Multiple layers movie

At our company we have a project in which we use multiple layers (z-index) for a website.
A background layer
A layer with a movie-frame
A layer with a presenter
A layer with buttons and actions
Now is my question how to resolve this best in Flex. We were able to do it in PHP and Flash, but the result (quality) isn't optimal.
The layer with the presenter is a filmed presenter in front of a greenscreen (and then a cut-out), but this result isn't sharp enough.
Does anyone know how we can build this in Flex, with a minimal loss of quality?

When have multiple layers, move images and text all starting from background layer

Greetings
I have an image that has some 24 layers, many of these are text. When trying to move the images and text all on the same layer yesterday, I ran into problems, but eventually fixed by moving these items starting from the background layer, by using Ctrl\Move.
This worked so well that I thought I would show my fellow learners at our regular Friday session on Elements 11 at SeniorNet. However when I went to show them I could move easily and freely on the background layer - without using Ctrl, just the move tool. Elements simply moved very quickly from the background layer to the relevent layer with the image or text (as before ?).
Cannot understand why I could not do that in the first place at home, but I had lots of tries there. What circumstances could have been different ?

Did you have "Auto Select Layers" ticked on the tool's option bar?
It is not clear to me what the ultimate goal of your demonstration is. You can combine the 24 layers into one layer (referred to as stamp visible layer) without flattening the layer structure. To do this, do the following:
Open a blank layer at the top of the stack of layers in the layers palette
Press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E on the keyboard
You can work on this stamp visible layer. The layers below will not be impacted. If you don't like what you have done, simply delete the stamp visible layer, then start over.

Photoshop Elements select tool, when targeting layer or multiple layers the layer properties box pops up. Having to very carefully and repeatedly select and highlight layers to move, or merge when using Move Tool. Win 8, Adobe 12, Intuos 4 w/ updated dr

This issue has been going on for several weeks.
The Move Tool is not functioning properly when selecting and TARGETING a layer or multiple layers, as the Layer Properties box pops up requiring me to close it and try again.
How to reset or is there an update and fix for this issue.
Using Win 8, Elements 12, and Intuos 4 Pen and Tablet.

To reset the tool I suggest click on it once and then look for something like this in the bottom half of your window:
In the above picture I have marked one section in red box. You need to click on it to get the option to either reset the only tool you have clicked or to reset all the tools in the editor window. Of course you have to be in Expert Mode to get this to work.
Good luck.

How to select and move objects on multiple layers

Coming from Photoshop... how do I move the contents of multiple layers across the page at one time?
In photoshop, i would click on one or more layesr in the Layers panel, and then use the move tool to move them all on the page. How do I do that in Fireworks? It seems to be too basic to be documented anywhere I have seen but the interaction is very different. I tried ctrl-clicking on multiple layers and sometimes is seems to work. the objects are selected and I can move them. Other times, it just refused to select anything or it only select the object within one of the selected layers.
It sort of looks like selecting a layer selects objects in that layer unless the layer has a child layer. Is that true? Seems a strange limitation if it is.
I saw a comment somewhere that suggrested grouping and ungrouping which seems a little complicated for a basic editing action. Also, if it won't select the objects on all of the selected layers.
I'm guessing that I'm missing a basic concept in Fireworks here.

I found that It worked if I selected a layer, if there is a child layer
then shift>select and ctr+click other layers or objects. You could also
lock layers/objects you don't want to move and use Select>Select All, if
you are moving most items.

Move/Copy multiple Layers to other document with Script

Hello, I have one question to how move or copy multiple layers to other document?.
With this script i can move one by one:
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var moveLayer1 = docRef.artLayers.getByName('Title');
var moveLayer2 = docRef.artLayers.getByName('Background');
var moveTo = app.documents.getByName('Untitled-1');
var layerRef = moveLayer1.duplicate( moveTo, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
var layerRef2 = moveLayer2.duplicate( moveTo, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
but i need move two layer in one step....

var docRef = app.activeDocument;
select_layer("Title");
select_layer("Background", true);
var moveTo = app.documents.getByName('Untitled-1');
duplicate_active_layer(docRef, moveTo);
function select_layer(name, add_to_sel)
    try {
        var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putName( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), name);
        desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref );
        desc.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID( "MkVs" ), false );
        if (add_to_sel) desc.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID( "selectionModifier" ), stringIDToTypeID( "selectionModifierType" ), stringIDToTypeID( "addToSelection" ) );
        var ok = true;
        try { executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "slct" ), desc, DialogModes.NO ); } catch(e) { ok = false; }
        ref = null;
        desc = null;
        return ok;
    catch (e) { alert(e); throw(e); }

    try {
        app.activeDocument = src_doc;
        var d = new ActionDescriptor();
        var r1 = new ActionReference();

