Unsure about transition effects

I have a home page that has 5 images on it and a line or 2 of
copy on the bottom of each image. Each image is masked by a tall,
narrow rectangle. I want these images to function as a button so
that when a user clicks on one of them, the image scales downs a
bit, moves slightly to the right and the tall narrow rectanglar
mask changes to a more horizontal rectangular shape. As the image
comes to rest at it's new position, scale and mask shape, I want
copy to fade in to the right of the image so the effect is that I
have linked to another page on my site. I also want to include a
back button of some kind so after the user views the page, he can
easily go back to the home page.
I'm not sure if this is best handled by actually using
buttons, or perhaps by Actionscript ( which I don't know much
about). I'm pretty new to Flash CS3, so any help woud be very much
appreciated.
Thanks
Randy

Hello
Can you please tell us which notebook model do you have and which operating system do you use?
> I check for latest drivers it says there are 43 updates available
How have you made this check?
Do you have some problems with your notebook and preinstalled OS?
Generally speaking, if everything works well you should not change anything. I have 2 years old Satellite notebook and still use original recovery image without one single update.
All I have installed are important Windows updates.

Trying to make Tile Transition Effect a rollover effect

Hello all-
I'm a newbie to AS3 and I'm hoping someone can help me. I am trying to make the Tile Transition Effect, from flash-filter.net, into a rollover effect. I originally began working off of the 3D Cube Rollover Transition script and I was able to get the rollover part to work but as soon as the first transition is done I get this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at net.flashfilter.as3.effects.tileflip::TileFlip3D/processFrame()
at net.flashfilter.as3::PaperBase/onRenderFrame()
I realize that the error itself means that I am trying to call something that is not instantiated yet, but I am unsure where my code is wrong, and I am also unclear on what the 2nd and 3rd lines mean. Here is the code:
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, _onOver);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, _onOut);
var running = false;
var goIn = false;
var goOut = false;
function _onOver(e:MouseEvent){
if(!running){
_createAnimation("in");
running = true;
}else{
goIn = false;
goOut = true;
function _onOut(e:MouseEvent){
if(!running){
_createAnimation("out");
running = true;
}else{
goIn = true;
goOut = false;
function _inAnimationDone(e:Event){
e.target.removeFilter();
img1.visible = false;
if(goIn){
_createAnimation("out");
}else{
running = false;
goOut = false;
function _outAnimationDone(e:Event){
e.target.removeFilter();
img2.visible = false;
if(goOut){
_createAnimation("in");
}else{
running = false;
goIn = false;
function _createAnimation(dir:String){
var myFilter:TileTransitionEffectAS3 = new TileTransitionEffectAS3();
myFilter.mouseEnabled = false;
myFilter.mouseChildren = false;
addChild(myFilter);
if(dir == "in"){
myFilter.init(img1, img2, 10, 20, 40, 40, "Mode7", "l->r");
myFilter.addEventListener(TileTransitionEffectAS3.ANIMATION_DONE, _inAnimationDone);
}else if(dir == "out"){
myFilter.init(img2, img1, 10, 20, 40, 40, "Mode7", "r->l");
myFilter.addEventListener(TileTransitionEffectAS3.ANIMATION_DONE, _outAnimationDone);
Thanks in advance to anyone that might be able to shed some light on the situation!

I'm assuming that you want to do something like the push into all of the stills. There's no real trick, there is just a bunch of work. You have to distribute your layers in 3D space and animate the camera. I'd suggest you start with simple moves with just 3 or 4 layers. Get that right, then start adding layers until you've achieved the complexity you desire.
If I had the artwork and were to try and match the camera move that happens around 7 seconds I'd budget about a half hour. The move from 15 seconds to about 18 seconds is mostly a single setup repeated 3 times. Something that complex would take me about an hour and a half but it could easily take all day, depending on the images needed and whether or not I had to do a bunch of resizing to complete the project.
The other option would be to use the Card Dance plug-in. Card Dance is a complex plug-in that requires some training to use. To learn more type card dance into the search field in AE and look at the training materials. The move on the red layer with all the squares at about 1:47 could be created quite quickly with Card Dance.

