How to make animations less chopy? opinions, advice require

Hi guys ive been using flex now for about 2 years. Love flex dont have to much to complaint about it is extremely flexible however i have one simple question that i just dont quite understand and im hoping someone here can shed some light. Picture this. I have a grid and a call to a webservice. when i click on the grid item it makes a call to the webservice once the webservice returns the array of items i want to play an animation. But what i have noticed is that at the point the dataprovider is assign to the grid the application basically freezes. This is due to the fact that by assining the dataprovider to the grid flex internally is looping the colletction and passing it to the grid. Well if you are trying to play and animation while the dataprovider is being assignt the animation gets choppy... is there any techniques around this? I would really love to hear about how other people have overcomed this challenge or I'm i the only idiot thats dealing with this.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Miguel

If you use XML to get data from the server, then unmarshalling of data to create objects takes a heavy toll on the processor.
If you use Blaze DS or LCDS, deserialization from binary data is a breeze and it doesn't hit the processor as much.
Now, if you don't want to change your service, consider using TimeSlicing:

How to make animated blood in Photoshop CS6?

I am wondering how I can make animated blood using Photoshop CS6. I have looked for tutorials and can't find anything. I want to make a render look like it's crying blood, so the blood would be running down the cheeks and dripping off the chin. Please help!

There isn't going to be really an automated way of doing this. Animation in Photoshop is very simple. You can basically animate just position and scale (also Layer Effects, but that generally isn't as helpful). You could, of course, hand animate this by drawing each individual frame like traditional animation. Each frame of animation would be a separate layer and you could animate the layer visibility. Or you could draw the last frame of blood flow on one layer and animate a mask that slowly reveals the blood trail.

The akamai servers are used by a lot of web servers to store large files (e.g. images and media files)
A domain with fbstatic in it is likely a domain that is used by Facebook (fb), so you may have other problems if you stay on such a web page or get redirected
If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

How to make Forms less dependent of client PC ? (Best Practice?)

Hello,
We are on Forms 10g (and I also noticed the same pb with previous versions)
We built quite big applications that use Webutil and jInitiator (not Java plugin)
The application is used via Web only.
At the deploiement of the applications, we experienced many difficulties due to specific configuration of Internet Explorer (or another browser, Firefox) of each one person of the company
I suppose this situation has also been experienced by others...
Do you have any suggestion of best practices for making such application less dependent of the client PC configuration ?
Thanks in advance,
Olivier

Try to use http, i don't thing direct open the socket can pass throught the socket if your proxy haven't forward those ports~
Hi All,
I have problems with my applet working through
gh proxy.I am using a client applet which makes a
socket connection to a Java application running on the
same pc as the web server.
Everything works fine when I am directly
ly connected.However it does't work when connected
through a proxy? I am using object o/p & i/p streams
for the exchange of data b/w client applet & the
server java application.How do I overcome this
problem.
Currently I am using WinGate 3.0.2 as my proxy(I
(I did't see any firewaal setting there) but I intend
to make applet work through any proxy for that
matter.Using a higher level protocol such as UDP would
help in this regard?i think UDP/TCP is not the matter for that!
This is urgent.PLease reply ASAP...
best rgds,
prithvi

How to Make Animated GIF from Layer Comps?

Have CS3 on XP.
I have 15 Layer Comps created the way I like them...How do I make an Animated Gif or animated PNG from the Layer Comps?
Id Like Each Layer of the animation to be one of the Layer Comps... so it shows the progression of the frames built from 1st to last.
Thanks
Suzzie

I'm not sure off hand since I rarely ever have used layer comps, but I believe you need to flatten them before being able to use them in an animation...

How to make animations float with transparent background

I am taking a graduate course in adv. web design for an ed
tech program at a university. Neither my instructor nor anyone else
in my class knows how to get Flash animations to have a transparent
background, or even if this is possible. On behalf of us all, I am
wondering if it is possible to create a Flash animation without a
background--or with a transparent background, and then superimpose
it onto a web page so that the web page's background shows through
all but the animated part. We are using Flash 8. If it is possible,
can someone please tell us how to do it? I have seen web pages
where the animations float over the web page. Are these animations
made with Flash or with another program? Thank you!

Yes, it's easy, but haven't done it for a while, and not
since all the new ActiveX stuff on MS IE requires Java Script to
make the dotted outline go away.
To do it well takes a combination of Flash with the
publish-settings HTML Window Mode set to Transparent Windowless,
and tightly-designed CSS with your animation positioned in a div
that lies or overlays the exact place on the HTML page where you
want it. You can even have it scale to the entire visible window,
which can be quite cool. I did one for the holidays with snow
falling over an HTML page. It can block lnks from working, though,
so you can have the div (and animation) disappear when the
animation is done.

How to make animated media?

How to make animated drop down menu responsive?

Hi
I've made an animated drop down menu in Edge Animate. It works fine at 945px wide with drop downs coming from 4 of the links. When the window is resized to 700px I want to reduce the 8 top links down to 4 and have longer drop downs and the same again at 400px wide. How do I do this as Edge has no media queries. do I use symbols?
Thanks.

Hi garyt88,
Found something that could help although I have to admit that I have not tried it myself.

How to make animated flash charting?

