Imported png with transparency not working as mask

I created an image with several wavey lines in photoshop to
use as a mask layer in Flash. I "save for web" as a png with
transparency. I import it to Flash and when it is on the stage it
is indeed transparent. But when I go to use it as a mask it masks
the entire rectangle of its dimensions, not just the waves. I trade
breaking it down and converting it to a symbol but no go. What am I
missing here?

Images are rectangle or square, even if you have transparency
or not, the entire image will be a mask.
The way you must work is usign vectorial shape as mask. You
can do it directly in Flash or use illustrator to build you shape
and then import it in Flash "Copy paste or export as swf". I know
that you have several wavey lines in photoshop. So, to keep them,
you have 3 possibilities.
1- Simply use path in Photoshop and export them into
Illustrator set them a color and use it in Flash
or
2- Import your image in Flash, then use the Trace Bitmap
option (Modify / Bitmap / Trace Bitmap)
or
3- Import you PNG in Illustrator and Convert it into shape
usign the Live Trace option.
These 3 way works great, depending on the complexity of you
graphics, each one have its own advantages

Compound clip with transparency not working?

I have a compound clip that starts with a Cross Dissolve, on the timeline of the compound clip itself. I thought this would show through that the clip beneath it, but it doesn't. It dissolves up from black rather than the clip beneath it. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
It is a title sequence that I want to reuse in several places. The layering requires the dissolve to be in the compound clip itself. I can probably rebuild it in Motion, but I was hoping to get this to work.

Sure. Here is a look inside the comound clip:
The top track is an animation of a piece that slides into place. I dont want it to dissolve, but I do want the lower track to dissolve. That dissolve is what I can not get to show transparency.

DB Adaptor import table option does not work with the AS400 DB

1. The DB Adaptor import table option does not work with the IBM i-series(AS/400) tables(Both in ESB and BPEL).
2. Also I was not able to import tables from multiple databases into
the same BPEL project.

Both of these issues work in preview version. My earlier posting was based on beta version testing.

Black PNGS with transparent BGs arent showing up

I am using iPhoto to organize my digital scrapbooking graphics. Problem is that the majority are png with transparency. When I imported them, all of the transparent portions of the images appeared in black, so many of them just look like black squares, because it's a black image on transparent background.
Is there any way to get the png to look normal or is this a flaw in iPhoto. Is there a way to change the background of the thumbnail to gray?
Thank you for any help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's not a flaw but just the nature of the beast. iPhoto is set to display transparent backgrounds as black. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Is it possible to save PNG with transparency to Camera Roll?

I've had a user contact me saying that the pictures he creates save as JPG and because they are JPG they lose transparency. I looked at the code I'm using and it's CameraRoll.addBitmapData(bitmapData). I could find no other options or parameters. He also said it is highly compressed JPG as well. If it's not supported (although I thought it was in an earlier version??) is there a work around!?

It isn't really limited due to an iOS issue, just that Adobe chooses to not add PNG with transparency support. I completely disagree with the premise that this should be limited just because on iOS Photo Album doesn't display PNGs with transparency accurately. There are dozens of existing iOS apps now passing around and creating PNGs with transparency (and viewing them properly).
As far as Android, I implemented this myself just using the builtin BitmapData.encode support for creating PNG format ByteArray, and just saving directly to the filesystem a .png file since Android (unlike iOS) allows it.
To make that process clean with the rest of the Android eco-system, you will probably want to include two additional ANE based features (or choose to roll your own ANE that combines everything)...
The two extra steps as far as ANE support is:
1) an ANE that will trigger a refresh of the Android Gallery (or some base directory more exactly) when the filesystem underneath it has changed if you write to the filesystem directly, there are a few ANEs that do this out there like:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6092838
2) In newer versions of Android, different users get different mapped 'home dirs' for Pictures so you really don't want to just write to some common /mnt/sdcard folder and hope for the best.
The proper base directory to save Pictures to on Android with the newer APIs is to call (on the native Java side):
File path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory( Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
Just wrapping that returned directory location above from Java with an ANE, will guarantee you are always working with the proper base directory for the current runtime user in Android.
I don't know if any ANE out there has added that 'Public Pictures Directory' function above but it is a trivial function call, and you could even just tack this on as an additional API function on whatever RefreshGallery ANE you grab (with source code of course)

Next time you open the photos application hold down both of the keys suggested and then launch the application in the usual way. If you do this you will be presented with the opportunity to repair your library.

Import job RSI_IMPORT_CCMS_JOBS is not working in Redwood Cronacle

Hi,
We are facing problems in the redwood cronacle, where in the standard import job RSI_IMPORT_CCMS_JOBS is not working. When ever we are running the script, the status of the import job goes to waiting and never gets completed. When its killed and re-run it again moves to waiting status.
Cronacle version : 7.0.4.2. Hope some one will help me out to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Arun Raghavan

Hi,
as mentioned by Anton in his previous post, the import of abaps and variants is a kind of nice to have that CPS does for you. The import of abap and variant data enables CPS to create a Script with the defaults all set and ready for you to submit. Having this data in CPS also means that when you submit your CPS SAP Script the parameter values for instance,client, abap,variant will only be a valid combination. If you remove the Script Parameter constraints for your CPS Script then you can submit your own Script (using a copy of RSI_ABAP_RUN or RSI_ABAP_RUN_PRINT but with the param constraints removed) with whatever values you like. If you enter a valid combination the SAP job will run. If invalid you'll get an error when trying to submit in SAP. Obviously the parameter constraints ideally are there to prevent this second scenario.
In terms of why the import of variants seems to hang; you haven't got variants begining with '&' have you? CPS doesn't like these 'dynamic' variants. I have had problems in the past where this is the case.

Simon

How do i save a .png with transparent background? cannot find in help

With what program are you working and with what version of the program and on what computer operating system?
I suspect that you are working with some version of Photoshop Elements. If that is correct, then be advised that some how
your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing) instead of the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (photo editing).
If Photoshop Elements question, then please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator
here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
Photoshop Elements
Thought....if are creating an image on a transparent background in Photoshop Elements Windows for a Premiere Elements Windows project, then you Save As png or psd.
Please clarify if I have misinterpreted your question.
Thank you.

Export to png with transparancy

hey, can this be done?
export to png with transparent background
even setting the background of the slide to "none" doesn't work
if you can't achieve this, does anyone have any ideas how I could do a workaround?
cheers, D

Ahh, I read this and thought you required the export. You essentially want to take an image from Keynote into some other application WITH transparency, correct? If so, you may want to take a look at Skitch.
http://www.plasq.com/skitch -currently in public beta as a free download
You could copy the items as you're currently doing, then open Skitch and paste them in. Your objects will appear with a white background. Next, click the color well at the bottom of the colors on the right hand side in order to bring up the color palette. Change the opacity to Zero, then hold down Shift, while clicking in the color well. The background is dropped out and you have full transparency. You can even use Skitch to resize the image to exactly the size you want it to be. Click and drag the tab and to export at that size.

Recommend an image editor that has a magic wand tool to delete white background and save as PNG with transparency

Hi Everybody,
I need an iPad app that can open an image and has a Magic Wand-type tool so I can select white background around a subject. Then delete the white areas so it becomes transparent. Then save as a PNG with transparency. I've tried Pixelmator...I can select the white but I can not delete the white. I downloaded Photoshop Express...no magic wand tool.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks,
Gary

It's a shame you don't have Mac. The feature is built in the system (in Preview, Pages, etc).
That makes me think: this feature should be in the iPad iWork apps too (Pages and keynote): check out this guide: http://www.cultofmac.com/256475/knock-out-those-backgrounds-instant-alpha-hidden -in-pages-for-ipad-ios-tips/

For the last few weeks I have had constant problems with pages not working. I.E.: I cannot fill in writeable fields, click on buttons... or anything... nothing on the page works.

Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

Are those for whick they do not work (users or workstations) all in the

In what way do they not work?
Any errors?
