Flash SWF links open Dreamweaver

I have created a simple Flash movie that loops three logos. I
want visitors to be able to access each respective website as the
logos cycle through, so I have linked each logo to each company's
website. However, when I play the SWF movie and click any of the
links, Dreamweaver opens and nothing else happens. Is this a Flash
settings problem? A Dreamweaver settings problem?
I did get a message that said "Adobe Flash Player had stopped
a potentially unsafe operation...", but when I clicked the
"Settings" button to change the settings, it opened Dreamweaver
again!
Anybody know how I can fix this?
Thanks for your help.

Upload the file and test online, it will be fine. It's
because html files are probably set by default to open in
Dreamweaver.

Hi Doug
Not sure why Dreamweaver keeps opening, but have you tested
the links after first copying the output files to a web server?
I ask because the behavior from a server is often different
from that of running locally.

Re-sizing flash (.SWF) file in Dreamweaver?

Hi there,
I was wondering if their is a way to actually re-size a .swf in Dreamweaver. When my site is published online it takes approx 1 minute to load the first page. Stupid question but this is my first flash web site, so please bare with me. When uploading my website in Dreamweaver, do I only upload the .html file to the server or I upload everything, including the .swf and the fla (which are the two big files)? For some reason, there is something making my page slow to load and it's very ugly as for 1 minute the user sees a blank white page with Dreamweavers pre-loader.
Thanks

ok , so if I understand correctly...copy/paste my index.swf file only to my dreamweaver folder, nothing else? All my files (index.swf and index.fla, index.html are on my desktop in a folder and my content such as scripts generated by flash and my images are in a subfolder in that folder on my desktop.
Sorry, I am slow to understand loll
Ok so here is my website, even after adding background color to the body, still see white when it loads. I have high speed internet, I can only imagine those who don't. How to fix that?
Other issue... my "shop" button. It seems to work fine, but if I test it out a couple of times, then it will give me an error message that it can't access the external link but no wonder it can't, for some reason it adds an http:http:// twice in the browser. In my case, being http:http://www.etsy.com/shop/natdzign. Huh?? Oh and how can I actually center it so it keeps it centered no matter the size of your monitor? I just realized my website isn't centered. Damn!!!
Keep in mind that when looking at my website, this is my first flash website. I've made html/css websites before however.
www.natdzign.ca
NOTE: For now it works, until I decide to play around with it again, either you will see a under construction page or a error 404 hehe.

Please see my answer to this thread - http://forums.adobe.com/message/2359583#2359583.
If that is not the problem, check the naming of your image links.

Flash swf file in Dreamweaver, the animation does not show.

I inserted a slideshow I created in flash into a html document I created in Dreamweaver and the animation doesn't show in the browser. I just get a blank space. Here's the site link

publish an html file using flash and use that to display your slide show.

Force linked .swf to open in flash player

i have two files i'd like to play sequentially. both have a
flash preloader appended to them. the captivate file is published,
then externally linked to a flash 8 file with a preloader in it.
the first movie opens in flash player, but when it jumps to the
second (linked) file, it opens in firefox. the files are linked
using captivate 2's option in the export preferences area. i've
looked in the xp file type pane, and flash player 8 is specified as
the default player for .swf files.
thanks,
john

hopefully this isn't a total waste of everyone's time, i seem
to have found the answer! though you can specify which file types
are opened by which applications in xp, firefox seems to override
those settings. if you change the file type preferences in firefox
(in this case you need to switch flash movies to open with flash
player and not the shockwave plugin), it will finally open in flash
player.

Type '''about:addons'''<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the
others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective

Do Flash getURL links work when SWF is embedded in Director?

I’ve got a simple test rig that says no, the links
won’t work. Anybody get this to work?
My test rig has two buttons in Flash, one gets a pdf from a
remote server, the other opens a local PDF on my hard drive.
When played from the Flash player the local link works fine,
the remote link looks like it would work if I were willing to
change my security settings and restart.
When embedded in Director both links are inactive.
And, although this is not terribly relevant, when the SWF is
played remotely through a browser, the remote link works

Your Flash .swf is expecting to be housed in an HTML doc, and
so a getURL function is trying to reach out to the browser. When
you import your .swf into a Director movie, that Director movie is
taking the place of the browser window. So your function fails to
reach a browser. This is compounded if you are playing the .swf
from a Director projector as there's no browser immediately
available.
There is a simple solution. You can use the on getURL
me,string function in Director to intercept the url.
So, if your Flash movie has something like this:
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("www.disney.com",_blank);
Then in your Director movie, write a behavior something like
this:
property thisSprite
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
end
on getURL me,link,target
gotoNetPage link,target
end
Then attach that behavior to the Flash sprite.

