X6 menu fade effect query

Im wondering if theres anything to disable this...or its just me...i turned off the theme effects already. I just dont like it, i feel like it slows down the fone...im wondering if there could be any future updates on the nokia X6 since the last one was v40? Nokia need to remove this menu fade effect! seriously...

It is not possible to removed it as it is part of the default theme shell.

How to fade out button as menu fades?

I've searched the forums and manual to no avail.
I created a menu that fades to black before jumping to the loop point. Is it possible to fade out the highlighted button as my menu fades to black and jumps to the loop point? Otherwise, the button remains highlighted on screen as the menu fades to black.
I understand how to fade in a button by using Final Cut or Motion and an overlay file, but this of course wouldn't work when fading out a button since the button remains on screen while the video "button" fades out.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you add a transition from the menu to the track, such as a dissolve, it should not carry over the highlights - not sure if the button itself is on the highlights. But lets say you have an arrow next to the text that highlights that should not be seen in the transition portion, but it will be abrupt. Also if there is motion after the loop point you will not know when the button is pressed, if it is effectively a still then the fades are smoother.

Menu Fade in Buttons

I need to have the buttons (created in DVDSP4) to fade in 4 seconds after the animated menu plays in (fades in from black, and I don't want to see the buttons before the animation is fully in). I realize there are ways to do this in Motion, but my computer will not open the program for some reason...
I'll tackle that problem later. So what I have are FCP movie files that I am importing and using as animated menus, then creating buttons using the ones provided in Studio Pro.
I am at my wits end trying to figure this one out. If there is no way to do this within Studio Pro without Using Motion for creating buttons let me know so I can move on before I go crazy.
Much appreciated.
P.S. I've done a lot of reading on the Forum about this and haven't found a solution yet, this is my last resort.

Two examples and how to do it
- for Motion when you get it working
http://dvdstepbystep.com/motion.php
- uses Final Cut Pro and shows how to access bits and pieces of DVD SP templates, you will need your own buttons in an overlay and can use the elements from DVD SP if you want to use them
http://dvdstepbystep.com/useelements.php
Buttons will not be active until the loop point and overlays will not be seen
until then. (You cannot control the buttons you drag from the templates otherwise.)

Spry Menu Fade In

Is there a way to make the submenus of a horizontal navigation bar fade in? I would like something similar to this: http://www.gatewaychurch.com/

Menu button inside menu, can you do it?

I am trying to create a dropdown menu when you rollover a
menu more menus appear underneath. I have my top menu with this
code. The menu is a mc symbol. The "on" and "off" activate the
other menu fade in.
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("on");
on(rollOut){
gotoAndPlay("off");
Now here is where I'm having problems. I cannot get the menus
inside the movieclip (which are also mc's)to work. I want them on
rollover to change color and on click go to a url. I 've tried
giving them an instance name, a function, _root., nothing. Can this
be done?

yes. If you make your sub-menu a movieClip, and your buttons
inside it, you should have no problems.
eg:
on(rollOver){
gotoAndStop("on"); //"on" should be a 1 keyframe movieClip
the "on" timeline should have the animation of the sub-menu
opening, and a stop() action after the sub-buttons load.
then I would make each sub-button a 1 keyframe movieClip,
(but you dont have to) and assign all the functions of the button
to it's own timeline.
hope this helps!

Making menu buttons appear

Hi, I'm finding in DVD Studio Pro that as soon as I've gone past my self designed warning screen on my DVD Studio project, the menu background with buttons simply appears straight away. I would like the buttons to appear or fade in a bit more smoothly a few seconds after the background has appeared to look a bit more professional. Anyone know a way to do this?

Well... Eric has covered it...
What I do is create the menu backgrounds in FCP and make sure I fade in all of the button text and imagery at the right point, then I make a still and hold it for a minute or so. This footage becomes the background for the menu.
I take a still from the 'still' section of the menu footage into photoshop. I add a layer, and add highlight information and export that as an overlay for the menu.
In DVDSP, import both and set the footage for the background... then use the loop point setting and move the marker to the position just after the menu fades in and becomes still. Add the highlight file, draw the button rectangles and set the colours and navigation just as you would for a normal menu.
Now, when this menu plays the animated sequence will fade in and the buttons will become active at the loop point. After the minute of still menu the whole thing will loop, but will start at the loop point (clue's in the name!)
This should give you the effect you are after...

