Can't apply gradients

I am following the Apple Pro Training Series book for Motion and in the second Chapter it asks me to add an Icy Blue gradient onto the Circle City particle(already in the canvas) to change its color. As soon as I drop it on the canvas I see it bouncing back to the library pane from where it came. I then tried it on different templates and it seems to work fine on some (i.e. the generators) but not on others. I am using my brand new Mac Pro with the following specs:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 5 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B04
SMC Version: 1.7f8
Serial Number: G87140EBUQ2
the version of Motion I use is the 3.0.1
I'll greatly appreciate if any of you can help me get past this.

No that didn't work either. I guess what the book is trying to have me do is a very simple thing: they want to show the readers firstly that they can use particle emitters that are generator-like (so they first have you choose the particle emitters icon in the library, then choose the abstract folder that appears in the right hand pane and lastly, drag the cirlce city {could be anyone i think} icon that appears in the lower pane among a bunch of other emitters, to the canvas). Secondly they wanna show you that you don't have to stick to that original color and so they ask you to add a gradient (so they ask you to choose the gradients icon in the right hand pane {where you previously chose the particle emitters icon}, and, since there is only one folder that appears in the right hand pane that says All, you immediately see all the icons of all the gradients in the lower pane, so they ask you to drag icy blue {again it could be any one of them i guess} and drop it in the canvas to change its color). I think this is a very basic and simple thing in MOTION but for some reason I keep doing it with no result....the gradient instead of being added, is bounced back to where it came from (the bottom pane). I checked the layers tab and all locks are open. The time line is running 120 frames at 24 fps. I saw the object is Geo05 and if i turn it on the only thing it does is show a cirlce in the center of the canvas but if i try to add the gradient to it it will still repel it.

How can i apply gradient...

I have a rectangular shape movie Clip (Size :130px X40 px). I
want to apply linear gradient on it using action script. Can
anybody help me how can I apply gradient on it.
Note: This movie clip is made manually. Not by using
createEmptyMovieClip method.

i already checked this -
MAKE A OVAL ON YOUR STAGE AND GIVE THIS INSTANCE NAME 'ovl'
(withought single quote) and use the code under
here i am creating two movie clips on stage --
1st is 'ovl' and 2nd one is 'mc'
But to apply gradient on ovl i have to use setMask method
like this _root.mc.setMask(_root.ovl)
i do not want to use SetMask... I want to apply gradient
directly on 'ovl'
How can i do ??????????????
// create emtpy movieclip
mc = createEmptyMovieClip("mc",1);
// set the constants for the gradient fill
// the colors
col = [0x000066,0x0033FF];
// the alphas
alp = [100,30];
// the ratios
rat = [100,255];
//this.onMouseMove = function () {
// we will make a radial gradient
// and make it move with the mouse
// first we clear the previous gradient fill
mc.clear();
// get the mouse-position
// the x-coordinate
x = _xmouse-200;
// the y-coordinate
y = _ymouse-200;
// set the matrix for the transformation
matrix = { matrixType:"box",x:x,y:y,w:400,h:400,r:0 }
// now make the new gradient fill
mc.beginGradientFill("linear",col,alp,rat,matrix);
// now make the shape to fill
mc.lineTo(400,0);
mc.lineTo(400,400);
mc.lineTo(0,400);
// end the fill
mc.endFill();
_root.mc.setMask(_root.ovl)

How can i use gradient tool in Illustrator

Hello,
I am trying to use gradient tool in illustrator.
My image is active but how can i start using gradient tool.
I clicked the tool and tried to drag with my mouse but, i can not activate the tool itself.
Can any one help me, I am using CS4 extended with Mac.
Thank you very much.
Steve

First in order to use the gradient tool you must have a gradient fill applied to an object not an raster image it can be a vector illustration..
Select the object or objects or groups of objects
Now click on the gradient bar in the Gradient Panel while the object(s) are still selected that will fill the object with the default gradient.
You can also use a gradient swatch in the Swatches panel, you can make a gradient swatch as well.
Now your object(s) is filled with the default gradient fill.
Now in the tool panel select the gradient tool this will allow you to control the way the gradient is oriented and applied to the object.
Now you can change the colors and add colors to you gradient by clicking on the color markers below the gradient bar which will bring up the color or swatches panels.
Now finally and this is the most important factor to consider you have to purchase a book and or tutorials and the book that will probably do you the most good at this stage is Mordy Golding's Real World Illustrator CS 4 this you shoud do before you go any further. Honest.

