Flash Video in a page made from a template

And discards the change. I am trying to insert into the
editable region but it will not allow.
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
Making this change would require changing code that is locked
by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded.
Any ideas,

This is incorrect. You have been told this before, you know?
Please adjust
your response! 8)
The problem is that when you insert the Flash video, if you
don't pay
attention, you might leave the checkbox for "checking the
version of the
Flash player" enabled. When you do that, DW wants to insert a
call into the
body tag, onload. Of course, in a template, the body tag is
locked, and
that's what causes the error message.
To get around it, uncheck that version checking checkbox.

How can I create a navigation bar in the template so I can change the down state of a button on a page made from the template in DW3?

We're creating pages from a template in DW3. The template includes a header, footer and a navigation bar. We've made the navigation bar an editable region so that we can change the down state of the buttons on pages where it is required. However, when we make a new page from the template and try to change the behaviors of the buttons in the navigation bar it will not allow us to make those changes.

Have you considered using CSS styled text/list menus instead of image rollovers. It isn't hard really and it's actually a much better choice for web accessibility and for search engines to find and follow your links. Here are some links to several CSS menu systems you can try:

How can I edit the head section of a page made from a template?

Humm, I made a page from a template but now I cannot modify the <head> section... I will need to add some HTML to the head section that will be different for at least this one specific page...

Be aware that you CANNOT use the DW UI to add an editable region to the head. A properly made DW template always contains two editable regions in the head of the template: "doctitle" and "head". If you do not have those, then as Nancy says, you will need to add them.
To add an editable region to the head of your template page, just copy this and paste it in to some legal place in the head of the page (like immediately above </head>).


Change the name as needed.

New pages made From Template messed up!

Hello,
I have made a template that is not yet finished... I decided
to test it out, but when I make new pages from it, the formatting
is messed up (in any new pages that I create from the template).
This of course is happening prior to uploading to the pages... (I
need to make many different pages from the template but cannot
proceed because of this...)
If I preview the new ‘messed up’ page in Safari
(that is by clicking the Preview button in Dreamweaver itself), it
is almost OK, but the background image does not show up. Could
anyone suggest what I might need to do to get the ‘new’
page to appear fine in Dreamweaver itself.
I am new to Dreamweaver and have just started with it since
moving from GoLive...
Thanks in advance.

If it would be considered a bug, then many programs would
have it! As a
general rule of thumb, it's best to avoid any characters in
your
file/pathnames other than letters, numbers, and
hyphens/underscores. That
would eliminate spaces, quotes, ampersands, parentheses, etc.

It should appear, so there must be something wrong in the
resulting code.
Can we see it?

Multiple Flash Videos on 1 Page

Hi All
If i were to put 4 flash videos into a page, by using the
'import flash video' function in DW CS3 - will they all load at the
same time, or only load when the user clicks play?
Many Thanks
JP

Im not sure I understand, however I have a page up with 2
flash movies, but
I timed them by extending the first frame on the one to not
start any motion
until the first one is coming to an end.
So they both in essence start at once, but the one on top
plays out, as it
is coming to an end, the one in the body begins to move...

Dont know if that helps you or not.

Changing header information in pages made from templates

I am familiar with GoLive and using components for menus to
accomodate universal changes.
I am new to Dreamweaver (CS3). I am using templates for my
menus so I can make universal changes. However, what do I do if I
want to put a form on a page and need to be able to put some code
in the header? I cannot because the header is non-editable on pages
made from templates.
Are templates the only alternative to GoLive Components?
THX

This is the sign of an improperly made template.
Do this -
Create a new page (Basic HTML).
Use FILE | Save as Template....
Look at the code in the head region of the page, particularly
the editable
region around the <title> tag, and the other editable
region in the head
called "head".
Make your template file look like that.
Always use FILE | Save as Template when you create your
templates and you
won't have this problem again.

It can be done, since youtube does it. But that requires
heavy-duty programming and I suspect some
special server components (maybe Flash Server must be
installed too or something).
In any case that's not something you can do with Dreamweaver
or without a thorough knowledge of
server-side programming.
An alternative is to create a swf file in Flash that will
import linked media. You can link
quicktime videos dynamically and play them in the swf.
I'm not sure what other video formats are supported. You
might want to look into the Flash Media
Player component.

Meta Tag Placement in pages created from a template

I am updating a site and want to make sure that I place my meta tags correctly in individual pages created from a template. Can you tell me if my placement is correct?
Below is code I added to my template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>

 
<style type="text/css">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>


<meta name="keywords" content="piano lessons, guitar lessons, drum lessons, flute lessons, violin lessons, afterschool performing arts, voice lessons, singing, saxophone, trumpet">
<meta name="description" content="Information about Young Musician Institute's Afternoon Arts Program for piano, guitar, drums, violin, viola, trumpet, saxophone and cello">

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
As usually, Begin and end editable sections are grayed out, and the meta tag names are blue according to my scheme so I think I am doing it correctly, however, I want to be sure before submitting it to google incorrectly. Can you tell me if I am correct?
Thank you

for clarification, are you saying that I could have put them on the line after:
<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>
Yep.
Second, adding these meta tags actually did help the ranking of this company. They were not listed before I did this on their old site. They were on page 1 of their category hours after I did this for them.
I think it's just coincidence. However, for sure it wasn't the keywords that did that, since those are just ignored (the meta keywords contents, not the meta description contents).
what are the search engines looking for? I want to make sure to design with those things in mind.
They are looking for semantic content on the page. That means the contents of tags like <title>, <h1>, <h2>, <h3>. That also means (derived) keywords contained in content 'above the fold', and in filenames, in links, in title and alt attributes. In other words, search engines want to rank your pages based on *real* meaning of the contents of the page, not on some arbitrary listing of keywords that you place in a meta keyword tag.
Search engines also pay lots of attention to INCOMING links from other well ranked sites....

