Project Layering Help Needed

Hey everyone,
I'm in the process of updating my portfolio site using Flash Catlyst and am having some layering issues.
Under the 'Graphic' tab, I have the first two buttons set up how I want, but as you will see, the layering causes the buttons to appear in front of the image in the Toggle Button when selected. Not what I'm looking for. The first image is how I want it to appear when the image is enlarged, the secnd is the issue with the button showing in front of the image due to layering.
I've tried to combine the buttons as a custom/generic component, but the same problem still occurs.
Anyone have any suggestions or fixes for this?
Thanks!

Thanks for forwarding me the file. I found the issue. In the original design, you combined the thumbnail and the large version of the image into a single toggle button. This means that all of its elements existed in one layer. The result is the large image that you want to appear as an overlay can never be higher in the visual layering than the component. Hence the issue you were seeing.
You need to separate the thumbnail elements from the overlays in order for the layering to function properly. To work around the 20 page limit in Catalyst, I turned all the overlays into a custom component. The first page is blank, so it can be on the screen and have no affect on the thumbnail buttons.
I uploaded a demo of a solution for you.

  • Project organization help needed

    I work for a rather large health care company and we are just beginning our move from eGate to JCAPS. We have approximately 100 separate interfaces, each with an average of five eWays.
    Our initial idea was to organize our JCAPS projects as follows:
    Outer Project (equivalent to eGate schema)
    Inner Project (equivalent to eGate eWay)
    - collaboration
    - connectivity map
    - deployment profile
    - any external files, schedulers, etc needed by the collaboration
    Inner Project for OTD's
    Inner Project for Queues and Topics
    Inner Project for shared collaborations that are used by multiple projects (such as resending, journalling, etc)
    My concern is if we make a change to a single project, when we go to export that project to our production system, we may be forced to export a lot more than we need.
    I would like to know how others have organized their systems interfaces, and any issues they may have come up with.
    Thank You
    Steve

    I would be wary of creating projects within projects.
    The concept of project in JCAPS is nebulous.
    Even though JCAPS allows you to nest projects within projects the nested projects are treated more like folders.
    Like most other IDEs, projects are the ones created at root level.
    Unlike most other IDEs JCAPS does not have the concept of project view and file view.
    If you create an "Outer Project" and then inside it a bunch of "inner project" , JCAPS would treat the "Outer Project" as a project and all the inner projects as artifacts of this "Outer Project".
    If any other project were to refer to any one of these "inner projects", then JCAPS will assume that this other project is dependent on the "outer project".
    If you try to export this other project, it will export the whole "outer project" as a dependent project.
    So, if possible, I would try to create all projects at root level especially if they are going to be referenced by other projects.
    Use a flat structure rather than a hierarchical one. Use naming conventions to segregate and organize.
    Instead of
    ProjectA
    ProjectA1
    ProjectA2create
    ProjectA_ProjectA1
    ProjectA_ProjectA2
    If this looks too cluttered you might want to consider branching to separate major projects
    Also I would be careful of creating dependencies between projects.
    Lets say you have a JCD which refers to an OTD in another shared project.
    If somebody updates the OTD and creates a new version of the OTD, your JCD would automatically start referring to the new version.
    Without your knowing a build will pick up the new OTD.
    Of course if you know that a new version was created ,you can specify an older version of the OTD during a build.
    Not so if you are editing the JCD. Here you will be stuck with the latest version.
    This may or may not be what you want.
    A better alternative would be to copy over the OTD to your project and use the local version.
    Hope this helps.

  • Inconsistant overlay issues in same project - urgent help needed please!

    Hopefully this has not been asked. I searched and found nothing.
    The issue is that using overlays works great for two of the three menus in my project, but the third does not display properly when viewing a finished DVD or the TS folder. It looks perfect in simulator.
    Now for the details: the menus are pretty simple. They each consist of a Photoshop file with two layers. One is the background buttons (mostly plain text) and an overlay layer (underlines under the text). These are saved as psd files.
    When built and viewed, two of the menus operate normally - you roll over the text buttons, and an underline appears beneath them. The third menu does nothing when rolled over, yet if you click on a piece of text, it jumps to the proper section as expected.
    I have checked every setting I can think of to make sure everything is the same between the different menus. I even rebuilt the whole DVD from scratch, and made new menus in Photoshop. Each file was made as a "save as" to ensure that the settings were the same. Same for the menus in DVDSP - duplicates of a menu that work properly. Is there something I've overlooked? Is this an issue with DVDSP 3?
    Any help or suggestions are most appreciated. This forum is a great resource.

