How to hide TOC during movie loading

Hi All,
Is there a way to hide TOC (rendered outside of the main clip) during movie loading? I wanted TOC to appear either as the whole clip is loaded or when the first slide is opened.
Any suggestions, please?
Thank you
Andy

I have just tried to do this today actually but was unsuccessful.
I wanted to disable the possibility of the user to navigate from the TOC before the entire course had loaded. I have some information on the first slide that I want the user to see, but now they can just skip by clicking a link in the TOC before all the content has been loaded.
Initially I thought that the variable cpLockTOC could be used to atleast disable the TOC interaction since the decription is "Enables/ disables user interaction on TOC". However, no matter what I tried it didn't work.
I tried to set the variable directly in Captivate on the first slide, but the TOC is actually loaded before the first slide so that was unsuccessful.
The I tried to set the variable through JavaScript from the HTM file, but that didn't help either.Navigation through the TOC is still possible even though the course haven't finished loading yet.
I can manipulate the TOC from within the Captivate movie by embedding some special Flash "animations" / Widgets I have. These can send commands to the TOC and for example open / close the TOC if you are using the overlay mode. They can also hide / show the standard overlay button, which isn't exactly pretty. I'm pretty sure that I could make a Flash file that would hide the TOC completely when run from within Captivate, but it won't help me because the content in the Captivate movie isn't loaded until after the TOC has loaded.
Manish - what is the function of the cpLockTOC variable? Isn't it to disable/enable the users interaction with the TOC alltogether? If so can this variable not be set from the HTM file on load?

How to hide/show and move screenelements at runtime

Hi Guys
    Currently, i have a requirment that, in the same screen, when user choose different different option in the dropdown list, there should be different screenelements and table control with different columns showing below it.
Now, i have two plans below:
1), hide/show and move position of screen elements and table control at runtime
2), call different subscreen
I hope i can take the first way since the second way will modify structure of program ( As it is infotype screen ), any one knows how to implement the first solution?

Hi,
I would suggest you to call different subscreens and load them dynamically based on your parameters.Since different subscreen are called your coding and functionality could also be seperated by writing in the PAI and PBO of the correspondiong Screens.
if you have decided to go by your first method then try the below code.
a) if it is normal UI elements like text box etc
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF <var> = ' value '.
        screen-invisible = '0'.
        MODIFY SCREEN.
endif
ENDLOOP.
Here <var> refers to the screen field name and value refers to its value.
b) To hide columns in a Table control.
DATA cols LIKE LINE OF tc-cols.
LOOP AT tc-cols INTO cols.
    IF cols-screen-group1 = 'G1'.
      cols-invisible = 'X'. "HIDE THIS COLUMN
      MODIFY tc-cols
      FROM cols
      TRANSPORTING invisible.
    ENDIF.
    CLEAR cols.
ENDLOOP.
PS: here TC refers to the name of the table control.
Lemme know if you face any problems.
Cheers,
RK

Hide buttons when movie loads and then show

I have a movie that loads another video. When it goes to
video by hitting button
I can hide buttons underneath.
When I unload the movie, I need the buttons to show up again
and clickable.
I added the onEnterFrame, but makes no difference.
Can someone help as to how I can bring the buttons back when
movie that was loaded is unloaded?
Thank you in advance.

> onEnterFrame(_root.VideoBtn.enabled._visible = true);
Where did you find that syntax? It's incorrect, check the
docs..
However, I don't why you would do that, all that will do is
make sure it's never invisible.
To make the visible again, you do the same thing you did to
make them invisible -- you set the _visible property to true,
wherever you are unloading the movie.

How to hide layers or movies using Action Script

Hi All,
I am using a few layers and would like to hide a specific
layer using action scripts - I guess I dont mind doing it as a
movie clip too (hiding the movide clip).
Also I am interested in controling the final *.swf via an
external command to hide that layer or movie clip. How do I do
that?
Thanks in advance,
Steven

rsagi: Layers are only layers while you are editing the fla.
When compiled, layers are merged. I think the best way would be to
use movieclips as containers and hide the "container movieclips".
jlucchesi: from fl8_as2lr.pdf:
"The alpha transparency value of the movie clip. Valid values
are 0 (fully transparent) to 100
(fully opaque). The default value is 100. Objects in a movie
clip with _alpha set to 0 are
active, even though they are invisible. For example, you can
still click a button in a movie clip
whose _alpha property is set to 0. To disable the button
completely, you can set the movie
clip's _visible property to false."

How to hide ToC in the body of an ebook?

Hey folks, I have kind of a weird query. Keep in mind that everything I know about InDesign I've taught myself over the past month, so I may be missing somethng major.
As part of an internship I'm creating ebooks, and have to make sure the ones I create look the same as ebooks previously created for my employer (better yet, I've had to do so from scratch!). In their previous ebooks (EPUB file format) the table of contents displayed by the ereader makes it clear a specific TOC style was used to create it (it has headings and subheadings, so it's not just the default style that pulls from file names) BUT there is NO table of contents anywhere within the body of the ebook itself. There's also no blank page where a TOC might be hidden with a hidden layer.
I've created a TOC style to match theirs, but I can't get it to show up in the TOC Styles dropdown menu when I go to export the Book file to EPUB unless the TOC document is also included in the Book file, and as I said, I can't have the TOC in the body of the ebook itself, just in the menu displayed by an ereader.
Any advice?

No, I haven't tried either of those fixes yet, but I will. Not sure how to save as IDML but I'll find a tutorial for it somewhere.
Is it relevant to those troubleshooting techniques that I'm running a trial version of InDesign?
@Ellis home, yes, I have tried exporting the ebook and the TOC only shows up as the Default style (so the file names show up as the TOC), which is the only style available in the TOC Styles dropdown menu right now.

Can iTunes hide just one movie or video?

Hello,
If you are a family that shares a single computer then there are times when you would like to purchase a movie or TV show to keep in your iTunes library, but not allow younger members of the family to play or even see the title. I don't want to hide the entire movie category because the kids have movies in there, but I don't want them to have access to movies that are R rated. Any ideas on how to hide a single movie or two without locking the entire movies section?
Duane

Apple has already thought of a solution to your comment. They have a section under preferences called Parental control.
Parental controls is for downloading (its a store preference). It has nothing to do with the library and is intended to be use in tandium with multiple accounts so that multiple accounts can share one 1TMS account or A parent can create a second more restricted account for a child.
I don't think iTunes was designed to work in a media center configuration the way you have it.
Bottom line, Having multiple accounts is the way to do what you want.

How can I compress my movie dvds on mac and load to ipad 2?

Help? Newbie iPad2 owner and trying to figure out how to get my DVD movies compressed (on my 2009 Mac desktop) to load onto my ipad2. Curious to know not only which programs I need or what to do, but also step by step (I'm sooo confused)
thank you!!

You'll need to get an application that makes your dvd's into avi files. Google that.
Once you have AVI files then get the app for VLC on ipad. It'll come up as an app that can handle storage in itunes. Then import your avi's and you'll now have your video on your ipad.

How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't, but you have a few alternatives.
Best option: If you made the movie on the DVD in iMovie (or even another editing application) and still have the project, go back to the project and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
Next best option: If you still have the original movie that you put on the DVD, open it in QuickTime and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
Worst option: Use something like Mpegstreamclip (Quicktime Mpeg2 playback component required) to convert the DVD to h264.

I have a lot of movies on my itunes library,when I sync my ipad2, how can I select which movies to load on the ipad?

How do I choose which movies to load into my ipad from my itunes library? Seems like everytime I sync, it loads up all the movies I have in my itunes library.

When connected to your computer's iTunes, select the iPad 'device' on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then on the right-hand side on its films/movies tab just select the films that you want to sync and then click the Sync button at the bottom.

How to debug a transfer rule during data load?

