Using AudioClips in a Frame

Hi, when I run my porgram through the main, the AudioClips do not work and they are vital to my program. Does anyone know how to fix this?

That works, but playing it doesn't
AudioClip test=getAudioClip(getDocumentBase(), "test.au");
test.play();There is the right code but it doesn't play the sound...

  • Am I wrong to use multi column text frames

    In every publication I encounter, all articles use one text frame per column on a page.
    Why not simply use multi-column text frame per article instead of threaded text frames, one per column.
    Am I the only person who thinks its better to use a single text frame with multiple columns.
    I only ask be cause I would like to conform to a standard if it had any benefits... but I'm really struggling to find any.
    Most of my publications are newsletters where the articles span anywhere from 2-5 columns but mostly 4-5. I like the confidence in knowing that all lines on an article are perfectly aligned.

    It all depends on your circumstances. When you need columns of unequal width you have to use threaded text frames: when you set a text frame to more than one column, you can't specify the width of the individual columns.
    Another difference is that in a frame with columns, footnotes always span the width of the frame. If you want footnotes the width of a column, you need a frame for each column.
    Yet another reason why you sometimes need frames rather than columns is when a page contain different stories which may continue on other pages, as as the case in most newspapers.
    So if your documents contain one story, don't use footnotes (or if they do, can span all columns), and all columns have the same width, then use columns. For example, indexes at the end of a book are candidates for columns; columns are probably good for telephone directories; and newspapers and magazines are maybe best set in frames.

  • How to use TextFormat on multiple frames

    I must be missing something, but how on earth do I make it so
    that I can set TextFormats for the whole movie and not just the
    frame the actionscript is on.
    My movie is basically a video with cuepoints that trigger
    different keyframes that display text appropriate to what the
    person featured in the video is talking about. In other words it's
    like a powerpoint presentation that's run by an FLV file. Almost
    all of the blocks of text I'll be displaying are bulleted lists and
    since, for some odd reason, bulleted lists aren't available using
    the standard Flash GUI text formating tools I need to apply them
    via ActionScript. All the ActionScript is in its own keyframe at
    the beginning of the movie timeline. I've setup my text formating
    code like this:
    var bulletlist:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    bulletlist.bullet = true;
    bulletlist_field.setTextFormat(bulletlist);
    While I have successfully applied this to a box of text on
    the first frame of the movie, I haven't be able to apply it to text
    on any other keyframe. So from what I can tell, I have to reference
    the above TextFormat actionscript for every frame I need to use it
    on, and since I can't have duplicate TextFormat values, that means
    I'd have to create a new instance with a new name for each frame.
    This seems rather inefficient and frankly ridiculous consider that
    the other ActionScript that I wrote seems to apply to the whole
    movie. And what's the point of using ActionScript to format text if
    you have to redo it for every *******' keyframe? Is there some
    function that I'm missing somewhere to allow me to use one set of
    TextFormat code on multiple frames or is this simply a dysfunction
    of Flash and/or ActionScript 3.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Craig Grummitt - Why so it is. Thanks for pointing that out.
    But my point still remains: You can change the defaultTextFormat
    property before you assign the text property or you can use
    setTextFormat() after you have assigned the text property. That one
    is a property and the other is a method just makes it more likely
    that somebody will over look one or the other!
    fallenturtle - part of the issue is that really great
    typographic stuff is tough and most people can't even use the
    simple tools that we have. For use with CS4 and Flash 10 publishing
    they are coming out with a far more complex Text Layout Framework.
    As best I can tell it is insanely complex and I'm guessing most
    people will never use it....but who knows.
    Additionally you are trying to do one of the more difficult
    things: mix timeline with code. That always gets tricky. If you
    were just using code you could create one textformat instance and
    apply it to all your code-created text fields. But since each
    timeline created clip is a new one you will need to apply the
    formatting by hand.
    Or you could just have one timeline created text field that
    went across all your frames and then change its properties with
    code everytime you needed to change it.

