Resizing issue using PageFlip 2.25

Hello all!  I am running into an issue using the free version of PageFlip (http://pageflip.hu/free.php).  I'm trying to resize the flash file, but when I do, the mouse rollover in the corners appears on the opposite corner of the current page.  I was able to get everything to work OK at one size, but after I resized the stage and all the other elements the problem showed up.  I have examples posted at the links below.  The first the page is sized to 600 pixels (which worked); the second is sized to 720 pixels (with problems).  I would appreciate any help!  THANKS!!

look for
        pages.mask._xscale = 100;
I changed it to
        pages.mask._xscale = 110;
and
        pages.mask._xscale = -100;
to
        pages.mask._xscale = -110; 
    if(sx>0) {                 //flip forward 
        pages.mask._xscale = 110;

  • Please help-Trying to compress to Mpeg-2 for Convention, also resizing issues

    Hello,
    I just recently finished making an AMV in Adobe Premiere 5.5, and I am having trouble trying to figure out how to compress it into an Mpeg-2 source for a competition/convention.
    I also have these massive black borders on the side of my video that I know is probably due to improper resizing on my part, and although I have tried to remedy this with a new avisynth script of the exported uncompressed AVI (before compressing to MPEG-2), whenever I try to run the avisynth script in either VirtualDubMod or TMPGEnc (the converting program recommended by: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/mpegforcons/) it crashes, although the original video does work.
    This is the avisynth script I have created for the post-video:
    FFVideoSource("C:\Users\Freeman\Desktop\Fight the Power.avi")
    FFCopyrightInfringement("C:\Users\Freeman\Desktop\Fight the Power.avi")
    AssumeFPS("23.976")
    SSRC(48000)
    LanczosResize(720,352)
    AddBorders(0,64,0,64)
    per the recommendations from the guide listed below
    I do not know if the resizing I have set up in the new avisynth script will fix my resizing issues, and I would like to improve that as much as possible, so if someone could clarify for me, that would be greatly appreciated.
    You may also notice some audio issues throughout the video, however on further playback this never appears to happen in the same place. I believe this is caused by poor audio quality, and I have a friend of mine working on setting up a lossless source that I will try to recompress with the video before friday, however if someone else might know what is causing this, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is the current MPEG-2 I have, however for obvious reasons, I do not consider it acceptable as of yet:
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IIKYWRXF
    The original export from Premiere is Microsoft AVI Uncompressed, and then attempted to convert to MPEG-2 (I tried multiple settings, they all have the same sizing issues), and as I said before, no matter what I try to do with the avisynth script, it crashes.
    I have even tried taking out every line from the new avisynth script except for the first two detailing the location of the video and audio, however this does nothing, it still crashes.
    I had to convert all my original source avisynth scripts to AVI files (that are massive, as I am editing from 52 episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood), and so editing the original scripts is impossible at this point, because to my knowledge, that would mean I would have to reconvert them all to AVI, which took over 16 hours, and then that would probably make me have to re-edit this entire video (which if you look at it, based on length and how much work I've put into it: is impossible, especially given the time constraints).
    So anything that I can do to fix this will have to be done to the export from Premiere, unless there is a way to work with the AVI's that I made from the avisynth scripts.
    The source is primarily 16:9 DVD (Fullmetal Alchemist) and very few parts from a 4:3 DVD (Naruto). (You can recognize these parts in the video, it is whenever someone is rowing in a boat during the lyrics "Row Row")
    The avisynth script for all the fullmetal alchemist DVD's is as follows:
    mpeg2source("F:\DVD RIPS\Music Video Rips\Brotherhood\Disc 1 (1-7)\MainMovie\FMA_BROTHERHOOD_P1_D1\FMAB 1-7.d2v", cpu=4)
    ConvertToYV12()
    Spline36Resize(848,480)
    #TTempSmooth()
    FastLineDarkenMod()
    LSFmod(strength=120)
    LUTDeRainbow()
    And the avisynth script for the one Naruto DVD is as follows:
    mpeg2source("F:\DVD RIPS\Music Video Rips\Random\Row Row\MainMovie\ROW ROW\VTS_01_1.d2v")
    TFM()
    TDecimate()
    Spline36Resize(848,636)
    Crop(0,78, 0,-78)
    These recommendations came from what I could figure out from:
    http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech31/
    If anyone is curious, the song is "Libera me from Hell", and it is 44100 from what I could tell when I ran it in WINAMP (I converted it from mp3 to wav through WINAMP, if there is a better way that I am unaware of, please let me know).
    I know this is extremely long, and thank you anyone who has taken their time to look through it, it is greatly appreciated.
    The deadline for this is friday (5/20/11), so I need help with this ASAP and thanks,
    Dexter

