Align floating items to a layer

I'm trying to build a website featuring scalable backgrounds based on this example here: http://wanderingphotog.businesscatalyst.com/
My problem is when I add additional items, such as a logo, a top menu, and thumbnails they float freely around the screen as the browser is resized (at least in Muse preview mode). Is there any way to align them to a specific layer so when the browser is scaled the elements stay aligned in neat blocks? For example in the preview above the top title appears aligned horizontally to the bottom text elements. Is there some property in Muse that I can tick to make it so?
Thanks!

Hi
You can group the items and pin them on fixed position of page, so that the grouped items would be in same page position.
Thanks,

Align page items (AS) (CS3)

Scripting Gurus,
Is there some simple AS syntax to align selected page items on a page?
Dictionary seems to imply that, saying:
align distribute items page item : The page items to align or distribute.
align option left edges/top edges/right edges/bottom edges/horizontal centers/vertical centers : The type of alignment to apply.
I attempted this:
tell page items in selection
set vertical alignment to top edges
end tell
Thanks!
Joe

Its kinda of crazy but here ya go, I wish the AppleScript Dictionary listed examples ...esp. when the syntax is wacky.
select a bunch of images, or have the object references in a list(I just use selection to make it easier):
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
    tell active document
        set myimages to selection
        align align distribute items myimages align option left edges
    end tell
The text in the red is where you put those paramaters listed in the dictionary.

How to control the visibility of image items on a layer?

I want to control the visibility of image items on the layer. Some items will be visible and others will be hidden on the same layer.
Can anyone tell me how can I achieve this using SDK APIs.

Hi,
You can try following facade function. And set the Opacity value to 0 for hidden the images or set greater then 0 value for visiablity of image.
IXPAttributeFacade::SetOpacity (const UIDList &itemList, PMReal opacity);
I hope it will resolve your problem.

Move all the items of a layer to new page?

hi,
is it possible to move all the items in the layer to move to the new page with the same coordinates in the page 1
eg:
i have two layer named "layer_page1"and one more layer named "layer_page2"
i have 2 text frame objects , 1 rectangle objects in the "
layer_page1" and 3 text frame objects, 3 rectangle objects in the "layer_page2"
all the items are in the page.items(0).
now i will add a new page to the document
and i need to move all the items in the layer named "layer_page2" to the new page, i.e page.item(1). is it possible?
if it is possible it will solve lot my efforts typing.. and verifying.
your comments are highly appreciated.

John,
hm, I don't think your untested script will work in a predictable way. Technically it will work a bit. Just tested it. But:
1. if you loop from index 0 to the end, even if you loop from the end to index 0 you will mess the index of the pageItems when moving them to a different page
=> I recommend grouping all pageItems on the specified layer, so that we have to move only one pageItem, the new group
2. problem with move() to another page is, that you cannot retain the original page coordinates of the moved object, it will get 0,0 coordinates automatically
=> we have to store the coordinates of the group first, then move, then apply the old coordinates
3. in a real-world scenario we should deal with the possibility of locked pageItems
4. Furthermore we have to make sure that the layer is not locked
The following example will unlock all pageItems on that layer and will lock them after they are moved:
//Move all objects on a layer of a page to a different page
var
d=app.activeDocument,
src=d.pages[0], dst=d.pages[1],
layer=d.layers.itemByName("Layer 2"),
i;
var myItemsToMove = new Array();
var myItemsLocked = new Array();
for (i=0; i<src.pageItems.length; i++) {
    if (src.pageItems[i].itemLayer === layer) {
        if(src.pageItems[i].locked){
            myItemsLocked.push(src.pageItems[i].id);
            src.pageItems[i].locked=false;
        myItemsToMove.push(src.pageItems[i]);
//Check, if layer is locked:
if(layer.locked){
    var layL = true;
    layer.locked=false;
// create a group on the source page:
var newGroup = src.groups.add(myItemsToMove);
var gB = newGroup.geometricBounds;
//We have to move only ONE object, the new group
//To the destination page
newGroup.move(dst);
//To the old coordinates
newGroup.move(undefined,[gB[1],gB[0]]);
//Restore the state of the pageItems
//Ungroup them once:
newGroup.ungroup();
//Relock the former locked objects:
for(n=0;n<myItemsLocked.length;n++){
    d.pageItems.itemByID(myItemsLocked[n]).locked=true;
//Relock layer if it was locked:
if (layL){layer.locked=true};

Right aligning one item in a VerticalLayout container?

Hi All,
I've got a container with a VerticalLayout. I want all of the items to be left-aligned, except for the first one, which I want to be right-aligned.
Is there a way to make that first item right-aligned? If this were HTML I might put float:right on the item and make the following items clear:both, and that would do it. But I'm not sure how to do it in Flex. Can anyone give me some insight?
Thanks!
-Josh

You can put it inside another container and right align that.

Cannot float item next to another floated item...help needed...

Hi everyone,
I'm using DW CS4 and am somewhat in a snag. I am trying to line up an image, text and another image side by side. I was successfully able to float the text to the right of the image (by using float: left) and now I am trying to float another image left of the text. However, when I attempt, the image does not move and the text expands out (I put the text in a DIV container and gave it a width of 800 px); my entire layout is 1280 pixexl. So what I'm asking is, how can I float an item next to another item? I've posted the code below. All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi sivavuyyuru,
I cannot find a easy way to make this.
I think you may need to draw your own Combo Box control. And you could change the edit control more like static text. Check the article:
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/controls/combobox/fontselectioncombos/article.php/c1795/Owner-Drawn-Font-Selection-Combobox.htm
In the resource editor, Owner draw -> variable , Has string->true, type->drop list.
The result:

Floating Items in the browser window

I have a stage that is 4000 some pixils wide.
I have some items tht i would like to be on screen and in a fixed position no mater where you scroll.
2 to be centered - content and intro
1 to be top left and - logo
one to be top right - contact
i have the following code that is present in the compisioionReady that floats a symbol named content in the center of the browser window.
i need to add the other 3 items to this code.
Thoughts?
$(document).scroll(function(){
    var leftEdgeWindow = $(this).scrollLeft()
    setLeftEdge(leftEdgeWindow);
function setLeftEdge(base){
    //get the content symbol
    var contentObject = sym.getSymbol("content");
    //here it is in jQuery
    var content = contentObject.getSymbolElement();
    //get some important widths
    var contentWidth = content.width();
    var windowWidth = $(window).width();
    //find the left edge position
    var leftEdge = base + (windowWidth/2) - (contentWidth/2);
    content.css("left",leftEdge);
    //content.css("position", "fixed");
setLeftEdge(0);

Hi, blonde_rik-
You can also just set the CSS position on these specific elements to "fixed":
sym.$("content").css("position", "fixed");

Right Aligned Float in JTable

I am trying to insert floats in two or more cells but i don't how to right align it. I searched thru the tutorials but found some info only about right alignment of Integer type. Further i want to restrict entry of decimals i mean some cells (in a column) should accept 2 or 3 decimals.
Is there any material to read more about this or the gurus out here can help me with their insights.
TIA
Shomal

You must to have the model, like next code:
        TableColumnModel columnModel = tableView.getColumnModel();
        TableColumn colorColumn = columnModel.getColumn(0); //get the desire column
        DefaultTableCellRenderer colorColumnRenderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer();
        colorColumnRenderer.setForeground(Color.red); //to change the color
        colorColumnRenderer.setBackground(Color.gray);
        colorColumnRenderer.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.RIGHT); //here you aling...
        colorColumn.setCellRenderer(colorColumnRenderer);When the cell is editing if you want the same aling also you must to define the aligned like that
JTextField texto= new JTextField();
texto.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.RIGHT);
colorColumn.setCellEditor(new customEditor(texto));
This works for me...

Thanks
Steve

HI Trevor,
I have a doubt with the below js lines, If steve want to move the particular layer page items. In this case the below lines not working, So we have to loop it? Because he request to select the particular layer page items. so that, vandy loop the page items right!
Turn all Items yellow
app.activeDocument.layers.itemByName("Layer 1").pageItems.everyItem().fillColor = "Yellow"
Get Elements
myLayersItems = app.activeDocument.layers.itemByName("Layer 1").pageItems.everyItem().getElements()

Align page item to region right edge.

Hi gurus
I have a region that has just one page item and I want to align it to right edge of its region.
How can I do that?
Thanks in advance
Oscar

Maheswara,
Thanks for your answer.
Really my region is a reports region of item-above-region-content type.
And the only page item has to be right-aligned to match rigthmost columns.
Can this info helps you?

Auto align layers moves my locked layer?

I am using CS4 and I want to align a couple of layers. I have no problem getting it to work, except for the fact that it will move all of my layers, even my background layer wich is locked. I thought that if you first locked a layer, then selected the other layers, all of those unlocked layers would be aligned to the locked layer? I want to keep that background layer from moving.
Thanks,
Steve

Yes the new Auto-align feature in Photoshop should be better implemented than it is. Locking the Movement of layers should certainly regsiter with Auto_align, and its quite ridiculous that it doesn't. If all selected layers happen to be locked then a warning should come up
D. Fosse has your answer over how to do this at present, it requires re-ordering your layers.
You should post a Feature Request about this.

How to align "New Item" icon

Hi all,
when I add an item to a region I can see the new item icon. In some cases the icon appears on the right of the item, in other cases it appears down the item.
Is it possible to set the alignment of "new item" icon?
thanks
Marco

Hi Marco -
If you go the region properties (click the pencil icon on the region) on the attributes/style tab, the attributes section allows you to specify the order the attributes are shown in. The "New Item Indicator" is the attribute that you will want to shuffle the position in the selected attributes to put it in the same place in all region.
Hope this helps,
Candace

Item Labels - tied to item or to layer?

I renamed all my custom control button graphics via Item Properties. The names showed up fine in the timeline (back, forward, pause, replay, exit). When I re-ordered two higher layers (play button and caption), all the labels shifted to different buttons. Turning off item/layer labelled "replay" now effects visibility of the exit button, etc.
It's as if shifting the layer order, shifted all the labels to new objects. Is this normal? Do the layers existing independently of the objects in the timeline, and if so, should I wait to relabel everything until the project is done?

Hello,
No, this is not normal at all. Which version of Captivate do you use? And check the precise number please, perhaps there are updates?
I'm always labeling every object and slide, use those labels in advanced actions and never had that experience. I'm really curious to have more details.
