Ho to create an inverse dynamic effects in shapes in apple motion.

if i paint a stroke in motion as basic airbrush in shape style, i go in inspector , in shape -advanced and activate, dynamic, i want to create an invers particle effects, i want it to start as random particles and finisc in my fixed shape. ho can i do it?

Help with creating Box2D bodies dynamically, according to shape.

Hello everyone,
I am having some issues on how to dynamically create Box2D bodies dynamically, according to the shape.
So far this is how I've layed out my project in attempt to do this...

                              circle.SetRadius(15 * 0.5 * pxToM);
The above code did have some errors, but even if it worked I wouldn't have been happy. It was just my attempt at what I'm trying to achieve.
What I want to is be able to call a function in my "Main" class to create a shape (Circle body or Polygon body), like so... createShape(wheelBuilder, 0, 0, 0, 0);
I would like to make the class ShapeObjectDirector and ShapeObjectBuilder to be able to handle b2CircleShape() and b2PolygonShape(), but my problem is creating constants to handle both datatypes all in the one class.
Basically, I need help with building a class to create shapes on the fly, with minimal code in the Main class. What do you guys suggest? I would be grateful for one of you's who have enough experience with this kind of thing to write me a post on how I can tackle this problem, all responses appreciated.
Thankyou,
Brendon.

UIImageView initWithImage takes a UIImage* as a parameter, not NSString*. So load your image into a UIImage first
UIImage *ballImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Ball.png"];
UIImageView *tempStart = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:ballImage];

How to inverse the effect of shape mask for color correction ?

To change the effect on a particular portion of the frame we use shape mask is there a way to keep the portion under the mask intact and change the color outside it ? For eg specially if the area to keep unchanged is in the middle of the frame.....?

At the bottom of the color board you have separate controls for inside and outside.

Create images with dynamic width from 3 images each (left/center/right-part)

Hello,
i want to employ a script to create images of dynamic width for me. The whole process shall base on different sized sets of images, which contain a left-image, a right-image and a center-image. The desired width for the different cases shall be reached by duplicating the center-image between the two outer images and placing those images next to each other until the image extends to desired width.
The layers importet into Photoshop shall be importet as smart-layers (which i already solved).
Has anyone done something similar already and could give me some useful hints on that issue ?
I have come up to this until now:

I adapted a Script somewhat, so you may give this a test.
But it uses the open file so you would have to adapt it further.

CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4

CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4 they only appear in the monitor when the play button is activated. The other clips appear without a problem. I noticed that the same situation arises when I dynamically link to Encore CS4. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you Ann. But the problem is when switched on the AE clips on the timeline are only viewable when I start the project (ie press the space bar) and as it also doesn’t appear in Encore I am afraid to spend a great deal of time creating a DVD with these clips not appearing. Any advice?
Regards and again many thanks

How to create a viewobject dynamically without using wizard

Hi,
I am Using jDEV 11G, i need to create a viewobject dynamically without using wizard, without binding from any entity.
Actually my intention is to make a grid like in .Net, when a user want to create a new row in RichTable without using DB.
just like shopping cart.
i have done thsi code:
ViewObjectImpl view=new ViewObjectImpl();
view.addDynamicAttributeWithType("Att1","String",null);
view.addDynamicAttributeWithType("Att2","String",null);
view.addDynamicAttributeWithType("Att2","String",null);
Row rw=view.createRow();
rw.setAttribute("Att1","First1");
rw.setAttribute("Att2","First2");
rw.setAttribute("Att2","First3");
view.insertRow(rw);
I have a RichTable , i need bind this viewobject into that.

Hi Vipin,
You can create the view object with rows populated at run time.

How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad? I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
Thanks

Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
Apps:
iMovie
CinemaFXV
VideoFix
Cartoonatic
Video illusion
VidEditor
Software:
Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
VideoPad (Again. Few choices)

