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 use a JPEG file as a background image for my vi in 8.5

Im working on a vi that I plan on using as part of an alarm system. I would like to use a JPEG file of my house as a background image for the vi, or possibly to just be displayed in a window on the control panel. I have seen people use their own images before, but never looked at what this involved.
Im trying to use the "read JPEG file" vi and the "draw flattened pixmap" vi to accomplish this. The vi does run, but nothing shows on the front panel. If I try to create an indicator from the "new picture" output of the "draw flattened pixmap" vi, I get an empty white window on the front panel.
Any advice?
Thanks

I figured this was the problem. And to the OP, I'm glad a bitmap worked, but no I didn't mean use any sort of LabVIEW programming at all. I meant open your image in Microsoft Paint, Press ctrl+A to select the whole thing. Then copy the image to the clipboard. Now select your front panel and press ctrl + v to paste it. No programming needed and the image is there. However, if you want to programmatically change it, you will need a picture control.

When I reload an HTM page using a SWF file like a   menu, the HTML page doesn't shows the SWF again!

Dear Sirs,
I hope to be directing my question into the correct forum's place.
I'm new in flash and I'm trying to make some tests
My problem is the following:
I included one SWF file into 3 HTM pages.
This SWF works as a little menu.
The SWF file (named "menu.swf") contains 3 items working as command buttons to access the three different HTM pages
Each HTM page contains the same "menu.SWF" file, some HTML text and one picture.
The swf contains:
Button 1 -> calls page1.htm using:
            on (press) {
            getURL("./page1.htm", "_top");
Button 2 -> calls page2.htm using:
            on (press) {
            getURL("./page2.htm", "_top");
Button 3 -> calls page3.htm using:
            on (press) {
            getURL("./page3.htm", "_top");
When I enter to "page1.htm" it appears correctly showing the swf file and all the HTML text.
It is OK.
But when I'm in "page1.htm" and I click on "Button1" (to reload "page1.htm") the only thing that I can see (after reloading page1) is the HTML text and the picture, but I cannot view the "menu.swf" file.
"menu.swf" remains in its place, but "invisible".
You can click on its command buttons, but anytime I click on the button that loads the same page (for example: "Button 1" to reload "page1.htm") the
swf file(s) doesn't appears.
The same thing happens when I'm in page 2 with Button 2 to reload page2 .htm, and so on.
How can I do to solve this problem?
Sorry for my not good english but I'm spanish speaker.
Thank you!
Gus

The path in the buttons is not correct once you navigate to the htm page.
So here you are on the landing page and the menu button says to get to "page1.htm" go up one folder level (../) to the file page1.htm.
Now once you are up one level, either you loose access to the .swf because from that page the path to the .swf is not correct, or if the .swf does show, then the path in the buttons back to the other pages is not correct, because you are now one folder level higher.
If I am mis-reading your post and all pages are in the same folder, then remove the "../" part before the page name in the URL. Or perhaps you are using ./ to denote the current directory... I'd still suggest removing it. So the the getURL would look like this :
getURL("page1.htm", "_top");
if all pages are in the same folder.
And if I am reading your post correctly, then you cannot use the same button URL to get to ("./page1.htm", "_top"); and once on page1.htm use that same URL to get back down to your landing page.
So I'd say it's a pathing problem.
Give that a try and see if it helps.

Can you use an XML file to make Subclips for you?

Hi everyone,
I know this is a bit of a long-shot, but I am wondering if I can use an XML file(made after logging a few tapes, but before capture) to make subclips for me?
Basically I have a painful project with 2 tapes i had to capture separately as 1 long individual clip each due to time-code breaks, but as i did first Log & Capture as usual (only to later find it wouldn't batch capture) i didn't want my hard work to go to waste!
Hope I explained that clearly enough,
Adam

I'm assuming you captured using the non-controllable device setting and have the clip including TC breaks and blank areas etc.
Try this:
Load the clip into the Viewer and play it. Press M to set markers wherever you want them.
If you want to give the marker a more decriptive name, press M a second time whilst the playhead is positioned on the marker. A dialog will open with text input fields. Or, click the marker in the Browser, then click the marker’s name to select it. You can now change the name.
Drag in the Browser to select all the markers or click the first one, then shift click the last one.
Choose Modify > Make Subclip. This will make all the subclips in one go and if you gave your markers new names, your subclips will use them.
The subclips appear in addition to the original clip with the markers. You can rename the subclips, if you want. You can review the subclips, deleting any clips you might not need. If you do remove unused clips, you can use the Media Manager to remove your unused footage from disk, leaving the media for your remaining subclips alone.

