Rich media web banners in flex?

Our company is looking into developing rich media and/or expandable web banners. I'm pretty comfortable in Flex and was wondering is anyone has built web banners using Flex instead of Flash. Thanks.
Ryan

Flex is a framework. Although the output of both Flash and Flex is a .swf file, if you build it using the Flex framework the output file embeds components (e.g. button, scrollbar, text field, canvas), which probably you will not need if your goal is to create a banner.
E.g. the smallest app built in Flex is ~ 170000 bytes.
HTH.

Help with bitmaps in web banners

We have been doing a lot of web banners that incorporate
bitmap images (jpgs, gifs, pngs) but we are having trouble meeting
the size requirements of our intended sites. We have to compress
the images so much that they just look terrible and we still don't
make the requirements. Yet if you go on the web you see lots of
people making great ads with what appear to be fairly lightly
compressed images. How is this done? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks

We do use rich media for some media placements, but most
placements have ad size in the 30KB range so it seems rather
difficult to meet those requirements and still preserve quality.
Here is a link to a banner I have using as a test:
Banner
test
That banner needs to be less that 35KB and to that is has to
look like that. I would like the animation of the woman to be at
least twice that size, but if insert jpgs at the size I am way over
the limit. Also I would like to have her up longer but that too
takes me way over the size. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What software do you use for rich media ad development?

I am a flash designer that would like to start developing rich media ads. My my full-time job, I am designing and developing banner ads but they are just normal banners with clickTags and flashing buttons.
I would like to make them more interesting and widget like too, passing data via the database or allowing users to play and interact some how.
How do you think is the best way for me to learn more about rich media adds? Should I try a trial membership with a place like Eyeblaster? I have heard about their plug-in for Flash that allow you to develop rich media. But is that a good system? Do you know others? What is it like. And do you normally just get into rich media ad dev because of clients or is it mainly used by ad agencies? Also, for those who use it at work or on banners, did you recommend / purchase it or was it purchased by your company? Are you a designer or developer? Does it work with AS 2.0 or AS 3.0 or both?
Thx for reading and any replies thanks so much!
Ms.Lee

Most web advertising is still done with AS 2 because usually an on release event handler is required for tracking the clicks.
A lot of rich media ads are produced by agencies. Or if a website sells banner ads, the company usually purchases the software for the in-house designer/developer to use and charges clients more for rich media ads. Companies like Eyeblaster usually charge based on the file size of the rich media ad, so they usually cost more to serve than regular old banner ads (and can take a lot longer to create) which is why they are more expensive for the client. Some clients want more than will fit or look good in a banner in which case rich media can be a good solution.

PDF with rich media

We are planning to make a School Newspaper and we would like to create it in Pages and then add rich media (audio, video QT and Flash) and export it to an interactive PDF which loads the content from the web and makes the PDF mailable. Is Pages the right program for this and which other tools should we use so we can create these professional looking PDF's you sometimes get from publications.
Thanks for any help.

My guess is that Pages is not the good tool.
The doc states:
+PDF: PDF files can be created using an image quality of good, better, or best. When the image quality is set to best, the resolution of images isn’t scaled down. When the image quality is set to better, images are downsampled to 150 dpi. When the image quality is set to good, images are downsampled to 72 dpi. Images without an alpha channel are JPEG compressed with a compression level of 0.7 at the good setting and 0.9 at the better setting.+
+When you export a Pages document on a computer with Mac OS X version 10.4 or later, hyperlinks are exported. Hyperlinks are created in the PDF document for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email messages, and bookmarks.+
+The PDF file, which preserves font characters used in the document, can be viewed or printed in Preview, viewed or printed in Safari on Mac OS X version 10.4 or later, and edited with a PDF application.+
I assumes that to do what you wish, the soluce is Acrobat Pro.

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox

Creating Web Banners in InDesign CC

I need to create some static web banners.
They're a mixture of flat type/graphics, and mock photo collages with drop shadows.
InDesign is my strongest suit. Illustrator I'm decent. My Photoshop skills are lackluster.
Can I create them in InDesign CC, save as PDFs, open in Photoshop and Save for Web?
Alternatively can I just export them as JPGs from InDesign?
Is it better to create them in Illustrator?
Or do I need to buck up and learn to do them right in Photoshop?

Or do I need to buck up and learn to do them right in Photoshop?
I don't see a problem with using ID—it's certainly easier to set type there than in Photoshop. Guess it depends on the amount of type vs. image effects.
Just set the document up with web intent to the pixel dimensions you need for the banner. To get a same pixel dimension image version export to JPEG at 72ppi or to PDF and open as 72ppi.
If you are using OSX this AppleScript might be useful, opens the ID page as a layered Photoshop image:

AR9.1 Rich Media Annotation TextInput and Backspace Key

I've put together a test PDF see:
http://www.amrita-cfd.org/4adobe/rich-media/shock-tube.pdf
that shows that the backspace key does not work as expected
for an a TextInput field in a rich-media annotation when
viewed with Linux AR9.1; at least not with my SuSE 10.3 setup.
There are a couple of other issues not alluded to in the test PDF:
(i) the /Widget used to toggle the attachments pane does not work
in fullscreen mode; (ii) the /Widget used to zoom out from
the rich-media annotation has /Normal, /Rollover and /Down
appearances, but only the /Normal appearance is drawn.
James Quirk

Hi Sandip,
Thanks for your reply. I'm glad to hear that the backspace
issue is being worked on and I'm guessing that you're
also aware of a similar problem with the enter key?
I agree that my non-Acrobat PDF might be deficient in some
way and it's also possible that my user preferences are
not quite right. But consider the following.
I re-jigged the test PDF such that the /Widget whose /R
and /D appearances were not activated now lies half on
the rich-media SWF and half on the background page.
Recall this is the /Widget that reads "Click to zoom out!",
which appears when the SWF is activated.
Interestingly, when I position the mouse over the /Widget
half that lies off the SWF (the right-hand half) then the
right-hand half does have its /R and /D appearances rendered.
But the left-hand half, the part that lies over the SWF,
is stuck with the /N appearance.
Following this observation, I re-jigged the /Widget to
print out the events its receives on the JS console.
And it seems that the left-hand half of the /Widget
is not getting /E or /X events, even though the
mouse correctly changes shape, but it does receive
/D, /Fo, /U and /Bl events. The right-hand half
receives all events as normal.
You can also try the following. Move the mouse over
the right-hand half of the /Widget, such that an
/E event is generated. Then move the mouse along
the /Widget towards the left-hand half: the second
the mouse reaches the left-hand half the /Widget
receives an /X event.
Therefore it looks like there is some inconsistency
in the event model when a /Widget lies on top of
a rich media annotation, or at least the behaviour
I'm observing is not hinted at in the document adobe_supplement_iso32000.pdf which covers rich-media
annotations.
Anyhow, I'll send you the original PDF as you requested
along with the modified one I describe above.
Regards,
James

Problems with OC4J Web services and Flex SOAPEncoder

Hello!
I got a problem trying to execute a web service running in
Oracle OC4j 10.1.3.3, and a client side with Flex3. I generated the
scripts for using the web service using Flex builder 3, but it's
not making a valid call to web service. I debugged the call
operation to the Flex SOAPEncoder which seems to generate an
invalid soap message. The SOAPEncoder generates the following
message;
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<tns:getDocuments xmlns:tns="
http://modultek.atonpdm.document/">
<tns:getDocuments>
<tns:String_1>service manual</tns:String_1>
</tns:getDocuments>
</tns:getDocuments>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Where the correct working soap message should be;
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<tns:getDocuments xmlns:tns="
http://modultek.atonpdm.document/">
<tns:String_1>service manaual</tns:String_1>
</tns:getDocuments>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Problem in the first message is that Flex SOAPEncoder
generates an extra <tns:getDocuments> child tag, and Oracle
app server can't handle it.
Has someone any idea why SOAPEncoder is generating the extra
operation tag, and is this behaviour configurable somehow or is the
soapencoder broken?

Best regards, Janne

I am having the exact same problem. The SOAPEncoder is adding
an additional tag and the server thinks the envelope is not
properly formatted and therefore does not know what to do with it.
Is there any fix for this yet? Or has it even been reported as a
bug?

Web Banners

Creating Web Banners in Keynote

In my opinion keynote is the ideal program to create web banners. Easy animations, flash export. What I am looking for is a workaround to create SMALL foil sizes as 235x61pixels.
The smallest size I was able to create was a heighth of 200 pixels.
Has anyone an idea how to build smaller sizes in keynote?
Thanks!!

You can create a presentation that's the same ratio, and then embed it in the web page at the size you want. For example, creating a presentation that's 470 x 122 will give you the right ratio. For your embed, you still would enter 235 x 61 though.

I have opened a discussion at javascript forum but they tell me that mobile devices do not read javascript http://forums.adobe.com/message/4741591

Is there any way to give a warning to the mobile device user that the PDF has Rich Media Annotations and a Windows or Mac Pc is needed to see it right?

Does anybody know a working (live) example of a rich media enhanced magzine, preferably a magazine with flipping pages and (a combination of) normal and moving pictures (movies). If so please advise url, because a (moving) picture is more than a thousand words!
The media could start as a pdf file with the rich media embeded and later on converted to a flipping magazine.

Illustrator and Photoshop for creating web banners?

My company for years has worked with print products. We recently started creating web banners. We use Illustrator for the layout for print and Photoshop for the layout of web products. I have artists who dont see the difference between the two. They want to continue to create web banners in Illustrator. Or they want to export the Illustrator file into Photoshop with the layers. But, to export it this way it has to be cmyk. ugghhh. Can somebody please give me valuable reasons on what application is best and why? Thank you very much!

>But, to export it this way it has to be cmyk.
Not true.
Illustrator is "best" for vector. Photoshop is "best" for raster.
I would let your artists work in whatever program they feel they produce the "best" art. You should be able to quickly and easily develop a workflow around their needs. If you cannot, then you have your answer too.
