• masking and unmasking of the arbitrary nodes in a graph of scene with animations

  Could someone point me on how can I dissolve (or any other animation effect), an arbitrary (and its children) node in the graphic scene when I click some tag? And how could I show them, also with animation, when you click the label again?.
  
  I think using a label as hyperlinks have a boring rectangle that surround them. Is it okay to use a label for what I want? If a hyperlink is preferred, how I could hide the rectangle surrounding by default? (I think it means that the hyperlink has focus).
  
  Thank you!

  Use FadeTransitions to hide and unhide nodes.
  There is sample code in the Animation Tutorial and the sample of the whole:

  http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/animations/basics.htm#CJAJJAGI
  http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/Java/JavaFX/samples/index.html

  You can use a label with a mouse event handler set to trigger the fade.
  Although there are many other ways to allow a user trigger an event and just with the help of a label will not provide the user with visual feedback that they can interact with it.
  The control that would reflect more the State of the function of masking would be a ToggleButton control.
  What control you use depends on the look you want to achieve.

  You can customize the appearance of the focus of a hyperlink ring (or remove) using CSS.

• HTML5 animation plays really slow when put on the scale to fit

  I have a simple Flash animation which is quite large, 2048 x 1536 px, and I exported it to HTML5. Everything looks good in the browser, but when I DPS uses web content of overlay and choose "Content to adapt to the scale", the animation plays really really slow.

  Here you can see the original animation: http://www.copycat.no/presentasjon/2/

  When the scaling to fit the web content overlay time about three times slower as it should. What is the reason for this?

  I created the original animation basically as I did to make all sharp and vivid images on the Retina screens, and it works. Everything is great, apart from the animation plays much too slow.

  There is no difference in rendering between Adobe Content Viewer and published applications.

  Basically, you need to resize your content. This isn't a limitation of DPS, it is simple mechanics that you ask web control on iOS do. Not only has she animate, but there across the content as it goes along. This is not an efficient way of doing things.

  If you are publishing with several issue, you can create two distinct formats associated with the content web different resolution to cover the low - and high resolution Retina displays. If you request a single-edition you will need to create a version of SD and HD of your simple editing application, given that our article multi-resolution function does not support overlays multi-resolution web.

  Table and cell styles are objects. When you want to apply, you must set the appropriate properties that are 'applied the style of table"and"cell style ". So: «the game applied style table myTable...» »

  But in terms of results, you'll be probably happier using the commands ' apply the style of table cell / ' instead, which allows you to clear the replacements.

• feedback loop on the impact force

  Hello

  I use labview 8.5 and a card Ni USB-6221 to control the power output of an actuator and monitor the output signal of a load cell.  The actuator allows strength 50 Hz which is measured by the sensor.

  The signal from the load cell is basically a very narrow peak occurring at a 50 Hz.  I want to measure the height of each peak, average figure (maximum strength varies from 2 or 3%) and then use this data to provide a feedback loop to keep the constant force applied.

  [img] http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3067/3077344302_4b7bb5f2a3.jpg [line]

  I tried to use 'amplitude and levels' vi 'peak', for an average to exit mode.  However, this seems to give a result fluctuate widly which is useless for feedback purposes. I tried to increase the sample of this vi period with no luck.

  Anyopne there any suggestions on how to do this? I could do this using the detection of peaks of waveform?

  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  Hi John,.

  Thanks for your post and I hope that your well.

  To create a circular buffer in LabVIEW, you can use a shift register. However, for large number of data points with a large displacement to register on the side of the loop are stupid and impractical. This is why you must use a table, in which you update the value of the old with the new value, and you set the size of the table for the number of points you want to have in the buffer.

  I have created an example of a buffer in LabVIEW 8.5 - Please see attached VI.

  Also, if you do any static anylsis so perhaps consider using the functions of point by point, which no longer require the updated value to calculate the most recent average (for example). This saves because of the calculation table in its entirety every time.

  Hope this helps,

  Hi Tomasz,

  You need not exact match on the DRAM and flash. As long as the DRAM or flash installed is greater than the amount indicated on the software download page, then you're OK. From those indicated on the page that you linked to, sets of features only shown that you will be able to run are those who have 32MB / 8 MB DRAM/flash requirement.

  Train you in the IOS 12.3 M should be able to run IP/IPX/Appletalk, IP or IP/FW/IDS feature sets. In the train of 12.2 M, you should be able to run IP/IPX/AppleTalk/DEC, IP/FW/IDS, IP/H323 or IP.

