Irregular slice issue

I am fairly new to web design and struggling a bit to put flash into the off-white background area. My issue seems to be with "slicing". Can you slice the white area and replace with flash or is PS unable to irregularly slice?

You could make a slice which includes the overhanging blob but first turn off the background layers so only the header remains on a transparent background. Next, save for web and devices as png-8 which will include the transparency.
Alternatively, you could construct the overhanging header using CSS instead of a graphic. A rough mock-up is shown here: http://jsfiddle.net/4MuUe/7/
Whichever route you go, be sure to browser-test the layout (which I haven't done with this mock-up). A quick web search shows there is a whole can of worms with cross-browser support for z-index and flash object embedding. Some of them can be fixed by adding "wmode" "opaque" to the parameters, but I'd need to do more research to give you a full answer.

Slices Issue

I believe my issue has something to do with page tiling or page setup of some sort. When I go to make a slice it is like I am hitting a boundary that won't allow the slice to be the size I want it to be. The artwork is inside the art box but there seams to be some sort boundary inside the art box that won't allow me to make my slices. How do I stop this and be able to slice what I want. I tired hide bounding box and page setup but its not working. HELP!

Set your document settings to 72dpi. Sounds like you are working at print resolution and exceed the pixel dimensions supported by the web tools.

T3+ volume slice issue

I have two new T3+ arrays setup as separate systems
Both have the same issue. Both have the latest advised release of the T3+ firmware.
I set them to be a Raid 1+0 mirror (4 drives mirrored
to 4 drives) with striping across all "4" drives. The nineth drive is a hot spare.
I then setup the new Volume Slicing and divided the large 250GB or so virtual disk into muliple 36 GB virtual subdrives. The last "subdrive" in the T3 falls short and ends up being around 24GB. I fdisked all the drives and broke them into standard slices for what I need.
I rebooted my solaris 9 ue420 and it sees all the "drives". I can format all the 36GB drives. When I format the 24GB drive, I get back an error message about mismatching disk geometry and the format aborts. The format on any subdrive never takes more than a second
because the T3 basically overrides the function, but usually I can do a worst case verify on the subdrives
Obviously what the T3 controller is reporting back to
the OS does not match what the drives geometry
really is and things dont match right.
I am trying to avoid the software overhead on my UE420 of Veritas or Online Disksuite volume managers for these arrays and want to have the
sparc processor in the T3 handle all the mirroring and volume slicing of the 72GB drives in these arrays.
Anyone seen this type of issue before with a volume slices T3 array?
(this has also been cross posted on the Talk to the sysop forum. apologies in advance for the redundancy)

Bought my T3 about a year ago, and now i have this horrible volume fluctuation problem going on.. So I really wouldnt recommend buying it, even though the sound from the speakers is pretty good.
My last pair of creative speakers had the volume knob problem, this set of speakers has the knob problem. Last time i will ever buy creative speakers because you can forget about support fixing it...

Export Problem ? Slices issue? Rollovers stopped working

Hi, I'm new to prototyping in FW and running into a bit of a problem. My prototype was designed and working well in FW, I then went into make all the final "clean up" changes so it exported well. Organized loose ends and sliced up everything, it seems as soon as I finished all that none of my icons were working correctly. I had simple rollover on some and image swap on others. Now everything previews completely static and I don't know what the deal is? I've messed with it enough and now SOME pages are behaving correctly and some are not, but the menu is shared from the same index page anyway so it makes no sense to me? Also on the pages that are working "kind of" I've fixed how they behave probably 50 times, save and it seems like at some point it reverts back to what it was doing previously? SO frustrating. The weird thing is that some of these issues I'm having seem rather random so it's pretty hard for me to figure out what the problem is. Does my lack of function have anything to do with my slices/hotspots everywhere? My design is kind of round so they do over lap in spots? I would appreciate any help - I want to throw the thing out the window!!
Oona

ok, so I've fixed a bunch of the things I'd fixed before, but it seems to be good for now. I saved a normal copy and a backup copy so hopefully when I close the program at least one of them will be intact! lol It looks like the issue with the rollover was slices ontop of slices. I changed my images on the nav bar to hotspots and then my buttons (which are sliced, obviously) on top seemed to be functioning correctly now. So I guess I got it figured out ~

Excel Services Timeline Slicer Issue

Hello,
I am experiencing a very weird error. I have an Excel 2013 workbook which connects to a tabular model on SQL Server 2012 SP1.
There are 3 slicers, (one being a timeline slicer) connected to 2 pivots in this workbook. I host the workbook on Sharepoint 2013 using a web part. Everything was working fine until I upgraded the tabular model server SQL Server 2012 to SP1. I
updated the compatibilty of the model to SP1 and redeployed my model to the server.
When I open the workbook on my laptop all slicers work fine. When I open the workbook through excel services and I use the slicers which are NOT the timeline slicer I get the below error:
"An error occurred while attempting to perform this operation. Reload th eworkbook and then try to perform this operation again".
Whats weird is the Date timeline slicer still works but the other slicers throw the above error when used.
If I remove the timeline slicers connections to the pivot tables all slicers work fine in excel services. Except I cant use the timeline slicer because its not connected.
I have rebuilt the entire workbook using a new connection and I still get the same results. I have rebuilt the DateDim in the tabular model in hopes this would help....nope. I have created a regular slicer pointed to the date dim and that will work...its
only when I connect the Timeline slicer do I get an error.
Any guidance would be awesome.
Thanks!

I figured it out. Try, Opening the linked pivots "Pivot table options" and navigating to the "Totals and Filters" tab. Make sure the box "Allow multiple filters per field" is ticked. This should fix it.
For some reason if you have the timeline slicer your pivots need to have this checked or else Excel Services will give you the above error.
Hope it helps!

How do I get remove unwanted RAID slices?

I have two 300GB firewire drives. I have them configured as a mirrored RAID set. One drive failed and the RAID volume went into a degraded status. I replaced the drive, peformed a rebuild, and the drive is part of the the mirrored RAID set again and working properly - I can see both drives working in sync when I do reads/writes.
However, the disk utility shows the mirrored RAID still in a degraded status. I noticed that I have an extra slice now (Number of Slices: 3) and my assumption is that the RAID logic thinks I'm supposed to have another disk in this configuration. How do I fix this? Is there a safe way for me to remove this extra slice so it does how a degraded status any more?
Help with this is greatly appreciated.

Selecting a specific slice

What I have done so far is :
1. Open a jpg file
2. click slice tool
3. mouse right click on the image
4. choose divide slice
5. divide horizontally into 3, vertically into 4, click OK
What I want to do next is, to select the slice no.6 region, so that
the result should look like :
Concentrating much on the slice lines, and zooming in 800% I could achieve this by rectangular marquee tool. But this method is not effective nor elaborate.
Is there a smart way to select(=rectangular marquee) a specific slice ?
Thank you!

Class.forName1(Native Method)

Hi all,
We are experiencing an irregular memory issue and the Java stack trace is throwing a line:

"scripts" are entirely different from GUI applications. What do you expect to happen when you run a Swing application through telnet on another machine? Do you expect the Swing UI to be magically transported to the local Windows machine?
Not gonna happen. Yes, like ejp hinted, you could run an X-environment on your local machine and have the Swing UI tunnel its output there, but are you sure you want GUI apps to run on a remote machine like that? It's not gonna be fun to work with, I'll tell you that.
Why not create a Java WebStart app (or perhaps even an applet) out of your application, so your users can run the application locally?

2 state button from layers!?!

Hi guys,
I'm quite an amateur in fireworks so excuse me if my
questions seems silly.
So my problem is that I'm building a website and I have 2
states for my menu buttons imported from .psd file - normal and
when button is pressed. These two conditions of the buttons are in
different layers.
I've tried to make slices of each button but when I slice the
entire menu these sub-slices become fictitious and FW doesn't
export the buttons as separate images from the menu. And still I
have image as I've only sliced the menu only :(
I appreciate any help

Right - I never do it that way, though.
I always select and then right click on the slice. Call me
quirky, but it
works. 8)

GT725 - BIOS mod request

Hi Guys ! here's the deal , i just upgraded to a Q9200 and would like to use turbo to OC it , is it possible through a bios mod ?
Or , mod the current GT725 bios so that i can use setfsb , XTU (if possible) and so on.
+ Options to change multipliers , memory frequency , voltage and so on same as a desktop counterparts (if possible).
Only mod the GT725 bios though as there's some SLIC issues using the barebone or other 1722 ID2.
PS: donation is on the menu for a full working version. Thanks

There is a solution:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/hardware-components-aftermarket-upgrades/489140-how-unlock-core-2-extreme-multiplier-windows.html
That is the only program which can change the multi in windows without any BIOS support.
As long as you have an extreme CPU (like the Q9200) you can increase the multi.
This program also lets you change the voltage.
If you need to change your ram frequency and timings use thaiphoon burner.
have fun..

Machines losing connection to the Network

We are experiencing some irregular network issues whereby we have 2 G4 Mirror Door Desktops acting at servers (10.3.9) and a variety of Powerbook G4s and Macbook Pro's (10.4.x) which are continually dropping off the network sporadically. Apart from these two desktop servers, all the machines affected are laptops strangely enough.
Firewall is not enabled on the Macs.
The Macs lose all network connectivity including printing, internet connection and server connection.
I have tested pinging to and from the Macs and the results are always as though they are off the network. The Macs can however ping itself indicating it can see a network. Whe you remove the machine from the network and re-add it, the IP address range is 169.x.x.x. This is because by default, Apple allocates the user with an IP range so far off the network that its indicating it can see a connection (ie ethernet card and cable) but cannot see the network.
To get the machine back on the network, you need to remove and re-add the network cable to get connection again. We looked into every possibility inclusing Firewall or DNS issues.
We have compared the switches and vLANs and they are all the same; we have checked that Appletalk is broadcasting correctly through the switch; we have added the machines with a static IP address (servers have static IP addresses anyway)and the machines still drop off; we have altered DHCP lease renewal to a longer period and it still dropped off; removed Appletalk from a machine and it still dropped off.

