MenuBar Transitions...

I need to make my MenuBar fade its items in rather than scale
them in. How do I go about doing this? I've looked into the
showEffect and hideEffect tags,but they're not doing much.

It looks like it's complicated with MenuBar. Check out the
info on
MenuBarItemRenderer:

You might find it time well spent to review the available
information on
itemRenderers from Q2 here

  • MenuBar icons lost during state transition

    My app has 2 states. It includes controlBarContent which are hidden in the 2nd state. I have a menuBar on the controlBar that is generated dynamically from an external xml file, which includes icons. These icons are lost when state changes from 1 to 2 and back to 1. The icons are embedded as classes within the app. Any ideas how to prevent this?

    Hi wietop,
    To purchase replacement original system discs call Apple Customer Service 1-800-767-2775, and provide the serial number of the Mac.
    However, those will be for the version of OS, that was pre-installed when manufactured.
    But, they will contain the bundled software, that is not included in a Full Retail Version, of a newer OS X. The Apple Hardware Test, specific to the Mac model, will also be included.
    If the original OS, is lower than the current installed version of OS X, you will also need to purchase a corresponding Full Retail Version, of the desired system.

  • Spry dropdown menubar works in everything but IE

    I'm having a problem with a site I just launched. The site: www.gmiloans.com/commercial
    When viewed in IE, the buttons that have a menu overlap with the buttons directly to the left. I've researched left and right but for the life of me, I can't figure out a fix.

    Hi,
    Firstly, I cannot see what you have done because the online code has not changed.
    Secondly, have a look here to see what is wrong with your HTML-code.
    Thirdly, have a look at removing your tables and using DIV's instead as per following example

  • Transitions on clips on different tracks?

    Hello
    Is there a way of putting transitions between clips on different tracks or do I have to continue doing what I do currently a cut the tracks together on one track and then add transitions.
    Many Thanks
    Adrian

    In case your question isn't about technique, but rather of functionality - i.e.. can you get FCP to do such-and-such - then yes, you can place transitions across multiple tracks (and edit points) via the keyboard shortcut for the default transition (Command-T) or the Menubar (Effects > Video Transitions > ... ). Dragging from the Effects tab, unfortunately, won't work for multiple edit points.
    Of course, you'll have to select those edit points, either via Command-clicking or using the Edit Selection Tool, and not the clips.
    Even then, this is not a perfect solution in terms of how transitions will be sequenced (you might find yourself having to adjust transition alignment and/or clip lengths) but I just wanted to cover all the bases.

  • Transition script and button script don't work together

    Hi
    I've been experiementing with actionscripting transitions
    between sections... this is the first site I have tried this with
    (last 3 had swf loaded in one after another rather than
    transitioned between). I used some code from kirupa.com which works
    for loading movies in and out, but I also have some code for my
    movie buttons. I can get one or the other working, but not
    together, so I guess I'm clashing code somewhere, I could do with
    some help please to find what I'm doing wrong...
    The transistion code and calling-up buttons is;
    Code:
    Menubar.b1.onRelease = function() {
    if (_root.section != "about.swf") {
    _root.section = "about.swf";
    _root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
    Menubar.b2.onRelease = function() {
    if (_root.section != "portfolio.swf") {
    _root.section = "portfolio.swf";
    _root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
    Menubar.b3.onRelease = function() {
    if (_root.section != "contact.swf") {
    _root.section = "contact.swf";
    _root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
    and the code I have on my movie buttons is;
    Code:
    on (rollOver) {
    gotoAndPlay("rollover");
    on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
    gotoAndPlay("rollout");
    Is there a way to combine them???
    Thanks. Wayne.

    your on(rollover) handlers are applied to buttons that are
    children of a movieclip that has handlers defined. the parent
    movieclip (Menubar.b1 etc) is going to intercept those mouse
    events.
    to remedy move you on(rollover) etc handlers to your
    movieclip buttons b1, b2 and b3 on MovMenu's timeline.

  • Turn off Browser Toolbars and Menubars

    Greetings:
    I want more real estate in the browser window in which my
    Captivate simulations play. I launch my Captivate simulations from
    a PowerPoint/Articulate presentation.
    Is there a way I can kill all the toolbars and menubar so
    that I can increase the height of my published simulation?
    Also (I'm sneaking another one in!), is there a way I can
    make sure the browser window opens in maximized mode every time?
    Can I control that as well?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Sort of. There are security issues with allowing a web page
    to automatically
    launch in full screen. You have to launch the full-screen
    window from within
    another window. You should, as you surmised, be able to
    ignore the awful
    intermediate screen provided by Captivate, and simply use the
    JavaScript
    that page uses (or a version of it) form Articulate.

