Stacking Order of Elements

Hey All!
I'm enjoying our recent move to Cap. 2, lot's of great new
features. I've run into a bit of an oddity and am planning to
submit a bug report, but wanted to toss it out here first.
Here is what I am doing and experiencing:
1. Record a demonstration project.
2. Highlight an area of the project and select Fill Outer
Area check box.
3. Insert a text caption, and set the text caption to be
above the highlight in stacking order on the timeline (so the text
caption is not grayed out by the outer fill).
4. Set the highlight and caption to fade in only.
5. Copy the highlight and text caption and paste them on the
next slide (there is typing happening on both slides and I am
highlighting the set of fields being completed).
6. Ensure the text caption is still on top of the stacking
order in the timline.
7. Set the highlight and caption on slide 2 to fade out only.
The slides are set to stream with no transitions or user
interaction.
When I preview or publish slide 1 works as expected -
highlighted area with rest of background greyed out and text
caption on top of the outer fill. When it gets to slide 2 the text
falls behind the outer fill and is greyed out like the background.
Workaround:
I have found that all is good if I duplicate the text caption
on slide 2 and delete the one I originally pasted in. It isn't a
big pain, but it is a waste of effort after working through several
of these.
I'll be submitting a bug report and wanted to share the fix I
found. Any other ideas?
Rory

I just realized one error in my steps above.
In step 3 above I say to set the text caption above - I just
realized to make what I describe happen have the text caption below
the highlight initially. So the steps should be...
1. Record a demonstration project.
2. Insert a text caption.
3. Highlight an area of the project and select Fill Outer
Area check box. (At this point the highlight will be above the text
caption in the timeline).
4. Set the highlight and caption to fade in only.
5. Copy the highlight and text caption and paste them on the
next slide (there is typing happening on both slides and I am
highlighting the set of fields being completed).
6. Set the highlight and caption on slide 2 to fade out only.
7. Realize you have the stacking order wrong and fix it on
both slides - move the text caption above the highlight in the
timeline in both slides.
Preview and watch the text caption be on top on slide 1 but
not on slide 2.
Hope this makes sense...

Stacking order on PrEl 9 not working

I am trying to change the stacking order on simultaneous multiple video tracks. I have two tracks on the screen, I select one from the timeline and then right click on it in the monitor panel -- the option of Title>Arrange doesn't come up. When I go to the options bar at the top of the page and click Title>Arrange, it will not let me select it. In the help topics, PrEl 7 & 8 are covered with these instructions, but 9 is not. Any ideas? Thanks a million if you can solve this! -JD

As Steve points out, the "stacking order," or Arrangement is only available for elements in a Title, like Shapes, or Text.
To change the "stacking order" of elements such as Clips, Still Images, or Titles, they can be Selected, and then dragged to higher (or lower) Video Tracks, that are empty.
Hope that helps, and good luck,
Hunt

How do I use the z parameter instead of component's stack order for layout?

Hi,
In my current project I am already using the cool new 3D properties (z/rotationX/rotationY/rotationZ) of the Flex 4 SDK. It really makes fun playing
around with them, but it is actually pretty annoying that elements that ought to be postioned on top of each other with different z-values are displayed according to their stack order (the positon with respect to to their DisplayObject-siblings). This leads to the non-realistic appearance of objects that should be positioned in the back of the scene right on top of everything else.
The only solution for this problem is to manually set the z-order in which I want the objects to appear on the screen by using the removeChild()/addChild() methods of the parent-container. This is not only annoying but quite expensive and additionally non-dynamic.
Is there any means to make a container use its children's position in space for layout instead of its "z-stack"? If not, I would consider this as a bug, at least when it comes to 3D placement of objects.
Thank's for any hints and best regards,
Manuel Fittko

If you are running the broker as a Window's service then
jmqsvcadmin install -jrehome (or -javahome) is the correct
way to specify an alternate JRE. If you are running the broker
directly on the command line then you can use -jrehome directly
with the jmqbroker command.

[CS5.5] issue with stacking order on spreads when pages change

Have recently had a situation where items on a right hand page have "disappeared" behind an item placed over the reader's spread in a layout using facing pages.
For example,
this spread has 3 elements: an item of type per page, both brought to front; and a green background sent to back. all fine so far.
i have then deleted the last two pages from the file... still going great guns...
i then delete the first two pages from the file... then the preverbial hits the fan.
the type on page two is gone! oh no!!! the reality is that the type is now BEHIND the green background.
I am aware that had the green background been split in two at the spine, the result would be this:
but it's too late now.
has anyone else experienced this phenomenon and is it safe to call this a "bug"? anyone wanting to attempt the following steps can download a PDF containing the indesign file as an attachment within the pdf from this url: http://colecandoo.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/spreadfail.pdf
colly

Although the green block is, for practical purposes, on both pages, to InDesign, it's really only assigned to the left page of the spread. For example, if you start with this:
…which has a green box in the background, spanning both pages of each spread, and yellow boxes on odd pages and magenta boxes on odds…
…and you delete page one, you get this:
…where the yellow and magenta boxes have switched sides, but notice that the green box that had been across both pages is now only on the odd pages. That's because the green boxes were actually assigned to the even pages, which have now shifted to become the odd pages, and the box stayed with it's page.
Now, here's what happens when you delete page 2:
Except for page one, which hasn't moved or changed, the screen shots from removing page one and page two look the same, because I only removed one page at a time. That caused the pages to switch sides.
Now, here's what happens when you remove pages one and two at the same time:
This is what you are getting. As best as I can guess, the reason that the green box is above the yellow boxes is because the left page of the spread is higher in stacking order than the page on the right. My guess is that the stacking order of the objects on each page is reaffirmed when pages are deleted. And in this case, I don't think it matters whether you delete them one at a time or two. Here is a screen shot of what it looks like when I delete page one, then delete page two right afterward (actually, since page two had become page one, I had to delete page one the second time to delete the original page two, but you know what I mean):
This screenshot looks the same as the previous, even though this one had two pages deleted one at a time, and the previous one had two pages deleted together. I can't say whether this is a bug or not, but I assume that the engineers at Adobe didn't choose this behavior on purpose. It's probably a side-effect of some other choice that probably makes perfect sense.
I think the answer is to either place objects that span a spread on the master, or to use layers if the master option isn't practical for the job you are doing.

Stacking Order of Duplicated MCs

I have a Flash piece that duplicates a random number of
MovieClips (using duplicateMovieClip) and randomly places them. You
can see it here:
http://litmusbox.com/staging2/
Trouble is, the duplicated MCs are being placed on top of
other artwork. The duplicates appear on top of the text on the left
side of the page. The original MC which is being duplicated resides
on a layer that is under this text. However, its duplicates are
being placed on top.
See my code attached. I'm not sure how "depth" applies here.
From what I can tell, the only time one refers to "depth" is when
you're duplicating a movie clip, and that movie clips that have not
been duplicated have no way of assigning them depth. I've assigned
the new MCs to have a depth of "itr-100". I'm assuming lower depth
means lower stacking order. However, these duplicated MCs are
clearly appearing on top.
Any ideas?

to 'contain' these clips at a particular depth - create an
empty MC at the depth stack (on layer or with code) that you want,
the attach all of these clips to that instance, including the
initial block, if you wish to use duplicate. you could simply use
attachMovie - but this will work also.
additionally, it's not recommended to assign 'negative' depth
values, as these are reserved for the elements within the IDE. in
your situation if you create a 'holder' MC you can begin at 0 and
simply increment upward. all MCs have a z-order as well as the main
timeline.
also, you can refer to and assign depths to and instance,
using swapDepths(), getDepth(), or getInstanceAtDepth();

Stacking Order of pageItems in CS5

I have not been able to get the correct stacking order of pageItems within a layer/page (in CS5). This was simple to do in CS4 as something like this (CurrentPageItem = myPage.pageItems[i];) would return pageItems in the actual stacking order in the document.
With CS5 all textframes come together and all rectangles come together, irrespective of them stacked in any order (TextFrame, Rectangle, TextFrame,.... would come out as TextFrame, TextFrame and Rectangle). Some solutions already in the forum point to changing to older version (6.0), but I don't want to do that.
Can there be a way to determine STACKING ORDER within the layer/page in CS5?

Hi Rich,
The fact is that you are right and we are—partially—wrong. More precisely, the answer is incomplete in that it does not account for another issue: PageItems is a meta-collection which, in fact, target specific sub-collections (Rectangles, Ovals, TextFrames, etc.). Browsing within a PageItems collection by indexes may lead to something very tricky when different kind of underlying objects are involved.
Let's study the following layout:
This is a single-page document having three simple top-level items: a Rectangle, a TextFrame, and an Oval.
Considering the myDoc.PageItems collection, I don't know exactly how the internal indices are managed in that collection, but as it has been said a PageItem.index property returns a z-order, we can check this:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var pgItems = doc.pageItems; // a PageItems collection
alert( pgItems.everyItem().index );
// => 0,2,1 (depending on the z-order)
// These are indices within the spread.PageItems collection
The resulting order, [0,2,1], indicates that:
pgItems[0] has the z-level 0 (front),
pgItems[1] has the z-level 2 (back)
pgItems[2] has the z-level 1 (middle)
From that we can infer that pgItems[0] refers to the Oval, pgItems[1] refers to the Rectangle, and pgItems[2] refers to the TextFrame.
But, what is really misleading is the following test:
alert([
    pgItems[0].index,
    pgItems[1].index,
    pgItems[2].index
// => 0,0,0 !!
As you can see, pgItems[ i ].index returns 0 (zero) for each item, whereas we just have seen that pgItems.everyItem().index returns [0,2,1]. How is it possible?
In fact, the weird [0,0,0] result reflects indexes within the respective Rectangles, Ovals, TextFrames collections (each has a single element).
In other words, pgItems[ i ].index is actually resolved as pgItems[ i ].getElements()[0].index. This makes it practically very difficult to keep a relevant connection between the everyItem().index Array and the actual z-order of the page items. I think this is the reason for the issue you mention.
So, how to do? As a general rule, never rely on collection indices to identify an element. The only way to unambiguously and unvariantly refer to an object is to use the id property. If you need to deal with z-orders, backup the information in a id-to-zorder structure. Here is an approach:
var zOrderById = {},
    itemZO = pgItems.everyItem().index,
    itemIds = pgItems.everyItem().id,
    i = pgItems.length;
while( i-- )
    zOrderById[itemIds[i]] = itemZO[i];
Then you can use zOrderById[ pgItems[ i ].id ] to retrieve the z-order of the i-indexed item in the pgItems collection:
alert( zOrderById[ pgItems[0].id ] ); // => 0
alert( zOrderById[ pgItems[1].id ] ); // => 2
alert( zOrderById[ pgItems[2].id ] ); // => 1
Of course, given a page item, myItem, you also can directly use: zOrderById[myItem.id].

Travel Expenses settlements against Service Order/WBS Element/Project Ord

Hi Experts,
I have one req. in Travel Expenses, i.e. need to settle travel expneses against Service Order/WBS Element/Project Order.
Can you guide me how to do this req.
Thanks & Regards
Rajesh

Hye mate,
This is possible for sure what you need to do is to go at travel request . In travel Request there is an option of Enhanced Travel cost/ Alternative master cost center. if you click on it . you would find an option of cost assignmnet click on it
there you would have option , like an excel sheet like fields of the cost centre, wbs element, profit center, order number what eve is requred and save it.
now the cot of trip would go that particulat cost center or der numbe or WBS rather then the cost center assigned at master data in ifototype 0027.

How can i change the order of elements in a JList ?

Hi,
i would like to know if it is possible to change the order of elements in a JList ? Maybe i could use drag and drop to do this ?
Thanks for answering.

The simplest way is probably to implement ur own listmodel and then supply the listitems in the order u want. Example:
class MyListModel
          extends AbstractListModel
          implements ContactListListener {
public int getSize() {
return listitemcount;
public Object getElementAt(int index) {
//here u return the item for the index at the list
//if u for example have an array of strings
//which u wanna have listed in reversed order (reversed to
//the order in the array, u could do
     return myarray[getSize()-index];
}

I have seen this issue. And it seems like it is more related to the buttons being placed on multiple layers rather than the buttons placed on a master page vs non-master page. I have yet to determine what causes a button to randomly ignore the stacking order of layers. But if you move all buttons to same layer, and then have all in the proper stacking order, this should maintain the same stacking order once exported to PDF. I realize that this could defeat the purpose of layer functionality, especially when working with many overlapping buttons.

The stack sub menu does not enable for stacked photos in elements organizer 13 on windows 8.1

The stack sub menu does not enable for stacked photos in elements organizer 13 on windows 8.1.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I stacked some photos, now I cannot expand them or unstack them in the organizer.
This is for both auto and manual stacking.

