Portfolio question that I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure out...

I want to build a portfolio with categories. You click something and the appropriate slideshow or lightbox appears or comes into the scene. The troubling part is I dont want to scroll anywhere. I just want 6 categories and each respective lightbox all in one place. Any ideas?

In this case, I would reccomend you use something like a tabbed panel widget and place a lightbox for each inside a specific panel. You could create the overall layout for the lightbox display in the first panel and copy it across the rest to maintain design consistency.
Cheers,
Justin

Motion 4 + layered PSD files = me banging my head against the wall

I posted this same question in the other M4/PSD file problem, but it was marked as answered (and the answer isn't working for me).
I'm having a similar problem, but changing the resolution to the exact max of 2896x2896 doesn't work for me...and neither does any smaller resolution for some reason.
Today, my layered PSD file is at least not experiencing the crazy tile-effect you included in your posted images, but it is now:
1) always converting the top layer of the PSD file to a flattened image of the whole file.
2) ignoring/mutating my alpha channel information, as areas that should be transparent and smoothly masked off are now opaque and/or blocky.
My images are large, but I need to keep them large for dollying in real closely when i fly a camera through the scene. This is not a problem in After Effects, but I also need to do a lot of these 2.5D animations and several need particle/replicator effects... and I just work much much faster in Motion than AE. I don't remember having this problem with Motion 3 at all, but I can't say I've done a scientific comparison (nor do I want to uninstall M4 for M3).

Thank you!

I can't believe I didn't see that! I scanned them in 24-bit color but they are B&W images anyways, so I'm not sure why or how they ended up as 8-bit greyscale... maybe has something to do with the lousy HP dinosaur-of-a-scanner and it's weird proprietary HP interface (couldn't get it to interface with PS4 and don't use it enough to fuss with it).
Thanks!

Banging my head against the wall

I am working on a program to calculate bmi. I have input to read in age range and gender. When I enter input to look at both genders, it does not calculate the total patients or calculate the averages. Any help would be appreciated.
//prompts user for inputs
System.out.print("Enter the file name: ");
System.out.flush();
filename = console.nextLine();
System.out.println("What age range would you like to examine?");
System.out.print("Enter starting age: ");
System.out.flush();
agelooking = console.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter ending age: ");
System.out.flush();
agelooking2 = console.nextInt();
System.out.println("What gender would you like to examine?\n"
+ "Enter F for Female; M for Male; B for Both genders: ");
genderlooking = console.next().charAt(0);
//reads in gender and age range
while (inFile.hasNext()) {
//read in gender
gender = inFile.next().charAt(0);
if (genderlooking == gender){
//read in age range
age = inFile.nextInt();
// filters logic for age
if(age >=agelooking && age2 <=agelooking2) {
totalpatients++;
//reads in height and weight
weight = inFile.nextInt();
height = inFile.nextInt();
//calculates bmi
bmi = (weight * weightkg) / Math.pow(height * heightm, 2);
totalbmi = bmi + totalbmi;
//takes bmi calculation and filters into 4 categories
if (bmi < 18.5) {
underweight++;
if (bmi >= 18.5 && bmi <= 24.9) {
normal++;
if (bmi >= 25.0 && bmi <= 29.9) {
overweight++;
if (bmi >= 30) {
obese++;
} //end while
//calculates averages
averagebmi = totalbmi/totalpatients;
averageUnderweight = underweight/totalpatients;
averageNormal = normal/totalpatients;
averageOverweight = overweight/totalpatients;
averageObese = obese/totalpatients;
//writing results to output file
outfile.println("Results of the BMI analysis for " + practiceName + ": \n\n");
if (gender == 'm' || gender == 'M')
Gender = "Male";
else
if (gender == 'f' || gender == 'F') {
Gender = "Female";
else
Gender = "Both";
outfile.println("Patients of " + Gender + " gender in age range of " + agelooking
+ " to " + agelooking2);
outfile.println ("Number of patients examine: " + totalpatients);
outfile.printf ("%.1f percent Underweight%n", averageUnderweight * 100);
outfile.printf ("%.1f percent Normal%n", averageNormal * 100);
outfile.printf ("%.1f percent Overweight%n", averageOverweight * 100);
outfile.printf("%.1f percent Obese%n%n", averageObese * 100);
outfile.printf("Average BMI: %.1f",averagebmi);
inFile.close();
outfile.close();
System.exit(0);
}

