Editing a Web site SWF file

Funky, allow me to try again. right words are difficult for
me come by but I try.
I have a Web site that uses a 260K Swf file for presentation.
My original designer is no longer available.
I am trying to make changes to update some of the info on the
site. I have been able to update jpeg images
in photo gallery which is an external xml file to and opened
by the swf file. additionally I have updated some of the
images within the "master" swf file using Eltima decompiler
software.
I am now try to update some of the Static Text files within
the "master" swf file.
I am using a MAC with the Eltima Decompiler and CS3 Flash.
This is my first attempt to update/edit
Static text.
If you could quide me toward a correct course, I would
appreciate it.
I open the "master" swf in eltima and extract only "text" I
am not doing anything with images, buttons etc.
I convert that ouput into Fla. A "master"_conv_fla file is
created along with a folder called text that has multiple
Static Text xx.swf file within. The fla file opens in adobe
but doesnt contain the file I want to update.
using Eltima I open the Static text 53.swf, perform an
extract and then convert that to a Static text 53_conv.fla file
that opens in adobe.
Here I am lost. I have used trial and error to get a
response. I might mention that the original designer used Adobe 6.
With the Static text 53_conv.fla file open in adobe I seem to only
be able to make changes when I click on
Edit Symbols. I make changes and do a Save As so that Adobe 8
is used. I assume Adobe 9 might not allow my file to function.
After saving I Export the result back to my computers texts
file. That file then appears as Static text 3.swf.
instead of Static text 53.swf
It has the results I want but I don't know how the make the
changes take in the Static text 53.swf file.
I am not even sure the steps I have taken above are even
correct. It was all I could do to get any result.
Your guidance would be appreciated

I'm a relatively new convert to a Mac and I have to say that this is the first time I have been disappointed by my choice.
I have quite a few webs that I maintained with FrontPage and now I will have to drop them because I can't take the time to re-do each page within the sites just because I can't import the html coding into iWeb.
It would be nice if the authors could make iWeb a bit more friendly in that regard. Even if only the basic layout, text, images and/or image holders could be imported, that would help.

I'm using 3.6 &have a question 1st. I edit a web site English. WhenI updated awhile ago to another upgrade, the only way to edit was "iusing code". My question is, if I upgrade to yur latest verious, will it still allow me to edit in English, not code.

I edit a web site using regular English language.
A few months ago I updated to a newer version of Firefox and with that upgrade came the requirement to edit "in code". Therefore, I deleted the newer version and went back to 3.??.
I am interested in updating to your latest version, but I do not want to unless you can veriy that I can continue editing this web site in regular English

How to edit or modify a .swf file?

I am trying to edit a .swf file and make some changes in the css styles.How to edit or modify a .swf file?

You need the fla file that created the swf. You edit the fla and publish the swf. Swf's don't usually involve css styles.

Editing a web site page

I recently published an iWeb page to .Mac. I then edited that page in iWeb but when I accessed the site with a browser, the editing changes were not there.
I went back to iWeb and the changes were there, so I published the page thinking it would replace the original page. Not so.
How do I make changes so that others can access my web site with a browser and view the changes?

I know this sounds very basic, but apart from the cache, I always make sure after editing, that I click File/Save. Early on, in January, I found one particular edit didn't kick in when I published - the second time I saved before publishing, and it did the trick.

Editing a web site using windows that was made with iweb using a MAC

I published my web site using iweb with my MBP, but at times would like to edit it when I'm running windows. Anyone know how to do it?

You can't. To edit a site created by iweb, you must be using a mac with iweb installed and also with the Domain file installed that was used to create the site.

Of course you can mess with the html and other files created by iWeb with any app you please, but any changes will be overwritten if you republish from iWeb later.

Editing existing web-sites

Hi,
Can iWeb edit web-sites that have been created with another application, and if so, how?
Thanks, Tristan

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the response; I was afraid I was overlooking something simple. I did try dragging site folders and files onto the application, and iWeb did not "activate", consistent with what you wrote. ...Dang!
Cheers, Tristan
P.S.: Tom, I believe you did answer my question, but I'll wait a couple of days just in case somebody chimes in with an unexpected twist.

Standard Edition - Single Web Site/Application?

Hi,
I hope I am posting at the right section of the forum...
I'm considering using Coldfusion for our company intranet.
However, reading the difference editions availabe, I notice that
the standard edition is only allowed for "a single web site/single
application."
So what is Adobe's definition of "an application?" If our
"application" provides many functions to different departments of
the company, does it count as one application or multiple
applications?
Thanks in advance for any answers, comments or suggestions.

There as always been some confusion one the term
'Application'. When
talking ColdFusion editions, it is ColdFusion itself that is
the
application. With Standard you can have one ColdFusion
application
installed on a given box up to 2 cpu's per license. With
Enterprise you
can have as many ColdFusion applications as you feel
comfortable loading
onto a given box, again up to 2 cpu's per license.
Each of these ColdFusion applications whether Standard or
Enterprise can
have as many web sites as you care to load it down with
connected to it.

Incorrect PDF scaling for web site jpeg files

So, I'm not sure if anyone else find this frustrating. When working on a new web design either in Illustrator or Photoshop, etc. and then exporting those to a jpg file, then taking those and combining them into a PDF file using acrobat, I'm seeing the PDF files being about 25% larger than their actual 72dpi web-standard size. So when I pass along the PDF to clients for review, I always have to add a disclaimer that they should set their PDF reader to about 75% to see the actual size of the web site files. 100% is far too big. Any idea why the correctly-sized image files, when imported into Acrobat are increased in size?
I've tried saving them as smaller files... I've tried the cropping feature... none of this seems to solve the problem. It's quite frustrating.
Best,
Russel

Hi,
In Muse, there is no button/widget which allows to upload contents to your site. I would suggest to use third party web form builder, like Jotform, Upload Field Allowed File Types and Embed the form code in Muse and that should work.

