Can comboboxes have drop shadows, and if so, how (Flash Pro)?

Hi
Is it possible to give the drop down part a drop shadow? At the moment, mine blends a little too much into a datagrid.
Cheers

You can do it programmatically the same way you would assign a filter to any DisplayObject...
    import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter
    var cbFilter:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter ();
    cb.filters = [cbFilter];
Another approach sans AS3 for the same effect would be to just place cb inside a MovieClip and apply the filter to the MovieClip thru the properties panel
Though you will find that it only shadows the main element in both of those approaches, not the drop list portion with the shadow.  To add it to the drop list portion you need to target that....
    cb.dropdown.filters = [cbFilter];

  • Can't select drop shadow

    I have a file from a client that needs to be resized to a few different dimensions. The problem I'm having is that I can select the the layer but the drop shadow doesn't get selected along with the main shape.  I've cut and pasted the file into a different document and the drop shadow isn't included. When I scale the shape, the drop shadow scales incorrectly. I using CS5 Extended on a Windows 7 PC.

    The Drop Shadow and other Layer Styles are effects attached to a layer, not expressed in pixels, so you should not expect them to be a part of a selection. 
    And normally you would not expect effects to size with the object, as they are thought of more in terms of a ficticious "light" falling on the document - for example so a whole set of different objects could maintain a consistent shadow and thus seem the same distance up from the page.  I know what you're hoping for - a way to have the effects just scale with the object (though that would be tricky if the object is scaled unequally in each dimension).
    There are a couple of ways I can think of to scale layer styles...
    One is to scale the entire document using Image - Image Size before using it in another document, and checking the box shown here:
    Another way is to, with the layer already placed and selected in the LAYERS panel, choose Layer - Layer Style - Scale Effects, and enter a new percentage.  This can be more direct than changing the individual style elements manually.
    Using Photoshop Help and entering "scale layer style" turns up both of the above, by the way.
    One other thing I thought of that could be helpful with what you're doing is if you have other layers in the target document that already have the layer style the way you want it, you can copy just the layer styles to a newly placed layer.  Just right-click on the layer with the style the way you want it and choose Copy Layer Style, then select the layer(s) you want to copy it to, right-click, then Paste Layer Style.

  • 2014.3 -Can't apply drop shadow (or other effects) to text, however I can apply effect to shapes, Why?

    I'm new to Muse, but have always been curious to try it. Today I updated to Muse CC 2014.3 after watching the "up and running with Muse" videos out on Lynda.com
    I'm not sure if it's something i'm not doing correctly, but I can't apply drop shadow (or other effects) to text, however I can apply effect to shapes just fine, why?

    This has to do with the way we set text to be rendered in the browser. You are able to apply a drop shadow to system fonts (which will be rasterized to an image in the browser), but currently web safe fonts with drop shadow aren't supported in Muse because we still support IE8 and IE9 -- which don't support the shadow effect for text. One sort of work around is to use two text frames, one which holds your text and one which has black coloring with opacity less than 100% applied to the text that gets set behind and offset to your text to appear as though it were drop shadow, while keeping your text live. Group them together and moving them shouldn't throw off your design too much.

  • Rendering Drop Shadows and Text

    You know... for a system that can play 16 video streams in HD and dynamically adjusts the playback quality to handle all of that to play in real time......
    why does a drop shadow and crawling text require a render on 2 streams of SD video?
    I'm editing plain NTSC 29.97 DV footage..... my sequence settings are the same as my clips... all footage plays fine and generates a green preview bar for when I start getting complicated..... but when i add a drop shadow....... no matter what.... no matter how many streams are on... (even if it's only one) red render required to play.
    It just seems odd that it can handle so much more information than what a drop shadow seems to generate..... the same happens with scrolling or crawling text. Is there anyway to get this in a preview..... so i don't have to spend 4 minutes rendering something that might not even work the way I want it to in the first place?

    the drop shadow will be fine once the processing is offloaded to the GPU

  • How can I create drop shadows with PSE10

    How can I create drop shadows with PSE10 & PE10?

