Null object not centred, why?

Create a null object and it's not centred to its location. Why?
Seems like that would be the most obvious position to put the visual representation of a null object. So the least likely place for Adobe to put it?
Or is there some logical reason?

Rick, all other apps that have Null objects use them far more wisely than Adobe does. Mylenium has confirmed my suspicion, that these things weren't thought through, simply created (probably in a panic or out of laziness) as a half way house to what Null objects actually can be.
I get your point about the anchor point, but that's not what I'm talking about. In ALL other apps with a Null object, the visual representation of that Null object is centred. There's a tonne of reasons to do that, and I'm not contending the placement of the Null objects "anchor", it's in the right spot. It's the visual representation of the Null object that's utterly wrong.
That it's a deformable visual representation only compounds this problem.
Your usual presumptuous assumptions.
The null object was a remarkable improvement over how, in the olden days, we created invisibly small or transparent objects to do roughly the same thing.AE's were the first nulls I ever encountered. I learned how to use them when introduced and never really thought about how they might have been better. AE's nulls made perfectly good sense to me. And I don't use the other applications you are alluding to so I don't really need AE's null to be any different. I have, more than once, moved the null's anchor to its geometric center to help my project contributors grasp the concept. But they had no prior experience with nulls, either, so once they got it, I moved things back to their default because that works for me. Why are you still using After Effects?

  • Null object not following 3D camera tracking points.

    After applying the 3d camera tracker I right click between three targets and select "create null and camera", this creates a null object correctly aligned with the selected target and a camera, however, when I scrub through the timeline the null object is not tracking along with the selected target in the scene, it just stays in the one spot on the screen. It only just started to have this problem, it had been working fine before and all of a sudden its not working. Is there a way of fixing this? Did i accidentally deactivate the feature some how? Cheers Luke.

    I'm not sure I follow your description. When you say the null does not track with the target, that would be correct if the target is something that is moving in the scene because the 3D camera tracker solves for a moving camera solution by analyzing the change in parallax of fixed geometry in the scene. IOW, it's looking for things like buildings and roads and rocks that do not move. The camera is then added to the scene and 3D object you add to the scene should stick to the plane in the scene where it was placed. In other words, if you stuck a null to the sidewalk or to a wall, the null would stay stuck to the wall.
    If, on the other hand, you want to attach a null to something moving through the scene, like someone walking or a car driving, then Camera tracking is not the right tool. You need to use AE's motion tracker or Mocha to track the moving object inside the scene. That tracking data is what you must use to attach a null, or a layer, or text to something that is moving through the scene.

  • Null is not an object

    I'm trying to make a very simple epub and am getting a "null is not an object" error.
    I am finding nothing on why I am getting this error. I have no footnotes, no embedded objects, just text.
    Anyone have an idea why this is heppening and how I can fix it?

    I tried resetting all this in another document, wondering if the file was somehow corrupted and only got the same issue. As a matter of fact, half a dozen other, previously working documents did the same thing.
    So, I wondered if my prefs were toast and trashed them. Same issue.
    Then I tried to export the file as an IDML and opening that document. Lo and behold it exported without problem.
    So I saved the document, and for laughs, re-exported the file.
    Back to the same error.
    The only thing I can think of that may have changed was installing Digital Editions.
    I noticed I don't have "Export to Digital Editions" in my file or export menu. Is there a chance it isn't working or install properly?

  • Error 'this.node.parentNode is null or not an object' with search highlight in certain topics

    goto
    http://www.afas.nl/profithelp/2_8_2/SE/index.htm
    Click 'zoeken' (search)
    Be sure that 'Zoekresultaten markeren' (search highlight) is
    checked
    Type 'activa'
    Click the topic 'activa'
    An error is displayed in the bottom left corner:
    'this.node.parentNode is null or not an object'
    If search highlight is not used, the error is not displayed.
    Any ideas?

