Applying filters to text in Flex

I'm trying to make some text nice and pretty with a dropped
shadow, etc. The text in Flexbuilder 2 displays nice and
antialiased, but with no dropped shadow. When running, the dropped
shadow is pretty and antialiased, but the text itself is not. If I
make some text and style it in Flash and export it as a SWF it
works fine. That's just a lot of steps to go through to get nice
headlines...
I'm on a PC running XP with flash player 9,0,28,0 installed.
Here's the code.
<mx:Label text="With Drop Shadow" x="26" y="223"
width="80" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="16" color="#ffff80"
fontWeight="bold">
<mx:filters>
<flash.filters:DropShadowFilter
xmlns:flash.filters="flash.filters.*" />
</mx:filters>
</mx:Label>
<mx:Label text="No Filter" x="26" y="253" width="80"
fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="16" color="#ffff80"
fontWeight="bold">
</mx:Label>

<mx:SWFLoader x="150" y="186" source="assets/text.swf"
autoLoad="true"/>
Do I need to do something special to force it to antialias or
is this bug/limitation of the flash player or flex?
Thanks!

Hello again,
Thanks for the advice. I tried applying the "Alpha From To" effect, which I can view perfectly in the "live preview" however, once I play back my slide, it doesn't perform the effect.
I have also tried with the "apply effect" statement in advanced actions and then selecting "Execute Advanced Actions" on my slide but it still does not work.
It seems like such a simple action to perform....but appears that this is not something that can be easily done? @

Applying filters to dynamic text?

I'd like to apply a filter to a textfield, and have any text
I put in there to show the effects of that filter. should be
easy... probably just missing somthing obvious. so far I have
embedded the font, and I have used the filters tab, and have added
filters in AS3, but no go.

You say you have used the filters tab, and then you say you
added filters in AS3. Those are two different things. Using the
filters tab implies you are using the Flash CS3 interface to add
filters. Using AS3 implies you are typing code into the Actions
panel to apply filters.
To apply filters to the textfield using the Flash CS3 filters
tab, be sure the textfield is selected when you select the filters.
If this is an AS3 coding problem, show the code you are
using.

Enchancement Request: IR arrow button in Search Filter uses applied Filters

Hello,
I'd like to request an Enhancement.
I'd like the IR arrow button in IR Search Filter, when performs the DISTINCT to provide choices in list for the user to select, that would take into consideration any other Filters that have already been applied to the IR Report in.
Currently it seems that it ignores any of these already applied filters and provides the DISTINCT list of the default report settings row set.
Referencing thread:
How to display values in arrow in Filter in IR for joined table columns ?
TIA
Dionyssis

Ah ha! I figured out a solution. It took one of those "ah ha" moments to do it.
Peter.... thanx for the suggestion, but I am using the built-in Interactive Report settings to hide the Actions button and other things. I am also attempting to hide the section on the page which displays the current filtering, control breaks, etc. that are applied to the report. This is because the page is a public page and needs to be as simple as possible and I do not want the end users to have the ability to turn pre-built filtering and control breaks on and off. The problem is that the user-entered filtering is displayed in the same place as the pre-built filtering and I want to display the former, but not the latter.
I created a display-only item on the page containing the text that should show when the user has entered some search criteria in the search box. I then created a dynamic action which is triggered by the refresh of the interactive report and runs some javascript which first checks if there is "custom search criteria" applied and then hides or shows the display item accordingly. My javascript code is below for those interested.
if ( $('#apexir_CONTROL_PANEL_COMPLETE .fielddata:contains("Row text contains")').text() )
{ $x_Show('P1510_FILTER_ENABLED') } else { $x_Hide ('P1510_FILTER_ENABLED') }Shane.

In a pages document can I copy a ruler and apply it to text elsewhere in the document

While working in a pages document can I copy a ruler and apply it to text elsewhere in the document? I'm using Pages '09, Version 4.1 (923), on a MacBookPro with OS X, version 10.6.8. I've tried pages help, but I haven't found an answer to this question.

click in the text you wish to copy from > Menu > Format > Copy Paragraph style > click in the text you wish to copy to > Paste Paragraph Style
The keyboard shortcuts are option command c and option command v
You can also Copy/Paste Character Styles.
Better to create real Styles in the Styles Drawer. Using the above method is slower and will lead to inconsistent styles that you can not universally correct or change.

Prority applying filters in Develope module

LR is one of the best tools for those who wnat quick ranking, metadata editing for copyright, sorting and processing LARGE quantities of files...
Among those photographers wedding, event and sport shooters are those who really need to fastly sort thigns outm they are most interested in using LR.
also, the same photographers work in the most critical lightning environments, very often we shoot in very bad lightning at very high ISO settings.
for us noise is a real pain.
as we all know, advanced processing of a very noisy raw material exponentially increase noise levels in the final product.
for this reason, inside PS, our workflow include NR filters among the first operations we do...
this way, working on a cleaner background, the noise is kept under a relative control.
often, at the end of our workflow we again trim the nise as a final touch...
back to lightroom, few questons and requests are born from this imediate reality we confront each day:
1. LR offers NO control regarding order develope adjustments are applied... this is sometimes good, other times a real pain...
2. there is no information regarding WHICH is the order those filtes are applied when developing RAW files... NONE.
we could guess the order they appear in XML files and inside develope module is the order they are considered when RAW information is processed?
that mean noise is indeed among the last filters applied, correct me if i am wrong.
3. how we could maximize our results? just make minimum adjustments in LR, go to PS, where we can control the order of applying filters, process and export from there???
not exactly compatible with our need for speed and easy processing large quantities of files that make us choose LR, isn't it?
not to mention RAW data offers much more "hidden" info we can bring to life thru processing compared to exported PS files, even 16 bit tiffs are not as "good" on this regard...this is the reason we shoot raw, to benefit from this better latitude of information raw's offers ....
4. now the requests themselves:
a} please allow us to choosethe order of applying these filters...maybe not all, not all are that critical, but things like NR we should be able to put among the first filters applied.
if Adobe already thought about this and NR is among the first on that list, please let us know. we NEED to know , we need that info, we need control.
b} please allow us to double the filter alteration.
as i said, we often apply a NR fiter at the beggining of the workflow and then again, another NR with softer settings at the end of the workflow, sometimes just before the final sharpening.
such flexibility and customization availability would really help us, especially those who really need lightroom and do not have the time to bring every picture in PS and tweak it...
imagine shooting 1000 pictures in one session with a delivery deadline of 24 hours...LR is great help, have a lot of great features and we really apreciate the wayit works, even this elastic way of applying filters inside develope module...
BUT it would be a much better tool with more flexibility available.
Thanks Adobe, i also compelted an official request form regarding this subject.
maybe someone who really knows how things work inside developing engine could bring some light in this regard, how things really work right now,even this info could be very helpfull.
regards ,Liviu

first i need to KNOW officially how thigns work, if ucan offer me a proof i'd gladly accept that.
second, as i said, adobe might have think about that, is a request area and i have theright to request what I think is usefull to me.
i ask for more CONTROL, what is wrong about that?
i also request for 2 alteration using the same filter, NR in this case, once at the beggining and one at the eng of the developing process, i am also entitled to ask for such a thing, right?
qith all due respect, if u do not have similar needs please allow me to ask , understand and not suppose adobe thought of everything and there is no better way, ok?
here is a quote from a XMP file, i PRESUME the order if operation inside that file is the one processes are piped, am i wrong again?

so ,as u see i spaced the noise reduction fucntions in order to make them more visible, i can;t use colors to underline what i consider important, ok?
SO, as u can see here, WB, exposure, contrast, SHARPNESS, brightness, SHADDOWS are ALL listed BEFORE noise reduction...
later on the end of the list there is ANOTHER sharpening listed, so double fiter IS ALREADY applied, thus possible, right???
again, ALL fiters applied BEFORE NR influences noise levels, all increse noise, more or less....
WB influences exposure, try to go 50000 and see where hystogram goes to the right...
exposure also increase noise in shaddow areas.
contrast increse noise.
brightness also influence noise.
Shaddows are working exactly on most noisiest levels, the shades...
sharpness before NR??? indeed, is "well thought"...
so, Lee jay, seems i am not that wrong after all, isn't it???
i really hope that order inside XMP to mean nothing but i really doubt is meaningless ...
and again, even if a were wrong, i am entitled to ask explanations as i pay for this product. I also am entitled to ask for what i consider improvements, if Adobe decide to implement or not is another discussion...
a little "friendlier" tone in your replies would also be apreciated, thank you in advance. i hope u do not work for Adobe ;)
so, i am waiting for documented proofs related to my questions, thank you Adobe.

ConcurrentModificationException while applying filters in BPM workspace

Hi,
We have a Oracle BPM 10g 10.3.3. for weblogic environment. Getting this below error whenever I apply filters in workspace. The work items does not get refreshed either. However when I do a refresh in the browser('F5') the filters are getting applied and the work items are coming up filtere? Is there any way to get rid of this error? Is this a bug in the weblogic server?

Best practice - applying Filters

What's the best practice in terms of performance versus code reuse, when applying filters?
Right now, I see 3 ways to specify a filter:
1. as a <mx:filter> or <s:filter>
2. in actionscript:
var glowFilter:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();
--OR--
3. in SVG:
<s:rect>
<s:filters>
<s:DropShadowFilter blurX="20" blurY="20" alpha="0.32" distance="11" angle="90" knockout="true" />
</s:filters>
</s:rect>
What's the best way to apply this, in terms of performance? Thanks.

Fredrik,
Though similar to your workflow, here is how I would do it.
Import those "raw" Clips into a Project, and do my Trimming in that Project, relying on the Source Monitor to establish the In & Out Points for each, and also using different Instances of any longer "master Clip.". I would also do my CC (Color Correction), and all density (Levels, etc.) Effects here. Do not Trim too closely, as you will want to make sure that you have adequate Handles to work with later on.
Use the WAB (Work Area Bar) to Export the material that I needed in "chunks," using either Lagarith Lossless CODEC, or UT Lossless CODEC *
Import my music into a new Project and listen over and over, making notes on what visuals (those Exported/Shared Clips from above) I have at my disposal. At this point, I would also be making notes as to some of the Effects that I felt went with the music, based on my knowledge of the available visuals.
Import my Exported/Shared, color graded Clips.
Assemble those Clips, and Trim even more.
Watch and listen carefully, going back to my notes.
Apply any additional Effects now.
Watch and listen carefully.
Tighten any edits, adjust any applied Effects, and perhaps add (or remove existing) more Effects.
Watch and listen carefully.
Output an "approval" AV for the band/client.
Tweak, as is necessary.
Output "final approval" AV.
Tweak, as is necessary.
Export/Share, to desired delivery formats.
Invoice the client.
Cash check.
Declare "wine-thirty."
This is very similar to your proposed workflow.
Good luck,
Hunt
* I have used Lagarith Lossless CODEC with my PrE 4.0, but have not tried UT. Both work fine in PrPro, so I assume that UT Lossless will work in PrE too. These CODEC's are fairly quick in processing/Exporting, and offer the benefit of smaller files, than Uncompressed AVI. They are visually lossless. The resultant files will NOT be tiny, so one would still need a good amount of HDD space. Neither CODEC introduces any artifacts, or color degredation.

Perspective Text in Flex

Can anyone suggest me how to achieve the perspective text in flex.I want to achieve this in flex 3.If any body have any solution pls let me know.
Thnx in Advance
Shardul Singh Bartwal

If you want a true perspective and not just an envelope distortion you should examine the 3D effects.
If you want to put lettering onto a drawing of, say, a can, you must first construct a 3D image of the can (probably using 3D Revolve) and then map the lettering onto the surface. Having done that you can view the can from any angle (and with any perspective angle) and the lettering will follow suit.
This is also a useful way of mixing lettering onto a photographic image. Using the example of the can, you match the perspective in the photograph of a can with a cylinder made in 3D effects as accurately as you can. Once you have done that, any lettering mapped onto the surface of the cylinder will match the perspective in the photograph. Using invisible geometry allows you to see the mapped image only.
You can also map complete artwork onto cans constructed in 3D to produce approval stuff for your client.
Here's one such:

Applying filters to specific region within frame

Hi all,
Forgive me if this is an obvious thing, but I'm trying to learn FCP quickly coming from Adobe Premiere. How do I select a specific area of a clip and then apply a filter to either that area, or everything else? For example, let's say I select an area using colour correction. Obviously if I invert the selection then, say, use the saturation slider I can pick out one colour and make everything else b&w, but what about if I wanted to use that region to, say, apply a blur filter to it? And also, is there a tool which allows me to select a regular region (say an oval) to do the same?
Thanks,
Sean

Thanks Shane- I thought about doing it that way. Can you dynamically mask out everything but one colour in this way? In the PC setup we are getting rid of at work we use a bit of realtime hardware from Canopus (Raptor RT card) which enables region selection in a wide variety of ways. You can then apply filters inside the selection or outside, or both, and these can be different filters. That's the sort of thing I'm trying to work out.

IUUC_REPL_CONTENT - How to apply filters and replicate for Cluster tables BSEG/CDPOS

Hello Friends,
I have replicated the transparent tables by applying filters in IUUC_REPL_CONTENT but I know it's different for Cluster tables.
Does anyone replicated the BSEG or CDPOS ?
I need some inputs on this folks.
Thanks in advance.

Can't Apply Filters to an Animation in CS4

I just created a 144 frame animation on CS4, and, horror of horrors, when I went back after the fact to start applying filters (brushstrokes and gaussian blur in particular, though none are working) to my frames, all of the filters were grayed out. Is there a way to fix this issue, or will I have to do all of my frames over again?
Thanks!
Abbey

ugh - made such a mess - shot orchids on black background with texture but couldn't get the selection right so though I would have a clipping path made and then turn that into selection. but then I had to make changes to the orchid so the path wasn't quite right.
at any rate I'm back to the original - have made the corrections to the flowers and am now trying to refine the selection so I don't have a black line around the orchids when I use a layer to lighten the background, but also don't loose the stem which is dark and hard to select. - sorry for the confusion.

Unable to apply hyperlink to text

I am new to Muse. Can someone explain to me what I need to do (see attached image). I want to apply hyperlink to text elements and I don't understand how to change the text frame to not require rasterisation. Please help.
Chris

The font or typeface you are using in that paragraph where you're trying to make a hyperlink is a system font and not a a "Web Safe Font" or a supported Tyepkit font.
Unless you use a Web Safe font or install a Muse supported TypeKit font when designing or laying out your web page - Muse will turn these words into images to preserve their appearance ( since not everyone else has that font that you like as above, installed on their computer ) and since they have been turned into images, they can't be used to make hyperlinks.

Can't Apply Filters

Did search, of course. New one for me. FCP 6.0.2. Working on a project, that I had started yesterday, mostly color correction. Opened, and the filters won't apply to anything new. The filters that were there, on this and other projects can be manipulated, but I can't apply filters to this or any other project. It's like the filters aren't even there. This includes original, as well as non-Apple(Nattress, etc). Tried trashing preferences, and restarting, etc. Nothing. Tried recapturing footage, and starting completely new. Before re-installing, I thought of checking for a suggestion.

I ended up re-installing, and now it's fine. I was clicking on the clip in the timeline(As always). I even tried dragging from the effects bin in the browser, the way some still do, to the timeline, and nothing. There must have been a bug, I wish I knew. Definitely like to know why things happen. For the record, if it comes to me, what happened, will post.
