Assign a URL to an image in iWeb 2.0

I want to insert an image to my iWeb 2.0 page and apply "Shadow" and "Reflection" to the image, but do not want this image source from a local file. Instead, I want to assign it a URL to an external webservice. Using an HTML snippet will solve the problem of external resource insertion, by using an IMG tag with its SCR property set to the external webservice.
*But, I cannot apply "Shadow" and "Reflection" to an HTML snippet.*
If anyone knows how to either:
1. Apply "Shadow" and "Reflection" to HTML snippets;
2. Source iWeb image from an external webservice;
please post your answers here.

This is not a great answer but it'll work in some cases: If the image from the HTML clipping is more or less static, especially at the bottom (like, say, a Google calendar insert, where the bottom is a blue bar with the same text and graphic all the time), use Grab to nab a copy of it, then use Graphic Converter or something similar to trim the edges and convert to JPEG. Then drop the JPEG where the HTML clipping will go, and scale to fit. Create a reflection of the JPEG, and, finally, drop the HTML clipping in a layer over the top of the JPEG. That way, it looks like the reflection of the JPEG is actually a reflection of the HTML.
A bit of a kludge, but hey. If it works, it can be better than nothing, which, as I understand it, is pretty much the only other option.

Link URL's to images in uiloader

Hello - I've got a flash page where a uiloader uses 10 different images. Wondering if I can assign a url to each image so that when they load, the viewer could click to follow the link. Any suggestions?

you can use navigateToURL() to add url links. it's easiest to add each loader to a movieclip and assign mouse listeners to the movieclip.

Is there a way of aligning the images in iweb photoalbums other than have them be a square?I have them at same height and resolution but htere is a default that shrinks them and aligns them at the bottom.Thanks.

So how did you do it?
by understand what iweb widgets do, in this case setting gridEntry widget's scalMode preference from fill to fit.
then reset the displayed image, so it fits in the display area even if it's portrait aspect.
however, i found some glitches in gridEntry widget that's quite strange... but all fix-able.
perhaps, iweb experts (whose had poked at my example) here can chime in.

Assigning a URL link to button in a Flash Player

I've designed a player in Flash using Action Script 3. I've
built a rollover button into the player that users will click to
link to a new page. But where do I assign the URL for that button
to link to; there's no apparent field for this in the properties
inspector.
I was able to make it work by switching over to Action
Script 2 and assigning a "Go to Web Page" behavior to the button;
but I can only do this in Action Script 2 (where behaviors are
available), and I have to keep the page in Action Script 3 in order
to support other components (Slideshow Pro).
Surely there is a way to assign a simple URL link to a
button in Action Script 3. Thanks for the help,
Chris

yes, you need to write AS3 script in order to do so:
[code]
buttonInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navTo);
function navTo(e:MouseEvent) {
var url = new URLRequest('
http://www.theaddresshere.com);
navigateToURL(url);
[/code]
place this on the first frame where you button is
instantiated, in a layer you name 'actions' - with the frame
selected, open the Actions panel (F9) and enter the script there.
replace the "buttonInstanceName" with the instance name of the
button on the stage you're assigning this method to, and of course
replace the address in the URLRequest parameter.

How do I chance an image in iWeb?

I have a header image I've created and am using at the top of each page. Now that I have the site laid out, I want to replace these headers with ones specific to the page. But every time I try to drag a new image (same dimensions) over the old, it doesn't replace the image as I expect, it just plunks down a new one over the old. Which I then have to manually align it and apply the styles to.
What a pain! Especially if you're just making small changes to an image.
Is there not away to simply replace/change the jpeg on a page, with another file?

You might try this method: with the image file on the Desktop Control-click on it and select the Copy option in the contextual menu. Next go to the image in iWeb and click on it until it's selected and do a paste. It will replace the photo but I don't know if it will avoid the border/frame that the page layout adds to all photos added to the page.

Way the url of the images are absolute in km?

Hi!
I am having some trouble with the url's of the images that I insert in a html page on KM. Specifically, when I insert a new image, the URL of it is absolute!!
I mean:
http://<host>:<port>/irj/go/km/docs/documents/imagename.gif
I edited the url and remove the http://<host>:<port> so I get the relative url
/irj/go/km/docs/documents/imagename.gif
but when I save the settings, the system insert the hostname and port.....making the url absolute again!!
Is this a bug or I making a mistake?
The real problem arises when I transport the KM Content (using ICE), becouse after the transport, the url of the image in the new system keep being absolute... and keep referencing to the original hostname and port!!!
could anybody give me a tip or some advice???
thanks in advace!!!
best regards
Marcelo
pd: I am working on EP 7 SP 11

Hi Marcelo,
This is strange. We always insert links to images like "/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/images/test.gif", and it works ok in all environments. This link dynamically adds the <host>:<port> from the environment where it is being accessed from.
Are you seeing the <host>:<port> when you look at the source code of the page after it has been rendered?

Harman

How do I assign a link to an image without converting it to a symbol?

