Are There Preset Flash Buttons In Dreamweaver CS4

I have upgraded from Dreamweaver MX to CS4 and I'm looking for preset flash buttons that I can just insert within dreamweaver and I can't find any. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? I don't know how to create flash buttons just yet and If i need to start the journey of learning how please let me know. I'm editing a site I created in MX so I want matching buttons and such lol.

There aren't any flash buttons in DWCS4 anymore see Deprecated features in this link:

No more Flash Buttons in Dreamweaver CS4?

The removal of Flash button extensions are pretty pathetic. How much development money and time does it take to include and already existing feature?
Also, if no one uses them (Ya I was told in a previous post I seen) The why is Microsoft Expression Web including something sort of like them in their software!
The removal of these, after I have bought the already overpriced CS4 from CS3, has prompted me to look at other software development tools.
I been using Dreamweaver since the 1.0 version but now I'm starting to use Expression Studio for my development needs. I think it sucks that simple navigation buttons and includes are removed when they are included in even $20 pieces of Web Development software.
Some idiot actually posted that if someone needs to use navigation extensions, then they should use the CS3 for adding them! Why upgrade then?
For all the money your charging for your software it should make coffee for me too!

I have locked this thread. It's not really a discussion - just a rant. and it's a duplicate of a previous post.

Previewing Flash Button in Dreamweaver

When I insert the Flash Button/Movie into the Dreamweaver doc
and preview in browser, I only see a placeholder.
I created a simple Flash "movie" with some dynamic text
functioning as a button layered over the animation.
It previews fine in flash, and when I play the animation in
the Dreamweaver document it looks fine but when I try to preview it
in the browser from the Dreamweaver document all I see is a Flash
placeholder. Is this something that will change when the page is
published or is there something else I should try?

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate
internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons - and for
these reasons,
Adobe has removed Flash buttons and Flash text from CS4.

Flash buttons in dreamweaver 8

Hi,
i am having a problem with inserting flash button in
dreamweaver 8, when i insert the buttons it appears on the page as
a grey box with "F"(flash) and not displaying the proper text. The
user is a standard windows users and has not administrator
privilidges. but if an administrator loggs into the pc and does the
exact same process then the flash button work.
has anyone come across this problem ? does anyone know how to
resolve
cheers

You'll need to go back into Flash and build the links into the buttons before you create the swf's. Look in the Flash help docs regarding the getURL function as far as the code you'll need for linking. If you have problems, post in the Flash AS1 and AS2 forum.
Beyond that, don't be surprised if some feedback arises here regarding using Flash buttons.

Nothing from Adobe is free beyond the 30 day trial. If you want free software, you'll need to look at plain HTML editors. See link below for options.

Dreamweaver), and when i go to 'test' the site... the buttons will
work when the page first loads(Home)... but if i go to click on a
link, lets say "Contact", the buttons aren't there anymore! And if

Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions to this
problem?!
Thanxs much in advance!!

Do you have the Flash buttons on all web pages was my point.
In other words,
did you have the same Flash buttons on the Contact page?
>>Can someone take a look at my code and see whats
wrong with it?
/intro_buttons.swf
Is the intro_buttons.swf in the web site root folder -- what
/ means? On the
local drive the / could mean the root folder of the computer
if you are not
testing under

Creating buttons in Dreamweaver CS4

I'm designing a website in Dreamweaver and Flash. Everything works perfectly, from the .swf movies that I've put on the site to the simple images as banners. My problem comes when it comes to buttons, the flash buttons simply don't work on some browsers! I guess my main question is, how can I make functional buttons in Dreamweaver, so that they work in any browser (Firefox, Safari, Explorer, etc.)?

If the buttons are in Flash there is no reason they would not work from one browser to the next unless there are underlying issues on the system.
As far as other options you could just design your own background for buttons and use the Spry Menu bar with just one level. That will give it the same effect.

Flash error in dreamweaver CS4

So, I am trying to integrate about 10 or so pics in a flash
format on my site. So whenever anyone opens the site, different
pics flash in a loop. I tried doing this by going to Insert -->
Media --> SWF. And then a little flash icon pops up where I want
the image. Then I got into tag inspector (on the right column)
--> Behaviors --> preload images and using the "+" sign, add
all the images I want. But when I click the "Play" icon (in
properties at the bottom), I get the following error "Unable to
find the plugin that handles this media type. Dreamweaver looks in
both the "Configuration/Plugins" folder and the plugins folder for
each of your installed browsers".
I am not sure what this message means. I checked my adobe
flash version and its updated. Any help would be greatly
appreciated! Also, is this the only way to upload flash images or
is there any other?
Thanks!

I am using Vista so file locations are different. Still, I cannot find any preferences folder or configuration folder that I can rename to recreate. There is no "CreamWeaver" folder in the user profile - even in the hidden parts.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Rename the folder to Configuration_old and launch Dreamweaver. It should create a new Configuration folder with the factory defaults.
On Vista, it's located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration.
It's a hidden folder, so you need to enable hidden folders in Windows Explorer.
Technote:
Try step 4 in the following technote: - corrupt cache file:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19105
If that doesn't work Try #12 - deleting your personal configuration folder.

