Need HELP with menu integration
I have a project in which I am needing some seemless integration between movies and menus. Let me explain what I am doing. I am essentually imitating the actions of an iPhone or iPad in which you have the lock slide...icons appear...etc. What I did was create a flash file imitating these actions @ 720x480 then exported to a .MOV file. I then saved the last frame in Flash to a jpg, took into photoshop and created my buttons. See where this is going? So what I want is for the animation to play and end up with the menu (video to menu). My issue lies with the seemlessness of it. Currently when the transition happens from video to menu there is a black pause. I want it to be smooth from one to the other. I KNOW this can be done!! What am I doing wrong? I appreciate the help in advance.
Troy
I got my issue resolved (sort of). I used the suggestion of burning my project and playing on a DVD player to see if that
"black pause" went away and to my dissapointment it didn't. What I found worked though was shortening the duration of the first play
video under the properties -> motion tab.
Now another issue I am having is when I preview, everything looks great and to my intentions, but when burned and played on a DVD player the video is one size and the menu is a smaller size. They are both @ the same 720x480 size in Encore so why the difference when played doesn't make sense to me. Any ideas out there? I am not as savvy with this stuff as most on here, so hopefully what I am saying makes sense.
Thanx
Troy

Need help with vibration integration and changing units
I am far from an expert in vibration, none the less I found the following table and am now trying to reverse engineer my data that I took with an accelerometer to something I can compare with on the table.
Screen 54 of the following said to go from G's to inches/sec2, multiply by 386.1 so I wrote up a piece of code to do that along with the labview sound and vibe toolkit. We know our machine has excessive vibration but this seems to be a little redicioulous. Am I doing this correctly, please see the attached code.
Essentially how do I go from Acceleration taken with a 10.82mV/g accelerometer to inches/second and mil peak to peak. I have tried using the integration functions but I am seeing numbers that just seem too big to be real.
Is there any example code on how to do this somewhere?
Thanks,
Adam
Thanks for the reply,
I have seen those examples but I am not sure they are helping me out too much, at issue is it seems like a lot of vibration data in the USA is based off of ips (inches per second) or displacement in mils peak to peak for example see the following image. I have done quite a bit of searching but am not necessiarly finding a good article that would describe how to code up something in LabVIEW to post process my recorded data taken in acceleration units of g's and convert it over to inches peak to peak as well as ips. I see that sound and vibe toolkit has the integration function but I am not sure I am properly using it. Do you know if there are any examples of how best to get displays in such units or writeups as to how to go about converting this to something along the lines of what suppliers and other vendors are displaying vibration data to us in? I haven't had as much time recently to work on this as desired but I also have to think I am not the first one to stumble on the need to do this considering how much vibration analysis in the USA uses such units.
Thanks,

Need help with J-Integra/JCOM 6.1/JCOM 7.0 differences
I have an application which uses J-Integra 1.5.2, and would like it to also work
with JCOM in 7.0 (preferably without changing my code, but some changes are OK).
Previously with 6.1 I had this working, but several changes have been made since
then. There are two issues I can see that I could use some clarification on:
1) When I run my program I receive the following J-Integra licensing exception.
I can insert a J-Integra license obviously but shouldn't this be included with
JCOM in WebLogic?
J-Integra 1.5.0 SB004 Copyright (C) 1999-2001 Intrinsyc Software Inc. http://www.intrinsyc.com/j-integra/
java.lang.RuntimeException: No valid licensing information found.
In order to use the J-Integra runtime a proper license file must be installed.
If you have acquired a license, or if you are evaluating J-Integra or any J-Integra
Integra products, then you should have received such a license file, together
with installation instructions by email when you downloaded the kit.
If you are having trouble installing the license, please goto http://www.intrinsyc.com
or refer to your documentation in the section about Licensing.
2) There is no ocxhost.exe process included in the delivery, but there is an ocxhost
directory which apparently has resources in it. I need ocxhost.exe to expose cdo.dll
over DCOM. Is there another way to do this now or is it missing from the delivery?
Any help on either the licensing or ocxhost things I'm seeing would be appreciated.
If someone has a summary of what's different between J-Integra, JCOM 6.1 and JCOM
7.0 that would be fantastic!
thanks,
SkipDid you try Weblogic 7 sp1? It may help.

Need help with menu ring or listbox control.
Hi,
I would like a menu ring style of control that does the following. Initially, items will be put into the control through a string array. That is no problem. But,in addition to being able to select any of the existing items, I would like the user to be able to enter a new item. Is this possible with any of the menu or listbox controls? I prefer the menu type controls as I like how when you click on the control you get a pop up of the items in the list, as opposed to the listbox where you have to scroll. Thanks for any help.Not as such, but one alternative would be a combination of the menu ring and
a string. Place the string above the menu ring. When people select something
from the menu ring it's copied to the string and selected. When people type
something into the string, it's added to the menu ring if it's not already
there and again it's selected.
Bear in mind though that if a menu ring gets too large I suspect a scrollbar
will appear in it when it's popped up.

