[need help with animated gif - shows up fuzzy on IE]

Hi,
I created an animated gif in photoshop cs3 with combination of text and images in Mac. For some reason, the text on the banner looks fuzzy on Internet Explorer. Do any of you know what is wrong with the banner? Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks

How does it look in Firefox on Windows? By only testing one browser on Windows, you cannot determine if it is a matter of the browser or the overall settings for the computer.
Do you have a page to share so that we can see the fuzziness or can you post the GIF file here?

Help with animated gif messages

I can't seem to get animated GIFS with music as a SMS or a MMS to play. They are sent from people with phones like the Razor, LG, Envy etc. on the same network as mine ( Verizon ). When I get the message it will show the GIF for about 1 second then it dissapears, then the music plays. It will also give me the option to open the attachments or slides but the GIFS don't open . I can get Video messages from anyone and the videos plays fine. In the past when I opened one of these messages it would kill the audio on my phone and I would have to do a hard reboot for my phone to work even though I could still receive SMS and MMS messages, just the audio on the phone died. I was told the new OS 4.5 would correct this. The only thing it fixed was now if I get a animated GIF message it still does not play but my phone does work and I don't have to reboot. Is there a setting I need to change or is this not supported? I have 2 Curves 8330 OS 4.5.0.77 BIS on Verizon with the unlimted BB plan.
Thanks,
Leo

I need help with animation with progress bar.

Hi,
I need some help with creating something similar to this site (window opening animation with scrub bar):
http://www.drutex.pl/pl/oferta/okna/okna-pvc/okna-pvc-iglo-5.html
I'm kinda new to flash and all so some tutorials for such thing would be helpful.
Thanks in advance
Oscar

What this will involve is a movieclip/timeline containing images showing the sequence of the motion (like the frames of a movie film) and a Slider component that changes the frame of that movieclip/timeline based on its position.
Here is a link to an Actionscript 3 sample file that demonstrates a Slider providing the control of the timeline...
http://www.nedwebs.com/Flash/AS3_Slider.fla
You could edit the looks of the Slider component if you like by doubleclicking it and the inner parts you want to modify, or you could create one of your own if you have enough know-how to code it to work.

Need help importing animated gif by ImageIcon in Japplet

Hello. Im new to Java, but I want to import this animated gif with Java in a Japplet using ImageIcon, but it does not work and I would really appreciate if anyone could help me with this.
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
     public class Bilder extends Japplet{
     public ImageIcon(java.net."http://pixelninja.se/kappawin.gif");
Image[] bild = new Image[1];
int nr=0;
public void init(){
    setBackground(Color.black);
    bild[0] = getImage(getCodeBase(),"4a.gif");
public void paint(Graphics g){
    g.drawImage(bild[0],50,50,212,282,this);
}

You cant do animated gifs this way.
Also you should remember that you cannot load images in to an applet if it is hosted somewere else than the host that hosts the applet.
Esiast way to display an image icon with a animated gif will be creating a Image Label and adding it to the applet.
Ex:-
public class MyImageApplet extends JApplet{
   public void init(){
      getConentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
       URL imageURL = getClass().getResource("/myImage.gif");
      // Above image file should be in the code base or in the archive file of the applet
      getConentPane().add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(imageURL)));
}

Problems/help with animated GIF exports

I am an experienced Photoshop user. I recently upgraded to CS5 (Windows) and have been attempting to produce animated gif files.
After reading a few tutorials on the topic, I have been able to:
Create a PSD with a few jpg images as layers;
Move the layers to the animation window;
Set the cycle times and optimize the animation window; and,
Use the Save for Web Devices dialog to create the GIF file.
Everything appears to be normal throughout this process. However, the exported GIF file appears as a dark gray frame when I open it in IE, or upload it to my image hosting site.
Anybody else experiencing this type of problem?
Thanks

No, my Photoshop CS5 saves animated GIFs just fine, and I did just what you said. For example (you have to click on an image here to see it animate):
Can you post your image here? Maybe it could be a problem with your browser not animating the image properly? What version of IE do you use?

