Moving objects in flowed subform

Hi,
I've got a dynamic table (adding and removing rows) within a subform. When I set the subform to flowed, the arrangement of the objects is moved somewhere on the page and the page break works but I can't move the objects anywhere else...
Any Help?
Thank you

Are you using a SAP integrated version of Livecycle? Your issue sounds very similar to one a colleague and I have had. We had been unable to manipulate objects within a form as we would want, objects would place themselves in unwanted places and then not allow us to move or resize them.
There is a known issue with some of the earlier patches and I think patch 9 is ok.
Another issue might be your O/S? We also had to revert to XP workstations to solve some of our other issues as Vista was causing all sorts of problems and it has since been brought to our attention that it is not compatible with Livecycle version 7.x and 8.x.
Hope that helps!

Multi page flowed subforms - help/resources

Hi,
Im having trouble with "flow" and multi pages subforms.
I got a copy of JP Terry's book and also purchased the PDF bible - neither seem to have what i need.
My forms are about 6 pages long each, and i want them to expand a contract based on user interaction (ie they are asked to tick a checkbox to add another beneficiary etc on a number of occasions).
I can get the individual pages to expand and contract within themselves, but can not get subforms to flow properly over multiple pages.
This is really a problem for us, as we dont want big white spaces if the client does not tick yes for example.
Can anyone recommend a book, article or whatever on flowing multipage subforms
i am setting allow page breaks and expand to fit etc and still not working. im on ES 8.2 (acrobat 9 pro)..........
I tried to get the forms "finished off" by a contractor but they wanted 125 US (270 NEW Zealand dollars, or about 3 days average wages here) an hour which is a killer for a startup.....so any help or guidance much appreciated as were stuck... and have been for a month now......
happy to send a file for people to see what im on about...........
thanks

Please see a working version of your form attached.
I used the following concepts to fix your issue:
"invisible" versus "hidden" - Setting a subform to invisible will hide all the subform's objects, but will preserve the whitespace. For a form to expand and contract you must set subform visibility to "hidden"
Positioned subforms have fixed height - Setting a positioned subform to "visible" will result in whitespace when some/all of its content is hidden
Flowed hierarchy - For a Flowed subform to collapse and expand correctly all of its parent subforms up the hierarchy to the root node must also be Flowed. A good test is to click on an object within the subform that is not flowing correctly and navigate up the hierarchy using the left arrow key whilst keeping an eye on the Subform pallet. Any content that is Positioned needs to be changed to Flowed
This resulted in the following changes in your form:
Change the initialise event on more_trustess from this.presence = "invisible"; to this.presence = "hidden";
Moved tee4-sub out of the positioned tee3-sub
Set p2 to Flowed

Position Content vs. Flow Subforms w/XML

Hi:
Does position content versus flow content subform have any thing to do with the way the XML file is generated? For fields that are optional on my form, I'm getting a separate XML node that looks like:
This seems to be breaking my ADO code that inserts from the XML documents based on pdf files. I'm wondering why it's generated if it's not meaningful other than to indicate something like... this field has nothing in it!
Thanks -- Ginger

Virginia,
The difference between "Position content" property and "Flow content" property in a subform is the subform with "Position content" property set will position the objects in the subform according to their X and Y coordinates whereas the subform with "flow content" property set will position the objects in the subform during the data merging process. This way, there are no objects are being renderred on top of each others.
The problem that you are experiencing is that you probably have the field placed inside a "flow content" subform. This results in getting additional XML node. By having this field placed some where else (not inside of a "Flow content" subform), you probably will not get unwanted XML nodes.

Expanding text box in flowed subform

Hi,
I have a text box in a flowed subform. The layout is set to exapnd to fit. What am I missing?
I attached an example of what I'm working with...
Thanks!

Can you describe a bit more precisely what your problem is?
In the PDF I only see 3 lines of text and no dynamic elements at all.
What part of your PDF is not expanding?

