Type Shifting/Smearing as Animation progresses in the Timeline when .fla file is reopened.

A simple animation has been created using words as symbols. Each word has it's own movement, coming in from left to right, top to bottom, etc. There are no issues when the file is first created, but on occasion, when the .fla is then reopened (on the computer it was created in, or on a different computer) some of the type, seems to be out of whack. Literally as if, water had dripped on ink on a piece of paper, the type is smeared and smudged, as the timeline progresses. The animated treatment is still kept in place, just the type itself is affected. The smearing/smudging is not consistent every time, it varies from each time the file is reopened. But – sometimes, the file is completely normal.
Thinking it may be a RAM issue, closed all other programs, and gave Flash some more space, but that doesn't seem to completely fix the issue. Here attached is a screenshot of what the .fla looks like. I am working in CS5 on a Mac OS X 10.6.7. I am also using FontExplorer X Pro for font management. The issue doesn't seem to be with this particular font alone– other files with different fonts seem to have the same problem.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I figured it out myself, shortly after I posted this thing. Try to update your Mac OS. I'm on 10.6.8 now, and it seems working to be fine. If it doesn't work I can try to find the article I found that fixed it for me. Hope this helps!

Animation stops in the middle when preview in browser

I have run into a problem where the animation stops in the middle when I preview it in browser, but it is fine when I play it in the program. Please advise how to fix this problem. Thank you very much.

I've had this problem with a purchased song but never a ripped song. I think its an encoding problem with iTunes. One poster suggested converting the song, which kind of tells us that its something to do with the encoding. I can't remember the song that this happened with, some Tom Petty tune. But I do remember this, which is strange, this happened on my Touch but not the iPhone with same song.

How to know the progress of the Sync when I call PullAsync()

Hi,
I am developing a Windows 8.1 app, In that I am using offline data concept using Azure mobile services with JavaScript Backend.
My questions is how can I show the status or progress of the Sync When I call PullAsync() method.... I want to show the number of records sync or how much percentage synced like that...
private async void ButtonPull_Click(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.RoutedEventArgs e)
await todoTable.PullAsync();
//How to know the progress of sync
await RefreshTodoItems();

Hi Narendra,
I suggest you to check this information for more details.
PullAsync() call can either pull all items from the remote table, or just pull a subset of the items. Only pulling some items from the table is often advisable, as stuffing everything from the (potentially large) remote database table into the (restricted by
the device memory) local table may have some bad performance implications. You can pass an OData-formatted query to select which items to pull from the server, or you can also use the (more friendly) Linq expressions to determine the query of items to be pulled.
var localTable = client.GetSyncTable<TodoItem>();
var query = localTable.Where(t => !t.Complete);
await localTable.PullAsync(query);
var localItems =
await localTable
    .Select(i => i.Text)
    .ToListAsync();
AddToDebug("Items from the server (in the local table): {0}",
string.Join(", ",
localItems));
One important thing to notice regarding pull operations – if there are items in the pending synchronization queue, those items are first pushed over to the server, then the pull operation takes place. That prevents a scenario where an update is done to a
local item, but a pull operation would overwrite the changes locally and potentially leave the data in an inconsistent state. That’s one the first synchronization rule: a pull triggers a push. In the example below, the insert operation for the “Buy milk” item
will first be pushed to the server, then the items will be pulled into the local table.
await client.SyncContext.InitializeAsync(store);
AddToDebug("Initialized the sync context");
var localTable = client.GetSyncTable<TodoItem>();
var item =
newTodoItem { Text =
"Buy milk", Complete =
false };
await localTable.InsertAsync(item);
var query = localTable.Where(t => !t.Complete);
await localTable.PullAsync(query);
var localItems =
await localTable
    .Select(i => i.Text)
    .ToListAsync();
AddToDebug("Items from the server (in the local table): {0}",
string.Join(", ",
localItems));
for us to better understand both Push() and pullasync() feature is used while querying from the Database.

