How to sample one color from gradient

I have an object in Illustrator CC that has a gradient applied to it. I would like to use the eyedropper tool to sample just one color selected from a specific point in the gradient but when I click on the object with the eyedropper the whole gradient is picked up.
How to I sample just one point in a gradient?
I looked at my eyedropper preferences. Everything is checked. I didn't see an option that would let me do what I wanted.
Any suggestions?
Phil

Yeah I sure did try, but unfortunately I believe it's a limitation of the operating system. Windows on Windows OS like to be contained within the window area. In this case, illustrator loses focus of the cursor when you leave the window borders. I was hoping you were on Windows and had a way around it.

Sample a color from gradient

Hi guys,
1 - How do i sample a color from a gradient in a text? Here is the sample
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1TDDZ2kv0TRFDgJ1nNqSVQm25lapV
I keep getting a white circle, like the color is not there. I put a gradient in a circle following this tutorial,
http://vectips.com/tutorials/quick-tutorial-adding-gradients-to-text/
maybe is ok to place the gradient inside the text but then i cannot sample color. How can i do it?
2 - How can i make a beautiful gradient/layer effect like this logo?

Thanks for any info!
Cheers,
S.-

And another way is to simply create a normal blend from 2 rectangles, with your choice of start and end colors from your swatches. The same ones you used in your gradient. This creates a color ramp with as many complimentary blends as you need. In my illustration I used 25.
Now, choose Menu -> Object -> Expand, say OK to the dialog. You can now use the Eyedropper tool to select the colors you would like to add to your swatches. Move the blend outside of the Artboard for future use, or delete it when finished.
TIP: if you want only a certain subset of colors, ungroup the blend after expanding it, choose the colors you want (or all), and then in the swatches pallette, from the top right drop down menu, choose "Add Selected Colors".
Menu -> Object -> Blend Options: choose your steps, then choose Menu -> Object -> Blend -> Make, or Cmd-Alt-B/Ctr-Alt-B
SORRY -- The graphic should say "25 Steps"... I changed it, which you can too, by going back to the Blend Options dialog. Check Preview to see what you're doing, and actually fit the blend directly under your chosen dot over the "i".

How to refer one view from another view?

Hi,
I have 2 views in my Adobe Flash Builder mobile app. I need to refer the first view in my second view.
How to refer one view from another view? Or how to create a reference to a view wherever needed?

I don't need any data from my first view. In a certain flow, I need to make my first view to be invisible.
for eg., My First view is in portrait mode. I change the device to Landscape. In the landscape mode, I want to show a completely different view (second view).
In this case, what happens is, I see my first view in Landscape mode for a second. Then the second view appears. When I change to Landscape mode, only the second view should be seen. I need to make my first view to be completely invisible in the OnOrientationChanging event of
StageOrientationEvent
As stage object and StageOrientationEvent works at application level, I need to know how to refer my first view object in the application level.
private function onOrientationChanging(soe:StageOrientationEvent):void
MyFirstView.Visible = False; ====> don't know how to refer MyFirstView here
Is my question clear now?

How to restore one table from the previous backup in 9.2.0.8 version.

Hi,
How to restore one table from the previous backup in 9.2.0.8 version.
Thanks
-Ganga

Hi,
What is the table you want to restore?
Using export/import is supported with Oracle Apps database (for full database exp/imp, and certain schemas like custom ones). For the Apps schema, I believe it is not supported due to object dependencies and integrity constraints.

How to make one dvd from several camcoder dvd's

How to make one dvd from several camcoder dvd's. I got a dvd camcoder, to be able to play them into DVD player I had to finalize my disks. Now I got several DVD's whith short files and terrible custom camera menu. I'd like to make it more presentable.
The main problem is I dont want to recode my vob files. So Final Cut and other editing soft is bad idea.
Is there any soft on mac I could reauthor my DVD's?

How to get one value from multiple duplication for a key figure field

Hi expert,
      I have a infoprovider, with following format:
        employee     hourly_rate   action_type count of action
     there are multiple rows for each employee, I want to create query as follows:
        employee     hourly_rate   action_type count of action
     in which hourly_rate is constant , only retriving one value from multiple rows for one employee, count of action should be summarized.
how to get this hourly_rate.
Many Thanks,

Hi,
put the employee in rows panel -> reaming object put it in free char panel.
suppress the all result rows for the all object except employee .
select the object -> go to query properties -> select display tab -> select result rows -> select suppress.
select the employee -> go to query properties -> select display tab -> select result rows -> select always display. - now it will give employee wise hourly rate summarize data.
Thanks,
Phani.

How to prevent one application from touching the in use Environment?

Hi, all,
I have an application opening an Environment and using it well. However, this application may have multiple instance in our system. Once another instance touches the environment it will destroy the former's environment.
My question is how to detect one environment which located in a fixed directory is being in use? If we could detect this, we can prevent the latter instance from touching the environment then.
Thanks in advance.

