Transformed Text isn't transformed in the movie
I've got some text that I generated in Flash and used the
free transform to skew the text a little. It looks correct on the
workspace, but when I play the movie the text is no longer skewed.
I've had this happen before and got around it by doing the text in
Photoshop and then just bringing it in. It would be nice to just do
it correctly in Flash.
NedWebs,
Once again, I bow in the presence of a
Master :)
Why does the text have to be broken like that? It doesn't
need to if I do it in Photoshop (being from the same parent
company). I found several tutorials on Google about skewing text
and none of them said anything about breaking the text.
I guess there is no substitute for good ol-fashioned know
how!
Thanks again,

Adjusting Text Height and Width using the Move Tool...
I have yet another question about using Type in PSE 5.0. I know you can adjust a particular types size by using the font drop down menu and clicking on any of the listed sizes or you can type in a custom size as well.
Is it though, ok to expand the Type/Text by selecting it with the Move tool and then enlarging it by using the selection handles located on the Box surrounding the text? I know you can do this, but I am wondering if you run the risk of creating a jagged look or pixalizing the text this way. The text is still vector based at this point, so I am thinking that it shouldn't be a problem, but wanted to know if it could look pixaly upon printing. I have found that I can sometimes get the text to look more the way I want using this method rather than just relying on changing the font size.
Thanks,
LeeI believe you can achieve this by using the Move Tool, clicking on any one of the resizing handles surrounding the Box which the Move Tool creates when you select an object using it, and then just drag the resizing handles to expand your text to your liking.
If you press on a corner handle and press the shift-key at the same time while you drag, you should maintain the aspect ratio of your text.
But that's what my original question is above. By expanding or contracting the text in this way, are you running the risk of things looking jagged and/or pixaly. Is it okay to expand/contract text using the Move Tool or you should you only adjust by setting the Font size.

I created a movie w/ no theme and added my raw footage to it. I edited and was ready to export but wouldn't let me share the file. When I tried to export to a file, in the "Theater" view the progress bar stayed empty and there were no files created in the target folder.
I closed iMovie (since it should auto-save my work) to try again and when I re-opened iMovie (took a couple tries, as it froze the first time I opened it) there was no movie. No trace of any of the work I had done, other than the raw imported footage.
Two questions:
1) Why isn't iMovie autosaving the movie?
2) Why wasn't I able to export it?What exactly is the error you get?
How are you attempting this copy?
There's almost certainly a way to accomplish what you want to do (probably best from the terminal possibly copying the entire user dir and fixing up permissions, etc.) but I'm not sure you will end up with the results you want. There are plists in the preferences dir that you probably don't want to copy over (e.g., many of the com.apple.* prefererences). And many apps also create more than just plists. There may be stuff in Application Support, LaunchAgents, Internet Plug-Ins, etc.). And this would be stuff you do want to copy. Bottom line is it is not a trivial exercise which is probably why the system is slapping your hands for even attempting it -
Having trouble suddenly with the Move tool creating a bounding box that wont let me release it by any means. It remains there no matter what, and now I'm having trouble using the Paste Into command.
Are you trying to move a background layer by any chance or a layer that is partially locked?? If you have show bounding checked in the option bar you should see the bounding box.

If the movie (copy or original) is in your iTunes library then it should not be deleted from your iPod next time you sync.

Transformation - Rotate only moves path, not selected pixels.
Hi All,
I must be missing some simple click somewhere.... Just starting out with the Pen tool, paths and converting into a selection.
Trying to transform a converted selection pixels made from a path.
Current layer is visible and selected. Current path is selected. I use the path-selection tool to pick the path. I do "make selection" which turns pixels into a selection. So far, so good.
After going to Edit | Transform Path | Rotate, the bounding box is displayed. I drag the corner and the bounding box turns along with the path I made. The selection does not move at all. When I hit the 'commit' button, no pixels are moved. Nothing changes in the picture.
If I do all the above in an untouched fresh .psd file with just a background layer and a layer 1 included, everything works. Whatever is selected rotates fine.
Why would a Transform Path | Rotate work fine in one photo, but not in another?
I'm sure it's something simple. Thanks in advance.OK, found the solution in another forums.adobe.com post.... but it's non-intuitive.
The "transform path" menu option instead of "transform" being displayed may have something to do with having multiple paths for an image. Not really sure. It's just a hunch.

