Import Fireworks slideshow to Dreamweaver page

Hi,
I created a photo gallery (slideshow) in Fireworks CS4 and everything is working smoothly. Now I want to add this slideshow to my Dreamweaver page BUT I am new to this and I don't know how to include it.
I noticed that depending on the type of fireworks player it creates different files (html, swf). I used the FW slideshow template: Player - Black (Flash Plug In not required) and it created an index.html file.
How can I add the index.html page to my website template? I want for it to show after my navigation bar etc.. I don't want it in a seperate file but include it to my PhotoGallery.html page.
I also tried different players and I can't get for it to load. SWF files do not play when i check it in LiveView.
If someone can help me with this I would appreciate it. I have been struggling for a day now and I can't get it to work with any type of player.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply. I did try the copy and pasting before contacting this forum and it doesn't work.
I would appreciate if someone had a tutorial on this and thanks for asking someone to post this.
I'm new to the Adobe world and I'm liking it! There are so many features in the software that I just want to make sure that I learn the proper way to incorporate the 'objects'.
In the mean time what I have done is created an iframe.
<iframe src="otherpage.html"/>
This is working for now but I'm sure there is a better way!!

Have you reviewed the Fireworks help files on the subject?
In a nutshell:
Export the slideshow to a specific folder (your site's
local root
folder or a sub folder within it.
From there, you can access the generated html page(s) from
within
Dreamweaver.
If this is not the issue, you will need to be more specific
on the
problems you are experiencing.

How to add fireworks slideshow to dreamweaver cs4?

I have created a slideshow in fireworks and saved it to my root directory and linked it to a div within a webpage on www.yssinc.net. The gallery appears but without any of the images. Help! I have seen other posts with this problem but have not seen a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Sharon

So a plain html page, not a child page of the template?
From your original post you say that you get a 'template error message'.
Are you trying to insert it into an editable region declared in the master template? You can't try and place code into a child page, if it hasn't been prepared to take any code unless it's into a defined editable area.
If it's a navbar of some sort, it should go into the master template page, so that it can be shared across all the pages created form the template.
If I'm way off base - sorry :-)
You may want to upload the pages you are having problems with a provide a link... better to see the code in action if at all possible.

Integration of a Fireworks CS4 Generated Slideshow Into Dreamweaver CS4

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I am no dreamweaver expert so I came to you guys for help.
I'm making a layout in photoshop that is going to be exported to dreamweaver. The thing is I want a flash slideshow to be integrated into the layout. But in a way that its is partially covered with a Layer.
You will understand if you see the image below.
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=4...75f6 e8ebb871
I want it to be in the top right corner. I think I can make the flash slideshow no prob, but how to get it there I have no idea.
I thought maybe I could add a layer in Fireworks for the section covering the slideshow (I dont know if thats possible) and then leave the space in photoshop blank. Then I could maybe import the slideshow to dreamweaver. Can I do that? and how? or is there a simpler way?
(BTW I am slicing the Photoshop layout to export)
I hope I made some sense.
Thanks in advance.

Hello again Pziecina, just wanted to say a very quick thank you. I think I can get the slideshow to work if I remake parts of my site, but I have 5 assignments on the go and thats not really feasible right now, but what really interested me was the links you posted yesterday regarding CSS. As mentioned I have 5 live assignments and have been spending my mornings/afternoons/evenings whittling them down, and when I posted here yesterday I was a little worn out, and my focus was not what it could, or should be. But late last night I took an hours break and had a proper look at the CSS tutorials you posted, and would like to say a very big THANKYOU, although its a bit off topic, I was a little apprehensive of CSS, but one hour into the first tutorial and Im hooked, thats not to say Im anywhere near proficient, but really enjoyed myself following the tutorial, (even though it was at the expense of assignment time ), so, very glad I came here with my slideshow problem, and thanks again

Import fireworks cs3 slideshow into Dreamweaver 8

Hello, Im trying to get a slideshow created in Fireworks cs3 to work in Dreamweaver 8. I cant seem to get the html file it generates to slot into a Dreamweaver page. When I double click on the slideshow html file in Dreamweaver it opens a page that looks as though nothing is on it, just a lot of shading and a missing image, but tappin F12 to view in browser shows the slideshow works, but how do I get it into a page in Dreamweaver? Thanks in advance

How do I insert Fireworks Slideshow (non flash) into Dreamweaver?

I have been trying to import a slideshow from flash that I created from the built in template. I used the player that does not require a flash plug in and I cannot figure out how to insert it into my webpage in Dreamweaver. When I post the code directly it says that I have to enable java script? I am new to dreamweaver/fireworks and coding. I know that it should be simple, but I have not been able to figure it out. Thank you for any help you can offer!

I don't use that function, but here's a list of articles that may prove useful:
http://community.adobe.com/help/search.html?q=creating+a+slideshow+in+dreamweaver&lbl=drea mweaver_product_adobelr&self=1&hl=en_US&lr=en_US&area=0
You could also look at using jquery, very simple to use and help docs come with most of the apps.
Lots of goodies here:

Importing Fireworks CC html into Dreamweaver CC

Hi guys. Hope you can assist.
I have never encountered this problem before. I have always used Fireworks to "cut up" my flat designs from Photoshop, export it as html (nav bars, footers, etc) and then I simply import it into a Dreamweaver html page in which I have created a table.
Now I suddenly have an issue where the Fireworks html table is broken once I import it into Dreamweaver - viewed by itself it's perfect - even in Dreamweaver its perfect. It also adds a space underneath the FW html/table.
Only when I view it in a browser does it appear messed up.
What is causing this?
Thanks in advance.

That looks like it could be the browser default text descender padding from the html5 doctype, and/or the IE linked image border.
Add the following to your css...
img {
display:block;
a img {
border:none;

I'm getting an error message after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse.

I'm getting a couple of messages after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse. I have compared the code of the page with the table with the page before I inserted the table and cannot find anything missing. the web address is http://gourmetdreams.com/weekly-menu.html
How can I clear this up?
I also noticed that when I uploaded the file there was one error: "- error occurred - Access denied. The file may not exist locally, may be open in another program, or there could be a local permission problem."

Thanks for your help! I imported the table into Muse, then exported the site as html and opened it in Dreamweaver. I should've tried that in the first place but gave up when I couldn't edit it in Muse. I didn't know you could edit the html right in Muse. Also, my styling and the images I was using weren't showing up in Muse but once I opened it in Dreamweaver, everything fell into place. AND I could edit it! My client needs to edit this page every week, so I needed to be sure she could do that. She doesn't use Muse but does use Dreamweaver. At this point, I think I'll leave it alone and not try to style it with inline css. Maybe when I get a little more time, I'll try it. I just don't want to mess things up now that the're working.

Fireworks edit in Dreamweaver pouting and refusing to update.

Again, I'm new to Fireworks...let me know if I'm totally off
base here. Before I start, I'm using Fireworks CS3 and Dreamweaver
CS3 as part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium. I use an iMac
running OS 10.5.2, Leopard.
I've just finished designing a new Fireworks navigation bar
for my company's website. The HTML exports and integrates into the
existing pages just fine (so far.) I'm in the process of testing
each page with the new Fireworks HTML to see if anything goes nuts
before I take it live.
Here's where I might be delusional. I insert the HTML into a
page, then use the "edit in Fireworks" option in DW to change the
default state of one button using the "show in 'down' state on
load" option (depending on which page is currently up.) I've
noticed that although I can use the "edit in Fireworks" option to
do other things (minor spacing issues for example) with marginal
success...FW is not reflecting the "down state" changes in DW at
all. I swear I've done this before and it's worked, though!
When I'm in the midst of making these changes and "preview"
in FW, everything works as it should. However, as soon as I hit
"done", no updates are reflected in the DW page...nor are they
saved in the original FW HTML when I go back and check.
If I'm completely wrong, what would be the best way to
reflect a "down state on load" button for each page of the website?
Do I need to make the changes, re-save the files, and re-export
them?
If it helps, the test index page is:
http://www.thdelectronics.com/index_testbar.html
It shows "home" in the down state. But when I load the HTML
on the products pages and try to change the down state button to
"products"...it doesn't work.
Thanks,
~G~

Hello
I just worked through this exact same issue today so I'm glad
to help. The easy answer is that when you are exporting the html to
Dreamweaver you need to check 'Multiple Nav Bar HTML Pages' in the
'Document Specific' tab (under the options button in my Fireworks
MX).
As far as I can tell, you end up with a nav bar for each of
your links and then have to import those each to your pages which
doesn't help when using templates. I'm hoping I can find a
different answer to that one.
Here is a link to the whitepaper...

