Double masking an object - inner and an outer.

Sorry guys..this should be a simple one but its got me stumped and I am going round in circles..
I want to mask the screen of an I-pad type tablet to insert a screen image ....no problem with that......but I also want to mask the outside of the device and insert a new back ground plate.
I have tried 2 masks on same layer and also seperate masks on original and duplicate layer.
Is there any way to do it without a precomp?
Thanx

Thanx all for your help.
Play with the masking modes and the stacking order of the masks. A simple outside mask set to add and an inside mask set to subtract should do the trick.
This works perfectly thanx....but it seems that you need to do it in that order.  Outside mask first then inside mask.  Re arranging the mask stacking order is not the way to go if you create the masks in the other order.
A precomp is effective as well but a little less flexible and I was trying to maintain the flexibilty in the workflow because I had a few of these to do.

  • How can I have an object toggle between fade out and fade in with button?

    Hello all,
    I have a problem and I was hoping someone out there could help me out with it.
    I have smart shape that is set to show for "rest of project" on one of my early slides.  It is not visible in output in the properties, but when a user clicks a button in the project, it should fade in and then stay visible.  If the user clicks the same button again, it should fade out and stay hidden.  So rather than toggle between show and hide, which I know how to do, I want it to toggle between fade in and fade out.  I am having trouble with this.  Setting its transition to fade in and fade out in the properties of the smart shape doesn't help...
    Here is the advanced action I have attached to the button that should allow the user to toggle between fade in and fade out.  The "if" parts works -- the object fades in and then finally "shows" at 100% the "else" part almost works.  It fades out, disappears, but then shows again, which I obviously dont want it to do.  I want it to stay hidden.
    If you can help, it would be great!! 

    I Don't
    But as a work around you could try increasing the canvas size to match the illustrator file, paste in the object then crop off the excess canvas in photoshop

  • Two table sources - inner and outer join

    Hi All - thanks for your help in advance!
    I have factA inner joined to dimA on pkA. However, I also want the ability to see all of dimA even if there's no fact associated. I've aliased dimA to dimB. So, factA is inner joined to dimA (on pkA) and factA is also outer joined to dimB (on pkB).
    I want just one presentable table and one logical table. In my Logical table, I have dimA and dimB as the logical table sources. Both pkA and pkB are columns and each of the other attributes are mapped to both dimA and dimB.
    In my presentation layer, I have all the columns as well as both pkA and pkB. Depending if my analysis has pkA (inner) or pkB (outer), I want to be able to pull all the other attribute columns as well. Right now, even if I have pkB (outer) in the analysis, all the other attribute columns are still null. I don't want to have to have 2 presentation tables (one for inner and another for outer). Is this possible? Or maybe there's a better way to go at it?

  • When you double click the circle buttom, and the little bar pops up from what you have been using... is it using data while being in there? is it a good idea to minimize evertthing out of there often so its not using more data ? or does it not matter?

    thanks!

    Not sure if it uses data, but that allows you to multitask.  To save battery life you should close out of all the apps.

  • Can't access Web Site, super slowly and time out!

    Hi all,
    I am using Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V, HP DL360 G6 Server
    The Master OS have a NIC1 to VLAN1 Switch (Also in the Cisco SG300 Switch)
    Plus other NIC2 connect to Cisco SG300 28 Switch (Running in L3 Mode), this Cisco then connect  to a SonicWALL NSA 2400.
    I build some VLAN31 on SonicWALL NSA 2400, and add this to the Cisco SG300 as Truck Port connect Both...
    Other Port on the SG300 are untouch, so mean default running mode is Truck mode, and one of it port connect to the NIC2 to the Server ...
    Ok, if Hyper-V VM, not enable VLAN in the Hyper-V Management in 2012 R2, it can take the DHCP from the SonicWALL NSA 2400 no problems, can see other LAN (VLAN1) machine well both direction, and go to Internet too.
    But, if I setting the VLAN31 on Hyper Manager to some VM, it can take the DHCP and take the IP from SonicWALL for this VALN31, include DNS, GW etc...
    But ... it just can ping internet, for example, ping www.yahoo.com it ok, but open IE, enter www.yahoo.com will super super slowly and time out, if running CentOS 6.5 Linux, enter yum update, it total not work, time out, 0.2kb/s etc. But it can ping to www.yahoo.com
    no problems...
    And If Windows run routert www.yahoo.com, over 10s to see next hub ...
    I am double checked SonicWALL NSA2400 Firewall Policy is allow all VLAN and LAN to WAN, and VLAN TO VLAN too..
    What is wrong on the Hyper-V VLAN? Do I am setting wrong of my switch port mode (Access/Trunking)?
    I am now out of direction what is go on to troubleshooting this.
    Thank you.

