Importing a flash site in Dreamweaver

Hello; Can someone tell me how I can import a site,made in Flash,in Dreamweaver??It's for appyling serverbehaviours and all the other stuff you need to make the site dynamic. When I import the swf,html or fla file in Dreamweaver,I am getting the flash placeholder(of course) whitch is of no use. In Dreanweaver it isn't possible to make such great designs like in Flash,so therefore I was thinking:why not make the design in Flash and than export it to Dreamweaver. Is there anyone who has the answer?? many thanks!

Hi
With javascript and (a good knowledge of javascript), css and other plug-ins, it is now possible to create any flash based page in dreamweaver with the same look and feel. But unlike flash most of these techniques are not well documented except on various developers blogs, and even then many tutorials are no use to a beginner/intermediate as they require a knowledge of the language/techniques used.
As for rounded corners, script text, animation / behaviors, they are all possible in dreamweaver. But the simple fact you mentioned using AP divs, says you probably do not know enough of html/css/javascript/svg/vml, (the list could continue) to implement them.
I am not criticizing you, (it may sound so, but it is not meant so) as many web designers/developers are probably of a similar opinion as yourself, and given that it is definitely much easier to implement these things in flash, well lets be honest, if you are doing this for a living, I know which I would choose unless the client was willing to pay for the extra time required in dreamweaver, (yes, use Flash).
To create an html page for your flash movie, use the html publish settings in flash, it is much easier than importing the movie into dreamweaver.

Import Business Catalyst site into Dreamweaver {subject edited by moderator}

I created a website using Dreamweaver CC. I added business catalyst extension and want to use its feature for the site I created within Dreamweaver. However, every time I tried to open up the business catalyst section, it wants me to create a new trial site. How do I skip this step and integrate what I already created using Dreamweaver CC? I don't want to have a trial site. I want to use what I already created using Dreamweaver CC with the business catalyst extension. Help!!!!

I'm afraid that's how Business Catalyst works. You can't just upload any site to BC servers. You must first create a BC account, create a BC site template, edit your template, activate BC modules, etc... If all you want is to host your DW site without rebuilding it with BC, I suggest you look for commercial web hosting someplace else.

Import complete Flash site into swf in mini format

Hi,
I am trying to get a smaller size of a complete web site to
run in a swf file on my web site.
You can see what I am thinking at gggraphic.com/new under
product and web design. I want the inserted web sites to be live.
The script below works fine if the imported site lives in one
single swf. But most of
my sites run from a master swf that imports other swf's. The
master will import in the specified size. But all following swf
files will import in their full size. Is there some universal code
that will make all files that are imported into the
container movie clip adjust to the new size?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks on before hand.
Sincerely
ggaarde

sorry about that. from what I know it shoots in mpeg-2, but when you go onto the camera disk image the files are named .mod
they can be imported into imovie 08, as .mov (but when I click "get info" it still says that they are mpeg-2 and that they are compressed -- which *****)
its also 16:9, standard definition. That's all I really know. What I ended up doing what I converted all the clips to DV with mpeg stream clip so I wouldn't have to render the video in fce. I did have to render the audio for some reason though.
another quick question. If I have a lot of clips in the bin for final cut will it slow it down? I have about 70 and it seems to be the cause for "dropped frames" or whatever that dialogue box says.
thanks again.

How do I import my GoLove sites into Dreamweaver CC?

Hello

There's nothing much to import. Simply Define a site in DW by going to Site > New Site. Tell DW where on your hard drive to find your GoLive Site files. See screenshot.
Given that GL generated code that doesn't meet current web standards and used proprietary stuff that isn't supported in DW, you will have to clean things up quite a bit and find replacements for any automated features or extensions you may have used in your GL site.
Most people find it's cleaner in the long run to just rebuild their site in DW. Start with a new layout -- New > Blank page > HTML. Select a layout from the 3rd panel & hit CREATE. SaveAs index.html. Repeat for other site pages.
Then it's just a matter of copying & pasting old content into your new site layout.
Good luck!

Importing iWeb site to dreamweaver?

Is it possible to import my iWeb site to dreamweaver? I want to do this because i find that iWeb is too simplistic and i find the options are limited. To be honest all i want to do is put the website on dreamweaver and fiddle around with the HTML code and maybe do a couple of extra things. Anyway is it possible?

Publish the site to a folder and then open the published files in Dreamweaver.

I want to make a new site in dreamweaver and host it on business cstalyst

I want to make a NEW site in Dreamweaver CC and host it on the Business Catalyst platform.But it seems the only way to use dreamweaver in business Catalyst is to import a BC template into Dreamweaver then upload it to BC. I want to create an original site and use the BC platform, is that possible? This seems like it should be simple and automatic, even encouraged. But as of now the only way to create an original site is to use Adobe Muse. Which is weird, seems like Adobe missed this one somewhere...

