Dreamweaver - insert/media/Flash

I have lost the same content on the same Webpage several
times.... :( Here's how it goes...
I have a templated html page that includes Flash and an xml
file.
In DW, created html content then insert/media/flash
Preview - looks great
Close DW
Edit SWF/FLA in Flash and publish - same name/path/etc.
Save and close Flash
Reopen DW to preview and/or /edit html page
The html content is gone and in its place I have the
following message (in Design view)
// Provide alternate content for browsers that do not support
scripting // or for those that have scripting disabled. Alternate
HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the
Macromedia Flash Player. Get Flash [this, of course, is a link to
Macromedia]
So, today, in DW, I removed the Flash content first - deleted
it, edited the page, saved & closed.
Edited Flash, saved and closed.
Reopened html in DW - same problem - html content is gone.
Only the Flash content is displayed on page preview.
I have had to recreate this page about 4 or 5 times and I do
not know how to prevent this problem.
Help! :((

I just gotta ask... What are your Publish settings in Flash?
It "sounds" to me like you are publishing both the Flash .swf file
and the HTML, which is then writing over your html file. Call me
crazy... LOL

Insert Media Flash Video

I'm having trouble viewing a flash video that I've inserted
using: Insert, Media, Flash Video. I can view the video ok in IE7
and Firefox when I preview the page from Dreamweaver, but not
online.
http://www.swail.com/Untitled-1.html
(sample page with problem)
I have the video file uploaded to here:
main/KenBowden_Swail_BN1.flv
I have the Scripts folder uploaded in the root dir on the
same level as the page.
I've done this successfully in the past with other web
sites....what am I missing here?
Any help is appreciated!

Insert Media Flash Video... pre-loader question

Hello everybody
I'm desperately looking for a solution regarding the
following problem: I've inserted a rather long flv video (insert -
media - flash video) into my site. Visitors with smaller bandwith
have to wait up to 30" until the video starts playing. I either
want to show them a screen saying: "video is going to be buffered -
please wait" or to include an adaptive preloader that shows the %
until the video will start playing. How can this be achieved?
Thanks for all of your input, because this issue is very important
to me and time is running for the project...

Can you divide your long video into several small clips or
chapters? Then
just put all the clips into a common player like this one
from Coffee Cup -
and loop them together.

Insert/media/flash - not hearing

Hi all...thanks for reading this...
have html file, insert/media/flash puts in a swf file that has sound.
when, in prop pal. click 'play' in the html file, and sound is fine
am using root relative links and temp. file preview.
dont hear sound when previewing locally.
2 items on page: a pic and next to it the small .swf sound embedded flash file
dont hear sound when uploaded.
what do you think?

Thanks ever so much.
Warmly,
Hope
Hope you're having a nice day.....

Dear Ned,
You are a darling...thanks for answering...
Ok, will do better here.
Am using root relative site organization, and therefore have selected the option in preferences: preview in browser: 'use temporary file' (one has to do this when using root relative).
Am relatively new to doing site development this way.
With that in mind, am just putting a .swf file that plays sound, into a dw page, using the insert/media/flash
this is how it looks: see above....u can see the flash file next to the picture in the top right corner.
When previewing in this view, by clicking the 'play' button in the properties palette, the sound is fine and working.
When previewing it locally, in the browser there is no sound, when uploading there is no sound.
What do we think is the problem?
here is actual uploaded page that no sound is heard from...lol
http://test.mvvision.com/song.html
Page that u click to get that page: Click: 'Song' icon
http://test.mvvision.com/media.html

Lots and lots of thanks dear one,
Warmly,
Hope
p.s. how was that, any better explanation.....(-:
it is working on this page which was made in a document relative site, previewing locally the regular way:

Newbie..how to insert a flash object

I've got the 'Dummies guide', and am following it through.
I've created some simple pages but now want to insert an .swf
file that was created by someone else - but dont have the options.
I've read about extensions - but there are thousands - and i don't
know whcih to get.
ANy help appreciated

Click in your page where you want the SWF to go, then select
Insert > Media > Flash from the menu (or maybe Insert >
Flash ... DWMX goes back a way).

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.

Inserting a Flash Movie with Dreamweaver

I'm trying to insert a .swf file into my html using
Dreamweaver8. I go to inset-media-flash video, browse to my file
enter the width and height and click ok, and I receive this warning
everytime: "The URL cannot contain spaces or specal charaters.
Change hte path or file name and try again." The file is located in
my main directory of the website, and the file is titled
clienttv.swf. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, This file is a television commercial buit in avid and
compressed in squeeze, but I don't have the .flv file, only a .swf
file.
Is there a way to convert my .swf to .flv, or is there a way
to add a skin to my .swf file so that I have the movie controls
(play/pause, stop)?
thanks,
nofx1728

Jpeg's insert as flash

I have a page with thumbnails pointing to full sized
pictures. every so often when I insert a jpg thumbnail in
dreamweaver I get the Flash logo instead of the image and cannot
seem to correct this ? I have looked through forum topics but don't
really know what to call the problem to do a proper search. it
seems most people want to use flash... in my case I do not want to
use flash. I could find no setting to turn off. I'm using
dreamweaver 8 and this is a sample page that shows the problem ...
http://www.athletics.psu.edu/recsports/ChampionFILES/championsSUMMER.htm
... you can see most of the images appear as they should...
but under the word CANCELED on the right I inserted a jpeg
thumbnail that shows up as a flash object instead and all I get is
a white square. It doesn't show as an image within dreamweaver
either. I hope this makes sense - I don't know how else to explain
it. I hope someone can help me - it's a very frustrating
reoccurring problem for me.

