Can you place a swf as the background image property?

Hi,
Below is a link to a homepage i am building and the client want's to have sound/flashing lighning built in to the background. The sound is no problem but I am worried I can't get a swf that size to load quickly.
Thank you in advance.

Far too big at 1.2MB and GIF is the wrong format.for this image.
Go back to the source image and export it as a JPG (Save For Web in Photoshop) from your favourite image editor.
You can make a Flash file seem like it's the background of the page, without actually being coded that way
e.g. http://www.aleosoft.com/flashtutorial_flashbackground.html
This was trendy a while ago on the web but rare these days, esp on a business website.

  • Can you place keyword headings outside the left margin without resorting to using text boxes?

    I want to place different keyword headings outside the margins of my document. Is there a way I can do this without resorting to textboxes?

    Hi Eli,
    You cannot place text outside the document margins without placing that text into a shape or a text box. Objects, including text boxes and the text they contain, may be placed outside the margins.
    Jerry's solution involves moving the left document margin closer to the edge of the table. As you've seen, doing so also adds cmplications to managing text behaviour on the left side of the page.
    Here's a variation on Jerry's suggestion that may be easier to manage:
    In the Document Inspector, set the left margin to the position at which you want the keyword headings to begin. (0.5")
    In the Layout Inspector, set the left margin to make the document margin + this layout margin equal to the position you want for the 'regular' margin fo the body of your document. (0.5" to give the default 1" body margin).
    Assuming there is text before the first Keywordheading:
    Click immediately after that text, press return to insert a paragraph break, then go Insert > Layout Break to insert a Layout break.
    Type the single 'word' "Keywordheading" (without the quotes, and with no spaces), followed by a return, then go Insert > Layout Break to insert a second layout break.
    Double click Keywordheading to select it.
    Apply any formatting you want (I used a two point larger font size and Bold) for the heading.
    In the Layout inspector, set the left margin to zero.
    You now have a 'master copy' for your keyword heading, which can be copied, then pasted to each location you want this type of heading to appear.
    Select the first Layout Break, the line with 'Keywordheading', and the second Layout break, as shown in the image.
    Copy.
    Click immediately after the text preceding the next Keyword heading.
    Press return, then Paste.
    Repeat as needed.
    If you have alrady entered the text for these headings, you can use these steps to move them into the keyword heading spaces:
    For each heading:
    Select the words that make up the heading. Cut (command-X)
    Doubleclick 'Keywordheading'. Go Edit > Paste and Match Style.
    Repeat for next heading.
    If you have not yet entered the text for these headings:
    Doubleclick 'Keywordheading' to select it.
    Type the heading.
    Repeat.
    Note that after inserting these heaings, you can copy the three lines (Layout break, word(s)&return, Layout break) of any of them, then replace the text of that heading with the text of a new heading.
    Within the indented parts between headings, bulleted lists will behave normally.

  • Can you run Bridge CC in the Background the way you could with cs4, cs5, etc ?

    One of the best things about Bridge was that I could run it in the background (as in there is a little Br icon near my clock) and not have it taking up a space on my task bar.  I cannot seem to figure out how to do this with CC.  Any suggestions?  Running windows 7.

    The main problem for me is that I prefer that Brige stay always on background to not lost my navigation storic. As it was on earlier versions. Now every time I open Bridge CC it losts the lasts folders I was.
    It seems you need a pref reset to restore this behavior. Only speaking about Mac I have Bridge started at start up of my machine (including some other apps) every morning automatically at the same time. So when I start working all apps are ready and at hand.
    Only problem I have is when I last used the output module before shutting down, this does not seem able to remember the full size screen (30") but resizes to about 25 " at start up. In all other occurrences it opens with the last used window full screen and showing the folder last use.
    Also I often use multiple windows for ease of having different workspaces and navigation at hand just by cycling through the windows. It would be nice if Bridge remembered all open windows from the previous day but sadly enough this is not possible. The one last used however should show again after start up.
    As for last used manual sort order, Paul Riggott once wrote a script to retain the last manual sort order used because Bridge it self is not capable of this to retrieve once it has been altered.

  • How can you adjust vertical photos in the interactive image widget?

    It appears that adding a vertical image to the Interactive Widget automatically crops the top half of the image and won't let you adjust the default view.
    Anyone else having this? Solving this?

    Same problem. I cannot move the default position of the image. If you hide the Title, then at least the full image is visible, but it cannot moved and it is aligned to the top of the image area.

  • Can you lock the background image orientation?

    Hello all
    Is there a way to lock the image orientation? When I turn the iPad, I want the apps to rotate, but I want the background image to stay portrait.
    If not, is there someplace i can suggest the feature?
    Thanks!

    No. It will orient along with your view. You can post feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

    Can email be kept open in the background when you open a web page?
    Thanks, that helped.

    If you mean using the mail app - yes it can be kept open. You do not have the multiple open windows feature in iOS like on a computer so you still have to navigate back to the mail app via double tapping the home button or by swiping to switch apps if using multitasking gestures.

  • Can you use a swf file like a background image

    The header has a css background image and the spry menu bar
    lays over it. Is it possible to attach a swf file as the background
    image in css or even in html?
    Maybe as a background-attachment somehow? Or simply in the
    html code?
    I am using CS4 but I believe the website was created with
    CS2.

