Requesting help with problem in CS3 Fireworks

Just recently I've started experiencing a rather weird problem with my CS3 fireworks program. When I hover the mouse over any particular tool it does not highlight as the tool I am about to select. For example, if I want to select the text tool I have to hover the mouse over the slice tool which in turn highlights the text tool and then I can select it. This problem exists with any tool I try to select.
When I first started using CS3 Fireworks it was working properly. I've not added any new software to my computer or made any kind of changes to my operating system (PC) Vista. The problem just started occuring.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you might be able to provide me.
Regards,
Russ Palumbo

    can anyone help with problem updating iphone5s cant get anything only apple on screen sometimes screen flashes blue

    Hey damien555,
    Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

    Request some one from Oracle to PLEASE help with the following query or help me to move the post to right forum.
    I have downloaded BI Apps 7.9 to load it on top of BI EE. These are received from Development Downloads under OTN site (not eDelivery). Both these are planned as development install on one machine with sufficient specs on Windows 32 bit platform.
    BI EE is loaded and starts successfully. Then switched of the services and started to load BI Apps CD1. Done it successfully. Next while starting to install Informatica PowerCenter 7.1.4 it asks product license key. Please help to know where to get this key? Also please help with any connectivity and options key, as well as those for any other products, related to this objective.
    Many thanks,

    Hi RAJC,
    Many thanks for the suggestion. I have moved past that aspect now with this help. Have also verified that everything is working well with BI server, presentation services, scheduler server etc. Admin tool works fine.
    But have difficulty connecting DAC client to the database. The login window does not bring up option to select suitable driver for connecting to Oracle Database 10.2.0.x Also, wonder what table owner name and pw will work here? are they the same as those for schema owner? that is sh.rpd etc? The BI apps version is 7.9 and BIEE is 10.1.3.3

  • TS1363 Help with Problem encountered with iPod Touch 5th gen After performing  Sync.

    Hello Friends.
    My name is Joaquin. I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem I have encountered with my iPod Touch 5th generation running under OS 7.0.4.
    After performing a Sync, a lot of the song in my iPod showed a red icon beside the song. It is the same Circle with a square in the center icon that shows the download progress status that you see when updateing APPs, etc.
    The songs play perfectly in my computer library and in an old iPod Classic but not in the iPod Touch. The only difference was that when I connected the iPod I got a message stating something like "Transfer purchases from iPod touch to computer" despite of the fact that I did not make purchases from my IPod.
    I will really appreciate the help. I can´t survive without my music. Thank you in advance.

  • Requesting help with a time/date synchronization problem--thanks

    I'm having a bear of a time trying to get my desktop outlook to synchronize with my 8820 blackberry. Running XP and Outlook from Office 03.  Date/time show correct on my desktop and on the device but, every time I synchronize, the calendar seems to get messed up with hour shifts on different entries. Sometimes I can see a time appear on the "details" screen when I'm synchronizing that is an hour off from the time that is on the device?  Any ideas? Many thanks.

    Sorry--meant to also say that I had reviewed the most recent similar thread on this.  In addition to both the PC and device having the right time, I did confirm both are set to the same time zone.  Really stumped on this one--thanks again.

  • Please help with problem in PDF file and printing

    I have created an Illustrator file with a logo on it. The logo looks fine in Illustrator (CS3 and CS5). If I use "save as" to then save the .ai file to a .pdf file, the logo looks the same as in the .ai file. However, if I use "print" to create a .pdf file, the logo sometimes loses some of the elements in it.
    Here is what the logo should look like:
    Below is what it looks like when I use "print" to generate the PDF file:
    An additional problem is that even if I used "save as" to generate the pdf file, some times, when the file is actually printed physically onto paper, the logo appears in the wrong version (although it looks right on screen).
    Can someone help me with this? I am quite desparet right now because I can't see how I can control this.
    Also, is there any way I can attached the .ai file so someone can look at it?
    The white lines that disappear are not "lines" they are a slightly larger shape placed behind the smaller black one in fonrt.
    Thanks for any help!

    Why are you "printing to pdf"? Does "Save As" yield better results?

  • Help with paths in CS3

    Hi all, I'm not an illustrator expert by any stretch of the imagination, more a photoshop dude. I'm having a problem with Illustrator CS3 (i know, 2 versions old, but there's a recession on). I'm using Windows XP.
    I am using the brish and pen tool to draw and it's been working fine. I did an undo and now the shape will not fill or stroke. What have I done? have I accidently hit the wrong shortcut and transformed the paths into something else? how do I get the shape back to  format I can fill and stroke?
    Any help would be very much apreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Monika,
    Here is a screenshot of my Illustrator screen:
    http:http://www.deantusmedia.com/temp/illustrator%20paths.jpg
    and a link showing a close up of the faces of the characters. You will see that part of the lips on the man is stroked, and even though it is part of the whole path, only this spline is stroked.
    http://www.deantusmedia.com/temp/illustrator%20paths2.jpg
    At the moment i am just drawing out the shapes and using the stroke so I can my lines, In the end the shapes will be filled with a flat colour, as you can see from the eye and some of the hair on the man. It's all going to be flat colours, no gradiants or shading.
    I hope you can help me.

  • Urgent Request: Help With Websheet Issues

    Hello.
    This is an urgent request for help. I am currently developing a websheet demo and have run into several puzzling issues.
    I am using APEX 4.0.1. My organization will upgrade to 4.0.2 in several months.
    Issue 1:
    I am trying to create a file annotation to be associated with several rows in a data grid I created. When I browse to the .xls file to be uploaded and then click "Apply", a stripped wait bar appears indicating that the file is being uploaded. Or so I thought. Instead, that stripped bar sits there FOREVER. After 30 minutes waiting for a very simple two-row .xls file (first row is the column headers followed by a row of data - simple integers), I finally clicked the "Cancel" button. The file was not uploaded.
    I have repeated this several times, and even closed/re-opened my browser. Same results. Even tried a simple .txt file. Still no good.
    I am running IE 8.x I even tried the same thing in FireFox 3.6.1. Same behavior.
    Issue 2:
    I also created a Note annotation. After entering some simple text (about 10 words) and clicking the "Apply" button, the page displays the following error:
    Sun, 2 Jan 2011 22:18:44 GMT wwv_flow.show: SIGNATURE (parameter names) MISMATCH VARIABLES IN FORM NOT IN PROCEDURE: F21,F22,F23,F24,F25,F26,F27,F28,F29,F30,F31,F32,F33,F34,F35,F36,F37,F38,F39,F40,F41,F42,F43,F44,F45,F46,F47,F48,F49,F50,F51,F52,F53 NON-DEFAULT VARIABLES IN PROCEDURE NOT IN FORM:
    I then click the previous breadcrumb link which take me back to my data grid I then click the pencil "Edit" icon for the row for which this Note is associated and, to my surprise, the Note with my entered text is there. APEX did, in fact, create it. However, not without displaying this error message which I'm sure would be rather intimidating to our end users trying to do this. this same behavior occurs when trying to modify an already existing Note. I receive the same message. However, the modifications were enacted.
    As with Issue 1, this same behavior is seen with FireFox as well.
    Issue 3:
    After saving my Data Grid as an "Alternative Default Report", I see the Note annotation I created associated with the report row. However, when I hover my mouse on the Note icon, all that displays is the first 4 words or so, about 15 characters, followed by a 3-dot ellipsis. The remaining 10+ characaters are hidden. What good is that?
    Is there aimit to the number of characaters that can be placed in a Note Annotation? I have not seen this characater limit mentioned anywhere in the online APEX docs. I realize that I probably would not want a PhD disseration placed in a Note, but just 30 or so characaters? That seems awfully skimmpy.
    As before, I'm seeing this same strange behavior in FireFox 3.6.1 as with IE 8.x
    Issue 4:
    When editing text in a Section, I attempt to re-size the text with a larger font size (say, from 10 to 14). I click the "Apply" button, but the resulting text stays the same size. I am unable to re-size the font in a section.
    Even more puzzling is that the OBE "Building a Websheet In APEX 4.0" example application (http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/apex/r40/websheets/websheets_ll.htm) which takes me step-by-step in creating a websheet app shows that one can do all of the things mentioned in the above three issues. So, then, how is this tutorial able to do all these things but I am not?
    Are these issues fixed in the 4.0.2 patch? I checked the online list of bug fixes for this patch and, although several do relate to websheets, none address the above three issues.
    As mentioned, I am trying to prepare for this websheet demo and would really appreciate some quick advice or suggestions.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi, Christina.
    Thanks very much for the info about why we are seeing multiple APEX$ tables sprinkled amongst multiple schemas. I've passed this info to our APEX administrator.
    Also, thanks for confirming what I suspected was a bug in the rich text editor. Hopefully this will be addressed soon.
    I do understand your comment about not being able to stylize the Title text. Still, I am wondering why I do NOT see the HTML code in my own environment here at work. Yet on apex.oracle.com I see the code. This is why I made the comment in my last post. Seeing this code where there shouldn't be any code surprised me. So, why is this code not showing up for me here?
    With respect to my file upload issue, as mentioned in my original post, I am NOT able to upload a quite simple .xls file as a file annotation to be associated with a row in a data grid I had created. However, I AM able to upload this exact same .xls file to a section on a page without problem.
    In my websheet app on apex.oracle.com, navigate to Data -> Data Grids, click on the data grid "MAD Data Upload", select the report "2. Symbols Report with Annotations", click the pencil icon next to (I believe) the 2nd row which currentl displays a link, a note, and several tags. Then attempt to upload a simple .xls Excel file. The one I tried has 2 rows, a header row with 5 column headers, and a 2nd row with integer values for those 5 columns. That's it. After browsing to my file and clicking the "Apply" button, I get a stripped progress bar that sits there FOREVER. After about 10 minutes I gave up waiting. I figured that, even over the web, a simple two row Excel file should have been uploaded after ten minutes. My connection is pretty fast. I get no errors. Also there is no file.
    One more thing ... Remember my Issue 2 in which I was attempting to modify a previously created Note annotation and received a weird error (see my original post above)? Well, I attempted to do this on apex.oracle.com.
    In the same Data Grid row that you navigated to above, scroll to the very bottom and you will see my single Note Annotation. I attempted to modify this. I clicked the "Edit" link, typed in my changes, and clicked "Apply". This time, instead of receiving that weird error message, I received a more intelligent (though still weird) error message:
    Not Found
    Sorry!The page requested was not found.
    And, just as with the truly weird message I would consistently receive in my own environment here at work, the text changes I had made to the Note were, in fact, preserved because when I re-look at my Note Annotation in the Data Grid, the Note does show the changes I had made.
    Needless to emphasize, these errors would likely freak out end users who are adding Note Annotations to a Data Grid they had created. After all, these are the intended audience of a websheet app not a developer like me who is used to seeing such weird messages.
    Would you know what all this about?
    Thanks again for all your patience and sticking with me on this.

  • Can anybody help with problems with Mail & Backup, please?

    Hi, yesterday, for some reason, a problem developed with Mail.
    Without me changing anything, while it will send and receive e-mails through my Apple account, it has stopped downloading emails from my BT account, which previously worked fine.
    It keeps trying to log on to collect them (the rotating gear wheel beside the account operates) but nothing downloads. It is not the BT account which is at fault, since my iPhone, which is synched to the computer, downloads them fine.
    Also, while I had been regularly getting advice from Backup that my storage disk was full and it was deleting an old backup, today Backup has told me that the disc is full and the backup has failed.
    I cannot see anything in Settings which could obviously account for these changes.
    i am a pretty new Apple user (a conversion I cannot claim has been a great success so far, and I would be grateful for any help you can provide.
    Many thanks,
    Neil

  • Help with problem specifying text properties (style & antiAliasMethod)

    I would be very grateful if someone could help me figure out what I am doing wrong in specifying certain text properties, namely style and antiAliasMethod.  I have tried many different things and consulted the JavaScript Reference Guide, Tools Guide and PS CS4 Scripting Guide, as well as several example scripts, but I can't seem to find the information needed.
    The snippet of code below adds a text layer to a document and places text on it;  What I want is white Arial bold 10 point text with no antialiasing (this would appear as "none" in the PS CS4 text tool dialog).  This code does everything except get the bold property and the antialiasing = none property.  Instead, what this code produces is white Arial normal (not bold) crisp (not none) text,
    My attempt to get no antialiasing instead of "crisp" causes an execution error, so that line is commented out below.  The line setting style to "BOLD" does not create an execution error, but it doesn't give me bold, either (instead I get normal).
    I am certain these errors mean I do not understand the correct way to express the code to set these properties.  Can someone set me straight about how to do this?
    Thanks.
            // Create a new text layer at the top of the document
            var myLayerRef = newDocRef.artLayers.add();
            myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
            myLayerRef.name = "Test";
            var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
            // Set the text color, font, size, etc.
            var textColor = new SolidColor;
            textColor.rgb.red = 255;
            textColor.rgb.green = 255;
            textColor.rgb.blue = 255;
            myTextRef.color = textColor;
            myTextRef.font = "ArialMT";
            myTextRef.style = "BOLD";
    //        myTextRef.antiAliasMethod = "NONE";
            myTextRef.size = 10;
            // Set the text position, blend mode and opacity
            var tx = 10;
            var ty = 50;       
            myTextRef.position = new Array(tx,ty);
            myLayerRef.blendMode = BlendMode.NORMAL;
            myLayerRef.opacity = 100;
            // Insert the text
            myTextRef.contents = "Hello World";

    Update:
    I discovered how to fix both problems myself.
    The antialiasing was fixed by statement: myTextRef.antiAliasMethod = AntiAlias.NONE;
    The bold problem was fixed by changing the font name to "Arial-BoldMT" and deleting the statement which attempted to set the style to "BOLD".
    Thanks for your interest.  No further help is needed on this issue.

  • Newbe requests help with audio for slide-show on Premiere Elements 4.

    I recently wrote you regarding a problem I was having with a slide show I was making on Premiere Elements 4 importing photo clips and music from PhotoShop Elements 9.  Thank you for your help.
    This very large slide show, some 200 clips that I have not resized is completed.  I am now having many problems with the music audio I am adding to various sequences of the slide show.  Specifically:the audio will not stay fixed on the places where I put it and end it.  Working on the Timeline Usually the length of the audio is shorter than the ending of the photo clips where it must go.  I click on the audio and stretch it and end it at the place I designate.  However, the other end has moved also so now I am left with a gap where there is no audio at the beginning of the segment.  Now in addition, the "Delete and Close Gap" does not work most of the time causing me to manually move the photo tiles which sometimes move when this happens.  I have to move each one or two individually to the left to close the gap and many times this causes loss of one or two photo tiles or they are out of order or have increase in number (of the one I am moving).
    The program has also shut down for the past 10 days causing me to lose a good deal of work and sometimes photo clips and sometimes I get many duplicates of the photo clips.  All I do is edit mostly the same two segments doing this over and over because I can't proceed to importing any more music because I can't get the first segments correct.  I have chatted with you people, Sony techs, Microsoft Techs and Canon Techs.  The Sony techs suggested the program was at fault and I used the original installation disk and repaired the program.  It has still shut down on me but not as much.
    I got error messages on the photo-cap instructions page you suggessted otherwise I would show pictures of the above problems.
    I tried to copy and/or cut and paste from the Timeline thinking I would start a new slide show in PhotoShop Elements 9 using the same photos in reverse.  The program would not let me copy or paste.  There is great difficulty in highlighting the photo tiles in Timeline because I have to shift click on each individual tile and there are too many tiles and it would take too long to get a whole segment copied.  Maybe you know another way to do this?
    I am at a stand-still now and I am quite despondent because I have been working on this slide-show for 3 months and it was a surprise for my daughter's 25th anniversary that was last Tuesday.
    I do hope you have some good suggestions that will lelt me complete this Project and get it on a disk.  I am not that technical so please be specific.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kathy

