Having a strange problem with Drop Shadows in Ai CS5

Hi there Adobe experts!
I have tried eveything... this is my first post here, but it's my only hope. I have a project where I apply drop shadows to linked images to give a sense of depth. A few days ago, the drop shadows just stopped feathering. It doesn't matter what the blur is set to, its just one colour. Transparency still applies. Here's the kicker...I can open files with applied drop shadows to them and they look fine. But if I try to edit that existing shadow, even by 0.0001 of a pt, it will lose its feathering.
I've deleted the AiPrefs file, and played with just about every setting in document raster effects settings. I have no clue what would cause this.
Oh, and whatever the issue is, it starts in my computer, and then attaches to the files... I sent the ai file to a friend, and when he tried to add drop shadows, they screwed up on his machine too. But it isn't the file. I've attached a brand new (and CMYK, just to see if that would make a difference...) file of a sphere showing the problem. Even with the blur super high, the shadow remains flat and monochromatic.
Any geniuses seen this before or have a remote clue how to solve this one?
Thanks in advance,
Luke

All my ram is tripple channel DDR3, same clock speeds, but some is 2GB and some is 4GB.
I just pulled the 2GB sticks (which I had in originally) and left in the 4GB sticks (the ones I recently purchased) and the problem goes away. It's quite odd, I've never had a problem like this before with any other application. I know it's not the best thing in the world to have different types of RAM installed, but my motherboard supports it and I've never had a problem doing it before.
I would be interested to see if this problem is reproducable in the OP's senario, or if this problem can be reproduced by others.
Conclusion: the 2GB sticks work on their own, and the 4GB sticks work on their own. I definitly would not call this a hardware problem, it's an adobe problem and they need to fix their software.

Pages, printing: still problem with drop shadows . Frustrated. :

Hi -
I've spent most of the afternoon trying to get my Pages document to print properly.
I am experiencing the drop-shadow issue :heavy black clump instead of artfully placed& delicate. Printouts do not resemble what is onscreen or in preview etc.
Having read through the forums; the links; the (cruddy) Pages Help and manual; installed new HP offficejet all-in-one software...
I still get the same result.
Most of the threads don't quite fit my situation.
For instance: Several comments have to do with older versions of things. Because I do have Pages 2, I am on Tiger OS X10.4.7 , upgrading is not my problem.
One of the threads had fairly explicit directions to make a new filter in Coloursync which led all the way to a "change resolution" menu but didn't offer advice on what resolution
modification to make. rrrrrrrr..
I am pretty lost at this point and really just want to print out a document that looks like what I have designed.
What? How? Help! Please?

tried to print directly from Pages
If printing directly from Pages does not work then it must be an aspect of your printer. Some printers have a black and white setting that might not read shadows (which are more like greyscale) With the doc opened press ⌘ +p and browse through the options of the printer's pulldown menu and see if there are any settings that might be incorrect. (Check, in particular, your 'color sync' and 'print settings' options in the pull down menu.)

Odd problem with drop shadows

I shot some footage of a guy in front of a green screen. I got an awesome key and I put him in front of a white background. In order to add a more animated look I want to put a drop shadow behind him. The problem I am experiencing is when I add a cross dissolve in between two cuts. When I add the transition the white background flashes grey and then dips back to white. Any ideas?

I've seen this happen before. It's possible it's a "left over" render that's stuck in FCP's brain. Try highlighting the clips, Control + B on them, then Control + B again. sometimes that will delete the render file associated with that portion.
Or you can try relaunching FCP.

I am having a strange problem with the awesome bar

The awesome bar/location bar is no longer as awesome as it used to be. When I start typing in an address it seems like it no longer checks through my history and gives a list of possible matches but just gives the stem of an address. For example, if I type in 'goo' it will complete this to 'google.com' if I then append this with an '/a' it will complete this to 'google.com/analytics' but that's as good as it gets, as I say, no list from the history or bookmarks.
I've checked the options and also about:config and all the settings are as they should be, as far as I can tell (and I certainly hadn't changed any of them when it started misbehaving). I've also disabled all extensions and plug-ins.
It's driving my slightly bonkers because I quite often use sites with long addresses and can't remember each of the components of each address. I'd switch to using Chrome but I also use Firebug a fair bit so don't really want to do this.

