GRAPHICS, takes loooong time to load

Guest

I'm using FP2000. I copied & paste my graphic images from MSpowerpoint to
FP. under the FP image properties: quality: = 75. What does this 75 means?
is it 75 dpi ? If it's 75 dpi, the images shouldn't be big, should have
problem loading.. my biggest image is about 3" X 4" and there are about 19
images on 1 web page.

Should I re-import from my graphic software instead of Powerpoint??

2nd question. How can I do a fly-out tap with FP2000 or can it do such a
thing? Or else, how to go into SUBWEBS from the main navigation bar?

thanks in advance.

75% compression.

You should Import your images into FP after you have resized & optimized
them with an image editor.

Subwebs from Nav bar...use Custom Link Bar.

Not sure what a 'fly-out tap' is...sorry.

1. You need to optimize the original graphic images, then save as jpeg with the quality setting you
want at 72 dpi from a graphic application to your desktop, then import into your current open FP
web, then insert on your page.

The only time the quality setting under image properties comes into play, is when you let FP save
the image, which you should never do.

2. FP navigation components are limited to the web / subweb they are created in. You will have to
search the internet for JavaScript DHTML Menus, etc. or manually create your menus using plain text
or images.

OK...so after I sized my images in Photoshop, should I create a new folder
under the "folder list" in FP and save ALL these images in the right size
(pixel x pixel) in the new folder, before I put these individual images onto
my web pages? Or can I save them in my desktop and just insert them right
into my page from my desktop?

My 2nd question, what I wanted was to have a "rollover effect" of a hyerlink
or a button to give me a panel of choices under that catergory. For example,
when I rollover "housing types", a panel of buttons such as "residential"
"commercial" will spring out from it. Can FP do that?

Don't save them to that folder, Import them into that folder.
File | Import .... make sure you select the folder you're gonna import into
first.

Import the image into your current open FP web via File Menu | Import or drag-n-drop them into the
web. You place them in the images folder or create a new folder first (from within FP). Then you
insert the images onto your pages.

I don't work with those type of menus/navigation, so you will need to wait for someone else to reply
on how to use the behaviors in FP2003 or you will need a 3rd Party JavaScript DHTML Menu Script for
prior versions of FP.
