Link objects/layers dynamically?

Hi,
Would anyone be able to tell me if there is a way (without a plugin) to dynamically connect layers in Ae as if one layer is parented and controls others which are linked?
The best example I can give is the iOS7 messages app. http://www.apple.com/ie/ios/ios7/ (it's the very last video). I'm trying to create a similar control to the way the speech bubbles in the message app bounce off each other as the position is moved.
Can anyone help/ suggest any way this may be achieved without tedious key framing of every layer involved.
Cheers in advance,
Shaun

Sure, one could write some expressions for it. Otherwise the Newton plug-in can simulate 2D physics.

Is it possible the query in view object is dynamic?

Is it possible the query in view object is dynamic?
Generally, make the column list dynamic.
I think this is related to whether view object can be assembled at runtime based on a dynamic cursor in a procedure?
I ask this because I would like to know how we can use OA framework to simulate crosstab workbook in Discoverer?
Anybody has some clues, please advise.
Thanks.

Hi Shay,
Let me tell you briefly... I am sending input as customerId,customerNumber,CustomerName to the web service, if the record is available i am getting the response and i am displaying those records on page as a table. Now when i click a row i need to populate another table with all sale orders of that customer. From webservice datacontrol i have only customer object, I dont have Sales Order Object. For this i need master detail relation. In this case how to proceed. Thats why i am thinking to create a vO and EO object for sales orders table and i want to create view link for this sales order and customers. As i don't have customer VO and EO object to create view link.

How to automatically update Smart LINKED Object

Hi.
This is my first post here, I'm French, so excuse any English mistake i may do.
I'm not an artist / designer / ..., still new about using image software editing like photoshop.
So i downloaded Photoshop CC to try it because i wanted to do something on my spare time.
I want to render digitaly a card collection based on a online Collectible Card Game (Duel of champions if you wanna know).
For this I downloaded their card art from their site.
Then i want to add several effect / filter to render them nicely.
So i read and watch many tutorial in this purpose.
I ended with a good result for 1 card.
Here is an example :
Hi.

