How do you center an oval inside an oval CS5

I made an oval. Then I copies and pasted an oval. I selected the lower right had corner of the square around the oval. I drag the corner inward to keep it porportional (I hope this is correct) to the first oval. Now I want to center the smaller oval inside the larger oval. I want to have the distance the same all around the smaller oval. I then plan to type in the area between the two ovals.
thanks
Mike

You can also use a combination of SmartGuides and Rulers as well as default objects such as the Rectangle Tool which have Center Points to get the center once you apply the rulers using smart guides.

Close but no cigar. I just want to draw a one pixel oval but what I get now is a thick oval. How do I draw a simple line?

Wouldn't a one pixel oval be just a dot? Or are you meaning to say you want to draw an oval that has a one pixel wide edge?
If the latter, then select the oval marque tool, draw your oval, then stroke (edit> stroke) the selection with a one pixel stroke, using the color off your choice.
To draw a simple line:
• use the Pencil tool, set the thickness in the options bar. Click where you want the line to start, then move your mouse to where you want the line to stop and shift-click to draw a straight line to that end point. PS will connect the two points with the line. Or you can free hand the line - just click and draw.
• use the Path tool to draw your line, then pick your brush tool, set the pixel size, pick the color you want as your forground color, then in the Paths pallete drop down, select stroke path and pick the brush tool.
• use the Line tool, inside the shape tool box. Lots of options, just need to experiement.

How do you center text in a JOptionPane?

How do you center text in a JOptionPane?
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File(s) Moved Successfully","Finished", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

Instead of adding the string "File(s)...", create a
JPanel. Add your text as a JLabel to this JPanel
using the appropriate LayoutManager. Now add the
JPanel in place of "File(s)..." in the
showMesageDialog call.Or just use a JLabel, set its alignment to center and add the label instead of the string.

Hi drewdollar,
If you have Acrobat, you can use the Edit Text & Images tool on the Content Editing pane of the Tools panel. Just select Edit Text & Images, and then drag the image where you'd like it to appear on the page.

How do you center a popup on the screen?

My popups show on the bottom right of the screen. How do you center all contents of a popup on the screen?

Hi,
Did you try
myapp.BrowseClientSiteDocuments.ShowFilterPopup_Tap_execute = function (screen) {
// NOTE: If using JQuery Mobile 1.3 (or higher) use "popupcreate" rather than "popupbeforeposition"
$(window).one("popupcreate", function (e) {
$(e.target).popup({
positionTo: "window"
$(window).one("popupbeforeposition", function (e) {
e.target._mslsCustomPosition = undefined;
screen.showPopup("FilterPopup");

How do you install Camera Raw 8.3 to CS5 photoshop so I can open files? Thanks

CS5 does not support ACR 8.5, it only goes as far as 6.7.
You will need to convert your raw files to DNG format with the free converter. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html

How do you incorporate an ArrayList inside a ComboBox (GUI Project Help)?

Basically, I created a project around NBA Greats of Our Past. There is around 76 players so rather than typing all of them up in JCreator, how can you use an Arraylist to make things easier. I already created the spreadsheet on Excel with all the names. But the problem is that I don't know how to use them inside my ComboBox.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ComboBoxDemo extends JFrame {
     private String[] nbaGreats = {"Michael Jordan"};
     private ImageIcon[] nbaImage = {
          new ImageIcon("H:/jordan.jpeg")
     private String[] nbaDescription = new String[1];
     private DescriptionPanel descriptionPanel = new DescriptionPanel();
     private JComboBox jcbo = new JComboBox(nbaGreats);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          ComboBoxDemo frame = new ComboBoxDemo();
          frame.pack();
          frame.setTitle("NBA Greats");
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.setVisible(true);
     public ComboBoxDemo() {
          nbaDescription[0] = "(Included Yet, Description not Included Yet";
          setDisplay(0);
          add(jcbo, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          add(descriptionPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          jcbo.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
               public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
                    setDisplay(jcbo.getSelectedIndex());
     public void setDisplay(int index) {
          descriptionPanel.setTitle(nbaGreats[index]);
          descriptionPanel.setImageIcon(nbaImage[index]);
          descriptionPanel.setDescription(nbaDescription[index]);

Its a working example. The tutorial examplains the code in steps.
Any code we give you will be no different.
but it doesn't really help me because I don't understand itIf you have a specific question about the code from the demo then maybe we can help you, but "I don't understand it" is not a question.

