Simultaneous Animation?

Is it possible within a UIKit animation block (not using Core Animation layers) to perform two simultaneous animations/transformations?
For example, I would like to have an image view increase in size (scale) while at the same time spinning (rotate) e.g. like a spinning newspaper zooming out from the center of a screen. I know you can nest animation blocks, and within each block you can do a transformation but aren't those animations are performed in a linear fashion (scale, then rotate, instead of scale and rotate)?
Thanks for any tips on how to do this.

Well what I have done is made an implicit animation + explicit animation, but you should be able to add as many explicit animations to a layer as you want. Just declare them all and then add the animations to the layer, they should all happen at the same time. There's also an object called CAAnimationGroup which might be of interest to you

Playing simultaneous animations when clicking on a button

Hello,
Does anyone knows how to make two animations on the timeline in edge animate play simultaneously when i click on a button ?
I have a button in my menu, when i click on it i need to play to animations from the timeline.
Thanks for helping me.

hey Vincent,
Try adding the animation to a symbols and playing the symbols. When you make these symbols have auto play un-ticked as the animation will play automatically from the start of the main timeline otherwise. Then on your button you can access the symbols by add code:
sym.getSymbol("symbolname1").play();
sym.getSymbol("symbolname2").play();
If you don't want to put the code in yourself use the auto coder and you go playback/play/stage/symbolname1
The play works the same as if it was on the main timeline so you can play from a label, time on the timeline or just leave play() to play from the beginning of the symbol.
Hope this helps

Simultaneous animations: planets orbiting sun

Hey all,
I'm trying to create two animations in keynote and failing to get them right.
The first is a central circle with dots (like planets) 'orbiting' around it from different angles. I can get the movement ok but I can't a) get all the dots to move on their individual orbits at once (they only move after each successive build) and b) get the animation to loop.
The second is a box with dots inside each circling around an axis outside of themselves. Again same problem. I can't get them to move all at the same time.
Do I need to do this in a different app and import it in or can I do it directly in keynote.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You could do it as suggested in other reply, with code, or
you could do it with
simple masking and motion tween. Old but still valid tutorial

Simple question about 2 simultaneous animations

Hi all, I'm a newbie in Flash and I have to do some work to
school.
I have one animation that I want to run in loop, and this
animation is the stage for another animation that is not in loop.
So, how can I do an looping animation to be the stage/background of
another animation.
Thank you in advance.
Ricardo.

Ricardo,
> So, how can I do an looping animation to be the

Put the looping animation inside a movie clip symbol. Movie
clips have
their own timelines, and theirs are independent from the main
timeline. In
this way, your movie clip animation can loop while the main
timeline does
not.

Animation in FXD file - How to start several timelines simultaneously

I have a slide show of different FXZ files. Each with it's own animations defined in the contained FXD file.
As each FXD file contains different animations for different object and what not, how can I simply trigger all animations to execute at once?
So far I am using:
var action = fxdContent.getObject("moveCircle") as Timeline;
action.play();But say for example, I have three animations in my FXD -> "moveCircle", "moveSquare", "moveLine" how can I initiate them all at once?
Thanks.

If you want to start several parallel transitions simultaneously, you should use the class javafx.animation.transition.ParallelTransition to do it. It can be defined either in directly in FXD content
FXD {
        actions: [
            ParallelTransition {
                id: "main"
                content: [
                    Timeline {
                        id: "animation1"
                        repeatCount: 1
                        autoReverse: false
                        keyFrames: [
                            KeyFrame {
                                time: 3000
                                values: [ KeyValue { target: #rect.x value: 40} ]
                    Timeline {
                        id: "animation2"
                        repeatCount: 1
                        autoReverse: false
                        keyFrames: [
                            KeyFrame {
                                time: 3000
                                values: [ KeyValue { target: #rect1.y value: 200} ]
     content: [
            Rectangle {
                id: "rect"
                x: 10
                y: 11
                width: 40
                height: 40
                fill: Color.RED
            Rectangle {
                id: "rect1"
                x: 50
                y: 50
                width: 40
                height: 40
                fill: Color.GREEN
}or can be in the JavaFX Script code, for example
var main = ParallelTransition {
        content: [
           fxdContent.getObject("moveCircle") as Timeline,
           fxdContent.getObject("moveSquare") as Timeline,
           fxdContent.getObject("moveLine") as Timeline
    }the parallel transition is then simply started by the play() method.

