Chinese Flash buttons
I'm building a site that needs to be in both English and
Chinese. Does anyone know ir there's a way to put Chinese text into
the standard Flash buttons that come with Dreamweaver? I switched
the page properties encoding to unicode 8, which works for the text
on the page, but the Flash button dialogue box doesn't allow
pasting of text into the button. Thanks for the help.
Using Flash for navigation is a very bad idea, you know?

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
davidYou'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. -
Hey Everyone
So i have these Flash buttons on my website(which is done in
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
i go back to "Home" they arent there either!!
Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions to this
problem?!
Thanxs much in advance!!
-Liz>>actually, i do have the OBJECT tags...
>> but if i go to click on a link, lets say "Contact",
the buttons aren't
>> there anymore!
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

Flash buttons won't work in Dreamweaver
Hello,
I recently watched/read tutorials about how to add Flash buttons into Dreamweaver. I followed the instructions perfectly: insert>media>flash button, and played around with that options. After I clicked ok/apply, though, the only thing that popped uo was a little grey box with the "f" Flash logo inside. It could be resized, but thats it. When I tried previewing it in a browser, all I saw was a little box in the color i had set as the BG color. In the properties window, it says "undefined" next to file. I am using CS3on a macbook, and am a beginner with Dreamweaver. Anybody know why this is happening and how i can fix it?
-New userThat's correct. There's no difference. But Flash buttons should be avoided however you make them.
Use text-based CSS formatted buttons instead.
Easier to maintain and update and search engines love them.
Google CSS Buttons and you'll find plenty of tutorials. -
Dreamweaver Flash Buttons Paths
Hello all,
I am a novice site designer. My first challenge is to design a navigation bar once and used by all web pages. I built it using Flash buttons. The concept works fine in a flat file, but when I'm viewing a web page that sits in a different directory than the flash navigation buttons, the buttons point to a file in the current directory which doesn't exist. I want the buttons to still point to the flash files in the parent directory.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS2 to create my flash buttons. I'm using PHP include statements to include my flash navigation bar. When I create the php file in another directory, click on flash button, all heck breaks loose. I look at the URL and the link appends the PHP file that the flash button should be pointing to whatever directory my current web page is in.
It seems like, I should just create each button as a absolute path, http://rootdirectory.com/filename.php, but it still uses relative path when I'm looking at web page that sits in another directory and appends the navigation link to the current directory http://rootdirectory.com/currentdirectory/filename.php although it points to a link in the root or parent directory.
Do I not know how to create flash buttons using the absolute paths?If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
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?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...
Adding in frames makes it even worse - you are in the deep
stuff here. Why
are you using frames?

Adobe Captivate Flash Buttons in Moodle
I am using flash SWF files to control Captivate Course in Moodle and I have trouble with CLOSE pop up window flash button. It works in IE and FIrefox but not in Chrome and OPERA when course is opened via Moodle. I have created simple html page with link that opens pop up window containing the same course and this way the button works in all browsers. ????? Again, in MOOdle it doesn't.
In Chrome Developer Tools I have tracked this error when clicking on close pop up window flash buttom: Ignoring cross-frame javascript URL load requested by plugin.
The button itself is using this AS3:
pbcExit_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myBtnClicked);
function myBtnClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()"), "_parent");
Does anyone have a clue what is the problem?

Dreamweaver Flash Buttons / Frame Navigation in VISTA

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); -
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.

Flash buttons don't appear in browser
I insert a Flash button. It is visible when I preview the
page in a browser that I access from Dreamweaver. But it does not
appear visibly when viewed in a browser independently of
Dreamweaver. A sample of this problem is here:
http://www.newtoncornerneighborhood.org/test.html
I seem, more generally, unable to get any .swf files to
appear visibly using Macintosh Dreamweaver CD3. I did not have this
problem using Dreamweaver MX. Can you help me understand what's
wrong? how to fix this?
Thanks.> But it does not appear visibly when viewed in a
> browser independently of Dreamweaver
You mean when you browse to the file LOCALLY and open it with
the browser?
This is what you SHOULD get if you are using root relative
links, since the
browser has no idea where the root of your site is. In this
case, you would
only see that SWF when you browse to it in DW *AND* you have
enabled preview
with temp files.
