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.

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:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" user-scalable="yes" initial-scale="1.0" /> <!-- iphone,android -->
<meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="true" /> <!-- blackberry -->

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
//or//
this.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
this.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
next_btn.width = 133 * .5;
next_btn.height = 133 * .5;
//flash//

private function inchesToPixels(inches:Number):uint
return Math.round(Capabilities.screenDPI * inches);
var button:Sprite = new Sprite();
button.x = 20;
button.y = 20;
button.graphics.beginFill(0x 003037);
button.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, this.inchesToPixels(.75),

footer.graphics.endFill();
footer.x = 0;
footer.y = this.stage.stageHeight - footer.height;
this.addChild(footer);
* Center one DisplayObject relative to another.
private function center(foreground:DisplayObject,
background:DisplayObject):void
foreground.x = (background.width / 2) -
(foreground.width / 2);
foreground.y = (background.height / 2) +
(foreground.height / 2);
//cont.//
var title:SimpleLabel = new SimpleLabel("My Application",
"bold", 0xffffff, "_sans", this.inchesToPixels(.15));
this.center(title, titleBar);
this.addChild(title);
//override width and height getters
public override function get width():Number
return this.textLine.textWidth;
public override function get height():Number
return (this.textLine.ascent - 1);
if (Capabilities.manufacturer == "Android Linux" && Capabilities.screenResolutionY == 1024)
next_btn.width = 85;
next_btn.height = 85;
This is the code for my Dreamweaver CS4 file (without the additional erogenous code attempts):

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 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 flv problem / white box

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="
http://freevideocoding.com/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.undisclosedstudio.com/MatteFLASH. flv&autoStart=false"
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.comThis 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?
Bill

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.

Dreamweaver CS4 install problem on macbook pro
I'm trying to install CS4 on my macbook pro 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo OSx 10.5.8

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

Dreamweaver asked if I

which I said 'yes' to,

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

Dreamweaver CS4 installation problem (hang)
Hi guys,
I have tried to install DW CS4 or CS3 by doing all the different steps suggested:
- firewall and antivirus stopped,
- editing ContainerProxy.js,
- registry cleaning,
- uninstall all Adobe products,
- run Setup from ...\Adobe\Installers\435a6af7459cb02a9c1138113a26e93 for the CS3 version,
- run it with several windows installer version,
- using the CS3 and the CS4 cleaner, etc.
But the setup process always hangs in the task manager forever (the CS3 version consuming 10MB RAM and the CS3 with 30MB).
For the CS4 version neither the temp installer folder is created.
Any other desperated action, please?
Thanks in advance.

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?
maylandmacAre 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.

How to Make Flash CS4/Dreamweaver 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:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" user-scalable="yes" initial-scale="1.0" /> <!-- iphone,android -->
<meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="true" /> <!-- blackberry -->
</style>
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="var params = { id: "flashID", name: "flashcontent", menu: "false", allowFullScreen: "true", fullScreenOnSelection: "true", scale:"noscale", salign:"middle"};"
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
//or//
this.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
this.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
next_btn.width = 133 * .5;
next_btn.height = 133 * .5;
//flash//
next_btn.width = Capabilities.screenDPI * .5;
next_btn.height = Capabilities.screenDPI * .5;
//flash//
this.stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, doLayout);
//flash://
<initialWindow>
<width>320</width>
<height>480</height>
<!-- several other properties... -->
</initialWindow>
* Convert inches to pixels.
private function inchesToPixels(inches:Number):uint
return Math.round(Capabilities.screenDPI * inches);
var button:Sprite = new Sprite();
button.x = 20;
button.y = 20;
button.graphics.beginFill(0x 003037);
button.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, this.inchesToPixels(.75),
this.inchesToPixels(.25));
button.graphics.endFill();
this.addChild(button);
//hard-code title://
var titleBar:Sprite = new Sprite();
titleBar.x = 0;
titleBar.y = 0;
//stage width determines width of title://
var titleBar:Sprite = new Sprite();
titleBar.x = 0;
titleBar.y = 0;
titleBar.graphics.beginFill(0x003037);
titleBar.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, this.stage.stageWidth,
this.inchesToPixels(.3));
titleBar.graphics.endFill();
this.addChild(titleBar);
//footer://
var footer:Sprite = new Sprite();
footer.graphics.beginFill(0x003037);
footer.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, this.stage.stageWidth,
this.inchesToPixels(.3));
footer.graphics.endFill();
footer.x = 0;
footer.y = this.stage.stageHeight - footer.height;
this.addChild(footer);
* Center one DisplayObject relative to another.
private function center(foreground:DisplayObject,
background:DisplayObject):void
foreground.x = (background.width / 2) -
(foreground.width / 2);
foreground.y = (background.height / 2) +
(foreground.height / 2);
//cont.//
var title:SimpleLabel = new SimpleLabel("My Application",
"bold", 0xffffff, "_sans", this.inchesToPixels(.15));
this.center(title, titleBar);
this.addChild(title);
//override width and height getters
public override function get width():Number
return this.textLine.textWidth;
public override function get height():Number
return (this.textLine.ascent - 1);
if (Capabilities.manufacturer == "Android Linux" && Capabilities.screenResolutionY == 1024)
next_btn.width = 85;
next_btn.height = 85;
This is the code for my Dreamweaver CS4 file (without the additional erogenous code attempts!):

I have tried various combinations of the code listed above, but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure as to the correct 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!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.

Dreamweaver CS4 - Server Busy Problem
I purchased Adobe Suite CS4
several years ago, received a serial number, and successfully installed
all of the Adobe programs.
All of a sudden, when I click the
Dreamweaver CS4 shortcut, the
Dreamweaver background appears, with a "Server Busy" box, with the
error message "action cannot be
completed because the other
program is busy,
choose Switch or Retry". Retry
doesn't do anything, and "Switch To"displays the start menu.
I switched to Dreamweaver CS4 from the
all programs list, and Dreamweaver appears
without the "Server Busy" message, but then it reappears when
I attempt to set the site root folder.
I notice that there are two
Dreamweaver buttons at the bottom task bar (and that there are two
Dreamweaver programs in the task manager), but neither button functions
when I click on each one to try to close it. Deleting one or the other
from the task bar doesn't eliminate the error message.
In addition, Photoshop CS4 stalls
when it is trying to locate plug-ins. However, Flash and Illustrator do
execute properly.
Can anyone me advise how to solve this
problem?
Thanks,
Stuart Braun

If both DW and PS are giving you problems, I suggest that you verify whether your system requirements meet the demands of these software.

Problem with dreamweaver and Flash
Hi, maybe someone can help me, i have any problem with
dreamweaver and flash, i have a page and i have a menu and
sub-menu, and the same page i have a category en flash 550 x 700 (
photography and more... ) but when the menu to unfold
the menu to see under flash and it cant see ( sorry my
english is bad.... i hope you can understand me, and help me.. )
i dont now why always flash ever stay up, or first, and
another information under flash... this a problem... if you have
menus...
thanks.... have nice day.....This is a drawback of using flash or any other active
content. By default, all active content including flash will
display over every other content and thats why your menu stays
under the flash movie. Some people make the flash background
transparent to show content under the flash movie, but that will
not work for menu items.
I would suggest that you make the menu such that it does not
overlap with the flash movie. -
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

cd c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader

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