Applying Gradient through css in spark application of gumbo

I want to apply gradient colors just like we did in flex 3 using css.
How to achieve the same for s:Application ?

That changed in the new architecture:
you need to drop something like this in your main app or create a new skin for the main app and drop it in there:
    
    <s:Rect left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0">
        <s:fill>
            <s:LinearGradient>
                <s:GradientEntry ratio="0" color="#ff00ff"/>
                <s:GradientEntry ratio="1" color="#00ff00"/>
            </s:LinearGradient>
        </s:fill>
    </s:Rect>
Need to play with the gradient but ration and color values but you get the picture...
The old way does not apply anymore as far as I can tell ...
You can define your own backgroundGradientColor read it in the custom skin updateDisplayList and do the drawing yourself, but I am not sure it is worth the effort.

Apply Gradient across stroke not working now?

Updated Illustrator to CC and now my apply gradient to stroke is acting funny (also does it with apply along stroke). First i can't get it to show up unless I find a number it likes (start out with 1 pt, don't see a stoke so increase size 1 pt at a time up to 11 to see it) now the corners have gotten strange, They seem to be missing small patches. Any idea what's causing this? You can see in the image I am not doing anything fancy, it's type and then just to make sure it wasn't a font problem I tried just a rectangle. It seems to be worst with corner set to round joint.
TIA,
LVChris

Sorry Larry that didn't fix it. Sent the files to Adobe for review. Anyone elese reproduce this problem?
It's easy to test;
1. create a rectangle
2. add a fill and stroke
3. change the stroke to a gradient and make it big enough to see
4. change the stroke cap to round and cap corner to round join
5. change the gradient to apply gradient along stroke or across stroke
I do this to nearly everything and have been for years...very strange problem
I also just made the same object in CS6 and it worked flawlessly.

Can I apply effects to transitions?

the title really says it all...can I apply a quick blur to a wipe transition to soften the edge of transition from clip a to clip b ?
thanks,
Paul

Check out the Gradient Wipe transition (not the Gradient Wipe effect--though it could be made to do the same thing). You create a grayscale image/gradient to define the wipe, and then depending on the "length" of the gradient, you can create a soft-edged wipe.
Another option would be Linear Wipe, in Video Effects > Transition; that has a built in softness slider, though you need to manually animate the transition and stack your clips on two tracks.

How can i apply this glowing effect in logo with illustrator?

How can i apply this glowing effect in logo | ThemeForest Community Forums

I would make several copies of the original artwork. On each copy, section the individual areas to be gradients. It looks like you have at least four gradients, both linear and radial. It's just a matter of building each section and then reassembling each. Not too complex, yet nice piece of artwork.

Regarding receiving texts as emails: Can you apply this setting to one individual? I want to continue to receive texts from everyone else except one person!

Don't want to block the person, just have all his texts going directly to my email so that I can maintain a continuous record of his text contacts (rather than remain in text form).
It appears that I must select an option that makes ALL texts go to email, which I'd prefer not doing.

How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

jhb3243
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
In the case of this theoretical lower third to be applied to more than one title at a time
a. Is there text in the lower third besides a graphic of some kind?
b. Are all the titles to which this lower third is to be applied all together on the Timeline or scattered?
If no text in lower third and titles all together, then, with text titles on Video 1 and lower third on Video 2, drag out the lower third to cover the length of the text titles on Video 1.
I do not find "lower third" title files to be in the same category as certain effects where the Copy and "Paste Attributes" or "Paste Effects and Adjustments" lend themselves so well.
Let us see what others have to say about all this. I will continue to experiment with what you seek and how you would prefer to get there. I am not optimistic but I will try.
Thanks.

Transaction can be applied to stateless session bean

is transaction can be applied to stateless session beanif yes/no why?

