The main idea: a user creates a powerpoint file with 1 slide, and this slide is inserted into a slideshow which is already looping.
A first idea I had was to convert the .ppt file into an image (e.g. using http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/jodconverter/ or a .NET API), and then create a flash application which scans a directory for images(/converted slides) to show.
But this seems a bit like a complex solution, any suggestions?
You can achieve this using the insert object feature in PowerPoint.
Choose Insert from file
Select the powerpoint file
Check Link Checkbox
And its done. Any changes in the linked file are reflected in the already looping show. Let me know if you don't get it.

Many graphics programs support dynamic clones of objects, i. e., whenever you change anything on the original object, it'll change all clones right away in the same manner. The reason I need this is that I have many copies of one and the same graphic across several slides. Ideally changing one should also alter the others.
Google didn't get me any further. Is someone aware of such a functionality?
When you insert the graphic (via Insert | Picture), choose the picture then click the triangle next to Open and choose either Link to File or Insert and Link.
From then on, if you change the original picture file, PPT will update the graphic within the presentation when you open the PPTX.
Insert and Link is probably the best option; if the linked picture file isn't available, PPT will use the inserted copy of the graphic.
I have a question and i am confused what strategy i should choose to solve this.
Here is the description.
I have a gallery which is managed on user authentication.
Next I have basically a simple form which saves quotes into database.
Selecting an image from gallery it is opened in a canvas. I am using Adobe Creative SDK.
Here is the demonstration image.
Next i have to select(copy) text from database to add(paste) in text field but i have no idea how to do it.
This is the task i have to do for a client. I have never seen a similar example. This is seems unique. Please provide some suggestion on doing it.
Adobe Creative SDK's editor will not allow you to pre-populate text on an image so it's out of the question for this task. You could probably find a way to overlay text on top of the Adobe editor, but then the issue with saving the image rears its head.
If you don't need any of the other editing tools, you could simply create a canvas with the image, overlay the text and allow the user to choose the font, position the text, apply stamps, etc...
Once they're done, wire up a save button to post the field with the contents of canvas.toDataURL('image/png') and have something server-side to save it.
It will be more work than using someone else's widget, but the client will be in control of their own destiny (and have a working product which they wouldn't have before).
Keep it simple and build from there.
With Photoshop I have multiple web banners at different sizes that contain the same image. Is there a way to change the image on one psd file so that it will automatically change on all the other psd files?
I'm using Creative Cloud
Any help will be really appreciated
Thanks
Create the banner in the biggest size
Right click the layer and choose Convert to smart object
Create a new document with next banner measurements. Go back to the already created banner and use the move tool (v) and drag the layer/layers in to the new document.
If you now doubleclick your smart object (doesnt matter in which document) you will open a new document. If you make any changes there it will be changed in both banners.
You can choose more than one layer to become a smart object together. When you double click the smart object you will find all your layers separate but in the banner document it will only show as one file.
This is what the symbol on a smart layer looks like
One option is to use linked smart objects.
If you have photoshop CC you can follow this for instruction on how you'd do it.
(Sorry for the link only answer but it's a video and will make more sense then listing the steps)
if you use Photoshop CC 2014 or 2015 you can place images as linked files, same way as InDesign or HTML docs. Adobe gives now two choices Place Embeded or Place Linked.
I want to insert images in dynamic-text-box(s) which should be inline.
Detail:
I am preparing an application using flash CS4; The application is just like a chat room which will show conversation the only difference in this; it will show stored messages (stored in XML file). I want to insert smiling faces (emotions) in text body (using html tags) but the problem is that image is not inline (like in chat room [yahoo, hotmail, etc.]).
I have no idea what to do......
Please paste your code where you set the dynamic-text-box.text
Make sure that you wrap the whole text in html braces, not only images.
You can embed images in any HTMLText field using the tag.
The image, however, must be loaded externally. You can't get images stored in your library.
Its good to get the solution of my problem but sad I got solution by myself :-P
The simplest solution I got is, to update my Flash CS4 to Flash CS6; in Flash CS6 text (TextField) have extra feature like TLF (Text Layout Framework). By use TLF I can insert graphics in text area and inserted graphics are inline as well.
Problem Solved :-)
I am having problems with a table containing checkboxes in Word.
I am working with a table containing 10 checkboxes. Next to this table, there is an image.
When the user checks one of the checkboxes, something has to be added to the image, i.e. the image is further completed.
However, the order of checking the checkboxes is not fixed or defined, so there are lots of different combinations.
Is there a way to add the additional parts to the original image, linked to the checkboxes? Or is this way too advanced for Word?
Word doesn't have this type of built-in functionality with images. There are too many state combinations for the checkboxes to make an image for each state in advance. One possibility could be to find a dll or ocx and draw the image programatically (advanced). Another would be to edit your image in photoshop and cut it up into 10 separate files using a transparent background. You could then add and remove layers to wherever you are displaying your image and control the z-ordering with vb.
