How would I create a crowd scene?

Alright, Lets say I have guy A walking (
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d145/Trebor321/Walk1.swf
No problem right? Okay, now lets add a couple more folks. (
http://s34.photobucket.com/albums/d145/Trebor321/?action=view&current=walk2.swf
Now you see how it slows down? Now imagine that with even
more people, and people that aren't carbon copies as well as an
actual background, and it slows to about 12 FPS(right now it's at
23). Any way to avoid that? I'm open to anything, thanks a bunch.

The fact of the matter is that the more things going on in a
SWF, the more strain on the processor. A truly animated crowd scene
in Flash is pretty impossible. As the reply above said, if you want
to do this at all, you must simplify the vector art to the bare
minimum (no crease lines in the trousers, no gradients, no blurs or
other filters). You also have to look for ways to cheat. For
example, by the time you get around 5 rows back, the characters
should be solid silhouettes of various hues (not just tinted
versions of your character, but separately animated solid-fill
movie clips). This slightly reduces processor strain, and serves to
frame your foreground characters nicely. Any distant characters
should be just a vaguely moving mass, with semicircles popping in
and out to give an impression of movement. This makes sense
aesthetically as well. Take a look at animated productions for
broadcast, and also most computer games: the further away an object
(especially an animated character) is, the less detail is
shown.

How would I create buttons states for MCs I am creating abstract MCs

I am creating a generic website that would have abstract MCs that would load jpg or TXT fields for the user interface to allow for fast updates to the site. The MCs that would make up the user interface would be empty and load things into it using XML or PHP later on. How would I create button states for the user interface MCs. I started creating a function for every MC button state but I thought there might be a more efficient way.
would creating a array help in this case?
and is using URLRequest the way to link to pages with in a movie well the flash movie that is the site it's self?

click insert/new symbol, tick movieclip, assign a name, tick export for actionscript and in the class textfield enter a name (say ButtonClass) and click ok.
attached to the first frame of your new movieclip, type stop() in the actions panel. put whatever graphic you want on-stage for your button's up stage. create another keyframe, label it "over" and put whatever graphic you want for button's over state on-stage.
in a layer above those graphics, you'll probably want to add a dynamic textfield so each of your buttons can have different text. assign the textfield and instance name (say tf) and extend its timeline to the last frame of your movieclip button.
then when you want to create a button, on your timeline you can use:
var b:ButtonClass=new ButtonClass(); // these two lines need to be entered for each button
buttonhandlerF(b,someX,someY);
//-------code between dotted lines only needs to be entered once no matter how many buttons you add --------------------
function buttonhandlerF(b:ButtonClass,x:Number,y:Number){
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,overF);
b.addEventListener(MouseEVent.MOUSE_OUT,outF);
b.x=x
b.y=y
addChild(b);
function overF(e:MouseEvent){
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop("over");
function outF(e:MouseEvent){
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
//-------code between dotted lines only needs to be entered once --------------------
// you'll also want to create a click listener and listener function
the code between the dotted lines is amenable to being added to a ButtonClass.as class file if want to expand your capabilities.

How would you create a read/display only applicaiton montior role for SRM

Hello,
I was hoping to get some insight on how to create a display/read only SRM Application monitor role. This role would be used by our Service Desk to perform basic trouble shooting before escalating. Currently in our system it is tied into a tab named SAP Administration and has the capability of doing more than read. How do you create a read version of this to only display the application monitoring in read mode? We currently have an SRP role that has the followiing auths below. Would a EPP portal role need to be created and if so how> Thank you for any assistance.

How would I create an USB Barcode Scanner Listener using Adobe AIR?

I want to create a USB barcode scanner listener that would read in the scanned barcode, and place the barcode in a field in my AIR App even if the program wasn't focused on that particular field in the App. If the client was using the application at the time for something else the scan would be buffered in AIR till requested or the AIR App has been idle for x period of time where upon the field would be brought into focus.
How would I go about this (I'm developing on windows) Was hoping for a USB solution within AIR but not fussy at all if I have to go outside AIR to solve this problem. Java, Flex, ActionScript, Flash, C, C++, C#, VB (currently I've developed the rest of the App using Adobe AIR and JavaScript)
I thought after some research that I could make a Java App (if all else fails) that listens and buffers the input and passes it along using a socket but JUSB doesn't work on Windows properly.
I'm not stuck on any one particular implementation or idea just want to get development underway so... Any ideas? or suggestions would be awesome. I've googled a lot but haven't found any examples or solid suggestions, so any URL pointing to that information would be great too, if you know of a good one, then I'd be able to read up on any suggestion.
Thanks,
Marty

Thanks Joe,
Just for anyone else. I bought a Metologic Scanner - VoyagerCG. I was trying to get it to work using Java USB for a bit with no luck. But if you get this scanner or one like it, it can be configured as a Virtual COM Port. Which is very very easy in Java to set up as a listener and use sockets to transfer the data and listen within AIR.
This PDF has links to drivers and instructions if this is useful to anyone.

