Dreamweaver/Flash Help!!!!!!!

Question

So this is my first time using either of these programs, and
my head is spinning.
I have a few questions,and any help would be GREATLY
appreciated.
1. How do I create a flash button from a picture in my comp?
2. How do I save that in flash to prepare it for Dreamweaver?
3. How do I put that flash file into Dreamweaver w/out the
white box around the pic while it plays??
4. How do I move the icon to anywhere on the screen?
I know it's a lot... but as I said... I'm LOST and about to
pull my hair out!! Thank you so much for any help!!

Firstly I would suggest that you work through the tutorials
that come with
Flash on how to create buttons as this will be useful to you.
Flash Buttons
in DW are based on predefined templates that are quite
different from a
button created in Flash. There is no ability to add images to
the DW flash
buttons, however I have a tutorial on the Adobe site on how
to create your
own button in Flash and use them in DW. The link is
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/flash_buttons.html
In terms of the white space you can use the Wmode parameter
in the DW code
to set the background of the flash file to transparent which
should solve
the problem.
In terms of placement you would need to place the flash file
inside of a DIV
and then you could position to the DIV.
