Start 2 text layers at different times
Hi,
I have 2 text layers each with the underscore preset animation. They are both located at different points on screen. (1 top left & other bottom right)
I cant work out how to make it that they don't fire off at the same time.
top left needs to appear near start of composition then stay on till the end, bottom right needs to fire at say 50% then stay on for the rest of the clip.
I tried adding key frames at start & end options but this didn't work.
Thanks in advance
Todd
Thanks shooternz
I thought id already tried that,
There goes my IT background, off searching for a more complex answer.

Editing Multiple Text layers in Photoshop CC
Hi,
I have a problem when tyring ot edit multiple text layers and it's really a big problem as it crops up with virtually every design I do (websites, games apps...)
In previous versions of PS, you could select multiple text layers and edit them in bulk, so for exmaple, select a number of text layers, then change their font size (to say 20pt)... done.
However, with CC, there seems to be some odd 'ratio' editing goign on - if I select multiple text layers of different size and edit them (to all be 20pt, for example), it seems to just 'add' 20pt to what ever font size the individual layers were
It's a real issue/pain for me (and I suspect many others)
Please is there a fix or a way to switch off this 'feature'?
So to clarrify, I want to edit multiple (often different) text layers in one go to be the same font size... like I used to be able to.
Thanks.The last few times we saw this, it was due to a bug in a video card driver.
Please update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website. -

CS4 Extended - how to avoid selecting text layers
I'm working on creating an image with a number of text layers, most of which are in groups that I've hidden while I work. The problem is, I have so many text layers that every time I click to add another line of text, I wind up hitting one of the text layers in my hidden groups instead.
Typing my text in some out of the way location and dragging it into position is seriously annoying (and I'm running out of out-of-the-way locations). Is there any way I can prevent my text tool from selecting layers in hidden groups?Holding down the shift key while clicking the image with
the type tool should put the text on a new layer.

How do I get different layers to follow a motion path but start at a different time?
I'm doing a project where I need to have several credit cards come in from the bottom left, move to the middle right, loop up and come back down to exit bottom right. I can make one card do that with a motion path but every time I make the cards follow it, it just follows the null object wherever it's at. How do I make those cards start at different times so it looks like the cards are trailing? Once it gets to the loop the cards still need to stay behind as well.
I've been using AE for years and I feel like I should know how to do something as basic as this but I've been drawing a blank now for days. Thanks for your help!Meaning the speed is constant for the duration?

I recently purchased FaceTime from the Application Store. After approx. ±10 meg, the application resets and starts downloading again. I have tried to download it at different times of the day but with the same results. I have been in contact with Apple support and have tried different options with the same result. I cannot download a new Version because in my Purchased List the applicaiton (FaceTime) is still there, and because I have halted it it tells me to resume. I can’t, because the same thing is going to happen. I have tried all the various troubleshooting tips supplied by my ISP and also Apple Support with no luck. I am currently working on a IMac OS 10.6.7. Has anybody got any ideas? Any suggestion would help. Thanks

Also there is no activity on unit when I use the remote. The unit is stuck on the first page itself where we have to choose the language. The unit seems to be fine to me but the real problem is remote does'nt have activity. The IR is not responding while pressing any of the button.
Good luck with your appointment.
Not much consolation but even new products can have issues and might need a trip to a store to return/replace.
The reason i asked about the LED on the AppleTV is that occasionally it thinks it's paired with a specific remote and ignores others - the unpair keypress I described is quick and free.

How can I change the text layers to a specific color at the same time and in the fast way?
Dear all!
I am using Photoshop CS5. I typed 65 text layers in my file and wish to change their colors to a specific Black Color, but I don't know how to select all the layers at the same time so that I can change all the text layers from Red Color to Black Color in the fast way. Now I only select one layer and then change. It means I must select and change 65 times for the text layers. Hope you can understand what I mean.
Thanks a lot.
My Kindest Regards,
LUCKOne way is to select all the text layers, select the type tool in the tool box
and set the color from the tool options bar.

Write arrays into a text file in different columns at different times
Hi,
I have a problem write data into a text file. I want to write 4 1D arrays into a text file. The problem is that I need to write it at different time and in different column (in other word, not only append the arrays).
Do you have an idea to solve my problem?
Thank youA file is long a linear string of data (text). In order ro insert columns, you need to rewrite the entire file, because colums are interlaced over the entire lenght of the file.
So:
read file into 2D array
insert columns using array operations
write resulting 2D array to file again.
(Only if your colums are guaranteed to be fixed width AND you know the final number of colums, you could write the missing columns as spaces and then overwrite later. Still, it will be painful and inefficient, because column data are not adjacent in the file.)

I've tried to download the flash player several different times and each time i get a connection error message.It downloads fine and when i run the file to start install, it installs up to 5% and then i get the connection error message. I've tried disabling my antivirus software, closing my browser for install and nothing.Can someone please help me? I'm using Firefox.

I had the exact same issue, being on a mac. If you are on a mac and the connection error message occurs, then use this link http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
It allows you to download it offline, which is what I used.

Facebook sets the value of <spellchecker.dictionary> to <ru_RU> every time I start entering text (language doesn't matter) in a textbox on FB.
FF: Firefox 20.0 - Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint
OS: Linux Mint 13
I haven't noticed any other website I use causing that problem: all of them use the predefined (in prefs.js) value of <spellchecker.dictionary> and don't change it unless I change the speller language manually.
The only way I can change the value of <spellchecker.dictionary> back to <en_US> is manually choosing English in context menu of a textbox, or editing "prefs.js", every time Facebook messes it up.
Why does FB always sets <spellchecker.dictionary> to <ru_RU>???
My default locale is "en-US": <general.useragent.locale> = "en-US".
Please help.Websites should not be able to change a pref setting.<br />

Text Layers via Text File (ExtendScript)
It keeps saying Im posting a blank message when I paste my details in..... (grr!)
So here it is: on pastebin.... http://pastebin.com/EE7wthQ5
Ill fix it if i can....I am totally new at this extendscript stuff, but it will be my 6th coding/scripting language if I can become profficiant in it (This is bassicly Javascript right?). ( after C++, Objective-C, AppleScript, AutoHotKey and Bash... I don't count HTML/CSS)
So this is script number zero, I need somewhere to start, and I have a project I've been working on that I can't see another way to do it, so since I'm new at this, id like you to help me write this, I honestly have no idea, not even a clue where to start (Time for 'hello world!' eh?).
Anyway, what I would like help making is a script, that will take the 50 text files I have in a folder [ D:\Code\Examples\HelloWorld\*.txt] and make them all text layers with font: Anonymous Pro, Size 8, Color 0xFFFFFF. Alighted to the top/left at 0,0. I would like the layer name to be the Text-files name before the last period (I say last because one is named Visual Basic .NET.txt)... although first wouldn't be too bad. (So lets just say, until a period)
The reason I can't do this task by hand is simple, they are all 'Hello World' Examples, they are in 49 different coding languages. Each language has a seperate text file, like Bash.txt, Ada.txt, (Extendscript.txt next? .. make it an even 50 XD)
So, little help making this? Maybe an example?

How can I keep my text format after pasting a text with a different format?
No matter when and where I start to write some text (whether it is a SImpleText, E-Mails, or anyother application's doc), if I have to cut and paste a text from a different source that is formatted differently than my original text (ie. the one I am already using ), once I have pasted the differently formatted text in my doc, the typeset changes while it continues to type with the same formatt used in the text I just pasted.
How can I continue typing with the same text formatt used before pasting the new text, after pasting the new text, without having to change size, font style etc. Is there a short cut?
What I have been doing to avoid this problem is: I usually type my entire text content (whether it is an E-Mail, or other doc) then, once I am done typing, I paste the text that was cut from a differently formatted document, so that my text remains with the same formatt in its integrity, while the pasted text stands out differently, but it is a bit complex doing that , because I not only have to remember to paste the other text when I am done typing (I run the risk of forgetting to paste the text I need to insert--which has happened already) or I keep struggling with my formatt change after the pasting of the new text, so my document text starts looking like the same text as the one which was just pasted.

