Secret menu in AE CS5?

Hi,
I'm missing the good'ol secret menu in CS5 with the ability to purge my renderings after a certain amount of frames?
Is it still there? Somewhere?

Why is it considered a bug? I have been rendering 300 frame 32bit projects with 18 gb ram and have to wait an annoyingly long time for the project to close so I can load a new project. The secret menu allows me to set the frames maintained to a number that will let AE5 close the project and open a new project in a reasonable amount of time. Please don't get rid of it.

What font is used for the menu of Illustrator CS5?
I know how to change the default font, which is used to input characters.
But, I do not know how to check the font used in the menu.
Is it the font that is described in the following files?

Font in menu bar in CS5

The font is very light on the menu bar in CS5. However Bridge in CS5 is bold and easy to read (as is the menu in PS CS3). How do I adjust the appearance of the menu bar?
I would also like the gray color on the menu bar and tool bar and in the background of a picture to be lighter. In Bridge CS5 I can lighten the background to pictures and I would like this in Photoshop CS5.
Many thanks for help and suggestions.

Marilynn,
Hopefully, you will not have to go far down this general list.
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Drop-down menu in Dreamweaver CS5.5 not displaying

Thanks for anyone's help. I'm a first time user of the forum so please excuse any protocol errors.
I can't get my drop-down menu to display on my web page (http://www.cglcontracting.com/) on a Windows platform using Dreamweaver CS5.5.
Thanks very much for any advice/help.

Hi again -
My previous suggestion did not seem to make any difference, the CSS still did not validate.
I seems to be choking on your Browser Hack section.

I re-wrote the bottom Browser Hack section and it now validates.
I'll paste the whole CSS file here, Save it as "SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" and give it a try.

Where is the "Effects" menu in FW CS5?

I'm trying to create a NavBar in Fireworks CS5 and I'm following along an Adobe Document describing how to do this... However the step I'm on in the tutorial is saying select "Effects -> Bevel" and I can't find it anywhere...
Did this get moved or removed? How do I accomplish this?
Thanks In Advance!

I'm not sure about CS5, but I've always added effects via the Properties Inspector (at the bottom right).
These options may not appear if you're using a Bitmap tool; try the Pointer tool instead, and make sure that an object has been selected. (You can confirm this by looking in the Layers panel.) Then click on the "+" icon to access the dropdown menu of Effects (a.k.a. "live filters").
Otherwise, you can apply the same basic effects via the Filters menu (at the top of the interface); but those versions are for bitmaps only and are uneditable once applied.
Hope this helps!

Missing Spry Menu Tab on CS5 using an iMac (only 2 computers cannot see it)

I am using Dreamweaver CS5 on iMacs in my classroom. Two students are not able to see the blue Spry Menu Bar tab. Is there something that needs to be selected in order for them to see it? I thought maybe they missed a step so we followed our book and recreated the Menu Bar on another page. Once the menu bar is complete and you click off, the blue Spry Menu Tab is not available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
even if there are only two students with these problems, you should follow Ken's hint. One of my most important arguments: "Spry doesn't work correctly on touch screens!" Please try it, you will have a nasty surprise!
And here I quote from different contributions of the forum:
"Spry has been deprecated and is no longer officially supported by Adobe", “Adobe abandoned Spry late last year after CS6 came out. Future products will probably not contain any Spry so learning to use jQuery is a valuable skill to have for the future. We/I recommend you switch to a jQuery library for your further requirements."

Spry 2 Menu in DW CS5

There are two questions for the Spry Menu 2 version.
1) Do I have to make all menu title and link changes in code? With the regular Spry menu that comes with DW CS5 you can make the changes, and add links to menu items, in the "Design > Properties" window. I would sure like to be able to do that, rather than go to the strictly "code" view and work in there.
2) With the Spry 2 menu at the top ( see www.Aloe-Vera.org/test.htm ) I am unable to go into "Design" view for the page to make changes in the content of the page itself.
Are there any fixes so that I can view and edit the rest of the page in DW CS5 "Design" view?
Thanks, David

1. It is true you cannot use the Properties window. You can use the code view or the Widget Browser to make edits. The Widget Browser has a GUI if you feel more comfortable with that.
2. You should be able to make some changes in Design View, but unfortunately the GUI and clean layout in Design View is gone. Best suggestion I can give you here is to file a bug report/feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . I have before with this because I agree it helps newer users and compared to commercial alternatives like those from Project Seven it falls short everytime.

Why can't I hide the menu in Flash CS5 projector files?

I'm making some executable / projector files in Flash CS5. Using CS4 I was able to stop the menu appearing by using flash.system.fscommand("showmenu", "false");
It doesn't work in CS5. Is it a bug? Or a feature? It's incredibly annoying - how do I get rid of the menu without resorting to an external projector program or without having to use AIR?

You can't get rid of the RH menus because [I believe] Adobe deemed it necessary to have the Flash version as well as security options and global settings in there for users at all times. At best you can minimize the listings on the right-click menu:
var rightClickMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
rightClickMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
_root.menu = rightClickMenu;
You can also get rid of the top menu using Resource Hacker, but the right-click menu stays, even if you delete the resource from the .exe file.

CSS Menu Maker Dreamweaver CS5

Hi folks,
Newb to Dreamweaver CS5 & CSS (yay!) I've read the online tutorials and quite frankly, I'm about ready to smash my head against my desk. This is very confusing. I haven't made any progress with my web site....unless staring at a white screen mocking me is progress.
I got some good feedback from a few users in my first post (this is my 2nd post) for which I'm very greatful btw and figured out that frames aren't the way to go. CSS confused the heck out of me, so I did some research and stumbled upon a website : http://www.cssmenumaker.com
I was able to create & download a horizontal CSS menu that looks very appealing. Problem is, I can't seem to get it to work using Dreamweaver CS5. Perhaps somebody can help me. (God how I hope somebody can help me!)
For starters, I've created a "site" in Dreamweaver CS5. The site in Dreamweaver CS5 connects successfully to my hosting server. The directory structure on my hard drive that holds my files is :
C:\HTML
C:\HTML\images (where I keep any images used for my site)
C:\HTML\menu (this was produced by the CSS menumaker website - has a CSS file in it & an "images" subdirectory within)
Below are the instructions that were included when I unzipped the cssmenumaker's zip file :
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) Upload the "Menu" folder to the root directory of your website.
2) Copy and paste the code below to the desired spot in your site.
<head>
     <link rel="stylesheet" href="/menu/menu_style.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<div class="menu bubplastic horizontal aqua">
     <ul>
         <li class="highlight"><span class="menu_r"><a href="index.html" target="_self"><span class="menu_ar">Home</span></a></span></li>
         <li><span class="menu_r"><a href="products-services" target="_self"><span class="menu_ar">Products/Services</span></a></span></li>
         <li><span class="menu_r"><a href="faq" target="_self"><span class="menu_ar">FAQs</span></a></span></li>
         <li><span class="menu_r"><a href="contactus" target="_self"><span class="menu_ar">Contact Us</span></a></span></li>
     </ul>
     <br class="clearit" />
</div>
NOTE:
1) Open the "sample.html" to view a sample of your menu.DO NOT use this code in your site.
2) If you run into a problem getting your menu to work or have suggestions for the site please Contact Us and let us know. We will try to help as much as possible.
Can somebody walk me through this step by step? I thought it was fairly simple but obviously I'm doing something wrong.

John,
As I mentioned in my first post I've been through the tutorials already. I just can't seem to get this to work. Working off what I told you in my first post, assume you're working with a blank index.html and you enter in the CSS Menu Maker's code to the blank html file.
The HTML code should look like this, should it not ? :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/menu/menu_style.css" type="text/css" />
</head>

How do I change vertical menu to a horizontal menu in Dreamweaver CS5?

Doing a website (my first) for a friend of mine. Followed the Adobe tutorial for a lot of it (with Paul Trani) and have everything done but now my friend wants the menu bar to be horizontal instead of vertical. (I have other questions but this is the big one for now) I do have a CSS file that is linked to all 4 pages. I have hunted and searched to no avail. The page started out as a template (2 column fixed, left sidebar, header and footer). I am hoping I just have to paste some code into it and have found a few suggestions on the web but nothing seems to work. I did get it to the point with a list with no bullets with no background but can't get it to go horizontal. Then code started showing up on my design page and I gave up and turned to this forum. I would hate to start over. I do not even see a template that has a horizontal menu on it for one of the choices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you are confused about how to differentiate between horizontal navigation and vertical navigation.
In HTML, both are exactly the same. You use a list. So both will be just like you describe them:
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Link one</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link two</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link three</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link four</a></li>
</ul>
Now, there's your navigation. Done. So how do we do an horizontal nav? Well we tell web browsers to format our HTML code in a style sheet, called a Cascading Style Sheet, or CSS. So let's give the <ul> a tag that tells the browser that it's not just a simple unordered list; it's special and has to be set up a certain way:
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="#">Link one</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link two</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link three</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link four</a></li>
</ul>
Now, let's go to our style sheet and create the style for the id "nav." And remember, anything with an ID on a web page must occur only once. If you're going to have several "nav" tags on your page, you have to make a class. The difference (in CSS) between a class and an id is the use of a hash "#" for an id and a dot "." for a class.
So here's the CSS for the horizontal navigation:
#nav {
          width: 100%;
          float: left;
          margin: 0 0 3em 0;
          padding: 0;
          list-style: none;
          background-color: #f2f2f2;
          border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
          border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
#nav li {
          float: left;
#nav li a {
          display: block;
          padding: 8px 15px;
          text-decoration: none;
          font-weight: bold;
          color: #069;
          border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
#nav li a:hover {
          color: #c00;
          background-color: #fff;
Here you're floating both the list and the list items left. Floating the list items left is what pulls them into a nice horizontal row, stacking the items from left to right. However, because of how floats behave, the containing list will collapse to a height of zero unless it is also floated left.
And that wouldn’t be a major problem, except the list has a background color and if the list collapses, that background color won't show. This way, it’ll fill up the entire width of the page (or of its container, if it’s in a container with a width set).
Additionally, the only margin you see will be the bottom one, so the list items will make their own margins and behave themselves. The list-style is set to “none,” which removes the bullets.
Now all navigation will certainly be a link, so I style the list items that are links (#nav li a) with padding that will space them out, get rid of the default underline, setting the text decoration to none, making them bold and creating a thin right border. Then I change the color on the nav for a hover.
Now, vertical is the default for a list.
Here's the difference:
You keep list-style: none;
You get rid of your floats.
You get rid of the 100% width, unless you have it corralled in a containing div, like a left or right sidebar.
Boom! you're done.

