How would I create a wheel shape

Hi, I am new to Illustrator
I was wondering how I would create this shape in Illustrator CS3
I have scanned this in in Photoshop but it ain't pretty. I need a clean full version with no gaps and slightly rounded corners. I would be grateful if someone could take the time to explain step by step. Thanks in anticipation

Pie Chart Method this will give you a general idea it requires expanding and use of the another ellipse and deleting path segments.
It is a long story but takes only about ten minutes because you will make some mistakes. And in the end I outlined the strokes
Here is the transform way using two strokes acting as radii and overlapping two concentric circles using the path finder or Live Paint features.
Coloring some stroke with a color of none. You can then expand that. I don't have a screen shot of this method.
Here is with the Polar grid it would really be good that made geometry like this that could easily be updated I think they are called primitives.
A feature long need by Illustrator.

How would I create buttons states for MCs I am creating abstract MCs

I am creating a generic website that would have abstract MCs that would load jpg or TXT fields for the user interface to allow for fast updates to the site. The MCs that would make up the user interface would be empty and load things into it using XML or PHP later on. How would I create button states for the user interface MCs. I started creating a function for every MC button state but I thought there might be a more efficient way.
would creating a array help in this case?
and is using URLRequest the way to link to pages with in a movie well the flash movie that is the site it's self?

click insert/new symbol, tick movieclip, assign a name, tick export for actionscript and in the class textfield enter a name (say ButtonClass) and click ok.
attached to the first frame of your new movieclip, type stop() in the actions panel. put whatever graphic you want on-stage for your button's up stage. create another keyframe, label it "over" and put whatever graphic you want for button's over state on-stage.
in a layer above those graphics, you'll probably want to add a dynamic textfield so each of your buttons can have different text. assign the textfield and instance name (say tf) and extend its timeline to the last frame of your movieclip button.
then when you want to create a button, on your timeline you can use:
var b:ButtonClass=new ButtonClass(); // these two lines need to be entered for each button
buttonhandlerF(b,someX,someY);
//-------code between dotted lines only needs to be entered once no matter how many buttons you add --------------------
function buttonhandlerF(b:ButtonClass,x:Number,y:Number){
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,overF);
b.addEventListener(MouseEVent.MOUSE_OUT,outF);
b.x=x
b.y=y
addChild(b);
function overF(e:MouseEvent){
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop("over");
function outF(e:MouseEvent){
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
//-------code between dotted lines only needs to be entered once --------------------
// you'll also want to create a click listener and listener function
the code between the dotted lines is amenable to being added to a ButtonClass.as class file if want to expand your capabilities.

How would you create a read/display only applicaiton montior role for SRM

Hello,
I was hoping to get some insight on how to create a display/read only SRM Application monitor role. This role would be used by our Service Desk to perform basic trouble shooting before escalating. Currently in our system it is tied into a tab named SAP Administration and has the capability of doing more than read. How do you create a read version of this to only display the application monitoring in read mode? We currently have an SRP role that has the followiing auths below. Would a EPP portal role need to be created and if so how> Thank you for any assistance.

How would I create an USB Barcode Scanner Listener using Adobe AIR?

I want to create a USB barcode scanner listener that would read in the scanned barcode, and place the barcode in a field in my AIR App even if the program wasn't focused on that particular field in the App. If the client was using the application at the time for something else the scan would be buffered in AIR till requested or the AIR App has been idle for x period of time where upon the field would be brought into focus.
How would I go about this (I'm developing on windows) Was hoping for a USB solution within AIR but not fussy at all if I have to go outside AIR to solve this problem. Java, Flex, ActionScript, Flash, C, C++, C#, VB (currently I've developed the rest of the App using Adobe AIR and JavaScript)
I thought after some research that I could make a Java App (if all else fails) that listens and buffers the input and passes it along using a socket but JUSB doesn't work on Windows properly.
I'm not stuck on any one particular implementation or idea just want to get development underway so... Any ideas? or suggestions would be awesome. I've googled a lot but haven't found any examples or solid suggestions, so any URL pointing to that information would be great too, if you know of a good one, then I'd be able to read up on any suggestion.
Thanks,
Marty

Thanks Joe,
Just for anyone else. I bought a Metologic Scanner - VoyagerCG. I was trying to get it to work using Java USB for a bit with no luck. But if you get this scanner or one like it, it can be configured as a Virtual COM Port. Which is very very easy in Java to set up as a listener and use sockets to transfer the data and listen within AIR.
This PDF has links to drivers and instructions if this is useful to anyone.

How would i create dynamic categories.

http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/flexbook/
http://www.rubenswieringa.com/blog/flex-book-component-beta
I am trying to create a dynamic flipbook, the first one i
ever made in flex is here.
http://proof7.com/holiday2008/
Now I am trying to create a book with a few different
categories. 8 to be specific.
How would I go about creating a book with sub categories that
will allow me to click a menu or button, to flip to the next
category, but the actual page contents be dynamic?
The other members of my team say that it can be achieved
through XML, but I havent seen any examples showing how to
dynamically generate pages from the DB. Some say use the URLloader.
The code is from the QS version. I like this one because it
has the zoom but I have to figure out how to get it to talk with
the backend first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to programmatically create this vector shape?

I have a cardboard cut-out of something I want to create.
See picture?
I've taken a picture and made a vector outline that I'm satisfied with.
Initial vector shape!
Now to get those holes, there's a variety of ways to do it... but I want accuracy, so does anyone have a suggestion how to pull it off?
Methods to achieve the evenly spaced holes inside the piece?
1 - SLOPPY - Draw each segment by hand, using photo as a background reference.
2 - SLOPPY - Draw a rounded corner rectangle then duplicate/scale/edit it for each segment.
3 - SLOPPY - Bring prepared photo in and use Illustrator's LiveTrace feature to convert the shapes into vector. I tried, with variations. Have to tweak each individual segment after.
4 - PREFERRED - Somehow tell the computer to generate X number of objects along Y path, making them smaller and smaller.
Method 4 can almost be done in a number of ways...
4a-Make a rounded corner rectangle, duplicate it off in a straight row, group them together, then use something like Warp.
4b-Make a rounded corner rectangle, duplicate it off in a straight row, group the together, then use 3d extrude & rotate and extract the results.
4c-Make a rounded corner rectangle, use Transform and replicate it X times and adjust horizontal/vertical positioning and scale.
I like 4c but still not close. How can I restrict it to be along a pre-determined path (an arc)? Like text-on-path tool, but with shapes, and scaling down progressively like a warp.
Anyone have any advice?
I need/want precision because this is a part that will be cut out of a CNC machine for something that'll be at a tradeshow.

We need a better understanding of your understanding of terms like "accuracy," "evenly spaced," and "precision."
If I interpret "accuracy" to mean "true to the original raster image," then I would use method #1. It's "sloppy" only if you do not know how to use Illustrator drawing tools.
The blend tool might get you to method #4, but you will be constrained as to spacing and shape progression.
Note that you can replace the spine of a blend with a path you've created.

How would I create old, glitchy like effects like these ones?

Recently, there have been some teasers coming out on Snap-chat for an upcoming video game that feature some creepy, hypnotic, and cool effects. They can be found here:
Black Ops 2 has been updated with viral marketing for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 - UPDATE 12 | Charlie INTEL
And I was wondering if there were any experts on here who would know how to recreate these things in premiere. For instance that overlay over the video, those lines over the video, that make it look almost like its a CRT TV screen being externally filmed. Or the static etc.
If anyone could link me to other assets that I can use to just mess up video and make it look, I don't know, any type of visual artifacting or 80s/90s video tropes/effects, or even earlier. I'm open to anything. I'm attempting to make this film into a very similar style as those quick teasers.
Also I do understand that I am limiting things here by making this a premiere thing. But I am a completely lost child trying to land on the moon when it comes to After Effects, so keep this premiere please. I do understand this kind of limits this stuff to mostly overlays or presets or other things that are for the most part already created. But im open to anything.
Thanks and I hope you guys have some good ideas.
TJ

to further encourage your creativity:
you can also export screenshots of your video and manipulate them, then reimport them and play with blending modes and/or mattes...
Did you know that you can manipulate and distort image files by opening them in a text or audio editor?
(for the latter you may have to change the file extension to .txt or another text format... then back to .tiff or jpg)
Here's some ideas:

or for a cheap quick and easy way, throw your jpg screenshots through here:

And hey, go crazy, be creative, have fun!
the most versatile and controlled way i know of is still RG Universe...