Can not set source file for Fireworks png in Dreamweaver

I recently purchased Adobe Design Premium CS5 to replace my CS3, but I have a big
problem. When I export a png in Fireworks to Dreamweaver it does not set the source
file correctly. It places the Fireworks object on the page, but when I select the table
that holds the Fireworks object, the path for the source on the Properties panel is
wrong - it says menu2.png. The correct document relative path is dress_images/menu2/menu2.png.
When I drag the Point to File icon over the menu2.png on the Files panel, it correctly displays
the full path, but when I let go of it, it sets the path back to menu2.png. I can not even type it
in the source box and get it to stay.
Here is the problem. When I click on the Edit button, it says it can't find the png. It is using
the full path from the C: drive instead of the document relative path. If I browse to the png file
and open it in Dreamweaver then click the Done button, it saves the png file but does not change
any of the content on the HTML page.
Fireworks and Dreamweaver CS3 worked perfectly here. Help!
I just tried to do this on another computer. This time when I pasted the Fireworks HTML onto the
page in Dreamweaver it set the path correctly (it was a root relative path instead of a document
relative path). I tried to edit in Fireworks using the Edit button, and it opened Fireworks without
any problem. I made some changes then clicked the Done button. Now the Done button is suppose
to be like magic. It is suppose to save the changes to the png file, make the changes on the HTML
page in Dreamweaver, and change any of the supporting files (images) that have been edited. It
always worked this way in CS3, and anything less than this would be a huge step backwards. In this
case, it saved the changes to the png, but did not make any other changes. The web page in
Dreamweaver is still the same. How do I get the Done button to work its magic using CS5.
Another problem - when I paste the code onto the page, the page looks totally messed up. If I save it
and reopen it then it looks fine. However, this never occurred with CS3. Aren't updates to software
suppose to be improvements?
Thanks.
Nathan

Yes, the web site is correctly defined in Dreamweaver. I teach web design for both high school and
adult school, and I have done this procedure 100's of times with CS3. There is something different with
CS5. I took your suggestion and imported the Fireworks HTML using Insert -> Image -> Fireworks HTML,
but it still does not work. I can edit it in Fireworks, hit the Done button, and the png file is saved but
the HTML page remains the same.
Also, the export does not get the path right, and it will not let me set the path right. The only way the path
is right is if the page that I am pasting the Fireworks HTML is in the same folder as the png. It always
sets the png's path as menu.png. Therefore, if the page is in a different folder, the document relative path
won't find it. This was never a problem with CS3. In fact, you could paste the code using Control-V and it
would work 100% of the time. That is how we always did it. When exporting from Fireworks, I would set
Export to "copy to clipboard" then move to Dreamweaver, click where I wanted the code pasted and do Control-V and presto it would
always work. You could come back a month later, select the table, click the Edit button, make changes
in Fireworks, click the Done button and the changes would be reflected on the HTML page in Dreamweaver without
doing anything more. I have tried it with "copy to clipboard" and I have tried it with "export HTML file". Neither
works. There is definitely something different between CS3 and CS5, and right now I am missing CS3.
Thanks for your help. I will keep fighting this until I get it, but any additional input would be appreciated.

Inserting fireworks html into dreamweaver css

I have been using Fireworks CS4 to design layouts and export CSS into Dreamweaver CS4, which works just fine.
I want to import a Fireworks HTML pop-up menu in my CSS based Dreamweaver page. I have used Fireworks Export HTML and Dreamweaver's insert Fireworks HTML in the past but the pop-up behaviours are lost when I import it into a template that is CSS based. I figure I'm missing something simple, as usual.
Can the two be mixed? Do I need to edit the code view and insert a DIV manually or something? Can I just link to it with css somehow?
Getting rather frustrated now!

