How can I add drop shadow to a vehicle that changes direction ?
Hi,
Flash CS5
Is it possible to add drop shadow to plan views of vehicles (vehicles are png images as MovieClips) such that as the vehicles change direction along roads (also png images) the shadow is always cast to north west ot the vehicle ? Buildings in the base png image have shadows but vehicles also need them so as to belong to the scene and not appear false.
How is it done ?
Is there control over opacity and softness ?
If I were to have plan views of humans walking would the shadows follow the leg movements ?

you can control the dropshadow's angle property dynamically. and, yes the dropshadowfilter has an alpha and strength properties you can use.
use the help files to see all the properties you can use.

How can I create drop shadows with PSE10
How can I create drop shadows with PSE10 & PE10?
Layer styles let you quickly apply effects to an entire layer. In the Effects panel, you can view a variety of predefined layer styles and apply a style with just a click of the mouse.
Three different layer styles applied to text
The boundaries of the effect are automatically updated when you edit that layer. For example, if you apply a drop shadow style to a text layer, the shadow changes automatically when you edit the text.
Layer styles are cumulative, which means that you can create a complex effect by applying multiple styles to a layer. You can apply one style from each style library per layer. You can also change a layer’s style settings to adjust the final result.
When you apply a style to a layer, a style icon appears to the right of the layer’s name in the Layers panel. Layer styles are linked to the layer contents. When you move or edit the contents of the layer, the effects are modified correspondingly.
Once you choose Layer > Layer Style > Style Settings, you can edit the settings of a layer’s style or apply other style settings or attributes available in the dialog box.
Lighting Angle Specifies the lighting angle at which the effect is applied to the layer.
Drop Shadow
Specifies the distance of a drop shadow from the layer’s content. You can also set the size and opacity with the sliders.
Outer Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the outside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
Inner Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the inside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
Bevel Size Specifies the size of beveling along the inside edges of the layer’s content.
Bevel Direction Specifies the direction of the bevel, either up or down.
Stroke Size Specifies the size of the stroke.
Stroke Opacity Specifies the opacity of the stroke. -

How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day...I have an ipad.
How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day?
Do you happen to have a Mac? If so, and if you use iCloud to sync your calendars, you can do that on your Mac and your iPad will understand. But you cannot create such a repitition (or something like the third Tuesday of each month) on your iPad.
In Calendar on your Mac, you would create the event, choose "Custom ..." as the repitition frequency, then choose "Days" and choose every 3 days. -
Can't add drop shadow to text in PSE 6
Everyone says to do Layer > Layer Style > Style Settings.
But when I go to Layer Style and try to get to Style Settings, Style Settings is greyed out. (The text in quesiton is already selected.)
In fact, I've tried everything possible to get Style Settings to become engaged and have not been able to do that.
Also, when I go into Effects and try to add cool effect (torn paper, glowing edges, etc.) to the text, it automatically changes the color of my text. For example, my text is orange and when I tried "glowing edges" it changed the text to olive drab... and it certainly didn't glow.
Any guidance you can give with these issues... thanks!Style Settings is for adjusting styles you've already added. The effects you listed are all filters, not effects or layer styles and they use the foreground/background colors, so yes, they will change the color of your text. To apply a drop shadow click the Layer styles button on the effects panel, choose drop shadows from the pulldown menu and double click the one you want. If you don't like it, undo it and try a different one. Then you should be able to adjust things like the angle and distance of the shadow by adjusting the style settings.

How can I add a shadow to a tabbed panel?
Trying to put a shadow on the active state of a tabbed panel so the tab and the content areas share one continuous shadow. Want the active panel to look like it's sitting above the other, inactive panels - the way a stack of file folders would look: shadows on all the tabs, but the folder on the top of the stack would have a shadow around the tab and the rest of the folder.
I can get the shadows to work on the tabs - where the active tab has a larger shadow than the normal (inactive) tabs and they look like they're sitting behind it - but when I try to add a shadow to the content panel it makes the panel appear to sit above the tab that goes with it. I tried arranging the tab on top ("Bring to front") but it still sits behind the content panel. Also tried pulling all the tabs to the front, but the content panel still sits in front and any shadow on the active panel is still over the active tab.
I know I can get an effect that's kinda-sorta what I'm going for with flat color (lighter for active, etc.) but would love to add some truer-looking depth to the active tabbed panel.
Any suggestions?you can control the dropshadow's angle property dynamically. and, yes the dropshadowfilter has an alpha and strength properties you can use.

