Dreamweaver CS4 Flash insert is garbage

Dreamweaver CS4 is a disaster! It makes my 10x work more difficult. And it doesn't even get the job done.
Examples:
Can't preview my work in internet explorer. Instead, there some bogus, non-functioning, jump through 10 hoops extension called BrowserLabs - that flat out doesn't work.
It's even worse for Flash video. Can't just click and preview it anymore, in ANY browser. Instead you have to upload it to your server or create a "test server" - and Mensa member, UC Berkley grad that I am - I can not figure out how to do that based on the lame instructinos from Adobe.
Beyond that, the Flash insert in CS4 has totally lost the ability to re-size the actual video content - instead you get a black box around the video.
And you are no longer able to pull video in from anoher site by referenceing the full URL.
I bought Dreamweaver to make life easier. I don't want to learn to hand code. And I don't want to waste days and days dealing with things thaqt don't work.
I've been working with computers for a long time. And CS4 is THE WORST upgrade I've ever experienced.
Attention Adobe - what are you going to do about all this? I want to go back to CS3!

"I bought Dreamweaver to make life easier. I don't want to learn to hand code. And I don't want to waste days and days dealing with things that don't work."
How typical.
Mac user - "I just got a new Mac (or application) and I can't wait to do all sorts of great things with it!"
Linux user - "I just got a new Linux build (or system) and I can't wait to do all sorts of great things with it!"
PC user - "I just bought a new computer (or program) and it's going to do all sorts of things for me!"
or the opposite:
PC user - "I just bought a new computer (or program) and it won't do anything for me!"
Mac user - "I just got a new Mac (or application) and I still haven't learned everything I can do with it... yet."
Linux user - "I just got a new Linux build (or system) and I still haven't learned everything I can do with it... yet."
Dreamweaver is WYSIWYG software. What You See Is What You Get... It's not a cure-all, do-all, write-all, upload-and-test-all fix for people who want to be webmasters without any knowledge or effort on their part. There's a solution for that... hire someone to build your site(s) for you.
If you're adamant about not learning code, you're in the wrong business (or even hobby).
It's like saying, "I want to commute across town, but I'll be damned if I'm going to learn to drive!"
I've been doing this since 2004 and I'm still in school learning new technologies and practices.
I'll climb down off my soapbox now.
Edit: For the record, I built and inserted two flash animations last night. First one here, second one here.Neither of them took more than three clicks to add, and I fully tested each of them in no less than eleven browsers (Firefox, IE8, Opera, Safari, Netscape, AOL, iCab, OmniWeb, Camino, SeaMonkey, Chrome), offline, before uploading the index pages.

Problem Inserting Flash Video (.flv) File in Page Using Dreamweaver CS4's Insert Media Command

I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
I am attempting to put a Flash Video (.flv) file on a standard HTML page in Dreamweaver.
When I either click the Insert Flash Video in the Common tab on the Dreamweaver toolbar, or if I choose Insert > Media > FLV to inert the video, I get the standard Dreamweaver FLV interface. I make my choices, click OK, and when the video is place on the page, I get the following dialog box:
"While executing inspectSelection in flvProgressive.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
with an OK button.
If I preview the page, all that loads are the various buttons of the skin that I have chosen and no video.
Anyone have an idea what is going on?
maylandmac

Are you sure you aren't working with a template driven page?
When you insert media files into DW, it must write code in the <head> tags to reference Scripts necessary for Flash media to work on the web.
If you're working with a page that was created from a Template, the DWT page must have editable regions in the <head> tags, or you won't be able to add media to your web pages.

Dreamweaver CS4 - Record Insertion Form js error

Hi
I'm dreamweaver cs4 and started using the Record Insertion form, I was mainly experimenting with it and just seeing what it could do.
However when I get to the wizard i have to wait a few seconds for it to connect to the database and then I get an error message that says:
While executing onLoad in ServerObject-InsRecPHP.htm, the following Javascript error(s) occured:
At line 283 of the file "Macintosh HD:Application:Adobe Dreamweaver
CS4:Configuration:Commands:ServerObject-FormCmnPHP.js":
invalid array length
I was just wondering if this was a common problem, or I've messed something up either in Dreamweaver, or in the SQL database that I'm using.
I've also noticed that its the same for Update and Delete Records Wizards aswell.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I see it's your first post. Welcome to the forum.
A good place to start looking for answers is the Dreamweaver FAQ. You'll find the answer to your question under "Crashes, installation, JavaScript, and unexplained problems".

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?

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/

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.

Flash error in dreamweaver CS4

So, I am trying to integrate about 10 or so pics in a flash
format on my site. So whenever anyone opens the site, different
pics flash in a loop. I tried doing this by going to Insert -->
Media --> SWF. And then a little flash icon pops up where I want
the image. Then I got into tag inspector (on the right column)
--> Behaviors --> preload images and using the "+" sign, add
all the images I want. But when I click the "Play" icon (in
properties at the bottom), I get the following error "Unable to
find the plugin that handles this media type. Dreamweaver looks in
both the "Configuration/Plugins" folder and the plugins folder for
each of your installed browsers".
I am not sure what this message means. I checked my adobe
flash version and its updated. Any help would be greatly
appreciated! Also, is this the only way to upload flash images or
is there any other?
Thanks!