Hi cowtan, Sorry you are having problems with the awesome bar.
I imagine the new behaviour may be reversed by changing some pref but I have not looked that up.
Regardless of the new behaviour you seem to have some fault as my awesomebar still gives bookmarked items.
As a troubleshooting step try adding an asterisk in the awesomebar (as first character or anywhere) that should then filter the results in the dropdown list to bookmarked only items, does that work ?
* see [[Search your bookmarks, history and tabs with the Awesome Bar#w_changing-results-on-the-fly]]_changing-results-on-the-fly
You possibly have some extension interfering with the awesome bar, try Firefox in safe mode (but do NOT* at this stage try the Reset Firefox option)
<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''edit''' - personal opinion, if a user; such as you; is knowledgeable enough to use ''about.config'' the easy solution of ''FirefoxReset ''is probably not the best route, as it can have unwanted side effects that are avoidable.
* [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
Do your bookmarked items appear in safe mode ?
Try a new Profile. The best method for troubleshooting this will be to set up a new Firefox profile, you can then: experiment, troubleshoot, alter settings or extensions installed in that profile without changing and potentially damaging your current profile.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
I suggest to prevent unexpected problems you
* use a sensible name such as test 2012 for the profile name
* ensure an empty folder is used & do not then rename or delete the new profile (instead add or delete shortcuts to it)
* also see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox

I'm having a strange problem with itunes Match (as do many apparently)

In several instances, I have individual songs within an album that has been matched that are showing as ineligible. How to fix? I have two Apple IDs authorized on my computer (my wife's and mine) but that shouldn't explain individual songs that have been purchased as a part of an album not being eligible. All my software is updated. Fairly irritated by this and have been doing the usual solutions: updating iTunes Match, individually trying to add to iCloud, restarting iTunes…any help would be appreciated.

There are two ways to "fix" it:
1. Ignore it. Really - it's not hurting anything. You can just turn off the column that shows whether it's matched or uploaded, and you won't see it anymore.
2. If these are songs that you purchased from iTunes, you can delete your current track (make sure you check the option to delete from the cloud too, and obviously make sure you have a backup copy just in case something goes wrong) then go to the iTunes store, into the "purchased" section, and redownload the purchase. The newly downloaded version will then match. (But do not try to jump between AppleIDs - you'll end up locked out for 90 days).
For songs that you did not buy from Apple, the only option is to ignore it. Matching is imprecise, Apple can only compare against what's currently in their store and that may have been re-digitized or reprocessed in some subtle way that means it's no longer the exact same edition of the song that you have - even though to your ears and eyes they are identical.

Strange problem - cant drop an mov file onto timeline

Hello, I'm having a strange problem with a couple of mov files. these were all shot with the same camera, Canon 5d mkII, I have 2 mov files, one shot right after the other within 10 minutes of eachother, one of the files I can drop onto the timeline and the other it wont let me, also I've found a couple other mov files from another shoot that I can not drop onto the timeline, wehereas the majority of files from various shoots I can.
Any ideas or possible solutions to this problem?
Again, same camera, same computer, same everything, however a few that wont import while the majority will.

Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.
If anyone could lend some light on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Strange problem with Subviews on 1.0 Beta

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with SubViews on 1.0 Beta. I'm not sure If I'm being stupid and have done something wrong, or if there's a problem here.
My application is directly based on one of the examples, so the structure etc is almost identical. I've simplified the files below to avoid confusing the issue.
The default landing page (greeting.jsp) looks like this:
<%@ taglib declarations for HTML and CORE taglibs %>
<HTML>
<HEAD><title>Insulation Layer Demo</title></HEAD>
<body bgcolor="white">
<f:view>
<jsp:include page="sysstatus.jsp" />

