How to deactivate Related Files in Dreamweaver CS4 (totally)

Hello,
how can I deactived the Related Files feature (not only the Bar).
We work directly on the Server. We don't want Dreamweaver to donwload the related files and save them back!
Our wish is that Dreamweaver CS4 save only the file we have open (without the related files).
Axel Neswadba

When you use "Save" with Related Files, whichever document (either the main document in the Design View, or the Related File in Code VIew) that has focus is saved.
You can disable Related Files in the Preferences General Tab. You will need to shutdown and restart DW for the change to take efffect.
HTH,
Randy

How do I go about transferring files from Dreamweaver CS4 to Dreamweaver CC?

How do I go about transferring
files from Dreamweaver CS4 to Dreamweaver CC?

If both versions are on the same hard drive, simply tell DW CC where your site files are located on your hard drive. Go to Site > New Site and define your site.

Are all of your pages that are linked to this on the same directory level?
The ../../ in front of every link means "go up two directory levels". If there are no pages, or if some of the pages are not at that directory level, the links would be going to nothing.
I don't use library items myself, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but the "bad path" in your error report leads me to think some of those paths (since they're the only ones in the code) could be pointing to the wrong locations.
My response will also bump your question back to the top of the pile. Maybe someone else will have a good idea of what's actually happening.

Cannot play MP3 files in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi
Apogogies if this has been asked before.
I have an embedded MP3 file on one of my DWCS4 pages but when I try to play it from the Properties Inspector I get the message "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type".
The sound file plays OK in Firefox and IE but I would like to be able to test it in DW. I have the currrent version of Apple QuickTime Pro installed.
I am using both Windows XP and Vista with the same problem.
Is there a plug I can download for DW only in order to play these files without resorting to converting the MP3 to another format.
Any help would be much appreicated.
Thanks
George

Yes but I did exactly what I accused you of doing so it was really bad!
Software troubles can drive you a bit crazy. Sorry again.

Inserting flv file in Dreamweaver CS4

When I insert a flv file using Dreamweavr CS4 using asp (Windows XP, SP3 and IE8), I only get two additional files generated (FLV-PlayerProgressive.swf and a skins file. I get no other files generated, either in my root folder of a Scripts folder. FLV file works fine in Live Mode, but all I get is a white box when I upload the files to my server. I've read numerous similar questions. Has anyone ever got a good answer? How can I resolve this issue? I appreciate any help from anyone.

I have checked numerous reference materials concerning this problem, and cannot really find any answer as to why DW CS4 is not inserting the files (for some users). I have even tried using different programs to encode an flv file, and creating an html page direct from within flash CS4, just to see if different files are created (definitely more options etc), but to no avail.
The files DW should create are -
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf,
Halo_Skin_3.swf (this is a skins file and can be any one of 9 available)
2 files in a Scripts folder named –
swfobject_modified.js
expressInstall.swf
In the head content it should insert the following -
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
The only option I can recommend, is to insert the flv into a new (otherwise blank) html file, and then copy the code from there (providing it works of course).
I know this is a problem for many people, and I have even considered asking the forum administrators if I could write an FAQ on how-to and possible solutions.
If DW is not inserting the files mentioned above it may be worth while trying an uninstall / reinstall, but my recommendation is to first create a fictitious site, and then insert an flv into a blank html file (as mentioned above), just to test if that works.

Dynamic swf file into dreamweaver cs4

Good evening to all,
Can a basic slide show created in Flash cs4 using as2 to load the images dynamically be inserted into a Dreamweaver cs4 page ?
The swf file shows up but I can't figure out where to put the linking images so the 2 basic "next" and "previous" buttons work ?
Thank as always,
Fred...

When you load the swf file into the html page, that becomes the swf's reference for loading files. So if your structure has a folder containing the html file and another folder for the flash file and another folder for the images, as in...
main_folder...
     - html file
     - flash folder
          - - flash file
     - images folder
          - - image files
then you need to change where the swf file is looking for the images because when it is in the html page, that is essentially the folder it is trying to get the images to load thru.
For instance, if you originally tested using Flash with the swf file targeting the images using...
"../images/imagefile.jpg"
(or something like that... those dots confuse me at times)
and the structure is as I described, then when testing in the html file the targeting would need to be changed to...
"images/imagefile.jpg"
Just think of the swf file as living in the html file's folder as far as targeting any files it needs to load, because once it is loaded into that page, it has basically moved to that new location.

