Chrome or reflective finish... how ?

Hi,
I have what can best be described as many light grey sausages sitting side by side, I want them to represent sausages made of aluminium,
Is there a quick way of getting them chromed up ?
I have used bevel and emboss to get the original light grey flat sausage shapes looking like 3D sausages, needing to have alternate sausages on alternate layers else the bevel/emboss does odd things to their abutting edges...... but the light grey is not giving me that reflectance I need.

Noel, thanks...I experimented with those settings and it certainly was better than dead light grey. Its when one wants to move say a highlight or expand and whiten it more that it gets frustrating as to just what to tweak in the settings, the graph thingy was yielding three fine stripes, I simplified the peaks and got nothing well defined, one has to fiddle and sometimes you get near then start to lose it again !
What did you use for the brushed metal effect on the flat 2D shapes ?
I have my 'sausages' abutting and at 45 degrees, but I also have some angled differently and I am going to have to apply the effect separately as they look 'muddled'. Wishful thinking but if only there was a way of the filter to identify orientation of artwork to give the correct reflection !
I added a light blue colouring using the colour overlay tick option in bevel/emboss as I reckoned I should see some sky either side of my harsh white highlight streak but it made the highlight streak blue, try as I might I couldnt get the blue either side of the highlight streak and high up with that highlight streak as white. I wanted it reflecting the colour of the base in the lower slopes of the sausage as would happen but also couldnt get it to do so.
If there was a way of choosing an upper reflection colour, a lower reflection colour and a highlight width that would do me, usually/traditionally for chrome airbrush artwork these would be blue, brown/green.
It certainly is an improvement on flat grey though !
JJMack, thanks for the advice, I think that artwork shown would benefit if the reflections followed the shape as would reflections on something of 3D body, has it that abilty ? the lettering looks like flat shet with mild surface twisting. I shall explore the suggestion further.

Hi
I've got a similar problem. iTunes v10.2 worked fine, but when I tried to update it to 10.5 I got a 'Bonjour' error. I eventually solved that but I still couldn't upgrade to 10.5, so I deleted every single Apple, Quicktime, iTunes, etc file on my PC using Revo Unistaller (because the normal Windows Add/Delete programs wouldn't work) but now, when I install the latest iTunes version from scratch (on XP SP3), it says: "the installer encountered errors before it could be configured.... your system has not been modified"
Any ideas?

Firefox 4 has no "Organize Bookmarks" option to import Chrome html bookmarks. How?

Can't import Chrome html bookmarks because the
"bookmark menu at the top" has no "Organize Bookmarks"
option. How can I import the Chrome bookmarks?

the-edmeister: How on earth can "Organize Bookmarks" be misleading! When that is the main reason any one clicked on that button? If I wanted to "organize" my bookmarks, I chose "Organize Bookmarks" went in there and organized them and then closed the window. How can "Show All Bookmarks be more correct?
If you think "Show all Bookmarks" is more correct, then what is the purpose of showing all the bookmarks, what do you do once you can see them? Scroll through and check out what bookmarks you have? The main reason to go in there is to organize your bookmarks! That's why once you are in there you have the menu buttons like "organize", "Import and Export" "sort" etc.
"Show All Bookmarks" is just simply dumb. Why don't they change "Options" to "Show lots of stuff", that would be just as meaningless and unhelpful.

IPhone4 App stuck LOADING, wont finish, how to cancel/delete?

I just replaced my iphone 4 today with a new iphone 4. I restored from backup. My apps started reloading. One is stuck LOADING... and wont finish. I can not delete this app, and it is holding up loading my other apps. How can I stop this app from loading and get the OS to move on to the next app to reload?

Also, I have reset the phone (home and on/off button pushed). When the phone comes back up that app is still Loading... and making no progress. Can it be cancelled? Or should I just pitch the damned thing in the ocean?

When i go to download firefox the download says that it was interrupted so it could not be finished how do i fix this

I would like to download Firefox because some webpages do not show properly, but when i go to download the program when it hits 99% it says that the download was interrupted and could not be finished. what is wrong? and how do i fix it?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

When I watch a YouTube video it won't expand and it says that I don't have h.264 installed, but when I watch it on Chrome it works. How do I fix this?

I wanted to try the new YouTube HTML5 video player, but when I try to expand a video to like 480p or higher, it just stays the same size and the button won't work. I've installed the DivX codex and after that I thought it would work. To be honest, I didn't try it before installing the codec on Chrome, now that I installed it, it does work. I"m horrible with explaining things, so I hope this is fairly clear. Thanks :D

Start to finish, how to setup shared calendar on 2 iphones...

