Embedding a Slideshow into a Webpage - Help Please!

Do any of you good people know a way of / have experience of creating a slideshow of images and embedding them in a webpage?
I have created a flash slideshow through Photoshop, It will run as a webpage on its own, however I cannot get it to embed in an existing webpage in Dreamweaver. I am using Photosho[p CS3 and Dreamweaver MX2004
If not, do you know of any other way that I can create a slideshow and embed it into my Dreamweaver page.
Any ideas / advice would be gratefully and greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

In a word, jQuery. Flash isn't as widely supported these days.
A boat load of possible jQuery slide shows and image galleries:

Embedding MP3 files into dreamweaver webpage

I've embedded mp3 files into my webpage, but every time someone opens the page, they are prompted to either open or save the file. I want the viewer to be able to play the song using the embedded player, without the prompt.

Embedded players are very old school. And it won't work for many since they need a player and appropriate browser plugins installed on their end. The modern approach is HTML5 <audio> which is widely supported by all browsers, including mobile and tablets. For an example of HTML5 audio, copy and paste this code into a new, blank document.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

Embedding interactive documents into a webpage

Hi there,
Does anyone know of a solution, in the catalogue of Apple Technologies, that would help achieve the following interactive « read-only » result of embedding a PDF or iWork document into a webpage? Example: http://dunod.ebrochure.fr/10-plaies-internet/netbook_dunod.php (no need to refer me back to web-based hosting solutions, I need something as DRM-safed as iBooks Author for iBooks Store, but for an author’s website!).
Thank you

Hi Jasmine and Fiona,
We are still have difficulties. See below the info I have been provided by our Web Services Team:
We’d already looked at the two help topics that they’ve linked to below and I believe we’ve got the correct code snippet:
<iframe height="580" src="https://tra-opa.custhelp.com/tra_opa/web-determinations/startsession/TRAWizardv3" width="100%"></iframe>
We’ve even tried putting it in an (extremely) simple HTML page and we still get the same issue. I’ve attached a copy of the page for your reference. We’ll need to investigate further.
We will need to resolve this in order to move our 'wizard' rulebase into a production website.
Thank you

updated my i Phone 4 s to os 8 last night now can't get into my apps it requests i sign into iCLOUD HELP PLEASE

Before I updated this I turned my phone on, entered my password and if I pressed one of the apps it immediately went into that with no problem. Since updating it immediately I press to go into an app it comes with a big white square on the screen stating "sign into iCloud" Enter the Apple ID password for my email address. Then asks for my password to be entered. If i press cancel it reverts to the app for 1 second then goes back to the above screen. The only other option is to sign into iCloud. I have never used iCloud before. Can you help please.

Servlet not inserting into Access Databse. help please

I have the following code which is inserting three fields into a database. The database name is contacts.mdb, and the table is contacts. I have setup the ODBC connection on the server, of which I have both IIS and Tomcat running. The form.html that I am accessing is on the tomcat server root and that code is below as well. After hitting the submit button on the form I get forwarded to the servlet, and the page is blank. However, when I open the database, no updates have occured. Please help. I hope I have provided enough detail. Thanks so much.

I can't insert my data into the table - help please

Hello everyone,
I have a trouble about JSP. I'm using Java2 SDK,JSP 1.2,Mysql and TOMCAT.
I want to do this. A user has to enter the nicno,into the html form(EnterNicInter.jsp),to verify if it is already exist or not. If it is exist in the db, an error msg(Record already exist) must be displayed. If not, then the page "InterviewForm.jsp" displayed. This part is working.
But, I can't save these details into the db by clicking submit button int the InterviewForm.jsp.
I wrote a javaBean for this task. Here is it.

Can anybody tell me whats going on, help me to solve this please.
Thanks.

you should try something different, since you are mixing up a lot of code.
1) create a separate method just to connect and disconnect from a database;
2) use the value entered and see if you can find a record in the table. If the record is there, then you should re-direct your jsp to a jspError, else goes to another form.
the code below give you some idea
      if( sAction.equals("Add1") ) {
        sITEM = request.getParameter("parameter1");
        try {
          itemmaster.connect();
          itemmaster.viewitemmaster( sITEM );
          rs = itemmaster.getRs();
          if( rs.next() ) {
            sURL = "additemmaster1.jsp";
          else {
            request.setAttribute( "asITEM", sITEM );
            sURL = "additemmaster2.jsp";
        finally {
          rs.close();
          itemmaster.disconnect();
      }

Custom Slideshow (photo gallery/shop) help please!

