Text on website masked by an object...?

Hi all,
This is my first post, so please excuse me if I do something wrong
For a couple of months I run an iWeb09 (3.0.4)-created website www.definiteaquascape.tv. The site serves mostly for embedding my videos about aquariums, which I upload to my YouTube channel "DefiniteAquascapeTV" (www.youtube.com/User/DefiniteAquascapeTV). I use iWeb SEO Tool for adding titles, meta tags etc. I try to optimize the website for keyword (phrase) "aquarium ideas". All was working fine, and my website appeared in 3-4th page of Google search, but some time ago the main page (homepage) dissapeared from Google when searching for "aquarium ideas". It IS still indexed, because when I search for "definite aquascape tv" it shows up in the first place. BUT it has dissapeared from the "aquarium ideas" search results. Instead, one of the subpages is showing up, on 2-3 page of Google results.
When I search for "definite aquascape tv", and display a preview of the found "www.definiteaquascape.tv" website homepage (a preview = you know, those two arrows ">>" allowing you to get a small preview of the site without actually visiting it), the homepage is diplaying without the text. All pictures and graphics (I used rectangular "frames" around the text) are in place, but the text is not visible. It looks like this ONLY in the preview, because when one loads my page in the browser, everything looks normal (I tried IE, Opera, Firefox - all are OK). So, my wild guess was that maybe those rectanglar objects I have used as "frames" are on top of the text, and Googlebot recognizes them as solid graphical objects, and not "empty", transparent frames. Because of this my homepage would be almost text-less for Googlebot, hence - not "worth" showing in the search results. BUT the text is visible in the browser - after displaing the page, I can mark (highlight) the text with the mouse coursor, and copy it to the clipboard, so the text seems NOT to be masked, and it's not an image (I use Arial, so no need for iWeb converting fonts to graphic)... Moreover, if you look closer on the small preview, you will notice that there ARE some parts of homepage text visible - namely, two blue links, which are in the text box on the bottom of the page. The links ARE part of the text, and yet, the text is not visible in the small preview, but links are visible... Does iWeb create a separate layer for text-links embedded in text-body...?
I edited the homepage several times, making sure that the textboxes are on top of all other objects on the site ("Bring Forward" in context menu greyed out) - but still, there are no changes in the small preview, nor does my homepage appear in "aquarium ideas" search results... I have also noticed that the homepage displayed in the preview is an older version of my homepage - about a month ago I switched the location of Menu and Google AdSense 160px wide Skyscraper - now Menu is on the right side, and Skyscraper on the left side, but in the preview the location is opposite = the old one. Maybe I should clear the Google cache = I mean, erase the site map from Google, and let Googlebot do its job from the beginning, to allow for correct indexing?
I have also some other questions, regarding more the SEO Tool, than iWeb itself:
1. "Fetch as Googlebot" from Google Webmaster Tools says that there are many subsites of my site with title tags missing. These are only "widgets" - I think those which I have used for putting Google AdSense ads on my site. Should those widgets have any title...?
2. I want only my homepage, and only some of level-1 subpages, to be indexed by Googlebot (I don't want all level-2 subpages with sigle videos appear randomly on Google search results). Hence, I have checked "Tell search engines to index this page" only for Homepage and for selected Level-1 subpages, the rest has only "Tell search engines to follow all links" option checked. Is it a good idea to disallow indexing of most of Level-2 subpages of my site...?
OK, I think that's it for now... I'll appreciate any answers / suggestions / comments.
Below I attach the screenshot of the small preview of my homepage. Please visit my site www.definiteaquascape.tv if you want to see how it really looks now...
Cheers, and thanks in advance,
Piotr K.

My first button color is Arctic White and it has an instance of arcticwhite.
The actionscript for the Arctic White Button is:
on (release) {
_root.fillColor = 0xf3f5f4;
_root.brush.gotoAndStop(1);
The roof button has an instance of selected_roof_color and my dynamic text field where I want "Arctic White" to appear is given an instance of selected_roof_text.
Using your suggestion, my main Actionscript now has the following
roof.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,roof);
function roof(e:MouseEvent):void{
selected_roof_text.text="roof";
Looks like I've still got something incorrect as the selected_roof_text isn't changing when I click a color onto the roof.
Can you explain what the F in "roofF" is? Is that a typo?

