Please see my answer to this thread - http://forums.adobe.com/message/2359583#2359583.
If that is not the problem, check the naming of your image links.

Flash SWF link opening Dreamweaver

I have created a simple Flash movie that loops three logos. I
want visitors to be able to access each respective website as the
logos cycle through, so I have linked each logo to each company's
website. However, when I play the SWF movie and click any of the
links, Dreamweaver opens and nothing else happens. Is this a Flash
settings problem? A Dreamweaver settings problem?
I did get a message that said that Adobe Flash Player had
stopped a potentially unsafe operation, but when I clicked the
"Settings" button to change the settings, it opened Dreamweaver
again!
Anybody know how I can fix this?
Thanks for your help.
Doug

Hi Doug
Not sure why Dreamweaver keeps opening, but have you tested
the links after first copying the output files to a web server?
I ask because the behavior from a server is often different
from that of running locally.
Cheers... Rick

Flash not working in Dreamweaver

Hello.. hope someone can help.
I'm trying to get a photo gallery to work in Dreamweaver.
Everything is working fine when testing in Flash but when add to my
Dreamweaver file and test in browser, it doesn't work.
any help is really appreciated

Any way you can post a link to the page you have uploaded?
Also, you may want to read this after you update to DW 8.0.2,
reagrding the
"click to activate" thing in IE -
It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
several
years ago to their browser, regarding how Active Content
(Flash, Quicktime
etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2/CS3, the fix is already
built into DW's
interface.

Photogallery in Flash not working in dreamweaver??

Hi everyone!
I hope someone will be able to help me: Ok here is the
situation:
I created a photogallery in flash by creating a blank movie
clip and naming the instance "holder" then I created buttons below
this with thumbnail photos. The action script in the thumbnails is
on(release) {
this.holder.loadMoive("image1.jpg",0);
It works perfectly in flash! Then when I import the swf file
into the dreamweaver site that I am building, my thumbnails show
up, but they no longer bring up the image inside the movie clip.
AHHHHH!!!! So basically I click on the button and no image appears.
What am I doing wrong? Please help.
Thank you so much!

You have mismatch action here. You load it in holder but than
you define level
so you mixing two separate actions.
Either you stick to Holder loadMovie("file.swf", "holder");
or level
loadMovieNum("file.swf", 1);
By the way, if you load in level, do not load in 0, zero is
main level by default
and by loading into it you will replace you entire movie.

Please help.
Another problem that could be is that you link to SWF file in
some sub folder.
When you have html on the root of server and flash in folder
(example only) "images",
than link that html to images/name.swf , flash no longer will
remember it was in that
"images" directory, it assumes it is in place where the HTML
file is and seek its files
from that perspective so paths will automatically change. So,
if you had image to load
along with flash file in directory "images" and call it
directly using loadMovie("file.swf",
"holder"); you will now need to change that action to
loadMovie("images/file.swf", "holder");
Make sense ?
By the way, get rid of "this" from your action, it make no
sense in your case.

Image Links Not Linking in Dreamweaver

I am evaluating Dreamweaver 8 but may not have it setup
correctly. When I click on Image using Local View, Remote view or
Testing Server I always get sent to the Image directory instead of
linking to the page specified in the link.
code
<td><a
href="visitor_registration_menu.cfm:><img
src="images/homepageregistration.gif" width="300" height="100"
border="0"></a>
I am upgrading from ColdFusion 5 to ColdFusion MX7 and Studio
4 to Dreamweaver 8. I don't know if my local, remote and testing
environments are not setup correctly or if it is the act of moving
old code to Dreamweaver. ColdFusion MX7 code works in Internet
explorer, so it is not the code per se.
Also, I am using IIS as my web server.
I am pointing local view, remote view and testing sever to
one place:
c:/inetpub/wwwroot/GrandLakeFunSeekers
Is this correct?
Thanks
Ron Powers

You get that when you double click on the image. Try control
clicking on it
instead.

Upload the file and test online, it will be fine. It's
because html files are probably set by default to open in
Dreamweaver.

