Creating multiple audio beeps without multiple layers

I have a animation that need the same tones(audio beeps) about 10+. It's user guide for a keypad lock. I've been fine using action script, but I would like to use the time line (much easier). Is their a way to repeat the same audio in the time line on the same layer (please, if it involves any form of scripting down't bother with a reply).

Hi stijill,
Not sure I fully understand - if you're using triggers and it's working as-is, then is your problem solved?
It is possible to play audio in the timeline without using any scripting: add Play From playback actions to the audio's timeline track at the desired times.
hth,
Joe

Can I create multiple links to the same file without duplicating file?

does anyone know if it is possible to create multiple links to the same file using iWeb without the program automatically making multiple copies of that file in the published output? It seems that one file is created for each link.
Thanks!

Hi Franz,
have a look at the second method on this page

Is there a way to create multiple map tile layers at once?

Hello experts,
I have a small problem. It's mainly a matter of saving some time. I need to create 51 map tile layers in mapviewer, and I would like to this this at one time. I can go to the admin console-->Management-->Manage Map Tile Layers-->Create, and then I can create one at a time. But it really would be nice to create them all at once!
I tried using the XML mode interface, and I can use the following code to create one map tile layer:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<map_tile_server_admin_request>
<create_map_tile_layer data_source="xxxx">
    <map_tile_layer
        name="FOUNDATION"
        http_header_expires="168"
        image_format="PNG">
      <internal_map_source base_map="FOUNDATION"/>
      <tile_storage root_path="/scratch/tilecache" />
      <coordinate_system
          srid="8265"
          minX="-180" maxX="180" minY="-90" maxY="90"/>
      <tile_image width="250" height="250" />
      <zoom_levels levels="10" min_scale="5000" max_scale="10000000">
      </zoom_levels>
    </map_tile_layer>
</create_map_tile_layer>
</map_tile_server_admin_request> And it creates one layer. But when I try this:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<map_tile_server_admin_request>
<create_map_tile_layer data_source="xxxx">
    <map_tile_layer
        name="FOUNDATION"
        http_header_expires="168"
        image_format="PNG">
      <internal_map_source base_map="FOUNDATION"/>
      <tile_storage root_path="/scratch/tilecache" />
      <coordinate_system
          srid="8265"
          minX="-180" maxX="180" minY="-90" maxY="90"/>
      <tile_image width="250" height="250" />
      <zoom_levels levels="10" min_scale="5000" max_scale="10000000">
      </zoom_levels>
    </map_tile_layer>
</create_map_tile_layer>
<create_map_tile_layer data_source="xxxx">
    <map_tile_layer
        name="FOUNDATION_WY"
        http_header_expires="168"
        image_format="PNG">
      <internal_map_source base_map="FOUNDATION_WY"/>
      <tile_storage root_path="/scratch/tilecache" />
      <coordinate_system
          srid="8265"
          minX="-180" maxX="180" minY="-90" maxY="90"/>
      <tile_image width="250" height="250" />
      <zoom_levels levels="10" min_scale="5000" max_scale="10000000">
      </zoom_levels>
    </map_tile_layer>
</create_map_tile_layer>
</map_tile_server_admin_request>...it creates only the first map tile layer in my xml request.
Is there any way to create multiple map tile layers at once?
Thank you!
John

Michael,
It looks like you are right! Thank you for your help.
I still have a small concern. I looked at the documentation and it reads,
"The configuration settings for a cache instance are stored in the USER_SDO_CACHED_MAPS metadata view. You should normally not manipulate this view directly, but should instead use the MapViewer administration tool, which uses this view to configure map cache instances."
But, I tried inserting records into USER_SDO_CACHED_MAPS and it works, and I can't really see any reason not to directly insert records into this table, so...
Perhaps that warning is there simply because potentially you could screw things up tinkering with the table directly.
Cheers!
John