I had a lengthy reply written for this but lost it when I was logged out - seems the forum has a bit of a problem at the moment (at least for me !).
I'm not up to re-writing it all again, but in essence, I agree totally with Nancy, do not use html generated by Fireworks or any graphics program for that matter. If you were to ask the same question over at the FWs forum, you would be told the same thing, exporting HTML and CSS is ok for protypes, but not for live production sites.
TAKING FIREWORKS COMP TO DREAMWEAVER:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html
The rule of thumb is to design the layout in FWs but build the site in Dreamweaver. The Spry menus are much better than the old popup menus, but the customisation of them does depend on your knowledge of CSS.
Customizing a Spry Menu:
http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/customize1.php
There are many websites that show how to use CSS to create nicely styled menus, including Dropdowns and I'm sure with a lot less code bloat :-)

Embeding fireworks slideshow

I am able to create a fireworks slideshow and view it fine
via the index html page and also when I open the flash player from
the slideshow file in adobe flash but when using the insert flash
command in dreamweaver the player displays but no photos.
Images work fine in the dreamweaver slideshow application but
i want the flexibility of the fireworks show.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Yes but, although all the thumbs are there only one, the
second is showing the main image.
Yes, so there is obviously something different
about the Manufacturing album, and something different about the
second image. What?

I would have thought that would have provided you with enough
info to pin point the problem though?
Well, no. I can't see your code; I can't see
your file structure; I can't tell what going on. I don't know why
the one that works does, nor why the rest don't. I don't use the
slideshow, so I'm not familiar with it. I do know that if you
reference a file by the wrong name, it won't show on a Web page.
That's a common symptom, so I'm hypothesizing that your problem is
file naming. It may be something else. But until you can post the
folder and file names like I asked, I don't have the info I need to
tell.

I managed to get it to work ok here

Uh huh. And your album names don't have spaces
in them and it looks like you have image names below the large
images when they display and they all have single character
strings, too? No spaces and the slideshow works?
I still think the problem may be that you have some spaces
someplace. Look at your folder and file names carefully to make
sure you have no spaces in them. Rebuild your slide show from
scratch. Delete all the slide show files and folders off your
server, then upload the new ones.

Please help! I am having issues with correct placement of slideshow in Dreamweaver CS5.5?

Hello, I am using Easyrotator for a slideshow in Dreamweaver. I am under the gun as I just had a death in the family, so I had to take a lot of time off. The slideshow works fine, but not together in Dreamweaver CS.5. I want to insert it underneath my title which is the name and photo of the company, but above the rest of the pages content. I have tried several frustrating attempts and to no avail. I am a designer and have really no experience with coding. I can put up what I have if that makes it easier. Thank you so much!

Hi
We need to see ALL your code to solve your issue quickly and accurately without a lot of guessing and questions back-and-forth.
Just rename a copy of your problem page (such as "test.html") and upload it to your server, in whatever folder the original page was located, and simply post a link in the Forum and tell us your problem.
This saves you having to cut and paste miles of code into the Forum for the page and all the dependent CSS, JS etc. files.and saves us from having to recreate all your files, find your images and then repair your code and test the solution for you.
I trust this is helpful.

Slideshow in Dreamweaver CS3

I am trying to create a slideshow of images for a client's
home page. (Would like to avoid using Flash.) I am fairly new to
web programming, but have basic knowledge. I have created a
slideshow using "Insert", "Media" and "Image Viewer" from the
Dreamweaver menu bar. (I learned this through the help of the
tutorial found here:
http://revver.com/video/652023/dreamweaver-tutorials-create-a-slideshow-using-dreamweaver/ )
This seems to have worked, however, I have a white background
that I can't seem to figure out. (I have played with the "Flash
Elements" in the sidebar...)
I also received an Adobe Flash Player Security message that
says something like:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe
operation... slideshow.swf is trying to communicate with this
internet-enabled location: macromedia.com"
I'm not quite sure where to go from here... Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks!

Hi
I like many others here advocate and use
http://www.projectseven.com/
all
sorts. Really worth looking at the site for menus, slide
shows and
templates. Might not be the cheapest in the world but all
thier products
work and the backup is as good as on this forum.
As for the slide show take a look at

Slideshow using dreamweaver CS6

Have received advice here and created a slideshow using jQuery Cycle2. Loaded own images and working fine on a dreamweaver blank page.
When I load onto a fill page as a banner heading the slideshow reverts to 3 or 4 separate images. Any ideas please?

Sorry. Should have come back earlier. Any chance you could look at code in
these two attachments and tell me why the' letters for baneer ' works and
yet the identical (as far as I can see) 'using find' doesn't go through any
transition. I think I have followed the three points made below.
Thanks and apologies,
