In need of CS5 Actions help

Last week I was trying to set my actions up to be in button mode and was trying to categorize them and so forth. I dont remember exactly what all I did, but I ended up really messing up my actions - here are the issues.
*Some actions that I try to play want to bring up dialog boxes(if applicable) for each step in that action - but did not do this before. Or it will stop (even when there is no stop inserted in the action) and wont continue to play.
* Actions that I created no longer work properly. For example, I created a "studio action" to play on all my images that I shoot in my studio. This action contained a step using a plug-in, and then about 3 other steps using other actions that I had purchased to use. When I would have a studio image, I could press play, it would process each step in that action without stopping, and then I could adust any un-flattened layers at the end. After my attempt at Button Mode, when I went back to having the Actions in a regular list, that action would no longer play each step. So I deleted it and tried to recreate that same action, but it wont record some steps/actions in the new action set I am trying to create.
*In trying to create a new action set, some actions/steps wont record, but previously had before trying to switch to button mode.
My computer is a pc and I have the windows 7 operating system. I am using PS CS5 and have updated it with the patch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this has now slowed down my editing process

You don't record a new action set you create one and when you do you name it and its empty ther is nothing in it to play. Once created you can record or copy or move actions into it.
"and use an action from this group"
Use what action what is the group your writting about?
"it will not record it in the new set."
I don't under stand you record a new action by highlighting an action set then click on the new acyion icon. You name the new action and click on record or yourecord into an existing action by highlighting the step in an action you want to record steps after and clicking on the record button.
" I have deleted the action set that I had previously created (and used to work just fine) "
that is what I ask you to post not delete.
"so I am trying to create a new action set. namely the midtone lifter and magical contrast are ones I am trying to use in the new action that I am creating."
" Does that make sense? "
Yes and No. Some of what you wrote shows your lack of knowledge. When you move things adround and delete(unload loaded actoion set) things can become broken. Your not going to fix you problems without learning a bit.
Yes you can not attach files here you must upload them to a service like you send it and include a link to it in you append using the link icon.

CS5 Action help

I am trying to create an action that will make multiple thumbnails of the same image and apply actions to each one to create a kind of contact sheet. I want to do this in order to see what different saved adjustments will look like on the same picture. Has anyone heard of something similar or any suggestions as to how this could work?

And what have you tried so far? You need to be more specific.

Flash CS5 Button Help

To start, I'm a total newbie in Flash, so I'm sorry if what I'm asking is ridiculously primitive, but I was literally thrown into this blindfolded and I'm using google and several forums to help me out.
What I'm doing: redesigning a website. At the moment, the website has a flash file that introduces it's logo and subcategories of its' website on the top of the page. What I wanted to do was make sure there was a hyperlink on the logo that would bring anyone back to the homepage, very basic stuff. The issue I have run into is that the logo is actually a flash movie. Different parts of the logo appear at different times, and I think this is what is specifically causing me issues.
The logo that I want to hyperlink has several layers, and what I've done so far is select them all and create a button (F8, select 'Button' and rename it). When I did that, I noticed the layers significantly changed and when I tested the movie, it looks terrible, choppy and not how it originally looked.
I know the step after that is to go into behaviors and insert the url to which I want it to be hyperlinked. The only thing is that I don't want to show a terrible flash movie to my boss even if it's hyperlinked to the homepage.
Anyone understand all that gibberish I wrote down? Or does anyone see a flaw in what I'm doing? I'm not 100% positive if the steps I'm taking are correct, I've been to several different sites, all of which tell me to do different things.
Initially I tried coding it with ActionScript, but I was having terrible issues with that as well.
If it helps, the file I'm working on was altered a while back. Could it be that the file is not compatible or proper for Flash CS5?
Help!!!