    I don't know anyone, that knows what they are doing, that uses flash for websites anymore
    There are a few holdover gaming sites that still use it, but even those guys are making the move to JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3.  
    @bretC,
    There are far too many people using mobile & tablet devices that don't support Flash (iOS, Android, Blackberry, etc...)  It's not good business to ignore those people.
    In terms of alternative technologies, look at HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations made with Edge Animate.  These are well supported on all modern devices.  Edge Animate is part of the Creative Cloud plan.  Products | Edge Animate | Adobe TV

  • How can I get a parallax effect with Hub Control or change the background image scroll rate?

    Like the title says, I'm trying to get more of a parallax effect with a Hub Control in Windows Phone. In my current hub app, the picture has to be as wide as the entire hub, and it scrolls through the picture quickly. I'd like a way to make the background
    image scroll slower than the content on top of is.
    I've looked everywhere in the API docs, but I can't find anything saying how to do this. :(

    Hi PTK7,
    Yes, currently there is no documentation for this effect, however we can manually control the image scroll speed:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10589192/windows-8-gridview-parallax-background-image
    Also I found a sample from code center:
    https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/ParallaxBackground-A-Metro-f929e558, take a look to see if these helps.

  • How can I put a vertical menu ON TOP OF the background image?

    I've taken a screenshot to describe my problem.
    http://i48.tinypic.com/10ndeg4.jpg
    I want to put the menu on top of the background image. Compare it to placing another image on top of the background image. HOW on earth can I do this?

    Did you try putting the image in a <div> and setting the background image for the <div> with CSS.  Then within the <div> place your menu.
    Just a thought.

  • Can you place an image on top of a movie?

    I am creating a slideshow. The background image is an HD movie of some candles burning. I want to then have smaller images fade in and out next to the burning candles, one after another, with some panning and zooming as well. In other words, I want to have an image over a movie, but I need each image to be the same size and in the same position for each one. I have created a similar slideshow, building everything in Photoshop then importing the PSD file into Premiere. It was the only way I could figure out how to get the images to be in the same position in Premiere; it worked out great! However, wanting to pan and zoom I obviously need the images to be larger than the actual size I want to achieve the panning and zooming affect. So how do I do it? If I import the images into Premiere separately how do I get them to be on the same X & Y coordinates? Can I do a mask effect in Premiere as one can in Photoshop? I was going to build the project in Photoshop’s timeline, but you can’t control the length of a clip, as well as other factors, with any consistency, so it’s becoming too time consuming.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Thank you, Bill, your article will be very helpful. I appreciate it.
    My question, However, is not getting answered, and either I am not getting it (which is highly likely) or I am not explaining my situation correctly, so I'm going to try and explain it in more detail if you don’t mind.
    I understand the whole PIP solution and that helps me in part.
    Here is what I have and what I am trying to do.
    My video is 1280x720. On the right hand side there are candles lite. On the left hand side i have an image 724x504. I'm going to have images fade in and fade out with in this 724x504 frame. I would also like to pan and zoom the image within the 724x504 dimensions. To do that I need my images to be larger than 724x504. I don't want to scale ALL the images to 724x504 in Photoshop then bring them into PrPro because I wont be able to pan and zoom the image. I need some sort of Mask, like in Photoshop, but don't think I can do it in PrPro. I want the viewer to only see the 724x504 frame and not the excess of the image needed to pan and zoom.
    I hope I was clearer in describing my issue.

  • Can you add a skin to the video object?

    In as3, I've created my own video object to play an flv file. The code starts out something like this:
    var myVideo:Video = new Video(320,240);
    I would like to attach a .swf skin for it but cannot find any examples on how to do it. All examples are instructions for adding code to a instance of the FLVPlayback object.
    My question is can you only attach skins to the FLVPlayback object?
    Thanks

    To save time, I wanted to use the pre-built skins that are used for the FLV components. I guess to use those skins you need to use the FLV class and if you wanted create your own buttons you would use the generic Video object.

  • How can I get the background image of my website to cycle on a timer?

    I'm afraid my experience with Javascript (Which I'm certain this will require) is fairly limited and I'm still quite new to Dreamweaver, so I'm posing this question to you guys.
    I'd like the background image of my website to change every five minutes or so, however I'm unsure of how to accomplish this. For those of you with Windows 7, you can set the background of your desktop to cycle through a folder of images every ten minutes or so. I'd like something similar for this website.
    Thanks in advance.

    Supersized can do this for you with very less need for code.
    http://www.buildinternet.com/project/supersized/ - Take a look at their demo. It's also a lightweight plug-in and it has a lot of great effects you could use. Also x-browser friendly.

  • Can you listen to music without the headphones?

    Can you listen to music on the iPod Classic without the headphones?

    The Classic does not have an internal speaker, so either you need to:
    plug in headphones
    connect the iPod to an amplifier and speakers (from the headphone socket)
    connect it to an iPod Dock cable and plug that into an amplifier
    Place the iPod into the Dock on something that has a Dock connector and amplifier built in.

    I read an answer on another issue that said you don't deauthorize iPhones from the phone, and to deauthorize everything from the iTunes store. But when I go to the iTunes store, it tells me my computer is not authorized, (I just had this computer repaired & the iTunes store doesn't recognize it, and it says we already have 5 devices authorized). Is there a place to deauthorize everything at once, so I can add devices back individually?
