Adding Actions in CS3

In CS2 I installed a bunch of actions I downloaded: copied the atn files to Presets>Photoshop Actions.
Now I have CS3. I copied the atn files to Presets>Actions, but they don't display in the dialog when I try to install the actions from the Actions pain in CS3. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

If you copied them to the right location they should be available from the Actions panels flyout menu(you need to restart photoshop to refresh that list), if they're not, try this method of moving them to the right location:
Select the actions that you want to install and copy them to the clipboard(Ctrl+C) then go into Photoshop, open the Actions panel and from the flyout chose Load Actions. Paste the files(Ctrl+V) in the folder that gets opened. Restart Photoshop and your actions should be in the Actions panels flyout menu

How to import actions from CS3 to CS4?

I had a folder full of self-created actions in CS3.
Now that I've installed CS4 I see they did not make the transition during install.
How do I get them imported into CS4?
I can't seem to find them in any Library folders, nor can I get CS3 to run any more now that CS4 is installed.
Any pointers for someone a step above neophyte ?
Vince

Actions are in the PS folder, hope you did not toss the CS3 folder.
From the actions pallet fly out menu select Load selections and navigate to the old PS folder / Presets / Actions or Photoshop Actions (depending on the version) and select the set you want to load.
Or drag them from the old folder to the new folder, they should show up at the bottom of the fly out menu.
This and the other presets are a good thing to backup, BTW !

Migrate actions from CS3 to CS4

Hi,
I would like to migrate my actions from CS3 to CS4. The CS4 is a new install on a fresh Windows 7, from the CS3 settings I only have a backup of my disk before the new install. Of this backup I checked the "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Actions" folder but it is empty. In my CS3 I had many actions, sorted in different folders. The other presets (like for curves or the channel mixer) are there, so I am quite confident that my backup worked correctly.
Am I missing something here and can I find the actions of CS3 somewhere else or are they gone for good?
Thanks and regards, Robert

Different folders as in different action sets in the Actions panel right? did you actually use the Save Actions command from the Actions panel menu? If you didn't save them then try copying this file: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings\Actions Palette.psp to the same location but with CS4 instead of CS3 in the path

Adding action events

Whenever i used to add action event, i used to do it like:
submitJButton.addActionListener(
         new ActionListener() // anonymous inner class
            // event handler called when startJButton is pressed
            public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent event1 )
               submitJButtonActionPerformed( event1 );
         } // end anonymous inner class
      ); // end call to addActionListenerHow can i add action events to these two buttons though?
    private JPanel createButtonPanel() {
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          JPanel temp = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2, 5,5));
          temp.add(new JButton("REGISTER"), BorderLayout.LINE_START);
          temp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 40));
          temp.add(new JButton("LOGIN"), BorderLayout.LINE_END);
          temp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 40));
          panel.add(temp);
          return panel;
     }

That works really well. Now for the register button, how would i get this register class to display?
package layout;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Register {
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
     String[] labels = {"Name: ", "ID No: ", "Username: ", "Password: "};
     int numPairs = labels.length;
    JPanel pan = new JPanel(new SpringLayout());
    for (int i = 0; i < numPairs; i++) {
        JLabel lab = new JLabel(labels, JLabel.TRAILING);
pan.add(lab);
JTextField textField = new JTextField(10);
lab.setLabelFor(textField);
pan.add(textField);
SpringUtilities.makeCompactGrid(pan, numPairs, 2, 6, 6, 6, 6); //(rows, columns, initx, inity, xpad, ypad
     JFrame frame = new JFrame("Nerkesa Pignatelli");
     frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     pan.setOpaque(true);
     frame.setContentPane(pan);
     //Display the window.
     frame.pack();
     frame.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args) {
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGUI();
}The only reason i ask this is because i followed the sun tutorial site to produce this register form and when it run's it,, it uses createAndShowGUI(); where when i have added different classes to action events before, i have normally used somthing like in my title class, new Title().setVisible(true);

Export CS2 action for CS3?

I have both AI-CS2 and AI-CS3 on my machine because of a new install of CS3 rather than an upgrade. This means any actions I had in CS2 aren't available now in CS3. I was hoping importing them wouldn't be too hard, but apparently it is. The only Actions file I see is for the defaults:
[Applications / Adobe Illustrator CS2 / Presets / Actions / Default_Actions.aia]
Can anyone tell me if there's another file like this for my customized actions and where it would be, so I can import it into my CS3 application?
Help much much much appreciated.
Rob

I was looking for the export option and didn't see it. Finally saw "Save Action . . ." and the light bulb went off. Why my eye missed this earlier, I don't know. Now if there were only a way to erase stupid questions on this forum . . .
Thanks, Kurt.