I want to render digitaly a card collection based on a online Collectible Card Game (Duel of champions if you wanna know).
For this I downloaded their card art from their site.
Then i want to add several effect / filter to render them nicely.
So i read and watch many tutorial in this purpose.
I ended with a good result for 1 card.
Here is an example :
So what i did :
I get a source card art image, adding its red border, embossed it to get relief, adding a gloss effect in 3 different layers (the card art, the border and the gloss effect). Than i duplicate all this layers, swap them vertically and moved down to get a reflection.
I added a gradient to this new group of layers to have a nice fading effect to the reflection.
As I do not want to redo all the process again and again if I change main the source card Art, I want the reflexion to automatically update.
This was done using Smart object, both main source card Art and the (vertically swapped) reflexion card art using the same object storing my different main source card art.
So when i change in this object the main source card art used, it automatically change both the rendered card and its corresponding reflexion.
And then i Added a displacement filter to simulate a water reflection.
And the first problem (solved by now) occurred :
If i want to apply a filter to the group of layers corresponding to the rendered reflexion card, Photoshop have to convert and merged the whole group of layers into another new smart object and then apply a smart filter onto it. That worked but i lost the auto updating of the reflexion as the previous conversion have made Photoshop create in fact a whole new duplicated object storing a my different main source art.
So i partially resolved This by using Smart LINKED object instead of Smart object. I say partially because it is not really fully automated anymore.
Now if I change the main Source card Art to render a new one, I have to "manually" save file / update smart object to get the reflection updated.
I kinda accelerate this using a action performing a batch of saves to get a "save all" options (that clearly miss in photoshop). But for this i still have to open all my smarted linked object in order to apply the "Save All" batch.
But know I want to generalize the process to cards left, and render my whole card collection.
So i created a template based on what i've done so far using in this template Smart LINKED Object for the Main source card art and the reflected one. By the Way I exported the Reflection group in a PSD file, and refered to it as another Smart LINKED Object in my template. Doing so i'm sure Photoshop no more use a temporary PSB object correspond to the converted / merged reflexion Smart Object (remember : created in order to apply a smart Filter on it).
So what Happen now ?
I create a new testing psd file in witch i embed several new smart objects each one is an occurence to my template. Here i have to used smart Object and NOT smart LINKED Object because if so i'll always end up with the same rendered card several times. I have to get Phososhop create it own temporary duplicated object so a modification to one don't affect all the others after "Save All" batch on the corresponding working card.
So with what I have now, if I want to change 1 of the rendered card, i go its corresponding (duplicated) template object and from there i access again my LINKED object storing all my main source card Art.
I change to what source card art I want, and I have to open the reflection smart LINKED Object too in order to apply the "SAve All" batch.
Here is the "fun" (issue) thing : I have to apply the batch 3 time in a row to have the rendered card changed in my main testing psd file. I suppose saving 3 time time propagated the change along the Smart LINKED Object chain.
AND I have to make sure ONLY the corresponding smart (LINKED) Object file are opened before. If another file from a different rendered card is opened too the change will also be propagated to it and so having a duplicated rendered card. (I only want each card rendered once, but using the same template to avoid repetitive work).
So I explained in detail, but maybe not clearly, my situation and the step i went through.
TLDR
To summarize : I have a collections of Card art (jpeg).
I created a Template applying effect to render 1 card.
I created another template appliying same effect to render 1 REFLECTED card.
In both i use the same Smart LINKED Object that Store my collection on Card Art.
I make another Smart LINKED Object in the first template that reference the second one.
So with my first template I can update the rendered card and its rendered reflexion after changing the main source card art in the subsequent smart LINKED Object that store my whole cards art. I have to had all corresponding Smart LINKED Object file OPENED and save them all to have th updated result.
So not really automatic.
Then I want to render my whole card collection with effect and reflexion.
I create in my project a duplicate of my first template for each card to be rendered.
Then I have to open ONLY all subsequent corresponding Smart LINKED(or not) Object file of current working rendered card and change the main source card art, save all the file (several time to propagate change) to properlly update the current rendered card.
I have to do this for EACH of my duplicated template in order to render EACH of my cards.
Definitively not automatic process, and prone to errors.
Do you know a way to fully automatically render my card collection ? The only thing I want to do is chose one time the main source card art for each rendered card.
Finally another way to explain this issue and maybe get an answer is to instead explain simply what I want to do :
I have a collection of (jpeg) card art from an online card game.
I want to render them all with effect (gloss, emboss border, faded and water filtered reflection).
I want to do this automatically.
The only thing i manually want to do is chose the card art to be rendered for each of the card i want to render in my collection.
Here is an image of what i want based on what i've, not automatically, done so far :
Thanks for any help from photophop professional here.

Hi,
The delta load does not work for product categories but only products.So to bring in the new product categories into SRM you will need to start the load of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.
The CRM middleware allows the following two methods for replication.
-Initial loads:
Launched manually (R3AS), the objects (customizing or business) are replicated between SRM and R/3, according to the filters you've put on the object (R3AC1 for Business objects like MATERIAL, R3AC3 for customizing objects like DNL_CUST_PROD0 and 1).
-Delta loads:
This option is only possible for Business objects, which is the case of MATERIAL.
With this option a daemon is launched between the 2 servers. Every modification made on an object on SRM or R/3 is transfered as soon as this object is contained in the filter retrictions (creation and/or modification). this is done through transaction R3AC4.
Also refer the foll thread:
Material group from R/3 to COMM_CATEGORY (SRM)

Linked Objects _ Financial reports

Hi
I have got Linked Objects :- Text ,Images which are used in around 100 reports.
last time i had to change the image and text in all reports .I opened one report inserted the new image and text and saved(Overwritten) the NEW images on the OLD images with "Link to source object " Option and removed the old images from the report.
But the changes did NOT reflect in other reports.I had to do the changes manually to all reports by reporting the linked objects.
What is the best way to do the changes dynamically in all reports.
Appreiate your response.

