Putting things on top of objects?

Somebody got an idea why the interactive objects always come on top of everything else? how can I put a small icon that is jpg or just a frame on top of the Object?

the problem wwith this workaround of stacking interactive overlays is, that
they need certain setups to be able to sit on top.
a button that sits on top of any other interactive overlay needs a valid
action (like navto://void, with 'void' being not a name of an article in
your folio) and two states: normal and clicked (can be visually identical)
if you convert your graphic into a 2-state-MSO with identical states you
need it to autoplay and enable "tap to start/pause". there will be no visual
difference due to the identical states.
these "super objects" how I call them are able to sit above any slide show,
image sequence, webcontent, even above videos playing inline.

Can I put buttons on top of a slideshow?

My client has asked the latest cover of their magazine to have a slow crossfade of about 5 images as the background, with elements such as logos & links to articles over the top.
I thought this would be easy since the Slideshow » Crossfade feature is simple to control, but I run into trouble as soon as I put anything on top of it—the slideshow appears on top of everything else in the preview, even if it's an interactive element.
Am I missing a step somewhere? I feel like this should be a relatively simple thing to do—but it's been about 6 months since my last DPS project so I'm a little rusty, and a lot has been updated in the meantime.
My other option would be to do the crossfade in Photoshop and import as an image sequence, but I suspect I'd run into the same problem (correct me if I'm wrong!).
Or I could do the animation in Edge Animate and import as an HTML object. Would either of those options give me better results? They seem a little more complex for essentially the same end product.

Yep, they're buttons.
So far I've only added one button, for initial testing. It's the client's logo as a placed Illustrator file. In Buttons and Forms, it's type is a Button, I've named it and On Release or Tap it has a Go To URL action. It has no rollover or click states and it is not Hidden Until Triggered. I feel like I'm missing a step somewhere there...
Putting the buttons into each state of the MSO works fine, but is less than ideal since they'll change many times before the final version. Updating 5 versions of the same thing each time will get a bit tedious! That's the only way I can get it to work for now though, so I'll keep going like that.
Adding a text frame with scrollable content works fine - it appears on top of the slideshow.
Adding another slideshow on top works as well... but my buttons don't!
EDIT: And yes, I mean in Adobe Content Viewer. It displays the same on the desktop version and on my iPad.

Putting text on top of a custom shape

If I put text on top of a custom shape I've added, the text doesn't show. I know it's there because if I change the opacity of the "shape" I can see the text is in fact there. How do I force the text to be on top of the customer shape? I'm using the shape as a "thought bubble" so one would think this is a common thing to do.

It's probably not because of the shape. First of all check your color square to be sure the text isn't the same color as the shape. Also, you may need to make text very much larger in PSE than you normally would, because text size is dependent on the resolution of the image. A high resolution image can need really big text before you can easily see it. Don't be afraid to type in a much larger number than is available in the pulldown menu.

There are Craigslist apps that are nice, but trying using copy paste. Go to your photos, select the photo. Hold down your finger on it to copy. Then in the body of the post, hold down your finger and select paste.

How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?

Hello - Not everyone lives in Silicon Valley or New York City. I have a relatively slow internet connection so it takes about 2 hours to download a 45-minute tv episode. Yesterday I did that, and today I went to watch it and it had been put back in the cloud! "No problem," says Apple, "You can download it again." It takes f**** 2 hours to download it again. How can I keep Itunes from putting things I've already downloaded back into the cloud?

How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?
You don't. They are in the cloud as soon as you make a purchase. As in immediately/right now. They don't get uploaded from yoru computer to the cloud.
Did you delete it after you watched it?

Can I put only the top image of a stack in a Mobile Album?

I have an album that contains stacks and I would like to put only the top images of these stacks in a Mobile Album. Is this possible?
I have tried to make a new album and only put the top images in this new album without sucess. Is it possible to have a stack of images in one album and only the top image in another ablum?
I hope someone knows about this
Hans Brodin

Hi Surendra,
My target is to find a convenient way to transfer my best photos only to my iPad
By using stacks for similar photo and putting my best shot on top I reduce the number of images displayed in the organizer. A typical stack contains of 8 shots.
Then I put my best stacks in an album. By using the Slide Show in PE I have a convenient way to display only my best shot and tha's OK for my computer were I have a lot of disc space.
But on my iPad the size of memory is limited and it also takes some time to transfer a huge number of images so now I want to find a convenient way of tranfering only the top image of each stack. If I could have a separate album containing only the top images from each stack the task would have been easy.
Now this is not possible so now I hope there is another solution than acually making a separate copy (a new file) of each top image and put these copies in a separate album. This will of course work but it will end up in having two identical images showing up in the organizer and so I do not really like this idea.
I hope I have managed to describe my intention and do you have an idea for a workaround or do I need to make separate copies?
Thanks a lot
Hans

Bulk Create Users from CSV: Error: "Put": "There is no such object on the server."?

Hi,
I'm using the below PowerShell script, by @hicannl which I found on the MS site, for bulk creating users from a CSV file.
I've had to edit it a bit, adding some additional user fields, and removing others, and changing the sAMAccount name from first initial + lastname, to firstname.lastname. However now when I run it, I get an error saying:
"[ERROR] Oops, something went wrong: The following exception occurred while retrieving member "Put": "There is no such object on the server."
The account is created in the default OU, with the correct firstname.lastname format, but then it seems to error at setting the "Set an ExtensionAttribute" section. However I can't see why!
Any help would be appreciated!

