HELP! Weird action going in my CS3

Guys/Gals
Don't know what happened, but my Illustrator is acting weird today. I rebooted my system, and still doesn't change anything. It may be an option I clicked by mistake yesterday while looking for something. HELP ME deselect this action, or solve my problem.
See attached, when I bring my mouse over some texts (the upper left one), it becomes light. When I click on it to edit the text, it remains that way, so very hard to read.
Help me!!!
Jack

Jack,
It looks like View>Smart Guides (Ctrl/Cmd+U).

  • Help with action script please

    hay guys, im having trouble with changing my action script to
    allow multiple layers of the same thing in order to show a greater
    sense of depth than the normal application. im using a flash
    toutorial on making a sort of matrix like falling text (
    link)
    and im not completely understanding what to change in order to
    accomplish my goal. i tryed to send them a message using their
    contact page, but its broken, forcing me to find a forum. im sure
    it has something to do with the third group of code where it
    identifies what its using. but whenever i change anything there to
    either match the identifiers or movie clip names the action script
    crashes when i test the movie. any help is appreciated.
    im using flash cs3 and made sure to create it all in action
    script 2.0
    please excuse my spelling, im sure i made a mistake
    somewhere.

    Why in the world would you do that when you can just put a
    keyframe on the last frame and ..
    loadMovie("myMovie.swf");

    When I try to download my updates it keeps saying cannot connect to iTunes store please help I'm going mad!

    a lot of people have posted about this and i have seen one weird thing fix this. people said they where going into date and time under settings and changing  the date to some time in the future and then going to the itunes store and it would give them an error that there date and time was wrong. then all you need to do is go back and set the date and time right and go back to the itunes store and try again.
    Im not sure why this did the trick but a bunch of people said that this helped them out..... Weird i know
    You might want to see if it fixes your problem.

  • Some weird stuff going on after I deleted var/folders

    I saw my var/folders was taking up around 7GB and my poor 55 GB MacBook Air was suffering because of it, so I decided to delete. Some weird stuff going on now. Icons for apps are acting up. I restarted my computer after that. Before I deleted I put it on my 500GB external hard drive. Any tips? Should I have done this? Any negative repurcussions because I did that?
    Any help is appretiated, and thank you!

    I fixed it on my own if you wish to know a detailed story of how I did it, comment. Also, know that I don't come here too often but I'll recieve an E-mail so I guess I'll answer anything

    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

    Is the TV at minimum a 1080p with an HDMI port?
    What is your Machine ID?  DO NOT give us your serial number.  We just need the x and y values of the Machine ID in your system profiler as given in this format:
    MacBook Pro x,y
    This will tell us what display cables can connect to your TV.

  • Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 Version 185673

    Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 (v185673).
    I've just completed a 1.5hr edit in FCP X (v10.0.1) and chose to send it to compressor so I can encode my MPEG-2 files.
    It takes approximately 5min for compressor to open and show the job to start with!
    I then drag the MPEG-2 preset and click on it, the spinning ball comes up and takes approximately 10min before compressor reacts...!
    Wondering if anyone else is having the same experiencing?

    Based on the error message, it appears to be an issue with privileges. Make sure the user specified in the error message has the privilege to access the report.

  • Help me please going crazy, I have my Iphone 4S getting my e-mails from my computer using outlook but when I delete yhem on my computer they stay on my phone, I am syncing via the cloud, Is there a setting that stopps this e-mail from growing on my phone?

