I'm an animator, just trying to put a narrative movie together. No interactivity, no fancy features (or so I think). I have the following bones to pick with Adobe, and wonder if you do too. Are you ready? 1. Since it's an Adobe product, LiveMotion favors importation of vector drawings in...

Thank you. #2 was worrying me more than #1. Regarding #1: Oh, okay, what's the JavaScript? Note: I'm working with Dreamweaver 3, but I'm not afraid of code ... very much.

I have a main page with links, each link opening another page in another window, without closing the first window, and scrolling to an anchor. Yes, I used _blank in the link, and my anchors work, but I'd like to be more specific in two ways: 1. I'd like to tell the second window using HTML (not...

I assume that what you want is an object light blue toward the center, dark blue toward the edges, and a feathered edge between the two. Here's what you do (assuming you have Illustrator 9 or 10): 1. Color the object the dark blue. 2. With the object still selected, go to your menu: Effect ->...

What version of Illustrator? You may have to upgrade.

You must first save the page as an EPS (File ->Save page as EPS), then open that EPS in Illustrator. You will notice that all your text lines will be broken into little bits of type 2-3 letters long, so make sure you do text editing in Quark.

I'm attempting to synchronize some animation (really just pop-ons) to coincide with some stabs at the end of a piece of music only about 10 seconds long. I used a tool on the Mac called Sound Studio to find to the hundredth of a second (convertible into frames) when the stabs occur, since I...

Every product Apple has called iBook (including the orange and white clamshell) can run the current operating systsm, OS X (10), and the earliest ones had OS 9 pre-installed. Photoshop 7 works best in OS X, but will run fine in OS 9. There is nothing else missing in the iBooks that desktop boxes...

In AI 9, while clicking on the Pathfinder buttons, the alt (option) button doesn't help or hurt.

If it's all the artistic attributes you want to save (color, typeface, effects, styles, etc.), what you want to do is not "cut and paste" so much as "save and place." Remove elements in the Illustrator document you don't want to have appear on the PageMaker page, and save...

The advice I gave you assumes that you've already done what Jaquan told you to do, and you have a Photoshop doc with a spot channel. Do what he/she says first.

Recent threads on this forum entitled "Logo Designing" and "Converting Raster to Vector" describe how to use Illustrator features to make a vector version of your logo. They're all okay, but nothing beats going back to the designer of the logo and asking for the original...

I can suggest something I think I tried once. Please, if someone gives you a less arcane suggestion, try theirs first. I do not guarantee success, but it beats twiddling your fingers. Break the Photoshop doc into two pieces: • the regular CMYK without the items in the fifth color • the fifth...

Get specifics on just WHAT advantages Freehand + Dreamweaver have over Illustrator + Dreamweaver. Sometimes the compatibility streamlines are just hype. And then, since we're Illustrator lovers here, Don't forget to tell us what you've learned! There's no reason these threads have to be all...

Another slim possibility: If you're on a Mac (certainly on OS 9, possibly on OS X), and you're trying to move the object so far in a direction that the mouse icon passes the edge of the Illustrator window, you've invoked a Mac feature that allows you to store your selection on the desktop as...
