Dreamweaver/Flash Image/Link

Hi. Thanks in advance for any help. I design a small website
for the company I work for using Dreamweaver as the main program. I
have never placed a Flash image before and cannot figure out how to
place a link to another website on this image.
Here is what I have now:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"

<embed src="../images/NOLN_banner_v1.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="392"
height="72"></embed>
</object>
I need to link this to another website other than my own. I
thought it would be like any other image in Dreamweaver. Help?
I guess I should mention the Flash image was provided by a
company wanted it linked to their site.

It's completely unlike any other HTML element, since it's
EMBEDDED in the
page, not actually on the page.
You cannot add a link to a Flash element using HTML. You must
add this link
in the Flash Actionscript. To do that, you would have to have
Flash, and
the SWF file's parent FLA file....
Perhaps you could ask the provider to make the link for you?

I just googled and found lots of folks with the same problem. One fellow wrote this as a soluton:
"All you have to do is
remove the values from the imageLinks in the flash element. That
should fix it."
Does it?

Add Link to Flash Image

Hi,
I'm a bit of a newby to dreamweaver and flash. I've made some
nice buttons in flash so when you rollover and click they change
colour, make sound etc. Thing is, I thought when I imported these
into dreamweaver I'd be able to just add a link and target like
most other things. WRONG. cant see anywhere where I can add a link.
Is this possible? I want to be able to click the flash image (in
the top frame) so it opens the relevant page in the main frame.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Peter

Frames? EGAD!
The decision to use or not use frames should be based on a)
your site's
needs, and b) your willingness to accept the potential
problems that frames
can create for you as developer and maintainer of the site
and for your
visitors as casual users of the site.
I am down on frames because I believe that they create many
more problems
than they solve.
Judging from the posts here, and the kinds of problems that
are described,
the kind of person most likely to elect to use frames is also
the kind of
person most likely ill-prepared fo solve the ensuing problems
when they
arise. If you feel a) that you understand the problems and b)
that you are
prepared to handle them when they occur, and c) that you have
a need to use
frames, then by all means use them.
As far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of
frames and their
potential problems can be found on these two links -

Image Link Problem with Dreamweaver CS4?

On my website, I have several images that link to other parts on my website. These work no problem when I preview the site, but after I test the links, the images that had those links have purple outlines that really clash with my website's design. Will users see this if they click on my links, and then return to the page? I'm using CS4 right now, and never recalled having this issue come up when using MX. Thanks for the help.

I got stuck on this one too - not realising that Dreamweaver automatically palces a border on every image link - but the simplest way I found was to have my "Properties" panel showing on the bottom and input 0 into the "Border" box. By having this panel open you can see if you have accidently applied any styles to the image, where it links to, Image size attributes and the Image name.

Please see my answer to this thread - http://forums.adobe.com/message/2359583#2359583.
If that is not the problem, check the naming of your image links.

Dreamweaver querry image rotator vs flash animated slideshow

Hello
I am working to create a website.
On the header I dont know what is better to use a dreamweaver querry image rotaror or is it better to import
a flash slideshow?

jQuery is a widely used JavaScript library with lots of cutting edge plug-ins.
http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/
Almost anything you can do with Flash you can do equally well with jQuery. And it is supported by most web devices (including Smartphones and iDevices).
Flash is not as well supported by mobile devices and it carries quite a bit more bandwidth.

Flash image gallery into dreamweaver cs3

I put a flash image gallery into my web page using dreamweave
cs3 and every things working but the images from the image gallery
do not show up. How do I connect the images to the flash file in
dreamweaver.

Getting a 404 error for
http://www.jenspaeth.com/home.swf
before I even
bring a mouse over the screen.
I'm guessing that
http://www.jenspaeth.com/Jen
Site/Shell.swf is
attempting to load that file and cannot find it.
Did you upload home.swf and any other relavent files to the
root of
www.jenspaeth.com? Or is it supposed to be in the "Jen Site"
folder?
You should not use spaces in folder/file names.

Absolute image links in Contribute/Dreamweaver

Can anyone tell me how to force Contribute to make all the
image links absolute (i.e.
http://www.adobe.com/images/sampleimage.jpg)
in Dreamweaver.
I want to send out html emails and I spec out absolute links
in Dreamweaver but when I edit the html document in Contribute, the
links get changed to relative.
HTML emails need absolute paths. I've read that Contribute
fixed this in CS3 but I just bought Contribute the other day and my
links keep switching back.
HELP!?!?!?!
Thanks in advance!
Rodney

How will you send the emails? Will you use an email-client on
the client-side or create a server-side solution?
Server-side:
I solved this Contribute problem by using PHP and
str_replace.
$strMessageStrip = $_POST['message'];
$strMessageStrip2 = str_replace("../", "
http://www.yourdomain.com/",
$strMessageStrip);
$strMessageStrip3 = str_replace("../images/", "
http://www.yourdomain.com/images/",
$strMessageStrip2);
etc...
Client-side:
The only solution I can think of is creating Editable regions
for the text and use default image positions outside the editable
regions and let your client change the images by putting new images
on the server with the same name as the old ones.

Dreamweaver CSS Mac writes image links wrong... img src="/www/images/asian_sales_office.jpg"

Dreamweaver CSS Mac writes image links wrong... <img src="/www/images/asian_sales_office.jpg" width="x" height="x" alt="x"> Took me a bit to find this, now back to hand coding all image links and also checking other code. Any fixes?

