Flash and Moving Site images

I am firstly wondering if flash will ever be widely supported again.
I want to make my shop http://www.bohaglass.co.uk/shop/ more interactive as some of the pieces are very tall and some are quite short. At the moment you can only see a square view of the pieces.
These changes need to last a couple of years to make them viable, but aside from an HTML5 gallery I can't figure out hhow to create a moving carousel effect that people can flick through and choose a glass item.
In an ideal world, flash would be supported by mobile devices and any images contained within the flash could be indexed in Google images. People like movement on sites and a gallery slider is just not cool enough.
Has anyone got any suggestions of how I can create a moving carousel effect in my shop and also what is the long-term deal with flash.
All advice / suggestion gratefully received.

I am firstly wondering if flash will ever be widely supported again.
Don't hold your breath. Apart from some glaring security issues which were never fully addressed, Flash players suck the life out of mobile batteries in seconds rather than hours. In 2011, Adobe stopped developing Flash player for mobile.   IMO, it's got no future on the web.
HTML5 and jQuery are the way forward. There's not much you can't do with jQuery and it is widely supported by all devices.
to show what you can do, copy & paste this code into a new blank document. SaveAs TEST.html and preview in your browsers. This is HTML5, jQuery Cycle2 with the Carousel feature and jQuery Fancybox viewer. For best results, thumbnails should be same size and ratio, but the full-sized images can be whatever size/ratio is required.

Feature Request: Scan attached drives to automatically find and reconnect "missing" images

This is the kind of thing that computers are good for. I'm surprised that we've made it all the way to version 5 without this feature being added. It would be relatively easy.
Scan the catalog to make an internal list of all images that are "missing" (the raw file is not found where the catalog says it should be).
Scan the attached hard drives and make an internal list of all images on the system.
Compare the file names, sizes and dates of all of the found images and match them up.
You could provide a UI to confirm the reconnected images, or simply do it automatically. If desired, you could use EXIF data in the images to help confirm that the proper images are being connected. In fact, this step could be used as an "advanced" option to find images where the filename has changed.
Thanks for your consideration!

(an original Raw Shooter and RawShooter/Pro user - which Adobe purchased and turned into Lightroom 1.0 - it's been a wonderful ride so far!)

Eliminating step 2 eliminates the security of an immediate backup. I don't want to ever tell a customer that I lost their images. The backup is done just as soon as possible.
Doing the processing on the SSD while having backed up to storage lets me get through thousands of images on a weekly basis (all things related to weddings as well as family portraits, seniors and the like).
The syncing process is automated (in fact, most of my processes are). It keeps *me* fast and efficient.
So why argue against a tool that can benefit not only me but others that have lost their images (for reasons having nothing to do with me or my workflow)? I am involved in many forums and have frequently helped people to find their lost images. I love that Lightroom easily reconnects the images. The only hard part is finding what happened to them (often they did a bonehead drag and drop of a folder and moved the images somewhere they didn't expect, sometimes they changed drive letters, sometimes they purposely move files and just don't realize the repercussions).
ALL of these people would benefit from adding this feature.
Why try to argue against it? I don't need a solution to my workflow. I love my workflow. I just think this feature would be beneficial to me and lots of other people.
Thanks for understanding.

Image files in flash and fullsceen

hi @all ..
i'm sperimenting with a function to turn my flash site to fullscreen and i know that the best way to design such a site is to draw everything in flash using vector graphics ..
BUT
i have a site (wedding photographer) with lot of pictures and my logo and they are all jpg - png files ..
obviously when i toggle to fullscreen every image that is not a vector graphic is "zoomed" and you can see the actual pixels in the image and on the cornes ..
i wondered if there is a possibility to insert in the flash file the big images (like photos in full resolution of the monitor) that will be resized to small images when the site is not on fullscreen and that are displayed in their full size when in fullscreen ..
now if i put only the big images in my flash file and resize them in the flash they get unsharp because they are bigger than they are displayed (lets say they are 1280x1024 and in the flash they are displayed in 1024x768 --> they are unsharp and you see pixels.. same thing if you have 1024x768 images that are displayed in 1280x1024)
is it possible to have both resolution of the images and that they swap from one to other according to resolution of the flash file?
i think it's not possible but if it is it would be apreciated

Yeah, this forum is entirely appropriate for your question.
The problem is an old one with Flash. The reason you see the
'ghosted'
background in the alpha channel of your PNG is that you have
your colour
depth set to 16 bits. If you crank it up to 32 bits, the
anomaly will
disappear. Unfortunately there's not a great deal you can do
about it,
except to break apart the image and actually delete the parts
you don;t want
to be visible.

