Adobe CS5 - How can I place vector shapes behind a mask?

Hello,
I am creating a logo in Photoshop which will have rows of horizontal lines that form the shape of a hexagon.
This is what part of the logo will look like:
I used the Vector Shapes tool to create the lines, because I will need to re-size the logo without distorting it.
I want to use a mask shaped as a hexagon to cover the edges of the lines. Here is how I created the hexagon mask:
New layer
Polygon tool
Changed the setting to Paths
Created the hexagon
Went to Layer > Vector Mask > Current Path.
After I created the mask I tried to see if I could copy and paste the lines (still vector shapes) into the blank area of the mask, but when this happened the lines were converted from vector to raster form.
What is the best way to mask multiple vector shapes without changing them into rasterized images?
Here are the screenshots:
BEFORE:
AFTER:

Did you try clipping the two layers? Place cursor between layers, hold down the alt/opt key and click.

How can I place an image behind my header?

I am using a template for pages and I have been selecting their different styles of pages. They all have a image behind the header as a background...except one page. I would like to add it, but the image will only go in front of the header. I need to be able to see the header! :-) Anyone know how to solve this? Thanks!

I see the problem.
It works on the other pages because the things behind are Background Objects, but I see no way of making the foreground objects (as on the Mailer page) background objects. Background Objects are not supposed to exist in Layout mode templates.
I can see nothing in either the Wrap Inspector nor in the Format > Advanced options that distinguishes the two.
As far as I can tell Apple has done something in their coding but put no User Interface on it.
The only way around this that I can discover is to modify one of the pages where the objects are already Background Objects, to reconstruct the Mailer page by making them Media Placeholders then dragging a new image in place of the existing. Then it stays a Background Object.

How can I place photo icons on top of folders?

I put 4 folders in my dock. I need to ID them with photo - icons.
1) How can I place photo icons on top of 3 folders, so that they also retain
their folder shape?
2) And, to make one of them look like a folder that has text?
Intel Mac - Dual - Tiger 10.4.9
Thank you.

It sounds like what you actually need to do is amend the icon itself - something like Iconographer will help you with that. Open the icon of any standard folder, copy in your photo image, amend the result to your satisfaction, and save it as a new icon. Then apply that icon to your folder.

How can I make this shape?

How can I make this shape in fireworks:
I want some images in my website to have rounded corners. Im doing this by adding 4 divs with background images and absolutely positioning them, one over each corner of the image. The background images are PNGs with transparent areas. This works as the site's background is a solid color, so the rounded corners dont need to actually be transparent.
The issue im having is that the pixels on the curve need to be semi transparent. Id love to make this shape as a vector but I dont know how.
Thanks

Hi,
There is another simple way to get the shape desired. Create a rounded rectangle that is twice your corner size - both width and height wise. Now adjust the rounded corners to almost make a circle (pull the yellow corner handle towards the center of the side). Now click the corner and you will be able to toggle between the different corner types. You can now either use the shape as it is (if you need it for corners of a sprite rounded rectangle) or you can cut it up to get the desired wedge.

How can I place calendars in multiple calendar groups?

I would like to use a group for each of my family members but reference some of the same calendars from multiple calendar groups. Here is an example:
Lets say I have a calendar for school, sport1, sport2, activity, family, and work
I would like the groups to look like this:
Me: family and work
Wife: activity and family
Son_1: school, sport1 and family
Son_2: school, sport2 and family
When a group is visible, that person can see the activities in which they participate. When several groups are visible, though, only single copies of shared events would appear and shared events would only have to be entered once.
Is there a way to do this or do I need to place this on the feedback page?

Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

I tried to open Photoshop Elements 11. I got a message that components of the application are missing and that I needed to reinstall Photoshop Elements. I purchased the software by downloading it from Adobe so how can I reinstall it?

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

What are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?

Hello..
"what are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?"
I am very tired after done a week of R&D on this issue..
But i doesn't get any fair solution for this one..
I hope this is best option to place my issue here to get quick solution..
Thanks and Regards..

We are all users here.
There is no one here from Apple.
In order for you to develop and distribute content for the iPad, you need to become an apps developer.
Not sure where you sign up for this or who you have to call.
There should be a place on Apple's site that refers to a section of the site if you want to be an Apple iOS content developer.
It cost, I believe $99 U.S. to become an Apple apps developer. You'll agree to Apple's Non-disclosure rules. You'll receive Apple's app/software developers kit,and access to Apple's app developer site.
No one here is going to be able to help you.
Good Luck.

Please suggest how can we place chart series label evenly in Pie Chart of SSRS 2008

Could you please suggest how can we place chart series label value evenly so that it doesnot overlap with each other and user can view the data properly.
Please find the attached screenshot for the same.

Hi SubhadipRoy,
As Satish posted, the solution can achieve your goal. In addition, you can right click the Chart Series Labels and Series Label Properties, and then select Number in the left pane, finally select Scientific below the Category option. The data label may not
overlay. Or you can enlarge the chart.
