Creating photo gallery - newbie needs help!

Hey guys!
Ok, so I've never really gotten into action script, which is
why I'm using
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm
as a guide, great tutorial :) But I seem to have some problems.
I downloaded the zip file at the bottom of the site (because
I'm lazy) and I've managed to put my own images into the thing -
but, the images aren't scaling correctly. I did do the 100%
transform thing, but still I can only see a little piece of the
image when I press preview. I was wondering if there's any
actionscript code that I could put in so that they would scale
correctly inside the mask? And also, is there a sollution if I'm
having both vertical and horizontal pictures?
If you have any other tutorial for photo galleries that you
can recommend - I'd be very greatful!
(Sorry if I'm confusing.. I'm confusing myself too..)

MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing wirelessly to XP shared printer

MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing to XP shared printer
Bear with me please. I read tons of articles on this but somehow as a newbie to MAC (girlfriends sick daughter), I am missing something. 10.5.2
Currently, she can print directly if we plug in the HP Deskjet printer directly via USB to the MACBook. No problem.
When we first got the MACBOOK I tried setting up the MACBOOK wirelessly to recognize the workgroup where the printer was attached via USB to the Windows XP PC. However it printed out garbage since I did not know there was a difference between XP printing and MAC (Gutenberg/gimp printing/drivers).
Now I know there is a difference.
But in reading various instructions, I no longer can find how to connect the MAC to the Windows workgroup. Note we do have a printer set up currently as USB-HP Deskjet on the Macbook (not sure I need to delete it yet).
I went to System Preferences on MACBOOK and clicked on printers, more printers. In the drop down box was CANON, APPLETALK, IP HP printing and Firewire. There was no WINDOWS selection as I saw in other online web instructions.
So not sure how to proceed to find a way to:
1. Connect to Windows workgroup (click on what exactly), step by step please!!
2. Add correct HP Deskjet 5490 printer (perhaps there is one with Gutenberg or perhaps I need Gutenprint-really not sure what I am talking about)
Thanks so much in advance. Fiancé's kid has had her cancer recur in a different place and someone was nice enough to buy her a MACBOOK as a gift.
Sincerely
Peter

OK...I figured it out...no need to reply. I noticed that there was another Protocol to use to set up the printer on the Mac, I was using LPD, so I switched it to HP Jet Direct-socket, and it prints fine...thanks. I am curious as to why LPD wouldn't work; if anyone has that answer I would like to know...thanks
Any chance of posting the Protocol you used to connect to your printer with your laptop? I'm have the exact same problem printing from my MB. Same error message "..is busy".

Photo Gallery with lightbox2 help

Hey people
Good news i finally got my photo gallery from bc to show in lightbox 2 using .xlm. the only problem im having is how to layout the thumb pictures. if you have a look here http://kookaburracreekretreat2.businesscatalyst.com/the-house.html
You will see some pictures but they going down the screen. How do i make them layout like 4 pictures across then go down?
As well if some one could help with with a auto crop for the thumb pictures that would be great. what i mean by this is some time clients will upload portrait and other time landscape. I want the thumb pictures to be crop to all the same size. at the moment when i do it just squashed the picture.
this is the css at the moment for the thumb picture .
.thumb { width: 50%px; height: 50%; overflow: hidden; }
img.thumb { width: 150px; height: 150px; crop: rect(0px, 50px, 50px, 50px) ; }
Any help would be great
Thank you

Looking at it from the box model, your containing div needs to be 4 elements wide. You then float all the elements left, which will stack them into a single row of 4 elements and the 5th element will not be able to fit because of the with and it will go into the next row. Kind of how BC stacks products inside the small product layout. They're all floated left and stacked to each other from the right.

