  • Suggestions for the development of a linear scale as sovereign

    I need to establish a linear scale, as ruler along the bottom of several images. For example, I may need to draw a vertical tick every 10 pixels. If only, I needed to do this for a single image, it's pretty simple: I would zoom tight, used a tent size fixed position some vertical guides every ten pixels, draw lines vertical, and then copy/paste/move/merge layer repeat the graduations. However, I need to do to 20 + images, each with different scaling requirements. I tried to do a large scale and then turn to "resize" to adapt the different images, but (obviously) the lines do not stay a single pixel wide or stay solid black because they are "compressed". I wonder if there is a way to automate the design of these vertical lines. And an additional complication, in reality, these lines should be drawn on the boundaries of integer (for example, each 10,57 pixels), so the first line is perhaps the 11 pixel and pixel 21. I'm not trying to be lazy; just try to work smart. How would you want to perform this task? Thank you! (I use CS4 11.0.2).

    The move (V) tool has a distribution of functions that become available when you have selected more than 3 layers.

    Create a tick on a layer and then duplicate (Alt + drag in the layers palette) layer as many times as the number of ticks that you have on the rule (you can also create an action for this). Move the last beat at the end of the rule. In Maj layers palette select the first layer and the last with graduations to select all those layers and then, in the tool options to move, click the button of "Distribute Horizontal Centers," (if you place the mouse over the button, it will show its name)

  • Need suggestion for the creation of «whispy» smoke

    Hi all

    I am trying to find a way to create a Cartoon whispy looking smoke. I played with Trapcode particular and that creates some looking very realistic smoke, probably too realistic.  I played with CC Particle World and also tried to paint the smoke and then the animation on with a mask and a defined time to reveal the original based on the mask.  Nothing to really approximates what I'm looking for.  Here is an example of original art from the customer:

    Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

  • Guard application launch at the start of the appliance, also need advice for the implementation of network methods

    Hi all

    I'm new to the development of Blackberry and I'm writing a relatively simple application to run on 7.1.

    So far the development was interesting, I managed to create my user interface using resources online (mainly this forum), but today I tried to implement some of the network classes that I need and now I just met constant problems.

    I use Eclipse SDK 3.7.2 (the one that comes with the plugin RIM)

    First question:

    I'm not sure what I changed, but today I noticed that whenever I start the Simulator (by sim 9360) my application is started during the initial startup process. I don't think he did this before, but to be honest, I wasn't paying much attention. I think it starts at the start of the device is because I put a breakpoint in the constructor for my class from the main screen, which is hit before the Simulator happens even to the point where it is ready for user interaction. In addition, once it is ready, if I press the BB button, I see my registered application.

    I don't have it set to automatic start in .xml descriptior enforcement.

    I started this application on the HelloBlackBerry sample, here is my main method for the entry of the application:

    public static void main( String[] args ) {
            appSettings = AppSettings.fetch();
            // Create a new instance of the application and make the currently
            // running thread the application's event dispatch thread.
            HelloBlackBerry theApp = new HelloBlackBerry();
            theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
            //openConnection();
    
        }
    
    
    

    As far as I know, this is the only entry point for the application.

    More code

        public HelloBlackBerry() {
            // Push a screen onto the UI stack for rendering.
            mainScreen = new ScreenHelloBlackBerry();
            pushScreen( mainScreen );
        }
    

    Here is the method of. my class AppSettings fetch()

        // Retrieves a copy of the effective properties set from storage.
        public static AppSettings fetch()
        {
            AppSettings savedSettings = (AppSettings) _store.getContents();
            return new AppSettings(savedSettings);
        }
    

    Some of this code that I wrote myself, the persistence store cause the launch of my car?

    I tried to reset the Simulator to the factory settings, no change.

    All applications initialized during the startup of the device and then closed shortly after?

    Part 2: Need advice for the implementation of functions of network in the application

    I need to implement some methods that will retrieve data from a web service, and I also need to send data to this service. What I've read, the ConnectionFactory is the way to go. I want my application to make a request when the application is open and can check on a set interval. I didn't know exactly how to go about adding another thread for networking, I understand that network connections should not be created on the thread main event, so I tried to do this:

    The constructor of my class that implements screen (ScreenHelloBlackBerry), I use the following to create a modal dialog box to prompt the user for a username, I also try networking wire in the same segment of spawning:

            public ScreenHelloBlackBerry(){...initialize fields and managers, add it all together...then near the end
    
    //This will open the confirm dialog when the application is launched
            UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                  public void run() {
                      openConfirmDialog();
                    //start connection - Possibly broken
                      ConnectionThread ct = new ConnectionThread();
                      ct.start();
                  }
            });
    

    I don't know if it's somehow OK to do, but it seems to work for what I need. I want a user who launches the application at the prompt, and if a user switch applications, when they come back they wondered again (unless they close the app and reopen it).

    Here is my ConnectionThread:

    public class ConnectionThread extends Thread
    {
    
        public void run()
        {
    
              ConnectionFactory connFact = new ConnectionFactory();
              ConnectionDescriptor connDesc;
              connDesc = connFact.getConnection("http://www.google.com");
              if (connDesc != null)
              {
                  HttpConnection httpConn;
                  httpConn = (HttpConnection)connDesc.getConnection();
                  try
                  {
                      final int iResponseCode = httpConn.getResponseCode();
                      UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable()
                      {
                          public void run()
                          {
                              Dialog.alert("Response code: " +
                                            Integer.toString(iResponseCode));
    
                          }
                       });
                      httpConn.close();
    
                   }
                   catch (IOException e)
                   {
                     System.err.println("Caught IOException: "
                          + e.getMessage());
                   }
              }
        }
    }
    

    At the moment it has basically unmodified code from a sample that I found, I'll be retooling to meet my needs whenever I can make it work. I HAD this work to the point where, after the closed user confirm this dialog, a few moments later a an alert dialog appears with the 302 response code. I don't know what changed, but now it doesn't work at all, and if I try to scroll with the debugger, I can't past the httpCon.getResponseCode (). I've seen some mistakes earlier on "no record of service was set up", and I also had once a timeout exception.

    I'm sure I'm doing this wrong, but at the same time as I said WAS working, and now it is not. If someone has done this far, thank you very much for your time and advice are much appreciated.

    Also, should I try to start the thread of the network of the UIApplication class instead of the screen? There is currently very little happening in the class that extends UIApplication, do I spend most of my business logic out of the class of the screen and in the UIApplication class?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi all

    Just to conclude this topic for those who are interested, I found an excellent guide to the implementation of networks in applications of BB, click here for a link.

    About my application being started at the start of the simulator of the device, I found that on a device real this behavior is not complied with, and in addition, the behaviour seems to have stopped after uninstallation and reinstallation of my Simulator.

    See you soon,.

  • [^^ New here] Ask questions about the development of Blackberry GUI

    Hi everyone, im new here.

    (My English is not very good, but in any case I'll do my best to be understable).

    First of all, I'm going to introduce myself:

    My name is Díaz de Miguel (South America, Chile) and now I'm working with a team on what we called 'Santa Maria Mobile Challenge' here in my University (UTFSM, Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria) and we have an app for phones mobile Blackberry... IM in charge of the User Interface of the application... so, here's my question:

    I conceive an idea of how it looks at the application (we are new to programming in java and J2ME for Blackberry), I designed in Photoshop, and with a few readings, I realize how can I do this on J2ME BB.

    In my research on J2ME and Clases de BB I think I can do this with HorizontalFieldManagers and VerticalFieldManagers... tie them a background image for each FieldManager (of course I have to divide my original and more image "images") and connect (or trigger) behaviour when he focused...

    The idea of this is to make each component of our application classes:

    IE: Where it says "task 1", which blocks will be a HorizontalFieldManager with 3 VerticalFieldManagers, one with the «!» Icon, the Second bearing the name of the task, in this example is "task 1", and the third will be the other information... and perhaps on the third HorizontalFieldManagers 2 more...)

    Well well... the idea of this post is to know if im on the right way to apply for ugly or there is a better way... I accept all the comments... I want to win this contest.

    Thank you!!

    It really depends on your needs. If you're simply a designer it will probably very well work for you. If you have to do something custom or access code, then no, it won't go "end to end".

  • I need help for the upgrade of my current system.

    I need help for the upgrade of my current system.

    I have SBS 2008 with (Exch 2007, SQL 2005, Sharepoint, backupexec 2010 for sbs) licenses.

    I want to make the larger environment using the following:

    (1) apply Virtualization

    (2) apply to the failover process (clustering)

    "(3) the environment must support adding server terminal server, ERP server, exchange server, domain controller, backup manager.

    Storage 4) that supports Raid (1 and 5)

    UTM excellent 6) that supports (SSL VPN, VPN Global)

    suitable backup solution 7)

    (8) good antivirus for clients

    my questions:

    (1) can you provide me with a good design for this environment

    (2) should I choose what operating system:

    Microsoft datacenter or company

    I know datacenter provide us the unlimited VM but needs per processor license

    so if I have two Grouped servers I want to buy 4 licenses

    and just 4 VMs per company license... to say that we have two servers and maintain 8 vms so wat happened if 1 goes down... How can I migrate the 4 virtual machines on the server failed to another server group... ? should I buy enterprise license?

    (3) if I get the SAN storage for data... How can I save this storage... should I get another SAN?

    (4) how can I upgrade SBS stad single server (windows standrad) without losing the licenses as Exch 2007, SQL 2005, sharepoint.is it a must to buy an edition full std server or there is a way to upgrade (license wise, I mean)?

    (5) what about win2k8 license for VM:

    lets say we have physical that has windows license so that enough to have windows for VM or should I buy windows for VM licenses?

    (6) can I use backExec license for SBS with windows 2008 standard

    (7) who better to virtualization AMD or INTEL

    (8) hyper V or VMware?

    (9) what of Microsoft data protection Manager... is this good?

    (10) what virtual machine manager? What are the benefites keys
