Placing text on a circlular path - help please!

I am trying to create a circle path and then place some text on it.
Easy to do in PhotoShop - Eliptical path tool, with the shift down, gives
you a nice circular path, then click on the top center with the type tool and
type away.
But, if you try executing the code generated by the Script Listener you get
a path that is incomplete, and the text is invisible.  It is there (I think) because
the layer name is changed to the text string that was typed, but you can't see it.
Changing its color, size, font, etc. will still not show it.
I am hoping someone has a sample script that is a little shorter and more
understandable than what Script Listner creates - 1300+ lines long - that I can
modify with my text, text color, font, and pathitem points to achieve this.
I have also tried duplicating and modifying a text layer with the circle/text already in it.
For some reason, I can't get to the SubPathInfo; where   EntireSubPath
(the array that needs to be modified) supposedly is.  This approach would
be fine too...
I am using CS3 / Visual Basic
thank you very much!  I have already missed my deadline on this and really
appreciate any ideas or tips anyone can give me!

  • Iphone text message errors - can you help please?

    imessages that are sent are coming through from my email address and I cannot receive text messages sent directly to my number.  We are on a family plan.  When a text is being sent to one person, the other person is also getting the text.  Texting only seems to works if sent from an e-mail address and doesn't not send or receive to the phone #.
    Within the iMessage where is states:
    Apple ID : shows correct id
    You can be reached for messages at:
    Error  - with phone # grayed out
    Email - email address listed ok

  • Unable to send text messages this morning!  Help please...

    My Note 2 is a few months old and has worked flawlessly until this morning. All of a sudden my text messages cannot be sent. Can anyone help or know where I can look for help?   Thanks!

    Yeah, though it appears they're currently refusing to admit it.

  • Multiple drop down menu items to populate the a separate text box...more help please

    Thanks to Gilad D67 for showing me how to have multiple drop down menu items appear in a separate text box. This stuff blows my mind. Is there any script I can use to make a new drop down menu item appear in the same text box, but on a new line below a previous entry. For example. I select 'cat' from my drop down menu and it appears in my text box. Now I choose 'dog' from my menu and it appears in my text box like so  'cat dog.' Is there any way I can make 'dog' go straight to a new line automatically without having to manually go into the text box and change it?
    cat
    dog (new selection goes straight to a new line)
    Now, I don't have a clue if this is also possible, but imagine, I don't like my drop down menu selection of 'dog' and I go back into the menu and I change to 'rat' but in the text box, 'dog' still appears and 'rat' is added. Do I have to manually delete 'dog' from the text box or is there script that can do this for me.
    Any assistance would be incredible. It amazes me how people know this stuff.
    This is the script I have so far
    (function () {
        // Do nothing if not committed
        if (event.willCommit) return;
        // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
        var aQuotes = [3];
        // Populate the array with the paragraph text
        aQuotes[0] = "Use common singular nouns, plural nouns [plural ‘s’] and proper names to say what things are"
        aQuotes[1] = "Use numbers 1–10 to count"
        aQuotes[2] = "Use basic adjectives and colours to say what someone/something is or has"
        // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
        var item = event.changeEx
        // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
        getField("Text30").value += " " + aQuotes[item];

    You have to set the option for the text field to be multiline and then change the last line of the script to:
    getField("Text30").value += "\r" + aQuotes[item];
    To reset the field you can use a separate button with a Clear Form command, and then you just select this one field from the list.

    Hello Creative Cloud Illustrator Community:
    Help Please!
    This is with regard to creating a compound path:
    I have set some white type on a circle and then created outlines. I then placed the outlined type on a black stroked ring which I then selected "outlined stroke." I then put both "outlined" graphical elements on a separate solid bkg. (all 3 are on the same layer). Lastly, I then selected the top two elements and went to "make" a "compound path" (because I want the type to be the "holes" so I can see through to the background). However, the only effect I get is the white outlined type turning black (the same color as the black ring). What am i doing wrong? I can achieve the desired result with simple boxes but it won't work with a circular type path, a stroked ring and a solid bkg.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank You!

    Thanks for the response Jacob.
    Unfortunately, I tried your suggestion with no success. BTW, minus front is now Subtract. Apparently, by clicking option>subtract, it works in the same way as minus front. I tried this to no avail.
    Let me reiterate please.
    I have 3 graphic elements-all on the same layer:
    1. Background: Gold circle with a fill and no stroke.
    2. Middle: Black ring (Stroked) inside gold background circle.
    3. Top: White copy set on a circular type path and placed directly on top of middle black ring.
    Both the middle black ring and top type path HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO OUTLINES.
    LASTLY, I select the Middle and Top, go to Compound Paths and choose "Make" and my white copy turns to black. Wrong!
    WHAT I WANT TO HAPPEN: I want the white copy to become HOLES, so the GOLD background shows through.
    Any solutions would be very much appreciated!

  • At the end of my IMovie I want to write some text: as in" Happy Birthday Mandy we had a great time with you. etc..  How do I go about this? Which icon in IMovie lets me have a place to write text?? help please

    Please see my ? above: Im making an IMovie and need the last frame to just be text (can be on a color). I don't know how to go about doing this.  Ive already done all my photos and captions. Need to have it ready for TOMORROW: Friday May 23rd. Help please!

    You can choose a background for the text from Maps and Backgrounds.  Just drag a background to the end of the timeline, adjust to desired duration then drag title above it.

