Animation of the arrows with "tails" more

I am trying to simulate an arrow (more precisely, the tail of the arrow more more... not the head of the arrow itself) more and more.

The arrow head would go a certain way and would effectively a trail behind it that's its tail.

In the image as an attachment, there would be a white screen and then the arrow would be out of the bottom and follow an imaginary path, leaving the tail behind her.

Having a hard time finding how to pull this off.https://img.skitch.com/20120321-m6krmay1h1wqrucntfjadauk7w.png

It is not too difficult, but he needs a few layers.

Start with a model of square pixels, which is higher that you actually need.  You will nest in your main computer later.  Do a solid and make the shape of 'body' of the arrow with the pen tool.  Forget arrowhead for a moment. Apply the edge effect to animate the curved line.

Make arrowhead requires two solid: a solid square Palm to act as matte for the end of the race - stroke has a circular brush, and you will have to square OFF - and a solid with a mask of triangle, which is at arrowhead.  Copy the mask provide you in the body of the arrow in the position property of each solid.  Use the command from the East the long path for each, adjust anchor points and rotation if necessary, and then twist to adjust the timing of keyframes.

It's an arrow made.  Repeat if necessary.

  • How to replace the arrow with a graph on a TitledPane?

    The TitledPane has an arrow that changes state (turns) to indicate whether the component is reduced or developed. Is there a way to replace this arrow with a chart customized for each State?

    Most certainly. Everything in the controls is style-able in the CSS. The area you are trying to style can be addressed through:

    .titled-pane > .title > .arrow-button
    

    So you can specify images here, for example, or you can simply change the trajectory of the arrow by adding another > .arrow on the end below, I posted the all CSS style that is built for TitledPane so you can see how everything is style. You can create your own style sheet, copy and paste this in there and then begin to tweak things and see how it affects the appearance of the TitledPane.

  • Mac OS - problems with the arrows with drawing tools

    Hi everyone, I have a problem with illustrator cs4 on mac os 10.5.

    When I use the arrow keys to change the properties of the drawing of the tools (segment, arc, spiral, etc.), they change too fast.

    example: when pressing the arrow to increase the segments of the spiral, he adds too segments (like 5 or 6), I can't increase one by one...

    can someone help me?

    Thank you

  • Connect to the database with SQL * more: is TNSNAMES. ORA used?

    Hello

    We have a local database called DEV01 and a copy of this database in a data center. To be able to connect to both databases, the TNSNAMES file. ORA

    on the local database server (not the one in the data center) has the following entries:

    / * Entry for the local database * /.

    DEV01_local, DEV01_local. WORLD =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server01) (PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SID = DEV01)
    )
    )

    / * Entry for the database in the data center * /.

    DEV01, DEV01. WORLD =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server02) (PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SID = DEV01)
    )
    )

    When I connect to the local database server, I set the Oracle environment as follows:

    export ORACLE_SID = DEV01

    export PATH=/opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin:$PATH

    export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/9.2.0

    Now I start SQL * more as follows:

    Oracle # > sqlplus user/user

    SQL > select instance_name, host_name from v$ instance;

    INSTANCE_NAME HOST_NAME

    ---------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

    SERVER01 DEV01

    As the SID is on two databases of the same (DEV01) I really don't understand how Oracle decides which of the SQL databases * more connects to.

    Is it the entry in the TNSNAMES file. ORA?

    But when I start SQL * more as follows:

    Oracle # > sqlplus user/user@DEV01_local

    SQL > select instance_name, host_name from v$ instance;

    INSTANCE_NAME HOST_NAME

    ---------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

    SERVER01 DEV01

    or

    Oracle # > sqlplus user/user@DEV01

    SQL > select instance_name, host_name from v$ instance;

    INSTANCE_NAME HOST_NAME

    ---------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

    DEV01 server02

    everything is as expected.

    Does anyone know who is the chosen database when just to connect with 'sqlplus user/user' (without the @DEV01 or @DEV01_local)?

    Any help will be appreciated!

    Rgds

    Jan

    When you connect to the local database that is connected to the server01, you need only specify the sid in the environment, in this case, Oracle tnsnames file to connect, actually uses, it uses any of the listener.  It uses what is called a connection needed.  It is purely a side connection server, and as long as the sid is located in the environment resolves to a database running on that server, you will be get connected.

    When you connect using the @connect_descriptor, like you second case, then Oracle will use the configured naming, including tnsnames, methods to solve the 'real' database  In this case, the auditor is required to create the connection to the database.

  • Animations during the generation with Captivate3

    Hi team

    Hey, just got 3 Captivate and started using it more often as I would with captive 1 & 2.

    Then I'm just the boring stuff like taking pictures in the software, by dragging the scroll bars, highlighting with the mouse, etc., that (in caps 1 & 2) used to create the .avis that have been incorporated into the .swf when generated.

    It was great. But now, when I do that with Captivate3, it produces a bunch of other .swfs instead of the embedded view. Now, that a very well expect when (like me) you upload these to a specific product of tutorials that will only support a .swf file.

    Is it possible to get this working as it did with A2?

    Thank you very much.

  • Generator of arrow and transitions more for first?

    I'm in from Final Cut Pro, that I used for years to make videos. In these videos, I draw a lot of circles around things and reveal with a clock wipe (which makes it look as I paint them), and I also do the arrows (with a generator of Stibs arrow) I reveal with a cloth edge, which makes the arrows look like they're stretching to point at something. And so on.

    I'm just my first taste of first, but I don't see any generator of arrow, nor most of the transitions that I used. In fact, compared to the CPF, there seems to be a great lack of transitions in general for the first. Is it possible to add shape and arrow generators and transitions to first?

