Embed bitmap images in batch

Hi,
Is there a way to embed all the ressource image files from a directory at compile time? Embedding a bitmap looks like:
[Bindable]
[Embed(source="./v3/R4.png")]
private var artClassR4:Class;
public var artR4:BitmapAsset;
But it becomes really painful when you have a lot of files, it there a way to automate the process for a collection of files in a directory?
Best regards,
Pierre

No, sorry. You need a var for each image. If it's too tedious too maintain by hand, I suppose you could write a Perl script or something that enumerates the directory and creates the ActionScript code. It could go in a separate file that you then include into your AS or MXML file.

How do I embed bitmaps into a built (.exe) LabVIEW application?

I am trying to embedd bitmap images (icons) into the exe file of a built LabVIEW application. I tried it, and got them in a "data" folder. I want everything in the .exe file, you know, just like C/C++ or just about any other programming language.
If anyone has any tips, I would be grateful.
I know about embedding the images in the controls, but that is not my goal. I need images as files to be embedded, somehow, into the .exe. The reason is I am using the picture control to read the images, but they are static once they are read. If it is possible for the picture controls to somehow retrieve the images from some other source, that would work also.
Otherwise, if someone knows how to dynamicall
y embed bitmap or other images into buttons in an array, that would be useful as well.
Thanks

Actually, many C and C++ programs, like LV itself have folders of data
that aren't linked into their code. But, if that is what you are
looking for, one pretty easy way is to load the images into memory and
place them into a 2D array of data, a string etc. Make an array of
these and make the value default. At runtime, you can now skip the file
I/O, or you can write the data to a temporary on launch and read them
back whenever you like.

Query: How does scale9grid work with bitmap images?

I have a custom component I use as website header built in flash catalyst. Below is the code for the component.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Group xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:d="http://ns.adobe.com/fxg/2008/dt">
<s:BitmapImage smooth="true" source="@Embed('/assets/images/TIBB/Header.png')" d:userLabel="Header" width="100%" />
</s:Group>
The problem is that it doesn't scale according to 9 slice scaling. How do I use scale9grid for the bitmap image?

Inserting or embed and image into cfmail output from a database-stored path to an actual image.

I am trying to insert or embed and image into cfmail from a database-stored path to an actual image. The actual JPEG image is stored in a folder called "images_personnel". The path to the image under the column titled photopath is stored in my database table as "/file/images_personnel/28.jpg". Displaying the image on the screen renders without a problem, embedding the same image as part of a cfloop query does not insert/embed the image into an email. All of the other output of the same cfloop displays and emails just fine. However none of the photos of each personelle show up. What an I doing wrong?
My code is below:
<cfquery name="Staffreport" datasource="master">
Select staffreport.*, name.personnelid, name.email, name.last, name.noiid, stafflt, CONCAT(name.fname,' ',name.middle,' (',name.last,')') AS teammember, CONCAT(name.fname,' ',name.middle) AS teammember2, concat(name.photopath,'',name.photo)as hisphoto, stafflt.*, trim(concat(ltfname,' ',ltmiddle)) as LT from Staffreport, name, stafflt
where 0=0
and stalt = '#Session.user_id#'
and ltid = '#session.user_id#'
and staweekbegin = <cfqueryparam value="#form.staweekbegin#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" />
AND staweekend = <cfqueryparam value="#form.staweekend#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" />
AND stapersonnelid = personnelID

AND CITY = 'richmond'
AND STATUS <> 'd'
AND STATUS <> 'T'
AND type = 'personnel'
Group by personnelid
Order by teammember
</cfquery>
<cfmail>...
<cfloop query="staffreport"><br />
<table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="4" align="left">
<tr>
    <td colspan="2" align="center" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" bgcolor="cccccc"><strong><font color="black"><cfif #staffreport.last# eq ".">#Ucase(Staffreport.teammember2)# <cfelse>#Ucase(Staffreport.teammember)#</cfif> - ID: <cfoutput>#Staffreport.noiid#</cfoutput></font></strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" bgcolor="#000000">Name:</td>

</tr>
</table>
</cfloop>
</cfmail>

You'll need to provide a full URL link to the image ("http://mywebserver/file/images_personnel/28.jpg"), not just a relative path. Remember, the email client that is used to view the email content knows nothing of the internals of your web server - it can only follow a complete URL to get images and other resources.

