Image component always on top

I having an issue with the positioning of some of my images... It seems that they are going behind the main img and i cant see them... I have a button so that when you click the image is suppose to appear but it wont... is there some kind of code that allows me to make a contentPane component always ontop or send to the front so its over all the other images?

I don't know if this will help you, but maybe you should give JLayeredPane a look?

Image processor always on top?

When I use image processor (launched by Photoshop or Bridge) Photoshop go in front (top window) each new picture processed, means every seconds.
It's pretty annoying cause I can't even keep a browser in front...
Does anybody have the same problem?
It comes with CS4 and CS5, on 2 different machines.
How can I fix that?

The Image Processor resize is a fit image type resize not an Image Size dialog type resize. Let say you have a 3:2 aspect ratio camera. Landscale image have 3:2 aspect ratio and portrait have 2:3 aspect ratio. You want the resize your large camera images for the web. You want the longest side to be 600 px. You would set the width and height values 600 px. Your image would be resize constraine to retain their aspect ratios. So landscape images would resize to 600px by 400 px and Portraits would resize to 400 px by 600 px. You can also resize Image fot a device like your 4:3 UXGA display set 1600 in for the width and 1200 for the height Portrait would still be 2:3 with a 1200 px height and Landscape will still be 3:2 with a 1600 px width. When displayed on you 4:3 display the whole images would fit on your display and fil the width or hight depending in the images orientation ther woul be a border on two sides.
Photoshop also shipts with a FitImage Plug-in so you can record using the plug-in in as action. When you do the values you set in the fitimage dialog while recording the action are recorded into the action step. When the action plays back the values are passed to fitimage and the dialog for the step is not diaplayed. Unless you thurn on that steps dialog. If you do you will see the recorded values are set into the dialog. So you don't need to write a script to handle resize for different orientations. It just so happens to be that since CS3 FitImage is a script. So if you want to pass some values to a script. Write the script as a plugin and record as action to pass recorded values. Plug-in scripting support was added in CS3. The script needs to record its dialog setting into the action step and also not display it dialog if it being run from a recorded action step. To learn more read FitImage.jsx in Photoshop's Presets\Scripts folder.

WhiteBoardCustomShapes Images always on top

Hi,
I am playing around with the WhiteBoardCustomShapes source and I noticed that images that are drawn on the WBcanvas are always above all the other elements after you reload the whiteboard.
At first everything is fine. The images stay in the order they are being placed on the whiteboard. But if you close and reopen the whiteboard. All the images are always above the other elements (arrows, strokes,text and so on).
Does anyone have an idea why and how to fix that?
Thank you

Okay so I found the solution and answer. If I am wrong, please correct me.
First the reason of the problem:
If you make customShapes you have to register them to the whiteboard. Well in the WhiteboardCustomShapes example they use the following code:
WBTriangle.mxml LINE 62:93
protected function onToolBarAdd(p_evt:Event):void
                if (sharedWB.isSynchronized) {
                   //.....some code here//.............
                    var imageShape:WBShapeToolBarDescriptor = new WBShapeToolBarDescriptor(WBShapeToolBarDescriptor.TOOL);
                    imageShape.toolTip ="Image";
                   imageShape.shapeFactory = new WBCustomShapeFactory(WBFileImageShape, WBSimpleShapeFactory.CURSOR_RECTANGLE, new WBFileImageShapeToolBar());
                    //..... and some more code
Okay so here is the code where we register our customShapaFactory. But if you check some more code com.adobe.coreUI.controls.whiteboardClasses.WBCanvas.as and debug it. You will realize that the
function protected function drawShape(p_desc:WBShapeDescriptor, p_animate:Boolean=false):void starting at line 894 is not recognizing our factory at the first call. The reason is that the whiteboard is registering its own shapeFactories somewhere at the beginning and we register our customShapeFactory after the whiteboard has already synchronized and started drawing elements on the Canvas.
SOLUTION:
Put this line of code this.sharedWB.registerFactory(new WBCustomShapeFactory(WBFileImageShape, WBSimpleShapeFactory.CURSOR_RECTANGLE, new WBFileImageShapeToolBar())); for example into the init() function [Line:70] or in the roomConnector_synchronizationChangeHandler function into the if (cSession.isSynchronized) { block (file: WBTriangle.mxml). This will register your customShapeFactory somewhere at the beginning and will make sure that your shapes are being drawn on the canvas at the same time all the regular shapes (triangles, arrows, rectangles and so on) are.
ANOTHER PROBLEM:
Well you might think that it will work now. And it does ..........SOMETIMES.
Objects do not have an order. doing something like this :
          for (var shapeID:String in _shapes) {
                returnArray.push(shapeID);
does not mean you will get the elements into the array in the same order as they are in the Object. So in line 423 file com.adobe.coreUI.controls.whiteboardClasses.SharedWBModel.as the function override public function getShapeIDs():Array does the above. To get rid of that problem i just added one line returnArray.sort(Array.NUMERIC); to that function.My changed function looks like this:
          override public function getShapeIDs():Array
             var returnArray:Array = new Array();
             for (var shapeID:String in _shapes) {
                 returnArray.push(shapeID);
             returnArray.sort(Array.NUMERIC);
             return returnArray;
After the two above mentioned changes everything is being rendered in the order it was originally drawn on the whiteboard.
If anyone knows a different or better way, please tell us. If not I hope that this will help somebody out there that had the same headache causing problem, for example you SANDY_LERMAN

