Mouse Action Over Tools

Moved to PSE 9 from PSE 5: When I place cursor over a tool, the name of the tool doesn't appear. I can't tell for sure what tool I'm using. I have the same problem when mousing over the tool icons in an adjustment layer. Any ideas?

See if in Edit>Preferences>General you have Show Tool Tips checked.

Determine if mouse is over tree node

hi.
I recently added some code from this forum on
highlighting a node when the mouse is over it.
I am taking this futher and setting a Border around the nodehowever it draws a border around every node.
I want to only draw the border when the mouse is over the node.
the example i got does this to set the foreground
((JLabel)result).setForeground(Color.red);
i do this to set the border
((JLabel)result).setBorder
(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
i ve tried getting the positions of both the mouse and the jlabel but am having trouble determining if the position of the mouse is within the position of the node in the tree.
Ive used methods like the contains method but it doesnt work for me . can anyone give me a hint as to how to see if the points of the mouse are on the Jlabel?

This is very close to your solution. Last month, I implement ToolTip Text on every Tree Node so when Mouse goes on to the Node, It shows the Tool Tip Text. Have a look at this code and try to change it accordingly.
This code is in the Constructor in your class.
tree.setCellRenderer(new IDETreeCellRenderer());
tree.setToolTipText("");Class: IDETreeCellRenderer - Cell Renderer for the Tree
package tv.izone.ide.tree;

import tv.izone.core.*;

public class IDETreeCellRenderer
    extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
   DefaultTreeCellRenderer label;
    * Override TreeCellRendererComponent, used for changing Tree Node for comments.
    * @param tree Tree to be used
    * @param value Value of the Node
    * @param selected true, if selected
    * @param expanded true, if expanded
    * @param leaf true, if it is a leaf
    * @param row Row Number
    * @param hasFocus True, if has Focus
    * @return Component, Tree
   public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value, boolean selected, boolean expanded,
                                  boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus) {
      try {
      label = (DefaultTreeCellRenderer)super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, selected, expanded, leaf, row,
                                                  hasFocus);
      label.setToolTipText(dataObject.getToolTipText());
// Instead of setToolTipText(), try setBackgroundColor() or setBorder()
     return label;
      } catch (Exception ex) {
      // NullPointerException, usually comes at the start of the Application
      // when the Tree is empty.
      return this;
}Hope this Helps

Change dock settings and mouse actions in accounts?

After creating accounts for my class periods I changed the appearance of my/the administrator's dock and the actions of my mighty mouse to enable right click. After logging out and then logging back in as one of my class periods my changes did not carry through.
Please tell me there is an easier way to change the dock and mouse actions than having to log back in as the administrator, going to EACH account, changing them so they can access system preferences, log back in as the class period, make the changes and finally go back in as the admin to take off their access to system preferences. Yuck...
Also, when a student is logged into their period is there a way to switch to the admin account temporairily? For example, if they try to open an application they don't have privileges for shouldn't it prompt the admin to type in the password instead of requiring that I log out? Thanks for any help!

Download and install the Server Admin Tools from Apple. It is intended for OS X Server but works fine on the regular version of Tiger.
Then have a look at Workgroup Manager. It allows you to set all sorts of preferences for any number of accounts. Think of it like Parental Controls on steroids.

HELP! Continuous Object Motion When Mouse Moves Over - ActionScript 3.

Hello! I'm working on a school project. Below is an image of what I am working on.
My cursor in this movie is the heart. When I move my mouse over Hello Kitty she jumps -- but only once. How can I get her to keep jumping when my mouse is over her, and make her stop jumping when I pull away? Here is the code below. If you can help that would be great!!!
Also, because I am new to ActionScript I might have messed up with the motion of the animation. Hello Kitty used to jump continuously without me doing anything. Then I copied the motion code into my ACTIONS layer and put stop(); in the Hello Kitty object code. So, she doesn't jump all the time anymore, just when my mouse moves over her... but she only jumps once and that is the problem. I want her to keep jumping as long as my mouse is over her. Please HELP! THANKS!!!!

