Creating placeholder boxes for images?

I'm trying to work on a newsletter idea for someone, but I'm running into a small, but big issue with Pages. In InDesign, I can create an image box, size it, then place the image later. Have I missed something, or does Pages lack this capability? I'm currently working with '09, so it might have been added in a later version, but since this is the only thing I'm using it for, I don't want to buy the next version unless I absolutely have to.

Yes, you can create image placeholders. If you look at the included templates, almost every image is a placeholder. Insert an image, any image, in your document & then select it & resize it if you want. Now go to Format > Advanced > Define as Media Placeholder. You can then drag & drop any image which will be resized to fit.

Best way to create placeholder frames for XML import

This is my first attempt at importing XML into ID (CS2), my client has given me an Access database that includes about 150 records that include several fields of data, including an image file and a few brief paragraphs of descriptive text.
The goal is to have each record occupy a page in the layout.
My goal is to set up one initial page with a placeholder frame or frames and have ID automatically duplicate for all the records. And that's my question...do I create multiple frames, one for each field in the database, or do I create one frame and just tag various elements within the single frame?
If I create multiple frames, I'm thinking I would have to copy/paste the group onto each new page (or am I wrong?)
If I create one single master frame, then InDesign would just consider all the content one story and automatically create as many threaded frames as are needed--right?
The other consideration is that the field containing the descriptive text will vary in length with each record and I want to make sure that there aren't inconsistent spacing issues happening, as would probably be the case if I created a unique frame for the descriptive text.
I hope I'm being clear...would somebody who's done this type of thing before please advise me on the best way to set up my placeholders?
Thanks so much.

Hi,
You can use Web Dynpro or Visual Composer for designing UI for your CA.
1) WebDynPro Callable Object that implements GP Interface.
You can use Web Dynpro Component CO to use a single Web Dynpro component in your GP Activity.
4) Create a WebDynPro Application Callable Object :This is for entire Web Dynpro Application(multiple components).
2) Consume the Application services(exposed as web services) in WebDynPro app :
3) Creating a WebDynPro Model for the CAF Services.
For example, in updating operations first we have to get the existing data from Database.For getting this data you can use application services in your Web Dynpro component.Later expose this WD component as CO insert in a GP activity.
For creating operations, you can use Web Service CO(Application Service) directly in GP Activity.
These links are useful for you.

Create cache variable for image

hi everyone
i am using swfloader to load an image, and storing its conents in an array so if it is loaded again in future it can be loaded directly from that variable instead of downloading it again.
First time when i load the image , it is loaded properly, and when i load the same image secondtime, it loads it properly from this variable but old image is removed from the page. I am not able to understand what is causing this, here is the code which I used for this.
public function loadimage(_data:Object){
// check if it does not exists in cachedata variable then download else load from cache
                if(cachedata[_data.url] == null){
                    var _swfloader:SWFLoader=new SWFLoader;
                    _swfloader.load(_data.url);
                    _swfloader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,EventDelegate.create(onImagesComplete,imgconta iner));
                } else{
                    imgcontainer.addChild(cachedata[_data.url]);
            public function onImagesComplete(event:Event,imgcontainer):void
                var __tpLd:SWFLoader = event.target as SWFLoader;
                var imgContents=__tpLd.content;
// store in cachedata variable
                cachedata[filename]=imgContents;
                var extension:String=filename.substring(filename.length-3,filename.length);
                imgcontainer.addChild(imgContents);
please help me on this...
thanks

That is because you are caching _tpLd.content which will be a Bitmap object. So, as soon as you do an addChild again on it, it will be removed from the previous container as it can only have one parent.
The solution is to cache BitmapData instead:
          var bitmapData:BitmapData = (content as Bitmap).bitmapData;
                     _imageDataCache.putImageData(_imageId, bitmapData);
So, you can re-use it by constructing a new Bitmap object from the same BitmapData. The difference in memory usage will be negligible as you are using the same BitmapData again.
Here is an implementation of CachedImage component along with ImageDataCache so that we do not have to write plumbing code everywhere. You can use it or modify your code on the same lines. It is available at:
                              http://xebee.xebia.in/2010/11/25/flex-in-memory-image-cache/

Enable "Prevent this website from creating dialog boxes" for a page

Firefox has an option to prevent a website from creating a any more dialog boxes. I have a website which creates too many of them, so I want those to be disabled whenever I visit that website.
So, is it possible to disable dialog boxes permanently for a page, or even something that I can do everytime before visiting that page..

