How do I input a specific color value for a shape?

I've been trying to figure out why I cannot input a specific color that I want for a shape. I'm not just choosing a color that looks nice, I'm trying to match it to a solid color in the next clip. Ive tried to use the eye dropper to get the color from the next clip but I cannot copy anything outside of the color pallete provided. I know the value of the color (from 0-255 it's R:191, G:211, B:217) but all FCPX has is 0 - 1, which is some other kind of color value system I've never seen before. Does anyone know how I can put that specific color value into the shape generator?

Click the color swatch to open the Apple color picker. This is common to all Mac apps.
Click the second tab for color sliders. Change the popup to RGB.

How to avoid the Amount and Date values for VOID Cheques

Hi All,
I had created a two window i.e For Amount and Date. If I process the cheque the Amount value and Date should not trigger for VOID CHEQUES.
Can any one tel me how to avoid the Amount and Date values for VOID Cheques
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Yathish

Hi,
I dont know which tablel you are referring to, is it PAYR table and the field VOIDR?
If a cheque is voided, it would have a reason and it is stored in VOIDR field of this PAYR table.
Check if the field VOIDR is filled, if it is filled, do not print the amount and date.

Read color values for swatches in InDesign CS5, js

Hi,
I need to read color values for swatches. I got this in OMV and was hoping it would give me an array of the color values for all existing swatches, but I am only getting "Object color":
mySwatches = myDoc.swatches[1].getElements();
alert (mySwatches)
Thank you for your help.
Yulia

Hi Yulia,
Try this:
var
    mD = app.activeDocument, // document
    mS = mD.swatches, // document swatches
    gS = 4, // swatch index
    mC = [mS[gS].name, mS[gS].colorValue, mS[gS].space]; // swatch properties
alert(mC.join("\r"));
Hope that helps.

What are the color values for imessage and send buttons?

I am trying to paint my room. Does anyone know the specific colors of the 'imessage bubble' or the 'send' button on the iPhone, iPad, iTouch. The RGB or Hexidecimal values would work. Thanks!

Use the DigitalColor Meter app located in your utilities folder. This will allow you to hover over areas of your screen and it will display whatever type of values you want it to.
Translating this into a paint chip number at the hardware store might be a bit of an issue though. There is no method (at least that I'm aware of) to translate computer color codes to paint swatches.

How to hide RTPs and Specify Fix value for them

Hi All,
I created a business in which i am using one variable of String type with RTP enabled.
Now i don't want my user to enter this value while executing business rule, instead i want to provide a fix/constant value for that variable. How can i do that.
Basically my intention is to put that business rule inside a rule twice with 2 diff values

Have you tried setting the variable as a member type, applying it against a dimension and then giving it a default value.
Cheers

How do I change the "gray" color selection for icons in Finder to brown?

Is there a way to change the selection of colors offered by the dropdown File menu for desktop and folder icons? I use a lot of color coding for the files and folders in my windows, and gray just looks like "dimmed out" to me.
I know how to get the color wheel in Microsoft Word (or the crayolas, or whatever). Is there a way to do that for Finder as well, without a lot of technical talk (ranges, percentages, etc.) that I can't understand? Thanks for any help out there!

Grey is not the only color showing up.
If you want more colors other than the ones found in Finder, you will need to use a 3rd party product. Something like CandyBar will do the trick or download colorful folders and icons. These softwares can be found on MacUpdate and by doing a Google search.

How to display texts automatic. besides entered value for a field in Trans.

How to display texts automatically besides the entered value for a field in a standard transaction screen. For example you have a value table and a text table associated to it. Then on entering the value field and pressing enter the text associated should get displayed immediately besides the value. Like if you have 'LOC' as the value and 'Location' as the text associated to it, on entering this value 'LOC', you automatically get the text 'Location' printed besides it automatically in a transaction screen ?

Hi sarika,
Welcome to SDN.
1. first of all, such display of text,
   is not automatic.
   (it appears to be automatic)
2. At design time,
   a) take one extra field for text
     and mark it as OUTPUT ONLY
3. Then in PBO coding,
    call some module, and in that module
    write code
4. The code should be to
   select from TEXT Table
   into the work area.
EG. THE SCREEN TEXT FIELD NAME IS
T510A-FIELDNAME.
CLEAR t510a.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t510a INTO t510a
WHERE trfar = FIELVALUE.
5. This will take care of
   displaying the text value of that field.

amit m.

