Wanting to do this effect (did you know)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECDZbrzkTxk
The effect is the multiple "?" in yellow boxes flying at the screen.
I would be replacing "?" with "!" but thats not important
Im not even sure where to start on this one.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thnaks in advance.
Im using AE CS5

Typically done with a particle generator.  Built in to After Effects are CC Particle Systems and CC Particle World, or the very confusing Particle Playground if you're adventurous.  Trapcode's third party plugin Particular is by far the best particle generator for After Effects, but it'll cost you.

  • Drawing attention to an FP object DId YOU know this?

    Often when we are walking a user through filling out some required information we want to direct their attention to a particular control. The traditional wasy of oing this is to use "key focus" and if more "help" is required maybe change a string control with instruction saying "please fill in your name!". If you really want to get fancy you may even change the background color.
    There is now a new approach available but I am not going to tell you what it is (yet). Instead I'll show you!
    Run the attached VI (in LV 8.6) and press the highlight button.
    The approach I used is in the code but I hid it so you can first ask yourself "how would I have done that?"
    So did YOU know this? 
    Ben
    PS To find the answer in the code, please rember that I don't use sequence structes unless I have a reason.

    From reading between Darren's lines, the method existed previously and thus if Ben saves a copy for previous versions it will work and the method can be cut and pasted to VIs and used in other versions.  Ben, can you save a version 8.5 of this and see if it works and then post it?  It would be a nice tool and some of us are stuck at 8.5 until further notice.
    Oww you are sharp Scott!
    Here it is saved as a invoke node. I did not test it since my 8.5 and 8.6 machines are unique boots of the same machine. If it works we may be able to go bak fartehr than 8.5.
    Let me know if it works!

  • Did you know this about bridge?

    I'm just curious if I'm the only one who is this slow... :p
    But did you know you could use Bridge to search your computer for images by dimensions? Man, I spent sooo much time this morning trying to find a way to 'trick' Windows into giving me a search by dimensions option. :D
    Afterwards, I wasted even
    more time googling for utilities or tools with that feature. :\ Then it hit me: I remembered seeing all kinds of neat bits of image information in Bridge last time I used it.
    And there it was, in the "find" menu... lol

    You are absolutely right, it is good business practice to check out the offerings from a company before you show or give it to your customers.
    I guess I just assumed that there would be a cut-out on the front cover of the Aperture books, since the soft cover books I ordered from iPhoto did have the front cover cut-out.
    My question, however, is where in the description of the Aperture hard cover book does it state that the cover photo is pasted on ? It is difficult to tell how the front cover is constructed from the photos on the Aperture web site.
    ...... I may have missed it.
    A lesson learned!
    Thanks for your comments.

  • Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon"? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of

    Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon"  without you adding it? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of this?

    Credit card and debit card and checking and savings information is encrypted so it is possible to be hacked, but the odds are greater to get hit by the Love Boat then to have a wide scale hack.
    Oh yes they do happen, Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, Target and quite a few others. But in all the years I have paid my invoice with saved card information I never been hacked.
    You use good passwords and the risk is minimal.
    Good Luck

  • Did you know... (about dictionary of this forum)

    Did you know, that default spell checker (when writing a message on forum) does not recognize words like: Microsystems, JavaBean, NetBeans, JDK, SDK, EE (used frequently on J2EE forum), Servlet, JSP, EJB, but knows words like SE (for J2SE) and Microsoft.
    (Microsoft ???!!!)
    It knows about Java but not about java (case does matter?!)
    When I wrote feedback about annoying horizontal scrollbar when viewing some of the forums with FireFox (for example Java EE SDK forum),
    I noticed that it also doesn't know about firefox, netscape, ie,
    but knows about Firefox, Netscape and IE.

    Proper names are known. But product names will not be - nor will acronyms.

  • DID YOU KNOW?? - ABOUT ADVANCED COMPONENTS IN THE PALETTE??

    <br>
    Hi All,
    DID YOU KNOW??
    The IDE ships with the following Advanced Components in the Palette.
    These advanced components are a set of JavaServer Page markup tags for advanced users. The components have no visual appearance and are useful to developers with experience in JSP and JavaServer Faces technologies.
    * Encoding
    * Faces Action Listener
    * Faces Converter
    * Faces Validator
    * Faces Value Change Listener
    * Faces Verbatim
    * Link
    * Load Bundle
    * Markup
    * Meta
    * Parameter
    * Script
    Lets look at MARKUP component in more detail.
    The MARKUP Component
    You can drag the Markup component Markup component icon from the Palette's Advanced category to the Visual Designer to create a standard HTML tag. The Markup component enables you to insert HTML elements into the JSP page in places that HTML is not permitted.
    When you drop this component on a page in the Visual Designer, you cannot see it on the page until you set the tag property. You can see it in the Outline window and you can select it there to edit its properties in the Properties window.
    Use the tag property to specify the type of HTML element to insert. For instance, to insert an <hr> tag, set the tag property to hr with no angle brackets and select the singleton property .
    To provide compliance with XHTML, if the HTML element you are inserting is a singleton element, you must specify the singleton property, which causes a trailing /> to be generated in the rendered HTML. For example, the <br> element is a singleton element that must be rendered as
    to make it XHTML compliant.
    If you want to specify HTML attributes in addition to id and style for the element you are inserting, use the extraAttributes property.

