I need help making a die cut

I work for a non-profit and have some experience with illustrator. I've come up with an idea for a fundraising brochure, it uses our logo and requires a die line. Can someone please help me get started? I have figured out that I need to make a new layer and make the line a different color but when it comes to making the actual line (odd shape) I cannot get it to look smooth. Also I would l have photos that will go on some pages and text on others, do I just put these under the die line?

Thank you.
I'm trying to use the pen tool. The shape I'm trying to make is a bit complicated. I've attached our logo, I'm using the swoop part. So there will be a point at the top left then it was follow the swoop down to the right and make a point on the bottom right and back up on the left. The side lines will be curved. Does that make sense? This will be a fold able brochure so ever other page will have to be a mirror image.
I've drawn a line around the image but I don't know how to make the line smooth, because of the anchors it looks a bit off. Then I guess I don't know how to do the fold able part, do I just make a new page for each one or do they have to be connected in illustrator as they will be on paper?
Thank you

I need help making Adobe Edge animation appear correctly on iphones, ipads and android phones.

I need help making Adobe Edge animation appear correctly on iphones, ipads and android phones. It currently looks fine on desktops and androids. I am using wordpress with a responsive theme (Canvas). I will need you to document The url is http://adamhtc.org.s183459.gridserver.com.

Thanks George, interesting thought. I looked on Adobe's site and they "advertise" fillable forms for the iPhone and Android markets, but on the Windows Phone tab, that is mysteriously missing. lol Maybe it will come later? Meanwhile, I'll google to see if there are any PDF viewers that can handle it now. Thanks for the reply. :-)

Need help making a simple script for my webcam

Hey everyone, fairly new to applescript programming. I just bought a usb camera for my macbook because I use it for video conferencing/playing around, and it is better quality than the built in isight. However, in order to use this camera I need to use drivers from a program called camTwist. This being said camTwist needs to be opened first and the usb camera must be selected from camTwist Step 1 list in order for any other application to use the camera. I just want to make a simple program that would open camTwist first, then select "webcam" from the list (double click it like I always have to in order to select it) in order to activate the driver, and then open photo booth which would then be using the camTwist driver in order to take pictures.
I made a crude program but it does not automatically select "webcam" from the Step 1 list in camTwist:
tell application "CamTwist" to activate
delay 10
tell application "Photo Booth" to activate
that’s basically it. I set the delay to 10 seconds so that when camTwists boots up first I can manually select my webcam. HOWEVER, I would like to make a script that would boot up CamTwist first, select my webcam from the list automatically, and then open Photo Booth with the CamTwist webcam driver already selected.
Don't know much about applescript so any help to make a working script to solve my problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Solved my problem but now I need help with something else! First I used CamTwist user options to create user defined hot keys with the specific purpose to load the webcam. I chose Command+B. I tested it out in CamTwist and it worked. The program follows a logical order from there. First it loads CamTwist, then after a short delay it presses the hot keys in order to load the webcam from the video source list, then another short delay and Photo Booth is opened with the driver loaded from camTwist. Everything works Perfect! Here's the code:
tell application "System Events"
tell application "CamTwist" to activate
delay 0.5
--Press command+b which is a user defined hot key to load webcam
key code 11 using command down
end tell
delay 0.5
tell application "Photo Booth" to activate
My Next question is, would it be possible with this same script to have both applications quit together. For example I always quit Photo Booth first, so when I quit photo booth is there a way to make CamTwist also quit and keep everything within the same script? Please let me know. This forum has been very helpful and lead me to a solution to my problem! Hoping I can solve this next problem as well! Thanks everyone.

I need help making a square that scans across a screen.

i'm trying to make a program that creates images of a square scanning across a black background. so far all i have is a program that makes one image where i can alter the size of the square and its position. I'm very very new to labview and i need help with the structure that would create all the images of the square scanning across and then shift down and scan across again.
thank you very much,

As Lynn found, there is a memory problem with the vi which didn't show up in my limited testing.
Using Shift Registers with Picture Controls can cause problems.
See this thread.
Try the attached "mod" version.
Then I got to thinking, why redraw the box (2x with "erase") - when you could just move a box around?
(Note: I used a picture for the box, but you could use other objects.)
The "mod1" version does it this way.

