Could work an animated flash bitmap image exported in html 5, in DPS ?

I'm new in DPS, just started for a couple of weeks and I need to use a image in an animation.
I created the animation in inDesign exported in .fla, used de toolkit js, load it in a container with web content overlay, and when I preview it with Adobe Content Viewer it doesn't work, it apears a blank screen. Neighter of animation from that stage won't work.
To be very precise any animation works fine, when I test the html in a browser, the problem appears only in the content viewer.
The animation is very simple: smal logo entering in the stage from the right, not very complex.
I tried in flash with other images in a test file and loaded in inDesign, and still don't work. Other vector animation works well, no problem. I saw that if I have an image in library in flash and export a simple animation with a vector ball, won't work in indesign preview, with content viewer.
My question is, Could work an animated flash bitmap image exported in html 5, in DPS ? If so, what should I need to do ?
Thank you in advance.

Two possible solutions I was considering:
1) In my index/first page, have all the swfs present (scaled to 1x1, behind something, or invisible) and have a preloader code on that first page... so all the content gets loaded before continuing onto the rest of the site. That would certainly work in making the site run quick... but would mean a relatively lengthy wait at the start. Luckily, unlike my current site, all the actual site content (aside from the header/nav interface) is HTML... so the bulk of the site's content is in the HTML pages, not as part of the Flash header... so it probably wouldn't be too horrific a wait. However, it would be loading EIGHT of these swfs, since there are eight pages... so then maybe it would be....
2) Have an swf that consists of just the 'draw up' of the interface, and it's idle state... then when each button is pressed, load a new swf to replace the main one, which has the specific page's animated title sequence, and ends with the code to load the html page. So, each separate HTML page would have embedded into it only the main swf, and the title animation swf would be swapped in when a nav button is pressed. Main issue here is each button press would envoke a preloader sequence (kind of tedious)... and unfortunately all the 'main interface' elements loaded in with the main swf would have to be loaded in again at the start of each animated title swf (although none of the draw up... just the loading of the interface and buttons). For highspeed users, it should be okay, I guess....
Thoughts or better ideas?

Best practices for working with large placed bitmap images?

Hey all,
I need some advice on the best way to approach building these files. I've been working on some banners that are very large: 3 x 7 feet.
Each banner has a simple vector graphic treatment at the top and bottom (rectangle with a different colored rule on top, and vector logo) and a small amount of text, just a URL and a headline.The headline is type (not converted to outlines) and usually has some other effect applied to it, say a drop shadow or outer glow. Under these graphics is a full bleed image. The placed images need to be 150ppi at actual size, so they're honking big, sometimes up to 2GB. Once the layouts are approved, they have to go to a vendor for output.
The Illustrator docs are really large, and I've read in other threads how to combat that (PDF compatibility, raster settings). But even still, does anyone have any insight into the best way to deal with these things? The dimensions are large, and then the images are large, and it just makes for lots of looking at the spinning ball of death...
If it were me, I'd build them in InDe, but the vector graphics need to be edited for each one, and I so don't like to do that in InDe unless forced. To me, it's still ultimately a page layout app, not a drawing app. (Old school here.)
FYI, our machines are all MBPs with 8G ram and the latest Intel Core 2 Duo chips, 2.66 and 2.8GHz. If we keep the files local (as opposed to working on the server) it should be fairly zippy... No?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

You can get into memory trouble with very large placed pdf files. Tiffs too.
This has to do with the preview, which contains much more information than you need for working with.
On the other hand if you place EPSs and take care not to turn on overprint preview you can get away with huge files.
If you do turn on overprint preview your machine will slow down a lot and the file may become totally unmanageable.
Compare this with to InDesign where you can control the quality of the preview. A hi-res preview will slow you down and most often you don't need it anyway.
I was working (in Illie) the other day on much larger files than you mention – displays for whole walls – and had some considerable trouble until I reverted to the old EPS format. They say it's dying but it ain't dead yet .