That looks to me like you may have your site definition set up incorrectly and you appear to be using "Site Root Relative" vs "Document Relative"
Go to Site > Manage Sites > click the site you are working on > Click the Edit icon > Advanced Settings > Links relative to: should be set as Document, unless you have a very specific reason for choosing Site Root there
If your server root folder is called www, you'll need to remove that folder from your site root. You are only transferring files from root to root, so the name of your local root folder is not important (the files inside it go to the server root). It is important not to accidentally have a duplicate of the server root folder inside your local root though which would accidentally nest your files within another folder when transferring to the server.

Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer ImageLinkTarget Problem

I'm using the Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer component to make
a quick Flash slideshow.
I've set the ImageLinkTarget parameter to "_blank". However,
in the slideshow, mouse rollovers show
a hand cursor, but clicking opens the larger image in the
same browser window. Everything I have read says that
this setting should cause the link to open in a new window or
tab.
I have posted the code. If anyone has ever experienced this,
please let me know how to fix/work around it.
Thank you.

I'm just a user, like you. And I'd rather you not send things
directly to
me unless I request you to do this. If you have a problem
that cannot be
solved here, then your next option would be to contact Adobe
Tech Support
directly. I'm not very familiar with the Flash side of DW, so
I cannot be
of much help in this regard.

Image with link functions in Firefox, half of the image/link is active in Chrome, image/link dead in Safari

I have a page with 2 nav links originating from 2 different images. 1 image / link works well with Firefox, Chrome and Safari. The other image / link works well with firefox, only half of the image is active in Chrome and none of the image is active in safari. The documents links checkout fine. I have replaced the image, the container as well as relinked. The result is the same. Can someone help please? Here is a link to my site (in progress) PikiPiks: film reviews Only the first 2 images in the left column are currently linked. The first image / link for "Kiki's Delivery Service" is the problematic one. Thanks! MacOS 10.9 / Dreamweaver CS6

Fix the code errors.

I won't even talk about the liberal usage of absolute positioning -- none of which is needed. You'll soon learn that this is not the way to build web pages when this comes back to bite you in the butt. It almost looks like this layout was created in another program. Was it?
#1 On the web file names cannot contain special characters like apostrophes. <a href="Kiki'sDeliveryService.html"> is not a valid file name. You need to rename without the apostrophe.
#2 This link is pointing to a file on your local hard drive which nobody except you can see.

Flash Image Gallery

I purchased the Flash Image Gallery Extension. Installed and
created several beautiful working galleries.
In my image gallery (link below) there are Category titles
176, 186, etc.. When you click the titles it changes the thumbnail
pictures, while the main image remains the same.
Question: I'd like to click on a Category Title and have the
Main Fullsize image change as well. This would help visually to see
that you have in fact changed to a new category. As it is now, it
is not evident that you've changed category. You have to go to the
tn images and click there.
Can you give me some direction on how accomplish this?
Perhaps a behavior - when category title is clicked on the main
image will appear for that category? Seems like a simple edit. Can
I do such an edit on a purchased gallery template file extension?
New to flash, quite familiar with DW CS3. Below is a link to
my gallery:
My
Gallery Link

Hi
These can be linked together - it will need you to change the
destination of the 'Front Page' link (URL) to point to the
appropriate 'Gallery', in the XML you can identify sections by
using the same 'Gallery Id' from the link (URL) in the 'Front
Page'.
Does that make sense?, if you need more help then let me
know

Dreamweaver / flash/ xampp

hi,
I am currently designing a website using dreamweaver cs3. I
am using xampp apache as my testing server on my computer which
works fine when i test my site.
I have just added a flash image in dreamweaver by clicking on
insert - media - image viewer and then inserting the images i want
to loop. This works fine in dreamweaver, but when i come to preview
the page on my test server nothing appears where i inserted the
flash image.
Please could you advise what i need to do, as i want to make
sure everything works fine before i host the site on the internet.
I'm using xampp apach as the local test server.

Hello,
When you preview your page, you no only need to upload the
page you just created, but also the flash file you inserted.
I don't know why, but when you preview the page, everything
but the flash files gets imported into your xampp folder. So, just
put that flash file in your xampp folder, and it should
work.

Flash Image slideshow help

Hello,
I am trying to make a image slideshow for my companies new website.
I used the Flash Image Viewer plugin from Dreamweaver, but it doesn't contain the transitional effect desired.
Every tutorial I find talks about advancing the images through an interactive control, I just want the images to change by themselves and do a fade transitional effect between images.
Can anyone please point me to a tutorial that has this w/o the intractive buttons? I have been looking on the internet for hours and can only find tutorials / example w/ the intractve controls.
Thank You for any positive direction in this.

Hmm... no luck so far. Thank You though for your suggestion.
I am really "green" to flash and was only confused by the template provided by Flash.
All I need to do is have images fade in and out of each other and then repeat over and over.
I know this isn't too hard. I found a tutorial that showed how, but my Firefox decided to close and I lost the page and haven't been able to find it since. Tried the history log, but no luck.
I will keep searchin...I know it's out there.

Flash image viewer, picture scale problem in CS3

Please someone help me. I have built a website 3 years ago, and I still have this problem. In CS3 I added a flash image viewer (slideshow.swf) as a slideshow to show gardens we have made. When you first visit the site and look at the pictures (wich are bigger than the viewer window because of picture quality issues) they don`t shrink to fit into the viewer window, you only end up seeing a fraction of them. But when they download and you go back to see them again a second later, they become the right size. It also swiches to the right size when the loop play gets back to the first pic again.
In the flash element properties I tried the different scale settings, and looked at other settings too but I couldn`t make it work.
I think making the viewer window as large as the pictures, would look odd. Maybe buying on other slideshow program to insert into dreamweaver would work.
If you would like to see the site its: tsugagardens.com , than look in the photo gallery and after the pics download go back with the back button and see the difference in the pics.
Thank you for your efforts,
Tibor
