Images with absolute path no longer viewed in CS3

I just upgraded from Dreamweaver 8 to Dreamweaver CS3 - In 8
I could put an images absolute path and view it in Dreamweaver. Now
when I enter an images absolute path it won't show up while
viewing....I made sure the image was uploaded to the website - past
pages that had absolute paths to images can be seen, but new pages
I create or if I enter an absolute path in older pages, the images
disapear and I have to work with placeholders..... whats going on?
Do I have to keep using Dreamweaver 8? (I don't notice any
difference but I did upgrade the whole suite)

Hi,
I also noticed this problem. What I accidently discovered
that worked for me, is that as long as the characters in the path
were all together with "no spaces," everything worked fine. I used
underscores to connect words. I sell on eBay as well as designing
web sites, so I need DW to generate the code for me to paste into
eBay's html "code box." So anyway, I would create the web page in
my DW eBay template, and then upload it to my server. Then I would
go back to DW, and enter the absolut path(s) for all the pictures
to my server. As long as the path is connected with no spaces, it
works.

I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.

Also, it is not liking me adding a large ammount of images in one go?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Images using absolute path on portlet server not appearing when gatewayed

I am gatewaying several applications via a Plumtree 5 Portal. Images in these applications when referenced using relative paths (../images/image.jpg) work. Images using absolute path (\applicationFolder\images\image.jpg). When gatewayed they are presented like this:
http:\\plumtreeServer\portal\server.pt\gateway\PTARGS_0_212_252_0_0_43/https:%3B/remoteServer/applicationFolder/Web/\applicationFolder\images\image.jpg
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can I link to images using absolute paths in HTML Help and still see them locally?

I'm publishing HTML help pages to a Web server. All .htm files on the Web server are in their own folder, and all image files are in a separate folder. Links to images are generally of the form <img src="/images/clear.png" height="14" width="8">. That is, the images use an absolute path reference from the doc root folder (rather than relative path from the current file folder, such as "../images/myImg.png").
I can modify the HTML for the images to follow this convention, but then I cannot see the images locally within RoboHelp, but must instead wait until the files are integrated with the Web server. Is there a way to set up a RoboHelp project so that I can force an image path of "/images" both locally and in the HTML?
Using RoboHelp 9.0.1.232.
Thanks.

RoboHelp expects the images to be within the project and will need that if you are to see them when working. It then uploads them to the server when you publish. There is a check box when you publish so that only updated files get uploaded.
You could point Resource Manager to the server folder with the images and then link to those images. What happens then is the image gets downloaded into your project so that you see it when working. If the server image changes you will see the icon in Project Manager changes so that you can update the local copy. It would be a one-off exercise changing your workflow.

Robohelp HTML command-line utility overwrites merged files in .hhp file with absolute paths. Any way to prevent this?

I have a Robohelp 11 HTML project which uses merged CHM files. I have a help build script which compiles this project using the RH command-line utility. Whenever this runs, RH overwrites the names of the merged CHM files in the .hhp file to use absolute paths (even if the .hhp file is read-only!). I've searched Adobe forums and this appears to be a RH bug. In my case, it doesn't stop the project performing the merge, but it looks like it causes problems when searching the resultant parent CHM (topics matching the search simply don't show up in child projects), as the search cannot necessarily find the merged files referenced in the .hhp when someone performs the search on a different machine. I notice that if I compile via the RH UI, the .hhp entries are not overwritten. So, a workaround is to do the build manually. However, we'd like to automate our help build. Is there any way to prevent the command-line compiler overwriting the merge file entries in the .hhp?

This was a problem with Rh9, see Item 13 at Using RoboHelp 9
I haven't seen it reported since but maybe something at that link will help.

How to get InputStream from a file with absolute path?

Hi, guys:
If I have file with a absolute path that may be inside/outside
my Eclipse plugin, I want to get an InputStream from it. It just keeps giving me null for "is":
String absFilePath = "/D:/my_dir/.../sample_file.txt";
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(absFilePath);
regards,

Don't use resource as stream if you have an absolute path, use FileInputStream.

Embedding fonts in AS3 with absolute paths

I'm having difficulty embedding fonts in AS3. For instance,
using absolute paths:
[Embed(source="C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\CONSOLA.TTF",
fontName="Consolas", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
... I get the error message: "Error: unable to resolve
'C:WINDOWSFontsCONSOLA.TTF' for transcoding.
I'm hoping the backslashes are missing from the error just
because the compiler doesn't return them, and not that it's losing
them. I've tried various TTFs with the same result. Even tried
copying code from the AS3 Cookbook letter for letter. :)
Thoughts?

I have a similar issue happening. I am using AS3 and have
this code in my file:
// package, import statements etc...
// the line below is the problematic line
[Embed(systemFont="..\\..\\..\\fonts\\arial.ttf",
fontName="Arial (True Type)",
mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
// now declare my class
public class ImageRotator extends UIComponent
// etc.
The class compiles fine but when I try to run it I get the
following runtime error:
"Error: Error #2136: The SWF file
file:///C:/projects/photogallery_screensaver/bin/photogallery_screensaver.swf
contains invalid data."
I've tried several things including changing the location of
the font file, using a different font file, embedding a systemFont.
But I always get the same error.
Help please!
Thanks,
Dan

Trouble with Photoshop CS5.1 eps images with clipping path placed in FHMX

Photoshop CS5 eps files, clearcut with clipping paths now show a black box instead of a transparent background when placing in Freehand MX.
Tiff files with clipping paths work OK but look ugly and make Freehand redraw the screen all the time, thus slowing down my work.
The eps file placed in InDesign CS5.5 is OK
Anybody knows a work-around? I', doing most of my work in Freehand

Problem with absolute path and context using Tomcat 4

I added the following line to my server.xml:
<Context path="/track" docBase="track" />Now I have used absolute paths(ex: /includes/css/style.css) throughout my code and it worked when I served my application from the ROOT context but when I moved it to the /track - the paths did not include the new root context.
So instead of looking at http://localhost/track/includes/css/style.css it still looks at http://localhost/includes/css/style.css.
Is there any kind of setting I am missing in the web.xml or server.xml? I really would like to be able to use absolute paths relative to the context root.
Please help! Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am not sure what exactly you are asking but here is my shot. If one tomcat is serving more than one application then the only way for tomcat to know which application to refer is by looking at the context path. Since you have the context path of /track then it should appear in all of your urls being directed to the server (for both servlet and jsp). Since you have used absolute path in all the cases either you will have to change the absolute path or you will have to define them relative (which is a better idea) to a base dir. Hope it helps.

CS4: crash with right-click on image with clipping path!

I have a placed image. It is TIFF and has aPhotoshop Path. The path is not on when placed. Then I select the TIFF image and choose clipping > options.
I select the Photoshop path.
Now I want to change the path to a frame so I right-click on the image...
Everytime in Mac OS X 10.5.5 the beachball cursor and I crash!

EWh...no, it was NOT a faceless apllication. It had to do with a corrupted preference! Has to do with the 'Edit with' list, see also this post:

App.open(file) fails even with absolute path.

Hi There,
I am new to scripting for AE so please go easy on me. I have these two lines in a script which is a plain text file with .jsx as the extension.
var project = new File("C:\path\to\my\project.aep");
app.open(project);
So then, I go to my command line and enter this. I should note that I added the directory containing afterfx.exe to my environment path (I am running Windows 7).
afterfx -s myscript.jsx
When i hit enter, AE launches, but I get an error that says:
Unable to execute script at line 1. After Effects error: Unable to call "open" because of parameter 1. Path is not valid. Path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS5\Suppor Files\pathtomyproject.aep
What?! Why does it think my aep file is within the Support Files directory?! Is it because of the path environment variable I setup? Any tips to force AE to find the file I specified in the new File() method?
Thank you for any advice and your time!

Hi,
You need to use double backslashes in the path, like so:
var project = new File("C:\\path\\to\\my\\project.aep");

Is there a Component for rendering images with Absolute URLs?

I would like a component like <h:graphicImage> that would accept absolute URLs instead of relative ones. Does such a beast exist or should I write one myself?
Note, I'm looking for a component because I want the image to appear in a table and the URL changes for every row. If I just handcode a <img> tag in the <h:column> tag, it doesn't get rendered for every row.

<h:graphicImage> can use absolute URL.

Accessing folders with absolute path having chars 256

Hi, while writing a program that recurses through the dirs and subdirs to find the size of folders tha abs path to the folder became > 256 chars and I got "can't access this folder; path is too long" message. please suggest any workaround for this problem except renaming the parent folders to shorten the path length.

I am working on Win2K and the part of code is :
for(int i = 0; i < listFolders.length; i++){ //throws NullPointerException here
                      if(listFolders.isDirectory()){
          mytasks.add(listFolders[i]);
          }else if(listFolders[i].isFile()){
                              size += (listFolders[i].length())/1000; //modified here- convert to KB
                              countFiles++;
          if(listFolders[i].lastModified() > max){
          max = listFolders[i].lastModified();
               fileName = listFolders[i].getAbsolutePath();

How can I embed a video with absolute path into a PDF

I'm having some difficulties in embedding a video into a pdf; I followed the instructions to embed it properly, but the path points to my personal computer , so that the video will be available only on the computer I used to embed the document.
Any suggestion? Can I modify the path directly? The PDF is supposed to be linked to another interactive PDF and to work both online and offline.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I tested the file on other computers, though, and it doesn't open the video on any computer but mine (mine: the one I used to embed the video).
Am I doing something wrong? I'm using Acrobat X and the procedure I'm following is: Multimedia/Add Video/Choose file
I searched for manuals online and I saw that some of them were checking the box "embed file", but I don't have that choice..
Maybe I'm supposed to use another version of acrobat?

Converting tif with clipping path to solid spot color CS3

There must be a better way to do this, I need to make an opaque white spot color overprint the silo'd 4/C image (this is for a window cling). In the past I would duplicate the tif, convert to grayscale, fill with black, duplicate the placed tif, re-link to the new grayscale tif and color it to the spot color. This works fine, but is there a way to simply duplicate the placed tif, delete the image and fill the path with a spot color? TIA

Absolutely. First copy the image and then paste in place. Right click and choose convert clipping path to frame. Delete the image from that frame and fill it with color.
Bob
