  • Preloader in CS4/AS3

    I need help.  I'm trying to create a preloader using CS4/AS3, and so far I've accomplished what I consider to be "one step forward - two steps back".  I've found plenty of guidance for creating/manipulating in AS2, but..... next to nothing for AS3. Everything that I have found tells me what to do with the .swf movie that I've created.  The problem..... creating the .swf.  Can someone guide me in the right direction. 
    So far one of the best resources (most thorough anyway) is www.gotoandlearn.com.  The problem is each tutorial that I've seen still begins with a pre-created .swf movie.
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, kind of..... and not.  The preloader appears to come up when I do a "Publish Preview", but it's instantaneous, then the movie loads.  Ironically, without the preloader, the redirect works great... with the preloader, the movie simply loops.....

  • PDF (created in Indesign CS4) separates in CMYK, in stead of PMS

    I have sent a PDF, created in Indesign CS4, to the printer. I need the design to be printed in PMS colors, but the printer says the PDF color separates in CMYK, not PMS colors.
    I'm at my wits end trying to find where I went wrong (I should add I'm a beginner at all this). I need help...
    Here's what I did:
    I have changed the colors in a CMYK based design of a business card to PMS colors. I have changed the colors of an Illustrator file that is used in the design to PMS colors as well.
    When I look at the separations preview it looks fine, only PMS colors.
    I then created a PDF, using the [High Quality Print] Adobe PDF preset. In Output Color Conversion is set to 'No Color Conversion'. In the Ink Manager 'All spots to process' is not checked. CMYK inks are visible in the Ink Manager, but so are the Pantone Inks I used.
    I noticed one strange thing, the swatch options for Pantone Process Cyan C are different thatn those in other PMS colors, the Colortype is 'spot' but the Color Mode is CMYK, greyed out so that I can't change it to Pantone Solid Coated. Even weirder, I can't delete that strange swatch. I tried adding the pantone colors to my swatches again, in a different file, I added Pantone Cyan C and it looked fine, but when I reopened the swatch options it was strange again.

    Yes, I have added cropmarks and page info to the pdf.
    I checked the separations in Acrobat Pro with a friend. Both Pantone colors and CMYK show up. When I disable the CMYK, nothing of the design disappears (cropmarks and page info don't disappear either, they seem to be in both Pantone and CMYK).
    I saved a new pdf, without crops and page info, and CMYK still shows up in the separations.
    I'll contact the printer tomorrow, I'm pretty sure he should be able to use the file I sent him.
    Thank you all for your help!

  • How do I get Bridge CS6 to recognize collections created in Bridge CS4?

    I just downloaded Photoshop CS6 beta. When I opened Bridge CS6, my collections (created in Bridge CS4) were not visible. Is there a way to import the collections into CS6?

    Hello, on collections can be found on:
    MAC: user/library/application/support/Adobe/Bridge (CS4 - CS5)/collections
    WIN: it should be [osdisk]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS4 -5)\collections
    You could try to import them to the same folder for CS6.

  • Hellllllllllp!  preloader in cs4 - flash newbie

    Hi all,  Please forgive me if this question has been raised in the past as I am a complete newbie when it comes to flash and I am having to edit someone else's preloader - eeeeeeeek.
    Anyway, I need to create  or edit which ever is easier the preloader for a flash banner which someone else created.  I have searched for days (well hours) for an answer to my requirement on line and have gotten exactly nowhere.  I mean if I just wanted a black box with a 100% loading rectangle I'd be sorted by now but that's NOT what I need so I'm pining my hopes on the expertise within this forum.
    What I need is a preloader with a single static graphic and 100% counter which stops running and displays a black rectangle before the main fla file kicks in.  I have tried every which way to achieve this and the closest I got was a single static graphic with a static loading sign which was viewable at every transition in  my main fla file as the graphics were changing????
    Please help me before I lose the will to live or this laptop goes out the window of the two storey building I'm in at the moment.  As I said before I am totally new to flash cs4 and have no concept of code or frames etc so in other words a complete newbie - sorry

    Your best bet might be to find a good tutorial that explains everything step by step.  Here's one you can try

  • User can't open a PDF created with Illustrator CS4

    I'm creating a PDF in Illustrator CS4, and I save it on a server where the user can get it. User is not able to open the file, it says acces denied. When I email that same file to several users, they can open it without a problem. I have checked that there's no restrictions on accessibility on the folder or the file. I wonder if it has to do with windows user permissions...
    Our IT guy couldn't find any problem ....
    Any clue?

  • Problem with Buttons/Form Fields in Acrobat PDF when created in InDesign CS4

    So I have been working for quite some time on an interactive form for an internal client at my job. It has two major components, one is the side bar navigation, which I created using buttons in InDesign which link to bookmarks in the document. The second aspect is that I also created "check boxes" accoring to this video: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/cs4/articles/lrvid4434_ds.html
    I have two major issues:
    1. Whenever I try to convert my boxes to form fields in Acrobat it will not recognize them unless I save out 4 pages at a time (rather than the whole document).
    2. I then have to combine the document and get multiple sets of bookmarks, and some bookamrks are corrupted (not working properly). Even when I try to convert the whole document some of the buttons are corrupted.
    UGH tired of this project, I am really bastardizing the whole thing to get it done, but want to figure out the problem as this is an ongoing document that we will be using over and over again in future years.
    I am attaching the pdf file--this is a pieced together one (saved out 4 pages at a time) (which I did do some fixes to to get buttons to go to proper locations) and the original indesign file (partial file due to size).
    PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME!

    Acrobat's Form Wizard is good but not perfect when creating form data from a PDF. I have never encountered Acrobat not able to finish the process of creating all form fields, but have encountered very slugish performance afterwards when there was a lot of forms, buttons, and other elements within the pages. And I would say, from your attached PDF, it is pretty heavy with content. I am going to suggest an idea, but I have not tested this to see if it would work.
    In InDesign, create a layer for your navigation tabs, and a layer for your text with the check boxes. Create two PDFs from ID, one PDF with just your-nav tabs, the second with just your text with check boxes. In Acrobat, perform the Form Wizard on the second PDF and see if this will finish, the idea here is to reduce the cllutter for the Form Wizard to finish. If it does, you can merge the first PDF as a layer with the second to have a completed document. Again, I have not tested this theory.

  • White boarders around artboard when creating pdf in CS4

    Hi,
    have been trying to find solution for this issue for 4 hours now and im loosing my mind:)) ... so decided to ask some help from you guys.
    Problem: im trying to create pdf file with black background in Illustrator cs4 and white thin boarders keep appearing to the right and bottom of the page. I have streched the background image so that its bigger than the artboard but white lines are still there when pdf is opened?!? I guess there is extremeley easy solution for this (kind a "you forgot to tick the box from x menu") but i just cant figure out .... so all the help is most wellcome!!!
    Thank you in advance!
    Jimi

    @ Jacob --- you're half correct, in that it's a small bug, or smoothing artifact in the Preview application from Apple.
    White boarders go away when you uncheck "Smooth text and line art" in Preview Preferences, under the PDF tab. Since that makes everything very pixelated, I don't recommend keeping that setting on.
    Instead, consider installing Adobe Reader or using Acrobat Pro, where incidentily, the very same phenomonen can occur. In Acrobat Pro, you can also toggle "Smoothing" in the Preferences, Page Display dialog.
    TIP: Preview works best with RGB PDFs, whereas if you are doing print production work, I would suggest using either Acrobat Reader, or Pro which is my preference because of the soft-proofing and print production tools.

  • Illustrator CS4 - Saving Buttons Created in Illustrator CS4

    How do I save a created button in Illustrator cs4 without the whole page - just the button - it was straightforward in illustrator CS3.

    I don't understand your question. In all version of Illustrator you always save the whole page. Do you mean Export? What format? How are you exporting? Are you using Save for Web? Did you turn off Crop to Artboard? Have you tried resizing the artboard to the size of hte button?
    Also, the whole purpose of this forum is to provide help for users of Illustrator. Please try to include some hint about your problem in the title of your post. Imagine if everyone did what you did, calling their posts "Illustrator CS" or "Illustrator CS3". How much fun would it be to go back and check your responses, when there are dozens of posts with the same title?

  • Creating Lines in cs4

    I'm creating a criminal line out background . I'm using the line tool to creat the lines. I have renamed it in the path tool   created a cliiping mask but when I flatten the image once finished the lines  dissappear. I have also tried creating a new layer naming it putting it between my copied layer and background but once again when flattening the image it  dosent keep the lines. I'm using CS4  

    As I wrote what you see when the shape layer is selected is the shape layer's path which is not part of the image. When you select an other layer you see the shape layer on top is all white its fill color turn off the visibility of layer 1 and the background layer leave one of these selected you will see the pixels in the shape layer if there are any. They will be white so you may want to add a layer below it and fill it with black and have it selected so you can see your white shape layer better.

    Hi Zannie 13:

  • Opening CS2 created files in CS4 issue

    we commonly work with foor plans which multiple laters of data.  We are noticing that nearly all of the files created in cs2 are displaying automatically moving layers when opened in CS4.  A layer of symbols or objects simply "shifts" to an alternate location and there is no easy way to fix it.  We are unable to identify a fix tho these files other than locating an old verison of cs2 to open them with.
    any ideas guys!  much appreciated!

    Further to my earlier reply I suddenly remembered that I had created the JPF
    files in Photoshop 3 Extended which fortunately I still have loaded on my
    computer. I was able to open the JPF files into that and save the them as
    JPEG files which I can now open in CS4.  Problem solved !! Thanks again for
    your help. Learning how to use and manipulate Photoshop is a continuous
    process and the interaction between Forum users is invaluable.

  • Creating booklets in CS4 (not printing)

    You could make a booklet out of CS2 through the "Print booklet" feature. It would create a second file that was booked correctly so you could proof any of the background graphics.
    How can I do this in CS4???

    Print Booklet was introduced with CS3 and remains unchanged in CS4. CS2 used a plugin called InBooklet SE which is no longer available because the vendor was purchased by Quark.
    The major difference is that InBooklet allowed you to impose and create a new file, but it was very buggy and often caused problems. Print Booklet only allows you to impose and print, so if you want a screen proof you must print to PDF and open that.
    An alternative is to use one of the imposition scripts that are available, but the one I use is not capable of dealing with cross-spine elements, and I suspect from your post that you have background images that span the spreads.