    I really want to use the first, which looks like a great video editor, but if she does not have the tools I need, I guess I'll have to go to Final Cut Pro X, which I really wouldn't do. First is a little like the PCF in many ways, so it seems familiar and I can see the skills, and, after Apple yanked the rug out under me by quitting Final Cut 7, I don't want really to stay with them if I can help it. I no longer trust them.

    Thanks for the advice, everyone. I will learn and use the first, all right, but now he just can't do things for my video tutorials, like generate arrows and circles and reveal transitions, things I can do easily in Final Cut 5, not to mention the lack of transitions in first. I'd stick probably with FCP 5 wasn't for the unbearably long travel times on my slow and ancient G5 computer.

    As for 'wanting features of FCP in the first', well, this elegant Stibs arrow generator I described was not a feature of the FCP - is a free plugin created by someone named Stibs for first FCP. accepts plug-ins too, I noticed, so where are you now, Stibs, when I need you? Where is someone who can give me such a generator of arrow? I'll buy it!

    I see that the generators for the arrows, boxes, emphasizers and all sorts of things is available for Final Cut Pro X, for example, the rippletraining.com in a plug-in called "legends". Their ad says: "legends is a X BVOT Final Cut plugin that puts the power of focus in your hands - add arrows, shapes, magnifiers, animated map of trajectories, speech and thought bubbles, lists of control and more for your video project."

    So, where is such a thing for first? I took a glance at the interface of final cut PRO X, and it seems difficult and complex compared to the PCF and first (clips are called "Events" among other things of hazelnut). I can understand and use the first after years of use of FCP, but I have to learn a new vocabulary and interface to use FCP X, not to mention spending $300.00 to buy the program.

    What I've seen so far from first looks great. For example, another thing I do often in tutorial videos is zoom and panning around on still images - to the thing "Ken Burns". 5 PCF, the movement pan / zoom is jerky, with sudden starts and stops and it is impossible to flatten them. But I see that there are ways to move smoothly and gently on the stills and make incremental changes in the speed of clips in first. Wonderful! But I'm still paralyzed in first by the tools of insufficient graph for educational videos, darn it.

  • How to create an arrow with a stoke?

    Hello

    It sounds like such an easy task, but I can't find an answer. How can I create a part of the arrow with a different line and fill in InDesign? I used the start of the race and stop options to create arrows and ended up by superposition of two arrows to get the effect, but I hope that there is a correct and more elegant solution. Thanks in advance!

    The best way would be to create in Illustrator - there capacity describing more elegant. Other than that, if you must do this in InDesign, draw the arrow with the pen tool.

  • Browse the tabs with keyboard?

    I have the Edit tab Actions docked at tab compile Errors, output, etc.

    I can't switch between tabs using the keyboard and not with the mouse? I tried the arrows with alt, ctrl, or shift, nothing helps. Thank you.

    You will need to use the keyboard shortcuts for tabs to switch between them.

    F9 is the tab stock. I know not offhand what other shortcuts are handmade, and I don't have Flash on this computer, otherwise I'd look. To find the shortcut, go to the window menu, find the item that you want the shortcut and look to the right of the text. This is where the shortcut will appear.

  • LabVIEW 2009 SP1 crashes when moving large selection with the arrow key

    If I select a lot (10 or 15) diagram components and try to move some distance with the arrow button, I'm often a program crash.  Because a reduced number of components seems to hang after a longer distance traveled, it looks like some sort of buffer overflow error.  I don't see this problem when you use the mouse to move selections.

    I checked to make sure I have the latest version of the video driver for my NVIDIA Quatro FX570.  I also tried to work with no hardware acceleration and no handset, written.  What happens on Windows XP SP3 with all current updates.

    It became so bad that I have to do a save as every fifteen minutes to avoid losing data.

    Why not use my mouse for all movements?  Because it is not as specific and not so easy to limit to only one dimension of the movement.   My hand is not as stable as it once was.

    I'm hoping someone will have a suggestion that will clear up this problem.

    As I have indicated, I had the same problem with 8.5 and just DID a new install of Labview 2009.

    Since it is possible that my three monitors configuration, which of course requires more memory video, may be at the origin of the problem, I am satisfied with workaround by dragging the objects closer to their final destination and then using the arrow keys.

    Three monitors are ideal for the front, block and help/Internet/probe damaged.  When I got to work in the field with a single monitor, I felt severely handicapped.

    You can consider the issue closed.

    Thank you for trying to reproduce the failure.

    Hello

    Yes, it will work.
    However, when you try to open something on the internet, it opens with the default browser.
    Method 1: You can make the default Internet Explorer browser and then perform the troubleshooting steps.
    Reference:
    Change the web browser by default

    Method 2: Since then, it was working fine before, you can restore the computer to a date when it was working fine.

    If online videos play fine in Internet Explorer and cause problems only when you play in Mozilla Firefox, you can ask your question in the Forums in Support of Firefox as well:
  • Export interactive PDF in indesign, with the animation of the edge to the SWF file?

    Hello

    I have an interactive pdf in indesign with animation, works very well when they are exported to the swf file.

    I need to use more complex animations that Indesign has, so I created some new features of Adobe Edge animate, exported save them as a file .oam and then put them in the Indesign file.

    If I use the Preview on the animation tab I see indesign animations and the edge, but if I export it to a SWF file is - this only animation to indesign working, and if I export to epub file is only the edge animation work.

    Somehow it is possible to export so that the two works of animation types. and it is possible to do it in a SWF file.

    I have Creative Cloud 2014 for both programs

    Thank you!
