Scrolling thumbnails and Tearing

See the following video
http://ntbone.homeip.net/public_html/LightroomScrolling.wmv
This tearing that appears while scrolling with the wheel is annoying and painful to the eyes. It makes scrolling through photos horrible. I have a Core i7, 12 gigs of ram, 7200 RPM Sata drives and dual Radeon 4850 video cards. I am running LR3.3. Anyone else experiencing this?

Ah. Sorry. My intention was for people to right click and save the file, not to try to view it streaming. I have now also uploaded it to youtube for your convience.

Scroll bar and tab bar turn to images, images on a page repeat themselves

I don't know exactly how to explain my problem so I'll just give some examples.
- On youtube, video thumbnails copy themselves on top of the other video thumbnails, and sometimes I can see 2 or 3 same thumbnail, but when I hover the cursor above them they return to normal. The names or video links are unaffected, just the thumbnail.
- On facebook and some other forums, same problem exists. One thing I noticed, it doesn't affect huge files, as in it doesn't replace huge images but copies something like 200x200 image to some other place.
- Some of the tabs in tab bar and scroll bar sometimes turn into diagonal patterns, and scroll bar sometimes has the same problem I gave as example above. The grey default layer turns into an image. But hovering the cursor above it returns it to normal again.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi, thanks a lot for the support. I've found the solution!
I've checked all of the installed programs on my system. All programs are from verified publishers.
Actual problem was with graphic drivers. My laptop is Sony Vaio and therefore I had the recommended latest drivers (for my graphic card) available from Sony website installed. The graphic card is from NVIDIA GeForce. So, don't know why but I uninstalled all graphic drivers from the system and downloaded the latest drivers available for my graphic card hardware from NVIDIA website. Now the new latest drivers from NVIDIA solved the problem !!! Firefox is working perfect. No problem on any website.
May be the same can work for other Firefox users also having this problem. No need to disable "hardware acceleration when available" in Firefox.
Happy !!!! :D :D

XML scrolling thumbnail, image loader, & Buttons [halfway works]

Intro:
I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.
For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.
I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline:
Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.
Issue #1
As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...
1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.
[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.
Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.
[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"]
[also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
Issue #2
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.
However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]
With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:
Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.
Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.
I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science. [yes, for many its not...but my brain just does not operate that route despite all the tutorials thrown at me.]
Again, it would seem that there would be a button panel where you could drag options like scrolling thumbnail slider, loader, and then parameters would come up. [much like Apples iWeb. - but before the argument of one being pro and the other for non-pros, I see it differently. Software should not be the limiting factor in how flexible you can design, or rather ones lack of programming shouldnt be. With all the talented, and I say this in all humility and honesty, programmers working for Adobe, Im sure something could be programmed like what Im asking for.]
note: Director is a good example, back in 1997 I knew nothing of multimedia and in one week I had assembled a portfolio, clicking buttons, speech, movies, and all. - and no, I dont have the money to buy more software!
At this moment I am at the mercy of someone who reads code like its a nighttime tale they are telling their kids, and who can see the exact issue I have and can share the appropriate, correct code. [as I have noticed, it has to be on target - naturally - but this target changes with just a slight change in the design.]
Thank you,
peace
Dalen
p.s.
The actionscript: [note: This is only the current working/good code that Im trying to get the buttons to call up.]

The issues with the buttons calling up the scrolling thumbnail panel have been resolved, as well as keeping the buttons in their hit state once clicked, thanks to Rob.
Those that have been following this thread, or stumble upon it in their searches later, may appreciate to see the final solution to this particular issue.
[Hopefully I will be able to update this thread with a url in the future to show the site in operation, which may help somebody with their project in the future if its set up similarly.]
Alas, it would be nice if future versions of flash had a more direct, flexible, user friendly method for creating navigation.
[We may see development beyond the flash ads which everyone seems to loathe... and more creativity with flash in terms of games, web interactivity, & animation.
Below are 2 sets of code:
a] the first is located within the first frame of the first button, and has some extra variables in it that the additional buttons call upon...
b] the second is the code applied to every other button.

Changing the scroll thumbnail size

When I click in the scroll bar, a small thumbail appears (which I call the scroll thumbnail because I don't know what it is actually called). This allows me to scroll up and down, giving me a preview of what is on the page that I will see when I release the click.
Is there any way to make this thumbnail larger?

