Pathfinder not expanding in CS5

Hi,
Does anyone know why the expand function isn't working, i've heard that adobe has done away with it, but i really need to expand some text so i can have a gradient run through it all, and not just each character. I've just upgraded from CS3 and now i'm wondering why!!!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

First, no need to expand text to fill with single gradient. Just add a "fill" attribute at the "Type" level, in the Appearance panel (select "fill" from the Appearance flyout menu).
Second, Pathfinder works differently in CS4-5 than it did in CS3. Now clicking a Pathfinder button creates an expanded version of the effect. Holding "Option" makes the Pathfinder effect "live". You can still click the "Expand" button to expand the effect after it has been assigned (unless you've tried this and it did not work for you).
Hope this helps.

JSFL - Commands working in CS3, not in CS4 / CS5 (library.selectItem / library.expandFolder)

Hi there,
I have a script that works perfectly fine in CS3, but does not work in CS4 and CS5.
This script is called "selectInLibrary".
You guessed it, what it does is select/highlight in library the symbols selected on the stage.
My issues are with the "library.selectItem" and "library.expandFolder" methods. They are simply not working in CS4 / CS5.
If anyone can help me with this, it would be awesome.
Code goes as follow:
function selectInLibrary(){}
var _proto_ = selectInLibrary.prototype;
_proto_.aAlreadyDone = new Array();
_proto_.DOM = fl.getDocumentDOM();
_proto_.oXMLUI;
_proto_.Init = function(){
          fl.trace("==== selectInLibrary v2.0 (for CS4) ====")
     var _aSelection;
     if (this.DOM == undefined){
          alert ("You need to open a Flash File First!");
     }else{
          this.CheckSelection();
_proto_.CheckSelection = function(){
     //     Make sure at least 1 stage element is selected
     if(this.DOM.selection.length <= 0){
          alert ("You need to Select a elements on the Stage");
     }else{
          //     Clear library selection
          this.DOM.library.selectNone();
          //     Loops through selected stage items...
          for(var i = 0; i < this.DOM.selection.length; i++){
               //     ...if selected elementType is "instance"...
               if(this.DOM.selection[i].elementType == "instance"){
                    fl.trace("Element " + this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem.name + " already processed? " + this.ElementExist(this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem.name));
                    //     ...if selected element has not been processed...
                    if(this.ElementExist(this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem.name) == false){
                         fl.trace("Processing: " + this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem.name);
                         //     ...adds selected element to array aAlreadyDone.
                         this.aAlreadyDone.push(this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem);
                         //     ...select the item in the library.
                         this.DOM.library.selectItem(this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem.name, false, true);
                         //     ...deploy item's folder.
                         this.deployFolder(this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem.name);
                         fl.trace("----");
                    } else {
                    fl.trace("Skipping " + this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem.name + ": Already processed");
                    fl.trace("----");
*     This Remove the name of a movie clip from the path

var oSelectInLibrary = new selectInLibrary();

var succes = fl.getDocumentDOM().library.expandFolder(true,false);

But folder does not expand
flash 11 on a selected folder
tried with third arg as path without success
Seems like another fl.blackmagic trick
I you found something ?

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand. I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file. I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild. Any Help?! Any Suggestions on how to fix this?! I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database -- if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

Why : Data Control entry not expandable/empty - ADF Task flow based on HT.

Hi All,
I've hoping to create an ADF Task flow based on a human task. I have a stand alone ADF application within the ViewController of which I am attempting to create this task flow. The resultant data control entry doesn't seem to be expandable.
Questions
1. When creating an ADF Taskflow based on a human task, should it always be within a project in the same application as the SOA components?
2. If no, is the resultant human task data control empty or not expandable because the xsd for the HT is based on the MDS? I have configured all the MDS connections within my application.
JDev : 11.1.1.4
Thanks
PP

Hi,
Answers :-
1. No, it is not necessary that your ADF Taskflow based on Human Task should be in the same application where the SOA Project Resides. But for the deployment of that ADF Taskflow you will need the SOA Project.You can add that project whenever you want to deploy.
2. It might be the cause due to the MDS Configuration .
Do one thing , while creating the ADF Taskflow based on Human Task , you do select the .task file via the file system not from the MDS.
If you will select the .Task file of your soa project then it will ask you to name the Taskflow, just name the taskflow as you want and say ok.
After creating the taskflow, it will add a lot of xml files in your project and it will create a data control of it.
Hope it helps!!