Script for InDesign CS6 - create multiple, prenamed layers

I created a script for Illustrator CS6, in ExtendScript Toolkit, that will create multiple, prenamed layers...see below...
//Apply to myDoc the active document
var layerName = LayerOrderType;
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//define first character and how many layers do you need
var layerName
var numberOfLayers=0;
//Create the layers
for(var i=0; i<=numberOfLayers; i++)
{ var layerName = ":: GRADIENT"; var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName; }
{ var layerName = ":: STRIPES"; var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName; }
{ var layerName = ":: LEGAL"; var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName; }
{ var layerName = ":: BLK BAR"; var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName; }
{ var layerName = ":: FLAME"; var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName; }
{ var layerName = ":: LOGO/TYPE"; var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName; }
{ var layerName = ":: TRIM,ETC"; var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName; }
{ var layerName = ":: LOEC INFO"; var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName; }
// Moves the bottom layer to become the topmost layer
if (documents.length > 0) {
countOfLayers = activeDocument.layers.length;
if (countOfLayers > 1) {
bottomLayer = activeDocument.layers[countOfLayers-1];
bottomLayer.zOrder(ZOrderMethod.BRINGTOFRONT);
else {
alert("The active document only has only 1 layer")
I tried to use this exact code to replicate the same scenario in InDesign but it doesn't work.
Can anybody help me out!?
Thanks in advance

Marijan Tompa's scripts are very nice and useful, however, for this simple task you can try create your own wiht this code:
app.activeDocument.layers.add ({name: "GRADIENT", layerColor: UIColors.red});
app.activeDocument.layers.add ({name: "STRIPES", layerColor: UIColors.lightBlue});
app.activeDocument.layers.add ({name: "LEGAL", layerColor: UIColors.gray});
//merge existing document layer to bottom layer (in this case original layer will be merged to 'GRADIENT')
var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
var myLayerA = myDocument.layers.item(2);
var myLayerB = myDocument.layers.item(3);
myLayerA.merge(myLayerB);
alert("Layers created!");
assume, your document has one layer.
Script creates three new layers, they appear in Scripts palette in this order:
LEGAL
STRIPES
GRADIENT
and merges 'old' layer to bottom layer of newly created set (GRADIENT).
sure, you can add as much layers as you need, just don't forget modify LayerA and LayerB numbers accordingly.
Or disable second part of the script at all, if you don't want anything to be merged.

How can I create multiple accounts without the necessity to create multiple email addresses? I now have 2 i-phones (mine and my wife's), 1 i-pad (mine), 1 i-pad mini (10 year old's), and 1 I-pod touch (11 year old's). I would like to maintain purchase control, but would like to be able to have a separate account ID for each person. Is that possible?

Each email address can only be on one iTunes account, and all purchases are tied to the account that buys them. If you want to have separate iTunes accounts on each then you will need separate email accounts for each iTunes account

Creating Multiple different IDocs without BPM

Hi all,
I have a scenario in where I have a input structure and have to create multiple different IDocs (the types of the IDocs are also different)
For example,
Input XML will create 5 IDocs of type A, 3 IDocs of type B, 1 IDocs of type C, no IDocs for type D and 10 IDocs for type E.
Is this possible without BPM? This will be a complex Mapping. In BPM I am sure for every type to create one send step would be easy. But would it be more efficient?
Thanks.

something from the blog might be useful for you:
Messages that result from the split in a mapping-based message split are sent using one AE. So only adapters running on
the AE are supported. In particular, this means that target IDOC message splits are not supported since the IDOC adapter is not
part of the AE.

Creating an Action to turn off multiple layers

I am using CS4 and I was wondering if it's possible to create an action to turn off multiple layers. We have to save a version of our files with only one layer showing, and to manually turn of the unwanted layers is getting to be a pain. Thanks for the help!

