How to incorporate swf flash files into dreamweaver

Hi,
In my index.html I have a table with some flash buttons and
movies in.
I have linked directly to the swf, and when previewed it
works fine. When I upload it to my host server the html page
appears blank with no flash movies.
So do I have to point to the flash html file? insead of
directl to the swf?
Thanks

It's not OK. It won't work at all.

Embedding an SWF Flash Navigation into Dreamweaver

My website http://www.theboxinghistorian.com/ has already been created and has a lot of files, at the moment whenever i make a change to my spry navigation i do it through the template which automatically updates every page.
Now I was looking to remove the spry navigation and to add a flash SWF File as my navigation, however I am relatively new to this and was wondering if adding such a file as my navigation is a simple case of updating the change through the template and once again every page through the Webstite would be updated. Or would there be more complex issues i would need to Iron out as im using flash in dreamweaver.........

My advice would be to forget about using Flash for navigation and stick with your Spry menu for now - but make it more efficient (see below).
There are no upsides and too many downsides to Flash navigation including relying on the Flash plugin being available on your vfisitors computer (what do they do if Flash is not available for them?), search engines struggle with Flash without some clever coding by you (why bother?) and maintaining the navbar is a major pain (have to recreate the Flash file every time).
The navigation you're currently using looks OK but I suggest implementing it as a Server Side Include instead of propagating it through your Template every time.
Whilst the Template approach works, the major downside is that you have to upload every page of your website every time you change the Template. That gets old, fast.
If you convert just the HTML part of your navigation (the ul structure) to a single tiny external text file (an Include) which the server then Includes in the page dynamically every time, you have minimal work to do to update your navigation bar whenever you wish. Just update the tiny text file (e.g. add/delete/move an <li> in the code), upload it to the server and your entire site is instantly up-to-date.
Adding your navbar to the page as a Server Side Include transforms maintenance from a lengthy mundane chore to a pleasure.

How to properly get folders, files into Dreamweaver Defined Site Folder from desktop

I, obviously am a new Dreamweaver user, and I need to know
the proper way of going about getting a folder, files, ect. from my
hard drive into my Dreamweaver defined site folder. I understand
how to insert an image from my hard drive into DW and it shows up
in my site folder in the Files Panel. More specifically, using
Lightbox2, after downloading Lightbox and placing those elements in
a new folder on my hard drive, what is the proper way to get that
folder into my site folder?
Also, how can I properly add images to an images folder in my
site folder in DW for possible later use, without inserting them on
the page. I know by inserting them on the page from a folder on my
hard drive, Dreamweaver prompts me for DW to recognize them. I
would like to know how I can get them in there and DW to recognize
them without actually inserting them on my page.
And can and how can I move files, images, pages from one site
to another? or should I? Thanks, if anyone can help me with these
file moving questions.

To restate courtney's explanation, *anything* that you paste
into the site's
local root folder will appear in DW's File panel, and will be
considered by
DW to be a part of the site.

Importing Flash Catalyst file into Dreamweaver

Is it possible to import or use a swf file created in Flash Cataylst into Dreamweaver?
stevent2011

Yes, Flash Catalyst content can be used in Dreamweaver. However, the version of swfObject might be out of date. You might need to look at the object code in the html. When you publish from Flash Catalyst, there is also a main.html file that you can use a reference for the html.

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.

How to control adobe flash files with sliders and buttons

Hi,
I am trying to make a front panel for a vehicle completely designed in flash, and control it through labview. I can load a flash file into an activex container successfully. I have followed this thread here http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=351719 and gotten everything working.
But my question is, how can I send data to the flash file from labview? Some examples of things I need to do: Interpret a CAN signal and have some text appear on the screen, Make buttons flash, etc.
I understand how to load the swf, Im just not sure how to communicate with it. One thing to mention is that the front panel for the vehicle will be fully custom coded. However in the meantime, I am trying to figure out how to control it from labview. Like if there is a clock.swf out on the net, how can I change the time from labview? Is there a way to see what parameters are available for changing?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
What specific Active X framework are you using to embed the container? The thread you referenced mentions Shockwave's Active X API, does this set of Active X functions expose methods for object control?
Could you elaborate as to the driver behind a fully Flash based front panel embedded within LabVIEW? Is this application inevitably going to be deployed as thin client software?
For interaction with custom flash applications aside from Active X, LabVIEW has an integrated Web Services feature to allow data transfer from custom thin client applications to the LabVIEW environment for processing and instrument control. A detailed discussion of the Web Services feature may be found via the links below:

Please post back any further questions, or information on the system design.