Hi! I am miffing my way around my 1st Muse site and desperate for help with customising a slideshow to perform as a photography gallery and shop.
I would like to make it possible for my customers to preview matte (black/white) and frame (black/white/wood) options and be able to purchase all on the same page. It's important for my workflow that I can integrate this programming into the site, rather than having to upload multiples of the same image with the different variables. Possible problems may be that my images would be different ratios (square / panoramic etc). Hope this makes sense?
Any help would be much appreciates, although I feel I'm at a point way beyond my skill level and may have to outsource.
Example of what I'm looking for here...

Embedding a slideshow into my existing website

I have created a thumbnail slideshow in Muse that I would like to embed in my existing business website. What is the best way to do this, or is it even possible? I have tried to publish to catalyst from Muse and then right click, view source on the slideshow, and then copy and paste the code directly into the code on my site, but when I do this, I only see "red x" images. Basically, I want a thumbnail slideshow on my home page with pictures that can then be linked to other parts of the site. If it is possible to do this, step by step instructions would be appreciated, as I am not an experienced web designer. My business site is a template I have added content to through the host of the site, if that makes any sense.
Thanks in advance,
Randy

The reason you are getting red x's is because the code cannot find the images associated with them. To view the code, you should export the HTML instead of viewing the source in the browser.
To successfully copy the widget you're going to need to copy all of the enccessary assets, not just the HTML.
This includes all of the: HTML, CSS, Javascript and images
Hope this helps,
Julia

EJB 2 into weblogic 8, help please.. how to invoke

hello
i have one ejb into weblogic, session ejb stateless.
the ejb-jar file has this:
<session>
<description><![CDATA[MiCallejeroSession Session]]></description>
<display-name>MiCallejeroSessionEJB</display-name>
<ejb-name>MiCallejeroSessionEJB</ejb-name>
<home>MiCallejeroEJB.MiCallejeroSessionEJB.MiCallejeroSessionHome</home>
<remote>MiCallejeroEJB.MiCallejeroSessionEJB.MiCallejeroSession</remote>
<ejb-class>MiCallejeroEJB.MiCallejeroSessionEJB.MiCallejeroSessionBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
</session>
and into the weblogic-ejb.jar i have this:
<weblogic-enterprise-bean>
<ejb-name>MiCallejeroSessionEJB</ejb-name>
<stateless-session-descriptor>
<pool>
<max-beans-in-free-pool>50</max-beans-in-free-pool>
<initial-beans-in-free-pool>0</initial-beans-in-free-pool>
</pool>
<stateless-clustering></stateless-clustering>
</stateless-session-descriptor>
<transaction-descriptor>
</transaction-descriptor>
<jndi-name>Mi.MiCallejeroSessionEJB</jndi-name>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>
when i want to referer to the ejb i think that i must to invoque the jndi name (Mi.MiCallejeroSessionEJB) but if i make this produces one error.
for running imust to invoke using the:
MiCallejeroEJB.MiCallejeroSessionEJB.MiCallejeroSessionHome. the home interface.
wich is my error? can you help me?
thanks

You can invoke the SessionEJb without the JNDI name as
MiCallejeroSessionHome sessionhome=null;
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
sessionhome=(MiCallejeroSessionHome)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/MiCallejeroSessionEJB");
MiCallejeroSession session=null;
session=sessionhome.create();
I think we can invoke the EJBs without their JNDI names also.

Thumbdrive into iMac? help please..

hey everyone,
just got my first iMac last week, mainly to be used for recording music via Pro Tools. My problem is that nothing pops up on the iMac desktop when my thumbdrive is inserted into the usb drive. Maybe my thumbdrive isn't compatible with Macs? It says it should be -> it's an Attache 2G.
Thank you for any help!

It has always worked fine on my PC. Perhaps when I originally "installed" or formatted it on my PC, I set it for PC only?
If this is so, can I remedy this, or is the best thing to purchase another one stricly for my iMac?
thank you..

I can't create mi Apple ID and can't connect into iTunes Store HELP PLEASE NEW USER

Hi, im new with this. I just got a new MacBook Pro 13" with IOs X Lion. Im having a big trouble with my apple ID. I cant create an ID. first was the credit card security code. Somebody told me to follow the instructions in this link to solve the problem ( iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records ) but i cant even connect to Itunes Store. PLEASE I NEED SOME HELP URGENT!!
P.D: I created an ID on apple page but it seems that doesnt work for nothing. I tried using that ID on both (Itunes an App Store) but doesnt work.

First and foremost, I agree with gdgmacguy about using the support link. That is most likely your best bet. But, I have read posts from other users that had issues with their Apple ID that you must enter your address exactly like it appears on you credit card statement. Don't abbreviate "street" or "road" - things like that - unless that matches your statement exactly. Have you moved and maybe not changed your address on your credit card statement yet...??
I am not saying that is the reason you can't create the ID, but it has been an issue for some. You could try what I suggest, but the support link is the best way to go if you can't get it accomplished on your own.
here is the support link.

