How to use circle as a motion guide

I want to motion tween an object along a perfect closed
circle but struggle to tell Flash to use the full circle. Instead
it does only use the shortest way (just rattling the object a bit).
Any help?

best way i know is, after making the circle - select a tiny
portion of the strok and delete it
(breaking the circle) then just motion tween from one end of
the stroke to the other.

How to use live type in motion 4

how to use live type in motion 4

There is a LiveType (or LiveFonts) content section in the Library in Motion 4 (but NOT Motion 5 - LiveType is obsolete, much to my chagrin...) - but you can still import LiveType projects into Motion 4 just as you could in Motion 3 - a simple drag'n'drop from the finder will do; or use Import from the file menu.

How to use parallel dynamic block in guided procedures!!

hi
My application is as following i have to initiate a process from a webdynpro for java application and after that i have to send the action to the multiple users..
For that i created a parallel block inside that a sequential block and inside that an action .
In my wdj coding i created a variable user and assigned this parameter for the role of that action.
But the problem is it is not going to the multiple users.
pls suggest me if there is some other solutions to do this.....
Pls give me a solution it is urgently needed

How to use a webcam with Labview8,Vision 8 in motion tracking?

I have a webcam and Labview 8, Vision Assistant Module 8, NI IMAQ for USB Cameras. What I concern is how to use a webcam in motion tracking? Should I just use Vision assistant or use it in combination with Labview? Do I need any other support?

4,
Thanks for your post. Vision Assistant is a good software package to prototype your system, but it does not give you access to all Vision methods. LabVIEW is much more powerful allowing full access to Vision. You may want to use Vision Assistant to play with the algorithms (you can use your mouse to set regions of interest, etc) and then once you find the methods and parameters that work, implement the code in LabVIEW.

How to use iCloud with my family's devices

We're an Apple household with two Apple-using parents and three Apple-using kids. We have two iPads, two iPod Touches, two iPhones and a MacBook Pro.
Up unti now, I have used all of the devices with the same Apple ID, except for my wife's iPhone and MacBook, which use a different account because I'd purchased a MobileMe account so that her address book and calendar would sync. My iPhone, on the other hand, belongs to my company and data is sync'ed using Exchange, but the AppleID is still mine, there are no special corproate controls, and the Apple ID and apps I purchase belong to me.
Should I simply migrate my wife to my AppleID, and use iCloud to sync her phone with the MacBook Pro, and leave everything else as-is? Then we will have a single AppleID for everything, and her Calendar and Address book will sync between her two devices, and FindMyiPhone will find everything with a single login? Are there any limits with using all of these iDevices on a single account?
Thanks!

Motion Guide + AS3

I'm designing a game in which a player rides a bike around a
track. The game needs to show a "lap indicator" that displays the
player's progress along an irregularly-shaped course.
I'm guessing the best way to do this will be to copy the
layer that has the course outline and use that as a Motion Guide,
then move the indicator along that guide? Should I use the
flash.motion.Animator class to do this?
I also would really like to have the position indicator
"turn" as it goes along the route, i.e. a triangle that always
points in the direction of travel. I think I can do it like this:
* determine the indicator's x and y before moving it,
* moving to the next frame,
* finding the new x and y,
* then figure out which direction it moved horizontally and
vertically, the ratio between the two, then convert this to a
rotation angle. So if it moved to right horizontally, but didn't
move vertically, that's 90 degrees; if it moved equally down and
left that's 225 degrees, etc.
Or is there an easier way to do this?

OK, it seems I was a bit confused, "orient to path" is what
I'm looking for here. I thought that option merely indicated that
the object should use the motion guide, but it actually rotates it
to "look where it's going" instead. Perfect!

How to Use NDS Tool and create a very simple application

Hi All,
Today i have Installed NDS on my machine,but i dont know
how to use it,is there any guide inside NDS which gives me step by step procedure to create a simple application.
Can any link help me know about this.version of NDS is 2.0.9.Is this latest one?
I am pretty confused about NDS and PDK,if NDS can be used to develop java apllications ,then whats the need of PDK at all?
Thanks in Advance
Rani A

Hi Rani,
The Portal Development Kit (<b>PDK</b>) provides documentation and examples with source code to demonstrate how to develop portal applications and portal content for the SAP NetWeaver Portal using the <b>SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio</b>.
PDK includes coding examples on the following topics:
*Creating Portal Components and Portal Services,Portal Profiles,Resources,Internationalization,Portal Beans,Page Builder,EPCF,Application Integrator,Connector Framework,Portal Navigation,Object Based Navigation,Transformation Service,User Management etc
PDK is for deployment for portal application, has very good documentation of portal development, contains sample application, Java Docs for all the apis for portal and KM and plugins for eclipse(which you don't need if you are using NWDS). It is basically a nice help for developer along with an iviews for uploading par and testing them.
In EP 6.0 it is just business package that you import to your portal. This will then give a "java development" role in portal which can be assigned to users. The role will then create a tab called "Java Development" in the top navigation and click on it you can see all the contents underneath.
If u want to see the application on which an iview is based on import that par file into NWDS.
Regards,
Pooja.

