One linked image.

Hello, im pretty new in flash buisness and im trying to make a website based on flash.
and im trying to link flash to XML.
And here is my problem.. I have a layer called "Pages", and im working in one of the pages.
I made a timeline, which also had few more pages (5 to be exact).
I want to load 1 linked image (as in you click on the image and then load something) on each of the 5 layer based on XML File, and when its clicked it loads on a new page in the "MAIN" site. If thats possible.
How would I make that happen?
Been google-ing and i can only find some Xtreme photo gallerys. Was hoping it wouldnt be 2 much coding.
Ps. Sry if my english is bad :Z

Yeah, i want to have 5 images in my fla that i can click on.
And i want them to load another SWF file... in Marked box in the "main pages". (as in i have my menu still on top and blabla)
But i want it to be from the XML so its easy to change which image of the swf u can click to load the right swf.

Creating multiple links from one map image in Flash CS4

I have been tasked with creating multiple links from one map image using flash. Each link would go to the main website page with that location. I assume I could create a button for each location on the map but not having a lot of experience any help / tutorial you know of would be super helpful.. Thanks! Not looking for someone to work me thru it but a little guidance would be great!

If I was to answer the problem, I would be giving you what you asked not to be given... the solution. So I'll suggest that you start by researching the getURL() function. That is what AS2 uses for opening web pages.
As for coding a button, I'll recommend the following article for you... it will explain the proper approach to coding a button, which will give you an advantage over others who don't follow it, but instead use the way the article says not to.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/as_bestpractices_04.html
Google is one of the best resources available for learning how to do things with Flash--it's the first place I go when I have a wondering. In general, if you type in the right keywords, you get fairly good search results. In your case, combinations of "AS2", "button", "getURL", "tutorial" would probably work well.

Compile LINK image into one folder

Hola peeps,
Normally what i did after client approved Final Artwork i have to open one by one by click option + double clik the link image. is there any command or action that i dont know off to compile all the LINK file by one click and save it in one folder? just wondering.
thanks!

If its just the linked files you are after then you could try…
http://ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4276&sid=c7359ef26b3f3d84b3abab954942083e
After selecting a file an *.ai and running just drag the collection contents to where ever to copy…
It don't do much but thats why it cost nothing…
I use it more for making quick bridge references to previous artwork links but it may cover this too…

Can't change a linked image???

I have a lot left to learn in Dreamweaver but linking images I've done alot, I hope someone can help me on what I'm doing wrong. The linked image won't let me change links. Here is the home page http://kmmcement.com/. The bottom right picture under click to view slideshow is linked to slideshow.html. I changed the slideshow and named the new one ss.html. When I right click the picture and choose Change Link and select my new ss.html, it does not change it in the code. I tried manually to change it in the code and publish, but the new page won't load up (although when I preview the page, it loads fine.)
The only thing I've done differently on this site is that I finally learned to get the bottom navigation links to work without looking jumpy and jittery when clicking or rolling over them, by going to Modify - Page Properties and choosing links and set them up there (basic that I should've learned awhile ago). I didn't do the navigation bar until last, so would that have anything to do with not being able to change the link? If so, then how can I change it to where only the bottom navigation has it's own style as I'm sure there's going to be alot more links I'm going to be adding.
Thank you in advance for any help. (By the way, I'm using Dreamweaver CS3)

Starting on line 215 of your code, you have this:
<tr>
<td height="338"><div align="center">
<p class="style11">CLICK TO VIEW SLIDESHOW!</p>
<p><a href="slideshow.html"><img
src="images/slideshowpic.JPG" width="347" height="223"
border="0"/></a></p>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
Try changing it to this:
<tr>
<td height="338" style="text-align:center">
<p class="style11"><a href="ss.html">CLICK TO VIEW SLIDESHOW!</a></p>
<p><a href="ss.html"><img src="images/slideshowpic.JPG" width="347" height="223" border="0"/></a></p>
</td>
</tr>
Save. Upload page to server along with ss.html page. Hit refresh in your browser.

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, navi and linked images are broken.