It may be a 'typo' by you, but forget about 'appletalk' - this is not relevant to your problem (and pretty well redundant now). This looks like a TCP/IP issue.
What is doing your DHCP? Presumably you have checked to ensure that there is only the one dhcp server in your network, and another has not accidentally been enabled (on a server, router or airport). What is the dhcp range for the DHCP server?
Your post suggested that the servers, with static IPs, also 'drop off' the network. So a server IP cannot be pinged from a lan machine which has a correct IP assigned to it (rather than one which has a 169 address which obviously will not be able to ping it) ?
On your laptops, when connected via an ethernet cable, have a look at Network Prefs-> Show: Network Port Configurations. In what order are these? Specifically, I am wondering if Airport is getting prioritised above Built-in Ethernet and maybe there is a 'rogue' airport network which the laptops discover and attempt to join ahead of built-in ethernet.

Slicer Time Dimension Issue with Cube Functions

Hi,
Hoping someone can help me figure out right approach here.
Summary:
Using Excel 2013 connected to a SSAS cube as data source, and cube functions with slicers to create a dashboard.
Have following time dimension slicers; Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, Fiscal Month, Fiscal Week & Date, that are used to slice data based on user selection, along
with a sales measure.
Below is example of Slicer name and CubeMember function for each:
Slicer_Fiscal_Year:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Year].&[2015]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Quarter:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Quarter].[All]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Month:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Month].&[201408]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Week:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Week].&[201509]")
Slicer_Date:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Date].[All]")
Problem:
What I am trying to do is to build a table with cube functions that takes the lowest grain of the slicer time dimension selected, shows the current member, plus
the prior 7 so I can have an 8 period trending view table that I will build a chart from. In the above example that would mean that it would look at Slicer_Fiscal_Week since that is lowest grain that has an attribute other than All, and then show me the prior
7 periods. In this case 201509 means Week 9, so I would want to show in table Week 9 back to Week 2. But if Slicer_Fiscal_Week was set to All, along with Slicer_Date, then Fiscal Month would be lowest grain, so I would want to show Fiscal Months from August
(201408) back to January 2014. I know how to use CubeRankedMember to pull the value from what is selected in the slicer, the problem is figuring out how to pass the lowest grain time dimension so that I can use lag or some other MDX function to get the previous
periods.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Issue exporting slices from different pages

I'm an experienced Fireworks user, and love the new pages
function, but have found what I consider to be a bug.
I have about 70 graphics that I need to have trimmed in one
direction but not the other. Since I can't do this with layers
(Adobe should REALLY consider adding this as a feature for
exporting by layers, imo - currently exporting by layer only allows
trimming in both directions or no trim) I'm using pages - each page
has a single layer with multiple objects, and a single slice. This
is great, except for one giant bug: when I try to export "images
only" + "selected slices only" and deselect "this page only", it
uses the page name for the exported graphic, not the slice name. If
I export all the pages, the slice names are used. This is a big
issue for us, since exporting by layers or exporting slices using
pages is a HUGE help in repetitive image production (but only when
it works right).

Irregular N97 Mini screen issue?

I have had my N97 Mini for nearly two years. In that time, it has been a fairly trouble-free device. A few times it has seized, had some issues, and about 18 months ago the touch screen stopped working -- but it was repaired, and I have had no issues since. Until now.
About a week ago, my phone's screen started behaving oddly. I can't really describe it -- the display would overwhelm with static, it would distort irregularly... to describe the visuals, it looked a lot like interference. Flashes of green, things like that. I could, at times, see my homescreen background. But it would disappear as quickly as it came.
Even now, it is still responsive; the phone charges, responds to USB connection, and when I swipe the screen I can feel the vibrations of my homescreen content. When I flip it out, the keys still light up. Everything works fine.
I have not dropped my phone.
About a week or so prior to these complications, it was raining; a couple of droplets go on the screen but I cleaned them away. As far as I know, the phone was relatively dry; though if it was water damage, would it have responded sooner than a week after the phone was touched by water?
I honestly don't know what its problem is, how to fix it, what to do. Any suggestions or likely causes?

Suggest you to back-up your important data as soon as possible (if not yet done...) before something drastic happens. The effects of water damaged can be immediate to over a period of few monts, depending on how much water has gone inside and what parts were directly affected ... Get the phone inspected at Nokia care if you want but preferably opt for a new phone ...
