Typing in a zone already created with the type tool ?

Hi folks
Everything is in the title
my problem is everytime i want to type characters in a selected zone , Illustrator is creating
a new sub layer named <type> , instead I just want to come back to my selected area and add / erase / modify characters
any insight ?
Thanks !

Ok i've figured it all out
I can't screenshot it but when you hover the selected typing area (with the type tool), the cursor slightly change ,
you don't click when it's a dotted line square, but when there's nothing surrounding the cursor ( in the middle of the area)
Hope that's right
Thank you

Retreiving the content created with the Note Tool via Javascript??

Hey guys, is it possible to retrieve the text content created with the Note Tool from the tool palette in a photoshop document via Javascript? Basically, I wanted to store some text inside the Photoshop psd document, and then later on I can use scripting to access the content to be use as variables.
I have search the Javascript scripting reference pdf and the forum here, and I can't find any info the Note Tool. Much appreciated.

Ok, so I am using the activeDocument.info.keywords property to store my text content. The content is basically a chunk of text that contains some parameters that the user can modify to save out a document. In my script, I am using a variable to store the content from the info.keywords property. But my next hurdle is how can I extract specific part of that variable into other variables, like storing the C:\projects\Textures\ into another variable? I've done some research and got a sense that the "match" method in javascript along with the use of regular expressions might do the job. But I am stuck. Any suggestions?
info.keywords property has the follow chunk of text:
// file path to save
path(C:\projects\Textures\)
// save file format (psd or tga, etc)
format (tga)
// include a single alpha channel with the file y/n
alpha(n)
// alpha name - default should be "alpha1"
alphaName(alpha1)
// scale from the original size
scale(.5)
//sharpening
sharpen(.5)
script code:
var saveDoc = activeDocument.info.keywords;
var savePath = saveDoc[0].match(regular expression goes here); // how to grab C:\projects\Textures\ from the saveDoc variable???
alert(savePath);

Having problem with the type tool

When I click on the type tool, I don't see the cursor like I should. Instead, I see a tiny flash, but when I type, nothing. What's wrong. Does anyone know?

You can create a new user account which when you log into it will be a fresh account and that can tell you whthether it is a preference or font corruption problme.
You should try to create a new user and log in if it still persist you might have a more serious problem. You maight have another application on your computer like a spell checker that is causing the conflict and it will have to go.
it sounds lie a conflict to me.

How can I change the frame around a title created with the Rectangle Tool?

In PrE 7, I have been creating titles (e.g.: Title > New Title > Default Still, etc.) for a long time and using the many ways to manipulate the text (type, color, size, animation, etc.). Today, I tried to use the Rectangle Tool (or the Ellipse Tool, or the Line Tool) and they created a beautiful 'frame' (like a picture frame: artistically designed and colored) and I can change the background color within the frame and place any text (also background picture, etc.) in it. However, I couldn't find any way to change the 'frame' or the general style of these title objects. Is there any way to do this, or this is the only design that can be created with these tools? I would greatly appreciate any help (couldn't find any in this u2u site). Thanks, Laci.

Laci,
Yes, you can apply Styles to several Rectangles (or other Shapes), to simulate a "frame." The Styles should appear as Text in the Styles Panel. Since you are working with Shapes, but viewing the Styles applied to Text, it is not perfectly intuitive as to what those Styles look like with the Shapes.
Personally, I find that doing things like "frames" in Photoshop and then Importing the PSD's into PrE is far, far easier. In that case, I would place the PSD on Video Track 1 (unless I wanted it to appear superimposed over my Video (like a PiP), and then do the text in a PrE Title, and place it above the PSD.
Here is an example:
This is a simple "picture frame" created in PS. I used a still image, instead of text in this case. These could be "wood-grained," "granite," etc.
Much more control and tons of Effects and Filters that can be applied.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - that is from PrPro, so the GUI will look quite different, but things work the same way.

The lines I create with the pen tool are not showing up in After Effects.

I'm working on a project where I need straight lines. I've added the lines using the pen tool on solid layers, but they are not showing up before or after rendering. I can see where they are supposed to be when I isolate the layer they are on. I have the lines at one pixel, solid white and the layers are on top of everything else. I took a screen shot. Can anyone help me?

Well, I am still not 100% sure why the pen tool lines/masks are not showing up but I was able to work around it. I already had the stroke effect applied and set to all masks. Looking into this though, it seemed that they were only not showing up on the new solid layers I had created. I duplicated the layers the masks were working on instead and it seems to resolve the problem for now. Thanks for your help!