Help Brining Flash button to Dreamweaver/webpage?!?!

Hello all,
I've created an animated button in flash cs3, and wanted to bring my work onto a webpage. I am using dreamwaver cs4, and want to know how, the only thing I know how to do on dreamweaver is bring in the whole movie clip, but this just won't do... PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
ps: just bringing it onto a webpage is my question...

When you say, "just the button," to what are you referring?
If just the image of the button, export (from Flash) an image.
If you need it to work like the flash button you designed, you will need the whole .swf file (and any auxiliary code).

Flash Buttons in Dreamweaver CS3

P.S. I'm on a Mac with OS 10.4 (tiger)

Adding a url to flash buttons in Dreamweaver

I have a web site built and I have recently added Flash buttons and I need to add my web pages to the buttons. How would I go about doing this?

Let's say you create a button symbol. Since it is a button, it is already a self animating object that will react to mouse interactions, but only visually at this stage. The first thing you need to do to make it useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name. So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it. You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req);

Flash text and flash buttons in DW CS4

Hi,
I have installed DW CS4 on my pc with Vista Home Premium 64
Bit...I have edit my website homepage and I have discovered that I
can't edit all flash text and buttons that I have created with DW
CS3! I have see that the adobe has removed from CS4 version this
option! So, now how I can resolve this problem??
I have try to install also the CS3 version but I don't
understand because I can't no more activated it from internet or
phone option!
I'm very angry for this, now I have to recreate from the
begin all flash text and buttons of my website with other software?
perhaps to buy also the Flash CS4 version for the solution? is this
the new idea of adobe with their new CS4 version?

It was a poor choice on Adobe's part to ever include such an
option, and on
your part for using it. Think about it -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate
internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's almost always a very bad idea for these reasons.
The solution is to make graphics to replace the Flash
elements, or just use
CSS styled text.

Are there any problems with running PPro CS4 under WIN7...?

I've successfully created a dual boot of WIN XP Pro 64-bit and WIN 7 Professional 64-bit on my RAID10, 2-TB drive.
I've been running numerous basic programs successfully under WIN 7. It has been totally stable for over a month and therefore I am about to transition Production Premium CS4 over to the WIN 7 partition from WIN XP where I've been running it for the past two years.
I'm just wondering if there are any consistent problems that have surfaced with this new OS and CS4?
I've looked through the forums and don't see much, so I have high hopes. But in case I've missed something, what should I watch out for?
Intel DX48BT2 mobo, 2.83GHz Q9550 Core2Quad, 8gb DDR3 @1333GHz, nVidia GTX260XXX, 2TB SATA RAID10 drives, 100GB SATA scratch drive, 2 x 1TB eSATA external RAID 10 drives (LaCie & JMicron w/controller card), LG SATA Blu-Ray Burner.
All drivers & updates are current.
TIA,

Having learned that with ADOBE there is always some nightmare scenario, I am stopping in my tracks until I get more information.
I installed (non-trial) Production Premium CS4 in the Win7 partition without problem. Opened PrPro and exported media using Encore and my preferred codec. So far, so good.
As expected, I got the "Excuse the interruption" message telling me that there were already two copies with the same serial number running - I have one on my laptop and the other is, of course, in the Win XP partition on the same computer & hard drive as this new install.
I chose the "30 days to fix the issue" option.
This was so I could migrate my preferences, keyboard & other presets to the Win7 install and confirm their proper operation before activation.
PITA #1 - In XP, presets, prefs, etc., are located in "c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\."
In Win7, they are located in "c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\. This is a hidden folder, so you must go to Folder Options\View and check "Show Hidden Folders." I think this is now in Control Panel\Settings ( I got there through a Help link so I'm not sure, but it is not in the folder headers "Tools" anymore).
PITA #2 - After copying my PrPro presets, prefs, keyboard settings, etc., to the above location, I tried to open PrPro to confirm everything. This was about an hour after my previous session. I now no longer get the "30-day option!!!" Only "Activate" "Buy a License" or "Quit!"
PITA #3 - Since I don't know how Deactivation and Activation work, I am not about to go any further. Since both copies are on the same physical computer and hard drive, they obviously cannot both be online at the same time. I am concerned that whatever happens at Adobe's end of this will not see the deactivation or will not properly activate the new install and then I'll be left with nothing operational. If they cannot keep track of the start date of the new install and wiped out the 30-day test period in an hour, I do not have much confidence that the activation process with go so well. I think there are a limited number of activations as well, and I don't know what that applies to or how that works. I can see a scenario where I have to re-activate the Win XP partition to try and track down something and then get stuck there because I've used up my activations and can't re-activate the Win7 partition.
Anyone have any insights on any of this...???
TIA,
