Pease Help!!! Setting A Start Frame?

Hi There,
Is there a way to tell the movie clip loader to load a .swf
file but begin playing on a different frame than frame one.
Basically I have multiple buttons that I want to load the same .swf
file but I want each button to begin playing the file on a
different frame. I've attached the basic MCL code I'm using to load
the movie. I can add more code if needed. Thanks in advance!

Hi. There are so many things I want to tell you about what
you are doing here. (Not that you asked, but free advice is, well,
free!)
First. The on(release) handler way of doing things is so
2001. Since then there has been much better way of handling things
and it is so odd to see the "modern" MovieClipLoader class put
together with something so old. So instead use timeline code and
myInstance.onRelease=function(){}.
David Stiller who is often on these boards has a good article
about it here.
http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/museum-pieces-on-and-onclipevent
Next. I personally don't like loading into levels in Flash. I
don't think they fit in well with the basic metaphor of Flash and
since they aren't a class of their own they don't have many ways to
control and manipulate them. So personally I would recommend
loading into a movieclip instead of into _level6. But that is just
my personal preference and has nothing to do with what you are
asking. (I do think that _levels are gone in AS3, right?)
Okay, finally to your actual question. You do have an
instance of the MovieClipLoader class defined on your main timeline
(don't even get me started on _root or _level!) right? Do you have
the onLoadInit event handled? If so then all you have to do is put
something in there that tells each loaded movie where to go. How do
you know which button needs to tell which movie needs to go where?
That I'm not sure. How do you know?

Using chapter markers as button start frames

I have a track with chapter markers, and I'm using a template menu with buttons to which I'm assigning the various chapter markers. I'd like to have the button thumbnail display the video from the start frame the corresponds to the particular chapter marker that I've assigned to that button. I can do this manually in the button inspector; you choose the video track as the "asset" and then use the slider to manually set the start frame. However, this is a tedious way to do this, I'm sure there must be a way to automatically set the thumbnail to display the video from the corresponding chapter marker?

option-drag the track from the graphical view onto the "chapter selection" button on your main menu - Choose "create chapter index" from the drop palette. and pick your template. This will automatically create as many chapter selection menus as are needed, with chapter markers displayed in the thumbnails, and all the navigation hooked up correctly. At least as correctly as the template specifies.
Hope this helps -

AE CC not overriding start frame preference with Timecode..

Hi all,
Just trying out After Effects CC and loaded an Animation Quicktime. I've set my project preference to FRAMES and START AT FRAME 1, but it refuses to acknowledge and insists on starting on frame 184716, which I presume it's taking from whatever timecode was possibly embedded in the quicktime.
I do not want this behaviour.. I need frame ONE to be FRAME ONE, I'm importing tracking data that has these frame numbers encoded.
I'll have to revert back to CS6 until this can be resolved.
Thanks,
Steven Blasini

Thank you kindly, Rick.
That worked. But in all my many years of working with AE (on PC's since 1996), I've never set the start frame from the composition... always had it set in PROJECT PREFERENCES. Even in AE CS6 this still works the way it used to... with Project Preferences set to FRAMES and start frame 1, anything I loaded up was always starting on Frame 1.
Now with CC, they've added this new requirement... but, at least you got me on the right path.
Thanks for such a quick response! Highly appreciated! (I went back to CS6 for this particular shot and it's done, but now I'll resume the brave new world of CC and see what else they've changed on us.)
Was already disappointed to find out that I could not import all my OUTPUT MODULES from CS6 into CC... and that most of the modules have been moved over to Media Encoder... change change change change.... hopefully for the better...
PS: We're running Windows 8 and the latest CC as downloaded via Cloud subscription.

Modify default composition start frame?

Is it possible to modify the default start frame number of 0 that is used
when dropping a footage item on the "Create Composition" icon?
I know I can create a new composition instead of dragging to the icon,
and the Composition Settings menu does remember the last start frame
number I entered, and I know that once a default sequence is created I
can use the Composition Settings menu to set the start frame, but I would
like to be able to set the default start frame number to 1 instead of 0.

> I'm not finding that to be the case with any flavor of source footage.
Right, sorry. You won't unless you have After Effects CS5.5. I didn't explain that, and my brain has been working with CS5.5 for so long now that it didn't occur to me that you weren't. Source timecode support is a new feature in CS5.5.
> It's probably not worth a feature request.
I disagree. Totally worth a feature request. That's not to say it will happen, but that we always want your feedback no matter how small the request. I can assure you that every submission is read and considered.

