Finding a symbol within a project

I am in the process of updating all of my symbols in a project I am working on, and found that some of the objects are set to temporary paths, I guess I had just imported from the clipboard, as opposed to importing an actual saved file.
Anyway, there is one particular graphic object that, according to my library, is in use in 1 place in my project, but I can't for the life of me find where that is. Is there any way to locate instances of objects in the library? Or am I going to have to go through my entire project, piece by piece?

WOAH! I had no idea that tool existed, and I've been using Flash for YEARS. Thanks a lot!!!

I can no longer drag photos in Aperture (within a project, between projects

I find that suddenly I cannot drag photos in Aperture. In other words, I cannot MOVE a photo at all, whether within a project or between projects and albums, &c. Not only this, but I cannot copy & paste either. I can still export photos, though.
I noticed this first a couple of hours ago when attempting to attach a photo into an email using the Mail application. It wouldn't budge. I thought it might have been a problem with the Mail program but no, it appears to be in Aperture because I then tried to drag the photo directly from Aperture into the email (which I've been doing for years).
I've done a rebuild and all that, yet the problem remains.
Any suggestions as to what I might do other than export the whole library to Lightroom and start learning all over again?

Can you confirm:
- that this is true for many Images? Try different Images in several Projects. If possible, try with an Image you had been able to drag-and-drop into Mail in the past.
- that you can't drag from a Project to an Album.
- that the Image you can't drag-and-drop has a Preview? ("Photos➞Update Preview")
What do you mean us to understand with the "and all that" part of "I've done a rebuild and all that, yet the problem remains"?

How to view long file names and sort files within folders/projects?

Hello, like so many people here, I am a new mac user, but certainly not computer illiterate. I have been a professional photographer for 10 years and recently change to mac and have been slowly trying to adapt my work flow accordingly.
However I have become increasingly frustrated with Aperture 3 and after reading posts here it looks like I am certainly not the only person. While in my case I am sure it is because of my inexperience with mac systems so any guidance or assistance is much appreciated.
Hopefully my questions are simple. I have been importing my images and re-naming images as I do so. A very simple combination of date, custom name, and counter. However, when I look at the images once the import has completed, they are not in any logical order within the 'project'. I have tried to sort them by file name, orientation, file size, etc, both ascending and descending, but they will not list in the correct order. eg the file '2010-03-09 Lyon France 001', continually falls between '2010-03-09 Lyon France 022' and '....021'.
This has also lead me to a further question. While my file names can generally be read when the image is a landscape format, on the portrait images the file name it too long for me to read the whole name, and I can not find anyway to read the file name, eg browser, split screen, viewer, or full screen.
Im sorry for all the details, and I am sure it is just my lack of experience, so appreciate your help.
PS. On a separate note, I notice on another thread from the frustrated user 'ultratechy' that he got a reply from Tony who stated 'Also after installing any application you should always run disk utility and repair permissions....' Now as I am completely new to mac, I had no idea about this. Any other tips that I should always be aware of? Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply Calx. If it makes you feel better, I am actually a New South Welshman - just living in the sunshine state!
You are correct, I am trying to get my head around a new way of working and thinking, but I suppose it will all become clearer as time goes by. I have re-visited the manual many times, and been doing loads of research online, but just trying to put it all into practice now, so any tips or advice is always appreciated.
At the moment, I am just working with a small part of my library until I do get my head around things before moving onto the bulk of my images. I have my images stored and backed up on multiple external hard drives. I am trying to import my images into aperture from an external drive as I have been slack over the years with keywording, metadata, organising, etc etc, so I figure from what I have read that aperture may assist me with making these time consuming tasks a bit quicker and easier.
I have put a bit of thought into my filing structure, but I am sure that with further use and understanding, this may change in the future, but I hope not. To give you an example of how I am thinking and working - I have used folders for my regular clients, eg, Ray White, and then made another level of folders within 'Ray White' for the date, and then in each 'date folder' I place my projects and name them with the address of the property I have photographed. I select and edit images from each project and place them in albums under each project. Not sure if this is the most perfect structure, but any advice is welcome.
Keywords is always an issue with me. Over the years I have compiled a number of list for each client and each 'type' of photography. For example, real estate images have there own list, I just simply manually add keywords for specific jobs, eg the address and any specific location or features.
Again, advice and guidance always welcome and I would appreciate how you go about these topics? And maybe you can help explain something that I have pre-emted may be a problem, and it may happen when I move onto my larger library, and I am not sure how to explain this as it may show my lack of management previously. When I worked on my PC, I used PS4, Adobe Bridge and Camera RAW pretty much exclusively. For my landscape images for example, I might have 2 or 3 variations of the one images, eg, black and white, sepia, and color for instance. But the file name remained the same, I just stored them in different folders indicating what version of the image was stored there. Now I am thinking that when I import images in Aperture, I will come across difficulties because Aperture will think the I am importing duplicate images because I will in fact have 3 images with the same file name, even though the adjustments I have made to them are different. Is this the case? Will I have to make adjustments again? Will I have to change the name of the files prior to importing? If so, any advice or tips?
Well, I should stop there. Im sorry to bombard you with some much text, but as mentioned, I am new, and finding my feet, so thanks for your time.

Ultrabeat loses track of samples when saved within a Project???

Why is it that when I save a project with all my custom samples loaded into the Ultrabeat, I have to manually re-find them once it comes time for me to open the saved project?
Example:
- I'm working on a project, many instances of the Ultrabeat, many wav samples loaded into a blank 'sample player' patch.
- I save the project, making sure that all samples are to be saved in their respective folders along with the project.
- I go and open the project folders, double checking that the samples are indeed saved. Yep - they are.
- I Send the project file and folder out to my laptop to work on it on the go.
- I Recheck the files.
- I load up the project file, all normal samples load, yet the Ultrabeat comes up with a search window and tells me to find EACH. INDIVIDUAL. HIT. Which are located DIRECTLY in the folder that Logic itself saved them in. No tampering. No modifications.
- Then I spend the next hour manually finding the samples out of the SAME folder...
You'd think that if I saved a project, along with all files associated with it, and Logic put them in a specific destination folder, that it MIGHT know where to go and find them once it comes time to reopen the project.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Any ideas?
If not, WAKE UP APPLE.

That's exactly what I do already, so there is no reason why it should be having a hard time finding the files.
And, as I mentioned earlier, I double check to make sure that the files were actually copied before I transfer the project and included project folders. Also, when it comes time for Ultrabeat to lose track of the samples, each and every one of them are in the exact same Ultrabeat Samples folder that was created by Logic itself.
Again, There is no reason why Logic shouldn't just be able to find the files that it itself put into a specific folder within the project file.

Launching SWF file within the project - Video Avatar and Calculator

Hi There, I am somewhat new to Captivate so please bear with me. I am using Captivate 6.0 and have basic coding knowledge. I have a question about how to launch SWF files within my project. There are 2 things I am trying to accomplish.
1. I have a video avatar that I want to use within my project. When a user clicks an icon or button on certain screens I want the appropriate video to launch within the same window. My video is an swf file but it can be another file type if that is better. Is this something that I can accomplish with Captivate 6.0?
2. I have built a basic flash calculator - also an swf file - that I want the user to be able to launch on certain screens. When the user clicks a calculator button, the calculator would launch for the user to use, then the user would be able to close the calculator and return to the screen they were on.
Could someone direct me to some resources on how to accomplish this? If there are any widgets that would make this easier that would be great - but if I need to write some code I can try and do this if someone can direct down the right road. I have spent hours looking for information on this topic but can't find any (at least any that I understand)
Please, and thank you!!!

Rory,
Your Video is 720 x 480 @ 1.212 PAR, according to your screen-cap. In Photoshop (PS), go to Image New (Ctrl+N) and choose the NTSC 720 x 480 Widescreen 16:9 PAR 1.2. Once done, choose Image>PAR and Custiom, change 1.2 to 1.212 (this was a change in PrPro, and might not have yet made it into PS yet). Now, Open your full rez image. Ctrl+A (Select All), Ctrl+C (Copy), and then bring focus to your New Image. Hold Shift and Ctrl+V (Paste). This will put your image on a New Layer, Layer 1, in an Image with the correct dimensions and PAR. You can the Ctrl+T (Free Transform) and adjust the size of your Layer 1 image to suit. Holding down Shift while dragging the Handles of the Bounding Box will constrain the Aspect Ratio. Note, you might be cropping some of that image to fit the Aspect Ratio of your New Image. Anything outside of the Image boundries will effectly be cropped off. Note: you are NOT using the Crop Tool here, but letting the New Image Aspect Ratio effectively do the cropping (note no capitalization) for you. When satisfied with the result, you Delete the Background Layer (not necessary, but I do this to clean things up a bit), and Save_As .PSD to the proper folder.
With Scale to Fit turned OFF, Import_As Footage, this image and drag to the Timeline, making sure that Scale to Fit is OFF. It should be perfect then. Hope that this works for you and gets rid of the problem.
Good luck,
Hunt

Contain a drag and drop symbol within a specified area.

