Flash button in CS4

hi all
i am a newbie in web development. and i found dreamweaver very useful to me. but i was dissapointed in one thing. i wanted to know how to create a flash button in dreamweaver for my new site Face Anti Wrinkle. but i couldnt find a way. and whats more disappointing is that when i searched in youtube for a tutorial i found a way to do it in CS3 but not in CS4. so please help me out someone.

Apparently, in Dreamweaver CS4 they removed the option to create Flash buttons. If you want them you need to find another resource, such as CS3 or Flash, or possibly some other specialty software.

How to SHOW/HIDE a dreamweaver layer from a flash button?

I have almost 2 weeks tying to find a solution for this. Please help...
-How can you SHOW/HIDE an thml-dreamweaver layer from a flash movie button.
My html layer name is LAYER1, and my FlashMC botton name is FLBOT1
Now, what is the actionscript that im suppouse to place in the flash button?
Please respond, Thanks

Adobe removed Flash Text and Flash Buttons from CS4 for accessibility reasons. Flash buttons aren't web friendly. And if you use this approach, you'll need to work in Flash because DW doesn't write Action Script for you.
That said, you could do something similar without Flash.

Are There Preset Flash Buttons In Dreamweaver CS4

I have upgraded from Dreamweaver MX to CS4 and I'm looking for preset flash buttons that I can just insert within dreamweaver and I can't find any. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? I don't know how to create flash buttons just yet and If i need to start the journey of learning how please let me know. I'm editing a site I created in MX so I want matching buttons and such lol.

There aren't any flash buttons in DWCS4 anymore see Deprecated features in this link:

Rgds!

No more Flash Buttons in Dreamweaver CS4?

The removal of Flash button extensions are pretty pathetic. How much development money and time does it take to include and already existing feature?
Also, if no one uses them (Ya I was told in a previous post I seen) The why is Microsoft Expression Web including something sort of like them in their software!
The removal of these, after I have bought the already overpriced CS4 from CS3, has prompted me to look at other software development tools.
I been using Dreamweaver since the 1.0 version but now I'm starting to use Expression Studio for my development needs. I think it sucks that simple navigation buttons and includes are removed when they are included in even $20 pieces of Web Development software.
Some idiot actually posted that if someone needs to use navigation extensions, then they should use the CS3 for adding them! Why upgrade then?
For all the money your charging for your software it should make coffee for me too!

I have locked this thread. It's not really a discussion - just a rant. and it's a duplicate of a previous post.

Flash button link will not work in CS4

Can anyone walk me through step by step to get a flash button link to work in CS4? I tries action scripts 2 and 3... I cut and pasted a bunch of code on line, watched tutorials, and no matter what i do, the link won't work in CS4. The button looks and works fine, but won't go to the web site ot web page after clicking on it.
At this point, I am so confused, i think it would be better if someone walked me through step by step. My email is [email protected] I can email the button is that would help. Thanks.
Steve.

Hi,
This issue is fixed in Encore CS5.

Play sound behavior in CS4 fails to play sound on click of a flash button

For my college coursework I have created several flash buttons to use as track preview images. The button works fine however trying to get the track to play seems an impossibility!
I've inserted the SWF flash button into the place I want it in my table and added the "playsound" behavior to it to try and play the preview - no luck.
The sounds are currently 128kbps MP3s.
Any light into this matter would be much apreciated as i really want this to work

You need to code your MP3 Player in Flash with Action Script.
Check the Flash forums and specify which Action Script version (1, 2, 3) you're using.

CS3 Web Standard SE. Can't edit Flash buttons

I have an issue where I am unable to edit Flash buttons or
Flash text that have been created in DW CS3.
I am using CS4 Web Standard SE. A colleague of mine is using
the same software and also unable to edit these.
Until now I thought it was maybe a trial issue but have today
activated the software. But the issue remains.
Regards
Dave

It's not a Trial issue. It's a conscious design decision by
Adobe announced
in Aug 07.
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402489
Flash buttons and Flash text have always been ill conceived
features for
webpages.
Adobe recognised this by dropping them from DW CS4.
If you still want to keep them and edit them, use DW CS3.
However, consider using CSS styled buttons instead.

Say Goodbye to FLASH Buttons?!

Previous posts I've seen on the subject of Flash Button
extensions indicate that these options have been removed in the CS4
version!
One of the MODS wrote:
David Powers(Moderator)December 1, 2008
James, Flash text and Flash buttons were removed for several
reasons. First of all, they were quite primitive in the effects
they created. More importantly, many inexperienced designers used
them without understanding the implications of embedding text and
navigational elements in Flash. Any Flash elements need the user to
have the Flash player embedded in their browser. Although Flash
Player is very widespread, its use is not 100 percent universal. As
a result, such people see no content or navigation if everything is
embedded in Flash elements. If you understand how to use Flash, you
should create such elements in Flash CS4 Professional or Flex.
If this is true then I would like to be the one to decide
whether I should use this option for the Web I'm creating!
I'd really hate to manually have to add these codes into
everypage, and although I've used Dreamweaver since it's first
version, doing this may perhaps get me to re-evaluate whether or
not to switch to MS Expression which will me a hassle but all the
same I will do!
Anyhow, I hope this get's fixed, cause I think all of the
extension options are an important part of the software! Alot of us
have been using the software since it was first released, have
bought numourus extentions for Dreamweaver and I think it sucks
that these options are not included since they have been a major
part of the software from the very beginning!
What I add into the Website is my business and I would think
it would be in Adobes best interest to support the features their
customers use!
Comments anyone? (Please me kind :)

This is the point, not that many people use this feature and
keeping it around takes time and effort to make sure it still works
in the new version of Dreamweaver, time and effort that would be
better spent on testing and updating features that are used, as
well as any new features being added.
Remember that noone is pulling the old version of Dreamweaver
off of your system, so you should still be able use the older
version to access the old feature.

Where is flash button

Hi all
I'm looking for flash button on dreamwaver cs4 I can not find
it where is it
Thanks for help.

Thankfully, it's been removed, as has Flash text.
Using Flash for buttons or content was a bad idea 10 years
ago, and it's
even worse now.

Importing Flash buttons into Flash

I've created a nice button as a movie clip in Flash 10 CS4
Actionscript 3 so that the button changes with mouse_over and it
all works fine, both with Test Movie and separately playing the swf
file. The problem is I want to use this button in a variety of
Flash applications. I thought all I would have to do was to export
the button as swf and then import it into the new Flash program as
a button symbol and add the ActionScript code for mouse_click etc.
I didn't expect to be able to edit the button in the new program,
but I thought it would run OK. What happens is that the button
appears, but all the movie clip behaviour is missing -- it's just a
static object that doesn't respond to mouse_over. I've tried
importing it as a button and as a movie clip -- neither works.
Given my primitive experience of ActionScript and Flash, the only
work around I can think of is to put all the ActionScript code for
the button in each application. This will be a big task, as various
layers and scripts are involved.
There must be something simple that I am missing, but I can't
seems to find this problem addressed anywhere. Most people seem to
want to use their Flash buttons in non-Flash applications like html
web pages. Help, please, from someone who can make Flash sing and
dance (or at least more than I can) ...

You can copy and paste any item in the Library of one movie
to the Library of a second movie. If you do that, you can get the
button into your new movie. You will still need to bring the
actionscript over from one movie to the other. You can do this in a
similar copy and paste manner.

Flash buttons showing differently in browsers

I just used some simple, built-in Flash buttons (with no
spaces) for my nav bar in DW CS3. They look great and close
together in IE 7, but there is a gap between the buttons in Safari
and Firefox. Any simple explanation? Is it just how different
browsers render flash/html?
Thanks,
Brian

If you want to use Flash for navigation, 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 CS4.

Can't Select Flash Button?

I am trying to Insert>Media Object>Flash Button in Dreamweaver CS3 on my template page, but when I go to Insert>Media the only options I get are SWF, Flashpaper, FLV, Shockwave, Applet, ActiveX, and Plugin.
(I know, I should get an updated version, but the company I work for doesn't want to upgrade so I have to use Adobe CS3 programs)
Please help... thank you!

Nor will it work on screen readers, making your page inaccessible to individuals needing to use screen assistive devices. Nor will it work on any platform that doesn't have the right Flash player app. In short, Flash buttons are just a bad idea. That's why they were removed from CS4 and later versions of DW.