    Hi There
    The only thing that comes to mind is that something's changing in your button highlight states between your menus. Go to a menu that is working the way you want and select a button. In the button inspector go to the Colours tab and ine the bottom right corner click the Save As Default button. Then go to a menu that is not performing correctly, highlight a button, go to the Colours tab and click Restore Default.
    If that doesn't fix it at least you'll have ruled out a major culprit.
    Good Luck

  • Setting up a new Free Software Project, organizational help needed.

    Hi
    I need some help with a project I am working on.
    I have been working on this project for some time now. I have written a program using JDK 6 and Eclipse.
    The actual software is not the problem here. The actual problem, as I am starting to find out, is how to distribute this program.
    I think I have organized the actual files incorrectly. Since I have been working on this program for some time now, its gotten a lot bigger then
    I originally thought it would be. Also I have been using SVN and sourceforge, so I have been reluctent to make drastic changes to the layout of the
    source code.
    But I am starting to see that I need to adapt the source code to some standard if I am to either get other to help me or to release the program.
    And here is where your help comes in.
    I need to know how to organize my files.
    I have organized the *.java files in a somewhat orderly fashion, but from what I understand most source code is organized into "src", "lib", ect folders.
    This is what I need the help with.
    My program uses some external jar files that contain some methods, functions and class I use.
    I also have some images and icons used in the program.
    There are also files that are created, written to and read from the program, which I need to keep.
    What is the best way to organize these files and is there some sort of "standard of free software" out there?
    I would appreciate any help on the matter.

    Just a shot in the dark here...
    Are you JARring your project when you make it into a binary? You can JAR it the same way with your source, as well. As for the folders that you are talking about, I'm not an Eclipse user, but doesn't the IDE organize your files into packages and such while you are working on a project?
    My perspective comes from NetBeans. When I create a project, the IDE automatically creates an Ant file and also organizes the project into packages. For example, if I start a project called StripNewLines, my Main class will be located in a package called stripnewlines, which I can refactor later to something like net.mycompany.stripnewlines, for example. Then, when I need to include resources such as files or icons, I go into my file manager and simply create new folders under my project's source tree. For example, my project file tree may look something like:
    + StripNewLines/
    + dist/
    + lib/
    + StripNewLines.jar
    + README.TXT
    + src/
    +net/
    + mycompany/
    + stripnewlines
    + Main.java
    Once I get done adding my files and icons, it might look like this:
    + StripNewLines/
    + dist/
    + lib/
    + StripNewLines.jar
    + README.TXT
    + src/
    +net/
    + mycompany/
    + stripnewlines/
    + Main.java
    + files/
    + LICENSE
    + README
    + art/
    + file-open.png
    + exit.png
    + new.png
    Once I've added those files and icons to my file heirarchy in my file manager, NetBeans will automatically update the project and add the packages net.mycompany.files and net.mycompany.art. Then I just have to access them by their paths to use them in my application.
    Once you've gotten your application completed and compile it to a jar file, you can drop to a shell and use the `jar` command to "pack up" your source tree. By doing it this way, you have a single file for download as a binary and another single file for download as a source archive. Obviously, if you are using libraries, you will need to zip up or tarchive your lib/ folder and JAR file for the distributions, so that your external libraries will also be available to your application on another machine.
    Anyhow, just some thoughts. I do hope this helps you a little and doesn't confuse you more.

  • Dragging Channels To Layers Help Needed

    Hi Folks,
    I've been working with the tutorial link below to get rid of some stains, While I have no problem working directly on the channels, I'm lost as to what it means to drag the channels onto layers. I can't seem to find a reference as to how to do this. Most likely I don't have to correct term when I'm searching.
    Any help or point to a reference would be a big help.
    "I normally drag the channels out onto layers to make the repairs. This gives much more control, especially if graduated masks are required. On this occasion and for the sake of simplicity I've made the repairs directly on the channels."
    Tutorial Link
    http://retouchpro.com/tutorials/?m=show&id=304
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    I think what he useallydoes is to drag the channel to the new channel icon in the bottom of the Channels palette.  This creates a duplicate of the channel draged was a new alpha channel with the name Channel xxx copy. Then they would select that channel and work on it. When done they may replace the original channel with the worked on contents of the copy or blend it in some way.

  • To Physically Delete WBS in a Project- Urgent Help Needed

    Hi,
    In a process of physically Deleting WBS which contains other objects (network, activites) from a project , It requires us to cancel the Deletion Flag on the wbs .For this I am trying to use a Bapi BAPI_BUS2054_SET_STATUS,
    but to unset DLFL for a project this Bapi takes a very long time for a project which has more wbs marked for deletion,
    Can Someone suggest me other way to delete wbs permanently, the business logic we follow here is to delete only those wbs which are marked for deletion after certain period of time.
    This is kind of urgent to me.. so any help is truly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Kumar

    If your wbs is not used, you can delete with the transaction CJ20N.

