Problem with custom brush

To the right,.

I'm trying to make a brush in Photoshop CS5. I followed a tutorial in which I wrote a signature on the background layer using the freeform pen tool, created a new layer and stroked on this path with a brush, and added a second layer with a background piece (also made with a brush). I then merged these two layers, selected components of the new layer, turn off the visibility of the background layer and then Edit > define the predefined shape.

This is where the problem arises, as 'set preset shape' option is greyed out. I checked some other tutorials and explained that in order to use the 'Set preset shape' option, I had to have only the layer I want to make a visible brush as well as the selected components - which is exactly what I have, but the option is still grayed out.

I tried to do with the two layers separate and not merged and the hidden background layer, and once again the option is grayed out. I also tried to delete the background piece that I had done and just layer by selecting the layer with the path while hiding the background layer, but the option is still grayed out.

I am at a loss on how to enable "set predefined shape." Could someone please advise on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much

    OK, here is my situation, I have a project that I used a few custom brushes.

    Thank you

    P.S. I DON'T ask if I can use these brushes custom on another computer, I ask if work that I created on a computer with custom brushes can be seen on another computer, just to clarify.

    Brushes incorporate composite like any other type of object data when the PDF compatibility option is active. The appearance will remain intact. It may simply be impossible to change things.

  • Problem with custom "CTRL + <" shortcut in Photoshop CS6 or CC (Windows 7).

    Hello

    I have a problem with a shortcut customized in Photoshop CS6 and CC. It works fine in Photoshop CS5.

    I put the "CTRL + <" shortcut to the command "flatten image." I use it for years, so it's difficult to change my habits of . I saved the shortcuts and everything works fine until I have restart Photoshop.

    After restarting Photoshop, the shortcut is automatically set on "CTRL + &"! I edited the file ".kys" where my custom shortcut is saved, and the file is good:


    < control type = "static" id = "1141" name = "Flatten image" >


    < shortcut > Ctrl + & lt; < / shortcut >

    I maybe it might be a problem with the custom workspace that also store shortcuts but this file is fine too.

    I don't really know how this is possible because the files are correct... Photoshop saves this values elsewhere?

    I would really appreciate help with this.

    Thank you

  • Problems with custom events

    I'm trying to figure out this problem I'm having with custom events, I've read all the documents and tutorials that I can find, and this bit still makes no sense.

    I have the following configuration:

    LoginForm: custom component (which is created as a popup via the PopupManager)
    ApplicationHeader: custom component (which is added to the MXML application)
    application: creates the LoginForm as a popup via the PopupManager, has ApplicationHeader defined in the MXML.

    When a user logs in the LoginForm dispatches an event customized, there are two defined listeners:

    1. in the application:

    private void showLoginForm(): void {}
    var loginForm:LoginForm = LoginForm (PopUpManager.createPopUp (this, LoginForm, true));
    loginForm.addEventListener (UserLoggedInEvent.USERLOGGEDINEVENT, userLoggedInHandler);
    }

    2. in the component custom of ApplicationHeader :

    private function init (): void {}
    parent.addEventListener (UserLoggedInEvent.USERLOGGEDINEVENT, userLoggedInHandler);
    }

    When the event is dispatched the request listener picks it up as expected, however the listener inside the custom component sees ever-even if the event is set to bubble.

    The only way I managed to get this working is to do the following in the application:

    private void userLoggedInHandler (event:UserLoggedInEvent.USERLOGGEDINEVENT): void {}
    // .. the event handling logic
    the return of the event
    dispatchEvent (event);
    }

    This makes no sense at all, what happens if I didn't want the application to handle the event itself. There is a line in the documentation of the event
    who says "You can only save a listener of events with an object if that object dispatches the event." who could explain it, but it is still absurd.

    Any help/tips/examples would be most useful as I am pulling my hair out here.

    Never mind, I just read this post ( http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=60&catid=585&threadid = 1257178 & highlight_key = y & keyword1 = custom % 20components) and I was pointed in the right direction - I had to add the metadata for the event to the application.

    Kuba

    Hello Kuba,

    I have a quick look in your message. For the moment I can solve one of your questions. The text of the panelBox header that you use skin:

     af|panelBox::header-element { color:White; } 
    

    Is on the white space, the 'skins/zilprcskin/img/tab-start.gif' image enough width? I use the same selectors (af | panelBox:header - departure: kernel: default af | panelBox:header - Centre: core: by default, af | panelBox:header - end: core: by default) and it works for me (but I'm not using an image, the only background color). Probably you need to change the width of header-early, restricting the scope and the lengthening of the Center header.

    As Simon said, Firebug is very useful to do this :)

  • Problems with custom HTML form entry

    Hey everybody. I try to include form fields of seizure of custom text in my Web site. It is and tiself is not a problem. I add an HTML object and insert the code.

    (However, I would like that there are 2 different styles 1) = > text background and gray and 2 white) = > blue background and white text. But as soon as I announced a form of the second type, the first chages to.

    What happens / how can I change this?

    Capture2.JPG

    Here is my code:

    1. < style type = "text/css" >

    form {make: 12px Lato, arial; make-weight: bold; color: #ffffff ;}}

    input {background-color: #0099ff; width: 220px; height: 24 PX; float: left; font: 14px Lato, arial; color: #ffffff; height: 25px ;}}

    < / style >

    < are method = "post" action = "send_form_email.php" >

    < input type = "text" name = "corevalue2" value = "You can count on me" / > < br / >

    < / make >

    (2) < style type = "text/css" >

    form {make: 12px Lato, arial; make-weight: bold; color: #333333}

    input {background-color: #ffffff; width: 547px; height: 24 PX; float: left; font: 14px Lato, arial; color: #333333; height: 25px ;}}

    < / style >

    "< are method ="post"action =" ">."

    " < input type ="text"name ="target4"value =" ' target4 ' / > < br / >

    < / make >

    I do not see the same behavior, made some changes in the code as target value is not defined.

    Muse is rendered the same value, as inserted in the code, but are made to a few changes with the code then this could cause the problem.

    Thank you

  • Problem with custom in an ActionScript component events

    All,

    I hope that my question is quite minor and front right to sort but for the life of me I can't understand it.

    I wrote an ActionScrip component that performs a logic (transformation of coordinates grographic).  Treatment can take a while and relies on calls to a number of server-based processes which are all works well.  The process of transformation of coordinates is started with a call to a public method in the main application component.

    helyx package
    {

    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.EventDispatcher;

    Import mx.controls.Alert;
    Import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;

    [Event (name = "gridConverted_success" type = "flash.event.Event")]

    public static const SUCCESS: String = "gridConvert_success";

    SerializableAttribute public class GridConverter extends EventDispatcher
    {

    private void projectCompleteHandler(event:GeometryServiceEvent):void
    {

    / * logic to fill the _mgrsGrid variable * /.


    var eventObject:GridConverted = new GridConverted (GridConverted.SUCCESS);
    eventObject.mgrsGrid = _mgrsGrid;
    dispatchEvent (eventObject);

    }

    }

    In addition to the ActionScript component which respects the transformation logic I also coded a separate custom event that returns the output of the transformation to the main application:

    helyx package
    {
    import flash.events.Event;

    SerializableAttribute public class GridConverted extends Event
    {
    public static const SUCCESS: String = "gridConvert_success";

    public void GridConverted (type: String, bubbles: Boolean = false, cancelable: Boolean = false)
    {
    Super (type, bubbles, cancelable);
    }

    public var mgrsGrid:String;

    }
    }

    In the main application that starts the process, I have the following code to add a listener for the event:

    private function init (): void
    {

    / * other logics... * /.

    addEventListener (GridConverter.SUCCESS, gridConvertedHandler);

    }

    private void gridConvertedHandler(event:Event):void
    {
    txtGrid.text = gridConverter.mgrsGrid ();
    }

    My problem is that, while there is no error thrown 'gridConvertedHandler' is never called in response to the call 'dispatchEvent() '.

    Grateful for any thoughts...

    Tony

    You have added an event listener to the main application class which is not the one that actually dispatches the event. The auditor should be added to the instance of your GridConverter class.

    private function init (): void
    {

    / * other logics... * /.

    myGc. addEventListener (GridConverter.SUCCESS, gridConvertedHandler);

    }

                        }
    

    Its do not call the dialog box, can anyone suggest me how to get the index of the choice that I chose to say YES or NO and to perform tasks accordingly

    Plese try suite

    CustomDialog d = new CustomDialog(Dialog.D_YES_NO,"Do you want to exit",Color.BLUE,140);

  • Problem with custom library

    Hello

    I am building a library that I want to include in a project I'm working on that. I had the pot for the file, deleted the MIDP line that usually causes errors and check the file.

    The thing is that now I want to include this library with a project and when I add it in Eclipse, then select the export option (I want to include it inside my cod files) I get an error saying the pot "not exportable because some inside class was eviscerated."

    I think that this is due to the fact that my use of the rim library classes protected (requiring the signature), but I'm not really sure.

    Any idea on how to solve the problem? Thank you

    When you build the library jar, you will have to build it be used as a 3rd party jar, otherwise it is, as you have fouind, eviscerated.  This explains the process:
