A mask on a layer with Button compo drops the label

Hi
I think its a bug , when i create a mask over a layer witch
contains a button component instance , the label of this button is
masked by the mask while the button it self is displayed fine .
any ideas ?
thanks
ps : it does the same with any text field (static or dynamic)
unless i embed the fonts and then its displayed fine .

It's under: Stuff that makes no sense... To clarify I
uploaded a quick example:
embedFont
First frame has a dynamic textfield, "HelveticaRounded Bold"
as font family (you can change that to whatever font you are using)
and 2 lines of code:
_global.style.setStyle("fontFamily" , "HelveticaRounded
Bold"); // change the HelveticaRounded Bold to the font embedded in
the first frame
_global.style.setStyle("embedFonts" , true);
The second frame has a button component masked.
Hope this helps.

Masking a Solid Layer with an Effect

Should be easy, you would think.
I have a solid layer (white) with a radio waves effect applied to it. I've got the effect dialed in and it's what I want, but I want to mask off just a triangular portion of this layer, creating a beam shape (not eminating in 360 degrees.)
But my mask has no effect on the effect, if you know what I mean. I've tried inverting the mask and changing the mask modes but nothing works.
Isn't there a way of masking a shape layer with an effect on it?
Thanks.

Precompose or nest.
Apply the triangular masking to the nest.
Think of it this way, your'e making a movie of the radio wave effect then importing the movie and applying a mask to the movie.
You can also set Radio Waves to use closed but custom shapes as the emission source but that's often more trouble than simply masking a nested pr precomposed sequence.

6500 with SLB blade dropped the packets from HA device.

A weird behavior observed in 6500 with SLB blade. the topology is as below:
client--HA---6500 with SLB----server farm
The first Syn packet reached the 6500 with client MAC address as source MAC and can be forwarded to the server correctly. But due to HA vendor special behavior, the second Syn packet's source MAC is rewritten to HA device MAC address and this Syn is dropped by the 6500.
Is this a special feature for 6500? And is it possible to change this behavior?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
1, HA device is from other vendor. It works as transparent mode and the session will be processed by 2 blades in the round-robin schedule.
The first SYN is processed by the master and reach the 6500 with client MAC as the source MAC. the second SYN is processed by the slave and the source MAC is rewritten to the slave's interface mac. This SYN packet is dropped by either 6500 or CSM, not quite sure.
2, The image on the 6500 is as below:

Reports 6i with buttons that use the rwrun depreciated functionality

I have several reports that drill down to other reports.
I understand that this functionality has been depreciated with the Oracle Reports 10gr2.
How do I code hyperlinks to perform this same type of function - displaying the first report in PDF and then having the user mouse over and click the link so that a second report will display... I would like to use PL/SQL to code the links...
This was the code from the button that I was using previously to perform this task... (FYI - we generate our reports in French and English)
begin
-- Run the Service Requisitions for Service report
SRW.RUN_REPORT('report='||:p_path||'FCS707.rdf'||' destype=preview desformat=default paramform=no'||' p_service_id='||:p_service_id ||' statuscd=0'||' p_dialect_cd='||:p_dialect_cd||' p_path='||:p_path);
EXCEPTION
WHEN SRW.RUN_REPORT_FAILURE THEN
IF :p_dialect_cd = 'ENGLISH' THEN
SRW.MESSAGE(2,'Error Running Report.');
ELSE
SRW.MESSAGE(2,'Erreur à l'||''''||'exécution du rapport');
END IF;
end;
I have about 16 reports that use this functionality and need to find a work around ASAP. As part of our conversion effort, we are now generating our reports to display a PDF document within a browser.
Thanks in advance

You should be able to do something like you are doing in the srw.run_report, assuming you have the reports server running. You will choose a field or item to be your hyperlink on the first report. Give that item a format trigger like:
function F_cFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
srw.set_hyperlink('http://my_repserver:7777/reports/rwservlet?report='||:p_path||'FCS707.rdf'||'&destype=cache&desformat=pdf&paramform=no& p_service_id='||:p_service_id ||'&_status_cd=0'||'&p_dialect_cd='||:p_dialect_cd||'&p_path='||:p_path);
return (TRUE);
end;You can make the reports server call dynamic also, but I have made it a static, i.e. http://my_reportserver:7777

Create a DVD with buttons to open the .pdf file with adobe Encore ?

Dear all !
I would like to create a DVD or a CD-Rom support with an interactive menu and buttons which allow us to open some files in.pdf.
It will be a conference DVD with all presentations in. pdf, contact list in .xls file, etc.
Is it possible to create such a DVD with adobe Encore ?
Thank you in advance.
Sév from France.

