Coding mask - mask id
Hi All,
I have configured new coding mask 00-XXXX-XXX-XXXX at client 100. Where 00 is PrjID
I have copied that TR to client 300 dev.
I am able to see the coding mask in dev server. But when I tried to create the project with the coding mask. I am not able to see the format of my complete coding mask in project definition. The format should display beside Mask ID
I am not able to create project as per my coding mask
Please find the attached screen shot
Please help me
Thanks
Praveen
Hi,
can i create a coding mask without giving prjid id it possible.
Please let me know what is the solution.
No, I don't think its possible because when you create a Project, system check available coding mask with the help of PRJID. If you don't give then how system will check coding mask.
As a suggestion, you should create PRJID as your client company shortcode and rest in coding mask section, start with your year and so on.
e.g. If you create coding mask like ABC-XXXX-XXX-XXXX-XX (Lets say ABC is your company name and put it in PRJID)
Now you can create Projects codes like- ABC-2014-ADV or ABC-2015-ADV and so on.
In this way, you can keep your years also by using same mask.

Mask / Masking Using an image with transparent bg
Flash CS4
AS2
Okay - so I must be missing something here -but perhaps people here can help me.
I have a flash movie, and I want to apply a mask to it. The mask I want to apply, or rather, the "shape" of the mask I want to apply is an external image that was made in photoshop. The shape is an irregular one with a bunch of jagged edges. the shape itself is solid, with a transparent background. I've tried saving it as a PNG with transparent b/g, and I've tried importing the PSD file directly into Flash - however - when I go to use this shape for a mask, the mask that is applied is an entire rectangle bounding the imported image - rather than along the edges.
Hopefully you can see what I'm trying to do here, and perhaps offer some insight on how I can get this image into flash (let's stick with the idea that the jagged edged manner of the image is too difficult to recreate inside of flash)...
Thanks for your help!okay...
so I did this now - and now there is no bounding box - there is no box at all - and it's done a reverse mask....
okay - so let me explain the movie.
The movie is a page peel - it peels from the bottom right corner, peels back, and up to the left across the whole page - So basically, I've taken this image of a corner peel - and using motion tween - made the peel larger and larger - and effectively what it does it looks like it's peeling from the corner this parchment paper with a jagged edge... to reveal a blank parchment below it. So I'm trying to set the parchment paper as a "mask" to hide the parts of the animated "peel" that aren't on the parchment - effectively it will make it look like a full page peel away... which is why I need the mask to be the parchment document, rather than the bounding box around it - because then it looks like it's peeling away a transparent square film that is laying on top of this parchment image...
okay... so with that more explained I'm hoping....
Now - I've used the setmask() as outlined in the adobe flash documentation - and now there is no bounding box - but instead wherever the peel is during the animation the parchment shows under that peel animation, and no where else - so it's done a reverse masking... and if I reverse the parameters outlined in the documentation (which isn't right) the peel still shows, but now the parchment doesn't show at all... ugh... either way I still see the full size peel which is now larger than any bounding box that was there before... -
How do i create a mask for an application?
Hello.
I pulled out an flex app out of Flash catalyst, and it has several "fx:designLayer"s containing images that slide off the stage.
I'd like to hide the images going outside the stage borders with a mask.
I tried:
<s:mask>
<s:Group id="mask">
<s:Rect width = "100" height="100">
<s:fill>
<s:SolidColor color="#FF0000"/>
</s:fill>
</s:Rect>
</s:Group>
</s:mask>
but all I see is blank.
I tried to set mask = "{mask}" inside the <s:Application > tag and removing the <mask> tags, which works, but it gives me a warning that bindings to mask cannot be detected.
How do I get the mask for the app with no warnings?
And just for the sake of understanding Flex, how could I fix either one of those approaches?Defining a Group as the mask doesn't seem to work because the Group is never
put on the display list so it doesn't draw its content. Other examples I
saw were using FXG will compiles down into Sprites that draw automatically.
I don't normally do masking like this, I just draw a filled Sprite and
assign it as the mask.
One way I found that worked was this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="800"
minHeight="600"
backgroundColor="#66DDFF"
>
<fx:Declarations>
</fx:Declarations>
<s:Group id="mask" includeInLayout="false" visible="false" >
<s:Rect x="300" y="10" width="600" height="200">
<s:fill>
<s:SolidColor color="#FF0000"/>
</s:fill>
</s:Rect>
</s:Group>
<s:Rect height="341" id="myRandomThing" width="800" x="79.5" y="86.5" >
<s:fill>
<s:LinearGradient rotation="270" scaleX="341" x="115.5" y="341">

