Hot spots-Dreamweaver & Flash

I have a flash timeline on a Dreamweaver site. Is it possible to add hot spots or links to it that will trigger a tooltip or take you to another page on the site? If so how.

To the best of my knowledge, you need to use Action Script within Flash, in your .fla file. Depending on your version of Flash, you will use either Action Script 2.0 or Action Script 3.0.
There may be a way you can fake it with a hot spot/link, but I have no experience with that.

Dreamweaver Flash Embedding Problem...

Hello all,
Just stumbled across a slight issue which im hoping some of
you may be able to help me with...
Firstly I will give a slight bit of background...
As part of a University assignment, a small Dreamweaver based
website is to be created. In this case I am doing a small website
for a local architecture firm (it is a live brief).
As a total beginner with dreamweaver, ive come across a
problem which is the final piece of the jigsaw, once this is sorted
it is pretty much finished!
Anyways, onto the problem...
The background to the site is one simple jpeg, with the bulk
text and the links as part of the jpeg, with basic hot-spots
covering each element.
However, I also want to integrate flash movies onto the
page...
To do this I created a new layer and placed the flash movies
into their relevant places.
When published, the flash elements seem to align themselves
with the browser window itself, as apposed to the page as a whole
(which is centred).
Here is a URL to the test upload (there is a spelling mistake
and a few other things that I have now sorted ready for a final
upload once sorted)
http://www.pnefans.net/LMP/home.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou in advance....

This is how layers work. Their position is offset from the
location of the
closest positioned ancestor contaner. When there is none, the
position is
relative to the <body> tag. That's what you are
describing.
To change that, create a 'closest positioned ancestor
container' that just
happens to be one that will center along with the rest of the
page.
Change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
change this -
<body ...>
to this -
<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">
and this -
</body>
to this -
</div>
</body>
and see if that helps.

How do I use hot spots in the most advanced style?

My first attempt at Dreamweaver web design.http://www.deer-harbor-stewardship-project.org . I will be resampling my images and doing a ton of other appropriate modifications but here are some initial questions. How do I use this "plug in" http://mattstow.com/experiment/responsive-image-maps/rwd-image-maps.html#blossom feature for my fluid grid responsive image map. How can I make my hot spots turn up little boxes with a photo, an illustration, or informatory text? How do I get ride of the spaces between divs? Sorry if I have asked too many questions. I better read the forum user rules if you have them. thanks for reading this. endurobob

Anyhow, it makes no sense to put image tags within container tags meant to convey semantic meaning to their contents since an image has no semantic meaning. So try changing this -
<div id="header">
<h1><img src="_images/title_scan.jpg" alt="newtitle"></h1>
to this -
<div id="header">
<img src="_images/title_scan.jpg" alt="newtitle">
I completely agree with this. However, if having an image as a heading was important (if you styled it in a way you can not with CSS) you could always code the image into the heading through CSS.
Something like:
<h1 class="heading">This is a heading</h1>
h1.heading {
margin:0;
width:??;
height:??;
background: #000 url(ImageURLHere) no-repeat;
text-indent:-9999px; /* This will move the text of the heading off-screen */
The 0 margin on the style should clear up the gap as well.

Can't Make a Hot Spot!

Hi there,
I'm using Dreamweaver 8 to make a new website.
For some reason I can't make a hot spot. I've only made one
website before and just checked on those pages and was able to
click on the hot spot tools and draw a hot spot.
Then I go to my new website and click on an image and then
click on the hot spot tools and try to draw a hot spot on the
picture- what happens is the picture tries to "drag and drop". That
is the command that dreamweaver says is happening when I try to try
to draw the hot spot. ???????
What went wrong???
Here is the Html code behind the photo I'm trying to draw the
hot spot on:
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><img
src="graphics-headers/skyfooter.jpg" alt="Sky Footer" width="800"
height="45" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I don't know
what I did in the code that's preventing me from drawing them.
As I'm just starting making all my pages off my template-
found another problem:
Template won't update all the changes. For instance: Made a
change to the copyright footer - capitilized first letter- this
change won't update. Made changes to the page properties with a
link color change, also changed editable region- these changes
updated.
Weird!!! So the pages made from the template will be updated
only part ways from the original Template!
What did I do wrong? My first website went very well.
www.zoodoc-stories.com

When you create a polygonal hotspot, you don't click and
drag. You click at
the vertex of each side. Is that what you are doing?
Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating
from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?
Or, read this -

How to have a hot spot open a small separate window

Hi everybody.
I'm trying to make a new website. My old one (burrjohnson.com) is in bad need for an upgrade. In my new website that I'm currently working on, I have a page that has a picture in the main div section. The picture is an image that shows 9 guitars. I have made each guitar in the image into a hot spot. I've created a seperate html page for each hotspot to go to that has a description of each guitar. I want people to be able to click on each guitar in the image and have a window pop up (seperate smaller page) that has the description for that particular guitar. With my old website, on the "gigs" page (the page where people could see where my band is playing) if you clicked on the images I placed on that page, (like a pictire of the club for that gig) it opened a seperate window containing the clubs website. I accomplished this by putting the clubs website address in the "link" portion of the properties inspector for the image in question. It opened a seperate window because in the "link" window, the address for the clubs website was preceded by "javascript:openNewLgWindow". so, for example, in the gigs page, at the top, there is an image under the info for our gig we did in Putnam Valley on november 5th. It is a Putnam Valley picture, and if you click on it, it opens a seperate window with their website. In the properties inspector for that image, the "link" window has the following in it:
javascript:openNewLgWindow('http://www.pvpr.com/home.php?ID=ParkFacilities');
This opens a seperate window with their address in it.
Now, with the new website page, I want to have each hot spot surrounding each guitar open its respective info page, but putting the javascript part in front of the name of page does not work. if I take out the javascript part, the hot spot will take you to the info page but it doesn't open a seperate window.
Idealy what I hope I can do is just have a small window open when you click on the hot spot (because the content in the info pages are only about 4 inches by 4 inches
How can I do this??
Thank you in advance
Burr

Making a POP-UP window in Dreamweaver with the Behaviors Panel
=================================================
1. Insert an image or type some text on your page.
2. Select it and go to the Link Field in your Properties Panel. Browse for the file or type the full URL (http://example.com).
3. Go to the Behaviors Panel and hit the plus sign to add a new behavior.
4. Select Open Browser Window from the list.
5. Browse to file or type the URL (Yes, a 2nd time).
6. Set the height, width and other optional attributes for your pop-up window. (See link below for details)
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcd a9110b1f693f21-7b07a.html
7. Hit OK.
8. Verify that the behavior's trigger event is onClick. If it's not, click the event box to show other trigger options.
9. Go back to the Properties Panel and replace the first URL in the link field with javascript:() This makes the primary link into a null link.
Save your page and preview in browsers.
PS. It takes longer to explain all these steps than it does to do it.
Good luck,

Export hot spots for GL CS2

Hi, I've created a simple image with a hotspot but when I
export as a jpeg I loose the hotspot. I've also tried to export
jpeg + html and tried to paste the generated code in the sourcecode
of my GL page but it's not working. What am I missing? I'm using FW
CS3, GL CS2 and OS 10.4.11 all updated to latest versions.

>wow! 100,000 shots...
Really. It's nice to see someone has job security in this economy.
>Everything I have read so far says to avoid using flash. The reasons given were: distraction (for the employees), uneven color (due to "hot spots") and time to recharge the flash between firing.
Flash/strobe as far as I'm concerned, is going to be much more consistent color and exposure wise than tungsten. Flash tubes tend to stay much more constant over time and will certainly last much longer. And you won't have hot spots if you do as Ann says:
>That means having at least two identical units positioned at equal distances on either side between the camera and the blue print and at a 45° angle from the print.
Considering the enormity and apparent historic or other importance---and not knowing what sort of equipment you already have---I certainly wouldn't consider it imprudent to figure in an investment of a few hundred to (more likely) a few thousand dollars in order to make this happen as expeditiously as possible.
And if you're going to be doing 100,000 shots straight down, either make sure you have a comfortable set-up and/or enroll in a yoga class, because that's gonna be tough on the back.
>I still think someone is exaggerating or pulling my leg.
Somehow, I think that as well. Otherwise, we'll see you when you surface in 3.42 years.

