Copying website files into Dreamweaver to work on...

A basic question whose answer I'm having a brain freeze on.
Need to pick a site to work on for a Dreamweaver class. How would I
access all the files that make up a site and then copy them over to
Dreamweaver to work on them locally. View source? HTML? Tried
viewing source on the main page of one site and only got a notepad
file.
Thanks for any help.
P.S.--I might've gotten my answer. Copy the source code on
the notepad and pasted in the code section of Dreamweaver. Page is
visible in the design section but it's probably outside my root
folder. Will have to check that next.

HTML is only plain text. Notepad is a good HTML editor! You
have one
possible solution.

Help please copying, importing files into Dreamweaver

Hello,
I am having trouble imporitng files into dreamweaver from Godady. What is my best route.
I downloaded Filezilla and connect my ISP, Hosting and passwords and successfuly my files loaded to filezilla.
I am perplexed at the next step as to how to get my files from FileZilla to Dreamweaver.
I am connected with the hosting, isp and file server as it shows in the box on the right.
I simply at the end of the day just want to make a few edits to content.

You can create a site in DW and download all the files using the "Get" action...
In DW go to Site > New Site
Give it a name (and an http address if you want)
When it asks "Where on your computer do you want to store your files? you can use the default folder it creates, or browse to a specific place
Next enter in all of your FTP info (like Filezilla)
Once you're finished, you should be presented with a FILES tab that shows your new empty folder.
Click the little extension cord plug-in icon on the left of that palette. This will connect to your site. Once connected, you can click the "Get" button, it's the down arrow in the same pallette.
This will download your entire site to your desktop as it currently exists. From here on out, you just modify your local file, then connect and "Put" the changed files.

Need help importing files into Dreamweaver CS5.5

Greetings,
Currently I have website that is hosted on GoDaddy.com http://www.4thdist.org/home.php . This site was created by another person that is not available to help with my problem. I am attempting to modify or edit this website using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and having difficulties loading the files into Dreamweaver.
First, using Filezilla I downloaded all the files and folders to my PC. At this point, I am stuck and cannot figure out how to upload or open the files and really need some advice. I read the Adobe help section on "importing" and it describes a .ste file. I searched the download folder and cannot find any file (*.ste)
I am hoping to salvage the site and not have to reinvent the wheel and start over. Any advice would be extrmely helpful........Gary

Thanks for the quick reply.
Your comments raised some new questions. Let me update all on where I am. First, I am able to connect to GoDaddy server via the the local and remote views in the bottom right corner of DW. I see the file folder structure on GoDaddy. I can also see the file structure on my local hardrive that I copied using filezilla. Although, using the server connection I notice that I can download the files using this connection now. Should I delete what I did via filezilla and start over using the romote server connection? One more problem. I have content for two (2) websites on the remote server. http://www.vfwstatepoolleague.org/ This is in addition to the listed in my original post. Although, it appears the other website content is in a seperate folder. I assume that I will need to separtate this content somehow. At least link to it when I begin to start to create a .ste file for each site.
I started to read the article "Creating your first website"in your post and should be very helpful. I did run into a little road block.
I created (2) site names and linked to the appropriate folder on my hard drive. Although, I do not have: "check_cs5" folder on my local or remote folder. What does that mean? Should I create one?

Problems Importing Files Into Dreamweaver

I have previously imported files in Dreamweaver by dragging them from my desktop & dropping them into my websites local files. Suddenly today, I can't get any files to import into Dreamweaver. I am using Dreamweaver 13.2 on a Mac with OS 10.9.2.

Nothing. I drag the files from my desktop to the target folder in Dreamweaver, and nothing happens. I have tried shutting everything down & bringing it all back up, and I have also tried re-saving the file to the desktop. I was putting an html file into Dreamweaver when I noticed it wasn't working, so I tried a Word doc & PDF, all with same results. Out of desperation, I just tried re-synching my website, but (as I expected), nothing changed.

Unable to Insert Adobe Edge Animate files into Dreamweaver CS6!