How would I create a desktop shortcut for one of my bookmarks?

What I would like to do is access one of my bookmarks straight from my desktop. I think I need to create a shortcut in order to do this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Sorry misunderstood
Here's solution
You can use Firefox to create a shortcut on your computer's desktop to a page you've visited:Resize the Firefox window so you can see both your computer's desktop and the Firefox window on the same screen.Click the icon on the left of the Location bar, i.e. where the web address (URL) is shown.While still holding the mouse button down, move the pointer to the desktop, then release the mouse button. The shortcut will be created.You can also drag and drop items to the desktop from the Bookmarks menu and the Library window to create shortcuts.If you open the shortcut you made, your default browser will open, and display the page for which you made the shortcut. If you want to make Firefox your default browser, see How to make web links open in Firefox by default.In addition, there may be third-party Firefox extensions that can help you. For more information on searching for and installing extensions, see Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox.Share this article: http://mzl.la/O8wQKO

How would I create a screen with links after a person logs into their computer?

I have been asked to create a custom welcome screen that would load after a person logs into their computer . This screen is to have links to a couple of items.
but I need this to show after they log in and before they see their desktop.
How do I do this or even accomplish this?

According to your description, it really seems like a start screen in Windows 8\8.1, after user logs on to the system, he will first see a "start screen" with tiles (links to an App) on the screen, then he can manually swith to the classic desktop if he
want.
But in Windows 7, I never saw this kind of settings, for VB6 and HTA page, seems more related with development, if so, I suggest you post in this forum

How do I create this swirling shape

Hi:
I am sure there is a simple solution here, and I have been trying the twist tool on a start shape, but it comes out fragmented.
Does anyone know how to create this?
Thank you in advance!

This might give you some insight....

Within the budget template; how would one create an entire year worth of a budget; with out having to create a separate page for each month?

Help!
Loving the budget template, but I would like to be able to create an entire years worth of a buget with out creating a whole new transaction/budget page for each month. How do I get the new transaction to identify a new budget chart?
Thanks, Emily

Emily,
No need to think the budget template is only for one month. Just keep typing the date in the date column of the "Transactions" sheet and the details will update. You should adjust the budget categories to match the duration of time you want to use.
If you do want month-by-month, then you can switch to the "Transactions" sheet, select the table, cut
then switch back to the "Budget" sheet, paste.
Now rename the "Budget" sheet something like "Budget Jan 2014", and delete the "Transactions" sheet. Set the budget for Jan in the column I highlighted above. The subsequent months, duplicate the monthly budget:
Then adjust the the entries in the transactions table inside this sheet.

How would I create the Classic Concentration Game

I am new to Captivate and Forums, so please excuse me for being so green.
I am trying to recreate the Classic Concentration game. Does any one have any ideas how I would do this in Captivate?

That YouTube video was very helpful in showing how to use the new features in Captivate 6 which I am using to build my own concentration game.
The screen shots in the video of the advanced action scripts helped me understand where you are putting the variables and which action correlates with each variable.
One question, may I see what the script looks like for the Captivate 6 concentration game for the CHECKFIRST? click Advanced Action of your smart shapes? See image to explain where I am talking about:

How would I create this sort of effect?

I have attached an image and I need to know how to create this sort of border around a text....
If anyone could give an "idiots" guide that would be great!!
I really have tried but don't seem to be getting anywhere and i'm sure there's an easy shortcut somewhere.

You can have a stroke that fills in the open spaces within ("the counters") by adding a pathfinder effect to the mix - I wrote up a tutorial here: http://www.illustratorhints.com/2010/05/fill-in-the-counters-on-live-text/
Actually, that shows your whole question I think - I used offset fills instead of strokes, but the idea is the same.
