Need help with idea
Hi,
I recently replaced my MacBook Pro 13" 2011 model with a new HDD, I had the origional Hitachi, 320GB / 5400RPM HDD removed as it broke and lost everything on my Mac as I had no backup HDD at all. I now have purchased a new Seagate 750GB / 7200.4RPM HDD which seems very nice. I had to buy the new Mountain Lion to get back to where I was as before I used the normal Lion OS X.. For some reason the new Mountain Lion OS X runs slow still as did the old Lion OS X.. As Snow Leopard was very fast on start up and shut down.. One thing that really annoyed me about the new Mountain Lion is it removed the zoom in interface part of what I used quite a lot where you hold Alt + 2 fingers on touch pad to zoom in etc. Anyway enough of that Back to my question and info in which I need.
Basically I like to game. I know Mac's aren't built for gaming but hopefully my new HDD can stand gaming etc. But to cut a long story short I'd like to play Skyrim (Offline MMO) I'm sure a lot of you know about the game or have heard of it. But sadly Skyrim is only available on PC / XBox and PS3. I do know about the MAC download of it but I hear it is very buggy and I'd also like to buy and download the DLC (downloadable content) which recently came out on PC for the game.
So I was wondering.. If I bootcamp my Macbook Pro's new HDD of 750GB to let's say 200GB to Windows and the rest 500GB to my Mac Mountain Lion OS X, will I need virus protection if I am to play and offline game like Skyrim but yet visit the odd internet site to download mod's or the DLC packs? Also will my new HDD stand the game itself? I do hear that the mac will be fine with my new HDD as it's really powerful but will the rest of the Mac components be okay like the fan cooling system, the motherboard etc? I did play World of Warcraft in the past on the old HDD which died after 14months of owning the Mac! Lol but hopefully I shall be ok now. If it is a bad decission to try and play a game as big as Skyrim on a Mac with boot camp then it is no big worry I can live without it. But I'd really love to hear your ideas of this if it is ok or not etc, etc.
Thanks!
Yes, it is suggested that you run some kind of AV software on your Windows partition if it's bootcamped. Reason being, you're going to be connected to the web on it no matter what at some point. Why not be safe. Just use something that's available for free. Avast is my suggested course, but there are others. For me Avast has been reliable and hasn't ever slowed down any of my systems.
As for your hardware. Check the requirements of the games vs the hardware specs you have (mostly CPU/RAM/VIDEO). In terms of failure due to heat... anything is possible, but unless you have irrefutable proof that the previous HD failure was due to excessive heat during prolonged periods of time, you cannot say that's what did it. Could have just been a normal HD failure.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service
Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Phenix City, Alabama 36869Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.
That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here
I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

I need help with event structure.
I am trying to feed the index of the array, the index number can vary from 0 to 7.
Based on the logic ouput of a comparison, the index buffer should increment
or decrement every time the output of comparsion changes(event change). I guess I need to use event structure?
(My event code doesn't execute when there is an event at its input /comparator changes its boolean state.
Anyone coded on similar lines? Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks in advance!You don't need an Event Structure, a simple State Machine would be more appropriate.
There are many examples of State Machines within this forum.

Need Help with Address Display
I need help with APEX.
Here's my situation:
I have a report that displays brief employee information. Among the information displayed is the Address. Right now, it's display as:
Mr X
Employee Id
Accounting Department
Address 1
Mr X
Employee Id
Accounting Department
Address 2
I would like it to display
Mr X
Employee Id
Accounting Department
Address 1
Address 2
1) I have thought of using the Break functionality; however, the function only allows break at column 1, 2, 3. As you can see Address starts at column 4. Also, Address has a few columns; Address Line 1, Address Line 2, City, State, Zipcode.
2) Stragg functions - I'm not sure how to implement it since it has more than 1 columns.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
AndrewThe example I gave you, using analytic functions is a simple one.
Now, you are saying:
1. some of the employees may have two adresses?
2. if this is the case, your employee appears in the report twice?
3. you don't want his name, employee id and accounting department to appear twice?
4. only his address has to be displayed?
If the answer to all the questions is yes, this kind of query will help you. I repeat:
SELECT CASE
WHEN LAG (employee_id) OVER (ORDER BY employee_id) =
employee_id
THEN NULL
ELSE employee_name
END employee_name,
CASE
WHEN LAG (employee_id) OVER (ORDER BY employee_id) =
employee_id
THEN NULL
ELSE employee_id
END employee_id,
CASE
WHEN LAG (employee_id) OVER (ORDER BY employee_id) =
employee_id
THEN NULL
ELSE accounting_department
END accounting_department,
street, postal_code, city, state, country
FROM your_employees_table;Give it a try.

