How to import a .png as an asset file?

Hi,
I'm new to Fireworks and would appreciate some help from
here. I have a .png file which collects useful icons that I may
reuse, and I wonder how I can import it as an asset (or something
else) that I can just drag any icon element in the .png to reuse.
Is there a way to do this in Fireworks? When I tried to open the
.png file normally, I can't click on each icon element and use it
as symbols, it's all just one big picture file. any
suggestion?

Is the PNG file one that has been saved as editable, from
Fireworks, or
has it been exported as a PNG file from Fireworks or another
program,
like Photoshop?

  • How to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table

    hello everybody,
    I am new here and new in Oracle. I would like to know the steps how to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table.
    Let say I already have table inside the Oracle. Then my user give me the sets of data inside the Excel Worksheet.
    So, how can I import the excel data into Oracle table.
    Thank you in advance.
    cheers,
    shima

    Even easier. Download JDeveloper 11G from this site.
    Set up the database connection, right click on the table, select Import->Excel and specify your file to load it. On the import pop-up, you must view and update each tab indicating Columns, Data Types, and DML.
    Columns -- move the selected columns that you want to load to the box on the right
    Data Types -- select column name from second column to which the data for each column of the import file should load
    DML -- click this tab to generate the INSERT SQL
    Once done click 'Insert'

    You can tell the aspect ratio of your project by clicking FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES.
    You can tell the dimensions of your PNG file by right-clicking it in the Finder and selecting Get Info. You should see the dimensions of the PNG. You can divide the longest dimension by the shortest dimension to find the aspect ratio. For example, 1920 divided by 1080 is the same as 16 divided by 9, which can also be written as 1.78

  • How to import an oss note related zip file

    Hello everybody.
    In order to apply an oss note to our systems, I have to import a .zip file containing two (non human readable) .u6b files.
    But I don't know how. Also, the correction instuctions are not helpful. They only say "To implement this new message class, import the attached file xyz.zip.".
    So I first tried to create the message class via SE91, then I looked for any transaction and/or utility in order to import this file, with no results.
    Is anyone familiar with this problem? How do I have to proceed?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I guess that this zip-file contains a transport. This transportfiles have to be copied in the /usr/trans/data und /usr/trans/cofiles and imported by the transaction STMS.

  • How to import a picture into a Psd file using codes?

    I'm trying to import a picture into a psd file as a new layer, but i can't find the method of photoshop object in visual studio 2010 object browser. Is it possible to do this job using vb.net codes?
    Any suggestion will be gratuated!

    I beleive Michael L Hale stated that he used the ScriptListener to generate code for PhotoShop "menu File>Place".  Many things can not be done through in Photoshop Scripting through the Adobe's normal scripting methods Adobe provided for scripting.  However Adobe also supplied  the ScriptListener.8li plugin which when installed is a bit like the actions palette's action recorded without controls.  Everthing that can be recorded in Photoshop is written to two files on your desktop in script code one in Javascript the other VBS.  The Script code use an Action Manager Method so thing not posible with normal scripting methods can be use in scripts.  The only way to start and stop recording these two script files it to install ScriptListener.8li before you start Photoshop and to uninstall it after you exit Photoshop. Awarkward but better then nothing there is no logic just step, step, step like actions and the code is not all that readable.  However you can take that code and modify it to use vars to turn steps into javascript functions and whatever VBS uses.
    For example Place

    DIM objApp
    SET objApp = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")
    REM Use dialog mode 3 for show no dialogs
    DIM dialogMode

    idPlc = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "Plc " )

        SET desc3 = CreateObject( "Photoshop.ActionDescriptor" )
        DIM idnull

  • How to Import multiple PNGs/files in order of file name?

    Im trying to create a PDF pased on a folder of PNGs I have. The Files are titled sequentailly, but when I highlight/select multiple PNGs and import them (or click and drag) into a new PDF, the Pages are all out of wack. How can I make the Pages appear sequentially based on the file names of the selected files being imported?  Click and draging individually is becoming a bit tiresome.
    Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.

    I don't have access to Acrobat 9 but in XI adding files with these names to the Combine Files window results in the correct order. I don't think there's much you can do about it in Acrobat 9, unless you use a script to combine the files. Your best option is probably to upgrade to XI.

  • How to import a PNG with alpha?

    I have some images I made in photoshop (on my PC) that have a transparent background. I exported them as a 24 bit PNG with a alpha channel. Importing to my ipad through itunes as a photo seems to loose the alpha channel. How do I use alpha in Keynote? This is a very basic function - what am I doing wrong?

    First off, Thank you to Iwell, skers1 and Kyn Drake for your help. I also found an unlikely work-around since posting my question. It's an app called myPhone Desktop (universal binary). It will let you copy a phone #, text, url or image from your desktop (pc/mac) and sends that to your iPhone/iPad/iTouch! Best of all, it supports image alpha! Very quick and simple. Here is the link http://www.myphonedesktop.com

  • How to import an alpha channel from .PSD file?

    I have a photoshop file (.psd) with an alpha channel. When I import this file into AE, I do not see the alpha being available or perhaps I don't know how to find it. I've followed this instruction but nothing happens afterwards. Okay, so my question is, when I drop the .psd file into my comp, how or where do I enble the alpha channel?

    I am not sure this a bug.
    It could be. But note that I can produce an identical case in which this behavior is not a bug.
    The thing is, in the world of video applications, Alpha Channel means "fourth channel used to store transparency values".
    In Photoshop, it normally means the same thing, but it can also mean "arbitrary channel created and stored for whichever reason the user may want it on the future". Typically, to save a selection so that it can be retrieved later. In fact, you can have many of these arbitrary channels.
    So, imagine this scenario:
    1. User makes a selection of the outline of the house.
    2. Instead of cutting the pixels outside the house, or creating a layer mask, the user goes to the Channels panel and hits the "Save selection as channel" button (or equivalent menu command).
    Photoshop creates a fourth channel (or even a fifth or a sixth if there were additional channels already), which is called "Alpha" but the user never did anything to make the information in that channel produce transparency.
    If after making the selection, the user would have cutted pixels or created a layer mask, then that operation would be relfected on what we normally consider as Alpha channel.
    In this case, what you can do is go to channels pannel, control click the thumbnail so that the channel is loaded as selection, then create a layer mask (Layer > Layer Mask > Current selection) from that selection. That's it.

  • How to import from ITunes in normal AAC file? (not protected)

    How do I import from Itunes in a normal AAC file? (ideally in 320kbps) but most important, not a protected file!
    Alternatively, how do I convert from protected aac to normal aac?
    Tks for you help.

    Hi,
    How do I import from Itunes in a normal AAC file?
    Go to iTunes Preferences, and choose- Advanced/Importing and under "Import Using" choose AAC, under "Setting" choose 320kbps. Copy protection is only added to songs downloaded from the iTunes Store, and not songs you import from cd's.
    how do I convert from protected aac to normal aac?
    The only legitimate way is to burn the songs to a cd, and then re- import them using the settings discussed above.

  • How to import an element v10 organizer keyword file into element v12??

    I am upgrading from elements 10 to 12.  In v10 I have saved a 'keyword tags' file.
    I want to import this 'keyword tag' file into v12, but don't see a way to do that.
    HELP!
    Jimbo

    I have Elements v10 on my desktop with numerous tags, with the assoicated file structure.
    I want to have the same tag structure on my laptop which has elements 12 installed.
    to create and save the keyword structure, I did is this;
    1. w/in v10 went to key word tags [see above]
    2. clicked on the down arrow to the right of the + sign,
    3. selected 'save keyword tags to file ...'
    4. kept the default option 'Export All Keyword Tags'
    5. clicked 'OK'
    which of course saved the keyword tags in a file name keyword tags.xml
    Oh, by the way, I learned how to do this save from a previous forum question.  (see my earlier post).
    Am I asking to do something that can't be done?  I hope not, because my keyword tag file has > 1100 entries.
    By the way, I viewed you suggested option from your previous input above, but I do not have the same view.  My view is shown below;
    which as you see has the [ Create (down arrow) Share (down arrow) ] at the top
    but the view below that is as shown above.  What am I doing wrong??
    Thanks for all your help.

  • How to import classes from an external actionscript file

    This is driving me crazy, I've been trying to resolve this on my own for ages, and I've reviewed a lot of different materials, but I still can't seem to just import some external actionscript classes correctly.
    I'm using Flash Builder 4 with the Flex 4 SDK on mac osx 10.6
    the class I'm trying to import (I'll call it DesiredClass) is in a folder like this
    /libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
    within the class itself, the package declaration looks like this (I left all the guts out for clarity):
    package com.foreignproject
        import flash.display.Sprite;
        public class DesiredClass extends Sprite
            public function DesiredClass()
    I'm working on a totally different actionscript file at
    /Users/username/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4/TestProject/src/TestProject.as
    in this file I try to import the DesiredClass:
    package
         import com.foreignproject.DesiredClass;
         import flash.display.Sprite;
         public class TestProject extends Sprite
              public function TestProject()
              var neatClass:DesiredClass = new DesiredClass();
    And then I try to add the class I want to the source path.
    I've tried adding each folder to the source path separately:
    /libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
    /libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
    /libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
    /libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
    /libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
    If I choose the libraries folder or either of the com folders then an error shows up in theTestProject.as file, saying:
    Definition com.foreignproject:DesiredClass could not be found.
    But f I choose either of the foreignproject folders then an error shows up in theDesiredClass.as file saying:
    a file found in a source-path must have the same package structure 'com.foreignproject', as the definition's package, ".
    What am I doing wrong? Please help. I bought a book on actionscript, started doing the flex-in-a-week series, read numerous online discussion boards, and I still can't import these classes.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know if this method is supported anymore but you can give it a try.
    If you backed up bookmarks in IE using the following directions, you should be good!
    *In IE, "File -> Import and Export -> Export Cookies".
    *Open newly exported "cookies.txt" in a text editor and put a period before every line that starts with a domain. So a line starting with <b>altavista.com TRUE / FALSE 1388491200 AV_ALL 1</b> will become <b>.altavista.com TRUE / FALSE 1388491200 AV_ALL 1</b>
    *Then, move the "cookies.txt" file to your profile folder.
    You can get to the Profile folder two ways
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
    or
    *Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.
