One way to detect opacity masks?

Is it possible to access or detect an existing opacity via the script mask? (I saw a couple of similar questions in 2013 and I was wondering if something had changed in CC2015.)

My question is this: I wrote an Extension that automates several tasks of pre-press on files sent by customers. The client files sometimes contain masks, opacity, and whenever the script moves or rotates work, the content of the mask do not move with the rest of the art, causing the incorrect file. Sometimes, these errors can be subtle so that they go unnoticed until the customer sees (and it's uppercase BAD). I've been looking for a way to control, or even just to detect, a mask opacity of a script without success. If this is not possible, the community has found another way to move or turn the work while retaining the opacity masks, without the need to directly access?

Thank you!

With CS6 + I think it would be possible, in only a few specific situations, to detect the opacity mask by flattening an object and taking a count of the items before and after. To flatten, you probably need to record an action to flatten transparency and play from the script, that's what I did. The opacity mask is developing a group of Clip element, with all the stuff in it, and the clip group appears as the top inside an object group that contains all flattened artwork.

Then, I would suggest trying to use effects or something, to rotate art.
However, I noticed that I could simply record an action to make and release the opacity mask. This means that CS6 + you can go through the elements and release/make opacity masks, perhaps freeing, spin and make the whole mask again.

Question

What is the best way to detect that the text typed by the user (or added programmatically) exceeds the available space container and find where the truncated part begins? There are others (as described below) highlights the easy way to detect or to prohibit controllers to receive more characters that can be displayed in the area of publication given?

My attempt partially (Simplified)

For example, lets say I have a textflow editable with joints two instances of ContainerController.

var flow:TextFlow = createSomeFlowFromGivenString(sampleText),
    firstController = new ContainerController(firstSprite, 100, 30),
    lastController = new ContainerController(secondSprite, 600, 30);


flow.interactionManager = new EditManager(new UndoManager());
flow.flowComposer.addController(firstController);
flow.flowComposer.addController(lastController);

flow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();

Vertical scroll policy enabled I can compare the height of the composition in the last controller with the height of the content:

var bounds:Rectangle = lastController.getContentBounds(),
    overflow:Boolean =  lastController.compositionHeight < bounds.height;

trace('Content does not fit into given area?', overflow)

But when I change of vertical scroll policy off (lastController.verticalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.OFF)-Unfortunately this does not work anymore... (In my case scroll must be disabled, since the text boxes can have only one line with narrow width)

Use cases

I want to create the form to fill out. Field can have one or more lines. A field could start in the middle of the page, continue in the following line, where it spreads throughout the page and put an end to the third line - long quarter of the width of the page. Text typed by the user may not exceed given the region since it could cover some static text that is located just after in below field.

Something like ascii image below:

--------------------------------------------
|                <PAGE>                    |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|               [Field starts here........ |  
| ........................................ |
| ........................................ |
| Ends here..]                             |
|                                          |
|                                          |
| [Another field] xxxx  xxxx xxxxxxxx x xx |
| xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx                      |
|                                          |
|                              [One more.. |
| .....]                                   |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
--------------------------------------------

Info:

 [......]  <-- form fields starts with '[' character, and ends with ']'
 xxx       <-- sample, static text
 | and _   <-- page borders

If you want to detect the overflow in the final container, there is another thread discussed before.

You can detect it with lastContainerController.absoluteStart + lastContainerController.textLength «»<>

opacity mask - is never completely 0%

HI, I have a hard time with the opacity mask - he always leaves an advantage. I can't get really invisible.
I have a solid square.
I add an opacity mask.
I put a white on black gradient.
The edge is not fade completely nothing. He begins to maybe 5%, even though I have change the black to half way through.
It does in my head - someone knows how to get around it?

Is it possible that you use black only.

Try to use CMYK (100% in 4 colors) and see what happens.

You can sometimes get interesting results to play with color opacity masks.

