How can we make smart objects smarter?

Smart objects are great and can be a really useful time saver. That said, i'm having a problem and I'm hoping that there is a solution out there. I'll preface this with the statement that, I may not be using smart objects as they were intended, but I feel like this is how they should work:
A basic example - say you have a "Login" button.
It would be great/obvious to have that as a smart object. It would be greater still to have the on, off, rollover, clicked states to be within that smart object.
Now, if you place that smart object as a linked object into a document, there is no way to say "in this instance, I want to show the off state of the button". If you open the smart object and change the state to that and save - then it will update all instances everywhere in all PSDs where it exists and all of your buttons are now in an off state.
Now, clearly, in this example, the easy answer is just make 4 smart objects. Easy peasy.
The problem with that is two fold:
1. if "Login" changes to "Logon" I need to make that change in 4 places instead of just one.
2. The button example is simple, but what if my smart object is more complicated than that? What if there a complex set of layers that make up that object? Making changes to multiple complex layer files kind of defeats the purpose of having smart objects no?
You can embed the object and thus break the external link and change things to your heart's content without effecting other instances - but then what really is the value of creating the smart object then? You might as well just have a layer group that you drag from PSD to PSD.
The way smart objects should work, IMHO, is that you should be able to toggle layers on and off per instance of the object, BUT any pixel modifications to a layer within, bubble up to all instances that are displaying that layer (say - a colour change, or text change, etc).
Thoughts?

How can we make one object as synchronizable?

Hi!
I am new to java.How can we make one object as synchronizable?
Thanx

Synchronize is used to make an object and/or a functional sequence thread safe. By itself it does not make something thread safe.
So the point is to make something thread safe not just to synchronize it.
You can either sychronize a method like so....
      public synchronized void doit()
Or you synchronize on an object (where 'Object' below is solely as an example, any object can be used)...
      Object lockObject = new Object();
      public void doit()
         sychronized (lockObject)

How can i make my object appear as a mesh?

How can I make an object appear as a mesh? I dont want anything as complicated as a coloured gradient I just want a flat object to appear like a net. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks

Jules,
Depending on the shape, and upon the appearance (varying width and/or knotting or whatever), it may be anything from a Rectangular/Polar Grid (bundled with the Line Segment Tool) to something intricate and difficult.

How can 1 make an object of user defined class immutable?

Hi All,
How can one make an object of user defined class immutable?
Whats the implementation logic with strings as immutable?
Regards,

Hi All,
How can one make an object of user defined class
immutable?The simple answer is you can't. That is, you can't make the object itself immutable, but what you can do is make a wrapper so that the client never sees the object to begin with.
A classic example of a mutable class:
class MutableX {
    private String name = "None";
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
}I don't think it's possible to make this immutable, but you can create a wrapper that is:
class ImmutableX {
    private final MutableX wrappedInstance;
    public ImmutableX (String name) {
        wrappedInstance = new MutableX();
        wrappedInstance.setName(name);
    public String getName() {
        return wrappedInstance.getName();
    // Don't give them a way to set the name and never expose wrappedInstance.
}Of course, if you're asking how you can make your own class immutable then the simple answer is to not make any public or protected methods that can mutate it and don't expose any mutable members.
Whats the implementation logic with strings as
immutable?
Regards,I don't understand the question.

How can I make all my Smart Playlists sync onto my iPhone?

I recently updated my iTunes software to 10.6 or whatever the newest update was and since then, I have been unable to sync all my playlists onto my iPhone. The Top 25 Most Played, Recently Added, and 90s Music won't sync to my phone and I'm hoping someone can help me fix the problem. All the regular playlists are syncing just fine and 2 of the Smart Playlists I have are also syncing just fine. I've tried recreating the playlists but it still won't work. Any ideas?

I had the same issue. If they are selected in the Music tab, try duplicating, not just recreating, the playlist and deleting the old one. This worked for me and I have not had the issue again.

How can i make itunes alphabetize smart playlists with manual playlists...

...in the library panel on the left? its currently separated into two sections: smart, then manual. i want them alphabetized altogether, like previous versions of itunes did. i'm running 7.6.2 (9)

Don't think it's possible.
I'm running 7.42 and it sorts smart playlists first.

How can I make background objects in a template selectable

I have a Pages template with my signature embedded. It should move with the text but I cannot select it to make it do so.
Does anyone know how this can be done in the new Pages 5?

Thank you for the suggestions, Peter, but I'm afraid it doesn't work.
I guess I'll just wait for Apple to re-install this feature, and meanwhile revert to my older, perfectly reliable Pages 09.