How to keep toolbar in Photoshop CS5 always on top

I have just upgraded to CS5 from CS3. In CS5, when I move an open document around on screen it covers over the toolbar, but only if the toolbar is docked to the side of window. It will also cover the property bar and menu bar at the top of the interface. The palettes on the r/h side always stay on top if not docked to the edge of the window, but if docked they too get covered over. In CS3 all the interface items stayed on top. Is there any way to make sure they is always on top when docked (I prefer not to have them free floating)?
I'm using Vista Ultimate. My monitor is a Dell 24" Ultrasharp running at native 1920x1200 res.

Thanks for the suggestion. Turning OpenGL off makes no difference, and with it turned on I have also tried the three different quality settings, none of which made any difference either.
I've also just tried with CS5 in a window, rather than fully maximised, and like that I can actually drag an open image right outside the Photoshop interface!

As the title I can have inside a JDesktopPane some JinternalFrame "always on top" compared to one that makes the background?You might get better help by explaining what you want to achieve, rather than how you want to achieve it.
You can do custom painting in a JDesktopPane, you know.

Center Image Component's Source

In my flex app, I have an image control within a VBOX and I
set the size to 100%by100%. When an image loads (as usual) it is
placed in the top left hand corner of the component. How can I keep
the image component's source centered while still keeping the
100%by100% size property?

Simple image component question

I have to fix a flash file someone else made, and I need to use an image component, which I'm not familiar with.
I just need a simple image that scales up, and then moves across the screen. I've got my image component, and tweened it to scale and then move, and it looks fine when I scrub the timeline, but when I test as a swf it doesn't do anything, it just sits there.
Am I missing something?

If its working on while dragging the timeline during in authoring and not working while playing the complied swf can mostly mean that u have attached a top command somehwere in ur code which is stopping the timeline from moving forward on playing the swf.Check for unwanted stop commands.

Making a new component paint over top of others.

Hi,
I'm trying to make my own custom component (by extending Component). In the paint method, I just would like to draw a rectangle of some size at a certain point on the screen. I want this rectangle to be able to be drawn over top of any components that may already be there, much like a menu is drawn on the screen.
My question is, how can I do this? Oh, and I'm restricted to the AWT package only (no Swing). What graphics object do I need to do this?
Thanks in advance!

you must ensure that your component remains on top of the components you wish to draw over. thats how menus do it. they use a glass pane or some such which is always on top of the other items. This is maintained by the main window the menu is added too. that window knows to always add other things beneath this glass pane which is on top. You should be able to do what you wish.

Image to always fill div

I'm trying to create a slideshow with full screen images that fill the viewport (in my case probably a div) like the ones on this site:
http://tympanus.net/Tutorials/CSS3FullscreenSlideshow/
The goal is for the image to ALWAYS fill the the div, regardless of its size... cropping the sides if the div is more narrow than the image, and cropping the top and bottom is the div is shorter than the image. Of course the image needs to maintain it's aspect ration.
Thanks in advance.

