First of all blessings to Faye and family, and yes, I interpreted the EEV questions in my own way which could be a little different than yours Bruce. Lauren, as Bruce said the database is for our own use; I don't think it necessarily has to relate to pure technology. See you Wednesday!

All good. I am clueless why but.... don't question the Gods.
I still worry about the broswers error alerts I get each time i launch a page. I have had to redo pages and links way too many times. think I'm sitting pretty and bam! Nothing opens. But hope the little one is well that is the important stuff after all. See ya wednesday....

Sorry, was a little pre-occupied this weekend.

Bruce, did you resize your jpg on the Dreamweaver page? If you did, take them back to Fireworks or Photoshop and adjust the Image Size to exactly the size you want them on the webpage. Then Export (Fireworks) or Save for Web (Photoshop) again.

Erin, adjusting the size should not matter. Putting them on separate pages will help. Out of Flash, Export-Export Movie right to your site folder. Then in Dreamweaver Insert-Media-Flash should do it without any problems.

Database questions: address to Dr. S!

Hi! I am having trouble with the flash aspect of my site. I imported my flash creations to a page, but it takes forever to download- I am not sure if they even will finish at all. Rachel is having a similar problem...I tried putting them on separate pages but am not sure if that is even the problem. FYI- I adjusted the size after exporting them b/c I did not know how to do it prior to- Could that be a problem? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hey Faye-
I am working on the Beginning Flash Movie handout that Kathy showed me. I am stuck because when I created the buttons and duplicated them, the last step says that the button layer should go to frame 60 but mine doesn't. My buttons only appear in frame 1. Did I miss a big step? Can I fix this easily or have I really messed up my flash document. I am planning on coming early tomorrow night but I was wondering if you knew what was going on. Take care and thanks for your help!

Faye Do you know the best way to save the virtual tour I made for Pollock's property from the VR Worx program Dr. Byrne has, so I can then use it on my computer. I am going to make it again because it didn't save on his computer that has VR Worx. I don't remember exactly how I saved it and it didn't work exactly how we need it too, when we tried in class. Thanks for any suggestions!!

How about saving out of FrontPage to Word and then Save as Web from Word? After you do that, just open the page in Dreamweaver. You may want to explore under Commands menu > Clean up Word HTML.

Second: Any web album can be edited in Dreamweaver. More tomorrow on that.
Third: It is easier to redo the batch processing if you want the linked photos larger than it is to do each photo.

Once again...WRITE IN WORD! Also, that is the only advice I can say other than what I have stated several times here - If you have other problems with the logs, please email Dr. B! Logs "time out" which means you can write for a long time and it will not be saved.

In the movie clip on the last frame should be the stop. Make sure that your last frame has TEAM in it. You may have an empty keyframe there so everything disappears.

I've been working on the handout for Flash (Shape and Motion weens). I just finished Second movie clip but I didn't get the end result I wanted. The circles start to tween to TEAM but just before it is complete everything disappears. I checked over what I did and seemed to follow the directions correctly. Is it something about where I placed the stop? If so how can I take it out and stop it later

On the advice of our school tech guy I downloaded and installed Microsoft's new Anti-spyware software - it is still in beta version. I ran a scan and it found some stuff the others (Lavaware's Ad-aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, Spydoctor 3.1) didn't.

Is the button still a Flash button? Then the actionscript code is:

on (release) {
   getURL ("mailto:lwong@southamptonschools.org");
}

Fireworks images will only be transparent when you click "alpha transparency" in either the Optimize panel or in Export Preview.

Look at the answer for Bruce about using tables to line things up. I'm going through the same thing with a page I'm working on. Looks fine in Dreamweaver, looks horrible in all the browsers!
Lisa Wong  97
03-26-2005 01:22 PM ET (US)
OK Faye, I clicked on the button, clicked edit, and in that window I put mailto:lwong@southamptonschools.org I uploaded the page, then tried the link in explorer, and it said page cannot be found??! What did I do wrong. Also, I looked again and all my images have a grey backgrond and that is part of what is covering up my text. I thought if you exported the image it would come with the transparent background. But besides that, it's just not lining up in the browser like it is in dreamweaver? Thanks. Lisa

Faye, thanks. I am also having a problem with layers. I a putting together a page where their are many of them, and they are on top of one anothe in some cases. It looks fine in dreamweaver, but when I put it up some of the layers overlaps the text and is not in the same place it is in dreamweaver. I changed it to put a table in a layer, and then the image in the table, but it still overlaps. Thanks.