Converting bitmap image sequences to Flash

Hello,
I use LightWave 3D to create a set of characters that are
simple talking heads. Composited in Mirage and edited in VT4, it's
all bitmap images. You can see a sample here:
Subversive
Entertainment
That version was intended for TV but isn't going to sell. I'd
like to try it as an animated editorial cartoon embedded in a Flash
player at online newspapers. But when I compress the video it
doesn't convert as cleanly as I know a direct Flash file would. I'd
like to import the image sequences into Flash and converting them
to symbols(?) or movie clips(?) or(?)...
What would be the best way to handle the image sequences in
Flash? They are currently 180 frames long for each character, but I
could reduce the image sequence to as little as 60 frames. Once the
image sequence is converted to a set of symbols(?) they would be
re-used over and over.
I imported a 180 frame image sequence and it put one image on
each frame in the Flash timeline. How would I convert that entire
image seqence to a sequence of symbols(?) that I could re-use. When
I exported it as a movie it made a .swf file that looks great but I
don't think that's what I want to work with within Flash. (I'll
create a differnt background in FLash as well.)
Whew,
Hope this made sense.
TW

after importing, select the entire range of keyframes
containing your image sequence. Right-click
over them and select COPY FRAMES.
Open Library and create a new symbol.
PASTE FRAMES into frame 1 of this new symbol.
On main timeline create a new layer (delete original layer)
and drg instance of your new symbol to
it. Now you have a nested animation that can be reused.

Exporting animated symbol to image sequence

Hi guys!
I'm unable to export an animated symbol to image sequence properly because the symbol does not animate.
I created the tweens in multiple layers, then cut-pasted all layers to a new symbol. I did this so I could then just do some tween motions on the symbol.
The tweening is perfect, but when I export the image sequence, the images do not animate the way it does on the Flash player. All I get is an image sequence with the tweened symbol, but the symbol itself does not animate.
I'd really appreciate if you guys could give me a tip on how to get the symbol to animate when exporting the image sequence.
Alternatively, is there a way to motion-tween multiple layers simoultaneously? (Layers which are themselves tweened)
Thank you guys!
Any additional info, I'll be checking regularly so I can provide as much description as possible to get this to work.

Ok, I figured it out!
I changed the symbol type to "Graphic," and I was able to see the animation in the timeline. Easy!
Now I just exported the movie to png sequence, and bam! Magic!
If anyone has this problem, don't hesitate to ask me and I'll ellaborate on what I did.
Thanks!

Animation within an AVI export - Flash MX

I have Flash MX. I have created a Flash movie of the old
PACMAN game. The Pacman's mouth opens and closes as it moves.
Plays perfect in Flash but once I export as an AVI movie the
Pacman appears as a yellow circle ONLY. It's mouth does NOT open
and close automatically as it does in the Flash movie.
Summary: Animation within a Flash MX movie doesn't export and
play in AVI format.
Anyone seen this before? Have I missed something?
Thanks

Seen it way too many times.
Flash MX export to video does not support movie clips.
And if you happen to search the forum before posting, you
would find hundreds
of posts talking about this very issue and how to work out
flash to video exports.
Look for "Embedded Movie Clips"

Need Help Putting a Flash Widget into an Image Being Exported into HTML

Hi, I'm making a banner for the top of my band's MySpace. I only got into making layouts and such because we didn't want to spend the money on hiring a professional, so I'm kind of new to this and I don't know if anyone can help but what I'm trying to do is put a flash widget (for Twitter) into an image on Photoshop which I will then export into html. Can I do this on Photoshop or do I need to do it on another program. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

No, this requires you to learn HTML and create the proper embedding code and page layout.

Can't select text when export in HTML and Images

I am entirely new to Fireworks and I can't find anyone to teach me Adobe Fireworks. I followed some youtube tutorials but most of them are vague. I am still figuring the way to export from Fireworks to Dreamweaver, without affecting its contents like bitmap images and the text. When I export in HTML and Images format and opened the htm file, I can't select the text I've inserted in Fireworks. Can anyone tell me what I should do?

