Need to preload image directory

I want to be able to have the preloader check the folder
contents before loading, not just image by image. I was hoping that
someone could help by editing my source file :)
Source files
download ZIP

Native Flash cannot see the local or remote drive folder
contents.
You can on a remote server have a server script do that and
pass the information to Flash to process.
You can do that on a local set-up with a third party or
custom coded wrapper around the Flash player.
For others who are willing to look through the many objects
to locate the "source code" look in the library and the Quick
Galllery MovieClip frame 1.

Need help preloading images

I have a swf loading pictures from an XML into a movieclip on
stage, but the onEnterFrame fucntion doesn't seem to shoot, this
should be simple. Help anyone?

you lose your onEnterFrame method because it's applied to a
loadMovie() target. to remedy, either wait until loading is
complete before assigning methods to the load target or load into a
child movieclip and assign methods to the parent.

Preload image alternative

I used to use DW preload images behavior (rarely):
<body onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/progress.gif')">
but I just realized that the following technique is much
better (and does not require js):
<body>
<img src="images/progress.gif" style="display:none;">
Am I right? Or am I missing something...

The load time for either option would be the same.

This is complete misinformation, really.

Dreamweaver cs4, site management does not recognize image directory

I have recently downloaded trial version. When I was trying to set up local site with site management tool, it somehow keep failing to recognize the image folder within. So I go to advance setting of edit and assign local root folder C:\favdoo\MyTheme\
then I try to assign Default image folder which IS in the MyTheme folder, it dow not show up in the browser and even if I manually type in, gives me error message "there are not image file". I have checked rebooted, clear cache, but still does not recognize image folder. ????? Can anyone please help? It drives me crazy before I even start using dreamweaver.

got it, needed to create images directory to associate with actual file......how I supposed to know that?

Windows 8.1 and Lenovo preloaded image - update to be available?

Hi,
I work for an organisation that buys a fair few Lenovo machines. We get them with whatever OS they are bundled with at the time and then install our own image. However, recent Lenovo machines seem to have had significant optimisations which can't be reinstated if you do a clean install, so we have been using the preloaded OS image as a base an deploying our applications on top.
Windows 8.1 looks like it may become suitable for wider use here, so I am wondering if an optimized Windows 8.1 preload will start to ship with Lenovo machines soon? And if the preload image might be available for customers who have a Windows 8 machine, to allow for a clean install without losing all the optimisations, so that we don't have to wait for the first Win8.1 machine to be delivered.
Thanks,
Richard

I think it's safe to say you'll start seeing Windows 8.1 preloaded system from Lenovo as soon as Windows 8.1 becomes generally available. And I think Microsoft has said this will happen sometime in October.
However Lenovo will not provide Windows 8.1 preloads for existing systems such as T430, W530, X230, etc. These systems will soon go end-of-life with the coming Haswell refresh. The Haswell systems will get Windows 8.1 preloads, but existing Ivy Bridge systems will not.
Having said that, I really don't understand what you mean about "significant optimisations which can't be reinstated if you do a clean install". Off the top of my head I can't think of anything that is preloaded that isn't available for download on our support website, except for some 3rd-party trial software like Norton, MS Office, and Absolute. Is there anything specific that you need help with recreating/reinstalling in your own image?

How to get the full image directory when i upload the image to web page???

hai, how to get the full image directory when i upload the image to web page???
here is the example:
<form action="uploadfile.jsp" method="post">
image<input type="file" name="image" />
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
<%
String s=request.getParameter("image");
%>
<%=s%>
</form>
i upload the image from C:\image\center.gif. i use request.getParameter just can get the image name like "center.gif". Can anybody help me how to get the full path name. Thanks a lot..

There is no need to get the path. It is also fairly pointless as the server cannot access the client's local file system.
Carefully read this article how you can upload files the right way: http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/11/multipartfilter.html

Where is the virtual images directory for an ORACLEXE HTMLDB installation?

Hi,
I've already got a standalone installation of HTMLDB which has an /images/ directory on my file server containing all gifs/themes/templates/css files etc. I've created an application that I'm going to use for my business and I've changed some of the underlying giff's and css files.
On another machine I've just installed Oracle Express Edition (as it's free for commercial use) which has an integrated HTMLDB environment, that is the same as the standalone one as far as I can tell, except that it does not appear to have an /images/ directory stored on the file system??
I've done a complete search and nothing is found. If I type http://127.0.0.1:8080/i/ into my web browser all the files and directories are displayed! Does any one know the location of these files or how the HTTP listener is translating /i/?
I need to mod these existing files in order to correctly display my business application from my other standalone installation of htmldb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How to specify image directory in Tomcat servlet?