In my Fire fox version 18.0.1 one drop down box is not expanding on click

In my registration page (http://www.complianceonline.com/ecommerce/control/registration) the drop down box for Primary Area Of Interest is not expanding. This problem is happening in some of my friend's machines. They all have windows XP with Fire fox version 18.0.1 installed in their system.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Variable not expanding in command, unsure why

Hello, I have a relatively straightforward problem in a script I am making, it has to do with a variable not expanding properly but I am unsure why and not sure what else I can do to further debug the issue, any advise would be appreciated.
Basically I have a variable containing a pc name:
$pcName="myPC"
and I want to use that in a script to get the pc:
Get-ADComputer -Filter {Name -like "$pcName"} -Properties LastLogonDate
However, that command returns nothing but if I manually put in the name:
Get-ADComputer -Filter {Name -like "myPc"} -Properties LastLogonDate
it does work properly.
What am I doing wrong?
I have tried:
Get-ADComputer -Filter {Name -like "$($pcName)"} -Properties LastLogonDate
which also does not work, to me it looks like it is a problem with the shell not expanding the variable inside that filter block, but I'm not sure why this would happen.
Edit:
I have found out that doing:
Get-ADComputer -Filter {Name -like $pcName} -Properties LastLogonDate
does work, but really it does not help me completely, as I would actually like to search for "$pcname*" which continues to fail, I realize that i can just append the * to the variable before this line, but I still would like to figure out whats
going on here with why it will not expand the string as i expected it to in the filter block.

This does work, it makes sense to me because it's using the string version of the -Filter parameter and backticking the quotes on the inner part for the name. Would be nice if this did work within the filterblock still but at least that gets me going
for now.

TOC in French version of webhelp does not expand correctly

I have a RoboHelp project (RH 8.0.2.208) created by importing an HTML Help project that I use to generate WebHelp. The HTML files, the .hhc, .hhk, .hhp files have been translated to French (from English). I have changed the language in the project settings to French (France) and I generate the WebHelp output. All appears to process correctly except the TOC does not expand and collapse correctly. Some first level entries expand with one click (as expceted), some entries only expand after other entries have been expanded, and some entries will not expand at all, and once expanded, some entries will not collapse.
I have used the same process to generate other language versions and have not had the same issue. I have been searching the forum to see if similiar issues have been reported but cannot find anthing similar.

I had something a bit similar with RH 7, except it wasn't limited to one language but Firefox browsers. That problem was solved by installing the latest RH patches. You have a later version of RH and the problem is only in French, so the problem is most likely in the French help project.
What I'd do to troubleshoot it: Make spare copies of the help projects, just in case you make it worse and not better.
use a comparison tool like Beyond Compare, to compare the .hhp, .hhc and .js files between the French and English projects: any unexpected differences that are not language related? If there are unexpected differences in tags or other functional items, copy those items from the good project. Rebuild the project by opening the .hhp file.
or
Assuming your projects use the same file names for everything, copy the French .htm, .hhc and .hhk files into a spare copy of the English project. Open the project normally and change the language setting and help title (the .hhp should not have any other translated texts than the help title).
It can happen that a translation agency does something to the translated files, that does not work in your system. It can be very obvious in a side-by-side comparison, in a comparison tool or just Notepad, or it might be a bit more hidden like wrong character encoding.

Data Schema tree not expanding in XML news Form Builder

Hi,
I am trying to create XML News, But the DataSchema tree is not expanding I double clicked on the '+' symbol but it is not expanding.
Can any body suggest me why it is not expanding and how to expand the tree of the Data Schema.
Regards,
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
there may be 2 possibilities why the node does not expand:
1.) Your browser and/or local JDK-Version is not supported for XML Forms Design Tool
2.) There is nothing to expand. Try to create some nodes below your root node.

Xml form builder- DataSchema not expanding

Hi Experts,
I am facing a strange issue in XML form builder.
When i am trying to expand DataSchema root node by clicking on the + sysmbol. It is not expanding.
Is there any particular setting or what for this. I have tried this many time but unable to expand data Scheme and not able to create any nodes under DataSchema.
Please help me in resolving this issue.

Hello,
Immediately after opening the XML forms editor from the Content Manager page, you will get a link Start Environment Check Tool.... Click on that and proceed for a check. It will take some 5-10 mins based on your connection speed.If every thing is successful, clear the browser cache and restart the browser and open forms editor again. It will open the data schema and properties filed and project browser and all.
I was having this problem just now and i resolved it with the above steps.
My JRE version is 1.6 and portal is EP 7 SPS 21 patched.

Yes, hopefully all you need to do is go to Help>Updates in photoshop cs5 and get camera raw 6.7

Camera raw 7.2 will not install within CS5.5, but need it to read nrw files from P7700.

camera raw 7.2 will not install within CS5.5, but need it to read nrw files from P7700. Besides DNG Converter, what can I do to use files directly?

Your next option is to upgrade photoshop. If you can't afford the full version (less than $20/month) you could get elements, it uses the latest version of camera raw, but I think it is a stripped down version though.