No. This doesn't work. The moment I release the left mouse button, the thumbnail disappears. I cannot make the thumbnail appear unless the left mouse button is held down.
See attachment: This is the thumbnail I want to make bigger

Scrolling Thumbnails - Dynamic List

Can you point me to a source for creating a scrolling
thumbnail movie where the images in the movie are either populated
from a database, or from a file structure?

OK, so I've tracked down the code that's causing it. I use
attachMovie to attach the thumbnails to their holder clip. What is
causing the glitch with the gradient mask is the code on the border
of the thumbnail. The problem is the _visible=true code. It's in
onEnterFrame, so _visible=true is called on each frame iteration,
and each time it's called, it applies the mask again (resulting in
a solid block because the gradient mask is applied so many times.)
If I just remove all the _visible references, it works fine, so it
seems like a bug with gradient masks when you set masked content's
_visible state. Here is the code on my thumbnail's border: (I
realize there are many ways to do this more efficiently, but the
point is that calling _visible=true shouldn't reapply the gradient
mask to the masked contents.)
onClipEvent (load) {
_alpha = 0;
_visible = false;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (curProjectThumb == _parent.id) {
_visible = true; // every time this is called, it reapplies
the gradient mask to this thumbnail
if (_alpha<100) {
_alpha += 20;
} else {
_alpha = 100;
} else {
if (_alpha>0) {
_alpha -= 20;
} else {
_alpha = 0;
_visible = false;

Slider with scrolling thumbnails

Is there a way within Muse to have a slider/gallery with scrolling thumbnails? Currently I am using a third party gallery to accomplish this, but I'd rather stay within Muse itself.

You can try using compositions and then slideshow within composition.
In composition target container insert the slideshow and as set of slides create different slideshows for separate composition containers.
It would similar effect.

Horizontal Scrolling Thumbnails Slideshow (Are these possible in Muse CC 2014)

Good afternoon Muse Forum: My name is Ira Bitner from NYC U.S.A.
How are you? I have a question regarding slideshow and thumbnails in MUSE CC 2014.
Q: In Muse is it possible to have a Slideshow with Scrolling Horizontal Thumbnails? In other words is it possible to build a slideshow where, for instance, maybe 30 thumbnails are used but only 5 or so are visible in a horizontal row under the main ("hero" image) and when an arrow is clicked the thumbnails advance horizontally to the left bringing up the new group of thumbnails that were, "hidden" on the original horizontal row? This allows the site to contain many more thumbnails than can "fit" on the page and at the same time not cause the extra thumbnails to be made to be stacked vertically all on the same page seen all at once?
This is a very popular way to show a slideshow that advances the images. I have spent all night and hours and hours researching Muse in the forums, videos, tutorials web-wide and have not been able to find a way to achieve this kind of slideshow. I would have thought the actual slideshow widget would have made it very evident if this was actually possible to build in Muse. Please help. If you need any website link as an example of the slideshow advancing thumbnail horizontally I'll add one, but it is very common and I can't believe Muse would not allow this to be built.

AS3 Creating Side Scrolling Thumbnails?

I'm creating a gallery page for my site, and I need a side
scrolling thumbnail display.
Basically it would have several thumbnails that would keep
scrolling for ever (some how duplicating the content in a mask). If
anyone has anything like this or any links that would be great.
Cheers!

XML based scrolling thumbnails

IMPORTANT: My first time with flash and actionscript but am a computer science student so code is ok.
that said I wanna build a xml based scrolling thumbnails in an horizontal bar.
each pic should have some effect when the mouse is over it +
the scrolling bar should scrol left or right depending on the mouse pos+
the bar stops when am over a pic (with some conditions)
I think this i all
PS: I have only two days to do it :s
I know it would be better if I do it from scratch this is how I do normaly but here am completly snowed under
plz help thx

Your best bet for getting a solution handed to you is to do a Google search for "AS3 scrolling menu tutorial" Since code isn't an issue for you, you should be able to modify whatever you find to suit your detail needs once you understand how it is designed.

Firefox dont allow me to see thumbnails and profile pictures of my facebook friends

I cant see my friend's thumbnails and profile pictures. It makes me upset cuz i cant see any pictures!

