Dreamweaver flash text

I tried to manually edit the code with wmode transparency
settings, but it's still not working. I'm using the Dreamweaver CS3
Flash Text tool to create vector clean text and would like
background to be transparent

I don't believe you can do that with the Flash text tool. You
would just need to match the color.
Also it would be a good idea to not get too used to using the
Flash Text tool as the function is deprecated and will be
discontinued in all future versions.

Dreamweaver + flash = text layout problems.

hi everyone,
I have some small text near the bottom of my web page and when I add my SWF file it shifts the text out of position and I cant put it back without reducing the size of the flash files dimension which I don't want to do. How can I add the flash file without affecting where my text is?
the flash file will overlap the text but since I set its wmode to transparent I can still see the text so its no issue.
thanks everyone here is my code if needed.

Hi,
in CS5 it's the same procedure. Here you can see a screenshot of my (German) DW:
and the procedure in words (translated from my German DW is:
Create a really new subdirectory (optional in order to try, not a must).
Create a new html/php-file.
Work in designMode --> Insert Flash-Video.
Search/browse ---> yourFLV.flv
Skin: Halo Skin 3 (min. width 280) ( it was my choice)
width 640 ( it's my choice)
height 480 ( it's my choice)
I clicked all the boxes
---> And now away with all these files below (produced from DW) to your server.
Best you have a look with WIN-Explorer into your directory, to see all the files DW has created in your subdirectory and don't forget one):
YourFlv.flv
YourFlv.htm (or YourFlv.php)
Clear_Skin_1.swf (DW created it cause of my choice above)
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf (DW created it)
Here you can see a testversion of my own: http://www.goldschmiede-blumberg.de/AdobTest/flv/flv1.html
If you really did all these without any effort, please send us a link to your website.

Flash text "Invalid file name" error in Dreamweaver

I'm trying to create some flash text in Dreamweaver. But
after I've formatted the text in the dialog box and hit save, I get
the message "invalid file name" for my top.swf name. Can't figure
out why I'm getting the message, and it's not working. Anyone???
Working on this for a class and need to get my assignment done!
Thanks in advance!

> Too funny, thanks for the laugh. The name I'm trying to
save it as is top.swf.
> trying to create a "Top of page" navigation spot at the
bottom of my page.
> I've given up!
I'm guessing there is a "funky" character in the hd name or
in the path down
to the "local site folder"
please do this:
open a new file using File->New
--->do not save this file<---
type some text, select it, and make a link to something in
this site using
the property inspector folder icon to bring up the "browse to
file" dialog
box.
view source, copy that link, and paste into your reply.

Because of their serious usability problems, both Flash Text and Flash Buttons have been removed from DW CS4. There is no alternative method offered in DW other than the use of sIFR for Flash Text (not a good general replacement method) -
http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2004/08/sifr
or here -
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/articles/sifr_demo.html
and CSS-styled text for Flash buttons (an excellent and preferred replacement method).

Missing Fonts in Flash Text List

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Windows XP computer. In the
"Insert Flash Text" dialog box, in the font drop down menu, I am
not seeing all of my installed fonts. I see a few OpenType and a
few True Type fonts, but more than half of my installed fonts are
not showing up in the list. I can see all my fonts in the "Edit
Font List" box for creating font families in Dreamweaver. So I know
parts of Dreamweaver can see all of my fonts.
I am totally stumped why some fonts aren't available for
flash text. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You mean you are taking a class from an Adobe Certified

Troubles saving flash text (or buttons) in CS3

I have been trying to build a banner in dreamweaver cs3 with
flash text, but i can neither save nor apply the text as i keep
getting the error message,
"text1.swf is an invalid file name. Please enter a different
name."
and i continue to get the message regardless of whatever name
(with or without the .swf extension) I use.
help????

