Using Livetype Effects/textures/object data in Motion

I'm trying to figure alternatives for the *QT 7.4.5* issue that causes Livetype go haywired. Some of my current projects uses the IPR files and currently it is not displaying the *Livefonts, Textures and Objects* created in Livetype. Opening the Livetype projects won't show the effect created. All seen are garbled lines or nothing instead of effects applied. What is working is just the *Font and Effects*.
Have anyone tried to get the Livetype Object or Textures as part of Motion effects? If it can be done, can someone shed some light of doing this? I see that Livefonts is supported.
Will try to downgrade the Livetype to previous version to see whether it can solve this problem.Will update results soon.
Thanx.

I did the downgrade to 7.4.1 and livetype works a charm. Only thing is FCP 6.0.3 won't work with QT7.4.1. It needs QT7.4.5.
So my suggestion is you haven't have any project opened in FCP603, stick to FCP602. I'm stuck as I have already updated my work in FCP603. And now I'm stuck.

LIVETYPE LIVEFONTS, TEXTURES, OBJECTS, EFFECTS WON'T IMPORT?

This is basically, pretty stupid from what I can tell? SoundTrack lets you change and re-import/re-locate all of your related "loops" with a very similar window to LiveType. But, apparently, LiveType won't let you move your "LiveType Data" (.afd) files?????
Or, is what I have read incorrect? Can you re-link to the "LiveType Data" after the LiveType initial install?
I have a clients G5/DP1Ghz and he installed LiveType without the "LiveType Data". I don't have his disks, but I do have my older version of LiveType and want to use the "LiveType Data" from that without a full LiveType Installation!!!! Can't I do this???? I can with pretty much all other Apple applications, why won't LiveType let me do it?
Do I have to fully re-install LiveType?????
Thanks!

Flash is not Illustrator-with-added-animation. It is a
different program entirely, with some - but not full - ability to
import Illustrator objects.
Workaround: Import your Illustrator object without effects
and then apply the Inner Glow in Flash, using the built-in filters
(check Flash Help for how to do it).
If you're learning Flash CS3 in college, I suggest you try to
learn Flash, not just import things from elsewhere. Flash Help
files are extremely useful, and well presented, for
beginners.

How do you create a looped 'conveyor belt' effect with objects on a motion path?

I am trying to efficiently create the following looped
effect: a bunch of shapes constantly following a motion guide (a
closed circle). Basically the object could be a conveyor belt or
something else.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i302/Cablestein/dfg.jpg
I want to avoid having to do it the old-fashioned way of
multiplate layers and symbols. I do not want to see the triangles
skip or jitter while moving along either.
Is there an obvious way to do this with action script? Some
way to simply start with a single symbol and motion guide, then
applying some script (copy-paste).

Thanks.
A circle is easy enough, sure, but I would like to make all
kinds of curves in that circle actually. Everyone knows about
rotating a basic circle. This is beyond that. Imagine all kinds of
turns, waves and spirals in that line.
I have tried Illustrator, and there's potential solutions
there... like the text-on-path tool (why doesn't Flash have that
yet?) which works fantastic. Still a lot of manual work, and will
be a ton of manually copied frames. I wanted something more
efficient.

Extract account Based COPA from R/3 using Business Object data services

Hello,
We have a requirement to extract Account Based COPA from SAP R/3 to Teradata using Business Objects data services.
I have read couple of white papers which give information on Rapid Marts( which are built in packages) already available for some applications like inventory, GL, AP, AR etc. But I could not find anything for COPA.
Would anyone give me any information on how to use BO data services for COPA?
Also if there is no rapid mart available for COPA, does anyone know how to create custom data marts in BO Data services?
Is there any document available on this?
Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
this forum is for the SAP Integration Kit. Would suggest you post your question into the EIM area for Data Services.

How to use BAPI_OBJCL* to set classification data for Techn. Objects - PM ?

Good afternoon !
        I´m working in a project to integrate some legacy system with the ECC 6.0, and I need to do some activities like, create functional locations and equipments in SAP PM, I have done this creating Z RFC modules that call bapis like BAPI_FUNCLOC_CREATE and BAPI_EQUI_CREATE, but these BAPIs doesn´t fill classification data, so, in a first moment, I solved this using BDC, but I would like to solve these needs using standard BAPIs if possible.
        To solve the classification, I tried to do it using the BAPI_OBJCL* BAPIs(BAPI_OBJCL_GET_KEY_OF_OBJECT, BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE_KEY), but I didn´t find any example of using these bapis with technical objects, so I tried to test the BAPI_OBJCL_GET_KEY_OF_OBJECT in a first moment and, when I call it passing '003' as classtype(003 is the classtype for the functional locations), this bapi returns me "Class type 003 requires additional objects"(the same occurs if I try it with 002, for equipment). What means this message ? Need I to do some customization in img/spro, or cannot these bapis be used with PM technical objects ?
        Thank you for your attention,
        Wilson

Hi all !
        I have found the solution for this problem, I found that I was trying to use the wrong functions for my case, so, to solve my needs here, I will use BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE to set the classification data for Functional Locations and Equipments, and I can use BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES to list all classes assigned for a Technical Object, and BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL to get all characteristics assigned to a Technical Object for a specific class.
        Thank you all for your attention !