Because this line will never be true is you are looking for both genders, unless one of the records in teh file was entered as B for gender (Hermaphrodite?)
if (genderlooking == gender){
//Change that line to this
if(genderlooking == 'b' || genderlooking == 'B' || genderlooking == gender){

Banging by head against the wall over FlashVars

OK. This was supposed to be a quick few minute edit that has consumed hours. There is something wrong but I can't find it.
All I want to do is read a number in from a FlashVar. These are the relavent code snippets.
HTML
<param name="FlashVars" value="pid=1" />
AS3
var keyStr:String;
var valueStr:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (keyStr in paramObj) {
     valueStr = String(paramObj[keyStr]);
     if(keyStr == "pid") strFlashVarPID = valueStr;
if(valueStr=="1") pid=1 else pid=2;
I am always getting a pid=2.
Why? How can I troubleshoot this? I can't see trace values when viewing the SWF from a web page.

Here is all the HTML code:
          <div id="flashContent">
               <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="715" height="800" id="my" align="top">

Banging my head on the wall about this

Post Author: despec
CA Forum: General
Folks,Is there any way possible in CR 11.5 to "store" a field value to be compared with the next record's same field value? I need to compare a previous date field within a record with a new date field within the next record to see if it is a consecutive day. I just can't figure out how to do this using a formula, becase my "previous" date just becomes the current record date field. Help, my head is getting softer as we speak :-)David

I assume you just want to use the Previous() or Next() function. Look them up in the help.

Banging My Head Against Grep Wall

I'm trying to filter lines out of a log within a shell script, with line like this...
cat log | grep -v "filter word" | grep -v "filter 2" > newLog
...but I cannot find the grep or egrep command for something slightly more complex than a simple match.
I want to exclude (delete) all lines ending with "/" EXCEPT if they begin with "deleting".
So a file which contains these 4 lines...
this gets through
deleting - this gets through/
deleting - this gets through
this does NOT get through/
...will result in this...
this gets through
deleting - this gets through/
deleting - this gets through
Thanks very much for any pointers. Maybe I shouldn't be trying it with just grep?

This works for me at least for the small sample that you provide:
grep '^deleting.*/$|[^>$' log > newLog
What it lets through is:
1. Lines that begin with deleting AND end in /
2. Lines that do not end in a /
I hope that this does what you need.

Banging my head against the window

No matter what I do, I have no control over the size of child windows. This is pretty simple, but it's ignoring me totally. Here's what I've got:
// The container stuff seems to work fine. I'll include it here in case I've done something stupid in it that's affecting the child classes.
public class MainFrame extends JFrame
protected JDesktopFrame m_desktop;
protected JPanel m_panel;
MainFrame()
m_panel = new JPanel();
m_panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
this.setContentPane(m_panel);
m_desktop = new JDesktopPane();
m_desktop.setDesktopManager(new DefaultDesktopManager());
m_panel.add(m_desktop);
public void AddChildWindow()
MyChild child = new MyChild();
child.setVisible(true);
m_desktop.add(child);
public class MyChild extends JInternalFrame
private JPanel m_panel;
private JScrollPane m_scrollPane;
private JButton m_button;
public MyChild()
super("Title here", true, true, true, true);
m_panel = new JPanel();
m_scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
m_button = new JButton();
this.setContentPane(m_panel);
m_panel.add(m_scrollPane);
m_scrollPane.add(m_button);
m_button.setsize(200,200);
m_button.setText("This button is very very tiny for some reason.");
What I need is the ability to add a single control to this child window (a JTable, if you must know), and be able to move the window around, and resize it, and see the control. If the control is larger than the window, I need to be able to scroll.
What am I missing? I've tried lots of setSize() methods on stuff, and things like various LayoutManagers at different points, but nothing seems to make any difference. All I see is a child window with a single, tiny button, and if I resize it, it snaps back to tiny. Moving it around doesn't make it stick, either.
Any help, hints, or examples are VERY appreciated!
--- Eric

what is the problem, that the button you are adding wont resize or the window wont resize?
If the button wont resize it could be that you are using the JScrollPane.add() method which you shouldn't use anyway instead use JScrollPane.setViewportView()

I transfered my Itunes libruary to my External hard drive. Everything was going well until I updated my Itunes then I lost everything. The Itunes folder is still on my extenal hardrive. I have changed my itunes media folder location on my preferences but still nothing on my itunes. Can you please help?

what happens if you launch iTunes while holding shift, click on choose library at the prompt, and select the iTunes folder on the external ?