  • If I have a list of Vimeo videos on a webpage, how can I use just one video frame and have all videos play in that one frame?

    I am creating a page with a list of Vimeo video links. I want to have only one video frame on the page. So no matter which video link a user clicks on, the chosen video needs to play in that one video frame on the page. How do I do this in Muse?
    Thanks.

    You can use composition widget for this. Insert the video details in trigger container and then insert that corresponding vimeo video widget in that specific target container. So It would work like, users will click on different video buttons but the actual video will play on same frame which is actually a target container of composition.
    The ID that we use for vimeo widget cannot be used for different videos on same time , because every video shares its own ID and url. But you can surely try the above.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • Use data from a frame to another

    Hi,
    I would like use the data from my first frame in DataPanelCli in my second frame StruCliBox.
    BUT when I writte text in my first frame, and I use the button structcli in the ButtonPanelCli, it is always blank in my second frame.
    What have I to do.

    <!-- Created by Oracle UIX 2.1.7 -->
    _checkLoad is contained in the MarlinCore.js file.  That file should be in cabo/jslib/ directory.
    Two things strike me odd about the generated HTML code with relation to JavaScript. First, I expect to see JavaScript source files declared in the head portion. Second, the source files is declared after the onload call is made to the _checkLoad function.
    The third thing that I can see possibly causing the error is that the MarlinCore.js file is not visible to the server and therefore not delivered to the browser. But I am not certain where to find the files used by the embedded OC4J server.
    Is this a bug in 9.0.3?
    The uix files follow. All three framed pages (topFrame.uix, centerFrame.uix and bottomFrame.uix) display nicely in the uix preview and run nicely in the embedded OC4J.

    Did you create the files with JDev 903 preview or JDEV 902? If you created with JDEV 902 and upgraded your project to
    903 you need to delete all the files in the cabo directory in your public_html directory. That should get rid of your
    javascript errors.

  • Using Keynote Cool Picture Frames between Apps

    Hi - is there a way to grab the "Keynote" picture frames/borders for use in other apps. I can't seem to find them even when I show contents of the "keynote" package.
    Thanks for any and all help:)
    Shelley

    iMovie is a DV editing app and the final results would still make a 640X480 file.
    I would change a few things to make everything work together:
    First is the display resolution. You want the 23 inches to be used so just reduce the display preferences to try and match your QuickTime file. 800X600 sounds about right but larger will still work as H.264 Video scales up in size very nicely.
    This would force you to "reduce" the dimensions of the Keynote file but that shouldn't be much of an issue.
    QuickTime Pro could also be used to "change" the dimensions of the 640X480 file. Again, H.264 scales up in size and would look pretty good at even double size.
    The goal is to have them both at the same dimension and then match the monitor resolution.
    Easier to change the display than the files.

  • Can PQA use a single reference frame against a test video stream?

