Problem with placing dynamic images.

I have a 800x600 file. It is being used for a PhotoSlide
show.
The images are displayed dynamically, as external files.
Some of the photos will be taken 1 hour before the
presentation, so I have
it set up to display img001.jpg, img002.jpg, img003.jpg as
external files.
Once the photos are taken, they'll be renamed, and placed in
the appropriate
folder, so that they'll appear in the presentation, without
having to
republish the authorware file.
I have the display icons for the images set to display the
image at 400,300,
which will center the image on-screen.
The problem is that when i change the images out, from a
verticle to a
horizontal picture, then run the piece, but image's placement
on screen
changes.
So how can I set the linked external file to ALWAYS display
centered on
screen, no matter the orientation, or size of the picture.

That doesn't change anything from when I had X = 400 and
Y=300.
The images are linked externally.
This is going to be a photo slideshow to be shown after a
wedding, during
the reception. I will NOT be there to administer this, or to
republish the
authorware files. So at the final segment of the slideshow,
we'll be showing
several photos taken earlier, at the wedding.
I have it set up to display 5 photos from the wedding. They
are grabbed
externally, but Authorware looking for img01.jpg - img05.jpg.
The problem is that the image's placement on-screen changes
when a different
size image is put in place.
For example, if i publish the authorware file, and i was
using a 720 x 480
image, everything works fine. But if i replace the external
image with a 480
x 720 image, the placement on screen is no longer set for the
center of the
image to appear at the dead center of the screen (400,300). I
need it to
work like this, since I don't know if the wedding photos
being added will be
set to portrait or landscape.

Problems with placing Tiff images in CS2

When placing a Tiff image in CS2 the file crashes or a memory warning appears. I am able to place much larger EPS images, so image size is not necessarily a factor Saving the file as an EPS in PhotoShop is not a solution as I am placing GeoTiffs which must retain their geographic reference file. The OS is Windows XP 32 - a quad core proc. - Radeon HD 6350 graphics controller with 512mb (dedicated)

No - it is possible to place a geotiff in illustrator - I have been able to do it. However, now I have a new PC and am unable to place the same types of tiff images I previously was able to in an older PC.

Problem with displaying BLOB images on JSP page using a servlet

hi. I have a big problem with displaying BLOB images using JSP. I have a servlet that connects to the oracle database, gets a BLOB image , reads it, and then displays it using a BinaryStream. The problem is , this works only when i directly call that servlet, that is http://localhost:8080/ImageServlet. It doesn't work when i try to use that servlet to display my image on my JSP page (my JSP page displays only a broken-image icon ) I tried several coding approaches with my servlet (used both Blob and BLOB objects), and they work just fine as long as i display images explicitly using only the servlet.
Here's what i use : ORACLE 10g XE , Eclipse 3.1.2, Tomcat 5.5.16 , JDK 1.5
here is one of my image servlet's working versions (the essential part of it) :
               BLOB blob=null;
          rset=st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM IMAGES WHERE ID=1");
          while (rset.next())
               blob=((OracleResultSet)rset).getBLOB(2);
          response.reset();
          response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
          response.addHeader("Content-Disposition","filename=42.jpeg");
                ServletOutputStream ostr=response.getOutputStream();
               InputStream istr=blob.getBinaryStream(1L);
                int size=blob.getBufferSize();
          int len=-1;
                byte[] buff = new byte[size];
                     while ((len=istr.read( buff ))!=-1 ) {
               ostr.write(buff,0,len);
         response.flushBuffer();
         ostr.close(); and my JSP page code :
<img src="/ImageServlet" border="0" > If you could just tell me what i'm doing wrong here , or if you could show me your own solutions to that problem , i would be very greatful ,cos i'm realy stuck here , and i'm rather pressed for time too. Hope someone can help.