How can I add an image to a project and change it at runtime?
I'm using JBuilder6 and I thought I saw a control to add images but I can't find it. I also wanted to be able to change the control at runtime. Also how should I specify the path so it knows how to use it? I hate to hard code one in. Since this is probably gonna be ported to other OS does Java have a way around this? I was going to put the images into my project's directory. For me to be able to just include the file w/the extension do I need to put it in the src folder or will the main directory be accessible?
To add an image, or other source file with JBuilder, you have a button call "Add to project", his icon is a folder with a green cross.
To call the Image os independant, I sugest you to put your images in a folder "image" in your project folder. Then to call them, you could use this :
image=new ImageIcon(AClass.class.getResource("image"+java.io.File.separator+imageName));Where AClass is a class of your project, in general, the class where you call getRessource;
"image" is the name of the under folder where are the image in your project folder;
imageName is a string with the name of the file witch contains the image, for exemple : "my image.gif"I hope I help you.

How can I add a web counter to site that is NOT hosted by apple?
Iweb 09 is now able to create and publish a web site to NON Apple host. I have one site hosted by apple, and one that is not. It is really great that now I don't need to have another web site editor program. BUT- as this site is created on iweb, I cannot add a web counter because I do not see the html for the site. Iweb 09 does not see to offer the choice of saving to a folder, so that I then would be able to add the html code for the counter.
I tried to use Itweak, but as the web site is not on my idisk, I have been unable to add the counter. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?Old Toad's Tutorial #13 - Adding a StatCounter as an HTML Snippet

I have a custom budget using Numbers '08 and have labeled a chart in previous versions of my budget but when I tried to update it for the new year I can't figure out how to make the label change dynamically as I drag the selected area to the adjacent column. I have checked Numbers Help and Tutorial videos as wellas the manual and have not found anything that comes close to helping but as I said I had it on previous versions but obviously don't remember how I did it and unfortuanately it is not a very intuitive feature. Thanks in advance for any help on this.
The linkage appears to be automatic, but when broken, does not reattach itself.
Redoing the chart isn'r a long process, though, unless you've made extensive format changes to it. Here's my process, which started with a headerless table wiht the Month labels in Row 1 (and a Chart that had an "Untitled" label on the category axis, and ended with the table and chart shown below:
Click on any cell in the table to activate it.
Go Table > Add Header Row.
Select the cells containing the month names. Copy.
Select the cells in the same columns of the Header row. Paste.
Select the table. If the Header for the current month is highlighted and the month label is on the table, Stop here. If not (and it probably will not be), continue.
Delete the existing Chart (or drag it aside to use as a colour and style reference)
Unhide any hidden rows used in the Chart.
Select the cells to be charted.
Click the Series orientation control (¡¡¡) to change it. The control will turn 90° and move from the column highlight to the row highlight.
Your table and chart should now resemble the one in the image above. Edit the style as needed and you're done.

How can I add a description to a photo so it will be emailed with the photo?
How can I add a description to a photo that I am going to email so it will be emailed with the photo? For that matter how can I add a description to a photo that will stay with (or on?) the photo?
Add your description as you normally would. Then export the photo using the File -> Export command. In the resulting dialogue you have a number of options. If you check the box at Titles and Descriptions then these wil be written to the IPTC metadata of the files, and available in any app that understands this metadata.

You can add elements to your DDbyIndex like this:
//Example: Popular un Dropdown by Index usando Nodos de contexto
// NODE[Card: 1..n, Sele:1..1] Si es obligatorio; || NODE[Card: 0..n, Sele:0..1] Si no es obligatorio y se puede dejar en blanco
//Assuming we created a node called "Source", with a string attribute called "Texto" binded to the dropdownbyindex
for (int i = 1; i <= 101; i++)
ISourceElement sourceElement = wdContext.createSourceElement();
sourceElement.setTexto("Text number "+i);
wdContext.nodeSource().addElement(sourceElement);