What's the name of the Transition Effect?

What's the name of the transition effect that, dissolves the image from Top to Bottom then rebuilds the next image from bottom to top? Just simple small tiny pixels dissolving. Is there a name for this effect? Where is this effect located? Is there another program that performs this effect. I know after effects works with these kinds of effects, however I'm looking for the exact effect, dissolves all the pixels from the Top to Bottom then rebuilds all the pixels of the next image from the bottom to top.

I kind of think I know what you're talking about, but a picture is worth thousand words. Sounds like gradient wipe to me. Just apply mosaic to your gradient, pecompose and use the pre-comp as the source of your gradient. I can't know for sure until you show me a picture.
This is what a comp would look like:
Here's a CS6 project file. Just substitute the colored solids for your images.

Menu transition effects, Animations ?

does transition effects , animations etc come along with a theme ? or is it fp2 dependant alone ?
i mean, i have an fp2 device, 5730XM, but i cannot seem to get all of the transition effects Nseries phones have. Yes they are animated but not completel as it is in, for instance, N79. And yes i've turned on the theme effects.
Thanks

AFAIK stock nokia themes are locked to the firmware updates each phone recieves. Basically each single phone as a peculiar stock theme which it receives embedded in the firmware updates. For example, the 5800 NE has a special default theme which is different from the default theme of the 5800 XM. Now, it may be possible to make a theme using one of the various theme making software out there with theme animation effects. So basically you need to find such a software which supports those effects you are talking about.

Page transitions effects

I've looked around a lot, but I have not been able to find
any tutorial explicitly going over just how to design transition
effects between pages (i.e., the effect through which the Home page
loads, and how to smoothly dissapear its content when the viewer
clicks to go to a different page, and the same thing for all pages
basically).
I've learned the basics of motion and shape tweening, as well
as masking (using tweens), and some basic actionscript, however,
with various content on my pages it does not allow me to do a
mask/tween nor is it at all a practical solution for my specific
problem: again, I want the pages to load up and dissapear smoothly
with some sort of effect. I have set the pages up using labels.
Any input, or link to a descent tutorial on the subject would
be greatly appreciated.
Chuck

Thanks for the posting.
While they're pretty terse, the InDesign Help files are pretty clear about whether things can be exported or not.
For example:
"Movies and sound clips you add to a document can be played when the document is exported to Adobe PDF or SWF, or when you export the document to XML and repurpose the tags." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Page transitions display a decorative effect such as a dissolve or wipe when you’re turning pages in a document that is exported to SWF or PDF format. You can apply different transitions to different pages, or you can apply a single transition to all the pages. Page transitions are especially useful when you create a slideshow in PDF or SWF format." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Animation effects let you make objects move in your exported SWF files. For example, you can apply a motion preset to an image that makes it appear to fly in from the left side of the screen while shrinking and spinning. Use the following tools and panels to animate documents." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
But:
"When you export your InDesign document to FLA file format, you can open the file in Adobe Flash® CS5 Professional to edit the contents. Exporting to FLA in InDesign CS5 format replaces XFL export in InDesign CS4. Use the Flash authoring environment to edit or add video, audio, animation, and complex interactivity." (The last sentence says you should do those things in Flash Professional.)

[svn:fx-trunk] 9287: Fixes bug with shader-transition effects ( AnimateTransitionShader, Wipe, and CrossFade) when acting on targets that either have filters or are inside a hierarchy with filters .

Revision: 9287
Author:   [email protected]

Log Message:
Fixes bug with shader-transition effects (AnimateTransitionShader, Wipe, and CrossFade) when acting on targets that either have filters or are inside a hierarchy with filters. Fix was to capture the bitmap snapshot of the target without any of its own filters applied and to then use the ShaderFilter in conjunction with the target's filters during the animation.

