Noticing little dots and frame jumps with 5700 ultra
i notice this when playing Final Fantasy XI...
usually, when i first have started the game up, when i'm running through the town, it seems like it'll intermitently get "stuck" on a frame for a half a second or so if you know what i mean. this usually clears up after i've been playing the game for a few minutes. also, it's more likely to do this when i'm running through the "town" than when i am running through the woods/forest.
also, now and then, little white speckles will appear in the landscape, doesn't seem to effect the game, just noticed the little speckles.
is this stuff due to something with the CPU, or the VGA card?
My Antec 480 came with two 4-pin molex connectors, only for fans, you cant put any HD or optical device, or any other device. I put 2 fans in one connector and one more on the other. I guess there is some amperage control on this connectors, and you cant connect more than 3 fans/connector. There are 7 more 4-pin molex connectors to put your devices running. I'm satisfied with my PSU, Antec says it has special circuitry for each rail, so they are independent and more stable. About noise? Nothing to blame, it is pure silent!
I edited later, check this very good thread about PSUs

Difficulties with movie clips and frames
This is really irking me.
I am extremely new to Flash so please bear with me. I am assuming that this is a simple, easy to fix problem that I am having. I have Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5.
What I am trying to do is display a sequence of images after other movie clips stop playing.
The image sequence itself does what it is supposed to and works properly, and the other movie clips also are successful. However, whenever I try to put the movie clips for the images in frames or keyframes, the beginning movie clips only play part of the way before the images show up. This happens even though the images' movie clips are on frames/keyframes (I've tried both) after the other movie clips.
The movie clips that are supposed to play first are each on a separate layer and there are two of them.
The first layer is called "tree" and the second is called "text"
The tree layer has a 45-frame gif animation that I have turned into a movie clip. I have created a motion tween and changed its alpha so that the gif has a fading in and out effect. I also have it so that it stops replaying once it reaches the last frame. I am using stop(); for this.
The text layer has a 40-frame gif animation that I have also turned into a gif. This gif is also a movie clip and also has motion tween. Its alpha has also been changed.
Both tree and text play together successfully and how I want them to.
The sequence of images is three separate images, each a different layer, that fade into eachother. These images are pngs, therefore they aren't gifs nor do they have their own frames.
The bottom layer is called floor1 and has frames 1 through 50 of motion tween and alpha adjustments fading the png image. The image is a movie clip.
The layer on top is called floor2 and has frames 51-100 of a different png image fading.
The very top layer is called floor3 and has frames 101-150 of yet another png fading.
The images are successful in doing what they are supposed to.
Layers tree and text are one fla file, and layers floor1, floor2, and floor3 are a separate fla file.
When I copy the frames from layers floor1, floor2, and floor3 into a keyframe after layers text and tree, they transfer properly, but when I test the animation, the image sequence shows up a lot sooner than it is supposed to, interrupting the movie clips on the layers text and tree. I have tried moving the floor# layers' keyframes farther down the timeline, but then the other movie clips just stop.
In the fla file with layers text and tree, I've imported the gifs into the library and then put them onto the stage.
In the fla file with the floor# layers, I've imported the pngs into the stage.
Here's what the text and tree layers look like:
Here's what the floor# layers look like:
The rest of the frames for the floor#s...
So, I thought that the problem was that I needed to delay the image squence. I looked around and found no code or anything for that..
Afterwards, I thought that it was because I had imported the tree and text gifs to the library before putting them on the stage.
I opened a new fla and imported the "tree" gif straight to the stage.
I figured that this should work because then it would show each of the individual frames in the movie clips, which it doesn't do in the above pictures. By importing the gif like this, it does show the individual frames. I've tested this with the image sequence and it works fine. But I have a problem with this method too..
I select all of the frames for the gif to convert into a symbol, so I can add a motion tween and mess with the alpha. However, only the last frame is converted into a movie clip. Well actually no... Only the circled frames below are turned into the movie clip. Even when all of the frames are selected. This isn't very helpful because then I can't change the alpha for the entire gif nor can I create a motion tween without getting a message saying that the motion tween could not be applied to all of the frames.
Here's what this version of "tree" looks like.
And the frames continue like so until 135.