There are DB_CREATE and DB_EXCL flags for DB_ENV->open function, if you specify the OR of them both, you will get what you want: only create the environment if it is not created.
On the other hand, multiple applications can join the same db environment if their configuration to the environment is compatible; if you are sharing an environment handle, use DB_THREAD in DB_ENV->open, see this for using Berkeley DB in multi-threads: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/program/mt.html

How to update one table from another

I am creating scripts in Oracle 10g. I have a table that has data corruption on three date fields.
I created a table with the following sql of all the affected rows:
CREATE TABLE LSU_INTER_FIX_DATE AS
select request_id,received_date,planned_start_date, actual_start_date
from lsu_inter2_requests_t
where received_date < to_date('01-JAN-1900')
OR planned_start_date < to_date('01-JAN-1900')
OR actual_start_date < to_date('01-JAN-1900')
I then repaired all of the rows with three data fixes
UPDATE LSU_INTER_FIX_DATE
SET received_date = TO_CHAR(received_date,'YY-MON') ||'-'||(TO_CHAR(received_date,'RRRR') + 2000)
where received_date < to_date('01-JAN-1900')
UPDATE LSU_INTER_FIX_DATE
SET planned_start_date = TO_CHAR(planned_start_date,'YY-MON') ||'-'||(TO_CHAR(planned_start_date,'RRRR') + 2000)
where planned_start_date < to_date('01-JAN-1900')
UPDATE LSU_INTER_FIX_DATE
SET actual_start_date = TO_CHAR(actual_start_date,'YY-MON') ||'-'||(TO_CHAR(actual_start_date,'RRRR') + 2000)
where actual_start_date < to_date('01-JAN-1900')
I now want to update the original base table with the corrected data so I wrote the following SQL UPDATE command:
UPDATE lsu_inter2_requests_t aaa
SET aaa.received_date = bbb.received_date
FROM LSU_INTER_FIX_DATE bbb WHERE aaa.request_id = bbb.request_id
When I run this sql Oracle returns the error “ORA-00933 SQL command not properly ended.” How do I update multiple rows in one table from another table that share the same primary key?

where received_date < to_date('01-JAN-1900')
When you want to produce a DATE datatype when starting with a string,
you must use TO_DATE() on the SET line!
(TO_CHAR(received_date,'RRRR') + 2000)since when do you do add characters (from TO_CHAR) with a constant number (2000)?
You should NEVER EVER rely on implicit datatype conversion

How to call one .SWF from another?

How do I call one .SWF from another. I built a very beefy
base .SWF, and want to add music overlay, and an intro slide show
to the exsting Flash animation, but put it in a second .FLA/.SWF
file. How do I call one from the other?
This will be embedded in an HTML file but I assume this is
superfluous to my question.
F.Z.

I think you should open that Another SWF (FLA),
and add some actionscript..
For example, you could create a movie clip, and write
actionscript in the
first keyframe:
loadMovie("
http://www.somewebpage.com/movie.swf",
this);

How do I remove colors from the Tools Palette

Hi,
I recently defined two custom colors (blue and green) that were required for our brand representation (I am using Unstructured FM 8). I used the RGB values that Marketing provided to obtain these colors. For some reason, I now have the entire RGB blue and green libraries displayed in my Set Color option of the Tools Palette.
Is there a way to remove these standard RGB libraries while keeping my custom color definitions?
Thank you,
Miruna

the »Indexed color efficiencies« came from way back when the Net was a number of very thin electronic pipes connected to each other.
You're replying to someone who recalls full page 300 dpi TIFFs taking 30 minutes just to display for text overlay in Frame 3.1.
It is a long time I heard someone complaining about image files larger than 32k. but of course, FrameMaker should handle them OK!
Frame handles large images with ease. I've generated PostScript files of 1GB. The issue is what size PDF they distill to.
We render to PDF at the same resolutions for both publishing and web (200 dpi contone, 600 bitmap). Multiple dozen large images can easily make a final document PDF that is too large for practical web use. Our general rule is that if a single image adds more than 250 KB to the final PDF, we take steps.
I often have to deal with dense vector objects that are well over 5MB as raw EPS. I routinely save a convenience browsing PDF of each image, and if it's over 250K, the image gets attention.
For B&W line art, flattening to 600 dpi dithered bitmap in Photoshop usually suffices, but rasterizing to contone does not, because our workflow passes 600 dpi "bitmap", but subsamples "color" and "gray" to 200 dpi.
I had this one vector-overload externally sourced image where I needed just a touch of one color. I was hoping that indexed color (e.g. GIF) might be the solution, but Distiller downsampled it anyway. Some of the indexed color tests, as I recall, but cannot now re-create, also polluted the color pallete.
The work-around, in case anyone else has the same requirement (hi-res bitmap with color), was:
Open the .ai file in PhotoShop, 600 dpi gray.
Convert to bitmap, 600 dpi, diffusion dither.
Save as .tif.
Open the original .ai in Illustrator.
Isolate the color elements to the top layer.
Open the .tif bitmap in Illustrator.
Copy the bitmap into a new bottom layer.
Align the bitmap with the vector B&W layers of the same content.
Turn off the vector B&W layers.
Save the .ai.
Flatten and save as .eps.
This survives distiller, and provides a bitmap with color.
Don't forget to redact the metadata. It can add MBs all by itself.

To be begin with your problem sounds like you are doing everything in one thread. So stop doing that. Second when you get it split up and if a task is taking too much time then interrupt it. No kill. Interrupt. This means the worker thread needs to check sometimes if it has been interrupted.

          }catch(Exception e){
               e.printStackTrace();
          return "Check server Log";
}Bean2 :
@Stateless(mappedName="ejb/First")
