Ai file to psd using actions/script

Hi, Does anyone know a way to turn an illustrator file in to a psd?
I need to end up with a layered psd with all the layer names taken from the the illustrator layers.
I also need the paths from those layers to be present as layers in the paths palette in the psd, ideally using the same names.
I suspect this must be a fairly common problem.
Any ideas, scripts or plugins?
I think it's doable with actions and or scripting.
Cheers,
Tom B

Thanks for the responses guys.
I'm doing character artwork and need to create the separate parts of the character in groups of layers.
Each of the body part groups contain 5 layers, with names like "outline", "texture", "shading", etc.
It's all very consistent and methodical and great if you want change the pose slightly or produce a Flash character from a digital painting.
The line art that comprises the body parts is kept separate from the shading layers so I can re-stoke the line art in Photoshop when the character needs to be drawn at a different resolution (line-weight is an issue for us).
Also the brushes available in Illustrator just aren't up to the kind of filter-riddled, messy, highly convincing digital painting I need to supply here.
Potentially I could create a very efficient workflow, a single drawing being rendered out at a variety of resolutions, in a variety of styles, all utilising my wonderfully natural-media style Photoshop brushes, with the bonus of easy import in to Flash too.
I tried the Export with layers method- worked for the most part with a few exceptions, thanks for the advice.
Keeping the AI file layers simple isn't a problem- I'm such a newb they don't get complex!
I don't believe it'll be a complete nightmare to accomplish as Adobe CS is supposed to lend it'self to just such a workflow.
I think I'll try exporting the AI file paths to the layers bearing the same names using actions, as there seems no other built-in facility in either app to do this.
I'd be interested to hear how one might use Smart Objects to the same end- they'd need to be a Smart Object that 's stroked in Photoshop, and editable like a normal Smart Object, am I missing something?
Will let you know how I get on. If anyone has any brainwaves in the meantime, please don't hesitate to post more here
Thanks,
Tom B

Help with Nav Bar using Action Script 3

I am a flash NOOB to say the least. Trying to teach myself. Thank God for YouTube! LOL! Anyway, I have build a Nav Bar for a site that has a sliding bar on the bottom of it that follows the mouse. The problem with this nav bar is that when you change pages inside the site, the slider resets back to position X/Y = 0 and you really don't know what page you are on for sure without me having to identify each page in the page body itself.
Does anyone know of a way using action script to have the URL of the page sent to flash and in turn use that URL to set the X and Y position of the slider to the appropriate X and Y of the button on the Nav Bar for the page the user is on?
I have heard of using flash.external.ExternalInterface but now for sure how this really works nor if I can assign it to a variable for reference inside the action script.
Any help would be appreciated greatly!!

The Flash Nav Bar is at the top of each page. But yes, when you click a button inside the flash nav bar it takes you away from your current page and loads a new one. I am trying to tell the swf file which page it is on so I can set the X and Y position of the slider.
You will have to excuse me if I am so noob that I loose any of your replies to this as just as Flash is new to me, so is the lingo.
Thank you for your help. I will research FlashVar but if you have any other ideas then I am open to them.

Using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

Thanks for your swift response.
That sounds like a good solution, but the code I have on frame 2 is this
timer = 0;
countup = function(){
timer++;
countupInterval = setInterval(countup,100);
If I added the same actionscript to frame 3 which has a dynamic textbox with a variable timer attached wouldn't it just put the timer back to 0? What I want is the last known value that was given when it was in frame 2.
I am thinking of temple run here, I am trying to caculate the total distance(set in the timer variable) from the previous try.
Hope this makes sense.

Increasing the speed for a certian frames in Flash Cs5 using Action Script 3

I have 60 frames I want to increase the fps value for frames from 20 to 30, and the remaining frames fps value should remain the same
Using Action Script 3 or Action Script 2
Thank you and regards

I have found a script online
Q: How can I speed the frame rate or slow it down when the movie is playing? For example, I would like to slow the frame rate from the default of 20 fps to 15 fps from frame #80 to frame #150. Then frame rate should speed back up to 20 fps after frame #151, (fps = frames per second).
A: One way is to use “interval”. An example of changing the speed of the movie from frame #80 to frame #150 is shown below.
Create a key frame at frame #80 and place this script:
var fps:Number = 80;
var intervalID:Number = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);
stop();
function advanceFrame() {
clearInterval(intervalID);
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+1);
if (_currentframe<151) {
intervalID = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);
} else {
play();
I have changed the values from 80 to 20 and currentframe value to 30
I get syntax error
at :
intervalID = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);
and
var intervalID:Number = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);

Button and Slider both are on diffrent scene.

How to hide layers or movies using Action Script

Hi All,
I am using a few layers and would like to hide a specific
layer using action scripts - I guess I dont mind doing it as a
movie clip too (hiding the movide clip).
Also I am interested in controling the final *.swf via an
external command to hide that layer or movie clip. How do I do
that?
Thanks in advance,
Steven

rsagi: Layers are only layers while you are editing the fla.
When compiled, layers are merged. I think the best way would be to
use movieclips as containers and hide the "container movieclips".
jlucchesi: from fl8_as2lr.pdf:
"The alpha transparency value of the movie clip. Valid values
are 0 (fully transparent) to 100
(fully opaque). The default value is 100. Objects in a movie
clip with _alpha set to 0 are
active, even though they are invisible. For example, you can
still click a button in a movie clip
whose _alpha property is set to 0. To disable the button
completely, you can set the movie
clip's _visible property to false."

How to deploy jar file in WLS using ant script

Hi,
Im trying to deploy a jar file in weblogic 10.3 using ant script and am running into the below error.
+[wldeploy] weblogic.management.DeploymentException: [J2EE:160177]The application at "/u01//RSJBObjects.jar" was not recognized as a valid application type. If this is an EAR file, please ensure the META-INF/application.xml exists. EJB-JARs should have a META-INF/ejb-jar.xml or corresponding annotations exist. If this is an exploded WAR, the name of directory must be end with ".war". RARs require a META-INF/ra.xml. A JMS deployment should be an XML file whose name ends with "-jms.xml". A JDBC deployment should be an XML file whose name ends with "-jdbc.xml". For other application types, please consult the WebLogic Server documentation.+
When i try to deploy the same manually from the console, i get a warning stating that WLS thought this as a library and hence proceeding to deploy as a library. After this warning the deployment continues and completes.
Problem is when i try to deploy using ant, it breaks at this point.
Is there any means that we can deploy a jar to WLS using ant script. This has to be deployed as a library as other apps would be using this jar.
Im unable to create a ear file for this single jar file.
If there is any suggestion on can this be done, please share.
Thanks,
Vijay.

Hi Sunil,
Thanks for the reply, it worked.
Another doubt on the same lines. Now that the jar has been deployed as a library in WLS, when i try to deploy a WAR which refers to this deployed jar library, im unable to. I run into and error stating that the library is inaccessible.
I have to bounce the server and before doing that, i have to manually copy the library.jar from <WLS_domain>/servers/AdminServer/upload/ directory to <WLS_domain>/lib/ directory, once copied i then try to deploy the WAR, then the deployment goes fine.
Is there any means that this deployed library jar be made available soon after deployment and also to avoid copying the file.
Thanks,
Vijay.

Not able to convert my application file from mxml to Action Script

Hi,
In my mobile project I want to convert my application file from mxml to ActionScript.When I do this I get error and when I digged into the code I found that the error comes in preloader class initialize method as preloader property in System Manager class is null(line 2026 in SystemManager class).it actually represents the splashScreen class.When I tried to set the splash Screen the document says we cannot set this property from action script.
I know we have an option of action script mobile project but it doesnt recognise TabbedViewNavigatorApplication.
So how can I overcome the problem.

I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.

Why don't you use several layers with appropriate alpha properties, and move these layers according to the mouse events?

Moving files into directory using shell script

Can someone tell me how I move files into directory using *nix/linux shell script?
I have files which created from stored procedures using utl_file. The files name for example:
DKH_104_12345
DKE_101_42324242
DKH_102_32432
DKE_101_34553
Then I create directories automatically for example:
/oradata/apps/dmp/output/101
/oradata/apps/dmp/output/102
/oradata/apps/dmp/output/103
/oradata/apps/dmp/output/104
Using this procedure :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Xorganize AS
v_item VARCHAR2(5);
v_DirName VARCHAR2(50);
v_FileName VARCHAR2(50):='xorganize';
v_FileExt VARCHAR2(5):='.sh';
v_ID UTL_FILE.file_type;
CURSOR res IS
--find the directory name from table
SELECT brn_cde FROM vcr_brn_cde ORDER BY 1;
BEGIN
--used by utl.file funtion
SELECT PRD_DIR INTO v_DirName
FROM CR_SYS_PRM
WHERE CLT_CDE ='FIF';
SELECT v_FileName||v_FileExt INTO v_FileName FROM dual;
v_ID:=UTL_FILE.FOPEN(v_DirName,v_FileName, 'w');
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','@@echo OFF');
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','cls');
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','echo Reorganizing ...');
OPEN res;
     LOOP
          FETCH res INTO v_item;
          EXIT WHEN res%NOTFOUND;
          utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','mkdir '||v_item);
     END LOOP;
CLOSE res;
OPEN res;
     LOOP
          FETCH res INTO v_item;
          EXIT WHEN res%NOTFOUND;
          utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','move _'||v_item||'_.* '||v_item||'\');
     END LOOP;
CLOSE res;
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','FOR /F "usebackq delims=" %%1 IN (`dir /b *.`) DO @rd/q %%1');
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','cls');
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','echo Reorganizing ...Done');
utl_file.fclose(v_ID);
END;
Everything works fine, BUT, the script is generated in dos/windows scripting.
Now I need to run the script in *nix/linux shell, which I still can’t do it (because of my knowledge :p).
And also I don’t know if the script already generated in *nix/linux shell version, how do I chmod +x the script from stored procedure, I can’t use ‘host’ command in my tools
Thanks a lot
-firman

If you're using 9i then UTL_FILE.FRENAME() will execute something like a Unix mv command.
If you want to do a chmod then you'll need to check out how to use a Java Stored Procedure to execute OS calls.
