Layers with rollovers

I am creating a organizational chart with rollovers that
contain a picture and contact information. When I rollover a
person's area on the chart, their info pops up in a rollover box.
But since it is a org chart, the people's names need to be close
together so I end up getting someone's area in front of a rollover.
If I select move to front for the other rollover, then someone
elses info gets blocked. Is there a way to keep the rollovers on
top of the document and have the chart always behind the rollovers
so no one gets their info blocked?

Don't use the show/hide at all. Use SetText of Layer to write
the required
content into a single layer.
Or - if you don't quite get that, just use PVII's AutoLayer
extension which
will show one and hide all the rest automatically.

Opacity Masks in cs4 can't find layers with main objects on it.

I created image with flag and did clipping mask with some text. Now when I do a opacity mask my other layers disappear and i can't seem to bring them back. I use the transparency to mask and clip. After that my layers with the first original items I can't find them or get back to them. Can someone tell how I can resolve this problem.
Thank you!

Once you start editing your opacity mask, you have to go back into normal editing mode by clicking on the object on the left side in the transparency panel. Click on the right to edit the mask, click on the left to get back out of that to editing the rest of your document. It's a bit confusing the way it's set up - there's no obvious indication that you're editing your mask and are isolated from the rest of your document...

Navigation with rollovers

Hi,
I have the nice task to evalute the Portal of the 9iAS v2.
We have a nice web which should be ported to the Portal.
I have there a nice Navigation Bar with rollovers.
How can I build this navigation? I can use "Page Links" from the items to build a navigation with links.
But I want to use images.
My questions:
1. Are there any build in features to do images with links - rollovers with links
and if not - how can I do this.
2. when I use Page Links I can find the right page just by name - how can I do this when
I have to enter this manually?
thanks a lot,
michael

Here's the bad news - letting a graphics application write the HTML for a production site is not a viable method. The tables produced are completely rigid and will break unexpectedly as you build your page and add content (thereby changing the 'shape' of the original layout plan). Please read this to see why that's the case -
http://www.apptools.com/rants/spans.php
The spans are what create "gaps" unexpectedly as the table tries to maintain its shape. I believe the only way to fix this is to not use that FW HTML at all.

Merge layers with their filters?!

Hey Good day,
Is there any method in Flash cs6, we could merge layers with filters?!
I have assigned some filters (Drop Shadow / Glow/etc.) to several MovieClips in my flash design.
Now if I select the "Direct/Cpu" render mode, the speed will dramatically slow down.
If I select the "GPU" render mode, the speed is perfect but I lose all effects (shadows, glows, etc.)
What is the best solution in this case?
In Adobe Photoshop there is an option (Rasterize Layer Styles) to merge layers with all styles.
Is there any similar option in Adobe Flash to merge movie-clips with filters??
Thanks a lot

you can use a bitmapdata object to create a bitmap of your untransformed movieclip (using the draw method) and use applyfilter method to apply a filter to your bitmapdata object.

Sequence Layers with Transition

Because when I do a sequence of layers, with the transition "Cross Dissolve Front and Back Layers", the first layer is "0" in opacity and no have keyframes like others layers?
System Windows 8.1.

Could be some bug, but nothing stops you to do a little copy&paste of the keyframes...

Merging layers with adjusment layers

I need to merge 2 adjustment layers with 2 image layers. When I do, the look changes. Are there ways to do this without changing the look? I have attached a screen capture of the layers affected. Additionally the "Stars" layer has a "Screen" blend mode. This is on a Mac.
Thanks in advance for any help.

(grr... wish I could edit posts using my iPad)
To view at 100% just double-click on the Zoom Tool or go View>Actual Pixels (100%). That way every pixel in your image will be represented by a monitor pixel.

How do I automate merging multiple layers with same name?

It was suggested I ask this question in this forum - any advise gratefully received!
I have to combine over a 800 files into one photoshop file. Each file has with sixty layers. The 60 layers in each file are named identically: Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3 up to Layer 59, Layer 60. My intention is to create a final composite file with 60 merged layers (for an animation). That is, with all the Layer 1's merged, all the Layer 2's merged, all the Layer 3's merged and so on. What I need is a script which will merge all layers with the same layer name, ie all the Layer 1s, all the Layer 2s etc (ideally without having to merge each set of layers separately).
I am using Photoshop CS6 and at present I am merging by using the find/name function, then highlighting all the layers selected and then using 'merge layers'.
Any ideas?
Best
JR

This might be close, it will prompt for a folder containing all the 800 files, it will use tif or psd files.
Once you have selected the folder sit back and watch...
#target photoshop
app.bringToFront();

selectedFolder = Folder.selectDialog( "Please select input folder");

Forming Layers with Elements 8

I have taken 5 photographs using the light painting techniques recently discussed in DPS Light Painting Tutorial. However, using Elements 8, I can't combine them in Layers. I can get them into Elements, save them, and open them in the Layers section of Elements. However, I don't know where to go from there. Any help out there?