How would i create dynamic categories.

http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/flexbook/
http://www.rubenswieringa.com/blog/flex-book-component-beta
I am trying to create a dynamic flipbook, the first one i
ever made in flex is here.
http://proof7.com/holiday2008/
Now I am trying to create a book with a few different
categories. 8 to be specific.
How would I go about creating a book with sub categories that
will allow me to click a menu or button, to flip to the next
category, but the actual page contents be dynamic?
The other members of my team say that it can be achieved
through XML, but I havent seen any examples showing how to
dynamically generate pages from the DB. Some say use the URLloader.
The code is from the QS version. I like this one because it
has the zoom but I have to figure out how to get it to talk with
the backend first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How would I create old, glitchy like effects like these ones?

Recently, there have been some teasers coming out on Snap-chat for an upcoming video game that feature some creepy, hypnotic, and cool effects. They can be found here:
Black Ops 2 has been updated with viral marketing for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 - UPDATE 12 | Charlie INTEL
And I was wondering if there were any experts on here who would know how to recreate these things in premiere. For instance that overlay over the video, those lines over the video, that make it look almost like its a CRT TV screen being externally filmed. Or the static etc.
If anyone could link me to other assets that I can use to just mess up video and make it look, I don't know, any type of visual artifacting or 80s/90s video tropes/effects, or even earlier. I'm open to anything. I'm attempting to make this film into a very similar style as those quick teasers.
Also I do understand that I am limiting things here by making this a premiere thing. But I am a completely lost child trying to land on the moon when it comes to After Effects, so keep this premiere please. I do understand this kind of limits this stuff to mostly overlays or presets or other things that are for the most part already created. But im open to anything.
Thanks and I hope you guys have some good ideas.
TJ

to further encourage your creativity:
you can also export screenshots of your video and manipulate them, then reimport them and play with blending modes and/or mattes...
Did you know that you can manipulate and distort image files by opening them in a text or audio editor?
(for the latter you may have to change the file extension to .txt or another text format... then back to .tiff or jpg)
Here's some ideas:

or for a cheap quick and easy way, throw your jpg screenshots through here:

How would I create a desktop shortcut for one of my bookmarks?

What I would like to do is access one of my bookmarks straight from my desktop. I think I need to create a shortcut in order to do this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Sorry misunderstood
Here's solution
You can use Firefox to create a shortcut on your computer's desktop to a page you've visited:Resize the Firefox window so you can see both your computer's desktop and the Firefox window on the same screen.Click the icon on the left of the Location bar, i.e. where the web address (URL) is shown.While still holding the mouse button down, move the pointer to the desktop, then release the mouse button. The shortcut will be created.You can also drag and drop items to the desktop from the Bookmarks menu and the Library window to create shortcuts.If you open the shortcut you made, your default browser will open, and display the page for which you made the shortcut. If you want to make Firefox your default browser, see How to make web links open in Firefox by default.In addition, there may be third-party Firefox extensions that can help you. For more information on searching for and installing extensions, see Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox.Share this article: http://mzl.la/O8wQKO

How would I create a wheel shape

Hi, I am new to Illustrator
I was wondering how I would create this shape in Illustrator CS3
I have scanned this in in Photoshop but it ain't pretty. I need a clean full version with no gaps and slightly rounded corners. I would be grateful if someone could take the time to explain step by step. Thanks in anticipation

Pie Chart Method this will give you a general idea it requires expanding and use of the another ellipse and deleting path segments.
It is a long story but takes only about ten minutes because you will make some mistakes. And in the end I outlined the strokes
Here is the transform way using two strokes acting as radii and overlapping two concentric circles using the path finder or Live Paint features.
Coloring some stroke with a color of none. You can then expand that. I don't have a screen shot of this method.
Here is with the Polar grid it would really be good that made geometry like this that could easily be updated I think they are called primitives.
A feature long need by Illustrator.

How would I create a screen with links after a person logs into their computer?

I have been asked to create a custom welcome screen that would load after a person logs into their computer . This screen is to have links to a couple of items.
but I need this to show after they log in and before they see their desktop.
How do I do this or even accomplish this?

According to your description, it really seems like a start screen in Windows 8\8.1, after user logs on to the system, he will first see a "start screen" with tiles (links to an App) on the screen, then he can manually swith to the classic desktop if he
want.
But in Windows 7, I never saw this kind of settings, for VB6 and HTA page, seems more related with development, if so, I suggest you post in this forum

Within the budget template; how would one create an entire year worth of a budget; with out having to create a separate page for each month?

Help!
Loving the budget template, but I would like to be able to create an entire years worth of a buget with out creating a whole new transaction/budget page for each month. How do I get the new transaction to identify a new budget chart?
Thanks, Emily

Emily,
No need to think the budget template is only for one month. Just keep typing the date in the date column of the "Transactions" sheet and the details will update. You should adjust the budget categories to match the duration of time you want to use.
If you do want month-by-month, then you can switch to the "Transactions" sheet, select the table, cut
then switch back to the "Budget" sheet, paste.
Now rename the "Budget" sheet something like "Budget Jan 2014", and delete the "Transactions" sheet. Set the budget for Jan in the column I highlighted above. The subsequent months, duplicate the monthly budget:
Then adjust the the entries in the transactions table inside this sheet.

How would I create this sort of effect?

I have attached an image and I need to know how to create this sort of border around a text....
If anyone could give an "idiots" guide that would be great!!
I really have tried but don't seem to be getting anywhere and i'm sure there's an easy shortcut somewhere.

You can have a stroke that fills in the open spaces within ("the counters") by adding a pathfinder effect to the mix - I wrote up a tutorial here: http://www.illustratorhints.com/2010/05/fill-in-the-counters-on-live-text/
Actually, that shows your whole question I think - I used offset fills instead of strokes, but the idea is the same.

How would I create for example a happy face?

I would I go so doing/creating lets say a happy face using drawRect and lines and such? I know how to get The eyes and the circle. But not the mouth smiling. I also wanna try to do it when I click a button it will frown instead of smile. Which is easy. All I need to figure out how the happy face can be done.

public void paint(Graphics g)
g.drawArc(int x, int y, int width, int height, int startDegrees, int arcDegrees);
}good luck

Hello. How would I create a Panorama tour in DPS?

I am currently using the 6 jpgs generated through pano2VR to create a single panorama, however, I would like to create hot spots in the panorama to lead to additional panoramas. Is this an HTML5 application? If so, how do I import that into DPS? Thanks!

For iOS apps, you can use the Panorama overlay. As Bob L. says, the overlay has been deprecated, but it works now.
You can also create an HTML panorama overlay. There is an example of a gyroscopic panorama in the DPS Tips app (HTML Examples) that spins as you move the device.

How would you create a type book?

Background
I asked about this yesterday in the context of creating outline text: a 416 page type specimen book with 3000 fonts, had 30-50 fonts where the numbers and basic punctuation failed to print (there were small rectangles instead). . . . thank you to everyone who tried to help yesterday.
CreateSpace (an Amazon company) was the printer. They said it was easy to fix by re-embedding the fonts. The fixed proof printed perfectly, but I had to make some small edits--about 6 typos. The print-ready file was a PDF/X-1a file. (I asked what they meant by "re-embed" and they would not tell me.)
The corrected file (also a PDF/X-1a) was uploaded, with a note saying they needed to re-embed the fonts. But this time CreateSpace said the file was "too complex to print." I argued with them a bit, and they finally fixed the file. The proof printed perfectly. This time, when I asked what they had done, they said they had to convert the text to outline: facing a third correction, I want to do as much as I can, hence my post yesterday.
Question
How should I prepare the latest corrected PDF from an InDesign file (authored in InDesign, if that matters) that would present the least problems printing? (I am working in Creative Suite CS 6)
CreateSpace will not tell anyone what presses they use (although I know that they use Indigo 5500 presses, at least at one time), what profiles, what RIP . . . they will give out no technical information.
Walton

When CS said the revised (6 typos) book was too complex to print (although they had already printed it successfully), they advised me to ask for help on the CS forum. If you go to the forum, you'll see that I am active there (ID--Walton), so in effect, they were telling me to ask me for help.
My experience with CS goes back to when it was BookSurge. The CEO told me that his policy was to not give out technical information unless the book in question was paid (uploads were $95 each). The catch was that you uploaded and paid at the same time. When you uploaded you didn't have a question. When they rejected the book, you had a question, but you were not paid up. I submitted projects that were 100% in accordance with their submission guidelines, only to have them rejected . . . because the guidelines were wrong! I found at least half a dozen mistakes in the guidelines, at $95 each! CS absorbed that culture of secrecy.