Horizontal menu bar in cs5

Im fairly new to dreamweaver, and im trying to make a horizontal menu bar with rollover images. Every tutorial I have found online tells me how to make a spry menu bar, or just a rollover image. I know how to do both now, but nobody can seem to tell me how I can customize the spry menu bar with rollover images. So can anyone help me? or is that not even possible? Thanks anyway!

@John
Sorry John, I did not mean real rollover images, only so called rollovers. What I have in mind is an image that changes when the state of the menu item changes as can be seen in the following

Windows 7 start menu crashes InDesign CS5

If I check the Windows 7 option to "Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and on the taskbar" InDesign crashes the next time it opens. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Thanks Bob. I am trying to figure out why this crashes my system. One thing I discovered is InDesign doesn't like to open on my second monitor. I have moved it to my primary monitor and that has fixed some of the issues but not all of them. I have even had problems with InDesign crashing when I try to open a file from Bridge.

Background and pop up menu in ENCORE CS5

Hi everybody,
I have a problem.
I try to create a pop up BD menu from a preset found in Encore (cloud pop up menu)
If I change writtings on buttons, some red collision square appears.
Then, using photoshop I take all the backgrounds of all buttons to make an unique background image.
Now if i use this image as an object it disappears.
like this
If I use it as a button the red squares appear.
like this
The question is this.
How can I use a background for pop up menus?
thanks
I apologize for my english

The red squares are showing you that there are buttons that are overlapping. With the Marquee Tool (m) on Photoshop just select the part you want for the button from your background and then right click & select Layer via Cut and then put the new layer you made into the folder that belongs to that button. You can put a background on any pop-up menu but you have to cut it into pieces and put them in the folders of the buttons, and also make sure that they are not overlapping.
Here are some pictures I did for my pop-up menu (it has 8 pages with around 9 buttons each page & with each button with a background):
Also here is a link of a blu-ray I did with this pop-up menu: http://youtu.be/pEjKmIYM_8I

Why can't I select a layer in a Menu in Encore CS5?

I have a very simple project - a movie file and a very simple Photoshop menu with a couple of layers in it. On one of my edit machines, it is a simple matter to select the menu and then select the appropriate layer and turn it into a button. No hassle. On my other edit machine, when the same menu is selected, the layers show up, but nothing can be selected to turn that layer into a button. What am I missing? The same files are being used on both machines.

>Which video drivers to update as a possibility?
The one for your hardware... usually ATI or nVidia
Go directly to the vendor web sites
In case something doesn't work for something like this, I always make a full backup for an easy restore
Hardware crashes or virus infections or simple software problems happen, so you should buy AND USE software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

CS4 menu resources in CS5

Just realized that I need some template resource from cs4 in cs5. Most if not all these sample CS5 resources are totally different from the earlier ones. So whats the best way to move them over so I don't have to completely rebuild some of my older projects.

Apparently has more to do with installing the trial version first and then the upgrade. I hadn't noticed the problem at first until I uninstalled Encore CS4. I did that because I was occassionally launching it by mistake and it doesn't understand Premiere CS5 sequences. I reinstalled the cs4 version and saved its resources (still not sure how I would move them to cs5). I then uninstalled all of CS4 and found it had screwed up a view windows refrences, e.g. didn't know that clicking on a prprj whould open PP CS5. I then uninstalled cs5, had two sets to uninstall as apparently the trial setup some of the files while the CS5 upgrade set up another set. Then reinstalled CS5 from the upgrade disk and found that the Encore Library now had all the resources that I had been missing before.