Lots to be excited about. BUT...Just updated to 8.1 on one of my computers to test it out...
Sadly, the following issue is NOT fixed for me. Is it with new projects only? I haven't started a new project on 8.1 I've only opened an old project but the issue that I'm referring to which involves also a delay/freeze of anywhere from a few seconds to a MINUTE while the render bar goes from yellow to red and then back to yellow is still there. Boo.
On the list above...
Switching between sequences can turn the render bar red.
This issue is incredibly easy to replicate. I really do hope it gets fixed. Here are the steps:
1) Create two sequences with multiple short clips (the more clips the better)
2) Make sure GPU acceleration is enabled.
3) Add warp stabilizer to the clips in both sequences. Again, the more clips the longer the delay/freeze will be as the render bar goes from YELLOW to RED and then eventually back to YELLOW again.
4) Hit SAVE.
5) Now, toggle between sequences. You'll hit a short delay with a few clips stabilized and a LONG delay with lots stabilized. In my case this delay is around a full minute. The render bar will go from YELLOW to RED and then back to yellow...eventually.
6) Toggle back to the original sequence and the delay occurs again.
7) Once you've toggled between sequences and have gone through this delay, that's it, there is no longer a delay...UNTIL...(and here's the big kicker)...until the project is SAVED again. After that the issue returns when you toggle between sequences. Both saving manually and AUTOSAVING cause this issue. No way around it except not editing with GPU acceleration.
Not sure what the issue is...caching issue when saving maybe? Either way, it stinks and it's still there in 8.1. Big bummer.
Again, lots to be excited about with this release but I really was hopefully this specific issue was resolved.
Sigh.

N97's transition effects aren't as cool as 5800XM,...

even with theme effects turned on, i hardly see any transition effents on my N97 other than that animation while swiping on the standby screen. My friends cheaper 5800XM has better transition effects while opening and closing items. Why? Both use the same processor and have the same amount of RAM eh?
Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and the world laughs louder :-)

@nagendra, installed the sound wave theme from http://fsa.zedge.net/mobile-download/2-493960-281724/Sound_Wave.sis
Unfortunately, i don't have any transition effects other than the homescreen swipe animation available on every other theme.
Makes me think again, the N97 isn't capable of 5800xm like transition effects. It's not just about the theme in use, it's about the device in which it is being used as well. With the same hardware, the N97 cannot display 5800XM like animations even while using a 5800XM theme. What is this, another firmware incapability?
Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and the world laughs louder :-)

Transition + Effects = Madness!!

I'm just playing around, trying to get my iMovie bearings, and this is what I decided to try:
I've got about a 15 second clip of myself playing guitar and singing a song. I've got the song itself in the second timeline track. (It took awhile to sync them up, there's got to be an easier way!) I've got about five second of blank space converted to clip before me playing. I used a Lightspeed transition between the two which lasts about 2 seconds. About fifteen frames after the transition is OVER I want an electricty effect to hit my guitar, so I set Effect In to about 2 and a half second, or two seconds and 15 frames. I set Effect out at the full 10 seconds, so that the effect would only last about 2 seconds.
Didn't quite work out how I wanted. The effect (Electricity) was going on, granted fading in, as soon as the Lightspeed transition started showing me playing guitar, in fact, as the transition was taking place. And the effect lasted the duration of the clip. . Never mind...what I bet I have to do is slpit the clip immediately after the transition split and then again two seconds later, and apply the effect to only that clip.

Try to make a few more transitional states in between with varying levels of opacity for each picture (and play with the State Delay time). Other than that, i don't think Fireworks has transitional effects for slideshows (i may be wrong).

Premiere Pro CS4 Loose transition effect after exporting.

Hey everyone. Still a little new to Pro, but have searched for an answer to this question with no luck. I have about a 4 minute project which consists of titles, still images and video and audio. I have 5 opening titles, each 3 seconds long. I have set the 'dip to black' transition effect between each of them. After exporting to media - Windows AVI, the effect is gone on just these clips. All other transitions work great. I am doing this on my Vista Ultimate Dual Core 1.8 GHz 32-bit PC with 3GB of RAM. I am exporing to NTSC DV.
I did try exporting the exact same project on my work laptop. Windows XP, 1.7GHz with 1GB of RAM and it worked just fine.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

The glow is best done with a plugin from trapcode called Shine. They also have an effect called sparkle which should accomplish the effect in your video example.
Shine is preetty much a standard plugin for AE or Pr. Its a bit overused though.
http://www.trapcode.com/products_shine.html
In fact I did a tutorial for Shine a while back. Maybe it will help. Though it was done on Pr ver 1; but the plugin works the same.