  Good luck with your studies.

• Operating instructions for the flying Cubes?

  Hi, can someone give advice on how / where a tutorial is for the next idea?

  I would like to create cubes 3D (possibly with a hand-drawn aesthetic) flying in a group. The idea is that the Group of cubes swoop and flies like a bird.

  Is it possible in After Effects or is it more a cinema 4 d / 3Ds MAX project type?

  Thank you!

  You can create cubes in AE using 6 squares 3D solid or shape layers, parent layers for a 3D no and then fly the autour null in a 3D space. You can also create cubes and add textures in C4D lite, do driving around the animation in the 3D application. If you want to add the swarming of behavior like a flock of birds using certain automatic behaviors and you are on a budget, then using a 3D opensource as Blender (http://www.blender.org) application will give you a bunch of tools. I think you want to make a single object of that kind of looks like a bird with a bunch of cubes, some for wings and maybe a few others for the body, and then to rig the cubes on 'bones' so that you can create wings will require complete application 3D as Blender or the version of complete C4D because C4D lite has a very limited tool set. All 3D approach will require some textures or tweaking or plug-ins to simulate hand-drawn effect.

  If you want a look designed to hand and you have some rudiments of drawing and want to learn the technique of cell animation then you can hand draw cells in Illustrator or Photoshop or same æ and then doing 2D animation there. There are a few software solutions to make animations drawn by hand, including Flash Professional (which is provided with a subscription to the CC), but there is no open source apps I know dedicated to hand-drawn animation techniques. Commercial applications run from a few dollars to a few thousand. Good technique depends on your skills and your experience, the time available yo got work on the project and what you want the project looks like when it's done.

  The best way to make a cube from 3D layers must compensate for the z value of the anchor of the same value as X and Y, then rotate the multiple faces of 90 ° 5. For example, suppose you want a cube that is 600 pixels high. Here is a step by step.

  1. Create a new publication using the settings of composition standard square pixels (HDTV 1080 29.97 for example) which is quite long to include the entire shot, you try to create
  2. Select the rectangle tool
  3. Select the fill and stroke to use
  4. While holding down the SHIFT key to draw a shape of rectangle anywhere in the model
  5. Press U twice to reveal all the modified properties of the rectangle
  6. You should see something like this:
     
  7. Set the size of the Rectangle traced 1 to 600, 600
  8. Reset the position to transform Rectangle 1 0.0 to center the rectangle in the composition Panel
  9. Click the Add button to the right of the shape 1 layer content and add paths to squirm and make some adjustments to give your cube glimpses caught something like this:
  
  
• Press the a button to reveal the anchor point of the shape layer
• Make the layer 3D shape
• The anchor point must be 0,0,0 (Note: If you use a solid 600 X 600 300, 300, 0 is the anchor point)
• 1-way Rectangle as 600, 600, that you'll want to set the z value for the anchor point to the half of the width of the rectangle then adjust the anchor of layer 0, 0, 300
• Duplicate the layer of the form 5 times
• Select all 5 layers and press the r key to reveal the orientation and rotation of each layer property
• Let the shape 1 layer to the default rotation value
• Rotation 90 ° 2 layer shape in there, 180º 3 shape layer in there, 270º 4 shape layer in there, shape layer 5 90º in x, and 270 ° 6 layer x shape so watch the layers like this:


• Add a null value to the composition and make 3D null and name Cube 1
• The value null is now at the center of the global space of composition and 6 layers as a group are arranged around the null value
• Make sure that the Parent column turns in the time line (make it visible by right-clicking in the column name bar)
• Press r or u close the layer properties, and then select all shape layers and set the parent to 1 Cube and then lock the shape layers, so your timeline looks like this:
  
• Now, you can animate the position and rotation and adjust the scale of the null value to control your cube. Add a 3D camera and have fun.
  v
• To set up a herd of these cubes or build a body unlock all layers and start duplicating. [The best way to do that is to select all six shape layers, press Ctrl/Cmnd + d then Ctrl/Cmnd +] to move duplicates to the top and repeat. When you have made all the copies that you want to lock the camera layer, press Ctrl/Cmnd + a to select all layers, hold down Ctrl/Cmnd key and select all the controllers of null and shy then all layers form like this:
  
• Click the shy skin layers third icon from the left at the top) and you have only your cube controllers to animate. Now, you can size, scale parent animated and even these together to create your bird like this:
  

This should give you an idea of the creation of a bird in flight in AE. Personally, I would probably use Blender or the full version of C4D, then import the project into AE to the final composition. Mixer has some large shader effects drawn by hand and it is much more easy to rig and animate an element like a bird.

• KeyValue confusion?

  Good so I try to get an animation goes, and so far I have a rotation.
  
  
  
  http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/API/JavaFX/animation/keyValue.html
  
  

          animation.getKeyFrames().addAll(
                 new KeyFrame(Duration.ZERO,
                          new KeyValue(c.a.xProperty(), 0d),
                          new KeyValue(c2.rx.angleProperty(), 0d),
                          new KeyValue(c3.rx.angleProperty(), 0d),
                          new KeyValue(c4.ry.angleProperty(), 0d),
                          new KeyValue(c5.rx.angleProperty(), 0d)
                  ),
                  new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(1),
                          new KeyValue(c.a.xProperty(), 360d),
                          new KeyValue(c2.rx.angleProperty(), 360d),
                          new KeyValue(c3.rz.angleProperty(), 360d),
                          new KeyValue(c4.rx.angleProperty(), 360d),
                          new KeyValue(c5.ry.angleProperty(), 360d)
                  ));

  Now, if you all notice uses the property of Angel except c, I wanted to translate for test purposes. Now I am confused how do... I think that the xProperty() might work, but what about the second parameter... 0d, 360D is for the degrees, which I suppose that the computer knows that it is "endvalue" but do I do it for the translation? I have tried 0 to 100, but that has not worked...
  
  
  

          final Rotate rx = new Rotate(0,Rotate.X_AXIS);
          final Rotate ry = new Rotate(0,Rotate.Y_AXIS);
          final Rotate rz = new Rotate(10,20,30);
          final Translate a = new Translate(100,10);

  I can only find examples of rotation, but I found one that had to do with interpolator... Apparently, by default it is Interpolator.LINEAR but would not mean the translation in one sense linear? I guess I'm really confused about it, is there a tutorial or something I could watch, or someone give me advice on how to tackle KeyValues completely for many different tasks:?
  
  
  
  Thank you all!
  
  ~ KZ

  The KeyValue Builder you are citing takes two values: a WritableValue (for example property) and a value to which it set. Then
  new KeyValue (c.a.xProperty (), 0d)
  is a specification to set the value of the c.a at 0 xProperty,.
  new KeyValue (c.rx.angleProperty (), 360D)
  is a specification of the value of the angleProperty of c.rx on 360 and so on.

  A key frame takes a period of time (a time in animation) and a collection of KeyValues.
  Then

  new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(1),
    new KeyValue(c.a.xProperty(), 360d),
    new KeyValue(c2.rx.angleProperty(), 360d),
    ...
  )
  

  means that the frame of the animation to 1 second will have the xProperty c.a on 360 and the 360 value angleProperty c2.rx.

  In your example, you specify keyframes for 0 and 1 second; the default animation will use a linear interpolator to calculate the values of the properties in the frames between the two.

  As rx, ry and rz are defined to be rotations, the angle property representing the amount of rotation in degrees. If the animation that you create will start at 0 (the first KeyValue for each rotation) and make a full rotation (360 degrees) in a second (defined by the second KeyValue for each rotation).

  AC seems to be a translation; so the value of x is the horizontal translation in local coordinates (usually of the pixels, but of course if you have used a scale, for example, they can be arbitrary units). It would animate the node from zero to 360 units horizontally in a second. (Note that you initialize your translation with x = 100; so the start of the animation, he was jumping at x = 0 and then animate to x = 360 or whatever you set in the second KeyValue for c.a.xProperty ().)

  http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/animations/basics.htm#CJAFADFJ is a simple example to animate a translation.

  That's what sense it "didn't work"?

• Dynamic forms of JavaFX

  I want to create a form that dynamically shows/hides input fields.
  
  For example, I have a RadioButton control, which will cause, according to the selected value of a text box to display (using a translation & transitions melted). If the option button has no control below then they will be moved down to make room for the text box, if the value of "trigger" in the ToggleGroup of the radio buttons is changed then hide the text box (using transitions) and move all the controls until taking up the space of the text box.
  
  Help (or examples) will be appreciated.

