Need Help with Tutorial! Hachures/Clipping Mask?

Hi All, I am really struggling with this step of this awesome tutorial. I am not quite understanding how the end result of the below steps is achieved. Here are the instructions for each step (paraphrased):
1) Create a triangle, make it slim, duplicate it many times and group it.
2) Shows end result of step 1
3) Place the object over the area that you want hachures. Make a trace on the area you want to be filled using the pen tool.
4) Make a clipping mask on it
5) (end result) Repeat the same procedure.
I have no problem making the triangles, but I got stuck after that step. I made a trace over the area, but I get stuck after making a clipping mask.
I know the pictures below are small, please go to the original link and scroll down to see the referenced steps in bigger form (sorry, numbers are not referenced in tutorial, but it is somewhere towards the middle of the page):
http://abduzeedo.com/create-badass-gas-mask-illustrator
Thanks in advance!

Mylenium, after reading your post I went back, you were right (duh) my clipping mask wasn't closed and I did not have it as the top most layer.
Monika Gause, I will try and be a bit more clear with my questions in the future. I am sure it is pretty obvious, but I am a noob in a lot of ways!
I love this forum, thanks to both of you!

Need help with a simple process with FTP Adapter and File Adapter

I am trying out a simple BPEL process that gets a file in opaque mode from a FTP server using a FTP adapter and writes it to the local file system using a File Adapter. However, the file written is always empty (zero bytes). I then tried out the FTPDebatching sample using the same FTP server JNDI name and this work fine surprisingly. I also verified by looking at the FTP server logs that my process actually does hit the FTP server and seems to list the files based on the filtering condition - but it does not issue any GET or RETR commands to actually get the files. I am suspecting that the problem could be in the Receive, Assign or Invoke activities, but I am not able identify what it is.
I can provide additional info such as the contents of my bpel and wsdl files if needed.
Would appreciate if someone can help me with this at the earliest.
Thanks

Need help with a small application

Hi all, I please need help with a small application that I need to do for a homework assignment.
Here is what I need to do:
"Write an application that creates a frame with one button.
Every time the button is clicked, the button must be changed
to a random color."
I already coded a part of the application, but I don't know what to do further.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ColourButton extends JFrame {
     JButton button = new JButton("Change Colour");
     public ColourButton() {
          super ("Colour Button");
          setSize(250, 150);
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.add(button);
          add(panel);
          setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          ColourButton cb = new ColourButton();
}The thing is I'm not sure what Event Listener I have to implement and use as well as how to get the button to change to a random color everytime the button is clicked.
Can anyone please help me with this.
Thanks.

Need help with Page Layout and Background Scaling

hello, everyone.
I am in the process of designing a new website for myself,
and while I was researching nicely designed pages to use as
inspiration, I stumbled upon this site:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
obviously, the design is very impressive, but it also
incorporates a lot of web mechanics that I have been trying to
figure out, so I will use this page as an example.
one thing I need help with is backgrounds. as you can see in
the posted website, the creator used a seamlessly tiled paper
texture to display the bulk of his content on. also make not of the
pattern that is located to the left of the paper texture. how do I
create seamless backgrounds like this that will scale to fit any
amount of content or any resolution? I can't imagine that the guy
that made that site created a new size background every time he
made an update, so there has to be an easier way.
the second thing that I am having trouble with is general
site layout. I have read that most sites used series of invisible
tables to organize there content, but when I open the source of
this page in dreamweaver, he was using something different. div
tags? should I be using these? who do I use them? are there any
general layout tips that someone could pass on to me? perhaps a
link to a good tutorial?
please help me. i am very confused.
thanks so much.

IMO not a good site to emulate. To wit:
Top background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-top.jpg;
745px
x 350px 137K
Main background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-tile.jpg;
745px x 950px 130K
Total page size: 454K (Check here:
www.websiteoptimization.com)
Website usability experts routinely recommend a maximum page
size of ~80K
Check out the We We Scale @ www.FutureNowInc.com/wewe/ where
they suggest,
"You speak about yourself approximately 0,003 times as often
as you speak
about your customers. Might that have an impact on your
effectiveness?"
That is 100% consistent with the #1 Web Design mistake:
"Believing people
care about you and your web site." or to phrase more
expansively, "Our site
tries to tell you how wonderful we are as a company, but not
how we're going
to solve your problems."
www.sitepoint.com has some excellent books on making a
website actually
attractive and usable at the same time.