Ok, here goes. An example would be a template for a spatula that’s available in 5 different colors. Each color has a different layer (named for its respective color). Then there may be a flashlight that only has 2 layers (for its respective colors). Each product would then have a “foreground” layer & an “imprint” layer. These layers have the same names on every product. I need to keep the imprint layer turned on, but turn off every other layer.
Sorry if I’ve completely confused you! J

How do I create holes through multiple layers?

I'd like to use boxes to punch holes into the layered artwork below them. I want the result to look exactly like this image, but with the white boxes being transparent holes.
This seems so simple, but I can't find any combination of layers/pathfinder tools/compound shapes/or clipping masks that will produce this result. No matter what, I end up losing part of the artwork (usually the topo lines and the black bar).
What am I missing??
Thanks in advance for any advice.

mirvlem,
You may:
1) Select the boxes to become holes and Object>Group (if nort already);
2) Select everything and in the Transparence palette flyout tick Make Opacity Mask with Clip unticked and Invert mask ticked.
There seems to be no need for multiple layers, but the Opacity mask punches through them all right.

How do you copy a selected area of multiple layers?

I'm trying to create an animated gif using PS and I can't find out how to copy multiple layers. Right now I have 110 different layers and I want to select the same portion of every layer and copy it into a new file without flattening the image. So I want to be able to start, and end with, 110 layers. The 110 different layers are all separate pictures of my desktop and I want to crop out most of the desktop to focus on one area in particular. Is there anyway to do this?

One could delete, select next layer, delete, select next layer … which should be Action-able.
Or duplicate the image and crop it to the intended size.
Or why not simply put the Layers into a Group and add a Layer Mask to that?

Create multiple copies with multiple develop settings in one keystroke (like PS action)?

Hi,
I'm trying to move over from PS to LR in my tourist photo studio (it's easier to train employees, it's more intuitive, it's cheaper, etc.). However, there is one element missing that I simply can't do without. We're located in a theme park and we handle A LOT of people in a day so we're are a very fast paced studio, I like to call it fast food photography. Customers come in, have their photos taken, pick them out immediately and get prints right away (hopefully all in less than half an hour). I've always used Photoshop actions to make everything very fast and efficient (afterall, the less time we spend tinkering on a computer the more time we can spend interacting with our guests). As of now, customers get to pick the finish of their photo so I have an action that creates four layers, each with a different effect (b&w, antique, desaturated, full color). We then can click the layers on and off to show the customer what each finish looks like. I've been trying to replicate this in LR without any luck. The best I can figure out is to use virtual copies and create a preset for each effect. However, we simply don't have the time to click "create virtual copy" three times in succession then select each one and apply a different preset to create the four effects for one image. Esepcially since each customer usually buys multiple images we'd have to do that many times for just one sitting. It seems simple in theory, but the amount of time it takes to create 3-18+ virtual copies each with different presets applied adds up drastically. Clicking a function key for each image is an amazing time saver. The focus of our business is very customer oriented, and we've tried our best to create a workflow where we face our guests more than we face our computer monitors. If anyone knows of anyway to accomplish what I described in PS in an equally efficient manner in LR that would be wonderful. Perhaps there's a tactic I haven't thought of yet.

What you describe cannot be done directly in Lr, i.e. there is - unfortunately - no way to create multiple Virtual Copies (VC) with one command.
But in Lr you don't need multiple VCs. If you have created presets for each "look" you can just apply one "look", i.e one preset after the other the one-and-the-same VC. And you can apply the "looks" i.e. presets in any order and go back-and-forth numerous times. Since the Lr edits are not pixel edits but parametric (only a set of data in the Lr database = catalog), there is no harm done if you apply the same set of presets numerous times in various order. In Photoshop you would switch layers on and off (maybe you use layer comps), in Lr you would switch from one preset to the other for the same VC - or even for the original.
And, you can always go back to the original state the photo was in when it was imported.
If the customer likes one preset, just switch over to the Print Module, apply your Print Preset and print. If the customer likes three presets, go back to the Develop Module click on the other preset, go back to the Print Module ... go back to the Develop Module, click on the third preset .... etc.
PS: I bet Lr could be even faster than Photoshop

Multiple selections to multiple layers or multiple files with one go ?

