It could be the version of the flash plugin you have in IE. Netscape and Mozilla people have a tendancy to upgrade their plugins more often.

If the Graphic was made in Flash 7 or 6, it won't show with the flash 5 plugin.

Sheesh, I'd hate to have to put "Only viewable in Flash 7" on it....

We may have to restrict the banners to jpg, gif and png unfortunately....

I see the banner, but don't see any animation or any other reason why it would need to be a flash file. Just looks like a static image with a link.

The only difference is that since it's a flash file the link you are about to go to (if you click it) is not shown at the bottom of the browser.

The reason for the attempt with flash was to have two links, one for each of the offers. Our Guru, John, is working to get around needing flash to do that and still having it easy for us moderators to use. Philadelphia, PA (Really Bensalem) When you finally understand it completely... it changes.

Ahh.. I didn't click it, and since it doesn't show the URL in the status bar I didn't know there were two links.

The HTML method would be to either have two images, or to use an image map tag.

Everyone should be able to see it now with the 2 links mapped left and right. "If you give someone a program, you will frustrate them for a day; if you teach them how to program, you will frustrate them for a lifetime."

I hate to be the cop showing up at the kegger, but now I don't see it at all in Firefox or Explorer.

In explorer and firefox it says
Please Tell Web Master there is an Image Rotate error.
and the banners are in a different order but
the new one is not visible at all.

Tried clearing the cache, reloading and refreshing buy the "cop still showed up."

Hello David,

Do you mind if I swap out banners? I've got something special for folks getting into lasered Christmas ornaments. The Holiday season will be here before you know it!

I've uploaded and will try to attach it directly to this posting this time.

If that doesn't work, it's also available at:

Thanks again,

Sean

Oh, no - I ran out of room on the banner! (but it's on our website) Our alder and maple "Thin-Wood" strips are 1/8" thick, 4.5" wide, and available in either 14.5" or 24" lengths. I planned on providing the large (24") size in Alder as the "default" for this offer, but folks with smaller machines can opt for the little ones (14.5") if they prefer. Both the desired size and wood type can be added in the COMMENTS section (just like the free shipping offer) when placing your order online. As a side note: Our strips are sanded smooth and clear finished on both sides. We also provide 3 pricing tiers (each, bundle, case) that really help on those bigger jobs. Plus, you'll earn more FREE strips! Thanks David for letting me clarify for all the members. Talk to you soon, Sean Noland A&B Supply and Design, LLC 360.652.8056 ~ 360.652.8056 Fax www.absupplydesign.com

Thanks David. As a personal challenge, I authored and sell Windows software for creating Data Matrix symbols. Data Matrix symbols are a 2D 'bar code'. It's actually a symbology and not a bar code, but it works sort of like a bar code. However, unlike bar codes, a 2D Data Matrix code can store thousands of characters of information and it can be directly marked on items which eliminates labels and the potential for them to become separated from the item to be identified. The Data Matrix symbol is read by 2D readers (imagers) that are similar to barcode scanners that you might see every day, but the scanners are not typical laser scanners (ie red light). They are actually cameras that take an image (photograph) of the symbol and then process that image to decode the data within the Data Matrix symbol. The imagers/readers can be handheld (pistol like) or be fixed. You may have heard about Data Matrix symbols through the Engraver's Journal as a fundamental part of the government program to track all of their stuff which is known as UID or the Unique IDentification initiative/program. This mandate became effective on all NEW contracts that are let by the government beginning January of 2006. With the long lead times for government funding of programs, it might be a while before UID becomes fully implemented. A UID mark is a Data Matrix symbol that requires special formatting of the data. With the proper formatting of the input data, CreateADMx can easily produce UID compliant Data Matrix symbols. You may have seen Data Matrix on products that you buy everyday or on a statement that you received from your bank or medical institution, or even as a postage stamp. It's a black and white checkerboard pattern (see sample image below). The versatility of the Data Matrix symbols extends from it's ability to be marked on the head of a pin, or on the top of tractor trailer rig so that the Data Matrix symbol can be read from space! CreateADMx is fairly straight forward to use. Start it, type in the data, click on the Data Matrix image, which copies it to the Windows clipboard, change focus to CorelDraw and press Ctrl-V (paste) to paste the Data Matrix symbol into your CorelDraw document. There are, of course, a bunch of options/features that you may or may not find useful. I developed this program as the tool that I wished I had while employed for a vision company (owners of the Data Matrix symbol patents although it is in the public domain) where I marked the Data Matrix symbol on just about every substrate imaginable using lasers, inkjet marking, CNC mills, plasma arc, chem-etch, etc. While CreateADMx is more geared for examining/evaluating/studying/testing the Data Matrix symbology, it is easy to use for creating Data Matrix symbols which can be pasted into just about any Windows application document. And the price is extremely affordable especially when you compare it to the price of barcode printing applications that cost several hundred dollars! CreateADMx is NOT a barcode printing software. It facilitates the creation of Data Matrix symbols which are then ported to another application, like CorelDraw, for printing. While CorelDraw does have barcode printing capability, it cannot format/construct a Data Matrix symbol, unless it has been added to X3. I don't participate in any UID programs nor do I do any UID or Data Matrix marking. CreateADMx may be beneficial to list subscribers that want to pursue this market (or if they just want to be able to create Data Matrix symbols for other reasons) and it works great alongside/with CorelDraw. The software 'retails' for $49.50. But forum members can purchase the software for 20% off or $39.60 through the Special Deals banner ad. Thanks.

Carl, Thank you for that explanation. I know that EJ has been behind generating information on UID marking, but it's still relatively unknown to those in the awards and engraving industry. Considering UID marking will be mandatory, on many items, it does sound like opportunity knocking. When you say "enter data" is that data simply text describing specs of the part being marked?