I've seen alot of instructions online on how to assign a hyperlink to an image. Alot of them say to convert the image to a symbol first and then add the appropriate Actionscript code (getUrl). I'm just wondering if there is a way to do it without converting it to a symbol (converting it to a symbol seems to add an artifact to one of the borders of the pic). Does anyone know if this can be done? Or must all images be converted to symbols to get links assigned to them?

you can't reference an object with actionscript unless it's converted to an object. so, if you want to click an image and have something occur (like execute a getURL) you'll need to convert the object. btw, there's no reason a converted object would be changed in appearance.

Images in iWeb

I want to put images in iweb that have no backgrounds. JPGs always have a white rectangular background but my photoshop images can have transparent backgrounds leaving the object "cropped". How can I have irregularly shapped objects cropped in iWeb?"

Make sure your image actually has an alpha channel (transparent background)...
Use PNG, or PSD... then drag the image into your webpage...

Absoulte url for a image

Hello,
I have a page that is an include file for another page in a
different folder. I put an image in the include file and contribute
loaded the image where I wanted, but on the page that includes this
file is looking for the image in the wrong location. All I need to
do is make the image source an absoulte url so it can be properly
read by the other page. Is there anyway I can get contribute to
except the absolute url for the include file. Hope you understand
my question. Below is fa older structure that might help explain.
include file located
www.url.com/zz/page.html
image in the include file located
www.url.com/zz/images/image.jpg
page showing broken image
www.url.com/yy/page.html
Thanks,

Hi ,
This is a known issue in Contribute 3.
Will be fixed in Contribute 4.

Need URL for BDS image

Hi. I recently uploaded an image file to the business document server through SHDI. I would like to display the image in a picture control on a custom screen, but I don't want to use a transaction variant or screen variant. So I need to get the URL of the uploaded image. The file name as provided by SHDI is 'SAPIM:TA_VARIANTS_IMAGES//THRIFT_SAV//systemlogo2.bmp'. I also uploaded a gif version. Does anyone know of a method or function module that I can use to get the URL for this image? I tried using DP_PUBLISH_WWW_URL, but that only will get images from the web repository (so far as I can tell). Any ideas? Please note that I am on R/3 version 4.6C. I'm using the load_picture_from_url_async method of class cl_gui_picture to load my image into my custom control.
Thanks,
April King

I solved my own problem. It turns out that I can use methods get_info and get_with_url from class cl_bds_document_set to get my bds image. Sample code was in program SAPRDEMOWORD97INTEGRATION, in case anyone else needs to see it.

Problem using url on local image

Hi,
i'm currently playing around with javaFx for a udpClient and i wanted to use Image included into my jar but doesn't work.
ImageView {
                    image: bind Image { url: ".//image//gradient.jpg" }
...it gives me:
java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: image//favicon.ico
        at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:567)
        at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:464)
        at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:413)any idea why? is it mean to be only deployed and not forcast to run as an application with internal reference to image?
thx you in advance

ok forget it.
too late over here :)
ImageView {
                    image: bind Image { url: "file:./image/gradient.jpg" }will do the trick

Adjusting images in iWeb removes part of the image

If I adjust the image, the bottom 8th of the picture will have a white bar across it. It even carries over when publishing.
Any ideas?

Hmm...this is interesting. It sounds like the white line problem that we've heard about before, but I've never heard of it affecting so much of the image. It probably depends on the aspect ratio of the image or something.
Try this...
1. Select the image in iWeb
2. Open up the Inspector and click over to the Graphics tab
3. At the bottom of the tab, change the opacity of the image to 99%
Now publish your page. Does this make any difference at all? BTW, what kind of adjustments are you making to the image??? Reflections?

Can't find images in Iweb SEO Tools to add alt-tags!

Hi everyone. I'm trying to add alt-tags to some images on an iweb site with iweb SEO tools but I can't get it to open the containing folder. I have a gallery set up with 6 categories and, in each of these categories, there are a few images. I navigate to the folder that contains each image (it actually contains 4 - the full sized image and three thumnails for use elsewhere - all of them jpgs) but iweb SEO Tools is just not recognising that the folder contains any images at all! I navigate my way through my file structure and, when I finally get to the containing folder, it hits a dead end and will not find the contents of it. Any ideas!?
An example of my file structure is as follows:
RRF
- Gallery
- Pages
- Landscapes_files
- Media
- dintonpastures [containing folder for images]
- dintonpastures.jpg [that SEO refuses to see!]
Any help would be really appreciated!!

Photo templates are written in Javascript and cannot be accessed by iWeb SEO. Only images you create on a blank page or without using the photo template (HTML generated). They don't tell you that on Rage's website, in fact I find their advertising misleading in that they claim that you can alt tag "all" images in iWeb. But, it's free software, so you get what you pay for.

How do i flatten an images in iweb?

I created a tile image as the background for my website and then I added an overlay with a gradient. I like the effect, it looks great but when I visit my website online I notice that it loads the background image first and then the new layer moment after. This makes the site look very unprofessional.
How do I flatten both of these images in iweb?

You might try this method: with the image file on the Desktop Control-click on it and select the Copy option in the contextual menu. Next go to the image in iWeb and click on it until it's selected and do a paste. It will replace the photo but I don't know if it will avoid the border/frame that the page layout adds to all photos added to the page.
