Need ideas on alt image for swf

Hi guys,
I made a big mistake. I've built a website which uses a large, single button bar swf with multiple buttons for navigation. Now I'm getting reports from some users that the "site doesn't work" or they can't "use it right" - which means that I've got users out there who don't understand flash player, don't have it, or use IE9. Maybe one or two who use an ipad but I'm doubting that's my biggest problem.
It's for a small town city council election, so there's not a whole lot riding on it from that point of view, but I made it and I want it to be impressive. Moreover, I don't want to look like the doofus I feel like.
There are seven buttons, in one swf in one div.
So, I want to build something different, or replace something... I don't know, I'm an illustrator picking up web design.
My options as I see them:
A) Leave it as it is, and place in a series of jpegs (seven of them) which I figure will just stack up on top of each other. So, put seven jpegs in as alts for one swf. Make them linkable.
Question one: is this possible? Question two: can a jpeg be an alt, or a link for that matter? Question three: if this is feasible, do I have my positioning correct with this highlight below?
<div class="button_bar">

B) Go back to scratch and make seven new buttons. Subdiv seven times. Use jpegs as each alt, as a link.
Questions: same as above, basically. I have all twenty one images for the buttons already made, and I only have eight pages to fix if I go this route.
C) Leave it as it is, and place in a series of text links.
D) Keep trying to find a flash detector which actually works for me and ignore the rest of it. I haven't found one that works so I've just put a small "if you can't use the site you need flash player" line under my main container on the front page with a link to adobe. It completely ignores the IE9 and Ipad crowd, but I don't know how to fix that right now.
E) Put in a series of small text nav links under the main image where I had planned to link to my own site with credits. But hey, I'm going on two months of completely ignoring my own site to do this one, so why not?
That's all I can think of. My main priority is that I want it to look outstanding (even on an ipad), but I think functionality is really key here, and more important. I've been chasing tutorials and discussions for four days now and I'm stuck in a rut. I'm afraid to commit to doing the button work because I don't understand my options well, and I haven't found the clarity I need to figure it out.

Some of the walkthroughs are telling me the javascript file is in the same folder, some of them are saying to put it in my scripts folder... one even says it needs to be in the folder with the images...
So I place the basically unaltered javascript file into (I assume is correct location) scripts folder, I use the small script prompt line in the head, I remove my swf info which Dreamweaver built me, and put in the info that swfobject generator gave me:

HP Mini 1199eo - Need recovery win XP image for my HP mini

Hi, I have bought a new HP mini 1199eo some time ago and it will not start up. And need to recover the windows XP operating system. But it did not came with any CD.
Is it possible to download an HP windows XP image anywere or can you, HP, send me a CD that I can use on an external cd-drive?
Best regards,
Morten
This question was solved.

Hi:
If HP doesn't have recovery disks for your PC, then you can see if this place does for anywhere, but the USA/Canada

Alt text for photos not appearing

Hi,
I tagged a large document in InDesign (because Acrobat Pro's feature is too unpredictable).
I assigned alt text to all the photos, but when I hover my cursor over them while viewing the
exported PDF, only some are showing up.
It turns out that large photos that I have on chapter divider pages are the only ones
not showing their alt text, even though they are set up in InDesign structure view the
same way as all other photos.
Can anyone think of a reason why this is happening? The only thing I can think of
that's different about them is that they originally are from a master page. But because
each photo is unique, they've already been disconnected from the original master page.
Thanks,
Jane

I just figured out that those photos had been set to a blending mode of Multiply
because an earlier iteration of the design used transparency. But to the eye, they
look like normal photos, so I didn't realize they were set to Multiply.
This solved the problem but it's not heartening news. What if my graphic legitimately
did have a blending mode set? What would my workaround be if I needed to set Alt Text
for those images?