... how do I give that shape/button a url?
Since it is a button, it is already a self animating object that will react to mouse interactions, but only visually at this stage. The first thing you need to do to make it useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name. So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it. You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req);
... how do I know it's properly placed on the correct area?
What area? If you place it where you want it, that should be correct. (?)
... how do I make sure it's invisible...?
If you can't see it when you test the file and you know it's there and your cursor turns into a hand when you are over where it should be, it's invisible.
...how do I see the other objects in the flash file I'm working on?
Select Edit -> Edit Document to get out of the symbol editing mode and back to the file editing mode. If you doubleclick an object on the stage, rather than clickingit in the library, you open it up in editing mode on the stage, but the stage and everything else will still be visible behind it in a faded tone.

How does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?

CS6 installation, which was uneventful, has transferred none of my actions from my copy of CS5. The CS5 actions are located in the actions folder of the APPLICATION/PHOTOSHOP CS5/PRESETS/ACTIONS. The "actions" folder in application support/adobe in my library is empty, and has always been so.
Only the CS6 default actions are located in the same folder for CS6.
I use imac i7, lion.
Note that i also have CS3 and CS4 on my machine. This due to recent upgrade to CS5 and recent upgrade to LION, and my general paranoia.
Must i load each action into CS6, one at a time?
thanks to any and all.

Re: how does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?
On a Mac - There are multiple ways to do this. I have done them both ways. In order to do this you need to know where you have your actions stored, and you can move them all at once if you have them stored in the same location.
1. You can load an action ONE AT TIME into your actions palette by:
     A. Open up the action palette and click on the little arrow with 4 little horizontal lines next to it on the upper right corner of the actions palette.
     B. Select "Load Actions" and a Finder window will open up and you can search your computer through this window for your actions.
     C. Click on the action from the Finder window then click 'Open' at the bottom right of the finder window.
     D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens- click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the          actions are currently stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window. I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
2. TO MOVE MULTIPLE ACTION SETS AT ONCE
     A. Open up CS6 (or CS5) and move the Photoshop workspace it to the right side of your computer screen so you can see your desktop on the left side.
     B. Open up your Finder search window from your dock (the square blue head icon thingy for those who are new to photoshop). Move this to the left side of your screen so you can see the Photoshop work space on the right and the Finder window          on the left. In the Finder window, navigate to the file where all your actions are stored, select all the actions in the file (command+A will select everything in the file if you are actively inside the open file) or you can select multiple files           individually by continuously holding down the command key and clicking on the different actions you want to move.
     C. With the Photoshop workspace visible on the right, and the actions palette open so you can see that the actions actually transferred - In the Finder window, click the selected actions you want to load and drag them over to the Photoshop           workspace. I did this without an image open, I just dragged them onto the empty workspace. The actions should all appear immediately in the actions palette that is open.
     D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the           actions are stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window. I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
I hope this helps.
and I hope there are no typos.

Have you tried using Image Processor or Image Processor Pro instead of Batch?

1 Auth. Object - 2 TCodes - Need 2 different actions?

Hello All,
I have 2 transactions ( IDX1 & IDX2) which works with authorization code "S_IDOCMETA". I need to have different access levels set for these two transactions. For example, I need only display access for IDX1 tcode and I need full access for tcode IDX2. How shall I go about it. As its only one auth. object if I give full action, both tcodes are getting effected. Thanks in advance. Any help will be rewarded.
Regards,
Farooq.

Hi,
First the easier method.
Create two separate roles for these two transactions and add necessary auth values in the S_IDOCMETA. But the problem with this method is that once u assign both the roles to the end users then they will again end up having higher access for the two authorizations avaialable for S_IDOCMETA.
Second method is using custom auth object in place of S_IDOCMETA having all the fields of it and a field TCD transaction code in addition and place a check for this auth object in the transaction codes this is another solution which might be useful but u need to take the help of a ABAPER to get this done..
Hope this helps

Dynamic Creation of Buttons and Actions HELP

Hi there,
I have got a problem (or maybe even two) with the dynamic Creation of buttons. The code below creates the buttons.
My main problem is, that the parameter created for the button's action isn't propagated to the assigned event handler. I get a null, though the name of the parameter in the event handler and the name of the parameter added to the action are the same.
Could it also be that I'm always using the same action? I.e. does wdThis.wdGetAddElementAction() always return the same action instance? If yes, how can I create individual actions for each button?
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers,
Heiko
"    for(int i=rootContainer.getChildren().length; i<wdContext.nodeFeature().size();i++)
               IPrivateVCT_Feature.IFeatureElement featureElement = wdContext.nodeFeature().getFeatureElementAt(i);
               IWDTray featureTray = (IWDTray) view.createElement(IWDTray.class, featureElement.getName());
               IWDCaption header = (IWDCaption) view.createElement(IWDCaption.class, featureElement.getName()+"_Header");
               header.setText(featureElement.getName());

               button.setText("Add Element");
               featureTray.addChild(button);

Hi Heiko,
You have done everything correctly....except for 1 line
in the code...
Replace the following line in your code:
actionAddElement.getActionParameters().addParameter("featureIndex", new Integer(i).toString());
Replace the above line with this code:
button.mappingOfOnAction().addParameter("featureIndex",i);
Actually in your code, you are not associating the parameter with the button...
Note that addParameter(...) comes with two signatures: addParameter(String param, String value) and addParameter(String param, int value). You can use any of them based on yuor need.
Hope it helps,
Thanks and Regards,

Need Illustrator CS5 from Creative Cloud

I need Illustrator CS5 from Creative Cloud, but the oldest previous version shown as being available for download in Creative Cloud right now is CS6. Does Adobe have this tucked-away somewhere such that I can still get it? Please help.

lenots,
You can only buy it from others than Adobe.
It is possible to find CS5 suites/applications that are claimed to be new and sealed, and thereby unregistered and unactivated, on eBay and maybe Amazon; if not, you are covered by their money back guarantee. The ultimate proof of its being genuine is that you can register it under your own Adobe ID.
It is also possible to buy a used suite/application, but then it is crucial that it has not been used as the basis for an upgrade to CS5.5 or CS6, and you will need to get a licence transfer from the currently registered owner according to Adobe, which may be complicated unless the seller is the original owner and has the original Adobe ID.
It must also be deactivated before you can use it; it is possible to get help from Adobe to have it deactivated.

Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

I assume you know where your catalogue file (the lrcat file) is located. In the same folder is a previews lrdata folder which you should delete or rename in Explorer, then start LR again.
If I've made incorrect assumptions above, sorry, and we'll go back over it from the start.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CANT DELETE MY APPLE ID I JUST GOT A NEW AND NO LONGER NEED THE OLD 1 HELP PLEASE

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CANT DELETE MY APPLE ID I JUST GOT A NEW AND NO LONGER NEED THE OLD 1 HELP PLEASE

As far as I know they can't be deleted, just remove any personal info from it (credit card details etc) and stop using it.
If you downloaded any content via it then you will need to remember it and it's password, as content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, so if you move to a new computer you'll need to authorise the account on it if you want to use any of its content there (or if you bought apps with it you'll only be able to download updates to them via that account)

It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit.   Please help.

I am a non profit. I ordered Photo shop Elements12 for PC for my office. It is a download only. It doesn't dowload on my computer. It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit.   Please help. The Adobe photoshop elements 12 is useless to me. I can't seem to get anyone at Techsoup to help and trying to get Adobe to help is runaround. What should I do to get it to run on my computer. Please someone in the forum let me know how switch out the download for the correct one.

64-bit windows can run 32-bit applications just fine and always has. They are just limited to a small amount of memory.   If something isn’t working it’s likely another problem like an incomplete download or trying to install the Mac version on a PC or something like that.
You can try downloading and installing from the PSE12 link, here, to see if it works any better:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
If you can’t get things to work, then please post a screenshot of the error and a description of what you’re trying to do that lead to the error.
Also the term “downloading” refers to transferring a file from a remote server, across the internet, to your local computer.   The term “install” means running the program that was downloaded on your local computer to put the working program on your computer that you can run.
It would be helpful to know if your saying that the actual transfer across the internet part isn’t working, or if that part seemed to work, but when you run that installer program you’re seeing an error.