Import Illustrator File with multiple layers and sublayers as composition retaining all layers and sublayers

I have drawn a country map with multiple layers and sublayers including streets, cities, rail lines, ...
Now I want to create a template for my collegues in After Effects.
For this I want to import the .ai file into After Effects retaining all sublayers and layers in compositions and subcompositions.
When I do that, I get the first couple of layers correctly, the other ones comes in one merged composition.
What can I do, to get all layers each as a layer in After Effects?
Yours, Raphael

Illustrator only imports the first level of layers. If you have groups or paths below you need to release the groups to layers. The layers will then be stacked in order as sub layers. Then you need to move them up.
The steps are to select a layer in the Illustrator layer panel, then without selecting any specific element in the layer click on the menu in the top right corner and select release to layers. All a elements in that layer will be converted to layers. Now select them all and drag them up above the original layer. This will leave the original layer empty and put all elements in new layers.
Here's a tutorial I did a zillion years ago which uses this technique to turn a blend into a morph.

Moving multiple layers in html5+limejs

Hai am worikng on multiple moving layers in html5+ limejs.
How can i move multiple layers ? can someone help me?

I found this - it worked perfectly!

Expression / Linked slider for controlling multiple layers

I'm trying to create a slideshow with many many layers. Image sizes vary across the board.
I'd like to line them all up and set some Ken Burns keyframes on the scale before I use keyframe assistant to sequence them.
Is there anyway I can control these keyframes with relative values? So that I scale multiple layers in the same manner although they have different concrete values?

You can set up an expression that automatically starts a scale and a move on an image, tie variables to Effects Control Sliders and save the whole set as an Animation preset. That way you can drop all your photos in a time line, Scale and position the layer in it's final resting place, then set an out point for each layer, then elect them all and apply an animation preset and sequence the layers. EZ as pie, once you write the expression.
To setup an auto scale expression you simply divide the height of the composition by the height of the current layer and multiply by 100. Adding an expression Control Checkbox to layer and naming it AutoScale will give you the ability to turn auto scaling of the layer on or off. Here's the expression:
h=height;
ch = thisComp.height;
s = ch/h * 100;
if (effect("AutoScale")("Checkbox") == 1) {
ns = s}
else
ns = value[0];
[ns, ns, 100]
Use caution because this will scale a layer up to fill the comp height as well as scale a layer down. Also take note that if your layer is scaled down more than 50% you are probably not getting the best results in terms of image clarity or render times. Ideally any 2d footage layer in your composition should be some where close to 100% scale at some point in the composition. If the layer is 3D then the distance between the camera and the 3D layer should be approximately equal to the zoom value at some point in the composition with the layer at 100% scale.
Just for fun, try this Effects Preset that I have in my collection. Make the layers 3D, position them at their ending position, set an out point, then apply the animation preset. The layer will fade in and move to the ending position then fade out. You have a point control to control the starting point and a switch to make the layer fit the comp vertically. You can control the fade in - fade out time in frames, set easing, setup rotation, and there is a setup switch to kill opacity changes so you can see the starting and ending setup for your layers.
3DSlideshow.ffx
It's a good idea to start building your own animation presets library so you can have access to complex expressions with a click or two. I have more than 200 in mine. I pointed an alias to a dropbox account so I can have access to all my presets anywhere I am in the world.

That's what APDivs do. This is the single most common problem new people have with web page layouts. DO NOT use positioning. You don't need it. Start over. Learn to use CSS floats, margins and padding to align elements.

MULTIPLE place image import...& "save as.." multiple layers to multipage PDF

Hello,
just some suggestions I`d like to see to speed up my set up and output..
i`d like to import multiple placed images into illustrator CS4. So open dialogue box place, and multiple select images for placing.
regards output save as...
Can we output multiple layers into a single PDF in illustrator? Or multiple layers into single JPEGS from illustrator with one command instead of individually saving out each layer... would be a huge time saver for me.I create different artworks on different layers..
Currently I output each completed layer individually and then right click those outputted jpegs in their output folder and choose "combine supported files into acrobat..." to make a single acrobat file..i`d like to do this right in the illustrator "save for PDF" dialogue box. Adding something in the Save for PDF output dialogue box to save layers to one PDF as multiple pages would be a helpful time saver..
I`d also like to be able to CTRL click multiple layers and go " save as..." only those layers get saved out...

, bridge -FILE/PLACE into ai, goes to separate layers in AI as placed.
in PS, bridge/tools/ps/load files into ps layers.. CS4.
just using right click in explorer on individual PDF docs from layers saved from PS to combine to PDF. but cannot output multiple pds from layers in AI in CS4.

How to multiple layers in the MAP web item?

Hi experts,
I'm working on a demo with BWGIS. I encounter several problems with the MAP web item.
My demo:
QA results visualized on global (region object - e.g. Europe, Asia), country (country object) and plant level. Use geo-drilldown to navigate into the lower layers functionality to get from the global view to the countries within one region and plants within one country.
My settings:
Region is a static geo-characteristic. For region I used the cont200.shp file. Also country is a static geo-characteristic, here I used cntry200.shp. For test I used ARCGIS to draw (points) some example plants in the country shape file. I uploaded this shape file to the plant object (also static).
My success:
I'm able to display the QA results in a separate global or country view within the 3.x Web template.
My problems:
A) The map web item in 7.0 does not display any data: it looks like no link can be made between the query result and graphic although we installed the latest IGS.
B) I'm not able to drilldown from a global view to the countries within one region (doubleclick on one region in global view) within the 3.x Analyzer and 3.x Web template.
My first question is about the concept of BWGIS:
1) I want to use geo-drilldown (double-click) to navigate to the lower layers. For example in the global view I see only the QA result per region (shape file of region object) -> doubleclick on Europe, I expect to zoom in to Europe and see the QA results for all the countries in Europe (shape file of country object). How do I modell this in the web application designer?
alt. 1a: 1 map 1 layer - 1 dataprovider - underneath 1 query with region and country in the row is not allowed, so how to navigate between the two geo-relevant objects?
alt. 1b: 1 map - 2 layers (2 shape files) - 2 dataproviders - 2 queries, one with QA result per region and one per country -> in that case both will be displayed at the same time, is not what I want. How to navigate between the two layers?
alt. other ?
2) I know how to make maps with multiple layers in ARCGIS, but do I need this for BWGIS, because one layer is one shape file? So do multiple layers in the map web item correspond to multiple layers in a ESRI ArcMap Document.
More specific questions:
3) Is there a lot of experience with the map web item in 7.0, documentation and working examples? Are there known problems (I can't find anything in sap notes). Is it better to still use the 3.5 Web Application Designer for this?
4) There is very little information on SAP help, SDN and other forums about BEx Map and moreover the MAP web item. Does anyone have more documentation for me?
Thanks in advance.
With kind regards,
Rick Stoll

Hi Rick,
I am working on the same topic. I am strongly interessted in solutions to your open questions, that you pulled forward in the past.
Did you make any progress?
Thanks in advance and regards

How to change blending mode on multiple layers at the same time

I'm using CS5. I have a document with about 70 layers. I would like to change the blending mode to "lighten" for each layer. Is there an easy way to do this?

Photoshop doesn't allow multiple layer editing. That's why the styles are grayed out. Only 1 layer at a time.
What version are you talking about?
CS5 definitely let’s one apply a Style to multiple Layers.
rfcommagere, I don’t know how to make it much clearer:
• set the Blending Mode on one Layer
• with that Layer selected create a Style with »Include Layer Blending Options« checked
• select all other Layers that should have that Blending Mode
• click the Style in the Styles Panel

How to share the same mask across multiple layers?

Say one needs multiple layers, one above another, to share the same layer mask. Is there any smart way to tell all those layers they have to use the same mask? As opposed to copying the same mask into all layers. The latter approach has the disadvantage that, when you need to change the mask, you need to copy it again into all layers that must share it.
Thank you.

Put the Layers in a Set and apply the mask to that.

How do I create holes through multiple layers?

I'd like to use boxes to punch holes into the layered artwork below them. I want the result to look exactly like this image, but with the white boxes being transparent holes.
This seems so simple, but I can't find any combination of layers/pathfinder tools/compound shapes/or clipping masks that will produce this result. No matter what, I end up losing part of the artwork (usually the topo lines and the black bar).
What am I missing??
Thanks in advance for any advice.

mirvlem,
You may:
1) Select the boxes to become holes and Object>Group (if nort already);
2) Select everything and in the Transparence palette flyout tick Make Opacity Mask with Clip unticked and Invert mask ticked.
There seems to be no need for multiple layers, but the Opacity mask punches through them all right.

How to get radio behavior for multiple embedded movies on a single page?

Hi,
I've got a single XHTML page with multiple embedded movie objects. The movies all play fine. I would like to convert the page to achieve a radio-style behavior for the movies so only one is running at any time. That is, if I click on a movie that's not running, the movie that is running will stop before the new movie begins. Any ideas on how this can be achieved? This might be more of a javascript question, but I was hoping somebody might have already done something similar. Thanks.
Paul

Roy,
It's an ugly solution but you can always add a hidden dummy structure item or KF and add all variables in the first executed query in the workbook.
- Find the query that has the most of the infobjects used in the other queries.
- Make sure this query is executed first in WB by removing/adding it in WB.
- Create the hidden dummy KF and add all the extra variables to this KF.
Solution usually works fine for me, but its not really feasible if the queries are have to many different infoobjects.
