• Export to CS3-mpeg2-dvd files

  Hi and thanks for your help on this...

  I just exported since media encoder cs3, a clip of 90 s of graphics and sound to a project that is set up for avi type 2 dv ntsc 720x480i, lower field first in high dvd quality mpeg2, dolby... I changed to pcm dolby and went from 4 to 5 and let quality bitrate default values...

  It generated 4 files with these extensions:

  M2V

  M2v.xmpses

  WAV

  XMP

  When I double click on files support classic m2v opens the file and play and it is superb and the sound is good.

  When I file in gspot m2v file it says it's a video file (without audio).

  I will burn a DVD later and am new to this... so I'm not really used to the types of programs to create DVD file require for the BEST dvd quality... and was wondering... How are the related files (wav and m2v)... .by which another file generated and is - it normal to expect a DVD program created to recognize (apparently demuxed during export?) audio and video files.  Thank you!

  At the end of the day, it's bitrate, and depends on how much you put on the disc.  When I don't know how the menus will take, I like to leave again to decide the bitrates.  If I don't have much, I use a relatively high rate of CBR and can I export a soul or simply send again and set the bitrate there.

  Given that I don't have the encoder dolby in first, if I'm not going to even with an avi file, I do like you did: décimalisé export, so I have a m2v and wav.  the xmpses handles things like chapter information.  In most cases, you don't see a difference without these files, but if everything works well, keep them.

  In, if "import you as timeline" it will bring in the m2v and wav.  Some programs may require you to provide them separately and bind.

  Note that if you do a test with a very small file disc, you may need to key the disc with rom content to get a drive that will test correctly.

• SbRIO-9641 random indexing

  Hello everyone. Sorry for my question if it's too easy... I am programming sbRIO-9641, module LV2012 RT + FPGA + NI_RIO 12.0 and try to build program for memory. Compilation of this programm (pict) gives me a random result, and if I set the timer loop they show me random result in limits [0.160] too. What's wrong?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  

  
  

• Index random

  Hello

  I am building a website in Muse CC and I wanted to know if there is a way to have a 'random index page'.

  I would like it when someone refresh the page, or when someone comes to the site, the index page do not have the same thing every time.

  I have 8 pages. Only 5 should share the index.

  Is it possible to Muse or a plugin to download (musegain?) to do this?

  I saw a similar request, but it was for an image, not a whole page.

  Thank you for your help

  Nothing to do with the Muse. This must be configured on the server.

• Index of the property that contains an object in a picture

  I have 3 bays, structured way is the image for the animation label, and the other two contain the high and low values for the random damage Calculator (which works fine). There is a property called curAnim that gets value according to a random index in itself (a string, because it is an image tag). I must be able to set a property that will contain the correct damage to a high index values and low damage tables is the same index of the image tag. Here is a code:

  Switch (curType)

  {

  case 'atk ':

  curAnim = attackList [randomCalc (0, attackList.length)];

  if(curAnim == null)

  {

  gotoAndPlay ('punch');

  curTarget.damage (atkDamL [curAnim], atkDamH [curAnim]); Here I try to send the low damage and high values to the target enemy (and the damage function works very well)

  returnMe();

  }

  on the other

  {

  gotoAndPlay (curAnim);

  curTarget.damage (atkDamL [curAnim], atkDamH [curAnim]);

  returnMe();

  }

  break;

  To determine the index of something in a table, you can use the Array class indexOf method.

  theIndex = arrayName.indexOf ("frame_label_text")

• logic game: maze game

  Hi guys - I based my game on http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/practise-listening/sports-maze

  I wondered about the logic of game best to place objects in a table and their distribution in circles. There are many ways, and I don't know how to do it.

  I have the xml code and I'll put that in a table, so I can't continue from there.

  And here's another version. This time this connectors are highlighted when you click on the correct node.

  New class Connector.as:

• Array.length changes not really after the item deleted?

  Frame 1, I loaded 9 clips (pieces of a chart) and their names of the instance (piece1, exhibit2 etc.) are in a table, arrPieces.   In 3, I'm trying to remove them, but I discovered that I had a problem with my while loop.   I removed the loop and discovered that the problem is really that the size of the array does not reduce after that I deleted an item.   I could not find it in the documentation.  Is this true?  I do not suspect.

  That's what I've stripped the code in frame 3 down for:

  trace (arrPieces.Length);     9 as planned
  var whichPiece = Math.floor (Math.random () * 9) + 1;
  arrPieces.splice(whichPiece,1);
  trace (whichPiece);   as expected
  trace (arrPieces);   as expected
  trace (arrPieces.Length);   still gives 9 - should not
  Stop();

  Something obvious, I suppose, but I can't.   Help appreciated.

  Marion

  I don't know what you've changed things in, but you can still get the random index duplicate values, though that if you are splicing to the table, then it should not matter.

  I don't know what else is going on in your code, or if you really need to remove the elements in the array, but you might consider randomizing just the array and then read through it, from 0 to 8.

• Flash/Dreamweaver newbie questions

  Hello world. I'm a newbie, so please bear with me.
  
  I'm building my first website in Dreamweaver, but I want to create the home page in Flash. When the user enters the site for the first time, the homepage will play a short animation of my logo, and then the navigation buttons appear at the end. The buttons will host on working capital. However, if the user returns to the Home Page of another page in the site, I don't want the introductory animation to play repeatedly; I want the user to see just the static state of the Home Page, but with all the current navigation buttons and active rollover behaviors.
  
  So my questions are:
  
  1. I thought to build this page in Flash CS3 as my index.html page and, at the end of the introductory animations, using ActionScript to make the browser jump to a page similar in appearance, but without the introductory animation and save this page as home.html. The whole House all site links would point to this second file html instead. This sounds like a good way to do this?
  
  2. If this approach is reasonable, how could import Flash pages in Dreamweaver? For the index.html file, for example, I just name the file "index.fla" Flash and set the publishing settings to generate a file named html result?
  
  (I must confess that I'm still not sure that understand how to integrate these two applications when you create web pages with Flash).
  
  Thanks for all help!

  Tom,

  Food for thought: How do you incorporate a navigation of these
  buttons in the rest of the site? You mentioned that only the home page
  would focus on the Flash, if you plan to reproduce the functionality
  (some of them, in any case... non-Flashy things) with HTML inside of
  your site?

  > if the user returns to the Home Page of another page in

  > yet;

  To do this, you will need to use a little ActionScript to determine if
  or not, the user has already been to the home page. By coincidence, community
  MX has just published a tutorial on this topic today:

  http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=124BC
  (This is a subscription site, but this article is free).

  I wrote this article, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

  This could be a useful alternative approach, for sure.

  Yes, it is certainly a good way to do, because this means that the animation
  will play again for all those who visit your site after will disappear. The
  Code suggested in my article is only about a "play it once" approach.

  > 2. If this approach is sensible, how can import Flash pages
  > in Dreamweaver?

  From a technical point of view, Flash doesn't create pages, even if this can help
  refer to the content Flash in this way. Dreamweaver is an HTML authoring tool
  pages and Flash is a tool for creating multimedia content which is incorporated
  in the HTML pages. Of course, you can create some Flash content that fills completely
  a page, but you still have to deal with a "shell" HTML element

  Honestly, it doesn't matter what you call the Flash file. When it is
  the Flash content will be a published SWF file, and you use Dreamweaver
  to integrate your SWF (s) into your index.html file (and possibly your)
  file index2.html or home.html and home2.html files).

  Ideally, you should consider making your content available to as many
  viewers as possible. This means that from the lowest common denominator
  (HTML), then following the principle of "progressive enhancement" to improve the
  the appearance of your site with CSS, then potentially JavaScript (for
  those who have active JavaScript) or Flash (for people who have the)
  Flash Player plugin installed), and so on.

  If you Google SWFObject, you can find a freeware JavaScript solution for
  Flash presentation for those who with the plugin installed (certainly, there
  just wait that most people do) and for presenting "plain old HTML" to
  people who do not.

• Color sequence

  Hello everyone!
  A few days ago I postted here a topic to help me definine 4 colors and make them display randomly. The user derobinson send me this solution that works very well 'create an array that contains your predefined colors, then use the mathematical random function for a random index to use for your table which will give you your color defined at random. Something like this:
  
  var myArray:Array is ["0xFF0000", "0x00FF00", "0x0000FF"];.
  var randColor:String = myArray [random (3)];
  trace (randColor);
  
  So you should use the variable randColor everywhere where you set the color of your movie.
  
  OK, but randomly setting doesn't seem to be the best solution for my work, so I want to generate the colors on a sequence. But how do I do this? Any help? Thank you!

  Do you mean, for example, with our values for myArray above, how would you
  that he could use the first BLUE, then GREEN then RED (or the order you put them
  en) as opposed to the randomness?

  If so, then instead of using random, you just need to follow your index. For
  for example...

  var myArray:Array = [0xFF0000, 0x00FF00, 0x0000FF];
  var myArrayIndex:Number = 0;

  What logic allows you to define when a color change should would then
  include the following.

  myArrayIndex += 1;
  % myArrayIndex = myArray.length; This will keep myArrayIndex between 0
  and your length of array - 1 (final clue)

• MPEG2 missing randomly in SOUL CC 2014

  No idea why support MPEG2 is randomly missing from Adobe Media Encoder 2014? To get it back I have to uninstall and reinstall the product, so the question is repairable, but with suitable for 5 to 20 minutes time can be a stress wait. I'm working on a Win7 64-bit system.

  Thank you!

