Mouse position gets reset randomly from slide to slide

Hi,
I have a software demo that I'm working on (Captivate 5). From slide to slide, usually Captivate uses the start position of the mouse based on the end position of the mouse on the previous slide. But sometimes it seems to lose that position, and starts the mouse at the top left of the screen. Is there any way to change that starting position, or fix this little bug?
Thanks,
Joel

I'm having a similar problem. I've found that my mouse position changes to top left on all slides immediately following a FMR slide. I've tried to manually reposition the mouse origin by drag-and-drop and right-click/align to..., but neither work.
I've installed the 12/10 patch.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

A Playlist based on last played date gets reset randomly

The playlist I use most of the time is one that shows music that hasn't been played in the past 120 days. Lately, at random intervals, the playlist gets reset as if iTunes has forgotten what I played the past day or so. So some songs are having their last played date set back to an earlier time (or maybe a random earlier time, I can't be sure). It looks to me like it's not just what has been played the past day or so that is being affected, but songs that have been played earlier, but not all of them.
I've tried restoring the iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml files from a backup of the previous evening, and when I open iTunes things look OK, but within a minute after starting up the playlist will get reset again. Any thoughts on why this might be happening and how I can hopefully fix things so it won't happen? Thanks very much for any ideas anybody can offer.

Hi,
Thanks for you replay and documentation, but it doesn't give me excatly the functionality I'm after. The only MTD calculation code the document provides is the calculation of the following functionality:
"Month to Date (MTD) u2013 From the 1st of month to u201CKey Dateu201D - for current year." This doesn't give the the functionality I want, which is to retrieve a given vaule for a Key Figure for the last dates of the months in a year to calculate MTD and YTD.
This way I have created the query is to have multiple hidden Key Figures that calculates the MTD and YTD.
In Columns in Query Designer it will look something like this:
Selection: MTD January--> Date = 31.01.2008, Key Figure (Always Show)
Selection: YTD January --> Date= 31.01.2008, Key Figure (Always Show)
Selection: MTD February --> Date= 29.02.2008, Key Figure (Always Hide)
Formula: MTD February --> MTD February - MTD January (Always Show)
Selection YTD February --> Date = 29.02.2008, Key Figure (Always Show)
And so on....
This is off course a simplified version, but it shows the core of the solution. What I want to achive here is that the dates used to get the Key Figures (last date of a month) is calculated as flexible as possible, so that the users can go back and forth in time without worrying about the leap year problem and so on. I have now used an offset from the last date of last year and this is good for all the normal years, but when it is a leap year the query will use wrong dates to get the key figure vaule for the last date of each month.
Any ideas on how to achieve this without creating 12 different Customer Exit variables (one for each end date of each month)?
Thanks

Mouse position based alpha

The script is little buggy and cant seem to figure it out.
When I mouse over set boundary of x,y, mouse position triggers
easing alpha from 0 to 100%.
Following bugs seems to happen:
- On continuous mouse over with in that position, it fades
away on its own and ceases to work until i go in and out of that
area repeatedly.
- On mouse out, there is a pause that depends on how long I
have I have it mouse over.
- Sometimes, after mouse over, it doesnt fade away on mouse
out.
I have made the links absolute so i could control multiple
movie. And with in these movies, there are buttons that has its own
separate actions (loadmovie).
take a look at the script and let me know of any suggestions.
Thank you
speed = 30;
testmovie.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root._xmouse>20 && _root._xmouse<150
&& _root._ymouse>290 && _root._ymouse<327) {
testmovie._alpha += speed;
} else if (testmovie._alpha>0) {
testmovie._alpha -= speed;
};

Try this, you keep adding to the alpha value on your mouse
over even when it is past 100.
testmovie.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root._xmouse>20 && _root._xmouse<150
&& _root._ymouse>290 && _root._ymouse<327) {
if(testmovie._alpha< 100){
if((testmovie._alpha + speed) > 100){
testmovie._alpha = 100;
} else {
testmovie._alpha += speed;
} else if (testmovie._alpha>0) {
testmovie._alpha -= speed;
};

Quartz Composer Photo Booth initialize mouse position or number slider

I am new to this forum so I hope this is the correct place to ask this question.
I am trying to develop a quartz composition for a Photo Booth effect that uses the mouse position or the numeric slider (see the 'Dent' effect in Photo Booth). I have been able to access data created by the mouse or the slider, my problem is that Photo Booth seems to 'reset' the mouse position or slider position to .5 (in a range from 0 to 1) when you first select the effect. I need to figure out if there is away to set the default from .5 to 0.
An example would be if I selected an effect in Photo Booth, I want to have the slider appear all the way to the left (0) as apposed to being in the middle (.5)
Thanks for any help.

Get mouse position during Custom UI Draw event?

I am building a Custom UI for one of my plugin effect.
I want to get the mouse position during the Custom UI Draw event (PF_Event_DRAW), but cannot manage to get it.
From what I understand, it seems we can only get the mouse position during the events PF_Event_DRAG, PF_Event_DO_CLICK, and PF_Event_ADJUST_CURSOR.
I tried to use PFAppSuite4::PF_GetMouse() too, but this resulted in the error message "After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {PF_GetMouse can only be called during valid events.}".
Therefore I want to store the mouse position during PF_Event_ADJUST_CURSOR, and use it later during PF_Event_DRAW.
Where can I store those values in a "clean" way (ensuring there will not be conflicts if two instances of the same effect are running, etc)?
Or is there an easier method to get the mouse position during a Custom UI Draw event?

//SequenceDataVars is the name of your data structure
//this is how you create the sequence data
out_data->sequence_data = PF_NEW_HANDLE(sizeof(SequenceDataVars));
SequenceDataVars *seqData =
(SequenceDataVars*)PF_LOCK_HANDLE(out_data->sequence_data);
//and now you can store stuff in it.
seqData->var1 = 7;
//after it's created, on other calls, you just do a simple cast
SequenceDataVars *seqData = *(SequenceDataVars **)out_data->sequence_data;
seqData->var1 = 100;
//this is how you delete it. (if you don't delete it, it will be saved with
the project, and loaded on the next session. (if you want)
PF_DISPOSE_HANDLE(out_data->sequence_data);
there's more to know, so look up SequenceSetup, SequenceSetdown, ect in the
sample project.

DnD - Get Drop Mouse Position

I want to Drag some image file from a JList, and then drop it on a JPanel. The dropping on the panel functions. The problem is, i would like to get the position of the mouse, when the item is dropped on the panel. I use the panel to visualize graphics with Graphics2D, and the image dragged from the list should then be displayed at the position on the panel, where it is dropped. So how could i get this position? I have added a MouseListener to the panel, but it does not react on the mouse events which are caused by the DnD action.

I am really helpless... Is this a stupid question or does nobody know the answer?
I just want to get the mouse position of the drop, after a drag and drop.
I found a MouseDragGestureRecognizer Class, but i am not able to implement. Actually i have just a JList, from which Strings are dragged, and a JPanel, on which the Strings are dropped.
The drag and dropping functions, but i need the mouse position on the JPanel, when the String is dropped.

Get screen coordinates from 3d position

Hi, When I use 3d JavaScript camera's getScreenFromPosition method, the screen Y returned is always 0. The following is the test code. Did I miss anything? Is there another way to get screen coordinates from 3d? I'd appreciate any help. Xintai // test code ========================== function v3dToScreen(v,w,h) { console.println("\n v=" + v + " w = " + w + " h ="+ h); cam = scene.cameras.getByIndex (0); screenV = cam.getScreenFromPosition(v, w, h); console.println( " converted: mx=" + screenV.x + " my=" + screenV.y); console.println(screenV.toString()); //console.println( " pdf mouse X=" + host.mouseX + " pdf mouse Y=" + host.mouseY); } console.println ("Click a 3D object to test getScreenFromPosition()"); myMouseHandler = new MouseEventHandler(); myMouseHandler.onMouseDown = true; myMouseHandler.onEvent = function(event) { if(event.isMouseDown) { console.println("====== MouseDown ======="); console.println("isMouseDown = " + event.isMouseDown ); for ( i=0; i<event.hits.length; i++ ) { console.println (" hits[" + i + "].position = " + event.hits[i].position ); if (event.hits[i].target != undefined) { v3 = vent.hits[i].position; v3dToScreen(v3,event.canvasPixelWidth,event.canvasPixelHeight); } } } } runtime.addEventHandler(myMouseHandler); // end of test code ==========================

Hi Xintai,
This is a feature i would also like to use. I've tried using the script that you've provided but i cant get it to work. I assume this is the javascript (.js file) that you embed into the pdf? Is this all that's needed?
If you've managed to get this working, could you let me know how you did it?
Thanks

not only absolute function whatever the function i am using except next method, getting exception.
my code :

HT5312 I keep getting an email from Apple telling me that my Apple Id has been successfully reset when I did not reset them. Started early June 2013 and in a month i have had to reset it three times. Apple support was not helpful. Any suggestions?

