Flash to DreamWeaver problem

Hey guys I'm new here..
I got a problem going from flash to dreamweaver. Here it is:
I have a site in progress: http://www.competitivevideogames.com/ns/ns.html
and I want to replace the top navigation bar with this:http://www.competitivevideogames.com/ns/nav_bar.swf(still a work in progress)
The problem is, the dimensions of this .swf are 1000x98 (the tightest it can be without cutting out the dropdown menu) and I want the bar to look like it does in the picture(1st link) which is nice and tight. Also, How can I get the drop down menu to overlap my html and flash below it? Because right now the only way i can see the drop down is if I give it enough black space in flash.
Any Help?
I can re-explain anything if it was a little confusing
Thanks

Also, How can I get the drop down menu to overlap my html and flash below it? Because right now the only way i can see the drop down is if I give it enough black space in flash.
That is correct. Flash content cannot draw outside its container/ canvas. The rest is merely in the way you stack content via DIVs with Z-indexes and the respective rules for transparent drawing of Flash content, which is done using the proper Flash param upon embedding.

  • Flash in Dreamweaver???

    I have uploaded and displayed flash in dreamweaver before but
    for some reason i cannot get it to work now. Does this have
    anything to do with CSS? The file is succesfully on the server as
    you can see at www.zcarpentry.com/dropmenZCI.swf but when going to
    www.zcarpentry.com the blank space on the left is where the menu
    should be. PLEASE HELP!!! I am self taught and think i may be
    overlooking something here is my source code:
    <object
    classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="

    Self taught developers usually don't get some of the finer
    usability points.
    If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
    1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
    2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
    not be spidered
    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?
    It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...
    In your case, the most profound problem is #2 - since you
    have an all-Flash
    page, you will not find much love from the search engines.
    And even though
    Google is saying it now scans Flash links, I am skeptical.

  • Dreamweaver problems! HELP!!

    So I'm new to Dreamweaver and web-design altogether. These
    are going to be stupid questions, but I've been tearing my hair out
    trying to find information through the Adobe Help system and online
    tutorials.
    I have a flash video. I want it to play when my web page
    opens, but then I want it to stop after the animation plays. After
    it stops, I want to be able to create an image map and make hot
    spots to link the rest of the web pages. So when the page opens,
    you see the flash video, and then the screen changes to the image
    map. How do I do this!?
    Yes, I know, stupid, basic information. But because it's
    stupid and basic, I can't find it anywhere! I think most of the
    help systems assume you already know this stuff.

    Other than the autostart aspect, it looks to me like most of
    this has to do
    with Flash, not Dreamweaver. You would be better served
    asking in the Flash
    forum.
    When you go there, I suggest you not entitle your post "flash
    problems!
    HELP!!" Your subject line should be a succinct usable summary
    of what you're
    looking for; it will be more likely to get you assistance.

  • CS5  trouble with updating main template & pages is a dreamweaver problem

    The web site is www.KosherWoman.com which I work on with DWCS5.
    Whenever I update anything - the nav,- add a side bar ad or promo or add a new page - I test it via F12.  It shows the changes on my pages, on the nav & on the side bars.  But when I upload it to my server,the changes aren't reflected on-line.  I use the 'put' method & when that doesn't work I expand to show the local & remote site & I drag & drop with Dependent files as a yes.  Again, the changes do not occur.
    After failing to have the changes show up when I copied the dreamweaver site to a flash drive & tried it on another computer in my office, I then gave it to a co-worker who went home & tried it putting the flash drive on his computer.  He has DW CS4  & tried to update pages from there.  He, too, tested with F12 & everything was correctly changed but they also failed to take after being 'put' & after trying both from dreamweaver & from remote - the old fashioned way of dragging & dropping. The site has been up since January & only developed this problem a couple of weeks ago.
    Is this a Dreamweaver problem or possibly a problem of my hosting company earthlink.net.?

    HOW DO YOU DO THIS?
    When you have got it, you need to configure it using your FTP details.  It acts as a FTP program and it is very nice indeed.  It is like using your host's computers/servers as your own.
    Hope this helps.
    OK I am not currently on Windows 7 machine so I will tell you what I do in Windows XP.  The method is still the same in Windows 7.
    1) Open/Click on Network from your start button (the one you said you have got it)
    2) now in windows XP, I see something like this:
    3) Now can you see the first item that says Add a Network Place?  Click on it
    4) For about one or two windows you just need to click next until you come to a screen that looks like this:
    In the above box you need to enter the FTP address like ftp://yourdomain.com (whatever your host has told you about this)
    You just continue doing this - follow the on screen instructions and you are done.
    If I get time I'll see if I can post exact instructions for Windows 7 or somebody else like John Waller can do this because he has a better machine than mine!  My machine is refurbished from old systems I found on some streets discarded by some business!

  • Inserting Flash into Dreamweaver

    I don't know if the solution is in Flash or Dreamweaver, so excuse me if this is the wrong location.  I created a Flash Photo Gallery (swf file) and want to add it on my site.  It's a fairly large file, so I also created a preloader to let viewers know that it's installing.  The problem is my Flash file won't start playing until the whole thing is loaded, therefore you won't see the preloader until the whole thing is ready to play and so you don't need a preloader by that point.  I can't get this Flash file any smaller and all I need to know is how you force Dreamweaver to start playing an SWF file before it's fully loaded.   What I'm doing now is Insert > Media > SWF and then I find my file.  From there, I can't find any option or code to tell it to start playing as it downloads. It's seems like it should be so simple, and I feel like the only person who can't figure this out!

    If there is a nextg time, simply post a link to the live page (http://www.myproblempage.com) and people can peek under the hood.
    Glad you got it solved.

  • Insert Flash with Dreamweaver CS3 Question

    So I have been building websites for awhile and have always relied on the built in insert flash object that came with dreamweaver as I have never had issues with it.
    However as I finished a site recently the client had a friend look at it and brought up the red flag that the site was not w3 compliant.  So I go and look at the little tool they have and the only error that comes up is related to the insertion of flash on the page.
    I googled it a bit and found a number of people saying that the insert flash through dreamweaver will no show up as compliant.  A couple solutions to fix the problem.
    But before I go down that road, I want to ask. ...Does it really matter here?  Seems like Dreamweaver insertion would be compliant? I mean come on the link that the w3 give to fix the problem is a link from a fix created in 2002.
    I have never heard of anyone saying no the flash does not show up so right off I am not terribly concerned but it would be nice to know..
    Also if it is important and suggestions as to a nice fix to the issue would be great.
    Thanks for your time,
    Chris

    Right you are!
    I tend to spot check pages and haven't done a W3C check on a flash embed in my websites (apparently). Just did one pursuant to your question. The page is 100% compliant without the Flash video. has 51 errors, 35 warnings with it. Lots of those errors are Adobe-generated Javascript that handles the flash video insert, skins it and so on.
    Here is where Adobe may not be compliant with the W3C.

  • Controlling Flash in Dreamweaver

    Hello all,
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this problem!
    I am building a page in Dreamweaver 4.0 and adding a large
    Flash movie (using Flash 5.0) which I want to start by clicking or
    mousing over a smaller image elsewhere on the page. However when
    viewing in Firefox, the movie starts off as soon as I load the
    page, rather than when I mouse over the image that is being used to
    start the big movie. It works in IE 7 but not in Firefox. Is there
    a piece of code I need for Firefox.
    I have followed the directions for Controlling Shockwave or
    Flash within (Dreamweaver as follows:
    1 Choose Insert > Media > Shockwave or Insert >
    Media > Flash to insert a Shockwave or Flash movie,
    respectively.
    2 Choose Window > Properties and enter a name for the
    movie in the upper leftmost field (next to the Shockwave or Flash
    icon). You must name the movie to control it with the Control
    Shockwave or Flash action.
    3 Select the item you want to use to control the Shockwave or
    Flash movie. For example, if you have an image of a "Play" button
    that will be used to make the movie play, select that image.
    4 Open the Behaviors panel (Window > Behaviors).
    5 Click the Plus (+) button and choose Control Shockwave or
    Flash from the Actions pop-up menu.
    A parameters dialog box appears.
    6 Choose a movie from the Movie pop-up menu.
    Dreamweaver automatically lists the names of all Shockwave
    and Flash movies in the current document. (Specifically,
    Dreamweaver lists movies with file names ending in .dcr, .dir,
    .swf, or .spl that are in object or embed tags.)
    7 Choose to play, stop, rewind, or go to a frame in the
    movie. The Play option plays the movie starting from the frame
    where the action occurs.
    8 Click OK.
    9 Check that the default event is the one you want.
    If it isn't, choose another event from the pop-up menu. If
    the events you want are not listed, change the target browser in
    the Show Events For submenu of the Events pop-up menu.
    I have followed all these directions, but the big movie
    starts playing as soon as I load the page, rather than waiting
    until I mouse over/click on the small jpg below. I have even added
    the <param name=play value=false> to the big movie code to no
    avail. I am viewing the site on Firefox.
    Here is my code for the large movie:
    <td width="380" height="280" valign="top"><object
    classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="

    and here is the code for the jpg I am wanting to mouse over
    or click on to make the movie play:

  • Integrating Flash into Dreamweaver

    Hello All,
    I am a newbie and just finished a Flash class. However we
    didn't hardly talk at all about integrating Flash with Dreamweaver.
    What I want to do is create an intro page that has Flash and
    then you have to click on a Button to go into the main site. I
    understand a little of Behaviors and Actionscripting so thought
    that I would do the GetURL Behavior (going off memory here) to get
    me from the Intro page to the main Dreamweaver site.
    Question is... do I export an SWF file, put that in a
    index.html page for the Intro page and then link to the main
    Dreamweaver site but have the main site not an "Index" file but
    another name...maybe main.html.
    Is this what people do? Or do they take the generated .html
    file from Flash (its published) and just use that as their intro.
    Naming it index.html. And then linking to another *.html created
    with Dreamweaver but that is not saved as index.html.
    Also, how often are people doing a PURE Flash website and not
    mixing the Flash and Dreamweaver together? Just curious.
    Thanks for clarifying.
    Computerkitten

    Hmm... looks ok to me. You should be able to place it in a
    folder without
    problem. I'd try using SWFObject to put the Flash on the page
    though - that
    _might_ fix your problem. Odd one.

  • Flash Player sound problems on a 5.1 system

    I don't know if i found the right topic for asking for this question, but here it goes.
    I noticed that flash player has this issue with my 5.1 system, when i play music (and i mean any music, like my online radio, played through flash, or music through the site VK.com), the sound is extremely awful. Words actually can't explain it, there is no bass, and the sound, overall, seems to be of very low quality. But it's not. When the same music is played via stereo system (any), it seems to be perfect - with bass and etc.
    Now i'm really confused. It's either a problem of flash, or a problem of somewhat in my system. My guess is that flash simply does not support audio output rather than 2.0. I will be really grateful if anyone will at least point me in the direction of the source of this problem; it makes my life miserable. Thank you.

    Is it possible to have e version of flash player like silverlight which give thepossibility to hear audio on whole 5.1 system?
    I have the following system computer:
    Case: Thermaltake Mozart; PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 750W; MainBoard: Asrock 4coredual-sata2; Heatsink: ZeroTherm Zen120; CPU: Core2 Extreme X6800 3,2Ghz; RAM: OCZ Platinum DDR400, 2x1 GB; GPU: Sapphire HD3850 AGP; PPU: BFG Ageia; HDD1: WD Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS; HDD2: WD WD2000BB; Monitor: Asus VB175T 17" 5:4; Audio System: danneggiato, in corso di sostituzione; OS: Xp Professional Sp3; Browser: Srware Iron.

  • Help: Flash 9 - Video problem - OS X

    OS X 10.4.8
    I installed Flash 9 today, since then no more Google video.
    Browser crashes each time. Also with other sites that use Google
    video. Tried uninstall, and install Flash 8: same problem. Cannot
    get back to previous situation where everything worked fine.
    Also problem with msnbc, no video, claims plugin missing.
    Youtube works fine.

    Hi,
    folder deleted, after reinstall only the two flash files in
    the folder. Same problem.
    Worse, now Google Finance also hangs up. Spinning wheel of
    death, requires force quit. BTW, this is the same for Firefox,
    Safari, and Camino.
    If there is no solution, how can I get back to my previous
    system. The problem started when the Charlie Rose website required
    me to update flash. Before the update everything worked like a
    charm. Now problems everywhere.

    Also, how often are people doing a PURE Flash website and not
    mixing the Flash and Dreamweaver together? Just curious.
    Thanks for clarifying.

