Dreamweaver 'White Box' Issue

Hi guys
First time I've been here, and hopefully the first of many.
I'm really enthusiastic about learning web design and I'm starting
with creating my own company's website...
Trouble is I have annoying white boxes everywhere...I've
brought the file over from Photoshop to ImageReady and then into
Dreamweaver and I'm adding links, but as I add them it adds these
white blank areas.
Forgive my lack of knowledge, could someone please tell me
what I'm doing wrong?
Here's the link:
http://www.honeyandthemoon.co.uk/index.html
And some code (I have no idea about code, so if you could
please speak as simply to me as possible I would really appreciate
it):
Thanks, Steve.

First let me say that Dreamweaver will be a huge slog for you
if you don't
take the time to familiarize yourself with HTML and CSS. The
more you know
about these two, the easier learning Dreamweaver will be.
Second, I want to caution you about using *any* graphics
application to
write your HTML. The code produced by this method is just
unacceptable for
anything other than prototyping use. It's 'fragile' in the
sense that your
layout can fall completely apart as you add 'real-world
content' to the
pages. This happens because of the way that the HTML
'wizards' build the
page from your graphics files. To see how a best-practice use
of these
graphics layouts might lead to a stable HTML page, follow
this tutorial -

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/web_standards_layouts_pt1.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/web_standards_layouts_pt2.html
Finally, the border you are seeing around your images is
normal. It's also
easy to get rid of by using this little CSS rule in your
stylesheet -
a img { border:none; }

White box? SWF shows as white box in Dreamweaver

The SWF starts animating, but a white box will show for a
second and motion starts on /home.
on /portfolio and its lower levels the buttons showup but the
graphics dont...
Im a noob, but I know the home page is only 48k, so I wouldnt
guess size is an issue...
link

FTP it and include dependent files. Make sure the Scripts
folder and script
are on the server.

Dreamweaver CS4 flv problem / white box

Hello-
I have a very simple HTML page. I have a very small flv file:
271kb. Following the instructions I embed the .flv file:
INSERT>MEDIA>FLV
and the following code is generated by Dreamweaver CS4:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="640"
height="360" id="FLVPlayer">
<param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf"
/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=MatteFLASH&amp ;autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false"
/>
<param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />

<param name="expressinstall"
value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

/>
<param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />

The flv will NOT play in either browser. White Box Syndrome.
So I go to
http://freevideocoding.com
and get their code, as follows:
<embed src="
http://freevideocoding.com/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.undisclosedstudio.com/MatteFLASH. flv&autoStart=false"
width="640" height="360" quality="high"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
And my flvs PLAY JUST FINE. But they are old school.
How can I get Dreamweaver CS4 to embed these flvs so they
will play in browsers?
Please help! I'm stumped.
http://www.undisclosedstudio.com

This is still an issue as of August 20, 2009. I get the white box in both the testing server and the remote server. I tried the CS3 version of FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf to no avail. It does not work in either Firefox or IE. Running CS4 on Vista based PC.
Has anyone made any progress in fixing this?
Bill

White box of death! Trouble embedding swf into Dreamweaver!

So close to being finished! I notice this question on alot of other forums but its never resolved!
here is the site now:
http://http://www.andrewweeksphotogr...m/index_8.html
you will notice a slight flash of a white box before the preloader starts, i'm trying everything to make it go away! this box seems to be the same size as my embedded swf. the site and preloader are all in one swf. all i need to do is make that white box the same color as the background so it is unnoticeable.
here is the code from dreamweaver (you'll notice im sticking in color values wherever i can!)
help a gal out! many thanks!

IE Flash "white box" on hover (Eolas) issue

Hello,
I've been trying to embed a Dreamweaver-generated Flash
slideshow movie in a page on my site, and have run into the
scenario wherein a white box appears around the border of the
movie's region on the page when users of Internet Explorer first
visit the page and hover their cursor over it. I attempted to use
the fix outlined here, without success:
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
I'm a little uneasy about the massive parameter list
generated by Dreamweaver. Does anyone have any experience with
using this fix with Dreamweaver-generated Flash movies?
Below is the relevant code for the page:
var fo = new SWFObject("../graphics/indexslide.swf",
"header", "850", "500", "7", "#1C0F15");
fo.addParam("quality", "high");
fo.addParam("scale", "noborder");
fo.addParam("LOOP", "false");
fo.addParam("menu", "false");
fo.addParam("scale", "noborder");
fo.addParam("flash_component", "ImageViewer.swc");
fo.addParam("FlashVars",
"flashlet={captionFont:'Verdana',titleFont:'Verdana',showControls:false,frameShow:false,s lideDelay:4,captionSize:10,captionColor:#1C0F15,titleSize:10,transitionsType:'Fade',titleC olor:#1C0F15,slideAutoPlay:true,slideLoop:true,frameThickness:0,imageLinks:['
http://macromedia.com/','http://macromedia.com/','http://macromedia.com/'
copy.jpg'],bgColor:#1C0F15}");
fo.write("header");

