I want to create a motion of electrons moving along a wire in create js Adobe animate, have tried some other Js providers but it either too complicated for my needs or a bit costly for a small project.The code I am using is below:
createjs.MotionGuidePlugin.install();
Using a Motion Guide
createjs.Tween.get(target2&target1).to({guide:{ path:[0,0, 0,400,400,400, 600,100,0,0] }},7000);
// Visualizing the line
graphics.moveTo(0,0).curveTo(0,200,200,200).curveTo(200,0,0,0);
This works fine for one object but to do many like electrons following a wire path does not seem to work,as it only allows one target on the path. Is there another way I can accomplish this, I am using Adobe animate CC HTML 5
Thanks all for your time

Ok so this question is actually in two parts.
I coded a video filter for VLC and I would like to add a control to the Video Effects panel on the OS X UI. So far I've been able to link my plugin the the UI by hijacking one of the existing controls, but this isn't ideal.
Now, if I open up the Xcode project (I'm running Xcode 6.3.1) and try to open the VideoEffect.xib file, I get the following error:
I tried to google this but it sounds like the only alternative would be to play archaeologist and dig up an old copy of Xcode 3. Is there any other way to be able to open this file and edit it somehow? I tried to look at the XML code but if I started to change that I'd do more damage than good.
The second thing I'd like to do is sending back values from the effect module to the UI. At the moment (by hijacking one of the existing sliders), all I can do is read a value from the panel with
config_ChainParse(p_filter, FILTER_PREFIX, ppsz_filter_options, p_filter->p_cfg);
p_filter->p_sys->i_factor = var_CreateGetIntegerCommand(p_filter, FILTER_PREFIX "factor");
and then, inside the callback function:
p_sys->i_factor = VLC_CLIP( newval.i_int, 0, 255 );
However, I haven't been able to write back the value. I'd like the filter to set p_sys->i_factor to a random value at start. This works (using var_SetInteger()), but it isn't reflected in the position of the slider in the Video Effect panel. I suspect I need to hack a bit deeper for that. Any ideas?
Regarding your first question with the xib-file. Consider downloading and using our forthcoming 3.0 code from git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git - it allows editing of said file without Xcode 3.
Regarding your second question, why would you want your video filter to interfere with the UI? This is not how the architecture of VLC works and there is no correct way to do it at this point. You would need to edit the core to do another global variable callback to ask the UI to reload the presented filter configuration.
Perhaps, if you give details about what your filter does and what you want to achieve, we find a more supported way :)
I'm evaluating Fine Uploader compared to various other options, specifically JQuery File Upload.
I generally prefer the Fine Uploader approach as it's more lightweight, compared to JQuery File Uploader which has dependencies on Bootstrap and JQuery UI.
However it's important to be able to resize images: e.g., a user may select a large file from their camera and this may be very large - uploading the full resolution photo may take a very long time. JQuery File Upload doe this.
Additionally we don't have much use for very high resolution files.
If possible (I'm aware some browsers may not support this), I'd like to be able to resize images client size.
Is this possible?
Fine Uploader does not currently have any native support for image manipulation. This is a feature in our backlog, but we have not had many users tell us they are interested in this. This is one of the reasons why such a feature has yet to be implemented natively. There is a case, #707 that marks the start of native image-editing support for Fine Uploader. It is tentatively scheduled for 4.0.
However, you can certainly make use of FileReader and Canvas to resize the image. You can then submit this resized image as a Blob to Fine Uploader via the addFiles API method. At that point, the file has been submitted and Fine Uploader is ready to upload the item.
Essentially, the steps you would follow to handle this specific scenario, before Fine Uploader natively supports image manipulation:
Provide your own file input element(s) or make use of Fine Uploader's file/folder drag and drop support to get a handle on some files selected by the user.
Use FileReader to read the contents of the image.
FileReader will provide you with a URL for the image, assign that to the src attribute of an img element.
Draw the img onto a canvas element. This is where the resizing occurs.
Grab the URL of the resized image from the canvas element (canvas.toDataURL(...)).
Convert the URL to a Blob.
Pass the Blob to the addFiles API method of Fine Uploader.
The intent is to take care of most if not all of this for integrators such as yourself in the future by adding native image manipulation support to Fine Uploader.
Hope this helps.
I want to create controls that lets the user decide crop area of a bitmap, in the common way, having four corners on the image. I saw that there is a sample C# app in the Microsoft site for this - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/showcase/details.aspx?uuid=bef08d57-fa4d-4d9c-9080-6ee55b8623c0
But I cannot figure out how to do this strictly WinJS. Do I need to create custom controls - if so how? Any sample code will help a great deal.
I have an example in my codeSHOW project. It's the demo called Rx Crop. It uses Reactive Extensions (which are awesome by the way), but if you didn't want that dependency you could probably just use the example to figure out how to do it without.
BTW, the codeSHOW project has a bug and a usability issue currently. I have an update in certification. For now, just make sure you select the Rx Crop demo on the home screen and then click See the Code. If you hit See the Code with no demo selected it will crash.
Do me a favor and rate the app. Thanks.
I have a project in which I would like to programatically create and render a 3d animation based upon input. I originally asked here on stackoverflow if Blender was right for the job, and the response was yes, but upon looking at the API, it says this:
Python was embedded in Blender, so to access BPython modules you need to run scripts from the program itself: you can't import the Blender module into an external Python interpreter.
I want to be able to create and render this scene without having to ever open another program like Blender. Is this possible, and is Blender still the right choice?
Thanks in advance!
At work me and colleague worked on a project that rendered 3d scenes altered externally. We used Python to modify/create scenes, and did the rending on server through the command line interface (no GUI).
You can pass a python script as an argument to Blender in the command line options to
generate your scene objects and do the rendering.
I don't see how you can render in Blender without using Blender.
You can use Blender if you want, obviously this is not your only option.
If you need to
create and render a 3d animation based upon input.
You can go as simple or as you complex as you'd like.
You can use OpenGL in your language of choice (C++, Java, Python, etc.)
and display the animation (with or without fancy renderings).
It's up to what 'render' means to your context.
If you need some nice shading(light, soft shadows, reflections, etc. - ray tracers basically), you can still show an interactive preview to your users and generate the scene
for a 3rd party renderer(like Yafaray, Sunflow, LuxRender, etc. - I've put together a short list of free renders), and show the progress to the users after they've chosen the external render option.
On a similar note, have a look at joons.

I am working on the PDF App for iPad and facing an issue: how to search a text in PDF and also how to highlight that text?
Yours is the same big problem I'm having. My understanding is that, currently on iOS 4.0, the main public API is CGPDF . It allows us to parse PDF, and with it we can search strings in it. See also this Quartz 2D document. It also allows us to render it on the screen using CGContextDrawPage. However, it's not yet possible to get the position of a text in the rendered image. (On OS X it's possible using PDFKit.)
So, I'm afraid that you need to implement the PDF spec yourself to get that info. I think GoodReader etc. is working very very hard to implement these.
I had the same trouble recently and then I found FastPDFKit. Have tested the package and it's working great.
