  • How To Create A Slideshow?

    Hi, id like to create great slideshows and would prefer some automatic "Set Transitions" so that each change was determined by the program.

    Whatever the slideshow program I must be able to open it in Adobe Flash CS6. I have created lots of slidshows already in CS6 but cant get any automatic transitions accros multiple images to make the slidshow really professional.

    Not sure which program to use but id like the transitions and changes effects etc to be automatic without the tedious work of adding effects to each image one by one.

    Adobe Flash Professional CS6 is my prefered program as I want to add things like text and images over the created flash show. Im not much of a designer or adobe expert so any advise would be greatly appreciated thanks.

  • How Do I Change An Image on an HTML Page via the CSS sheet?

    The reason i want to do this from the CSS is that i have a script that loads A DIFFERENT css depending on region/where the visitor is coming from

    ie i want to present a different image to those in different regions by loading different style sheets depending on the region.

    I then simply change the image in each style sheet to suit.

    I am trying to change an html image as indicated below:

    The code below was taken by right clicking the image i want to change and choosing inspect element. THIS IS THE CODE OF THE IMAGE on an HTML page.

    I want to REPLACE THIS IMAGE::

    <img width="462" height="62" alt="" class="art-lightbox"

    src="images/changethispicture.png" style="">

    WITH THIS:

    <img width="462" height="62" alt="" class="art-lightbox"

    src="images/tothispicture.png" style="">

    But i want to do it through the style sheet.

    can This Be Done?

    Please note i am not a programmer of any sorts so please speak in easy english. Thanks

    PS, the index.html page loads the home.html page. If what i am trying to do could be applied to making a different choice of the home.html page, ie home2.html instead then id be interested to hear your thoughts on the ways this can be done.

    Obviously the code wold have to override the default home.html with the new home2.html

    I think for the css theres a part art-lightbox and i managed to make that invisible by adding visibility: hidden; within that string (if thats what you call em, im new to this).

    Id appreciate any advice, ive searched google and followed some examples but nothing seems to work. The invisibility: hidden hid all images on that page possibly because they were all in a layout region/cell.

    Thanks again.

  • How to extend drive space on ProLiant DL380?

    Hi, i have HP Proliant DL380 which includes 6x 72GB Hard Drives. However i want to extend this basically to an unlimited capacity but not sure how to go about this.

    The server has an SCSI input on the rear so was wondering if i could attach a storageworks enclosure like the ones in the link below to the SCSI input. WILL THE External Hard Drives (storageworks enclosure) Then Be Accessible Through The DL380? ie to save files to the array? If so mybee i can then string drive arrays together?

    I have an MSA 1000 with 2 fibre switches but i ask this question because in actual fact i have approximately 5 DL380 (Web Servers) id like to be able to extend using Storageworks drive arrays if possible?

    Im not particularly clued up here as you can tell so please be as basic as possible.

    The servers DL380s run server 2003 and others ubuntu 12.04 OS.

    Thanks.

  • What is the best low budget camcorder?

    Ok so im going to do some videos and want them as good quality as possible for as little as possible. How do i choose. Of course the big names are going to be a little better quality for the same specs i would think. But in all honesty i dont really understand the specs so dont know what to look for.

    I presume that video resolution 1080p is the better video resolution, but what about the pixels, ie 20MP. Do i just judge by the MP or by the 1080/720 resolution, also does the oom make a difference to quality.

    I have a jvc everio gz-mg132ek and i think its 0.4 mp 34x zoom. Its not a very clear crisp image.

    Any advice would be appreciated thanks.

  • Can I use 2 IP addresses on a computer?

    I have 5 computers on a networ and 3 unpacked Public WAN IP addresses. ending 80, 82 and 83. 81 is being used on the gateway.

    My propblem is that my computers on the LAN are all set up using 192.168.1 5-10. I cannot ping unpacked IPs until they have been assigned to something.

    Can i assign/ADD the .80 address to the 192.168.1.5 PC?

    In network adaptor settings advanced tab it stated ADD IP address so i have 192.168.1.5 and 87.232.4.80 both using 255.255.255.0 subnet and both having gateway 192.168.1.1 PLUS 87.232.4.81.

    Would this setup work if i waas running a mailserver which needed a static IP 87.232.4.80.

    The DNS zone files on my webswervers configured to use mail.mydomain.com and MX using the 87.232.4.80 address.

    This is effectively having a 192.168.1.1 network with a 89.232.4.81 network also but if this wouldnt work, why the need to ADD IP addresses in advanced tab of network adaptor?

    I need to keep my 192.168.1.1 network but also to assign 3 WAN Ips to PCs.

    Because the unpacked ips are not pingable untill assigned to a PC i cannot just use port forwarding unless i can get a new router which will prot forward 87.4.232.80 to 192.168.1.5 using port 25 for example.

    Any advice configuring this would be appreciated.

    RECAP

    My 5 computers are all configured using 192.168.1.5-10 Private LAN IPs

    I have 3 Unpacked Public Static WAN IPs and i need to assign each of them to one of the 192.168.1.5-10 PCs.

    CAN THIS BE DONE?

    Thanks.

Router firewall is OFF but im still required to portforward to my local private IPs and ports.

  • What choices do i have in choosing a LOCAL static IP address?

    Ok so my current router/gateway is 192.168.1.1 so locally i set 5 computers up to: (example only)

    192.168.1.20, .21, .22, .23, .24, .25.

    No reading about routers and learning a bit about networking and setting them up i often see local static ip addresses of: (example only) 10.10.10.1 - 178.123.1.254 and other variations.

    Theoretically can i use either of the above examples by changing my router address to lets say: 10.0.10.1. Or would this just screw up my connection. Do i have to have a 192 address if this was the default setup given by my isp?
