Library image swapping bug.

I have been developing a flash demo of my companies product for the past few weeks. I upgraded recently to Adobe CS5 from MM Flash 8 so that I could recover some newer Flash components that were developed in a newer version. This all seemed to go with out any issue. However, once in CS5, I noticed twice that an images switched to another image in the library. So I had two copies of the image and one image that went missing. I solved this by just updating the image that was corrupted.
I was on a crunch for this project and was working 16hr days, so I just left my computer on over night with CS5 open. I published the presentation and sent it for approval. Once everything was approved closed CS5.
When I reopened it many, (around 30ish) of my images have been corrupted the same way. I went back to my previous backups and the last 8hrs worth also have the corruption.
My questions are:
Is this a known bug?
Is this something I can easily and permanently fix in this demo or as long as I use it will it keep on screwing up?
Is this issue only with images or is my action script also likely to be corrupted?
Thanks

I also noticed that the images that didn’t get corrupted were the ones that were added after I last moved my FLA. I believe the reason for this, is that even though the images are stored in the FLA, it tries to update them from the last known update path. If it can not find the image there it substitutes the next image in flash folder structure that has an image located in the update path. If I had time to play with it I would temporarily replace all the images on the hard drive with one not used in my project to see if they get used as well as doing other things to prove my theory one way or the other.
I did test the theory with the first image I fixed, which reloaded correctly when I restarted Flash, but I have not looked at the project since I fixed the rest, so I hope I am right. By the sounds of what you are saying I am very worried.
Another thing I would like to test, would saving as CS4. Closing and opening then saving as CS5 solve the issues. One thing I don’t really know, what is lost when saving as CS4?
Thanks again for your help, if any further corruption occurs I will follow your advice. I will also let you know if I find any more stable way to work around this bug. Or if I find the exact cause.
Thanks again

Mouse Over Image Swap bugged transition problem

I have a question regarding the function of "Import" and "Update" in the properties of an image. I've re-updated the link above to reflect my specific question. In the movie, there are image swap transitions as you scroll over various sections of the home page. These actions are carried out in the target cont_images and cont_images/images for the pictures. I attempted to update one of the photos in the library with a new picture of equal quality and proportions but when I then watch the movie, the action is carried out but in a very un-smooth fashion. The transition can be contrasted here:
http://www.greenworknow.com/Test/2138/flash&html/index.html
vs
http://www.greenworknow.com/Test/2138/flash&html/buggedmain.swf
The bugged transition will be the Adventure tab in the center, right most box. You'll also notice that with the bug it quickly flashes the picture under the "Register" Tab (image_big_2) with the one that was changed being (image_big_3). The part that puzzles me is that it had worked once by simply updating/importing but for some reason no longer does, I believe it lies in the method I'm going about replacing the photo. Also the photo isn't being called externally from a folder as it is built into the library of the FLA. I hope this was all clear enough. If there are any odd parts, I'll be watching the thread to respond if you have a question.
Again, thank you for your continued efforts in helping me, the aid is very much appreciated.
(If you need to download the FLA, there's a link under that index page above to do so)

*bump*
Anyone have an idea? or maybe alternate methods I can try to implement the new images?

Image swap not working in IE

I have set up an image gallery using image swap in the behaviours window. It only shows a thin line where the large picture should be in IE. It does work in all the other browsers.

Image swap glitch

Okay, I've got a glitch with an image swap. There are sopmething like a half a dozen pages in the site rebuild that have image swaps and none of the other have any problems. But this one has managed to find a glitch and likes it so much it won't let go.
I've got the usual table arangement (as in the Classroom in a Book chapter 10 lesson) with the base image in one cel and the links in the others. There are three images that swap out with the main one. I'm using the behavior of clicking on the link to swap the image, not a MouseOver. People are supposed to look at the images, and then if they feel like it they can put the base image back by clicking on that link.
No problem with the first image. No problem with the 2nd. No problem with restoring the original image.
But. No matter how many times I've relinked the 3rd image, clicking on it in a browser gives me a blnk browser page with a message claiming that the image does not exist. When I hit the back button to get back to the page, there is the image right where it is supposed to be. So clearly the code is finding it, but it's sending out a false alert first.
I am assuming that the glitch is in the code, but I don't know enough about code to know what I am supposed to be looking for to find it.
Any pointers?
J. Odell

I went back and hunted through it again and found the problem. Somehow the code was putting a '3' where there ought to have been a hashtag. No idea why it was doing that, but once I replaced it with a hashtag the problem went away.
I'd relinked it a half a dozen times, so it evidently really liked that glitch.
BTW, can you give me any pointers on how you adjust the spacing between paragraphs? two full lines is more than really needed to make the distinction between paragraphs. The version of CSS that GoLive 8 used recognized a setting for adding something like one and a half lines between them. But if that's still in there I don't know what they call it these days. I would assume that it would be in the Block settings along with the justification, but nothing in there looks right.