Please press Ctrl+D to move to the older grid and now the stack option should be enabled.
Thanks,

How to export an album and keep images in the same order in elements 11 mac

I made an album of my trip to Australia (lots of pictures) and changed the order of the images (not the same as shooting order) and when I export the images in the album to a folder or memorystick, the images are copied to that place but I lost the album order of the images.
How can I prevent that, without having to renumber al 500 images separatly?
Gr Jos

Thanks for the tip, Michel
It worked like a charm…
cheers Jos

The order in album is only kept in the organizer database, so the only way not to lose that order is to rename files.
If you are using the 'export' function, select your album in custom order, select all photos and in the dialog, choose to rename with a common base name.

Reverse the order of elements in an array

how would i go about Reverse the order of elements in an array??

I link to the javadocs can't be too bad. [url
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Coll
>
ections.html#reverse(java.util.List)]Collections.rever
se(List)Of course I fortell the next question, but I wantan
Array not a List? So I provide the next link:[url
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Arr
ys.html#asList(T...)]Arrays.asList(T...)Yeah but then you have to worry about the next
question which is more of a statement: "I can't use
Arrays".
Then I would as them: How would you do it in real life? Of course they could think a real world way of doing it. In that case, I'll give them an real life example.
Assumed List
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Switch the first and the last elements
13 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1
Then the second and second to the last
13 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 2 1
And repeat until your half way.
13 12 10 4 5 6 7 8 9 3 2 1
13 12 10 9 5 6 7 8 4 3 2 1
13 12 10 9 8 6 7 5 4 3 2 1
13 12 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Done.

Will the order of elements stored in pl.sql table retains

Hello Friends,
I am having a record type and the for each element of record , i am having corresponding pl.sql table type .
If i am storing the values into the records from a query and also the individual elements in the pl.sql table type will the order of data is stored as it is . ..
example...
in a record type the data is stored as ( name1 , age1 , salary1) , (name2, age2, salary2)
if i store in corresponding pl sql table type name1 , name2
age1, age2
salary1, salary2
can i relate the index of record type with that of pl/sql table type ..
pls advice
thanks/kumar

Kumar,
Yes, the order of elements will be the same.
Any specific reason why you would want to create a collection for each individual attribute of the record ?
You can as well declare another variable of the same record and initialize it.
A few other suggestions for your code :
1) The 2nd FOR loop can be modified to accommodate the query of the first cursor there-by eliminating one extra iteration.
SELECT MINC.FAMID,
                     MINC.MEMBNO,
                     MEMB.AGE,
                     SALARYX,
                     SALARYBX,
                     NONFARMX,
                     NONFRMBX,
                     FARMINCX,
                     FRMINCBX,
                     CU_CODE
                FROM MINC, MEMB, FMLY
               WHERE MINC.FAMID = MEMB.FAMID
                 AND MINC.MEMBNO = MEMB.MEMBNO
                 AND MINC.FAMID = FMLY.FAMID
                 AND MEMB.FAMID = FMLY.FAMID
               ORDER BY MINC.FAMID2) The collections can be alternately initialized as follows :
   v_member_rec(v_member_rec.last).FAMID := j.FAMID;
   max_earnings_tab(max_earnings_tab.last) := v_max_earnings;The tried the below example for confirmation ...
declare
type emp_rec is record
(name emp.ename%TYPE,
dept emp.edept%TYPE,
sal emp.esal%TYPE
TYPE emp_rec_tab is table of emp_rec;
ert emp_rec_tab := emp_rec_tab();
TYPE ename_tab is table of varchar2(20);
ent ename_tab := ename_tab();
TYPE edept_tab is table of number;
edt edept_tab := edept_tab();
begin
for i in (select * from emp)
loop
     ert.extend;
     ent.extend;
     edt.extend;
     ert(ert.last).name := i.ename;
     ert(ert.last).dept := i.edept;
     ert(ert.last).sal := i.esal;
     ent(ent.last) := i.ename;
     edt(edt.last) := i.edept;
end loop;
for i in 1..ert.count
loop
     dbms_output.put_line(ert(i).name||','||ent(i));
     dbms_output.put_line(ert(i).dept||','||edt(i));
     dbms_output.put_line('');
end loop;
end;

Stacking order vs. Layers?

