Creating graphics that will reveal a background image underneath?

I have a background image in my DW doc and I'm creating an interface in FW and some of the images I want to display as semi-transparent so the background shows through. I select the image, select transparency and lower it, save as a png32, though when I preview through DW the graphic doesnt display at all.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

My file consists of different slices. I tried clicking on both the graphic (a rectangle shape) and the slice, and I still do not see an Alpha Transparency option. There is a Transparent checkbox option in the Property Inspector, though it is greyed out.
Thanks.

How do I create Equal Height Columns with my Background Images?

Hi there,
here is my page http://www.allthingsprintuk.co.uk/ATPHome.html
My problem is that the side bar HTML list is coming off the page in IE. & also the html in the header can look awful due to browser settings.
My question is how do I create Equal Height Columns with my Background Images so that they fit with the HTML text? Is there a good link you can point me to, or a tutorial?
The only way I can see by doing it is slicing my images up into 3 (top middle & bottom) & then setting the middle to repeat y????
Or does anyone know of a way to create rounded corners WITH drop shadows in CSS that will work on all browsers?
Thanks in advance

Creating text that will scroll in a text frame

I have tried to create text that will scroll in a text frame by following this:
Create your text frame including any inline buttons or hyperlinks. Make note of its width and then draw the frame you wish to hold that content. Make it about 5-7 pixels wider than the text frame and align the two, top and left. Cut the text frame to the clipboard and choose the placeholder frame. Choose edit>past into.
With that frame select, from the overlay creator panel choose pan and zoom and check the pan only option.
When I get to the overlay creator panel and choose pan and zoom, it asks me to select a cropped image. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I am not creating any of the content on the pasteboard.
Please help. thanks

is the parenting frame cropping the inline text frame?

Is it possible to make a reflection of an image that will change with the image? [was: Reflection]

Is it possible to make a reflection of an image that will change with the image?

I believe that a Smart Object will solve your problem.
place your original image in a new file as a smart object and do the same for the reflection (made by Transforming, reducing the opacity and introducing a mild horizontal motion blur) on its own layer, then:
by double clicking on the smart object in the layers panel and returning to the original image, any change you make in the original and save, will automatically update the upright image and its reflection.
Nice one Norm. Five Kudos points to you.

I am trying to create a button in flash that will display 4 separate images at the same time when clicked. I can't get the images to stay on when I take the mouse of the button. I need the actions script code to make this happen.

I am trying to create a button in flash that will allow the user to click on the button and 4 separate images show up at the same time. I can get the images to appear when I click the button but they will not stay on the screen. I need to know what code I use to make the images stay once the button is clicked, then I need to know exactly where I place that code. It does not appear to be possible to add the action code to the buttons layer since each time I add a new layer I just get another "up" "over" "down" and "hit" line.
Thank you in advance

It is not clear how you are trying to realize this from your description. If you are trying to create this within a button symbol it will not work. Explain your approach and if there is code involved, show what you have so far.

Creating business cards in Pages with background image

I am trying to use the Pages business card template and background image function of pages to create a business card that has an image on every business card on the sheet. I can't seem to find out how to do that. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Jim

Here is the basic method of having white text on a colored background: Insert a shape. While selected go to the Graphic Inspector and select a Fill color. Re-proportion the shape as needed. Insert a text box (or boxes) and type your text. Drag it (them) over the shape and change the color of the text to white (or any other color you desire). Select all and group. Duplicate as needed. Apply this procedure to your business cards or anywhere else.
Another method for applying a colored background to a text box: select the text box and Fill it from the Graphics Inspector and adjust the Inset Margin in the Text Inspector.

Create one button to change the background image

Hello,
can anyone help me create a button for a SPA525g phone which changes the background image of the phone which is now :
<BMP_Picture_Download_URL group="User/Screen">http://192.168.2.2:5000/provisioning/logo/cisco525g.jpg</BMP_Picture_Download_URL>
The button should also call to *1232
So with button IN the image should change to ciscoOUT.jpg and call to *1232
And button OUT should change the image to ciscoIN.jpg and call to *1231
I now have already
<PSK_1 group="Phone/Programmable_Softkeys">fnc=sd;ext=*[email protected];vid=20;nme=IN</PSK_1>
I also tried to do :

but then nothing happens ? I can see the image and choose update , but that is it.
Plus I want to combine the two option.

