Outline Around Static Text?

I've been trying to change the color of some static text using Flash Pro 8, and I can't figure out why, when I publish the file, the text looks like it's outlined in white. Almost like the stroke is white but the fill is the color I'm looking for. There are no filters, and I've changed every option I can think of. Any ideas how I can make the text a solid color instead of being white with a colored interior? I appreciate the help!

The text may have a glow filter applied to it. Check the filters section of the Properties panel to see if anything is being applied. I assuming you're editing someone else's work and not your own, otherwise, you'd probably know if it has one.
Can you show a picture of it (use the camera icon to insert it in your post)?

Thin Outline Around Pohoshop Text

If I create text in Photoshop CS2 with a bevel and emboss, or some other looks, I get a thin white outline around the text when viewed inside Motion 2. I've tried importing the PSD file in numerous ways, I tried rasterizing the layer inside Photoshop but it stays the same. I rendered the movie to see if it would still be there - it is.
Here are some sample photos:

Thank You

You have a problem with alpha type.
Right click on your layer with text in Motion -> Reveal Source Media.
The Media tab should appear in Inspector. Change Alpha Type at the top of the list of parameters to Premultiplied-White.
That's all.

How do I create an outline around text please

hi all, How do I create an outline around text please
thanks,

You can see here that you can simply apply a stroke to live text by double clicking the stroke icon in the bottom left of the toolbar and selecting a color. I chose red.
If you select the text, then go to Type > Create Outlines, you get more options in the stroke palette, like whether the stroke is aligned to the outside or inside of the text object's boundary. The text below is outlined with the stroke aligned to the outside.

Help! How do I get rid of this annoying outline around text after exporting to a PNG

I designed a text document in illustrator and it looks great...in illustrator. As soon as I export it to a PNG, an annoying outline around text appears. What do I do?????

For text or 1-color items you can try the .gif format for sharper edges.
Try changing the color of your matte to what the colro of the background is. The image will lok bad, unless you put that on top of your background.

Grey outline around text

Hi I have designed a brochure in illustrator which has a black background and white text, with magenta headings. The printers are saying that there is a grey line around the text and yet I have applied no stroke and they also mention that it is not trapping? I have designed the brochure in CS6 and they have CS5 and have selected illustrator CS5 when saving it but I am not sure how to fix it.
Appreciate your advice.

#000000 is RGB (or web) speak. Literally translated to CMYK it would be soaking black rather than rich black....
Jacob, while the OP should speak a CMYK color space given this is the destination, if by soaking you mean C=100% M=100% Y=100% K=100% which is exceeding the allowed ink coverage, this is not possible in color managed programs if the color values are entered using the RGB color model. For example in a CMYK document using the RGB sliders set to 0 in the Color panel or entering #000000 in the hexadecimal input field of the Color Picker will result in CMYK values with the maximum ink coverage allowed as defined in the color space (profile) of the document. This can be seen in the Color Picker by checking the CMYK values when entering #000000 or in the Color panel by switching to the CMYK sliders after using the RGB sliders. Changing the document profile for different paper using Edit > Assign Profile will give different CMYK values for the same RGB values that take into account the maximum ink coverage because print profiles for different media are made also using densitometers.
And if the document is in RGB color mode but the destination is CMYK, the values will be converted at one point by software according to certain predefined rules and I don't think there will be ever a case where R=0 G=0 B=0 will end up as C=100% M=100% Y=100% K=100%. Soaking is only possible if entering CMYK values in a CMYK document and one way to ensure that the ink coverage will not be exceeded is for the very dark and black colors to enter the values using the RGB color model (sliders). Of course this will work properly only if the document profile is the same as the color profile of the printer (paper).

Feature Request: Option to wrap static text.