Mulitiple, independent animations in a single file

It seems from all the adobe help files i read, this is
possible, but i can't figure out how to do it. More specifically, i
want to know how i can control multiple images (animations) in
sequence within a single gif (say, a banner, for instance).
eg: say i have three items in the gif. the first one i want
to slide left, then i want the 2nd item to fade in AFTER the first
is done, then i want the third to rotate after the 2nd is finished,
then finally, have the 2nd item fade back out. is something like
this even possible in FW8?
i've been screwing around for hours trying to get objects to
animate independently and/or sequentially from each other, but
can't figure it out. they all keep animating simultaneously.
i have the FW8 training from the source book, but it only
scratches at the surface of animation. can anyone explain how to do
this or recommend a good, deep book or website on FW8? i was
shocked at how there are almost no books on FW out there, at least
where i looked.

Yes.

You need to start them on different frames. Let's say you
have an image
you want to fade out. You convert it to a symbol, and set it
to rotate
clockwise and fade out. As that symbol fades out, you want
another
symbol to fade in. In the Frames panel, click through the
frames of the
animation until you find the one in which the first symbol is
about
halfway through its fade sequence. Create the second symbol,
the one
that fades in, on that frame.

How to sync two different Edge Animation's on a website?

Hello everybody,
I've made 2 animations on a Website and I want to synchronise these.
The 2 animations have to start simultaneously.
But the animation which loaded its content starts first and then the other.
The difference now is noticable and will be more on slower internet-connections.
How can I achive this in Edge Animate, or do I need Java-Script in my ".html"-file?
(Hope not because I can't script )
Thx

Hi Hemanth,
thank you for your reply.
I imported the animations on 2 different locations like this:
<div id="content">
              <div id="teaser">
                        <div id="samsung">
                          <object id="EdgeID" type="text/html" width="169" height="420" data-dw-widget="Edge" data="edgeanimate_assets/samsung/Assets/samsung.html">
                          </object>
                  </div>
                  <div id="text">
                  </div>
                  <div id="apple">
            <object id="EdgeID2" type="text/html" width="151" height="368" data-dw-widget="Edge" data="edgeanimate_assets/iphone/Assets/iphone.html">
            </object>
          </div>
              </div>
</div>
From here the post is edited, because I tried it without the <object> tag, used the "bootstrapCallback and included the 2 animations with all necessary files.
Unfortunately now my head-area explodes with java scripts.
I changed my file like this (head-area):
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="assets/iphone_edgePreload.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="assets/samsung_edgePreload.js"></script>
<style>
          .edgeLoad-EDGE-109535821 { visibility:hidden; }
          .edgeLoad-EDGE-141942318 { visibility:hidden; }
          #Stage { visibility:hidden;}
</style>
<script>
var countComps = 0;
AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback(function(compId) {
          countComps = countComps + 1;
                    if (countComps == 2) {
                              comp2 = AdobeEdge.getComposition(compId).getStage();
                              $("#Stage").css('visibility', 'visible');
                              comp1.play(0);
                              comp2.play(0);
                    else {
                    comp1 = AdobeEdge.getComposition(compId).getStage();
</script>
... and in the body:
<div id="content">
     <div id="teaser">
          <div id="samsung">
               <div id="Stage" class="EDGE-109535821"></div>
          </div>
         <div id="text"></div>
         <div id="apple">
                <div id="Stage" class="EDGE-141942318"></div>
         </div>
      </div>
</div>

Is it possible to mix animation methods?

I had originally begun my project using the javax.swing.Timer animation loop documented at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/painting/animLoop.html. My game has different difficulty levels--the higher the difficulty, the shorter the delay--and I had been setting this timer based on the difficulty level. However, I also want to have a custom time keeper (not to be confused with the other Timer classes) which keeps track of how much time the player has left to make a move. I want to display a panel that updates every 80 milliseconds or so, showing a horizontal bar that represents the amount of time left (this bar would shrink over time).
Because the time keeper is independent of the original Timer loop, I tried making the time keeper its own Runnable JPanel and wrapping a thread around it. (Examples for this method can be found at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/applet/practical/threadExample.html among others.) This resulted in both the javax.swing.Timer (which is event-based, but must surely use an internal Thread implementation) and the new time keeper Thread being run simultaneously. It almost works... I can see the time keeper update and i can see the player move around the board in the animation loop, however it seems that somehow the player's movements are drawn in both the main board JPanel and the time keeper JPanel. This is naturally impossible, as a Component can only belong to one Container at a time.
So naturally something seems amiss.
Do I have to rely on only one method of animation? If so, which would you recommend? Is there another time keeper class I can use (sort of like a reverse progress bar) which can update itself independently of the animation loop? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

i thought i'd throw a log on the fire and bump this up, see if anybody can take another crack at it.

