Huge file size?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:21:08 GMT

Hi all,

I am creating as very basic Director file (or so i thought) in Director 10.1 with some pictures in. There are about 20 images and each one is about 200-400kb each.

Yet when I import them they come in as a huge filesize!?!? This has never happened to me before...

When I look at the side panel it tells me they are bitmaps with a file size of, for example, 23.7MB but I know its just a jpg of a few hundred kbs.

As a result my dir file, and thereafter my dxr file, is huge when the content therein is just a few megabytes in total.

I have never had this before - all my previous projects are a reasonable size?

Please can anyone advise?

Thanks...

Anchoring images

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 20:11:58 GMT

Hi all,

I'm a very basic user of Dreamweaver. I use the WYSIWYG side of things, with the occasional amendment to the code. I just create one page websites.

This level of understanding is fine for what I need, but I occasionally need to do something a little more complex and at the moment I need to anchor two images to the side/bottom of the webpage.

Here's the site, its just one page www.fromapollototomzarek.com

If anyone can advise how to do this in the WYSIWYG parts of Dreamweaver that would be great. I'm hoping to avoid the complexities of CSS stylesheets, PHP or in-depth code etc as they are beyond my understanding.

Can one half face be anchored to both the left and bottom? Then the other to the right and bottom?

Thanks,

Daniel

importing a psd into Director 11.5 ?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 06 May 2012 21:25:23 GMT

Hi all,

I am returning to Director after a long break...

I used to use Director MX2004 with the Photocaster and Alphamania Xtras.

I'm now using Director 11.5 on a PC.

I have created an image in Photoshop, on a transparent background. I'd like to import it into Director.

I used to do this via Photocaster/Alphamania, however, these have been discontinued and the free trials watermark the image.

I would have thought, since Adobe now own both Photoshop and Director, that it would be simple to import the file ? But, despite trying in .psd / .gif / .png it won't show up on my stage ? The only way I can get it to show up is using the trail version of Alphamanis - but that watermarks it ?

Can someone please advise me ?

Many thanks.....

Hotspots aren't where they are supposed to be.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 29 May 2011 17:12:20 GMT

Dear all,

I love hotspots, I just put them over a part of an image and they become a link. I've used them on loads of webpages.

But on this one, (linked below), the hotspots on the top menu bar are out of place ? They are in the correct place on the album cover links, just not on the top bar ?

http://www.curvedair.com/discography.html

Does anyone know why this might be and how it can be fixed ? (they are in the right place in Dreamweaver, just not on the site when uploaded.)

Thanks in advance !!!!!

Link colour quick question

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 19:31:58 GMT

Hi all,

In the page properties I have my link colours all set to one colour (black). This takes effect on the whole webpage.

I'd like one of my links, just the one, to be white instead.

<a href="http://www.websitelink.co.uk" class="style1">Click Here To Visit Our....</a></span></strong></p>

How do I modify this line of code to result in "Click Here To Visit Our...." is in white, irrespective or the Page Properties setting all links to black ?

Many thanks for any help !

Website won't centralise ?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:35:53 GMT

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone might be kind enough to advise me as I'm struggling with what should seem a simple thing !!!! (aren't they always!)

I've designed a website, but for some reason it won't display in the middle of widescreen monitors. Its aligned left ?

The code is below, I'm mostly in WYSIWYG mode, but trying my best with what I can.

Perhaps someone could take a look and see where I'm going wrong ?

Thanks !!!

Preview in Browser shows site fine....but uploaded....

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 01:07:13 GMT

Hi all,

I'm coming accross a strange problem.

I've taken over the creation of a website, things were going well.

Yet this evening, for some unknown reason, the site has started to display differently when uploaded.

Everything looks fine in Dreamweaver. Everything looks fine in a browser, using the Preview in Browser feature.

But when its uploaded, the menu bar on the left has all the contents out of line.

http://www.emersonlakepalmer.com/www/index.html

The design is meant to be centralised, directly underneath the logo. Yet for some reason, there's an additional (unwanted) centimetre of blue on the right, and the text is alligned right too. This isn't my doing, and doesn't appear like that in Dreamweaver/Preview in Browser. (I'm using the IE8 both times)

No amount of fiddling can fix it, its spoils the look of the site.

Can anyone explain step-by-step how to fix it ? I'm confined to WYSYWYG mostly, code isn't my strong point.

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Redirect to new page after sending email [was: Line of code assistance requested !]

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 15:12:18 GMT

Hi all,

Please may I ask someone to help me with a line of code ?

I have a PHP page with a input form which e-mails me with what a site visitor types in.

After the visitor has typed this in, and clicked submit, I'd like them to be taken to a webpage : http://www.example.com/example123.htm (Instead of the current situation which displays a thank you message)

But I don't know how to author the line of code needed ! What I have so far is :

} else {
$Line1="$Name sent the following message:";
mail("example@example.net","(My Site)$Sbjct","$Line1\nName: $Name\nEmail: $Email\n$Message","From: $Name<$Email>");
print "<font face=Arial size=2>Thankyou for your feedback, we will respond shortly.</font><hr width=200 align=center>";
print "<font face=Arial size=2><b>This is what you submitted:</b><br>";
print "<b>Name:</b> $Name<br>";
print "<b>E-Mail:</b> $Email<br>";
print "<b>Message/Comments:</b><br>$Message<hr width=200 align=center>";
}

Any assistance would be VERY much appreciated.

Thanks in advance !!!!!!

Text next to an image

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:55:22 GMT

Hi all,

I'm a beginner in Dreamweaver which I'm teaching myself ! I'm only using the Design section, no coding.

How do I put text next to any image ? It just won't let me type anything there ! Please see the below image, illustrating my problem.

If someone can give me step by step laymans instructions that would be much appreciated ! (We all have to start somewhere !)

Uninstalling Director and Xtras

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:45:17 GMT

Hi all,

I am going to be giving my hard drive to a friend, along with XP. But I am removing all my user files and programs. This includes Director MX2004 and various Xtras. But I know my friend will be learning Director, so after I uninstalled everything.....I installed the Trail version for him.

But XP has remembered my details and when I install the Trial version, it shows up as registered ! Same when I installed trail versions of the Xtras I think he'll want !

I don't want to give him all my licenses, how do I convince XP to forget it previously had Registered Versions on, and content itself with having unregistered Trial versions of Director and Xtras ? (then he can purchase his own serial numbers and enter them)

(I'd prefer not to have to reinstall all the XP) Is there some setting that can be reset or something ?

Thanks in advance...........

Password input script works within Director but not as a DCR ?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 14:23:02 GMT

I have a script which is for a password barrier. When a user finds the password, types it in the input box, then presses the Enter key.........they'll be taken to somewhere else in the timeline to see the content.

It works within Director when I press the Play button............but when I create a stub projector leading into a DCR file....it doesn't work ?

I didn't create the Lingo script as I'm not a programmer, and the person who did is long gone......can anyone help advise on why this might be happening ? (I can provide the files if that would help)

Many many thanks in advance !