I have a Flash Sample to rotate images and text but I not find a way to display special characters

Hello everyone.
I bought a very nice Flash application that rotate images, and text of any color and size. It use an XML input file.
I've posted here, a complete copy, so any of you can download, view and use it freely.
I would appreciate if any of you know how to do, so that the text displayed, including the characters I use in my language (Spanish), such as á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, and other special characters.
In fact, I could not find a way to do it, because I'm not expert Flash, and less in ActionScript.
If any of you would help me on that, I thank you implement the appropriate adjustments and compressed into a. zip file, and let me know where to download it, or if you prefer you can send it to my email: [email protected]
After all compressed in .zip format is a very small file: 430K.
Click here to download the complete sample.
Thanks.

Hello Rinus,
If I understood your last post correctly, then problem 2 is resolved, right?
Regarding problem 3:
I'm not asking you to share exact VIs.
I just want to see a very simple VI that explains the concept of what you're trying to do, what should happen (this can be in words that refer to the front panel elements) and what you've tried.
The terminology you're using isn't clear to me without an extra explanation.
This could even be only a Front Panel with a few buttons on where you just describe what should happen with specific controls/indicators.
Based on the first post it is not clear to me what you mean with:
- A "button element":
Are you talking about a control, an indicator, a cluster that contains multiple control?
- The structure:
Is this an event structure, case structure, for loop, ...?
Is it seems like you want to programmatically control Front Panel objects, which on itself is no problem at all independent of how many objects you want to control.
Please share with me simple example of what goes wrong and explain which things should happen on that specific Front Panel.
This will allow me to help you and also allow me to guide you along the right path.

The images imported to my stage turn up as blank and render every image previous to the rogue imported image as red squares that fill the perimeters of the image which then renders the publishing and scene testing features in flash useless, what can i do

I have been working on animating a scene in flash for a few weeks and recently I have encountered a problem with importing my images on to the stage where the images I import do not turn up, however the key frame that I attempted to import the image onto shows that it is occupied by an image and every frame previous to the key frame that just imported an image that does not show turns up as a red square that fills the original perimeters of the image, there is no solution to this problem any where on the forum and the adobe technical support staff will not help me find a solution to this problem what can I do to get Flash running normally again and fix this problem?????
Also after the first time i publish a preview after i begin using flash, flash renders the publishing and scene testing features as useless and claims that there is no HTML template found, or if the images if i import any images onto the stage that come up blank and render every image previous to that image as a red square and then try and publish a preview flash renders the publishing and scene testing features as useless and claims that there is no HTML template found. What can I do to fix this problem??? there is no solution on the web anywhere to this problem either.

I don't know if Flash has a memory limit of its own. The memory for your Flash file is based on the available memory on your computer.
There is a limit on the number of frames that you can have in any given timeline. I think that it's about 15000 frames, but that's a guess. Flash does all of its work at runtime, this means that no part of your animation is pre-compiled like it is in a video file. So the more objects that you have on the stage, the more work Flash has to do. It follows that the more objects that there are to animate, the more work your processor and the video card have to do.
Here's a list of articles on memory management that might be useful:

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module. I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC. There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
Why does the image size change?
I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
Help!...Please?

The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
Now when exported it can be set to export at
100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
Hope that helps somewhat..

Import and export the image in flash

HI! Guys!
I am Quite New to to flash in this enviroment so please i
need help can any one help me out in this problem.
the issue is I need to upload the image from my desktop to
certain flash animation by draging and generate the image from that
final Flash animation and save it in my computer.
Dijup

if you're using flash 8, you can use flash to upload a file
(using the filereference class) to a server that hosts the swf. and
if that file is a jpg or gif, you can load it into flash. however,
you can't drag and drop a file into flash.

How can I see how often and where an image is used in the site?