Creating null links for image swap

I have this problem with Internet Explorer 6 for PC which
moves the webpage to the top of the browser whenever the swap image
ref is clicked. It will do this if the link is set to #, if it is
set to javascript:; then IE wont display the image which I think
has something to do with preloading. SO, does anyone know another
null link style I could use. I'm working in Dreamweaver CS3 for
Mac.

Show us your code, and I'll show you how to fix it.

When I open my video inspector, the box for image stabilization and shutter roll does not appear. How do I get it to appear?

When I open my video inspector and I click the Video button, no options for stabilization and rolling shutter appear. Is there any way that I can get them to appear, so that I might use these tools?

Tom,
Many thanks for replying so soon. Actually, I think I've solved my little conundrum. I was selecting all of my clips in the timeline with the hope of running both functions. I found that when I only selected one clip at a time, that the two options would appear and that I could select them.
Again, Tom, thank you.
Cheers,
Rob

Trying to create box for text but....

Hi all.
So I am new to the software. What I am trying to do is create a box for text. I want it to be "above" the background so that the background color does not color in the back of the text box.
An example can be found http://www.tree.com/
At the "about tree.com" that is (a more coloful, rounded version) of what I am looking for. It is a very common thing to see in sites, I just can't figure it out.
Thanks,
Patrick

Patrick
Your question is so basic it really requires a fairly lengthy answer, the best advice is for you to find a beginner totorial on html/css. The software is really just a tool, but you really need to understand the underlying code..
Text, as well as all content sits in elements, which reside in the body of the html code. Each element has its own properties, such as a background color or image. (not to mention the content has its own stylings) These are set in the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). So to give you an anwer to your question is not that simple.
So best adviced is to google beginner HTML/CSS and see what pops up.

Box for view only/non-updateable fields

How can I create a box for a column in JHeadstart that is marked as non-updateable (Update Allowed = false)? I have tried some code in the Additional Properties but have not been able to find the mix. Using disable will put a box, but it dims both the lable and the value and is unacceptablely light.
Edited by: user589963 on Apr 22, 2013 12:49 PM

I tried a different approach by setting the attribute in JHeadstart to Updateable = False and then put this code in the Additional Properties space in Expert Mode:
contentStyle="border:1px solid;padding:0 5px 0;"
That created the box and it was not dimmed like it was when the field was disabled in JHeadstart before. But for all attributes that do not have a value present the box is elevated up into the field above it. The box is not elevated if there is a value in it. Appears to be a bug with JHeadstart. Was just curious if there is other code that would work in the Additional Properties space that would effect how the CSS displays the box.

Dreamweaver MX: Image is showing as a grey placeholder box, and I can't place my hotspots...

Hello:
I know, old school with Dreamwevaer MX, but I need some help here. I've made half a dozen pages in exactly the same way as this one: insert a jpeg image, hotspot the text/areas I want to be links, and call it a day. Well in this page, the image always shows up as a gray placeholder box, thereby preventing me from seeing where the hotspots need to be and completing the page. I'm inserting the code here in case there's some hiccup in the code that I don't see. I've compared it line-by-line with another page that works properly, and I don't see any structural differences. I even re-saved the image in web format under a new name and constructed a new HTML page to see if the old one had just soured or something. No go.
In fact, the only difference between this hotspotted image and the others is that this one is much longer. But I had a previous version of this page that was working fine before, and the image was just as long, so I don't understand why replacing the image has caused such a meltdown.
Thank for any help in advance!
Kurt

Yeah, I know, it's not pretty programming. However, usually it's effective, quick and allows me complete control over everything from font to perfect element placement. I don't need to site to be dynamic in the least, since I'll only be updating it minimally once a year.
Are there any size limits to the images DW MX can handle that anyone knows about?

If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it. I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.

Add another page below the current one to use as a storage area. You can't use the grey area around the page for storing items you want to use later.

Hello,
It is not possible to create it using the out of the Box features of Adobe Muse.
You might have to use some JQuery code to create it.

However, the view large images is an issue for a form that is being distributed. Either a note needs to be added to the PDF to tell how to enable the view or the images need to be changed so that the enabling is not needed.
