Navigator transition animation more like android default background animation

Hi,
I'm building an mobile Air app for my tablet.
This app has multiple screens and the user will be navigating through them a lot.
I'm using the navigator push and pop views to accomodate this.
this works perfectly with all the default animations.
My problem is that i would like the animation to be more like the default android background animation.
and by that i mean that one you drag your finger over the screen the next 'view' already comes into the viewing area a little bit (and your current view disappears a little).
If you release your finger to early the view snaps back, if you swipe through you go to the next view.
With the current navigator transition it's an 'all or nothing' swipe, if i swipe i get the next (or previous) view but i don't have the option to drag my screen a little bit to see the first part of the screen i want to navigate to.
Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this with the navigator?
Or am i forced to abandon the navigator and write this transition logic by myself?
I hope i made myself clear, any help is much appreciated.
with kind regards,
Peter Bierman

AIR does not currently have an API to read this particular Android setting. To answer your question, Flex view transitions are independent of the Android system settings.

  • FB Burrito pushView/popView Animation vs Android's Transition Animation

    This question is directed towards the Flash Builder Burrito Development Team:
    When I select "No Animations" on my Android phone, the transition animations within the apps on my phone are all disabled, which is expected.  I've noticed two things regarding "view" transitions within apps developed with FB Burrito (tested on my Android phone: HTC Evo 4G):
    1.  When "No Animations" is selected, the pushView/popView animations still occur, indicating that apps developed with FBB operate independently from Android's transition animation system.
    2.  The frame rate of the view animations within the FBB-developed app is much slower than the phone's frame rate (47-50 fps), even when the frame rate is set to 50 fps within the app; whereas, non-FBB-developed apps' transition animations operate at the phone's frame rate (in this case, 47-50 fps).
    From usability and aesthetic standpoints, this may be problematic:
    1.  If users choose to turn off their phones' animations, they will have to deal with the independently-operated transtion animations with FBB-developed apps (usability issue).
    2.  If users keep their phones' animations on, they will have to deal with the aesthetically unplesant slow transition frame rate of FBB-developed apps (aesthetic issue).
    My question is: Within the final build of FBB, will view transitions operate off of Android's animation system, or will they remain independent?
    PS-LOVE the progress you guys at Adobe are making constantly to make muti-screen development more efficient!  Adobe FTW!

  • How to Change the Projector's Default Background. I would like to change the default backgound from the Apple Starfield to plain black

    I want to be able to change my projectors default background while using my mac book pro. Currently it is showing Apple's signature background. I would like to change it to a plain black background so that when I disengage mirroring the screen the audience sees will go black; thus allowing me to make any necessary changes/switch programs and then engage mirroring. Any suggestions besides using a video switcher?

    It is Not an Apple projector; the image is being pushed from my mac book pro.

  • Default background color issue

    Hi,
    I am trying to change themes at run-time using
    StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(). Whenever I switch to a theme,
    the default theme's background color shows up for a fraction of a
    second. I tried using the "StyleEvent.COMPLETE" event handler but
    it doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to remove this? I want the
    transition from my current theme to the next theme to be smooth
    without the default background color appearing. If anybody can
    please provide a solution for this, It would be a great help.
    Thanks,
    Jai

    a CSS file with loadStyleDeclarations(), it will momentarily flash
    the default, green Halo theme before switching to the new style...
    If I load up my white theme (White.swf -- compiled to swf from css)
    and then I want to change to my red theme (Red.swf) like:
    StyleManager.unloadStyleDeclarations("White.swf");
    StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("Red.swf");
    At the * point in the execution, it will flash the green Halo
    theme instead of just making a smooth transition from white to
    red... It doesn't look so professional...
    I have the same problem when switching themes, and it's very
    annoying... Guess I'll keep an eye on this thread...

  • Speeding up spaces: How to disable the transition animation?

    Is there some way the disable the Spaces transition animation? I would like to change between the different virtual desktop as fast as possible.
    There are some times when it gets quite annoying: when you move to other spaces the screen flickers if there is a big window to be re-drawn.
    Thanks in advance

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to networks in general. It is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe:
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
    Working across a network in general is not supported by Adobe.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
        Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.  It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.

  • Trying to create a text that is on fire or more like a hot branding iron

    Trying to create a text that is on fire or more like a hot branding iron

    Something like this?
    That was from a project I did a few months ago.  Sounds similar to what you want.  I did that in After Effects.
    Basically all I did was add a glow effect to the text and messed around with the glow parameters.  The black smoke is animated and moves on the actual video and is basically some pre keyed smoke footage that I had.  The smoke was originally gray but black looked cooler.
    I'd say it's pretty close to your hot branding iron thing.

  • When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

    When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

    I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

  • Is there a way to speed up or disable the Spaces transition animation in Mountain Lion?

    The Spaces transition animation seems to have gotten slower since upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion. You could disable it with a terminal command up through Lion, but that doesn't work anymore in Mountain Lion. I'm using Ctrl+Arrows to switch between Spaces.