It would be really nice (in fact, demanded by my current client) to be able to have multi-line static text that appears as a paragraph. Unfortunately, static text is one-line and either stretches out the width of the entire dialog box if you let it or is truncated if you don't.
Present work-around is to force line-breaks, but that makes for some funny looking alignment, which may not be so "funny" when you see it on the "other" platform...
Thanks,
Rob

I faced the same issue today. I discovered the "wrap" property applies to static_texts as well as edit_fields.   It doesn't appear to be documented at all in the SDK API Reference, while it is documented in the SDK Programmers Guide as applying to edit_fields but not static_texts. Here's a test program illustrating its use:
local LrDialogs = import 'LrDialogs'
local LrFunctionContext = import 'LrFunctionContext'
local LrView = import 'LrView'
local f = LrView.osFactory()
local text = [=[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed feugiat quam nec mauris auctor dignissim eu sit amet sapien. Nullam scelerisque lacus libero. Donec iaculis lacinia viverra. Nulla suscipit viverra condimentum. Nam id diam metus, non ullamcorper justo. Curabitur mollis urna sed ligula molestie ullamcorper convallis nisl adipiscing. Suspendisse blandit lobortis risus non laoreet. Proin dictum, nulla a varius faucibus, enim elit pharetra tortor, a commodo mi nulla et leo. Cras in varius odio. Donec erat neque, bibendum at elementum sit amet, tincidunt a nunc. Donec tincidunt aliquet libero non vulputate. Proin eget nibh ante. Curabitur tincidunt felis quis turpis.]=]
LrFunctionContext.callWithContext ("test", function (context)
    text = string.gsub (text, "%c", " ")
    LrDialogs.presentModalDialog {title = "Test", contents = f:column {
        f:edit_field {value = text, wrap = true, width_in_chars = 40,
            height_in_lines = 10, enabled = false},
        f:static_text {title = text, wrap = true, width_in_chars = 40,
            height_in_lines = 10}}}
    end)

Grenerating Outlines creating ARCed text

OUTLINE
I have some text that has a graphical outline around it. This
text needs to be Dynamic for localization. However, I still need to
have the outline appear around the text. I was hoping that this was
something that would be built in to Flash CS3. It's not. Is there a
way to do this in AS?
1. Load text
2. Show visible text w/Outlines
ARCed Text
Is there a way to dynamically arc the text without breaking
it down into small movieclips or text fields?
j

It's in the Type menu...
BUT, outlining type for anything other than creating some sort of special effect is considered poor practice for a variety of reasons, including loss of editability, searchability, and loss of embellishments like automatic bullets and numbers, underlines, and paragraph rules that only work with actual text. If you feel you must outline text, and you are using CS2, see InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Converting Text to Outlines The Right Way

Encode results in "halo" effect around black text...

Hello,
I'm not sure where the problem lies. I am encoding a project and I have noticed a problem primarily around black text that appears throughout.

What Can I do to lessen the "halo" around black text?
Lathe

Like all heavy compression codecs such as DV, MPEG2 has serious issues with what we call high risetime pixel transitions. Reduce the detail level. You may need to add some preprocessing blur to help diminish the mosquito noise. Make the text slightly transparent. Add a nice soft drop shadow. If you're going to add an outline, make it softer than you think is necessary.
If you are merely encoding a file that you cannot change, you will need to study the MPEG2 compression discussions very carefully. Encoding is a dark art, loaded with uncomfortable compromises and difficult decisions that require lowered expectations. Encoding output is directly proportional to the effort put into programming new settings at every scene change.

I was just wondering what do the different color circles mean when I've located my iphone. So far I've seen a green dot with a green bigger outlined circle around it , a gray circle , a gray circle with a gray bigger outline around it , a real big green circle like the whole circle is dark green. I'm mainly just wondering can you tell if they are texting or using the phone at the time or if its on off or on vibrate is that what those different colors mean?

Is it possible to add static text to a TOC?

Hi, Gang!
My editor has suggested that I create an annotated TOC by adding a few sentences of descriptive text under each chapter title entry in the TOC. This static text would fall between the chapter title entry and the listing of subheadings within the chapter.
While I could create this static text as a final step, manually formatting the TOC around it, I would much prefer to create this text so that it survives updating the book (and TOC).
Is this possible? The only thing I can think of is creating some markers of some sort and storing the static text as marker variables and then somehow having the TOC pick up that marker and display the text in the appropriate place, but I'm not sure if that would work, nor how I'd do it.
I welcome any suggestions for accomplishing this.
Many thanks!

If you have the content in markers, you can do a list of markers. Be sure to create a custom marker type.
However, I do not believe one can create a list of paragraphs (a TOC) and markers together in one list. If you did both, your last step would be to move the marker entries into the TOC list. Of course, this is not preserved during book updates, but you would not have to rewrite the inserted text.