Opening flash .swf and constraining it to it's original size rather than full-screen

When I open a flash object (.swf) from my desktop to test it, it opens full screen. I would like to constrain it so that it opens to the size it was created, e.g., 800 x 600.

If you open an SWF link directly in a browser tab then you always get the dimensions of that tab. You either have to open the link in a new window and resize it or use the above mentioned bookmarklet code with a keyword and the url as the parameter to replace the %S. Bookmarklet code like that is very handy as you can also use it if Firefox insists in downloading a file (image) and you want to open it in a tab. Of course you need to supply the correct MIME type in that case.

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

1. Because they're using Android or iOS and can't see the Flash container.
2. Because they have Flash Player, but NOT Shockwave, which works for Interactive content like games and links in Flash containers.
3. ActiveX controls are blocking Flash content in IE.
4. Any of about a dozen other things.
As a web desginer since 2003, I can tell you that these days, it's a terrible idea to have Flash content in a website (outside of games that require it). Video should be HTML5. Navigation, content and other links should be HTML, CSS and/or Javascript ONLY, because placing them in a Flash container makes them invisible to literally half of your viewers or more, since SmartPhones can't and don't see Flash, and tablets don't either without special browsers, which may or may not work with embedded links.

Swf files and email links in dreamweaver

Good evening everyone,
Need some help please
I have a button (swf) made in Flash and brought into Dreamweaver to act as an email link when clicked.
When testing, an extra browser window named "untitled" comes up behind the main email window which
pops up fine. I can't figure out where the extra blank "untitled" window is coming from.
swf was made in cs4 with as3 and imported into Dreamweaver cs4.
The following is the code used for the swf file.
var emailLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]");
email_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(emailLink);
Thanks in advance,
[email protected]

The extra browser window will not appear when you run the file live on a server. It is just one of the quirks with local Flash testing.

URL, email links in Flash swf files shows up in search engine

Hi, can you please help? I post this problem a while ago.
My problem is: I developed a website in Flash 8 on the Mac.
The Flash swf file is displayed via Dreamweaver doc. When I do a
search and, when the site is found in Google, all the links used in
the Flash swf file appears in the snippets below the main title. I
would like to know where I'm going wrong, and how can I prevent
Google from displaying the URL and email details.
Do I need to use a preloaded, or do I need to put the Flash
swf movie file in a table in Dreamwever.
Many thanks,
Blue_Mac

>I don't know how this is happening then. Search engine
spiders don't
>read through compiled files like Flash.
Thanks, this is reassuring. Although it seems to have done
just that.
The following action script is where the details are coming
from. I've used the name 'whatever" as an example. I don't mind the
URLs on view as much as I mind my email address because of security
issues.
on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("mailto:[email protected]","_blank");
//End Behavior
I'll check my files again to see if I've miss anything out -
I have done this so many times already.
Regards,
Blue_Mac

SWF file in Dreamweaver will not indicate link

When setting up SWF files in dreamweaver (images), I cannot
get the arrow to switch to a hand indicating that it is an active
link to the user. Any suggests...I think this must be a simple fix
but cannot find it. I want the SWF picture to have a hand over it
to indicate that it is a link.
Dan

You cannot apply a link to any applet in HTML. That would
have to be done
in the Applet's respective scripting, and in your case, that
would be the
Flash Actionscript. Bear in mind that you should never use an
Applet for
site navigation anyhow, unless you also provide redundant
equivalent HTML
navigation, both for SEO and for accessability purposes.

Integrating Flash swf or html with Dreamweaver

I created a swf file to replace my current static background image (page properties) in dreamweaver (the files are the same dimensions). When I try to select it, the swf file is grayed out. So I deleted the background image and inserted the flash swf with a transparent bkgd. When I preview it in my browser (safari) it doesn't work. I like the position of the static file and would like the swf to stay in the same place to compensate for different user monitor sizes. Please Help!!!!
The current/live site is http://www.sistercirclemedina.com you will see the static image (header_11_01.jpg). I added the revised homepage (index.html) to my site you can find that at http://www.481gddr.com/sistercircle/index.html The script files required are in a script folder on the hosting server. I also inserted the swf into a completely new dreamweaver document and it does not work.
If the swf file won't work...why? Should I try to use the js and input that into the dreamweaver code?
Thank you so much for your assistance and time.

Check, if all the paths in your projects are "relative" paths.
If you drag&drop files or link in dreamweaver, DW will most likely use absolute paths.
Then when you upload your files, some of this paths won`t exist.
I also inserted the swf into a completely new dreamweaver document and it does not work.
You cant really "insert" a swf into a dreamweaver document.
DW in this case does nothing else then telling the browser (via the <flash> tag where to find the swf. that has to go into a <div>

The email and links work fully on any pc and will work on the mac if i download the swf file to my desktop.