You could look around for "eDVD." Going back, it was being developed by Sonic, but they dropped it because of issues with Vista. About every 6 - 8 mos., some little tid-bit comes out, that the code has been bought and someone is working on it.
Also, Encore CS5 seems to have added some interactivity elements in BD, but I have only seen some bullet points, and zero details. Since Jeff did not make mention of CS5, my guess would be that the interactivity might not have been what you need - or enough details have not been released yet for any of us to know for sure. The full details will be available very soon though.
Good luck, and hope that whoever did acquire the code from Sonic IS on their way, as this is an oft requested feature.

Will extending with an Express drop the throughput of an Extreme

I just bought a new Extreme base station and discovered that it doesn't have the range I need. If I buy an Express to extend the range, will I lose the benefit of the "n" throughput?
Thanks
macbook 13" core 2 duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

...so could I locate the AEBS in one place and use the LAN to connect the AE somewhere else? Would this mean I would "not incur this degradation" ie I'd get the "n" throughput.
Yes and yes
2. Is there any hope that Apple will come out with a new AE that is "n" compatible any time soon?

All my saved layers disappeared. Shows only one locked black layer.with red sripes

All my saved layers disappeared. Shows only one locked black layer.with red sripes

Apple changed the save behaviour several times in the past few versions of MacOsX - there is a good article about this:
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/os-x-mountain-lion-how-apple-rescued-save-as
The trouble is, you should (I know, not much of a help to you at this point) always create backups AND work with versions. So save many versions (x1, x1a, x2, x2a, etc), because when you work within one master file you run the risk of these type of accidents and there is always a tiny change your file becomes corrupt for some external reason. You never know. Disk space is cheap, losing your work is often a real hassle, and can become very problematic when dealing with clients.
So, save many versions, and make backups of your work. And never NEVER open your original files in any other software - always use a duplicate. You never know what that software might do to your files.
Anyway, have you tried searching for the file name on your mac? Maybe, just maybe there is a duplicate lying around somewhere with the layers intact.

CS4 eye dropper values disappear after grouping mask layer with next layer

Have an adjustment/curve with a mask (layer1). Under layer 1 is a second layer with just an image needing color correction(layer2). When I group the top layer1 with image layer2, the colour values disappear in the info pallette. Never did this in any other version of PS..... Strange?

Yes! I am confused too! But, no, I am positive of the approach as I saw it in use. Can you read a .psd image from an e-mail? (I'm really stupid about most things.) If yes, then I can send each step - otherwise...
Do these steps and watch the result.
Open an image.
Make a selection.
New layer via copy from the Layers Menu Icon (L1 - blank)
ON LAYER 1 !!!
CMND + New Layer Via Copy (creates ...)
L2 and it will have the marching ants outline of/from Background.
(Option+Layer Mask and the selection appears in solid black in the layer mask box)
NOTE: You don't have to create that blank L1 - you can 'just' from Background/selection CMND+New Layer and get the outline copied to L1(in this case). What I saw involved first creating a blank layer as above - really. The next steps, make the selection in L2 appear and the L1 disappear (deleting is cheating...)
Wish I had a clue
Is what I've done - so far - right?
How to make the layer/selection appear in L2.
Thanks.

Chris Cox: Fade a gaussian blur on a layer with a mask, who should I thank?

I remember in the past that it was impossible to fade a gaussian blur if it was applied on a layer with a layer mask with the link icon active, as the blur also affected the mask. (some sharpen filters also affect both layer and mask)
Now, even in Ps 13.0.1.3, I notice that it is possible to fade, both the layer and mask using the fade function.
I'm gladly surprised it had been implemented, as I felt reluctancy to do it in the past when I mentionned the issue.
It now makes a more natural and discoverable workflow.
Thanks to whoever implemented it, or corrected that bug according on how it is seen!

Not sure who made that change.

Hello. Layer masks aren't working with Photoshop CC... The brushes gave out, and now the gradients too. Anyone else have this problem?

Hello. Layer masks aren't working with Photoshop CC... The brushes gave out, and now the gradients too. Anyone else have this problem?
Will someone from Adobe please answer if this is a bug.. as I've seen other users post the same issue.
thanks!

I'm experiencing the same issue too. I can't see to use the brush in my clipping mask the same way. It works for a moment, then several minutes in to production it ends up crashing.
I hope this issue is resolved soon. It's definitely frustrating and delaying my production time.

