How can I apply a current fill color to a stroke, then adjust that stroke color's build?

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out a way to automate a simple, yet repetative process I do countless times a day. Ideally, I'd like to tie it to a keystroke to speed up my workflow.
I work on line art and colorways for footwear, so the way I'm coloring these shapes and strokes helps to break apart the different materials and pieces of the shoe.
While coloring line art, I work with Pantone spot colors as fills for closed path objects. I then have to manually apply that same color to the stroke, set the stroke to 0.5px weight, convert that spot stroke color to CMYK, and add 15% to the K value.
I found some code in an older post for applying the actively selected object's fill color to the stroke, but I'm having but I'm having trouble with the next step of figuring out how to take that spot stroke color and convert it to a CMYK build that I can then add 15% black to. Is this something that's even possible? I've spent about an hour playing with the script and have only had luck matching the fill color or turning the stroke white. Thanks for the help!

ok try this one, I added the spot color option
// make stroke color same as fill color + 15% black increase
if ( app.documents.length > 0 && app.activeDocument.pathItems.length > 0) {
    for (var a=0; a<app.selection.length; a++) {
        try {
                var sel = app.selection[a];
                var fillcolor = sel.fillColor;
                if (fillcolor.typename == "CMYKColor")
                    var cmkycolor = fillcolor;
                else if (fillcolor.typename == "SpotColor")
                    var cmkycolor = fillcolor.spot.color;
                var col = new CMYKColor;
                col.cyan = cmkycolor.cyan;
                col.magenta = cmkycolor.magenta;
                col.yellow = cmkycolor.yellow;
                var black = cmkycolor.black + cmkycolor.black +15;
                col.black = black>100 ? 100 : black;
                sel.strokeColor = col;
                sel.strokeWidth = 0.5;

How can I apply a timestretch to different null objects and then use them to parent layers?

I am using several hundred stills which are held on screen for different lengths of time. Is there a way to create null objects with various timestretch values and then use them to parent my stills?
I'm trying to find an equivalent to the 'paste attributes' function in Final Cut Pro.
Thanks in advance

If you have movement on the stills you can set up expressions based on in and out points. That's what I do. I then drop all my stills in order into a comp then set the out point for all stills for the longest duration. I then set group colors for layers that I want to make different lengths, do a group select and then adjust the out points for those layers. When I'm done I sequence the layers using the keyframe assistant.
The other way I work is to use an audio track with markers for timing. I have an expression that reads the markers and sets opacity for the layers based on pairs of markers. The motion is also controlled by expressions. That's an even faster way to set up an animated slide show.
The last way I work is just to set in an out points for all layers, sequence the layers, use expressions to do the motion and then use time remapping on a pre-comp to adjust the timing of the slide show. All methods are quick and easy.
Here's a fly in bounce and then drop out fxx preset that will give you an idea of how expressions based on in and out point work for slide shows. You just drag the layer to it's resting position, apply the animatiokn preset and the layer flys in, bounces, and then drops out the bottom of the comp. Works in 2D and 3D space.

How can I make the current row in a different color in ADF Table 10.1.3

Hi all
in JDeveloper 10.1.3 ADF Table ,
How can I make the current row in a different color ?
thanks

And what exactly would "the component" be?
I tried the af:outputText, but it just creates a <span> around the value of the cell, and if I try the af:column it just won't use it at all!
Any suggestions?

How Can I Apply Color into my Datagrif

I Have a Datagrid and the data provider is from database. the
format is :
[No] [JobID] [TargetTime]
How can i apply a color into Datagrid if the TargetTime is
Overdue, can you help me.

May I suggest: Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Black & White, then use the Tint facility.
Personally, I often find it more handy (and providing more control) to use a Curves adjustment layer above all the others. Grab the curves of individual color channels and pull them this way and that to alter the color of what's underneath. It's not hard to keep whites white, blacks black, and give the stuff in between believable coloration.

How can i apply gradient...

I have a rectangular shape movie Clip (Size :130px X40 px). I
want to apply linear gradient on it using action script. Can
anybody help me how can I apply gradient on it.
Note: This movie clip is made manually. Not by using
createEmptyMovieClip method.

i already checked this -
MAKE A OVAL ON YOUR STAGE AND GIVE THIS INSTANCE NAME 'ovl'
(withought single quote) and use the code under
here i am creating two movie clips on stage --
1st is 'ovl' and 2nd one is 'mc'
But to apply gradient on ovl i have to use setMask method
like this _root.mc.setMask(_root.ovl)
i do not want to use SetMask... I want to apply gradient
directly on 'ovl'
How can i do ??????????????
// create emtpy movieclip
mc = createEmptyMovieClip("mc",1);
// set the constants for the gradient fill
// the colors
col = [0x000066,0x0033FF];
// the alphas
alp = [100,30];
// the ratios
rat = [100,255];
//this.onMouseMove = function () {
// we will make a radial gradient
// and make it move with the mouse
// first we clear the previous gradient fill
mc.clear();
// get the mouse-position
// the x-coordinate
x = _xmouse-200;
// the y-coordinate
y = _ymouse-200;
// set the matrix for the transformation
matrix = { matrixType:"box",x:x,y:y,w:400,h:400,r:0 }
// now make the new gradient fill
mc.beginGradientFill("linear",col,alp,rat,matrix);
// now make the shape to fill
mc.lineTo(400,0);
mc.lineTo(400,400);
mc.lineTo(0,400);
// end the fill
mc.endFill();
_root.mc.setMask(_root.ovl)

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

How can I save my current Firefox customization to install on a new Windows 7 installation

This is not asking for a problem fix.
How can I save my current Firefox 3.6 customization, toolbar set-up, plug-ins, add-ons, etc. to a file or files so I can install it, pre-customized, after I do a re-format and clean install of a new Windows 7 operating system?
I am currently in Windows Vista.
I'm just trying to make it so I don't have to re-customize everything I already have done by doing a fresh installation of Firefox.
Or can I just save the existing Mozilla Firefox program folder and then drag and drop it into the new programs folder in Windows 7?
Thanks,
numetro

A couple of links that can help with this, [[Backing up your information]] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]. The second one includes a link to a free utility that can make this easier.
Just saving the progams folder will not work, the user data is stored elsewhere.

How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

jhb3243
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
In the case of this theoretical lower third to be applied to more than one title at a time
a. Is there text in the lower third besides a graphic of some kind?
b. Are all the titles to which this lower third is to be applied all together on the Timeline or scattered?
If no text in lower third and titles all together, then, with text titles on Video 1 and lower third on Video 2, drag out the lower third to cover the length of the text titles on Video 1.
I do not find "lower third" title files to be in the same category as certain effects where the Copy and "Paste Attributes" or "Paste Effects and Adjustments" lend themselves so well.
Let us see what others have to say about all this. I will continue to experiment with what you seek and how you would prefer to get there. I am not optimistic but I will try.
Thanks.

How can I return the current Date in Java?

I am new to Java, and basically I want to know how I can return the current date as a variable, so for example, I have declared the following date variable
private java.util.Date currentDate;How can I return the current date, do I have to write a method? To be more specific, I need to write a setMethod, that simply returns the current Date in Java.
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

If all you want is a date for printing or displaying, the easiest way is to use Date as shown below. If you need something more complex, look at the Calendar API.
import java.util.Date;
class DateEx
     public static void main(String args[])
          Date now = new Date();
          System.out.println(now);
}
