Illustrator CC: trouble adding gradient inner glow for states on a vector map

I'm trying to figure out how to make gradient borders for countries on a vector map in Illustrator. I'm aiming for something like this: but with the gradient borders being more pronounced, a stronger gradient for borders. Can this be done in Illustrator and what would be the correct effect to use?
I tried using the Stylize Inner Glow effect but the problem is that I get this result:
Not sure why this occurs, but the any layer I apply an inner glow to suddenly looks blocky or no longer smooth:
Thanks very much in advance for any help with this.

Check your Document Raster Effects and probably set to 300 ppi. Easiest way is to use Object>Path>Offset path with a negative number. Then Object>Expand and set the fill for the lightest version of the color. Then make a blend between the two versions of the path.

Adding gradients to actions??

Hi
Does anyone have any advice/tips for adding Gradients into an action in Illustrator please (CS5)? I've been searching but not really found an answer.
I've got the Gradient to work within the Action process, but it's not abiding by the attributes. The colours are fine, but the angle isn't being set – even though is does show the correct angle in the Action step in the panel. I need the Gradient to be at 90º to default, but it won't do it.
I've tried adding as a Graphic Style, but that didn't work either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Ben

Sorry, as said, I've tried that. Didn't work!

Trouble adding drop shadows to buttons

I am creating DVD menus for the first time in Encore CS4. I want the (=1) version of the buttons -- when you put the cursor over them-- to have a drop shadow so I added one in my Photoshop file. But the effect does not appear when I preview it in my Encore project. And when I tried to add it within Encore, it wouldn't let me. (The "drop shadow" option appeared gray and un-clickable.)
Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do? If so, any ideas how?

Unfortunately, there are grave limitations, regarding what can be part of a Sub-picture Highlight. It can ONLY be 8-bit color on a DVD, and can ONLY have one level of Transparency/Opacity.
There are some workarounds, such as duplicate Menus, linked from an Auto-Activate Button, but in your case, you might get what you want from some tips in this ARTICLE. It starts with "Punching a Hole in Sub-Picture Highlights," but does cover adding a "Glow," that appears to be a Gradient. It is not, but rather looks like it is. You could substitute that Gradient Glow for your Drop Shadow.
Good luck, and hope that it helps,

New Zen trouble adding a memory card (not seen)?

0New Zen trouble adding a memory card (not seen)?8I have a new zen 4gb unit and love it, saw it has a memory card slot so i stuck an 8gb sdhc sandisk 3 extreme memory card in there, figured I could dump more fun stuff in there on it but when i use the zen explorer i don't see that card.
I formatted the sdhc card in fat 32 and named it sd4zen yet when its in the zen and i check my computer I am not seeing the card in the windows menus to drag stuff over onto for the zen nor is it showing in any of the zen media explorer areas.
Do i need to dump stuff onto the memory card externally (thru a card reader first) then insert it and access that thru the memory part of the zen menu, or are the zens not able to read from an sdhc sd card or is 8 gb too big (compatability)?
Thanks for any help on this,
Bill

I am a dork, a few mins messing with it i realized in the main menu of the zen with the card inserted hit removable disk and hook up via usb, now my computer sees the sd4zen dri've and i can dump more fun stuff for zen on there...
Sorry to take up space maybe someone will read this and help them with the same issue i was having or mods if you choose just delete.

Trouble adding comments using Reader X from enabled comments in Acrobat 9

I am a Technical Writer with Acrobat 9. Regularly I make my documents comment enabled for reader. IT has been updating systems and some of my recipients now have Reader X. Because of the difficulty they have, when they open the commentable PDF they are having trouble adding comments and wind up printing the document, marking up the hard copy, scanning it and emailing it back. What am I doing wrong? Is Reader X not downward compatible? We want to move forward with technology, not backwards.

Right click the document opened in Reader X and then click "Select Tool".
Hope that helps.
Thanks,

PSE 8 (Mac) Inner glow color change?

Hello, new here!
I made a rounded shape on a layer, gave it a pale blue color.
In the effects palette I gave it a Simple Inner Glow.
Now I wish to to give a larger size to the effect and change the standard given color (pale yellow) to a black.
To do so, I select the layer (rounded shape) , I double-click on the "fx" symbol on that layer and this opens up the style setting.
Now I increase the size button and all works well, the size increases to my taste.
Now, I wish to change the (pale yellow) color to a black.
I click on it (the little yellow square) and the "Select inner glow color palette" opens up
and I select a black color, press OK and WHAT HAPPENS?
The Inne Glow effect completely disappears...$#&?%$*&#
I tried different colors and I end up with the same result...
Can someone please help me? Pretty please.
Thanks for your patience and help I hope.

Thank you Barbara B.

Having trouble adding purchased and imported music to my playlists

I'm having trouble adding purchased and imported music to my play lists. For example when I purchase or import new music to my playlists I have to re sync my ipod or the new songs don't appear on my playlists. Perhaps this is because I once unplugged my ipod w/out first disconnecting it. Previously when I purchased and imported music songs would appear on my play lists when I dragged them from purchased to playlist.

Remember to authorise your new machine with the Apple ID
Essentially copy the itunes folder and all sub folders over to the same place in the new computer.
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

Setting Inner HTML for spry elements

I am trying to set the inner HTML for an object that it says
has no properties. It seems to work in FF but not in IE.
Example:
Created an additional row that I put a '*' in column if it is
the clicked column representing the details section of the page.
(In other words, when clicking the sub region is based on the
clicked row. This row gets the left column of the clicked item
marked and the other rows cleared.)

Ah... found an alternative. There are two alternatives to the
interface for CSS styles.
rowHover and the one I just found, rowSelected. That is a
sufficient method of highlighting the currently selected row. I
just added a style to the CSS and it works great!

Adding an Apple ID for a B2B App

I'm having a bit of trouble adding an Apple ID to a B2B app in the pricing page for an iOS app. I was wondering if anyone could help?
These are the steps I tried
Creating a new bundle ID
Create a new app that uses this bundle ID
Go to the pricing page
Check the "Custom B2B App" check box
The extra information for volume purchase customers appears
I click "Add Apple ID"
The page reloads, with no new row visible to type in any new apple IDs.
So I'm a bit stuck.
Any ideas?

I am having the exact same problem, I have a question open on Stack Overflow for this as well.

Trouble adding GoodSearch HTML search box: HTML widget doesn't work...

I'm having trouble adding a GoodSearch search engine box to my site. I've tried the HTML widget thing and also editing the code after it publishes to a folder. Each time, I get a non-functional search box as my end result.
The GoodSearch tech person says that iWeb might be stripping out or corrupting the Javascript code...interestingly enough, a Google search box works just fine with post code tweaking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is a link to my test site where the search box (upper right corner) is non-functional: http://web.mac.com/toesproductions/KQ/Home.html
This is the GoodSearch code:

var openNewWindow = true;
var searchtype = document.getElementsByName("goodsearchsearchtype4");
var baseurl = "http://www.goodsearch.com/Search.aspx";
var keywordsbox = document.getElementById("goodsearchkeywords4");
if (typeof keywordsbox != "undefined")
var keywords = escape(keywordsbox.value);
var url = baseurl + "?Keywords=" + keywords;
if (charityid > 0)
url += "&CharityID=" + charityid;
if (searchtype[1].checked)
url += "&Site=" + escape(siteURL);
url += "&Partner=goodsearch_syn";
url += "&typetag=" + escape(siteURL);
if (openNewWindow)
window.open(url,'SearchResults','height=700,width=900,location=1,status=1,toolba

window.location.href = url;

var key1 = "13";
var x = "";
if (document.all)
var evnt = window.event;
x = evnt.keyCode;

iWeb does nothing to code you add in the HTML Snippet.
Actually, iWeb does not care what you put there. It blindly saves the code in a webpage.
http://web.mac.com/toesproductions/KQ//Homefiles/widget0markup.html
So, now you have no excuse.
Just edit the code in the file above until it works.
After that, copy the code in the BODY of the page and paste in into the HTML Snippet. Otherwise it will overwrite the webpage next time you publish.

Trouble adding toolbars

I am trying to switch from IE8 to Firefox but am having trouble adding all of the toolbars I use daily to Firefox. I want to add CouponBar from Coupons.com, Roboform (which it said was added, but is not showing up), Adobe Contribute CS3, and Canon Easy-Web Print EX (for my Canon MX340 printer). Please advise!

For Roboform you can install the adapter for Firefox from here.
http://www.roboform.com/browsers.html
You want the one under '''Firefox, Mozilla and Netscape'''.
Browser Version XPI file to use if not installed automatically
'''Firefox 3.0 - 3.7a1pre ''Installed Automatically (roboform-firefox-3.0-frozen.xpi)'''''
Or, you can install it with this link:
http://www.roboform.com/dist/roboform-firefox-3.0-frozen.xpi
As far as the other three programs you mentioned, check the websites for those programs to see if they even have a toolbar that is made for Firefox.