Interlace problems with moving objects using iDVD

I had an MP4 file (created by a 3rd party) from a Hi-8 analog tape which has some interlace artifacts on moving images (left image of boy) but not too bad. When the MP4 files was imported into iMovie 11 the interlace artifacts smoothed somewhat - that was OK (right image of boy). The camera was still and the boy was moving. Vertical lines on stationary objects are OK in all images. These are screen captures from the Mac of the mp4 played through quicktime and the same file imported into iMovie 11 and played. I paused both to take the screen capture.
The completed project in iMovie 11 looked OK when previewed prior to rendering. These are 20 year old videos so my expections were being met.   I rendered the project with iDVD to the hard drive first and then to a DVD with the same poor imaging result on the moving object. I am using a new Macbook Pro I bought in early January which came with iMovie 11 and iDVD Ver 7.1.2 (1158). Running Mac OS X 10.7.3 Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz Corei7   8GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.
I couldn't screen capture from the MAC DVD player screen to illustrate the poor result (got a checkerboard screen) so I took a photo of the screen and imported that (below). The moving boy on the left is from an iMovie 11 screen capture, the image on the right is the moving boy from the rendered DVD I paused on the Mac (and took a pic of).
Below a close up of the poorly rendered moving boy viewed on the resultant DVD. This translates into a horrible rendition of any quick moving object. It happens with any moving image - i.e. a pan across a room with straight vertical lines like edges of a wall will show as serrated and poorly rendered edge. I used a trial version of the Daniusoft DVD creator with the same result! I am at a loss on how to resolve this issue. Any thoughts out there??
I had previously used Pinnacle Studios on my old XP PC which worked great on other tape's Mpeg files and created great DVD's (never had an interlace problem) ... until my computer died ..... so I figured Apple and associated software should be at least equal if not a superior product.   Now I'm not too sure!

Positioning moving objects

I'm getting ready to make a 2d game and wasn't sure how to draw moving objects on the screen. I've played around in the past and always had a fixed sized window and basically moved objects around on a pixel grid. I want to have a resizeable window but keep the relative size and movements of objects the same. How is this usually done? Should I just render it to the largest possible window size and then transform it to the appropriate size? Thanks in advance!

1- Store locations by ratios, not exact coordinates. So if you want a GameObject's location to be in the direct middle of the screen, its position would be (.5, .5). Then when you go to draw that GameObject, you have to convert that position to screen coordinates. You do this simply by multiplying the ratio-coordinates by the game window's width or height.
2- Store locations by some model coordinates. This is similar to the first method, but requires some extra translation. You would store the GameObject's location via coordinates such as (50, 50), but you would also have to keep track of how large your game window model was (for simplicity's sake, let's say it is 200 by 100):
drawPoint( (gameObject.getX() / 200) * gamePanel.getWidth(), (gameObject.getY() / 100) * gamePanel.getHeight() );Does that make any more sense?
Edit- I should say that there probably are a ton of other ways to do it, these are just the ways that most easily fit into my head. It's all just algebra though.

How do you filter out moving objects in a movie?

Hello!
I'v searched the internet for solutions to this but I cann't find any.
Im prittie new and I need to make a house on fire while two guys (one is me)
will be walking away from it, towards the camera.
I want to filter out these two guys and only apply fire and flames to the house itself!
To do this I used Time Diffrence and tried to isolate the guy using Fast Blur and Luma Key
but Im prittie lost.. Nothing works and I really need guidence
Do you know a trick to use?
I cant do greenscreening as the green background would cost a fortune..
But isn't there anyway to filter out moving objects?

