Just curious question about Text/Vector Lines

I was just curious.... I saw this image , and I'm a beginer to Illustrator. Does anyone know How to get the "lined shadow"
behind the font and is it possible to get a circle stroke like the one here, but where the first circle starts small and the last one
ends in a bigger size? Thanks!

Iphone question about texts

hey guys my aunt just gave me a iphone,and i currently have at&t. I just swapped sim cards out of my old phone and put it in the iphone. On my current package i have unlimited texting and when i am working on getting my phone set up there is a fee of i think 20$ to have internet and what not on the phone each month. But there is also something about adding more sms to your new iphone set up. Should i be worrired about this sense i have unlimited texting already or do i have to pay the extra 20 just to get unlimited texting on the iphone

Since you already have unlimited texting, you won't need to add more texting just the data plan.

Just a question about security

Hi All.
Just a simple question really, I read on one of the forums here a question about running windows and apples mac os at the same time.
My question is: would they not cause conflict, as with apple you don't need to install security but windows is riddled with bugs and virus's surely one would infect the other?
Sorry to sound so silly, I'm not very computer savvy , but it strikes me as wrong somehow.
Thanks Tricia

You will have whatever threats assail Windows and must protect against those, but none of them will cross over to the Mac side. Note: there is cross platform Windows/Mac malware, i.e. malware written for both. But to be infected you need to be infected directly on the Mac side.

Curious question about sleep light.

Currently loving my new 2011 17" MBP, it's been completely great, no problems at all.
I'm just curious about one little thing. My sleep light, seems a little dimmer on the right half. Looking at it at different angles seems to make it look "full". I was just wondering if this is the normal?
Like I said, I love the computer, and I don't plan on returning it because of this, I'm simply curious if this is what it's supposed to look like.
I'm thinking perhaps there's some dust or something in there affecting how it looks at certain angles.

I just got the new 15' mbp myself an have had no problems.
Except the issue you have. Although mine seems like its lost lighting on left side. Its very very minor but I can tell, which bothers me becuase I'v paid $2000 for it brand new for a reason (to look brand new).
Have you had problems with it since than?
An also wondering if you could would you exchange it for a brand new one because I do have 14 days to take back?

Question about selecting vector paths in Photoshop

Hi, I have a question about selecting path points in photoshop.
This is the setup. I have a vector shape layer (the redi circle). but that's placed inside a group with a vector mask (the black pentagon). What I want to do is select parts of the red circle using click and drag) so I can modify portions of the circle).
This is Photoshop's behavior as I've noticed it. Photoshop likes to select the shapes for you, and will target layers on its own when you use the Path Selection Tool. It tends to want to select the top most shape. If I target the shape layer first, I can use the Direct Selection tool to select individual points. I can add selected points bu shift+clicking.This is all well and good.
If I try to select multiple points using click+drag though, it gets a bit weird.
If I try to click+drag to select multiple points from within the vector mask (from the black), it will fail and select the vector mask. If i try to click+drag to select multiple points from outside the vector mask (from the white), then it will allow me to select points from my vector shape like i intended.
I could also shift click to hide the vector mask, and it will work the way i want.
Is there an easy way to tell photoshop not to auto target vector shapes? or a better way to select paths inside vector masks?
Thanx for any input

Sure.
Simply click once on the vector mask for the shape layer (red circle) to highlight that vector mask in the Layers Panel. Then when you click-drag the anchors of that path will be selected, not the group's path.
If you have no mask highlighted, Photoshop assumes it should select the first path it comes in contact with.

Just a question about Languages.

Hi all!
I've got just a question: I'm italian, but in the italian site there's no updater for my n73.
The problem is that now I don't know if, installing the english one, i'll be able to change the language.
Can you tell me it, pleeeease??

I think I heard somewhere that some software can be
switched to English but some can't, but where can I
find that kind of information?
Basically all Apple software (except OS 9 and AppleWorks) has multiple localizations which always include Japanese and English, and these are easily switched via preferences settings. I think MS and Adobe software often only comes in one language at a time, but you really must check with them, or the outfit selling the software, to find out the situation with a particular app.

A few questions about Text

1) Is there any key that allows you to scale the area type, without having to select the scale tool?
2) Is there any possibility to reduce the area of the area type with a single clic in any of the bottons of the area (like you can do in FreeHand)?
3) Can you convert a title type into an area type and vice versa in a quick way?