How can I make an object appear to glow (produce it's own light)?

Can anyone help me with this? ex. make a plant glow like a lightning bug or things like a "light saber"? have tried lots of things but nothing looks realistic.

Hello! When something appears to glow, the glowing object will often appear high in value (i.e. close to white) with very little color, with a much more colorful halo around it. You will see this in the lightsaber effect, as well as neon signs, street lamps, and similar sorts of light sources.
To emulate this in Photoshop, here is an example of a yellow-orange light source glowing against a dark forest background, which could be a firefly or something like that.
I began with a stock image of a forest at night, and using an airbrush with white selected for the foreground color, painted a small circle on a transparent layer.
To indicate the color of the light, I selected the layer with the white circle on it, and clicked the Layer Effects button within the layers panel.
From the drop-down menu, I selected Color Overlay.
I chose a very saturated yellow, and turned the opacity down to around 23%. This shows the color of the light while keeping it close to white, indicating the brightness.
To show the glow, I chose Outer Glow from inside the Layer Effects panel. I chose a similar saturated yellow, set the blending mode to Screen, and set the opacity to around 80%.
And here is the final image. Is this similar to the effect you were going for?

How can I make an object float to the left or right?

I am currently working with a site that is designed to fill the browser window.
I would like my footer elements to attach to the left and right respectively. I know in html this can be accomplished by using "float", but I don't see any way to accomplish this in Muse.
Am I missing something?

Hi Skyler,
If you are looking for the element to remain on screen in same position at all times then I think using the 'pin' option is what you are looking for. With a box (or whatever) selected you'll see an option at the top, next to your x,y co-ordinates with a little square with 6 selectable points, each point representing where the element will stick to.
Alternatively if you are just wanting the bar of the footer to stretch across the window regardless of size then if you have the left of the bar exactly on the outside left edge of your page, and same with right, it should do the stretching for you automatically.
Is this what you were meaning?

How can i make it? (something like 'Feather effect')

Hi.
I get some object to other design company.
There is AI file in URL(illustrator CS3 version file)
http://www1.datafilehost.com/d/f873f882
it's looks like 'Feather effect'. but it's not.
it's not possible to copy to below Script code.
Sel[i].duplicate(newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
So i started wonder about it.
How can i make this object?
and, How can i copy this object to script code?
Thanks you.

ohh.. thank you for your reply. But, I found another problem.
Copy is not problem. Real problem is 'translate'.
I want copy and translate to right side.
my source code is :
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
var Sel = aDoc.selection;
var aLayer = aDoc.layers.add();
var newGroup = aLayer.groupItems.add();
Sel[0].duplicate(newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
newGroup.translate(10, 0);
this is capture image.
I did run script five times.
Object was translate. but circle was not translate.
And, i upload Appearance palette capture image too.
It's not image. It's Path.
If you Know solution, reply for me please.
thank you pixxxel.

How can I save a vector smart object to Illustrator .ai file

I need to save a vector smart oblect from Photoshop CS6 to an Illustrator file. What's the trick?
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
I need a vector smart logo that is on a PSD layer as a vector file in illustrator so I can plot cut on a vinyl cutter. How can I make sure the logo transfers as .ai at the exact size showen in the Photoshop document? I remember doiing this a few years ago but forgot the proceedure. It's probably a very easy step and once I have the answer I'll say "oh that's right I remember now" The export path to Ilustrator only gives me the saved paths in this document.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

HT204380 How can I make my iphone4 call my contact's email on her ipad and not her phone (which is not a smart phone) when both info is in my contact list

When I use my iphone4 to call a contact on her mini ipad it seems to use her phone number from my contact list and this is not a smart phone or in use where she is. How can I make my phone use the e-mail address to call her on her wifi connection.

pdroth wrote:
You're off base... I know what this problem is, and I provided the workaround for her.
Then why was the OP able to make the facetime calls before, with both items in a single contact then (if I am reading his posts correctly)? I know I do not have to separate my contacts like that, and I do facetime with a couple of relatives with wifi only iPads (usually from my own iPad 4 or MBP, but I've done it once or twice from my iPhone 5 - all of which use the exact same contact entries).
Is this a quirk specific to an iPhone 4?

