Flash Elements Not Showing

I have used DW 8 for a while and after I downloaded the
newest update of dreamweaver my flash elements will not show up in
a web browser. I have a few buttons and a flash movie. They show up
like they should in design mode, but when I go to preview them in
by pushing F12 they will not show up. They also won't show up when
i upload them to my web host.

> It didn't do this on a previous website though
That's because Microsoft hadn't patched IE at that time. Go
back to that
site now in IE6 and you'll see that you have to click twice
on the Flash to
use it. DW8.0.2 fixes that....
> where to and how
Select it in the local site, and PUT it. DW will take care of
the rest.

Flash Elements not showing up

I apologize if this is a repeated question, but I am so
frustrated. I was working on an existing website, that was working
fine until I made a few updates. The updates were made after I
downloaded and installed the dreamweaver 8.2 update. That's the
only variation that I can think of. I was simply adding 2 new flash
elements to the page. One is a slideshow. On one of the pages, the
buttons were not even showing (which I also embedded with
dreamweaver, I created them in flash). This site has been up for 6
months and I have never had a problem making changes for the
client. I can see the changes when I preview them locally, but when
the pages are uploaded, the swf's are not showing on the page. If
anyone can help, I would be forever greatful.

When you insert Flash into a page using DW 8.2 it now creates
a
'scripts' file in your local site folder. You have to upload
that
'scripts' folder to your server, otherwise the Flash will not
work.

Adobe Flash up to date; firefox 9.0.1 installed. Flash does not show as plug in & Firefox states Flash not up to date. What to do

Under plugins, I get the following message:
For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.
However, I updated to the version Firefox suggested. Flash does not show as a plugin. Plus, after updating, I continue to receive the message:
Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.
Running Windows 7
Firefox v 9.0.1
What is wrong?

The plugin check page only recognizes some common plugins that play media on web pages and not plugins added by security software like McAfee. So no need to worry about that. Just make sure that you keep all your software up to date, especially software that deals with internet access and security software (anti-virus software, firewall).

Flash Controls Not Showing On Web Page

Hi-
Been beating my head lately using Flash Pro 8 and DW 8.02.
Here is the latest difficulty:
Created a Flash video file in Premiere Elements 4
Imported the .flv Flash video file into Flash 8 using import
video
Added an external skin to the video
Saved Flash .fla file
Exported movie in .swf format
I can open the .swf file in Flash Player 8 and it works fine.
I can also use the Publish setting in Flash to export the necessary
files as well as the HTML file. When viewed in either Firefox or IE
it plays correctly and the player controls are present. However, if
I create a new page in DW8 and then Insert > Media > Flash,
point it to the .swf file and then view it in Firefox or IE I can
only see the .flv Flash video file and none of the controls/skin
that should be there. I know the controls/skin are actually present
because I can browse directly to the .swf file and it displays
works properly. I can also use the publish settings from Flash to
create the HTML page and it works correctly as well. It is only
when the page is generated by DW8 that I get this problem. I have
looked at the code created by DW8 and cannot find any reference to
the .swf file for the movie controls/skin. Any idea why DW8 would
only be placing the Flash video .flv file on the page and not
writing the code to place the entire Flash movie .swf on the page?
I have tried restarting/rebooting, created a new "clean" test page
with only the Flash movie on it and it is always the same. The
other thing that is weird is I did not select Autoplay or Loop in
the DW8 settings nor in Flash 8, yet when I preview the page
created by DW8 in a browser, piece of the Flash movie I can see
(the Flash video part) autoplays and loops!
Again, any help is appreciated.
-=SB

Update- This is what I have discovered while playing around
with the page and Flash file:
If I create the .swf files for the movie and skin and then
save them to the same directory as the .Flash video file and then
view the .swf file everything works fine.
If I then create a web page using DW8 and insert the Flash
into the page and save the web page to the exact same directory as
all the other files and then view the web page in a browser, it
works fine. However, if I create a new web page in DW8, save it to
any other directory other than the one where the .swf and .flv
files are located and then view the page in a browser only the .flv
Flash video portion of the movie will display in the browser--the
controls are missing. However, if I browse directly to the .swf
file and avoid going through the DW8 generated web page the Flash
movie displays properly with the controls in the correct location.
My question then is why will DW8 not show the Flash movie with
controls if the page is located in higher level directory than the
.swf and .flv files and yet browsing directly to the .swf file with
my browser works just fine? I have checked the path to the .swf
file in the DW8 source code and it is pointing to the correct
directory location. This is so strange--why will it display one way
and not the other? Any ideas?

"FFB" Problem -Elements Not Showing

I'm creating a site using the "Full Browser Method."
I've gone through the forum & google before posting. I've
also done Lee's tutorial at GoToLearn. It's great for tiling
backgrounds.
1.) What's the standard size for "FFB" I'm currently using
1280x800. I'm using a image for my background what size should that
be?
2.) I've gotten my background to fill the browser but a lot
of my elements are getting clipped. For example I drew a bar a the
bottom of my stage and typed some text. When I go to publish the
.html it doesn't show it gets clipped.
3. My main objective is to load my "bg.swf" at level 0 using
the "FFB" method, then my "content.swf" at level 1 and my
"navigation.swf" at level 2. Do I need to have all my other "swf's
be published with the "FFB" method or justt my main flash movie
which is my "navigation.swf" How can I accomplish this. What will I
need to do and where shall I place my actions scripts?
I'm on a MAC intel using Flash 8 Pro. I have a basic
understanding of AS2
3.)

When you insert Flash into a page using DW 8.2 it now creates
a
'scripts' file in your local site folder. You have to upload
that
'scripts' folder to your server, otherwise the Flash will not
work.

Fullscreen Flash movie not showing up on Mac

My flash movie is set to 100% width and height and it is
working fine on my PC on IE 6,7, FF 2, Safari 3, and Opera, but on
my Mac, the movie will not show up unless I change the 100% values
to actual height and width values. Does anyone have any thoughts
here?

try adding this in your <head> tags.. change the width

Flash CS6 not showing in FCP 7.03

I recently upgraded (well, for me it was an upgrade) to an older Mac Pro
Processor 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
I have installed FCP 7.03 (and in a seperate folder the hated FCP X)
I also have Adobe Creative Suite CS6 installed.
On my previous MacBook Pro I could export from a video sequence as a Flash Movie (.FLV). I could do this using one of the options in "Export Using QuickTime Conversion" On that machine I was running Flash CS4.
For some reason the Flash export option is not showing now. Flash is properly installed and opens just fine.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
A.S.

"Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?"
Probably nothing. FCP 7 was last updated in 2010; Flash CS6 was released in 2012. Incompatibility is to be expected.
There may be a conversion program, but it's most likely you'll find it on Adobe's Flash forum.
Good luck

Flash menu not showing up in IE, but other flash is

I downloaded a menu from f-source.com (
http://f-source.com/buy/adobeMenu/
to be specific) and finished my site up. it works fine in mozilla
platforms but does not show up at all in IE - i have a feeling it
is the dreamweaver 8/IE bug but don't know how to fix it other than
deactivate the active X thing under coding prefs, which i already
did.
please view for yourself.
coh.flowerdust.net
the menu is flash-based but uses html for customization thru
dreamweaver.
thanks!!!!

figured it out..well, not really..but recoded it and
it works now. :)

Yea, delete that extra semicolon on line...wait a
minute...that can't
be your site! Rats! I just got my crystal ball back from the
shop and
it's about 180 degrees out of phase!
Guess we'll have to do it the old way. Please provide a link

Flash player not showing up in start menue?

installed version 11 7 700 202 on new computer running windows 7 and internet explorer. Installations said complete, but the program does not show up in the start menue and does not activate when trying to view videos, sometimes getting the message that I do not have flashplayer plugin downloaded? On the adobe help site the find version help tool displays that "flash player is running on your system" by showing the movie of that text and a red ball. So what the heck is going on. I have restarted the computer a couple time too?

Flash Player is only a browser add-on, not an executable program, so it won't appear in the Start menu.
Regarding Internet Explorer, a couple of possibilities

Adobe Flash Plugin not showing up in Finder

Very frustrated here. I have installed and uninstalled the latest version of adobe flash trying to get it to work on OSX 10.7 and it's just not showing up in my plugins in Finder. What is going on? I can't watch video content or other flash on this Mac at all.

1. Enable Plug-ins

    Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
2. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.

    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes next to all items.

Flash content not showing up

Hi all,
I've created a Flash page in FL CS3 with ActionScript 3 that loads external content based on button clicks. All the external referenced files are present and the movie plays perfectly when tested in Flash player. However, when I insert this Flash element into Dreamweaver 8 and test it in a browser, the external content doesn't load (no error messages; it's simply showing blank).
All other aspects of the Flash element works (animations etc.); the missing external content appears to be the only issue. Why is this happening? Is there some kind of incompatibility issue between DW8 and FL CS3/ActionScript 3 that is preventing part of the ActionScript from working?
Apologies if this has been asked before. New to both DW and the forum, and I appreciate any light you can shed on this problem.
S.

Problem resolved, although I still don't understand what went wrong in the first place. When I moved the .swf along with all the external referenced files from a sub-folder to the website's main folder, all the external content started loading correctly.
Thanks John for the reply!

Master Page elements not showing up on top...

I'm newer to ID and the industry in general...with no prior experience. Running CS6 on Windows 8.1. I have existing documents that were shared with me where the master page elements always appear on top, meaning on top of pages or items placed in a document. Those items are surrounded by a red dotted line, and I cannot edit those in any way, shape or form. I am working in a new document and all my master page elements have a blue dotted line and do not show up on top of anything no matter what I do and the option to Arrange isn't there. I know I must be missing a really simple step, but in all of the videos and tutorials I've read and watched, this has never been addressed. What am I missing? See images below (added the green box to show an item on the page showing up on top of the master page stuff.) Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

The color is derived from the color code for the layer. You’ll need to go to the master page to edit the items.
If you that new to ID none of this is intuitive. First, I recommend that you buy Sandee Cohen’s Visual Quick Start Guide. It’s the be beginner book on the market: http://amzn.to/14JHq54