Background image for PanelDashboard

Hi ,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.7.
I have one PanelDashboard in my page I need show one background image for that Dash Board.
The image is very small so It showing multiple times entirely occupy the page.So I I try with below CSS codes but now the image is not showing.
I want to show the image only once and the also exact place.
+.backgroundImage+
+{+
position: absolute;
background-image: url("../img/sampleImage.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
z-index: 1;
margin: 0.0pt ;
+}+
Thanks,
Arun D.

Hi,
actually I would use skinning for this and reference the panel dashboard skin selector. You also need to set the panelBoxes contained in the dash board to have opaque background as otherwise they will overlay your background image

Upsizing Images For Print Via Aperture

Hello
What is Aperture like for upsizing an image for printing greater than 16x11"? I need to output an image for print 36x24". Has anyone done this and if so, what were the results like? Should it be done using other third party software(Photoshop)?
The image is full resolution from a 12MP camera.
Thanks

I print pretty big images (up to 60 inches by 36 inches - > 1gb) and I use Photozoom to upsize and then print in PS.
My workflow is:-
1. Import and basic wok in Ap
2. Specialist work in PS - save back to Ap
3. Export as TIF and upsize in Photozoom
4. Save big image outside Ap (smaller, origimal image - my negative - is still in Ap)
5. Open big image in PS - reduxe noise, sharpen etc amd print
6. Save back to HD or delete - I always have 'negative' in Ap
Hope it helps....

How to pixelate an image for viewing from afar?

Hi
I need to pixelate an image for an outdoor poster site, so that when viewed up close it is very distorted and all the viewer can really make out are large squares; as the viewer moves away the image becomes clearer, so that from a distance the actual subject matter becomes clear. Something like the Marilyn Monroe artwork attached...
I would appreciate any step by step advice on how I might do this?
Thanks in advance guys.
Regards
Tony

Hi,
As mentioned above you can use the mosaic option.
Here is a tutorial that can expand this subject that I found online.

Need Ideas for Minimalist Website and Image Gallery

I am looking for ideas for creating a minimalist online image gallery/portfolio? I want to either use html for the site and then flash for the portfolio images or some other method. I want to click on the thumbnails and then a large image will open.
Should I use Flash, Dreamweaver, Would it be easier to load the images dynamically to a folder. Does anyone have an example they could show me. Thanks.

I second Mahendra's suggestion for JAlbum Excellent product! Just so you know, you don't need to use their image hosting. Simply download the software and install it on your PC. The beauty of JAlbum is that it generates thumbnails and HTML pages for you from your folder of images. Lots of different Skins available. CSS can be customized. And you can't beat the price.
Minimalism is nice but on the web, if you don't have some real text in the HTML markup you're essentially invisible to search engines, language translators and web assisting technologies like screen readers. I realize this is a portfolio, but you want to maintain some degree of visibility so people can find you. For this reason, Flash sites don't do well. HTML is preferred.
Good luck with your project,

The error that I am getting is this "Time Machine can't use the disk image because it can't be written to." Any ideas on the fix for this? When I go to the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro shows that it is locked, I think I did something wrong, but can't figure how to unlock it to see if that fixes it.

As far as we know, Time Machine cannot write to a disk image. It needs to write directly to the Time Capsule disk.

Need ideas and stuff for a new laptop or netbook.

Need ideas. I'm lookin to buy a new laptop soon. Next couple months. I want something that runs good, runs fast, doesn't have a lot of junk installed on it and something below $700 dollars (may pay more...just depends). Any brands that are good? I thought maybe getting a netbook because I really just need some small storage and an awesome internet. Would a netbook be good for that? I use verizon wireless on my laptop right now but I'm going to switch to AT&T soon.

In todays world of Net Books, 250 GB and 2 gb configurations are becoming standard. However, a majority of the Net Books out there still have the standard 1gb and 160gb hard drive configurations. You can upgrade the hard drives and memory in the newer Acer Netbooks now because of the redesign the did to the casing. The 8.9 inch net books Acer came out with could not allow the hardware upgrades because of their initial proprietary casing design. But with hacking and warranty voiding someone did it.
The bare minimum price you can expect to pay for a Net Book is $299 on average for the majority specs I posted. For better specs you will pay more for them.
Please always buy an optical drive with a Netbook or purchase a $399 laptop in the end for better flexibility.