Running a .swf (Flash file) in JMF

Hi,
In my application i have to run .swf(Flash file) file. I have to do it using Java API. Can i do it using JMF.If so, how to do it. Is there any other API available to run .swf files in java.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I don't know as much as most users here, but I have put up
about 18 different photo galleries on my DW site (almost ready to
be published).
I had to go into each code page where I wanted the gallery to
appear and paste the swf etc code. And it had to be pasted into the
code page not the design page.
Now, when I click a link to the specific page and look at it
in the design view, all I see is a large grey object. I can go into
the page properties and look at it that way, but I usually just
view it in my browzers. This Flash album is designed to work in the
browzer, not actually on the DW design page unless I specifically
click something.
This may not help you, as I said, this is my first site and
photo album dealings.
Good Luck

Flash Catalyst into Dreamweaver to make Wordpress Theme??

Is it possible to take your flash catalyst file into Dreamweaver and make it into a Wordpress Theme?

No. Please read the Wordpress pages on how to create and modify themes. None of that has anything to do with just opening a file of whatever type in DW nor FC.

Need help importing files into Dreamweaver CS5.5

Greetings,
Currently I have website that is hosted on GoDaddy.com http://www.4thdist.org/home.php . This site was created by another person that is not available to help with my problem. I am attempting to modify or edit this website using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and having difficulties loading the files into Dreamweaver.
First, using Filezilla I downloaded all the files and folders to my PC. At this point, I am stuck and cannot figure out how to upload or open the files and really need some advice. I read the Adobe help section on "importing" and it describes a .ste file. I searched the download folder and cannot find any file (*.ste)
I am hoping to salvage the site and not have to reinvent the wheel and start over. Any advice would be extrmely helpful........Gary

Thanks for the quick reply.
Your comments raised some new questions. Let me update all on where I am. First, I am able to connect to GoDaddy server via the the local and remote views in the bottom right corner of DW. I see the file folder structure on GoDaddy. I can also see the file structure on my local hardrive that I copied using filezilla. Although, using the server connection I notice that I can download the files using this connection now. Should I delete what I did via filezilla and start over using the romote server connection? One more problem. I have content for two (2) websites on the remote server. http://www.vfwstatepoolleague.org/ This is in addition to the listed in my original post. Although, it appears the other website content is in a seperate folder. I assume that I will need to separtate this content somehow. At least link to it when I begin to start to create a .ste file for each site.
I started to read the article "Creating your first website"in your post and should be very helpful. I did run into a little road block.
I created (2) site names and linked to the appropriate folder on my hard drive. Although, I do not have: "check_cs5" folder on my local or remote folder. What does that mean? Should I create one?

Help please copying, importing files into Dreamweaver

Hello,
I am having trouble imporitng files into dreamweaver from Godady. What is my best route.
I downloaded Filezilla and connect my ISP, Hosting and passwords and successfuly my files loaded to filezilla.
I am perplexed at the next step as to how to get my files from FileZilla to Dreamweaver.
I am connected with the hosting, isp and file server as it shows in the box on the right.
I simply at the end of the day just want to make a few edits to content.

You can create a site in DW and download all the files using the "Get" action...
In DW go to Site > New Site
Give it a name (and an http address if you want)
When it asks "Where on your computer do you want to store your files? you can use the default folder it creates, or browse to a specific place
Next enter in all of your FTP info (like Filezilla)
Once you're finished, you should be presented with a FILES tab that shows your new empty folder.
Click the little extension cord plug-in icon on the left of that palette. This will connect to your site. Once connected, you can click the "Get" button, it's the down arrow in the same pallette.
This will download your entire site to your desktop as it currently exists. From here on out, you just modify your local file, then connect and "Put" the changed files.

How do I look up how to put Cafe townsend tutorial into dreamweaver

How do I ask how to put Cafe Townsend Tutorial into dreamweaver. I have a mac. The tutorial notes say follow this line
(Mac OS X) Macintosh HD/Users/your_user_name/Documents/local_site. I don't understand what each section means. If someone called explain it that would be great as I ended up with an empty folder in dreamweaver with the name 'Cafe Townsend' on it. Thank you

Right. It's an empty local site folder until you put something into it.
Go to step 2. Download and unzip the Check_Magazine.Zip files
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/check_magazine.zip
Go to step 3. Copy the check_magazine folder into your local_sites folder (Cafe Townsend).