Editing CSS, related files requires save (cs4)

You know what really Grinds My Gears? (family guy reference,
lol)
When I edit the CSS in the right hand panel, sometimes it
makes the CSS file in the Related Files toolbar not saved with a *
next to the filename. Sometimes it goes ahead and just saves the
changes right away. Like most, I'm constantly switching back/forth
between browsers so CSS has to be saved to see changes.
Kindofa pain to have to click the css file in the related
toolbar and Ctrl+S to save before each preview...I haven't been
able to find out why it "dirties" the CSS file sometimes and other
times it directly saves to the CSS file.
Does anyone have any ideas? How to get it to always just save
to the file?
thanks

avibodha,
Ah! Thanks for the additional details. I see what is causing
this behavior.
When a document is opened, DW determines what the Related
Files are, so
it can show the list of buttons for each one. But, for the
sake of
performance, we do not actually load the files until you
click on a
button to view a file. Note that the file may already be
loaded as a
top-level document or as a Related File of some other
document.
Since you have the "Open CSS files when modified" setting
turned off,
then the CSS gets automatically saved to disk *if* the file
has not yet
been loaded. Once the file has been loaded, then DW will not
automatically save it (to avoid writing something on disk
that you don't
want written).
So, you'll need to disable the Related Files feature to have
DW always
automatically save the CSS to disk.
HTH,
Randy

Load Fail of SWF file in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi,
Could you tell me what I am missing in my files?????
I am missing my Top Banner and the .swf file in Dreamweaver? I can see it in the source files but that's it.
I have supporting files from my Flash-Slideshow-Maker, but can only see my flashshow if I embed the file from SkyAlbum.com (Album# 247097) which is very slow to load.
Have I not loaded all the files for it or something?

How to set character encoding to Greek in a javascript file in Dreamweaver CS4?

I have a javascript file built with a text editor some time
ago, which has Greek characters in one of the variables:
1.) --> var
scrollercontent='</font><br><font face="Verdana"
color="#333333" size="-1">11-04-2008:
<b>ΜΑΝΩΛΗΣ
ΜΗΤΣΙΑΣ
</b><br><img SRC="mitsias2.gif" height=148 width=104
border="0" /><p></font>' <--
In DW CS4 it displays as
2.) --> var
scrollercontent='</font><br><font face="Verdana"
color="#333333" size="-1">11-04-2008: <b>???O??S ???S??S
</b><br><img SRC="mitsias2.gif" height=148 width=104
border="0" /><p></font>' <--
When trying to save the corrected content in 1.) I get an
error message that DW cannot save the Greek characters. I am asked
to change the character encoding.
I don't know how to change the character encoding in a js
file. Is there a "head" file like in HTML? Or how does one
determine the character encoding in a js file?
When I change the encoding in the prefereces, which is
"Western" to "Greek" or "UTF", I have the same result.
Thanks for help.
jml

The .js file and the html need to have the same encoding. If
your html uses iso-8859-7, then the .js must also use that. But if
the original text editor created the .js file using utf-8, then
that is what the html needs to use.

How to edit lasso files in Dreamweaver

I have to edit some pages with minor changes in Dreamweaver, I'm not a programer, I'm a designer and I understand html files, I can code a little bit but I mostly work on design view.
The pages that I need to edit have the extension of .lasso files and when I tried to open them in Dreamweaver I'm not getting anything in design view and very little code in code view.
How can I edit these pages? is this just a programing language? if so, do I need a programer to edit them?
Thanks

Hi,
there are several ways to open *.lasso files, respectively to change or add file extensions to Dreamweaver. Among other links look here:

How can I delete files from Dreamweaver?

I spent the day creating HTML files for a class assignment. I thought I had all the files in a folder, but they were not. I have since lost the files but not the folders. All I have left are the labels from the files. I need to delete the files and start over. How can I do that?

Create a new Site Definition in DW by going to Site > New Site.
Delete the old site folder from your hard drive with your operating system's File Manager.

Show all dependent files? Dreamweaver CS4

Is there an easy way to show folder and/or file dependencies for a site? I thought I was able to see a tree of the site in previous versions of Dreamweaver but I cannot find it now.

It's been removed - however, it didn't show dependencies, it only showed a navigation tree. You can get that same thing with something like Xenu for the PC -