Smooth transitions between menus without using DVDSPs built-in transitions?

My project has two menus: a main menu and a chapter menu. When going from one menu to the other I would like to have the current menu fade out and the new menu fade in. When going from the end of the track or when using the remote menu button after getting to the track from the main menu I would like to have the main menu fade in (and the background for the chapter menu not appear). When using the remote menu button after getting to the track from the chapter menu I would like to have the chapter menu fade in (and the background for the main menu not appear).
I am able to accomplish what I described above by using DVDSPs built-in transitions. However, I have been advised by Trai Forrester that DVDSPs built-in transitions can cause problems: http://www.dvdverification.com/public/155.cfm I have therefore modified my project to not use DVDSPs built-in transitions, but in order to have my project behave as I have described above I found it necessary to use two versions of the main menu and two versions of the chapter menu. One version of the main menu has a video file that fades in the background of the main menu, while the second version of the main menu has a video file that fades out the background of the chapter menu and then fades in the background of the main menu. (Similarly one version of the chapter menu has a video file that fades in the background of the chapter menu, while the second version of the chapter menu has a video file that fades out the background of the main menu and then fades in the background of the chapter menu.)
My project behaves as desired using the two pairs of menu and does not use DVDSPs built-in transitions, so that pleases me. However, the almost-identical copies of the menus annoys me greatly. For an explanation of the programming principles that lead to my annoyance, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_duplication and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27trepeatyourself for elaboration.
Is there a way to have just two menus instead of two pairs of menus and achieve what I described above without using DVDSPs built-in transitions?
Looking forward to being surprised by a clever solution,
John Link

Since you have no audio or motion then try the jump to loop point script. Either way would be fine.
I played around with that a little bit and it seems that to get all the fade-outs I'd like to have would require several scripts and keeping track of SPRM 7. I think that I am going to abandon all of the fade-outs but keep the fade-ins. I can do that with a single main menu and a single chapter menu and not use the built-in transitions or any scripts at all. The behavior looks good and I think the disc will be very safe.
I agree, duplicating code is not good practice but remember your not writing code here - DVDSP is doing all this work under the hood for you.
I may not be writing code but I am programming the DVD and the principle of non-duplication is violated by almost-identical menus.
If you'd like check out a tool like My DVDEdit or AfterEdit
http://www.mydvdedit.com/
http://dvdafteredit.com/
It allows you to see the "real" DVD Structure which tools like DVDSP or Encore hide to make things simple. You can even go through the abstraction layer line by line to see how that SPRM 7 is used (wish I knew why that Sony Player doesn't work for your project).
Be sure to take a look at my report on the RDR-GX355: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1896575&tstart=0 That player also operates incorrectly on Concert for George: http://www.amazon.com/Concert-George-Andy-Fairweather-Low/dp/B0000CEB4V/ref=pdbbs_sr1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1233954620&sr=8-1
Its not rocket science (especially for a programming like yourself) but remember authoring a disc in DVDSP vs a spec tool like Scenarist isn't even in the same ballpark - not even the same sport Last time I heard Scenarist is down to $6000 - it was $20K a couple years ago.
That's a deal breaker! I'll be working with DVDSP in the foreseeable future.
Also go here:

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Using onPress multiple times on different frames

Hi,
I have a menu file (cs3) for navigation on a web site. It's
pretty basic, as I am new to using flash extensively. I always try
to do it all with JS.
There is a list of 5 "sections" (buttons), and when one is
clicked a sub-menu fades in beside it. These new buttons, however,
do not work. All buttons use a onPress function . I have studied
this some and read something about parent and child movieclips, but
there aren't any mc's in my file. Not sure if this can apply to
buttons as well...
Basically, I just need the second sets of buttons to work. I
will attach code for them. The AS is in a separate keyframe from
all of the buttons but on the same timeline frame number. All links
are opened within an iframe on the same page.
Any help would be appreciated!

