Flash file entered in dreamweaver

I have created a site with a dark background in Dreamweaver
and have added a flash (SWF) file into the page. However when the
page is accessed through a browser, a white square flashes up
before it starts loading the flash file. I have tried adding a dark
blue square image as background for the table and have also made
the table background dark blue, but this has not made any
difference.
Does anyone know a way of fixing this so that the white
square does not flash up? To see what it does you can look at a
sample of part of the site here: www.billmather.co.uk/portraits.htm
Thank you for any help!

Need help: enter flash file in Dreamweaver site with dark background

Hi,
I've entered a SWF in a dreamweaver site with a dark blue
background. When you view the site in a browser there is a white
square (the size of the flash file) that flashes up for a second
before the file starts loading. This is rather ugly and I was
wondering if anyone knew how to avoid this white square from
flashing up.
I already tried making the table background dark blue and
adding a dark blue square as a background image, but that has not
made any difference.
If you'd like to see what it does, this is a link to one of
the pages: www.billmather.co.uk/portraits.htm
Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can give me!

Hi Horus,
Thank you for getting back to me. I found it, and tried it.
But still does not seem to make a difference. This is what the code
in dreamweaver now looks like:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','wid th','850','height','660','src','flashFilesBill/landscapes','quality','high','pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','flashFilesBill/landscapes'
); //end AC code

</object>
Did I enter it correctly? (I also tried it as <param
name="bgcolor" value="#000033"> but that did not work either) Or
do we still need to find another solution?
Thanks ever so much for all your suggestions and ideas. I
truly appreciate it.

Flash Files Will Not Display in Dreamweaver

Flash files will not display in Dreamweaver or in any
browser. If I insert a Flash button, text or other file, when I hit
the "play" button the flash place holder disapears, and the Flash
file never displays. In the Property Inspector, the file is always
"undefined" even when I save the file to my root folder with a
name. When I hit the "Edit" button, I get the message that the file
could not be found on my local disk. It's like Dreamweaver fails to
create or place a Flash file. Help please!

fro:

You will have to rename the hard drive for dreamweaver to
work properly.
The ' is causing dw to not find the path.
other symptoms would be dw nagging that the "homepage" is not
within the
local site folder so it can't build a sitemap.

How to "crop" flash file in Dreamweaver

Is it possible to "crop" flash file in Dreamweaver, for
example I want to eliminate the white margin on the left side of
the swf file.
Do I have to change the original file (in Flash). Please help
me to solve the problem, Thanks!!!

In the embed tag, add wmode="transparent"...this will make
the white match your background color. It will not resize the
stage.

I can't enter any values in JTextField after loading the flash files.

Hi to all,
In my application I have two panels. One panel has JTextField and another panel i loaded flash files.
The flash files are build by CS4. I'm using JDIC to load the flash files. While open the application i loaded flash file and I try to enter any input in the textfiled, but I can't. After minimize and maximize the application I can enter the values. This problem happens only after I change the jre version from 1.6 to 1.7.
While loading flash files I'm getting the below exception.

pls give me a solution.
Thanks in advance...:)

Flash files with right click imported in dreamweaver files

Flash files created with Captivate which contain rightclick
functionality are imported to html files created in Dreamweaver. In
other words, I don't use the html created by Captivate but another
html file to build up a whole course. But now a couple of those
flash files contain a right click and obviously I have to adjust
the dreamweaver file with some of the script that William Heinz has
created. I am not an HTML expert and I am not 100% confident that I
can do with just endless try&error. Could anyone give me some
hints?
I suppose I need to use the second bit of William's article
"the more complex requirement".
When I insert the flash file this is what I get: (This is
where I am suppose to make the changes????)
<script type="text/javascript">

</object></noscript>
I am not sure what to do with the "<Body
onload='javascript:init()..... "etc as suggested by William.
Thanks for any advice on this!!!

I hope there is one person out there who can help me with
this issue.
I have started from scratch and created a blank html with
dreamweaver and inserted the flash file (with right click
animation) created with Captivate.
Then I made the adjustments as per Heinz and also included a
ID=Captivate1 as the RightClick.js refers to that.
The main difference between this html file and the html file
created with Captivate, is that the Captivate one also has
writedocument bit.
Anyway, is there anybody in the world who can give me
atip/hint/suggestion?????

Missing flash files with Dreamweaver CS3

my uploaded site (which works fine when I preview before
uploading) 'ignores' all flash animations once uploaded... the
flash files are on the servers... is there a script I am missing? I
usually use a separate FTP program for synching... the root and
server folders are identical (so it seems)... help! Otherwise, the
site is the way it should be.

I'm having the exact same problem here:
http://www.stjohnsgeorgetown.org/
There's supposed to be a flash file at the top of the page, which
isn't showing up. I tried changing the URL to an absolute path and
it doesn't work. HELP!

Viewing Flash files in Browsers

I published my flash site (leafpure.com), and if you view it
in IE, there appears a protective frame around it and a command to
double click it or use Space or Enter bars to activate the flash
file.
Is this called a buffer?
How do I get rid of it? It is annoying when every user has to
double click each time the page refreshes.
It does not seem to appear in Mozilla. I am not sure about
other browsers.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes I did it in Dreamweaver.
Will this updater create an alternative html content?
Is the look the same, I mean does it show that it is a flash
player or just html?
Does it use the SWFObject? Or is this a separate thing?
Sorry, I am new to all this.
All I want is to be able to index flash files for search
engines and not have the click to activate thing.
Thanks a lot Nickels! :)

How do I use text to open two different flash files?

Basically I want to use a flash file, which requires you to enter text and a button to click. If I typed in 'Movie 1' and clicked enter, it should take me to 'Animation 1.swf', if I typed in 'Animation 2' it should take me to 'Animation 2.swf'.
I don't have the time to relearn flash completely even though I want to, I haven't used flash in about 3 years and really struggling to remember anything, hate being a novice
Thank you so much

Hi ,
As Ned suggested you could use something like this -
function startLoadingSwf()
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(<name of the swf which you are picking up from the text field - text_field.txt>);
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
mLoader.load(mRequest);
function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event)
addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
function onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent)
var percent:Number = mProgress.bytesLoaded/mProgress.bytesTotal;
trace(percent);
startLoadingSwf();
Hope that helps!
Thanks and Regards,

Have you tried testing on a server?
When you test in Flash, see if you get traces when you click these buttons.

Embedding Flash in HTML using Dreamweaver - stopped working

Hi all, not really sure what's going on, but I've done this many times before and it's worked fine.
I've previously embedding Flash videos I've created in Premiere and/or converted using other software. I simply drag and drop the Flash file where I want it and then adjust layout using code/design etc and that's it, job done. It's always played back fine.
Now for some reason I've tried doing it again this morning and can't figure it out. When I preview the file it doesn't even show the video, but instead displays all the icons for the controls at once in a grid where the video is meant to be. I've tried in IE, Firefox and Chrome, updated drivers, windows, Adobe, Flash etc all to no avail.
I've even tried doing it in a blank HTML page in case some of the template I might have been using was interfering for some strange reason; still no luck. What's even stranger is that a site I created last year is also now not displaying Flash (FLV) content locally, but is working fine on the server.
Does anyone have any ideas?
(CS5 Dw:V11 build 4993, Win7 64bit SP1)
I've pasted the code from the blank HTML page. It's probably something really simple that I've not noticed:

Im' having a VERY similar problem with a few estra 'happy' moments. I have a blog (WP). On this simple and VERY basic blog (with almost NO plug ins) I have attempted to embed FLV videos with CS$ Dreamweaver code.
(This code is different in CS$ than it was in earlier versions as it now calls to the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf as the player and uses Flashvars to pass the value of the FLV. PReviously, it was four simple lines of code that pointed directly to the SWF)
Here was my process - I encoded the files with AE and Media Encoder to end up with Transparent FLV's. These, I then setup in Dreamweaver so I could copy the embed code. On my first attempt, it worked PERFECTLY. I was testing one particular flv, got the code and inserted it into the blog page with some special CSS to position it.
The movie played perfectly.
Then things got weird.
I was excited I had a solution, so I went to put another video on another page. No luck. The second page was playing the video from the first page. As if I had copied the same code, but I hadn't. I copied code that was 'pointing' to the new file, but for whatever reason, the new file would not play.
I did EVERYTHING. I deleted all the pages and strted fresh. I deleted the FLV's and reuploaded them. I created different folders and put each flv in it and created index.html files for each (assuming possibly there was a hardcoded element in the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf). I copied and pasted back and forth for nearly 6 hours.
Nothing. Each time I would copy and paste code into a blog page, it would simply pull the original video.
THEN....things got worse.
I pulled one video off of the server, and now NONE work. I can't get ANY videos to play. Worse, I still have the 'express install' link showing.
Ok, so here is what I am trying to figure out;
Does the NEW DW CS4 code somehow have control over the file that is called? Further, HOW can I get more than one FLV to play across a whole blog site.
Here is a link to one of the pages that HAS code but is calling NOTHING. And please know that I have left copies of the necessary files ALL over the server. So they are in the root, in the 'files' folder, in the talent folder and everywhere.
Is there a conflict flash hits when there are multiple FLV's being called? Is there a way to do this? Please help....
Thank you