<s:GradientEntry color="#FFFFFF" ratio="1"/>

HELP!!!!
I am about to pull my hair out.
I am new to flash and would like to know how to create a
mask. Could someone please send me the step by step instructions on
what to do.
Your help is greatly appreciated.On the stage, you do it the same as in previous version of
Flash. Right click the layer your mask is on and select the 'mask'
option. It will mask any layers grouped under it.
In ActionScript you would do it like this:
** You need to have imported the Button class into your
library, drag a Button component to the stage and then delete it.
Try the code below in an empty flash file to see how it works.
import fl.controls.Button;
var masked:Shape = new Shape();
var g = masked.graphics;
g.beginFill(0xff0000,1);
g.drawRect(0,0,300,300);
g.endFill();
addChild(masked);
var masker:Shape = new Shape();
g = masker.graphics;
g.beginFill(0x000000,1);
g.drawRect(150,150,50,50);
g.endFill();
addChild(masker);
function applyMask(e:MouseEvent = null):void {
masked.mask = masker;
var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.label = "Apply Mask";
myButton.emphasized = true;
myButton.width = 150;
myButton.move(20, 20);
addChild(myButton);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, applyMask);
myButton.y = 325; -
Hello
We're setting up an scenario with datacenter with three WAEs using WCCP to distribute the load.
The core switches are catalyst 6500 so we're using redirect in. L2 redirection and mask to optimize forwarding of redirected packet.
the problem is that the three WAEs are not equal. Two are 612-2GB and the other is a 7341, so we want to use the weight parameter of the wccp tcp-promiscuous command, but I'm not sure if this parameter works also with the mask mode or only with hash mode. And couldn' t find a definitive answer in the documentation.
It's possible?
Regards, FernandoFernando,
Typically we don't see/ nor recommend using such different devices, especially in the data center. The 7341 can handle up to 12000 concurrent optimized connections, and the 612-2GB can only handle up 4800 concurrent optimized connections. So, in the event of a 7341 failure you will lose more than half of the connection capacity you data center can handle.
However, you can use the weight keyword with mask assignment. I just confirmed in my lab two WAEs connected to a 6500 with the following config:
WAE 14.110.3.19
wccp router-list 1 14.110.3.17
wccp tcp-promiscuous mask src-ip-mask 0xf dst-ip-mask 0x0
wccp tcp-promiscuous router-list-num 1 weight 90 l2-redirect mask-assign
wccp version 2
WAE 14.110.3.20
wccp router-list 1 14.110.3.17
wccp tcp-promiscuous mask src-ip-mask 0xf dst-ip-mask 0x0
wccp tcp-promiscuous router-list-num 1 weight 10 l2-redirect mask-assign
wccp version 2
6500 output:
pdi-6500#sh ip wccp 61 det

So you will see the WAE with weight of 90 took 14 of the 16 available buckets.

Complicated Masking always freezes up program???
Hey I've been working on a 4 or 5 second shot with 3 complicated masks masking the movement of 3 people frame by frame. Usually after 10 minutes of working I'll move one of the vector points, and the point will move but what is visually being masked won't apply. this is when I know i gets frozen up a bit. then the color wheel comes on for 10-15 seconds. Now ever vector I move after that does the same thing with the pinwheel. The only way to stop it I save it and reopen it and get 10 more minutes of work in. I'm working on a new mac pro 3.0 dual quad with 6 of memory so I don't think thats an issue.
prefs
Does anyone have any ideas to avoid this, it's slowing up my productivity quite a bit. I have also changed the cache yield in to 90 sometimes 100 percent. Am I missing something here?Well, I took a look at your project - lotta work there - first thing I can say is you didn't take ThatChineseYouth's recommend, which I'll repeat here -
There are ways to improve Motion's interactive performance.
1) If you're using Ram Preview, clear it periodically.
2) Keep your render quality at Draft or Good until the very end.
3) Text is especially draining of resources in Motion 3. Turn off layers you've finished with to improve performance while you work in other areas.
4) Definitely turn off Timeline and Layer thumbnails.
5) Don't have any layer selected when playing - the thumbnail for the Inspector Tab has to be generated when you stop.
Notably, you didn't turn off thumbnails. You might try running activity monitor to see if your ram is being eaten up - when I ran it, just loading the project took a gig of ram away... and I believe you're using HDV clips? Not sure it would have any effect, but you might try exporting your HDV file as a ProRes and linking to that.

