Flash transparency in dreamweaver

After creating a flash navigation banner side bar, i have
inserted it into my page in dreamweaver. The problem was within the
background being over the text over the side of the page therefore
blocking the text. So after using the parameter wmode transparent,
i managed to hide the background, however the problem now is when
the sub menu's come across after a hover of the parent button they
are behind the text on the page which i dont want to happen, i want
it to be on top of the text. Can anyone suggest a way of doing
this?

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.

Flash buttons in dreamweaver 8

Hi,
i am having a problem with inserting flash button in
dreamweaver 8, when i insert the buttons it appears on the page as
a grey box with "F"(flash) and not displaying the proper text. The
user is a standard windows users and has not administrator
privilidges. but if an administrator loggs into the pc and does the
exact same process then the flash button work.
has anyone come across this problem ? does anyone know how to
resolve
cheers
david

You'll need to go back into Flash and build the links into the buttons before you create the swf's. Look in the Flash help docs regarding the getURL function as far as the code you'll need for linking. If you have problems, post in the Flash AS1 and AS2 forum.
Beyond that, don't be surprised if some feedback arises here regarding using Flash buttons.

How to use Flash Skin in Dreamweaver 8

Hi,
I'd like to use a Flash Video Skin
(SteelExternalPlaySeekMute) that came with Flash 8, in Dreamweave.
I copied the skin file (SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf) into
Dreamweaver's Configuration>Templates>Video_Control folder,
but although I see the skin in Dreamweave's popup skin menu, I
doesnt function correctly.
I assume I need to be doing somethign with the .fla file
(SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.fla), but I cant figure out where to put
that in Dreamweaver.
Any suggestions on how to get my video to work with this skin
would be appreciated.
thank you....

bump...
would really appreciate it if someone could help me out
here....
thank you.

Disparition des versions d'essai en CS5 de InDesign, Flash pro et Dreamweaver

Bonjour,
Je voudrais savoir pourquoi les versions d'essai en CS5 de base de InDesign, Flash pro et Dreamweaver ont disparu du site Adobe ?
Alors que pourtant pour Illustrator et Photoshop Extended, les versions d'essai CS5 restent disponibles ?
J'espère que vous pourrez me répondre et me dire ou je pourrais les trouver en versions d'essai.
Merci beaucoup.

My machine translation leads me to think you are looking for trial versions. Adobe only posts trials for the most current versions, which in the case of InDesign is CS5.5.
I don't know if the tricks on this web page will get you to CS5 trials, but you can check Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
It is important to follow the directions on that page exactly, so if you don't read English very well you should ask someone who does to help you.

I can't open Flash, Illustrator or Dreamweaver CS6

Hi everyone !
I have a very big problem :
I can't open Flash, Illustrator or Dreamweaver CS6.
For the two last, I think downloading the latest version (CC) would solve the problem.
But I need to keep Flash CS6 to open my client AS2 files.
It stopped working for nothing (no updates or anything new).
When I try to launch : Dreamweaver and flash icons move and then stop. And Illustrator icon won't even move. And I don't get any launch screen or anything.
I tried to download again the softwares, to restore the preferences...
I'm on Mac OSX 10.9.1.
Thanks for your help !

Hi everybody !
I uninstalled everything, cleaned preferences, everywhere I could find them, cleaned my computer, repaired permission, etc...
And then re installed the adobe softwares I need...
And still, I can't turn on flash or dreamweaver CS6 AND CC.
Fortunately, I have my old notebook that I can run everything on to make what I need for my clients but it's an old one and it's really slow
The last solution I can think of is to re-install all my computer.
I really don't understand
I'll do that this weekend, I think... it should work... hopefully...
Regards,
Nastasia

Previewing Flash Button in Dreamweaver

When I insert the Flash Button/Movie into the Dreamweaver doc
and preview in browser, I only see a placeholder.
I created a simple Flash "movie" with some dynamic text
functioning as a button layered over the animation.
It previews fine in flash, and when I play the animation in
the Dreamweaver document it looks fine but when I try to preview it
in the browser from the Dreamweaver document all I see is a Flash
placeholder. Is this something that will change when the page is
published or is there something else I should try?

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate
internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
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?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons - and for
these reasons,
Adobe has removed Flash buttons and Flash text from CS4.

Integrating Lightroom Flash Gallery with Dreamweaver CS3

I have been unsuccessfully attempting to edit the gallery files created by Lightroom from within Dreamweaver. The index.html file comes up with this message when opened:
Sorry, this photo gallery requires that scripting be enabled on your web browser and that the Macromedia Flash Player be installed. Download the Macromedia Flash Player
However, I have the player installed...
I have tried uploading the files directly to my server from Lightroom but they do not display. The loading icon whirls endlessly and never resolves.
Does anyone have any advice.
Thanks in advance.

You can't edit a flash gallery with Dreamweaver.
To make changes to the LR flash gallery you would require a copy of the original fla file and a copy of Flash to edit it.
The index file you see is the one that loads the flash player to play your gallery. The message is what is seen in a browser that doesn't have flash player installed.
You can make amendments to the gallery itself by changing the xml files, although the changes you can make here can also be made in LR itself so why bother?
You can embed the gallery itself in your own html page. Using insert, media and then finding the gallery.swf file. As long as you then upload everything in the correct locations (including the scrippt files abd the new html file in the same folder structure it will work.
There are other flash galleries that are far easier to embed available. However in order to make serious changes to flash galleries of any type you will require the original fla file and most designers are not going to give you that! Adobe does give away the fla's for the galleries that ship with PS.

