Changing color without modifying existing items.. problem!

Hello,
I'm reletively new to flash, and am trying to modify a template and am running into a problem and I don't seem to know why Flash is acting so strange.
I am going into a movie clip to edit the color of an item, and when I do so with a tint, it overrides any additional effects such as light, and text. The color appears almost as if it were just slapped on top of everything.
When I edit the color in advanced mode, it is really a hit-or-miss to get the correct color, and will only modify when changing the offset RGB.
And also when doing this, the text gradually changes color, for example: there are 4 items in total that I want to edit the color of. Each item is a different colored box with text on the front (for a main Navigation of the website). --- The first item, the text will stay white. Gradually through the second and third items it starts to change, and by the fourth / last item, the text is completely blue.
Is it possible for a portion of text to be connected somehow to an object within the animation in a movieclip? If so, is it possible to go inside and edit this? -the shape, animation, and text?
Is there an easier way to change the color of an item inside a movie clip? I can supply additional information if needed.. files etc.
Am I doing something wrong / completely missing something?
Thank you very much in advance for any help and/or advice!
New Flasher,
Lisa

go one level deeper than the movieclip so you're editing the shape.

Changing country without losing bought items

Hello,
I am wondering how to change the country of the Itunes Store account without losing everything I bought?
Thank you

As Niel says about keeping copies of what you have on local drives. Changing country won't delete items from your computer but it will disable your ability to re-download those items.

Changing color of Navigation menu items

I can't figure out how to change color of the navigation menu. any help?

The treatment of the navigation bar is hard-coded in XML files which control the appearance of iWeb templates. You cannot change this from within iWeb itself.
In fact, iWeb treats items on the navigation bar as images, as you'll see if you open a folder for one of your iWeb pages on your iDisk. Go to iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/SIteName/PageName_files and you'll find files such as navbar0normal.png, navbar0rollover.png, navbar1normal.png, navbar1rollover.png and so on. iWeb generates these based on the names you assign to your pages, using the font and colours specified in the controlling XML.
It is possible to change the appearance of the navigation bar, but only by editing the XML files within the iWeb application itself. Take a look at the 11 Mystics site, where Suzanne Boben provides a detailed description of what's involved. It's not something for the faint-hearted to tackle.

Change Color of Tabs Web Item

I'd like to publish a WAD 7.0 webtemplate including several tab groups which need to have different colors, one color for one issue.
Currently I found no way to realize that.
I tried to put the &STYLE_SHEET=<url>/<name.css> after the web template link without success. I also tried to use <link href="<url>" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /> in the web template without success.
Do you have some ideas for me?
Cheers Anja

Hi,
In BI 7.0, by default, colors for 7.0 web templates should be changed by changing the portal theme. You need to be a portal administrator to do this.
Portal themes can be edited with the theme editor: Go to System Administration --> Portal Display --> [Choose theme assigned to user group] --> Theme Editor. The default theme is Tradeshow. If no custom theme is made, you better make a copy of Tradeshow and assign this to the users.
The colors of the tabstrip can be changed by choosing the item 'Tabstrip'.
This should solve the problem of Maya M. For using different colors for different tabs (ahaufe), probably a combination of javascript and CSS should be used. You don't necessarily need to link to an external stylesheet. You can also put CSS code directly in your template between <style type="text/css"> </style> tags (in de the <head> area). See http://www.tizag.com/cssT/internal.php for examples.
Good luck,
Daniel

Can anyone help with changing colors without making a selection

I've been trying to work the the script below. All the front most paths are black I want to change them all to yellow without having to select them first.
Any help would be really appreciated. "I am a novice javascripter"
var myStyles = app.activeDocument.pathItems;
lastStyle=myStyles[myStyles.length-1]
lastStyle.remove();
frontStyle=myStyles[0]
frontStyle.filled=true;
// Sets the default fill color in the current document to yellow.
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
//added
frontPath = frontStyle;
// Define the new color
var newRGBColor = new RGBColor();
newRGBColor.red = 255;
newRGBColor.green = 255;
newRGBColor.blue = 0;
// Use the color object in the path item
frontPath.filled = true;
frontPath.fillColor = newRGBColor;

A couple of pointers from one novice to another… With script there is NO need to deal with 'selections' to change the writeable properties of any object you simply need reference them with your code as you have done above… You can select art and you can deal with user selected art should you wish but as a rule for all else just target the object with your syntax… The best thing to do is to get your code working… as you know the current state to be ( a document open with you test objects in it ) once you have this then add to it by wrapping your conditionals around this… For example…
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
     // All your code goes inside this statement
There is no point in getting the path items of the active document then checking later if there is a doc… Just a case of putting things in there respective order…
The property filled… I only use to check the state, giving an object a fill will automatically update this… So here are your lines with a little reshuffle and a loop example…
// Check there is a doc open
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
          // set a variable to the front document
          var doc = app.activeDocument;
          //Make your new color
          var rgbYellow = new RGBColor();
          // assign some values
          rgbYellow.red = 255;
          rgbYellow.green = 255;
          rgbYellow.blue = 0;
          // set variable to the collection ( list ) you want
          var paths = doc.pathItems;
          // loop this using a variable 'i'
          for ( var i = 0; i < paths.length; i++ ) {
                    paths[i].fillColor = rgbYellow;
          }; // this is your loop ending
}; // this is the condition ending

Changing Colors without Swatches in Javascript

I'm very new to javascript and I am writing a script to find all pathItems of a specified fill color and change them to another fill color. This must be done in RGB or hex without using swatches. So far I've put together bits of other scripts I found but I'm running into a lot of errors. Here is what I have so far:
var myDoc =app.activeDocument
var fillRGBColor = function (pathItem){
    var fillColor = new Array();
    fillColor[0] = myDoc.pathItem.fillColor.red;
    fillColor[1] = myDoc.pathItem.fillColor.green;
    fillColor[2] = myDoc.pathItem.fillColor.blue;
return fillColor;
fillRGBColor();
var pathItems = myDoc.pathItems;
for (i=0; i<pathItems.length; i++){
    fillColor[255,255,255] ==fillColor[50,50,50];
Thank you!

