Revolution Main Screen Gradient Mask

I'm authoring a DVD in iDVD 7.1.2 (latest version with iLife '11). I want to use the Revolution Theme with an image in the overall screen behind the chapter buttons. Unfortunately for me, the theme has a black gradient mask over the screen and the image that I inserted is extremely dark. Is there some way to edit the details of the Revolution Main screen?
Thanks,
Dave

There's a menu title which is the rotating text. Change it and the rotating text will change.

Drawing artifacts with motion under a gradient mask

Hello,
I am having an issue with using a motion under a gradient mask and was hoping someone might have a solution. I have a transparent png bubble in movie clips that are being randomly sized and animation started using code. The design has a reflection and I am using a gradient mask for the effect. The issue is when the bubbles animate they are causing drawing artifacts. Please see the attached screen shot or you can see the swf here - http://archetypeworks.com/test/tm/. Below is the code I am using to set the mask. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Code:
bottomMask.cacheAsBitmap = true;
beaker_bottom.cacheAsBitmap = true;
beaker_bottom.mask = bottomMask;
Thank you,
Ococ

Thank you for the suggestion, but that did not work. I also tried breaking apart the png, using the magic wand to select and delete the transparent areas. Still getting the same issue.

Getting rid of "revolution main" in theme, Getting rid of "revolution main" in theme

I've moved a slide show from iPhoto into iDVD and all is well, except the rotating sign "Revolution Main" on the start screen. How can I get it to show the title of the slideshow?
Thanks

Thanks for the help, but there is no such text box. I deleted it when I created my own title in another box. I deleted the plist preferences for iDVD, and, by highlighting the theme in the right hand window and applying a reset in a pull down window, I eliminated the "Revolution Main" rotating text. In fact all I got was a series of vertical bars rotating where the text used to be. Figuring I had at least a partial victory, I tried to burn a DVD of the slideshow - no dice. So I reverted to the old "Revolution Main" text and successfully burned a DVD.
Case closed for now. I'll take up the battle again at a later date.
Again, many thanks.

Flash gradient mask problem

Having a bad day everything i do doesn't work today... I am trying to create a gradient mask but because its not on the main timeline also its in a nested swf, just can't get it working, this is what I was using and tried it with _parent.(instanceName) and _root
clip.cacheAsBitmap = true;
mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;
clip.setMask("mask");
Any ideas
Rich

mask shouldn't be in quotes.
if removing the quotes doesn't solve your problem what's the following show:
clip.cacheAsBitmap = true;
mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;
clip.setMask(mask);
trace(clip);
trace(mask);

Why my gradient mask at home renders smooth, but is clipped at work?

I created a number of gradient masks applied to images with a basic 100 to 0 black gradient, on my Mac at home. They look smooth in Illustrator, and rendered smooth both as a PDF and exported to a PNG.
Gradient Mask from my Mac at home:
But when I open the same illustrator document on my Mac at work the gradation of the mask is clipping. So instead of a smooth transition there's now a hard line.
Gradient Mask on my Mac at work:
This is the same file, opened on different Macs. Both identical versions of Illustrator CS6, identical color settings, identical color profiles.
The main differences are my Mac at home is a 2009 MacPro running OS 10.9, and my Mac at work is a 2008 MacPro running OS 10.8.
I've created and recreated gradient masks over and over again, and I cannot get a smooth transparency gradient mask at all on my Mac at work.
This presented a problem, as the client had to have last minute revisions when I was at work, and could not produce a smooth image, I was forced to deliver the final graphic with clipped gradient masks.

So deleting preferences didn't fix it. I even rasterized the gradient to see if an image mask would work better, that didn't work. Then I toggled "invert mask." I was suprised to see that once I inverted the mask (which reversed the gradient), the transparency was smooth from 0 to 100.
So I've figured out a work around for the problem, but it's still not resolved.
Invert gradient mask
Rotate gradient mask 180°
Adjust gradient mask break points to accomidate reversal
Here's the result:
Now if someone can explain to me why a gradient mask doesn't work in one direction, but it does when it's inverted.

How can I move pictures from Finder to a folder on my main screen?

I'm trying to put a bunch of photos that are currently in Finder into a folder on my main screen so I can drag them easily onto photo printing sites. How do I do that?
Thanks!

Thanks! But I have like 100 pictures………is there a way to do them as a group instead of individually? I also want them in some sort of folder not just 100 individual photos all over the main screen. Is there a way to create that?

