Inserting a pause at the end of a loop in a film clip...

Hi,
I just scanned in 16 frames from old 16 mm film and created a short clip in .swf, by default the clip is looping.
I want it to loop, but all I want to do is place a 5 second pause at the end of the short 1 second clip before it starts up again. How would I do that? Or is there a simple tutorial on this?
I am using CS4 Flash Professional.
Thanks.

OK thanks much,
So to do that, do i begin by highlighting the last frame (the last frame of the movie itself - actual film image) on the timeline, and go to main menu and select Insert>Timeline>Keyframe? Then insert stop(); on the last frame via the actionscript panel?
Then highlight the first frame and insert the setTtimeout() and play() onto the first frame?
I inserted the stop() command on the last frame and the clip now stops...
I tried adding this script on the last frame and clip stops but does not repeat after 5 seconds...
stop()
setTimeout(5)
play();

Can You Get iPod To Stop/Pause At The End Of Each Track

I really need my iPod to stop/pause at the end of each track/song, but it insists on playing right through a playlist one song after another. Does anybody know if there is a way of achieving this, there doesn't seem to be anything in the manuals about this. My iPod is new and is the 60GB color screen model. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.

Hi boaster, is this an apple accessory, or where else will I find one? When you say there will be some manual intervention, I presume you have to press the button to actually stop it at the end of each track??
Dave W. I've tried your suggestion and it works fine. Its also good because it keeps iPod within the correct playlist. The original suggestion of one track per playlist also works, but unfortuanatly iPod defaults to go back to the main menu at the end of every playlist so you then have to navigate back to where you need to be. Dave, it looks like your suggestion is the answer at the moment, many thanks, although would like to know more about this 'airclick' remote please. Cheers.

Inserting a character at the end of a paragraph IF the next paragraph is a certain style

Hi,
I have found a section of a collegues script that will insert a bullet at the end of a paragraph if the PREVIOUS para is styled with a certain style, I have been trying to modify it to work if the FOLLOWING paragraph is a certain style instead but as I am not sure how the "insertionPoints[f[i].index-1].appliedParagraphStyle.name" part of it is working I have hit a brick wall. Can anyone shed any light on this?
thanks
myDoc = app.activeDocument
// This part checks if "News text para indent" is followed by "News title regular" and inserts a bullet
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "News text para indent";
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.+$";
f = myDoc.findGrep();
for (i = 0; i < f.length; i++)
var inser= f[i].insertionPoints.length
if (f[i].parentStory.insertionPoints[f[i].index-1].appliedParagraphStyle.name == "News title regular")
var bullet = f[i].parentStory.insertionPoints[f[i].index+inser-1].contents="\u25CF"

Crackle at the end of a loop

There is always a quiet but annoying crackle at the end of my loops when I record from a real instrument.
What can I do?

I haven't noticed a "crackle" but I have noticed that sometimes when I create a loop it ends up with its tail chopped off. And when this happens, these loops have the missing tail added to the front of the loop.
It's really annoying and I haven't found any way to reproduce the problem consistently (otherwise, I'd file a bug).
All of my loops are the spoken voice, so it's easy to tell when the first bit of audio is actually from the last bit of speech from the end of the loops.
This happened on GB '08, both before and after the latest set of patches (circa Sept '07). I'm using a PowerMac G5 dual 2GHz, for what it's worth.

Is there a way to have an Ipod shuffle pause at the end of a playlist?

I have one playlist with one file in it and I want the ipod shuffle (4th gen.) to play that one file and then end. The ipod just keeps repeating the one file when I put it on either of the two switch settings. Anyone know how to get it to pause or shut off at the end of the song?

It's a simple player. That's the way it works.
If you can explain why (the situation when) you need your shuffle to play just one audio file, and then stop, maybe I (or someone else) can come up with a workaround to achieve what you need.

Pausing at the end of a Ken Burns Effect

Hi,
I have a number of photos that I am using within imovie. I am applying a Ken Burns effect to scroll or zoom on the photo. At the end of the effect I would like the photo to pause.
The viewer would see a photo, the zoom/scroll get to the final position, then the photo held for a couple of seconds.
Is there a way of acheiving this - i know i can import the photo twice, the first doing the effect, the second with no effect - but how do i get the second photo exactly the same as the first photo after effect?

I don't understand what "Option-click" means: how is this executed? I
Hold down the Option key on the keyboard, then click on the Start end of the Start/End thingy. In this context, Option-clicking applies the End settings to the Start, so the clip no longer has an animated zoom.
I also don't see how one selects the duration of the "pause".
The whole clip we're making is the pause. It's a second clip that plays after the first (zooming) clip. These directions create a second clip that "pauses" after the first clip zooms.
Option-dragging the first clip makes a copy that we change into a pause. (Holding down the Option key and dragging the clip to another location duplicates the clip.)
Hope it makes better sense.

20sec pause at the end of the preloader...

what am i doing wrong. my preloader works and the page isn't
anything fancy just once it gets to the end of the preloader it has
like a 20s pause. also once it's loaded when i click on buttons
that open new pages running movie clip objects it pauses just
before it goes. I am using comands like gotoAndPlay and onRelease
for those. What should i do to get smooth animation.