I have just tried the new Insert Edge Media feature in the new Cloud version of Dreamweaver CS6, but I can't get it to work!!
I have the option, but all the files in the Edge folder are unhighlighted (grey'd out) and I am unable to select anything Edge has published. I have noticed that the file extension has recently changed from .edge to .an with the launch of Animate.. Is this the problem?
Its a shame as its really quite tricky to put edge stuff into a web page at present..
Any ideas?
Wesley

Do you have an HTML5 web document open?
Below are instructions from the DW CS6 Reference document
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/dreamweaver_reference.pdf
Import Edge Animate compositions | Creative Cloud
This feature is available for Creative Cloud members and point product subscribers only.
You can import Adobe Edge Animate compositions (OAM files) into Dreamweaver. The composition is placed at the location of the cursor. Dreamweaver extracts the contents of the imported OAM file to a folder named edgeanimate assets. You can change the default location in the Site Setup dialog.
1. Ensure that your cursor is at the location where you want to insert the Edge Animate composition.
2. Select Insert > Media > Edge Animate Composition.
3. Navigate to the location in your computer containing the OAM file, and open it. The animation is placed at the specified location.
By default, the contents of the OAM file are extracted to the edgeanimate_assets folder. A sub folder with the name of the file is created. The contents of the OAM file are placed in the Assets folder under this location.
You can place Edge Animate Compositions into individual pages not part of any site. The files are extracted to the location of the page.
Location of extracted files
     A. The edgeanimate_assets folder
     B. The folder created using the file name of the OAM file
     C. The Assets folder containing the extracted files
4. Preview the inserted Edge Animate composition in a browser or in the Live View.
Change default location for extracted files
1. Open the Site Setup dialog for your site.
2. Under Advanced Settings, select Edge Animate Assets.
3. In Asset Folder, modify the location for extracted files

Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

Video is not scaling properly when importing a flv file into dreamweaver

Hi I have recently imported a flv video into dreamweaver and i have specified the width and height (including skin size) but i keep getting white margins at the bottom or the top of the video. It has nothing to do with the css because ive checked and when i change the size of the video in the html file it worked for some browers - google chrome, firefox but still had the white border on internet explorer. I dont understand why different browers are rendering a video width and height different and whats causing the white borders to be there in the first place. Can anyone help me with this?
I have spent two weeks trying to sort this out after failing to add a clickable thumbnail to play the video as the video image on the site is black which doesnt look very good. Is there any way that i can choose the thumbnail that flash player decides to feature for the video? I know you can do this with youtube videos.
website in question - www.juanajimenezflamenco.co.uk/videos.html

I just don't see any white border on the right hand videos... if the problem continues, post a screen shot of what you are seeing. Also, 250 x 199 is not a 4:3 aspect ratio... 250/4 = 62.5, 62.5x3= 187.5.... so you are off by 11 pixels or so. Correct height for a 250 wide video shot at 4:3 aspect ratio, is 188px.
Now on the left hand YouTube videos, the controls are under the video, not over the top of the video as the right hand videos are... so the height of the <object>.... not the video itself... the <object> needs to be tall enough to hold the video and the controls (video height + controls height).
And since you are working in standard 4:3 aspect ratio video, you need to be careful to select the correct pixel shape, square or rectangle when starting any video project. Your video editing program, Premiere Elements should allow you to select between square pixels (used in computer monitors) or rectangle pixels (used in TVs). Selecting the wrong shaped pixel at the very start of the video capture process can mean distorted video once you render the project.
Because TV pixels are rectangle, slightly taller than they are wide... it doesn't take as many rectangle TV pixels to equal the same height as square computor monitor pixels. For example, when you start a video project to output to DVD (TV viewing) you would choose rectangle pixels, so a 720 x 480 video dimensions would give you the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.... for TV.... but 720 x 480 is NOT a 4:3 aspect ratio mathmatically ... 720/4=180, 180x3=540 !! So for computer monitor viewing you would select square pixels at the very start of your video capture process and capture the video at 720x540, giving you the correct video aspect ratio for viewing on monitors.
So besides setting the correct aspect ratio for the video in the <object> be sure that you started with the correct pixel shape.
This might also give you some help... or just Google "square vs rectangle pixels" for more info:

Getting an error while copying pdf file into RMS enabled document library using copyTo() method

In SharePoint 2010, I am trying to copy pdf file programmatically from a non-RMS protected document library into RMS protected library using copyTo() method.
But I am getting an error while doing so. it gives error as mentioned below -
This library does not accept files of the given type. You must either upload a

Copy a file into multiple folders action

Hello All,
I'm looking for help with a seemingly difficult action; I want to copy a text file into every folder within a location, if its not already there.
I have over 100 projects ready to go out, and need to add a copyright notice .rtf file into each folder. Is there a way I can get Automator to do this? It would save me some time now, and certainly in the future.
Thanks.

You should no longer use the utl_file_dir parameter as this has been deprecated by Oracle and replaced with directory objects. Setting the utl_file_dir parameter will leave your file system open to users corrupting files if you are not careful. This parameter should be unset of any value if it has any value set in it and you should set up directory objects instead.
The correct thing to do is to create a directory object e.g.:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY mydir AS 'c:\myfiles';Note: This does not create the directory on the file system. You have to do that yourself and ensure that oracle has permission to read/write to that file system directory.
Then, grant permission to the users who require access e.g....
GRANT READ,WRITE ON DIRECTORY mydir TO myuser;Then use that directory object inside your FOPEN statement e.g.
fh := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('MYDIR', 'myfile.txt', 'r');Note: You MUST specify the directory object name in quotes and in UPPER case for this to work as it is a string that is referring to a database object name which will have been stored in uppercase by default.

