A few questions. What result are you experiencing? Did PS Touch crash? Have you tried to force quit-and restart PS Touch? -Guido

Help with adding image onclick

Hey everyone,
I am making a simple game in AS3 and need help with adding an image once they have click on something.
On the left of the screen are sentences and on the right an image of a form. When they click each sentence on the left, writing appears on the form. Its very simple. With this said, what I would like to do is once the user click one of the sentences on the left, I would like a checkmark image to appear over the sentence so they know they have already clicked on it.
How would I go about adding this to my code?
var fields:Array = new Array();
one_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
one_btn.buttonMode = true;
function onClick1a(event:MouseEvent):void
    fields.push(new one_form());
    fields[fields.length-1].x = 141;
    fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
    this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);
    one_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
    one_btn.buttonMode = false;
    //gotoAndStop("one")
two_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2a);
two_btn.buttonMode = true;
function onClick2a(event:MouseEvent):void
    fields.push(new two_form());
    fields[fields.length-1].x = 343.25;
    fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
    this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);
    two_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2a);
    two_btn.buttonMode = false;
    //gotoAndStop("two")

I don't know where you're positioning the button that should enable/disable the checkbox but for "one_btn" let's just say it's at position: x=100, y=200. Say you'd want the checkbox to be to the left of it, so the checkbox would be displayed at: x=50, y=200. Also say you have a checkbox graphic in your library, exported for actionscript with the name "CheckBoxGraphic".
Using your code with some sprinkles:
// I'd turn this into a sprite but we'll use the default, MovieClip
var _checkBox:MovieClip = new CheckBoxGraphic();
// add to display list but hide
_checkBox.visible = false;
// just for optimization
_checkBox.mouseEnabled = false;
_checkBox.cacheAsBitmap = true;
// adding it early so make sure the forms loaded don't overlap the
// checkbox or it will cover it, otherwise swapping of depths is needed
addChild(_checkBox);
// I'll use a flag (a reference for this) to know what button is currently pushed
var _currentButton:Object;
one_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
one_btn.buttonMode = true;
function onClick1a(event:MouseEvent):void
     // Check if this button is currently the pressed button
     if (_currentButton == one_btn)
          // disable checkbox, remove form
          _checkBox.visible = false;
          // form should be last added to fields array, remove
          removeChild(fields[fields.length - 1]);
          fields.pop();
          // clear any reference to this button
          _currentButton = null;
     else
          // enable checkbox
          _checkBox.visible = true;
          _checkBox.x = 50;
          _checkBox.y = 200;
          // add form
          fields.push(new one_form());
          fields[fields.length-1].x = 141;
          fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
          this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);
          // save this button as last clicked
          _currentButton = one_btn;
     // not sure what this is
    //gotoAndStop("one")
I'd also centralize all the click handlers into a single handler and use the buttons name to branch on what to do, but that's a different discussion. Just see if this makes sense to you.
The jist is a graphic of a checkbox that is a MovieClip symbol in your library exported to actionscript with the class name CheckBoxGraphic() is created and added to the display list.
I made a variable that points itself to the last clicked button, when the "on" state is desired. If I detect the last clicked button was this button, I remove the form I added and the checkbox. If the last clicked button is not this button, I enable and position the checkbox as well as add the form.
What is left to do is handle the sitation where multiple buttons are on the screen. When a new button is pushed it should remove anything the previous button added. This code simply demonstrates clicking the same button multiple times to toggle it "on and off".

I need help with adding fire to an existing picture in elements 8

I'm a painting contractor and I'm trying to create a new picture for my buisness cards and tee shirts. What I want to do is put flames coming from a brush and work pot that I'm holding in my hands. I've looked everywhere on line, but I can't find exactly what I want. I'm hoping that someone in this forum will be able to help me. Thanks.

Okay, I have been playing with for a few days. Warning, this is going to be loooong. I do this differently in Photoshop but couldn't get it to work with the elements workset as it doesn't have the curves tool that Photoshop has so I had to find an alternate method to pump up the flames. Luckily, I ran into a video that used a method other than curves to get me on track. I assumed you want realistic flames...so I was pushing for how real could I make flames using paint and blend mode operations.
Edit: I should let you know that you can try to extract flames from other photos and composite them into your photo. First, need a good fire image. It works best if you can find a fire with a black background. Screen blend mode will drop out black. Try working with two copies of the image. Turn off the topmost copy of the flames. Leave the bottom flames in Normal blend mode. Mask or erase the outer edges of the flames with a soft brush so that only the interior of the flames are visible. Now, turn on the topmost version of the flames. Leave the topmost version of the intact...don't mask or erase anything. Change this topmost flame layer's blend mode to screen blend mode. If you see any problems with your flames, you can erase or mask any defects. You can duplicate the screen layer to brighten the effect. Use opacity to control the volume. This would be the easiest solution but you'll have to find some flames that trip your fancy. I haven't tried this out yet so can't say how much better or worse it would be than using a good set of flame brushes along with some blend mode tricks.
Below shows how close I can get using paint. I only used options available in PSE. I used layer masks that if you had PSE 9 would be native. Since you have PSE 8, you'll need to either download an install an add on that adds the basic layer mask function or use clipping masking.
Below is a link to a freeware set that includes layer masks. Install instructions are on that site.
http://www.cavesofice.org/~grant/Challenge/Tools/Files.html
If you want to go the clipping mask route, have a look at this tutorial:
http://www.photokaboom.com/photography/learn/Photoshop_Elements/layers/layer_groups_clippi ng_masks/1_layer_groups_clipping_masks.htm
Before and After the effect.
I would have posted sooner but had to find a workable solution to making the flames look realistic in Elements as I can’t use the curves tool as it isn’t native to Elements.
With the help of this YouTube video I came up with something…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOIBkWvHOqk&feature=related
I based this tutorial on the hue/sat numbers, blend modes, and blurs.
First, I downloaded a flame brush set. This set in specific:
http://luexo.deviantart.com/art/Scorching-Flames-Brushpack-92945924
The above set is really nicely done and has large high resolution brushes.
One thing I do not agree with in the video is the color used. White is hard to change in the Hue/Saturation dialog. Instead I use 50% gray as my paint color. This is easy to set…either use the 50% color swatch or open the Color Picker and set H to 0, S to 0, and B to 50...hex number is 808080.
Things to keep in mind include fire is gaseous, bright and the way it burns…it one direction, fire reflects and there is probably going to be some smoke.
In my example, I am going to set a lunch cake. Nice 4th of July theme. J
Let’s start my scorching the item that will be burned. In this case the lunch cake will be scorched.
Scorch the item…preparing to light it up.
1. Duplicate image and put image into Linear burn blend mode; opacity 100%. Add layer mask or erase everything but the item to be scorched…the lunch cake.
2. Duplicate layer you just made in step #1. Change the blend mode to Multiply 100%. Desaturate this layer. Image Adjustments<Hue/Saturation…move Master Saturation slider to -100. Take burn tool set to Range: Midtones; Exposure 35%; air brush on…and scorch the item. Make it kind of smudgy. You don’t want an even coat. Make it darker as you get closer to the flames.
Note: Here I’ve jumped ahead. I already know where my flames are going to be. Either visualize where you want your flames or jump ahead and laid down the basic paint and transform into the correct position. Turn off flame layer (s) when done. So step #3 if you do any repair work isn’t affected.
3. If you feel you need to do any clone repairs, create a composite image ctrl + shift + alt + e if on PC…cmd + shift + opt + e if on a Mac. Do the clone work on a blank layer over this. With clone tool selected, check the box in the options bar that says something like “All Layers”, “Use All Layers”, “Sample All Layers”…the box says one of those things beside it. I can’t recall which and not sure if it’s consistent between all versions of Elements. Anyway, Leave layer in Normal blend mode 100% and likewise leave tool in Normal blend mode…opacity to taste. Fix any defects on this layer. You can do the same thing with the healing brush if you need to do any healing. I find it best to heal to a separate layer and not mix and match the healing tool and clone stamp on the same layer.
4. Turn off or trash the Clone Stamp comp layer when finished with step #3.
Let’s Build a Fire…
5. Create a blank layer in the layers palette….Normal blend mode; 100% opacity. Make white your foreground color chip. Grab the paint brush tool…normal blend mode; 100% opacity. Paint one flame on your layer. I have used the 1220 sized flame near the bottom of the brush set I linked earlier. Use the transform command …Ctrl + t (PC) or Cmd + t (Mac)…to size and position the flame. I used also slightly warped the flame using transform warp. Since you don’t have that in Elements…slightly warp the flame in the liquefy dialog.
Note: The above flame is pretty much backlighting…you are done with it.
6. Change the color foreground color chip in your layers palette to 50% gray. Use the same brush tip you used in step #5. Size and position it so it closely matches the white flame in Step #5. Go to liquefy dialog and slightly warp it.
Note: The goal is for the flames in step #5 and step #6 to be very similar but not exact.
7.. Duplicate the 50% gray flame you made in step #6 twice. Turn off the top 50% gray flame for now.
Fire is Bright...
8. Now that video comes in that I linked.
(1) Blur the 50% gray flame with Gaussian blur. I used 6 pixels. Go to menu and click Enhance or is it Adjustments<Hue/Saturation…check the box that says “colorize”; change master sliders to Hue 42; Saturation 100; Lightness 0.
(2)Duplicate the flame you made above…step (1). Go to the menu bar and click Enhance or is it Adjustment<Hue/Saturation…change master sliders to Hue -43; saturation 0; Lightness 0. Change this layers blend mode to Color Dodge blend mode and merge down…Ctrl + e on PC; cmd + e on Mac.
Note: This layer will now say Normal blend mode; 100%.
(3)I duplicated the merged layer I now have from step (2). I changed the blend mode of this layer to Screen and set the opacity to 100%.
(4) I made a duplicate of the layer I have made in step (2)…the one that now says it’s in Normal blend mode; 100%… then blurred it with Gaussian blur. I used 46 pixels. I moved this layer down in my layers palette so that it rests beneath my other two colored flame layers. The white flame layer is directly below it. Leave this layer in Normal blend mode; 100% opacity.
9. Go back to 50% gray flame you made in step #6...visibility eye should be off. You should have two of these gray layers if not duplicate one so that you do have tow 50% gray flame layers. (These were not blurred.) These two layers need to be on the top of the stack. If they are not, move them up so that they are the top two layers. Turn on the visibility of the bottom 50% gray layer. Change the layer’s blend mode to Screen blend mode; opacity 100%. Grab the burn tool. Burn some of the flame base and randomly in the flame of the 50% gray. Press and hold in the alt key (PC) or the opt key (Mac) and dodge the tops of the flames and do some random dodge work.
10. Turn on the visibility for the top 50% gray layer. Leave this one alone…no dodge + burn. Set this layer to Screen blend mode; opacity 96%.
11. Add layer masks to white and color flame layers…not the gray ones. Paint away any unattractive color spill. Bright orange edges…bright white distractions where flame edges don’t align.
12. Make a composite layer of all layers up to date. Set this layer’s blend mode to multiply; opacity 47%. Add a layer mask and mask out everything but the flames. Tip: You can select the flames by ctrl + shift clicking on each flame layer thumbnail…the shift lets you add to a selection. On the Mac, cmd + shift click the layer thumbnails.
Flames Reflect…
13. Make a copy of one of your blurred color flames. Transform it so it rest over item that it should reflect on. In this case I have added a blurred flame onto my son’s eye. The flame is in Overlay blend mode; 33% opacity.
14 Several steps Eye enhancements to my son’s eye…omitted because it’s off topic
15. I used a gradient map with a fire like black/red/yellow/white gradient map set to Softlight blend mode; 17% to give my image a hint of a color cast. I masked it so only some skin, hair, and car areas have this slight color cast.
Where there’s fire there is going to be some smoke...
16. To make my smoke, I made a separate large document my photo size. I set my color chips to the default b/w. (Shortcut is D.) I went to menu bar and clicked Filter<Render<Clouds. Next I went back to my menu bar and clicked Filter<Render<Difference Clouds. I used Ctrl + f to repeat the Difference Cloud filter until I was happy with the effect…looking for swirled black lines…kind of like lightning. (If on a Mac, use Cmd + f to repeat a filter. I then used the transform command to enlarge the pattern I made. Be sure to scale it so that height and width both are enlarged equally. Next, go to the men bar and select<All ; Edit<Crop. You want to do to get rid of the excess. I think I transformed my patter to something like 200% which makes the file really big. You can do it on your image file but because of file size the transform will take a really long time. When happy copy/paste or drag/drop this pattern into your photo file.
17. Now blur pattern really good using Gaussian blur. Now, add a layer mask to your pattern layer. Click the layer mask in the layers palette to target it and run the the clouds and difference clouds on the mask just as you do on the pattern layer. Just those filters…no blur.
Basic smoke pattern final
18. Duplicate this layer w mask twice. You should have three smoke copies. Turn off all but the bottom pattern copy. Use the paint brush and paint black in mask to hide the smoke everywhere but where you want to keep it. Set this layer’s blend mode to Multiply blend mode; opacity 15%.
View of the inside one of the smoke layer masks
19. Turn on the visibility of the next smoke pattern. Again use a black paint to paint where you don’t want paint. (Make this variable as you want the smoke to be varying opacity.) Layer blend mode Multiply; opacity 15%.
20. Turn on the visibility of the next smoke pattern…top one in stack. Again use black to paint where you don’t want the smoke. Set this layer’s blend mode to Multiply blend mode; opacity 1%.
Fire is Gaseous...
21. Make a composite of all layers by pressing ctrl + shift + alt + e if on PC. Use Cmd + shift + opt + e if on a Mac. Blur your composite image. I used 3 pixels. Set the blend mode to Normal; opacity 64%. Add a layer mask and fill it with black paint to hide the blur effect. Use the paint brush with white paint in the layer mask to blur any sharp edges and base of flames. Remember flame is gaseous.
Above shows my layers for completed image. Notice the comp for clone layer is off. I did not need it after I did the clone to a blank layer to add some scorched cake around my son's fingers.

Need help with Applet: Images

DUKESTARS HERE, YOU KNOW YOU WANNA
Hi,
I'm designing an applet for some extra credit and I need help.
This game that i have designed is called "Digit Place Game", but there is no need for me to explain the rules.
The problem is with images.
When I start the game using 'appletviewer', it goes to the main menu:
http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/946/menuhy0.png
Which is all good.
But I decided that when you hover your cursor over one of the options such as: Two-Digits or Three-Digits, that the words that are hovered on turn green.
http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/6231/select1ch3.png
So i use the mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) from awt.event;
The problem is that when i move the mouse around the applet has thick line blotches of gray/silver demonstrated below (note: these are not exact because my print screen doesn't take a picture of the blotches)
http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/4974/annoyingmt1.png
It also lags a little bit.
I have 4 images in my image folder that's in the folder of the source code
The first one has all text blue. The second one has the first option, Two-Digits green but rest blue. The third one has the second option, Three-Digits green but rest blue, etc.

Oh yes, I knew there could be some problem.......
Now try this:
boolean a,b,c;
if((a=(x >= 175 && x <= 330 && y >= 200 && y <= 235)) && !hoverButton[0]) {
               hoverButton[0] = true;
               repaint();
          } else if((b=(x >= 175 && x <= 330 && y >= 250 && y <= 280)) && !hoverButton[1]) {
               hoverButton[1] = true;
               repaint();
          } else if((c=(x >= 175 && x <= 330 && y >= 305 && y <= 335)) && !hoverButton[2]) {
               hoverButton[2] = true;
               repaint();
          } else if ((!a && !b && !c)&&(hoverButton[0] || hoverButton[1] || hoverButton[2]){
                    for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
                         hoverButton[i] = false;
                    repaint();

Need help with adding formatted text and images to Crystal Report?

Here's my scenario:
I have a customer statement that's generated as a crystal report and that has a placeholder for advertisement. The advertisement is mixture of formatted text and images. Until now we only had one advertisement that was always used on the report. The new requirement is that we would have a pool of hundreds of advertisements and would need to display one specific advertisement on the customer statement based on various marketing criteria. They key is that the advertisement content will be determined programmatically and cannot be hardcoded into the report. I'm using Crystal2008 with .net SDK.
Here are the solutions I thought of, but I'm still rather lost and would appreciate your help/opinion.
1) Pass HTML or RTF to the report
Not really sure if this is possible and how to get it done. Also how would I pass in images? Would display formatting be reliable when exporting to PDF?
2) Create each add as a subreport and append it programatically
I actually have this working, but I only know how to append a new section to the end of the report and then load the subreport to the section. I have no other controll of the placement. Is there a way to dynamically load a subreport to a predefined section in the main report? How about adding a dummy subreport in the main report as a placeholder and then replacing it with a different subreport? How could I do this?
3) Pass an Image to the report
I would create each advertisement as an image and then would somehow add the image to the report. How would I load the image and control the placement? Could I somehow define a placeholder for the image in the main report-maybe a dummy image to be replaced?
Thank you.

Hello Pavel,
I would got the third way.
You can use dynamic images in your report.
Just by changing the URL to the image the image can be changed.
Please see the [Crystal Manual|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008/en/xir3_cr_usergde_en.pdf] and search for images.
or directly here

Need help with adding lightbox feature to images pulled from .js

Hello,
I've been attempting to add a lightbox to separate images (no group) in a responsive one page portfolio template. Unfortunately I'm not savy with this topic.
The template came with a hover action to apply what I would believe to be a light box image but no other documentation on how to add it to the images. I've looked everywhere.
The portfolio gallery is built in .js Here is some code The image code you see is just copied over and over to add images.
BTW - Lightbox mxp only allows you to add to an image when clicked on in the properties. These images are pulled from .js
Here is a link to the site:

You might want to correct your HTML errors first.

Your document contains links to jQuery scripts. But I don't see any lightbox in there. It appears to be using jQuery's core library as well as scripts for carousel and scrolling/show & hide features.

Need help with adding a Key flex field to a seeded OAF page

We have a seeded OAF page on which we already have Account Key Flex Field.
Properties of this flex field are:
The ApplShortName - SQLGL
Name - GL#
Type - Key
As per the client requirement, in the KFF screen, we have disabled the seeded structure for Accounting Flexfield and created a custom structure.
Our custom structure for the KFF is displayed correctly on the OAF page.
But now the requirement is to add a new KFF on the OAF page which is duplicate of the existing KFF, along with the existing KFF field; the structure and segments are same. Only difference being the display name of the existing KFF field is Account; the new one needs to be Tax structure.
Using personalization we added a new flex item and added the properties same as the existing KFF.
ApplShortName - SQLGL
Name - GL#
Type - Key
But the page is giving following error:
The data that defines the flexfield on this field may be inconsistent. Inform your system administrator that the function: KeyFlexfieldDefinitionFactory.getStructureNumber could not find the structure definition for the flexfield specified by Application = SQLGL, Code = GL# and Structure number =
We tried options like compiling the flexfield definition, but the error persists.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Kiranmayi.

Hi,
Please check whether your key flex structure is frozen or not. If now please freeze it and re compile and try.
This may helps too

New to AI and need help with individual images

Hi,
A client sent me her website mock up as an .eps file. I can open that in Illustrator but I'm having a hard time "grabbing" the individual images and putting them into Fireworks and then ultimately they need to make their way to Dreamweaver (I know how to do that part!)
Can I get some help on saving the individual images in the design so that I can use them again?
Thanks
Debi

It's important to note you don't have to use any other app. But if you're unfamiliar with Ai, it may be easier.
If you've got an item you can't seem to select in Ai you need to check if it's locked, the layer's panel should show a little lock next to any locked object. That's another one of those questions that's practically impossible to answer effectively without seeing the file.

Need help with adding shadows to a shape (gradient mesh?...blur tool?)

Hello. I'm an Illustrator novice, as you will be able to tell from my question. I'm somewhat familiar with the gradient mesh tool as well as the raster effects that Illustrator CS3 offers, but I can't figure out how to use them to do what I have to do.
Here's my situation. I'm creating a logo design. It is a musical note with a flame coming off of it. I want to add the appearance of the shape having shadows (yellow for the light areas, and red for the shadowed areas).
I can't get the gradient mesh tool to work because I'm assuming the shape is too complex. I understand that I could probably just create a bunch of different gradient mesh areas and just try to mesh them together, but is this necessary? ...and is chopping my shape into mulitple sections really the best method ? (it sure doesn't seem like the logical solution).
Then I tried using Illustrators blur effects. I'm concerned to even use them for a logo design, because the "blur" effect is raster, and with a logo; it's probably not wise to use anything raster, correct? Anyway...i can't get it to work. I created a shape using the pen tool to replicate the shape of the shadow. When i blur it, the blur is visable outside the original logo shape. I don't know how to make it stop at the path edge. Does anyone know how?
If anyone can please help me here, I would be more than grateful. I realize these questions probably stupid ones, but I just can't seem to figure out how to do this, despite reading tutorials and watching numerous youtube videos on the gradient mesh tool; I can't seem to figure out how to adapt it to my situation.
Here is the image I created in Photoshop. I am trying to duplicate it in Illustrator CS3.

Thanks Steve and Jet. I've spent the lasts 2 hours calling around to different print shops in hope that I can maybe trade labor for insight into their printing process. Problem is there seems to be a lack of 4 color offset printing companies who also offer spot colors. I really wish I had the money to take a class, but when I do, I will. I just contacted a few freelance designers who seem to have a lot of print work in their portfolios. Maybe they can teach me a thing or two, and in return I can drop them a few bucks or help them with something.
Jet, you've got me very concerned here. What do you mean by "It's not just a matter of selecting colors; it's also a matter of selecting the number of inks necessary to render them in the various reproduction methods in which the mark will be used"? Are you just stating the importance in using swatch books (Pantone)?
You mention the importance of a design being rendered in different forms (apparel, signs, promotional items..). So how should I go about doing this? Lets say a client wants a "mark" printed on all of the things you stated. Is it my duty to find out what printer they will be using before I submit design files to them? Is it the job of the designer to contact the print shop and get their profiles for different prints (glossy paper prints, matte paper prints, t-shirt printing, vehicle graphic printing)? This is all very time consuming, so should there not be extra charges when dealing with setting up different print settings for particular print jobs?
I've read the blogs of some successful logo designers. David Airey for example just submits his logo design to his client in eps form I believe (plus any requests). Should he be submitting a separate file for each intended use, or is this the job of the client and printer to work out?
You've got me extremely worried that I am going to really deal someone a bad hand here. As far as I know, this hasn't happened yet; but I'm glad you have me concerned. The sad part is that I do have a 2 year degree in graphic design and I didn't learn one thing about printing and it's association with color. The little I have learned is from the internet. I've checked out Amazon(dot)com for a good book on learning about color and print, but there seems to be a lack of recently written books (with reviews) regarding the subject. Can you recommend any?
I started doing freelance work because people would ask me to design a t-shirt for them, or a flyer for their small business. So I did. Now I have more people requesting my services. It's hard to turn down the money, especially in these times. But at the same time, I don't want to cause major headaches for anyone either. Until recently, I had no idea the complexity of the design to print process. Just 3 days ago, I purchased a monitor calibration device and my first set of Pantone guides. They should arrive shortly. I know, don't laugh.
My lack of knowledge regarding this whole thing has really got me questioning what I am doing. I figured all i really needed to know in Illustrator was to use the pen tool, since my use of Illustrator has been strictly for shaping logos.
There are just so many questions I have, and all can't be answered through a google search. I really don't like wasting your time with my ignorance, but I do appreciate your assistance. It takes some time for my little brain to absorb all of this, but I have been reading all I can from the endless tutorials and forum discussions available on the web. The problem I've found is that alongside the large amount of great info on the web, there is seemingly an equal amount of contradictory or partially inaccurate info as well. which only confuses me more. For example, most people say to design in cmyk for print (300dpi higher or vector). A rep from Pantone told me to create my designs using Pantones color swatch groups. Why would I want to start in Pantone? Don't all of their colors cost extra money (spot colors require a new printer plate and ink to be set up). Starting in cmyk seems like a more logical approach. Is he just trying to sell me Pantone?
Sorry for my redundant question regarding the concern for non-single colored paths not being able to join. You obviously answered my question with your example.
For your time, I would like to show my appreciation. If you wouldn't' mind leaving your paypal address, I can send ya a couple/few bucks. Books are great, but they can't answer all questions. Forums like this one are really very helpful and a great learning tool. I do realize I have to continue educating myself as much as possible. I'm not going to give up, that's for sure.
So, do you work for Adobe, or are you a graphic designer? Do you have a website with tutorials or a book I can buy lol?
It would be great to be able to see a walkthrough in the design process of a successful designer and the proper methods of designing for different forms of print.

Need help with EVENT BOOKING: option for multiple, payment (pay pal standard or pro only) add cost, etc

Hello!
I'm at my wits end: please help! It seems straight forward, and I sold my client on BC thinking this was doable in the events module, but it seems maybe not so without a ton of custom coding.
1. Book an event online,
with option for multiple (say 1-5 people at a fixed cost per person),
and checkout using only Pay Pal (standard or pro, doesn't matter, but I think Standard won't work without shopping cart).
2. The events are every day but Sunday all year long (just admission to an attraction), so is there a way to upload months in advance so they don't have to be manually entered?
I'm so grateful for any assistance.

This is all very achievable:
• Events you can add multiple people to book.
• PayPal you use use our APP that's in the BC Appstore (Liam to confirm is works with bookings)
I'm sales and marketing at Pretty, so I'm not the person to advise on how all this fits together. But I'm sure Liam can point you in the right direction.
If you need some consulting or us to do it for you just let me know [email protected]

Need help with Rollover Image cross browser problem

Hello,
I am having a cross browser problem with my websites rollover nav links. The trouble is, while they work perfectly fine in IE8 and IE9, I’ve also attempted to use them through Opera, and they simply don’t work. They don’t link nor do they do their rollover effect. And I was trying to figure out what I have done wrong. Currently the site is not completed, but the first two pages are, the “news” and “about me” pages are currently (as of right now) working. The address to the site is below.
http://maxmetal.xsustudios.com/index.html
I hope that someone can help me with this, if needs be I can put the code for the CSS and HTML into this part if it will save some time for everyone. Sorry too about the PNG images, I have to change those over to semi-transparent GIF’s yet so the site does take a while to load…
Hope someone can help me with this!

When I disable CSS in my browser, the rollover buttons work just fine. This tells me your CSS is messed up and you've layered something over your menus which is making them inaccessible to users.
I noticed you've applied relative positioning to just about everything on your page. Why?   Default CSS positioning (unspecified or static) is all you need for 98% of layouts.

Need help with my image filter

hi guys,
so i'm making this image filter for school in Labview but can't get it to work properly, to do the filtering i'm using a formula node, which in my eyes is easier then with only labview functions.
for the C code i'm following this website: http://lodev.org/cgtutor/filtering.html
i don't copy exact every line, i'm only copying the lines i need. note that i don't use the "ColorRGB" class because it doesn't exist in a formula node, i do the filtering on a black and white image so don't really need it.
I adjusted to code so that it would work in my formula node.
if i run the vi and select the attached image file (can't attach .bmp files so i included a link for the img file) for input then it just returns the original image, which is good and also bad, good because the code works in some way but bad because it doesn't do any filtering or such.
Could anyone please look into this and give me some tips or tell me what i'm doing wrong?
and if anyone knows how to do this in RGB you are always welcome to give me tips.
used image file: http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/74810991/file.html (can't attach bmp files so i uploaded it quickly)
(btw i know there is this toolkit called vision which has many functions that could help me, but the teacher already said we can't use that)
i hope somebody can assist me in this and willing to give me some help.

Yes there are two bugs, I found the other one first but figured if you fixed the result the other would be obvious. This is homework so only a hint:
look at what happens (and does not happen) to pixel.
the first bug was that i had to use the 'result[][]' array instead of the 'image[][]' array in my last loop, right?
the 2nd bug I really can't find :s been lookin at it for almost an hour now and trying new stuff but nothing works,
first i thought i had to put this line " result[x][y] = min(max(int((factor2 * pixel) + bias2), 0), 255);" inside the for loop above but that didn't fix my problem,
maybe the problem is in my 'imageX' and 'imageY' variable, i don't know? any more tips?
I'm sorry for being such a newb but programming isn't my strongest quality.

Just one more advice:
Look at the format of the "image" array. The way how to use the values from this array depends on the "image depth" parameter.
In your case, because the image is 8bit, you need to use the "colors" array containing the real RGB value.
Look at the Help for the "Read BMP File VI", you should be able to properly handle your pixels from there.
thanks for pointing that out for me, so I connect the 'totalpix' array with the 'colors' array from the image data instead of the 'image' array, that's correct right?