Vaca,
Welcome to the real world.
Neither Illustrator nor InDesign provide anything like FreeHand's auto-fitting textframes.
Neither Illustrator nor InDesign provide anything like FreeHand's wrapping tabs.
FreeHand provides proper paragraph rules; Illustrator only has its lame underscore and strikethrough.
FreeHand provides an end-column formatting character.
One text object in FreeHand does more than Illustrator's two.
One text tool in FreeHand does more than Illustrator's six.
One selector tool FreeHand does more than Illustrator's three.
One pen tool in FreeHand is more powerful than Illustrator's four (three pens plus one convert).
One polygon tool in FreeHand does more than Illustrator's two (star and polygon).
FreeHand provides more grad types than Illustrator.
FreeHand knows the difference between a path being selected as an object vs. having all its anchorpoints selected.
FreeHand can drag-bend a straight segment without adding an unwanted anchorpoint.
FreeHand snaps are reliable at any zoom.
FreeHand's speed blows the doors off Illustrator.
So-called "power duplication" is more powerful in FreeHand than in Illustrator.
Select-through is quick and fluid in FreeHand; cumbersome and tedious in Illustrator.
FreeHand provides for disallowing fills on open paths; Illustrator doesn't.
FreeHand's cutting tool can cut its own open, unfilled paths (duh!).
FreeHand's path operations are more logical than Illustrator's cluttered and confused Pathfinders.
In FreeHand, winding direction in compound paths is more reliable.
FreeHand's interface doesn't encourage the creation of stray points.
FreeHand provides a proper hairline stroke weight.
FreeHand provides Connector Points to ensure tangency of curves to straight segments.
FreeHand provides a proper, straightforward, reverse path command.
FreeHand can auto-extend, auto-retract anchor handles.
FreeHand provides connector lines.
Illustrator never kept up with FreeHand in most basic functionality.
FreeHand always allowed editing in preview mode. It took several versions for Illustrator to catch up to that and, incredulously, AI users actually defended that inability.
It took fifteen years for Illustrator to acquire a Fit To Page print command.
It took twenty years for Illustrator be able to add page 2.
Illustrator still doesn't provide for user-defined drawing scales.
Illustrator still doesn't even provide live shape primitives (live polygons, arcs, ellipses, etc.)--among the most basic constructs common to vector drawing programs.
I could go on and on an on with this list. Users have been pointing these things out literally for decades. Illustrator is simply the most archaic, cumbersome, tedious, confused, and cluttered mainstream vector program on the market. Much of the basic feature set is sub-standard (see custom arrowheads). The interface is worst-of-class. Those who don't know better encounter its confused awkwardness and mistake it for "sophistication."
And we're talking about superior functionality that remains in a program Adobe acquired and discontinued how many years ago?

Question about adding a line/phone to a new plan

Hey everyone I have a concern I wanted to be clear about before I upgrade my plan. I am up for a device upgrade and plan on upgrading my smartphone and my current single line plan to one of of the new share everything family plans and a new smartphone. I can get the phone I want at a different store other then verizon for a better price so Im going to do that. After that is all said and done I plan on buying and adding another new smartphone/line to my share everything account through verizon(store or online). I just want to be sure that 1.) Adding another line after the fact isnt going to be a problem fee wise or the terms of my account wise since I just upgraded my account at a different vendor and 2.) Will that new line be still eligible for a upgrade discount through verizon just like a new plan would be even though Im not adding it at the same exact time I upgrade my main phone and plan?
Also I was wondering that if..say a few months from now I want to add another new phone/line to my share everything account. Will that also be like a new plan and eligible for a upgrade discount through verizon? My 2.) question will probably answer this but I want to be absolutely sure first before I do anything. Thanks alot guys. Appreciate any input.

Every time you add a line, it is eligible for a subsidized phone. It does not matter when you do it. As far as question #1, your account is just what the terms of usage is, not the length of the contract(s). Those are determined by the individual lines. You can also change the account limits at any time (eg. increase shared data limit), but when you do, it is usually pro-rated for the remainder of your current billing month, plus 1 month in advance. It does not change any of the lengths of the lines contracts.
Does this help?

Question about text animation

Please keep in mind I'm still sort of new to After Effects.
What I am trying to do is use text decoder animation to change from one text to another type of text. I am going from a text that is symbols into english but I'd like it to cycle through the decoder style animation. I've tried just some misc approaches to creating it, but nothing seems to look right or have the effect I want. One thing to note, if it matters at all, is that the two texts are so different that overlapping them and using a fade out/decode style doesn't really give the right look to it.
It would start out looking something like this:
Something that you couldnt really read
but after it decoded you could
into this
Something that you couldnt really read
but after it decoded you could
I assume there is a way to do this, and I am guessing that I am simply overlooking it. But any help or direction would be wonderful.

Not sure what you mean. I think you want to go from something like this:
a0(;soslbppzidb.
to
my readable text
If that's right all you have to do is type the words you want in the text layer and apply the decoder preset. You then select the text layer, press the U key twice to reveal the keyframes and edited parameters. You shold see a range selector with keyframes. Use this to adjust the timing of the effect. You should also see an Advanced category with Based On Characters selected. You can change this to words or to lines. The last two options visible should be Character Offset, which controls how far you want to offset the characters, and Opacity, which controls the opacity of the text. You can adjust any of these settings to get the effect you need.
Personally, I think this effect looks best when the individual characters decode in. Choosing Words or Lines will give you more options.
If you want to go from symbols to text by using different fonts you'll have to use two layers of type and transition between them with an opacity change. You can't change fonts in the middle of a text layer.

