Dreamweaver CS3/Flash problem

Hi everyone, I recently upgraded to Dreaweaver CS3 from 2004
MX. However, I'm having a problem trying to display a Flash banner
on my website.
My site is www.flaccidsacks.co.uk, you'll notice on the index
page the Flash banner at the top.
However, I updated a couple of pages, and you'll see if you
click on "Record Labels" that the Flash banner doesn't appear. The
source doesn't even appear to have the name of the Flash file.
However, in the Dreamweaver design panel the Flash file is in
the correct position, and it appears fine when I preview it. It
seems though that Dreamweaver is doing something when I publish the
page that's preventing the Flash banner from appearing.
I would be very grateful for anyone who can spare a minute to
help me.
Thanks
Lyle

When you clicked "yes" a folder named Scripts was generated
in your files.
Upload that folder to the server.

Dreamweaver CS3 Flash Slideshow problems

Hello,
First off, my name is Mike and I would really appreciate anything that you can do to help me.
I'm attempting to use Dreamweaver CS3's Flash Slideshow on a site that I'm building for a friend and I'm having troubles. I have two major issues:
1. I've uploaded my page to a test folder located on my own site.
http://www.mikebailey1979.com/NoahTest/Main.html
As you can see when you go to that page the Flash Slideshow is not appearing. I've attempted to figure this issue out as much as I can, but I'm not getting anywhere.
Using Dreamweaver to test I've deleted the AC script and it appears exactly like how it does now that it's live, so I believe that the problem lies in the Slideshow being able to find the script. What I don't understand is that the AC_RunActiveContent.js is in a folder titled '..Scripts' (which is located in the same 'NoahTest' folder as the 'Main.html')and there should be no problem with it sourcing the Script.
I'm perplexed as to why it's not reading the .js file.
2. When I preview the site in my Dreamweaver Preview it works fine, except for the fact that it looks like it's padding the size of the pictures.
I have all of the dimensions specific to the size of the slice in my site. The slideshow should be 924x668 to match the slice exactly, so that's what I told it to be in width and height. I've turned all borders to 0, frame thickness to 0, and I've even tried to add a command to change cell padding to 0, all with no effect. I've made a still screen capture for you to see my problem.
http://www.mikebailey1979.com/NoahTest/WhiteBorderProblem.jpg
I've left the Background White so you can see how it's not sizing the Slideshow correctly. So the White Border isn't really a border, but a sizing/spacing issue. I don't know what could be causing this.
If you could help me with one or both of these issues I would be so grateful. Thanks for your time.
Respectfully,
Mike

So, bemdesign, you're not seeing the white padding-like effect that I snapped a screen shot of? See here:
http://www.mikebailey1979.com/NoahTest/WhiteBorderProblem.jpg
I've tested the page 'Main.html' that I have live right now using Firefox, IE8, and Safari, and it's still doing this padding issue for me (if that's even what it's supposed to be called).
After a little research I found a post on another site where tons of people are having the same problem as me:
http://brianchau.wordpress.com/2007/07/17/where-is-the-flash-element-in-dreamweaver/
The very last post someone mentions that they fixed the issue that I'm experiencing by adding div tags specifying width and height. I've tried implementing this, but since I'm somewhat novice with coding still I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. Adding the div tags in various places seems to have either no effect or it changes the w & h values of the entire page, both of which not being my intention.
Can anyone here who is more advanced at coding than me who can tell me the proper way to implement the div tags in my situation?
This is the code for my page:

Dreamweaver CS3 Flash Video Issue

I have Dreamweaver CS3 running in OS X 10.4.11 all updated.
all of a sudden when I go to insert a Flash Video into a page I get the wheel of death and DW is frozen. I formatted the video in Flashconverter and it plays fine in mpeg streamclip.
The Insert dialog opens and I can chose the flash video and then hit detect size and the controls I want. and then I hit ok and the wheel comes up and never goes away.
If I create a new sit it will let me add the video.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks
jeff E

What OS? Does the problem happen with all files and all
sites, just some,
or just one?