  There is a nice overview of the Animation (timeline and Transitions) here: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/animations/basics.htm

  The basic idea is that a timeline changes the value of one or more properties on a specified time interval. You can consider a property as an object that holds a value. In JavaFX properties are "observable", which means that other objects can register to be notified when they change. Controls to respect their own properties, and if a change is made which means the control should be re-posted, it schedules a request to be re-posted. For example, the text box in the example I posted has a maxHeight property. Changing the value of the maxHeight property causes the text box itself to be notified, and it appears again. There are some smart logic in there to make sure that if a property is changed several times during a single "pulse" of the thread managing the actual repaints, that all changes are gathered in the last modified.

  So to animate an effect going down, simply create a schedule that changes the value of the maxHeight property, and the maximum height will be increased from a value of zero (leading to no space in your page layout) to the size you need. (The code I post below calculates the size is actually a bit problematic, has a bit of a hack to do.) There are some subtleties to worry about to to do with multithreading here, but class Timeline and other related classes take care of all these subtleties for you.

  The mechanics of how you create a timeline is as follows. You start by creating a bunch of objects KeyValue. Each KeyValue specifies a property must be set and give it a value. So, let's create a KeyValue specifies the text box maxHeight property and a value of 0; and an another KeyValue specifies the same property and a value that represents the final height, we want the text to be box. The KeyValues to create a sequence of keyframes. Each keyframe contains a KeyValue (property and the value at which it set) and a time during which reach the KeyValue. Finally, create a calendar with a collection of keyframes. Play() is called on the timeline, it sets all the properties, he knows their keyValues to 0 and then gradually are modified to meet each value specified at the appropriate time specified by all keyframes. In your case, it is quite simple: a keyframe for a duration of zero and a key value setting the property maxHeight to zero and a keyframe at the end of the transition (say 500 milliseconds) with a key value affecting the maxHeight value target. To hide the text box, simply play a timeline with the reverse key values.

  To create an animation "fade out", you can create a calendar that changes the value of the opacity property. Since this is a very common effect, there is a FadeTransition class that does exactly this. You build it specifying a node that has withered, and specify the value "" (opacity of departure) and 'to' value (ending opacity).

  To run two or more transitions one after the other, use a SequentialTransition and transitions to be executed in order. To run two or more simultaneously, use a ParallelTransition. I'll show a ParallelTransition that allows to run a FadeTransition simultaneously with the transition changing the maxHeight.

  The only tricky part here is to find what to set the maxHeight when the text box is fully displayed (i.e. the target value at the end of the transition). The default maxHeight for a text box (and many other controls) is the special value Control.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE. This means that the size should be calculated based on the requirements of the control. The real value, it takes the value is negative (I think-1), and animating from 0 to-1 obviously will not achieve the desired effect. The height is not actually calculated until the control is added to a scene and displayed in a stadium. Approach (somewhat ugly), so that we will take is to add the text box to the scene in the usual way, view the scene, ask the textArea for its height and save in a variable, and then reset the maxHeight of the text box. Note This will not work if you use FXML and you try to do this in the initialize() method (the text box will not appear in a stage at this point). In this scenario, you can either register a listener for the changes made to the height property and set a variable duration, the first, you get something meaningful. For a text box, it's probably good enough to make a reasonable determination for height (8 + 16 * number of desired lines, for example). The right text box displays additional lines if there is too much space and use scrollbars if there is not enough. For other controls, it can be a little more important to do things.

• Effect of slip through the mouse click

  Hello
  I'm new to animations and try to add little in my application.
  
  (1) whenever I am navigating to another page (by a click or a double-click of a node), I want to have an animation - old page to the left and removed altogether and new page will load on the right side.
  Something like a page in ios/android devices. But my request is not for touch devices enabled for now.
  
  Is it possible however javafx 2.x. If so, could you direct me to sample / api proper.
  
  (2) a click of a mouse can be mapped with gesture events. For example - I click on a link/button to the navigation and application takes as a drag event and therefore moves to a different page giving effect?
  
  Thank you

  (1) whenever I am navigating to another page (by a click or a double-click of a node), I want to have an animation - old page on the left path and get removed altogether and a new page will load on the right side.

  Yes, see:

  http://gist.github.com/1437374 (effect of drag Panel)

  (2) a click of a mouse be mapped with gesture events

  I don't think it can be done with the public API. One way to do this would be to add a filter on your component layout that uses the mouse click event and generates a SwipeEvent, but SwipeEvent has no constructor - so it wouldn't work. Is there an existing Jira request to create constructors for classes of public events so that this kind of thing could be done. Perhaps you could use com.sun classes or private impl_ API to allow this happen with JavaFX 2.2, but I would not recommend this approach.

