How do I get transparency in my mesh gradient?

I'm trying to create a simple mesh gradient that fades from white in the middle to transparent on the outside. But as soon as I touch any node of my transparent (just unfilled, not 0% opacity) shape with the mesh tool, the entire shape fills with 100% opaque color and won't allow transparency. How do I make the outer nodes transparent/unfilled again? Clicking the "no" slash in the color palette doesn't do anything, and the transparency palette only applies transparency to the entire shape, not individual nodes. Do I have to make a black-and-white mesh gradient as an opacity mask?

You did not mention which version your using or OS.
So I am not sure if this is different in earlier versions.
Select the point on the mesh and instead of selecting a color fron the color swatches, at the top of the screen you should see opacity and a percentage. just drag it to 0 for 100% transparency.

How can I get transparency on a Zoom?

Captivate 3
Windows XP Pro
I'm trying to use the Zoom Area tool to to move an image from one area of the screen to another. If I insert a transparent GIF or PNG as a static image, the image is legitimately transparent. When I select that same image for the zoom, it ignores the transparency and adds a solid background. Does anyone know of a good way to retain the images transparent background? File format? Nifty trick in Captivate?
Thanks,
Marty

Hi there
Sorry, but I don't believe this is possible to achieve. If so, I've never seen it. You might be able to accomplish it by creating a widget or gizmo in Flash that moves the image, then drop that into Captivate. But that's about the only way I can fathom it would happen.
You should also consider reporting it as a desired feature. I'm not sure I'd classify it as a bug, but it may be.
Cheers... Rick

How get transparent index for indexed image?

Hello,
In my fileformat plugin on writing I can't get transparent
color for indexed image. For RGB
image I got transparent data from alfa channel in data of FormatRecord.
The FormatRecord structure has value
transparentIndex (for GIF), but it always =0
(even, if in the image transparent index=12, for example).
How can I get transparent index? Or, if it possible, how get transparent
data for indexed image in alfa channel?

How do I create transparent text with gradient stroke?

I'm creating text that will be printed on a deep gray to black tshirt.
I created text, added an offset path to it with a gradient, and a deep gray color fill on top, achieving the gradient stroke. However, I'm not exactly sure what color the shirt itself will be, other than deep gray to black. And I didn't want the deep gray/black fill in my text to appear and look awkward on the shirt. Unless that is something I shouldn't be considered about.
To be safe, how would you create transparent text with a gradient stroke? I'm using Illustrator CS5.

aimsrandom,
Based on a guess that you wish to have the stroke fade into the basic tshirt colour, you may use transparency rather than colour.
But the transparent text in the headline raises a few questions.
No fill colour for the Type/text, or different fill and (basic) stroke colour, or?

How can I get vertex colors on a mesh to work properly on a PDF 3D

Hi everyone,
I am working with GeoMagic Wrap 2013, a software for modelling meshes.
I digitalize objects through a 3d scanner.
The Scanner can digitalize objects, generating a mesh, either with .stl or .obj extensions.
.Obj is useful because you can retain the original color of the object you are acquiring when getting the mesh.
What Wrap 2013 let me do, among other functionalities, is to export the mesh in the .pdf format as a PDF 3D.
The issue is that what i see in Wrap 2013 is this:
but what i get when i export them in PDF 3D is this:
which is unconvenient because the point of this is to provide a potential client with a fully rotatable and zoomable preview of a product he/she is interested in.
How can i get the original colors to render properly on a PDF 3D?
Thank you

Thanks Dave,
I am not so technical about the subject but what you are saying (and what is written on the topic you liked above), is that is not possible to achieve the result i'd like with my model using PDF 3D?
What is quite annoying is that many mesh modelling softwares now provide PDF3D export service but practically forcing you to use uniformed colors that are really not suitable for certain use... you can't have a model with the original (or vertex more in general) colors...
That would be really a pity to say the least, especially considering that after some work time i can have really nice looking models within my sofware and no way to present it to the client except some really "flat" photos :/

How do I get a transparent background on the down level stage?

How do I get a transparent background on the down level stage?

I haven't tested this, but in your xxx_edge.js file, it looks like the stage background color is set here:
states: {
      "Base State": {
         "${_Stage}": [
            ["color", "background-color", 'rgba(255,255,255,1)'],
            ["style", "overflow", 'hidden'],
            ["style", "height", '400px'],
            ["style", "width", '550px']
Try changing the last value in the rgba value from 1 to 0.
Let us know how it goes!

Hi ViswAmmu,
>>Please help me out to get transparency for path in canvas to view background image in canvas.
If I'm not misunderstanding, I think you just need to loop through all Canvas.Children and set Opacity property for them:
private void Image_MouseLeftButtonDown_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
//Loop through all children items
foreach(UIElement v in CanvasPanel.Children)
v.Opacity = 0;
op.Title = "Select a picture";
op.Filter = "All supported graphics|*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png|" +
"JPEG (*.jpg;*.jpeg)|*.jpg;*.jpeg|" +
"Portable Network Graphic (*.png)|*.png";
if (op.ShowDialog() == true)
ib.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(op.FileName));
imgBackground.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(op.FileName));
CanvasPanel.Background = ib;

TS1702 My cars 2 app mate app is not working after upgrading from ipad to ipad 2...... synced.... uninstalled and re installed several times as well as wiped ne ipad out and re did the whole proccess several times. how can I get this app working?

I have installed the cars 2 app mate on a ipad 2 from an ipad 1 synced with itunes account.. all is working except this app. After many times of un installing and re installing aswell as talking to apple tech suport this app is still not working.... its there it just has no function...... how can i get this installed and working, my grandson is autistic and uses this app many hours a day........ it is important for me to get this up and running again for him.......