    Here's the basic advice I'd give, based on my experience. Much depends, though, on your goals and the specifics of your computer system:
    1) Resize all of your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size. This is VITAL if you want the program to maintain stability as you work. Also render often (by pressing the Enter key). When the render, the red lines above the clips on your timeline will turn green and the program will run much more efficiently.
    2) Work on your large slideshow project in shorter segments. You've got over 15 minutes worth of slides. Try working on this slideshow in 5 minute segments, output each segment and then combined the finished videos.
    3) Use only WAV audio as your music and audio for your slideshow.
    4) When you add video, audio or stills to a parallel track on your timeline, hold down the Ctrl key to override the ripple function and your current clips will remain in place.
    5) Maintain your computer by using a tool like the excellent, free, one-click Advanced System Care available at http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
    As for Delete and Close Gap, how it performs depends on whether you've selected Clear or Delete, whether you've pressed the Backspace key or the Delete key and if there is video or audio on a parallel track. (This is all covered in my books, by the way, if you're interested.)
    Without knowing the specifics of your project and your situation, it's hard to give out more specific information -- but this advice should get you a long way toward completing your project!

  • Help with problems in Swing

    Hi, I am trying to develop a simple applet where a user can click on the screen to add jbuttons at the location of the mouse click. I have written an overly complex set of code that tries to achieve this goal, and in the end I have come close. My applet allows the user to input a certain number, and then click that many times on screen to create more jbuttons. The problem is that whenever the user clicks on screen a jbutton is created, but it only appears once the mouse has moved over it. I find this pretty weird, but basically when the user clicks, a jbutton is created within the program, but it is only "drawn" to the screen when the mouse moves directly over it.
    www.geocities.com/nickv360
    Can anyone explain to me why this is happening?
    http://www.geocities.com/nickv360/Source/AirlineModel.java
    http://www.geocities.com/nickv360/Source/City.java
    http://www.geocities.com/nickv360/Source/DrawingCanvas.java
    These are the source files if that helps at all. Addtinonally, the reset button doesn't work. The way the applet is supposed to be set up is to have an array of cities (JButtons) stored in DrawingCanvas. The drawing Canvas then accesses that cities[] array and adds each city[i] to the map. If there are no cities in the cities[] array, then no cities will be added. So, in order to successfully reset the map, here is what I do:
    cities = new City[numCities];
    removeAll();
    index = 0;
    repaint();
    I change the cities[] array to a new array of cities. I use the removeAll() method to take away all the JButtons that are currently on the map, I reset the index counter, and I repaint. Unfortunately this doesn't work.
    Does anyone know why Swing won't paint my buttons until the mouse moves over them, and why the reset method I've written doesn't work? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    Just wanted to let people know that I found the answer:
    As for the other problem, I think it has to do with you having overridden paint. Normally, when you call repaint on a container, it will automatically call repaint on all the components that it contains. I'm fairly certain that if you don't manually call super.paint(g); in your paint method, it won't do it for you.
    Calling super.paint(g) makes the all of the bugs in the code disappear.
    Thanks.