Once you have the new object you need to save it over the old object in the workspace as well.

Script for Linking multiple layers to a null layer

I'm trying to link multiple layers to an animated null layer but I want each layer to start the animation from layer starting time.
What would be the script I need to add instead duplicating null layer for every layers?
I hope that question isn't too confusing to understand lol
TIA
W

Sorry, I'm not good at explaining things though texts lol
Hopefully this picture can explain better what I'm trying to achieve.
I want to link the text layers to ROTATE null object but I want the keyframes to start at the beginning of each of text layer. This way, I won't need keyframes for each text layer and I can adjust the timing easier later. I know the script lines to link them to a null object but I can't figure out the line to tell the keyframes to start at the beginning of the layer instead the null object in the timeline.
I think I just made this more confusing lol

Writing two linked objects (obj1 is linked to obj2)?

writing two linked objects (obj1 is linked to obj2)
Approach A:
ObjectOutputStream o = new ...
o.writeObject(obj1);
o.writeObject(obj2);
o.close();
Approach B:
ObjectOutputStream o = new ...
o.writeObject(obj1);
o.close();
o = new ...

Does the Two approaches are same??
If not how many writes for Approach A and How many for B??
please explain me clearly for the reason ??

Using database link with a dynamic SQL in Forms 5

I have a Form 5 application where a database link is specified in a client version of dynamic SQL. The function that the application is designed to perform is to access data in a table in a remote database and use it to populate another table in a local database with the same structure as the source table. Dynamic SQL is used because the name of the table can only be resolved during run time.
The problem is that it gives error with code 'ORA-03113' and text 'End-of-file on communication channel' when you try to run it.
Is it not possible to use a database link with a dynamic SQL? What can I do to overcome the problem ?

Try to create a local view based ao the remote table and use the view.

How can I refer to the PhotoShop Object library dynamically depend on the release of PhotoShop?

Recently, I make a program, now I face a big program:

I know every release of PhotoShop have ist own Object library, but in visual basic 6.0, I can only refer to one PhotoShop Object library. for example: if I refer to Photoshop 8.0 Object library, if my clients release of Photoshop is 7.0. there will be a error message : Run-time error '429 ( cant create object) Run-time error '430(Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface), How can I refer to the PhotoShop Object library dynamically depend on the release of PhotoShop?

How to use object collection with linked objects

Hi,I'm using VS2005 Crystal reports in a c# client app (server has database, but client does not have!). So the use of the objects transfered to the client seemed to me a good solution for showing reports on the client. The objects mostly link to several other objects (properties of type <type> or properties of type [] <type>) and the links are correctly configured in database assistant.But: Whenever using one of the linked fields, all of the main fields will never show up in the report.So, what is the correct way of showing a master / detail report using linked object collections??? (A small test sample app can be provided upon request) TIABP

What database and connection type are you using? Are you connecting the report directly to the database, or trying to assign the datasource to object data?
It sounds like you might be trying to use a linked list, collection or other C# construct to pass your data in. This currently isn't supported by the Crystal Reports SDK. You can use a DataSet or a DataTable, and possibly also an IDataReader depending on which version of Crystal Reports you're referencing in your project. Of course you can also connect directly to the database, even if the database isn't on the same machine as the application.
The way to show master records with detail information is through the use of subreports and linked subreport parameters. Linked subreports take their parameter value from a record in the main report, so that only the data appropriate to that master record is displayed. The guys over in the [report design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum can help you out with this if you have questions on the specifics.