It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right-click context menu while saving an image.
* [[Options window - Content panel]]
* [[Images or animations do not show]]
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Aperture constantly generating previews and thumbnails and detecting faces

After starting Aperture or scrolling in the browser part of the Split View Aperture starts to generat previews and thumbnails and detecting faces, staling all my work in Aperture for a long time. After a while it is done, but start again if I start scrolling a lot in the browser or restarting Aperture. Aperture does not crash but it is it takes forever to work since it stalls everything. I can also se that after working for about ten minutes in Aperture almost all of my memory is gone. After a freshly restarted Mac I have about 13 GB of memory and after about ten minutes of work it is down to a few hundred MB. After closing Aperture I only get back about 8 GB of memory.
I have tried the following:
* Rebuilding thumbnails for all picture
* Force rebuilding previews for all pictures (Holding down the Option key)
* Reprocessed Originals for all pictures
* Repaired permissions
* Repaired database
* Rebuilt database
* Deleted aperture.plist file
All of the above completed without errors, but I still have the same problem. I also tried to un-check “Maintain Previews For Project” and “New projects automatically generate previews” but with no luck (This is off course not a solution but a workaround).
What else can I do?
I hav the following:
- iMac, late 2009
- 16 GB memory
- Aperture 3.5.1 (Had the same problem in Aperture 3.4.5 and possibly even before)

Is Aperture more responsive, if you defer the generation of previews by holding down the Shift-key when launching Aperture?
Feels a bit better but still regenerating previews.
Also, have you checked, if Aperture is more responsive, when you are working with a different Aperture library?
I tried creating a new library in two different ways using all pictures from my project "2010" which I know contains pictures that Aperture keeps regenerating previews from. First I exported the project as a new aperture library, but when I opened that new library it also kept regenerating pictures. Next I exported all originals from that project and imported them in a new aperture library and success. No more regeneration of previews. But I don't think it is a solution because I have over 23 000 pictures in my library and I will loose all adjustments, stacks and faces doing this to the rest of the pictures.
As to running out of memory - there have been reports, that "On Screen Proofing" might be causing this, disable it (from the View menu), if it is turned on, see this post: Re: Aperture 3.5 repeatedly crashes as 'memory full' despite 32GB RAM
"On Screen Proofing" was not on. But to be sure I tried to toggle the menu item but it did not get checked, until I understood that I had to select a Proofing Profile first. After that I selected and unselected "On Screen Proofing", but it did not help.
Do you use any Aperture plug-ins?
I had an old plug-in for exporting to Picasa which I don't think works anymore so I removed it, but it did not help.
Is your Aperture library referenced or managed?
I have a managed library.
And where is it stored?
The Aperture library is stored on my local hard drive in the shared directory. I hade plans to share it with other users on my computer but because of these problems I have not gone forward with those plans yet.

Spacing a scrolling thumbnail gallery

Hiya,
OK...easiest thing is for you to take a look at this
CLICK FOR SAMPLE
Click on photo...click to view portfolio...click landscapes
and you'll get an idea of what i'm trying to achieve.
The idea is that when you roll over the images they grow to
give a larger view. Each thumbnail is a movie with action script to
make it expand on rollover and shrink on rollout.
As you can see, when the images expand they overlap the
thumbnails and appear under the thumbnails on the right...doesnt
look too impressive. Obviously the effect i wish to achieve is that
the thumbnails spread either side of the enlarged image. Is there
any coding I can sue to achieve this?
Alternatively (and possibly in preference to this) is it
possible to create the effect of a mac dock - i.e. the images
gradually get smaller away from the cursor -
SEE
THIS IMAGE. I'm guessing I would need to define an objects size
depending upon how close to its centre the cursor is.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks very much!

Hello aniebel,
i am trying to create the same sort of panel scroll but am
having trouble having the panel sroll from left to right when mouse
is over. here is what i have so far:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root)
function scrollPanel () {
if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.Max ||
_ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax);
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame
if(panel._x >= -348.2) {
panel._x = -348.2;
if(panel._x >=-839.5) {
panel._x = -839.5;
var xdist = _xmouse -383;
panel._x += -xdist / 7;{
does this make sense??? or am i just confusing things??
thanks in advance.

Mini-DVI port not working: wear and tear?