Acquire data from a tab delimited file using a popup dialog object on a stamp

I am trying to import data from a tab delimited file using a popup dialog object on a stamp. I have purchased the book by Thom Parker--All About PDF Stamps in Acrobat and Paperless Workflows and have been working through the examples in the appendix.
My problem is understanding how to bring the data into the dialog object from the file.
I don't want to plagiarize his book--so am electing at this time not to show my code. The script is reading the file, just not bringing in the records from the file so that I can select which line to import into the stamp.
I have typed in the code exactly how the book describes, but when the popup dialog object is selected, there is nothing in the drop-down. When I click OK, the first record is put on the stamp--except for the fields that I am wanting to appear in the dialog object popup box.
I have searched the forums, and also the JavaScript reference. There are examples of the popup dialog object, but none of them show how to import the data from a file--just for the items to be typed in as the list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! i have been trying to work on this for several months now.

Karl
Thank you for getting back with me!
In answer to your questions:
1. Your trusted function is not a trusted function. Did you put this
function into a folder level script so that it will get executed at system
startup?--
yes--I saved the script as a .js file and put it in the following path (I have Acrobat XI Pro for Windows)
C:\Documents and Settings\tjohnson\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\Privileged\11.0\JavaScripts\GetTabData.js
2. The script cannot find your tab delimited data file, or it cannot
extract the data. Did you add the data file in the correct location? The
location from the script in the book would be c:\mydata\Contacts.txt
Yes--the file is in the same path as the book.
Below is my code that references the file.
var cPath = "/c/mydata/Contacts.txt";
the slashes in the book go in the direction of the text above--should they go in the direction that you have in your question?
Also, the name and email address need to be separated by one Tab character.
They are.
3. The fields need to be named the same way as the columns in the data file (the two names are in the first line of the file).
My headings are RevByFromTab and EmailFromTab--which match the names of the two fields on the stamp.
So, check that you are not getting any errors in the JavaScript console
(Ctrl-J or Cmd-J), and verify that the tab delimited file is in the correct
location
When I run in the java script console--and I just run the script on the stamp,
it says
TypeError: event.source is null
17:Console:Exec
undefined
When I place the stamp on the page, the popup box is working, but when you click on the down arrow, there is nothing listed. When I click OK, the RevByFromTab is populated by the first item in the file, but the EmailFromTab field says undefined.
Thank you

ActiveX in BradySoft (CodeSoft) - What Class/Method/Object's would I use to send variable form data to BradySoft?

What Class/Method/Object's would I use to send variable form data to BradySoft? I have a basic label setup in BradySoft and I want to send it variable form data (a serial number) from Labview ActiveX. I have attached Brady's ActiveX programmers guide but can't figure out what to use for this. P.S. I would call Brady or TekLynx tech support about this but they have a strict policy whereas BradySoft supports ActiveX but their tech support doesn't provide programming help with it. I figured I'd try the NI Forums.

Aaronb, I presume by publishing an ActiveX programmers manual the BradySoft software installs Active X objects. You may choose to interact with these objects within LabVIEW using Active X controls. The following link will provide a starting point for LabVIEW help topics on Active X communication: Select ActiveX Object Dialog Box

Changing the Modified Date of a List Item using the SharePoint Client Object Model (C#) with Contribute Permission

I have a small snippet of code that I use to update the Modified Date of a list item and it works great for users with Full Control permissions. However, for users with just Contribute access to the site the code doesn't work. Instead, SharePoint
just updates the Modified Date to now.
I did some testing, and narrowed down the specific permission level that allows updating of Modified dates and oddly enough, it's the "Manage Permissions" level.
Has anyone run into this issue? If so, how do I work around this and update the Modified date as a user with only Contribute access to a site/library?
Here's the code:
DateTime Test = new DateTime(2012, 5, 4);
ListItem li = list.GetItemById(itemID);
li["Modified"] = Test;
li.Update();
ct.ExecuteQuery();
Thanks,
Max

Hello,
As a workaround you can pass admin credential in your code because as per my knowledge contributor can't update default columns like: created by, modified by, modified, created.
ClientContext clientContext = newClientContext(siteUrl);
ClientContext.Credentials = newNetworkCredential(UserName, Password, Domain);
Hope it could help

How do some of you use LT's chalk objects in your projects?

I'm trying to get a feel for effective use of the many objects provided with Livetype. The chalk fill and chalk mark objects seem pretty cool, but I'm not sure what to do with them. I tried creating text and matting it the chalk, which made it look the text was being erased. I could export the object and then create a travel matte for it in FCP or motion, which would also be cool. Any other creative ideas?