I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

Problem playing an imported flash template in dreamweaver cs5

hi,i just downloaded a flash template from flashmo.com and imported it to dreamweaver cs5 through Insert > media > SWF and it loaded. but the problem is, when i click the live view or play the file in the properties,nothing shows up.except some texts "loading XML data..."
all the flash templates i have downloaded face this prob. i have no idea where is the mistake.
what could be the problem?any help,plz.

From their website:
" Adobe Flash (version 8 or higher) is required to edit the
FLA file.
- Use the source codes at your own risk after downloading and
flashmo.com is
not responsible for any bugs or errors caused by
ActionScripts."
Do you own Flash? Are you familliar with action scripts? If
not, then you
probably want to start with a plain html template and learn
how to code html
and CSS. Flash sites look nice but they are not friendly for
Search Engines
or users who don't have flash player installed on their
system.
Here are some on-line tutorials to help you get started with
html and CSS

Can you let me know if its possible to import a muse site from Business catalyst in to Dreamweaver?

Can you let me know if its possible to import a muse site from Business catalyst in to Dreamweaver? I have published a site using Muse to Business catalyst but would like to use FTP in dreamweaver to administer and edit.

I think you could but you wouldn't like what you see in Design View. Why do you want to do this?

Can't import BC site into Dreamweaver

I recently downloaded a trial of Dreamweaver and the adobe business catalyst plugin. When I try to import my bc site I am asked to login with this error message:
"An account with the same email already exists in Business Catalyst. To associate the Business Catalyst account with your Adobe ID, please log in to the Business Catalyst web administration console."
After logging in to the BC admin console I still cannot import my site. Is there some trick to merging the accounts?

Hi sambrasch,
Can you check the solutions in this post Cannot "Get started" or publish a site from Dreamweaver CS6 because the account is not associated with Business Catalyst account - technote and let us know if you still need help?
Thanks,

Video is not scaling properly when importing a flv file into dreamweaver

Hi I have recently imported a flv video into dreamweaver and i have specified the width and height (including skin size) but i keep getting white margins at the bottom or the top of the video. It has nothing to do with the css because ive checked and when i change the size of the video in the html file it worked for some browers - google chrome, firefox but still had the white border on internet explorer. I dont understand why different browers are rendering a video width and height different and whats causing the white borders to be there in the first place. Can anyone help me with this?
I have spent two weeks trying to sort this out after failing to add a clickable thumbnail to play the video as the video image on the site is black which doesnt look very good. Is there any way that i can choose the thumbnail that flash player decides to feature for the video? I know you can do this with youtube videos.
website in question - www.juanajimenezflamenco.co.uk/videos.html

I just don't see any white border on the right hand videos... if the problem continues, post a screen shot of what you are seeing. Also, 250 x 199 is not a 4:3 aspect ratio... 250/4 = 62.5, 62.5x3= 187.5.... so you are off by 11 pixels or so. Correct height for a 250 wide video shot at 4:3 aspect ratio, is 188px.
Now on the left hand YouTube videos, the controls are under the video, not over the top of the video as the right hand videos are... so the height of the <object>.... not the video itself... the <object> needs to be tall enough to hold the video and the controls (video height + controls height).
And since you are working in standard 4:3 aspect ratio video, you need to be careful to select the correct pixel shape, square or rectangle when starting any video project. Your video editing program, Premiere Elements should allow you to select between square pixels (used in computer monitors) or rectangle pixels (used in TVs). Selecting the wrong shaped pixel at the very start of the video capture process can mean distorted video once you render the project.
Because TV pixels are rectangle, slightly taller than they are wide... it doesn't take as many rectangle TV pixels to equal the same height as square computor monitor pixels. For example, when you start a video project to output to DVD (TV viewing) you would choose rectangle pixels, so a 720 x 480 video dimensions would give you the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.... for TV.... but 720 x 480 is NOT a 4:3 aspect ratio mathmatically ... 720/4=180, 180x3=540 !! So for computer monitor viewing you would select square pixels at the very start of your video capture process and capture the video at 720x540, giving you the correct video aspect ratio for viewing on monitors.
So besides setting the correct aspect ratio for the video in the <object> be sure that you started with the correct pixel shape.
This might also give you some help... or just Google "square vs rectangle pixels" for more info:

.swf imported in Flash Catalyst shows only the Flash Shockwave icon

I have scoured the FC forums and watched all of the Adobe TV episodes
on importing .swf files into Flash Catalyst but I am still faced with the following problem.
I have a basic animated .swf file that I created in Flash CS5. I am trying to import that .swf file into a Flash Catalyst project but when I do I only see the blue border around the asset when I click it in the layers panel. In the top left corner is a small round Flash Icon ( I believe it is the Flash Shockwave version - Blueish Gray). Nothing shows when I "Run" the project nor when I added the .swf file in the local folder from where Flash Catalyst runs the project.
I tried re-publishing the original Flash file in different version of Flash player, but to no avail. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if I have imported incorrectly or what.
Even though I cannot see the .swf file imported into Flash Catalyst, I still tried to add an interaction to play on Application Start, but nothing there either.
At a loss and looking for some direction.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Cheers!

