Adding bitmap images that behave like a button or adding buttons that support images?

I am a new to Flash Builder and making some progress, but find I am easily stuck. I want to add graphics to my application that (1) detect when they have received a click event, (2) change graphics when mouse off, mouse over and clicked.
I thought that I could add graphics to a button to accomplish this, but cannot figure out how. Perhaps there is another, better way to do this using an image object. Any help is greatly appreciated.

is it as simple as copy the button from it's own library then
paste it into the shared library - then do the linkage steps?

Adding Icon Image Elements to a Navigation Bar in Adobe Muse?

I want to add a rollover image in my navigation bar - I want the rollover image to have a dotted line surrounding it and I can't make dotted lines in Muse so I want to make the image in fireworks and import it into my menu. Can this be done and if so, how?!!

You can use fill image for menu items with defined states, regarding dotted stroke line , try this :

Using an image for a Submit button on a form

I would like to use a custom graphic as the submit button on an online form. Is this doable?

I see the icon in the forms palette. How do I make it a Submit button? It does not have anything different than adding an image.

This code shows a perfect tabcontrol as in the picture below,
I managed to get this code working by combining three other VB themes I found. Right now, I just want to increase the width of the tab so the close button doesn't hides the text. And I want to add a icon to the left of the tab and be able to change it on
runtime.
The icons name will be on, off, 1, 2, plus .ico
Is it possible ? and is it possible to make the tabs curved at the corner like in chrome.

Hi,
I have went through your TabControl class and changed it around a little bit to get something similar to what i think you want. I made it so that the Tabs are resized with the TabControl itself so that they always fill the width of the TabControl.
I also, made the Text of the tabs have its own rectangle which will automatically adjust it`s width according to weather or not the close buttons are shown so the text will never be under the buttons.
As for the Icons, you could create another small class that inherits from the TabPage base class and add a public property to it for the Icon image. You would have to use that class to add TabPages and set the Icon property. Then in the
TabControl class`s OnPaint overrides sub you would check if the Icon property of the TabPage is set and draw the image if it is.
I didn`t go that far but, i used the TabPage`s Tag property for the Icon image. Actually it is just an Image, not an Icon. So, in the TabControl`s OnPaint overrides sub i check if the TabPage`s Tag property is set to an Image and if it
is i adjust the Text rectangle to avoid the Image and draw the image.
I moved the StringFormat to the OnPaint sub and set it to keep the text left aligned so it stayed next to the Image. You can change it back to the Center if you want. I also set the StringFormat trimming to EllipsisCharacter so it will
cut the text off if it is to long to fit between the Image and the Close button.
You can test it in a new form project first and to check out how it works and what i changed.

In the Form`s code you can set the images for the TabPage icons like this.
Public Class Form1

Me.TabPage1.Tag = Image.FromFile("C:\testfolder\img1.png")
Me.TabPage2.Tag = Image.FromFile("C:\testfolder\img2.png")
End Sub

Here is an example of what it looks like.
If you say it can`t be done then i`ll try it
Thanks :)) I tried you code and it works perfectly.
Though i don't want the tabs have their width's by the size of form, so i fixed a width,
If Me.Created AndAlso Me.TabCount > 0 Then
'Dim tw As Integer = CInt(Me.ClientSize.Width / Me.TabCount)
'Dim offset As Integer = Me.TabCount
'If Me.ItemSize.Width <> tw - offset Then Me.ItemSize = New Size(tw - offset, 32)
Me.ItemSize = New Size(200, 32)
End If
Here is the screenshot,
I just don't know why the arrows (left and right) aren't full. here is a gif,
Why is that :O Should I paint the arrows as well ?