How to use imported paths from Photoshop/Illustrator as motion guides

Hi folks,
I've been raking the internet with no success for an answer to my question, but I've had no luck so far.
What I'm hoping to achieve animation wise is to have a shape move around a set path that was created in Photoshop. The reason being, it's a very specific shape (near enough a square but with curved corners and a chunk missing out of one of the sides), and I used the paths feature in Photoshop to create it and stroke the path for the smoothest possible effect. What I'd ideally like to do is import the same path I used to create the shape into Flash Professional CS6 and then use that same path to guide a small symbol around the edge of the square.
So far, I've worked out how to apply motion to a symbol through basic tweens, and then I can draw out a line using the pencil tool and apply that to the tween so it follows the pencil line instead of just going from point A to point B. The problem is, this looks awful...I'm not good enough with a mouse to create absolutely perfect shapes freehand, so I just want to be able to use the Photoshop path as my motion guide instead of having to make another one from scratch.
I've looked around for various importing methods, the most success I've had is exporting the paths to an Illustrator file, and then importing the Illustrator file into Flash directly. However, I have NO idea where these paths go when they're imported, or how to access them. If I import them to the stage, they seemingly disappear before I've even seen them, and if I import them to the library they just aren't there.
I could also do with a brief description of how paths work in Flash - I'm familiar with the Photoshop layout, what with the paths appearing in a panel next to the layers one (makes perfect sense to me, as you can just switch between the two panels to view whatever you want). I just don't understand how they work in Flash and what I should be looking for....
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Todd

I had a play around with some variations of this. What I can't grasp is why Flash won't recognise my shape layer as a motion path. I've tried breaking it down, that doesn't work... I traced it narrowly in Photoshop and imported it as a thin line with a gap (so essentially a line with two ends), and it comes into Flash as a bitmap or something of that sort. I found an option that traces the bitmap, and appears to convert it into a shape layer...I've managed to find the optimal settings so the line is joined all the way through apart from the start and end points. The only thing is, Flash seems to not even notice this as a guide layer when I apply it to the symbol I'm trying to animate. It just doesn't even notice it's there. The object moves straight from point A to point B in a straight line, the guide layer does nothing to adjust the motion... Is it not possible for the traced line to act as a motion guide? It's a shape, it is a single line with a start point and an end point, and there are no other instances of anything else in the layer - just the line and nothing else.
This seems way more difficult than it should be...I'm sure Adobe could have integrated a MUCH easier system for importing paths from Photoshop that actually exist in Flash rather than disappearing into some abyss instead!
Here is a screenshot of what I'm working with: http://gyazo.com/4c1046767e1ee8bf99f65751b9ba81b8
The long black oval is the shape I'm trying to animate. I've tried applying tweens to it while it's in shape form and while it's in every different symbol form, all to no avail.
The black line is what I'm trying to use as the guide. Having looked online, people seem to be able to just use the "paste in place" option and it somehow knows exactly what they mean and animates around the line perfectly. I tried that and it didn't work (no surprise there), and then I tried the motion guide layer setup and it also didn't work. I'm not sure if tracing a bitmap into a shape layer somehow removes any possibility of the line being recognisable as a line or something...could that be the case?
Is there a simple way to turn a shape layer (in this case the black line) into a motion guide that I'm missing? I thought just turning the layer into a guide layer would do the trick, but obviously not :/

How to use Analog out with a 7330/7604 motion setup.

Hello:
I am using a NI 7330 motion controller and a MID-7604 driver. I would like to use the Analog Output of the MID-7604 driver. Ideally, we would use an actual DAQ, but we don't want to purchase hardware for a one-time use kind of thing.
The driver has Analog outputs, but I can not find any documentation on how to use them. I understand that it may be due to the 7330 controller not supporting the functionality, but, again, I have not found any documentation to support this. Does anyone know how to access and use the Analog outputs? I want to be able to send a variable 0-1 V signal from an Analog output. Any ideas?

Well, in fact this is documented:
MID-760x User Guide:
The analog output terminal block provides access to four digital-to-analog converter channels with ±10V output range and analog output ground.
With this information and the pinout of the 7330 you could tell that there are no AO channels available in this configuration but I agree 100% with you that sometimes it's quite hard to decrypt this type of information from our documentation .We should provide more explicit information about which features are implemented in the controllers and which features are part of the peripherals (MIDs, UMIs).

How to use the path generated by A star to guide the robot to move?

I now know how to use A star path planning on Voronoi and I can run this program successfully.\
however, my problem now is how i can use the path data (generated by the A* path planning algorithm) to guide the robot to drive along this path? well, i suppose i can get a series of dots (denoted by x and y coordinates) from the path, and use these dots to guide the robot ?
can anyone please help?
thank you very much
