How to link flash animations in dreamweaver 8
Hey everyone i have been trying to learn dreamweaver 8, flash
8, and others in a short time. My question is,
I am trying to create a website in dreamweaver 8 but i am
having trouble making a link to another page of the site out of the
flash animation once it's done. I can't find a option for that
anywhere, I was able to link the table in which the animation sits
but it does nothing. For now i just have the word ENTER below the
animation so the rest of the site can be viewed.
here's the link to the site where the animation first page is
www.fatcatzcreative.com
I have spent days trying to figure this out and being the
typical man i have finally broken down and am askin for help.
Thanks in advance to all.
HTML cannot link Flash.
If you want links in Flash, you will have to edit the Flash
file's
actionscript and add the links there.

How was this "flash" animation done?
How was this "Flash" animation done?
http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/15812.html
There is a "flash" that goes down the sholder of a man in this Flash intro page. It is a series of jpg images. Do you know how this can be done or which program was used? I want to chage the page of it.
Thanks, SteveHi Steve,
I'm pretty sure it's done with a mask. You have the man picture layer and the border layout masked by a symbol (maybe a square or rectangle) above it.
If you want to know how to use mask in Flash, just ask Google. There is a bunch of tutorial on the web.
Hope it's a good start for you !

Get border when resizing flash anim in dreamweaver
Hello, I'm needing some help , I'm not sure weather its something i'm doing in dreamweaver or weather I need to export the flash anim with the document properties just a little bit smaller than the flash anim when exporting when in theory shouldn't have to do?
the problem I'm having is I export a flash anim out of flash I make sure the document properties and the flash anim line up so theres no visible boarder when exiting.
when I'm at the button stage and drag onto the stage to be able to export, ( sometimes I find that the flash border - say if my anim is 220 by 185 . when i click on it (dragged button with movie inside from libarary to stage)
the stage - as I am told I can't export a flash anim with an alpha white off the flash stage I have to make the stage the same size as the button -
So i make the stage size 220 by 185 when I'm dragging the button to line up to the stage I find sometimes its off?
Is there a better way to export a flash anim as it is without having to change stage properties then dragging the button to fit the stage then get url options ect.
anyways. I am finding that I am having to make the stage size (in flash ) a few extra pixels smaller than the box button 220 by 185 so what i'm doing is making the stage say 218 by 183 to then draggin the button inbetween the lines on the doccument border in flash. then exporting.
I find if i Don't do this sometimes in dreamweaver, when I open dreamweaver instert app div then import swf into the app dif then resize the swf I get a boarder.
But even then I find sometimes if i do an app div then insert media swf and resize the swf i get a border, say if i make the boarder properties in flash red.
sometimes I get a red boarder.
but on other pages say i have a about page I resized it its fine then on another page import app dive then impor the exact same swf file resize it it suddenly gets a boarder (i'm testing using red backround in flash when exporting as a movie.
why do sometimes I get a boarder around swf in an app div when importing into dreamweaver.
thanks kindlyI read this twice and still don't quite know what you're asking. Flash questions are best posted in the Flash forum.
Animations used in Web pages should be sized appropriately before you bring them into Dreamweaver. Same goes for static images. If you need a 200px wide banner, design it at 200px wide.
As for APDivs, honestly don't know why you would need one. A regular CSS division (no positioning) is all that's required for 98% of layouts. http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
For answers to layout questions, we need a link to your test page.

Place fixed flash animation in Dreamweaver
Hi All,
I am a complete beginner with Dreamweaver, and having great
problems fixing the size of a flash animation I'm playing as an
intro. I have managed to get the animation in and it centred, but
when I tested it on another computer I noticed it had stretched and
for some reason it was possible to minimise the animation by using
the + and - signs whilst in the browser window. How can I prevent
this from happening, so no matter what machine you view from it
keeps the size and position the same.
Any advice will be much appreciated.Hi
You will have to place your code for the flash file inside the code for the picture frame. If you have used the picture frame as a background image then position your flash file using a combination of css rules as required.
Another way (if you have flash pro), is to use the picture frame as a skin for your flash file.

Adding Flash animation to dreamweaver
Hi,
I've created a Flash animation as the first thing to show on
my webpage in the index page. And it takes the whole screen. And it
contains links in the flash animation. How can I link the links in
Flash to the pages in dw?
Thanks a lot!
EstherHow can someone that doesn't have Flash installed use your
site?
You would have to use Flash to put those links on the page.
HTML cannot add
links to a Flash element.

Centre flash animation into dreamweaver

Any advice will be much appreciated.You'll probably need to spend time learning how to create things in Flash--maybe try lynda.com. Flash can be used for the animation and mouse interaction revealing text. Once you are able to create the animation in Flash, you can have Flash publish both the swf file, which is what goes into the web page, and an html file. You can copy the code from the Flash html file into the Dreamweaver file wherever you intend the Flash file to be inserted.

