Semi-transparent box that can execute php commands?

I am trying to find out if it is possible to a) create a semi transparent box in flash, b) motion tween that box into place, c) subsequently use it to run forms and PHP scripts (connect to a MySQL instance, ect).
I know that an exact answer to c) will be long and complex, so a simple (general) yes or no will suffice... but if someone could point me in more detailed direction with a) and b), I would greatly apreciate it!
Any responses are very much apreciated!!! If you need to see the actual project I'm working on, or if I need to clarify my questions, please let me know.

a) yes
b) yes
c) yes
Instead of long and complex, how about we make it fun and easy.

  • Exporting text with a semi transparent background that can be changed in PS or PP?

    I'm creating a logo with a semi transparent background that I want to place on top of photos in Photoshop and videos in Premiere.
    1. I do not see a transparent option when exporting as a .tiff. Is transparent .png my only option from AI?
    2. I will need different amounts of transparency for the background depending on the image or video it is being placed on. Is there a way to export this and still have control in Photoshop or Premiere of the amount of transparency to apply towards the background?
    Thanks!

    1. So you are suggesting to just copy from AI and paste into PS?
    2. Since the logo is text and the background is a rectangular shape, I need to make sure that I can lower the opacity in PS or PP independently of the text. I will have to do a test later, I do not have the file on this computer.
    Thanks.

  • What to do, what to do...InDesign - Drop shadow adds semi-transparent box in PDF

    I am having an issue when I add a drop shadow to an object. It looks fine in the InDesign file, but once I export it to PDF (high res - (low res looks fine)), around the object yes there is the shadow, but also there is a semi transparent box. I don't know how to remove that. I've been looking at the preferences but don't understand why that happens. I printed it out and the box comes out. Please Help!!! Thanks

  • How servlet can execute a command?

    Hi
    I need help on following:
    1- How Servlet can execute a command?
    2- I that possible a servlet instantiates an applet or frame?
    Would apreciate any command(prefered sample code) on this.
    Thanks...Ali

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by an applet based application either... . but as I mentioned in the previous post, you could send such a page back to the client that contains an applet tag; which will subsequently display an applet on the client machiene.... and applets can comunicate to any and all servlets residing on the machiene from where they were downloaded with out any problem....
    Have a look into Http-tunneling....
    hope this helps

  • Is there a way to either run a "Score" thing in Keynote, or a text box that can be typed in during the presentation?

    Is there a way to either run a "Score" thing in Keynote, or a text box that can be typed in during the presentation?

    Keynote does not have this function.
    The only way to do this is to use an annotation application. Google and find the cost and functionality you need, many have trial downloads.

  • How to create a check box that can be unchecked

    How do I create check boxes that can be checked and the unchecked in Forms Central?
    For example, if you accidentally check a box - you want to uncheck it. Right now it doesn't allow you to do that.
    please help.
    Thanks
    Gen

    Are you sure you're not using radio buttons? Check boxes behave the way you'd expect for me with a form generated by FormsCentral.
    I'm going to move this to the FormsCentral form since the team there may want to take a look at the form.

  • HOW do I add a floating box that can be "X"-ed off

    I was recently on a site where (must have been on a timmer) the site dimmed and a box floated in from the left with an announcement.  the box had a large "X" in the corner so it could be dismissed.  After dismissed it floated back in after some time.
    I want to add this to my site as an announcement of montly specials.   I am very new to web design so I dont even know what this effect would be called??
    I designed my site in Dreamweaver CS6.
    THANKS!

    You could do this yourself with jQuery delay & animate. See example below:

    If you think your to small to make a differnce, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room...

    If you wanted the pings to run in parallel, you could have this applet configure another applet to do the pinging, then remove it on the last run.  This will require an amount of programmatic logic, though.  If you wanted to keep things a bit simpler, add another applet that runs at 22:00 that configures a watchdog pinging applet, then a third applet that runs at 22:10 that removes the pinging applet.
    When it comes to embedded quotes when you configure your nested pinging applet, you'll need to use $q to stand for the embedded quotes.  You'll also need to configure:
    event manager environment q "

  • Having a JPanel 'float' semi-transparently over another component

    I am a programmer of a java project for our company.
    Managemnt decided that when a certain event happens, we need to 'semi-disable' a certain text area (in a JScrollPane), and have a floating message with a progress bar on top of this text area, but be semi-transparent, so you can still read the text under it.
    (Basically, they want it to look like a html page with a floating, semi-transparent DIV, because that is how another group mocked it up).
    I am trying to implement this, but am running into problems.
    Here is what I have, below I'll tell you what is wrong with it.
         * The purpose of this class is to have a scroll pane that can have it's contents partially covered by another panel
         * while still being able to read both the original panel and the new covering content, and still being able to scroll
         *the content under the covering panel.
        public class JOverlayScrollPane extends JScrollPane{
            private JPanel overlay = null;
            private Insets overlayInsets = null;
            private java.awt.AlphaComposite blend = AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, 0.50f);
            private ComponentAdapter cl = null;
            public void setOverlay(JPanel pan, Insets inset){
                overlay = pan;
                overlayInsets = inset;
                if(cl != null){
                    cl = new ComponentAdapter(){
                        public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e){
                            resizeOverlay();
                resizeOverlay();
                repaint();
            public void paint(Graphics g){
                super.paint(g);
                if(g instanceof Graphics2D && overlay !=null){
                    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
    //                g2.setComposite(blend);
                    //overlay.paint(g2);
                    paintStuff(g,overlay);
            private void resizeOverlay(){
                if(overlay != null){
                    Dimension size = getSize();
                    int x = 0;
                    int y = 0;
                    if(overlayInsets !=null){
                        x = overlayInsets.left;
                        y = overlayInsets.top;
                        size.width = size.width - overlayInsets.left - overlayInsets.right;
                        size.height = size.height - overlayInsets.top - overlayInsets.bottom;
                    overlay.reshape(x,y, size.width, size.height);
                    overlay.doLayout();
                    overlay.validate();
            private void paintStuff(Graphics g,Component c){
                if(c != null){
                    c.paint(g);
                    if(c instanceof Container){
                        Container cont = (Container)c;
                        for(int i=0;i<cont.getComponentCount();i++){
                            Component cc = cont.getComponent(i);
                            paintStuff(g,cc);
        }//end of overlay scroll pane(I am having problems, so for now, the alpha blend is commented out).
    The first version didn't have the paintStuff() method (it just called paint). This just drew a big grey box, now of the sub-components of the passed in JPanel were drawing. I added the do layout and validate calls, without success.
    Then I added the paintStuff call, and all the subcomponents now, draw, but they all draw at 0,0.
    Questions
    1. Is the the correct approach to do this, or sould I be playing with the glass pane or some other approach?
    2. It seems that the overlay panel isn't being layed out / doens't paint it's children correctly. Is this because it isn't really part of the layout (i.e. it has no parent / is never added to a container) or am I just missing a step in 'faking' adding it to a layout?
    3. I'm sure I could just override paint and paint my own stuff (hand draw the text and a progress bar), but I would really like to put everything on one JPanel as what we want to display my be different in the future. I know that I manually ahve to call repaint on this scrollpane if one of the components on the overlay JPanel change in appearence (the progress bar especailly), and that they won't get events (I don't care about this as they are all non-interactive for now). Is this a viable approach, or is there a better way to do this?
    Thanks

    Wow, good answer.

  • Code to make area semi transparent?

    Is there a way to modify the following background color code to make my background color semi-transparent so that an image in the background shows through?
    Thanks.
    #logo {
    background-image: url(img/logo.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 1100px;

    Have you got Fireworks?
    If so open a new file and make the documents background color transparent.
    Draw a small square and color it in with a solid colour which is in the same shade range as the color you want the final background of the #logo <div>.
    Select the solid color and use the transparent box in the properties inspector to adjust the colour to suit. It may be best if you bring in your image and position it behind the colored square so you can see what the color looks like when you adjust the transparency of the color.
    Once you have adjusted it to the color required delete the image and then export a small 1px x 1px piece of the colored square. Use PNG8 with alpha transparency or PNG24.
    Use the colored square as the background image to the logo <div> instead of the logo image itself and insert the logo image directly into the logo <div>

  • Execute the command "arp -a" and save the list of ip & MAC adresses

    Hey all ,
    I was looking for a code where i can execute the command "arp -a" in CMD to get a list of all MAC and ip adresses
    connected on the network and save them for further use is this possible or not .. please if possible if any 1 can supply me with the code i would be grateful ... thnks for ur time
    Best Regards,
    MIG()ZZZZ

    the list of ip and mac of connected computers to the networkThere really isn't a way of doing this because in TCP/IP 'connected' doesn't have a well-defined meaning, so there is no such thing as 'the list' either. If it's a Windows LAN you might find something in Samba that will do it, I don't know.
    What's it all for? There are also IP broadcast and multicast facilities, could be what you're really looking for.