[svn] 4019: Fix RTE when using text as a mask

Fix RTE when using text as a mask
SDK-17893 - TextGraphic inside of a mask causes RTE
When the mask is added, we weren't yet creating the displayObject which the TextGraphic class relies upon. The solution is to call validateProperties on the mask before calling validateSize.
In addition, the mask wasn't getting applied to the Group because we weren't setting an internal flag.
QE Notes: Test masking on both Graphic elements and Group.
Doc Notes: We need to note that if you use TextGraphic as a mask, you must set maskType = "alpha"

Does Illustrator do the same
thing? If not, you will have to join/add the paths
for each letter before exporting as an SVG file.
Sometimes Illustrator groups paths rather than
creating a single composite path, so you may have to
mess with it a bit. Hope that helps.
In Illustrator you can make a compound path with all the letters selected, or use the pathfinder (one of the coolest things in the latest versions)
When orginally outlines, text is grouped together, and each letter is it's own compound path.
(for those of you wondering, a compound path can have a cutout or more than one path. I've used it for a few upcoming themes and templates, and it works very, very well.)
I should mention that editing a compound path with a cutout section will remove the cutout section. Can't stress that enough.

Mask with an objects (different behaviour)

Did you see that MASK is not work correctly when we will apply it to the OBJECT type of event?
We know how to work with masks. But when we try to add an mask to an type of "object" (circle, box etc) there is no mask, then we only got a second 'object'.
Did you realize that? Hot to work as usually when I want to add a mask to an object?

I think you are trying to draw a mask on a shape layer. If that is the case and you are using AE CS6 or later then look carefully at the tool bar. You will see a little pair of icons. One is a star the other is a little rectangle:
Click on the little rectangle to the right of the star and the tool will then create a mask on a shape layer. In earlier versions the icon's are differentlittle different. They are only visible when the shape tools are selected.

Dynamic text and animated masking problem?

Hi
Can anyone suggest to me what might be happening here. I will
try and explain step by step... I am using flash MX
I have dynamically created a movieclip which I want to mask -
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovie", 1);
I dynamically add a movieclip into it which I then load a jpg
into -
_root.myMovie.createEmptyMovieClip("image1", 0);
_root.myMovie.image1.createEmptyMovieClip("newFile", 0);
_root.myMovie.image1.newFile.loadMovie("http:...");
I dynamically create another movieclip called myNormalText1
insde the first movie -
_root.myMovie.createEmptyMovieClip("myNormalText1", 2);
this holds a dynamically created text box called mytext -
_root.myMovie.myNormalText1.createTextField("mytext",1,0,0,0,10);
// the text box formating is dynamic, uses devise fonts,
arial and is red ect.
I have then attach a movieclip and use it as a mask to create
a transition effect over _root.myMovie (which holds the image and
text)
_root.attachMovie("mask","mask",5);
_root.myMovie.setMask("mask");
the mask movieclip is what is causing me the problem!!!
method one
when the mask movieclip contains this -
a phisically drawn box that fills the whole page
I use a shape tween to make the box transform into a thin
rectangle down the left hand side of the screen
I get a transition effect which makes _root.mymovie disapear
to the left which is what I want!
The image and text are masked correctly!
*** Please note I am aware that dynamic text boxes using
devise fonts are not displayed correctly under a mask layor when
they are not embeded, in flash MX. I am able to view my movie in a
browser window which uses flash player 8 that now allows dynamic
devise fonts to be masked!
method two
I then wanted to create a different transition effect like
venitian blinds,
so, in my mask movieclip I created several rectangles that
fill the page
again I used a shape tween so they get thinner,
when I tested my movie the same way in the browser,
the mask did not work correctly over my text in
_root.mymovie???
yet the image in _root.mymovie was masked correctly???
the only differance between the two methods is the shape
tween in method one uses one box shape, and the shape tween in
method two uses several rectangler box shapes.
I was wondering if anyone knows why the text is correctly
masked in case one and is not correctly masked in case 2
I want to do other transition effects using masks in this way
and I am having no luck :-(
Thanks for any advice