How to embed the Images in the java sourse

How to embed the Images in the java sourse
The size of the file will be too large while I put the binary code of the image into the java sourse!
thanks

You could encrypt them with a private key and then
decrypt them with a public key.
Almost had it... public key encryption works the other
way around... otherwise what's the point of
encrypting... if the decryption key is public?Spinoza's right. Public key encryption works both ways, but it would be useless in this case to encrypt with the private key. The problem is, how do you package your private key with the application in a way that doesn't allow the user to get it? Encrypt it? :-) I agree that there's no point to this exercize. If users want to screw up the application by editing its image files, let 'em.

How do I embed an image in a post here?

How do I embed an image in a post here?

Hi Roger!
Some additional tips.
To post an image in  Discussions, create a Screen Shot of the image you wish to post.
Upload the image to an online storage facility, like one of these linked to below.
Flickr
ImageShack
PhotoBucket
PICVAULT
Twango
tinypic
imageno
Then use HTML formatting, to insert the URL of the location.
Use this format <img src="Insert URL Here">
Post the resulting line of text.
You can alternately insert the URL of the image between ! (Exclamation Marks) to have it appear in a post.
Keep the images small, and unobtrusive, when possible.
If the image is large, you can use this format:
<a href="Insert URL Here"target="_blank"><img src="Insert Same URL Here" width="Insert Desired Size Here"></a>
Desired Size is a number, dependent on the size to be displayed in the post, such as 20, 50, 200, etc. You can experiment with that number.
Below that type "Click to View Full Size".
The image will appear in the post at the size you selected, but when clicked, will open full screen.
You can also just post a Link/URL, to the image location, using this format:
<a href="Insert URL Here">Type Title Here</a>
Or use Skitch.
Quoted from the Skitch website:
"Skitch.com is a webservice that works hand in hand with our application Skitch to give you 1-click uploading of images for fast and fun image sharing."

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.

Bitmap images have grayscale settings

I'm creating pdfs using Acrobat Standard 6.0 from Word documents. The documents contain images in color, grayscale and bitmap mode. For some reason the bitmap images in the final pdfs are not appearing as bitmaps but appear with the settings for the grayscale images. Meanwhile, the actual grayscale images appear with the color settings. The color images are fine. I've experimented with different resolutions for each type of image and each time the results follow the pattern described.
I'd be interested to know where in the chain of events is the problem is occurring, or if anyone can suggest a way of trying to pin it down. I've tried two separate versions of Word, so I'm assuming the problem lies elsewhere.
Thanks for any advice.

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.

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?

Problem with warp tool and bitmap images

While you apply warp tool to a bitmap image, the image becoming corrupted on each touch. Please check screen shot...

OK. I start to understand what you're doing there.
It's simply that Illustrator is not a bitmap editor. It's not optimized for editing this kind of artwork.
What you can do is apply an envelope and then use the warp tool on the envelope.
Also: edit the envelope options. You can get higher image quality with that.

How to convert color of bitmap image?

I am programming with Acrobat 7.
I'd like to change color of all object to CMYK color or gray.
In case of plain object like path or font,
I need to seek CMYK color from the object's RGB color.
and I change the property of the object color space and value with it.
but in case of bitmap image, i don't know how to at all.
it has numerous colors.
I hope your advice.

Thank you both of you.
by the way, Leonard, Could you tell me that APIs more detailly?
I have look into the document for long time. it is still hard to find proper API.
I have to say this again. I am trying to find APIs based on version 7.
I am using custom function ACEconvertColorProfile which is placed in snippetrunner. it consists of these APIS ACMakeColorTransform, ACApplyTransform, and so on.
but I can't find the way to convert bitmaps once and for all.
I hope you give more hint.
Thanks again.

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.

What behavior would I use to make a bitmap image shake? Thanks.

What behavior would I use to make a bitmap image shake? Thanks.

There are several options for making images (or any object) shake:
-Earthquake Filter
-Randomize Behavior (Parameter Behaviors)
-Wriggle Behavior (Parameter Behaviors)
You can apply these to the X&Y together, or 1 instance to each channel.