Need help with the brush tool.

I just got Illustrator yesterday, and I'm trying to ink a sketch. So I open the file of the sketch, Save it as an adobe Illustrator document, then I create a new layer, then when I go to trace the sketch I get a symbol saying I cant use the brush tool. How do I fix this? Thanks in advance.

Have you actually selected a brush stroke from the Brushes palette? Brusches are differnt from normal line strokes, the latter of which you can create with the Pencil tool...

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just created on the new disk. It says the second document cannot be opened and to move one of these documents out of your Final Cut Events folder. It also says to avoid this problem, copy events from within Final Cut Pro, but that is what I did in the first place. What should I do to avoid the double opening conflict?

What exactly are you doing and what version are you using with OS X 10.8?

I purchased Adobe Elements Photoshop 12 & Premiere 12 together from a camera shop in town. When I tried to use the Premiere, it splashed "created with the trial version" over all of the photos. How can this unsightly watermark be removed. It has severely hampered my timeline to start and finish this project. Why would a purchase software product purport to be a "trial" version?

This indicator will appear when you have not registered your product or typed in the serial number for the product.
Once you've added the serial number, any future products will not display this indicator.
To remove this this indicator from videos created before you added the serial number, you'll need to delete the rendered files.

Web already created with iWeb 06, what if I upgrade to iWeb08?

Hi!,
I'm a bit excited, yesterday I reviewed the new Iweb08 version and most of the features included can make my web life quite easy.
Before to upgrade I would like to have some advice from you guys.
I have a website with my own domain, I bought it through goddady, everything is already uploaded but it would be great to continue this project with the new tools contained on iWeb08.
- I would like to know if I can transfer my current website to iWeb08 without any troubles and work with it.
- I would like to know if some of you have experienced already this situation, one website developed with iWeb06,then upgrade to iWeb08. is everything okey?
- Also, my computer is a Macbook, the cheapest one with 512mb and 1,83 Intel processor, is that enought to run iWeb08?
Any kind of feedback is welcome.
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards

Hi Nathaniel
Thanks for your reply, I read the thread, and I'm a bit scared right now.
I don't want to loose my website (it's been three months working on it!), so thanks for the advice and good luck with your issue. On the other hand I found a solution on the support site.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305944
It reads like that:
Web ’08: How to maintain redirects for sites created in iWeb 1.x
iWeb sites published to .Mac have a new, simpler URL when republished from iWeb ’08. To be sure that people can still find your site using the old URL, be sure not to delete the folders from your iDisk in /Web/Sites/iWeb. These folders maintain redirects to ensure that iWeb 1.x URLs still work for sites republished from iWeb ’08.
mmm... what?... Excuse my stupidity, but if I buy in the future the new iWeb version, I will have to enable again my own domain name in godaddy?.......I'm getting confused.
I was wondering if you can explain to me, (as you will explain to a child), how to backup your site and upload it again, or where to find this information, just in case I have some future 'accident' with my site.
Thanks a lot.

Creating a link with the Link Tool

I used the Link Tool to create a Link in my pdf file. The link is set to open a website file. I created 2, one with just a little text and the other was a picture that was 200 X 300 px. When I follow the links, each is opening a full web page. I expected that with the Text link because I put the text on an html page but the picture I sized to the 200X300 but that opened a full web page also. When setting up the link to the Web File I did not see an additional settings as far as how to open the web page such as _parent or _child etc. I believe it is normally the Target.
Does anyone know how I would either do this with the link tool or know of a better way to do it overall?
Thanks
Bob

Hi,
You may be confusing HTML markup for links with PDF links.
In PDF, HTML markup is not applicable.
So "target_xxxx" or any other HTML 'stuff' cannot be used.
For the graphic file (JPG, PNG, whatever), make a web page file that is configured to display the graphic file in a manner you desire.
The web link you set in the PDF, with Acrobat, will result in this web page file opening.
This is the file that will control how the graphic is rendered.
If needed, a resource for HTML "how to" is W3 Schools.
Be well...

HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas?

my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas on how to correct this? This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem. It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about. (there was a new iCloud release, hence...) No ETA for a fix yet. I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list. I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve). I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward. They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset. ;-)

Issues with the SQL wrapper scripts created with the DB adapter

Hi All,
We have the wrapper sql scripts created with the DB adapter configurations which are being used to invoke the stored procedures.
To give you a background on the wrapper sql scripts-The Adapter Configuration wizard generates a wrapper API when a PL/SQL API has arguments of data types, such as PL/SQL Boolean, PL/SQL Table, or PL/SQL Record.
These two SQL files are saved in the same directory where the WSDL and XSD files are stored, and are available in the Project view.
The issue we are facing now is that whenever the associated package or the procedure structure undergoes a change we see an error as given below:
An unhandled exception has been thrown in the ESB system. The exception reported is: "org.collaxa.thirdparty.apache.wsif.WSIFException: esb:///ESB_Projects/Application1_ABC_ESB/DBADP_Update_Out.wsdl [ DBADP_Update_Out_ptt::DBADP_Update_Out(InputParameters,OutputParameters) ] - WSIF JCA Execute of operation 'DBADP_Update_Out' failed due to: Error while trying to prepare and execute an API. An error occurred while preparing and executing the APPS.XXIRIS_SOA_R_WRAPPER.XXIRIS_AR_CUST_K$ API. Cause: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded ORA-04061: existing state of package body "APPS.XXIRIS_AR_CUST_K" has been invalidated ORA-04065: not executed, altered or dropped package body "APPS.XXIRIS_AR_CUST_K" ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called: "APPS.XXIRIS_AR_CUST_K" ORA-06512: at "APPS.XXIRIS_SOA_R_WRAPPER", line 1 ORA-06512: at line 1 [Caused by: ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded ORA-04061: existing state of package body
In such cases we need to either execute the wrapper scripts again or refresh the connection pool in case the wrapper sql scripts for that procedure are not available.
In some cases we see that the first instance errors out.However the second request and the subsequent requests after that goes through successfully.
Please do let me know if anyone has faced such issues before.
Any inputs in this regard would be of great help.
Thanks in advance!
Deepthi

I stumbled on a link in the oracle forum which says that the "create or replace package XXX" at the start of the PL/SQL procedure when run seems to intermittently cause the ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded problem.
As per the solution suggested an “alter package XXX compile" can be executed after the changes are made and then we would no longer get the error in BPEL/ESB and dont have to bounce the server too.
__http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=185762_
However the above solution does not seem to resolve the issue.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

What is the user scope when created with the API?

I noticed that users created with the Adobe Connect API for my meeting/account are always listed in the Administration -> Users and Groups area. Which probably means that a user's login is only valid for my meetings. So if they wanted to register or join a meeting controlled by someone else, they would have to re-register or be re-created by that admin. Is this correct?
I'm trying to confirm this so that I know how to register a user on my website. It would be ideal if my website would register the user and also log the user in without the user having to enter a separate password (my website would generate and store the password). If the API creates a user only for my meetings then this is not a problem. The user will just always have to go through my website to get to the meeting. However, if the user created by my Adobe API account can be used to access/register in another person's meetings on Adobe then this approach is not so good because the user would need to know their password.

yea, guest registration is not an option as I need to restrict access to the meeting.
My main concern is that another Connect account holder can change the user's password. If this ever happens, my website would have an old password and would be broken because it wouldn't be able to log the user into their meeting. This may be a rare case, but the website will be charging for these meetings/webinars. If the user can't get in at the time of the meeting.... i'll have a lot more problems.
I guess I'll just need to provide a way for the user to change or enter their own password.
Thanks for the info!

Why does it say my event is already open with the same identifier so the second document cannot be opened?

I have been working for 7 hours today on a major 3-month project. Everything was okay until I closed it and tried to open it. I received this error:
"/Volumes/MediaSAN4/Workbench/HRL /Final Cut Events/Move-In is already open with the same identifier as /Volumes/MediaSAN4/Workbench/HRL /Final Cut Events/Move-In, so the second document cannot be opened.
Move one of these documents out of your Final Cut Events folder. To avoid this problem, copy events from within Final Cut Pro."
not sure what it wants me to do.
When i hit ok EVERY event is gone. all projects say missing event. Even the two I'm not working on. I'm so frustrated I've thought about starting the project over in 7 but I want to stick with it.
I work for a university and have not been able to find help, even from my boss. The only thing I have found to fix it is to dismount the drive (mediasan4) and then remount it and it reconnects everything. But this can't be a good way to work. There are no duplicate events anywhere. there IS for some reason a duplicate mediasan4 drive in the project library, but not under the events library. I have been working in one and everytime I make an edit to my projects in there it makes the changes to the other one. I cannot find a way to delete it. We just reinstalled fcpx a few days ago.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Oh yea sorry about that, but yes sir, I sure am. The SAN not the drive. I have tried renaming the event as well. Thanks for checking though.
