Dreamweaver CS4 & inserting SWF

I read the other threads covering this before posting... The advise worked to some degree but I am still having issues.
1. Open html file from my server
2. Go to Insert/Media/SWF or Flashpaper or Shockwave - the result is the same no matter what
3. The result is the same & it works!! In Dreamweaver anyway....

Here is the result online: http://www.justimaginewebdesigns.com/portfolio.html
A box is visible but the show never quite starts.
Then if I close everything, delete all temps, etc. & reopen Dreamweaver to pull the file from the server, I get "This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them into the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again."
And I begin again.... Any insight would be hugely appreciated!!

Got it.... Just deleted every existing file and started from scratch. All I can think of is that it must have been remembering "old" info.

Dreamweaver CS4 problem: .swf banner

Good Morning
Im having a problem with an .swf banner that i have designed in flash and trying to get it to display on a website...
In the past this has never been a problem... simply "Insert" > "Media" > "SWF".... and make sure the file is in the same folder etc......
But since transferring over to CS4 the .swfs stopped working.... so as a quick fix we changed the banners to static images.... but this is not ideal.
It shows the swf in dreamweaver when in design view and you click "PLAY" in the properties... however it doesn't work when published nor does it work in the "Preview" it simply shows a white box... doesn't even register there is a missing file or anything... even when you right click on the area, it does not come up with the flash player details...
Can anyone offer any help on this issue?
Everything that has been done is in design view.... i have no clue about scripts...
Thank you very much in advance

Thanks for your reply. I cant post a link as its an internal website so therefore user name is required :/ however i have copied teh source code to see if this is of any help.........
Thanks again

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!

Dreamweaver CS4 and SWF Chat Room Question

I am installing a chat room and using a black HTML page to put it on as I want to have a certain background.and its a SWF file. I tried the play button but
nothing happens. I followed the directions from this site called: "Insert and Preview SWF Files."
I do have Adobe Flash 10 installed. The gray placeholder is there and I do have the two dependent files as well. Do I have to upload this to my server before I can test it and see if all is working properly. I can send the original zipped file to you if you want to see what i have. I was also playing around with it at first before I got the article ("Insert and Preview SWF Files.") and when i copied all the code from a number of different files it was all showing up but still did not work. The directions for the software give you a link to my files to put in and thats it and say to upload to my server.
Please let me know and if you need the software Let me know an email to send it to you. I dont see an "attach file" button in here.
Luanne (Bellamariecullen)

Hi there,
better post your question in the regular Dreamweaver General Discussions forum. The current forum deals with questions which are related to the Dreamweaver extension ADDT, which generates server-side code and has been discontinued over a year ago, that is, the number of fellow forum participants is much larger in the regular Dreamweaver forums.

Problem dreamweaver to insert swf flash movie cs6

when i isert in dreamweaver a movie created in flash cs6, i push the bottom of play for preview only show a white frame, the action no have. somebody have the solution plese share. Thanks

I don't see anything obvious in the code, unless there is an issue with the paths. For example, the following path is not likely to be correct:
../../../web140/sitedesigns/bradley/assets/audio/test.swf
But it is impossible to know for certain without seeing the page in its normal location. If you upload the files, including the dependent files, to a Web server we would be in a better position to help you.

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.

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.

Dynamic swf file into dreamweaver cs4

Good evening to all,
Can a basic slide show created in Flash cs4 using as2 to load the images dynamically be inserted into a Dreamweaver cs4 page ?
The swf file shows up but I can't figure out where to put the linking images so the 2 basic "next" and "previous" buttons work ?
Thank as always,
Fred...

