Flash With Dreamweaver

I've been designing a website and want the first thing
someone sees on my site is a flash movie I've made. The flash movie
starts with the company name and moves objects across the screen
right to left to reveal the website. I've made it so it removes the
company name and turns into a white screen. Is there a way to make
this white layer transparent? Also how do i place this flash movie
ontop of my dreamweaver site I have built?

search help docs or this forum or google for "WMODE" - it is
also in your publish settings (HTML
tab) but you should read all the threads here over the years
about the pros and cons about this
feature - not supported in older borwsers except for IE and
has been reported as very buggy.

HELP! Embedding Flash with Dreamweaver CS4

Hello i'm have issues with CS4 embedding Flash FLV's.
It won't show up when it's on the server but it's working
locally.
i've uploaded all the files in the scripts folder and the swf
skin files.
But it still won't work server-side.
I did not have this issue with dreamweaver CS3 as i've found
that Dreameaver CS4 seems to
change how the code of how the .FLV is embedded
any ideas??
or is anyone else having this issue?
thanks
Jordan
here's is my current test page link with a sample flv video:
http://www.lambethdesktop.com/flashtest/index.html
i've also attached the code of the html page it has been
embedded in.

This script appears to be missing (or uploaded to the wrong
folder)

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.

Flash with dreamweaver files.

is it possible to import an area on a flash project space
with scrolls bars that acts as a mini frame within a flash projct
that wil display an .html file? is that possible. my point of that
is so the site automatically resizes itself to a users
moniter.

I'm having the exact same problem here:
http://www.stjohnsgeorgetown.org/
There's supposed to be a flash file at the top of the page, which
isn't showing up. I tried changing the URL to an absolute path and
it doesn't work. HELP!

Integrating a little Flash in 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.

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.

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.

Problem with dreamweaver and Flash

Hi, maybe someone can help me, i have any problem with
dreamweaver and flash, i have a page and i have a menu and
sub-menu, and the same page i have a category en flash 550 x 700 (
photography and more... ) but when the menu to unfold
the menu to see under flash and it cant see ( sorry my
english is bad.... i hope you can understand me, and help me.. )
i dont now why always flash ever stay up, or first, and
another information under flash... this a problem... if you have
menus...
thanks.... have nice day.....

This is a drawback of using flash or any other active
content. By default, all active content including flash will
display over every other content and thats why your menu stays
under the flash movie. Some people make the flash background
transparent to show content under the flash movie, but that will
not work for menu items.
I would suggest that you make the menu such that it does not
overlap with the flash movie.

Using Flash 8 with Dreamweaver 8

Hi guys and gals, I am in a unfomfortable situation now. I
have awsome ideas of how I would like to implement my creative
talents in building awsome websites but I cannot seem to transfer
over what ever graphics, text, buttons to Dreamweaver. I'm creating
.swf files but when I try to open up any item created from Flash it
gets all weird. I cannot seem to save those graphics and such to
html so I keep getting like a grey box with the flash logo.
Now, moving items from Fireworks to Dreamweaver is fine but
moving items from Flash to Dreamweaver is a pain in the arse.
Also, I TOTALLY understand that Dreamweaver is a awsome
formating tool but I don't know about you guys but I feel that I
feel so restrained by using these templates. I understand that
websites need to have structure but what if you want to make
different structures for certain pages on your sight?
Yes using CSS is very customizable but MUST you have
templates to put any type of graphic on a Dreamweaver design view?
All I want to achieve is making simple graphics with Flash,
Edit those graphics with Fireworks and drop them into Dreamweaver.
That's ALL I want to do but I'm having such a hard time doing this.
I'm beginning to feel completely retarded or something but
I'm just not getting it. I've bought every dog gone book and CD on
the market but I'm just not getting this concept.
But then again, I am a beginner so slap me twice, lol.
Please for all you veterans out their, explain to me like I'm
a 12 year old. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I'm trying to build a simple mock up of a simple web
page with like 5 navigational pages. I want to have buttons,
graphics, text, sound and video just to include what most websites
have just so I can get a understanding of how to put together a web
page.
Do you guys have suggestions on this idea?
Thank you once again and god bless.