Mask clipping only works with absolute widths and heights
Hi all for some reason this works:
<s:BorderContainer height="404" width="504" borderColor="0x000000" borderWeight="2" backgroundColor="0x000000" filters="{[dsf]}" cornerRadius="10">
<s:Group id="mask">
<s:Rect width="500" height="400" radiusX="10" radiusY="10">
<s:fill>
<s:SolidColor/>
</s:fill>
</s:Rect>
</s:Group>
<s:BitmapImage width="100%" height="100%" source="/assets/images/logo.jpg" maskType="alpha" mask="{mask}"/>
</s:BorderContainer>
But if i change the clipping rect to:
<s:Rect left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0" radiusX="10" radiusY="10">
OR
<s:Rect width="100%" height="100%" radiusX="10" radiusY="10">
It does not work as a mask and only displays the background color of the BorderContainer.
I'm using flash builder 4.5
Any reason for this inconsistency?Say thanks to Shongrunden and use binding for this: <s:Rect width="{bc.width}" height="{bc.height}" radiusX="10" radiusY="10">
where bc is your BorderContainer's id. -
Hi,
I'm new to after effect, hope can get some guidances here.
I shot this time lapse sequence of Clark Quay, with camera panning technique, have encounter some issues to editing in after effect,
The panning is not smooth, as I need to adjust the exposure on the camera during the sequence. I presume can use wrap stabilizer to smooth it out, but I also need to blur out some of the building neon signage (Riverside point, Novotel and CQ Clark Quay).
My question is; since the daylight is changing, so are the brightness of signage changing too, and it moves too, how do I create masks to blur the selected areas, and they moving along across the screen?
Thank you so much.The jerks in your time lapse are not going to be smoothed out by Warp Stabilizer. You will have to do some manual realignment of those frames to smooth the shot. The flicker in the lighting can be controlled by Digital Anarchy's De Flicker plug-in. If you want to selectively correct the color in certain parts of the shot you'll need to do figure out how to create some procedural mattes. Red Giant's Colorista II is very good at this.

Colorista II
Both have tutorials.

What am I doing wrong?
I have a MC in my library with a linkage identifier of
"mask". And I have a bunch of MCs on my stage with a instance names
of line_0, line_1, line_2.... etc.
Somehow the mask it not getting set. What am I doing wrong?
for (var i:Number = 0; i < numOfLines; i++){
this.attachMovie("mask", ["mask_" + i],
this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:647, _y:1165});
this["line_" + i].setMask("mask_" + i);
Thanks a lot for any help!I think the problem is with your attachMovie line,
specifically the second argument. That is where you pass in the
name of the newly attached clip. It doesn't need the array brackets
around it.
However your setMask line where you are passing in the name
of the recently attached mask clip will need them!
this["line_"+i].setMask(this["mask_"+i]);
That is because in that case you need to tell flash to look
inside the current timeline (this) and look for the item named
"mask_"+i. Get it? When you give the name, it only needs a string
for the name, because you are telling it where to attach with the
this before the attachMovie. But afterwords you have to tell flash
where to look so then you do need the array notation.
BUT, there is a shortcut that is very useful.
var curLine:MovieClip=this["line_"+i];
var
curMask:MovieClip=this.attachMovie("mask","mask"+i,100+i,{yourobject});
curLine.setMask(curMask);
By defining temporary variables to be your line and your
mask, you can make the code easier to read and manage. Notice the
first one I just use the same code you've got, but assign it to a
variable. This is escpecially good if you are going to use that
several times. I don't know about you, but I have trouble always
typing the square brakets, the quotes, the plus and the variable in
the right order without a type. In this case you type it once and
then use the much easier to read and type curLine over and over.
In the second line, I rely on a how attachMovie works. If you
look it up in the help files, there is a line where it will tell
you that attachMovie returns a reference to the movie it just
attached. In fact many methods return things and you can either
ignore them or use them if you need them. In this case I capture
that return and assign it to curMask. Then again, I can always be
sure that I've got the correct mask by using the simple curMask.
Tricky, huh? -
Mask- color range sometime crash , did it happen to you?
Hi
i run photoshop cs5 under w7 32bit ultimate
sometime when i select a mask , mask palete -> color range photoshop stops to work and give me an error
did it happen to you?
is there a cure?
thanks
cheersThis has been happening to me today only. I have been using this program for about a year now. Today I duplicated a layer, went to select at the top, and selected "Select Color". I selected a lot, most of the image, then when I clicked "Okay" it crashed. I did this several times and it persists. I remembered to copy the error thingy one time and it was this:

Anyway, I came to these forums and saw something about MM fonts - I don't have any. I also saw people with this problem - color select. So, I opened CS5, duplicated the layer and before I could click "Select", it crashed. I forgot to get the report but I got this:

Using Toolkit for CreateJS (v1.1) produces jagged edged Masks
The toolkit is publishing everything from Flash very well, except for Masks. Masks do show up in the published file, but they produce very jagged edges on the result. The mask is just a shape layer. I've tried masking other basic shapes that are broken apart and also tried masking a grouped shape (object), a graphic, and a movie clip. But keep getting an object that has jagged edges where the masking occurs.
Does anybody have any ideas on why this is happening? I'm a flash animator (yes they still exist) not a developer, so the javascript file is 75% mystery sauce to me. In other words, I could be missing something very simple.
I know there are some restrictions on masks as written at the Adobe Developer Connection:
"It also supports mask layers with some restrictions. The mask layer cannot contain symbol instances, bitmaps or text; only vector shapes are supported. Shape tweens and keyframes are supported to allow animated masks."
I've attached the .js code pertaining to the mask creation, not sure if that will help.
Thanks for any help you can provide,

this.onMouseMoveIs this AS3? I'm no expert, but if the image isn't loading I might suggest using an event to wait for the JPG to fully load before executing your other functions. Something like this:
public class loader extends Sprite {
private var loadObj : Loader = new Loader();
public function loader() {
var url : String = "insert_file_path_here";
var target : URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
loadObj.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, initHandler);
loadObj.load(target);
public function initHandler(event:Event):void {
addChild(loadObj);
That would load an external image or movie clip, and when it was ready add it to the stage of the movie. The way I have it written there is for a document class, but you could modify that code for a frame script instead. -
Moving masks between images? (motion 5)
Hi Everyone,
First of all I'm new to Motion 5 and learning through exploration so applogies for any daft questions (I have tried to research this elsewhere but had no luck).
I've created a mask (made up of many masks) to isolate an object from the background. Now that I have the mask I want to copy it to alternate source images but am struggling to do this.
What I've been doing
Creating a new group containing the new image, copying the (multi) mask layer and pasting over the new image.
Result
Although the mask goes over ok the scale of the mask is out of proportion with the image and I cant find a way to rescale the image independant to the mask / mask independant of the image.
If anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jameshi,
if you need to the ability to scale the image and the mask applied to it separatly then apply the mask to the group that the image is in and not to the image. Now you can click on the image and scale it, and the mask will stay the same size.