I need help making a new Arch install ISO

I have posted a couple of messages, but as yet no one seems to have responded, probably because they have not read them.
I need help building a new ISO for Arch, to take account of dmraid.
I can and have built ones that get so far, and clearly I am not that far away.
All I need help with now is getting at the contents of the initial ramdisk (/isolinux/initrd.img) so I can make a new one with modifications, and if anyone can help, I need a hand working out how to use the kernel26.img that I will end up with on a system.
Any help appreaciated.

As far as I know this will be included in the next ISO release. I solved it by manually bringing the dmraid package to the install and wrote a guide on installing your root system on dmraid. However when the system crashes I have the slight inconvenience of having to install dmraid and manually mount the sets to do a recovery. I guess this is the part you want to get rid of aswell. I decided to wait until the next holy ISO.

Needing help making a Slideshow in Premiere 7

Back in 2008 several contributors on this forum helped me make a slideshow using Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4, which I am forever grateful for. It was a long process as I had never made a slideshow before, but after much labor I created a wonderful slideshow of my Alaska photos with music. After a lot of reading I decided to upgrade to Elements and Premiere 7, which I was able to actually do for free. I purchased the Muvipix.com Guide to Adobe Premiere Elements 7 as I was told this would be a great resource to help me out. Well, here I am two years later trying to make a slideshow again and still as confused as ever. I am trying to make the slideshow in Adobe Premiere Elements, as I was told last time it was easier to do it that way if I wanted to add music to it. I am just getting started and am already confused.
My first question is: Am I best off making the slide show in Premiere Elements rather than Photoshop Elements? I want to add music to it.
I have tried using both the book that came with the program and the Muvipix book and I am lost on step one.
In the Adobe manual it says to deselect the Show Video and Show Audio buttons. Why do I need to deselect these?
In the Muvipix book it tells me to select a number of clips amd then either right-click on them or click on the ">>" button to access the "Create Slideshow" too. I can't find the ">>" button. How do I access the the "Create Slideshow" feature?
I have a question about the stills that show up in the panel. Many actual photos appear in this panel. However, there are also a large group of boxes with two swirling arrows, one green and one red. Why are they there rather than actual photos? I have tried double clicking on a few and they all bring up the same photo folder from "my pictures." I am confused.
Sorry if my questions seem very basic, but this is not what I do for a living. It is a once every couple of year hobby. Perhaps if I ever get it downpat I will do it more often.
Thanks for any help you can give me. I am sure I will need a little more handholding. I have been looking for the last two years for a class on this program. I know that is what I need. However, none have been available in my area.

Thanks for the response Steve. I am hoping it will be easier this time around.
"If you're seeing empty boxes with swirling arrows in them instead of your photos in the Project panel, it means that the program no longer has access to the photos -- either because they were moved or the device that they were on (your camera?) was disconnected from the computer. You really need to copy these photos to your computer's hard drive if you're going to use them in a project"
These photos were still on the harddrive. I checked in Photoshop Elements and they needed to get reconnected. Here is what I think happened. When I download my photos, they go into MY PICTURES. When I move them from where they automatically get placed by the program, into a folder of my choice, they seem to get "unconnected". I was able to reconnect them and now they appear in Premiere Elements. Thanks for the tip which actually led me to a solution.
"There are actually at least four different ways to make a slideshow in Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements. Each has advantages. Which method are you using? (In all cases, as I say in my book, you should make sure your photos are sized to no larger than 1000x 750 pixels in size before you begin.)"
I am just starting and I was using Premiere Elements 7. I thought I was told back in 2008 on this forum it was easier to do it all in Premiere Elements if I wanted to add music rather than creating it in Photoshop Elements and then moving it to Premiere. As far as photo size, I am a real beginner here. I have no idea what size they are or where to look to find that out. All I know is that my Alaska slideshow turned out great and did nothing about changing pixels. Where would I find out how to change pixel size?
"It sounds like you're using the Create Slideshow tool in the Project media panel. (As I say in Chapter 1, you'll only be able to see the >> menus if you go to the Window drop-down menu and select Show Docking Headers.) You can also access this tool by selecting all of the photos you want to include in the Project panel and right-clicking on them."
I did read about Show Docking Headers and did follow that instruction. That was the first thing I did, actually. However, when I am in Premiere ELements, I still don't see where I find the Create Slideshow tool that you mention on p. 59. I am a bit confused with this option. I can move the photos I want from the panel to the Timeline, but I am confused as to where the "Create Slideshow Tool" is located.
Thanks again for your help.I know I will get this done, just very slowly.