>feel so restrained by using these templates
what templates? Halo? Don't.
> need to have structure but what if you want to make
different structures
> for certain pages on your sight
No problem (see below)
>moving items from Flash to Dreamweaver is a pain in the
arse.
Don't move - import them
>drop them into Dreamweaver
see above
>I've bought every dog gone book and CD on the market
All the books in the world on Dreamweaver cannot replace
books/tutorials on
HTML and CSS before you get to the hair-tearing stage (oops!
too late!)
> Please for all you veterans out their, explain to me

> old. What am I doing wrong?
Not a veteran (well, not in experience lol!) - what you're
doing wrong is
going about using Dreamweaver like you would Word or as if
it's WYSIWYG -
it's not.
Have a look at this
http://www.w3schools.com/ on
the left, learn X/HTML and Learn CSS.
There *are* good, ready-made templates available if you want
to go down this
road, but without a grounding in HTML and CSS, you will
continue to wonder
if it's all worth it (o:
http://www.dreamweaverresources.com/freetemplates.htm
and others. Good luck!

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.

Embedding Lightroom HTML gallery with Dreamweaver

I'm new to Dreamweaver and have used it to build a portfolio website. I've created HTML image galleries using Lightroom and would like to integrate these galleries into my existing page design. Lightroom generates an Index file, as well as Context and Resources folders. I've seen an earlier discussion about using LR to upload the galleries to my host, then edit the HTML to link the gallery pages to my other web pages. This strikes me as cumbersome for two products made by a single company.
What I'm after is a clear answer about if I can embed these HTML galleries quickly and easily into my existing page design? My other solution is to use the Airtight SimpleViewer gallery, but since it's using Flash, my galleries won't work on Apple mobile devices.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and Lightroom 3.
Thanks in advance for any help.

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="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0"

</object>

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.

Online Photo Albums With Dreamweaver/FireWorks

I try to make an online photo album with dreamweaver and fireworks and it says an "internal error occured" and wont work. Any idea wha the problem is?

Hi,
I am really not sure why you would have that problem. If there is any way you can explain what you did exactly in your coding.
Are you trying to do this in your website?
http://blogger-templates.blogspot.com/2005/09/flash-slideshow.html
If you are trying to do a photo album there are several tutorials online that help you out(are you trying to use Flickr?). I personally make my own photo slideshows using Flash.
Let me know how it goes,

Flash to Dreamweaver 8 question

Ok, so my question to all you geniuses is pretty simple. If
you notice here on Adobes website, the text that they use is
amazingly clean. The anti-aliasing is near perfect so I can only
assume they're using some type of flash based software to produce
this effect.
I use flash 8 and when I produce text on it it's near
perfect, just like the text on this website, but I can't seem to
have it editable on Dreamweaver 8 when I transfer it over. I can't
highlight the text to link it to external or internal files. All I
can do is play it as a video. Although the quality looks awsome,
just like it did on Flash but again I can't edit it so that I can
have the text link to files. Like how adobe uses there text as
links to other pages, that is what I want to do with Flash text but
using Dreamweaver to develop the website.
The problem with Dreamweaver and Fireworks is that the text
don't come out looking as clean, no matter how high I set the
anti-aliasing settings. In-fact on Dreamweaver, I couldn't even
find a settings to increase anti-aliasing. On Fireworks I managed
to find a custome setting and blasted it to the max, but
comparisons side by side didn't look good. The flash based text was
still cleaner, especially when I blew up the size of the text.
Now obviously since flash is flash based and Dreamweaver
probably uses a different type of engine to produce anti-aliasing
how is it that adobe.com managed to make their website so clean
looking. Everything from there text to boxes, to graphics to well
you get my point.
Anyhow, my main concern is my text. If anyone can help me
with my text issue please give me your pointers. I know adobe is
using flash but how are they making there text individualy
linkable?
Thanks a million!!!

You can't edit a flash document using Dreamweaver. Can you
provide an example of your issue? What part of adobe.com are you
referring to? A link would be helpful.
