Dynamic masking not working

Hi all,
i use:
_root.attachMovie("mask", "msk", 3);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("imgCont", 1);
So I create a movie clip that i want to mask
then i load an image into the created Mc
loadMovie("test.jpg",imgCont);
then i mask the imgCont MC using the msk MC
imgCont.setMask("msk");
doesn't work, any ideas ?
thanx i.a.
M

hi, i have the same problem.. can you post the code that
solved your problem please?
so we all can see how it works correctly
and how you set the mask a few frames/sec further in code.

Dynamic mask not working once loaded

I have a movie that has a dynamic mask in it. Once I load
that file into my other movie, it no longer works.
I am not even sure to start to look. It makes no sense to me.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

re-assign the mask after loading is complete.

Mask not working correctly?

Hi every one!
I have this problem with my mask not working properly, i have an image, and it has an red fruit sitting on a table,
i have to make the picture sepia using an adjustment layer ( my lecturer says it MUST be done that way)
but leaving the fruit as red as possible. So when i do this i MUST use the layer mask provided by the
adjustment layer, but what is happening is the orange is going a very faded red ( but not quite sepia), the table BG does go sepia..
so its KIND OF working but not really.
Cheers
Bunny Face

Check your mask by OPTION CLICKING on the mask icon on the specific layer. This will show you a greyscale mask. BLACK hides, WHITE REVEALS. SO obviously grey does half of each! So if you dont want the apple to be affected by the layer mask you must paint it BLACK in the mask of that adjustment layer.

Why Does Dynamic Link Not Work

I purchased the CS5 Adobe Production Premium. I have been working in Premiere and I have been learning about how to use Dynamic Link. I want to be able to alter clips in After Effects and bring them back and forth into Premiere. When I go to File/ Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effect Composition, I get this message:
Adobe Dynamic Link Requires Adobe Production Premium.
Since I own production premium, I do not know why I am getting this message. I have reinstalled the CS5 Production Premium Software twice and it still gives me the same message. What can I do to get Dynamic Link Working.

Thank you for the tip. Could you possibly tell me how to deactivate and
then reactivate the suite. I am using a Macbook Pro laptop running OS
10.6.4. I do not even know where to start.

Subject:        Why Does Dynamic Link Not Work
Deactivate the software (not uninstall), and then reactivate the suite.
This often fixes this. You can opt to leave the serial number on the
system; no need to clear it and re-enter it.

(three-way color corrector) secondary color correction masks not working?

Hi I'm using PP 2014 on Yosemite. Anyone notice (three-way color corrector) secondary color correction masks not working?

strange. same stats here but im getting intermittent.... sometimes i can use the mask and the effect is only limited to the masked area. most of the time the masked area is ignored and the effect is applied to the whole image

Mask not working correctly in swf

Hai Friends,
I am trying to do a simple masking which works correctly in
fla but when viewed in swf the text which is masked is not
seen..What i did is first i wrote some text converted it to
movieclip then in another layer i did draw a rectangle with some
color and right clicked the rectangle and masked it When viewed in
fla the masked text is viewable but when converted to swf the text
is not seen Is it some problem with Flash Can you please help me...

Text is not able to be masked in Flash by default.
You CAN do this IF you embed your text (or simply break it
apart into vectors if it doesn't need to be dynamic).
To break apart - select your text and hit Ctrl+B twice (Cmd+B
on Mac). This will make the text vectors, thus negating the
problem.
Otherwise, you need to embed the fonts in 2 ways. First, if
you like, you can click the "Embed fonts" button in the properties
panel, and select what to embed. OR, you can go to the Library's
drop-menu and select "New Font" - choose your font, and click OK.
Either of these methods embeds your font. BUT, there is one more
step. You need to give your text box an instanceName, go to the
actions panel, and enter the following:
myTextBox.embedFonts = true;
This will finish the embed process to allow the masking (and
alpha changes) to work for the text.