Just because a stateless session bean is stateless doesn't mean it doens't hold state. The stateless means it shouldn't hold any client state.
It can hold onto for example the dao objects.
The idea is that you pass all the client state to the sessionbean when calling it.
Eg.
public void doBulkOperation( User user ,string param1, String param2){
operation1( user, param1 );
operation2( user, param2 );
public void operation1( User user ,String param1){
//do some work involving user
public void operation2( User user ,String param2){
//do some work involving user
now suppose that doBulkOperation, operation1, operation2 are declared as transaction required. doBulkOperation starts the transaction if there isn't one running and joins the transaction. Then operation1 and operation2 join in the transaction.
Perfectly safe!
What you're not allowed to do is the following:
privata User user
public void doBulkOperation( User user ,string param1, String param2){
this.user = user;
operation1( param1 );
operation2( param2 );
public void operation1( String param1){
//do some work involving user
public void operation2( String param2){
//do some work involving user
This would be unsafe because concurrent calls will change the user and produce unpredictable results and possibly corrupting data.
It will work perfectly thougn if there is only one user or you're using a statefull session bean providing you don't share that bean with several clients.

Can we apply select statement on internal table.

can we apply select statement on internal table.if yes thrn let me know how to do.

Dear Sachin,
You cannot use SELECT statement on internal table.
If you want to select some rows from internal table you can LOOP the table or you can READ the table.

Can't apply some master pages to topics

Hello,
I have already logged a bug report on this, but I am hoping that someone else has encountered it and has a suggested workaround. I have searched the forums, but I didn't see this issue. We recently upgraded to RoboHelp 8, and we have installed 8.0.1.
Our help projects typically include multiple master pages (formerly called "templates"). Most topics use the main master page, but a few need to use one of our other master pages that is geared toward a different type of user. Most of our projects have at least 3 master pages.
After conversion from X5 to RoboHelp 8, in some of our help projects, we cannot apply the lesser-used master pages to topics. We can right-click the topic name or within the Design window and open the Topic Properties, and we can select the correct master page, either from the drop-down list or by clicking the Browse button, and we can click Apply. Initially, the topic will show the master page as being selected; however, the header from that master page will not appear grayed out in the Design window for the topic as it should, and when you save and close the topic, the master page is no longer selected for it. This problem does not occur if I select the master page that is used for most topics; that one gets selected and applied correctly.
This problem has happened to me and to 2 of my coworkers. I got my problem topics and templates to work, but I tried many things repeatedly and cannot pinpoint what made the problem stop happening. I am currently trying to solve the problem in a coworker's project without success.
Things I have tried:
1. Deleting and reimporting the master pages that are not working. (When I do this, RoboHelp crashes.)
2. Comparing the code of the non-working master pages to the code of the master page that does work. I saw no problems.
3. Deleting the cpd file while the project was closed and then reopening.
4. Manually changing the tags that appear in the code of the topics to see if I can fool RoboHelp into recognizing the master page. I tried putting in the meta tag and header placeholder tags, but this did not work.
Has anyone run into this, and if so, have you found a workaround?
Thank you,
Tammy

This was our error, not RoboHelp's. After trying several different things yesterday, I compared the code of a working master page to that of a non-working master page once again. I discovered an error in some JavaScript, and when I removed the extraneous code, the template worked. I apologize for not finding this before posting! I did try several things before I posted.

I can't apply labels to images in version 2.1.1

Last November 3rd I updated IBooks Author to version 2.1.1 (459). Since that day I can't apply labels to images. I can edit labels for the existing images, but there isn't any label list when I import a new one. If I create a new widget, labels are applied and can be edited.
I've tested this issue with new documents and existing ones with the same result. I also tried to restore a version 2.1 from my previous TimeMachine backups, but no succes.
I've being working well since I installed Maveriks, until this version 2.1.1 update. It is a bug? I've read complains about the same failure in the comments of the App Store from Spain. Can I downgrade iBooks author?
I am finishing a techical book with hundreds of images, so, you know what I am feeling.

Might be a bug - best to contact Apple directly so they can take a look, I think...
