Is there a fix for a problem with animation using nested graphics (parent/child)?

I am not sure if its because of my lack of experience with 2D programs or not, however I am having issues with nested graphics and animation. I am normally a 3D user and as such grouping and parents are very key to how things are able to move. The problem I am having (just as an example because its hapening in multiple areas) is I have an arm of a character that is grouped 3 times. The upper arm is the parent, the lower arm is grouped inside the upper arm, and the hand grouped inside that, all of which were converted to graphics. I did this so the lower arm and hand follow the upper arm, and the hand follows the lower arm. This would be a common sense thing to do in 3D however when it comes to animating the hand, usually when double clicking a graphic it takes you to the same frame for the child as is selected with the parent (if the parent is on frame 20, double clicking the parent should take you to frame 20 of the child). I should also add that all graphics have the same frame count.  The problem being when i double click, the child does not have the same frame count and throws off everything done to the child in relation to the parent's animation. I am not sure if its something i did, or a problem that exists inside flash. I have a deadline coming up and this has been a bad problem to have last minute so if anyone has advice on the matter, that would be greatly appreciated!
I also tried using the bone tool in flash, and besides no obvious way of re-adjusting the bones that are attached to the graphics (short of deleting them and trying again), this was difficult as well. I looked up ways to adjust the position and it seems you can only adjust the graphics themselves, not the bones. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal if it didn't start skewing the graphics out of place randomly. 
I hope this isn't too confusing and I would certainly appreciate some feedback!

Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums?  This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience.

    My I Pad 1 constantly drops me off the Internet and programs. Is there any fix for this problem?  It started after the last update and continues to get worse.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

    Are you searching for file names or content?  If it's the latter dDownload and run Find Any File to search for the same file names.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there are files with those file names on the hard drive FAF will find them.
    In any case reindex the HD for Spotlight according to this Apple document: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support

  • Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Because soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not.

    Question
    Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Your upgrade process notifies me that it is not compatible with Avast so I always delete it. Soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not. Please help.

    Avast needs to update their Web Rep add-on for Firefox 5.0.
    You can look at the new pre-release version of Avast for Firefox 5.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    @the-edmeister
    Thanks for the advice. In my case, it is sufficient to '''uncheck''' " Saved passwords".
    ('''''Preferences -> Privacy -> Clear History when Firefox closes -> Settings -> Saved Passwords''''').
    Great to have Sync. :)

    Whilst updating itunes software to latest version I get runtime error R6034 and cannot get into itunes. Is there a fix for this problem?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Other than what you have already done, you should clear the cache from your browser and, if you use it, your Facebook app.  Also, deleting old texts can free up some room.

  • Are there any fixes for iPad 2 with OS 8.1.1.

    Are there any fixes for the iPad 2 IOS 8.1.1?  I've had problems with Safari and other Apps crashing or locking up, and with extremely slow touch response.  These problems have been occurring since the last update.  At times the iPad becomes unusable.  I have been keeping all programs closed and history and web site data cleared.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hi, dannilee,
    I have exactly the same problem. The device was my favorite computer until 8.1.1. Now it runs s-l-o-w-l-y, requires endless reboots.
    To improve the performamce, I have tried these:
    1.Go to Setting->General->Accessibility->Reduce Motion. Turn on.
    2.Reset iPad device settings using Setting->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. Its increase iPad performance little better.
    3.Hold the sleep/wake button and home button upto 8 seconds. This will turn off your iPad. Then turn on iPad. Wait few moments. Do the same thing twice to solve this issue.
    Solution 3 worked for me. And, I always recommend you to backup your iPad first before any action to avoid any data loss.
    Hope it is useful for you.

    Sometimes this happens to me, I know I am old school as well with an iPhone 3g hey what can I say I got a great deal on it. If I do a reboot, hold the power button and home button down for 10 seconds, and then hold the power button down until the apple logo appears it usually fixes this issue.

  • Is there a fix for MAC Pro with Dual video cards that randomly logs off and on?

    From my readings on the Internet this seems to be a know problem.  That even furthers my frustrations with the latest OS X upgrades.  So far on both my MACBOOK PRO and my MAC PRO it has been a major downgrade as both systems are no longer stable.  Enough with my complaints...
    Is there any plan to address this problem with the MAC PRO?  I can't believe 10.8.1 didn't fix it.  More can be read on it at:
    http://jvm-technology.blogspot.com/2012/08/mac-pro-users-experiencing-random-log .html
    Does anyone have work around to use dual screen monitors with the system?  I have two video cards, the article says to remove one.  Has this worked for anyone?  Can I use dual screens with the one video card.  Before I go messing around with these type of things I just want to be sure that this is a real fix.  For the price of the cards and the system I really can't believe apple has this issue in the first place and has not fixed it. 

    Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
    See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
    You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />

  • Firefox is unresponsive when I open my Macbook Pro or wake it up from sleeping. Is there a fix for this problem?

    Whenever I open up my Macbook Pro, Firefix is unresponsive. I can see all of my tabs, but nothing (except the top pull-down menus) are clickable. If I wait a few minutes it seems to work again, but I usually have to force quit. Anyone else have this problem?

    Firefox uses plugin-container.exe to run Flash and other plugins. The theory is that if the plugin were to crash, it would not crash all your tabs, just any active plugins. Are you getting a message that a plugin crashed?
    If I understand the problem correctly, Firefox is hanging or freezing when trying to open a link, and you are exiting Firefox, after which it won't start up again until you kill firefox.exe in the Task Manager.
    Have you noticed any pattern to when Firefox freezes or stalls?
    How are you exiting Firefox (for example, from the menu vs. red X button vs. Ctrl+Alt+Delete)?