Need Help making a navigation menu for a website

Alright so I've been having some problems getting this to work correctly. I am making a navigation menu for a website and I'm trying to get when I hover over the main header a drop down appears animated of course below it. I also want when you highlight a specific text line for it to highlight blue along with a rectangle behind it to change to a lighter shade of red.
Some of the problems I have been running into is play and stop commands on mouseover and them not stopping when they should and getting the text to change color.
Thanks for the help.

Your page's code is still a bit of a wreck. Do you ever look at it?
<html>
<style type="text/css">#p7MBM_1 {
width: 951px;
You need a doctype first - I recommend HTML4.01 Transitional. Open this (and other pages) in DW and use FILE | Convert > HTML 4.01 Transitional, then save. But wait until you do the other changes recommended below before doing this.
Add a <head> tag below the <html> tag.
Add a <title> tag below the <head> tag.
Add this below the <title> tag - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Add </head> below this -
<style type="text/css">

</style>
You may want to change that font-family style to "Goudy Old Style, Geneva, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif", since Goudy is not web safe.
Move <body> below that </head> you just added.
That will clean your code up a bit. Let's look at the page again when you have done these.

Need help setting up final cut pro

I'm using a Sony Handycam HDR-SR11 for my videos and I need to know what to set the program up under. please help!!

You need at least FCP 6 to be able to use the camera at all.
AVCHD footage can be transferred using the Log and Transfer window in Final Cut Pro.
Once you have transferred your footage, you can edit using an appropriate Apple
Intermediate Codec or Apple ProRes 422 codec Easy Setup.
You can transfer AVCHD footage to your scratch disk using the Log and Transfer
window in Final Cut Pro. During transfer, you can choose whether the Log and
Transfer window transcodes your footage to the Apple Intermediate Codec or the
Apple ProRes 422 codec.
Important: Although it is possible to copy AVCHD files directly to your scratch disk,
Final Cut Pro won’t recognize these files. You must use the Log and Transfer window
to transfer and transcode AVCHD footage.
For more information, in the FCP Menu select Help>HD and Broadcast Formats where you will find a section describing how to work with AVCHD.

I need help making a pie chart

Hello, hoping for some help with making a chart that will update as i continually input data
I have a chart that has many columns logging details of win/loss records. I would like to make a pie chart that represents a set of columns and shows the ratio of wins for each of the columns.
I will try and give some better details. There are 5 columns (j,k,l,m,n) and each represents a color. In each column there are check-boxes. 1 or more will be checked on each row. On the same row there is a tally of wins. each row represents a different day. What I am looking for is a pie chart that shows how many wins i have in each color.
for example.
nov 1st: 5 wins in color J
nov 2nd: 2 wins in color k
nov 3rd: 4 wins in colors m and n
the pie chart will contain a total of 15 'wins' split up on the chart between each color....... 5(j) + 2(k) + 4(m) + 4(n). theoretically the J should take up 1/3rd of the pie and so on.
I also have a total at the bottom of the colors column, but this will not show which color got the wins.
Hopefully this makes some sense to understand and if I am very fortunate someone much smarter then me will be generous enough to help me out.
Thank you very much, all help is appreciated.