While that's happening, run this DTrace script:
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
#pragma D option quiet
profile:::profile-1001hz
/ arg0 /
    @addr[ arg0 ] = count();
dtrace:::BEGIN
    printf( "Begin\n" );
dtrace:::END
    printa( "%@u %a\n", @addr );
}Start that right before you end your other DTrace script. You might want to redirect the output of that script to a file. Let that run for a good 20 or 30 seconds, break it. If you can't break it, don't worry because it'll just be collecting more data about what's going on and you can break it when your system starts responding again.
FWIW, I suspect a memory paging issue of some sort. So, it would help to see the output from:
echo ::memstat | mdb -k

ITunes freezes briefly when un-pausing near the end of a long file

On the 1.6GHz G5 pro, 10.5.7 and iTunes 8.2 (and the problem occurred in earlier versions as well).
I wouldn't notice this issue with 3-5 minute songs, but it's getting to be a problem with e.g. podcasts of several hours' duration. When the elapsed time cursor is over, say 30 minutes into a file, and I un-pause the playback, it will take maybe 5 seconds to begin playing. During this time, the only functioning element of the computer is the mouse cursor, and that only in movement. Clicks are queued but do not apply until the playback starts. Keyboard input is likewise queued. Monitoring the system with top(1) in the terminal or using the system monitor doesn't reveal anything - the displays freeze until play restarts. The system even stops responding to pings. Here's the trick - if I un-pause the replay even further into the track, say, an hour and fifteen minutes, it can take up to fifteen seconds of freeze before everything starts working again. If I pause, drag the time cursor back to the beginning, and hit play, play starts immediately and I can drag the cursor back to where I was with no freeze or interruption. It's only when I un-pause into a long file that the system freezes.
Any ideas?

I did find a workaround - note the time, drag the slider back to the beginning, and un-pause. It will start immediately. Then, drag the slider back to where you were in the file. It works, but it's really annoying, especially since this problem never happened until recently.

Long pause at the end of DTrace script.

Anyone else experience this? When my DTrace scripts end, it is a very long time -- around 5 minutes -- before I get my command prompt back. During this time, other users find their commands hang as well. What is going on? I would like to use DTrace to determine what DTrace is doing, but I fear a collapse of the space-time continuum.
This does not happen on all our server, just some of the larger Oracle database servers.

While that's happening, run this DTrace script:
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
#pragma D option quiet
profile:::profile-1001hz
/ arg0 /
    @addr[ arg0 ] = count();
dtrace:::BEGIN
    printf( "Begin\n" );
dtrace:::END
    printa( "%@u %a\n", @addr );
}Start that right before you end your other DTrace script. You might want to redirect the output of that script to a file. Let that run for a good 20 or 30 seconds, break it. If you can't break it, don't worry because it'll just be collecting more data about what's going on and you can break it when your system starts responding again.

How do I increment a variable at the end of a loop to run it through the loop again?

I'm new to LabVIEW programming and I'm trying to write a small program that just receives a lower and upper limit, and whether the user wants to increment or decrement the number. I can't figure out how to increment the number after the simple calculations have been done and to run through the loop again with the incremented number. Right now I'm using a while loop inside of a case structure where true decrements and false increments.

Here are a few possibilities.

Need to add a new row at the end of the table

Experts,
working jdev 11.1.1.3.0
i am adding row programetically, my requirement need to add the row at after last row.
i tried different ways.
Row newLastRow = getPWBBidLaneVO().last();
int lastRowIndex = getPWBBidLaneVO().getRangeIndexOf(newLastRow);
getPWBBidLaneVO().insertRowAtRangeIndex(lastRowIndex - 1,
laneRow);
this is giving --- java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
and
http://kohlivikram.blogspot.com/2008/10/add-new-row-in-adf-table-on-button.html --- its giving index out of bound because vo.getRangeSize() is 25. We set this value at vo for performance improment suggestions.
is there a way to add a new row at the end of the table?

Add this to the view row impl class
       public void insertRow(Row row) {
           //go to the end of Rowset if it has rows
           Row lastRow = this.last();
           if (lastRow !=null){
                //insert new row at the end and make it current
               int indx = this.getRangeIndexOf(lastRow)+1;
               this.insertRowAtRangeIndex(indx,row);
               this.setCurrentRow(row);
           }else { // empty Rowset
           super.insertRow(row);
           }

Attaching documents to the end of messages

I like for my attachments to be inserted at the end of my messages when I send messages in "Mail". Is there a way to set a default that always inserts my attachments at the end of my messages? Or do I have to manually select them to be inserted at the end of my messages? If not this default needs to be added to the "Mail" app.
Thanks!

What on earth has the less command in Linux have to do with the subject matter, the SQL and PL/SQL languages, of this forum?
Have you looked at the man pages for less ? - the shortcut keys are listed there. Including that F takes you to the end of file and waits for more file output to be displayed.

Captivate 8 - I want my slides to stop at the end and wait for a button click to advance

It works when published as HTML5, but NOT as swf.
(I have those specific slides set to pause at the end. They contain stuff the user might want to write down.)
Instead, the swf project advances to the next slide and THEN stops. Instead of using the forward button, the user has to use the play button on the skin.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I suppose you used the On Exit event to pause? In that case the SWF-behavior is normal behavior: the action occurs only after exiting the slide, so Pause will be on first frame of next slide.
Why not add a click box, time it for the rest of the slide and it will pause at the last frame. And you talk about a Forward button? Why not use the pausing of that button to pause at the last frame (or almost at the last frame)?

How do I get a song to stop at the end in garageband on ipad 2?

When a song in Garageband (on ipad 2) reaches the end, it immediately loops back to the beginning and starts playing again. I'd like to use Garageband as an accompaniment to live performance. So, how do I get the song to stop (and not restart) at the end?

I really wish the Apple team would fix this. It's one of those nagging things that was overlooked, I would imagine, and no one but musicians that perform would notice.
Anyway, my workaround is this. I just put a really long silent space at the end of the song giving me time to stop it before it loops.
Hey ipad/garageband team - How about a new release of gargageband?