I need help with the following:
I am currently making a Harry Potter short film and I'm doing a spell that hits my friend and my friend needs to be blown backwards (if you know what I mean, he needs to like kinda fly backwards because of the force from the spell).
Can you in anyway help me with this or give me an idea on how to proceed?
I've been thinking of setting a green screen up where the person jumps backwards on a mattress or similar.
Thank you so much, I really hope you can help me.
I have been searching the web for a long long time and didn't find any answer.

Skype: asgerrockzBe careful here. Someone yanking on another person rigged with a professional harness can suffer permanent spinal injury. I have a home and a family and I wouldn't attempt even a simple version of this kind of stunt without a rider on my liability policy, a professional and therefore bondable stunt coordinator, and a trained stunt person. No offence Todd but I'd never yank someone backward by a wire or cord attached to their torso.
You can do this very gently by having the actor just throw out their arms and jump backwards a bit then do the majority of the move in AE. Having the camera on a simple slider would also help. As the actor jumps back dolly the camera back on a slider.

Need help with a Spreadsheet style app
I was just wanting some help in working with developing an app for my iphone... i had previous experience in microsoft visual basic but i don't quite understand this code....
I am in flight school and trying to develop an app that reflects the weight an balance forms we do... I am stuck on how to do basic multiplication and division with xcode, i have viewed several videos and tutorials but they each do things differently and i can't seem to bring it together into this app.
So in the picture below.... what i need help with is how to do the following
from
aircraft weight * arm = Moment outbound
front seats * arm = Moment outbound
to fuel @ landing
"0" fuel weight = aircraft weight + front seats + rear seats+ Baggage 1 + baggage 2
If anyone has any ideas or can lend me some tip or places that deal with stuff like this that would be greatA character class [...] robs some otherwise special codes from their magic. The +, for instance, is interpreted as a plus, not as "repeat ad nauseum" anymore.
So your try [\d+] will simply match either a single digit or a single plus. The solution is to move the + outside of the character class
[\d]+
.. and in that case there is no reason anymore to create a class for just digits, as you got it already.
The period *needs* to be escaped, because otherwise it will match *any* character.
Try this for a change:

I need help with creating PDF with Preview...
Hello
I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.I can't find it. I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard. Any other ideas? -

Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

Need help with writing a query with dynamic FROM clause
Hi Folks,
I need help with an query that should generate the "FROM" clause dynamically.
My main query is as follows
select DT_SKEY, count(*)
from *???*
where DT_SKEY between 20110601 and 20110719
group by DT_SKEY
having count(*) = 0
order by 1; The "from" clause of the above query should be generated as below
select 'Schema_Name'||'.'||TABLE_NAME
from dba_tables
where OWNER = 'Schema_Name'Simply sticking the later query in the first query does not work.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks

Remember that anything inside quotes is case-sensitive. Is the owner really "Schema_Name" with a capital S and a capital N, and 8 lower-case letters?
Simply sticking the later query in the first query does not work.Right; the table name must be given when you compile the query. It's not an expression that you can generate in the query itself.
Any pointers will be appreciated.In SQL*Plus, you can do something like the query bleow.
Say you want to count the rows in scott.emp, but you're not certain that the name is emp; it could be emp_2011 or emp_august, or anything else that starts with e. (And the name could change every day, so you can't just look it up now and hard-code it in a query that you want to run in the future.)
Typically, how dynamic SQL works is that some code (such as a preliminary query) gets some of the information you need to write the query first, and you use that information in a SQL statement that is compiled and run after that. For example:
-- Preliminary Query:
COLUMN my_table_name_col NEW_VALUE my_table_name
SELECT table_name AS my_table_name_col
FROM all_tables
WHERE owner = 'SCOTT'
AND table_name LIKE 'E%';
-- Main Query:
SELECT COUNT (*) AS cnt
FROM scott.&my_table_name
;This assumes that the preliminary query will find exactly one row; that is, it assumes that SCOTT has exactly one table whose name starts with E. Could you have 0 tables in the schema, or more than 1? If so, what results would you want? Give a concrete example, preferably suing commonly available tables (like those in the SCOTT schema) so that the poepl who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post questions on this forum but I can't find anywhere to talk to helpful people about programming.
I'm making a dnd interface for JComponents. So far I've made a simple program that has a Component that can be lifted from a container and braught to the glass pane then later moved to anywhere on the screen and dropped into the container below it. Here's where my problems come:
1) Rite now my 'Movable Component' is a JPanel which is just colored in. I want to either take a Graphic2d from a JComponent/Component and draw it on the JPanel or change the JPanel to the component I want to paint and disable the component.
The problem with getting the Graphics2d is that if the component isn't on the screen it doesn't make a graphic object. I tried messing with the ui delicate and overriding parental methods for paintComponent, repaint, and that repaintChildren(forget name) but I haven't had luck getting a good graphics object. I was thinking of, at the beginning of running the program, putting 1 of each component onto the screen for a second then removing it but I'd rather not. I'd also like to change the graphics dynamicly if someone stretches the component there dropping and what not.
The problem with disabling is that it changes some of the visual features of Components. I want to be able to update the Component myself to change how it looks and I don't want disabling to gray out components.
I mainly just dont want the components to do any of there normal fuctions. This is for a page builder, by the way.
Another problem I'm having is that mouseMotionListener is allowing me to select 2 components that are on top of one another when there edges are near each other. I don't know if theres a fix to this other than changing the Java Class.
My next problem is a drop layout manager, but I'm doing pretty good with that rite now. It'll problem just move components out of the way of the falling component.
One last thing I need help with is that I don't want the object that's being carried to go across the menu bar and certain areas. When I'm having the object being carried I have it braught up to the glass pane which allows it to move anywhere. Does anyone have any idea how I could prevent the component from being over the menu bars and other objects? I might have to make 1 panel is the movable area that can then be broken down into the 'component bank', 'building page' and whatever else I'm gonna need.
This is all just test code to get together for when I make the real program but I need to make sure it'll be possible without a lot of hacking of code.
Sorry for the length. Thanks for any help you can give.The trick to making viewable components that have no behaviour, is to render them onto an image of some sort (eg a BufferedImage). You can then display the Image on a JLabel that can be dragged around the desktop.
Here is a piece of code that does the component rendering for you. This particular example uses a fixed component size, but you can modify that as you choose of course...public class JComponentImage
private static GraphicsConfiguration gConfig;
private static Dimension compSize = new Dimension(80, 22);
private static Image image = null;
public static Image getImage(Class objectClass)
if (gConfig == null)
GraphicsEnvironment gEnv = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
GraphicsDevice gDevice = gEnv.getDefaultScreenDevice();
gConfig = gDevice.getDefaultConfiguration();
image = gConfig.createCompatibleImage(compSize.width, compSize.height);
JComponent jc = (JComponent) ObjectFactory.instantiate(objectClass);
jc.setSize(compSize);
Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
g.setColor(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
g.fillRect(0, 0, compSize.width, compSize.height);
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
jc.paint(g);
return image;
}And here is the class that makes the dragable JLabel using the class above...public class Dragable extends JLabel
private static DragSource dragSource = DragSource.getDefaultDragSource();
private static DragGestureListener dgl = new DragMoveGestureListener();
private static TransferHandler th = new ObjectTransferHandler();
private Class compClass;
private Image image;
Dragable(Class compClass)
this.compClass = compClass;
image = JComponentImage.getImage(compClass);
setIcon(new ImageIcon(image));
setTransferHandler(th);
dragSource.createDefaultDragGestureRecognizer(this,
DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY,
dgl);
public Class getCompClass()
return compClass;
}Oh and here is ObjectFactory which simply instantiates Objects of a given class and sets their text to their classname (very crudely)...public class ObjectFactory
public static Object instantiate(Class objectClass)
Object o = null;
try
o = objectClass.newInstance();
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("ObjectFactory#instantiate: " + e);
String name = objectClass.getName();
int lastDot = name.lastIndexOf('.');
name = name.substring(lastDot + 1);
if (o instanceof JLabel)
((JLabel)o).setText(name);
if (o instanceof JButton)
((JButton)o).setText(name);
if (o instanceof JTextComponent)
((JTextComponent)o).setText(name);
return o;

