I am attempting to create an apartment complex app for my company.
I want to add an image of the overall floorplan for the apartment complex (I added the image to my app).
Now I'd like to add one of the following:
• custom shaped buttons that line up with each Unit in the complex
or
• Setup a clickable image map on the layout image
I humbly thank you in advance for helping me figure this out!
You can try to split your big image into several small images and made different images clickable.
Or you can put big image on fixed layout, and put buttons on fixed positions something like this
blue circles with icons are buttons.

"Pika" and "Pikachu" is custom images. How come they are so poor comparing to the "Downloads" tab bar item icon which is from the system? The images is png and a resolution about 25x25px. I have tried differents resolution but all give this poor view. Hope you guys can help - Thank you.
If you follow the Icon and Image Sizes Guidelines for the device you are building for the result should work as expected. In this case you would likely want to use 50x50 (#2x) image sizes if you are creating a UITabBar for the iPhone 5:
Using this the appropriate sized icons should yeild nice sharp icons when the project is built:
I have been working on this issue for days and have been trying different methods that I have found in similar questions on stackoverflow and other forums to make this work but can still not figure out what is keeping me from aligning the entire object as one in adobe illustrator.
I have grouped all of the objects and the objects are merged into one layer. I click Align in the control panel. Then I make sure Align to Artboard is selected. I also click on Transform to make sure the two boxes are unchecked. Then I click Align to center horizontal, everything moves accordingly. Then when I click Align to center vertically, the logo is altered. All I am trying to do is get the entire logo centered on the artboard.
Does anyone have an idea on what step I am missing to make the entire logo move as one object?
I didn't have enough reputation to post images so I provided the image links below.

You can see that the smile is moved up a few pixels which is driving me crazy. I can resize the objects as one. I can move the objects as one. But I can't align the objects to the center of the artboard as one.
You have to active the guideline, but it's already activated.

I could not find the clear difference between IMAGE MAPS and CSS SPRITES. Both are looking like combining the images in the page into one? So we can reduce multiple requests to the server. So what is the real difference?
Image Map:
A single image in a page, with different areas you can click on, which then have different effects (eg launching different links).
There's a description of this here: http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/imagemap.shtml
CSS Sprites:
Combining the images behind a number of css classes into a single file to improve performance - eg reducing number of requests and often overall download size.
For example you might combine various border elements of a colorbox dialog into a single image, or combine the clicked and unclicked images for a button.
The best description I've found of CSS sprites is this one: http://css-tricks.com/css-sprites/
An image map is one image that you can turn into an image map and place multiple links on top of the image.
A CSS sprite is one image made up of mutiple images that youy use CSS background positioning to display this reducing http requests.
An Image Map is the definition of coordinates that are lying over the image to be able to react to events on this areas.
a css sprite are two or more images joint in one image.
I know it been asked a year ago, just let me try to explain in own my words.
CSS Sprite is like a single file image repository that you can pull out any portion of it via css and place them individually in arbitrary area in your webpage real estate, while image map (to-url) , as it name suggest is a image that has a clickable area that maps to your target url.
I need to add a scroll to "one" picture and load it asynchronously.. with the help of scroll bar...
The picture is bigger than the div area so need to scroll. I can use "overflow: scroll " but it loads the whole picture whereas my requirement is to load the picture as a user moves the scrollbar.
thanks
The would help to load a page with multiple large images in the manner you are describing
Lazy Load plugin
It isn't built for one giant sized image which is what you want. However it should be an easy matter to slice you image into reason sized regions or tiles and use this loader.
Out of interest really - here is a utility that will automatically slice up images to protect them from theft. I occurs to me that you could combine the two if you didn't fancy manually splitting the image - or just wanted to be a bit of a coding hero. In any case the link shows that sliced and recombined images look perfectly fine. Users can't tell if it's done right.
I want a fusion chart in my flex app to display with a Lightbox effect like the effect you get when you click on any of the charts here or checkout the demos here
These effect have been attained with the help of javascript. How do i get the same effect via Flex? Any idea?
Thanks a lot
I built a Flex component called PopUpThumbnail that is very similar to HTML/JavaScript lightbox components.
Here's an example application that I created with it to displays Flickr images.
Add a mask over the top of the whole application with the content area in the middle and the semi alpha area around it. Clicking on the surrounding mask removes the layer, and you can interact with the content area as normal (make it look like a popup rather than actually using one...)
