Move Gradient fill with mouse arrow cs6 PS

When I fill a shape with the styles blending option, I can actually move that gradient up or down with the mouse arrow on my actual layer on my project which is nice.
However when using the shape tool palate at the top left of the photoshop screen see screen shot, I can fill this same layer with a gradient there, however I don't see where or how to move the gradient this way with the mouse.
Does this work on both options? or just the blending option styles way?

You can't move the gradient with the options bar gradient drop-down, but you can edit and move the gradient by bringing up the Gradient Fill dialog.

Screen moves in conjunction with mouse and system is off (Mac OS 10.5.8)

Hi,
My daughter hit some keys and suddenly my screen moves around with my mouse (not independently) and the system or software seems to have reverted back to the 90's. The text is blurry on everything (desktop, Internet, etc.) and the system seems to be running slower, etc. I have restarted and tried other things but can't restore it. Please help!!! Thank you.

Problem with inability to move items around with mouse

I have a problem moving items with a mouse (wireless or wired), wacam pen/mouse, etc. It can be a file/folder on the desktop or a mail message in Entourage. I can click on the file on the desktop and try to move to the trash and nothing happens other than the icon is highlighted. If I try to move a mail message from my Inbox to another mailbox, I get an error message, "The action could not be completed. An unknown error (-4960) occurred." If I reboot, the problem goes away but will come back within a day or two.
Any suggestions as to the cause and solution?

Welcome to the Apple boards.
I have experienced what you describe once and it was not good at all. I was unable to drag any folder or icon around and I could not write to the drive at all. The problem was a corrupt data structure file.
This may be something totally unrelated to what I experienced but it is worth checking out and make sure you back up your data right away. If you open disk utility (applications/utilities) and click on your drive does it say S.M.A.R.T. Verified. verified is ok, but if it says anything else the drive is likely about to die.
Again, if it is something totally unrelated, I'm sure someone else here will be able to help. If the problem you have occurs for all users make sure to back up your important data.

How to make a movie clip scroll with mouse position

Hello again. I asked a question about parallax scrolling and I think it was the wrong question. I am looking to control a website with similar controls as this example:
http://www.sectionseven.com/index2.html
I want to use this but also with both x and y axis. Any ideas as to where to find a tutorial as to where to do this? It should be fairly simple, but I am having trouble. Any help or code is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, I figured it out. simply change 0.04 to -0.04
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,scrollmc1 );
function scrollmc1(event:Event):void
 if(mc.x < 911 && (mouseX > 369)) {
 mc.x += (mouseX - mc.x) * -0.04;
 if(mc.x > 369 && (mouseX < 911)) {
 mc.x += (mouseX - mc.x) * -0.04
Here is the actual code I used on my site:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
function enterFrameHandler(e:Event):void
 if((sliderWorkspace.x < 911 && (mouseX > 1100)) || (sliderWorkspace.x > 369 && (mouseX < 90))) {
 var newLocation:Number = sliderWorkspace.x + ((mouseX - sliderWorkspace.x) * -0.04);
 newLocation = Math.min(910, newLocation);
 newLocation = Math.max(370, newLocation);
 sliderWorkspace.x = newLocation;
Let me know if this works for you

Warning - gradient fill bug found

I have reported this bug to Adobe. Watch out so it won't bite you.
Short version: gradients can disappear completely when exporting to pdf
Long version:
A. Gradient fill with default settings. First color starts at 0% and second color ends at 100%.
Copy an object with this color to Illustrator or export it as a pdf file. This works fine.
B. Change the start color to 5% and the end color to 90% (anything other than 0/100 will trigger the bug)
Copy and paste an object with this gradient fill to Illustrator. Result: no fill color
Export object to PDF. Result: no fill color
C. Default gradient fill (0% to 100%) + add a third color = works fine
D. Same as C. but change the start and end colors as in B. Triggers the bug again
Bug verified in InDesign CS6 and CC on OS X 10.8.4
Bug verified by Adobe Support.

Hi everyone. I work for a large format printing company. We receive thousands of files every year from many different designers. We started to notice that gradients would drop out of some PDFs when opening them in Illustrator but they would preview fine when opened in Acrobat. I searched high and low for an explanation for this glitch. The only response I received is "Stop opening exported PDFs in Illustrator." This is an unsatisfactory answer for someone that needs to preflight directly in the Illustrator program. I've done a ton of research and have been racking my brain for the last 2 years and have finally found sufficient workarounds for this issue. The downfall with these workarounds: all spot colors located in the gradients will convert to CMYK mixes. I'm still researching to see if there is a way to keep spot colors intact in these areas.
A little back story: InDesign is converting the gradients into something called NChannel. It enables more accurate handling of color blending by including additional dot gain and color mixing info. Both InDesign and Acrobat have the ability to display these elements whereas Illustrator, from what I’m finding, does not. Which is why we’re seeing gradient elements drop out when opened in Illustrator.
Workaround for CMYK Gradients
Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
Color Type: DeviceCMYK
Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
Expand Document Colors on the right and Select DeviceCMYK in Color Spaces then click ok
Save the PDF
Workaround for 1 Spot Color in Gradients (Converts Spot Color located in Gradient to CMYK – all other Spots stay intact)
Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
Color Type: Spot Color
Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
Expand Document Colors on the right and Select the Spot that is located in the Gradient in Color Spaces then click ok
Save the PDF
Workaround for 2 Spot Colors in Gradients (Converts Spot Colors located in Gradient toCMYK – all other Spots stay intact)
Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
Color Type: Spot Color
Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
Expand Document Colors on the right and Select the DeviceN spot color that is located in the Gradient in Color Spaces then click ok
Save the PDF
Please test it and let me know if you run into any issues with these workarounds. I'm always looking for new problems to solve!

Exact positioning of pointers in gradient fills

I have a gradient fill with 8 pointers. I want them evenly
spaced apart. So far I have been eyeballing it. Is there a way to
position them at precise points? For example, in the Flash-clone
program Corel Rave, it displays a percentage (0 being at the left
of the bar, 100 being at the right). When you clicked on a pointer,
it would tell you the exact position and allow you to manually
enter a number. Can Flash Pro 8 do that?

no but a great idea - will add it to my personal wish-list
and see if it can't be added to flash 9.

When I highlight objects, I'm able to move them with the arrow key but I can't drag them with my mouse.

Without system info and other details like e.g. your settings for bounding box display nobody can tell you much.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

I made a reverse radial gradient to look like "sunlight" and I would like to move it to the top of my image to appear like the light is coming from above, but it won't allow me to move the radial gradient anywhere. I have CS6. Help please :)

Assuming you did this with a Fill Layer, double-click the thumbnail in the Layers panel to bring up the Gradient Fill dialog, see to it that the [ ] Align with layer checkbox is set, and (while the Gradient Fill dialog is still up) try dragging the gradient to where you want it on the main display. Then [ OK ] out of the Gradient Fill dialog.

[CS6] How can I move shapes (created with paths)?

[CS6]
I created shapes with the pen tool.
Then I selected the path selection tool and selected a path.
Clicked right mouse key, choosed "Fill Path..." or "Fill Subpath"
(don't know what it means). After filling with a color I get an object in
the form of the path and I can move the path to another place.
But I can't move the object in the shape of the path.
I can't move it with "Path selection tool" because it's no path.
Then I tried the "Move Tool" but I also can't select the object with it
instead the whole canvas is moving.
How can I select and move shapes which were
created with the pen tool?

You've drawn a Path then filled a region of a pixel layer.
To make Shape layers, use the Pen Tool in "Shape" mode set in the Options bar.
If you really do want to draw a Path and use it to create moveable pixel shape then do the fill with an empty layer targeted.

Want to move the mouse arrow without physical mouse

Hi There
I have my Mac Book connected to the TV almost 24x7 and I have a wireless keyboard and an apple remote but not the mighty mouse.
the issue is that I would like to be able to move the mouse arrow over the screen and click or doble click without having to buy a mouse. how can I do it? is that a combination like someting plus the arrow keys? is that possible to use the apple remote as a mouse? i mean it would be great too. is got the 4 directions and a button in the center for clicking.
any other solution?
many thanks in advance

Turn on keyboard navigation in the Keyboard shortcuts of Keyboard and Mouse prefs and you can use the keyboard to navigate through the menus, folders, etc. However, there is no way to drag.
Set full keyboard access to "All Controls" and you can tab through all the buttons in the dialog boxes. Use spacebar to "click" the selected button.
In the Finder, Cmd+down arrow opens a file/folder. Cmd+Up arrow goes up in the hierarchy.
Combine this with the previous tip and you can have it all, mostly.
Also, without any of that, esc or cmd+. cancels, and cmd+first letter of button usually selects the button. That last one is application specific.

Last point...who archives? On my regular email page I now have the Archive icon to the left of my Delete icon which I would prefer was to the left, first in the line as this is the icon I use mostly. With Folders, my Sent and Trash lists, who needs to archive?
I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

Press Command-Option-8 once or twice.
You have Zoom on. It is controlled in "Seeing" in "Universal Access" system preference, and by Control-Scrollwheel.