(Web Logic 6.1.4)
On my WL server in "web.xml" configuration file of my web-application I have
correctly defined the MIME-type for shockwave flash animations and I can see
it if I open it directly (direct link on .SWF file). But I'd like to have
the classic and proper approach showing SWF file inside HTM file using
OBJECT/EMBED tags. I created HTM file with OBJECT/EMBED tags and I can see
my flash animation in it if I run this page directly by IE but if I put this
HTM file on server and try to see it served by WL server it does not work!
How to solve this issue?
Stjepan BrbotWell thanks Ned, I do apologize for the shortness of the post, i was in a bit of a rush. I also assumed this would be easy to infer as its quite simple.
The flash animation can be seen here - http://www.blakecorp.com. it shows three blocks which move around a bit.
The user should be able to click on a block and this should lead to a url.
I have tried various geturl combos on various events all over the code and nothing works.
I am not a flash guru so apologies if I cant give you a design of this as I did not write it.
I think the problem is that the images etc are not buttons but I am struggling to find a way to make this work.
This is probably 10 minutes work for a flash programmer
Any help appreciated.

How to use Flash Skin in Dreamweaver 8
Hi,
I'd like to use a Flash Video Skin
(SteelExternalPlaySeekMute) that came with Flash 8, in Dreamweave.
I copied the skin file (SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf) into
Dreamweaver's Configuration>Templates>Video_Control folder,
but although I see the skin in Dreamweave's popup skin menu, I
doesnt function correctly.
I assume I need to be doing somethign with the .fla file
(SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.fla), but I cant figure out where to put
that in Dreamweaver.
Any suggestions on how to get my video to work with this skin
would be appreciated.
thank you....bump...
would really appreciate it if someone could help me out
here....
thank you. -
How to Prevent Flash Animation Playing?
I have a flash animation that plays automatically when the user lands on the homepage of my site. It's part of the header, so it's present on every subsequent page of the site as well. However, I would like it to NOT play on the other pages. It should be visible, but only display the first frame or so of the animation, rather than playing automatically on every page.
How do I stipulate that in the code? Is there a line I can add somewhere?
Thanks for any help.the easiest thing to do, is to create two different swfs. one for the home page (that you've already made) and one for the other pages which will be the same as the one you have now except you want to add a stop() to the swf's first frame.

How to link flash output files (mac based) to Amazon S3
I have an Amazon S3 with cloud front set up. I also have a Wordpress site using Optimize Press. I want to link these two so my training programs are presented professionally and protected. I know how to link but here is the problem. When I open the link to the flash file once I upload the folder to Amazon I get an error for all of the flv video files. Text and voice segments run fine but video causes error message and doesnt load. Anyone know how to post these so it will work? Can it work?
Actually its Captivate 5.5.
1. I published using flash as choice.
2. Created subfolder in S3 to host all the files
3. Uploaded the files
4. Currently setting up distribution in management counsole so I can connect to JW Player
5. Just installed JW Player in my WP/OP site.
6. Still working through rest of steps.....
I wanted to see if the file would play before I went through all these steps so I double clicked on the flash file in the folder. Everything ran (albiet incorrect size of 640x480) except for my flv files. they show error. Im hoping all these steps Im going through will fix this. I will check out the link you provided thanks. -
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 loop a flash animation in Dreamweaver?
I have a simple animation I have converted to .flv. Load on a page in CS5, checked Auto Play and Auto Rewind, but I want the animation to loop.
It plays when the page opens, but won't loop.

Any suggestions?
Thank you.Hi
This feature must also be enabled in the swf file using actionscript, simply setting the parameters in dreamweaver does not work.

Flash animation into dreamweaver
hey everyone, i'm new at both flash and dreamweaver and currently have a project combining the two together and i really cant work it out (i'm even using html instead of css haha) :/
Anyway, what i want to do is have a zipper (as in a zipper on ones clothes) on my main page and when someone puts their mouse over the zip, it zips down and reveals the text for that page.
I have gone into photoshop and started editing a zipper at different stages of being pulled down, but am stuck as to how i'd
a) link it together on flash/what type of file to save it as?
b) put the actual code into dreamweaver
c) have it actually working functionally to reveal my text underneath.
thanks in advance for any help, i'd be very appreciative of anyone who could give me some adviceYou'll probably need to spend time learning how to create things in Flash--maybe try lynda.com.

How to use Flash animation as overlay?
I am trying to make a kaleidoscope appear in an overlay when
the user clicks on a model in my 3D world. The kaleidoscope is an
animation I created in Flash. Everything works except that the
Flash movie, "egg_1" in the code below, is static rather than
rotating as it should. This is the code I've tried:
on mouseUp me
clickLocation = the mouseLoc -
point(sprite(me.spriteNum).left, sprite(me.spriteNum).top)
clickedModel =
sprite(me.spriteNum).camera.modelUnderLoc(clickLocation)
case clickedModel of
wallModel:
kaleidoscope1 = gWorld.newTexture("kaleidoscope1",
#fromCastMember, member("egg_1"))
gWorld.camera[2].addOverlay(kaleidoscope1, point(100,15),0)
Can anyone suggest a way to get the Flash movie to play?
Thanks in advance for your help.This sounds good to me but I'm still a little shaky about
using imaging Lingo so It'll take me a bit more time to check it
out properly. Thank you for providing me with a direction to go in.
I did check out MIAWs in the meantime as an alternative way
to do what I wanted and got that to work. Is there any major
advantage to overlays versus MIAWs in this kind of use? Offhand it
seems as if MIAWs can 'talk' to the main movie more readily. -
Hello,
I would like resize an animation (an complex scene ) 600* 300
pixels to 1200*300 pixels. Why ? I would like import thos to a web
page with frontpage 2003. Thanks for your help !!!
I use flash pro 8Use swfobject for Flash detection. It also allows for "alternate content" which could be your image, as well as descriptive text.
