Help with tutorial

Hi,
I need help with the last step of this tutorial- I'm confused about which layer it is asking me to select.
The link: http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/quick-tip-how-to-create-a-3d-sketch-text-effect--vect or-4576
And i posted a screenshot of my illustrator open and the step of the tutorial I am on. I realized the tutorial is for an older version of illustrator but
I haven't had any issues so far… Stumped! Help!
Thanks!

This is the perfect example of why it is so important for trainers to label their layers. When all the layers say group and the rest is cropped by the dialog box, it really would cause confusion.
In other words, it is not your fault you were confused, it the the person that created that tutorial.
Other than contacting the trainer, you will need to follow Monika's advise.

Need Help with Tutorial! Hachures/Clipping Mask?

Hi All, I am really struggling with this step of this awesome tutorial. I am not quite understanding how the end result of the below steps is achieved. Here are the instructions for each step (paraphrased):
1) Create a triangle, make it slim, duplicate it many times and group it.
2) Shows end result of step 1
3) Place the object over the area that you want hachures. Make a trace on the area you want to be filled using the pen tool.
4) Make a clipping mask on it
5) (end result) Repeat the same procedure.
I have no problem making the triangles, but I got stuck after that step. I made a trace over the area, but I get stuck after making a clipping mask.
I know the pictures below are small, please go to the original link and scroll down to see the referenced steps in bigger form (sorry, numbers are not referenced in tutorial, but it is somewhere towards the middle of the page):

Thanks in advance!

Mylenium, after reading your post I went back, you were right (duh) my clipping mask wasn't closed and I did not have it as the top most layer.
Monika Gause, I will try and be a bit more clear with my questions in the future. I am sure it is pretty obvious, but I am a noob in a lot of ways!
I love this forum, thanks to both of you!

Need help with order booking tutorial

Hi
I am new to OracleFusion.
Started Learning By practising OrderBooking tutorial for 10g.
I am practising parellel branching in the tutorial .
I ve invoked Rapid distributors service in branch 1 of the flow activity.

i ve invoked Select manufacturing service in branch 2 of flow activity.
I ve deployed order booking service,rapid distributed service,select manufacturing service in the server.
Select manufacturing service is an asynchronous service .for this service to be complete it requires user to manually set price for the item ordered.
So I accesed SelectManufacturinUI in browser as instructed in book.The problem is tht it is directing me to login page where User id and password should be submitted.
In the tutorial no info is given regarding login details fot this page.Hence i am not able to set price for order.
So the Select manufacturing service is not completed ..hence i am not able to move further in the tutorial..

Help with RMI tutorial (and Eclipse)

Hi!
I need a little help with RMI tutorial. I have all source files from tutorial downloaded, but I never did anything like this and don't know, how to run it. I somehow did Building a JAR File of Interface Classes from [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17409_01/javase/tutorial/rmi/compiling.html], but got stuck on simple HTTP server, I didn't understand, what to do.
Bonus question: is it possible to do those commands from Eclipse? How?
Thanks a lot!

It seems that the example provided (in the link) requires a web serverNo it doesn't. It requires an HTTP server.
tomcat will be a better option which you can useThe Apache HTTP server might be more to the point.
But If you are new to RMI and need to understand the exact flow of RMI I think this will not be a better exercise to start withI agree. I would get it running without the codebase feature. This isn't as widely used as you might think, and anyway it is a deployment option not something you need to engage with much when developing.
@OP: ignore the HTTP stuff and the codebase feature and build 3 JAR files:
(a) the common stuff (remote interface, stubs if any, and any classes referecned by the remote interface)
(b) the server (the remote object itself and anything server-side it uses)
(c) the client.
The common JAR file should be deployed to both the server and the client, and both the other JARs should name it in their Class-Path entry in the manifest.