Never opacity mask is 100% transparent object

Hello
I ve you have strange problem with opacity mask.
I want to object to gradiently from 0% to 100% of transparency - and it works and is displayed correctly - unless I result raster in Photoshop. Then, it looks like the left side of the attached photo - object is never 100% transparent. If I raster via Adobe Acrobat file, the result is correct, as shown on the right side of the image.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks for your help

I can easily reproduce the bug, and that's what it's a bug.

If you copy and paste or even if you place the pdf file and I guess the Illustrator into a photoshop document file and probably open the Illustrator file in Photoshop, you will get the same result, it will not disappear to full transparency.

But there is a work around which is in the file > export > then open Photoshop or pace that docuent and everything will be as expected.

You do not have something wrong, it's a bug.

How happened so long without anyone noticing it is beyond me, and I'd say it's a bug in Photoshop, but it is unlikely that they will admit it

and therefore export to psd rather than paste, place or opening in Photoshop is the work around.

Place or open the pdf in Photoshop will not work because of the way translated photoshop mask too thin way so that Illustrator export to psd very well. This is why I call it a problem of Photoshop.

Sorry, but being the Webmail of Yahoo leaves me without a clue. Maybe Internet Explorer forum or Yahoo support might be more useful.

No way to detect if the wrong password is entered

As we know, on blackberry, the user could configure the device to wipe once the incorrect password is entered after certain times such as 10.

Just wonder if there is a way to detect the wrong password entered the java code, our application wants to perform logic it when a wrong password. I did some research on the internet and can't find anything on it. I guess I'm just trying my luck on the case than any how knows something.

Thanks in advance.

No, there is no api for this.

How to set up a one-way IPSec-L2L tunnel

This may be a silly question, since VPN for communications between the parties of confidence and that most people would try to correct a unidirectional tunnel.

But I'm interested to transform a regular one-way only, tunnel that traffic to my side can initiate the tunnel.

Recently, we built this tunnel between our ASA5510 and ASA5510 of our biz partner to run critical applications on their web servers not connected to the Internet. I want to tie down so that they cannot launch the VPN. I have the crypto ACL set to limit to a port address, so they can only come from this port once the tunnel is established. We also have a personal firewall installed on each host.

Any idea on how to make the one-way tunnel and protect also us better once the tunnel is mounted?

Hello

You can use the following command:

defined card crypto seq - num connection-type name {only answer | only | two-way}

This command defines whether the tunnel is come only or single answer. If you set the tunnel on your side to come alone, the asa will never accept the installation of tunnel from your business partner. However, you can still start the configuration of the vpn tunnel.

Check:

http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/partner/docs/security/ASA/asa80/command/reference/C5.html#wp2152576

Even if the reference is to ASA8.0 I know it works for 7.2.x so

Hope this helps

Kind regards

One-way video problem

Hello

We have two expressways and we have received a report of a company, call one of our sites had issues with one-way video. The appellant could not see the person they had composed, but they could see the appellant. Audio was OK. They were ordered to place a new call through our other expressway and all audio and video works just fine. So, I'm trying to understand if there is a difference between highways and why this happens. They run every two X8.1.1. The strange thing is that we only received from an enterprise report then having this problem through this "faulty" highway is us or them? Apparently, they do not have problems with one another that they make calls...

Looks like maybe it's time to collect newspapers... but everyone else encountered this? No I well confused everyone :)

Thank you!

In general I really wouldn't expect things to need to a few reboots to register.

Well sure a typical tech & response of the TAC will be "upgrading to the last" which I also recommended,.

but your symptoms still its a bit sketchy.

Its a good start to check if your firewall/network/dns /... are ok as well. A lot of questions

are hidden there. It is difficult to see the full extend of here.

Please get some internal or as a good Cisco partner or network resources.

And Yes, look in the upgrade to CUCM!

But the network / the environment should still be ok for that as well :-)
