How do I stop images flickering when zooming in?

I've imported a 32bit jpeg into Director MX. I'm trying to
slowly zoom into the image, to create a slow Ken Burns style zoom
effect. When I play my movie, the image is flickering and the zoom
does not appear smooth. Does anybody know a way around this? Maybe
I'm doing something wrong...
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks.

How are you performing this zoom? Are you using keyframes
across the
score, or using Lingo?
If you are using the score, then you may want to try
different frame
rates, to see if you can smooth out the animation. You may
also be
seeing a problem with the refresh rate of your monitor.
If you are using Lingo, then you might try changing the
amount of image
size change at each step, and/or changing the frame rate to
smooth out
the animation.

Cheers Alistair

Image flickers when repainting

Hello,
I'm trying to make an applet where a line moves sideways as the slider is moved. The code below is working but the image flickers when repainting:
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Scrollbar;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class testSlider extends java.applet.Applet implements AdjustmentListener {
int w, h; // Applet width and height
Scrollbar sb;
boolean scrollChanged = false;
int xUnit, yUnit;
public void init(){
    //field variables initialization
    w = this.getSize().width ;
    h = this.getSize().height ;
    xUnit = (int) Math.round(0.1*w);
    yUnit = (int) Math.round(0.1*h);
    sb = new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL, xUnit, 1, xUnit, 9*xUnit);
    //add Scrollbar
    sb.setBounds(5, 9*yUnit,this.getWidth() -15, 15) ;
    this.setLayout(null);
    this.add(sb);
    sb.addAdjustmentListener(this ) ;
public void paint(Graphics g){
    System.out.println("paint...") ;
    g.setColor(Color.GRAY ) ;
    g.fillRect(0,0,w, h);
    g.setColor(Color.BLACK) ;
    //set new Origin
    g.translate(w/2, 8*yUnit) ;
    if (scrollChanged ) {
      g.setColor(Color.YELLOW ) ;
      g.drawLine(sb.getValue()-w/2, -7*yUnit, sb.getValue()-w/2, 0 );
//AdjustmentListener method override
public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e){
    scrollChanged=true;
    repaint();
Can someone tell me how to prevent this flickering?
Thank you very much.

g.fillRect(0,0,w, h);This needs to modify quite a few pixels so it is going to be on the slow side.
Try this: store the coordinates of the previous line you drew. When repainting, if you have drawn a line previously, first draw the old line with the background color, then draw the new line, and finally store the coordinates of the new line so you can paint over it later.
I haven't tried that myself though.
An alternate is to use double buffering. Google: java double buffering. But that may be slowish and CPU intensive because that too needs to touch a lot of pixels.

How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync with gmail

How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync my IPod Touch with Gmail?

I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

How do I stop images when selected in Bridge from automatically opening in ACR?

For no reason that I can think of, When I click on a single image in Bridge to preview or to try and select multiple images to load as layers or merge to HDR, the first image clicked opens in ACR. How can i Stop this?

The images are RAW files. When I click to select the image it immediately opens in ACR. It won't let me preview the image in Filmstrip mode as it did before. It won't allow me to select multiple images as the first image selected opens ACR.

How do I stop images being in the wrong position when I convert them to 3D shapes? (Ps CC)

I am trying to make a soda can using a label that I have drawn. Whenever I turn the image layer into a 3D soda can shape, the label stretches and is in the wrong position (only part of it is on the can), but I see no settings to adjust scaling and position of the image. How can I stop this happening? I am using Photoshop CC.

An image sequence import must start with identically sized files or the import will be based on the first image dimensions.
If your first image is 640X480 and the next image is 800X600 it will be scaled down to 640X480 at import. You also can't mix portrait and landscape images.
You could use software like Graphic Converter to "batch" export your images to the same scale.
Another method would be to use iPhoto (drag your folder of images to a new album). It can make nice slide show movies and it will "center" smaller images and scale others.

How do I stop Messages notifications when the app is closed?

Messages have an annoying tendancy to still "come through" even after I've quit the program, popping up in the right hand corner of my screen until I attend to them. How do I stop this from happening? There are many times in the day when I'd like to not receive messages from contacts/friends/families and just concentrate on work. I can turn my phone off, silence it, etc. to stop messages from coming through there, but on my computer, where I am working, turning off the device in question is not an option. With Messages on Mavericks, quitting the program doesn't seem to do the trick.

Alternative.
In Messages > Preferences > General Section.
Untick the "When I Quit, Set the Status to Off Line"
This will stop the IMAgent Support app "listening" to the servers for new messages.
It works best if there is a Buddy list account as well as iMessages (such AIM or Jabber).

I'm trying below script to display image with XML updated status checking.
But image flickering every 2sec.
how can i stop flickering without stop Timer.
var sampleId:Number = 100;
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerListener);
myTimer.start();
function timerListener(e:TimerEvent):void
          trace("Timer is Triggered");
          var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
          myLoader.load(new URLRequest("xmlfile.xml"));
          myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(e:Event):void
          myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
          for (var i:uint=0; i<myXML.*.length(); i++)
                    if (myXML.Message[i].@EventId == sampleId)
                              //trace(myXML.Message[i]);
                              if (myXML.Message[i] == "Welcome")

How do I get infinite bars when zooming in on piano roll?

When zooming in on the piano roll, the bars stop at 128th notes or something. I can add smaller values of notes, but then theres no grid to make the input accurate. Is there a setting or button within the piano roll Im missing?
Thanks, Sverre

No, there isn't.
You could use the "Quantise Time" option on the track or use a groove track to align your notes automatically.