How can I compute a very precise value for e?

So I've been looking around for a good algorithm to compute a very precise value for e. All the algorithms I've found all use a derivative of the old summation from 1->n of 1/n!. And this is accurate, however I need to calculate e out to several thousand decimal places and you simply cannot accuratly represent something of that precision with a common floating point variable.
Basically what I need is a method to seqentially calculate one decimal place at a time, or some kind of spigot algorithm where I can calculate a single nth decimal place. I've tried googling and searching these forums without any luck. I know there are spigot algorithms for PI and that there are ways to relate PI to e so maybe I'll have to use a combination of those. Anyone got any ideas?

No it is not at all difficult to find the prime. And forgive me for being overly terse and jumping to conclusions in my posts. If I am wrong in my assumptions, I apologize. For thoses of you that are not following any of this, here is the back story:
I read in the newspaper yesterday that someone had placed a billboard ad that was a puzzle somewhere in sillicon valley specifing something like
[the first 10 consecutive digits in the decimal expansion of e that form a prime].com
I don't live in California and have not seen the ad and may have mis quoted it.
The article went on to say that Google had placed the ad, and that if you get the proper number and type it in you get to page that lists another puzzle. If you follow the chain of puzzles to the end you get an invite to submit a resume to Google.
I look at the forms this morning and find a post from someone that was thinking about needing e out to a large number of digits. When a practical method was suggested in the reply the OP points out that this is not for some "practical" purpose but for some "theoretical" purpose. I jumped to the conclusion that this was someone that wanted to solve the puzzle but didn't want to work to hard to do it.
My comments that the first 10 digit prime is 99 digits into the expansion it quite possibly irrelevant to the OPs original question. If there was some other "theoretical" purpose that requires some 800 Million digits of e, I apologize for my assumptions.
On the other hand if the OP just wanted to solve the Google puzzle, why not come clean, admit it, and tell us the problem that you want to solve rather than beating around the bush with nonsense about needing an algorithm that pops out the nth digit of e. I've already given you the spoiler of where it is in the expansion of e, If you want the rest of the spoiler, like what the digits are, and what the answer to the next question is as well, just ask.
Here is the BigInt Code
    BigInteger fac = BigInteger.ONE;
    BigInteger n = BigInteger.ONE;
    BigInteger scale =(new BigInteger("10")).pow(200);
    acc = scale; // this is the n=0 term because 0!=1
    int numTerms = 0;
    boolean done = false;
    while(!done){
      BigInteger nextTerm = scale.divide(fac);
      acc = acc.add(nextTerm);
      numTerms++;
      if (nextTerm.equals(BigInteger.ZERO)) done = true;
      //System.out.println(numTerms+":fac"+fac);
      n = n.add(BigInteger.ONE);
      fac = fac.multiply(n);
    System.out.println("Number of terms:" + numTerms);
    System.out.println("e to about 200 digits:" + acc);Go nuts!

How to use JavaScript to supply a value for a MessageTextInput field

With the text attribute you can supply a deafult value for text field. Is it possible to supply this field with a default value determined by javascript ?
<messageTextInput name="startDate" text="..." ...

Marcel,
If you want to dynamically set a value for a text field, there are two approaches you can use:
1. use javascript (the browser language) and then for your <body> element's onload handler, invoke a javascript method that sets your form value.
2. use java (the compiled language) and databind the "text" attribute of messageTextInput to a dataobject that gives the current date. If all you're looking to do is bind to the current date, I'd recommend this approach.
Hope this helps,
Ryan