    For R&D testing of video "set-top" devices I want to initiate some internal processing on our UUT, then using a PXI-1491 analyze the digital (HDMI) video output of the UUT for some large number of seconds (180 seconds or more for example).
    The video that is being analyzed will have static image content. The amount of time I want to analyze the test stream after doing some stuff on the UUT is variable, but I always anticipate it being fairly long.
    It currently appears that I have to have a reference stream that contains exactly the same number of frames as the test stream.
    This makes the reference vbf files very large. My test requirements include a large number of resolutions that must be tested through the UUT. Having an extensive library of very large vbf files is logistically difficult, it would much easier to maintain such a library made up of single "golden" frame reference files instead.  Additionally, since my analyze time needs to be variable depending on test setup and UUT processing options, it would be better for me to have a single golden reference frame and validate alot of test frames against it.
    Since the analyzed video will have static images, is it possible to run a test video stream against a single reference frame (reduced reference) instead of having a full reference stream frame by frame?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Doing exactly what you are asking is not within the design of PQA.  Of course, the best option that we would recommend when working with video test is a large capacity hard drive, probably in a RAID configuration for more space and better performance, and then just taking a golden reference with 10k frames, and doing what you originally suggested.  
    One method of achieving what you are looking for without using a large reference file is through offline processing.  This would allow you to acquire 10,000 consecutive frames, which I understand is one of your concerns, and then after the fact run them back through the analyzer.  You would still be performing a looping type of action in TestStand or LabVIEW.  The process would be:
    1) Acquire your source from your 1491 provider with no processors, and saving the media stream to disk.
    Loop:
    2) Load PQA with the disk buffer provider instead of the 1491, the disk buffer file will be the acquisition from above
    3) Point the start frame to your current location.
    4) Perform your processor with the results.
    5) Repeat and iterate to a new start frame location
    This process is going to be much slower as you load and unload resources every time.  If you choose to go this way, a better implementation would be to maybe consider doing 100 frames at a time, or some number larger than 1, because the processing time of handling the extra frames is going to be less than loading/unloading PQA.
    Your second option is going to require more work outside of PQA to implement custom functionality through a Custom User Processor.  Effectively this allows you to come up with a way to process incoming data in ways that you'd like.  To do this you will need:
    1) LabVIEW 2011 - Custom User Processors for PQA can only be developed in LabVIEW 2011.  If you are under a SSP agreement with NI and only have LabVIEW 2012 currently, you still have access to older versions.
    2) Vision Development Module - To perform your image processing
    3) An unencrypted video source - Due to limitations of HDCP we can not expose the raw video feed to user processors.
    In this user processor you would:
    1) Load your static image/frame in directly, you wouldn't need to use the Media Ref input
    Loop

  • Security Access Violation while using AudioClip

    'Sounds[6]= Applet.newAudioClip(new URL("file:audio/itemsprout.wav"));'
    When I try and run the applet on a browser, I get a access violation error. I'm pretty sure it's the URL part, but how do I bypass it? Or go around it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Adrian Kwok

    Argh.. But it doesn't convert mid files.. >_<its not supprted with Applet.AudioClip either so don't worry 'bout d'at -
    though if you wish to venture into the javax.sound.sampled API (never used it - but I do know its there) midi is supported

  • How do I maximize LAN speeds using Gigabit Ethernet, jumbo frames?

