Difficulty Running Director (dcr) Shockwave in Dreamweaver CS4

I am running Director 11.5, Dreamweaver CS4, and the latest version of the Shockwave Player. My operating system is Vista Ultimate; Browser Explorer (latest version). Movies made in Director 11.5 (dcr) format will not play in the browser when placed in a new page created in Dreamweaver CS4. Movies made with several previous versions of Director will play. The movies created in 11.5 will play when opened with explorer or when opened from inside of Dreamweaver when right clicked (outside of a Dreamweaver page) They also play as part of the publishing sequence from inside of Director 11.5. The message I am getting when I make the attempt to play the dcr movie in a Dreamweaver page is "The page that you are trying to open contains a movie that is referenced to an incorrect version of the Shockwave Player". I have used all of these programs for several years and this is the first time I have had any trouble creating movies in Director and running same in Dreamweaver - any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks; O'Ceileachair.

II found the answer to this problem in a Director white page Entitled "Director 11 and Shockwave 11 Release White Paper" It involves two lines of code which must be included in the Source Code of Dreamweaver in order for the shockwave player to be recognized in a HTML page created in Dreamweaver.

Will Dreamweaver CS4 run on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion?

I've been upgrading several software apps I have to bring them into compliance with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion before I upgrade the operating system itself. I have the CS4 Master Collection, and it's about the last step before I'm totally brought up to date before "Lion-izing" my Mac. Any chance that CS4 will run on Lion without too many hiccups? The one "mission critical" element of the Creative Suite that I need every day is Dreamweaver, which I use each day to post deliverables to my website for client retrieval.
What can you tell me about CS4, and in particular, Dreamweaver CS4, relative to its ability (or inability) to run on Lion?
Thanks.

Read that and find out.

Dreamweaver CS4 runs ok but fails to close correctly. Cannot run again until previous instance is killed.

I have a clean install of a recently purchased copy (10.0, build 4117) of Dreamweaver CS4 (twice now). I start DW and do absolutely nothing except exit. The program seems to close ok and all windows are closed. However, I cannot runb DW again, if I do , it just hangs during startup at some point before any windows are opened. A look at the task manager shows the previous instance of CS4 is still running. If I kill dreamweaver.exe then I can run CS4 again.
If I use DW then everything seems to work ok and all of the extentions I have purchase install and work fine too. I even imported a large NetObjects website and is was 100% correct (I was surprised).
I have removed AVG, I do not have an Acer, I have renamed the config folder and I am about to throw the towel in.
I have checked the registry and all is ok with the hives.
The system is: AMD Athlon X2 running XP-Pro SP3, 2GB Ram, 2 X 300GB HDD with plenty of free space, no internal firewall, AVG removed (after scan), ATI Graphics. I have never had Dreamwaever on this PC before and all extensions are now removed.
For any techies reading this I discovered that, after clsing DW, the task is still running with 17 threads. Slowly, at about one per minute, the number of threads drops to 12 but drops no further even if you leave is 24 hours.
The installation was fault free (both times!). The program loads ok and works ok. So, why does a fresh copy of DW with no website created or any configuration changes of any form fail to shutdown correclty?
Any ideas?

You've already tried the suggestions I normally make if there is a problem with running DW... I really can't help you with your problem and as no-one else has submitted a reply generally there's no-one with an answer.
I can only suggest that you contactAdobe Support and outline what you just did in your post here... hopefully they'll be able to sort this o9ut for you.

I am running Dreamweaver CS4. I recently installed ADDT-CS4-101-beata. How do I uninstall ADDT-CS4-101-Beta?

I just installed ADDT-CS4-101-beta, and now I keep getting the Dreamweaver error message "While executing onLoad in ADDT_onOpen.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
At line 29 of file "C:\program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS4\Configuration\Commands\ADDT_0nOpen.js": ADDT is not defined.
I am in the very early stages of trying to learn this program. I thought that ADDT-CS4-101-beta was a tool box of add ons. So I installed it, and now I keep getting this error message. I am running WINXP Pro with SP3. I thought I would uninstall this program, and everything would go back to normal, and I could continue my learning process, and install this program later, after I had a better idea of what the heck was going on.
How do I correct this problem? I checked in the WinXP control panel, using "Uninstall Programs", and ADDT-CS4 is not there.