Dynamic configuration not working in Java mapping

Hi All,
I have a scenario where i am using java mapping. In this i am doing following
1)Read file name from input message header
2)set file name in output message Header
3) set Directory name in output message Header
i have used following code .. but iit is not working... when i test end to end... in reciver communication channel it is failing stating " message failed as "Directory is not set in Header. Also i checked in SXMB_MONI "dynamic configuration".It is not showing Directory.
this is code.
public void transform(TransformationInput transformationInput,TransformationOutput transformationOutput)
               throws StreamTransformationException {
               private Map para;
               String Directory ;
               String inputFileName;
               String var1 = "ABC";
               para = transformationInput.getInputHeader().getAll();
               DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) para
                         .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
               DynamicConfigurationKey keyFileName1 = DynamicConfigurationKey
               .create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
                     inputFileName = conf.get(keyFileName1);
               DynamicConfigurationKey keyFilename = DynamicConfigurationKey
                         .create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
               DynamicConfigurationKey keyDirecory = DynamicConfigurationKey
                         .create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
               Directory = "tmp/"+var1;
               conf.put(keyFilename,inputFileName);
               conf.put(keyDirecory, Directory);
I am in PI 7.1 ,   and in eclipse its showing warning that Para is not used.
Can anyone show some lights.
Also is there any way to debug this?? like is there any function by which i can write the trace for each step to see those in MONI.

Method name:   public void createDirectory(Resultlist result, Container container)throws StreamTransformationException
//Use Simple UDF and do the following lines
String Directory ;
String inputFileName;
String var1 = "ABC";
DynamicConfiguration conf = container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey keyFileName1 = DynamicConfigurationKey
               .create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
inputFileName = conf.get(keyFileName1);
DynamicConfigurationKey keyFilename = DynamicConfigurationKey
               .create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
DynamicConfigurationKey keyDirecory = DynamicConfigurationKey
               .create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
Directory = "tmp/"+var1;
conf.put(keyFilename,inputFileName);
conf.put(keyDirecory, Directory);
and remove these 3 lines
//private Map para;
//para = transformationInput.getInputHeader().getAll();
//DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) para.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION
>>I am in PI 7.1 , and in eclipse its showing warning that Para is not used.Can anyone show some lights.
You can simply remove declaring Map Para line... The eclipse gives warning because you dont assign values for it and you are trying to use...
For using the same input file name in output side, you dont need coding ... you need only for the directory...
Enable ASMA attributes in the channel.

Dynamic Stamps Not Working in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hi everyone, the dynamic stamps on Adobe Simultaneous Review are no longer working for us. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (it works for me) but it's not working for many other people (they have Adobe Acrobat Pro X). Does anyone know how we can fix this. I think the problem started occurring a few months ago.
Many Thanks!
Joy

You can shutting down Acrobat and then try moving (DO NOT DELETE - you may want put them back afterward if this doesn't work) the Collab and Sync folder out of the User's Acrobat folder and then rejoin the Shared Review to see if the Dynamic Stamps reappear.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Dynamic Link not working as part of Production Premium CS5

I ran into a situation whereby I recently reinstalled my Production Premium CS 5 onto a new computer and when trying to run the Dynamic Link out of Premiere PRO CS 5 to create a new After Effects composition, After Effects tried to start up but then crashed with the error that Production Premium was needed.
Yet, I had Production Premium CS5.
(Note: The crash didn't occur when I simply tried to use Dynamic Link without anything selected in my project or timeline - but the moment I had a clip in my timeline selected to work on it, the dynamic link would not work as covered above.)
In checking around the forums I found various answers to this problem such as rebooting the computer, reformatting hard drives and/or whatever. This all may be correct.
However, as I just went through that nightmare, I was not anxious to do that again. So, I called Adobe and the following solution solved the matter in 5 minutes:
1. Close all your other Adobe applications such as After Effects.
2. Open up Premiere Pro CS5 and then deactivate it by going to HELP>DEACTIVATE and then Permanently Deactivate.
3.Close the application and restart Premiere Pro CS5.
4.Then do the same to Activate it.
5. Have your serial number handy and plug it in when prompted.
Solved it right away and worked beautifully.
Not to say there couldn't be more complicated situations, but the above worked and the simpler the better is good for me. And I thought I would post this in case anyone else ran into this problem.

Thanks for posting your solution.