How to find top level object on a given layer?

I need to assign it to a var...
var topLevelObj = app.activeDocument.layers.name("foo")... whatever is on top of that stack...
...this is probably not correct but you know what I mean

Jump_Over wrote:
Hi,
top level object is the first in a collection:
var fooLayerTopObj = app.activeDocument.layers.item("foo").pageItems[0]
Jarek
I'm not very good in ID-scripting, but I think this isn't good enough to find topmost item of a layer.
Why?
- create a new document
create a polygon
create a rectangle
create an ellipse
create a line
Run this script snippet:
var pI = app.activeDocument.layers.item(0).pageItems;
for (i=0; i<=pI.length-1; i++) {
pI[i].select();
alert (i);
pI[i].locked = true;
Do you see, which element pageItems[0] is?

Cant put image on top of another image

Hi,
I'm using keynote 09 with the 'Blueprint' theme. I'm attempting to edit the master slides by putting a company logo in the corner of each slide. This works fine on slides without images, but on slides with images, keynote will not let me put my logo over the image placeholder. The placeholder image always blocks my logo, even when I choose 'Send backward' on the place holder.
Is there a way around this?
thanks

Sorry, I was typing fast.
The problem is that you cannot put images above media placeholders on master slides. One suggestion was to make my image (my logo comprised mostly of white text) a media placeholder as well, therefore I could edit the master slide and layer my new media placeholder (logo) above the default-already-existing placeholder (some architectural image in the blueprint theme).
This works but has an additional problem.
Since my logo is white text, I wanted for it to stand out from the picture beneath it. As I sometimes do, I thought I should place my white-text-logo on top of a small black rounded rectangle with transparency (like a cartouche).
I like to do that because it makes my logo legible, while still showing the picture through the transparency. INdeed, this is easy to do if you are only dealing with pictures and shapes (and not the magical placeholder versions of them)
You can make the shape a text placeholder, and you can make the image (logo) a media placeholder, but you can't group the two together as a unit. And if you group them first, then you cannot make your group (shape+image-logo) a placeholder at all, so you then cannot layer it on top of the default image place holders.
I was saying that I'd have to open my logo in photoshop and put it on top of a 'cartouche' and then import that modified image, and THEN make it a media placeholder.
But obviously it would be easier if keynote just let us properly layer elements as you would expect it to work.
I mean, setting images aside, why can't I create a shape and put it in front of a media placeholder without making the shape a text placeholder?
Of course I can edit my logo and add dropshadow or glow to make it stand out, but even then, I would need to make it a placeholder before keynote would let me layer on top of another placeholder. And if I'm going through the trouble of using photoshop to add shadows or glows, I might as well just put the image on top of a cartouche as originally desired.

"Top level objects not released" warning when accessing LabVIEW adapter through API

I'm having a problem when using the TestStand API in LabVIEW: I'm trying to get the VI path for a TestStand test step, but I'm getting the "Top level objects not released properly" warning. It doesn't look like I'm forgetting to close something, but obviously I am. Snippet is below, and warning text follows. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using LabVIEW 2010 and TestStand 2010.
This forum has been a huge help. Thanks to everyone!

References to PropertyObjects were not released properly. Total number of objects: 418 Number of top-level objects: 7
Note: Some top-level objects may be included if they are referenced by an incorrectly released top-level object. For example, an unreleased SequenceContext object references a SequenceFile object.
The following top-level objects were not released:
Type Definitions [6 object(s) not released] Type Definition #1: Name: FlexGStepAdditions
Type Definition #2: Name: VIParameter
Type Definition #3: Name: VIParameterElement
Type Definition #4: Name: NI_LabVIEWParameterResult
Type Definition #5: Name: Expression
Type Definition #6: Name: Path
And the following uncategoried objects: LabVIEWModule (FlexGStepAdditions) Name: SData
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yep, that worked. I thought that Variant To Data was just converting the module reference to the LabVIEWModule data type, but apparently I was wrong... This TS leak checker is sure making me learn about how to properly close references... I've been programming memory leaks for years!
I was also having problems with LabVIEW crashing after the VI ran, and fixing the order of the close references fixed that, too.
Working code is below.
Thanks a lot (again) Doug.

I'm using movie program how do get rid of background noise and put music over top of video

Niel,
Thanks for your suggestion about using RCDefaultApp. I am hesitating to do this because it seems like I'd be installing still another piece of software to fix the original mistake---downloading Reader.
About 20 years ago I maintained---with considerable handholding---UNIX systems of various sorts. Can you suggest how I might find the plist that seems to require changing?
BTW, Preview is called whenever I open some random .pdf file. The problem appears when I want to get a file from the web. If the site permits a "download" I can get the file, but if I want to "view and print" the file, the evil dark-grey Adobe screen appears with the whirling black ball. Then Safari quits. I'm wondering if the reference to Reader is in a "cookie" sent from the website, when I first was installing Reader. Is this possible?