Help with animated gif please!

Can you embed an animated gif into emails as a signature? i
have tried it in entourage and outlook, but the gif seems to stick
on the first frame. The animation works fine if viewed in a browser
etc. I have also made the email html format.
any ideas?

Open your browser and browse to and select the animated GIF
image. Do you
see the animation? If not, then you have not properly
exported your GIF as
an animated one. What graphics program are you using?

2. I want the player disc to move one step at a time (animation) on the game board.
Please help me I am new to animation. Kindly give a reply

Help with animated gif

I am making an animated gif that is 35 sec long. When I try to Save for the Web it looks like everything is fine but it only saves 22 secs of the gif. I believe there are 1034 frames but it only save 500. Any ideas on why this would be happening would be greatly appreciated.

Need help with animated JLabel

I've created an animated extension of the JLabel which imitates a "typewriter" effect. It works smoothly for single-line labels.
Here is a basic pseudo-code outline of how I went about doing it:
constructor(String fullText, int delay) {
create swing timer
start timer
//called by timer
actionPerformed() {
if (all chars are printed)
    stop timer
else {
    labelStr += fullText.charAt(pos);
    this.setText(labelStr);
    pos++;
}The problem is, whenever It recognises an HTML line break (to make it a multi-line label), all of the text gets bumped up. Here's a rough animation showing my animated label and a regular jlabel...
http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/8459/typewriteranizy1.gif
As you can see, once the line breaks are added to the animated label's text, all the text is moved up. This creates a choppy scrolling effect, something I'm trying to avoid at the moment.
Any ideas on how I could keep the animated text in a fixed position, so it doesn't scroll up like this?
I can provide source code if needed.

Ah yes, my bad. I tried it now but realised I have tried it before, and it doesn't work. i never increments and so it prints the first character every time the timer fires instead. Here is a SSCCE:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TW extends JFrame implements ActionListener
     JLabel iValue = new JLabel("i = ");
     JTextArea log = new JTextArea(10, 20);
     JButton start = new JButton("Start");
     Timer type;
     public TW()
          setLayout(new BorderLayout(0, 0));
          log.setEditable(false);
          log.setLineWrap(true);
          log.setWrapStyleWord(true);
          add(iValue, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
          add(log, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          add(start, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
          start.addActionListener(this);
          setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          pack();
          setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          setVisible(true);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          ActionListener listen = new ActionListener()
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    int i = 0;
                    String msg = "This is a simple typewriter demo.";
                    if (i < msg.length())
                         String str = (String)new Character(msg.charAt(i)).toString();
                         log.append(str);
                         iValue.setText("i = " +i);
                         i++;
                    else
                         type.stop();
          type = new Timer(250, listen);
          type.start();
     public static void main (String[] args)
          new TW();
}

I need help with animation, PLEASE help!

I am trying to create pacman animation by using a series of filled arcs that I create by coding in java. I know how to create the arcs, but I don't know how to use them to create animation. In other words I don't know how to put them in sequence to create animation.
I have searched the web, and all I find is animation that use a series of GIF or JPEG images.
can you please help me or point me to the right direction.
by the way, which of these two animation would run faster? The one that uses GIF images, or the one that would use shapes created in java?
Thanx

Perhaps you could do this two ways
One way, (im not sure if this will work), is to create a .gif file that is already animated. An open mouth animated to a closed mouth. But i don't know if Java will accept this.
The second way would be to create a Thread. And to create however many images you want to display the open to closed mouth. Then continuously change the image so it appears the mouth is opening and closing.
Put in a delay so it doens't go too fast, and there ya have it.
Public void run()
int i =0;
while(true)
myThread.sleep(10);
image = difImage;
}something like that. Might used a bufferedImage and make just use subImage to pull off each picture you need to change.