Hi
I have been researching this ALOT and found some info that
basically tells me when I use setMask() over dynamic device fonts,
the mask uses its bounding box (the rectangular outside edge of the
whole mask movieclip) as the mask.
In case 1 the mask moviclips bounding box shrinks when the
shape tween plays because there is one rectangular box being
tweened. It appears to mask the text correctly.
In case 2 I have variouse different shape tweens going on
inside the mask movieclip so the bounding box stays the same size
across the whole screen and it wont appear to mask my text
correctly.
I think I have answered my own question, but this still
leaves me stuck! I want to create this venitian blind effect using
masks over devise fonts.
I came up with the idea of using for example 4 different
masks over the one movieclip but again flash doesnt like this and I
guess I can only use one setMask() per movieclip?
Can anyone suggest a way I can use multiple dynamically
created masks on one movieclip or cant it be done?
Thanks

Rollover text on a drag and drop object

Hi folks, I wondered if someone could help me with this
problem. Last week I was adding text to a drag and drop object on
the press of a button and release of a button. This week, I am
trying to get the drag and drop object to reveal text when the
mouse rolls over it and again when the mouse releases it. I thought
it should be pretty easy to fathom out the script for this, because
I was given a lot of help last week. But I put in the attached
code, and the object does not drag and drop, and neither does it
show any text when the mouse rolls over it and off it.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanking you,
Marchan

The script I posted would work on the main timeline - not in
the timeline of the clip itself.
So you made a movieclip out of the image and gave it the
instance name "myclip". That's good.
You edited that clip and added a dynamic text box with
instance name "mytext". Be careful not to confuse the "instance"
name of the text box with the "Var:" name. "myclip" should be the
instance name. Also be careful to make sure you uncheck the
"selectable" box. Edit your clip and click on the textbox to select
it and look in the properties panel. There should be a button with
Ab on it. If it is white background (highly likely), click it so it
is not white. If the text is selectable, it will interfere with
your button functions.
While there is nothing wrong with creating nested clips
within your movieclips, unless you plan to target them for
something, there is no benefit. The only thing that needs an
instance name inside the myclip is the textbox (based on what you
are trying to do).
You don't need any actionscript in the movieclip itself. If
you can learn to place all your AS on the root timeline, you will
be well ahead.
If you placed that AS inside the clip, Flash wouldn't know
what to do with it.
Technically you can place the AS inside the clip on the layer
you created but, if you did that, you would need to modify the
script to the following:
this.onPress = function() {
this.mytext.text = "stop pressing so hard";
startDrag(this);
this.onRelease = function() {
this.mytext.text = "";
stopDrag();

Getting Text onto One TV in the Objects Tab

Hey All,
I'm trying to put some text onto one tv in the objects tab in Live Type and
I can't even get text to show up on one of them. In the users manual it only
tells you how to get the tv onto a track but not how to get text onto the 'screen'.
Is it possible to get text onto one screen?
Thanks
Ted

For this effect I would suggest the following:
Put the TV (like the horizontal TV slide) on the bottom track
Put a text track on top of that
Add the "TV Off" Effect to the text track...found in the "Mechanical" Category
with the effect highlighted click on the "Timing" tab in the Inspector and in the "Speed" box change it from the default "reverse" to "forward"
Adjust the positioning on your timeline to coincide with the TV motion
It will now look like it's part of the TV

All text on website is acting as a (false) link, assistance greatly welcomed.

*Please open link in IE not FF*
The text and narrative in all of the pages on the website www.blindname.com/index.html and subsequent pages is acting as a 404/link, when I scan the code, there are no links visible and I have checked to see all the tags and am yet to find the problem.   Would you be so kind to be able to assist?
Many thanks, I will keep this window/thread open and will be here to talk.
I also am having layout problems in Firefox and Chrome. Originally I designed it in FF and GC but could not get the IE working properly, so then decided to redo in IE and now cannot do FF. I may open up another thread for this when this problem is solved, and if it is more appropriate.
Here is the code of the index page, but all pages, seem to have the problem:

Trouble with mass amount of text and clipping mask - please help!