Dreamweaver CS3 Installation Problems

Hello,
I have just got Dreamweaver CS3 and Photoshop CS3 and have
had some real issues with installing them! Here is my situation
explained.
I first installed Dreamweaver CS3 after un-installing a
previous version of Dreamweaver (the one from Macromedia) and it
installed as normal. I then tried to install Photoshop but it only
got as far as 8.46% and would go no further! I did a system restore
and tried installing Photoshop before Dreamweaver and it installed!
I then tried to install Dreamweaver but once the "Adobe Setup" got
to 100% it disappeared and the Installation screen did not appear,
in fact nothing happened! I went in an endless loop of installing
one before the other and have landed and having Photoshop on the
computer and not been able to install Dreamweaver! As I mentioned,
if I don't have Photoshop installed, Dreamweaver will install and
vice-versa.
I'm thinking it is a conflict problem, but I dunno where to
begin looking. I've cleared the computer of useless files and
registry entries (I use a program called CCleaner) and I also went
into
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe and did a search for
'dreamweaver' and deleted everything that came up, just so it'd be
like Dreamweaver was never installed.
I used the CS3 Cleaner because I previously had the PS BETA
but it never worked right and it kept failing when deleting stuff,
so I dunno why that was.
If anyone knows any reason why this is doing it and have any
ways of helping me out, I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
P.S. I am on Windows Vista Home Premium

You may experiencing the same problem that I had. If you had
a previous Beta installation installed, it may be preventing the
new installation.

tech support (valiant attempts). They told me I should call
Microsoft. Microsoft shuttled me to Dell. Dell told me they could
fix the problem with Windows Installer on my XP Pro system for
$245.
Symptom is that the Photoshop installation gets as far as a
screen that says "Loading Setup," blinks, then goes away. I
re-installed the Windows Installer and the Photoshop install still
fails.
Any help appreciated...

Dreamweaver CS3 Flash Prof CS3 and the web

I am a beginner web designer, but I have search for this
answer for DAYS now! I have placed flash in a html file in
Dreamweaver CS3. I have tried to get it to show up on the web to no
avail. It plays fine in Dreamweaver, but doesn't show up in the
preview (not even the dreaded white box). The white box shows up
when I try to view the site online. I know the html file is there
because the html graphics show up, but the flash media doesn't. I
have double checked that both local and ftp directories match. I
have uploaded the script file and the AC_RunActiveContent file to
the server in the same directory as the local. I have tried
uploading just the Scripts file, just the AC_RunActiveContent file,
and both - to see whatever works! In my anguish I have also double
checked my flash publish settings (played with them to see if that
helped, and then reversed them back to step 1), made sure my images
(flash and html) were there, and gone in and double checked the
script source code in the html file to make sure it embeds the
source, absolute. I am ready to pull my hair out or declare another
occupation! Is this just CS3 craziness, or will the answer be
revealed to me in a dream!

Hi,
I suggest posting this question in the "Dreamweaver General Discussion" forums, as it´s not related to the Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox

Dreamweaver CS3 FTP problem

Hi,
I am unable to connect to my remote server using my new copy
of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
When I test the FTP connection I get an error message
I can connect without problems to my remote server using
Microsoft Frontpage and the exact same FTP address, login, and
password - so it is not the server which is at fault
Things I have tried without success
My hosting company told me to either leave the host directory
box blank or put a / in it. Neither of these options work
I have tried retyping my login details carefully.
I have tried checking the ‘use passive FTP’ box
I have tried putting a colon and the port number after the
FTP address
I have tried writing the FTP address with and without the
ftp:// symbol
I have tried setting the FTP time out preferences at 60secs,
30 secs, 120 secs, 10 secs, and 5 secs
I am wondering what else to try, and how I can check whether
or not the software is being blocked by a firewall (in Norton for
example - my windows firewall is switched off) as I do remember
getting a message about this during the install. Or would it be a
good idea to uninstall and reinstall the software?
I would be most grateful for any further information or
advice.
Many thanks
Pippa

> When I test the FTP connection I get an error message
What is the error message?
Here's my experience.
1. A firewall (any firewall, including but not restricted to
SP2) may be
blocking your attempts. It's best to completely disable them
while you are
troubleshooting this.
2. The FTP host field should usually always be filled in like
this -
''www.domain.com'' (without the quotes) and with NO leading
protocol (e.g.,
http:// or ftp://) (of course, you can always
use the IP address, too).
3. Enabling Passive FTP (usually the default for 3rd party
FTP programs) in
your Remote site definition can often be the gating factor in
a balky FTP
connection.
Make sure you use those guidelines and usually your
connection problem will
be solved.
By the way, if you find that #1 allows the connection to
proceed, then you
have to figure out what it is about your firewall that is
blocking
transmissions. CS3 allows you to fine tune firewall support
via the
Remote site definition, but you may also need to do a very
simple thing of
permitting CS3 to make outgoing connections in the Firewall
configuration.