Need help with digital photos that turn fuzzy in Final Cut Pro 5

I read the whole thread on using still pictures in FCP 5 without finding a solution to the problem I am having these days. The digit pictures I am using are all around 1632 x 1232 pixels (230 dpi), they are about 43.8% after I drop them onto the timeline and I zoom in to no more than 75%. I don't know why dark colour edges in the pictures look pixelated. The picture quality (sharpness) also does not look not as good as it appears in the viewer. I tried resizing them in photoshop before bringing them onto FCP but that does not improve the picture quality. I also tried various video filters: Shift, de-interlace, but without any satisfactory result.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions on this issue.

It's almost to start guessing because you seem to have tried everything. But we can't tell if you applied these changes or filters properly without watching you or your output.
My main problem is pixelated edges especially when there is a big contrast in colour. <</div>
this could just be what you're stuck with. DV and MPEG2 are terrible codecs for hard edges. Professionally produced DVDs are carefully encoded using bigger-badder tools than you have at your disposal.
Don't resize your images in PS, just bring them in full size and scale them locally in FCP. An image that is 1kx1k will only display about one-fourth of the image in the Canvas at full size because the Canvas only displays about 500x700 pixels.
The scaling algorithm in FCP totally blows but it's a video app and should not be compared to PS. You do not need Photoshop scaling quality, wasted energy. What you DO need is proper motion blur for your moves, a bit of Gaussian to hide the inevitable artifacting.
Open the manual and look up rendering options and render settings and realtime settings. The FCP5 settings offer some interesting options with meaningless descriptions.

I need help with animating a walk cycle

I have a person created and have a script that helps everything move right I am just having trouble getting the walk cycle to look and act properly. I want to use the loopOut expression to use this composition in another movie. Any help offerend would be greatly appreciated.

Mylenium is correct, I've animated quite a few walk cycles in various different techniques and all I can say is that each technique is so radically different it really just depends on how and what you're trying to achieve. Not only that, the quality of the movement in the animation itself so much depends on the feeling and story you're trying to get across. What looks wrong to someone, might look right to someone else. You might want a totally weird walk cycle for your character becuase that might tell the audience something completely different about who and what they are. Without seeing anything there's no possible way to advise. In the meantime, I highly recommend looking at a hand-drawn film from 1978 called "Satiemania" by Zdenko Gasparovic. The beginning is all walk cycles of different types and I think it could be inspiring for any character animator who's interested in animating walk cycles.

Need help with Flash Slide Show

Hello, Flash friends.
I recently put together a Flash photo album for a client of
mine. She wants to be able to upload new images, so I created it
with XML using the following action-script:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image
= xmlNode.childNodes.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description
= xmlNode.childNodes.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");
listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
prevImage();
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
nextImage();
Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextImage();
p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
function prevImage() {
if (p>0) {
p--;
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
function firstImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[0];
picture_num();
function picture_num() {
current_pos = p+1;
pos_txt.text = current_pos+" / "+total;
As you can see, the images can only be viewed by clicking a
"next" or "previous" button.
Well, my client has since decided that she would like to drop
the buttons and have the images automatically change from one to
another while the user sits back and watches. This seems like such
an easy code to add, but I am a novice at this, and I cannot find
any forums or tutorials that give a proper code which I may copy
and paste into this pre-existing code.
Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Thank you!!!!!

Here's my quick suggestion:
Add a <link> child element to your <pic> elements
- each <link> would be a sibling of each <image>, like
this:
<pic>
<image>filename.jpg</image>
<link>
http://www.example.com</link>
</pic>
Then, in your loadXML function, add this:
link = []
for(...){
link
= xmlNode.childNodes.childNode[2].firstChild.nodeValue
Finally, in each function where you call picture.loadMovie(),
add a line below it:
picture.onRelease = function(){
getURL(link