Help with tutorial

Hi,
I need help with the last step of this tutorial- I'm confused about which layer it is asking me to select.
The link: http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/quick-tip-how-to-create-a-3d-sketch-text-effect--vect or-4576
And i posted a screenshot of my illustrator open and the step of the tutorial I am on. I realized the tutorial is for an older version of illustrator but
I haven't had any issues so far… Stumped! Help!
Thanks!

This is the perfect example of why it is so important for trainers to label their layers. When all the layers say group and the rest is cropped by the dialog box, it really would cause confusion.
In other words, it is not your fault you were confused, it the the person that created that tutorial.
Other than contacting the trainer, you will need to follow Monika's advise.

Need help with 1 thing

I followed a tut and learned how to do everything I'll need.
I'm a kid, so I don't need to be professional about anything.
Anyways, the tutorial left out the last part. How to publish your
website. It said to find a guide in the help from dreamweaver, but
I didn't find it. If anybody could sum it up for me, simple or not,
it would be greatly appreciated.

> Would he be able to give it to me
Yes - he would relay to you the FTP login information sent to
him by his
host.
Alternatively, you could give him the files, and let him
upload them using
that same FTP information.

Need help with generics

I have written a java program using jdk1.5. After completing my program I noticed that the compiler was outputting a warning. It tells me that there were a few unsafe operations in my code. Anyway I found out that my code needed to include generics. I was able to figure out how too include some of the generics. I am having trouble with the following:
[javac] /home/paul/Documents/java/PersonalInfo/src/personalInfo/logic/DB.java:105: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion
[javac] found : personalInfo.logic.FNComparator
[javac] required: java.util.Comparator<? super java.lang.Object>
[javac] Arrays.sort(sort, fn);
[javac] ^
[javac] /home/paul/Documents/java/PersonalInfo/src/personalInfo/logic/DB.java:105: warning: [unchecked] unchecked method invocation: <T>sort(T[],java.util.Comparator<? super T>) in java.util.Arrays is applied to (java.lang.Object[],personalInfo.logic.FNComparator)
[javac] Arrays.sort(sort, fn);
[javac] ^
[javac] /home/paul/Documents/java/PersonalInfo/src/personalInfo/logic/DB.java:109: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion
[javac] found : personalInfo.logic.LNComparator
[javac] required: java.util.Comparator<? super java.lang.Object>
[javac] Arrays.sort(sort, ln);
[javac] ^
[javac] /home/paul/Documents/java/PersonalInfo/src/personalInfo/logic/DB.java:109: warning: [unchecked] unchecked method invocation: <T>sort(T[],java.util.Comparator<? super T>) in java.util.Arrays is applied to (java.lang.Object[],personalInfo.logic.LNComparator)
[javac] Arrays.sort(sort, ln);
[javac] ^
The FN/LNComparator class implements the java.util.Comparator class. I have looked at the generics tutorial on the java.sun.com website. I can't figure out what I replace the <T> with to make the code compile and the warning to go away. I have tried <Comparator> but that just gives me an error that says FNComparator does not take any parameters.
If anyone knows how to fix these warnings let me know
-Hockeyfan

I know how to fix it.
Step 1. Stop writing subject-lines like "Need help with generics". Everyone who starts a topic needs help, that's why people post here!
Step 2. Don't just post the error message, post the relevant code. In [code ][code ] tags of course.
Step 3. Stop watching hockey, it'll stunt your growth
Step 4. Have the FN/LNComparator implement, not the raw Comparator, but Comparator<Object>

Need help with CS4 transitions

Hi,
I am trying to use a cross dissolve transition. To make it simple, I have two clips. I'm obviously doing something wrong here. I've watched the Adobe TV tutorial and all the guy does is to select cross dissolve from the effects box, and drags it over to the clip on the timeline. I think I am doing the exact same thing, but when I play my clip back, I can see no transition effect played back.
Maybe I'm putting it in the wrong place I thought, so I tried putting it in front of the split between the two clips. Then again at the beginning of the second clip. Neither of them worked, so I shut CS4 down, and booted it up again. I started a new project, and put two new clips in it. I put the dissolve transition at the beginning of the second clip, and it worked like a charm. Then to see if that was a fluke, went to a point about 3 minutes earlier in the timeline. So now I am on clip one. I go and make a cut in the timeline, and try to place another Cross dissolve at this spot. It appears to place the transition there because it creates the rectangular box, and it has the name cross dissolve in that rectangular box,but when I try to play it to see the transition, it isn't working. Go back to the beginning of the second clip, and that one still works perfectly.
I noticed that there is a difference in the appearance of the two cross dissolve rectangular boxes. The one that works has a single diagonal line that goes from lower left to upper right in the cross dissolve box, and then there are a whole series of diagonal lines that go from upper left to lower right all across the cross dissolve box . It looks like a whole bunch of dark gray and white backslashes. In the one that doesn't work, there is just that single diagonal line that goes from lower left to upper right. No backslashes on this one. What am I doing right in the first one, but not in the second?
I find that it will work perfectly if I put in a new clip. If I put in the Cross Dissolve at the beginning of a new clip that I add to the timelime, it will work perfectly. It is only when I try to split a clip that is already on the timeline, and then put the cross dissolve in at that point.
Perhaps it is not possible to do what I am attempting to do. Maybe you can't split a clip and place the transition at that point?

When I am shooting video, it is not unusual for me to be taping a scene of a mountain, for example, and then put the camera on pause, while I briefly position myself to take video of the river that is flowing at my feet. That is what is happened on this clip that I am attempting to put the transition in between. Rather than having the scene just instantly change at this point, from the mountain to the river, it would be nice to have a smoother transition then that.
My mind was working on the problem while sleeping last night, and I think I might understand how to handle it. It might have been too simple for me to think about yesterday. I haven't tried it yet, but would it not work, to insert the mountain scene from my source monitor into the timeline, and then go back and insert the river scene into the time line instead of inserting both of them at the same time. Would these not now be two separate clips on the timeline, and the transition could now be applied?
Your analogy with the DJ is very good, but it isn't quite the same. You are correct in that he would be only fading from one song to the same spot on the same song. In my case I am going from an image of a mountain to an image of a river. Same clip, but different images. I appreciate the help, and your thoughts.

Subject: Need help with CS4 transitions
From a creative standpoiint, I don't understand the desire to transition from one clip to the exact same spot on that same clip. That's like a DJ at a night club fading from one song to the exact same spot on that same song being played on a second CD player. What's the point?

I need help with tracking

Ok the video that you can see on my youtube is the one I need help with. The video is actually in 1080p and I have no idea why it is showing in such a low resolution, but that is not the problem. I need to track the gun and add a null to that track, after that I want to add a red solid layer and bring down its opacity a little, to simulate a laser sight from the gun.Then I tried to parent and SHIFT parent the red solid to the track, the end product would have to look like what you can see in the picture. I have watched a TON of videos about tracking and just can not the the result I need. the laser needs to follow the gun as I aim up and bring the gun down. How should I do this.......? Please someone help or link me a tutorial that will be helpful.....

You have a couple of problems. First you don't need to use shift parent, just parent. Second, your red solid is a 3D layer and you have applied 2D tracking info to the solid. Actually, there's another mistake and it is in the tracking. You should also be tracking scale because the gun moves from left to right as well as up and down. This changes the distance between the front and back tracking points.
My workflow with this project would be:
Track Motion of the front and back of the gun including position, scale and rotation
Apply the track info to a null called GunTrack or something like that
Add a solid and apply the beam effect or mask the red solid to simulate the shape of a laser sight
Change the blend mode of the solid to ADD
Move the anchor point to the center of the starting point of the laser
Parent the solid to the Gun Track null
That should do it.

Need help with session sharing in WebCenter Portal

Hi, How can I share session between a WebCenter Portal application and the portlets it is consuming?
Basically I want this for authentication. In the portal framework application, I'm setting a user object in the session, How can I get the object in a portlet?
Regards,
Navaneet

IN the second page, you have to make sure that the session
has been started.
Put this at the very top of the page -
<?php if (!isset($_SESSION)) session_start(); ?>

Need help with session using dreamweaver

have created a login page (php/mysql) with username and
password boxes. when the form is submitted the mainpage loads up.
i want the main page to be specific to that user, so i want
their name to appear in the first line. eg.. Welcome back 'David'
I read a tutorial in the past that tought me to send the
users id in the URL and then create a record set on the mainpage
that was filtered by the URL parameter.
I have forgotten how to do this and the tutorial is no longer
available on Adobe's site.
I tried that with
$_SESSION['MM_Username'] = $loginUsername; \\ in first page
then
echo $_SESSION["MM_username"]; \\in second page, but the
problem is that is not showing user name.
i need help with that please!
can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks in advance,
AM

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...