Help: Setting the multipart/related start parameter

I am wanting to set the "start" parameter on my ContentType header for
a multipart related message. Something like below.
DATA
ContentType: multipart/related; boundary=_XXX; start="<somecid@domain>"
I can set the content type to "multipart/related" by calling
MimeMultipart.setSubType(), but I cannot figure out how to set the
"start" parameter.
Anyone know.
Thanks,
Chris

Does the SMTP server accept the mail for delivery of does it reject it?
If it doesn't reject it, is the issue with the format of the mime message, or possibly with whatever mail reader you are using.
It the SMTP server does reject the message I suppose the next question is what exactly is the "SMTP" server you are using?
IMHO you should not need to add anything to the mime multipart headers if using any RFC compliant SMTP server or reader. No-where in RFCs 2045,2046,2049,2822 etc can I find anything that relates to this "start" parameter.
If the SMTP server is a "proper" SMTP server it should not give two hoots about the mime multipart/mime body parts of the message as it "should" only be interested in the headers required to deliver the email. The mime multi/body part headers are generally not used to deliver. They are used by a Mime compliant mail reader to format and display the message.
We use Javamail to send regular "Newsletters" via a numbers of SMTP mail serviers running on IBM AS/400s, Sendmail on Unix, Lotus Notes servers and and others and have no problems.
If you want to send me your code to run on our systems to see if it really is your SMTP server or your message format that is giving trouble I can probably help. I can't open up a server for you as we have rather strict policies on who can do what with our servers. You can of course use our normal SMTP server to send a test email to me!!

Help in creating a flv video start frame

Hi - I have a video player with autoplay=false. I'd like to
enhance it by inserting a start frame or screenshot to replace the
current black screen that comes up before the play button is
clicked. I thought it would be easy, but haven't made any progress.
Thanks.

In my new Flash Video from Adobe Press, I include examples of
creating a poster frame for the FLVPlayback component, where a
separate JPEG is downloaded and layered on top of the FLVPlayback
component. Here's a link to the demo file:
http://www.flashsupport.com/books/fvst/files/ch06/flvplayback_fp9_actionscript_preview.htm l
In the last chapter, I also show how to create a more
elaborate poster frame, which is actually another SWF file that
communicates with the FLVPlayback component:

How to set movie poster frame in final cut pro x

Need some help on the following.
Objective-using QT 7 or later, Current Compressor, FCP X or any other video editing tool, export a mp4 movie that displays a "poster frame" when the movie is inserted into iBook Author. When started by the user, the movie would begin to play from the first frame of the movie (not the poster frame).
thx ra

This sounds like a question for the iBooks Author forum. I think you set the poster frame in that application. How you make the video behave in the iBook is controlled in that application not in the editing application.

Force start frame number in image sequence render

I have a 900 frame comp rendered to a numbered image sequence.
After applying a revision to frames 250-300, I would like to render
only those frames, overwriting the originals.
I have tried:
Under >Render Settings, "Work Area Only", with "Skip existing files" off.
This renders the correct frames as designated by the Work Area Bar,
but the frame numbering begins at 1 instead of 250.
Under >Render Settings, "Custom", with "Skip existing files" off.
In the Custom fields, I specify frames 250-300.
This renders the correct frames as designated by the Custom setting,
but the frame numbering still begins at 1 instead of 250.
Using both of the above settings, I have also tried to "force" a start frame
in the Output Module by manually entering "filename_[00250]".
The result is a new 51 frame sequence starting with "filename_[00250]_00001".
How can I get a partial render to overwrite the correctly
numbered original frames in an image sequence?

I have figured out what I was doing wrong.
I turns out that you can indeed force a start frame
number in the Output Module, but I was using it incorrectly.
Instead of having "Use Comp Frame Number" checked,
I had specified a starting frame number (1 - the first frame of comp).
The result is that regardless of what specified segment I rendered,
the output frames always were numbered starting with frame 1.
After checking "Use Comp Frame Number", problem solved.
Thanks for the input in helping me track down my error.

Does anyone know how to set the starting time for an audio book?