Swf from flash cs4 into dreamweaver cs4

I don't know why this is so difficult, but I'm unable to embed a swf generated in flash into a dreamweaver template. I can finally create a few basic animations and want to test them out in the dreamweaver envoirment. What is the simplest path to accomplishing this? For example if I open flash, create a simple animation, like a ball moving across the screen. If I save that SWF, what's the next step after opening dreamweaver. I just want to be able to test it the site with dreamweaver or see it "live". Thanks in advance.

Go to the Insert menu in DW and select swf. Find the .swf that you want to use and select it. Save the file and then use the Preview in Browser tool. Alternately, you can use the Publish function in the File menu in Flash to publish an html docuement that you can then open in DW.

Problem getting transparency in Dreamweaver with Flash

I recently upgraded my Dreamweaver to CS4 and it has has changed the code I had for a site I designed. I used to have transparency in my Flash movie so that the browser background could be seen through the movie. I have now lost this. Could someone please help me getting this transparency back as I know very little about Dreamweaver or html for that matter.
The site is at www.tuarard.ie
Any help would be amazing. Please also note I am a total beginner with html.
Thanks,
Peter

Problems with flash transparent drop down menu over html in some browsers

Hi everyone... this is my first post and it's about an issue
that's causing me a few problems.
I'm currently designing/ building my company's web site, the
test page be viewed here: www.musflashtv.com/test.htm
1) This layout contains an embeded flash movie (.swf) with a
transparent background, this is the main navigation.
The flash navigation has a drop down menu that animates down
and covers the html page (containing links) below.
The problem is that in most current browsers such as; Firefox
2.0.05 (links below template don't work), Netscape 8.1.3
(navigation drop down and links don't work) and Opera 9.10 (links
below template don't work), any links just below the 'invisible'
transparent area coverd by the navigation can't be clicked 'through
the flash file'. The exception is IE 7.0, everything is fine there.
(it hasn't been tested in any mac browsers though).
Because the area below the navigation on
www.kitachi.info/work is one large dummy jpeg file, the link below
would be a much better example to look at.
http://www.musflashtv.com/shows/ind...tlight-Sessions
The flash navigation is embedded in the html (tlp) template
file using the code below and aligned using an external style
(.css) sheet, this html code not only embeds the flash movie but it
also tells the browser to display it's background and as
transparent. The flash movie is embedded in a layer that sits above
the table.
3) The flash embed code:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
name="shows-navigation-tranparent" width="851" height="300"
align="top" class="flash-navigation"
id="shows-navigation-tranparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie"
value="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
<embed src="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" width="851"
height="300" align="top" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
bgcolor="#000000" name="navigation-tranparent"
allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
scale="exactfit" />
</object>
Does anybody know of any code that can solve this problem or
know a different way of creating a flash navigation with a drop
menu that can be embeded over html?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated especially as
this issue is holding back progress in a big way.
Thanks in advance guys!
Adie

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
last
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

Removing menu from Flash video in Dreamweaver

I have used the Flash Encoder to convert some videos to FLA.
I am now using Dreamweaver, "Insert->Flash Video", to add a FLA
file to a web page. I got the video in fine and it plays on the
page just fine. I would like to remove the menu from the video, but
there is not an option in properties to select "none" for the flash
video menu. I also tried changing the attirbute
"&skinName=SteelExternalNoVol" to "&skinName=none" and that
made the flash video not show up.
I would also like to loop the video and that option is not
available in the Dreamweaver menu.
My code is
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','

Could someone tell me if I should be able to add parameters
to this code and get results. I have found mention of values like
<param name="loop" value="true" />
but when I used it nothing changed on playback.

Flash Buttons in Dreamweaver

Hey Everyone
So i have these Flash buttons on my website(which is done in
Dreamweaver), and when i go to 'test' the site... the buttons will
work when the page first loads(Home)... but if i go to click on a
link, lets say "Contact", the buttons aren't there anymore! And if
i go back to "Home" they arent there either!!
Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions to this
problem?!
Thanxs much in advance!!
-Liz

>>actually, i do have the OBJECT tags...
>> but if i go to click on a link, lets say "Contact",
the buttons aren't
>> there anymore!
Do you have the Flash buttons on all web pages was my point.
In other words,
did you have the same Flash buttons on the Contact page?
>>Can someone take a look at my code and see whats
wrong with it?
/intro_buttons.swf
Is the intro_buttons.swf in the web site root folder -- what
/ means? On the
local drive the / could mean the root folder of the computer
if you are not
testing under

Flash Embed in Dreamweaver and IE on PC

Hi,
I just completed my first flash page and everything looks
good so far. But I'm having an issue when I look at the page on a
PC using IE. When the page load's the flash movie needs to be
clicked on before the buttons are allowed to roll over. This does
not happen on macs using any of the browsers I have, Mozilla and
safari.
Here's how I've embedded the swf file. I've imported the
flash movie and placed in a dreamweaver HTML file then uploaded to
server. Any ideas how to solve this issue. I can provide a link if
it'll help.
Thanks

This is cute
This question has been asked in here 90 over times just this
month.
Please search the forum archives for "Click to Activate" and
you will find
lots of posts with links to how to fix the problem.
Also, try to search next time before you post, it's counter
productive to
keep replying same questions over and over...and in case of