    Dexter,
    Those "black borders," if they are visible in the Program Monitor, are most likely due to a mis-match between the Source Files and the Sequence Preset.
    If they are only showing up upon Export, then there is likely a mis-match between your Sequence and your Export, and could be either with the Aspect Ratio, or if using non-square pixels, the PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio).
    I'll defer any commens on AVISynth to the experts here.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Mackintosh user - unable to resize screen using pinch

    I am unable to use the pinch feature on my Mac to resize the Firefox browser. I read the community blog about another Mac user who experienced the same problem and his solution is beyond my expertise. Nevertheless, I would really like to use Firefox instead of Chrome or Safari because I enjoy the independent community branding of Firefox. However, without the simple ability to use a primary feature of the Apple computer to resize the browser makes it a more unlikely transition. I have never had resizing issues with Chrome -- why is it so with Firefox? And why is it so laborious to accomplish?
    Please help. I really want to a sole user of Firefox. Thanks

    Hi, I think that works only with safari alone.

  • I have an issue using Lighting Effects in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014

    Hello everyone,
    I am having issues using Lighting Effects in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014. I created a duplicate layer that I want to do the effects on, converted it to a smart object and on that same layer went to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects  to get to the Lighting Effects screen. When adjusting the parameters (drag/reshape the lights) for either the spotlight or point light, I don't see any changes. Can someone tell me what could be the issue or if I'm doing the steps wrong to apply the effects?
    Here are my specs:
    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.140303-2144)
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600S CPU @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
    Memory: 8192MB RAM
    Available OS Memory: 8174MB RAM
    Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6570   
    Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.
    Display Memory: 743 MB
    Dedicated Memory: 1008 MB
    Shared Memory: 3831 MB 

    I am experiencing flickering issues as well. However my issues are with the Fast Color Corrector and the Three Way Color Corrector. It seems as if the color correction tools are causing intermittent flickering on some people's systems.
    Additionally when I converted some old PPCC 7.2.2 projects which had the Three Way Color Corrector applied, some clips in sequences would come up as a green screen in the program monitor. If I turned the TWCC off the footage would display correctly in the program window. If I turn the TWCC back on it would display the green screen again.
    I haven't found a solution to the flickering but to solve the green screen issue I have to remove the effect, then re apply it. I guess for whatever reason, the 2014 version of PP has issues with 7.2.2 projects where the TWCC was applied.
    I'm hoping Adobe will address this soon with an update for the various bugs that have been reported.

  • An issue using the COM components supplied with SAP GUI 6.2 or 6.4

    We are having an issue using the COM components supplied with SAP GUI 6.2 or 6.4.  We used to have SAP 4.6c and now we have 5.0.  When we were on 4.6c, we used these COM components to logon and execute RFC calls and we had much success.  Now that we are on 5.0, we can’t seem to instance any SAP functions that have something to do with SAP Workflow.  We have experienced this problem when using VB6 or .NET, but our existing code that always worked is in VB 6.0.
    SAP Components used:
    o     SAP Logon Control
    o     SAP Function Control
    o     Librfc32.dll
    o     Other supporting C DLLs and/or COM object supplied with the SAP GUI installation.
    For example, if we want to call the RFC ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT, this code fails in VB6 when the “Set objworkflow = objFuncCtrl.Add(strFunction)” line of code executes.  Instead of returning an instance of the object ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT function, no object is created.  In 6.2, SAP raises no errors, but the object we are trying to create is still “Nothing”.  If we use 6.4, SAP raises an error “SAP data type not supported” via a message box and then the object is still = Nothing.  Interestingly enough, the 6.2 GUI COM controls don’t display the error dialog.  The message box that is shown comes from the SAP Function COM Object "SAP.Functions" (wdtfuncs.ocx).
    Now, what is interesting is if we use the same code to call a standard function or custom function that doesn’t have anything to do with SAP Workflow, then the code works fine.  Again, all of our code used to work just fine on an SAP 4.6 system.
    Here is the code that fails:
        'SAP Logon control - object for creating connections to an SAP system
        Dim objSAPLogonCtrl As Object
        'SAP connection object
        Dim objConnection As Object
        'Object that will represent the SAP function called
        Dim objSAP As Object
        'SAP function control object - object factory for creating other SAP function objects
        Dim objFuncCtrl As Object
        'Create instance of an SAP logon conrol
        Set objSAPLogonCtrl = CreateObject("SAP.Logoncontrol.1")
        'Create a connection object
        Set objConnection = objSAPLogonCtrl.NewConnection
        'Define connecion parameters
        objConnection.ApplicationServer = "sapvm"
        objConnection.SystemNumber = "00"
        objConnection.Client = "800"
        objConnection.User = "iissap"
        objConnection.Password = "tstadm"
        objConnection.Language = "E"
        objConnection.TraceLevel = 10
        'call the logon method of the connection object
        If objConnection.Logon(0, True) = False Then
            MsgBox Error
            Exit Sub
        End If
        'Create an instance of the SAP Function control object
        Set objFuncCtrl = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
        'Set the function control connection object
        Set objFuncCtrl.Connection = objConnection
        'Function name to be generated and called
        Dim strFunction As String
        strFunction = <b>"ARCHIV_PROCESS_RFCINPUT"</b>
        'Create an instance of the function defined in strFunction
        Set objworkflow = objFuncCtrl.Add(strFunction)
        If objworkflow Is Nothing Then
            MsgBox "Could not create object " & strFunction
        Else
            MsgBox strFunction & " object created."
        End If
    If anyone has seen anything like this or has any ideas, please help!

  • Issues using macbook with bootcamp and external apple monitor

Also, when i disconnect the monitor fromt he computer, the computer screen will go black and I'll have to re-start
    Anybody experienced the same and can help?
    Thx

    just make sure that while its standing on its side there aren't any plugs or cables on that side. I'm not familiar with the mb port setup, but having power, two usb, and a display cable could prose a problem for sideward standing if they are on separate sides of the machine.
    as the first commenter mentioned the orientation of your computer is irrelevant, but you wouldn't want to have the weight of the laptop sitting ontop of a usb or video plug that's coming out the side.

  • Help with Video Performance Issues using Flash

    Asking on behalf of a customer who has been unable to get any answers so far - are you able to help?
    Background:
    We have a port of our Game Development Kit which allows us to recompile all our games using Crossbridge (http://adobe-flash.github.io/crossbridge/) into SWF without any code modifications.
    Overview:
    Our framework is using OpenGL for rendering and we have successfully ported it along with the audio and video to run in Flash.
    We are experiencing performance issues using Video. We cannot use image sequence as some of the video animations are too long and would increase the download to an unacceptable size.  Assets vary between 256x256 - 1024x1024 videos.