Flash not showing up on page but works through direct link

So I just inserted a flash object into my dreamweaver page.
The flash works fine the direct link here works: http://www.abbottsports.com/tennis/flash/tennismenu.swf
But when you visit the page: http://abbottsports.com/tennis/adulttennis.php
it's just blank space.
Here is my flash code:
<object id="FlashID2" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="597" height="115">
        <param name="movie" value="flash/tennismenu.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
        <param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
        
        <param name="expressinstall" value="/htdocs/Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
        
        
        <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flash/tennismenu.swf" width="597" height="115">
          
          <param name="quality" value="high" />
          <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
          <param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
          <param name="expressinstall" value="/htdocs/Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
          
          <div>
            <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
            <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
          </div>
          
        </object>
        
      </object>

Lots of conflicting info here.
The page you linked to is using a different .swf:
<param name="movie" value="flash/topslideshowtennis.swf" />
which calls for swfversion (actually this means which Flash version to use)
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
which is a really, really old version.. not sure if that even works.... change to version 10.
Since you have the .swf in a different folder than the HTML Web page, there could very well be pathing problems if the Flash uses any external files ... like images or .xml files. Are there any other Flash related files besides the .swf? What else is in the "flash" folder?
Your code posted above probably won't work either
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
There is no Flash player version 15 (yet)... change that to version 10 also.
Then there is the matter of coding errors on the page... of which there are many!
Validate your code here:

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.

Images not linking from .swf within Dreamweaver

I am hoping someone can help...it's probably an easy fix.
I had this simialar probelm of my .swf being too large (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3705787#3705787) So I went and linked all of the images.
I am placing the flash catalyst .swf into dreamweaver, adding a simple footer (for ios users that flash doesn't work for) and the uploading to the site.
This is how my folders look:
I have place the full 'deploy to web' folder within the _assets folder and placed the main.swf from this location, however when I go to the site none of the linked images are there - www.coocoocreative.com
Does anyone know where I am going wrong? (I have checked my hosting server and all the folders are there).
Thanks!

Ok...it was really simple and I figured that problem out. I wasn't linking the .swf relative to the site root' (ok ok, I'm still learning, please be patient )
Thanks!

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.

Tips for Changing Flash Website to HTML / Dreamweaver

I am going to be taking over the management of a website that was designed entirely in Flash. There really is no need for the entire website to be entirely in Flash - it is confusing to navigate and most of the content would be so much easier to update and maintain if it were saved in html. I want to keep two flash effects - one is the splash page and the other is gallery where a grid of photos flips up like cards and you can click the individual photos for a link to a specifications page.
So, my question. Is there an easy way to transition the site from flash only into html / dreamweaver? I think I already know the answer to this - "NO" - I'm going to have to redesign the site in dreamweaver and just insert the two flash elements I want to keep, but if anybody has any tips or tricks that would be FANTASTIC! Thanks.

The problem with FLASH sites is that they speak a different language - Action Script instead of HTML. While some Flashy effects can be emulated with DHTML (JavaScript, JQuery etc...) it's not always possible to achieve the exact same feel without FLASH. Everything depends on how Flash-centric the original site is and how much your client/boss is willing to toss out in favor of a more web accessible, search engine / user friendly / standards compliant website.
Incidentally, SPLASH pages are a complete waste of prime URL real estate. You don't want a Flash or image only SPLASH intro page on your ALL IMPORTANT domain name default page. If anything, you need to rebuild home page in HTML with plenty of keyword rich content for search engines and people to grab onto.
For more meaningful suggestions, please post a URL to the live site? It will be interesting to see how it ranks on Google and other SEs.

Progressive Flash Not playing properly from remote server

I have Flash CS3.
PROBLEM: I've encoded a video using Flash's CS3 "Progressive
Download" option and then uploaded the resulting video (along with
it's associated files created by Flash ie: .fla, .swf, script
folder with action script, etc.) to my server (webpage and video
was created through Dreamweaver CS3).
RESULT: A flash video that plays on the web, but has pink
colored digital boxes that breakup the picture... poor quality.
Please follow this link for an example:
http://rivhawk.tripod.com/index.html
I've watched multiple step-by-step tutorials by Adobe for
creating and uploading Flash video, both with Flash CS3 and even
Dreamweaver CS3. I've tested by creating the flash content in Flash
CS3 and directly through Dreamweaver. The same digital noise, pink
blocks occured.
NOTE: Before uploading the flash content and associated
files, I tested the flash video in my browser through Dreamweaver
(from my local directory, not remote server)...and it
plays/operates perfectly. It's only once it's uploaded that the
problem occurs.
I've encoded the video with Flash 8 and Flash 9 at low,
medium and high qualities...same results (even by different
computers accessing the content on the internet). It happens in
Firefox and Internet Explorer.
After 3 days of tests and research (and viewing samples of
other beautiful progressive download videos on the internet) I'm
wondering if I am missing something very simple, if there is a bug,
is this a known issue etc.
Please help, and please understand that I've been through all
the tutorials on creating/using Flash Video...and specifically
using the Progressive Download option for use on remote servers
that don't have the Flash Media Server.
Please assist.

You can play video from any server by using a full URL ie
http://www.anotherdomain.com/flashvideo.flv
<param name="movie" value="videos/rep.swf" />
Looks like you're building an FLV player in Flash to play
your video rather
than embedding it using DW. If so you need to open the source
FLA you used
to generate 'rep.swf' and insert a full URL to your flv file,
then publish
the swf and upload again.
> I've tried changing the value and embed source tags to

> referencing the actual video location, but I still get
an error saying the

requesting?
As above, or you can just embed the video on a web page in
DW, using a full
URL to your flv. If your flvs are on a server and you are
connected to the
internet, you should be able to play the flv using preview in
browser before
uploading the page.

Problem Using Flash FLV Video Via Dreamweaver CS3

I have been unable to get my FLV video to play on my website.
I seem to have two problems:
1) I want the FLV file to be hosted in a different domain to
the website itself (for bandwidth reasons) and it doesn't want to
do that!
2) I would prefer to use Flash skins rather than Dreamweaver
skins as I want to offer a full-screen option but I cannot get them
to work!
If I host the FLV file on the website domain, the video plays
ok. If I change the file location in the Properties of the movie to
become the FLV located on the other domain (using full path
http://<etc>flv) then nothing
displays on that part of the page. Firebug tells me it has loaded
the AC_RunActiveContent.js and FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf but it
makes no mention of the skin file or the flv file itself ... it is
as if it just simply has not bothered with it! I suspect I am
missing something obvious but cannot find it. All help would be
appreciated. By the way, I have loaded up a crossdomain.xml file to
the root of the domain that hosts the flv file but that didn't seem
to make any difference!
The second challenge is that ideally I would like to use a
Flash skin so that I can have a full-screen option and so that I
can have the menu bar under the video itself. However, I can't even
get that option to work when I host the whole lot on the normal
webserver! I am suspecting that it might be something that might
suddenly start working when I fix problem 1. However, if anybody
has any links to a page that provides simple instructions about how
to do this task I would greatly appreciate it!
Many thanks for your help!

1) Why not post your video to YouTube or Google Video and
then embed the
code they provide into your website. This way their servers
carry the
bandwidth for you and the scripted embed code will work on
your site.
2) If Video sharing isn't an option, and you need more
bandwidth, you can
get domain hosting for as little as $4.95 - 6.95/month at
Bluehost,
Lunarpages or Web Hosting Pad.

Swf files and email links in dreamweaver

Good evening everyone,
Need some help please
I have a button (swf) made in Flash and brought into Dreamweaver to act as an email link when clicked.
When testing, an extra browser window named "untitled" comes up behind the main email window which
pops up fine. I can't figure out where the extra blank "untitled" window is coming from.
swf was made in cs4 with as3 and imported into Dreamweaver cs4.
The following is the code used for the swf file.
var emailLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]");
email_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(emailLink);
Thanks in advance,
[email protected]

The extra browser window will not appear when you run the file live on a server. It is just one of the quirks with local Flash testing.

Flash not working in Safari 5

Flash has been buggy for me in Safari 5, ever since I updated the Flash player last week to "10.1 r53". Either Flash files don't play at all, or just the audio plays without video.
Per the instructions on these boards, I have:
1. reset Safari
2. uninstalled flash player
3. installed the flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
The issue is still there. Firefox plays Flash files, YouTube, etc. just fine. Safari does not.
I'm running SL 10.6.4, latest Software Updates.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I created a new account. Flash works in the new account. That's cool, but I really don't want to re-locate all my prefs, etc., just for a buggy plugin.
So, I next...
1. grabbed the Safari plist from the new account
2. logged out of the new account
3. logged into the old account (where Flash does not work)
4. moved the old account's com.apple.safari plist file out of the Preferences folder
5. moved the clean Safari plist file (from the new account) into the Preferences folder
6. reset and restarted Safari
7. Flash worked...for about two minutes. I tested on YouTube, Vimeo and Google Analytics. Back to Flash not working in Safari.
I then tried repeating the earlier steps.
1. reset Safari
2. uninstall flash player
3. install flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
Still doesn't work.
Just one other thing to note: whenever I pull up a web page with Flash, I get a "file not found" error in Safari's activity monitor (link is below)...could this be an error with Adobe's website rather than a Safari-permission thing?