Probelms with PS CS5 - Cant add a transparent gradient layer mask to a layer - please help

My company just upgraded us to cs5 on our macs. I was working along in photoshop & dont know if I hit something inadvertently or what but all of a sudden I cannot add a black to transp gradient to a layer mask. Ive searched around even saved out and re-loaded the gradients from my pc (which has the black to transparent gradient in the gradient editor & the process works fine).
Funny thing is that in the mac gradient picker, the black to transparent gradient is black and solid white but the name of it is 'black to transparent' in the editor. Ive tried
I guess my questions would be how would one make a transparent gradient, or how would one reset the gradients to default becuase every time i delete all the gradients the add a new .grd file from my pc, it still does not show the gradient.
Its amazing how such a small thing like this saves so much time and its eating me up that I cant get this to work
Thanks in advance, Mark

This is where I finally found the prefs.psp file. At least this is the way my Vista machinie is set up. Your "User" config may be diferrent from mine.
But, Thanks for the right answer!. My transparent layer is now only showing the faint gray checkboard instead of black.

Problem with Buttons/Form Fields in Acrobat PDF when created in InDesign CS4

So I have been working for quite some time on an interactive form for an internal client at my job. It has two major components, one is the side bar navigation, which I created using buttons in InDesign which link to bookmarks in the document. The second aspect is that I also created "check boxes" accoring to this video: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/cs4/articles/lrvid4434_ds.html
I have two major issues:
1. Whenever I try to convert my boxes to form fields in Acrobat it will not recognize them unless I save out 4 pages at a time (rather than the whole document).
2. I then have to combine the document and get multiple sets of bookmarks, and some bookamrks are corrupted (not working properly). Even when I try to convert the whole document some of the buttons are corrupted.
UGH tired of this project, I am really bastardizing the whole thing to get it done, but want to figure out the problem as this is an ongoing document that we will be using over and over again in future years.
I am attaching the pdf file--this is a pieced together one (saved out 4 pages at a time) (which I did do some fixes to to get buttons to go to proper locations) and the original indesign file (partial file due to size).
PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME!

Acrobat's Form Wizard is good but not perfect when creating form data from a PDF. I have never encountered Acrobat not able to finish the process of creating all form fields, but have encountered very slugish performance afterwards when there was a lot of forms, buttons, and other elements within the pages. And I would say, from your attached PDF, it is pretty heavy with content. I am going to suggest an idea, but I have not tested this to see if it would work.
In InDesign, create a layer for your navigation tabs, and a layer for your text with the check boxes. Create two PDFs from ID, one PDF with just your-nav tabs, the second with just your text with check boxes. In Acrobat, perform the Form Wizard on the second PDF and see if this will finish, the idea here is to reduce the cllutter for the Form Wizard to finish. If it does, you can merge the first PDF as a layer with the second to have a completed document. Again, I have not tested this theory.

Urgent help: How to remove the accumaltion when show movies step by step with buttons

I want to show the movie step by step by clicking the next
button. Inside each frame, many movie clips are generated
dynamically at runtime, and they can be played interactively.
I achieves the step-by-step display of those frames by adding
another layer with the action stop(). But I got one trouble: all
the movie clips from previous frames are accumalted. How to remove
the accumulation from previous frames?
For the continuous display of the movie, I tried to use
onEnterFrame() and change the _visible property of all the movie
clips to false in this function. But it doesn't work for the
step-by-step display. Once I click the next button, the movie clips
at the current frame just show very quickly, then disappear. What
should I do?
I need to fix this immediately.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
- zcx

you can use the removeMovieClip() method for those movieclips
added dynamically.

How do i take one layer with multiple selections...

how do i take one layer with multiple selections and make those selections their own layer?

Yes sir. It w was really hard to explain. It is discontiguous segments that are separated by transparent areas. And I want those non transparent areas to be on their own layer. I have a photo shop file that has a bunch of buttons on them and they are on a transparent background. It is one layer. I want to select all the buttons and put them on their own layers. I can do this manually by selecting a button and cmd Just to a new layer, but when I have 200 buttons it is a daunting task.

How can i create a button with richText display instead of label

Hi All,
I'm trying to create a button that will look exactly as the regular spark button but will have more than one color in his label (Like attached 'buttonPic.jpg')
I have tried to create a new button skin and new button component that will replace the label text and will to the job, but still it looks like the button original class overides the richText definitions. (Code attached)
Maybe there is other solution?
This is my extra code in the MyButtonSkin
 
 
 <s:Label id="labelDisplay"
 visible="false">
 </s:Label>
 <s:RichText id="exLabelDisplay"
 color="0x900000"
 textFlow="{TextConverter.importToFlow(htmlTextAsHTML, TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT)}"