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>

Embedding MP3 files into dreamweaver webpage

I've embedded mp3 files into my webpage, but every time someone opens the page, they are prompted to either open or save the file. I want the viewer to be able to play the song using the embedded player, without the prompt.

Embedded players are very old school. And it won't work for many since they need a player and appropriate browser plugins installed on their end. The modern approach is HTML5 <audio> which is widely supported by all browsers, including mobile and tablets. For an example of HTML5 audio, copy and paste this code into a new, blank document.

Why does Encore copy the file into Cache?

It seems that Encore will copy the m2v file into ProjectDir/Cache\Media Cache Files\mlf.cache.MACC
The file is rather large, nearly 4 GB (2gb for each ac3 file).
I used to run the previous version and I don't think it makes copy in Cache.
Why does Encore do that?
Any way to make Encore just use the m2v file directly without copying it into Cache?
Thanks!

Same prob for me. Very annoying becuz the program itself is very useful, probably the best dvd menu making system ever but I was tryin to set up an audio dvd wit my own design, prepared sound files like converted them all to ac3 format but every time it is the same, despite deleting cache, the program recreates and doubles these unknown file types of large size taking up irrationally large space. A normal dvd size of 4.7 gbytes to set up would in this case require 50 gbytes or more as I have calculated. More than ten times larger than one dvd. Ridiculous.
If there's no need for transcode by file format ac3, then why should they time after time be stored in cache mostly taking up double space ? It should be working as cd or dvd write where you're offered two options, either creating an image file on hard disk or on the fly which doesn't take any space of the disk and is more direct.
So what should I do now ? Look for another program or surrender this one and let it eat up more than 50 gigas ?
Awful situation is I don't have time to look after programs.
But I ain't got this amount of disk space either.
My project must be ready in a few days but no hope for that like this.
Help me, it's urgent. Thank you.

Problems putting published director files into dreamweaver

Hi, Im a recently graduated Graphic Designer and I'm on my
first job creating a website for a printing company. Anyway the
issues im having are, ive created a small interactive director
movie to go on the home page, it has the same kind of feel to the
flash on the home page of www.samsung.com. So ive published it and
put it into dreamweaver and previewed it, and it worked fine. but
when my boss tried it on his computer its not working due to the
fact he needs to download the most recent shockwave software, but
he doesnt want to do this and argues that he never downloads
software updates, and if he doesnt then its most likely his clients
wont either. I need to know if theres a way of gettin it to work
anyway. I have flash on the site and that works fine its just the
director stuff that wont. Ive tried creating it in flash but im
having problems, with the rollovers it wont do the same things
director will, and i dont know how to use the actions buttons
properly.
Any help anyone could give would be very much appreciated.
Thanks From Nikky

Hi Nikky,
The Shockwave plugin is required for viewing Director content
on the web. And so if
someone doesn't have it and doesn't want to download it, that
person won't be able
to view the content.
The Flash plugin is installed on a far greater amount of
computers. Recent stats
say that something like 97% (or thereabouts) of web users
have the Flash plugin
while only 50% or so have the Shockwave plugin. So, designing
with Flash is easier
in that respect.
Director Shockwave is used more for specialised purposes on
the web rather than an
all purpose site. So, if the plugin is an issue for your
project and you can
achieve the same things in Flash, then Flash should be your
tool to use. If you're
doing something that's just not possible in Flash, for
example real-time 3D, then
you'd argue that the Director is required and the price to
pay for having that type
of content is that your visitors will need to download the
plugin to view it.
Whether you're using Flash or Shockwave, it's a good idea to
warn your visitors
before they enter that page that the plugin is required and
that they may need to
install a newer version. People will be more suspicious and
hesitant to install
something that seems to be forced on them rather than offered
in softer manner.
Hope that's helpful. Good luck with your project.

Adding a .flv file into dreamweaver

I'm wondering how I can put a .flv file into a web page. It
is not a .swf. I'm working with Dreamweaver MX 2004.
When I put my .flv video into the page, it refuses to accept
it when I want to preview. Any suggestions? Source plugins required
or something? Also, I'm working on a Mac.
The .flv file is mine, not created in flash, but pulled back
from daily motion.com where it was compressed by their servers and
is an .flv file. Is this doable?

You need a Flash file to load the Flash Video file, they are
not the
same. See this
