Problem trying to create graphic style...

I'm trying to create a nave menu and in doing so, create a single graphic style that can achieve my end goal. I can get what I want by using a seperate shape, but that defeats the purpose of the single graphic style. I thought I could achieve the look using an effect under
Effect>Pathfinder
But that doesn't get the result I expected. Below you can see both what the graphic style currently looks like, and what I want to add to it (the gloss) hopefully within the same graphic style. Is this possible?

Try this:

Problem changing and creating paragraph styles in Pages

When using paragraph styles I come up against several problems that I haven't been able to figure out with the help menu:
1. When I change a para with the style list it doesn't change the para to the chosen parameters. It changes for instance the font but not the size. How do I make sure that the chosen text gets changed completely?
2. When I want to create a new style from selection it does not create a style that turns up in future lists. I only get to choose what is already somewhere in the text I am writing and what seems to be a default list that shows up with every new document. To change to something else I have to find a text that has the format I want, copy a piece of it, put it into the text I am working on and then try and change the paragraph style. How can I make sure that I have the styles I want at my disposal whatever I am working on? Can I somehow edit the choices in the style drawer?
3. When looking at the help menu, this is the beginning of an instruction:
+To apply a style to one or more paragraphs, select the paragraphs you want to change, or select an entire text box, table, table cell, or shape that contains text. Click the Paragraph Styles button in the format bar, and then choose the style you want to apply+
Now, where do I find the paragraph styles button and where is the format bar? I clicked my way through numerous drop down menus but haven't found what this is referring to.
Would be grateful for any hints, and please keep your explanations simple enough. I need instructions for dummies Thanks in advance!

Double click on the style name in the styles drawer to completely force the style onto the selected text. This will however eliminate any bolding, italics, underlining etc.

To add a style to the Styles Drawer, format your text, then click on the little red triangle next to the style in the drawer and choose New from selection giving it a name.
You can also change the name of the style by right clicking on the name and selecting Rename. This is not always available as some names are reserved.
Each document has its own definitions of the styles. You can import Styles from other documents:
+Menu > Format > Import Styles… > Browse to a document with the styles and select those you want to copy over+
3. When looking at the help menu, this is the beginning of an instruction:

Now, where do I find the paragraph styles button
It is the reversed blue P on the Toolbar, also +Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer+
and where is the format bar?
I assume you are referring to the toolbar at the top of the window.
I clicked my way through numerous drop down menus but haven't found what this is referring to.

Problem trying to create FIELD SYMBOLS in BADI.

Hi guys!
I'm trying to create a Field Symbol in method CHECK of BADI me_process_req_cust (well, I'm working on a Z implementation).
The problem is that I'm trying to create a FIELD SYMBOL and when I check the syntaxsis, I receive the next error:
Clase ZCL_IM_MM_PURREQ_UPDATE,Método IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST~CHECK
Names may only consist of the characters "A-Z", "0-9" and "_". In
addition, they may not begin with a number.
This is the code:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <sy-mereq> TYPE mereq3328-afnam.
Any idea????
Thanks in advance!
Bet

Hi Silveria,
The problem lies in
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <sy-mereq> TYPE mereq3328-afnam.
instead of that it should be something like this
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <sy_mereq> TYPE mereq3328-afnam.
With your code you will be getting a syntax error saying sy-mereq is not defined,as it will be looking for the mereq in the system fields.

Problems trying to create scrollable text in InDesign CC

I'm making an interactive presentation in InDesign. Im trying to create some scrollable text. i didn't know how to do that in CC, so I looked up some videos over the web and learned I needed to use the "Folio Builder" or the "Overlay panel". i never was able to find the latter and the Folio Builder gives me this message: "A software update is required to use Digital Publishing Suite. Please go to the Help menu and select Updates to get the required software." My software is already up-to-date (at least that's what the Adobe Application Manager tells me). Is this happening because I'm using a trial version? I'm planning to buy the Creative Cloud package but first I need to know it's worthy. Thanks for your help!