    I''m finally seeing what people are saying
    I've heard quickly gesturing for a space is a solution. Mission control is also fast with switching.
    Although I haven't really timed myself doing that.
    You can send feedback to apple saying you would like it to be faster http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html (make sure you state you're on Mountain Lion)

  • How to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users.

    Hi! I would like to know if there is any possibility to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users. I know that's possible to edit userContent.css or userChrome.css, but this concerns only a profile at a time and being in a domain, I would like to set this for all people using Firefox.
    Can it be possible to edit a mozilla.cfg file to get the same result?
    Thank you in advance for help and tips.

    AFAIK then there is no way to do that system wide. You can only do that via userChrome.css or an extension like the Menu Editor per profile .You can install extensions globally, but the user will have to enable them anyway. That is not required for userChrome.css code.

  • Is there a way to make state transitions/animations of a fl.control states - button for example ?

    Is there a way to make state transitions/animations of a fl.control states - button for example ?
    All I can do now is change the skin design and that's it, I can't animate between states like I can with Flash Builder skins. So is there a way to do that, any technique or I have to create a button component from scratch?
    Thanks!

    simplebuttons have upState etc properties you can use to assign movieclips to the 3 states.  you can use the currentFrame property of movieclps to (appear to) smoothly transition from one state to another.

  • Can I change the transition animation in Preview's full-screen mode?

    When moving through a PDF file in Preview's full-screen mode, the pages slide off to the left/right when using arrow keys (up when using the space bar). I discovered that I can skip this animation by holding down the option key when I hit the arrow key, or by using a four-finger swipe.  But I'd like to use my remote to advance pages in the PDF, and I'd like to get rid of the transition animations permanently.  Is there a way to customize the transition animation preference? I don't see anything in the Preferences to do this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Just as an update, Ralph explained (here) that in Snow Leopard, the iChat application no longer gets it's speed values from QuickTime.

  • Print outs have thin border when -default-background-color is set

    Hey everyone.  In my application the print out have this very thin border.  The -default-background-color is set to #333333 (dark grey) and this is the problem.  When I set the color to #FFFFFF (white), the thin borders go away.
    When I set the default-backgroun-color to #FFFFFF, my loading screen is white.  I don't want that.
    Does anyone know how I can have my loading screen with a #333333, but not have the thin border lines around my print outs?  Setting the border properties on the printed component doesn't work.  The problem is with the background color.
    Thanks for reading.
    Tom

    Still hacking away at this problem.
    I thought I had the fix until I deployed the AIR application.  Setting the -default-background-color to white worked fine when running from flex builder, but when I installed the application.  The "borders" are still showing.
    Has anyone had any experience with this?  I'm printing Point of Sale receipts and they look like crap with these lines around them.  On top of this, some printers print differently.  The HPs print a border around the whole component. The Brother printers just print the left and right.  One of my customer's printers just prints the bottom and right borders.

  • Default Background Colour not Black?

    I'm having a very irritating problem with the Windows default background colour.
    A while ago I had set it to this off-shade of yellow, but now whenever I make a new theme (or even load a saved one) my background colour reverts to this aforementioned yellow instead of whatever I have set it to. Which means my themes can never be saved
    and loaded, lest I want to see that awful colour again.
    A step-by-step process for those who are having trouble understanding my wording:
    make new unsaved theme, bg colour is currently set to yellow. I switch it to black, it works as intended.
    Save this theme.
    Whenever I load the saved theme, the background colour is yellow, not black, despite all other personalizations saving correctly.
    Is there a way to change the default colour so that all themes behave as intended, rather than reverting to my previously selected colour?

  • Default background color and Focuslistener disapair on table?

    When I imp. TableCellRenderer on my table the default background color and Focuslistener disapair. What can I do to get it back and still keep TableCellRenderer on my table? This is how my TableCellRenderer looks:
        public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int col) {
            JFormattedTextField beloeb = new JFormattedTextField();
            beloeb.setFormatterFactory(new DefaultFormatterFactory(new NumberFormatter()));
            beloeb.setBorder(null);
            beloeb.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.RIGHT);
            if (value != null) {
                if (value instanceof Double) {
                    Double val = (Double) value;
                    beloeb.setValue(val);
                    if (val.doubleValue() < 0) {
                        beloeb.setForeground(Color.RED);
            beloeb.setFont(new Font("Verdana",Font.PLAIN, 11));
            beloeb.setOpaque(true);
            return beloeb;
        }

    I'm sorry to say this is a terrible example of a renderer. The point of using a renderer is to reuse the same object over and over. You don't keep creating Objects every time a cell is renderered. In your example your are creating:
    a) JFormattedTextField
    b) NumberFormatter
    c) DefaultFormatterFactory
    d) Font.
    So you start by extending the DefaultTableCellRenderer. A JLabel is used to display the text. There is no need to use a JFormattedTextField. All you want to do is format the data. So in your constructor for the class you would create a NumberFormatter that can be reused to format your data. Then your code in the renderer would look something like:
    if (value instanceof Double)
        Double val = (Double)value;
        setText( formatter.format(val) );
        if (negative)
          setForeground(Color.RED)
        else
            setForeground(table.getForeground());