  • I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

    I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
    Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
    help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

    lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
    Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
    But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
    Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
    Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
    Thx,
    DJ

    Hi,
    CSS is interpreted by your browser, so server cache seems unlikely in htis case. There is however some hierarchy in CSS, so parts of the APEX CSS, theme CSS or page CSS might overwright or block yours.
    Does changing the CSS on runtime affect your page? Eg, run the following in your browser console and see if your page turns black: $('#uBodyContainer').css("background-color","black")
    Also try moving up your css in the hierarchy labeling it as important:
    div#uBodyContainer { 
      background-color:#000000 !important;

  • Help Please - having difficulties creating af link from the text to an attached file i acrobat

    I have been reading the help, but it just wonn't work when I try.
    I have tried as followed (I am working with a danish version, and hope to matched the same word as in the english version of Acrobat Xpro):
    1. From the toolbox i choose content and then 'hyperlink'
    2. I mark the text from which i wish to make a link
    3. Acrobat respond with an popup picture 'create a link'
    4. From the popup I mark 'Open a side' and push 'next'
    5. Acrobat respond with a new popup picture 'create / go to a side'
    6. I go to the navigator and open the list with attached file's that I have embedded in my acrobat file.
    7. I mark the to which i wish to make a link to
    8. In the popup 'create / go to a side' that stilll is open, i push 'Mark hyperlink'
    Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
    How do i do it right?
    Please help.

    Hello Bernd
    Thanks for a quick respond.
    This corresponds to the text I have tried myself, but apparently I do something wrong
    1.      Open a PDF that contains a PDF file attachment – done
    2.      Go to where you want to create a link. If that location is in the file attachment, click the Attachments button in the navigation pane, select the file attachment, and click open.
    Here I go to side number 10 from which I wish to make a link from (I am not open the attachment file at this moment, as the location not is inside the file attachment).
    (I earlier also tried to  mark the attachment file and click open, and It result that the attached file just opened normally without creating a link to the file).
    3.      Choose Tools > Content > link, and select the area for the link
    Here  I mark the text on side 10 from which I wish to make a link to a attached file
    4.      In the Create Link dialog box, set the link appearance, select Go To A Page View, and then click Next
    Here I have selected ‘Go to a page view’ as told and I click Next
    5.      Set the page number and view magnification you want, either in the parent PDF document or in the file attachment, and then click set link.
    Here I go to the navigation pane and mark the attached file from the file list (the files in the list hasn’t any side number in the list) and then I click Set Link.
    Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
    What do I do wrong.?

  • Frames w/Text-like u can do in Windows Movie maker- Help Please

    not referring to Titles. I want fames with text in them, sentences and short paragraphs. I was on this forum until 2:30 am trying to find similar and only 1, referring to typewriter that is in wmm they said on the old HDimovie download which isn't availabe and was 2006 anyway.
    Where is the feature? How do I do it like in Windows Movie Maker
    Also- how do I add portions of letters to videos, cut them out in paintshop save them a jpeg and upload as pic to insert into movie and make the viewing time longer so people can read it.
    I need frames with just type , not just titles.
    HELP, please.
    Thank you

    it takes 3 apps' to do it, and *****,, they don't all fit, u have to plan ahead, and u can't edit them in the timeline like u can with windows movie maker, and found out they had this imovie HD6, and took out although had to paste in text still meaning using another app for some of them.
    I can't believe apple took it out to force you to buy FCE.
    downdloaded HD6, but it not importing movies already imported to iphoto 09 that then imported to imovie 09, the cutting, editing clips is easier in '09, and I can;t find video turials on 06, except to pay for, only pdf hard for me to read take in alot of type, brain shuts off, neuro problems and brain damage.
    just abbout had it with mac and which had sent it back in time, they said give me $500 to keep it, then didn't give that much, i think big mistake for me.
    i sitll tryin to hold on abit here, i just posted in iphoto as well, fed up with it, it got it for imovie'09 doesnt even ahve the features i need, they took them out, everything drag drop import here there and everywhere.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.

  • Can't create see through text! Help please

    I am very new to illustrator so please forgive me I am using CS4 on windows. I have followed all of the sugestions on this site (this is the exact effect that I am seeking!) and for the life of me none of it works.http://www.proficiografik.com/2010/02/08/building-a-hole-see-through-t ext-or-object-in-adobe-illustrator.html
    So I am in search of help.I've worked in one layer, have tried a layer  for the color box and another for the text, I have tried grouping the text box with the color box as well. I figure there is a step in the inital layout that I am missing, but I'm not sure. Help please!

    Lorranne,
    When you have all three objects in the right order you should see:
    A) The live Type (or outlined type) in black (san diego),
    B) The intermediate shape, partly covered by the Type (the blue rectangle),
    C) The image (the steely look).
    Is that what you see? I see that.
    If you select A) and B), by clicking or selecting in the Layers palette, what do you see in the Transparency palette?
    If you then tick Make Opacity Mask, what do you see in the Transparnecy palette (both Clip and Invert Mask should be unticked), and what do you see on the Artboard?
    Edit: Edited after seeing the video.
    By the way, it makes no difference whether the image is embedded (as you mention) or linked.

    As the other person that replied, I have no issues with my 4S on iOS 7.0.2. What user troubleshooting have you tried? Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try double tapping on the home button, swipe upwards to force closed the camera app, then do a reset. That is holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will have not affect on your data. Try opening the camera app again and see if it works.
    One last question. You say that it shows a standard size picture of the picture where you started. Is this when you are looking at the picture you tried to take in the Camera Roll?
