say for example, I want to crop off the IE bar at the top and
bottom. it will crop off the bars on normal slides, but any slide
with animation, it will on. I understand the slide is an animation,
but is it possible have Captivate crop those bars off?

Hi Amanda
If you can live with the results, one easy way around this is to insert a Highlight Box object that totally covers what you want to clear away. Configure it with a solid color, no transparency and no border. Then size and position as desired. Then copy from the initial slide and paste onto other slides. (Remember, you are able to multi-select the other slides before you paste).
Then you could Merge into Background to influence the changes.
You might try it with a copy of the project first and see if the results are acceptable to you and the client. It would seem far easier than re-recording or taking other drastic measures.
Cheers... Rick
