Substituting a graphic for text in a Flash header

I am using a simple Flash program with 4 lines of text -- the
final line being a company name -- for the header of a website. The
program works great. Current the text is dynamic with the text held
in a flash.txt file linked to the flash.fla file.
In place of the final line of text in the program, I would
like to substitute a graphic logo. The graphic I want to use
instead of text is basically the same size as the text. And I I
don;t need to change the animation text. I just want to be able to
use the graphic instead of the simple text. Is there is a simple,
easy way to substitute the graphic flie (say, a gif, or png file)
to the text in the flash program? I am assuming that this should be
easy, but I can't figure out howto do this (yes, I am relatively
new at this). Can anyone give me any suggestions, clues, or insight
into how to do this? Thanks very much for you help.
Thanks.

Instead of entering a 1 for the grade, why not enter the date. Then instead of adding 1's to get the level, use COUNT(E1:I1). Condition your cell fill to "not equal to 0" and leave the text option unchecked. That way the date will show through the background.

  • Link for text page on Flash site

    How do I create a text page for my Flash site to enable
    "crawlers" to find it? Because my site is all Flash
    (ctmgroupinc.com) web browsers can't find it. I was told a text
    page can be created and linked to the site. This will allow
    crawlers to find the key words. Does anyone know how to create
    this? Is there a template I can start with? I'm html coding
    challenged.

  • Substituting a Value for text entered in a cell

    I'm currently working on a Spreadsheet for a friend who is a teacher. She wants to track all the children in her school as they achieve various grades in their classes. I made the following sheet that allows her to add each child and then just put a 1 in the appropriate cell when they achieve each grade. I'm using conditional formatting to fill in the boxes when a 1 is entered.
    Image: !http://random.third-perspective.co.uk/pics/grades.png!
    She was very happy with what I had made but she then told me she would like to be able to enter the date the child achieved the grade so she could track the time period of their progress. As you can see above the formulae all rely on the cells containing a 1. So how do I make numbers return a value of 1 for any content put in the cell? Is there a way of doing this using an if statement?
    PS) The last three columns of the first table are normally hidden from view for neatness.

  • Is there a way for a form user to load graphics and text in same field?

    I am aware that you can load text into a text field and graphics into an image field.  However, I would like to load a document containing text and graphics (e.g., MS Word or RTF) into a single field on a PDF form.  Is there any way to do this?

    Paul,
    I believe that the example of attaching a file that you have provided will solve the problem.  I am using LiveCycle Designer, so using the code that is in your example should be no problem.  The end-user will use Adobe Reader, so as you mentioned, I will use Acrobat to extend the features so that the form can be used by Reader.
    Thanks so much for your help,

    It is part of the PDF AcroForm side of things .....Are you using Reader or Acrobat to fill the form. If Reader then you will have to Reader Extend to make this work ....if Acrobat then you simply need to add some code. I have attached a sample that shows you how to do it if you want it.

  • Why can I no longer specify my preferred font for text which has a link attached to it?

    I use TBird to send old school, professional looking business letters with logo image header and footers. Recently, I am unable to apply my preferred font to the website link part of my footer. This seems to have become an issue after one of the more recent upgrades of TBird. Its frustrating as I feel good graphic design requires uniformity in font style/type and size. This seems no longer possible. Now when I attach a hyperlink to my website address it changes my preferred font to something that looks like Arial and locks both font and size. It looks crappy.

    ''Kits47 [[#answer-701080|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    The only way I know its 12 pt. is that I copy into Word and check the font size there.
    </blockquote>
    Huge error number one, and probably cause of your problem in the first place.
    <blockquote>
    I would really like to see TBird use point size for fonts.
    </blockquote>
    Thunderbird uses HTML, HTML is expressed in pixels.
    <blockquote>
    In terms of not having Papyrus on you Linux box, I suppose that's you're choice.
    </blockquote>
    Licensing actually, not choice. The font is licensed and distributed by Microsoft. See http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1113 for a list of products your recipient can install to get the font.
    <blockquote>
    In my outgoing email subject line I always specify that my reply is best viewed in HTML, full screen.
    </blockquote>
    HTML is the default for almost all mail so that does appear to be overkill. Full screen. Personally I would be just as likely to not read mail that required full screen. Mail gets about half a screen here.
    <blockquote>
    Most systems will automatically substitute fonts for ones not on that system, at least in Apple and PC systems. </blockquote>
    Papurus actually has a higher chance of being present on a Mac system than a windows one as Apple have distributed it with OSX since 2003.
    <blockquote>
    Anyway all of that is a little off topic. I wanted help with why TBird intermittently messes with font size and style when I cut and pasting email responses to people.
    </blockquote>
    As I said at the beginning. Do not use word. Word first converts to RTF then to HTML (All done internally) The resulting HTML is extremely complex and to put it bluntly pastes as a whole page from which Thunderbird must extract only the relevant parts. (inside the body tag) The end result is the program ends up confused about what goes where.
    <blockquote>
    And, if there is some reason why sometimes, again I stress sometimes, it will not let me use the font of my choice for text that has a hyperlink attached to it.
    </blockquote>
    If your pasting from Word the most obvious thing will be that the hyperlinked text will have it's own font tags another reason I suggest you use the program your in.
    * If you want it on paper use a word processor. It is what they are designed for
    * If you want it in email use the email program to actually write your mail.
    * If you want to guarantee the look on delivery send PDF attachments.

  • Ghost scale factor appied to graphics and text

    I am working on menu generation that uses a container and adds child graphics with text labels
    The container has event listener applied to respond to MOUSE_OUT. This is so the entire menu
    will dissappear on rollout. The problem is that the child MovieClips and applied textFields are
    effected by some kind of scaling factor that I can't find in my code.
    I have attached the file with the code. It is formatted for Unix (line feed line endings)
    Suspect code is line 102 to 139 (knobOverMenu.makeMenu()). Lines 56 to 59 is the formating
    object.
    You will notice the font size is set to 2. I had to do this because using size 10 results in greatly
    scaled text.
    Why would this scaling factor be applied here? I can't find any indication in my code.
    Thank you for time and attention
    JK

    That is a simple rectangle that serves as the background for each menu
    item.
    It was created in Flash and exported to actionscript. So the code is
    what Flash
    created.
    The problem showed up when I started adding menuFieldmc with text label
    to menuPanel. That is another graphic like mainFieldmc but with enough
    height to include all the menu items. I suspect that is the problem. I
    also
    created that in Flash and exported for ActionScript. Inside menuPanel
    the mainFieldmc instances and text labels are scaled about 5 times.
    I am also curious about Sprite. When I convert a graphic element to a
    symbol,
    the dialog does not offer the option of assigning Sprite to the symbol,
    just Simple
    Button, Movie Clip, or Graphic. If I choose graphic it does not create
    an object
    definition.

  • Jagged graphics worked as fxg in flash builder

    Hello,
    I have a question, I created my skins buttons in flash player and exported them to fxg files, the I used the fxg files in Flash Builder, but when the application runs, the graphics seems jagged.
    I am looking for an answer about setting up the anti-aliasing, but I always find that it is only for text and that graphics in flash player never lose quality.
    Please if anyone knows about it please let me know.
    Thanks!

    In general, try to avoid using strokes in your FXG. If you have rounded corners, then try using a Path with a hole cut out of it. In general, Illustrator and Fireworks do a decent job of exporting the FXG.
    You can also emulate a rectangle with a stroke and fill by creating two Rects with fills. The "fill" Rect should sit on top of the "border" Rect and be inset by the border thickness.
    The spark.skins.mobile240.assets folder has a bunch of examples of FXG used by the framework. These should provide some good guidelines.
    Also, make sure you have setup your scaleGrid properties on the Graphics tag.

  • How do I animate graphics for ipad, a windows user who might jump ship

    Please read this recent post that I put up on the Adobe Flash forums site; only got one reply which wasn't much use to me, maybe you guys can help.
    No I'm not on here to moan about Mac not supporting Flash (and yes I know that in theory Apple have done a U turn and are prepared to support it, albeit through gritted teeth).  I have a problem though, I have been using Adobe since, well forever really, and am Windows based, plus I've always managed to keep both Mac and Windows users happy as I am largely video and After Effects based.  I've dabbled with Flash and Director and some HTML coding so I am not completely naive when it comes to interactive presentations.  This time I am a bit stumped though, I have an international client and they have decided as a company to invest in ipads for all their staff, so I am now being asked about interactive presentations including graphics and video content.  Well if any other client had asked this of me I would have brushed up on my Flash and probably developed a straight forward presentation (nothing too fancy is required, no back end data base stuff etc, just a few animated buttons, splash screens and video).  It is probably not agood idea coming onto an Adobe forum and asking what other program I can use for similar projects on the Mac, but that is my starting point.  I know about Keynote, which I perceive a bit like Powerpoint (Micky Mouse comes to mind, I'm asking for trouble saying that I guess), so what exactly is the programe that is used on Macs to do similar tasks as Flash, does it exist?  Before I decide to persist with Flash (and I guess that I am going to be nudged in that direction as I am on an Adobe forum) I'd like to know what is its rival on Mac.  I have done a bit of research and am looking at Xcode4, Cocoa and it all seems a bit confusing and I certainly don't want to learn, C, C++ or one of it's derivatives, plus ipads use IOS a rather pared down version of the full Mac OS.  If I were a Mac graphic designer and I wanted to design an interactive presentation for the ipad (or Mac for that matter) what professional program would I be using?  There you go a very simple question from a very long winded explanation of my problem.
    Here is the reply I got form one of the other forum users:-
    As far as I know, Jobs was putting all his eggs into HTML5, so you probably want to see how he and the rest of the team are coming along with that spec (estimates are between 3 to 10 years for a final spec release).  I believe you'll need to learn a number of other things (css, javascript, jQuery, ajax, etc) to make it all work together to mimic what it can of a Flash version.
    As far as video goes... http://www.informationweek.com/news/hardware/desktop/225701855?subSect ion=News
    (Yeah, you're less likely to get positive/useful feedback in a Flash forum... try a Mac forum, better yet, an iPad forum)
    Any help much appreciated

    Hi Mitchell,
    I'll try to help you answering few questions. I'll be short now because dinner is almost ready.
    My background and experience is web/print designer, but I have been researching and studying iPad since the original is out (I got iPad and iPad 2). I work in Windows environment, I actually embrace the iPad situation.
    Ok, basically you want to have "interactive presentations including graphics and video content" for client?
    The best answer for that at the moment is: HTML5, jQuery/JavaScript, and CSS. I am sure with those 3 can get something like this:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc3fghSJvBM
    That's actually an app. Obviously native App has some advantages over WebApp. Take a look at how Google tackle the iPad with its webapp. Lots of great example. Google uses a lot of jQuery in a smart way.
    Maybe soon Adobe products will adapt and utilize more HTML5 for iPad. Maybe Flash would eventually go to iPad, who knows.
    I actually manage to live "without Flash" and be more efficient with presentation. Less bling and splashy interaction, but still manage to give a "new" experience. I would probably ask the client to wait a bit. Study the available interactive magazines (Wired, GQ, Victoria Secret etc) and websites that utilize only HTML5, jQuery, and CSS to get that "Flash" feel.
    There are really awesome Flash websites over the last few years, before iPad came along. We have gone almost "too much" with what Flash can do in term of giving interactive and layers and layers of interactive eye candies UI. Maybe it's time to be more efficient. Save the pixels for what really more important.
    Anyhow, try a simple hack: use and experiment Splashtop app or similar app that allow mirroring of PC/Mac into the iPad. This way, you could have Flash on your iPad, as long there is a connected PC/Mac via Wi-Fi.
    Try also presentation viewer for iPad, from Prezi.
    Remember one thing: It does not have to be the iPad. We know iPad is cool, but if other tables (Android tablets) can actually view Flash and the experience is fine, then go for it. My opinion: Flash is not yet for multi-touch experience.
    Tablet revolution is still really young, so, it's time to experiment.

  • Move graphics with text--but not inline--in PM...??

    Hello, is there a way in PageMaker to move graphics with text but not inline? I ask because right now I see two options for graphics:
    --inline, so you cannot place the graphic exactly where you want AND the text only flows way above or below--but not next to--the graphic
    or
    --independent so you can place the graphic exactly where you want and the text DOES flow right next to the graphic, but then the graphic doesn't move with the text
    I'd like to be able to place graphics exactly where I want AND have them move with the text, like the "Move object with text" option in Word.
    thank you!
    L

    well it has been a while since i used PageMaker so i didn't realize it was "dead."
    though i'm not surprised and am kind of glad. i was hired into a new job recently
    to work on a department newsletter, and i'm trying to find a good authoring program
    within our budget. right now the newsletter is in Word but we've had a lot of problems
    with Word so i'm seeking an alternate solution. i'd like Frame but again there isn't
    enough money in the budget. i need a good option that is $500 or less...i'm trying Publisher
    now too but not enough functionality...

  • Can FW CS3 be used for graphic for printing?

    Fireworks does not operate or export in CMYK color space. It
    was
    developed for screen images only, and operates and exports in
    RGB color
    space. It is not recommended that you use it in preparation
    of images
    for print. You mentioned that you don't like photoshop. You
    might like
    Illustrator better.

  • Copy and paste graphics and text in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I'm a new user of Acrobat Pro and am trying to copy a combination of text and graphics from the top half of a page to the blank bottom half of the page. I've not had much success with what I thought would be a simple thing to do and would welcome suggestions. Here's a summary of the options I've tried so far for graphics, text, and both text and graphics.
    A. Graphic Alone:
    1. When I use the Select Object Tool, I can highlight the graphic but when I unclick the left mouse button, the highlighting disappears, so I can't copy the graphic.
    2. When I use theTouchup Object Tool, only an oblong portion of the graphic is highlighted when I click on the object. The only way to highlight all of the graphic is to hold down the shift key and click on successive portions of the graphic until I have highlighted all of it. When I then right-click the mouse, I can copy the graphic. However, when I then place the mouse cursor in the bottom half of the page and do a righ-click paste, the graphic appears to be pasted on top of the original graphic. I can then drag the graphic to the bottom half of the page. I can also paste the object on to a blank page from Create PDF>Blank Page. Overall, this is not elegant nor intuitive, but it does work.
    B. Text Alone:
    1. I can copy the text but when it is pasted, it is not formatted like the orginal, nor can I place it where I want on the bottom half of the page. This is true whenther I use the basic copy function or the Touchup Text Tool.
    2. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and click on the text, Acrobat places similarly-formatted text in a box that I can then right-click and copy. I can then paste the text on a blank page with the text formatted identical to the way it was on the original page. With several blocks of text formatted differently, this procedure could work but would require a lot of work to create a format with placement identical to the original.
    C. Text and Graphics Together
    1. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and attempt to highlight the top half of the page, the Tool insists on including the blank bottom half of the page in its selection. I can copy everything on the page but I haven't found a way to select just the objects in the top half of the page -- I can copy some, but the selected objects aren't highlighted and so this isn't a satisfactory route. It seems obvious to me that Touchup Object should be able to select just the objects I want. But then, even the Select Object Tool doesn't do that, either -- it Selects an object but then you can't do anything with the object.
    2. Using the snapshot tool, I can highlight both graphics and text and copy them -- I can even export them them to another program via the clipboard and create an external file. However -- regardless of whether I just copy and paste, or do a  Touchup Object file import, or whether the file is bitmap or jpg -- when I paste the resulting object or file onto a page in Acrobat, the image always comes out at 200% of its orginal size. I looked for a Resize option, but couldn't find one.
    This is all very time-consuming and frustrating since what I am trying to do is not rocket science. Surely there is a simple way to do this.
    By the way, there are no security restrictions on the file.

    Hi,
    In response to both "...is that normal?" — Yes.
    PDF is not a file format meant to support editing of layout/format/etc or text content creation.
    You'd master content in an authoring application (FrameMaker, InDesign, MS Word, etc.).
    The PDF file is the output of this mastered content.
    Some minor touchups are possible with Acrobat (think whiteout/correction tape on a printed piece of paper -- PDF page content is the electronic "finished paper").
    With that said, you might play with File > Create PDF > From Blank Page and use the Typewriter tool to enter text.
    To output MS Word content to PDF use the Adobe PDFMaker.
    Prior to Word 2007, you'd use "Adobe PDF" on the menu line.
    With Word 2007, you'd use the Acrobat Ribbon features.
    Be well...

  • Any external monitors as good as imac screen for text?

    hi all.
    this is my first mac.  it's a new 21.5inch imac with a 2.7ghz i5 proc running OS X 10.7.3 and 12 Gigs of RAM (8 Gigs from crucial for $50, who can resist?) 
    i've got it hooked up to an external samsung syncmaster B2330 running in 1920x1080, which is this monitor's native resolution.  works fine.  it's hooked up via the dvi port on the screen via the mini-displayport to dvi adapter for the mac.  i switch this monitor to the vga port when i want to use it as my pc monitor also running at 1920x1080.  there is a source button on the monitor.  very convenient. 
    the issue is that they text on this screen when coming from the mac is not as clear was when coming from the pc despite the fact that the vga port provides much less bandwidth than the dvi port the mac uses.  i've read that the mac and the pc display text on screen using different methods.  my pc uses an nvidia display graphics card.  i believe mac use ati based hardware. 
    there appears to be much more interpolation when displaying text from the mac.  perhaps this is a text size issue i'm not sure.  either way i read a lot on this monitor and need it to be as good as possible for that purpose. 
    so the question is, does anyone have experience with an external monitor that is as good as the imac screen for text display.  i can't use the thuderbolt display or a cinema display since they don't switch to different ports allowing my to use a single external monitor for two machines.  i'm willing to spend up if there is a reason to do so.  i'm on these computers a lot.  i work from home with some regularity and my job is all about reading.
    any help is appreciated.
    best, c

  • Problems with searching for text in Preview

    Hi, everyone...I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I have an old MBP with Tiger installed and Preview 3.0.9. I have attempted to search for words in numerous PDF files and the search function NEVER brings up the words even when I know the words are contained in the document. I read the Preview manual and I know I'm following the correct procedures in searching for text, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me out with what I may be doing wrong? Thanks!

    I can't picture what you could possibly be doing wrong, there's not much choice in the matter.
    The only time Searching fails here is if the text in the PDF is actually only a graphic of the text.
    Are these PDFs that you made? If so, what APP?
    If you down load this PDF, does Search work on it?

  • EPDF files failing to read on ADE reading software when they have Sidebar color graphics and text, how do we fix problem?

    We have 2 different InDesign files not reading properly in ADE reader. Both files have sidebar color graphics and text in them. The one original file's EPDF was showing blank pages for all the page with the sidebars in it when opened in ADE (they are DRM wrapped). Pages that did not have the sidebar showed up fine. Our ebook distributor is telling us that we have to rasterize the file. We are working in InDesign 6 with Adobe Acrobat X Pro. We made JPEGS of each page and reimported into an InDesign file and exported to PDF and our ADE reader then showed the sidebar pages. The file is pretty large though and I have a full length book that has the same problem. What is the problem with our sidebars and what are better solutions than JPEGS for each page? Thanks.

    I will give that a try, thank you.

  • Graphics for Interlaced & Progressive Video.

    I had started an earlier thread addressing this issue. The answer I received didn't achieve the results I was looking for so I presented the information a little better. Thank you.
    I am having interlacing issues producing graphics for a video destined for both the web and broadcast.
    The video's main output will be interlaced on a DVD, the project uses mixed sources both progressive and interlaced. Graphics produced for this piece have been exported from motion with field rendering on.
    Approval for this video is done over the internet on youtube. I must deinterlace the video so that it may be displayed on youtube correctly. The problem is that the graphics in the video get ugly stairstepping in them due to the deinterlacing. Deinterlacing is done through compressor's frame controls.
    What is the best method for producing graphics for a video that is destined for both TV and the web? Should I be working in both a progressive and an interlaced timeline (exporting graphics either interlaced or progressive for each timeline). Producing only a progressive video is not valid in this case because we want the interlaced video assets to maintain their interlacing for television. Is there something I can do with my interlaced timeline/video to make the graphics look good when changed to progressive?

    The methods provided in the previous thread ARE the best methods. That you're having issues is indicative of something else perhaps. It would be best if you could provide a sample of the two clips and the issue you're seeing. Also, a complete accounting of the footage and graphics would help as well. Here is an example:
    +Video is DV/NTSC 720x480 29.97, lower field dominance.+
    +Graphics are Text. Font Arial bold, 28 point in Boris Title tool.+
    +Compressor settings: DVD Best 90. Frame controls: Deinterlace (better), output progressive.+
    +Here's a pic of the stairstepping I'm seeing after Compressor [provide link]+