Hi Anthony,
This table may be what you want. I added a row at the top (you don't need that row. It is just may way of getting around the poor screen shots in this forum).
I hid some columns, then I copied the table and pasted directly into this reply (I have had it with screen shots ).
A
F
J
K
L
M
N
Date
Wins
Colour J
Colour K
Colour L
Colour M
Colour N
Nov 1
1
TRUE
Nov 2
1
TRUE
Nov 3
2
TRUE
TRUE
Checkboxes show as TRUE (not a tick) in this pasted table. But a tick = TRUE .
Formula in F3 (Wins, Nov 1)
=COUNTIF(J3:N3,"=TRUE")
I hope this helps with your pie chart.
Regards,
Ian.

I need help making a mailserver.

Hey all, this is my first post on the Arch-Linux forum. As you can tell by my title, I would like to allow this computer (running arch, as you may have guessed) to work not only as a desktop machine, but also an e-mail server, with the possibility of expansion in the future. I've found some guides, but I do have some questions, so I decided to ask them here.
First off: Will this even work? The guides to do this that I've seen recommend a server-based distribution, like ubuntu server edition, to do this. I'm making the assumption that this desktop system can do it as well, but I'm not sure.
Second: To do this, and be able to access it from a remote location (my ipod at a wifi hotspot, or a friend's house, for instance), will I need to register a domain name, or is there an easier way?
That's pretty much it. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello and welcome to the forums!
First off: Will this even work? The guides to do this that I've seen recommend a server-based distribution, like ubuntu server edition, to do this. I'm making the assumption that this desktop system can do it as well, but I'm not sure.
You can install the mail-services on any computer. It doesn't matter if it is a "server" or a "desktop".
Second: To do this, and be able to access it from a remote location (my ipod at a wifi hotspot, or a friend's house, for instance), will I need to register a domain name, or is there an easier way?
Check out DynDNS
But please keep in mind, that making services aviable trough the internet implies a much higher security-risk than just having a linux box behind a firewall. Especially mail-servers need elaborate configuration - don't let your box become an open mail relay...
Br

Need help making this class Runnable.

Hello,
This class (see below) is working fine the way it is but I have a little problem, I need to execute aprox 500+ commands and each command takes between 30sec to 3 minutes to complete which translate into hours for the job to finish.
I want to speed the process by multi-tasking and executing (possibly) all commands simultaniously by somehow making this class Threaded/Runnable (miltitasking). There must be something tricky about Runtime class and cannot figured it out.
Your help would be highly appreciated.

The proper way to design software is to start at the beginning and design Classes. Not try to butcher that which is working.
You're running work outside the JVM and this work might interfere with other, similar work (the multi-threading issue.)
I'd start with paper and pencil and see what conflicts might arise.

Help making a 3D cut sphere in Illustrator?

Hello!
So I'm a novice at making 3D objects in Illustrator. I'm attempting to make a cut sphere in Illustrator. I'm not sure if what I want to achieve is best done through pen tool and gradients or 3D revolve. Here are some screenshots of my attemps thus far:
This one is with the pen tool:
This is as far as I got with the 3D Revolve:
I'm trying to have a sphere within a sphere, with the outer sphere being cut revealing some of the inner sphere. The outer sphere will have a lower opacity.
Any tips, tricks, guidance, video tutorials, etc, are appreciated! I will send you cookies in return for your help

You can apply transparency to the paths to which 3D Effect is applied.
You can "nest" paths inside each other.
However, Illustrator's 3D Effect cannot apply different revolve or extrusion parameters to individual paths in the same model. Note that in the top example below, the green tube is translucent, the red is opaque. But they are both revolved to the same degree, and they are both aligned about the revolve axis. You can't do anything about that. That's one of the debilitating limitations of the dumbed-down Dimensions functionality upon which 3D Effect is based.
The green "atom shells" below are not made with 3D Effect at all. They are simply circles with gradient fills and transparency applied.
You can't do what you describe in a single 3D Effect model. You can either use multiple 3D Effect objects and simply overlap them, or you can just draw the thing normally without 3D Effect, or you can construct a combination of the two. For example:
The above is just a stack of three 3D Effect objects. The largest semicircle is set to 50% transparency and revolved 270°.
That object was duplicated, given a blue fill with no transparency, revolve changed to 360°, and sent to back.
That object was duplicated, revolve changed to 90° and sent to front.