How to Edit a flash file

Hi all,
I have a flash file, which I took from my website and want to
modify some of the contents and links in the flash file. I
installed "Macromedia Flash 8" and open the flash file; after
opening all I can see in the menu bar of my flash is "File, View,
Debug and Control" and could not find any control or tool to edit
the file and surprisingly rest of the other macromedia toolbar
icons are disabled. I need to know from where to start - How to
modify my flash file.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I do not know what files you have, 'fraid I cannot answer

My Friend
I think you need to check out some of the books, online
tutorials, course etc pertaining to Flash. Build up your knowledge
a little at a time and you will surprise yourself at what you can
achieve, you would also probaby build your own web apps and not
rely on templates.
There are many good folk on here that would help you with
your projects - go out and explore it - it's exciting - good luck

How to insert a image file into oracle database

hi all
can anyone guide me how to insert a image file into oracle database now
i have created table using
create table imagestore(image blob);
but when inserting i totally lost don't know what to do how to write query to insert image file

Hi I don't have time to explain really, I did have to do this a while ago though so I will post a code snippet. This is using the commons file upload framework.
Firstly you need a multi part form data (if you are using a web page). If you are not using a web page ignore this bit.
out.println("<form name=\"imgFrm\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"FileUploadServlet?thisPageAction=reloaded\" onSubmit=\"return submitForm();\"><input type=\"FILE\" name=\"imgSource\" size='60' class='smalltext' onKeyPress='return stopUserInput();' onKeyUp='stopUserInput();' onKeyDown='stopUserInput();' onMouseDown='noMouseDown(event);'>");
out.println("   <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit' class='smalltext'>");
out.println("</form>"); Import this once you have the jar file:
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;Now a method I wrote to upload the file. I am not saying that this is correct, or its the best way to do this. I am just saying it works for me.
private boolean uploadFile(HttpServletRequest request, HttpSession session) throws Exception {
        boolean result = true;
        String fileName = null;
        byte fileData[] = null;
        String fileUploadError = null;
        String imageType = "";
        String error = "";
        DiskFileUpload fb = new DiskFileUpload();
        List fileItems = fb.parseRequest(request);
        Iterator it = fileItems.iterator();
        while(it.hasNext()){
            FileItem fileItem = (FileItem)it.next();
            if (!fileItem.isFormField()) {
                fileName = fileItem.getName();
                fileData = fileItem.get();
                // Get the imageType from the filename extension
                if (fileName != null) {
                    int dotPos = fileName.indexOf('.');
                    if (dotPos >= 0 && dotPos != fileName.length()-1) {
                        imageType = fileName.substring(dotPos+1).toLowerCase();
                        if (imageType.equals("jpg")) {
                            imageType = "jpeg";
        String filePath = request.getParameter("FILE_PATH");
        session.setAttribute("filePath", filePath);
        session.setAttribute("fileData", fileData);
        session.setAttribute("fileName", fileName);
        session.setAttribute("imageType", imageType);
        return result;
     } And now finally the method to actually write the file to the database:
private int writeImageFile(byte[] fileData, String fileName, String imageType, String mode, Integer signatureIDIn, HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
        //If the previous code found a file that can be uploaded then
        //save it into the database via a pstmt
        String sql = "";
        UtilDBquery udbq = getUser(request).connectToDatabase();
        Connection con = null;
        int signatureID = 0;
        PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
        try {
            udbq.setUsePreparedStatements(true);
            con = udbq.getPooledConnection();
            con.setAutoCommit(false);
            if((!mode.equals("U")) || (mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn == 0)) {
                sql = "SELECT SEQ_SIGNATURE_ID.nextval FROM DUAL";
                pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
                while(rs.next()) {
                   signatureID = rs.getInt(1);
                if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {
                    sql = "INSERT INTO T_SIGNATURE (SIGNATURE_ID, SIGNATURE) values (?,?)";
                    InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
                    pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                    pstmt.setInt(1, signatureID);
                    pstmt.setBinaryStream(2, is2, (int)(fileData.length));
                    pstmt.executeUpdate();
                    pstmt.close();
                    con.commit();
                    con = null;
            if(mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn != 0) {
                signatureID = signatureIDIn.intValue();
                if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {
                    sql = "UPDATE T_SIGNATURE SET SIGNATURE = ? WHERE SIGNATURE_ID = ?";
                    InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
                    pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                    pstmt.setBinaryStream(1, is2, (int)(fileData.length));
                    pstmt.setInt(2, signatureID);
                    pstmt.executeUpdate();
                    pstmt.close();
                    con.commit();
                    con = null;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            con = null;
            throw new Exception(e.toString());
        return signatureID;
   }