I have a curvy vector image that I want text to appear in, then create a clipping mask. When I try this I get a message saying that the text object is extremely complex and might not print. The file is impossible to move around and sometimes crashes my machine.
Here is a screen cap of what I'm doing:
http://www.aaronpenton.net/mask.html
I blocked all the text so there's just a ton of it.
This is for a large graphic (22') that will be placed on glass.
Is there a better way to do this? Or a way of making the file more manageable ?
Any help is much appreciated.

>I have a curvy vector image that I want text to appear in, then create a clipping mask.
Inaccurate description. You are using the text as a clipping mask for the image. That's a lot of text, which means a very complex compound path with tens of thousands of points. No wonder this is slowing things down.
Try using the text as an opacity mask instead, then flatten transparency. Keep a copy of the text and a copy of the wave on hidden layers so you can go back and edit the text or modify the path.

PDF - Text on multiple lines become seperate objects - is there a way to prevent this?

I'm exporting to PDF from inDesign with the idea that the text would be editable with Acrobat Pro.
However, when opening the PDF in Acrobat Pro, each line is a seperate instance / object.
Is there a way around this?
I imagine I can recreate the text in Acrobat Pro - but it would be good if there was a way round from inDesign - as i imagine it would be better for SEO and screen readers. Also, i've uploaded PDFs to sites before like Slideshare, yudu, issuu which create a text only version - only the text only version is scr*wed up due to the above problemo.
Help much appreciated or even to know if its not possible. Thanks.

Not really sure what SEO has to do with it? But I think you're talking about "Accessibility"
When a PDF is created that's what happens. You can't export it and have paragraphs of text editable. PDFs are meant to be FINAL files.

I would like to create a custom datagridview column containing text images and MS Word OLE objects

I am an old time LabView programmer going back to 2.0. But moved on with my career several years ago. But here I am back attempting a custom column in dataviewgrid control. .NET is hard. My goal is to read in an MS Word document and parse it out to a custom column. The column will contain regular old text, images and MS Word objects, sometimes called OLE objects.
There is scant information on creating .NET and labview when it comes to form manipulation. I have stuggled through the learning curve and now able to insert a text box column into a datagridview and add it to the form container and actually size it to the datagridview control. I've added a menu, but still figuring out the layout class. Did I say .NET is hard?
I know there must be a custom column created and even found a C# example, sorta. Trouble is the example uses easy stuff like override and private. It will take me another 3 weeks for that, darnit I'm getting lazy.
Does anybody out there have some example of a custom column in the datagridview?
If you ask to post code. I have nothing I would be proud to show.
The sorta go by: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/31823/RichTextBox-Cell-in-a-DataGridView

This is what the progress looks like so far. I broke the tasks down in sub VIs. One to create a custom cell so I can add it to the column CellTemplate. The other to add the column to the control. My limited knowledge of .NET and the implementation in LV causes me to question the value of LV .NET.
The coding to create a TextBoxCell override with ImageCell CellTemplate. Honestly I'm guessing what to do, because the LV documentation on inheritance and overriding is poor at best.
The column coding to add the cell to the custom column.
Probe 19 always comes up with an error. The error is the standard 1172 with no clue what is causing it. The "index" will work on 0 or 1, I suspect bc the two cell types are 0 and 1 but nothing tells me that, just guessing.

How to change dynamic text on mouse click of an object

Here is my Project File.
I'm wanting to change dynamic text when an object is clicked.
I created 3 dynamic text boxes under "Selected Colors" and gave them instance names of selected_roof_color, selected_trim_color and selected_wall_color.
When the user clicks a color (ie Arctic White) and then clicks say the roof, I want the "Selected Color" to display "Arctic White" to the right of "Roof:".
The colorable areas on the building have been given instances of roof, walls and trim.
I used this tutorial to change in the textbox underneath the colors when you mouse over a color.
Thank you for your assistance.

My first button color is Arctic White and it has an instance of arcticwhite.
The actionscript for the Arctic White Button is:
on (release) {
_root.fillColor = 0xf3f5f4;
_root.brush.gotoAndStop(1);
The roof button has an instance of selected_roof_color and my dynamic text field where I want "Arctic White" to appear is given an instance of selected_roof_text.
Using your suggestion, my main Actionscript now has the following
roof.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,roof);
function roof(e:MouseEvent):void{
selected_roof_text.text="roof";
Looks like I've still got something incorrect as the selected_roof_text isn't changing when I click a color onto the roof.
Can you explain what the F in "roofF" is? Is that a typo?

