Transparency and colour question
Hello - I would like to mix colour in Flash using
transparency to create something like
this
(no interactivity required):
If I create Cyan, Magenta and Yellow movie clips and change
the Alpha transparency, obviously the whole colour becomes lighter
(and the layered colours don't merge well). Is there any simple way
to do this, preferably using transparency, although I am prepared
to accept this is not possible. I have tried using masks, but I may
be overcomplicating things and am unable to get my head around what
is required. I found a movie showing that
it
is doable.
Any ideas?
Hello, you can achieve that by utilizing the blend mode in
Flash 8. If you create movie clips from the 3 items then apply a
multiply blend to each, you'll get what you're looking for. See my
example
here.

Blocks of transparency and colour corrupting files.
Please help. When working on layered files in photoshop my image will suddenly be filled with blocks of transparency, copying of other portions of the images and random colour changes. basically the image goes crazy. At this point I loose what ever I have done since the last save. If I save the image then the file become corrupted and I loose all the work.
I am running 10.10.1 on a 2014 iMac with fully paid for version of the online photoshop cc2014Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
Is Photoshop fully updated?
What kinds are the Layers involved?
What have you done for general trouble-shooting so far?

Transparency and flattener question when sending to publication
Mac OS X 4.11 InDesign CS3
I have a half page ad. A photo takes up roughly the top half, text the bottom half. Inside the photo at the bottom of the photo there is a white headline with a soft shadow. The text in the bottom half of the ad is on a layer above everything else. In the flattener preview the text does not appear to be affected. It shows up as gray. I think this indicates the text is not to be rasterized. If I move the text to the bottom layer on the bottom of the stacking order, the text appears red in the flattener preview. The publication says Acrobat Pro is showing "transparency" problems, specifically the text area. Is it possible they're not reading the transparency flattener display in Acrobat Pro correctly?>>In the flattener preview the text does not appear to be affected. It shows up as gray.

Exactly correct.
>>The publication says Acrobat Pro is showing "transparency" problems, specifically the text area. Is it possible they're not reading the transparency flattener display in Acrobat Pro correctly?
Acrobat's flattener preview isn't 100% reliable. It sometimes highlights type or vector elements that won't actually be affected. When in doubt, they can place the PDF page in InDesign and view it with ID's flattener preview for a more accurate display. -
Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?
If this happens on monitor 2 of 2, this problem has been solved here:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/794823#answer-157988
Go to "Firefox"--> "Options" --> "Advanced"
Then un-check "Use hardware acceleration when available"
While not verified, I believe this problem is due to an SLI configuration where the focus is on monitor 1. (I.e acceleration is available, but only on monitor 1.) -
The entire webpage seems empty and colorless. When I roll over a square or something that is empty, I get the "hand" as if there is something in there that I should click on. All the pull down menus are transparent and hard to read against the background. I tried the same web site on IE and everything is good. It seems as if half of the Browser is loaded. The updates had no affect. My email site is a drab and dreary place that I use the Mac email instead. I remember on my old HP with Firefox it was great. And so was Thunderbird. What can I do??
Thx....DaveWhat happens if you use a theme which changes all the background colours, so that no system colours are used?

Graph & Chart: select and colour single element of data series
Hi,
my question is about formatting Keynote graph: i.e. bar graph 2d or 3d, is it possible select and colour differently a single element of series? In Powerpoint exists that possibility, but in Keynote I can't find the way to select only one element. If I change colour, all series elements change.
Thanks in advance
AntonellaHi Pasha ,
yes, i am quite sure that bars are overlapping and checked with the 3 options you have mentioned.
3. I have tried streching the graph horizontally but still the same display.
2. I did moved to mouse to the edge points of bar .. it only mentioned one data series instead of two
1. See if the db column contains NON-ZERO values ? ..
I am not sure of it but when deploying the model in VC , i got a warning message saying " Zero fill is checked without Max length in field "Gross Turnover Actual " of entity " query name "
Let me know, how this efffects the display and what do i need to do to resolve the issue .
Appreciate your valuable inputs ...
Thnks,