The frames that are turned into the movie clip are circled below.
If I can solve the issue that I'm having with the tree shown in the two pictures above this sentence, then I can display the movie clips and image sequence without a problem. It wouldn't be quite how I had intended it to be, but it would be successful and would still work.
If I can fix the problem with the image sequence showing up to early, and of the tree and text movie clips being cut off, then this project would also be successful and it would be how I had wanted it to be.
If you need clarification, let me know and I'll explain something better.
I am not willing to provide a download link in this forum for my fla files, but I can email them to you if you would like a look. I just don't want someone to be able to find them and take them by doing a google search.
I have uploaded two swfs though.
The first is of the tree and text layers/movie clips working as they are supposed to. The second is of the image sequence (floor1, floor2, floor3) doing what it is supposed to.
Text and tree: http://glassoliverdesigns.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/6/5/10653451/tfg1.swf
Floor1, floor2, floor3: http://glassoliverdesigns.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/6/5/10653451/tfg2.swf
Notice how at the end of the text and tree swf, when the text stops the thing in the background keeps flashing. If that can keep flashing WHILE the images appear, then that would be great.
TL;DR: I want the floor# flash to show up after the text and tree flash but I keep having problems and nothing I try is working properly.Very concise question, appreciate the screenshots. One thing that motion tweens don't always show very well is keyframes. Let me clear a few things up and see if it helps.
Go back to what you wanted to do originally, which is copying the frames from one document to another. This is perfectly fine and to clear it up, it will also copy any library elements (images, clips, etc) that are required to copy those frames for you, so you do not need to import them yourself.
To successfully copy frames (not symbols), select the first frame of the frames you want to copy, hold shift and select the last frame (alternatively double clicking anywhere in the blue motion tween should select it all as well). Now right-click and "Copy Frames". Now go into your new document, select a frame, right-click and select Paste Frames. You will see the same frames copied over, the blue representing the tween and keyframes came with it and you finally will notice all your images/etc were copied into your library.
Now is a good time to manage the library clutter that was just copied in, if you're a clean freak like me.
This process is the same, as you tried, for the other documents you want to copy in. If any resources match in name then Flash will ask you if you want to "overwrite" that library item. If you do that, you will break one of your previous animations. Make sure that's not the case.
The common gotcha here is not knowing how to slide frames over properly. If overwriting isn't the issue, this is what I suspect your problem is and as you expand/contract the timeline the keyframes aren't going with you.
For example if I import 2 clips with fade in/out and move keyframes as you did I'll get something like this:
Now moving them over I would be very careful to select all of the frames I want to move via the methods above. Click the first frame, hold shift and select the last frame, or double-click anywhere in the middle of the blue. The selection of frames:
Now I simply drag my selected frames to the right, notice the keyframes stay as they should (the black dots):
The animation plays as expected.
Lastly I'm not sure if you've ever used the panel but you should really get used to the Motion Editor. This gives you control over easing as well as shows you an in-depth view of the keyframes that exist in a selected motion tween.
At first this panel may look complex but it simply represents the basic properties you can animate. Any more properties you animate can be added in here. I moved the X, Y and Alpha properties of my object. So you can see over the frames 30-60 what I did. You can also adjust basic easing here.
If your animations don't look correct you can select a motion tween, open the motion editor and verify the keyframes look correct. Scrub the timeline and look at the values you're interested in. Alpha for example, for you.
If you don't see any keyframes when you scrub the timeline, you moved your frames over incorrectly and the keyframes probably exist in a different place and therefore it appears incorrect. -
Regarding Pages charts, when I try to 'build' a 3D chart all I get is little dots but not graphics. No problems with 2D charts though. Guess my question is "Help?"
Sorry for the delay getting back to this.
Thanks to Fruhulda and Peter for their comments regarding the refusal of Pages to let me make 3D charts.
In answer to the questions put to me in this regard :
1. Pages version : Pages '09 v.4.1 (923)
2. Mac O/S : v.10.6.8
3. 3D chart : Can't find a 'name', but upright bars with rounded corners ???
4. Moved apps : Not that I'm aware of! All should be as installed off the disc.
5. A note : I have been able to create these in the past - related to a SW update?
and ... can create these charts perfectly in Keynote (go figure).
Thanks to all.