Hi
I really need help with re-activating my little sisters iPad, i already set it up a couple of months ago when i bought it,but unfortunately she disabled it by forgetting her password. i followed the necessary steps to reset it again, when the iPad came back on and we put the apple id and password it kept refusing it, i even reset the password, which sent the verification the email account, i followed the steps to reset, But then i noticed the message at the top of the activate screen with the message “this iPad is currently linked to the following apple ID _______ with a a few hidden dashes, but at the end of the email it says co.uk, but the problem is the email ends with .com. I have no idea how this happened, and its driving me insane and my little sister only used her iPad for a month before this happened. for some reason the the iPad email address ends in co.uk when the actual email ends with .com

Subject: need help with Editor
Try making a direct desktop icon for the Organizer and Editor and that will bypass the welcome screen and any advertising.
On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails)
Select it and click OK
Click next
Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
Then click finish
You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
+You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application (.exe file which has the blue PSE icon). As before take out Photoshop Elements just leaving the description Editor and it will show up clearly on the desktop.
+You can keep the standard Photoshop icon which links to the welcome screen but I prefer to delete it from the desktop. If you ever need to get to the welcome screen you simply click Window >>Welcome on the top menu when the application is open.

Just upgraded from earlier blackberry and have two problems I need help with!
First, in rearranging the icons my browser icon disappeared and I can't get it back even when I use the show all function. Any ideas?
Second, unlike my earlier blackberry, messages I sent from my office laptop are not appearing in my messages. What setting do I need to tweak? I like my blackberry to show all the messages sent from or received by the laptop.
Thanks.
LaurenMy BB setting was to not hide sent messages, but the problem I think has to do with the settings on syncing with my computer. Messages I send from the blackberry show up as sent - but I want the BB to match completely with the email on my computer - show every email received and every email sent. That was how the old BB was set up. Any ideas on what else to tweak either on the desktop or the BB? Thanks for your help.

Ok the video that you can see on my youtube is the one I need help with. The video is actually in 1080p and I have no idea why it is showing in such a low resolution, but that is not the problem. I need to track the gun and add a null to that track, after that I want to add a red solid layer and bring down its opacity a little, to simulate a laser sight from the gun.Then I tried to parent and SHIFT parent the red solid to the track, the end product would have to look like what you can see in the picture. I have watched a TON of videos about tracking and just can not the the result I need. the laser needs to follow the gun as I aim up and bring the gun down. How should I do this.......? Please someone help or link me a tutorial that will be helpful.....
You have a couple of problems. First you don't need to use shift parent, just parent. Second, your red solid is a 3D layer and you have applied 2D tracking info to the solid. Actually, there's another mistake and it is in the tracking. You should also be tracking scale because the gun moves from left to right as well as up and down. This changes the distance between the front and back tracking points.
My workflow with this project would be:
Track Motion of the front and back of the gun including position, scale and rotation
Apply the track info to a null called GunTrack or something like that
Add a solid and apply the beam effect or mask the red solid to simulate the shape of a laser sight
Change the blend mode of the solid to ADD
Move the anchor point to the center of the starting point of the laser
Parent the solid to the Gun Track null
That should do it.