Hi,
how to convert multiple selections to multiple layers or multiple files with one go ?
Thanks!

You may want to ask over at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_scripting?view=discussions
or
http://ps-scripts.com/bb/
I think there are Scripts about for the task or at least ones that could be adapted without too much problems.
The usual approach is, I think, creating a Work Path from a Selection and then using (expanded) Selections based on the individual subPathItems to intersect with the original selection.
Of course there are possibilities for bad results …

Create multiple textures

Hi, how can i create multiple diffuse textures (advanced 3D skin mode)?

Firstly, thanks for your answer. Without multi-layers paradigm is whole 3d texturing in PSD - is good choice for children only. Look at on proff tools such as DeepPaint or Maxon Body3D.
To Adobe: make it better or never.

Import Illustrator File with multiple layers and sublayers as composition retaining all layers and sublayers

I have drawn a country map with multiple layers and sublayers including streets, cities, rail lines, ...
Now I want to create a template for my collegues in After Effects.
For this I want to import the .ai file into After Effects retaining all sublayers and layers in compositions and subcompositions.
When I do that, I get the first couple of layers correctly, the other ones comes in one merged composition.
What can I do, to get all layers each as a layer in After Effects?
Yours, Raphael

Illustrator only imports the first level of layers. If you have groups or paths below you need to release the groups to layers. The layers will then be stacked in order as sub layers. Then you need to move them up.
The steps are to select a layer in the Illustrator layer panel, then without selecting any specific element in the layer click on the menu in the top right corner and select release to layers. All a elements in that layer will be converted to layers. Now select them all and drag them up above the original layer. This will leave the original layer empty and put all elements in new layers.
Here's a tutorial I did a zillion years ago which uses this technique to turn a blend into a morph.

I want to make a new layer of multiple items on multiple layers...

Hello,
This is probably easy, but I can't figure it out.
I have a multi layered document and I don't want to flatten things to do this.
Sure I can go the long route, but there has gotta be a better way that I just
do not know about.
I have drawn a selection with the marquee tool. But the items this selection includes are all on separate
layers.
Without merging them, how can I make a new layer out of this selection?
I'm on CS4
Thanks
Nikki

Stamp multiple layers or linked layers
When you stamp multiple selected layers or linked layers, Photoshop creates a new layer containing the merged content.
Select multiple layers.
Press Ctrl+Alt+E (Windows) or Command+Option+E (Mac OS).
Stamp all visible layers
Turn visibility on for the layers you want to merge.
Do one of the following:
Press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E (Windows) or Shift+Command+Option+E (Mac OS).
Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), and choose Layer > Merge Visible.
Photoshop creates a new layer containing the merged content.

Apply multiple master pages to multiple layers

I have a document that has multiple layer and I need to apply a different master page to each layer.
Layers are as follows and in this order:
     USA Pricing
     No Pricing
     Euro Pricing
     Yen Pricing
     and so on.
I have a master page created for each versions layer. I lock all layers except the USA layer and apply the USA Pricing master to that layer it looks great.
So I lock that layer and unlock the next layer and apply the applicable master to that layer and so on but, even though the other layers are locked what ever master
I last applied is the one that sticks to all layers.
How do you get the master page to stick to each layer without using the Master page override to each layer and making it become part of the page?
If you do that and then you have a change to the Master page on a specific layer/version you have to edit every page and can not simply make a global change on the applicable master!!
Thank you in advance for any help that can be given.

Do you mean that only one master page can be applied per page and that it is automatically applied to all layers of that page?
"so it sounds like you need to create a new master page with the attributes you need for each layer included in one place."
I don't understand what you mean by this? I have created multiple master pages that have everything I need on them to be applied to each layer!
They just don't stick to the individual layer! Maybe it the "included in one place" part of your reply that will work but, I don't understand what you mean by that!