How to set an image pattern as backround for a Shape + Copy shapes

1.)
Is there any way to set an image as background for a geometry shape (eg. Shapes.AddTriangle) similar like setting a 'Brush#' as background with LDShapes.BrushGradientShape ??
In the image below, eg. the yellow triangle is a rectangular image shape with transparent regions, and therefor can with 'LDShapes.GetAllShapesAt(mouseX,mouseY)'
also be accessed/grabbed in its transp. regions eg. green or red points etc., etc, aso.. and not only in the filled 3angular area, while a real 3angular geometry shape (like on the left side) would NOT (here only
inside the triangle area itself). I tried 'LDShapes.SetImage' but this is for image shapes/controls and did'nt work here.
Or maybe anyone has a better solution for a more natural looking wooden 'Brush' (as alternative for a real triangle shape with gradient).
2.)
Is there a way to copy an existing shape/control (with its basic properties like color, text, size, vertices count, ..) to another, like LDImage.Copy does for images ??
eg. i can simply copy an array and an image from one variable to an other variable, like
' arr1 copied to arr2
arr1 = "1=1;2=2;3=4;4=8;5=16;6=32;"
arr2 = arr1
TextWindow.WriteLine(arr2)
TextWindow.WriteLine(arr1)
or
' img1 copied to img2 (ImageList1)
GraphicsWindow.Show()
img1 = ImageList.LoadImage("picPath")
img2 = img1
GraphicsWindow.DrawImage(img2,50,50)
GraphicsWindow.DrawImage(img1,200,200)
but following does'nt work
' Ellipse1/Text1/Image1/Button1/... is just an object with two names: shp1 and shp2
GraphicsWindow.Show()
shp1 = Shapes.AddEllipse(10,10) 'or Shapes.AddText("ABC") or Shapes.AddImage("picPath") or Controls.AddButton("Demo",0,0)
Shapes.Move(shp1, 100,100)
shp2 = shp1
Shapes.Move(shp2, 50,50)
Shapes.Move(shp1, 200,200)
Not so important (only for interest), but maybe anyone has a trick for this, to copy such objects instead of creating them new.

Yep, that made the rest of my whole day!! Works excelllent in the demo, and i'm just replacing all the Image<->Triangle commands. Wonderfulll & thanks a lot, LitDev. (enjoint the sb sample in your Test-DL :-))
PS:
Controls.SetTextBoxText(Controls.AddTextBox(10,10), "Enter your name here...")
Controls.AddButton(".. then press the Button", 180,10)
LDGraphicsWindow.Capture("","")
GraphicsWindow.Clear()
GraphicsWindow.DrawImage("ImageList1", 0,0)

How can I grab a specific integer value from iTunes Current Album?

Currently I'm working with these two bits of code:
This returns the "album" value from the track current playing in iTunes.
on run
    set info to ""
    tell application "System Events"
        set num to count (every process whose name is "iTunes")
    end tell
    if num > 0 then
        tell application "iTunes"
            if player state is playing then
                set albumName to (get album of current track)
            end if
        end tell
    end if
    return albumName
end run
This brings up the the site I am working with (not the real site).
tell application "Firefox" to activate
tell application "Firefox"
    open location "http://google.com/"
end tell
Assuming all albums are formatted:
"XXXX[year]-XX[month]-XX[day]" = 10 numbers
How can I grab the first the first 10 numbers of the "Album" value? Eventually I want to figure out how to grab them then append them to the end of a URL to streamline functionality with a fan site. Thanks for any assistance!

The 'return' within the run handler is going to stop the first script. How are you trying to get that data to the second script?
If they're the same script just put the data into a variable and append it to the URL. This simplified script shows the principle:
on run
          tell application "iTunes"
                    if player state is playing then
                              set albumName to (get album of current track)
                    end if
          end tell
          set theDateString to text 1 thru 10 of albumName as text
          tell application "Firefox"
                    open location "http://bandsname.com/" & theDateString
          end tell
end run

How to find the CMYK,RGB color value in Illustrator CS3

Hi,
I want to find the color space of an raster item. I can able to get its color space using
app.activeDocument.rasterItems[0].imageColorSpace
if i found it To be CMYK color space, i need to find its value to know which color is present in the document.
Thanks in advance,
Poovili

People have asked that before & I don't actually know. It seems pretty likely it's in the SDK somewhere though. I'd try searching the API folder for phrases that might relate to this and then investigate.

hI kiran,
The simple way is to create a data element & domain with value range where u provide set of fixed values or provide a check table to it.
Use that data element in a table <ztable>.
Code:
Parameters:
p_burks like <ztable>-dataelement.
Call Function <function_name>
exporting
p_burks = p_burks,
