Text slide horizontal and blinking

Hello:
Can you give some samples of two effects for text:
1.- move text horizontally
2.- make blink the text (moving or not).
Many thanks to all.

Attach this behavior to the text sprite:
property thisSprite, howFar
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
end
on getPropertyDescriptionList
myPropList = [:]
myPropList.addProp(#howFar,[#comment:"select the number of
pixels to
move:",#format:#integer,#range:[#min:-10,#max:10],#default:3])
return myPropList
end
on exitFrame me
sprite(thisSprite).locH = sprite(thisSprite).locH + howFar
sprite(thisSprite).visible = not sprite(thisSprite).visible
end

  • BUG: iPhoto 9 Slideshow - Text Slide Bugs and iPhoto Library Corruption

    I was wondering if anyone else has run into the following issues:
    I have had multiple issues with iPhoto crashing, stop responding, and database corruption where I cannot open iPhoto. These issues all began when I tried to use the new themed slideshow in iPhoto v9.1. Previously, I had only used iPhoto to create basic slideshows with iPhoto v7.x. I was hoping that I would be able to create my masterpiece in iPhoto 11 (v9.1) but I have only been frustrated by my attempts so far.
    What should have been a 3 - 4 hour operation has become a 20 hour nightmare and I still don't have a slideshow to show for my efforts. This has been one of my most disappointing uses of Apple software ever.
    Repeatable, reproducible bugs that I have run into include:
    1. Deleting a photo that appears in the timeline before a sub-title causes havoc with subsequent sub-titles (a.k.a. Text Slides). Subsequent subtitles are randomly copied to pictures following the one it was assigned to. Further, there is no subtitle icon in the timeline and the photos have to be manually modified to eliminate the subtitle. Work around is click the "Text Slide" button
    2. Zooming and/or image placement is not preserved and not visible when previewed, exported, or iPhoto is closed and then reopened.
    3. The iPhoto Library becomes corrupt and permissions problems prevent me from working with my photos. This happens while working on slideshow. I have had to rebuild my library and repair permissions no less than five times since I started working on my slideshow.

    iPhoto's slideshow feature is fine but no tool for a "masterpiece".
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
    Others, in order of price:
    PhotoPresenter $29
    PhotoToMovie $49.95
    PulpMotion $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express $199
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.
    However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • Center text horizontally and vertically on composition?

    Hello,
    I'm working on a short projects (15 minutes length). Every 30 seconds a title fade in/out against a blank (grey) composition. How do I go about easily centering the text (single word) on the composition both horizontally and vertically? I know I can horizontally center via the paragraphs pallet, but how do I center on the vertical at the same time?
    Right now I'm modifying the Anchor Point of the text so it's in the center (visually) of the text, and then set the Position to the center of the composition, but every time I increase the type size, I have to go through this all over again...and with different titles coming up every 30 seconds or so, a simple text size change turns into a lot of work.
    I can only image there's a better way to do this and would appreciate any advice for an AE newb!
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    It is possible to do this via scripting, but it won't be "live", i.e. you would have to run a script to grab the dimensions of the text layer each time you want to update its vertical alignment.
    It is also possible to roughly align text vertically using expressions given three limitations:
    1) You'll have to be willing to consider the height of the text layer to only extend from the cap height of the first line to the baseline of the last line, meaning descenders and ascenders wouldn't be counted as part of the height of the text layer.
    2) You'll have to manually locate the center of the first line of text.
    3) You'll have to be happy with a consistent point size and line spacing throughout.
    Given those limitations, vertical alignment can be done as follows:
    Add a Position animator to your text layer. Delete the default range selector you won't need it. Next add the Line Spacing property to the newly-created animator (using its "Add" menu). In the Character panel, set your text layer's line spacing to 0 (it will really be set to .01, but the difference shouldn't be noticeable once we're done). In the Line Spacing animator, set the desired line spacing (unfortunately, "Auto" isn't an option).
    Now set your Text layer's anchor point such that it falls in the center of the text's cap height (the height of a capital letter with no ascender or descenders).
    Next, add the following expression to the Position property of the text animator (NOT the Position property of the text layer's Transform group):
    >STA = text.sourceText.split("\r");
    >value - [0, (STA.length-1)*propertyGroup(countUp = 2).property.lineSpacing[1]]/2
    The second line should be all one line, but the forum insists on wrapping it. Be aware that if you later decide to change the point size of the font, you'll need to temporarily disable the text animator and center up the anchor point again.
    You can also use this method to force the text layer to shift up to accommodate new lines by deleting the "/2" at the end of the second line of the expression.

  • Center text in DIV horizontally and vertically.

    I made a simple nav bar at the bottom of a site I am building and had it centered horizontally and vertically.  When I pulled up the page today the text is all the way to the left and I had no problems with it the day before. I have made no changes to the code. I am using IE9, but I have been since I started this site. Everything seems fine in Firefox. If I turn IE9 to compatibility mode it centers horizontally but not vertically. Any ideas?

    The songs that show the "note" were they downloads directly from iTunes? iTunes downloads all have artwork. If not, you will get that 50/50 chance of no album cover art. I had to look up the songs (of the ones I was importing at the time) artwork on "Google". Then I would just add the pic for the artwork myself. No more blanks ("or notes") Just beautiful pics to scroll through....