Tables in Dreamweaver to make sure the appear the same in everyone's browser: Set the width and height of the columns and rows to pixels and not percentages. Just remember that each cell cannot be set, it has to be columns and rows. You can add tables within tables for more alignment of text and images. Go read the help column in Dreamweaver on Tables.

Everybody's individual sites, yours, Donna's and each groups sites. I have the entire ee0406/ folder. I don't want to overwrite anybody's things. I clocked all of those folders in my remote view, but how do I get rid of them and only view my "Wellness" folder and my "LW" folder?? Thanks. Lisa W.

Stop a Flash movie: Create a new layer. Insert a keyframe on the last frame of the movie in that layer. In the Actions palette, double-click stop.

How do I add a stop to the end of a flash document so that it doesn't continue playing. How do I save it with multiple formats? What is the best/most efficient format to save it in. What is the best way to display the clip after the document is compiled, since not all computers have flash. Should I import it into another program that can be run from any computer and which one.

Try to address each question:

Meg, Under Window is Optimize. That palette has the choices the image should be. JPG will not be transparent and will have a while background. If you create a graphic that has gradient or drop shadow, the jpg will appear better than gif.

Meg and Jeannine: Open Firework and then File-Open the pictures you download rather than double clicking them to open. Then you will be able to save them.

Bruce and other Mac users: you need to set under System Preferences > Keyboard so that the F keys will work. What a great tech log entry if you figure that out.

The picture is a link but the boarder was set to zero. I deleted the image and inserted the same image again and the blue boarder disappeared. Very strange... but oh well the blue boarder is gone which is most important.

I checked the resolution of my Fireworks document and it was set at 72 Pixels/Inch. Should I change that to 94 and then export it to Dreamweaver to see if that helps? I didn't enlarge the button in Dreamweaver. Also, I didn't understand the third suggestion you made about Fireworks. I am not sure what you meant. Thanks for your help again.

Flash knowledge: Go to google.com. Do an ADVANCED search for Flash tutorials at edu units. You would not believe what you will find. This one is one of my favorites: http://www.utexas.edu/learn/flash/

As far as books, get either Foundation Flash MX 2004 by Friends of Ed publishers or Flash MX 2004 H-O-T book.

Faye- where will we find the flash info your going to post or did post.
I'm having flash trouble.
I tried after last class to continue what we did but I lost the sequence and it just would not work like it did in class.( I'll get a book) but until then I'll rely on the eev support site? Any other pointers that will help?

Have you create a hyperlink so when one clicks the photo it takes you somewhere? Sometimes that is the answer. Click on the photo in Dreamweaver; look at Properties and make sure there is a 0 for border.

Fireworks buttons to check: First, make sure the resolution is 94 in the Fireworks document (Under Modify > Image Size). Second, make sure you don't enlarge them in Dreamweaver. Third, if you have used any Fireworks effects, optimize (Optimize palette) to a jpg not a gif.

Hi there. I have been working with Dreamweaver on my webpage for our EEV project. When I tried to insert some pictures of paintings into a table a blue boarder sometimes appeared around the painting. It doesn't happen everytime I insert a picture so that makes it even more strange. Any idea what is going on?

Also, when I exported a button I made with Fireworks I noticed the quality was pretty fuzzy. Do you have any suggestions on a tutorial I could work with that focuses specifically on buttons? I will look through the webiste tutorials (course artifacts) but I thought I would ask you as well. Thanks for your help.

Rachel has it right. Doing all of those helps, especially Google Toolbar and using Firefox. [Or one could use a Macintosh, just a little joke because Macs are somewhat immune to attack.]

As far as VR, I am not even sure since I haven't worked in that area for years. Let's ask Donna on Wednesday.

Hi Nancy - I remember Faye & Donna recommending:
1)dowload and install the google toolbar
2)download and install adaware & spybot - update them and run scans regularly
4)antivirus software - update & run scans regularly (not sure which one the recommend but Norton & McAfee are the big ones) I think they also mentioned grisoft.
3)use Mozilla's Firefox rather than Internet Explorer as your browser whenever you can
Hopefully Faye will post an official answer for you soon, but maybe you can get started with some of this.

