Flash Button insert error

Hi
I currently using dreamweaver 8 on a new macbook. When I want
to insert a flash button to page I get the following message :
IDS_ERR_UNABLETOCREATEVM. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix
this? I've exhausted all avenues!

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 the next
version of
Dreamweaver.
Also, since you replied to a very old post, many of us have
no idea what
your symptoms are. Care to repeat them?
But the best solution is to not use Flash in this way.

Flash Video Insert Error

When I try to insert a flash video via Insert > Media >
Flash Video, I get
this error message: "URL cannot contain spaces or special
characters........"
The link shows "../flash/test1.swf " - a relative path in
Dreamweaver
8.
Any ideas to the cause, or a workaround?

If you use Insert > Media > Flash Video it is expecting
a .flv file
(although the error message is ambiguous to say the least).
I'm fairly sure
you need Insert > Media > Flash for a .swf

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
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

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.
See this technote:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14452
it should be an absolute full hard drive path like this:
href="file=///hdname/Users/username/folder/folder/file.html"

Is it possible to have a link/button inserted into the end of my flash video that makes up the first page of my web site

i am not sure if this will make sense so please tell me if it
doesn't. is it possible to have a link/button inserted into the end
of my flash video that makes up the first page of my web site. the
video plays showing the name of the site then fades to show the
text "enter" which i want to make the link to the next page.

> the video plays showing the name of the
> site then fades to show the text "enter"
in FLASH set a gotourl action on the last frame of the move.
If this is a "splash page" and has a dancing company logo and
a throbbing
drumbeat- reconsider. Just make the homepage of the website
the homepage.
Don't make people wait to see some content.

Problems inserting flash buttons in CS3

I used to be able to do this but it's not working like it had
been.
When I go to insert a flash button using the built-in styles,
it gives me a source that is "undefined" and does not create the
SWF file of the button. This happens on a site that is already
using these buttons and a new website I created to test it out.
I'm on a MacBook Pro with 10.5.6, Dreamweaver CS3.
Any insight would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Are you really set on using Flash buttons? You understand
that there are
many good reasons not to?

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!!

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

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.

Flash buttons in dreamweaver 8

Hi,
i am having a problem with inserting flash button in
dreamweaver 8, when i insert the buttons it appears on the page as
a grey box with "F"(flash) and not displaying the proper text. The
user is a standard windows users and has not administrator
privilidges. but if an administrator loggs into the pc and does the
exact same process then the flash button work.
has anyone come across this problem ? does anyone know how to
resolve
cheers
david

You'll need to go back into Flash and build the links into the buttons before you create the swf's. Look in the Flash help docs regarding the getURL function as far as the code you'll need for linking. If you have problems, post in the Flash AS1 and AS2 forum.
Beyond that, don't be surprised if some feedback arises here regarding using Flash buttons.

Flash buttons won't work in Dreamweaver

Hello,
I recently watched/read tutorials about how to add Flash buttons into Dreamweaver. I followed the instructions perfectly: insert>media>flash button, and played around with that options. After I clicked ok/apply, though, the only thing that popped uo was a little grey box with the "f" Flash logo inside. It could be resized, but thats it. When I tried previewing it in a browser, all I saw was a little box in the color i had set as the BG color. In the properties window, it says "undefined" next to file. I am using CS3on a macbook, and am a beginner with Dreamweaver. Anybody know why this is happening and how i can fix it?
-New user

That's correct. There's no difference. But Flash buttons should be avoided however you make them.
Use text-based CSS formatted buttons instead.
Easier to maintain and update and search engines love them.
Google CSS Buttons and you'll find plenty of tutorials.

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

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:
