Flash files in iWeb site hosted by Godaddy?

Anybody know how to use .swf files in an iWeb site hosted on Godaddy?
I'm trying to see how to use a few .swf files (flash) in my site which I built and maintain with iWeb.
I had set them up back in the .mac days and they were able to work. When .mac ended, I switched the hosting to Dropbox which worked fine (though a little slow) but I guess I hadn't checked those .swf animations. When I was preparing to move the site to GoDaddy recently, the animations weren't working.
My site is now up and running on GoDaddy and I'd like to get those animations working. I've googled/searched for information, but all the info seems to be about using idisk or .mac. Since those no longer exist, I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it.
Anybody know how to use .swf files in an iWeb site hosted on Godaddy?
Thanks!

Upload the files in a folder to the root folder on the server using an FTP app. This page is about audio files but it's the same method for flash...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/AudioFiles/Upload.html
Then reference each file in an iframe code. See this page for more info...

  • Password protected iweb site hosted on godaddy

    Hi,
    I am using iweb 08, and i host with godaddy.
    Is there any way of making the password function from iweb work with godaddy?
    so far i can't get it to work.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Dave:
    That's one of the features of iWeb that are not supported by non Mac servers:
    Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Blog RSS Subscription
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ Enhanced slideshows
    There are methods using php I believe but, again, have no experience with them. One of these sites may be what you're looking for.

  • Iweb site hosted on godaddy and using webcrusher to make site runfaster?

    I have my website linked up with my Go Daddy account and I want to use a program like Webcrusher to reduce my file size to make my site run faster, but I don't know how to use Webcrusher when iWeb is linked with a Go Daddy Account.
    Need like a step by step how to do it.
    Also any ways to make my website run faster is helpful, I use a lot of pictures and mp3 files.
    Thank You

    Need like a step by step how to do it.
    Webcrusher probably has a Help/FAQ/Support site or Manual.
    http://www.ragesw.com/support/
    You most likely have to publish your Site to a folder on your desktop, then open Webcrusher, which will then upload you files to the server.
    mp3 files
    I doubt Webcrusher can do make MP3 files smaller. Use an app that can do that for you.
    I use a lot of pictures
    Prepare your pictures in advance in an application for that purpose.

  • Flash files in iWeb - Thanks

    While it's been possible to place flash files in iWeb with workarounds in the past it's now easy with the new version. The HTML snippet feature has saved the day, Thanks Apple! I can hardly imagine the net without Flash.
    To see an example go here:

    Like ive said in this topic, i need to know where Altartifact put his files in his iDisk, too.

  • Adding files to iWeb site using .mac

    Hi
    Apologies if this has been answered before but I would like to achieve the following:
    I have an iWeb site published to a .mac account. I would like to add links to other files such as m3u or qtl playlists and host the mp3/mov files somewhere else in my .mac account. I have read a little about using the idisk feature to achieve this. What's the best way of proceeding?

    which means you have to put any file or folder linked to in this way inside iDisk>Web>Sites??
    That's correct.
    Presumably that means when you publish any updates out of iWeb it leaves these files/folders alone and only updates what it needs to?
    You can create folders as you like.
    Just make sure you do not add a Site in iWeb with the same name as your folder. iWeb will overwrite that folder. Try it.
    And do not add an index.html file of your own in the root of the Server. I have a custom index.html file. So any time I publish a Site in iWeb (by mistake) I have to make sure I replace the index.html file by iWeb with the file of my own.
    But I do a lot of things I'm not supposed to do.

  • Iweb site hosting

    Hello I  have a web site that i host via mobileme with a domain from1and1 but I now want to host another site, do I need to get a family pack, in order to have more than one web site on mobile me? and also can I edit the two sites on one mac machine?
    Patrick63

    Here are some tips on how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
    A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
    1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must  the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
    Click to view full size
    2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Site_Name,  or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
    B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
    Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding.  This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site.  This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.  Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site.  This can be accomplished is three ways.
    1 - don't use the CNAME method.  Just use  URL forwarding .  This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
    2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?   
    In iWeb domainfile 1:
    Create a dummy site : _dummy
    with a blank page.
    Create your working site : Whatever
    Add pages
    Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
    Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
    Check.
    In iWeb domainfile 2:
    Create/Use your CurrentSite.
    Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
    iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
    Check.
    From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
    Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
    3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses  CNAME forwarding.  Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file. 
    The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.  
    Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
    NOTE:  the CNAME method provides a shorter URL:  http://www.Domain_Name.com/Site_Name/Page_Name.  CNAME does not have masking.
    The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:   http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Domain_Name/Page_Name.   With domain name masking that will be shortened to:   http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
    However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site.  If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page.  Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.

  • KMZ (Google Earth) files on iWeb site

    I use MotionX GPS to record tracks of our trips.
    I then email the track to myself. This results in an attached KMZ file.
    Launching the file launches Google Earth and the track is nicely displayed with the start and finish pins at the top and bottom of the window.
    I would like to add the tracks to my iWeb blog, so that a visitor could select a track and GE would launch (in another window, if need be) and display the track.
    Does anyone (Old Toad maybe?) know how to do this in iWeb?
    Thanks, HNick

    OK. I think I got it so far. I got the GE plug-in (really the API, right?). Got my magic ID number (long). I now have GE in iWeb.
    there are two parts, the ifr part is web gadget and an api for embed kml link to the gadget.
    What I don't understand is how to get the KMZ files (one for each trip - 6 of them so far) into iWeb, so that they can be opened in GE.
    first, upload your kmz files to your web host.
    It looks like Cyclosaurus' example uses the track as part of the GE api - in my case that would be a separate instance (?) of GE for each track?
    that's correct, go to my GE example here: http://goo.gl/w307f
    copy the url (it's a long url) and paste it in text editor.
    search for &upkmlurl= , you'll see it points to my kmz file on my site, replace my url with an absolute url points to one of your kml file.
    also search for &title= and replace what after that with a title for your track.
    end product is your GE URL to view in a browser. - long url -
    back to your iweb project, add an html snippet; copy + paste the following:
    <iframe src="put your GE URL here - the long url " frameborder="0" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>
    in iweb this will display as google map because iweb does not have support for GE plug-in, this also is true for browser that does not support GE plug-in such as ie. that's the fall back mode.
    repeat the process for the other KMZ.

  • I just found out that Apple has ceased supporting iWeb!  I have a large (50  pages) website developed with iWeb and hosted through GoDaddy.  Is there information out there about how I can move my website pages to a supported app?

    I just visited the Apple Store to investigate a new MacBook Air.  I found out that iWeb is no longer supported!!  I currently have a MacBook Pro that is less than 2 years old, running OS10.7.5.   I have a large website that I developed using iWeb (hosted by GoDaddy).  Does anyone know how I can migrate my 50+ pages to some new app?  Is there some new app?  Or will I have to start over from scratch? Ugh!!!  Thanx.

    You can still use iWeb 3 to maintain your webiste.  Just copy the Domain.sites2 file from the your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your MBP to the same folder on your MacBook Air.  Also copy the iWeb application from your MBP to the Applications folder on the MBA.
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    If you want to learn about potential preplacements (which have been discussed extensively at length in this forum) do a search for  "iweb replacement".

  • Flash Animation In IWeb Site Not Showing Up In Internet Explorer

    I have created a site for a company and used a flash file on one of the pages. The flash file does not open when looked at from a computer using Internet Explorer, which happens to be the client. Please advise on some possible solutions (besides using IE). Thanks!

    I don't know that much about PC's, but you need to open the browser and click on the preferences, I think in the same way as you would do with a Mac and click on select javascript.
    Rather than Firefox, get them to download a copy of Safari for PC from the Apple site.
    Other than this I am not really sure of a solution, other than telling them to buy a Mac instead!!

    Can I insert a pdf document to be downloaded from my iweb site?

    Thanks
    Yes you can, and I don't think you have to concern yourself with iDisk. Here's what iWeb's Help viewer says:
    To create a hyperlink:
    Select the text or object you want to turn into a hyperlink.
    If the Link Inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Link Inspector button.
    In the Link Inspector, select “Enable as a hyperlink,” and then choose "A File" option from the Link To pop-up menu:
    A File: Downloads a file to the visitor’s computer. (The file is part of your website; visitors won’t have access to your computer.)<<< </div>
    ...Choose your PDF file.
    Note: The downloadability won't be apparant in iWeb - only when you've published the site will you be able to click on the link in a browser and test that the PDF downloads correctly.

  • 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

    If you would like to know, in addition to the number of visitors, where they are from, what size monitor they used, what site they came from to get to your site, what browser they used,  what system they were using and more then try a 3rd party counter.

  • IWeb Widgets gone from Published Site Hosted by GoDaddy

    I have been using third-party widgets to create components for my iWeb (3.0.4 version) website. They are Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack items. (I copy to iWeb html snippet code windows the code from the Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack widget and hit "apply" and they work in TEST mode). I tested everything on my site to a local file prior to publishing the site to the internet. Upon publishing to the internet, none of these Pro-Pack widgets are visible on my site. They all functioned fine when they were in Local file "TEST" mode. They don't even appear as blank boxes or question marks (which has happened when I have incorrect paths). I wonder if it is the pathways to GoDaddy? I have spoken to GoDaddy techs about my dilemma and they only say the path to my webroot is:
    /public_html
    This I don’t understand. Don’t I need http://www. ….. and other file references to get to the specific file in my webroot at GoDaddy?
    Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack widgets I am using:
    Apple Style Video Gallery (Youtube or Vimeo)
    Simple Hover Effect
    Panoramic Slideshow (Smooth Div Scroll)
    Photo Slideshow
    When I created the Pro-Pack widgets for iWeb I used file links (through GoDaddy hosting) like http://www.wildmonkeysproductioons.com/images/WMP_VIDEO_PHOTOS/....specific photo.jpg
    or---inside the cover path [in Apple Style Video Gallery (Youtube or Vimeo)] or a Youtube link in the video path (example): http://www.youtube.com/embed/LWWLM8QhVaw?rel=0
    I also have non-Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack generated widgets like Youtube video widgets that are also missing from the website. I believe the problem is not with my Pro-Pack widgets but with my pathways to GoDaddy.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or helpful ideas?
    I do not understand website building very well and website code, for sure, I do not know.
    Dan

    I took your advice and changed some file and folder names. I then updated my widgets to create continuity of connection with their files and photos in GoDaddy's File Manager. Now the BeyondiWeb widgets [Panoramic Slideshow (Smooth Div Scroll)] no longer recognize the path to them. No matter what I use as a path the link is broken.
    GoDaddy says the following is the absolute path: /home/username/public_html/
    My user name: wildmonkeys
    Examples of paths are below:
    http://www.wildmonkeysproductions.com/public_html/WMP_Website_Banner_Photos/2013 _MCA_Symposium_GRAND_CANYON_Presentation-26_Dan_small.jpg
