Please, help with copying  the same gradient appearance to another object

For example an ellipse with a simple black to white gradient and then applying the same gradient to an object with a different shape in front of the ellipse in such way that the front object is indistinguishable.
edit: I know how to do that with masking but I'm looking for a better (less complicated) way. It would be perfect if there was a way to find out and apply the position and length of the gradient that appears when the gradient tool is selected.

Actually none of the above message really is the answer but are part of the answer.
Draw a large rectangle closed path and fill it with the gradient then you draw the two shapes and
you group them you can use the effect pathfinder add or use the pathfinder panel and option/alt unite command to make a compound shape
then you use he compund shape as a clipping mask.
theis will allow you to move one of the shapes without disturbing the gradients relative position, similar to displacing and image in a large format view camera.

  • HT4436 I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same.

    I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.

    You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher.  You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes.  Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline.  Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library.  Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
    When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings.  Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer.  At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier.  Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
    This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync".

  • Please help with: WARNING: The user_dump_dest init.ora parameter has been d

    Hi gurus,
    I have been getting this warning for a while but I can't find a way to get rid of it.
    Fri Apr 08 10:29:04 2011
    WARNING: The user_dump_dest init.ora parameter has been deprecated.
    WARNING: Please remove the user_dump_dest parameter from the init.ora file.
    WARNING: The diagnostic_dest init.ora parameter now determines the location of the diagnostic data
    WARNING: The new location for the user logs and traces is c:\oracle\diag\rdbms\orcl\orcl\trace
    I looked at the init.ora and init_SID.ora file and the pfile but I do not see this parameter. The only places I see this parameter user_dump_dest is through the show parameter user_dump_dest is SQL*Plus and the EM Initialization Parameters, and they both show c:\oracle\diag\rdbms\orcl\orcl\trace.
    Please help me fix this warning.
    Thank you!
    Ben

    Starting in Oracle11g we not longer have many of the original OFA file system structures and we see that the ancient dump destination init.ora parms (core_dump_dest, background_dump_dest, user_dump_dest) are placed by a single diagnostic_dest parameter, the place to go when Oracle wants to take a dump.
    You can use the new initialization parameter diagnostic_dest to specify an alternative location for the diag directory contents.
    As of Oracle Database 11g Release 1, the diagnostics for each database instance are located in a dedicated directory, which can be specified through the DIAGNOSTIC_DEST initialization parameter. The structure of the directory specified by DIAGNOSTIC_DEST is as follows:
    <diagnostic_dest>/diag/rdbms/<dbname>/<instname>
    This location is known as the Automatic Diagnostic Repository (ADR) Home. For example, if the database name is proddb and the instance name is proddb1, the ADR home directory would be <diagnostic_dest>/diag/rdbms/proddb/proddb1.
    The following files are located under the ADR home directory:
    Trace files - located in subdirectory <adr-home>/trace
    Alert logs - located in subdirectory <adr-home>/alert. In addition, the alert.log file is now in XML format, which conforms to the Oracle ARB logging standard.
    Core files - located in the subdirectory <adr-home>/cdumd
    Incident files - the occurrence of each serious error (for example, ORA-600, ORA-1578, ORA-7445) causes an incident to be created. Each incident is assigned an ID and dumping for each incident (error stack, call stack, block dumps, and so on) is stored in its own file, separated from process trace files. Incident dump files are located in <adr-home>/incident/<incdir#>. You can find the incident dump file location inside the process trace file.

  • Please help with choosing the right text component

    Hello,
    In my applet, I need a single-line text component with the following capabilities:
    1: Support for bold font (entire text,not just part of it)
    2: Support for underlined text (entire text,not just part of it)
    3: Support for blinking text
    4: Ability to put caret anywhere within the text field with mouse
    5: Support for field validation
    6: Ability to handle various key events and modify the text and/or move around caret position accordingly.
    Now, I know there are at least 4 different text components: JTextField, JTextArea, JEditorPane, JTextPane. Which one of these is most suitable for the above features? Is it possible to use JTextField to support all of the above?

    Here is a link to the Java Swing tutorial which discusses the text components.
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/text.html
    I think you need to use a JEditorPane or a JTextPane (although I'm not sure any of the components support blinking text). A demo program shows some of the capabilities of these components:

  • Please help with executing the c-shell script by using the exe class

    I try to use the exec class to execute a c-shell script in my java gui program like this. But I don't get anything when clicking on the start button.
    here is my code:
    Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
    r.exec("./DDMReportEvents");
    ./DDMReportEvents is the name of the c-shell script.

    I think Runtime.exec runs DOS batch files, but not Unix shell scripts.
    Try:
    r.exec("csh -c ./DDMReportEvents");
    to get the shell to run the shell script.

  • Please help with script for right-mouse click on 3D objects

    Hi!

    I need to make script that when user right-click to first cube, a PDF file (c:\a.pdf) opening (or c:\b.pdf for second one) in new windows. How to make it? Thank you so much!

    Hi,
    please check SDK sample 22 Right-Click, there is everything you need.
    First catch RightClickEvent, then create the menu entry when beforeAction = true, and when beforeAction = false you have to remove it again (otherwise you will receive an error when rightclicking again).

  • When I download the digital copy of the Hunger Games, it stops at 4.0GB and first returns an error code -1309 and then the code -50. Please help me complete the download.

    When I download the digital copy of the Hunger Games, it stops at 4.0GB and first returns an error code -1309 and then the code -50. Please help me complete the download. I have tried removing the .tmp folder and downloading it again, but each time it stops the download in the same place.

    I discovered the solution. The external drive I was saving it to was formatted as FAT32. In that format, the largest files can only be 4GB, which explains why it kept stopping at 4GB. I backed up all the files then reformatted it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), this is possible since I am on an iMac.

  • HT1386 my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.