Insert Photoshop Web Gallery swf file into Dreamweaver

So i tried to take a shortcut, and created a flash photoshop
web gallery and placed the "gallery.swf" file into my html file in
Dreamweaver. However, it is showing a blank white screen (i'm
guessing it can't find the images?) but when I view it on my hard
drive, it is working fine, just not in dreamweaver or any browser,
even after I upload to my server. Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated!! I've also tried pasting the body html code from
"index.htm" that photoshop creates, as well as move my image files
to the root folder where the swf is, but that doesn't work either.
I have my scripts in the same directory, and not in
subfolders.

That page is very different from the code you posted and I
know nothing
about Geoff Stearns' FlashObject code.
For the above link, I see nothing in the source code that
attempts to
load a .swf file. However, it is linking to
AC_RunActiveCon.js file in
the wrong place:
GET /dyers/assets/flash/pages/AC_RunActiveContent.js HTTP/1.1
Referer:
http://www.micromediapubs2.com/dyers/portfolio.html
HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found
The file is actually here:
/dyers/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
So if you actually do have a page in the dyers/ folder that
links to a
.swf file, just make sure the link to the .js file is
correct.
Most likely, change this:
<script src="assets/flash/pages/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
to this:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>

Editing a web site created in MS Front Page

This may be a very simple question with a very simple answer:
If a web site has been created, and was maintained, on a PC - how easy is it to take ownership and edit it using a Mac? (I am not a developer or anything close hence the possible stupidity of the question!)
Thanks in advance!

Flash site - swf file too large

Hello,
I have created a website using Flash CS5 using AS2. The site was completely custom designed using Photoshop and in then imported into Flash. The site has all of the pages in the main timeline on different keyframes, so say frame 2 is home, and frame 3 is services, etc. This is a site for my design portfolio so I have probably 5 galleries that I have made, but they are very simple, one frame will have the first picture, the next frame will have the second picture and so on. I have gotten my site exactly how I want it and works how I want it... but in the end the .swf file when published, is over 9MB which I know is wayyyyyy too large for a flash site that works fast for everyone.
So how can I make this file size smaller. I am fairly new to this, although I had no problem getting my buttons to navigate with actionscript no problem, but my actionscript knowledge is very limited beyond that. I'm not sure where to go with this site to make the size smaller, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can send someone the fla file to look at if needed.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Maybe you can help me a little more.
I looked up some tutorials having to do with the AS2 xml galleries, and I found that almost all of them were for galleries with fancy scrolling options and slider bars, etc.
My galleries are very very basic, thumbs are layed out on the left, click one and the image appears on the right. I'm not the best at using the actionscript and knowing what to do with all of it. So some of the tutorials made sense about getting files to load dynamically, but I'm not sure what code to keep in for my gallery, and what code to take out that I dont need for all the fancy effects.
my site is http://www.mrolfedesigns.com
as you can see, the galleries are pretty simple, I would like to keep them that way, and not have any complex scrolling or slider bars. Ive searched a lot into looking for some more simple tutorials, but am not finding any great ones that I can use.

Two web sites, one file folder

I have two similar but distinct web sites, hawkdesign.net and hawkexhibitdesign.com. These are both hosted by the same ISP, and share the same login credentials. I have long used hawkdesign.net, and am now trying to populate hawkexhibitdesign.com with the site files. However, even though I have created hawkexhibitdesign.com as a new site in Dreamweaver, when I connect it loads the hawkdesign.net site files. These sites share some file names, so I don't want to overwrite existing files. Plus, all of the unnecessary hawkdesign.net files only create confusion when trying to manage hawkexhibitdesign.com. Because Dreamweaver is a third party application, the ISP won't help with this. Can you?

Where these sites are hosted remotely, is it safe to assume they are in different directories on the remote server? It sounds as though this is a shared account with a secondary domain living inside the primary domain at the host. Thus the can use the same login. If that is the case, in the Site Settings you can change the root directory to be that of the secondary domain when you have the secondary site defined in DW. On your local computer these sites do not need to live inside one another, in fact, I would probably recommend that you separate them even if one lives inside the other on the remote server.
If that is not the case, we may need a little further explanation about your scenario.

Opening and saving from web site pdf file

I found a site where you can download many pdf file. In order to automatize the process i would create a vi using activex.
i generate some url like this "http://remotesite/folder/file1.pdf" and i want the vi open the site, download the page an save the file1.pdf in a desired folder. In this forum there are many examples that solve only half of my problem, in fact they load in a browser the pdf file opening Acrobat reader but i do not know how to save the file.
Thank you
lelluzo

Why do you want to do this with ActiveX?
Try the WinInet: http://www.mooregoodideas.com/goodLabViewStuff.htm
Simply use WinInet Easy Get Url, with a path to the file, and store the data as binary file. I used this a lot for the axact thing to are trying to do. Put the VI in a for loop, and try to automatically build a string that forms the paths to the files. Sometimes, I get the source HTML from a download page, and edit the HTML so I get a multiline string. This forms the input for the loop, and there you go. All your files nicelly on disk. Note that some of these sites will block after a few downloads, to prevent this sort of things.

Wiebe.
