Splash image flickering

Hello
I have create a program that start with a splash image defined in the manifest.mf file with the statement SplashScreen-Image: data/images/splash.jpg.
When i run the program with jre 1.6.0 I see an undesidered flickering of the splash image.Can anyone help me?
thanks

what is the advantage of the native splash over
making one yourself? The spash screen comes up before the JVM and as the app is loading.
I guess its just there to pacify people who think the JVM and App Startup
is too slow. I know people at my job have actually said to me when
running a Java app "why does it load sooo much slower than a VB
app?" when in actuality it came up in an eye blink.
I guess VB apps load in half an eye blink, lol.
Do you have any code that manipulates the java.awt.SplashScreenI thought that because the SS comes up before the JVM (or concurrently
or whatever) that you couldnt control it?

Any suggestions are welcome!

DVD Slideshow Images Flickering

I was a Window user. Now I am a new MAC user. I bought iMac mainly to do slideshows and video. I heard that MAC is great for slideshows and videos. iLife is great. But.. There is always a but. This is a big BUT and I sincerely hope that going to MAC is not a disappointment. Here goes.
The slideshows in iPhoto 08 and iDVD 08 are great but after burning into DVD the images flickers.
Some part of the picture flickers not the whole picture. Even the add on text on the picture flickers.
In Windows I used Ulead Movie Factory, it had the same problem until Ulead implemented Anti Flicker option. Selecting this option makes the DVD pictures perfectly still like viewing your photos on the computer.
Is there an Anti Flicker setting in iDVD or iPhoto?
I am not producing DVD slideshow at the moment until I can find a solution as this flickering thingy is infuriating. A still picture must be still and not flickering on certain part of the picture/image. Railway tracks flickers madly, leaves on a tree flickers, blinds flickers, the face flickers, etc
Please helppppppp. Frustrated. I cannot go back to Windows and I do not want to. I am sure others must have this problem too. I pray that I have done something wrong else there won't be a solution until Apple can fix it. Prayyyy
Thanks. Sorry for being so long winded.

Guys,
I am back. Sorry for taking so long. My wife has been grumbling about me spending so much time on the computer, blah, blah..
Again thank you all for all the suggestions. I have look at Photo to Movie tutorial. It is pretty good but I think Fotomagico is better. Yet to try it. Soon I hope.
As what Howard Topoff said, Ken Burns causes the Flickering and he is correct. I created a slideshow in iPhoto without Kenburns and send to iDVD. There are no flickers what so ever. The quality I got is as per Ulead DVD Movie Factory. Now, at least I am getting the same quality as before. I expect it to be better but hey... It is really a pity as I like Ken Burns a lot.
One thing maybe you guys can explain. iPhoto send to iDVD(not exporting) by creating a QT movie. I dragged the QT movie to Toast which has the option to tell you what type of file it is. Toast reported that the QT movie file is MPEG 4 video, 720x540 AND 13.5 fps. I would expect the fps will be around 25 or 30. Shouldn't iPhoto be sending out as high quality as possible so that iDVD will be able to recode it to suit PAL or NTSC? Unbelievable.
It is silly for iPhoto export option which can only export the biggest is large 640x480 and iDVD will have to recode it to 720 x 576 for PAL TV.
I have started to learn iMovie. iMovie has at least the option to set what QT quality is required when I Export Using Quicktime option. I can set whether it is PAL/NTSC/H.264,etc., frame rate, progressive or interlace, aspect ratio, etc. iPhoto has none of these. Is this an Apple oversight? I am doubtful.
Hey, rightly or wrongly, I am beginning to be a sceptic when it comes to Apple's intentions as those things that are missing are basics that should be part of the software.
Hopefully in a few days time, I can post more, not if my wife can help it. Nag, nag, nag.
F Shippey, PAL is 720 x 576. I will try a few photos by resizing as per your suggestions but first I would like to look at iMovie.
Cheers.