I am very green with Adobe Flash but I have a question I was hoping you could walk me through like a child. I have CS3 using AS2 and need to know how you can confine the area of movement of a drag and drop symbol within a specific area. I have an rectangular field in which I need items to be able to drag and drop but not outside the field.
Thanks,
Soups

If you look at the startDrag method you will find that it provides the options for specifying the limits of movement...
startDrag([lockCenter: Boolean], [left: Number], [top: Number], [right: Number], [bottom: Number])
See the help documents: startDrag in ActionScript 2.0

How to find next number range for project definition in tcode CJ20N

Hai Experts,
Please help me 'How to find next number range for project definition in tcode "CJ20N". I was trying in function module NUMBER_GET_NEXT. Is it right function module? If its right what input i need to give for this tcode and for the field project definition?
Note: I searched in forum before posting, but couldn't find the solution.
Thanks

Hi,
For project defination internal number is assigned by system.
When you saves's project then system allocate one number to project defination, you can view it,
SE11 >>> table PROJ >> Click on contents >>> execute,
here you will get your project defination & number is assigned to project defination.

I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums. Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image. You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example). You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
The easy way 'round:
- Make a new Book Album
- Select Images you may want to put in your Book. Flag them.
- Select some more. Flag them.
- Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
- Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key. This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication. The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself. The Book Album also holds the Book.
A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
The User Manual is helpful. Here is
the chapter on making Books.
From that chapter, here is
the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

How can I change the opacity of a symbol without changing the individual opacities of symbols within it?

I'm trying to do a crossfade between two movie clips, but they each have symbols within them. The Flash I'm using is CS4.
In other words, how can I stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance!
-DC

It has nothing to do with symbols inside the movieclip. If you fade the opacity a movieclip you see thru it. If you want to fade from one to the other without seeing both at the same time then you need to fade them sequentially (one after the other) so that the background color is shown during the fade.
If you were to have a rectangle of the background color and fade tha in and out over the movieclips , switching the movieclips one atop the other half way thru that cycle that would be one way.

How to find the path of the project directory in Flex AS3.0?

I am working on a project in which I reference a lot of external files. I need a way to refer to them relative to the location of the project folder.

I don't want to know the location of the installed app. When I am building the project there are various content files in the project folder that get compiled too. I want to know the location of the content folder. Now, since this content folder is in the main project folder in Flex Builder, if I can find the location of the project folder, I can easily locate what I need - the content. But, I don't know hot to find the location of the main project folder on the hard disk.

Find/Change problems within a nested style?

I have a problem with Find/Change (in both CS4 and CS5) not recognizing text within its “find” parameters when text that fits those parameters is part of a nested style. I want to find any instance of italic in the text, regardless of what paragraph or character style it is, but F/C only intermittently finds italics, both within and without that text existing in a nested style. Has anyone come across this issue?
There is NOTHING different about the text that is recognized by F/C–or not recognized–that shows up in any of the panels or palettes. There are no font conflicts. I’ve replaced prefs and saved data files. If I go into the character palette and change the italic portion of the nested style to “italic” character style (it shows up in character palette as [none], even though it has a nested style), then F/C finds it for sure; but if I don’t do that, then F/C will sometimes find it, and sometimes not, and sometimes in one instance and not in another! There is no hidden formatting that shows up in story editor. I remade another nested para style with the same formatting but with varying results! Help… I’ve tried everything.

Need help finding a symbol library...

hi,
i created a postcard in illustrator (i believe it was a trial version, but i don't remember which version) and used some nice swirly images that i believe were from one of the symbol libraries.
i've tried finding the symbols again (not a type style). i can't find it anywhere in CS3. a friend of mine tried finding it on her CS4 but can't find it.
here's an example, maybe someone can help me remember where it is, or point me in the right direction if it can be downloaded.

Lizard,
There is some free stuff such as swirlies that may be downloaded from different sites, such as
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?s=5&from=1&o=desc&cat=-1&l=-1&event=produc tHome&exc=17
http://www.free-vectors.com/free_vector_graphics_pack/99_illustrator_free_brushes.html
http://createsk8.com/about/
You may use something like that as an alternative. That is, unless you actually did downloaded that something then.

Settlement within the Project

Hi All,
There is an error during settlement -
> CJ88 from a long time. My settlement structure is like Network to WBS, Lower WBS to Superior WBS, Level1 WBS to AuC and finally to FXA.
My availability control is active after CJ30.
Now when settling within the project system throws error.... Budget exceeded for items and exceeded by the assigned value. Fine I found out OSS Note--->159850 which details the reason why it is behaving so.
Now after reading this note I am trying out both the possibilities mentioned there...
1.Deactivate availability control which is not recommended.
2.In CJ30 only do budgeting for top WBS..
3.Exempt Settlement Cost element from Availability Control(but we are using Cost Element groups -
> All Primary and Secondary Cost Elements) Tr--OPTK.which is also a problem
I need a work around if anybody can help...the simplest way to remove such error during settlement.

this has nothing to do with the cost element group
when you settle
you can either use the original cost element OR you can use settlement cost element (type 21 or type 22) - these are usually one or 2 and not the same as your chart of accounts
these settlement cost elements should be entered in OPTK
if you use original cost elements then you have an issue as you cannot use OPTK else the original cost itself would become exempt from budget check