When you load the swf file into the html page, that becomes the swf's reference for loading files. So if your structure has a folder containing the html file and another folder for the flash file and another folder for the images, as in...
main_folder...
     - html file
     - flash folder
          - - flash file
     - images folder
          - - image files
then you need to change where the swf file is looking for the images because when it is in the html page, that is essentially the folder it is trying to get the images to load thru.
For instance, if you originally tested using Flash with the swf file targeting the images using...
"../images/imagefile.jpg"
(or something like that... those dots confuse me at times)
and the structure is as I described, then when testing in the html file the targeting would need to be changed to...
"images/imagefile.jpg"
Just think of the swf file as living in the html file's folder as far as targeting any files it needs to load, because once it is loaded into that page, it has basically moved to that new location.

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".

HELP DREAMWEAVER CS4 NOT SHOWING SWF FILES

I have a presentation in 2 days in Tokyo. And I'm panicking.
I'm on am Intel Mac OS X 10.4.11.
I have the latest version of Flash Player 10 installed. (Not the brand new beta version).
I created a great website in Dreamweaver MX a few years ago.
I never had ANY issues with .swf files displaying until using Dreamweaver CS4.
I updated my photography portfolios in Adobe Bridge, and used Dreamweaver CS4 to link the updates.
NOTHING MORE THAN THAT!
Then, NONE of the .swf files that were always viewable are showing.
There is absolutely NO Flash content showing on any page of the site now.
Not even in browser view in Safari, or Firefox.
I uploaded the files along with the newly created SCRIPTS folder to my server, and still no .swf files are viewable.
These are NOT FLV files they are .swf files that were imbedded properly, and were always viewable. Until now.
I have to go to Tokyo in two days and give a presentation of this site.
What is the problem?
The attached files show the view in Dreamweaver CS4. The view in Safari, and the view in Firefox.
I'm screwed for a desperately needed job in Tokyo if I can't get this fixed ASAP.
Please help.

i think you are on to something here. but i am not sure how to go about fixing this.
are you saying the "../s
should be replaced with "S
where is this code located? in the source code of each page that has the swf files? i should replace it with the correct version you copy and pasted? and that should resolve the problem?
big thanks if this is the issue.
<script src="../scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
The correct link to that file would be this -
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Note the "S" in place of the "s". *nix servers are case sensitive.

Inserting swfs in ASP include files, CS4?

I'm having a problem inserting SWFs into ASP include files in CS4 and am wondering if there's a solution other than going back to CS3.
I've been adding pages to this site on a daily basis and at some point a few years ago we needed to start using ASP includes. The C-wrapper is in the ASP file and the content is in the included file.
Unfortunately, the way CS4 insists on adding SWFs leads to broken pages. The error in Firefox is:
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0139'
Nested Object
/MySite/MyFolder/MyTopic/include/includedFile.htm, line 93
An object tag cannot be placed inside another object tag.
So, MyFile.ASP uses include/includeFile.htm. The SWF is inserted into includeFile.htm. DWCS4 uses this code:
<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="510" height="384">
      <param name="movie" value="/MySite/MyFolder/MyTopic/images/oneOfMany.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="9.0.45.0" />
      
      <param name="expressinstall" value="/Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
      
      
      <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/MySite/MyFolder/MyTopic/images/oneOfMany.swf" width="510" height="384">
        
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
        <param name="swfversion" value="9.0.45.0" />
        <param name="expressinstall" value="/Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
        
        <div>
          <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
          <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
        </div>
        
      </object>
      
    </object>
I understand the problem with nested objects. I think what I'd really like is to keep CS4 but go back to the method CS3 was using to insert SWF files. This current method is especially difficult because when I change it and later reopen the file DW wants to "correct" it.
Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
Rob Mack

Okay, my solution was to go find the old CS3 code and make a snippet out of it. This way I always have a piece of code that works -sort of- and at least it stays consistant. It's a little more work now but if the old CS3 code for a swf is present then CS4 won't complain.
It seems to me that hard coding this into the CS4 product makes it kind of inflexible.
Here is the CS3 code. It works in a file that will later be included in an ASP file. The CS4 code quoted previously doesn't work.

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.