  Also, it is best to place the separate issues in separate positions for ease of search, etc.

• See the reflection of changes made to the model to a background thread

  Hello
  
  I have problems when I try a chart reflect changes to graph data that are made in a task or a background Service Thread. To simplify things, I tried to change the label of a button several times in a background thread using a task. Here is the code:
  
  SerializableAttribute public class JavaFXApplication7 extends Application {}
  
  Public Shared Sub main (String [] args) {}
  Launch (args);
  }
  
  @Override
  public void start (point primaryStage) bird Exception {}
  primaryStage.setTitle ("Hello World!");
  last button btn = new Button ("Hello world!");
  Root StackPane = new StackPane();
  root.getChildren () .add (btn);
  primaryStage.setScene (new scene (root, 300, 250));
  primaryStage.show ();
  Task changeTask = new Task() {}
  @Override
  protected Object call() throws Exception {}
  for (int i = 0; i < 5; i ++) {}
  btn.textProperty () .set (String.valueOf (i));
  System.out.println ("label together:" + String.valueOf (i));
  Thread.Sleep (1000);
  }
  Returns a null value.
  }
  };
  changeTask.run ();
  }
  }
  
  What I observe is that the scene is displayed, but with no button above, then I see five times out of the background task thread and then the button with the label of the iteration (4) final. Why the No button when the ChangeTask is on? I expect to see the button change its label every second for 5 seconds.
  
  Am I missing something? How could I achieve such behavior?
  
  Thank you
  Peter

  It's all wrong ;-)

  Let's run through some of the problems:
  1. you have not created a new thread, you use just the task on the JavaFX application thread. To create a new thread and run your task on it, something like that.

  Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor().execute(changeTask);
  

  2. Once you actually start the task running code in its own thread, you should not change the properties or the things that affect the scene graph. that is, do not do this in the thread calling method:

  btn.textProperty().set(String.valueOf(i));
  

  Instead, to get the dynamic multiple changes at different times of the task (for example, the partial results), either, bind the text property of the button to the message property or the progress of the task and update the message and progress in your feed or use the model of partial results documented here: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/concurrent/Task.html

  3 looking at the JavaFX jira (http://javafx-jira.kenai.com) there is some bugs related to changing dynamically the data in a chart - it works most of the time, but there are occasions where it produces only results, therefore, even once you get your sample app button works, be careful when you try to apply this same method to the data in the chart.

  Why the No button when the ChangeTask is on?

  Because the task runs on the Thread of Application JavaFX and JavaFX system triggers not an impulse made until the Thread of the JavaFX Application was abandoned by user code.

  I advise to re-read the documentation for JavaFX 2.1 task:
  http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/threads/jfxpub-threads.htm
  http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/API/JavaFX/concurrent/task.html

  Another way to communicate the progress or the partial results of the user interface is the method of Platform.runLater, mentioned in the post from Daniel.

  Published by: jsmith on May 2, 2012 14:56

  I guess I should also mention that the method recommended (at least for me) to do this kind of treatment (for example, a loop with a quick update, followed by a period of constant of inactivity), would be to use a timeline instead of a task:
  http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/API/JavaFX/animation/timeline.html

• TableView problem of automatic update in points 2.1 and 2.2

  Hi, guys!
  
  Initial situation: I have a TableView with some elements inside. I update an element (a user object), I remove it from the table and then I put it again to the same index.
  
  The labour code in 2.0.2:

  // Gets selected item
  User selectedUser = (User) table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem();
  
  // Updates the User object to show the new data in the table
  selectedUser.setFirstName(fNameTF.getText());
  selectedUser.setLastName(lNameTF.getText());
  selectedUser.setRank((String) (rankCB.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem()));
  selectedUser.setPassword(passTF.getText());
  
  // Updates table data.
  // First gets the user Object index in the items list,
  // then removes the user object from the table list,
  // then adds the updated user object at the same index it was before.
  int userObjectIndexInItemsList = table.getItems().indexOf(selectedUser);
  table.getItems().remove(table.getItems().indexOf(selectedUser));
  table.getItems().add(userObjectIndexInItemsList, selectedUser);

  Here's my problem: in the version 2.1 and 2.2 (b06) this no longer works. The table does not display the changed data. I also tried getTableItems tableData (new FXCollections.observableArrayList ()), then table.setItems (null), then table.setItems (tableData), but it did not work.
  So, the problem is that the FXCollections.observableArrayList () (which has been used to fill the table in the beginning) don't relate more to the table when a change is made.
  