</f:view>
</body>
</HTML>
sysstatus.jsp looks like this:
<%@ taglib declarations for HTML and CORE taglibs %>
<f:subview id="SystemStatusView">
<h:form id="systemStatusForm">
<h:selectboolean_checkbox id="System1Available" value="#{SystemStatus.system1Available}"/>System 1 
<h:selectboolean_checkbox id="System2Available" value="#{SystemStatus.system2Available}"/>System 2
<h:command_button id="submit" action="success" value="submit" />
</h:form>
</f:subview>When I view this page, the checkboxes all seem to work okay (in that their state is preserved across calls etc), but the formatting is very screwy. The resulting page looks something like:
<chkbox1> <chkbox2> <Submit>
System 1
System 2
<Other HTML content from greeting.jsp>When I look at the HTML source code being generated, it is genuinly being generated as above, that is, all the form tags first, and then the rest of the content. Interestinly, I tried adding a ${SystemStatus.system2Available} into the body text, and it was rendered as literal text (i.e. not evaluated as EL), which is very curious -- makes me wonder if the included file is included as text, rather than JSP, although the custom taglibs and <f:form> tags etc are not in the generated HTML.
If I lift all the content between the <h:form> tags (inclusive) out of sysstatus.jsp and put it in greeting.jsp in place of the <jsp:include> tag, all is well.
Any ideas? All help gratefully recieved!
Thanks,
Paul

Personally, I think it is a bug in the rendering model of JSF itself because if you include any non-JSF tags, they don't get rendered according to my understanding of the what the spec says (in the location the tags are written).
The only workaround that I could come up with is to use straight JSF tags in all of your layers. Things are then rendered the way that they "should" be rendered.
You could try wrapping all of your HTML tags in <f:verbatim> tags and see if that helps.
Good luck!

Strange problem with ACLs

Hi,
I have just migrated an oracle database from 11.1.0.7 on Win Server 2003 to 11.2 on Linux 64 bit. I am having a strange problem with ACLs - I can create the ACL but when I perform either of the following two commands:
SELECT * FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACLS
or
SELECT * FROM NET$_ACL
I get no rows returned. The ACL exists somehow because if I try and create it again I get the error that it exists. Has anyone got any advice here? Something is out of sync and I need to know how to fix it up.
Thanks

Some strange problem with Flash/As3

Hi,
I am having some strange problem with my flash cs3.
Whatever script I write in as3 doesn't work, even a stop() function doesn't work . But when I change my publish setting to as2 it works fine.
Not sure about the root cause, may be some setting or preference or my cs3 is corrupted.
Can anybody please advise.
Thanks,
Kishor

try this
create a new fla as3,
select frame 1
open the actions panel
paste in the following code
var squares:Array = new Array;
setup();
function setup():void {
 for (var i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
 var square:Sprite = new Sprite();
 //square.name = "square" + i;
 square.graphics.beginFill(Math.random() * 0xffffff);
 squares.push(square);
 squares[i].graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
 squares[i].x = i*3;
 squares[i].y = i*3;
 squares[i].filters = [];
 square.graphics.endFill();
 stage.addChild(squares[i]);
for (var j = 0; j < squares.length; j++) {
 squares[j].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragMovie);
 squares[j].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropMovie);
 squares[j].buttonMode = true;
function dragMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
 event.target.startDrag();
function dropMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
 event.target.stopDrag();

Strange Problem with a Vector wraped inside a Hashtable

Hi all ,
I'm having a strange problem with a Vector wraped within a Hashtable inherited Class.
My goal is to keep the order of the elements of the Hashtable so what I did was to extend Hashtable and wrap a Vector Inside of it.
Here is what it looks like :
package somepackage.util;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.Vector;
public class OrderedHashTable extends Hashtable {
 private Vector index;
 /** Creates a new instance of OrderedHashTable */
 public OrderedHashTable() {
 this.index = new Vector();
//adds a key pair value to the HashTable and adds the key at the end of the index Vector
 public synchronized Object put(Object key,Object value){
 index.addElement(key);
 Object obj = super.put(key,value);
 System.out.println("inside OrderedHashTable Put method index size = " + index.size());
 return obj;
public synchronized Object remove(Object key){
 int indx = index.indexOf(key);
 index.removeElementAt(indx);
 Object obj = super.remove(key);
 return obj;
public synchronized Enumeration getOrderedEnumeration(){
 return index.elements();
public synchronized Object getByIndex(int indexValue){
 Object obj1 = index.elementAt(indexValue);
 Object obj2 = super.get(obj1);
 return obj2;
 public synchronized int indexOf(Object key){
 return index.indexOf(key);
 public synchronized int getIndexSize() {
 return index.size();
 }Everything seemed to work fine util I tried to add objects using a "for" loop such as this one :
private synchronized void testOrderedHashTable(){
 OrderedHashTable test = new OrderedHashTable();
 for (int i = 1 ; i<15; i++){
 System.out.println("adding Object No " + i);
 String s = new String("string number = "+i);
 test.put(new Integer(i),s);
 System.out.println("-----------------------------------");
 //try to list the objects
 Enumeration e = test.getOrderedEnumeration();
 while (e.hasMoreElements()){
 Integer intObj = (Integer) e.nextElement();
 System.out.println("nextObject Number = "+ intObj);
 }Here is the console output :

