• Help with a clipping mask and text!

  

  This was really frustrating me.

  Design of this logo at the mo - the circle is a form and the L is just type on a separate layer on top with the same color as the background. What I want, it's to make the cut in the circle so that it is essentially transparent, where I can place on any color background and L will mix it naturally without color cast of 'L' evolving.

  Any ideas guys? With the help of CS5. I'd appreciate any help.

  Hello

  One way is to put your text and circle in a layer set, then together the mix Options: custom to zero fill and Knockout at shallow depth.

  The layer that lies directly under the layer group appear throughout the text.

• Hello need help with the opacity mask.

  Hello need help with the opacity mask. I hope someone out there can help

  I inherited a logo that appears to use a Logo of OM has a shape with a grad. This grad at first sight is not used in the Grad scheme and there is not editable.  Looking at the transparency palette I find an OM (pic1) output option. If I choose what the grad on separates it from the page of the form, that is from there I can change/remove as required (Note2).

  However, sometimes (he did no change), I'll be back to the same original form and output option is grayed out and is no longer available. Or I go to the similar shape that has the same treatment and I can't go out OM (pic3)

  The only difference is the thumbnail in the transparency palette, which is strong in pic1 and rated on pic3. What Miss me?    I'm not clear what the advantage is simply OM using the Grad palette to apply a grad in my form, but until I can get rid of OM who is there, I can't comfortably apply to the grad I want.

  The white gradient LHS I have no problem with. I choose fortunately only and each time get the possibility of release of OM.
  

  

  The other thing weird. When I select the white gradient. Sometimes, the exit option is in the palette without going through the drop-down list (Fig 4).

  Other times seems not that OM has already been applied, because the palette gives me the ability to mask rather than liberation (5 photos). Until I go to the drop down and then I find Release is an option after all.

  What is the difference here?   Not much of a problem, because either way I can release OM to be able to change the grad.

  The file is passed through several hands and play anywhere to try to resolve issues, and many stops and save slot, so something along the line was of course done a logo and not the other because of the difference, but I can't for the life of me see what that.

  

  I hope someone can help. Very appreciated

  
  

  See you soon

  Dave,

  I've (mis) understanding the issues, you can account for the box to the right in the main palette transparency (called thumbnail) here.

  Illustrator help | Transparency and blending modes

  represents the masking objects.

  Some of your screenshots show no object mask, so it only is not really a mask even if do the opacity mask has been clicked and there seems to be one in the layers palette, wherever you look.

  I think that it is perhaps the issue.

• Deformation with a clipping mask

  Hello

  Does anyone know if there is a way to deform a clipping on the mask itself mask? Whenever I'm deforming a clipping mask, the borders of the curvature are on the edges of the work in the mask. And not on the mask itself. Often that it distorts the work adversely.

  Thanks in advance.

  Acidwire,

  To really clip based on a clipping (instead of start) mask, there is the dirty work of destructive, with the selected clipping mask:

  (1) in the drop-down list the palette/Panel transparency list select everything except Normal (Multiply is fine; this step may not be necessary in your version, you can try;

  (2) object > flatten transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% vector.

  (3) thrill.

• Best way to do with indesign clipping mask drawn vector shapes?

  What is the best way to create a clipping with vector art mask which is drawn inside indesign?

  I have a group of vector shapes to stick in a rounded corner box. This art is grouped.

  What I tried:

  -create the rounded corner box I want the art inside

  -cut art

  -Edition > paste inside

  It worked, but I didn't know how to move the work once it was pasted in the form. With the direct Selection tool, I could move individual objects, but not the Group of objects. Any ideas?

  What is the best way to do what I'm doing?

  Thank you!

  Yopu do not mention the version ID, which makes a difference here.

  Stick in there is correct. In CS5, you can then use the grabber donut content to move the group within the frame. In all versions, you should be able to choose the frame, then use object > select > content for the group, or use the button for the control panel. Before CS5, you need to use the arrow keys or grasp the central point with the mouse to move the group.

• Problem with the clipping mask

  I tried to create a clipping mask to cut out the background of an image, but after I created it there is always some parts of the background in the picture of rest. I'm only using Illustrator CS3.

  

  Your clipping mask must be a path composed of hide the object as follows.

• Adding stroke to text with a clipping mask

  I want to add a black border around the text, so it enhances the text.

  I made a rectangle and added black text above the rectangle and applied a mask and reversed and cut out the rectangle and the text.

  

  I tried to release the mask and apply a black line on the text, but when I remask and apply the clipping and reverse the race turns the same color as the text.

  Your comment "applied a mask and reversed and cut out the rectangle and the text" it seems that you use an opacity mask, not a clipping mask. Copy the text (without the mask), stick to the front, remove the fill, add line.

• Need help with movie clip display and timer

  I worked on a game in flash for the last couple days and this is my first major game so there was a lot of problems.  For those who have helped so far thanks so much!

  I think that I finally got it with a few exceptions, they are.

  1. the clip that serves as my pop-up window is popping up behind all my mobile icons.  I need over them of course.

  2. I need to find a simple way to stop time while the pop up is in place and to make up the time when she disappears.

  OR

  3. I need to add 5 seconds to the game clock when the user draws a question mark to make it appear as if the clock stopped.

  If someone has an incentive it would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

  This is my code of timer clock to date!

  onClipEvent (enterFrame) {}
  If (_root.time == 30) {}
  _root. TECH = 9;
  _root.intervaln = 30;
  }
  If (_root.time == 10) {}
  _root.intervalz = 10;
  }
  If (_root.time == 0) {}
  _root.gotoAndStop (3);
  }
  }

  Kapelski

  1. you should not set any code for an object.  all your code must be attached to frames or in classes.

  2. use swapDepths() to change the depth of a movieclip

  3. There is nothing in your code on a timer.

• Flash beginner needs help with Movie Clips/Action script

  HI -.
  
  I'm having a problem with my video clips playing simultaneously and cannot, for the life of me, know what I did wrong. I'm new to flash so I can I have created something wrong but this is what I have so far:
  
  11 layers, total: 1 layer with 10 buttons, each button with the following actionscript code:
  
  
  on (release) {}
  gotoAndPlay (85);
  }
  
  
  When the number changes with regard to keyframes, the next film is about.
  
  I have 10 films, total, but they are only video clips, mainly photo slideshow with audio, does everything in the library.
  
  The problem occurs when I click on the second or third button. Not only the movie I selected starts to play, but all previous clips are as well, he has completely blurred all the sounds. I don't know what Miss me in action script, as my Action layer has a stop command to this topic at each keyframe where there is a new clip to play.
  
  I tried to add a stopAllSounds command, but I'm afraid that does nothing because it is not an "audio file" in itself playing in the timeline panel.
  
  I'm at the end of my rope and really need help to understand this one. My project is hanging in the balance on this point, I wrote everything correctly and it works beautifully.
  
  Help, please!
  
  Thank you
  Caroline

  Start your sounds in frame 2 and place stopAllSounds() on each keyframe where begins a movieclip.

• Need quick help with a vector mask

  Hey, I'm going crazy with this seemingly simple task and cannot find the answer on Google. Thanks in advance.

  I have a red circle with a white arrow inside/on it. I want to create a vector mask that makes the whole image transparent where the arrow is, as if the red circle is a wall and the white arrow is a window. The rest should just be a red circle with an arrow inside hole. How can I do that using my existing forms?

  

  Hello

  It's pretty easy

  merge the two layers

  Select the white arrow in the Quick Selection tool and remove this part.

  Now, you'll get what you ask.

  You can create a copy of both layers first to test this.

• Help with a set of cut in an image/clipping mask

  Hello.

  I need to cut out circles in an image so that the background shows through. A bit like a clipping mask reverse... but I don't know if existing ones...  And once I have cut holes in the image I need to put on a mask of clipping on all this, so that only a part of the image is always on display with the cutting parts.

  Or I guess if I could find a way to create a weird shape clipping mask that would work as well.

  The image below is something like what I'm trying to accomplish just different image and the different sizes and locations of the cutting edge.

  

  bonnierod,

  If I understand correctly, in the right way, you can:

  (1) create the basic shape of the Clipping Path (the path to use for the clipping mask)

  (2) create cuts on top of it,

  (3) select) 1 and 2) and Pathfinder > less before.

  (Apply 4) 3).

• How to align the elements (groupItem) with clipping masks?

  I have a script which aligns a groupItemToBeAligned on a layer to an another referenceGroupItem on another layer, well. Problem comes when the groupItemToBeAligned consists of elements that have a clipping, masks just to help

  groupItemToBeAligned.position = referenceGroupItem.position;
  
  

  Does not work, he takes the position of all, what is the best method to align what is actually visible? I tried to use:

  var vBounds = referenceGroupItem.visibleBounds;
  x1 = vBounds[0];
  y1 = vBounds[1];
  x2 = vBounds[2];
  y2 = vBounds[3];
  groupItemToBeAligned.position = [x1, y1];
  
  

  Produces the same results unfortunately.

  Huzzah, once again! I can't express how much it helps to have the file you are editing. This version is perfectly aligned all work plans. I would like to know if you have any other questions. =)

  function align(){
      var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
      var aB = myDoc.artboards;
      var layers = myDoc.layers;

• How do you use this feature effectively (clipping masks?) Help

  Hello

  I've been using illustrator for awhile now, but I keep coming across this sort of thing in free vectors that I download. I enclose a simple file to illustrate this. My question is, how do they do that? How to create a circle inscribed in a circle in which the inner circle mask filling of the outside circle, but can also be repositioned and resized?

  I hope that makes sense! I tried very hard to understand this part of the Illustrator, but I can't get it. What is a characteristic of clipping mask? It's in the way that you save the file/create the file that allows you to do this?

  Anyway, any help is very appreciated. The vector below is extracted from http://www.freevector.com/grunge-apartment-vector/

  Part of the problem is that I do not know what we call this function/technique to finding help has been VERY difficult

  Thank you very much

• Need help with my video! Rhapsody can't find my Clip.

  I tried to reinstall the Rhapsody software and formatting my Clip and those which do not solve my problem.  I plug my video on usb and I find the clip in 'my computer '.  I opened Rhapsody with the Clip into the usb port, and the Clip does not appear in sources more.  The Clip used to work 100% good, but no more.  I cancelled the forceps to try to resolve the problem.  So the real problem is that I cancelled the clamp to fix the problem and now I can not find out how to get the Clip appears again in Rhapsody.  Under 'my account' Rhapsody says "no authorized device.  So I need help to get my Clip is displayed in 'my devices allowed' so that I can reactive it.  Any ideas?  I run Vista and also tried to run Rhapsody as an administrator.  Thank you!

  A few simple steps should get your device to communicate in MTP mode again.  It is the most common source of problems with Rhapsody.

  First of all, verify that Rhapsody is running correctly.  Open the 4 Rhapsody client and login.  Select a piece of music in the music guide and see if it reads normally.

  Connect the clamp and take a look at the sources of pand in the upper left corner.  How the Clip appears?

  If it lists as E: SANSA CLIP all in capital letters, with a drive letter, the device is in MSC mode and cannot accept Rhapsody subscription titles.  It can accept purchased securities, that they contain no DRM as MP3 files.  Unplug the unit and switch to MTP mode manually:

  Settings > USB Mode > MTP.

  If the device appears as a Sansa Clip 4 GB for example, with caps and smalls, without a drive letter, Windows recognizes the device as a media device.

  If Rhapsody sees the devivce as shown above, try to right click on the device and select allow.  Transfers should be possible.

  If it does not appear as a MTP device, leave the connected device (after manually select MTP mode) and go to the Device Manager.  [Windows key] + [pause button], then Hardware tab > Device Manager.

  Look for the yellow triangle.  The Clip appears in the portable device, or Bus USB controllers tree.  Select Uninstall (not turn off!), unplug, restart the computer and after it restarts, try to connect again from the PSG.
