Simple question - need to create a line that moves across the screen

Hello All;
Simple problem - I need to animate a line of a solid color that starts on the right and moves across the screen to the left. I know I can create a layer of a solid color and then animate the scale to sort of make it work but that changes both sides of the line and I need to only change the position of one side.
I know there are probably numerous ways of doing this - what is the easiest and most straightforward. Thanks.

rectangular mask that covers line, animate it off screen and it will
reveal the line as it moves off.

  • I have thin white lines going horizontally across the screen of my Ipod

    Its an 11 month old I-Pod touch 4th gen with some thin white lines horizontally across the screen. Its still under warr, so should I just mail it in for repairs/exchange or is this normal??

    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I need help making a square that scans across a screen.

    i'm trying to make a program that creates images of a square scanning across a black background.  so far all i have is a program that makes one image where i can alter the size of the square and its position.  I'm very very new to labview and i need help with the structure that would create all the images of the square scanning across and then shift down and scan across again.
    thank you very much,

    As Lynn found, there is a memory problem with the vi which didn't show up in my limited testing.
    Using Shift Registers with Picture Controls can cause problems.
    See this thread.
    Try the attached "mod" version.
    Then I got to thinking, why redraw the box (2x with "erase") - when you could just move a box around?
    (Note: I used a picture for the box, but you could use other objects.)
    The "mod1" version does it this way.

  • How do I get rid of the horizontal thin line that goes across the top persona image .

    There is a 1-pixel wide light horizontal grey line between the navigation toolbar and the bookmarks toolbar. This line goes across the persona background image nomatter what persona I have installed. It is not a monitor or graphic card problem since it only appears in FF. I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 with Windows Vista. I have tried different screen resolutions with no luck.

    No idea what you're talking about. i don't see anything like that.

  • I have a line that runs through the screen of my ipad. How do I get rid of it?

    I have a straight line that rund horizontally across my screen. Is this a reading line and
    how can I get rid of it?

    May be a LED problem. Before you bring it to Apple, try a reset.
    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • How do I get rid of the thin line that goes across the top Persona background image.

    There is a 1-pixel wide light grey line across the top Persona background image between the navigation toolbar and the bookmarks toolbar from left to right. Nomatter whatever persona I have installed, it is there. Same thing also when i hover on any other Persona at Getpersonas.com. It is not there when using any other program and not when only showing the desktop. Only when using FF4. My PC is a HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop using Windows Vista. This is not a monitor issue nor a graphic card issue since it only shows in FF.

    for me, it happens on a maximized window. when i do restore to window, the line disappears.

  • How do I create an object that moves with the mouse?

    I don't use Flash a lot, so things like this confuse me...
    I'm trying to code so that an object, mostly likely a circle, moves
    around when the mouse moves. Also, I want it to disappear when the
    mouse leaves the screen. Can anybody help me do this?
    Thanks.

    circle_mc is the instance name of the circle, so just change
    it to be whatever you want it to be.
    One thing with that, you may want to have the image centered
    within the stage of the movieclip, otherwise it will appear to be
    following the mouse by the corner of it.

  • My iphone5 camera has an intermittent fault where pink lines suddenly appear across the screen. This is captured on the photo. Any advice?

    My camera intermittently has pink lines over the screen which transmits into the photo.

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've been through ALL these recommended steps and the problem persists, bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • After installing OS X Mavericks, my cursor has been not working, by not even having a triangle cursor, just a set of lines, that expand across the whole screen when it goes over a random thing! Working on and off and getting worse, what should I do ?

    please help, need suggestions

    Hi sean981024,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your cursor isn't working as expected, there are a few steps that can help isolate or resolve the issue.
    First, try booting your computer into safe mode:
    Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
    If the cursor is working normally in safe mode, this usually means OS X is fine, and the issue is caused by conflicting software in your user account.
    Next, see if Finder behaves normally in a new user account. The steps in this article also apply to creating a new user in Mavericks:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
    If the issue persists in safe mode and a new user, I would recommend reinstalling Mavericks:
    OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X

    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • My macbook pro has been freezing up randomly and barcode looking lines go all across the screen. Does anyone know if Apple had a recall on a 2012 model macbook pro that would explain any of this?