Iconic images on multirow buttons

Hi,
I am trying to get different iconic images displayed on a button in a multirow block. Is there any easy way to do it. Running Forms 10g
example
I have a block based on customer orders which displays 10 rows
I want to display an iconic image on a button in the multirow that shows a different image depending on the status of the order e.g. ordered, dispatched, cancelled etc etc
so row 1 would show image1, row2 image 2, row3 image 1 and so on, each row could be a different image or the same image
As I scroll up and down records refreshing the data displayed in the multi row I would want the images to change as well
Tried set_item_property (icon_filename) but this sets all instances of the button to the same image, set_item_instance_property cannot set the Icon Filename.
Can this be done in javabean?, can you reference the individual row instance's of the javabean.
Any possible solutions?
Thanks

I have also tried to "simulate" this using an image-item, but the image doesn't populate. I put the code for read_image_file in post-query trigger thinking this would be most appropriate.
Even when I put it in a When-New-Record-Instance as I scroll up and down the records in the block the images clear and don't refresh as expected

Help! Please! I cannot view images on any website or button as in submit, delete, previous, next...

I cannot view images on any website, or buttons only text. I can view youtube videos but none of the video thumbnails on the sidebar. I have never had this problem and have searched the forums for an answer.

Hi F. Carl
The clip is intact and it has video and audio.
I have worked on it before and all was fine until I lost the work when it got frozen!
The issue is:
I have a (MOV.) ready clip that I wanted to edit a bit, hence I have imported the clip (import media) and whenever I try to work on it, the black screen prohibits me from doing anything.
Any ideas please ... It's really strange !

How Do I get icons image directory to work in a JAR file?

Yes, I must admit after going through the tutorial and other stuff I am stiil stumped
I have an application that uses the jlfgr icons for the toolbar, and it works fine as long as i actually run it from the directory that it is in.
I would like to put in into a jAr file, and be able to execute it from other places.
I have a Directory named PhoneBook
in that are the classes I use
AddressBook - the main class
PersonEntry - The 'data class'
and various other things like FileFilters.....
inside that directory there are two more:
images - contains all the icon images
Data - where the default 'database' entries are stored.
I use code like this:
     private void fillToolBar( JToolBar bar )
          Dummy = new JButton(new ImageIcon("images/New16.gif"));
          Dummy.setActionCommand("New");
          Dummy.addActionListener(this);
          Dummy.setToolTipText("New");
          bar.add( Dummy );
          // etc etc
to get all the icons into the toolbar
I have made a Jar file that has all the classes and all the directorys with the icons in it
and so the program runs, but does not get the icons for the toolbar, I just get a whole load of 'dud' buttons.....
AS this is the first time i've ever got the GUI to look right rather than just the code functioning properly
I'd like to get the whole thing in a working Jar file
So Could someone show me Step By Step, How I get my classes and images into a Jar file
so that i can from a different directory go
java - jar Phone.jar
and have the GUI come up with all the images, assuming I'm totally thickheaded when it comes to Jar files.?
I also can't get the images to show up if I merely run the 'program' from another directory than the one it is compiled in
I can get the program to run, just not access the images with something like
java -cp blah/blah/blah AddressBook
{the main class is AddressBook }
the data directory can be anywhere as I use a JFileChooser to allow the user to open and save desired files.
I really would appreciate some clear workable help. {though I'm running out of Duke Dollars...}

What you need is a correct path to the directory
inside of the jar. This can be accomplished by adding
a line to your main program like this:
URL
url=myProgram.class.getResource("images/New16.gif");
Dummy = new JButton(new ImageIcon(URL));
where myProgram.class is the name of the class
file that contain the main method.
Hope this helps....
;o)
PS: I don't want your dukes...I got them coming out of
my ears!
O.K, that works thank you.
I put something like:
for all the 'buttons' in the toolbar
URL url = null;
Class ThisClass = this.getClass();
url=ThisClass.getResource("images/New16.gif");
Dummy = new JButton(new ImageIcon(url));
Dummy.setActionCommand("New");
Dummy.addActionListener(this);
Dummy.setToolTipText("New Database");
bar.add( Dummy );
etc for all the rest of the 'buttons'
After Reading the API docs on URL's etc I'm still not sure as to why it works, but it does....
I am able now to place the class files in a jar along with the images and it all works fine
although now I don't quite follow all my code....................
I assume that
url=ThisClass.getResource("images/New16.gif");
returns some sort of 'relative url ' ???
Thanks for the help though.