Is there a way to edit a library image and have it automatically change throughout my documents?

InDesign question:
I am changing an image in several books and thought creating a library image would be great in the future, that way all I'd have to do is click on the library image, make the changes and PRESTO all the images are updated in all the books.
However I am not seeing a way to edit the image in the library, so what is the point of using it.
Is there a way to just update the library image or should I just create the image in Illustrator and go from there?
I am using CS4

Does the file need to be created in Illustrator? I have some content elements that basically contain some text and boxes. So I am wondering is this still the best way? Sounds like I cannot create the library element in InDesign.
Also, I was told that another possibility is to create a page for that element, then place it in the InDesign file. Would that work as well? I basically have about 20 different design elements that I want to use in various documents. Since they would likely change it makes sense for me to have the capibility to edit the document once.

Image swap and IE7 in DW CS4

I have thumbnails 80px square and a div set at 600px square I select and name a loctor image and put in the div.
When I set up image swap all works fine in Safari, IE8 but in IE7 after the image has swapped, if I move the mouse over or near the large image the image disappears and I get a black 600px size square with a red X in it in the top LH corner, this stays untill I click the next thumbnail. Any help would be appriciated.William

Delete line 372 from...wait...move over a little bit so I can see better...uh oh. My crystal ball just went on the fritz again and I can't see your code from here.
Can you provide a link to the problem page?

Help building image swap in flash cs4?

Hello all,
I've been trying to research 'flash cs4 image swap' but most everything I find is related to dreamweaver, so I appreciate anyone's help to point me in the right direction.
I have a project in which I have an opening scene of a main image and 8 thumbnail buttons. This opening scene is pretty basic, as the thumbnails would link to a new scene or frame label (however I build it). This 2nd scene or instance in the timeline is where I would display another large image, and 6 new thumnail images that, upon rollover, would swap the large main image with the large version of the active thumbnail.
Basically I have a main 'menu' of category thumbnails that link to an instance in the timeline that displays the initial large image for that category, and allows the user to mouseover the other thumbnails to see the large images, and then click to go to a specific URL for more information.
The trouble I have with my rusty, limited AS knowledge is how to effeciently write the AS so that the image swap works. I quickly ran into a wall trying to acomplish this using a very OLD method that would require a LOT of jumping around the timeline. If there is ANYTHING out there that can help me figure out how to do this efficiently, I would very much appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance

that's really what I'm asking, is if there is any such AS to do this.... I would normally do it just using CSS & HTML, but I have to keep it all contained within one page, I can't click to a new page from the opening scene to show the sub category of graphics. I figured I could set the opening scene up easily with a goto frame label 'category 1'.... then at category one is where I need to figure out what to do to swap the images....
If I keep it very simple with no fade effects or anything, yes I could just jump to a frame and back, and so on.... Instead of animating all the different elements, is there a way to activate an instance of a mc, like a white to transparent fade, and just have that animate in place and out, chaning the images in a layer below it while it's in place? I'm really green to AS so I may be talking outta my ear on this,
your feedback is greatly appreciated.

i see! well, that's good to know. i didn't realize you could
do
transitions on image swaps (of course, i've rarely used them
so far).
and i just assumed the OP was actually trying to do a
slideshow, which
could still be the case i guess. i suppose he's covered
either way!

Help with Editable Regions and Image Swap

I need some assistance for a project I am working on, and I don't know a short way to describe. Hang with me, here it goes....
I am working with the sites 'Navigation' links. I want to use a MouseOver behavior so that the image swaps when moused over. I want the MousedOver image to remain when you are on that page. I can manually make this happen, but I am running into difficulty because I want the Navigation to be located in an un-editable region so when I add new pages, the entire site will update as I make changes to the template.
I don't know how to create this effect without manually swapping all the images via behaviors on each and every page, and when I need to do these edits, the region needs to be in an UnEditable region so that the template will update all the pages.
I guess the question is, how can I customize images from page to page in an Un-Editable region in a Template driven page?
Thanks.

Image swaps are clumsy for navigation because you have to re-craft your menus every time you edit your site. This gets very old in a hurry.
CSS styled menus are not only easier to maintain in DW they are web friendly for all devices -- especially Smartphones who may have images disabled to save on bandwidth charges.
DW comes with Spry Menus which you can customize with CSS
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/MenuBarSample.html
Additionally, there are some excellent DW extensions you can use to build professional looking CSS menus in seconds.

