CS3 Web Standard SE. Can't edit Flash buttons

I have an issue where I am unable to edit Flash buttons or
Flash text that have been created in DW CS3.
I am using CS4 Web Standard SE. A colleague of mine is using
the same software and also unable to edit these.
Until now I thought it was maybe a trial issue but have today
activated the software. But the issue remains.
Regards
Dave

It's not a Trial issue. It's a conscious design decision by
Adobe announced
in Aug 07.
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402489
Flash buttons and Flash text have always been ill conceived
features for
webpages.
Adobe recognised this by dropping them from DW CS4.
If you still want to keep them and edit them, use DW CS3.
However, consider using CSS styled buttons instead.

Upgrading from CS3 Web Standard to CS4 Web Premium problems

So I got my CS4 Web Premium upgrade box in the mail yesterday. I'll be starting a big project in about a week or so and figured I'd do the install and familiarize myself with the enhancements and play with PS, as it has been a while. Anyway, I drop the first of the install disks into my XP Pro SP3 laptop and off I go. I enter the serial number for the CS4 which checks good. Hit next at which point it looks for a previous install of a CS product and does not find one. No problem, I think to myself, as there is a space to enter the previous version's serial number. Enter the serial for the previous version (CS3 Web Standard) which results in a no go in resolving the number. The tool suggests I go back and install the trial version and then deal with the issue with Adobe support. Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so could you please share your experiences and/or resolution path?

I did my homework on this one and purchased the "Upgrade from Creative Suite 3.x" offering. The CS3 works like a champ. When I attempt to do the install of CS4 I get the error message when I enter the CS3 serial number. Any thoughts, guidance or suggestions are welcomed. I'm resistant to going the trial version route for fear that I'll not get resolution in time and have my project impacted. I can probably get by with Fireworks, but PS is preferred and the driving reason for the upgrade. Thanks!

CS3 Web Standard Installation Nightmare

I just had to purchase a new computer (my old one was dying) and I've had nothing but NIGHTMARES trying to install just about anything. I just finished spending THREE HOURS installing Acrobat Pro and and am now trying to install Adobe CS3 Web Edition with absolutely no success. I am able to get to the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Standard Installer but almost as soon as I click on the "Next" key to install the software, the CS Installer comes to a grinding halt, the program hangs and refuses to respond - no error messages of anything else that might be useful. What is the problem? I REALLY need to get CS3 Web Standard on my machine ASAP.
Thanks for your help.

Which OS?
What are your computer specs?
Are you installing from a DVD or a downloaded file?

CS3 Web Standard Installer?

Hey guys,
I recently had my CS3 Web Standard disk get ruined and I'm kind of in a jam. I still have my serial key but Adobe is no longer supporting either DVD delivery or downloading it from their website.
Does anyone know where I could find a trial installer? This way I could just enter my serial key in after downloading it.
I'm completely stumped otherwise and can't afford CS4. =(

Technolux - I am also looking for Adobe CS3 Web Standard for Windows. Your blog has a link to Web Premium, but none to web standard. Do you happen to have a link to CS3 Web Standard? A user posted the link in a comment, but the link is incorrectly labeled and is NOT CS3 Web Standard, but CS3 Design Standard.

I have CS3 web standard. What is the best way to add Photoshop CS 3/CS4

CS3 web standard works perfect for me. I just misses Photoshop. Perhaps you know the best way to solve this problem.
Because if I buy an upgrade, it'll be a Studio.
Second qustion: What does a Studio mean and where can I buy a studio?
Thanks!

I thought Web Standard included Photoshop. In any event, you can't just upgrade one component of a suite you need to upgrade the entire thing.
Even if you just wanted Photoshop CS5 you'd have to buy a full license for $699. PS Extended will run you $999.
Upgrading to CS5 Web Premium (there is no standard) will cost you $795 http://amzn.to/92gG02.
Before you go that route, however, you may want to consider Design Premium for $780: http://amzn.to/8XRD7M
I have an article on my website explaining why I think it's the best choice: http://www.theindesignguy.com/purchase-advice.shtml
Hope that helps,
Bob

Is CS3 Web Standard included as part of FrameMaker 10?

I installed FrameMaker 10 on my PC, and apparently Adobe's CS3 Web Standard was included in that installation. Is Creative Suite 3 Web Standard a necessary component of FrameMaker, or can I remove it from my PC and still use FrameMaker 10 without a problem?

With a nod toward the movie Fargo, I'm not so sure I agree 100% with your policework, there, Lou"... (see the 3:00 mark of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n3k0gqtYgM)
FrameMaker 10 installs with, well, FrameMaker 10. There's a native capacity to create PDF, ExtendScript, probably some version of the Bridge product, but a distinct lack of other components (except, maybe, Version Cue?).
You can most certainly remove the Web Standard install, if you don't need the apps in the included screenshot!