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external HD from the mbp, I get the following pop up window: The disk "external hard drive A" couldn't be ejected because "Lightroom" is using it. Quit that application and try to eject this disk again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Select Catalog screen pops up but doesn't list my external hard drive A as a choice.
I've reviewed Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart Previews Lightroom 5 web page and still haven't been able to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Your internal HDD. by default, is named 'Macintosh HD'. From what information you supplied, it looks like there is already a Lightroom catalog installed on you local (internal) HDD using the standard naming convention Adobe uses as well as a Lightroom catalog on your external drive which you created. To be sure of which catalog Lightroom is loading when it starts up, To do this, start Lightroom as you normally would. After it starts, select the Lightroom menu item, then select the Catalog Preferences item and finally, navigate to the General tab. The Location information will tell you exactly what catalog Lightroom is opening by default. This will likely be the Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog on your external HDD. Once that is confirmed, you are ready to proceed. As an additional test/verification, you can shut down Lightroom and, this time, start Lightroom while holding down the ALT/OPTION key. This will cause Lightroom to pause and display a screen which will allow you to chose a different catalog to open. Navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file. When Lightroom comes up, there should be no previews or folders as this catalog should be empty. Now you can be certain which catalog is being used and which catalog has all your data and you are ready to migrate your current catalog. Shut down Lightroom.
To migrate your current catalog, use Finder to locate your Photography Mac Book Pro Versions folder on your external drive. Select the folder and select COPY from the context menu. Next, use Finder to navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder on you internal HDD. You can start at the Macintosh HD level and work your way down by opening each level (Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures). Select the /Pictures folder and then select PASTE... from the context menu. When the COPY/PASTE is complete, you should see the following files on the Macintosh HD:
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/ and
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions
The Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder will contain the empty default catalog the Adobe created when Lightroom was installed and Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions will contain a copy of the catalog you created on your external HDD.
You are almost done now. Make sure your external drive is still attached for this step. Restart Lightroom using the ALT/OPTION key again. When the Select Catalog screen appears, select the Choose a Different Catalog button (lower left side). When you do, a Finder window will open to allow you to navigate to a catalog of your choosing. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions and select the file Photography Mac Book Pro Version.lrcat. This is the copy you just created. Select the Open button and Lightroom should start. You should see all of your previews and settings just as before. Also, in the left hand panel, all of your folder should show up and none of them should be dimmed and none of your previews should display a small exclamation point badge. Either a dimmed folder name or an exclamation point badge indicates that Lightroom can't find the associated image file. If everything looks good, go to the Lightroom menu, select Preferences and then select the General tab. Under Default Catalog, select an option to either load the LAST catalog opened or select the Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog from the drop down. Shut down Lightroom and then restart it normally. This time, when Lightroom starts, you should be viewing the new copy of your catalog. You can confirm this by looking at the General tab on the Catalog Preferences screen (Lightroom/Catalog Preferences menu items). Shut down Lightroom once again and this time, eject your external drive before restarting. This time, your folders in the left hand panel will be dimmed but you should be able to work with your smart previews. If Lightroom should display a Select Catalog screen with the external drive detached, double check your settings as it indicates Lightroom is still looking at the copy of the catalog on the external drive rather than the new copy you made.
Finally, if you are seeing dimmed folders and/or exclamation point badges with the external drive attached, this indicates a problem. You can select any folder and select Update Folder Location from the context menu. This will allow you to navigate to the copy on the external drive and select it. Lightroom will then update the catalog (select to synchronize the content). This will not only clear the dimmed folder problem but also remove the exclamation point badges for all photos in that missing folder. However, it may indicate that not all went well with the copy of the catalog so make sure to verify all went well. You can use the Get Info option on the two folders. You should see the same number of files/folders for both the copy on the internal drive as well as on the external drive but you can't rely on the byte count because of the possibility of differences between the geometry of the two drives. Hope this all helps!

How can I make a button that on press the object appears and on second press the object to disappear

Hello,
I'm quite new to flash programing, and I don't know how can I make a button that will make the object appear and disappear.Till now I have this code for the appear:
on (press)
    _root.top1.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.topp.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.mm1.gotoAndStop(2);
          _root.m1.gotoAndStop(2);
but from here I'm stuck.
Thank you for your help

What you can do is use the _visible property of the object to make it appear and disappear, or more correctly, use the opoosite of the _visible property. You should not put code "on" objects, keep it in the timeline.
If "object" is the instance name of the object you want to toggle, then in the timeline code you can use...
object._visible = false; // start with the object being invisible
yourButtonName.onRelease = function(){
    object._visible = !object._visible;
That one line in the function sets the object's _visible property to be the opposite of what it currently is.
