Sandosh’s new blog

For those who have propreity images on their website and want to safegaurd(atleast to some extent) from surfers who just right-click and save or go through the source, find the src and save it, I have a partial solution!

click here for an example!

The solution is to load the image inside a flash object. But then its impossible to make one flash each for every image. So, I made a Flash which can

• dynamically load Images
• show the percentage downloaded with a bar
• dynamically copyright messages or add captions

Here is how to go about it. Download the FlashImg scripts from here.

1. Unzip the archive. You should find
   • flashimg.php - the php class file
   • images.php - images definition file
   • flashimg.swf - the flash file for loading the images
   • index.php - example file
2. Edit the images.php file. Will look like this
   include("flashimg.php");
$img = new ih2hFlashImg;
//instantiate the class
$img ->copyRight("© sandosh");
//Assign default copyright message
$img->addImg("sandosh","sandosh_alak.jpg",420,315);
//parameters in order -> name, src, width, height, alt(to override copyright msg)

3. Include this file in your pages and use
   $img->displayImg("sandosh");
   to display the flashimg, where parameter is the image name.
4. All done!

Feel free to use this code and also if possible do drop in a line on which site you are using it.

Enjoy!