  • DID YOU KNOW?? - ABOUT DATE TIME CONVERTERS??

    Hi All,
    DID YOU KNOW??
    That the Creator IDE provides a set of converters that you can use to convert component data. If your input field is for numbers, then you most likely need a converter. Converters are also good for formatting dates, times, and currency values. The standard converters, which you can use are located in the Converters section of the Components Palette.
    The Date Time Converter
    A Date Time Converter Converts between java.lang.String values in your component properties and data types of java.util.Date. The conversion usually applies to the property of a component used to display values and to pick up values entered by users, such as the text property of a Text Field component.
    An example is binding a JavaServer Faces component to to a database column of type DATE. When you bind a component, the IDE normally identifies the data type for you and sets the appropriate converter when you establish a binding to the value property. However, you can also add this converter manually by setting the component's converter property.
    * Note: If you are using an Oracle database, use the SQL Timestamp converter instead.

  • DID YOU KNOW ?? - Number Converters?

    Hi All,

Converters are also good for formatting dates, times, and currency values. The standard converters, which you can use are located in the Converters section of the Components Palette.
    The Number Converter
    Is a type of converter that Converts between java.lang.String values in your component properties and data types of java.lang.Number. The conversion usually applies to the property a component uses to display values and to pick up values entered by users. For example, the Text Field component uses the text property for this purpose.
    The Number Converter returns a Long if possible (within the range [Long.MIN_VALUE, Long.MAX_VALUE] and with no decimals), otherwise a Double. If you need the converter to return a numerical type other than Long or Double, or you need to narrow the choice to a specific type. The other lists of converters to choose from include Big Decimal Converter, Integer Converter, Long Converter, Float Converter, Long Converter, Short Converter and Double Converter.
    When you bind a component, the IDE normally identifies the data type for you and sets the appropriate converter when you establish a binding to the value property. However, you can also add a converter manually by setting the component's converter property.

    I'm having problems converting from text input with a NumberConvertor back to text. I'm trying to take a pay amount, annualize it (x * 24), and convert it back to text for a database query. I got the following to work, but is there a better way?
    Input field is "grossPay", output is "apay".
    public String button1_action() {
    Number n = (Number) grossPay.getValue();
    float f = n.floatValue() * 24;
    apay.setText("" + f);
    return null;

  • Did you know? Events on Operations -- Att: Sunil Gupta

    Did you know:
    One can drag an event to onto some services (and there will appear inthe top right of the operation an event circule) 
    The Goal:
    So Im wanting to know a bit more about this and what scenarios are intended with this type of functionality.
    The Person:
    So Im hoping, Sunil Gupta, who seems to be the Adobe representative on these forums can assist in giving us a little 101 on this.
    The Result:
    The basics, the intro, some urls, references, some applications, perhaps even a simple lca.

    What I am actually refering to is the "track" view inside of the albums.  Track view exists in the "collection" option or the file drawer option on all Apple apps, iPad, iPhone, and the Mac, but the track option that once existed when looking at individual albums is no longer there on ANY device.

  • DID YOU KNOW?: Debugging with BC4J Tester

    Did you know that in JDeveloper 3.2, you can run the BC4J tester in debug mode to exercise your business components and hit breakpoints at the same time?
    Just do the following:
    [list]
    [*]Expand the navigator node for your Application Module, revealing its XML and Java implementation files.
    [*]Right-mouse on the YourAppModImpl.java file, and select Debug...
    [list]
    By default, it will debug using the "local mode" connection configuration. If you want it to debug using a difference configuration, just change the configuration name that appears as the 2nd argument in the launchTester call in the main() method of the application module implementation file.

    grin Thanks, Steve.
    Does this mean that in JDev 5.0 we're going to see an animated Steven Muench head in a tiny window in the lower corner, occassionally tapping on the glass to offer us hints?

  • [URXVT] Did you know about the contextual menu ?

    Hey folks,
    I've been using urxvt for some years now but just realized that if you select some text, and do a Ctrl+right click, you get a menu with things like copy to clipboard or rot13 (??).
    Did you know about this ? Is it a new feature ?
    Are there more hidden things like this ?
    I know about the Ctrl+Shift keycapture mode.
