Help with Background Color

Posting this for a second time -
If I change the background color of my document, I can't see
it, nor can I see the different fill colors of any symbols I add to
Scene 1. The colors show fine when I run the movie. It is using the
outline color to display all the objects on the work area whether I
am in outline mode or not. I don't know what I did, but I could not
find a menu item to turn it off.
Thanks for your help.

On the timeline, you should have 3 icons next to the layer
name. If it's active, you'll see the 'pencil', otherwise you'll
see: A dot or X, a dot of X, and then a square with a color.
Each layer should have the square with a color. If the square
has a black border with a fill, you are looking at the fills for
that layer. Otherwise, if the border is a color, and the center
matches the panel bg color, then you're looking at the outlines,
but just for that layer.
You may want to go through your timelines and make sure all
of your layers are set to fill mode. Could be that you missed one
somewhere.

Please Help with background color problem in loaded .swf

I am stuck!
This is Flash CS4...
I created a flash application which loads in many other little flash applications (.swf files) based on menu selections.
When I change one of the little applications the changes are viewable except when I change the background color.
After the first time I view the application, the background color changes do not carry over to the main app. I run the little ones stand alone and they show the new color, then I run the main app and any other changes I have made are there but not the color change. When I remove the file and the load fails, the old backround color still displays in the container movie clip the .swf was previously loaded into.
I have tried several different options and the only thing that worked was renaming and copying and deleting and making a big mess. There has to be a way to force a refresh of this mysteriously saved color. doesn't there?
Please help!
Thanks!
Vivian

Hi Antonia
I am loading the swf into an instance of a movie clip:
var myLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myLoader.loadClip("Capitalization.swf", contCapitalization);
it is the background of Capitalization.swf that will not change
this is AS 2 since the app was created before I upgraded
Any ideas?

Iphoto 9.6.1 how do I leave pix space blank, filled in with background color

I'm making a photo book using iPhoto 9.6.1 How do I leave pix space blank, filled in with background color? I want half the page taken up with a picture and the other half colored in.

There's actually an option to iPhoto Library Manager that makes this all almost work flawlessly (and work well enough for me). With the exception of Photo Albums that the pictures are part of, if you select "Library > Rebuild Library..." and then select "Scavange Orphaned Photos" check box, then it will put all the Photos and Movies into the "Scavanged Photos" album. It matches the modified pictures to their originals. It preserves all the event names and photo groupings. All the meta-data I could spot check it got right (although with 44k pictures, I only checked a few). If you fail to select this option, however, it will find no pictures at all when it goes to rebuild the library (this was true of the small test libraries I tried as well as the big, monster 280GB library I just finished converting). The conversion process took 5 hours to run, but in the end produced a library my new iPhoto can read and that I can interact with. I'll be suggesting to the iPhoto Library Manager folks a notation that would estimate the number of Orphaned Photos and display that number as a hint to the user that the option would be useful.
Edited: Thanks to Old Toad and LarryHN for their help in finding which of the many options to transition this library to 9.5.1 I needed to use. Sorry if I took my frustration of the past several months out on you guys for generously trying to help me.

How to add the text box with background color in Acrobat 9 Pro ? (Urgent)

I have previously used the Callout tool to add the comments in a PDF file, but the comments were difficult to read as some of them were mixed with the pictures just shown below. Therefore , I hope that there's a tool that can create the box with background color, but I cannot find such tool. What should I do ? Hope to get the answer ASAP, as it's very urgent !
P.S. The picture below is represent the problem: the comment are difficult to read.

In the properties of the callout comment you can change the fill color.

Selective replace foreground-color with background-color

Hi,
I'm new to Photoshop and coming from paint shop pro (psp).
Now I have to recolor a black dotted arrow in a bitmap to red.
All other contents are black, too. In psp there is a tool/brush to
replace foreground-color with background-color. So I'd select
black as foreground-color and red as background-color, hover
with cursor over the area to recolor and that's it.
How to do it with Photoshop?
Thanks in advance

Can you clarify this? It sounds like you have a black arrow on a black background.

Iphoto: problem with background color on Calendar. Help!

