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...

Error message when inserting built in flash buttons

Anyone help point me to a solution?
Previously worked fine - but now a problem. When wanting to
either add or edit existing flash buttons, all I get is "Error
unknown" - no ref ID to help me.
In the html editor window - I can no longer see the flash
buttons. They have been replaced with the greyed flash icons. The
flash functionality has just disappeared for some reason?
I run mac os x - and have the current MX 2004 upgraded
version 7.01
I've reloaded MX 2004 - but no good.
Any ideas anyone please?
BTW - I'm not an expert by any means - but just baffled and
frustrated!

Alan
Thanks for the pointer I will scan all of the code in the
morning for non-standard characters.
I do not see any with firs scan but I did change the path to
all of the files whan I moved the data to a new disc.
I went through DW and reset the paths in the site menus and
had it recreate the file map and the cache.
I did not get any errors for that process but that does not
involve the Java interpeter;-)
I will post the results later EITHER positive or negative.

trips up on the character and can't resolved the path to the

so it doesn't create Flash Text or Flash Buttons and gives an

And will give constant nags that "the selected homepage is

please do this.
open a new dw document using File->new

type some text, select it, and using the property inspector's

view the code, copy the link code and paste into reply.
See this technote:

it should be an absolute full hard drive path like this:

Unknown error on create flash button (CS2)

I'm new on Dreamweaver! I've tried to add a flash button in a
form but it prompt a "UNKNOWN ERROR" message. Please help!!
ThankS!!

I can solve your problem easily. Don't use Flash buttons.
Ever.
Consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate
internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
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?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons - and for
these reasons,
Adobe has removed Flash buttons and Flash text from the next
version of
Dreamweaver.

But the best solution is to not use Flash in this way.

Adobe Captivate Flash Buttons in Moodle

I am using flash SWF files to control Captivate Course in Moodle and I have trouble with CLOSE pop up window flash button. It works in IE and FIrefox but not in Chrome and OPERA when course is opened via Moodle. I have created simple html page with link that opens pop up window containing the same course and this way the button works in all browsers. ????? Again, in MOOdle it doesn't.
In Chrome Developer Tools I have tracked this error when clicking on close pop up window flash buttom: Ignoring cross-frame javascript URL load requested by plugin.
The button itself is using this AS3:
pbcExit_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myBtnClicked);
function myBtnClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()"), "_parent");
Does anyone have a clue what is the problem?
Thank you,
Vito

Could not create the flash button because a component of Dreamweaver is missing. Please reinstall Dreamweaver.

I have Dreamweaver MX 2004 and then upgraded to
Dreamweaver Studio MX 2004 and decided to upgrade to Studio 8. At
the time I got the Studio 8 I also upgraded my computer and now my
purchased flash buttons do not work on my system. I get an error
message Macromedia Dreamweaver Could not create the flash button
because a component of Dreamweaver is missing. Please reinstall
Dreamweaver. We tried uninstall and then reinstall and still no
fix. My husband tried the software on his lap top and they work
fine. I did have Contribute installed but uninstalled it . 1. What
would the missing component be? and 2. Why didn't the reinstall
work? Thanks for the help. I need to update a couple of sites that
use the buttons and can't so far. Carol

you probably have to install the Dreamweaver update so that
you're on
version 8.0.2. just search Adobe.com for Dreamweaver update
and you
should be able to find it pretty quickly.

Javascript call from a Flash button

I have 2 Panel Groups of 5 panels each and I made a Flash
button to controll them.
The following code works if the panels are both open but it
only works the first time.
Then the second time I get an error;
cpg is undefined
CODE:
on(release){
getURL("javascript:cpg.closeAllPanels();cpg2.closeAllPanels()");
This would need to work for both panelgroups even if only one
is open.
I tried using fscommand but not sure how to write it.

Hi Doug,
A few questions for you...
<ol>
<li>What functionality are you trying to achieve?</li>
<li>What version of APEX are you using?</li>
<li>When you say 'process', do you mean 'Page Process'?</li>
</ol>
There are definitely ways of submitting the page and triggering a page process to run via JavaScript, but it would be good to better understand your requirements first before proposing a certain solution.
Regards,
Anthony.

Flash button problem

Hi
I am quite new to actionscript but when building a simple app
that calculates amounts when you press on a button it only works if
I use a library button and not my customised one. I have checked
that the button is a button symbol and has four states but whenever
I use my own customised button I get error message...the library
button works fine with the actionscript.
Here is the error message I get with my custom button - any
idea why?
thanks
Em
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=buttons, frame=1:Line 2:
Invalid mouse event specified.
on(click) {
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=buttons, frame=1:Line 3:

Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3

Know the type of button:
1. Button Symbols made in library:
on (press)
on (release)
on (rollOver)
This appears the one you are deploying.
See
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00001752.html
2. The Flash Button Component:
... where there is a click event handler
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00003114.html
3. Custom buttons created with a MovieClip Symbol.
Use Actionscript and the methods for responding to events for
example onRelease -

Issue adding Flash Buttons

I'm trying to put flash nav button in a template that I built
for a web site. Within 'Inset Flash Button' under Link: I browse
for the .html page that I want to link the button to. When I'm
finished and click 'OK' I get a error message; this is a site
related Link. Please use either an absolute or document-relative
link.
All the .swf (flash buttons) files are in my Template folder
that also houses my main_elements.dwt file.
What an I doing wrong?
Thanks

Must you use Flash buttons? You can avoid this problem
altogether by using
ordinary graphic buttons or even CSS styled text. Besides,
there are many
disadvantages to the use of Flash navigation -
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...

Frustrating flash buttons

I've upgraded from GoLive and have installed flash
buttons/text on 2 sites. I started working on a 3rd site and now
every time I create a flash button/text I get the message :
"invalid name". Usually the name is xxx.swf. Just when I was
starting to like DreamWeaver.....arrrgh BTW I tried to post in the
General Discussion but every variation of my "nickname" was
supposedly taken--even when I just ran my finger across the
keyboards as I did with this nickname. Thanks for any help.
As a followup--I opened the index page from one of the other
sites and created and saved a new flash button with no
problem.

> If that's the case why does Adobe promote using flash
buttons and flash
> text on
> the Dreamweaver tutorial: Migrating from GoLive to
DreamWeaver?
It's a good question. Adobe is offbase with this promotion,
but they are
desparate to convince people that the migration is easy. It's
not.
Especially not if you don't have good facility with HTML and
CSS. Garrick
Chow should be ashamed of himself.
I have seen that invalid name error alert mentioned by others
from time to
time, but I'm not sure what is triggering it. Being as how I
wouldn't dream
of using Flash Text or Flash Buttons, I can't really help
you. But were you
not using them at all, it goes without saying that you
wouldn't have to
crack this nut. Why are you using them?

Flash button with dynamic text

I'm trying to create a flash button so that it can toggle
between "Sound On" and "Sound Off" but I feel like I'm doing
something wrong and it errors out on me.
I have a button on stage as, and in my up/over/down/hit in
different colors I have a dynamic text field identified as
sound_txt.
Here's the script I have so far for my frame:
stop();
mutebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,muteDo);
function muteDo(event:MouseEvent) {
if (mutebtn.sound_txt.text == "Sound Off") {
mutebtn.sound_txt.text = "Sound On";
} else {
mutebtn.sound_txt.text = "Sound Off";
and this is the error message I am getting:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no
properties.
at buttontst_fla::MainTimeline/muteDo()
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no
properties.
at buttontst_fla::MainTimeline/muteDo()
Can someboy please advise as to how I can get this to
work?

I tried bringing the textfield out of the button but while it
worked when I pressed the button portion that is not under the
text, it was the part of the text that got in the way from doing
anything. I wonder where I can find an existing example that works
the way I want it too so I can at least follow that example. I
think I tried making the dynamic text a movie clip but was still
getting similar errors.
Edit: I at least got it to work by converting the button into
a movie clip although I had also wanted it so that I could also
change the foreground color of the dynamic text upon rollover,
etc.

Adding PayPal code to Flash button

I want to use my own .swf button for PayPal payments with a "hidden format", but when adding the generated PayPal Website code to my html page, only a red X and the alt PayPal text is showing where the button should be. I have changed all Active X controls to Enable.
Every time I contact PayPal I get a different reply. The last one was that I have to add a "static" image, but I really want to use my own button.
I would rather find a way to paste the PayPal code into my buttons action script and then I only have to paste the Flash button to the html, but don't know how to manipulate that because the only code generated by PayPal is a "form" in html format. I am also adding text fields and guess that's why I don't get an generated email code from PayPal which I get if I don't add text fields.
Any ideas how I can transform the code generated by PayPal to my action script are welcomed. I have about 150 buttons to add!
This is my link: http://www.astondenwoodjewellery.co.uk/Jewellery%20html/Gold%20Rings/GR02_button_test.htm

I will definitely mark when I have managed to do this, thank you. Still can't get it to work and I don't know where I'm going wrong, but shall continue trying...
I have added the form in my html, but deleted the button which appeared as an X. Instead I've added my button with the code you gave me in AS.
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I keep receiving action script error messages:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=glas, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