I need to share a work calendar with my boss. We both have an iPhone, I am getting conflicting information on how to do this. Do I need to create a new gmail or yahoo, also when will the calendar update? If I add something will it automatically update on his end as well? Does the push work under 3G or wifi?
So confused, please help.
Jennifer

I log into icloud.com with a computer's browser. In the Calendar page, click the calendars button. There you can designate which calendars to make sharable.

Button down sound needs to finish - how?

I have a flash 8 menu bar that I created and need to have a 1
second sound on the down state of each button. But when the button
is clicked it is going to the new URL and cutting the sound short.
Is there a way to make the movie pause until the sound finishes
before going to the new URL?
Thanks

Personally, I don't know why the built-in buttons' sound functionality works the way it does. Seems odd.
I am new to Actionscritp 3, but it seems I have to use it. This worked for me, in case any other Flash CS4 users have the same problem.
1.) import sound files to the stage (puts it in the library)
2.) right click and export to Actionscript to create classes of the sound files. (mine were named overSound and swooshSound)
3.) give your button an instance name (mine was btn)
3.) in actions panel frame 1 add:
var sndOver:overSound = new overSound();
var sndDown:swooshSound = new swooshSound();
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, playOverSound);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, playDownSound);
function playOverSound(event:MouseEvent):void{
sndOver.play();
function playDownSound(event:MouseEvent):void{
sndDown.play();

Reflection/Introspection: how to check simple vs complex inst variables?

Hi developers,
I need to traverse an object tree (xml based generation) and check whether underlying objects (e.g. instance variables) are primitive types/wrappers (int, Integer, short, Short) or complex types (e.g. Employee, Customer, ...). The purpose is to allow users to directly enter data in primitive fields and to expand complex nodes.
I am using introspection/reflection.
Until now I have come out with the following code:
public class MyTest {
    public static final List<Class> primitiveList;
    static {
     primitiveList = new ArrayList<Class>();
     primitiveList.add(String.class);
     primitiveList.add(Integer.class);
     primitiveList.add(Date.class);
     primitiveList.add(Short.class);
     primitiveList.add(Double.class);
     primitiveList.add(Long.class);
    public static boolean isPrimitive(Object obj) {
     return primitiveList.contains(obj.getClass());
    public static void main(String[] arg){
     String foo = "foo";
     System.out.println(isPrimitive(foo)?"primitive":"complex");
}It looks very low-level to me... Can anyone please suggest a better way to do this?
Thanks and kind regards

My guess is that you will have to write most of this yourself and that it will be custom code.
However, take a look at nakedobjects.org (no, it's not an adult site). It allows users to do exactly what you are trying (or at least partially what you are trying).
You can optimize your method slightly by using common classes (e.g., Number, CharacterSequence, etc.) but then will have to use Class#isAssignableFrom on each.

Any plans to finish "How to Use SpringLayout" tutorial?

Hi Javasoft,
1.4 has been finalized, but the SpringLayout tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/spring.html is still somewhat obtuse and very incomplete (lots of [PENDING:] sections).
Any dates available on the completion of this tutorial, or possibly some more clearly written material?

My theory is that they are waiting until they get some of the bugs/missing features ironed out.

Control key - Alt (also known as the Option key) and Delete key. However remember Chrome is not an Apple product so if that doesn't work you also might want to seek help on a Google forum that supports Chrome.

How do you add BC ecommerce features to Muse?

For more a year I see this same question, not one spokesperson from Adobe has given a straightforward answer. Why are you suggesting we go to 3rd party providers like Wazala, Ecwid, Americart to get add on shopping carts to "insert as HTML" on my Muse built website and are paying 38$ a month to host on BC? Both BC and Muse are Adobe products, I don't know the code but I have a reasonable expectations that your products should work together, if I can't add the same shopping cart features from BC to Muse, really all of BC features to Muse why do I need BC in the first place? When is Adobe going to add all the BC widgets to the Muse library? When is BC going to provide the HTML codes for all the BC features that we can copy and paste in the "insert HTML" option on Muse? Why do I have to go to Wazala? Adobe knew when I used Muse I didn't know the code so don't give me some crazy code based solution, I won't understand anyway. That's why I pay for CC and BC for you to provide it. I would appreciate a response. This is stopping me from making money. My muse site is finished, how do I add the shopping cart from BC? Thank you

You can add Google Calender using iframe which Google provides if you go to calender settings.
Once you insert this code in Muse page through Object > Insert HTML , the calender will be displayed on page.