Creating animations that will import into FCP

What are some program options for creating and manipulating objects like squares, rectangles and circles that will be used for creating animations to be imported into protions of FCP projects. The final output will be DVD's. Director MX2004 works very well for creating the animations, however when converted to a QT movie and imported into FCP, the animations look like a copy of a VHS tape. (Export settings were component video.) The animations are not acceptable when viewed on both a TV and NTSC monitor. Is anyone successfully using Director for such an application? I would certainally appreciate any suggestions.
G5 2 X 2 Mac OS X (10.3.9) G4 15" Power Book

I agree about the material that is coming out of Director being the problem.
The fundamental questions is "is Director capable of this kind of output?"?? I was hoping someone would tell me "this is how I did it" or "It is impossible using Director". All I know is there was some animation from Director in at least top movie a couple of years--I don't remember its name. So someone was able to get animation out of Director good enough for the film industry!
As for other questions you posed. The vector graphics I need can be created and manipulated as I need in Director. The whole project could be done in Director and outputed as a cross platform "projector" from a Mac or PC version of Director. However, there some issues with keeping things "in time" using Director. Using Director for the whole project is "plan B".
With regards to your other questions. In short, I want to animate some very detaliled shop type activities that are hard to video and understand. The animations will compliment the video and will show/simplify concepts needed to learn particular shop skills.
I want to make and market a series of DVD on these shop activites. Yes I know it is not a small project. I have been working on problems relating to everything from copyrighting to the insurance/liability aspects for several years. I also have the hardware & software to make DVD "demos" and examples to "show and tell". Now I need some help getting the stuff to do what I want/need!
FCP is the best option for "putting together" audio, video and amimation before making a DVD.
Thank you for your input.

Creating button that will take you to table of contents pages

I'm using CS4 and have created a 30 page document with a table of contents (TOC) on page 2. On my master page I have previous and next page buttons that have rollover states. These work.
I want a button in the middle that will take you to the TOC page.
I have tried creating a text anchor on page 2 and setting the action of my button to go to anchor but in the button window the text anchors area is grayed out and has 'none' in it.
I also tried to have a button with a rollover state just for show (no action assigned) and putting an invisible hyperlink on top of the button. The link goes to page 2. This only works on the areas where my hyperlink does not overlap the button.
Is there a way around this?

How to create an easteregg that will reveal an image

I created a flash movie which resembles a control panel. I created a image of the group of people that worked on the project and I want the image to be hidden until the user types a key combination that would trigger the image to appear and dissapear when clicked. This url is something like what I was looking for, (www.virtualmarketingblog.com/how-to-create-alert-boxes-in-flash/) but I want an image to appear instead, can this be customized? The only problem is, I'm not really good at actionscript. Is there any tutorials out there that may show an easy way to do this. The attached file is a sample of my interface.
Thanks

I want put on image on top of another image that will be the background

First, I'm a big believer in doing a "search" to find some existing tutorial to help me. But, as with the last time I asked a question here, no other tutorial (on Youtube or Julieanne Kost's blog) addressed exactly what I needed. I came here and got my answer immediately. (searching here seems to only default to asking a question on a new thread so here goes)
So here's my question this time: say I have a pic of a beer bottle ( that I know how to select) and I have a landscape pic. I want the landscape pic as the background and just place (and probably resize) the beer bottle (or frothy glass of beer or whatever) on top of the other image. Sounds easy, right? The tutorials on Youtube would spend forever demonstrating how to use the Pen tool and would click here and there quickly and pretty soon I'm just lost.
I'm going to provide two pics. If it's different with putting two selected images on the same image background, please explain how to do that as well. Like I say, the last question I had (putting a label from one bottle to another, remember?) only here did I get clear concise instructions, instructions I didn't get anywhere else. Please be detailed. I didn't even know how to open my layers pallette last time!

Hi there Below I've provided some easy steps for moving a selection from one image to another.
1. Open up both images in Photoshop - you can see that I have two open tabs, one named "Bottle" and the other named "River".
2. Grab the Quick Selection Tool from the toolbar, as highlighted below. There are other ways to make a selection (including the pen tool), but for a simple shape like a bottle or a label, the Quick Selection Tool works great.
To select the bottle, just click and drag to "brush" in your selection. To change the size of the brush, use the bracket keys [ ] on your keyboard.
3. To clean up yor selection a bit, go to Select > Refine Edge. Here you can adjust your selection. I've check the Smart Radius option and increased the selection radius a bit. When you're done, click OK.
4. Now you can move your selection over into your background. With your Bottle tab open, go to Edit > Copy (or hit command/control C on your keyboard). Go to the River tab and go to Edit > Paste (command/control V).
5. Done! The bottle now should be on a new layer with the river in the background. You can now resize or edit the bottle independently of the bacgkround layer.
If you need additional help, please feel free to post here again. In addition, I've posted two video tutorials below for you to look at. I hope this helped!

Cinnamon background changer will not load background images

Hello,
Since about yesterday (when I did a pacman -Syu), the cinnamon background changer refuses to load any images to change the background to. When I run cinnamon-settings from a terminal and select backgrounds, the following occurs:

So I'm assuming it's somehow not properly loading the images. I can't add any images manually either, since once I do it gives this error for that image as well.
I can provide a list of the packages updated. Cinnamon was not one of them and downgrading Cinnamon did not help.
Thanks in advance!