Ah with you now.
With the selection on screen click on the Move tool. Then check the "Show transform tools"box at the top of the screen. After that transform away...
I hope this helps

My "pictures" in the movie have text-I want them to scroll slowly from upside to downside-
My "pictures" in the movie have text…
I want the pictures slowly scroll over from upside to downside
so that one is able to read the text.
I made this happen before in an other I movie project, but I don't remember HOW!!!!
Who is able to help?AppleMan1958 and Klaus;
Your information wasn't usefull untill now; I understand what you meant to say. But this isn't the problem.
Perhaps you can help me anyway:
Here you see one of my dia's (it's an example, the most have a picture and text together)…
perhaps you'll understand the problem now:
the picture/dia in itself has text.
When I made the Dutch version I succeeded to make the pictures scroll slowly from the upside untill the downside of the image, so that anyone is able to read the whole text.
Now I'm preparing to publish the English version but I completely have forgotten HOW to get the pictures/dias scrolling down slowly in the same way.
In my present movie they fade away or come to me from the centre of the images/pictures and in that way one can't read the text.
I remember it was really simple to change it…but…I really can't find it back…
I sincerily hope you will be able (even with a big smile, because I must be a dummy ) to help me!!!!! -
How are transforms in the transform panel applied?
I am trying to understand when/how the transforms made in the transform panel are applied to display objects so that I can manipulate them using action script. To be clear, I understand that I can use the display object properties such as rotation to transform a display object, and I understand that I can also use a matrix transformation. Unfortunatley, this doesn't always seem to have the same behavior when nesting as direct transformations using the panel. So I would like to find a way to manipulate whatever properties the transform panel is changing.
Maybe this isn't clear, so here's an example.
On a new stage, I place a rectangle and use the transform panel to rotate it 39 degrees. Then I assign this shape to a variable and use the debug panel to inspect the member properties of the shape. As far as I can tell, this rotation value is not contained within any of the transformation parameters. Is it pre-applied?
If I use the "export as XML" option, the rotation value is listed in the "Source" tag, as below:
<Motion duration="1" xmlns="fl.motion.*" xmlns:geom="flash.geom.*" xmlns:filters="flash.filters.*">
<source>
<Source frameRate="24" x="265" y="184.5" scaleX="1" scaleY="1" rotation="39" elementType="drawing object">
<dimensions>
<geom:Rectangle left="111.35" top="35.1" width="307.25" height="298.85"/>
</dimensions>
<transformationPoint>
<geom:Point x="0.5000813669650123" y="0.5099548268362054"/>
</transformationPoint>
</Source>
</source>
<Keyframe index="0"/>
</Motion>
So this is being stored as a value somewhere. Any ideas?
Thanks - Andrewif you're mixing actionscript with something drawn in the ide, you must be converting your drawing into an object (in order to reference it with actionscipt). whatever you convert to an object will assume mostly default properties (no matter what you see on-stage). the x and y properties are an exception.