Creating Forte FieldWidgets Dynamically at Runtime

Hi Everyone,
Could someone please help me with the following problem I have when
creating Forte fieldwidgets dynamically at run-time. I am using Forte
ver. 3.0.G.2.
(-1-) I have a window class with an empty gridfield, <grfMain>, inside a
viewport. The idea is to populate the gridfield with DataField
fieldwidgets dynamically at runtime. Depending on some input criteria,
sometimes some of the DataFields need to map to IntegerNullables, some
to DoubleNullables and some to DateTimeNullables. (Please note that I
cannot use the Forte window workshop to create these fieldwidgets,
because different types of fieldwidgets will be needed at different
times, in different numbers, at run-time. ) Here is a sample of how I am
currently trying to achieve this:
dfDate : DataField = new;
dfDate.MaskType = MK_Template;
dfDate.DateTemplate = new( value='dd/mm/yyyy' );
dfDate.Row = 1;
dfDate.Column = 2;
dfDate.Parent = <grfMain>;
dfInt : DataField = new;
dfInt.MaskType = MK_INTEGER;
dfInt.Row = 2;
dfInt.Column = 2;
dfInt.Parent = <grfMain>;
dfReal : DataField = new;
dfReal.MaskType = MK_FLOAT;
dfReal.Row = 3;
dfReal.Column = 2;
dfReal.Parent = <grfMain>;
The code above is called after the window has been opened with the
Open() statement.
Looking at the code above, one obvious omission is that the "Mapped
Type" of the Datafields are not set up. In the Forte window workshop, an
interface is provided to set up the "Mapped Type" of the Datafield
widgets, but I'm not sure how to do that dynamically, and that is
basically my biggest problem here.
(-2-) If I now run the window class, the Datafield widgets get created,
and they all have the correct input maks, but no validation gets done
when one tabs away from the field. For example, Datafields with
MaskType=MK_INTEGER will gladly accept '--1--0++7', while Datafields
created in the window workshop (mapping to IntegerNullables) will do a
validation, and not allow one to tab out of the field before the extra
minus and plus signs are not removed.
I have the same problem with the Datafields which have
MaskType=MK_Template and DateTemplate='dd/mm/yyyy'. For the date, one
can enter something like '2*\**\****', and leave the field, while the
same type of datafield created in the window workshop (mapped to a
DateTimeNullable), will not allow you to leave the field before a valid
date has not been entered. To summarise, the input masks of my
dynamically created Datafields work fine, but no validation gets done
when the field looses the focus.
(-3-) As a test, I used the Forte debugger ("view"-"local variables") to
look at the differences between Datafields created dynamically, and
those created in the Forte window workshop. One very obvious difference
was that Datafield attribute "MapTypeName" was filled in for the window
workshop Datafields, but not for my dynamically created Datafields. The
problem is that Forte does not allow me to set this attribute
dynamically in my code. How else can I setup the Mapped Type
dynamically?
(-4-) In order to have a consistent look-and-feel throughout our Forte
project, we are making use of Domain classes for DATE and DECIMAL data
entry fields. My questions are:
(4.1) How must I go about creating Datafields dynamically that make use
of these Domain classes?
(4.2) Is it also a matter of setting up the "MapTypeName" attribute,
which I cannot seem to do?
(4.3) Is the mapping done differently for Domain classes?
(-5-) Another interesting thing to note for Datafields created in the
Forte Window Workshop, is that if the mapped type is IntegerNullable
with Input Mask = Integer, or DoubleNullable with Input Mask = Float,
then the Object that the Datafield widget maps to, must first be
instantiated before the Loose-Focus validations will start to work. For
example, if a Datafield widget called "dfTestInt" was created in the
Forte window workshop, which maps to an IntegerNullable, and Input Mask
= Integer, then the following line is needed before the window is
displayed: dfTestInt = new;
Without this line, one can enter something like '2---3+++7', and leave
the field.
This is not true for Datafields where the mapped type is
DateTimeNullable with say Input Mask Template='dd\mm\yyyy'. In this case
validations are done even thought the object being mapped to, has not
been instantiated yet. In other words you will never be able to enter
'2*/**/****', and leave the field for datafield created in the window
workshop. Maybe in this case the validation is being done by the
template itself?

what I mean is rendering JSF components on the fly, becuase some time you don't know things at design time. Lets say I am designing a page in creator that shows the total number of dependants that belongs to a primary inusrance member in text boxes. Of course we don't know in advance how many dependants we have for a specific member unless we go to databse and fetch all the data at runtime. Desiging some thing dynamic like that is very easy in CGI or ASP/JSP but JSF model seems very static due to it's design time feature.
So is it possible with JSF or not?

Need help / suggestion in creating realistic thunder particle effect

I has a lot of problem in creating realistic thunder particle
effect:
1) The "particle" I use is a tiny white square, when it
duplicating it create weird thunder...simply say ithe lighting
effect look very fake.
2) The motiton of thunder is too "sharp", it make the thunder
look like "zip zap"
3) So far I only can create one thunder bolt but I cannot
make it split into few thunder bolt and move to different
direction.
Can anyone give me some suggestion, either in graphic, math
or logic?
Here is my swf file:

How to create internal table dynamically based on a table entry

hi Experts,
I have table yprod_cat. It has product categories.
In my ABAP program I need to create internal table dynamically based on the number of entries in the table.
For example:
If the table has 3 entries for product category
1. Board
2. Micro
3. Syst
Then create three (3) internal tables.
i_board
i_micro
i_syst
How can we do this? Any sample code will be very usefull
Thanks & Regards

Our APEX version is 4.2We are using below SQL query to display radio groups dynamically..
SELECT APEX_ITEM.RADIOGROUP (1,deptno,'20',dname) dt
FROM dept
ORDER BY 1;
Created a form using SQL type and given abouve SQL query as source.. But when we run the page, there were no radio groups displayed in the page..
Below is the output of the query..
<input type="radio" name="f01" value="10" />ACCOUNTING
<input type="radio" name="f01" value="20" checked="checked" />RESEARCH
<input type="radio" name="f01" value="30" />SALES
<input type="radio" name="f01" value="40" />OPERATIONS
>
If Tabular Form:
Edit Region > Report Attributes > Edit Column > Change the Column type to "Standard Report Column"
If normal Page Item:
Edit Page Item > Security > Escape special characters=No.
Pl read the help on that page item to understand the security risk associated with =NO.

In the above report first column and the last columns are fixed and the other columns are dynamic depending upon the input selection:
if input selection is Normal and RDO then only 2 columns w'd be created and the other 2 fixed columns.
Can anybody help me how do I design such report....
Thanks

Hi Developer life,
According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric values) in the details, add an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.

If your still have any problem, please try to provide us more details information, such as the data structure in the DB and the table structure you are currently designing.
Any question, please feel free to let me know.

How do I create a similar line effect to this:

I'm trying to figure out the best way to create a similar line effect to this in illustrator, any ideas?
Thank you!

Draw a black spikes (vertically), option drag a copy, make a blend specified steps.
Copy paste in front, rotate 180 degrees, adjust position
Draw a circle on top, use as a mask.
Rotate all about 30 degrees.