It appears to be at least partly related to what I mentioned, if not entirely. If you look in the html code you will see the following line...
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Your web page utilizes this file (Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js) to display the Flash content provided you have javascript allowed for your web browser. So you need to create the same Scripts folder on the server and place the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in that folder.
Alternatively, you could place it in the same folder as your html file and just lose the folder reference in the line of code, the important thing is that the web page laods that js file....
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Link flash text to center frame

Hello,
I generated a flash text with dreamweaver. This text should
be a link that opens in the center target frame. The problem is
that I cannot choose the center frame as target (only self, parent,
blank, top).... . What can I do to make the link open in the center
frame?
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

that' just the code to place the swf file. You need to get
into the .fla file...
However, I think I see what you mean... if you're creating
this entirely in Dreamweaver, then you probably don't have access
to the actual actionscript. It's also limiting when you just place
an flv within Dreamweaver because you can delete skins and many
other things.
how did you generate the text animation within
Dreamweaver?

Flash text won't display from web

I cannot for the life of me get my "flash text" to work in
Dreamweaver. It shows up just fine in the "preview in browser"
mode, but once I put on the web, it fails to show up in any
computer I have tried--including the one I made it in where the
preview worked.
Any ideas

Post a link to the page, please.

Edit Flash text without opening Flash?

In earlier versions of Dreamweaver, it was wasy to click on a flash text objet and edit the font and text. Now, in CS4, it defaults to the whole Flash program, which is most annoying. Is there a way to "unhinge" this function so that it works the old way?

calling text from an external txt file into flash has been an
option for as long as i can remember -
that said, there are hundreds of resources online for using
external text with flash. I recommend
going to www.kirupa.com where they have a very well written
tutorial on this with a source file.
hope this helps.

"Unknown error" when trying to save Flash Text

I get the message "unkown error" every time I try to save
flash text. Help topic in Dreamweaver 8 outlines the steps to take,
but not what to do if it doesn't work. I followed a thread for this
problem in the knowledge base, but it suddenly stopped with no
apparent solution. Please help!
P.S. I did as one responder suggested and opened a new page,
typed some text, and linked it to something in my root folder. File
path is: file:///Macintosh HD/Applications/Macromedia Dreamweaver
8/East Meets West/eastmeeetswest.html

Are you using mac os?
as a guess from years of this- there is a "funky" character
in the hd name,
your username, or a folder name in the path to this local
site folder. Dw
trips up on the character and can't resolved the path to the
local site
folder.
so it doesn't create Flash Text or Flash Buttons and gives an
Undefined
Error.
And will give constant nags that "the selected homepage is
not in the local
site folder"
please do this.
open a new dw document using File->new
-->don't save this file<--
type some text, select it, and using the property inspector's
Browse to File
folder icon make a link to this site's "homepage"
view the code, copy the link code and paste into reply.
it should be an absolute full hard drive path like this:
href="file=///hdname/Users/username/folder/folder/file.html"
technote: "File or folder name in Mac OS may break

functionality"

Flash text target _self problem

I am a graphic artist using Mac (Leopard) and have uploaded
my Dreamweaver-created portfolio to a personal web page at Comcast.
I have created 3 flash text buttons (HOME, PORTFOLIO, and RESUME)
and the target is _self. When navigating my pages should switch to
new pages but instead, new pages just keep getting added. This
works OK when I preview it in Dreamweaver, but online it keeps
adding new pages.
http://home.comcast.net/~susurrus/susan/

> 3 flash text buttons (HOME, PORTFOLIO, and RESUME)
Bad idea. If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider
this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...
> and the target is _self.
You cannot apply HTML attributes to Flash elements.

Can't Save Flash Text

Hello
I'm trying to create some basic flash text, but everytime I
try to save the "swf" file within Dreamweaver CS3's "Insert Flash
Text" dialog box I get the following error message,
"welcome.swf is an invalid file name. Please enter a
different name."
and i continue to get the message regardless of whatever
name I use.
I'm using a Mac platform.
Can someone help?
thanks

He's asking for the poster to copy the code and paste it into
a reply to
this forum so that we can all see what is happening.
Just so you'll know, using Flash text is always a bad idea -
the whole thing
is being removed from DWCS4 as a result.
> Here is my code, BTW:
> file:///DIANA'S 2G/Inclass Site/index.html
Never name your hard drive/computer using an apostrophe.
It'll drive you and
DW mad. Of course, we cannot see that file since it is on
your hard drive.