Do I need to export multiple sizes for all standard print sizes? i.e.Say I crop the image in LR to 6'5" x 9' to fit within an 11" x 14" (overall) mat of a framed print.. Now let's say I want to reprint that same image in a 12" x 16" size ... to fit within

Do I need to export multiple sizes for all standard print sizes? i.e.Say I crop the image in LR to 6'5" x 9' to fit within an 11" x 14" (overall) mat of a framed print.. Now let's say I want to reprint that same image in a 12" x 16" size ... to fit within a mat of with overall size of 20" x 24"? Or will the 1st export be "locked" at 6.5" X 9" (proportionately)?

So, for the first one Export it cropped to 6.5 x 9 - and in the Export Dialog box there is a capability to rename the file for exported output - which would allow you to add something like the crop or intention to the base name of the file. e.g. for _IMG0846.nef - setup the output filename to _IMG0846-65x9 for 11x14.jpg and output it at, say 300 or 360 dpi. So, it has a unique name and purpose in your output folder.
For best results, now, re-crop the picture in LR - just open the crop [R] dialog again, reframe the image to the new ratio, 12x16 and Export again - with an adjustment to the filename. e.g. _IMG0846-12x16 for 20x24.jpg
So, now you have two clearly identified image files in your output area and you can provide those to whomever is printing for you, etc. Discard them when you're done since you always have the original to return to to re-frame again as necessary.
This way you get output sharpening and resolution (in pixels) optimized for your output print size. Maybe not super important for smallish prints-but more important for larger ones. Output at 100 quality.

Need to square various images - some tall, others wide - ideas?

I have several thousand images. They vary in size and some are tall and others wide.
I need to have all images square. Not wanting to lose resolution or have smaller images expanded and look bad.
How can I make all of my images square? Which if any of your programs would do that in a batch process?
examples:
An image 200 x 400 end up 400 x 400
an image 800 x 600 end up 800 x 800
and so on. Or if anything make them all 600 x 600 wand resize down large images or give white space around smaller images.
Which program if any will do this?
thanks,
Dave