I'm not sure that you totally get the process. This kind of shot requires at least 3 elements or plates. These three plates become three layers in After Effects. The bottom layer would be the Background Plate which is a shot of the house without any actors in the shot. The next plate would be the Effect Plate or Fire Plate which could be any shot you can get or generate through plug-ins of flames. The top layer would be your Foreground Plate or your two actors.
Now that you know what you need you can plan your shoot. The background plate is easy. Just set the camera on a tripod and lock it off. NO zooming. No panning, No change of focus. The foreground plate is also easy. You don't have to green screen the entire set, all you need to do is to put a green screen behind your actors. I do this kind of thing all the time using a 6' X 6' (sometimes smaller) green screen (or blue or red or purple) made of fabric and stretched over a frame that I made from 1/2" EMT electrical conduit and 4 90º elbow connectors for less than $20 at Home Depot or Lowes. You get a couple of assistants to walk behind your actors holding the green screen behind them. If you need to include their feet they can be easily rotoscoped out later and you can garbage matte everything else. If it's impossible to green screen the shot then you are stuck with roto, but that's much easier in CS5 using the roto brush. If you use your show with the actors as the background plate roto is even easier because you can hide a multitude of sins by simply feathering the roto and letting the fire light wrap around the actors a bit.
The fire plate can be purchased footage, or you could shoot a real fire against a black background, or you could create the flames using AE or even a 3D app like Blender (free) or a bunch of other apps.
Making the shot look real requires a few tricks once you have your clean plates. Fire creates light so you've got to add lighting effects to the background plate to sell the fire. You've also got to wrap light around your actors. Look for tutorials on light wrap for this. You can really help sell the effect if you place some flickering light sources behind and to the side of your actors when you shoot the foreground (actors) plate.
Once you get a handle on these techniques it's fairly easy to make the transition to pulling of this kind of a shot with a hand held camera (now you have to learn motion tracking). On a project I recently completed we had to put a fire in a prop fireplace while actors moved around bringing milk and cookies for Santa. It was all roto and the fire was shot at night with nothing more than a black cloth (Duvetyne) behind the fireplace grate. The final composite was 10 layers and was so totally believable that no one questions the shot.
The layers were from top to bottom, reflection in grandmas glasses, light wrap, actors (roto of original background plate), fire flicker layer, color mask layer (more orange around fire, fire glow layer, fire layer in Add mode, second fire layer in screen mode, third fire layer Luma keyed, and finally the original plate which contained all the actors, carefully lit with flickering firelight simulated by dangling a stick with fabric cut into 1/2 inch wide strips about one foot long in front of a orange gelled light behind and to the right of the actors.
If I get a chance I'll post a screenshot.

Blur moving object in AE CS6

Hi:
I need to blur a moving object:
- The effect is only needed at some point of the video, it must appear, and then disappear, not being on screen the whole time.
- The object is moving, and changing shape, the blur must adapt to it.
- I've been trying to use the "Track Motion" option with Position & Rotation, then the "Analyze Forward" button, but the thing makes a mess all over, it's not following the object at all, then if You try to adjust it manually, it's only done in 1 frame, in the other frames the thing is off the object, then the "Tracking" stays on screen.
Thanks in advance.

Are you saying that you have something in some video that you have shot that you want blurred out? If so, you could create an adjustment layer with a mask on it over the object you want to blur and then just animate the mask over time. Now, you could use motion tracking to help that mask follow the object, but it sounds like you are having trouble with getting it to work properly. Try the tips here for doing motion tracking correctly. Alternatively, you could follow the tips on rotoscoping to make the mask animation go more quickly. Also, if you have After Effects version 12 (also known as AE CC), you can use the new mask tracker feature.

Lines on moving objects

When I export DV clips from FCE I get lines appear on moving objects, (HDTV). When I export the same clip using iMovie08 it all looks smooth.
I've tried the de-interlace, it made it worse.
How can I get rid of the lines in FCE?

... What is the _best setting to export_ from imovie HD 6 to idvd to prevent this yet still maintain DV quality?
.. not to export at all, that simple..
the zillions of Export options could cause trouble.
simply, store your iM projects in the 'Movies' folder of your Mac ...
iDVD will 'find' them automatically and cares for itself to import..
Plan B)
drag'n drop the whole project from Finder to iDVD.. again: no export involved, no trouble..

When I render and Export there are these little lines around moving objects

When I render and Export there are these little lines around moving objects, what are they and how do I fix it?