(1) First, let's make sure we're talking about the same thing. By "SImpleText, E-Mails" you mean TextEdit and Mail, right?
(2) Some apps (TextEdit, Mail) use the text engine provided by Mac OS X. By and large, these apps will behave in a similar manner. Others (eg, MS Word) use their own text engine, and their behaviour can be quite different. For such an app you need to consult its manual.
(3) In TextEdit, if you want the pasted text to adopt the current style, then use kurt188's tip.
(4) However, if you may want the pasted text to retain its own attributes, while you continue to type in the previous style. I don't know of any shortcut or command that will achieve this. However, you can try to work around it.
(4.1) TextEdit has the Copy Style (⌘⌥C) and Paste Style (⌘⌥V) commands. If you haven't yet used it, ⌘⌥V will insert the default style. So type, paste, ⌘⌥V, then continue typing. If you have used, it will insert whatever style was copied. You can, type, ⌘V, click somewhere before the pasted text, ⌘⌥C, click after the pasted text, ⌘⌥V, and continue typing.
(4.2) Alternatively, type your text. Then type one more character, eg, "x". Then ←, ⌘V, ⇧→, and start typing. The new text should adopt "x"'s format. (This should work in Mail, too. I don't know, because IMHO e-mail should always be plain text.) -
How to focus two text boxes at a time?
Hi,
I am developing a packet analyzer software. In that, I need to focus two text boxes as I select a treeview item.
I am using a following code:
delegate void voiDelegate();
private void click(object sender, RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<object> e)
TreeViewItem t;
t =(TreeViewItem) tvMain.SelectedItem;
StackPanel s = (StackPanel)t.Header;
List<TextBlock> l = new List<TextBlock>(3);
foreach (TextBlock children in s.Children)
l.Add(children);
string ch = l[3].Text;
string[] sp = ch.Split('-');
int te = Convert.ToByte(sp[1]) - Convert.ToByte(sp[0]) + 1;
PacketDisplay1.SelectionStart = PacketDisplay2.SelectionStart = Convert.ToByte(sp[0]);
PacketDisplay1.SelectionLength= PacketDisplay2.SelectionLength = te;
voiDelegate giveFocusDelegate = new voiDelegate(giveFocus);
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(giveFocusDelegate, new object[] { });
private void giveFocus()
PacketDisplay1.Focus();
PacketDisplay2.Focus();
but here I am able to focus only on second Textbox. I need to focus on both textboxes. How can I achieve this?
My requirement is like this
thank you.The documentation is pretty clear on this: There can be only one
element on the whole desktop that has keyboard focus:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969768%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396.
There is logical focus and there is keyboard focus. There can be multiple elements that have logical focus in an application but only a single element can have keyboard focus. Please refer to the link above for details.
If you want to highlight text in two different TextBoxes at the same time, you could replace the TextBox elements with RichTextBox elements, and set the background of a text range. Please refer to the following thread for more information about how you could
do this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18015380/how-can-i-change-the-selected-text-background-color-in-rich-text-box-wpf-c-sharp
Here is an example for you:
public partial class Window6 : Window
private static TextPointer GetTextPointAt(TextPointer from, int pos)
TextPointer ret = from;
int i = 0;
while ((i < pos) && (ret != null))
if ((ret.GetPointerContext(LogicalDirection.Backward) == TextPointerContext.Text) || (ret.GetPointerContext(LogicalDirection.Backward) == TextPointerContext.None))
i++;
if (ret.GetPositionAtOffset(1, LogicalDirection.Forward) == null)
return ret;
ret = ret.GetPositionAtOffset(1, LogicalDirection.Forward);
return ret;
internal string Select(RichTextBox rtb, int offset, int length, Color color)
// Get text selection:
TextSelection textRange = rtb.Selection;
// Get text starting point:
TextPointer start = rtb.Document.ContentStart;
// Get begin and end requested:
TextPointer startPos = GetTextPointAt(start, offset);
TextPointer endPos = GetTextPointAt(start, offset + length);
// New selection of text:
textRange.Select(startPos, endPos);
// Apply property to the selection:
textRange.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.BackgroundProperty, new SolidColorBrush(color));
// Return selection text:
return rtb.Selection.Text;
public Window6()
InitializeComponent();
//set text
PacketDisplay1.Document.Blocks.Clear();
PacketDisplay1.Document.Blocks.Add(new Paragraph(new Run("some text....")));
PacketDisplay2.Document.Blocks.Clear();
PacketDisplay2.Document.Blocks.Add(new Paragraph(new Run("some other text....")));
//set background
this.Select(this.PacketDisplay1, 0, 4, SystemColors.HighlightBrush.Color); //select "some"
this.Select(this.PacketDisplay2, 0, 4, SystemColors.HighlightBrush.Color); //select "some"
There is no way to achieve this by simply selecting text in two different TextBoxes and there is no way to set the background of a text range in a ordinary TextBox so you must use a RichTextBox here.

Fonts used in some text layers not available...
I've been gettting the following message lately when opening Photoshop files at work: "Fonts used in some text layers are not available for activation. You will need to replace these fonts before the layers can be used for vector based output".
But when I check my text layers, there are no indications that any fonts are missing. I double click on every text layer to see what font is being used and double check Suitcase Fusion to make sure it is activated.
I'm using OSX Maverick 10.9.2. I'm using Suitcase Fusion 5 version 16.2.0. And I'm using Photoshop CC 14.2.1. It's more of an annoyance than anything, but would like to know why it keeps telling me fonts are not available when they are currently activated in Suitcase. Not sure if it's an Adobe issue or a Suitcase Fusion issue.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks!
SteveDrStrik9, I opened up the file, clicked on each text layer and selected all to make sure there wasn't any character using a different font. There wasn't. I clicked on the font being used, tried changing it to a different font, then back to the font that was being used. I saved and closed the file, then reopened it, and that seemed to cure it for that file. Not an efficient way to go about it though.
I then tried another file that was giving me the same error, clicked on each text layer, changed the font to a different one, then back to what was being used, saved, closed and reopened it, and still got the same message. So it didn't work for that one. I then tried changing the font to a system font, Times Bold true type, saved, closed, reopened, and got the message again. So not sure what is going on. The fonts used in the first file were DIN and DINEngschrift postscript font, which were loaded and active in Font Fusion.
The 2nd file I tried was using Gotham Bold postscript font, which also was active in Font Fusion. I've run Font Doctor on the fonts and found no issues.
Even though I'm getting the error message when I'm opening these files, none of the text layers have that Exclamation point indicating there is an issue with the layer, so it would seem the text layers are fine. Just really annoying to get that error every time I open the file.
Another thing I tried is I created a new Photoshop file and just made some text layers using Gotham Bold. Saved, closed and reopened the file and did not get the message. So, I don't know why I would get it with one file and not another. Very confusing/frustrating. Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