Questions regarding using the .monitor command to retur a animated image and we would like feedback to a designed webpage that is monitoring a 5kW windturbine:)

I'm embedding a front panel image in an existing HTML dokument. I would like to use the command .monitor in the URL together with the refresh command so the VI automatic will reload every 20 secund. This actual work, but simultaneous I want to have the possibility to refresh manually so I don't have to wait 20 sec before new values is shown in the display. Is this possible to do?
Another question: Since the real time display updates 1-2 times a secund the command .monitor is used to get a animated picture of the Real Time Display.
There are several ways to add animation on to web pages. The techniques used h
ere are the �server push� and �client pull�which makes the browser repeatedly reloads a changing inline image to provide crude animated sequences. This is not the most efficient way as this result�s in an image being re-transmitted for each frame of the animation. The command .monitor with the attribute refresh and lifespan in the URL trigger this �server push� and �client pull� techniques.
I use this automatic refresh uploading of the display so that it each time shows different values, is this called crude animation?Then I'm wondering what I'm suppose to use the command lifespan to?I can't see the use of it in my display.....?
link to the webpage so you can have a look at the display:
http://134.7.139.176/.monitor?Real%20Time%20Performance.vi&refresh=20
This is a project that I'm working together with another Norwegian friend. WE are very happy for feedback on our web page and displays go to: http://www.ece.curtin.edu.au/~peersena/ if you would like to view itThanks

Annis,
One of the other things to keep in mind is that the generation of an image does take some computing power so having the generation and the acquistion on the same machine is not always ideal. If you're using the machine that is publishing the front panel just to collect data it's not so much of an issue.
If you really want to monitor in "Real-Time" using Remote Panels (requies LabVIEW 6.1) is your best option. This posting has more information on using Remote Panels and links to some live examples:
http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000C0660000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_TIER_0=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_TIER_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=web+control&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0
Remote panels makes it possible to control the application remotely as well.
With .monitor the only way I've been able to manually refresh is to "Shift+Refresh" on the browser.

Kamran

How do I lighten up an animated gif?

I am attempting to lighten up (brighten) all frames of an animated gif in Photoshop CS5. I can achieve the desired result in frame 1 but I can't figure out how to simultaneously apply the exact same adjustments to all the remaining frames (layers). Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

Thanks for your response.
I selected all layers (frames) of the gif and then adjusted Image>Adjustments>Levels. The image in the workspace is the first frame of the gif and it accepts the adjustments just fine but the remaining frames remain unchanged. How do I apply these Level change effects to the remaining frames? And how do I ensure that I am in RGB color mode, or switch to it if necessary?
Thanks again for your help.

Using two displays simultaneously on an early intel mac mini

I would like to connect my Apple display and an LCD TV to my early Intel Mac Mini using a DVI-D splitter and DVI-D cable to the DVI input on the TV. I don't know if this Mac Mini's video card has a single or a duel DVI output. I'm assuming it has to have a duel output to be able to have both displays on at the same time. Also, from what I've read previously in the discussions, I assume I'll have hook up the audio output also, assuming the video works. Thanks for any help.

I'm pretty sure that can't work for a variety of reasons. Primarily the DVI output on the mini has a single digital output, not two. It has been shown that it can output VGA analog and DVI digital simultaneously when booted under Windows, but the OS X driver for the GMA950 does not support that same trick. So I don't think you are going to be able to do what you want unless you run Windows.
You could try add-on hardware if you really have your mind set on this. There are USB-to-video adapters out there on the market. They are reported to work pretty well with the caveat that they can't be used for things like full screen video which requires more bandwidth than USB can supply. But for a mostly static display, like using a mail reader or a browser without too much animation, or a spreadsheet, etc., they work well enough.

Embedding audio and animation into DPS using Edge Animate CC

Hello all,
I'm using all CC programs.
I've created an animation in Edge Animate that I would like to place into my InDesign doc for DPS.
The animations match up with sound file that I've imported into my EA file. I've tried using the buzz.js script (step-by-step as per the video tutorials I saw), but to no avail.
Is there a way to place/embed the animation along with the sound for DPS?
The animation will need to be simultaneously activated by the user to play.
Thank you very much in advanced for your help—hopefully there is a solution or some sort of work-around!
lv

Would you be able to supply a link to your past messages? I'm not sure what messages you're talking about.
Also, I do not need an audio over an audio—just one that plays while an animation plays.
Would that be the same concept?
Thank you.

Animating in movie clips

I have 6 movie clip symbols on my timeline and each movie clip symbol has a short animation contained within itself. When I bring it to the timeline, they all animate simultaneously. I want them play sequentially but when I play them in on different layers in different keyframes it doesn't work.
Any idea how to make this work?
Thanks!

Pretty much anything is possible, just need to get the intentions straight. The answer to my question would seem to be that you want only one showing at any time. How you go about coding this depends on which version of actionscript you're using, but here's the general plan for one approach...
In the last frame of each animation except the last one, add code telling the parent timeline to move to the next frame...
In AS2 that could be: _parent.nextFrame();
In AS3 that could be: MovieClip(parent.nextFrame();
Then place each moivelcip on the main timeline, one frame after the other.

Button to play 4 symbols glitchy- plays IN simultaneously, plays OUT sequentially. Why?

I have 4 symbols, each simply a variant in the color and text. All 4 symbols are built on the same animation, but are independent symbols. Each symbol itself is composed of 3-4 symbols. I have combined these 4 into a master symbol. I have created a menu symbol to control the master symbol (e.g. the 4 variants). These 4 variants are identically built and should behave in tandem.
Simple show/hideing works in tandem, no problem. Simultaneously playing IN the timelines of the 4 symbols in works. Unfortunately, each play OUT sequentially. Therefore, I must click 4x to play OUT the 4 variants. (playReverse)
Sometimes it looks like the computer "had no time" to execute all the code, so it skips.
Questions:
Why can't 1 button control the different symbols in parallel?
Does it have to do with playReverse?
Is there a limit on the symbol nesting hierarchy?
In what order/priority does EA execute code?
thx!
p.s. My programming skills are rather basic. I haven't tried anything more sophisticated than show/hide and play/playReverse.

Hey g.bollmann,
this should help:
Why can't 1 button control the different symbols in parallel?
you can, I can see some errors in your code (edge does not have the best debugger tool built in so it may say code is fine when it is not). the best way to test for errors is to see what you have just code work how you want. you can use the alert (); function to help see if code it being triggered to a value is what you want
e.g. banana = 8, so alert (banana); should show 8 but if It does not I know I have done something wrong
Does it have to do with playReverse?
To use playReverse use it like play as it does the same e.g.
Edge uses milliseconds do 2500 = 2.5 seconds. You can play from a label but any trigger will be hit again so you will need to add a bool or something so that the code will not run again in the triggers
Is there a limit on the symbol nesting hierarchy?
Not from what I know I have has 10 within 10 within 4. I would recommend only have around 5 within 5 to 3 deep as you need to know where all the symbols are and what they all do so connecting and running them all can take a long time.
In what order/priority does EA execute code?
From what I have seen from edge it runs code in order, if you have code that does not run then it can be an errors in the code(edge stops running all code in the trigger or click if there is an error in a line). You can use several alerts to see where the errors accurse as the alerts the error will not show.
Use different if statements (have you tested the ones you have? do they work?).
I would use a bool or int if statement as this is easier to keep track of:
In creation compete set the variable;
var variblesname = true; or var variblesname = 1;
you can have as many as these as you like just changed the name
you then set them by
variblesname = the values;
and use them in an if by calling them again
if (variblesname == 8) {
do stuff
else if (variblesname == 9) {
do stuff
else {
do stuff if the other is statements don't work
for your if statements have "else if", if you don't want any other if to play if one of the requirements are met and an else if you want something to happen if none of the "if"'s requirements are met not met
Hope this helps

Best monitor for animation

Hi, I'm working on a big animation project. I'll be doing everything from the concept art to the actual animation, but I need a new monitor. My budget is around $350. At the moment I'm planning to buy the Samsung LS27A350HS. I want a 27" inch monitor for this kind of work, and I was told this was the best for the price range. What are you thoughts? Is there a better monitor I should be looking at? I found a used Dell 2707wfp for $400, but I don't like the idea of not having a warranty.

Producing and creating animations are not the same as roviding technically precise media to outlets. If your color space is out of gamut for a specific delivery media, yoru work will be rejected or it will be modified by someone who does not have your best interests at heart.
You already have what you need, you've just never opened it up!
Synthetic Aperture supplies an app/plugin with After Effects called Color Finesse. Way cool.
The Color Finesse interface is divided into four main windows: the Analysis Window, the Image Window, the Settings Window, and the Color Info Window. Each window has a set of tabs which can be clicked to select panes within that window, with the exception of the Color Info Window, which has no tabs. As you work, you’ll find yourself switching between different panes, depending on the color correction operation you’re performing. Dividing the screen into different windows ensures that you’ll be able to see the information you need as you make color correction adjustments.
The Analysis Window contains a number of displays that are intended to allow you to view the image you are correcting in an objective fashion. Included are traditional displays you would find in the typical telecine bay, including several different styles of waveform monitors and a vectorscope, as well as more specialized displays such as histogram displays and a level curve display. Because it is often useful to see several of these displays simultaneously, Color Finesse also includes a Combo pane which incorporates four displays of your choice on one pane.