    For outlook or hotmail emails they use a pop server technology that you can't sync your computer and your iPhone with. You have to unfortunately delete the emails from both devices. It is super frustrating but that is the only way.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to save actions from exchange going directly into CS3

    I posted this in the NAPP forum, but I haven't gotten a solution yet. I hope someone here can help.
    I downloaded quite a few actions from Adobe exchange. When I did, I got the choice to either put them in a folder or open them in CS3. Many I just clicked to open in CS3. It was more time efficient. However, there are many of them, and I was looking specifically for a cartoon effect (which I don't use very often--special project) However, while I was looking, I found many other interesting actions. Anyway, I would like to clean up the actions area and bring up only the ones I use all the time. Generally I hit clear actions or reset actions and then I bring back in the ones I want. I'm afraid to do this because these actions are not listed in the actions folder. What will happen to them? Will they go away? There are quite a few of them, and I don't want to have to redownload them. Since they are not listed in the actions folder, how can I get them listed and make sure that I can access them again?
    I have tried creating a set to move them into. That didn't work. I tried highlighting all of them to put in a set. That didn't work. If they are selected, the flyout menu save actions in grayed out. How do I get them into the action folder?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    There are a lot of great brushes and things in the exchange, too. That I will tackle next after I figure out what I'm doing with the actions. (With help from the forum, of course)
    Thanks

    Good point: One can only save one Action Set at a time.
    Photoshop really doesn't care where you save .atn files. In other words the folder in which one saves Action Sets (via Save Actions... or via download from the Internet) does not have to be
    \Presets\Actions
    The benefit of saving .atn files in \Presets\Actions is the file names of .atn files in this folder show up at the bottom of the Actions Palette menu, facilitating easy loading into the Actions Pallete. For .atn files saved elsewhere, the Load Actions... command will do the trick.
    >re: I know I physically saved them into folders, but I should be able to see them somewhere, shouldn't I?
    Yes.
    Try this (assuming you are using Windows XP; if Vista it will be something of this nature):
    * Start > Search > For files or folders
    * Type .atn in the box labeled "All or part of the file name"
    * Click 'Search'
    When the search is complete, you should see the .atn files you saved plus any others on your computer.
    Hang in there. You'll be an action monster before you know it. :)

  • How can I get rid of weird stuff going on? Please help!

    Please some one help. Or re-direct me to a web site that can help.
    I installed 10.5.1 on my G4 Powerbook 1.67 Mhz from OS 10.3.9
    The first thing that went wrong was that the Sound application got grayed out after the restart. The mute button in the Preferences was clicked but grayed out. So I installed again like before. So it worked.
    So next I put one of my folders I kept always on the Desktop, where I had saved over the years pictures and things of interest, to have a fast access. I put this folder in to the Dock and tested it and the folder expanded and showed all the files in stack mode or grid. That is the last time I saw the Folder working in the Dock. Next the Icon showed a ? (question mark) that meant the original could not be accessed. Well even though I new the Folder name for sure and searched it, it just had disappeared.
    So next I went to Starbucks since I don't have DSL and Downloaded the upgrade to 10.5.2 than I went home. And just for the **** of it checked for new upgrades on my Dial-Up connection to find 4 new upgrades.(Safari 3.1, Leopard Graphic, Time Machine and Airport and Security 2008_002) Since it takes hours to download with my dial up connection I just choose to Download the Time Machine and Airport Update of 10.2 MB. It downloaded and up came the window that the new software needs a restart. So I clicked restart up comes a window that says "Installing 1 item". I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation. The cloud burst in purple??/
    In the "Install 1 item" window the status bar started moving for about 1 inch saying "Configuring Installation" and than stopped. And that was it. I waited for about 45 minutes and since nothing happened and I had no options I had to hold the start button down to shut down. Now after a deal like this I run always Utilities to repair the Permissions. That program is totally out of whack. It stops shortly after you click Repair Permissions and says something like "Repairing Permission Estimated time less than a minute". Well it takes about 10 minutes, than the status bar moves a bit and it says "Estimated time 39 minutes and than immediately counts down (like seconds) to 0 and says that the permissions are repaired. I also see and old blank disk entry that I had ejected earlier that still shows up in the left pane of the Utilities window.When I click on it the Utilities window moves from the First Aid tab to the next tab thats called Erase and ask me if I want to erase the DVD. But there is NO DVD in my drive.Now after Disk Utilitie repaired the Permission the following text appears in the window.
    ACL found but not expected on "Applications/Utilities"
    ACL found but not expected on "Application"
    ACL found but not expected on "Library"
    Sometimes there are a few more lines of text like this but this is just showing while I type this.
    So do you have any idea? what's going on. Otherwise everything seems to work alright like CS 2, Mail, Safari, Word and all my other programs. I also had weeded out as good as I could the old left over files and apps from OS 9 (classic)
    Any help would surely be great. Sincerely Volker and thanks for reading this long request.