  • How do you disable text cursor movement when scrolling horizontally with a tilt wheel or touchpad; or rather, how do you make these horizontal scrolling actions only scroll horizontally and nothing else?

    Frequently when I use a touchpad or tilt wheel mouse to scroll horizontally, the web page does not scroll at all. Instead, the text cursor moves left or right. If the text box is off-screen, the page will jump to it, losing the spot on the page I was reading. This happens way too often given the sensitivity of touchpads and tilt wheel mice.
    I'd like to just disable the cursor movement function of the horizontal scroll. I don't feel that it is useful and it actually hurts my web browsing experience. I do not want to disable horizontal scrolling though; I just want it to always scroll horizontally and do nothing else.

    You would make this a little easier if you posted a link to the page.
    Most of the jump seems to be some extra padding or margin between the tabs  when you rollover, but I am not able to find it.  Is there any other css that is governing this page? I did remove a couple of <p></p> set of tags you had  and it improved the jump, but it is still there.
    If the page is live, run it through the validator http://validator.w3.org/ , fix whatever errors it finds, if you still have the jump, post a link to the page and the issue might get found.

  • How can you make your OWN text slides on imovie

    What i mean by this is, is there any other way to make text slides in imovie other than the options they already give you? I want to make my own, i'm not a fan of the ones they give

    You can use Keynote and then use in imovie.
    The trick is to Share from Keynote as a QuickTime movie. Use Timed Advance, not Manual Advance.
    If you are using Green Screen, make a gradient background of two similar shades of green.
    Here is a "green screen" example.

  • How can i make only text slider? Not picture use

    Hi!
    I want to text slider. 1 group 3 items has 5 text group changing fade effects?
    Thank you?

    This should do it ...
    1. Under widgets ... place a Blank Composition widget onto your Muse page
    2. Create a normal text box (however big you want) and fill that with the required text you want shown for your 1st slide
    3. Select the 1st (small thumbnail) box underneath the slideshow ... there's 3 shown by default
    4. Click and drag the text box, you created, onto the Blank Composition widget ... you will notice the widget box will give a BLUE outline ... this is showing you that you are adding the text box to the Blank Composition widget ...
    5. Center or place your text box accordingly ... change your Font, colours, formatting, etc to the way you want it
    6. Repeat this for however many text slides you need ... but select a different thumbnail box for each slide ... to add more than the 3 boxes shown just click the little '+' sign next to the thumnail boxes
    7. Under the properties panel for the Blank Composition (you know that small Blue circle and white arrow icon?) select Fading under Transistions
    8. Preview and edit your slide show accordingly
    That should be it ... you can add most things in the compositon widgets ... I actually use the TEXT option to show testimonials ...

    my ipad won"t turn off. there is a small window with an email text in it and it appears frozen on the screen. How can i turn the ipad off?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • OFFICEJET PRO 8600 PLUS HAS POOR QUALITY, BLACK TEXT HAS HORIZONTAL LINES & FADING

    I have a Officejet Pro 8600 Plus which is a few months old. It gets light use although I'm a graphic designer working from home.
    The problem just started with a very poor print quality.  The black text fades in and out, has horizontal lines through it.  The color text also has horizontal print qualities.
    I replaced all of the color ink cartridges, the black is mostly full.
    I have repeatedly run the Align Printhead and Clean Printhead functions on the printer with no improvement. 
    What can I do at this point?  I need the printer function very soon.
    I'm on a Mac OS 10.7.5

    Hello Brembo50,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Regarding the Officejet pro 8600 not printing a clean crisp black text, the steps you have done are very good attempts to resolve.
    When you printed the cleaning, did the characters print clean and crisp? It should look like this:
    Please excuse the blurry image and colors should be on the bottom of the page, how ever the above should give you an idea of what it should look like.
    Performing the steps in this HP document: Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems should help. It will have you doing steps you have done already, I recommend doing the steps but you could skip the steps you have done already.
    Let me know how things look now,

  • Non editable text slides in iPhoto 11? (v9.4.2)

    I can't seem to add second or subsequent text slides to an iPhoto slideshow. It's not that the button doesn't work. It creates the slide in the correct sequence location however I'm unable to edit the text from the default 'Subtitle Text Here' - Is this a bug?

    Yes, I can select all of the text or just a portion of it. When I highlight the text and then start typing to edit ithe text then nothing happens.
    I've tried changing the font, the normal copy past shortcuts, reducing the number of slides (thinking it was a memory issue), duplicating the slide (which only duplicates the background image).
    Rather than waste too much time a simple work around was to simply create new 'text' slides in Photoshop and to have these appear in the slide show.
    I think it must be a bug however as one of the things I just tested resolves the problem. If I disconnect the secondary Apple Thunderbolt Display and then edit the text slide viewing it on the 15-inch built in screen of the MacBookPro it works as designed. I think it's possibly related to Thunderbolt (but not related to the Apple Extended USB keyboard which is plugged into the Thunderbolt display since using the keyboard on the Mac didn't work either).
    Thanks for the help.