Help with getting a better understanding on how APEX submits its pages

Hi,
I have implemented jquery with my app and have just applied the jquery UI plugins.
I have the jquery UI dialog function working which gives the users some options. Now as an example, I have a cancel and a continue button. If the user clicks cancel it simply stops the page from submitting. Which works perfectly however, I cannot get the continue button to carry on with the request.
I gather that I will need to determine what the href was of the link/button that was clicked before the dialog box appears.
I know Apex uses a javascript function call doSumit() which simply submits the page but what does it use for other href like links to other pages?

The problem is that you're taking a camcorder format that Premiere Elements is able to work with and converting it to a format that it can NOT work with.
That Canon camcorder produces AVCHD video. You should shoot any video you want to edit in Premiere Elements only in MXP or FXP mode. Then, when you're ready to edit the video in Premiere Elements, you should set up a project for AVCHD 1920x1080 stereo. (Unless you're shooting in 5.1 audio. This cam shoots in a number of formats.)
DO NOT CONVERT YOUR VIDEO BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN PREMIERE ELEMENTS.
You can then use these specs to output high-quality video for YouTube.

New Mac user looking for help with Finder, Preview, Keyboard, & Dock

So about a month ago I switched over from a lifelong Windows user to a brand new MacBook Pro, and while I am adjusting pretty well, there are still some things that I haven't quite figured out.
First up on the list is Finder! I like my files to be arranged just like how they are in Windows Explorer--folders first alphabetically, then files alphabetically. I've managed to acquire this setting by messing around with the "clean up by" and "arrange by" functions but I don't really know the specific combination. Most of the time these preferences are saved and set as the defaults under "View Options" but every once in a while it resets and I have to tinker around with the settings all over again. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? It's only happened twice so far, but I'd rather not have it happen again. Also, occasionally when I delete an item, there is a blank space left where the icon was instead of all the files following it bumping up a space. Any quick fixes for this bug?
Next up is Preview. Again, I like the Windows Way and I like to be able to browse between the files in a folder while using Preview/Windows Photo Viewer. I know that there is a way to browse between files if you select the whole folder and stick it in Preview, but is there a way to achieve the same result without having to do that? An app or "extension" of some sort that adds arrows in to browse between photos? I've had no luck finding anything other than the aforementioned option. Is there a good free alternative to Preview that will function similarly with the browse between photos option?
One of my favorite things about my new Mac is the backlit keyboard function. My old laptop didn't have it and as someone who is online more often at night it is super helpful. But is there a way to turn it off during the day/in bright settings? A way to put it on a timer? In System Preferences I selected the option "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light", which I assumed to mean would have the keyboard NOT very bright when there IS light, but it continues to light up just the same. Any apps or extensions to help with this one?
And finally, the dock! This question is more about aesthetics than functionality but help is appreciated all the same. Currently, my dock looks like this: http://i42.tinypic.com/35ktxlz.png It is rather opaque and the indicator lights can barely be seen. However, in a lot of tutorial videos I've been watching, many people have docks that look like this: http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/07/19/Lion_LaunchPad.png It is a darker shade of gray, the divider is dashed rather than a straight line, and the indicator lights are clearly visible. Does anybody know how to get this look for the dock? I've looked in the dock preferences but there's not really anything in there other than magnification/size/effects.
That about sums things up! I'm sorry if any of these seem like "silly" questions but they are all things I have been unable to find answers for. Any and all tips, tricks, and help is appreciated! Thanks in advance for all your help!!

