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 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:
<code>

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!

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 has encountered a problem...

I have searched the interent for hours trying to resolve this issue.
Everytime I open up DW, i get the error message:
"Adobe DW CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
When i click "send error report" or "Dont send," DW closes.
If I just leave that alone, i can work in DW.
The problem is its also doing it for Adobe Acrobat 8.0.
I am operating on XP.
I have tried to go in and unistall the entire Adobe Creative Suite. I click on "remove" and nothing happens.
I am really frustrated with this. Any help is appreciated.

Does CuteFTP work on it's own when DW is closed?
I too, use CuteFTP in conjunction with DW and have for many years and have never had such a problem.
Are you doing anything specific in Cute FTP when DW crashes?

Dreamweaver CS3 & Show/Hide Layers Problem

I'm trying to use Dreamweaver CS3 and the Show/Hide Layers
behaviour to show or hide another layer on a click. However, when I
go to the behaviours window and click on the plus to get the drop
down list of behaviours to choose from, 'Show/Hide Layers' isn't
there - can anybody help me?! I need this to get an assignment done
due in really soon.
Thanks

It goes well beyond DW's Show/hide, however....

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

Dreamweaver asked if I
> wanted

which I said 'yes' to,
> although I didn't really understand what the problem
was.
When you clicked "yes" a folder named Scripts was generated
in your files.
Upload that folder to the server.

Dreamweaver CS3 + Safari for Windows problems

Hello
Well first off I would like to Thank Apple for making a Version of Safari that runs on Windows. As a web developer (using DW CS3 for Windows) I always had to upload a test webpage to a server, look at it on a Mac, and go back to Windows to make adjustments. Now I can do it all in Windows.
I am having a problem with previewing a page on my local machine. When I preview in Safari it just opens my Safari Homepage. I have to preview in Firefox, copy the URL, and paste it into Safari to view my page in Safari.
I don't know if this is a Dreamweaver issue or Safari issue. Any help at all would be great. Thank you.

Thanks, Sarah.
My post went out before I was finished. Then tried editing it, during which you replied. My reply to you was then lost, because I'm not allowed to edit... Sorry.
I have been busy figuring out what Safari for Windows will and won't play back through tedious trial and error. It did leave me insecure as to the reliability of AE's output; hence my question. But with this news, I guess it makes more sense for me to just leave it, and hope Safari for Windows users will figure to get another browser, right? Or wait.. maybe I could put in a message that will show to those users...
Thanks again & all best,
Phil

Dreamweaver CS3 Scripting Youtube embedding Problems

I use embeds from youtube on my site. They are usually no
problem. Today I
upgraded from Dreamweaver 8 to CS3. When saving my files and
uploading to the host, CS3
created two scripts that it said were necessary for
standards-based sites and
applications:
AC_Activex.js
AC_Runactivecontent.js
CS3 indicated that they must be uploaded in "Scripts" folder
to host. Now all my
embeds show up as a red x in IE7. Oddly enough they work in
Monzilla. Sounds like a version problem doesn't it? Although of
course my host (Bluehost) says it ain't their problem.

Check out the following extension:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1327520
From the looks of your code you were embedding Youtube links
as if they were Flash. However, while they are Flash, Youtube has
its own system for embedding. I believe Youtube does provide you
with code to do this. However, this plugin should do it all for you
from within Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver embedded flash movie - Safari problem

I have 3 flash movies embedded on a page using dreamweaver. Firefox plays either of the 3 no problem, Safari Only plays the first one.
I am using the Clear Skin 2 Controller. The ID tags I'm using are FLVPlayer1,2,3... JS script folder is uploaded and contains the AC_Active scripts.
Obviously I'd like to get this to work in Safari. Any thoughts???
Thanks

From the reading I've been doing since posting this, I am beginning to think this is either a QuickTime plugin or flash plugin problem with Safari. I am running osx 10.5.6 and Safari 3.2.1 - I was hoping for an easy page code fix.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 live view problems

1.) As described in this Thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3204440#3204440 the Live View is very slow, when edit/design a php-page which uses external css files
2.) The live view does not support/show css3 tags, e.g. box-shadow or border-radius, altough the css-panel knows these tags. it is necessary to open the page in a local browser or in multiscreen-preview to see the design.
3.) The live view does not render the jqeury-mobile layout.

-Live View is very slow?
Only when the page contains CSS/JavaScript interactions.
-Live view does not support/show css3 tags?
Correct.
-Live view does not render the jqeury-mobile?
Actually, it does. You need, however, to choose a local path option for
the scripts.
Dreamweaver is a marvelous program, but like everything else made with
human hands and minds - it's not perfect. Live View is a very misleading
feature - actually, the only folks I know who find it useful are
beginners (who believe it works) and authors who write books and
tutorials that teach how to use it. It's worth at least one chapter of
filler
The only truth a novice should pull out of this topic is that when
testing a web page, the only reliable test is that which involves real
browsers.

CS3 has encountered a problem

Here is a page:
http://www.eclipsme.com/fellsmerecra/test.php
When I open it in DW CS3 and click into it in design view, I
get this:
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience.
Here is the identical page, but with the ext. changed to html
(there is
no php code in the page yet, though there will be:
http://www.eclipsme.com/fellsmerecra/test.html
This page can be edited in DW CS3.
What gives? The code validates. The only thing different is
the extension!
Thanks for looking,

Dreamweaver CS3 crashes on opening

I recently purchased the Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium,
and all programs work fine, with the exception of Dreamweaver CS3.
When I try to open Dreamweaver, either from the program list or
opening an html document with Dreamweaver, it shows the opening
page and then quits, either showing no error report or the window
"Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to
close", appears. When I click on "view technical info" within this
window, it says that the following file, located in the temp
folder, will be included in the error report: 5d67_appcompat.txt.
Each time the error comes up, a similar file is named, but with a
different letter/numnber combination before appcompat.txt. I THINK
I have done all of the obvious things, including
uninstalling/reinstalling, installing the trial version of
Dreamweaver, moving the appcompat.txt files from the temp folder
(though I think they are created when I try to open Dreamweaver. I
have also completed the suggested actions on the Dreamweaver
troubleshooting page (
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15481&sliceId=2),
through step 17. Unless someone suggests something else, I will try
uninstalling/reinstalling Dreamweaver in safe mode next. I also
should note that I previously used Macromedia Dreamweaver 2004, and
had trouble uninstalling it, and thus went through the steps
recommended on Adobe's technote "Uninstalling Dreamweaver MX/MX
2004 on Windows". Any further suggestions on how to get Dreamweaver
to work?