Erik -
It's a pleasure to help someone! I just got through this as you can see. Only problem is I just hacked it with no precision, so for example I moved a lot of files to the server to make them accessable and then it played. But near as I can tell, I'll tell you the story.
There are two things going on. When you play it locally it's different from when you play it on the web. You are correct, you should see the first frame of the swf in your animation. To get it to play (assuming it is set to play)you then have to control+enter to preview (on windows). The assests are laid out locally in the file structure displayed in the url bar. no?
Part of it is that there may be several things going on here... All I can do is tell you all the numerous problems I had, made worse because I had 3 different work-stations...
I had problems when I had several swfs floating around in the library and I think similar names: Eventually I just did a clean export of the swf (the first one was from Flash... 3? 4? and Catalyst is cs5... ) and such to just do the work-flow in one motion. I had too many work-stations going on. So that part I finally did cleanly, and when that was settled, I could handle the file issues.
The swf: It does have to be in the same folder, and not in a sub-folder. Also, all the contents from DEPLOY TO WEB - just drag it into your site folder defined by dreamweaver or whatever and put it on the server at the same level, NO russian dolls (no file folders within folders). With Dreamweaver, when you upload a swf, you select the MAIN file and supposedly DW pulls files - it does, but not all of them, such as supporting swfs.
I would have thought that DW would do it correctly automatically : It seems to want to: but there are still kinks.
If you're like me, you recognize that catalyst is a powerful creative stage, but this stuff is just annoying and really easier just man-handled with precision once and forgotten about lol.
I heard also some grumbling on swfs that are just too huge or have aspects that don't import well, but it doesnt' sound like a problem in this case.
Do update me - I'm around this weekend, would love to see you succeed on this.
Cache,
Thanks for your replies. I have put the .swf file in the same "local" directory as the main.html for the FC Project I am working on and no luck locally. However, does the .swf file have to be in the local directory of the FC project prior to it being imported into FC for it to work locally?
Also, when I was watching a video tutorial about inserting .swf files into FC, the graphics/content of the .swf that was inserted could be seen in the design view of FC. My imported .swf only shows a small, round flash icon in the corner and nothing else. This doesn't seem right to me. Shouldn't one be able to see the graphics/content of the imported .swf so that it can be properly placed in the design? That is how it was in the video tutorial. If this is also due to the location of the imported .swf then Adobe has not made that clear in anything I have read or seen.

Disparition des versions d'essai en CS5 de InDesign, Flash pro et Dreamweaver

Bonjour,
Je voudrais savoir pourquoi les versions d'essai en CS5 de base de InDesign, Flash pro et Dreamweaver ont disparu du site Adobe ?
Alors que pourtant pour Illustrator et Photoshop Extended, les versions d'essai CS5 restent disponibles ?
J'espère que vous pourrez me répondre et me dire ou je pourrais les trouver en versions d'essai.
Merci beaucoup.

My machine translation leads me to think you are looking for trial versions. Adobe only posts trials for the most current versions, which in the case of InDesign is CS5.5.
I don't know if the tricks on this web page will get you to CS5 trials, but you can check Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
It is important to follow the directions on that page exactly, so if you don't read English very well you should ask someone who does to help you.

Flash Embed in Dreamweaver and IE on PC

Hi,
I just completed my first flash page and everything looks
good so far. But I'm having an issue when I look at the page on a
PC using IE. When the page load's the flash movie needs to be
clicked on before the buttons are allowed to roll over. This does
not happen on macs using any of the browsers I have, Mozilla and
safari.
Here's how I've embedded the swf file. I've imported the
flash movie and placed in a dreamweaver HTML file then uploaded to
server. Any ideas how to solve this issue. I can provide a link if
it'll help.
Thanks

Embedding a Flash animation in a Flash Site

I'm looking for a solution to the following problem. I am
developing my website in Flash and I would like to show examples of
interactive flash animations I have developed. I imported my my
.swf animation to my flash site library, but when I drag and drop
it to the stage the following happens:
1. The animation plays from frame to frame without stopping.
2. Elements which were hidden (off the stage) in the
animation now show up on the stage.
3. When I open the animation in edit view (double click the
animation on the stage) the entire animation appears as individual
frames on one timeline.
I would like to maintain the interactivity of the animation
on the site (i.e. buttons, tool tips) and I suspect there is a way
to embed the animation in the flash site while in flash.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You don't really want to add new files that way. In addition
to the problems that you list, you will also be making one, large,
file. This means that it will take longer to download, and possibly
play poorly.
You should keep these independent .swf files as they are, and
"import" them using either AS2's loadMovie() or AS3's URLRequest()
to bring each file into your movie.