Can you play/view swf files on adobe air for android?

Hi, yes; I'm new here, as well as to Adobe Air, and I'm still trying to learn the ropes around here, and I apologize in advance if this has already been asked, or I have placed this question in the wrong forum.
The thing is, I was wondering if it was possible to play my SWF files via adobe air for android; and if so, how? Thanks in advance either way.

Can you please give directions where can i clear that cash.
Anyway i don`t think its the case, because this is first time i hooked phone to internet, and first time i launched Android app store.
Edit:
I went to https://market.android.com and there is Adobe air app. But when i try to download it says that my device doesn't support it (Samsung Galaxy GT-I5500) By default it comes with android 2.1 and doesn't support Adobe air, but i upgraded firmware to 2.2.
Maybe that is the reason it doesn't show me Adobe AIR in app store - based on my phone, not my Android version ?

Can you use QT mov. files on ipod

is it possible to use quicktime mov. files on ipod, i have them in my itunes but am wondering if this is possible,
thankyou

You seem to be confusing the file format (.mov) with its content (compression format). If the .mov file does not contain a format compatible with your iPod, then you must convert it to a compatible format. The specifics for this conversion depend on the specific format present in your source file, what system you are using, and the software you have available, are willing to download, or purchase.
For instance, let's say you have a .mov file which contains a "muxed" MPEG1 movie. If you have a Mac, you could use the free iSquint application to turn it into an iPod compatible movie. On the other hand, Windows users could use the free Videora iPod Converter to do the same thing.
Use your QT Player "Show Movie Info" window to determine in which format your source file is actually enconded and go from there.

Can you use a DVR recorded stream as a VOD?

When a DVR stream finishes publishing, can you use the cached file as a VOD?
Where is the DVR file stored?

DVR is nothing but record-in-progress file , so once you finish publishing, the recorded file can be used just like any other VOD. DVR file is stored where your VOD files would be stored. Basically there is nothing like DVR file - DVR is just a functionality which gives you power of live and flexibility of VOD, ti gives you feeling of live but basically its recording in progress and since its gettting written to disk , you can pause and seek over it. Hope this answers your question.

How can you tell if a file is being used in your project or not?

How can you tell if a file in your bin is being used in your project or not? My director dragged hundreds of reference files into my project and only used a few of them. I'd like to do some house cleaning and delete the ones that are not in use. This project file has 100 sequences in it, so it would be a tough manual hunt to figure this out.
In Premiere Pro (or Flash for example), where all the information is in the Project Bin such as in/out times and duration, there is where it tells you how many times that piece of media has been used or if it hasn't been used yet.
Can FCP tell me this info?
Thanks for yout time!
-Monty

Monty,
Within FCP, there is a menu item called "Media Manager" (depending on what version you are in). This would be worth your while to look into. It basically organizes your project by moving/archiving any used assets of a project and leaving out un-used assets. It saves a ton of disk space.
For example, say you have a 5 minute clip with an in/out point that is just 30 seconds. Media Manager will "archive" just that 30 seconds, not the entire clip. There is even a setting that you can add additional "handles" time to the front andd back of the clip if you think you may need to add or change transition.
Do a google search. I was just watching a few Youtube videos on this myself.

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

Can you use an iTunes gift card to purchase things actually in an app? (Buy "coins" using the gift card?)

No idea, but it seems like you should be able to. You can give it a try, but will have to figure out some way around the automatic 1-click ordering that the App Store now does by default.
It certainly seems like something deserving of a feedback form submission, though ...

Can you use airport extreme 802.11n for files backup

Can you use airport extreme 802.11 for files back up and sharing

You can if you connect a hard drive that has been formatted correctly to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups for this type of setup, but you could store regular files this way.

Can you use earphone jack and continue to use blue tooth connection to speakers like bose

Can you use earphone jack and continue to use blue tooth connection to speakers like bose

Hi,
I'm a owner of the X-fi Elite Pro, and for me the headphone + speakers settings works very well. Just to be sure, you bought the X-Fi XtremeGamer Falalty Pro Series? and not the XtremeGamer Fatalty Champ Series or even the old regular X-Fi Fatalty? If so, I'm quite sure you need the I/O box with the 6.35 mm (/4 inch) steroe jack. My headphones are connected through the /4 inch jack on the Elite Pro unit and my 5. surround system through the X-Fi card's 3x /8? mini jack.
I guess you have to buy the X-Fi I/O Dri've Upgrade Kit (or the Console Upgrade Kit) to use your headphones and speakes at he same time. I chose the Console because i couldn't li've with a thick and ugly digital cable sticking out in the front of my PC?
Hope it helped!