How do I apply style within a text frame linked object

I'm selecting the text frame in the object I want to apply an object style
A script can be written
within a text frame the linked object (selected text frame)
how object style is applied

Hi
All you need is
app.selection[0].appliedObjectStyle = app.activeDocument.objectStyles.itemByName ("Trevors Object Style");
The below snippet will apply the style to all the anchored objects in the selection or document
var doc = app.properties.activeDocument,
    myOnjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.itemByName ("Trevors Object Style"),
    myObjects, l;
if (!myOnjectStyle.isValid) {
    alert ("Either add an Object Style Called:\nTrevors Object Style\nOr Make Significant Changes to The Script");
    quit ();
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "^a";
myObjects = (app.selection && app.selection[0]).findText () || doc.findText ();
l = myObjects.length;
while(l--) myObjects[l].textFrames[0].appliedObjectStyle = myOnjectStyle;

{@link Object#clone()} , -link does not work!!

I have a problem with this!!
Somehow the -link option does not work very well.
I have ensured that I did correctly set my command option -link to
-link http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api
I have already imported java.lang.Object at the top of my source code.
When I tried to use {@link Object#clone()}, it doesnt work at all.
I have also tried all sorts of names like fully qualified ones and such.
The hyperlinks do not appear ( i.e. they just appear as plain text but not hyperlinks!!) I realise the ONLY way I can get it to point to the correct link is
{@link <a href = "http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#clone()">clone()</a>}
which is very lame.
I want to be able to write doc @tags such that I do not have to specify the full complete http address.
Anyone can help ? Thank you very much!!
P/S: I know this is a bug in 1.2.2 javadoc but I suppose this bug would have been fixed by now....

I would upgrade to 1.4.2. That should fix the problem.

Linked object not avilable

Hi,
I am facing strange issue. we have one iview and it assigned to one. this link(role-->i view) is working fine from longtime.
but last week onwards for some users(they have access) this iview disappearing some time and appearing some time.
when i verify in the content admin i was able to see the link ,(in the role also). then i cleared cache ,and then when i verify in the content admin i was not able to see the link . and in the role i am seeing as ' linked object not available" .
please let me know why this happend is there any note available to resolve this.
Thanks
Surya

Hi,
I assume you have enabled the Connector for Caching Roles.
Please Check the Property of the iView under the Property Category : Navigation >> "Metadata for the Navigation Hierarchy".
Ensure that the Property is set to "Cacheable".
Also Synchronize Cache for the Connector under System Administration >> Navigation >> Navigation Cache.
Kind Regards,

How to create custom BOL object for dynamic query in CRM 7.0

Hi,
Could anyone please explain me with steps that how to create the custom BOL object for dynamic query in CRM 7.0, I did it in previous version but its throwing exception when i try to create the object of my dynamic query class. I just defined the entry of my in crmv_obj_btil to create the dynamic query BOL object. do i need to do any other thing also to make it work?

Hi Justin,
First of thanks for your reply, and coming to my requirement, I need to report the list of items which are there in the dynamic select statement what am getting from the DB. The select statement number of columns may vary in my example for different countries the select item columns count is different. For US its '15', for UK it may be 10 ...like so, and some of the column value might be a combination or calculation part of other table columns (The select query contains more than one table in the from clause).
In order to execute the dynamic select statement and return the result i choose to write a function which will parse the cursor for dynamic query and then iterate the values and construct a Type Object and append it to the pipe row.
Am relatively very new for these sort of things, welcome in case of any suggestions to make it simple (Instead of the function what i thought to work with) also a sample narrating the new procedure will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,

Is it possible to call on a link in a dynamic page?

I have created a dynamic page with sql code in it. When I go to customation form, for the page I just created, there is a button called run dynamic page. When I click this the sql code on the page execute. I can also make a link to the customation form so when I run this link the page with button run dynamic page appear. The question is if there is someway you can use this link in another dynamic page you just created so you get a page with the button run dynamic page when you run the page? Or is there another solution to the problem to get a page with a button to run sql code?

Hi,
You can call a component's customization form in the dynamic page like this
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H2>Example of A Dynamic Page</H2>
<ORACLE>
begin
SJAYARAM903_1G.RPT_0911010900.show_parms;
end;
</ORACLE>
</BODY>
This would render the customization form in the dynamic page.
Thanks,
