Flash tiled background

Hi im trying to achieve a seamless tiled background that animates. www.efficient-heat.net
I have created an animation in flash and have saved this out as a gif . I have then attached this gif to the body backgrouund :
body {
background:#E1E1E1 url(../images/windmills.gif) repeat scroll center top;
font-family:"Lucida Grande",Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,serif;
font-size:0.8em;
line-height:1.5em;
margin:0;
text-align:justify;
However im not happy witth the results,  seams show and the animation is choppy.
How can I  achieve the same tiled animated background but with higher quality  ?
Can I tile a swf file ?
Thanks

Hi Ive found that if I remove the gradients from the animation I can achieve cleaner results.
The tiling of the animated gif has given acceptable results.
Thanks for the help.

  • Text within textframe disappearing once placing tiled background

    Hello,
    I'm new with the creative suite and trying to navigate and learn!  Super steep learning curve..
    Here's my issue:  The text within my text frames in InDesign disappears when I place a tiled background I created in photoshop.  I've put the background .psd file in the bottom-most layer, tried sending it back, but for some reason, text in higher layers just keep disappearing.  Images will show up, but never text.
    Any help with this issue?  And I apologize in advance if this has already been answered somewhere in the forum. 
    Many thanks!

    Sounds like you have text wrap applied to the background image. Either turn it off, or set the text frame options to "ignore Text Wrap"

  • Create repeating / tiled background images

    I may have missed this in the previous versions of Adobe Photoshop.
    Is there "a way / or method" to create repeating / tiled background images in photoshop?
    Many times a "tile" for a tiled background is quite small at around 150px x 150px.
    1:
    It would be very nice to be able to work on the tile, be able to zoom in and out of it, and actively see a functioning live tiled background.
    Yes it might be a bit like a kaleidescope, but it would be live and you would see any harshness in the pattern and can remedy glitches it in real time.
    2:
    It would also be very nice to be able to "draw / paint / edit" off the edge of the tile and have the effect carried over to the other side...
    Yes just like in Asteroids.
    I think creating Tiled BG's is a very strong contender for being one of the more frustrating things I do with Photoshop. I hope the above ideas can be added to PS6.
    Just to you you know... DPaint IV for the Amiga did this very well back in 1990'ish.

    There will not be any substantial changes to CS6 to add new features beyond the beta. We are too far along in the process for that. To accomplish what you desire, can you use the pattern feature to tile?  For any new features you wish to request, you can to to this website  http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family  people can vote on the favorite features.
    Pattie
    Use the Rectangle Marquee tool on any open image to select an area to use as a pattern. Feather must be set to 0 pixels. Note that large images may become unwieldy.
    Choose Edit > Define Pattern.
    Enter a name for the pattern in the Pattern Name dialog box.

  • Template Problem: Tiling background image gone and duplicate .swf headers

    Problem 1: I have been working with a template, and creating
    new files from the template without incident. Recently I created a
    new file from the template and found that the tiling background
    image (dots appearing on the right and left of the page) was gone.
    The tiling image is present in the template, but not in files
    created from it. Any guess how I broke that?
    Problem 2: In my template I have an editable region wherein I
    can place a .swf animation. When I upload my page made from the
    template, a pair of .swfs appear stacked on top of each other, not
    just the single .swf graphic. Any guess what I am doing wrong
    there?
    The problem page can be viewed here (
    Shop
    Page), and the template files are located here (
    Template
    right-click and Save-As).
    I appreciate any help you can offer.

    This will ALWAYS happen when one of the following obtains:
    1. The linked file is OUTSIDE the root of the current site.
    2. DW *THINKS* that the linked file is OUTSIDE the root of
    the current site
    (how could this happen? Here's a for example - the path to
    the root folder
    looks like this -
    C:\whatever\joe's files\blah blah blah\thefilename.jpg
    Fix either of those issues, and the problem will go away.
    Might that be your problem?

  • Flash as background using CSS

    I know you can't set an swf file as a cell or table
    background, so I'm now trying to use a swf file as the background
    on my web page. Set up some div tags, but can't seem to get that to
    work, either. Is it even possible to do this? I'd like to have text
    visible above a cool "cursor" effect that is a swf file.

    I've created a div tag for the main body text, positioned it
    with an absolute value and a Z index of 2. I also created a divtag
    for the flash element, positioned it similarly, and given it a Z
    index of 1. Looks okay in Dreamweaver, but not when I go live.

  • Full flash browser - background

    I am a very inexperienced actionscripter so any help here
    would be great. I am trying to load a random background in a flash
    clip, and resize that into the full browser dimensions. What I have
    working now is an "unscaled" resize... The background clip image
    distorts. This is fine for a gradient or solid color, but not
    working for images. Any ideas?

    Just add a flvcomponent without skin to the background and use the below code on the timeline.
    import flash.display.StageAlign;
    import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
    stage.align     = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

  • Flash CS4 - Background Colour Change Not Changing in Test Movie

    Hello,
    Whenever I change the document's background colour in Flash CS4 and then "test movie", the background colour remains white. However if I publish it the colour will be the selected colour.
    It's not a huge deal since it publishes right, but I'd really like to be able to test my movie with the correct background colour.
    I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I am updated to the latest version of CS4.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks

    Hey there,
    Could you describe the setup or link a file with the problem?  I can't reproduce the problem with basic fades (obviously they should continue to work when you switch the player).  Is it just in the document you're working on, or all documents you create?
    Thanks,
    Jen.

  • Adding multiple images for tiled background?

    Hi,
    I'm having some trouble trying to add multiple images to the my tiled layer class. I can't figure out a way how to add these images to my current code. My goal is to add at least 4 images onto the screen.

    I've read the API.
    But the thing that confuses me is the uploading of images. I can't figure out how by uploading different images can the code recognize which one would go into the tile.
    -I know in the api it shows different numbers to display each tile used with a specified image. But I can't figure out how to code it.
    Here's my attempt
    private void buildBackground() throws IOException
            Graphics g = getGraphics();
            Image tileImageOne;
            Image tileImageTwo;

            TiledLayer tiles;
            TiledLayer tiles2;
            try
                tileImageOne = Image.createImage("/tile_1.png");
                tileImageTwo = Image.createImage("/tile_2.png");
                tiles2 = new TiledLayer(11, 14, tileImageTwo, 20, 20);
                tiles = new TiledLayer(11, 14, tileImageOne, 20, 20);
                int[] grid={

  • Adding a tiled background/ w/layout grid

    Is this possible? I want to use a simple .gif image to cover the wide expanse so not matter how wide the window is dragged the same colour (or tile ) is there.
    I tried using background colour/ background image which is fine if you have a big fat grid but it will only continue to the expanse of the grid.....Thanks

    You can set the bg color of the entire page in the Page Properties. Click the little page icon in the upper right of the pages window.
    I may not understand your question though...

  • Where are image files stored for tiled backgrounds in the templates?

    I am working with a template, but wanted to change the image that is set to tile in the background of one of the text boxes. I wanted to use another image that is set to tile in a different box, but I cannot locate this image. When changing the image on the Image Fill, after I click Choose, I need to point to an image file - anyone know where these images that are in the templates are stored?

    The files are located in the theme package that's located in the iWeb application: iWeb/Contents/Resources/Themes folder. From there you find the theme, open the package and drill down till you find the image files. You will have to use Quickview to locate the one you want.
    What theme are you using?

  • Adding Video to Flash as Background

    Hi!
    I am not sure if this is possible. But I want to add a video to an intro of a website, however, I want to be able to write over the top of it. And I don't want the navbar (that usually goes with vid clips) to appear.
    Is this possible?
    Cheers

    It might be possible but as you asked this question, I got one more to add up and that is, is it possible to have intro page in website and that page will not be crawl to search engine robots. And does page-load speed affects Page Rank as my flash website take 1 min approx to load. I read one Article on Page Load Speed Effects at Social Media Promotion blog.

  • How do you create tiled backgrounds?

    Hi there,
    I've really been bashing my head against this one.
    Does using the css property -fx-background-image actually work?
    Alternatively, how do you tile an image? I've played around with TilePane, but I am hoping for an easier way.
    Thanks !

    Ok, so
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17802_01/javafx/javafx/1.3/docs/api/javafx.scene/doc-files/cssref.html the -fx-background-image property only applies to Regions.
    StackPane p = new StackPane();
    p.setStyle(
    "-fx-background-image:url(\"images/rhs_btn_bg_bottom.gif\");" +
    "-fx-background-image-repeat:repeat-x;" +
    "-fx-background-image-position: top left;");
    Strangely though, /images does not work, but images does. Is the path calculation a bit different with css?

  • Flash Player Background Updater does not work

    Since FP 11.2 I was expecting all our workstations to update Flash Player automatically when an update is released. However since FP 11.3 was released a few days ago, all our users have been prompted to install the new version every day.
    Just to confirm we have "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" selected in Flash Player Settings Manager.
    Is this the correct behaviour or am I missing something?

    You don't say on what Mac, and you haven't actually asked a question, but perhaps this might be helpful:
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Note that the latest Flash Player update only works on YouTube with Safari in 32 bit mode - until YouTube correct this.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
