Resizable, draggable, snap-to-each-other panels

Hello!
I seem to remember a sample file available for Flex that
consisted of a button to add panels to the stage. Once a panel was
on the stage, you could resize it, drag it around, or snap it to
the panels already on the stage.
I thought I linked to this file from the Features section on
the DevNet home page. I can't seem to find the download or a
reference to old feature articles...
Does anyone remember this sample or have a hyperlink to its
current location? Thanks in advance!

I know this may not be the most convenient, but when you're zoomed in a bit, clips will snap to each other. Clips will also snap to markers so if you highlite a clip and choose "mark > add time markers from selection" markers will be added to the front and end of a clip enabling you to snap to them.

Cannot Align Two Objects On Each Other

I have done a completely clean install of Creative Cloud CS6 on my mac on Mountain Lion. First time opening Illustrator, and I cannot center two vector objects on each other. Rather, when I click to center them (vertically or horizontally) it actually pushes them further apart! It also appears to be arbitrarily selecting another object on my art board when I select these two (there is no grouping overlap, it makes no sense). I've looked around before, and have 'align to selection' checked, and 'snap to grid/snap to point' unchecked in the 'view' dropdown. Going to try to trash my preferences, but this is literally the first time I've opened it, so I can't see how that would be an issue!
I use this tool CONSTANTLY in what I do, so this is really troubling. Has anyone had a similar problem and fixed it? Thanks so much!!

I held down Option+Command+Shift while opening Illustrator (as offered in another thread as a way to trash/reset preferences). I know it did this as I had changed the color scheme to light grey, and it's back to dark grey.
Opened up original file. Now, I can center things horizontally alright, but vertically jumped the both of them way down the page.
Created a new file. Could center horizontally, centering vertically did absolutely nothing—no jumping down the page, no doing what it should be doing...nada.

JTable Blank Rows When INSERT/DELETE in other panel with same ViewObject

Hi,
Jdev 10.1.2
JClient
2 panels based on same ViewObject in same AM
One panel with Grid UI => JTable
Other panel with Form UI
When I insert or delete a record in the panel with Form UI and return to the panel with JTable blank rows are displayed.
The problem remains even after commiting before returning to JTable panel.
When I activate the execute button in the JTable panel, the display is OK but the currency is lost.
I suppose calling the refresh method when returning to the JTable panel should solve the problem.
Can you please suggest me a server-side/model workaround:
refresh (which option to use ??)
Thanks
Frederic
PS I tried the workaround of thread 10.1.2 JClient binding Error. but that doesn't help.

Same problem with default wizard generated Master-Detail Form.
When in the detail more then 10 rows exist, the scrollbar shows that not all rows are displayed.
If I use the scrollbar to view the last rows they are blank, in order to display them I must activate the next button one time for each additional row.
The workaround is to enter -1 in the range size of the iterator.
But what if the range size is 10.
Is the blank rows display a bug?
OR
Must the scrolling area (size of JScrollPane) be defined according to the range size of the iterator?
If the latter is true:
Can somebody give me some clues on which attributes of the JScrollPane must be set (PreferredSize, MinimumSize ??) and on how to calculate this area: total width & total height if the row height for the table is set to 20?
Your help will be appreciated
Frederic

Please move the 'SEND' and 'SPELL CHECK' options away from each other, and when sending, ask the question, 'Are you sure you want to send now?' Thanks

The send and spell check options are next to each other. I can not tell you how many times I hit the send button be accident. When sending, and question of 'Are you sure you want to send now?', should be asked.
Thanks

Actually, unless something has changed, you can set Thunderbird to run an automatic spell check when you click Send. That might be your best workaround.
Tools menu > Options > Composition panel > Spelling mini-tab
(You can display the classic menu bar by tapping the Alt key)
It might also be possible to customize the toolbar, but I think this might be safer.
Regarding a general confirmation for sending, I noticed some add-ons for that, but I don't have any personal recommendations.

Can't line up two shapes on top of each other -they repel away with each try. Need help!

I have been using Illustrator since version 88 (1988), and I just recently upgraded from CS4 to CS5.5. I'm on a Mac intel running v10.6.8
I was trying to lock a rectangle over a circle. I'm in preview mode and couldn't see the snap to point action, so I zoomed up to 3200% and turned off preview to view it better. I made the circle first, then I made the rectangle. I selected the complete rectangle with the direct selection tool and grabbed it by the top left point and dragged it to the top control point on the circle. After letting go of the rectangle it jumped away, only a .5 of a pixel but still it wouldn't stay in place. (at the 3200% view it looks like 3/8 of an inch jump)
A slight miss alignment in PostScript can cause a mitre limit problem "down the road" if my design happens to get reduced —and besides I'm just not used to Illustrator being inaccurate.
Being that this is CS5.5, I'm hoping someone else that has experience this and has a fix. Perhaps there is just a menu turn off/on that I'm not aware of for this version...
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
See reference images below showing the jump distance -— its as if the two shapes have magnetically opposit polarity and they repel each other:
--Rob

Whenever installing a new version, at least review the information about new features.
Turn off the infernal Align To Pixel Grid feature.

Two JTables changing each others data

I have the following swing setup:
JPanel mainPanel with GridLayout(0, 1)
JPanel tablePanelA with BorderLayout
JPanel tablePanelB with BorderLayout
JTable tableA
JTable tableB
The tables are 2 rows by 7 columns, and are two distinct instances of a class i wrote that extends JTable. They look and act the same, but there are two seperate references. They both use JComboBoxes to allow selectable data in each of the 14 cells.
I then have:
tablePanelA.add(tableA)
tablePanelB.add(tableB)
mainPanel.add(tablePanelA)
mainPanel.add(tablePanelB)
This sets up my main panel with the two tables on it looking how I want it to look. Heres the problem. Whenever I change the data in a cell in either table, the corresponding cell in the other table changes to that same data item also. For example, if i change cell 0,4 in table A to "None", then cell 0,4 in table B will also change to "None". You only see the change on a refresh of the panel, by changing windows to and from the panel, etc. Any ideas on why my tables would be changing each others data?

Any ideas on why my
tables would be changing each others data?It sounds like you're sharing a single TableModel instance between the two tables. When one table updates the model, it fires a TableModelEvent which notifies both JTable instances to update their views.

Spry - Changing focus on each tabbed panel

Hello,
I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this.
I have been asked to modify this page, http://webpac.lvlspa.org/screens/moco_mainmenu.html , and I was wondering how I could have the focus be on the input box when a patron clicks on each tabbed panel?
Thanks for your time,
   Matt

Automatically setting the focus in a form field is normally a trivial operation. However, it's not so simple with tabbed panels because the tabs and their content are all on the same web page.
I decided to give this a try, and think that I have come up with a solution. The code is specific to your setup, which uses "targetEncore" and "searcharg" as the name of the input fields you want to have focus when a tab is clicked. Add the following script block at the bottom of the page, just before the closing </body> tag:
<script>
if (document.getElementsByClassName) {
    function findField(node) {
        var node = node || document.getElementsByClassName('TabbedPanelsContentVisible')[0];
        if (node.hasChildNodes()) {
            var child = node.firstChild;
            while (child) {
                if (child.nodeType === 1 && child.nodeName == 'INPUT') {
                    if (child.name == 'targetEncore' || child.name == "searcharg") {
                        child.focus();
                        break;
                } else {
                    findField(child);
                child = child.nextSibling;
    findField();
    var tabs = document.getElementsByClassName('TabbedPanelsTab');
    for (var i = 0; i < tabs.length; i++) {
       tabs[i].addEventListener('click', (function (num) {
            return function() {
                findField();
        })(i), false);
</script>
This script works in all modern browsers, included Internet Explorer 9. However, it does not work in IE 8 or earlier. Getting it to do so would involve a lot more scripting, so is probably not worthwhile.
Message was edited by: David_Powers to wrap script in conditional statement that tests support for document.getElementsByClassName.

Is there a way to search through pdf looking for a few words "in close proximity" to each other?

I started this question in an Adobe Reader forum, but am reposting here.
Within one pdf, I'm trying to find the locations where two words appear close to each other. The document is a manual of Structured Framemaker from Adobe. The words are "context" and "element" (I'm trying to find out what "context" means in EDD in Framemaker).
Using Advanced Search on Acrobat XI Professional, but the response is the same in Acrobat XI Reader, i.e. zero results.
Putting a comma between words doesn't change results.
Selecting either of these doesn't change results:
--Match Any of the words
--Match Exact word or phrase
Clicking on the Show More Options adds a Proximity box but I've been unable to make the box selectable (it's greyed out).
Although I'm only interested in the results of the one pdf, I was advised to select a whole folder. When I select a directory, additional options appear, but the Proximity button is still unselectable.
What turns ON the Proximity button?
Is there a way to change Acrobat default so that the More Options is always turned on?
Thanks in advance.

Proximity will become available if you're using a index (Tools > Document Processing > Full Text Index with Catalog), which you can create with Acrobat Pro for just this single document if you place it in a folder by itself. You will also have to select "match all words" or whatever the exact wording is in the advanced seach panel.

Responsive design - how do boxes go under each other

Hello,
I want to make a responsive animation, I can rescale the whole animation, but in this case the text will be very small.
I have 4 boxes next to each other, and I what I would like to do, when I resize the browser at a point the boxes would go under each other. Is there a way to do this?

Hi, Mandi-
So what you're talking about is a feature that many are calling "adaptive layout." While Animate doesn't do this natively, you might want to check out the EdgeCommons library, which will allow you to set symbols for different widths based on media queries.

2 Mac can not see each other via airdrop under the same airport/timecapsule.

I have 2 iMac in my home with a TImeCapsule (gen4).
The wifi is on both 2.4G and 5G with the same SSID.
iMac A is working on 2.4GHz, iMac B is working on 5GHz.
So they can not see each other via airdrop, meanwhile they can see each other in the left panel of Finder.app
Is it a known issue of AirDrop?

How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please? They haveBluetooth turned on but will not find each other.

How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please? They both have Bluetooth turned on but will only search and find nothing. The words 'Now Discoverable' appear under the search panel.

for the devices to find each other via Bluetooth you would need to turn on the iPhones cellular hotspot and then let them search for each other. As far as I have found this Bluetooth connection is only for connecting the iPad to internet via iPhones data plan.
To transfer photos you could setup a new photo stream and put the photos you want transferred in it. When it syncs to the iPad you can save directly to the camera roll and delete the photo stream. You may also be able to delete the photos old photos and re-add them to photo stream so it looks like they are new to the iPad.

Evaluating each other plug-in???

This forum is all about helping each other succeed in writting plug-in, but what comes after you created a great plug-in (so you think and tell your wife), but is it really what people need? Where's the green in your pocket after many sleepless nights debuging your code?
So, I wanted to start this thread for those of us who wanted to share and evaluate each other's work and finally get it out there and sell, sell, sell!!!
For starter, I just got my first plug-in online, please download and provide feed back.
Please post your plug-in here so everyone can download and test it for you.
I, my self, have time to test yours. User's oppinion matters, we are developers and users too!

