How to swap out an image in a .fla file

Hi,
I have an existing .swf movie and I aquired the .fla files to make edits. I found the image I want to swap out but I am not sure how to do it. I was planning on using Flash Pro to make the edit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ashley

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I tried 'right-clicking' on the actual image on the stage and saw an option to 'swap bitmap' so I did that and it swapped the image for the one I wanted to replace it with. I am still not sure how to do it the way you described but at least this way worked. Now, do I just save and reupload the swf, fla and the new image I swapped it for?
Thanks!

How to swap the source image of a MC programmatically in AS3?

This seems like it would be a simple thing.
I have converted a jpeg to a movie clip that I want to be able to swap out the image source programmatically in the code behind.
This can be done easily in the GUI. How do you do it programmatically?
I have been searching for hours now and have not found anything that discusses how to do this.
pseudo code:
var my_image = "my_image.jpg";
my_mc.SwapSource = my_image;

Thanks for the reply. Please allow me to elaborate further. I set the class name in the linkage section of the bitmap properties dialog box as you suggested using the format pic1, pic2, pic3....and so on for each of my images in the library. I want to assign these randomly to my movie clips, topImage and botImage respectively.
Following is my code:
// number of images
var myImageSequence = 12;
// assign a rectangular mask to the top image
topImage.mask = mcMask;
btnSubmit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseClickButton);
function mouseClickButton(e:Event) {
var myRandomNumber1 = Math.floor(Math.random()*myImageSequence)+1;
var myRandomNumber2 = Math.floor(Math.random()*myImageSequence)+1;
var myImageName1 = "pic" + myRandomNumber1;
var myImageName2 = "pic" + myRandomNumber2;
topImage.addChild (myImageName1);
botImage.addChild (myImageName2);
Following is the error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "pic10" to flash.display.DisplayObject.

When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

There are a number of third party solutions for this. I just use Bridge, so can't recommend one in particular.

How about putting out ISO images for various downloads

I posted this suggestion before, a year ago, I think. no change. so here it goes again:
It'd be much better to put out ISO images instead of.cpio.gz or .tar.gz file, as
many people I know had to extract the content from the archive, then generate cd images.
There are great free ('mkisofs') and commercial tools to generate iso images.
One may argue that it'd be hard for people don't have cd-rom/cd-rw. Under linux, this is not an issue. iso image can easily be mounted on a loop device and read from.

Hi Nick, I do see information on creating a slideshow with Quicktime at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
however it appears Quicktime X removed that capability. There is no 'open image sequence' option from the File menu in Quicktime X.
If I do end up sticking with Final Cut - would you recommend any codec and/or dimension size that would result in the best quality or the most crisp image? I also need a few fade in's and out's on various parts - I don't believe I would have the control without Final Cut.
Would resizing the image files in Photoshop to 1920 pixels by 1280 before importing them into Final Cut result in crisper images? Thanks.

How do I save Lightroom image edits in source file?

My experience with the trial version of lightroom is very positive in terms of the convenient and powerful capabilities for editing images and the associated metadata. But I can't find a way to save the "develop" edits to images into the source file for the photo I am working with. So far, I am able to save the metadata into the file but not the image editing. From what I read, I fear this is not possible without silly round about exporting to new files then copying / moving multiple copies around, etc. Without this ability, I am pretty sure I will not purchase lightroom and will miss out on all the powerful features. Without an OPTION that turns on the equivalent of a SAVE button, managing my photos collection would be a nightmare.
So my question is: How do I save the edited (i.e., developed) version of a photo back into the same file where the original photo was stored?
Please, please spare me all the reponses telling me how stupid I am for wanting to do this and that the cognisenti and professionals would NEVER do this. But please just tell me there is a secret place to turn on this option in lightroom.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same requirement to save in JPEGs files all non-metadata edits performed in Lightroom, in order to share modified pictures without duplicating files. By the way, I think it’s going to be more and more required by casual Lightroom users, as people get used to instant photo sharing in many situations where quantity matters more than quality
Here’s a nearly automatic (at least, scalable) solution that works, although it slightly lowers the quality by re-compressing the original pictures.
Once for all:
Download and install the wonderful Lightroom plugin “jf Run Any Command”, provided as donationware by Jeffrey Friedl here: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/run-any-command. This “export filter” plugin allows you to run a command of your choice with each exported file, as part of the export while it’s going on. (You may also browse Jeffrey’s blog to find many other useful and beautiful things.)
In Lightroom, pre-define an export settings as follows:
Export to the hard drive, to the original picture folder, without adding the exported file to the catalog
Name the exported file “EXPORTED-{Filename}” (or anything different from the original file name)
JPEG format, 76% quality (see An Analysis of Lightroom JPEG Export Quality Settings at http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/jpeg-quality)
Keep all metadata
Here’s the interesting part, the Run Any Command settings:
Command to execute for each exported picture: copy "{FILE}" "{Path}\{LIBRARYFILENAME}" (this replaces the original file with a copy of the exported file)
Command to execute upon export completion: del {FILES} (this deletes all exported files).
NB: One could wonder why not directly export with the original file name and silently replace the original files (I believe Lightroom would allow this). It’s just a matter of error handling: in case the export goes wrong, no original file is changed at all.
The easy part: each time you want to save edits:
In Lightroom, select the pictures to save, and export them with the pre-defined settings. You're almost done. The JPEG files are ok, but inside Lightroom you see the modification effects doubled, as their specifications remain in the catalog database and they apply on modified JPEG instead of the original files.
While the entire set of "saved" pictures is still selected, in the Develop module switch Autosync on and click Reinit to erase all modification specifications from the catalog for all pictures, then press CTRL-S to write down to disk any metadata updated by Lightroom -and accept if required to confirm that Lightroom values should replace externally set values.