Can't add spry widget to page created from dreamweaver template

Please help! I have created a template in Dreamweaver and
from that template I have created an html page. I want to add
different tabbed and/or accordion spry widgets to multiple pages
however I keep getting an error when I try to add a widget to an
editable region. I can add the widgets to the dwt file, but I do
not want the same widget on all pages created from that template.
Please advise!
Thanks
cycleguy

If that's all that's on the child page you are in trouble.
Anyhow, it appears to me that the template has not been
properly created
since I do not also see an editable region around the
<title> tag in your
code. Please read my previous post and follow the
instructions.

Flash Video in PHP page wont load/play.

I have a page that I have inserted a Flash Video into using
the INSERT > MEDIA > FLASH VIDEO tool. I have done this
before with success and no problem.
I have been reading other threads on this forum and have
noted other things to be careful of. In particular, I have already
turned off the option to "Prompt Users to Download. . . " and this
solved the first problem I had. I have also checked to make sure
that I have the Scripts folder in the proper directory. The odd
part is that it has always made that folder before, but it is not
making that folder for me. I copied one from another project I did
and put it in the directory, but it still does not work.
Does this have to do with the fact that it is on a PHP
include page in a CSS container? Any thoughts or suggestions would
be appreciated.
Thanks!

Flash video on web page takes long very time to load before it starts playback

I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback.
I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large?
Some vitals:
- I'm using Flash Pro CS5
- To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.
- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file)
- Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

Thanks for your response again. Looks like things have changed a bit to complicate this a little more.
adninjastrator wrote:
Are you saying that if I wait long enough it will start to play .... from the link you posted?
What you are implying here is correct. The file won't play no matter how long you wait. Looks like it's because of the "source" file settings in the Import Wizard may now be incorrrect. This is why it's not playing in the new file.
When I created my original Flash Video using a MOV file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "Already deployed to a web server...". Here I entered the url to where the video file is located on my production server.
When I created the new Flash Video using F4V file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "On your computer". Here I selected the file from my local drive.
Sorry for not pointing out the inconsistency earlier - I didn't think it mattered and plus I couldn't get the F4V file to import from the web server.
Anyway, I've changed my object tag using the acutal published html that flash generates and have uploaded all source files to same location.
http://www.upperhand.com/tv/video-intro.html
To sum up the problem(s) I need help with:
Issue #1 - When trying to import F4V file using import wizard, I cannot use "Already deployed to a web server..." as an option for the file location. I believe this is creating issue #2
Issue #2 - For some reason, the F4V file will not load into the SWF file when it's published to my production server.
It works when viewing locally through browser as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on development server through browser as http://localhost/mywebsite/video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on production server through browser as http://www.mywebsite.com/video-intro.html
Issue #3 - When the above are resolved, I'm not certain if my orignal question/issue will be resolved... browser tries to downlaod full file before any playback.

CS6 - Trouble displaying Flash video in Web pages

Hi,
Here's my problem: I embedded .flv videos in HTML pages the same way I've been doing it for years. It worked fine until I moved to CS6.
The last video clips were edited and encoded in Flash format (1024x576 for 1800 bps) in Premiere CSS6 then embedded in HTML pages in DW CS6 after creating the .swf files with Flash CS6. All CS6, no compatilbity problems then.
Once onlie, they fail to display properly, i.e. you have to click a couple of times on the Start/Pause button and occasionally refresh the page to be able to view the video. It's works fine once started but the trouble is getting it to start automatically.
There's over 300 videos ranging from a few seconds to about 15 min on this site, and this is the very first time I come across this kind of problem.
Any suggestion?
Here's on of the old videos: http://www.aquiceara.com/UK/Video/Bresil_Maranhao_Survol_Lencois.html
And here's one of the CS6 "troublesome" videos: http://www.aquiceara.com/UK/Video/Chine_HK_Tai_Hang.html

The answer is to exactly copy the code from the CS5.5 and below versions of Dreamweaver.
Bu Nancy is correct. Everyone is moving to other standards for video on websites. Nancy generally recommends Pickle Player and I have been hand-coding using the HTML5 standards. I have generally found that all videos play in all browsers using the new standards, though you do have to support OGG and WEBM video files on your server.

Juggling Acrobat "slide time" that has Flash video on a page

I am trying to build a corporate slideshow from InDesign Mac over to Acrobat Pro 9.
Once I get inside Acrobat Pro 9 "fullscreen" mode, I want each slide to play 5 seconds. (So far no problem.)
But I have one page that has a properly placed Flash video in it -- a 30-second video.
How can I get Acrobat to hold on that page/slide until the Flash video completes.
So far, I can only get 5 seconds of the video, and then Acrobat rolls on to the next slide.
I have not been able to find any solution online. Anyone have an idea?

Adding Flash Video to web page

Hi Everyone,
I have a web page that I have added a flash video to using
the insert flash video option in Dreamweaver. I uploaded all the
files including the additional files that are created when you use
that option and when I try to get to the video file once I have
uploaded it will not play. If I use a link directly to the .swf
then it will play but the link to the page where the video is
inserted just shows a blank page. Can anyone give me any guidance
on how I can get this to work.
P.S. If I preview it from my desktop before uploading to the
website it works fine.
Thanks,
Robert

Center flash video player on page

Hi everyone,
I have a webpage that I inserted a flash video file on the
page. The player is 320x240 and is the only thing that will appear
on the page. I want to center the player inside the div that it is
in. I have tried setting the div margins in CSS and it looks
correct when I do this but when I preview the page it still appears
on the left side of the div. Is there a way that I can center this
that I am missing? Here is a link to the page to look at.

essentially useless here)
