New tweens and resizing the stage: Help!

Hi all. I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.
I built an animation project at 630 pixels wide. Turns out the project needs to be 430 pixels wide. In CS3, using the classic tweens, I would simply resize the stage, Onion All, then resize everything on the stage at once. But with the new tween structure, it looks like I can't do a mass resize like that. Anything that's been tweened using the motion editor does not resize.
I know I can just create a new movie clip, paste all frames into it and then resize the MC, but I have some JPEGs of signatures that pixellate when they are resized that way.
So, can you onion skin the new tweens? Is there a workaround?
Thanks!

I'm afraid there isn't a good answer for this one - it's one of the present limitations that we're aware of. The problem is twofold: One instance per tween instead of two/more (Edit multiple frames is entirely based on multiple instances - a tween only has one), and auto-keyframing (usually making things easier, but for this, complicating things - if you change the scale at a location it automatically tweens the change, which you don't want in this use case).
For any motion paths, you need to select each and then scale them (you can use the Transform panel to enter a percentage. Mutliple selected motion paths will scale the instances instead (unfortunately for this case). You can try selecting multiple and using the Transform panel, but this doesn't work well yet.
If you haven't tweened the scale of your instances and they start at the same position, you're in a bit more luck. Put the playhead at the first frame of the span(s) and then scale the instances. If you have tweened the scale, then you'd need to move the scale tween up/down in the motion editor (press the Alt key while dragging the path in the graph).
In the even less likely chance the instances share the same tween, I'd do this for one instance, save it as a preset and then apply it to the rest.
I know this is a pain - I'm sorry it's not better for changing the size of the Stage. We didn't get the time to make Edit Mutliple Frames better for new motion in this release.

Extend the EPM install to a new EOI and remove the old EOI's (server decommissioning). EPM version 11.1.2.1 and having essbase and planning; I understand removing EOI's is not as simple as 11.1.2.3 but any suggestion/steps would be of great help.

Next time try to create a topic that is not the question.
There was no option to remove epm instances in 11.1.2.1, basically the cloest you get is uninstalling the products on the server and hope that some of the info is removed from the epm registry

Resizing the stage

Hello all.
I animated this little talking head, but now come the end of
it, I'd prefer to have more background space behind him, ie; a
larger stage. But when I increase the stage size, it increases it
all in the bottom-right corner, making my talking head far from
center. I wouldn't mind this if I could center him, but since there
are tweens and lip-syncing and all sort of stuff, I can't move
everything in one foul swoop. I'll select all my layers and
whatnot, move them, but then as soon as I get to any new keyframe
in the timeline, any associated symbol will go back to their
original position. Needless to say, re-positioning every single
keyframe would be just as tedious as creating them in the first
place.
I doubt that's the only option, seeing as how Adobe MUST've
forseen this. So. Is there a way to really truly select everything
in timeline and move it all at once? Or is there a way to tell the
stage
where to increase its size, similar to adjusting the "canvas
size" in Photoshop?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

there are two solutions to your problem here.
1) you can place all of the animation within a new MovieClip
symbol. select all layers and frames by right-click and 'select all
frames' - then right-click and 'copy frames'. now create a new
symbol and right-click the first frame and 'paste frames' - now
return to the main timeline and delete all the layers, create a new
layer and drag the new movieclip symbol from the Library - you will
now be able to position the MC wherever you would like.
2) you can use the 'edit multiple frames' function to move
everything at once. with the playhead in frame one, turn on onion
skinning (the button on the left on the bar just below the timeline
that looks like one 'full' box) with onion skinning turned on, drag
the 'viewing marker' on the right ('attached to' the playhead
marker) to the last frame of the timeline - then turn on the 'edit
multiple frames' button (the button on the right on the bar just
below the timeline that looks like two 'full' boxes) now click-drag
from the first layer-last frame - to the last layer-first frame to
select all of the timeline with the playhead ending up in the first
frame. now you will be able to position everything that is selected
all at once. however you will need to repeat this procedure for any
move and you will also 'see' everything at the same time, which can
make positioning difficult - but also handy.

How to resize the stage from the top instead of the bottom?

Hi I am trying to resize the stage in Flash CS4 from the top instead of the bottom, as I left too much space at the top of the stage and don't need the stage to be so big. By default Flash resizes from the bottom.
So is there a way of resizing from the top?
Failing this, is there a way of moving all the symbols/objects in my project so that I don't create a motion tween but just move the objects for all of the frames in the project (i have quite a few tweens in the project)?
Thanks
Nick

the built in Stage class has two handy properties...
Stage.width and Stage.height

Resizing the stage around its center

I have done some animation work on a stage 320px X 320px. I
find that I must present the same work on a stage 240px X 320 px.
If I use the Property Inspector window, I can enter the new stage
size. Unfortunately, the window is resized with the left hand side
of the screen as its reference point, effectively cutting off a
large part of the right side of my work. I would expect to loose a
piece of my animation at the right and the left evenly. How can I
resize the stage around its center?
Thanks

well, I'm afraid that just the thing, you really can't.
However, you can reposition everything on the Stage at the same
time. First, with all layers unlocked, right click the timeline
(anywhere but the first frame) and use 'select all frames', then
use the 'edit multiple frames' button which the little 'box' like
symbol next to the fps indicator on the bar just below the
timeline, select 'onion all', now you can drag or nudge the entire
animation at one time.

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

Have iTunes version 10 .3 but do not understand cloud in iTunes 11.03 can someone explain it and also how do you find duplicates in new version and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which I have had for 4 years

I have iTunes version 10.03 which I love but my iPad Apple mini has iOS 7 but I don't understand the new iTunes what is the cloud shown next to the music and how can I find duplicates can anyone help me navigate the new iTunes and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which is 4 years old

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
The cloud icons give you access to stream or download any qualifying past purchases that you don't currently have downloaded to the library.
Regarding duplicates, things haven't really changed. Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Yes, iTunes 11 will support your iPod classic.

How do I turn on my wireless keyboard and make it 'discoverable'? I got a message that the batteries were low, so I changed them for new ones and now the keyboard doesn't work.

I got a message saying that the batteries were low, so changed them for new ones and now the keyboard cannot be 'found'. There seems to be no way to turn it on and make it 'discoverable' to the system. At the moment I'm typing this on a spare keyboard plugged into the back of my mac via a USB. Please help!

Have you checked to make sure the batteries are inserted the correct way? Have you tried to turn it on by pushing the right upper (round) edge of the keyboard - if you do that, do you see a tiny little green light? Since you have a wired keyboard, can you get to the Bluetooth setup/preference pane so you can manually try to sync the keyboard?
PS - posting duplicate posts is not helpful - it makes things too confusing, so I've asked the hosts to remove your other (identical) post.

How to remove a plot and resize the plot legend in LV 8.6 as in this link to a LV 7.0 example

This VI ( ftp://ftp.ni.com/pub/devzone/epd/201150.vi ) works exactly as I want an 8.6 application to - but the property node used in the example is no longer supported.
I can add/remove plots and resize the plot legend with 8.6 using the "LegNumRows" property however this property does not appear to behave the same way.
It seems this should be straight forward but I must be missing something.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi again!
I have implemented a method to shuffle the plots in the legend and was satisfied with one exception- the plot colors. This application allows the user to add or delete plots from the graph, adding a plot is easy as the new plot name gets appended to the next place on the legend and the number of rows grows by one. Deleting a plot is also quite easy but this action brought up a usability issue in that the existing plots that were shuffled on the legend would also shift their colorsaccordingly. To eliminate possible confusion I want to keep the correlation between existing plots and their assigned colors so I tried to use the plot color property to change the plot color programmatically with unexpected results.
Programmatically changing a color from the "Plot Colors" array does not change the color of that plot if it is set to any of the "Common Plots" wih the exception of "Common Plot 0" - i.e. this doesn't seem to work for Bar Plots which is what I am using.
I have attached a demo VI to illustrate this behavior - there are detailed free labels on the front panel which describe this in more detail.
Regards and thank's in advance!