Transfer footage iMovie 08 to iMovie 06 HD & change outline color for text

I have a completed video that is basically all stills. I would like to transfer the stills in their current sequence and if possible with their current crop styles ie Ken Burns without having to start ALL over. Is this possible? Just downloaded 06 HD because I wanted more editing options that iMovie 08 seems to be lacking.
Also, how do you change the outline color for text in titles? At one point it switched from black to white but I have no idea how it happened... now its back to black.
Lastly, are we only allowed to place music exactly at the head of a clip or is there a setting I am unable to find that unlocks that "snap to" function?
Thank you.

Static Text to Strings

HI,
I am simply trying to obtain the static text from a field (BP Name on Business Partner Form) and convert it to string as part of a message.
                Dim oBPString As String
                Dim oItem As SAPbouiCOM.Item
                Dim oBPForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
                oBPForm = oApp.Forms.GetForm(134, 0)
                oItem = oBPForm.Items.Item(7)
                oBPString = oItem.Specific
                oApp.MessageBox(oBPString" additional text")
How do I display/convert current edit box items text to a string for such purposes?

Hi,
Use the String.Format method. Otherwise use "7" instead of 7
        Dim oBPString As String
        Dim oItem As SAPbouiCOM.Item
        Dim oBPForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
        oBPForm = oApp.Forms.GetForm(134, 0)
        oItem = oBPForm.Items.Item("7")
        oBPString = oItem.Specific
        oApp.MessageBox(String.Format("{0} additional text", oBPString))
or in one line
oApp.MessageBox(String.Format("{0} additional text",
oBPForm.Items.Item("7").Specific.string))
Regards
J.
ps: do not forget the points....

Creating a frame around a text box?

I'm new to Illustrator (I'm running CS4 on a Mac) and I'm creating what is essentially an organization chart. (It's actually something more of a decision tree, but that's not important.)
I've searched some other forums and I discovered the Area Type Options. I'm using that to create 6 pixels of inset spacing between my text and the outside of the text box. Now, I'd like to have a 1 or 2 point frame drawn automatically around the text box. One place told me to go to Object > Text Frame. However, when I highlight the text box and go to Object there is not Text Frame option (either available or grayed out).
It doesn't seem that I should have to manually go through the work of drawing a rectangle around every text frame.
Can someone point me in the right direction to have Illustrator make the blue (electronic) frame into a real visible one?
Thank you in advance,
Bflat Blues

Thank you so much. That did the trick.
However, I'm surprised how arcane this simple technique seems to be. I wanted to draw a straightforward org chart and Illustrator didn't appear to make it straightforward at all.
It's probably me. From what I can see, a new Illustrator user trying to use it for something this simple is like using dynamite to kill a fly.
I just need to play with it more as I'm working through exercises.
Once again, thank you.

Static text in ALV Report

Hi,
I have a requirement to create an ALV report which has to display some static text on each page. In the format below, the line item texts and sub total texts will be the same for each page. Each page displays data for one company code. The company code should be displayed on the top of page.
Line Items    Sub totals          Amounts
Line item 1                              Amt1
Line item 2                              Amt2
Line item 3                              Amt3
                        Sub total          1-3
Line item 4                              Amt4
Line item 5                              Amt5
                        Sub total        1-5
                                             Total
1. How to display the same item texts on each page? Can I use text symbols to avoid hard coding?
2. How do I get sub totals?
3. Display company code on top of page according to the viewed page?
any sample code greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MJ

Need to have static text on every page of a MS Excel report exported from SSRS

I need to place an object with a brief static text message in a report using SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2.
When that report is exported to MS Excel from Report Manager and viewed, this static text object must appear "once" at the bottom of every page without using "print preview."
Furthermore, it must appear only "once" on every page regardless of both the number of groups as well as the number of records in each group.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Mike

Hi Mike,
By default, Excel does not have a concept of a "page" in "Normal" view. So when we export the report to excel and open the file, Excel automatically hides the footers as they are displayed in "Normal" view. Since this issue is relevant to Excel, if we want
to see the page footer in Excel, we can try to switch to "Page Layout" view in the View Tab. Just as you said, they also shown up while printing.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong
