• Question of mask - only allowing the mask be moved in an instance

  Hello

  I set up a game, where the user must guess which photo is by moving a small hole/portal.  I used the mask feature to do this and managed to fix the portal to the mouse.  However, I must stop the mouse by dragging the portal when the cursor moves outside the image / instance.  This is so the user can then press buttons to return to the main menu, etc..

  Here's the code I used to fix the portal

  onClipEvent (load) {}

  startDrag ("", true);

  Mouse.hide ();

  }

  Hope that all directions (doubtful!).  Would be great if someone can help me.

  See you soon,.

  There are a few things you could do.  If you are looking for the startDrag function, you will see how it includes additional parameters that you specify for limiting the draggable area for the object.  In addition, using these same limits in a slightly different way, with an onMouseMove event handler, you can set up conditionals that detect when the mouse leaves the area so that you can run the stopDrag() function.

• question about mask

  I use the charger to charge two photo, such as 1. jpg and 2.jpg, like follows:

  _p1 = new Pic ("1.jpg");
  _p2 = new Pic ("2.jpg");

  Next, I add the photo two in a Sprite, as follows:

  _G Sprite = new Sprite();

  _g.addChild (_p1);

  _g.addChild (_p2);

  Then I draw a circle as _g masks as _c

  _g.mask = _C;

  I want to achieve as a result of effect. Appear first 2.jpg, and for the radius of _c mask extends from 0 to 300, 1.jpg photo appeared of synchronously in mask _c.

  How to make code above?

  I thank.

  If you mean you want to have _p2 loaded first and completely visible, then have _p1 appear gradually through having _c gradually increase in size, then you must have _p2 loaded into something other than _g if you go to mask _g and load _p1 in _g.

  To make the _c to grow gradually you can use an interpolation of actionscript.  The Tween class is the most readily available.

• A big question: timers, masking layers, etc.

  Well, I know I asked a lot of questions lately, and it's because many aspects of flash is confusing to me, but I feel I'm learning a lot as well. I think this is my last question for this game because once I get this down my game will be more or less complete.

  Very well. Here's my problem, and I have no idea how to do to start.

  My Start menu is a button of start, Instructions and credits. I can work on the instructions and credits later, but I have some problems. I know I'm asking a lot here, but I don't know where to start then same useful tidbits would be most appreciated.

  Timers

  Basically, the main game has timers that spawn enemies flying at you. This is one of the many timers I

  enemyTimer += 1;
  If (enemyTimer > 5)
  {
  enemyTimer = 0;
  _root.attachMovie ("Enemy", "Enemy" + _root.getNextHighestDepth (), _root.getNextHighestDepth ());
  }

  and of course, I defined enemyTimer and set it to 0 on the part of the onload function. Powering other enemy timers, timers etc. are essentially the same.

  The thing is that (I hid it all layers except those necessary to the start menu, but I still have enemies, bonuses and various other things fly across the screen)

  I don't know how to do to be able to stop all the timers at the beginning and once you press the Start button to begin the timers (enemyTimer += 1 ;))

  Layer display

  (this one should be relatively easy to solve it for you guys )

  I know how to hide and show layers, but I don't know how to make sure some layers are revealed at some point of the game, or with the click of a mouse, etc.

  onMouseDown = function

  {

  ???

  }

  It is my understanding that you can hide individual video clips using Boolean variables, but I don't know how to hide layers together... Is there a way around this or do I have to hide each individual movie clip?

  ---------------

  This should be it thanks for all your help guys, and I really hope that this game turns out well

  -Spaghetee

  It is best that you keep sections separate from the issues also separate... it helps people who maybe have a search for a solution.

  You need to hide/show all objects, you can not hide/show layers as a run-time activity.  If the design allows it, you can place all the objects inside a movieclip and then control the visibility of this movieclip instead of control individual objects.

  Hello world

  I have an urgent question, who need your help. I have a Portege M00 tablet pc at home, and the Portege M200 LCD screen is covered with a protective mask. But yesterday I closed the laptop without notching of the pen between the screen and the keyboard. now the protective mask had been broken and the screen of the laptop is ok. So I want to know is - can I change the cracked by a new protective mask?
  Has anyone experience this? Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I think it should be possible to replace this protective mask.
  But I put t found any offers on the web.
  I recommend you ask the service partner to help him. Maybe he can order this mask of protection for you.