You can notice that the output seems correct until the insertion of object 9.
At this point the vector size should be 9 and the output says it is 10 elements long ...
In the final check you can notice the 9 was inserted twice ...
I think the problem has something to do with the automatic resizing of the vector but I'm not really sure. Mybe the resizing is done in a separate thread and the new insertion occurs before the vector is resized ... this is my best guess ...
I also tested this in a pure J2SE evironment and I don't have the same strange behavior
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong or how I could avoid this problem ?
Thanks a lot !
Cheers Alex

Am i doing anything wrong?Uhm, yes. Read the API doc for addElement() and for addAll()

Strange problem with my build JAR

Hiii everybody... I'm having a strange problem with my build (JAR file)... when I work with the Eclipse and I click in the table that returns the clients stored in my PostGre database it works fine, but when I build my application and it generates my JAR file and I open it and click in the same table to return the objects that I have.. it does not appears anymore.. just show when I work with eclipse... and the database is the same for both.
I already checked the database path in my properties file... and the application recognize the database because I can login and there isn't any runtime exception...
In that application I work with Hibernate and Spring... for me it is very strange because the application works fine when I run by eclipse... but does not return the database data when I click on my Jar file to open the application..
Someone can help me with that?
I dont know if the problem is in the Spring, Hibernate, Libraries...
thanks in advance...

So what's the error then? Are there any error messages? Have you checked the console? Or are you just clicking on the jar and you wouldn't even see the errors if there are any?
What do the logs say?
You're not giving a lot to work on here.

Strange problem with HD

I'm having a strange problem with my titanium 15" Powerbook G4 (I believe it's 867Mhz). When I start it up, I get a flashing question mark/folder, and I can't boot into safe mode or make it start up past that question mark.
Here's the really weird part-- the hard drive is completely fine. I booted it in target mode, was able to access all files on it, transfer files to and from it, and when I ran disk utility, everything was fine.
I heard disk utility doesn't catch everything, so I ran fsck 3 or 4 times with both the -f and -r options (to rebuild the file catalog), and it came up with 0 errors.
I think it's just not recognizing the hard drive as the boot volume, but when I press option on startup to select it, it doesn't pop up in the list-- so there's no way to select it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Tim

I reinstalled Leopard on it using the target disk method (because the DVD drive is broken on the computer). It installed fine, and I can see all system files on it, but I can't boot off of it-- same problem. Thanks for the suggestion... any others?

Strange problem with JComboBox

I am having a strange problem with JComboBox, I created a method as a JComboBox factory which returns a JComboBox filled with items. the method works fine and I can see the items in the JComboBox. The problem is when I try using the method myCombo.SelectedItem(String item); the object myCombo does not set the selected item, it just leaves the item blank (or unselected).
//This method build a JComboBox
public javax.swing.JComboBox makeJComboBox(String[] items) {
javax.swing.JComboBox myComboBox = new javax.swing.JComboBox();
for (int index=0;index<items.length;index++){
myComboBox.addItem(makeObj(items[index]));
return myComboBox;
public Object makeObj(final String item) {
return new Object() {
public String toString() {
return item;
}

Couple of better ways to populate a combo with items-
public javax.swing.JComboBox makeJComboBox(String[]items) {
javax.swing.ComboBoxModel cbModel = new DefaultComboBoxModel(items);
javax.swing.JComboBox myComboBox = new javax.swing.JComboBox(cbModel);
return myComboBox;
}OR
public javax.swing.JComboBox makeJComboBox(String[]items) {
return new javax.swing.JComboBox(items);