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, <navi> and linked images are broken.
The data of CS5 was created at another PC. I installed Cloud version into two different PC. One has had the site data since dreamweaver CS5 and it works correct in Cloud version. Another PC got the site data from remote server and it doesn't work correct. <navi> and linked image are broken.

Another PC got the site data from remote server and it doesn't work correct. <navi> and linked image are broken.
This implies your site is not properly defined in DW. Go to Site > Manage Sites.
Or simply go to your other installation of DW and export the site definition file from Manage Sites.
Save it to a flash stick or other removable drive. Then import the STE file into your 2nd installation of DW.

Exporting linked images with overlays

Hi,
I'm using InDesign CS5.5 on OS X Lion.
I have linked images in my InDesign document that I want to export as JPG and maintain the original file naming scheme. That part is easy (export as HTML, look in the images folder; export as ePUB, look in the images folder of the archive; etc.). But what I'm struggling with is when there are overlays added in InDesign. Some examples of overlays: part labels (e.g., "a", "b", "c"), text labels, arrows, lines, etc. The only way I've found to export the overlays is to do this:
-Group the placed image and overlay items together
-Apply Object Export Options to the grouped item such that Custom Rasterization is checked
-Export via one of the options (e.g., HTML, ePUB)
I get one image per group, which is what I want. The problem is that the filename for that image is now a random number. What I really need is the filename for the original image to be used.
I've also tried exporting to other formats, e.g., PDF (and using the extract all image options) but that doesn't preserve the overlays in the extracted images (which makes sense since the PDF sees the letters as text).
I figure to do this I have to write a script. So before I embark on that quest, I was hoping to get opinions on whether a) such a script is possible and b) whether there is a better way. For specific workflow considerations, moving the adding of these overlays to the images outside of InDesign (e.g., via Photoshop) is not an option.
I envision a script that does the following:
-Set custom rasterization on every grouped object
-Export all grouped objects and other linked images as JPG (with certain settings)
-The exported images for the links would preserve the original filename (adding "_fmt" like InDD does now would be okay) and for the grouped items it would use the filename of the linked image that is part of the group (and fallback to a random number if there is no such image). In the case that the filename could not be specified, then embed the original filename of the linked image in the group
Obviously, if a script could also do the grouping of objects (e.g., finding a linked image, checking to see if there is anything on top of it, grouping it all together), then that would be even better, but I'm not holding my breath. :-)
Thanks,
Steve

This is where the Adobe DNG could shine.
http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/index.html
Worth the read ... this can save the changes that one
makes.
DNG does NOT help in this case.
There is a huge misunderstanding that this is part of what DNG can or should do.
But if you think about it, what good are the adjustments being stored in DNG if you have to use a particular program to open it anyway?
Think about Aperture's Edge Sharpen for a second. Lets say you store that value in a DNG. Fine, what other program is going to able to reproduce that result EXACTLY to how you were previewing it at 100% on your monitor?
Lighroom is trying to do something along these lines by passing editing commands off to Bridge through DNG. But here you run into another problem - it constrains what editing any one program can do. If Lightroom is limited to only ever having editing commands that are the same as what Bridge offers, and no other program on earth supports them, then what have you really accomplished? Will unknown editing commands simply be dropped without warning?
That's why I think simply exporting projects, which hold master images alongside sidecar files (very like XMP) that describe edits are about as good as you are going to get. If you want to truly preserve editing work and you care about quality, nothing beats a TIFF file where 100% of the pixels are exactly as you reviewed them during editing. I personally trust Aperture enough to back up master images along with edits, and am fine with that.

Repeating XML content from db and linked images

I'm using XML to flow content from a database into an ID CS2 pub. There will be an .ai file associated with each record which will be placed into a tagged inline frame in each repeating element. I would like to store the .ai files in their own directory and have a field in the database that references the path to each specific file for each particular record.
So...do I simply need to put a placeholder image in the layout and tag the path to the link with the same name as the db field referencing the image path? How do I tag the path to the linked image?
On a related note, I would also to include a symbol with certain records (there's a field in the db that's a "yes-no" checkbox--if this box is checked for any record, I would like the symbol to appear on the page with that record).
Hope I'm being clear here.
Thanks for the help.

Hello bshannon,
Thanks for your answer, I tried your suggestion but when I use URLDataSource I get the error message http 500 (in my original post I said that using URLDataSource the mail was sent but without the image... my mistake, I was getting this same error). I traced the error and I found that it is caused by a null pointer exception... let me explain
This is the code for the jsp that returns the image:
4        <jsp:useBean id="coverImage" class="com.mqm.struts.getImageAction" scope="session" />
5       <%
6           // Desired size of the image to return
7           int heigth = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("heigth"));
8          int width = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("width"));
9
10          // Each item can have up to 6 images (ordered by id), this indicates wich of one we have to return
11            int imageIndex = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("imageIndex"));
12        byte[] imgData = coverImage.getItemImageAction(request.getParameter("itemId"), request,heigth, width, imageIndex );
13        response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
14        OutputStream o = response.getOutputStream();
15         o.write(imgData);
16         o.flush();
17         out.clearBuffer();
18         o.close();
        %> getImageAction is my DAO class that actually reads the image data from the DB, when I use this 'getImage.jsp' inside any other jsp in the app it works, but when used as described in the first post the request parameter in the line 12 doesn't have the session info, apparently creates a new session or something and since I use information in the session to create the DAO factory I can't connect to the DB and get this error..
pls tell me if I explained my self or I'm just talking non sense

Dropdown list to change image field linked image?

Hello,
I am quite new in Designer but I have to complete a job and I don't find the solution.
I try to update on a form an image field using the value of a dropdown box and a "if" script.
I use linked images (not embedded ones) and try using a script calling the image Field. value. image. href property.
The property is well updated as export to xml displays well the new href value but the image is not displayed as something was missing to activate it.
form1.#subform[0].ImageField1::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
if (UN_DropDownList == "3373") then ImageField1.value.image.href = ".\Images\UN3373.png"
endif
Rather simple (don't laugh at it) but it doesn't work.
I found solutions for embedded images via visible/hidden by dropdown list (not yet tested) as these ones. I give them below for reference (if some other users are interested)
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/683215
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2187604
http://acrobat.timhuff.net/?p=5
But not for linked images (path or URL). By the way, I found same problem descriptions in other forums but without any proposed solution.
As I should have quite a lot of images with frequent updates, it seems to me a better solutions...
Thanks in advance for you help.
Kind regards
Philippe

Hi Philippe,
Have a look at this blog, http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/11/linked_vs_embedded_template_im.html, it turns out that both linked and embedded images are stored in the PDF but just in different ways. So updating the href at run time will have no effect.
If you are not in a possition to store all the images in the PDF at design time then you might have to look at setting up a webservice to access them on a server.
Good luck
Bruce

Linked Image file path cleanup

Regex frustrates me, especially with trying to work with slashes... I just haven't got it yet. I'm looking just for a code snippet to thrown in another clean up script I use. To standardize to UNC, as some templates were created on workstaions (also Mac vs PC) that were incositently mapped (i.e. W:/ or X:/ etc.). Blown a day messing with this so far, maybe reaching out for help would work... Thanks in advanced!
var gDoc = app.activeDocument;
var gLinks = gDoc.links;
var gCounter = 0;
     for (var i = gLinks.length-1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
          var currentLink = gLinks[i];
          var oldPath = currentLink.filePath;
          oldPath = oldPath.replace(/:|\\/g, "\/");
// Intention
// IF the drive letter W:/ or X:/ is used
// IF case is \\OHFILE02\Personalization\
// THEN
// REPLACE with \\ohfile02\Personalization\ (string replace: would be case sensitive, not just all to lowerCase)
// ALSO above would be for all linked images as it looks like it's looping through currentLink, is that correct?
Thanks again!

I don' t pretend to know all the ins and outs of this, but I've beat my head on the same wall to know that you have to use two slashes to find or replace one. In other words:
\\ = "\"
\/ = "/"
\\\\ = "\\"
I also know that you can use "/i" in the first part of the replace statement to make it case insensitive. "/gi" makes it global and case insenstive so:
oldpath.replace(/\\\\ohfile02\\Personalization\\/gi,"whatever")
should catch all variations of upper and lowercase, so you end up with "whatever\Personalization\"
As for the replace string, I think that what you type is what you get.

Warp on Linked Image

I'm finding it very frustrating that I cant apply a simple warp to a linked image.
Why can we apply Perspective Warp, and Puppet Warp as a smart filter but not a standard Warp.
this does not make sense to me.
am I missing something fundamental?
I actually hope that someone has a simple answer that makes me look silly for asking this question...
I realize I could have the AI file linked to a PSD file that is then linked as a smart object to the final PSD
But that is just messy.
AI file is a template for artwork
PSD is the final product, with art from template to show a proof of final product with clients art
I don't want to have to update links in 10 different files every time I change the art on the template.
Hope this all makes sense.
Thanks in advance...
PS. Photoshop 2014.2.2 release on PC

But I can do a puppet warp on a linked AI file.
I'm confused as to why warp cannot be applied as a smart filter in the same way.
to me it looks like puppet warp would be harder to achieve then a simple warp as far as the programmers are concerned.
guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed they fix this in later updates.
I'd also like to see envelope distort with mesh added as that would be extremely useful.
so it looks like I'm stuck having to turn linked files in to smart objects then updating each smart object every time I map new art.
unless there is a way of updating all links to smart objects in one hit.

Finding linked images

Hi,
I'm using InDesign CS 5.5 and I want to quickly find where my linked images are located in order to be able to easily replace them with another one.
To do this, I use the links palette menu and the "lock-symbol". When doing so, the Search Window opens and InDesign automatically takes me to the folder where the image is saved.
However, in InDesign CS4 InDesign used to take me automatically to the linked image, whereas now it only takes me to the folder in which the image is saved and I have to scroll through it to find the linked image.
Does anyone know how to get this same function in CS 5?

Hi Peter,
thanks for your answer, I´m just not sure what open button do you mean?
Once you've said Relink, a regular file open dialog opens for you to choose the file to relink. If you just click the Open button in that dialog it chooses the filename of the link you selected in ID, if it is present.

Delete Image File & Linked Image (CS3)

Is there a way to do the following. I go into a document and delte a thumbnail image which is a linked image. I would like to delete the linked image the same time as I delets the thumbnail from the page. What is the best way to do this? I am ussing CS3
Thanks
Rob

Thanks for the comments. Basically I wanted the fastest way to delete an image on page and the linked image at the same time. I have done package before. The only thing I dont like about package is that all files end up in one folder. I have more than 1000 images sorted in some directories. It must be me but CS3 is a real dog performance wise on my quad core pc.

DPI of a linked image, illustrator - extendscript

Hi,
I am creating a script that needs to be able to find the DPI of a linked image. I presume there must be some way of getting to this data as it is in the links window in illustrator.
I do also need to get other information in that window (colour space & scale), but the DPI is the one im struggling with at the moment.
Mac 10.9, illustrator CS6, extendscript
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Thanks for the assistance, both of you.
After looking at the XMP i have discovered that only Tiff files have the relevent data that i need and as there will be multiple file formats that the script will need to read this is not an option.
I have used the bridge talk script from the other post that you linked and adapted it to search through all files in the document and quit photoshop when finished.
One last question, is there anyway to find out if photoshop is already running? i dont want it to close the application if the user already had it open before running.

How do I change the user linked image

In the user profile there is a specified "linked" image. In my case it is the image that was created when my user ID was first established. I'd love to change it to a better image because evidently it gets linked with my messages etc. I'm running Yosemite (OS 10.10.1) on a relatively new iMac

Niel
That is precisely what I'd like to do but I cannot figure out how to do it. When I select the "linked" tab a little window with a matrix of squares appears. One (upper left) has the offending image. It can be "edited" but that seems limited to changing the brightness, zoom or something with a slider bar below. I can't delete it or replace it. I can't figure out how to populate the other empty square with images (I'm only guessing that is what they are there for). I tried drag-and-drop and copy paste without any evident action happening. I'm trying to do exactly what you advise, but I'm lost.

One linked image.