First, I am not well versed when it comes to computers, with that being said I need help. I was trying to figure out how to get my music from my ipod onto my computer and somehow all my music on my ipod is gone and none of it made it to my computer.

Is there any way I can find my music? I had originally added this music to my ipod from my old now deceased computer and I didn't have it backed up externally.
Message was edited by: PLATBSP

It is now gone. If it was not iTunes purchased music you will have to get your CDs out and rerip them on the new computer. You have to use 3rd party software to copy non-iTunes music from an iPod to a computer, such as Yamipod.

Banging my head against a brick wall

Some background information: I currently have two phone lines, let’s call them line A and line B.
At the beginning of September I decided to move by broadband to BT and signed up online for a Total Broadband package to be activated on line A (the line on which my previous broadband service was active). During the signing up process I was asked if I wished to save money and sign up to the line rental saver, which I did. I got my order confirmation by e-mail and thought all was well.
Having ordered BT Broadband for line A, I decided that I would cancel line B, as I had no use for it.
Shortly after the initial order confirmation e-mail, I received a further e-mail and noticed it stated that new services were starting on both line A and line B, which confused me as I had never signed up for any changes to line B. So I called Customer Services to check out the situation and explained that I wished to cancel line B and did not understand why services relating to that line were mentioned in my e-mail. I was informed that BT was unable to do anything at the time due to there being an order on the line. However, I was told that if I called back once the broadband had been activated on line A, then everything could be sorted out.
So, as soon as the broadband order had been completed on line A, I called back Customer Services to cancel line B. However, I was told that I had paid the line rental saver for line B and would lose that money if I cancelled the line. I checked my account online and, sure enough, BT had activated the broadband on line A but, inexplicably, had applied the line rental saver to line B.
Immediately, I called Customer Services to sort out the problem: I wanted BT to change the line rental saver from line B to line A (as per my order) and cancel line B. However, I was told that it was not possible to change the line rental saver from one line to another. I tried to explain that the error was on the part of BT and that it was down to them to find a solution, only to be met by protestations that this was not possible. I have now spoken to customer services on three separate occasions to try and sort out the problem, without success. Twice I have requested call-backs from a manager and heard nothing either time.
I have now reached the end of my tether as I do not understand why BT is claiming that they are unable to correct their own error. As a result of the situation, I am currently paying for a line I no longer want and am unable to cancel the line without losing a fair amount of money.
Where did it all go wrong with BT customer service? I am sick of speaking to people who struggle to grasp the nature of issues and appear powerless to address any problems unless they are on their crib sheets. It is very frustrating that BT makes it impossible to escalate problems to managers when needed and I am incredulous that the Company is trying to claim that it is unable to sort out a billing error of its own making (particularly as I would imagine that the change of line rental saver from one line to another is simply a matter of changing some details on a computer system).
I hope that someone here can offer some help or point me in the right direction, as I currently feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall and am very disappointed with BT’s response so far.
Many thanks
DJW

Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

I recently set up multiple accounts and when I was trying to figure out how to share files I messed up something in my documents. Everytime I open a doc from the ADMIN account, a box pops up that says "The file is not in the correct format" how to fix?

I recently set up multiple accounts on my imac, When I was trying to figure out how to share the documents I must have done something wrong. When logged into the Admin account, I open up any document and I get a message box that says, "The Document could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format." What did I do and how do I fix it?

Without knowing what you did it is impossible to give advice on how to correct it.
If these were files you copied over from some other system then just Re-Copy them replacing the ones that are corrupted.
Other then that I suggest you Wipe the drive and start over with a clean reinstall of the OS and programs. Then if you want to share files to All Accounts place those files in a folder in the ROOT of the drive.

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
Please help.

thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.