  • Double computer name on network and NAT issue with Back to My Mac

    These are the problems I am having:
    When my MacPro workstation (which on the network is named "The Beast") wakes from sleep - I get a message saying "there is already a computer on the network with the name "The Beast". Other computers on the network can now find you at "The Beast-2"" and it gives me a new name in the file sharing preferences - even though it is the only computer on the network with that name.
    Why is this happening???
    The other problem is with BackTo My Mac - When I try to enable it - I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing" - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
    Here is my network setup which consists of the Modem / Router from my ISP - an Airport Extreme Base Station and one Airport Express - which is connected to my MacPro via ethernet. The MacPro does not have an airport card installed and is running OSX 10.6.8 - all other computers / devices are running 10.7.x and iOS6).
    VDSL Modem / Router (from Internet provider) with wireless turned off - (so it is not broadcasting a competing wireless signal) - connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme Base Station.
    Here are all the settings on the AEBS and the Airport Express: - I am using Airport Utility 5.6.1 on my Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.8 - so the setup prefs are different than the newer version of Airport Utility found on 10.7.x systems - but both work fine. Although I did notice that the option to allow ethernet clients to connect to the Airport Express does not exist (or I just didn't find it) in the newer version of Airport Utility.
    Airport Extreme Base Station is set up as follows:
    Wireless Mode: Create a Wireless Network
    Wireless Settings:
    Allow this network to be extended IS CHECKED
    Radio Mode: 802.11n (b and g compatible)
    Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Access Control:
    MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
    Internet Settings:
    Internet Connection:
    Connect Using: Ethernet
    Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode).
    TCP/IP:
    Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    Advanced Settings:
    Logging & Statistics:
    Syslog Destination Address is blank (as in nothing appears in this field).
    Syslog Level: 5 - Notice
    Allow SNMP is CHECKED
    MobileMe:
    Back to my Mac is turned off - but if I try to turn it on I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
    IPv6:
    IPv6 Mode: Link-local only
    As stated - my MacPro with no wifi card -  is connected via ethernet to an Airport Express which connects wirelessly to the AEBS for network and internet access.
    Airport Express Settings:
    Airport Settings:
    Wireless Mode: Join a Wireless Network
    Allow Ethernet Clients IS CHECKED
    Wireless Security WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Internet Settings: Are grayed out (as in I can't change these settings - I assume because they are being controlled by the AEBS) and read as follows:
    Connect Using: Wireless Network
    Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode)
    TCP/IP:
    Configure IPv4: using DHCP
    All other settings are identical to the AEBS.
    All other WiFi devices in the house (MacBook Pro, iPhones, iPad's, iMac, Apple TV, Nintendo Wii etc…all are able to connect to the network and connect to the internet - no problem.
    Thanks for any insights into what might be causing the double name on the network and why it is asking me to turn off NAT addressing - when both my Airport devices are in Bridge Mode?

    I am also having this issue... any updates on this??

  • A simple selection of objects behind and much more

    Selecting things under a different object in the Illustartor is sometimes very annoying.
    For proper selection of objects was invented several tools. Please use them alternately depending on the situation.
    - outline mode
    - preferences = object selections by patch only
    - menu Lock = lock selection, All artwork above other layers
    + isloate mode
    + smart guides
    + layers (pity that to this day can not enable the option automatically locates the object)
    But still the selection of one object over time requires a lot of time and clicking. Especially if they are just above or below.
    The Blender is such a great option. According to me, works well and is easy to use. You can work on hundreds of superimposed objects, and continues to act quickly. it is not perfect but I would very I would see in Illustrtaor. However, this requires a better reflection of the current use of the objects in Illustrator than it is today.
    New Method of Selection:
    1. Click on an object once and you select an object on top,
    2. for any re-clicking LBM selects an object underneath. Simple, fast and understandable.
    +. By clicking and selecting objects at the same time watching a dream in which Appearance palette name and see what properties of the selected object.
    +. Adding to the selection or subtraction:
             - When I have selected the correct object can click on the layer name
              - Layer palette displays a view of all layers
              - New: Automatically expanding palette view to show the structure of the objectindicated in the structure of the layers and stack.
              - Now I can easily add or subtract to the selection of other objects or select just another object.
    Important to work with this method to modify the interface illustartor.
    1. Palette Appearance must expand and show more things. For example, as in this description:
        http://forums.adobe.com/message/3024803#3024803
    2. This rapid work with objects should also improve the Illustrator interface and make it more useful.
         Quick change opportunity to give a name or a group or object.
         Even now it is missing this opportunity. Even now it is missing this opportunity. For example, click and change the name in these views:
         One Clik and change name of layers or object or group or patch...
    Note. If it can be easily and quickly rename objects. RBM is an option on the menu will show that the category of the popup list of objects under the cursor.
      It would be enough to click on the object and would be selected. Super for me!
    3. New. The new functionality.
         - Appearance palette retains the settings of the object was last selected. Just as color palette ikon "Out of... Click to correct".
    The appearance palette, she could be named: "Last appearance use. Click to Add or Click+Alt to show".
         - This allows me to select a different object, and quickly give it the properties of the previous one.
         - Or click on the icon of the previous appearance when they are showing up and I choose only the one I want to use the new facility, eg by drag & drop the icon of the appearance of the currently selected object. — Something like a story last selected object appearance to choose to use the newfacility.
    Or better. Drop-down list to the history of recently used names of objects.
    The choice would result in giving the highlighted current object stored Apperance.Alt + Click does not change the selected object apperance just simply list Apperance with the possibility of drag and drop individual features in the current Apperance select object.
    Appearance to such a list could choose to display in the view layers palette by clicking on the icon Apperance.
    Of course, the idea presented is not conclusive, show just the way we work withillustartor expect from a modern program.
    After the present work in Illustartorze are really very complex and currentlydevotes much time on it just to check something.
    Currently Illustartor reminds me of a Christmas tree with different ideas than theprofessional tool for my daily earning.
    I spend my time like other colleagues on this forum because I support the idea, and Adobe Illustrator.
    I hope someone appreciates it. I've been looking around for an idea for anotherprogram to work with vectors.

  • Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different plug sockets, different plugs/cables, help

    Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box that came with it but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different mains plug sockets around the house with no joy, I have tried different USB mains plugs but again no joy, I tried using my new iPad cable into the USB port of my MacBook Pro laptop but still no joy, then, I tried using my old iPod classic cable into my MacBook Pro and that worked, so I have a way of charging my new iPad3 but its not practical as i have to take my MacBook Pro everywhere if I want to charge it which kind of defeats the object of having an iPad, has anybody experienced anything similar and how was it fixed? can anybody help me please...

    Grumpy Gator,
    Please note it did say at the store's discretion, but people have actually been able to return it to the on-line store. (I only saw a couple who tried.)
    And given the outcry, I would think Apple might have other Apple stores join in. Just in case, though, if you can, you might bring it in today.
    If it's an ARS, my guess is they can stick to their 14 day return. Apple cannot force them to do it. SO if it's not bought directly from Apple, and it's past the 14 day deal, I'd bring it in to the store today if you have one. When I gave people the cnet.com site, I gave it so people could read it and know only Apple had made the decision for Apple. And I suggested to some that an Apple reseller would probably stick with their own return policy.
    Because Arnie had just bought his, he should be able to return it to Apple or an ARS because an ARS has to have some kind of full refund or at least return for credit within 7 or 14 days of purchase.
    Hope this helps.

  • Slow Macbook pro, ~1 year old;  Really HUGE Page Ins and Page Outs size, think 400 GB In vs 100 GB Out

    Hi everyone, I have a macbook pro and it's so slow.  After scouring the internet a lot, and CCleaning my computer 359802 times and using Onyx, I finally realized why it's so s low.....my Page Ins and Page Outs are so big.  I have attached a screenshot that illustrates this.
    I am not sure how my computer ballooned to this size, but it makes sense why it's like a turtle and is slower than my 4 year old Sony. 
    Can someone help me?? I am not sure what processes to get rid of and I feel like Google Chrome is taking up huge amounts of my Ram.  I mean yeah I open Google Chrome and run like 8 tabs and have Word and iTunes open, but my 4 years old Sony could run faster than this and I used to open like 12+ tabs on Chrome while running Word, Excel, Powerpoint, iTunes, and VLC on my Sony.  Which was nowhere near as powerful as this computer.  Supposedly.
    My computer Specs are:
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM
    Intel HD  Graphics 384 MB
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
    I would really appreciate any advice to get this down to normal.....since I hear most ppl have page ins and page outs in the MB or even KB.  Right now I'm running Google Chrome, Word, Ppowerpoint, iTunes, and Adobe PDF Reader.  I don't think this should be too unreasonable of work load.
    Thank you

    The problem is not that your page ins are big, as that value resets when you reboot the system. However, your page outs are are almost 25% of your page ins, which means you can use more memory for the applications you run.  A page out is done when memory is full, and the system needs to add something else to memory, so it writes some memory to the hard drive to make room.  The guideline to add more memory is 10% to 15% page outs greater than page in's, and yours are more than that.
    Your MacBook Pro can handle up to 16GB of memory. You might want to consider upgrading to 8GB, which would double what you have today. OWC and Crucial are two sources for quality memory. $42 for 8GB from Crucial, and you can usually find a % off coupon on retailmenot.com.

    Thanks for your help, but I still got a question for you.
    Do you think the way I register the even handler to the TextArea is correct?
    Because the compailer complains about that which like
    "D:\101\fig13_27\PanelDemo.java:43: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol  : method addActionListener (PanelDemo.TextAreaHandler)
    location: class javax.swing.JTextArea
          tAreaDown.addActionListener(new TextAreaHandler());

  • "select an object" tool is grayed out in acrobat X Pro

    "select an object" tool is grayed out in acrobat X Pro

    You are correct.
    i was confusing select an object with select tool for text and graphics.  they look identical.
    i always thought it would be a good idea to have some type of explanation that appeared in front of a grayed out option, so the user could understand why it is grayed out
    thank you to all the group that helped