Flash Photo Gallery Image Rollover Help

Ok I was wondering if anyone could help me with this I have
created a flash photo gallery which reads from an xml file. It uses
the following action script
myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {
//portfolioTag = this.firstChild;
numimages = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;
spacing = 70;
for (i=0; i<numimages; i++) {
this.picHolder = this.firstChild.childNodes
this.thumbHolder =
thumbnails.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
this.thumbHolder._x = i*spacing;
this.thumbLoader =
this.thumbHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail_image", 0);
this.thumbLoader.loadMovie(this.picHolder.attributes.thmb);
this.thumbHolder.title = this.picHolder.attributes.title;
this.thumbHolder.main = this.picHolder.attributes.main;
this.thumbHolder.onRelease = function() {
loader.loadMovie(this.main);
title_txt.text = this.title;
myPhoto.load("xmlphoto.xml");
I want to add in a rollover effect to the gallery similar to
the one in Flash Gallery 1 in photoshop
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2961
Would it be possible to take one of the as files from the Flash
Gallery source and intergrate it into my gallery or would I be
better just adding the rollover effect myself?

the thumbnail (or its unique parent if you setup this up
without fore-thought) should be a movieclip that stores a reference
to the larger image's path.
search google for flash gallery tutorial. there are bound to
be lots of tutorials.

Newbie needs help with Flex app

Hi there. I am very new to Flex and also fairly new to
programming although I do have a little experience.
I am trying to create an app which stores code snippets or
common text I tend to use every day in my documents and emails.
So basically I need help on a design level. I can refer to
the developer's manual for exact instructions for commands, but I
need to know what to code first.
The app will consist of:
-a tree directory structure where I can create groups.
-There will be a basic text editor where I input all my data,
basic text formatting options (font, bullets etc) would be a bonus.
-A search function
-Finally it will ideally allow multiple client apps write to
a central database file over a network
Can anyone suggest how I should approach such a project?
Or are there any tutorials / source files which demonstrate
each bullet point?
thanks.

Hey jono,
I'm new too. But I think I might know the right components.
If you google any of these + flex 3 you should get some
decent documentation
tree - advanced dataGrid component
basic text editor - rich text editor component
search function - well, you're gonna need to read up on
arrays, and arraycollection. Once you get that stuff working, you
can write up a function to search for a string in an array.
network functionality - HTTPService, you can dump the
datagrid into a database, and have it load the database when you
open up the application.
Give these things a shot, tutorials / sources will come with
the google searches.

How to create photo gallery rollover?

I want to create a photo gallery similar to that created by the slideshow widget where rollover on the thumbnail changes the enlarged image but I wish to place the individual thumbnails wherever I want (not grouped) eg. one thumbnail on the right, one thumbnail on the left etc. Can someone direct me to a tutorial or step by step instructions on how to accomplish this. I am trying to evaluate the software for purchase. Thanks

I answered my own question.
It's Design tab/ Object/ Insert Composition/ Lightbox Display. The thumbnails can be moved anywhere unlike the slideshow widget where they are grouped in one location.

DVD Studio Pro Newbie Needs Help!

I have a presentation deadline approaching and I need help desperately. I created my presentation using Keynote 3 (800*600 slides) and exported it to a Quicktime movie using H.264 compression at 29.97 fps (high quality settings). I then proceeded to use iDVD 6 and imported the Quicktime movie and created a simple menu using the templates provided.
I saved the entire project as a disk image and used the DVD player to check the disk image file. The quality of the DVD disk image file looked nothing like the original Quicktime movie. The images and text looked blurry and unprofessional.
I've spend quite some time on the iDVD and Keynote discussion forums and can't find a solution to my problem. The conclusion I've come is that the mpeg-2 encoder that iDVD 6 uses is problematic.
I don't want to start using DVD Studio Pro but I will in order to preserve the quality of my original Keynote presentation. So here are my questions...thank you in advance for your help guys....I really need it:
- I plan on playing the DVD on a 42" Plasma display at a sales office and also distributing it to potential buyers. Are my Keynote export settings optimal for iDVD use? Should I be using H.264 @ 29.97?
- If I must use DVDSP then what export/compression settings should I use in Keynote to preserve the quality? Keynote doesn't give me an option to use mpeg-2. I have ffmpegX so I can encode different formats...just need to know the correct one.
- Keynote exports separate audio and video files. I combined them using Quicktime. Is it possible to use the combined file in DVDSP or do they need to be separate.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any reading material pertaining to this matter please provide link.

PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

You can use a mov file that contains both audio and video. DVD Studio Pro will compress the mov itself. I am not overly familiar with the codec H.264 but either way its a codec that compresses the video, and if I am right that codec is used for compressing video to web based file sizes, which means heavy compression. When I create DVD material I use M2V format which is what DVD SP wants anyways so it cuts time and drive space in half. If you export an mov and import it into DVD SP, DVD SP compresses the file again which is M2V. Now you have two files, with twice the compression time. When creating M2V the only thing that you need o be aware of is the bit rate, which needs to be adjusted pending the duration of the video. Use 29.97 if you are NTSC and full frame rate, which you should be.
If you can not create an M2V file with associated aiff audio file, than export your QT file as uncompressed or as a QT Movie. The file itself will be huge but DVD SP will compress it properly.
I hope this helps

Newbie needs help with browser compatibility

Ok, so I'm new at this, so this may be something really
simple, but browser compatibility? I made a site in DW;html and it
shows up perfect in safari but internet explorer and firefox not so
much. I did a browser compatibility test in DW and it says nothing
is wrong with my pages, but obviously something must be!!
On my home page, the image of a house that I have next to the
company name shows up fine in safari but not any other browsers.
And my page layout, everything is moved over funny in other
browsers. Also there are link boxes around the table I created with
different brands of products. On safari the boxes do not show, but
all the other browsers it does!! I'm new at this and frustrated!!!
Need help!!
The link is holmeshifi.com and I posted code from the home
page!

OK thanks Ned sorry to soo dumb I'm on a learning curve here! what
I'm trying to do is go to the URLs of web galleries of images from my
main site
so I would presumably have to rename them on my server? i.e. does that
mean adding the code ", "_blank");
to the files on the server?
At the moment I have to use the back button on my browser window which
takes me back to the main site which then has to reload (tediously!)

Newbie Needs Help - Moving to CD

I'm running winXP and have downloaded the latest CS 5.5 version of Dreamweaver - I've created a small series of interlinking web pages with the 'main site' being a folder on my Desktop called Testsite. As far as I'm aware all the relevant pages/documets/images are contaned within my Desktop folder and everything runs from index.html which sits within my testsite folder. Ultimately, I would like to be able put a CD in a drive and automatically launch a browser that would open my home page (i.e. index.html). I need help on all this but I will googe for the auto launch bit - at the moment I would appreciate any advice on burnng my site to a CD. Because I have created the site on my PC I'm assuming all my dreamweaver internals/links are in the form C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\Testsite - so I'm guessing if I just copy my Desktop Testsite folder to a CD and run index.html on another PC my little web site is not going to work. I have googled but keep getting pages about running the actual Dreamweaver applicaton from a CD and installing it on a PC - not the way I want to do it. I'm not interested in moving Dreamweaver to a CD - just the site/pages I have created. Any advice apprecited.

All long as all of your files are linked with relative links (eg: /path/to/file.jpg and not http://www.domain.com/path/to/file.jpg) you should be fine. Auto-starting can be an issue because there are some operating systems that don't auto start discs. So you should maybe include instructions with your disc in case the autorun does not work.

Newbie needs help comprehending CSS Password Manager functions

Hello All:
I own a TP W500 4062-27U running Windows 7 Ultimate. The computer is trouble-free.
I am seeking a solution to the following need: An application that will securely remember my passwords for various websites, etc. and enable me to log in using the fingerprint reader or similar.
I am aware that Lenovo provides both Fingerprint Reader software and Client Security Solution software, but I don't know whether or not either one (or both) of these applications will provide the functionality I am seeking. I have spent a fair bit of time looking around the Lenovo website, but cannot find a document that describes (in a general, overview manner) the functionality that CSS provides.
I don't need to log into VPNs, or company networks, or anything really fancy like that - I just need something that will enable me to log into about 20 different websites, using a different password for each website. Right now, I'm generally using the same password for every website (that way, I can remember what it is), and as I think you will agree, that is probably not a very good practice so far as security is concerned.
If anyone could point me towards a document that explains how I can get CSS to do what I want it to do, I would be very grateful. If CSS does not have the functionality I am seeking, I would very much appreciate a recommendation of software - possibly non-Lenovo - that does provide the functionality I am seeking.
Thanks very much for your assistance.
Michael

Hi PanEuropean2,
Welcome to Lenovo Forum!
In regard to your question, Client Security Solution (CSS) should be the right fit for you.
I have a T410 with Win 7, and have several passwords to remember which is really killing me. However, by using CSS, Fingerprint software and Password Manager, I need to enter all the passwords only once when access a website or a tool, and let it saved in CSS.
The next time i turn on the machine and open up a website which needs user ID and password, I just need to swipe the fingerprint that I've enrolled, then viola!
Just take note that after the first swipe of fingerprint, tools or website that are to be accessed later will automatically show the password in the box directly without having to swipe fingerprint again. You just need to click to log in. I"m not sure if this is the experience you're looking for, however, no harm to give it a try.
Here's the user guide for CSS. It has
Client Security Solution components
Client Security Solution installation considerations
Client Security Solution features
Hope this helps
Cheers,

