Adding Symbols and Underlining using FCP Text Generators

Hello:
I would like to add the © symbol to FCP text and underline text. How is this possible? Thanks.

Underline and scroll could be a bit tricky. You woud have to move two separate elements -the text and the underline generator together. I suppose you could nest them and apply a move to both at the same time if its just a short piece, it gets complicated when that has to appear somewhere in the middle of a longer scroll.
I prefer to make a still in Photoshop for scrolls and move the whole thing with only two keyframes.
You just need to make a Photoshop canvas that is tall enough to hold all the text. Photoshop also supports the underline function (in the Paragraph palette).
In LiveType, you can type a row of hyphens below your text and adjust the Tracking to squash them together make a solid line, then adjust the Leading value to move it into position.

Is there any reason to use FCP text vs. Borris 3D?

Is there any reason to use FCP text vs. Borris 3D?
Thanks.

boris is vector based, and the basic fcp text is bitmapped. What that means is that you can resize and reposition your type in the control tab with boris without any loss in quality. You cannot do this with fcp text. Also, I think the dropshadow, kerning and leading options are more extensive with boris. Not positive about this as I abandoned the basic fcp titler a long time ago.

How can I be sure iMessage is sending and receiving via WiFi and not using my text message allotment?

My daughter has a new iPad Touch and I have a 3GS with 5.0.1. She wants to send and receive a million messages from me each day day with iMessage. Right now, I have Settings>Messages>Send As SMS - OFF. With this current setting, can I be assured I am using the WiFi only and not burning my SMS allotment from ATT? Am I safe to restore Send As SMS setting to ON? In other words, will the default method of transmission of text messages be through the internet, when that service is available?
Without waiting for a $1000 bill from ATT for text messages, can I ensure I'm sending and receiving iMessages through the WiFi only?

Well, I just noticed that a shaded iMessage appears in the enter text window when sending to her iPod Touch and my messages appear in a blue balloon, with her replies are in gray balloons. When sending to someone with another kind of phone, the text entry window says "Text Message" and my balloons are green. I guess this is an indication that the iMessage system is working and I'm not blowing through my SMS allotment from ATT.
With these indications, can I be sure I'm messaging through the iMessage system, or the carrier's SMS service?

TextField ADS and not using plain text

Hey
Im using interactive forms and I have a problem using linebreaks. The InputField can only accept plain text. If I switch this option off, I get this error message "Node cannot be inserted where requested" when im pressing the Submit to SAP button to go back to another view.
Someone know what im doing wrong?

Hello Kristoffer,
is it necessary for you to use an input field ?
Why aren't you using a textedit field or textarea ?
kind regards

Adding Scrollbar and buttons to Dynamic Text

Hello,
I am trying to connect dynamic text to scrollbar and buttons. I did tutorial and Lynda.com and practically pasted the code in with my file names and for some reason it does not work. It says I have a "Access of Undefined Property mask_mc" Did I need to create a variable for this? I didn't in the tutorial.
Right now I have the dynamic text loading successfuly in 2 different places and I wantd to add the scrollbar. I put the variables on frame 1 code and then I put the actually load code on the frame where it is needed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks! Sandra
HERE IS CODE FOR FRAME 1:
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var textReq:URLRequest;
var scrollPercent:Number = 0;
var minScroll:Number;
var maxScroll:Number;
var targetScroll:Number = philText_mc.y;
var easing:Number = 5;
var scrollAmt:Number = 15;
var scrollDirection:Number = 0;
HERE IS CODE FOR FRAME WHERE TEXT LOADS:
textReq = new URLRequest("text_philosophy.txt");
function philosophyTextLoaded(event:Event):void {
    philText_mc.philosophy_txt.text = textLoader.data;
    minScroll = philText_mc.y;
    maxScroll = minScroll - philText_mc.height + mask_mc.height;

    scroller_mc.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(dragX,dragY,dragW,dragH));
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragging);
    stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, setScrollPercent);
    stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollText);

    else if(scrollPercent > 1)
        scrollPercent = 1;

    scrollPercent = (philText_mc.y - minScroll) / (maxScroll - minScroll);
    scroller_mc.y = (scrollPercent * (line_mc.height - scroller_mc.height)) + line_mc.y;
function stopScrolling(event:MouseEvent):void
    scrollDirection = 0;
textLoader.load(textReq);

down_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, scrollDown);

Hello again,
Maybe I am asking this question wrong. Instead of making you try and figure out what's going on in my file what I really need to know is how you would take this code I am attaching and make it happen on another frame besides frame 1 and it doesn't appear on frame 1. I think this may help me understand a little better.
Also another way I was thinking to get around this would be to pull in an external swf into the spot where I want this text to go because I can make the scrollbars and external text work when it is the only thing going on in the movie. Would this be a bad way to set this up? and also SInce it is an external movie would I have maintimeline issues with mouse/scroller control?
thanks! sandra

JavaFX 2.2 TextField and TextArea use black text-fill on select.

Two of my applications--one FXML and the other UI-coded on NetBeans7.1.1--both have a problem when user selects text in either TextArea or TextField when editing. When content word is double-clicked, the selection background becomes dark blue (dodgerblue) but the text remains BLACK. According to JavaFX-CSS reference the default for -fx-highlight-text-fill is WHITE but this doesn't seem to occur, assuming that "highlight" is the correct operation name.
I tried an explicit CSS statement: .text-medium {-fx-font: 14 serif;
-fx-highlight-text-fill: white;
-fx-highlight-fill: lightgreen;
} even trying to change the selection background. This also had no effect on selected text color or background.
Interestingly, other "selection" operations for a TableView or ListView cell work as specified.
I don't know the JavaFX build version. It came imbedded in jdk1.7.0_03 and was updated with "javafx-windows-i586__Vlatest.exe" download on May 2, 2012.
Please let me know if this is abnormal and, if so, how it can be fixed.

MORE INFO:
The applications and testing is now running on up-to-date platforms: jdk 7.2.0_u4, javafx-2_2_0-beta-b10, NetBeans 7.2 Beta, and JavaFxSceneBuilder 1.0 (which is now somewhat integrated into NB7.2).
The basic problem--highlighted text-fill color for both TextField and TextArea remains BLACK when double-clicked or selected draging cursor. This should be WHITE by default and the black text is almost invisible.
Another discovery is that the legendary CTL-Z does not work within TextArea or TextField. All of the other edit keys seem to be fine. My applications have a lot of edit functions so not having an "undo" function is disappointing. Maybe there is some API disclaimer as to CTL-Z being unsupported. Anyone know about this?

FCP text plain and bold

I use FCP text to create comments. I use cooperplate and plain. When I edit some of clips with text to correct spelling or changes. Font changes to bold-like even set up it is cooperplate and plain. How can it change? I tried to change to different font and plain then go back to my selection. It won't change to plain. Any suggestions?

I see... I already set all. I avoid to redo but for next time I will use Boris. I just test it. My problem is how do I know where is the right side end.
I set up like
3:14 Names
I will have to type many differents like
3:14 Modify agreement situation
or might be
Modify agreement
3:14 situation
any tip?

Anyone using FCP 7 with the new OSX Mavericks?

Has anyone updated to the new OSX Mavericks and is using FCP 7 without problems? Any plugin malfunctioning?

Nevermind I fixed it. Atleast I think I did, I just set my audio to 24-bit and 9600khz or whatever its called and it sounds clear now. At least I hope that fixed the problem.

Can you use a text field for email sender with E-mail button

basically i would like to use input information from the user when someone sends an email instead of the default which is to look for a third party e-mail program like outlook. I want to bypass that and possibly use a text field that has the user input their email. some people don't use outlook so it would be nice to bypass that somehow. Is there a way to send email without the whole outlook thing, like not needing a "sender" and instead require them to input email address. I just want to receive the pdf. I am using LIVECYCLE by the way.

Difference between Field symbols and work area for Internal tables

Hi,
In ECC versions we all know that we need to declare the internal tables without headerline, and for handling the internal tables we need to use exclusive work areas.
Currently i have an issue that we have been asked to use field symbols instead of work areas...can any one help me how to use the field symbols and also let me know how it will improve the performance of the program..
Thanks and Regards,
Kathir

Hi
DATA: WA TYPE ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
IF WA-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.[(code]
FIELD-SYMBOLS <WA> TYPE ANY.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
ENDLOOP.
Now the problem is you can't know the name of the fields of the table at runtime, so you can't write:
IF <WA>-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
Anyway you can create a field-symbols strcturated like the table:
[code]FIELD-SYMBOLS <WA> TYPE ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
IF <WA>-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
I don't know which are the differences for the performance between to use a field-symbol and to use a structure as work-area.
The differnce between the field-symbols and work-area is the field-symbol is assigned directly to the record, so u don't need to do a MODIFY statament to change something:
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
WA-FIELD =
MODIFY ITAB FROM WA.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
<WA>-FIELD =
ENDLOOP.
These two pieces of abap code do the same action, so probably the field-symbol improve the performance because it do an access directly to the record without to use an external structure as workarea.

Using intermedia text

Hello,
I'm working on a website at the moment which is cgi based and has an Oracle 8i backend.
On this website users can upload word documents etc into an knowledge base. These documents are physically held on the file system
What I want to do is to upload the documents to an Oracle table and then use intermedia text to search on these documents. I would like to avail of intermedia Themes & Gists and the "ranking" system it uses. In other words I would like the search to return something similar to the search results you find in Oracle Portal.
Any information on how to incorporate oracle intermedia into an existing cgi based website would be much appreciated.
thank you.

Hi,
For documentation see here on technet: products -> Oracle Text.
You don't have to load the documents into the database when they are already in the filesystem.
You can create a table with an entry for each filename.
Here is a sample script for FILE_DATASTORE with INSO FILTER (for filtering word and other documents).

Adding text to indesign pages with specific font ,size,and color using javascript

Hello,
Using javascript i am able to add some text to each page of an indesign file.
myNewText = "SOME TEXT"
myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.item(0);
tempframe = myTextFrame.contents;
myTextFrame.contents = myNewText + tempframe ;
But i want to specify the font used,size and color for that text.
When i try the code mentioned in indesign javascript scripting guide
myNewText .appliedFont = app.fonts.item("Times New Roman");
myNewText .fontStyle = "Bold";
nothing gets changed and font family already used stays the same.
How can i do that only for the added text and not for the whole content?I dont want to add the text to a new text frame I want to append it to the existing text frame.
And is there a way to specify font size too?
thank you

There's a mixup going on here. Let's see if we can sort out some of it
at least.
If you just want to add new text to an already existing text frame,
that's easy:
myTextFrame.contents += "Hello";
But if you want the new text to have unique formatting, it's a little
more complicated.
There are two simple ways to do it, I think:
1. Create a temporary text frame, as you have done, and add the text,
and format everything in there. Then move() that formatted text to the
end of myTextFrame and delete the temporary frame:
tempFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();
tempFrame.contents = "New Text";
tempFrame.paragraphs[0].appliedFont = app.fonts.itemByName("Times New
Roman"); // etc...
tempFrame.paragraphs[0].move(myTextFrame.insertionPoints[-1],
LocationOptions.AFTER);
tempFrame.remove();
2. The other option, is to add the text directly to your textFrame. But
if you want to format only that text, you have to store where the text
started:
myTextFrame = app.selection[0];
firstInsertionPoint = myTextFrame.insertionPoints[-1].index;
myTextFrame.contents += "New Text";
myAddedText =
myTextFrame.characters.itemByRange(myTextFrame.insertionPoints[firstInsertionPoint],
myTextFrame.insertionPoints[-1]);
myAddedText.appliedFont = app.fonts.itemByName("Trajan Pro"); // etc.
What you've done in your sample script, however, is to try to apply a
font to a simple JavaScript string. It won't work, but the way you did
it, it won't throw an error either, because in fact you've created a new
property of your string. (myString = "Hello"; myString.appliedFont =
"Times"; // myString now has a Javascript property called appliedFont --
but that's nothing to do with InDesign!)

In Earthlink WebMail when inserting an email address or weblink, the text no longer turns blue and underlines, and I can't change font colors. IE Works.

Whenever I try to insert an email address or a link to a website, I no longer get the automatic hyperlink (turning blue and underlining). Also if I try to change the font color on some text it either doesn't change from black or it changes to a different color. (If I try to change to red, I get dark green; change to a bright green, I get dark red; change to blue or yellow, I get black).
I tried removing and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Earthlink is clueless.
This all works properly using Internet Explorer.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?

Adding brushes and symbols to Illustrator CS4

I'm fairly new to Illustrator, though a long time Photoshop user, and I want to add some vectors I've downloaded from 123freevectors. (I'm on a Mac)
In Photoshop, I had no problem adding new brushes from other sources by just dropping them in Presets > Brushes folder.
I tried doing the same with Illustrator by dropping downloaded vectors to Presets > Symbols. Although they showed up in the library listing, the symbols were not correct. Ditto by dropping them in Presets > Brushes.
How do I load new brushes and symbols, and how do I know which library to put them in when what I've downloaded is just described as vectors with extension of .ai (some are .eps)
Thanks!

Plac3en the file in a document when it is placed in the document drag the art into the symbols panel same for the brushes panel and there you will have a choice of what kinfd of brush ou wish to make, you can also drag ity into the watches pamel to make a pattern fill. Y^ou can save the swattchges, bvrushes nd symbols as libraries for use in the future.