How to set folder icon image in OS X Lion?

I set my folder's icon image in OS X Leopard before, but I don't know how to do that in Lion. In Leopard you simply copy the icon image from an Info window of a file, and paste that into the folder's icon image in the top left corner of its Info window. In Lion I don't see the icon of the file in its Info window as a preview, but rather I see only a generic JPG file icon. Any ideas?

Can you explain why there was no thumbnail for that file?
The OS does not create or add thumbnails, previews, nor custom icons to images or other files. Although it displays files with what appears to be a custom icon, it is not part of the file itself; it is created on the fly, just for display. Since it is not part of the file, it does not appear in the Get Info window.
Back in OS 9 days when you downloaded an image file from the web, either via drag and drop or via the download mechanism, the image file would typically be placed on the drive as a QuickTime image with both a custom icon and a preview image added to it.
I skipped earlier versions of OS X, and started with Snow Leopard, so don't know about earlier versions of OS X. Apparently the auto creation and addition of a custom icon and preview have been dropped in later versions in favor of using Preview to generate a temporary (for display only) custom icon on the fly. One result of this is that image file sizes are kept reasonably small - adding a suite of custom icons and a preview image to the file itself increases the file size a lot; it's not unusual for those additions to double the file size, or more.

Adding GIF images to a stand-alone program

To add a GIF image to an applet one can use the "getImage" function defined in the applet class.
How do i add an image to a stand-alone program in java when one doesn't extend the Applet class ( and so one doesn't have access
to the "getImage" procedure)
I have just begun with Java so please reply in simple english and not in some hard-to-understand "Javian" crap!
Thank u

You mean a JFrame?
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JFrameImage extends JFrame {
public JFrameImage() {
      Container c    = getContentPane();
      JPanel panel = new JPanel(){
             public void paintComponent(Graphics g)     {
// puts an image on the whole program as background
                  ImageIcon img = new ImageIcon("myBackground.jpg");
                  g.drawImage(img.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
                  super.paintComponent(g);
        panel.setOpaque(false);
// puts an image on the button
      ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("myButton.jpg");
      JButton button = new JButton(icon);
      panel.add(button);
      c.add(panel);
public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrameImage frame = new JFrameImage();
// puts your own personal image on the frame itself
      Image onFrame = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("myIcon.gif") ;
    frame.setIconImage(onFrame);
    frame.setSize(200,200);
// stops the thing looking sh*tty and amateurish by putting it nearer the middle
// of the screen, instead of the default top left hand corner
    frame.setLocation(300,200);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
    frame.setVisible(true);
}

Adding an Image on top of Zoom area

Hello everyone,
I'm a brand new user of Captivate and I'm working with version 4. I'll do my best to not get on your nerves with all the newbie questions!
Current issue - I'm working within a single slide and have a small segment highlighted with the Zoom function. The Zoom is working great, but there are multiple items within the Zoom box that I would like to highlight/indicate for the viewers. I want to use a basic arrow to point at the icon I'm referring to in the audio, so I've tried adding an Image of an arrow, but it always appears behind the Zoom box when I Preview or Publish the project. I've tried using both jpeg and bmp formats for the image and see no difference. I've also tried to work with the Order of the Image and Zoom, setting them to 'Step Back, 'Bring to Front', etc, but it doesn't make a difference.
Any suggestions on how I can get the image to show up on top of the Zoom box?
Side question - I had to find an image of a basic arrow on the web, as all I could find within Captivate 4 are the Animated Arrows. Does Captivate have good old basic arrows and pointers? If so, where might I might find them?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there
See if the link below helps any

For lines and arrows, use Drawing Objects if you are using Captivate 4. Insert > Drawing Objects.

Adding another image gallery

I have added an image gallery to my site and would like to add another one..
except when i copy the code the 2nd image gallery doesnt work..
HTML
Javascript
Thanks for your help.

