I've got dotted lines round my flash objects

Hello - if anyone could help me with something, I'd be
eternally grateful!
I'm building a website with Dreamweaver, and it's got several
flash elements, like buttons and pictures.
When I preview the site on my BT browser, everything looks
great - but when I preview it on my IE browser, it's a mess.
When I hover over a flash element, a box of dotted lines
appears around the flash object, and the words "click to activate
and use the control" appear.
When I then click on the object, the box disappears, and I
can then use the buttons etc.
My dreamweaver site is made with tables. The dotted-line box
surrounds the CELL that the flash object is in, rather than the
flash object itself.
I've no idea what this is, or why it only happens in my IE
browser and not my BT one. If anyone can give me some pointers, I'd
be very grateful. At this rate, I'm going to be at my PC all
Christmas Day!
Thanks in advance

From an identical question in this forum about 12 hours
ago...
It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
earlier this
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2, the fix is already built
into DW's
interface.
If not, try
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
Using the <embed> tag in the HTML code to "embed" the
Flash file in the page
(which used to be the normal way of doing it) triggers the
new IE behaviour.
The 8.0.2 updater calls the same Flash file via Javascript
instead so the
new IE behaviour is not triggered..
Once the updater has been applied you upload the changed HTML
page PLUS the
new Scripts folder, containing a Javascript file, which has
just been
created by the 8.0.2 updater.
Note: DW 8.0.2 does not tell you anything about the existence
of, and need
to upload, the new Scripts folder that it has just created.
You're just
expected to know (or find out). Lazy programming by Adobe.

Don't know what version of Dreamweaver you are running but

Dotted Lines as outline for dynamically created shapes?

Hey all, I'm building a site whose flat, vector shapes need
an outline of a dotted line.
The majority of these shapes are simply rectangles with
rounded corners. All are created dynamically.
I could do each shape's lines by hand and attach them, but
I'd much rather use a script. Anyone have any suggestions? :) I
could use a good jump-start on tackling this.
Thanks in advance -

Yeah I agree, this is not an easy task. However senocular has
a package that you can download that will get you pretty close to
your goal. So if you download the zip here;
http://www.senocular.com/flash/source.php?id=0.159
…and comment out and modify the code in the fla as the
following;
import com.senocular.drawing.*;
// create ProgressiveDrawing instance to draw in _root
//var myDrawing:ProgressiveDrawing = new
ProgressiveDrawing(_root);
// create DashedLine instance to draw in myDrawing
(ProgressiveDrawing)
// use random dash sizes
var myDash:DashedLine = new DashedLine(this, 35, 35);
// reset linestyle to random size and color
myDash.clear();
myDash.lineStyle(5, 0xFF0000, 100);
// draw a circle in the myDash instance
circle(myDash, 150,150, 200,200, true);
// because all myDash drawings were added to myDrawing,
// myDrawing will draw a dashed circle when draw is called
//myDrawing.draw(100);
…this will create a constant circle with a dashed line
versus creating a random circle. You can obviously change the
values on that frame which will change the color and spacing
between the dashes (and a few other parameters will change others).
If you notice the circle(), this is created also on the first frame
but on a different layer. This is where you would want to change
your shapes. Just create another layer that will contain a
different shape. I hope this helps, regardless have a high regard
for senocular and other developers that contributed to this
package.

How do I make a dotted line in Illustrator?

I've figured out how to make a dashed line (under Stroke), but how do I make a dotted line? Little round circles, one after the other that I can resize, turn into a circle, stick to a path?
Thanks

The string of pearls was done on CS2
The orange "pearls" had a stroke weight of 40 pt, Dash 0, Gap 42 and a new black stroke behind with a weight of 42 pt.
Then the stroke was copied, coloured just white and moved a bit to make the white "highlights". Weight 10 pt, Dash 0, Gap 42.
I suppose, if one could be bothered, it would be possible to make a string of pearls with alternating big and small pearls by using a combination of dash settings on New Strokes. Should work all right as long as the Dash is a constant or an exact multiple. I can't be bothered!
I don't understand that bit about having the last gap as 0. The pearls came out fine with just one setting for the dash and one for the gap. The other boxes weren't filled in.

Dotted lines in Indesign turn into thick bulky lines in PDF (Adobe Reader)

Hi there
Got a situation that is really confusing me, i have dotted lines in indesign that look perfect thin and in a light grey, however when i export this and view it in adobe reader/acrobat or when i upload my pdf online, the lines turn into thick black bulky lines? I have ensured that 'compression for line art and text' is unticked, can anyone help me understand this?
As my pdf is for viewing online I would really want the lines to not ruin the whole page
Many thanks
what line is supposed to look like and and what it looks like in adobe reader/ acrobat

I've been having the same problem.
After seeing Larry's comment it occurred to me that my Mac automatically opens all files that I export to pdf in 'Preview', and this is what I have been using to view the pdfs each time. I deliberately opened the same files using Adobe Reader, and the dots are fine.
So perhaps it's just a problem with 'Preview'? Unfortunately I think my printer is using Preview too, as 2 recent jobs have been printed with those awful clumsy dots

Horizontal black/dotted lines on Apple Studio Display

As of about six hours ago, my screen is suddenly showing several horizontal 1px thick lines at the top of the screen; they are usually black but sometimes change to alternating black and white dotted line when a window is moved around in the area they're covering. They were not there this morning when I used the computer, they just showed up without warning. I've restarted the system to no avail; any suggestions on next steps or ideas of what might be going on here?

Hi bogisan
To clarify, I mentioned in my original post that I'd tested with DV and got the same problem...
dewshi wrote:
Actually, it shows the same issue displaying DV-PAL!
Although I'm working with ProRes, I have already experimented with playing out DV on a DV timeline, which should be less demanding than ProRes, as you're suggesting.
It doesn't look to me like the familiar cheese-grater artefact associated with interlacing issue as there's only one break in the image, rather than mismatching alternative lines when there is horizontal motion. I've tried different sequence settings for the field order, with no difference.
I'm wondering if the display is out of sync? It literally looks like the screen has been sliced by a razor 1/3 of the way down, and the bottom part is a different frame to the top. It happens when I scrub through the timeline too, but stabilises once parked on single frame.
By the way, I've also checked that the MBP has switched to the NVIDIA card rather than the slower, less energy consuming Intel video card.
Will check out the MBP forum too...
Thanks

Annoying dotted border around flash objects...

Hey. In the past few months I've noticed every time I have a
flash object on my browser, it's surrounded by a dotted border that
causes me to have to first press on the flash object - and only
then be able to use it.
So, for example, if the flash object is a
menu, I first have to click inside the flash object, and
then the border goes off and the flash is "activated".
Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how can I make
it go away?
Thank you! :)

the flash before

> could use it.

Icons display as dotted line box

My first post to the community. Please be gentle.
When I access my Documents or Downloads folder from the dock, the individual files are displayed as a dotted line box rather than the icon preview of the file. If I access the Documents or Downloads folder using Finder, the icons display as expected (miniature version of the picture, .pdf, document, etc). For the life of me, I can't figure out why this is or how to correct it.
Not a big issue, but it is really bugging me that I can't figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Once you define the relation ship goto ppos_old and see the structure. After you got the structure of the org unit then click on the staff assignments and look for the position to which you have specified the relation. And go for the reporting structure under the main menu-> Goto-> Reporting structure then you can see the relation ship between the persons but you wont see it as a dotted line its normal line which you can see.

Dotted line is not exported correctly form Indesign to pdf

My dotted lines do not export as exactly round dots but with kind of "erroded" outlines. Has anyone encountered the same problem yet? How can I solve it? I used the "export for high res print preset". Thanx!

With "manually", Bob meant you cannot do it in InDesign (which must make it as good as 'manual', in his opinion ).
Using Acrobat Pro, all you have to do is open the PDF and start the Forms Wizard. It's the top item under the Forms menu. You'll be amazed at how well it does:
All I did was start the wizard and hit "OK"!
(hey! that image was supposed to end up inbetween! jive editor showing a tantrum, again.)

Simple dotted line?

I have stroke chosen. I have dotted chosen, this is in CS4. I chose rounded caps. I chose 1 pt stroke and 1 pt gap with stroke 1 pt. I use the pen tool or the line segment tool and draw it. No dotted line. I try selecting it. I only get a regular line. I really can't figure it out. The line segment or pen tool doesn't see the setting. Why does it have dash gap dash gap dash gap 3 times? So you can change the pattern. I only want........................... just like that.
thanks, when I have the stroke selected as dashed why doesn't my pen tool do it?

First you go to the appearance panel and there is a fly out menu from the upper right make sure that New Art Has Basic Appearance is unchecked.
Then the first thing you should understand is that one point is very fine and at fit to screen magnification you might not see the dotted line with the specs you have stated.
Then to understand how to make dot with the dash option might not sound at first logical to you but it actually is logical.
You choose the round end cap as you did but you only need to end caps to make a dot so you simply give it a dash of "0".
That means you have to give more than 1 pt gap and the round end points extend beyond the end point of each dash a .5 pt on each side leaving no real gap so the setting has to be 2 pt.
If you gave it a stroke of two then the end caps are still "0" but the gap is 4pt.

We cross posted i think it is because the line is to thin for OP to notice that it is dotted.

Dotted line not working on stroke with a 0pt dash

I'm having a problem created a dotted line in Illustrator CS5 using the technique of selecting a dashed stroke and setting the dash length to 0pt.
Instead of dots, I'm getting dashes with rounded ends as shown in the image below.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but, please, let me know what it is.

I can't remove the second 0pt for dash. Once anythiong has been entered into this field, I can then only set it to 0pt.
The second part of your answer works (as a work around I guess). Thanks very much for that, I just didn;t think of it.
Why is it that I can't delete the entry in the second dash field? I select it, delete, press enter, but when I open the stroke panel, it's there as 0pt. If I select it, delete it, then tab to the next field, it fills it in with 0pt.

IPhoto 6-photo are gone, just dotted lines. info is still there.

I was working on macbook pro on airplane with an external HD where my iPhoto library is kept. My battery ran out so I closed the laptop and disconnected the ext. HD until I got home. After turning on the laptop at home, the computer opened up to iPhoto still open and images showing. Only I had forgotten to connect the ext. HD yet. I believe I closed the program and connected the ext. HD and reopened iPhoto. This time all the photo images were not displayed, only dotted lines where they would have been. This was true for the thumbnail and the large image. The info box still showed the correct file name and size etc. but no image. What happened and how do I fix this? I did go to the finder and iphoto library and found that I could see the images there, so they shouldn't be gone. Just need to know what to do so iphoto can see them all. Thanks
Jon

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