Dreamweaver CS3 Uploading Problem

Cannot upload my first Web Page to the Web Site (Host). I
have tested and have received the following message:
"Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 connected to your Web Server
successfully."
When I PUT Index.html from Local to Remote, I receive the
following error message: "Index.html - error occurred - An FTP
error occurred - cannot put Index.html. Access denied.
I have invested too much dough for a WW2 non-profit
organization for this not to work.
Thanks in advance.

I tried enabling passive FTP but it doesn't help.

Dreamweaver CS3 / Flash serve viewing problems

I've created my flash inserted it into dreamweaver, previewed it and uploaded the pages and the JS files to my host server again and again and it everything shows up but the flash, nothing, not even a box. Any ideas on what the problem could be? They show up in the root directory on the server. the file I used was the SWF. file. Is there another way to do this?

Dreamweaver CS4 Flash Problem

I added a video that i created with Adobe premiere. the
problem that i'm having is thats i can't play this video in live
view or when i view it in foxfire. I can see the movie anywhere
else but flash. Dreamweaver gives me this message.
Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type.
dreamweaver looks in both the "configuration/plugins" folder, and
the pluins folder for each of your installed browser.
in firefox i get a blank white spot where the video is
suppose to be. on other instance the computer promped me to
download the correct version of flash. even though i used the
uninstall file to get rid of flash and reinstalled it again but
with the same problem.
p.s i checked the configuration file and the pluin is there.
i did this process over 10 times.
Can anybody please help

I have a similar problem, but not the same.
I see that cs4 gives me a different supporting file set in
cs3.
In CS4 when the HTML page displays in the browser, I see an
array of the controls -- arrows, etc -- but cant see the movie and
it doesnt play.

Dreamweaver Cs3 CSS Problems

Good day, I am having problems using my new version of CS3.
When I am working in split view, or design view for that matter,
any css that I add to the page does not show up when designing the
page. Whether it is inline or attached, I don't see the changes to
the page while working on it. Is there something I need to adjust
in my properties to make this work? I have not had this problem in
Dreamweaver MX 2004. Any and all help would be so helpful. Thank
you in advance.
Rob

Hi SnakeEyez, thank you for a prompt reply. I do not have the
page uploaded as I just started working with it. I don't understand
how it would be a code problem if Dreamweaver is adding the code
for me. For example, when I add
<style type="text/css">

</style>
the page is still white when designing. Any ideas why this
is? Thanks.

Dreamweaver CS3 Sync Problem

This topic may have been mentioned before, but cannot find
anythinf for it. I have used several versions of Dreamweaver and
had no problem updating to web sites. Since I've updated to the CS3
version, whatever web site I am working on, or varying hosting
companies, it always misses pages or files that I've been working
on. It will go through the whole site, telling me which ones are
needed to be uploaded, but will always miss some or all that I have
just edited.
I've noticed that I can edit a file say 12/02/2008 11.03am.
Upload it manually and find that on (any) of my hosting sites that
it's modifed date/time will be 12/02/2008 7.03pm. 8 hours ahead.
Has anyone else had any similar experiences?
Many thanks,
Alan.

Dreamweave cs3 install problem

Currently running DW8 on Windows Vista, I thought I would
have a look at CS3. I downloaded the trial version of DW CS3 and
ran it. After extracting the files, the setup starts ('Initializing
Adobe setup') but then immediately disappears with no messages.
I've tried running as Administrator but the same happens.
A search for a fix has turned up nothing so far. Any ideas
from anyone would be welcomed.
Colin.

type the exact error you get into google and see what pops
up. Have you preciously had another version of dreamweaver on your
computer and it was uninstalled by chance? Maybe email adobes
support and let them know. But I am sure someone else has gotten
this error before so if you search google Im sure you will find
your answer. I just downloaded the trial also and didnt get that
message. Google is the best for answers..