    It's the new IE functionality (introduced in the April 2006
    patch update for
    IE6 and made compulsory by the June 2006 patch update) to
    comply with a
    ruling against Microsoft's patent infringement.
    It's triggered by the <object>, <embed> and
    <applet> tags on a page. Flash
    is normally imported into a page via the <embed> tag
    hence it's affected by
    the change. Content imported into a webpage by these methods
    is known as
    Active Content and now requires an extra click to activate it
    and interact
    with it.
    The workaround ultimately rests with website designers who
    are now advised
    by Microsoft and Adobe etc to implement the controls for
    Active Content in
    their sites indirectly via Javascript rather than direct HTML
    tags.
    If you have DW8, the 8.0.2 updater will insert Flash with
    Adobe's
    recommended Active Content fix already included in the code.
    With any other
    version of DW, you'll have to do it manually.

  • Flash or Dreamweaver? (Either?)

    Here is today's softball/dumb question.  In an effort to create my own website I have been spending a considerable amount of time learning the essentials of many Adobe programs through Lynda.com and with Adobe's CS5 Master Suite of software.  Most recently I have been going through Flash tutorials.  When it comes to creating a website through Adobe software I thought Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS, etc were the foundation, (i.e., framework), of ALL website creation and that all other programs, Ps, Ai, Fc, etc....AND Flash where used in SUPPORT of that goal.  That is they created the graphics and other animation files used within the Dreamweaver website foundational framework...but Dreamweaver was essential (using Adobe software).
    The more I learn about Flash and applications such as After Effects the more confused I am becoming because, though I am unsure, it seems that Flash can be used as a foundation for a website all by itself and Dreamweaver cut out of the process all together.  So my basic/fundamental/dumb question is is that correct?  Though an answer to that question requires only a simple yes or no answer, and a simple yes or no answer is welcome and appreciated, any elaboration on the basic structural use of these various Adobe programs in pursuit of the goal of creating a website would be appreciated as well.

    Sounds like you are well on your way this your project and I wish you the best!
    Just to clarify one point.. There is no such thing as a Flash Website .. only HTML, PHP, ASP etc. sites which may have some Flash content.
    So I don't think it's a question on using Flash or Dreamweaver to build your site... most likely you will need both, Flash for the content, DW (or some other editor) for the page structure as well as any PHP for server side scripting you may need.
    As for building your own shopping cart, I suggest you start at your bank and work back from there to your Web site, NOT the other way around. Banks are very strict about which "Gateways" they use and the Gateway company is very strict about which shopping cart they will allow to connect to there services.
    If you are expecting to collect payments via credit cards, you'll most like need a Merchant Account at your bank. Check and see what it takes to get yours set up. That's the account that your Gateway service will connect to... for background info..here are a couple used by local banks here:
    http://www.authorize.net/
    and
    http://www.firstdata.com/en_us/home
    But get with your banker before going too far. Make sure that you don't have to undo some of the efforts and development because they did not meet bank or gateway specs.
    Best wishes,

  • Inserting FLASH into Dreamweaver cs3

    I am trying to build a VERY basic website in Dreamweaver. Using their single fixed column, centered,template, i would like to ad 2 flash items, a menu and small movie, in to he top of the column. (Both flash items are larger than the column with, if that matters,i was going to resizxe them  nce  i  got  this part of the  cose  correct)
    For some reason the flash movie shows in my Dreamweaver preview, but not when i load it live online  @ www.srg-buffalo.com.
    The address i have used for the flash movie is: http://www.srg-buffalo.com/flash/header_v8.swf
    The website is hosted at www.swq-buffalo.com, if you want to check out the source code.
    I have no idea what I am doing wrong, i thought it was pretty simple, there is no flash block via my go daddy host.
    How i  inserted it  via dreamweaver  cs3:
    Insert> Media> Flash.
    URL= http://www.srg-buffalo.com/flash/header_v8.swf
    What am  i doing wrong?
    Thanks for any help.

    Thank you,
    That rung a  bell.
    I uploaded  both  saved .SWF documents to  the Scripts directory.
    There was also  a  Scripts dirrectory saved  with index.html,  in this directory was the  AC_RunActiveContent.js  file,any thoughts on that?
    i  uploaded it to  scripts,along witht he  others, and the space  dedicatd to the flash events is there, but they are not  showing.

    When you insert the SWF, you shouldn't have to actual type anything - it's a browse and select process and will automatically enter the correct path to the SWF. Then you have to upload the page and the SWF file. This next part I think has changed in later versions of DW, but in CS3 I'm pretty sure the process will also create a folder named Scripts. This folder along with it's contents also need to be uploaded.