  Possible, but not desired collaborative:
  1. total re-creation of the table.
  2. total recreation of the tableItems (create a new observable by new objects).
  
  Any suggestions?
  I don't want to recreate the table data whenever a change is made, in particular because it is based on a database.

  JavaFX has a fundamentally different way of handling these types of updates, which can make it difficult to implement this in your current system.

  In short, how updates work in JavaFX of the ListView, TreeView, and TableView is the following:

  Each view type is made of cells. The number of cells is usually pretty close to the amount of visible lines and each cell could be considered to represent a line.

  Each cell is basically a small piece of the user interface that adapts to everything that should appear on the line given at that time there. The updateItem method is called on these cells to associate them with an underlying element of the ObservableList (the model).

  Let's say that your "Items" in the model are objects with a person's name. An implementation of the cell could make this as follows:

    private static final class PersonTableCell extends TableCell {
  
      @Override
      protected void updateItem(final Person person, boolean empty) {
        super.updateItem(mediaNode, empty);
  
        if(!empty) {
          setText(person.getTitle());
        }
      }
    }
  

  The example above will also have the same problem to update your code, otherwise, if you change the subject Person in your model of the cell will not reflect the name changed.

  In JavaFX to inform the cell of the modification, you must add a listener to the property 'text' of your person object. This assumes that a Person object properties are the properties of style of JavaFX. This is done like this (using a binding that uses an internal auditor):

    private static final class PersonTableCell extends TableCell {
  
      @Override
      protected void updateItem(final Person person, boolean empty) {
        super.updateItem(mediaNode, empty);
  
        textProperty().unbind();
  
        if(!empty) {
          textProperty().bind(person.titleProperty());
        }
      }
    }
  

  The foregoing will automatically updated correctly each change to the title property of the person.

  However, this means that you need to change your Person object to use the JavaFX style properties. You donot have always this luxury hotel. However, there are other options. You could for example only support a "changedProperty" in the Person class and have cells listening to it, something like this:

    private static final class PersonTableCell extends TableCell {
      private Person oldPerson;
      private InvalidationListener listener;
  
      @Override
      protected void updateItem(final Person person, boolean empty) {
        super.updateItem(mediaNode, empty);
  
        if(oldPerson != null) {
          oldPerson.removeListener(listener);
          oldPerson = null;
        }
  
        if(!empty) {
          listener = new InvalidatonListener() {
            public void invalidated(Observable o) {
               setText(person.getTitle());
            }
          };
          person.addListener(listener);
          setText(person.getTitle());
        }
      }
    }
  

  Now whenever you want to trigger a "change", you call a method on the Person object that triggers a cancel event. All cells that are tuned to this person object will be notified and update.

  If you donot change the class of the person itself, you could also do this with a wrapper. You will have to experiment a little.

  Good evening

  I am creating a booklet using this online tutorial. http://MOS.futurenet.com/PDF/computerarts/ART144_tut_1.PDF

  I do not graphics in flash.  I want my flipbook to read like a typewriter, all I use is text.  I tried to make a text box, put two letters, to make a new image and add to that Word.

  Example:

  "You."

  Frame 1: Yo

  Frame 2: your

  Frame 3: is

  Box 4: lf

  I'm running into problems to make my text editor in line with the characters on another frame.  It would be great if I could click on the text area of 1 Frame in Frame 2 and add the text.  Repeat this process on frame 3 and 4.

  Is there a way that it is possible?  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

  Hello

  This can be done by using the new distribute to keyframes feature in Flash Professional CC. All you need to do is

  1. create a complete text on a frame tell yourself

  2. make a Break Apart (Modify > Break Apart) and group letters, but you mean 'Y' select 'o' and the group it(Modify>Group), select 'u' 'r' and group them as another and so on.

  3. now, select all groups and distribute to keyframes (Modify > timeline > distribute to keyframes)

  For more details, see interpolated animations http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/using/animation-basics.html#Creating distributing objects of keyframes .

  Thank you!

• with flash player 10.1 basic animation

  First of all consider it is good to start developing for 10.1 - it's the beta version?

  Thus, core animation used bt iphone/ipad with its underlying c language etc...

  How can we use cela for AIR android development all tutorials/blogs - google and nothing will still appear on the adobe site.

  This is supposed to be a revolution, so where is the info was hiding?

  Basically, it's the same core animation, the only thing that is new, is that you can select CPU/GPU everything by exporting to iPhone/Android apps.

  Everything else is the same.
