Mask anchors not working?

Threw a mask on an image and I can't seem to move the anchors! I click and hold them and they are ready to move but the dont....
Also as a sidenote, there are many times where I need more then a 4-point mask... Is there like a pen tool or I've seen an 8-point mask used before? Where and how to I get more points for the mask? Then again it's no use if i cant solve my first problem!
Cheers

Are you working with standard definition media? There is a bug with that and the mask effect doesn't work. You could google for third-party masks or mattes. I thought I saw one with 32-points.

Named Anchors not working in Safari

Has anyone found a work around for named anchors not working in Safari?
For example:
<http://www.macbenimble.com/links.html#browsers>
Would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any info re this?
hollie

That particular page fails the w3c validator: "This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!" Safari is one of the least forgiving of browsers for code that is not correctly written to standards. You might want to put your pages through the validator and look at the list of generated errors.
Named anchors do work in Safari, for example is this web site faq.

CS5 64 bit Masking is not working

Wierd problem in 64 bit layer masking dosen't work properly. White reveals the layer below when using brush tool. Black will not paint back in. Isn't white working backwards? I am using Win 7 core I7 processor with 12gig of ram.
CS5 in 32 bit works fine so far.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

Double check that your brush tool is not set to something other than "Normal" mode painting.
However, white in a layer mask should cause opacity and show what's on the layer itself, black should allow what's below to show through.
Choose Edit - Preferences - Performance, and disable OpenGL Drawing temporarily. If that helps, see if there is a video driver update from the web site of the maker of your particular graphics card.

Mask Layer not working in cropping to stage Flash

I've read through umpteen Flash threads of frustrated users who export SWF and anything visible outside the stage appears in the SWF when opened in a browser. None of the solutions have worked for me. My file is called statement_onlineheader.fla. It can be seen here http://www.mediafire.com/?yrmgnoynihw. Anyone know why this does not work for me?
I have my mask layer above a folder containing all other layers. I have also tried moving the mask layer above individual layers. Same result. Stuff outside the stage appears in the exported SWF.

Very true. So what do you think is wrong with my file? The top layer is marked "Mask" when I control-click it, and it doesn't matter if I put it over an individual layer or not. The top layer is a rectangle the size of the stage, yet this layer (which is checked as a mask) does not mask what is below it.

Named Anchors not working in Apple Mail

Hi... we have an HTML Email Newsletter. About 2 months ago the named anchors (links) from the top to different parts of the email stopped working right. For years, named anchors would simply go to the section of the email that you desired. The location of the anchor would appear at the top of the email window. Recently, the links have still worked, but Apple Mail would put the location at the bottom of the email, requiring the user to scroll down to see the content. And even more recently, now we have to double-click the link at the top to get it to work, and still incorrectly.
At first, this seemed to only not work in system 10.6. But now it's working the same way in 10.5. I am surprised a web search hasn't found anyone else with this problem. It affects not only our emails, but any email that has a link from the top of the email to any other part of the email.
Is this just a bug in Apple Mail or is there a fix? Thanks in advance!

I have exactly this same problem - anchors now move the cursor so that the desired text is just off the bottom of the message window, and one has to scroll to see it.
This is obviously an error - it is inconsistent with all web / anchor behavior I am familiar with.
What's going on?????

Simple Mask Effect not working in Flash 8 Pro

I recently updated to Flash 8 pro.I'm having a wiered
problem.First I was having problem applying masking.I applied a
masking effect in a movie clip and when view the movie instead of
showing the effect it shows my masking shape that is a
rectangle.When i move the play head in the movie it shows me the
effect, im trying to achieve but when I hit ctrl+enter to test the
movie, it does not work.Then another thing was I tried to apply a
Fade in effect and even that does not work.Any suggestion would be

there is something wrong with the player.I have Flash Player 9
installed.I unistalled and re installed a new copy,Still did'nt
help. I am

Hi,
Are you sure that you set your Mask layer to a Mask? Double
click the icon int he right of the Layer name and set the Layer
type to a mask.
And regarding the Fade, I guess you may miss some thing, let
me know the steps you have done to create your Fade effect?
hope this helps

Clipping Mask is NOT working

This is so strange , i can't get the clipping mask feature to work on my pc. I tried it on another one and it worked.
This is before i apply the mask to my rectangle.
After i apply it , the image dissapears and nothing else happens.
I've been trying for 4 hours to fix this and it keeps refusing to work properly.

Without trying to analyze just what you're doing with the clipping mask functionality, an initial response:
If it fails for you on one computer but not another, assuming you're doing exactly the same things to the same file, that says there's a problem with the computer.
Try disabling OpenGL Drawing temporarily in the Edit - Preferences - Performance menu.
If that works around the issue, go to the web site of the maker of your video card and download and install an updated video driver. Assuming your video card is still being supported by the manufacturer, updated video drivers usually solve strange display issues like this.

Masking is not working in Breeze

I am importing a swf into a ppt using the Breeze insert
Flash. Once converted, the masking around the swf/flash file is not
showing up. I have a mask around my animation in order to hide any
items I don't want to show. In presentation mode with Powerpoint it
works. Once published in Breeze, they do not work. Any help would
be appreciated.

My text layer mask is not working when I test it

My text layer mask does not appear when I test the movie. The
mask works move the key along the timeline, but when I test the
movie nothing shows up. I'm doing exactly the same thing I do when
I mask images. I actually imported an image to the text layer and
the mask worked correctly. What am I doing wrong?

provide a link the fla - make sure your text layer is truly
linked to the Mask layer. What is the
font? Did you try breaking apart the font until it becomes
raw shapes? not that you want to do that
but save as with new name - try it and if it still doesnt
work, then the issue is not with your font.

Named anchors not working appropriate anymore

I am in the middle of developing a website for mobile use with named anchors to navigate through the page. Today I received a FireFox 3.6.10 update and since then it is not working anymore. I use for the anchor and <a href= "#anchorname">go to my anchor</a>for the link. In FireFox 3.6.10 you have to select the named anchor twice, because at first click the page is being reset to the top position. Only after clicking another time the url is directed to the anchor. This problem is only present in FireFox 3.6.10, I have tested on older versions and other browsers and there my page is functioning as expected.

somewhere the layout for the anchor i provided was filtered, i will post it here again with spaces between the characters used. Remove these to get the real code:

Anchors not working properly when site is iFramed

I've just updated Muse (version 4.0). I've always used anchors in previous sites (with previous Muse versions) and iFramed these sites (for my company's needs). Well, my last site, built with 4.0 has all anchors working well after exported. BUT, once I iFramed it, ALL anchors seem disabled. Would anyone know why? Any workarounds?
Thanks!

Hi Bose,
When I use NOBINPT = ' '. then some of my screens get supressed so that I can't populate data on those screens. It's only when i use 'X' my BDC works. But as explained earlier this is not working when I schedule it as background job.
Regards,
Firoz.

Anchors not working on iOS single page site

Anchors are working perfectly with the desktop version of the site and with the iphone 5 preview within Muse, however … when testing the site by bublishing through business catalyst (on an actual iPhone 5) - tapping menu items that link to anchors futher down the page don't work.
I'm currently using release version: v5.0, build 704, CL 775986 (don't know if that helps?)
The business catalys site is viewable at: http://xtrashiny01.businesscatalyst.com

Put a textbox on top of button and try sym.$("textButton").html("<a ref='mailto:[email protected]'>Send e-mail</a>");
Works fine!

Anchors not working on iPhone

Hi, I've checked out other threads on this but non of the solutions seem to be working for me.
Here's my link
<li><a href="#contact">contact</a></li>
then I have <div id="contact"> at the point I want to jump to.
It works fine in all browsers apart from on my iPhone with Safari.
I've tried adding an absolute url as suggested on other threads e.g.
<li><a href="http://www.mydomain.com/index.html#contact">contact</a></li>
or <li><a href="http://www.mydomain.com/index.html/#contact">contact</a></li>
But these seem to stop the anchor from work at all in all other browsers!
Can anyone please advise on this, I'm desperate to find a fix for this.
Best
Joe

Links using anchors not working properly to some people

on this site:
http://www.thevpp.ca
I used anchors to link the show ads on either side of the page to the appropriate section of the show page. This works perfectly in Safari, Firefox (on mac) and IE (on PC).
Our client and one other person have complained that the link to "GodSpell" opens "Heart & Soul" in the centre of the page instead of GodSpell, but I cannot duplicate this. I can't find out what browser / version / OS they're using as they don't know.
Clicking on the GodSpell image on the home page takes you to shows.html#b which is GodSpell. (Heart & Soul is shows.html#a)
They say the other show links work perfectly. I thought initially their browser might not support anchors, but if the others work, then I don't get why this one doesn't.
Is there a better way to link these images than using anchors? Could the problem be that the anchor links are within a ProjectVIII scroller?

A few code errors to check:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thevpp.ca%2Fshows.html%23b
I see several problems. In Firefox 12, the only links that work consistently for me are "Love Letters" and "Sinatra". If I use the custom scrollbar and go all the way down to "Sinatra," the links don't trigger anything. Same thing happens in Chrome.
For an alternate approach, I created a named anchors demo (without tables). You'll see there is ample space between each of the named anchor regions (view page source to see the code).
