Vector Smart Object inside another smart object losing quality after scale

Hi,
I have 6 icons created on Illustrator and imported as vector smart objects.
Then, I select all 6 and create another Smart Object from then.
If I scale this smart object now, it will loose it´s quality, as if the icons were raster in the first place.
This was not what happend in in PS CS5.
It´s a bug or new "feature"?
Rodrigo C.

You need to realize that Photoshop renders pixels for the embedded object then when you scale the smart object layer it scale like and raster layer through interpolation not scaled with vector graphics. Its the way smart object layers work. Hers is a very old thread on the subject

Problem in reading an object inside another obj in C thru JNI

Hi All,
I am passing a java class object from Jave to C thru JNI.
This object has many integer fields + one object of another class, which also has some fields.
I am able to read integer fields from C but not able to read fields inside another object.
Can anyone plz help me in reading the object inside another object from C.
I m pasting class here for better understanding :
public class ImageMergeInformation {
public ImageInformation outputImageInfo;
public ImageInformation[] inputImageInfo = new ImageInformation[8];
public int topMargin;
public int bottomMargin;
I wanna read ImageInformation obj.
Plz help me...
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Sneha

You have to get the field id (getFieldID) of the variable you want, e.g. outputImageInfo, then get the object (getObjectField) in that field. At this point, you can start over (get the class, get the field id, get the object).

Smart object within another smart object

I'm running photoshop cs3. I created two different smart objects. Within each of those smart objects, I want to include another smart object. However, when I update the embedded smart object, only the partent SO is updated, the other SO seems to have a different child. here is the setup visually:
canvas -> SO1 -> SO3
canvas -> SO2 -> SO3
so when I update SO3 from within SO1, only SO1 is updated - SO2 stays the same. is there any way to have updates to SO3 affect all its parent SOs?
thanks

Smart objects are not really that smart after all. Yes PS uses a version of the original object, not the object itself.
Furthermore, I would add they they aren't even OBJECTS!
The very concept of an object is that changing it would affect all instances of that object, no matter where it is included, intended to save development time on complex projects.

[ORA-22905] How to read a field of an object inside another object?

Greetings,
I'm a student and in a current exercise we have to work with the Object Oriented Programming functionality of Oracle.
In the database we defined an object type, which is then considered inside another object type. The thing is, that I cannot read an attribute of the inner object. I've read tens of websites but none of them have helped so far. I've read the PL/SQL User Guide and Reference document also.
The inner object is defined as follows:
create type address_t as object (
        street varchar(50),
        city varchar(50),
        pcode number(5,0)
        );The outer object has an object of type address_t inside it:
CREATE TYPE professor_t as OBJECT(
          code number(2),
          p_name varchar(50),
          address address_t,
          );Also, there is a table named PROFESSORS that stores objects of type professor_t
First of all, with a simple testing SQL statement I can see the data inside the object professor, even the object address_t:
SELECT * FROM PROFESSORS WHERE CODE = 13;returns the following:
CODE    |         NAME      |       ADDRESS
13      |         JOHN     |       MYSCHEMA.ADDRESS_T('FIFTH AVENUE','NEW YORK',12345)The thing is, I want to read the field street of the object address (of type address_t) inside professor (of type professor_t).
I could see everywhere that the way to go is to use point notation, and I've seen examples about the command VALUE, but none of the following SQL statements work:
SELECT VALUE(ADDRESS.STREET) FROM(
SELECT CODE,P_NAME,ADDRESS FROM PROFESSORS WHERE CODE = 13);
SELECT ADDRESS.STREET FROM PROFESSORS WHERE CODE = 13;
SELECT PROFESSOR.ADDRESS.STREET FROM PROFESSORS WHERE CODE = 13;I'd really appreciate if someone could show me how to access the values of the field of the object inside an object.
Thanks in advance,
- David

Great, this worked so far.
It is curious that you wrote 'profesores' but that is the actual name for the variable. I translated everything to english in order to post it here.
So, the statement is:
select value(t).DIRECCION.CIUDAD from profesores t;And It returned:
VALUE(T).DIRECCION.CIUDAD
Valencia
New York
TijuanaAnd, applying the VALUE command to the statement:
select codigo,
nombre,
value(t).DIRECCION.CALLE,
value(t).DIRECCION.CIUDAD,
value(t).DIRECCION.CP
from profesores T WHERE T.CODIGO = 13;Resulting in:
CODIGO                 NOMBRE                                             VALUE(T).DIRECCION.CALLE                           VALUE(T).DIRECCION.CIUDAD                          VALUE(T).DIRECCION.CP
13                     Pepito Pérez                                       Calle de los Rosales 0                           Valencia                                           46023                  That is EXACTLY what I needed.
Thanks Thomas, It was really helpful !

Multiple SQL task objects inside a package object is not generating proper DTSX

I am programmatically adding multiple ExecuteSQLtask objects inside a package. I am specifying all the required properties to the ExecuteSQLtask objects. However, when I save the package object to dtsx, the package looses the properties of some
of the ExecuteSQLtask object.
In the below example, I have created 3 ExecuteSQL task objects using the function AddSqlTask. However, once you run it, one of the objects will loose its properties. What makes it more weird is the fact that sometimes, object 1 looses the properties,
some times, its object number 2. Its random. I know that these objects are COM objects. Is there something I need to careful of when setting the properties ? Why are the values lost when I save them to DTSX ?

How to lod Hierarchy from one info object to anothe info object

Dear Friends,
I am facing one problem with the loading of hierarchy from one object to another.
Please find my scenario below.
We are having 0material with hierarchy.This hierarchy is loading from R/3.We have to load this hierarchy to anothe object by replacing the nodes.So can you guys please suggest how to achieve this.Please let me know if you people are required additional information.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Madhu

Hi Madhu,
By default, you cant use a transformation to load data into the Hierarchy Master data.
I havent tried it myself, but for you to explore, I'll suggest the below idea.
Write an ABAP program to download the hierarchy table data from 0material into a flat file.
Create flat file datasource to upload hierarchy to the other infoobject.
Put both of them in a process chain and execute one after another.
Hope this helps. Pls let us know.
Regards,
Bijesh

Need to remove a sprite object when another sprite object hits it

Hello All,
I have a brick class where I have created a rectangle using flash.display.graphics.
I am using this brick class to create a grid of 10 X 10 in another class called grid using new brick() in a for loop.
I have another class called ball where I have created a circle with flash.display.graphics.
The problem is that I want to remove / destroy individual bricks when the ball hits the bricks on Event.ENTER_FRAME which is not happening.
the error I get is shown only for the last brick that is created in a for loop.
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at grid/ball_movement()// my function in enter frame event
The code I wrote in ENTER_FRAME is
if (Ball.hitTestObject(bricks)) {
removeChild(bricks);
where
var Ball:ball=new ball()
var bricks:brick=new brick()
any help is highly appreciated.
thanks
iceheros

Thanks a lot Kglad for your help. But how can I check for the entire grid, this works but how to detect the hit for all the bricks in my 10X10 grid? It is currently removing only the last brick (element) =100 (10X10) when I form the grid.
Thanks Again

How to Transfer Slideshow to Another Mac without Losing Quality

I produced a 93-picture slideshow with iPhoto6, Ken Burns, music, all excellent quality. I want to send it to a friend to be played on her MacBook Pro in exactly the same high quality (clarity, resolution, transitions, music) as I enjoy on mine.
If I publish it on .Mac I keep the high quality of the photos, but I lose the music and the transitions. If I publish it as a QT movie, I lose the quality of the photos; ditto for iDVD.
Is some sort of archiving possible, and sending via an ordinary DVD?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

There is a way to do this that involves copying your entire library, paring it down to just the slideshow, and burning the library to DVD.
1. Close iPhoto. In the Finder, copy your iPhoto Library folder. (Copy the whole folder without opening or taking it apart.) You'll need plenty of disc space available. You might want to make the copy on your desktop to avoid confusion.
2. Rename the copied iPhoto Library folder. (Ex: "iPhoto Slideshow Library ")
3. Hold the Option key while you launch iPhoto. Click "Choose Library" then navigate to the iPhoto Slideshow Library folder. iPhoto will now open the copied library.
4. In iPhoto, delete all photos and albums that aren't needed for the slideshow. Remember to use iPhoto Trash and to empty it. You might delete in batches of a few rolls at a time, since iPhoto can get fussy if you try to do too much at once.
5. Your new library should now contain only the slideshow and its photos. Close iPhoto. You may want to Option-Launch again and point to your regular library now, to avoid confusion the next time you open iPhoto.
6. Use the Finder to burn the iPhoto Slideshow Library folder to DVD. (Use the Finder's get info to check that it is about 4.2 Gb or less. That's about all you can reasonably expect to fit.) Since you are burning an entire library, the disc will contain the necessary database files to play the slideshow on any Mac that has iPhoto 6.

Programming multiple smart cards with multiple smart card readers in a PC causes a PCSCException in a smart card that is in progress

Hi,
I develop a Java code using smartcardio API to program a smart card. My GUI allows to add at most 5 smart card readers that will wait for card present, then do authentication and program the smart card with an application, then wait for card removal. This is a separate thread running in a loop for each smart card reader added as programmer.
The problem occurs when a certain smart card is in progress and I inserted another smart card to another smart card reader. Both smart card reader halts and throw sun.security.smartcardio.PCSCException: Unknown error 0x8010002f.
I also observed that every time there is an attempt to insert/remove a smart card in the smart card reader that is connected to the USB port would cause the programming in progress to be interrupted and throw the PCSCException.
These are some exceptions I got during my testing:
sun.security.smartcardio.PCSCException: Unknown error 0x8010002f
at sun.security.smartcardio.PCSC.SCardTransmit(Native Method)
at sun.security.smartcardio.ChannelImpl.doTransmit(ChannelImpl.java:171)
java.lang.Exception: Loader Record Failed: 6E | 0 //Sometimes I got this return code SW1 0x6E SW2 0x00 which means an APDU with an invalid 'CLA' bytes was received. I had check the command before it was sent and it was correct.
Help me understand this issue. I think the CardTerminal.isCardPresent(), CardTerminal.waitForCardPresent(0), and CardTerminal.waitForCardAbsent(0) cause this issue that CardChannel.transmit(apduCommand) is interrupted or the smart card insertion/removal causes the CardChannel.transmit(apduCommand) is interrupted.
Regards,
Knivez

Hi,
when you work with one smartcard reader only usually you address the slot -1 that means "the first found".
But to deal with multiple readers you have to use slots of course since one reader will be slot 0, next reader will be slot 1 and so on...
So a credential object will be identified on a system by a couple
<slot,alias>
After that, the way to address slots (I mean the syntax) depends on the classes you are using...
Bye

Drawing a Graphics object on a Graphics object

Is there anyway to draw a Graphics object on another Graphics object? I'm trying to show 2 screens, side by side, on a Canvas and I'm trying to cheat a little :-P Basically, I want to take half of one screen and half of another and put them on top of each other to form one screen.
OR is there a way to turn a Graphics object into an Image object?

I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but you can
- create an offscreen image using "createImage(int width, int height)" method of a Component , then
- obtain the graphics context of the offscreen image using "getGraphics()",
- you can then draw onto the offscreen image using the graphics context.
hope that helps. =)

Photoshop bug: Smart Objects overwriting other Smart Objects when edited and saved in Illustrator

Experiencing issues when working with a large number (over 200) vector smart objects brought into Photoshop CS4 from Illustrator.
Things seemed to be going along nicely; if I needed to edit a Smart Object, I could double-click it, it would open in Illustrator and then I could edit and save it. Return to Photoshop and the Smart Object is updated. Swell and dandy. The issue started happen when I hit a large quantity of either vector smart objects (remember, over 200) or the many layers and groups within Photoshop (must be over 500). When I would double-click, open, edit, and save the vector Smart Object, the Photoshop Smart Object I was working on would update AND another/several other Smart Objects would update as well. Which, of course, would ruin the artwork, as suddenly I was seeing several instances of the same object. If it hadn't have been for ForeverSave, I many not have recovered the work.
It's rather hard to isolate the issue to see what's causing the problem. Here are some of the possible causes:
Running Snow Leopard on Mac
Many, many Smart Objects in file, perhaps enough to ruin the naming convention and cause bugs when Photoshop referenced the temp file
Many, many Photoshop layers and groups
Illustrator vector files copy+pasted from several different files (affects the naming convention perhaps?)
Some groups/layers in Photoshop are duplicates
To help make it a little clearer, you should know:
Running the most updated software / OS (that is until CS5 comes out)
Smart Objects showed no error until I had actually opened, edited, and saved the referenced temp file (i.e. VectorSmartObject1.ai)
Files saved and worked on from Dropbox (network folder)
Not looking for much of an answer to this question; I just wanted to see if anyone else had come across this bug. Also, Adobe PLEASE look into this as you begin testing for the next update. I have the file(s) if you need to replicate the issue. My best guess is that the naming convention of Vector Smart Objects has an odd character limit so when Vector Smart Object 200.ai is saved, Vector Smart Object 2.ai gets overwritten.

Have you tested this with Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5? (the current versions, that came out last month)
If you duplicated a smart object layer, both layers refer back to the same file content. So when you change the file, both layers would be updated. That is intentional and explained in your manual. If you didn't realize this, that could explain what you are seeing.
If you placed separate files, then they should not be updated at the same time, because they will refer to separate files.
Yes, Smart Objects only update when you save the file.
You would need over 4 billion smart objects in one document to get Photoshop confused about which one refers to which file. And since the layer limit is much less than 4 billion, I doubt that is the cause.
There is no naming convention involved. We don't limit the filenames (except to platform standards and to include a file type extension).

Can you extract higher resolutions from Smart Objects or Linked Smart Objects?

When I am designing at 1x resolution, can I extract assets from smart objects or linked smart objects for 2x or more? If so, how do they scale up?

Yes with caveats.
PSD and Illustrator smart objects are also re-rendered and smoothly scaled to the requested resolution.
Other smart objects (including those with filters) are only scaled up from the resolution they are at within the Photoshop file. If you want them to re-render, you can paste them at 100% resolution into a linked smart object and get the smooth scaling.

Select objects inside a shape

Hello!
Im looking for a way to export a pattern made in Illustrator to auto cad.
I would like to select objects inside a shape based on the shape.
As you can see here i would like to select all the objects inside the blue circle, and delete everything outside of it. I dont want to use a cliping mask as it does not really destory the objects outside the
circle. Any help would be much appreciated.
/Jakob

Jakob,
You may use careful manual cutting (using Smart Guides) along the circle and grumble over the lack of easy ways to do it properly on open paths.
Or you may do the destructive deed, with the Clipping Mask selected:
1) In the Transparency palette/panel dropdown list select anything but Normal (Multiply is fine),
2) Object>Flatten Transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% Vector,
3) Shudder.
This should reduce the size to the Bounding Box of the Clipping Path.
It makes a bit of a mess out of the mesh (strokes are outlined to become filled paths); it has the (dis)advantage of cutting each path end at the actual angle of the Clipping Path (the circle).

How can I change the color of a object inside a symbol?

Hello!
I'm working on this study and I need to change the color of an object inside a symbol when I click another object.
The object is called "bola", wich is inside the symbol "ponto" and the clicking object are the colored pencils (each pencil should change the color of the symbol's object, giving the impression you'd selecting a different pencil to draw).
I think it's simple to understand what I mean when you see the files.
I already tried this line on click event of the pencils, but it didn't work:
sym.getSymbol("ponto").$("bola").css("color","#123456");
Anyone knows how to make that work?
I would like to improve the experience of drawing as well. I made it with the "mousedown" event. Is that a better way to get a similar effect?
My files
Thanks a lot,
Clayton F.

Ok here is another sample:
http://www.meschrene.puremadnessproductions.net/Samples/HELP/LapisB/Lapis.html
http://www.meschrene.puremadnessproductions.net/Samples/HELP/LapisB/Lapis.zip
You need to create a var that changes the css background color..
Hopefully you can understand what I did...
The text I left showing so that you could see it change...
I updated the files and all colors should work now.

Service objects inside libraries (WAS: Interfaces in Forte -has anyon

The following message is actually not about interfaces, but libraries:
> From: Jeanne Hesler <[email protected]>
> To: [email protected] <[email protected]>
> Date: Thursday, July 30, 1998 11:12 AM
> Subject: RE: Interfaces in Forte - has anyone used them?
>>
> Just to clarify a few things:
>>
1) Just to be 100% correct -- it is actually Libraries that areloaded and
not Interfaces. The distinction is important because a librarycould
potentially implement many interfaces (or provide manyimplementations for a
single interface).
2) The code in a Library may reference a service object, but itmay not
define a service object. Of course any SO's referenced by thelibrary
must already be known to the loading partition. It is OK to havecode like
this in a library:
MySO.doSomething();
The documentation is a little vague on this point, but I haveconfirmed that
this is true through Tech Support and by experimentation.
Actually you CAN define and use service objects inside libraries
(compiled or interpreted) with two restrictions:
1) You can not define two service objects inside library in different
projects and call one of them from another. If you need that, both
service objects must be in the same project.
2) If service object is defined and used only by library (if it never
referenced directly by application code), than in order to be able to
partition application, you will need to create dummy method inside
application, which will reference this service object (you do not need
to execute this method - just have in the code).

The way stateful Web services are currently handled is through the use of cookies ... once your stub invokes a stateful Web service a cookie is created which routes subseqent requests back to the Web service.
In your scenario, the problem is given one client has creates Web service 1 and now Web service 2 would like to be able to use that state it really isn't possible unless you engineer a solution yourself ... you would need so somehow set the cookie on your Web service 2 client to that of the original client to Web service 1. State tends to be based around an individual client versus multiple clients for that state.
There are numerous ways around this but you would be engineering around the issue ... the easiest is to write the state out somewhere so that it can be shared.
This section of the doc gives a brief overview:

Lastly be aware there is a bug with timeouts in stateful Web services in Oracle9iAS 9.0.3 that has been fixed in 9.0.4. I can't find the thread here that documents it but when I track it down I will post the link so you can see the workaround.