Two questions: What do you reccommend in addition to AD-AWARE to keep our computers safe?
Also, Do you think it is worth trying to work on a virtual tour by using my camera's stitching features with the computer, and not the VR Toolbox program?

Does anyone know how to flip the contents of a table? I have a long table and I would like the stuff at the bottom to now be at the top and vice versa - kind of like a reverse sort in excel, but this is just an ordinary table on a page in frontpage.

Usually the code only pages means you have either not put the .htm on the end of the file or you are "view"ing it in code only. First check the View menu.

You need to use "StuffIt" on the Mac side and "ZipIt" on the PC side. There are free versions and there are paid versions. I own on my Mac StuffIt because I can also make Zip files. With the free version one can't. You probably have the free version on your computer. It will have DropStuff which means you drop a folder on that icon and it will stuff.

Re power point to web:
I downloaded a sample of PPT2HTML program that is supposed to allow conversion of powerpoint to web complete with templates. Some of the instructions I am not sure about but maybe we can look at them at the next class. According to my brother, once you have installed a program that allows power point to be converted to PDF files, it is a very simple process.

Got it...sounds like work but ...
  For your screen: buy ikleen or....

    * If you don't want to purchase anything, you can try using a facial tissue with a small amount of water on it (just try to get it damp - not soaked). Or, you can get a cloth like the ones mentioned above and dampen it a little. But DO NOT use any window-cleaners on an LCD - this will damage the screen over time.

PowerPoint and Flash: http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/3rd_Part...zabet-827/index.php

There are also shareware software that can make the process easier without knowledge of Flash. I did a google search for "PowerPoint to Flash" and found several. I can not tell you how they are since I have never done it, but I'll do some more researching and let you know.

Here's one article listing them:

Okay, here's some repeating:

Logs: Contact Dr. B!!!! The tech QT doesn't deal with that since I have no control.

Linking in a JPG: In Dreamweaver this is a Hot Spots to create just that. Look that up in your help file or book if tech time is short this evening.

Table size: 800 pixels wide.

Buttons: I would have to see what you are calling "pre created buttons." If you created the buttons from Fireworks, you should have saved the native file. Fireworks will be covered over the next couple of weeks in the tech sessions.

Logs work. I don't know why mine didn't go through? Oh well. And for those of you that have just the line you are fine. It cuts off mid sentence and if you go to edit the log, you'll see the entire thing. So it's in there.

I had a little trouble posting my log at first. I emailed Dr. Byrne about it (I think he developed the new site) and he got back to me right away.
Also, I think there is a point when you "view all log entries" and it just shows you a table with the basic info for each log . . . if you click on each one it takes you to a more full record.

When I just went back to reread them only the first line of each log is there. What is going on? I know they were there before.Help!

hi faye,
just wanted to post a note saying that i was able to locate the new quicktopic site. i wasn't able to get to it before. it kept coming up as page not found. but now it seems to be up. my internet at school and my printer have been on the blink the last week. the techies came in and fixed them and they worked for a day and then went out again. they say it's not something that is happening in my room but in the control panel in the lab. any way i hope it stays fixed so i can do some of the work on my lunch break at school.

Hi Kathy!
I think we are going to do all that in class on Wednesday. However, there should be folder, I think we decided to call it STT or schoolsthattravel, that we should "put" our individual pages to. For example, you would put yours up in that folder as index because it is the home page of the site. To give it a try, use the same beginning address, but instead of KP (your initials - to go to your folder) try STT. Dr. Byrne created the folder for us at the end of last semester - so he probably knows what it is actually called. If you are really anxious to do this, but need the correct folder name, you may want to email him. I'm not sure if I'm correct on this, but maybe someone else can clarify for us here on this quicktopic. Anyone?

I need help to figure out how to get into our collaboration and edit it on the remote site and not just locally. Do we need to place all our files in one folder so that any one from the group can edit it. I know we touched on it in class be I am still a little confused. I know last semester I could edit the pages I created but not anyone elses. Has that changed? What does our group need to do so that we can all work and edit the site at any time. I know we talked about signing out a page and signing it back in and also getting the site files any time we looked at the site so we know what had been updated but I don't think all our files are in one place yet. Help!!