    I move a lot of large files (RAW photos, music and video) around my internal network, and I'm trying to squeeze out the fastest transfer speeds possible. My question has to do both with decisions about hardware and what settings to use once it's all hooked up.
    This is what I have so far:
    -- imac 3.06GHz, macbook pro 2.53GHz
    -- Cisco gigabit smart switch capable of jumbo frames
    -- Buffalo Terastation Duo NAS (network attached storage), also capable of Gbit and jumbo frames
    -- All wired up with either cat6 or cat53e.
    -- The sizes of the files I'm moving would include large #s of files at either 15MB (photos), 7MB (music), 1-2GB (video) and 650MB (also video).
    -- jumbo frames have been enabled in the settings of the macs, the switch and the buffalo HD.
    -- I've played with various settings of simultaneous connections (more of a help with smaller files), no real difference
    -- Network utility shows the ethernet set to Gbit, with no errors or collisions.
    -- have tried both ftp and the finder's drap and drop
    -- also, whenever I'm doing a major move of data, I kick my family off the network, so there is no other traffic that should be interfering.
    Even with all that, I'm still lucky to get transfer speeds at 15-20mbps, but more commonly at around 10. The other odd thing I've encountered while trying to up my speeds, is that I might start out a transfer at maybe 60mbps, it will maintain that for about 30-60sec and then it appears to ramp itself down, sometimes to as low as 1-5mbps. I'm starting to think my network is mocking me
    I also have a dual band (2.4/5) wireless n router (not jumbo frame capable), but I'm assuming wired is going to trump wireless? (NOTE: in my tests, I have disabled wireless to force the connection through the ethernet).
    Can anyone help with suggestions, and/or suggest a strong networking reference book with emphasis on mac? I'm willing to invest in additional equipment within reason.
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm going to pick and choose to answer just a few of the items you have listed. Hopefully others will address other items.
    • This setup was getting me speeds as high as 10-15MB/sec, and as low as 5-6MB/sec when I was transferring video files around 1-2 GB in size
    I would think a single large file would get the best sustained transfer rates, as you have less create new file overhead on the destination device. It is disturbing that the large files transfer at a slower rate.
    • Would a RAID0 config get me faster write speeds than RAID1? I have another NAS that can do other RAID configs, which is fastest as far as write times?
    RAID0 (Striped) is generally faster, as the I/O is spread across 2 disks.
    RAID1 is mirrored, so you can not free the buffer until the same data is on BOTH disks. The disks are NOT going to be in rotational sync, so at least one of the disks will have to wait longer for the write sectors to move under the write heads.
    But RAID1 gives you redundency. RAID0 has not redundency. And you can NOT switch back and forth between the 2 without reformatting your disks, so if you choose RAID0, you do not get redundency unless you provide your own via a backup device for your NAS.
    • what is the most efficient transfer protocol? ftp? smb? something else? And am I better off invoking the protocol from the terminal, or is the overhead of an app-based client negligible?
    Test the different transfers using a large file (100's of MB or a GB sized file would be good as a test file).
    I've had good file transfers with AFP file sharing, but not knowing anything about your NAS, I do not know if it supports AFP, and if it does, whether it is a good implementation.
    If your NAS supports ssh, then I would try scp instead of ftp. scp is like using cp only it works over the network.
    If your NAS support rsync, that would be even better, as it has the ability to just copy files that are either NOT on the destination or update files which have changed, but leave the matching files alone.
    This would help in situations where you cannot copy everything all at once.
    But no matter what you choose, you should measure your performance so you choose something that is good enough.
    • If a client is fine, does anyone have a suggestion as to best one for speed? Doesn't have to be free -- I don't mind supporting good software.
    Again just test what you have.
    • Whats a good number to allow for simultaneous connections, given the number of files and their size?
    If the bottleneck is the NAS, then adding more I/O that will force the disk heads to move away from the current file being written will just slow things down.
    But try 2 connections and measure your performance. If it gets better, then maybe the NAS is not the bottleneck.
    • What question am I not asking?
    You should try using another system as a test destination device in the network setup to see if it gets better, worse, or the same throughput as the NAS. You need to see about changing things in your setup to isolate where the problem might be.
    Also do not rule out bad ethernet cables, so switch them out as well. For example, there was a time I tried to use Gigabit ethernet, but could only get 100BaseT. I even purchased a new gigabit switch, thinking the 1st was just not up to the task. It turned out I had a cheap ethernet cable that only had 4 wires instead of 8 and was not capable of gigabit speeds. An ethernet cable that has a broken wire or connector could exhibit similar performance issues.
    So change anything and everything in your setup, one item at a time and use the same test so you have a pear to pear comparision.

  • Media Foundation:Playback using Raw Data Bytes Frame by Frame

    I have a stream of bytes encoded by H264.Now
    I want to playback using Media Foundation I have the frames as raw data without container and I receive it frame by frame.does any
    one have any idea how can I do that?

    You should be able to decode it with the MF H264 decoder, but you should get the codec private data from the encoder in order to configure the decoder (MF_MT_USER_DATA). Anyway, more info on this would probably help other people in providing useful answers.
    Once you have decoded frames you could render them with the EVR or DXVA.

  • Grab images using IMAQ without sending frame request

    Hello,
    When a camera is externally triggered, is it possible to design a *.vi that makes use of IMAQ and grabs images via Camera Link frame grabber without sending frame request signals AND without knowing the external trigger? Just to grab images whenever FVAL, LVAL and DVAL go high. Possible?
    Thanks.