Which DW are you using? If 8.0.2 or later, then the 'fix' is
already built
in. But the deconcept fix works well too.

The parameter list you show below was generated by DW? How?

Hi, purchased a I phone5s last evening, had to change it due to a hardware issue, got a replacement unit which comes in the white box, is it a brandnew device or a refurbished device, really worried, pls help thanks..

Hi, purchased a I phone5s last evening, had to change it today due to a hardware issue, got a replacement unit which comes in the white box, is it a brandnew device or a refurbished device, really worried, pls help thanks..

Hi, if you bought the product brand new and was provided to you defective, you must be provided with a brand new replacement. Furthermore, if anyone provides refurbished phones, it must clearly state this either on the box or in the paperwork for that phone.

FLV showing up as white box?

I'm uploading 2 flv files to our website. Both flv files were edited with Media Encoder to be changed into flv. This is not the first time I have uploaded flv files to our site. We add our tv ads via flv, on average, every 2 months or so. The procedure is always the same and I did nothing different with these new flv files. However, this time, the flv files are showing up as a white box on our site instead of loading the flv players as usual. The "live view" in Dreamweaver shows the videos correctly...the flv player loads and I can watch the tv ads.
I took both ads off the page and added an old tv ad, just to see if it would work and it worked beautifully. But when I put the 2 new tv ads back on, I get the white box again. I have revisited Media Encoder and redited the tv ads, added the reedited ads back to Dreamweaver, and reuploaded, but still I get the same white box. I compared the code from the old tv ad and the new ones and the code is exactly the same (except for filename, of course). I checked to see if the new tv ads were made differently from our old ones and they were not. The expressinstall and swfobject scripts are uploaded to our site already since we use various flash files on the site (don't know if this even matters!). And each time I upload, it is uploading the skin and progressive player as well.
I am at a loss! Nothing should have changed with our hosting company. I took an old, working tv ad off our website in order to put the new ones on. I have no idea where to go from here. The specific page on our site is www.ourphf.com/currentad.html. I've tried uploading the new videos in all different sizes as well, thinking maybe it was a size issue. Please help!

Your video isn't showing up because your SWF file is blank
http://www.ourphf.com/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
Is this the actual name of your FLV file?
PHF_%231_1-23-13_1
If not, you should rename your file without any special characters.

Flash 10 just shows a white box for flash elements in IE

I just installed the latest version of Flash 10 and went to see some of my websites that had flash video elemnts on the pages. They all now show up as just a white box wher the elemnts resides. I emediatly uninstalled flash 10 and went back to flash 8 & everything works fine. Has anyone else had this issue? Thank you.

Getting white boxes around images.. help!

I dont know whats going on. I havent used Dreamweaver in a
while and am having an odd issue.
Located here: www.gwoodsconst.com
I am getting white boxes around the images. Not sure what the
issues. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Your image contains the white box, not your HTML. If you
created it in a graphics program like Illustrator or Corel, the
anti-aliasing setting at export put a thin blur around the edges to
visually smooth the image
Crop the image by one or two pixels then reset your sizes so
it’s not distorted.
That will fix it.