Thanks Muppet Mark! I modified the code based on that post:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var oldFill = new RGBColor();
oldFill.red = 173;
oldFill.green = 173;
oldFill.blue = 132;
var newFill = new RGBColor();
newFill.red = 67;
newFill.green = 67;
newFill.blue = 181;
var paths = myDoc.pathItems;
for (var i=0; i<paths.length; i++){
    if (paths[i].fillColor == oldFill){
            paths[i].fillColor = newFill;
No errors anymore but nothing happens when I run the script.

Luminosity issue when changing colors

I want to change the color of a building when I use the color change brush the color looks really washed out IE dark red looking pink. It will correct to the right color if I first use the color brush set on luminosity and then use it set to color but I loose the texture of the building. It is changing the picture more than the color is there another way. Thanks

You might look into a technique called frequency separation. This would separate your texture and color into two layers so you can change color without effecting the texture. Here's an example:

The action could not be completed because of a conflict with the original item. The conflict may have occurred when an existing item was updated on another computer or device. Open the item again and try making your changes. If the problem continues, cont

I have a user on an iMac 10.6 connected to our domain. She uses Outlook web access for email on our exchange server. Last week she received the following message which is randomly preventing her from sending emails. She claims no attachment was involved in the original email when this all started. I have not been able to look at her account as she is out of the office but maybe someone else dealt with this issue. I realize this may not be Mac related but thought I'd give it a try. She did say it occurred once over two days while working on a PC but it continued over the past weekend.
If an internal user tries to send a message with infected attachment using Outlook Web Access, it may report the following error message: The action could not be completed because of a conflict with the original item. The conflict may have occurred when an existing item was updated on another computer or device. Open the item again and try making your changes. If the problem continues, contact technical support for your organization.
This is because F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has detected a virus in the attachment. If the user tries to send the message again, the message will be sent but without the attachment. At the same time a blank message with an attachment named "Attachment_information.txt" will remain in the user's Drafts folder. The "Attachment_information.txt" will contain information about the virus detected in the message.

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

P.O Error in Process after copying the existing item in change mode

Hi All,
We are in SRM 5.0 Server 550 and SP15 and are using Extended Classic Scenario.
We are facing a peculiar issue, when an already created P.O (Free text - goods) is changed and a new line item is added either manually or by copying the existing line item and then ordering it, the P.O is going into Error in Process status.
This is happening only when i am adding a new item (material) to the existing line item (material) but when i am adding a service line item in the change mode to the existing material line item, the P.O is getting ordered without any issue.
I believe this is SAP bug and raised with SAP for OSS.
Meanwhile i would be grateful if you can provide any resolution to this issue and provide any OSS note number (If one already exists).
Regards,
Teja

Hi Teja

Why do eBay item listings no longer change colors after being viewed?

Need some help with a problem – in the past, when I opened a specific listing on eBay, it changed color from blue to red when I got back out of the listing. As of late, they do not change and remain blue. As I do 20-30 music title searches daily, the color change was a real time saver as I could tell immediately when I had begun yesterday’s search as it was now red. Without the color change, I have to pay much more attention and invariably end up searching beyond that point until I realize it. Do you have any idea how I can get back to the color change? Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

I've seen more posts from people that also have this issue with visited links while using the Back button, so this behavior may be a regression and caused by using the cache more aggressively.
Does opening the link in a new tab work to show the visited state of links?

When I insert a shape, how do I change the color without changing the texture?

When I insert a shape, how do I change the color without changing the texture?

Hi,
you are working with a percentage width of your tables, for example:
table width="123%
td width="75%"
td width="25%"
So it is simply a arithmetic problem to get the proportional wide (means the ratio of % to cm) of your images, so that they do not break the frame. Certainly you could use (translated from German DW) "properties" and change the sizes there:

Batch change color of existing highlights in a PDF (Acrobat X Pro)

I'm trying to find a script or action that will batch change the color of some existing text highlights in a PDF. The document shows the text being highlighted, but the highlight color is extremely light such that it is visable only with unnecessary effort. Idealy, I'd like to create a script or action that would identify all of the highlights in the document and change their color to a more standard and visable yellow instead of the washed-out and barely visable yellow I have now.
Thanks!
Edit: I'm using Acrobat X Pro in Windows.

You can do this with JavaScript. Note that it could be a problem with the color or the opacity setting, or both. For more information, see:
opacity: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.55.html

How do we update the existing item in Cache (RWB) without know GUID?

Hi Friends,
    We want to update the existing item in Cache (Value Mapping). Assume that Cache Contains like
     IN --> INDIA
     FR --> FRANCE
     EN --> ENGLAND
    We want to change ENGLAND to LONDON. How it is possible ... ? (Assume that above mapping data is replicated from my text file/Oracle Table, already).
Kindly reply.
Kind Regards,
Jegatheeswaran P.

Hi Vijay,
    Whatever the value mapping table we created in Intergration Directory, we can display & edit values of particular item. Because, they are stored in the XI default context 'http://sap.com/xi/XI'. In this case, it is not necessary to know the context and GUID value.
    But, in my case, I have replicated value mapping data from external system (SAP table/Text File/Oracle Table) into RWB --> Cache Monitoring --> Runtime Cache. I use my own context like 'http://aprilbiztec.com/FRAMEWORK/FileToFile'. In this case, how do we edit the particular line item. This is my problem.
Kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.
