Changing layer position vertically

I'm having a problem when adding a new layer that needs to be positioned
below older layers on the timeline.
When I drag the layer down, it -overlays- another layer, rather remaining
separate. Or it positions itself on a layer with other video, which I don't want.
Any help appreciated.

It probably doesn't apply in this case, but a cool tip is to Option-drag a sequence into another sequence and drop it as an Overwrite edit on the higher video track. Option dragging will give you all the individual clips, rather than one big NESTed clip.
(At least I think it's Option-drag. System not on right now. If it's not Option, try the other modifier keys. PBC - Posting Before Coffee.)

How to change the position of label of an item to be in the rigth side?

Hi ,
I want to change the position of the label of an item (displayed as text field) to be in the rigth side of the text field of the item instead on the left side of the text field of the item?
Thanks in advance
Yoel

Hello Yoel,
>> I want to change the position of the label of an item (displayed as text field) to be in the rigth side of the text field of the item instead on the left
Are you talking about a single item among others, which will be left at the left side, or are you talking about the entire page (Right-To-Left page orientation)?
I’m afraid Leo suggestion will not help you either way. The “Horizontal / Vertical Alignment” field, in the label section of the item, pertains to the alignment within the ‘TD’ cell of the item’s label, which by default is located to the left of the item. Within this cell, you can choose several alignment options, including right and left.

Help with Layer Positioning and TimeLine

Hello all, here is my situation:
I am trying to do a simple Layer animation for my home
page... 4 Layers startoff at the right of my webpage(table) and end
up at the left handside, as an example.
My problem is I have a main 1x1 table that is centered, and
that works fine to center all the text and images that are within
it, but the layers that I tried placing within it stay absolute to
the screen and not relative to the table.... and if I try to
specify relative position in the first place for any of the layers
that Layer disapears from my Layer panel and I cannot timeline with
it???!!!
This Started out as a lame trial to avoid making a flash
movie for this animation.. but right now I am more interested in
knowing the possibilities and limitations of using Layers and
Timelines in Dreamweaver.... Any help or comments are most welcome.

I have requested that the thread be removed, Andrew. That's
the best we can
do, I'm afraid. Thing is, it can only be removed from the
webforums, and
not from the local computers of those who have already
downloaded the
message. Also, if Google Groups synched already, then it's
like being
carved in stone....
You can see if that's the case by searching here -

Layer position misBehavior..! -( help ? )-

On any of the various pages I'd been putting together recently, I get confusing responses.
When I come back to verify link settings before publishing (locally), some of the links refuse to be positioned frontmost. Then I discover that a few of the other graphics in its neighborhood refuse to be directed backmost.
I've seen so much of this 'misbehavior' that I've developed the pattern of changing the opacity of any questionable link -(back to almost full)- just to determine from it's coloring where in the layer hierarchy it's decided to settle.
I tried duplicating another, properly behaving link, and changing its setting to the link I'd had to delete. That would only stay front most until it I'd moved it near the old position.
My experience has been that a newly duplicated item, iWeb would deposit on the page as frontmost
But these new links seemed to change their layer mind when they'd get close to the layer position they were replacing. Their now temporarily fully colored area would slide behind any item(s) in the current problem area.
I've tried several workarounds - most of them from within the same page. But the only thing that seems to work consistently has been to select something similar from another page where they seemed to be behaving correctly. Then I'd copy them from there and paste them into the new page as a group and change any text or graphic components as necessary.
It sure has become tedious keeping up with these iWeb neuroses.!
Does anyone know why this might be happening..?
-(my domain file size currently is around 16 mB, probably half of which is temp. archived graphics )-
-( for the interim, totally publishing locally)-
Has anyone a cure for this peripatetic behavior..?
Is there any easier workaround..?
Much advance appreciation for any tediosity relief.!

One way to do that would be to use two images: one blurred, one not. then use a mask to show and hide one or the other. You can probably adapt this example file: http://www.ddg-designs.com/downloads/mask.zip

Hi saran1988
Using Vision Express VIs have there own limitations.
Setting up a manual ROI in express VI is difficult.
Why dont you use the VI attached in my first post?
All you have to do is put the code inside your producer consumer loop and add "IMAQ Clear Overlay.vi."

Is it possible to change the position of beining of text in a standard report

Hi,
I am wondering wether it is possible to change the position of the test (the starting point) in a standard report. I would like to print a label with different texts at different positions. If its not possible in a standard report is there any other way to do it.
Thank you,
Mudda.

Hi Mudda, I don't see any way myself to set any particular starting position for your text. It looks like the best way to emulate this behavior would be to add a new line with lots of tab characters or spaces to place your new text at a specific offset from the left. You can also use Append Table to Report and wire in a 2D string array with only a few positions filled in with your various text labels as shown below. This will space text labels pretty well across the page. Try it out and see if it works for you. You could be more clever and build the 2D array programmatically if you wanted more control over position.

Change of Position in MSS with Process and Forms

Hi,
I'm trying to create authorizations for a change of position in Process and Forms, but every time that I choose a new position to the employee I get the error, No authorization, with this details:
No authorization
Message no. 5A277
Diagnosis
You are not authorized to perform this activity.
System Response
The system cancels the activity you have tried to perform.
Procedure
If necessary, you can maintain missing authorizations in Customizing. Please remember that both the standard authorizations and the structural authorizations are checked.
I have managed to change the position and create positions in SAP with t-code PPOME, but in the MSS Portal it doesn't work.
I use authorization with context ( S_ORIGINCON ) with a FM in the structural profile that returns my objects ( O, S, P ). I also have personnel planning authorization ( PLOG ) for the returned objects.
Any help to overcome this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Diogo Silva.

Hi there,
We stop using SAP code to manipulate the infotype 0001, and started using our own code throw generic services I guess (Not my part of the project).
The problem was that in a change of position for a new created position or even for an existing position there was a need for access to the default position OBJID='99999999'. That's why when you give authorization for object OTYPE=' ' and OBJID = ' ' you will not get an error, because it gives authorization for all objects, witch defeats the purpose of security.
If you debug the functions used by the portal (MSS or ESS) you will see that in some FM on the call stack there is passed a flag that controls wether or not there is a authorization check for that default position.
Basically ww stop using the SAP code, and started calling this FM (BAPI, etc) ourselves, and them we manipulated that flag so that we could circumvent the error.
I hope it was clear, sorry if it was not, truth be told it was a long time since I finish that project.
If you need anymore help just let me know.
Regards,
Diogo Silva.

What is the exact version and what’s your OS?
What does the crash report state?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

Can I change the position of change bars from left margin to right margin?

I want to display the change bars in right page margin. If the page is odd page,The change bars position is in left page margin. If the page is even page,The change bars position is in right page margin.

The global properties for Change bars are found in the Format > Document > Change Bars... menu option (or <esc> o b keyboard shortcut).
The property that you need to change is Position:
Depending upon which of the right or left margins is larger, you'll need to set this to "Side Closer to Page Edge" or "Side Farther..." to position the bars to the outside edges of the respective pages. If you have a symmetric layout, then "Closer" places on the left side (of all pages) and "Farther" places on the right.
However, if you have multiple columns, the change bars will appear between the columns and will shift depending upon which page edge is closer, i.e. the middle columns may be left or right on any given page.

Can I change layer order in PDF?

Acrobat 9 pro: I'm doing a complicated map with layers in PDF format. I found a merge command to merge layers, which is cool. But better option for me is to change layer order, and possibly create new folders within PDF. Is this possible with Acrobat 9 pro?

You can't, but "sub level layers" don't exist in Acrobat. OCGs exist in a single stack, though their NAMES can be grouped in the sidebar panel to make it appear they're in multiple levels. InDesign can create groups like that, Illustrator cannot, and Acrobat can't create them via the UI - however the names in the sidebar are NOT required to match the layer stack in the file, either in order or structure. You can use JavaScript to build the OCGorder array, including any sub-levels you want, and store it in the file.
See the Acrobat JavaScript documentation on the setOCGOrder() function for help and a simple example of populating the array. Groups are created by putting an array within an array, just like any other tree of data.

How to change the position of a rectangle dynamically

Hi,
I am designing a form, where the position of a rectangle has to be changed dynamically. I'm trying with Set_Item_Property(Position property). But I'm unable to change the position. I need some information regarding this graphics object. Normally, we attach block name with the items. Then for these graphics object, what will be attached. I'm using Forms 6i version.
Regards,
Alok Dubey

you can use a stacked canvas with the rectangle in it. Then you can change the position of the canvas at runtime. Problem is, that the canvas overlaps objects...