Playhead randomly JUMPS to the end of the timeline when "editing" during playback

CS 6.0.1
OSX 10.7.4
I love the new feature in CS6 that lets you edit DURING playback, and playback won't stop. Brilliant.
Now, I use this feature a lot making cuts as I go. I use the "command + shift + k" combo to make an edit to all tracks while the playhead is moving along. It seems though that every so often when I do this, the playhead warps to the end of the timeline. Very frustrating, and when dealing with long timelines,really slows me down, to get back to where I was working.
Also I can repeat this "glitch" very easily, so its not some totally random occurance. Just pushing cmd+shift+k while the playhead is moving a few times repeats it very quickly.
Am I doing something wrong here? Or toggling some OTHER key command inadvertently? Or is this a legit glitch?
EDIT: I would like to add that using the "nudge" command during playback has the same glitch of arbitrarily jumping to the end of the timeline if you click the nudge command quickly in succession.

This issue was NOT resolved by manually installing all cs6 updates that were failing with adobe product manager, then doing a clean installation of the latest drivers from Nvidia's website using the ODE (Optimal Drivers for Enterprise) Graphics Drivers.
The issue came back after editing for a little bit., however this following fix worked:
*FIXED BY ADOBE TECH SUPPORT INDIA*
The solution was to delete all media cache files and all cache settings for the specific project. Check all your cache locations and encoded media file locations.
Rebuild project on load.... edit. Thanks.

Unable to open the document when combining files.

We have a user that gets an error when combining files. It says
Unable to open the document:
<Filename and path>
Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file.
Retry and cancel buttons.
We get this error on every subsequent file, it works on the first one after the computer starts.
This computer has Windows Vista Business with SP2, Adobe Acrobat X with the latest patches.
It doesn't matter if the files are local or on a network drive, the same always occurs. I have cleared
all user and system temporary files, re-installed, verified the Acrobat Add-In for Word 2010 is active,
verifed the PDF printer is working fine. It only happens when trying to combine files. I have given the
user local administrator privilidges, tried with my account that has domain admin priviledges, no luck.
I really need some suggestions...
Thanks,
Tom

I have found out from Adobe technical support that this is a known issue with Office 2010 SP1 installed.
This is an FYI for anyone else experiencing this issue, remove SP1 and it will work ok.
They said an update to correct this issue will be coming within the next quarter.

Activating the Timeline when there are no sequences

I have read everything I can but am stumped. I am familiar with RE 8 but used someone elses computer last week to capture a number of .AVI videos off of betacam tapes.
I am trying the trail version of PR pro ver 5.5. I can import my .avi files to the project panel but cannot get them to go to the Timeline. Double-clicking gets them into the preview panel but that's as far as i can go. The timeline/sequence panel is totally blank with no video or audio track lines showing. Also the icon to automate sending a number of clips tot he Timeline is greyed out. I am sure that I have missed something simple but would appreciate any help.Thanks

Before you can edit you need to make a sequence
Go to File / New / Sequence and choose a setting that matches your footage.
If you do not know which one to choose do this:

No Clips in the Timeline When Project is Opened

I added some clips to the Timeline, edited them together, saved, and closed the project. When I opened it again my clips were still in the Browser, but none of the clips were in the Timeline, even though I saved it before closing. Anyone know why this would happen?
Thanks.

No. Have you tried opening an Auto Save Vault file to see if they have worked.

Why is DVD SP4 creating a corrupt video in the timeline when the corruption does not appear in the imported Quicktime ProRes 422 self contained movie?

I am having a strange issue that just occurred when trying to create a DVD using DVD Studio Pro 4. The workflow is as follows: Import a self contained Quicktime ProRes 422 as an asset into DVDSP 4. Drag the assets onto Track 1 in the Graphical viewer as a First Play item. The video is only corrupted in a section of the timeline, yet when you look at that section in Quicktime the video appears to be ok. Does anyone have an idea why this is happenning?

Thanks for the quick reply Gary. I was wondering why this corruption happenned recently, when I have used this workflow previously without any artifacts for several years. Do you think that something has gotten corrupted in DVDSP?
Do you also recommend using Compressor always to created the files for DVDSP vs. having DVDSP do the encoding?
Thanks

Exporting clips from the timeline as separate files

I captured an entire tape of video and edited out the takes, and now I would like to export individual clips that were already cut with the razor as separate Quicktime files so they can be brought into DVD Studio Pro.
Is there a way to do this other than copying each segment to a separate project and saving that way?

Create a new bin. Make the timeline active, hit command a (or select-all) drag to bin. This should create copies of all the clips in the timeline with the appropriate ins and outs. Do a batch export and make sure "export in to out" is selected.