Still fighting this battle of trying to reinstall CS4 Extension Manager. The problem is that I can not get rid of the previous installation. When I tried to uninstall it using WinXP Pro Control Panel/Add/remove it would fail to remove it. Then I used a software program "Perfect Uninstaller" to remove it, and that seemed to have worked. I say (seemed to have worked), because after I rebooted, I checked Start/programs, and CS4 Extension Manager was no longer shown in the listings. Then I went to Control Panel/Add/Remove, and it no longer was listed. Sooooooo I thought I had everything licked, and I doubled clicked on the Setup.exe file of the newely downloaded CS4 Extension Manager, an it ran through the "Checking Profile", and then started the "Setup Program", and gave me the same old message "System Check" "Adobe Extension Manager CS4 is already installed on this machine."
"To reinstall please run the installer which performed the original installation."
I think that it was originall installed when I installed Photoshop CS3, or Photoshop CS4. I can not find my disc for Photoshop CS4. I have the disc for Photoshop CS3, but when I checked that disc for the Extension Manager, I could not find it. Is there any program that will totally rmove the original Extension Manager. Once I can reinstall Extension Manager, I will be able to remove ADDT-CS4-101.
Thanks for any help.

Does Dreamweaver CS4 run on...

Hi,
It's just a really simple question - does Dreamweaver CS4 run of windows 7 64 bit, or at all all the adobe programs such as flash etc?
Thanks,
Josh

Does Dreamweaver run under Windows 7? No, not very well. Our experience
was that it's broken all over the place. File dialogs are not working correctly, images are not placed correctly and a whole bunch of other issues under Windows 7. Read through the forum here and you will see all kinds of problems. We've had to switch to Microsoft Expression Web because of all the issues. We can't wait another year for Adobe to release CS5 or simply fix all the issues. We're trying to run a business here. We prefer Windows 7 over the choice of keeping Dreamweaver CS3 and CS4. Couldn't deal with all the problems.
Good luck to you all.
Wow, 2 posts and all you do is complain? Any business that has an IT department that employs a system-wide OS upgrade to a newly released OS without having the software tested or having backups made and forces the company to switch from one software suite to another costing the company needless time and money needs to have that IT department fired.
BTW, there are a few bugs with having to manually type paths, but Adobe has said they will patch the software for any bugs with the new operating systems ( Snow Leopard or Windows 7). These things don't happen overnight either. If you notice a bug the only way it will get fixed is to submit a request ( Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form ). Otherwise if your company has the time and money to switch over like lillie then you can switch to another application.

Trial version of Dreamweaver CS4 for testing - co-exist with CS3?

I am very interested in trying InContext. However it requires Dreamweaver CS4 to do anything. I noted a way to download a trial version. My concern however is that I have the CS3 version installed, and I need to know if the two can co-exist or if loading CS4 is going to disable/remove CS3. It would be helpful to know if the same answer applies for both Mac and Windows cases.
If InContext either is not a better solution to my needs that Contribute, or if the costs are too high then I would not anticipate buying the CS4 version (apparently I would have to upgrade the whole CS3 Master Collection I have in order to accomplish that - no small expense) and I don't want to run into a problem.

Hello Bobxyzyy,
Yes, you can install the Dreamweaver CS4 trial without affecting your installation of Dreamweaver CS3 on both Mac and Windows. They will install into separate directories by default.
Best regards,
Corey

The flv will NOT play in either browser. White Box Syndrome.
So I go to
http://freevideocoding.com
and get their code, as follows:
<embed src="

width="640" height="360" quality="high"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
And my flvs PLAY JUST FINE. But they are old school.
How can I get Dreamweaver CS4 to embed these flvs so they
will play in browsers?
Please help! I'm stumped.
http://www.undisclosedstudio.com

This is still an issue as of August 20, 2009. I get the white box in both the testing server and the remote server. I tried the CS3 version of FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf to no avail. It does not work in either Firefox or IE. Running CS4 on Vista based PC.
Has anyone made any progress in fixing this?

Dreamweaver CS4 interface problems in Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

I'm experiencing some frutratingly bizzare behavior with Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I'm hoping someone might now how to fix the issues.
1) When creating a new site by selecting "Site/New Site..." or "Site/Manage Sites..." the fields for selecting "Local root folder" and "Default images folder" always select a directory above where I tell it.
For example if I tell it to use "E:\ClientFiles\Client\website\" it always selects "E:\ClientFiles\Client\". and the only solution is to write in the proper directory manually.
2) Possibly related to the above targeting problem. In a document, even an new empty xhtml, if I place an image on the page and double click on that image to replace it with another I get the dialog box for selecting the new image, but on pressing "OK" nothing happens. The same thing occurs if I select the fodler icon in the properites at the bottom. The only methods that work are either deleting the placed image and then placing a new image or deleting the "Src" info in the "properties" panel and then clicking the folder icon next to "Src".
You can see how this would get frustrating after a while.
I've tried a complete reinstall of CS4, deleting the Dreamweaver cache file, and I get the same behavior on my laptop which is also running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated. I've submitted this behavior to Adobe support as well in hops that it can some how be resolved.