How to set the caption text of a node with user object.

This is my problem for two days below is my sample code. I need to associate object with the tree node but the node is displaying the toString() value of the object. It should display the text I wanna see.
Please help. I was from the JSP world so Swing is quiet new to me, only this year I got again a project in swing.
TreeMap treemap = new TreeMap();
treemap.put("3","3");
treemap.put("5","4");
treemap.put("4","4");
treemap.put("1","1");
treemap.put("2","2");
DefaultMutableTreeNode nodetable = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(treemap,true);
DefaultTreeModel model = (DefaultTreeModel)jtree.getModel();
model.insertNodeInto(nodetable, nodetop,nodetop.getChildCount());

I have created a subclass of DefaultMutableTreeNode, I just have one question with my Default Constructor, is it correct? Suppose to be it should be super(Object userObject ,boolean allowChildren)?
But when I do that it does not compile.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I suspect my contructor inside code super() is not enough the parameters got lost. (btw) i will give you the dukes, please just verify my code.
Thanks.
class MyDefaultMutableTreeNode extends DefaultMutableTreeNode{
public String caption="";
public MyDefaultMutableTreeNode(Object userObject ,boolean allowChildren){
super();
public void setCaptionString(String str){
caption = str;
public String toString(){
return caption;
}

Mask and replace object on a moving item

I am new to CS4, and not too familiar with Photoshop or After Effects, and I was wondering how would be best to do this:
1 - I need to mask the label on the cover of the Blush jar, where it says "MICA BELLA cosmetices" and replace it with another name. The photo moves from left to right in the video so whatever change I make has to move with it. In fact there are a few photos in which I need to do the same, and the jars are at different locations and angles.
2 - Also, at the botton of the pic, below the white line I need to put another word to cover "MICA BELLA" and I'm wondering how best to copy the color scheme across the lettering.
I do not know how the original was created.

Stabilization is the process of stabilizing footage, tracking is the process of synchronizing/adding elements to moving footage.
Sorry if the answers so far are not what you wanted to hear, but the reality is that, althought it might SEEM like a simple task, tracking replacement content into moving footage can be quite complex. There are huge teams of specialists dedicated to this very task on many TV commercials and films these days. It's crazy to think you can attain that level of skill with a tutorial and a couple of hours.
In my opinion, so long as there's not too much dimensional distortion in the camera move, the easiest way to achieve a basic result would be this:
Export a frame to Photoshop and clone out the text on the lid. Then select the whole face of the lid and place it on a new layer.
Save the layered PSD and import to your AE project. Place the "clean lid" layer into your comp and align it perfectly over the old lid.
Now it's your choice - learn how to motion track, or simply move through frame by frame and adjust the position of the clean lid at every frame. If you set a start position and an end position, hopefully the lid will be in almost the right position throughout the move, and you'll only need to make small corrections.
When you're happy with the result, add your text layer, use Corner Pin to alter the perspective, and attach it to the Clean Lid layer using parenting. You might want to use a Transfer Mode like Screen to make it blend more realistically with the light falling on the lid. (You might prefer to skip that step and just add the text to the lid in Photoshop, if there's no prespective change during the camera move.)
Use masking to remove the coloured text in lower frame. Use Layer Styles to create a matching gradient on your replacement text/log

Safari doesn't display some title text on websites properly...

Hi, I get strange problems on Safari. Safari doesn't display title text on some websites. It is replaced with some mathematical fonts like small numbers, figures and etc... But it happens to only title text. All other body text is fine. I thought fonts caused this issue, then I checked duplicated ones and deleted related files from preferences, cleared cache, reset Safari and rebooted. However I didn't get any luck...
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

You haven't given enough details to reproduce or attempt a solution. What website(s) are you visiting that exhibit this problem, and when did it start? Have you tried setting up a new user account and testing those sites in that account? Did you attempt to visit those sites using another browser such as Camino or Firefox to see if the problem manifests itself in either of those?
Post back with details.
