Printing Pictures with a X on them to eliminate theft of design 1

[bundyld]

I am creating a web page for a Tattoo shop in OH. I created the site in flash 5.0. The owners of the shop have decided that it would be best if there was a "X" or something to that affect, across the pictures of there artwork so that some other artist can't steel there work. How would I go about doing this. I need to have the pictures to show up normal if viewing from the web, but if printed then a "X" covering the page to keep from theft of Idea. Any help would be great. Thank You,
Lance

I doubt it can be done, anything viewed can be screen captured and it will also be in the persons temp files, so it would need an 'X' on the picture being displayed.

you could use document.beforePrint="changeImg('print')"
where function changeImg swaps out the imgs then document.afterPrint="changeImg('fix')" use the param to decide which action to use -Greg :-Q

That wouldn't prevent someone from saving the image to their own computer and printing it from there. Have you thought of putting a "watermark" on it using Photoshop? Tracy Dryden

well it can't really be done, that is just one thing out of many that would have to be done to solve the problem as much as possible -Greg :-Q

bundyld,
I wouldn't do this if you didn't have a .edu e-mail address, but since you do...

It's "steal their..." Kevin

Idea: move your images to a passworded file, use onFocus to change the img, and the print thing i said before then the only way they can get the pic is screen capture and print with netscape -Greg :-Q

 

[bundyld]
