How to align layers with scripts?

Hey people,

Maybe a little bit easy question, but I didn t find anything on the web to date.

I want to line up a few layers as with the Panel in "alignment" after effects interface. The goal is to vertical center forms.

Is it possible to do this without writing the calculation by myself?

See you soon

Lol you need to use the method of sourceRectAtTime() (available for any AVLayer) layers to understand the size and placement of the layers and then do the math yourself.

How to align layers on work plans

Hello community,
I try to vertical center align a layer with the rectangle branding tool, but the layer always align to the artboard?
Hope for help,
Lars

Lars salvation,

What you try to align the layer for? You can align it with the canvas/work plan (if only a layer is selected in the layers panel), either from another layer (if two or more layers are selected in the layer panel). You can't align it with a selection.

If you need to align a rectangular selection, create a new temporary empty layer and fill the selection with this layer. Next, align the target to your new temporary layer layer.

I hope that helps!

How to align layers based on a specific layer

Hello.
I just watched this tutorial explaining everything by aligning the layers: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/how-to/photoshop-align-images-multiple-layers.html#
But, how do I align layers based on a specific layer? Let's say I have a layer about one-third from the left. I have 3 other layers, by going to halfway all the way to the right, I want to be centered based on this layer which is one third of the left, how should I do this? I want to use a specific layer as an anchor for the rest of the layers, regardless of the position of the layer anchor.
I hope I'm using the right words, explaining what I want to do.
Deon

You can link layers and use one for the sorting of the anchor to speak.

Maybe if you posted a screenshot of what you want to do.

In any case, here is an example.

Select the layer, press the layers of link at the bottom of the layers panel and then click on the layer in the layers panel, you want to use as anchor.

Select the tool, then use the alignment buttons to align the blue layer in this example.

Can also be used benchmarks commented to align the layers.

How to properly interact with script files?

Hi all .
I want to make sure that after a treatment in the script changed State of control elements (buttons, input fields). But access to the Properties something got only in main.js. Et treatment in most will be in the file hostscript. jsx .
For example, btn_test1 does not show Properties, and btn_test1 Watch. How to interact with js files and How to access the properties of objects in the resource file hostscript. jsx

Thanks for the quick response. I found a solution... Jsx file returns 'result' = button name blocked, which is applied to the element. For a single key, just for a few - have need to pass an array

HTML

JS

$("#btn_test1").click (function () {}

csInterface.evalScript ('sayHello ()', {function (result)})

document.getElementById ("result") .disabled = true;

});

JSX

function SayHello () {}

Return ("btn_test2");

How to copy layers with objects as new objects

Hey guys, no there's a good chance I'll be here, but thick:

How to duplicate a layer so that I can change it with the objects of the old layer being affected? There must be a really easy way?
I did a lot of research of this forum and google and have failed to find anything.
Any help appreciated,
Thank you.

Yes, if you copy all objects frameworks in these frames are duplicated.

How to align subregions, with other primary areas

I use Apex 5.0.2 and I have a relationship with the 4 main regions of the html and 2 html under regions. The image what it looks like now can be found below:
Subregion of L and R sub-region is under a parent called area 2(which is a region with no title).
The purpose of having the Subregion L and R subregion is because they must be presented side-by-side.
My problems is that L subregion is shifted to the right in a way and I tried to play with the Column Atrributes and attributes of the region , but it doesn't seem to work.
How do L subregion in line with other major regions? Thank you!

It depends on the theme you are using (it does not resemble universal theme). Use a toolbar developer to look at the CSS used for the subregion. For example, in a universal theme, it's the CSS that adds the padding:

There are several ways to change this. If it's just for this page, you can add CSS inline to the page:

This will change this:

How to highlight an array of layers Extend script for sequels (as the mouse)?

Can someone please share how to select a layer in after effects, like the mouse click.
var activeItem = app.project.activeItem;
var curTime = app.project.activeItem.time;
var myLayers = activeItem.layers;
var layersAtTime = [];
for (i = 1; i < = myLayers.length; i ++) {}
{if (myLayers [i] .activeAtTime (curTime))}
layersAtTime [layersAtTime.length] = myLayers [i];
}
}
for (j = 0; j < layersAtTime.length; j ++) {}
layersAtTime [j]. ???
}
Now how to highlight layers in the layersAtTime table in after effects just like the mouse click Select. ??

If you do not need to do other thing with these layers (IE if you want only to select), you can simply do:

for (i = 1; i<>

myLayers [i] .selected = myLayers [i] .activeAtTime (curTime);

};

He made sure no active layers are not selected.

I want to align the labels to right using CSS:

.form *.label {
  -fx-alignment: right;
  -fx-font-weight: bold;
  -fx-hpos: right;
  -fx-text-alignment: right;
  -fx-text-wrap: true;
}

However I have not found any way to align the labels in the GridPane using CSS, or - fx-alignment: right, - fx-node-hpos: right. -fx-hpos: right. -fx-text-alignment: seem to work well...

The only way to make it work is to define the attribute of each label Grid.halignment:

                <Label text="HTML Mail" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.columnSpan="2" GridPane.halignment="right" GridPane.rowIndex="7" />

But what happens if I want to change that at a later stage-> I need to change this attribute for each node.

How can align the labels to right using CSS only?

Currently CSS in JFX cannot really be used for layout page (or calibration). This is one of those grey areas between what is style (which should be in the CSS) and what is layout (which should be in the FXML). I think I remember Richard mentioning once in a forum or an article that he did not want to add alignment stuff to the CSS at a certain point, but don't quote me on that. You might have a search through Kenai to see if there is a feature request for it and if not add one.

Perhaps you could it with fake labels stretch to fill the available space in the GridPane. For this, you need to disable the restriction of maximum size (setMaxWidth and setMaxHeight to Integer.MAX_VALUE) and ensure your forced GridPane are such that the label will fill the cell. Once you have a stretched label alignment will come into play as the text is aligned relative to the area of the label (as opposed to a manager that aligns the entire label compared to its parent). I think that put a border on the label when debugging to work on what's going on.

Another less confined but more flexible alternative might be to use variables in your FXML files. You can do this in a number of ways. We must create a bean that has all the variables of your on it with accessors get and then you can move it to your charger FXML namespace and then reference it by using things like ${myConstants.gridAlignment}. Another is to create static methods on a class that a node, these can then be called from the FXML using a notation similar to GridPane.alignment. This second approach only works for things where you want to work directly on the node, but for your scenario which should be ok I think. And then there is always the option to activate a script language in your FXML, allowing you to perform more nothing.

Hope that helps,

I'm not sure that I am an expert in typography, but, having created nearly 1.5 (or same 1.6) fonts, I learned that each of them have their own settings (like the ascenders, descenders etc.)... Ripheriques align letters with zero police line. But in Flex, we deal with text fields, which are created for letters with their tops and tails (which have different lengths in different font sizes)...

Yet less skilled in Flex, I'm not sure that there is an automatic proper solution...

But you can align it manually by adding some padding (at least it works...)

protected function application1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void {}

title.setStyle ("fontSize", 30)

subtitle.setStyle ("fontSize", 14)

P.S. I don't know why, but complete Manager for creating application wouldn't work, so I had to add font size definitions...