Overlays and colour dodge printing
Hello,
I am currently attempting to create a wood grain background.
I saw that using an overlay gradient really makes it look a lot more realistic but this is to be printed so I am not sure if this is basically treated as a transparent gradient and may not print. Another step in the tutorial I was looking at was also to add another overlay with a colour burn tool so it creates a lighting effect. Again, does this add transparency (my gut is telling me yes).
Here is the tutorial so the effects are better explained (step 8 and 9) - the other steps I have not used as I drew the grain by hand:
http://vectorboom.com/load/effects/woodentexture/3-1-0-244
I had an earlier issue where I had created gradients with a part of them transparent and they did not print and so I have been avoiding transparency at all costs. The funny thing was when I had a group of objects at 80% transparency they seemed to print fine.
Could someone give me advice on what is print safe and what is not when it comes to such effects.
Thank you.Blending modes change the actual color of a pixel. Still, the result is the same - a wood texture turned yellow-ish using a blending mode is no different than manually reducing the color density using transparencies once it's translated to CMYK for the actual printing - a light yellow pixel that falls below the ink's capability to represent that color based on its pigmentation and viscosity that determine its minimum dot size/ ink volume cannot be printed. Simple physics. Most colors will simply need anywhere from 3% to 7% coverage to actually show up. A proper workflow based on managed color should reveal such issues early enough, though.

Problem with adjusting both transparency and color of an object
I am writing a program where when an object is picked, both it's transparency and color will be altered (the object will become opaque, and its color will turn to a predefined "selected" color), while the previously selected object will return to its original transparency and color. I am able to get this to work, except that objects that were picked two or more picks ago will remain in the selected color, albeit in their original transparency. This problem only seems to occur when transparency is factored in. The picking/color & transparency altering code is as follows.
public class PickingListener extends MouseAdapter {
private PickCanvas pickCanvas;
private TextDisplay overlay;
private Primitive p;
private Primitive lastP;
private ColoringAttributes origColor;
private TransparencyAttributes origTransparency;
public PickingListener(PickCanvas pickCanvasArg, TextDisplay overlayArg) {
pickCanvas = pickCanvasArg;
overlay = overlayArg;
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
pickCanvas.setShapeLocation(e);
PickResult result = pickCanvas.pickClosest();
if (result == null) {
System.out.println("Nothing picked");
} else {
p = (Primitive) result.getNode(PickResult.PRIMITIVE);
if (p != null) {
setSelectedColor();
overlay.setPickedBarInfo((BarInformation) p.getUserData());
else
System.out.println("null");
private void setSelectedColor() {
ColoringAttributes barCA = new ColoringAttributes();
TransparencyAttributes barTransp = new TransparencyAttributes(TransparencyAttributes.NICEST, 0.0f);
barCA.setColor(ColorConstants.SELECTED);
if (lastP != null) {
lastP.getAppearance().setColoringAttributes(origColor);
lastP.getAppearance().setTransparencyAttributes(origTransparency);
origColor = p.getAppearance().getColoringAttributes();
origTransparency = p.getAppearance().getTransparencyAttributes();
p.getAppearance().setColoringAttributes(barCA);
p.getAppearance().setTransparencyAttributes(barTransp);
lastP = p;
}Capabilities to alter the primitive's color and transparency are all set.
barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_COLORING_ATTRIBUTES_READ);
barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_COLORING_ATTRIBUTES_WRITE);
barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_TRANSPARENCY_ATTRIBUTES_WRITE); barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_TRANSPARENCY_ATTRIBUTES_READ);
ColoringAttributes barCA = new ColoringAttributes();
barCA.setCapability(ColoringAttributes.ALLOW_COLOR_WRITE);
barCA.setCapability(ColoringAttributes.ALLOW_COLOR_READ);)
Any insight as to why this would occur would be greatly appreciated.