It is most likely (I'm not certain from the description) that
the 'sub-buttons' are a 'child' MC of the main button? if so, the
'on' handler for the 'main' button will override any handlers
attached to 'child' buttons within it. the only solution is to use
a hitTest method for either the 'parent' button or the 'child'
buttons, OR separate the two MCs and use the 'main' button to bring
a MC of the 'sub' buttons to the Stage.

Cairo Dock Flashing Black Box on sub-dock

Hello,
I've been playing with different panels and I really like cairo dock. However, I'm having a strange issue with the subdock. Currently I have icons displayed from open applications and group them in the same icon. When I hover over it, a subdock appears. Everything works as it should except that there is a slight flicker of a blackbox after the menu fades away. I've tinkered with every possible setting and went through each option in compton to see what is causing it but no luck.
Has anybody ran into this issue? It's a quick flash of a black box in subdocks.

Weird things happening to my Mac - Could really be a Virus on the Mac?

Hallo everyone out there,
I'm making this post hoping I can get some information to solve my issue.
I did search on the forum and on the net for a possible solution but with no results.
I apologize in advance in case I miss some related/important post.
Please forgive my english since is my second language.
*The MAC:*
HD 1: OS 10.5.4
2x3 Ghz Quad-Core

*The Issue:*
First boot of the day got an alert message from the firewall: "the settings have been changed"
Right Click: the usual menu doesn't stay on but it fades away just after less then 1 sec.
Top Bar: can't access the different menu on the top bar, the menu fades away just after less then 1 sec.
Utilities Folder: it's gone. is not in the APP folder anymore. Keyboard shortcut doesn't work
Dock: question marks instead of APP icons
System Pref: Can't access the system preferences
What i did:
Delete some apps and delete some files from the desk
Empty the bin
Shut down the Mac holding the power button
Switch on the system again
AFter that the top bar menu was working fine, but still can't access the system preferences and even the MORE INFO button didn't work.
Right Click worked for 3 minutes only and then again the menu issue
Got some monitors flashing and filckering (never had a problem)
Can't insert my admin passoword tring to change some settings: the letters are fine but pushing numbers on the keyboard make the system beeping.
After that i Restore a 5 days old backup with time machine.
Back on the desktop but the problems are still there.
I did try to unplug everything and then plug one item at the time but with no success.
The windows system is running fine -.-'
I download mp3 from Beatport.
I do use Azureus for movies.
Recently i opened some .ppt files (the source should be secure though)
I'm not the onl
I would really aprreciate any kind of help you might want to give.
Thx in advance for that.

Harden your router. Update the firmware and add some rules. Little Snitch should help. Run ClamXav and/or Intego demo VirusBarrier X5. Leopard Cache Cleaner includes ClamXav.
http://www.northernsoftworks.com/leopardcachecleaner.html
http://www.intego.com/
When you use Azureus you basically broadcast your IP to others.
By your restore, it doesn't sound like you keep emergency bootable backups, internal on another drive, and off line 'as needed' Firewire boot drive.
I doubt it is malware (people use "virus" to cover things that really are not a virus, like worms, trojan horses, and rootkits).
Boot from DVD or another drive and run Disk Warrior (after you run Disk Utility). Have you repaired your boot drive booted from another hard drive? tried deep cleaning cache folders? created a new test user account?
Setup an emergency system, not from backups, on a newly formatted drive. And pull your old drive first. Installing software from an original distribution disc to an empty hard drive, which is called a "clean install," is a best practice recommended by security organizations, such as NIST and US-CERT.

Roll over hit button works only sometimes

OKay, I have a drop down menu. Around the menu I have a button surrounding the outside, so when I roll away from the drop down menu and roll over the outline button, it is coded with action script to make the drop down menu fade away. HOWEVER.....sometimes....when i roll over the button fast it doesnt seem to catch it...Is there anyway to fix this?

Have you tried increasing the size of the text box? Sometimes with filters, you're actually increasing the size of the font, like you would with bold text etc, try making the text box slightly larger area than currently see if that fixes it.

IDVD slideshow audio transitions

I am creating a dvd montage in idvd and want to fade in and out music. Can this be done in IDVD version 7?
Thank you!
Susie

If you have iMovie HD6, you can make adjustments to the volume of your music using this application. GarageBand also does this type of editing.
Using iDVD, you are able to make the music fade out only at the end of the slideshow. This is from iDVD Help:
_Making a soundtrack fade out_
+You can make the soundtrack of a slideshow or a background movie in a menu fade out at the end. This small detail adds polish to your DVD.+
+To fade out audio:+
+Choose iDVD > Preferences.+
+Click Slideshow and select “Fade volume out at end of slideshow.”+
+Click General and select “Fade volume out at end of menu loop.”+
+“Menu loop” refers to any soundtrack you have added to the menu background and to the sound that is part of a movie you have added to the menu background.+
+These settings take effect the next time you open iDVD.+
I hope this helps.

FADING OUT AN AUDIO FILE

Hi there, it's my first time on this discussions site and I'm just wondering if out there anyone can help me out, because i'm losing my mental sanity...
I am trying to do something I thought would be quite simple...to fade out an audio file imported from the itunes library into a logic express track...i go to the sample editor, select the area i'd like to fade out and when i open the Functions menu "fade out" is not highlighted, so not usable...any suggestions?
Thank you very much!

I am not sure what you are referring to when you say '..when i open the Functions menu 'Fade out' is not highlighted...'
So I guess it may depend if the audio file is protected or not (for instance if it is something purchased from itunes store, you can;t do much with them as-is). However the simplest way I fade out an audio file is to use 'automation' and choose the 'volume' option with 'read' setting and edit the automation 'line' to fade to nothing. Works very well.

Strange problems with video with new P965 Plat

I just put together a new machine and I'm stumped by a video problem I'm having. I *think* its any graphics using hardware acceleration.
Specifically: Menu fade-in, windows' built-in 3d screen savers, and games. These all seem to be running in single-digit FPS, games unaffected by resolution, AA, etc. Other oddities: in BIOS menu, the animated gradient bar at the top which moves very slowly, and bios is slow to respond to the keyboard (using a usb keyboard); Windows setup from CD runs VERY slowly; Windows boot up logo fades in VERY slowly (dragging down the whole boot up process) but once the loading bar starts to move the process is very quick.
Here's the kicker: It all runs great otherwise. Games install and start up fast, at high settings image quality is superb (but slow no matter what), web browsing is quick, etc. I tried a different video card (ATI branded x1950pro instead of Diamond branded same model) and the problem persists, although Windows installed much faster.
I've tried all recent Catalyst drivers (and .net 2.0), have DirectX 9c, have the latest chipset drivers from Intel. Is the motherboard having pci-e problems? This all continues despite several clean XP installs. Also, installing .inf drivers from the MSI-included CD kills USB, although Intel's drivers online work.

Quote from: dmmessiah on 25-January-07, 13:01:10
Well, after putting on more than the token amount of thermal paste that was originally there, CoreTemp reports that while running Orthos the temp holds at 56C. CPU-Z, which is the only program to correctly report 266x8=2.13ghz, shows no throttling. Nor does it throttle when those previously mentioned games are running, or even the simple little things like screen savers. These are not problems of marginally slower performance than I would like, it's a problem of certain applications running unusably slow.
Ok. Temps are normal now.
Hmm I think you said that you used intel's chipset drivers?
I'm my self running e6400 with msi 965 neo-f using MSI's drivers. I also have MSI x1950pro, which is currently running on MSI's modified drivers, tho Ati's seemed to work ok too. I changed them for some no use debugging when trying to figure out my sluggis gfx (pci slot2 + Jmicron problem).
I also found out that installing MSI's usb driver, kills the usb ports. (aye I also have usb keyb & mouse). So i just hit reboot button after they were installed. Next time windows booted up usb worked. If I had know this, I would have gone power saving settings in windows, and enabled shutdown, if powerbutton is pressed. Tho Windows didn't broke because of one crash start, its used to it
If changing chipset drivers from intels to msi's don't help I dunno what to try.
Oh BIOS.
I had bios 1.5 in this board when I bought it, after that I have been updating BIOS with newest beta right after they release one. I'm now using 1.6B15, as there was some thread on forums that released 1.6 version of BIOS had some problems.
But as I said earlier, I have only encountered sluggis gfx, if I'm using some PCI card in slot2 and Jmicron is enabled. My BIOS patching is due to scsi controller problems not gfx so dunno if it will help at all.