  • How can I select just the clips, or just the transitions?

    If I have a timeline with 50 or more clips (or still shots, in my case) with cross dissolves between each one, I would like to select just the clips, or just the transitions, but not both. How do I do this?
    Why? I am creating a video with hundreds of stills and a few video clips, and occasiionally need to change the duration of all stills at the same time (from 3 seconds to 4, for example). Or, if I want all of the cross dissolves to last 1:15 instead of 1:00, it would be nice to select and change them all at once. However, in both cases, I can't figure out how to select all 50 without having to Command-click 50 times.
    Any ideas you have will be appreciated.
    Bart

    To perform the same duration change on just the transitions (cross dissolves, in this example), this technique will work:
    Open timeline index.
    Enter "cross" in the search box (or whatever transition you're wanting to change).
    Select all cross dissolves in list (click one, then type Command-A).
    Click the time strip in the top of the timeline area.
    All of the transitions in the list should now be selected in the timeline.
    Control-D to change duration.
    Enter new duration.
    Hit Return.
    I hope this saves someone all of the time I spent on it today. I'm still ahead, though, thanks to Tom's help. This saved litterally hundreds of Command-clicks.

  • Can you show applications open directly in menubar instead of dock?

    Hi there
    I want to disable dock totally
    But I want to get the functionality in my menu bar
    So i want to show icons of the apps which are open (or at least favourite apps), directly on the menubar
    I don't want them in a folder, I already have an app which does that called xMenu
    I want the actual icons of the Favourite/IfPossible:OPEN apps to directly appear in menubar
    Is there anything that can get some/all of this functionality?

    Well, there probably is; however, a word of caution: the Menu bar is controlled by the System and it may have undesirable results changing system behavior.
    What is it about the dock that bothers you?
    I have all the apps I use on a regular basis in the dock - not a folder, mind you - alias icons to the apps themselves which all open with one click. I rarely use the system supplied Applications folder in the dock. At last count, I had almost 60 app icons in the dock, which is minimized with significant magnification - I have them organized so I can usually hit the right one without having to search. You can also check "automatically show and hide the Dock" so it'll only show itself when moving the cursor over the area.

  • Can not clear transition in MBP

    I have a portable hard drive with a FCP 5.1.2 project on it. Most of this work is was done on an iMac G5. I can delete a cross dissolve transition just fine. However when I have this same project file running the same version of FCP on my Intel MBP, it will NOT delete the transition. It will remove the transistion from the timeline, but the transition is still there on playback! I noticed this same thing when playing with MBPs at the Apple store, but at the time I thought it was something with how the demo computers were set up. How do a delete a cross dissolve on a MBP? Whatever happen to platform independence?

    Weird - I'll have to test it out on my MBP.
    In the meantime try moving opacity up and down at the point where the transition used to be to force it to rerender and see if that makes it go away.

  • Transition Problems in Full Screen View

    Hi.

I've used the Powerpoint 'push left' transition to create a panoramic effect which creates the illusion that the tapestry is being scrolled from right to left  as the viewer clicks through the presentation. It all works very well in Powerpoint as the slides butt up against each other in transition without any 'seam' between them.
    I thought I could simply replicate the effect in Acrobat 9 by converting the presentation to PDF and selecting the 'push left' transition from Advance/Document Processing options then launching the document in full screen view. However, I've found that using a push left transition in Acrobat creates wacking great gaps between the pages as they scroll right to left: this absolutely ruins the whole effect.
    As you can probably tell, I'm pretty much a newbie with Acrobat 9 (but not with other Adobe applications) and I can't work out for the life of me how to get around this problem. Is there someting simple that I'm overlooking on the full screen view options or perhaps in the Powerpoint conversion settings or do I have to start adjusting resolutions etc? Or maybe it's just the nature ofthe beast (do hope not)?
    I'd be very grateful for any enlightenment or advice.
    PS: Forgot to mention the Powerpoint was created in default landscape layout and hence so is the PDF.

    Do you have the PDF version to fill the full screen and not leave borders? If you print to PDF (not create PDF), then a margin is added by default (as when you print to paper). The border can be reduced to 0, but that is an extra step with the print. As I recall, the PDF Maker (create PDF) does not include the margins. Thus the whole margin bit may be the issue.

  • The menubar will not display in full screen

    Hi.
    I have a strange problem in fullscreen mode, on my Macbook pro 15"
    I LOVE fullscreen, and infact the next macbook I will get is the 11" air because of its size and because full screen is so nice to work with.
    But I have a strange problem which I can't find a solution for.
    Suddenly the menubar will not display it self when I move the mouse to the top of the screen. The only way I can access the menu bar is by exiting full screen (ctrl + Cmd + F) and the toggel it back on after I have used the menubar
    This actually makes fullscreen mode useless and its driving me nuts, because this should not happen on Apple software. I would expect these sorts of behaviour on windows but not in osx.
    Anybody have a hint about what to do?

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3881124?start=0&tstart=0     <<<<< GO THERE
    Try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Having problem with FCP 5.1.4 adding transitions. Just new to this app.

    So I get 2 maybe 3 transitions set correct. After that none work properly. ie: lets go for the quicktime zoom transition. So as it zooms out it plays the first quarter of the 1st part of the transition in the zoom box. This is not correct it should be playing the second part of the transition. Anyway about 1/4 of the way through it does play the second half of the transition which is correct and plays the rest of it properly. It does the same for cross dissolve and all other transitions. I have trashed the preferences but that doesn't seem to help. I have also changed the preferences and that doesn't help. OS is 10.5.8; 6g of ram; powermac g5 quad core 2.5ghz;
    Please if anyone can help.
    Below I entered FCP 6 because 5 was not available.

    Just to clarify, by "FCP 5 friendly source material," he means video files that are a format (codec) that FCP 5 supports. What FCP 5 supports can be found in the EASY SETUP list. If the format you are working with isn't there, say if your footage is H.264 or MP4 or some other web compressed format, FCP won't work properly.  It needs to be in an editing codec if you want FCP 5 to work with it.
    Also, you need to make sure that your sequence settings match the settings of the footage you are trying to edit. If you add a clip to the sequence, and immediately have to render, that's a big clue to say that something isn't right. You should edit without rendering at all. 
    The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu. Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence.  This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with.  So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
    This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured

  • Purchasing transitions (and/or creating ones in Motion)

    I'm going to be doing a lot of work for a pretty straight-forward interview type TV show that is looking to spice up its transitions and are open to the idea of purchasing some to go beyond what FCP includes. I was looking at the ones from Eiperle and Eureka (both of which look good, are affordable, and can be used on multiple computers) and Sapphire. I'm wondering A) if there are others I should look into and B) which people recommend for what is essentially an Entertainment Tonight style show.
    Also, I'm wondering if it is possible to create transitions in Motion that can be dropped into FCP (or better yet, if the templates, such as the 'frames/glass' one, can be saved without elements and dropped into FCP as a transition between clips)
    Thanks for your help!

    This link http://www.fxscriptreference.org/ doesn't work for me, it says:

    I really want to make my own scripts in FCP so can you check if this is the right link or if something else is wrong?

  • FAQ: Revel Transition basics: How does this affect the way I use my Adobe software?

    Q: How will this change the way I use my Elements software?
    A: Once you have migrated your files from Photoshop.com to Revel, it will be no longer be possible to sync your photo and video files between your Photoshop Elements Organizer and Photoshop.com.
    If you're using Photoshop Elements 11, you can share your JPEGs from the Elements Organizer to AdobeRevel.com.
    If you’re using Photoshop Elements 10 or earlier version, you won’t be able to directly import from Revel or export to Revel.
    Q: How will this change the way I use Photoshop.com?
    A: Photoshop.com accounts will be remain accessible until the end of the transition period CLICK HERE to see dates and details, but once we begin moving your photos to Revel you will no longer be able to upload photos to your Photoshop.com account.
    After the transition period CLICK HERE to see dates and details, all Photoshop.com accounts will be closed. The Photoshop.com website will remain live and continue to offer product information, trial software downloads, photo editing functionality, customer spotlights, tutorials, and other resources.

    No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
    I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
    Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.
    Good luck,

  • Yoga 2 Pro no longer detects orientation/transitions and lid closing for sleeping

    My Yoga 2 Pro used to detect orientation and transition with no problem and the Transition app would pop-up the notification for Tent mode or Tablet mode, etc.  
    Everything worked great... then, within last couple weeks, it stopped detecting closure of the lid to trigger sleep mode (though the screen would go black) and now I've also found that it has stopped detecting the different modes and will only operate in Laptop mode...  no Tent mode, no Tablet mode, etc.
    Now, to put it into sleep mode, I have to select it from the Start menu and then close the lid (it does detect reopening the lid and wakes up as usual).
    Obviously not having the ability to use those other 3 modes kinda defeats the purpose and value of having a Yoga 2 Pro!
    Suggestions welcome for research to aid in restoring this functionality...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Go to Control Panel >> Device Manager
    There is Sensor devices tab there.
    Can you post a screenshot of how that is looking?
    One thing that you can try.
    Switch off your laptop.
    Disconnect power supply
    Press power button for 30 seconds.
    Then turn on and test.