Actions in CS3 no longer records image size change?

We've recently upgraded from Photoshop CS to CS3.
A common task we're asked to perform is to resize 800x600 eps images created in Illustrator to 1024x768 jpg files. We typically batch convert the files through the use of an Action we'd created in Photoshop CS.
However, in Photoshop CS3, while resizing is possible on individual files in a step-by-step process, this critical resizing step of the conversion is not recorded when we attempt to create an Action for batch processing. For the time-being, we're relying on our old version of Photoshop CS for this process.
Is this step - resizing from the original eps file - no longer a recordable step in CS3?
For the record - use of the Image Processor feature in the Scripts menu is not an option. The image is not sharp. That process 'upsamples' a converted 800x600 jpg (coverted from the original 800x600 eps file) to a 1024x768 jpg image.
Thanks.

So, to clarify, you simply do not have the width and height boxes shown below?

Problem importing actions from CS3 to CS6

Hi, I have just installed CS6 and need some actions that I made in CS3 and earlier.
Info that I read on support sited said that I should be able to import them.
I have tried the edit import actions menu.
I have tried dragging the old action set to the new version.
All to no avail.
Tried the online live help and got no where.
What I would like to try next is to instal CS4 and see if I can import the action set from CS3 and then onwards from CS4 to CS6
However the support person could not give me a link to download CS4......
Any help greatly appreciated as I really need my old actions and CS6 is a useless to me without them!

You need to load them into Photoshop to use them. Their save files can be any where on your system. Once loaded they are copied into your user id Photoshop preferences. Photoshop load no action set on its one. The default set is in Adobe default set of preferences. This is the only set in the Photoshop default Actions Palette. The action set listed in the action palette's fly-out menu are the one in Adobe Presets Actions and perhaps ones you copied into there or save into a folder Adobe set up for you user id for the current release of Photoshop your using. My advice is do not save any of your actions sets into any Adobe folder. Instead save them into a folder like "My Photoshop Actions" load them from there too or drag an drop them onto Photoshop. Once loaded as I wrote above they get copied into your user id Photoshop preferences. And will be in the Actions Palette when you shutdown Photoshop and re open Photoshop.
Photoshop does not import actions you must load them one way or an other.

Adding actions to buttons...

I created a slide show in flash (I'm very new to Flash). The
slideshow
works great so far. I recently added some buttons to the
slideshow (each in
their own respective layers) and the buttons are Prev, Play,
Stop, Next. I
want to add actions to each of those buttons with the action
script. I want
the Stop button to simply stop the movie whenever you press
the button, the
play button I want to simply play the slideshow if one has
pressed the stop
button (by default my slideshow starts when it loads). The
next and play
buttons are obvious what they will do. I'm wondering how I go
about adding
these actions to each button. I know how to add them to the
buttons but I
just don't know the proper Action Script code. Can anyone
help me out with
this. Can't seem to find a good tutorial on it!

How do I transfer plugins/actions from CS3 to CS4?

I am working on a newer computer for my wife. Her current computer is Windows XP Pro with Photoshop CS3, her new computer will be Vista Ultimate with CS4, both with default installation locations. I know she has alot of actions/presets/plugins she uses; my question is...
How do I transfer all of her actions/plugins from CS3 to CS4? Is there a folder I can just copy/paste?
Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

For actions it depends how they are saved.
The best thing is to save them in sets on the old computer in a folder of your choice. They can then be loaded from a copy of that folder on the new computer.
Third party plug-ins should be installed again because not all will work in 64-bit and you may need to get updates.

Souci de script(action) de CS3 à CC

Bonjour,
ma société vient de passé de la suite CS3 à Adobe CC.
J'utilisai photoshop pour faire du multi-format de photos produits (7 format d'image pour le web, avec 4 vues différentes, du plus grand au plus petit, soit 28 images par produit) grâce à un script qui me faisait ça en automatique, et m'enregistrait les images dans le fichier de son format, ce qui me faisait gagner beaucoup de temps.
explication du script : dans les 7 étapes (7 formats), sur les deux 1er étape j'activais la "Zone de dialogue" pour pouvoir gérer la qualité (pour le format du zoom) et le poids pour le format suivant, et les 5 autres formats en automatique qui s'enregistrent dans les fichier.
Mon Souci vient que lorsque j'utilisais photoshop CS3, les deux premières étapes, après réglages des options, s'enregistraient dans les fichiers de leur format.
Depuis que je suis sous Photoshop CC, quand j'enregistre dans ces 2 étapes, il me donne comme chemin d'enregistrement le dernière fichier ouvert sur mon ordinateur et pas le chemin inscrit dans le script ... ce qui rend mon traitement d'image plus galères et les erreurs d'enregistrement plus nombreux.
j'ai essayé de refaire tout mon script en pensant que cela venait de la conversion de mon script CS3 vers CC, mais le problème persiste
Il y a une option à cocher pour ne plus avoir ce souci ?
Merci d'avance pour votre réponse