congratulations on coming over from the dark side.
Seems like you are interested in column view, which would show you the hierarchy of folders and files: Column View in Mac OS X Mountain Lion - For Dummies Not sure what's going on if your finder settings don't stay put. May be a corrupted preferences file, which is easy to fix, but is perhaps a topic for another discussion.
What I'd suggest is to have an open mind and try to see what the mac can do, rather than force it to look like your windows machine. I mean, if you just want it to look like windows, then why bother switching? If you give it a little time, you'll start to appreciate the mac way of doing things, and see how it is infinitely more awesome, powerful, creative, intuitive, and better designed (and the software way better written) than what you left behind. But that's your call.
There are some threads on this forum with complaints about the backlight. Keyboard backlight settings query...: Apple Support Communities Evidently it depends on the angle of the screen and the light sensor relative to the light. Some suggest that a SMC reset may help: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) This is not an issue for me, I just adjust the brightness with the keyboard buttons if I want. Real men shift their own gears, drink their coffee black, and adjust their own keyboard brightness. I am not aware of any software to exert more control over this feature but a search of macupdate Download Apple Mac Software & iPhone Software : MacUpdate may help. I mean, it's up to you what is important. I can waste a lot of time playing around with the GUI and with unnecessary software, or I can just get my work (and play) done.
You might prefer the no-glass dock, that removes the shelf, and makes the indicator lights like more discrete orbs. You can do this with the terminal. Using the terminal is also, perhaps, a topic for another discussion.I like the 2D dock much better. If you want I'll give you some directions for how to do it. Otherwise, here's a reference: 2D Dock - MacRumors Forums

Help with making JLabel visible for a few seconds only

Hello guys,
I need help with making a JLabel object visible for a few seconds only and disappear when a JButton has been clicked.
Here is piece of code where I add mouse listener to the JButton object in my case is (jrbFigure1) and
when is called sets icon and text to the JLabel jlbl object:
jrbFigure1.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
jrbFigure1.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
jlbl.setIcon(cross);
jlbl.setText(wrong);
This piece of code is in a switch statement, the statement is in a method.
The JLabel jlbl object is added in a panel in the constructor of the class.
I really hope someone could help me on this issue.
I would like to thank you in advance for any help or advice given.

I want the label to appear for X seconds when then button is pressed and disappear after that.Then a Swing Timer is what you want to use.
I need to do this in a number of cases from a switch statement because I several buttons.Better to have several ActionListeners, one for each button or each type of button, rather than one ActionListener with a large switch statement, a so-called switch-board listener. They're messy to debug and upgrade.

Need help with creating template. Changes are not going through to index.html page

Hi all,
I have an issue with my template that I am creating and also a question about creating template Regions (Repeating and Editable).
Somehow my changes to my index.dwt are not changing my index.html page.
Also my other question is: For my top navigation bar and left navigation bar links, do I need to select and define each individual button or link as Repeating/Editable Region? or can I just select the whole navigation bar (the one on the top) etc...
Below are my steps for creating my template...I am kinda fairly new to using DW and this is my first attempt to making a template following the DW tutorial CD that came with DW CS3.
I appreciate any help with this...regards, Dano
-Open my index.html file
-File/save as template
-Save
-update links - yes
-Select Repeating and Editable Regions (I selected the whole top navigation bar and selected Repeating Region and Editable Region, same with the left side navigation links)
-File close all
-Open the index.dwt
-Save as and selected the index.html and chose to overide it..
When I make changes to my index.dwt it is not changing the index.html
I feel that I am missing some important steps here.....

Need help with a simple process with FTP Adapter and File Adapter

I am trying out a simple BPEL process that gets a file in opaque mode from a FTP server using a FTP adapter and writes it to the local file system using a File Adapter. However, the file written is always empty (zero bytes). I then tried out the FTPDebatching sample using the same FTP server JNDI name and this work fine surprisingly. I also verified by looking at the FTP server logs that my process actually does hit the FTP server and seems to list the files based on the filtering condition - but it does not issue any GET or RETR commands to actually get the files. I am suspecting that the problem could be in the Receive, Assign or Invoke activities, but I am not able identify what it is.
I can provide additional info such as the contents of my bpel and wsdl files if needed.
Would appreciate if someone can help me with this at the earliest.
Thanks