What is the exact procedure you are using to insert these
images? The only
way you could get the code that is present on the page for
that particular
image would be if you had used INSERT | Media.

Exporting Photo Gallery from LR3 into established webpage DWcs5 via Insert Media SWF, help?

This is what it's stuck as a spinning loading circle, but never loads!
The images are all resized to max dimension of 800px, so it's not a size>loading issue. I've Put all files, even dependents (as that helped before).
This is what the code looks like:
<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-4… width="741" height="469">
<param name="movie" value="Galleries/Weds/resources/gallery.…
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="swfversion" value="8.0.35.0">

<param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf">
<param name="BGCOLOR" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="base" value=".">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">

The template that I'm using is a user created one, but basically the Pure White, but shut off rows and columns and turn all the font and everything but the photo borders and the button directions to white. You should end up with nothing but the picture with a border and the buttons below it. Again, it was a lightroom flash gallery. If you look on the website now, I substituted a simpleviewer gallery, so don't use that as a reference anymore. =P What it basically showed up as was the spinning loading circle, but it worked in lightroom fine. Although! It did Not work in Lightroom's Preview in browser. The page opened and remained blank without the loading symbol.
Identity Plate: Off
Picture size: X-L (tried with all sizes, really)
Quality: 80% (have increased and decreased)
Sharpening: Standard (tried low already)
Watermarking: Off
There are 9 images 800px at max point apiece. I'm exporting, not uploading it, to my site root folder in DW for the main page. Then insert>media>swf so on and so forth. =]

Try asking around on this as I guess not many users are doing what you are.
Try here and here
Good luck !!

Inserting Media in Preformatted Page

Hello,
I am using a preformatted page that has a: Header, Sidebar,
Maincontent, and Footer
The header is fine,
The Sidebar is fine,
the footer is fine
but when I use the main content and try to insert Media: FLV,
on different browsers, it doesn't seem to line up as in Firefox?
browser: IE7: at home always asks for upgrade to Adobe flash
player?
Browser: Firefox: All OK
Browser: IE6 and below: doesn't seem to line up properly?
Although on different pages created the same way, they
operate differently:
Here is my webpage(s):
http://www.groggfamily.myhpfamily.com:81/Washington/WashingtonDC.html
This lines up properly IE6, IE7 (at home), FFX
http://www.groggfamily.myhpfamily.com:81/NewYork/NewYork.html
This does not line up at the top like the Washington DC? IE6,
IE7 doesn't line up, FFX OK?
http://www.groggfamily.myhpfamily.com:81/wedding/wedding.html
Lines up good on all browsers
http://www.groggfamily.myhpfamily.com:81/weddingvideos/weddvid.html
this is the video(s) and lines up below the sidebar? OK
though in FFX, Asks for upgrade in IE7, IE6, lines up below
sidebar?
all pages were created using DW CS4 using the same method or
template?
Maybe I am doing something wrong?
Can anyone help?

Inserting a flash photo gallery in a column

Hi
I usually work with frames but I now started a new site using
the default HTML 2 columns template. One of the columns will hold
my main content. I'm trying insert a flash photo gallery in the
column but this gallery (SimpleViewer) has its own index.html file.
Is this possible and how can I do it?
Thanks!

Help inserting a flash video into my web page

Hello!
I'd love some help inserting a flash video into my web page. My web page is hosted by Viviti, templated, and edited online. I can add html to it, and I have the html source for my flash video. I also have uploaded the flash file to the server. Since I am very html illiterate, though, I need some help rewriting the html script so it can be published. There are two problems- firstly, no 'headers' or 'body' allowed in the script- these are already a part of the template. Secondly, I don't know how to rewrite it to refer to the uploaded files. It's also imperative that the full screen mode functions. I've pasted the source code for the flash video here. Please help!!!
Thanks!

What you basically need to do is copy the sections of content from the code you show into the template (assuming the template already provides the <head> and <body> sections of the page. So in the head section of what you show, take everything starting with...
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
all the way down thru...
</script>
, inclusive (in the head section only), and paste that into the head section of your template.
Similarly, take everything that lies between the <body> ... </body> tags (exclusive of the body tags) and paste it into the body section of your template wherever you plan to display the Flash file.

Compatibility problem with macro media flash active control

I am getting a message on my screen "compatibility problem with macro media flash active control, it isnt compatible with my version of windows (vista). How can this be fixed? why am I suddenly getting it now? I have the latest Adobe flash player installed.
Trisha

the latest flash is probably the problem... it's seems that the latest flash has been causing a boat load of issues. i did a system restore to undo the flash and mozilla upgrades and it's still crashing but not as bad as it was with the upgrades.