White box where spry menu should be

I posted this problem a short while ago where I have a white
box show up in place of a horizontal spry menu. However, it is only
in earlier versions of IE. Someone replied that I needed to upgrade
to Spry 1.6 which I did but I am still having the same problem. I
am using Dreamweaver CS3. When you roll the cursor over the white
box, some of the menu does show up but way over to the right. The
menu shows up fine (centered top) in Safari and later versions of
IE.
Also, in earlier versions of IE, my hyperlinks are not in the
same place where they are in Safari and newer versions of IE. They
are positioned relative and at %'s.
You can see a sample of both issues on the webpage:
www.seanplatt.com/insidepage.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Down-level Poster.png just a white box on IE8

Hi everyone,
I've created a very simple Edge Animate banner consisting of a background image and two layers of text that fade in, it shows up perfectly in everything except for (understandably) IE8 and I assume IE7, all I see is a white box.
I inserted the animation via Dreamweaver using Insert/Media/Edge Animate Composition, it went into a "mainbanner" div with CSS:
#mainbanner {
          clear:both;
          width: 1000px;
          margin: 0 auto;
          border: 0;
          padding: 10px;
These code lines have been inserted into the <head> section of the Dreamweaver template and subsequent index.php page:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
This code was applied to the "mainbanner" div by Dreamweaver after doing Insert/Media/Edge Animate Composition:

<object id="EdgeID" name="EdgeID" type="text/html" width = "1020" height ="437" data ="../edgeanimate_assets/jb_mainbanner/Assets/jb_mainbanner.html" >
</object></div>
Don't know why the animation that has 1000px width has a width of 1020px shown in code when imported yet shows correctly as 1000px in the browser but hey!
I've checked that the down-level poster (Poster.png) I created has been linked to the animation; has been uploaded to the web server; is showing the appropriate static version of the animation but after one whole night of trying everything I can think of all I still get on IE8 is a white box!
Can someone please give me some help with this, many thanks in advance.
Chris

I've just made the Poster.png appear on IE8 by extending the CSS #mainbanner width to 1020px (despite the image being 1000px) and removing the padding temporarily. However two issues still remain:
The image is now not aligned with the header and footer so I need to insert padding again plus there is a still a white box behind the .png that I simply don't want!
At least I have made some progress since waking up this morning with a fresh head!
How can I remove the white box that looks like a placeholder behind the static png on IE8?

Dreadful White Box with embedded swf

Hi there,
this is my first forum post on Adobe but I have been scouring the forums across the internet and I am aware this is a common error but so far it would appear everyone has a different reason for this error happening.
Basically when I just run the swf file locally from my computer it works perfectly, I have succesfully managed to embed it into the home page of one of my sites... http://www.reelflies.ca - it is about 3/4 of the way down the home page. Now I have also managed to embed it on another one of my sites just as a test file and it works fine on its Html page... http://www.digitalbarn.ca/Reelflies-Slideshow/sitemap2.html.. So I feel rather confident that it is not a problem with my code.
Now when one of our advertisers try to put it on their site it simply will not show - just a blank white box shows - now even if I send them the exact code that we use and even have tried linking it to one of the sites (digitalbarn.ca) that it was previously working on. Nothing seems to work, this is my first stint into flash so it is possible it is a coding error on my end but for me to be able to get it to work on two sites seems to baffle me.
I have also read that it could be that the directory that the swf and related files are stored in may not allow this file type to play but even with a direct link to one of our sites that do have it working it suddenly stops working. The site does have other flash on their homepage as well so it is rather frustrating that ours will not work.
Oh I also wanted to add that I am using the Adobe CS4 suite for this. and testing has been run in Mozilla Firefox 3.5, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome. I have also been using firebug to try to figure out any issues myself on the advertisers website to no avail.
I apologise in advance as I am trying to answer as many of the initial questions I often see when researching this problem things may not come out totaly how I wanted.

Included below is my embed source. I used Dreamweaver CS4 to produce it, the Website that is having the grief is http://www.thenewflyfisher.com/ there is a black jpeg of our logo near that bottom of their page and below it a big white square, that big white gap directly below is where our flash should be playing. That piece of code currently is linking to their servers which obviously isnt working.
I ran tests on my Reelflies.ca page with the below code to no avail unfortunately. That code works fine on my digitalbarn site but when located on a different site stops working which confuses me as I would have imagined the direct links would have resolved that issue?
**edit: For whatever reason the quotation marks at the end of my link have been grabbed into the links so if testing the links just make sure you remove these from your browser address bar.
This is included in the header tags

This is the embed code contained where I want the swf to play on the site.

Hanging at white box before playing progressive download

I began this discussion over on the Dreamweaver forum but was advised to move it here.
Been tearing my hair out for days. I have several flv files displaying just fine on my website. All I am am trying to do is replace an enormous .flv file with a smaller file of the same movie. The new smaller file is just 25 MB, compressed with a bitrate of 1000kbps. The test page that contains the smaller file previews just fine of course in Dreamweaver, but after uploading the clip, the html page, the .swf files (in the same directory) and the Scripts folder to my host's ftp server, the browser shows me that dreaded white box on my test page for a full seven minutes until the file loads up completely. Then it plays through beautifully with no buffering. On the other pages of my site, the videos all show up without such a wait, even the enormous 179 mb flv!
Here's the test page:
http://www.ponyhighway.com/emz-test2.html
The original page, which is working fine (except painful to view because of too large .flv file ), and from which the test page was created, is:
http://ponyhighway.com/emz.html
Flash videos also playing fine here:
http://ponyhighway.com/otm.html
I've scoured the code between the two pages (test and original) and can see nothing different except the name of the video clip.
Could there be something quirky with the FLVPlyer_Progressive.swf?
Some issue with moving between CS4 and CS3? (I'm now on CS3)
Something odd or extra in the code on the test page that I'm just not seeing?
BTW, I've asked for AutoRewind, but NOT AutoPlay (through Dreamweaver).
Thanks in advance for any help given.

Well now I get to come back with my tail between my legs to say that the solution was one of those really dumb, DUH kinds of things...
Just in case this can help anybody else I'll tell my sad story.
In an effort to get my flv file size WAY down, I was using a compression formula I got from one of the FCP gurus. But it was meant for making files to upload to youtube, so he had suggested keeping the streaming setting at "None," and setting the bitrate to 4000, since youtube would be adding further compression on their end. Silly me forgot to switch to "Fast start" for the progressive download. That was the key. Along the way to this revelation, I learned a ton about compression...I got my file size WAY down, and lowered my bitrate considerably as well (900), so although there is still some buffering on a slow connection, its not too bad, and a GIANT improvement over what was there before.I can live with it
Here's the new page:
http://ponyhighway.com/emz.html

A little white box appears in my browser window, and I am unable to do ANYTHING in Firefox, I can't even close the window.

I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8, so I know that Firefox should be working. The very first time I downloaded Firefox, I was able to use it for about 20 minutes, and then I kept getting some kind of white box (just small) that would pop-up over top of the search bar. Once this box showed up, I was unable to do anything in the browser...I couldn't close it, search, choose "file"...NOTHING. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times, and it still doesn't work.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Creative Cloud App just showing blank white box! Cannot install Photoshop

I'm trying to install a Photoshop trial - have followed instructions to install the CC app. The icon appears on my desktop and a Creative Cloud folder appears in my Explorer folder but when I click on the CC app, all I see is a white box.
Occasionally, I have managed to get list of apps to show - but when I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, again it goes to a blank white box. Can't do anything! No spinning icon showing that something is loading - just blank white.
Very frustrating. Just want to download the trial so I can decide if I want to buy. Am on Windows 8 (64 bit). Have tried uninstalling and re-installing using a different browser (Firefox & Chrome) but still same result.
Please help!!
Thank you,

Hi again Jeff - I just read on a similar thread that another user had the same issue with blank CC app and realised the problem was her username having an ampersand "&"
I have an ampersand also in my username on the computer - do you think this might be affecting the issue?
She gave instructions for changing the username (although the link is for Win 7 and I'm using Win 8) - but I'm nervous about changing big system things like that. What happens to "permissions" on certain folders - am I likely to be locked out of making changes in certain folders?
Here is what she wrote on that thread:
If you have ampersand (&) or other non-alphabet characters in windows user folder name (Example: C:\Users\Bob & Mary), then Flash Builder will fail to install (happened to me), Creative Cloud will display white screen, and/or other miscellaneous problems.
I confirmed this to be true and works:
1) I had blank Creative Cloud window as shown in the first post.
2) I renamed the display username and window user folder name by doing the instructions here:
http://www.ghacks.net/2011/03/28/how-to-change-a-windows-account-name-and-user-profile-fol der-name/
(Example: Change from "Bob & Mary" to "Bob n Mary" - without the quotes)
3) After logging back in my newly renamed account, I opened Creative Cloud and login interface shows up! :-)
I would prefer not to do this if you have another suggestion? But just thought I'd mention this as well to see what you thought.
I have also since tried uninstally CC, deleting both the OOBE folder and the AAMUpdater folder, then re-installing CC again... same result. I always get to the list of Apps fine but the minute I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, the whole App window goes to a blank white screen and freezes.
Thank you.