Use the css
sym.$('yourDiv').css({'background-size':'contain'});
or cover maybe:
sym.$('yourDiv').css({'background-size':'cover'});

Always on top windows

How can I make "Always on top" window in Java?
Thanks

Hi, i a using jdk1.3 on mandrake linux, how to make Jwindow reside on top of all the other windows, i've tried using the listeners, problem is once the focus moves to any of the child component of the window, the focus listener for Jwindow will not work, even requestFocus on the jwindow doesn't get the focus on the window, i can't take JFrame, (don't want title bar), if any body can help with JNI code on linux to make the Jwindow always on top.

Need to make JFrame Always on top.

I have the main application window(JFrame).It in turn creates many JFrames , i want the newly created JFrames to be set as ALWAYS_ON_TOP , ie even if i click on the the main window,the new JFrames should be always on top similar to Yahoo messenger and MSN messenger.
Actually i don't want the functionality of "ALWAYS_ON_TOP" with JDialog or JInternalFrame,as both of them will ultimately have their parents as the main JFrame window.
I want this functionality with JFrames that are created from the main JFrame window.
Actually i am floating some components of my main JFrame window for which i create a new JFrame window and place that floated component.
Now this floating JFrame is independent of the main JFrame window ,but i want to set "always on top" for the floating JFrame windows similar to the Yahoo and MSN messengers.

Try this code. It should be work on all windows which are inherited from java.awt.Window
* Call this from class consructor
public void initialize() {
TopThread top = new TopThread();
top.start();
* Keep JWindow on top (inner class)
class TopThread extends Thread {
public void run() {
while(true) {
toFront();
* Let 10 milliseconds for other code to execute
try {
Thread.sleep(10);
catch(Exception e) {
// Nothing to do

HTA Always on Top

Hi all,
I've got a lovely HTA that is intended to be displayed on all our users screens at Windows startup, as defined by a GPO. While everything is working fine, I'd really like to have it as an "always on top" window or at least grab focus/flash whenever somebody clicks away.
Every forum thread I've found via Google says this is not possible, but other people have found 'hacks' to get this to work. Various people mention either modal/modeless dialogues or using an onblur function. Unfortunately, as a self taught 'coder', my VBS/HTA powers are fairly weak and I don't really know how to put this into practice.
Would anybody be able to give me some guidance on how I could possibly launch the HTA and retain focus or keep it above other windows somehow?
Cheers
Andy

You need a Third-party application
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html 32 or 64 bit version
put nircmdc.exe in your path or in the folder with hta file,
now use this sample .hta

Error while using Image component to display a child flash file

Hi
I'm using Xcelsius version 4.5. I used the "Image Component" to import a child flash file(.swf) into the parent flash file.
I gave the path "D:\246024\Loblaw\Dashboard Docs\New Folder\trend input.swf" in the general tab of the image component.
After exporting the .xlf into a flash file , it works fine in the system in which i created it. If i open the same flash file in any other system the parent file opens but the child flash file imported through the image component is not displayed.
Please help me out in solving this issue
Thanks
Anitha

yes, you will face the same problem as its still looking for the path of the swf.
you need to have the SWF on specific location which is accessable by the Parent SWF
usually web page or something which is accessable for all.
good luck

Flash always on top in Safari 5.0.5

Hi,
I have some problems with flash in Safari 5.0.5 with Flash Player 10.2. My flash banners is always on top and covers menus and popups. wmode and z-index seems to be correct. It works as expected in the latest nightly build of webkit and Google Chrome, but not Safari.
Here is the webpage, scroll down and you will see the flash covering the top menu: http://www.booli.se/bostad/villa/hisingen/plockerotegatan+16/786830
I found this question on the same topic (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2458855?start=0&tstart=0) where the problem was said to be solved with Safari 5.0.1. A test site was set up in that thread by user suastegui which can be found here: http://www.guru.ag/fl2/iframeTest/index.html. On this page the flash is still covering the other elements for me.
Any ideas?

BBC iPlayer relies on Adobe Air. AIR 1.5.3 is the last version of AIR that supports Mac PowerPC and Windows 2000. AIR applications that require AIR 2 or later cannot be installed or used on a Macintosh PowerPC or a computer running the Windows 2000 operating system.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/853/cpsid_85304.html
I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.