  • Oracle Final Year Project Choice Help Needed

    hi everyone,
    I m Amir from Pakistan, I m a student of CS final year at a IT University powered by Govt.of pakistan.
    Can any one help us regarding choice of Final Year project/proposal. we want to build oracle based solution for any industry or sector which will also helpfull for me and my team not only for College Final Year Project but also for after college industry solutions.
    As in consideration different sectors are in front of us, i.e Oil & Gas, Manufacturing, Automobiles, Communications etc
    But, we think this forum is much help full cause different professional peoples are much better able to guide us with respect to current and upcoming trends.
    Thanks
    Amir

    Hi Amir,
    I can think of a dozen different projects. You could check the functionalities in Oracle's eBusiness Suite (Oracle Applications). For instance you could implement a human resource module (employees details, salaries etc), or a employee time card application. Why not a resource booking system (conference rooms, beamers, computers etc).
    All these examples could easily be split into parts. Say for instance time reporting. One group could implement the interface to the employees, one group the interface to the managers, to the human resource department, and there's also quite some administrative setup modules.
    What project proposals have you come up with yet?
    Well, because it's your first post I warmly welcomes you to the Oracle Forums here at Oracle Technology Network.

  • MyDAQ university project basic help needed

    Hi,
    I am looking to set up a myDAQ in Labview to take in audio waves, and control a vibration motor if a certain decibel limit is reached. I have used the daq assistant to manage an audio input and have this setup so voltages from a mic are read continuously. I don't really know what step to take next to control a vibration motor. Can anyone offer and guidance on what hardware I require and how to set up the software through labview?
    Thank you kindly,
    Olly

    Dear ollyneedham,
    Thank you for posting to the forums. 
    I wanted to get some further information from you.
    What type and version of LabVIEW are you using? Do you have LabVIEW Base, Full, Professional or Development? 
    In regards to the audio waves you will take in, what range of frequencies are you looking at? 
    Use of the DAQ Assistant is a great start and I see you have already configured this to read voltages from the mic continuously.
    The next step is to look at using the analogue input signals, with some boolean logic (for the threshold) and route this with a control algorithm. #
    Is your motor a stepper motor or a DC brushless motor? Does it require a motor drive to run? Would you be able to post up the model and specifications of the motor? 
    Would you also be able to post up a diagram of the system you are creating?
    You will need to use Digital I/O in order to create the control algorithm. This will be using the DAQmx driver.
    Here are some links that will hopefully get you started in regards to controlling a motor using DAQmx.
    - Turn on a DC Computer Fan using a Solid-State Relay, myDAQ, and LabVIEW
    - control dc motor with mydaq
    - Control Stepper Motor while Reading Encoder
    - Studying Earthquakes With the myQuake NI miniSystem for NI myDAQ (Pioneer Release)
    - DC Motor Controller using a Tachometer
    - Pulse Width Modulation

    - Motor Control with NI DAQ Motor Control System
    - Two Plane Balancing Example with DAQmx

    If you could let me know how you get on that would be great.

  • Help needed working with layers and exporting from acrobat3d

    hi, i am repostng this message becaus eihad no success last time, and I am working under a tight deadline for a school project. any help will be tremendously appreciated
    I received an Acrobat 3d file with a model that was originally created in CATIA v4 embedded in it.
    I need to export the model for use in rhino. Currently the model size is enormous as an IGES that Windows runs out of memory when attempting to open. This is a bit wasteful since I do not need all of the model, I just need a layer of it. I noticed that when exporting to IGES you have the option to export hidden or not, and I have hidden the layers i do not need (via Isolation) and still I get the whole file.
    Is there a way I can do this? export the file With the layers under the model tree? or is there a way I can delete a layer? or how can I make the hidden object feature work when Exporting IGES as not to get the things I dont need?
    I read that you can open the model in Toolkit to edit it but it wont let me, open it... no "edit 3d in toolkit" option and when i open the pdf in toolkit it says unknown file....
    is there a way i can open the embedded model in CATIA again?
    thanks for the help

    Please email me your contact information at [email protected] and I might be able to help you.
    Thanks.

  • Project Help Needed

    Version of InDesign: CS6
    Note: I am a beginner, I have not been trained in any Adobe products, I am not familiar with the tech lingo
    I work for a business where we have started using InDesign to create personalized labels for products. I created a file with a simple master page at dimensions of  4" x 3" with the desired template for the label. I then create new masters based on the first one I made and then edit the layers as needed. I have four base files with about 200 'product specific' master pages in each. I have to copy these files over about 12 times to create customer-specific labels with logos, retails, etc. That comes to about 10,000 labels total.
    The problem is, I have to print these labels off on sheets of paper with 6 labels on each page. Does anyone know of a way I can print the single label master pages off at 6 to a page?
    One other solution is to create a new master page "template" with six label designs to a page, which would be very simple to print off. But then the files would be a lot bigger (my computer won't like that) and (I  assume) I would have to bring the information over to the new file by copying&pasting text/relinking images about 6 times for each label.
    Does anyone have any ideas that would save me time? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    There is an excel formula that will calculate the check digit and create a field with the full barcode number. I haven't had to do this in years, so I no longer have it, but it should be easy enough to look up. If you are using the number to place the barcode graphic, you can also add the extension automatically in excel.
    Just add a '@ before the column name of any column containing image names. If you put your datafile in the folder with the images, you won't have to put the image path.