You are most likely looking at some very old videos. As it happens my DPS
course was just released on lynda.com:

Re: Problems trying to create jrepository file

Leonardo,
Why do you need to create a new repository file ?
Can't you just make a copy of the example one that comes with Jolt (/tuxedo/udataobj/jolt/jrepository)

Swc / accordion problem, trying to create a 3-level dynamic nav

Hi!
First time poster, long-time troller. I've been working on a
CMS system and having a little trouble creating a three level
navigation, that's uses the functionality of the accordion
component, but styled with dynamically loaded fonts.
I'm using the "flexlibs" swc (and was playing with degrafa,
but think it's a little much for what I'm trying to do). What I'm
doing is:
- pulling the three level navigation (1st level - brand, 2nd
- campaign, 3rd - job),
- a VBOX holds the entire nav, the first level is an
accordion with:
-- a header (that somehow draws the data (this is my first
question) to put in a swc I created, in a Header.mxml component.);
and a
-- repeater that does the same thing for "campaign" (2nd
level): vbox, vaccordion (header + repeater), that holds:
-- a swc component, called "JobComp" (I've been playing
swapping it with a flash-made swc but can't seem to figure out how
to pass initialization variables in the constructor)
I used "swc"'s for the nav components, because the fonts are
"AGBuchBQ-Bold" and I thought it'd be easier this way.
I guess my question(s) are:
1. How do I pass a variable in the constructor of a swc
Component?
2. Am I doing this right? Or should I construct the
navigation ALL in flash, export as a swc, and just pass in the xml
to the flash component (which means I need to understand #1...)
3. Is there a way to load / set font in the accordion / list
components that are not the basic fonts? If I can style it all in
the .css, that'd be really really helpful, I think, since it's 90%
there.
Thanks again, for any input,
Dom

My bad i didn't see that you want to create a swc.
Well, as i said earlier, for me, the only way to pass
parameter to a constructor (i suppose you mean like new Label("my
title")) is using actionscript.
What you can do if you want to create an MXML file is
creating public parameters (or getters) in the script tag and use
the [bindable]. As far as i understood Flex, properties in an MXML
will have no action on your component if you don't use this tag.
You can as well create a method that will apply these
parameter after its creation, example :
You create a MyComponent class which has different properties
like displaySubComponent and maximumValue. In your class, you
create a method called "applyParameters" which will do something to
initialize it.
Then you call use it like this:
<c:MyComponent id="a_component" displaySubComponent=[ A,
B, D] maximumValue=5
onCreationComplete={a_component.applyParameters()} />
And yes, i thought
"dataProvider="{repeatCampaign.currentItem..job }" was strange but
it's good to know that we can do that ;)
Hope, i was understandable ^^"

Problem trying to create a list of JTrees

Hi,
my problem is that I am attempting to create a Jlist of JTrees. I am not sure if Swing supports this or not - I am at the stage where the JList of JTrees is rendering fine. The problem is that I cannot select the other trees in the list.
I tried to add a mouse listener to my JList to work around this but this does not seem to work:
addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
int index = locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
if (index != -1) {
JTree tree = (JTree) getModel().getElementAt(index);
TreePath selPath = tree.getPathForLocation(e.getX(), e.getY());
tree.setSelectionPath(selPath);
repaint();
The tree is detected by the mouse listener no problem, but I can't seem to set the selected node (variable selPath in code above returns null)
Any ideas on this greatly appreciated - even to say if this is possible or not!
Regards, Joe.

You have to copy the weblogic.jar to jdev_home\jdev\lib\ext and restart jdev. You also have to point the connection to the weblogic.jar in the \bea\wlserver6.1\lib directory. That worked for me. Good luck.

Problem trying to create and manage external tables

Hello guys,
I am having problems having created my external tables trying to select from them. I created the table thus:
create table job_ext
(job_id number(3),
FUNCTION varchar2(30) )
organization external (type oracle_datapump default directory test_dir
access parameters (records delimited by newline fields delimited by "~" (job_id number(3) ,
FUNCTION varchar2(30) ) )
location ('testdump.lst')
but on running select * from job_ext, I get the error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-00554: error encountered while parsing access parameters
KUP-01005: syntax error: found "identifier": expecting one of: "logfile, nologfile, version" etc..
KUP-01008: the bad identifier was: records
KUP-01007: at line 1 column 1
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_DATAPUMP", line 19
ORA-06512: at line 1
what am I not doing right.
Secondly, I wish to ask if an directory object is created, will it be visible on the OS file system?? I am using Oracle 10g complete reference for study but it does not throw light on this.
thanks