I won't be around much longer today, so on just a hunch I'd say if you comment out all of what you showed in your first posting, use what's below, and get rid of anything that might be stopping the kitty from jumping, it might work... though it might not...
HKITTY_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
HKITTY_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, kittyJump);
function kittyJump(event:MouseEvent):void {
HKITTY_mc.play();
HKITTY_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, kittyStop);
function kittyStop(event:MouseEvent):void {
HKITTY_mc.gotoAndStop(1);

I went to the same web pages using IE 10 and the text does not fade away.

What could be wrong?

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Unable to capture audio from BlackMagic HD Extreme via Voice Over tool

Hi !
I'm trying to capture audio via my BlackMagic HD Extrem card using the Voice Over tool in FCP6, but I can't, no audio is incoming.
I can ingest audio with video using log and capture, then I know my card and my cables are working.
I tried to set the BM card as audio input in my Audio's System Prefereces Pane, but it isn't working either.
I've been looking on the BM website, but I found nothing.
Can you help me ?
Thx

Thanks for the reply.
Looking at system preferences I found that audio input was set microphone. Don't know how it happened. I switched it to DeckLink and now FCP displays 16 input channels in Log and Capture dialog. I didn't try to capture yet but I think it solved the problem, because before I had only two channels displyed.

Trouble viewing audio levels in Voice Over tool

Hello,
I often record voice over into Final Cut Pro using the Voice Over tool. In the middle section of the Voice Over window there is a 'Level' meter that flashes Green to Yellow and Red, illustrating the level of audio being fed into the Mac. For some reason though, this has stopped working for me.
My set up is this: A Mic in our voice over booth connects to a Soundcraft 4 channel mixing desk via an XLR cable. The mixing desk is linked to a JVC HD tape desk, which is connected to the Mac via FireWire.
Previously, to capture Voice Over I set the tape deck to 'Line' input, in 'DV' mode and set the Voice Over tool to 'DV Audio' as the source.
I can see sound levels on the mixing desk. I can see sound levels on the tape deck, but I can't see sound levels on the Mac's VO tool. Despite this, it does still capture voice over (I just can't 'see' it).
This problem is annoying because it means Im unsure whether the Mac is actually receiving an audio feed or not unless I do a test recording first.
Any suggestions as to why the Voice Over tool would suddenly stop showing me Levels, would be greatly appreciated!

My secondary Mac works fine when the AV settings are set to HDV, despite it receiving standard DV audio input. Whether FCP is set to DV or not doesn't seem to matter in this case.
In trying to resolve the issue I played around with DV/HDV settings within FCP and the Deck; trying different combinations, but with no success.
+To recap (just to clarify in my own head), the situation is this:+
+Both of my Macs, Primary and Secondary, happily record Voice Over, via the Voice Over tool.+
+The Mic in the sound room connects to a Mixing desk via an XLR cable. The mixing desk is also connected to 2 sets of headphones, one for the Artist and one for the Engineer. 2 audio jacks connect the mixing desk to the JVC tape deck. The JVC tape deck connects to my Mac via FireWire to the port at the rear of the Mac.+
+The issue is that the Primary Mac does not display audio Levels in the Voice Over tool, whilst it does on the Secondary Mac.+
+While Im recording Voice Over on my secondary Mac I can see that there is an Audio input because the Green/Yellow/Red bar flashes up. On my Primary mac this bar is inactive and therefore gives me no clues as to the level of audio being fed into the Mac.+

USB audio input to voice-over tool not working

with FCE-HD on iMac i have system preferences set to USB-122 Tascam box for audio input/output (works great with GB for instance) but when i try using it for audio input on FCE and the voice-over tool set to USB-122, i hear no audio, the level meter doesn't more, etc, its still taking the audio from the built-in mic.
im sure its something simple im overlooking??
tia

Mark,
See if this post helps. Not familiar with USB audio devices myself, but found this searching:

Voice over tool limited to built-in microphone

The voice-over tool will not give me the dv audio option (my camera is connected via firewire and all systems are go. I know I'm getting a signal from the mic into my camera). Whenever I select DV Audio, I get the following error message:
"No sound recording devices are available. They may be in use by another application, incorrectly connected or may be conflicting with a video output device."
Now I looked up the problem on the Apple support forum and learned that exactly this problem had happened some time in the past with an older model computer. In that case the person submitting the problem was told to update their operating system, to OS X 10.2.3 or higher. I have the latest update to my Macbook Pro so that obviously isn't the issue here.
I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

Sorry -- I'm not sure how the Mbox works... but you cannot monitor VO back from the computer as you're VOing.
SO -- if the Mbox can monitor the audio track then use that. Most of us use some type of mixing board... even a two channel one will do.
Do not try and monitor back off the mac. Won't work... unless they've fixed this in v5.

Essbase 11.1.1.3 mouse actions don't work with options turned on

I have a user who has "Enable double clicking" selected in his global settings for mouse actions. However, when he tries to use the mouse to zoom in, it doesn't work. Nothing happens as if he did not have "enable double clicking" selected. He is on Windows 7, Excel 2007 and Essbase add-in version 11.1.1.3. I have several other users with the same configuration and their double clicking works fine. We went through and disabled all other add-ins besides the Essbase add-in but still have the same results. We also uninstalled and reinstalled the add-in but that didn't help.
Any thoughts on what could possibly be causing this?
Thanks!

Thanks Robb. I tried those options but it didn't work, but I'm posting here the final resolution in case anyone else encounters the issue.
I had the local desktop support check out his PC and it turns out that the Windows 7 screen resolution was causing the issue. The only reason it was caught is because his desktop sharing software also was not working correctly.
Within the display settings Windows 7 allows you to display text/icons larger without changing the resolution. The user's display was set at 150%. After changing to 100% (default) the desktop sharing and Essbase double clicking are working.

I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from A

I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

I want to know how to get the web addresses to go away that appear in the bottom left corner of the browser every time my mouse goes over a link

Any time that my mouse goes over a link on a web page a little box in the bottom left corner of the browser pops up showing the web address for that link and it is really annoying, especially when i am on facebook because there are so many links on the home page i cant move my mouse anywhere without that box popping up and blocking part of my conversations. I was wondering if there was any way to turn this off. I've checked through the options and to my knowledge there is no way to turn it off. Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem or knew if there was a way to get that box to go away.

Another option would be to use the following extension to push those messages into the status bar. It could be a convenient way to have your messages visible when you want them, but with less distraction.

Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps.

I have downloaded and used the iPod Reset Utility, alot that did. My current state is iTunes on my XP Home with SP3 sees the iPod. When I drag a song to the iPod, the Sync message appears for about 5 minutes, then the Apple symbol appears. But no song has been transferred to the iPod.
I tried to tap into the XP iTunes database from my iBook, but although it acted like it would add the XP library to the iBook library, it did not. I've got 19 Gs of songs on the XP. If I have to load each song from its original CD to get it on my iBook I'm going to start looking for some other app or device so that I can listen to my music.
It is a shame, in the old days, Apple techs use to look at what was going on, now it appears they don't, so they never know they have problems until Apple's profits fall.

CS6 stamp tool doesn't work with action / record ( tool record is enabled ) other tools works

CS6 stamp tool doesn't work with action / record ( tool record is enabled ) other tools works

At one time tool recording was not possible and if you install Adobe Scriptlistener Plug-in Adobe will disable tool recording its never an option.
I use and record actions all the time and was looking forward to tool recording when Adobe announced it. However I found what they delivered was of very limited value because of the restrictions. I do not care that Adobe disables tool recording on my machine.
The amount of data that gets reordered seems also vary between machines. I found that Action recorded on fast machine are not usable on slow machine. Fast machine recorder too much data.
Documents you use such action on must also have the same size and resolution as the document you recorded the action on. Quite a restriction.
You problem may also be foxed in CC 2014 sett here Photoshop CS6 - Recording the clone tool in an action gives incorrect results on replay.