I had been happily using the mini-DVI port to play content on TV, using a DVI to Video adapter : plugging and unplugging probably twice a week.
Now it seems to have stopped, abruptly: no signal at all is reaching the TV. (Adapter still works fine on my MacBook.)
What are the chances of wear and tear damaging the DVI port? Is this a complicated fix? Any other thoughts? No recent upgrades or updates.
"About this Mac" reckons it's mirroring fine, so it feels like a hardware thing. Many thanks in advance.

Hello ewfelton
It is very possible that the DVI port on the iMac has been damaged from wear and tear, as it's harder to get at than the MacBook.
I would disconnect everything from the iMac, grab a clean towel and turn it face down on the desk. Then with a magnifying glass and light inspect the DVI port for a broken or bent pin. In the process of inspecting the port your SMC will also be reset, follow the instruction for "How to reset the System Management Controller" when your done.
If the port seems OK and the SMC reset doesn't get it going use Disk Utility to Repair Disk Premissions and try it again.
Your local Apple Store or local Apple Service Provider can replace a bad or damaged DVI port.

Touchpad no longer scrolls up and down on Satellite A

So my HD crashed and i have to completely install Windows and all the Toshiba stuff with it a new.
All is well - except for one thing, my touchpad no longer scrolls up and down using the side of it in IE or Chrome, but it still works in SeaMonkey.
My Computer technician tells me it's an issue with getting some new driver for the touchpad, and i think i had to do that already about a year ago when i still had my original HD running.
So i went to the Toshiba.ch website and tried to find something.
I found all their "verfication" stuff and got inside the system and it instantly returned about 45 drivers by the looks of my "un"-driving eyeys they all could have been for whatever, so i searched especially for "touch pad" and yes, there was one for my Synapsis touchpad and XP as well, so i downloaded it - or i should say i opened it in Win Zip and checked first on the "readme file - wow, that was some Portugese in there, and that's when i kind of begun to feel lost.
I check in at Toshiba.ch, get a ton of drivers in my face i have no clue whether i am supposed to download them all or what, and when i finally pick what i think i need the whole thing seems to be in Portugese, what the crickey in the afternoon is this???
Anyway, before i download and try to install stuff i have no clue about i was hoping someone would actually give me a better hint on what i have to do exactly to get my touchpad to scroll up and down again also in Chrome, IE and where ever else.
I use Service Pack 3 on Win XP Pro and was told that's maybe why the old original driver for this laptop needs to be updated, but which file, where to get it, and how to properly install it please anyone???

Thanks for that, you confirm what i actually found out myself in the meantime.
The way i got this issue solved was that i first tried to download and install the Synaptics driver from the Toshiba site - that simply failed miserably, glad with no negative side effects at least.
Nesxt i used what unfortunately is way easier that sites like the Toshiba overload, i used Google to simply find the Synaptics website and instantly got the link to their driver download - eh voila, that actually gave me a .exe file, not an endless array of zipped files like the stuff on the Toshiba site in endless language versions!!!
This worked, tested everything out alread since a while.
- Which now leaves me with the question about the second driver you mentioned,
Alps Electric
what is that one needed for??
I have not seen this name on my lappy before, so totally unsure about whether it still needs this dispite things are working everywhere, i did not even have to go into the Device Settings of the Mouse / touchpad to change or rearrange anything in there after the direct download from Synapsis, but well informed is always best, so if you could let me know about that
Alps thing would appreciate...

Mini DVI Broken (Wear and Tear?)

I've been pushing my mid-2007 Mac around for a while and I think its startting to sputter out. Whereas I have other computers I'd like to make my Mac run as long as possible before it goes kaput completely. For instance, its monitor screen is completely broken and unusable. To keep it going, I've been attaching it through a Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter to a AOC 23" LCD screen for a while. This has been a suitable replacement until recently. I plug in the adapter, the screen powers up normally, working perfectly for about a second, the computer eminates a high pitched ringing noise, and then the screen goes out as if unconnected unable to read the adapter at all. I'm near certain this problem is with the computer's Mini DVI port and not the adapter or screen. I've tried two adapters and connected the screen to other things. Same problem with other adapters and the screen works with other things. Can it be fixed? Overly costly? Is it possible that the problem is something else? I have literally no screen here so I have only the hardware availible to me at the moment, making things difficult.