Stop image flickering

I'm trying below script to display image with XML updated status checking.
But image flickering every 2sec.
how can i stop flickering without stop Timer.
var sampleId:Number = 100;
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerListener);
myTimer.start();
function timerListener(e:TimerEvent):void
          trace("Timer is Triggered");
          var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
          myLoader.load(new URLRequest("xmlfile.xml"));
          myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(e:Event):void
          myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
          for (var i:uint=0; i<myXML.*.length(); i++)
                    if (myXML.Message[i].@EventId == sampleId)
                              //trace(myXML.Message[i]);

Image flickering

I'm using a different thread to create an animation in which image moves one pixel at a time after every 80 milliseconds or so.but the image flickers every time it is drawn at new coordinates.
can anybody help me out.
thanks in advance

You aren't using double buffering and overriding update(), are you?
The article http://www.cfxweb.net/article.php?sid=169 might be of interest to you.

In this apk included ALL DW Folder files incluing images (eg splash images) for iOS - non needed act

Following David Powers videos or books, instaling phonegap in dreamweaver site... well, config.xml references many splash screen image files for many platforms, well when build eg a specific binary (when upload with dw cs6 to phonegap) eg apk in this apk included ALL DW Folder files incluing images (eg splash images) for iOS - non needed actually for apk (android)?

I am sorry to have to point out to you that you have changed SpryMenuBasicSkin.css so much that it is impossible to render any assistance.
To start with, the menubar has an ID of MenuBar, yet in the CSS I only see this referenced as a CLASS as in
.MenuBar {
background-color:#cccccc;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on on MenuBar and subMenu MenuItemContainer, so MenuItemContainer,
MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel
at a given level all use same definition for ems.
Note that this means the size is also inherited to child submenus,
so use caution in using relative sizes other than
100% on submenu fonts. */
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 16px;
font-style: normal;
padding:0;
border-color: #ffffff #ffffff #ffffff #ffffff;
border-width:0px;
border-style: none none none none;
I would suggest to start again.
Once you have done that, supply a link to your site and we will assist you further.

Parts of image flickers on photos

Parts of an image flickers on photos after burning dvd. I made a Movie using imovie 08 with 2mp photos. Used ken burns effect. Some vertical and horizontal lines may flicker, e.g. roof tops, railings, etc. Not all photos have this result. Do not notice it when viewing full screen on imovie where I made the movie. Is this the old dot crawl problem or a refresh rate issue? I used pinnacle ultimate on an old pc and did not have this issue on the final dvd product.

That flicker is common with the Ken Burns effect. Importing your photos in with the Ken Burns effect turned on seems to help a bit, but won't totally get rid of it. Usually you notice it more on the iMovie preview playback than on the final product, which, however, does not seem to be your case. I can't recall offhand the tech explanation, but someone on this formum can tell you that.
On the Apple website you can buy Photo to Movie, which is an app that purportedly has a smooth Ken Burns type zooming effect together with a lot of other good slide show effects. Photomaggico is another good plug-in app. Both work well with iMovie.

Flex Mobile Splash Image

Hello,
Is there a way to increase the visual quality of the splash image? Or set size?
How about adding text in adition to the image, like "Loading..."?
Thank you.

Good idea, thanks.
However, I did this differently.
I was having problems with quality even with scaling set to none, the image would get jagged edges etc.
I tried vector formats, but neither FXG or SVG are allowed in 4.5.1.
Luckily, SWF is allowed and I imported the vector graphics to in and it worked.
The SWF can contain no AS or rather any AS in the SWF file will be ignored, but it does work.
And as a bonus, the SWF filesize is 2x smaller than the GIF I was using (now that I think about it, the scaling might have worked better on JPG or PNG files).

Image flickers when repainting

Hello,
I'm trying to make an applet where a line moves sideways as the slider is moved. The code below is working but the image flickers when repainting:
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Scrollbar;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class testSlider extends java.applet.Applet implements AdjustmentListener {
int w, h; // Applet width and height
Scrollbar sb;
boolean scrollChanged = false;
int xUnit, yUnit;
public void init(){
    //field variables initialization
    w = this.getSize().width ;
    h = this.getSize().height ;
    xUnit = (int) Math.round(0.1*w);
    yUnit = (int) Math.round(0.1*h);
    sb = new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL, xUnit, 1, xUnit, 9*xUnit);
    //add Scrollbar
    sb.setBounds(5, 9*yUnit,this.getWidth() -15, 15) ;
    this.setLayout(null);
    this.add(sb);
    sb.addAdjustmentListener(this ) ;
public void paint(Graphics g){
    System.out.println("paint...") ;
    g.setColor(Color.GRAY ) ;
    g.fillRect(0,0,w, h);
    g.setColor(Color.BLACK) ;
    //set new Origin
    g.translate(w/2, 8*yUnit) ;
    if (scrollChanged ) {
      g.setColor(Color.YELLOW ) ;
      g.drawLine(sb.getValue()-w/2, -7*yUnit, sb.getValue()-w/2, 0 );
//AdjustmentListener method override
public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e){
    scrollChanged=true;
    repaint();
Can someone tell me how to prevent this flickering?
Thank you very much.

g.fillRect(0,0,w, h);This needs to modify quite a few pixels so it is going to be on the slow side.
Try this: store the coordinates of the previous line you drew. When repainting, if you have drawn a line previously, first draw the old line with the background color, then draw the new line, and finally store the coordinates of the new line so you can paint over it later.
I haven't tried that myself though.
An alternate is to use double buffering. Google: java double buffering. But that may be slowish and CPU intensive because that too needs to touch a lot of pixels.

Grub splash image

I am using an Arch Linux system with legacy grub. I have configured a boot time splash image which appears when the grub menu comes up when booting but disappears when a selection is made and the OS starts to boot. How can I keep the splash image always on at boot time?
Appreciate any pointers and thanks in advance.
EDIT: Also, I use the "quiet splash loglevel=2" kernel options but I see messages on the console "Starting .... [DONE]" How can I mute these messages?

Thanks. I am installing fbsplash. Meanwhile I have tried to configure plymouth without success. I get the error pasted below when I run mkinitcpio - p kernel26 after installing plymouth (0.8.3) and changing 'HOOKS' line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to include 'plymouth'.
I am on a legacy system which is running 2.6.31-ARCH. I can't upgrade it as there is other proprietary software which will have to be fine tuned.
Appreciate any help/pointers.

What happened to OpenOffice splash image ?

I've created an OpenOffice splash image and it was elected to be the distro splash... As far as I can see, Arch is using the default OpenOffice splash image.. Is there a reason for this change ?

MartinZ wrote:Yeah, i also miss the Arch-splash screen. I understand that too much customization may difficult maintenance, but we also need some personality... i mean, the kernel has an arch logo, kde menu and so on. So everyone that watches our computer knows we're running Arch and not just a random distribution. Anyway, it would be nice to have the OOo arch splash screen back.
I will be putting together artwork-related packages over the next couple of weeks. I will include an OOo splash package that contains the logo mentioned above--it will be optional (e.g. not included with the default OOo package.)

Change splash image at HTML GUI

Hello
How can i change the splash image that its shown calling transaction from enterprise portal??
The url for the image is http://xxxxxx.xxxx.xx:8000/sap/public/icmandir/its/lsgui/images/img/splashscreen.jpg
Thanks.

Hi Julio,
This change is not supported by SAP, recommendation is to use ~nosplash.
The splashscreen source code can be found here: go to SE80: Internet
Service -> System -> Topic SL -> Mime Objects -> Page ->
splashscreen.html
Image itself: Goto SE80: Internet Service -> System -> Topic SL