    Here's the rest of the story.  Let me know if you can see any resolution, and I will connect him to the forums.  Thank you.
    Current Video Solution:
    We create an instance of NetConnection, NetStream, and Video according to most samples out there, and invoke draw to rasterize the Video DisplayObject into a BitmapData instance.
    The BitmapData instance has a fixed color component layout which is not compatible with Stage3D texture and is therefore has to be reformatted before uploaded to Stage3D Texture (See Code Listing below).
    Our Problems:
    Performance issues with RGBA conversion (either using copyChannel or manually reformatting is not fast enough) natively in as3; this required for stage3d texture.Copying each channel individual using bitmapdata.Copychannel seems faster, but not significantly faster.
    Cannot detect when video frame has been updated, therefore we may copy pixels that are not needed in enterframe (processpixel).
    Looping video, our current solution uses the NET_STATUS event Buffer empty; Is there a better way to loop videos than checking buffer and seeking to 0.
    Stepping video, loading FLV or MP4 side by side assets from HTTP or embedded does not support stepping? Is there another way?
    ActionScript Code Listing:
    video_nc = new NetConnection();
    video_nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS , onConnect);
    video_nc.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR , trace);
    video_nc.connect(null);
    // OnConnect Event:
    this.ns = new NetStream(e.target as NetConnection);
    eventclient = new Object();
    eventclient.onMetaData = onMetaData;
    this.ns.client = eventclient;
    ns.play(flvfile);
    ns.pause();
    //onMetaData event:
    this.width = infoObject.width;
    this.height = infoObject.height;
    this.textureWidth = NextPowerOfTwo(this.width);
    this.textureHeight = NextPowerOfTwo(this.height);
    cliprect = new Rectangle(0, 0, this.width ,this.height);
    cliprect.x = 0;
    cliprect.y = 0;
    cliprect.width = this.textureWidth;
    cliprect.height = this.textureHeight;
    totalFrames = infoObject.duration * infoObject.fps;
    this.hasAlpha = true;
    if(infoObject.videocodecid == 5)
    this.hasAlpha = true;
    this.bitmapData = new BitmapData(this.textureWidth, this.textureHeight, hasAlpha, 0xff000000);
    this.video = new Video(this.width, this.height);
    this.video.attachNetStream(ns);
    this.video.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, processPixels);
    // processPixel method:
    BitmapData.draw(video);
    GLAPI.instance.glBindTexture(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D,this.textureId);
    var fmt:uint = GLAPI.GL_ARGB;
    // converting pixels using copychannel or loop through pixels
    GLAPI.instance.glBindTexture(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D,this.textureId);
    GLAPI.instance.glTexImage2D(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, fmt, this.textureWidth, this.textureHeight, 0,fmt, GLAPI.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0, convBitmapData.getPixels(cliprect));

  • DB LINK issue using in a Procedure

    Hello All, I'm having an issue using DB link in a procedure to collect data into a pl/sql table.
    Table1 which is in 10g version being accessed by a DB link and has around 1 million records. Using this link I’m selecting data into another schema DB (which is 11g) into pl/sql table. To my surprise through an anonymous block I can populate data into pl/sql table less than half minute. If i use the same logic by creating a procedure, it takes forever? Is this something to do with the DB versions?
    Appreciate your help. Thanks!

    In that case you should be using a local table to hold the data.
    Create either a permanent local table or a global temporary table and populate it directly from the remote DB:
        INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO myLocalTable SELECT * FROM remoteTable@dblink
    {coded}
    Modify your procedure to load the local table and then process the data locally.
    The procedure should use SQL whenever possible.

  • Wireless connecion issues using a macbook

    Hi,
    RE: Wireless connecion issues using a macbook
    After doing some google searches, I have come to understand that there is a bug with OSX power management when running on battery which impacts the wireless connection of the macbook, though Apple geniuses are unaware of any such issue. Please see: http://kristopherjohnson.blogspot.com/2006/08/macbook-wireless-connection-drops. html and type in "macbook wireless connection problems" in google for many other discussions on this issue.
    For all those who are having wireless connection issues with a macbook:
    Plug in the macbook to use mains power (not the battery) to verify that you are impacted by the same bug (I even find sometime unable to connect to the router when on battery so have resorted to starting the machine with mains power plugged in). If that is the problem then here is a work around (taken from above blog):
    Open the terminal window and type in the following command: ping -i 5 google.com
    (this will ping the google domain every 5 seconds and maintain the wireless activity thus a connection).
    I am surprised that Apple are not acknowledging this well known and widely reported bug and fixing the issue. In my case, I dont mind plugging the machine into mains most of the time and that has resolved the problem, otherwise I hope the above pinging works for you.
    I discovered the workaround after ditching my old DLink router (though it had done its time) and buying an Airport extreme (£120), a trip to the Apple store (40 miles drive), trying several different people's machine on my network (frustration) and finally google to rescue, more specifically Kristopher Johnson's blog.
    NOTE: My macbook worked fine in the Apple store while on battery power which was frustrating but apparently the problem only arises when connecting to consumer grade networks and not commercial ones, which I dont understand technically.

    you can use but you will not get full screen on HDMI output.
    Sometimes width or height of the screen was not completely used by ur mac other then that everything would be good.
    You need to buy HDMI Output cable for mac something like this