Business Object Data Services (BODI) without SAP MDM?

Hi,
From an architectural point of view; do you always have to use SAP MDM when you want to use the Business Object Data Services (e.g. for data validity checks when creating customers)?
Or can you use Business Object Data Services in combination with SAP ECC without MDM?
Best regards,
Marius

All Depends on your business needs.
1) As in if you want to use most effective cleansing (BODS contains inbult infor for Adderess cleansing) along with some data governance(Validation, assignments,MDM Workflow) I would say fo with BO-MDM Integration.
2) Here I am not sure via BODS - ECC you can handle ongoing maintainance , it is supreb for first time data load.
so it is better if you use ECC-BO-MDM ---> BI/ECC for smooth transition through out landscape.
3) Here also try to check the data structure compactiblity between BODS and ECC as per their version, it can also create a big impact.
Hope these points can clear many doubts

Data Acquisition - using local variables to write data to a file

Hello,
I am running a Data Acquisition vi (currently in LabVIEW 7.1 but soon to be updated to 8.2) that collects ~100 parameters of data from several sources contained in a while loop. The current configuration (which I did not write) uses very few subVIs and writes to ~100 local variables to store each parameter. It then reads all the local variables and builds an array of all the strings, converts then to a spreadsheet string, then uses the write characters to file function to append to a datafile. I am trying to clean things up and have came up with subVIs to collect the data from the following sources:
8 serial port sources collecting btwn 8 and 20 parameters each
~15 thermocouple readings
~10 analog inputs
~20 parameters read off an ARINC 429 bus.
I have come up with a subVI to read each of the sources and have placed the subVIs in the while loop. Each subVI outputs the data that it collects in array or cluster form. I was wondering how best to write each parameter to a CSV file at between 1 and 10 Hz. Should I write each subVI output to a LV and then read them off as was done before (the difference being that I have reduced the # of LVs to ~10 vs >100?
I should add that precise timing is not that important, so if all the subVIs are not collecting simultaneously (which I understand that they won't be), it does not really matter.
Thanks.

Hi jilla,
jilla wrote:
What I think that you are saying is to turn the outputs of the 4 subVIs into inputs of a 5th subVI that writes to the data file. Correct?
Yes. It may sound like a fine-point, but I beileve it's better to create a VI specifically for formatting data - in your example, 4 arrays IN, a single string OUT. Then write the string to file as a seperate operation. GUI-displayed data can go through a similar transformation, the four arrays wired to a subVI which builds output-structures specifically for display. It's a beginner's mistake to put lots of individual controls and indicators on the screen when groups of them are naturally related (in an object-oriented sense.) Use clusters to group related controls - this will keep the diagram much cleaner.
One more question: at what point (either # of data points or frequency of data collection) does it become necessary to use queues? Thanks.
Well, there's not really a clearly definable "point". I'd say if your update-rate climbs above 100Hz, or you witness poor program or system performance, then it's time. The scenario you've described is a fairly simple acquire/display&log loop - and simple is good. Then-again people can't see/react-to updates faster than about 10Hz - so it doesn't make sense to sacrifice performance - if performance becomes an issue.
Re: queues: Queues are sometimes used to buffer data that's "produced" in one place and "consumed" in another.
Here, if/when logging data, you're logging with every DAQ. I wouldn't recommend using a queue to transport data from a "DAQ loop" to a "Logging-loop" - those functions can be in the same loop. Should/could a queue be used to get data from a "DAQ loop" to update the GUI at a lower frequency? Sure, but a Notifier might be a better choice. Further, in the (simple?) program you've described, you might use a case structure (True/False) to only update FP indicators every "X" iterations - a simple solution that doesn't require Queues or Notifiers.
Cheers!

Why does my entire computer freeze while opening or using After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5?

Just built a computer to meet all requirements for Adobe, Autodesk 3ds Max, and UDK, for school.
Specs;

I use an external component - USB Microsoft Wireless Mouse & Keyboard 2000.
I have, as far as software goes...

Adobe Creative Suite 5, student version or what have you.
- I do have several plugins installed as well for After Effects only.
Autodesk 3ds Max 2012
-I have several maxscripts as well as a couple plugins for 3ds Max.

As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
"Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

How to use two activex class objects in same vi

HI
I am using labview to read ECU data from INCA software .INCA providing COMTOOL API(incacom.dll). I am using ACTIVEX for communication between INCA & Labview. My problem is If I have used single activex class object I am able to read Inca version, getting the database path etc. If I have used two activex class in same vi (one to open Inca & other one is to read the folder structure) I am not getting output.I have attached snapshot for referance

Connect to the database and execute four SQL INSERT/UPDATE statements as a single unit of work. The fact that you have one form shouldn't be an issue.
I'll bet you're having trouble because you haven't layered the problem either in code or in your mind.
I'd recommend that you write a POJO to take in some objects and execute the SQL. Once you have that running successfully you can worry about the form. Decouple the two.