Just realized the post appeared twice as at first sending I
got an error page (contains no data...).
So, please do all answer to the other post, so that all
replies get collected at one post only.
Hello,
please excuse my maybe dumb question but converting from
GoLive I am still trying to find several practical effective
workflow features in DW ...
1. where in the sitewindow/assets or files panel can I see an
indication at each image if and how often it is used in a site?
2. and where can I see/check on which pages it is used?
Thanks in advance for guiding me there ...
bye,
Beate

> How do DW users know how often and where an image is

I'm not sure what the benefit is of knowing how often an
image is used, but
a search for the image by filename would do the trick.
And just so you'll know, this is a peer forum, not an
official communication
vehicle to Adobe. We are all just users here, not Adobe
employees.

Creating and moving images

Hi, I would like to make a game as hobby in Java but have no clue of anything. Can anyone show me how to create and move the images? I don't know how to show an image in window but I do know about JComponents and actionListeners such as mouse and key. Thank you.

look at the image and applet api and then create an image with the getImage method in the applet api
once youve created it, paint it in the paint method
to paint:
g.drawImage(Image imageName, int xPosition, int yPosition, Component? imageProducer/**u can just use this*/);then youll prolly hav a speed variable.
just do things like
xPosition += xSpeed;
and
yPosition += ySpeed;
then the update method to make it not flash... rememb to add Graphics dbg as an instance variable...
public void update(Graphics g)
          if (dbImage == null)
              dbImage = createImage (this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height);
              dbg = dbImage.getGraphics ();
          dbg.setColor (getBackground ());
          dbg.fillRect (0, 0, this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height);
          dbg.setColor (getForeground());
          paint (dbg);
          g.drawImage (dbImage, 0, 0, this);
      }

hi cor-el yeh checked that flash works on the flash test page , flash works on
sites like youtube but wont work on sites like bbc iplayer and the site you linked
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
won't display.
rkiga i have the same issue with http://listen.grooveshark.com/ , i don't use ad blocker but read the blog and i can see that the new java engine can crate some issues and i have used the 64 bit flash player gives nothing but headaches gives random crashes spent alot of time trying to get it to work but just gave up and reverted to a 32 bit os.
i really hope Mozilla find a way to fix thees issues soon i relay like this as a web browser and hope to start using it for testing soon.
i believe im on the beta 8 version

Image width difference from flash and photoshop while rotating

Hi,
     ->     I have loaded a image in the flash and a copy of a image in photoshop.
     ->     Then i have checked the width of a image in both the application and they look same.
     ->     In flash window>transform>angle i have given angle 0.7
     ->     In photoshop Image>Image Rotation> Arbitary i have given angle 0.7
     ->     I have checked width of a image in both the application and they are not same.
     Couldn't able to figure it out the reason for the change. Could any one assist me for the same to acheive the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Kamesharan A.

Something like 0.7 won't really show up very well for an example so here's PS CC and Flash CC rotating (approx) 200x200 px red square 20 degrees. They look pretty exact to me (although drawing and placement was done by hand so the slight difference in position is me). Rotation looks good.
Here's what I get from measuring width (but of course the width is of the rotated object), 256px or so on both:
For hand drawn 200px squares (one is 199.2px, etc) that's showing you it's pretty exact.
Mind you if you do a Image Rotation (I did a transform) then it will rotate in Photoshop via a different point. The rotation of the object itself looks the same (and the width is 257) but it's just positioned differently.
Your results should be similar.

I've updated Muse, and now my live site images are gone...

Hello, I've recently updated Muse... Now when updating my site, all images are missing. I've followed other discussion advice and deleted all files from server and reuploaded site from my FTP client. Also, deleted HTML site from home computer and exported a fresh version from Muse. Neither is successful. My conundrum is... I have a second computer with an older version (did not update this version of Muse), when I re-upload my original HTML site through FTP, everything is back and working. Deducing that it's a problem within Muse... So, I went back into Muse and made sure all assets are present and I have no errors. Am I missing something? Please advise, I would love to update my site...

Hello Brendan
If you open the pages (that were exported from Muse) locally from your computer, do they look fine? You need to go to the place where you exported as HTML from Muse and open the pages from there. If they look fine there, then the version of the pages exported by Muse is fine.
Cheers