I turns out that it wasn't that big of a problem after all. All i had to do was to take the above code and place it into another JSP page instead of into a servlet like i did before. Then i just used that page as a source for my IMG tag in my first JSP. It works perfectly well. Why this doesn't work for servlets i still don't know, but it's not a problem form me anymore . Ofcourse if someone knows the answer , go ahead and write. I would still appriceatte it.
here's the magic tag : <img src="ImageJSP.jsp" border="0" > enjoy : )

DW CS3 problem with PNG-8 images in Design View?

DW CS3 (build 3481) on XP seems to have problems with PNG-8 images, specifically trying to display them in design view.
I had a very simple image that was able to be exported by Fireworks CS4 as PNG-8 using 4 colors (no transparency) for a tiny file size under 250 bytes.
DW could not display it at all, or even recognize it, reporting it was 0 x 0 in size. I published the page anyway, and it looked fine in the browser.
I upped the number of colors to 32, and DW could then display it in design view in the page I was working on.
I'm still having problems with other PNG-8 images. The attached file "temp.jpg" is a screenshot showing part of the design view in DW.
The smaller image on the left of the banner is "58_certificate_of_discharge.png" (attached), and the larger image below is used as the background of the DIV containing the form,"compassbk.png" (also attached).
These images all look fine in the browser, but terrible in DW.
I'm stumped as to why.
Thanks in advance.

According to a different discussion, the images that are stuck as "Queued" are showing a bug in the virus scanning on the forums.
Now trying the recommended 'camera icon' method...
Looks like it worked.
Now compare what it looks like in DW CS3 in the design view:
It's a 16 color PNG-8 made in Fireworks CS4 with no transparency, size is 113 x 58, ending up at 1.71K.
If this is a repeatable problem in CS3, is there any hope of it being resolved, or am I stuck with upgrading to CS4 as my only option (assuming it's fixed in CS4)?
Thanks.

What is the problem with native dynamic sql when counting rows in all table

what is the problem with native dynamic sql when counting rows in all table?Giving an error "table or view does not exist". Thanks.
DECLARE
v_sql_string varchar2(1000);
v_no_of_rows number;
BEGIN
for i in ( select table_name from all_tables )

--execute immediate v_sql_string into v_no_of_rows;
end loop;
END;

Usually your problem can be described with 'Who cares'. I mean, for what reason do you do this? I doubt that there's a business need to get 100 % accurate answers for this. Normally such things are used to get a picture about the growth of data.
Personally I would prefer to have up-to-date statistics for all tables and just query the number of rows from there. Sufficient for me in < 99 % of all cases.
Just my $ .02...

Hi
The fact you are using a Mac is why both myself and JCellini assumed you where using a pre IE7 version.
But the code you are using to test in IE will cause a problem with any 'virtual machine' such as crossover, because it cannot reference anything outside its own assigned section of the drive, and referencing the png in the way you are would be for it an invalid reference, it also would not work in any browser when you uploaded the site.
Change - background-image:url(file:///Macintosh HD/Users/myname/Documents/websites/test/Test/images/test_back.png);
To - background-image:url(images/test_back.png);
But if the region is not editable I would suggest you temporarily make it so, externalize your css to a css file, insert a link to the external css file in your head content, then lock the region once again. This way you will always be able to edit your css without worrying about 'locked regions'.