Multiple "hot spots," one rollover image

Im building an online artist's portfolio website and trying
to lay out a dozen thumbnail images that when rolled over trigger a
corresponding image to appear to the left of the thumbnails. All
hot spots trigger the same image to change. Any advice on how to
achieve this?

I went through the steps KenRogers2 suggested, and when I
first click on "+" under the behaviors tab I get error message #
61878. After clicking ok the behaviors tab opens. After going
through the steps and previewing in Safari (Im running OSX 10.4.8)
all I get is the hot link hand over the thumbnail, but no rollover
image replaces the default. Any ideas?
I've also recently downloaded an update for dreamweaver and
have been getting a jave error when I try to open any file, but
everything seems normal after I hit ok. Not sure that has anything
to do with the other error, just thought I'd throw it out
there..

Hot Spots Help

Hello,
I have a problem that seems like its just one small detail
that I am missing but I cannot figure it out for the life of me.
I have made a local version of the page I am editing. I added
hot spots with links to word documents that are on our sites FTP
server, and the address are correct. When I hit preview in firefox
everything works flawless. Then I click put, and go to check it on
the live site, and now it doesn't work. I can't even detect the hot
spot that I created while on the live site.
Thanks in advance.

> but I am picking most of it up fast
Put it down, quickly, before you hurt yourself (as we can see
you are about
to do from your linked page - 81K for a jpg image of an
ordinary list?).
You only have a single image map on the page, and it
corresponds to the
image map for the links in the masthead.
Go here -
http://www.w3schools.com - and
get some HTML and CSS under your
belt. Then you can come back to DW. It will expect you to
bring that
knowledge to the table.

Hot Spots that actually work?

I'm beyond frustrated here. I've been trying to get a Hot
Spot question slide to work for over an hour now. (Can you say,
"Lost productivity?") Tried everything logical. Made the hot spot
bigger, smaller, deleted the slide and recreated, turned off
project compression, added/subtracted additional hot spots,
verified my hot spot is marked as the "Correct" hot spot, turned
on/off the "Show hand pointer", added different images and tried
them merged/unmerged with background and some other things I'm sure
I'm forgetting. HELP! I need this to work for my SME. What simple
thing am I overlooking here? Or do these just not work?

Hello again Brian
On the Preview bit, I'm guessing you have upgraded your Flash
Player to the most recent version. And there are issues with
Captivate and that version. Check out the following link for that.
Click
here
Have you tried the Hotspot question in a totally new project?
I see you already tried deleting and re-creating the slide to no
avail. That makes me think that maybe for this project that object
is corrupt somehow.
Hopefully something here was helpful... Rick

Hot spots as web links

Adobe Bridge Buttons in Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks?

Hello,
Adobe says that the button to connect to Adobe bridge is in
every CS3 application. I can find it in Photoshop, Illustrator, and
even Contribute, a former Macromedia project, but none of the other
Macromedia projects (Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks) have one. Am I
missing it, or is this a glitch?
Thanks,
Dylan

Go to Edit > Prefs > Enable Version Cue. Once you do
that look in the lower left corner of the flash
application - you should see "Open" with an arrow. Clicking
on it will popup "Reveal in Bridge" button.

How can I use my iPhone'hot spot to send email from my computer ?

Hi,

Hi iCare,
Thanks for helping ... All that configuration is already done. I am able to surf the web from my computer using my iPhone's hotspot.
When I want to send an email from my computer, I get a message asking me to select the the SMTP server. Then I select my usual ISP server, but the message comes back telling me it does not work.
Is there any other configuration to do ?

Hi Templeton Peck,
Thanks for droping in my thread ...
Doesn't the fact that I can surf the web with my iPhone's hot spot and that I cannot use Mail normally has I normally do give you a clue what the problem could be ?
What other information can I give you other than normally I can surf and send email with my regular ISP. Now that my ISP is dead I am using my iPhone's hotspot to surf the web awaiting that my ISP's connoection returns. Surfing is OK but I cannot send emails with through Mail.
When I want to send an email from my computer, I get a message asking me to select the the SMTP server. Then I select my usual ISP server, but the message comes back telling me it does not work.
Is there any other configuration to do ?