I cant scroll below or above viewable section of text in any of my Macbooks, iMac, Mac Mini. Never have been able to, never could, except by pressing the arrow keys whilst selecting, to move up or down.
Its stupid
I dont have flash installed (never will do since my first virus of video ad sound running in background from Cnet was downloaded and kept returning until i deinstalled flash).
I believe that this is a universal issue because none of my Macs can scroll out of screen when selecting text, which as a webmaster and developer, is a pain in the butt
My issue is not in word documents, its in everything

Outtputting Bitmap Images

I have a project that requires we save a movieclip as a
bitmap. I have researched this and found that I can convert the
movieclip to a bitmap object and use the jpgencoder or pngencoder
classes to convert the data to the correct format. However, my
question is : can I get this to work locally through a flash
application that is wrapped in a projecter file. IE save a bitmap
file locally. I hope this is clear. Thanks.

Is there a way really one can use to convert bitmap
images into vectored images?
I ask this question in response to a problem that I
have. I take photos using a camera of resolution 72
pixels per inch and then process them in a program I
have written in Java. I then print cards as the
output of the system processing. The picture quality
I then produce is a worry. The images are blurred and
they rather look like zoomed bitmap images. Its not
very disgusting but its something the clients are
complaining about. And what makes you think that vectorizing an image is actually an improvement?
Suggestions with regards to where I could be going
wrong are very much welcome.Get a better camera.

Using a script to get the color of a colorized Black & White Bitmap image

I've been running into this wall for quite some time and would greatly appreciate any help that can given for it.
I have an Illustrator script that runs inside of a BridgeTalk session within an InDesign script. Yeah, it's complicated. The upshot is that the Illustrator part opens up an EPS file, looks through all objects on a certain layer in that file, and returns an array of the colors used in it. So, it looks at fill colors, stroke colors, gradient stops, etc. One of the biggest stumbling blocks (next to PlugIn Items, which I'll ask about in a separate post) is getting the color of raster images.
Most raster images, I realize, are going to be CMYK or RGB images, but our company mostly deals with either Grayscale images or Black & White Bitmaps that are embedded in the EPS file. Those two allow the ability to colorize them by simply selecting them and then choosing a color, such as a spot PANTONE color from one of their color books.
Now, I need the script to read the color that the raster image has been colorized with. This works okay for images that have a GrayScale color space, as the script just looks at Colorant[0] of that image. However, I run into a problem with Black & White Bitmap images. Here's a piece of code that I try to make work with an EPS file that has a raster image:
var document = app.activeDocument;
for (var i = 0; i < document.layers[0].pageItems.length; i++) {
          // Stepping through each item on the layer.
          var currentItem = document.layers[0].pageItems[i];
          $.writeln("Current item is " + currentItem.typename);
          $.writeln("Number of channels is " + currentItem.channels);
          $.writeln("Color Space is " + currentItem.imageColorSpace);
          $.writeln("Colorized Grayscale? " + currentItem.colorizedGrayscale);
          $.writeln("Number of Colorants: " + currentItem.colorants.length);
          for (var j = 0; j < currentItem.colorants.length; j++)
                    $.writeln("Colorant number " + j + " is " + currentItem.colorants[j]);
          $.writeln("Its parent is " + currentItem.parent);
          $.writeln("Parent's typename is " + currentItem.parent.typename);
This code runs successfully on an Illustrator file that has a Black & White Bitmap image on the top layer, but if you try and run it, you'll see the problem: Even if you've colorized your Bitmap image with a PANTONE spot color (and the script even returns "true" on the line "Colorized Grayscale?"), Colorant number 0 is "Gray". It should be the spot color assigned, not "Gray".
Can anyone please help me figure out how to get the script to recognize the actual colorant of a Black & White Bitmap image in Illustrator?