Thumbnail Buttons in Transition Effect Ga;;ery

Hello,
I have used the attached code to apply transition effects to
a JPEG This code works great but when I try to install thumbnail
buttons using loadclip or loadmovie the JPEG loads with out the
effect or doesn't load at all. What can I do to get my thumbnails
to load JPEG's with transitions when clicked?
Thanks,
WonderWendy

its probably that your image isn't displaying fully loaded
when you call the function. I know you script appears to have that
solved, but try this...
ad trace("HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA")
to your onLoadInit function.
ad trace("BOOOO YOU SUCK")
to your onLoadComplete function.
Just mess around with those and see if that might be your
problem. I'm actually unsure, I'm not on my main machine with my
code snippets. Good Luck!

TS3579 I found this useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up

I found this (TS3579: If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac Learn about If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac) useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up in Finder.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

Third party Flash transition effects

Can third party transition effects be used in Catalyst?

The effect code would not be accessible to Catalyst. You can use Flash Profession to animate the item with the effect you want, then import that swf into Flash Catalyst. FC does allow you to play and stop a swf.
The imported swf should be published with player 10.1 as the target.
Hope this helps,

How do I create an orange flash transition effect using Adobe Premiere CS6?

I am trying to create an orange flash transition effect using Adobe Premiere CS6 with my MAC computer.

Try this:
Add Cross Dissolve, cut and nest
Add a Fast Blur to the nest and tweak as in first screendump
Superimpose orange Color Matte and tweak as in second screendump
Make (fixed) effects into presets for future use.
Good luck.

N97 Transition Effect Problem

As you all know that the N97 user interface is not attractive due to the lack of the real transition effects, my 5800 have a nice iphone like transitions, but for the N97 the transition effect is very simple! Only some sliding menus and that’s it!! I wonder where is the screen orientation swivel effect we've seen in early N97 prototype videos? However, once I enable the transition effects on my N97 it will start to become unstable with crashes and it will affect some other programs like the photo gallery (will hang sometimes and gives low res pictures or just the whole program will go to the background while using the zoom button!) and the Web browser will start to display mid and large websites without images!!! I tried to reload the page so many times but only the text appears without any image! After trying so many times at last the page loaded successfully with all images but my happiness didn't last as I discovered that the phone turned off the transition effects automatically! When I went to the themes menu to check, it was turned on but actually it’s not working as the phone disabled it in order to load the web page! It happened to my three times since I updated my firmware last week (V 11)! I think this is because of the lack of enough RAM, I removed all the online widgets from the home screen (like facebook and accuweather) and just used contacts, programs, calendar, email, and music shortcuts which gave me additional 5 MB of free RAM and the phone felt more stable but still can’t handle the transition effects and proper Web pages display simultaneously! My 5800 handles web pages better and display all images even if the transition effects are turned on! I hope Nokia will fix these issues and gives us an option to disable the Widgets and Kinetic scrolling (Make the UI just like the 5800) in order to have more free RAM and enjoy full transition effects and proper Web Browsing with better stability just like the 5800.

Any updates on the effects? I wrote to Nokia support, I'm in Russia, they replied.
I have illustrated my question with the links to youtube where it is clearly visible how the UI rotates and other animation effects when opening the widgets.
My translation of the official reply:
"In firmware version 11 those effects do work! Try to resent the phone to the factory settings by typing: *#7780#, standard lock code is - 12345 or try to format the phone memory. Do your data and contacts back up using PC Suite . enter *#7370# (formats phone memory), enter the code 12345 the phone will resent. Then restore your back up."