Note also that since javax.swing.Icon is an interface, you can simply create an Icon implementation that can draw two (or more) images. You could pass in two ImageIcons into your own class. Example code (untested):
public class MultiIcon implements Icon {
   private Icon bottom;
   private Icon top;
   public MultiIcon(Icon bottom, Icon top) {
      this.bottom = bottom;
      this.top = top;
   public int getIconWidth() {
      return Math.max(top.getIconWidth(), bottom.getIconWidth());
   public int getIconHeight() {
      return Math.max(top.getIconHeight(), bottom.getIconHeight());
   public void paintIcon(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y) {
      bottom.paintIcon(c, g, x, y);
      top.paintIcon(c, g, x, y);
}

Adding an image that a user can click.

Hi
Been programming java for nearly a year now and I was wondering if there was a way I can add images to a frame, which a user can then hover over to receive information of click to go to the next screen with sub information on it. Any help currently would be much appreciated.

I was wondering if there was a way I can add images to a frameJLabel. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/label.html
which a user can then hover over to receive informationtooltip. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tooltip.html
click to go to the next screen with sub information on itMouseListener. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/mouselistener.html
Or use a JButton instead of a JLabel.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/button.html
If the frame is to be a container for numerous "screens", consider giving it a CardLayout.

(Specific problems you have with adding the images would best be addressed to the Swing forum.)

Icon image formats question

"Icon image formats used for iconic buttons can be .ico files at design time, but must be GIF or JPEG format at runtime. There is no other restriction of this related to deployment."
Read the above statement in an STS test paper and was wondering this is true. How does it work is it that the .ico are automatically converted at runtime or do the other extensions need to exist at runtime.
Incidentially does anyone know if there is a good source for forms icon files hiding out on Oracle.com
Thanks

WebForms usually do not show the icons at design time, but with little configuration we can display them, and since webforms will only show only GIF and PNG files (no JPEG) the design time icons are a bit fuzzy, so you can use .ico files for design time and .gif or .png for runtime.
You must have two sets of icons if you want to view the icons at design time.

Slideshow image resizing when adding new images

I am creating a series of slideshows on multiple pages. I created one slide show using the "basic" slideshow and resized it to the dimensions and settings I wanted. I have many pictures all of different proportion, therefore, I selected the "fill frame proportionally" so they would all fit the dimension I set. I wanted to use this first slideshow as a template for all of the rest. I added images to this first slideshow with no problems. All of my different sized images scaled or cropped to fit within the dimension I set. The problem comes in when I do two things: 1) When I add other images of different dimensions to this same slideshow gallery, they come smaller that the intended dimensions I set previous. I check the setting and it is still on "fill frame proportionally" similar to the first batch of pictures. 2) The second issue is when copy this slideshow as a template to other pages. When I try to replace or add to the slideshow gallery, the images come in cropped or smaller rather than filling the frame. Again, the settings are still the same from my very first slideshow that worked just as i intended.
I could resize all the images to all the same dimensions using another program like photoshop, but that is another step that is very tedious and it would seem that it should be something built into Muse.
Is there a way around this?. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just one of those glitches that happens with Muse? I appreciate any help that I can get.
Thanks!

Hi, I got it to work like this:
Using background colours in Photoshop so that all sizes are the same in pixels. Then manually adjusting thumbnails by double-clicking on them so that a red square appears.
Cheers,

Hi there Elsemiekagain,
I had to fiddle around with my slide show to get it to work. That is, it worked at first, then went funky, and I had to fiddle. So much fiddling that I can't possibly know what actually made it start to work again.
And to some degree, this is the way that I find Muse to be in general. That it requires finessing to get it to work as expected. This adds a good deal of time to every development project, though I am getting better at this with practice and experience.
Most of it is not even things that could be easily put in words as instructions, as many are nanced. But in fairness, this version of Muse is a complete code re-write this year. So we do need to cut Adobe some slack, and give the team time to iron things out.
