Is there a way to create a scrolling text box on my desktop?

When I watch the news, or ESPN, they always have a scrolling box that gives breaking news or updated scores.  I would like that for my desktop, but I want to type what goes in it.  I want the box to constantly be on top of anything I'm working on.
I thought this would be easy to find, but all of my research has been fruitless.
Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Does anyone know if theres a way to create ringtones for text messaging?

    There is no current support for that. If you like to give Apple feedback and request this, go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

    Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

  • Is there any way to create my own text tone?

    I love being able to make my own ringtones in garageband but I was wondering if there is anyway to make my own text tones.  That would be very nice to do.  I would assume that I can considering I can make my own ringtones.
    If anyone knows, please help. Thanks!

    Based on what wikipedia said for iOS 5 you will be able to purchase text tones. SO you will have to wait till then. Hopefully someone will release an app to create your own much like they have now.

  • Is there any way to keep a photo/text box  where you placed it after it is checked as inline, I have text wrapping around many photos-Pages seem to move the photos to the middle of the page and that will not do for my project.

    I have a book I want to sell as an EPUB when done...only one problem I got the message when doing so: " floating objects aren't supported in ePub format" So I found out by checking inline format that will work but it moves the text box and photo to where it want to go and not where I want it to be...this will not work so how do I make it stay where I place it and still save without the error of floating object issues.... In addition, when I let it go where it wants to go it lets me stay as an ePub and takes me to iTunes producer ( I have my books on iTunes made with iBooks Author) and is this right...I want to make it ready as an ePub not for Apple but for other eBook readers... Can anyoe help? Thanks

    I copied text & paisted it and then draged the 3 photos from the file...then clicked on the photo then clicked the inline boxon tool bar nexed to floating one and that is how I did it
    I do not know what you mean "cut & paist"  how do I get the photo in from my picter folder if I do not drag it to the page in Pages? 
    I went to my photo folder and copied a photo and paisted the photo on the top left part of the page and it went there but there was no text to the right of photo...I could crop the photo to what ever size but no text to the right of photo...
    This is just too big of a mess of a program as it should be easier then this,,,I hav e 300 photos in this project and would have to re-paist them all...that is nuts...
    I see the button to the right of inline and floating that has 6 [lace to have the photo but the text does not float around the photo...
    If this is what your talking about this very little freedom in my page layout as I need it to let me place it where I need it to be and the wrap the text...
    There has to be an easier way to get my books ready for other formats other that Apple's iPad...iBooks Author was way eisier to make ready for iTunes...Love that program!!!
    Want my books for sale on all the other formats and was told by Apple Pages whould do it...
    I must be be out to lunch or the designers at Apple are ???

  • Is there a way to slice up a text box or box in general?

    I was trying to slice up a text box in order to have part of the box reveal the background I can make two separate text boxes and/or color boxes however I want a semi-transparent background color so I am afraid of things not aligning properly or there will be obvious space between the two boxes. exampe of what I'm trying to do.
    example of what I'm trying to achieve:

    That shape can be created by adjusting the border of the text box {with direct selection tool (white arrow) }. Just add more points {with pen tool} where you want the corners to be.

  • Is there a way to automatically populate a text box with its text's colour values (RGB, CMYK, etc)?

    I'm trying to work a little faster and since Kuler now syncs into CC, I'd like to know if there is a way to colour text from a text box and have this text change automatically depending on the values of the swatch I selected.
    It should work more or less like metadata, or variable text: you can customise what value will appear
    I'm almost 100% sure the answer is no, but it can't hurt to ask.

    The short answer is No. But I see that Ray has given you an option.

  • Is there a way to automatically resize the text box to fit the text inside, without using the selection tool to resize the corners in Illustrator and Photoshop?

    I'm wondering if there is a way where I can quickly resize a text box to fit exactly around the text inside, so pretty much the smallest the text box can go without being too small to fit the text? I know you can do this manually with the selection tool, but is there a button/command that automatically does this in one go?
    Thanks

    Try this script. Save the page as .jsx the the "Presets>Scripts" AI folder. When you restart AI it will appear in the "Scripts" menu. Select the text block and run the script.
    Thanks to Nathaniel Vaughn KELSO for the script.

  • Is there a way to automatically populate a text-box with target object's colour values (CMYK, RGB, HEX, etc.)?

    I know there's image metatext, but I'd like to know if it's exclusive for images. When I set up my branding colour scheme I usually come up with about 25 different colours, so it's kind of a chore to go ahead and fill in the Pantone, CMYK, RGB and HEX values for each one of them. Is there an easy way to do this? If not in InDesign, is there a way to do it in Illustrator?
    Thank you on advance!

    The only problem is it only fills in the RGB values
    Looks like the script label is the swatch's actual color values, which can be Lab, CMYK, or RGB (not Hex). The problem with equivalents is which flavor? If you want the RGB equivalent of a CMYK swatch do you mean sRGB, AdobeRGB, ProPhoto RGB, etc., they would all be different.

  • Is there a way to create a random text generator in AE 4 ?

    Hi all,
    I'm a new user of an old version of After Effects 4.1 on Windows 7.
    I just gained the help on this forum to create a digital clock countdown with the Numbers Effect and the Timecode 30 setting in AE 4 and I noticed that there is a random numbers generator in that effect too.
    But now I'm in the Text Effect and I'm able to put my text/title on the solid layer in a composition and apply some MM scripts to the text... mainly I've just been able to use the 'Blink' script and manipulate that script a little to make it flash faster or slower.
    Since AE 4 cannot use .jsx scripts or Expressions, I guess I'm limited to MM scripts (which I've been searching for) and the built-in plug-ins and effects... but I can't find a random text generator... like where the text scrambles as if it is trying to break a code.  This effect that I'm trying for would be similar to a scrambled text effect generated in Swish or other FLASH text effect generators.
    So if anyone knows how to create a scrambled or random text effect in the old After Effects 4.1, please let me know.
    Thanks allot,
    digi

    Thanks guys,
    Yes, I'm using AE 4.1, per my explanation in my other posts about the timecode effect and codecs.
    Since there is a built-in random number generator in AE 4.1 that is part of the Numbers Effect, I thought there may still be an after market Effect, plug-in or mm script for a random text generator.
    I've been searching the web, but its a big place.
    Thanks,

  • Is there any way to create a file compatible with Premiere Pro

    Is there any way to create a file in Premiere elements that is compatible with Premiere Pro and that can be used in Premiere Pro

    Consternation
    The important information that I do not see mentioned nor offered by you.
    1.What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running? What version of Premiere Pro do you want to use?
    The Premiere Pro Import Supported Formats seem to indicate that it will accept the Premiere Elements project.prel (project file) on Windows Only.
    Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Supported file formats
    This may or may not be possible depending on damaged projects or outdated elements.
    2. If you want to export your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and subsequently import that into your Premiere Pro version, that "should" work. You would go to the Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/ and make a selection based on what the Premiere Pro Import Supported file formats are and what you need. I can help you with that. But, details first.
    But, just a "beware"...when you get to Premiere Elements 11 or 12 (if that is the version involved) Publish+Share/Computer/ there are several categories, but all you see is Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The rest of the list that includes AVI and QuickTime which both need to be scrolled to all of the time to see them, not just sometimes, with the thin scroll bar to the right of the list of choices. You can export files
    with AVI file extension, under Publish+Share/Computer/AVI
    with MOV file extension, under Publish + Share/Computer/QuickTime
    And, if you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements, you are not going to have presets for the QuickTime export.
    Remember, there is more to an export than just its file extension. Know your other export properties as well.
    In many cases, you can customize the export settings to suit your requirements.
    Problems will exist if you are trying to go from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Pro Mac or vice versa.
    I would be glad for the opportunity to help you with this issue, but details are needed.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • What's the best way to create basic scrolling up end credits

    What's the best way to create basic scrolling up end credits with FCE. I want create normal look after the film that has a gap between the working title and the name (center-aligned, two-column
    scrolls)
    In the FCE Manual there was a good way to to do it with an asterisk (*) between the the words, but problem occurs when I had an umlaut (ÄÖ) in the word. The asterisk becomes visible and as many umlauts in the working title so many letters missing from the beginning of the name. I'm from Finland and we have lots of umlauts. So is there any other way to do this with FCE.

    You can use Title Crawl in Boris to do this. You set it up like a word processor with a right aligned tab, a gap and then a left aligned tab. Double click in the ruler to create a tab stop. Double click it again to change its alignment. You use the tab key to move between the stops. It's kind of hard to explain, but if you play with it, I think you'll get it.
    There is also Boris documentation on the install disc which will explain it more fully.

  • Is there a way to create a year at a glance with detail and print?

    Is there a way to create a year at a glance with detail and print?

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

  • Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
    Nancy
