Rollover slices and preloads

I've researched and tried a number of preloads... but none of
them seem to work. I want to hide the load-in of the slices. I have
already optimized the slices individually, so that's not the
problem. I see many sites don't, but some do. I've tried looking at
their codes but to be honest I can't ferret out which lines do the
work, or where they are placed.
The workflow I have is image-ready to dreamweaver. I see that
dreamweaver has it's own internal routine, when you build the
rollovers there... but there must be some code that handles
image-ready source slices.
Thanks for the help.

You could use Dreamweaver's preload function. Put this inside
your head
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
and add this as an attribute to your body tag
onload="MM_preloadImages('../images/1.gif','../images/2.gif')"

Slice and 'saving for web and devices' not saving all images in selected area

Ive designed my site in illustrator and now im using slices and save for web and devices.
When I save a slice as a jpeg or gif it saves the text and but not the background image behind it. I haven't locked the background image and all the content is on the same layer in illustrator so why is it doing this and how can I stop it?
Thanks
James

Thanks for your reply. Yes, my Photoshop CS5 is updated to 12.1. I'm running OSX 10.5.8 and have tried viewing in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome with no improved success.
I have been reading these forums for about 3 hours trying to find the answer to this question but am still at a loss. I have found one article here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7974006/overlapping-image-in-photoshop-splice-how-to-fl oat-with-css
which explains using an "absolute" value in CSS to lock images in place. I'm currently working in Dreamweaver to see if it's a common error in Photoshop when resizing browser but is easily fixed on the CSS side.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

Rollover Images and Captions

Can anyone give me a short, step by step way to
create rollover images with captions. I couldn't manage to get that
done, and when I read the Help screens within the application, it
didn't help either.
In particular, here was the problem: I was in Storyboard with
the slide highlighted that I wanted to add the rollover image and
caption. When I went up to the Insert drop-down menu and clicked on
Rollover Images, there were no images; I was simply taken to My
Documents.
I hope somebody can help. I've spent more than 4 hours trying
make this work. I'm SURE it's some little detail that I've failed
to pay attention to.
THANK YOU!
Dean

Hi Dean,
The "little detail that (you) failed to pay attention to" is
just that. In order to insert an image, you have to select the
image to insert. Use Windows Explorer (from \\My Documents\) to
navigate to \\My Documents\My Pictures\ or whereever else you keep
the image you wish to insert, and select it. Understand, it is up
to you to provide the image . . . it's not like you are selecting
from Captivate's own image gallery (though that is a cool idea, now
that I think of it - LOL!)
Your question indicates to me there might be some confusion
about what you want. You said you want "rollover images with
captions". There are rollover images which are just images to which
a mouseover action has been applied, and there are rollover
captions which are just normal captions to which a mouseover action
has been applied ... but there are no rollover images
with captions. The only way to have a rollover display a
caption is to create it yourself. And the "step-by-step" for doing
that is totally dependent on which image editor you are using
(Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, Paint, etc.). But the gist of it is
below.
1) Open the image in your image editor - or create it there
2) Expand the canvas to create extra "blank" space on the
image (for the caption)
3) Use the "Text" tool to create your caption text and add it
to that blank space.
4) Save the image - BMP format works very well, but any
format supported by Captivate.
5) Close the image editor
6) Open or switch to Captivate and the slide on which you
want to place it.
7) Select "Insert > Rollover Image"
8) Select the image (with its included caption)
9) Set its attributes and position it on the slide.
Hope this helps. The reason you wont' find this in the "Help"
files is because it is a creative use of images that is not a
supported function of Captivate itself. If you would like to see
future versions of Captivate support the creation of
images-with-captions, the way to do it is to submit it as a feature
request. The form to do that
is
located at this link
Hope this helps.

Slice and dice in webi

Hi,
Can you do slice and dice in webi?
If yes, please tell me steps to be required.
If no, please tell me for which tool these are possible in BO environment
Thanks and Regards,
Manjunath

There is no Slice&dice panel in Web Intelligence as the one found in Desktop Intelligence.
Still you can use crosstabs and block filters or even th drill function of WebI to get the same funcitonality.
Which version of WebI do you use?
The current version of SAP BusinessObjects Analysis (Folrmerly known as Voyager) offers analysis capabilities (incl. slice & dice) for SAP BW and Microsoft OLAP data sources.
What kind of data sources do you try to analyze?

What is the function of the Slice and number 4 LUTs in cRIO9104 FPGA?

When I compiled the FPGA VI, the compliation report tell me that there is limitation of the resources pf FPGA, the FPGA that I am using is cRIO9104. Do you know what is the function of the slice and number 4 LUTs in FPGA? Which FPGA LAbVIEW code need to use these FPGA resources? And I have attached the compliation report for you as a reference.
Thank you for your helping!

You've simply got too much code to fit the available resources on that one particular FPGA, just as the error message says. I would take the error message's recommendations, or split up the functionality into two FPGA's.
By the way, LUTs are lookup tables, one way the compiler implements your code. Slices are areas that run independently (general case) of any other slice and how the FPGA achieves true parallel processing.

Rollover text and images in Captivate CS4

Hi All,
I am trying to create a rollover image and rollover caption that both appear at the same time when I move over a particular area of my slide. In my example below i want to rollover the arm of the body and have the text and the image appear at the same time. I have tried to put the 2 rollover areas over each other but this seems to give priority to whichever rollover area is on top. Any hints to make this work would be of great help!!

Hi there
What you need to do is abandon each rollover type. Instead, insert a Rollover Slidelet. Then insert a Text Caption and an Image into the Slidelet area. Then on a single mouseover, display the slidelet. Time the Slidelet as needed.
Either that or create a larger image containing both the Text Caption and the Image as a large consolidated image. Then just insert a Rollover Image that shows the larger consolidated image when moused over.
Cheers... Rick

Rollover problem - rollover area and rollover caption appear simultaneously. Mouse has no effect.

Greetings - I am a new user of Captivate 7, subscription version. I am taking tutorials and cannot get the rollover caption and area to work. They simply appear as two objects. Mousing does not affect appears or disappearance of the caption. What am I doing wrong? TIA

This may seem like a stupid question, but how are you watching the project? Simply playing the slide (using F3 or pressing the play button in the timeline) won't show interactive objects working. Use:
F4 (to preview the whole project within Captivate)
F10 (to preview a certain number of slides in Captivate starting with the current one--default is 5 slides)
F12 (to preview as a swf in the web browser)
or... I think it's F11 that previews as html5 output in a browser, although I don't use Captivate 7 so I don't know for sure
Edit: woops, looks like Lilybiri beat me to it

Rollover slidelets and getting the "main" slide to persist

Hi,
I have a slide with a graphic of a user interface with several rollover slidelets on various UI elements. I have it set up that when the user clicks on an item, it jumps to another slide with some audio narration that explains the item, and displays some different video. How do I make that first slide (or any slide, actually) persist and just display indefinitely, without moving to the next slide? I can work around this by making all the slides have a really long display time, but there has to be a better way to do it.
Thanks!

Thanks to you both. So, I started thinking about this some more, and tried your suggestion of using rollover captions and clickboxes. I had two problems--first, the clickboxes did not pause the slide progression, even though I had their properties set to do that. Second, after I finished adding all of my rollover captions and clickboxes, mysteriously they all stopped working completely. I can delete all of them from a slide and recreate one, and it works, so I'm wondering if I ran up against some upper limit or if maybe my project file has become corrupt.
Anyway, here's some more information about what I'm trying to do. In the pic below, number 1 indicates one of the items I'm adding a rollover caption and clickbox to. All of the items like this that appear in the left side are going to have clickboxes and rollover captions. When the user clicks one of these, the clickbox jumps to a different slide, which will show a different image in the right side, as well as a slightly different list of options in the left side (in some cases). Each slide has audio narration as well. All of this must be easily reproduceable in local language versions of this interface as well, for translation purposes, so I can't get too fancy in Captivate.
So what I've done is create all my rollover captions and clickboxes on the first slide, and then copy and paste them to each of the other slides (moving them as necessary on some slides when the sequence of the options changes). This way the user can always click or mouseover another hotspot from any slide and doesn't have to click a Return button. This seemed like it would work, but now none of the rollover captions or clickboxes are working.

Slices and centering in dreamweaver

I have sliced my webpage in photoshop cs3 and followed the
output options. I open the html file in dreamweaver and now want to
center the sliced webpage. I watched a tutorial and it said I
should be able to click and select the entire table and align it to
center in the properties area. The problem I have is there is no
container around all the slices so if I try to highlight the outer
line of the slices it just grabs an individual slice. What have I
done wrong that won't allow me to grab all the slices and center it
as a page?

Plz can you give us a link so we can see
Plus how is your image holding together in your web page, in
a table or in
div
But my guess would be to create a div that will contains all
of imges
regardless if they are in tables or in div. Then you can
center the div
with some CSS
here is an example can you could copy
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Rollover buttons and rollover areas

I created a button on Fireworks that changes from blue to purple on rollover and when I imported it into Captivate 5 it works perfectly. However when I added a rollover area the button no longer changes color. I would love some ideas on how to make that work.
I tried placing the rollover area behind the button and it changes color but the rollover caption does not show up. I also tried not using a rollover area and instead changing the button properties to On Success: Show > Text Caption and that works ok except I don't want the slides to continue for there are still other buttons I would like the viewer to press before proceeding. I have a feeling there's some Advanced Actions that I could use but don't know how to set them up.
Please help me, thanks a bundle in advance.

You can get this to work by using the Event Handler widget: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/catalog/widgets/interactive/wdgt_event_handler_01
There's a post here where I describe how to us Event Handler widgets to have a rollover as well as a double click event and right click event all working off the same object on a Captivate slide: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/beat_cp_interactive_catch22
This isn't possible to do any other way. I tried every other way I could think of first.

Export multiple slices and preserve slice name?

I am very particular about naming my slices what I want the filename to be, then do the right-click > export slice on each graphic, but when you have to do that for 50 slices it gets pretty annoying.
Is there a way to select a bunch of slices and export them with their current slice name, all at the same time? Rather than just giving it the generic root - name that they all go off of.
Thanks!!
-Austin

If you name the slices in the Web Layer (double-click on "Slice" then type a name without an extension), then that's the name they get when they're exported.
When I want to export only some of my slices, here's what I do:
Select the slices (either on the canvas or in the Web layer)
Go to File > Image Preview
Adjust any parameters (the Properties panel has limited selections, so this is one good option)
Click the Export button
For the Export: drop-down, select "Images Only"
For the Slices: drop-down, select Export Slices
Check box next to "Selected slices only"
Click the Save button
If you go through File > Export, you skip steps 3 and 4. If you've already optimized your file parameters, then you might prefer this workflow.
I'm using CS3, but I don't think this process changed in CS4.

Slice and dice

Hi folks
What is the main difference between Slice and Dice and Drill down and Drill across?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Niranjan

Hi,
<b>Slice:</b>
Planning Users can look at a layer in isolation (or slice the data). A customer segment manager isolates the numbers for a submarket and can then analyze individual contribution margin steps for the numbers.
<b>Dice:</b>
They can change the dimension (or dice the data). A product manager can look the customer perspective in relation to a Yellow Account the portion of revenue of the customer segment for a specific product, for example.
<b>Drill Down:</b>
(Pulling the information to Rows)
They can examine the detailed information of a cumulated number (or drill down through the data). For example, they can go from the total revenue from Yellow Account to the portion created by individual customer segments.
<b>Drill Across:</b>
Pulling the information to coloumns
Regards
Happy Tony

Rollover / slices workflow.. how do you do it sans Image Ready?

My old workflow use image ready to export rollovers, etc.
If I look at a typical nav menu (for my design), I have an area that needs several different types of slices.
1 slice involves the background, with the buttons turned off
2 slice involves the buttons in their off state
3 slice involves the buttons in their on state
It seems I would need to use 3 layers of slices to accomplish this.
My current workflow sucks - I
-slice the background , export
-slice the off state, export
-toggle to my on state, then export (uses the same name as off state) but put it in a /rollover folder.
It is a lot more work that I would like, and a pain if I have to go back and change the background... recreating the slice destroys my button slices.
I am curious to hear about your workflow for this.
Best,
KCr

That's how you do it. Select the trigger (text or image) and
apply a swap
image behavior. In the behavior pane that opens, select the
image you want
to swap out, and browse to and select the one you want to
replace it. To
swap another image, repeat that process, until you run out of
images. Then
click OK to close the behavior pane.

Rollover slices?

The saving slices options dialog leads one to believe there are features in Illustrator that allow the creation of rollover states for web graphics. Slices can be saved like: SliceName_Date_RolloverState-TriggerName.ext.
I can find nothing on creating rollovers in Illustrator in the help or googling for it. And what's Trigger Name, the event: Hover, click...?
Thanks

Well you can give it a link to another page or to the same page and the target would be something on that page that has been described as a target with a name anchor. I do not know under what circumstances you would use this over the point and shoot feature of Dreamweaver or manually adding the link in BBEdit.
I alternate text is what you would want it to show if on a device that cannot not display the visual nature of the slice.
I can think of little reason to use this unless perhaps you are using a text editor with no features like BBEdit to create your html or your style sheets.
But some users do use it and as old fashion as they may seem the ones i have seen have gotten very good at using their own coding.
And this seems to help them?
I would not trust it but that is me.

Very Very long ping time, only on arch, and preload doesn't work

Arch is the most amazing Linux system I have ever used. I get like a 30 second boot time from start to finish, i'm just wowed.
I am using arch64, and have only 2 problems!
1. I have like a 32ms ping, for any site, toooo big. I have a 3com NIC card which Is currently being used as eth1, and an nvidia network controller on my board eth0. The nvidia controller doesn't work right, so i am using the 3com, with a huge ping time
2. preload isn't working. I have 3gb of RAM, and AMAZINGLY only 400mb of RAM is being used, with 9 tabs in firefox open, compiz-fusion, gnome desktop. DAMN! I want more RAM being used, what is wrong with this?? (the problem is that things start up a little slow, so it must mean it is not staying in the RAM)
Please tell me what I can do to fix these problems!
EDIT: Could it have something to do with the groups I am in, or the preload.conf settings, or the rc.conf file?

all in all, you should not be so annoyed unless your used to sub 10 ms ofc.. but this is still very quick for a webhost, atleast i think so.