I keep getting an email from Apple telling me that my Apple Id has been successfully reset. I did not reset it. Since early June 2013 to now i have had to reset it 3 times. It is not an easy one to remember either. Initally I thought it was some pfishing expedition but no purchases have been confirmed by my visa. My kids use my Apple Id to download APs and I am informed when this happens. Nothing strange happening on the financial site at all. Just frustrating as we have to keep updating the ID to use messenger, I cloud etc on all of the devices. I called Apple Support and the girl initally said she knew nothing about this but then spoke to someone else and they are aware of this ongoing problem and are working on it. Any suggestions? Are others having the same problems?

If the system didn't ship with Mountain Lion originally and you didn't purchase Mountain Lion yourself, then you will need to purchase. A purchase by the system's original owner cannot be transferred to you.
Unless you have another system on which you have purchased Mountain Lion, you will need to first install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on the iMac, for which you'll need either the original installation disks, if the iMac came with 10.6, or a retail copy of 10.6. Install 10.6 and upgrade to at least 10.6.6, and then you can buy Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store, presuming of course that the imac can support Mountain Lion. See:
http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/

Is it possible to get the position of a charcter from a string ?

Hi !
Is it possible to get the position of a charcter from a string ?
Example:
@VAR contains the following text "ABCDEFGHIJKLM"
I'am seaching for FGH, it start on pos. 6 en ends on pos 8.
How can I get these numbers 6 and 8 ?
So, I can use them in the MID(text,start,len) function.
Thanks!

Hi Sooraj,
I'll explain more in detail:
From a web-service I get a variable called @Spec.
This variable contains the following:
"MOTORTYPE[CR]D-QW1234[LF]PART[CR]1234-FRD-X[LF]"
or
"MOTORTYPE[CR]ABC[LF]PART[CR]E-435[LF]"
I need the values behind MOTORTYPE[CR] and behind PART[CR]
But youll see that the positions of these values are different each time.
If there is a way to get the (start) position of "MOTORTYPE[CR]" or "PART[CR]" and the (end) position of the first "[LF]" behind that,
then I could use the MID() function to get the correct values.
The values will be displayed in a table view (between other fields).
An ABAP-call/function wont work . . . how should I invoke this within a table column/field object ? (system action ?)

Hi there,
Firstly, try a hard reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
If this doesn't work, try restoring your device. Put it in recovery mode if iTunes doesn't recognise it, and restore it from there. I have linked to instructions below.

You can restore your backup whenever you want from iTunes or iCloud, depending where you made it.
Let us know if you succeeded or need any further help.
I believe you are missing the point. The OP has already restored from back up, but failed to include a specific app in the back up and is trying to recover data for it, which in this case is not possible.

I just reset my computer How do i get the music from my Creative Zen Touch onto my computer aga

Hi, I just had to reset my computer and i lost all my music... how do i get the music from my Creative Zen Touch onto my computer so i can listen to music again on my computer?

itsVASH,
Basically you do the reverse of how you got it onto the player to begin with. You will open up mediasource, select the Zen Touch in the left hand source window, select PC Music Library on the right hand side. Select your songs and press the arrow pointing to the right.

Hi Frank.
Thanks for the response.
Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
Thanks again,
PB

My Mac keeps randomly scrolling down in various software and i have to unpaid and repair mouse to get it to work again.

When trying to work, my MAC suddenly starts scrolling to the bottom of whatever i'm working on - Word, Excel, Outlook, Safari. Batteries are fine. Have to unpair and pair the mouse to get it to work. Not a problem, but when i have to do that 5 times in 10 minutes, not acceptable. Also, the "i" button on the keyboard doesn't work sometimes. Both are wireless MAC products.

okay, you know this is for the Mac pro (desktop mac) rather than the MacBook pro, right? That being said, sounds like you have a problem. Turn off your screensaver, if it's on. if it's a hardware problem, eg the GPU, then take it in. If it's software, try running disk Utility and repair permissions. Failing that, get out your original install dvd's, boot up from them, and try "Archive and Install"