Hi
I am trying to use the flash chart components. How can I
create an animated chart.
Regards.

This is way too general a question - flash has its own set of
drawing tools or you can import
graphics - tell us what you are trying to animate and be
specific.

How to make logo less prominent on black MacBook

Has anyone had a go at making the Apple logo black or charcoal on the black MacBook? I'm thinking about getting the black model because the matte finish looks a little more durable but the garish looking white logo is a put off.

Has anyone had a go at making the Apple logo black or charcoal on the black
MacBook? I'm thinking about getting the black model because the matte
finish looks a little more durable but the garish looking white logo is a put off.
Wow this is the first post stating that they didn't like the white apple on the black mac. Different strokes for different folks.
The white macbook's logo (white on white) is probably less noticable as there's less contrast. There is no way to dim the logo as its lit from the lcd back light.
I believe the white MB's enclosure is more durable and less likely to show abuse. I compared both side by side and I thought the white was better in that respect. I love the black one and how it looks but the durable finish was one of my major points that I wanted a MB for.

How to make animation loop smoothly

http://dietzclublambs.com/
The Flash on this site shows scrolling pictures on the home
page. When it comes to the end, you'll see it stops abruptly and
restarts at the beginning.
Any suggestions for a way to make it look like a seamless
transition from the end back to the beginning and keep the images
continuously scrolling?

You need to create a duplicate of the row of images and on
the last frame, position the images as they are in the first frame.
You may need to nudge the duplicate slightly to get a smooth
transition but the general idea is to utilize 2 sets of images so
that the last and first image seem to be back to back. Hope this
makes sense.

Changing format of all graphics files is very cumbersome - how to make it less so?

Hello,
This problem is happening in FM 8, running on Windows XP.
I have recently converted all the image files referenced in a book, from one format to another. When I open a chapter (.fm) file in that book, FM looks for the graphic file that has been referenced in the first frame it finds (I import all graphics by reference). It opens a navigation dialog so I can locate the missing file, at which time I select the new file instead. Unfortunately, I have to do this over and over, for each graphic referenced by the FM file. Isn't there a way for me to tell FM to look for the same base filename, but with a new extension? A default file type for imported files? Is there a way to modify the .fm file itself to change the reference to the imported graphics? Having to tell FM the new filename for every graphic in the book is cumbersome and time-consuming (and I will be doing the same thing for about 75 manuals!). If FM can remember the location of an imported file and look for subsequent files in the new location, can't it do something similar for file types?
Compounding this problem is the fact that when the navigation dialog opens, the files in the current folder are automatically listed in "List" form, and are not in alphabetical order. If there are many graphics in that folder, it takes extra time to hunt for the desired file, so I usually change the listing format to "Detail" and then sort on "Name". But even that takes time. Are there defaults I could set so that the folder's contents are listed in the navigation dialog in the format I choose? I'm not even sure whether this is a FrameMaker or a Windows issue, so I don't know where to look for option settings. (I have poked around in FM options dialogs, and also the help files, but haven't found any references to this.)
Help with even one of these would save me a lot of time.
Thank you!
Joyce Wermont

Error7103 -
Thank you for a quick response. I just tried this, and it seemed to work - I was able to edit the .mif file and change all the format extensions. Then I opened the .mif in FM and it looked OK, it loaded the correct graphic files automatically, and there didn't appear to be any scaling problems. But when I tried to save it as an FM doc file, it wouldn't allow that. Error message: "Filenames ending in .mif cannot be saved in Document format". I used Save As, btw. But it didn't work with plain Save either.
It sounds like you've been successful in saving .mif to .fm - any tips? Again, I'm using FM 8.
Thanks,
Joyce

How to make OO ALV Grid cell is required on data_changed?

Hi all,
I want to make grid cell is required on data_change method. I have two fields dependent each other, so i insert a value on a field, the other field should be obligatory.
I have tried to solve this with "add_protocol_entry" method. But i don't want to display message log. The second field should be drawn with red border.
My sample code is below:
LOOP AT p_data_changed->mt_good_cells INTO ls_good_cells.
 CASE ls_good_cells-fieldname.
 WHEN 'FIELD1' .
 CASE p_sender.
 WHEN g_grid.
 CALL METHOD p_data_changed->get_cell_value
 EXPORTING
 i_row_id = ls_good_cells-row_id
 i_fieldname = ls_good_cells-fieldname
 IMPORTING
 e_value = lv_variable.
*-- On this area the second field should be drawn with red border.
 ENDCASE.
 ENDCASE.
 ENDLOOP.
I'm waiting for your helps.

Gutten Tag,
I have an idea, how about that you add one more field in your table structure for obtain information about color about each cell. such as "color TYPE lvc_t_scol " and then in your lvc_s_layo, you should fill CTAB_FNAME = 'COLOR'.
Insert this code into your program. (it's a template)
READ TABLE itab WITH KEY <k1> = ..... ASSIGNING <fs>.
APPEND INITIAL LINE TO <fs>-COLOR ASSIGNING <fs_l>.
 <fs_l>-fname = 'XXX' . "字段名
 <fs_l>-color-col = 6.
 <fs_l>-color-int = 1.
 <fs_l>-color-inv = 0 .
