How to Make Hair Appear in Front of and Behind an MC Object?

Hello again,
  I am making a character with lots of hair. I would like to know how to make the hair appear both in front of and behind the Movie Clip object.
  I'll explain further. I have the "frontHair" connected to the "head" MC. When I pivot the head, a bare spot shows in an outlined shape of the arms/legs/torso. I thought I'd remedy this by making "hairBack" and then layer it behind the object. This opens up a can of troubles.
  I can't seem to get the "hairBack" to appear behind the torso and arms. Also, the "frontHair" is now blocking me from grabbing onto the arms and legs.
  It's crucial that this character has all of the hair, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it happen.
  Please, help!
Thank you,
   Mike
p.s. While returning from a beer run, I thought about masking. I'm still trying to work out the logic on this one.

Thank you for replying. II didn't know which specific layers and objects you were referring to, but I figured out the problem I was having.
  I used only one newly created "hair" object and set it to "Guide" to get it out of the way (in a sense). I then selected all the body parts (movie clips) that I could and selected "Move to Front" for each one. I used the Selection Tool to move the head (with connected hair) out of the way. After doing this I was able to select the "torso"; which was previously hidden behind the Armature Layer. I then put the head back in place and I was set to roll.
  Ah, but then I encountered another error. My animations are set to 24fps, but they are moving at least 10 times slower. This happens within Flash and in the exported swf files.
The topic deals with "text field variable names" errors and compiler errors dealing with "Symbol 'fps' ".
This is the address to that topic. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1009225
Thank you (again),

  • How to make dock appear in all monitors, and keep new windows to same monit

    I've got an unusual setup: two screens at my desk, and another one in front of a recliner nearby so that it is not physically adjacent to the other two. This means that when the cursor moves off the side of two of the monitors and goes to the third one, I can't see it. I don't want to mirror all the displays because half the time I use the two adjacent ones from the desk, and sometimes I just want to use the one separate one. Can someone tell me if it's possible to
    1) make the same dock appear in all monitors? I want access to the dock no matter which monitor I'm looking at. Is there a utility or hack that will give me a dock in each screen?
    2) any way to have apps open and create new windows in whatever monitor I'm currently working? it's very annoying that sometimes I run a app and it throws up a window in the monitor I'm not looking at. Any way to keep it to the set of two or to the 3rd one, depending on which I'm using at the time?
    thank you!

    Hi Mike, Might have a look at the bottom of this page for Dock-It 2.6.1 for Mac OS X 10.5.x and earlier...

    As far as the other problems, I'd try Mirroring #1 & #3.

    Hi Channing,
    searching the "usual suspects" I found:

    and
    Geethreeoffers some "painting" (e.g. arrows) onto the video...
    I'm sure, searching at www.virtix.com and www.imovieplugins.com, you'll find more.....

  • How to make a commentary track in iDVD and iMovie 6

    Could someone please explain how to make a commentary track using iMovie6 and iDVD? I think I will be able to import the commentary track onto the second sound track in iMovie 6 with no problem. I just can't figure out how to make it an optional track in the final DVD.

    Yes, you can put the commentary track on the second sound track in 06. You can also attach a mic and make the commentary as a recording. I will caution that you will need to depress any original sounds associated with the film so that it does not sound like a garbled mess with both tracks competing. I imagine you know how to grab the volume level line in the audio track and nudge it lower or higher?
    I also don't see any other option than including two versions of the film on the DVD. Pretty simple fix if it will fit... I would export the plain film first before adding the other audio (or you can simply uncheck one of the audio tracks while exporting to mute it).

  • How to make Nokia Suite remember the position and ...

    how to make Nokia Suite remember the position and the size i set it?
    because everytime i start it, it defaults in the middle of the screen and in the smallest possible size.
    Nokia Suite 3.3.86
    Windows Vista
    Greece Nokia X6 RM-559 v40.0.002

    Again, are you talking about genuine Nokia firmware, not any of some 3rd-party customised versions?
    For officially released firmware, you may force Nokia Suite to reinstall even if your firmware is already up to date. This feature might be missed in its GUI as its link is "hidden" in the prompt message, not on a button or highlighted with underscore. Try Nokia Suite, once the phone is connected, click the icon of Software Update on the top, then click the word "reinstall" in the prompted message.

  • How to make tornado appear at a distance in a video.

    I made an energy torndo effect with CC particle world, its on a black solid with the blend mode on screen (two weeks in learning this stuff haha). How can I add it to the video and make it appear as if its right in front of me on the far distance?

    I might also consider using a different method to create the tornado.  If you're looking for realism I'm not sure CC Particle World will do it for you.  Personally I would create this effect practically by building a tornado box, like the ones kids make for elementary school science fares.  Then I would light your tornado in a black room, and film it.  Then take it into After Effects, mask it out, flip it vertically, set the blend mode to screen and composite it using the same suggestions Rick has offered.  There are plenty of links that will show you how to create a tornado box using dry ice.  Here's the first one I found:

  • How to make some part of front panel transparent?

    There is a property node to make a front panel completly transparent...but is there anything that only makes some part of the vi transparent like if I define a decorative block in the vi which takes 1 quardant of front panel and I have a control to make it transparent during runtime...
    And moreover the frontpanel transparent property makes the whole window transparent, is there any way to retain toolbar of window like stop, run button when front panel is transparent??

    Hi,
    Have a look at this VI (attached). To make it work you need to create an image mask as a .png (open paint, colour in the areas that you want to become invisible and save it as a .png). The VI diffentiates between white areas and black areas of the mask you create, the black areas will become transparent and the white areas will remain the same- this will be implemented on your front panel. I've included an example of a possible paint image in "mask2.png".
    You may also want to play around with the resolution of the mask created in paint, this will effect how the program works (I advise you use a lower resolution than your display- I used 500x300)
    NT: If the front panel controls disappear, go into the block diagram window and attach a false constant instead of a control. Let me know if this works
    Cheers, Tom

  • How to make bookmarks appear in all user accounts w/out importing and exporting everytime.

    Hello, all. I'm imaging a couple of laptops to be sent out. I want the bookmarks on the admin user account to be applied to the network domain user accounts or roaming profile is you will. Is there a way to this without have to import/export?

    I am trying to do the same thing. I also cant get it to work. I am
    thinking it may have something to do with the concept of ScopedResponse, but
    I am not sure. There is very little documentation and more importantly
    examples of how to make sense of the getOuterResponse() method. Dev2Dev and
    Google are of no help.
    Anyone care to explain this to us?