I need to know how to delete the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded it tonight and my computer doesn't have that little edit bar to work with so I can download the proper Adobe player and my internet has been screwed up ever since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I just want the old version of it back since I apparently can't download the Adobe stuff that is necessary to keep my computer safe from Hackers. It sure would have been nice to know there was an issue with the new Firefox Update BEFORE I uploaded it. I have Vista which is usually an issue with both Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run much of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox openedI have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

Printing of Graphics and Frames ,not coming properly in dot matrix printer
Hi Experts,
I have one smartform layout for Good receipt note,have used the Logo and Frames .when i am printing in the Laser printer.everything is k.when i am printing in Dot matrix Printer(OKI Microline 380 24pin printer).the Logo and Frames are missing,but I could able to see the Print Priview Properly.
Could you give any urgent solution.it is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
hppI agree with you that printing of Logo & Framesare not very supportive in Dot Matrix Printer.
You can ask the Basis consultant to check & change the printer setting & may be it may work, as you have already mentioned that it is OK in Laser Printer. The Dot Matrix printer is currently unable to read the Logo & frame for printing.
Regards,
Rajesh Banka

I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.
Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing. Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade. The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back. When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again. Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

Using double frame mode with a Hamamatsu C8484-05 and a PCI 1426
Hi,
I am using a hamamatsu C8484-05 CCD camera (http://sales.hamamatsu.com/en/products/system-division/machine-vision/part-c8484-05.php), with a PCI-1426.
Despite the NI site saying that they are compatible, Hamamatsu tell me that the camera is only compatible with the 1426 using the NI drivers , and not the Hamamatsu vi's. (http://sales.hamamatsu.com/index.php?id=13200492&language=1&)
I located the .icd file for the C8484-05 on the NI website, and using IMAQ, i can control most of the settings using the set camera attribute vi.
However, there does not seem to be an option to set double exposure mode for PIV (i.e. 2 frame 2 exposure using double buffering)
Do I have to do this manually using the low-level buffer controls? For a previous camera (IDT X3) I was able to select this option in their provided VI.
If so, could you point me in the direction of some good tutorials for the use of buffers?
Additionally, is there an easy way to get all of the options without copying the text from each menu in MAX and using multiple case structures?
Kind regards
Joe Sherwood
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi Zeyad,
The HiSense MkII is just a DANTEC relabelled C8484-05C, apparently it has some differences, but I have found none (except the price tag!). For me, the icd file in the previous post (and this one) work for both cameras.
The file I uploaded was a quick fix, but some of the options were not available when in PIV mode. The attached file is one i I improved at a later date, so you may have more luck with it (see note below) When you say you open it with IMAQ, what do you mean specifically? Vision Assistant, or IMAQ within labview? I personally check functionality using MAX, via the acquisition card (PCI 1426).
So to answer your questions,
1) If you just mean have I used it in LabVIEW, yes. It also works in Vision assistant and MAX
2) I have used it to acquire double frame images with no problems
I have used the camera at full exposure, and it was fine, but of course this is dependent on the illumination. If you are using laser pulses and your room is sufficiently dark the exposure should not matter.
I should mention that the one problem I have had is that IMAQ within labview seems incapable of changing the camera mode from double to single, so I have to change it in MAX (I had a guy from LabVIEW look at this, but he couldn't solve it).
Perhaps I could help more if you gave me a little more idea about your setup/application/ details of the errors etc.
Regards
Joe
I could not upload an icd file (interesting choice from NI), so I have saved it as a txt, you will just have to odify the extension to use it

I was online (on Facebook) when suddenly my coputer screen developed these little dots--uniform across it not just in a browser window--and they started flashing back and forth between blue and pink. The computer froze up and I had to reboot. It hasn't gone away and it's terribly annoying. What should I try to do?
It may be a problem with your video electronics - possibly heat related. Shutdown the PB & leave it overnight. Then startup & see if the dots appear.

I just bought a white iphone 4s, i noticed that the glass doesnt align with the speaker its a little off, anyone else having this problem?
It should work fine with Version 1.2 and Itunes 7.0 or later.
Check the battery charge--- Make sure it’s OK
No need to keep running the battery down..?
Do a manual Reset on IPOD--by selecting
Menu and Center simultaneously, for about 6 seconds.
You may have to do this several times.
re-try IPOD
Make sure your Windows software is up-to-date.
Make sure your running the correct software version for your IPOD.
If this doesn’t’ work---
Do the 5 R’s as instructed in the Apples manual.

When I saved a date on my calendar and it puts a little dot to remind that date. How do I change the color of that dot ?
What you're describing can't be achieved using the built-in comments summary function of Acrobat, but it can certainly be done if a custom-made script it used to generate the summary because then you're in full control of what's included in it and what's not.

CS4 Problem with Matt and Frames
Hi,
I am new to CS4. I have CS4 Extended. I also have Photoshop Elements 6, which has a choice of a drop shadow Matt and a frame gallery with many examples to choose from. See Matt and Frame examples from Elements 6 applied to photos here:

However, I cannot find any Mattes and Frames in CS4. Where are they located? Are they included CS4 at all?
Please advise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
DenOther than a very few, I would say the frames detract from the art within, because the frame has more texture and depth than the art.
Compositionally, areas of high contrast or fine texture or large shadows draw attention to themselves. This art is relatively flat and the frames seem more the subject than the art.
I realize this is likely because the frames are canned from PSE and you may not have much choice other than the colors.
Your initial post doesn't really ask a question, but I assume you are asking how to create similar frame effects within Photoshop as you can from Elements. Photoshop doesn't come with as many high-level things built-in from Adobe, but there are a wealth of plug-ins that extend Photoshop's capabilities, www.autofx.com is a place to look, or better yet, is to teach yourself how to accomplish things, by looking for tutorials or reading books. -

When I manually upload new music onto my iPhone 5 it causes existing music to no longer be playable and a circle with an exclamation mark to appear next to it. Or that it won't upload at all, the song is in grey with a dotted circle next to it. This is incredibly frustrating; especially as I have 1.9GB free on my phone.. why is that?
Try this procedure; it has worked for many people.
Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music. -
PDF prints with little boxes and question marks
I prepared a document in Microsoft Publisher 360 and created a pdf with creative cloud.
Looks great and prints great for me.
I emailed it to a few people and it looks great on their screens. However, when they print it,
it comes out with little boxes and question marks.
If I email them the publisher file it is fine.
How I can get them the PDF file without all the odd markings?You probably used a font that is not on their system and did not embed the font in the PDF when you created it. Don't feel bad. We all have done it. Just make sure to embed your fonts in the Joboptions settings before you recreate the PDF.