Ok, en voyant l'action, je vois où est votre "pain point"... Et donc, dans CS3, il ouvrait le bon dossier sans sourciller?
Ce qui m'étonne, c'est la différence du contenu du step "export" pour les deux premiers de multiformat, par rapport aux autres. (la localisation de l'enregistrement est au début.)
Je me demande, en attendant (*) si vous dupliquiez ces étapes d'export, en masquant le dialogue dans la première itération, mais en l'affichant dans la deuxième, vous devriez alors obtenir le bon file path, vous allez alors pourvoir réenregistrer, puis forcer une réécriture. De la sorte, le file path devrait être le bon, non?
(* car faire remonter l'info à l'équipe, leur faire dupliquer le problème, trouver si le bug est de leur fait, ou de l'API qu'ils doivent utiliser, puis sortir un correctif -pour CC, CS6 est moins certain prendrait du temps, dans le cas dans lequel ils peuvent le corriger)

Programmatically adding action to button

I have tried to programmatically add javascript to an Acrobat button, as follows (using APToolkitNet):
FieldInfo fi = toolKit.FieldInfo( "ButtonX" ,1 );
fi.MouseUpScript = "app.alert('hello world')"; //OR
fi.JavaScript = "app.alert('hello world')";
I run my code, and this script does get added to my form javascripts. The problem is, they are being added as being a type of Calculation, as follows:
//<AcroForm>
//<ACRO_source>ButtonX:Calculate</ACRO_source>
//<ACRO_script>
/*********** belongs to: AcroForm:ButtonX:Calculate ***********/
app.alert('hello world')
//</ACRO_script>
//</AcroForm>
When it should be (i.e. this is what occurs when you manually add the javascript):
//<AcroForm>
//<ACRO_source>ButtonX:Annot1:MouseUp:Action1</ACRO_source>
//<ACRO_script>
/*********** belongs to: AcroForm:ButtonX:Annot1:MouseUp:Action1 ***********/
app.alert('hello world')
//</ACRO_script>
//</AcroForm>
Can anyone help me???
Thanks

Since Acrobat supports 4 mouse actions, you will have to find out how to differentiate between the "Mouse Enter", "Mouse Down", "Mouse Up", and "Mouse Exit" actions. The vendor should have provided documentation or can provide the information.

Help with syntax: Adding pages JS CS3

I'm fairly new to scripting and I'm trying to write a script to add pages, inserting one after each existing page. We're doing postcards using a 4-up data merge. On the back of each card is the data merge/address (again, 4 to a page). Since the merge doesn't work on alternating pages, we want to do the merge first, then add the face pages afterward.
This is my code thus far:
var myPages = app.activeDocument.pages;
var myCounter = myPages.length-1;
for (i = myCounter; i >= 0; i--){
myPages.add(LocationOptions.AFTER)...;
On the line "myPages.add(LocationOptions.AFTER)..." I have tried every combination I can think of based on the CS3 Object Model that comes with Extend Script. Every one except the right one.
Many thanks for you help.
-Tim

Thanks, but I already knew that. This line from the ID Object model:
Pages.add(at:LocationOptions, reference:any, withProperties:Object):Page
would seem to imply that I can specify where to add pages. But I can't figure out how to make use of it.
To further clarify what I'm want to do, using a deck of cards as an analogy: Say I'm starting with all red cards. I want to add a black card after each red so that when I'm finished and you flip thru the deck you alternate between red and black.
-Tim

Help! Adding Text in CS3...

Hi, I am trying to put my CV into a Dreamweaver web page, by
copying and pasting from a word document.
I can get the font size, colour correct, but the tabs are all
over the place.
I fear I will need to add code for new paragraphs rather than
just spacing and tabbing the text to where I want it to sit. I have
looked at all the properties with Text but can't find anything that
works. Is there a way of doing this or will I have to go through
each line adding a snippet of code?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Help with adding action script to an order form

Hi - Firs time I'm on this board. Searched and didn't see
anything that fit. Adobe/Macromedia Support told me my form needs
an action script insert for me to gain access to a previous page.
I'm revamping an online order form. It's about 2 1/2 pages in
length. I find that I can't go back to the first page -- I'm locked
in the second one. On split screen the HTML coding shows there is
more than one page. Also, when I look at it in a browser the whole
page is there.
Does anyone know how and where I can put in action script.
I'm not an HTML maven so this isn't my thing. Thanks for whatever
advice you can give.
Best - ETide