I assume that you started out in PSEv.8 with File menu>new>blank file, set to appropriate size, and resolution the same as that of the 5 pictures.
Then, you have 5 layers above the background, each layer with its unique photograph.
These layers were placed, I assume, either by dragging from the photobin, or copy/paste
Then he wants you to align the layers. CTRL+left click the 5 layers with the pictures to make them active, and get the Move tool out of the tool box. On the Move tool's option bar, there is an "align" icon at the top, allowing you to align the centers.
HTH.

Working with layers with centered page

Is it possible to work with layers (Draw Layer) when you want
your site to
be centered. So far I´ve worked with centered (middle)
Layout Table, but
then I have to work with Laoyt Cells - i.e. I cannot use
layers.

Of course you can use layers with tables. Just work in
Standard mode, not
layout mode to do that. And please take the time to learn
about layers
before you use them -

Flash cs3 "Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped..."

I am getting the error message: flash cs3 "Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol"
I have only one symbol in the layer, a graphic.
Does anyone know how I can correct the "problem"?
Thanks in advance.
karen.

as the above poster mentioned I am guessing you have more than one object on that layer. you may have created a symbol from a shape and not selected the stroke.. that is pretty common.
to verify what is on a particular keyframe do a "select all" cntrl-a or cmd-a. maybe you will see more than one item selected.
look at the properties panel. if you have only one thing it will note the symbol or it will say "mixed".
perform this test in the first and last keyframe.

Rename layers with layer 1, layer 2 till and layer N

My Name is Sathya Murthy
I have psd files with many layers each with different names
I want to rename the layer which i have selected using right click with name Layer 1
Next layer which I right click with layer 2 and so on till layer N
and layers with are left out without renaming should be put in a new layer set or group in layers separately in the same file.
which i have opened
and layers should be arranged like this
till Layer N
Layer 4
Layer 3
Layer 2
Layer 1
Group or Layer Set
Background
I hope you understand what i am saying
I want scripting for that action as I have more files to rename layers so by using scripts i can work little bit faster
anyone knowing please help
Thanks In Advance
Sathya Murthy

I don’t think one can select Layers in the Layers Panel or on the Canvas while a Script is running.
One could select the Layers via a dialog, but that would take focus and need to present a list of the Layers.
Alternatively it might be possible to set up a work-around by selecting a Layer, invoking a Script (either by Keyboard Shortcut or from a Configurator Panel) that stores data (the activeLayer in this case), repeating that as often as needed and at the end of the selection process trigger another Script (or possibly the same with the shift-key pressed) that then processes that stored information.
But maybe someone else has more insightr or a better idea.

GL floating boxes with rollovers

I'm working on a project that is similar to a target--bullseye in center with rings around it. I have created the text/phrases that go in each ring in Illustrator and put the whole thing together in a layered PS file. No problems yet, but when I separate all of the text/phrase into images with 2 states for the rollover and put them into GL floating boxes, the boxes overlap in some area so the mouseover rollover doesn't always work. For example, mouseover one text image and another one will show the color change rollover because the mouse is really over an area of the image that is transparent. Is the only way around this to re-arrange the box z-index to try to avoid the overlap or is there some way that I am missing? Frustrating!

Like I said, you can use the Set Image URL action for the rollover. You can set multiple actions to change more than 1 pic on mouse enter if you need to. You won't need any more layers than you currently have, and only the area where you place the image map will be active (rollover won't trigger in transparent areas).
As for overlib, (I'm not familiar with that) if it's a javascript that's added to your links/rollovers, you can move it to the image maps in the source, it should work fine.

Templates with rollovers

I have rollovers in my nav, with the corresponding button
being in the highlighted position when you're on that page. Because
one button is going to be "highlighted" on each page, I don't see
how I can use a template for the navigation. Does anyone know if
this is possible???
Thanks!

Sure, it's possible, and it's easy to do with CSS or with
javascript.
With CSS you would have a little stylesheet embedded in the
head of each
page that allows you to set the down state for any given
button (each button
would have a unique id - for example -
<a href="foo.html" id="button1">...<a
href="bar.html" id="button2">
and then your stylesheet would have this -
a#button1 { styles }
on one page, and on another this -
a#button2 { styles }
See how that works?
With javascript, put this in script tags in the head of the
document -
function P7_downImage() {
var g7="<imagename>"
// replace <imagename> with the HTML name
var g7url="<pathname>"
// replace <pathname> with the path and filename to the
image
if ((g7=MM_findObj(g7))!=null) {g7.src=g7url;}
and this on the <body> tag
onload="P7_downImage()"
Then on each page you would need to make two edits:
Set g7 to the *name* of the button (not the file name but the
HTML name -
e.g., "productsbutt"), and g7url to the pathname to the
button (e.g.,
"images/nav/button3.gif"), and bada bing, bada boom!
There is an excellent tutorial here -