I am trying to restart a burn in iTunes that failed for an audiobook. I need to set the start time so it will not have to reburn the disks that were already completed. I cannot find out how to do that in version 11 if the book consists of more than one file. Anyone have an idea how to do this? Apple wants me to pay $20 for something that should be in the help menu.

UCCX 5.0(2)SR02 is the version
I attached a screenshot of what I am trying to use but I am not sure what to put as the value? I tried using "now" and "null" but no success.

How do i set the time frame of a waveform chart programmatically to be a 30 sec window or a 24 hour window

i'm using LV7.0 and what i need to do is to be able to set the time frame or range of a waveform chart programmatically before i start taking and plotting data. sometimes this window needs to be 30s wide and sometimes it needs to be 24 hrs wide. (in the first reference, i need the chart to fill up with 30s of historical data then the whole chart scrolls with each new data point). the data acquisition records data at a rate of once per second. i've tried to use the chart properties of XScale.offset, XScale.Range.Minimum and XScale.Range.Maximum but no matter what i do the time-stamp on the x-axis is always "00:00:00 PM" and "MM/DD/YYYY" even though values are seen being plotted on the right side of the chart as expected.

Okay, there seems to be some confusion here -- the X axis values are of type double, but they can be represented in the HH:MMS MMD:YYYY format if you want in which case it interprets the floating point as the number of seconds since 6pm Dec 31, 1903.
You can programmatically set this value using the XScale.Minimum and XScale.Maximum properties, but note that if you wire a waveform to the chart after setting these values the t0 parameter will override what you set using the property node for XScale.Minimum. If instead you leave the t0 parameter empty you can use the XScale.Offset property and wire the same value in that you wire to XScale.Minimum. Changing the amount you add to XScale.Minmum to obtain what you wire into XScale.Maximum will determine the time window size.

Hold a start frame or copy transformation from one object to another

Hi There,
I have some stop-motion clips that are in the timeline and are reversed. When I play the timeline, these items move out of frame.
However, only the movement is animated and I need them to be on screen before they move off. Can you hold a start frame so that the stay on screen until they animate?
If not, I have a still of the frame I would like to hold but can't figure out how to copy the transformations from the animated clip to the still so they match perfectly. How do you do this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Ended up copying and pasting the transformations by hand which was very painful as there seems to be a big with copying and pasting transformations between objects.
You have to click in the box, hit the arrow key, select all, copy, click in the box for the next object, hit the arrow key, select all, paste.
If you just click the box for the fist object, copy, click in the next box for the next object and paste, nothing happens!

Cannot boot into mountain lion after I have set the start volume to CD drive

Previously I need to boot from CD so I have set the start volume to CD drive by pressing command+option+P+R at the same time and change the start up volume to CD drive.
But right now, it can just start from CD but cannot boot into Mac OS (Mountain Lion) which is installed in the hard disk.
I have tried to press command+option+P+R at teh same time during bootup but seems like right now it doesn't recognize this command. I have tried pressing "X" or "option" or spacebar, etc during bootup but still it tries to boot from CD.
Anyway I can change the start volume back to my internal hard disk?
I have even disassembled my iMac and the CD drive to remove the previous CD as well. Then it still tries to boot from CD drive but now saying the device is not bootable and ask me to insert a bootup disk. I then tried to put the Mountain lion installation DVD (I previously created the installation DVD by following the DIY way from this link http://www.cultofmac.com/180925/how-to-make-a-bootable-disk-or-usb-drive-of-os-x -mountain-lion/) there in the drive but it still said the device is not bootable.
I have disassembled my iMac again to remove the mountain lion disk right now. So the CD drive is now empty. Anyway I can change the start volume back to my internal hard disk?
This is really frustrating .. Hope someone can help.
thanks!

Apple helped set up userhomefolders on second volume of mini, i forgot how to create another user on command line

Alright, I am setting up a mac mini with snow leopard server and the telephone help got me started but did not use the system preferences. The intention is to set up accounts for up to 80 students. I thought the person guided me through some documentation but now I cannot locate the docs to read them. Can any one help this poor lost bit?

All,
I thought it may be related to spaces in the path in which the script was called from. I tried having the ODBC command script in another directory but the same thing happens. It will give me the "CONFIGSYSDSN: Unable to create a data source for the 'Oracle in OraClient10g_home1' driver: Could not load the setup or translator library with error code -2147467259". As soon as the script is done running I can manually double click the script and it adds the DSN fine.
Thanks,
Clif Bridegum