  If you have another app CC 2014 such as Premiere Pro, AfterEffects and so on, please try to disconnect (under the Help menu) and signature in your Adobe ID subscribed to these app.  Does that help?

• Embedded index is randomly removed

  Hello I'm using Adobe acrobat pro XI and I have a document with more than 1000 pages and im using the new embed feature to make searches faster. However after I created an embeded index it will be random are sometimes deleted (the dialog box shows that "the document does not contain an embedded index")

  Any help?

  Thank you

  A common way to lose an embedded index is to do a "save under" on the PDF file.

  This provides the PDF file with the feature of quick web display but the losses the index incorporated.

  Be well...

• Index of InDesign CS3 crash/quit

  We have a file that was created using InDesign CS3 on OS X with an index, but it is now crashing: If the text of the index is changed/deleted it crashes and closes. Even tried to remove the index pages real did the same thing. The file does not open at all in CS4 and crashes/closes unexpectedly that as well.

  We tried the following:

  -removed the index markers in the document and update overview

  -removed manually in the component of the index of references

  -remove all other pages other than index and have isolated the issue to something in the content of the index.

  There seems to be conflicting policies after checking.

  Everyone comes through what we need to use this file as a template for another, but are slightly paralyzed with this issue of the index?

  How embarrassing, it seems running CS3 on an Intel Mac, as well as it does on a PowerMac. But oh so much faster.

  So, in any case, the easy answer seems to be Pages > move Pages in a new document, excluding your problematic index pages.

  The other option to know is ID of Markzware file recovery service.

• [CS3] Indexing, order of sorting and spaces

  Hello

  Can someone tell me if it is possible to get indexing in CS3 to treat space as a character important in terms of the sort order. An example:

  If I have two names, say Cilla Black and Tony Blackburn and the expressions 'Black and white', 'Black Mountain' and the word 'Black' I expect to find the entries in the order

  Black and white

  Black, Cilla

  Black Mountain

  Blackburn, Tony

  Blacken

  In other words '< space > black' comes before 'blacka"which in turn comes before"blackb"and so on.  I checked the indexes in a number of books and they do this kind of thing.

  In InDesign, the themes come from in order

  Black and white

  Blackburn, Tony

  Black, Cilla

  Blacken

  Black Mountain

  So it seems to be ignoring the comma and space as if sorting

  BlackAndWhite

  blackburntony

  blackcilla

  blacken

  Blackmountain

  Is it possible to stop it short of a few very specific sort key values (e.g. black1 black2, black3) which are highly likely to be broken if I add additional items to the index?

  Thank you.

  InDesign sorts its letter-by-letter indexes while you want is word for Word - for details, see http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/sort.html

  Unfortunately, you cannot change this behavior in InDesign itself. But using the page sorter in this link, you can choose a strategy of the kind. This sorter, by the way, is a paragraph sorter, so if you have any subtopics that you would have to combine the topics and subtopics in a paragraph and then sort, then sous-sujets files. It is not ideal (and slow), but at least it gives you the desired result (or a very close, anyway).

• CS3 export for parameters mpeg2-dvd - happy as a clam-

  Hello

  IM using CS3...

  I want to export to CS3 in "Preset" mpeg2-dvd (ntsc high quality, which is set at 4 of the 5 on setting the quality slider)

  My images are 720x480i 29.97, 16:9

  The dvd is monitored on computer and digital television... so I think that I've become progressive.

  My flow in the preset are:

  min: 1.5

  AVG: 4

  Max: 7

  GOP executives m 3

  images n 15

  The exported file size is 1.4 GB.   It seems OK but not exceptional compared to playback from the timeline.  I was looking at my notes - to do export - but I am so happy (happy as a clam!)... .that I even managed to get a history of 51 minutes out of this original material (works and work and market, long story..., not to mention having probs with continuity)... as I said, I'm so happy with the product - I thought maybe there is some good advice re: export while I go for a few beers to celebrate!

  ..... I was wondering if you all have some suggestions to change my settings bitrate to give me a better export of quality... and I will burn then a DVD someday with this file exported.

  Stem

  Rod,

  Your flow parameters seem pretty weak to me. Try this calculator-bitrate: GOP & DVD-HQ Bitrate Calculator

• Index not not totally fulfilling in InDesign CS3 - Desperate!

  I work in InDesign CS3 and have created a book of 10 files.

  I went through every file and highlighted a number of party and you click New page reference in the Index dialog box.

  The part number then appears in the Index panel with the associated page number but when I click on generate indexes and ticked all the boxes and generate the index entries do not appear in the index is created, even if I can see them in the Index panel.

  It seems to be pages of information that are not.

  Can someone tell me why it does this and what I can do to fix this?

  Now, I've noticed that I'm going through the index and type in the information that the page numbers are wrong.

  I have the Index panel is open and check if each entry appears in the Index that appears in the control panel and there are missing entries in my Index and it seems not that some entries of a page are in, while others aren't.  Very strange