I am conducting a flat file (excel sheet saved as a CSV file) data load. The flat file contains a date field and the value is '12/18/1988'. In transfer rule for this field, I use a function call to transfer this value to '19881218' which corresponds to BW DATS format, but the monitor of the InfoPackage shows red error:
"Value '1981218' of characteristic 0DATE is not a number with 000008 spaces".
Somehow, the last digit or character of the year 1988 was cut and the year grabbed is 198 other than 1988. The function code is (see below in between two * lines):
FUNCTION ZDM_CONVERT_DATE.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(CHARDATE) TYPE STRING
*" EXPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(DATE) TYPE D
DATA:
c_date(2) TYPE c,
c_month(2) TYPE c,
c_year(4) TYPE c,
c_date_combined(8) TYPE c.
data: text(10).
text = chardate.
search text for '/'.
if sy-fdpos = 1.
concatenate '0' text into text.
endif.
c_month = text(2).
c_date = text+3(2).
c_year = text+6(4).
CONCATENATE c_year c_month c_date INTO c_date_combined.
date = c_date_combined.
ENDFUNCTION.
Could experts here tell me what's wrong and also tell me on how to debug a transfer rule during data load?
Thanks

hey Bhanu/AHP,
I find the reason. Originally, I set the character length for the date InfoObject ZCHARDAT1 to 9, then I find the date field value (12/18/1988)length is 10. Then I modified the InfoObject ZCHARDAT1 length from 9 to 10 and activated it already. But when defining the transfer rule for this field, before the code screen, click the radio button "Selected Fields" and pick the filed /BIC/ZCHARDAT1, then continue to go to the transfer rule code screen, but find the declaration lines for the infoObject /BIC/ZCHARDAT1 is as following:
InfoObject ZCHARDAT1: CHAR - 000009
    /BIC/ZCHARDAT1(000009) TYPE C,
That means even if I've modified the length to 10 for the InfoObject and activated it, but somehow the transfer rule code screen always takes the old length 9. Any idea to have it fixed to take the length 10 in the transfer rule code screen defination?
Thanks

HT203167 I ordered and paid for a movie without being on wifi or connected to my laptop. I have not been able to down load the movie that I paid for so how do I get it down loaded?

I have a couple of questions. I down loaded a movie when I was not hooked up to wifi or connected to my laptop. I was charged for the movie but I have not been able to down load it or find it anywhere in my account.
Question:
1. Where do I find this movie and how do I get it down loaded to my I Pad?
When I signed in to ask this question I had to go through a lot of sign in problems and also create a user name that is completely different that any of the sing in information that I have used previously. Which create a lot of questions:
1. Why did I have to create a user name that I never had to do before?
2. Will this change the sign in process in the future?
I will appreciate the answers to these questions
Thank you very much.

yes it could well do if your bank thinks there is something going on that is not from you they will block it. I have had this problem before, I would of thought they would of phoned me but they don't do that.
If I was you I would go to my bank make sure they are not doing anything like that. If they say it's all fine then i would phone up apple them self or go into my local apple store, as they should be able to look at what there servers are saying why it's not working.

How do I separate short movie clips loaded from my digital camera to iPhoto 11 at the same time pics are downloaded and how do I get those video clips to a dvd that will play on a dvd player

When loading pics to iphoto 11 from my camera, occassionaly it will include some video clips with the description of Movxxxx. I wonder if someone could direct me to some straight forward instructions as to how to transfer these video (movie) clips, which now exist in iphoto, to a dvd that will play on a dvd player as one might expect to see a video play, including the audio that was captured at the time of filming.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer this novice.

You need to open iMovie and it will have a event library called iPhoto Videos, click on that and the videos will load in the window next to it, then you make a new project in iMovie. Then open iDVD and make a new project then import the movies to the program then burn to a DVD..

You would need to go to the computer containing the book.
Select the saved book in the Collection panel.
Go to Grid View [ G ] and select all the images [Cmd/Ctrl][A]
File>Export as Catalog and store on media you can use to transfer
Bring this catalog onto your computer
File>Import from another catalog and bring the transitory catalog into your master catalog.
It should bring the images, your collections (including your book) and other settings into your own catalog.

Hi, I just watched a Collin Smith How to Hide a Face with AE video. I'm stuck on mask movement size

I created the mask successfully and I can get it to follow the face while hiding it... but as the person moves away, I'd like to change the mask to a smaller size to avoid covering more than the head.
Here's the video: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/no-stupid-questions-with-colin-smith/how-to-hide-a-face-in-after -effects/
Here's the question I left for Collin Smith:
Hi, your video was extremely clear and I followed along well. My one question is... what if the person moves closer and further away. When the person is close my mask is perfect, but as they move away it becomes too large and covers shoulders and back. Is there anyway to adjust the size of the mask like we do the position as he moves? Thanks again.

AE Basics
Keyframe the mask path.