Dynamic text and animated masking problem?
Hi
Can anyone suggest to me what might be happening here. I will
try and explain step by step... I am using flash MX
I have dynamically created a movieclip which I want to mask -
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovie", 1);
I dynamically add a movieclip into it which I then load a jpg
into -
_root.myMovie.createEmptyMovieClip("image1", 0);
_root.myMovie.image1.createEmptyMovieClip("newFile", 0);
_root.myMovie.image1.newFile.loadMovie("http:...");
I dynamically create another movieclip called myNormalText1
insde the first movie -
_root.myMovie.createEmptyMovieClip("myNormalText1", 2);
this holds a dynamically created text box called mytext -
_root.myMovie.myNormalText1.createTextField("mytext",1,0,0,0,10);
// the text box formating is dynamic, uses devise fonts,
arial and is red ect.
I have then attach a movieclip and use it as a mask to create
a transition effect over _root.myMovie (which holds the image and
text)
_root.attachMovie("mask","mask",5);
_root.myMovie.setMask("mask");
the mask movieclip is what is causing me the problem!!!
method one
when the mask movieclip contains this -
a phisically drawn box that fills the whole page
I use a shape tween to make the box transform into a thin
rectangle down the left hand side of the screen
I get a transition effect which makes _root.mymovie disapear
to the left which is what I want!
The image and text are masked correctly!
*** Please note I am aware that dynamic text boxes using
devise fonts are not displayed correctly under a mask layor when
they are not embeded, in flash MX. I am able to view my movie in a
browser window which uses flash player 8 that now allows dynamic
devise fonts to be masked!
method two
I then wanted to create a different transition effect like
venitian blinds,
so, in my mask movieclip I created several rectangles that
fill the page
again I used a shape tween so they get thinner,
when I tested my movie the same way in the browser,
the mask did not work correctly over my text in
_root.mymovie???
yet the image in _root.mymovie was masked correctly???
the only differance between the two methods is the shape
tween in method one uses one box shape, and the shape tween in
method two uses several rectangler box shapes.
I was wondering if anyone knows why the text is correctly
masked in case one and is not correctly masked in case 2
I want to do other transition effects using masks in this way
and I am having no luck :-(
Thanks for any advice
Claire WallHi
I have been researching this ALOT and found some info that
basically tells me when I use setMask() over dynamic device fonts,
the mask uses its bounding box (the rectangular outside edge of the
whole mask movieclip) as the mask.
In case 1 the mask moviclips bounding box shrinks when the
shape tween plays because there is one rectangular box being
tweened. It appears to mask the text correctly.
In case 2 I have variouse different shape tweens going on
inside the mask movieclip so the bounding box stays the same size
across the whole screen and it wont appear to mask my text
correctly.
I think I have answered my own question, but this still
leaves me stuck! I want to create this venitian blind effect using
masks over devise fonts.
I came up with the idea of using for example 4 different
masks over the one movieclip but again flash doesnt like this and I
guess I can only use one setMask() per movieclip?
Can anyone suggest a way I can use multiple dynamically
created masks on one movieclip or cant it be done?
Thanks

How to retrieve "KeyValue" from multiple Shape paths then "SetValue" to Mask path Keyframes?
Hello AEScriptsComm.,..
i have one question (hopefully the tutorer will answer soon), which is the goal and reason i'm learning ExtendScripts:
I have a few dozen Adobe Illustrator, imported Shape Layers with paths "Created..from Vector Layers" in AEffects.
In order to use a .jsxbin script to change every path to the same number of verticies for animating, i must 1st convert them to Keyframes on the same Mask Path property.
1) i hoped to please be shown\sent an example showing how to,..
a) Get\Retrieve "KeyValue" from multiple, single (Shape Layers):Outlines > Contents > Group > Path > Path as shown in screenshot "4-CreateShapeFromVecLyr2Outlines.JPG",
and then,..
b) "SetValue" from those paths into Mask > Mask Path keyframes also in screenshot "1-ExtendScript_ShapePathsTOMaskPathKeyframes.JPG"?
Really appreciate any help soon as time allows,
JeffHello Xavier,
esp. with my limited experience i can't determine how your concise script works.
Because it 1st errors esp. with undefines i'm thinking at best its incomplete (or algorithm) to give me the gist and i'm to fill in the blanks, which i am doing with the sort of working code example pasted below.
Its written with every definition, declaration and initialization completed, so a novice like me can read the manuals, rev. eng. pertinant script(s), then with fragmented code and understanding quickly connecting to form a complete custom script, as we've all done.
like this:
var comp = app.project.activeItem:
var layer = comp.layers.addSolid([1,1,1,], layerName, comp.width, comp.height, 1.0, comp,duration);
therefore,..
var CompLayerSolid = app.project.activeItem.layers.addSolid([1,1,1,], layerName, comp.width, comp.height, 1.0, comp,duration);
..then with such direct access in other essentials, i can substitute compatible properties, methods, parameters etc. and remaining code that affect the layer objects i need to control simultaneously. Also thereby learning more complex code quickly enough to use.
Only, i hoped to save time here by those already familiar.
But by comparison your script without declarations or many references in AE's CS6 Scripting Guide and online, i can't decipher or understand,
although you wrote this more complete segment at CCow:
"shapeLayer.content.addProperty("ADBE Vector Graphic - Fill");",
..in which is the addProperty i 1st looked for in your script after erroring with "ShapeLayer is undefined"
But i could'nt find a ref. to either .content or content. anywhere in ExtendScript, nor "targetLayer.mask", and "targetLayer" i found once in ref. to ExtendScript as an AE layer name. So perhaps their your variables?, you see i can't determine or use.
i don't know that was'nt meant, maybe a bit to tell me do my own research?, no offence, can't confirm that without reply, hope you will, but my research is why i'm here and your probably advanced script could only help with your assistance.
Thanks anyway,
Cheers.