(1) So, I found a youtube video showing how to open up my iMac and replace a Disk drive. I opened it. I removed the disk drive. I opened the metal cover of the lid of the disk drive. It was clean and immaculate; so, it destroyed and debunked the dirty drive theory. But, just to make sure I sucked around the optical sensor with a vacuum and gently brushed it with a Q-tip.
(2) I then watched a you tube video showing how the drive operated (it was a drive supplied with power outside an iMac with a transparent cover unlike the opaque metal cover that we have on our drives). My scientific curiosity started to wonder if somehow the mechanical part (of the electro-mechanical assembly) was locked or jammed. So, I started messing with the arms with the utmost care after watching the video to see if i could move them manually. Yes on some. The main arm that is linked with the drive motor was immovable. The rest I played with a little bit, took great notice in the start of the video to see how the arms looked before inserting a disk. I then put it all back together.
It works now. My guess is that taking it out and then placing it back in along with the resetting options that others have done was the trick. I believe it is a possibility that the hard drive became locked mechanically in some strange manner after ejecting a DVD in conjunction with the uploading of the new OS. I believe the actual removal, reinstallation, and resetting of the drive put everything back into sync. My computer sits in a climate controlled dust free environment. I knew for a fact that this hard drive was OKAY.

In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
From Ian in Paris, France

I worked it out.
Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
Go to your HD.
Go to Users.
Go to your House (home)
there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
Go to Mail in this folder
The next folder ( for me ) is V2
Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
Best wishes.

How do I get rid of jagged, pixelated halo around type in Dreamweaver?

Dear Dreamweaver Forum,
I am studying the essential series of video tutorials on Dreamweaver CS3 via Lynda.com.
I am also currently, slowly but surely, putting together a website to function as a resume, cover letter and portfolio all in one.
I am currently in the middle of creating headings and images that will function as rollover buttons.
I currently have a problem with a jagged or pixilated halo appearing around type I'm creating in Illustrator CS3 and placing into Dreamweaver CS3.
The process I’m using so far is the following:
In Dreamweaver CS3, I’m using div tags. I will place a div tag on a page. I will then move it to the desired location on the page and size it to my needs.
I then take .gif file of type I created in Illustrator CS3 and drag it from the files panel and to the web page I’m working on. When I do this, I notice a halo around the type (please see inserted image below).
How do I get rid of this jagged or pixilated halo?
I created the type in Illustrator CS3 and then go File > Save for Web and Devices. In the 4-up dialog box that appears, I then save the type as a .gif file.
Please see images below:
Thanks for your help!

How do I get rid of this jagged or pixilated halo?
Don't use transparency! GIF and 8bit PNG only allow one transparent color, resulting in frizzled edges with antialiased content. If you know the type goes on a black background, save it with a black background....

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook, I also have an Exchange calender on outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 /6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar. How can I get Itunes to see both calendars

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook 2010, I also have an Exchange calender on Outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 / 6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar.
How can I get Itunes to see both calendars?

Hi,
you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
If you hit a snag talk back to me.
Cheers.

How to delete the transparent frames that Pluraleyes adds to replaced audio clips in an event ?

Hi there,
I have a workflow issue working with Pluraleyes 3 and FCPX.
MY CONTEXT
So I imported all my clips into FCPX (about 300 from camera 1, about 300 from camera 2 and separate audio which ran almost with only very few interruptions on set).
I synced everything with PE which gives me back the following :
1. a new Event with replaced audio clips.
2. a new Event with one giant multicam clip.
3. a new project completely synced BUT with the non-replaced audio clips
MY PROBLEMS
1. Problem is that the clips have additional transparent frames before and after their actual video (i.e. PE makes new clips from video and longer bits of audio that do not begin/end at the same time).
2. The giant multicam clip has plenty of chunks where audio was recorded but where no video was.
MY QUESTIONS
PE has created plenty of useless clip lengths. How can I get rid of them with some batch process ?
OR if I say that another way
How can I create an EVENT that contains clips with the exact same length as the originals, only with the corresponding audio replaced ? (Please remind that I have LOTS of clips)
Moreover, the clips within the new events created by PE have (not surprisingly) lost all keywords I gave to the clips before syncing with PE. Is there any way to fix this ?
Thank you so much because it feels like PE's job is kinda useless :-/

It's the Shift key. It's not a button. It's shifts from lower case to upper case when typing. It's been called the Shift key since the 19th century.

How can I get a click box to interact with a text entry box on the same page?

I'm creating a tutorial on using a specific system and trying to recreate what the end user would actual do in the system. On one slide, the end user must enter text into a field, then press a button (click box) to advance to the next slide. I want to be able to have the click box validate if the text entry is correct before advancing to the next slide. Is there a way to get the click box to validate the text entry? Not sure how to get the two objects to "talk" to each other rather than function independently.
Literally, I want the end user to enter the data in the text entry box, then click on the Get button. I need the Get button (click box) to both validate that the data entered in the text entry box is correct and, if it is, advance to the next slide. If the data is incorrect, I need the Get button (click box) to show the failure caption and have the end user re-enter the data correctly.
How do I get the objects to work together?

Hi there
You need to delete the Click Box. Yes, you heard me. Delete the puppy.
I know it sounds weird. But bear with me. After you delete it, double-click the Text Entry Box. Then click the Options tab. See that option called Show Button? Click it and click OK to dismiss the TEB properties.
Now you have the button you want. If you don't want a button, double-click it and set it as transparent. Remove the text. Position as desired where the Click Box was before.
Cheers... Rick