I'm coming from working with layers in Photoshop and understanding how they work in there. Illustrator also has layers, though you are able to also change the stacking order of items on a given layer by using the object > send to back or forward.
1. Why would you want to send items to the front or back and not just use layers?
2. When do you want to put an item on a new layer vs. just changing its stacking order?
Thanks.

Stan,
The point you are missing is a conceptual problem common among many users who have some experience with Photoshop (or other raster image program), but next to none with programs like Illustrator (drawing programs) or InDesign (page assembly programs).
The key difference is this: Fundamentally, a Photoshop file is, ultimately, one single raster image. An Illustrator (InD, CorelDraw, FreeHand, Canvas, Flash, Firworks, etc., etc.) file is a collection of individual objects.
In object-based programs, all the objects are located somewhere in one big Z-stacking order. Think of Layers in these kinds of programs as just one heirarchal "level" of "grouping" contiguous objects within the stack. There are several other such organizational "levels". For example:
AnchorPoints exist in the one big Z stacking order. Sets of contiguous anchorPoints are "grouped" (connected) into paths.
Sets of contiguous paths are sometimes "grouped" (combined) into compound paths.
Sets of contiguous objects—including paths and/or text objects and/or raster images (each with its own color model, color depth, rotation, scale, DPI)—can be "grouped" into Groups.
Sets of contiguous objects can be "grouped" into (reside on) Layers.
Groups can be nested. You can have Groups inside other Groups.
Layers can be nested. You can have SubLayers inside other Layers.
In Illustrator and some other vector drawing programs, the Layers palette does not just list Layers. It lists every object on each Layer.
All this organizational scheme is useful and important because of that one fundamental difference: These are object based programs. Now compare this to Photoshop. Yes, a Photoshop document can have Layers. But what is a Photoshop Layer really? It's just another raster image of the same color mode, same color depth, and same pixel count as the Layer(s) underneath or above it. The color values of corresponding pixels in any of the channels of each Layer can be mathematically combined to result in the color you see in that pixel location on your monitor and in the final result. But you don't have a stack of independent raster images. Think about it: In Photoshop, you don't have a 100 PPI CMYK image in Layer 1 while you have a 300 PPI RGB image in Layer 2.
But in an object-based program, you can have a stack of any number of raster images, and each one can be scaled independently without loosing any of its pixels. In other words, the pixels in individual raster images on the page can be different sizes from the pixels in other raster images on the same page. Then you can throw live text objects and paths into the mix, as well.
So more elaborate and flexible ways to organize objects is critically important in these kinds of programs. Example:
You set up a Layer to contain the background raster images of a magazine ad. There are several images, and they are independently scaled and positioned, sometimes overlapping. They need to be sorted in Z-order within that Layer. The Layer enables that particular set of objects (raster images) to be treated as if they were one object.
In the same ad, you set up a Layer to contain the body text.
In the same ad, you set up a Layer to contain the photo captions.
In the same ad, you set up a Layer to contain an elaborate vector illustration.
Within that vector illustration are hundreds of individual objects. Those are organized into subLayers and/or Groups. But the parent Illustration Layer lets you turn off visiblilty or lock the whole Illustration.
And so on. So there are counless reasons "why you would want to send items to front or back" or change the stacking order of objects within a specific Layer—because there are countless situations in which different organizational levels make sense in terms of working efficiency. There is no single one-size-fits-all answer to your question. But trust me, all the Z-stack organizational "levels" are important. And they are all standard fare in object-based vector illustration and page layout programs.

Stacking order

How do I change the stacking order of Display Objects in AS3?
I have a semi-transparent caption box that is supposed to be on top of externally loaded images. no matter where I place the script for that box in the code, the images always load on top of it. Is there a solution?
Thanks!

It would be better to see your code first, but there are some things you could try.
you could use two methods to swap those displayObjects:
swapChildren(obj1, obj2);
wapChildrenAt(0,1);
You could also try to add your caption box to the top of the stacking order of your displayObject that's serving as its container with addChildAt(captionBox, 5);
But you can't simply specify a high number like "100" to be sure it will be on top. To find out the right number in the stacking orther you could try something like addChildAt(obj1, container.numChildren+1);
I didn't test it, but it should work fine.
If you're first adding the caption before the images, using simply addChild(newImage); won't do. You should use addChildAt(newImage, 0); instead. This will add the image to the bottom of the stacking order.
Hope you solve your problem!