• Help! Question of layer mask and reverse brush colors

  For days now, I was unlucky in my quest to find an answer as to why my brushes became out of whack. When I use a brush and paint on the same area, the colors are reversed in this area! Ive set brush settings by default, but the question will not let me be! Layer masks have become another issue. The white rush works but not the black. Opacity and flow is set to 100. Please help because nobody has found an answer.

  You can post a screenshot? Looks like your blending mode of the brush is put on the screen and not normal.

• Question about the functionality of vector mask

  Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to Photoshop CS 5 so I apologize if I'm asking the wrong type of questions, here goes:

  When you work with vector masks you can:

  (1) "the link" or a vector mask with the other images? ' sharing ' a picture (for example) if I did 'A Building' then duplicated, but wanted to change what build a looked like, I have to only change the mask of the source, then the copies would be updated.

  (2) move the independent image of the vector mask (it seems that I can only move the vector mask, not the image itself). Or in other words: I can move the image and have the mask to follow, instead of being only able to move the vector mask within the limits of the image?

  My application of the question:

  I do a top-down 2D layout of a zone of type "Paste". I did to fill the buildings, building A, B, C, etc. and use multiple copies of each building. Ideally, I would like to be able to 'link' or share say building has a vector mask with all other instances of building A (so that when I change the master, they all change to the new form of mask). The second behavior I have trying to find is the ability to move without moving layer where the vector mask is on this layer (since it seems that you can only move where the mask is, which means that even if I could share masks, they all finish by in the same sense of place I have to re - position each hand again.)

  Any ideas are appreciated, thank you for reading.

  Yes, it's possible, but not with the classic system layer vector mask in Photoshop. Layer masks are part of a layer and not the layers themselves, so that they can be converted into a reusable object.

  The solution is to avoid vector layer masks and use a clipping/layer instead mask. A clipping/layer mask CAN be converted into a smart object that is reusable, and when you change one, all the other instances are also changing.

  The second part of the solution is to convert the layers contained both the clipping/layer to a smart object mask. Then the batch group. By the way, if your buildings are made up of several elements simply to include these additional elements in the clipping group. Another advantage is that each of the elements may still have its own normal layer mask. Win win situation. And layer effects can be applied to layers/clipping masks, once again what is impossible for layer masks. It also opens the doors to a much less destructive workflow.

  (2) move the independent image of the vector mask (it seems that I can only move the vector mask, not the image itself). Or in other words: I can move the image and have the mask to follow, instead of being only able to move the vector mask within the limits of the image?

  This is also solved with the use of layers/clipping masks - the content and the mask can be moved independently in regular layers. Another advantage is that the two can also be transformed individually.

  Any ideas are appreciated, thank you for reading.

  So here's my solution. I made a sample with two buildings, the view from above which could be reused as desired:

  (1) first of all create groups for each building and place the content to those. Then trace layer vector shapes on the content. Set the transparency for layers of mask to a reasonable of opacity for masking easier.

  

  (2) put the vector shape under the layer of content for each building. Then, for (1) and (2), , click on the border between the content and the shape layer. (for Mac), this will hide the enrichment of the content. (3) remember to layer for shape layers opacity to 100%!

  

  (3) then we will turn this building into recyclable items. Convert each content and layer to a smart object clipping mask. Then rename these layers of dynamic object into something sensible (honestly, I forgot to label the layers well earlier, but you catch my meaning here ;-)

  

  Fact! To clone each building, duplicate layer groups. For each instance that you can move the content (which is handy if you share multiple charts of building in the same bitmap or illustrator file), or you can decide to move the mask in place. Or both. It is the same for the transformation. Your choice. To move or transform a building, select the layer group.

  To change or modify the masks or the contents, double-click the smart object of your choice and make a few changes.

  Also, remember that you can insert additional elements in a clipping group by placing it over the first layer and then clipped by clicking again on the border between them. So, in theory, you could start building different looking buildings by adding other dynamic objects in clipping groups. The sky is the limit! In this way, you can create several building blocks to build various buildings with different looks. And still limit the number of blocks - and any update-able.