CS3 Web Standard to CS4 Design Premium

Hi All,
I'm having problems trying to install CS3 Web Standard and CS4 Design Premium.
I bought CS 3 Web Standard Upgrade Version and CS4 Design Premium Upgrade, to update my old CS2 Standard.
My question is:
Can I install CS4 Upgrade If I don't have CS3 Upgrade on my computer?
I have both serial numbers with CD's and everything.
I asked this question to the person I bought it from and he's email answer was:
"Heres a quick guide for the installation:
You don't have to install Web Standard in order to install CS4.
The installation starts with inserting the first CD of CS4 upgrade.
Installation process will begin and installer will prompt for password.
Enter the CS4 password. The installer will accept it and recognize that you have upgrade , and will ask the previous (CS3) serial number.
Enter the CS3 Web Standard serial number and installer will continue normally.
that's all"
Does that makes sense to you?
I haven't open the CS4 box yet, since I want to make sure is going to work.
Thanks for your answers.
regards,
Alex

I don't think you can use the same package to upgrade both programs. Once, you have upgraded the package of CS 3, you no longer have the rights to it. But you may be able to use CS 4 Web to purchase CS 4 Design (but I don't know call customer service). It might be cheaper to purchase the Master Collection upgrade again call Customer Service, they always want to help someone that wants to buy an Adobe product

Problems installing Adobe CS3 'Web Standard' after a clean install of Windows 8

When trying to re-install Adobe CS3 'Web Standard' Autoplay does not initiate install of application.

Well, does it launch manually? Win 8 suppresses auto-starts by default for "risky" files like installers...

Edit-flash button grayed out

Hey, I have Dreamweaver MX2004 and Flash MX2004 normally
installed on my computer. Although my edit-flash button is grayed
out when i'm in the properties panel of the .swf document (who i
added to my document with Insert >> Media >> Flash)
http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/8024/helplr4.jpg
I searched alot for this, but it does not seem to happen to
anyone. Can somebody help me? Thanks.

No, PSE 6 and later never displays an icon for a sub-category. If you accidentally created a sub-category where a leaf keyword tag will do, change the sub-category to a keyword tag by right-clicking it, and then you'll be able to assign an icon. But if you change the keyword tag back to a sub-category, the icon will disappear.
None of that design seems very well thought out.

Design view (CS3) is completely highlighted - can't edit content

On one of the websites I have developed, when I go to Design view and click on the content I want to revise, all content and photos are highlighted, so I can't just edit one word or sentence. I have to go to Code view and search for that content in order to change it, meaning I don't have the ease of adding links in the Design view, etc. One of the web pages with this problem is: http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/about/education.asp, which validates. The CSS is http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/css/greenkarat.css, which also validates. Below is a screen print of the design view that doesn't allow me to edit. How can I clear this up? Thank you. P.S. If I "temporarily" remove one of the closing div tags - </div>, I can then edit in the Design view, but I need to add the div tag back in before I upload the file to the server. If the div tag is not added back in, the page does not validate

http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/about/education.asp is a dead link (404 error).
Can you re-upload so we can see the page?

Can not link flash buttons to other pages

i cant get my flash buttons to link to any pages. i keep
getting warning messages. please can some one help

You have to do this when you create the buttons in DW, or
when you make them
in Flash.
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...

Can not add flash buttons or any type of media

ive tried to place flash buttons and other objects in to my
web site but they show on the screen but when i upload to server
they do not show up... ive looked through a dreamweaver book and im
doing exactly what it tells me. please some one help

That's what the "Host directory" field in your remote site
definition is
for. Put htdocs there, and you will always upload to the
correct folder.

Can't Select Flash Button?

I am trying to Insert>Media Object>Flash Button in Dreamweaver CS3 on my template page, but when I go to Insert>Media the only options I get are SWF, Flashpaper, FLV, Shockwave, Applet, ActiveX, and Plugin.
(I know, I should get an updated version, but the company I work for doesn't want to upgrade so I have to use Adobe CS3 programs)
Please help... thank you!

A Flash button is just an SWF file. Insert the SWF and it should be fine. Just remember the button will not work on many mobile devices.
Nor will it work on screen readers, making your page inaccessible to individuals needing to use screen assistive devices. Nor will it work on any platform that doesn't have the right Flash player app. In short, Flash buttons are just a bad idea. That's why they were removed from CS4 and later versions of DW.

Can't get flash buttons to work...'Cannot find path' Flash MX 2004

I am trying to get the flash buttons for my website to work, but every time I do the getURL thing it keeps saying 'Cannot find (directory)'. The website is offline and I'm using Macromedia Flash MX 2004, I also might be able to use Flash 8 but these are the only two versions I have access to.
The action script for the button is:
on(release){
getURL("..\****\****\(Website directory)\(sub directory)\(Website page).html")
I am making the website in Dreamweaver 8 and this is really holding me back as it's nearly finished but the buttons still don't work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Sorry I should have mentioned tha. The structure is as follows:
Website name\
                     \Animations
                     \Audio
                     \Buttons
                     \Images
                     \Scripts
                     \Templates
                     \Videos
The buttons are contained in the buttons folder and the page I want to link it to is in the templates folder. I have tried putting the button flash file in the website root directory and trying that but it didn't work.
Hope this helps.
Thanks in advance.
