Animation With Dreamweave??

Day u'alll!
I was just wondering if anyone in hear can help me!
Is it possable to do very, very simple animation in
dreamweaver for example! Here you will see what I want to make in
Dreamweaver. This is an all flash site>
http://www.topangamountainschool.org
click the "enter" button after the preLoader. And you'll see the
buttons along the top of the page very simple 5-6 frame animated
buttons.
Can this be done in Dreamweaver without inporting any flash?
If so let me know or (even better) point me to a tutorial.
I'm having no joy findding anything.
Havent been using Dreamweaver all that long but I'm getting
to like it more every day! More of a flash person!
Thanks all!

Dreamweaver doesn't create graphics/Flash content (except
Flash Text and
built-in Flash Buttons). You'd need to create your buttons
outside of DW
in Flash or something else. If you don't want Flash, you can
probably
emulate those buttons using an animated GIF created in
Photoshop CS3 (or
ImageReady CS2). There's likely another way with a bunch of
JavaScript,
CSS, AJAX - but I think an animated GIF is you best non-Flash
bet.

Get border when resizing flash anim in dreamweaver

Hello, I'm needing some help , I'm not sure weather its something i'm doing in dreamweaver or weather I need to export the flash anim with the document properties just a little bit smaller than the flash anim when exporting when in theory shouldn't have to do?
the problem I'm having is I export a flash anim out of flash I make sure the document properties and the flash anim line up so theres no visible boarder when exiting.
when I'm at the button stage and drag onto the stage to be able to export, ( sometimes I find that the flash border - say if my anim is 220 by 185 . when i click on it (dragged button with movie inside from libarary to stage)
the stage - as I am told I can't export a flash anim with an alpha white off the flash stage I have to make the stage the same size as the button -
So i make the stage size 220 by 185 when I'm dragging the button to line up to the stage I find sometimes its off?
Is there a better way to export a flash anim as it is without having to change stage properties then dragging the button to fit the stage then get url options ect.
anyways. I am finding that I am having to make the stage size (in flash ) a few extra pixels smaller than the box button 220 by 185 so what i'm doing is making the stage say 218 by 183 to then draggin the button inbetween the lines on the doccument border in flash. then exporting.
I find if i Don't do this sometimes in dreamweaver, when I open dreamweaver instert app div then import swf into the app dif then resize the swf I get a boarder.
But even then I find sometimes if i do an app div then insert media swf and resize the swf i get a border, say if i make the boarder properties in flash red.
sometimes I get a red boarder.
but on other pages say i have a about page I resized it its fine then on another page import app dive then impor the exact same swf file resize it it suddenly gets a boarder (i'm testing using red backround in flash when exporting as a movie.
why do sometimes I get a boarder around swf in an app div when importing into dreamweaver.
thanks kindly

I read this twice and still don't quite know what you're asking. Flash questions are best posted in the Flash forum.
Animations used in Web pages should be sized appropriately before you bring them into Dreamweaver. Same goes for static images. If you need a 200px wide banner, design it at 200px wide.
As for APDivs, honestly don't know why you would need one. A regular CSS division (no positioning) is all that's required for 98% of layouts. http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
For answers to layout questions, we need a link to your test page.

Place fixed flash animation in Dreamweaver

Hi All,
I am a complete beginner with Dreamweaver, and having great
problems fixing the size of a flash animation I'm playing as an
intro. I have managed to get the animation in and it centred, but
when I tested it on another computer I noticed it had stretched and
for some reason it was possible to minimise the animation by using
the + and - signs whilst in the browser window. How can I prevent
this from happening, so no matter what machine you view from it
keeps the size and position the same.
Any advice will be much appreciated.

Hi
You will have to place your code for the flash file inside the code for the picture frame. If you have used the picture frame as a background image then position your flash file using a combination of css rules as required.
Another way (if you have flash pro), is to use the picture frame as a skin for your flash file.

Integrating Flash HTML5 animation into Dreamweaver?