  • Having some major mac - pc issues using remote workflow

    Hi all. I'm having some major issues using the InCopy workflow and was hoping someone could help me out with a few items.
    I've helped a client out with their workflow, proposing, demoing and promoting the InCopy workflow which seemed to be the best solution. And don't get me wrong when posting this message on the forum: I love the InCopy workflow and think it's briliant.
    The scenario is that a design agency needs to deliver the layout for a big annual report for their client, who then makes changes in the text etc. The design agency is on a mac (ofcourse), but the endclient is on a PC. Now after some training and trying this all works fine. They are using the remote workflow, using icap and idap files (which they place on dropbox for easy transfer)
    But they've been having so many issues these last few weeks, it's been crazy. And I'm actually starting to feel a bit uncomfortable every time they call me. Just to make clear, they love InCopy (... when it works). And eventhough I'm a huge supporter of the program I just wanted to make sure if there are any other glitches that I should know about. The thing is that (because I work for an IT company), every time they need support they get billed ofcourse. But the problem is that everytime they run into some kind of problem, production just stops and they need me to fix everything.
    Issues that they are having:
    - the endclient (so copywriter) works on a project all weekend (an icap file). Saves everything, checks in, closes, goes to bed. Next morning (monday) she opens up the same file to continue working and gets the "cannot recover..." error (see attachment). And she looses her edits. You need to understand that these copywriters really know what they're doing with InCopy.
    - when a colleague of hers is working with InCopy, and InCopy crashes and she reopens her file then it also happens that the checked-out stories from before remain checked out and she cannot continue (because the story has already been checked out by "another user" (herself)). I managed to resolve this by opening up the individual icml files in incopy and just closing them again. That seemed to remove the "lock" status of the icmls. But still they need me for support. This also happened in the design agency. They are working on a layout, check out stories, InDesign crashes, reopen file and stories remain checkout and they cannot continue because InDesign thinks that they're checked out to another user. And they do not have InCopy themselves so I cannot use my "open icml in incopy and close"-workaround.
    - after a few extra InCopy crashes (where InCopy.exe just doesn't feel like doing anything anymore and quits), I decided to place their files (unpacked icma and icmls from the icap) on the C drive instead of on their server and this seemed to resolve a bit of the trouble. The workflow seems to be a lot more stable now. I did this because they also received the dreaded "Error: code 0" message when starting up (and again) she lost her work). After some creative googling I was able to find out that this might have something to do with disk permissions and copy-paste issues on a PC server. Anyway, it was worth a try
    - only yesterday the client called me stating she couldn't start up her icap files anymore. I was able to recover the indiviual icml files and send these back to the design agency and recover part of her work. (after combing out the files I discovered on of the icml files was damaged and could not be opened, that is why opening the icap file failed).
    - and one last issue (which isn't really a problem but just a bit of a rant ;-). Why does it take 8 full minutes to open up a 2,6Mb icap file on a fast laptop (from the HD)? Even on my own laptop it takes several minutes? I know that the waiting time has something to do with the complexity of the files (images, how many styles, how many icmls, etc). But it seems ridiculously long.
    They've been having issues like this on a weekly basis and they're starting to loose faith in the solution because it's costing them more money (via support) then it's saving them.
    Does anyone have any experience with this? Is this because it's a mac-pc workflow? I understand that this is officially supported, but it practice teaches us that it's in fact not that stable I'd rather just recommend the client to get a mac from the start. Every client would rather hear that than having to deal with all these issues. And I have to say I'm very happy with the client for being so understanding, but I think they'll run out of patience soon if this keeps up. I've also included some other "postcards from InCopy" ;-) and so you must understand if you get all these errors during the last 3 weeks losing hours of work ... well it's just not fun anymore.
    Thank you all very much, and hopefully see you guys at PepCon this year.

    Hi Bob,
    You are right, I didn't give this information. I must have forgotten.
    Designers are working with:
    OSX 10.7.2
    InDesign CS5.5 (fully patched)
    Copywriters are working with:
    Windows 7
    InCopy CS5.5 (also fully pathed).
    There is no font managing software used, everyone uses open-type fonts which they specifically purchased for this workflow.
    If the problem persists I will try with the assignment based workflow on dropbox. I waited with this workflow because the client wants to keep their files on their server so they can have backups if something goes wrong. I know Dropbox makes backup as well, but lets just say they have more faith in their own systeem (dropbox was completely new to them ).
    So there are no reports of an unstable mac-pc InCopy workflow?
    Thanks