  • Problems with Whitespace using nested tables from eclipse dtp oracle plugin

    Hi,
    sending from eclipse to oracle xe fails if whitespace is used:
    Example1: Nested table in nested table
    adress_table_typ has another nested table in it
    that works
    CREATE TABLE x (
    i INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    adressen adress_table_typ
    ) NESTED TABLE adressen STORE AS adressen_nt (NESTED TABLE tels STORE AS tels_nt);
    inserting a newline fails
    CREATE TABLE x (
    i INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    adressen adress_table_typ
    ) NESTED TABLE adressen STORE AS adressen_nt
    (NESTED TABLE tels STORE AS tels_nt);
    Example2:
    Two nested tables
    CREATE TABLE x (
    i INT PRIMARY KEY,
    l_table_typ,
    m_table_typ
    ) NESTED TABLE laptops STORE AS laptop_nt NESTED TABLE interessen STORE AS interessen_nt;
    and then an insert
    INSERT INTO x VALUES (123456,
    l_typ(laptop_typ('123', 'netop'),
    laptop_typ('234', 'thinkpad'),     
    laptop_typ('345', 'iBook')),
    m_typ('a', 'b', 'c')
    which fails. Note that the INSERT works when copy&pasted to sqlplus. It also works if there is
    just one nested table.
    Am I doing somethig wrong or is this a bug in the eclipse data tools plugin?
    Regards
    - Peter
    PS; It is rather difficult to insert whitespace in that forum editor. Any possibility to have ascii?
    For a "whitespace" question rather important...

    A bit of an update on the original post. I was playing around with the plug-in xml file (e.g. eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.oc4j_1.5.100.v20070608\buildfiles\oracle.10.1.3.xml). I changed the following from "deploy" to "redeploy" and it seems to be working once the applicatoin is initial deployed. Of course, I have to change it back to "deploy" if it is the first time the application is being deployed. However; I would still would like to resolve this if there is something out there that fixes this problem. Or if everything points to an enviornment problem, I can continue to play with it.
    <target name="deploy.j2ee.ear" depends="check.skip.ear.deploy" unless="skip.deploy">
    <antcall target="package.module.ear"/>
    <oracle:redeploy
    deployerUri="${deployer.uri}"
    userId="${oc4j.admin.user}"
    password="${oc4j.admin.password}"
    file="${server.publish.dir}/${module.name}.ear"
    deploymentName="${module.name}"
    bindAllWebApps="${oc4j.bind.website}"/>

  • Problems with animations using key frames and other bugs

    To me, the current version of Acrobat 3D Toolkit (7.0.7) seems like a beta version -- unfortunately I payed the full price. Or maybe there are a few settings only set wrong on my system and someone can tell me how to correct this ...
    ++ Animations using key frames
    According to the manual page 86:
    <-----
    6. Ensure the time/frame line is positioned at frame 0, right-click over the time/frame line in the timeline, and then click Insert Key.
    ---->
    I cannot get this context menu option (see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/no-insert-key-option.gif )
    ++ Empty and hence almost useless Animations Options dialog
    The Animation Options dialog does not list any Sequence entries -- although there are sequences available, see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/empty-animation-options-dialog.gif.
    ++ Mixed up icon bars
    Moving icon bars around can result in a complete mix-up of unusable icons, see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/mixed-up-menus.gif
    ++ Functionless Object Position toolbar
    The object position cannot be set using the Object Position toolbar, the OK icon is deactivated all the time although the tick icon is darker green, i.e. supposedly active (see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/position-panel.gif
    ++ Missing things
    Why is there no properties panel visible all the time, displaying the properties of the selected object and allowing to change properties (e.g. positions, angles etc.)?
    Why is it impossible to view different trees at the same time (e.g. scene tree and animation tree)?
    Why is it impossible to have different models open simultaneously? (E.g. to compare settings or even to copy properties/objects from one model to the other.)
    Why is it impossible to create new folders in the scene tree? Imported folders are available, but for the scene management within Acrobat 3D I may have different requirements than the CAD designer had. (Also, I would like to put new objects in folders of my own.)
    Why is tabbing not supported more extensively? E.g. All the different trees (Folders, Scene Tree, ...) could all be put into a single tabbed panel saving valuable space on my screen but still giving easy access to all items.
    Why is there no Undo for camera position changes?
    Why is there no Undo for material edits (e.g. applying a new material to an object)?
    Why is it only possible to animate object movements, not the making visible/invisible of objects and changes of the camera position?
    Why is it impossible to save object selections? Within a larger model it always is a lot of clicking to get the view required for certain actions.
    Why are there a lot of different Display options available on-screen but when a scene is rendered into a file, Acrobat 3D uses the same display option all the time (i.e. Solid)?
    Probably this list could be extended quite heavily. And some of these missing things may be time intensive to realize (and saved for future versions), others are comparably basics now-a-days.

    I agree with the "beta" feel of the 3D Toolkit. I have been very frustrated getting animation to work well. Specifically, I made an animation that plays in Toolkit, imports and plays into Acrobat 3D, but does not play in Reader. It displays 3D and rotates, etc., but I cannot get the animaiton to play.
    The contextural menu issue you see I see also. The menu appears, but without the "add Key Frame" item. I find that if I select an object, move it a bit, move it back, then the menu will appear. (at least sometimes I think) Pretty frustrating.