I've done a little work with Edge Animate and found it simple to implement an animation into Dreamweaver. However, my latest animation had to be done in Flash (plus I know that software a little better) and I notice CC now has an HTML5 canvas.
So if I create an animation in Flash CC on an html5 canvas, how would I go about using that on a dreamweaver page?
Or would I be better off asking in the flash forums?
Thank you in advance!

Edge Animate has auto insertion features in DW. Unfortunately, there is no such provision for Flash HTML5 animations yet. So you must do it manually in code view. Take the Flash compiled code and insert the relevant parts into your existing HTML5 document. Ensure that paths to JavaScripts and CSS files are correctly pointing to your site folder and not files:/// on your hard drive.
Flash/SWF is not supported on mobile devices/tablets. That's why Flash/SWF is a dead web technology.

Centre flash animation into dreamweaver

You'll probably need to spend time learning how to create things in Flash--maybe try lynda.com. Flash can be used for the animation and mouse interaction revealing text. Once you are able to create the animation in Flash, you can have Flash publish both the swf file, which is what goes into the web page, and an html file. You can copy the code from the Flash html file into the Dreamweaver file wherever you intend the Flash file to be inserted.

Problem with dreamweaver and Flash

Hi, maybe someone can help me, i have any problem with
dreamweaver and flash, i have a page and i have a menu and
sub-menu, and the same page i have a category en flash 550 x 700 (
photography and more... ) but when the menu to unfold
the menu to see under flash and it cant see ( sorry my
english is bad.... i hope you can understand me, and help me.. )
i dont now why always flash ever stay up, or first, and
another information under flash... this a problem... if you have
menus...
thanks.... have nice day.....

This is a drawback of using flash or any other active
content. By default, all active content including flash will
display over every other content and thats why your menu stays
under the flash movie. Some people make the flash background
transparent to show content under the flash movie, but that will
not work for menu items.
I would suggest that you make the menu such that it does not
overlap with the flash movie.

Creating animations with transparent backgrounds?

I'm running into some problems when using After Effects to create animations with transparent backgrounds for Keynote...
I use animated gifs and short quicktime movies with uniform backgrounds as source files, use color keying to take out the backgrounds, preview them to see if they look OK, render the results as RGB+alpha, and... they don't show up as transparent in Keynote. They work in Powerpoint, however. I've tried outputting as .mov, as .gif, as premultiplied vs straight alpha... no joy. Can someone explain (or point me to an explanation) of how Keynote differs from other programs in its handling of transparency? What am I missing?

Using a TYPE_INT_ARGB BufferedImage worked beautifully. I had played around with Image for hours, but it never occurred to me that BufferedImage would be needed. :)
many, many thanks,
Steven

Using PSP with Dreamweaver

Using Dreamweaver to create PSP pages can become effortless and allow developers to rapidly generate thin-client, web based applications. Anything that can be accomplished with an ASP, PHP, JSP or any type of dynamic web page that also incorporates Javascript, can easily be created with PSP.
I've proven to management at my company that given similar application requirements, writing and deploying PSP pages is a much faster development cycle. And, in ALL cases, execution time is much faster and with a smaller application footprint.
When using these scripts together with Dreamweaver you can create a Rapid Application Development environment all by using PL/SQL Server Pages.
The batch file LOAD_PSP.bat will create a PSP file from your HTM file, creates a timestamped backup copy, and loads the PSP file into the database - all fast and easy.
Copy these batch files to your development directory and create a backup directory called Backup. Simply modify these batch files by adding the service name of your database to DB_NAME and adding your development username and password to the PSP_CONNECT variables. You should also change the path of your Oracle Home for the ORACLE_HOME variable as well.
To use these batch files, simply open a DOS Window and change it to your development directory where the batch files reside. Execute the batch files with the syntax, "LOAD_PSP web_page [optional connect string]" and the batch file will execute (don't add the .htm extension).
To allow you to maintain some sense of versioning, use the CH_PSP.bat script. This script simply adds a CHKPNT extension to the file name in the Backup folder. The reason for this is that LOAD_PSP will still copy PSP backup files of those compilations that fail and these should be removed. When you application is working, you can create a "CHECKPOINT" of the PSP file that you know works. This allows you to only maintain backup copies that you know work. Simply use the syntax "CH_PSP web_page". To perform a CHECKPOINT on all files in a folder, use the syntax "CH_PSP /ALL".
To view help for each, simply run the batch file followed by a /? or /help.
In closing, challenge a Java developer to create a dynamic, web-based, database driven app from scratch and win the top 3 challenges: Development time, size of application and speed of the application. I'll bet the PSP app wins all 3 every time.

Yes, I can bring the CF administrator screen. It asked me for
a password, the one I entered during the install of CF.
No I have created a mdb database and in the administrator
screen I registered the data source.
I am using the built-in CF web server.
I was trying to create a directory for a testing web page (
just to get me started...) in my computer, tipically in the
"myDocuments" folder and then upload it to the CFweb server.
Now I am reading the CF documentation in the adobe site,
using the samples they provide.
I guess it will be a long way to learn but I will do it

How do i create an animation with one frame for each layer?

I have 76 sequential images that i've loaded as layers using bridge, then aligned using photoshop.
I would now like to create a 76 frame animation with one animation frame for each layer
(the layers are in sequential order).
is there an easy way to do this
or do i have to create 76 frames (can duplicate multiple to speed it up)
then set layer visibility for each frame?

You called it: your links to the SpryAssets are linking to your hard drive, not to the files within the folder on the server.
Correct these links:
<script src="file:///C:/Users/work/Desktop/Sites/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="file:///C:/Users/work/Desktop/Sites/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
And you should be good to go.

Using a MsAccess database with Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi Everyone,
I have a question concerning using a Microsoft Access Database with Dreamweaver.
First, I was wondering if this was possible. Second, if it is, could someone give me instructions or a link on how to do this. I am pretty new to Dreamweaver, code, etc..., so simpler instructions on how to acheive this would be great.
Here is some information...
1) I am running Windows XP SP2
2) I am using Microsoft Office 2003 (Acces included)
3) I am using Dreamweaver CS4
4) I have installed XAMMP (Apache,MySQL, FileZilla, and PHPmyAdmin, as far as I know)
If anyone needs more information, I'll be hapy to share it as soon as possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Musicman1994

The choice of database really depends on which server-side technology you plan to use, and what you're actually planning to use it for.
Access was designed to create databases for small office systems. Although I personally found it very confusing, a lot of people like it and say it's easy to use. However, its major drawback is that it creates very large files; and as soon as the website gets a reasonable amount of traffic, Access has a tendency to freeze or lock up. You can create your database in Access and then export it to another database system, such as Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL. But it's better to start with the database that you ultimately plan using.
I certainly wouldn't recommend developing anything in ASP and then attempting to convert the website to PHP. Although all server-side programs share common features and structures, the code is completely different. So, take some time over choosing your technology first. If you have never developed in ASP, you should be aware that Microsoft stopped developing it about ten years ago. It's still popular and widely available, but ASP is likely to dwindle in usefulness as the years go by. Use PHP or ColdFusion, both of which are supported by Dreamweaver. The other main alternative is ASP.NET, but that's no longer supported by Dreamweaver.

What's up with DreamWeaver CS4?

D/W tells me it can't find the root folder so I go to "mangae sites", then edit, and show it where the site is located on my desktop, and I get this error message.
Then when I try to upload a file to my website I get this error message.
And yes I'd buy CS6 if I could afford it, who wouldn't. But $50 bucks a month is not something I can afford right now.
And it happens over and over again. I won't allow me to fix it. Even after many attempts. Has anybody an answer to this problem. Oh, and I'm using CS4 with Mac OS X version 10.9. I've been using this for years and have never had a problem till I bought a new MacBook Pro.
Thanks for your help, before the fact.

Thanks but I¹ve done that and it just keeps asking me to click on ³manage
site² and do it over and over again. I¹m wondering if perhaps when I bought
this new computer, and the had me change my user name on the computer by
putting a ³1² after it, if somehow that screwed the whole thing up and it
can no longer recognize any of it as a result?
