Display SWFs instead of images?

Hi all,
I built some dynamic pages using ADDT, and on some of the pages, the customer wants .swf files to display instead of an image. I added a field in my mysql database that holds the path to the flash files (for example...."flash/file-1.swf"), and then I tried to put a "placeholder" and bind the field from the recordset I created. However, this didnt work.
Is there a way to pull and place an swf onto a dynamic page like this? What am I doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated
John

Hi Shane,
I didnt think it would be hard to do either, and maybe its just because I am juggling 5 other projects that I dont have the focus right now and its making this more difficult.
Ok, I can post code but Ill tell you what I did. I created several flash files for each page (i.e. 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf, etc) and then in my MySQL database, I added a field to hold the path to those files for each page.
In my page I created a filtered recordset. I place in the swf file where i wanted it and then went to the file field (this is in Dreamweaver) then opened the dialog box. Then I hit "Data Sources" and selected the correct field from my recordset that holds the path in the db.
When I got to test the page, nothing comes up where the swf should be. When I look at the code, it is correctly bringing up the source from the database, its just not showing the file.
Any ideas?

  • Conditional Formatting - to display text instead of Image

    Hi,
    We have a requirement in a BI Finance Report wherein for an amount if it is NULL or 0 it needs to show '-' symbol.
    Initially we placed a image in the Conditional Format Properties similar to that symbol, but it doesnt satisfy the requirement.
    There are 35 metrics in 3 BI Reports each where we need to do this change. If we write a CASE statement, that will run for 30mins which will be a bad performance issue. So can we display a text instead of an Image using Conditional Formatting or any other way.
    P.S. In one of the report, we have Union joins, so we cannot write a CASE statment for each metric in every report.
    Please give your inputs.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter

    most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter the title in iPhoto. why the inconsistency? running OS 10.9.5 and using iPhoto 9.5.1

    Try this:  select one of the photos that are showing the wrong title and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to File Name menu option.
    See if that will put the name that you want under the thumbnail.

  • Firefox not displaying swfs with their proper dimensions

    Some instances of Firefox are not displaying swf files with their proper dimensions. When the same .html and .swf combo is loaded on another domain, different dimensions are displayed. I'm not using swfobject or any other DOM manipulator to get the swf on the page. I'm using the standard wrapper that Flex generates with object/embed tags.
    The dimensions are 950x700. I wonder if the large size is part of the problem. I'm not going for any full screen effect.
    I've tested with and without css declarations. I've tried using swfobject. I've created a brand new project empty project and when I publish that, the dimensions are still off.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.webwebwebsite.com/badfit/BadFit.html

    That image doesn't seem to be working in Firefox 3 and 8 (works in Firefox 9 and later).
    It works if I save it as 24 bit instead of 32 bit.

  • How to display  servlet dynamically generated image ?

    Hi,
    How to display servlet dynamically generated image ?
    I have a servlet generating a buffered image in the doGet. I want to display the image in a jsp page with other information. I'm not able to get it properly displayed.
    **Try n# 1 **************************************************************
    This displays my image but nothing elle :
    ServletOutputStream sos = pResponse.getOutputStream();
    JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(sos);
    encoder.encode(img);
    **Try n# 2 ****************************************************************
    I tried also :
    In the servlet :
         request.setAttribute("renderedImage", img);
    and in the jsp page :
         BufferedImage image = (BufferedImage) request.getAttribute("renderedImage");
         <img src="<%=ImageIO.write(image,"jpeg",response.getOutputStream())%>" width="300" height="280"/>
    This last try draws big crap in the jsp page, thank you in advance.
    Nelson

    Call another servlet from the IMG tag. Have the servlet stream out the image using ImageIO (instead of writing HTML).

  • Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

    Hello,
    We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
    Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
    But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
    can you please help me out to get this option.
    Thanks in advance.
    REgards,
    Jayashri

    Hi,
    From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
    Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
    About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.

  • EPUB - GRAY BOXES Instead of Images

    When exporting my epub book, I get gray boxes instead of images. Has anyone else run into this or know what to do to resolve this issue?
    All the images are linked properly and InDesign is saying I don't have any errors. The only way I can get images to show up is ONLY if I select "Use Existing Image for Graphic Objects". But if I select this, I lose the cropping and orientation adjustments I've made in my inDesign file. I've even tried just copy and pasting an image into the document itself.
    Needless to say I've spent way too long trying to figure this out and haven't made any progress...