Mass resizing tutorial
So you're wanting uniform size? You can use Image Processor script along with an action to make them all square in 1 simple click of the Run button (after you apply the right settings, of course.) Yes, all however many thousand images you have! We want to get this done in 1 swoop, which is possible, especially since all the images are ending up being the same size. I'm going to hold anyone's hand and do this step by step for anyone who has minimal to expert experience in photoshop. This explanation is very simple to follow.
1: Preparation to make them square
Heres the first step for the canvas size to be made uniform and square-y with a simple action. If you don't want square-y but still want uniform, skip this step. Let's say you want to make those thousands of pictures all 600 x 600 pixels. This is the preparation step. Make a new blank document 400 x 400 pixels. Make a new action, and name it Canvas Resize, and hit the record buton to start recording your actions. Change the canvas size to 600 x 600 pixels, and after you do that, stop the action recording. Close the document.
2: Organize so PhotoShop can process all your photos in 1 swoop
So we want to make everything 600 x 600. I'm using CS4, but CS3 and CS2 (and probably older versions of PS) all have a feature called Image Processor. This is the time to consolidate all the images you want to process into 1 main folder for an easy 1 click operation. Make two folders on your desktop and label one Pictures and the other Processed. You can either toss all your picture files which you want to process into the Pictures folder for a giant mess, or if you're organized, toss a bunch of organized folders into the Pictures folder, and you can keep your folder organization automatically. I'd recomming copying (NOT moving your pictures, COPYING) and organizing your pictures to be processed in the Pictures folder so that you don't potentially ruin your current organization of your photo archive. I've made my messes before moving files around and trying to figure out where I pulled them from.
3: Now that we're organized:
After you've consolidated your files, we will use photoshops Image Processor feature. First, click on File -> Go to Scripts -> Click Image Processor. A dialogue box will pop up with a bunch of options. Section 1 (section numbers are on the left) is "Select Images To Process." Click the Select Folder button and find the Pictures folder on the desktop with your images in it, and select the folder. Click OK. If your images are in multiple sub-folders inside the Pictures folder, and you want to process everything in each folder, check the Include Sub-Folders box so itll process everything inside. In section 2 of the Image Processor, "Select the Location to Save Processed Images," select where your batch of images is going to be saved. Select the Processed folder for this. If you have your photos organized in a sub-folder folder structure, and want to keep that organization, check the "Keep folder structure" box so it will structure your folders inside the Processed folder the same way it was structured inside the Pictures folder. Now for the file type. Choose whichever file type you want to save your photos as. Check "Resize to fit", and in the resolutions for width and height, put the same number in both. This will NOT stretch the images, but it will take whichever dimension is larger and scale it your specified number, and keep the aspect ratio the same! For example, say you have an 1800 x 1200 image, which is a 3:2 aspect ratio. If you type 1200 x 1200 in the dimensions, wether vertical or horizontal, it will resize the long dimension of the image to 1200, and the shorter to 800 and keep the 3:2 ratio. Cool, huh? This makes it painfully easy to do thousands of pictures overnight if you want them the same maximum dimension wether vertical or horizontal.
Now for the magic:
In section 4, "Preferences" in the Image Processor, you can have PS apply actions to pictures after they've been resized. Ain't that fancy? Check the Run Action box, and select the Canvas Resize action we created earlier. Since we created an action that changes the canvas size to 600 x 600 pixels, the action of making it square will be done all in 1 shot! Any picture 600 x ? will be made into 600 x 600 with whatever color you chose your background to be in recording your action. Now, click the Run button, and your computer will angrily churn all your images into perfect 600 x 600 pixel squares. All numbers I used were for expample only. Pick whatever number you want. If you want 3000 x 3000 squares, punch in 3000 x 3000, make the canvas resize action for it, and go for it!
Anyone who reads this and tries it, let me know how easy or difficult it was to use this tutorial for you. This method is how I organize the CDs or DVDs which I submit to register my photos to the US Copyright office. I generally make a batch of 800PX JPEGs, images out of all the photos I selected to copyright, burn em, and I'm done within the hour. For my first copyright CD, I made a copyright CD for registration in less than an hour for 4 years of my photographic work.
And P.S.: Upsizing always dulls or pixelates a photo unless you're going to take the time and enlarge each one with enlarging software, and that's a whole new batch of processing in its own. And.. yes, I wrote this whole tutorial just for this post, lol. I enjoy teaching technical knowledge. Hope this helps and whoever reads this enjoys it!

Large alt text for pdf images

I'm trying to include alt text for my pdf images but the text is over the character limit. Is there any way to include longer alt text (for example through the use of an external file and a longdesc tag) in a pdf, or am I basically stuck with the character limit no matter what I do?

Does anybody at Mozilla read this or is it just for venting frustrations?
Alt-text is NOT just for when the image can't be displayed. For instance, in my work I use a particular kind of colour palette. It used to be that when I hovered over the little square showing the colour, that the colour number would appear. It's the ONLY way to know what colour you're dealing with, in this case.
This used to be available in Firefox, but suddently it disappeared. This is forcing me to use Safari, which has this feature. But I prefer to work with Firefox.
This is very frustrating!!!

Do I need to resize images for Keynote?

Do I need to resize images for Keynote? I have images in a variety of sizes and wonder if there is a minumum or maximum size recommended.
Thank you!
B

All depends on what the end product is; a slide show on a laptop or projected 20 feet wide in a theatre. For best performance, images should be created to match the document size in; Inspector > Document > Slide size.
The slide size should as a minimum match the screen resolution of the Mac in;
system preferences > displays. The higher the number of pixels the better the quality.
However, many images are supplied that are much smaller than are required, resulting in them being enlaged beyond there best.