Image swapping with correct dimensions

Hi all,
Hovering over a row of thumbnails, I swap the full size photo following this code :
var photo = new Image();
photo.src = 'images/'+fileName; // parameter of the function
console.log(fileName+' L= '+photo.width+' H= '+photo.height);
sym.$('toile').attr({
      width: photo.width,
      height: photo.height,
      src: photo.src
The full size photo swaps, but retaining the dimensions of the first one (initially on the Edge stage).
Even more puzzling, as you can see in the following screen capture, sometimes I can get the correct photo.width and photo.height (even if it isn't correctly assigned to the 'toile' element), and sometimes those values are zero ! And I feel so lost that this seems random. Surely it is not and someone has an idea. Thank you.
Gil
PS : An idea just springing while writing. May be it has to do with loading delay, asking the width and height information before it is available ? Should I necessarily preload the images ?

So, preloading is part of the solution.
An associative array is used to store the twelve full size photos susceptible to be displayed when their thumbnail is hovered over :
var twelvePhotos = new Object();
Inside the loop that fills the row of thumbnails, each corresponding picture is also preloaded and pushed into the associative array :
var photo = new Image();
photo.src = 'images/'+series+index+'.jpg';
twelvePhotos[index] = photo;
Now the width and height are available and always traced by console.log() :
var photo = twelvePhotos[index];
console.log(fileName+' L= '+photo.width+' H= '+photo.height);
The image swap, but width and height still remain the same. I tried in vain :
sym.$('toile').attr({
      'width': photo.width,
      'height': photo.height,
      'src': photo.src
sym.$('toile').attr('width', photo.width);
sym.$('toile').attr('height', photo.height);
sym.$('toile').attr('src', photo.src);
sym.$('toile').attr('width', parseInt(photo.width));
sym.$('toile').attr('height', parseInt(photo.height));
sym.$('toile').attr('src', photo.src);
Clearly, I miss the good syntax. Anyone sees my mistake ?

HELP! Multiple Image swap restore problem

Hey, Im interested in learning how to perform a multiple image swap restore.
I've made a central image swap, and I want to make a few others happen on the same 'mouseover'. All done, simple. However, only the last image swap will 'restore' to the original image, and all the rest stay the same. I've ticked 'restore on mouseover' on all of the behaviours, but its so frustrating - please help me.

This is actually really easy. Setup one swap image, then double click swap image in behaviours. The asterix indicates what image is being swapped but you can add more then one. So simply select the second image you want to change at this point and another asterix will appear. Muiltiple swap actions can be applied using one swap image command.

Image swap from a ul

Hi,
please see my link http://www.denotestationery.com/denote_localroot1/weddingvintage.html
I am trying to achieve an image swap in the stationerycontainer div that houses the invite image, by rolling over each list item (stationeryinfo ul down the side of the image), as the user rolls over the stationeryinfo ul, the image in the stationerycontainer div will change accordingly.
Is there a way to achieve this by just using the html in the stationeryinfo ul & without the use of images in that list? I basically want it to look like the sidebar nav when you roll over it but I don't need the stationery info list to link to anything.
I hope I am making sense!

Hi, yes, well kind of, I don't need the list to link to anything, it's purely to show the user what each design peice looks like by rolling over the list. I have done this before, but with the use of the list as images rather than html. But I want to be able to allow the html to do it instead & as I am a newbie the only way I have found to do it is by adding a link to the code. and then linking is straight back to the same page. Like below. I hope I am making sense.
Weddingvintage.html is the page the user will be on.
<li><a href="weddingvintage.html" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('vintageday','','denoteWebimages/gallery_chrysanth.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()">Day invitation</a></li>
Is there another attribute rather than the a href that will work with the swap image?
Thanks in advance

Multiple image swap behaviours for complex rollover affects?

’m working on a site where there is ‘menu’
style bar which when you hover over with the cursor, needs to make
a large image swap in the body of the page. This would be simple
enough, but the area that changes is made up of a number of smaller
images that need to work as rollover images individually.
I could do all of this manually with normal swap image
behaviours, so that each of the small images behave as roll-over
buttons individually. And also so that they all change at the same
time when you hover over the menu style bar.
This is obviously quite a slow way of working and I will need
to go through it every time a change is made. Is there a better
way?
Thanks

I've just previewed this site in firefox and it looks fine,
even though it look wrong in dreamweaver!
I then previewed it in IE and it everything has gone all over
the place (i think its ignoring the clear left rule). Is there a
general way this is normally done? I've been watching a number of
different video tutorials so i'm quite sure i'm doing things by the
book.

Why does the library image look much better than develop image?

I'm noticing a huge difference in IQ even after post processing between the library image and the develop image within Lightroom 2.1 itself. Any reason why? Thanks.

In what way? The Library image is just a rendering of the Develop image. In Develop, the sharpening and noise reduction are only applied at the 1:1 view to speed it up and to not lie to you (which it would if shown at lower magnification).

Why don't my library images show up in the develop mode? There is a big blue space with an X through it.

Why don't my library images show up in the develop module? There is a big blue space with an X through it.

Disable GPU acceleration in your Lightroom preferences.