    I think I have it, but it's almost unbelieveable.
    In the activa topic, the word is highlighted up to a point.
    Coming to the next instance of activa, you have this code:
    <li class=p-BulletedList><p
    class=BulletedList><b><span style="font-weight:
    normal;">V:</b> v</span>aste activa waarop wordt
    afgeschreven (Dit is de standaard waarde) . . . </p>
    Note the superfluous <b> and </b> tags,
    especially with the <span> calling for normal font-weight.
    Suppose this is a valid string. Because the opening tags are
    <b><span . . .>,
    the closing sequence should be
    </span>...</b>
    I'm not sure exactly why the error does what it does.
    Perhaps this is a simple html error that happens to come in
    an awkward place, or
    Because the browser expects </span> first, it treats
    </b> as text, so the <b> never gets closed, which
    confuses the search highlight script.
    I've run into something like this before. Repeated
    application, changes and deletion of font attributes in
    approximately the same place sometimes results in confused tags.
    Similarly, when you apply a build tag to styled text, and perhaps
    change the font attribute, opening and closing tags get confused.
    It may depend on the precise locations where you started and ended
    your highlights during editing.
    You'd expect this to be a harmless html error, but in this
    case, it breaks the highlight code, I believe.
    You're in a better position to test this than I am, so I
    await your results.

  • 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.ScriptForWebTaggingUI' is null or not an object

    This is regarding SharePoint 2010 Search Refiners for people search.
    When I click on Show More option in Job Title or Building name Refiner, it doesn't expand and all I see is javascript error popping in IE status bar.
    'Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.ScriptForWebTaggingUI' is null or not an object
    On further investigation, I noticed that this happens when search results count is above 50. For anything below 50 results, the refiners work absolutely fine. Moreover, the issue is present with one site collection, rest seem to be working fine.
    I have tried to reproduce issue under broken site collection using new enterprise search centre (as sub site) but still no luck.

    Hi,
    I'd like to confirm with you that:
    1.Does the issue occur to default refiner or custom refiner?
    2.Are you using SharePoint enterprise search or FAST search?
    3.Since you mentioned "the issue is present with one site collection, rest seem to be working fine", is there more than one Search center site in your web application?
    4.Could you please reproduce the issue and check ULS log for more detail error message?

  • Access via NULL reference object not possible

    Hi friends,
      I have created an wda application which uses the table popin to display data.
      So that i have created a view with two of the  fields as link to action UI element.
      In the Events/Actions of the link to action element i implemented the following logic.
      data wd_table_cell_editor type ref to cl_Wd_view_element.
      data wd_table_column      type ref to cl_wd_table_column.
      data wd_popin             type ref to cl_wd_table_popin.
      data id type string.
    <b> wd_table_cell_editor ?= wd_this->m_view->get_element( id ).</b>
      wd_table_column ?= wd_table_cell_editor->get__parent( ).
      wd_popin = wd_table_column->get_popin( ).
      context_element->set_attribute( name = 'SELECTED_POPIN' value =
    wd_popin->id ).
    So when i click on the link to action in the table column of the field am getting the following error
    <b>Access via NULL reference object not possible.</b>
    While debugging i have noticed that this error was coming at the below step of the code.
    <b>wd_table_cell_editor ?= wd_this->m_view->get_element( id )</b>
    in the m_view->get_element( id ) does not contan any value , its showing as table , as null value cannnot be assigned may be its throwing the above error.
    But i didnt understand why the view is not getting UI element id ....
    Can one please suggest me where might be the wrong....
    Regards
    Sireesha.

    Hi nithya,
      Could you please calrify the doubts for the following q's.
    1. As u said in the above post, i have changed the code to the below.
         data: lr_table type ref to cl_wd_table,
    lr_table_col type ref to cl_wd_table_column.
    lr_table ?= wd_this->m_view->get_element( 'TABLE' ).
    lr_table_col = lr_table->get_column( ID = 'TABLE_CONNECTID' ).
      <b>wd_popin = lr_table_col->get_popin( ).</b>
    (At the above step which is in bold , eventhough there is value in lr_table_col->get_popin , its not assigning a value to the wd_popin, throwing same error NULL etc.,)
      context_element->set_attribute( name = 'SELECTED_POPIN' value =
    wd_popin->id ).
    2. Before changing the code suggested by u, the follwoing was the code from standard example.Its working fine in the application wdr_test_table.I have debugged the code.The value is getting assigned into wd_table_cell_editor.
    The same thing i have done but its failing to assign the value. thats y its throwing null reference error. Here i have a confusion how its assigning a value and y not in the z application.am giving the code below which is in standard and my application.Please clarify these.
    data wd_table_cell_editor type ref to cl_Wd_view_element.
      data wd_table_column      type ref to cl_wd_table_column.
      data wd_popin             type ref to cl_wd_table_popin.
      <b>wd_table_cell_editor ?= wd_this->m_view->get_element( id ).</b>
    ( Note :  wd_this->m_view->get_element contains value but not assigning it to the wd_table_cell_editor and same code in the standard behaving correctly like assigning the view value to the cell editor. Y this behavior, please advice me)
      wd_table_column ?= wd_table_cell_editor->get__parent( ).
      wd_popin = wd_table_column->get_popin( ).
      context_element->set_attribute( name = 'SELECTED_POPIN' value = wd_popin->id )