I have made 4 calendars using iphoto now. The first time I did it, I was able to custom background color the pages, including the bottom half with month and days. Since then, the only page that works for making background color changes is the top page (the border between photos). What am I doing wrong? When I go back to my original calendar (which I saved), I can still change the colors, but it doesn't work on any subsequent calendars. Can someone please advise?
Thanks,
Catherine

Catherine,
you might try to change the "Theme" of your calendar. Not all themes allow to change the background color for the calendar page. For example, the "Colored Paper" theme lets you select the background color for all pages - click the "Layout" button and select a page in the page browser; then select a colored background tile, like this:

Help with creating color schemes in Illustrator file

I'm repeating a particular background image on each page of a calendar and would like to change its colors on each page. There are 2 gradients in the image which use a total of four different colors. I'm not at all skilled in color theory and was wondering if anyone can please tell me if there's an easy way to come up with harmonious color combinations that I can apply to the original Illustrator file? My shortcut solution would be to convert the color to grayscale and apply a color overlay, but the image just looks flat when I do that. I would prefer to adjust the gradients individually but just don't know how to find compatible colors.
Here's a preview of the image followed by a DropBox link to the Illustrator file.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/background1.ai
Thanks!

Couple ideas for you:
First, try using the color wheel on color.adobe.com. Select the middle color and add your hex code to the color. The app will automatically show you analogous colors. See an example here. You can also experiment with the other color rules in the Color Rule menu (just click on one of them).
Second, take a look at themes created by others. If you are looking generally for colors that work well with yellow, you can browse the most popular themes and spot some which use yellow.
I hope that helps.

Responsive animation with background color that spans 100%

I've create a responsive animation with simple background colors. I'd loe for the background colors to bleed 100%, but can not seem to find a way to do it easily. I've actually had to layer two animations on top of each other and just js. (this site is in development: http://newsite.insightpd.com/what-we-do/ ) I'd love for the red and gray to go 100% while still being centered and staying responsive. What am I missing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
PS, I'm using the edge plugin for wordpress and am just uploading the aom file.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Did you incorporate % widths during the creation of the animation?
Nice job btw
Also your template is using fixed widths for that section that houses the Edge Animate - you also need to adjust for % in your WP template css (see capture).

Text Standard in Sapscript: Problema with background color

Does anyone know why this is happening ?
Thanks

Welcome to SDN.
If you are using a BMP image file then save it as 256 bitmap file and then upload it. Even after that if issue persist check with your BASIS for the drivers.

Composing mail with background color?

Does anyone know of a way to compose a message in Mail with a background color (say, light blue) behind the text? I know Mail lets you choose type colors, and also lets you set text and background colors for the message header as it appears in the directory, but I've not found a way to set a background color for the message window itself. Anybody know how?
I'm running OS 10.3.9 with Mail 1.3.11.
Thanks!

Well, judging by the complete lack of answers from Apple, I think it's safe to say adding background color to a message is not supported in OS X Mail (At least, not 2.1.1).
The likeliest place to specify a document or background color would have to be the Fonts dialog, since it contains a specific selector for "Document Color". Of course, this is the same Fonts dialog that is integrated throughout the whole OS, and this particular control has no effect on a Mac Mail message. I've tried selecting system colors, web colors, even picked a color using the eyedropper with no success.
I'm going to speculate that this is because document color is a feature of HTML formatting -not Rich Text formatting- and Mac Mail (up to version 2.1.1) doesn't even offer HTML formatting as an option. Pretty lame, if you ask me.
That said, I see the version of mail shipping with Leopard is promising custom "stationary", and that usually means HTML format. I guess we'll have to go upgrade the whole OS just to get this rudimentary capability.

Filling with background color

hi, i am trying to do something that paints some controls on the screen, and if a control reacts in a certain way, it should be repainted. the problem is, some controls are small, so instead a 'repaint' handler for all the screen, it would be nice to just repaint the part that changed
in other words, instead of
graphics.clear();
repaint_all();
i would like to have something like
graphics.beginfill(ERASE, 1);
erase_component();
redraw_component();
which i believe would be faster. the reason i can not just say 'fill with background colour' is beacuse 1. background color can be arbitrary, (though it would be nice to have a flash-provided constant or a maccro called BACK_COLOR or something), and 2. because in this case in particular, the background may be a picture (bmp, jpeg whatever) in a sprite below. if i paint a solid block, the block will not erase but instead appear as a block over the background picture. is there anything in flash as an 'erase' fill?
2. (not related with question title). how do i a. turn off all default options in right click menu (except the 'about flash', wich can not be turned off if running player as stand alone), and b. add a custom item in right click menu
tnx

hi, i know there is a graphics object for each thing. i am making my own event handler, i have all controls as pictures in the same object (as the system does, i am doing it without delegating to the system or flash) tnx for the contextmenu tip

Help with Pantone+ colors?