The following will display the counter.png image stored in my Tomcat webapps/ROOT/images directory (even from a servlet at webapps/counters):outText.println("<IMG SRC=\"/images/counter.png\">");but what's the magical incantation to get at webapps/counters/images/counter.png... which is where I want to create the things (and am successfully doing so- I just can't get them to display!)?
Tomcat comes with some servlet webapps/examples that display "navigation" graphics from the webapps/examples/images directory, but the example code doesn't include the navigation bits!)outText.println("<IMG SRC=\"/counter/images/counter.png\">");and other seemingly obvious variations do not work.

So, it appears the "current directory" is webapps/ROOT. If you want to get at webapps, you need the parent of the current directory, which is denoted by "..". Therefore, to get at webapps/counters/images/counter.png, you need "../counters/images/counter.png".

I need a preloader for my website

Hi Experts.
Can someone point me to good tutorials and/or instruction videos that solve the following problem?
I am building a website that will have many images and several movies created in my CAD software as ".avi" files, then re-saved as Quicktime ".mov" files. The largest movie is 60.8KB. They will be located on more than one page on the site.
Here's a link to the site in progress: http://www.integra-living.com/rht
I need a preloader that runs automatically as my site splash page opens, and loads all that stuff while displaying a progress indicator of some sort.
I also need tips on whether the best strategy is to use CSS, Action Script, or some other coding that will work for most browsers and does not subvert optimization or do other mysterious bad things.
Thanks very much for any help.
Richard Talbott

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, you don't need a preloaded for embed movies. The page will load without any delay. It's not until the user chooses to play a movie will it begin downloading / streaming it from the server. Even if the video is a large file, internet users are use to this type of scenario where they choose to play a movie, ala youtube and others, that if their connections are slow there may be delays in video playback. With all that said, I have seen and used page loaders where visitors will be expecting to wait a while for a result to happen, I just don't think this scenario warrants it.

See: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html
The best practice is to access the repository through WebDAV as Dietmar explains, and to create your own folder(s) for custom scripts and images, rather than mixing stuff up with Oracle content in <tt>/i/</tt> that may need to be overwritten during an upgrade.

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

I don't do a lot of dragging to custom arrange my images. But the custom order is right at the bottom of the list of sort orders on my computer.
Added later: But don't worry about the custom order. It doesn't make any difference on my system. Are you sure you are dragging the image itself, and not the border around the image?

Need Help With Image Gallery

Hey all, I need a simple image gallery to load when you click a button. I've tried shadowbox but have had absolutely zero luck. I'm not sure how to load it from a flash file and I know there is work that has to be done outside of flash like in the root folder. All I need is for a simple image gallery, nothing fancy, to open when I hit a button. If anyone could explain how to use shadowbox in lamens terms or knows how to easily script a gallery that would be amazing.

What script version is your target? AS2 or AS3

How to hide image directory from search engines?

Hi,
This is more an SEO question than DW but I can't think who else to ask and I suspect this crowd will know the answer...
I feel like this is a new thing....my image directory is showing up in google for a site that isn't even live yet. The index page is just an image. But I've got dozens of pages on my server and hundreds of photos in an image directory for the images on those dozens of pages. But the current temporary, static index page doesn't have any links to the interior pages yet. I dont remember ever having this happen where (1) the pages that are on my server are being indexed even though there isn't an index page with links to it and (2) I've never seen my image directory show up on Google! I sure don't want that. It's all my original psd files with layers etc.
Is this a "no follow" kind of issue? Is this a new issues? How do I prevent my image directory from showing up in google? It was bizarre...I did a search in google for a term and it brought up my own image directory with an image named that name!! I almost had a heart attack.
Anyone have a favorite SEO forum to post this in as well?
Any help appreciated.
Laura

As always, you are such a reliable source of help! :-)
That robots.txt you mentioned...do what with that? I mean, how does that tell it "dont index the images"? For that matter, there are tons of pages on the server I don't want being indexed yet either because they are half baked for later development.
Thanks!
Create the file, and upload it to the root directory. It's as simple as that. But you'll have to read the details on the google hits to see the exact syntax of the exclusions.
Now - here's why this is happening....
Somewhere, google has found a link to this URL -
http://bluehippotravel.com/photos/destinations/TH/
The bluehippotravel host has NOT disabled directory browsing. When you browse to that URL, instead of getting a FORBIDDEN message like you should, you get a page listing the contents of that directory. Google is indexing that page. Ask your host to turn off directory browsing for that folder.