How do I center an image inside a CSS div tag using dreamweaver?

I know this may seem like a very silly queston to ask because it should seem so simple but how do I do that? I am having trouble being able to center an image inside of a div tag. Here is the code I have come up with so far. Thanks in advance for your help.
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="PageContainer">
<div id="PageHeader"> img.centered{display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; }<img src="Untitled-5.jpg" alt="rowland" class="centered" /></div>
<div id="PageMenu">Content for id "PageHeader" Goes Here</div>
<div id="PageBody">Content for id "PageHeader" Goes Here</div>
<div id="PageFooter">Content for id "PageHeader" Goes Here</div>
</body>
</html>
Also you can ignore the other div tags after the first div id. The first div id that has my image link is the one I am trying to get to center my image. The image is in there just not centering.

Stru,
You posted your question in the Pages (word processor) discussion area. Hope you can find your way back to Excel without any difficulty. The answer wouldn't have been much different had you posted in the Numbers discussion.

How do you move brushes/actions from CS4 to CS5?

Hi. I've been using Photoshop CS4 Extended and have a ton of actions, styles, brushes, and other custom settings that I'd like to now import into CS5 Extended. Is there a tool for doing this? If not, how do you manually accomplish this task? Thanks.

It depends which folder you assigned them to,but as an example: Program Files > Adobe > Photoshop CS4 > Presets > Brushes
Select your custom brush sets using the Shift arrow keys or Ctrl-click with your mouse to select the sets that are scattered.
Ctrl-C to copy
Open the CS5 presets > Brushes folder from there and use Ctrl - v to paste the sets into that folder.
The best suggestion I have heard so far is to keep a seperate Presets folder for custom stuff in the Adobe folder and simply load them from the Brushes, Actions and Styles menu.
That way you can get at them no matter the version of CS.

How do you center a title's anchor point?

I'm sure this is a simple question but I can't find anything in the forums that answer it.
I have a text title I want to center in the frame (horizontally and vertically, with text center aligned), but for some reason the guides seem to be wrong. The yellow lines don't meet at the center of the frame, they meet at another point that seems to change randomly. And the round handle (anchor point?) of the text box appears on the first line of text, rather than the vertical center of the text box. How do I reset this or change it? It says my anchor points are at x 0 y 0, but that doesn't look right. All I want to do is center all my text boxes (both horizontally and vertically) within the frame. I hope this makes sense. Please see images. Thanks!

Are you sure that your settings in Video Inspector - Transform - Position x = 0, y = 0 and not something else?
I don't think you can set the move handle to be other than under the first line.

How do you center dialogs with multiple monitors. code, best practices

My existing code will take the pixel size of the java app, and using the size of the dialog, it will center dialogs perfectly in the center of the application. This is great for single monitors, but when multiple monitors are introduced it is a problem. With dual monitor, the dialog is split in half between the two monitors.
I should be able to determine which pixel/frame initiated the user's action; and then i am hoping to get some code or direction on:
1. how to determine which monitor the user initiated the action on (knowing the px or frame location, how would i do this)
2. how to center dialog on that monitor
if possible, it would be appreciated if you can provide some code; i cant find anything on determing pixel size of monitors and this seems to be a little bit of a project to do from scratch. open source, 3rd party, insight, guidance, all is appreciated. thanks !

This code may help:

        dialog.setLocation(x, y);

How do you center in QT 7

I have a video playing and a larger jpeg behind it in another track, which I want to composite together via a "save as." The problem is the video is not centered on the jpeg. It is to the left. In QT 6 that was easy: You could just drag your video to position it, via a red box that would form around the video.
QT 7 doesn't seem to have a way to do that. It's like that feature has been removed. Anyone know how to center a smaller video within a backdrop of a larger jpeg? As I mentioned, in QT 6 this was easy.

Oh, I see. You get the movie properties window, and mess around by adding numbers in the "offset" boxes. That worked. I had to make sure the video track was selected. I inched it over by adding "70" in the first box.