    Thanks Amol for the advice.
    My friend doesn't belong to an engineering background and had not worked in a manufacturing environment.
    He holds an MBA degree specialised in systems and has worked in software companies supporting software projects and the functions(like HR,Procurement in the same setup) as a software quality guy.
    Moreover the modules mentioned by you requires engineering background with manufacturing exposure.
    He had enquired for the course at siemens and they said that he may not be suitable for any of the modules offered by them as per the above reasons.They also mentioned that they have to check with SAP Labs for expert opinion.

  • Help needed for using BASIC authentication through JDBCRealm

    Help needed.
    Hello,
    I am doing a degree project, so far it works fine in my local machine, I need to try it on my virtual hosting (as it is a live server).
    My project requires JDBCRealm, that is BASIC authentication loading access data from mysql database. Normally this setup can be done in Server.xml file, because my Tomcat hosting is a virtual one, I only have permission to access the web.xml file.
    My question is: is it possible to get it done in an alternative way? In web.xml? Some properties file maybe?
    Thank you very much.

    You can set this up for your context using META-INF/context.xml instead of working with server.xml.
    Make a directory called META-INF under your webapp ( it'll be at the same level as WEB-INF ). Under this, add a context.xml with all your context specific configuration including the realm. A sample is below
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Context path="/myApp" reloadable="true">
        <Realm
            className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm"

  • EDI IDOC generation for interface with Vendor software help needed.

    EDI IDOC help needed.
    We are NOT an EDI shop, but have a project to output data to Sales Force.com
    Sales Force requests IDOC output - eg. 810 Outbound Invoice.
    We will need to do a historical load of Orders/Quotes/Invoices from the past 2 years.
    Is there a function module or series of FM's that are used to generate the E2EDKxxxxx type segments?
    I have been testing using the IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC and IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP FM's, but they generate segments begining with E1EDKxxxxx.
    Basicall we have a report program that the user enteres in the date range of Order/Quotes/Invoices they wish to extract, the the program needs to output a flat file (.txt) on the server which is then picked up by Sales Force.com.
    Also, is there a way to have in the Partner Profile a generic Partner under the "Type KU" that can be used for all orders/invoices so I don't have to create a KU Partner Type for each and every Sold-To customer we have?
    I am very new to EDI so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Scott.

    Hi Scott,
    We will need to do a historical load of Orders/Quotes/Invoices from the past 2 years.
    I know it's very tempting to use an interface for such loads if you anyhow have to create one. However, often the volume alone speaks against interface usage for such scenarios.
    Is there a function module or series of FM's that are used to generate the E2EDKxxxxx type segments? I have been testing using the IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC and IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP FM's, but they generate segments begining with E1EDKxxxxx.
    Well, the E2* segments basically reflect the external name of the IDoc segment, whereas the function modules you're referring to basically just create an internal version of the IDoc. Once the IDoc framework then passes the IDocs to the partner, the segment names usually (depends on how the IDocs are passed on) get converted to their external name. If there are multiple versions of a segment, then the version number will be appended to the segment name.
    Note that IDoc segment definitions are only partially stored in the data dictionary. If you want to see all versions you should always use transaction WE31 to look at segments. There you can also see for example for E1EDK01 the several versions and when you then use in SE37 function module SEGMENT_EXTERNAL_NAME_GET you will see what SAP produces as the external name for segment E1EDK01. This function module is basically the one that handles the segment name translations.
    Ignore the comments for subsystem, this is basically an option in SAP to possibly trigger further external tools (e.g. mapping etc.) for handling the outbound IDocs.
    Again, the funny thing is that via the WE30 transaction, if i put in INVOIC02 as the Obj. name and see the segments, i can see that E2EDK01 there is a version 005, but if i go to SE11 and put in E2EDK01005 structure line and i get a "not found". We just have up to E2EDK01002.
    In the old days SAP used to generate E1, E2 and E3* structures in the data dictionary (SE11). The E1* structure reflected the character type representation of an IDoc segment, whereas the other two (definition and documentation) contained actual references to data elements (e.g. if you used a quantity field). However, in newer releases those dictionary structures (E2* & E3*) are no longer generated, because they're superfluous (meta data defined via WE31 is sufficient).