    Greetings, kcin;
    Just to check whether I understood or not, to have the Framegrabber acquire images when the FVAL, LVAL and DVAL lines go high with no other communication between the camera and the host computer? What exactly is the purpose of this endeavor?
    Initially, I do not believe it would be possible while using our IMAQ Driver simply due to the way it is designed; I will look into the matter further and inform you of my findings.
    Cordially;

  • Exporting to USB flash drive for use in digital picture frame

    With the recent popularity of digital picture frames, has anyone else run into this problem......
    I purchased digital picture frames to give as gifts this year, wanting to give them "pre-loaded" with photos. So i copied a bunch of pics from iphoto ( some i had edited, some not) onto a small 1GB flash drive. after ejecting the flash drive properly, i inserted it into the digital picture frame (kodak DPF800) and the slideshow starts as it should ...but then "freezes" midway through. repeatedly. and not always on the same picture.
    After several calls to the kodak tech support line, i finally had someone tell me that the frame will only read raw jpeg files.
    what does this mean? all the files in the flashdrive show as .jpeg.
    am i doing something wrong?
    any guidance would be appreciated.

    This is often caused by a file permissions issue on the photo. Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

  • After using modify/contents some frames go out of stage dimension

    Hello,
    I have a question to all you animators out there.
    I work in after effects and sometimes do some simple illustrations/animations in flash - where I usually switch the bg colour to gray
    as not to see the stage rectangular as it's distracting to me. Then when I have my drawings and a few different frames done I go to
    modify/ choose bg colour to white and check contents to frame all the content inside the document - then I want to export it to swf
    so I can use it in after effects.
    At this point all seems fine, all the frames are in place, however I noticed that frequently when I reopen my flash documet after having done this some frames are outside
    the white stage box (usually later frames, the 1st is in place).
    How do you deal with this?

    Hi all,
    Sorry for the slow response - as I'm sure you can understand, running lots of exports takes a few days and so it's taken me a while to test your suggestions properly.
    The render completes using the media encoder without crashing (MPEG2 Blu-ray and H.264 Blue Ray both worked), however the picture quality has really blurred:
    Original:
    MPEG2 Blu-Ray
    I also ran it in H.264 Blur-ray and this also appeared blurry. Apologies for lack of a screenshot, I deleted the export to conserve disk space.
    This is very similar to the problems I had under File => Export => Movie, which went away after I tweeked the export settings to match as closely as possible the footage (however Premiere then crashed when I tried to export the entire movie rather than just a clip).
    Working settings under File => Export which crashed Premiere but prevented the blurriness:
    Export
    Video and audio
    Entire Sequence
    Filetype
    QuickTime
    Video Settings
    Compressor: H.264
    Frame size: 1280h 720v (1.000)
    Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
    Audio Settings
    Compressor: Uncompressed
    Sample rate: 48000 samples/second
    Channels: Stereo
    Sample type: 16-bit
    Settings under Adobe Media Encoder
    Any thoughts what I'm doing wrong? This is starting to get really frustrating and I'm genuinely wondering if Premiere is suitable for what I'm trying to do. I've another project a month late in getting started because I want to get Premiere to export this so I know I'm not going to run into the same problems again - but I really don't know what else to try? Any ideas?

  • Using Line Stretch With Frame Property

    Hi Folks,
    I'm using Report Builder (Developer 2000 ver 6.0) and in one particular report, I would like to have vertical lines between displayed columns from the table.
    When I use the Layout Model and draw lines between the columns and use the Line Stretch With Frame Property of that particular line and choose the relevent frame, the line stretches with the number of records ( as I have reduced the number of records to 8 per page) only on pages from 2 onwards. On the first page the line does not stretches. Why is that?
    Similarly I would like to draw a line at the end of each record on each page, but when I draw the line in the Layout Model, it is always displayed in the middle of records instead of the last record.
    Thanks in advance
    regards
    Hassan

    It's a hardware fault. I suggest you make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have it tested. It's a free service. The repair won't be free, but if it's something simple, such as a bad memory module, you may be able to fix it yourself.