"Couldn't resolve the reference' when opening file

I am trying to open a WB file that I have copied from another drive. As it looks through the new drive searching for all the media, it keeps giving me this message about not being able to 'resolve the reference' when trying to relink with the media. What causes this and how can I fix it?

If the file doesn't contain Audio data, but merely refers to it (as is quite common & an option you can choose if you don't want to duplicate Audio files), then it needs to know where those Audio data files are. And if you've moved them or deleted them, it won't be able to find them… hence the message. If you know where those files are, you can put them back where they were previously, & that might fix things. Or — simply make a new file.
You may prefer in future to save the files with the audio data included. Of course, you will get a much bigger file, but it will be self-contained & you won't get this problem again.
P.S.: of course, you said it yourself (& I didn't notice at first) — you copied this WB file from another drive. So of course the audio files you want are still on that other drive! Hooray!

When I mouse over a hyperlink on a page in 4.0, I can no longer view the URL address in a narrow horizontal bar at the bottom of the page, nor view the "load progress" of the URL when I click on it ... which I could formerly see in the same narrow bar.

In Firefox 3.6 and previous, I could always view the URL of an embedded hyperlink by mousing over the link and checking a narrow horizontal field at the bottom of the web page. When clicked on, that hyperlink would begin loading the desired page, and I could watch as Firefox logged on to the remote server ... at least to the extent of knowing that the server had been contacted and that the page was loading. It's like "flying blind" now -- I can't view either of those things.

Firefox 4.0b7 eliminated the Status bar, it is replaced by the Add-on bar. When you mouse-over a hyperlink, the URL appears in the Location bar to the right of the current URL in slightly faint type. The page loading indicator is on the left side of the Tab, but it doesn't show the progress as before, only that the page is loading (or not).
You can restore the functions of the old Statusbar with the '''Status4Evar''' extension. The three Statusbar items are in the Customize Palette. <br />

How to see the timeline when animating

My timeline does not appear regardless of what I do.
How come?

This is what you should see when clicking the triangle.
Choose video or frame, this will change what the large button says. Then click the large button.
If the menu does not pop up, then something else is a problem.
Could be:
Video driver needs updating
Photoshop preferences need resetting
Photoshop needs reinstalling

Why does my Keynote size get reformated on the IPad when PPT files do not.

When I import a Keynote presentation in HD format dimensions (1920 x 1080) into my IPad Keynote folder, it reformats the entire presentation to 800 x 600 which defeats the whole purpose. I don't have this issue when I import a PPT presentation in QuickOffice Pro HD. So what's up, all the boasting of being ahead of everyone only to have a critical piece of software behind the times. I wondering if I am missing something and not using the IPad Keynote properly. Please advise.

Your css link is looking for a file on your local machine so when you upload to the remote server the link is broken:
<link href="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/KellysHomeFolder/Documents/btd-innovations/btdstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Have you defined a folder for your site at the begining of the project?
The link should look more like: (assuming btd-innovations is your site folder)

How do I set my older version of Pages as the default when opening files?

I currently have two versions (Pages '08 3.0.3 and Pages '09 4.2) on my computer. I am finding that when others send me a document created in the older version of Pages, when I open it, it converts it to the newer version. If I make changes and send it back, that same person with only the older version cannot open the file. I know I can duplicate the file, and save a copy as the Pages '08 version when sending the file back, but I'd like to skip this step. Remembering to control click each new file to choose which version I want to open the file in seems like an extra, unecessary step as well. I simply want the files sent to me to open in the older version, so I don't need to go through these extra steps each time. Anyone have any suggestions or tips for me? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I do try to keep Pages 08 open on my computer, but I sometimes find that my documents will still convert to the 09 version upon opening them, even if I don't make any changes or even save the file myself. I also find that I do not get the "save as" option in Pages 09 when it is not a file I created myself. You wouldn't think a basic word processing file would have this much trouble opening in a version that really isn't that much older. I've been doing a lot of copying and pasting into the older version when I send files out. This really makes the 09 version inconvenient to me. If it weren't for all of my files that now require the 09 version to open (because of this default setting everything I open seems to become an 09 version) I'd get rid of this version all together, as it is not compatible for so many other people with whom I work!