New to Dreamweaver and need help with menu alignment in IE
Hi l,
I am new to Dreamweaver, in fact this is my first ever website / question...
I have just produced this site for a friend
http://www.grantgibsondesign.com/A_Morrow1/
I am happy with how everything looks in Firfox etc. however, with Internet Explorer my menu table alignment goes out the window!
Can anybody suggest a quick fix?
I produced it in dreamweaver CS3.
Thanks in advance
Gibo
[Subject edited for clarity by moderator]I'm in the same boat that why I asked. I ran it through browsershots too and everything looked fine:
http://browsershots.org/http://www.grantgibsondesign.com/A_Morrow1/
Even went back to IE 6. Which is why I asked for a screenshot. If you can go back to the person who told you about the design flaw ask them for a screenshot. Otherwise I can't really do much more than shoot in the dark. -
I have set up a menu in BC, a screen grab is below.
Why do the end two menu items kitchens and bedrooms appear lower than the rest of the items in the same menu, there seems to be enough room?Hi,
Thank you that would be great! The link is www.greystoneinteriors.co.uk
I also noticed that style issue in the drop down after the the new menu items were added in, but each one seems to appear differently which seems odd too? I've attached screen grabs of the menu style for reference?
Thanks

I need help with adobe muse sub-menu styling
i need help with adobe muse sub-menu styling~! i can adjust them to exactly how i like them, but then when i go to the next set of sub-menus, the other ones revert back to the starting white/black boxes. i am frustrated as i have redone this so many times! Please help me!
To achieve this, you can use an accordion widget with custum styling.
IF you search for Terry White, Muse, accordion, you will find some video tutorials on YouTube. -
I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.
Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

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.
And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

I need Help with a website I've created
I need help with a website I've created (www.jonathanhazelwood.com/lighthouse) I created the folowing site with dreamweaver at my current resolution 1366 by 768.

How can I keep all content centered and working like it does on 1366 by 768 on all resolutions. The htm to my site is below I started off with a blank template through dreamweaver CS5.

</html>Look at all the apdiv's you have. Those are absolutely positioned layers. I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS. I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

the text fields to save to a .txt file. Also, I need validation to ensure that the values entered into the text fields coincide with the field type. I am new to VB so please be gentle. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx
•I need to use the OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog in my application.
•Also, I need to use a structure.
1. The application needs to prompt the user to enter the file name on Form_Load.
2. Also, the app needs to use the AppendText method to write the Employee Data to the text file. My project should allow me to write multiple Employee Data to the same text file. The data should be written to the text file in the following format (comma
delimited)
FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, EmployeeNumber, Department, Telephone, Extension, Email
3. The Department dropdown menu DropDownStyle property should be set so that the user cannot enter inputs that are not in the menu.
Public Class Form1

Dim oFile As System.IO.File
Dim oWrite As System.IO.StreamWriter
Dim openFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog()

Need help with calculator project for an assignment...
Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??
Here is the programs code that I've written so far:

What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name. -
Need help with almost completed plugin engine project
Hi all,
For a while now I have been working on a plugin engine. After a few iterations, the engine is similar to the Eclipse engine, in that plugins use extension points and extensions to allow contributions. Unlike the eclipse engine I have added the ability for plugins to fire events through the engine and other plugins can add listeners, all through the plugin.xml manifest. Dependencies are mostly handled automatically at plugin load time (when extensions get resolved to extension points, and listeners get resolved to events). For the case where a plugin needs to use classes from another plugin, dependencies are also allowed to be declared. Like the eclipse engine, activation of plugins occurs the first time a class is used within the plugin's classpath, OR a plugin can be activated after it is loaded.
What I need help with is testing, working on examples to provide with the engine project, and feedback/suggestions before we release the M1 build. I am asking for those that are interested in this type of work to volunteer to help where applicable and possible. I want to provide a solid plugin engine to the java community, one that is easy to use, works well, and is pretty effecient in terms of resource usage and performance.
Of particular interest to me right at the moment is dealing with multiple versions. As I see it, the engine will be used within an application and as such plugins would be distributed with a specific application version. The plugin version itself is more of a notification as to what version a plugin is, although I imagine it will help when updating at runtime as well.
Just a few other details of the engine. It handles (or will soon) dynamic load, unload and reload of plugins at runtime. Plugins can be distributed in an archive file format, we call .par (Plugin ARchive), with additional plugin filename extensions configurable at runtime. The plugins can be developed and deployed in an expanded directory format as they are in Eclipse as well, or in the archive format. In the archive format they do not need to be unzipped when deployed, and they can contain embeded jar/zip libraries. The engine handles finding and creating classes directly out of the .par file at runtime.
Multiple locations to find plugins are configurable before the engine starts, and even after it starts more could be added to allow additional locations to find plugins. URLs are supported, and soon the HTTP protocol will be supported so that plugins can be downloaded and installed at runtime.
The project can be found at www.sourceforge.net/projects/genpluginengine. If you would like to get involved and help out, please sign up on the dev mail list and send an email to introduce yourself to the rest of the members on the list.
I'll also add that I am working on a Swing UI Framework built entirely from plugins. It provides a ready-to-launce UI application that developers can simply add their plugins to, extending various extension points of the framework to have menu items, toolbar buttons, status bar access, help and preferences dialog additions, file i/o choosers, tons of open-source components ready to use (or extend to add on to), and like Eclipse, hopefully... draggable window frames that can be dropped on any other frame to form a tabbed frame of windows. Some of this is a ways off, some is getting there now. Presently you can add menu items that do allow plugin activation when first clicked, so plugins can be loaded but not activated until needed. The Preference dialog works but is not completed, and a plugin that adds a plugin control panel to view all loaded plugins, activate them, load/unload/reload, view extension points, extensions, dependencies, etc is partially completed. The point is, to allow a ready to run UI framework in Swing with an easy path for developers to quickly build applications with. If you are interested in this, when you join the mail list and introduce yourself, indicate that you are interested in this as well, as we need help with plugin development for it and would appreciate more help here too.
Look forward to some replies.Might I suggest setting up a project at a known project-site? I've seen your progress and questions posted here from time to time, but one of the drawbacks is that you have to fill each post with the entirity of your vision to explain what you're doing. That's a lot of text to read - and most folks will skip right over it.
On the other hand, a well-crafted, good-looking project web-site, with appropriate links and docs and vision statements, diagrams, etc. will have more likelyhood of attracting volunteers. java.net and sourceforge.net are likely spots to set up shop. In addition, you get CVS and bug-tracking systems, which can be quite valuable in such a large-scale project where there are lots of pieces. -
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;
}Two more classes required by this codepublic class ObjectTransferHandler extends TransferHandler {
private static DataFlavor df;

public ObjectTransferHandler() {

try {

public boolean importData(JComponent comp, Transferable t) {

try {

} catch (Exception e) {

return true;
public class ObjectTransferable implements Transferable {
private static DataFlavor df = null;

* @see java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable#getTransferData(DataFlavor)
public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor arg0)
throws UnsupportedFlavorException, IOException {
return ObjectFactory.instantiate(objectClass);
}And of course the test class:public class DragAndDropTest extends JFrame
JPanel leftPanel = new JPanel();
JPanel rightPanel = new JPanel();
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
Dragable dragableJLabel;
Dragable dragableJButton;
Dragable dragableJTextField;
Dragable dragableJTextArea;
* Constructor DragAndDropTest.
* @param title
public DragAndDropTest(String title)
super(title);
dragableJLabel = new Dragable(JLabel.class);
dragableJButton = new Dragable(JButton.class);
dragableJTextField = new Dragable(JTextField.class);
dragableJTextArea = new Dragable(JTextArea.class);
leftPanel.setBorder(new EtchedBorder());
BoxLayout boxLay = new BoxLayout(leftPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
leftPanel.setLayout(boxLay);
leftPanel.add(dragableJLabel);
leftPanel.add(dragableJButton);
leftPanel.add(dragableJTextField);
leftPanel.add(dragableJTextArea);
rightPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,500));
rightPanel.setBorder(new EtchedBorder());
rightPanel.setTransferHandler(new ObjectTransferHandler());
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
contentPane.add(leftPanel, "West");
contentPane.add(rightPanel, "Center");
public static void main(String[] args)
JFrame frame = new DragAndDropTest("Drag and Drop Test");
frame.pack();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
}I wrote this code some time ago, so it won't be perfect but hopefully will give you some good ideas.

Tim -
I am brand new to doing a post, so please bear with me. I have Photoshop elements 8. the program is not allowing me to open the editor. Any ideas? I click on it and it acts like it is thinking and then nothing....
oh my!! i think this may be WAY over my head!! i have a computer savvy friend that I will get to look at your suggestion. fyi, I had called the help line and for $30 they can talk to me. he suggested that i buy Photoshop 9 and get free "phone talk".
thanks

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.