Help - Simple mask not working in Flash CS4

Hi everyone,
Thanks for taking a minute to read my post.
I am creating a very simple mask using motion tweening. I created some text on a layer and made it a masked layer. Then I created a mask layer which consists of a circle that will span across the text. When I play the movie the circle does not show up at all in the frames the mask layer spans (it's purple on a black background) and the circle does not move across the text like I told it to with the motion tweening. I don't know why it's not working. For some reason the circle isn't showing on the stage at all and it's not moving across the text. I don't know if I have it set up wrong on the timeline or what. Here's the steps I followed to create the mask:
1.insert a new layer in which I named it mask and click frame 1 on this layer
2. select the oval tools on the tools panel and set the stroke to none
3. set the fill color to purple
4. draw a circle and click the selection tool and drag a marquee around the circle to select it.
5. click insert on the menu bar, click motion tween then click ok in dialog box about converting it to a symbol to be tweened
6. click the last frame in the mask layer and drag the circle to the end of the line of text
7.click mask on the timeline to select the mask layer, click modify on the menu bar, point to timeline then click layer properties
8. verify the show check box is selected in the name section, click the lock check box to select it, click the mask option button in he type section, then click ok.
9. play the movie in which the circle object covers the text on the masked layer as it moves across the stage
Thanks for your help!
ashmic19

Update 8-2-10: In play mode the text was still visible when it shouldn't be but once I tested the movie the mask worked correctly with the text. So problem solved
-ashmic19
Thanks for all who viewed this. I finally figured out why it wasn't working. I had the mask layer locked. But now the circle is moving across the text but the text is viewable when it shouldn't be until the circle moves across it. How come it's doing this?

Form in Dynamic page not working when checkbox is used.

I have created a form using dynamic page. The form most have display fields and a checkbox field. When I check a box, it assigns 'Y' value and when unclick, it assign 'N' to the database field.
When I submit the form, the procedure which is supposed to save the form data never gets executed. Well, at least it says, page not found HTTP 404 error.
Interestingly if I make this field a text box and manually enter 'Y' or 'N', and then submit the form, the procedure is executed. Data gets saved.
Is the checkbox not supposed to be used for a database field because checkbox value can be assigned only using javascript and the procedure never get that value ?
Can you please tell me how to use a checkbox for a database field using dynamic page ?
thanks,
Mainak

Sharmila,
When I said, the form does not get submitted, I meant that the procedure does not work. The form gets submitted but the procedure does not work. It gives HTTP 404 error. That is what perplexes me. I am unable to understand why the procedure does not work when I click a checkbox.
May be you can make this work. I am hopeless about this.

Dynamic Configuration not working with Integrated Configuration

Hi All,
Dynamic Configuration works fine in PI 7.3 when Classical Configuration is used. However the same does not work using Integrated Configuration.
Scenario :
SOAP -->SOAP Synchronous scenario in PI 7.3 (Dual Stack).
Trying to save a value from Request mapping using dynamic configuration and use the same in response mapping.
UDF Code :
Request Mapping :
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey Variable = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP", "Variable1");
conf.put(Variable, a);
Response Mapping :
DynamicConfigurationKey Variable = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP", "Variable1" );
string1 = conf.get(Variant);
Note : Using Integrated Config(AAE Processing) - Response header does not have DynamicConfiguration header node , but Classical Configuration has that.
Regards,
Parimala
Edited by: ParimalaE on Mar 1, 2012 1:33 PM

For us this is what we had:
This didn't work (getInputParameters is the newer stuff that doesn't work):
DynamicConfiguration dc = (DynamicConfiguration)container.getInputParameters().getValue(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey dck = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP","TServerLocation");
dc.put(dck,"https://xyz.api-salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/26.0/0DFa00000008jis");
return "";
This works for us(we had to remove getInputParameters):
DynamicConfiguration dc = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey dck = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP","TServerLocation");
dc.put(dck,"https://xyz.api-salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/26.0/00D3000000001X0");
return "";

Dynamic query not working

hi
im using a dynamic query to put in an internal table but its not working
Can you see whats wrong in that?
gv_query = ' au~uname AS OTCTUSERNM,'.
CONCATENATE gv_query 'a1object' '.' 'a1field' ' AS 0TCTAUTH' INTO gv_query.
CONCATENATE gv_query 'au~to_dat AS OTCTADTO, OTCTOBJNM, ' INTO gv_query.
SELECT DISTINCT (gv_query)
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE gi_ds1
FROM agr_users AS au INNER JOIN
agr_1251 AS a1
ON auagr_name = a1agr_name.