Questions about Text and headings CS5.5

Hey guys,
I have a quick question. I am currently working on a contact page for my website and I want to lay it out where the category of what you are contacting is in one font style while the email address (written beneath each category) is in a different font style.
Basically it would be like this
President (in brown font)
[email protected] (in smaller black font)
Vice President (in brown font)
[email protected] (in smaller black font)
etc.
I was playing with making the brown font categories h3 and the email address in h4. However they can't line up right because the fonts are different sizes so the space between each of the lines is different. Is there an easy to achieve this? I admit I am new to the program haha. Should I make the text in html code as opposed to using CSS?
Any help would be great!
Thank you =)

You would never want to publish email addresses on your publicly accessible web site. Spammers will flock to them like white on rice! Eventually, the person's inbox will be inundated with spam mail.
For best results, build an HTML form that is styled with CSS.
http://speckyboy.com/2009/07/02/20-resources-and-tutorials-for-creative-forms-using-css/
Then use a form-to-email processing script in whichever server-side language your web host recommends. Ideally, your script should contain the email addresses (not the form) and have anti-spam measures built-in.

Just 5 questions about the Zen Micro Ph

HiJust 5 Q's about that player which i hope i get clear answers 4 'emcan i buy the charger designed for the original Zen Micro 2 be used with this player? if not, is there an additional charger i can buy ?2) How much time it takes the player 2 charge from the USB port and how much does it take in case of using a charger?3) Can i simply plug the player in my PC's USB and boot up windows XP 2 see the player simply as an additional dri've without the need of any special drivers or programs so that i transfer files between my PC and the player with simple drag and dropping4) Can i transfer non-media files (books - programs...etc) using the same method in question 3 without having 2 set up first a dedicated space on the player 4 receiving such files (<--- This is the way which has 2 be done with the old Zen Micros)5) Any dedicated volume control on it yet or it still misses it like old Zen Micros ?THANKS A LOT

Hi Catherina - thx 4 the reply but yr answer implies that the old Zen Micro can be seen in windows explorer directly as an additonal dri've and this contradicts all the reviews i have read about that in order to transfer non-media files to the player, i have 2 either use the bundled program "Zen Media Explorer" or the firmware itself (in case i am not allowed 2 install software on some computer i wanna transfer files from or to) but i was speaking about plugging the player simply in the USB to be detected by XP, assigned to it a dri've letter and then i can start copying files from/to it right away without any additional extra software installed or anything i must configure on the player itself. IMHO, this is how the MP3 players should behave 4 extra simplicity and ease of use
SUGGESTION: can u plz make video clips showing how 2 use the player in all aspects. I have seen that with the iri'ver players where some people (i am not sure if those people are the guys @ iri'ver themselves or just some fans) have posted numerous video clips showing the iri'ver player in all aspects so the end user like me feel like he is using the player in his hands even if he/she hasn't purchased it yet - something that will be very effecti've on people's decision purchase. Wish to see video clips showing all aspects of the Zen Micro player and may be other players
Here is the site i was talking about: www.misticri'ver.net

Curious question about tab key selecting?

I'm not sure how to word this query so try to bare with me.
I sometimes use the tab key to select the next file or folder instead of the arrow keys, but I've noticed that when I have a series of folders and/or files that are in numerical order, the tab key doesn't select the files and folders in the order that they are listed it selects them in a order that is similar to alphabetical order.
Such as this:
This is an example of the file names and the numerical order they're listed in:
9
28
29
30
40
300
2006
2025
A
This is the order the tab selects the same files:
2006
2025
28
29
30
300
40
9
A
If the 9 file is selected then I hit tab key to select the next file, the next files selected is A it will skip over the other files. The arrow Keys don't do this.
My question is why is this the case?
Not really a big deal but I was curious why it does that.

You are correct for the use you've described - using tab in list view, also in icon view. The tab key moves in alpha-numeric sequence but the numeric is by 1st numeral, 2nd numeral, etc if two or more have the same first numeral not by total number size.
The arrow keys are essentially directional. In icon view you use L/R to move to the next item and up/down to move vertically.
This is the standard use but individual applications use these keys differently. In a table/database it's common for the tab to move from cell to cell and the arrow keys to move through the characters in a cell but even these can depend on the particular software package.
This is all part of the learning curve for computer users!

Question about Java Vectors

Hello guys,
If I have a vector that contains an infinite amount of words that have 25 or less letters,
how do I tell java to give me the number of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6, etc lettered words in the vector?
the Vector is called v and it can only contain letters A through Z;
i figure that I need a loop: so
Vector v;
for (int i = 0; i <= 25; i++){
I just don't know how to complete the counter
Please help
Thanks

for (int i = 0; i <= 25; i++){
}I don't think you need the loop. You can get the length of each string with .length().
I just don't know how to complete the counterAre you counting just words of a single given length (e.g., all five-letter words) or all lengths (e.g., all single-letter words, all two-letter words, etc.)?