I am using Vista so file locations are different. Still, I cannot find any preferences folder or configuration folder that I can rename to recreate. There is no "CreamWeaver" folder in the user profile - even in the hidden parts.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Rename the folder to Configuration_old and launch Dreamweaver. It should create a new Configuration folder with the factory defaults.
On Vista, it's located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration.
It's a hidden folder, so you need to enable hidden folders in Windows Explorer.
Technote:
Try step 4 in the following technote: - corrupt cache file:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19105
If that doesn't work Try #12 - deleting your personal configuration folder.
This information is also available in the Dreamweaver FAQ

Flash button doesn't work when used with Dreamweaver CS4

I am a student trying to learn how to take multimedia elements from one class and put them on a webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. From an online tutorial, I created start/stop buttons with ActionScript3 URLRequest to reference a sound file. The swf works fine when played; it plays from the html generated by flash but when I use Dreamweaver CS4 > insert > media > swf and then preview page in browser (firefox), the button doesn't do anything. When I compare the html page generated by flash to the html created by Dreamweaver, they look completely different. I don't have a clue what to do next.
I have also posted this in the Dreamweaver forum. Please, does anyone have a solution?

Thanks for the response! What bothers me is that I was able to use Dreamweaver > insert.... swf on a different file with actionscrip2 controls (thanks to help from Ross Ritchey) but this time the swf has actionscript3 code in it and I was wondering if that makes a difference. I don't get any errors, the button shows as clickable, just nothing happens. Thank you for the suggestion, however the flash html but it is so MASSIVE! It makes looking at the rest of the page difficult and I have several sound files I wanted to add to one webpage.

Inserting swf to dreamweaver cs4

Hi,
Hoping someone could clarify for me please!
currently putting together web site for client. The web site has a very simple flash animation in it which the client apparently can't see and gets the prompt to upgrade to flash player v10. (I've tested this on about 4 other computers and different browsers and it looks OK on all these!)
Their IT guy tells me he has installed v10 on their pcs and that my code is wrong because it has: <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />" and that it should be version 10.
I've just checked the publish settings in flash and it is set to Flash Player 10 and ActionScript 3.0 so I'm a bit confused as to why my code does indicate it is v6.0.65. I just use the insert swf option in Dreamweaver CS4 and let Dreamweaver write the code.
Can anyone help???? I would really appreciate it!!
Cheers,
Karen

It is best to let Flash generate an html page when published and copy/paste the code from that file into your html page. I don't know what Dreamweaver does when you rely on it for insertng Flash content, but I don't trust it since it should rightfully do the same thing Flash does (same company--same suite of products), but it doesn't.

Insert HTML 5 videos in Dreamweaver CS4

I use Dreamweaver CS4. I would like to insert html5 videos on my website. So far I have only used flash videos but I would like to make my videos available to mobile phone and ipad users. Can I download an add-on or do I have to upgrade my version of Dreamweaver?

It might help to use an HTML5 doc type, too.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML5 with Video</title>


<style>
video {max-width:100%}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<video width="500" height="325" poster="Your_poster_image.jpg" controls>

<source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.ogv" type="video/ogg">

NOTE: If you see this, you're using an outdated browser that doesn't support the video tag. </video>

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!

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.

How to insert a lightbox gallery widget in dreamweaver cs4

I have dreamweaver cs4. . I've customized the lightox gallery widget in adobe exchange. I have a saved html page in a defined site into which I'd like to put the widget. I tried dragging the widget into an html page in dreamweaver cs4 but it did not work. Under "Insert" I don't see the option to insert a widget. How do I get it there?
Thanks so much.

How do you insert a slide show into a page in Fireworks or Dreamweaver CS4?

Newbie here. I just made a nice 4 image slide show in FW CS4 (under COMMANDS, CREATE SLIDESHOW) but can't figure out how to insert it into a page in FW or Dreamweaver CS4. My goal is to insert it into a FW page, then send it as a PDF to the boss for review before it goes into Dreamweaver. Can that be done? I assume if you can create the slide show in FW, then you can see it FW - or is that asking too much?? So far, I can create it, then choose to preview it in a browser (and it looks good). But then I click "done" and "x" out of the screen and it's gone. I saved the slideshow in a folder I created on my desktop. When I open the folder I see an images folder, a scripts folder, an "index.html", a "player_black.swf", and a "slideshow.xml". I've tried dragging all of these onto the FW page but nothing happens.. Also, the "insert" button in FW doesn't have a preset for slideshows. Neither manual mentions how to insert it into a FW or DW page.. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Problem solved. Found an import movie within iMovie.

Creating SCORM/AICC compliant content in Adobe Dreamweaver and Flash CS4

Could anyone please advise if Dreamweaver and Flash CS4 is suitable for creating e learning SCORM/AICC compliant content?
Many Thanks.

I thought Captivate was only flash based projects. I am currently installing the trial version of the suite to investigate.
I have read the features section of the suite and it states that Dreamweaver CS5 comes bundled with 'Domain specific html templates' that are 'instructionally sound' html templates for elearning course development. Are these not SCORM compliant?
I am really just creating a very simple online course that contains no interactive activities or assessments and is very heavily text based with several supplied flash videos. Advice on what would be best to produce this in would be appreciated.
Please note I have very little understanding of SCORM compliancy etc at this stage.
Many Thanks.