Performance issue and functional question regarding updates on tables
A person at my site wrote some code to update a custom field on the MARC table that was being copied from the MARA table. Here is what I would have expected to see as the code. Assume that both sets of code have a parameter called p_werks which is the plant in question.
data : commit_count type i.
select matnr zfield from mara into (wa_marc-matnr, wa_marc-zfield).
update marc set zfield = wa_marc-zfield
where werks = p_werks and matnr = wa_matnr.
commit work and wait.
endselect.
I would have committed every 200 rows instead of every one row, but here's the actual code and my question isn't around the commits but something else. In this case an internal table was built with two elements - MATNR and WERKS - could have done that above too, but that's not my question.
DO.
" Lock the record that needs to be update with material creation date
CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_EMMARCS'
EXPORTING
mode_marc = 'S'
mandt = sy-mandt
matnr = wa_marc-matnr
werks = wa_marc-werks
EXCEPTIONS
foreign_lock = 1
system_failure = 2
OTHERS = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
" Wait, if the records not able to perform as lock
CALL FUNCTION 'RZL_SLEEP'.
ELSE.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
" Update the record in the table MARC with material creation date
UPDATE marc SET zzdate = wa_mara-zzdate
WHERE matnr = wa_mara-matnr AND
werks = wa_marc-werks. " IN s_werks.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
" Save record in the database table MARC
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
EXPORTING
wait = 'X'

wa_log-matnr = wa_marc-matnr.
wa_log-werks = wa_marc-werks.
wa_log-type = 'S'.

wa_log-message = text-010.
wa_log-zzdate = wa_mara-zzdate.
APPEND wa_log TO tb_log.
CLEAR: wa_return,wa_log.
ELSE.
" Roll back the record(un save), if there is any issue occurs
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK'
IMPORTING
return = wa_return.
wa_log-matnr = wa_marc-matnr.
wa_log-werks = wa_marc-werks.
wa_log-type = 'E'.
" 'Material creation date does not updated'.
wa_log-message = text-011.
wa_log-zzdate = wa_mara-zzdate..
APPEND wa_log TO tb_log.
CLEAR: wa_return, wa_log.
ENDIF.
" Unlock the record from data base
CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_EMMARCS'
EXPORTING
mode_marc = 'S'
mandt = sy-mandt
matnr = wa_marc-matnr
werks = wa_marc-werks.
ENDIF.
Here's the question - why did this person enqueue and dequeue explicit locks like this ? They claimed it was to prevent issues - what issues ??? Is there something special about updating tables that we don't know about ? We've actually seen it where the system runs out of these ENQUEUE locks.
Before you all go off the deep end and ask why not just do the update, keep in mind that you don't want to update a million + rows and then do a commit either - that locks up the entire table!The ENQUEUE lock insure that another program called by another user will not update the data at the same time, so preventing database coherence to be lost. In fact, another user on a SAP correct transaction, has read the record and locked it, so when it will be updated your modifications will be lost, also you could override modifications made by another user in another luw.
You cannot use a COMMIT WORK in a SELECT - ENDSELECT, because COMMIT WORK will close each and every opened database cursor, so your first idea would dump after the first update. (so the internal table is mandatory)
Go through some documentation like [Updates in the R/3 System (BC-CST-UP)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCSTUP/BCCSTUP_PT.pdf]

Depending on my theme and style I was able to force Firefox to be transparent and work with Aero to show through to my desktop or other windows behind the browser. I really liked this ability, however, sometime after Firefox 16 this stopped working and I have been looking for a solution ever since. I am currently on the the release version of Firefox.
Does Firefox not allow this anymore or is there a way I can code this feature back using Styles or modifying one of the files in Firefox?Attached screen shot with Firefox version...Everything you see should be transparent.
You might be seeing I have an old version as I have a few privacy apps running.
I just attempted another reset and copied my old profile data back in.
I've attempted in the past, disabling and removing extensions and apps one by one.

Spam filtering solution for iPhone and a question.
I've read a lot of posts about spam filtering for the iPhone and have yet another solution and a question. I use SpamSieve and I am not affiliated with them in any way. The nice thing about SpamSieve is that if it is the first rule in your Mail.app rule set any mail that follows has already been filtered. All you need to do then is create another rule that redirects email to what ever mail account you choose. Since my ISP allows multiple accounts, I will simply create an iPhone@myISP account.
Now the question. Is it possible to write an applescript that will turn the redirect rule on or off so that I don't have to dig into the rules section of Mail to get this done?