I know this has been posted many times but I have not been able to track down an answer...
I'm working on Illustrator CC and looking to create a logo with PMS colors. I know the CMYK breakdown of a certain color, PMS 467, (9, 15, 34, 0), as we've been using it for years. When I go to use that color in CC, it's much darker and different.
I looked here (http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/pantone-plus.html) and tried to remove the Pantone+ libraries and replaced with Pantone from my old CS5. The problem is still occurring. Maybe it just isn't set to realize this? When I select color books though, the + is definitely gone, but the color is still off.
It's not practical for me to use my old laptop with CS5, it's way too old and slow.
Is there ANYTHING anyone knows on how to get through this? I know the people I am doing this logo for are going to want the PMS and the CMYK colors and I know they aren't going to be on CC/CS6. I desperately need the older color books on CC.
Thank you so much in advance!!!

Hi Monica - I should have mentioned in my original post - I did indeed do that.... still not working correctly

Word 2007 to PDF with Background Color

Hello,
We have a Word 2007 document which has a Blue background and White Fonts.
When we print to PDF, we can only see the Blue background and the fonts are NOT visible
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

Well, now I'm confused <g>.
Following your directions:
--| opened a new DOCX with Word 2007 & saved
--| then, from the Page Layout ribbon; Page Color > selected a Theme Coler of dark blue (top row, 4th from left)
--| entered some text (creatively, I entered "This page has a blue backgroud)
This text had the default font color (black)
--| selected the text string, right clicked for the context menu, selected "Font"
--| in the Font Dialog, used the "Font color" drop-down to change the font color
--| selected "white" (top left selection from the Theme Colors)
--| from the Acrobat ribbon, opened Preferences
--| used my default configuration:
     --| Settings tab: all selected except - Create PDF/A-1a 2005 compliant file & Attach source file
     --| Security tab: the add-in default (nothing selected)
     --| Word tab: first choice not selected; other two selected
     --| Bookmarks tab: first and third selected, second not selected
     --| Video: as-is with the default selections
--| clicked Create PDF & Save
--| output PDF: page background is the dark blue; font color is white & readily viewed.
fwiw -
Used MS Word 2007 (Office Enterprise)
Vista Ultimate
Acrobat 9 Professional Extended (TCS v2)
PDF output via Adobe PDFMaker (the "Acrobat" ribbon)
Time for a glass of the wine left over from yesterday?
Be well...

Can anyone help with changing colors without making a selection

I've been trying to work the the script below. All the front most paths are black I want to change them all to yellow without having to select them first.
Any help would be really appreciated. "I am a novice javascripter"
var myStyles = app.activeDocument.pathItems;
lastStyle=myStyles[myStyles.length-1]
lastStyle.remove();
frontStyle=myStyles[0]
frontStyle.filled=true;
// Sets the default fill color in the current document to yellow.
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
//added
frontPath = frontStyle;
// Define the new color
var newRGBColor = new RGBColor();
newRGBColor.red = 255;
newRGBColor.green = 255;
newRGBColor.blue = 0;
// Use the color object in the path item
frontPath.filled = true;
frontPath.fillColor = newRGBColor;

A couple of pointers from one novice to another… With script there is NO need to deal with 'selections' to change the writeable properties of any object you simply need reference them with your code as you have done above… You can select art and you can deal with user selected art should you wish but as a rule for all else just target the object with your syntax… The best thing to do is to get your code working… as you know the current state to be ( a document open with you test objects in it ) once you have this then add to it by wrapping your conditionals around this… For example…
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
     // All your code goes inside this statement
There is no point in getting the path items of the active document then checking later if there is a doc… Just a case of putting things in there respective order…
The property filled… I only use to check the state, giving an object a fill will automatically update this… So here are your lines with a little reshuffle and a loop example…
// Check there is a doc open
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
          // set a variable to the front document
          var doc = app.activeDocument;
          //Make your new color
          var rgbYellow = new RGBColor();
          // assign some values
          rgbYellow.red = 255;
          rgbYellow.green = 255;
          rgbYellow.blue = 0;
          // set variable to the collection ( list ) you want
          var paths = doc.pathItems;
          // loop this using a variable 'i'
          for ( var i = 0; i < paths.length; i++ ) {
                    paths[i].fillColor = rgbYellow;
          }; // this is your loop ending
}; // this is the condition ending