Problem with getting resized image's bytes

I've got a problem with getting correct bytes of a newly resized image. The flow is that I retrive an image from the filesystem. Due to the fact that it is large I resize it to a 50x50px thumbnail. I can display this thumbnail in #benchmark1 (see code below). Unfortunately something's wrong with my imageToBytes funtion which returns reasonably small size of image but is totally useless - I can't make an image of it anymore so at #benchmark2 the application either crashes or keeps freezing. I saved this byte array on my disk and tried to preview under Windows how does it look but I got a message "Preview unavailabe". I did some digging in the Internet and I supposed that it's because I don't use any jpg or png encoders to save the file. Actually I think that it's not the case, as the bytes returned from method imageToBytes look weird - I cannot even make a new image of them and display it without any saving in memory.
                              byte[] bytes = FileHandler.readFile (
                                      FileHandler.PHOTOS_PATH, fileName);
                              Image img2 = Image.createImage (bytes, 0, bytes.length);
                              img2 = ImageHandler.getInstance ().resize (img2);
                                                //#benchmark1
                              bytes = ImageUtils.imageToBytes (img2);
                              img2 = Image.createImage (bytes, 0, bytes.length);
                                                //#benchmark2my imageToBytes function is as follows:
     public static byte[] imageToBytes (Image img)
          int[] imgRgbData = new int[img.getWidth () * img.getHeight ()];
          byte[] imageData = null;
          try
               img.getRGB (imgRgbData, 0, img.getWidth (), 0, 0, img.getWidth (),
                       img.getHeight ());
          catch (Exception e)
          ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream ();
          DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream (baos);
          try
               for (int i = 0; i < imgRgbData.length; i++)
                    dos.writeInt (imgRgbData);
               imageData = baos.toByteArray ();
               baos.close ();
               dos.close ();
          catch (Exception e)
          return imageData;
I've run totally out of any idea what's wrong, please help!
Edited by: crawlie on Jul 17, 2010 6:21 PM

Hey Crawlie,
Please note that simply writing int values into ByteArrayOutputStream will not suffice. Please have a look at the following conversion from int pixel value into byte[4]:
public static final byte[] intToByteArray(int value) {
        return new byte[] {
                (byte)(value >>> 24),
                (byte)(value >>> 16),
                (byte)(value >>> 8),
                (byte)value
}Good Luck!

Problems with the background image size in a photobook

Hi there, I really need help here. When I make a photobook I want to display my images large, taking the whole page. To do that I put the image as a background and it's OK. My problem is that when I do this, iPhoto always crops it. I have to use the move tool to move the image up and down, left or right to chose a best position. I don't want to do this, I want my image to be shown perfectly from end to end. I have to resize the image in many ways, even used the book's native resolution but it still doesn't work. If I choose "fit photo to frame size" I end up with two stripes at the top and the bottom of the page.
Please help me, what size should I resize my image to, so that iPhoto displays it as it is?
Thank you

Problems with screen saver image quality

Just got a MPB 15 inch. Very happy with it but have a small problem with the screen saver. I use my i Photo folders as the source for screen saver images. Some photos are shown in very good quality but others are very poor - as if low res. The original images are all of the same high quality. Seems to occur whichever video setting is used under power saving. A minor issue I now but any ideas?

Hi, Mark. Apparently some of the photos being used are low-resolution thumbnails, not full-resolution images.
What version of iPhoto do you have, and which OS version are you running? On my MBP running 10.5.6 and iPhoto 7.1.5, "All folders" is not an option in the Screensaver pane of System Prefs, so I don't know what you're actually choosing. But if I select "Pictures" (which refers to the Pictures folder in my Home folder), then the screensaver uses every .jpg file that it finds in any of the several iPhoto Libraries inside my Pictures folder. The thumbnails created by iPhoto are .jpgs, so they get used by the screensaver along with full-size high-resolution images.
The solution is not to select a folder that contains any thumbnails.

Problem with a product image/pdf production in Indesign CS5

Hi,
this problem probably has an obvious solution, but I can't figure it out due to my limited experience in using Indesign. I'm trying to export my poster lay-out as pdf, but one of the several product images does not show up in the exporte pdf correctly. Instead of a product image, I only get this white image that is similar to the shape of the product image, but the actual product image is not visible. The product image is a .psd -file and it shows correctly in InDesign document, but not in the exported .pdf file. Could somebody help me to tackle this problem?
BR,
Masa

Hi,
- It shows in the preview mode
- I'm using only one layer in the layout with all the images on it
- The image is not non-printing in the Attributes panel
- Links have no errors and theya re up to date
When I create the PDF via FILE > PRINT, then the problem does not occur, but I have another problem with white margins on both top and bottom of the .pdf-file. ¨
I still would like to create the pdf via Export.
Thank you for your quick reply, what's next?
BR,
Masa

JAI(Java Advanced Imaging) Problem with splitting TIFF images

Hi
I am getting problem with height when I use this program to split TIFF images
ImageDecoder decImage = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder("tiff", inStr,
null);
Then it creates RenderedImage page by page and encodes them to file:
String outFileName = "";
OutputStream outStr;
TIFFEncodeParam encParam = new TIFFEncodeParam();
encParam.setCompression(TIFFEncodeParam.COMPRESSION_PACKBITS);
for (int i=0,n=this.getPageCount(); i < n; i++)
outImage = this.decImage.decodeAsRenderedImage(i);
outFileName = "C:\\Temp\\Split" + i + ".tif";
outStr = new FileOutputStream(outFileName);
BufferedOutputStream bOutStr = new BufferedOutputStream(outStr);
encImage = ImageCodec.createImageEncoder("tiff",bOutStr,encParam);
encImage.encode(outImage);
bOutStr.flush();
bOutStr.close();
}The images are shrinking when I split . I need a solution to this problem.
Thanks for any help in advance
Sudheer.

Hi
Did you get a solution for your problem. I am also trying to split a TIFF file.
Thanks in advance

Problems with the dynamic loader... And well... I SERIOUSLY messed up.

So you might call me an idiot. Go ahead... I deserve it.
I was in the process of updating my netbook over SSH because I left it back home when I went to school. I ended up running into problems with glibc etc... So I did something that I seriously regret...
I executed the command...
mv /lib/* /usr/lib*
This has to be the most retarded thing I have ever done ever... Like I'm not even shitting you.
To make things worse... I don't have busybox and have no method of getting busybox onto the computer.
Now I have seen about using the dynamic loader "ld-linux.so.2" to execute programs using a user defined library path. So I thought perfect, I can do this. The problem is... I can't find it. I looked on two healthy Arch machines at the locations and names. I used that to try this. I am sure at least I have a recent version of glibc installed (<current version>-1 I believe). But I still cannot find this at all. I am logged in as root over SSH but it fails to log in again on another session. So I have one session to work with it I can work it at all.
Do you have any suggestions to fix this? If not, I can always have someone tomorrow dd a copy of an arch iso tomorrow and possibly fix everything... But I would really like this fixed without all of that... Thanks...

See these two threads.

Problems with displaying dynamic Arabic text

We have a problem with a navigation system we are building
which has to be able to display dynamic Arabic text. We are pulling
in the Arabic text using XML. The problem we are having is that the
character are not displaying joined up where they should be (for
instance in the middle of words). Arabic characters have different
shaping according to the position they take up within a word. What
we are producing is apparently unreadable. Has anyone come accross
this problem before? Is it solveable?

Hi:
Is there any possible chance that Adobe would do something to asist us Fl8 users with international character support.
Everyone has some work-around, except Abode, and they are all usually related to XML.
My setup is PHP (CMS supporting many languages) -> MySQL -> PHP -> Flash8 (Dynamic Text Fields) and the olpart that does not work is when I inject an extended character into the string - Flash stops displaying anything from that character on.
If Adobe has or did have some component / solution or anything other than the usual System.useCodePage = true (which never seems to actually work), please let me know.
Best Regards,

Problem with Airplay Mirroring: Image Cut Off

I have a mid 2011 Macbook Pro.   I have installed Mountain Lion.   I am able to activate Airplay Mirroring, however, part of the image is cut off.   In other words, what is shown on my TV is only about 2/3 of the image that is shown on my macbook.    It is not showing a black bar, or anything like that.   It is more like the image is enlarged and doesn't fit on the TV screen.
I have searched the internet trying to find a solution.   I haven't found anyone with this problem.   So, my question is, do I have some settings wrong?   Or is it a problem with the settings on my TV?   If anyone has suggestions for troubleshooting this problem I would be grateful!   I really want to use airplay!
Thanks!

OK, I am replying to my own question!    My husband just found a thread solving this problem.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19070883#19070883#19070883
We changed the video settings on the Apple TV to 'auto', and restarted.   It works great now!