  Unfortunately, that's when the workflow breaks down a bit: due to the implementation of the object dynamic in Photoshop, you can't change the mask or the contents of the building in context - instead, it opens in its own window of file. This can be somewhat mitigated by placing the two windows side by side (window-> fix--> double vertical installation).

  This brings us to the second caveat: when you make a change, the changes are not updated in real time in the master document. You must first save it. Still a bit of a flow of work, but when same breaker... At least you now have a workflow not destructive instantiated.

  The content of the dynamic object can be replaced easily with a right-click of the mouse on the smart object layer itself. Or use a dynamic object referenced externally instead if you prefer to generate your buildings in an external application.

  BTW, the layer of Photoline system is much more logical and easier to use for this type of work. Layer masks behave like regular diapers. Layers, groups, masks, layers of external file and so forth can be practically cloned and instantiated as smart objects, but the main object is editable in the context, and all the other instances updated in real time. So, it is more convenient. At least this is my experience.

  I hope this has been helpful! Now go build your cities. :-)

  PS: I thought: isn't Illustrator or InDesign is a much more logical choice for this type of work where you need access to reusable blocks of content? It would also be a more efficient workflow and faster - Photoshop is not really designed for this type of work. Illustrator and InDesign provide potentially out of better quality. You can also divide your work into the pages and so on. Here again, you would probably lose the flexibility of smart objects.

• Movement of mask and the track Matte Question - why it doesn't work?

  Hi first gurus...

  I am able to use the first titration module - to create a mask - then the Luma put on the effect of TrackMatte to isloate a region of the video (I duplicated the original) which I am interested.

  -By of many tutorials/videos online, I've found.

  Question: Why - can I not use the mask / "exit" from the ThreeWayColorCorrector to do the same thing?

  Image - duplicate the clip - drop the ThreeWayColorCorrector - using "High color" mode - to isolate people form (from an extract of the interview);  the background is black... the contour hair root and the body of the interviewee is white.

  I get white/black - because I passed the exit of the ThreeWayColorCorrector to 'mask '...

  Now - when I drop this clip on my video editing - that I use for the TrackMatte effect - it does not work as I had expected, it could - at all...

  Very disappointing - it would have been a very powerful way - to create a mobile cache to work with the TrackMatte effect...

  If someone has done something like this before? Y at - it an easy solution - or a setting that I missed...

  This should work really - not?

  Some information:

  I work with a GreenScreen shot - with lighting poor to separate the hairline of the screen.

  Work with green screen - subject to blonde hair.

  I thought that the retro-lighting/hairlight was not necessary - I was wrong.

  Now with the green screen hidden using this ultra key - get jagged effect around the airline and what looks like the snow and noise around the fringe.

  I thought en - 1) video duplication and combining with effect 2) TrackMatte - use a mobile mask that matched just the root of the hair/plan - I might be able to blurr the edge enough to get rid of the unpleasant effect I see...

  As BIG as the UltraKeyer is - different parameters of transparency/spill/Starter/soften seem not to be able to remove the ugly/noticeable hairline artifacts that I see...

  New - look like jagged effect / snow...

  Any thoughts?

  
  Thank you

  In my opinion, the track-bearing on Pr capabilities fall away from the brand.  The fact fcp7 as it is very useful.  The limitation of the matte in public relations is that the mast is adjusted on the layer is hidden.  You can animate and change the scale and position of the track matte layer, but if you want it to run in smooth synchronization with the matted layer, you're in for a bit of work.  Ideally, you should be able to pan and adjust the layer being hidden inside a motionless mask.  Can-do that elegantly in PR.  This is a faulty design of the Pr, IMO.

  As a general rule, you must go to EI for the good contols, where you have all the power of masking you need, with the exception of the variable feathering, and who is rumored to be included in AeCS6.  Also it would be nice to be able to follow the points of mask, which is not currently in Ae either.  But that's another debate.

  That said, I am able to use the mask to a secondary use as a Luma matte.  Not sure why it does not work for you.  Have you played with the secondary commands sweetness?  I couldn't even be after what is your problem.

  However, here is a tip that I use with Ae that might work for your problem of inlay.  Use two instances of the Keyer.  Use all first to create a "garbage" key, where you will have the most greenery, leaving only a border around your subject.  Then, you can use the second instance of the Keyer to hone in on the edges.  Give it a shot.  Might work for you.  This method gives you an option to avoid the harsh cleanup settings of Matte with eradicating all the Greens in a framework.

• Case Rotobrush & mask Keyframe Question

  Hello

  I wanted to just make sure that the sample here is a case of Rotobrush.  Of course I've never used before, but I want to retain the color, (excuse the mask of shit), I created in the water in the first shot, of the sequence of cuts throughout.  When the woman is moving on the aquarium, I'll need to rotoscope it correct?  Any tips?  However, I will be reading the manual!

  http://Vimeo.com/39579490

  And the mask question - I should know this, but for some reason, (in another comp), my rearranged mask shape helene.  It was the same tank that you see above, but it was a dolly shot and the tank has not changed shape!  You will laugh but I ended up resetting the points of mask in 291 frames, and it still does not like variations in forms of mask created a flicker after applying the correction of color, levels etc..

  I wouldn't be able to go to the end of the model.  Draw the shape of the mask I want, keyframe mask shape; then go at the beginning of the comp - set the position of the mask and the keyframe again.  Please tell me where I'm wrong!

  And; is there a way to keyframe a "transformation" of the shape of the mask over time?  Basically, change the size and shape of the mask, I couldn't make this image by image.

  As always, many thanks for all the advice, patience and knowledge.

  Best,

  Jesse

  Tops is just another word for anchor points / nodes in the path. Not sure I understand the rest of your post this late in the evening. My brain is pretty chewed... You can move masks in their entirety by double-clicking on. This will call up the free transform box. Therefore, it would be a simple way to keep all proportion. AE can have an infinite number of masks per layer (well 9999 or so at least) and they even Boolean modes for more fantasy. This is not different from that of PS, in fact its even more versatile since you can reorder the masks and change their lifestyles without invoking obscure keyboard shortcuts. I recommend that you look that up in help. During the follow-up, you would connect the solid position, since points in AE mask themselves are not easy to follow. Yet once, find it in the help or study a good tutorial (such as Mathias Möhl).

• Masking\Moving Questions LR3.4.1

  I use LR 3.4.1 on a PC. I have two questions if you don't mind:

  1. sometimes, I place a point of mask, make my settings, and then click see my settings and find that I want to move the point just a little, but. I tried to slide and it does not work and I have not found something to work either. Is it possible to do?

  2. sometimes, I have a large surface to hide, don't even need to get closer to some areas to make sure that I am "in the lines'. Several times the start (brand) is not in the picture after that I have to zoom. I am eager to drag the photo up\down\side next to work on more of the detail area. I don't want to put a new marker\point, but may not know how to move the work area. Zoom in and out is not want I want, I just want to spend a little work with my original point\marker.

  I hope that I was clear in my question and thank you in advance for any help.

  You cannot move a brush stroke.

• After effects layer mask Question.

  Hello

  
  I am a novice and will try to explain this clearly

  I used this tutorial as a guide for Lightsaber effects. http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=gQ7dC0gWzG0 07:44 video, he explains how to make the effect of going behind the video using a mask... but not using his video, im using an another clip... anways...

  "Layer 3" has my video. I the effect of sword "layer 2", at a point in the timeline, I made a new solid layer with the pen tool master on "layer 1" for the effect of sabre on "layer 2" can get behind the main video image, I cut the points of entry and this (works but). "" "

  My question is, can I add another solid to the mask 'layer 1' later in the chronology for sabre effect on "layer 2" can get behind the next point, where it should get behind? ".

  The problem I had is that for this mask work "layer 1" would seem to be directly on top of the "layer 2". I tried to make a new mask solid, but as it was not directly above "layer 2", it would not work. So, I wonder how do another mask on the layer 1?

  Thank you

  Rather than add a new solid, add a second mask to your first solid.

• Simple question about making elliptical mask

  I learn AE CS4 and I have a question about doing the elliptical mask:

  When I click and drag, I get an ellipse with control points, but the real mask is always a rectangle (i.e. areas of X and Y of the ellipse). In fact, this happens with all forms.

  Thank you
