Removing background from text?

Hi All. I am a very new user to Flash and know my question is
probably extremely basic but I can't figure out what I'm doing
wrong.
I am trying to place fading text on top of an image and when
I create the animation, it places it on a white (specified)
background. The animation I have created is on its own layer. So my
question would be, how do I remove the background from my text? I
would like a transparent background so my text fades in right on
top of my image.
Right now, the initial image with falling snow starts and
about 25 frames in, it turns to white and the text fades in...how
do i get rid of the white so the text fades in and you are still
able to see the image and the falling snow?
I am very very new to Flash (3 days in) and although this is
a ridiculously easy task to perform in photoshop, I cannot grasp
how to do it in flash cs4. Thank you, in advance, for any help I
may receive. I'm trying hard to learn this medium...

Select the textfield on the stage and see if the icon remains
unselectable... if so, what version of Flash are you using (I'm
just curious if it's CS4)?
Another way to remove the textfield background/border is thru
actionscript. The textfield must have an instance name to be able
to do this. Let's say you name it tFeld. In a timeline layer for
actions, select the first frame of the actions layer where the
textfield appears on the timeline below it (I only assume it's on a
layer below somewhere) anmd type the following in the actionscript
editor window:
tField.background = false;
tField.border = false;
If none of the above works, then I have a feeling I'm
misinterpretting the scenario. I'm assuming the textfield includes
its own background at that there isn't some other background
involved that you area talking about.

Remove background from Smart Build images

Hi,
I've just started creating my first project with Keynote, and so far it's terrific. The question I have is, is it possible to use the alpha tool, or something similar to remove backgrounds from images that I'm using for a smart builds effect.
Thanks,
Dave

Welcome to the discussions, Decaffeinated1.
The problem you're seeing is specifically with how Keynote copies images. Neither Pages nor Numbers has this problem. The problem and the solution is described here.
http://www.keynoteuser.com/news/?p=256
Basically, your choice is to copy through Pages or Numbers (or iWeb) OR to copy another object which will force Keynote to adhere to the transparency set with Instant Alpha.

Removing background from picture

Hi I m automodeliste and I need create my own decals .My question is how can I remove the background from the picture of the real car staying only whith the text that I want.
I'm using the photoshop cs6.
Thanks

If I am understanding your question correctly you can just use the quick selection tool in the tool bar on the left side of the screen towards the top. Zoom into the image if you have to, then simply click on the image until it is highlighted by a doted line to the desired amount of image you want. Then you can do whatever you want with it. Or for a little more advanced user you can use the pen tool by point and click. Going around the image and just connecting the dots as you go. With the image completely selected by making it aroung to where you started you can then do whatever else you want. With a little practice you can even use the pen tool to make custom curves and make font follow those curves this is a very cool feature I use a lot doing vinyl decals myself. Hope this was helpful.

Remove String From Text Block

I need to remove the following string "Price: $5.80-" from
text block listed below... I have a bunch of text blocks similar to
this one listed below, but they all have this sort of string in
them ("Price: $5.80-")... Each text block has a "Price" and end an
"-" mark... Is there anyway to strip this line out of everyone of
my listings...

In the code below, I assume the "Price" will be on a separate
line.

Removing Background From Picture Problem

I'm not an expert with Photoshop and am having a problem removing the background from the picture below. The Selected area doesn't stay within the circular cream colored area but always goes outside and fills up the whole square except for the middle hole area. How can I remove the background?

It sounds like you are trying to use something like Quick Select and maybe Refine edge. The problem is that you don't have enough contrast for the work well. You can temporarily increase contrast with a Levels adjustment layer using setting like below
Having made the selection, go back to the original layer to apply the selection.
But that is still not the best way to select with your image. The Pen tool would make a better job, but there is a learning curve in using that. You could just use the elliptical Marquee tool for the center hole. Remember you don't need to do the entire selection in one go.
lastly, you'd have made life easier if you took the photograph with the flange hanging from fishing line against a bright white BG. That's what we call the 'Shoot it Again filter'
Good luck. It soon gets easier

Removing background from plastic wrap

Hi all,
I need to remove the background from this image while keeping the straw and plastic wrap. Have looked all over for a tutorial, but no luck. Any help on how to do this would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

I guess it depends on your goal.
If you just want to change the background you might get away with just using the multiply blending mode.
If you want a seperate transparent file you could try something like this:
1.duplicate the layer
2. select all
3. edit>copy
4. add a layer mask (press the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel)
5. alt click on the layer mask
6. edit>paste
7. image>adjustments>invert
8. apply the layer mask (right click on the layer mask and press apply layer mask)
9.Select>Deselect
10. Layer>matting>remove white matte
You might add a drop shadow to bring out the plastic more.

Removing background from video(2)

I want to remove the background from video easily and live,
using green screen like they do in most forecasts at tv news.
(where they display the forecast map...)
Is it possible?

Removing background from line drawing

I'm desperate to find out how I can removing the background from a line drawing, leaving only the lines.

Couple of additional tricks that can help in cleaning the image before using the magic wand. Open Levels and set a white point on the background using the white point eye dropper. This can clean up some stray marks. You can also use Threshold (filter>adjustments>threshold)to better separate the lines from the background.

Removing gray background from text

I have copied a text interspersed with black outlined on a homogeneous gray background. All is in black and 'white'.
Is there a way to remove the gray background? I would like to print the text and the outlines on white.

Just a bit of amplification.
When you open your file, you will see that the background layer is a locked layer. Drag the padlock icon to the trash bin to unlock it - it will then be Layer 0. Now use the magic wand tool.

How to remove background from image?

Hello folks.
I am trying to incorporate some business logos into a brochure I am creating. The problem is, most of these logos have a white background. How can I remove this and make a transparent background?
Thanks!

Blend modes are your friend. always keep in mind that Multiply, screen and overlay affect the white, black and gray depending which one you choose.
Attached is a blend mode example from photoshop using a black to white gradient. The normal layer fills the document with.the blend layers on top with the gradient inverted.
This example is text naming the solid color backgrounds blended over a gradient.

How to remove pause from Text Entry Box

Saw a discussion on this in the archives, but didn't exactly address what I was hoping. Basically I'm hoping to use a Text Entry box to allow a user to save notes for the project. Yes, I know that there is a notes widget, but I'm not a fan of it. Is there a way to remove the automatic pausing of the TEB? Or is there something else someone else has done to allow users to take notes rather than the Notes widget?

Hopefully I'm not missing something, but other buttons and such have a checkbox next to the "Pause After" portion of timing. TEB boxes do not seem to have this and indeed, even if I set it to 0 or whatever, it just defaults to 0.1 seconds.
I'm hoping to try and use the text I collect from their notes added into this TEB to be able to display at a final review slide before a quiz. Not sure if it's going to work, but I don't want to force a user to use the notes box, hence the disabling of a pause.
I'm open to other ideas of how to allow taking notes without using the notes widget. If there's anything better.

Removing images from text

I have a relative that keeps sending me pictures with her texts.
I was wondering if there is a way to remove the pictures from the phone, but still save the conversation.

Mine didn't work exactly like that, but it got me close.
But I have a friend who is also having that problem.
She can follow your advice, but after she taps on the circle, she cannot see the trash can.

Removing Background from Subject Using Clean Plate?

If I have a clean plate and then another layer with talent acting in the same exact shot as the clean plate, is there any way for After Effects to remove the background of the shot with the talent? I essentially want to do a green screen without the green screen.

You need to use a technique called rotoscoping to separate the subject from the background. You can then put the subject over the clean plate.
Rotoscoping is not an easy or an automatic technique. You'll find valuable information about it here.
This page has some very good links. You should know that AE's Rotobursh tool can not be used intuitively, and that you must look at the training for it that you'll find in the links in the page above.