    Does anyone know what I can do about this? I'm pretty certain that I didn't do anything wrong, and I already got it checked for viruses and it is not that.
    Thank you so much,
    ~Poor college kid trying to get by.

    Hard to say, you'd have to shop around. Check first with authorized service providers - https://locate.apple.com/au/en/#
    If they're not authorized, make sure they give a warranty on the repair and hopefully have some good reviews on Google/Yelp etc.
    Also make sure you test it when you get it back, it's common for the replacements to fail unfortunately (from Apple at least, probably anywhere).

  • My ipod has two thin black lines running across the screen. What causes this, and is there a fix?

    Suddenly, my Classic ipod got two narrow, black lines runnings horizontally across the screen.  Will thes eventually go away or is the screen damaged?
    Thanks!

    You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • W530 horizonal lines dance across the screen

    Hello all! I just got my new w530 and it seems pretty darn awesome. Only problem is, upon first boot I noticed horizontal streaks that danced across the screen. Called tech support and they told me it was a software issue and that I should try restarting in safe mode. The problem didn't persist in safe more. Taking their further advice to reinstall windows, I did. I saw no lines untill I finished installing all the drivers and rebooted. Below are some photographs I took as screen capture didn't work for this. I would love to get this working, any help, any experiences would be great. Thanks much! Here are my specs:

  • I need to cancel a line that is no longer used but I'm told that, since I transferred an upgrade from the unused line, the contract on the unused line was extended by two years.  If I need to cancel both to get out of this, so be it but I'd rather not and

    I'm paying for 2 smartphone lines when only one is in use.  It's a waste of money that I can no longer afford.  I would like for someone to present me with options or I will have to seek an alternate service provider.

    Ok so now there are presumptions of both my ignorance and my dishonesty.  This has become the most surreal conversation I've had in some time.  I've been a VZW customer for over 10 years and no, this is not something I've ever done before.  In the past, if I wanted a new phone before my 2-year deal was up, I paid full price for the phone and kept living.  That's how the system works, right?  In this instance, I had two lines on my account, each with different contract end dates.  The secondary account was 6 months out-of-contract and unused but, for personal reasons, I kept the line in force.  The person who used the account setup another account with VZW with another phone.  But I kept the line active, just in case.
    In the meantime, when reviewing my account online, I noticed an option on the secondary account of "Transfer upgrade".  Given my understanding of the definition of the word "transfer" as well as my previous dealings with VZW phone upgrades, it seemed logical that, since both phones were under the same master account, the upgrade with its requisite contract extension would apply to the line that actually used the upgrade eligibility.  It was therefore, my expectation that the primary line would either have two years tacked on to its current end date or, at the very least the contract end date for the primary line would be 2 years out from the date the upgrade was exercised.  Both options were acceptable to me since, at that point, I was not considering the termination of my relationship with VZW.  I knew I needed a phone with more battery life than the one I had and carrying one of those battery charge packs around wouldn't work for me.  So, I clicked the transfer upgrade button on the secondary account.  I then saw the primary account show as eligible for an upgrade.  At that point, I upgraded the phone on the primary account.  There was no point where I was notified of a 2 year extension on the secondary account and, once I clicked the "Transfer upgrade" link, there was no mention of or reference to the secondary account.
    I'm not sure of who I'm replying to or where they are from so I cannot speak to the people they encounter on a day to day basis.  I have not stated nor do I have any desire to get away with a free early upgrade.  It should be noted that we are discussing a discounted upgrade, not a free phone.  I still paid $150 for the phone and was happy to do it.  However, this idea that I'm trying to circumvent the system is offensive.  I'm not trying to get away with anything.  As I've said in previous posts, I expected to burn discounted upgrade eligibility on the primary line for a minimum of 2 years.  I actually expected the new contract end date to be 3 years away, which would have been more than fair for all concerned.  Fairness, it seems, is running in short supply.
    If all you have to say is that I'm stupid, ignorant, or dishonest, please don't bother to reply.  If you can in some way help to bring this to a satisfactory resolution, I'm all ears.  Can you hear me now?  Good.