If you're a professional photographer with 50,000 pictures stored now and more coming all the time, you need to forget about using iPhoto and get yourself some professional-quality digital asset management software. iPhoto is not meant for people like you, and instead of providing a simple, elegant one-stop answer to all your needs, iPhoto is actually complicating your life.
You need an application that will:
- catalog ALL your images and keep track of where they are, no matter how many DVDs, folders, partitions or hard drives they're spread over;
- display thumbnails of ALL of them, even when the DVD that contains them is not present in any drive, so you can select all the ones you want for a project;
- find and copy (or export) the originals of all the files you've selected in the browser window, even if it means prompting you to insert the necessary DVDs for all of them.
I suggest Googling "digital asset management software Macintosh" and seeing what turns up. I used to use an old version of Extensis Portfolio, and even that would have been better for your purposes than iPhoto is.

This implies your site is not properly defined in DW. Go to Site > Manage Sites.
Or simply go to your other installation of DW and export the site definition file from Manage Sites.
Save it to a flash stick or other removable drive. Then import the STE file into your 2nd installation of DW.

Image hyperlinks are lost upon export to HTML

Hi,
I have many documents I need to convert to HTML. I need the images in the documents to be links. This has worked fine, according to normal procedures if the images are png, jpg, or gifs. However, most of my images are not those formats. So if I have an eps, pdf, and tiff in my document, upon html export, there is no hyperlink. That is, the <a href></a> tags are not in the HTML at all. But if I convert the images to png, jpeg, or gifs, put them in my document, then choose that file format for conversion, the links work fine.
I want to say there is an issue with the link tags upon file conversion. It could be something else, but I am not sure why it works for certain file formats and not others. I figured ID would keep the association with the hyperling after converting an image from say and eps to jpg. If anyone knows what if going on, that would be most helpful, or if anyone knew of a good way to keep hyperlinks for images after exporting to HTML, I would greatly appreciate it.
(I can obviously add the link tags myself in the HTML, or convert the images myself and put them in the docs, but I have many documents and would like some automated way.)
Thanks for the help!

Might help if you told us what version of InDesign you're using.

Poster Image in Strobe Player: Must it be a Bitmap Image?

Hello,
Quick question: must the poster image be a bitmap image in the Strobe and Flash players in OSMF? I would like to use .jpg images because the quality is much better, etc. When I try to create an image in Photoshop and convert it to a bitmap, the quality is very degraded and must be in black and white.
Thanks so much.
Jim

Thanks very much for the reply. I had uploaded a .gif, which didn't work, then went into the documentation and saw it written that poster images were bitmap images and assumed that meant that I need to use a bitmap in order for it to work.

Please incorporate the Crop & Erase facilities on Bitmap Images in the upcoming version of ai CS7

Please incorporate the Crop & Erase facilities on Bitmap Images in the upcoming version of Illustrator CS7.

At first I was for Illustrator to have a page layout capability and made a feature request to that regard then I obtain Quark and came to the forum and thought well I have that capability and then I realized there were other users that needed Illustrator for layouts and so I backed users like Gary Newman who as i recalled were for multiple pages in Illustrator but I was against making Illustrator a page layout application since it was not designed for it but thought it should have a page making tool but thought it should be one that offer multiple size pages or if you wish multiple size documents within a document.
When they introduce artboards I pointed out that this tooll offered the possibility for a multiple page capability that was more than just pages since you could make pages or if you prefer different size doicuments within one document and then suggest the ability to ba able to name the artboards, like Letterhead, Envelope, Business Card, Mailing Label etc abnd the ability to rearrange them at the moment my most recent suggestion is Master Artboards.
The reason for artboards instead of just a page layout mechanism is one that already exist in ID and two the user of illustrator are artist that Illustrate or work with Illustration or artwork that is often used with ext and photos but are not necessarily page layout designers andmore than likely would employ the use of text to work with a specific Illustration or group of illustrations where the text and art might be integrated as a work into itself as opposed to an element on a page and that might often be the end design of that page. Such as a childrens book!
I was never opposed to the feature of being able to output pages from Illustrator I am opposed to amking it a page layout application and now tith the Cloud which will give Adobe the opportunity to build a modular suite of creation tools it will be even less necessary, the Multiple art feature will develop in my opinion and will include supoport for die cutting as well as packaging tools. Those tools will relate to Illustrator and may eventually give way to a new way to cross application tools.
The Future is coming soon at a Cloud near you, soon is like ten years or so.