The lines are caused by the video being interlaced.
If you export to DVD they should no longer appear. However, if they don't disappear you can use the Deinterlace filter on the footage whilst in FCE.
How are you exporting ..... QT Movie or QT Conversion ....... and what are you exporting to - the internet or DVD?

Video titling behind moving objects

i recently saw a titling effect in a video, in which a motorcycle drove across the screen and as it passed a title appeared behind it. how does one create video titling behind moving objects? i have no experience in animation, so i'm guessing that the video layer is duplicated and the top layer masked, frame by frame? would an 8-point garbage matte work?

You won't have an easy time doing this in FCP, but Motion, After Effects, or ultimately Shake, can do this a lot easier. You have to rotoscope the motorcycle, accounting for the rims, and space between the engine parts, or anywhere else where you would logically see through to the background, then duplicate that layer on top of the original, with the text in between the two layers. Depending on how long the clip is, you're in for a long haul. But if the footage is anything but DV25, clip analysis and automated keyframing might serve you well as a starting point after the initial mask is made.

Targeting all objects in multiple subforms with a shared name throughout a form

Hi
Jono Moore was able to find an excellent solution from an original by Radzmar for targeting subforms throughout a form that share a name:
function hideSubs(vNode) {
     if (vNode.className === "subform") {
          //name of subform you're targeting
          if (vNode.name === "targetSub") {
               vNode.presence = "hidden";
     for (var i = 0; i < vNode.nodes.length; i += 1) {
          hideSubs(vNode.nodes.item(i));
hideSubs(xfa.form);
Has anyone any thoughts on how to extend this functionality to select the object within those subforms?
So:     (1) find all subforms with the shared name (a solution above), then
          (2) select all objects inside those subforms only (all types: text fields, radio buttons, check boxes, etc.).
The intention is to lock these down and to apply a colour change (from white to grey) as a visual cue. The solution above allows the background colour of the subforms to be changed, but what is required in this case is a colour change to the value backgrounds of the objects within those subforms only.
Any thoughts grately appreciated.
Thanks

Francis play around with the above code, it's a simplified version of the script you are using.
I've used that node traversal script for a bunch of stuff myself but I'm trying to wrap my head more around Radzmar's simplified version as it looks like it would be a lot faster for larger forms. And it's getting into areas I don't know much about so I'm learning stuff too!

SAP RE-FX RERAPP - making Object Cash Flow posting while Partn.Rel. Cash flow gives Error (due to missing House Bank)

Hello Experts,
We have an issue with the Object Cash Flow makes postings while the Partner.Rel. Cash Flow gives an error due to missing House Bank in the Posting Parameters on the contract.
Result is an double/tripple etc. booking on the Object Cash Flow which not is showing on the Flow Overview in the contract and no booking on the Partner.Rel. Cash Flow.
This goes on until the missing House Bank is corrected.
We want to know if we can block the Object Cash Flow making definitive postings until the original Partner.Rel. Cash Flow is posted.
Hope to hear from you, thanks in advance!
Saskia Ismail

Hi.Saskia Ismail
You can think the 2-Type of posting procedure.
1. You just only manage 'Partner.Rel. Cash flow' of each condition & flow type.
    In this cases, you do not configure "Distribution Formula" on the "Condition type" configuration.
   (RECACUST>Conditions and Flows>Condition Types and Condition Groups)
2. You want to manage both of 'Partner.Rel. Cash flow' and 'Object Cash Flow'. but when you posting this cash flow, if you want to block the Object
   Cash Flow making, you can use 'Enhancements' of the 'RECACUST>Accounting>Automatically Generated Accounting
   Documents>Enhancements>Prevent Object Transfers' as below.
Prevent Object Transfers :
- You can use this BAdI if you want to suppress object transfers (transfer from the contract to assigned rental objects) during periodic posting.
- Implement the method SUPPRESS_TRANSFER_POSTING and set the parameter cf_suppress_transfer there to 'X'.

Yeong Chul, Jeong