Turning still images into a video-help please!

Hello, I have Adobe Premiere Elements 10 editing system, and I am currently working a summer project. One of the things I would like to do is create a video from still images, but I am having a problem, because the images I chose and increased their time line look too choppy, but I want a more flow-ey look. What should the speed or duration be for each picture? Are there other effects that can assist the making of my still picture video? Also, I am up for any other suggestions others have on making a smooth, still image video. Thanks!

Neweditor16
I was not sure of my schedule for later this evening so I am going to post a sample scenario, assuming that you have Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 64 bit.
1. Place your 10 each at 3680 x 2760 4:3 pixels photos in sequence order in a desktop folder. Do not bother to resize them beforehand ONLY if your Windows 7 is 64 bit and not 32 bit and your installed RAM exceeds 4 GB.
2. Open Premiere Elements 10 and set the project preset for
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30 @ 29.97
3. Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General and remove the check mark next to the option "Default Scale to Frame Size".
4. Next, use Get Media/Files and Folder to bring your desktop folder into the Organize/Media area. From there drag the whole unopened folder to the start of Timeline Video Track 1. When you do, your 10 photos will be on the Timeline in the order that you placed them in the folder.
5. Click on Photo 1 to select it. Then go to Properties Palette/Motion Panel expanded and the Scale property. Set the Scale at 52.6%.
6. Go back to the Timeline and click on Photo 1 to select it. Go to Edit Menu, select Copy. Then select the other 9 photos (all at one time), right
click anywhere in the selection, and select and click on Paste Attributes.
7. To give a Timelapse effect to your 10 photos, you are going to decrease the duration of each photo. You do not want to be dealing in seconds, rather frames (1 to 5 frames which is 0.033 to 0.165 seconds in a 30 frames per second set up).
a. first we look at the effect with the photo duration of 5 frames...select all 10 photos all at one time....right click anywhere in the selection and select Timeline Stretch. In the Time Stretch dialog change duration from 00;00;05;00 (5 seconds) to 00;00;00;05 (5 frames equivalent to 0.165 seconds)...note the Timelapse effect that is achieved after you render the Timeline content by pressing the Enter key to get the best possible preview of the Timeline content played back in the Edit area monitor.
b. If you are not satisfied with "a", the repeat, but this time change the duration of all to 00;00;00;03 (3 frames equivalent to 0.150 seconds)...note the Timelapse
effect that is achieved after you render the Timeline by pressing the Enter key to get the best possible preview.
c. If you are not satisfied with "b", then repeat, but this time change to the lower possible set 00;00;00;01 (1 frame equivalent to 0.033 seconds)..note the Timelapse effect achieved after you render the Timeline by pressing the Enter key ot get the best possible preview.
See what that looks like. At this time, I would not bother with transitions. More than one transition placement at a time can be done by selecting all the photos and using Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition. But, with such short duration photos, I would need to think about changing the transition default duration.
And, I see no point in pans and zooms with the short duration that are used.
These are some basic ideas about Timelapse in Premiere Elements.

Notes: To select more than one clip at a time, you can hold down the Shift key and click each photo. Or, you can use the mouse cursor tip to draw a rectangle around the photos to select them.

Opening RAW file into Camera Raw (help please)

Hi,
Brand new to Photoshop (free trial started 2 days ago) and am having significant difficulties with overall program. One major issue is the ability to open my photos into the Camera Raw program. One tutorial mentions to right click and convert it to Smart Object in order to launch the program but this does not seem to work for me. It merely adds a small image into the corner and becomes a "Smart Object Thumbnail". I don't use Bridge (heck, I don't even know what Bridge is!) and am merely opening up a file into Photoshop directly.
My images are in a raw format, does that make a difference? Do photos have to be in jpegs to use that program?
Thanks.

Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) requires a lot of reading to master.
Raw files should automatically open in ACR when you double-click on them. ACR can be hosted either by Photoshop or by Adobe Bridge, and the respective application will launch when you double click on the raw file and present you with your file open in ACR.
The purpose of ACR is to convert the raw file into something you can see and use. Raw files are very, very dark gray-scale images with nothing a human eye can discern as color.
Forget about "Smart Objects" for now, that is something you will only be able to understand or use until you are proficient with Photoshop, many months or a couple of years from now if you are truly dedicated and take a Photoshop course at a community college near you.
You cannot open a raw file in Photoshop directly. It has to be converted in ACR first.