SQL DM - Data Transformation and Data Movement option ?
SQL DM - Data Transformation and Data Movement option ?
I am using SQL DM 3.0.0.665. I need your thoughts on following.
We find that Erwin introduced Data Transformation and Data Movement functionality to support ETL need. We were able to generate ETL spec using this feature.
Does SQL DM have any plan to introduce such features?
How do we use the current SQL DM to build ETL spec ?
Thanks in helping us out.Hello,
I am currently experimenting with SQL Data Modeler to produce high level solution designs and ETL specifications.
Have not completed what I am doing but so far have come up with the following:
Current assumption I am working on:
All objects specified within the SQL Data Modeler will export to the Reporting Schema tables set up in an Oracle database. Once the data is within these tables then it will be a simple task to develop a SQL report to extract the data in any format required.
1) There is nothing in the physical (Relational) Model section that supports this
- though I have yet to fully use the Dimensional Modelling functionality which may have the mapping functionality required to specify an ETL
2) We need diagrams of the processes as well as the ETL mapping
- Process modelling is available in the Logical
- Reverse Engineer all Physical objects to become Logical object i.e. one Table to one Entity
- For each Entity set up an Information Structure
(Currently this can only be done in a convoluted method via creating a diagram, creating a Flow and editing the Flow then drilling down)
MESSAGE to SQL Data Modeler Support: Can things be set up so that Information Structures can be set up directly from the Browser, current method is a bit nonsensical
- You are now set up to use the Logical Process Modeling functionality to capture the ETL requirements
- Advise that you reference the training to understand what primitive, composite and transformation processes objects are
- Also, take the time to understand what an external agent object is
- Will assume you know what a Data Store is
Here is the standard I am heading towards that seems feasible, will need to run a proof of concept within the larger team to ensure it works though:
- A Logical is kept that is a one for one with the Physical
(The only reason for this is that there is no process modeling functionality for the Physical objects
MESSAGE to SQL Data Modeler Support: Can you duplicate the Process Modeling for the Logical to be available for the Physical objects too, would be a great help to specify ETL jobs.
- An External Agent is used to represent an external source e.g. Billing application
- A primitive process is used to represent the high Level design
- A composite process is used to specify processes which can be further broken down to ETL jobs
- A transformation process is used to represent an ETL job
Within a Transformation process you can specify the mapping from multiple sources to a target table
There are some negatives to this approach:
- You lose the physical schemas the tables are part of, though a naming convention will get round this
- You need to maintain a logical that is one for one with the physical, this is not a big overhead
However, as I have stated in my message to the SQL Data Modeler support team, would all be resolved if the Process Modeling functionality were also made available within the Physical objects environment.
Please note that we have not as yet adopted the above approach and are still assessing is SQL Data Modeler will meet this requirement to our satisfaction. The critical bit will be if the data exports to the Reporting Schema, if it does then we have plenty of SQL resource that can produce the reports required procided the data can be captured.
Hope that all helps.
Also, hope I have not missed the point of your email.
Kind regards,

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files, the error message is "could not be opened". The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted?
Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files. -
Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes per response to my previous question. Why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just downloaded? I assume that's the only way to access movies on the cloud. ( My computer shows the icon.)
What are you trying to do? If the movie is on your iPad, the cloud icon will not appear next to the movie. You will see the cloud icon next to the movie if you delete it from your iPad and then you can download it again. That is assuming that the movie is eligible for a free download as not every movie can be downloaded again for free.
This is a screenshot of the purchased tab in iTunes on my iPad. These movies are already on my iPad so there is no cloud icon next to them for another download.
What I don't understand is for what reason are you trying to access the movie? If you want to watch the movie, it is in the videos app. Maybe that is where I am missing the boat. -

In Data Quality transform please explain Associate transform with the help of any example.
In Data Quality transform please explain Associate transform with the help of any example.
Hi Neha,
If we are using multiple match transforms and consolidate the final output we will use associate transform .
Let me explain with one example based on data quality blue prints for USA .
We have customer/vendor data . We need to find the duplicates .
1. First we will find the duplicates on Name and Address
2. Second we will find the duplicates on Name and Email
3. Third we will find the duplicates on Name and Phone
Here why we need to find the duplicates in multiple stages . If we are finding the duplicates on combination of Name, Address, Email and Phone we may not get proper duplicates as we are finding the potential duplicates . That's why we are finding the duplicates on different combinations .
In this case we will get the different group numbers for each match combination . Each combination name is there .
We want to consolidate and give the group number to the whole set of duplicates . We will pass these 3 match groups to associative transform and generate the consolidated match group for the input data.
I hope you understand the concept .
Thanks & Regards,
Ramana. -