    If other people can export it fine but you can't, then I would suggest some troubleshooting of your InDesign install.
    Have you tried rebuilding your preferences and then re-exporting?
    Have you made sure you're not using any third-party plugins that automatically load with InDesign?
    Assuming you've done those two tests and are still having a problem, then try it on a test account on your computer. Package the InDesign file and put it on a thumbdrive (or I guess you could just download the files from the link above) and then log out of your account on your computer, and log in again to a fresh new account with admin privileges. (If you haven't created one yet, you should do that first before logging out ... lol)
    When you log in to the new account, all the apps are available to you but none of your other account's files or user settings. So open InDesign, download/copy over the packaged file, and open the layout and export. See if that makes any difference.
    I have a short course on lynda.com on troubleshooting InDesign (just 10 short videos) that goes over these and other steps.

    Is this issue with Tiger or Leopard? Your profile indicates you have a machine with Tiger, yet your signature of your post says you have Leopard.
    Also, there is no such thing as a Powerbook Pro. Read the text under the screen to tell us exactly which model you have. MacBook Pro is the name given to Macs that are for the pro lineup of notebooks once Apple shifted to the Intel CPU.

  • Display of .CRW (Raw) images in Bridge CS6

    I have recently upgraded from PS CS3 direct to PS CS6. I have an issue with the display of raw images taken by my Canon PowerShot S70 camera (.CRW format). Many of the portrait-style images are displayed as landscape. This appears to be random as not all portrait images are affected. I did not have this problem with CS3. I have discussed the matter with the Adobe helpdesk which suggested various remedies (purging cache, resetting preferences) to no avail. They came to the conclusion that PS CS6 does not fully support the file structure generated by this camera in that it cannot detect from the file data that it should be displayed as a portrait image rather than as a landscape image. I have two issues with this. Firstly, if true, it means that PS CS6 has taken a slightly backward step as far as I'm concerned and secondly, it does not answer the random nature of the incorrect display.
    Obviously I want these images to be displayed correctly. I can rotate them in Bridge/PS manually, but I have a lot of them scattered over many folders and it is a task I would rather be automated.
    This issue also occurs in Windows 7 Home Premium, but as I was using Win 7 HP with CS3 without this display issue, it appears to be an Adobe problem as it only occurred after the upgrade to CS6.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so how have you solved it? Is there a fix for it?
    Many thanks

    I have just checked my .CRW files and realise that the display problem is not random, all .CRW images shot in portrait mode are displayed as landscape. This appears to be an Adobe issue and means that the helpdesk was right - PS CS6 does not fully support this type of Raw file.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).
    On the basis of the specifications you have given for your set up, mirroring should work.

  • FIX for Dell U3011 displaying YPbPr instead of RGB via display port

    I kind of hacked my way around and got my Dell U3011 to properly display RGB instead of YPbPr (or YCbCr) over a mini display port to display port cable for my MacBook Pro Retina 15"! WOOHOO! no need for that stupid $150 dual link dvi to mini displayport adapter anymore, which was incredibly flakey and sometimes the monitor turned on, and sometimes it didn't etc... lots of problems.
    Download the file from:
    http://www.8mmdesign.com/u3011-rgb-ypbpr-fix/DisplayVendorID-10ac.zip
    unzip into:
    /System/Library/Displays/Overrides
    It will create a new directory called:
    /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-10ac
    Then reboot the system, and it should work. Go to system preferences, displays, color, and set the display profile to Color LCD.
    This will *ONLY* work for the Dell u3011 and it is completely UNTESTED. Use at your OWN RISK. But you should have proper RGB colors after doing this.
    Good luck!

    This post helped me: http://ireckon.net/2013/03/force-rgb-mode-in-mac-os-x-to-fix-the-picture-quality -of-an-external-monitor
    I have an Onkyo AV Receiver TX-NR414, I'm using the HDMI passthru (connecting Mac to AVR, then AVR to TV) and my Macs where giving bad colors.
    Connecting the Mac directly to the TV was ok.
    So the problem was the need to force the Mac to output RGB, the above linked blog post has a link to a Ruby script that will create a profile with RGB output. Follow the instructions and it will get it right.

    My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix?  It used to display the names if there was a contact listed, now it just shows numbers regardless of whether or not the number corresponds to a contact name in the contact list.  Can anyone help?  I googled this problem and lots of folks have experienced it, however there is not a consensus for a resolution.

    Alexandribill, I have been having the exact same issue.  I got a new phone and restored my contacts.  If the # doesn't have the area code first then the name isn't shown.  I just added my husbands area code to my phone and called my phone from his and now his name shows up...Ugh, I have to go through and manually add the area code to all my contacts....
    I'd say Verizon needs to rewrite their program to include the area code in the restoring from backup process!
