"Select inverse" equivalent - or a clipping on the top layer mask

Hiya.

I'm looking for something in Illustrator that would allow me to do the equivalent of what a "select inverse" then delete, or would a "layer mask" in Photoshop. I haved tried various combinations of clipping mask and dedicated way without any acceptable results.


included is a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

help with clipping mask.PNG

I was given this file and it's messy. I am wanting to delete all points except those on top of the layer gradiented.  (as this second picture).

help with clipping mask 2.PNG

There is no living text. Currently, gradiented layer is separated the two layers and it has a line on that. Each wee point is its own form now too.

When I tried clipping or transparent traces or various pathfinder effects masks I ended with results that look like this:

help with clipping mask 3.PNG

I am so at a loss for what to do. I tried moving layers around - which is at the top, which is located on the bottom. I tried to remove the red and black shadow-ish layers below; all sorts of other miscellanopus and so forth as well.

Any help would be simply amazing!

  1. Select all tasks and 'group '.
  2. Select the gradient objects and "copy".
  3. Stick in front of the Group Spot
  4. Make work path transparent "(Cmd/Ctrl + 8)"
  5. Small group composed of path and tasks
  6. Take the clipping mask (Cmd/Ctrl + 7)

    You have an element that contains the matte and the other clip contains the filling?

    Put the matte clip on a track directly above the clip to fill.

  • Interactive PDF layers appear behind the text. A script can move them to the top layer?

    I have created a form in InDesign CC (latest version on a Mac under El Capitan). I export the form in PDF format. There are some interactive tooltips (with suggestions on how to fill in each particular field) implemented as buttons. The control keys are static. When I click on the trigger, the bubble appears, when I click on the bubble, it disappears. The problem is that even if the bubbles are set up on the top layer in InDesign, in many cases they appear behind the text layer.

    Is there a script that I can add to each individual bubble that says "when this bubble is active, move it to the top layer?

    This project took over 3 weeks of troubleshooting. In the end I came up with my own results. The answer was "no, it isn't a script."

    With the help of the Adobe customer service, we found that because in the InDesign file, I had the pop-ups on a different layer than the triggers, it was causing a problem of overlap. I found myself by combining the layers into a single, moving pop ups to the elements high on the page in the layers palette.

    Then I exported (interactive) PDF from InDesign and in the PDF file, in edit mode, in the fields Panel, I've selected all the pop-ups and offers them to at the bottom of each page [z-index property]. A lot of manual labor, but in the end, I got most of the results I wanted.

  • MC of adjustment on the top layer

    I have 3 layers in flash on 1 keyframe in the timeline that is just good.

    Have a rotating banner that I bought and it's all scripts that works very well.

    But I want another video clip to be at the top of the rotating banner. It's on the top of the page whithin the range of layers, but when the SWF file is previewd my MC I want on top or underneath.

    How do I action this MC it is on the top layer

    Thank you

    You say that the banner is all scripted, so I assume you mean that it is dynamically added to the film.  You might try to target the banner to add an empty movieclip which is placed manually in the timeline panel to sit under the movieclip you want on top.

    Similarly, you could dynamically load the movieclip after addition of the banner so that it deals with a greater depth.

  • addChildAt to the confusion of the top layer

    Level 2

    'lastmc' should be the bottom of the top layer when the score is greater than 30. but it's not working. also if I use addChild (lastmc) . He became top of all layers. so my heroes and enemies all go down. I can not play. but the need lastmc just top of myMovieClipbg background layer.

    I suppose the confusion coming from addChildAt


    Note addChildAt(myMovieClipbg,1); works very well for the second level. it brings the high bottom of the first background.

    but addChildAt (lastmc, 1); fails to put in the background of the second context

  • How to expose the layers beneath the top layer

    Only, I 4 days left on my trial and should know basically how to expose and layer transition under the top layer, leaving the top layer intact. I have seen a lot of adobe and Lynda.com videos, but can't seem to find what I need.

    I have recorded a concert of piano and you want to add a vocal part and images during the performance and the end of the performance.  Some of the videos may also contain a piece of music which I can't understand.  I hope that makes sense.

    I'm looking for just a source of help, videos or web pages to guide me.  I do not line-by-line instructions here.

    Thanks for any help and God bless you,

  • Create the top layer with transparency

    Hi all

    I created a SWF for the header of my site. On the top layer, I have an image that remains static, while the rest of the header changes images. I try to get the static image to be fairly transparent but am not having much luck. PS I recorded it with transparency, I created the image, but it doesn't seem right in the swf file.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

  • bringing a video clip at the top of the order of the layers on mouse.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    It is possible, you should use "evt.currentTarget' instead of"evt.target"I think that if you use instead of MOUSE_OVER ROLL_OVER it wouldn't matter that you used.

    In addition, you can simply use addChild() to bring an object to the top...

    function up(evt:MouseEvent):void
    {
    addChild (MovieClip (evt.currentTarget));
    }

  • Making masters with header pinned areas appear on the top layer

    Hello

    With the help of Muse v3

    I'm using master pages to make the elements header and navigation for the most efficient workflow.

    When I then create a page and apply to the master, the main content of the page (which is scrollable) appears on the top of the item header pinned by the captain.


    I want to scroll, but be hidden behind the header.

    How to do it please, I missing something simple?

    Thank you

    Matt

    Hello

    The master page content is always placed at the bottom of the Muse, and we cannot change his diaper to put it on top of any other content on the pages.

    In this case, you will need to place this content separately on pages and remove it from the master page. You can select content and copy and paste inplace on all pages.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards

  • The mobile layer mask also moves down under

    Ref: Lynda course last http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=55426 point in Chapter 2, "Collage in layer mask' shows that after pasting the layer mask (sketch of a tree) on another layer, you can then move it into place with the tool 'move '. While following, when I tried to move it, he also cuts and moved the layer I pasted the tree on. I noticed that the "move" tool has a pair of scissors attached to it that I can't get rid of. I think that it is the culprit. What I'm * wrong? I have the layer mask selected in the layers panel and did everything as in the tutorial. I repeated the tutorial 3 times with the same result.

    I have CS4 Windows.

    "Design" and "sketches" files are images of the lesson. The goal is to make a layer mask to the sketch of the tree and place it on the 'paper' layer and then moving into place, as if the hand made the sketch.  "cut layer. PSD"is my result. You can see the part of the drawing pad is cut off

    Ignoring any comment on the accuracy of tutorial or your next it as directed, if you want to the declared operation add the following two steps:

    Press Ctrl + D to deselect

    Press the channel icon to decouple the image on the layer and its mask.

    You now can independently move the mask and don't hurt no pixels.  Let us know.

  • How to hide the trigger on the top layer

    Hello

    can someone help me with this problem?

    Each icon is a trigger in the other layer.

    When I clicked on the icon, it will display the target (white box), but somehow the other icon is always on display.

    I tried to move the layer to the trigger, but it cannot be moved anywhere on the layer.

    I thought to create another separate page for each icon, but it will not reach the design I wanted.

    Can someone help me how to get the icon disappear please?

  • convert the data-&gt; layer mask vertex position position

    I have 2 videos (A; (B) whose corresponding value of markers, I need to distort the video so the position of the markers would correspond to the position of the corresponding markers in video B.

    The markers are easy to spot, but I can only request data followed the anchor layer,

    while I can use for the distortion (Reshape, revision deform or Morph) the tools work with masks.

    I need a way to convert the caterpillars position data to control individual mask points.

    Someone knows or can write this script?

    much help appreciated

    Yes, as David said, with local Tracker2Mask mode, you can move individual points mask with track points of the tracker item AE.

    See this tutorial:

    My MaskTrackerPlus not help not in this particular case, since he cannot move together masks, but individual vertices not independently.