    Layer styles let you quickly apply effects to an entire layer. In the Effects panel, you can view a variety of predefined layer styles and apply a style with just a click of the mouse.
    Three different layer styles applied to text 
    The boundaries of the effect are automatically updated when you edit that layer. For example, if you apply a drop shadow style to a text layer, the shadow changes automatically when you edit the text.
    Layer styles are cumulative, which means that you can create a complex effect by applying multiple styles to a layer. You can apply one style from each style library per layer. You can also change a layer’s style settings to adjust the final result.
    When you apply a style to a layer, a style icon appears to the right of the layer’s name in the Layers panel. Layer styles are linked to the layer contents. When you move or edit the contents of the layer, the effects are modified correspondingly.
    Once you choose Layer > Layer Style > Style Settings, you can edit the settings of a layer’s style or apply other style settings or attributes available in the dialog box.
    Lighting Angle Specifies the lighting angle at which the effect is applied to the layer.
    Drop Shadow
    Specifies the distance of a drop shadow from the layer’s content. You can also set the size and opacity with the sliders.
    Outer Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the outside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
    Inner Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the inside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
    Bevel Size Specifies the size of beveling along the inside edges of the layer’s content.
    Bevel Direction Specifies the direction of the bevel, either up or down.
    Stroke Size Specifies the size of the stroke.
    Stroke Opacity Specifies the opacity of the stroke.

  • Drop shadows and HTML5

    When there is a Smart Shape with both a stroke and a fill, plus a drop shadow, the drop shadow looks like it only applies to the stroke. I have several such objects with fairly thick 3 or 4 pt stroke. The drop shadow should be behind both the stroke and the fill. To avoid this I've been creating two identical shapes when only one is needed. The bottom shape has a drop shadow and the top shape does not.
    Does anyone know a better workaround that doesn't require so many shapes?

    Hi Jay,
    As you are used to, I double-checked what was my idea about those shadows: being simply a slightly moved duplicate of the original shape with the color, alpha and other settings you setup in the PI, Shadow accordion. I published to HTML5 and everything showed up as expected, here is a screenshot of that published version:
    For the first smart shape I only decremented the Alpha more for the Fill in order to see better the duplicate, shadow image. The second one has no fill, but I customized the shadow color.
    Could you post a screenshot of your different result?

  • My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

    My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

    There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
    The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
    No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
    I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
    Hope that helps!

  • I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    That is becuase Pages 5.1 has numerous unnounced surprises for the unwary user.  Among the surprises:
    - it strips out images from headers and footers without warning
    - it strips out bookmarks without wanring (yes, all those bookamrks you laboriously put into a document: poof! Gone.)
    - it strips out alternating left/right margins, without warning.
    There are many more suprises, as you'll see from glancing through these discussions. They fall into two main categories: things that are present in version 4.3 but that are missing in 5.1, things like
    -mail merge
    -meaningful Applescript/Services support
    -non-contiguous text selection
    -ability to set defaul zoom
    -ability to see comments while editing
    -ability to print comments
    -ability to read RTF files
    -ability to drag in hyperlinked ted from a browser
    These about about 90 other features are gone.
    Then there are the bugs.  Hyperlinks do not reliably export to a PDF file any longer. There have been multiple problems with printing report. Some fonts place stray characters in the headers.  Many reports of the program crashing, courrupting files, etc.
    Fortunately for you, the previous version of Pages is still on your system.  Export any documents you may have created or edited with Pages 5.1 (another great surprise: files created with version 5.1 cannot be read by any previous version of Pages: not just 4.3 but even 5.01!).  Then trash 5.1 and use 4.3 until (unless?) it is stable and has a reasonably robust feature set.

  • Can we have both 9i and 10g db running on the same machine

    Hi,
    I want to to exp/imp upgrade of my 9i db to 10g db.
    Can I have both 10g and 9i installed on the same server?
    Thanks,
    Kavitha

    Yes, provided that the HW, OS version and Patch level are certified for both 9i and 10g.
    Install 10g into a seperate ORACLE_HOME -- whether under the same "oracle" account or a different (e.g. "oracle10g" account).
    However, you should consider 11g as 10g is being desupported this month (i.e. no new patches / fixes will be available for 10g)

  • Can we hav call transaction and session method for an application

    can we hav call transaction and session method for an application ?if yes how?

    Hi ,
    You can.  If Call Transaction fails, a batch input session can be created.
    Check this example-
    Call the transaction. Messages from Call Transaction are stored in the
    internal table messtab 
      CALL TRANSACTION 'LT01' USING bdc_tab MODE 'N' UPDATE 'S'
          MESSAGES INTO messtab.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.                                                 
    Call transaction successfull,  get the number of the Transfer Order that
    was created                                                        
        LOOP AT messtab.                                               
          IF messtab-dynumb = '0104' AND messtab-msgnr = '016'.        
            w_transportorderno = messtab-msgv1.                        
          ENDIF.                                                       
        ENDLOOP.
      ELSE.
    Call transaction failed, create a batch input session instead.
        PERFORM open_group.                        
        PERFORM bdc_insert USING 'LT01'.           
        PERFORM close_group.                       
    ENDIF.