  • Why is my JavaServiceFacade persist() method is receiving NULL object

    My jDeveloper version is 11.1.1.3.0
    I have a jspx in which i want to save an employee into my DB on the click of submit button.
    I have made an entity object(Employee.java) made from a table EMPLOYEE. I then exposed this entity bean using a JavaServiceFacade. This JavaServiceFacade class has a method with signature persistEmployee(Employee employee).
    In my UI, i have made made a Submit button by dragging the persistEmployee() method from my DataControls pallette to my jspx, and the actionListener binding for this is ="#{bindings.persistEmployees.execute}".
    Now when i click on the submit button, the persistEmployee() method throws an exception which is below...
    ______ java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object: null is not a known entity type_______
    I found that the persistEmployee() method is not receiving an Employee object as an argument due to which this error is thrown.
    Can somebody pls guide me on what could be the issue.
    BELOW ISTHE CODE WHICH I HAVE USED.
    .......button code in my jsp.......
    <af:commandButton text="Submit"
    binding="#{backing_LdapUserCreation.cb5}"
    id="cb5"
    actionListener="#{bindings.persistEmployees.execute}"
    disabled="#{!bindings.persistEmployees.enabled}"/>
    .......method code which got generated in teh javaservicefacade..(here the employee argument received by the first line is NULL).....
    public Employees persistEmployees(Employees employees) {
    System.out.println("IS employees NULL ? = "+employees);
    return (Employees)_persistEntity(employees);
    .......binding code in my pagedefinition.........
    <methodAction id="persistEmployees" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
    Action="invokeMethod" MethodName="persistEmployees"
    IsViewObjectMethod="false" DataControl="EmployeeService"
    InstanceName="EmployeeService.dataProvider"
    ReturnName="EmployeeService.methodResults.persistEmployees_EmployeeService_dataProvider_persistEmployees_result">
    <NamedData NDName="employees" NDType="model.test.Employees" />
    </methodAction>

    Hi,
    when you dragged the persist method from the DataControls panel, a dialog opens that in its lower area shows the argument that the method expects. This argument needs to be pointed to <iterator name> | currentRow | data provider. To do this, click into the method argument value field and click the button on its right to bring up the EL editor. Then expand the iterator node under the Bindings node. Expand currentRow and select dataProvider.
    You can do this after creating the method binding as well. Select the PageDef file in the Application Navigator and open the Structure Window. Expand the persist method: it shoudl have a child element. Select the child item and in the Property Inspector set its NDValue property

  • What's the difference between a not-initialed object and a null object

    hi guys, i wanna know the difference between a not-initialed object and a null object.
    for eg.
    Car c1;
    Car c2 = null;after the 2 lines , 2 Car obj-referance have been created, but no Car obj.
    1.so c2 is not refering to any object, so where do we put the null?in the heap?
    2.as no c2 is not refering to any object, what's the difference between c2 and c1?
    3.and where we store the difference-information?in the heap?

    For local variables you can't have "Car c1;" the compiler will complain.That's not true. It will only complain if you try to use it without initializing it.
    You can have (never used, so compiler doesn't care):
    public void doSomething()
       Car c1;
       System.out.println("Hello");
    }or you can have (definitely initialized, so doesn't have to be initialized where declared):
    public void doSomething(boolean goldClubMember)
       Car c1;
       if (goldClubMember)
           c1 = new Car("Lexus");
       else
           c1 = new Car("Kia");
       System.out.println("You can rent a " + c1.getMake());

    Thanks Rama,
    Acutally i accidentally commented the lo_nd_student = wd_context ....etc
    this line was commented .
    i have one small requirement to fetch data from local customised table and fill the same to internal table and bind that to table node.
    my table node is student having attributes as name , city and number , all are of type strings.
    now i created one custom table zstudent having ID - char of length 10,
    name of type string
    city of type string
    num of type string
    i have inserted records
    but when i use select query to fill data from this zstudent to my internal table of type lt_student type wd_this->elements_student ,
    im getting same above error.