Hello Vincent,
First, let me say that your marquetry work is beautiful. It's very exciting that your work in wood has led you to Ai and programming.
Just so you know who I am, my name is Brendon and I'm the lead developer at Hot Door, Inc. Our main plug-in is CADtools and has been in the market for about 15 years.
Here is my feeback:
Your site looks great and immediately makes me think that I can trust your product and that it will have cool features - which is a good thing. But, once I started to use the site, I had concerns. My first reaction was "Where's the Mac version?" I clicked the download link and unzipped the file only to find a bunch of Windows files. So, it would be nice if it was clearer on your site that this is for Win only. I know on the side it says Mac is coming soon, but I would rather have the button say "Download Windows Version" instead of just "Download." Also, why does your zip file have such a convoluted name? If I wasn't a programmer, your file name would scare me. "ArtBluePro.zip" is cool. "FILE_CFD91C-1728E8-149014-145BB4-B6CB6E-F8465A-2" is not. Next, in your description of ArtBlue Standard, it says it is the "affordable" version of ArtBlue. What, you mean that ArtBlue Pro is not affordable? That doesn't really make me think the Pro version is a good value. It would be better to describe it as full featured, then describe the Pro version as having "Even more cool stuff!" Never tell the customer that one of your products costs too much. Also, _PLEASE_ post a phone number on your site. So many companies decide to go email only for support. It frustrates users to no end. Just think how you would feel if you couldn't call someone whenever you need help. When I started Hot Door, I forwarded all calls to my cell phone and answered it at all hours, even in the middle of the night. Things change as your company matures, but if you really want this thing to get some traction, keep your customers happy by being there for them!
Now, once I downloaded the software, I was really surprised to not see CS6 or CC. I know from your other posts that you are currently looking into supporting them, but it's been a couple years now and users expect you to keep up. I know it's hard to keep up - we've been trying to keep up with Adobe for 15 years - but customers really do appreciate it. Once I had it installed, it took a few minutes for me to figure out where your panels were. I would suggest opening your panels by default. I mean the user _just_ installed your plug-in. Stick the panels right in the middle of the screen! It's easy enough for them to move where they want. At least they'll know you _have_ panels. In addition, I really could not figure out the ArtTrack panel. The icons were way too small. There's no reason to keep them that small. Your panels aren't that big and users have big screens. A couple more pixels won't hurt.
Feature wise, I think the plug-in is pretty cool. It does some neat stuff and I'm sure there are many users that will benefit from them.
And, your User Guide is great. Users really do appreciate a complete User Guide and I think it goes a long way toward making your product appear professional.
So, that's it. I think that with a couple small changes to your site and panels, you've got a really nice product.
Keep at it!

ICal Leopard: overlapping events block each other?

Hi there
If I create 2 different events for the same time and date, the event boxes block each other - they don't resize to allow me to see both events.
Is this a bug?

Hi,
I expect this is because the UID for the events are the same. Outlook ignores the UID, but iCal does not and would only allow one event with the UID.
You could verify this by opening the .ics files in a text editor.
Best wishes

TS3999 I am trying to merge my calendar with my wife's with I cloud so that we both can see each others. how do I do this

my wife and I have iPhones and separate accounts with icloud. Is there a way that we can merge them together through icloud to allow us to see each other's calender?

It is very difficult to do this if you want it to look a bit convincing, but if you don't want something very realistic but just to do it for fun it may be doable.
What you want is to put one clip atop the other and use a mask.
If you use a still image of your baby and your moving lips do not move a lot within the frame, this looks possible and not too difficult.
Apply the "Vignette Mask" to your clip and adjust its size, position an fallof parameters so that the vignette captures just your mouth. And use the Transform tool to resize and position over your baby's mouth.
You may end up with something a little better than this quick and dirty example I just made :-)
Edit: just after I posted I realized that Karsten beat me :-)

HP 2000 Notebook PC -- Extended display monitor and built-in screen swapping with each other.

I have an extended display monitor connected to my notebook and every so often without any warning the displays will flicker to black screens, and then quickly swap back and forth with each other 2 - 3 times, usually resuming the way it began. Entire event lasts maybe 10 - 15 seconds total but during that time I have no control of my PC. Anyone know how to stop this from occuring or what is causing it to happen? Thanks for any assistance with this issue .
HP 2000 Notebook PC - Product # : D1E80UA#ABA - AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics Windows 8.1 64-bit system.

I'll try helping,
If the flickering is seen in the extended display
I think the issue may be with driver then,
First
Uninstall the AMD graphic driver from Device manager - Display adapter , Control panel.
shut down laptop
then try a hard reset
this might help you in that-
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01684768&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
then,
Tap away at the ESC key as you power on the notebook again to launch the Start-up Menu and then select F10 to enter the bios menu.
Press F5 to load the defaults (sometimes F9, the menu at the bottom will show the correct key )
use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Press F10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - just let this complete.
Then,
download, saving & install the latest AMD HD Driver from your product website here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5360...
Restart the system
Check the issue.