    There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
    The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
    (look below all the "SUID" examples)
    I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
    Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
    Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

  • PLEASE HELP ASAP! Button in Flash CS3 not working

    I need help desperately. As soon as possible. I only know the
    VERY basic's of flash, so I need it to be simple!! I am using Flash
    CS3, but the only coding I know is from Flash 8.
    1.I simply want to just be able to type out text that will be
    my button. (I clearly know how to do this)
    2.Convert that text to a button. (I know how to do this as
    well)
    3. Apply an action to the button. (I keep getting the error
    "actions cannot be applied to the current selection")
    4. Have that button go to a specific place in the timeline
    that I have named (It has the red flag next so I know where to send
    the button to)
    5. This is the ONLY code I know is even close to what I need
    to have it be at:
    on (release) {
    //Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
    this.gotoAndStop("graphic");
    //End Behavior
    Is there a way to upload the flash files? If so I will
    upload, because I know this sounds simple enough, but it wont work.
    Thanks
    Ashlee

    You are trying to use AS1 in your movie, and the movie's
    Publish settings are set to use AS3. You can use your current code
    by opening the Publish Settings, going to the Flash tab and then
    selecting AS1-AS2 in the Actionscript option.
    A better, long term solution, would be to read through the
    tutorials that come with Flash CS3 to learn the proper coding
    techniques to use with AS3.

  • PSE 9 Help! My effects palette is blank! Also help installing actions..

    Maybe these two problems are related?
    I am new to PSE 9 but I was using 8 until now. I have great Actions that worked beautifully in PSE 8. I am trying to install them the same way for PSE 9 but I seem to be missing a whole folder.
    The path I take is:
    Library>Application Support>Adobe>PSE>9.0>Locale>
    Then All there is is a "Photo Creations Thumbnails" folder which is empty.
    Do I need to reinstall PSE?
    Also, My effects palette is totally blank! Nothing there to click on!
    Please help!!!
    Thanks!

    Thank you so much for all your help
    I ended up Uninstalling and Re-installing. The effects palette is working fine now-but I am still unable to install my actions for some reason.
    I went the same route and found the Photo Creations folder, copy pasted my actions.. When I opened PS, they were not there.
    I went back and looking in the Photo Creations folder and the actions were not there. I RE-copied them in the folder and it said they were already there?
    Weird.
    I clicked to replace the old ones, and I still do not actually see them in the folder.
    What the heck?

  • Help with Action script 2.0 please

    Hi,
    I am new to actionscript and i could really do with some help
    please. I am trying to load external movie clips into two different
    containers depending on which button is clicked. Sometimes there
    may be two conatiners attached to a buuton click, whilst other
    buttons may only need to load one movie clip. Here is the action
    script i have been using:
    button1.onPress = function () {
    _root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
    _root.createEmptyMovieClip("container1", 2);
    unloadMovie("container1");
    loadMovie("scene2.swf", "container");
    loadMovie("scene5.swf", "container1");
    container._x = 50 ;
    container._y = 110 ;
    container1._x = 170 ;
    container1._y = 5 ;
    button2.onPress = function () {
    loadMovie("scene6.swf", "container");
    unloadMovie("container1");
    container._x = 50 ;
    container._y = 110 ;
    This does load the movies, however i have to press button one
    first before button two will work. Ideally i need to be able to
    call any movieclip at any time. Can anyone tell me where i am going
    wrong?

    _root.createEmptyMovieClip("container1", 2);
    You can use "this" instead of "_root"... that'll save any
    problem if you ever move this within some other movie. Also, move
    the x/y assignments just under those lines since they relate to
    them directly.
    Hey thankyou for your help, that works now. although if i
    move the x and y assignments i would have to create another
    container right? Thanks again for your help.