Newbie needs help to create a desired Effect

Hi All,
I am a newbie to After Effects. I have managed to get to grips with the the functions of the software and now comfortable with the layout and application but now diving into the world of how to create the Effects I want.
I have the following logo and what I would like to is have have some footage I have recorded to play within the logo itself only. I have spent hours on google searching for tutorials and tips however I am unure of the relevant terminology so failing misrably locating some help.
If any one can give me any hints on how to achieve this or simply the correct terminology which would help with some advance searching I would be eternly greatful
Thanks in advance
N

A big thank you to you both
I will get stuck into this as soon as I have finished the list of doemstic jobs the other half has left today lol!
Thank you again, hugely appreciatted
The scattered approach to searching is certainly frustrating although I must admit I have come across some random stuff which was interesting so was not all in vein. However I am starting a course next month in AE so all is good

Newbie needs help creating folder with different date buckets

A simplification my scenario, I have a table, Invoice, which contains invoice amounts and invoice dates. I want to break up the invoices amounts into date buckets, such that my target report should look something like this:
Invoices<30 Invoices<60 Invoices<90 Invoices>90
$100 $250 $500 $1000
I have created a folder from the Invoice table, and would like to know if it is possible to create new items within this folder to allow me to sum invoice amounts over the 0-30, 30-60, 60-90, 90+ invoice date ranges. In other words, can I create new items that each have their own condition?
I have seen other solutions that use a custom folder backed by a SQL query using case statements to break a table down into its date range buckets. Is this considered the "right" approach to the problem?
A simpler solution I've thought of is creating a folder for each date range (Invoices30, Invoices60, etc), and setting the condition of the folder to do the date filtering. The item "Invoice Amount" in each folder ends up being the bucket I want, and I would put them together in a complex folder, and build the report off the complex folder. Although inelegant and a bit redundant, would this solution work?
Thanks everybody!

Hi Newbie
You can do this right inside Discoverer using a couple of calculations.
Calc 1:
=====
Calculate the invoice date variance, let's say you will use TRUNC(SYSDATE) - TRUNC(INVOICE DATE). This gives you a number and let's call this new calculation VARIANCE.
Calc 2:
=====
This second calculation created the buckets themself. Let's do it using a CASE statement and we'll call the calculation TIME BUCKET.
CASE
WHEN VARIANCE <= 30 THEN "0 to 30"
WHEN VARIANCE <= 60 THEN "30 to 60"
WHEN VARIANCE <= 90 THEN "60 to 90"
ELSE "More than 90"
END
You now display only TIME BUCKET in your workbook. The other calculation, VARIANCE, will be used but not displayed on screen in the final answer.
If you don't like CASE, here's the same answer using DECODE:
DECODE(VARIANCE,
LEAST(VARIANCE,30), "0 to 30",
LEAST(VARIANCE,60), "30 to 60",
LEAST(VARIANCE,90), "60 to 90","More than 90")
By the way, when you do this you will find that Discoverer runs your report very fast. This is because it can handle these types of queries exceptionally well.
I hope this helps
Regards
Michael

Newbie needs help with passing variables or creating flash object based on parameters

Hello Community,
I'm an amateur developer of Ms Access databases. In one of my applications I want to visualize the options available when reaching a certain score.
What I'd like to get from this trial period, is a flash animation of a dartboard. Depending on an array of variables that provides the fill color (or reference thereof) the layers of the flash object will be dynamicly created, altered, or switched. The dartboard itself remains "static". I'm hoping to use 9 colors.
I can manipulate the array any way needed. I can provide XML coding to pass the array variables. I'm just too new and untrained to incorporate this in a Edge animation or Dreamweaver.
There is no need for interaction, once the object is created (ie no user feedback).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
thanks in advance,
Jay from Stockholm

Hi,
I see you're using System.Data.OracleClient (which has been deprecated by MS) rather than Oracle.DataAccess.Client, but this works for me with Oracle's ODP, maybe it will help.
