[Fun] Gridwars, Adobe Style

Ever had one of those days where you feel pursuit by InDesign files that spawns InCopy files, oddly resizing Photoshop images, hoards of Illustrator files, Acrobat only getting in your way, and to top it off, followed by deadly Adobe Updater announcements and the ever-powerful Adobe logo itself?
No?
I have -- on a daily basis, almost. That's why I play games -- to get away from it all. Games like ... Gridwars! Oh -- I almost forgot. To keep in touch with my anger, I replaced the graphics set with icons from Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, InCopy, Acrobat, and Adobe itself. Ha haaaa! Eat that, and that! ... Oh nooo! I'm overwhelmed by Updaters again! Aaaaarrrrggghhh!
(Download the icon set from my site, unpack, and replace the "High" folder in the "GFX" folder for ever-lasting fun. You might want to check the Graphics settings -- it's best at a high resolution setting. My high-score is a paltry 2,8 million points. On the Easy level ...)
(Tested on my Mac but there is no reason it should not work with the Windows version as well.)

AWESOME!

Adobe style explorer (Missing from CS4)

Hi
I have just updated Illustrator from CS2 to CS4. The one thing I have noticed that is slowing me down is that the Adobe style file browser is missing!?
On CS2 I was able to click on Save as and the next window that comes up you could choose either a Operating system style or Adobe style. On the Adobe style I could save shortcuts to folders from which I could quickly save files to.
Any chance that I can get this back!?
Regards
Matthew

Thanks for that!
Thats a bit anoying! I liked to add shortcuts to various folders, can't do that with the normal explorer!
Thanks
Matthew

Flex Skin like adobe style

Do you know any skin that use the same style of adobe? Something like their pages!

You will want to do most of this in actionscript rather than
mxml...
Basically you would look take a list of jpgs, in an array
MyImages, then:
for each (var img:String in MyImages) {
var ctrl:Image = new Image;
ctrl.source = img;
ctrl.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, doZoomOver);
ctrl.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, doZoomOut);
// add the image control to the Application/Canvas/VBox/etc.
this.addChild(ctrl);
Then in your doZoomOver:
// move the child to the end of the child stack so it is
above everything else
this.setChildIndex(event.target, this.getChildren().length -
1);

Save-as and Open Dialogue box options. ~ Windows style vs Adobe style

I have two identical machines, that are running CCv6 software. On one machine I have Libraries as an option in my save as box and in the other it's using the Adobe pre-set options. I have not edited the registry file. I am not running any aftermarket plug-ins. There must be a dialoge box somwehere, but I can't find it. Help it's making me crazy trying to drill down to my save files.

Adobe Style Layer (ASL) file structure

Hello. I'm curious if there a way to get the description of ASL-file. I would like to know it's structure: file-header, data-types...
ASL-files are for layer styling. You can add bevel, shadow, glow, stroke, etc. to the layer and save the settings as a style preset, which then can be stored on a hard-drive as a ASL-file.
Is there any documentation on this topic?

It's a descriptor list, similar to actions files.
The actions format is described in the SDK, but it's a non-trivial format.

Displaying fb Friends in Adobe AIR app

First off, I realize I'm completely in over my head here.
I am a designer... not a programmer. Sure, I've set up some "quizzes" on facebook... but nothing like what I'm trying to do here. So, I'm hoping to get some quick and simple help from someone here.
Anyway... here's my problem...
I've made a fun little Adobe AIR app using Flash CS4. When ran it makes your computer screen look like you're logging into the Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil franchise. It has company data, surveillance cameras and other stuff. It's totally for fun and doesn't "do" anything. Just wanted to make an AIR app late one night and this is what I did.
Now, however, I would like to make it so that you can login to your facebook account and then view a "database of Umbrella Employees"... which... in reality... would simply be a list of your facebook friends with pictures! The descriptions of what they "do" could be randomly generated from a file or something... or it could be grabbed from some posts they've made or something. But the friend pictures and names are really what I'm wanting to show.
I have looked and looked all over for a simple "downloadable" example of this. I've found some things, but everything is like reading an encyclopedia... and, like I said, I'm simply not that smart.
Does anyone have a Flash CS4 .fla file that you could share with me to show me how to do this?
I'm serious when I say I can't figure much out... so please include all library files and anything else I need to know (like upload this to your server here) and stuff.
If you help, and I "release" this (obviously I can't make money on it) I'll put an Easter egg in for you with your profile or picture or whatever you like!
Here's hoping for some help...

How do I copy and paste text style for multiple video tracks?

hello,
I am creating multiple video tracks with text. I want to easily copy and paste the style, i.e., Font, Color, Size - rather than having to scroll down the giant list of fonts to find the one I want, then change the color, then change the size - each and every time. This is arduous.
I tried copy / paste of one text onto a new video track, but when I type in a different word, it alters the original.
I have 9 tracks of video for 9 different texts that will pop in and out of my video. I would like to be able to copy/paste then just change the text. This would save me a huge amount of time.

paulrudophmusic
I know of no way to alphabetized the Adobe Styles that come with the program.
If you had the time and the inclination, you could rename them all to force them to appear alphabetically, but that does not seem all that practical.
But, if your interest is in the Styles that you save and you do not hit the Reset File List, the new Styles will be at the bottom of the list and you can name them so that they appear that alphabetically at the bottom of the whole Styles list. But that does not address the matter of you having to scroll to the bottom of the Styles list.
In some instances, some things that you think that you cannot do in Premiere Elements obvious features, can be done by computer keyboard shortcuts. I check the keyboard shortcuts under the Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization and unfortuately did not find any that would be applicable to this situation.
As for your changes in one text file popping up unwantedly in another text file, that is because you have text files with the same name. Look into creating duplicates (with different file names) in Project Assets at the onset.

Adobe OS

I have fun building Adobe AIR applications, very nice interfaces and well, simple to use and to load. What I dont like is the fact that I have to always install Adobe AIR in a machine that is going to use my app.
So Ive been thinking. There is this battle about OS's, and well, we are tired of Windows viruses arent we? I normally use windows because of one thing, software. The software Im talking about thats never on Linux : Adobe Collection, 3ds Max, UDK. So how about an Adobe OS? It can be built on Unix and comes bundled with Adobe AIR, with Rich adobe Flex interface. Just my thought, but Flash does brilliant stuff.
C++ plus Adobe = power.
Just my thoughts

This really isn't an Acrobat SDK kind of question, but I do hear you. You might try posting your suggestion here:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
However, the idea of an Adobe OS/developers environment is one of the reasons that Apple has banned Flash from the iPad :-( [no flames either way, I own an iPad, spend most of my time creating content with Adobe software].
However, if performance could be maintained, I wouldn't mind all Adobe apps being run on top of an Air-like environment, heck, I could finally get my FrameMaker back on my Mac :-)

If Adobe competed against Microsoft Word... (important, please read and participate!)

Ever wonder what a word processing program by Adobe would look like?
I have. It would be full of Adobe-style timesaving Shortcuts, such as:
Being able to delete text on page 34 while you're looking at page 2, or
Being able to bold, resize and italicize text on page 7 while looking at page 15
Sound ridiculous? That's because it is! Yet, as ridiculous as it might sound for a word processing program to allow users to do this, that's the same nonsense that goes on in Premiere Pro.
For example, here are some of the things users can all too easily do to selected media that isn't even in the visible portion of their Timeline:
Delete clips
Ripple delete clips
Modify Video/Audio effects
Modify Motion settings
and now in PP CC, even add video/audio transitions
Which long time Premiere editor has never deleted an unseen selected clip by mistake, only to discover the mistake long after the fact (when no number of Undos could fix the problem)?
Which new CC editor has never mistakenly added transitions to unseen selected clips?
Are there any situations when users would actually want to change Timeline content that isn't within the Timeline's visible bounds?
Apparently Adobe thinks so. Could it be Adobe programmers feel that actually seeing the clips you're modifying is somehow unnecessary and even passé?
It doesn't take a genius to see just how incredibly stupid this is! IMHO, the ability to erroneously modify unseen clips in so many different ways, makes Premiere Pro unnecessarily prone to user mistakes, while providing 0 benefits in return.
My proposed solution is simple. Let's unite and all send Adobe (www.adobe.com/go/wish) the following official Feature Request, for the benefit of PP users:
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Only allow clips that are within the visible portion of the Timeline to be modified.
How would you like the feature to work?
Never allow selected clips that fall completely outside the visible bounds of the Timeline to be:
-Deleted
-Ripple Deleted
-have video/audio transitions added to them
-modified in the Effect Controls window
-etc.
Note: If a clip selection is partially within the viewable bounds of the Timeline, then all relevant actions above should be allowed.
Why is this feature important to you?
I can't think of a single instance in which any user would ever want to modify selected clips that are completely outside the visible bounds of their Timeline. The ability to change unseen clips provides zero user benefits while making Premiere Pro extremely prone to user errors. Please fix this by only allowing users to modify clips that are within the visible portion of their Timeline.
User attempts to modify unseen clips could bring up a discrete warning, such as a small red bar that would flash once over the track(s) that have the unseen selected clips. For example, if a user hits the Delete key while there's selected clips on V1, V2 and A2 to the left side of the Timeline's visible portion, small red bars would flash once on the left-hand edge of tracks V1, V2 and A2. This would visually inform users that they have unseen selected clips on those tracks, and therefore the current 'Delete' command can't be used since the selected clips are outside the visible range of the Timeline.
For the sake of accommodating the preference of all users, this visual warning could be turned on/off in PP CC's new Timeline wing menu.
The more we speak up to let Adobe know how we want our software to work, the bigger our chance of eventually getting it, so lets all pitch in! If you've ever modified an unseen selected clip by mistake, please do your part and Copy/paste the FR above to send it to Adobe, or write your own version. Thank you!

Steven,
It's clear from your response that you don't even understand the details of my FR.
Did you miss the part where I wrote: "Note: If a clip selection is partially within the viewable bounds of the Timeline, then all relevant actions above should be allowed." This means if any action, such as a Ripple Delete is performed on a clip(s)/clip selection that is partially visible in the Timeline, in would work as it currently does (Rippling all clips in and out of the visible range). If the user tries to Ripple Delete selected clips that are completely out of view of the timeline, then the action would not be allowed, in order to prevent users from deleting clips by mistake and not even immediately seeing the result of that action. I thought it was already clear, but hopefully this clarifies it even further.
I'm talking about Premiere not allowing users to edit selected clips that are completely out of view on the Timeline. Chances are that if a user has selected clips that are completely out of view on the Timeline, he/she has forgotten about those selected clips and does not want to be able to modify those clips by mistake.
Regarding suggesting that I go to FCP just because you didn't like a FR request I posted, which you didn't even care to understand fully before responding... really?
Jim,
How often do you actually want to perform edits on selected clips that are completely outside the visible bounds of your Timeline? When does doing so actually save you time or provide you with a 'very real benefit' as you say? In my case, never. I'm guessing in the case of most people, it's never as well. I'd appreciate it if you could provide an example of when being able to do this is useful because I can't think of any. Thanks
Perhaps another approach would be to allow off screen changes to be made, as is currently the case, but have the red bar warnings I mention. This way, users would know everytime they change media that's off screen.
The ideal solution might be to have this as a preference: An 'Allow changes to off-screen Timeline clips' checkbox. When checked, things would work the error-prone way they currently do. Unchecked, they'd work the way I suggest. The red warning indicators could also be turned on/off as I mention in my FR. What do you guys think?
I sure would find this forum a much friendlier/more civilized place if people tried to help each other with constructive suggestions rather than just dismissing each other's ideas and making ridiculous comments such as 'if you don't like it, go back to FCP'.

A new Encore user's experience.

Being as this is a louge this might be a place to share.
First, I am not a pro, but I have been using Premiere since 4.2 to produce simple teaching videos and over time have gotten to where I have done more fun stuff and even a couple of events, for money even. Until recently I created my DVDs using Sony DVD Architech.
So all week I've been editing video from a race held near here recently (motorsports, 24 Hours of LeMons) where I attended with a team with the idea of getting photos and video and putting together something the team and friends would enjoy. I got some good in-car video, and some not so good, but that's another matter.
For this project I decided to finally try using Encore to create the DVD. The Sony software didn't do Blu-Ray and I wanted to try that, too. So I start up Encore and when it finally loaded I started a project in the usual Adobe style then was presented with a screen I simply could not figure out. I poked around trying to figure out what the basic procedure was and found the "import" function, tried to import and mgep file, and I got my first blue screen ever on this system.
Rebooted, and restarted Encore, I explored more on my own. I can usually figure out these things on my own. I explored the menus and buttons, and figured out that an asset was probably anything I wanted to put on the DVD. Other than that I was pretty much stuck. I imported another mpeg file and that worked, but I finally gave up and decided to try "Help". That took me to the Adobe site, and that to the Lynda tutorials, which were just what I needed. I went through them one-by-one and they answered most of my questions. They were excellent. Quick, clear, and just the right amount of detail for a tutorial. Adobe did good with that one.
With Lynda's help I was off and running. I figured out how to create menu templates by examining the ones that came with Encore and I figured out how to change the order and other settings for each button. Everything was going smoothly now. I had a project that had a menu and three videos. The preview feature was also working great. But, the highlight I used for my buttons is a green dot that has an inner shadow. In preview I only get a green dot. No shadow. Later on the DVD itself, same thing. I later learend by reading in these forums that that is the fault of the DVD player.
I still had room for one more button, and I still had lots of photos I had not used, so I tried the slide show feature. It looked like it would a good job just showing photos, and for this project I thought it would be a nice little extra. I know that some people here consider it to be a comsumer gimick and just seeing it in Encore made me think the same thing, as if Adobe wanted to be able to match the features of (much) lesser DVD authoring programs. No matter. I'd also learn, by experience that this feature still needs a little work. Again, I am not a pro, so if I notice something that needs fixing it must really scream out at you guys and gals.
It was pretty easy to import my photos and add them to the slide show, but I soon learned that 99 photos is the max for a slide show. I suppose that is OK. Next, I learned that the shortest time I could display a slide is about 1.2 seconds. I was hpoing to be able to run through some of my photos quickly to simuate a stop-action sequence for those times when I just held the shutter release button and snapped away at the action, such as a car spinning off into the dirt. It could be that this limit is due to the cross-fade transitions I had set as the slide show's default transition. I'll try it again later without transitions to see what happens.
Adding and removing slides turned out to be a real pain. When addidng slides in mass I'd get an error saying there was something wrong with a slide. I forget what the other errors were, but I got a lot of them. They were probably related to the number of slides I was placing in the timeline, over 99 total. But besides the errors, Encore really slowed down. It took maybe 10-15 minutes for it to get back to normal, or just about how long it took me to give up and go off and fold laundry. So then I tried to delete some slides and that took for ever, especially if the slide was near the beginning of the show. I figure Encode must be reprocessing the whole show somehwow. But after these problems something seemd to be wrong with Encore. It was slow when doing anything. I closed it and started it up again. It was all better again.
In previews the slide show looked good, but I realized that I needed to resize the photos. I did this in Photoshop for a handful then came back to Encore, expecting it to update itself, seeing as assets like these are external to the Encore project itself, but that didn't happen. If I edited a video and came back to Premiere it would re-import the video. Apparently this doesn't happen in the slide show. I deleted the slide show and started again. At least it is easy to set up new slide shows, except as noted above.
The do-over worked. The slide show looked good.
I burned a DVD and the results were excellent, except for, again, the slide show. The show ran OK, but at the end of each transition there was a little flicker, more like a contrast glitch. Annoying, and it has to be fixed or else the slide show feature will be useless, even for me, except for personal use.
Other than that, all was good. I edited video and Encore reimported it and the burn was successful and it looked great, well, on my analog TV. I still don't have digital as I canceld cable and quit watching TV nearly 2 years ago. But it was working, minor changes were easily handled, etc.
I then tried the Flash feature, and it worked well, except that the video frame is not centered (too far to the right). The HTML code was simple enough. The video plays in a table whose width is 99% of the screen the cell justification is centered. I'm sure I could deal with that in my own pages. But, a bigger problem, again involving the slide show. The VCR controls would pop up at the start, or end, of each slide, and then would disappear again on its own. Again, the slide show is a nice feature but I can't use it if the controls are going to be going up and down throughout the show.
I also exported an image and will be trying that out later. Being able to create an image for the DVD is nice. It means I won't have to use Encode for future burns, and I might have trouble keeping up with the 80 GB of files I have in this project.
Mike

Thanks for reporting.
I'm one of those folk, who shies away from SlideShow in En, choosing to do that in PrPro and then Exporting a DV-AVI.
Though this is not a "technical" forum, I'll risk Jeff & Neil's wrath and throw out one comment. If your still images were not resized to your Project's Frame Size, say 720 x 480, PAR = 1.22 (for NTSC 16:9 in this example), you are asking the program to downsize all of your 99 stills. That WILL slow things to a crawl. Also, I feel that resizing in Photoshop, rather than En, or PrPro, will give you better results. This is a time, where bigger is not better. If you redo, or do a similar Project, explore resizing the stills in PS first, and then Importing those. This ARTICLE might give you some tips on automating the resizing, prior to Import.
OK, enough of that technical drivel. Thanks again for sharing!

Recommendation for drawing package

Not sure where to ask this, but I'm in the market for a low cost drawing package to run on OS-X Snow Leopard.
I've had a play with MacDraft and liked it, but feel it's a little too pricey.
Any suggestions for similar alternatives?

Dear Alexander, I 'hunted' for your most recent post to THANK YOU for info you provided on another topic/thread about the Mac mini losing audio. I had just taken apart my Mac mini for the first time to add more RAM and, sure enough, the audio cable got lose and your link to http://www.applefritter.com/Mac_Mini_Take_Apart_Guide allowed me to see solution.
RE: Good drawing package?
Sketchbook Express is free and can be downloaded from the App store, at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sketchbook-express/id404243625?mt=12
Sketchbook also has a 'Coptic Edition' that may still be free, SketchBookCopicEdition.app - check their web site.
The cheapest app I've seen for getting into vector drawing is Graphic Design Studio, only $5 or $10USD.
If you're a student and can get academic discount, I have Corel Painter 12, list price almost $400 but student discount $80 and it may be the top 'painting' program there is, lots of fun, lots of styles and at student prices worth every penny, for sure.
Sometimes it's worth getting the top-of-the-line programs. Adobe also has good student discounts and Photoshop is without doubt an industrial standard for many reasons and they are more and more getting painting and 3-D into their software.
The more consumer version, Photoshop Elements 10, also a pretty good deal if you have nothing and want to get something going.

F-source menu not working with Windows 7 and IE8

This may be completely the wrong place to ask for help, but I could not find place else.
Several years ago I purchased the code from f-source to display an Adobe style flash menu for my website. I installed it and it worked fine.
Recently, I learned that it does not display properly to those using Windows 7 and IE8 (this may have also been happening with Vista). Rather than seeing my menu titles, people see "Button1, Button2, Button3...".
I have sent two messages to f-source support over the past 7 days, but have heard or seen nothing in the way of a response. Can anyone help me to either 1) fix the problem or 2) know whether older f-source code will ever work with the newer browsers.

Do you understand the disadvantages of using Flash for navigation elements? It may be time to re-think this approach....

[JS] CS6+ executeMenuCommand

Hello together,
since CS6+ there is possible to
executeMenuCommand (menuCommandString: string)
Executes a menu command using the menu shortcut string.
Question 1:
Who knows a way to read all the available commands?
Question 2:
At the time I need 'Clear Guides'
app.executeMenuCommand ('Clear Guides')
app.executeMenuCommand ('Clear guides')
app.executeMenuCommand ('clear Guides')
app.executeMenuCommand ('ClearGuides')
app.executeMenuCommand ('clear guides')
and other variants doesn't work.
Who know the right syntax? (Or is this menu command not available????)
Any help is appreciated. (Additional: I know the way to use app.doScript (myAction) - but this is not part of my questions)

Hi guys,
I am posting almost complete list of menu commands.
Already removed plugin-like commands which does not work at all. Some of the entries are still to be confirmed.
There are some entries like for eg. AdobeLayerPalette:
- AdobeLayerPalette1 - show on/off layers window
- AdobeLayerPalette2 - create new layer with no dialog popup
- AdobeLayerPalette3 - create new layer with dialog popup
or
- AdobeNavigator1 - does not work
- AdobeNavigator2 - does not work as well
- AdobeNavigator - show on/off navigator window
You will have to doublecheck for some of these commands. It does not hurt

Website in Flex

Hi,
Was just wondering, I am making a website in flex and im not
sure how to lay it out.
How should I make each of the pages? Should I make them as
states and when a user clicks a button to navigate, it changes
state...
or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!

Here is a sample app I created to show using ViewStack for an
entire website:

Help me in developing an application

hi frnds,
I have to develop an application similar to flexstore.But i
am confused with "states" and how to integrate other mxml to the
main mxml.Will you help me in this.Pls give a tutorial.
regards

Usually you use view states for cases where a rather smaller
portion of your application needs to change appearance for some
specific purpose, and then often use ViewStack for app navigation
between components:

entire website:
