Using transform to make color changes

using Flash Professional 8, Actionscript 2.0..........I am in
the process of creating an e-learning swf, where I will have a
variety of lessons. what i would like to do is use the set
transform property to change the color of all of the icons and
navigation bars to reflect the current lesson. i have been able to
get specific instances on the stage to change using actionscript,
but i would like to have the changes reflected throughout the
module, without having to re-write the script for each instance.
when i have tried using the linkage in the library, it is a no go.
could someone direct me where to look to solve this problem? i have
attached the code that i am using to get the specific instances
working on the stage. thank you in advance to anyone who can help
me.

I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to by CS5? CS5 can be a number of Adobe products or suites.
Other than that, Contribute may be fine to use to edit your site depending on how it was created. Personally, I consider it more content management oriented. In other words, it's great for users with little experience editing web sites but really should have an administrator that has the experience to use a different tool to really get into the nuts and bolts of a site.
If you have an HTML/CSS diven site and are familiar with both, you may want to consider getting a real web editor like Adobe Dreamweaver. You can do real time and live view editing as well as the ability to edit the code itself. Contribute is pretty stripped down (made for people with little experience) so if you seriously break something, you'll still need to get an aplication that allows you to go in a fix it.

Sequence Background Color Change

I kind of doubt this is possible, but you never know. Is it possible to change the gray background color of the timeline Sequence?
We need to make it extremely obvious what sequence our editors are using. We have several Sequences with specific codecs that are used for different purposes and we need to make it obvious beyond a doubt what Sequence they are working on. Unfortunately we can not use Compressor to make this change in our workflow. We are trying to make this workflow as simple as possible, and this is one consideration we are looking into.
Thanks in advance for your ideas and help.

I'm guessing this is an educational institution? If not, I agree with the above statements about not hiring editors who need different colored timelines. But if you ARE in the business of teaching, then consider this as part of the lesson. You can't teach someone how to be an editor without teaching them the things that editors have to know.
But the real answer of your question is, no. You can't have FCP automatically set your timeline to a certain color, even by using the label feature, on the bias of the sequence settings. Even if you use the label feature, you would still have to manually label each and every sequence that was created.
Teach your editors well. Their producer's **** will slowly go by.

Using the retouch tool, how do you make it change color? The old iPhoto one did, this one seems to be flesh-tone only, which is not how I need it to be. In old iPhoto, used the local color to blend, it was great.

I don't know which old version you're referring to but iPhoto 6's, 7's and 8's retouch tool works exactly the same as iPhoto 9's. The color of the enhance tool's area while applying is a light brown color but the retouch works on any color using the surrounding colors as a basis.

Splitting a Flattened Image into Layers so I can use the Paint Bucket to change colors

I have what I think is a flattened image that is part of a Website template. (I'm assuming the image is flattened, because when I use the paint bucket to change the color, it colors the whole thing; and when I use the magic wand, the whole image is selected). I need to be able to use the paint bucket to change the colors. What do I have to do to make the image work that way? The image is made to look like you're looking left to right at four file folders. The folder labels are a different color. Is there some way to separate the folders (now in green), the folder labels (now in yellow), and the white background from each other, so I can apply the paint bucket to different layers later? I've worked on this for hours now, and can't seem to find the answer. I'll have to change the colors in the image at least 10 different times, so I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to using the brush or pencil tools.

Darlene,
Another way is to use the Replace Color Tool. The Hue/Saturation method is probably easier, but I thought I'd mention Replace Color for your information.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=18IBCKnJchzoxfLEaw7Bu93j9W5jS
In my example I changed the 3rd label in your picture to red.
1. Roughly select the label using the Lasso tools.
2. Enchance>Adjust Color>Replace Color.
3. Click on the label in the picture; it will appear in the box as white on black background. In general you would move the fuzziness slider until just the portion you wish to change appears white. In this case since the yellow is uniform with sharp border the fuzziness slider had minimal additional effect, but I did move it all the way right to capture the fringe pixels.
4. Play with the 3 Transform sliders to get the desired result.
In this next example I changed the top of the lighthouse from red to green (why I would want to do that, I don't know!).

Note that in this case I didn't have to move the fuzziness all the way right.

Text color changes when more than one color is used in the same paragraph in a bulleted list

I work in a print shop on designers' files preparing them for print. Machine I use is an iMac, plenty of RAM, running Tiger 10.4. Here is my problem: A PC user sent us an InDesign CS3 file. A portion of the text is styled as a bulleted list with character color and bullet (the solid circle) defined as (default) black. However, the style is over-ridden on the bullet and first two words following the bullet with a spot color red, which is present in the Swatches palette (PMS 186). The remainder of the sentence stays black. The text somehow lost this override, and instead of keeping the 2 different colors all the text changed to black. This seems to have occurred when I saved the file on my machine. When I go back and open the original file the text is still colored both red and black. I think that the file was originally an InDesign CS2 file, and could even have been a Indd version 1 or Quark file. Why did the color change with no user intervention? Also, I can't understand why, when the first 2 words are highlighted and changed to red, the bullet also changes to red. (That is good, of course, because that is what we want, but I don't understand how that happens when the character style is black, and I can't even highlight the bullet itself). I sure would appreciate any ideas anyone has on this, I have to try to explain why we printed the text in black when it was supposed to be red and black!

thanks Alan and Bob. Nothing has explained the loss of color so far.
Alan, I will suggest to the designer that she use a nested style. I wonder if that will make the styling more stable moving accross the different platforms.
Bob, I feel like you may have thought, as I did, that hundreds of saves and saved-as and many different applications would have damaged the file, but as you could see by the History, the file was fairly fresh.
There is a very outside chance that I wiped out the style overides by command click but I am really careful and I doubt it.
So I'll thank you both again and check back each day, perhaps this will happen to someone else and become an issue. I have tried to repeat my actions and cause the error again but to no avail.

I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

Are you using FCPX? It doesn't have a canvas. Do you really mean one frame, like 1/30th of a second? Add a custom generator underneath the logo. Make it whatever color you want. Make it however short you want.

How do I make text change color in a DVD menu when highlighted?

Topic

>Adobe Photoshop integration
Create menus in the Adobe Photoshop® PSD file format using Photoshop technology built into Encore CS4. Edit menus in Photoshop and see your changes instantly in your Encore project.
This means that when your item is brought into Encore which uses photoshop files as menu items and you make a change to the art in Photoshop it changes dynamic as you go since you can dynamically link the file, same thing happens with PPro and AE.
You will have to look at creating subpictures and color sets in Encore to be able to change the highlight color. Menu Items are linked to chapters in your DVD and so it does not quite work same as a web page.The best advice to go to the Encore Forum for the best advice is to go to the Encore Forum to see if they can and are willing to help.

Excel 2007 cell color changes when copying to other docum. using clipboard

Hi,
There is excel 2007 document which is generated by SAP. I think it contains
some VB macros and some grouping.
The problem is that if I select something from that document, copy that and
paste to another excel 2007 document - colors get inverted somehow - for
example white cell becomes red cell (backgroud color I mean), other
background colors changes as well.
If I open this xlsx document using excel 2003 (it converts document using
compatibility pack) the issue is gone - I can copy contents to other excel
2003 document without losing any format info.
The problem is that our users all use office 2007.
What could couse this behaviour ?
thanks in advance
Vilius

dear friend,
you would do:
1. search SAP Notes;
2. check out the updates/patches for your MS Office;
3. replicate it on another computer/another sap user (make sure it is a local issue)
good luck!

Whenever i use pencil tool after completing the fig. the color change ............

I am new to adobe flash cs3 . whenever i use pencil tool after completing the fig. the color changes to green .. even though the box indicates black color ..

See if you have outline mode selected for that layer, or if you have it set for the file.
For the layer look at the last icon on the layer, the small square icon. If it appears as a solid it is not in outline mode, if it appears as an outline of a square, click it to change it to be solid.
For the file level, in the main toolbar choose View -> Preview Mode -> and make sure Outlines is not selected.

For the sake of clarity and to save people time, Todd is asking about the behaviour of the Patch tool when using it to repair the area next to the young lad's head. Todd gets a blurred dark tone pretty much regardless of the options he uses.
IMO that's what I would expect to happen because of the close proximity of the other image elements i.e. the lad's neck and the strong lines of his shirt. I would not choose to use the Patch tool in this situation. Content Aware Fill makes a better stab at it.

I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

Hi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,

I just bought a used Macbook Pro. How do I make the changes to make it personal. Example the iTunes comes up as the old user and I have to have his password to make changes on the laptop. Can you make any suggestions?

Also I cant make a right click on the pad. Is that normal?

Your first going to have to remove all your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine when it asks as this will copy the entire drive and is unnecessary at this time (also takes too long).
You need to drag and drop copy your personal data folders (Music, Pictures, Movies etc) to a external storage drive, once done, unmount and disconnect this drive.

Next your going to follow the Zero Erase and install method for your OS X version, either 10.6 or 10.7, here
How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
10.7 requires your AppleID and password to install, so make sure to have that ready.
Once you reboot your into the real setup of OS X, which will require your name etc, so it's now your machine.
Install your programs, iLife package is only free for the owner of the machine.
If you have the 10.6 machine specific disks, then it's on there.
If your using 10.7, then you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
Last, return your files from the storage drive, consider setting up a TimeMachine or clone on the external drive.

When using 2 printers at 2 locations. Rather than make sure the correct printer is shown when I print is there a way to make one change when I change locations?s there a way to

I have 2 residences each with a printer. When I move from one place to another and try to print I always have to make sure the correct printer is shown in the print window. What can I do to make one change on my MacBook Pro when I change locations so I am not bothered with this nuisance problem?

There was a way from OS9 location manager to set a default printer for any given location. This is not the case in OSX.
You can however, easily change the default printer in Terminal.app with lpoptions -d PRINTERNAME. To view all the printers type lpstat -p. Keep in mind that the name in lpstat -p may be a little different than the name in Printer Setup Utility. You must use the lpstat -p, PRINTERNAME when changing it in Terminal.app. Of course, if the names are the same, you don't need to worry about it.

Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too small to use.

How does one remedy this Adobe error message? "Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too small to use." This one always gets me. I'll spend more time trying to find the object in question. This has happened in almost al versions, but this time it's CS5.

Hmm, possible solution would be to select your object(s), scale them to 90%, and then hit Cmd+D or Control+D to repeat the transformation. I read that sometimes if you scale down too much and too fast it can cause this message.
Hope this works for you!