Help with importing PC photo files and then organizing it all in iPhoto

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to mac but I am just loving my purchase! I need some serious help with getting all of my photos organized though so I can easily find it for editing in iMovie.
I've accumulated over 10,000 photos stored on my PC which I've since transferred over to my LaCie external drive for my MacBook Pro via a wireless network connecting my PC & Mac. Some of these I've put onto my laptop internal hard drive and those I've imported into the iPhoto library. However, do I need to move the rest of the photos from my LaCie drive into my internal hard drive to import the photos into iPhoto, or can I tell iPhoto to look for the files in the external drive. If so, how do I do that? I know I'll then have to create albums in order to sort them, which I know how to do. Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
I am quickly running out of hard drive space on my laptop which is why I've put most of my photos on the external drive. Once I organize my existing collection, I would like to be able to import new pictures and have it stored on my external drive, not my internal drive. How do I do that?
Any other tips on organizing a massive photo library would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen

Karen,
Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
This is where you get to enjoy the power of iPhoto's database. You can change the Sort in the View menu. Check out View > Sort Photos > by Date.
Or, click the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. This allows you to filter the library by year, month, week, or date. You can Command-click to add another date to your filter. You can Option-click to choose a recurring date: you get that month or date for all years in your library. [Want to see your kid's birthday for every year? Just Option-Click that date. Cool.]
The keywords filter is similar. There is a preference setting where you choose to filter based on ALL keywords chosen (where by choosing more keywords you narrow your field) or ANY keyword (where the more keywords you choose, the larger your field will be). Click on a keyword to filter your library by all photos containing that keyword. Use Command-click to add more keywords to the filter. A difference is that Option-click will eliminate photos with that keyword from your filter. [You can find all pictures of your kids with your dog but NOT at Halloween.]
You can create Smart Albums to combine the use of dates, keywords, ratings, titles, comments and more. The more information you enter into the database, the more powerful the tools become.
When your task of importing is complete and you are ready to play with iPhoto's features it may help to look at the iPhoto multimedia tutorial. Better organized than trying to read through the Help files, it can help you get acquainted with many of iPhoto's features.
Have fun.

Need help with a small application

Here is what I need to do:

Help with placing photos in Lightroom 4.2

I am making my first book in the Book module and I'm not finding it as flexible as I expected. I'm slowly figuring out some answers to the questions that have arisen, but I'd like some help with the following.
1. Can I add a small photo to the last page above the logo?
2. Can I put a border around a photo on the front, like a frame? Or do I have to prepare a jpg in Photoshop Elements with the frame and my photo?
3. Can I move or resize those yellow-bordered placement boxes, or make a custom layout if none of the layouts are exactly what I want?
Answeres to these questions will take a lot of frustration out of the process. :-)
Thanks,
Nancy

Help with creating a layout.

I need help creating a layout for my program, but am having tons of problems. I just an't that good at creating this, and it's been driving me insane.
Here's the link to how I want it to look like. http://s94182144.onlinehome.us/randomstuff/layout.JPG
In panel 1... that will be a cartesian plain, so it will pretty much be empty until lines and stuff are drawn in there.
In panel 2, there will be two drop down menus and a couple of buttons
In panel 3, there will be a bunch of things, with two buttons on the bottom.... and this section has to be scrollable.
Any help with the basic layout will be helpful... I can put in the buttons myself. For reference, the whole programs size is 400x800.
Thanks,

Read this section from the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]How to Use Layout Managers. You can combine multiple Layout Managers to get the effect your want. By default the content pane uses the BorderLayout, so one approach might be:
JPanel center = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
center.add(panel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
center.add(panel2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
getContentPane().add(center, BorderLayout.CENTER);
getContentPane().add(panel3, BorderLayout.EAST);
It turn you would layout panel1, panel2 and panel3 with the appropriate layout manager. Panel2 could be something like:
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel( new BorderLayout() );
panel2.add(comboBox1, BorderLayout.WEST);
panel2.add(comboBox2, BorderLayout.EAST);
JPanel bottom = new JPanel();
bottom.add(button1);
buttom.add(button2);
panel.add(bottom, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