Both are known issues in DW on Win 7 and Vista. It's not just 64 bit.
Until Adobe issues a patch, the workarounds you describe are the only solutions for the timebeing.

Dreamweaver CS4 Insert Table button does not work.

I recently upgrade from an older version of Dreamweave to Dreamweaver CS4. But now I have a problem with inserting tables.
They have the dropdown on the top right for Classic, Coder, Coder Plus and so on. I was using classic and everything was fine, then all of a sudden if I try using the Insert Table button from the Inserts tab, it does nothing. If I right click on the button, then click on the button it works, and if i switch to any other view it works. so then I used Coder and it was fine, but then again it stopped working. So I switched to Coder Plus and it was fine for a few more days and then it stops working again. I have rebooted my machine, closed out of DW and nothing seems to fix it. I just installed all adobe software updates and there was nothing in the update that fixed the problem. Does anyone else have this issue and if so, how do I fix it?
I have searched google and I can't find anything. I can keep switching views but one day soon if it continues, I'm going to run out of views and Its such a habit to use the button instead of the Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut.

try the following
Recreate Dreamweaver CS4 Configuration and registry
- rename the configuration folder to any name. (just add any character I suggest)
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Configuration
- recreate the registry folder
Start > run > regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Adobe>Dreamweaver>10. Rename 10 ex: 10_old
maybe you can post your specs here for more specific troubleshooting. Cheers!

Problems to Download Dreamweaver CS4 with Akamai Download Manager!

I want to download Dreamweaver CS4 Italian Windows Trial version.
I have Internet Explorer 7, PC with OS Windows XP x64bit Corporate, Core2Quad Q9650, Motherboard MSI P45Platinum with Ethernet 10/100/1000,
4GBRAM,3 HDD 500GB WesternDigital,Nvidia GeForce 9400GT.
I have installed "Akamai Download Manager ActiveX" control asked on the top of window popup.
Clicked Yes:Installation confirmation.
But I have tried to click the button "Download" and just one window with this message appears and disappears immediately:
Per scaricare il software è necessario installare Akamai Download Manager...
Problemi di download?
Assistenza per il download...
Il sistema non dispone dei requisiti minimi per eseguire Akamai Download Manager.
(The system doesn't meets the minimum system requirements to run Akamai Download Manager.)
I can't download anything. Why?
I have disable Pop-ups Blocker, and disabled also Anti-Phishing Filter.
Disabled also Antivirus and the Firewall.
Set and lowered Security Protection from Tools>Internet Options: to "Medium"; and also, another time, set to "Personalized" with all the controls
switched to "Active".
Set Privacy>Settings>"Accetta tutti i cookie"(lowered to full bottom).
I have read this Akamai Download Manager FAQ:
-"Nothing happens when I click the download link"
If nothing happened after you clicked the download link, either your pop-up blocker or a high security setting on your web browser may have stopped
the Akamai DLM window from opening.
If you have a pop-up blocker enabled in your web browser or in your Internet toolbar (such as the Yahoo! toolbar or the Google toolbar), you will
need to disable your pop-up blocker to start your download. For additional information, and for instructions on changing your security setting, see
the "Akamai Download Manager system requirements" (ServiceNote kb400530).
Note: The download manager can sometimes take up to a minute to load. Please allow time for the initial loading before assuming there is a problem
Thus, I have followed this rules in Akamai Download Manager System Requirements:
Internet Explorer 7
1) Access your Internet options from the Windows Control Panel (Internet Options) or by selecting Tools > Internet Options in Internet Explorer
2) Select the Security Tab
3) Click Custom Level
4) Scroll through the list of security options and set:
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Download signed ActiveX controls > Enable or Prompt
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Enable or Prompt
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting > Enable or Prompt
-Downloads > File download > Enable
-Miscellaneous > Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints > Enable
-Scripting > Active scripting > Enable
5) Click OK
6) Click OK again
But nothing changes.
On my PC I have also this installation: "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5" and "Java(TM)6 Update 15".
But the download doesn't start at all.
1) How can I do to download Dreamweaver CS4-Windows-ITALIAN language?
2) Is it possible to download 364.8 MegaBytes without Akamai Download Manager?
Please Hurry!
Horsepower0171.

another option you may have is resettofactory
start- run- type:
cmd
press enter
type:
cd c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
press enter
type:
loader.exe /resettofactory
press enter
please perform a backup first
test your browser before you restore your backup, and to be ssafe I would do a selective restore
open DTM, go to backup/restore- advanced
top left click on file-open
find your backup, it will load on the left side
you current working BB will be on the right side
transfer ONLY the absolute important databases from the left to the right(address, cal, phone logs, messages, sms, tasks, memo)... dont do any that you dont know and dont do any OPTIONS ones

How do i create a styled spry mysql driven menu using dreamweaver cs4?

How do i create a styled spry mysql driven menu using dreamweaver cs4?
I have cs4. I gave up on using MS sql as a datasource. I finally got a php successfull connection in my PHP web page.
I would like a nice video tutorial for creating a dynamic menu.
I guess i can style it by attaching a css file to the page. Are their any already designed css files out there in some online area?
i am not a good designer. so i would like to simply have a collection of menu_style.css files and choose what looks good.
But first i need to build the spry menu from the mysql database.
Any help is apprechiated.
My first choice was to maintain the data in an MS sql server file. If i could directly attach to an ms sql datasource then that would be the best option.
I dont think i want to have to re-generate an XML datasource each time i add or modify the menu. I would like to maintain the MS Sql or mySql file instead.
If i could generate an XML datasource from the MS Sql database then I may even prefere that, but i have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do that and not had any success. So i prefere working in MS sql but would settle for mySql if i had to.
Thanks
Jerry

To create a dynamic menu take a look here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/MenuFromNestedData.html#

Hello hypericon_0090001,
Have you found any fix for this, as I am having the same problem.

Error Installing Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows 7: Installer Database is Corrupt

Error Message: The Installer Database is Corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service.
I bought a new laptop and would like to install Dreamweaver CS4 on it. It is already running fine on my desktop, being installed back in 1/2011. Both PCs are Windows 7 but the new laptop is Windows 7 Professional. I have downloaded the two install files ADBEDRWVCS4_LS1.7z and ADBEDRWVCS4_LS1.exe multiple ways and to multiple locatons on the laptop. I've run the .exe file multiple ways and extracted to several locations besides the default (c:\users\userid\Desktop\Adobe CS4). After the extract completes and it tries to run setup I get the same message "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please Contact Adobe Customer Service" (which I did and they just gave me another download link I had already tried).
I even copied the folder with the extracted files done on my desktop (where the install had succeeded). And still got the same message when I ran setup.exe on the laptop. I tried running it with a "run as administrator" command prompt, double-clicking in Windows Explorer, start > run and the same thing happens. At least it doesn't appear that it has actually installed anything yet.
I did notice that my new PC has a program called "7-zip 9.20" installed which I do not remember installing and its install date is prior to my purchase of the PC so I'm guessing it came with it (HP Pavilion 15t running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). The Windows 7 Desktop does not have this program installed. It is available from C|net where it has a good rating. Perhaps setup.exe does further extracting and the 7-zip program is the culprit? This is a long shot.
I searched for others with this problem and found lots of issues installing Dw CS4, but none quite like this.

Awesome! That worked! Actually I searched three folders (Program Files, Program Files (x86) & Program Data) for caps.db and found:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premier Elements\caps.db (dated 9/2/2011)
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Backup\caps.db
I ignored the first one since it might be needed by the Premier Elements 10 I installed yesterday and changed the name of the other one from caps.db to barb.fix.
I changed the install folder from c:\Program Files\Adobe to c:\Program Files (x86) just in case CS4 is a 32-bit application which I had done before when installing on my Windows7 Desktop. Now that the install has completed I see that I have caps.db files dated 5/5/2014 in
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\backup\caps.db (barb.fix is still there but is only 26kb vs 3291 kb for the new caps.db)
Thank-you so much! Now wish me luck when I try to open it for the first time!

How to Make Dreamweaver CS4/Flash CS4 Website Function on all Latest Mobile Devices

Hello!
I am trying to add code into my Dreamweaver CS4 file and/or Flash CS4 file in order to have the website I have created work across all of the latest mobile devices as well as traditional online systems. My flash file has a transparent stage, and my dreamweaver file has a full-screen background image. I have reviewed various tutorials and articles available online, and some advocate simply adding code, which does not seem to be working for me, while others suggest having a similar separate site created solely for mobile devices. If this is the best option, I don't know how that should be set up. What is the best path to take with this?
This is the collection of various pieces of code I have tried adding to my files:

I have tried various combinations of the code listed above, but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure as to the positioning of the code, and maybe that is the problem, or maybe it is because this code in not for CS4, or not appropriate for my project. I also do not know what code should be inside the Flash file, nor what should should be inside the Dreamweaver file.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Hi
To add to what Gramps has said, Adobe has ceased developing its flash player for ALL mobile devices so do not use Flash for any mobile device.
Depending on the complexity of your Flash program you may be able to recreate it using Edge, but the code generated by Edge does not work in IE8 or below.
For details on Edge, see - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/

There is no simple code to add that will display the same on all mobile devices....
you do know that the iProducts (iPhone, iPad, etc) don't display Flash at all, right?
So as a start for "functioning on all latest mobile devices" you should drop any Flash content you have and move on.
