Ohhh here is a tricky one...overlapping colours

Just when you thought you could do everything something comes and bits you in the bum.
I am doing a 'simple' animation with various shaps around a screen, two circles mainly. When they overlap, I would like the overlapping area to turn to a different colour? (its animated)
I am totally clueless on this one....any ideas?

I thought of something slightly different than Adam - maybe a bit simpler...
I used a color generator, added 2 masks to it, put my two moving shapes in the mask wells (then turned the shapes back on), set both of their mask modes to Intersect. That way they only work when they cross.
If you click on the image, you can download the project...

Overlapping coloured objects

I am using CS2 on Windows XP professional.
I want to create a graphic in Illustrator which I can use in a document in InDesign. I want to combine simle objects filled with different colours and where they overlap I want the colours to blend. Then I want the graphic to sit on another background colour (but not blend with it) in InDesign. I have tried different ways of doing this without success. I know it has to be simple - but when you know how.
I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Frank

Hi Harron. When I was writing the last post, I realised it was somewhat clumsy. What I meant was that each object in the graphic has only one colour; but each object has a different colour. Sorry to be obscure. I hope you enjoy your drink - single or different.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I think I have achieved what I want. I created the graphic in Illustrator. Grouped overlapping objects and used Effects>Pathfinder>Soft Mix and chose a blend of 50%. That has produced the effect I wanted. I then placed the graphic in InDesign and when I select View>Overprint Preview, the overlapping colours look fine and they are not affected by the background colour of the page in InDesign.
I'm happy with what I've done. But I would be grateful if you would let me know if you can see a problem with it. I don't want to get the job back and find it is somewhat less than I was looking for. A possible problem I can imagine is not achieving a clean fit of the colours where they join and overlap - sometimes I notice in pubications a tiny bit of white or other colour where two colours join.
Many thanks for your help. It has been a good exercise for me as I learnt more about Pathfinder which I have not previously used in this way. I was also able to successfully break up the objects and colour the resulting pieces - as suggested above by Philip.
Thanks
Frank

How to set DataGrid one cell colour

I want to set one cell colour in DataGrid,for example,when a
set a CheckBox in DataGrid ,I want letset this Cell's colour
change

One way to work around this, might be to create your own
cellrenderer with an extra backround movie clip. So as you pass the
value of the check box, either you set the fill color of the BG
movie clip or just hide/show the BG clip.
I hope the following brief script might be of help,
class myCell extends UIComponent
var bg:MovieClip;
var cBox:CheckBox;
function createChildren(Void) : Void
// Create a new CheckBox
// Create a new Background Clip
bg = this.createEmptyMovieClip("bg_mc" , 0);
bg.beginFill(color, fill);
bg.moveTo(0, 0);
bg.lineTo(4, 0);
bg.lineTo(4, 4);
bg.lineTo(0, 4);
bg.lineTo(0, 0);
bg.endFill();
size();
function size(Void) : Void
super.size();
this["bg_mc"]._width = width;
this["bg_mc"]._height = height;
invalidate();
function setValue(cellVal) : Void
if (cellVal == true)
bg._visible = true;
else
bg._visible = false;
Notes: BG: is the background movie clip.
You will need to use AS based cellrenderer

How do i get both mine and my wifes iPhones to photo stream. hers is the only one doing it

how do i get both mine and my wifes iPhones to photo stream. hers is the only one doing it

The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

Only one person coloured while all around is black and white

I'm wondering if it is possible to maintain in a clip only one person coloured while other people and background go black and white... (it is a normal shot, not chroma key)

yes you can, it is called rotoscoping, essentially you need to create a mask and animate it with key frames for the duration required. Motion or AE probably your beat bet. There are a few other options depending on your footage and how you shot it but given that you have other moving subjects inthe frame masking may be the easiest.

Calling function in procedure...A tricky one

hi guys,
Here is a tricky thing ...
There is actually a Whole book which has Risk and XYZ portfolio books and other books as well.
The below procedure actually select the risk books based on FLAG =N else it will select all the books.
Now i need to modify this....
Here is a thing .....instead of selecting all the books it should select XYZ portfolio list.
Actually there is function in a package called PKG.TEST_func, This function lists all the books
Now all i need to do is call this function in the procedure in the else part and pass the parameter for XYZ portfolio books.
HOW DO I DO THIS????
create or replace procedure TEST
flg in varchar2 ,
     cur_out out sys_refcursor
as
begin
if upper(flg) = 'N' then
     open cur_out for
          select distinct Book
          from bookmgr.VW_book@bookmgr_dbln
          where RISK_REP_FLG = 'N'
ORDER BY book;
Else
open cur_out for
select distinct Book
from bookmgr.VW_book@bookmgr_dbln;
end if;
end test;
Please let me know if u have any questions....
Thank you so much in Advance....I m kinda of newbe to this world. I appriciate you help..
thanks
-sunny

It will be something like ...
Else
    cur_out :=PKG.TEST_func('XYZ portfolio list') ;
end if;Of course,m it is your system, so only you know the actually value of the parameter.
Cheers, APC

Here's an unusual one: RecenMacbook Pro has installation message on shutdown?

Here's an unusual one: Recently my Macbook Pro Mid 2010 Intel Core Duo (OS10.8.5) displays this message upon shutdown or restart:
Continue the Installation?
Yes / Abort. I am not installing anything at the time. In fact I always quit all Applications before shutting down.I sometimes click abort, never "Continue" or it goes away by itself in 15 seconds or so and shuts down normally. Ideas?
Not so concerned as curious...No ill effects that I see.

You may have partially installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. In addition to the files listed in the support article, you may also have to remove the following in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.Installer.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.Installer.completer.ltvbit.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.Installer.completer.update.plist
~/Library/Application Support/IM.Installer/Completer.app
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
If you find Apple's instructions too hard to follow, ask for an alternative that doesn't require you to trust a black-box application without knowing what it does.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Using the app "find my I Phone"....is there a way I am able to add my step daughters phone to mine if her mother already has one set w her phone?

Using the app "find my I Phone"....is there a way I am able to add my step daughters phone to mine if her mother already has one set w her phone?
I have my children's phones downloaded and working properly using the " Find my I Phone"

For you to be able to use "find my iPhone" to find your children's devices, you would need to have their appleID and password - and enter it each time. You can only locate one at a time.
You may find better results using "find my friends", as you can display multiple devices in the single app.
You will need to download find my friends on all the devices, and add & accept the requests, but then you would be able to see everyone.

How does one overlap text and images

I have the text box and the image on the Pages doc and when I move either to overlap the other, the one not selected "darts" away

Select the image.
If it is an inline object, change it to Floating.
Click the Wrap button and select 'none'.
Place the image where you want it.
Select the text box.
Resize it to a close fit around the text.
Drag it to the image.
   If the text slides behind the image:
   with the text box still selected,
   go Arrange > Move forward
   repeat until the text is visible in front of the image.
Adjust the placement as necessary.
Change the text colour as needed.
Select both the text box and the image.
Go Arrange > Group to join the two objects in a single group.
Regards,
Barry

Annoying Safari "problem"... a tricky one that has confounded others

OK, so a confession...I prefer the world of Windows to the Mac environment. Simply because it's....simple. The Mac life is just too tricky/complicated (take for example, how hard it is to ever find a picture in iPhoto, compared the simplicity of storing pics in a folder!). I digress. I use a Mac because I love the hardware and some of the beauty. But I have one snare in Safari that drives me nuts.
If I have used Google, searched on something, clicked on a link or two, and then go to edit my search....the search line automatically reverts to the previous search. You can imagine how annoying this is if the previous search was very different, and all I wanted to do was correct some spelling or something.
Funky, no?

Yup, I posted on this issue yesterday. No responses as yet. Googling it ( ! ) reveals a few other people experiencing the same thing. It can be a royal pain the backside, can't it? I'm here to sympathise only, I'm afraid.
Any ideas gratefully received, readers.

HP Officejet Pro L7580- here's a new one for HP Mac Architect

So like all the other disgruntled HP users who foolishly installed 10.5 when it was released, I have been without a scanner ever since. Until three days ago, however, I've been able to print, as the driver for the L7580 was included in Leopard. Now, whenever I try to print a document, the print queue opens and the job says "stopped", which, incidentally, is the same thing that happens when I send a print job to my other once-was-a-printer-now-just-a-giant-waste-of-space, the Canon LBP5000. I've racked my brain trying to think if I've done something to trigger this, pestered the HP call in support center, installed, uninstalled and installed the printer again, restarted, replaced the USB cable- anything I can think of. Nothing works. I run a small business and while it's been a huge inconvenience to lose my not so inexpensive scanner, I've made due with an old one waiting for HP to get their act together and release software that actually works with 10.5. Needless to say, I cannot work without a printer. Am I going to have to go back to Tiger now? Spend untold thousands of dollars on a printer that probably won't work with leopard anyway? Can anyone advise? HP Mac Architect?

Try this for a Quick Fix ...........
After reading other forum comments from people having the same problem with the yellow cartridge popping-out, combined with others who have realised that HP have no interest in compensating anyone for this rediculous example of, at best, 'bad design', or at worst 'blatent planned obsolescence', I have created a 'quick fix' that may add another 1, 2 or more years of life to the HP Officejet Pro L7580 Printer.
This is not the elegant technical solution I was hoping for. However, in hindsight, it may prove to be a more reliable solution than replacing the faulty part that is actually causing the problem. So, here it is the Quick Fix ........
I found a wooden triangular door stop that I cut to size that fitted exactly in the space between the plastic door and the offending yellow cartridge. To hold it in place, I wrapped the doorstop with 2" cellotape, then I stuck the door stop to the inside of the plastic door with double sided cellotape (double sided stick-on foam would also work well). With the doorstop in the correct place, the plastic door closed perfectly and was snug enough to apply sufficent pressure to the offending yellow cartridge, and hence stopping it from popping out again. To make sure the plastic door does not 'fly open' with the pressure of the yellow cartridge (when it wants to pop out!), I applied another piece of 2" cellotape around the outside of the door, holding it to the body of the photocopier.
This exercise only took 10-15 mins to do. I feel this is a much better option than spending another $300+ on a new All-in-One system, as well as being a good environmental solution. If this is DELIBERATE 'planned obsolescence', companies like HP need to be more accountable for, at best, 'sloppy design'. Any feedback would be appreciated.

One of the computers on my homesharing network is automatically downloading purchases even though settings are not checked for this to occur? What am I missing here? BTW only one of the three computers (pc) is doing this.

We have three computers (two pcs and one mac) on our home sharing network. When I buy a song on my pc it is automatically downloading it to my husband's pc - but not my daugher's mac. The settings on each library do not indicate any items should automatically download. What am I missing here? This is a relatively recent thing I just noticed. It was not always happening in this way. Help. Both pcs are on Windows 7. Thanks in advance for any help. My husband and I don't always like the same songs so I need help to get back to marital bliss....

I think I found the answer to my own problemin case anyone experienced the same thing. There is a separate spot in itunes under preferences to allow for automatic downloads from other devices. It seems unrelated to home sharing. I unchecked the boxes under the "store" section and that appears to have taken care of the issue.

Here's a bizarre one: Please help!

So I have a really strange problem with my AT&T iPhone and how it displays text messages:
I first notcied the problem on my iPhone 3Gs a few months ago and when I upgraded my plan and switched over to the new iPhone 4s, the problem was still there- so I'm just assuming, right off the bat- it's a software issue and NOT a hardware issue.
Here's the deal:
I get text messages all the time like everyone else. I hate when the convos start to pile up so I delete them after a while. Well, I deleted a converstaion I had between my cousin and I (as well as all the others) so that nothing was present in my text messaging screen. A few minutes later, my husband texted me and when I went back to the main section that shows all of your convos with everyone- as I was planning on deleting that convo with him- I noticed my texts between my cousin and I were back on the screen- even though I know I deleted them.
Funny thing is- the texts did not reappear as "new" text messages or alert me. There was no blue bubble next to them. It was as if I had already read them and never deleted them. But I did delete them. How did they magically reappear?
Well- this continued every other day where I would delete them again and then someone else would text me and when I looked back on the main text messaging screen- her texts were back again. This happens not every day- sometimes 3 days apart. And sometimes it can happen 3 times in one hour! AND! It doesn't necessarily take someone else to send me a text to have her convo appear again, Sometimes- without even getting any new messages- I look and where there was once a blank text messaging screen- now all of a sudden her texts appear.
Sometimes it's just the last text she sent to me or I sent to her and sometimes it's our entire convo at that moment. And when she does send me a new text and we write back and forth, I delete them of course, and then when they start to appear- it will be the most recent convo we had- so it's always the most recent messages.
I have called AT&T asking them to resend a signal to my phone to try and clear whatever "cashe" they tell me their system doesn't work that way and they can't figure out why I'm having this problem. I stumped them so much with this issue that they had all their higher ups in the tech deptartment trying to figure it out and they couldn't. The only option they said was to go to an Apple store and get a new phone. Problem is- this issue was happening on my 3Gs as well as my new 4s so I don't think it's the phone itself.
Here's what I've tried to fix the situation:
1. I deleted my cousin as a contact in my phone. Then I reprogrammed her in as a new contact. That didn't do anything.
2. I called her and asked her to delete me as a contact in her phone as well as delete any messages she has from me. By the way- she is using a Sprint Blackberry. That didn't work.
3. AT&T suggested I restore my phone but that hasn't worked.
Any of you smart Apple geniuses know why this keeps happening? It's more annoying than anything- only because I like to delete texts when I'm done with them- that's just the kind of person I am. Now I constantly get her old messages popping up and no matter how many times I delete- they always come back.
If anyone else has had this issue- please let me know. Thanks so much!!!

I agree with you- I do think it's an iCloud issue only because I updated my 3Gs with the new iCloud service and new software update and that's when I started having this issue. I never had an issue before that. And it sounds like an iCloud issue because it reappears even after it was deleted.
AT&T told me they do NOT see these reappear messages on my phone bill- so I know they are not coming through as new texts and I am not being charged for them. In fact, it only seems to be something that happens on my phone- since the service provider cannot even see the action happening on their end.
Of course- I have the same issue when I switched to my 4s, hence why I don't think it has to do with the hardware of the phone or AT&T's service.
BUT! My cousin has a Sprint Blackberry- so these are not iPhone to iPhone blue iMessages. They are the basic, plan old text messages- green. So weird right??? I have a MacBook Pro at home- but I didn't know that iCloud was even able to sync text messages? If so- how do I turn that feature off? Should I just disable my iCloud service? How do I do that?

Ohhh here is a tricky one...overlapping colours