Printing a graphic with a gradient mask in Flex 3-problem

Hello, I am fairly new to flex development. I am puting together a little program that allows the user to upload a picture add a vignette mask in order to achieve a soft edge, and have a problem I cannot find an answer anywhere, maybe someone could help me please.
I want to print a the user photo with a gradient mask or vignette from flex. I managed to show the image correctly on screeen with the gradient mask using this class but the output to paper is a rectangle without the soft mask.
//package to add the mask for display
package com.dm.graphics
   import flash.display.Graphics;
   import mx.containers.Canvas;
   import flash.display.GradientType;
   public class FrameBorderSoft extends Canvas
      override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void
         super.updateDisplayList(w,h);
         var g:Graphics = this.graphics;
         g.clear();
         g.beginGradientFill(GradientType.RADIAL, [0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000],
         [1,1,0.8,0],
         [1,128,195,255],
         horizontalGradientMatrix(0,0,w,h) );
         g.drawRect(0,0,w,h);
         g.endFill();
It works beautifully until I try to print the graphic. The image prints but without the gradient edges (soft) instead it is just a sharp edge rectangle.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Here is my print function:
private function doPrint():void {
                // Create an instance of the FlexPrintJob class.
                var myPrintJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
                // Start the print job.
                if (myPrintJob.start() != true) return;
                // Add the object to print. Do not scale it.
                if (tabnavigator1.selectedChild == img1) {
           //switchcolor is a variable to detect if the user changed the background to white or clear.
                         switchcolor = 100;
                      //printCF is the card front container with the photo masked
                   myPrintJob.addObject(printCF, FlexPrintJobScaleType.NONE);
                   myPrintJob.printAsBitmap = false;
                } else if (tabnavigator1.selectedChild == img1b) {
                   switchcolor = 100;
                   myPrintJob.addObject(printCB, FlexPrintJobScaleType.NONE);
I hope this helps to visualize,
I would greatly appreciate any assistance or advise.

Hello, back on my issue, i tested a little bit more the message dispaching.
I read the lazyLoadPolicy class and noticed that it always has to have a ModuleId property in the message to work, that's why the broadcast message didn't work to awake the module with the lazy loading policy.
So i added copy of my module:
     <cairngorm:ParsleyModuleDescriptor objectId="test"
          url="TestModule.swf"
          applicationDomain="{ClassInfo.currentDomain}"
     />
     <cairngorm:ParsleyModuleDescriptor objectId="testbis"
          url="TestModuleBis.swf"
          applicationDomain="{ClassInfo.currentDomain}"
     />
Set them both with a basicLoadPolicy, and tries to dispatch a message to only one of them using the ModuleId metatag. I then noticed that both modules received the message and not only the one i expected.
I then changed the ModuleMessageInterceptor configuration to dispatch to only one kind of module:
<cairngorm:ModuleMessageInterceptor type="{ OpenViewMessage }" moduleRef="test"/>
and this worked as expected. Only the first module catched the message. I am obiously messing with the ModuleId metatag but i cannot see what's wrong...
I compiled with
-keep-as3-metadata+=ModuleId
but this hasn't changed anything...

I have updated Firefox to 8.0.1 but the main screen still says " You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!" What is the problem?

I downloaded Firefox Setup 8.0.1.exe from the website to my desktop and opened it as an administrator. The available choice (once opened) was to upgrade. When the process was complete my version of Firefox was identified as 8.0.1 but the main screen still said - "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!"

This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side. E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the monitor. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the monitor and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the monitor your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

How do I get a "PLAY ALL" button on the main screen for iDVD?

I spent a lot of time creating a DVD with pictures and music, and the main screen when I play the DVD shows all of the different scenes, but when I click on one of the scenes, it won't continue to the next one. I have to individually plan every scene in order to watch the whole DVD, rather than just clicking on the first scene and letting it play through. How do I make it so that I can either create another button that will play the whole DVD through or make it so that it continues to the next scene after the previous one is finished??

You can't create a 'play all' button with iDVD. All your separate scenes are separate movies as far as iDVD is concerned. You need to assemble all you separate scenes into one movie in iMovie and then insert chapter markers if you want separate entry points.
Apple's pro DVDSP does let you link movies to obtain a play all function.

Hiding a Complete Subscreen in a main Screen

HI All,
I have a req in which there is 5 subscreens present in one main screen. My issue is i want to hide a complete Subscreen based on 1checkbox present in that mainscreen itself.
After checking that checkbox user will be pressing ENTER. After that i need to hide some of the subscreens.
Thanks in advance,
Shyam

HI,
You can check for the subscreen_area that you use to put the subscreen and in the PBO of the main screen you can avoid calling this subscreen or you can hide the subscreen area by making SCREEN-ACTIVE=0 for the subscreen area.
For the check box you can set some fcode and in the PAI you can set some global flag which you need to check in PBO and then deactive the subscreen area.
PAI module.
if ok_code is <your check box>.
if check_box = 'X'.
global_flag = 'X'.
else.
clear global_flag.
endif.
PBO Module.
if global_flag = 'X'.
loop at screen.
if screen-name = 'SUBSCREEN_AREA'.
screen-active= 0.
modify screen.
endloop.
endif.
Regards,
Sesh