Hello,
Following are the observations:
1. gv_query = ' au~uname AS OTCTUSERNM,'.
>> In above string i think you want to use uname column as OTCTUSERNM and it is correct
2. CONCATENATE gv_query 'a1object' '.' 'a1field' ' AS 0TCTAUTH' INTO
    gv_query.
>> In statement 2 above I am not able to understand whey 'a1object' '.' 'a1field' this is incorrect.
     Also '.' (dot) in not required in query it will be either '~' or 'AS' as valid chars.
3. CONCATENATE gv_query 'au~to_dat AS OTCTADTO, OTCTOBJNM, ' INTO gv_query.
>> In statement 3 above whey OTCTOBJNM is used there is no such column exit in AGR_USERS.
4. SELECT DISTINCT (gv_query)
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE gi_ds1
    FROM agr_users AS au INNER JOIN
    agr_1251 AS a1
    ON auagr_name = a1agr_name.
>> In above statement a1 is used as alias for AGR_USERS then why it it not there in statement 3 where instead au is used.
Normarlly query is like this
'<alias1><col_name1> as <col_desc1>, <alias2><col_name2> as <col_desc2>......up to n cols
In this case it is possible that alias1 and alias2 are used for different table in case of joins and for same table in case of self joins.
Finally, You can only define colums in dynamic query those are available in the table from which we have to select the data.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Augustin.

Mask not working on loaded jpg

Hi,
I have a blank movie called "shell" on a frame, which is
where I load the jpg. - shell.loadMovie("1.jpg");
Above that the frame that contains the shell movie, I have a
mask layer. Once the jpg is loaded, I have a shape animation on the
mask layer that reveals the jpg.... but for some reason it doesn't
work. If I take away the mask layer it displays properly.
*UPDATE*
The mask stops working when the shape tween starts. Initialy
the masks works when there is no tween on the mask layer.

Thanks - your example worked for me. Not sure why I couldn't get it to work before. I think it was because the mask and the item were the same exact size as well. I created another example and posted below which is what I was going for.

Dynamic Link Not Working

To anyone that can help..
I am having several issues with adobe at the moment and really need some advice. i have tried adobe themselves, they struggled to help too, but that was mainly down to language issues.
I have a Canon XHA1S camera with an external shotgun mic Rodeo NGP-2. All of which at some point worked through premiere pro CS5 and encore. i was living the dream.
Then one day, it all started having issues.
Problem #1 - Dynamic Link stopped working
Once my project is done, i would send it to Encore via dynamic link and produce my DVD in either regular or blu ray. Now it doesn't. A box 'import premiere pro sequence' comes up but encore crashes before it can complete the import. sometimes a message telling me "the software thats used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decodes for the file your working with may help correct the problem" comes up too
Its strange that i've produced about 20 disks with no issues but now a problem. was told by adobe it could relate to the file/pixel size? but again have no idea why this is now a problem now and not before, in fact i would just be happy to know how to change it so it can work? Can anyone help?
Problem #2 - Audio
The only way i am able to make a disk at the moment is to produce it on DVD maker - it's the only way until i get my issues resolved. however my external mic is not coming through, this has something to do with the sound quality to the mic being 44.1 and the DVD maker requiring 48mhz. i can't seem to convert this to work in anything but AVI (would like MPEG-2) but then the picture quality drops to something similar to a tribul rubbing.
If anyone knows of something or can point me in the right direction i would be very greateful
Thanks

Especially for Bluray or DVD that is HD to SD, DL must sometimes be avoided.
But the type of problem you are having may indicate other problems. If regular projects are not working, see these:

Regarding the audio, can't you just export as 48K?