Hi,
It looks like you may need to grant permissions to the target directory.
The ORA-29913 error can also happen in external tables when you don't grant read and write permissions to the directory:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY extdir AS '/u01/app/oracle./extdir';
GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY extdir TO myowner;
GRANT WRITE ON DIRECTORY extdir TO myowner;
Also, see BUG 5172459 (MetaLink Note:373168.1)
The problem is that the message file for external tables oin not the English version. These steps will address the issue:
1. cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg
2. cp KUP<lang>.msb KUP<lang>.msb.BAK
3. cp kupus.msb KUP<lang>.msb

Trying to create a excel style worksheet and i can't get the format even close. trying to create a style of sheet that allows horizontal text on the left (in landscape view) and text rotated sideways in the rows.

i am trying to re-create an excel worksheet in numbers that my command created. it is more of a tracking sheet with names on the left, and across the top having different things (to track as items completed) with the text vertical and reading sideways. i don't know how to do this formatting and i cannot access my work email from home. this is mildly frustrating. any help?

Short answer: Feature not supported.
Detail:
Text cannot be rotated in table cells in Numbers.
You can place text into a Text box or series of Text boxes, then rotate the box(es).
Requests for Numbers feature enhancements may be placed via the Provide Numbers Feedback item in the Numbers menu in Numbers. Don't expect to see results before at least the next full version of Numbers.

Barry

Problem trying to create a connection to Weblogic

Hello,
I desperately try to create a connection to a weblogic 6.1sp2 server in JDeveloper.
The Weblogic server is located on my computer. I just try to connect to the defaultserver running on my PC.
Each time I get a message when I try to test the connection :
"Cannot instanciate Webloci.jndi.WLinitialcontextfactory"
Any help or suggestionn is welcome...
Thank!

You have to copy the weblogic.jar to jdev_home\jdev\lib\ext and restart jdev. You also have to point the connection to the weblogic.jar in the \bea\wlserver6.1\lib directory. That worked for me. Good luck.

Problem updating graphic styles specs, after scaling illustrator image

Hello there,
I'm designing a map in Illy and have created graphic styles for the various route keys I use.
After recording the styles, I've enlarged the map, so the specs for all the styles has changed to a greater value (stroke width etc.)
I've tried to update the graphic styles by selecting the enlarged stroke and saving it as a new style.
But when I try to apply it, the style button still applies the original stroke width, from before I enlarged the image.
The graphic styles window won't forget the old styles!
How do I get round this? Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Gill

If you scale strokes which are based on graphic styles, the original parameters of the styles are not changed. What actually happens is a kind of internal transformation which is indicated at the bottom of the Appearance Palette as a scaling percentage.
To do what you want, just select one of the scaled strokes, release it from the style definition and then redefine the style based on that stroke.

Problem with Batch Processing an Action using a Graphic Style Library

Hi,
I have ~100 files in which I need to change the fill and stroke of all the linework. I created Graphic Styles for all my new features. I then created an Action that sets a fill and stroke color, Select Same Fill and Stroke, then applies the new Graphic Style. This repeats for about 20 variations (ie; select all Fill=X, Stroke=Y, then apply Graphic Style A. Select all Fill=X2, Stroke=Y2 then apply Graphic Style B). It runs fine in my test file. The problem occurs when I try to run it in batch mode. I have my new Graphic Style Library set to Persistent, so that it is open for every file. But the action does not apply the new Graphic Styles. It's like it doesn't see/read the Graphic Style Library. I don't get any errors, the action completes. It just doesn't apply anything.
Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Are you not able to use an action to apply a graphic style from an added Library? Do I need to add the graphic styles to the Graphic Styles Panel and have the action reference the Panel, not the Library?
Any help or insight is appreciated.
M

Try this:
Copy an item that has the Graphic Style to the clipboard before starting the action. Then put a paste step followed by a delete step at the start of the action.
Hope that helps.
Mike D.