PS: Papa Ben, I'm curious about the decision you finally made

How can I insert an image into an mov file in iMovie while keeping the background music?

I have a short MOV file movie clip that has background music but one of the images (it's a static element with text) is incorrect. How can I replace the image but keep the backgroup the same? Also what size would the image need to be to properly fit?
Thank you!

How do I save specific image from a .tif file?

Hello, I have a big .tif file contains some images. How can I save an image from a specific layer, to a .jpg or .png file?

Hide the layers as deepakgahlot has suggested by selecting the eye icon on the layers pallet and then when you have the layer you want save for web (Shift+Ctrl+Alt+S) or File>Save for Web.. and then you can select either a .jpg or .png

How do you write an image threshold to a file

Hi, I use IMAQ threshold to threshold an RGB image. How do I write this image to a file? Whenever I use the IMAQ Write JPG or Write PNG vI and try to view the file with the windows image viewer all I see is a black image. Does anyone know how to save a binary image?

If you cast it to an eight bit image and save it as a BMP or JPEG does it show up correctly? If so the problem probably lies in the fact that a 16-bit image in LabVIEW is signed, while third party viewers usually assume that it is unsigned. So rather than pixel values going from -32766 to 32767, they go from 0 to 65536. There are example programs on ni.com to get around this. One is called "Mapping a 16-bit Image to an 8-bit Image," another is called "Bit Shift an IMAQ Vision 12-bit Image and Resave for External Viewer." If you search for these titles on the ni.com search bar, you should be able to find them.

How to extract text and image information from postscript file

I want to write a programe,and extract text and image information from postscript file using Java.Is it possible? How to extract ?
Thank!

First of all, PostScript is not a "text" file. It can and often does contain binary data. Since PostScript streams often contain nested procedures, unless you process the procedure definitions and can "execute" them, you cannot simply "scan" a file to get what you want. No, I can't talk about this in detail since it is quite complex. But Adobe does have the
PostScript Language Reference Manual on-line for download at
. Look that over and you will have a fairly healthy respect as to the task involved.

How to find out when a folder or a file has been renamed?

I need to find out when a folder and some files have been renamed.
This happened when Mac OS X was 10.6 (Leopard Snow), now the Max OS X is Lion.
I use standard HFS+ filesystem format.
In Lion apparently there is a file property "Date Added" that change if a file is renamed, but the same property seems to be unused (e.g. -/-) before Lion.
I have Time Machine backups that help me to know that rename happened within a certain week, but I was looking for something more accurate (at least day accuracy).
If file system metadata can't help, I'm wondering if there is some log that track the first time spotlight indexed a specific file.
Thank you
/Andrea

Maybe you could keep tabs of the file size. If the file size grows (which it will do each time the writing process flushes that files output buffer), then the file was written to.
What I'd like to know is if there is some way to monitor the entire drive for changes and respond to stuff like that. I know that the Win32 API provides services that monitor the file system for changes, but I don't know if other OS's do... or if Java provides an interface to those features.

How to print the mirror image of a pdf file?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to print the mirror image of a pdf file? I could have sworn I have done this before in an older version of Acrobat.
I am currently working with Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional.
Thank you,
Tina

I just tested this and it worked fine for me.
When you select to print the cropped page, in the print dialog will be a thumbnail of what is about to be printed. Does this display just the cropped portion or the whole page?

Getting a high resolution image from a fla file

I have the source to a fla file. I would like to get a still
image from the video in in as high quality as possible so I can
make a print. Playing the file I can zoom in quite a bit but the
only way I can figure out how to get a still is a screen shot which
is sub par quality. Any suggestions?

Exporting Image Versions
Select the Image. "File➞Export➞Version". Specify an Image Export Preset that is set to "Original Size". If you use JPG, set quality to 10 or higher.
Image Export Presets are set at "Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export ... ".
